Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Brooks' timeout didn't help. On the contrary, the Thunder's offense became even worse after the timeout ended.

After the Thunder sent Harden away in the worst trade in NBA history, they have always faced a problem in offense-too little change.

The Thunder are not without tactics. Any coach of any team in the NBA must have ample tactical library.

Fans sometimes have an illusion when watching the game. They can't tell which balls are played through tactics, and those balls have no tactics and rely on personal ability.

For example, some teams launch fast breaks, passing the ball smoothly and smoothly, and fans will think that this team has good tactics.

In fact, many fast counterattacks and beautiful passes do not rely on tactics, but on the players' on-the-spot performance and tacit understanding.

Another example is some offenses, one hit and four looks, which in the eyes of some fans means no tactics.

But in fact, the low-post one-hit four-look is a tactic in itself.

A low-post attack with a high success rate, four people spread out, don't run easily, if the opponent double-teams, he will play the ball, and if the opponent does not double-team, he will directly eat.

This is a very simple but effective tactic in a basketball game. Not everyone has to run around. Air cuts, screens, and ball transfers are the tactics.

Tactics must match the team's player configuration to be effective.

For the Thunder, the core of all offensive tactics is to give full play to the personal offensive power of Durant and Westbrook.

At this point, Brooks did a good job.

But without Harden, the Thunder not only lacked a point that can be said to be around the formulation of tactics, but also led to a very single tactical style of the entire team and a lack of change.

Therefore, it is rigid and easy to break. The Thunder's offense built around Durant and Westbrook is extremely fierce, often killing opponents in a wave.

But when a stalemate is needed, toughness is needed, and when points are needed, the Thunder will be unable to do so.

Without Harden leading the bench, without Harden controlling the rhythm, without Harden opening up the space, without Harden's ingenious passing, the Thunder can be said to have collapsed.

It's enough to play against an ordinary strong team, the Thunder, but against a championship-level strong team, the Thunder can't do it.

They became the same as the previous Clippers, "nearly breathing."

After returning from the timeout, the Thunder did not score in sports for as long as five minutes.

This is simply worse.

The Clippers' defensive strategy is simple, one-on-one, one-on-one.

No switching, no double-teaming, originally the Thunder were the least afraid of this kind of defense. As a result, in the five minutes, both Westbrook and Durant fell into a scoring slump and were unable to score.

The Clippers' offensive success rate is not high, but the lead in the score is in the hands of the Clippers.

With 4 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the Thunder made a three-pointer from Fisher.

Tonight Fisher and Barnes are the surprise players of the two teams. Needless to say, Barnes shot crazy three-pointers in the third quarter.

And Fisher hit two consecutive three-pointers in the second half of the third quarter, breaking the embarrassment of the Thunder not scoring in sports games, and at the same time narrowing the point difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers still led the Thunder by 15 points at 102:87.

Li Liang played in the third quarter and scored 14 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and he was about to go for a triple-double again.

He didn't score much, but was still efficient.

In the recent games, Li Liang seems to be drifting away from Corvo, heading towards James without looking back.

In fact, it is mainly because of the strength of the teammates. Barnes, Crawford, Griffin and others played very well tonight.

This is what Rivers is willing to see, the entire team is condensing into a boat, a real king's boat.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Thunder continued to counterattack.

Durant missed a high jumper, and Griffin counterattacked and killed the basket after getting the rebound, causing Adams to foul.

Adams replaced Perkins in the starting lineup tonight, and he played well, but he didn't have enough experience.

It's a pity that Griffin missed two free throws, and at the critical moment, you missed free throws again!

Looking back, what happened to Fisher tonight seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac.

Seeing Barnes hit various three-pointers, the old fish was not to be outdone, he received a pass from Jackson on the left side, and made a three-pointer against the defense!

The third three-pointer, Fisher is the second spring?

With the point difference approaching 12 points, the Thunder still have hope.

Subsequently, Crawford missed a long three-pointer, but Odom grabbed the offensive rebound and split the ball to reorganize the offense.

The Thunder's defensive intensity suddenly increased, destroying the Clippers' pass out of the sideline.

After serving the ball, the Clippers tried to give it in and let Griffin hit it.

As a result, the Thunder suddenly pressed hard, forcing the Clippers to pass the ball to the outside, and then to Crawford on the wing.

Crawford broke through at 45 degrees and continued to try to pass in, but the pass was destroyed again.

It's still the Clippers' ball, but it can be seen that the Thunder's defense is indeed tough enough.

But the Clippers are also patient enough. The bench lineup is based on Griffin, and they must give the ball to Griffin.

Then he sent the bottom line ball, and Odom got an open space on the left side by running, caught the ball and shot directly, but missed.

Mid-range catch and shot is not Odom's forte.

Durant missed a long three-pointer from the outside, and then Livingston missed a layup.

Neither side scored a goal, but the Thunder are in a hurry, trailing by more than ten points.

The more anxious you are, the easier it is to play, and the simpler you are, the easier it is to go wrong, and then the more anxious you are.

It's a vicious circle.

The substitute Lamb faked away the defender after receiving the ball from the wing, broke through to kill the basket, and wanted to dunk.

As a result, the dunk with the left hand flew away...

Too anxious, the Clippers Griffin got the ball and dribbled the ball directly to push the fast break.

After halftime, the ball was given to Barnes on the wing. Barnes went straight to the basket and made a layup that caused Fisher's defensive foul.

Fisher knew he couldn't stop the ball, so he hugged Barnes directly.

Barnes goes to the free throw line.

After more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, Li Liang and Paul returned to the court.

This is double insurance for victory.

As a result, as soon as Paul came up, the defensive end grabbed a rebound and fouled...

It's not good to be short. Seeing that the opponent was about to grab an offensive rebound, the referee caught him making a move and was called a foul.

The ball is still in the hands of the Thunder, Durant seized the opportunity to cut to the basket, received a pass from Collison and successfully dunked with one hand!

Subsequently, Paul received a pass from Crawford at the top of the arc and made a three-pointer...no.

You're here to insure the Clippers' victory!

Li Liang knew that at this critical moment, he couldn't give Lei Ting any chance to gain momentum.

Directly a [Death Coil] broke the ball from Durant's hand, making the Thunder's counterattack come to naught.

Then he dribbled the ball and killed half the court. There was no one under the basket, and he jumped and dunked directly!

As a result, the ball "baji" hit the basket...

Li Liang's heart is not good, what the hell, he jumped too early!

Li Liang's ball swelled, and he jumped three steps away from the basket, but the gliding distance was not enough!

You think you are a glider, but you are actually a tractor!

As a result, the ball hit the front of the basket, and a reaction force came over, almost causing Li Liang to fall!

Fortunately, there were no Thunder players to keep up with. After Li Liang stabilized his figure, he took the ball back and made an easy layup.

Shame, fast break dunk missed.

But Li Liang thought it was okay. Not only did he score, but he also got a rebound and a double-double.

This ball earned!

However, Li Liang felt that he had made a profit. This time, he made a fast break and counterattack, and he made it into the top five.

Li Liang has made another great contribution to the basketball court entertainment industry.

Combined with the previous All-Star game claiming to participate in the slam dunk contest, Li Liang may not be ridiculed during this time.

But Li Liang doesn't care, you can say what you like off the court, as long as I win on the court.

Li Liang succeeded in stealing the ball and fast break, interrupting the momentum of the Thunder's counterattack.

This is the best time for the Thunder to turn around in this game. Once they miss it, it will become more and more difficult in the future.

Under the defense of Li Liang, Durant broke through the middle to the basket, and a golden rooster made an independent fallback and made a one-handed throw.

The ball was very difficult, and it was obviously a short shot, and Durant signaled to the referee that Li Liang had fouled.

But the referee didn't blow his whistle.

Durant was a little impatient.

He scored a lot tonight. By the fourth quarter, he had scored 36 points.

But at the critical point in time, he missed a three-pointer, missed a mid-range shot, was intercepted on a counterattack, and now he missed a shot.

Durant's mentality exploded.

In the counterattack, Paul chose to shoot a mid-range jumper.

It seems that under the influence of Li Liang, Paul also started to play rough.

However, the ball missed, but Jordan went inside and grabbed the offensive rebound, and scored the ball to the outside.

Li Liang was completely empty, and made a 45-degree three-pointer from the right, and it hit!

It was too stable, Li Liang was in front of a desert, and he even had time to dribble and adjust his shooting posture.

A big vacancy is a sure thing for him.

There is no way, the Thunder can only call a timeout again.

But what's the use of calling a timeout? If the players are not in good condition and the opponent can shoot the ball, it is not a problem of tactics, but a problem of lineup strength.

Durant and Westbrook have played very well in this game, but overall, the Clippers played too well.

A timeout didn't solve the problem. After the timeout ended, Collison came up with a screen foul and returned the ball to the Clippers.

Brooks replaced Collison with Serge Ibaka.

Paul and Li Liang passed the ball to Li Liang after a pick-and-roll, but Li Liang missed a three-pointer.

Durant broke through the basket for a layup in the counterattack, and the ball was knocked out by Li Liang, but the referee called Li Liang a foul.

Durant was a little annoyed by his inability to attack continuously, and started to talk trash to Li Liang.

This means you are lighting a lantern in the toilet and looking for shit.

Durant is no longer the young boy who missed a free throw just because of the word "bath water", but he can't stand Li Liang's hair dryer either!

"Tumor play style, Kevin-Don't pass-Durant, second in the world, you are the most handsome in the league, you will never win a championship in the Thunder because you have a foolish management..."

Anyway, Li Liang attacked Durant in various ways, constantly stimulating Durant's nerves.

Although Durant's skills and style of play are mature, his heart is still like that of a child.

After taking a free throw, Durant couldn't help but stepped forward to confront Li Liang.

You can't play a trumpet on the court, can you beat Li Liang?

Li Liang's mouth is a urging ghost.

Even though the referee's whistle beeped, Li Liang did not intend to let Durant go.

"The only way for you to win the championship and victory is to leave the Thunder! Or I will come to the Thunder and you will assist me. Otherwise, don't even think about it here, never even think about it. You can just wait, just wait!"

Li Liang dared to say it, and made Durant laugh angrily.

But what can you do? A champion is one who can do whatever he wants.

Moreover, Durant lost to the Heat's Big Three, and Li Liang abruptly snatched the championship from the Big Three.

There is a stark contrast between the front and the back.

Pulling out Li Liang and Durant alone is more than personal ability, and fans may think Durant is stronger.

But once you put it in the team, and compare the performance of the team in the playoffs, the reputation will be different.

Of course, Li Liang still needs the test of this season's playoffs, otherwise the label of "thigh hugging" will not be washed away for the time being.

It's just that the decline of the Lakers this season has given Li Liang's fans a lot of confidence.

You see, without Li Liang, the Lakers have gone from competing for the championship to hovering on the edge of the playoffs.

In the end Durant could only shake his head and smile wryly.

He wanted to slap Li Liang in the face with his performance on the court, but he missed the second free throw and was pissed off.

In the last five or six minutes of the game, Paul finally started to play a role-control the rhythm!

At this time, it is necessary for Paul to stand up like this, use his rich experience, and use up the game time in the safest way.

In the last five minutes, Li Liang no longer held the ball and gave it to Paul as long as he got the ball.

Paul dragged the time every time he attacked, and in the last three minutes, the Clippers led by 13 points.

The Thunder had to use foul tactics, and poor Jordan had to be cut again, and then went to the free throw line to be punished.

It's a good thing that the Thunder didn't give up, but it also caused the game to become lengthy and procrastinated.

The fans at the scene were very loyal and did not give up the team's hope of a comeback until the last moment of the game.

But when Jordan starts hitting two free throws, it's hard to come back.

The game went from smooth flow to fragmented, at this time Li Liang began to continue "chatting" with Durant.

Li Liang breathed a lot of relief, and stopped taunting Durant crazily. Instead, he turned on the hair dryer and gave advice to Li Liang as a "mentor".

Durant doesn't even know, I have been in the league for seven years, why should I listen to a second-year rookie for advice?

But he really listened to it. Li Liang's speech was always like this.

Paired with a hair dryer, black can be called white, and white can be called purple.

For example, every time he played against Davis, he had to meet him, which made Davis pay special attention to his beard and eyebrows.

Li Liang's suggestion to Durant is very simple, just don't listen to urging him to leave the Thunder and play on other teams.

Durant doesn't understand, does Lao Tzu have a relationship with you in the Thunder? I'm not going to the Clippers.

But as he talked, Durant felt that what Li Liang said made sense.

"Look at me, I am very free, I have the ability to be free, why should I lock myself up? One person, one city? One person, one team? Go to hell. I gave what I deserved here, and I got what I deserved." Got it, I am free and I will not be bound by anything. This is the freedom that only the strong can have, and the weak need restraint to protect them. Do you understand, Kevin!"

Li Liang's words filled Durant's mind continuously during the breaks of the game.

Durant seemed to turn a deaf ear, but he didn't know it himself, and some words had already been imprinted deep in his mind.

As for why Li Liang said these things, is there any benefit to him?

No benefit, no benefit whatsoever.

He just wants to talk fast, just to say.

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Thunder without much suspense. They scored an astonishing 135 points, 135:119, with a 16-point advantage, ending their two-game losing streak.

The Clippers can be said to have made a strong comeback. After establishing the Memphis Conference with Li Liang as the core, they immediately showed strong combat effectiveness.

Now Paul has nothing to say, what should I do, help me!

An injury directly caused Paul to lose his position as the absolute core of the team.

Li Liang's ability to usurp the throne is no one else, the key is that he himself doesn't care!

He doesn't need to care, a core position is meaningless to him, and he won't be given a salary increase.

It's just that if he plays later, Li Liang will play more comfortably and freely.

In these few games, Li Liang's personal data has declined, especially in scoring.

His shots have decreased, his hit rate has increased, his assists have increased, and his overall performance has become more balanced and efficient.

In fact, for a player, a season or an entire career is a marathon.

Running too hard or too fast is not necessarily a good thing. It is very important to maintain a stable output, find a game rhythm that you are comfortable and accustomed to, and let yourself enter the "uniform speed running" stage.

Li Liang is now gradually entering his uniform running, but the entire Clippers began to speed up.

After defeating the Thunder, the Clippers got back on track and began to attack the league.

On February 24, in the last game of the three-game streak, in New Orleans, the Clippers defeated the Pelicans 130:115 with a 15-point advantage.

The Clippers also scored more than 130 points in two consecutive games, which is the first time in the history of the Clippers.

Li Liang scored his fifth triple-double of the season with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Of course, there are no rewards.

Two days later, the Clippers returned home to Los Angeles to face the visiting Houston Rockets.

Harden continued his practice of not performing well when he met Li Liang last season, and the Iron King possessed him.

In this game, Harden made 1 of 6 three-pointers and 6 of 16 two-pointers, scoring only 18 points.

Li Liang's three-point shot was not good, 2 of 7, but the Clippers played well again, unstoppable, 111:93, 18 points advantage and then beat the Rockets.

Then the Clippers played the second game with the Pelicans within a week. As a result, the Clippers swept the Pelicans 115:75 with 40 points!

In this game, Anthony Davis was absent due to injury, and the Pelicans without a backbone played chaotically.

The offense went it alone, the defense had no pillars, and was rushed to death by the Clippers.

The Clippers scored the highest score in this game is Paul, 21 points, Griffin 20 points, Li Liang 20 points, Barnes 15 points, and many people scored in double figures, which can be everywhere.

Rivers has really completely entered the trusteeship state. Anyway, now he calls a timeout to arrange tactics, and the players may not necessarily listen.

Just win.

And this 40-point victory is not the most exaggerated.

Entering March, there is not much suspense in an away game against the Suns. They easily took a victory from Phoenix at 109:96.

Then on March 4, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles and played an away game at Staples against the Lakers.

The Lakers were trying their best to hit the playoffs. They have been in the ninth position, competing with the eighth Lone Ranger for the playoffs.

Bryant turned out to be injured again after the All-Star break, missing the game with a calf muscle contusion.

To make matters worse, Howard also suffered repeated shoulder injuries and missed the game.

Now the so-called five All-Stars of the Lakers, only Nash and Gasol can really support the scene on the court.

Nash is in good form, but after winning the championship last season, his competitiveness on the court has plummeted.

After all, I am nearly 40 years old, and the NBA games are busy and hard, and the training is monotonous and boring.

Nash's career has been consummated. He won a championship near retirement and holds two MVPs. It can be said that he has no regrets.

Even if head coach D'Antoni can play the role of Nash, Nash himself has no desire to shine.

Gasol's situation is similar to Nash's. What supports him to continue playing on the court is his love for basketball, not his obsession with winning.

In the NBA, love alone is not enough to win.

As a result, in this game, in the absence of Kobe and Howard, the Clippers completed a massacre of the Lakers.

The Clippers scored 10 appearances and scored a terrible 150 points!

With this battle, the Clippers averaged 120.1 points per game this season, surpassing the Denver Nuggets led by Paul Westhead in the 1991 season.

Although the season is not over yet, the achievement of such an achievement by March is enough to show the strong firepower of the Clippers.

More importantly, the Nuggets scored 119 points in a single game in 1991, but their record was the last in the Western Conference!

The Clippers are different. They have 120 points in a single game, but they are well ranked first in the league.

The Nuggets' high scoring is achieved by not defending and losing high points.

The Clippers' defense did not fall at all, but became stronger under the training of Mike Brown.

The final score was 150:95. With an advantage of 55 points, the Clippers beat the Lakers without any face.

But the only pity is that before the end of the game, Odom's outside three-pointer missed, otherwise it would be tied!

This victory can be said to make the Lakers lose face.

At the same time, it also led to the final decision of the Lakers' team operation strategy this season-the latter was chosen between striving to enter the playoffs and striving for a better draft pick.

Even in the playoffs, isn't the eighth position still being abused by the Clippers?

Not worth it, not worth it.
