Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Brown's idea is still very correct, Kobe does need rest more than before.

He is 34 years old this year.

At age 31, he could hold Westbrook down for a full quarter in the playoffs.

This season, he did not know how much saliva he received from Li Liang because of his defensive loss.

On the day of the game, the entire Lakers team arrived at the Chesapeake Center Arena, home of the Thunder.

On the way to the locker room, Li Liang, Nash, and Kobe walked side by side.

Starting from the car, they discussed the issue of perimeter defense all the way.

Veterans like Kobe and Nash have played so many games, what is there to discuss in a regular season?

If you don't listen to the coach's arrangement, you will win.

But Li Liang didn't think so. Mike Brown just played a few tricks, or just played inside?

The Thunder kept Perkins just to deal with the Lakers inside.

What about perimeter defense? How to solve this point for Westbrook?

As someone who paid too much for this team, Li Liang took the initiative to "talk to Kobe and Nash."

Anyway, when he turns on the hair dryer, his teammates will listen to his good and bad words.

As they talked, Kobe and Nash felt that what Li Liang said was very reasonable. Perimeter defense was a problem, and the offensive strategy was too rigid.

Although the Lakers had more wins and fewer losses in the front, they dug holes at the beginning several times and then filled them in later.

Once or twice is okay, the more times, the more difficult it is to play the game.

If Li Liang was in the 3rd position, he would still be able to help defend from the outside. Now that Li Liang is in the 4th position, he has to take care of both inside and outside, and the pressure will be great.

"Steve should be allowed to attack more. It's not enough for Kobe to have only one firepower in the back line. The defense can't keep up, and the offense doesn't put pressure on the opponent. Isn't it just letting the opponent play casually? I don't think physical strength is a problem. It can make Du Hong Share more. Anyway, I just think that we need to increase the shots from the back line... I’m not talking about you, boss, I’m talking about Nash.”

At the door of the locker room, Li Liang was still expressing his opinions and opinions.

He feels that if there is no way to make up for the defensive loopholes in the back line, then simply don't make up for it.

Isn't it over when the offensive end is found?

After Nash returned from injury, his performance has been mediocre.

There are only a few bright moments in each game, giving Howard a lob, hitting a pass, and occasionally making two mid-range and three-pointers.

It is basically impossible to rely on him to support a team's half-court offense, and it is a waste to let him be a spot-up shooter.

Therefore, Nash's overall role is a bit tasteless, and Brown is also afraid of his injury, basically more than 20 minutes per game.

If the Lakers have a reliable point guard on the bench, it's okay to split the time with Nash.

But Blake was injured, and his poor state at the beginning of the season made him lose the trust of Mike Brown.

Duhon and Morris are left, basically the worst point guard backup in the league.

Instead of finding ways to contain the opponent, it is better to turn passive into active, play out the offense, and let the Thunder follow the rhythm of the Lakers

Nash and Kobe felt that what Li Liang said made sense.

The so-called three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang.

Now there are three Zhuge Liang, can you be smarter than you Mike Brown?

However, Kobe, Nash, and Li Liang were different. Li Liang sprayed Brown directly on what he thought.

The two of them are still human beings and know to save Brown some face.

Therefore, the three of them quietly discussed outside the locker room how to play tactics after the opening.

Originally, Brown's offensive tactics were relatively open. Apart from asking Howard to feed more balls, there was no specific routine for players to run.

Play freely, use your rich court experience to defeat your opponents.

As for me... I will cheer you on, just call a timeout.

The three of them had almost discussed and discussed before entering the locker room to change.

As soon as Li Liang opened his luggage, everyone frowned.

"What is it, Bruce?"

"Did the fruit you put in the bag rot?"

"Are you keeping skunks?"

Then everyone saw that Li Liang took out a pair of socks from the luggage bag.

It turned out to be the smell of a pair of socks!

"Hey, Bruce, it's time for you to change a pair of socks. What's the matter with you? Didn't you wash them?" Kobe couldn't help asking, the smell was really pungent to the eyes.

Li Liang smiled and said, "This is my lucky sock. I must wear it to perform well. Don't worry, just put on the shoes."

Li Liang quickly changed into this pair of socks and put on Durant Five, the smell disappeared.

Li Liang himself was greatly relieved. Damn, is this a bit smelly? My brain hurts!

This pair of socks, which can reduce the probability of ankle sprains, was just washed by Li Liang yesterday, dried and put into a luggage bag.

A few days ago, there was a faint smell. After playing a few games, it became more and more smelly.

If it continues to stink like this, in the future, if you can't beat the game, you can just take off your shoes, and you can make your opponent so stinky that they can't find the basket.

But if he did this, the referee would call two technical fouls in a row and punish Li Liang.

...

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Chesapeake Center, the Lakers and the Thunder are about to start this battle.

Following the Spurs, Grizzlies, and Pacers, another tough battle for the Lakers.

The fans in Oklahoma are not the same as in Houston. The Thunder are the darling here, and the audience arrives at the stadium early to cheer for the home team.

Although Oklahoma is a small city, small cities have their difficulties, such as difficulty in attracting big-name players, insufficient team salary budget, and so on.

But small cities also have their advantages, that is, the fans are enthusiastic and the football market is hot.

The Thunder are the only professional team in the Big Four in Oklahoma.

It can be said that there are thousands of favorites in the local area, and with popular young stars like Durant and Westbrook, it is natural for the fans to be enthusiastic.

For this kind of enthusiastic, hot, and crazy away game in a small city, Li Liang wants to say, come a little more!

This kind of game is the best time for him to collect anger points.

The one who sang the national anthem for the audience tonight was a fat black singer from Oklahoma, with a beard on his face.

I don't know if his appearance will make Thunder fans miss him a bit.

From beginning to end, Kobe was serious.

Before the start of the game, he stepped onto the technical stage and sprinkled some chalk on his hands.

He is not like Garnett who likes to choke people with chalk, nor is he like James who has nothing to do with the emperor.

Seven months ago, it was on this field that Kobe scored 40 points and the team was eliminated.

Kobe has tried his best. Under the Thunder's high-intensity defense and the long arms of their forward players, he hit the inside again and again, making difficult shots.

The team still inevitably loses, and it is a fragile defeat.

Opposite them were three talented young men, and the once mighty Lakers looked like an old zombie in front of them.

Two years ago, in the season when the Lakers completed their two consecutive championships, the Lakers and Kobe could still teach this bunch of stunned youngsters a lesson.

In just two years, the son beat Lao Tzu, and the Lakers were pinned to the ground and rubbed against each other.

Of course Kobe couldn't swallow this tone.

The two sides stand on the court and the game is about to begin.

The Lakers started with a four-star shot. Li Liang stood on the field with his hips akimbo, with the posture of "I am the core".

The Thunder's starting lineup is the same as last season, Perkins, Ibaka, Durant, Sefolosha, Westbrook.

It's just that the fat man is gone on the bench, and it has become Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb.

Li Liang glanced at the Thunder team, thinking that each of them looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, a contractor, a poker-faced thug, and an African gigolo.

That is to say, Sefolosha looks more upright. If you fight based on your appearance, I will beat you to a team alone, and you don't need Kobe and Nash to show your face.

Opening Ibaka and Howard jump ball.

Warcraft used to be someone who could kiss the rim, but Ibaka can also jump well, and he is younger.

The ball was first dialed by Ibaka, the ball flew into the hands of Perkins, and the Thunder had the ball.

The game begins.

It's really a completely different place here than at home in Houston.

Just after Westbrook took the ball for halftime, the audience chanted "OKC".

The sound was higher and higher, giving the impression that the final attack was about to be launched.

Ibaka made a screen for Westbrook at the top of the arc, and Westbrook killed it directly from the middle with his left hand!

Li Liang reacted very quickly and immediately switched defenses to stick to him, but Westbrook's explosive power is really strong.

Inside Howard came to defend, Westbrook hit the ground and passed to Perkins who was emptied.

Perkins didn't catch the ball securely, and was knocked out by Howard's reaching out.

The ball goes out of bounds, the Thunder's possession.

It can be seen that the Lakers players are very focused tonight.

Facing an average team, these old guys might relax a bit.

A strong team like the Thunder, the biggest competitor in the Western Conference, will go all out from the first second.

The shouts of OKC on the scene still haven't stopped, and it seems that the Thunder fans will shout all night.

Compared with the compactness of the Lakers, the Thunder is a bit loose.

Serving the sideline ball, Westbrook and Durant did not have the chance to catch the ball for two consecutive high screens.

Sefolosha throws the ball to Ibaka, Ibaka misses the ball, the pass is too big.

Can Li Liang, who is facing off against Ibaka, let this opportunity go?

He rushed forward with a stride and reached out to touch the ball.

Ibaka put his arms around Li Liang before protecting the ball.

Li Liang turned his head and sprayed at the referee: "Foul, you can't see it? Foul!"

The referee didn't blow the whistle. It was just the beginning, and it wasn't time for him to play.

Ibaka handed the ball to Westbrook and missed two turnovers, leaving the Thunder running out of time to attack.

Westbrook received the ball with less than 5 seconds left to play.

Against Nash, he directly charged forward with the ball, and then made a three-pointer from outside the left 3-point line!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, play hard!

Although his shooting posture is relatively stiff and disjointed, his touch is quite accurate.

He scored 43 points in the fourth game of this year's finals, relying on his consecutive zombie pull-up jumpers, almost riding the savior alone.

The ball hit the center of the basket with a "swish", and the Thunder relied on their personal ability to score the first point in the case of two unfavorable passes.

This is the strength of the Thunder. When tactics don't work, they don't need tactics, just let the players play by themselves.

From this point of view, the Lakers are not making too much difference, and we are seniors, okay?

Nash dribbled the ball for half court and handed the ball to Kobe first. Immediately, two Thunder players came over and double-teamed.

Kobe calmly distributed the ball to Howard in the high position to make a transition. When Perkins left, Howard passed the ball back to Kobe.

Howard sank to the inside, and Li Liang stepped up to cover Kobe at this time.

The Thunder's defensive reaction mechanism is very sensitive. Before the pick-and-roll started, two people have already pushed towards Kobe.

Nima, are you looking down on me, Gan Liliang?

Kobe and Li Liang made a false screen, and Li Liang suddenly turned over and cut to the basket.

Kobe threw the ball high, Li Liang didn't dribble after receiving the ball, he took off directly, and made a layup with his right hand!

Perkins on the other side wanted to come over to block the shot, but it was too late.

Perkins didn't stand firmly on the ground and almost fell a big somersault. I, Li Liang, are so easy to cover?

The ball was discussed by the three before the game, knowing that the Thunder's defensive attention must be on Kobe and Howard.

So, he took advantage of Li Liang's point to open up the situation.

Some time ago, each team came up with a way to find someone to exchange with Li Liang and keep a close eye on Li Liang.

It worked when he was on the bench.

The Lakers play Li Liang, and I can also play a tactical point here.

But Gasol was injured and Li Liang started, the situation was different.

It is impossible for the Thunder to let Durant do the exchange, it is a waste of energy.

Not to mention Ibaka, if he keeps staring at Li Liang, all the insiders will be emptied.

He and Perkins have a stance and a defense, and they must be matched.

As a result, this trick Popovich came up with was instantly cracked.

Hey, Mike Brown is really a wizard, did nothing, hurt a person, broke a play.

Both sides scored the first attack.

Subsequently, Durant received the ball in the low post and hit Li Liang one-on-one.

The task of defending Durant tonight is undoubtedly placed on Li Liang, and let Ci Shiping defend Ibaka.

Of the Thunder's two insiders, one does not attack and the other cannot attack with the ball, so the defensive pressure is not that great.

The focus of defense is still on the perimeter.

Durant made a tentative step, and finally chose a golden rooster independent fallback.

Missed, Nash grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

Li Liang immediately got off quickly and ran to the bottom corner on the left.

Nash passes the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang catches the ball and wants to shoot.

Durant chased after him and jumped up!

Just kidding, feint.

Durant flew straight out of the baseline.

Li Liang adjusted his dribble and made a three-pointer from the left corner!

Hit! Opening with five points in a row!

Li Liang made a three-point gesture towards Nash.

This is the style of play in the Suns back then, a V-shaped attack, and a seven-second shot.

The Lakers played very energetically at the beginning, and both goals were scored by Li Liang.

Mike Brown sat firmly on the Diaoyutai off the court, but he was actually a little confused in his mind-did I arrange the opening tactics like this? It doesn't seem to be... It doesn't matter, they all scored goals, so what else.

The shouts of OKC on the scene finally stopped.

But the Thunder's counterattack came quickly, and it was Westbrook again.

Sefolosha made a cross screen with Westbrook after dribbling for half court.

Immediately passed the ball to Westbrook, this time he changed a position, outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, caught and threw the ball!

Westbrook didn't hesitate, and Nash had nothing to do with him.

"Shua!" Come on!

The Turtle made two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game. Obviously, he is also very excited tonight and is in good shape.

After that, Ci Shiping missed a three-pointer, and Ibaka missed a mid-range jumper.

Howard got the rebound, and the two sides played very fast in the first three rounds.

Nash needs to hold the ball a little more steadily...I'll be steady, I'll be steady!

Howard blocked Westbrook at the top of the arc, Perkins failed to defend, Nash had a chance at the top of the arc, and shot directly by himself!

The front three-pointer has the farthest distance, but the most accurate shot!

Come in too!

Nash soared into a three-pointer, and the Lakers were in excellent form outside tonight.

Mike Brown pushed his glasses, which I credit for organizing the shootaround.

After the goal, Kobe and Nash high-fived, two old guys, and a talented young man, finally felt a little excited for a long time.

The Thunder fought back, and they ran a UCLA Cut play.

Durant made a false cut and took the Lakers' defense inside, while Sefolosha ambushed in the right corner.

As soon as the Lakers shrink, Ibaka blocks again, and Sefolosha is empty.

Westbrook passed a diagonal pass to Sefolosha, and the Swiss caught the ball and made a three-pointer from the corner, which was also hit!

The offensive state of both sides was very good at the beginning of the game, and they have already made five three-pointers.

8:9, the Thunder still leads by 1 point.

At this time, Kobe couldn't bear it anymore.

Without any tactical cooperation, he received the ball outside the left three-point line, and against Sefolosha, he took a tentative step with the ball.

With almost no preparations, he made a three-pointer.

The ball stabs to the basket like a sword, hit!

"Oh~" can be heard throughout the arena.

The three Zhuge Liang on the outside line, three three-pointers, and the guy on the opposite side hit the bar.

Mike - Brown is still thinking, what tactics did I arrange? The effect is very good.
