Chapter 105 My Hands Are That Hard

Carlisle made adjustments immediately after the timeout, replacing Claude and letting Marion reappear.

During the timeout, Marion was also specially instructed to target No. 28 on the opposite side.

Two consecutive three-pointers, he can't be allowed to shoot like this again.

Carlisle is a very thoughtful coach. His on-the-spot response may not be the fastest in the NBA, but he is definitely capable of changing.

In this era of the NBA, the three-point shot has never been more important.

Relatively young coaches like Carlisle, as well as other coaches who work on the front line of the league, are beginning to realize the significance of long-range shooting skills for tactics.

Space is the eternal theme of tactics on the basketball court.

Whether it is a breakthrough, pass, reverse run, or air cut, the ultimate meaning is to find space for the players to shoot.

There is space, there is high shooting percentage, there is easy layup, there is everything in the offense.

And what about the three-pointer?

When the opponent has a high-percentage three-point shooter standing outside, you have to find a player to stare at him.

Even if he does nothing, it is equivalent to abolishing one of your rotation points.

If you insist on taking turns and not marking, the penalty of three points in that round is undoubtedly quite heavy.

Carlisle understands this deeply. When making tactical preparations before the game, he carefully evaluated the Lakers' three-point threat.

The conclusion is that the Lakers' three-point threat is not great.

So on the field, the Lone Ranger even conducts zone defense.

Just like in the 2011 Western Conference semifinals, the Lone Ranger, who seemed to have average athletic ability, used the zone defense to lock the Lakers' outside offense.

Because the Lakers shooters just can't hit consecutive 3-pointers.

In the end they swept the defending champions 4:0.

This year it stands to reason that the Lakers' three-pointers are even worse.

Although Nash is good for three-pointers, he is not a spot-up shooter.

Judging from past experience, if the team relies on Nash to score, it will lose in all likelihood.

Needless to say, Ci Shiping missed two three-pointers outside.

As for Kobe, he seems to have given up on strong three-point shots and concentrated on making the ball.

Kobe sometimes likes to go to extremes like this.

If others criticize him for not passing the ball, then he can pass the ball crazily without shooting in one quarter.

You see, I can pass the ball.

Once there is no effect, he will start to cast crazily by himself.

34 years old, still so immature.

As for Howard on the inside, to be honest, any capable coach in the league can tell that Howard's low-post offense can't kill anyone.

The reason why the Magic were strong back then was because of Howard's defense and their three-point shooters.

Moreover, this year Howard seems to be less powerful in the low post. His singles in the low post are actually a kind of damage to the team's offensive tactics.

In short, Carlisle felt that he had counted all aspects.

This Lakers looks strong on the surface, but the lineup and style of play are not in line with the trend of modern basketball.

Also, their roster is so old, and their defense is really...

In the current NBA, you don't know how to defend against pick-and-rolls, but you have the nerve to mention defense?

But as soon as the No. 28 came on stage, it seemed that all the Lakers' problems had been solved in a short period of time! ?

He has 3s and looks good defensively.

Carlisle didn't believe that this kid could still be so good in the future.

The timeout ended quickly, and the two sides returned to the court.

Li Liang remained on the court, Kobe, Nash and Howard all returned.

Gasol rested, Metta Shiping was still sitting on the bench.

Brown wanted to see how effective the lineup of Howard, Li Liang, Kobe, Nash and Jordan Hill would be.

The starting lineup is too old, and it may be good for the team to have two young and tall players, Hill and Li Liang, on the court.

The Lone Ranger also made lineup adjustments.

Most of the starters came back, while leaving veteran Carter on the court.

The Lone Ranger's offensive round is still initiated from the outside pick-and-roll.

Since winning the championship in 2011, the Lone Ranger's offense has basically been a pick-and-roll start.

Nowitzki's tall and generous body is a good blocker.

At the same time, Nowitzki has a huge offensive threat, and the opponent will almost inevitably have a defensive gap after the pick-and-roll.

Nowitzki is not here today, and the pick-and-roll participant has become Brand.

The old captain Brand declined a lot after leaving the Clippers.

After being bought out by the 76ers, the Lone Ranger bid for Brand in the summer.

In the first game of the regular season, he replaced Nowitzki as the starting power forward.

Height is Brand's defect, he is only about 2.03 meters.

But his wingspan is terrifying, reaching 226!

This wingspan is longer than that of Yao Ming, who is 226 tall.

Therefore, there are two long-armed monsters, Brand and Marion, in the Lone Ranger formation.

This must be a challenge for Li Liang.

After the pick-and-roll, Brand chose to cut inside.

He didn't feel very good today, and he missed a few outside jumpers.

But he played very hard, the offense rushed in, and the defense got stuck and rebounded.

The attitude of the old players on the court is still very good, there is no problem.

As soon as he cuts inside, Jordan Hill follows him.

Li Liang is facing Marion on the flank, and he knows that Marion's air cut is very powerful.

It has to be said that these guys in the NBA are some strange wizards.

Marion's figure is an alien to ordinary people, but he is a natural player in the basketball circle.

Li Liang followed Marion and slipped across the baseline. At this time, the Lakers' middle lane was wide open.

Jordan Hill knew to follow his defender, but he didn't delay the ball holder.

Collins has already dribbled to the three-second zone, which is the most dangerous position.

Without further ado, Li Liang left Marion and went to the basket to block Collins.

"Keep up! Keep up!"

Li Liang yelled twice, speaking to Nash.

Nash is really old, and his defense can't keep up.

Of course, he didn't seem to be able to keep up when he was younger.

Seeing that Collins was double-teamed, he immediately distributed the ball to the flank, and Marion received the ball.

Li Liang immediately gave up on Collins and went to defend Marion again.

Marion's ball has already missed a chance in the left corner.

He could have shot threes with his weird shooting form.

But he hesitated, three-pointers are not his forte.

In the past two seasons, as he grew older, his leg explosiveness declined, and his three-point shots became less and less.

In addition, Li Liang came back quickly, and Marion didn't shoot.

He feinted a shot, crossed the bottom line and charged Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't have time to get out of the way, and collided with Marion, and was called a blocking foul by the referee.

This is Li Liang's first foul in the NBA.

Today's chief referee is Scott Foster, a white referee with greasy hair and a thin and sinister look.

Although this gentleman is not as famous as Bavita, Javi, and Crawford, he has a good reputation among fans.

The referee's reputation among the fans is generally not very good.

Calling a player a foul is a trivial matter for Foster.

He took the ball and was about to hand it to the Lone Ranger player, but found that the kid with number 28 came over to argue with him.

"The ball went out of bounds, why did you call me a foul? I didn't move my hands, I just moved forward, I didn't stand up, I didn't do anything, why did you call me a foul?"

Foster was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, stars and veteran players who have played in the NBA for several years will argue with the referee after calling the penalty.

After all, they are big names, and they have played in the NBA all year round, so they have a little friendship with each other.

As for those fringe people, as well as rookies, dare to beep with the referee?

Directly give you a T as a gift.

Still not convinced?

Another T to take you back to the locker room to take a shower.

The No. 28 rookie is still an Asian face, dare to argue with himself?

he…

Hey, why does it feel like what he said makes sense.

Is it really a foul?

Foster scratched his face and said: "This is a foul, you have to pay attention to the range of your movements, and you have to give him an empty route."

Foster also explained to Li Liang that Marion, who was standing on the bottom line, was confused.

It's not the first time he's played Foster's call. When did this guy talk so easily?

Besides, that's a foul, what's the theory?

Li Liang didn't bother anymore, the referee explained everything, forget it, forgive you.

He was actually using a hair dryer to put pressure on the referee.

This [Bob Knight's Hair Dryer] is really easy to use. Nowadays, there are not many players who play in the league, referees, or coaches. Few have Bob Knight's seniority.

So sometimes spray it, and it's fine in the end.

Of course, swearing is not allowed.

After that, Marion served from the bottom line, and the Lone Ranger reorganized the offense.

Carter held the ball from the outside and forced Kobe, a duel between two old flying men.

Kobe has no problem with one defense and one defense.

Carter missed a layup and Howard got a backcourt rebound.

The Lakers' counterattack...

No, the Lakers can't fight back.

Their back line is too old, and the front line has no assaulters at all.

Fast breaks and counterattacks are not Li Liang's strong point, and the Lakers have to sharpen their positions again.

The Princeton-style conduction of the ball began again, and the offense was inefficient.

Li Liang squatted on the outside line a little anxious, why the hell is he still playing Princeton?

I just don't follow Princeton's way.

He lifted it directly to the top of the arc and made a wall for Kobe who was holding the ball.

Kobe hesitated for a while, Li Liang scolded: "Pick and roll! Can you go!"

So, Kobe dribbled the ball with his left hand and used Li Liang's block to kill from the middle.

Kobe's cut is undoubtedly a great threat, and Marion must help defend.

Kobe walked to the middle and immediately turned around and passed the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang catches the ball at 45 degrees on the right and shoots a three-pointer!

Marion missed the defense and hit a three-pointer again!

The third three-pointer of the game!

Li Liang hit three three-pointers in less than three minutes!

After scoring the goal, Kobe excitedly pushed Li Liang and touched Li Liang's head.

This kid, three points is really accurate!

The point is, in his NBA debut, his hands were so hard.

Many players who shoot very accurately in training will fail to shoot because of nervousness in the game.

How did Kobe know that Li Liang was no longer at home!

The NBA games he played scare you to death.

Carlisle on the sidelines scratched his face, shook his head and shouted to Marion: "Number 28, whoever is watching you! Watch!"
