In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang stood on the NBA regular season court.

Stamps made strange noises, a mix of cheers and boos.

After being selected by the Lakers, Li Liang was full of controversy.

At first many Lakers fans thought this was a huge mistake.

They said if the Lakers were still in 2008-10 they could get a mascot like this, but not now.

What's the use of such a player who hasn't even played in the NCAA?

Later, Li Liang's "criticism" of the management at the signing ceremony caused a lot of discussion.

Many fans worried that this guy would be a thorn in the side.

As a result, in the summer league, his amazing performance attracted a wave of fans.

Then in the preseason, there was another outstanding performance, which made Lakers fans start to have expectations for him.

Of course, human prejudice is difficult to change. Before Li Liang really performs well, such boos may always appear.

For the fans, if Kobe played badly, they would boo him as well.

Li Liang came on and replaced Jamison. Jamison, a former All-Star, really didn't defend on the court.

Not only can it not help the inside players to do auxiliary defense protection, but it is also difficult to keep a close eye on the person they are facing.

At this point, the Lakers lineup is Jordan Hill, Blake, Gasol, and Meeks.

The main force of the Lakers is too old, so Brown will not replace the main force until the second half of the second quarter. Now it is the transition period, and the Lakers must seize the time for the main force to rest.

The Lone Ranger is also a rotation lineup, with Vince Carter, Jae Crowder and Eddie Curry on the court.

Jae Crowder and Li Liang participated in the training camp in New Jersey together. He would never have thought that this guy who was talking nonsense in the locker room would actually enter the NBA.

And it seems to be playing well, and the topic among the 2012 rookies is not inferior to the first-round picks.

The Lakers sent a sideline kick, and Li Liang and Crowder faced off.

Blake controlled the ball and advanced in the backcourt, and Li Liang stepped forward to cover for Blake.

Except for Li Liang, the entire Lakers currently have no one who can do a good job as a cover.

Howard doesn't like to make screens, Gasol and Hill are not good at screens, they have no backs after screens.

Although Li Liang is a small forward, his cover is solid.

Blake used Li Liang's blocking to open up a little space at 45 degrees on the left.

But Blake is not Nash, and his personal attack power cannot create good offensive opportunities.

He chose to pass the ball to Gasol in the low post on the left.

This is the position Gasol likes, and he plays Curry with his back and foot.

The little shark Curry weighed almost 300 pounds this year. He was raised too well in New York and was as bloated as a grapefruit.

Although he can't attack like this, he can really defend.

The Lone Ranger players immediately came up to help defend, but Gasol missed the hook.

But Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball.

Blake had a chance at the 45, but he feinted and missed and took a step inside the dribble.

The Lone Ranger's defensive formation suddenly shrank, and there was an opportunity from the outside!

Li Liang is in front and has a three-point chance.

Li Liang shouted, "Pass the ball, pass the ball!"

This kid doesn't look like a rookie at all, no matter who he is, he can roar.

No way, with a hair dryer installed, he even dared to shout at Auerbach.

Sure enough, Blake gave the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang was unguarded beyond the three-point line.

Claude still wants to rush over to defend, you are too late!

Li Liang didn't even need to aim, he directly shot a three-pointer and scored!

With [Zero Second Shot], his shooting speed is faster than before.

At 38:37, Li Liang made the Lakers' second three-pointer in the game.

It was also his first goal in the NBA regular season!

After the goal, the Staples Center cheered. On the bench, Thackeray stood up and waved a towel to Li Liang as if his butt was on fire.

Even Kobe applauded lightly.

Li Liang made a downward gesture, this guy has seen big scenes.

It's just a three-pointer, don't make a fuss.

At this point, the system gives a prompt:

[Achievement, 'NBA's first goal', reward: get a lucky draw chance once. 】

Li Liang looked at it and drew a lottery again. What useless things are you going to draw for me?

No matter, play well.

The meaning of this goal is far more than Li Liang's first goal in the NBA.

Because the Lakers can't make three-pointers, the Lone Ranger has been using contraction defense.

Use strong strikers like Crowder and Marion to deal with the Lakers' inside twin towers.

Because there are no three-pointers, the Lakers, who can't open up space, can't move at all.

A large number of invalid passes, plus turnovers, lead to the team's offensive efficiency is very low.

And after this three-pointer, Carlisle will have to consider whether to continue the strategy of shrinking defense.

However, Li Liang's real role is not the three-pointer, but his defense.

Collins had the ball in half court, and facing Blake, Collins felt no pressure at all.

Although Blake played hard, there was nothing he could do. On the basketball court, he was just a thin white man.

The defensive end is even more invisible than Nash. You can imagine how bad the Lakers' back line defense will be.

The Lone Ranger lineup is opened, and the Lakers will open the door after the pick-and-roll in the middle. Carter and Mayo on the flanks can attack three-pointers, and Marion can catch the ball and rush to the basket.

, Faced with this simple and efficient tactical routine, the Lakers have nothing to do.

Sure enough, Curry came up to block Collins. This guy like a mountain of meat blocked Blake so that he couldn't find the north.

In this way, Gasol had to defend two, and Collins entered the three-second zone from the middle.

There must be someone on the weak side to help defend, and the opportunity for the Lone Ranger will come out.

Collins is thinking about whether he wants to kill the basket directly or distribute the ball to teammates on the weak side.

Only to find that his ball was gone.

Yes, the ball is gone.

Let's go, where's my ball?

It turned out that it was Li Liang who charged from behind and knocked the ball out of Collins' hands!

Collins was too careless on this ball, thinking that Metta Shiping and Kobe were not on the court, and the Lakers had no stealing ability.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang, who was standing at 45 degrees, directly gave up defending Claude and took the risk of double-teaming Collins from the back.

The two fell to the ground at the same time and scrambled into a ball, and the referee called a scrimmage.

Li Liang, who got the chance to scrimmage the ball, let out a roar. Only when he was defending, he could feel his adrenaline soaring.

The audience finally stopped booing and began to replace it with cheers and applause.

It only took Li Liang two rounds to get Staples' approval.

Why?

Because the fans saw from him what the Lakers lacked very much.

Energy and passion.

There's a guy on the Lakers bench who has a lot of energy and passion, but it's a pity he won't be able to play.

Scrimmage, Collins and Li Liang.

Li Haoliang is also a forward with a height of 205, and Collins is a point guard. If he can't compete with the opponent, it will be a shame.

Li Liang gave the ball to Gasol in the air, and the Lakers got the ball.

Li Liang crossed the half court, and then stood with his hips outside the 45-degree three-point line.

Claude, do you dare not guard against it? Do you dare to attack inside?

Dare? Dare?

But the Lakers have a little communication barrier in their own tactics.

Gasol and Jordan Hill are both crammed into the high post.

Blake is a bit confused, high double screen?

No, we don't use this tactic.

High and low pass? Then one of Gasol and Hill should go in, so who should I give the ball to?

This hesitation wasted 5 seconds of attack time.

Li Liang yelled, "Cannon! Go to the low position to fight!"

The problem with this ball is that Gasol habitually moves up to the high position.

The problem is that Hill is not a monster, he doesn't like to go to the low post, and the two crashed in the high post.

When Li Liang roared, Gasol came back to his senses and cut to a low position.

Forget it, what Princeton, what high position support, fuck off, I will play low position singles.

Gasol is about to get in position, Blake lobs to Gasol.

Gasol ate Curry with his back again. At this time, Crowder on the left went to help defend.

Gasol immediately passed the ball to Li Liang, and Claude threw it out.

Li Liang lobbed the ball to Gasol again, and Crowder had no choice but to pinch Gasol again.

Hey, just kidding.

After hanging like this twice in a row, Gasol still gave the ball to Li Liang.

If there is no time, Li Liang catches the ball and throws it away!

As long as no one is in front of him, his shooting percentage is still very high!

The ball hit the rim, then bumped twice, and finally spun around and rolled in!

Go in!

Li Liang's second three-pointer!

This time Li Liang pointed to Gasol, and Gasol gave Li Liang a gentle look.

Good cooperation!

How about it? Are you still pinching? Will you let me go?

Think I'm a rookie so I dare not vote, can't I make it?

I have rich experience in the NBA in 100 games, and I am tough with Durant, James, and Robertson online.

You think I'm a rookie?

Forget it, forgive your ignorance, forgive you.

On the Lone Ranger's bench, Carlisle scratched his head and called a timeout.

He didn't expect that a second-round rookie would suddenly cause changes after his debut, which would have an immediate effect.

One defense and two offenses disrupted the entire tactical arrangement of the Mavericks.

Who the hell is this?

Looking through the draft data, he was still picked by the Lone Ranger with the 55th overall pick, and then sent to the Lakers.

Cuban, who watched the game with the team, had a bitter face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Do you think that if you knew it would be useful, you might as well keep it and use it yourself, and now you will become an enemy.
