Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

In the evening, the Golden One Center was full of fans.

The complex, which was built with a cost of US$557 million, can accommodate more than 17,500 spectators. In addition to basketball games, it can also hold various large-scale events such as boxing matches and concerts.

The regular season was officially put into use in September last year, just shortly after Li Liang announced that he would join the Kings.

It can be said that the arrival of Li Liang has greatly enhanced the color of Golden One.

This season, the King's record in this venue is even better, losing only three games at home so far.

And one of them was the loss to the Warriors last month.

Before the game started, Li Liang made more careful preparations.

At present, he already has three runes for coaching, one Lv2 rune of hand feel, one Lv1 rune of defensive focus, and one Lv1 rune of energy and fitness.

He usually puts the touch runes in the PG position for Rondo to use.

Before the start of the game, Li Liang put Rune in the power forward position, and he wanted to keep it for himself.

With the help of double runes, his shooting percentage will have a stronger boost.

The energy and physical fitness rune was given to the position of the small forward. PJ Tucker undertook a very heavy defensive task in the game, and he needed a small improvement in his physical fitness.

The defensive focus rune is of course placed at the center position, and Cousins' concentration has always been an issue.

If he can concentrate and control his temper, he is already a well-deserved No. 1 center this season.

In terms of tactics, facing the Warriors, it turns out that the little bee is not particularly effective and cannot be used as a conventional defensive tactic.

Li Liang decided to use a man-to-man, no-change strategy to deal with the Warriors' sharp offense.

In this game, Li Liang will fight against the Warriors.

Before the start of the game, Li Liang was interviewed by a local TV station in Sacramento, and the reporter asked him about the current status of the Kings.

Li Liang said very confidently, "We are in a winning streak, we have found the feeling of winning, our offense is getting more and more tacit, and tonight will be a wonderful game."

As a coach, Li Liang's speech is more stable.

An emotionally stable head coach is a strong backing for the players.

On the contrary, if the coach is always pushing around in front of the media, it will be a kind of pressure for the players.

Different team styles require different coaches.

The Kings themselves are in an unstable state. If the coach is no longer stable, the team's ups and downs will be too great.

So Li Liang had to force himself to be steady!

The starting lineups of both sides, the Warriors are Curry, Thompson, James, Pachulia and Green.

The Kings are Cousins, Li Liang, Tucker, Gordon and Rondo.

On the starting lineup, each position of both sides is to deal with it.

On the bench, the Warriors have Iguodala and the Kings have Rudy Gay.

The two teams can be said to be evenly matched, the Warriors lineup is more luxurious, and the Kings are more practical.

The two superstars of the Warriors joined forces for revenge, and Li Liang, the king, held two roles.

In the opening jump ball, the Kings took the lead to get the ball, and Li Liang received the pass from Rondo in a high position, and made a mid-range jumper.

In the past two seasons, Li Liang has taken more and more mid-range shots, and the proportion is getting higher and higher.

On the one hand, the team needs his mid-range as a tactical operation point. On the other hand, as long as he shoots three-pointers, the opponent will be double-teamed by three people. No one can bear it.

He needs richer offensive methods to support his shots.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Pachulia made a high pick-and-roll. Cousins ​​slowed down a little, and Pachulia got into the basket.

Curry made a pass through the basket, and Pachulia scored two points with a layup.

Li Liang stepped forward and patted Cousins' head, "Let you concentrate, one-on-one, and keep an eye on the person you want to guard against."

Cousins' defensive focus remains an issue.

He followed Curry habitually for this ball, but he missed it.

Cousins ​​immediately responded in the offense. He received the ball in the low post, the Warriors shrunk their defense, and Tucker had a chance in the right corner.

Cousins ​​made a wide-range transfer pass to Tucker, who caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Tucker's shots are mainly in the two bottom corners, and his hit rate is quite good.

Tucker's main task tonight is to deal with James on the defensive end, and then the main role in the offense is to throw a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Afterwards, the Warriors played a quick counterattack. James made a super long pass from the backcourt to Klay Thompson in the frontcourt. Thompson caught the ball and made a three-pointer, but failed to make it.

After James came to the Warriors, he put on the No. 6 jersey again.

His long pass was precise and fast, and when Thompson received the ball, it was completely open.

It's a pity that Thompson didn't feel good at the beginning.

Li Liang got the rebound and gave the ball to Rondo.

The Kings fought back, employing a four-way stretch -- D'Antoni's approach.

Speed, space, for D'Antoni, space is the lifeline of the offense.

Rondo used his speed to get in from the bottom line, and there was no chance at the basket. After attracting the defense, he threw a pass to the middle.

Li Liang catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly, and then hits it!

A three-pointer at the top of the arc.

The commentator was about to say that the shot was unreasonable, but in the end he scored the ball.

The Kings got off to a good start, an 8:2.

But immediately, Green held the ball in a high position to support and passed the ball to James.

James faced Tucker after catching the ball, and after a feint, he made a mid-range jumper.

After the little green from the east came to the west, he still had to be taken care of by the real green.

Of course, after James came to the Warriors, he could pat his chest and say, "You didn't win the championship before I came, and I'm here to teach you how to win the championship."

Because there is a common goal, the championship, and defeating Li Liang, the atmosphere within the Warriors is quite good.

Selfless passing, shots without personal gain or loss, and tenacious defense.

This is a strong and good team.

The two sides launched a confrontation in the first quarter.

The King's offense tonight was quite flexible.

Rondo used Li Liang's high pick-and-roll to get to the basket and a low-handed layup.

Cousins ​​can also attack the basket from time to time in the low post, and Cousins' support has improved a lot this season under Li Liang's guidance.

The most frightening thing is of course Li Liang, who incarnated as Karl Malone, used the pick-and-roll, and completely became a scoring machine for mid-range jumpers.

The Warriors are still facing the super big problem of how to defend Li Liang.

If this problem is not resolved and his shooting rate cannot be curbed in the series, the Warriors will still have a very difficult time playing against the Kings in the playoffs.

In the first quarter, Li Liang made 4 of 4 mid-range jumpers, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 13 points.

The Kings played a very smooth and beautiful offense, leading the Warriors by 11 points at 35:24 in the first quarter.

The Warriors got off to a bad start, and they still had nothing to do to defend Li Liang.

After the start of the second quarter, Li Liang replaced himself and allowed himself to rest.

For the Warriors, James played with the second team, and Li Liang replaced Gay and West.

James' role at this time is somewhat similar to Li Liang in the Thunder last season.

To be honest, with James' strength, it is no problem for him to lead the Warriors' second team for a season and enter the playoffs.

At the beginning, James held the ball in a low position and hit Gay with his back. After turning inside, he made a backward jumper and scored two points.

Coming back, the Kings pass to West in the low post.

West also played low back, retreated with a very beautiful dribble, and made a difficult backcourt jumper, which was also hit.

It is really important for the team's continuation of firepower that the king's bench can have a pinnacle like West.

Mike Brown is still thinking about letting West start, so that Li Liang can play center.

If Li Liang is not the head coach, it is estimated that Mike Brown will succeed.

It's a pity that Li Liang is the head coach, he doesn't want to let himself play center forward!

Then, James was surrounded in defense and made a mistake.

James yelled at the referee for a thug, but several Kings players pouted their buttocks in a circle, and the referee didn't see it at all.

"No foul! Counterattack! Counterattack!" Li Liang shouted from the sidelines.

The referee was hesitating, and when he heard Li Liang yell that there was no foul, he subconsciously didn't blow.

The referee's decision, sometimes just a thought, will be affected by the people around.

At this point, the Kings have launched a fast break.

Darren Collison made a one-stop kill to the basket and made a counterattack layup!

Also caused a foul by the opponent.

The Kings played like a rainbow in the half, and the maximum point difference was opened to 14 points.

However, the real contest between the two sides will not begin until the third quarter.
