Chapter 316 Pulling the seedlings to encourage growth(1/2)
?The official suspension ended and both sides returned to the stadium.
Brown sat on the bench, sitting on Tyron Lou, and then went by Rivers and Gentry.
The Clippers' coaching staff is really luxurious, but the more luxurious the coaching staff, the better the team's performance, which is the same as the team's lineup.
At present, several assistant coaches with high qualifications are getting along well.
Mike Brown has no complaints about his relegation from head coach to assistant coach and is not the first assistant coach.
Because his current mind is not on money or status, or even on the Clippers, his mind is on Li Liang.
That's why he just asked Li Liang to "pay attention to the middle lane". This style of playing is obviously the way of playing for the core players.
Brown felt a little upset. He wondered if he was too eager for quick success or instant benefits when doing this? Will it help the seedlings grow?
A player goes from an auxiliary role player to a core player. The short ones require a season of training, and the long ones may require two to three seasons of growth.
And Li Liang...a summer?
However, in the team's training yesterday and the game videos I watched and analyzed before, Brown found that Li Liang had mastered good ball-holding offensive skills, and his passing ability had improved again.
This kid has a strong learning ability. Today he will try more attacks in the middle, maybe it will be effective?
Rivers didn't know that in addition to formulating a defensive system for the Clippers, Mike Brown was more concerned about cultivating Li Liang's personal abilities.
However, the two are not contradictory, or seem to be contradictory, but in fact they are not contradictory.
Rivers and the entire Clippers never regarded Li Liang as a rookie.
Instead, he is regarded as a strong support to help the already good Clippers go further.
Besides, Rivers didn't like to train rookies at first. If he wanted to train rookies, it would be better to stay with the Celtics.
In terms of strength, Li Liang has indeed become an ordinary rookie category. Many people regard FmVp's honor as a finished product.
While Anthony Davis and other rookies in the last class were still in the "growth trouble", for Li Liang, many people have already discussed whether he has a chance to get mVp this season.
But Brown knew that Li Liang was actually a rough man.
There are so many places to polish and craft.
Apart from Brown, the person who knows this best is of course Li Liang himself.
Li Liang knows that I am still a child on the road to superstar growth!
The first attack after the official timeout came back, the child broke through the basket with the ball in the middle, made a quick stop and scored two points.
He did not hit the board, but threw a hollow ball.
Li Liang was triggered by Bob McAdu. This kind of mid- and close jump shot, combined with a three-pointer, is really threatening.
Ibaka, who faced Li Liang, didn't know how to defend herself.
Turning back, Durant immediately responded with a mid-range jump shot.
Durant's jump shot was even more sudden and he almost ignored interference. Li Liang could not reach this level at present.
But he also has something Durant doesn't have, that is, his better ability to respond.
Li Liang's [Basic Pass] has reached 7o points, and with his knowledge of tactics, he began to organize the team's offense in the middle.
Li Liangyi organized the offense, and the Thunder defense was obviously a little uncomfortable.
Crawford made a screen with Li Liang at the high post and cut into the basket, attracting the Thunder defense.
As a result, Barnes ran to the bottom corner and made an open space, and Li Liang passed the ball to Barnes.
Unfortunately, Barnes missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner and failed to seize this opportunity.
The problem with Barnes may be here, his three-point shooting is obviously not strong enough.
But there are no perfect players and no perfect teams. The main significance of Barnes' replacement of Butler on the court is still his defense.
The Thunder continued to give the ball to Durant on the offensive end, and the person who defended Durant became Barnes.
Of course, Barnes couldn't defend against Durant, but his tenacity and entanglement always cause trouble for Durant.
Durant was forced to the sideline by Barnes, and Durant's dribble line selection had problems.
Ibaka came out to meet, Durant passed the ball to Ibaka, and then suddenly a Garne cut into the basket.
If the ball is Butler's defense, it is possible that half of the position may be missed by accident, and Ibaka will pass the ball to Durant.
Durant received the ball from the basket, and the score was definitely sure.
But Barnes kept up with the ball, causing Ibaka to hesitate for a moment and did not pass the ball, and finally returned the ball to Westbrook.
Seeing that there was no time, Westbrook missed a three-pointer from the outside.
If I don't enter, you don't want to enter.
Without Griffin and Butler, the Clippers' ball-holding attack vitality is not that fierce, but their defense is more stable.
With a steady defense, it is equivalent to the army having a stable rear, so that it can raid without any scruples!
Li Liang, who got the backcourt rebound, passed the ball to Paul. Paul passed the ball quickly and passed the ball to Jordan, who was about to get off the ball. Jordan, who received the ball and dunked with one hand in the inside!
The Stamps Center cheered everywhere, and the Clippers' pleasing quick counterattack will not get tired of it for a year.
Thunder’s response is simple, but it may not be necessary if it is ineffective.
The ball was passed twice on the outside, and Westbrook used Ibaka's cover to pull out his hand in one step from the three-point line!
With the second consecutive three-pointer, Li Liang knew at a glance that the ball was definitely not, it was obviously shorter.
Li Liang also wanted to rush to the basket to grab the rebound, but he didn't expect that the shortness was too much and would wipe the basket.
The ball just bounced back into Adams's hand at the basket.
Joy came from the sky, Adams reacted quickly and made a layup.
"Damn it, Westbrook is so unremitting to play by the rules!"
Li Liang originally thought that if the ball was short, it should rebound to a certain position and he could grab it.
But I knew it would be so short that Adams picked up a bargain.
But Thunder won't always have such a cheap price to pick up.
Brooks soon discovered the problems encountered by the Thunder's offensive end, and their position attack could not be matched with tactical cooperation.
Although they don't have much tactical cooperation.
But in the regular season, if you expect the Kings to play singles on the offensive end, the two of them will be exhausted.
The Thunder still have many small points-making cooperation, such as Ibaka at the high position and the mid-range jump shot after the two bottom corners are pulled apart.
When Li Liang arrived at the fourth position, this method of scoring was almost ruined.
It’s not that Li Liang is staring at Ibaka, but that Li Liang and Barnes have a tacit understanding of how they match it.
If Li Liang goes to Durant, Barnes will definitely take turns to take care of Ibaka.
This awareness is something Butler does not have, and Ibaka's scoring method is destined. If someone takes care of him, his efficiency will decrease.
Just so happened that his hand felt average tonight. After a few shots, he stopped trying.
In this case, the Thunder made the right choice, which was to fight for defense.
The Thunder began their "double-teaming method", using the height, wingspan of the outside players, constantly double-teaming, rotation, and oppressing the ball-holder.
Durant and Sefrosa joined forces to siege Li Liang, causing Li Liang to make a pass mistake, and Durant made a quick break with a steal.
At this time, Paul stood up, first assisted Li Liang with a very beautiful attack to make a layup, then switched to Durant's defense, and used his solid chassis to hard hit Durant, causing Durant to miss the shot.
It is still beneficial to being short, and the chassis is low!
secure.
Although Li Liang did not make a three-pointer from the outside, the Clippers were ahead in the score.
The Clippers have enough space and time to slowly consume the Thunder.
Durant began to gradually take over the Thunder's attack, but he had no choice.
The Clippers' defensive lineup was very uncomfortable for everyone else to play.
With 2 minutes and 36 seconds left before the end of the first half, Durant received the ball and turned around and made two points.
The score on the field reached 58:49, and the Thunder continued to fall behind by 9 points.
He would come over and Li Liang received the ball at a high position. He no longer simply helped the top of the arc, but could dribble and organize the ball.
He first passed the ball to Paul who was 45 degrees on the right, and then suddenly he flashed and cut in from the middle!
The body movement that comes into contact is exactly the same as Durant.
Paul was very clear-headed and immediately rushed into the inside and passed Li Liang's surgery.
But Li Liang caught the ball as soon as he got it. He cut in sideways, took the ball with the basket, and then what?
What to do then? I won’t turn over and jump shot!
With his jump shot level, he turned around and jumped up, Ibaka must be a big hat.
To be continued...
