Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems
Chapter 440 Reciprocity
Li Liang's feeling is not groundless. Although the Clippers played against the Nets at the beginning of the game and the Nets' offense was bad enough, the Nets as a whole were not in chaos.
Kidd insisted not to call a timeout because he believed in the adjustment ability of the veterans on the field.
When Pierce and Blatche played, the Nets' offense improved significantly.
In the case of the dominant situation, the Clippers' signature quick counterattack, the stormy basket attack and the three-pointer did not hit.
The consecutive away games are exhausting after all, and the Clippers' lead depends on the good touch at the beginning.
Things like hand feeling are very unreliable.
Good touches are contagious, and bad touches can come out of nowhere.
The Nets suddenly came to the feeling at the end of the first quarter.
Lopez stepped on the three-point line and hit a mid-range jumper at the buzzer.
Paul Pierce hit a three-pointer at the last moment, helping the Nets chase the score to 26:19, with 7 points left to end the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Clippers' problems in this game began to emerge-they didn't have a good striker.
Caron Butler and Matt Barnes are both out due to injuries, and Rivers can only continue to send Jamison as a backup striker to partner with Griffin.
Jamison actually played very well on the offensive end after he came on the court. In the second quarter, he scored 6 points in a row by himself, helping the Clippers maintain their advantage.
But the problem is that Jamison can't keep up with the defense on the court, and it's impossible to talk about rebound protection.
The Nets launched a counterattack under the leadership of Paul Pierce.
The Nets' second team significantly increased their confrontation and defensive strength, causing the Clippers to make offensive mistakes in a row.
If it weren't for the Nets' backup guard Livingston playing really badly enough, the Nets could have tied the score as quickly as possible.
As a former talented player, Livingston returned to the NBA arena relying on his tenacious will and incomparable love for basketball after experiencing a terrible broken leg injury.
However, in this game, he came on as a substitute for Deron. He failed to seize several opportunities in the second quarter, and they were all opportunities for empty cuts and layups.
The awareness is very good, there is no problem passing and catching the ball.
It was the last layup, which was easily missed by interference.
Because his leg strength is not good.
Having broken his leg, he couldn't pluck green onions in dry land and dunk directly like in the past, so he could only make a layup with difficulty, and the result was that he was interfered and missed.
There are also fast-break counterattacks, breakthrough layups, and the last important shot is always unable to get up, either slipping or being intercepted.
It can only be said that the impact of injuries on a player is too great.
Li Liang sat on the sidelines watching Deron Williams and Livingston's poor performance, thinking that no matter how ugly or smelly, he had to wear the knee pads, elbow pads, and socks sent by the system.
Four minutes into the second quarter, when Paul Pierce hit a three-pointer again, the scores of the two sides were already tied!
The Clippers caused the Nets to make a mistake and counterattack on the defensive end. As a result, Bledsoe rushed over his head, passed back and was intercepted.
Paul Pierce seized the opportunity and hit an open three-pointer from the outside.
Rivers had to call a timeout. Pierce, a veteran, is indeed good at bringing a substitute. In this regard, Griffin is still a bit worse.
Compared with the Lakers' Gasol, Griffin's ability as a tactical center is much worse.
And the guards who appeared with Griffin are Crawford and Bledsoe who are not very organized.
Once the opponent's defense controls Griffin to receive the ball in a targeted manner, the offense of the Clippers' second team will have problems.
And because of the absence of Butler and Barnes, the Clippers have a weak striker tonight.
Rivers once sent a deadly three-back combination of Crawford, Darren Collison, and Bledsoe on the court, resulting in two offensive rebounds and being chased by the Nets.
Li Liang couldn't understand what Rivers was thinking, and said, "Won't you let me play earlier without a striker? Although I get less money, I get more points! Let me just sit and watch, it's a tie." Is that called a suspension?"
Rivers just nodded, a little dizzy from the blower.
When he first came to the Clippers, Rivers still had the dignity and pride of being a head coach. After all, he was a professional player, a champion coach, and a master of chicken soup.
He has his own basketball concept and coaching philosophy. He has unique wisdom and rich experience.
But now, he felt like a pig's head.
Why do you want to go to the back three?
Hollins can still be used, with Griffin and Jamison on the inside and three short guys on the outside. The defensive formation is easily broken up, giving the Nets a lot of outside shots.
Of course, the advantage of the three guards is that the Clippers had many steals, but unfortunately none of the steals were converted into counterattacks.
I have to say that the Nets' defense is still good under Kidd's training, quite solid.
After Rivers called a timeout, Li Liang re-emerged to replace Griffin.
Griffin played a bit aggrieved. He was originally the core of the second team, but he couldn't catch the ball and didn't score a point.
Bledsoe and Crawford both tried to pass the ball to Griffin, but the Nets' defense was in place and did not give Griffin a good chance to play singles with the ball.
Without Paul and Li Liang's passing and defensive attraction, Griffin played quite difficult.
When this rotation was first implemented, Griffin was still playing well. Now that the teams are starting to study the Clippers' rotation, Griffin has begun to be targeted.
Of course, Griffin was not the only one who was targeted. Li Liang, as the hottest star in the league, began to receive fancy defensive treatment every game.
Kidd's set meal for Li Liang tonight is very traditional but also very effective, that is, the inside big man comes out to delay and interfere with Li Liang.
From the starters Garnett and Lopez to the substitute Plumlee, the Nets' insiders are all tall, all at 7 feet, and they are very oppressive to the ball holder.
And the big man of the Nets didn't wait for Li Liang to enter the three-point line with the ball to help defend, even if he was outside the three-point line, he followed suit.
Even if Li Liang passes the ball to Jordan for an assist and dunk, the Nets will not change their defensive strategy.
At worst, fouling Jordan and sending him to the free throw line is better than Li Liang getting a chance to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, right?
The teams were extremely afraid of Li Liang's three-pointer.
Tried various defensive methods one by one, as long as Li Liang didn't feel bad, they would always work.
Garnett was originally the league's strongest insider oppressing the ball holder. Even at the age of 37, his awareness, experience, and command ability cannot be underestimated.
The Clippers' offense once stagnated, and the Nets' offense was not much better, but Deron Williams finally recovered.
He hit two three-pointers in succession from the outside, helping the Nets overtake the score!
Rivers watched the main force of the Clippers come on the court and played for 2 minutes. After four or five rounds, he failed to score a goal and only scored two points with free throws, so he had to call another timeout.
Li Liang returned to the bench and took a sip of water. The situation on the court was indeed not very good.
It can be felt from the referee's whistle that the referee has been "finding faults" since the start of the second quarter.
The so-called fault-finding is to blow some trivial fouls.
Such as three seconds, walking, thugs on defense, screen violations.
These fouls can be blown or not blown when the scale is relatively loose.
The referee basically blew it tonight, and the result was that the Clippers' offense was fragmented.
Except for the first half of the first quarter, the Clippers' offense was sporadic, with quick counterattacks and consecutive scoring.
Li Liang tried to shoot two three-pointers but failed, and he didn't hit every shot.
Judging from the situation on the field, the point difference in the first half may have to be widened.
Without Barnes to take Butler, the pressure on rebounding and supplementary defense is quite high.
During the short timeout, Rivers asked the team to change their offensive strategy, allowing Li Liang to reduce his possession of the ball and increase his off-ball movement to stretch the opponent's defense, allowing Paul to have more room to move.
Li Liang nodded in agreement, Rivers' arrangement was correct.
It just depends on how the rest of the team feels about their offense.
The timeout ended, because Paul fouled just now, so Williams had to make a free throw first.
After making two free throws, the score came to 39:45, still a 6-point difference.
Williams has scored 8 points, and he is gradually regaining his status.
His two three-pointers just now, especially the second one, a quick crossover change direction to sway Paul, and a three-pointer with a step back, already has the level of his peak.
The Clippers attacked, and Li Liang came to the weak side to run without the ball to attract defense, giving Paul more room to operate.
The Nets' defense uses a big man to switch defenses. Paul beat Lopez a little, used his speed to break through to the free throw line, and made an emergency stop jump shot.
The ball rolled a few times on the rim, and finally fell out and missed.
Jordan grabbed an offensive rebound, made a layup that caused a foul, and went to the free throw line.
Because Li Liang attracted the defensive attention of Johnson and Garnett, Jordan had no one to block.
Jordan made two free throws at the free throw line, and the Clippers still didn't score in sports.
Then, Lopez hit Jordan in the low post and missed the hook when he turned around.
Li Liang grabbed the rebound and gave Paul a counterattack.
The Nets' defense was extremely fast, and Garnett did not forget to reach out in front of Paul after halftime.
This is a good defensive habit of the best defensive player, which makes it impossible for Paul to give a good pass.
In the end, Paul still used his personal ability to reach the inside to face Lopez's block, scored two points with a throw, and finally scored a goal in a sports game.
At this time, Li Liang's ability to score the ball through various operations is not enough to face high-intensity defense with the ball.
At this point, Paul does have his advantages.
But then Paul exposed his disadvantages again.
Deron Williams singled out Paul one-on-one from the outside, a beautiful crossover threw off Paul's defense, and then hit a mid-range jumper!
Williams has scored 10 points in the second quarter!
He's really starting to show a little bit of recovery.
And in this ball, Paul's biggest disadvantage when facing Williams was exposed, the gap in size was too big.
Williams' height, weight, and shooting guard are more than adequate.
In addition to playing point guard, Paul's size can only be a referee.
Even many referees are taller and stronger than him, and they can rely on experience and small moves to take advantage of defense, but he has nothing to do in the face of Williams' back-and-forth pull-up jumper.
Paul was obviously a little angry, and he hit the ball again on his own in the counterattack.
After using a rhythmic breakthrough to reach the inside line, he faced Garnett on the bottom line, fake action, time difference, and then hit a short-range throw.
The two of them are fighting each other!
In the next attack, the Nets still gave the ball to Williams, and the left low post played back with the ball.
To be honest, he is not afraid of hitting Paul on the back, because although he is short, he has a big butt!
Anti-back body height is not very effective, and a strong chassis is very important.
Williams pushed in continuously and found that he couldn't go in. Finally, he turned over and shot a jumper. The shot was obviously short, and he fell to the ground.
Needless to say, Paul stumbled again, but the referee didn't blow.
The Clippers had a chance to counterattack quickly. Li Liang hit the bottom corner and received a pass from Paul for a three-pointer!
Didn't even enter!
The ball was interfered by Garnett's defense and missed.
Li Liang did not play very well in the first half.
The Nets fans at the scene booed.
If you don't play well, you have to endure being booed.
Then, Williams changed his offensive strategy, stopped turning his back, broke through and forced Paul to kill the inside line, causing Paul to foul and go to the free throw line.
Two free throws were made, 12 points in the second quarter, and Williams' name began to sound at the Barclays Center.
Afterwards, Li Liang was double-teamed outside the Clippers and gave the ball to Crawford.
Crawford made a wide-open three-pointer, but he made a three-pointer?
Li Liang really wanted to take off his shoes and hit Crawford on the head.
You can shoot all three open shots. What's the difference between you and a fast-break dunk?
Not only that, Jordan saved the ball with great difficulty and scooped it back. Li Liang rushed to get the ball back, but the referee blew a return line.
Li Liang was dissatisfied now, the ball was clearly touched by Garnett's finger, how could it be counted as a return line?
After chatting with the referee for a while, Kennedy tried to persuade him, but Li Liang refused to listen.
Also presented Kennedy with a "Pretty Mom!"
Kennedy reciprocated courtesy and gave Li Liang a T.
Rivers was very helpless. Li Liang has always played extremely calmly, but today he feels a little irritable.
Li Liang is indeed irritable, can he not be irritable if he is not in a good state?
In the first half, he was 1-of-7. Could it be that he was given a supplement in the second half?
Li Liangcai didn't want to eat it, the little Nets didn't want him to take Dabu Pills.
Joe Johnson made a technical foul free throw.
The Nets are getting braver as they fight, Joe Johnson missed a shot, Lopez grabbed an offensive rebound from the basket and made a layup.
Then Griffin's layup was blocked by Garnett, the Nets' last attack before halftime.
Williams faced Paul, and the audience opened up one-on-one.
Williams once again passed Paul with a superb and quick crossover change of direction and a strong body. He hit the inside with a throw and scored two points. The score in the first half was fixed at 44:54.
When the Nets fell behind in the first quarter, they successfully overtook them in the second quarter, leading by 10 points.
The Clippers' offense was undoubtedly in big trouble. Li Liang only hit a three-pointer in the first half and didn't score any more.
If he doesn't play well in the second half, I don't know how the New York media will mock him.
