Chapter 370: How to Do It

?? The Lakers in the 1980s were in their heyday.

In 11 years, they have reached the finals 9 times and won 5 championships, and they are invincible in the West, and it is often themselves and not their opponents who can beat the Lakers.

After all, their lineup is too luxurious, as long as the top and bottom are united, the overall strength of the average Western team is not the opponent of the Lakers at all.

In those days, they were the true yellow-robed kings, ruling the western half of the region for an era.

If it weren't for the Magic's early retirement due to AIDS, with their 1991 roster, they could still make a difference in the West.

In the face of such a Laker, it is really not easy for Li Liang to win this mission match.

However, Li Liang thought about it again, since it was an ordinary-level task, it would definitely not be difficult.

And the system arranged the game in 1982 very intimately, when there was a three-point line.

With a three-point line, there is a lifeline for Li Liang, and it is not too difficult to win.

The main problem is again 10 assists.

Last summer, Li Liang felt the difficulty and fun of this type of task when he was doing a passing task.

It's not as simple and crude as scoring, rebounding, or defense, you can just do it yourself.

If you want to pass the ball and make assists, you have to understand the tactical style of your team, understand the characteristics of your teammates and form a tacit understanding with them.

Especially if you want to brush assists, you must treat your teammates in the sweet zone, which is the so-called sweet spot.

Wherever he catches the ball, it's easy to score.

For example, Li Liang is going to the Clippers in the future, and Jordan Jr. is standing in a big empty position outside the three-point line, and it is useless for you to pass the ball to him, he will not shoot three points.

Therefore, passing tasks need to use the brain, and the first two times are basically impossible to pass and complete smoothly.

Because, Li Liang is ready to work for a week to pass this task.

But at the beginning of the game, Li Liang found that this task did not seem to be as difficult as he imagined.

Because of the Denver Nuggets' offensive style, to be honest, they are more unrestrained.

The Nuggets' starting lineup is center Dan Isemer, the teacher of Li Liang's learning to hang pass.

Power forward Van Dewic, although he is a power forward, Van Dewicki's style of play is obviously more biased towards small forward, and he has a strong outside shooting ability.

Small forward Lee Liang Inglish, and the two guards are Kenny Higgs and T.R. Dunn.

It's a very light lineup, with Iser playing center with the size and style of play of a big forward, and Van der Veric playing as a small forward as a big forward.

The Nuggets' focus is on fast offense, and this season they have scored more than 100 points per game.

The Nuggets have scored the most points in a single game for two teams in NBA history.

A year later, in 1983, they played the Pistons with a 186-184 tie and a total of 370 points.

It is enough to see what kind of team the Nuggets are, that is, crazy offense, defense comes casually.

In this game, the opponent Lakers is a super offensive team, and after Magic Johnson squeezed out Paul Westhead this season, his successor Pat Riley has completely built the team into a Show Time team.

So the two teams started with a crazy attack.

In the NBA in 1982, the regular season was played at a very fast pace.

There are not many positional offensive routines, and neither team likes to grind the position very much, and rushes at every opportunity.

Magic Johnson is the NBA's strongest fast counterattack engine, after Westhead was squeezed out by Johnson, the top-ranked Pat Riley completely followed Johnson's style to create a strategy for the Lakers, that is, a fast counterattack that ran wildly.

And the head coach of the Nuggets is Doug Mo, the greatest coach in Nuggets history, serving as an assistant coach from the ABA days.

After the ABA was merged into the NBA, he began to coach the Spurs as a head coach, and in 1980 the brick Nuggets brought crazy offensive genes to the Nuggets.

This kind of rhythm of the game is very much in line with Li Liang's appetite, anyway, it's just running, desperately attacking.

After the [basic ball control] was increased to 70 points, Li Liang could already hold the ball and push the counterattack decently.

The two sides fought as if they had wheels on their feet, back and forth, back and forth.

Li Liang started against Jamal Wilkes — nicknamed "Silk," the No. 54 who retired his jersey at the Lakers' home court last season.

Fighting, Li Liang began to face the magician.

The two men were about the same height and started a direct conversation on the field.

Li Liang used his follow-up defense and close defense skills on the defensive end to try to limit Johnson.

But he soon discovered that Johnson wasn't something he could contain with a simple pressing defense.

He has a very wide passing vision, he dribbles quite well, and he is always able to surprise him.

Relying only on Li Liang's pressing alone, without the cooperation of his teammates to cut off the passing line, the defensive effect is not good.

However, Li Liang's learning ability is still quite strong, he draws a scoop according to the gourd, and pushes fast attacks like Johnson.

Of course, his passing was not as aggressive as Johnson's, but he also delivered several assists and beat the Nuggets' offense.

On the Nuggets side, in addition to Li Liang, Dan Isele, Higgs, and Vanderwich played very well.

The Nuggets are typically open offense, and the players have the ability to handle the ball independently.

A lot of small cooperation, a lot of individual offense, and the players are in good shape, so the Nuggets led the Lakers by 5 points at halftime 78-73.

That's the half-time score, and a lot of teams play three quarters to get that score.

If it were the Detroit Pistons in '04, the two sides might not be able to play like this for the whole game.

Li Liang is addicted to running and bombing, and such a crazy attack is really happy.

It's no wonder that many NBA players prefer to play offensive basketball rather than defensive basketball.

Li Liang thought of the pain he had when he did defensive tasks before, and he was very understandable.

In this way, the completion of the task is not as difficult as imagined.

In the first half, Li Liang gave 5 assists, and in the second half, Li Liang played more easily.

He's starting to brush up on assists.

For example, when he got a backcourt rebound and quickly counterattacked, he rushed to the front, a flat horse, no one under the basket, he didn't get the ball by himself, but a hit to the ground and passed behind him, so that the player who followed him could take the ball and score, and he got an assist.

For example, when there is a big vacancy that can be thrown by themselves, they have to pass it to Van Deweych or Higgs - these two have a good hand tonight, and they can only throw it themselves when they don't have time.

Even if it is thrown into Li Liang's assist, if it can't be thrown, if it can't be thrown in, it can't be thrown in, anyway, there are more offensive opportunities.

In this way, Li Liang brushed his assists to 10 at the end of the third quarter.

In this way, head coach Doug Mo scolded Li Liang.

"Are you playing basketball? Are you playing basketball? What else can't you do for the sake of data? ”

Li Liang rolled his eyes, his nostrils turned to the sky, and thought to himself, isn't the system just for me to get the data?

"What a garbage player in the garbage league, don't play seriously, don't play seriously!"

Doug Mo was still angry and continued to scold, but he couldn't replace Li Liang.

Because Li Liang Inglish is the most important firepower point on the outside of the Nuggets, and now it is difficult to solve the game with the Lakers, of course, he can't be replaced.

Doug Mo graduated from the prestigious University of North Carolina at a young age, but was forced to end his college basketball career because he admitted to gambling.

He was drafted by the NBA after participating in the draft, but instead of playing in the NBA, they went to Italy.

After playing in Italy, he returned to the United States to play in the ABA League, where he began and ended his career and eventually became a basketball coach.

Now he coaches in the NBA, but he keeps calling the NBA a "garbage league" because he always thinks that the ABA is the real basketball.

The NBA is nothing more than a bunch of arrogant players who don't train hard and don't play seriously.

It wasn't until Stern entered the NBA a few years later that Mo felt that the NBA was saved, and the way they were saved was because they enabled the ABA model - focusing on three-point shooting, starting an interesting All-Star Game, and standing up for superstars who played well.

Li Liang was indifferent to Mo's complaints, and just received a wave of anger.

At this time, the scores of the two sides are very close, and there is still the final quarter of the game, and the Nuggets are going to win this game.

Before the fourth quarter, Li Liang said to Doug Mo: "Coach, take a good look at whether I am a garbage player or not." ”

Li Liang, who has already brushed up 10 assists, finally doesn't have to hide anymore, Lao Tzu can shoot three-pointers!

In the 1981-1982 season, an offensive team like the Nuggets only shot an average of 0.5 three-pointers per game, which was really pitiful.

It's completely useless, try to shoot outside, and Meng Jin counts one as one.

The situation of the Lakers is the same as that of the Nuggets, and the three-point shot is completely a last resort.

As a result, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang controlled the ball outside, and there was no one in front of him, so he directly hit a three-point shot, giving the Lakers a blow to the head.

Johnson thought it was just luck, but it was just the beginning.

In the next few offenses, Li Liang changed the style of playing with quick counterattacks and assists in the first three quarters, and kept wandering outside the three-point line.

As soon as you get the chance, you will definitely shoot when you get the ball.

Although there is no help of runes in the system, the feel is not so stable.

But its 87 three-point ability value is high enough, and no one has defended it yet.

Hit 3 of 4 three-pointers and stopped the Lakers!

Back on the bench, Doug Mo looked at Li Liang and asked, "How did you do that?" ”

Li Liang said: "Aim, shoot, enter." And so it did. ”
