Chapter 57: The Nameless
The game was played intermittently for more than an hour.
Every once in a while, Calipari would stop and let the freshman and sophomore discuss countermeasures with him.
Compared to the sophisticated teams of junior and senior teams, although the freshmen in the first and second graders have stronger personal abilities, they are obviously not very adaptable to it when they have just advanced from high school.
After making mistakes in two passes to Noel, Goodwin began to choose to attack with the ball.
And Purisrius does it himself when he gets the ball, and passes the ball, etc., none exists.
Li Liang made several offensive fouls on the defensive end, but his contribution was limited.
He will not be enabled for the inside defense mission module in a short period of time, so he lacks the skills of some inside players to get a position, make up for defense, and catch backcourt rebounds.
Noel took advantage of his height and grabbed a few frontcourt rebounds in the inside, and dunking two of them was considered anger.
But when he turned around, Noel was in trouble on the defensive end, and Li Liang squatted outside the three-point line and didn't go out at all.
Noel was in a dilemma. Let's go in. Li Liang was so accurate that he was scary.
If you don't go in? Noel is abolished on the defensive end.
In the first and second groups of the first and second groups, there is a lack of tacit understanding between players in defense, and everyone is just one defense.
You can't defend against the position?
Then you are really trash.
Co-visit, fill up, rotate?
Sorry, this is the time to show your personal abilities in the team competition.
In an hour's game, Li Liang made 9 of 15 shots from outside the three-point line, and Noel was defeated.
Li Liang is not just accurate, the key is that he stands far.
The farthest step is one step further than the NBA's three-point line, which is more than two meters away from the NCAA's three-point line, giving people the feeling that it is completely impossible to take action.
As a result, Li Liang came and opened his hand as soon as he received the ball.
Li Liang's open three-point score was good, but Noel hesitated again, giving Li Liang a chance to make the feel.
After the touch was cast, he stood farther and farther, opening up enough space for his teammates.
Later, Cowley Stan replaced Noel, and Li Liang continued to make an elevated turret on the offensive end. Anyway, I will catch the ball at a fixed point.
If there is no one to guard against me, I will be able to fight against me. If there is someone to guard against me, I will be able to pass. Once the pass is passed, I will be able to get a gap.
This three-pointer made Calipari jealous and thought to himself, why didn't Bruce Lee show such strength before?
After graduation, I felt that my strength suddenly increased. I spent four years of water dispenser to raise him in vain.
Calipari had the idea of asking Li Liang for his graduation certificate in his mind, so that he would continue to study in Kentucky for a year.
Li Liang's three-pointer style is indeed rare in NCAA.
First, the academy coaches don’t like this kind of gambling style, and second, the shooting skills of college players are not stable enough.
Even top NCAA shooters like Redick choose to shoot near the three-point line.
Like Li Liang, it is extremely rare to throw at the distance of the NBA three-point line, or even further away.
In modern basketball courts, as the players' speed gets faster and faster, their explosive power becomes stronger and stronger, and their bodies become stronger, the court space becomes narrower.
Because the three-point line is closer than the NBA, the space is more crowded because it does not have three seconds to defend when defending.
If there is a turret that opens up space, even if it lasts ten minutes per game, it will have miraculous tactical effects.
The more Kalipari thought about it, the more distressed he felt, the more he didn't understand. What happened to Bruce Lee?
Are you targeting me? Everything comes as soon as you graduate?
After the match, the junior third and fourth teams could not keep up with the physical strength, and the freshman first and second teams slowly regained a little advantage.
But Calipari no longer wanted to watch it anymore. He ended the confrontation and let everyone go to the locker room to change clothes and rest.
Li Liang was called aside by Kalipari, and he hugged Li Liang's shoulder and said, "Bruce, he performed well, defended and three-pointers, which is very consistent with the current trend of NBA. Can you tell me how to practice?"
Li Liang thought about it and definitely couldn't tell Kalipari that he had a system. He scratched his face and said, "Actually, I spent money to hire several of the most famous trainers from NBA to do special training for me, so I made great progress."
Kalipari knew that Li Liang's father was rich, so he could explain it like this.
But as a senior basketball coach, Calipari knows that basketball training has reached a certain level. If you don’t have enough talent, it will be useless to practice no matter how you practice.
It seems that the progress of Li Liang is about to become an unsolved mystery.
Li Liang didn't want to get too entangled on this topic. He didn't go back to the locker room, but asked Kalipari to guide him to practice the whole game and follow the defense.
Kalipari nodded and said, "No matter who you follow for special training, hard training will always be a guarantee of strength improvement."
So, under the guidance of Kalipari, Li Liang began the practice of following defense throughout the game.
Kalipari found a thin rope and tied it to Li Liang's ankle. This is a common method used when practicing footwork.
Then, Kalipari asked Hood to come over and practice with Li Liang with the ball.
Hood just returned from injury and wanted to practice more, so the two were just paired up.
Hood also found it strange that Bruce Lee, the boy, has a great defense, so why do you still have to practice such basic things?
Of course he didn't know that Li Liang's target was not you, Hood, but Walter Fraser.
After buckle the rope on his feet, it means that Li Liang's pace will be subject to certain restrictions and he must make predictions.
Otherwise, if the prediction is insufficient, you should mix garlic when you step too high.
There is no skill in training like this, it is just repeating it constantly, repeating it again and again.
At most, the coach corrected Li Liang's posture and movements on the side, making him more standard and efficient.
Hood accompanied Li Liang for another hour of defense training, and practiced until his sweat soaked the training uniform.
When Li Liang untied the rope from his ankle, he tied it tightly, and made a deep mark.
Sweat is stained on the mark and it hurts to the point of pickling.
Li Liang hurried to the locker room and rinsed it with water, and his abdomen was extremely hungry.
"John, please treat me to a meal."
There was no way, Kalipari invited Li Liang to supper again.
Li Liang did eat a lot of food again, making people wonder how this kid's stomach grew.
When he returned to Wei Dazhi's rental house in the evening, Li Liang suddenly lay down on the bed.
Wei Dazhi didn't know where he ran to, but why did he feel that his dragon was not at the end of the head recently?
He also said he wanted to observe his own training, but when he arrived at the school, he said he wanted to find someone, and he disappeared.
Li Liang, who was lying on the bed, took out his mobile phone and browsed today's sports news.
Today, the NBA playoff Eastern Conference semifinals reached its seventh decisive victory.
Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers.
Because the Bulls' Rose retreated in the first round, the 76ers made a concerted effort to complete the Miracle Eighth.
After the Spurs were defeated by the Black Eighth in 2011, another team this year was humiliated by the Black Eighth.
Derek Ross was injured in the landing and was reimbursed for season after 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the first game.
The Bulls were already 16 points ahead, but their head coach Thibodeau still put the main players on the court.
Although the injuries are somewhat unexpected, and some strain-type injuries, if you don’t come today, you will come tomorrow.
However, Thibodeau's honey operation has been criticized by many fans.
Rose's reimbursement made the Bulls's first record in the league all season in vain.
Now, the 76ers, the eighth dark horse, and the old Celtics have reached the seventh game.
The old and firm Celtics did not give the 76ers a chance to continue creating miracles. They defeated their opponents 85:75 at home and entered the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics will become a barrier for LeBron James to advance.
Looking at the various stories that happened in the NBA playoffs, Li Liang thought, what would happen if he entered the NBA in the future?
Li Liang continued to browse the news while thinking.
Suddenly, he caught a popular tweet, which was a retweet: Bruce Lee, a Chinese player from the University of Kentucky, left a deep impression on Kobe Bryant in the Lakers' trial, and the Lakers may use the signing to select the small forward from China.
When Li Liang saw that the source of the forwarding was Wei Dazhi's Twitter account: sbf-weidazhi.
The prefix of Wei Dazhi's Twitter account is super basketball fan, and Li Liang has always called him "sb fans".
This tweet was posted on the 24th. Later, after a series of retweets, it seemed to have gained some popularity today.
Some well-known reporters forwarded the message one after another.
It seems that Wei Dazhi has taken the first step in the reporter group.
Of course, Li Liang knew that the main reason for this news to be forwarded was Kobe's blessing.
If the Lakers simply want to choose Li Liang, except for the domestic media that will be a little hot, the American reporters will not look at him directly.
