Li Liang knew that in history, the teams had lost almost every 10 goals in tasks like this that required leading the team to win.

Where did you lose? It must be Oscar Robertson.

In the first quarter, the Celtics got into some trouble on the offensive end.

Their outside shooting percentage is not high.

The Celtics in the 1960s were actually a team with a very modern style of playing.

Although there is superstar Bill Russell in the interior, Russell's strength lies in defense.

On the offensive end, his main method of scoring is second attack and occasionally an unreliable hook.

Li Liang looked at Russell sometimes squatting in the low post and receiving the ball with his back. His ugly and unskilled position, coupled with a stiff dribble and a big hook with his left hand, which was so ugly that it was. I really wanted to go up and guide him.

Although Embrey is not tall, she is strong and powerful, and it is difficult for Russell to score one-on-one on his head.

Russell couldn't score points, Sam Jones didn't score after the game started, and the Celtics' offense was intermittent.

On the Royals, their outside forward Jack Tweman was in good shape and he made consecutive shots.

Oscar Robertson controlled the rhythm on the court well. He was not fast, but every dribbling into the inside was very threatening.

Robertson's pass is different from Cuci, very stable, and he also has strong shooting ability, which helps the Royals suppress the Celtics away.

The score came to 14:8, and after Robertson hit a jump shot in the front, Auerbach called a timeout.

There is no difference between basketball coaches in the 1960s and now, so I yelled first after the pause.

Auerbach first scolded Sam Jones, but he has made four shots in the first quarter and has not made it.

Also, I was very dissatisfied with Robertson's defense, which made him play too easily and there was almost no pressure on him.

In fact, there was no way, because in terms of counter-position, almost no one in the NBA backcourt could match Robertson at that time.

Even by modern standards, Robertson is very tall and strong in point guards.

For this reason, every time the Celtics play against the Royals, they play very hard.

Winning is a tiny margin, and in the next few seasons, the Royals are the biggest obstacles on their way forward.

Li Liang listened carefully to Auerbach's scolding and took advantage of the gap to raise his hand and said, "Coach, can you let me go? I can defend Robertson."

Auerbach said: "You can defend, who do you think you are! You can defend if you can defend? What if you can't? Do you return your salary to me?"

Auerbach gave Li Liang a series of questions and gave him 10 points of anger. The weighted value is estimated to be 100.

Li Liang wants me to eat your rice? When did you get your salary?

Auerbach said again: "Okay, come on stage, come on."

Li Liangxin thought about it, this old man just wanted to find someone to vent.

The pressure to be a coach is indeed very high.

Li Liang replaced Tom Haynthorne and served as the team's power forward.

The Celtics' lineup is very flexible, especially in the forward position.

The starters Tom Haynthorne and Tom Sanders, both Tom, can play both Big and Small.

Halfrichek, who was sitting on the bench, was also an all-rounder, which shows that the Cardinal's basketball philosophy is indeed very advanced.

Li Liang played in front of the big game, but he directly faced Oscar Robertson on the defensive end.

Li Liang decided to give his opponent a warning on the offensive end first.

Sam Jones dribbled through the half-time game, but it was still the same routine. Cousey raised it up and dribbled in from the top of the arc.

Li Liang brought it up to cover Kuxi and then took a step back.

This position is probably the place where the modern NBA three-point line is.

Kusi dribbled in and the Royals surrounded him.

Jones waited for opportunities at 45 degrees on the right as usual, but he missed four shots, and Cousy didn't want to pass it to him.

Kusi passed it to Li Liang and wanted to reorganize the attack.

But he knew that Li Liang took the ball at that position and threw it directly!

When Auerbach saw Li Liang in that position, he shot directly, stood up and cursed: "Why did you shoot?"

Before he finished speaking, the ball had already passed the net and scored two points!

If the NBA had a three-point line at that time, it would be a beautiful three-pointer.

The Royals players never expected Li Liang to shoot at this position, and their defensive attention was on Cousy.

After scoring the goal, Li Liang spread his hands at Auerbach and gave him a helpless expression. Anyway, he got in.

Of course, Li Liang gained the anger value again, and it seems that the old bishop is also a magic weapon for dividing.

With Li Liang's long-range shooting level, it is not difficult to win this game.

The key is how to break three balls from Robertson's hand in defense.

It is not that easy to intercept the ball from the hands of an NBA player, not to mention that the legendary point guard is opposite.

However, there is a reason why this task is only [rookie]. After all, the ball control level of players in the 1960s cannot be compared with that now.

Li Liang faced Robertson one-on-one near the midfield. Robertson dribbled sideways and leaned against Li Liang with his strong buttocks and pushed forward.

"Damn, players of that era liked dribbling with their butts!"

Li Liang is not very used to dribbling like this in defense.

He pushed and started, and the referee blew the whistle.

"Foof, block."

At that time, the call for blocking fouls was very strict. If the body touched a little, the referee felt that you had exerted force and he would call you a foul.

Li Liang still needs to adapt, but he feels he is fine.

Now he is not the NCAA water dispenser, he is the NBA water dispenser!

The Royals served the sideline ball, and Li Liang posted it near Robertson.

The moment the ball was thrown, Li Liang suddenly started.

He took advantage of his height and wingspan to bypass Robertson and clicked the ball!

Robertson reacted quickly and immediately squeezed away Li Liang and refused to let him intercept the ball.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded again.

This time, Robertson was blew up with a foul.

Li Liang was "thrust down" to the ground, but in fact he had the element of acting in this ball.

Russell stepped forward and pulled Li Liang up, patted him, and said, "Good boy."

Off the court, Auerbach was very satisfied with Li Liang's performance.

The Celtics need this active fight to change the decline caused by unsuccessful offenses.

Soon, Li Liang made another long shot on the offensive end.

At this time, the players of the Royals realized that this kid's long shot was so accurate?

It turns out that the ball just now was not confused?

Even Cuci felt a little incredible and stepped forward and said, "I've shot beautifully and caught up with West."

The West in Cusey's mouth was of course Jerry West, the best outside shooter of that era.

However, West's shooting technique is obviously not as modern as Li Liang.

Because the shooting distance of that era was relatively close, players mostly used fingers and wrists to shoot, and the movement of the top and forearms was very small.

As the shooting distance becomes farther and farther away, when the three-point line appears, you must use the forearm and the big arm to gradually modernize the shooting skills.

So during the game, Li Liang's shooting posture looked a bit out of place.

The score difference reached two points, and Oscar Robertson turned around and returned one.

This time he did not go to the middle, but dribbled to the bottom line and suddenly jumped sideways, and the master shot.

His shot point was very high, Li Liang could not block it, and Robertson made two points.

Both sides fought very fast, and there were not many tactical rules and tricks, so Li Liang quickly adapted.

Because of his precise shooting, the Royals had to put more defensive attention on him.

Cousy had better room for activity and began to revitalize the Celtics' offense.

The point guard is indeed becoming more and more demonic as he gets older. Cousy calmly shuttles through the Royals' half and then sends out a ghost pass.

Li Liang plays better and better on the offensive end. The skills he honed in Kentucky are enough to be used on the 1960s.

However, on the defensive end, under the fast-paced counterattack, there was no chance to intercept the ball from Robertson.

By the second quarter of the game, Li Liang had scored 14 points, most of which were outside jump shots.

His position was too far away, and the Royals players were not used to defending that far away.

Moreover, after Bob Knight's open position training, Li Liang could easily find a gap to fire the gun.

The Celtics have already surpassed the score, and Auerbach took advantage of the timeout to replace Li Liang and praised him.

"Good boy, did you install a scope today? The shot is so accurate!"

Li Liang just smiled, but couldn't feel happy.

There are three steals, but none of them are yet to date.

The pace of the game is too fast and the slap is strict. Robertson did a good job of protecting the ball, and it was really not easy to intercept the ball.
Chapter completed!
