Chapter 415: Changing the Style of Play

Mike Brown really wants to play some tricks on the Clippers' defense, but this is the first game after the adjustment, and he can't play big tricks.

The team conducted an adjusted defensive training yesterday. With the support of Mike Brown, Rivers naturally took Butler from the starting position.

Because it was Barnes who replaced Butler, they were about the same in terms of seniority, and their personalities were similar, so there was no big problem.

After putting Barnes in the starting shooting guard position, the Clippers' starting defensive height has been strengthened, and their autonomous offensive ability has been slightly weaker.

But in fact, after Li Liang has the ability to hold the ball, Butler's offensive ability with the ball is relatively redundant.

When he was in the Lone Ranger, Butler was still the team's third scoring point, second only to Nowitzki and Terry, and almost equal to Terry.

As a result, Butler was missing and the defensive Stevenson was replaced. Instead, the Lone Ranger became more and more courageous and won the championship all the way.

It's not because of Butler's cancer. If Butler is not reimbursed, the Lone Ranger's road to championship will definitely be a little smoother.

It's because, in a stable starting lineup, too many ball holding points will overlap and consume each other, because there is only one ball.

Brown suggested putting Barnes in the starting lineup, not only for defensive considerations, but also for offensive considerations.

Paul, Li Liang and Griffin already have three possessions to digest the ball, and it would be a waste to add Butler.

It's better to put him on the bench, come off the bench, and add firepower to the second team.

Brown thinks very well, how he plays depends on the effect of the game.

Because Barnes's outside three-pointer, if you want to say that there is, there is, but it is really not effective at critical moments.

When Barnes entered the NBA in his early years, he didn't have three-pointers. He was purely acquired, not a talented player like Li Liang.

A big problem with pitchers who have been trained hard is that they are not very reliable at critical moments because they rely too much on muscle memory and rhythm.

In the sport of basketball, if you fight until the end, when the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, the sky and the earth are all together, and the talent is what you fight for.

However, there is absolutely no problem with Barnes in the regular season.

It's just that Barnes is 33 years old this year and has been playing small forward. How to face young guards at the shooting guard position will be a problem.

Jeff Van Gundy expressed some doubts in this regard while the game has not yet started, but he believes that the overall second position of the entire league is currently declining, and perhaps there is no need to worry too much.

At this time, the game started, Jordan won the ball, and the Clippers took the lead in attacking.

Perkins will miss the start of the season for about a month because of a hip injury, replaced by rookie Adams.

The head coach would rather use rookie Adams than the second pick of the year in the starting lineup. Thabeet, who is known as "Mutombo's second", is enough to show that Thabeet's ability is really not good.

The Grizzlies chose him with the second place in the first place... It's a normal operation.

For the first ball in the opening game, Li Liang used the screen to catch the ball and missed a jumper.

But Adams rebounded and fouled, and then the Clippers played a beautiful high-low combination.

Griffin catches and hits the ball from a high position and passes it to Jordan, who dunks under the basket.

It can be seen that the New Zealand boy is still very young, and made two mistakes in a row in the first attack at the beginning of the game.

But he was born in 1993 is still very young, just 20 years old this year.

On the offensive end of the Thunder, Westbrook also tried to shoot a low catch, but missed.

Griffin got the backcourt rebound.

Then Adams continued to pay tuition.

After Griffin and Paul picked and rolled, Griffin cut inside to catch the ball and missed a throw after a feint.

Adams grabbed a rebound from the backcourt, but was pulled out by Li Liang from behind—where did this guy come from?

When Li Liang was about to go out of bounds, he threw the ball towards Adams!

Li Liang just threw the ball casually, trying to throw the ball out of bounds, but the ball accidentally hit Adams' crotch...

The ball bounced out of bounds, but Adams also became a crotch-covering disciple with a painful expression on his face.

The ball still belongs to the Clippers, Li Liang hurriedly stepped forward and patted Adams to express his apology.

Although Li Liang is good at stealing and playing tricks, he has basically no dirty moves.

Even if he played games in the 1960s and 1970s in the mission, and the opponent's movements were so brutal, Li Liang only defeated the opponent with basketball, not the same as the opponent.

In Li Liang's view, being dirty can make you a winner. There are not no players in NBA history who rely on dirty to help their teams win championships.

But dirty can't make you a king, and a real king will never use dirty tricks.

There are also some reasons why Malone and Stockton could not win the championship.

Chris Paul has always had a "dirty" evaluation, and Li Liang hopes to correct his tricky approach.

Adams recovered, and the lad said nothing.

The Clippers made a sideline kick, and they played a very clever match.

Li Liang holds the ball in a high position, Griffin makes a false pick-and-roll and rolls down, Li Liang breaks through the middle and hits the ground to pass the ball to Griffin.

The moment Griffin caught the ball, he didn't stay long, and directly threw a high toss to the inside. Jordan caught the ball and dunked with one hand!

This cooperation was so smooth and flawless that Staples cheered.

Li Liang, Jordan and Griffin clapped hands, and the tacit understanding between them was increasing.

Adams still missed Jordan on this ball.

4:0.

The Thunder need to score.

Westbrook stood up, and when there were three vacancies on the outside, he held the ball and rushed to the basket. He avoided the block with a beautiful loop and layup with a low hand!

not in...

The Clippers counterattacked with a rebound, Paul quickly crossed halftime with the ball, and the Thunder were forced to switch defenses.

Adams faced Paul again, but was accelerated by Paul. The basket was empty, and Paul made an easy layup with his right hand.

Young people, really young people, Adams was beaten three times in a row at the beginning.

All three conceded goals are directly related to him. Welcome to the NBA.

Brooks didn't call a timeout, but the offense didn't make any progress. Li Liang scored a three-pointer in the counterattack, 9:0, and finally he was willing to call a timeout.

NBA coaches are like this. They don't cry when they see the coffin. They have to be beaten until they can't get up before it's called a timeout.

In this regard, Popovich is much better. One round feels bad, and he pauses for you to see in the opening 30 seconds, and then starts to scold.

With a 9:0 opening, the Clippers' momentum is very good, as if they have returned to the first few games of the season.

But if the Thunder can be easily defeated in one quarter like the Lakers, they are not the Thunder.

After returning from the timeout, the Thunder counterattacked.

It was still Westbrook's breakthrough, but this time he knew to pass the ball after the breakthrough.

After attracting two people to defend, a through pass was given to Ibaka under the basket, and Ibaka dunked successfully!

Then, Li Liang responded from a high position and lobbed the ball to Griffin.

Griffin turned around and went to the basket to catch the ball, but the layup was blocked by Ibaka.

The Thunder counterattacked, and Durant held the ball forcefully and caused a foul by Li Liang.

Facing Li Liang, Durant felt angry.

In the Western Conference Finals last season, their championship dream was abruptly disrupted by Li Liang and the Lakers.

Originally thinking about revenge in the new season, who knew that Li Liang ran away!

Don't be kind... In fact, Li Liang is still in Los Angeles, but with a different team.

Durant stepped to the free throw line and made the first free throw.

Li Liang babbled to Durant from the side, saying "drink the bath water" could no longer disturb Durant at this time.

He is no longer that fledgling kid who is so easily influenced.

"You can't win the championship in the Thunder! Why don't you join us! Or follow me and guarantee a championship! 100%!"

With a bang, Durant missed the second free throw...

Durant's free throw percentage is very high, but he didn't expect to say it casually and he didn't make it.

The Thunder team, judging from their operations in two consecutive summers, did not want to win the championship at all.

This free throw missed, Li Liang followed closely on the offensive end, catching the ball on the left side in the first quarter and making a three-pointer.

Two three-pointers at the start, this is what the Clippers players would like to see Li Liang.

12:3, the point difference is still 9 points.

Afterwards, Durant threw off Li Liang with a beautiful running fake on the offensive end, cut into the middle from the wing, then received a pass from Westbrook, avoided Jordan's defense, twisted his body and hit a throw.

The posture is really ugly, but the hand feel is really good.

Li Liang really didn't follow the ball. Durant's empty-handed running position is absolutely historical. He has a superhuman sense of smell on the offensive end, which is not possessed by ordinary players.

If you want to stare at him on the defensive end, you have to concentrate on it and never relax for a moment.

The rhythm of both sides began to pick up.

As soon as Durant scored a goal, Li Liang quickly served in the backcourt, Paul counterattacked, and Griffin had already crossed the half court to the three-point line.

Paul made a lob pass, Griffin tried to stretch his short hands, will catch the ball, and then made a layup with a spinning top.

Durant has tried his best to catch up with the ball, but he is not as fast as the ball after all.

After that, Sefolosha fouled Barnes during the offense and made two free throws.

Li Liang immediately made a fake move away from Westbrook in the high position, and made another three-pointer!

How could the Thunder allow Westbrook to defend Li Liang?

Because the Clippers attacked too fast, the Thunder players had no time to find their opponents, and they were misplaced.

Westbrook obviously has no experience in defending Li Liang, so he tried to block the shot?

False actions and three-pointers teach life.

Li Liang made three three-pointers in the first quarter, a routine operation.

However, the Thunder's counterattack came quickly. Sefolosha passed the ball to Westbrook, and Westbrook accelerated like a hot wheel and passed Paul, reaching the basket and making a layup.

If the two sides compete for speed, the Thunder will not be afraid of the Clippers.

But so far, Brown has used Barnes to start, but it has not shown any effect.

Because the two sides have not fallen into the position and defended well, they have been fighting for fast breaks, speed, and shooting touch of star players.

When the first quarter was halfway through, the two sides scored 19:11, and the Clippers still led by 8 points.

At this time, Griffin was replaced by Rivers and replaced by Crawford.

Griffin still looked a little numb, and he was on the rise, so why did he replace him.

"Griffin was replaced in the middle of the first quarter and rested. It seems that Brown brought more than just starting changes to the Clippers."

The Van Gundy Jr. team is increasingly interested in a change in the Clippers' style of play.
