Chapter 496: All-out confrontation

The proxy war has been fought for a long time, and the main lord will go into battle shirtless after all.

James came prepared, but he should be able to see that Li Liang came prepared as well.

Banned for two games, Li Liang is not just playing in the system at home.

He has a system, he doesn't need to watch the video to study James's ball path, he goes directly to the personal training center, asks "James" himself, and just conducts actual combat drills by the way.

Li Liang's resources can be said to be unprecedented, and he is directly sparring by the superstars of the alliance, and he also analyzes his weaknesses and advantages one by one to Li Liang.

James is not as complicated as Kobe Bryant in terms of individual offensive skills, he is a typical epee without a blade, and he is not skillful.

So if you want to deal with James, first of all, you must pass the basic physical fitness, otherwise you will be blind no matter how you learn.

James accelerates and runs over, just like a tank, whatever pose you pose, the end result is a burp.

Therefore, Li Liang only improved his core strength in the past four or five days to resist the impact of James.

Also, although James' outside shooting is not top-notch, once it is shot, it is also at the level of God Blocking and Killing.

James' shooting sensation must be curbed from the very beginning.

James received the ball on the outside, Li Liang did not play against James, and James was in front of Griffin.

Once facing Griffin, James immediately dribbled down the crotch, accelerated to break through the middle, and then hit the basket for a layup to score two points.

After James scored, Li Liang stepped forward and asked: "Why, I don't dare to attack when I defend, do I only dare to hit Griffin?" ”

James didn't respond, just gave Li Liang a contemptuous look.

The relationship between the two off the field is actually quite good, but it will inevitably be-for-tat on the court.

Not to mention, so far, James has chosen to pass and assist as long as he is against Li Liang in the offense.

Once Li Liang goes to another position to fill the gap, James will go all out to attack and kill the basket, whether he plays Griffin or Barnes.

After the small half of the game, anyone can see that James is a little hiding from Li Liang.

However, James' style of play is extremely rational, and Li Liang's taunts have no effect on him.

James is making himself more efficient in scoring.

It would be unwise to play against Li Liang in the early stages of the game.

According to the team's data analysis, Li Liang is very efficient when he is one-on-one on the outside.

Especially in defense of James, although there are not many games with James, Li Liang is really restrained against James in terms of defensive characteristics.

Li Liang is afraid of Anthony, afraid of Durant, but not afraid of James.

This thing is smart, and he can make fouls, his body can play inside, he doesn't suffer, and his actions are in place.

Before Li Liang entered the league, there was a team that defended James well.

They had Ci Shiping (then called Atai) and Battier double gates on the outside, and Yao Ming guarding the three-second zone on the inside.

James has been defended with no more than 10 points in a single game.

Li Liang can say that there is a faint tendency to combine the advantages of Battier and Atai.

Although he is still a step behind in terms of heat, experience, and skill, he is already the best player in the league to deal with James.

James didn't want to spend time with him too early, but wanted to save his stamina and talk about it later.

And what about Li Liang?

Lao Tzu thinks so too!

James is strong and defensive...... Although because of academic qualifications, like Kobe, some habits are not very good.

It is mainly based on passion and instinct to defend.

However, after 10 years of accumulation, James' defense has been excellent.

And he has his own defensive characteristics, James is relatively large, so he can't be as "entangled" as Kobe Bryant.

James plays "anticipation" when defending, attacking when necessary, being steady and ruthless, and directly inflicting damage on the opponent.

If it is not necessary, James will be relatively restrained, save stamina, and also prevent fouls.

James and Kobe Bryant can be said to be two extremes.

James is extremely talented in this area, with a first-class physique, and he is also very good at predicting that he has been learning continuously.

James' cap-chasing is a must-have in the league and can play a key role in key moments.

When facing a "predictive" defense like James, many players will even have psychological shadows, resulting in deformation of offensive movements.

It can be said that this is already the highest level of good defenders.

Li Liang felt it in the first quarter that James was prepared tonight, and that block could be seen that James would definitely target himself on the defensive end.

Therefore, Li Liang also came to avoid his edge and save his energy for the second half.

In the second quarter, the two sides changed horses, and the battle became more and more intense.

The kind of high-intensity confrontation defense in the first quarter eased as the referee's whistle confrontation control eased.

The game was more of a fast-paced game for the Clippers.

However, the Heat are not afraid to play fast-paced games, and their roster is destined to be fast or slow.

In order to cope with the Heat's strong pressing defense, the Clippers chose to simplify their play and add Crawford and Griffin's singles.

Crawford scored 15 points in the second quarter to shore up the Clippers' offense.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was fixed at 54:57, and the Clippers led the Heat by three points, ending the first half.

Although the first half of the game was intense, the Li Liang vs James duel that the audience wanted to see was rarely in the game.

Both sides were avoiding each other, and James was putting more energy into passing, playmaking.

Li Liang is more defensive and trusts Griffin and Crawford offensively.

Crawford, in particular, gave the Clippers a great boost with his fiery touch.

Especially in the last offense of the first half, Crawford hit a three-pointer against the defense of three Heat players!

It was a beautiful goal, Crawford looked thin, but he shot a high-arc ultra-long three-pointer and hollowed it into the net!

It was this goal that allowed the Clippers to lead the Heat at halftime.

The ball was defended by James, and if the referee blew it strictly, it could actually give a three-point foul.

James had a slight encroachment on Crawford's shooting cylinder.

However, in the last shot, the referee relented, and the half was over.

At halftime, the TV station compared the data of Li Liang and James.

Li Liang had 6 points in the half, 10 rebounds plus 2 blocks and 2 assists, which is simply an inside statistic.

And in the first half, Li Liang didn't hit a three-point shot, and he made a total of two three-point shots, but he didn't make any shots.

James' nine points in the half, six assists plus one block and two steals were not particularly conspicuous.

But the direct confrontation between the two will soon come in the third quarter.

……

The short break passed quickly and the two sides returned to the pitch.

James and Li Liang stood on the court, glanced at each other, did not speak, and returned to their own half.

The good players have a good understanding with each other and they know that this is the third quarter that will determine the trend of the game, and it is time to really show their quality.

Li Liang pinched his nose, he has not used any props so far in the game.

Does he think he can beat James without relying on props?

Or do you want to give it a try, you don't use props, can you compete with James?

Shit.

He hasn't figured out what props and skills to use!

It's distressing.

Now some useful props and skills, Li Liang doesn't want to use them much in the regular season.

After all, some props run out and won't be used in the future, and he wants to wait until the crucial playoff stage to use them.

Some props, fucking are cheating goods, such as [Cuttinger's box], which can be used for tasks, how to use it in competitions?

The three-point shooting rate improvement sticker has limited time, which is suitable for sharp knives and sharp weapons, and is not suitable for all-round confrontation.

What Li Liang wants to do is an all-out confrontation with James.

At the Lakers, Kobe Bryant did the job.

At the Clippers, the mission was his.

James had the same idea as Li Liang, and at the beginning of the third quarter, he tried to turn on the individual offensive mode.

In the first attack, James faced Li Liang with the ball in the bottom corner of the right side, and after trying to step forward, he chose to force a three-point shot and missed it.

This is a signal.

A sign that James is going to begin a full-scale confrontation.

James had already waited for half-time.
