Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

After taking down the Nets with difficulty, the Clippers ushered in a four-game winning streak.

Mike Brown's lineup adjustments and changes have had an effect, but the game against the Nets proved that if you don't have attitude and focus on defense, everything else is useless.

On November 18, the Clippers ushered in a hard bone at home, the Memphis Grizzlies.

Under the general trend of the league as a whole being faster and more outside, the Grizzlies are the team that is going against the trend.

They mainly focus on the inside and defense, and their three-pointers ranked last in the league last season.

Of course, the Grizzlies don't want to shoot three-pointers so badly.

If they maintain the current level of defense, the three-pointers can be improved, and the overall strength will definitely be improved to another level.

So in the summer, the Grizzlies signed Mike Miller in the free market to strengthen the team's three-point ability.

If Miller can integrate well with the Grizzlies, it will be a great boost to the Grizzlies.

But judging from the record of the Grizzlies after the start of the season, Mike Miller could hit a three-pointer, but it didn't have a decisive impact.

The Grizzlies have fewer three-pointers and a low shooting rate. In fact, it is not a problem of player ability, but more of a tactical style.

It's no wonder that their team style of grinding ground, slow pace, and emphasizing confrontation can make three-pointers more accurate.

Players need to feel and rhythm when shooting. The defensive end fights desperately, but the offensive end is slow, and the shooting percentage will definitely drop.

Still, that's the Grizzly style, old-school '90s.

To be honest, the Grizzlies also made an offer to Li Liang during the offseason.

If the Grizzlies can get Li Liang, then they are really going to take off.

It's a pity that Li Liang is in the Clippers, and there is a lot of grievances between the Clippers and the Grizzlies.

Regardless of whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, as long as the two teams meet, the inside double bears VS twin towers are always the most eye-catching topic.

The Clippers' double insiders are young and full of talent. They can run and jump well, fly and dunk well, and their style of play is very popular. They belong to the idol group.

The two insiders of the Grizzlies are both floor players. One is a big white bear and the other is a big black bear. They are fat and strong, and they are obviously powerful.

In an idol party, the powerful faction is often the dominant faction.

In the past few seasons, Griffin and Jordan were taught a lot by the Bears.

But this season seems to be a little different.

Griffin's offense has improved significantly this season.

If Li Liang is not too dazzling, Griffin should be the darling of Los Angeles.

Even so, Griffin can output steadily in the game.

After being asked by the coach to lead the second team, Griffin's offensive core ability was highlighted and he completed the offensive task very well.

As for defense...that's it, no one is perfect.

For this role change, Griffin, who is more honest, has no complaints.

He wanted to complain, but he couldn't beat Li Liang, scold... Forget it, Paul couldn't even scold him, so forget about it.

And Li Liang is really very focused and full of competitiveness on the court.

Originally, one Paul was enough to win, but with the addition of Li Liang, even Griffin became more and more infected.

Before the start of the Grizzlies game, Li Liang kept stressing to Griffin in the locker room, "Damn Randolph!"

"Don't be afraid, I'll cover you from behind, kill him!"

"Randolph is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you do this, if you do this, if you do this again, he will have nothing to do with you."

Griffin was at a loss, he thought it was just playing, why did he kill Randolph?

Besides, what can Randolph do? How about you go?

When Li Liang was with the Lakers last season, he played against Randolph.

This black fat man has top-notch inside skills, and is strong and fat. He is an iron weight under the basket.

Before the Clippers played against the Grizzlies, it was Jordan who defended Randolph.

As a result, Jordan was tall and tall, but he was beaten to the ground by Randolph, who had excellent footwork and delicate touch.

In this game, Rivers said bluntly when preparing for the game that he wanted Griffin to face Randolph.

This is a head-to-head duel between two power forwards, and it is a dialogue of strength between the insiders.

But before going on stage, Rivers pulled Li Liang aside and said, "Can you handle Randolph?"

Rivers is taking double insurance, because Griffin will have to rest in the middle of the game. If Li Liang doesn't want to face Randolph, Rivers will consider switching to an inside line.

Li Liang glanced at Rivers, do you not believe in my strength?

I, Tim Duncan, Webb, Cowens, Wharton and others have all done it. I will be afraid of a black fat man?

"If I can't handle Randolph, I'm going to get EJ Johnson."

Rivers nodded in satisfaction, Li Liang is very confident in himself, and Rivers is also very confident in EJ's power.

The players came on, and Rivers sat back on the bench.

Brown and Rivers said: "Bruce can definitely deal with Randolph."

Rivers nodded, "I know, I'll stimulate him."

Rivers can not only pour chicken soup, but also aggressive methods. Rivers is better than Brown in comforting and inspiring players.

For Randolph, Rivers will indeed worry, he is the real core of the Grizzlies' offense.

As long as Randolph plays poorly, it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to win.

...

Rivers' concerns are not unreasonable.

It is really surprising that Randolph, a magical fat man, can achieve today's achievements.

Before coming to the Grizzlies, he was a problem player.

From being a member of the Portland Jailblazer (Portland Prison Trail Blazers) to the death of the Knicks, the news related to Randolph is always mostly negative.

Letting young players pass him the ball on the team, yelling at him when he didn't pass the ball, missing practice in New York, being late, overweight, lying about attending a funeral and going to a bar.

In the end, he left New York and went to the Grizzlies, one of the youngest and least historical teams in the NBA.

As a result, he was reborn in Memphis.

This has to be said to be a miracle of life.

His negative news has disappeared, he is conscientious on the court, and he sticks to the low post style of play that is rare in the league.

Under his leadership, the Grizzlies have become one of the most difficult teams in the West.

At the beginning of this game, neither the Clippers nor the Grizzlies' offense felt good.

For two full minutes, neither side scored.

The first person to break the deadlock is Randolph.

He received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, faced the basket against Griffin, and after a tentative step, he suddenly made a mid-range jumper.

Two points hit.

Although Randolph looks big and thick, he has an extremely delicate touch.

The shot is very smooth, the arc is also high, and the two points are scored very steadily.

Then, Li Liang missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the Grizzlies counterattacked.

The Grizzlies' counterattack was really like a tractor, and the fast break was basically impossible, and they still fell into position in the end.

Randolph asked for the ball in the low post, and Gasol Jr. passed the ball to Randolph in the high post.

Randolph turned around, pouted his butt and pushed Griffin away. He made a layup under the basket and caused a defensive foul by Griffin.

With an additional penalty hit, the Grizzlies lead the Clippers 5:0.

Li Liang stepped forward to Griffin and said, "Can you do it? If you can't, I'll guard against it?"

Rivers stimulated Li Liang, and Li Liang came to stimulate Griffin.

Griffin didn't speak, turned around and received Li Liang's high pass on the offensive end, turned around and ran over Randolph to the basket, and made a layup with his left hand!

The referee blew his whistle, which also resulted in a foul by Randolph.

Griffin returned one to Randolph and made a free throw from the free throw line.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score between the two sides was only 10:6, and the Grizzlies led the Clippers by 4 points.

The Grizzlies' defense is indeed different from other teams. The rotation speed is very fast, the players hardly lose their positions, and the defense is extremely fast, which does not give the Clippers any chance for a quick counterattack.

Quick counterattacks are a lifeline for the Clippers' offense. Without quick counterattacks, their offensive firepower will drop a lot.

Li Liang has not scored.

He was facing Tyshawn Prince, and Tony Allen was helping to defend him.

Prince + Allen teamed up to deal with Li Liang. This is really the highest defensive treatment that the Grizzlies can give.

Li Liang had almost no chance to make a move, and there were two people nearby as soon as he got the ball.

There is no open three-pointer. Prince would rather watch Paul go straight to the inside than let Li Liang go to help defend.

Especially when Li Liang sank into the corner, Prince never let up.

The former Pistons veteran, who won the Pistons championship in 2004, has a super long wingspan and excellent defensive awareness.

Although he is old, he still plays an important role in the Grizzlies' defensive system.

For a while, Li Hao seemed to be really "guarded" by him.

But when Griffin was off the court and Li Liang came to the fourth position, everything was a little different.

The Clippers have actually become a lineup with one big and four small on the offensive end and a normal matchup on the defensive end.

This is exactly the scary thing about two things, three things, four things.

The defensive end is normal and the offensive end is flexible. What do you ask your opponent to do?

After a high pick-and-roll, Li Liang first hit the ground and passed the ball to the inside to give Jordan a dunk.

Then the defensive end defended Randolph one-on-one, and a stool came, causing Randolph to walk!

Randolph cursed after walking, this opponent is too treacherous.

Wasn't Griffin fine just now, and he changed this product to defend against it.

Li Liang's low-post defense is not top-notch, but it is compared to the best low-post defense players in history.

At any rate, he has fought against many insiders in various missions, and he has quite a lot of experience. How could he be afraid of Randolph.

Now, low-post offense and defense are about to become the art of slaying dragons, but Li Liang has mastered them quite well.

Mike Brown doesn't even know how Li Liang learned it, and did I let him practice it?

Probably yes.

However, Li Liang's offense was still restrained. His three-point shooting sense was not developed today, and he still used supporting passing and defense to affect the game.

The two sides played very entangled in the first quarter.

In the seventh minute of the game, the Clippers were still three points behind the Grizzlies.

Paul stood up and started to attack with the ball by himself. He used the screen to get inside, and then made a fake pass to Li Liang on the wing.

Tony Allen, who came to help defend, was tricked by Paul's realistic fake moves and rushed towards Li Liang.

As a result, Paul went straight to kill, Tony Allen raised his leg subconsciously, and gave Paul a jio in the face!

This kick was hard enough. Fortunately, Paul had braces, otherwise he might have kicked his teeth out.

Tony Allen paid the price for his shadowless kick, and was sent off for a direct second-degree malicious foul.

The Grizzlies lack a very important defensive point on the perimeter, and they are going to be in trouble.

And when Li Liang saw Teacher Tony off the field, the team's offense should be able to play better.
