Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

To Li Liang, this prop could not be called a timely help, but it was definitely a very useful thing.

Ever since he got the [Three-Point Shooting Ratio Improvement Post] through missions before joining the league, this useful item has been with Li Liang and has become a big consumer of anger points.

In the Lakers and Clippers, Li Liang's three-pointers are extremely deadly.

But after the Pacers, three-pointers alone are not enough.

Because many teams have seen it through now, just card Liliang.

Two people, three people or even four people go to guard, and the others are left to fate.

JR, Granger and others are not stable enough, and they don't have the ability to kill their opponents by themselves.

Therefore, Li Liang had to develop more of his other offensive methods.

In addition to breakthroughs and emergency stop jumpers, the sharpest weapon left is of course the mid-range jumper.

This strongest offensive technique throughout the history of basketball seems to be abandoned by the league in an era when three-pointers are more and more valued.

Because according to data analysis, the use of three-pointers, offense at the basket, and free throws is the most efficient offensive method.

In terms of big data, the middle distance is the least efficient, especially the two-point long.

But the game is not entirely composed of data. Data is the result, not the process.

The power of the middle distance has been proven time and time again on the stage of the NBA playoffs.

Last season, the Clippers were able to destroy everything. In addition to Li Liang's three-pointers, there was also Paul's mid-range coverage.

Not to mention the Lakers, Kobe's MVP season, the best mid-range shot master in history.

Even James, his shooting is not stable, and the team also has Wade, a mid-range shooting master who can explode in the playoffs.

Anyway, the regular season feels punctual and inaccurate, and when it is needed, it is scary to be on time.

Among Li Liang's teammates, there is no longer such a mid-range master in the backcourt.

JR, Granger, and West are all good, but they can't hold on and can't make it through.

Therefore, Li Liang has more and more mid-range jump shots in the game.

It's usually combined with his pull-up jumper after the drive, the 45-degree rebound, or the catch-and-shoot after the pick-and-roll screen.

If it's just a three-pointer, no one will give him space. If there are two or three people in front of him, he will not be able to maintain a high shooting rate even if he is a god.

And this [Mid-range hit rate improvement post (a)] can maintain the effect for 10 minutes, basically it can last for half a quarter, even if there is a pause, it is not afraid.

Just go to the exchange center to check the price - this system is really getting darker and darker.

Fortunately, Li Liang received a lot of anger points at the Quicken Loan Center the day before yesterday.

The quality of the fans in Cleveland is poor. During the regular season, I still think of my father. I think I brought you Paul George.

When it came to the Eastern Conference finals, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and began to boo Li Liang during the game.

Of course Li Liang didn't care, the more people who booed him, the better, and it would be best if they could scold each other, then he would be happy.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers' starting lineup has changed compared with the previous game.

Kevin Garnett replaced Danny Granger in the starting lineup at the four.

And Li Liang came to the third position he is familiar with, playing small forward.

Eat a fall and gain a wisdom.

When playing the Bulls in the semifinals, Bird was determined not to change the team, because he believed that Li Liang could hold at the fourth position.

But after the third game of the Eastern Conference finals, he still wanted to put Li Liang in the third position, because he didn't believe that the referee would let Li Liang go.

The fourth position is still too dangerous. In the away game, he would rather sacrifice a little bit of the overall offense, but also strengthen the defense, and at the same time protect Li Liang, the absolute core.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup has not changed compared with the previous three games.

With the jump ball, McGee took the lead to get the ball, and the Pacers started their first offense of the game.

At the beginning, the Pacers' offense was a bit rough.

The continuous conduction of the ball from the outside line was destroyed by the Cavaliers when it was sent to the bottom corner.

The offensive time has passed a lot, and finally the baseline free throw came out and was given to the inside. Garnett turned over and missed a jumper.

The disadvantage of not playing one big and four small is that the transfer of the ball on the offensive end is not so smooth, and the space is obviously not open.

The Cavaliers counterattacked with a rebound from the backcourt. James walked lightly across the half court and made an emergency stop for a mid-range jumper!

Blacksmithing...

Both sides missed the first attack.

Later, on the Pacers' side, Li Liang made an emergency stop and missed a jumper while holding the ball to the basket.

After returning to the third position in this game, Li Liang and James have been facing each other from the beginning.

It's meaning for the two to fight each other.

Then, Irving caused Hill's foul in the offense, made two free throws from the free throw line, and the Cavaliers started 2:0.

Immediately, Garnett picks and rolls at 45 degrees on the left, receives a pass from Hill, and hits a mid-range jumper.

After Garnett switched to the starting lineup, his mid-range jumper must be developed and utilized, otherwise the Pacers' offense will be very difficult.

Garnett then hit a 24-second buzzer mid-range, scoring 4 points in a row at the start.

Compared with the previous game, both sides obviously have a better understanding of each other's offensive routines, and there are a lot fewer defensive misses.

This also makes the offense on both sides more fragmented and dependent on individual abilities.

Garnett hit two mid-range shots in a row, while Irving made consecutive breakthrough throws for the Cavaliers.

Blatter has realized that Irving must be explosive on the offensive end, and he must press Hill to play.

Because Irving is basically a negative role on the defensive end, he may be blown up by the opponent at any time, so he should be hidden and used.

If he can't play his singles advantage on the offensive end, this point will be completely wasted.

Therefore, after the opening, the Cavaliers kept giving Irving singles to let him find the offensive feeling.

Irving really feels outstanding at home. His snake-like ball control and positioning made Hill, who is good at defense, unable to guard.

And his final finish was so superb that Garnett couldn't stop him when he came to help defend.

Irving scored 6 points in a row at the start.

But apart from Irving, the Cavaliers have misfired.

Paul George, who also broke out in the last game, scored 0 for 3 in the opening game...

Two of them missed shots, and Li Liang caught and counterattacked, and beat the Cavaliers 6:0.

At 12:6, the Pacers took a 6-point lead.

In this wave of confrontation, James and Li Liang didn't score a single point.

James had one steal and one assist, while Li Liang had two rebounds and two assists.

Both of them seem to be secretly accumulating strength.

The Cavaliers did not call a timeout, and James caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right and forced Li Liang with his back.

The Pacers came online to interfere, it was JR-Smith, James immediately gave the ball to George, George caught the ball and made a three-pointer, and finally scored!

This is a thirst quencher.

Li Liang felt very depressed, and asked JR after serving, "You look down on me?"

"No, how dare I look down on you?"

"Then why do you come to help defend, do I want you to help defend?"

"I... I'm used to it."

"You're used to shit, did you come when it's time to help defend?"

Li Liang shook his head. Smith was actually very active, but it was not the time to be active.

The James team has always not double-teamed, and double-teaming is an opportunity for him to show his passing skills.

The Cavaliers then contributed a high-intensity defense, double-teaming Li Liang, Li Liang passed the ball to Garnett who responded, James misplaced to defend Garnett, and almost intercepted the ball.

In the end, Li Liang ran to the right corner to catch the ball. Under the double pressure, he forced a three-pointer.

Li Liang's response came quickly, and as soon as the goal was scored, the Cavaliers players and fans gasped.

Is the Indiana combine about to start?

In the last round of the series, Li Liang won the reputation of Chicago Typewriter with his consecutive three-pointers and jump shots.

Now some people call him the Indiana combine, it mainly depends on when his three-pointers start to break out.

But after this three-pointer, Li Liang did not continue to show his superb three-pointer skills.

He put more energy on defense, support, and outside defense.

He seems to have returned to the one he was in the Lakers, hidden in the team as a whole, but you don't know when he will show his sharp fangs.

What's more, he now has more than one sharp tooth.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides played calmly. The Pacers led the Cavaliers by 4 points at 27:23.

The Pacers are flourishing, and Garnett is a solid player, scoring 6 points, 3 rebounds, and a blocked shot.

JR-Smith hit a three-pointer, and Hill continued to attack Owen at this point. Although Irving scored 10 points, Hill also scored 6 points.

The two sides are already quite familiar with the tactical habits, without the "strangeness" of the first three games, I feel that the game played very smoothly.

But everything is hidden under the peaceful surface, and undercurrents are surging.
