Chapter Fifty-Six: Guiding the Modern Center
Noel jumped into the air in a daze, then flicked the ball out, and the freshman and sophomore team won the ball.
Li Liang ran back into the three-second zone of the backcourt and began his center defensive mission.
Noel felt a little insulted by his intelligence.
Who is this guy who doesn't jump with himself?
Make yourself like a fool and jump the ball with the air.
Noel cut straight inside and took a position on the left rib.
Then he spread his arms and asked for the ball at the point guard.
Li Liang stood behind Noel, put his hand on his waist, and found that this kid actually couldn't be low.
The low back is a deceptively simple technique, but it is actually quite difficult to practice.
Today's big men have been trained as defenders since the early years, and few have practiced center skills from the beginning.
A tall and thin physically gifted man like Noel doesn't need any low-level skills in middle school.
As soon as the ball is thrown into the sky, he jumps again, and he can send the ball to the basket, and he wants to get stuck in the low post and catch the ball with his back.
Similarly, Tyson Chandler, whose height, long arms, and bounce were a bug in high school.
The inside line doesn't need any technology to be able to do whatever it wants.
But in the NBA, it became an interior gate that could only focus on defense.
On the offensive end, you can only pick up the cake and eat the cake, and don't think about attacking independently.
At this time, Noel was almost the same as Chandler, and his size advantage was not as big as Chandler's.
Goodwin on the outside saw Noel asking for the ball, after all, this guy was the first high school student in 2012, and Goodwin still hoisted the ball to Noel.
But the speed of this ball is not fast, and it is soft, how could Li Liang let him catch the ball.
Li Liang took a step forward directly, reached out and removed the ball, and Hood was quick to control the ball.
The first attack of the freshman and sophomore team, failed.
Ball conversion, the offensive rounds of the big three and four teams.
Metz possessed the ball past half-time and was clearly much more steady than Goodwin and began to direct his teammates to run.
Noel followed Li Liang closely, and it seemed that he wanted to find some place to come back from Li Liang.
According to the trend of this year's ball review, Noel is better than Anthony Davis in terms of power and explosiveness.
If Anthony Davis can be the top pick, Noel is also the favorite to win the top pick next year.
As for Li Liang?
At noon, Noel and the senior inquired about Li Liang, and it turned out that he was the penultimate person in the team.
He came here to be a sparring partner, and Noel looked down on him a little bit.
Unexpectedly, Li Liang didn't jump in the opening game, which made Noel look stupid.
Noel asked for the ball, but was cut off by Li Liang, and Noel seemed very stupid.
In high school, Noel was the pride of the court and was the pride of the court.
He came to the University of Kentucky with the title of "Davis Successor" with the goal of helping the University of Kentucky defend its title.
This Bruce Lee is at the bottom of the bench and has graduated, and Noel feels like he can beat him.
Later, on the defensive end, give him a few hot pot tastes.
If Li Liang enters the inside line and confronts Noel, he will definitely be suspicious of his life.
But Li Liang is just a cameo center, do you understand the cameo? Don't get too deep into the play.
After halftime, Li Liang went to a stop outside the three-point line and didn't go in at all.
Noel is in a conflict, should he go in and guard the basket?
When he went in, Li Liang was emptied, and if he didn't go in, the basket was empty.
Noel's supplementary defense and assistance have not yet been developed, and this rough young man still needs to polish how to carry out a large-scale sweeping defense and how to return to the correct position in time.
At the moment of Noel's hesitation, Mays had already held the ball and hit the inside, and there was nothing to stop him from making a layup.
2:0, the big three and four teams scored first.
"You're the center, you're going to go inside, you're going to be inside! What are you guarding against? ”
Li Liang did not forget to "remind" Noel and let him go to the inside line.
Noel glared at Li Liang and did not reply.
[Rage +15 from Nolens-Noel.] 】
Noel, this kid, has a bad temper and gives Li Liang anger points.
Li Liang shook his head, thinking, don't be angry on the court, this is just the beginning.
Noel had a bad first offense and this time Goodwin stopped passing the ball to him.
He directly uses the outside line to use the block to dismantle the defender, and then kills the inside line!
The inner line is guarded by Li Liang, which is equivalent to non-existence in Goodwin's opinion.
Unexpectedly, Li Liang suddenly appeared on Goodwin's route, and the two collided solidly.
Li Liang fell down in response and sat on the ground.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and made a gesture to hit the man with the ball, signaling that Goodwin had committed a foul.
Goodwin spread his hands helplessly, but he didn't have anything to say.
Li Liang reacted very quickly to the ball, stood firmly, and made fouls very beautifully.
Calipari on the sidelines were stunned, with two balls in a row, one stealing and one fouling.
There's something about this kid Bruce Lee, why didn't you see it in the past?
It seems that he has really evolved.
Hood stepped forward and pulled Li Liang up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Good job Bruce, you are really different from before." ”
Li Liang smiled and continued to participate in the team's attack.
On the offensive end, he stood one step outside the three-point line, and at the top of the arc, he had to take two steps outside.
This is the position of the NBA's three-point line, and this distance is simply crazy for Noel.
Is it possible to enter the three-second zone?
After a moment's hesitation, Noel walked towards the three-second zone.
Seeing this, Mace threw the ball to Li Liang, who held the ball outside the top of the arc.
There is no one within a radius of three meters.
Noel stood near the free throw line and looked at Li Liang, feeling that Li Liang should not attack in this position.
If Li Liang took two steps forward, he pounced again.
How do you know that Li Liang is not going forward at all, you Noel will not come up, right?
Okay, then I'll vote.
Li Liang slapped the ball and adjusted his pace slightly, and shot in the posture he was most familiar with according to Calipari's guidance.
A three-point shot from the front!
The ball passes through the heart, 5:0!
The juniors and sophomores played a 5:0 in the opening game.
After scoring the goal, Li Liang pointed at Noel and said: "Modern center, you have to defend it, defend it!" What's the use of squatting inside? ”
Nima, Noel is about to explode!
Last round, you let me go inside, and this round you want me to defend yourself and play me!
That's right, Li Liang is playing Noel.
If a player can't position himself accurately on the pitch, he will inevitably be tricked.
If Li Liang doesn't hold the ball to attack with his own strength, or rush to the inside, he will be the one who will be played.
What's more, in a high-level basketball court, who can not be tricked?
Duncan is so awesome, and he is not a background emperor.
Paul is so awesome, it's not like that... The magic number.
When you come out to play, you always have to pay it back.
Noel looked a little impatient, and he was desperate to return Li Liang on the offensive end.
It's best to slap him on the head and look down on him.
So as soon as he entered the three-point line, Noel raised his arm high, for fear that the outside players would not see him.
Goodwin, who was in possession of the ball, still gave Noel the ball a pass, and this time he hoisted the ball high.
Noel leaps high and takes the ball down in the air, but the ball is too high for him to relay in the air.
took the ball and landed, Noel turned around directly, and got up to dunk!
"Smack!"
At the moment when he was about to get up, Li Liang slapped the ball out of Noel's hand!
A beautiful cut, Li Liang took the ball into his arms and passed it to Mace.
Mays took the ball and pushed the fast break directly, and Hood took the lead, took the ball and went straight to the basket, scoring another 2 points, 7:0.
Li Liang successfully defended three times in a row and hit a three-pointer, and his outstanding performance was surprising.
Now Calipari understands why the Lakers promised to take him with the 60th pick.
The 60th pick, Li Liang's defensive performance is really a bit of a loss.
Calipari didn't understand, how could this Li Liang evolve so quickly in such a short time?
As for Noel, this stunned young man has obviously not found the right way to play, and is still using the same set as in high school.
He just received the ball, landed, turned around, and when he was strong, he didn't have any sense of protection at all, and it was strange not to be cut off.
Calipari sighed, it seems that there is a long way to go to adjust this year's Wildcats.
