The preseason collision of the Kings and Warriors has attracted enough eyeballs.

The Warriors' Avengers are indeed a strong lineup, although James, known as the "Little Green of the East", has a functional conflict with the real Green after coming to the Warriors, but with James's basketball IQ, it is not difficult to be compatible.

After repeated defeats in the face of Li Liang, James has not stopped transforming his ball skills.

Strengthen three-point shooting, improve off-ball ability, improve fast-break propulsion ability, reduce weight, and make your play more light and flexible.

From this point of view, James is also becoming more and more courageous.

But seriously, if Li Liang goes to the Kings first, then James will most likely not join the Warriors.

Because as long as Li Liang doesn't join the Warriors, James still has a chance to beat other teams in the Cavaliers.

But I'm worried that Li Liang will join the Warriors, so I won't play at all.

Therefore, James' team made the choice of "taking the most difficult road and leaving the opponent with no way out".

If you lose for four years in a row, there will be problems with the mentality of whoever you change.

This preseason game was just a warm-up, and as a result, the Warriors' side started with a lot of luck.

Curry, who missed the Olympics in the summer due to an ankle injury, started with James and Green at the front, Pachulia at center, and Klay Thompson as the Warriors' strong starting lineup this year.

On the bench, sitting Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, all three are forwards.

There is no doubt that this is all for Li Liang, cannon fodder for wheel warfare.

However, the Warriors also lost a group of cadres such as Bogut, Aizeli, Barbossa, Barnes, and a whole bench lineup.

For the Warriors, in the new season, everyone will see if James can help the team break Li Liang's domination.

At least in tonight's preseason, the Warriors pinned the King to the ground and beat him up.

The Kings' tactical coordination was a mess.

In the last game against the Lakers, in the absence of Li Liang, Gordon and Cousins were the main firepower points, Guy was the auxiliary firepower point, and Rondo was the command and dispatch, and the game was quite decent.

As a result, after Li Liang started tonight, the scene was obviously very chaotic.

To be honest, this is the first time Li Liang has worked with a point guard like Rondo who has particularly poor outside projection ability, and he is really not used to it.

After the pick-and-roll, Rondo did not have the ability to shoot directly, so he could only carry the ball and go inside.

If Li Liang catches the ball after cutting outside, because Rondo can't attract the attention of the defense, Li Liang's outside cut doesn't make much sense.

When I got the ball, I finally forced my shot.

Therefore, some of the small cooperation between the two in the opening played very badly.

Think about the point guards that Li Liang has paired with in the past, Nash, Paul, George Hill, Westbrook, and the last George Hill, who also has strong three-point shooting ability, and can directly pull up and shoot to attack the basket in the pick-and-roll cooperation.

If you don't let Rondo hold the ball, he can't open up space at all, so he can only go to the baseline, run backwards, and cut in the air.

But how many balls can be played in a game?

By the end, the Kings' offense had become a lot of ball-handling singles.

On the contrary, the Warriors' side worked together quite well.

Kerr's cross-cutting coordination, combined with James' historic strong and weak side transfer ball, mobilized the King's offense like a monkey.

Cousins lacks movement ability on the inside, and he can't handle the Warriors' offense alone.

In the first quarter, the main forces of the two sides played against each other for 10 minutes, and the Warriors broke through the Kings' defense.

A wave of 24:10 attacks stretched the difference to 14 points.

Li Liang once suspected that he was a cancer.

He called two timeouts in the first quarter, but instead of making personnel changes, he made tactical tweaks.

Li Liang made Cousins and Gordon take on more of the offensive burden, and Li Liang himself played a supporting role.

It's not that Li Liang can't attack, it's that Cousins and Gordon don't know how to play when they don't have the ball in their hands.

Not only Cousins and Gordon, but Rondo and Guy are not masters without the ball.

That's a lot of trouble.

The more troubling problem is the defense.

Mike Brown hasn't put together a strong defensive system for the Kings so far.

Anyway, everyone still trains and competes according to the routine of one-on-one defense.

The Warriors began to extend their lead in the second quarter.

The Kings' offense regained some of its senses, with Gordon hitting back-to-back three-pointers from the outside and Cousins scoring on a single Pachuria.

But the Kings' defense didn't improve in the slightest, and was beaten to pieces by the Warriors' cross-cutting coordination.

During the Thunder period, there were three long-armed forwards of Durant, Li Liang, and Roberson who blocked the Warriors' passing line.

Now, there is only one Li Liang left, and there is more James on the other side, how can you defend against this?

At the end of the first half, the Kings trailed the Warriors by 15 points at 47-62 and were crushed by their opponents.

Although it was only a preseason game, Li Liang didn't want to play around, he really wanted to try the current strength gap between the Kings and the Warriors.

I don't know if I don't try, but I'm shocked when I try it.

Although Li Liang didn't do his best, the warriors didn't do their best either.

The overall cooperation of the warriors is obviously much stronger than that of the king.

Not to mention the individual ability of the players, the two MVPs on the opposite side are properly a copy of last season's Thunder.

At halftime, Li Liang resisted the urge to scold and listed the team's shortcomings in the first half one by one.

The more I talk about it, the more I feel that there are too many problems for this unlucky team!

In the offense, the outside shooting rate is sparse, all kinds of passing errors, all kinds of ineffective legends, the inside line is weak and weak, and the rebounds are firmly controlled by the Warriors.

In defense, the three-second zone was infiltrated by the Warriors, and the two passing defense lines were torn apart, and the outside line of three passes would reveal a large gap.

What's worse is that the whole team's offense and defense have no sense of rhythm, and the speed and slowness can't be relaxed at all.

It's not that the person in charge of the ball can't do it, it's that everyone doesn't have a unified idea of the offensive strategy of the whole team.

After all, the training time together is too short, the coaching staff and the core lineup have been changed all over again, and everyone still doesn't know how to play.

Fifteen minutes into the intermission, Li Liang couldn't finish the question.

For the first time, he felt that being a manager was really tiring.

As a player, you just need to take care of yourself.

If you can still take care of your teammates, it means that you are capable.

And as a head coach, taking care of everyone is the basic operation.

If you only take care of yourself, it means that your level is too poor.

In the end, Mike Brown patted Li Liang and said, "Bruce, it's still a long time, don't worry, we have enough time to change." ”

Li Liang nodded, he knew that what Brown said was not wrong, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

In the past four years, to be honest, the four teams that Li Liang went to were all plug-and-play MVPs with excellent strength when the basic market was stable, so the team's record was stable and fast.

This year's Kings are really completely different, it's a team that's been rotten for a decade.

From top to bottom, from the owners to the management, to the team staff, to the players, and even the fans, they don't know how to win.

They are used to getting by, used to going with the flow.

It is obviously unrealistic to change all this immediately just because Li Liang came.

There's so much work to do to grow into a true champion.

Li Liang may have had more tests to go through in the regular season than he has in the last four years combined.
