Chapter 142: Reasonable and Unreasonable(1/2)
Don't play by the rules
Li Liang said this, but thought to himself, "You think of me, you have no idea. I want to pour chicken soup and let me commit suicide."
Li Liang is actually a player who plays according to the rules.
Since he just got the system, he has improved himself step by step, and has taken every step very well.
Practice three-pointers and defense first, become a popular 3D player in the NBA, and be selected to join the NBA and have a meal first.
Improve your organization and rebounds, and stop when the organizational ability reaches a certain level. Just be enough.
The same is true for playing on the court. Whether it is defense or offense, never do what you are not good at, and try hard to do what you are good at.
He rarely makes mistakes, rarely makes mistakes, is as stable as an old dog, not like a rookie at all.
Mike Brown also saw that although this kid is always talking nonsense, he is very stable in his balls.
This reminded Brown of a hot man who was once a Cavalier. He entered the NBA with a high school student, but he played very calmly and reasonably, and even a bit too reasonable, and was criticized to a certain extent.
On the contrary, when he becomes unreasonable, he can use explosive energy to destroy his opponent.
For example, with the Pistons in 2007, and the 45 points in the sixth game in Boston this year.
In Li Liang, Brown saw similar traits, although his overall strength was still far apart.
But Li Liang's shocking moves outside the three-point line made Brown frightened, but the effect was unexpectedly good.
There is also the exquisite pass in the first quarter, the occasional inspiration that burst out is necessary when fighting against top team-type teams like the Spurs.
That's why he asked Li Liang to sit on the bench and think carefully and reminisce about it.
During his time on the court, he was too reasonable and calm. As long as Jackson posted it, he gave up his offense and passing.
Although he opened up space for his teammates, Brown has realized that it is useless. Except for Kobe, the other people who shoot from the outside are not good!
Now, Li Liang realized this problem, so he should be more aggressive and more presumptuous.
Mike Brown remembered the Jazz game, and he had always been very anxious.
As a result, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, three three-pointers and one free throw were crippled, and the Jazz was crippled with 10 points.
The Jazz, who had been tensed up all the time, collapsed at that moment, and the collapse happened suddenly.
Li Liang thought, coach, you don’t know, I’m not doing it properly because the system sent me a task!
If the system does not send me tasks, I have always been a very scientific and team-based team. How could you misunderstand me like this?
But Brown understood what he meant, and he also thought it made sense. Brown was not in vain for several years as an assistant coach at the Spurs.
Li Liang made a comeback, and Antoine Jamison was also on the stage with him.
Gasol kept the inside, and Howard went off for a break due to a foul.
Kobe, Morris, and the Lakers also played in the big and four small games.
The Spurs also substituted the players. When Popovich saw Li Liang coming on the field, he immediately brought Stephen Jackson up and took special care of special personnel.
Being targeted by the famous NBA coach shows that Li Liang's strength and role have been recognized.
Both sides attacked for several more rounds, and both sides were very slow to score.
Li Liang did not go up and scored two three-pointers as Brown thought to stabilize the situation.
He still played reasonably and cautiously because he felt that the time was not yet.
The score on the field was 43:39, and the Spurs beat the Lakers four points, which made the Lakers very uncomfortable.
After a period of adaptation to the touch, Kobe began to attack on the offensive end again.
Li Liang made a pick-and-roll for Kobe on the outside, and after the teardown, Li Liang immediately sank the bottom line and took the defense away.
Jackson's task was to defend Li Liang, so he did not cooperate in Kobe. Duncan, the inside player, came to make up for defense.
Kobe faced Duncan, jumped directly, cut from a small angle and scored a ball and threw the ball!
43:41, Kobe is in a hot state tonight.
Looking back, Duncan missed a jump shot from a high post and snatched the basket.
Li Liang bent down and touched the rebound, passing the ball to Morris to launch a fast break.
Unfortunately, Morris made a layup against Duncan after one move, but he did not play with one or three...
No layups!
Morris' confrontation is not enough in front of Duncan.
That is, Duncan touched the ball out of bounds, and the ball rights were still in the hands of the Lakers.
Li Liang went up and touched Morris' head and said, "You don't know how to pass the ball. Do you think you are Kobe?"
Li Liang suspected that when he was talking to Brown on the bench, Morris eavesdropped, and then felt that he wanted to beat him more recklessly.
My sister, it’s not that easy to be a man.
This is a double-edged sword. You must use it well and have a clear mind about your state, ability and feelings.
The result of a few foolish moves is to kill yourself and the team.
The Lakers' ball rights were widened, and Kobe faced Ginobili's defense near the center line.
On the Spurs side, Split has appeared, and he has Tony Parker in the middle, and his attention is all on Kobe.
Kobe stepped forward and suddenly a long pass to the bottom corner, giving Morris the freed.
Morris made a three-pointer in the corner!
If you miss it, the ball is thrown wrong and there is no idea at all.
But Jamison grabbed the frontcourt rebound and forced his move against Duncan's defense, but still refused to enter.
At this time, Li Liang came out of nowhere, and gently tapped the ball among the crowd with his hands and clicked it into the basket.
A tip-in for Li Liang!
Where did this guy come out?
Popovich shouted at Jackson on the sidelines, why don’t you take your people well?
Jackson spread his hands at Popovich, and asked me to guard against him for three points, and the sister said he would grab the frontcourt rebounds.
As soon as the ball was scored, both sides tied again, 43:43.
In the last attack, the Spurs failed to hit the shot and ended in the first half.
The scores on both sides were low enough, and Li Liang's tip-in was his only shot in the first half and his only score.
After halftime in the locker room, Brown said to Li Liang after setting up the tactics: "You should still take action firmly and give the Spurs enough threat to the outside."
Li Liang said: "I know, don't urge me. I will be able to vote. It's not my time yet."
Li Liang's words made everyone amused, "Bruce time?"
Li Liang thought that you mortals will let you see my strength.
In the second half, in the third quarter, the Spurs suddenly exerted their strength.
At the beginning, Duncan and Parker completed a clever pick-and-roll cooperation. Duncan took the ball and swung Gasol away from the basket, and easily made a layup.
Howard still had to play inside in the second half, but failed to score twice. Danny Green, who was double-teamed, intercepted the ball and fell to the Malaysian party. Duncan once defended it.
Looking back, Split received a small throw from Duncan, and a master hit the board.
The Lakers still have to look at Kobe. After receiving Gasol's support pass, Kobe cut from the middle to the basket with a slow speed, as if he had a heart-warming spurt of the Spurs and hit the basket.
Kobe is in a very good shape, he has scored 18 points.
But Danny Green turned around and hit a three-pointer in the counterattack.
The Lakers' point guard has no sense of protection at all on the outside.
What should the Lakers do? Just count on Kobe.
The same catch on the left, Gasol had a screen at a high position and cut from the middle.
This time, the Spurs Duncan and Split slapped the goalkeeper and blocked the middle.
Kobe did not make a strong rush, but instead used a clever throw to cross the two and scored two more points.
Kobe made Popovich's scalp tingle again in this game, and the omnipotent Western Conference Madman is here again.
But Popovich still suppressed his temper and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and the pace of the game was still under the control of the Spurs.
And Popovich knew that after this game, no matter who loses and who wins, other teams could probably find the tricks to deal with the Lakers.
It's not double-teaming Kobe, not double-teaming Howard, not double-teaming Gasol, but staring at that Bruce Lee.
In addition to a pass in the first quarter, and a tip-in at the end of the second quarter, Li Liang's performance was far inferior to the previous few games.
Once he can't play, the Lakers will not talk about defense, but will not be able to open up space on the offensive end, and their tactics are monotonous and have no levels.
Moreover, the other substitutes of the Lakers, such as Morris and Jordan Hill, can play a role, but it is really painful to be hurt.
I won’t talk about the three-pointer. Jordan Hill came on the court, and that butter hand made Mike Brown want to go up and give him a blow.
