Chapter 26: Ball Blind Evaluator


   In the evening, Li Liang tried another Odom mission. He tried his best to entangle Odom in the audience.
   But Odom finally scored 15 points, only a short distance from the mission goal, but this made Li Liang feel so difficult.
   An NBA player, with a little strength, staying on the court, as long as there is enough time and the number of shots, it is relatively simple to score 10 points.
  Fish teams like the Clippers just want to train rookies like Odom.
   So the coach kept him on the court and gave him enough shots.
  Odom is not like Durant this time, Durant's first show was already iron.
  Odom originally had a good feel and was in excellent condition. He wanted to score 30 points.
  Li Liang wants to contain him to 10 points, the difficulty can be imagined.
   From Wei Da to there, Li Liang was about to watch the video of the game. I watched it twice during the day, but it turned out to be useless.
   Once Li Liang entered the game, except for the opening, the progress of the whole game changed.
   The same is Odom's fiery feel and energy, as well as the Clippers' tactical arrangements.
  After the task failed, Li Liang felt a little sleepy again during the day. He knew he had to rest for two days.
  In Miami, they are going to stay for a week, and then go back in May.
  On the day of April 28, the NBA playoffs started at the American Airlines Center in Miami, and the four people attended the game as usual.
  The 2011-2012 shrinking season regular season ended, the Miami Heat with 46 wins and 20 losses once again won the second place in the East, they will face the New York Knicks in the first round.
   This is a very interesting series, because the Knicks' star is the 03th flower show, Cameron Anthony.
  03 The four strongest players of the platinum generation gathered in this round of the series, but the Heat had three people, James, Wade and Bosh.
   And Anthony is alone. There is an Amar-Stoudemire beside him. Unfortunately, Stoudemire is not as good as before due to injury.
"The Knicks lineup is still very good on the books. There are Tyson Chandler inside. You know how badly he hit the Heat in the finals last year. The guard, Baron Davis, has him in The Knicks are not afraid of Wade! Then Anthony, Stoudemire, JR Smith and Mike Bibby on the bench, such veterans are in the playoffs and they are playing."
   Before the game, Wei Dazhi made a big blow to the Knicks and said he was very optimistic about the Knicks.
   After all, LeBron James has become a public enemy after 10 years of decision.
   The 2011 finals lost to the Mavericks, James's poor performance hit him to the bottom, and now many people are preparing to watch James' jokes.
   In order to win the championship of the Big Three in the championship group, James could not survive.
  Li Liang doesn't matter who loses or wins. He likes basketball, but has no interest in chasing stars.
   He really wanted to see how the Heat are known for their defense this season. How to deal with Cameron Anthony in the outside counterpoint.
  The playoffs at the American Airlines Center were incredibly hot and completely different from the previous Orlando.
   The game started at 7pm and the 2012 playoffs kicked off.
  The intensity of the playoffs is very different from the regular season, and the two sides started a fierce confrontation at the beginning.
  The referee's whistle sounded very frequently, both sides are trying to judge the referee's scale, obviously the referee is more strict tonight.
  The Heat lacks inside height, but the outside defense is terrible. James and Wade are top outside defenders.
   Spoelstra's configuration for the Heat has created an extremely powerful outside rotation defense, their rotation is the best in the league.
On the Knicks side, Anthony is in a very normal state tonight, and the outside rotation of the Heat is almost everywhere.
   As long as he gets the ball into a position within 15 feet of the basket, the double must come up.
  Anthony passed the ball, but the outside teammates could not throw the ball.
  Anthony had to face James for a one-on-one pull-up jumper.
   is very unlucky. Tonight he has a bad feel, so he can't get in.
  The Heat took the opportunity to hit several counterattacks and pulled the score to 6 points in the first quarter.
   "I rely on, what and what did the Knicks play in this attack, on Bibi, on the white devil, shoot through the Heat!"
  Wei Dazhi was blindly commanding off the court. Anyway, Miami fans around him who spoke Chinese could not understand.
   In the second quarter, the Heat really replaced Mike Bibby. As a result, none of the outside shots and the defense could not keep up.
   The score gap has widened even more, because Anthony has been contained and the Knicks' offense has completely collapsed.
   "Oh, what and what are you playing here, what and what! You can't vote in!"
  Wei Dazhi watched Anthony playing iron again and again on the sidelines, anxiously scratching his ears.
  When the Knicks fell behind by more than 20 points in the third quarter, Wei Dazhi was completely desperate, knowing that the Knicks were finished, this time it was impossible to win.
  The Heat's morale increased in the cheering of the home fans, and the Knicks were defeated in one fell swoop, killing the New Yorkers with their steely defense.
   The final score was 100:67, the Knicks did not score more than the Heat in three quarters.
   If the Heat gave up defense in the fourth quarter and played casually, the Knicks' total score would only be lower.
   The core of the Knicks, Cameron Anthony, made only 3 of 15 shots, scoring 11 points, and the performance was quite bad.
In the    series, the Heat lead 1:0.

It’s okay. The first game of the playoffs is an away game. It’s normal to play well. Losing 1 point is the same as losing 30 points. Anyway, it’s 0:1. If the second game is won, the Knicks can It’s good to have home advantage, so it’s still good. Moreover, so many losses this time, but instead awakened the Knicks, according to the law of conservation of character, Anthony will definitely break out in the next game, which is a good thing. In the final, the Celtics slaughtered the Lakers for 40 points in the first game. What's the point? The Lakers were ashamed and brave and won the championship!"
   On the way back, Wei Dazhi cited the classics, and through various logical analyses, believed that the Knicks' defeat was not a bad thing, but it might be a good thing.
  Li Liang drove to watch Wei Dazhi, shook his head helplessly, and thought he was crazy again.
  Basketball is so magical that it can make a normal person feel excited, say black as white, white as purple, and logically consistent.
  Of course, basketball itself has great uncertainty, and the NBA is where the miracle was born.
   So, it's normal to be crazy.
  Li Liang does not care about the Heat and the Knicks win or lose, he has more gains.
   Heat's defense tonight gave him a lot of inspiration.
  He realized that he wanted to contain Odom in the 1999 game, and to suppress his score to 10 points, it was not enough to rely on him alone.
   He needs the help of his teammates, the help of the system, and then a little luck.
  After returning to the hotel, Li Liang picked up Wei Dazhi's computer and carefully watched the 1999-2000 supersonic games.
   In the 1990s, the Supersonics was also a strong defensive team.
  George Carl did not give up treatment at that time, as the Nuggets engaged in offensively, regardless of defense.
   The supersonic defensive characteristics are also simple, that is, relying on tall forward players, non-stop bag to hold the ball.
   This is a bit similar to this year's Heat, but the Heat inside is weaker, and the Supersonic dry inside is a good hand.
  The supersonic outside line has Gary Payton such a big lock.
  Although he is a point guard, he is physically strong, tall enough, and has many movements on his hands.
  Li Liang relied on himself to cope in two missions. He never used the supersonic defense system and called his teammates for help.
   Although the 2000 supersonic speed is no longer the defensive intensity of the mid-90s, but the foundation is still there.
  Li Liang thought that he should make good use of it, otherwise Odom was really difficult to deal with.
  As the administrator of the royal drinking fountain at the University of Kentucky bench, Li Liang's knowledge of tactical theory is still quite rich.
   And he is not a keyboard man like Wei Dazhi. He has really worked together in a high-level team and has a good understanding of tactics.
  He used to be a sparring player in the team, often playing a defensive role.
  So, with his mind in mind, he knew what to do.
   Back to the hotel at night, after turning off the lights to sleep, he entered the [Almighty King] system.
   [Welcome to the Almighty King Training Ground again. Visitor: Bruce Lee, 6-9, 230 lbs. 】
   During this period of exercise and play, Li Liang's weight increased to 230 pounds, and they are all muscles.
   still continued the task of [Containing Odom's First Show] and returned to the Staples Center. Peyton stood next to him chewing gum.
   "Defend the kid, you are not here to watch the ball." Payton still said this.
   This time Li Liangling moved, saying, "Boss, I think I need your help. I want to suppress him, Odom."
  Payton said: "Is there any grudge against him? That kid makes people look a little uncomfortable."
  Li Liang busy stubbornly said: "Yes, he just told me when I warmed up, I scored 30 points on my head, I told him it is impossible, Lao Tzu let you get 10 points at most."
   Payton said: "What are you talking about, 10 points? You shouldn't let him score. I will help you and give him a lesson."
  Li Liang smoothly said that he moved Payton, this old boy likes to bully the rookie, Odom hit the muzzle this time.
   It seems that every task of this system has a lot to ponder.
  If Li Liang hasn't talked to Payton all the time, maybe he will never be able to complete this task.
  After the game started, as before, Odom did not play much in the first quarter.
   But Li Liang was actively running and attacking. Although he didn't score a goal, it caused Odom a foul.
  Li Liang summed up that to defend the opponent on the defensive end, the offensive end must also cause trouble for the opponent.
   makes him foul, consumes his physical strength, disrupts his rhythm, can affect the opponent's attack.
  In the second quarter, this was when Odom showed his power. Payton was sitting off the court at this time, and Li Liang was beaten by Odom into two, 4 points.
   After the main players came back from rest, Payton began to assist Li Liang in defense.
  Odom likes to dribble the ball from the outside and cuts in. Li Liang gives way to the middle to let him go. Odom directly scores into the three-second zone.
  As soon as he raised his hand, the ball was gone.
  Payton assisted from the other side and directly cut off the ball from Odom.
   A successful defense, supersonic fast counterattack, Li Liang took the lead, received Payton's pass, layup!
   missed.
   Sorry, this goal can be scored, but it is not necessary.
   Anyway, the supersonic speed has already led, Li Liang did not want to add to the worse, just played one.
   "Play well, don't score this ball?"
  Payton complained, and turned back, because the score was not opened, he continued to assist defense.
  Li Liang still gave way to the middle, this time Odom did not walk, walked, and used his strength advantage to grind inside.
  In the previous game, Odom made several attempts with this trick, after running into the inside and hitting the space with his body, he made another small throw.
   This time Li Liang was ready and stood in position. Odom knocked Li Liang down with a "bang".
"Beep!"
   The referee blew his whistle and blew a foul on Odom.
   "Yes!" The successful foul Li Liang climbed up and re-entered the game.
   didn't make it twice, Odom of course was not convinced.
   At this time, he already had two fouls on his back, and two consecutive breakthroughs were unsuccessful, so he chose to jump shot directly after several trial steps from the outside.
   "When!" hit the iron.
   Direct pull-up jumpers are not Odom's strengths. His shots are not effective when they fail, and once they do not play well, the shot will not be accurate.
   As a rookie, Odom missed several offenses in a row. Even if it was a key training target, his teammates would not let him play.
  After all, his talent and team status still cannot reach the level of Durant and James.
  Li Liang is more and more defensive, not only cooperates with Payton seamlessly, but also establishes contact with the inside Hollis-Grant.
  When he was in Kentucky, Calipari emphasized defense. The defensive players kept shouting during the game.
  Because the offensive parties all face the basket, the bearer can see his teammates.
   The defender is a passive player. Most of the time, his back is against the basket, and the outside defenders often cannot see his teammates.
   If you do not shout and do not communicate, there will be various holes on the defensive end.
   Dealing with players like Odom who are flexible and versatile, with comprehensive skills, requires team assistance.
  At the end of the halftime, Odom scored a total of 4 points, and his mentality was somewhat shaken.
   In the original history, he played well in the second quarter, and the more he played later, the better his debut.
  Like rookie players, they have insufficient mentality and experience. They will not adjust in case of trouble in the game.
   In the third quarter, Odom stopped his offensive after attempting two three-point attempts from the perimeter, and his confidence had been lost.
   The supersonics slowly pulled the difference, Li Liang also hit two threes, he couldn't hold back.
  Because of the excellent defense, the Supersonics turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.
   Of course, Li Liang told George Karl not to change himself, as long as Odom was there, he would stay.
  Li Liang was careful not to foul, and then tried not to allow Odom to catch the ball, not to allow Odom to score points during garbage time.
   In the end, Odom was really anxious. During the attack, Li Liang pushed angrily and got a technical foul.
   Then he had a constant argument with the referee. This rookie who was already impulsive and showy was directly expelled from the referee.
   This time Li Liang was brisk and expelled, Odom's score stayed at 7 points.
  Before the end, Odom also asked Li Liang: "You have a problem with your brain? Why should you target me?"
  Li Liang just smiled and said, "Welcome to the NBA."
   The buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and Li Liangchang breathed a sigh of relief, sitting on the floor with a buttocks.
mission completed.
   Staples Arena slowly disappeared, fans and players were hidden in the darkness.
