Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

After Li Liang came on the field, the Lakers' defense immediately changed.

Kobe is very good at playing against a fast-impact point guard like Mo. Once he gets entangled in defense, it will be a headache for everyone.

Li Liang, on the other hand, defended Hayward in a predictive manner, pinching his position and predicting his actions in advance.

This is what he learned from Fraser, to judge in advance, and it will be too late when the opponent acts.

The Jazz were obviously not used to it. The two outside ball-holding points were suddenly pinched, and the Lakers defended the Jazz for 24 seconds!

"Nice job!" After the successful defense, Li Liang roared.

When playing away games, you must be more passionate than the away fans in order to overwhelm your opponents in momentum.

And the gap of 6 points, what is it, two three-point problems.

When it came time to attack, Li Liang received a pass from Kobe on the outside and made a direct shot at a 45-degree angle!

"Bang!" Hit the iron and miss.

The shot was a bit rushed, and it didn't feel good. It's all Kobe's fault. He passed it on to me through the ball.

Kobe wanted to know what Li Liang was thinking, and it would be strange if he didn't go up and beat him to death.

If you can't make a shot, blame me for passing the ball to you?

Looking back, the Lakers were chased by the Jazz again.

The Jazz inside has been replaced by Favors from Millsap.

As soon as he came on the court, he caught the ball inside, turned around with his feet, and successfully dunked with one hand under the basket!

This is the second such ball in the game. Howard and Gasol are two people in the interior. There are always problems with defensive communication.

There is nothing Li Liang can do to help with this ball. He can't go inside and fly in to make up for it, right?

The gap came to 8 points, and Kobe finally got a little angry.

What are you playing? What can I prevent?

Although it is normal for the players to fluctuate during the season, but the last game was a big victory, this game has faint signs of a big defeat.

On the offensive end, Kobe immediately hit the backboard with a strong high inside and stopped the bleeding for the Lakers.

On the Jazz's side, seeing the communication problems of the Lakers' interior defense, they immediately suspended Jefferson and replaced them with the Turkish boy Kanter.

Mike Brown took Gasol, who was in mediocre form tonight, and replaced him with Jordan Hill.

The two sides began to enter the rotation, but Brown did not dare to take Kobe down, otherwise the first quarter might not last.

The Jazz used Favors to force Jordan Hill, causing Hill to foul and go to the free throw line.

Two free throws were made, 19:11, the Jazz still lead.

Li Liang only hated that he didn't practice his inside defense well, and he couldn't help the inside defense.

It doesn't matter, let's look back on the offensive end.

Three-pointers are currently the only reliable offensive method for Li Liang, but he is not only good at three-pointers, he can also run empty-handed!

Coach Bob Knight's course, not only a hair dryer, but also empty-handed running skills brought by 15 class hours.

When Kobe is on the court, the Lakers will always have a lot of open opportunities.

Kobe took the ball to the inside, the Jazz were double-teamed, Kobe was forced to the bottom, a difficult bottom pass!

Li Liang happened to be in that position. He caught the ball and swayed away the players who rushed up to defend him. He took a step forward and hit a two-pointer from the corner.

The Lakers' outside line can finally hit the shot, which is very important, otherwise the Jazz will keep shrinking.

At this time, Kobe had already put the 20-point bet behind him, and Li Liang could pass the ball to him if he scored a goal.

Immediately, Li Liang made another contribution on the defensive end. He drew an offensive foul on Hayward.

The task of making an offensive foul every game is completed!

Li Liang got up from the ground and applauded Hayward, and the fans booed.

Hayward's performance in the first half of the first quarter was wonderful, with 2 steals and 1 block, 4 points and 1 assist, both offensive and defensive.

But Li Liang started targeting him as soon as he came on stage, who made you threaten my handsomeness?

This is not over yet, Kobe continues to attack with the ball, the Jazz is still shrinking, three people double-team, Kobe jumps again to make a difficult pass.

It's still for Li Liang on the outside!

Li Liang jumped up to catch the ball, damn it, you can't make a good pass!

Still Nash's pass is comfortable.

After landing, Li Liang adjusted slightly, glanced at the basket, and shot a three-pointer!

"Bang!" Missed, the ball was not adjusted well.

But the ball directly crashed out, crashed far away, and flew back into Li Liang's hands.

Do you still vote?

He stopped shooting and felt bad in the first half. Watching the opponent come back to defend, Li Liang suddenly made a precise ground pass and sent the ball into the three-second zone.

Howard catches the ball, walks the baseline to push Kanter away, and misses a layup!

But it caused Kanter's foul.

It's a pity that this ball, if it is the peak of Warcraft, it will be able to dunk Kanter at once.

Now he can only make one foul.

What about getting to the free throw line, and you can't make a free throw!

Another two free throws were made, 19:14, at least one point was recovered.

The Jazz's defense is indeed brave, and it is far from comparable to the Pistons' half-death and giving up treatment in the last game.

Coupled with the high-decibel bonus of the fans at the scene, the morale and hardness of the defense will automatically increase by 20%, while the opponent will be softened by 20%.

Even Li Liang, who has always been tough, missed two three-pointers tonight.

But he knew that he would always enter, he was only temporarily infected, and he would be fine after a while.

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt on the last attack of the Lakers, and was surrounded by three people again.

Throwing the pot into Li Liang's hands, Li Liang stood two meters away from the three-point line, no matter what, throw it away!

Can the pot thrown by the boss not be thrown away?

As a result, the ball went in with a "shua"!

Li Liang finally hit the first three-pointer, chasing the score to 17:20, 3 points behind.

By the way, he gave Kobe an assist.

In the first quarter, Kobe played a full game, and the team scored 17 points, and the shooting percentage was terribly low.

Fortunately, Li Liang not only contributed 5 points, but also stopped the bleeding on the defensive end.

However, the Lakers' internal problems still have not been resolved. The twin towers of Gasol and Howard on the court have a big problem with defensive communication.

In the past, the Lakers' top three were Gasol, Bynum and Odom. At critical moments, both Gasol and Odom were present.

Because in this era where the perimeter is getting stronger and the three-pointer is getting sharper, the Twin Towers will have many problems on the defensive end.

If you want to play the Twin Towers, you must either have a versatile small forward to cover the leak, or you must burst back on the offensive end.

Li Liang can only be considered half-qualified, because he hasn't practiced inside defense yet, so he can't help him in many cases.

As for the offense, in the past, Bynum Gasol could penetrate the opponent's inside line.

Now, Howard's low-post offensive efficiency at the basket this season may not be better than Bynum, and Gasol has really declined.

In the second quarter, the Jazz still adhered to the strategy of the first quarter.

In the first four games, Jazz head coach Dillon Corbin analyzed the Lakers video and believed that the Lakers' inside line seemed to be strong, but they actually had loopholes.

The Lakers' outside line seems to be aging, but because of the No. 28 Bruce Lee, they are surprisingly strong.

Both the Trail Blazers and the Clippers lost due to the negligence of No. 28 Bruce Lee. If they insist on attacking the Lakers inside, it may have a miraculous effect.

Sure enough, tonight, Howard and Gasol were double-teamed and rebounded by the Jazz on both offense and defense. The cooperation was a disaster.

In the second quarter, Gasol and Jamison played inside, and were beaten by Kanter and Favors.

Kanter, the thick-eyed Turk, just catches the ball at the basket and then makes a strong move, while Favors keeps rushing to the offensive rebound.

This style of play made Gasol and Jamison extremely uncomfortable, and Mike Brown had to replace Howard in advance.

But Howard didn't work. He first beat Kanter on the offensive end and missed. When he was still complaining to the referee about the foul, Kanter was about to go down.

After catching the ball at the basket, he made a small jump, used the time difference to avoid Ci Shiping who was rushing up, and then succeeded in dunking with one hand at the basket!

This ball detonated the energy plan players, and the Lakers' basket became a back garden where they could get anything they wanted.

Li Liang was furious. He stepped forward and said directly to Howard: "Why don't you return to defense? What's the use of complaining about fouls? Come back to defense!"

Howard had already lost all smiles, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

He played too badly tonight. He was either blocked or cut off on the offensive end, and he couldn't make free throws.

Mike Brown called a timeout and played 3 minutes in the second quarter. The Lakers trailed the Jazz by 9 points at 21:30.

In the second quarter, they only scored 4 points. Kobe sat and rested off the court, and the Lakers, who had no main attack point on the court, became more and more weak in offense.

The impact of Nash's absence has begun to become prominent. With Nash, at least there will be no problems with the offensive organization.

In this game, Li Liang's open three-point opportunities were also reduced. First, the Jazz's defense was tight, and second, without Nash, his style of play was targeted again, which was uncomfortable.

"Defense! We still have to start with defense. We must protect the inside rebounds. We gave them too many second-attack opportunities, and there are too many opportunities to sneak into the three-second zone. There are too many. Protect us Under the basket, this is our life zone!"

Brown yelled loudly on the bench. The scene was really too noisy and needed to be silenced.

Bryant only rested for five minutes and re-appeared, and the Lakers still cannot do without him.

As soon as he came on the court, he hit a three-pointer from the outside, the first three-pointer of the game.

Then, Li Liang and Kobe surrounded and double-teamed Hayward from the outside. Kobe quickly counterattacked with the ball and succeeded in a light pick.

After scoring 5 points in a row, the scene finally became quieter.

But the Jazz immediately responded from the outside line. Randy Foye hit a three-pointer, and the Jazz played more and more.

Their inside rush was too strong, and the Lakers players had to retract, which gave the Jazz outside opportunities.

On the defensive end, the Jazz began to pinch Kobe. After Li Liang and Kobe picked and rolled, they pinched Kobe, pushed him directly to the baseline, and fouled.

In Salt Lake City, Li Liang finally experienced what a high-intensity, brutal basketball confrontation is.

But the more this happened, the more calm Li Liang's mind became, 26:33, a gap of 7 points.

Kobe sent the ball from the sideline, and Li Liang came to meet him. He got the ball from beyond the three-point line and gave Kobe a cover by the way.

Kobe walked in, and the attention of the Jazz players was attracted by Kobe. Li Liang stood two steps away from the three-point line, and there was no one in front of him.

I am Gan Liliang, look down on me?

Li Liang is directly outside the three-point line, and he will send you a three-pointer with a knife in his hand!

A goal like a cannonball went in through the basket without touching the basket.

All of a sudden, the sound of the scene was lowered by 10 decibels, and Li Liang's touch finally returned slowly.

The Jazz players also realized that this rookie's three-pointer is really a bit scary.

29:33, 4 points.

The Jazz missed the offensive end, the Lakers counterattacked, and Li Liang got the ball at the top of the arc again.

This time the opponent didn't dare to let go, and the opponent was Marvin Williams.

Li Liang didn't have the ability to attack with the ball, so he passed the ball to Howard in the low post.

Howard succeeded in beating Kanter and easily scored two points. After the space was opened, Howard could finally play singles with peace of mind.

Howard was also adjusting his mentality. He felt a little clearer after being scolded by Li Liang just now.

The situation was stabilized at once.

But the momentum of the game was still on the Jazz's side. Randy Foye fouled Kobe in the offense and made two free throws.

So far, the Lakers have not been able to solve the problem of cutting inside.

The Jazz are a team that is very good at cutting, better than the Mavericks and Trail Blazers.

Li Liang's sharp supplementary defense and assist defense were partly restrained by Hayward, and the Jazz's ferocious physical confrontation inside, constantly opening the way for the outside line, made Li Liang very uncomfortable.

In the second quarter, the Jazz's substitute led 18:8 by 10 points, and the Lakers' 8 points from the bench all came from Li Liang!

Jamison and Jordan Hill didn't contribute a single point.

At halftime, 47:42, the two sides played a very low score, and the Lakers trailed by 5 points.

In the poor state of the opening game, relying on Kobe's offensive performance, Li Liang's two three-pointers, and Ci Shiping's singles, the Lakers survived abruptly.

They didn't lose themselves in the frenetic noise of Salt Lake City.

After the halftime break, in the player tunnel, Li Liang did not forget to communicate with the fans on both sides of the tunnel.

His performance in the first half was actually pretty good. As a second-round rookie, he was super-level, but he himself was not satisfied.

The team is obviously in trouble, but how can he help more as a substitute?

In the first four games, he helped the team with three-pointers and defense, which are his strengths.

But in this game, the problem lies in the interior. The Lakers' interior was washed to death, and there is a limit to what he can do.

Mike Brown also looked sad, and in the locker room he emphasized the emphasis on defense.

The whole team is required to strengthen the protection of backcourt rebounds, but this will inevitably lead to relaxation of perimeter defense and loss of quick counterattacks.

Anyway, the Lakers can't fight back quickly, so if they lose it, they lose it.

Li Liang sat there thinking, thinking back to the tasks he did in the system that night, learning from the blue-collar heroes.

What would he do, he thought, if it was De Buschel? How will you help the team?

In that game, the situation of the Lakers was very similar to now. The super center was a bit depressed, and the stars on the outside were in transition.

The Knicks used tough defense to disrupt the Lakers' offensive system and plunge the game into chaos. The Jazz also used this routine.

Li Liang recalled his own performance during the game, and slowly got a clue.

We still have to start with defense. At the same time, we can no longer just shoot three-pointers on the offensive end. We must help Kobe, Gasol, and Howard to connect the team's offense.

It's not enough to have one or two smart touchdown passes, you must really participate in the organization and transfer of the ball to bring the offense to life.

But Li Liang is a rookie and has only played four games. Can he be good looking?
