On November 9th, the special edition of "Behind the Scenes of the Lakers" was broadcast on TWC TV, and it took half an hour to recount Li Liang's winning from the University of Kentucky, participating in the draft, conducting tryouts, entering the NBA, and getting amazing performances after the start of the new season.

As soon as it was broadcast, it set off a round of ratings climax, and the ratings of TWC TV station were climbing steadily, reaching the highest peak since the start of the show.

Although it is not yet as big as last year's "Lin Crazy", TWC obviously has a more long-term plan.

This is just part of the documentary on Li Liang, the season has just begun, and they will have more opportunities to build a monument for him and create a new image of a counterattack Chinese player.

After all, unlike Jeremy Lin's New York and New England regions, where white people are the majority, the number of Chinese in Los Angeles, San Francisco, California and other places is very large.

There is a certain market for Chinese players here, otherwise the Warriors would not have signed Jeremy Lin in the first place, but they didn't really pay attention to him.

TWC didn't want to miss Li Liang's opportunity, and his flamboyant on-court personality and passionate style of play were very popular with American fans.

Li Liang's No. 28 jersey sales have skyrocketed during this time, and the Lakers didn't expect anyone to buy Li Liang's jersey before, so the stock is not very sufficient.

Now, the No. 28 jersey in the Lakers' sports and sports stores has been sold out and is desperately being restocked.

Just when the TV station was broadcasting the Bruce Lee special, Li Liang didn't have the opportunity to watch the live broadcast on TV.

On the evening of November 9, in the sixth game of the NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Golden State Warriors at home.

The Lakers started the season really well, without consecutive away games, and after playing the Jazz, they played six home games in a row.

For the Lakers, who are older and plagued by injuries, this is undoubtedly a very good schedule.

Playing at home, players don't have to stay in a slumpy hotel, avoid the torture of long journeys, and drive to the home stadium before the game starts.

After the Lakers won the opening streak, Stamps' tickets were getting harder and harder to buy, and the games were full.

Needless to say, season tickets were sold out early, and some temporary tickets in the back row were hard to find, so you had to book in advance if you wanted to watch the game.

The price of the star seat in the first row is getting higher and higher, faintly returning to the 1980s, and the whole Hollywood stars go to the Great Western Forum to watch the grand occasion in the evening.

This situation will be a kind of pressure for ordinary young players, with so many spectators and such a big battle, the home game may not be as good as the away game.

Li Liang is an exception.

What scene has he never seen? Who went to the Great Western Forum in the 1970s? Who played there?

Lao Tzu also saw Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand on the sidelines.

Who can be on the sidelines of Stamp now...... Oops, Beckham! He's playing soccer in Los Angeles.

Wow, there's also a little plum Leonardo DiCaprio, and there's a supermodel beauty sitting next to her, which seems to be different from the one in the newspaper before.

Who else? Tom Hanks! When I'm older, why do I seem to have age spots on my face?

Oh, and Jabbar, in his brown coat and cap, wouldn't be recognizable if he wasn't too tall and conspicuous.

Li Liang swept the cultural and sports stars sitting on the field during the warm-up, and they were all big names.

Needless to say, a veteran nail farmer like Jack Nicholson, who sits in his seat with sunglasses and stands next to him as a fortune teller.

Playing in Los Angeles is like that, and the audience is bigger than the players on the court, so it's no wonder that the Lakers have always attracted superstars, and they have been developing and bringing in superstars.

Aren't you a superstar, just an ordinary All-Star, worthy of being the top card in the Lakers?

In comparison, the Golden State Warriors who visited today are much more low-key on the cards.

There are no superstars in the team, just young players and the team is in the process of rebuilding.

Including the summer league and preseason, this is the third time the Lakers have played the Warriors this season.

In the summer league, Li Liang and Harris Barnes were kind of bonded, and in the preseason game, they watched the team be slaughtered because they didn't sit on the floor.

This time, Li Liang will not sit on the bench and watch it again.

Of course, after the game started, Li Liang still had to sit on the stool for a while, and he sat very quietly, not noisy or noisy.

He's a lot friendlier to Brown now, he doesn't blow him with a hair dryer anymore, and he knows that Brown will definitely send him on the stage.

Li Liang is already Brown's backgammon point reader, where you won't click there, and if something goes wrong, it will be on you.

The Lakers' current lineup, the most problematic thing is their defense, three old people and one slow with one injury, and the defense is simply in and out casually.

For the Warriors' offense, Li Liang has a deep impression, there are a lot of blocking and dismantling in the horn position, the wing is very aggressive, and the three-point shooting is quite accurate, like Barnes and Thompson, and the outside shot is very decisive.

He thought that the Lakers should have some minor problems after a few minutes, and then it would be his turn to come on the scene to save the world and save Mike Brown!

As a result, the opening game played more than 6 minutes and nearly 7 minutes, and the Lakers beat the Warriors 20:11!

Ci Shiping, the old man who scored five three-pointers in the first five games, shot 2 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter, and stopped the Warriors after hitting a three-pointer at the top of the arc!

Kobe Bryant even surprised the audience with a no?look pass, after grabbing the frontcourt rebound, he did not attack by himself, but waited for Gasol to return to the back insertion, a beautiful pass, Gasol directly rushed to the basket and dunked.

For seven minutes, Mike Brown didn't make any substitutions, because it wasn't necessary, and the Lakers played well.

Li Liang could only applaud his teammates' excellent performance while scolding the warriors in his heart, what kind of garbage is he fighting? The old, weak, sick and disabled Lakers starters can't beat?

The Warriors really didn't play well today, and they always had problems with finishing.

Thompson missed several three-point attempts on the outside, and David Lee on the inside was disrupted with two close layups.

The reason is that Howard's defensive form is okay this time, and after experiencing the ups and downs of form and the slump in the previous game, Howard returned to Los Angeles to adjust his form.

In the first seven minutes of the first quarter at home, he played the best defensive player performance, protecting the basket and the three-second zone well on the inside, so that every Warriors player who broke into the interior could not shoot easily.

It's just that on offense, he still hasn't found his senses, and he only scored 2 points in the 20 points ahead of the Lakers.

During the timeout, Mike Brown asked for an extra dozen inside shots, with Howard as the tactical focus, to consolidate the advantage.

Then, Mike Brown rotated the personnel, Li Liang came on to replace Ci Shiping, Jamison replaced Gasol, and Morris replaced Blake.

It's a decent rotation that was used in the last game, and Brown is trying to fix the rotation slowly.

After Nash's return, put Blake on the bench and put him to compete with Morris and Meeks.

Li Liang is now the number one substitute for the No. 3 position, with Hill or Jamison depending on the situation.

How to keep Howard on the court, on Jamison, if on Gasol, on Jordan Hill, to ensure functional complementarity.

Anyway, Brown thinks very well, as for the effect, it depends on the tacit understanding between the players and the specific use effect.

Li Liang doesn't care, he can play with anyone, anyway, defense and shooting, occasionally standing at the top of the arc to pass and scold, it's still quite comfortable.

And he was ahead in the first quarter, which really made Li Liang unexpected, it was not easy! Able to play a downwind game.

At the end of the timeout, both sides went into the rotation, with the Warriors bringing on Biedrins, Landry and Jack.

The Lakers followed Brown's arrangement and focused their offense on Howard.

Jamison and Li Liang can open up space.

There was also a Kobe Bryant feeding the ball on the outside, and Howard got a one-on-one single.

However, he really couldn't score.

In the face of the offensive end, which is basically useless, and the defensive end has no skills except for the weight that can be carried, there is no skill, and Howard has failed to hit two consecutive low-post strong attacks!

One was a hook in the middle of the basket stride, and he found himself unable to squeeze away from Biedrins with his shoulders.

Once was to be placed under a deep basket, and the strong layup was interfered with by Landry, who came up from behind, and missed.

Taking the opportunity, the Warriors played two quick counter-attacks to score the ball.

The Warriors closed the score gap, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant was no longer willing to pass the ball to Howard.

He beckoned to Howard and motioned for him to come over and make a pick-and-roll.

Howard ran to beyond the three-point line and made a symbolic block.

But his blocking people is not porcelain at all, just for show.

Immediately after the block, he ran inside, and the Warriors' defender drilled a little and immediately returned to the defensive position.

Bryant had to use his speed to force a strong burst from the left, and then observed Li Liang at the top of the arc.

Li Liang received a pass from Kobe, swept his eyes, and found that Howard, who had drilled into the inside, had a chance.

No matter how he played in front of him, Li Liang would pass it when he saw the opportunity.

A through-ball ball went past Barnes' block and into Howard's hands.

Howard misses a small hook on the ball and is fouled by Viedrins and goes to the free throw line.

Still unable to score in the open game, Howard was clearly annoyed and made physical contact with Biedrins.

Beedrins immediately came up, and the referee immediately blew the whistle to calm both sides when he saw that the situation was not good.

Howard smiled wryly, shook his head, stepped to the free throw line, and hit one of two free throws.

It was his first point of the game, so it was so difficult.

Defensively, with his experience and skill, he can still keep the team in a no-fly zone.

But on the offensive end, why can't this goal be scored?

Howard is a player whose play is more affected by emotions.

If you play well and have fun, you will play better and better.

If you don't play well, especially if you have something wrong, you will drill the horns.

Today, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, and I can't score under the basket?

The Warriors began to stabilize their position and slowly chase the points, and the two bench bandits Landry and Jack took turns to attack the Lakers' interior.

caused fouls by Li Liang and Morris and went to the free throw line to chase points.

The referee seems to sense that the two sides are making more and more physical contact, and consciously control the whistle and let the players pay attention to control.

Of course, Li Liang has to reason with the referee again, and today he got to know three new referees, Nick Benkert, David Jones, and Bennett Salvador.

There are still more than 70 games in the future, and Li Liang is ready to get acquainted with them one by one, and reason with them more, maybe they will be more reasonable in the future.

The Warriors are chasing points, and Howard on the Lakers' side still wants to play under the basket.

But Bryant stopped giving Howard the ball.

He is the one who controls and dominates the ball on the pitch.

Finally taking the lead in the first quarter, he had to keep his team in the ascendancy.

At the end of the first quarter, Howard scored one point, and the Lakers led the Warriors into the second quarter 25-21.

Both Howard and Kobe Bryant sat on the bench at the start of the second quarter, one on the far left and one on the far right.

Anyway, Howard doesn't like to listen to jokes Kobe Bryant, and Kobe doesn't like to listen to tactical Howard, so stay away.

The Lakers came off the bench, Gasol and Ci Shiping came off the bench with substitutes, and Li Liang still couldn't get off the court.

Ci Shiping is very happy to take the substitute now.

This summer, he lost weight, his body was significantly thinner, and he shaved his beard clean, making him look much younger.

It's a pity that people look younger, and the form is not back to when they were young, especially defensively.

The traverse movement has become slower, and the bounce is basically absent, because the weight loss has also led to a decline in strength and confrontation ability.

It's okay to occasionally break out and increase the intensity to defend, but it's impossible to have a whole high level like before.

Now, he's leaving the dirty, tiring work of defense to Bruce Lee.

He brought his own substitutes, and when Kobe Bryant was not there, it was up to him to dominate the ball.

This guy is called a happy, if you want to pass it, if you want to pass it, if you want to sudden, if you want to vote, you can vote.

Who made him old and played horizontally, Nashkobe was not on the court, and he was not the boss on the outside.

Gasol was present and obeyed his commands.

The Lakers played very well like this, not because of how smooth the offense was, but because the Warriors were too iron!

The Warriors, like the Trail Blazers, are a team that relies heavily on pick-and-rolls and jump shots.

However, instead of Flow, the Warriors used a two-man screen tactic designed by Mark Jackson for their outside shooter - the elevator door.

At the heart of this strategy is that players in the No. 4 and No. 5 positions use a double screen similar to an elevator to close the door to create space for Curry or Thompson to shoot.

So, their big man doesn't need to have the ability to shoot in the high post like the Trail Blazers, but he needs to have good covering ability.

Their No. 4 and No. 5 positions are like a moving Great Wall on the court, constantly creating space for their own outside shots.

As for their perimeter players, it is necessary to have strong catch-and-shoot ability and agile off-ball movement.

But tonight, the Warriors' outside shooting, whether it is three-point or mid-range, is a little out of order.

When a team that uses jump shots as their main offensive means can't score, it doesn't matter what tactics you use.

Li Liang watched the Warriors constantly run and walk tactics on the court, and felt that this was a well-trained team.

It's that feeling in the summer league, in the preseason.

This is different from the warrior he remembered in the past.

In the early years of school, the Warriors were also an offensive team.

However, it gives the impression that it only attacks and does not defend, and the offense is mainly an open attack, and there is not much coordination in positional warfare.

The Warriors have obviously changed a lot since Mark Jackson took over, the defense is much better, and the offense is playing with agility.

But I just can't make it!

Li Liang not only defended with all his might, but also used his brain to think about how to deal with this dexterous style of play.

In the past, Li Liang's key to defense was to give priority to attitude, on the body, on the confrontation, but he felt that he could not always rely on confrontation, but also use his brain.

Especially in the face of sophisticated collective offensive tactics, it is useless to just fight alone, and you have to be walked by the dog.

Halfway through the second quarter, Li Liang went off to rest.

He didn't get any shots today, he didn't score.

The system didn't send him a task, so it stands to reason that there was a Barnes on the other side.

Probably because he played in the summer league, the system bypassed him.

Li Liang wiped his sweat off the court while chatting with defensive coach Chuck Payson about defense.

Payson was also a player back then, from the Pacers, and was known as a trash talker.

But his most famous deed was not swearing, but sitting on the sidelines on Christmas Day when he was sprayed by Larry Bird "Merry fucking Christmas." ”

It was because he told Bird before the game to "shoot the bird" that he was scolded by Bird, who shot three points.

However, he is very old-fashioned, and he is serious and good at adjusting his defense.

He has a very good relationship with Ci Shiping, from the Pacers, to the Kings, to the Lakers, the two have always cooperated.

On the other hand, he also has a good sense of Li Liang, likes Li Liang very much, and often exchanges defensive experience with Li Liang.

Regarding the problem of the Warriors' offensive tactics mentioned by Li Liang, Payson thought about it seriously and put forward several points, such as pinching the ball holder, such as enhancing rotation, and forcing the starting hand to fail with the online press.

Li Liang was discussing this issue with Payson, and the Lakers were defending the Warriors to death on the court.

In the case that the Warriors couldn't shoot from the outside, Mike Brown decisively increased the rotation lineup, requiring the team to fight and shrink the defensive line.

Any shooting team needs space, and if you can't pull the space, the shooting will not be accurate, not allowed, and you can't pull the space, and you will fall into a vicious circle.

The Warriors were caught in that cycle and were seized by the experienced Lakers.

They will bite the score in the first half, and in the second half, the Warriors are in a quagmire.

The outside couldn't get the ball into that damn basket, and the Lakers' offense wasn't much better.

The confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense, and players often fell to the ground, and Gasol was pushed to the ground more than once.

At this time, the Laker Kobe Bryant stepped up, and with a high-intensity confrontation, Kobe Bryant would show his superstar demeanor.

No one can throw in, Lao Tzu can just throw in, no matter how strong it is, the feel is coming, and the difficulty is correct.

In the third quarter, Bryant hit two deadly three-pointers to stretch the gap to more than 10 points.

This was the turning point of the game, and after that, the Warriors were never able to organize an effective offense, they couldn't score any shots, and they couldn't shoot three-pointers.

The Lakers' offensive efficiency is also not high, but they grind little by little, slowly grinding the difference from 10 points to 20 points!

This is the most terrible, the blunt knife cuts the meat, cutting and cutting, not only the meat is cut, but the time is also consumed!

By the fourth quarter, the Warriors had given up on resistance altogether, and they had 80 points at the end of the game.

The Lakers started the season with a six-game winning streak, winning a game at home that wasn't flashy and wasn't a Lakers' victory.

Li Liang's performance in this game is very average, because there is no need for Uncle Ben to make a move, and the system does not send tasks, so naturally there is no motivation.

Kobe Bryant scored 26 points in the game, shooting 55 percent from the field, and shot 2 of 3 from three-point range, which was not Kobe Bryant at all.

Howard, on the other hand, scored only six points, made 2 of 6 shots, and made 2 of 4 free throws, and after the first quarter, he basically didn't get any shots.

So even if he wins the game, the smile on his face is not so bright, just a light smile.

The Warriors are collectively dumb, shooting only 32% from the field, which is low, which would be strange if they could win.

At the end of the game, players from both sides shook hands and hugged each other, making it a perfect match for the Los Angeles crowd.

When Li Liang was about to leave the court, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry came over to shake Li Liang's hand and said hello.

Curry didn't play in the summer league and Curry didn't play in the preseason due to injury, and this skinny-looking, cute-looking player has a lot of injuries, making people wonder if he can survive in the fierce NBA.

Li Liang had heard of Curry before, Davidson College, a guard with accurate shooting and amazing scoring explosiveness.

It was the first time we met on the court, Li Liang thought, hey, I'm a little famous, and the players on the other side have taken the initiative to say hello to me.

In return, Li Liang decided to take out the ball blind tester and test Curry's IQ.

The ball blind examiner worked for a while and came to a conclusion:

[Ball Blindness Index: Unknown, a fool, but he can play basketball and has unlimited potential. 】
