Chapter 201 The Victory of Strategy

[Welcome back to the Almighty King system, whether to continue the mission]

【yes! 】

[Mission, curb Duncan's first show, time: October 31, 1997, location: Denver McNichles Arena, USA, against: San Antonio Spurs VS Denver Nuggets,? Mission requirements: Defeat Tim Duncan, put his Keep the score below 10 points, help the Nuggets win, task reward: basic defensive ability inside +10, all small items +5, one special item, task difficulty: normal]

After entering the system, Li Liang re-examined the requirements of this task.

It's like doing a topic in high school. When you feel that you can't do it, read the topic several times.

Because all the effective information for solving the problem is included in the title, if it cannot be done, it means that the information extraction is not in place.

Or if the information extraction is in place, you really can't.

The previous missions, from Webber to Garnett to Nowitzki, had slightly different requirements.

Weber's explicit request to "counter Weber" shows that one defense and one defense can deal with Weber.

Facts have proved that in that game, using some perimeter defensive skills, plus resisting and grabbing backcourt rebounds, it was a success.

Because Olajuwon and Thorpe are behind to help.

The second one hit Garnett, and the requirement was "don't let him score." The subsequent process proved that Garnett scored mainly by eating cakes.

So don't let him score, that is to destroy his chance to eat the pie.

The third player to play Nowitzki, like Garnett, is required to suppress the score... It shows that Nowitzki is similar, a rookie insider, and his ability to attack independently is not strong.

The two missions are relatively easy, they cut off the aid, if you can't do it, you will foul, talk trash, in short, just don't let them get points.

Only Duncan's mission is different. The mission clearly requires "defeat Duncan".

The process of the game also showed that opportunism is not enough to prevent scoring. You must confront Duncan head-on and defeat him.

With Li Liang's ability, can he defeat Duncan now? It must be far away.

But there are no absolutes in the NBA, especially the outcome and performance of a game.

No matter how strong the team is, it is not sure that it will win the so-called weak team, and no matter how strong the players are, they will definitely be able to beat the opposing role players in a game.

As long as the players are in good condition and the team targets well, the weak can defeat the strong, and the small can make big gains.

Also, for several other tasks, except for [basic interior defense] plus points, other small items are all added.

Duncan's task is all added, not only because this task is difficult, but also because these ability tasks require you to use them all.

Therefore, Li Liang made full preparations for this mission.

He found the video of that game, pondered and watched it repeatedly, and made a game plan in his mind.

Once on duty, he donned the red and white Nuggets jersey again.

At the beginning of the game, there were not too many people in the Mike Nichols arena, and some seats were empty.

Because the game lacks star flavor, usually the audience will pour in after the game is halfway through.

The Nuggets' starters are guards Brian Stitch and Bobby Jackson, forwards Eric Williams, Li Liang, and center Garrett.

Properly a garbage lineup, Eric - Williams is the team's leading scorer.

The No. 2 scorer is Rafonso Ellis, out with a hernia and unable to play at all.

Just such a bad lineup, remove the original Tony Batty and replace him with Li Liang, to play against the Twin Towers Spurs.

In addition to the Twin Towers, the Spurs also have Avery Johnson, Elliott and Negro-the Clippers coach.

This talent and ability are not at the same level at all. Li Liang just wants to defeat the strong with the weak.

The first step he has to do is to determine the matchup on the field.

The head coach of the Nuggets is Bill Hanzlik, who played for the Nuggets in the 1980s and was an important substitute for English's Nuggets.

Later, he became an assistant coach, and this year he became the head coach for the first time.

After this season, he disappeared from the position of head coach, after all, the record is too poor.

This kind of coach can't be counted on. Li Liang can only direct his teammates on the field.

The teammates really listen to him, there is no way, if the teammates lose their temper and don't cooperate, then there is really no way to fight.

Li Liang asked Garrett to face Duncan, and he went to face David Robinson.

Li Liang's thoughts are very clear, no matter how bad Garrett is, he is a center in the 90s after all.

The ability and skills of low post defense are still better than myself, and the height is also there, so let him go against Duncan first.

As for whether Li Liang can stand up to David Robinson? Whatever it is, let him beat me up, just keep Duncan from getting comfortable.

But the Nuggets still have to win, what to do, they can only rely on offense.

As soon as the game started, Robinson succeeded in jumping the ball and the game started.

Li Liang clearly remembered that the first ball would pass Duncan's hand, and then Johnson broke through and passed the ball to David Robinson.

David Robinson would drive the ball to the rim for layups.

Sure enough, everything went according to the script. Li Liang didn't stop Robinson and watched him make a layup.

Then Li Liang immediately served Bobby Jackson in the backcourt, telling Jackson to rush!

Jackson quickly crossed the half with the ball, and Li Liang ran beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Jackson passed the ball to Li Liang. As soon as Li Liang got the ball, everyone thought he had to slow down and pass the ball to his teammates.

As a result, Li Liang made a three-pointer without saying a word!

In the second step of the plan, the three-pointer must be shot first.

Whether you can win or not depends on three points.

"Shua!"

Not bad, Li Liang hit this open three-pointer, the Spurs players didn't expect him to make it.

In this game in history, the two sides scored a total of 6 three-pointers.

The Spurs shot 4 goals and scored two, which is pitiful.

Using three-pointers is the advantage of the times.

Next, the trend of the game is going according to Li Liang's plan.

As long as Duncan catches the ball, Li Liang resolutely double-teams. Duncan, if you want to pass inside to Robinson, it's up to you.

Robinson dunked several times under the basket, but Li Liang didn't care, you dunked it.

Looking back, Li Liang shot a three-pointer from the outside.

Li Liang kept running pick-and-rolls for Jackson and Stitch on the outside. After cutting outside, he shot the ball whenever he got the chance.

Regardless of whether he makes it or not, he relies on his volume to fill up the lost points at the basket.

Li Liang scored three goals, which was equivalent to the Spurs scoring in five rounds.

Because Robinson still wanted to make free throws, Li Liang fouled when he saw that he couldn't do it.

Robinson shot 55 percent from the line tonight.

Therefore, they succeeded in fighting five times, which is equivalent to Li Liang succeeding in fighting three times.

Moreover, not only Li Liang shot three-pointers for the Nuggets, but Bobby Jackson also shot three-pointers.

Li Liang took charge of the Nuggets' offense and resolutely refused to pass the ball inside.

Under the defensive coverage of the twin towers, Garrett's offense is completely catastrophic. It is a waste of opportunity to let him attack, it is better to shoot from the outside.

During the timeout, Bill Hanzlik hoped that the team would play more, but Li Liang directly slammed him back.

The coach just stopped talking, it's up to you.

In the first quarter, Li Liang made 4 of 6 three-pointers and Jackson made 1 of 2 three-pointers.

Although the offensive success rate is not as good as that of the Spurs, the score actually bites, and the tie is tied at 26:26.

Duncan only scored two points and had three assists in the first quarter by relying on low singles. Anyway, he played very selflessly.

Since it is double-teamed, I will definitely pass the ball.

Then, Li Liang did not rest and continued to play the second quarter.

He also has an important third-step plan, which is to beat Duncan down.

Of course, instead of giving him a jio and another elbow as Malone said, Duncan fouled.

This will test Li Liang's acting skills and foul-making ability.

In the first quarter, Duncan fouled once.

Throughout the game, Duncan's foul control was very good.

It can only be said that the Nuggets' firepower is too weak, and it is not worth Duncan's foul at all.

In the second quarter, when Duncan rested, Li Liang continued to play.

This time Li Liang stopped throwing three-pointers, he started assisting, responding, hitting the ground and passing the ball.

The Nuggets' offense is very simple here. After a pick-and-roll, they rush or shoot if they have a chance, and they play by themselves if they don't have a chance.

They didn't grab offensive rebounds and retreated with all their strength.

This is all directed by Li Liang on the field, he is tired, and he is both a player and a coach.

Roaring is required for defense, and roaring is required for offense. Roaring and roaring really boosted the morale of the Nuggets.

This is Li Liang's fourth step, which is to boost the morale of the whole team and unleash the potential of the players.

To defeat the strong with the weak depends on one breath, especially at home.

When the Nuggets had a faint feeling of momentum in the second quarter, Popovich called a timeout and replaced Duncan.

At this time, Popovich was not the wily Popovich later, he was criticized on the spot.

The situation on the Nuggets side of the field is obvious, that is, three-pointers from the outside, plus personal assault penetration.

Popovich really didn't know what to do when he encountered Li Liang's unreasonable pick-and-roll three-pointer.

It's okay, just go to Duncan.

As a result, Duncan fouled on the offensive end as soon as he came up.

He took the ball in the low position, Li Liang came to double-team, he didn't use his hands or feet, but used his face to double-team.

As a result, when Duncan raised his hand and turned around, he "hit" Li Liang in the face with an elbow.

Li Liang fell to the ground covering his face, looking very painful, and almost rolled on the ground.

The referee blew his whistle and called Duncan an offensive foul. Duncan was in a daze. My sister hit him.

The referee doesn't know if you hit him or not, but from his point of view, Duncan's elbow did touch Li Liang.

Li Liang fell to the ground, he must have been shot.

Seeing the referee's whistle, Li Liang got up from the ground, and pretended to cover his lips and wipe them, looking like he was bleeding.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just pretending.

Duncan fouled twice, and Li Liang still has another chance.

It is not easy to deceive NBA referees. Without a certain strength as a basis, it can only increase laughter.

Li Liang's approach is to shoot three-pointers to attract Duncan's defense.

Li Liang went all out, anyway, his [Strong three-point shooting] ability value has increased.

He quits covering and asks Garrett to come out and cover him.

Set a screen one step away from the three-point line, and then go straight to the three-point shot.

No one expected this distance, and it turned out to be in!

5 of 7 three-pointers, Li Liang feels very good tonight.

If the hand feels bad and you can't make a shot, no matter how you think about it, it will be a waste of time.

Li Liang took advantage of the loophole that the defense did not strictly control the three-pointer back then.

Li Liang carefully studied the Spurs' defensive style in 1998.

Because of the twin towers, the Spurs in 1998 had the best rim protection and the best backboard protection in the league.

Backcourt rebounds and blocks per game rank first and second in the league, respectively.

At the same time, their steals are the last in the league, and the number of opponent assists is also the last in the league.

It shows that they focus on pinching the opponent's transfer ball on the defensive end, do not conduct oppressive defense against the attacker, and do not conduct gambling steals.

It can be said that this defensive thinking has continued in the Spurs for 20 years, and on this basis Popovich has been repaired every year.

It is precisely because of this defensive strategy that the Spurs are particularly afraid of mid-range and long-range singles players-represented by Kobe.

Unreasonable one-on-one mid-range shots can make the Spurs full of bags.

Not to mention the three-point shot, after the league experienced a shortened three-point shot in the mid-1990s, which led to a large increase in the number of three-point shots, in the 1997-1998 season, the three-point line was changed back to the original distance.

The Spurs suffered from a three-pointer in 1995 and were defeated by the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.

It is because the three-point line is shortened, the Rockets' three-point firepower is fully fired, and the Spurs are not enough to resist.

So it's not without reason that Popovich said he hates the 3-point shot.

This season, the three-point line has returned to 7.25 meters, which means that the difficulty of shooting three-pointers has greatly increased, making the era of three-pointers more than ten years late.

But Li Liang is different. He is beyond this era. Popovich didn't expect this person to be so accurate with three-pointers.

When Li Liang picked and rolled again in the second quarter and got an open shot, Duncan couldn't bear it and came up to help defend.

This is inevitable.

Li Liang knew that Duncan had taken the bait, so he voted first and missed.

The Spurs grabbed a rebound from the backcourt and counterattacked. Duncan caught the ball under the basket and Li Liang stepped forward to foul.

His foul was so vicious that it almost took Duncan's arm off.

On the free throw line, 1 of 2 free throws, Duncan has only scored 3 points so far.

Nuggets 33:31, leading the Spurs by two points.

A minute later, both sides each hit a goal.

The Nuggets attacked again, and Li Liang received the ball from a high position at the top of the arc, and played a trick on Garrett.

Garrett came to the pick-and-roll, Duncan came out again, and switched defenses.

Li Liang was about to make a shot with the ball, but Duncan leaned over, Li Liang made a fake move and shook Duncan up.

Duncan saw that Li Liang didn't vote, and knew it was going to be bad, but it was too late.

Li Liang slammed into Duncan, then shot and drew a foul.

The referee blew his whistle, and Popovich spun around angrily on the sidelines. Less than five minutes into the second quarter, Duncan committed three fouls!

What to do, rest at the end, Popovich can only make substitutions.

Li Liang worked hard and finally got Duncan down.

Do this step, the plan is half completed.

But there is no absolute in the game, and there is still more than half of the game. The Spurs don't just have one Duncan.

The Spurs brought in backup insider Carl Herrera, who used to be the Rockets' backup center.

During Weber's mission, Li Liang played with him.

Seeing the replacement of Herrera, Li Liang chuckled and thought to himself, it is true that Popovich was poor on the spot in his early years.

The Nuggets have shot three-pointers like this, and they still go to the traditional inside line. Is this fatal?

In those days, it was very rare for a big and four small to shoot three-pointers inside.

In order to protect the basket and rebounds, there must be two inside players on the field.

Now the Nuggets can continue their outside shooting.

The Nuggets' offense has been brought up by Li Liang, and the players have started singles.

Bobby Jackson, Stitch, and Williams are all capable of singles.

Their head coach, Bill Hanzlik, took the first game after taking office, and he still wanted the team to play tactics.

The Nuggets in the 1980s were an offensive civilian team that was very good at shooting and coordination tactics.

But now the Nuggets don't have the same staffing as they did back then, and you're playing the Spurs, so how can you do it?

No wonder he got 11 wins and 71 losses, and he stopped playing after a year. He is not expected to be a head coach.

The Nuggets took the opportunity to play a 15:3 super attack wave in the second half of the second quarter, which opened the score all at once.

In the original game, the Spurs trailed by 7 points in the first half.

Then in the second half, they played hard and beat the Nuggets to the north.

Li Liang now wants the Nuggets to lead as much as possible in the first half, so that they are eligible to squander in the second half.

At 56:41, the Nuggets' 15-point advantage ended the first half.

At the end of halftime, the audience was full, cheering for every goal of the Nuggets.

During the halftime break, Bill Hanzlik had stopped talking, and the team listened to Li Liang's command.

According to Bill Hanzlik's meaning, the team should seek stability, start from defense, sharpen the position, and maintain the advantage.

However, Li Liang categorically rejected his suggestion and asked the team to continue to attack violently in the second half.

Get ahead and shrink? As far as your Nuggets lineup and defensive ability, can you shrink up and defend it?

You thought you were the Detroit Pistons.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, the Nuggets did not change their style of play and continued to attack.

But in the second half, their shooting percentage dropped significantly, and the Spurs' defense began to increase.

Li Liang knew that the time for tricks and schemes had passed, and it was time to fight the bayonet again.

Li Liang and Garrett exchanged positions and started a real one-on-one matchup with Duncan.

In the first half, Duncan was so painful that he was double-teamed, and he was trapped in foul play for a short time.

One-on-one defense, Li Liang can't defend Duncan, but he has momentum!

It doesn't matter if you get scored, you can't lose your momentum, you can't be discouraged, and you can't relax.

On the offensive end, Li Liang continued the strategy of exchanging quantity for quality, making crazy three-pointers from the outside.

As long as there is even the slightest chance, after a pick-and-roll, throw as much as you can.

The three-point shooting rate plummeted.

However, as long as the investment is made, the Nuggets are earned.

Shooting 10 shots and scoring 3 shots is equivalent to the Spurs' 50% offensive success rate.

The point difference was narrowed little by little, but at every critical moment, Li Liang was able to retaliate with a three-pointer.

This style of play, Popovich has never seen before.

The previous three-point team, the Rockets, was because they had Olajuwon, a super restraining point inside.

Play inside-out, and shoot again when the outside line has a chance.

This Li Liang, if there is a slight gap in the outside line, he will throw it. The key is to be able to throw it in.

This is a bit scary, how to prevent it? He can pass the ball and can only defend alone.

The one defending Li Liang is Elliott. He is a little bit inside in defensive style. Barnes of the Warriors is very similar to him in terms of style of play and body.

When he saw Elliott who looked like Barnes, Li Liang was right, he was hitting Barnes!

Barnes was inexplicably shot.

Li Liang made 5 of 12 three-pointers in the third quarter, and the three-pointers made his arms numb.

But it also made Popovich's scalp numb. At the end of the three quarters, the Nuggets entered the fourth quarter with 85:76 and a 9-point gap.

Duncan scored 5 points in the third quarter and scored 8 points in total.

Li Liang knew that he was getting closer and closer to the completion of the task.

Bill Hanzlik wanted to replace Li Liang to rest for a while.

How is it possible, Li Liang will not rest, as long as he stands on the court, he will be a huge threat to the Spurs.

In fact, Li Liang can take a break, because the momentum of the Nuggets is fully up.

In the first game of the season, the players were full of energy and morale, and both Jackson and Stitch were in good shape.

The Spurs are a bit disgraced, their defense is overwhelmed by Li Liang's three-pointer, and there is no sense of hierarchy.

After reappearing, when Li Liangyi came up and shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc to the center of the basket, Popovich couldn't help it.

Shout a timeout!

The fourth quarter just started, Bobo, can't you bear it?

It was useless to call a timeout, and Li Liang didn't score any more after that. He went all out to defend Duncan.

He used up his remaining three foul opportunities and would rather let Duncan go to the free throw line than let him score.

When Duncan made two free throws and scored 9 points in the last minute, Li Liang knew that the game was won!

In the end, the buzzer sounded, and amidst the cheers, the Nuggets beat the Spurs by 10 points at home 118:108.

Duncan scored 9 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 6 assists.

As soon as the game was over, Li Liang was so tired that he collapsed on the ground. He didn't rest for a minute during the 48 minutes of the game!

[Mission completed, stop Tim Duncan's debut, mission reward: basic defensive ability inside the line +10 (45), all small items +5, get special item: Prajna Paramita Sutra]
