Chapter 295: A Coach Who Doesn't Know How to Adjust

Do the math, since the summer league, Li Liang's long-distance three-point throws have become his repertoire.

Before him, Li Liang, he could only meet one of these balls in many games, and they were all luck balls.

Such a choice is often made only as a last resort and when time is running out.

Li Liang is different. He trades distance for space. The farther he shoots, the more relaxed he is, and his hit rate is higher.

What a wonder.

This emergency stop after halftime and a three-point rebound shot directly fooled the Clippers.

In the playoffs, are you still a person when you score this kind of three-pointer?

However, Li Liang has been inactive on the court for a long time.

Pause to rest off the court, Mike Brown has no doubts about Li Liang's willful throwing.

It's good to go in. If you can throw the ball in from the backcourt, Mike Brown will definitely arrange a tactic for Li Liang.

Create a personal wall for him in the backcourt, and then allow Li Liang to throw the ball comfortably.

This ball had a great blow to the morale of the Clippers. After returning from the timeout, the Clippers players were obviously a little out of breath.

A truly strong team, no matter what kind of predicament they face or what kind of miraculous performance the opponent plays, can control their emotions and strive for victory with all their strength.

And a hypocritical strong team, seeing the opponent playing hype and scoring a few magical goals, first doubted himself, and then plummeted.

The previous examples, like the Knicks in 1970, were tied by West's ultra-long three-pointer, but they were still able to bite the bullet and win the game.

The latter example is the Lakers. After being reversed by the Celtics in 2008, they became unable to play and doubted life.

The current Clippers are like this, and they were suspicious of the ball by Li Liang's one-shot operation.

Back on the court, the Clippers players were obviously a little dazed, including Chris Paul himself.

How did you play this ball? You obviously tried your best to fight, why did it become like this?

Since the first Los Angeles Derby in the regular season, the Clippers have been trying to compete with the Lakers.

But every time I hit it, I found that I couldn't beat it.

Obviously the lineup doesn't look bad. Although the Lakers have more famous stars, they are all older.

The core players of the Clippers are all young and strong, and the substitutes beat the Lakers completely, but they just couldn't beat them.

If Li Liang knew the distress in the hearts of the Clippers players, coaches and fans, he would definitely tell them the answer mercifully: You are missing me!

In the current NBA, you don't have a good striker and you want to keep winning in the playoffs? It's just a dream.

There is no suspense for the next game.

The Clippers tried to struggle, but it was undoubtedly in vain.

The seasoned Lakers took control of the situation on the court, dragging the rhythm very slowly, and did not speed up the Clippers to chase points.

Kobe has entered the state of "the team leads, I start scoring points" again, and the horn position hits consecutive jump shots.

Of course Paul didn't give up, he did it himself on the outside, hit consecutive three-pointers, and once narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

But Paul's biggest flaw was exposed at this time. After making consecutive shots, his firepower could not continue.

Although he is an excellent scorer, he is not a historical player like Kobe and James who can score 15 and 20 points in a row when others don't work.

He's a point guard, he still needs to pass the ball, to organize.

The height of 183 limits him. When Kobe and Li Liang surround Paul, Paul can only pass the ball.

And the teammate didn't hit the damn three-pointer.

This should be replaced by Kobe, let alone two people, he can throw the ball with five people surrounded.

The fourth quarter ended in a back and forth between the two sides. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Clippers in the first game with an 8-point advantage at 98:90.

The Lakers, who came to the playoffs, suddenly gave people the feeling that they had finished running in, faintly revealing the appearance of a champion.

After the game, on the forums and on Twitter, there were posts and remarks that praised the Lakers, Li Liang, and Kobe.

One must be trustworthy in life, and say "Fo, Fo" to "Fo, Fo".

What tells you who the real King of Los Angeles is.

For these remarks, Li Liang didn't read them at all, so he wouldn't browse the forum after the game, or even open a trumpet to chat with people.

After taking a shower and refusing to be interviewed by the reporters, Li Liang left Staples and went home.

In Li Liang's view, it's okay to talk before the game, it's part of the game, psychological warfare.

It's boring to make trouble after the game. The game is over, and we should focus on the next game.

As long as Negro is not an idiot, the Clippers will definitely make adjustments to target the Lakers and Li Liang.

Even McHale will make targeted adjustments.

However, Li Liang still thinks highly of certain NBA coaches.

After a day's rest, on May 10, the Clippers and the Lakers had a rematch.

After a crisp defeat in the previous game, Negro did not make adjustments to the starting lineup, and still let Billups start.

As soon as Li Liang saw the Clippers' starting lineup, he laughed in his heart.

Playing the Rockets in the first round, McHale also knew that the starting lineup would be changed in the second game, allowing Beverly to replace Smith, who had no effect.

And Negro seems to trust Billups very much. After all, this is the MVP of the 2004 Finals and has rich experience in the playoffs.

However, Billups is 36 years old. Although the Lakers Nash is 38 years old, Nash is in good condition.

After taking the bruise medicine given by Li Liang, he was no longer troubled by injuries throughout the season.

Played the rest of the game, saved energy for the playoffs, and began to show the demeanor of a veteran.

Billups can't do it. He missed most of the games due to injury in the Clippers last season and only played 22 games in the regular season.

This season was even worse. He only played 20 games due to injury, and his scoring average dropped from 15 points to 8 points per game.

If Negro goes to Barnes, Li Liang thinks the Clippers can still save him.

Anyway, Barnes was really tough.

If Billups was 5 years younger, the Lakers would be in big trouble in the backcourt, but injuries have made the veteran's prestige no longer.

Negro paid for his employment.

In the first quarter of the second game, the Lakers beat the Clippers 35:23.

The Lakers are in full bloom. Li Liang, Kobe, Ci Shiping, Howard, and Nash all scored.

Their offensive position was completely opened up in the playoffs, and the Clippers' defense was full of loopholes.

Throughout the season, the Clippers have not trained a decent defensive system.

Because one of the problems the Clippers face is that the toughest defensive player on the team is their 183 point guard...

Point guard is the position with the lowest input-output ratio in defense. Even if Gary Payton comes, he can't support a team's defense.

And the Lakers' outside shooting ability is so strong, how could the Clippers' leaky defense line put pressure on the Lakers?

Everyone is still looking forward to the second game where the Clippers can fight back at Staples, but after the first half, the Clippers are more than ten points behind.

"The Clippers' defense didn't put any pressure on the Lakers. Didn't they make any adjustments? Billups' performance was disaster-level."

The commentator couldn't stand it any longer. This is such a good Los Angeles Derby. The fight wasn't intense at all.

Billups made 0 of 4 outside shots in the first half, and several of them were unguarded open shots, and none of them made the shots.

It can only be said that I am really old, my legs can't exert force, and the balls I throw are always short.

During the intermission, Negro lost his temper with the players in the locker room. He felt that the players did not try their best to defend on the court and gave the Lakers too many outside shots.

The Clippers players were silent. This is not the first time Negro has lost his temper in the locker room this season.

As long as the team loses, Negro will be furious.

But this is the NBA, not a college, and the players don't feel guilty and scared because you lose your temper, and then go play well.

They just think the coach is incompetent.

In the third quarter, the Clippers were another play where Paul took the lead in catching up. They scored a few points in a row and then began to pass the ball.

For the Lakers, Nash voted one, Li Liang voted one, and Kobe voted countless.

Seeing that Negro had run out of moves, he started to expand the rotation again.

In this game, he expanded the rotation to 12 points. Anyone with good legs and feet on the bench was sent to do two laps.

Sima is working as a live horse doctor, so he might not know when it broke out?

This kind of mentality is almost similar to that of some fans. Seeing that a certain player is not playing well, they shout "Why don't you play XXX?"

When the coach really went to XXX, I found that it was not as good as the original one.

Negro's employment is almost like an ordinary fan.

There is no doubt that he has lost enough control over the players under him.

Although the players are still doing their best on the field, there is no tacit understanding and trust between each other.

The TV station has begun to show all living beings to the Clippers bench.

Look at those faces, they used to be amazing people, Billups, Grant Hill, Odom, Butler, Turiaf.

But in the Clippers, it didn't play its due role.

At 113:101, the Lakers finally made another victory at home, leading the Clippers 2:0.

And the next game, the Clippers' home court, will still be played at Staples!

This is fatal. The saying that home games are like away games and away games in crematoriums will be perfectly fulfilled by the Clippers.
