Chapter 275: Bad layout

In 2003, Detroit Auburn Hills Palace Stadium, the first round of the first round of the playoffs.
Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic.
Li Liang's impression of this year's playoffs is still very deep.
Because this is the year he started to pay attention to NBA games.
In this year's three consecutive Lakers semi-finals, Kobe tears.
This year the Pistons reversed the Magic, but they are still not opponents of the New Jersey Nets.
This year, Duncan led the Spurs and began the most glorious years of the San Antonio people.
This year Yao Ming entered the NBA for the first time, unfortunately did not enter the playoffs.
In short, the 2002-2003 season was a year when many Chinese fans started to really pay attention to the NBA.
Li Liang stood on the floor of the Auburn Hills palace, warming up before the game, but did not think about those past things in his mind.
He just thought about how to deal with Tracy McGrady in this game.
There have been many games, it is time to pass this task.
The atmosphere at Auburn Hills Palace Stadium was extremely warm, and wild Detroit fans waved their white foam sticks wildly.
In a white ocean, the dark blue magic seemed a little helpless.
McGrady is undoubtedly the only focus of the Magic.
This season he averaged 32 points per game, while the team's second scorer, Gu Deng, averaged only 12 points.
Therefore, this is undoubtedly a team that relies heavily on McGrady.
If McGrady played well, the Magic had a chance to win.
Tracy McGrady played well, and the Magic was very dangerous.
After the appearance ceremony, the game started quickly.
The Magic starters are McGrady, Gooden, Jacques Vaughan, Gordon Gillisek and Andrew De Klerk.
To be honest, in this lineup, except for McGrady, there are some stinky fish.
In other words, Gooden has some strength and can worry for McGrady.
So in the first game, the Magic can win the Pistons, relying on the super of McGrady.
Other players, except Gooden scored 18 points, none of the remaining scored double figures.
For the Pistons, the starting lineup is Ben Wallace, Li Liang, Billups, Hamilton and Michael Curry.
Li Liang's replacement is Cliff Robinson, the trailblazer player who was once shrugged by Jordan into a three-pointer, an evergreen tree.
In terms of strength, Robinson is definitely there, otherwise he can not reach the age of 40 in the NBA.
However, Carlisle's starting lineup clearly didn't target McGrady defensively.
Billups is a point guard, Hamilton is a point guard, and Curry is a 6-foot-5 forward swingman.
Let him defend McGrady, and his height will be unqualified.
Then Carlisle didn't go to Prince in the first game. It wasn't until he was beaten by McGrady that he remembered the use of Prince as a young man.
Without targeted defense, or even a man who could match him, McGrady was supernatural.
The game started, Ben Wallace won the jump shot and the Pistons got their first offensive opportunity.
This first attack Li Liang has experienced several times, he stood at the bottom left corner akimbo after halftime.
Because the Pistons' first offensive choice was to let Ben Wallace play the ball in the low post on the right...
Li Liang is speechless about Carlisle's tactical arrangement.
In the first attack, the ball was transmitted outside for two or three times and was finally given to Wallace.
Wallace also turned his back to the top like a decent look, shook the defender with his footsteps, and finally ate a big cap of Gudeng from the defense!
The ball flew out of the bottom line and Wallace fell to the ground.
Li Liang stood at the bottom corner with his arms crossed, holding his forehead. In the previous game, he tried to correct the Pistons' first attack, but it was useless.
I really don't know what fairy tactics this is, maybe the Pistons are too light, I think the magic is easy to handle.
The ball is still on the Pistons side. Li Liang used the cover to slide the bottom line and ran to the bottom corner on the right. After catching the ball, he made a mid-range jump shot.
Hit!
A concise catch jumper scored two points.
This is called tactics, what did Carlisle plan to do with Wallace?
Of course, offense is not Li Liang's main task, defense is.
For the Magic's first attack, McGrady dribbled past half.
Li Liang did not post it because he knew that McGrady would not score the first goal.
Sure enough, after the Magic's continuous coordination on the outside, McGrady caught the ball on the back of the right wing and turned to beat Hamilton.
The forward leaning jumper turned inside was disturbed by Wallace and missed.
Li Liang scored a rebound in the backcourt.
In fact, McGrady has a lot of back attacks, and his back skills are also very good.
He has an extremely wide shoulders and a very long wingspan. One or two players can't defend him at all.
Then the Pistons counterattacked and Hamilton caused a foul.
After that, Hamilton used the running position to run out of space on the left side, catching the ball and trying to jump shot.
Gilisek rushed forward and shot the ball out from a side cover.
Not long after the game started, the Magic had blocked it twice.
This is the playoffs, or the 2003 playoffs with stronger defense.
Even a weak chicken like the Magic, every player will do their best in the playoffs.
Maybe the regular season is just reaching out to interfere with the defense, and in the playoffs it is to try hard to block.
Here is the east, the style of the team is defensive supremacy, the intensity can be seen.
But Li Liang is not afraid.
Serving on the sideline, Li Liang came out to catch the ball, then swayed a bit, dribble a step inward, stopped the jump shot, and hit.
This game has been played many times.
Coupled with peace of mind, you get another two points.
Then, McGrady's attack, after turning back to catch the ball and turning to hold the ball to break, layup and layup, again was disturbed by Ben Wallace and missed.
Ben Wallace's basket assist is really extremely powerful.
Although he is not tall, because of his smaller size, his reaction speed is particularly fast.
Coupled with excellent wingspan and bounce, the threat of blockade is huge, which can cause great deterrence to opponents almost every time.
In order to make up for the lack of height, he also specially made an explosive hair style to make himself look bigger.
Another piston counterattack, Billups rushed to the frontcourt.
Li Liang keeps up and catches the ball from the front 3-pointer!
"Uh!"
Hit!
At 7:0, Li Liang opened the game with a 7:0 opponent, and his offensive status was really good.
But Li Liang was not complacent, because he knew that McGrady's outbreak was coming soon.
The next attack, McGrady broke through with the ball, knocked down Ben Wallace in the three second zone and was called offense foul.
Auburn Hills Palace is a cheer, they think that the T-mac that is raging in the Eastern District is just that.
The first three attacks, all missed, Tracy McGrady looked calm.
He was accumulating energy, and Li Liang was silently staring at McGrady, waiting for his outbreak.
Next, the referee gave the Pistons an offensive foul, Hamilton broke through and knocked down Girisek.
Then, Girisek made a jumper on offense and finally helped the Magic get points.
The opening rhythm of the two sides was very fast, the physical confrontation was fierce, and the tactics were basically unable to be played.
Ben Wallace's outside attempted to give Billups a pick-and-roll screen, but failed once.
The Magic defensive man-to-man staring was very tight and deadly, squeezed through firmly, without giving Billups any chance to break through or shoot outside.
The Magic side is also dominated by singles. Players get the ball and get one-on-one chance to play on their own.
Because in the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the more passes, the greater the possibility of mistakes.
Rather than making mistakes, it is better to make a singles by yourself, and the success rate is higher.
Billups made a passing mistake in a breakthrough point, giving the Magic a chance to fight back.
Gooden's fast break resulted in a foul and made two free throws, 7:4.
The Pistons have not scored in three rounds.
After McGrady missed consecutive openings, he didn't touch the ball for three or four rounds.
The Magic replaced Armstrong. He hit a three-pointer and stubbornly helped the Magic to equalize the score.
Carlisle, who was sitting on the sidelines at ease, started to stand up, sinking his face akimbo, feeling a bit wrong.
The Pistons' offense couldn't be played at all.
Both Hamilton and Billups were followed to death.
No matter how Hamilton runs, someone will always help.
Billups didn't find a chance in several picks and rolls, and he couldn't attack himself.
The two sides played in the opening 5 minutes, 9:7, the Pistons led by 2 points.
In addition to Li Liang, the Pistons scored 2 points only by Hamilton's free throw.
At this time, McGrady finally began to score.
He used the outside screen to wrap around 45 degrees to the left. After receiving Armstrong's pass, he pulled up a two-point jumper and hit it!
Li Liang knew that McGrady was about to start.
Then, the Junk Pistons passed the ball again on offense.
However, Li Liang snatched the ball back and passed the ball to Wallace under the basket. Wallace violently dunked with both hands!
Flew...
Nima buckled again!
Can this be deducted? Li Liang was speechless. The previous task Wallace had to buckle every time. This time it has been passed so well, still fly?
Then the Magic counter-attacked and the rim was chaotic. He grabbed three rebounds and missed three layups.
This game is really ugly.
On the Pistons side, Billups countered a three-pointer shot, which was short.
Li Liang kept up, tapped gently and made a shot.
The garbage piston's attack can only rely on Lao Tzu.
In fact, it is not piston garbage, but the state of the piston is really bad.
Then, Tracy McGrady took the ball on the wing again, and Li Liang stepped forward to take the initiative to match Tracy McGrady.
"You go aside!" Li Liang said towards Michael Curry.
Curry can no longer be defended, and then he can be defended~EbookFREE.me~ will beat McGrady into Jordan.
McGrady held the ball in the basket and faced Li Liang.
Li Liang's eyes were firm and steady, lowered his center of gravity, and maintained an appropriate distance.
After McGrady dribble the ball continuously, suddenly his left hand accelerated to the bottom line and broke through!
Li Liang kept up as soon as possible, his hand has been holding McGrady's waist, has already felt that he was going to take the left.
But it was still a bit slow, and McGrady hit a negative angle.
Li Liang almost pushed him out of the bottom line. In this case, the average player can only pass the ball.
But Tracy McGrady still took off, made a limit lever change in the air, from the left to the right, a reverse basket shot!
This time Li Liang has been defended to the extreme, but still can't stop McGrady from scoring.
But Li Liang was not annoyed, the game was still growing.
