Chapter 700: Hard-hitting
James began to defend Li Liang.
When it comes to defensive ability, although James will be criticized for his lack of basic skills, when he defends seriously, he is definitely the top in the league.
It's just that on James' team, he has always taken on too many tasks on the offensive end, so much so that he often deserts on defense.
Don't say anything about avoiding the opponent's arrow characters, occasionally leaking people, and not assisting in defense in a timely manner, they will all appear.
There is no way, after all, at a certain age, if he consumes too much in defense, he will not have enough physical strength on the offensive end.
In a basketball game with a high degree of integration of offense and defense, this is a problem that every star has to face.
And star players will choose to attack as the center, after all, basketball is a game of scoring.
When it comes to the really critical game, many stars who usually feel like they are on defense break out, and their defensive ability is still very strong.
And if you grasp offense and defense like Jordan and Kobe, it must be amazingly strong in physical strength and competitiveness.
With the energy runes assembled, Li Liang can barely take care of both offense and defense, but the offensive end will still be affected.
James saw that Li Liang was about to soar, and knew that he had to press it, otherwise it would be terrible for this thing to really feel good.
James has suffered losses and overceeded Li Liang.
So the two began a head-on conversation.
The Pacers have always used Li Liang against James on the defensive end, anyway, the Pacers resolutely do not wrap up and do not assist in defense, which means that James will be handed over to you, and we will not care.
After Li Liang hit a three-pointer, James pulled away one-on-one and forced Li Liang in the offense.
Li Liang felt that James's speed had risen, and if he couldn't block it, he wouldn't block it, otherwise it wouldn't be worth paying for a foul.
So, put James into the three-second zone and win a violent dunk with one hand!
Another dunk, James obviously hopes to overpower Li Liang in momentum.
Switching offense and defense, when Li Liang held the ball, he found that the defender in front of him had changed from George to James.
"Dead ghost, you're here."
Li Liang said straightly, this James only remembered to be one-on-one with himself at this time, what did he do earlier?
Let George defend in front, I can't prevent you from coming, do you think you can prevent it?
Not to mention, James really defended Li Liang one-on-one, and Li Liang really didn't have to be sure to eat strongly.
Kobe Bryant can eat James strongly, with superb skill.
Li Liang doesn't have as strong skills as Kobe, he usually uses his brain.
Tough with James, to be honest, Li Liang is not completely sure yet.
Li Liang faced George, he could use his power to charge, and then score with a unique, special-paced pull-up jump shot.
In the face of James, Li Liang really couldn't rush, this thing was still too strong.
When he should rush, when he shouldn't, Li Liang naturally has other ways to score.
In the face of James's defense, Li Liang chose to dodge, and did not force the fighting spirit and James to be tough.
He gave the ball to Stephenson, who hit Dellavedova one-on-one and hit a mid-range jumper.
"You don't dare to attack me, you don't dare?"
James saw that Stephenson had scored, and sneered at Li Liang.
Li Liang shook his head, "Basketball is not mine alone, I play brother basketball." ”
It's good to refute, it's worthy of being a college student, and the cultural level is just different from that of high school students.
James didn't respond, and on the offensive end, he also took the initiative to pass the ball to George, hoping that George could share the offensive pressure.
Unexpectedly, the Pacers suddenly forced George to double the bag.
Sloan and Stephenson suddenly stepped up, pushing George into the corner of the halfway line.
George couldn't get the ball out in time and could only jump up a long pass with a wide angle, but Dellavedova on the left flank couldn't get the ball on the left wing and made a mistake out of bounds.
Mr. Zhang Weiping, a famous basketball critic, once said that it is easy to make mistakes when jumping and passing!
George was not cautious enough to play the ball too late.
After the error, Blatter replaced Irving back on the field.
He felt that the outside line still needed a stable point of possession to share the pressure on James.
And what about Li Liang?
In fact, the Pacers have the ability to digest the ball at every point, so at this time, in the face of James' defense, Li Liang can pick up his old job - stealing chickens and dogs.
It can be said that this specialty belongs to James's blind spot.
James has played the core position since he entered the league, and has been an attacker with the ball all his life, whether on the outside or in the low post, he is the core axis.
After fighting the main force all his life, you let him be a partial teacher?
It can't be, and he won't.
Li Liang is different, he started from a partial teacher, and he used to be a little prince.
On the Pacers' side, Hill, JR and Granger were also on the board, while Garnett, Sloan and Finson were on the break.
As soon as he came on the court, Hill attacked Owen directly with the ball.
Owen was passed by one step again...... But on the inside, Mozgov defended well and blocked Hill's offensive line.
Hill gave the ball to the high post before the layup was about to be blocked, and McGee received the ball and immediately distributed the ball to JR in the bottom corner, and JR rushed to the basket with the ball.
The Cavaliers blocked the basket very badly, and it was full of people.
At this time, Li Liang showed his elusive running ability.
This thing was supposed to crouch in the bottom corner, opening up the space for others to hold the ball and play.
As a result, seeing that JR plunged headlong into the three-second zone, he quietly circled from the bottom corner, from the bottom line, around the sidelines, and around the JR.
To be honest, this kind of running is not correct, what about the JR bottom line, what are you doing bypassing it? You're going to help defend it?
By the way, bring James over to help you defend, right?
But Li Liang's timing of this circumambulation is more quintessential, just as JR has already shot, and he has a rather difficult throw, George rushes up to infect and misses.
Then, Li Liang appeared right under the basket, jumped, and with a slight click, the ball was put into the basket......
Mozgov was still holding his head up and ready to grab the rebound, and James was just blocked by Mozgov.
As a result, Li Liang stole two points and added one to his rebounding stats by the way.
James was still communicating with Mozgov under the basket, and Li Liang had already run back to the half-court defense.
Then, James covered Irving on the offensive end.
In response to Irving James' pick-and-roll, the Pacers adopted a strategy of not switching defenses.
In the last round of the series, the Eagles defended James as a small man who switched defenses, and then waited for an opportunity to pinch on the inside.
It worked well at first, but when James' pass found its senses, the move was pierced by the Cavaliers' inside cut.
The Pacers learned their lesson, anyway, I have Li Liang, and James will be handed over to you, no matter what.
But the disadvantage of not changing the defense is that when you are looking for someone, you will definitely leak a gap, so Irving burst into the basket and scored two points on a throw.
Immediately, the Pacers made another mistake on the offensive end.
James made a super long pass to the frontcourt, George received the ball and passed it to Mozgov, who was following him, and Mozgov made a layup.
Although Li Liang can steal chickens, without his ball, the Pacers' offense is indeed a little unstable.
Stealing chickens is not a long-term solution after all.
I used to steal a lot, and that was with Kobe Bryant's assistant, but now there are not so many opportunities for you to steal.
Li Liang thought about it, and he still had to go head-to-head with James.
At 40:36, the margin narrowed to 4 points.
The walker called a timeout, and Li Liang put on the [Iron Body], and then silently took out the [God's Left Hand].
Aren't you able to defend against it? I'm going to see if you can defend yourself if I become a left-handed general.
