At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers fell into a scoring drought.

Griffin led the Clippers' second unit on the court against the Heat's second unit, but he couldn't catch the ball.

The Heat's strong oppressive defense on the outside makes it difficult to transfer the ball.

And the referee's whistle is very tight tonight, and the whistle is very strict on offense and defense.

The Heat were called for two defensive fouls, but the Clippers also had two offenses.

This kind of repeated whistle blows the game to pieces, making the Clippers' fast offense completely impossible.

The Heat's offense also played mediocre. Wade rushed to the basket with the ball, turned around and went in, and then threw the basket. Under the interference of the Clippers players, he missed a hit.

The ball seemed to hit Wade in the face, but the referee didn't blow his whistle.

Maybe it was just because the whistle blew too frequently just now, and the referee didn't blow the whistle because the audience would probably smash eggs.

The Clippers launched a counterattack again.

Griffin dribbled the ball all the way to the basket for a layup, and was fouled by Birdman Anderson from behind, and he flew out of the baseline.

This time the referee's whistle blew, and Griffin flew out and fell to the ground. If he didn't blow the whistle, he would be thrown eggs by the audience.

Refereeing is really difficult.

And Griffin is also an honest man. Although he was fouled hard enough by Anderson, he didn't say anything. After being pulled up by his teammates, he walked towards the free throw line.

If the ball should be replaced by Li Liang, I am afraid that Anderson will be scolded.

And Anderson has played in China, so he should be able to understand Chinese. Li Liang will definitely want to greet Anderson, and let him miss the good times in Nanjing.

As a result, Griffin missed two free throws!

Damn, you're useless if I give you a chance!

Li Liang's head hurts watching it off the court.

In front of the average team, Griffin performed very well when leading the second team.

As a result, playing against a super-strong team like the Heat today showed its true colors.

To put it bluntly, the hands are not hard enough.

In a high-intensity confrontation, the success rate of the attack dropped significantly.

And as an insider, he has an inherent disadvantage in attacking with the ball, and it is not easy to receive the ball.

Just got the ball, Griffin realized this, so he took the ball and killed the basket.

In the end, you missed the free throw, so how can you take on such a big responsibility?

However, the Clippers' defense is pretty good, withstood the Heat's offense, and did not let the Heat open the gap.

Rea missed a three-pointer after catching the ball from the outside, and the Clippers got a backcourt rebound and counterattacked.

Griffin is still stuck in the low post and wants the ball, and Anderson is still defending him.

The two engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle in the low post, and Anderson was called for a defensive foul.

But Rivers was not satisfied on the sidelines. He believed that the Heat were suspected of fouling Griffin's defensive actions before. Why did they call fouls until now?

Of course the referee didn't buy it. I've already called enough fouls, and I'm already controlling the players' movements. Are you still beeping?

Alright, beep beep again, a technical foul for you.

Still beeping, I'm going to send you back to the locker room to take a shower.

Rivers was called a technical foul, and Ray Allen went to the free throw line and made a free throw.

Rivers, who was called a technical offender, returned to the bench. Li Liang said, "Old Li, don't get excited. What's the use of scolding? Don't worry, watch me scold later."

Rivers nodded helplessly. He recently discovered that the referees were always a little too strict on the whistle of the Clippers. He didn't know if it had something to do with Li Liang.

When a new president takes office, he always has to praise some stars and overwhelm some stars. This has always been the unspoken rule of the league.

Business alliances need to make stars.

For example, before LeBron James left the Cavaliers for the Heat, the referee was obviously more caring on the whistle.

At that time, James' offensive skills were still flawed, and some offensive steps were not very clean.

Including the layup that killed the Wizards in the playoffs, it is still full of controversy.

But after he made the decision to go to the Heat, this kind of care disappeared, at least not always mentioned.

On the contrary, what James is often mentioned now is that he will not give a whistle if he gets into the inside and is beaten to death.

Now Li Liang is following James in the MVP rankings, and with his performance, there is a faint tendency to become the top player in the league.

However, it sounds incredible that a Chinese player has become the number one player in the NBA.

Rivers wondered if the league intended to suppress Li Liang and the Clippers.

Especially Li Liang's press conference some time ago caused a big crisis of public opinion in the NBA and made Xiao Hua break out in a cold sweat.

This is also very rare in the history of the NBA. It is comparable to Bob Cousy who led the players to strike at the All-Star Game and asked the league to formulate a better retirement policy for the players.

Li Liang is more free-wheeling on the court, and Rivers is really worried that Li Liang will be treated unfavorably in the following games.

The game of basketball, to be honest, is still very much affected by the referee's penalty.

A brilliant referee can definitely decide the outcome of a game without violating the rules.

With this concern, Rivers looked at the time, 4 minutes into the second quarter, and called a timeout.

The score between the Clippers and the Heat is 38:34.

The Clippers scored a total of 6 points. If Crawford hadn't just made a three-pointer, the Clippers would have scored even lower.

The Clippers' fast offense was not played at all, and the positional battle did not play Griffin's role.

Crawford's three-pointers rely entirely on his personal ability, and he made a dry shot from the outside.

There is no doubt that the Clippers' offense was contained by the Heat and they got into a lot of trouble.

During the timeout, Rivers emphasized that the players should speed up the transfer of the ball, reduce fouls, and at the same time reduce the speed of the game appropriately.

Rivers specifically asked Li Liang to pay attention to fouls and not to get into foul trouble.

Li Liang nodded. He really needs to pay attention to the foul problem recently.

The game restarted, and as soon as it came up, Crawford caught the ball from the outside and made a quick three-pointer!

Go in!

Crawford feels hot, and he can catch and shoot the ball.

He doesn't care whether there is defense in front of him, he throws the ball when he holds it, and he scores when he throws it.

When your offensive tactics can't be played, players like Crawford can save lives.

Immediately afterwards, the Heat once again played a beautiful air-cut tactic on the offensive end. Wade cut to the basket, James passed the ball, and Wade caught the ball with a backhand layup.

In the end, he was blocked by Li Liang!

Li Liang came up from behind, tapped the ball lightly, and knocked the ball out of Wade's hands.

Then Li Liang received the ball, and the Clippers launched a counterattack.

Li Liang didn't listen to Rivers' arrangement at all, so he slowed down and set up positions slowly.

Playing a cat's position, playing a position is the current configuration of the Clippers, how could it be possible to play against the Heat without Paul?

For the Clippers to win this game, they must play fast, forcibly play fast, and bring up the rhythm.

The NBA game is like this. Teams with different styles must stick to their own styles.

Whoever can stick to his own style and play it out will win the game.

Therefore, Li Liang made a super long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Griffin was still the forward forward.

The pass was quite precise. Griffin didn't dribble after receiving the ball, and directly stepped to kill the basket and made a layup!

The ball rushed too hard, and Griffin rushed out of the baseline after scoring a goal.

As soon as the goal was scored, it was the Heat's turn to call a timeout, and the difference between the two sides was evened out.

However, the timeout did not help the Heat. The Heat's routine in the offensive position was seen through by the Clippers, or by Li Liang.

Their cut was no longer effective. After the timeout, Chalmers tried to cut again, but was intercepted by Li Liang.

Subsequently, Li Liang passed the ball to Crawford, and Crawford's jumper caused Battier's foul and went to the free throw line.

Crawford played very well in the second quarter and has scored 8 points in a row after making a free throw.

When Crawford was hot, Li Liang didn't hesitate to pass the ball to him for assists.

The Clippers are slowly turning the momentum around.

Their defense slowly condensed, under Li Liang's command.

The Heat moved the ball very quickly, but they still couldn't find a good shot.

In the end, Bosh missed a forced shot from outside.

The Heat got the offensive rebound, Cole handed the ball to James, James took the ball and then forced a breakthrough again.

But his breakthrough was blocked by Li Liang, and he jumped into the three-second zone, but he didn't have a chance to make a move.

He wanted to pass the ball, but found that the passing line was blocked, he threw it casually, and was intercepted by Li Liang!

The Clippers launched a fast break again!

Li Liang passed the ball to Collison, and Collison quickly crossed the half with the ball.

Griffin rushed to the basket like a small forward, Collison made a high throw, Griffin made an alley-oop, and smashed the basket violently!

The Clippers now completely use Griffin as a small forward and Li Liang as a power forward, and the effect is surprisingly good.

Li Liang's defensive and organizational influence greatly compensated for Griffin's shortcomings, allowing Griffin to give full play to his offensive and athletic advantages and concentrate on scoring.

In the absence of Li Liang, Griffin was exhausted from scoring in the interior.

With Li Liang, it was much easier to fight back.

In this case, Wade stood up for the Heat.

He received a pass from James from the outside, broke through the middle and hit the inside, and successfully dunked with one hand!

When the team needed to score, James still chose to believe in his teammates and Wade's opportunity instead of standing up to take over the game.

This ball needs to be exchanged for Kobe, so it would be strange if he didn't make a bang bang.

And Li Liang, like James, kept playing for Crawford and Griffin.

On this point, the two are very consistent, fighting a proxy war.
