Needless to say, Teacher Tony's defense is indeed very good. He is worthy of being a defender that even Kobe Bryant respects immensely, and he is worthy of being a supporting character in major basketball novels.

Therefore, after scoring the goal, Li Ang continued to verbally provoke Pierce: "Do you have the heart to let your little brother face my firepower? I have already guarded you, and you won't guard me?"

This is what Li Ang learned from Kobe. Kobe told Li Ang that he must find a way to let Pierce defend him.

Although Pierce is a star and Tony is just a role player, from a defensive end alone, Tony is much more difficult to deal with than Pierce!

Tony doesn't have any tasks on the offensive end, so he can devote himself to defense.

But Pierce is different. This guy has to take care of both offense and defense, so his defense will definitely not be as superb as Tony's.

Li Ang now wants to keep stimulating Pierce and let him take the initiative to defend himself and reduce the pressure on his ID.

These methods of Kobe's are really bad, just pick the weak persimmons.

But... Li Ang likes it very much!

So in the next few rounds, Li Ang and Pierce's trash talk never stopped.

The attacks from both sides also went back and forth.

On the Mavericks side, relying on the system that has been used for a season and the complete Dirk, the offense is very smooth.

As for the Clippers, although the tactics were not very successful, the triangle offense often got stuck.

But there is really nothing to say about the personal abilities of Leon and Duncan.

Not to mention Liang scored a goal against Tony Allen, Duncan and Liang also had some beautiful little coordination.

For example, in the fifth minute of the first quarter, Duncan grabbed a rebound and with his back to the basket, accurately found Li Ang with a back pass, assisting Li Ang and easily dunked the score.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Duncan's back pass is very understated, as if he just threw the ball back casually.

However, this seemingly random pass was perfectly timed.

These small collaborations between Duncan and Leon are completely outside of the triangle offense and have nothing to do with tactics.

But the fact that the two of them are able to work together like this is purely due to their years of experience and talent.

Relying on the personal abilities of Leon and Duncan, the Clippers were stunned to hold on to the score, trailing by only 2 points after the first quarter.

A good lineup means you are so willful. Even if your tactics are executed badly, you can still have a good fight with your opponent if your stars are strong enough.

While the offensive system has not yet been fully adjusted, it is actually quite good for the Clippers to take last season's Western Conference runner-up spot.

But Li Ang naturally cannot be satisfied with such a result. The mission of 72 wins makes Li Ang unable to easily let go of victory in any game.

Judging from the first quarter of the game, the triangle offense was not very effective.

Li Ang is still patient with the triangle offense. After all, it took Jordan half a season to adapt to the triangle offense when he first came into contact with it.

But at this moment, Li Ang needs to find other ways to ensure that he wins the game first.

If we continue to rely on the triangle offense in this game, it will be a bit too difficult.

Therefore, Li Ang took the initiative to look at Dunleavy during the break: "We have to speed up the offensive and defensive rhythm in the second quarter."

Dunleavy was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

How can this be called having no opinion? This is called actively absorbing the opinions of the grassroots!

Li Ang then continued to talk about his ideas, and then Dunleavy and Lu Zi helped improve it.

In this way, the Clippers changed their strategy to deal with the Mavericks in the second quarter.

Rose is gearing up. He has a low presence in the first quarter and will have more opportunities to perform under this tactic!

The inter-section break is over and the second quarter begins.

As soon as the two sides came on stage, he heard the hairy girl stand up and shout loudly: "Come on, kill the Clippers!"

Li Ang glanced at her, but she raised her head slightly proudly.

Pierce also told Tony Allen: "You guard Barnes, and I will guard Leon in the second quarter."

"ah?"

"Ah, what? You allowed Li Ang to score 9 points in the first quarter. How did you defend him? In the second quarter, I will teach you how to defend Li Ang. Watch carefully. I will only do it once."

After saying that, Pierce opened his arms and waited for the Clippers to pass halftime.

Tony Allen shrugged. He felt that his defense was pretty good in the first quarter.

In fact, Tony's defense was really good. Pierce was sprayed on the head by Li Ang in the first quarter.

How could a strong man like Pierce hide behind his little brother?

Li Ang was very happy when he saw that Pierce actually came to defend him.

Li Ang deliberately slowed down the tempo in this round and did not play a triangle offense. Instead, he prepared to challenge Pierce at the top of the arc.

Pierce lowered his center of gravity while shaking his head and talking trash, giving him the feeling of rapping.

This is probably racial talent.

Li Ang just looked at Pierce with a smile, and then suddenly stabbed to the left.

Just when Pierce took a step sideways to block the ball, Li Ang used an almost non-decelerating change of direction to completely pass No. 34 in front of him.

Pierce's lateral speed is not top-notch. In fact, Pierce's defensive efficiency was not very high during his career until the Mavericks.

In the original history, Pierce's defensive efficiency only improved after he teamed up with Garnett.

On the one hand, it was because KG's spirit infected Pierce and made him work harder on the defensive end.

Secondly, because Garnett did a good job of wiping PP, it indirectly helped PP improve its defensive efficiency.

But now the Mavericks don't have someone like KG to help wipe out the PP.

After Li Ang passed Pierce, Duncan quickly ran out to make room for Li Ang.

Danpi wanted to run out, but his speed was too slow. Li Ang had already jumped up before he could run out.

Just like that, Danpi was dunked, and Li Ang successfully defeated Pierce in a clean single!

After scoring the goal, Li Ang shrugged at Danpi: "Don't try to stop me."

Danpi is wronged, I didn’t even want to stop you.

I can't run away!

Seeing that Li Ang easily broke through him and succeeded in a dunk, Pierce was extremely embarrassed.

If the defense overturns in the first round, who can be proud of this?

Pierce looked at Leon and then at Tony Allen.

Tony Allen is speechless, so you are holding back and trying to show off. It’s better for me to defend you!

Pierce pretended that nothing happened and ran forward, hoping to make a comeback on the offensive end.

But Leon's defense against Pierce was quite tight. According to Carlisle's system, he encouraged players to share the ball more on the offensive end, and even had a onemore principle.

That is, even if you get a shooting opportunity, don't rush to shoot, pass it one more time, so that the next teammate who receives the ball will often get a better opportunity.

But today's Pierce didn't even want to pass the ball once, let alone one more.

Pierce finally turned around and hit Liang with a back-up shot.

But the bottom of the basketball was rubbed by Li Ang, and Pierce was blocked!

The basketball fell backwards, and Li Ang immediately took off twice and caught the basketball.

The Mavericks reacted quickly. In an instant, both Tony Allen and Kidd had retreated to the midfield line.

At this time, Rose had also rushed to the midline, but Tony and Kidd, two experienced defenders, immediately surrounded Rose, giving the Clippers no chance to counterattack.

Before Li Ang could land in the air, he passed the ball directly to Rose who was running in front.

Rose caught the basketball, but Kidd and Tony were not worried.

It doesn't matter, Rose is surrounded and the first-year rookie can't rush forward.

Come on, it's so easy to play fast break in the NBA.

However, the moment he caught the basketball, Rose suddenly became faster as if he had turned on a multiplier!

Kidd and Tony were both shocked. They thought that was Rose's speed limit just now, because they were already trying their best to catch up.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Ross did not move forward at full speed just because he was waiting for Li Ang to pass the ball.

Tony and Kidd know nothing about speed!

After Rose got the ball, he immediately accelerated and passed Kidd and Tony Allen!

Tony tried to grab Rose's jersey, but only caught a gust of wind.

Kidd and Tony had goosebumps all over their bodies. Isn’t this a fucking rocket show?

Rose successfully got rid of Tony and Kidd, and turned the fast break opportunity that was no longer available into a fast break.

After rushing to the basket, Rose easily scored the ball with a layup, helping the Clippers tie the score.

The rookie did not laugh or celebrate, but ran back very calmly.
