Chapter 21 Version Features
[Welcome to the all-around king training ground again, visitor: Bruce Lee, whether to continue the mission of 'containing LeBron James' debut.] 】
"Yes."
After returning to the hotel at night and falling asleep, Li Liang re-entered the [Almighty King] system and continued to complete his defensive ability improvement task.
Warcraft's loss to Zhu Shu made him feel very unhappy, and he wanted to get it back in the system!
Li Liang's surroundings lit up, and at the Arco Arena in 2003, the Sacramento Kings were still the top powerhouse in the West.
With a perfect staffing and a flashy offense, the Kings are arguably one of the most popular teams at the beginning of the 21st century.
In 2002 they were just one step away from the championship.
After the failed '03 season, the '03-04 season began, and the Kings have not been able to recover from the injury troubles.
Their number one star, Chris Webber, remains out injured and is not expected to return until mid-to-late season.
Brad Miller started in place of Webb, while Leung wore the Kings' No. 13 jersey in place of former shooting guard Doug Christie.
Li Liang became the starter, which was a challenge for him.
When he was doing this task yesterday, Li Liang was busy defending James, and the offensive end was a mess, so he scored two points by stealing chickens.
And he doesn't know anything about the Kings Princeton tactical system, but fortunately, he still knows how to run back and go through the back door.
In addition, the Cavaliers were really weak, and the Kings still won the game.
With the experience of the previous game, Li Liang has stronger confidence.
Tonight he has to use his brains more and try to complete this task.
After several tasks, Li Liang has already discovered that these tasks require him to have enough strength to hone his skills in the competition.
On the other hand, it is necessary to be opportunistic and do everything possible to meet the requirements of the completion of the task.
Li Liang's current strength is insufficient, and if he wants to complete the task, he must use his brains.
The game was about to start, and LeBron James rubbed magnesium powder on his palms on the technical table, but didn't spill it into the air like he did later.
It was his first NBA game, and he kept a low profile.
But when it comes to the court, James can't keep a low profile, because his strength doesn't allow it.
At just 18 years old this year, he has what it takes to make a name for himself in the NBA in every sense of the word.
When he was still in St. Mary's High School, NBA stars came to watch him play.
Before entering the NBA, James got Nike's 90 million sneaker contract.
In the draft, even the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose brains were kicked by a donkey, knew that James must be selected, not a person.
Of course, it was both a blessing and a misfortune for James to be drafted by the Cavaliers.
The ups and downs of the following years proved how difficult it is to win a championship in the NBA.
After Li Liang experienced Durant's talent in a previous mission, he was stimulated by James's talent again.
The 18-year-old is exceptionally well-balanced and powerful in all aspects, and his style of play is extremely mature and calm.
The second time he played this game, Li Liang first analyzed and summarized the lessons learned from the last game.
First of all, Adelman, an old man, didn't pay attention to James at the beginning of the defensive game.
After all, an 18-year-old high school student, a well-informed old man, doesn't think he can make any big waves.
Therefore, in the opening game, Adelman did not let "Christie", that is, the defensive arrow replaced by Li Liang, go to the opposite of James.
Rather, it follows the conventional thinking, because James opened the game as a point guard, and let Bibi, who is also a point guard, defend it.
Although Bibby is strong, his lateral speed and height are there, where is the defense of James.
In the first half, James played several in a row with mid-range.
It wasn't until the second half that Adelman reacted, adjusting for "Christie" to play against James.
This time, Li Liang can't do this anymore, as soon as he starts, he will defend James and leave Ricky Davis to Bibby.
He spoke to Bibi before the opening, and Bibi nodded in agreement.
It seems that the system is still reasonable!
Second, in the last game, James played several fast breaks.
First, after the Kings took a big lead, the retreat defense was relatively lax.
Second, James's speed is really powerful, once he rushes up, he can't stop it.
Li Liang thought that this game could not let James play too much fast offense.
Especially some long passes directly to teammates assists, the last game was because of an assist, which caused Li Liang's success to fall short.
As for the third point, it was Li Liang's little thought after fighting Warcraft with Zhu Shu at night.
Warcraft lost to Zhu Shu, of course Li Liang didn't expect that this girl's game would be so powerful.
He thought that he would definitely find an opportunity to treat Zhu Shu.
So he searched in his mind for various tactics of Warcraft, and after thinking about it, he thought of the version.
The so-called generation version of a generation of gods, Warcraft will have different strong troops, heroes and tactics in different versions.
Li Liang thought from this that the NBA was not like this.
In the past decade, with the development of rules and tactics, the NBA's offense and defense have been evolving.
Especially defensively, Li Liang thought that before 2004, the NBA still allowed hand-check on the defensive end.
Above the free throw line, outside players are allowed to touch the opponent's body with their hands when they are defending.
In '04, the NBA scrapped this rule to enhance the aggressiveness of outside players and make the game more watchful.
The result was a collective burst of scoring by outside players.
The game was in 2003, and the hand-check had not yet been canceled, so Li Liang decided to take advantage of the rule and interfere with James as much as possible.
After sorting out these ideas, Li Liang threw himself into the game.
This is Li Liang's fourth simulated NBA game, and now standing on the floor of the NBA arena, his mind is much calmer.
At the beginning, he knew that Divac would fight for the ball, and although Divac's bounce was almost zero, the center forward Ilgeska, who was fighting for the ball, bounced at 0.
Then, the Kings will do a play in the high post, Brad Miller will come up, Divac will lead the defense inside, Bibby will go inside through Miller's screen, and then split the ball to the bottom right corner, and Stojakovic will shoot the first three.
Sure enough, the opening was going according to Li Liang's memory, and the knight's defense was really sparse, and there was a chance as soon as he covered it.
On the defensive end, Li Liang began to play directly against James.
As soon as James held the ball past half court, Li Liang stuck it on, and then stuck his hand on James's waist.
The significance of hand-check is not only to block the opponent with your hands, but more importantly, to sense the direction of the opponent's force through the touch and judge the opponent's course of action.
James's first attack, Li Liang knew that if Bibby was to defend, he would dribble to the horns and go inside, and then shoot directly to hit his first NBA point.
Li Liang didn't give him this opportunity, he stared very closely, James chose to pass the ball to Davis, and the Cavaliers began to run tactics.
Of course, they don't have any tactics, Ricky Davis thinks he's still the boss of the team, and James is here to support him.
Even James said at the press conference before James came to the team, "This is Davis' team." ”
But in fact, the "boss" is running out of time with the knights.
Now he takes the ball and starts to rush to the inside by himself, this Li Liang doesn't care, you can score as many points as you like.
Davis still has the ability, after taking the ball, he broke through from the wing at 45 degrees, and slipped to the baseline to hit a rebound.
After all, Divac is old, and he doesn't focus on movement and defense, and Davis can easily get two points.
Li conscience applauded, this game is better to let Davis play high, let him take the ball and do it himself, so that James' shots will be reduced, and his defensive pressure will not be so great.
The games in the [Almighty King] system, if there is no interference, will follow the course of history.
And once you join Li Liang, the little butterfly, everything will be different.
Li Liang's strategy was undoubtedly successful, in the first half, because Bibby went to defend Davis, Davis really played more and more smoothly, and began to frequently take the ball and play alone.
James, as the starting point guard, is more likely to dribble over the half court and feed Davis.
Li Liang didn't leave James an inch anyway, and he didn't use the "chat method" to stimulate James, which is good now.
At the end of the first half, the Kings led the Cavaliers 62-50 and 12 points.
The difference in strength between the two sides was still too large, and the king's attack was smooth.
Although there is no main player Webber, Miller fills Webber's vacancy very well.
He also has great playmaking, partnering Divac as a duo, and the Kings have the equivalent of three point guards on the offensive end.
The ball is evenly distributed, everyone can attack, everyone can score - including Li Liang.
He made two three-pointers, scored one, and stole another under the basket.
After scoring 5 points, he was satisfied, did not do any ball handling, only did a good job of defending James and standing on the bottom corner for three points.
James scored only six points in the first half and handed out three assists, and Li Liang knew that he was not far from completing the task.
Of course, in the second half, he had to solve another problem, that is, after the Kings took a big lead, there would be a loose defense, giving James a chance to play a fast break.
In order not to let the Kings players slack off too early, Li Liang took the initiative to attack, and after the start of the second half, he took the initiative to play X**, took the ball and did it, and attacked three times in a row, either hitting iron or making mistakes.
On the one hand, it gave the Cavaliers a chance to counterattack and approached the score, and on the other hand, Li Liang realized that his three-legged cat ball-holding offensive skills could not be eaten at all in the NBA.
The Cavaliers scored six straight points, and James hit a fast break and also handed out an assist.
Adelman shook his head angrily, and immediately called a timeout, asking Li Liang why he was beating blindly.
Li Liang replied: "I just had the opportunity to vote, it was an opportunity, I just didn't feel good." ”
Adelman glared at Li Liang speechlessly, [Rage +20, from Rick Adelman], the old man was obviously angry.
But fortunately, Adelman did not replace Li Liang, and Li Liang was able to stay on the field.
Because the score was forced to close, the Kings played a little more seriously defensively.
Li Liang continued his kraft gum path and kept an eye on James.
When James passed the ball to his teammates and his teammates were about to score a layup, Li Liang rushed up and pulled the opponent down directly.
I'd rather let him go to the free-throw line to score points than let James get an assist.
If this is true history, then Li Liang must be spurned by many fans, why should he hinder James from making a beautiful debut?
Li Liang also has no way, and completing the task is the most important thing.
Relying on a series of strategic measures, Li Liang finally successfully completed this "rookie" task.
By the end of the game, James had 18 points, six assists and seven rebounds.
It's still a good debut, but it's worse than history, and the Cavaliers didn't lose to the Kings unexpectedly.
After remembering the buzzer, 18-year-old James and Li Liang hugged and greeted each other.
The young man was not depressed by the loss, and Li Liang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Welcome to the NBA, the future is yours." ”
Looking at the back of James walking back to the locker room, Li Liang thought, this is where your pit daddy knight journey begins.
The surroundings slowly dimmed, and the mission was over.
[Congratulations on completing the 'Containing James' debut' mission, +5 (41) for outside defense, +3 (38) for lateral movement, +3 (36) for sticking/following defense, +3 (20) for steals, and +3 (46) for defensive positioning and anticipation.] Prize: Steal Power Booster]
After the task was completed and looking at the reward, Li Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and he made a little progress.
He entered the exchange center and saw that he had one more value-added agent, which was the steal ability, and he could still only add 1 point, and the price was still 500 rage points.
He decided to use an add-on and ate it anyway, but it turned out to have no effect.
[Tip: The value-added agent can only be used once a week, you have already used it this week, and you cannot continue to use it]
Li Liang saw that there were quite a lot of rules for this value-added agent, it could only be done once a week, and it was only a little bit at a time, and it cost 500 anger points to buy it.
This system is really the essence of domestic online games, krypton players soar into the sky, and ordinary players can only slowly boil it.
Li Liang wanted to become a krypton player, but unfortunately the system didn't give him this opportunity.
But it doesn't matter, slowly improving is the right way, otherwise adding a lot of points at once, the body may not be able to bear it.
After leaving the system, Li Liang immediately fell into a deep sleep.
