Chapter 143 Force me to make a trick(1/2)
In the third quarter, Li Liang's two sudden three-pointers stopped the Spurs.
Popovich asked to curb Li Liang's point throughout the game, but he accidentally got two gaps and fucked them twice. It hurts.
Mike Brown laughed loudly and said that his guidance was indeed effective. Li Liang's two resolute and decisive three-point shootings once again influenced the situation on the court.
Actually, he didn't know that this has nothing to do with you. Li Liang's investment is very reasonable.
As the saying goes, distance is not a problem, space is the problem.
There is no one in front of him, and he dares to take action even if he hits the medicine at the midfield line.
If someone stops him or someone snatches him, he won’t dare to throw him away no matter how good the rhythm is.
Half of the contributions made by these two goals are counted on Howard and Gasol.
Howard's attraction and defense and Gasol's cover and block people all created space for Li Liang.
In the previous few games, the two and Li Liang did not cooperate much, after all, they were not tacit enough.
After several games, Li Liang's three-point shooting percentage is obvious to all, and has exceeded 50%.
Although he played few games and the data sample size was not large enough, it was enough to show that he was an excellent pitcher.
If he can make a shot, Howard and Gasol are naturally more willing to pass the ball.
Especially Howard, it is very comfortable for Li Liang to feed him the ball, and he feels like Tekoglu, so he will deliberately look for Li Liang when he returns the ball.
As the saying goes, you can give it a reward. If you are willing to pass the ball to your teammates, your teammates will naturally be happy to share.
The premise is that you can score if you pass it, otherwise it will be a waste of your feelings.
After returning from the timeout, Li Liang finished the third quarter on the court.
After a few minutes, he did not get a good chance to make a phone call. After Jackson was scolded by Popovich, he tried his best to guard Li Liang.
Jackson is still very capable. Not only has energy in defense, but he also hit Howard with three-pointer in offense.
Faced with the Spurs' changing pick-and-roll, the Lakers always have personnel rotation problems, and it is useless to shout out loud.
But Jackson also had some resentment in his heart. It was a waste of time to let him, a veteran who had been famous for many years, focus on a newcomer.
Popovich criticized his slight mistakes without mercy. In fact, in basketball, how can every goal be defended?
Besides, Leonard clearly had the opportunity to make up for defense, but he didn't go either goal.
As a result, Popovich said a few words to him, and just passed by, Jackson, an old minister, was going to be scolded?
In the team, Leonard can start in the second grade, and Jackson wants to serve as a substitute for him.
He used to be a core player in the NBA team and won the championship with the Spurs. He was so unstoppable?
Thoughts on his mind, Jackson still completed his task well and did not give Li Liang another chance to hit a three-pointer.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides reached 61:63, and the Lakers maintained a 2-point lead.
Li Liang sat on the bench and wiped his sweat. He beat the second half of the third quarter and his throat was hoarse.
The Spurs' offense is indeed very good, with many tactics and many changes.
If you pinch him, he will turn around and fight with you in another routine, and there will always be a point that can be opened.
On the Lakers, Kobe is the most stable output. Howard's point is one point a little, but it just can't be opened.
The Spurs rely solely on Duncan, and they eat Howard tightly.
This Tim Duncan is indeed a person who plays but not a person. He doesn't seem to be present on the court. You will know that you really play with him. His defensive end is as stable as an old dog.
Basically, he doesn't make many mistakes, he doesn't have any mistakes, he basically doesn't have any mistakes or misses.
One-on-one defense of Howard made the Warcraft very uncomfortable.
The offensive end is occasionally played, showing the style of the MVP in the past, and it is really the older you get.
And this kid Li Liang is not old yet, so he is going to be a demon first.
Popovich emphasized on the bench that we should pay attention to the point of Bruce-Lee and not let him fire easily.
As for other substitutes in the Lakers, just let them go, including Howard and Ci Shiping.
Like Jordan Hill, in the last moment of the third quarter, Gasol received a wonderful counterattack pass and missed the basket, which almost made Gasol die of anger.
There is also Morris, I don’t know how many three-pointers he lost. He was there, and Parker didn’t use defense much.
We should focus more on Kobe and Bruce Lee.
Kobe, anyway, you can only make a shot if you let him make a shot. Try to interfere. As you make a shot, you might throw the Lakers to death. That's not something that has happened before, and you will win the prize.
As for that Bruce Lee, Popovich thought of the Lakers' former forward monsters.
Holly, who doesn't score goals until the critical moment; Fox, who can play basketball on horseback and shoot a-shot movies in Wen; Ariza, who can steal, layup, and serve three-pointers in one-stop service.
Hawley also played ball under Popovich and played an important role on the way to win the championship. Popovich knew how terrible it would be if you didn't pay attention to such a player.
The player Li Liang made the old hunter Popovich smell the danger.
The old man won many championships and wins in his life, but he suffered a lot of losses, especially in the hands of the Lakers, who were covered in blood and tears.
After the fourth quarter began, Li Liang temporarily sat on the bench to rest.
On the Spurs, Duncan and Parker were also resting, and Ginobili was playing the connection with a substitute on the court.
Ginobili performed very poorly in this game. He was injured and was older.
Although my forehead is bald, it is still not bald enough. I am not bald, so I am not determined to beat it.
Until now, he has scored no goals except for a fast break layup.
But he is still enough to organize the offense.
On the Lakers, Ci Shiping led the team on the court. With Li Liang as a substitute, Ci Shiping is now more physically energetic and can dedicate more energy to the offensive end.
Of course, it is also more irresistible.
Today, I scored 7 three-pointers from the outside, and I scored 1!
There is no way, you still have to shoot when the opportunity comes out. If you can't shoot in, you can't help. The Spurs will let you go.
Two older players, they took the substitutes to play for more than four minutes, and both sides kept making trouble.
The score has been scored from 61:63 to 65:67, but it is still a gap of two points, and the Spurs are still behind.
Mike Brown called a timeout and replaced the Lakers' strongest lineup, which was to put Li Liang on the court and let Kobe play point guard.
The Spurs are not in a hurry. Ginobili is placed on the bench because of his poor condition, so he still let Danny Green, who has a better feel, play.
Duncan and Parker were still resting off the court, while Mills and Jackson were on the court.
Green came up and scored a mid-range goal from the bottom corner, and the Lakers got a backcourt rebound to attack.
Kobe slowly dribbled through the half, which was a good opportunity to open the score.
Howard stood in front of Kobe and helped him cover, but Kobe did not use Howard's cover, but pushed Howard forward with his hands.
As he walked, when he reached the three-point line, Kobe suddenly closed, and then pulled up from outside the three-point line and shot!
Damn, he treated Howard as a siege shield, pushed the person away in front, and shot out of the space.
This goal was scored! Three-pointer!
With a straightforward three-pointer, the Lakers widened the gap to 5 points!
Stamps cheered, Kobe was in excellent condition tonight.
But the Spurs immediately returned one. After Kawyne Leonard surrounded the screen, he received Mills' pass and made a two-pointer.
The difference between three points.
Kobe immediately contributed another iron, Leonard grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Spurs launched a quick counterattack.
Li Liang failed to make an offensive foul at the basket and sent Leonard to the free throw line.
If you walk by the river often, you won’t be able to get your shoes wet. It’s impossible to make you successful in committing a foul every time.
Li Liang must "theorize" with the referee, but it cannot change the result.
Leonard made both free throws at the free throw line, and the gap narrowed to 1 point.
Mike Brown was a little anxious. Why did he call a timeout and the score difference narrowed?
Is this pause of love called for Popovich?
Of course Kobe won't let Brown's timeout be vain. He has completely entered the "no pass look" state.
In the backcourt dribbling, Li Liang provided a cover for him in the middle line. After Kobe reached 45 degrees on the right, he directly pulled out a three-pointer!
Going in again! Kobe's feel today is really amazing!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Popovich immediately called for a pause.
It's almost done, the old men have enough rest, it's time to play and finish the game.
In this game, Popovich was more abundant in rotation, giving Duncan, Parker and other veteran players more rest time.
After both main players appeared, they fell into a three-minute high-intensity defensive battle.
