The Clippers beat the Thunder at home.

This game made many people see that when the potential of the Clippers lineup is tapped, their energy is terrifying.

Of course, the changes brought about by Mike Brown are not just "let him shoot" as Li Liang said.

His targeted changes in rotation and defensive tactics have made the Clippers' defense more stable.

In this fight against Thunder, from the beginning to the end, Thunder almost didn't make any waves.

Of course there are reasons for Westbrook's poor state, but you must know that this is the Thunder, the most passionate and energetic team in the league.

Just like the name of their team, once they start and play smoothly, the offense is really thunderous, the kind that can take away the opponent in one wave.

As a result, there was only thunder but no rain, and the offensive end did not cooperate very smoothly from the beginning to the end, and the common combination punches in the past were even gone.

The score seems to be a lot, 100 points, which is based on the relatively fast pace of the game as a whole.

They have been behind since the first quarter, and they didn't even get a chance to overtake.

After all, the Thunder entered the Western Conference finals last season, and the two core talents in the team are full of talents.

The whole team is united and the defense is strong. It is an out-and-out team.

As a result, they were so suppressed by the Clippers and couldn't turn over. How can people not marvel at the current strength of the Clippers?

Many people even said, "Mike Brown is the best signing of the season", "The Lakers sent the best assists" and other jokes.

The ridicule is ridicule, the change of the Clippers is really immediate.

Two days later, the Clippers continued to play at home, and they ushered in the Eastern Conference rival Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets moved to Brooklyn last season for a makeover and made it to the playoffs, where they were eliminated in the first round.

This year the Nets once again ushered in earth-shaking changes. After changing to a new Russian boss, they completed a shocking deal in the summer, and the opponent was the Celtics.

The Celtics sent Pierce, Garnett, Terry and D-J-White to the Nets, and they got Gerald Wallace, Humphries, Marshan Brooks, Joseph and Bogans 5 players .

But what the Celtics are really looking at is the Nets' three first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018, in addition to the swap rights for the 2017 first-round pick.

This deal can be said to bet on the Nets' five-year future for one or two seasons.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge deserves to be a well-known shrewd man in the NBA.

In 2007, Garnett and Ray Allen, who were traded to the tail of the peak, won a championship for the Celtics and maintained their competitiveness for five years.

Five years have passed, and seeing the veterans fail, they found the Nets to be taken advantage of and take over, in exchange for five years of draft picks. This operation is really eye-catching.

Of course, the so-called impermanence of the world, five years may be an era for the NBA, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

The Nets have the so-called "Big Five" at once, and of course they need a head coach worthy of this lineup.

After thinking about it, Nets general manager Billy King invited Kidd, a former Nets hero who just retired this year.

Jason Kidd, who was still playing for the Knicks last season, was reemployed in Brooklyn.

Kidd has always been one of the representatives of "golf quotient" players in the league.

He does have a very strong game influence on the court. In the Knicks last season, he has reached the last year of his career and basically has no scoring ability.

But in the regular season, he can still use his passing to affect the team, helping Carmelo Anthony usher in the second best season after 2009, and ranked third in the regular season MVP selection.

It's just that in the playoffs, Kidd was really cheap. In the Eastern Conference playoffs, he started from the third game, that is, from Boston's North Shore Garden, until he was eliminated in Indiana in the last game. He didn't score 1 point in the game.

Not even 1 point!

I can do it for me!

10 zero eggs fully shows that Kidd is really old, and he can't accept his old age.

After retiring, the former club, the Nets, extended an olive branch to Kidd and hired him as the team's head coach.

However, in NBA history, there are not many successful cases of well-known point guards as head coaches.

In people's perception, the point guard is the brain on the field, and the coach is the brain off the field.

Now that the brain on the court has changed to the brain off the court, it should be no different.

But in fact it is very different.

For example, Magic Johnson, the magician on the court, the embalmer off the court-collecting the team's corpse.

There is also Isiah Thomas, who is a smiling assassin on the court and a Sima assassin off the court. The team record makes him unable to laugh at all.

Others, like Rivers, were also point guards in the player era, but he is a second-round pick and an excellent player, but compared with Magician, Thomas, and Kidd, his status is too different.

Among the star-level point guards, the more successful coach is Lenny Wilkens.

Wilkens is also not very visible among star players.

Therefore, there are still many doubts about whether Kidd can successfully take charge of the Nets and help the Nets regain their glory at the beginning of the century.

At least after the start of the new season, the Nets did not play very well, with a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, and a winning percentage of less than half.

Among them is the reason why the team's core guard Deron Williams is absent due to injury.

Of course, just taking over the team as a coach, Kidd has a lot of work to do.

The Nets' own lineup is average, and they also injured two generals, Williams and Lopez.

No matter how awesome Kidd is, he can't take off his suit and play instead of Williams, right?

Besides, his current scoring ability is useless.

In this match against the Clippers, the Nets are more or less fortunate.

For the Clippers, during the two days of rest, the whole team was not idle.

Mike Brown continued to work on the new rotation and defensive lineup, injecting defensive blood into the team.

Brown does have ideas.

On the bench last season, Brown often had discussions and dialogues with Li Liang on some tactical issues.

Li Liang usually asks questions and Brown answers, and the process of answering is also Brown's thinking process.

As if Socrates communicated with his disciple Plato to burst out the spark of wisdom, in the process, Brown felt that he also had a new perspective on defense.

It's a pity that he has no room to display in the Lakers. He is rotten like that, so there is nothing to guard against.

In the Clippers, Brown is experimenting with his new ideas on the defensive end a little bit.

He wants to improve the past "iron and blood" defense that overemphasized confrontation and rhythm, and switch to a defensive strategy that is more in line with the tactical characteristics of the current teams.

Of course, this process will be relatively long, and there may be no effect in a short time.

On the night of the 16th, the Clippers played against the Nets at home.

Everyone thinks that this is a game without much suspense.

Because the Nets' players are really incomplete, only one of the top five players is on tonight.

Williams and Lopez did not enter the roster due to injury, while Garnett and Pierce are on rotation.

It is estimated that the Nets also feel that they can't beat the Clippers at all. They just played back-to-back away games and narrowly beat the Suns by two points.

So in the second back-to-back game, the veteran was chosen to rest.

As a result, after the start of the game, the Nets took the initiative from the first quarter, and the score was always tied with the Clippers.

There is only one reason for the Nets to play well, that is, the players are very hard-working.

Such a game with the main players resting must be an opportunity for the substitute players to fully express themselves.

If you perform well, you can earn a rotation position, increase playing time, and accumulate statistics.

Maybe one day you will get more opportunities to change your destiny.

Therefore, as long as there is no brain problem, people who play in the NBA will cherish every minute they get to play, and are always ready to burst out their brilliance and energy.

There are many inspirational stories about playing outstanding performance through this kind of opportunity and finally gaining a foothold in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin is one of the most exciting of them all.

The mentality of the Nets generals tonight is the same. Anyway, there is no burden, just desperate.

Desperately grab offensive rebounds, desperately defend, desperately seize every offensive opportunity.

The Clippers, who had been resting for two days, were obviously a bit careless, especially Li Liang started with two three-pointers, which made people feel that the Clippers were about to penetrate the Nets in the next wave.

Unexpectedly, the Nets were very tenacious. In the middle, they withstood the pressure of consecutive missed shots. They worked hard on the defensive end and did not let the Clippers open the score.

In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, the Nets even played a wave of 10:3 attacks, tying the score in one fell swoop.

During this period of time, Li Liang was resting off the court, but even if he was on the court, there was nothing wrong with it. The Nets suddenly felt a touch from the outside, and they couldn't stop it.

In the second quarter, the Nets attacked even more fiercely, and Plumlee and Blatche succeeded in consecutive strong attacks in the interior.

After Li Liang came on the court, he couldn't contain this situation. He wasn't the kind of insider who went up and blocked two shots so that no one dared to enter.

The momentum of the Nets is obvious, and what the Clippers can do is to continue to score on the offensive end.

At this time, Paul stepped forward, first hit a three-pointer, and then assisted Li Liang for a layup.

In the last minute, Paul assisted Griffin again. After a successful layup, Plumlee fouled and an additional penalty was added.

In this way, the two sides tied into the second half.

In the second half, the Clippers fans thought that the Clippers were going to kill the Nets in a wave, but they didn't know that the Nets took the lead.

Relying on Alan Anderson's two consecutive three-pointers, the Nets beat the Clippers to a 10:0 spurt and took the lead!

This kind of defense made Li Liang angrily scold everyone during the timeout!

In the last game against Thunder, they did a good job in all aspects, but this time they relax, and as soon as they relax, they send out waves of attacks.

"At every moment, the defense must be focused at all times! Every moment!"

The Clippers team is indeed young and talented, but the team's style of play is really a little frivolous, easy to get angry and discouraged.

The team temperament really exists, and Li Liang feels it is particularly obvious after staying in two teams in Los Angeles.

Although the Lakers are poor, the boss works, and the training hall is broken, but wearing the Lakers jersey, people are easily motivated and focused.

And the Clippers... Playing here seems to always feel like a mistress who is being taken care of. It doesn't matter whether you play well or not, as long as you are beautiful.

Li Liang couldn't bear this state, so he turned on his hair dryer almost anytime and anywhere.

Cursing is definitely not enough. After the timeout ended, Li Liang stood up.

When the team fell into a scoring shortage, they first rushed to the basket with the ball one-on-one, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

Then the defensive end steals Anderson and hits a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Paul in the counterattack.

Then he sat under the basket, interfered with Brac's layup, and gave the rebound to his teammates.

During the counterattack, slipped to the bottom corner, received a pass from Crawford, and scored another three-pointer.

Kidd called a timeout, but to no avail.

After returning, Li Liang assisted Crawford for a layup.

At the same time, the Clippers' defense finally came together, forcing the Nets to make a hasty shot from the outside.

In the counterattack, Paul used the double cover of Jordan and Li Liang to reach the inside line and make a layup.

Immediately afterwards, Li Liang and Barnes launched a low-court press, causing the Nets to make a serve error.

Li Liang throws high and assists Jordan with a dunk!

This wave of offense made the Nets rub their hands too hard, and their mentality changed suddenly.

After the momentum of the substitute players was removed, the offense on the field became chaotic.

Alan Anderson missed a three-pointer and a long rebound. After Li Liang won it, he held the ball and launched a fast break.

He dribbled the ball to the basket by himself, made an emergency stop after reaching the basket, added a retreat, and succeeded in hitting the board at close range!

16:0!

Under the leadership of Li Liang, the Clippers beat the Nets 16:0 in just over 3 minutes!

Overtake the score in one fell swoop!

The Nets can only call a second timeout in a row, which can't be beat.

Now, Li Liang felt comfortable and happy on the bench.

"Stand on the court and give your best every moment. If you want to rest, sit on the court and rest. The court is not a place for you to rest!"

Director Li did not forget to continue to educate the Clippers players.

He doesn't believe that after one season, he can not correct the Clippers' style of play.
