Chapter 70: Robertson

　　Li Liang knows that, like this kind of task that requires the team to win, the team has lost all nine times in history.
　　Where did you lose? It must have been lost to Oscar Robertson.
　　 In the first quarter, the Celtics got into trouble on the offensive end.
　　 Their outside shooting percentage is not high.
　　 The Celtics in the 1960s were actually a modern team.
　　Although there is superstar Bill Russell inside, Russell's strength lies in defense.
　　 The main means of scoring offense is the second attack, and occasionally an unreliable hook.
Li Liang watched Russell sometimes squat in a low back to catch the ball, that ugly and unskilled posture, plus a stiff dribble and a big left hand hook, how ugly and ugly, really want to guide Take a look.
　　Embry was not tall, but he was strong and strong, and Russell had difficulty scoring one-on-one on his head.
　　 Russell couldn't score, Sam Jones didn't score after the game started, the Celtics' offense was intermittent.
　　And on the Royals, their outside forward Jack Twiman is in good shape, he made consecutive shots.
　　Oscar Robertson controlled the rhythm of the field very well. He was not fast, but every time the dribble hit the inside, it was very threatening.
　　Robertson's pass is different from Cousy's, very stable, plus he also has a strong shooting ability, helping the Royals suppress the Celtics on the road.
　　 The score came to 14:8. After Robertson made a jumper from the front, Auerbach called for a timeout.
　　 Basketball coaches in the 1960s are no different than they are now.
　　Aulbach scolded Sam Jones first. In the first quarter to the present, he has cast four and missed one.
　　 There is also dissatisfaction with Robertson's defense, making him play too easy, almost no pressure on him.
　　 is actually no way, because from the counterpoint point of view, almost no one in the NBA backcourt can match Robertson.
　　Even by modern standards, Robertson is very tall and strong in point guards.
　　 For this reason, the Celtics played very hard every time they played against the Royals.
　　 wins are within a few centimeters. In the next few seasons, the Royals will be their biggest obstacle on the way forward.
　　Li Liang listened carefully to Auerbach’s scolding and took advantage of the gap to raise his hand: "Coach, can you get me on? I can defend Robertson."
　　 Auerbach said: "You can defend, who do you think you are! You say you can defend, you can defend? If you can't resist? Do you return your salary to me?"
　　Auerbach after a series of interrogation, incidentally gave Li Liang 10 points of anger, weighted to estimate 100.
　　Li Liang wants Lao Tzu to eat your rice? When did you get your salary?
　　 Auerbach again said: "Okay, you come on, come on."
　　Li Liangxin thought TM, this old man just wanted to find someone to vent.
　　 The pressure to be a coach is really great.
　　Li Liang replaced Tom Haynes Thorne as the team's power forward.
　　The Celtics lineup is very flexible, especially in the forward position.
　　 starting Tom Hayne Thorne and Tom Sanders, two Toms, can play both forward and backward.
　　Hafrichek sitting on the bench is also an all-rounder, which shows that the Cardinal's basketball concept is indeed very advanced.
　　Li Liang played power forward, but he played directly against Oscar Robertson defensively.
　　Li Liang decided to give his opponent an offense on the offensive end first.
　　Sam Jones dribbled through the half and was still the same routine. Cousy put it up and dipped in from the top of the arc.
　　Li Liang brought up to cover Cusi and then took a step back.
　　 This location is probably the place of the modern NBA three-point line.
　　 Cousy dribble and walked in, and the royal team rounded him up.
　　Jones usually waited for a chance at 45 degrees on the right, but he missed the four shots and Cousy didn't want to pass him.
　　 Cousy passed it to Li Liang and wanted to reorganize the attack.
　　You know, Li Liang took the ball in that position and threw it directly!
　　Aulbach saw Li Liang shot directly at that position, stood up and scolded: "How did you shoot TM?"
　　 The words are not finished yet, the ball has already passed in and scored two points!
　　 If the NBA had a three-point line, it would be a beautiful three-point line.
　　 Royals players never expected Li Liang to shoot in this position, and their defensive attention was focused on Cousy.
　　 After scoring a goal, Li Liang gave Auerbach a showdown and gave him a helpless expression, anyway.
　　 Of course, Li Liang has regained the value of anger. It seems that the old bishop is also an artifact.
　　With Li Liang's long shot level, it is not difficult to win this game.
　　 The key is defensively, how to steal the ball from Robertson three times.
　　 It is not so easy to steal the ball from the hands of NBA players, not to mention the legendary point guard opposite.
　　 But the difficulty of this task is only because of [Rookie], there is a reason. In the 1960s, the player’s level of ball control cannot be compared with the current one.
　　Li Liang faced Robertson one-on-one near the midfield. Robertson dribble sideways and leaned forward with his strong hips against Li Liang.
　　 "I depend, the players of that era like to dribble with ass!"
　　Li Liang is not very used to defending this kind of dribbling.
　　He exerted his strength one by one and the referee whistled.
　　 "Foul, block."
　　 At that time, the penalty for blocking the foul was very strict, and the body touched slightly, so that the referee felt that you were working hard, and you must blow the foul.
　　Li Liang still needs to get used to it, but he thinks he is fine.
　　Now he is not the NCAA water dispenser, he is the NBA water dispenser!
　　The Royals serve the sideline and Li Liang posted it near Robertson.
　　 The moment the ball was thrown, Li Liang suddenly started.
　　 He took advantage of height and wingspan to bypass Robertson and gave the ball down!
　　Robertson reacted quickly and immediately squeezed Li Liang away to prevent him from stealing the ball.
　　 "Beep!" The referee's whistle rang again.
　　 This time, Robertson was blown a foul.
　　Li Liang was "pushed down" to the ground. In fact, he has the element of acting in this ball.
　　 Russell stepped up and pulled Li Liang up, patted him, and said, "Good job kid."
　　 off the court, Auerbach was very satisfied with Li Liang's performance.
　　The Celtics need this kind of active scramble to change the slump caused by the unsuccessful offense.
　　 Soon, Li Liang made another long shot on the offensive end.
　　 Only then did the players of the Royals find out how this kid's long shot is so accurate?
　　 It turned out that the ball was not blinded?
　　 Even Cousy felt a little weird and stepped forward: "The shot was beautiful and it caught up with West."
　　 West in Cousy's mouth is of course Jerry West, the best outside shooter of his time.
　　 But West's shooting is obviously not as modern as Li Liang.
　　Because the players of that era had relatively short shooting distances, they usually used the fingers and wrists to make shots, and the movements of the upper and lower arms were very small.
　　 Later, as the shooting distance gets farther and farther, when the three-point line appears, it is necessary to use the forearm and the big arm to gradually modernize the shooting technology.
　　 So in the game, Li Liang's shooting posture looks a little different.
　　 The difference was two points behind, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Oscar Robertson turned around and returned one.
　　 This time he didn't take the middle, but after dribbling to the bottom line, he jumped sideways and the master shot.
　　His shot was high, Li Liang could not block it, and Robertson made a two-pointer.
　　 The rhythm of the two sides played extremely fast, and there were not many routines in the tactics. Li Liang quickly adapted.
　　Because of his precise shooting, the Royals had to put more defensive attention on him.
　　 Cousy has a better space for activity, he began to revive the Celtics offense.
　　 The point guard is really getting older and more demon, Cousy calmly shuttled in the Royals' halftime, and then sent out a ghostly pass.
　　Li Liang played better on offense. The skills he honed in Kentucky were enough to use in the 1960s.
　　 But on the defensive end, under a fast-paced attack, there is always no chance to steal the ball from Robertson.
　　 In the second quarter of the game, Li Liang had scored 14 points, most of them were outside jumpers.
　　 The position of his shot is too far, the Royals players are not used to guarding so far.
　　 And after training with Bob Knight's vacancy ability, Li Liang could easily find a gap shot.
　　The Celtics score had already overtaken, Auerbach took advantage of the timeout, replaced Li Liang, and praised it well.
　　 "Good boy, are you equipped with a sight today? The shot is true!"
　　Li Liang just smiled, but he was not happy.
　　 There are three steals, and there is no one till now.
　　 The pace of the game is too fast, and the punishment scale is strict. Robertson's ball protection is very good. It is really not easy to break the ball.
　　 "No, just think about it." Li Liang started his little brains again and started to think of a way.
