Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems
Chapter 378: Like Paul
In the Clippers' five-day tactical training, Li Liang had a general understanding of his teammates' playing style.
In comparison, he spent nearly as much time with the 1990 Cavaliers as he did with the Clippers.
But 20 assists is really difficult.
At least 5 effective assists must be sent in each quarter, the pass must be just right, and teammates can throw the ball in.
The Cavaliers and the Nuggets are different. Although the Cavaliers have been struggling in the East all year round, the Cavaliers in 1990 were a very combative team.
At the beginning of the season, they lacked two generals, Doherty and Nance, due to injuries. In this case, they still made it to the playoffs.
And their head coach is none other than Lenny Wilkens, who is known for his relatively rigid style of play and style of play.
As one of the few thousand-win coaches in the league, Lenny Wilkens' reputation is not too prominent.
In terms of achievements, although he won 1,000 regular season victories, in terms of the number of championships, only the one with the Sonics in 1979.
Compared with Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and other coaches with rings in their hands, one is really small.
And the Sonics in 1979 were originally one of the most obscure NBA championships.
When Li Liang was learning to pass the ball in the system, he trained with this supersonic.
There are also some coaches who have never won a championship in their lifetime, such as George Karl, Adelman, Jerry Sloan, and Don Nelson.
Although they have no champions, they are more famous than Wilkens, because each of them has very distinctive characteristics.
Adelman's Princeton, Sloan's UCLA system in the Jazz, Nelson's mad scientist, George Karl's amoeba in the Sonics, etc., have all left a deep impression on fans.
And Wilkens, only when you look up which teams he has coached and think, "Oh, so he was the coach at the time."
For example, in the semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers in 2001, Carter failed in the lore and lost to Iverson's Raptors.
For example, in the mid-1990s, the Atlanta Hawks played Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls many times.
There is also the Cavaliers, who also had the background of Jordan. In 1989, Jordan the-shot lore the Cavaliers, and the head coach of the Cavaliers was Wilkens.
Because, the biggest feature of Wilkens is that he feels that he has no features.
His personality is unassuming, his defense is not the ultimate meat grinder like Larry Brown, and his offense is not as smooth as Adelman's.
Even his appearance is well-balanced, and it is difficult to leave a deep impression on people.
With such a coach, it is really not easy for Li Liang to understand and implement his tactical intentions.
The key is that he can't play according to his own ideas, because his teammates all play according to Wilkens' thinking. If you want an assist, if you don't follow his routine, how do you pass the ball?
When the Sonics learned to hit the ground pass, it was pretty good to practice with Lenny Wilkens.
When it came to the Cavaliers, in 1990, 10 years had passed since 1979, and the tactics had changed a lot.
However, there were many differences between the tactics in 1990 and 2013, which made Li Liang very uncomfortable.
However, after the Clippers' five-day training camp, Li Liang found something.
How to find the feeling, learn from Paul!
Although Li Liang talked against Paul, he hoped that the team would favor him tactically.
But while he was angry, he followed Paul and learned how traditional point guards command and dispatch on the court.
Li Liang's brain is still very smart, and Paul likes to "be good at being a teacher" and various commands when playing on the court.
Paul was beeping, Li Liang was beeping back and stealing lessons.
This guy is also very bad. He fought against Paul on the field, but he was actually learning from it secretly.
Paul's offensive organization method is not the same as Nash's.
Nash is a typical freehand style, you just run all kinds of things, and if you run out of opportunities, you can't pass the ball and I lose.
After all, he grew up under Nelson and was a shining point guard under D'Antoni.
Paul is relatively more traditional and regular, directing his teammates to run to what he thinks is the right position, and the ball will naturally come when people arrive.
This kind of organization is very much in line with Lenny Wilkens' wishes.
Li Liang studied for five days, disguised himself as a half-baked Paul, and came to the Cavaliers' home court.
[Mission, Price's peak, time: April 4, 1990, location: Richfield Stadium, Cleveland, USA, against: Atlanta Hawks VS Cleveland Cavaliers, task requirements: replace Mark Price, play the role of the Cavaliers Point guard, helped the Cavaliers win the game and scored at least 20 assists. Mission rewards: basic passing ability +15, short passing ability +5, hanging passing ability +5, mission difficulty: star]
The opponent of the Cavaliers in this game is the Eagles.
The Eagles were a strong team in the East in the mid-1980s, with Dominique Wilkins, the "human movie star."
However, the Eagles can only play until the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and have been unable to overcome the mountain of the Celtics.
By 1990, the Eastern Conference was about to be dominated by Michael Jordan.
The Eagles are entering a downward path, and Wilkins' style of play cannot lead the team to go further.
Inside they have a former MVP, Moses - Malone.
But Malone in 1990 was already a functional center who wandered around.
After winning the championship in 1983, Malone seemed to lose his motivation to fight in the NBA. The main reason for staying was to make money to support his family.
He jumped directly into the NBA from high school back then, just to make money early. From this point of view, Moses has not forgotten his original intention.
Li Liang has played this game many times, and he is basically familiar with the opening situation and the subsequent trend.
All he has to do is one thing, organize the team's offense, and keep sending shells to Doherty and Larry Nance.
Moreover, the match against Li Liang in this game is none other than the team's head coach, Doug Rivers!
Li Liang asked Rivers two days ago how he played that game in 1990.
Where does Firth remember clearly here? He only remembers that price, with the help of a god, could convert every pass into a score in that game.
The Eagles didn't collapse until the last quarter, because the offense was blocked by the Cavaliers' defense.
Before the start of the game, Li Liang kept communicating with his teammates, imitating Paul to order this and that.
After the start of the game, Li Liang no longer focused on "making" assists, but started to organize seriously.
Command teammates to move, pass the ball in time, support teammates, and send key passes.
The game was very intense, and the popularity of the Ridgefield Stadium was still very high.
Because it was the game in April, both the Cavaliers and Eagles were on the verge of the playoffs and were sprinting for the playoffs.
The two teams are also in the Eastern Conference and are direct competitors, so naturally they played inextricably.
Until the last quarter, as Rivers said, the Eagles' offense was misfired.
And Li Liang didn't count his assists at all.
At the critical moment, Li Liang hit a crucial three-pointer from the outside, killing the game!
At 104:95, the Cavaliers won at home.
At the end of the game, Li Liang realized that he had completed the task. He got 20 assists!
"Haha! Passed! Passed! It's really good to learn from Paul, it's really good!"
