Chapter 316: It's all in control

Born as a human being, Li Liang feels very proud.

In particular, a fraudulent tactic allowed Li Liang to remain undefeated in the "jumping ball world".

The Lakers regained offensive power.

Meeks slowed down and dribbled slowly across the halfcourt.

Now the score is 33:25, the Lakers lead by eight points, and the Lakers are bringing the game into their accustomed rhythm little by little.

The Thunder's defense is still ferocious, but slightly impatient.

If you are impatient and careless, you are prone to fouls.

The Thunder players especially want to cut off the Lakers' ball, so that they can play a quick counterattack, and it is better to shoot a three-pointer to close the score.

The referee blew the whistle and blew the Thunder for a defensive foul, a foul on Gasol by Ibaka.

Brooks sat on the bench and wondered if he should put Perkins on the court.

If you change, the offense will be four or five, and if you don't change, he is really worried that there will be problems with the interior defense.

The Lakers played patiently, and after passing the ball, Li Liang pulled away at 45 degrees and fed Gasol the ball.

Gasol received the ball comfortably, and Ibaka had just committed a foul and restrained a bit.

Gasol rolled over and walked to the baseline, and the hook of his left hand missed under the interference of Ibaka.

But Howard on the other side squeezed over, jumped under the basket, and flicked the ball out with his left hand.

The Thunder did everything they could to protect the backcourt rebounds, but Howard still had the lead.

Collison was inferior in height and strength after all, and Howard flicked the ball away from behind him.

It's Li Liang again, who took the ball down at the top of the arc, and he held the ball in a high position and made a shooting feint.

This time, Durant was not fooled and came up on guard.

Li Liang protected the ball and passed to Gasol, who received it.

Gasol took the ball and turned over directly and made a jumper!

Ibaka jumped up with all his might to block and Gasol threw a shot that arced high.

The ball landed on the basket, bounced a few times, and still went in!

After the goal, Gasol clenched his fists and yelled, and then high-fived Li Liang.

At 35:25, the difference came to 10 points.

Brooks couldn't sit still and could only call a timeout.

The Lakers' second lineup, four highs on the court, the Thunder team protects the frontcourt board, or loses.

Brooks had to switch on Perkins for Collison.

After a short 20-second timeout, he got back on the pitch.

For more than three minutes in the ensuing period, neither side even scored.

The Thunder and the Lakers are back and forth, but the iron is constantly striking.

Durant lost his touch and missed shots from beyond the three-point line and from mid-range.

The Lakers tried to continue to play inside to extend their advantage, but after Perkins came on the court, they protected the basket a lot.

And the referee went back for two whistles and blew Gasol and Howard for one foul each.

The Lakers didn't continue to take advantage of the inside.

But the score difference has not changed, it is still 10 points, and the time is slowly decreasing.

Li Liang missed a three-point shot from the outside, and the ball bounced out.

With a long rebound, Durant rushed out to get the ball, and he was about to break fast.

Li Liang directly pulled him down, and the referee immediately blew the whistle for Li Liang's foul.

Durant quit, and it was easy to get a chance to counterattack quickly, but it was maliciously destroyed?

If it's just this one, it's still the previous jump ball, and Li Liang's various defenses against himself.

Durant felt furious, he shook the ball and pasted it directly towards Li Liang.

Seeing this, Li Liang turned on the hair dryer, "If you want to be punished, you can give me a punch; If you don't want to, you give me some respect and keep your distance from me! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Durant stopped, tilted his head, and turned away.

Originally, the referee thought that the two were going to have a conflict, and was about to step forward to stop it.

Who knew that Durant suddenly turned around and left, and the bald head of the referee Crawford still felt strange.

At this time, the two sides happened to enter a long timeout, and Crawford casually asked Li Liang, "What did you just say?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just reasoning with him, and I have to be reasonable."

The corners of Crawford's mouth curled, and his heart said that Bruce Lee, that mouth is really an amazing person.

And after this game, what did Li Liang say to Durant, which made the angry Durant suddenly calm down and leave, and he also became a fan.

……

After a pause, Li Liang was substituted and he could rest for a while.

The score between the two sides was still 35:25, and the Thunder only scored 25 points at the halfway point of the second quarter.

The ultra-low scoring made the fans at the Ford Center very uncomfortable tonight, where did the team that attacked thunderous go?

It was as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and they couldn't move an inch.

Not just because of the Lakers' defense, the Thunder couldn't find a sense of it on the offensive end.

They started the home game with confidence and will be hoping to establish an advantage in this one.

I didn't expect to be pressed and beaten at the beginning, and then the attack broke the firepower.

After the timeout, the Thunder finally scored, and Westbrook scored an inside layup.

But on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant immediately broke through the middle and hit a small throw.

The game began to go into a see-saw, with both sides scoring goals and entering a period of stalemate.

Li Liang took a break to pay attention to the situation on the field while discussing the team's strategy with Brown.

Mike Brown believes that the team should continue this defense in this game until the fourth quarter, relying on the individual abilities of Kobe Bryant and Howard and the Thunder showdown.

Although it is now leading by 10 points, Brown believes that it is not safe, and the Thunder, who are playing at home, can explode at any time.

They need to keep the pressure high and wear out the Thunder's offensive feel completely.

Li Liang objected, believing that Mike Brown had fallen into the tactical trap of the Cavaliers again.

One attack and four defenses, and in the end, the defense was not blocked, and the attack was exhausted to death.

"We can't keep pressing the Thunder like that, our age, and the lineup doesn't allow it. And until now, he hasn't really found a way to deal with Durant, he just doesn't feel good. When he adjusts, we will receive it. Li Liang said.

"But we've been defending well......"

"Defend me or you? Can I not know? ”

Mike Brown is silent, you're right, listen to your arrangement.

Li Liang thought for a while and felt that the key point was still in the third quarter, and it would definitely not work in the fourth quarter with the Thunder.

Be sure to build up enough of an advantage in the crucial third quarter to fend off the Thunder's frantic comeback in the fourth quarter.

Of course, if the Thunder can blow itself up, of course it would be the best, but the Lakers themselves have a thunder.

"We're going to build up enough in the third quarter and I'm going to tweak the feel."

In the second quarter, Li Liang didn't hit a three-pointer yet, because defense involved most of his energy.

After sitting on the sidelines and resting for a few minutes, Li Liang replaced Gasol and returned to the game.

At this time, the score on the court was 42:35, and the Lakers led by 7 points.

After all, the Thunder can still slowly chase back, and their offense is like a ram, constantly hitting the Lakers' city gate.

The Lakers' lineup, in the final analysis, still relies on offense, and blindly defending is definitely not good.

Li Liang has done his best, and he knows that with his defensive level, it is impossible to maintain this intensity and effectiveness for the whole game.

So after re-entering the court, Li Liang once again focused more on offensive strategy and three-point shooting.

The feeling of omnipotence and ubiquity in the first quarter was less and re-absorbed in the team's tactics.

Later in the second quarter, he attempted two three-point shots and hit one.

But Durant hit two three-pointers from the outside, and the Thunder's momentum is rising again.

At this time, Nash received two passes from Li Liang, hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, slipped the baseline after a feint, and shot a mid-distance shot from horseback archery.

Two important goals helped the Lakers maintain their advantage, and they ended the first half with a six-point lead at 52-46.

At half-time, Mike Brown asked the team to strengthen their offense in the second half, especially individual attacks.

The Thunder's players are tall and have long arms, excellent athleticism, and are very good at blocking and blocking the ball to move the ball.

Therefore, the Lakers have never been able to play the smooth and efficient positional offense in the first two rounds.

Mike Brown thought that since he couldn't play a good positional coordination, he would simply use small coordination and the player's individual ability to solve the problem.

The individual ability of the Lakers players is also very strong, and they don't necessarily lose to the Thunder when they play against the Thunder.

This offensive idea was established, and the 15-minute break ended and the second half began.

Li Liang tried to shoot two three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, scored one, and felt that the hand was okay.

Today he is also equipped with the touch rune, because there is no problem.

As for the [three-point shooting percentage improvement post], of course, it was also prepared before the game.

At the beginning of the second half, you must give the Thunder a critical blow.

He picked out the hit rate boost post and decided to use the three-minute S post.

This time is short, but the hit rate has increased a lot, 15 percent.

The third quarter began, the Thunder's first offense.

After the break, both Durant and Westbrook adjusted their form.

They are young, they are energetic and have a great ability to adjust.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Durant completed a cooperation with Westbrook, Westbrook went straight to the inside, and then distributed the ball to Durant, who was following him.

Durant took the ball and hit the middle and dunked with one hand!

Mike Brown scratched his face, thinking that Li Liang was right in the second quarter, and with a high-intensity defense against the Thunder, the Lakers really couldn't last the whole game.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the concentration was a little unfocused, and Nash couldn't help this point.

I can only find it on the offensive end.

Kobe dribbled, high and Li Liang's blocking cooperation, Kobe Bryant shook off Sefrossa, and then distributed the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang then moved to the flank to Nash, and then made a cover for Nash.

Nash catches the ball and bursts down the middle.

Kobe Bryant and Nash took turns to break through to the Thunder's interior line, just to force the Thunder's defense to shrink, and then give Li Liang a chance.

Li Liang really had a chance, Nash immediately returned the ball, Li Liang received the ball, and the three-point shot in the front!

Hit!

He didn't use props for this ball, he tried to shoot one first, and it scored.

Yes, it feels really good, it feels good and it is very stable.

Li Liang rubbed his hands and felt that he should do it immediately.
