Chapter 499: The Return of the King(1/3)
James has already shown up. Instead of being passively beaten on the defensive end, it is better to respond to the offense.
So James has been improving his three-point ability throughout the summer.
After the start of the season, James paid attention to maintaining his three-point shooting in every game and maintaining his three-point shooting feeling.
After every day, he will ensure sufficient three-point training to maintain his three-point shooting condition at a good level.
For a player who is not top-notch shooting talent, if he has the ability to do so, his three-point shooting ability will never reach 90 points.
But through control of the feel control, rhythm control, shooting points and timing, he can achieve an excellent level of three-pointers in the game.
If Kobe is a technical detail madman and a tactical king, then James is a strategic master.
He does not have such an extreme pursuit of technical details, but he pursues the maximization of strategic success and the ultimate in efficiency.
This reflects different basketball thinking, but its background is the same, pursuing the strongest and most victories.
Of course, Li Liang took a completely different path - the path of recharging money, not right, cheating.
As the largest number one slut in Tianzi, Li Liang couldn't help but admire James's two three-point responses.
As a player who is not very good at shooting three-pointers, being able to withstand pressure and respond is enough to show his strength.
In previous games, once Li Liang used a killing move of sudden death, he basically made three three-pointers and his opponent collapsed.
There is no way to respond, you lose points in a row, lose defense, and lose focus on the offense, how can you not collapse?
Moreover, the continuous three-point blow has a great psychological impact.
James did not withstand the finals last year. After all, it was too fierce. Who can withstand this?
This time, James resisted and responded.
Then, Li Liang made a third three-pointer from the outside!
It turned out to be a hit!
It seems that when the opponent can respond, Li Liang has no way to use the counterattack to attack in a series, which will also have an impact on his feel.
James got the backcourt rebound, and rushed directly to the basket with one-stop in the backcourt. He faced the defense of three Clippers players and forced a layup with his left hand!
The referee did not call a foul on this ball, which was already considered a care of the Clippers.
After scoring the goal, James patted his arm and signaled that the ball was actually a foul.
The Heat is back!
Li Liang originally wanted to kill the Heat in one wave, but he didn't expect James' counterattack to come so fiercely.
Li Liang calmed down and organized the team's offense with the ball from the outside.
As a result, Li Liang was double-teamed by three Heats after the pick-and-roll!
It's really a three-person double-team, and the Heat are doing everything they can to stop him from taking action.
Li Liang had no choice but to pass the ball to Barnes.
Barnes didn't dare to shoot with the ball, so he rushed in with two steps, threw the ball, but failed to hit.
James got the backcourt rebound again, and he still crushed forward like a tank.
Li Liang followed, but James chose to pass the ball this time and gave it to Bathir on the outside.
Bathil made a fake three-point shot, but did not shoot, shook the opponent away and rushed in, and then made a close throw shot.
When Bathil was a child, he played as a center forward.
The hook and throwing skills are very good.
Everyone could see the goal that the momentum was deflecting towards the Heat.
Rivers called for a long pause.
Li Liang thought it was not good, and his three-point shooting rate improvement post was wasted!
It's really bad. I only scored two three-pointers and didn't really play the props.
With the in-depth research of Li Liang's playing style and the arrangement and targeting of his defensive strategy, it will become increasingly difficult for Li Liang to kill his opponent by chance like before.
Like the Heat, it would rather be a three-person double-team you than let you take action.
It is to target the problem that there is no second reliable scoring point in the Clippers field except Li Liang.
Griffin rested off the court, while Paul was absent.
This move by the Heat has worked.
Rivers paused and shouted without any problem, but the result was that Li Liang's props had passed.
After a long timeout, Rivers asked the players to grit their teeth and hold on, relax their mindset, and pay attention to their opponents' control.
Rivers also specifically reminded Li Liang, "Don't be too obsessed with three-pointers, you have other ways to help the team."
Other ways, defense? Or emergency stop jump shot? Or something else?
Li Liang's three-pointer, even without the help of props, his ability value of 9o points is very outstanding.
However, the current tactical configuration of the Clippers may not be able to exert his open three-point ability.
Without Paul, Griffin only scored tonight, and the Heat also double-teamed it. It would be difficult for him to open the situation with another three-pointer.
James gave a perfect response, making Li Liang dare not take the risk easily and then make a three-pointer.
A strong three-pointer is not his strength.
Before playing, Mike Brown patted Li Liang and asked him to play according to his own ideas.
But another coach had a different opinion - Tyron Lu.
The last time I played against the Spurs, in a more critical environment, Tyron Lu gave Li Liang useful advice.
At this time, he stood up again and said to Li Liang: "Bruce, defense, use your defense well, bite the opponent, and then give the opponent a fatal blow. Don't let them guess what style of play you will use, how to hit them, and put them in ignorant fear. Of course, defense, defense is the fundamental!"
In terms of how to encourage players, Mike Brown is not as good as Tyron Lou.
This is a big difference between a coach who has been a player and a coach who has never been a player.
Li Liang nodded, and Coach Lu's words gave him a great reminder.
Yes, don't let your opponent guess how you will fight.
In the past, everyone knew how Li Liang would fight, but there was no way to deal with him.
It’s not because Li Liang is so powerful, but because he has the support of his teammates.
Now that the teammates don’t have enough support, the opponent knows how you want to play, isn’t it going to be troublesome?
After returning to the court after the suspension, Griffin returned to the court and went to the sideline.
At this time, Li Liang rarely asked for a ball on his wing.
Back on your back? Li Liang, you, can also back on your back?
Griffin hung the ball to Li Liang.
The Heat obviously didn't expect Li Liang to catch the ball with his back. What's the use of him receiving the ball with his back? You won't play singles with your back.
Li Liang can’t play singles on his back, but he can pass the ball!
The moment Li Liang received the ball, the skill was used, and Bill Walton passed the ball behind his head!
Li Liang instantly felt that there were eyes behind his brain, and he could look around at the 36o-degree scene.
To be honest, this shocked Li Liang. The perspective of normal people is not that big.
But this was not a surprise. Li Liang had a gap in Crawford's empty cut, and a pass from behind the head was to Crawford.
Crawford made a layup!
Crawford originally ran in symbolically.
But Li Liangzhen passed the ball over, and the pass was quite accurate.
Fortunately, Crawford was very focused and after receiving the ball, he easily threw the basket.
Then, Li Liang strengthened his defense against the inside and obstructed the Heat's passes in defense.
James passed the ball to Bosh in the inside. Bosh wanted to make a layup but was slapped by Jordan Jr.
Li Liang immediately counterattacked when he got the ball, and made a soul into the midfield. He passed the ball beautifully and gave it to Griffin, who made another layup.
Griffin was really going to vomit when he had a cake tonight.
He has scored 28 points, half of which are assisted points.
The Clippers regained their advantage.
The Heat players did not expect that Li Liang could really use other methods to help the team.
This kid is really getting more and more terrifying.
Subsequently, there were continuous mistakes on both sides.
The Heat's offensive cover fouls.
