At the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed the Suns by six points, 44:50.

It can be seen from the games against the Kings and Suns, two weak teams, that when Kobe Bryant and Gasol are absent, the Lakers' offense relies on outside fixed-point jumpers.

The outside line is accurate, this game is easy to play, and the inside line can give Howard space.

If the outside line is inaccurate, the game will be difficult and the opponent will tighten up more and more.

Howard's ability to attack is already poor, and in the end, it is a cycle of nausea.

Mike Brown originally thought that he would use Li Liang to crack the opponent's defensive strategy and drive the outside offense.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Li Liang's three points were inaccurate again.

In the last game, Li Liang rarely scored a three-point shot, and this game shot 0 of 3 in the first half, and it was zero again.

But Brown didn't blame Li Liang, and it's normal for a pitcher to have fluctuations in his hand.

Li Liang has taken on so much responsibility on the defensive end, and recently all teams have begun to study Li Liang's offensive routines, and it is normal for the three-point shooting rate to decline and be unstable.

It's just that he would have a set of hooks in the last game, why won't he do it today?

Did I even let him learn how to hook?

Brown spent halftime emphasizing tactics while thinking and wondering in his head.

Not only was he puzzled, but Li Liang was also puzzled.

It stands to reason that he is in okay shape today and has a lot of energy.

You can see it in the opening scene with the hat chasing Tucker.

Although he interfered with the ball, the chasing speed and the height of the jump proved that he was full of vitality.

But three three-point shots, all of them felt like there was a problem as soon as they shot.

It seems that this [Kodinger's box] has a little sequelae.

If there is a day in between, it should be possible to adjust it.

But back-to-back, there was no time to adjust at all, it must be the disorder of the ability value, which affected his feelings.

It seems that you should be cautious about using this thing in the future.

This spicy chicken props, one by one, have a bit of side effects, I'm afraid to remind Li Liang not to rely too much on props.

Of course, Li Liang's mentality is still very stable.

It's just 3 shots and 0 hits, what's the big deal, think I don't dare to vote?

As a shooter, Li Liang has absolute confidence in his shots.

He believes he will definitely be able to regain his feeling in the second half.

……

At the start of the third quarter, seats in the American Airlines Center were sparsely populated.

Suns possession, Dragic dribbled across half court.

The home stadium of the Suns has been renovated in the past two years, and the floor has changed from the purple and orange phoenix logo in the past to a SUNS in the middle.

This revision is really a failure, whether it is Sun basketball or Phoenix in the past, it is very beautiful, and it also represents a period of glory of the Sun.

Now somehow there's a SUNS subtitle in the middle.,Although it's very symmetrical.,But who cares about that.。

And put the word "day" in the center of the floor, how to look at it and feel stupid.

No wonder there are fewer and fewer Sun fans at the scene, the ball is not playing well, and the arena is becoming ugly.

Dragic has a Nash-inspired style of play, dribbling the ball around the Lakers' three-point line in search of opportunities.

He wanted to share the ball with Tucker, who cut inside, but was stealed by Li Liang.

Li Liang's judgment was still accurate, and Tuquene cut twice in the first half.

It's just three things, and I won't let you cut to the inside layup so easily.

The Lakers defended well, but the offense didn't score.

Nash counterattacked with the ball, distributed the ball to Meeks, who received the ball on the flank and shot directly after the jumper, missing!

"Damn, you attack and shoot quickly, why don't you go to the basket!" Li Liang followed behind, saw Meeks striking iron, and sprayed again.

Micsmon.

Before playing the Pacers, I was blocked for a fast-break layup, didn't you tell me I should shoot?

Why did it change again today, and it changed to let me go to the basket again?

Meeks is so naïve, do you think Li Liang is going to guide you?

He just wants to scold you, as long as you don't enter, he will always have a way to scold you.

This counterattack missed, giving the Suns a chance.

Dragic dribbled and broke through with the ball and made a layup.

He doesn't break through fast, but he's very agile and rhythmic, and he's left-handed, which makes defenders a little uncomfortable.

After scoring this goal, the Suns did not play more smoothly on the offensive end, and the Lakers' defense still made them very uncomfortable.

Especially Li Liang, tonight he made all kinds of steals and filled in the position.

But the problem is that the Lakers' offense is really poor, giving the Suns too many opportunities to counterattack quickly and gain a foothold.

In the third quarter, the Suns scored 22 points, which is not a high score.

But the Lakers were even worse, scoring only 16 points and shooting 1 of 7 from the outside three-point range!

Among them, Li Liang missed two attempts, which made him very annoyed.

At the end of the third quarter of the game, Li Liang sat on the bench and wondered if he should use props in the fourth quarter?

The score has become 60-72, and the Lakers are 12 points behind.

Li Liang's three-point shot was 0 of 5 shots, and he thought to himself, last time he completed the task of "Kobe Bryant's heir", is it really going to become Kobe?

It's okay to become Kobe, take its essence and remove its dross, how can you opt for the dross?

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Mike Brown put Li Liang and Howard on the bench and continued to send a bench lineup.

It looks like the bench will play for a while, and if it doesn't work, they will simply give up.

After all, there is no pressure on the record, and back-to-back, the veteran players are tired.

Jamison threw two threes tonight, which was clearly a fitness issue.

Nash's mistakes also reached 4 times, which is very rare, and if he really can't beat it, then don't fight.

As a result, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

On the Suns' side, Beasley missed a single shot in the low post, the Suns grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and Scola still didn't score again.

The Lakers fought back, and Jamison missed a hook shot in the low post.

Suns, outside line Wes Johnson misses three-point shot.

Then, when Howard was in the low post, he was whistled for an offensive foul by the referee.

Both sides played a botched game on the offensive end, and the Suns didn't play well, but the Lakers were even worse.

Mike Brown was on the sidelines, looking a little impatient and a little helpless.

He's waiting that if the team can close the deficit to within 10 points before six minutes, then this game should continue to fight for a win.

If at the time of 6 minutes, the difference is not narrowed, or even widened, then you can give up.

Save your strength and let Howard and Nash rest well.

At this point, Kendall Marshall made a very simple pick-and-roll with Luis Scola on the outside and then returned the ball to Scola.

Scola didn't seriously block the ball at all, and then after dismantling it, he didn't take the initiative to cut outside or inside, just stood there and didn't move.

After receiving the ball, he glanced at Howard two steps away from him and made a direct mid-range jumper.

The ball hits accurately!

It's over, and the Lakers' defensive spirit in this game has been lost.

Then, Ci Shiping made an empty three-point position on the outside, and the Sun was not guarded at all.

The defenders all retreated to the center and flanks to prevent the Lakers players from cutting in, and let Ci Shiping make a three-point shot.

Ci Shiping didn't score a single three points tonight, and this is of course no exception.

The ball hit the neck of the basket, which was not accurate at all.

Scola got the rebound in the backcourt, and Beasley asked for the ball in the low post on the right wing.

The ball passed into Beasley's hands, and he was one-on-one with Ci Shiping.

Beasley's singles are still very good, and he took advantage of Ci Shiping's weakness of slow footwork to pass Ci Shiping from the bottom line.

Then hit the basket, and under Howard's supplemental defense, he used a backhand lever to hit a layup!

The ball was played beautifully, stretching the gap between the two sides to 16 points while halting the Lakers.

Mike Brown is about to give up, he replaces Howard, Ci Shiping, and is ready to put Thackeray, Ibanks and others on the court.

At this time, Li Liang stood up and said, "Mike, replace me on the field." ”

Brown said, "No, you ......"

"Mike!" Li Liang raised his voice.

Mike Brown didn't say no again, he nodded and agreed to Li Liang to reappear.

"The team can do the waiver, I won't." Li Liangdao.
