On March 31, the Lakers team returned to Los Angeles to start training to prepare for the playoffs.

Kobe returned to the team and after examination by the team doctor, his ankle recovery was very good.

He began to participate in the team's training and missed two weeks, making Kobe very hungry against the field and victory.

This day, the team played a practical confrontation match, and the two sides formed a team and played very fiercely.

Kobe took the initiative to ask Li Liang to face him, and the two were on the court one-on-one.

During the away trip, Kobe was very unhappy with his signature jump shot at the horn position of Li Liang.

This person is so petty and has a well-known basketball superstar, and he is still competing with Li Liang for such things.

Li Liang is so arrogant that he has forgiven Kobe for such things as py.

But the two played very fiercely in the team's training match.

From beginning to end, Li Liang defended Kobe one-on-one. As for the effect... Of course, he couldn't defend himself!

Kobe, who had been resting for two weeks, was energetic and aggressive.

He kept punishing Li Liang with jump shots in the middle distance, and his various fake moves were dazzling.

Li Liang has tried his best to defend, his steps and physical confrontation are all good.

But if you want to defend Kobe one-on-one, that's really a joke.

Kobe played until he got excited and started showing off his dribbling in front of Li Liang.

He dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, turned around, took steps up and down, shook Li Liang away, and then made a forward shot and hit again.

"No more fight!"

Li Liang was furious and stopped playing with the ball.

Kobe bullied people and stared at him and beat him alone from beginning to end.

Howard Meeks and others, who were in the same team as Li Liang, just came to help.

Every time Kobe plays a single, they hide from afar, and it seems that they deliberately pull it away.

Mike Brown doesn't care. This is a real battle, and it turns out to be a one-man challenge for players. How do you be a coach?

Target, it's completely targeting.

Seeing Li Liang's angry look, he made the fire laugh.

Of course, Kobe is also going to make a comeback when doing this. After the training in the evening, Li Liang pulled Kobe and stayed to fight him one-on-one.

Of course Kobe agreed, this kid hasn't been abused enough yet?

But as he was fighting, Li Liang asked Kobe, how should McGrady defend?

Kobe felt strange, how can McGrady defend me?

Since his serious injury, McGrady has long faded out of the top star and is now playing as a substitute for the Spurs.

Li Liang said, "I think McGrady should be better than you in terms of offensive ability. Because McGrady's talent is better than you, he doesn't need any difficult moves to get the ball into the basket. Unlike you, boss, you're twisting and twisting, and you're dying."

Kobe doesn't like to hear this. What does it mean to twist? Is this called skill good?

However, after hearing what Li Liang said, Kobe also said, "Tresey is indeed difficult to defend. I have been playing for so many years, and he should be the most difficult outside line I have ever encountered."

Li Liang thought to himself, just like you are the current defense of commanding traffic, there is no outside line that is not difficult to defend.

Then, Kobe gave some answers to the technical problem raised by Li Liang.

The two of them conducted some drills, but after practicing for a long time, Li Liang felt that Kobe was talking nonsense.

It’s better to do it than to say it, Kobe said, “Instead of practicing, I’m better to imitate McGrady’s style of playing basketball, you can try it.”

After saying this, Li Liang thought it was good.

McGrady has a distinctive personal style in playing basketball. He has great talent, excellent skills, but is not as complicated and delicate as Kobe.

After the two of them fought for a while, Li Liang said, "You don't look like McGrady, you are not at all cool and dragged on."

Kobe was laughed at by Li Liang's anger. Isn't I free to play basketball? Is it a drag?

Forget it, whatever you say is what you want.

The two practiced one-on-one until very late. When Li Liang returned home, Zhu Shu fell asleep.

After having the late-night snack that Zhu Shu left on the table, I went upstairs and saw that the lights in Bai Xiaoting's room were still on.

During this period, Li Liang went out to play away games. I heard that Bai Xiaoting did a good job in her personal fashion show, which caused a small sensation in Los Angeles.

When he walked to Bai Xiaoting's door, Bai Xiaoting happened to come out and ran into Li Liang.

"What are you doing? Are you peeping?" Bai Xiaoting said angrily when she saw Li Liang "sneaking".

"I...what do you have to be worth my peeping?" Li Liang replied.

Bai Xiaoting glared at him and went to the bathroom.

Bai Xiaoting came out and found Li Liang still standing in the corridor, "What are you doing? It's so late."

Li Liang said, "I'll ask you a question, do you like Kobe a little more, or do you like McGrady a little more?"

Bai Xiaoting said, "Of course it's Kobe. I said I'm Komi, why are you?"

Li Liang said, "Then why do you like Kobe instead of McGrady? Don't talk about your appearance. If you want to talk about your appearance, you might as well like me."

Bai Xiaoting sneered, laughing full of disdain, and said, "Who wants to like you...I like Kobe because he plays better. Isn't this a very simple thing? I don't like you because you plays better."

Li Liangxin said that one day I will be even better than Kobe.

"Then do you think McGrady is not good, or is not as good as Kobe."

Li Liang asked Bai Xiaoting because he felt that some questions were asked by outsiders to see them, and they might be able to see the essence more clearly.

The so-called bystanders are clear.

Bai Xiaoting really doesn’t know enough about basketball, but because she doesn’t have enough, she relies more on intuition.

Basketball is often more accurate than rational analysis and data that is reflected intuitively.

So why do we usually check the reliability and validity of the data when there is a conflict between data and intuitive impressions?

Bai Xiaoting thought about it and said, "I think McGrady's shooting is not as accurate as Kobe. I feel that it feels like this anyway, and I don't know the specific one."

"No shots are accurate?"

Li Liang disagrees with this. In the system mission, he was almost shot to death by McGrady's pull-up shot.

If you can't say it, it was because of the injury and the waist could not be exerted, so it became iron.

But Bai Xiaoting's statement still gave Li Liang some inspiration.

The next day, Li Liang asked Wei Dazhi to find the 2003 Magic and Pistons video and carefully studied it.

McGrady did play very well in the first two games, but in the last few games, the Pistons' young player Prince was still very good at defending against McGrady.

Especially in the life-and-death battle in the tiebreak, he defended McGrady to 7 of 24 and only scored 21 points.

Of course, there are the contributions of the Pistons' defense as well as the changes in McGrady's mentality.

But Prince's defense is definitely a big deal.

Li Liang carefully observed Prince's defense and found two key points.

One is to make good use of the "handcheck" rules.

In 2003, the handcheck had not been cancelled, so Li Liang was not used to fighting two previous tasks.

He should make good use of it.

When Prince defended McGrady, he always leaned one hand against McGrady's waist and sensed McGrady's actions.

From the beginning to the end of the game, McGrady did not take the ball comfortably.

The second is to let McGrady use jump shots to end the offense more.

When defending McGrady's breakthrough, Prince's strategy is to always put one more step in.

This is related to Prince's physical condition, and his height and wingspan are particularly outstanding.

So even if he put a step in and McGrady chose to jump shot, Prince could still catch up and use his long arm to interfere with McGrady's shot.

This led to McGrady's continuous shots and his mentality was broken, so he naturally played very poorly.

With Prince's excellent personal defense and Carlisle's targeted arrangement, McGrady naturally couldn't play the same performance as before.

I accumulated these experiences through recording, and then watched the first game a few more times, and took out every attack from McGrady and analyzed it carefully.

Li Liang thought that before the playoffs began, he must beat this task.
Chapter completed!
