It is really unlucky for the unlucky Knicks to meet the fast-moving Clippers.

In fact, it was quite difficult for Li Liang to play against the Knicks a few times before, because he had to face Anthony on the defensive end.

So far in the league, Anthony is the most difficult defensive player for Li Liang at the striker position.

Anthony's technical style is quite obvious to Li Liang's defensive restraint.

Li Liang would rather defend James than Anthony, and Durant ranks second.

Of course, it is more difficult to defend Anthony one-on-one, but it is not so difficult to play against the Knicks.

Although Tyson Chandler has come back, his overall level has dropped drastically.

As for the striker position, Bargnani is somewhat outside the Knicks' system.

The defense is average, and the offensive style overlaps with Anthony. A team with two strikers who mainly focus on mid-range shots and can't organize assists, how does the overall offense work?

Therefore, the Knicks often fall into a solo game in the game.

Anthony, Bargnani, Smith and others all have the ability to rely on their personal ability to get the ball into the basket.

However, if your defense is weak and your offense is not formed, the offense will suddenly misfire during the game, or the opponent will continuously attack and attack waves.

If the two situations are combined, this game should not be played, and the loss is certain.

The poor Knicks have been rebuilding for many years, gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, attracted Stoudemire, and got Anthony in a big deal.

As a result, he only relied on the veteran for a year, and then he had diarrhea in the second year, and he turned back to the bad guy he used to be.

Li Liang was full of thoughts about scoring a high score at Madison Square Garden tonight, so as to give New York media a big blow.

The last time Li Liang came to Brooklyn, New York to play against the Nets, because of some remarks before the game and New York's vicious media, he got into trouble.

This time Li Liang came to New York to play against the Knicks, how could the New York media let him go?

For writers, no matter how good or great a player is, as long as you want to be black, you can always find black spots.

Moreover, the better the player, because under the spotlight, the easier it is to be critical.

Not to mention Bao Qingtian like Kobe, who has been complained by the media all year round.

Even for a player like James who has a stable performance and rarely loses the chain, the New York media will not be polite.

Unless the Knicks need to recruit, these poisonous tongues will put on sweet words and pretend to praise them.

Once the recruitment fails, the media will take off the mask and make fun of it without hesitation.

For example, after James decided to go to Miami in the summer of 2010, the cover of the New York Post was a chicken with James' face...

The title is a big LeChicken, which means that LeBron James is a cowardly villain. In English, "chicken" means cowardly and timid.

This time Li Liang led the Clippers to New York, of course the media were not too polite.

The headline of the sports section of the New York Post directly published a cartoon of the image of Li Liang Fu Manchuria.

Behind Li Liang, there are Clippers players who have been Chineseized.

For example, Griffin in Chinese armor, Crawford in a melon cap, and Jordan on stilts.

And of course, there's poor Paul, in a wheelchair...

As soon as the cover of this set of comics came out, the sales of the New York Post skyrocketed.

Americans are like this. They like to think of the Chinese as terrifying and evil enemies, as if they have existed in a dark and rotten place for thousands of years, and possess mysterious powers.

When Li Liang saw this newspaper, he was also amused by the rich imagination of New Yorkers.

I thought that what these people were thinking was right, I do have mysterious power, and I will let you experience it when the time comes.

It's just that Paul is really pitiful, sitting in a wheelchair... Li Liang took a photo of the newspaper headline and sent it to Paul, and then told Paul that he wanted to seek justice for him!

The game started on time, the Clippers started as usual, and Collison replaced Paul as the starting point guard.

Collison has performed quite well in Paul's absence and is a very reliable backcourt player.

Li Liang felt quite comfortable cooperating with him, because he was obedient.

The Knicks' starters are Anthony, Chandler, Felton, Shumpert and Bargnani.

In the opening game, the Knicks took the lead in getting an offensive opportunity. Bargnani received a pass from Felton at a high position and made a two-pointer.

The Knicks scored first.

Both sides played more relaxed in the first quarter, Chandler made a layup, Anthony hit a jumper, and beat the Clippers 6:0.

The Clippers' recent games have started a bit slowly, like a truck, the start-up stage is always a bit slow.

This is also related to Li Liang's organizational style. His organization and control of offense is not as fine as Paul's, and some offensive choices at the beginning are relatively rough.

If his teammates or his own offense does not feel open, it is inevitable that he will miss consecutively.

But once Li Liang and his teammates gradually find the feeling, the Clippers' offense will want to start the chariot, and it will not be so easy to stop him.

This is why many senior commentators believe that Li Liang is better than Paul in leading players.

Paul is too meticulous, "clothes, hands, food, mouth" for his teammates, and he himself lacks sufficient problem-solving skills.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers achieved a lead.

Li Liang hit a three-pointer in the counterattack, then the defensive end took the backcourt rebound, pushed the fast break to the basket by himself, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

The Knicks' retreat is really hard to see at a glance.

Li Liang's ability to push and counterattack can easily start up, and finally enter the three-second zone and hit a jumper.

The goal was scored, the Clippers completed the overtake, and the game entered an official timeout.

Afterwards, the Clippers gradually found their offensive feel, but the Knicks' offense was not bad either.

Bargnani, Anthony and JR-Smith, who came off the bench, all hit three-pointers from the outside.

Li Liang yelled at his teammates for missing people in defense, and at the same time assisted Griffin to score at the basket, including a 2+1.

During Paul's absence, Griffin played very well, and his cooperation with Li Liang became more and more tacit.

Sometimes I think about it, why not trade Paul for a high-quality 3D player?

Afterwards, Griffin took a break, and Li Liang led Crawford and others to strike the iron. The score was overtaken by the Knicks.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers trailed the Knicks by two points at 25:27.

Li Liang scored 5 points and sent 4 assists in the first quarter.

If he played like this in the first quarter, he would definitely not be able to give Paul justice.

But he is not in a hurry, the first half is not the right time, Li Liang still prefers to teach his opponent a lesson in the second half.

A pitcher must learn to manage his feel and state reasonably.

A race is like a long-distance marathon. If you rush too hard at the beginning, you will lose strength in the middle.

If you rush too late, it may be too late.

When Li Liang played for the Lakers, he often rushed at the beginning for no other reason, because he was not a core player at that time.

He doesn't need to worry too much, he should score more at the beginning, when the defense is the weakest.

After arriving in the Clippers, after half a season of training, Li Liang played more and more like a core player.

He began to learn to control the rhythm, learn to slowly get himself into the state, learn to mobilize his teammates, and then stay focused until the critical moment.

After the start of the second quarter, Griffin led the second team against the Knicks.

The speed of the two sides has been fought, but the scene is really not very good, the shooting rate is not high, and there are frequent fouls and turnovers.

The Knicks obviously want to strengthen their defense to destroy the speed of the Clippers and brake this big truck.

The Clippers' second lineup revolves around Griffin, moving forward step by step, trying to turn the situation over again.

It's a pity that the Clippers didn't have the high shooting percentage they had in the last game against the Lone Ranger. Butler and Crawford missed consecutive three-pointers.

Rivers looked at the iron bang bang, his face full of sadness.

In fact, the Clippers are only two or three points behind the Knicks.

The coaching bench of the Clippers is also very interesting.

As the head coach, Rivers always looks sad on the sidelines, rarely smiles, and occasionally makes some inexplicable expressions, which make people puzzled.

Gentry, as the chief offensive coach, seems to be forever dissatisfied with the team's offense, although the Clippers' offense is already the league's first, averaging more than 110 points per game, so he is always angry and yelling at the players yell.

Tyronn Lue gave people the impression that he was always in a daze, with his mouth half open, and a sad expression, like a dying fish.

Only Mike Brown, he is the happiest one, always happy on the sidelines. He was not so happy in the Lakers before, but he was very serious on the court.

After arriving at the Clippers, because he didn't have much pressure not to be the head coach, and his series of tactical arrangements were smooth, and some arrangements around Li Liang were very successful, why should he be unhappy?

After all, people who love to laugh are not too bad luck.

Therefore, on the Clippers' bench are the four elders of "joy, anger, sorrow and sorrow", which have become a landscape for the Clippers.

"Mike, can you stop laughing, we are behind, what's so funny?"

Li Liang was resting on the bench. While watching the game, he noticed that Mike Brown was inexplicably laughing again.

How can you just laugh here casually? Playing so seriously, you are still behind and you just laugh?

During timeouts, Li Liang always sits next to Mike Brown. He likes to communicate with Brown during the game.

Mike Brown immediately put away his smile, and said: "Sorry, I suddenly thought of that newspaper. I think the cartoons are pretty good, but Chris is a little... a little pitiful..."

It turned out that Mike Brown thought of the New York Post's cover cartoon.

Paul is really pitiful, the others are majestic, no matter how you put it, they are evil.

Only Paul sat in a wheelchair, as if he was the heartless of the Four Gods.

Thinking of this, Li Liang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But he immediately put away his smile and thought, is it still a person who laughs at his teammates like this?

At this time, there was a dead ball on the court, and the two sides entered the lineup rotation.

Li Liang took off his tracksuit and reappeared.
