Chapter 530: Zang Feng
After the home score was 2:0, the third game to Dallas was a crucial one.
If the Clippers win, there will be no suspense in the series. If the Clippers lose, the Lone Ranger still has a chance.
After playing the second game, Li Liang boarded a plane to Dallas with his teammates.
On several other courts, the Thunder defeated the Warriors 113:102 at home, pulling back a big score, and the two sides played 1:1.
The Spurs continued to crush the Grizzlies, leading by a big score of 2:0, not far from sweeping.
In the case of superior strength, the Spurs rarely overturn, let alone the opponent is the Grizzlies.
The Rockets faced the Trail Blazers. In the second game, they were always leading the game, but they were penetrated by the Blazers' sharp offense in the last quarter. They lost consecutive points in a short period of time, and finally lost to the Trail Blazers, 0: 2 fell behind and fell into an extremely unfavorable situation.
Harden's performance in the series was a level worse than the regular season. He was completely restricted by Trail Blazers guard Matthews.
At the same time, no one on the Rockets' side can limit the Blazers' power forward Aldridge. In the second game, Aldridge scored 41 points and was eaten alive.
The Rockets tried to use Josh Smith, Jones and others to play in turns, but they were abused by Adelaide.
Two of the top three in Texas are already in danger.
On April 27, the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks kicked off at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
This is the Lone Ranger's last stand. With this loss, the Lone Ranger faces the risk of being swept away.
Before the start of the playoffs, people also vowed that the Lone Ranger had a chance to black the Clippers.
But after two games, people discovered that the team with 70 wins in the regular season is really not so easy to be hacked, and the Clippers are really strong.
It has both offense and defense, can kill you with offense, and consume you with defense.
Once the Clippers show a strong defensive ability in the playoffs, people will have no hope for the Lone Ranger Black Eight.
Defense is the lifeline in the playoffs. With this lifeline, the Clippers will not overturn if there is no accident.
The game officially started at seven o'clock in the evening.
The Lone Ranger, who returned to the home court, started aggressively.
Nowitzki hit the first record with a high-post turnaround jumper.
For the Clippers, Li Liang missed a three-pointer for the first time.
Li Liang often tries to shoot three-pointers at the beginning of the game. If he feels good, he will basically feel good throughout the game.
If it doesn't make it, it means adjustments are needed.
Carlisle and the Lone Ranger fans on the sidelines were a little relieved, knowing that Li Liang's start tonight was average.
It shows that the Lone Ranger still has a chance.
Then the Lone Ranger played a 9:2 spurt and sent the Clippers to the first timeout.
After returning from the timeout, the Clippers played Paul Griffin's pick-and-roll.
Rivers' idea is that Li Liang showed his sharpness in the first two games, and the Lone Ranger has paid more attention to Li Liang.
In the third game, we must fight from other points, and Griffin is the best choice.
And the edge of Li Liang's knife should be hidden first, and revealed when necessary, to deal a fatal blow to the Lone Ranger.
Rivers' idea is correct. The Clippers already have an absolute advantage in lineup and strength, and they have a big chance of winning no matter what.
If the team's third player can open this point, it is impossible for the Lone Ranger to beat the Clippers who are blooming at three points.
Griffin lived up to expectations, and took up the burden of the team's offense in the limited playing time in the first quarter, and began to attack the Lone Ranger inside.
Griffin's strength this season has been greatly underestimated. In the regular season, he has always been the most stable scoring point inside the team.
Moreover, Griffin's inside offensive ability has been greatly improved this season, and his style of play is very tough. He can also output stably under the high-intensity defense in the playoffs.
In the case of a bad start in the first quarter, the Clippers relied on defense and Griffin's inside attack to recover points a little bit.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the second lineup of both sides was excessive, and Griffin continued to attack the Mavericks' aging and fragile inside line, forcing Carlisle to double-team Griffin.
This double-team doesn't matter, Crawford and Collison hit three-pointers from the outside line, and the Clippers are faintly opening the score.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Carlisle immediately called a timeout and replaced the main lineup.
At this time, Nowitzki was absent for a period of time in the middle of the second quarter. Taking advantage of the weak offensive system of the Lone Ranger, the Clippers launched the most ferocious counterattack in the second quarter.
Li Liang came on the stage at this time and scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, forcing the Mavericks to change their defensive focus.
As a result, Paul followed suit, Calderon's defense was ignored in front of Paul, and the Clippers opened the score in the second quarter in one fell swoop.
But the Lone Ranger returning home is obviously not so easy to deal with.
In the third quarter, Carter Sr. stepped forward and scored consecutive three-pointers in the offense, bringing the score closer.
Then, the Lone Ranger played a very efficient pick-and-roll cooperation-the high pick-and-roll of Monta Ellis and Nowitzki began to exert power.
In the first two games, Li Liang broke out in the first game and did not give the Lone Ranger a chance to play.
In the second defensive battle, Li Liang curbed Nowitzki's role in the Lone Ranger's tactical system very well.
In the third game, Carlisle felt that the situation was not good. In the second half, he boldly abandoned Calderon and used Carter and Harris, two veteran players, while allowing Monta Ellis to take the lead and start from a high position with Nowitzki. attack.
Nowitzki's high-position pick-and-roll is absolutely historically strong. Monta Ellis hit the Clippers inside continuously in the third quarter, and Nowitzki also succeeded in mid-range.
Nowitzki played smartly, with fewer touches and more of a support role in the high pick-and-roll -- he's been the primary attacker in the past.
The burden of the main offense was placed on the shoulders of Monta Ellis. If Ellis controls the ball, he will be much more aggressive than Calderon.
Moreover, at home in Dallas, the referee's whistle was still slightly biased towards the home team. Ellis got free throws many times in the third quarter, helping the home team chase back point by point.
Moreover, Carlisle also made a very bold adjustment in defense, that is, instead of letting Marion defend Li Liang, he let Blair defend Li Liang.
This change actually had a good effect.
It's not because Blair's defense against Li Liang is better, but because it doesn't seem to get worse with Blair's defense!
That way, Marion would be free to deal with Paul.
The Lone Ranger has been unable to find a player to match Paul, so that Paul's performance in the first two games was terrible.
Marion is against Paul, Li Liang will let him go, if you explode and throw me to death like in the first scene, we will throw it away!
Li Liang played mediocre in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, he made 2 of 6 three-pointers and only scored 11 points.
On the defensive end, Ellis was charged with two fouls. At the same time, the Lone Ranger's more flexible pick-and-roll strategy made Li Liang's defense less dominant than in the second game.
Finally, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Carter received a pass from Nowitzki and hit a three-pointer from the outside, the Lone Ranger successfully overtook the Clippers with 89:88!
The Mavericks team, dominated by veterans, showed amazing tenacity in the second half.
In the case that the Clippers made no major mistakes, relying on strategic adjustments and player performance, they abruptly reversed the situation of the game.
From this point of view, Rivers' adjustment is a bit slow.
In the case that Carlisle had already made an obvious matchup replacement in the second half, Rivers did not dare to boldly use Odom and Granger on the bench, but continued to reuse Crawford, which caused the Clippers' offensive efficiency to decline. Missed two key backcourt rebounds.
After Carter made a go-ahead three-pointer, Rivers called a timeout.
Li Liang played too long in the third quarter, and he couldn't catch the ball.
The Lone Ranger let Blair face Li Liang, and the other defenders tried their best to cut the connection between Li Liang and his teammates.
Li Liang's ability to hold the ball is still insufficient after all. He needs the support of his teammates in offense.
As soon as Paul, a dwarf, was entangled by Marion, it was a little difficult to play the ball.
The chances given to Li Liang were not very good, which led to Li Liang's low efficiency in the first three quarters.
Li Liang is a well-known efficiency king in the league. Paul is all to blame for his low efficiency.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Rivers made the most important decision of the game - let Li Liang rest for a while.
He played almost the entire third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Rivers decided to let Li Hao take a good rest for five or six minutes, and then had a showdown at the last moment.
It was Odom who replaced Li Liang.
As soon as Odom played, the offensive and defensive strategies of the two sides were completely different.
The Lone Ranger's defense has shrunk in an all-round way, while the Clippers are still fighting hard on the offensive end.
The two sides started a hand-to-hand bayonet battle in the fourth quarter.
Paul and Griffin played two-on-one on the field, and Griffin hit the Lone Ranger inside continuously and caused the Lone Ranger to foul and win free throws.
The Lone Ranger played the best is Ellis.
Ellis shined tonight, his breakthrough was extremely sharp.
There is also veteran Carter, whose shots from beyond the three-point line are extremely threatening.
Also in Texas, the American Airlines Center in Dallas is not the Toyota Center in Houston, blue denim is very popular.
In any case, the Lone Ranger hopes to win the next game in the series.
If they can win this game, they might be able to make another victory with high morale.
After all, Carlisle feels as if he has found some way to deal with Li Liang and the Clippers.
Li Liang, who was sitting on the sidelines, just wanted to say to Carlisle: No, you didn't.
...
"Bruce, come on."
With 5 minutes and 45 seconds left before the end of the game, Rivers let Li Liang play.
At this time, the score between the two sides became a 97:97 tie.
The two sides played more than half of the fourth quarter, and neither side scored more than 10 points, which is enough to show how fierce the game is.
The number of turnovers and fouls on both sides surged in the fourth quarter, and the smell of gunpowder was even stronger.
In the first game, Nowitzki had an elbow. In the regular season, Barnes and Marion almost fought. In this game, Monta Ellis and Paul are on the bar.
Paul used to make a lot of small moves when defending. This time Ellis played well. Paul defended Ellis behind. Naturally, the conflict between the two will not be less.
In the fourth quarter, the two each received a technical foul, and then entered an official timeout, and Li Liang was about to make his debut.
After resting for more than half a quarter, Li Liang felt that his physical fitness had recovered a lot, and his touch should also return.
As an insurance, Li Liang called up the three-point shooting percentage improvement post from the system.
Then he rubbed the muscles of his face, ready to smile.
Li Liang looked up at the timer. At 5 minutes and 45 seconds, the series was coming to an end.
3:0 Well, no team in history can come back, right?
The blade, which had been hidden for almost a whole game, finally showed a cold light.
