In the first quarter, the two sides played inextricably.

Although Goodrich is a bit overheated, the Lakers have a good transformer, and that is Jerry West.

The famous shooting guard, quick shooter, and the only loser in history, FMVP, had come to the end of his career in 1972.

He is 34 years old, and his shooting skills are still there, but his legs and feet are no longer so agile.

Bill Sharman assigned him a new task this season, which is to let him hold the ball on the offensive end to organize.

In fact, many famous coaches in the 1960s and 1970s were very flexible in their minds, and the staffing of some strong teams was also varied and full of tricks, which was not what people thought. The so-called classical is rigid.

Sharman allowed West to control the ball. The old guard's years of experience made his organization no problem at all, and he organized the Lakers' offense in an orderly manner.

Originally acting as a shooting guard, he averaged 9.7 assists per game this season, a proper super point guard level.

At the same time, he still has plenty of energy in scoring. If the opponent dares to underestimate him, the former scoring maniac will teach you how to behave.

Goodrich rushed and rushed, West stabilized the overall situation, and Chamberlain guarded the inside to contain opponents, and the Lakers achieved a perfect season.

In this game, when the start was not very good, West used his experience to stabilize the situation.

Several successful offensive organizations broke the Knicks' attempt to plunge the game into chaos.

Li Liang came on at the end of the first quarter and hit two long shots. The score was tied at 26:26.

Between the first and second quarters, Sharman asked the team to strengthen their defense. While he replaced Li Liang, he also replaced Pat Riley.

Riley, who was later recognized by the NBA as a magician and old fox, was a younger brother of the Lakers in 1972.

Moreover, Riley is also an alumnus of Li Liang, a predecessor of the Kentucky Wildcats, who once led the Wildcats to the NCAA National Finals.

It can be said that he is a famous figure in the history of Kentucky basketball, and he is also a well-known foul king in Kentucky-keeping the record for the number of fouls in team history.

From this point, it can be seen that Riley is a person who likes not to follow the routine and often fouls.

The appearance of him and Li Liang proves that the Lakers are going to make trouble.

Li Liang found it very comfortable to play with Riley, because both of them are very smart on the court and love to play tricks.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang walked onto the floor of the Great Western Forum and lifted his pants.

Damn, the shorts in the 1970s were still too short, and they always felt like they were about to fall off.

In the first round, Li Liang drew an offensive foul on the Knicks.

He and Riley surrounded Fraser, Fraser pouted his butt, and Li Liang pretended to fall.

Riley happened to be blocking the referee's view, so the referee whistled for a foul on Frazier.

Fraser suffered from being dumb, these two guys are very cunning.

Then, Goodrich rushed inside again, but this time he won a free throw and made two free throws.

Then, Li Liang surrounded Fraser with Riley while defending.

Li Liang is familiar with Fraser's game because he has completed the mission of the Rogue Fraser before.

This made Frazier very uncomfortable. He made a mistake and Li Liang completed a steal.

In the counterattack, West hit a jumper directly, and the Knicks fell into a disadvantage at the beginning of the second quarter.

Li Liang and Riley clapped their hands. When smart people play together, it feels like they have a similar taste.

Knicks coach Holzman immediately called a timeout, adjusted the personnel on the court, and replaced Dave Debuscher, who was resting off the court.

It was a bearded man who was replaced - the later famous coach Phil Jackson.

He's a soy saucer on the court.

Li Liang knew that the true master of this match had come.

If Riley is considered a smart person, then De Buschell in the 1970s was the smartest of smart people.

He was drafted by both the NBA and the MLB in 1962, one for basketball and one for baseball.

Faced with this choice, De Buschel made the decision that an adult should have—I want it all!

Anyway, baseball is played in Chicago and basketball is played in Detroit, both in Michigan, which is very close.

In this way, he plays baseball and basketball at the same time, while playing basketball, he also acts as the head coach of the Pistons!

It can be seen how miserable the Pistons were at that time. They needed a baseball player to play basketball and be their coach at the same time.

Four years later, Debusschell chose basketball completely. He was traded to New York and began to play real value.

He was the first person in the NBA to define the perfect role player, who could do anything on the court.

His numbers will never show, but with him, the team can win.

Such a person must be extremely smart to play on the court, and he can naturally deal with a treacherous duo like Li Liang and Riley.

After De Buschel came on the field, it was not so easy for the two to encircle Fraser.

De Buschel would come out in time to respond and give Frazier cover.

If the two continue to double-team, Frazier will throw the ball to De Buschell.

De Buschell has a good mid-range and long-range shot, and he can pass the ball well, and he can also rush in with the ball.

In short, if he is there, any defensive strategy must be carefully cracked by him.

In the first two matches against this blue-collar hero, Li Liang suffered a disadvantage. He found it very difficult to take advantage of De Buschel.

Not to mention him, even Wilt Chamberlain, a legendary star of historical level, was dealt with by De Buschel in the 1970 Finals.

Chamberlain was 34 years old that year, and the offensive end was still at the tail end of its peak.

Li Liang watched Debuschel play, and his biggest feeling was that this guy has too much sense of presence.

Regardless of offense or defense, he may not be the one that ended, but from a coherent perspective, there is always something for him to work.

It will rarely happen, follow the two sides and turn back and run for three or four rounds, it will be useless at all.

As soon as De Buschell came on the court, the Knicks' defense immediately improved to a higher level.

He is nicknamed Big D, not only because his surname starts with the letter D, but also because of his defense.

Good defense is not just about pressing and drawing fouls. Reasonable positioning in advance can solve many problems.

Playing on the court is different from playing games. Playing games can open up the perspective of God, and it is clear who is who.

On the court, a group of big men stood on the court, blocked by others, and it was difficult to see the positions of others.

At this time, feeling, experience, tacit understanding, and some skills are needed.

De Buschell is the core of the Knicks' defense, and he can direct his teammates to move.

As a team coach, he has a player position map in his heart.

He knows where he stands, he knows where his teammates should stand, and he still knows where his opponents stand!

The situation on the Knicks field has gradually improved.

This change was not immediate, De Buschell did not score crazy, nor did he have a big cap opponent.

But after playing a few rounds, it was obviously different.

The Lakers' offense is no longer so easy, and De Buschell's fill is very good.

The Lakers' defensive pressure has increased, and De Buschell's outside shots are very threatening.

Li Liang observed and thought while typing, and he suddenly realized that the system was indeed well-intentioned.

Isn't Debusschere's style of play the template he is currently learning from?

Think about the current Lakers lineup.

Chamberlain Howard, West Bryant, Goodrich Nash, McMillan Artest...

It seems to be so interesting!

First Havlicek, then Debuschel.

Is the next one going to be Larry Bird?

After thinking about it, Li Liang still put his energy into the confrontation in the second quarter.

With the experience of the first two games, Li Liang knows the trend of the game and the status of the Knicks players.

Frazier's offensive desire is not strong in this game, and the main scoring points are Lucas and De Buschel.

Lucas let Chamberlain take care of it, and Li Liang followed De Buschel every step of the way.

Follow the cat and draw the tiger, learn Debusschere's style of play, and be a panacea on the defensive end.

The offensive end provides cover for teammates, and then waits for an opportunity to fire on the outside.

Don't stick to the ball, don't hit blindly, as reasonable as you want.

Li Liang was almost moved by his own reasoning, he really should have come to Lao Ke to do the task.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers and the Knicks were evenly matched, and the Lakers led by 2 points to end the half.

In the locker room, Bill Sharman praised Li Liang for playing well.

Li Liang calculated his statistics, 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals.

There is still 1 steal and 2 assists in the second half, and it will be over to help the team win.

However, when the third quarter came to the fore, because this quarter was the breaking point for the Knicks.

De Buschel and Lucas jointly scored 20 points in this quarter, establishing an advantage.

Li Liang volunteered, hoping that Bill Sharman would let him start.

He didn't want to sit on the bench anymore, watching the Lakers fall behind, and then chase after them hard.

Shaman thought for a while and agreed to Li Liang's request.

So, in the second half, Li Liang stood on the bright yellow floor of the Great Western Forum as the starter.

The second half of the game started, and Li Liang played more and more experienced.

In the opening game, Fraser and Debusschere played and cooperated, which was predicted by Li Liang in advance.

He has seen this ball twice, and it was originally a good teamwork.

But Li Liang expected the enemy to take the lead, and he had already judged it, and successfully intercepted at the top of the arc.

Knicks head coach Halsman scratched his head, not knowing how Li Liang broke the ball, the prediction was so good?

After stealing the ball, Li Liang made a beautiful ground pass to Goodrich, who was going down fast.

Goodrich, nicknamed "Stump", made a quick stop jump shot near the three-second zone after receiving the ball.

In that era, many fast breaks ended with emergency stop jump shots, which was the habit of many academic coaches and players.

The NBA became fancy, and it had to wait until 1976 when it merged with the ABA.

Li Liang got one steal and one assist.

This is the ball that changed the trend in the third quarter.

In the third quarter, the offensive wave that the Knicks were supposed to launch was blocked.

Then they attacked in a position, Li Liang asked West to retreat, and he personally followed Frazier one-on-one all over the court!

In the previous mission, Fraser wore a cloak and a hat to pretend to be aggressive, which shocked me enough?

This time I will teach you a lesson!

Li Liang started following directly from the bottom line. He had practiced Fraser's ways many times, and he had already figured it out.

This made Frazier very uncomfortable, and the half-time struggled, and eight seconds passed.

There was no way to organize an offense at all, so I could only hand over the ball and re-arrange the position. Half of the 24 seconds passed.

Li Liang then switched positions with West to face De Buschel.

This trick completely disrupted the Knicks' offensive organization, and they barely made three offensive shots in a row, but they didn't make it.

Chamberlain received the rebound steadily at the basket, and the Lakers counterattacked continuously, beating the Knicks 8:0!

The situation finally changed in this game. Li Liang contributed one steal, one assist and two points in the entire third quarter.

But the audience can see that Bruce Lee is the key figure for the team to win!

The overall strength of the Lakers this year is already stronger than the Knicks. Once the morale and feeling are recovered, they are still at home and will not be afraid of the Knicks at all.

Some of the audience started shouting Bruce Lee's name.

This is 1972, another Chinese named Bruce Lee is setting off a kung fu whirlwind, sweeping Hollywood and becoming famous all over the world.

In reality, a new Bruce Lee is also pouring into the ears of Los Angeles people.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the New York Knicks at home. Li Liang scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

The task was successfully completed.
