Chapter 495 Proxy War(1/2)

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers fell into a scoring drought.

Griffin led the Clippers' second team to play against the Heat's second team on the court, but he couldn't get the ball.

The Heat's strong and oppressive defense from the outside makes it quite difficult to transfer the ball.

Moreover, the referee's whistle was very tight tonight, and he was very strict in both offense and defense.

The Heat were hailed twice for defensive fouls, but the Clippers also had two offenses in the offense.

This repeated whistle blew the game to pieces, making the Clippers' rapid offense impossible to hit.

The Heat's offense was also average. Wade rushed to the basket with the ball, turned around and threw the basket, but failed to hit the ball due to interference from the Clippers players.

The ball seemed to hit Wade's face, but the referee did not whistle.

Maybe just because the whistle was clamoring too frequently just now, the audience would probably smash the eggs to the audience, so the referee did not blow it.

The Clippers launched a counterattack again.

Griffin dribbled the ball himself, made a layup all the way to the basket, and was fouled from behind by Birdman Anderson, and flew out of the bottom line.

This time the referee's whistle rang, and Griffin flew out and fell down. If he didn't blow the whistle, he would be thrown by the audience.

Referee work is really hard to do.

Griffin is also an honest man. Although Anderson was fouled so hard, he didn't say anything. After being pulled up by his teammates, he walked towards the free throw line.

If this ball is replaced by Li Liang, I am afraid that it is not going to curse Anderson out of the way.

Moreover, Anderson has played in China and should understand Chinese. Li Liang must scold and greet Anderson so that he will miss the wonderful time in Nanjing.

As a result, Griffin missed two free throws!

Damn, you will be useless if you give you a chance!

Li Liang was in pain when he saw him off the court.

Griffin performed well when playing in the team with average strength in front.

As a result, today, the super strong team like the Heat revealed its true colors.

To put it bluntly, my hands are not hard enough.

In high-intensity confrontation, the success rate of offense has dropped significantly.

Moreover, as an inside line, he has a natural disadvantage in ball-holding attack and is not easy to catch the ball.

Just now, Griffin realized this, so he controlled the ball and killed the basket.

As a result, if you miss the free throw, how can you take on the big responsibility?

However, the Clippers' defense is quite strong, withstood the Heat's offense and did not allow the Heat to open up the gap.

Rea missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the Clippers got a backcourt rebound.

Griffin still got stuck at the low post and wanted the ball, and Anderson was still defending him.

The two men started a fierce hand-to-hand combat at the low post, but Anderson was called a defensive foul.

But Rivers on the sidelines were not satisfied. He believed that the Heat had suspected fouls against Griffin's defensive actions before, so why did they still call the foul?

Of course the referee doesn't buy it. I have already made enough fouls and are already controlling the players' movements. Are you still betting?

Okay, let me give you another technical foul.

I'm still beating, I'm going to send you back to the locker room to take a shower.

Rivers was hailed as a technical foul, Ray Allen hit the free throw line and hit the free throw.

Rivers, who was slandered as a skill, returned to the bench and said, "Old Li, don't be excited, what's the point of scolding you? Don't be anxious, watch me come up and scold you later."

Rivers nodded helplessly. He recently discovered that the referee was always too strict with the Clippers' whistle, and I don't know if it was related to Li Liang.

When a new president takes office, he always has to win some stars and some stars. This has always been the unspoken rule of the league.

Business alliances need to create stars.

For example, before LeBron James left the Cavaliers to go to the Heat, the referee obviously took good care of the whistle.

At that time, James' offensive skills were still flawed, and some of the steps in the offense were not very clean.

Including the layup that won the Wizards in the playoffs, it is still full of controversy.

However, after he made a decision and went to the Heat, this kind of care disappeared, and at least he was no longer mentioned.

On the contrary, what James is often mentioned now is that he will not be given a whistle if he enters the inside and is beaten to death.

Now Li Liang follows James in the v rankings, and with his performance, he has a vague trend of becoming the top player in the league.

However, it sounds incredible that a Chinese player becomes the top NBA player.

Rivers doubted whether the league wanted to suppress Li Liang and the Clippers.

Especially Li Liang's press conference some time ago, it caused a significant public opinion crisis to the NBA and made Xiao Hua sweat.

This is also very rare in NBA history, comparable to when Bob Cusey led his players to strike at the All-Star Game and asked the league to formulate better retirement policies for the players.

Li Liang is a man who is more at will on the court, and Rivers is really worried that Li Liang will be treated unfavorably in the subsequent games.

To be honest, the basketball game is still very affected by the referee’s penalty.

A clever referee can definitely control the outcome of a game without violating the rules.

With this worry, Rivers looked at the time, and the second quarter took 4 minutes and called a timeout.

The score between the Clippers and the Heat is 38:34.

The Clippers scored a total of 6 points. If Crawford hadn't just made a three-pointer, the Clippers' score would have been lower.

The Clippers' rapid offensive was not launched at all, and the positional war did not play the role of Griffin.

Crawford's three-pointer was entirely based on his personal ability and he pulled out his hands from the outside.

There is no doubt that the Clippers' offense was suppressed by the Heat and they were in a lot of trouble.

During the suspension, Rivers emphasized that the players should speed up the ball transfer speed, reduce fouls, and appropriately reduce the speed of the game.

Rivers specifically instructed Li Liang to ask him to pay attention to fouls and not get into trouble with fouls.

Li Liang nodded. He really needs to pay attention to the foul issue recently.

The game started again, and as soon as it came, Crawford caught the ball from the outside and made a quick three-pointer!

The ball enters!

Crawford felt hot and he could catch the ball and shoot.

He didn't care whether there was a defense in front of him or not, so he threw the ball and went in.

When your offensive tactics cannot be played out, players like Crawford are life-saving players.

Immediately afterwards, the Heat once again played a beautiful empty-cut tactic on the offensive end. Wade cut to the basket, James passed the ball, and Wade received the ball and made a layup with his backhand.

As a result, it was blocked by Li Liang!

Li Liang came up from the back, tapped the ball gently, and dropped the ball from Wade's hand.

Then Li Liang took the ball away and the Clippers launched a counterattack.

Li Liang did not obey Rivers' arrangements at all, so he slowed down and slowly attacked the position.

The position to fight a cat is just the current configuration of the Clippers. How could it be better than the Heat without Paul?

If the Clippers want to win this game, they must play quickly, forcefully play quickly, and bring up the rhythm.

This is the case with NBA competitions. Teams with different styles must stick to their own styles.

Whoever can stick to his style and play it out will win the game.

Therefore, Li Liang made a super long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Griffin was still the forward who rushed to the frontcourt.

This pass is quite accurate. Griffin did not dribble after receiving the ball, and directly stepped to kill the basket and made a layup!

The ball rushed too hard, and Griffin scored and rushed out of the baseline.

As soon as the ball was scored, it was the Heat's turn to call a timeout, and the gap between the two sides was smoothed out.

However, the timeout did not help the Heat. The Heat's routine in positional offense was discovered by the Clippers, or Li Liang.

Their empty cuts were no longer effective. After the pause, Chalmos tried to empty cuts again, but was intercepted by Li Liang.

Then, Li Liang passed the ball to Crawford, and Crawford's jump shot caused Bathir to foul and went to the free throw line.

Crawford played very well in the second quarter and scored 8 points in a row after hitting the free throw.

When Crawford was hot, Li Liang was not hesitant to his pass to assist him.

The Clippers are slowly turning their momentum around.

Their defense slowly gathered, under the command of Li Liang.

The Heat's transfer balls very quickly, but they can't find a good phone.

In the end, Bosh failed to make a forced move from outside.
