Chapter 880 Double Star
Bennett's laziness is really famous.
Although being selected as the No. 1 pick did put a lot of pressure on him, he suffered a lot of criticism when he couldn't score.
But three years have passed, and if there is any criticism, the psychological impact should be over.
As a result, Bennett still didn't make any name for himself. He is indeed a talented player. He can become a lottery show, but he is not a genius.
But basketball is more like a life job to him than a lifelong pursuit.
After several teams, he has changed from a No. 1 pick to a marginal player and may be eliminated by this cruel league at any time.
Entering the national team in the summer is a good exercise and an opportunity for him to improve.
Especially in this warm-up match, the coach asked him to play against Li Liang.
If it were a player with Kobe's personality, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep last night. He was thinking about giving Li Liang some colors during the game the next day.
Bennett didn't, it was very Buddhist.
As for a warm-up match, just play it casually and go through the motions.
Little do you know that although Canada is full of talents, it also has to participate in the qualifying competition because it is in the Americas.
If they fail to break through the qualifying round, they will naturally be unable to participate in the Olympics.
Therefore, compared with the Chinese team, they should work harder to improve themselves.
After Li Liang successfully made a layup after stealing, the Canadian team called a timeout.
Coach Gong Luming asked the whole team to be more active in the offense and to grab rebounds more actively.
Now Gong Luming is becoming more and more aware that establishing a tactical model of "one shot and four grabs" is the best solution to the current combat power of this national team.
As for cultivating young people and training new people - isn't Li Liang a young person? Isn't he a new person?
In terms of age, Li Liang is this year. Although most of the other young people in the national team are, can the age of the national team be real?
Gong Luming knew this very well. The Chinese team's bad habit of changing age is really too common.
It is just Yao Ming who was born in newspapers and cannot change it, and others have been modified more or less.
Everyone changes, will you suffer if you don’t change?
However, in international competitions, no one will change. When it comes to the adult national team, the Chinese team will suffer.
In terms of qualifications, Li Liang is even more a newcomer. He can't be new anymore. He joined the national team for the first time.
It can be said that he is the person with the least qualifications in the national team. What are the problems with cultivating him?
"The fight should be more active, and you should not put off the frontcourt rebounds! You must grab more frontcourt rebounds!"
In Gong Luming's tactical system before, the frontcourt rebounding was a matter of looking at the sky.
If you can, grab it, forget it if you can't. It's important to retreat and guard against it.
Because the Chinese team's retreat has always been relatively weak, if they try to grab the frontcourt rebounds, they will inevitably be hit by their opponents.
Gong Luming made changes in abnormal behavior, naturally for Li Liang.
The game will continue after the suspension, and the Chinese team's momentum will not diminish.
He spared no effort to fill up the position and interfere in the defense. Although he was subject to his personal ability, he would still be scored by the Canadian team, but the pressure was indeed given.
The rest of the Chinese team are relatively relaxed during the attack, and the burden of scoring is on Li Liang's shoulders.
Of course, Canada began to double-team Li Liang.
Li Liang also made a quick shot. After being hit by Robertson and Olajuwon in the system, the attacks from others felt that they were not that powerful.
In the middle, Yi Jianlian received two consecutive passes from Li Liang, made a mid-range jump shot, dribbling at the basket, and made a strong slam dunk with both hands.
Soon, the Chinese team surpassed the Canadian team in terms of scores.
Canada's suspension is a waste of time.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides reached a tie.
However, in the second quarter, when Li Liang came off the court to rest, there was a problem with the Chinese team's offense and defense.
The Canadian team made a wave: Yes, and regained the initiative on the field.
There is indeed a gap in the personal abilities of the two teams, and there is a little accident on the Chinese team - the main center Zhou Qi suddenly got cramps during the game.
Zhou Qi sat on the sidelines for a while, Gong Luming sat next to him and observed for a while, and Zhou Qi said, "I can't beat him, I need to take a break."
Gong Luming sighed. Zhou Qi's talent is indeed good, but his physical strength and strength really have relatively large defects.
The arms are still as thin as squids, and they cannot confront each other with high intensity, so they always need to rest.
Gong Luming used him very "save" in the game, for fear that he would be tired after spending a long time.
Like Li Liang, it’s different. It’s easy to use and solid. In theory, it’s not a problem to fight for a minute.
It can be called the Chinese version of Chamberlain, and its physical fitness is really good.
Finally, Zhou Qi went back to the locker room and went to rest, and did not return for this game.
Director Gong had no choice but to say to Li Liang, "Thank you for your hard work, let's fight for a while."
Li Liang nodded, appeared on the stage, and began to control the situation again.
After Li Liang returned, the game was very intense.
The Canadian team has strong talent and good cooperation. Although their players are all inside, what they really have is the back line.
The Canadian team's offense was very fast under the leadership of the defender, counterattacking, transferring the ball, three-pointer, and assaulting the basket.
Overall, the pace is one level faster than that of the Chinese team.
Of course, Li Liang can adapt to this rhythm, and for him this is the normal rhythm of the game.
But his teammates couldn't adapt.
Li Liang can come alone when attacking, but not defense.
Therefore, Li Liang keenly realized that his first job on the court was to bring up the rhythm.
If it’s too fast, it’s impossible to get faster in a short time, as long as the national team’s playing habits are played.
It’s not possible to be too slow. The speed can be slower. The reactions and the processing of the ball should not be slower. The attention must be concentrated.
Therefore, Li Liang began to increase his ball holding ratio during the offense.
He took the ball in the first half and directed his teammates to run the position. The positional battle time was slightly longer.
The ending method is either to directly attack the basket with a three-pointer from the outside pick-and-roll, or to break through the basket, score a goal or make a foul.
Li Liang is gradually becoming a Ge-go - although he has good shooting ability in mid-range, the mid-range returns are too low.
It’s not like having three-pointers with three-pointers, nor is it like breaking through to tear the opponent’s defense and create opportunities for teammates.
And Li Liang found that it was quite comfortable to throw three points from the outside.
It's easy to get there. The three-point line is almost the same as the middle distance, so Li Liang can fire a random shot at a distance of three steps away from the three-point line. The Canadian team is hard to defend.
Secondly, if you don’t make the move, your teammates will actively fight for rebounds. If you grab it, you can attack again. If you can’t grab it, you can quickly return to defense.
Li Liang and Deng Ge are different in this regard.
Brother Deng is the slowest in attacking through halftime, and the slowest in return to defending through halftime, anyway, it is the slowest.
Li Liang returned to defense very quickly and was very deterrent at the basket, which was a great containment against the Canadian defender's quick counterattack.
The game was very intense again.
In fact, with Li Liangzai's style, the game is not played like this.
He has always opened and closed, pushing him over: He will kill all the opponent and fool him.
But being with the Chinese team is so bad.
Various small mistakes and loopholes in defense, failure to catch passes in offense, and low shooting percentage at open positions, etc., resulting in slower points increase and quicker points loss.
Moreover, Li Liang is under great pressure to attack. Don’t think about stealing and stealing, where can I touch you?
Fortunately, there is Yi Jianlian on the Chinese team who can help Li Liang.
He has the ability to hold the ball and play singles at the low and high positions, which greatly shares Li Liang's offensive pressure.
It can also pick-and-roll, go down, and catch Li Liang's pass to attack the basket.
The cooperation between the two gradually became tacit, and the Chinese team's offense was getting better and better.
The two sides fought fiercely until the fourth quarter, and at the last moment, the Canadian team still led the Chinese team.
At this time, Li Liang suddenly tore off the mask of the team's basketball guard and made a three-pointer from the outside.
Immediately after the steal in the middle, he made an emergency stop at the top of the fast attack, avoided the defender's pursuit, and made another three-pointer shot!
Two consecutive three-pointers, the situation reversed instantly!
The morale of the Chinese team, which has the advantage, has greatly boosted.
After calling for a timeout, Canada still failed to attack.
In the end, the Chinese team: The advantage of points defeated the Canadian team.
In this game, Li Liang scored points and assisted Jin.
Yi Jianlian also won the points, and the two teamed up to score the points.
The Chinese team basically relied on two people in the Olympics this year.
