Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

(The previous chapter number was wrong)

The game continued according to Li Liang's idea.

As for why the head coach West listened to Li Liang, I don't know, maybe the system is set like this.

After a period of training in missions and real games, Li Liang has never been very good at playing inside, and now he is used to fighting hand-to-hand with opponents inside.

In fact, the Trail Blazers' style of play is still very clean. Most of the team is young. Although the "enforcer" Maurice Lucas plays tough, he is not dirty.

This is a young, vibrant team, a breath of fresh air from the dark days of the NBA in the 1970s.

So they triggered the "Blazers Mania" in 1977 and left a strong mark.

If Li Liang wants to help the Lakers beat this team, he must fully understand their strengths and weaknesses.

However, after repeatedly watching the video and reviewing the data, Li Liang found that the Blazer was very balanced, attacking and defending, and could not find any obvious weaknesses.

If it weren't for Bill Walton's injury, they would have every chance to dominate in 1978 and 1979 and win three consecutive championships.

So after thinking about it seriously, and asking Mike Brown and others for advice, Li Liang believes that the best way to defeat the Trail Blazers is to rely on talent and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Just like the 76ers in the first two games of the 1977 Finals, the 76ers are a truly luxurious team, Irving, Dawkins, McGinnis, Bibby, Ward Fury, they are known as the "Philadelphia Show Troupe" , Everywhere I go is not for competitions, but for performances.

Relying on their excellent talent, the 76ers beat the Blazers dizzily, and being reversed later is another story.

If the Lakers want to refuse to sweep, at least they must make full use of Kareem's advantage and maximize his advantage.

After returning to the court after the timeout, the entire Lakers team began to play for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The point guard slowed down his offensive speed, no longer fought against the Blazers for a quick counterattack, and tried to play as much as possible to let the ball pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hands.

Li Liang is also not idle on the offensive end. He is not the Washington of that era, he can shoot long shots.

Although the lack of a three-point line greatly weakened Li Liang's power, the Blazers had to strengthen their defense against Li Liang after hitting consecutive mid-range shots that received Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's pass.

This gives Kareem Abdul-Jabbar more room to attack.

In the first quarter, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar turned the tide inside and scored consecutively on Wharton's head.

Junior brother, it’s okay for senior brother to educate you.

Needless to say on the defensive end, Li Liang used all of his eighteen skills, just keeping an eye on Lucas.

If Wharton holds the ball, Li Liang will also step forward to double-team in due course.

In fact, Li Liang felt that he should let himself defend Wharton, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should take it easy to face Lucas.

Let Kareem concentrate on offense, that's fine.

But Li Liang has no confidence in defending against Wharton. He is too tall and his arms are too long, and his jumper or hook with straight arms can make Li Liang doubt his life.

Only the taller, longer-armed Abdul-Jabbar can handle Wharton.

The Lakers took a lead of more than 10 points in the first quarter.

Li Liang's defensive and offensive strategies were advanced. At that time, there were still relatively few offensive and defensive routines in the NBA. The defense was mainly single defense, with a small amount of double-teaming.

The precise timing of double-teaming like Li Liang didn't start until the defensive leap forward in the 1990s.

Wharton played very hard, he couldn't defend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and he was always disturbed offensively, so he couldn't play his all-round advantage.

In the second quarter, the two sides entered a stalemate. West wanted to replace Li Liang to rest for a while, but Li Liang refused again.

rest? Take a break, if the score is reversed after a short break, it will be for nothing if you lose in the end.

The tasks in this book cannot be failed.

In the second quarter, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar rested for a while, and Li Liang still supported the ball.

In that era, there were relatively few pick-and-rolls in the offense, and the tactics were mainly pass and cut except for the low post.

Every player has a certain back-up ability and air cutting ability, just like the current three-pointer and defense.

Kermit Washington used to be a pure blue-collar. He didn't know how to support him, and he didn't have more than one assist per game.

It's different with Li Liang-Washington, who can give the ball to the inside in the high post.

Although his ground pass and high lob are not exquisite, there is no way to pass the ball with a slight chance like Nash and Walton.

But as long as his teammates run out tactically, he can still pass the ball without making mistakes.

And he also has a mid-range shot, which is beyond the sky.

The Blazers players did not dare to shrink, and the Lakers' offense suddenly became flexible in the transition period.

This was something that neither West nor Ramsey expected. Li Liang was very focused on the court, and he played this game as a NCAA match.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang sent out two assists to help the Lakers extend their lead to 15 points.

In the second half, in the third quarter, the Lakers had a bigger advantage.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fully played the feeling, unstoppable inside, and kept scoring goals.

The maximum point difference was stretched to 20 points. In the era without three-pointers, 20 points was almost an insurmountable point difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Blazers by 18 points.

Li Liang felt that the game should be stable and could be won. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he sat on the bench to rest for a while.

Use up the time in this section, and everything will be fine.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Li Liang thought, and the situation changed suddenly in the fourth quarter.

The Blazers' offense suddenly became smoother, and Walton continuously assisted his teammates on the court.

Hollins hit a series of jumpers from the outside line, all of which were face-to-face dry pulls, but he could make it.

In 1980, Hollins played against Li Liang in the 76ers. At that time, Li Liang was still Maravich.

On the Lakers side, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made three quarters, but began to miss in the fourth quarter.

He played too much in the front, his physical fitness began to decline, and he was defended by Wharton and missed three shots.

And the other players didn't feel open tonight, and no one can stand up.

In more than 3 minutes, the Blazers beat the Lakers 11:0, narrowing the point difference to only 7 points.

Now Li Liang is a little anxious, why does he feel that he is about to be overthrown?

West immediately called a timeout, Kareem looked a little tired, and he took too many shots.

At this time, someone needs to stand up and share Kareem's pressure.

Of course Li Liang will stand up, but can his attacking ability with the ball help?

There are no three-pointers in this era, which is really fatal.

Three points and two points, don't look at the difference of one point, the difference is huge.

Just like the third watch and the second watch, the experience is completely different.

Li Liang's mind was spinning quickly, wondering if his strategy was wrong, shouldn't I interfere with West's formation?

In this game in history, the Blazers reversed in the fourth quarter and finally won by two points.

Li Liang believes that if the points difference in the first three quarters is widened, the Blazers will not be able to reverse in the fourth quarter.

I don't know if they lead by 18 points, it still doesn't work, the Blazers can still reverse.

There are more than 8 minutes before the end of the game, there is still a lot of time, what should I do?

Go up and take an outside shot by yourself?

No, Li Liang knew that the core of the mission was not offense, but defense.

If you have difficulty doing the question, re-read the question. The title is "The Broom Star of the Portland Red Jellyfish", which is about Bill Wharton.

Since the title of the mission is him, how can Li Liang be afraid to confront him?

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is good at blocking shots, he doesn't like the defensive method of physical confrontation, and he is not good at stopping Walton's pass.

Wharton has found the rhythm of the game, Li Liang must face up personally and guard against him!

It was useless to escape, Li Liang took the initiative to apply to West, and he wanted to face Bill Wharton.

West nodded in agreement. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had to attack on the offensive end, and Wharton had to pull him out on the defensive end, which was too much for him.

Li Liang stepped onto the court, and the Trail Blazers players also came back.

Standing next to Wharton, you will feel that this is really a body born for playing basketball.

Tall, broad, and flexible, Walton is noticeably taller than some of the current NBA centers claiming to be 6-foot-11, although his registered height is 6-foot-11.

At that time, NBA players rarely falsely reported their heights, as much as they should.

Walton doesn't look strong. Centers in that era were generally taller. After all, the level of nutrition and strength training is not as good as it is now.

Only a big animal like Chamberlain can get himself to 300 pounds, like a high school student playing in a kindergarten league.

Although the muscles are not obvious, Wharton has a wide frame, a lot of strength, and a very stable lower plate.

Although he is taciturn and eccentric off the court, he is full of extreme enthusiasm on the court.

As soon as he arrives on the court, he puts his heart and soul into the game. From his face, you will not find frustration and tension, only concentration.

Li Liang must also concentrate, he only has this one chance to defend this big broom star from Portland.

If you want to sweep the Lakers, just sweep over me!
