The Trail Blazers played in a desperate situation. In the end, they relied on Aldridge to make a three-pointer from the outside, breaking the deadlock.

This is the second time the Trail Blazers have fallen into scoring drought in this game, and then they have to rely on the players' personal abilities to break this situation.

Stotts didn't want to see this at all, which meant that the Trail Blazers' F1o offense was not moving.

When they were more than ten points behind, their attack could not flow completely, and the final result would be death.

At this time, Stotts had only two cards in his hand, namely Aldridge and Lillard.

At this moment, they must rely on their personal abilities to bite the score and bring it closer, so that the team will have a chance to the end of the game.

The Clippers played very smartly at this time. After taking the lead, the Clippers began to play the rhythm and began to give the ball to Paul.

Paul was pick-and-roll with Li Liang at the high position. Li Liang first pretended to cut out, then suddenly rushed in, and then Paul passed the ball to Li Liang with a beautiful attack.

After receiving the ball, Li Liang did not make a layup, but suddenly made a quick stop and jumped into the basket at close range.

This ball almost staggered with Robin Lopez, who defended Li Liang. He didn't cut the pick-and-roll and jumped instead, and he never saw him before!

But Li Liang is like this. He has a greater confidence in the emergency stop jump shot and is not allowed to be hit.

Do you want to follow me and get me behind my butt? There is no door.

Then, Matthews fouled Crawford's three-pointer in defense, sent Crawford to the free throw line and three free throws.

Now, the Trail Blazers are about to collapse and can't hold on anymore.

They also lag behind when they played against the Rockets, but they were able to catch up quickly when they reached 10 points.

It feels completely different to play the Clippers, and it feels like you can't catch up no matter how hard you chase it.

The Clippers' defense is not only better than the Rockets, but also more targeted.

Li Liang is quite familiar with this so-called F1o offense. Li Liang is like a firefighter, and he is everywhere he has a pick-and-roll.

Anyway, his defense is both inside and outside, universal glue. Don’t you move, I will make you unable to move.

As for Batum, Li Liang is too lazy to care about him. Let him go, you have the will torture to kill me.

As a result, Batum scored no point in the first half, made an O-pointer from 2 three-pointers, and made an O-pointer from 3 two-pointers, and a O-pointer from 5 shots.

Li Liang made 3 of 6 three-pointers in the first half and 4 of 7 two-pointers, which was very efficient.

Li Liang scored 20 points in the first half, helping the Clippers lead the Trail Blazers by 25 points!

With 25 points, the Trail Blazers scored a total of 1 three-pointer in the first half, which was Aldridge's shot.

You should know that in the first round, the Trail Blazers averaged nearly 10 three-pointers per game, and averaged 5 per half.

5 three-pointers are 15 points, and the Trail Blazers lost 12 points.

After returning to the locker room at the end of the half, the solemnity before the game began had already been wiped out.

What the Trail Blazers are, it turns out that they are at this level. They beat the ball in half and the 25-point difference is basically announced that the game is over.

But at this time, Li Liang stood up and warned everyone, "The game is only half played, and even if we win this game, there are three left. Believe in yourself before the game starts, and don't underestimate your opponent after the game starts."

As the core of the Clippers, Li Liang not only played the leading role, but also played the role of a political commissar.

It was indeed for the team and for the Clippers.

Rivers agreed with Li Liang's opinion and spent five minutes carefully setting up the offense and defense in the second half, analyzing some of the problems that occurred in the Clippers in the first half.

The biggest problem facing the Clippers are their mistakes at the moment.

Since Li Liang as the core and the comprehensive organizational offensive strategy has been developing, the Clippers' mistakes have been rising.

The regular season is nothing, but in the playoffs, turnovers are very fatal.

Perhaps it doesn't matter to a team like the Trail Blazers with a relatively large gap in strength, but if there are still many mistakes in the face of the Spurs and the Heat, the positive impact of the entire team organization is likely to be offset by the negative impact of the mistakes.

Even in some key battles, high-versus-low-scoring games, the destructive power of high mistakes will be even more terrifying.

Of course, high mistakes cannot disappear if you emphasize them during halftime.

As long as you attach importance to cooperation and ball transfer, and sacrifice rigor for the sake of degree, mistakes are inevitable.

If you really want to avoid it, it ultimately depends on the tacit cooperation between the players and the concentration of the game.

Rivers decided to remind this issue repeatedly during the series, hoping that the team can make a breakthrough when necessary.

The Clippers are already thinking about the entire team's strategy and playoff direction, while the Trail Blazers are thinking about how to turn the tables in the second half.

In fact, it is the same problem that the Clippers are thinking about, and there is no way out for a short period of time.

If you can't make a three-pointer, what can you do?

In the same game, the same basket, facing the Rockets, they just don't go in the Clippers.

There is one reason why the Clippers' defense is better than the Rockets, and another reason is that the Trail Blazers cannot keep up with the Clippers' pace.

Rhythm is very important for pitchers. If the rhythm is right, you can shoot whatever you want. If the rhythm is not right, you won’t enter the open space.

Starting from Stotts' substitute in the second lineup in the middle of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers' rhythm was actually messed up.

In the second half of the second quarter, when the Clippers' offense blossomed, the Trail Blazers were even more at a loss.

Especially Aldridge's inside line can't be opened at this point, Jordan Jr. and Li Liang took turns to defend Ade. The defensive pressure is not comparable to that of the Rockets' Smith and Jones.

Needless to say, Lillard is still too young in front of Paul.

Paul didn't play much role in the defensive end of the round, because the Mavericks' point guard was weak, and Carlisle didn't let Calderon play in the end.

In the second round, Paul's cunning on the defensive end was fully revealed.

He pestered Lillard tightly, constantly interfering with Lillard, and kept making small moves.

Lillard was so comfortable in the round, but he was not used to it at the semi-finals.

He was physically bullied by Paul and mentally humiliated by Li Liang.

If you don’t explode in silence, just make a fool of yourself in silence!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Lillard used the degree and cover to sweep the ball, and then stopped to jump in the corner, and Bang made a blacksmith.

The inside player Lopez tried his best to grab the frontcourt rebound, but ended up getting two blocks. He rose to the third time, which caused Griffin to foul.

My arms are still not long enough, otherwise Griffin would have snatched the ball long ago, so why would he have committed a foul?

Lopez made one of two free throws, but missed the second free throw. Li Liang accidentally hit the ball out of the baseline, but it was still the Trail Blazers' ball.

The Trail Blazers held the ball, but the offensive method he chose was to send Batum, who was running empty-handed. Batum received the ball, but under Li Liang's defense, he shot three times...

Without diamonds, don’t take care of porcelain work.

What are you throwing at?

Li Liang can’t stand it anymore. Batum, you haven’t scored a single goal yet!

bsp;                                                             �

Compared with the Trail Blazers and Batum's impatience, Li Liang's running position and shooting are both slow and orderly.

Including his running position, Li Liang never randomly adds and changes directions to quickly get rid of his opponent.

Because Li Liang knew that compared to getting rid of his opponent, it is more important to maintain his own sense of rhythm.

If you lose the sense of rhythm in order to get rid of it, you won’t hit the final shot.

The Trail Blazers now have no rhythm in the entire team, and their offensive choice is not on the point because Ade cannot open this point.

The players' offense became impatient because they wanted to chase points quickly, but the result was that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger.

The third quarter took three minutes and the score difference was almost 30 points.

The Trail Blazers scored two points with Lillard's free throw, and then Matthews made a quick stop and jump shot after pick-and-roll.

But on the Clippers, Paul assisted Griffin to dunk at the basket, and then Li Liang faced Batum, tried to stop and hit the middle distance.

If you attack like this, the Trail Blazers will not be able to beat the Clippers.

The Clippers used this small cooperation and personal ability to slowly consume the game, and the Trail Blazers could not see any chance or hope.

Exciting hope, real excitement.

There is a ball's offense that is particularly obvious.

The Trail Blazers have already defended with all their might, and have done their best every point, suppressing the Clippers' positional offense well.

But in the end, when Li Liang missed the jump shot, Jordan Jr. transferred the rebound and Paul reorganized the offense.

Then he broke through the basket and passed the ball to the outside. Barnes relied on cover to kill the basket and missed the layup, which took 24 seconds.

But Li Liang followed from the wing and made a tip-in...

I'm going to beat him!

This is how the Trail Blazers players feel.

This offensive and defensive battle took nearly a minute, and two defenses were finally successful until the last moment, one frontcourt rebound and one tip-in, which was completely ruined.

This ball has a huge blow to morale, and when the ball is added, the Trail Blazers are already 30 points behind the Clippers.

At this time, there are still 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

Stotts called another pause, which was already hopeless.

I can't beat it, I really can't beat it. I feel that the Clippers don't have real strength yet.

Li Liang had already scored 30 points at this time.

At this time, he was still arrogant on the bench and said to his teammates: "You must work hard and play well. Look, if it weren't for me, you would have tied with the Trail Blazers! Come on!"

Your algorithm is really simple enough. You will get 30 points ahead and you will get 30 points. Without you, you will get equal.

But this is said from Li Liang's mouth. If you use a hair dryer to process it, it seems that there is a little reason?
