A bloody massacre victory, judging by the results, winning 1 point is the same as winning 58 points.

But the resulting public opinion results and psychological effects are completely different.

The Lakers decided to start swinging around, defending their championship in a dignified manner, and with the main roster largely retained and only one rookie missing, they were crushed by injuries, age, and various unfavorable factors.

Without the elder Buss in charge, the struggle within the Lakers has never stopped.

Jenny Buss and Jim Bass are battling for control of the team.

Jeanie Buss tried to buy Li Liang as her own help last season, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

How could Li Liang be able to control her?

The internal rivalry has wiped out the cohesion that the players built up last season.

Without Li Liang scolding behind with a hair dryer, everyone felt that there was no motivation to compete.

And the Clippers are on their way to the highest stage.

After the sweep of the Lakers, some media in Los Angeles have been impatient to start "honoring the king".

The Los Angeles Times devoted a huge space to announcing the birth of a new king in Los Angeles.

In fact, the playoffs are far from yet off.

The Clippers continued their winning streak.

Paul gradually found his form, and the fully fit Clippers finally appeared.

The team as a whole was at their best in the regular season in March, and they began to sweep all the way.

On March 8, the Clippers defeated the visiting Atlanta Hawks 121-109 at home.

The Hawks were still inseparable from the Clippers in the final stage of the fourth quarter, and then in two minutes, Li Liang alone beat a wave of 9:0 and directly raised his hand to surrender.

On March 10, against the Suns again, the Clippers still didn't give the Suns a chance.

At 115:100, it was another big three-quarter win that didn't give the Suns any chance.

After this game, the Clippers' record has improved to 56-9, which has surpassed the Clippers' 55 wins last season.

This is already the highest number of wins in a single season in the history of the Clippers.

The Clippers didn't stop them from continuing to make history.

On March 12, the Clippers defeated the Warriors at home, with a score of 119:97 and a huge advantage of 22 points.

Li Liang hit 8 three-pointers in a single game, more than Curry and Thompson combined.

And this is thanks to Paul's threading the needle, frequently giving Li Liang three points and assists.

It is said that Deron Williams will be strong when he plays Paul, and Paul will be strong when he plays Curry.

Every time he played against Curry against the Warriors, Paul was able to play well.

In the last loss to the Warriors, the Clippers just didn't have Paul and Curry to match, which made Curry explode.

Paul scored 18 points and dished out 12 assists.

On the bench, there was one player who played really well, scoring the second-highest score on the team – and that was Danny Granger.

Two weeks ago, at the trade deadline of the 2014 season, on Feb. 21, Eastern Conference giants Indiana Pacers made a shocking deal — sending former team boss Danny Granger to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for 76ers' top pick Evan Turner.

Granger was drafted by the Pacers in '05, and before that, in the 2004-2005 season, the hopeful Pacers fell apart because of the Auburn Hills Palace incident.

Granger, who slipped to the 17th pick due to injury, began his growth with the Pacers.

After O'Neal Jr. was eventually traded due to injury, Granger became the leader of the Pacers.

He became the team's leading scorer, the league's most improved player, and led the Pacers back to the playoffs against the Heat.

As a result, as the Pacers completed their rebuilding and began to challenge for the championship, Granger went down due to injury.

He followed the same old path as O'Neal Jr., who was traded away by Larry Bird at the trade deadline when the Pacers were in the limelight on the Eastern Conference this season.

Because in Bird's view, Granger no longer has value on the court.

The Pacers' record in the first half of the season can be said to be on par with the Clippers, and it was only in the middle of the season that it began to decline.

After closing the deal, sending away Granger, who rarely played on the road, and getting a healthy role model, Turner, most people thought the Pacers were making a lot of money and were one step closer to the Finals.

The Pacers have won back-to-back games just over the trade and are on their way to 50 wins.

As a result, on March 4, they lost to the Warriors, No. 5 to the Bobcats by 20 points, No. 7 to the Rockets by another 25 points, and then lost to the Mavericks two days later.

A wave of unexpectedly four consecutive defeats, and there is no suspense in losing every game, almost overnight as if you will not play.

On the other hand, on March 1, the Clippers chose to sign Granger, who was cut by the 76ers, to fill the void left by Caron Butler.

Butler has been out of action for more than a month with elbow and knee injuries and is currently undecided.

The Clippers need a spare tire on the bench to replenish their height and firepower, and Granger is undoubtedly a good target.

After coming to the Clippers, Granger seemed to be activated all of a sudden.

He played well in several games.

Including this big win over the Warriors, Granger's performance was literally a slap in the face of Bird.

By March 14, the Clippers had won 10 straight games after beating the Jazz 109-95 on the road to Salt Lake City, 14 points!

The Clippers are feeling unstoppable right now.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks at home, with 11 games left before the end of the regular season, with a brilliant record of 62 wins and 9 pays!

For a time, public opinion that the Clippers could break the Bulls' 72-10 record was rampant again.

After all, the Clippers' 14-game winning streak is too shocking.

It seems that the arrival of Granger has screwed the last screw of the aircraft carrier, and the big ship has completely stopped at all.

Li Liang played a crucial role in this winning streak.

He has completely become the No. 1 tactical core of the Clippers and the soul of the team on the court.

Li Liang's soul style is just two words - open hanging!

In March, he was getting better and better, not so much because he scored well, but because he played smoothly in every game.

scored more than 20 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and sent seven or eight assists, and the turnovers were controlled by him to about 3.

His three-point shooting has declined, his shooting percentage has increased further, and he has been in great shape every game.

There are no injuries, there are not too many ups and downs, the mentality is very stable, and the training is usually on time.

Recently, Li Liang postponed the completion of the system task, and after he increased his control direction to 50 points, he learned long passing with Slick Watts, and improved his weak long passing ability to 30 points.

After that, Li Liang stopped doing tasks for the time being, but concentrated on team training and practiced with his teammates.

There is no lateness, no early departure, which moved Mike Brown to tears, and felt that Li Liang had finally completely opened his mind!

Please, if Li Liang doesn't train at home, how do you think he has improved so fast?

The effect of the joint practice is remarkable, and the cooperation between Li Liang and his teammates has become more and more tacit.

That little jerky at the beginning of the season has long since disappeared without a trace, and the team's overall attack has reached a high level.

Gentry has played an important role in this, and in the design of his offensive tactics, he does not stick to a fixed routine, but communicates with the players from the overall offensive thinking.

The Clippers' offense is not blindly fast, although fast is the core, but Gentry has been trying to make the Clippers' offense fast and stable.

Li Liang and Gentry actually communicate quite a lot on a daily basis, a little more than with Mike Brown.

From this excellent coach, Li Liangneng learned a lot.

At the same time, Gentry also found that Li Liang's comprehension in basketball is stronger than Chris Paul.

Paul is already known for his high basketball IQ, but in terms of comprehension, Gentry believes that Li Liang is definitely at the level of "invisible elephants and loud voices".

Of course, these two idioms Gentry didn't know, he just felt this way.

The more Li Liang learned, the deeper his understanding of tactics became.

He understands that the overall style of the Lakers last season was "steady and fast", and it seemed that they were playing at a slow pace, but the positional battle was very agile and flexible, so the success rate was very high.

The Clippers do not have such a strong positional ability, so they must be "fast and stable", focusing on fast, but they can't be chaotic and blind.

As an organizer, you must grasp this degree.

Hurry up and take the lead, there is Li Liang, not because of how well he is organized, but because he is reckless and confident, so he is really fast.

There is stability, because of Paul, Paul can control the scene when necessary, and speak with experience.

After setting this tone, the two had a division of labor, coupled with the cooperation of the whole team, the players were in excellent condition and outstanding personal ability, so they were naturally invincible in the regular season.

This kind of fast-word style of play is relatively advantageous in regular season encounters, and it is easy to break the opponent.

Playoffs, hard to say.

Rivers sees this more clearly, so when asked about the Clippers to tie the Bulls' 72-win record or break 70 wins, he said that he would not deliberately pursue a record-breaking, and it would be enough for the team to get all the home-court advantage.

As a result, as soon as the words were spoken, the Clippers lost.

On March 26, the Clippers played the Pelicans away in what was their last regular-season meeting of the season.

Anthony Davis is back for this game.

In terms of strength, even if Davis returns, the Pelicans will still not be a match for the Clippers.

However, the NBA regular season has absolute strength and weakness, and there is no absolute victory or defeat.

The Clippers capsized in this game, and the fundamental reason for the overturn was that Chris Paul, as the team's starting point guard, scored two points in the whole game!

Two points!

You change to an ordinary fan and go up and get beaten up, and you can get two points for both free throws.

Paul shot 0-of-12 from the field, and Master Kidji possessed the body, which was a no-score.

Just rely on free throws to score two points.

When your starting All-Star point guard only scores 2 points, it's hard to win.

As a result, the Pelicans narrowly defeated the Clippers at 98-96 at home, with a narrow two-point advantage.

Li Liang's final lore ball is a pity that it didn't hit, and it doesn't always make you change your life.

Especially changing Paul's life in 12 in 0, it's too difficult!

After the game, Paul apologized to all the players in the locker room, saying bluntly that his poor performance had caused the team to lose.

Li Liang generously stood up and said: "If you can't shoot in the future, pass the ball to me!" ”

Paul didn't speak, no way, who made you hit the?

As soon as this game was over, the talk of "trading Paul" began to come up again.

Of course, this is mostly a joke, because the trade deadline is now past and it will be summer if you want to trade.

Although the loss of this game did not affect the momentum of the Clippers too much.

At the same time, Li Liang's position in the MVP rankings has become more and more secure.

When they are determined to win the league's No. 1 record, Li Liang's regular season MVP has also been put on the agenda.

The current accepted view is that if the Clippers can get 70 wins, then needless to say, this MVP must be Li Liang.

Sophomore leading the team, absolute core, beautiful statistics, 70 wins?

Even if he is an Asian who is not taken seriously in the sports world, this MVP belongs to him properly.

And because Li Liang made a fuss in the middle of the season, whoever was talking about skin color and race was putting himself on the fire to roast.

If you get 67 wins or more, then there is basically not much suspense about this MVP.

Sixty-seven wins is a hurdle, and only 10 seasons in NBA history have done so.

Eight of them won the championship, with only the 1973 Celtics and '07 Mavericks failing to reach the finals.

After '07, no team has reached this winning percentage again.

Including the '08 Celtics, 66 wins, '09 Lakers 65 wins, and last season's Heat 66 wins.

Because James lost the regular season MVP with 66 wins last season, if the Clippers can't reach the benchmark record of 67 wins, there is every reason for the media to award the MVP trophy to James.

James' performance this season is also MVP-calib, and the Heat's record is also running for 60 wins.

After hard training in the summer, lying on the salary, and transforming and changing, James's strength has improved.

Born in 1984, he will turn 30 in December this year, and he is still improving his basketball skills.

It's just that the promotion is not as terrifying and fast as Li Liang, after all, people are hanging.

However, this kind of improvement is definitely a significant addition to the impression brought to the media and fans.

Last season, people were tired of James aesthetics, so they gave the MVP to Kobe.

Now James has a new change, and everyone is surprised that "he can still improve", after all, it is often said that "by the body, you can't do it at 30 years old".

Therefore, James has an advantage in impression points, and if Li Liang wants to win in the MVP battle, he must completely overpower James in hard conditions.

For example, the team's record, which is the hardest.

There is also personal data, Li Liang's data is good, but it is still not enough to compare with the data blame James.

So, it's up to the record.

Does Li Liang want to win MVP? Nonsense, who doesn't want to!

Time is running out, Li Liang doesn't want to experience the same regrets as Paul, he must fight for this MVP.

If Paul dragged his feet any longer, he would not hesitate to scold him to death!
