Chapter 412: Brave game

Since the NBA games in the 1970s did not have a three-point line, they still used the internal tactics.
However, compared with the 60's center commanding everything, the 70's forward players and defenders are growing and improving rapidly.
The players in the front and backcourts are getting taller and stronger, and the center can no longer be as big as the 1960s.
Of course, the competition has become more intense, and even tends to be rough.
Li Liang has taught him the tasks of the Lakers Angel City Book and the "Truck" Robinson mission.
Therefore, Li Liang was not afraid of any rough confrontation in the mission.
At the same time, Li Liang is not only afraid of roughness, he also has a technical advantage that the inside players of that era did not have at all.
Although Bob McAdoo plays center, he looks more like a forward in terms of size and technical conditions.
In fact, before being pushed to the center position in the rookie season, he played in the team as a small forward.
He has excellent shooting skills and footwork under the basket, as well as good dribbling skills.
When he holds the ball, he can attack from anywhere in the half. He is fast, he can bounce well, he can stop the jumper, break the layup, and use the defender's offensive skills to hit the opponent's center.
From this point of view, Li Liang and McAdoo really fit.
But McAdoo has a fatal flaw, that is, defense is not good.
He is a good rebounder, but he is really not as good as Li Liang in defense.
In his rookie season as a small forward, Bill Bradley scored 38 points in a single game.
Later, in the center position, his advantage lies in offensive, as for defense, watching the sky to eat.
Starting with five players, the tallest is 6-foot-9 McAdoo. Their power forward Hyde is only 198cm.
Therefore, they played downright offensive basketball, and in 1974, it was really difficult to beat a defensive, inside team.
But with Li Liang, everything is different.
The first goal after the game started, Li Liang first showed his feel on the outside.
He took a shot after taking the ball from the normal 3-point line.
No one defended him at all.
The goal scored!
The fans in Boston Garden were shocked.
McAdoo's all-round shooting without dead ends has already been taught. In the first four games of the series, they have scored 44 points on the Celtics head and 38 points once. They rely on no dead ends and seem to choose. Bad shot.
The result is a high hit rate.
But it's a bit ridiculous to shoot so far away from the basket.
Cowens also ran to the basket and grabbed a rebound, but had to serve.
Li Liang is adjusting the touch. In the task, he has no touch runes, skills or props.
Everything depends on his current hard power.
Then entering the defense, Li Liang began to show what McAdoo did not have.
Cowens came out from the high post to give Havlicek a pick and roll. Li Liang knew Havlicek's course.
Therefore, directly on the strength of pressure, and collaborating with his teammates, Havlicek was caught off guard and was stealing.
At the normal pace of the brave, they should launch a fast break.
Jack Ramsey yelled "run and run" on the sidelines, but Li Liang didn't pass the ball to the point guard, but dribbled himself through the half.
Li Liang rushed past Cowens in the high position, then went straight to the basket, one-handed one!
After scoring, Ramsey on the sidelines was struggling to punch, and the ball was really beautiful.
Cowens was beaten a bit ignorant, he still wanted to prevent Bob Li Liang's shot, and the result was a one-stop?
With a wealth of offensive methods and outstanding defensive skills, the bravery plays better the first quarter.
Li Liang played handy in the basket. Although Cowens is well-known and powerful, his offensive technique is not very delicate.
He relies on passion, hard work, the courage to move forward, the perpetual energy.
The average player, entangled with him for half time, is estimated to be dead.
Unlike Li Liang, he is a tried and tested system warrior, and it is not enough to want to deal with him by "tangle".
Li Liang is better than McAdoo in weight and muscle strength. The Celtics clearly feel that the basket that was easy to score before was not so good to play.
Especially the point of Havlicek. In the third game, the Iron King scored 43 points on 18 of 30 and 60 percent shooting. It was entirely because the Brave were undefended.
Ramsey is also a clever woman who has nothing to do with rice. There are no basket masters in the team, which can only be compensated by offense.
By the time he reached the Blazers, with Bill Wharton, the situation would be completely different.
And Li Liang switched to Havlicek several times in the first half, which was rare in the 1970s.
At that time, defense was more dependent on one-on-one, attitude, personal ability, and teamwork.
Targeted defenses like this made Havlicek and the Celtics very uncomfortable.
Li Liang's basket under the basket is actually the same, the blocking ability is average, the problem is this cargo thief.
The offensive foul flew up, and it was upside down to die and touch porcelain.
Although the referee's whistle was loose in the 1970s, basketball is not a rugby after all, and it can't be hit casually.
At first, the referee didn't care much. Later, Li Liang always fell, thinking about it, he should give a face and play the Celtics foul.
This came several times in a row, the fans of the Garden Arena were booed, and Li Liang's anger value rose again.
From this point of view, the Garden Arena is also a blessing.
At halftime, the Braves 55:47, leading the Celtics by 8 points!
In this game in the history, McAdoo played very badly, and his shooting percentage was not good. It really relied on Randy Smith.
If Li Liang played well in this game, it would not be a problem for the brave to win the game.
But the reason why the Celtics are champions is not that you can easily beat them by changing players.
In the third quarter, the Celtics changed their strategy to counterattack.
Cowens continued his perpetually high confrontation defense, and he almost struggled with Li Liang.
On the airless, sultry April night of the Boston Garden, the game began to get tougher.
With Haflicek frustrated, Don Nelson came out and made consecutive shots in the third quarter.
The Celtics are close to the score, they continue to maintain a tough defense, and constantly attack the inside on the offensive end.
After all, Li Liang is not Russell, it is impossible for him to provide high-quality inside defense throughout the game.
In addition, Cowens's entanglement made his outside shot a bit inaccurate. Without the help of props, Li Liang became a little scared, and he didn't dare to shoot casually.
If there is a three-point line, Li Liang can also try to make one of two or three steps away from the three-point line.
But there is no three-point line here, this lifeline is gone.
The two sides began to enter a quagmire-like struggle.
The pace of the game has been slowed down, which is the Celtics favorite game mode.
The Celtics can play a lot of people. In addition to the starting five, there are Don Chaney and Paul Westphal sitting on the court.
Powerful players like Westphal are not reused by the Celtics.
Later, he went to the Suns and led the Suns all the way to the finals against the Celtics.
Even if the Celtics expanded the rotation and there were 10 people playing, Cowens didn't go down for a minute.
No one minute, this time he played for 48 minutes, just to stop Bob Li Liang all the time.
The game reached the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides came to 88:87, the brave also led by 1 point.
The Celtics called for a timeout.
Li Liang feels more and more hot and tired. Without energy runes to support, he still lacks a lot of physical energy.
Li Liang hasn't scored for a while. He put all his energy on the defensive end, grabbing rebounds and protecting the basket.
At this point, he already had four fouls on his back, and the referee blew two more whistle.
If this game is lost, he fails the first mission of the book of that day.
He will never get the reward for passing the mission.
Li Liang began to regret it, why did he go to the task so hurriedly.
You should hone in the six-dimensional task and come in again. You should watch the video of the game several times and study it carefully.
Li Liang swallowed water, defending inside is really an individual effort.
Is Cowens really equipped with a perpetual motion machine?
Does he know that he is tired at all?
Ramsey was arranging tactics. He saw Li Liang's confused expression and stepped forward: "Hey Bob, you want to shoot, you have to throw the ball in."
Li Liang nodded, but Cowens was so tight, and there was no room for Corvo and Paul to give him space. How did he vote?
Direct three points? There are no three points here, and Cowens is inseparable.
Dribble breakthrough? Cowens is the best defensive player in the NBA.
Li Liang just nodded. Ramsey saw it again and said: "Bob, have you forgotten what you said? You are the greatest basketball player in history."
"what?"
"You are the greatest basketball player, you said it yourself."
Ramsey repeated a side, a memory suddenly burst into Li Liang's mind.
It was Bob McAdoo. He was so confident that he felt a little arrogant. He said he would become the greatest basketball player in the NBA in 1974.
McAdoo is extremely confident, so he has many unreasonable shooting options.
But he has confident capital ~EbookFREE.me~ because he can throw the ball in.
"Am I the greatest basketball player?"
"It depends on you."
"The greatest basketball player..."
It was only at this time that Li Liang realized that for McAdoo and the Brave, he had to do more than just protect the basket, but have the confidence to defeat the Green Giants at Garden Square in Boston.
He wants to break the fear of Cowens, the Celtics, the three seconds zone!
Only by defeating fear can you gain the fear of others.
Basketball is a game for the brave.
At this time, the timeout was up and Li Liang went back to the game.
He is going to use the shooting and McAdoo to tear the Celtics and Dave Cowens.
