In the playoffs, Li Liang became more and more arrogant.

But in front of Lillard, Li Liang just wanted to be a little more arrogant.

The two were rookies of the same year, and the competition for the best rookie last year was quite fierce.

And Lillard is also a very flamboyant person. Every time he plays against the Blazers, Lillard and Li Liang have to fight with each other.

Of course, the Blazers have more losses than wins, and Li Liang has lost more than 20 games in the past two years. Although Lillard is amazing, Li Liang's 3 is completely shocking.

In fact, the two have many similarities. For example, they are both senior rookies, and they are relatively mediocre in terms of external conditions.

The bounce, speed, and strength are not impressive in all aspects. Lillard is even worse, and his height is not enough.

But when they really come to the game field, their advantages can only be seen during the game.

Accurate jump shots under high confrontation, excellent game feel, superb basketball IQ, and excellent scoring explosiveness.

Strong scoring power means that a player has superior talent on the offensive end and will explode under special circumstances.

In his rookie season, Lillard's three-pointers were second only to Li Liang, ranking second among rookies.

As an underrated rookie, Lillard has a strong fighting spirit, but at the beginning he aimed at Anthony Davis, but now the target has changed. It is Li Liang, who needs him to catch up.

After hearing Li Liang's words, Lillard immediately responded offensively.

He and Aldridge completed a pick-and-roll cooperation, and then hit a mid-range jumper at the top of the arc, finally breaking the Blazers' scoring drought.

At this time, six minutes into the first quarter, the Blazers scored their first goal.

Subsequently, Paul and Jordan picked and rolled, and missed a mid-range jumper.

The Blazers' defensive strategy in the opening game was to bet that the Clippers didn't feel good outside.

When they defended Paul's pick-and-roll, they adopted the inward strategy. The big players blocked Paul and moved in. They did not give Paul the opportunity to make an outside pass and let Paul shoot.

Batum stared at Li Liang even more, not giving him any space.

In fact, the Blazers are not wrong to bet. The Clippers' shooting touch in the opening game is really average, otherwise they would not only score 13 points in six minutes.

It's just that the Blazers themselves feel worse.

After Paul hit two mid-range shots, the ball missed from mid-range.

This is also a small problem with Paul's shooting, and his scoring is not explosive.

From the perspective of shooting percentage, Paul's mid-range shooting percentage is very high, higher than Kevin Durant.

But judging from the game process, it will be found that Paul's mid-range hits are relatively scattered.

On the one hand, it is related to his shot selection, his offense and organization are always interspersed.

On the other hand, Paul's ability to score consecutively, or his determination is not as good as those real scorers.

He seldom has the feeling of coming, scoring four or five goals in a row and crippling his opponent.

Stotts was right on this point, and would rather let Paul shoot more points than let Paul attack and organize interspersed to drive the team.

This is also a more traditional way of dealing with core point guard teams like the Clippers.

It's just that the Clippers not only have Paul, but also Li Liang. Li Liang is the real core of the Clippers now.

It's not that Stotts doesn't know this. He doesn't know how to target Li Liang. The first game should be based on one defense and one mark.

Then Li Liang used his performance to tell Stotts that one-on-one marking was no longer useful to him.

The Blazers played Adelaide singles, Jordan was defending Adelaide, and Li Liang went to stare at Lopez.

After Ade turned to the middle, he missed a one-handed hook. Li Liang caught Lopez and grabbed a backcourt rebound.

Then Li Liang dribbled the ball across the half court by himself, and Batum naturally followed closely. It was Jordan who came up in time to make a cover.

Li Liang first gave the kick to Jordan, and then ran empty-handed. Jordan returned the ball to Li Liang at the top of the arc.

Li Liang took the ball at the top of the arc, shot from one step away from the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer!

Opened, Li Liang's three-pointer opened.

Stotts felt bad and immediately called another timeout.

It's only been two minutes since the last pause.

Stotts is not only worried about Li Liang's three-pointer, he is looking at the long term.

He knew that as soon as Li Liang made a three-pointer, the Clippers' offense was likely to fully blossom.

After Griffin came off the field, Crawford came off the bench, and the Clippers played one and four.

The space on the court is very wide, and the offense is wide open and closed.

And Li Liang's three-pointer is a key for the Clippers to attack quickly.

As soon as the door is opened, the tide of attack will rush in.

So Stotts' timeout was called very timely, when the point difference was not widened too much, and it had not reached the point of irreversibility.

After the short timeout, Lillard went inside with the ball, causing Jordan's foul and going to the free throw line.

A very smart move, the Blazers need to score now, and at the same time the pace of the game needs to slow down.

Subsequently, the Blazers adopted a defensive strategy of letting Paul go. Paul missed a throw after breaking through the middle.

Robinson got a backcourt rebound, the Blazers pushed back, and Matthews rushed to the basket and fouled again.

The Blazers played a series with the Rockets, okay, you don't learn, but you learned a lot from free throws?

Sure enough, those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to the Rockets will make free throws.

Matthews made two free throws and the Clippers immediately counterattacked. Paul went straight to the basket and gave the ball to Li Liang who was keeping up. Li Liang then passed the ball to Crawford on the wing. As a result, Crawford missed a three-pointer hit.

It's also impossible for the Clippers to score all the time.

On the Blazers side, relying on two free throws and two relatively successful defenses, they stabilized the situation.

Although the score is still far behind, at least they won't be defeated in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides scored 29:19, and the Clippers led the Blazers by 10 points.

In fact, the Blazers are still able to carry the wind ball. In the first round against the Rockets, they almost lost the wind ball at the beginning of each game.

This is also the offensive characteristic of Stotts training. The so-called Flow, spends the first few quarters running in, and when it becomes smooth in the last quarter, it will be difficult for opponents to stop.

In 2011, the offense of the Lone Ranger was his training, and the most impressive thing about the Lone Ranger that year was the Jedi counterattack at the last moment. They succeeded in attacking consecutively in the last few minutes of more than one game and completed a major reversal. Credit to Stotts as an offensive coach.

So trailing by 10 points in the first quarter doesn't seem like a big deal to the Blazers. They are confident that the outcome will not be decided until the last quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Williams, who came off the bench for the Blazers, hit an emergency stop jumper first.

The point difference was caught up to within 10 points.

Then Griffin made another walking violation in the offense.

The Blazers relied on Robin Lopez's offensive rebounds to score two points, and the score gap was further narrowed.

But the joy of the Trail Blazers did not last for more than 10 seconds. Odom passed the ball quickly and counterattacked. The ball was passed to Crawford in the bottom corner. There was a big open space. Crawford hit a three-pointer!

The Clippers' second lineup still adheres to the word "fast". Every player can push back and even organize an offense when he gets the ball.

Odom, Livingston, Crawford, Griffin.

To put it more mysteriously, the so-called Li Liang-centered style of play is actually a style of play with everyone at the core.

Because Li Liang's own organization is just like that, but Li Liang's ferocious three-point firepower will make it easier for every player to organize, and the space will be opened.

Now even if Li Liang is not on the field, the first reaction of every player on the field is not to hand over the ball, but to find a way to advance, and then look for offensive opportunities to pass the ball, or attack by themselves.

Such a Clippers attack by the whole people is the most terrifying Clippers.

Subsequently, the Blazers scored 1 point by free throw, from Dorell Wright.

But immediately Odom received the ball in the low post and passed back to Livingston who made an empty cut for a layup.

After a season of hard training, Odom followed Li Hao's hard training and improved every day, and his state has recovered a lot.

He quit drugs and Kardashian, and he just wanted to play well in Los Angeles.

Although the state has not returned to the peak and is no longer the left-handed magician, the current state is enough to shine in the playoffs.

Then, the Blazers played and played, and the field began to be a bit chaotic.

Mo Williams once again chose a pick-and-roll and shot directly from the mid-range, but he missed.

The Blazers began to play more and more simply, without too many tactical moves, and shot when the opportunity came.

This was originally the essence of Flow's tactics, and it was quite easy to use in the first round against the Rockets.

Because the Rockets team's defense is just like that, and more importantly, it is offensive. The Rockets can't really beat the Blazers, and their outside shots are not that good.

The Clippers are different. If you fight against the Clippers, you are looking for death.

Especially in a fast-paced attack, once the Clippers get up to speed, they will be a full-speed aircraft carrier. You don't need to dispatch a plane, and you will be killed if you hit it.

The Trail Blazers, who were a little closer to the score at the beginning of the second quarter, quickly took a turn for the worse.

The Clippers played a 12:3 offensive wave against the Blazers off the bench, widening the point difference to more than 15 points.

Stotts could only call a timeout again, feeling that this timeout was not enough.

The Clippers haven't called a timeout so far. Rivers, if you help, they will call one too.

Sorry, Rivers is still better than Mike Brown in this point, ahead, what is called a timeout.
