Chapter 400 I don't want to pretend anymore(1/2)
??A jump shot from the ball is not Li Liang's strength, especially the mid-range jump shot after receiving the ball.
Such scoring methods like ancient people who look handsome but have relatively low overall efficiency are not in Li Liang's initial technical development plan.
In the system, his ability to catch and jump shots and jump shots are tied together.
[Emergency Stop/C&S jump shot: 50] Li Liang's ability to catch jump shots with Sam Jones has also improved because he learned to play jump shots with Sam Jones.
After losing to the Magic and the Heat in a row, Li Liang entered the system and wanted to continue to improve his ability to jump shot by emergency stops.
It turned out that the training content given by the system this time was to catch the ball and jump shot, and the person in charge of coaching him was the retired striker of the New York Knicks, Alan Houston.
Alan Houston is called the "King of Central Shooting" because of his textbook-like shooting posture.
In terms of offensive style, Li Liang and Houston are really quite close, but Li Liang's three-pointers are much more accurate.
After taking a course with Houston, Li Liang showed off his catch-up jump shot in tonight's game.
A jump shot is a technique that requires a very high level of physical balance and shooting speed. Moreover, the jump shot shot is different from the technical movements of normal open shots.
Regarding the shooting technique, Li Liang feels that he still has a lot to learn and craft.
He hit a jump shot at the beginning, and on the Rockets, Jefferson and Harden cooperated with a pick-and-roll, but the ball after receiving the ball was disrupted by Jordan Jr.
There was a lot of robbery under the basket, and Li Liang touched the ball again and passed the ball to Paul, and the Clippers' quick counterattack.
But this time the Clippers' counterattack was not made. Beverly broke Paul's pass out of the sideline, and the Clippers' outbound ball.
Learning from the lessons from the previous game, the Rockets significantly strengthened their defense against the Clippers' quick counterattack.
After Beverly came on the court, he had only one task, which was to prevent Paul from instigating the Clippers' counterattack from the source.
Beverly's "bite" defense is indeed effective.
The Clippers sent a sideline ball, and Beverly stepped forward to interfere, causing Paul to make a mistake in passing.
However, Paul reacted very quickly. The ball was stabbed by Parsons for half of the game. Paul stepped forward and stopped Parsons from the ball, so he did not allow him to chase the ball.
When Parsons can't start chasing the ball, Paul picks up the ball and reorganizes the attack.
When it comes to cleverness on the field, Paul is really unique.
If Cousins had been chasing behind him and Paul would have stopped him like this, Cousins would have regretted it and let Damn block the way.
With less time, Paul quickly took the ball through the half and made a pick-and-roll screen with Griffin.
After Griffin went down, he received a throw and failed to hit.
But Li Liang cut from the wing, nipped a light shot from the basket, and made a tip-in.
McHale was catching his head straight, how could he be everywhere?
The Rockets' offense still did not open, and Parsons missed a breakout shot after a fallback.
As the Clippers counterattacked, Li Liang received Paul's pass and made a three-pointer.
The opening 7:0 is still a familiar recipe or a familiar taste.
Li Liang scored 7 points by himself.
The Rockets finally scored, and Harden tried to receive an all-over pass after pick-and-roll with Jefferson.
Li Liang went to make up for defense, but Harden saw this and chose to make a jump shot by himself and hit two points.
Then Griffin was called for an offensive foul, and Harden used the cover again. After a circle, the Clippers' defense line opened wide in the middle.
Jordan didn't know where to go, so Li Liang had to go up and make up for defense. As a result, Harden made a layup, which also caused Li Liang to make a defensive foul.
"Why did I foul? I just rubbed him, and I just rubbed him!"
Li Liang himself made up for defense and had lost his position and could not create an offensive foul.
He wanted to interfere with Harden's layup by confrontation, but he was called a foul by the referee just after encountering it.
Harden stood on the free throw line and made a free throw.
Li Liang's response was very simple, and he once again got an opportunity to get an open position through running.
Received Paul's pass and made a three-pointer!
The two sides started with Li Liang and Harden.
Rockets players obviously have some problems in defensive communication.
For some reason, Parsons ran to the basket, and a large number of positions were empty on the left wing for Li Liang to attack.
For the Rockets, they used the double towers to compete with the Clippers in position.
However, Jefferson and Asik are both players with insufficient defensive movement ability in the two towers.
In this case, the requirements for the front line are particularly high.
Parsons is a second round pick like Li Liang and started his career in defense.
However, in terms of potential, he is still much worse than Li Liang, and his figure and body shape are not as good as Li Liang's size.
Parsons had a slight dispute with his teammates, but he immediately responded with a single throw from the outside.
The Rockets team has the boss and the fans are lazy, but the styles of the team and players have always been tough.
That's why Texas Xiaoqiang, the story of three-year lottery.
This also has a certain relationship with the folk customs in Texas.
Then, Asik had a big hat on the inside, and the entire Toyota Center was filled with joy!
This cap is really strong. Griffin wanted to dunk after pick-and-roll, but his arms were really short and he was blocked by Asik on the front.
Griffin seemed a little depressed, and short arms were really easy to be bullied.
Then, the pace of both sides began to hit faster, but the hit rate dropped.
As both sides entered the state, the Rockets' defense was quite strong, and they kept trying to fight and destroy the Clippers' offensive rhythm.
Griffin was hit again in the inside, and the person who blocked him this time was Jefferson.
Griffin beat Casby on the back and turned around and was slapped out of bounds by Al Jefferson.
Damn, do I bully me like this if I have short arms?
Even a player like Jefferson who averages a few blocks per game can block him.
Of course, Griffin's blocks were even more difficult, and he averaged less than 1 game, which was the same level as Li Liang last season.
Subsequently, Li Liang missed an outside shot and had a long rebound.
The Rockets counterattacked, Harden assisted Josh Smith who was about to go down, and Smith dunked with both hands!
McHale replaced Smith and Casby in the middle of the first quarter to thicken the team's forward line and gave up the double tower lineup to strengthen the team's offense.
This change in personnel is indeed effective, making the starting Rockets, which are a bit bulky, more flexible in offense.
The Clippers did not make any personnel changes. After Li Liang scored 7 points at the beginning, he fell into a short silence.
After he got the ball, he still played Griffin more.
Li Liang felt distressed when he saw Griffin being bullied in various ways.
This guy doesn't think about it. In the Lakers, who bullied honest people every time they hit the Clippers.
Li Liang's high-level lob was as comfortable as ever, and Griffin scored a goal from behind and hit Jefferson.
Griffin's inside offense skills are pretty good.
With 4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was still 20:13, and the Clippers led the Rockets by 7 points.
During the Rockets' low-post offense, Li Liang doubled over Jefferson, which almost caused Jefferson to make a mistake.
But after Jefferson controlled the ball, he threw the ball out, and Casby got the ball from the outside, and directly made a three-pointer and hit!
Griffin was about to get out, the inside squeezed Casby down, and the referee did not call a foul.
Paul quickly passed the ball to Griffin, and Griffin made a layup under the basket.
But after scoring this goal, the Clippers' offense was silent.
However, the Rockets had an offensive climax.
In reality, Jeremy Lin and Jefferson made a pick-and-roll, and Jefferson made a layup after falling down, which also caused Paul to make a defensive foul.
Paul's defensive foul was really unnecessary, but he really had no choice. After the pick-and-roll, he changed defense, went to defend Jefferson, jumped onto someone's back, and Jefferson would probably be able to complete the dunk.
Paul and Griffin are good at playing pick-and-roll, but the two of them are really not very good at defending the pick-and-roll.
"Damn it, damn short, can you defend?"
Li Liang's ball was moved to the bottom corner by Parsons, and he had no time to help.
The Rockets seemed to feel the weakness of the Clippers in pick-and-roll defense, and they played pick-and-roll in-cut for several consecutive goals.
After Li Liang missed a breakthrough attempt, Harden took the ball to counterattack and again covered the pick-and-roll with Josh Smith.
Smith cut into the basket, Harden threw a high throw, and Smith made an all-relay dunk!
As the head coach, Rivers replaced Crawford with just when Jefferson made a free throw...
