Because of Paul's 12-for-0 accidental loss to the Pelicans, the Clippers' losses came to 10 games.

With 10 games left in the end, there has been some controversy within the Clippers regarding player rotation arrangements.

As the head coach, Rivers hopes that the team can hit 70 wins. After all, only the Bulls in 1996 have achieved 70 wins in NBA history. This is undoubtedly a very great achievement.

Assistant coaches Mike Brown, Tyronn Lue and others hope to expand the rotation, and put some games aside for a while to prepare for the playoffs.

Mike Brown has suffered losses in the regular season. He scored 66 wins in a single season with the Cavaliers that year, but was killed by the Magic in the playoffs.

In the regular season last season, the Lakers also won 62 wins. In the end, it still depends on their performance in the playoffs.

At present, the Clippers are still plagued by some injuries, especially their fragile bench.

Livingston and Granger have suffered major injuries, Odom and Crawford are both veterans, and Barnes and Paul are also prone to minor injuries.

Of course, Li Liang, Griffin and Jordan are all very healthy.

Since Griffin drank the water soaked in the bruise pills, he was alive and kicking every day and felt very good.

Little Jordan is God who gave him less brains and more physical talent. He is also very healthy and strong, with few minor problems.

Needless to say, Li Liang, every training and game is fully equipped like an old man who has played for 20 years, so that he does not let himself have the slightest risk of injury.

Therefore, there are some disputes within the coaching staff.

After playing the Pelicans on the 26th, the Clippers flew to Dallas that night, and they were going to play back-to-back away games.

This is the fourth time the Clippers have played back-to-back away games this season, which is really a torture for the players.

On the plane, the players covered themselves with quilts and blindfolds, and took the time to sleep.

The plane arrived at Dallas Airport in the early morning, everyone got off the plane yawning, and rushed to the hotel by bus.

On the way, Mike Brown said to Rivers: "I think the players should still take a good rest. If an injury occurs at this time, it is really not worth the loss."

Brown suggested that Rivers rest the main players, especially Paul, whose state is not very stable after returning from injury.

The last game was 0 for 12. If the team needs to compete for rankings, Paul will of course play every game.

Now that they are locked in the first place in the Western Conference, there is no need to let Paul play.

Rivers hesitated. It's not that he doesn't understand the importance of health. As a head coach, he still has his own considerations.

The honor of regular season wins is one aspect, and there is another problem that he is afraid of hurting Paul's self-esteem.

Ever since Paul was removed from the core position by default and Li Liang became the absolute core, Rivers was a little worried that Paul would be frustrated.

This is a very proud little player, competitive, stubborn and aggressive personality.

As a former NBA player, Rivers can understand Paul very well and understand that Paul's possible emotions should be handled well.

Paul was 0-for-12 against the Pelicans. He definitely wants to prove himself in the next game. If he is not allowed to play, even if it is said to protect him, it will inevitably make him think.

Rivers thought about it carefully, and decided to ask the players for their own wishes.

So, when the team was practicing together in the training hall the next morning, Rivers found Paul and asked him how his body was, how he felt, and whether he needed to rest.

Of course Paul didn't want to rest. He was very smart and said, "Coach, you don't want me to rest after the game, do you? I don't need it, I don't need it at all. I can play, and my performance in the next game will be very good."

Paul is confident, believing he can bottom out after a terrific play.

The conversation between the two was overheard by Li Liang who was on the side.

Li Liang heard that the two were discussing whether to play in the next game. He had already learned from Mike Brown that the team was considering whether to take a rotation to preserve their strength.

Li Liang stepped forward and said, "Lao Li, let Pao'er rest in the next round. His arms should rest well. Look at the last round. 0 for 12! It's my life!" The data that can’t be played, let him rest! We want to win!”

Rivers was speechless, did this speak human words?

Li Liang's voice was so loud that everyone in the team heard it and made everyone laugh.

Unable to hold back, Paul directly took the ball in his hand and threw it at Li Liang.

Li Liang dodged it very sensitively, and said bluntly to Paul, "You are angry from embarrassment, you should rest more!"

Paul was so angry and helpless, who could make himself inferior to others?

He recalled the scene when Li Liang was singled out after training that day, his defense...

Paul was surprised to find that Li Liang was probably hiding his strength so far.

The defensive ability he showed in heads-up is absolutely unprecedented in the game.

The intensity, the speed of reaction, the "golden sparkle"—Paul didn't know why he got that impression.

Anyway, Paul suddenly felt that Li Liang was a terrible player, and he was still hiding himself. How deep is this pool?

In fact, fart, Li Liang hides his hair, and goes all out in every game.

Last time, I opened a golden shield one-on-one with Paul, which made him feel distressed to death, and consumed a lot of anger points!

So it is purely Paul who thinks too much about hiding his strength.

After some discussion and discussion with the players, Rivers decided that Paul will still play normally in the next game, and at the same time, he will appropriately increase the playing time of bench players, expand the rotation, and allow the main players to get a better rest.

That night, the Clippers challenged the Dallas Mavericks away.

The Lone Ranger is currently ranked eighth in the West, and the two teams are very likely to meet in the first round of the playoffs.

Therefore, in this game, the Clippers encountered a strong resistance from the Lone Ranger in Dallas.

The game between the two sides started on time at 7 o'clock in the evening.

The Lone Ranger currently has a complete lineup and is in good shape.

At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki hit a jumper and scored the first point.

And Paul responded immediately, using Li Liang's defense to hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Then, Paul made another steal on the defensive end, and he made a one-stop layup!

It can be seen that Paul is full of fighting spirit today, just to prove himself.

Then, Nowitzki hit a jumper again on the offensive end.

Nuo Tianwang's hand feeling is amazing when he has good physical fitness at the beginning of the game.

Li Liang then responded with a three-pointer, and both sides felt good at the start.

Because the Clippers did not double-team Nowitzki in the opening game and let Griffin defend one-on-one, Nowitzki made his third jumper.

Then he received a pass for a layup and caused Griffin to foul and go to the free throw line.

This opened with a beating of Griffin's temper.

No way, the gap in height and wingspan is too big.

They are all power forwards. Griffin claims to be 2.08 meters, but in fact he should only look like 205.

And Nowitzki is definitely 2 meters 10 upwards, reaching 213 or even 214, and there are too many tall Griffins.

In the opening 5 minutes, Nowitzki scored 10 points.

During the timeout, Rivers replaced Griffin and asked Li Liang to play against Nowitzki at the power forward.

The two sides played extremely anxiously in the first quarter. After changing Li Liang's defense, Nowitzki's pressure increased, and Li Liang began to go around the front defense Nowitzki to catch the ball.

However, the Lone Ranger began to exert strength from the outside, and Carter and Barea hit three-pointers one after another.

And Paul really felt great tonight, he succeeded in stealing again, was fouled maliciously by Carter during the fast break, and made two free throws.

Paul made two free throws, and then passed the ball to assist Li Liang to hit a 45-degree three-pointer, and the Clippers took the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, Granger came on the court, and as soon as he came on the court, he received a pass from Livingston and made a layup.

The two sides scored 30:29 in the first quarter, and the Clippers led the Lone Ranger by 1 point.

In the second quarter, the confrontation between the two sides was still fierce, and the score rose alternately to lead.

Although Li Liang and Paul continued to score for the Clippers, the Mavericks, who are striving to enter the playoffs, are fighting hard, and the whole team is in very good condition.

Carter hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, Nowitzki is even more mature, and his fadeaway jumper is very accurate. Li Liang can't help him.

Rivers thought it was time to take a rest, this game will be rested, I am afraid it is not about losing.

The Clippers entered the intermission with a 5-point lead at 63:58 in the first half.

In the third quarter, the fierce confrontation finally led to a conflict between the two sides.

Because they are potential opponents in the playoffs, the Mavericks played very confrontationally.

Paul is in very good condition in this game, so the Lone Ranger will occasionally let Marion mark Paul.

For a small player like Paul, if he wants to survive on the court, he will inevitably have to do a little tricks.

As a result, when receiving a serve, Paul pushed Marion.

And Paul pushed it once, and Barnes on the side also made a make-up push, pushing Marion out of the bottom line.

This annoyed Marion, and rushed forward to argue with Marion.

The conflict between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, and the players rushed forward.

The referee hurried over to save the field. At this time, Li Liang was squatting in the bottom corner to gain space. When he saw something was wrong, could he not rush forward?

Before he could rush forward, one of the three on-duty referees had already come over and stopped Li Liang, separating him from the conflicting crowd.

"Let me take a look, I'll go over and take a look." Li Liang was anxious to get involved, but the referee had already been staring at him and refused to let him go.

"I'm going to see what's wrong? Let me see..."

Li Liang just wanted to join in the fun, but the referee knew that he couldn't let Li Liang pass when this kind of thing happened.

He is a man with one mouth, and absolutely nothing will become a problem, and a small matter will become a big one.

So there was a skirmish between players from both sides on one side of the court, some were arguing and some were persuading, and the referee blew his whistle to calm the situation down.

On the other side of the field, a referee hugged Li Liang's thigh to prevent him from passing, and held him back to prevent the shit stick from causing trouble.

The referee talked badly and didn't let Li Liang get involved.

Then he gave Barnes and Marion a technical foul each, and after watching the video, he gave Paul a technical foul.

Li Liang felt very sorry that he didn't participate in it and say a few words, otherwise at least one or two fines would be imposed.

After this episode, the Clippers seemed to suddenly find the feeling of the game.

Li Liang hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside - in fact, he used props.

This guy is very thieves. After the conflict, the mentality of the two sides is slightly relaxed, because after the conflict, both sides are somewhat out of state, and the confrontation is not so intense.

Three consecutive three-pointers opened the difference between the two sides to more than 10 points.

The Lone Ranger then launched a counterattack in the fourth quarter, once narrowing the point difference to 5 points. As a result, Paul's stable mid-range jumper overwhelmed the momentum of the Lone Ranger's counterattack.

In the end, the Lone Ranger adopted foul tactics and sent Jordan to the free throw line.

As a result, Jordan was very competitive and made 3 of 4 free throws, but the Lone Ranger missed the offense and lost the chance to comeback.

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Lone Ranger by 115:108 in an away game by 7 points, expanding the number of wins to 63 games and continuing to create the best record in team history.

Li Liang and Paul scored 30 points and 28 points respectively, for a total of 58 points!

Paul recovered, but he still couldn't beat Li Liang in scoring.

Li Liang took another solid step on the road to MVP.
