Every time he plays against the Kings, Cousins ​​always contributes a bit of performance.

Either it is a "technical foul display", or a "bitterness and hatred expression package", or "human being covered essence".

Anyway, Li Liang always felt very happy playing against Cousins, which can be regarded as a kind of entertainment and relaxation.

But tonight Cousins ​​​​actually played quite well, using his weight, wingspan, and dribbling skills to keep hitting the inside, causing huge trouble for the Clippers' inside.

And the Kings have set a good example for other teams. Don't think that the Clippers are afraid of them because they seem to have a strong inside defense. Good hit against the Clippers' defense.

Because the Clippers' outside defensive ability is relatively poor, Mike Brown starting with Barnes has largely alleviated this problem.

But once Barnes is off and Crawford is on, the Clippers' two backcourt defenses, rebound protection, and defense are almost the same as none.

The burden on Li Liang and Jordan will be very heavy.

If the opponent continues to attack, like a battering ram, there will always be holes and cracks.

On the Clippers' bench, there is no second tough inside defender who can replace Jordan and Li Liang.

Moreover, Li Liang is still half inside, and sometimes he has to defend the opponent's arrows and help defend against double leaks in the backcourt.

If he falls into a foul crisis or is targeted, the Clippers' defense will definitely have problems.

It can only be said that Mike Brown's expectations and demands on Li Liang are too high, and the position and tasks assigned to him are at the level of the best defensive player.

A defender at the best defensive player level not only needs to defend against the opponent's offense in one or two rounds or for a period of time, but also to be able to clearly show the See the effective containment of the opponent's attack.

This kind of standard, even if Li Liang asked himself, he felt that he could not meet it.

But Mike Brown thinks Li Liang can.

Why, I'm used to it.

Li Liang can learn it just by moving his mouth, isn't it simple and easy?

How did Mike Brown know how much sweat and wisdom Li Liang had to put into the system.

It was relatively easy to practice earlier, but now with the increase in ability value, the task becomes more and more difficult.

Brown asked Li Liangduo to practice the inside defense, and Li Liang felt the pressure from the opponent's inside.

If he really wants to make a greater contribution to the defense of the 4th position, his current [Basic Inside Defense Ability] value is not enough.

The last time I did the task of [basic internal defensive ability] was to deal with Duncan.

At that time, in order to complete this task, Li Liang worked hard, spent a lot of time, and did a lot of other tasks to complete it.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to complete the tasks in the City of Angels book.

After returning home from the game against the king, Li Liangjin systematically took a look at the second volume of the City of Angels book. The task of [Lame Old Captain] was related to Bill Wharton, and the opponent was the Nima Lakers!

Hey, the Clippers are such a bad team, the mission is to either fight the Celtics or the Lakers.

It can only be said that if you want to stand up, you can only step on the corpse of the former king.

Li Liang thought about it, and decided to take time to continue improving his inside defense ability, and then completed the task of the book of the city of angels.

After all, there is another skill that can be acquired.

However, the NBA schedule is very dense, and Li Liang has no time to do tasks for the time being.

On the second day after the game against the Kings, on November 24, the Clippers ushered in the second back-to-back game at home against the Chicago Bulls.

This game was originally a much-watched duel because it involved two super point guards-Chris Paul and Derrick Rose.

In the current NBA, excellent point guards and combo guards emerge in endlessly. In the six years from 2008 to 2013, the No. 1 pick in three years was a point guard.

In other picks, Curry, Westbrook, Holiday and a number of excellent No. 1 positions have also emerged.

And their origin can be said to be the 2008 No. 1 pick Rose.

Before Rose, the last point guard No. 1 pick dates back to Allen Iverson in 1996.

After Iverson, in the ten years from 1997 to 2007, the No. 1 pick was almost dominated by center and power forward players. The only exception was LeBron James, who was also a small forward.

The arrival and success of Rose, to a certain extent, has played a demonstration role for the point guard behind him to be valued.

It's just that the injury in the 2012 playoffs changed everything.

After missing the entire season for 13 years, Rose paid this season, and his performance was greatly reduced compared to the MVP season.

However, what is even more deadly is that Rose was injured again in the last Bulls game against the Portland Trail Blazers!

Portlanders, you guys are already miserable enough. How can you be unlucky if you play with you?

In the third quarter, Rose relapsed from an old injury, suffered unbearable knee pain, and finally left the court on crutches.

Needless to say, there are more bad luck than good luck.

Because of Rose's injury, the Bulls' championship plans will be affected again. I don't know how much patience they have left for Rose.

Faced with Rose's situation, Li Liang paid more attention to his equipment.

If the socks are stinky, let it be smelly, if the knee pads are ugly, then let it be ugly. Apart from winning, what else is more important than health?

What was originally a point guard matchup that attracted the attention of the United States suddenly became a bit dull.

The Bulls lost Rose all at once, not just a No. 1 pick, an MVP, and a core point guard.

What they lost was the hope gathered by patiently waiting for more than a season, and the suffocating despair that followed.

This kind of despair has been experienced by Chinese fans in Yao Ming.

Many people know that Rose is injured again, and it is likely that he will never be able to return to his peak state.

The once windy city rose may wither in the rose garden.

The morale of the Bulls team suffered a huge blow and impact.

For a defensive team, morale is very, very important.

Under the leadership of Thibodeau, the Bulls are taking the defensive line of iron and blood.

Every night, their players must maintain a lot of passion on the defensive end in order to play excellent defense.

Now that the hope of the championship is gone again, how can the passion last forever?

On the night of the 24th, at Staples, the Underdog Bulls faced the Clippers, who were in good shape and had an excellent lineup.

The so-called mourning soldier must win, but the bull, a mourning soldier, lacks the belief that he must win.

For one thing, this is the regular season, not the playoffs, and it's the beginning of the season.

Second, a chain reaction of Rose's injury is that the Bulls are likely to rebuild ahead of schedule.

In the 24 hours since Rose's injury, there have been many trade rumors circulating in the media.

Luol Deng, Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer were all involved in the rumors.

In such a situation, the team is of course not easy to lead.

In the middle of the game, it turned out that Rose's substitute Hinrich replaced the starter. Hinrich is a qualified point guard, but on both ends of the offense and defense, there is no way to give Paul enough pressure anyway.

At the beginning of the game, Li Liang received a pass from Paul from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Li Liang scored a three-pointer in the opening game, which is not good news for any team.

The Bulls obviously lacked preparation before the game, and neither the coach nor the players made careful arrangements.

Generally speaking, the Bulls' defensive line has at least three layers, one outside, one in the middle, and one under the basket in the three-second zone.

In this game, Paul, Griffin, and Li Liang can basically get a chance after one or two pick-and-rolls.

Paul's pass is so precise and Li Liang's touch is very good.

Li Liang made 3 three-pointers in the first quarter, leading the Clippers to lead the Bulls by 11 points at 35:24 in the first quarter.

The point difference has reached double digits so quickly. For a defensive team like the Bulls, it is too difficult to chase points.

In the second quarter, the Clippers played more and more smoothly. Except for Li Liang, Crawford, Collison and even Griffin all started to hit three-pointers.

For the Clippers team, in the past, if you had to say that there were not many people who gave charcoal in the snow, it was common to send shit in the snow, and the icing on the cake was very good.

In the face of the Bulls, who have lost their morale, once they lead by a lot, the players are like bloodthirsty sharks desperately going forward to grab their flesh and blood.

The one who rushed to the front... Of course the one who rushed to the front was Li Liang!

After finally finding an opportunity to swipe data, how could Li Liang miss it? Was it easy for him?

In the third quarter, Li Liang and Jamison, the two former Lakers players, began chasing the Bulls.

Jamison knew Li Liang's temperament, and cooperated with Li Liang very well on the court. The pass from Li Liang was a catch-and-shoot, which was regarded as an assist for Li Liang.

After Li Liang finished the third quarter, he already had 11 assists.

What he wants now is assists, because it is difficult for him to score 60 points in a game.

The point difference between the two sides has widened to nearly 30 points.

Before the start of the third quarter, the score was 97:68, a full 29 points.

The entire final quarter turned into garbage time.

Will Li Liang let go of his chance to become king?

Even if Rivers doesn't want him to play, Li Liang will ask to play with a gun to Rivers' head.

Paul scored 11 points and 7 assists in three quarters, mediocre data.

Because Paul just wants to win, he doesn't want to collect assists.

Li Liang said to Paul before going on the court, "Chris, look at the point difference. It's 29 points, half, and the remaining half. Do you want me to help you finish it?"

Paul looked at Li Liang, this guy is inexplicable, half of what, what is he trying to accomplish?

Before he had time to think about it, Li Liang had already appeared on the stage wearing the medal of the Garbage King!

The king of garbage is really a king of heaven, completely controlling the garbage time!

During his playing time in the fourth quarter, Li Liang scored 9 points and sent 10 assists.

In the end, it helped the Clippers beat the Bulls by 131:88 at home with a huge advantage of 43 points.

Li Liang scored 28 points and 21 assists in double 20 data.

At the same time, in order to avoid a triple-double, Li Liang frantically conceded rebounds and only grabbed 5 rebounds.

Therefore, Li Liang successfully obtained the achievement [The First Double Twenty] and got a chance to draw a lottery.

However, at the end of the game, Li Liang was still a little frustrated. He walked up to Paul and said, "I'm sorry, Pao, I failed to complete the task. How do you think it was done? Ah? It's still in the playoffs..."

Paul didn't want to pay attention to Li Liang anymore, gave Li Liang a supercilious look, and exited the court!
