Li Liang rested for four days, but he did not go to the sidelines to watch the game.

This is the first time that Li Liang has missed an official game since entering the NBA.

The reason why he doesn't go to the sidelines is simple, because he wants to sleep at home!

Taking advantage of these few days of suspension, Li Liang continued to steadily improve his ability to control the ball and change directions.

He followed Fraser and his friends, wearing championship rings, and training hard.

The ball handling training session this time was longer than Li Liang imagined.

After practicing, Li Liang felt a dull pain in his fingers when he came out of the system.

Zhu Shu doesn't know why Li Liang sleeps so much, but a boyfriend who loves to sleep is better than a boyfriend who likes to go out to eat, drink and have fun, right?

Anyway, Zhu Shu has nothing to do recently, the season is in progress, and the players just need to play steadily, so she nestled in the room and played games, and called Li Liang to get up for dinner when it was time to eat.

In addition to practicing ball control, Li Liang has further improved his core Li Liang.

Because Li Liang wants to make himself more lethal in the three-second zone, in preparation for training his layup ability in the future.

When Li Liang appeared at the Staples Center on February 5, the attentive fans on the sidelines and the Clippers teammates should be able to notice that Li Liang's figure has changed slightly.

He is stronger and stronger.

Of course, this change is very small, and only those who are very familiar with Li Liang can notice it.

Among them is Mike Brown.

When Li Liang was warming up with his teammates on the court, Mike Brown looked left and right at Li Liang and asked, "Bruce, have you been exercising at home?"

Li Liangdao: "Yes, today I have not been idle all day, and I have been seriously exercising every day. I am very diligent."

Mike Brown scratched his chin, thinking to himself, this kid, why does his body change so obviously every time he says he wants to exercise?

Although some people are naturally easy to lose fat and gain muscle, this kid is too fast, right?

Isn't this guy on drugs?

Brown was very concerned about Li Liangna, for fear that he would go astray.

After some side-talking, he felt that it was impossible for Li Liang to use medicine, so he stopped worrying.

The attention of tonight's game is very high, not only because the Heat and the Clippers are currently the two strongest teams in the East and West, but also because this is another strong dialogue between James and Li Liang.

At the beginning of the season, when the two sides played for the first time, Li Liang had just arrived at the Clippers, and the running-in with his teammates was relatively average.

The Clippers were a brittle defeat in that game, they were suppressed from beginning to end, and there was not much room for resistance.

Now that half a season has passed, the tacit understanding between the Clippers players is getting better and better. The only regret is that the Clippers are not fully formed in this game.

But just because the Clippers are not complete and lack a Paul, Li Liang's performance will be even more important.

As for LeBron James, he has been amazing in all aspects this season. From this point of view, it is indeed not easy.

In the summer, despite Riley's opposition, James insisted on losing weight and reducing his time in the paint.

He spent a lot of time working on his shooting and further improving his post-up skills.

In the regular season, James showed a lighter body and a better state.

After losing weight, his style of play is more flexible, and his outside three-point shooting percentage and number of hits have reached career highs.

Although the Heat did not get effective reinforcements in the summer, they also lost Mike Miller, an important three-pointer.

However, James' changes in play have made the Heat more economical and efficient on the offensive end.

The reason why Riley opposes James' weight loss is that he hopes that James can participate more in the interior defense.

Especially when playing against the Pacers, their inside line was almost blown to pieces by the Pacers in the playoffs last season.

But James believes that no matter how much he gains weight, it is impossible to prevent Hibbert and David West inside.

Instead of this, it is better to further improve and strengthen yourself offensively.

Isn't the finals miserable enough by the Lakers' one-step strategy?

In the East, although the Pacers are a threat to the Heat, but James' change of play does not mean that he will not be able to beat the Pacers.

But if James doesn't change his style of play and meets Li Liang's team again, it's really hard to say.

That 60-point game still left a big shadow in LeBron's heart.

In the week after Game 6 of the Finals, James would dream about the Finals almost every night.

In my dreams, I was always blown up by Li Liang's three-pointer, or I couldn't make a three-pointer myself.

James knows that if he doesn't make changes, this shadow will always hang over him.

James is such a player, he is a player who knows how to be flexible and keep pace with the times.

The three-point era is coming, of course he has to make a change in advance instead of continuing to stick to the inside and post-up skills.

What's more, his current back-up ability is enough to deal with the current strikers in the league.

James' change was successful. He also tasted the power of three-pointers, saves effort, and is more efficient.

After the tedious opening ceremony, the game is about to start.

The starting five of both sides stepped onto the court.

The Heat's starting five are Wade, James, Battier, Bosh and Chalmers.

Bosh topped the center position, and Battier was in charge of the power forward position.

The Heat have played a thorough one big and four small, even in the face of the Clippers with Jordan Jr. and Griffin inside the pseudo-twin towers, they still use this lineup.

There is no way, the family has been calling like this on this condition.

Spoelstra also discovered that instead of the previous power forward who was not as tall as Haslem, it would be better to let Battier, who is capable of three-pointers, play to open up space.

At the opening jump ball, Jordan took the lead in winning the ball.

Anyway, Bosh has basically never won a scrimmage. After all, his height is watery, and he mainly relies on his neck to support his height.

On the first goal of the game, Griffin got stuck in the front three-second zone, keeping Bosh stuck behind him.

Li Liang's high-level support promptly passed the ball to Griffin.

Griffin turned and pushed away Bosh, a layup with his left hand.

Griffin used it handy this season for the left-handed layup after turning around.

His positioning skills are getting better and better, and every time Li Liang gives the ball in a high position, he is particularly timely and accurate.

After all, he learned the trick from Dan Issel.

For the Heat, Chalmers dribbled the ball halfway, handed the ball to James, and James gave Wade.

After Wade got the ball on the right side, he passed Barnes with a cross-step feint. After killing the basket, he evaded Collison's supplementary defense. He made a backhand layup and scored two points.

As the starting shooting guard, Barnes has done a good job in supplementary defense, rebounding and top defense against the inside, but the effect is not good against fast explosive guards.

For example, Wade, who accelerated after a feint, wiped out Barnes completely.

Li Liangren was facing James on the left, and Jordan was pulled out by Bosh on the inside, and Collison turned out to be the defense in the end.

Collison's defensive effect is stronger than Paul's, and it's the same as nothing.

Wade didn't make a slam dunk, that's because he was old and not strong!

After the Heat scored a goal, the Clippers left for a quick counterattack, and Barnes made a quick serve.

Collison dribbled two steps after receiving the ball and made a long pass to the frontcourt. Griffin tried to accelerate to the basket without success.

After slowing down, a pass was passed back to Li Liang who was in the middle.

Li Liang caught the ball and went straight to the basket, and he was about to make a layup!

He makes a sudden stop and is about to hit a jumper from close range.

Li Liang used this move very smoothly. Basically, every defender who followed up and wanted to give him a cap would be swayed.

Then he watched Li Liang shake his hand lightly and score a goal.

But this time, Li Liang miscalculated.

James, who was following Li Liang, thought that Li Liang would make an emergency stop for a jump shot, and then braked the car, and then blocked Li Liang's jump shot with a big cap in front of him!

Battier gets the ball and hands it to James, who dribbles quickly across half court to launch a counterattack.

Outside the three-point line, James suddenly made a pass without looking at people. With a slight flick of his wrist, a diagonal shot was passed to Chalmers who was going to the basket.

Chalmers made a layup and scored two points.

It can be seen that James tonight came prepared.
