Chapter 618: I think the question is simple
Li Liang has an advantage that he thinks about the problem more directly and simply.
As the father of the system, the chosen son, what player's tempering, the road to growth, how to see the rainbow without wind and rain... What the hell do you care?
If I go through these things, won't the system give it to me in vain?
After the start of the new season, although Li Liang became the core of the Pacers, he did not "focus on me".
It's been accommodating other people's playing styles and accommodating the coach's tactics.
If you let me play center, I will play center, let me play inside, I will play inside, let me lead the whole team, and I will lead the whole team.
Okay, I'm playing center, but you guys are throwing the ball in for me, huh?
I'm driving the whole team, giving you advice, passing the ball, and bringing rhythm to the whole court, you guys are playing well and playing a bit of a strong team temperament!
As a result, no, the three-point shooting rate has improved compared to before, but there is still no qualitative improvement.
There are still too few bright spots on the offensive end, and once the offense starts, the defense is lost.
Are you all in the same vein?
With offense, there will be no defense?
I'm good!
I'm not going to play with you anymore!
Li Liang wanted to put the team together as soon as possible and correctly establish the advanced combat effectiveness of the Pacers men's basketball team with Comrade Bruce Lee as the core.
As a result, the establishment is established, but the combat effectiveness is not advanced, and it feels a little backward.
Mike Brown has no big or small lineup, and his level of play is very inconsistent.
Brown has always said that this lineup will not be able to perform at its best until George Hill returns.
I believe you are a ghost, every day my mother lied to me to play center, wearing a body of steel, and even the shooting percentage has dropped.
I won't play with you anymore, and when George Hill comes back and the team's outside three-point shooting rate increases, let's talk about a small lineup.
After Li Liang left Bird's words, he went to his seat and sat down to sleep.
He soon fell asleep and then into the system.
Li Liang has not been on the plane for a long time and entered the system to do tasks.
Because of flying everywhere during the season, I am still very tired physically and mentally, and I need to rest well.
Li Liang has passed the period when he needs to quickly improve his strength, and now many tasks are not so simple.
This time it was different, Li Liang was angry.
He did not hesitate to click into the dimension of [Scoring Ability] and chose the [Strong Three-Point Shot] option.
This ability is exactly 60 ability points, and the task of this project has always been difficult, but the benefits are great.
Every time a mission is completed, you can get a qualitative leap in your ability points.
Li Liang entered the mission-
[Mission: King of the Rush, Time: June 6, 2004, Location: Stamp Center, Los Angeles, USA, Matchup: Detroit Pistons VS Los Angeles Lakers, Mission Requirements: Replace Kobe, help the Lakers win the first game of the Finals, and hit at least six three-pointers, Mission Reward: Strong Shooting Three-Point Ability Value +20, Special Props, Mission Difficulty: Superstar]
It's a bit of a difficult task.
It was the famous 2004 Lakers upset defeat to the Pistons in the Finals.
In the finals, the F4 Lakers lacked Malone, and Kobe Bryant played poorly, and was unexpectedly defeated by the Pistons 4:1 and lost the championship.
Among them, in the first game of the finals, the Lakers were defeated.
In the previous three-round series, the Lakers remained undefeated at home.
As a result, in the finals, when everyone was not optimistic about the Pistons, the first game was broken.
Even in the second game, the Lakers relied on Kobe's quasi-stunner to drag into overtime and barely pull back a city, and then lost three games in a row in Detroit, which shows that they are over.
Li Liang is now replacing Kobe Bryant and coming to the first game of this crucial Finals, and it is indeed very difficult to help the Lakers win, and to hit at least six three-pointers.
Of course, Li Liang feels that it is not so difficult to help the Lakers win, and he is now an MVP-level player.
Besides, he replaced Kobe Bryant, and in terms of Kobe's performance in the finals, Li Liang felt that he might be better than Kobe Bryant if he didn't do anything.
Just give the ball to O'Neill!
But the task doesn't allow it, you have to score at least six three-pointers, it's very difficult.
Historically, Kobe Bryant shot 1 of 6 three-pointers in this game, and the shooting percentage was low.
And the Lakers' opponent, the Detroit Pistons in 2004, can be said to be a team that plays defense to the extreme.
In the first game, they only allowed the firepower Lakers to score 75 points.
In the regular season, he often let the opponent score no more than 80, and suppressed the opponent's score below 70 points for 5 consecutive games.
You know, more than 60 points are often the halftime score of NBA games now.
The Pistons' perverted defense to the extreme has led the league to change its rules to free up the firepower of perimeter players.
So in 2005, the outside players ushered in an explosion of scoring, because the rules were changed.
But the mission was in 2004, which was the peak of the Pistons' defense, and it was not wrong that the difficulty of this task was ranked as a "superstar".
For Li Liang, it is basically impossible to complete this task at one time.
Sure enough, Li Liang slept on the plane for more than two hours, but when he woke up, his eyes were bloodshot.
Mike Brown, who was sitting next to him, saw him and asked, "Hi Bruce, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Liang replied: "I had a nightmare. ”
"What nightmare?"
"I dreamed that I became Kobe."
"Oh... It's horrible. ”
……
The mission was not completed, but that didn't stop Li Liang from starting to change his style of play.
Many players who have become the core will choose to come by themselves when their teammates can't help enough to win.
Jordan has done this, Kobe Bryant has done this, and Li Liang looks like he is going down a path that has proven to be the wrong one.
But for Li Liang, there is only one truth to test whether a path is correct: whether it can win the game.
On the evening of Dec. 4, the Pacers challenged the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center.
Li Liang was on fire from the beginning of the first quarter, hitting consecutive three-point shots from the outside.
The 18 points in the first quarter helped the Pacers take a double-digit lead.
In the second quarter, Li Liang had no intention of stopping, he put on the [Iron Body] suit, kept using McGee's blocking and dismantling basket, and scored points with close-range stop-and-go jumpers.
What points, what assists, never do it deliberately.
You're capable of creating offensive opportunities on your own, and I, Bruce Lee, can wipe your ass, but won't shit for you.
Li Liang's strong offense allowed the Pacers to establish an advantage in the score early.
In fact, the personal ability of the Pacers' players is still very good, and others don't say it, the talents of the three fools are all leveraged.
When the score is up and they have room to play, the Pacers' offense suddenly becomes simpler.
Stephenson and J.R. Smith both hit difficult goals to help the Pacers widen the gap.
The Trail Blazers won in the playoffs last season against the Rockets, which was a bit inflated, and as a result, they were taught a lesson by Li Liang and the Clippers in the semifinals.
So like the Lone Ranger, the Pioneer has no way to take Li Liang.
In the first half, Li Liang made 7 of 11 three-pointers, and the bombers scored 31 points in the half.
In the system, Li Liang's three-point shot was exploded by the Pistons, and in the real game, relying on runes and skills, in the face of loose defense, he could finally shoot happily.
The Trail Blazers were immediately defeated by Li Liang's crazy three-point shot.
44:67 at halftime, trailing the Pacers by 23 points!
That's a bit of a big difference.
In the third quarter, Li Liang did not miss the opportunity to continue to ravage his opponent.
He still seized every opportunity to score points on the head of the Trailblazers, as if he were picking up something.
As soon as the third quarter began, Li Liang found that the [Garbage King] medal in his body lit up.
It looks like he's in great shape tonight, and he's in his own territory.
Once in the state, Li Liang, who focuses on attacking, is terrifying.
He hit seven three-pointers in the first half and continued his three-point performance.
Later, Batum, who was defending Li Liang, was scared, and when he saw that Li Liang was going to make a move, he rushed up to foul in advance, big brother, don't vote, home, save me some face.
At the end of the third quarter, Li Liang scored 49 points, and he was still 1 point short of 50 points.
As he sat back on the bench, Bird asked him, "Bruce, are you going to play in the fourth quarter?" ”
"Will you still be on it if you change it?"
"I'm definitely going to take a shower."
"I'm going to take a shower, too."
