Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters do not look at the basket
The half-time match was not over, and everyone knew that this round of Western Conference Finals was indeed at a high level.
Anyway, it is much higher than the Clippers opening the Blazers.
Moreover, both sides have not yet been truly opened and are in the tentative stage.
For example, Li Liang, despite his excellent feel, still does not have the same attacks on himself.
If you want to change to an old scholar, you won’t let go if you don’t put the ball on the belt.
Li Liang makes full use of his defensive appeal and makes as many goals for his teammates as possible.
Even though there have been several mistakes, Li Liang is still passing the ball, assisting and supporting the ball.
Those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a domain. From this point of view, the Clippers' coach is not so much Rivers as Li Liang.
It was him who led the Clippers' offensive and defensive rhythm and fought wits and courage with Popovich.
During the pause, Li Liang's hair dryer was on, and he blew around his teammate Laoli.
Rivers is confused, are you coach or me?
Rivers didn't even say a few words, but listened to Li Liang and Paul communicating, and at the same time ordered tactics to arrange for his teammates.
Before going on stage, Li Liang kept hugging Odom and talking nonstop.
Odom played well in the semi-finals, but it was obviously much more difficult to reach the Western Conference Finals.
His fast ball-holding counterattack was not played, but was suppressed by the Spurs' meticulous defensive formation and extremely fast retreat.
You can try to play a low post, increase the attack at the low post and have a second rebound. Reduce counterattacks and don’t run around.
Li Liang reminded Odom to give up his playing style in the semi-finals and use new ideas to deal with the Spurs.
The Trail Blazers are far inferior to the Spurs in defense, so Odom can disrupt the battle and use his height to dribble against his opponent.
The Spurs are different. Odom is no longer as fast as before in terms of speed bounce, so he must play smarter.
For example, learn from the fat man opposite Boris Dior.
At the end of the timeout, Odom sat on the bench and rested, and Griffin returned to the court.
In the last half of the second quarter, the two sides continued to showdown.
As soon as they came on stage, Tony Parker and Chris Paul competed with each other's acting skills.
Parker was in the high position and Duncan picked and roll. Paul wanted to squeeze through, but he didn't squeeze through, so he reached out to pick up Parker.
As a result, Parker fell to the ground, and Paul staggered and slid to the ground, feeling like he was knocked to the ground by Duncan.
Duncan looked confused, stared at the left and right, and then looked at the referee, as if he didn't know what was going on.
The referee still made a judgment, thinking that Paul had committed a foul.
shit!
Paul cursed, Parker was much more experienced than Lillard.
After this foul, Paul's fouls in the first half reached 3 times, so he had to go off the court to rest.
Rivers replaced Livingston, which was a test for the Clippers' offensive organization.
Then, the Spurs re-selected the sideline ball. This time Parker repeated the same trick, and then rushed into the basket after pick-and-roll, attacking Li Liang's point, hoping to re-create Li Liang's foul.
As a result, the throw was interfered with and failed to hit, and Li Liang did not foul.
After all, it is the Clippers' home court. They are fouled by the opponent's main player, aren't they afraid of being booed to death?
But Livingston took the ball and launched a counterattack, and made a mistake in passing after drilling into the basket.
The Clippers made a lot of mistakes in the first half.
The Spurs were not inferior. They passed the long pass to Leonard who wanted to give the basket, but were cut off by Griffin!
The ball was given to Li Liang's hand, and Li Liang quickly passed the half-time game and used Jordan's pick-and-roll cover to apply it into the three-second zone.
Li Liang really wiped it in, not rushed in or rushed in.
He was not fast, so he controlled his pace carefully, and did not break too deep, and at the same time he paid attention to Leonard who was catching up with him.
Duncan was trying to watch Li Liang in the three-second zone while being careful of Li Liang passing the ball to Jordan behind him.
Duncan was alone after all. Li Liang seized the opportunity and suddenly stopped and jumped into a jump shot. He leaned forward slightly to avoid Leonard's block behind him.
Two points hit!
41:42, the Clippers successfully overtake!
Li Liang still didn't lose a single goal, and kept it up. Jordan's free throw was really to lower the average.
Li Liang also taught Jordan Jr. free throws during training, but it turned out to be useless, and his shots were even more inaccurate.
So it's better to let him explore it yourself, or let a professional shooting coach find a way.
This time Jordan Jr. had two free throws, and both sides tied 45:45.
There is more than one minute left before the end of the second quarter.
During the timeout, Popovich replaced Duncan and replaced Fatty Dior.
The Spurs launched a fast attack, and Dior directly broke through the basket with the ball at a high position. Under the siege of Griffin and Jordan Jr., the throwing shot failed.
But Fatty Dior actually got the frontcourt rebound, and before he was about to lose control of the balance and tiptoed to fly out of the baseline, a second behind him passed to Split who was following him.
Split got a dunk with both hands!
The Spurs' fire-extinguishing ability is really powerful.
But Popovich refused to stop and wanted to continue to chop Jordan!
Damn, are you finished? Do we still want to play basketball?
Do the audience want to watch football? Do the TV stations want to broadcast advertisements?
Popovich didn't care, he had made up his mind to let the Clippers' first half offense be spent on the free throw line.
Jordan Jordan missed the first penalty again, so he was so anxious.
He knew that the only way he didn't want to stand on this free throw line was to get the ball in.
If you make continuous free throws, the Spurs will not foul again.
But the more I think so, the more I won’t be punished.
The second penalty was still missing.
But the ball collapsed a little far away, and Li Liang suddenly rushed out and grabbed the ball between Split and Leonard!
Li Liang won the ball, rushed to the basket with one step, causing Leonard to make a defensive foul and also required a free throw.
Li Liang's free throws are different from Jordan Jr. He is the player with the highest free throw shooting percentage in the league this season.
Li Liang stood on the free throw line and took the ball from the referee. Then he did not look at the basket, but turned to stare at Spurs coach Popovich standing on the sidelines.
Free throw shot.
Li Liang tilted his head and threw the ball out!
Swish!
Hit.
Li Liang spread his hands to Popovich, then took the ball from the referee, slapped it twice, then turned his head to look at Popovich
Popovich was speechless. Why did this guy just look at me if he didn't look at the free throws?
Li Liang just wanted to stare at Popovich, and then he didn't have his hands idle, so he easily made a free throw and hit another free throw!
During the four years of college, Li Liang practiced the most free throws.
With his invincible mentality, it is the same for him whether he looks at the basket or turns his head!
He just wanted to tell Popovich that you can do your tricks on me. I am not Jordan Jordan, and I can get the ball in without looking at the basket!
Li Liang's free throws were not seen, but Popovich was shocked, and the Spurs players were also shocked.
Subsequently, Mills missed a three-pointer from the outside, while the Spurs did not use the tactic of killing Jordan Jr. in the Clippers' last attack.
Rivers replaced Odom and replaced Li Liang.
