Chapter 626: Let me defend

After inviting Kobe to eat, the Pacers faced the Los Angeles Lakers at Conseco Arena at 7 pm the next day.
Li Liang is a credible person. Since he said he was going to kill the Lakers, he would definitely try his best to kill the Lakers.
Of course, Li Liang will not take this game lightly. In terms of strength, the Lakers this season are much stronger than the start of last season.
From the paper lineup alone, the Lakers are Howard, Boozer, Wiggins, Kobe and Jeremy Lin.
This is a well-known and talented person.
In the summer, the Lakers used the limited space to supplement the famous and popular players Boozer and Jeremy Lin. Together with the top pick Wiggins, the Lakers fans increased their confidence in the Lakers in the new season.
After the start of the new season, the Lakers did play quite well. Although they did not reach the starting streak in 2013, they still maintained their record in the first half.
However, this lineup has a significant flaw, that is, the defensive problem is more prominent.
Jeremy Lin and Boozer are not good defensive players.
The Lakers' defense is basically supported by Howard, and Bryant can occasionally show the defensive style of players, most of the time to direct traffic.
Without Li Liang followed by scolding, plus the coach is De Anthony, the Lakers' defense is not good.
If the defense is not good, the record will be unstable.
The Lakers' record has slipped to the sixth position in the West.
In the opening ceremony, when DJ shouted Kobe's name, there was a loud cheer bursting out at the scene.
Kobe's popularity is still very, very high. There are a lot of fans and fans all over the United States, not to mention the world. The number of Kobe = the total population of the world + 200 million.
As for where the 200 million yuan came from, no one knows.
The game started on time, and the Pacers were McGee, David West, JR Smith, Li Liang plus Gaslong.
After David West returned, Bird decided to push Stephenson to the bench to play the sixth man.
This is a correct choice. When Finsen sits on the bench, Li Liang's pressure can be much less.
From three stupid to two stupid, and a good helper like David West, he can focus more on the offense.
In the jump ball, McGee took the lead and set the ball to Li Liang.
It's not easy. McGee sometimes jumped the ball very high at the beginning, and the ball was also set. It was directly dialed to the opponent, or it was sometimes thrown out of bounds and sometimes hit Li Liang's head.
Li Liang doubted whether McGee had hatred against himself, or that God saw him living too moist and sent him to punish him.
Let him taste the suffering of life.
After getting the ball steadily this time, Li Liang was relieved and started to organize the offense through the dribble.
The Lakers faced a problem at the opening, who will defend Li Liang?
Now for the league's teams, defending Li Liang has become a big problem.
He has the height of the 4th position, the skill of the 3rd position, the shooting ability of the 2nd position, the organization ability of the 1st position, and occasionally goes to the top of the 5th position, a free man on the court.
Whoever you use to defend alone is basically not easy to use.
Leonard, the best single defense player in the small forward position in the league, was cast a psychological shadow by Li Liang.
Needless to say to others.
The teams are studying carefully and making it clear that Li Liang's one-on-one singles ability is not super strong.
This is also the difference between Li Liang and many scorers.
People like Tracy McGrady, Anthony, Kobe, etc. are all top players.
When the tactics cannot be played, they can play one by one and directly use their personal abilities to score points on the opponent.
In fact, Li Liang rarely has a one-on-one match with a team.
It was only that he was too accurate in shooting, the offensive options were extremely fine, and he was good at stealing chickens and dogs, and often used some inexplicable, long-lost offensive means, and scored some magical goals, so that he scored a lot.
Therefore, the current consensus of the teams is that the best way to deal with Li Liang is "just find a personal defense, and other people to assist defense."
The person who proposed this strategy was Celtic coach Stevens. If it were not for Li Liang to use the [steel body] suit against the Celtics, the Greens' defense strategy against Li Liang was still Very successful.
The Lakers also want to steal, but there is no such condition!
D'Antoni directly sent Wiggins one-on-one to defend Li Liang. Anyway, you are also a small forward. You defend.
In terms of figure, Wiggins was a full circle smaller than Li Liang.
Li Liang has changed from being a little thin when he first entered the league to becoming a small muscle bully now.
Today, Li Liang also wore [Steel Body] at the opening, full of strength all over.
After half a scene to Wiggins, without a word, rush one!
Li Liang's breakthrough is not brilliant, without too much skill, his dribble level determines that the breakthrough is a victory without losing the ball.
Therefore, he relied on his own strength, directly hitting Wiggins from the right to the basket.
Wiggins felt like he was hit by a tractor, and then he was like a stalk of corn in the corn field, and was overturned by the tractor.
Inside Howard came to assist in defense, Li Liang made a high throw and gave McGee free.
McGee jumped high, catching the air relay with both hands, and dunked!
The opening ceremony gave a big gift to let the Lakers and their top picks feel the energy of the Indians.
The opening dunk immediately lit the atmosphere of Conseco Arena.
A good start, the morale of the Pacers is very strong.
For the Lakers' first attack, Carlos Boozer made a low singles.
Boozer hit David West, and after a continuous dribble on the back, he didn't ask for anything cheap. Boozer chose to roll over with a crooked machine gun like a jumper, but he missed.
McGee got stuck in the basket and Li Liang grabbed a rebound in the backcourt.
Li Liang gave JR-Smith, Smith broke through the rim in the middle, but the ball was knocked out from behind by Kobe. Finally, Smith hit the bottom line and the Lakers scored.
To fight fast, such mistakes will inevitably occur.
But soon, JR Smith made up for it, stealing Kobe's pass on the defensive end.
The Pacers counterattacked again. This time Li Liang did not pass the ball again, but instead went straight to the basket from the middle after receiving the ball. In the face of Howard, they rushed forward. When the two collided in the air, Li Liang Still throwing the ball out, a backboard jumper from close range hits, and at the same time caused Howard's foul!
After Howard fouled, he showed his hand to the referee with another innocent expression.
Li Liang stepped forward to persuade, "It's really a foul, don't complain, you are not me."
Howard grinned helplessly, "You are strong again, kid."
Howard felt that he should be able to suppress Li Liang. He didn't expect that he would not suppress any fouls. He also made him succeed in a three-pointer.
How did he become so strong in just two years
Nonsense, Li Liang practiced and took medicine in the system, and also wore a prop costume, can you not touch you?
The penalty was hit and the Pacers started 5:0.
The Lakers still look at Kobe.
Offensive position, after consecutive passes and low post, the Lakers couldn't find a better chance and gave Kobe Bryant the top of the arc, with only three seconds left.
Kobe Bryant did not hesitate to make a three-pointer from the three-point line.
Hit!
A far-reaching three-pointer broke the Lakers' offensive deadlock.
After scoring, Kobe shouted to Li Liang, "It's not just you who can cast too far!"
Kobe wanted to stimulate Li Liang, let him also cast a long distance, and anger with himself.
But Li Liang will be stimulated by you like this?
He didn't cast it blindly, he knew it was not time yet.
Li Liang still chose to break the ball by himself. This time it was David West who came over for a pick-and-roll screen.
As soon as West screened~EbookFREE.me~ this Boozer's defense was a big loophole, his lateral movement was really slow.
As a result, Li Liang reached the inside again. This time Howard did not dare to foul. He could only watch Li Liang make a quick stop jumper and scored two points, 7:3.
The Pacers' opening 7 points are all related to Li Liang. It can be seen that the Lakers can't take Li Liang's point.
Sure enough, then the Lakers had another pass error on the offensive end, Jeremy Lin attacked too quickly, and Howard was intercepted by McGee.
Li Liang stabilized, still playing the position, continue to pick and roll cooperation with West.
This time Boozer and Li Liang walked in, Li Liang hit the ground and passed the ball to West, and West received the mid-range jumper shot and hit!
The defense of the Lakers was stabbed by Li Liang alone.
D'Antoni called for a timeout. Although he knew it would be useless to call a timeout, he still had a meaning.
On the Lakers bench, Bryant said directly: "Let me defend against Bruce."
