Now Li Liang has been resting for most of the first quarter. If he continues to rest, the rest will be too long and it will be cold.

At this time, Li Liang had already stood up from the bench and was ready to go.

I haven't played for most of the time, and the feel is about to cool down.

Rivers waved his hand to Li Liang and signaled him to go back and rest.

Lao Li, I will be cold if I don’t get on! Li Liang muttered.

Following the process, I don't want to be surprised. Rivers Road.

This is a regular season game, and Rivers believes that players appearing in a time period that they are unfamiliar with will not only affect their condition, but also may be at risk of injury.

What kind of bullshit theory will Li Liang be injured?

But out of caution, Rivers felt that he could win this game, and if he couldn't win, he didn't want to take any risks.

Li Liang rests and lets him rest.

Rivers is not Mike Brown after all, he is not so obedient and has more ideas.

Li Liang had no choice but to sit back on the bench and put on his coat again, so as not to be frozen.

As a result, after the start of the second quarter, the Thunder continued to suppress the Clippers.

But Durant's performance was not good tonight, his shooting felt poor, and he didn't seize the good chance of openings on the outside several times.

I wonder if Durant felt it was not challenging to see Li Liang sitting off the court?

Li Liang still made the game during a normal period of time. After playing, he missed two three-pointers, and his touch was lost.

But the feeling of defense will not be lost. After Li Liang came on the court, the Clippers immediately began to chase points.

They were originally 14 points behind, so they rushed all the way and narrowed the gap to 3 points before the end of the midfield, 56:59, and the first half ended.

The Thunder's offensive state is average tonight, with relatively large ups and downs.

They all rushed up fiercely, and several times went in, and then they became iron.

After all, the Thunder relies on Durant and Westbrook's personal state in offense. Once a certain person's state is average, the offense will drop to a higher level.

For teams like this, the more stars you hoard, the better, and the more you get, the safer it is.

But the detonator sent Harden away, hey, his brain was hijacked by the Timberwolves management.

In the second half, Durant's form recovered, and he hit the middle distance again at the opening game, and then a big loop caused Li Liang to foul.

Li Liang was speechless, do you think you are right?

Li Liang felt that since the last time Xiao Hua took office, he held a press conference to disclose that the NBA discriminated against Chinese people, the referee has become increasingly strict with Li Liang's whistle.

I used to talk about reasoning to him, but now I still talk about the truth, but even the harsh punishment has become less favorable.

A foul at the beginning is still very harmful to a player like Li Liang, who is based on defense.

In fact, Brooks caught a weakness in the Clippers' lineup configuration, and with the help of the referee, it naturally caused trouble for Li Liang and the Clippers.

Brooks discovered that Li Liang is both the core of the offensive in the Clippers, but also the task of vanguarding on the defensive end.

This kind of task allocation is actually very unreasonable - of course, it’s up to Mike Brown, he wants to highlight Li Liang’s core position!

Generally speaking, the team's offensive organization core must bear less defensive pressure on the defensive end.

Even players with both offense and defense are capable of keeping spare energy on the offensive end and not getting into foul troubles, they will also allocate defensive tasks for others to share.

For example, before 2008, Duncan of the Spurs had Robinson earlier, and the Spurs would definitely give Duncan a coolie center to be a meat shield in the later period.

For example, Kobe, when he was on the same team as O'Neal, he was the second-in-command of the offensive end, so he could do his best to be a mad dog on the defensive end. After 2008, the Lakers hoarded the small guards like Jasic, Shannon, Brown, Jordan Famal on the back line to share the defensive responsibility of replacing Kobe.

After all, offense is still the most important thing. If the defensive end is consumed too much energy or is troubled by fouls, it will have a very unfavorable impact on the team as a whole.

Therefore, Mike Brown had this consideration when he first started.

But the problem is that Barnes can indeed share part of it, but Li Liang's burden on defense is still too heavy.

Every time he plays a team with a strong forward, Li Liang will rush forward to fight.

He can defend small forwards, but he can also stand the power forwards.

Durantlandov James Kobe Harden, the offensive arrowheads of these other teams, Li Liang has to go to fight with them one-on-one.

Judging from Li Liang's age and qualifications, there is no problem. For young people in the second grade, they are in a time of vitality. Who will block if you don't block it?

Like Spurs Leonard and Pacers George, they all came up like this.

But Li Liang developed too fast, and he had already successfully seized power in the offense.

Now that he will take on both burdens. Even if you have strong abilities, you can be directly exposed to your opponent's calculations, and it will be easy to have problems.

Brooks has carefully studied the Clippers and Li Liang. He believes that if the Thunder are going to break out of the West this year, they must pass the Clippers' level (not taking the Spurs seriously). The Clippers' unbalanced lineup structure and responsibility allocation are weaknesses that can be exploited.

After Li Liang was called a foul at the beginning of the third quarter, he became much more honest in defense.

He dared not take action easily and did not dare to make offensive fouls casually. The Thunder took the opportunity to attack and launched an offensive climax, widening the gap between the two sides to 15 points.

The Clippers played very toughly, and Li Liang began to shoot frequently on the outside. At the end of the third quarter, he finally found a three-pointer feeling and hit three consecutive three-pointers!

The third ball is when the offensive time is approaching, and jumps directly near the center line and hits the board!

The ball helped the Clippers narrow the gap to only 2 points and enter the fourth quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, Paul made a mid-range jump shot from the start, pulling both sides back to the same starting line.

The two sides began a battle of defensive battles back and forth.

Li Liang played very cautiously in the fourth quarter. He did not use props, nor did he throw three-pointers from the outside because his strong three-point shooting ability value exceeded 60 points.

He didn't want to expose himself immediately as soon as he improved his ability.

Mike Brown is right. Now countless eyes are staring at him all the time, figuring out his offensive skills and methods, and trying every means to limit him in the game.

From inside to off-field, from skill to psychology, the more difficulties and obstacles you face, the more you face, so Li Liang must keep his hands.

Even if he can't win 70, judging from the current public opinion direction, 67 wins are enough to allow Li Liang to win the regular season MVP.

At this time, Paul stood up and made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

Durant responded immediately and hit the first three-pointer of the game. If he played better, with Li Liang's fragmented playing time today, the Thunder would defeat the Clippers with a big score.

The scores of both sides rose alternately, and at the critical last moment, Westbrook showed his might.

First, the zombies made a jump shot from the middle distance, and then made a substitute in the offense, helping the Thunder lead by 4 points.

After the Clippers were suspended, they originally wanted Li Liang to make a three-pointer, but the Thunder chose to foul Paul and sent Paul to the free throw line!

Brooks, you can do it. When I was playing against the Clippers, I played Jordan Jr. (I learned from Popovich, and I cut Perkins). Now I am learning the penalty kick tactics of Lao Li. If you don’t learn the good ones, you can learn this bad trick very quickly.

As a result, Paul also had two free throws, and Westbrook snatched the rebound at the basket.

There are 40 seconds left. The Clippers were originally defending against the Thunder, but there is still a chance to fight again.

As a result, Durant played Li Liang one-on-one and missed a mid-range jump shot, but Westbrook won another rebound at the basket!

This little guard is really good at rebounding.

Once this key frontcourt rebound was won, the Clippers fell into a complete passive state.

He had to foul and sent Westbrook to the free throw line.

As a result, Westbrook made both free throws and the difference reached 5 points.

It was difficult now. Rivers called a timeout and arranged a tactic of receiving the ball and three-pointers for Li Liang.

As a result, when Li Liang received the ball, the Thunder fouled again and sent Li Liang to the free throw line.

Brooks was extremely careful and did not give Li Liang a chance to change his fate.

Li Liang made two free throws, but it was useless. The difference was still three-pointer. The ball was in the hands of the Thunder again, and there was no time.

Rivers was blinded by the geese all day long and died in the penalty shootout.

In the end, the Thunder took away a victory with a 109:106 and 3-point advantage at Stamps, compressing the Clippers' hope of winning 70 wins to the last three games.

On April 13, the Clippers will play against the Kings at home.

Before the game started, Li Liang found his junior Cousins ​​and said that he would win the game and he would never be criticized in the game again.

Then the Clippers beat the Kings at 120:101 at home, and Cousins ​​asked Li Liang if he really didn't criticize him anymore after the game.

Li Liangdao, we should have won this game, it’s not your credit, you scored too many points, it doesn’t count.

Cousins ​​scored 32 points and 12 rebounds in this game, and his performance was indeed very good.

Thinking about what Li Liang said makes sense, he didn't pursue it and say anything more.

After winning this game, the Clippers' winnings reached 68 games.

This is a very amazing achievement. The Clippers set the 21st century team's best regular season record, leaving the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers behind!

On the Los Angeles Clippers' team homepage, the number of 68 is extremely dazzling.

But the Clippers are not prepared to stay at this score.

The team, including the boss Ballmer, agreed that the team should win 70 wins.
