Chapter 685: True Genius
Rose contributed a goal from his prime, nice acceleration, beautiful passes, beautiful layups.
It's something he's done every night of his MVP season, and it's 2011, he's only in his third year, and his future is limitless.
If Rose had Li Liang's [ugly knee pads], it was really hard to say whether the Bulls would have one more championship trophy in team history.
With Li Liang re-appearing, the main forces of both sides gradually returned.
After a disastrous first quarter, the Bulls, led by Rose, are slowly coming back from their bad form and regaining their confidence.
Confidence is very important, and from this point of view, Li Liang's confidence is definitely the number one in the league, and the confidence is unparalleled.
He managed to steal Rose's crossover, and he changed direction without slowing down.
This trick is a very difficult technique in dribbling skills, and the dribbling technique, ball sense, and physical fitness do not reach a certain level, and cannot be performed in high-intensity games in the NBA.
Li Liang's daily excellence is generally ...... He generally can't get by.
He's mostly using his speed and his strong body to squeeze through defenders.
Of course, because of his huge three-point threat, the opponent did not dare to defend too far away from him, which made it convenient for Li Liang to break through.
Butler, who was defending Li Liang, was like this, staring at Li Liang tightly from the backcourt, not daring to go too far.
You're far away, this thing dares to shoot directly from the middle line, and it can still go in.
As a result, Li Liang suddenly accelerated after half time, and after getting rid of Butler, Noah came over in the middle to block it.
Li Liang felt as if the ball was sticking to his hand and became one with himself.
No matter how he plays with the ball or how he steps it, it will be obedient and obedient, like a puppy on a leash and nesting in his hands.
Accelerate, change direction, pass!
Noah felt his feet twist a little.
The defender cannot think with his brain, he can only rely on neuroconditioning.
Noah's conditioned reflex was, "Li Liang went to the left, and I also went to the left, but why did he go to the right again, I also went to the right, but it was too late!" ”
The result of being too late was to mix garlic under his feet, and then the center of gravity of the whole body fell backwards, because Li Liang had already broken through!
Noah fell to the ground with a butt, and watched Li Liang enter the three-second zone after entering the three-second zone, he had entered a no-man's land, and he succeeded in splitting with one hand!
The Bulls' defenders didn't expect that Li Liang could break through Noah's defense in such a way, but there was no one under the basket.
It's useless for someone to be, Li Liang's speed has not weakened at all, and a person will either send a foul or be deducted, and be the background board of the top five balls.
After the ball was scored, the Consec Arena didn't make any noise for a while.
Because no one knew that Li Liang would score goals in such a way.
At the scene, there were also fans in front of the TV who had long been accustomed to his ultra-long three-pointers, his shooting on the board, the super savage power he occasionally showed, and his stealing frontcourt rebounds.
They weren't used to the kid's ball-handling breakaways, their crossovers, the spear-wielding style of attacking that pierced the opposition's defence.
To be honest, even Li Liang himself is not used to it.
After the dunk was successful, he didn't roar, beat his chest, or do push-ups on his stomach.
He just landed carefully and ran back to defend himself.
On the way back, the audience finally reacted, and the cheers detonated the audience!
The big screen at the scene repeatedly replayed this shot, Noah was shaken down, and Li Liang smashed into the basket and dunked.
"Oh no! What is it? What is it? Bruce Lee ...... See, Larry, see? He did what you can't do! ”
Miller was already on the commentator's bench and started to laugh at Larry Bird about the ball, and sure enough, it was a trash talk ten.
Indeed, such a crossover plus a dunk under the basket is really not something Bird can do.
Bird himself wondered, when did this kid do this?
I don't usually see him practicing.
He turned his head to look at Mike Brown, who scratched his head thoughtfully.
It doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't do this once or twice, it's good if he can win, no matter how he learns.
Although this goal is only two points, it is a very big blow to the morale of the Bulls and a significant morale boost for the Pacers.
Immediately after, Rose also wanted to return the opponent on the offensive end, but after getting rid of the continuous dribble, he made a pull-up jump shot at the right corner and missed.
His knees no longer allow him to make the breakthrough that he had just done.
Once young and frivolous, Rose tried his best for almost every ball, dunks in the air, forced the basket, dunked with both hands, and ran long distances.
And every time the dunk landed, Rose was more casual and did not deliberately protect it.
As a result, he suffered too many impacts to his knees, and the impact was too strong, and finally he couldn't bear it, causing a major injury.
After returning from injury, his explosiveness and knee flexibility can no longer be the same as in the past.
If Rose is lucky enough to be teammates with Li Liang once, Li Liang will give him a bone-setting pill, which may help him recover a lot.
Although there is no way to recover to the top, it is not easy to be so injured in the future.
Just look at Granger right now, he hasn't missed a game since returning to the Pacers and is playing better and better.
By the end of the regular season, he was averaging 17 points per game with the Pacers, 70 percent of his prime.
The jumper missed, and Rose's scoring spree came to an end.
Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Pacers counterattacked.
Hill missed a three-point shot from the outside, Noah got a rebound in the backcourt, and made a long pass to Butler, who received the ball and made a layup.
But Li Liang immediately returned the color, he held the ball again to change direction to break through Butler, followed by a pull-up jump shot, and the right side of the 45-degree board successful.
This set is quite Kevin Durant's style.
Among tall players, Kevin Durant's ball sense and crossover are truly superb.
And Li Liang actually showed such a hand, which is really amazing.
Tom Thibodeau was speechless when he saw Li Liang's performance like this.
He spread his hands and muttered, "Foul, this TM foul!" ”
For Thibodeau, Li Liang was a foul at all.
There are still people who can hide tricks? The regular season is so long, you don't even need to use the tricks you know, and then use them in the playoffs?
Thibodeau thought that Li Liang was a hidden move, but in fact, where is Li Liang's hidden move, this product is now learned!
As soon as the time came, Li Liang naturally couldn't use it, and the result of using it again was that the person had passed, but the ball had not passed.
The ball was split and the ball was gone.
By the time Li Liang's skills expired, the situation on the court had become extremely unfavorable for the bulls.
Thibodeau tried to make the team regain a little feeling in the second energy, but was pressed down by Li Liang again.
At that juncture, Li Liang used unexpected techniques to disrupt the morale and rhythm of the bull.
By the end of the second quarter, the Pacers had extended the margin to 30 points.
At 73:43, the Pacers scored 70 points in the half, beating the Bulls into pigs' heads.
……
At halftime, Bird couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to ask Li Liang, "Bruce, who taught you that trick?" ”
Li Liang didn't expect Bird to be quite interested in this kind of thing, let you say something every day, "It's time to catch up with me", Lao Tzu TM is not catching up with you this time, but surpassing you!
Li Liang replied: "Well, what Mike taught me, I practice every day, but I don't want to use it in normal competitions." I just felt the need to hit my opponent, and, anyway, I was able to do it, you know, I'm a genius who plays on the spot. ”
Although Bird is a little unconvinced, any on-the-spot play is a fart, and any seemingly simple skill in the NBA needs to be honed thousands of times in daily training until muscle memory and conditioned reflexes are formed, so that they can be used freely.
But Li Liang's performance is obvious to all, and now the TV station is estimated to be replaying the slow motion of Li Liang's ball just now.
Therefore, Bird believes that Li Liang must have hidden tricks, and he has been tempered thousands of times every day, but he doesn't know where he got so much time and where he trained.
Li Liang seemed to see through Bird's thoughts, and said, "Larry, don't think about it, let me tell me, I'm a genius." ”
Bedner pursed his lips and said, "I know, I know what genius is like, because I am too." ”
I TM... I was pretended to be forced by you again.
However, Li Liang knew that Bird was indeed a great genius.
When he played basketball for the first time in his life, he touched the basketball for the first time, and he beat the opponent to the last game and didn't dare to play with him anymore, saying "give me the ball and I'm going home".
Isn't that true genius?
