Of course, James came prepared, because from that summer onwards, his goal was to defeat Li Liang.

It's ridiculous to think that a superstar who has been in the league for 10 years, won 3 MVPs and won a championship, and all he thinks about all summer is trying to beat a rookie.

But it can't be helped, 60 points is too much damage, 2 points more than 58 points.

Moreover, the unique temperament shown by Li Liang, the luck of a dragon slaying knife at the beginning, and the riotous operation of changing teams immediately after winning the championship made James feel a huge threat.

Any man sitting on the throne must have a strong desire for power and sufficient sensitivity.

Any possible threat should be detected early and nipped.

Of course, in a real power struggle, it is possible to eliminate the other.

On the basketball court, unless you curse your opponent for a broken leg or a broken hand, all you can do is improve yourself and make yourself stronger.

And constantly study the opponent, study his style of play, and crack his style of play.

In addition to playing and training to improve himself this season, James spent a lot of time studying Li Liang's videos and studying his style of play.

Needless to say, Li Liang's sharp three-point shot is a problem in the whole league, and the only way to solve it is to rely on the strength of the team.

and his unique pull-up jump shot, which is also unique in the league, and I have never seen him use the pull-up jump shot so widely and skillfully.

The point is, since I was a child, no one has played like this.

Now most players in the league grew up in the 90s and 00s, and in that era, how could there be coaches who taught children to use fast-break jumpers?

When you get to the bottom of the basket, you don't get a layup if you can dunk it, and you still jump shots.

To be honest, if you don't grasp the rhythm of the jump shot well, it is easy to get a hat.

Li Liang didn't know which era he learned basketball skills, and this stop-and-go jump shot made James a lot of ugliness in the finals.

Thinking about chasing the big hat, a sudden brake, the ball has been thrown.

He himself flew out like a fool, and then turned his head and the ball was in.

And Li Liang doesn't just stop and shoot jumpers, if you slow down and want to step on the point, he will go straight to the basket when he accelerates.

For an Asian player like Li Liang, whose speed and explosiveness are not an advantage, this cunning offensive method is perfect for him.

Therefore, James is seriously studying and simulating the emergency stop-up jump shot of defending Li Liang in training.

Just that ball stepped on the right step, Li Liang was also careless, and James seized the opportunity.

Li Liang's mind turned quickly, and he knew at once that James was going to target himself.

Collison then drew a foul on the Heat on offense and hit both free throws.

On the Heat side, Wade cut through the middle again, James made a precise pass to Wade, and Wade shook off Barnes for a layup.

Barnes' defense will undoubtedly be a major challenge tonight, and how his footsteps will deal with Wade will be a big question.

The Heat then showed their pressing power on defense.

forced the Clippers to quickly transfer the ball from the outside, and finally gave it to Li Liang, who wanted to pass the ball to Jordan Jr. in an empty spot after Li Liang broke through the basket in one step.

Little Jordan jumped up, but the ball didn't come.

Because James touched the ball in the air and knocked it down.

Another successful interception, James successfully defended Li Liang twice in a row.

Then, the Heat hit the back again, and this moment it was Bosh who moved inside and James dropped the ball.

After Bosh received the ball, he immediately attracted the defense of the three insiders and immediately divided the ball into the bottom corner.

Battier catches the ball and hits a three-point shot from the bottom corner!

The Heat's positional offense, with James' superb playmaking and passing skills, infiltrated the Clippers' defense cleanly.

But the Clippers' response came quickly.

The Clippers served quickly in the backcourt, and Collison attacked the frontcourt, and then distributed the ball to Li Liang, who was following up.

Li Liang made a feint after receiving the ball, and did not deceive James who kept up with the defense, but then changed direction and dribbled, and actually passed James and rushed to the basket!

This time there was no one to defend under the basket, Li Liang didn't have to stop the jump shot anymore, he rushed forward directly and dunked with both hands!

If it was Li Liang last season, James would have defended this ball very well.

He kept staring at Li Liang, knowing that he would shoot directly outside the three-point line after receiving the pass in the counterattack.

Once the rhythm is on the point, Li Liang's three-point shooting rate is very high.

So James is to follow up, interfering with Li Liang's shooting from the side and back, and at the same time not rushing too hard, in case he fakes to pass himself.

If Li Liang's dribbling ability is insufficient, he can't shoot the ball, and he can't pass the dribble if he wants to, so he can only return the ball to his teammates and re-attack the position.

James formed a successful defense.

How do you know that Li Liang's dribble change direction is done neatly, although it is not gorgeous, but it is enough to pass James.

Then he went inside and got a dunk.

James looked at Li Liang and said in his heart that he should be impressed by Shibei for three days.

Li Liang's ball holding level has indeed improved a lot this season.

Mike Brown, who was sitting on the bench, felt that Li Liang hadn't played in the past few days, so why did it seem that the dribble was better?

Subsequently, both sides failed to hit on both occasions and the match went into an official timeout.

The score was tied at 9-6, and the Heat temporarily led the Clippers by three points.

Li Liang reminded Barnes during the timeout that the two would switch positions defensively when the time came.

Li Liang will pay attention to Wade's follow-up, and at the same time ask Barnes and Griffin to pay attention to the marking of James.

Rivers said, "Bruce, you still keep an eye on James with all your might." “

Li Liang said: "Don't worry, James wants to pretend to be forced, and he won't attack with all his strength in the first quarter." ”

Rivers has nothing to say, whatever you say is what you say.

As the season wore on, Rivers felt more and more like he wasn't useful.

Talking doesn't work when you're paused!

Sometimes Li Liang choked him back with two sentences.

What's even worse is that there is a Paul sitting on the sidelines, and this thing has to come with two sentences from time to time!

Mike Brown and the others are at ease, watching the game with peace of mind, and not worrying about it at all.

After the timeout, as Li Liang said, James basically had no desire to attack in the first quarter.

Griffin or Barnes, just have one of them watch in front of him.

The Heat's offense still revolves around Wade and Bosh.

Li Liang switched to Wade, the situation was different, Li Liang's footsteps were very fast, and he could keep up with Wade's footsteps.

And the hand action is in place, Wade failed to break through twice, passed to the outside, and the Heat did not hit.

On the contrary, the Clippers still adhere to the concept of fast offense, regardless of whether the Heat score or not, they will quickly serve to the front court in the backcourt, and score three points or rush to the basket when they have the opportunity.

This offensive model is somewhat similar to the Suns of the past, but there are also differences.

The Suns' V-shaped attack is to pull away, and the wings are particularly deep.

The advantage of this is that it hits the opponent harder.

The downside is that a quick counterattack doesn't succeed, and retreating will be a big problem.

Your two fronts have all gone down to the bottom, and if you go too deep, you won't be far away from running back.

The Clippers' quick counterattack is a single arrow, mainly Griffin rushes to the basket, the rush is unsuccessful, and there will be someone in the two 45 degrees, or someone in the middle will cut in.

At 45 degrees, you have three points when you have a chance, and you don't have a chance to stop and play position.

If a quick counterattack fails, the flanks will immediately retreat to prevent the opponent from attacking easily.

Barnes hit two consecutive three-pointers midway through the first quarter to help the Clippers tie the score.

Barnes' three-point shooting has been in good shape lately, and I don't know how long it can last.

And James felt as if he was being ignored, and immediately burst into the basket, dunked with both hands, and scored two points.

Tell the Clippers not to underestimate his prowess on the offensive end.

Jordan Jr. was a little dazed by the Heat's big four guys tonight.

You let him squat under the basket, the Heat's offensive formation is so open that he can't squat under the basket at all.

Bosh will shoot him through the horns.

The result of not squatting under the basket is to be constantly infiltrated by the heat.

At the same time, Jordan Jr. is different from Hibbert, although Hibbert will face similar problems on the defensive end, Hibbert can punish the Heat offensively, Jordan Jr. cannot.

It would be nice if he didn't punish the Clippers on the offensive end.

The two sides fought fairly fiercely in the first quarter, and by the middle of the first quarter, both sides began to slow down.

Without Paul, the Clippers' offense will inevitably be sloppy, and the turnovers will increase a lot with each game.

And in the first section, Li Liang's organization showed little effect.

James' defense against Li Liang was quite successful, and every move was targeted.

Except for the dunk that made Li Liang pick up a leak, everything else was done very well.

However, Li Liang doesn't seem to have any intention of competing with James, he is also accumulating strength, waiting for an opportunity.

How can the duel with the strongest player be so simple.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 30-28, and the Heat led the Clippers by two points on the road.

Li Liang and James both went off the game in the last two minutes and switched to the second lineup.

James had four points, four assists, two rebounds and two blocks in the first quarter.

These two blocks were obtained in front of Li Liang.

Li Liang only scored 2 points, made 0 of 1 3-pointers, only 1 assist, and took 5 rebounds.

Because Little Jordan is a little weak on the inside tonight, he needs Li Liang's support.

Li Liang was drinking water on the bench, already thinking about what to do next.
