Chapter 200: Strategic victory

[Welcome back to the Almighty King system, whether to continue the mission]
?【Yes! 】
[Mission, Contain Duncan's first show, Time: October 31, 1997, Location: Denver McNichols Arena, United States, against: San Antonio Spurs VS Denver Nuggets,? Mission requirements: beat Tim Duncan, will his Contain the score below 10 points, help the Nuggets win, mission reward: basic defensive ability +10, all minor items +5, one special item, task difficulty: normal]
Just entering the system, Li Liang reviewed the requirements of this task.
It's like doing a problem in high school. When you think you can't do it, read the problem a few times.
Because all the effective information for solving the problem is included in the problem, if it can't be done, it means that the information is not extracted in place.
Or the information is in place, you really don’t.
In previous missions, from Weber to Garnett to Nowitzki, the requirements were slightly different.
Weber's explicit request to "match Weber" shows that one defense and one can deal with Weber.
Facts have proved that the game used some outside defense skills, plus withstand, and grabbed the backcourt rebound, it was successful.
Because there were Olajuwon and Thorpe behind.
The second hit Garnett, the requirement is "Don't let him score", the following process proves that Garnett scores mainly by eating bread.
So don't let him score, just destroy his chance of eating a cake.
The third to play Nowitzki, the same requirement as Garnett, to suppress the score... shows that Nowitzki is almost the same, the rookie inside, the ability to attack independently is not strong.
The two missions were relatively easy. They both cut off the aid and fouled if it didn't work.
Only Duncan's mission is different, and the mission clearly requires "defeating Duncan."
The course of the game also shows that it is impossible to speculate and not let the score be scored. You must confront Duncan head-on and defeat him.
Can Li Liang defeat Duncan now? It must be far away.
But there are no absolutes in the NBA, especially the outcome and performance of a game.
No matter how strong the team is, they can definitely win the so-called weak team. No matter how strong the player is, they dare not say that a game can definitely beat the opponent's role player.
As long as the players are in good condition and the team is targeting well, they can win from weak to strong and broad from small.
In addition, several other tasks, in addition to the [Basic Inside Defense] plus points, other minor items are selected to increase.
Duncan's task is all added, not only because this task is difficult, but also because these ability tasks require you to use them.
Therefore, Li Liang made full preparations for this task.
He found the video of the game, repeatedly tried to figure it out, watched it, and formulated a game plan in his heart.
As soon as he entered the mission, he put on the Nuggets' red and white jersey.
At the beginning of the opening, there are not too many people at McNichols Arena, and some seats are empty.
Because the game lacks star flavor, the audience will generally not wait until the game is halfway through.
The Nuggets starters are guards Brian Stitch, Bobby Jackson, forward Eric Williams, Li Liang, and center Garrett.
Properly a junk lineup, Eric Williams is the team's number one scorer.
The second scorer was Lafonso Ellis, who could not play because of hernia.
In such a bad roster, the original Tony Batty was removed and replaced by Li Liang, who had to play the Double Tower Spurs.
In addition to the twin towers, the Spurs also have Avery Johnson, Elliott and Negro – the Clippers coach.
This talent and ability are not in the same grade at all, Li Liang is to defeat the strong with the weak.
The first step he needs to do is to determine the matchup on the field.
The head coach of the Nuggets is Bill Hanzlick. He played in the Nuggets in the 1980s and was an important substitute for Ingles.
Later, he became an assistant coach and became the head coach for the first time this year.
After finishing this season, he disappeared from the head coach position, after all, the record is too bad.
This kind of coach can't hope, Li Liang can only personally command teammates on the field.
The teammates really listened to him. There was no way. If the teammates were angry and uncooperative, it would really be impossible to fight.
Li Liang asked Garrett to play against Duncan and he went to deal with David Robinson.
Li Liang's idea is very clear, Garrett is worse, after all, it is the center in the 1990s.
The post defense ability and skills are still better than his own, and the height is also there, so let him go to Duncan first.
As for whether Li Liang can withstand David Robinson? Regardless of him, let him beat me, and don’t make Duncan comfortable.
But the Nuggets still have to win. What can we do, we can only rely on offense.
As soon as the game started, Robinson jumped the ball and the game began.
Li Liang clearly remembered that Duncan passed the first ball, then Johnson broke through and scored a goal for David Robinson.
David Robinson will make a strong layup with the ball.
Sure enough, everything went according to the script, Li Liang did not stop Robinson, watched him layup.
Then Li Liang immediately served Bobby Jackson in the backcourt and told Jackson to rush!
Jackson held the ball quickly through the half, and Li Liang ran to the right of the 45-degree three-point line.
Jackson passed the ball to Li Liang. When Li Liang took the ball, everyone thought he had to slow down and then passed the ball to his teammates.
As a result, Li Liang made a three-point shot without saying anything!
In the second step of the plan, the three-pointer must be taken first.
Whether you can win or not depends on the three points.
"Uh!"
Not bad, Li Liang hit this open three-pointer, Spurs players did not expect him to vote.
In this game in history, the two sides made a total of 6 three-pointers.
The Spurs pitched four goals and scored two, which is pitiful.
The use of three points is an advantage of the times.
Next, the trend of the game is going according to Li Liang's plan.
As long as Duncan catches the ball, Li Liang firmly sticks to it, Duncan you have to pass inside to Robinson, whatever you want.
Robinson dunked several baskets under the basket, Li Liang didn't care, you dunked.
Looking back, Li Liang shot a three-pointer from the outside.
Li Liang kept picking and picking Jackson and Stitch on the outside. After the outside cut, he got the ball and shot a little chance.
Regardless of whether he enters or not, he relies on a large amount to fill the basket and lose points.
Li Liang scored three goals, which is equivalent to the Spurs' five rounds of scoring.
Because Robinson still had to make free throws, Li Liang couldn't do it and fouled.
Robinson's free throw percentage is 55 percent tonight.
Therefore, they played five times successfully, which was equivalent to three times Li Liang played successfully.
Moreover, on the Nuggets side, not only did Li Liang make a 3-pointer, Bobby Jackson also made a 3-pointer.
Li Liang is in charge of the Nuggets' offense and will never pass the ball inside.
Garrett's offensive coverage is completely catastrophic under the coverage of the twin towers. Letting him attack is a waste of opportunity, it is better to give an outside shot.
When Bill Hanzlick was suspended, he hoped that the team would play in more and was directly backed by Li Liang.
The coach doesn't speak directly, it's up to you.
In the first quarter, Li Liang made 4 of 6 3-pointers and Jackson made 1 of 2 3-pointers.
Although the offensive success rate is not as good as the Spurs, but the score was bitten, tied 26:26.
Duncan only scored two points in the first quarter on low post singles and had three assists. Anyway, he played very selflessly.
Since I'm double-teamed, I will definitely pass the ball.
Then, Li Liang did not rest, and continued to play the second quarter.
He also has an important third step plan, which is to fight Duncan down.
Of course, instead of giving him one and another elbow as Malone said, it was Duncan who fouled.
This will test Li Liang's acting skills and foul-making ability.
In the first quarter, Duncan fouled once.
Throughout the game, Duncan's foul control was very good.
It can only be said that the Nuggets' firepower is too weak to be worth the foul.
In the second quarter, when Duncan took a break, Li Liang continued to play on the court.
This time Li Liang did not throw a three-pointer. He started assisting, responding and passing the ball.
The Nuggets are very easy to attack on this side. After a pick-and-roll, if they have a chance, they will jump or throw.
They did not grab the offensive rebounds and retired.
This was all directed by Li Liang on the court, giving him tired, and being a player and coach.
The defense needs to roar, and the offense must also rely on roaring, roaring, really raising the morale of the Nuggets.
This is Li Liang's fourth step, to boost the morale of the team and inspire the players' potential.
Weak to strong, rely on a breath, especially at home.
When the Nuggets had a feeling of momentum in the second quarter, Popovich called for a timeout and replaced Duncan.
At this time, Popovich was not the witty Popovich afterwards. He was criticized on the spot.
The situation on the Nuggets side is very obvious, that is, the outside line soared three points, plus personal surprise penetration.
Popovich met Li Liang's unreasonable pick-and-roll three-pointer, and really didn't know what to do.
It's okay, just go to Duncan.
As a result, Duncan just got up and fouled the offense first.
He took the ball in the low post and Li Liang came to wrap it. Instead of using his hands and feet, he wrapped it with his face.
When Duncan raised his hand and turned, Li Liang was hit with an elbow.
Li Liang covered his face and fell to the ground. With a very painful look, he nearly hit two rolls on the ground.
The referee blew the whistle and blew Duncan an offensive foul. Duncan looked stunned. My sister hit him.
The referee knows you didn't hit, but from his point of view, Duncan's elbow really rubbed Li Liang.
Li Liang fell to the ground, it must have been hit.
Seeing the referee sounding the whistle, Li Liang got up from the ground, and pretended to cover his lips and wiped it, a bleeding look.
In fact, there is no fart, just pretend.
Duncan fouled twice, and Li Liang still had a chance.
It's not easy to deceive the NBA referee. Without a certain amount of strength as a foundation, you can only laugh.
Li Liang's approach is to make a three-pointer to attract Duncan's defense.
Li Liang was out of the game, anyway, his [three-point shot] ability value came up.
He did not go to cover, let Garrett come out to cover him.
Take a step away from the three-point line to make a screen, and then directly three-point shot.
No one expected this distance, but the result was in!
The 7-of-5 score was three, and Li Liang felt good tonight.
If the feel is not good and you can't vote, whatever you think of is a toss.
Li Liang also took advantage of the lack of control that the defense had on the three-pointer.
Li Liang carefully studied the 1998 Spurs' defensive style.
Because of the twin towers, the Spurs in 1998 have the best protection in the league and the best protection in the backcourt.
The backcourt rebounds and average blocks per game ranked first and second in the league.
At the same time, their steals are the penultimate in the league, and their opponent assists are also the penultimate in the league.
Explain that they focus on pinching the opponent's transfer ball on the defensive end, do not oppressively defend the attacker, and do not make gambling steals.
It can be said that this kind of defensive thinking lasted for 20 years in the Spurs, on this basis Popovich patched every year.
It is precisely because of this defensive strategy that the Spurs are particularly afraid of mid-range singles-represented by Kobe.
Unreasonable one-on-one mid-range shots, can hit the Spurs full of bags.
Not to mention three-pointers, the league experienced a shortening of three-pointers in the mid-1990s, resulting in a large increase in the number of three-pointers. In the 1997-1998 season, the three-point line was changed back to the original distance.
The Spurs had a three-point loss in 1995 and were defeated by the Rockets in the Western Conference finals.
It is because the three-point line is shortened, the rocket's three-point fire is fully open, and the Spurs are insufficiently resisted.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Popovich to say that he hates three-pointers.
This season, the three-point line returned to 7.25 meters, which means that the difficulty of three-point shots has increased greatly, making the three-point era late for more than a decade.
But Li Liang is different. He surpassed this era. Popovich did not expect this man to be so accurate.
In the second quarter, when Li Liang had another pick-and-roll and got a shot in neutral, Duncan couldn't bear it and came up to help defense.
This doesn't work.
Li Liang knew that Duncan had taken the bait. He first cast one and didn't enter.
The Spurs grabbed a backboard to counterattack, Duncan received the ball from the basket, Li Liang stepped forward and fouled.
His foul was very fierce, and he almost removed Duncan's arm.
On the free-throw line, Duncan scored 1 and Duncan only scored 3 points so far.
The Nuggets 33:31, two points ahead of the Spurs.
After a minute, the two sides each scored a goal.
The Nuggets attacked again, Li Liang received the ball from the top of the arc and made a color at the Garrett.
Garrett came over to pick and roll, and Duncan followed again, changing defense.
Li Liang was about to take the ball and Duncan leaned in. Li Liang shook Duncan with a fake move.
Duncan saw that Li Liang hadn't voted and knew it was bad, but it was too late.
Li Liang bumped into Duncan, then shot and fouled.
The referee blew the whistle, and Popovich turned around on the sidelines. In the second quarter, he played less than five minutes, and Duncan made three offenses!
What should I do, the next time I sit down, Popovich can only make substitutions.
Li Liang worked hard and finally corrected Duncan.
With this step, the plan is half done.
However, there is no absolute thing about the game. There is still more than half of the game. The Spurs are not only one Duncan.
The Spurs replaced the bench inside Karl Herrera, a former backup center for the Rockets.
In Weber's mission, Li Liang played the game with him.
When he saw the change of Herrera, Li Liang chuckled and thought, saying that Popovich's on-the-spot command in the early years was poor, as expected.
The Nuggets' three points are all cast like this, and they are still on the traditional inside.
In those years, one big and four small, three-point shooting inside is very rare.
In order to protect the basket and protect the rebound, there must be two inside players on the court.
This time the Nuggets can continue their outside shooting.
The Nuggets' offense has been brought up by Li Liang, and the players have started singles.
Bobby Jackson, Stitch, Williams are all singles capable.
Their head coach, Bill Hanzlick, wanted the team to play tactics in the first game.
The Nuggets in the 1980s were an offensive civilian team very good at shooting and tactics.
But now how can this Nuggets have the same staffing as you did when you hit the Spurs and ask for swords?
No wonder they made an 11 wins and 71 losses. After a year, they stopped playing. It wasn't the head coach's expectation.
The Nuggets took the opportunity to play a 15:3 super attack wave in the second half of the second quarter and pulled the score away.
In the original game, the Spurs were 7 points behind in the first half.
Then, in the second half, the Nuggets couldn't find the North.
Li Liang now wants the Nuggets to lead as much as possible in the first half before qualifying for splurge in the second half.
At 56:41, the Nuggets' 15-point advantage ended the first half.
At the end of the half, the audience was already full, cheering for each of the Nuggets' goals.
During the halftime, Bill Hanzlick did not speak much, and the team listened to Li Liang's command.
According to Bill Hanzlick, the team should seek stability, start from the defense, grind the position and maintain the advantage.
Li Liang vetoed his proposal flatly, demanding that the team continue to attack in the second half.
Shrinking ahead? As far as your Nuggets lineup and defensive ability are concerned, can you hold it down?
You think you are the Detroit Pistons.
So, after the start of the second half, the Nuggets did not change their style of play and continued to attack.
But in the second half, their shooting percentage dropped significantly, and the Spurs' defense began to gain strength.
Li Liang knew that the time for tricks and tricks had passed and it was time to fight the bayonet again.
Li Liang and Garrett exchanged counterpoints and started a real one-on-one match against Duncan.
In the first half, Duncan was trapped in pain and wasn't alive for a long time.
One-on-one defense, Li Liang can't prevent Duncan, but he has momentum!
It doesn't matter if you are scored, you can't lose your momentum, you can't be discouraged, you can't relax.
On the offensive end, Li Liang continued the strategy of replacing quantity with quality, and made a crazy three-point shot from the outside.
As long as there is a little chance, after a pick-and-roll, you can throw it.
Three-point shooting has plummeted.
However, as long as they invest, the Nuggets earn.
Putting 10 into 3 is equivalent to 50% of the Spurs' offensive success rate.
The point difference has been narrowed down a little bit, but at every critical moment, Li Liang can use the three-pointer to return color.
Popovich has never seen this style of play before.
The previous three-point brigade rockets, that is because they have Olajuwon this super strong pin.
Playing Inside-out, the outside line took the opportunity to vote again.
This Li Liang, he threw a little outside the gap, he can throw in.
This is a bit scary, how to prevent it? He can also pass the ball and can only defend.
The defender of Li Liang is Elliott. He is a bit defensive in the defensive style. The Warriors Barnes are particularly like him in terms of play style and body.
As soon as he saw Elliott like Barnes, Li Liang was true, and it was Barnes!
Barnes was inexplicably shot.
Li Liang made 5 of 12 three-pointers in the third quarter, throwing his three-pointer to numb his arm.
But it also made Popovich's scalp numb, ending the third quarter, the Nuggets 85:76, 9 points gap into the fourth quarter.
Duncan scored 5 points in the third quarter, a total of 8 points.
Li Liang knew that he was getting closer and closer to the completion of the task.
Bill Hanzlick wants to replace Li Liang for a while.
How could Li Liang not rest, as long as he stands on the field, it is a huge threat to the Spurs.
In fact, Li Liang can take a break, because the momentum of the Nuggets has been fully up.
In the first game of the season, the players had plenty of energy and high morale. Jackson and Stitch played.
The Spurs are a bit disgraced, and their defense was missed by Li Liang's three-pointer. There was no sense of hierarchy.
After re-entry, when Li Liang came up and shot a three-point arc from the front through the heart of the basket, Popovich couldn't help it.
Shout a pause!
This fourth quarter only started, you can't stand Bobo?
It's useless to call a timeout~EbookFREE.me~ After Li Liang didn't score anymore, he wholeheartedly defended Duncan.
He used all his remaining three foul chances, preferring Duncan to the free throw line rather than allowing him to score.
When Duncan made two free throws and scored 9 points in the last minute, Li Liang knew that this time he won!
In the end, the buzzer sounded, and in a cheer, the Nuggets played 118:108 at home and beat the Spurs with a 10-point advantage.
Duncan scored 9 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 6 assists.
As soon as the game ended, Li Liang was exhausted and collapsed to the ground. He had no rest for one minute in 48 minutes of the game!
