Change is not a simple matter, and it often needs to be at the cost of failure.

Fortunately, the Clippers have the capital to change and have abundant records as a buffer for losing.

After losing to the Spurs, the Clippers began a road trip, with the first stop being Memphis.

The Memphis Grizzlies are still strong so far, going further and further on the unique inside-defensive road.

Before the two sides fought, the Clippers still had the advantage over the Grizzlies.

Because Li Liang's point was well controlled by Randolph, the Grizzlies' offensive lameness and were completely unable to compete with the Clippers.

Tonight's Grizzlies learned from the previous game and made sufficient preparations before the game. They made changes in rotation and positioning.

First, let Randolph avoid his edge and no longer fight with Li Liang. He will play Gasol and Conley at the beginning, and will help to drive the outside offense as much as possible.

As long as Li Liang defends Randolph, Randolph will open up and give the space to other teammates.

Although Randolph is a powerful attacker in the inside, he has excellent mid- and long-distance shooting.

To be honest, if Li Liang faces him, if he pulls apart, Li Liang really has to follow him.

The result was that the Grizzlies played very smoothly at the beginning of the offense, and Conley and Gasol made assists one after another.

One of the major problems that the Clippers have not solved so far is that their defense against empty cuts has always been poor.

In the current lineup of the Clippers, Ming Dao and Ming Gun are on the verge of head-on, and basically no one is afraid of the defensive end.

But there are always loopholes in the defense of empty cuts and counter-runs because their defense is still not intact. After all, it is Mike Brown's first season, and the defense cannot be as tacit as the Spurs.

Faced with this situation, the Clippers can generally break through their opponents on the offensive end.

You cut your hair and steal two points, the Clippers turn around and hit you with two three-pointers, and the Clippers still win.

But Paul was still not in good condition tonight.

Conley defended Paul throughout the whole process, controlling Paul's scoring and shooting, and even used some rough fouls to disrupt Paul's game rhythm.

Li Liang was generous tonight and happily handed the ball over to Paul to organize it.

Then I was still the same as before, mainly running empty-handedly to assist in organizing the offense.

The Grizzlies were so strict with each other that they were defending themselves and completely empty Barnes. They would rather let Barnes take the open position than give Li Liang a chance to take action.

This move undoubtedly worked. Barnes made two three-pointers from the outside but failed to make the ball, so he didn't dare to shoot later.

Barnes' three-pointer was already very unstable. He had a burst in the middle of the season and then fell sharply, which was too iron.

Because there was a little change in his family, there was a problem with his relationship with his wife.

For middle-aged men, the impact of marriage and family on work is immeasurable.

He put on the jersey and was an athlete on the court. He took off the jersey and got off the court. He was a middle-aged man in his 30s.

Once there is a problem off the court, it cannot be seen on the surface, but it has a great impact on the mentality, which will have a negative effect on the performance of the court.

During this period, Barnes was much silent. Every day, he went on time to leave on time and left after training.

Li Liang heard him call in the parking lot several times, and the quarrel was very fierce on the phone.

My teammates knew it was definitely a problem with their relationship with their wife, but it was hard for everyone to ask.

Barnes is in poor condition, butler is absent due to injury, and Li Liang's task on his shoulder is even heavier.

Now, all teams are strictly guarding Li Liang. If the Grizzlies' strategy of letting Barnes off in this game and preventing Li Liang works, the teams behind will definitely follow suit and put all their efforts on Li Liang.

And to break this pressure, the best way is to get the ball in with your teammates.

Even if Barnes can't, the rest of the backcourt must respond, otherwise you can't score four or three, so don't they just double-team?

Paul is the one who is in the brunt of the matter. Paul must stand up and score.

As a result, Paul felt awkward again tonight.

It’s not that Paul doesn’t play well, but because he hurts his right shoulder joint, which is crucial for shooting.

In high-intensity competitions, any deviation caused by a little discomfort will make the difference a thousand miles away.

Simply put, iron!

Paul is out of bounds tonight again. After 10 of the last game, there were another 3 of 14 shots in this game.

But Paul knew that he had to attack, and the short point guard without attack would become unthreatening and effective on the court.

Because of Paul's iron, the Clippers' attacks were intermittent and there was no tide-like attack wave.

Moreover, the Clippers' substitute performance tonight was extremely poor. Except for Griffin, others could not find any offensive feeling under the Grizzlies' high-intensity defense.

There is no way, the rhythm is not good.

As the saying goes, if you want to run fast, you all rely on the locomotive.

Paul's car is so strong that he can move it?

But what makes Rivers feel strange is that Li Liang, who has always been passionate in the past games, has played steadily in the last two games.

When the team was behind, they did not use their personal abilities to turn the tide, but continued to play steadily and give the ball to Paul.

If you have the opportunity on the outside, you should still shoot firmly and pass the ball without the opportunity.

The Grizzlies have a tight defense against him tonight, but Li Liang's several transfers were very good, and his teammates had all had opportunities, but they just couldn't make it.

In this case, Li Liang should have put the medicine on the ground. Biubiu scored five or six three-pointers on the Grizzlies to reverse the situation.

But this situation did not happen, and Li Liang just did not turn on God mode to save the team.

Actually, Li Liang doesn’t want to win. Can the god mode be turned on at will?

Is God always showing up, is that still God? That's a liar.

Besides, in the regular season, Li Liang doesn’t want to use some props.

But there is another more important reason. Li Liang wants his teammates, coaches, and fans to experience what the difference is there with Paul as the absolute core and him as the absolute core.

Li Liang didn’t want to fight Paul to make him look ugly. As the team’s highest salary, what happened to the point of making a few more shots?

Can't make a shot? Look at the person next door to Los Angeles, what did the others say?

Moreover, if Li Liang only looked at the data in this game, he played very efficiently, making 2 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 1o shots, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 2o points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Although the data is not high, it is absolutely beautiful, and the defensive end has done a good job of curbing Randolph. Basically, as long as Li Liang is defending, Randolph will not be able to score the goal.

However, Li Liangzhen has no control over Gasol and Conley. There are also substitutes, Grizzlies substitutes, Mike Miller and James Johnson both performed well, and the two teamed up to score 31 points.

The Clippers' substitute scored a total of 8 points tonight. Crawford got diarrhea after having a hit with the Grizzlies, but his hands were still not hard enough.

Even so, the Clippers still fought with the Grizzlies until the last moment.

Li Liang faced double-team at a critical moment and hit a long three-pointer, helping the Clippers equalize the score!

This is his second three-pointer in this game.

The Grizzlies called a timeout. At the critical moment, Gasol made a high jump shot first.

Then in the defense, Tony Allen blocked Crawford's three-pointer. Mike Conley got the ball and quickly made a layup, avoided Li Liang's block and made a layup.

The key score of the two helped the Grizzlies rebuild their advantage and keep the advantage until the end.

The Grizzlies defeated the Clippers at home and gave the Clippers two consecutive losses.

The last time the Clippers lost to the Magic and the Heat at the beginning of the season.

In this way, the Clippers' record reached 48 wins and 9 losses.

The two consecutive losses have allowed people to see that the Clippers are currently in a small dilemma.

Compared with the last game, the Clippers' changes were very small, and Paul added his inside breakthrough, but the effect was not good.

Griffin is very stable, but for some reason, his move always feels that the impact on the outcome of the game is not big enough.

Although the score difference in the game is not big, the Clippers have the chance to win, but the last few offenses and defenses are actually the epitome of the whole game - they can't beat the Grizzlies as a whole, and their hopes for winning are placed on Li Liang's miracle creation.

After Li Liang made everyone feel tight after hitting the three-pointer, he stopped taking action and gave the ball to Paul, who blamed Crawford and finally got the shot.

Poor Crawford, the two bosses don’t fight for themselves, and insist on letting me, an elderly man, take action!

I lost two consecutive games, and the atmosphere in the locker room was not very good.

Everyone thought Li Liang would curse people, but they didn't expect that Li Liang didn't say anything, and came out to be interviewed by reporters after taking a shower, and left after saying a few words.

After returning to the hotel, Mike Brown found Li Liang and asked him about some of his situation.

"Bruce, do you have any objections to the team's current tactics?"

Brown is straight to the point, and there is no need to be a turn for his relationship with Li Liang.

Li Liang shook his head and said, "No, did I not fight according to the tactics? I'm very reasonable."

Brown said: "It's very reasonable...but it's too reasonable..."

Damn, it’s not OK to be reasonable? Do you have to be unreasonable?

Look at what you are meant to be abusive, I can die suddenly.

No matter how high the three-point shooting percentage is, it is only 50%, less than half.
