The third game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers was just one day apart at the Moda Center in Portland.

The NBA playoffs are still very tight, and there is not much time left for the players to rest and adjust. The games are played one after another.

Li Liang won the MVP, won the second game, and received blessings from all parties.

Dad Gan Guoqing is mainly concerned about the advertisement of his own tractor factory. He called Li Liang to make a suggestion and asked Li Liang to help their tractor agency sales company to advertise the product. !"

Li Liang thought, the MVP among tractors is still a tractor!

It cannot be turned into a sports car, nor can it be turned into a tank.

Li Liang didn't blame his father, he used the excuse that the game was busy, he had to fly, the signal was not good, and the wind was too strong.

Li Liang thought to himself that Kobe had acted as a shield before and helped take a set of advertising signs.

Who are we going to find this time? Paul? Or Griffin? still……

Li Liang suddenly thought that Jordan seems to have graduated from Texas A\u0026M University!

Little Jordan can do it. This is a professional counterpart. Wouldn’t it be a pity not to do tractor advertisements?

Li Liang silently recorded Xiao Qiaodan in his notebook, planning to assign him the job of tractor advertising in the future.

In terms of figure and appearance, this guy really matches the tractor.

After worrying about the advertisement for a while, Li Liang turned his attention back to the game.

Although Li Liang despises the Trail Blazers strategically, he still needs to pay attention to this team tactically.

The Blazers have experienced two big defeats, and they will definitely make major adjustments after returning to the home court.

The Clippers' current strategy is to remain unchanged and respond to all changes. Let's see what tricks the Blazers can play.

So after coming to Portland, Rivers did not organize the team to conduct long-term tactical training, but only asked everyone to take a good rest and get ready for the evening game.

The game was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Pacific time, and the Moda Center was already full of spectators.

As the only professional team in Oregon, the Blazers have always had a good ball market regardless of their record.

Although the Trail Blazers failed to win the championship after 1977, they were a strong team in the West most of the time.

Teams like the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Pacers, and Nuggets are all like this. They have no championship chances, but their strength should not be underestimated.

Occasionally, in some years, the strength of the championship will be impacted. After the decline, they can quickly complete the reconstruction and return to the ranks of strong teams.

So although they live in a small market and cannot attract big-name stars, they have a stable and loyal fan base, which is a very important force in the NBA.

To be honest, after Li Liang came to Portland, he felt comfortable playing in such a small market.

After staying in Los Angeles for two years, Li Liang didn't really enjoy the prosperity here. He is not a person who likes to join in the fun.

It stands to reason that with his current achievements and celebrity status, in a place like Los Angeles, he will have scandals with a few female stars, become friends with a few Hollywood big names, and then invest in restaurants, build a brand, and engage in charity, soon. You can mix into the high class in Los Angeles and become the focus of many banquets and parties.

But Li Liang didn't. He spent most of his time training (sleeping), spending time with Zhu Shu, traveling, and exercising.

He didn't have much interest in those social activities in the upper class, which had something to do with Li Liang's growth experience.

If he was a rich second generation who grew up in a big city, he would probably be well adapted to the social life of the upper class.

But when he was a child, his family was poor. His father was just a worker in a tractor factory, and the toy he played with the most since he was a child was a tractor.

He has touched all kinds of tractors, from the walk-behind tractors in the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River to the large tractors in the northern farms, which constitute his childhood memories.

So, when his father asked him to be the spokesperson for the tractor, he was still a little tempted, but for the sake of his own image, he held back!

As for his family becoming rich later, Li Liang had more hobbies and saw a wider world.

But some things in his bones will not change. In this regard, Wei Dazhi, who was born in a scholarly family, is different from Li Liang.

He can get along very well in that circle, although he looks like a pig butcher, but his spiritual attributes are different, so people should not be judged by appearance.

So when he came to Portland, Li Liang knew that he was here to take away the victory, and the Portland fans had always disliked Li Liang, and the amount of anger they contributed to Li Liang was the highest in the league.

But Li Liang doesn't hate this place, nor does he hate Portland fans and their enthusiasm.

He just felt that since you are so enthusiastic, then of course I have to play well and make your tickets worth the fare.

...

Before the start of the game, the camera kept showing Li Liang, and Li Liang was smiling all over his face.

The local TV station in Portland offered advice and suggestions to the Blazers, believing that the key to the Blazers' victory is whether they can contain Li Liang.

"He's been amazing in the playoffs."

"We thought he was just the MVP of the regular season, but we didn't expect it to be the same in the playoffs."

Such headlines frequently appear on the headlines of Portland's local sports media.

Yes, others like ESPN, The New Yorker, etc., can make a big fuss about the topic of "Li Liang took away James' MVP".

But you are talkative, we Portlanders are really being beaten!

Just like the media in New York, please stop beeping. Just like the Knicks, they were second in the Eastern Conference last year and didn’t make the playoffs this year.

Portland TV's advice is certainly good, but it's the same as saying nothing.

How to beat the Chicago Bulls? Contain Jordan, but have you contained it?

Of course Li Liang has not reached Jordan's level, and there is actually a way to contain Li Liang.

It's a pity that Stotts and the Blazers' defensive coaching staff couldn't think of it.

Or they thought about it, but couldn't do it.

Therefore, the starting lineups of both sides have not changed compared with the previous game.

Of course the Clippers will not change, and the Blazers want to change, but they can't find a point to change.

No one on the Blazers bench can stand up and say that switching him to the starting lineup will make an immediate change.

As for how to deal with Li Liang, Stotts of course thought of a way. Whether it works or not will be determined in the game.

At the Moda Center, the Blazers put on white jerseys and the Clippers wore light blue jerseys.

At the beginning, Jordan still took the lead in jumping the ball, and the Clippers started their first offense.

On the first offense and defense, everyone noticed the changes in the Blazers' defensive matchups.

The Blazers asked Matthews to face Paul, and then let Lillard defend Li Liang!

That's right, Stotts asked Lillard to defend Li Liang!

At first glance, Stotts would definitely think that he was crazy, but in fact Stotts himself thought he was crazy.

Isn't it funny that Lillard defends against Li Liang?

Although it is not impossible to defend against big players, such as Tony Allen's defense against Durant, Paul's defense against Durant, and Jackson's defense against Nowitzki are all particularly effective.

But first of all, if this little man is a defensive master himself.

Secondly, in terms of the technical characteristics of the players he is facing... Not to mention, Li Liang really fits the technical characteristics of the defenseman, the defender.

That is, the speed and explosive power are average, and he is good at shooting. The offensive skills are single and flawed. He has an advantage in height, but he does not have an absolute advantage in strength.

For those with an absolute advantage in strength, such as James, the small defense is basically a dead end, unless it is Barea.

Also in terms of offensive skills, Nowitzki in 2007 and Durant in the early years have relatively single offensive skills. Once they are successful, it basically makes no difference who will defend.

If the offensive skills are comprehensive and there are no dead ends, the small defense is not as good as the big defense, and the big defense can at least scare him.

Stotts thought very well, and the opening effect was really good.

At the beginning of the game, Lillard seemed to be glued to Li Liang, following him tightly, not catching the ball for Li Liang.

Even if you catch the ball, you won't be given a chance to relax, and Lillard should have studied Paul's defensive video and adopted the hard top method. When Li Liang gets the ball, he goes up and doesn't give him room to move.

This defense made Li Liang very uncomfortable.

However, Li Liang expected to receive special treatment before the game, so Li Liang did not insist on competing with Lillard after the opening game. The Clippers' offensive focus was still on Paul and Griffin.

In the opening five minutes, the two sides reached 12:9, and the Clippers led the Blazers by 3 points.

The two sides played very smoothly, there was no foul, and the coaches on both sides did not call a timeout.

So the game went into a nasty official timeout, with Li Liang taking just one shot in the first five minutes, no hits, no points.

Correspondingly, the Blazers scored mainly from Aldridge. He made three of four shots and scored 6 of 9 points.

And Lillard also didn't score, tried a three-pointer and missed.

It seems that Stotts wants to exchange Lillard and Li Liang?

This might be a way.
