Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

The second half of the game is about to begin.

Nash did not return to the court.

Under Li Liang's persuasion, he left the Rose Garden Arena ahead of schedule, went back to the hotel to rest, and returned to Los Angeles for further inspection.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Liang was still sitting on the bench.

Blake replaced Nash as the Lakers' starting point guard.

To be honest, Nash's role in the Lakers at this time is far from being comparable to that in the Suns.

Nash scored a total of 2 points and sent 3 assists in the first half.

And he really can't keep up on the defensive end.

Li Liang put most of his energy on defense, which resulted in him not scoring a single point.

Nash was not there, Blake replaced, the impact of the Lakers' offense and defense was not too great.

During the intermission, Brown adjusted his tactics and required Kobe to be the axis of offense.

Howard played very well in the first half, shooting extremely high at the basket, and his free throws were surprisingly stable.

But Howard played offensively, and the Lakers couldn't widen the point difference.

This is a major flaw in Howard's offense.

As a so-called "super center", although he has the strength to average 20+ points per game, his 20+ points are not comparable to Duncan's 20+ points in a single game.

Most of his scores come from direct attacks from deep positions, or layups and dunk opportunities from teammates after breakthroughs.

There are also two autonomous low-post offenses, but they cannot change the Blazers' defensive formation and strategy.

Throughout the first half, no matter how good Howard felt or how many points he scored, the Blazers never double-teamed him or used other special defensive tactics.

Because Stotts, or the entire NBA head coach knows, Howard's offense is difficult to kill.

If it was Howard in 2009 and 10, he still has a certain deterrent power.

After the serious injury and weight loss, Howard's autonomous offensive threat has dropped a lot.

As a result, Howard simply scored, but could not create more offensive space for his teammates, let alone open shooting opportunities.

As the head coach who was once defeated by Howard, Brown is still very aware of Howard's characteristics.

But his arrangement obviously made Howard a little unhappy.

Howard didn't have a smile on his face until the start of the second half.

He played very well in the first half and already scored 20 points.

He also had 8 rebounds, and he made 8 of 10 free throws. He was afraid of a good shooting percentage.

Why is it so good, the tactical focus has shifted to Kobe again?

Howard thinks about it, and sometimes he admires the Chinese kid on the 28th, Bruce Lee.

The mouth is really big, dare to say anything.

If he was as aggressive as he was, he would definitely stare at Brown and scold him first.

Of course, Howard is still qualified and obeys the coach's arrangement.

After the opening of the second half, according to Brown's arrangement, Kobe Bryant was the core of the tactics to launch an attack.

On the Blazers side, continue their Flow offense.

It's like waves of flowing water, constantly hitting the Lakers' unstable defense.

And Li Liang was sitting on the bench, and from the beginning of the second half, he kept nagging at Brown.

"The coach let me go, I can organize offense, believe me, just don't let me handle the ball. Why don't you believe me? You trust me once, you let me practice offense and rebounding in the summer, I I listen to you very much. Oh, look, Lillard scored again! He scored 12 points! Can't let him score anymore! You let me go, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, one day 24 hours, one hour and 60 minutes, I will finish him in minutes!"

Li Liang watched Lillard get to the basket after picking and rolling with Aldridge in the offense, and then changed hands against Howard and succeeded in a layup. He was anxious.

Lillard scored 10 points in the first half, and then scored these two points, 12 points, only 8 points away from the 20-point line!

There is still halftime in the game, and Lillard feels pretty good tonight.

Nima, if this continues, the mission will fail.

Damn the system, why didn't the task be released earlier?

Mike Brown took a deep breath, thinking about wearing earplugs to a game for the first time.

He even had the idea of ​​sending Li Liang to the opposite bench to interfere with Stotts.

But the situation on the court is indeed not good for the Lakers.

Although Nash's effect on the Lakers is not so obvious, the problem is that Blake, who replaced him, is really embarrassing.

Blake has a certain organizational skills, the shooting is very good, but his defense is terrible.

Tonight, Blake is revisiting his hometown. After entering the NBA in 2003, he stayed in Portland for the longest time.

But facing Lillard tonight, if he continues to defend like this, he may not be shot through.

Brown was a little shaken, but can Li Liang really organize it?

Although in training, he did show a good ability to hit the ground and pass the ball.

Training can be classified as training, including preseason games are not counted.

Offensive organization is not so easy, it requires extremely high talent and rich experience accumulation.

At times like this, Brown always thinks of LeBron James, the man who made him the best coach with ease.

We played another three minutes in the third quarter, and the scene was very tense.

Kobe carefully directed the offense on the court, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to do what a point guard should do.

Passes, moves, even screens for Blake.

Throughout the summer, Kobe honed not only his body, but also his mind.

He hopes to change his style of play and usher in a gorgeous change in his career.

Therefore, even if he occasionally chooses to "not be a man" in the preseason, he still has to "be a man" during the regular season.

It's just that the fans in the Rose Garden Arena are used to Kobe's ferocity, and they always feel that something is wrong when they see Kobe like this.

As Batum hit a three-pointer in the counterattack to overtake the score, Brown finally called a timeout.

I can't bear it anymore, I have to go to Li Liang!

When leaving the Cavaliers, Brown wondered if he could get rid of his dependence on a certain player.

Become a real, Popovich-like tactician.

But don't forget that Popovich also crazily drafted Duncan back then!

Brown never imagined that in the second game of the new season, he would rely on a second-round pick.

After a long timeout of 2 minutes, Li Liang went into battle.

But what he replaced was not Ci Shiping, but Blake.

Brown took a bold step and went with a lineup without a point guard.

Let Kobe be the point guard!

To put it on last season or before, it must be suicide.

Brown is not a bold and avant-garde coach tactically.

But for some reason, he inexplicably felt that what Li Liang said might make sense.

Let him go, maybe he will really organize something?

But when Li Liang came on the field, he wasn't thinking about the organization.

He has locked his eyes on Lillard, like a hunter staring at his prey.

Nash's injury was not entirely Lillard's responsibility, and he was also unintentional in that collision.

But whether it's for Nash, for victory, or for completing tasks...

Well, in fact, in order to complete the task, Li Liang has to compete with Lillard.

Lillard has no idea of ​​the danger because the two men are simply not aligned, a point guard and a forward.

Back from the timeout for the first attack, Kobe took possession of the ball for half court, and then passed the ball to Li Liang at the top of the arc.

Li Liang holds the ball at the top of the arc!

This is a new world for him, the world at the top of the arc.

In Xia Tian's mission, when he was doing John Johnson's ground pass mission for the first time, in the system, he held the ball at the top of the arc, feeling confused.

where am i What should I do? what to do? dare not move.

After some practice, he knew to observe first.

Use extremely fast time to observe the movement of each teammate and the defensive intention of each opponent.

Reading the defense and reading the offense is what every organizer must do.

The Blazers' defense is not complicated, it is man-to-man.

Alder huddled inside to face Howard, and Batum and Matthews focused on Kobe.

Ci Shiping is slipping the bottom line, and Gasol makes a cover for him.

Here's an opportunity!

Li Liang didn't hesitate at all.

What organizers are most afraid of is hesitation and fear of making mistakes.

Because in the NBA, opportunities are fleeting.

A 0.1-second slow movement and a 0.1-second slow pass mean that an opportunity is gone.

Li Liang didn't let this opportunity go away. The Blazers were obviously unprepared for Li Liang's top-of-the-arc ball.

Li Liang made a precise ground pass, passed the defender, and stuffed it to the basket.

Ci Shiping just passed by, received the ball, turned around and hit the basket directly!

A very simple and clear baseline slip tactic.

Kobe attracted the defense, Gasol covered, Ci Shiping moved, and Li Liang passed the ball.

Score two points and go ahead again!

Li Liang, who sent an assist, did not return to the backcourt, and directly launched a one-on-one press on Lillard in the frontcourt.

Lillard, who played a comfortable ball for most of the half, was really not used to being hit so suddenly.

After he accelerated past halftime, he passed the ball to the teammate who came up to meet him, and then took the ball again to launch an attack.

Li Liang bypassed the screener and at the same time signaled his teammates not to come over to help defend.

He just wants to guard Lillard one-on-one.

Lillard's ball control is very good. It is impossible for Li Liang to force him to be unable to dribble or steal the ball.

After a lot of experience, his basic defense on the perimeter has reached 70 points, and his steals are still 40 points.

It is very effective against the marginal players of Xialian, but it is not so easy to deal with this kind of powerful rookie.

But Li Liang has two advantages, one is height and shape.

He is a bit taller than Lillard, as long as he can keep up, it will definitely interfere with Lillard.

The second is momentum!

Li Liang has unparalleled momentum on the defensive end!

This is the man who has defended Durant, James, Frazier, Oscar Robertson!

Hey, why was it passed...

Lila pulled away, and an accelerated change of direction passed Li Liang!

Li Liang immediately caught up with the foul.

Damn, height has an advantage, but footsteps have a disadvantage!

But even if there is a foul, Lillard cannot easily attack the basket.

Afterwards, Li Liang did not make the same mistake again.

He put all his attention into man-marking Lillard.

In fact, many times, offense depends on talent, and defense depends on attitude.

Even if your defensive quality and skills are average, if you have a good attitude, you can make up half of it.

In the second half of the third quarter, Lillard was entangled very, very uncomfortable.

After all, he is a rookie, playing the NBA regular season for the first time, and his experience is still not enough.

Faced with this kind of targeted defense, once the rhythm is disrupted, the offensive feeling will be lost.

The Blazers began to rely more on Aldridge's post-ups on the offensive end.

This is not good news.

Stotts called two timeouts and rearranged the offense, hoping to untie Lillard.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang insisted that Qingshan would not relax, because even if he fouled, he would not give you an easy chance to score.

Lillard stood on the free throw line and only made one of two free throws, and the rhythm was out of order.

Lillard scored 1 point throughout the third quarter.

And Li Liang hit two three-pointers and sent two assists.

It directly led to the expansion of the Blazers' defense, giving Kobe, Jamison, and Metta World Peace better offensive opportunities.

Such an excellent performance caused Brown to watch and forget to replace Li Liang. He played the entire third quarter.

Between the third and fourth quarters, Brown asked Li Liang if he wanted to rest for a while, Li Liang said: "No, let me fight, I can hold it."

With the task in hand, Li Liang has to play the fourth quarter.

At this time, the score between the two sides came to 91:87, and the Lakers maintained a 4-point lead.

Before playing, Li Liang said to Kobe: "Boss, can you attack well? Don't pass the ball, shoot yourself!"

Kobe glanced at Li Liang, but did not speak.

In the first three quarters, Kobe was controlling his shots, organizing and passing the ball non-stop.

But honestly it didn't work out that well.

Not only did he not have many assists, but he also made 6 turnovers.

Li Liang thought, it would be better to throw a few blind shots instead of making a few blind passes!

If you make a few blind shots and feel better, maybe the lead is more than 4 points.

Faced with Li Liang's doubts, Kobe cursed secretly, pursed his lips, and looked up at the scoreboard.

Is it really not suitable to be an organizer?
