Chapter 375: Compete with each other
?? There's a reason why Li Liang doesn't like the off-ball running tactic, not because he wants to play big.
First, Rivers' understanding of his tactical positioning and technical characteristics during his time with the Lakers was problematic.
Li Liang will run empty-handed, and he has a strong ability to find open positions, but he is not the shooter like Ray Allen and Redick, who run, catch the ball, and shoot immediately.
His strength is still three-point shooting in open positions or weak interference, so many times, he is two or three steps away from the three-point line, in order to avoid interference and can shoot in the open space.
Catch & Shoot is a completely different way of shooting, and Li Liang's ability is worth 50 points, which is barely qualified, but it is definitely not a killer feature.
Therefore, if the Clippers designed him with a lot of pile-wrapping tactics in the box position, Li Liang would not be very competent.
At the same time, in the Clippers, there are no vacancy machines like Kobe, Nash, and Howard, and Li Liang wants to maintain his offensive efficiency, such as letting the ball in his hands.
Paul is indeed a master of playmaking, but his ability to pull open positions is not as good as Kobe's, and Griffin's low-post package attraction is not necessarily as strong as Howard's injury decline.
Besides, Li Liang has been working hard to improve his ball-handling offense and passing ability all summer, is it a waste?
Li Liang is a team basketball player, he is not Kobe.
But Li Liang also has his own plan for his own ability, and has a strong independent idea, and is not dominated by anyone.
Thinking about it, Lao Tzu talked and laughed with those basketball tactics ancestors in the system class and listened to the teachings.
In reality, of course, there will be their own thoughts, how can they succumb to others.
After the tactical training, the players went into a 20-minute break.
After that, the team will have an in-team confrontation drill.
It's time to test the players' quality and tactical understanding.
Rivers and the coaching staff discussed how to re-design the tactical routine for Li Liang.
Rivers now specifically wants to grab Mike Brown and ask him what Li Liang's instruction manual is.
Why does he think that the tactics of running without the ball are quite suitable for him and will definitely increase his score, but he thinks it can't be done?
It's just that Mike Brown is now the Lakers coach, how can he give the instruction manual to the Clippers.
Rivers consulted with the coaching staff for more than 20 minutes, and the Clippers players had already started their own groups and were ready to play against each other.
Needless to say, Paul and Li Liang have to lead each team to fight and compete in tactical concepts.
Paul's team is Jordan Jr., Glenn Davis, Crawford plus Caron Butler.
Of the five starters, Paul accounted for four.
And Li Liang's team is Griffin, Matt Barnes, Willie Green and Antoine Jamison.
It's a lineup without a center, so you can only let Griffin play against the center, and Jamison plays the power forward.
But who is the point guard? Of course, Li Liang came.
"I'm going to play point guard and show you how well I dribble."
Li Liang took the ball and said that he wanted to play point guard.
Jamison worked with Li Liang in the Lakers last season, and he knew Li Liang's dribbling skills.
"Oh Bruce, you're going to be a point guard, are you sure you can dribble the ball across half court?"
Li Liang said: "Look down on me, I have been trained hard in the summer!" ”
Li Liang said this, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, so he took out the [Black Pearl's Top Hat] from the system and put it on.
It's not an official game anyway, and with his hat on, he has no problem with the ball.
It can even be said that it can show all kinds of bells and whistles.
However, Li Liang's purpose is not to show, but to verify whether his understanding and ideas of tactics are correct in the competition.
Rivers saw that the two sides were already eager to try, and there was bound to be a conflict between Li Liang and Paul.
If this kind of conflict can be divided by the way of the game, Rivers is happy to see it.
Ballmer, the owner on the sidelines, was even more excited, and he wanted to see who was better of his two stars.
Junior fans are always like this, especially concerned about "who is better and who is stronger", after all, basketball is a competitive sport.
So, Rivers himself was the referee and began to blow the penalty for this confrontation.
Griffin stands in the center circle and Jordan Jr. jumps the ball.
That's a bit of a bully, just Griffin's arm......
Li Liang thought, it is better for Lao Tzu to jump the ball, Lao Tzu's jump ball has a high success rate, and there is no need to jump.
Sure enough, Jordan Jr. relied on the advantage of height and arm span to win the ball first.
Paul took the ball and started the first attack.
The Paul team wore a white jersey, while Li Liang wore a black training uniform.
Paul has played with Jordan Jr., Butler and others for two seasons, and the cooperation and tacit understanding are very good.
They quickly took the lead after a series of attacks in the opening period.
And Li Liang was obviously a little jerky about the attack on this side, Li Liang tried to direct the attack, but his teammates ran a little chaotically.
Rivers thought about it, Li Liang, this kid, would really let himself catch ducks on the shelves.
His dribbling has really improved a lot, but the offensive organization is definitely not just able to dribble.
And Paul led the white team to play with ease, and soon a small climax of 9:0 made Li Liang's team have no power to fight back.
But Li Liang never thought about throwing three points outside, he calmed down and continued to dribble across the half court, organize, pass, and command like a point guard.
They finally scored the first goal, it was Griffin who seized an opportunity in the low post, Li Liang immediately passed the ball, Griffin received the ball and turned around, pressing Jordan Jr. to make a layup.
The two began to have some tacit understanding.
In the confrontation last season, Li Liang bullied Griffin a lot and tossed this honest man enough.
So after Li Liang joined the Clippers, Griffin was quite uneasy.
I was thinking that I would deal with Li Liang well in the new season, but why did he suddenly become a teammate?
And Li Liang's existence completely stole the limelight from Griffin.
It's just that on the court, Griffin is still very dedicated.
After the two cooperated several times, they gradually got a feeling.
Li Liang successfully steals Paul's pass in a defense!
Griffin immediately rushed forward, Li Liang dribbled through the half, a precise ground-hitting pass, Griffin received the ball and dunked!
After the goal, Griffin pointed at Li Liang, and this pass was no worse than Paul's.
Li Liang began to put pressure on Paul with his power on the defensive end.
Although Li Liang's team lacks height on the inside, it crushes the Paul team on the outside.
Leon, Barnes, and Willie Green are all defensive stalwarts.
They immediately put together a powerful defensive net to block Paul's passing lanes and prevent him from easily delivering defence-tearing passes.
Paul's offensive efficiency began to decline, and Li Liang began to fight back.
Li Liang's way of catching counterattacks is completely different from Paul's.
Paul is strong on the counter-attack, and he always makes the best choice.
He has a machine in his head that is constantly calculating, looking at the situation on the field, which choice is the most advantageous, and the attack has the highest success rate, he will do what he does.
If the counterattack can't be hit, then grind the position, if the others can't, I'll come again.
Li Liang is different, he does it himself first!
He hit two three-pointers on the counterattack, and the scalp of his opponent's shot was numb first.
Then, after attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, he chose to pass the ball inside.
Anyway, it's just to pass it in, to Griffin, to rush in, and he doesn't care about the others.
If you fight back against Barnes, Green, Jamison, or whatever, it's basically a waste of opportunity.
It's better to give Griffin and let him use his strong body and personal ability to rush to the inside to cause damage.
Therefore, even if there is a big empty space in the bottom corner of Barnes, Li Liang will not risk a big horizontal pass.
He was afraid of mistakes, and he was even more afraid that Barnes would not be able to score.
If it was Paul, he would have passed it to Barnes.
But the problem is, sometimes Barnes really can't shoot.
Li Liang's seemingly rough and elegant organization is not as precise and elegant as Paul's, but it has a very good effect.
Li Liang's team's scoring efficiency has been rising all the way, especially Li Liang's unexpected ability to hold the ball, and he broke through the basket with the ball on the outside line continuously, either scoring goals or making kills, which made the Paul team a little overwhelmed.
Actually, Li Liang is Laipi, this guy is wearing a [Black Pearl Top Hat].
If he didn't wear it, his breakthrough lethality wouldn't be so strong.
But no matter what, Lao Tzu wants to win Paul and convince him!
Paul, of course, didn't admit defeat so easily, and later he found that his teammates were not very useful, and finally got into his own hands.
Li Liang and Paul began to fight each other, and Ballmer watched quite excitedly from the sidelines, his face flushed.
But if you want to say that it is right, Li Liang is still a step ahead.
At the last moment, Li Liang called a timeout and arranged two tactics, one offensive and one defensive.
On his side, he made a three-pointer, and then successfully caused Jordan Jr. to foul on the offensive end, allowing his team to take the initiative.
Finally, Rivers blew the whistle for the end of the match.
The Li Liang team defeated the Paul team by 61:58, a 3-point advantage.
After the match, Paul stepped forward to shake hands with Li Liang and said, "I played well, but I won't be convinced, I still think I'm right." ”
Li Liang shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, you take a lot of money, whatever you say is what you say." But when it comes to the field, everyone will only listen to the person who led them to victory, bubble. “
