Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Li Liang has just finished Houston's shooting lessons recently, and his ability to run off the ball, catch the ball and pull up jump shots has improved to a higher level.

Others can't tell just by looking at the statistics and shooting posture. After all, the improvement in ability value is not too great.

Li Liang's own feeling when playing on the court is obvious.

For example, he now shoots fewer ultra-long three-pointers than last season.

It's not that he's missing shots, but that his reliance on "open spots" isn't as pronounced as it was last season.

In the past, he traded space for time, using enough distance to form an open space and prevent the opponent's shooting interference.

He'll also be paired with his 3-point percentage boost.

With the steady improvement of various shooting abilities this season, he no longer relies so much on space for time, and can choose his shot point more calmly.

After all, the shooting percentage will still be higher if the distance is closer.

From a tactical point of view, Li Liang will have more choices.

In addition, his current offensive power with the ball is also available, and he can be more flexible in his style of play.

Of course, Li Liang didn't want to be flexible at the beginning of the second half.

He just wanted to kill the Pacers and Paul George with one blow.

To this end, he carefully discussed with Paul and Griffin, and then after the start of the third quarter, he carefully chose the opportunity to play.

The first offense in the second half started with the Clippers.

The Clippers' first attack chose to let Paul single Hill with the ball in the 45-degree rib.

As a result, Paul missed a mid-range jumper after a tentative step.

West, on the other hand, caught the ball in the low post, turned back and beat Griffin and scored two points.

The two sides tied at 49.

The Clippers' positional battle was the same as the first time. Griffin came out to catch the ball, and the high post passed it to Paul. Paul got the ball in the ribs and one-on-one George Hill.

This time Paul did not make a strong shot himself, but pretended to walk in the middle with the help of Griffin's cover. As a result, he attracted the Pacers' defensive attention in the middle and passed the ball to Li Liang on the wing.

Li Liang made some adjustments after catching the ball, and made a direct three-point shot...hit!

This ball Paul George rushed over to block the interference desperately, but it was useless.

Li Liang hit the first three-pointer of the second half.

He doesn't use any props.

Vogel was a little nervous off the court, and if there were Pacers fans in front of the TV, their heartbeat would also speed up.

Li Liang made a three-pointer with the first goal in the second half, which is not a good sign.

It can even be said that this is a bra!

Li Liang's sudden three-point rain is really one of the most terrifying scoring surges in the NBA.

The entire Pacers team showed a high degree of vigilance, and Vogel kept emphasizing, "Pay attention to Bruce, pay attention to Bruce!"

This is simply a red alert.

However, Li Liang did not have three-pointers like rain. He still played with his teammates and passed the ball, especially Griffin, as in the first half.

Griffin played a pick-and-roll with Li Liang in an offense, received a pass from Li Liang, rushed up with one step, and threw his whole body at Hibbert!

Hibbert is still too tall, and Griffin's arms are too short.

Griffin dunks when you dunk, and grabs Hibbert's head and presses it down?

Of course, the ball finally blew Hibbert's defensive blocking foul, and Griffin was going to the free throw line.

Griffin made two free throws.

In the third quarter, the two sides launched a battle for the inside line.

David West began to work hard, using his skillful footwork and basket skills to push Griffin under the basket.

Afterwards, Paul broke through the basket, attracted three people to defend, and passed the ball to Jordan, who took the ball and dunked with one hand!

Li Liang opened up the space on the outside, and the Pacers were able to come and go freely on the inside by Paul.

Then, Hibbert hit hard with the ball at the basket, turned his back and missed a layup at the basket. Come back with success.

Griffin took the rebound and wanted to do it himself. He dribbled forward, spun the top, faced Hibbert again, and forced a layup!

Griffin is unbelieving, and insists on proving himself in front of the long-armed Hibbert.

Hibbert's defense still had a little downward pressure, but the referee still didn't call a foul, and Griffin missed a layup.

Don't you have a clue about your short hands?

Li Liang followed up from behind, tapped the ball into the basket, and the Clippers scored 58 points.

Hibbert originally wanted to stare at Griffin, but when he dunked just now, Griffin held Hibbert's head and tried to dunk, which annoyed Hibbert.

In the end, before he had time to stare, Li Liang and the oriole came out from behind and made a tip-up, which made Hibbert's defensive efforts come to naught.

Hibbert was a little depressed, and Li Liang had the ability to make people depressed.

Subsequently, the inside competition between the two sides became more and more intense.

Stephenson's strong breakthrough inside caused Li Liang to foul and go to the free throw line.

The first free throw hit, the second missed, West grabbed the offensive rebound.

However, Li Liang and Jordan Jr. struggled to interfere at the basket, which made West's inevitable layup go too hard and bounced out of the frame.

Griffin took another backcourt rebound. This time he didn't do it himself and gave it to Paul.

Paul quickly crossed the half with the ball and passed the ball to Li Liang who was going down quickly.

Li Liang caught the ball and went to the basket, but this time he missed a jumper.

The Pacers' defense is quite good, the defense is timely, the interference is in place, and the formation is not chaotic.

Their counterattack was also methodical. After passing the ball continuously, West gave the ball to Hibbert at the basket in a high position, and Hibbert turned around and hit a hook.

And Griffin finally succeeded in attacking the low post. He received Li Liang's high pass, turned around and made a fake shot to shake the opponent away, and then succeeded in a backhand layup.

The internal battle between the two sides made the fans think that it was back to the NBA more than ten years ago, and the center and power forward were still extremely critical forces on the court.

Backcourt players are keen to break through rather than shoot from the outside. They rush to the inside, pull the bar to change hands, and cause damage.

The word "causing damage" has appeared less and less in the past two years.

The players on both sides gradually put all their energy into the inside line. There are always three or four people under the basket on both sides to grab rebounds, protect the frame, and fight hand-to-hand.

The smell of gunpowder on both sides is getting stronger, especially between Hibbert, Griffin, and Jordan.

Both Griffin and Jordan were holding their breath and wanting to dunk Hibbert on the head. This big black tower is really a pillar in the interior. The space to play, the defensive role on the court can be seen with the naked eye.

After Hibbert threw a hook over Jordan's head, Paul used Li Liang's screen to slip to the bottom line, then lobbed the ball to Jordan who was in the middle, and fed an alley-oop!

Jordan's alley-oop dunk was destroyed by Hibbert, and the referee called a foul.

Hibbert would rather foul than give the Clippers insiders a chance to dunk on his head.

This is the dignity of a defensive insider.

Just like Shaquille O'Neal, he will never let anyone put a buckle on his head, and push people down.

Then Jordan makes a free throw...

The Clippers basically have no hope.

It is normal to miss two free throws, just treat him as a missed shot.

If you enter one, you will win the lottery, if you enter two, you will win the lottery, and you will make a lot of money.

As a result, Jordan missed two free throws. At 54:60, the Clippers still led by 6 points.

Subsequently, the Pacers completed a very beautiful cooperation in the counterattack.

George Hill picks and rolls with West on the wing, and West screens and rolls.

But Hill didn't pass the ball directly to West, but gave the ball to Hibbert at the top of the arc.

Hibbert is a big tower. He can stand tall and see far when he holds the ball, and he can pass it far.

He made a high lob, West caught the ball and took a step in, drove the defender under the basket, and made a layup.

Very beautiful cooperation, the Clippers' defense is already in place, but this cooperation is really smooth.

Both sides insisted on playing inside and rushing in. As a result, Li Liang was gradually forgotten.

Vogel stopped shouting "Beware of Bruce" from the sidelines. Li Liang's three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter seemed to be a flash in the pan.

Later, like an insider, he rushed to the basket to grab rebounds, protect the frame, defend desperately, and made a three-pointer without even a threat.

The Pacers players have long forgotten his three-pointer, and his attention is on Griffin and Jordan, and he doesn't want them to dunk.

At this time, when Paul used Jordan's cover to get rid of Hill's defense, he caused Hill's hand foul.

Looking at the time, there are more than six minutes left in the third quarter, and it's time for a substitution.

Paul winked at Li Liang, and Li Liang shouted at Rivers: "Old Li, don't look, it's time to change!"

Rivers watched the wonderful confrontation for five minutes on the sidelines, and almost forgot to make a substitution.

Hurry up, Griffin is substituted and Crawford comes on.

After Crawford played, the Clippers' offensive focus and lineup structure changed.

It's just that the Pacers players haven't come out of the inside confrontation.

Li Liang sent the sideline ball, Jordan came out to catch the ball, and then made a hand-to-hand pass for Li Liang to catch the screen.

As soon as Li Liang got the ball, Crawford and Barnes moved in. Li Liang pretended to pass the ball, but he secretly groaned [Three-point Shooting Rate Improvement Post (a)].

Within three minutes, the three-point shooting rate increased, and the Pacers were still shrinking their defense. Li Liang had already used Jordan's cover to shoot head-on!

A sudden three-pointer, shot by the Pacers unsuspectingly, and then hollowed into the net, they realized that there was an outside killer who had been watching them.

If Vogel was vigilant enough, he should call a timeout at this time to let Li Liang's hands cool down, at least to consume his prop time.

But the Pacers played well on the offensive end, and with a three-pointer, Vogel has confidence in the players' defense.

In the first half, Li Liang and Paul played a pick-and-roll, and Vogel had arranged a pick-and-roll against Paul-Li Liang during the halftime break.

Naive, pick and roll? Li Liangcai was too lazy to pick and roll.

The Pacers' offense was really good. After Hibbert caught the ball from a high position, seeing the Clippers shrink, he tried a mid-range shot and made it.

But the Clippers counterattacked quickly. Li Liang personally dribbled the ball across half court. In the middle, Barnes and Jordan continued to cover Li Liang. Ding made another three-pointer!

Relying on the [Zero-Second Shot] skill, Li Liang's shooting speed was already quite fast, and the defenders were unable to interfere.

The result was another three-pointer!

At 58:66, Vogel was finally a little worried and stood up from the bench again.

But the Pacers players are really tough.

Faced with Li Liang's fiery touch, Paul George stepped forward.

He dribbled the ball to speed up and throw Barnes away, then took a step back in the bottom corner, and made a difficult three-pointer!

His shot was a little bit backward, but he also went in!

61:66, the Pacers continued to bite the score.

Li Liang's adrenaline surged, and he knew he had to respond.

Outside Li Liang and Paul George are one-on-one, Li Liang dribbles outside to adjust the rhythm.

He has an advantage over George in height. He found the right timing, started at the best rhythm, and then made an emergency stop for a three-point shot!

Paul George has defended to the extreme, with no flaws, and the block interference is also in place in the end.

But looking back, the ball is still hollow into the net, another three-pointer!

61:69!

Three consecutive three-pointers!

But Vogel still didn't call a timeout, because the Pacers were also scoring, and George was responding.

But Vogel made a mistake. Li Liang is not an ordinary player, he is the father of the system!

In this case, will he let George score again?

As soon as George received the ball, he was directly hit by Li Liang's [Death Coil], and he broke the ball abruptly!

This death entanglement is simply Li Liang's magical skill to turn the tables on his opponent. He will always use this skill that can only be used once in a game at the most appropriate time to deal the biggest blow to his opponent.

Li Liang, who succeeded in stealing the ball, dribbled the ball to kill the half court, and George chased after him.

But Li Liang didn't choose to hit the basket, but gave the ball to Paul who was following behind.

Paul catches the ball for a while, and then passes it back to Li Liang.

Li Liang has already made adjustments on the outside line, he doesn't care if George posted it, I just want to shoot in front of your face!

Li Liang is one step away from the three-point line, catches the ball and makes a three-point shot!

George was visibly panicked, the ball was too strong, and he slapped Li Liang on the arm.

It's over, foul, free throw.

What's more, the ball was still scored!

The Staples Center was in a frenzy. In three minutes, Li Liang hit four three-pointers and five three-pointers in the third quarter, including a four-pointer.

It was another night of Li Liang's performance. George's outstanding performance was just a foil for Li Liang's performance.

Vogel knew it was bad now, the 8-point gap, this 4-point hit, became 12 points.

It was evenly matched at first, and I felt faintly able to bite, but turned over in the last quarter.

As a result, he was knocked to the ground with one punch and stepped on twice.

The only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans never learn them, and this is especially true of basketball coaches.

After Li Liang made a free throw, Vogel called a timeout.

But Li Liang's performance was not over. Although it was time for the three-point shooting percentage improvement post, Li Liang still had other means of attack.

He and Paul's cooperation became more and more proficient, and finally seized the opportunity to use [Rain Man's Umbrella] to slam Hibbert on the head!

500 anger points, exchanged for a wave of venting on Hei Yao Ming's head, it's worth it!
