Chapter 628: The road is still long

Li Liang wants to say that he is self-taught, and Mike Brown will come out first and disagree.
If I didn't let you learn, can you master so many skills?
Fortunately, Mike Brown didn't hear it. At this time, he was sitting off the field to discuss the team's defensive strategy with Vogel.
Byrd, as a cold, irrelevant head coach, the main tactical aspects of the team are handed over to two assistant coaches.
In terms of strength, both Brown and Vogel are head coaches and have proven themselves in the position of head coach.
And the two are known for their good defense, but they have different defense concepts.
Not only different, it can be said to be very different.
Mike Brown is particularly obsessed with double-teaming, assist defense, and space compression. This is a typical Spurs defense.
And Vogel came out of Kentucky, who is the old patriarch of Kentucky? Adolf Rupp, the godfather of the brown clothes.
What is Rupp’s most famous? It's not just his man-to-man defense, which promotes this simplest and original defensive strategy.
Li Liang was also trained with coach Rupp in the system. He has a deep understanding of the essence of man-to-man defense, and it is also very helpful for improving his defensive awareness.
Vogel has inherited Rupp's defensive thinking and has built the Pacers into a strong adult-to-man defense in the past few seasons.
Well now, the Pacers lineup is different from the past, coach Brown and Vogel have diverged on how to develop a defensive strategy.
This disagreement was not resolved during the offseason.
At that time, because the team changed its style and took the offensive route, there was no in-depth discussion.
As the Pacers began to regain defense recently, the two coaches began to worry about defensive strategies.
Brown believes that we should take the line of collective defense, play the core role of Li Liang's defense, and use sweeping defense to reduce the opponent's offensive fluency and hit rate.
Vogel believes that Li Liang has been under a lot of pressure on the offensive end, and he should be decompressed on the defensive end.
Man-to-man pressure is the most uniform for a single defensive player, and the stability of the defense is very good.
The two couldn’t argue, and Bird didn’t participate in the dispute.
After Li Liang came on stage in the second quarter, he played Kobe with Buddha.
Then, on the offensive end, Bryant began to be blocked by the Pacers defense.
At this time, Kobe Bryant gave Clarkson a chance by promptly transferring the ball, allowing Clarkson to find a chance in the bottom corner on the right and hit a three-pointer.
Vogel saw Clarkson make a three-pointer, turned his head to look at Brown, and gave him a look, as if to say, "Look, your defensive strategy is not good."
Brown pushed his glasses and didn't speak. The two coaches were just as angry as the children.
Bird's opponent's "contradiction" between his two generals still saw nothing.
He knew when to solve the problem, anyway, not now.
Kobe continued the good state of the first quarter.
And Li Liang's condition is equally good. He let go of his firepower and faced Kobe's defense without any hesitation.
"Wow!" Did not hit the iron.
It doesn't matter if you don't enter, Li Liang also said to Kobe, "Salute to you."
The Lakers have a good chance to fight back, but this time Li Liang personally came to defend Bryant.
In this node of the game situation conversion, Li Liang has never skimped on his skills, whether it is the beginning or the final stage of the game.
Grasping these nodes, I can hold the trend of the game.
Therefore, Li Liang immediately released [Death Coil]!
A strong breath surrounded Kobe. Kobe felt a stiff body, but he still protected the ball.
But Li Liang still touched the ball and poke the ball from Bryant.
After all, Kobe is very experienced. He immediately blocked Li Liang with his body and prevented him from going to the ball.
Both of them fell to the ground. At this moment, Danny Granger had a quick eye, rushed over to pick up the ball, and shot towards the frontcourt.
Clarkson pursued and defended, but where Clarkson could stop Granger, Granger jumped in the three-second area and a direct dunk succeeded!
Conseco Arena is full of joy, Danny Granger is really back!
He is not just a person who is back, his performance, his state, his heart is back together!
This goal is definitely a morale boost, Granger dunks, and Li Liang steals.
After Granger scored, he stepped forward and Li Liang gave a high-five.
He feels that since he met Li Liang, his basketball life has changed.
The Lakers' counterattack momentum was interrupted, and Kobe's good condition was also cut off by Li Liang's steal.
Kobe Bryant immediately played two irons, including a three-point three-point non-stick, proving that he is really Kobe.
And Li Liang seemed to be infected by Kobe, and he didn't make a shot.
However, the Pacers maintained their advantage in the first half, ending the half with 59:50 and 9 points.
Kobe scored 20 points at halftime, as if returning to his peak.
Of course, in the second half of the second quarter, he even played three railways, which made people feel like they were back to the top.
Li Liang was influenced by Kobe. He shot only 6 of 15 shots in the half and scored 15 points. He also had 5 assists and 2 steals.
The Pacers played best with Granger. He shot 4 of 5 from the half and scored 10 points, making him the most efficient substitute on the team.
Seeing Granger's performance, Bird was already considering whether to send him up.
It was really amazing. Granger returned to the Pacers to recover so quickly and so well. It was a miracle of life.
Bird, where do you know that this is not a miracle of life, but a miracle of science, science!
During the intermission, Mike Brown and Vogel are still debating whether to use space-pressure rotation as the main defense, or whether it is mainly man-to-man defense.
The two chattered endlessly, and when they were training, they often quarreled.
They are black, one white, one fat, one thin, one wears glasses, one does not wear glasses, one is a man who loves to laugh, and one is an unsmiling coach who feels naturally a pair of contradictions.
Li Liang was a bit annoyed by the listening, this game is still playing!
"OK, OK, what are you arguing about, can't you just mix and beat people and turn people around?"
Both Brown and Vogel faced question marks. Man-to-man is man-to-man, and turn-turn defense is turn-turn defense. How do two completely defensive defensive strategies mix together?
Li Liangdao: "According to my command, I said that if you mark people as people, then you rotate, or if other people mark people, I'm responsible for rotating and defending everything. Isn't it over?"
Li Liang said it was easy, in fact, in the game, the defense tactics want to switch freely, it is basically impossible to achieve.
This is a bit too demanding on players' tactical literacy and unrealistic.
However, Li Liang's next sentence reminded Brown that other people can not rotate. Li Liang can rotate by himself, right?
Brown fell into thought, and Vogel thought about it.
Byrd still ignored the two, simply arranged the tactical points of the second half, and decided on a rotation plan in his heart.
Granger's playing time is going to be longer. The first half gave him 10 minutes, which is very efficient.
Bird felt that it could be increased to 15 minutes, 30 minutes in a game.
If his performance continues to pick up, he can be considered for promotion.
Of course, Bird did not consider Granger to replace Smith, Smith's play is still very good.
Bird was thinking about whether to let Li Liang play the fourth position, Granger to play the third position, and one to four.
Li Liang must know that Byrd's idea must be scolded again, is it so difficult for me to play a small forward?
In the third position, I blocked the coaches' feng shui money eyes, right?
I just want to squat at ease!
Bird seemed to know Li Liang's possible reaction, so he said nothing.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the first goal, the Lakers handed the ball to Howard to eat McGee.
Howard's low strength is still there, so after hitting McGee, a small hook hit and scored two points.
On the Pacers side, Sloan held the ball and quickly counterattacked the inside to attract the defense to transfer the ball to the top of the arc.
Li Liang catches the ball and makes a hand pass to the Smith who comes over from the wing plus a screen.
A hole was torn through the Lakers' left defense.
Smith made a three-pointer with an empty seat!
Soaring hit!
On the Lakers side, Kobe continued to feed Howard.
As a result, the ball just arrived in Howard's hand, Li Liang came from the side and back to wrap it, and broke the ball from Howard's hand!
As an old teammate, Li Liang is still very familiar with Howard's ball-holding habits, the third steal in this field.
Kobe shook his head straight, a big problem facing the Lakers now is that the details of the game are getting worse.
At the beginning of the season, a wave of talent and offense relied on. As the season progresses, these bad details are eating up the team's combat effectiveness.
Kobe couldn't help but miss Li Liang again.
When he was in the Lakers, he was absolutely excellent in controlling details, making few mistakes and making few mistakes.
Later, when he left the Lakers, when Li Liang began to need assists, there were more mistakes.
This season Li Liang has begun to control.
After he succeeded in stealing the ball, he quickly passed the half, but he was not frizzy at all.
Waiting for his teammates to fall on the wing, and found that McGee had a chance in the middle, Li Liang immediately threw a pass into the inside. After McGee received the ball, a big step went to the basket and he succeeded with one hand!
Howard has leaped to block, but McGee's height and wingspan are more outstanding, and he directly buckled one on Howard's head.
The ball was really beautiful, the Pacers gave the Lakers a shot in the third quarter.
In the third quarter, playing for four minutes, the Pacers opened the difference to 13 points, D'Antoni called a timeout.
After the timeout, the ball still has to be given to Bryant.
Kobe Bryant succeeded in killing the inside twice, succeeding in a layup and a foul.
Kobe's current breakthrough gives the impression that it takes a long time to charge up before it can be launched.
Unlike when you were young, you can do it at any time, and now you have to take it easy, feeling that your physical fitness is no problem.
Then the Lakers ushered in another bright spot in the third quarter, is the number one champion Wiggins.
In the first half, Wiggins had no points under Li Liang's defense.
After two unsuccessful attempts in the first quarter, Wiggins became very cautious about shooting choices.
Until the third quarter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Wiggins finally let go, let go of his hands and feet, in fact, his talent is really good.
When he seized the opportunity to break out in one step, Li Liang couldn't stop it.
After playing Li Liang three times in a row, Li Liang was really a bit ignorant.
On the third goal, Li Liang fouled while defending and sent Wiggins to the free throw line.
Unfortunately, the first penalty was missed... Wiggins closed his eyes, annoyed.
Before the second penalty, Li Liang walked over and said, "Play well, don't be impatient, the road is long."
After speaking, Wiggins seemed to relax and hit the second penalty.
The hit was a hit, but in the next game, Wiggins's hard work disappeared again...
It seems to have been approved by Li Liang, and I feel that there is no need to fight anymore.
Bruce Lee is right, young people don't be impatient, the road is still long.
