Chapter Seventy-One: Seems Pretty Bad

At the end of the half, Li Liang returned to the locker room with his teammates.

Li Liang performed well in the first half, scoring 14 points and grabbing five rebounds.

But the task on the defensive end has not progressed, and there has been no one of the three steals so far.

It stands to reason that Li Liang's defense is already good, but unfortunately his outside defense ability is not very useful in this era.

In the 1960s, players had very few outside ball-handling breakthroughs and long-range shots.

What offensive fouls don't exist even more, and nine times out of ten they are blown to block.

The outside offense is simple, with few physical confrontations, a lot of passing, and the interior offense is the majority.

Li Liang's one-on-one strong defense can't play a big role, and the opponent won't attack you at all.

The defender is still passive, and if the opponent doesn't hit you, you can't take the initiative to hit him, right?

Comparatively speaking, interior defense, assistance defense, and rebounding are more important.

The Celtics have a Russell and a pillar of optimus on the inside, plus Heinsoane and Sanders.

Neither Jones nor Cousy on the perimeter need to defend very well and dominate the offense.

With such a reasonable and trend-in-line configuration, it is no wonder that Kaizi has 11 championships in 13 years, and he can't wear it with both hands.

Back in the locker room, Li Liang pondered the question of how to play in the second half.

Tom Heinsohn was addicted to cigarettes and began to smoke in the bathroom of the locker room.

This big smoking gun was retired when he was thirty years old, and his body was broken by smoking.

Li Liang was bored and thought about it alone, and Auerbach stepped forward and said, "Boy, what are you thinking about frowning, the performance in the first half was good." ”

Li Liang said: "It's okay, it's just that the feel is okay, but my defense against Robertson is not very good." ”

Auerbach said: "It's normal to be poorly guarded, who can easily guard against Robertson?" ”

Li Liang said: "But, isn't there any good way to deal with him?" ”

Li Liang wanted to learn a little from Auerbach.

If there are many ghost ideas, in the entire history of the NBA, Auerbach called the first, and no one dared to call it the second.

This cunning Jew has as many crooked ideas as he has in his suit.

Auerbach didn't give Li Liang a bad move, but patiently said: "Robertson is the best point guard in the league, and his threat comes from his vision and passing, not just offense. You have to be careful to cut off the connection between him and his teammates. You don't have to deal with him one-on-one, you know? ”

Li Liang listened to it and pondered it seriously in his heart.

He flipped out the mission prompt and read it again, and the mission demanded: take Havlicek's position, limit Oscar Robertson with your defense, and make at least three steals against him.

Yes, the mission doesn't say that you have to be in the opposite position with Robertson.

As long as he steals three balls, it doesn't say that he has to face to face.

One more point, the name of the mission is "Play like Havlicek".

Havlicek is known for his all-round ability and iron man (both striking iron and being physically iron).

As a white player, he's not the kind of opponent defensive biter who is good at stalking.

It's a pitch elf who can be in the right place at the right time.

Thinking of this, Li Liang has a deeper understanding of this task.

"OK, I see! I'll do it. ”

At the start of the second half, Auerbach decided to start Li Liang and directly replace Heinsohn.

Heinsohn smoked at halftime and was coughing before he came on the court.

Li Liang made his debut and decided not to misplace to deal with Robertson, but instead targeted Jack Tweyman.

Tweyman is a veteran of the Royals and a star scorer.

He is best known for taking care of his teammate Stokes, who was paralyzed by a crash, until his death.

Tweyman had a very good first half, shooting 7-of-9 from the field and shooting a high percentage from the field.

Li Liang focused his defensive attention on Tweyman.

He began to use the Dafa of sticking defense, and followed Tweyman closely whenever and wherever he wanted.

At the same time, Li Liang did not relax his attention to Robertson, keeping an eye on his passing line and judging his passing intentions.

The NBA tactics in 62 are relatively simple, and Li Liang has already touched the basic routines of the Royals.

Robertson cuts down the middle and then splits the ball to the sides, or cuts in from the bottom and passes back to the middle.

These two tricks are used the most, and the effect is also very good.

Li Liang waited for an opportunity, and when he saw Robertson walking in the middle, he stared at Tweyman on the flank.

Robertson walked from the bottom, and Li Liang looked towards the middle.

Break the ball!

Robertson's pass to Tweyman was cut off by Li Liang!

Li Liang passed the ball to Cousy and launched a quick counterattack!

Li Liang rushed to the frontcourt, received a pass from Coussy, and dunked with one hand!

He Li Liang can also dunk quickly!

The steel-beam basketball hoop at the Boston Garden Arena was buzzing with Li Liang.

I don't know if Auerbach did anything to the basket.

The fans in Boston were very crazy, and the old lady watching the game waved a handkerchief at Li Liang.

It's not over yet, and the Celtics, led by Li Liang, are getting tighter and tighter in defense.

Robertson was caught by Cousy and Jones on the outside and rushed out of the ball.

Li Liang kept staring at it, jumped up directly, and intercepted the ball in mid-air!

It was another opportunity to attack quickly, and this time Li Liang didn't go on his own.

He dribbled to the three-second zone and saw Russell follow up with a behind-the-ground pass.

Russell took the ball and jumped high.

This guy's bouncing is simply horrible.

Smash the ball into the hoop with both hands!

After the goal, Russell raised his left arm and pointed it at Li Liang.

The atmosphere at Boston Garden Arena has reached a small climax.

The Celtics successfully counterattacked with continuous defense and overtook the score.

The Royals called a timeout, but couldn't stop the decline.

Li Liang ignited the passion of Boston Garden.

In this game in history, Celtic played a dull game.

They didn't shoot well in the first half, were overwhelmed by the Royals in the third quarter, and never turned over.

In that game, rookie Havlicek had already played well and still couldn't let the team win.

Li Liang is going to do better tonight.

His own emotions were ignited.

The noise of the Boston garden fueled his adrenaline.

At this time, Robertson, who was continuously cut off the ball, turned on the singles mode.

Dribble the bulldozer to about 10 feet.

Then turned, a one-armed master shot, and at this distance he shot accurately.

A strong body, accurate shooting, and excellent passing made the Celtics dare not easily wrap up.

Robertson's continuous attacks helped the Royals stabilize the situation.

The third quarter was a tight game, with the Celtics having a slight advantage.

The game entered the final quarter, and the two sides played extremely fiercely, and the scores were staggered.

In the final period, it was 128:128, and the two sides were tied, and the Celtics had the ball.

Jones missed a jumper, but Russell struggled to get the rebound.

Saunders gets the ball, passes it back and reorganizes the attack.

Coussi didn't touch the ball and immediately passed it to Li Liang, who was standing 27 feet from the basket.

This is a very far position, but Li Liang is confident, and he will shoot directly with the ball in this position!

Auerbach almost rushed up to give Li Liang a kick, but he held back, he knew that Li Liang's long-range shot was accurate.

"Huh!"

The ball went in!

Li Liang scored the 20th point of the game and regained the score.

Boston Garden Square was boiling, and the sound felt like it was about to tear the roof upside down.

The Royals immediately called a timeout.

As soon as the timeout is over, serve on the sidelines, and make a crucial attack.

Li Liang wants to face Oscar Robertson one-on-one!

Li Liang patted the parquet floor of the Garden Arena hard, and put on a defensive posture to face Robertson.

Robertson has always been reticent, both on and off the pitch.

At this time, he was angered by Li Liang, and the knights on the court duel.

[Rage +20 from Oscar Robertson.] 】

Robertson used his strong body to squeeze Li Liang.

Li Liang is testing the scale of the referee.

He pushed, pushed, and put his hand on Robertson's waist to do a handcheck.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and it seemed that he didn't want to ruin the duel between the two.

Embury came up to cover, Robertson walked towards Embry, and then suddenly turned his back!

Robertson was not fast, but this turned around and used Embry's cover to shake off Li Liang's position.

Robertson went inside and went straight to the left for a layup!

At this point, Bill Russell came in from the other side.

It's a relentless block machine that takes Robertson's layup down!

But Robertson relied on his strong body to regain control of the ball.

When he wanted to be stronger again, Li Liang had already caught up and stretched out his hand.

He slapped the ball off Robertson's hand!

The third break was successful!

At the last moment of the fourth quarter, Li Liang successfully completed the steal task!

After the break, he held the ball tightly in his arms.

Oscar Robertson could only foul and send Li Liang to the free throw line.

The Boston Garden Arena was cheering, and Li Liang walked to the free throw line amid cheers.

Robertson's face was full of frustration, and how could Li Liang miss such an opportunity.

He hit both free throws, and in the era of no three-point shots, four points declared the opponent a complete loss.

The whistle blew at the end of the game, and at 128:132, the Celtics won the battle!

The fans finally burst out with all their enthusiasm in the form of sound.

The special ceiling design of the Boston Garden Arena can amplify the noise of the site many times.

In the cheers, Li Liang had forgotten his task and completely devoted himself to the atmosphere of the scene.

For him, who is about to become a Los Angeles Lakers player, he actually thinks that it feels really good to play in Boston.

Russell, Coussy, Heinsohn and others stepped forward to hug Li Liang, Auerbach lit his victory cigar, and the fans enjoyed a happy victory night.

Everything is so real, so exciting.

And when Li Liang woke up, he found that he was still on his way to Los Angeles.
