Chapter 466: Master Tactician
Maravich is best known for his speedy style of play, in addition to his swift speed.
Dribbling the ball behind the back, passing the ball behind the back, dribbling under the crotch, and no?look passing, this seemingly thin white player conquered many fans and viewers with his skills.
Of course, from the current technical point of view, Maravich's possession is still not out of the shadow of the 60s.
After all, he grew up in that era, but he is already ahead of his time.
Although Li Liang has been honed by modern basketball, his talent in ball control skills is not as good as Maravich's.
He practiced various ball-control and direction changes with Maravich, which was quite difficult.
And the consequence of the struggle was that the finger was almost broken by the broken ring.
When he woke up the next day, he felt a dull pain in his fingers, although there were no traces on his hands.
Li conscience thought to himself, this damn Fraser can come up with some new tricks for me every time to torture me.
But the torture was effective, and although he had only practiced for one night, Li Liang felt that he had improved his ball control.
It's good to have the help of black technology, like ball control, which tests the skills of the ball, and people who are not good at the ball can't practice it for a lifetime.
The Clippers host the Boston Celtics on Jan. 8 after a full day of rest.
It's good now, Li Liang just wants to fight the Celtics!
If it weren't for that broken ring of your Celts, would my finger hurt so much?
I've added a crown to your history, even if it's another plane, so there's no merit and hard work, just treat me like that?
Li Liang decided to give the Celtics a little color in this game.
Before the start of the game, Li Liang made some preparations.
Li Liang changed the runes currently equipped on his body.
Before, Li Liang was mainly equipped with feel runes, energy runes, and physical fitness runes.
Occasionally, he will install defensive runes to improve his defensive ability.
In this game against the Celtics, Li Liang decided to use a rune that was rarely used in the past: a tactical cracking rune.
Because of Paul's absence, Li Liang had to take on more organizational tasks in the attack.
And the tactical cracking rune can help Li Liang and improve his ability to defend.
At present, he has 5 Lv3 Tactical Cracking Runes, and when all of them are loaded, he can increase his Tactical Cracking Ability by 7.5%.
Of course, Li Liang himself didn't know how strong Li Liang's original tactical cracking ability was.
Anyway, it's a little bit to be able to improve a little.
Stevenson, the new head coach of the Celtics, is said to be an excellent tactical coach.
Although the Celtics are currently in a rebuilding period, with players with little talent and some mercenaries, their combat effectiveness and cohesion are good.
Although the record is not good, it can often cause problems for opponents in the game.
Whether a team has combat effectiveness and cohesion is the best place to see is defense.
The Celtics are currently conceding points per game and are in the upper middle of the league, conceding around 100 points per game.
That's a decent drop stat, ahead of them are the Clippers and Thunder.
Having a defence means that the team is united, and the players are willing to follow the coach's instructions to do some work that is not obvious to the data.
If the army is discouraged and stubbornly messed up, the situation will be divided into two battles, and each player will only think about his own stats.
The reason why the Celtics have a poor record is mainly because they can't attack and really have no talent.
Starting Jeff Green, Jordan Crawford, Bradley, Brandon Buss plus a Humphries.
None of these five players can take the lead and support a team's attack.
They were all role-oriented players, and even so, they still won some games.
Of course, for Stevens, a college coach, coaching such a player is not a problem.
Because in college basketball, playing "decentralized" team basketball.
The coach is the core of the team, and the relatively mediocre players can show the brilliance of the coach more.
Conversely, if there is a star who is too prominent and has personality, a coach like Stevens may not know how to coach.
In this regard, Rivers and Stevens were still a bit similar.
When they took over the Magic in the 1999-2000 season, the Magic team was similarly untalented.
Four of the five starters have not been through the NBA draft, and it's the kind of lineup that Rivers has a 50 percent winning percentage.
This is going to be put in the East today, and it will be in the playoffs.
Ten years later, Rivers has tasted the championship and led the Big Three, and he never wants to stay with the Celtics anymore, accompanying a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs to rebuild.
So he came to the Clippers, and Stevens was the same Doug Rivers 10 years ago.
Li Liang replaced the [Energy] rune with the [Tactical Crack] rune, and his energy was already in surplus.
The game started at 7:30 p.m., and the Staples Center was still full.
Compared to the beginning of the season, there are significantly fewer fans wearing the Lakers' No. 28 jersey at Clippers games.
When Li Liang first came to the Clippers, there were still many Li Liang fans who wore Lakers jerseys to watch the game.
But now, his No. 28 with the Clippers has become one of the best-selling jerseys in Los Angeles, surpassing even Kobe's No. 24.
And in Paul's absence, the Clippers game has increased the attention.
According to the survey given by ESPN, the viewership of the Clippers games increased significantly in the two games that Paul was absent.
The topic is also quickly popular.
It seems that the Paul Clippers have a real tumor.
This is certainly not the case, and some fans surveyed said that after Paul's absence, "the Clippers' game has become more interesting and suspenseful." ”
The full-fledged Clippers are a bit too strong at the moment, and many games are more than 120 points to crush their opponents.
Clippers fans are happy, but neutral teams don't think the game is interesting.
After Paul's absence, the strength of the Clippers will eventually decline, and the game will be more intense.
And the so-called "highlight" is, of course, Li Liang's performance.
After all, in basketball, the role of stars is quite powerful, much stronger than football and rugby.
Many fans will follow their favorite stars to "migrate", and wherever the star goes, they will like which team.
After playing the Spurs, Li Liang's popularity has further increased, and now the Clippers have become the focus of every game.
Before the start of the game, one of the "keys to victory" given by the broadcast TV station was, "How many points can Bruce Lee score." ”
Many people are speculating whether Li Liang's crazy three-point shooting ability will break through the 60-point mark again in the next game.
In the last game against Magic, Li Liang "played mediocre", and it stands to reason that in this game against the Celtics, Li Liang should break out.
Li Liang also saw these news from the news, and thought to himself that these fan media really have a problem with their vision.
Is I, Bruce Lee, the kind of player who has data for the sake of data?
The only criterion for my play is to win!
In order to win, I will go and get enough data.
If you can win without data, then ...... So why not data?
Anyway, Li Liang thought about it for a long time, and felt that he still had to fight according to his own thoughts and ideas.
In the Spurs game, Li Liang felt that he had to drive the whole team together so that he could have more room to play.
The Clippers still started in place of Paul by Collisson.
Collison played well in the last game, but in this game against Bradley, a defensive strongman on the outside of the Celtics, Collison didn't have such a good time.
The Clippers quickly opened up the game as soon as the opening stanza began, with Griffin scoring back-to-back points on the inside.
In fact, Li Liang's brilliance has somewhat overshadowed Griffin's tremendous progress this season.
Although there are natural flaws on the defensive end, on the offensive end, Griffin has become the Clippers' most consistent and efficient scoring point.
Even from the point of view of efficiency, he is a little stronger than Li Liang, of course, this is related to his offensive task assignment and playing with the second team.
But no matter what, Griffin's appearance is a huge help to Li Liang.
In the first quarter, Griffin scored 12 points, and the Clippers took a 10-point lead at 33:23.
In the second quarter, the Celtics began to adjust their tactics, and began to play more baskets on the offensive end, continuously creating fouls on Jordan Jr. and Li Liang.
On the offensive end, the Celtics began to defend and mark people in turns.
This kind of sudden joint defense and then switching to the defensive style of marking can easily disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.
The Clippers players' offensive rhythm was messed up, and they missed consecutive three-point shots from the outside.
The Celtics closed on the score, narrowing the gap to within five points.
At this time, Li Liang stood up and hit a three-point shot on the outside to stabilize the situation.
Then, Li Liang began to look for holes in the Celtics' defense.
The Celtics' defense is very targeted, targeting the Clippers' current lack of outside ball handlers, not moving the ball fast enough, and lacking in killing from mid-range.
So they first contracted to bet on the Clippers to feel bad, and then expanded the pressure, anyway, the mid-range section doesn't care about you.
If the Clippers use hard power to go head-to-head with the Celtics, they can win if they want to win.
But Li Liang still hopes to break down the Celtics' defensive strategy tactically.
Lao Tzu is a master tactician!
The method he uses is also very simple, which is to block and dismantle.
