Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Li Liang appeared in the middle of the second quarter.

His performance was still mediocre, and he missed two forced three-pointers from the outside.

The rhythm of the game was completely wrong.

There was no three-point line in the game in the 1970s, and the game in the 1980s did not pay much attention to the three-point shot, so Li Liang's outside shooting will be much easier.

Starting to play games in the 90s, the situation is completely different, especially in the playoffs.

George Karl yelled off the court, and also criticized Li Liang during the timeout, "Shoot carefully, don't be so casual, what's going on with you tonight?"

Karl's mentality was very restless, and the pressing defense did not have the expected effect, and he fell into a strangling battle with the Nuggets.

The scores of the two sides have always been close, and the Supersonic side Payton was affected by a foot injury, and he obviously played sometimes on the court.

The Supersonics team has always had a problem, that is, the lack of strong attackers.

As the core players, Payton and Kemp are lacking in offensive methods.

Therefore, in every key game, the Supersonics are prone to falling into a chain-losing situation.

They rely quite heavily on defensive strangulation and quick counterattacks instigated by Payton, which keeps them fighting for positions. They lack absolute strengths.

The Key Arena was buzzing, but Li Liang didn't disturb his mentality because of George Karl's criticism.

Anyway, if you can't win today, you can still fight next time!

But Li Liang thought, it is better to pass once.

Originally, the Nuggets also narrowly won this game. What Li Liang has to do is to find the offensive feeling and adapt to the intensity of the game in the 1990s.

As long as he can open it when needed, Li Liang has confidence in his touch and shooting ability.

Li Liang, who was gradually "Zhanhua" in the actual game, came to the task and began to become "scientific" again.

Believe in your own hand, as long as you vote, you will always get in!

At the end of the second quarter, the two sides scored 41:44, and the Nuggets were only 3 points behind the Sonics.

The third quarter will be the moment of the real decisive battle between the two sides.

In this game in history, the two sides fought fiercely to overtime, and the Supersonic offense could not break through the ten fingers of the "African Mountain", and was eventually eliminated.

Li Liang can't do it this time, can Lao Tzu's three-pointer fly over the mountains in Africa?

Fifteen minutes later, the third quarter began.

Before the start, George Karl specifically asked Li Liang, "Control your shots, mobilize the team more, mobilize the team!"

Schramf is a glue presence in the Sonics. His shooting ability and organizational ability are very suitable for the Sonics lineup and style of play.

In the case of Payton's injury, Schramf-Liang's role is crucial.

Li Liang nodded. He is not a Tietouba either. He knows that hand feeling cannot be forced, so he still needs to see the opportunity.

On the first goal after the start of the third quarter, the Nuggets missed a mid-range jumper, and the Supersonics took a backcourt rebound.

After halftime, Payton passed the ball to Li Liang in the low post.

In the 1990s, most offenses started from the low post instead of using pick-and-rolls.

Not only the center forwards, but the forwards and defenders all had good low-post offense or support skills, which was the basic skill of that era.

Li Liang was double-teamed by the Nuggets after receiving the ball, and Mutombo came from the line to encircle Li Liang.

Li Liang was calm and calm, and made a pass from behind to put the ball into the three-second zone. After receiving the ball, Kemp made a layup!

A beautiful pass, and the key arena is full of joy.

Then, the Nuggets still missed the offense, Payton took the rebound and launched a counterattack, assisting Kendall Hill for a layup!

Then, Mutombo fouled on the offensive rebound and knocked Payton down.

Payton passed the ball to Li Liang again, Li Liang received the ball, and hit a mid-range board jumper!

At the beginning of the second half, the Sonics beat the Nuggets 6:0!

The situation was developing in a good direction, and Nuggets coach Dan Issel called a timeout.

Supersonic fans are very happy, think this is a harbinger of the home team's start, the lead is almost 10 points.

Only Li Liang knew that this was far from enough. The Nuggets tonight were very, very tenacious.

After returning from the timeout, the Nuggets still missed a shot, and Hill hit a mid-range jumper from the left corner for the Supersonics. The difference between the two sides widened to 11 points!

This is the biggest difference in the game so far.

The Nuggets did not change their strategy, they still played inside.

Rauf drives down the middle, then hits the pass to Dikembe Mutombo on the baseline, who fouls the Sonics for a layup.

Li Liang shook his head when he saw the ball on the flank. The Supersonic defense line was really a little allergic.

So what if you let him go deeper like Rauf?

The siege just past the free-throw line ended up leaking the baseline, allowing Dikembe Mutombo to attack the rim himself.

Li Liang's defensive awareness is different from Schramf's, but it's a pity that the Supersonic's defensive system cannot be changed for him.

The Supersonics' overly sensitive double-teaming and oppression system led to their defense being used by the Nuggets in various ways.

Mutombo made two free throws and narrowed the point difference.

Then the Sonics' offense was almost blocked by the Nuggets for 24 seconds, and finally Kemp barely made a shot and missed.

The Nuggets patiently passed the ball and found Reggie Williams in the right corner. Williams made a mid-range jumper and hit two points.

The Nuggets played very patiently and with tenacity.

The Supersonics wanted to crush the Nuggets in one go, but they couldn't.

Only Li Liang played his role very patiently, trying to catch the ball under the basket.

As a result, Payton fell down and lost the ball under the combined force of Ralph's tough defense and Williams' double-team!

Payton failed to pass the ball, and the Nuggets got a fast break counterattack opportunity.

The Nuggets failed to counterattack successfully and fell into a positional battle. After missing a shot and fighting for rebounds, Ellis fouled Li Liang.

Fouls on both sides began to increase.

If the first half was still testing each other, and the fourth quarter was a bayonet fight, then the third quarter was a time to compete for internal strength.

After spending the beginning of the second half attacking each other, the two sides began to enter a state of anxious confrontation.

Offensive fouls, thug fouls, blocking fouls, all kinds of fouls disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

I would rather foul and send you to the free throw line than let you play tactics and score easily.

Throughout the third quarter, the Sonics scored 18 points and the Nuggets scored 19 points.

Li Liang still didn't make a three-point shot, he was like a lurking poisonous snake, silently waiting for an opportunity.

The fourth quarter has begun, the decisive moment.

The Sonics entered the final quarter with a mere 2-point advantage.

The advantage they established at the beginning of the third quarter was all vomited out in the second half of the third quarter.

The Nuggets firmly enforced their defense, and more than once the Nuggets coach Dan Iser was broadcast on TV, the teacher of Li Liang’s pass. Iser was always calm and composed on the sidelines, and his command and tactical arrangements were unquestionable. was successful.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Sonics got an open shot by shifting the ball 45 degrees to the left, but Michael Cage missed a jumper.

He stepped on the three-point line and made a two-point shot, and the ball missed.

The Nuggets did not counterattack quickly after getting the backcourt rebound, but slowed down to grind their position.

Unless the Nuggets have a very, very good opportunity tonight, they will not easily launch a quick counterattack, but stop and slowly grind their positions and play inside.

The success rate of the Nuggets is not particularly high, they were defended for 24 seconds in the next positional battle.

Reggie Williams missed a shot in the low post. The Nuggets grabbed the ball and passed it out, but they didn't notice that the ball didn't touch the basket.

But even so, the goal of the Nuggets has been achieved, they do not counterattack quickly, and they do not give the Supersonics a chance to break fast.

The Sonics' offense is very dependent on quick counterattacks. Without quick counterattacks, their offense will be lame.

The Supersonic's positional offense was very difficult, and the outside jumper still missed.

In the absence of a strong inside line, the Supersonic's positional offense can only rely on outside mid-range jumpers.

After they grabbed the offensive rebound, they passed the ball to Vincent Asko. Asko got the ball inside and made a foul, only to get two chances to score.

Two free throws were made, and the Sonics led by 4 points.

The Nuggets Robert Parker made a mid-range jumper and scored two points.

George Karl watched the game from the bench, occasionally looking up at the timer.

He thought about when to start changing people.

Li Liang was drinking Gatorade, and when he saw that the Supersonic missed a jump shot from outside, he cursed inwardly.

The Supersonics ran a zipper tactic on the left, but the zipper opened the Nuggets' defense, but they couldn't make the shot!

Two minutes into the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides is still 62:64, which is the current score of the Clippers in halftime.

Trailing by only two points, the Nuggets missed a 3-pointer on a counterattack.

But Brian Williams, who came in from behind, made a two-handed dunk, the score was tied, and the Sonics called a timeout.

Li Liang has a little impression of Brian Williams, because he later changed his name to Bison Dele and won a championship with the Bulls. Then in 2002, the summer when Yao Ming entered the NBA, he was caught by Killed by his own brother.

Williams' performance in this game was very eye-catching, especially in rebounding. He has grabbed 15 rebounds so far in the fourth quarter.

Including 5 offensive rebounds!

George Karl didn't say much during the timeout. Instead of laying out tactics, he asked the players to "get nervous."

Li Liang thought, do you think everyone is not nervous?

What they need is not tension, but relaxation.

George Karl was a typical "do nothing" when he was coaching, and he didn't like to arrange tactics especially during timeouts.

He said before, "The effect of arranging a tactic is not as good as grabbing an offensive rebound."

Such a head coach does not particularly trust the tactical routine itself, and he values ​​the performance and hard work of the players on the court.

The advantage is that the team's style is bold and unrestrained, and it will perform beyond the level, such as abusing the opponent by 58 points.

The disadvantage is that it collapses very badly.

If it hits supersonic speed, it will crash if it can't.

They need a wing stabilization system.

At this time, Li Liang appeared on the stage.

After Li Liang appeared on the field, according to the tactical requirements, Li Liang should ask for the ball in the low post on the left side, play back singles or organize support.

As a result, Li Liang received the ball from a very outside position, and Sam Perkins, who passed the ball to him, was a little hesitant. Such a shallow position, what are you doing?

Is it a post-up single from the three-point line?

Of course Li Liang doesn't know how to do back-to-back punches, so why do you want back-to-back punches?

Li Liang didn't call for a pick-and-roll either. He dribbled the ball and took two steps back. When he was beyond the three-point line, he adjusted his rhythm.

The person defending him is Reggie Williams, and he follows closely.

But he obviously didn't expect that Schramf-Liang would choose a three-pointer at this time and this position.

Li Liang felt that it was time, and felt that point in his hand.

Looking at the basket, I feel my fingers are about to move, and I imagine the picture of the ball being shot in my mind, and it will fly into the basket accurately.

Many people feel this way when they look at the basket with the ball in their hands. They feel that the basket is so close, so big, and it is easy to shoot into it.

As soon as he made a move, he thought, "It's crooked, it's wilted, it's hardened, and it's strong."

But Li Liang is different. In terms of shooting, he is a genius, a genius with systematic blessings.

Li Liang used the fastest three-point shot, without the bonus of [Zero Second Shot], he consciously speeded up his shot.

Williams didn't have time to pounce on the ball, and watched the ball fly to the basket.

When George Karl saw that Li Liang was about to shoot a three-pointer, he opened his mouth anxiously to curse.

But all such coaches can't escape a "really fragrant" in the end.

"Shua!"

Three points hit!

The Key Arena was filled with jubilation.

George Karl let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Iser curled his lips, thinking that Schramf-Liang was playing with a ball.

But he really dared to shoot this ball, such an anxious moment.

The Nuggets are desperately playing inside, and this guy dares to make a strong three-pointer from the outside.

Even after 20 years, when the three-pointer is greatly developed, and when it comes to the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, most coaches will still believe that "the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score."

This is the eternal basic law of basketball, and it is doomed from the moment its rules of the game are laid down.

But there are always people who want to challenge the rules.

The Sonics, who were still behind by 2 points, took the lead.

But the Nuggets fought back on offense.

It was Brian Williams again, another offensive rebound, the sixth of the game, and he passed to Robert Parker in the corner.

Parker made a three-pointer from the left corner and it hit!

A very, very deadly goal, Robert Parker hit a key three-pointer, and the TV commentator couldn't help but yelled out.

Then the Sonics offense didn't have a chance after repeated impacts. Finally, Payton missed a mid-range jumper and fell to the ground-his feet were difficult to balance.

Not enough Li Liang grabbed the offensive rebound with the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball to the right corner, and without thinking much, turned over and shot a three-pointer!

Purely relying on the feeling in his hands, he should have passed the ball to reorganize the offense.

But Li Liang knew that even if the news got out, the Supersonic positional battle still couldn't break the Nuggets' iron barrel formation, so it was better to use this opportunity of offensive rebounds to fight.

The ball is still in!

This time George Karl no longer breathed a sigh of relief, but clenched his fists tightly.

This ball is too critical, what tactics, what safety, is there anything more important than a three-pointer?

And Dan Issel was a little confused, the situation was obviously tilting towards the Nuggets, but Schramf's two three-pointers dragged the Supersonics up again.

The two sides entered the final five minutes, and the Key Arena was about to suffocate.

The Nuggets attacked, Mutombo received the ball in the low post, and was double-teamed by the Sonics.

As a result, the Sonics once again paid the price for excessive double-teaming.

The Nuggets moved the ball to the weak side, and Brian Williams caught the ball and made a mid-range jumper.

At this time, Kemp broke through with the ball and gave the ball to Perkins on the left. Perkins caught the ball and made a three-pointer!

Li Liang's three-pointer seems to have given confidence to the rest of the Supersonics.

Perkins made a shot and hit a three-pointer!

Now the Sonics fans went completely crazy, they cheered for the Sonics loudly.

Now the Sonics lead the Nuggets by 3 points.

Then, the two sides began to foul, free throws, iron strikes, fouls, free throws...

Li Liang felt that his arms were covered with scars, and his tinnitus was about to explode. The movements of both sides and the decibels of the arena really made people's blood boil.

At the critical moment, the Sonics defended against the Nuggets for another 24 seconds. Li Liang took off in the three-second zone and destroyed the Nuggets' lob.

Then, Li Liang caught the ball with his back on the outside again, still in a shallow position.

This time the Nuggets teamed up, and they didn't want Li Liang to shoot three-pointers anymore.

But this time Li Liang made another ground pass, and Sean Kemp, who was in the middle, caught the ball and went to the basket, and then a dunk with one hand across the African mountain!

The Sonics were suppressed for a whole game, and even the momentum that had been suppressed for three games came back all at once.

For a team like the Supersonics, in today's game, Sean Kemp didn't even dunk, and Gary Payton didn't even send an assist to Kemp for the alley-oop. Is this still the Seattle Supersonics?

Li Liang broke the team's suppressed mentality with his three-pointers and passes.

Then there was a controversial ball on the defensive end, and the Sonics defended the Nuggets for another 24 seconds, but the Nuggets believed that the Sonics had made a defensive foul.

Mutombo yelled "God-damn," with his gong-like voice toward the technical table, asking the referee to watch the video and re-call the penalty.

As a result, the referee did not change the judgment, thinking that there was no foul at the basket, and the Nuggets violated the 24-second offense.

Then Li Liang threw his deadliest shot of the game.

After passing the midfield, he stood at the LOGO of the stadium and received a pass from Payton.

Originally, the ball was passed to him to respond, and he wanted to pass it back to Payton who was running down to continue to organize the attack.

As a result, Li Liang did not pass back to Payton. Payton turned his head and found that Li Liang was on the edge of the logo, three steps away from the three-point line, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Is this guy crazy?

Playoffs! Life and death battle!

At this time, you throw a three-pointer in this place?

Unprecedented, unprecedented, the fans at the scene stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

George Karl just sat down and picked up a Gatorade paper cup to drink water, when he saw Li Liang throw it all at once and spit it out.

Then a second later, the ball passed through the heart, and a three-pointer was hit, hit!

George Karl threw the paper cup out of his hand excitedly, and the drink splashed all over the players and coaches on the bench.

But no one minded, because Schramf-Liang's goal almost sealed the victory.

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left before the end of the game, the Sonics led by 8 points!

The Nuggets called a timeout. Judging from the Nuggets' offensive performance, it is almost impossible for them to counterattack.

Li Liang received the most applause from the fans when he left the field. The supersonic substitutes rushed up to hug him, but Li Liang calmly said: "It's not over, it's not over yet."

Li Liang knows that everything is possible in 1 minute and 20 seconds.

And Li Liang then used a steal to completely eliminate the possibility of the Nuggets coming back.

In the end, at 98:88, the Sonics defeated the Denver Nuggets by 10 points in the life-and-death battle, avoiding the first black-eight miracle in NBA history and changing the course of the NBA playoffs this year.

Because the Houston Rockets are really afraid of the Seattle Supersonics.

The mission is completed, and the hustle and bustle of the key arena gradually disappears:

[The mission is completed, stop the black eight miracles, get rewards: strong three-pointer ability value +20 (60), get special items: a map leading to the space library. 】
