The technique of layup is simple to say.

For a basketball layman like Hanamichi Sakuragi, the first offensive technique he learned after he started playing basketball was the layup.

This is the most rustic, rudimentary offensive technique in basketball, and basically the vast majority of beginners learn to make layups at the beginning.

It's just that in a game like the NBA, it's not so easy to get an easy layup.

Because the basket is the most contested area, most NBA players have a very low success rate in the positional offense, except for relying on tactics to run out of the open space.

Li Liang has relied on shooting for a long time to eat, let alone break through, even if he is fast-breaking, he will most likely choose to make a stop-and-go jump shot.

In his opinion, his jump shot was more stable than a layup.

In the early days of the NCAA, there are some older college coaches who do require players to finish offense with shots, including fast breaks, and layups are not allowed, and shots must be taken.

Li Liang has set off a retro trend in the alliance.

As a result, this thing is really fickle, and it has always been shooting, but it suddenly changed and used a layup?

Subsequently, James forced the basket and also chose a layup, but was interfered with by Li Liang's basket defense and missed it.

This is very rare, and James' finishing ability under the basket has always been extremely strong.

After losing weight and returning to the Cavaliers this season, there was a time when the basket finishing was bad at the beginning of the season, but it has recently recovered. After missing the layup, Thompson followed up and grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a basket, but was blocked by McGee again!

McGee slapped Thompson's layup from behind, and the entire Conseco arena erupted in cheers.

Li Liang controlled the ball and shouted at McGee: "Run!" Run! ”

McGee ran towards the frontcourt, and when he got down, Li Liang passed the ball to Granger on the wing first.

Granger then crossed diagonally to the middle on the wing, McGee jumped high, and after receiving the ball, he relaxed his ape arm and scored a light pick.

Truth be told, McGee's physical gifts are really, really good.

Height, reach, and bounce are quite scarce in today's NBA.

Even in the 80s and 90s, when the center was in its prime, it was a rare excellent center figure.

It's a pity, in terms of software, there are indeed a lot of bugs.

After the goal, McGee came over and high-fived Li Liang, and the cooperation between the two was getting better and better.

McGee and Li Liang also felt very happy playing.

Although Li Liang usually likes to scold people, including scolding McGee, he always shares a lot of basketball-related experience with McGee.

McGee entered the league earlier than Li Liang, but he felt that Li Liang knew a lot, and sometimes Coach Mike Brown listened to his guidance, which was really amazing.

Because of the five embarrassments, McGee is often misunderstood, and there are countless people who ridicule him on the Internet.

But since having Li Liang, McGee has found that he may have to replace himself in the number of times he has been on the Big Five.

This makes McGee very happy, playing, understanding ball, and being embarrassed, what a talent.

The Pacers played a wave of counter-attacks and gradually pulled away the score.

But Irving then received a pass from James on the left wing and hit a three-point shot.

When there is a person in the team who is in control, Irving is still very useful as a sharp knife for scoring.

His talent for shooting and layups is really good, and among the small players in the league, Curry may be a little better than him.

The two sides started a wonderful battle in the second quarter.

The suffocating defensive deadlock was gradually opened.

James and Li Liang both embody a very high level of all-round skills, and they are typical representatives of a comprehensive striker.

Of course, Li Liang is more comprehensive, and he can integrate both coaches and referees.

The two sides scored all the way to 46:45, and the Pacers still led by one point.

The Cavaliers made another personnel change, with Irving coming off the pitch and Paul George coming in.

For James, paired with Irving, he can be organized and multi-strategy on offense.

Paired with George, James will have less pressure on the defensive end and will be able to play more with the ball.

It should be said that I would like to thank Li Liang for sending such a good helper as George to James.

It can be said that Li Liang single-handedly created the current luxurious front line of the knights.

Li Liangcai is not afraid.

After George came on the court, Li Liang immediately forced a three-point shot on the outside, with the help of McGee's cover.

Li Liang's three points after covering are different from Curry, Curry's height is limited after all, and if he uses squeezing through the defense, he can interfere with Curry and force Curry to break through with the ball.

Li Liang's three points after covering are not so easy to defend, and the defense that can be used at present is that the two of them can interfere with each other in front and back, so as to force Li Liang to not be able to shoot.

In addition, Li Liang's three-point shots are often far away, causing big defenders to dare not follow easily.

Li Liang is not good at pulling out, otherwise the difficulty of three-point defense will catch up with Kevin Durant.

Durant doesn't need any cover and throws it right over your head.

At 49:45, 4 points was already the biggest lead in the game so far.

But right away, George dribbled on the right side and broke through with the ball, went straight to the basket, and hit a left-handed throw.

Defending George is Granger, and for this former little brother, Granger can't keep up.

With three minutes left before the end of the first half, the score was 51-48, and the Cavaliers made another personnel change, with Blatter replacing rookie Julius Randle with Tristan Thompson.

Thompson needs a break.

Li Liang was supposed to go down to rest and replace West to play the last three minutes.

Li Liang saw that the little junior brother was on it, how could he go down?

Take the initiative to say to Bird: "Larry, put me on the field, I want to play a little longer." ”

"OK, but I'm not going to overpay you." Bird said lightly, he can fight as much as he wants.

When Li Liang saw Bird, he really wanted to give him an elbow as he did in the mission, and let him taste the stewed iron elbow of the Ganjia restaurant.

After the timeout was over and he returned to the court, Randle exhaled softly when he saw that Li Liang was still on the court.

This is the first time he has played against Li Liang on the court.

In the first match between the two sides, Randle did not get a chance to play at all.

After a period of hard work, Randall gained some trust from Blatter.

After all, the Cavaliers' bench is a bit old, and Randle can provide energy.

After the debut, Randle did not directly oppose Li Liang, and as soon as he got the ball in the offense, he took the initiative to kill the basket.

Young people must have a momentum and dare to challenge their predecessors!

"Beep!"

Randall rushed into the three-second zone, and then Li Liang fell......

Down, the referee blew the whistle and blew him a dribbling hit!

It turns out that the predecessors are like this, they fall down when they touch it.

Randle was clearly reckless with the ball, and Blatter shook his head on the sidelines.

James said to Randall, "Be careful, boy, he's cunning. ”

Of course, James said Li Liang, Li Liang is happy, am I cunning? I'm obviously smart, okay.

Look at the time, there are 2 minutes left in the first half.

Li Liang knew that time was running out to educate Randall.

He immediately called up the [Three-point Shooting Rate Improvement Post] from the system, which was still an S-level for 1 minute.

Then, Li Liang directly called Scola on the inside to come over to block the dismantling in the attack.

Opposite Scola is Randall.

After a pick-and-roll cover, substitutions, Li Liang and Randle one-on-one.

Paul George is also bad, and he seems to have deliberately let Randle and Leo one-on-one.

As a result, Li Liang shot first, made a three-point shot, and hit a "swish".

Randall also glanced back at the ball, hollow into the net, no suspense.

Of course, Li Liang will not waste this 1-minute lifting post.

Immediately use the skill [Death Coil] again and knock down James's ball.

The two scramble together, the ball goes out of bounds, and the Pacers have the ball.

The sideline served quickly, still the same routine as just now, and Scola came over to block the pick-and-roll.

Paul George once again let Randle face Li Liang, but Li Liang made another three-point shot and went in!

Shoot you in the face.

Randall's face was like the bottom of a pot...... Oh, he's as good as the bottom of the pot, black.

Li Liang said to Randall: "You have to strengthen your defense, don't just think about scoring." ”

But Randall wanted to buckle one on Li Liang's head now.

George misses an outside jumper, Randle struggles to grab the rebound, turns and rushes to the basket.

As a result, before he could jump up, the ball in his hand was knocked off by Li Liang and the ball was broken again.

Li Liang counterattacked quickly, [one shot into the soul] to Granger, and Granger inserted the ball and made a layup.

An 8-0 wave of attacks knocked the Cavaliers out at the end of the first half.

Also blinded are Randle, as well as head coach Blatter.

Just now, George asked Randle to change Li Liang with two goals in a row, which shows that the coach's control of the team is a bit insufficient.
