Chapter 170 Focus on rebounding

On December 9, the Los Angeles Lakers returned home to face the Utah Jazz for the second time this season.

The NBA's schedule is also strange enough. The Lakers have just finished their three-game winning streak, and they finally came back to play a home game.

As a result, this home game is over, and then the Eastern Conference road trip will begin.

It may be that the Lakers want to go back to Los Angeles to refresh before starting the road trip.

But against an opponent like the Jazz, it may not be easy for you to recuperate.

In the last game in Salt Lake City, the Lakers were tossed hard enough by the Jazz inside.

Gasol was overwhelmed by various big black men.

This time it's fine, I won't be washed away, and I just sit on the bench to rest and recuperate.

The arduous task of meeting the Jazz's inside attack fell on Li Liang's shoulders.

The whole Jazz team is very impressed with Li Liang.

Three three-pointers in the fourth quarter and 10 points in a row gave the Jazz a one-man wave.

And still in the arena in Salt Lake City, scolding Jazz fans.

Good guy, his mouth skills are amazing, he has a single-handed anti-body, and he exploded Salt Lake City on and off the court.

After the game, just pat your ass and leave, the Jazz can bear it?

After holding back for a month, the Jazz finally got the chance to fight the Lakers again.

Unlike last time, Li Liang mentioned the starting position this time.

On the Jazz side, Gordon Hayward was placed on the bench by the head coach, and the starting guard became Foye.

In this way, Li Liang is the undisputed number one in the starting ten.

Anyway, he thinks so, Kobe and Nash are too old!

The game kicks off at 7:00 p.m. PT.

The Lakers are not playing in Los Angeles during this time, and they will go to the Eastern Conference to play an away game after this game, so the fans want to die for the Lakers.

The audience was full, and many young fans wore the No. 28 jersey.

Li Liang performed well in several consecutive games and steadily attracted fans.

The ratings of TWC's "Behind the Scenes of the Lakers" are rising steadily, thanks to Li Liang's contribution.

Now many fans and the media have begun to debate whether Li Liang should return to the bench after Gasol comes back.

This is a sensitive issue, but insensitivity people will discuss?

Before playing against the Rockets and Hornets, the opponent's inside line was not strong enough.

The Thunder's two insiders are both defensive, not aggressive.

Therefore, some critics believe that whether Li Liang can be the Lakers' long-term starting choice still needs to be tested.

In fact, Li Liang is only a second-round pick with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and now it is more than 5 million yuan.

Critics are still picky about him, really...

Will Li Liang care about these doubts? of course not.

Playing the Jazz tonight is a good opportunity for him to prove himself again.

Last time you made my sister-in-law lose everything, this time I want to avenge my sister-in-law!

As soon as the game started, Howard scrambled for the ball and the Lakers attacked.

Kobe Bryant respected the iron first, and missed a jumper after using a screen from the outside.

Li Liang's heart felt cold, and his heart was not good. Is the boss going to build a magic weapon tonight?

On the defensive end, Li Liang worked very hard. He played against Millsap in this game.

Millsap, an Undersize striker, has always been a difficulty that has plagued the Lakers.

On the first ball, the Jazz came to Li Liang and let Millsap play singles with the ball.

Millsap took the ball and turned to face the basket trying to charge Li Liang.

But Millsap obviously underestimated how strong Li Liang was.

A month later, Li Liang, who has a system bonus, has risen to another level of strength.

How did Millsap know that this kid's strength rose so fast that he didn't push back.

Millsap swayed a few times in a row. Seeing that the monster was coming, he could only pass the ball.

what's the situation? In Millsap's impression, Li Liang was a relatively thin outsider in the last game, about the same as Hayward.

Why now, the arms and shoulders are thicker than before?

This change is too fast, is it too big?

The Lakers players get along with Li Liang day and night, so they don't think so.

The players from other teams hadn't seen each other for a month, and it was obvious that Li Liangzhuang was gone.

It's like you and your mother are together every day, being fed from 120 catties to 140 catties, your mother doesn't even feel it, so keep feeding.

But if you go to college and are fed from 120 catties to 140 catties by the cafeteria breeder, your mother will say, "Why are you so fat?"

The Jazz also missed an outside jumper, and the two sides started a bit tight.

It doesn't matter if you are tight. I, Li Liang, are fine. I'll vote.

Li Liang cooperated with Nash's pick-and-roll from the outside again. This time he chose a clever fake cut inside, and then ran outside the 45-degree three-point line.

Nash went in with the ball and turned around, and the Jazz's defense was already in chaos.

There was a problem with the defensive tacit understanding between Millsap and Xiaomo, and both of them went to chase Nash.

Nash gave the ball to Li Liang, and there was nothing in front of him.

Li Liang made an open three-pointer!

His three-pointers are already the Lakers' top scoring weapon.

This is not good for the Jazz. Li Liang was shot to death by a three-pointer in the last game, and he was shot again in the opening game.

For the next defense, the Jazz must find a way.

Ever since Li Liang played the fourth position, the strategy of playing the exchange is not easy to use.

It's still a long time before the next time we play the Spurs. We can't wait for Popovich to think about it.

But the first thing the Jazz have to solve is the offensive problem.

They adhered to the strategy of the opening game of the previous game, playing inside and rushing to the offensive rebound.

The Jazz's offensive rebounds are among the best in the league, and they don't take many shots. It can be said that they play very hard.

But the Lakers are not soft, Li Liang is very aggressive on the defensive end.

Anyway, he is not good at supplementary defense and blocking shots, so I leave it to Howard.

He helped Howard get in the paint and catch rebounds in the backcourt.

Don't look at Li Liang's height and weight are not as good as Gasol.

But Gasol's 7-footer is sometimes limp on the defensive end, like a long noodle, and he falls when he rushes.

Li Liang's core strength is very stable, his shoulders, back, and hips have been strengthened, coupled with his willpower and focus, it is impossible for the Jazz to grab offensive rebounds unscrupulously.

He caught 4 backcourt rebounds in the first quarter, which has statistics.

There are also those who help teammates get stuck and let teammates get rebounds.

Even if Li Liang can't stand it anymore, the Lakers still have Howard.

The best defensive player with a serious personality, once the rebounding champion, grabbing backcourt rebounds is like picking watermelons in the back garden.

Stable backcourt rebounds provide the Lakers with stable raw materials for making magical weapons in the backcourt.

Kobe made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter!

Li Liang was almost pissed off by him, I was desperately trying to catch the rebound inside, your hand feeling is so bad?

In this way, the Lakers were still 30:25 in the first quarter, leading the Jazz by 5 points.

Because Nash started off well.

In the last Thunder game, the 38-year-old Na was instantly activated.

This time, the Jazz's point guard was the non-defensive Mo Williams.

Nash made full use of the obstacles of Li Liang, Howard, and Ci Shiping to shuttle between the Jazz.

Nash's horse-riding archery, layups with low hands with poor timing, and throwing shots, these skills that test his skills are still there.

The Jazz coach obviously underestimated Nash's point.

Nash made 4 of 5 two-pointers in the first quarter, hit all two free throws, and hit a 3-pointer, scoring 13 points in a single quarter!

At the same time, he also sent 2 assists, as if returning to his peak era.

In the second quarter, the Jazz was still the same as the previous game, with an inside attack in the transition period.

The last game was Kanter and Favors. This time Favors was absent due to injury, so Kanter and Carroll were played.

Brown's response to this was... Never mind!

In the last game, Brown had a deeper understanding of a truth, that is, offense is the best defense!

If you can't prevent your opponent from scoring, score more goals than your opponent.

In addition to Nash, Meeks was activated in the last game.

He has decisive three-pointers from the outside, has speed, and has the ability to hit the ball.

Before, because of his short height and poor wingspan, he was weak in defense and was not very popular with Brown.

With Blake injured and not playing well, Brown still uses Morris more.

Morris is younger, taller, with more wingspan, and has a better defensive effect than Meeks.

But Morris's offense was too disastrous. As a point guard, Brown evaluated his pass as "a meaningless pass."

He controlled the ball across the half court and passed it first to whoever was closest to him.

Give the ball to whoever is close, for fear of losing the ball and making mistakes.

He didn't take the initiative to initiate tactics, let alone command moves.

Although Brown's offense doesn't have any tactical system, don't you know how to learn it yourself? Where is your brain? Can't think?

Look at Bruce Lee!

So it's better to use Meeks, anyway, Meeks' attack power is much stronger.

During the transition period of the second quarter, the Lakers relied on Misk to withstand the Jazz's counterattack from the bench.

He scored two three-pointers from the outside and directly stopped the Jazz.

When the Jazz came back from the timeout, the coach made arrangements and adjustments, and they had to face new problems.

After Kobe took a good rest, he made his debut.

How did the Jazz die against the Lakers in the 2008 and 2009 playoffs?

It was Kobe who shot to death one after another unreasonably.

Brewer, who was defending Kobe at the time, was cast in the shadows.

Kobe went 1-for-5 in the first quarter tonight, so he has to get it back in the second quarter, right?

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sprayed to death by Li Liang.

Just after resting on the bench, Li Liang's mouth didn't stop.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the court, Kobe's face was calm, and he wiped his clothes on his chest with his hands.

It's his signature move, wiping his hammer.

Hayward also played at this time, and Li Liang was amused when he saw it, hey, the boss is going to kill you.

In the first game, Hayward defended Kobe very well, blocking shots and steals, which made Kobe quite embarrassed.

Kobe is so vindictive, he must get it back.

As soon as he played in the second quarter, Hayward scored two first.

A hit on the high board and a foul at the free throw line.

Then Kobe started throwing the ball over Hayward's head.

One, two, three! Hit three middle distances in a row!

It's over, the feeling is coming, the iron can't be beaten, and it's time to hit someone.

Hayward was shot in the second quarter and scratched his head, his face full of depression.

The point difference was gradually widened.

In the second half, Kobe didn't mean to stop, and started a bald combination.

This has become Kobe's personal offensive skills show.

Hayward served as the background board, while Li Liang grabbed rebounds on the defensive end, screened in pick-and-rolls on the offensive end, and squatted in the corner to throw three-pointers.

Since Nash returned to his condition, Li Liang didn't use the top of the arc to hold the ball very much.

After three consecutive days of hard work, I can finally play a comfortable game when I return to the home court.

The outside world thought that the Jazz would be a fierce battle, but they didn't expect the Lakers to keep pressing the Jazz and maintain a lead of more than 10 points.

The Jazz are tough, never give up, and don't enter the garbage time.

Li Liang naturally has no chance to be the garbage king.

This Sir is really smelly, hard and nasty as always.

At 110:100, the Jazz got a three-digit score anyway. The Lakers had a 10-point advantage at home, and the Jazz won the victory without giving the Jazz any chance.

Li Liang's performance in this game was not impressive, with 7 points, 2 assists and 1 steal.

But he turned into a rebounding monster again and grabbed 11 rebounds, all of which were backcourt rebounds.

There is nothing to say about skills, and the ability point is only 51. It depends on hard work and concentration.

As Barkley said, "If I concentrate on rebounding, Rodman can't beat me."

Li Liang can also grab a lot of rebounds when he concentrates.

Those who speculated before the game that Li Liang would be torn apart by the Jazz's insiders disappointed them again.
