Li Liang's sitting on the bench not only surprised the live commentator and the fans, but also caught his opponent Raptors off guard.

The Raptors' coaching staff had already made a lot of arrangements against Li Liang, Durant and Westbrook before the game started.

As a result, Li Liang sat back on the bench, which made the Raptors feel a little confused.

Now, the Raptors' bench is under a bit stress.

The Raptors' starting lineups are Kyle Lowry, Valanciunas, DeRozan, Carol and Louis Scola, who had just signed in the summer.

Jumping the ball, the game started, Valanciunas took the lead in transferring the ball, and the Raptors began their first attack.

Li Liang is not present, and the psychological pressure on the Raptors to start is much less.

But at the first attack at the beginning, Lowry might have been too relaxed, dribbling the ball and slipping out directly...

Out of bounds, turnovers, ball rights conversion.

Because Li Liang was not here, the Thunder went back to the past when playing style, and Durant directly asked for the ball with his back from the low post on the left.

But Carol defended well, and he poked the ball from behind, but the Thunder ball was still the right one.

The ball was out of bounds, and the ball was rushing for two laps, and finally there was no time. Westbrook forced a three-pointer from the outside!

Didn't enter...

On the Raptors, Scola received the ball from the right corner and made a mid-range jump shot, but was disturbed by Collison and did not hit it.

Durant got a backcourt rebound and pushed back and used Adams' cover to break into the middle on the right.

The Raptors' defense contracted quickly, and Valanciunas and Carroll blocked the breakthrough in the middle and revealed.

Durant did not forcefully shoot, and passed the ball to Robertson in the left corner. Robertson had a chance to shoot, but once hesitated, he wanted to shoot or not, and the defender had already rushed over.

Li Liang happened to sit behind Robertson. Seeing that Robertson didn't dare to vote, he shouted, "You are a shot!"

Robertson was startled when he heard Li Liang's words, and was excited and voted... Of course, he didn't make it, so he voted for three.

But Adams happened to be picked up by him at the basket. Adams hooked his hand and hit two points.

Adams' hook is really good, and the young man practices a lot.

Seeing this, Li Liang applauded and said, "Not bad! The spread is good!"

Robertson was speechless. Damn, you asked me to vote. Now I say that I passed the news well, isn't it embarrassing?

The Thunder took the lead in scoring, then Durant covered DeRozan's layup in defense, Adams took the rebound, and Westbrook counterattacked with the ball.

He advanced near the free throw line, stopped the zombies and jumped into the jump shot, hitting two points.

Westbrook's emergency stop zombie jump shot is very similar to Li Liang's emergency stop jump shot.

The shooting speed is fast and the choice is sudden, and it is difficult to interfere with, but the hit rate is not as good as that of Li Liang.

Li Liang saw that Lei Ting was simple and efficient in fighting, and thought that it would make sense to sit on the bench by himself.

With Durant and Westbrook's personal abilities, letting them play complex tactics is actually a waste of them.

Just like the Lakers' O'Neal and Kobe, what complicated tactics do you let them run? It's unnecessary.

The triangle offense gives them enough space to make them singles.

Simple on the basketball court does not correspond to inefficiency and inefficiency, and complexity does not mean that you are very strong.

The tactics still need to be determined based on the player's ability and team configuration.

In the past three young ages, Durant and Westbrook started and Harden substituted, which has proven to be a good rotation configuration.

It's just that they were too young, so the finals failed.

Now Harden replaces Li Liang...

At this time, Donovan, who was standing on the sidelines, was thinking that Li Liang's decision and choice could indeed maximize his potential for the Thunder team, which has been proven by history.

Although Harden's position was different from Li Liang at that time, in terms of function, Li Liang could do everything Harden could do, and he did better.

Harden can't do a lot of what Li Liang can do.

In addition to having the advantage of beard, Harden is inferior to Li Liang in all aspects.

Plus Durant and Westbrook are more mature and powerful than in the past, this is really an enhanced version of the Three Young Thunder in 2012.

Donovan was a little excited when he thought about it. When should he replace Li Liang?

At this time, the Raptors still failed to score.

Facing the Thunder's tightly-focused people on defense, the Raptors couldn't find a breakthrough.

DeRozan made consecutive breakthroughs without results, and finally gave it to Scola, who asked Scola to take the ball and rushed in, but the throwing shot failed.

The Thunder fought back again, and this time Westbrook advanced to the same position but made a different choice.

He made a very hidden pass to Adams who was inserted into the middle, and Adams received the ball and dunked with one hand!

After the opening, the Energy Center came to a small group, and the Thunder beat the Raptors 6:0.

It looks very good, Li Liangxin thought, don’t I have to go there anymore?

Last season, the Pacers won the championship with a group of fools. This year, Li Liang thought, maybe he could experience the feeling of winning by lying down?

Facts prove that Li Liang was thinking too much.

The Thunder immediately fell into a scoring drought.

The Raptors have not found their scoring feeling for the time being, but their defensive strength has increased.

Both sides began to make continuous irons.

Any former weak team, bad team, evolved into a strong team or a regular playoff player, must first improve their own defense.

The Raptors are no exception. They have increased their intensity when the offense is unfavorable and have done a very good job of defensive contraction.

Robertson was let go of this point, and Durant from the outside didn't make a three-pointer shot.

On the offense, Valanciunas scored the Raptors' first goal with a low post.

The score of 6:2 lasted for a long time. The Thunder's fierce counterattack and attack were gradually resolved by the intensive defense of the Raptors in the middle, and began to enter the iron battle.

At this time, Donovan looked at the bench and thought that Li Liang should make his debut.

He wanted to replace Li Liang on the field during the first official timeout later.

In this way, Collison was like making a fake starter and just played for four or five minutes and replaced him.

The Thunder's offense still did not improve much. Westbrook made a mistake in passing, and Scola made a mid-range jump shot in the counterattack.

Li Liang felt a little anxious when he saw it, thinking whether he wanted to join.

But he thought about it again, if he appeared on the court, Collison would make a fake starter. Then, after he appeared on the court, he continued to play with Westbrook and Durant. What is the difference between him and the starting player?

Afterwards, Westbrook's beautiful pass assisted Collison to make a layup, and the Raptors also relied on Lowry to score two points.

At this time, Durant finally took action and received the ball from the outside and made a three-pointer!

The Raptors' contraction defense will eventually have to pay the price.

11:4, the Thunder took the lead of 7 players, and the Raptors called a timeout.

At this time, Donovan pointed to Li Liang on the bench and said, "Bruce, you will replace Collison later."

Unexpectedly, Li Liang refused, "No coach, I think I want to sit for a while."

Donovan was confused. I have never seen such a player in the past few years as a coach?

"Okay, then you can sit for a while." Nurdowan didn't dare to disobey. He would sit for more if he wanted to sit for more. It didn't matter if you sat until the end of the game.

Seeing this, Mike Brown took the initiative to hand over to Li Liang. If there was a newspaper around him, he would probably have a newspaper for Li Liang to see.

But Li Liang didn't want to drink water now, but listened to Donovan's tactics.

When Li Liang was not present, Donovan was only targeting Durant and Westbrook, and he was very skillful in making arrangements.

He doesn't have much complicated arrangements, but he just encourages the players.

He has very strong command and adjustment on the spot. After all, he has led the NCAA team to play an elimination match system all year round, and he can't even have a strong adjustment ability.

In the first few games, he was still adapting to the pace of NBA and understood that NBA's season was long and needed to flow slowly.

So, Li Liang was listening to Donovan's arrangement, and Donovan was also thinking in his heart, wanting to see how he would take the substitute with Li Liang to play later.

After all, Mike Brown often brags off the court, "Leave it to Bruce, he will do everything."

The two of them are stealing each other and making progress together.

After the game started again, Durant's condition on the court became more and more outstanding.

During the suspension, Donovan reminded Durant to let go of the game and to attack and defend with confidence.

Because there is a super substitute on the bench, you don’t have to worry about physical fitness distribution at all.

As soon as Durant came up, he gave Carol a big hat on the defense.

Then in the counterattack, he received a pass from Westbrook, dodged in the air, and scored a counterattack with his left hand!

The Thunder attack was quite smooth, which made Li Liang worried whether he really didn't have to.

The Raptors' offense has never been able to find any sense, and they never make three-pointers from the outside.

With 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, both sides began to enter the lineup rotation.

At this time, Li Liang was finally going to go into battle. The Raptors replaced Lowry and replaced Corey Joseph.

The Thunder replaced Collison and replaced Li Liang...

Raptors coach Casey looked at the rotation and suddenly felt a little bit jio-looking.
Chapter completed!
