Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

"Defense! We need to contain LeBron James! He scored too many points in the third quarter! Pin him! Pin him!"

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Mike Brown asked the players to keep James on the bench.

His explosion in the third quarter caught the Lakers by surprise.

Fortunately, the Lakers did not collapse. Whether it was defense or offense, they held on tenaciously.

If you can't stand it, it's the same situation as the Celtics last year. They were beaten so badly that they couldn't play basketball.

However, the gap of nine points is still very large.

Facing a defensive team like the Heat, a point difference of more than 5 points is more difficult to chase.

The Heat's defense is highly targeted, and generally they will not allow their opponents to succeed in consecutive attacks.

The Lakers' offense was stumbling, and they have been relying on the experience of old players and the hard work of the team to persevere.

Li Liang listened to Brown's arrangement, wiped the sweat off his head with a towel, and said, "I'll defend him in the fourth quarter, one-on-one."

As soon as Li Liang said "one on one", his teammates all looked at him.

Brown said: "We'd better adopt a double-team strategy, you and Ron..."

"Teaming is not allowed!" Li Liang retorted before Brown finished speaking.

"You can't double-team, I can handle him one-on-one, no problem, trust me." Li Liang added.

Get James one-on-one?

For someone else, it must be considered a joke.

But Li Liang said that even if he is a rookie, people will feel that he may really be able to do it.

Especially Mike Brown, he knew Li Liang well and knew that this kid never magnified his words.

If you say it, you can do it.

Brown said that he had to double-team James. If he continued to feel that way in the fourth quarter, he would really be killed.

And if it is double-teamed, with James' vision and ability to transfer the ball, it is estimated that he will be killed by the Heat's outside shooter.

Two glasses of poisoned wine, only one can be chosen.

Mike Brown thought, he could only bet that the Heat's outside shots were inaccurate.

But since Li Liang said he could handle it, of course he believed him.

"OK, I'll let you handle it, you will do what you say!" Brown said loudly.

At this time, the buzzer sounded for the start of the fourth quarter, and the referee reminded the players of both sides to reappear.

Kobe and Nash will not rest, and the Lakers will not give up so easily in the fourth quarter.

The two sides re-appeared. At this time, the Lakers used the most offensive lineup. Gasol played power forward, and Li Liang played against James at the small forward position.

James played the entire third quarter and continued to stay on the court in the fourth quarter. He will not rest either.

This game is really unbearable for the Heat. If they lose 0:2 at home, they really can't turn it over.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the ball was in the hands of the Heat.

James controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Li Liang defended James one-on-one.

Li Liang knew that in the fourth quarter, James could never score consecutively. He had to defend the first goal.

James' style, if he misses a shot, especially if the shot doesn't feel good, he will stop the offense, try to transfer the ball, and organize the offense.

Therefore, Li Liang must guard against the first tentative attack.

"[Golden Shield]!"

Li Liang finally used this unfinished golden shield, even if it consumes thousands of anger points per minute, it doesn't matter.

Now is the time to use her.

"The overall defensive ability has been increased by 15%!"

With a 15% increase, Li Liang's [basic defensive ability on the outside line] has suddenly increased from 81 to 93 points!

Follow-up defense, post defense, and steals have all been upgraded to a higher level.

Li Liang felt a golden light shining on his body, like a super Saiyan. Of course, that was just an illusion given to him by the system.

But his movements became quicker, his eyes became quicker and sharper, and his footsteps became more solid. This is not an illusion.

Originally, Li Liang put James on two-step defense, but after using the shield, he suddenly went up to him, leaned against James with his body, and started to fight.

James was a little surprised by Li Liang's sudden forward attack, and he immediately turned sideways to protect the ball.

Li Liang began to defend James in an all-round way without dead ends.

Van Gundy, the on-site commentator, saw this scene and said bluntly that he seemed to have seen Scottie Pippen's successful defense against Magic Johnson in the second game in 1991.

It's exactly the same, it's this kind of close-to-body confrontation, with completely clean hands and feet, and an outside press.

James tried to force Li Liang to turn around, but found that Li Liang's body was well controlled and he was as motionless as a mountain.

Li Liang pressed harder and harder, and because James missed the initiative, he couldn't get rid of it easily.

So he had to pass the ball to Wade who came to meet him, and then ran out of the three-point line empty-handed, and distanced himself from Li Liang.

Then he caught the ball again, and the moment he caught the ball, he directly forced his right hand from the middle!

Li Liang followed closely, and Howard in the middle did not come to help defend, he stared at Bosh.

In this game, Bosh has grabbed several open opportunities to score.

After James accelerated, he rushed into the inside line like a tank, but Li Liang did not lose track, but kept fighting physically.

James made a layup, when Kobe came from the flank to defend, and together with Li Liang intercepted James in the air!

James' layup missed!

The referee didn't call a foul!

Li Liang got the backboard and passed the ball to Nash. The Lakers counterattacked!

The Heat retreated very quickly, Nash slowed down, Li Liang made a high screen for Nash, and then quickly retreated to 45 degrees.

For Fang Liliang's three-pointer, the Heat's defense was torn apart.

Nash went in from the middle, hit the ground and passed the ball, Howard followed up in the middle, and after receiving the ball, he succeeded in a one-handed split dunk!

7 points, the point difference was narrowed to 7 points.

74:81, the Lakers completed a successful defense.

James felt that Li Liang's defense seemed to be different from usual.

It seemed to be difficult to get rid of him, and his personal interference just now made James very uncomfortable.

His actions are on the verge of fouling and not fouling. In a confrontation at the level of the finals, the referee will not easily call a foul.

James also wants to try an offense.

He handed the ball to Wade, dropped to the low post, and Wade passed to James.

It was still a one-on-one single defense. Li Liang stuck James tightly behind him. His low defense increased by 6 points, which was not much.

But James' low-post skills are not at the historical level.

In this case, Li Liang suddenly used [Death Coil]!

James felt a chill behind his back, his body seemed to be entangled by something, and his muscles stiffened for 0.1 second.

After 0.1 seconds, James reacted and passed the ball to the outside.

Li Liang's interception was unsuccessful, and only James could evade Li Liang's skills.

But James' low-post attack was destroyed. In the end, Wade took the ball and rushed inside, but missed a throw with his right hand.

Howard got the backcourt rebound, and Nash counterattacked with the ball.

The Lakers were in full swing, with Kobe leading the charge and Nash throwing a daring long pass through the half.

The ball went over Wade and Chalmers, Bryant jumped up to catch it in the air, then turned and passed it to Gasol who followed him.

Gasol took the ball straight to the basket and made a layup with his right hand!

For the two balls, the Lakers finally hit the inside line, scoring points in the safest, safest, and most foolproof way.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Spoel immediately called a timeout by 5 points.

5 points is a hurdle that must not be broken through.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' pursuit of points was too fierce, and they had to slow down.
