Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems
Chapter 553 Be Calm
The second half of the game started quickly.
The two sides are still almost on the same starting line.
The score of 49:47 was low enough for both sides.
Especially the Clippers, they averaged more than 120 points per game in the regular season, and they scored high in the last round against the Trail Blazers.
Breaking 60 in the half, breaking 70, as a result, there were no more than 50 points in the half of tonight's game.
Li Liang is indeed extremely efficient, but the Clippers' fast offense hardly played a few times.
Don't even think about fast break dunks, let alone wave after wave of three-pointers.
Of course, the Spurs didn't play well offensively. Facing the Clippers' targeted defense, their smooth teamwork was compromised.
In short, it is still unclear who will win the deer.
In the second half, the Spurs took the lead in attacking.
And their attack was blocked from the start.
Green broke through to the inside and passed the ball to Duncan at the horns, but missed a mid-range jumper.
Green grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Parker on the outside. Parker broke through with the ball and then distributed the ball to Splitter on the baseline.
Split came with a backhand, trying to hit the board for a layup, but the angle of wiping the board was not found properly, and the strength of his hand was not right, so he missed.
The ball fell to the basket, and Duncan, Splitter, Griffin, and Jordan scrambled together. Duncan picked up the ball and immediately made a throw, which was interfered by Jordan, but still missed.
In the end, the ball slid and flew to Li Liang's feet, and was picked up by Li Liang...
This guy has a ball-absorbing halo, and the ball always gets into his hands inexplicably.
The Spurs' offensive cooperation this time is not bad, and they passed the opportunity several times.
But at the end, it was always a little bit worse.
It's just a little bit that makes all the cooperation in front of the Spurs meaningless.
This is one of the more obvious weaknesses of the Spurs at present, and it is also the most common weakness of team basketball, which is the lack of absolute strength.
This ball is replaced by Duncan before the age of 30. He will not throw the ball when he picks it up under the basket, but will push Jordan and dunk it directly.
Team basketball with absolute strengths, such as the Chicago Bulls in the post-three-game period, is really cutting melons and vegetables, and can easily overwhelm opponents.
The Clippers have a good combination of stars and teams, but they can't be called team basketball.
But in the NBA, stars are everything.
Then Li Liang stumbled when advancing in midfield and made a mistake...
You are not a real star!
Li Liang dribbled the ball too hastily, and as a result, his feet got mixed up!
The level of dribbling needs to be further improved, especially in terms of acceleration with the ball.
The Spurs took this opportunity to counterattack. Danny Green received a pass from Leonard and made a 45-degree three-pointer from the right, but still missed.
At the basket, Split grabbed an offensive rebound, and Jordan slapped his float shot off again.
Since the semifinals, Jordan has been the Optimus Prime of the Clippers inside.
Li Liang rushed over to make amends and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
It's really embarrassing, maybe there are gains and losses. I didn't miss a single shot, and I made a lot of mistakes.
After winning the backcourt rebound, the Clippers finally made a quick counterattack.
Li Liang handed the ball to Paul, and then quickly went down from the wing. After receiving Paul's pass, he drew the Spurs' defensive attention from outside the three-point line, and then suddenly made a straight pass to the basket. Jordan was just in the three-second zone. Catch the ball and dunk with one hand!
Subsequently, Duncan's layup was blocked by Griffin from the side!
Duncan, Duncan, you also have today, and you were blocked by Griffin, who averaged 0.5 caps per game.
Griffin's wingspan may not be as high as his head when stretched out. His blocking is equivalent to heading the ball. Just think about how difficult it is.
It can only be said that time is not forgiving, Duncan is 38 years old after all.
After the opening of the second half, the Spurs made it very clear to attack the Clippers' three-second zone.
Popovich's thinking is correct. With the Clippers constantly changing defenses, it is difficult to find good shots from the outside.
Therefore, it is necessary to open the inside line and force the Clippers to shrink by means of a strong attack, giving the outside line more room to operate.
But the Clippers' protection of the three-second zone was very successful.
Although the frontcourt composed of Jordan, Li Liang and Griffin cannot be said to be a solid wall, it is definitely not easy to break through.
After the opening of the second half, the Clippers once again gained the advantage on the scene by virtue of their solid inside defense.
However, the Spurs did not give up their strategy, and continued to attack the inside tirelessly.
After all, the battering ram's repeated impact on the city gate had some effect. Splitter got a free throw opportunity in the offense and helped the Spurs to close the score.
The point difference has been maintained at about 3 to 5 points. In the opening of the second half, the two sides just came and went, and no one could play an offensive wave.
Although the Clippers have the upper hand, the solid defense of the Spurs makes Li Liang unable to let go of the attack, or he doesn't want to let go of the Spurs just yet.
Leonard stares closely at Li Liang.
The Spurs have changed their defensive strategy against Li Liang. Instead of blindly double-teaming in advance, they use zone marking to curb Li Liang's transfer of the ball.
By the time Li Liang's halfway through the third quarter, he had made five turnovers.
Except for the time when the foot slipped, the other times the pass was interrupted.
But Li Liang did not give up on passing organization, he knew that the Clippers had to keep their offense alive.
Otherwise, the more you fight, the more you die, and it will be fatal in the fourth quarter.
Griffin is more and more active inside, because Li Liang and Paul are constantly creating offensive opportunities for Griffin.
In a quick counterattack, Griffin quickly went down to the basket. Paul passed the ball to Li Liang in the corner. Li Liang quickly hit the ground and passed the ball to Griffin. Was hugged and pulled down, fouled and went to the free throw line.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 57:54, and the Clippers led the Spurs by three points.
While Griffin made free throws, Li Liang communicated with Paul on the side to determine the team's rhythm.
Popovich sat down on the court, thinking quickly. Tonight's Li Liang is different from him in the regular season and the semifinals.
I didn't expect this guy to play so steadily, so stable that Popovich was a little surprised.
Li Liang is not only stable, but also very firm in tactical execution.
Never give up passing the ball or give up the overall offense of the Clippers just because of his many mistakes.
This is similar to Kobe. Kobe will never give up his vote just because he has hit the iron.
This kind of firm strategy implementer is exactly what old foxes like Popovich hate, because there is no way to drive opponents into the trap.
Popovich wanted to watch Li Liangduo take shots and destroy the Clippers' overall offense.
He is confident that if Li Liang attacks with all his strength, he will have a way to contain Li Liang on defense.
Who knew that Li Liang played so calmly and efficiently, and now he has scored 20 points and sent 7 assists.
The shooting percentage is still 100%, but the 5 turnovers are a little dazzling.
Relatively on the Clippers bench, Rivers clasped his hands together, sat on the bench, staring at the situation on the court.
Nothing was on Rivers' mind.
What can I think about? Don't you play well?
There is already a brain and a cerebellum on the court. He just needs to concentrate on being his butt. He doesn't need to think, he just needs to wait.
In fact, Rivers was not like this when he first came to the Clippers.
He is a champion coach, and he is a life-and-death player in the Clippers. He has the ambition to create his own coaching glory here.
Then Li Liang came, and there was no more for the time being.
After a season of edification and a season of blowing, Rivers decided to enjoy life like Mike Brown!
Griffin made two free throws. After discussing with Paul, Li Liang and Paul decided on a strategy for the next few minutes.
Soon, the Clippers changed.
The Spurs performed a pick-and-roll at a high position, and Li Liang, Paul, and Jordan suddenly attacked the ball holder.
Parker wanted to play the ball, but was blocked by Jordan Jr.
Li Liang grabbed the ball, passed it to Paul immediately, and quickly went down to the left corner.
This counterattack came quickly, Paul gave the ball to Li Liang, Li Liang caught the ball and shot!
Three points hit!
At 62:54, the point difference came to 8 points, which is the biggest point difference so far in the half game.
Then, Leonard turned around and scored two points in the offense.
The Clippers quickly served the ball from the backcourt. Paul held the ball across half court. Facing Leonard's misplaced defense, he made a continuous dribble and changed direction from the middle to the basket. A beautiful backhook layup!
The Clippers are clearly picking up speed.
The Spurs are still very calm.
Parker used Duncan's pick-and-roll wide-range lateral movement to get rid of the defense, and made a mid-range jumper from the top of the arc.
64:58, the Spurs continued to bite.
But immediately Li Liang lobbed the ball to Griffin after halftime.
Griffin played Split in singles, Sigma stepped in the middle, and dunked with both hands!
The atmosphere of Staples was pushed to the second high point of the field!
Boss Ballmer stood up excitedly, dancing.
The Clippers had such a momentum in the first half, but they were quickly suppressed by the Spurs and turned around.
This is a rhythm change planned by Li Liang and Paul, which is to hit the Spurs and open up the points.
However, if the Spurs can be overwhelmed by these few attacks, the Spurs are not the Spurs.
Popovich didn't call a timeout, and the Spurs continued their team play.
Faced with the Clippers' sudden speed increase, the Spurs did not panic at all and continued to quickly transfer the ball from the outside.
In the end, Green smelled a chance, and the left wing took the ball to the basket, and faced Jordan with an emergency stop jump shot.
Although he didn't make a hit, Jordan was too excited and rushed too hard, knocking Green down and sending Green to the free throw line.
The Spurs' calmness of mind is unmatched by any other team.
After all, their core players have experienced many battles and have encountered all kinds of storms.
To defeat them, relying on one or two attack waves is not enough, you must have the belief of gritting your teeth and fighting to the end, and absolute strength.
The two sides entered an official timeout.
The Clippers replaced Griffin with Odom to strengthen the team's offensive firepower.
The Spurs replaced Ginobili, Diaw and Bonner.
Popovich seemed to have some idea, and Bonner came up with it again.
After returning from the timeout, Green made two free throws and made one, 66:59, 7 points.
Li Liang supported the ball in the high position again. Barnes and Ge completed a cross screen cooperation. Li Liang passed the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner. Barnes first faked the ball and shook Ginobili away. Then he made a three-pointer from the corner and made a hit!
Unremitting passing assists will always usher in rewards, Li Liang and Barnes high-five.
The point difference between the two sides in this game came to 10 points for the first time.
But then, there was a conflict between the two sides on the court.
Odom almost denied Leonard's pass on defense, and the ball rolled out.
Bonner competed with Paul on the bottom line for the floor ball. Bonner took the lead to control the ball, and Li Liang immediately stepped forward to fight with Bonner.
Bonner refused to let go, and then the two staggered directly to the crowd at the bottom line, falling into the reporters and cameras together.
In the playoffs, every inch of land was contested. Both Li Liang and Bonner were holding the ball and refused to let go. Their tempers were on the rise, and they almost scuffled while lying on the ground.
Players from both sides surrounded them, pulled Li Liang and Bonner apart, and pulled them up from the ground.
The referee quickly blew the whistle to separate the two, and then looked back at the video to confirm that although the two had conflicts, they did not hit anyone, and finally ruled a scrimmage.
But Li Liang's side has been pulled out of shape.
Mike Brown has already run forward to appease Li Liang, telling him not to be impulsive.
"I'm fine, fine, fine."
Li Liang took a sip of water by the way, and calmed himself down at the same time.
They have calmed down for most of the time, and they can't ruin the whole game's plan just because of a little conflict.
