Chapter 103: I am Li Gang

? In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang stood on the court of the NBA regular season.
Staples made a strange noise on the spot, mixed with cheers and boos.
After being selected by the Lakers, Li Liang was full of controversy.
At first, many Lakers fans thought this was a huge mistake.
They said that if the Lakers were still in the 08-10 period, they could get such a mascot, but now it won't work.
What's the use of such a player who hasn't even played in the NCAA?
Later, Li Liang "criticized" the management at the signing ceremony, which caused a lot of discussion.
Many fans worry that this guy will be a thorn.
In the summer league, his stunning performance attracted a wave of fans.
Subsequent preseason games, and outstanding performance, so that the Lakers fans began to have expectations for him.
Of course, people's prejudices are difficult to change. Such boos may appear all the time until Li Liang really has a good performance.
For fans, if Kobe is not playing well, they will also boo him.
Li Liang came on to replace Jamison. Jamison's former All-Star is really not defensive on the court.
Not only can it not help the inside players to do defense protection, it is difficult to even target their opponents.
At this time, the Lakers lineup is Jordan Hill, Blake, Gasol, and Meeks.
The Lakers' main age is too old, so Brown will change to the main force in the second half of the second quarter. It is now the connecting section. The Lakers must bite the rest of the main force.
The Lone Ranger is also a rotation, with Vince Carter, Jay Crowder and Eddie Curry on the court.
Jay Claude and Li Liang participated in the training camp in New Jersey together, and he never thought that this guy who played big words in the locker room actually entered the NBA.
And it seems to be playing well, and the topic of the 2012 rookie is not inferior to the first round of the show.
The Lakers serve the sideline and Li Liang and Claude counterpoint.
Blake controlled the ball in the backcourt and Li Liang stepped forward to cover Blake.
Except for Li Liang, the entire Lakers have no one who can cover them well.
Howard doesn't like to be screened. Gasol and Hill are not good at screening. They have no backhand after screening.
Although Li Liang is a small forward, his cover is solid.
Blake used Li Liang's blocker to tear a little space at 45 degrees on the left.
But Blake is not Nash, and his personal attack power cannot create a good offensive opportunity.
He chose to pass the ball to Gasol on the left.
This is Gasol's favorite position, he used his foot to beat Curry.
Little Shark Curry weighed nearly 300 pounds this year, and he was raised very well in New York, bloated like a grapefruit.
Although he can't attack like this, he can really defend.
Lone Ranger players immediately came up to assist defense, Gasol missed.
But Gasol grabbed a rebound from the frontcourt and passed the ball.
Blake had a chance at 45 degrees, but he flicked a shot without a shot, and dribble took a step inside.
The Lone Ranger's defensive formation contracted at once, and the outside shot a chance!
Li Liang is on the front and has a three-point chance.
Li Liang shouted, "Pass, pass!"
This kid doesn't look like a rookie at all, he can roar regardless of who he is.
No way, with a hair dryer, he even yelled at Auerbach.
Blake really gave the ball to Li Liang, who was undefended outside the three-point line.
Claude also wanted to rush over to defend, you are late!
Li Liang didn't need to aim, he shot directly three points and scored!
With [Zero Second Shot], his shot speed is faster than in the past.
At 38:37, Li Liang hit the Lakers' second three-pointer in the game.
It was also his first goal in the NBA regular season!
After the goal, the Staples Center cheered. On the bench, Sackley stood up like a buttocked fire and waved a towel to Li Liang.
Even Kobe applauded gently.
Li Liang made a gesture of depression, but this guy had seen the big scene.
It's just a three-pointer, don't make a fuss.
At this point, the system gives a prompt:
[Achievement, ‘NBA’s first goal’, reward: one lucky draw chance. 】
At first glance, Li Liang draws a lottery and wants to draw me something useless?
No matter, play hard.
The significance of this goal goes far beyond Li Liang's first goal in the NBA.
Because the Lakers can't make a three-pointer, the Lone Ranger has always used contraction defense.
Use strong fronts like Claude and Marion to deal with the Lakers' inner twin towers.
Because there is no three-pointer, the Lakers who can't open the space can't pass the cut, but they can't flow.
A large number of invalid passes, plus errors, led to the team's offensive efficiency is very low.
After this three-pointer, Carlisle has to consider whether to continue the contraction defense strategy.
However, Li Liang's real role is not a three-pointer, but his defense.
Collins controlled the ball after halftime, facing Blake, Collins felt no pressure at all.
Although Blake played hard and dedicated, but there was no way, he was a thin white man on the basketball court.
Defensively, Nash has no sense of presence. I can imagine how bad the Lakers' defense is.
When the Lone Ranger pulls open, the Lakers will open the hole after a midfield pick and roll. Carter and Mayo on the wing can attack with a three-pointer. Marion can catch the ball and rush to the basket.
In the face of this simple and efficient tactical routine, the Lakers have no solution at all.
Sure enough, Cullila came up to block Collins, this meaty mountain guy, blocking Blake from finding the north.
In this way, Gasol had to defend two, Collins from the middle into the three seconds zone.
Someone on the weak side must come to the defense, and the chance of the Lone Ranger will come out.
Collins is thinking about whether he wants to kill the rim directly or to score for the weak teammates.
But he found his ball was gone.
Yes, the ball is gone.
With luck, what about my ball?
It turned out to be Li Liang, who rushed over from the side and back and directly smashed the ball from Collins' hand!
This time Collins was too careless, thinking that Ci Shiping and Kobe were not present and the Lakers did not have the ability to steal.
Who knows, Li Liang, who stood at 45 degrees, directly gave up on Claude's defense and ventured to trap Collins from the back.
The two fell to the ground to form a ball, and the referee blew the ball.
Li Liang, who had the chance to compete for the ball, roared, and only when defending, he could feel his adrenaline soaring.
The audience finally stopped booing and began to replace it with cheers and applause.
Li Liang used only two rounds, and was recognized by Staples.
why?
Because the fans saw from him what the Lakers were lacking.
Energy and passion.
Someone on the Lakers bench is very energetic and passionate, but unfortunately he can't play.
Scramble, Collins and Li Liang.
Li Haojun is also a 205-height forward and Collins is a point guard. If he can't compete with each other, it's really shameful.
Li Liang set the ball to Gasol in the air and the Lakers got the ball.
Li Liang rushed through the half and then stood akimbo outside the 45-degree three-point line.
Could you dare not guard? Do you dare to go inside and attack?
Dare you dare?
But the Lakers themselves had a little communication barrier.
Gasol and Jordan Hill are both in high positions.
Blake was a little bit confused, high double screen?
No, we don't play this tactic.
High and low pass? Which one of Gasol and Hill should go in, who do I give the ball to?
This hesitation wasted 5 seconds of offensive time.
Li Liang shouted, "Cannon! Go to the low position to fight!"
The problem with this ball is that Gasol habitually raises high.
The problem is that Hill is not Warcraft. He doesn't like to go to the low position. The two of them crashed the car in the high position.
Li Liang shouted, Gasol recovered, and cut to a low position.
Forget it, what Princeton, what high-level response, roll Nima, Laozi low singles.
Gasol is about to reach the position, Blake lobs to Gasol.
Gasol was eating Curry on his back, and Claude on the left went to defend.
Gasol immediately scored the ball to Li Liang, Claude saved.
Li Liang dropped the ball to Gasol again, and Claude could only go to Gasol.
Hey, make you play.
After hanging this twice in a row, Gasol still gave the ball to Li Liang.
If there is no time, Li Liang will catch the ball regardless of three, seven, twenty-one and throw!
As long as no one is in front of him, his shooting percentage is still very high!
The ball hit the rim a bit, then bumped twice, and finally turned around, still rolling in!
Goal!
Li Liang's second 3-pointer!
This time Li Liang pointed to Gasol, Gasol returned to Li Liang with a gentle look.
Good cooperation!
how about it? Do you still hit it? Still let me go?
I thought I was a rookie, so I didn't dare to vote. UU reading www.uukanshu.com couldn't vote?
I have a lot of NBA experience in a hundred games, and I'm tough with Durant, James and Robertson online.
You treat me like a rookie?
Forget it, forgive your ignorance, forgive you.
On the Lone Ranger's bench, Carlisle scratched his head and called for a timeout.
He didn't expect that a second-round pick rookie would suddenly change after he debuted, with an immediate effect.
Defensive and two offenses at a time disrupted the Lone Ranger's tactical layout.
What kind of person is this?
Looking through the draft data, he was picked up by the Lone Ranger at 55th pick and sent to the Lakers.
Cuban, who was watching the ball with the team, had a bitter face and didn't know what he was thinking.
Do you want to know that it is very easy to use, it is better to stay and use it, this is a capital enemy.
