In the evening, Li Liang tried Odom's mission again, and he tried his best to frantically entangle Odom throughout the audience.

But Odom still scored 15 points in the end, and he was only a little short of the mission goal, but this made Li Liang feel very difficult.

An NBA player, with a little strength, stays on the court, as long as he has enough time and shots, it is relatively simple to score 10 points.

A belly team like the Clippers is all about training a rookie like Odom.

So the coach kept putting him on the court and gave him enough shots.

Odom is not like Durant this time, Durant's debut is already iron.

Odom was originally in good hands, in outstanding form, and was going to score 30 points.

Li Liang wants to contain him to 10 points, and the difficulty can be imagined.

From Wei Dazhi, Li Liang asked for the video of the game, and watched it twice during the day, but it didn't work.

Once Li Liang entered the ring, except for the opening, the course of the whole game changed.

What hasn't changed is Odom's fiery touch and energy, as well as the Clippers' tactical arrangement.

After the mission failed, Li Liang felt a little sleepy during the day, and he knew that he had to rest for two days.

In Miami, they were going to stay a week and go back until May.

On April 28, the NBA playoffs kicked off at the American Airlines Center in Miami, and the four of them attended the game as usual.

The 2011-2012 season ended with the Miami Heat, a 46-20 win over the Big Three, who finished second in the East and faced the New York Knicks in the first round.

It's a very interesting series, because the Knicks' star is none other than the '03 show, Carmelo Anthony.

03 The four strongest players of the Platinum generation gathered in this series, but the Heat had three people, James, Wade, and Bosh.

Anthony is alone on his side, with Amare Stoudemire by his side, but unfortunately Xiao Si is not as good as before due to injury.

"The Knicks lineup is still very good on paper, with Tyson Chandler on the inside, and you know how badly he beat the Heat in the finals last year. Guard, Baron Davis, with him, the Knicks are not afraid of Wade! And then Anthony, Smalls, and JR Smith and Mike Bibby on the bench, veterans like that are in the playoffs and it's time for them to play. ”

Before the game, Wei Dazhi blew at the Knicks, saying that he was very optimistic about the Knicks.

After all, LeBron James has become a public enemy after his decision in the summer of 10.

After losing to the Mavericks in the 2011 Finals, James' poor play knocked him to the bottom, and now many people are ready to see James' jokes.

For the sake of the triumvirate of the championship group, but he couldn't win the championship, and James was doomed.

Li Liang doesn't care who wins or loses, he likes basketball, but he has little interest in chasing stars.

He would love to see how the Heat are good at defending this season and how they can deal with Carmelo Anthony on the outside.

The American Airlines Center in the playoffs was unusually hot, and it was completely different from the previous Orlando.

The game kicked off at 7 p.m. and the playoffs kicked off in the 2012 season.

The intensity of the playoffs was very different from the regular season, and the two sides began to fight fiercely at the beginning.

The referee's whistle sounded very frequently, and both sides were testing the referee's scale, obviously the referee was stricter tonight.

The Heat lack interior height, but the outside defense is really terrible, and James and Wade are both top outside defenders.

Spoelstra has built an extremely strong perimeter rotation wrap defense against the Heat, and their rotation is the best in the league.

On the Knicks' side, Anthony is in average shape tonight, and the Heat's outside rotation is simply ubiquitous.

As soon as he gets the ball and goes within 15 feet of the basket, the bag will come up.

As soon as Anthony passed, his teammates on the perimeter couldn't throw the ball in.

Anthony had no choice but to face James for a one-on-one pull-up jumper.

Unfortunately, tonight he didn't feel good and couldn't shoot.

The Heat seized the opportunity to play a few counterattacks in a row, and the score was stretched to 6 points in the first quarter.

"Damn, what and what is the Knicks' offense, on Bibby, on the White Devils, shoot through the Heat!"

Wei Dazhi was blind off the field, anyway, he said that the Miami fans around him could not understand Chinese.

In the second quarter, the Heat really replaced Mike Bibby, but none of them made any shots from the outside, and the defense couldn't keep up.

The score gap widened even more, because Anthony was contained at this point, and the Knicks' offense completely collapsed.

"Oh, what is this hitting, what is it! This can't be thrown! ”

Wei Dazhi watched Anthony strike again and again on the sidelines, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry.

When the Knicks trailed by more than 20 points in the third quarter, Wei Dazhi was completely desperate, knowing that the Knicks were finished, and this game could not be won.

The Heat's morale grew stronger and stronger amid the cheers of the home fans, crushing the Knicks in one fell swoop and strangling the New Yorkers with their steely defense.

The final score was 100-67, and the Knicks didn't score as much as the Heat in the third quarter.

If the Heat hadn't given up defense in the fourth quarter, the Knicks' total score would have been lower.

Carmelo Anthony, the core of the Knicks, scored 11 points on 3-of-15 shooting from the field, and his performance was quite poor.

series, the Heat led 1:0.

"It's okay, it's okay, the first game of the playoffs, it's away again, it's normal to play badly. Losing 1 point is the same as losing 30 points, it's 0:1 anyway. If they win the second game, the Knicks will have home-court advantage, so it will still be advantageous. Moreover, this loss has woken up the Knicks, according to the law of conservation of character, Anthony will definitely break out in the next game, which is a good thing. Do you think, in the 1985 Finals, the Celtics slaughtered the Lakers by 40 points in the first game, what was the use? The Lakers were ashamed and braved and won the championship! ”

On the way back, Wei Dazhi quoted scriptures and believed through various logical analyses that the Knicks' loss was expected, not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Li Liang drove and looked at Wei Dazhi, shook his head helplessly, and thought that he was crazy again.

Basketball is so magical, it can make a normal person emotional, say black as white, white as purple, and logical and self-consistent.

Of course, basketball itself has a lot of uncertainty, and the NBA is a place where miracles are born.

So, it's normal to be crazy.

Li Liang doesn't care if the Heat and the Knicks win or lose, he has more to gain.

The Heat's defense tonight was a big inspiration for him.

He realised that he wasn't enough to contain Odom in that 1999 game and push his score down to 10 points.

He needs the help of his team-mates, the help of the system, and then he needs a little bit of luck.

After returning to the hotel, Li Liang picked up Wei Dazhi's computer and watched the 1999-2000 supersonic game carefully.

In the 90s, the SuperSonics were also a defensive powerhouse.

George Karl hadn't given up on treatment at that time, focusing on offense and defense like the Nuggets.

The defensive characteristics of the supersonic are simple, that is, relying on tall forwards and constantly wrapping the ball carriers.

This is a bit similar to this year's Heat, except that the Heat interior line is weaker, while the supersonic dry interior line is a good hand.

The supersonic outside has such a big lock as Gary Payton.

Although he is a point guard, he is physically strong, tall enough, and has a lot of hand movements.

In the two missions, Li Liang relied on himself to deal with it, and never made good use of the supersonic defensive system to call his teammates for help.

The 2000 superSonics no longer had the defensive intensity they had in the mid-90s, but the basics were still there.

Li Liang thought that he should make good use of it, otherwise Odom would be really difficult to deal with.

As the administrator of the royal water cooler on the bench of the University of Kentucky, Li Liang's knowledge of tactical theory is quite rich.

And he is not a keyboard warrior like Wei Dazhi, he has really practiced together in a high-level team and has a good understanding of tactics.

He used to be a sparring partner in the team, often playing a defensive role.

So, with a plan in his heart, he knows what to do.

After returning to the hotel at night and going to bed with the lights out, he entered the [Almighty King] system.

[Welcome back to the All-Around King's Training Ground, visitor: Bruce Lee, 6'9 tall and 230 pounds.] 】

During this period of exercise and fun, Li Liang's weight increased to 230 pounds, and it was all muscles.

Continuing with the [Containment of Odom's Debut] mission, he returned to the Staples Center, and Peyton stood next to him and chewed gum again.

"Defend well, boy, you're not here to play." Peyton still said that.

This time, Li Liang had an idea and said, "Boss, I think I need your help, Odom, this kid, I want to suppress him." ”

Peyton said, "Do you have a grudge against him?" That kid is a little uncomfortable to look at. ”

Li Liang hurriedly accosted: "That's right, when I was just warming up, he told me that I would score 30 points on my head, and I told him that it was impossible, Lao Tzu would let you get 10 points at most." ”

Peyton said, "What are you talking about, 10 points?" You shouldn't let him score. I'll help you and teach him a lesson. ”

Li Liang smoothly said that Peyton, this old boy likes to bully rookies, and Odom hit the muzzle of the gun.

It seems that every time this system is taught, there are a lot of things worth pondering.

If Li Liang hadn't talked to Peyton, he might not have been able to complete this task.

After the game started, as before, Odom didn't play much in the first quarter.

And Li Liang ran aggressively and attacked, although he did not score, but caused Odom to commit a foul.

Li Liang concluded that in order to contain the opponent on the defensive end, the offensive end must also create problems for the opponent.

Fouling him, draining his stamina, and disrupting his rhythm can affect the opponent's offense.

In the second quarter, this was when Odom was in power, Payton was sitting off the court at this time, and Li Liang was beaten into two by Odom, 4 points.

When the main players came back from rest, Payton began to assist Li Liang in defense.

Odom likes to dribble and cut in from the outside, Li Liang gave way to the middle to let him go, and Odom went straight into the three-second zone.

As a result, as soon as I raised my hand, the ball was gone.

Payton came over from the other side and cut the ball straight away from Odom.

A successful defense, supersonic fast counterattack, Li Liang took the lead, received Payton's pass, and made a layup!

No.

Sorry, this goal can be scored, but it is not necessary.

Anyway, the supersonic speed was already ahead, and Li Liang didn't want to make it worse, so he played it.

"Hit the boy well, don't score this goal?"

Payton complained, turned around, and continued to help defend because the score didn't stretch away.

Li Liang still gave way to the middle lane, and this time Odom did not go to the middle, but went to the side, using the advantage of strength to grind in.

In the previous game, Odom relied on this move to hit several times, crushing to the inside, hitting the space with his body, and then throwing a small throw.

This time, Li Liang was prepared and stood up, and Odom knocked Li Liang down with a "bang".

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and blew Odom for an offensive foul.

“Yes！” Li Liang, who succeeded in making a foul, got up and re-entered the game.

failed to fight twice in a row, Odom was of course not convinced, and he had to continue to fight.

At this time, he had already committed two fouls on his back, and two unsuccessful breakthroughs in a row, so he chose to shoot directly after a few tentative steps on the outside.

"Dang!" Striking iron.

Odom's direct pull-up jump shot is not Odom's forte, his shot is a malfunctioning shot, and once he doesn't play well, he won't be able to shoot accurately.

As a rookie, Odom missed several consecutive offenses, and even if he was a key training target, his teammates would not let him continue to play.

After all, his talent and status in the team are not up to the level of Durant and James.

Li Liang is more and more experienced in defense, not only cooperating with Payton, but also establishing contact with Hollis Grant on the inside.

When he was in Kentucky, Calipari put a lot of emphasis on defense, and the defenders had to keep yelling during the game.

Because the offensive team is facing the basket, the ball carrier can see his teammates.

The defender is a passive side, most of the time with his back to the basket, and the defender on the perimeter often can't see where his teammates are standing.

If you don't yell, if you don't communicate, there will be all kinds of holes on the defensive end.

Dealing with a player like Odom, who has a flexible and versatile style of play, requires team assistance.

At halftime, Odom scored a total of four points, and his mentality was a little shaken.

In the original history, he played well in the second quarter, and then played more and more smoothly before winning a stunning debut.

Like a rookie player, his mentality and experience are insufficient, and he will not adjust when he encounters trouble in the game, and a collapse is a blood collapse.

By the third quarter, Odom stopped his offense after missing two three-point attempts from the outside, and his confidence was lost.

Supersonic slowly widened the difference, and Li Liang also hit two three-pointers, and he couldn't keep dragging his feet.

Because of their excellent defense, the SuperSonics turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.

Of course, Li Liang asked George Karl not to change himself, as long as Odom is there, he will stay.

Li Liang was careful not to foul, and then tried not to let Odom catch the ball, and he didn't let Odom score points in garbage time.

In the end, Odom was really anxious, and angrily pushed Li Liang in the attack, and ate a technical foul.

Then he chattered with the referee, and this newcomer, who was already more impulsive and funny, was directly expelled from the referee.

This time Li Liang was brisk and ejected, and Odom's score stayed at 7 points.

Before leaving the game, Odom also questioned Li Liang: "Do you have something wrong with your brain?" Why target me? ”

Li Liang just smiled and said, "Welcome to the NBA." ”

The buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and Li Liang breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on the floor.

Mission accomplished.

The Staples Arena slowly disappeared, and the fans and players disappeared into the darkness.

[Congratulations on completing the 'Containing Odom's debut' mission, +8 (49) for basic defense on the outside, +5 (43) for lateral movement, +5 (41) for sticking/following defense, +5 (25) for steals, and +5 (51) for defensive positioning and anticipation.] Prizes: Basic Defensive Multiplier on the Outside, Special Item 'Dr. Naismith's Ball Blind Discriminator'. 】

Li Liang looked at this reward, the value-added agent was not new, and he could take a dose today, raising the basic defensive ability to 50.

But what is this "ball blind dissolver"?
