Chapter 442 Not Too Smart
Of course, the Nets are not so easy to fall.
The Clippers entered the rotation time ahead of schedule.
According to Mike Brown's rotation arrangement, Griffin will rest at this time and replace Crawford, or an insider, let Li Liang go to the fourth position.
In this way, Li Liang's power on offense and defense can be maximized.
But in this game, the Clippers need to attack, counterattack quickly, and chase points.
Therefore, Rivers did not replace Griffin, but replaced the mediocre Willie Green.
Except for a mid-range two-pointer in the opening game, Green didn't perform much on the offensive end.
None of the three-pointers were made, not to mention the defensive end, neither Johnson nor Pierce could match up.
The Clippers needed to score now, so Rivers brought in Bledsoe instead of Crawford.
Bledsoe is still better than Crawford on the defensive end, and has a stronger impact.
The Clippers need impact to break through the solid tactical system of the Nets.
The familiar backcourt is dead and short. With Li Liang, there is no need to worry about defense.
Attack first!
After Bledsoe came on the field, the two sides launched a confrontation for more than two minutes.
The Nets first caught the ball and made a layup with Blatche, and then the Clippers quickly counterattacked. Li Liang handed the ball to Bledsoe. Bledsoe passed Johnson with his speed and succeeded in a difficult layup.
Bledsoe has a knack for sharp knives.
The scores on both sides climbed all the way until 62:68, and the Clippers were still 6 points behind.
Kidd was replaced by Paul Pierce at this time, and the confrontation between the two sides entered an extremely fierce stage.
The Clippers' defensive intensity is getting bigger and bigger, and the referee's scale is also getting looser.
The higher the intensity, the more it can inspire Li Liang's fighting spirit.
He spared no effort in defense, and sent consecutive assists in offense.
Li Liang has sent 6 assists in the third quarter.
And the Nets no matter how Li Liang sends assists, the defensive strategy is to stick to it!
The Nets are right to do this, and in the offense, the veterans of the Nets are really experienced. Every time the Clippers are about to start and play a quick counterattack, Williams, Joe Johnson and Pierce can use personal Attack and pass to the Clippers to hit.
The point difference has always been maintained at around 5 points. The Clippers want to get one step closer, but they just can't get past it.
Kidd off the court knows that as long as Li Liang's three-pointer cannot be opened, the Nets will be able to hold on to this advantage.
Once Li Liang scored three points, the five or six points were two or three rounds.
And Li Liang played extremely patiently, he did not easily use props to chase points.
He knows that once the props are used and the three-pointer is missed, the Nets will be given a chance to widen the point difference, and the subsequent games will be even more difficult to play.
The momentum of the game is not on the side of the Clippers, and it is necessary to reverse this momentum.
The Nets are in very good shape tonight, just like the Lakers last season.
In the long run, there will definitely be ups and downs throughout the season or the playoffs.
But at the beginning of the season, in a certain period of time, or in a certain game, you will play at a very high level.
Because former superstars are completely different from ordinary players in their understanding and reading of the game.
The Lakers were lucky to continue this level for a season last year.
As for how the Nets are doing this year, Li Liang doesn't care, he just wants to beat them in this game.
In an attack by the Nets, Li Liang marked Pierce on the outside, and Pierce has been guarded to the limit.
Pierce nearly missed the jump pass, but he took it down, then threw a tricky pass into the lane in the final three seconds of the 24-second shot.
Lopez received the ball, and the Clippers defense misplaced, and Paul faced Lopez.
No way, Paul can only foul.
The Nets are making full use of the players' personal abilities on the offensive end today, constantly creating dislocations on the court to attack the weaknesses in the Clippers' defense.
Even if Li Liang is the best tinker in the world, he can't make up for it completely.
Besides, the best tinkerer ever is still with the Nets.
Lopez made two free throws, and the Nets once again opened the point difference to 8 points.
But the Clippers' counterattack came quickly.
Paul first passed halftime quickly, then he broke through to the basket with the ball and missed a throw in the face of Lopez.
Li Liang followed up a little bit, made a tip-up and scored two points.
Then Williams wanted to use a crossover to deal with Paul. Li Liang stepped forward to interfere. Williams passed the ball to Pierce, and Li Liang defended back.
Pierce received the ball and broke through, but his pace was still a bit slow. He tried to make a foul at the basket but failed, and instead got a cap.
Li Liang seized the opportunity to counterattack with the ball and dribble, and there were still 4 minutes before the end of the third quarter.
Li Liang equipped himself with a [Gravity Wooden Fish]!
The wooden fish has been knocked and chanted by Li Liang every day, and the duration has increased to 4 minutes.
Li Liang should make good use of these four minutes and strive to even out the point difference before the end of the third quarter!
At this time, Garnett, who was rested due to foul problems at the beginning of the third quarter, has reappeared.
Seeing Li Liang push the fast break, Garnett of course has to go up to help defend.
It doesn't feel right to defend together, why does it seem that several people are coming to defend?
three people?
Is this against Kobe?
This is not Kobe.
As a result, Li Liang dribbled the ball to the right corner, followed by a large-scale transfer of the ball to the left corner. Bledsoe caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!
With an 8-point goal, he caught up to 3 points all at once.
In the next two rounds, neither side scored.
The Nets made two fouls at the basket, but neither earned free throws.
On the Clippers side, Li Liang passed the ball to Crawford for a layup, causing Blatche to foul.
As a result, Crawford missed two free throws very rarely, and Li Liang's pass was considered useless.
And Kidd felt a little strange off the court, my sister arranged three people to double-team Li Liang?
Although Li Liang's shooting is better than Kidd's, he is not a three-man team, and he is not Kobe.
Besides, Kobe double-teamed him and didn't pass, you will get caught.
Li Liang can pass the ball when he pinches, how can he give him such a good chance to pass the ball?
As a top point guard, Kidd certainly doesn't understand the power of gravitational wooden fish.
When he was a point guard, he was originally a person with no gravity, relying solely on the first pass and organization and scheduling to help his teammates.
In the end, it was Joe Johnson who came out of the Nets website. He caught the ball at 45 degrees on the right and hit a three-pointer again, breaking the deadlock on the field.
The score was rewritten to 69:75, still a gap of 6 points.
Li Liang is a little anxious, my pretty mother is Gan Liliang, I am fed to my mouth, and I can still miss the free throw.
But Li Liang calmed down, and continued to use the power of the gravitational wooden fish to seduce the Nets' defense, and then cooperated with [One shot into the soul] to assist Jordan to dunk.
After that, Blatche played with Jordan on the offensive end, evading the defense after shaking continuously, and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.
"Don't eat fake moves, don't eat fake moves!"
Li Liang saw that little Qiaodan was being played around by Blatche, and he thought to himself, why can't you control your legs and you are going to jump?
Brac is one step away from the three-point line. You let him shoot how he likes to shoot. What are you doing jumping?
This is Brac, if Harden comes, you will get a foul.
Are you at a loss?
Li Liang is really speechless to these teammates around him sometimes, and he is really not smart in playing.
In the playoffs, it is estimated that they will suffer a lot.
At this time, Garnett also began to realize that there seemed to be some problems with Li Liang's defensive strategy, and he began to direct the team's defense loudly.
Seeing this, Li Liang seized the opportunity and used Jordan's pick-and-roll from the outside line to shoot a three-pointer directly, and made a three-pointer with a knife in his hand!
underestimate me? Don't want a three-team? I'll show it to you.
Li Liang suddenly set off an offensive climax at the last minute.
After making a three-pointer, he directly steals Williams with a one-on-one dislocation defense, and then counterattacks and dunks!
Catch up to three points again.
The Nets and Clippers have the last offense and defense.
Paul Pierce has the ball and time.
After pressing for a long time, Li Liang rushed up and made a close defense to kill the ball!
In the end, he could only pass the ball to Brac, and Brac carried Jordan and rushed in.
This time Jordan learned to be smart and didn't take off easily.
Blatche forced an emergency stop jump shot and missed.
Paul scored a rebound from the backcourt and the Clippers made their last attack in the third quarter.
Still trailing by three points.
Paul handed the ball to Li Liang.
The final period of the third quarter was obviously Li Liang's moment.
Li Liang looked up at the time, there are still 9 seconds, 8 seconds... 5 seconds...
Li Liang chose to break through the middle after the pick-and-roll!
He still attracted multiple double-teams from the Nets, and then passed the ball to Chris Paul.
Paul, this is his most trusted teammate for the Clippers.
Paul caught the ball from the wing and made a three-pointer, hit!
At the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied!
...
"Their defense is very good, we have to play tougher, smarter, smarter!"
On the Clippers' bench before the start of the fourth quarter, Li Liang kept emphasizing with his teammates, "Play smarter."
Li Liang played the entire third quarter and evened the score in the entire quarter.
The Nets did play very well tonight, especially defensively, while the Clippers happened to be in poor form.
At the same time, Li Liang felt that the Clippers players were really not smart enough to play.
The talents are all very good, but Griffin is reckless, Jordan is dumbfounded, and Crawford is straight.
The rest are either mediocre or inexperienced, and there is no old-fashioned player among the veterans.
There is only one Paul, smart is smart, but too smart.
If Paul can share some of his smartness with other teammates, and if Griffin and Jordan can give some of their own recklessness and stupidity to Paul, the team will be relatively average in terms of IQ and personality, and there will be no big ups and downs.
The rest time came soon, and Rivers hadn't bothered to talk yet, and Li Liang said all the words.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang sat off the court to rest.
In the third quarter, he hit 3 three-pointers, scored 13 points and 7 assists. Almost all the Clippers' goals were related to him.
Tyronn Lu said to Li Liang: "Bruce, your organization level is getting higher and higher. This wave of adjustments is very good."
Li Liang nodded and said thank you. One of the characteristics of Tyronn Lue as an assistant coach is that he is good at encouraging players.
One thing Li Liang was not used to when he first arrived in the United States was that Americans always boasted in person, and it was more exaggerated.
Unlike the Chinese who are more reserved, even some elders and teachers never praise children and students.
The reason is that they are afraid of their pride.
When he arrived in the United States, Li Liang gradually got used to it.
What's wrong with my pride? Shouldn't excellent people be proud of doing excellent things?
The game on the court has begun, and the Nets launched an offense.
At this time, Griffin fell to the ground on the inside.
The referee blew his whistle and called Plumlee a foul on an offensive position.
Li Liang looked good, a child can be taught, and Griffin is still very good at learning, so he is the number one scholar.
