A bloody massacre victory, judging from the results of the game, winning by 1 point is the same as winning by 58 points.

But the resulting public opinion results and psychological effects are completely different.

The Lakers decided to start playing poorly. The dignified defending champion, with the main lineup basically retained and only one rookie missing, was overwhelmed by injuries, age and various unfavorable factors.

Without the old Bass in charge, the internal struggle of the Lakers has never stopped.

Jenny Buss and Jim Buss battled for control of the team.

Jenny Buss tried to buy Li Liang as her support last season, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

How can Li Liang be controlled by her?

The internal battles have wiped out the cohesion the players built last season.

Without Li Liang scolding behind with a hair dryer, everyone felt that there was no motivation to compete.

And the Clippers are well on their way to the highest stage.

After sweeping the Lakers, some media in Los Angeles have impatiently started to "respect the king".

The "Los Angeles Times" used a huge feature to announce the birth of the new king of Los Angeles.

In fact, the playoffs have not yet begun.

The Clippers continued their winning streak.

Paul gradually found his form, and the full Clippers finally appeared.

The entire team hit its regular-season best in March, and they started sweeping the way.

On March 8, the Clippers defeated the visiting Atlanta Hawks at 121:109 at home.

The Eagles were still inseparable from the Clippers in the final stage of the fourth quarter, and then they were beaten 9-0 by Li Liang alone in two minutes, and they directly raised their hands and surrendered.

On March 10, the Clippers still did not give the Suns a chance against the Suns.

At 115:100, it was another big victory in three quarters, without giving the Suns any chance.

After this game, the Clippers' record came to 56 wins and 9 losses, and the number of wins has exceeded the Clippers' 55 wins last season.

This is already the highest number of wins in a single season in the history of the Clippers.

The Clippers did not stop their pace of continuing to make history.

On March 12, the Clippers beat the Warriors at home with a score of 119:97, a huge advantage of 22 points.

Li Liang hit 8 three-pointers in a single game, more than Curry and Thompson combined.

And this is due to Paul's go-betweens and frequent three-point assists to Li Liang.

It is said that Deron Williams is energetic when he plays Paul, and Paul is energetic when he is facing Curry.

Every time he played against Curry against the Warriors, Paul was able to play well.

In the last loss to the Warriors, the Clippers did not have Paul and Curry to match up, which made Curry explode.

Paul scored 18 points and sent 12 assists in this game.

On the bench, there was one player who played very well and scored the team's second-highest score--Danny Granger.

Two weeks ago, the trade deadline for the 2014 season, on February 21, the Indiana Pacers, the boss of the Eastern Conference, completed a shocking deal - sending the former team boss Danny Granger to Philadelphia The 76ers traded for the 76ers' No. 2 pick, Evan Turner.

Granger was selected by the Pacers in 2005. In the 2004-2005 season before that, the Pacers, who were originally hopeful, fell apart because of the Auburn Hills Palace incident.

Granger, who fell to the 17th pick due to injury concerns, began his growth in the Pacers.

After O'Neal was finally traded due to injury decline, Granger became the leader of the Pacers.

He became the team's scoring leader, the league's most improved player, led the Pacers back to the playoffs, and fought the Heat.

As a result, as the Pacers completed their reconstruction and began to compete for the championship, Granger fell due to injuries.

He embarked on the old path of O'Neal, and was traded away by Larry Bird on the trade deadline when the Pacers were in the limelight in the East this season.

Because in Bird's view, Granger has no value on the court.

The Pacers' record in the first half of the season can be said to be better than the Clippers for a while, and it did not decline until the middle of the season.

After completing this deal, sending away Granger, who rarely played, and getting a healthy role model Turner, most people think that the Pacers have made a lot of money and are one step closer to the finals.

In the few games just after the transaction, the Pacers have won consecutively, and they are rushing towards 50 wins.

As a result, on March 4th, they lost to the Warriors, on the 5th to the Bobcats by 20 points, on the 7th to the Rockets by 25 points, and then lost to the Mavericks two days later.

A wave of unexpected four-game losing streak, and there was no suspense in losing every game. It was almost as if he would not be able to play overnight.

In contrast to the Clippers, on March 1st, the Clippers chose to sign Granger, who was waived by the 76ers, to make up for the vacancy left by Caron Butler.

Butler has been sidelined for more than a month because of elbow and knee injuries, and his return date is currently undetermined.

The Clippers need a spare tire on the bench to add height and firepower, and Granger is undoubtedly a good target.

After coming to the Clippers, Granger seemed to be activated all of a sudden.

He has played brilliantly in several games.

Including this victory over the Warriors, Granger's performance was simply slapping Bird in the face.

By March 14, after the Clippers defeated the Jazz by 109:95 and 14 points in an away game in Salt Lake City, they had won ten consecutive victories!

The Clippers feel unstoppable now.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks at home. With 11 games left before the end of the regular season, they achieved a brilliant record of 62 wins and 9 payouts!

For a time, public opinion that the Clippers could break the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses was once again raging.

After all, the Clippers' 14-game winning streak is really shocking.

It seemed that Granger's arrival had turned the last screw on the aircraft carrier, and the big ship could no longer stop.

Li Liang played a vital role in this winning streak.

He has completely become the first tactical core of the Clippers on the court, the soul of the team.

Li Liang's soul style is just two words - open and hang!

In March, his condition got better and better, not because he scored well, but because he played very smoothly in every game.

He scored more than 20 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and sent seven or eight assists. He controlled about 3 turnovers.

His three-point attempts have declined, his shooting percentage has further increased, and he is in good condition every game.

There are no injuries, not too many ups and downs, the mentality is very stable, and the usual training is on time.

Recently, Li Liang has postponed the completion of system tasks. After he raised his ball control to 50 points, he learned long passes from Slick Watts and raised his weak long pass ability points to 30 points.

After that, Li Liang stopped doing tasks for the time being, but devoted himself to team training and practiced with his teammates.

There was no lateness, no early leave, which moved Mike Brown to tears, and felt that Li Liang had finally fully enlightened!

Please, if Li Liang didn't practice at home, how do you think he improved so fast?

The effect of the joint training is remarkable, and the cooperation between Li Liang and his teammates has become more and more tacit.

The jerkyness at the beginning of the season has long since disappeared without a trace, and the team's overall offense has reached a very high level.

Gentry has contributed a lot to this. In the design of offensive tactics, he does not stick to fixed routines, but communicates with players from the overall offensive thinking.

The Clippers' offense is not blindly fast. Although fast is the core, Gentry has been trying to make the Clippers' offense fast and steady.

Li Liang and Gentry actually have quite a lot of daily communication, a little more than with Mike Brown.

From this excellent coach, Li Liang can learn a lot.

At the same time, Gentry also found that Li Liang's comprehension in basketball is stronger than that of Chris Paul.

Paul is already known for his high basketball IQ, but in terms of comprehension ability, Gentry believes that Li Liang is definitely at the level of "an elephant has no form, and a big voice has no sound".

Of course, Gentry didn't know these two idioms, that's how he felt.

The more Li Liang learned, the deeper his understanding of tactics.

He understands that the overall style of the Lakers last season was "steady and fast". It seems that they played at a slow pace, but the positional warfare is very sensitive and flexible, so the success rate is very high.

The Clippers don't have such a strong positional ability, so they need to be "fast but steady" and focus on speed, but they can't be fast and blind.

As an organizer, you must grasp this degree well.

Li Liang is the one who takes the lead, not because he is so well organized, but because he takes the lead and is full of confidence, so he gets up really fast.

There is stability in the end, because of Paul, Paul can control the scene when necessary and speak with experience.

After setting this tone, the two have a division of labor, coupled with the cooperation of the whole team, the players are in excellent condition and their personal abilities are outstanding, and they are naturally invincible in the regular season.

This kind of fast-paced style of play is more advantageous in regular season encounters, and it is easy to knock down opponents.

Playoffs, hard to say.

Rivers sees this quite clearly, so when it came to the Clippers’ recent question of tying the Bulls’ record of 72 wins or breaking 70 wins, he said that he would not deliberately pursue breaking the record. enough.

As a result, as soon as the words were finished, the Clippers lost.

On March 26, the Clippers played an away game against the Pelicans. This was the last regular season match between the two sides this season.

Anthony Davis returns for this game.

In terms of strength, even if Davis returns, the Pelicans will still not be the Clippers' opponent.

However, there are absolute strengths and weaknesses in the NBA regular season, and there is no absolute outcome.

The Clippers capsized in this game, and the root cause of the capsized is that Chris Paul, as the team's starting point guard, scored two points in the game!

Two points!

If you change to an ordinary fan and go up and get beaten, you can get two points for both free throws.

Paul made 0 of 12 shots in the game, and Master Kiddji was possessed, so he missed a goal.

Just rely on free throws to score two points.

It's hard to win when your starting All-Star point guard has only 2 points.

As a result, the Pelicans narrowly beat the Clippers at home 98:96, with a slight advantage of two points.

It's a pity that Li Liang's last lore goal was missed. It doesn't always change your life against the sky.

Especially changing Paul's 0-for-12 life is too difficult!

After the game, Paul apologized to all the players in the locker room, bluntly saying that his poor performance caused the team to lose.

Li Liang stepped forward generously and said, "If you don't make a shot in the future, just pass the ball to me!"

Paul didn't speak, no way, who made you fuck shit?

As soon as this game was over, the talk of "trading Paul" started to appear again.

Of course, this is mainly a joke, because now the trade deadline has passed, and the trade will have to wait until the summer.

Although losing the game, it did not affect the momentum of the Clippers too much.

At the same time, Li Liang's position on the MVP rankings has become more and more stable.

When they are determined to win the first record in the league, the discussion about Li Liang's regular season MVP has also been put on the agenda.

The current accepted view is that if the Clippers can win 70 wins, it goes without saying that this MVP must belong to Li Liang.

Leading the team in the second grade, the absolute core, beautiful statistics, 70 wins?

Even if he is an Asian who is not valued in the sports world, this MVP should belong to him properly.

And because Li Liang made a fuss in the middle of the season, whoever is talking about skin color and race is putting himself on fire.

If you get 67 wins or more, then there is basically no suspense for this MVP.

67 wins is a hurdle. So far, only 10 teams in NBA history have achieved it.

Among them, 8 teams won the championship. Only the Celtics in 1973 and the Mavericks in 2007 did not make it to the finals.

After 2007, no team has achieved this winning percentage.

Including the Celtics in 2008 with 66 wins, the Lakers in 2009 with 65 wins, and the Heat with 66 wins last season.

Because James lost the regular season MVP with 66 wins last season, if the Clippers can't reach the benchmark record of 67 wins, the media people have every reason to award the MVP trophy to James.

James' performance this season is also at the MVP level, and the Heat's record is also heading for 60 wins.

After summer's hard training, hard work, and transformation, James' strength has improved.

Born in 1984, he will turn 30 in December this year, and he is still improving his basketball skills.

It's just that Li Liang's promotion was not as terrifying and fast as Li Liang's, after all, he was cheating.

But this kind of improvement, the impression points brought to the media and fans is definitely significant.

Last season, people were tired of James, so they gave Kobe the MVP.

Now James has new changes, and everyone is surprised that "he can still improve", after all, a player who is often said "depending on his body, he can't do it at the age of 30".

Therefore, James has an advantage in impression points. If Li Liang wants to win the MVP competition, he must completely overwhelm James in terms of hard conditions.

For example, the team record, which is the hardest.

There are also personal data. Li Liang's data is good, but it is still not enough compared to the data blame James.

So, it depends on the record.

Does Li Liang want to win the MVP? Nonsense, who wouldn't want to!

Time doesn't wait, Li Liang doesn't want to experience the same regret as Paul, and he must fight for this MVP.

If Paul delays further, he will scold him to death without hesitation!
