The second half continued.

As a warm-up game, it is generally about looking at new players, especially those who are on the fringes of the squad, and deciding whether to sign or cut.

At present, there are 18 players on the Kings roster, and only 15 can be retained in the end, and three of them will not be able to participate in the team's new season.

But Li Liang still gave the main team more time on the field to run in.

As a player-coach, one of the good things about communicating with players is that communication with players is very fast and easy.

Li Liang is not only the formulator of tactics, but also the executor of tactics, and there is a lack of communication in the middle, so the adjustment is very fast.

In the second half, Li Liang tried to hold the ball on the outside, using his strong single-eating ability outside the three-point line to open up space for his teammates and make the offense work better.

This is D'Antoni's thinking, which is very similar to the Chinese team's thinking at the Olympics.

Fully squeezing and exploiting Li Liang's versatility and threat on the offensive end to maximize his efficiency and output.

This style of play is really simple and effective, so in the third quarter, the Kings' offense improved.

Li Liang hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, and then used the pass to connect with Cousins on the inside.

Cousins slowly came alive at this point, and he also began to pass the ball and assist Gordon and Guy on the outside.

The Kings still have the ability of these players, and after entering the good times, the overall state is much better.

But the king's defense still can't be watched, especially when Li Liang puts a lot of energy into the offense, and his investment on the defensive end is much smaller.

The Warriors' smooth coordination and pass-and-cut tactics are playing a team like the Kings who are not tight defensively and have no tacit understanding.

The margin remained above 10 points, and the Kings were completely toyed with by the Warriors.

Facing Li Liang, James finally had a sense of superiority to suppress his opponent!

Brother basketball is still good, the Avengers are really strong!

In the fourth quarter, Li Liang still replaced the main players and sent the garbage players at the end of the bench to play the remaining garbage time to inspect these marginal people.

In the end, the Kings lost to the Golden State Warriors in San Jose, 101:117, a huge 16-point margin.

After the game, Li Liang, as the head coach, had to shake hands and hug Steve Cole.

"Come on, good job tonight, Bruce." Cole encouraged Li Liang.

Then, as a player, I have to hug and greet Curry.

"Your coach is rotten, rotten." Curry, of course, will not let go of the opportunity to mock Li Liang.

Curry played the game with ease.

With James here, Curry can give full play to his off-ball ability and no longer have to bear huge pressure on the ball.

Playing the Thunder last season, the Thunder put a lot of pressure on Curry, and there are at least two elders surrounding him almost all the time.

On the Kings' side, one Rondo alone is not enough to contain Curry.

Without a strong No. 3 forward, Curry would simply be a dragon swimming in the sea, wandering in the vast space between the three-second zone and the three-point line, looking for a lethal opportunity.

Curry only played 20 minutes tonight, shooting 3-of-5 from three-point range and scoring 16 points with ease.

After Curry finished speaking, it was James' turn, and James also came to the ground.

This summer, James also made this decision after a huge psychological battle.

Fortunately, there is a lesson from Li Liang, the so-called predecessors planted trees and later people enjoyed the shade, and drank water and did not forget to dig wells.

James himself is also a tree planter of brother basketball and GPS powerhouse autopilot basketball, and then was carried forward by Li Liang as a nomadic basketball, and even forced the league to introduce a "Bruce-Lee" clause.

The public opinion environment across the league has become much more relaxed, and fans are no longer shouting loyalty.

On the contrary, after James joined the Warriors, he received a lot of support from fans.

After all, Li Liang, the former dragon slaying boy, has become the biggest evil dragon.

People still want to see how the former chosen son, the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, how to get back what he lost.

"Good luck, it's not easy to sit in the coach's seat. I'm wondering, if you quit now, will you still get paid? ”

James didn't let go of Li Liang either, and in return, Li Liang touched James's head with [Tim Duncan's Head Touch].

It is said that James just had a hair transplant last summer, so he removed the headband on his forehead.

Li Liang's touch is estimated to be replanted again next year.

lost the game, was ridiculed by the Warriors' players, and followed Li Liang as the head coach to be interviewed by reporters.

In the past, when a player lost, Li Liang would go into the shower room to take a shower and hide to calm himself down.

Now the part-time head coach has to be interviewed by reporters, and if he always refuses, he will be fined by the league.

"There are two big problems we are facing at the moment, which are offensive problems and defensive problems." As soon as Li Liang opened his mouth, it was the same as if he didn't say anything, nonsense on the basketball court, isn't there both offense and defense, but it also shows that Li Liang is quite helpless.

"We still need to adjust our offense, but I think my defensive problems are a bit bigger and we're looking for better defensive strategies."

Li Liang said as he scolded Mike Brown in his heart.

This is bragging, and I will leave it to me to say what kind of defense I say, but I still haven't decided what kind of defensive strategy the team should use.

In fact, Mike Brown doesn't want to settle down, but he wants to give the Kings the best strategy, but the reality is that the lineup in front of the Kings has little defensive potential.

Without a good rim guard, the defensive depth of the forward line is not enough.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and for Mike Brown, building a championship-level defense for the Kings is really a big problem.

After playing two preseason games, a lot of problems were exposed.

After the game, the whole team returned to Sacramento to make adjustments.

In the past, Li Liang went home to sleep and did tasks in the system.

Not now, he gave the players a vacation, but he had to stay in the stadium with the assistant coaches, watch the video, hold tactical meetings, and hold tactical meetings for hours in a row, through tactical deduction, and constantly improve the tactical details.

D'Antoni gave some constructive advice based on the attacking momentum of the previous two games.

He believes that the Kings will definitely still have to go the offensive route, but maybe not so fast.

First of all, it is difficult for Cousins to keep up with the rapid pace of offense.

Secondly, Guy, Gordon, and Rondo are not fast assault players either.

Therefore, D'Antoni proposed an offensive strategy of "slow progress, fast ball handling".

That said, it doesn't matter if you push a little slower, but you can't drag the ball when you get into the half, but you have to deal with the ball quickly in a short period of time.

"It's better to throw the ball out in eight seconds, otherwise the efficiency will drop significantly."

This is D'Antoni's theory of 8 seconds, which has already deducted the time of the half.

Li Liang believes that D'Antoni's strategic thinking is correct.

Now, it's just a matter of refining the tactical details.

As for the defense...... After two days of meetings, Mike Brown didn't give anything.

All kinds of ideas have been tried, but they have been rejected by Li Liang.

"Otherwise, we're going to stick to the simplest man-to-man defense, just like we did with the Pacers."

Mike Brown saw that all kinds of ideas were not approved, so he had to introduce the simplest and most secure man-to-man defense.

Li Liang thought about it, the king's configuration, imitating the Pacers' man-marking strategy, is not impossible.

But in the end he said to Brown, "Mike, I think there's a better solution, and I believe in you." ”

Brown was really speechless and asked Cangtian, how is this assistant coach more difficult to be than the head coach!

Bruce, I really didn't teach you to be a coach!
