Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

If Li Liang wants to say that he is self-taught, Mike Brown will be the first to disagree.

If I hadn't asked you to learn, would you have mastered so many skills?

Fortunately, Mike Brown didn't hear it. He was sitting off the court discussing the team's defensive strategy with Vogel.

As a cold and indifferent head coach, Bird has left the main tactical affairs of the team to the two assistant coaches.

In terms of strength, both Brown and Vogel are at the head coach level, and both have proven themselves as head coaches.

And both of them are known for their good defense, but they have different defensive concepts.

Not only is it different, it can be said to be very different.

Mike Brown is particularly obsessed with double-teaming, assisting defense, and space compression. This is a typical Spurs defense.

And Vogel came from Kentucky, who is the ancestor of Kentucky? Adolph Rupp, godfather in brown.

What is Rupp most famous for? Isn't it just his man-to-man defense, which carried forward this simplest and primitive defensive strategy.

Li Liang had trained with Coach Rupp in the system back then, and he had a deep understanding of the essence of man-to-man defense, which was also very helpful in improving his defensive awareness.

And Vogel inherited Rupp's defensive thinking, and in the past few seasons has built the Pacers into a strong team for man-to-man defense.

Well now, the Pacers' lineup is different from the past. Coach Brown and Vogel have disagreements on how to formulate a defensive strategy.

This disagreement was not resolved during the offseason.

At that time, because the team changed its style and took an offensive route, it did not discuss in depth.

As the Pacers have recently begun to regain their defense, the two coaches have begun to worry about defensive strategy.

Brown believes that we should take the route of collective defense, give full play to Li Liang's defensive core role, and use sweeping defense to lower the opponent's offensive fluency and hit rate.

Vogel believes that Li Liang has been under a lot of pressure on the offensive end, and he should be relieved on the defensive end.

Man-to-man has the most even pressure on a single defensive player, and the defensive stability is very good.

The two couldn't stop arguing, and Bird didn't participate in the dispute between the two, and now they are looking at the effect.

After Li Liang came on stage in the second quarter, he played with Kobe by worshiping Buddha.

Then, Kobe began to be surrounded by the Pacers' defense on the offensive end.

At this time, Kobe gave Clarkson a chance by transferring the ball in time, allowing Clarkson to find an opportunity in the right corner and hit a three-pointer.

Vogel saw that Clarkson scored a three-pointer, turned to look at Brown, and gave him a look, as if to say, "Look, your defensive strategy is not good."

Brown pushed his glasses and didn't speak. The two coaches were just like children, and they were angry about this matter.

Byrd saw the "contradiction" between the two generals under his opponent, and still didn't say anything.

He knows when to act to solve the problem, not now anyway.

Bryant's continuation of the first section of the good state.

And Li Liang's condition is also excellent, he let go of his firepower, facing Kobe's defense, he shot without hesitation.

"Bang!" Hit the iron, but didn't go in.

It doesn't matter if you didn't enter, Li Liang also said to Kobe, "Salute to you."

The Lakers had a good chance to fight back, but this time Li Liang came to defend Kobe himself.

Li Liang has never been stingy with his skills at this transition point of the game, no matter it is the beginning or the end of the game.

By grasping these nodes, you can control the trend of the game.

Therefore, Li Liang immediately released [Death Coil] once!

A powerful breath surrounded Kobe. Kobe felt his body stiffen, but he still protected the ball.

But Li Liang still touched the ball and poked it out of Kobe's hand.

After all, Kobe has rich experience, so he immediately blocked Li Liang with his body, preventing him from catching the ball.

Both of them fell to the ground. At this time, Danny Granger on the side had sharp eyesight and quick hands, rushed over to pick up the ball, and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Clarkson chased and defended, but Clarkson couldn't stop Granger. Granger took off in the three-second zone and succeeded in a dunk!

The Conseco Arena was full of joy, Danny Granger really came back!

Not only is he back as a person, but his performance, his state, and his heart are back together!

This ball is definitely a morale-boosting ball. Granger dunks and Li Liang steals.

After Granger scored the goal, he stepped forward to give Li Liang a high five.

He felt that since he met Li Liang, his basketball life had taken a turn for the better.

The momentum of the Lakers' counterattack was interrupted, and Kobe's good state was also interrupted by Li Liang's steal.

Kobe immediately hit two irons in a row, including a three-pointer and three-pointer, proving that he is really Kobe.

And Li Liang seemed to be infected by Kobe, and he missed his shot.

However, the Pacers maintained their advantage in the first half and ended the half with a 59:50, 9-point advantage.

Kobe scored 20 points at halftime, as if he had returned to his peak period.

Of course, he hit three irons in the second half of the second quarter, which also made people feel like they were dreaming back to the top.

Influenced by Kobe, Li Liang made only 6 of 15 shots in the half, scored 15 points, and had 5 assists and 2 steals.

Granger played the best for the Pacers. He made 4 of 5 shots in the half and scored 10 points. He was the team's most efficient substitute player.

Seeing Granger's performance like this, Bird is already considering whether to send him to the starting lineup.

It's really amazing. Granger recovered so quickly and well after returning to the Pacers. It's a miracle of life.

Bird, how did you know that this is not a miracle of life, but a miracle of science, science!

During the halftime break, Mike Brown and Vogel were still arguing whether they should use space pressure and rotation as the main defense or man-to-man defense.

The two chatted endlessly, and during normal training, the two often argued.

One of them is black, one is white, one is fat, one is thin, one wears glasses, one does not wear glasses, one is a man who likes to laugh, and the other is a serious coach. It seems that they are naturally a pair of contradictions.

Li Liang was a little annoyed by what he heard, the match is still going on!

"OK, OK, what are you arguing for? Wouldn't it be enough to mix together and play man-to-man?"

Both Brown and Vogel have question marks on their faces. Man-to-man is man-to-man, and rotation defense is rotation defense. How can two completely contradictory defensive strategies be mixed together?

Li Liangdao: "Listen to my command. When I say man-to-man, man-to-man, rotation to rotation, or other people to man-to-man, I will take turns to help defend everything, isn't it over?"

What Li Liang said was easy. In fact, in the game, it is basically impossible to switch defensive tactics freely.

This is a bit too high for players' tactical literacy, which is unrealistic.

However, Li Liang's last sentence reminded Brown that it's okay for other people not to take turns, but it's fine for Li Liang to take turns alone, right?

Brown was lost in thought, and Vogel was also thoughtful.

Bird still ignored the two, and simply arranged the tactical points for the second half, and made a rotation plan in his mind.

Granger's playing time will be extended, and he was given 10 minutes in the first half, which was very efficient.

Bird feels that it can be appropriately increased to 15 minutes, 30 minutes a game.

If his performance continues to pick up and improve, he can be considered for promotion to the starting lineup.

Of course, Bird is not considering letting Granger replace Smith, Smith's performance is still very good.

Bird was thinking whether to let Li Liang play the fourth position, let Granger play the third position, and start with a one-on-four junior.

If Li Liang knew Bird's idea, he would definitely be scolding his mother again. Is it so difficult for me to play a small forward?

I am in the third position, so I have blocked the feng shui eyes of the coaches, right?

I just want to feel at ease squatting at the bottom corner, no!

Bird seemed to know Li Liang's possible reaction, so he didn't say anything.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers handed the ball to Howard for the first ball to eat McGee in the low post.

Howard's low-post strength is still there, so he hit a small hook after pushing McGee and scored two points.

On the Pacers side, Sloan held the ball across half court and quickly counterattacked to kill the inside line, attracting the defense to transfer the ball to the top of the arc.

Li Liang received the ball and made a hand-off pass and screen cooperation for Smith who came from the flank.

The Lakers' left defense was ripped open.

Smith made an open three-pointer!

Blast hit!

On the Lakers side, Kobe continued to feed Howard.

As soon as the ball reached Howard's hands, Li Liang double-teamed from behind and broke the ball from Howard's hands!

As an old teammate, Li Liang is still very familiar with Howard's habit of holding the ball, the third steal of the game.

Kobe just shook his head. A big problem the Lakers are facing now is that the details of the game are getting worse and worse.

At the beginning of the season, relying on talent and offense rushed a wave. As the season progressed, these poor details were devouring a team's combat effectiveness.

Kobe couldn't help but miss Li Liang again.

When he was in the Lakers, his control over the details was absolutely excellent, with very few mistakes and very few mistakes.

After leaving the Lakers, Li Liang started to make more mistakes when he needed to support assists.

This season Li Liang has begun to control.

After he succeeded in stealing the ball, he quickly crossed halftime, but he was not frizzy at all.

Waiting for his teammates to settle on the wing, he found that McGee had a chance in the middle. Li Liang immediately passed the ball to the inside. After McGee received the ball, he took a big stride to the basket and succeeded in dunking with one hand!

Howard had already jumped up to block the shot, but McGee's height and wingspan were even more outstanding, and he dunked one directly on Howard's head.

This ball is really beautiful, the Pacers gave the Lakers a blow in the third quarter.

Four minutes into the third quarter, the Pacers opened the gap to 13 points, and D'Antoni called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the ball still had to be given to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant succeeded in two consecutive strong kills, a successful layup and a successful foul.

Kobe's current breakthrough gives people the feeling that it takes a long time to accumulate energy before it can be activated once.

Unlike when I was young, I could do it at any time, but now I have to take it easy and feel that my physical fitness is fine.

Then the Lakers ushered in another bright spot in the third quarter, the No. 1 pick Wiggins.

In the first half, Wiggins didn't even score a point under Li Liang's defense.

After two unsuccessful shots in the first quarter, Wiggins became very cautious about his shot selection.

Until the third quarter, Wiggins finally let go and let go of his hands and feet. In fact, his talent is really good.

When he seized the opportunity to explode and rush in, Li Liang really couldn't stop him.

Hitting Li Liang three times in a row really stumped Li Liang.

On the third ball, Li Liang fouled while defending and sent Wiggins to the free throw line.

Unfortunately, the first free throw was missed... Wiggins closed his eyes, a little annoyed.

Before the second free throw, Li Liang walked over and said, "You played well, don't be impatient, the road is long."

After finishing speaking, Wiggins seemed to relax and hit the second free throw.

The hit was a hit, but in the next game, the hard work on Wiggins disappeared again...

It seems to have been approved by Li Liang, and I feel that there is no need to fight anymore.

Bruce Lee is right, don't be impatient young people, there is still a long way to go.
