Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Chapter 503: Still That Formula and Taste

On the night of February 12, the Portland Trail Blazers challenged the Los Angeles Clippers away.

This is the last game before the All-Star Game. After this game, the NBA will enter the All-Star Weekend.

With his super personal performance, his victory against James before the All-Star game, and the help of Chinese fans, Li Liang is currently far ahead in the All-Star voting, ranking first.

Needless to say, Li Liang will surely enter the All-Star starting this time.

Poor Blake Griffin, last season was squeezed out of the All-Star starting position by Li Liang, and he will be squeezed out again this season.

How to say it last season, there were still many people complaining about Griffin, thinking that Li Liang's entry into the starting lineup was blessed by the status of a Chinese player.

This season Li Liang deserves his title as the All-Star starter.

Now that two people are on the same team, it is clear who is the boss and who is the younger brother.

In addition to Li Liang, Paul also occupied the position of the All-Star starting point guard. He came back before the All-Star Game, just in time for the All-Star Game.

Although Paul was accidentally injured and missed many games, Paul's performance this season is still very good.

The very beginning of the season reflected a high level of competition.

If it weren't for the accidental injury, and Li Liang continued to run in, the Clippers' record would definitely be better than it is now.

But injuries themselves are part of the game and the long season, it's inevitable.

Unless you have a system.

If you don't have a system and don't accept the help of the system master, then there is no way.

On game night, Paul finally stopped sitting courtside in a suit.

He changed into the Clippers' No. 3 jersey and wore a stretch shirt underneath to protect his injured shoulder.

Li Liang saw Paul's attire and said, "Chris, why are you wearing autumn clothes while playing basketball?"

Paul didn't know what Qiuyi was, but he knew that Li Liang probably couldn't say anything good.

"It's time for you to change your socks," Paul replied.

Li Liang's socks are now the Clippers' number one killer in the locker room.

Every time Li Liang went to take a bath wearing socks, he washed the socks while taking a bath.

Otherwise, the stinky socks would prevent the reporters in the entire locker room from opening their mouths to ask questions.

But it is impossible for Li Liang to change his socks. The more intense the competition, the more smelly the socks, which means the more "damage" absorbed.

Li Liang's ankles are still very healthy, and he doesn't need to tie his feet very much. However, the Clippers team doctor was very surprised.

And shoe laces.

Under Armor sent Li Liang a lot of different styles and colors for him to change in the game to increase the exposure of Under Armour's sneakers.

Li Liang can change his sneakers, but not his shoelaces.

Li Liang wouldn't wear some sneakers that couldn't match Li Liang's laces.

Forcing Under Armor to produce these shoes, the sneakers used are the same as Li Liang's shoelaces.

Li Liang saw Paul wearing these protective gear, but the effect was not as good as the glass of water back then.

I don't know if he drank it in the end.

Besides, can your autumn clothes compare with my protective gear?

To be honest, Li Liang's image on the court is still affected by those ugly protective gear.

Knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet are for skateboarding.

Your old knees and elbows are not hurt!

Look at which rookie is like you, the equipment is more complicated than some veterans who have played in the league for 10 years.

But no matter what other people say, Li Liang is unmoved, ugly is ugly, and the most important thing is to take care of your body.

...

The game starts on time at seven thirty in the evening.

Paul returned to the starting lineup.

Collison played very well during Paul's absence, and it can even be said that he has increased his worth to a certain extent.

He completed the ball-handling task relatively well, and has a certain offensive ability with the ball, and can contribute to the team in terms of scoring and assists.

Although defense cannot become a gate because of height and size problems, it is by no means a colander for whatever you want.

In the joint training of the team training yesterday, Paul returned to the starting lineup to participate in tactical drills, and the starting players were still a little unaccustomed.

Because the tactical starting point has changed.

Without Paul, the starting point of the game is always Griffin.

After Paul's return, Griffin's status has slipped a notch, can he still start from him?

And when Paul is away, the ball will pass through Li Liang's hands for organization.

Li Liang's offense without the ball has become much less, because no one is passing the ball and pulling space for him.

There will definitely be changes after Paul comes back. You can't let Paul play off the ball.

Paul didn't have the ball in his hand, so most of his efforts were basically wasted.

Also, when Paul was away, every player actively participated in the offense and was very active in creating opportunities.

And when Paul comes back, will he turn into clothes again, stretch out his hands, and open his mouth?

No one knows, everything will not be revealed until after the game starts and everyone starts to run in again.

Paul is still very confident in himself. He believes in his understanding of the game and his ability to organize and assist.

Although the team won some very good games when he was not there, the winning percentage was not as good as when he was there.

After the start of the game, the Clippers took the lead in getting the ball, Paul got the ball, and organized an offense after halftime, just like in past games.

Li Liang came over to cooperate with Paul in the pick-and-roll.

At this time, an incongruous scene appeared.

Li Liangti came up to cover Paul, and Griffin also came to cover Paul.

The choices of the two were repeated, and Griffin immediately walked back when he saw this.

Paul used the opportunity to try and throw a lob to the paint, and Griffin jumped to catch the ball.

But both Lopez and Adelaide came over to grab their positions at the basket. Griffin didn't get a good chance and passed the ball again.

After Li Liang got the ball, he reorganized, and the attack time was a bit short.

In the end, the forced three-pointer from the outside line missed.

Paul just came back, and everyone was a little uncomfortable.

In a game of this level in the NBA, if there is a bit of stagnation and unsmoothness in the offense, giving the opponent time to react, the tactics will not work.

And if the starting move is wrong, the various follow-ups will also be wrong.

Paul shook his head, Li Liang was already yelling beside him, "Retreat!"

The Clippers retreated, and the Blazers failed to counterattack.

Both teams are mainly offensive teams, and the Blazers' shooting is also very strong.

Lillard, who was in the same class as Li Liang, was unexpectedly tough, and became one of the best rookies in the previous class despite being underestimated.

Although he was unsurprisingly lost to Li Liang in the selection of the best rookie, being able to surpass Davis is enough to show his energy.

They also have a rookie in the backcourt, CJ McCollum, who was selected 10th overall in this year's draft, and is also a player with outstanding shooting ability.

In the summer, the Blazers also introduced Robin Lopez at the center position.

In this way, the Blazers formed the starting five of Lillard, Aldridge, Lopez, Matthews and Batum.

This combination of offense and defense is reasonable, and there are no obvious shortcomings. Coupled with the training of the head coach, the Blazers once jumped to the second place in the Western Conference in terms of record.

It has not declined until recently, but it is also the top four level in the West.

It can be said that the Blazers completed the reconstruction through the draft at the fastest speed when both Oden and Roy were reimbursed due to injuries.

Of course, the rebuilt lineup is not as talented as it was back then, but at least it's not easy to get injured.

The Blazers, who did not succeed in the fast break and counterattack, stabilized and began to play their Flow offense seriously.

Repeated screens, running positions, and providing space for the team's shooters to shoot.

Aldridge is better than Griffin in addition to his wingspan, and another point is his mid-range shooting ability.

After the pick-and-roll screen, Ade got a shot on the left, and after receiving the ball, he made a mid-range jumper.

The first point of the opening.

The first goal of the opening often instills confidence in the players.

Adelaide made his first try, which made the Blazers players relax a little.

Before this game, the Blazers had just experienced a two-game losing streak, and they are currently in a low ebb.

In the two lost games, I felt bad at the beginning of the first quarter, dug a hole, and then couldn't catch up all the way, and lost the game.

Today is different. The Trail Blazers felt good at the start, but the Clippers felt average.

After Paul came back, everyone was really uncomfortable.

In the second attack, there was obviously a slight stagnation in the running position. Barnes in the bottom corner looked at Paul and then at Li Liang. It was a little late to take away the defense.

As a result, Griffin's singles on the wing failed. In the end, Paul chose to break through the middle and make an emergency stop jumper to try his hand.

No hits.

Paul's first shot didn't go in.

On the Trail Blazers side, Lillard assisted Matthews to hit a three-pointer from the outside.

A 5:0 start.

Li Liang asked Paul: "Can you do it? If not, I will organize it."

Paul ignored him, so he didn't believe in this evil. If he hasn't played for a month, his teammates can't run tactics?

After the first quarter of the game, the Clippers began to score disadvantage and catch up.

The Blazers played smoothly, and Aldridge hit a mid-range jumper again.

At the same time, Lillard also broke through the basket and made a layup.

In the end, the Clippers scored the first point with Li Liang grabbing an offensive rebound and making a tip-up to score two points.

The Clippers faced a problem in the first quarter-after Paul came back, everyone couldn't play anymore!

Of course, this was expected by Rivers.

So in the middle of the first quarter, Rivers replaced both Paul and Griffin, and Li Liang led the others to play on the field.

As soon as Paul is off the court, good guy, the Clippers players suddenly feel like they have a backbone.

Anyway, it's fighting around Li Liang.

Li Liang had a good touch tonight. After Paul left the field, he hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

Once it relied on the double screen of his teammates, and once it was after the second rebound, Jordan passed the ball, and Li Liang made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

These two three-pointers helped the Clippers stabilize the situation. When the first quarter ended, the score between the two sides became 31:28, and the Clippers were still 3 points behind the Blazers.

On the bench, Li Liang was about to talk to Paul while drinking water.

Before Li Liang opened his mouth, Paul said: "Stop talking, I can play!"

Li Liang thought, will you still rush to answer?

You said you can play, what do you see in your organization?

Paul reappeared after the start of the second quarter, and in the second quarter Paul finally recovered his form.

He chose to use offense to find a feeling for himself.

First, relying on the inside Mullins' cover to hit a mid-range jumper.

Then he steals CJ-McCollum in the defense, counterattacks and gives Odom an assist for a layup.

After Odom came to the Clippers, it can be said that he completely took care of it.

I never miss training every day, and I am never late or leave early.

Occasionally stay to practice.

The most obvious change in him is that he has lost weight.

After going to the Lone Ranger that year, Odom suddenly gained more than ten pounds.

The back is deep in Kohler Kardashian's water tank, soaking in it for a while and unable to get out.

He is sensual, and his overall physical condition is very bad.

In order to return to the Clippers and survive in the team, Odom worked hard after being expelled from school and sweated profusely in the training hall.

Now he can rush to the forefront in a quick counterattack, catch the ball and score a layup, which can be said to be quite difficult.

Once Paul's offense opened up, his playmaking sense slowly returned.

Rivers made the right choice.

With Li Liang and Paul on the court at the same time, the players will definitely not get used to it for a while.

So he let Paul go down to rest first, let Li Liang lead the game, so that the team would not lose too much.

Then let Paul play and lead the team, and slowly regain his feeling.

In the end, let the two appear together, and the situation will be much better.

In the middle of the second quarter, Li Liang reappeared, and Paul had recovered his form.

And Li Liang also began to cooperate with Paul to attack without the ball, and hit two three-pointers from the outside again.

Since the medal came back, Li Liang felt that his outside three-pointer status was getting better and better.

Of course, this is also related to the opponent.

The last few opponents' three-point defenses have not been very good.

Tonight, Li Liang is facing Batum. The Frenchman has long arms and legs, which theoretically makes Li Liang very uncomfortable.

But in fact, Li Liang is not afraid of this kind of player who relies on his wingspan to interfere with his shooting.

If you want your opponent to choose this kind of interference defense, Li Liang will never be afraid.

His anti-interference ability is very strong, and as long as you choose to reach out to interfere, most of the time it is slower than the shot.

As long as you slow down and let Li Liang form an open shot, his hit rate will be terribly high.

On the contrary, the kind of defense that does not choose to reach out to interfere, but to approach closely, so that Li Liang has no chance to open, makes Li Liang feel uncomfortable.

However, the Blazers quickly returned the color, and both Wesley Matthews and Lillard hit three-pointers from the outside.

Their three-pointers feel really good tonight, and it's a bit abnormal to be good.

The only one who voted badly was Batum...

Batum was shot by Li Liang on the offensive end tonight, and Li Liang did not let him go on the defensive end, and he was very focused on defending.

It's not because Batum is good, but Li Liang has always tried his best to defend.

As a result, Batum also made a few shots from the outside line. After missing, the Clippers got a backcourt rebound and counterattacked.

Paul instigated a counterattack and beat the Blazers 10:0 in the middle of the third quarter, helping the Clippers establish an advantage.

After that, the Clippers began to boil the frogs in warm water, and Paul began to control the field again.

As a result, an accident almost occurred in the fourth quarter.

The Blazers suddenly broke out with a wave of three-pointers.

McCollum scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside and caused a defensive foul by Barnes, who received an additional penalty of four points.

Lillard also faced Paul's defense in the offense, and made a difficult three-pointer from the outside and hit it.

The Blazers chased for 10 points in a row, and the point difference suddenly narrowed to only 2 points.

Then, the Blazers resorted to a tactic of "three people double-teaming Li Liang", and Li Liang naturally passed the ball to Paul.

With no defense at the top of the arc, Paul easily hit the mid-range.

Doesn't that make Paul a human being?

Do you think it's still the same as when you hit the Heat?

But then, Aldridge hit another three-pointer, and the point difference was only 1 point away.

Rivers called a timeout to stop the Blazers' touch.

The Clippers' defense is already in place, but the Blazers' touch tonight is really against the sky.

CJ-McCollum made 3 of 4 three-pointers in this game. It can be said that he feels hot.

But after returning from the timeout, Li Liang and Paul cooperated in a pick-and-roll, and then Li Liang received the ball from outside the three-point line.

Two Blazers players rushed forward, but Li Liang ignored them and made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line, hitting the fifth three-pointer of the game!

An extremely critical three-pointer, leading by 4 points, helped the Clippers take the initiative.

Subsequently, the Blazers made a mistake when there was more than 1 minute left in the game and they had enough time to play two offensive positions and defend well.

They are too superstitious about the invincible and terrifying touch tonight. In the offense after the timeout, Lillard chose to directly pull out after the misplaced defense on the outside.

It was Barnes who switched the ball in front of Lillard.

Lillard wanted to shoot the ball and scored a goal, but also wanted to make Barnes a foul, preferably a four-pointer.

As a result, the experienced Barnes was not fooled, and finally avoided it with his hands raised.

Lillard missed a three-pointer and Jordan grabbed a rebound.

Then, it was Paul and Li Liang's pick-and-roll.

After Li Liang took away the defense this time, Paul cut directly into the three-second zone and hit a mid-range jumper!

Still the original formula, still the original taste.

After scoring the goal, the corners of Paul's lips turned up, and he high-fived Li Liang.

The cooperation between the two is still very tacit.

Paul's ball is the final word, and the Blazers still have a chance to comeback, if they can still shoot a three-pointer against the sky.

But the problem is that their sky-defying three-pointers were used up in the first 46 minutes, and they suddenly failed in the last two minutes.

Another timeout ended, and this time the Blazers moved the ball to the end and it was Batum who made a three-pointer.

As a result, under the interference of Li Liang, Batum missed a three-pointer.

Griffin got the rebound, and the Blazers had to foul and send Griffin to the free throw line.

With Griffin making two free throws, the point difference came to 8 points, and the game lost its suspense.

In the end, there was no embarrassment in the first battle of Paul's comeback.

The Clippers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers by 6 points at 117:111 at home, sending their opponents a three-game losing streak.

The end of this game means that the first half of the NBA season has come to an end and the All-Star Weekend is about to enter.

Players, coaches can relax a little bit.

For Li Liang, the All-Star Weekend will be his busiest time.

He has too many things to ponder.
