Paul feels like his teammates have changed.

The previous games against the Grizzlies and the Spurs were all pressured at the beginning and dug holes in the first quarter.

The Clippers struggled to catch up, the fast-paced offense couldn't play, and the defense couldn't completely contain the opponent. Li Liang's stormy three-pointers didn't appear, and finally hit GG.

Why did you just hint today that Li Liang should be the core, everyone is strong and well-coordinated, and they played such a beautiful and quick counterattack?

Is it an actor? Is it all about me?

Paul didn't want to talk anymore, and continued to devote himself to the game.

Soon, the Thunder made another mistake.

Westbrook hesitated when passing the ball to Durant, but was intercepted by Li Liang from behind.

The Clippers counterattacked again, this time the ball was given to Paul.

Paul dribbles quickly across half court, then lobs to Griffin who cuts to the basket.

Griffin's layup caused a foul by Adams and went to the free throw line.

Griffin and Paul high-fived, a good cooperation, but did not form the final score, or rely on free throws.

In fact, from this goal, Paul realized the difference between himself and Li Liang in organization.

First of all, Paul's quick counterattack was not as fast as Li Liang's.

If Li Liang counterattacks with the ball in the back court, the speed of the ball is almost instantaneous, and he rarely dribbles.

If he dribbles a lot, he is basically one-stop.

Relatively speaking, Paul's speed of the ball is much slower. Unless there is a particularly good opportunity in front of him, Paul will directly create an attack with a beautiful long pass.

On the one hand, Paul has natural disadvantages in height and vision.

On the other hand, Paul still focuses on stability in possession of the ball, and his error control is very good.

For example, when Li Liang was leading the team, the number of mistakes soared. It must be said that several losses were directly related to Li Liang's mistakes.

But Li Liang's extensive organization method has indeed injected great vitality into the Clippers.

The difference between the two is like a Toyota that never breaks down, and a muscular Dodge that always breaks down on the road, but goes fast when you step on the gas pedal.

For the Clippers, maybe they really need a bold and wild sailing captain, not a smooth canal helmsman.

But to be honest, Paul didn't even know how Li Liang's organizational style came about.

Because Li Liang is very, very stable in his own offensive skills and style.

He doesn't play fancy at all, has solid basic skills, and his offensive methods are relatively simple but efficient. He is synonymous with the league's "efficiency" and has even surpassed James.

How to organize an attack, just like playing?

This is why Paul doesn't understand, because Li Liang is just playing!

In terms of organizational level, in addition to having learned basic skills from Fraser, John Wooden and other coaches and players, Li Liang's overall organizational ability is only at the middle level in the league.

To put it bluntly, it means serving the ball from the top of the arc, passing a pass and hitting the ground, a good high-post lob pass, and because of the improvement in ball handling ability, he will now push for a fast break.

The way he pushes the fast break is very simple. He never looks at the opponent's defensive formation or his own formation. He sets the rules for himself, he must pass the ball within two seconds, and he must pass when he sees a gap.

If you can't send it out within two seconds, then don't pass it on, and call it yourself.

This kind of extensive push and counterattack method forces everyone involved in the fast break of the Clippers to use their brains and think about what to do next after receiving the ball.

In fact, Clippers players have this ability.

Needless to say, Griffin, the substitute Odom, Collison, and Livingston all have strong organizational and offensive capabilities.

It's just that when Paul was around, everyone regarded themselves as "chess pieces". After all, Paul was really good at playing chess.

And Li Liang never yelled when organizing, he didn't know how to fight afterward, he commanded nothing, he only yelled when defending.

That's why I played with Paul. Everyone was a little dull and insensitive.

In Li Liang's organization, the teammates were forced to find their own way to solve the problem.

Moreover, Li Liang and Kidd are different. Kidd's offense is basically four-on-five in the later stage. Li Liang standing on the court may let you four-on-three. Can this not stimulate your potential?

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers team played a wonderful offense.

After Griffin made a free throw, the Thunder called a timeout. After returning, the Thunder's offense picked up, but they couldn't stop the Clippers from counterattacking like a tide.

After losing two games in a row, everyone was holding their breath.

The Clippers led the Thunder by 8 points at 40:32 in the first quarter.

40 points in a single quarter shows how strong the Clippers are.

As a result, in the second quarter, the scene became even more exaggerated.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Crawford took the ball at a mid-range distance of 45 degrees on the right and shot it.

This is not a good sign for the Thunder, the Clippers seem to have a full blown appearance.

Afterwards, the two sides played iron for several rounds, Crawford seized the opportunity again, made a mid-range jumper from the top of the arc, and hit it again.

Crawford has acted as the team's microwave oven today, and he can make contributions immediately when he comes off the bench, without any tactics.

On the Thunder's side, Reggie Jackson returned the favor. First he hit a mid-range jumper, combined with a beautiful touch pass to assist Collison, he went inside and dunked with both hands.

This time the Clippers' defensive communication went wrong again, and there was no one in the three-second zone, watching Collison rush to the basket and dunk.

But the Clippers' offense was really smooth.

After Livingston and Griffin picked and rolled, a high pass, Griffin cut to the basket, and made an alley-oop layup.

The offensive creativity of the Clippers players seems to have been stimulated.

Then the Thunder made another pass error, and Crawford hit a mid-range jumper for the third time after a high pick-and-roll!

Three goals in a row!

Crawford stunned the Thunder and Paul.

Why were you so ironic when Lao Tzu came back in the first two games? Pass the ball to you and fail to score?

There is no way, Crawford is a neurotic knife, and he is ready for one game and two games, and two games for three games. This time he just returned to form and is simply unstoppable.

Crawford scored three goals in a row, and the Thunder had to request a timeout.

But after returning from the timeout, the Thunder did not contain the extraordinary performance of the Clippers' second team on the offensive end.

After the aircraft carrier accelerated at full speed, there was nothing to stop it.

After Crawford came back from the timeout, he was very smart and passed the ball to Griffin after the Thunder double-teamed him. Griffin beat Adams under the basket and succeeded.

The Clippers' substitute played a 12:5 offensive climax, further widening the point difference.

Brooks had to let Durant and Westbrook come on stage early, because if they don't play, the point difference will be further widened and it will be difficult to play.

As a result, Li Liang and Paul also reappeared, and the Clippers began their more unrestrained offensive play.

As soon as Durant came on the court, he first used his unmatched long legs to cross step to kill the basket. After using the time difference to get rid of Li Liang, he easily made a layup with his right hand.

However, the Clippers made quick free throws. Li Liang dribbled the ball by himself, dribbled the ball from the left sideline across half court, and then went directly to the basket.

Li Liang's speed is not fast, but he hit the basket very suddenly, and the Thunder's defenders were not prepared.

As a result, Li Liang entered the three-second zone, hit a jumper with a signature hit, and responded with two points to Durant.

Pass the ball to Paul? Fighting positional warfare? Dealing at the top of the arc?

Doesn't exist,? Take the ball and rush in, and it's over.

Before the game, the Thunder and Brooks never thought that Li Liang and the Clippers would play like this. They were not rigorous or focused at all.

But what the Clippers and Li Liang are fighting is your unknown territory, and what you are fighting is that your foothold is not stable.

Subsequently, Durant made an air cut to the basket to catch the ball and caused Jordan to foul and go to the free throw line.

Two free throws were made, but Li Liang turned his head and received a pass from Paul from the outside. The double screened and directly hit a long-range three-pointer.

This is a common tactic used by the Clippers, but Li Liang is really not soft at all.

Brooks saw that the Clippers' offense felt a little unstoppable, and began to use bad moves.

This is also the trick Popovich just used, to chop Jordan!

Can't you vote?

No chance for you to vote.

Go straight to the player with your worst shot.

After Westbrook assisted Ibaka and scored a layup, the Thunder immediately fouled Jordan and sent him to the free throw line.

Rivers was speechless seeing this behavior on the sidelines.

This is only the second quarter! Foul tactics started in the second quarter?

Are you coaches still human?

But think about it, when you were playing penalty shootouts, did you ever think about yourself as a human being?

The Thunder fouled Jordan for two consecutive rounds and sent him to the free throw line.

Jordan made 1 of 4 free throws, and the Thunder succeeded in two attacks, which indeed narrowed the score.

It can be said that this trick is effective.

But Brooks didn't use this trick to get closer to the 3 points, but hoped to curb the Clippers' offensive momentum.

Unfortunately, Brooks' goal was not achieved.

Because at this time, Paul wisely chose to make a foul.

He drew a foul on Westbrook with a shot fake to get himself to the free throw line.

Westbrook, you are also a naive, what's wrong with Paul in his current state and let him vote? Do you think he can make it?

He insisted on jumping up to block the shot, which resulted in a foul.

Paul just took advantage of the opportunity of free throws to find himself a shooting touch.

Immediately afterwards, Westbrook made a mistake in the offense, jumped up and passed back after a breakthrough, made a mistake, and was intercepted by Barnes.

Li Liang rushed forward like the wind, and Barnes immediately passed the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang used a set of extremely smooth movements to complete the entire process of catching the ball, stopping the ball, preparing, and then shooting a three-pointer!

A three-point hit in a quick counterattack!

The Clippers' offense went completely crazy.

Brooks had to call another timeout.

After that, the Clippers' offense eased a bit.

But throughout the second quarter, the Clippers scored higher than the 40 points in the first quarter. They scored an astonishing 45 points in a single quarter!

This is already the score of some Eastern Conference teams at halftime.

The Clippers scored an astonishing 85 points in the first half, leading the Thunder by 17 points 85:68.

The Thunder played well on both offense and defense tonight. Unexpectedly, the Clippers were a hit. The team made 7 of 11 outside three-pointers. Li Liang and Crawford scored two each.

In the last four minutes of the second quarter, Brooks still tried to use foul tactics to interfere with the Clippers' offensive rhythm.

The result was completely useless, and Li Liang immediately used an alley-oop with Jordan to break the Thunder's defensive blockade.

The 86 points in the half also created the team's scoring record in the first half of the season.

Of course, this score is high, but it is far from the historical record.

When the Suns played against the Nuggets in 1990 (the team records related to scoring always include the Nuggets, because they did not defend), the Suns scored 50 points in the first quarter, 57 points in the second quarter, and 107 points in the first half, the only halftime in history percentage.

However, at the end of the first half of the game, Li Liang was rewarded by the system.

[Congratulations on your achievement: The team scored 80 points at halftime, and you got a reward: a team morale rune. 】

Another morale rune was obtained like this.
