Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Li Liang played the last minute of the first quarter.

The Lakers trailed the Blazers by two points at 26:28.

The two sides continued to compete in the second quarter, and Damian Lillard, who had a rest in the first quarter, returned to the court.

The young man is in very good form today, scoring 7 points and 3 assists in the first quarter.

Coach Stotts puts a lot of faith in the rookie.

The maturity he showed in training convinced Stotts that this is a player who will do something.

On the first offense of the second quarter, the Blazers initiated a pick-and-roll from the left wing.

The essence of Flow's offense is that the tall players on both wings are constantly moving back and forth on the vertical line of the three-second zone, providing cover for the interspersed movement of the ball holder and the wing players. After repeated runs and screens, there will always be a player who gets a decent shot.

The flow offense is the same as the triangle offense. It does not aim to run out of absolute space, but to create space for players to attack.

This is a major feature that distinguishes modern NBA tactics from early NBA tactics.

On the increasingly narrow basketball court, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to run out of open space.

Being able to make the opponent's defender stagger a position and make up the defense a second later is a tactical success.

As for whether you can make a shot, it depends on the player's ability.

Lillard passed the ball to Batum who came out from the baseline, and then went inside with Hickson's screen from the middle.

On the one hand, take away the defender, on the other hand, look for opportunities in the bottom corner.

Batum dribbled and observed, and Hickson continued to step forward to block.

It was Li Liang who stood in front of Batum.

And Hickson's matchup is Gasol.

While staring at Batum, Li Liang looked back slightly, reminding Gasol to move inside.

Hickson's shooting level is far inferior to that of Adelaide.

Ade is sitting off the court, and there is no need to worry about Hickson's outside cut for this ball.

Sure enough, Batum and Hixon picked and rolled, and Li Liang squeezed through.

Gasol took a step back to protect the basket, blocked and chased, and Batum gave the ball to Hickson who cut outside.

Hickson had a chance to make a shot, he hesitated, and stepped on the three-point line to shoot.

"Boom!" Missed.

Li Liang stepped forward to block Batum and received the rebound.

In the two-month secret training, in addition to improving his organization and three-point ability, Li Liang did not forget to improve his rebounding ability.

He's done Truc Robinson's job, learning his truck-like rim-blocking skills.

There is no problem dealing with a slender player like Batum.

After receiving the rebound, Li Liang passed the ball to Meeks, and Meeks took the ball and went straight to the fast break.

For an old team like the Lakers, they must seize fast break opportunities.

However, after Hickson shot from the outside, he retreated quickly and interfered with Meeks at the basket.

Gasol who kept up with him made a tip-up and the two sides tied.

Looking at Li Liang's defense this time, Stotts felt that the No. 28 kid had a lot of ideas.

Then it turned out that Stotts was right.

Though he doesn't want to see himself right.

Lillard and Leonard played a pick-and-roll on the right side.

Li Liang, who was facing Batum in the right corner, immediately came to help defend.

His footsteps are very neat, and he seems to have predicted in advance that Lillard will go 45 degrees to the right, and flank Lillard with Jordan Hill.

Different from Ci Shiping's slow flank attack in the first quarter, Li Liang's flank attack was fierce.

He is taller and taller, and he is directly between Lillard and Batum when he is attacking, blocking Lillard's sight of the ball.

Unlike the general defenders who don't care about each other because they pinch the ball holder, causing the ball holder to split the ball and leave open space, Li Liang's flanking attack on Lillard is quite resolute and fierce.

He didn't even think about saying that if Lillard gave the ball to Batum, he would go back to the baseline to make up for the leak.

What to make up for?

You can't play the ball because I forced you, so it's okay?

Of course, Lillard still gave the ball to Batum.

It's just that in order to overcome Li Liang's obstacles, his pass was a bit high.

Batum had to jump to catch the ball.

With this jump, the gap advantage caused by the pincer attack was completely lost.

Li Liang was able to return to his seat immediately and stood in front of Batum.

This kind of defense is often seen in NBA defensive teams.

In the current Lakers team, it is really hard to see.

Ci Shiping is five years younger, and he can take care of his opponent after assisting defense like this every game.

Today, he may not be able to keep an eye on anyone, and can only rely on his own flesh to scare people.

Batum got rid of the outside line for a long time, and finally made a forced three-pointer from the bottom corner.

miss.

Pau Gasol got the backcourt rebound.

No matter, push fast break, charge up!

Meeks went wild again, but unfortunately, this guy's fast break ability is just like this.

Dribble and dribble and lose the ball!

Mistake, Lillard cut off Meeks' ball.

With his eyes on the six, he made a long pass straight to the basket!

Hixon!

Before the ball flew, it was intercepted by Li Liang halfway!

Mom, I've been staring at you for a long time.

The passing eyes are so wide and so obvious, do you think I am blind?

Li Liang intercepted the ball in mid-air, and it was still the Lakers' possession.

This time, the Lakers have to settle down and play a position.

Beat Princeton?

Fuck off, a woolly Princeton.

After Li Liang gave the ball to Meeks, he said directly to him: "Give the ball to Gasol!"

Meeks didn't speak, but his eyes had already betrayed him.

Listen to what Bruce Lee said, after all, he is a man who can command the coach.

Sure enough, Gasol was in his favorite low position on the left.

Meeks lobs to Gasol.

Gasol played Leonard one-on-one, and it was really lighthearted.

Before the help defense came up, Nei turned and licked the basket and succeeded.

Go-ahead!

After a period of chaos on both sides, the Lakers overtook the score.

Stotts immediately called a timeout.

Originally, he was still thinking about letting Lillard appear on the stage and rush to seize the initiative in the second quarter.

I didn't know that both attacks were blocked.

The No. 28 Chinese player has a very clear mind.

Is this really a rookie?

But looking at Lillard on his own bench, it can only be said that Mo bully young players play less.

Li Liang actually plays a lot. This ability to read offense and command defense is practiced in game after game.

During the timeout, Mike Brown made adjustments to the lineup.

Bryant, Nash returned to the court, Howard replaced Gasol.

Mike Brown emphasized the need to protect the outside line more in defense, and reminded Li Liang to do a good job in assisting the outside line.

Li Liang thought to himself, why don't you let Kobe help me defend more?

I just know how to keep fit, play organization outside, pass the ball, make the ball, and take a walk on the defensive end.

Complaining in his heart is nothing but complaints, Li Liang still knows that Kobe's stamina left on the offensive end will be much more valuable.

Therefore, the task of protecting Nash was placed on Li Liang.

Li Liang completed his task well in the second quarter.

No matter who his opponent is, Li Liang will always divide half of his attention on Nash and Lillard.

As long as there is a chance, Li Liang will definitely help defend Lillard.

Of course, this kind of defense is very exhausting, so that in the second quarter, Li Liang only got two three-pointers, and he still didn't make a shot.

But his active defense has paid off, and the Lakers and Trail Blazers are always biting the score.

Today Howard's offensive state in the interior is very good and he played quite efficiently.

The Lakers have always maintained a leading advantage of 2 to 3 points.

The Blazers chased after them, and their Flow offense was still unable to run smoothly.

Li Liang's dog skin plaster is really annoying.

He's nothing like a rookie on the defensive end.

Don't eat, don't be fooled, don't be cheated, and will also make tactical fouls to destroy the Blazers' counterattack.

Stotts curled his lips when he saw it, thinking that this damn is possessed by an old vixen, right?

Is this kid the second NBA game? The defensive end is also too old.

And Brown found that the Lakers' lineup is already a bit inseparable from Li Liang.

They really need such a young, energetic, smart defensively, and offensively threatening.

This is the type of player the Los Angeles Lakers have been craving for 10 years.

They have aged too much, and their legs are too slow.

Therefore, Li Liang played from the end of the first quarter and almost played the second quarter.

At 58:55, the Lakers maintained their three-point lead and played against the Blazers.

Li Liang did not score, but contributed 2 steals and 4 rebounds.

But he is tired!

It stands to reason that the bench players will only play for five or six minutes, and he has almost played a full quarter.

And the non-stop outside defense to make up, get stuck and grab rebounds, he is almost exhausted.

Once the ball was dead, Li Liang walked to the sidelines and yelled at Brown: "Mike, you are asleep! Your substitution button is broken?"

Brown spread his hands towards Li Liang and said, "Don't you want to play? I'll let you play more."

Brown is worried that if Ci Shiping plays, his ineffective three-pointer is okay, and the key perimeter defense will not be able to keep up.

Of course, Brown also realized that Li Liang had played too long, and replaced Li Liang with Ci Shiping.

Li Liang sat down on the bench, the beating was severe, but he was exhausted.

In this way of wiping the Lakers' ass all over the world, Jim Buss should give him a raise.

However, less than 10 seconds after Li Liang left the field.

The Blazers served in the backcourt, and an accident happened.

Lillard inadvertently collided with Nash while running across the frontcourt.

Lillard's knee was on Nash's left knee, and Nash limped.

Brown immediately called a timeout and replaced Nash.

Li Liang stepped forward to support Nash, whose legs could no longer walk and could only hop on one foot.

"I feel a little pain, a little pain." Nash said, his face was ugly.

If he was only 18 years old, such an impact, just squat down and move a few times.

But he is 38 years old, and any small physical problem may become a big problem.

There are too many NBA superstars who, after the age of 35, fell off a cliff due to an injury.

Karl Malone in F4 in 2004 is a lesson from the past.

And Nash's injury seems to have come earlier.

Together with the team doctor, Li Liang and Nash left the field early and returned to the locker room.

In the locker room, the team doctor performed simple treatment on Nash's knee and relieved the pain.

I don't know what the problem is yet, it may be a soft tissue contusion.

The team doctor put Nash on a special knee pad.

Nash said he would play in the second half.

At this time, Li Liang brought a glass of water to Nash, and Nash drank it all.

"Steve, you can't play in the second half, you have to protect your body." Li Liang said.

The team doctor Gary Vitti on the side thought to himself, it's useless to persuade me just now as my 30-year-old Lakers team doctor. You little boy came here and said something like this?

Nash was going to play, but Li Liang's sincere gaze made Nash shaken.

"I promise, we will definitely win in the second half, definitely!" Li Liang added.

Nash wants to play because he is afraid that the team will lose. If the team can win, he doesn't need to hold on.

Therefore, the team doctor can't stop him, but his teammates can.

There is a sense of trust in Li Liang.

Nash nodded, decided to give up the second half of the game and chose to rest.

At this time, a subtitle flashed in front of Li Liang's eyes:

[Mission, counterattack second-round pick 3c, mission requirements: contain Lillard's first show, let him score no more than 20 points, mission reward: two random runes, and several rune upgrade fragments. 】

Hehe, this mission came at just the right time.

Destroying a rookie's first show is exactly what Li Liang is good at.
