Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Li Liang is on the field, and he is Pete Maravich at this time.

A white elf who was active in the NBA in the 1970s.

By 1980, he had only played in the league for 10 years.

But injuries and alcohol had tormented him to the point where he was left with only a little aura.

His knees and ankles were suffering, and the only thing he was proud of was his shooting.

The Celtics have reached the most dangerous moment. Not only is the score behind and on the verge of being eliminated, the key is that the players' spirits have dissipated.

Although their record in the regular season is very good, but the core lineup is old and small.

Bird is great, but he is still a rookie.

Outside Nate Archibald is at the end of his career. Tiny has changed from being the season double scoring champion and assisting champion to a veteran averaging 14 points per game.

Insider Dave Cowens is experiencing a trough in his basketball career, and the thought of retiring has been lingering in his mind.

He has retired three times in his career and has come back twice. Injuries and endless confrontation in the NBA are a kind of torture to him.

He served as player-coach for the Celtics last season, just as Russell did.

It's a pity that the NBA in 1979 was no longer what it was 10 years ago in 1969. He led the team to the worst record in team history.

It is a miracle for such a team to win 61 games in the regular season and make it to the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs.

The real rise of the Celtics will have to wait until next year, when Auerbach selects McHale and trades to Parish.

But Maravich couldn't wait for that day.

When Li Liang came on stage, the atmosphere was still very warm, really hot.

The air-conditioning in Boston Garden Plaza has always been bad. In April and May, tens of thousands of people crowded together, this temperature.

Li Liang was wearing a vest and shorts from the 1980s, feeling greasy with sweat.

Boston throws the inline, and Archibald gets the ball, dribbling it carefully on the perimeter.

Larry Bird was running the floor, this guy, he had a bad hand today.

Although he was desperately grabbing rebounds and helping his teammates with assists, he really couldn't make shots.

The defense of Bobby Jones and Dr. J caused Bird to collapse.

He shot 3 of 15 from the field in the first three quarters, which is a terribly low shooting percentage.

Li Liang looked at Bird on the field. In 1980, the king was still very young.

His performance in key competitions has been unsatisfactory, especially in scoring.

If it is placed in today's public opinion environment, it will definitely be hacked.

Li Liang took the initiative to ask Nate for the ball, but Archibald hesitated for a while, and handed the ball to Li Liang.

The 76ers' perimeter defense is not tight, they are shrinking.

In the first year of the three-point line, the style of play is still similar to the past.

Still fighting inside, rebounding, and defending like a meat grinder.

Li Liang took the ball, and standing in front of him was 76ers backup point guard Henry Bibby—the father of later King Mike Bibby.

The two really look alike, except that Henry Bibby has an afro.

Li Liang dribbled the ball twice, reached the top of the arc, saw the opportunity, and directly shot a three-pointer!

Li Liang, who has been blessed with the [Zero Second Shot] skill, still has a very fast shooting speed. What's more, Bibby didn't expect him to suddenly shoot from outside the three-point line!

The entire Boston Garden was surprised, and the fans stared wide-eyed. Maravich just shot like this?

After coming to the Celtics, Maravich put away the cool style of play in the past, and played team basketball honestly according to Auerbach's request to complete his role tasks.

He is doing very well, can contribute points stably every game, and all three-pointers are trying to shoot when absolutely open.

This shot seemed like the Celtics were dying.

But Li Liang knew that this was not a struggle, but a new hope!

"Shua!"

The ball is hollow into the net!

The Boston Garden Plaza was boiling, and a three-pointer was scored!

This is the advantage of the times. Li Liang's three-point level is not a cover.

The 76ers players didn't expect that Maravich would score this three-pointer?

At 87:95, the Celtics went from 11 points behind to 8 points behind.

Henry - Bibby possession of the ball over half, Cheeks is still off the court.

Dr. J Irving got the ball from the outside, Dawkins went down to the basket, and Dr. J passed the ball to Dawkins.

The power of the chocolate bomb is astonishing. Turn around and go to the basket to force a dunk.

But Li Liang rushed to help defend and knocked the ball away from Dawkins!

No one expected this ball, not even the Celtics players. When did Maravich's defense become so vigilant.

Maravich immediately passed the ball to Archibald, signaling for a quick counterattack.

Li Liang was already running towards the frontcourt, and Archibald dribbled the ball quickly.

The 76ers retreated quickly and immediately formed a defensive formation under the basket.

Archibald slowed down, and then he noticed that Li Liang from the outside was asking for the ball again.

Tiny hesitated for a moment, and decided to pass the ball to him.

Li Liang caught the ball again at the top of the arc, and Henry Bibby didn't learn the lesson of the previous ball.

He thought that three-pointer was just luck, a coincidence.

But no.

Li Liang holds the ball in both hands, and after a simple tentative step, he pulls up again to shoot a three-pointer!

Henry Bibby still didn't react and watched Li Liang make a three-pointer.

This time, the Celtics fans all opened their mouths.

Auerbach, who was sitting on the sidelines, stood up and stared at the ball.

"Shua!"

The ball went in again!

The Boston Garden is going to be turned upside down!

Even Auerbach, who has always watched the game very steadily, jumped up with the fans.

Head coach Bill Fitch felt his heart jump out of his throat.

My God, I dare to shoot and score this ball.

But this is also a no-brainer, and the rest of the Celtics are about to give up.

Li Liang's two three-pointers brought the point difference to only 5 points.

76ers coach Bill Cunningham called a timeout, how did Maravich come out?

In the eyes of everyone in the audience, Li Liang is no longer Bruce Lee, but the long-haired, thin, elegant shooter, Maravich.

When Li Liang left the stage, everyone came up to give him high fives.

Even Bill Fitch, who has always been strict in coaching and not very tolerant of players, said to Maravich: "Good job, it's best to keep it."

Because he didn't move anymore, he really couldn't beat him, otherwise he wouldn't be in Maravich.

Li Liang was sitting on the sidelines, sweating a little.

It is strong to have the advantage of the times. If he can't make three-pointers and go to the inside to fight hand-to-hand, he will die.

Now relying on a three-pointer hit the 76ers by surprise, so you don't have to stare at me.

The head coach of the 76ers, Cunningham, was also puzzled, seeing that he was about to win, why did Maravich suddenly shoot a three-pointer?

Throughout the series, Maravich attempted two three-pointers and made one.

It should be said that I will vote, but it is meaningless, the amount is too small.

But these two three-pointers in the fourth quarter are really terrible. Is it luck, or does he really have this ability?

Cunningham decided not to change the team's strategy just because of two three-pointers.

The 76ers focused on besieging Larry Bird. This rookie is too capable of driving the team.

Press him to death, and the 76ers will win more than half.

In the game that didn't kill him, Bird scored 31 points and the Celtics won.

The timeout is to interrupt Maravich's luck. He doesn't believe that Maravich can still make it.

The timeout ended and Maurice Cheeks came on, along with Lionel Hollins.

One of the two became the head coach of the 76ers, and the other is now the head coach of the Grizzlies.

Hollins also won the championship with the Trail Blazers in 1977, which he won by beating the 76ers.

These two people attack and defend one by one, which is a sharp weapon for the 76ers in the backcourt.

Cunningham thought, Maravich won't hit three-pointers now, will he?

The 76ers came back to attack, and Dr. J Owen hit the basket strongly. He dribbled the ball with his back, turned around and cut in with one hand, and then succeeded in picking the basket.

With this elegant posture and impressive bounce, Dr. J's style of playing on the court is completely different from that of ordinary players.

But Li Liang's painting style is different, or Maravich.

He used to be a flamboyant combo guard, but he was old and didn't have that ability anymore.

But when it comes to shooting, Li Liang is beyond this era.

Li Liang first received the ball from the outside, Cheeks took the initiative to defend, and Li Liang immediately passed the ball to Bird who came out of the bag.

Byrd dribbled a feint, dribbled one step in, Cheeks went up and moved one step forward to help defend.

Bird returned the ball to Li Liang.

According to normal tactics, this kind of ball Bird will get stuck in a deeper place, and then Li Liang will pass it again.

Or Bird didn't feel good tonight, so he moved the ball to the weak side and let the weak side reorganize the attack.

The tactics in the 1980s were relatively simple, that is, the low post, shifting from the strong side to the weak side, and then desperately rushing to the offensive rebound.

Li Liang did not pass the ball.

He stood at 45 degrees to the right, saw that the opportunity was good, and took a step back after dribbling.

Keeping a little distance from Cheeks, Cheeks thought he was going to attack from the middle with the ball, and moved back.

Who knew that Li Liang stopped and opened his hand directly to make a three-pointer!

This guy is crazy?

He still shoots one step beyond the three-point line?

In the NBA in 1980, it was crazy.

But Li Liang knew he was not crazy.

As soon as he played today, he felt that his hands were very good.

It must have been Maravich's strong desire to win, he could feel it.

Like a radar-equipped missile, the ball got into the net.

93:97, only 4 points away!

With three consecutive three-pointers, Boston fans no longer know how to describe this sudden surprise.

What else can I do, roar!

The old roof and floor of the garden square were almost collapsed by the noise of the fans.

If this collapses, the train station below will be in trouble.

For the Celtics players, hope was rekindled and morale revived.

The veteran's soul was completely burned at this moment.

Larry Bird, who had been sluggish for the whole game, couldn't help rushing up to give Li Liang a high five.

The pressure on him tonight is too much, a rookie, the fate of the whole season is on him.

One can imagine the criticism he will receive after losing this series.

On the other side, NCAA Finals opponent Magic Johnson is about to enter the Finals.

His Lakers are currently leading the Seattle SuperSonics 3:1, and they can enter the finals after winning the next game.

Another failure, Bird still remembers the pain of the NCAA in 1979.

Maravich patted Bird on the shoulder, "Relax, we'll win, I'll be there later, make another three-pointer, and you pass the ball to me."
