Paul was still valuable to be kicked, and Tony Allen was sent off.

Tony Allen's defense is indeed not a big deal. As a second-place player with an average figure, his fighting spirit, skills, and consciousness on the defensive end are top-notch.

Because the Clippers are not strong in the second position, Tony Allen can switch to the defense No. 1 to the 3rd position.

Moreover, his retreat was very fast and he could always delay the Clippers' push and counterattack at the first time, which was a major obstacle for the Clippers to make fast attacks.

Tony Allen ended and the Grizzlies replaced Mike Miller.

After Miller came on the court, the Grizzlies' outside defense became significantly stronger.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Clippers slowly caught up with the score, and the two sides tied at 25:25 at the end of the first quarter.

The scoring efficiency of both sides is not high, and there are only a handful of quick counterattacks.

It was not until the last two minutes of the first quarter that the Clippers scored the first fast break counter-attack goal by substitute Darren Collison.

The Grizzlies didn't even have a quick counterattack. Even if they had the chance, they were always looking for stability and fell back into the position to hit the inside line, high and low positions.

After Li Liang faced Randolph, Randolph obviously felt much more uncomfortable.

In terms of weight and strength, Li Liang is not as good as Griffin.

But in terms of defensive skills, especially defensive enthusiasm, Griffin is still not as good as Li Liang.

That's it. Randolph still made 3 of 6 shots in the first quarter, made 3 free throws and 3 free throws, scoring 9 points and 4 rebounds.

This black fat man's inside skills are really good. With the siege of many people, he is not very tall and has average jumps. He can always find a way to get the ball into the basket.

Randolph's delicate touch is indeed God's food to eat, allowing him to play basketball.

The same left-handed player, the same black guy, won't talk about Jordan's shooting feel.

If he had the feel of Randolph, he would definitely not have been selected in the second round. Maybe the No. 1 pick is his.

In the second quarter, the problem of Tony Allen being punished began to appear, and the Grizzlies' rotation was in a tight position.

They began to be unable to defend Paul's point.

After being kicked, Paul seemed to have opened the Ren and Du meridians and took over the game after playing in the second quarter.

After continuous use of pick-and-roll screens, he made a jump shot at mid-range.

Mike Conley is a good defender, but it is really difficult to deal with Li Liang and Paul's pick-and-roll.

The strategy given by the Grizzlies is very clear. It is better to let Paul go than to attack and interfere with Li Liang.

After all, in terms of shooting and offense, Li Liang's three-pointer is too terrible, and once it is shot, it will ruin the world.

So Paul made consecutive wins, helping the Clippers take the lead, but the gap did not widen.

The Grizzlies are very tenacious and their defense is quite solid.

It doesn't matter if Paul can score a goal. Our strategy is unshakable, but we just don't give Li Liang three points.

Paul really has no way to kill his opponent by scoring alone.

As he was shooting, he was about to start passing, or he couldn't make it.

At this time, Griffin needs to stand up and score.

Griffin took a break in the middle of the second quarter for three or four minutes, made a comeback in the second half, and began to become the main output point for the Clippers' positional battle offensive.

Without a quick counterattack, the Clippers' positional battle relies heavily on Griffin's low-post attack.

This is an irreplaceable role that even Li Liang can do.

At the Lakers, no matter how accurate Li Liang's three-pointer was, when needed, it would probably make Kobe a low-level player and open up the situation.

But Griffin was not very efficient in facing Randolph tonight.

He played well when he was on the bench, but the main force came up to fight and couldn't withstand Randolph.

First, he dribbled the ball in the end, and then entered the inside line and threw it into the three-pointer.

Then the defensive end was teased by Randolph's fake moves, and Randolph made two points with a step back jump shot.

Randolph's inside skills are indeed solid and delicate. It is hard to imagine that this guy is so ugly.

The defensive end was continuously eaten, and Griffin wanted to get back the field on the offensive end.

As a result, the jump shot from the middle distance from the outside line was missed, and the pick-and-roll did not make a layup after the pick-and-roll went down.

Under the Grizzlies' basket, Gasollandov and his two men squeezed into the three-second zone and raised their arms, but they didn't jump anyway.

Their bounce ability and blocking ability will be in vain if they jump, so they just stand there to disturb you.

As a result, Griffin, who was slightly impatient, missed consecutively.

The Grizzlies seized the opportunity and cooperated with high and low positions on the offensive end. Gasol Jr.'s support at the top of the arc led the Grizzlies' offense.

Mike Miller ran out of a big open space from the outside, because Crawford came to the inside to assist in defense, freeing up the right bottom corner.

As a result, Miller received the ball and made a three-pointer, helping the Grizzlies to tie the score at 50:50.

Li Liang shouted at Crawford angrily: What's the use of coming in to assist in defense? Keep a good eye on the outside, the outside!

Li Liang was also angry. Crawford really didn't realize this ball, and his attitude was actually quite good.

Both sides ended the first half with 52:52.

Although it was evenly divided, the overall rhythm of the game was still in the hands of the Clippers.

When Tony Allen ended up because of a foul, the Clippers did not seize the advantage and made a water-like attack, but instead fell into a battle with the Grizzlies' position.

Li Liang's performance in the first half was average, making 1 of 3 three-pointers and scoring a total of 7 points.

It is very difficult for the Grizzlies to steal chickens from them. Unlike the Clippers in the past, they are full of flaws.

The Grizzlies' style of playing determines that they have few defensive ends, rarely have loopholes or backdoors for you.

It’s very simple to win, with hard power, and fight me head-on and win me.

If you can make a goal that others can't score, you can make a tactic that others can't score, the Grizzlies won't beat you.

Of course, Li Liang was not satisfied with his offense, but what he cared about the most was defense.

During the intermission, he communicated with Griffin and asked him, "Why do you want to kill Randolph to death?"

Griffin also performed averagely in the first half, with a strong offensive end and a very strong bullied by Randolph on the defensive end.

Li Liang said again during the intermission. He was a little angry and said, "Then why don't you fuck him to death?"

Li Liang said: Then I will fuck him to death! I will defend Randolph throughout the second half, letting you see what inside defense means!

After saying that, Li Liang and Rivers volunteered to let him defend Randolph in the second half.

In fact, Rivers is just thinking about this.

Whether it is Griffin or Jordan Jr., the defense of Randolph is not effective.

The technical flow of Randolph is not something that Griffin Jordan like Jordan can deal with.

Only people like Li Liang who have good internal and external defense skills and strong spiritual energy can deal with the Black Bear.

Rivers agreed without hesitation, so he arranged Griffin to play against Prince

Griffin was about Prince, a strong person like a griffin and a thin person like a witch doctor, and felt that he could swallow Prince in minutes.

Griffin also felt angry.

He accepted the coach's arrangement in these two games, which was equivalent to being a fake starter, playing for five or six minutes and then taking a substitute.

This will be a problem for Griffin to find the offensive state.

Griffin also knew that he was giving way to Li Liang's fourth position.

Because Li Liang did play well and the team was winning, Griffin didn't have a second thought.

But in this game, Li Liang's performance was average and he didn't perform much on the offensive end.

Griffin doesn't believe it anymore. Can you really deal with Randolph when you go to the defensive end?

In the first quarter, Randolph made a walk and defended one or two goals to curb Fat Lan who was in a state of play?
