In the first quarter, the two sides were in a difficult situation.

Although Goodridge is a little overheated, the Lakers have a good transformer, that is Jerry West.

The famous shooting guard, the Fast Gunner, the only loser in history, FMVP, has arrived in late career in 1972.

He is already 34 years old and his shooting skills are still there, but his legs and feet are no longer so flexible.

Bill Shaman has assigned him a new task this season, which is to let him hold the ball on the offensive end to organize.

In fact, many famous coaches in the 1960s and 1970s had a very flexible mind, and some strong teams had a variety of personnel configurations and were full of tricks, which was not what people thought. The so-called classical ones were rigid.

Shaman let West control the ball. The old guard's years of experience have left his organization completely free of problems, and he sorted out the Lakers' offense in an orderly manner.

It turns out that he acted as a shooting guard, and averaged 9.7 assists per game this season, which is definitely the super point guard level.

At the same time, he still has the strength to score. If the other party dares to underestimate him, the former scoring madman will teach you how to be a human being.

Goodridge rushed and collided, West stabilized the overall situation, and Chamberlain guarded the inside and restrained his opponents, the Lakers made a perfect season.

In this game, when the start of the game was not very good, West used his experience to stabilize the situation.

Several successful offensive organizations broke the Knicks' attempt to pull the game into chaos.

Li Liang made the final moment of the first quarter and made two long shots, with a score of 26:26.

In the first and second quarters, Shaman asked the team to strengthen defense. While he replaced Li Liang, he also replaced Pat Riley.

Riley, the later recognized magician of the NBA, was a younger brother of the Lakers in 1972.

Moreover, Riley is also a Li Liang's alumnus and a senior of the Kentucky Wildcats. He once led the Wildcats to the NCAA National Finals.

He can be said to be a famous figure in the history of Kentucky basketball and is also a well-known foul king in Kentucky - maintaining the record of foul numbers in team history.

From this point of view, we can see that Riley is a person who likes to play cards without following routines and often foul.

His appearance with Li Liang proves that the Lakers are going to cause trouble.

Li Liang found that playing with Riley was very comfortable because both of them were very smart on the court and loved to play tricks.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang walked onto the floor of the Great Western Forum Arena and lifted his pants.

Damn, the shorts from the 1970s were still too short, and I always felt like they were going to fall off.

In the first round, Li Liang caused an offensive foul by the Knicks.

He and Riley surrounded Fraser. Fraser stuck out his butt and Li Liang pretended to fall.

Riley just blocked the referee's view, so the referee blew a foul on Fraser.

Fraser suffered a loss, these two guys were very cunning.

Then, Goodridge rushed to the inside again, but this time he won free throws and made two free throws.

Then, Li Liang joined forces with Riley to surround Fraser in defense.

Because he had completed the mission of the thief Fraser before, Li Liang is more familiar with Fraser's ball path.

This made Fraser feel uncomfortable. He made a mistake and Li Liang completed a steal.

In the counterattack, West made a jump shot directly, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks fell into a disadvantage.

Li Liang and Riley slapped high-fives, and smart people played together, which made them feel a bit like a stinking feeling.

Knicks coach Holzman immediately called a timeout, adjusted the personnel on the field, and replaced Dave Debschel, who was resting off the field.

The one who was replaced was a bearded man - later famous coach Phil Jackson.

He was just a so-called man on the court.

Li Liang knew that the main person in this game was here.

If Riley is considered a smart person, then Debschel of the 1970s was even more intelligent.

He was selected by both NBA and MLB in 1962, one basketball and one baseball.

Faced with this choice, Debschel made the decision that an adult should have—I want it all!

Anyway, baseball is played in Chicago and basketball is played in Detroit, and they are all in Michigan, which is very close.

Just like that, he plays baseball and basketball. While playing basketball, he also has to act as the head coach of the Pistons!

It can be seen that the Pistons were so miserable that they wanted a baseball player to play basketball and be their coach at the same time.

Four years later, Debscheer completely chose basketball, and he was traded to New York and began to play his true value.

He was the first person to define perfect role players in the NBA, and he could do anything on the court.

His data will never be revealed, but with him, the team will win.

Such a person must be extremely smart to play on the court, and he can naturally deal with a treacherous duo like Li Liang and Riley.

After Debschel came on the court, it was not so easy for the two to join Fraser.

Debschel will come out in time to respond and provide cover for Fraser.

If the two continue to double-team, Fraser will give the ball to Debschel.

Debschel has a good mid- and long-distance shooting, a good pass, and can also hold the ball and rush in.

In short, if he is there, he must be careful of any defensive strategy being cracked.

Li Liang suffered a loss in the first two games when he fought with the blue-linked hero. He found it difficult and difficult to take advantage of Debschel.

Not to mention him, even a legendary star of history like Wilt Chamberlain was severely dealt with by Debschel in the 1970 Finals.

That year, Chamberlain was 34 years old and was still at the peak of his offense.

Li Liang's biggest feeling when he watched Debschel play was that this guy had a strong presence.

Whether it is offense or defense, he may not be the ending moment, but in a coherent way, there is always something he can do.

It rarely happens, and it follows both sides for three or four rounds, without any use.

As soon as Debschel came on the court, the Knicks' defense immediately improved to a higher level.

His nickname is Dad, and in addition to his last name starting with the letter D, he also has his defence defense.

Good defense is not just about pressing down or creating fouls. A reasonable advance position can solve many problems.

Playing on the court is different from playing games. You can use the perspective of God to know who is wherever you are.

When I got on the stadium, a group of big men stood on the stadium, and it was difficult to see the other people's locations clearly.

At this time, you need feelings, experience, tacit understanding, and some skills.

Debschel is the defensive core of the Knicks, and he can command his teammates to move.

He has been a team coach and has a player position map in his mind.

He knows where he stands himself, he knows where his teammates should stand, and he still knows where his opponent stands!

The situation on the Knicks gradually changed.

This change was not immediate, Debschel did not score crazy, nor did he have big hat opponents.

But after a few rounds, it was obviously different.

The Lakers' offense is no longer so easy, and Debschel's replacement is very good.

The Lakers' defensive pressure has increased, and Debschel's shooting from the outside has a great threat.

Li Liang watched and thought while fighting, and suddenly realized that the system was indeed good at it.

Isn’t Debschel’s playing style the template he is currently learning?

Think about the current lineup of the Lakers.

Chamberlain Howard, West Kobe, Goodridge Nash, McMillan Artest...

It seems to be that interesting!

First there was Havrichek, then Debscheer.

Then is Larry Bird the next one?

No matter how much I think about it, Li Liang still devoted his energy to the confrontation in the second quarter.

With the experience of the first two games, Li Liang learned about the game trend and the status of the players on the Knicks.

Fraser has a weak desire to attack in this game, and his main scoring points are Lucas and Debschel.

Lucas asked Chamberlain to take care of it, but Li Liang followed Debscheer in an instant.

Take a picture of the cat and draw a tiger, learn Debschell's playing style, and make a panacea on the defensive end.

Offensively provide cover to teammates and then wait for an opportunity to fire guns from the outside.

No sticky balls, no random beating, it should be as reasonable as possible.

Li Liang was almost moved by his reason. He should really come to the old department to do the task.

After playing this until the end of the first half, the Lakers and the Knicks were evenly matched, and the Lakers led by 2 points to end the half.

In the locker room, Bill Sharman praised Li Liang very much, saying that he played well.
