Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

This game is different from previous balloon nights, and different from other game missions.

The night of the balloon is just playing the last section for a period of time. If you find that key point, you can complete the task and change history.

This game needs to reverse the situation from the beginning, and adjust the Lakers' entire style of play and on-court status.

And compared to other mission matches, Li Liang only had one chance.

If he loses this match, all previous efforts will be wasted, that's why he made such adequate preparations.

There was no three-point line in 1977, and the tactics of the two teams were completely centered around the inside and the center.

Needless to say, the Lakers have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the number one offensive center center in history.

The Blazers' starting center is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's younger brother, another UCLA product, Bill Walton.

He is very different from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his style of play. This is an all-around supporting center and one of the best passing centers in NBA history.

The difference in the style of play of the two people leads to the difference in the tactical styles of the two teams.

The Lakers' style of play is relatively simple, centering on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, playing singles inside, and outside players relying on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's attractiveness to attack.

The Lakers have two important outside scorers, one is Lucis Allen and the other is Kaz Russell.

Allen was an old teammate of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar when he won the Bucks championship in 1971. He has a tacit understanding with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and is a stable and good point guard.

However, he was absent from the first two games due to injury and was unable to participate. This is another reason for the Lakers' two-game losing streak at home.

Kaz Russell is also a very powerful player, the No. 1 pick in 1966, a man of the University of Michigan, an All-Star player, and won the 1970 championship with the Knicks.

He is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and strong, playing shooting guard position, has a very accurate mid-range jumper, and good rebounding ability.

But he was 32 years old in 1977, late in his career, and his athletic ability was not as good as before.

Another major reason for the Lakers' loss to the Trail Blazers was that the Lakers' perimeter players couldn't keep up with the young Trail Blazers and were pierced by their air cuts and mid-range jumpers.

The main players of the Lakers are all around 30 years old, and this Portland Trail Blazers, the oldest on the team is only 30 years old, and most of the others are 22 or 23 boys.

The Blazers play differently than the Lakers. They play fluid, fast offensive basketball around Bill Walton.

Blazers coach Ramsey's mantra will always be "Run! Run! Run!"

He let the players run, play fast breaks, play interspersed and run in positional battles, and use Walton's smart passes to fully bring the offense to life.

Therefore, the tasks that Li Liang has to complete are divided into two types.

First, to contain Lucas on the defensive end, no matter what kind of law enforcement or urban management he is, he must not be allowed to score easily.

Lucas shot 77% in the first game, and the Lakers took the lead to play the Trail Blazers.

Second, in addition to dealing with Lucas, it is also necessary to assist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to contain Wharton and prevent the Blazers from playing a smooth offense.

Wharton, the red-haired "white center, is the last glory", Li Liang has carefully studied his passing. High internal passes are his unique skill, so he must be extremely careful.

The game started, and the Blazers took the lead to get the ball and start attacking.

The Lakers' defense was very fierce in the opening game, almost making the Blazers make a mistake.

In the end, the ball was passed to Wharton, and there was not much time. Wharton turned over and made a jumper, but was blocked by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

The UCLA brothers have achieved great success under the leadership of John Wooden.

But in terms of personal ability, Abdul-Jabbar is still a notch higher than Wharton.

Walton also often said that he has been watching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar play and regard him as his role model.

In 1977, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was at his peak, winning his fourth regular-season MVP.

The MVP of that era was selected by the NBA players themselves. Whoever you think is stronger when playing is the most valuable player.

As for whether the influence is great, whether the game is cool or not, whether the statistics are high or not, whether the regular season experience is legendary, etc., are not considered.

These are the things that the media considered in the selection later. In the era of player selection, only strength is considered.

So Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's MVP is the real thing to win over the opponent.

Soon, the Lakers, who had successfully blocked the shot, launched a counterattack. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar rushed to the basket, and after catching the ball, he avoided the defense and made a throw and hit the board!

Abdul-Jabbar's fast play is also his unique skill, but he really doesn't like confrontation.

He could have dunked the ball hard just now, but he chose to dodge it and use his long arms to send the ball into the basket.

The Great Western Forum was very enthusiastic at the beginning, and there were even cheers after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored a goal.

Li Liang ran back and forth, but didn't touch the ball.

But he doesn't want to touch the ball either, his job is to defend.

The Blazers' second attack, this time Walton moved to a high position, Hollins cut inside, Walton immediately passed the ball to Hollins.

Hollins made a layup, but Li Liang made a layup from behind, and a big cap blocked Hollins' ball!

Li Liang had expected this attack a long time ago.

After the block was successful, Li Liang pocketed the ball and passed it to his teammates.

Although Li Liang's shot-blocking level is not high, he has mental arithmetic and unintentional.

At that time, the physical fitness of players was generally a little worse than it is now, and players didn't like dunks, but layups more.

The result is a hat.

The Lakers launched a counterattack, and they played very fast at the beginning.

They were defeated at home in the last game, and they want to play this game as soon as possible.

As a result, Don Chaney missed an outside jumper, Kaz Russell grabbed an offensive rebound and missed an outside jumper.

"Voting, voting, damn it! There is nothing wrong with this Lakers player, he just knows how to make a few blind shots!"

Li Liang grabbed the offensive rebound again under the basket. Instead of laying up, he passed the ball out to let his teammates organize the attack.

The Lakers started the second game with a rush, but they didn't rush down, but let the Blazers stabilize and fight back.

It was the same in the third quarter. After a rush, the Blazers took the lead. As a result, the Blazers, who were stabilized in the fourth quarter, fought back again.

Obviously there is a super stable attacker, so we should make good use of it, right?

Cheney lobbed the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the outside line. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar caught the ball and hit Wharton in a single, turned over and hit a hook.

So steady.

As far as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook, there is really no way to prevent it.

It basically depends on how you feel, unless you try to mess up his rhythm from the beginning.

This is similar to defending against Durant, and the inherent advantages are too obvious.

After the goal, the Lakers started 4:0.

Then, Hollins received the ball and turned around on the right side to force the inside line, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar interfered and missed a layup.

Bill Walton wanted to come up to grab an offensive rebound to make a tip-in, but Li Liang got stuck in front of Walton, allowing Jabbar to pick up the rebound.

Historically, because of the absence of Washington, in this round of the series, Walton and Lucas grabbed offensive rebounds in various ways.

Although the Lakers desperately grab more offensive rebounds, the problem is that most of the Blazers' offensive rebounds are directly converted into points.

And the Lakers' offensive rebounds are grabbed and passed out, but they may not be able to score.

After getting this backcourt rebound, Li Liang deliberately did not serve the ball quickly, but paused for a while before passing it to his teammates.

In this way, the defender will not rush, but will play the position.

The Lakers rushed at the beginning and wasted many opportunities.

Playing position now, the ball will definitely pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hands.

Abdul-Jabbar receives the ball, passes it to his teammate, catches it again, then turns around and hits a hook with his right hand!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 6 points in a row in the opening game, beating the Blazers 6:0.

Blazers head coach Ramsey - called a timeout.

The head coach of the Lakers is Jerry West, and Li Liang met the Logo man again.

This time I saw middle-aged West, but his coaching career was not long, far less brilliant than his player and manager era.

West asked the whole team to participate in the offense during the timeout. To open up, you can't just play Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

West's idea is very good, but the question is do you have the capital for the Lakers?

Li Liang immediately objected, saying: "Why not let Kareem Abdul-Jabbard play more? He is our greatest advantage, and we should make good use of him."

Abdul-Jabbar's offense was unstoppable throughout the series.

But Li Liang believes that the Lakers still use less of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is attacking with the ball, his shooting percentage can reach 60% or even higher.

With such a high efficiency, he should be given more shots to get higher output.

In the 1970s when there was no three-point line, this was the most efficient way to score.

At that time, all coaches were pursuing "team basketball" and "beautiful collective offense", and they didn't care about mathematics and economic words such as "efficiency".

West heard Li Liang-Washington's words and said: "We should play more tactics."

Li Liangdao: "It's not a tactic to let the best players of your team play more?"

Li Liang thought, don't you also get O'Neal later, let O'Neal play more, let Kobe play more, then you can win the championship.

If it is an ordinary team, it should really play more tactics.

But with a superstar like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, his existence itself is a tactic, a particularly efficient and labor-saving tactic.

Other tactics require the whole team to run together, which consumes energy.

With Kareem's tactic, one can play four, and the other four can use their physical strength in other places, such as defense, rebounding, and stealing chickens, to assist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Why is such a good tactic not used?

For a moment, Jerry West felt unable to refute.

At this point the timeout is over and the game restarts.

Li Liang returned to the court with his teammates. He stepped forward and said to Abdul-Jabbar: "Kareem, shoot if you have a chance, don't save face for me. If you don't make a shot, I will help you rebound and continue to give You pass the ball. You don’t have to worry about defensive matters, Lucas will take care of it for me. If Walton wants to mess with you, it’s okay, I’m here too, call at any time, and punch every minute... No, every minute will come up to help you defend .”

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at Li Liang-Washington and nodded. He felt that Washington was a little different tonight.
