To be honest, there is one thing to say, and in all fairness, if you don't brag, you can't criticize. As a coach, Li Liang's operation at the last moment was a bit too much.

In order to realize the Flag he set up, he even used penalty kick tactics, abruptly rushed his own score to more than 130, and once again nailed the Clippers to the pillar of shame.

In the NBA playoffs for so many years, it is also one of the few times that opponents scored 130 points in regular time.

Counting overtime is probably not much.

The Kings showed strong firepower tonight.

Li Liang scored 40 points, most of his points came in the first half.

The Kings hit 17 three-pointers in the game, of which Gordon felt hot and hit 7 three-pointers, creating his own record for three-pointers in the playoffs.

Tucker, Gay, Rondo, Barnes, and even Cousins ​​all scored three points.

The Clippers exposed their huge defensive loopholes in the defense, and the Kings continued to use them to break through and tear open the defensive space in the bottom corner. Tucker, Gay, and Barnes all hit the Clippers with three-pointers from the bottom corner .

The Clippers, which had a decent regular season, suffered a major loss in the playoffs.

After the game, at the press conference, the Clippers players were absent collectively, and only Rivers participated.

Rivers was obviously dissatisfied with Li Liang's "penalty shootout" at the last moment.

"I think it's against the spirit of competitive sport, it's not right."

The old man was obviously very angry. After all, he was an old colleague, so why didn't he give him any face?

And Li Liang said at the press conference, "I am paying tribute to Coach Rivers. I think his free throw tactics at the last moment are unsolvable. I proved this tonight."

Indeed, Rivers' "penalty shootout" is really a bit unsolvable when he is leading at the last moment.

From the invention to the present, as long as you are led by the Clippers by more than 3 points in the last minute, you will lose and it is impossible to comeback.

As a result, when Li Liang was sure to win, he used this tactic abruptly to realize his own Flag and blast the score to more than 130 points.

The Clippers players were quite angry, but it's useless for you to be angry.

Li Liang's prediction on Twitter has come true, and the number of likes and retweets is even more astonishing.

Tang Laozhuang even forwarded the comment again, "Words must be practiced, my God!"

On shaping public opinion, Li Liang is really a talent.

If he didn't have a system that fell from the sky, it would not be a problem to become a marketing master after graduation.

In the United States, sell and sell success studies, engage in hype, return to China with a layer of skin, and write a book such as "My Success Can Be Copy", "250 Secrets of American Success", and so on. It is estimated that it will also become a legend in the marketing industry. .

Of course, inheriting the family business and becoming a tractor king is definitely not a problem.

Except for this game, the home team has won the other games.

The Warriors easily defeated the Trail Blazers. For the strong teams, the first round was just a warm-up.

Like LeBron James, he has never fallen in the first round of his career, and his strength is really extremely strong and stable.

Of course, Li Liang, who is more powerful, has never lost in the finals in his career.

...

Two days later, in the rematch between the Kings and the Clippers, the Clippers came with a strong will to revenge.

However, in the center of the Golden One, the Clippers still failed to overthrow the Kings.

In this game, the two sides played quite fiercely. In the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Clippers still led the Kings by 3 points.

Seeing that it will be delayed for a while, Rivers will start the "penalty shootout" mode.

Li Liang called a timeout, replaced Cousins, and adopted a five-small lineup.

The combination of Li Liang, Gordon, Tucker, Rondo and Gay.

This time, you don't need Mike Brown to remind me to play center, I, Li Liang, came to the center position myself!

Of course, it is not impossible for Rondo to play center.

Li Liang practiced this five-small lineup many times during training, and used it in some games during the regular season, but not much.

The sudden use this time caught the Clippers off guard.

The Kings successfully played a 13:2 offensive shock wave, smashing the Clippers in one fell swoop in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter.

The five small lineups were originally a trend brought about by the Warriors in the 15th season, but they were taught by the Pacers' five small teams in the finals.

After that, the fifth junior disappeared from the league.

It can be said that the existence of Li Liang has caused a little twists and turns in the trend of basketball development.

But soon, when he became a coach, he realized the absolute advantage of a small lineup in the current NBA rules and trends.

Space, three-pointers, this is what every team is emphasizing, and it is also allowed by the rules.

Because the NBA needs to make the game look better.

Therefore, Li Liang has been secretly preparing a small lineup belonging to the Kings.

The Kings have good capital to play a small lineup, as long as there is Li Liang, the panacea.

On the defensive end, he can complete the task of protecting the basket relatively well, and the huge three-point threat in the offense basically destroys the opponent's inside line.

Gordon, Gay, and Rondo all have the ability to solve problems on the offensive end by themselves. It can be said that this is a replica of the Pacers' five juniors.

This wave of five small offenses overturned the Clippers and gave the Kings a 2:0 lead.

In the next game, the two sides will move to Los Angeles, and the Clippers hope to find some ground at home.

Can't be swept 4:0, right?

As a result, the third game between the two sides started at Staples, and an accident occurred in the first quarter of the game.

Paul got rid of Rondo's defense during a dribble, and as a result, there was a problem with his hand without confrontation.

As soon as Paul threw the ball in his hand, he covered his hands and left the court through the player channel.

His own body knows best. He knows that if a part of his hand is broken, his season is over.

Chris Paul is very unwilling, very unwilling. Could it be that without Bruce Lee, he really can't even make it to the Western Conference Finals?

But the facts are like this. When Bruce Lee was there, the Clippers were simply brilliant. The second team with 70 wins, the strongest offense in the league, swept the league like a catastrophe.

And as soon as he left, the Clippers degenerated into a pseudo-strong team.

Paul wants to prove himself, but unfortunately, fate always does not favor him.

As he left the court, he looked up at the ceiling, the only championship banner hanging over the Staples Center.

In that banner, there are also his dedication and contributions, so that he can get a little peace of mind.

Paul didn't know that if he drank the glass of water that Li Liang handed him, everything might be different.

Without Chris Paul, the Clippers completely lost the capital to compete with the Kings.

Of course, the Clippers did not lose the courage and desire to continue fighting.

Rivers Jr. came on as a substitute for Paul and fought tenaciously with the Kings at the Staples Center.

However, the opponent was too strong, and Li Liang didn't give the Clippers any chance at all.

He and Rondo's pick-and-roll cooperation is basically unsolvable without strong wing defenders to assist in the defense.

In this battle, Li Liang scored 40 points to help the Kings defeat the Clippers, and the series took an absolute lead of 3:0.

After the game, Chris Paul underwent an MRI examination, which confirmed a torn ligament in the palm of his left hand and missed all subsequent games.

There is no doubt that the Clippers' season is over again.

I thought it would cause a little trouble for the Kings in the first round, but...

In the fourth game, Li Liang showed no mercy and took advantage of the away game to score another 37 points in a single game, helping the Kings sweep the Clippers 4-0 and advance to the second round.

Sweep, sweep again.
