Just such a bad lineup, remove the original Tony Barty and replace it with Li Liang, and play against the Spurs.

In addition to the double towers, the Spurs also have Avery Johnson, Elliott and Negro, who are the head coaches of the Clippers.

This talent and ability are not at the same level at all. Li Liang just wants to defeat the strong with the weak.

The first step he needs to do is to determine the matchup on the field.

The Nuggets' head coach is Bill Hanzrik. He played in the Nuggets in the 1980s and was an important substitute for the Nuggets in England.

Later, I became an assistant coach and this year I was the first time I became a head coach.

After this season, he disappeared from the position of head coach, after all, his record was too poor.

Such a coach cannot count on, and Li Liang can only command his teammates on the court.

My teammates really listen to him. There is no way. If my teammates get angry and don’t cooperate, they really can’t fight.

Li Liang asked Garrett to go against Duncan, and he went to deal with David Robinson.

Li Liang's idea is very clear. No matter how bad Garrett is, he was the center in the 1990s.

The ability and skills of low-post defense are still better than me, and the height is there, so let him fight Duncan first.

As for whether Li Liang can withstand David Robinson? What if he doesn't care, just let him beat me up and not let Duncan feel comfortable.

But the Nuggets still have to win, what should they do? Then they can only rely on offense.

As soon as the game started, Robinson jumped the ball and the game began.

Li Liang clearly remembered that the first ball would pass Duncan's hand, and then Johnson broke through and passed the ball to David Robinson.

David Robinson will use the ball to rush to the basket and make a layup.

Sure enough, everything was following the script, and Li Liang did not stop Robinson and watched him make a layup.

Then Li Liang immediately served Bobby Jackson in the backcourt and told Jackson to rush quickly!

Jackson quickly passed the half with the ball, and Li Liang ran to the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Jackson passed the ball to Li Liang. When Li Liang got the ball, everyone thought he wanted to slow down the pace and then pass the ball to his teammates.

As a result, Li Liang made a three-pointer without saying a word!

The second step of the plan is to take the lead in shooting the three-pointer.

Whether you can win depends on three points.

"Swish!"

Not bad, Li Liang hit this open three-pointer, and the Spurs players didn't expect him to shoot.

In this game in history, both sides made a total of 6 three-pointers.

The Spurs shot 4 goals and scored two, which was pitiful.

Using three points is the advantage of the times.

Next, the trend of the game is following Li Liang's plan.

As long as Duncan receives the ball, Li Liang will resolutely double-team. Duncan, you must pass it to Robinson, as you like.

Robinson dunked several baskets under the basket, but Li Liang didn't care, you dunked it.

Li Liang made a three-pointer from the outside.

Li Liang kept doing pick-and-roll for Jackson and Stich from the outside, and after cutting outside, he took the ball and took a shot with a chance.

Whether he enters or not, he depends on the large amount to fill in the lost points at the basket.

Li Liang scored three goals, which was equivalent to the Spurs' five rounds of scoring.

Because Robinson still had to make a free throw, Li Liang was fouled when he saw that he couldn't do it.

Robinson's free throw percentage tonight was 55%.

Therefore, they fought five times, which is equivalent to Li Liang fighting three times.

Moreover, not only Li Liang made three-pointers on the Nuggets, but Bobby Jackson also made three-pointers.

Li Liang was in charge of the Nuggets' offense and refused to pass the ball to the inside.

With the defensive coverage of the two towers, Garrett's offense is completely disaster-level. Letting him attack is a waste of opportunities. It's better to shoot for the outside line.

When Bill Hanzrik was suspended, he hoped that the team would play more, and was directly criticized by Li Liang.

The coach stopped talking, let it be.

In the first quarter, Li Liang made 4 of 6 three-pointers and Jackson made 1 of 2 three-pointers.

Although the offensive success rate is not as good as the Spurs, the score actually bite and tied 26:26.

Duncan only scored two points in the first quarter with a low single, with 3 assists. Anyway, he was very selfless in playing basketball.

Since I have double-teamed, I will definitely pass the ball.

Then, Li Liang stopped resting and continued to play in the second quarter.

He also has an important third plan, which is to defeat Duncan.

Of course, it was not to give him a jio and another elbow as Malone said, but to let Duncan foul.

This will test Li Liang's acting skills and foul-making ability.

In the first quarter, Duncan made a foul.

Duncan's foul control was very good throughout the game.

It can only be said that the Nuggets' firepower is too weak and it is not worth Duncan's foul.

In the second quarter, when Duncan came off the court, Li Liang continued to play on the court.

This time, Li Liang stopped throwing three-pointers, and he started assisting, supporting and passing the ball on the ground.

The Nuggets' offense is very simple. After a pick-and-roll, they will break or shoot if they have the chance, and they will play by themselves if they don't have the chance.

They do not grab the frontcourt rebounds and retreat with all their might.

This is all directed by Li Liang on the court, and he is tired, and he is both a player and a coach.

The defense has to yell, and the offense has to yell. As the yells, it really makes the Nuggets' morale rise.

This is Li Liang's fourth step, to boost morale of the whole team and stimulate the players' potential.

The weak defeats the strong, which depends on a sense of energy, especially at home.

When the Nuggets felt like they were starting in the second quarter, Popovich called a timeout and replaced Duncan.

At this time, Popovich was not the scheming Popovich later, and he responded to the situation and was criticized.

The situation on the Nuggets' field is very obvious, with three-pointers on the outside, plus personal assault penetration.

When Popovich encountered an unreasonable pick-and-roll three-pointer like Li Liang, he really didn't know what to do.

It's okay, just go to Duncan.

As a result, Duncan made a foul on the offensive end as soon as he got on the way.

He got the ball at the low post, and Li Liang came over to double-team. He didn't use his hands or feet, but he used his face to double-team.

As a result, when Duncan raised his hand and turned around, he elbowed Li Liang's face.

Li Liang fell to the ground with his face covering his face, looking very painful, and he almost rolled on the ground.

The referee blew a whistle and blew Duncan an offensive foul. Duncan was confused and my sister hit him.

The referee didn't know if you hit him or not, but from his perspective, Duncan's elbow did touch Li Liang.

Li Liang fell to the ground, he must have been hit.

Seeing the referee whistle, Li Liang got up from the ground, pretending to cover his lips and rub it, looking bleeding.

Actually, there is nothing to do, it’s just pretending.

Duncan made two fouls, and Li Liang had to seize another opportunity.

It is not easy to cheat the referee of the NBA. Without a certain strength as a foundation, you can only make you laugh.

Li Liang's approach is to shoot three points to attract Duncan's defense.

Li Liang took the initiative, anyway, his ability to "strong three-pointer" has increased.

He stopped doing cover and asked Garrett to come out to cover him.

Take cover when you leave the three-point line and then directly take the three-pointer.

No one expected this distance, but he even entered!

Three-pointers of 5 out of 7 were made, and Li Liang felt very good tonight.

If the feel is not good, it will be useless to make a move if you think of it.

Li Liang took advantage of the loopholes that the defense did not strictly control the three-pointers.

Li Liang carefully studied the defensive style of the Spurs in 1998.

Because of its double towers, the Spurs in 1998 have the best rim protection and best backcourt rebound protection in the league.

Rearcoal rebounds and blocks per game ranked first and second in the league respectively.

At the same time, their steals are the last in the league, and their opponents are the last in the league in assists.

This shows that they focus on the opponent's transfer ball on the defensive end, do not make oppressive defenses on the attackers, and do not make gambling steals.

It can be said that this defensive idea lasted for 20 years in the Spurs, and on this basis, Popovich repaired it every year.

It is precisely because of this defensive strategy that the Spurs are particularly afraid of singles at mid- and long distances - represented by Kobe.

Unreasonable one-on-one mid-range shooting can make the Spurs full of bags.
