Chapter 707: Undercurrent surge

This prop is not good for Li Liang, but it is definitely a very useful thing.
Ever since entering the league, after obtaining the [three-point hit rate improvement post] through the task, this useful prop has been accompanied by Li Liang, becoming a big consumer of anger.
In the Lakers and Clippers, Li Liang's three-pointer is extremely deadly.
But after arriving at the Pacers, a three-pointer was not enough.
Because many teams have seen through now, this is Ka Liliang.
Two people, three people and even four people guard, and the others are destined.
JR, Granger and others are not stable enough to kill their opponents.
Therefore, Li Liang had to develop more offensive methods.
In addition to breakthroughs and emergency stop jumpers, the sharpest weapon left is, of course, a mid-range jumper.
This strongest offensive technique throughout basketball history seems to be abandoned by the league in an era where three-pointers are increasingly valued.
Because according to data analysis, the use of three-pointers and offense with the basket, as well as free throws, is the most efficient way of scoring.
In terms of big data, the efficiency of medium distance is the lowest, especially for two points.
But the game is not entirely composed of data, data is the result, not the process.
The power of the middle distance has been proven time and time again in the NBA playoffs.
Last season, the Clippers were able to withstand the dead, in addition to Li Liang's three-pointer, and Paul's mid-range pocket.
Not to mention the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's MVP season, the best CIC master in history.
Even with James, his shooting is not stable, and there is Wade, who can shoot in the playoffs.
Anyway, the regular season feels punctual and inaccurate, and when it is needed, it will scare people to death.
Now Li Liang's teammates have no such midfield master in the backcourt.
JR, Granger, and West are all very good, but they can't hold it, they can't afford it.
So Li Liang has more and more mid-range jumpers in the game.
It is usually combined with his emergency stop jumper after a breakthrough, a 45-degree board, or a catch shot after a screen.
If there is only a three-pointer, no one will give him space. With two or three people in front of him, he is a fairy and he can’t maintain a high percentage of hits.
And this [Middle-range hit rate improvement post (a)] can maintain the effect of 10 minutes, basically can support a half period of time, even if there is a pause.
Just go to the exchange center to see the price-this system is really getting darker.
Fortunately, the day before yesterday Li Liang received a lot of anger in the Quick Loan Center.
The quality of Cleveland's fans is poor. I still remember Laozi in the regular season. I think I brought Paul George to you.
When he reached the Eastern Conference finals, he turned a blind face and began to boo Li Liang in the game.
Of course Li Liang doesn't matter. The more people who boo him, the better. It's better to be able to scold each other at that time, then he will be happy.
At the start of the game, the Pacers' starting lineup has changed compared to the previous game.
Kevin Garnett replaced Danny Granger as the starter and took the fourth position.
And Li Liang came to his familiar No. 3 position, focusing on small forward.
Eat a grain and grow a wisdom.
When playing the Bulls in the semifinals, Bird was determined not to change, because he believed that Li Liang could hold on to the fourth position.
But after the third game in the Eastern Conference finals, he still had to put Li Liang in the third position because he didn't believe the referee would let Li Liang go.
The fourth position is still too dangerous. On the road, I would rather sacrifice a bit of the overall offense, but also strengthen the defense, while protecting the absolute core of Li Liang.
The Cavaliers' start has not changed from the previous three games.
Jumping the ball, McGee took the lead to get the ball and the Pacers started their first attack of the game.
As soon as the opening began, the Pacers' offense was a bit uncomfortable.
The continuous transmission of the outside line was broken by the Cavaliers when it was given to the bottom corner.
A lot of offensive time has passed. In the end, free throws came out of the bottom line. To the inside, Garnett missed a jumper.
The disadvantage of not playing one big or four small is that the transfer ball on the offensive end is not so smooth, and the space is obviously not open.
The Cavaliers got a rebound in the backcourt, James walked lightly through the half and stopped the mid-range jumper!
Hitting iron...
Both sides missed the first attack.
Later, on the Pacers side, Li Liang took a jump shot from the basket and missed a jumper.
After returning to the third position this time, Li Liang and James were on top from the beginning.
It's a meaning for the two to fight each other.
Then, Irving caused Hill's foul on the offense. The free throw line made two free throws and the Cavaliers started 2:0.
Immediately, Garnett made a 45-degree pick-and-roll on the left side, receiving Hill's pass and hitting a mid-range jumper.
After Garnett switched to the starter, his mid-range jumper must be developed and utilized, otherwise the Pacers' offense will be very difficult.
Garnett then hit a 24-second buzzer mid-range, opening the game with 4 points.
Compared with the previous game, the two sides clearly understand each other's offensive routines, and there are a lot fewer positions lost in defense.
This also makes the offensive on both sides more fragmented and dependent on personal ability.
Garnett scored two mid-ranges, and the Cavaliers' Irving hit consecutive breakouts.
Blatter has realized that this point must be exploded on the offensive end, it must be pressed against Hill.
Because Irving basically has a negative effect on the defensive end, he may be attacked by the opponent at any time, so he has to hide it.
If he can't use his singles advantage on the offensive end, this point is completely wasted.
So, after the opening, the Cavaliers kept giving Irving a single, letting him find an offensive feeling.
Irving did feel outstanding at home. He controlled the ball and walked like a snake, so Hill, who is known for his defense, couldn't keep it.
And he ended up at the end, and he was exceptionally superb. Garnett came to help defense and could not stop him.
Irving scored 6 points in the opening game.
But except for Irving, the Cavaliers were dumbfounded.
Paul George, who also achieved an explosion in the last game, opened the game with 3 0...
Two of those missed shots, Li Liang caught counterattack and countered the Cavaliers a 6:0.
At 12:6, the Pacers had a 6-point lead.
James and Li Liang scored nothing in this wave of confrontation.
James had one steal and one assist, while Li Liang had two rebounds and two assists.
Both seem to be secretly charging.
The Cavaliers did not call a timeout, James took the ball at the right 45 degrees and took Li Liang back.
The Pacers came online and interfered. It was JR-Smith. James immediately gave the ball to George. George took a three-point shot and finally scored!
This is a thirst quencher.
Li Liang felt very depressed and asked JR after serving, "Do you look down on me?"
"No, how dare I look down on you?"
"Then why do you help defense? Do I want you to help defense?"
"I... I'm used to it."
"You're used to a fart, did you come when it's time to defend?"
Li Liang shook his head. Smith was actually still very positive, but it wasn't the time for the positive.
The James team has always been unencumbered, and envelopment is an opportunity to show him the passing skills.
After the Cavaliers contributed a high-intensity defense, Li Liang doubled the ball, and Li Liang passed the ball to Garnett. James dislocated to Garnett and almost broke the ball.
In the end, Li Liang ran to the right corner to catch the ball. In the case of a double-court, he forced a three-pointer to hit.
Li Liang's response came quickly, and as soon as the goal was scored, Cavaliers players and fans took a breath.
Is the Indiana combine harvester about to start?
In the last round of the series, Li Liang used his three consecutive points and an emergency stop board jumper to win the reputation of the Chicago Typewriter.
Now someone calls him an Indiana combine harvester, which depends on when his three-pointer starts to burst.
But after this 3-pointer, EbookFREE.me~ Li Liang did not continue to show his superb 3-pointer skills.
He put more energy on defense, coping, and defense on the outside.
He seems to have returned to the one he was in the Lakers, invisible in the team as a whole, but you don't know when he will show sharp fangs.
What's more, he now has more than one sharp tooth.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides played unsurprisingly, the Pacers 27:23, leading the Cavaliers by 4 points.
The Pacers are more blooming, and Garnett has a long time, scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, and once blocked.
JR-Smith hit a three-pointer, Hill continued to attack Irving this point, although Irving scored 10 points, but Hill also scored 6 points.
The two sides are already quite familiar with their tactical habits, without the "rustiness" of the first three games, and feel that the game is playing smoothly.
But everything was hidden under a peaceful surface, and the undercurrents surging.
