Bennett is really notoriously lazy.

Although being selected as the top pick did put a lot of pressure on him, resulting in a lot of criticism when he couldn't play well.

But three years have passed, and if there is any criticism, the psychological impact should also pass.

As a result, Bennett still didn't make a name for himself, he is indeed a talented player, and there is no one who is not a genius who can become an NBA lottery pick.

But basketball is more of a job for him than a lifelong pursuit.

After a few teams, he has gone from being a first-round pick to a fringe man in the NBA, and he could be eliminated from this cruel league at any time.

Playing in the national team in the summer would have been a good opportunity for him to train and improve.

Especially in this warm-up game, the coach asked him to play against Li Liang.

If it were a player with Kobe's personality, it was estimated that he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep last night, thinking about giving Li Liang some color in the game the next day.

Bennett doesn't, it's very Buddhist.

Warm-up matches, just play casually and go through the motions.

As everyone knows, although Canada is full of talent, it also has to participate in the qualifying tournament because of its presence in the Americas.

If they fail to qualify, they will not be able to participate in the Olympics.

Therefore, compared with the Chinese team, they should work harder to improve themselves.

After Li Liang made a successful layup in a steal, the Canadian team called a timeout.

Coach Gong Luming asked the whole team to be more active in the offense and more active in grabbing rebounds.

Now Gong Luming is more and more aware that the establishment of a tactical model of "one shot and four robberies" is the best solution for the combat strength of the current national team.

As for what cultivates young people and trains newcomers, isn't this Li Liang a young man? Isn't he a newcomer?

In terms of age, Li Liang is 26 years old this year, although most of the other young people in the national team are 23 or 24, but can the age of the national team be the real age?

Gong Luming is well aware of this, and the Chinese team's vice of changing age is too common.

Even Yao Ming, who was born in the newspaper, can't change it, and everyone else has been changed more or less.

Everyone changes, won't you suffer if you don't change?

But in international competitions, no one will change, and when it comes to the adult national team, it is the Chinese team that suffers.

In terms of qualifications, Li Liang is a newcomer, and the new one can't be new, and he entered the national team for the first time.

It can be said that he is the most junior person in the national team, what is the problem in cultivating him?

"You have to be more aggressive in the scramble, and you can't put rebounds in the front court! Be sure to grab more frontcourt rebounds! ”

In Gong Luming's tactical system before, frontcourt rebounds belonged to watching the sky.

If you can grab it, you can grab it, forget it if you can't grab it, and it is important to retreat.

Because the Chinese team's retreat has always been relatively weak, if you rush to grab the frontcourt rebound, you will inevitably be counterattacked by the opponent.

Gong Luming changed unusually, naturally for Li Liang.

At the end of the pause, the game continued, and the momentum of the Chinese team continued unabated.

In the defense, he spared no effort to make up for the position and interfere, although he was restricted by his personal ability, he would still be scored by the Canadian team, but the pressure was indeed on.

In the attack, the rest of the Chinese team was relatively relaxed, and the burden of scoring was on Li Liang's shoulders.

Canada, of course, began to wrap Li Liang.

And Li Liang is also very fast, and after experiencing Robertson's pinching in the system, Olajuwon's pinching doesn't feel so powerful.

In the middle, Yi Jianlian received two consecutive passes from Li Liang, hit a mid-range jumper, and rushed to the basket with a dribble, and slammed the dunk with both hands.

Soon, the Chinese team overtook the Canadian team in the score.

Canada's pause was in vain.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 29:29.

However, in the second quarter, when Li Liang was resting, the Chinese team's offense and defense had problems.

The Canadian team played a wave of 8-0 climax and regained the initiative on the field.

There is indeed a gap between the players of the two teams in terms of individual ability, and there was a little accident on the Chinese team's side - the main center Zhou Qi suddenly withdrew from cramps in the game.

Zhou Qi sat on the sidelines for a while, Gong Luming sat next to him and observed for a while, Zhou Qi said, "I can't move, I have to rest for a while." ”

Gong Luming sighed, Zhou Qi's talent is indeed good, but his physical fitness and strength really have relatively big defects.

The arms are still thin like hemp rods, and they can't continue to fight with high intensity, so they always have to rest.

Gong Luming's use of him in the game was very "economical", for fear that he would be tired after a long time.

Like Li Liang, it's different, it's easy to use and solid, theoretically speaking, it's not a problem to play a full minute without stopping.

can be called the Chinese version of Chamberlain, and his physical fitness is really good.

In the end, Zhou Qi went back to the locker room to lie down and rested, and did not return to this game.

The palace director had no choice but to say to Li Liang: "Thank you for your hard work, fight for a while." ”

Li Liang nodded, appeared on the stage, and began to control the situation again.

After Li Liang returned, the game was quite intense.

The Canadian team is talented and cooperative, don't look at their NBA players are all inside, but what they are really strong is actually the guard line.

The offense of the Canadian team is led by the guards, and the speed is very fast, counterattacking, moving the ball, three-pointers, and assaulting the basket.

The overall rhythm is a notch faster than that of the Chinese team.

Of course, Li Liang can adapt to this rhythm, and for him this is the normal rhythm of the game.

But his teammates couldn't get used to it.

Attacking Li Liang can come alone, but defense is not good.

Therefore, Li Liang is keenly aware that his first job on the court is to bring up the rhythm.

If it's too fast, it's impossible to get up fast in a short period of time in terms of the playing habits of those people in the national team.

It's not okay to be too slow, the speed can be slower, the reaction and handling of the ball can't be slow, and the attention must be concentrated.

Therefore, Li Liang began to increase his proportion of ball possession in the attack.

After half the court, he took the ball, directed his teammates to run, and the time of the positional battle was slightly longer.

The finishing method is either to attack the basket directly after the three-point block from the outside, or to break through the basket, score a goal or make a foul.

Li Liang is gradually becoming a Denggo - although he has a good mid-range shooting ability, the mid-range benefits are too low.

It's not like a three-pointer has three points, and it's not like a breakaway that can tear through the opposing defense and create opportunities for teammates.

And Li Liang found that it was quite comfortable to throw three points on the outside.

It doesn't take much effort, the three-point line of this FIBA is about the same as the NBA mid-range, so that Li Liang can shoot casually three steps away from the three-point line, and the Canadian team is invincible.

Second, if you don't score, your teammates will actively grab rebounds, and if you grab it, you can attack again, and if you can't grab it, Li Liang can quickly return to defense.

This is not the same as Brother Deng.

Deng Ge is the slowest in the offensive half, the slowest in the defensive half, and the slowest in the defensive half, anyway.

And Li Liang is very fast to defend, and at the same time very deterrent under the basket, which is a great containment to the Canadian guard's rapid counterattack.

Once again, the competition was very intense.

In fact, with Li Liang's style in the NBA, the game is not played like this.

He has always opened and closed widely, pushing a wave of 15:0, and beating the opponent with all the kills.

But with the Chinese team, that's a bad thing.

There are all kinds of small mistakes and loopholes in defense, inability to catch passing mistakes in offense, and low shooting percentage in open positions, etc., resulting in slow points rise and fast points conceded.

And Li Liang's offensive pressure is indeed very high, don't think about stealing chickens and touching dogs, where to touch them?

Fortunately, there is still Yi Jianlian on the Chinese team who can help Li Liang.

He has the ability to hold the ball and play alone in both the low post and the high post, which greatly shares Li Liang's offensive pressure.

and can also block and dismantle, go down, and catch Li Liang's pass to attack the basket.

The cooperation between the two gradually became tacit, and the Chinese team's offense got better and better.

The two sides fought fiercely until the fourth quarter, and at the last moment, the Canadian team still led the Chinese team by 5 points at 90:85.

At this time, Li Liang suddenly tore off the mask of the team basketball guard and hit an ultra-long three-point shot from the outside.

Followed by a steal in the middle, a quick stop at the top of the arc in the fast attack, evading the pursuit of the defender, and hitting a three-point shot again!

Two three-pointers in a row, the situation reversed in an instant!

The morale of the Chinese team, which had the advantage, was greatly boosted.

Canada called a timeout, but the attack was still missed.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Canadian team by 3 points 98:95.

In this battle, Li Liang scored 37 points and had 7 assists.

Yi Jianlian also scored 25 points, and the two teamed up to score 62 points.

The Chinese team is basically relying on two people in the Olympic Games this year.
