After the timeout, there was more than a minute left in the first quarter.

Mike Malone didn't send Thompson and Barnes again, leaving the bench to play the last minute to see how well those players could handle the problem.

In the end, the score of the first quarter was 20-15, and the Warriors scored a goal while the Lakers did not score again.

The two sides will have a two-minute break and will enter the second quarter of the battle.

Mike Brown felt like he was going to do something and laid out his tactics in the short break.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange, which is to clarify the division of labor between players on the defensive end.

Brown does have a set of tuning defense, after all, it is a Spurs product, and the quality is guaranteed.

Unlike the Lakers, except for the name of "Triangle Offense", there is no other use for cheating and drinking.

With the coach's guidance, the division of labor between the players is clear, so that the defense will be more stable and will not be broken as at the beginning.

Brown said to Li Liang: "Bruce, deal with Barnes and control his score." ”

Barnes played six minutes in the first quarter, shooting 2-of-2 from three-point range and scoring eight points.

His height, flexibility, and offensive power, the Lakers have no one to deal with him except Li Liang.

Li Liang nodded and took a sip of water.

At this time, the subtitles popped up again in front of me.

Damn, the system is about to release tasks again!

Two quest lines appear in front of me:

[Task 1, the second round of the counterattack: Score 8 points in a row on the head of Harris Barnes, requirement: It needs to be completed with Barnes' one-on-one defense. Reward: One random rune. 】

[Task 2, the second round of counterattack: defend Harris Barnes, take 2 steals on him, task reward: one random rune.] 】

Li Liang looked very similar to the first two of the previous three tasks.

It seems that the system is still looking for an opportunity for him to complete this kind of task.

Of course, Li Liang chose task two, 2 steals, to be honest, it was not very easy.

But in comparison, it is more difficult to score 8 points in a row, and he is still good at defense.

After confirming the selection of task two, the second quarter of the game began.

The Warriors were at their best, with Klay Thompson and Harris Barnes on the sidelines.

The reporters in the audience took out their cameras again and shot at Thompson and Barnes.

They were the protagonists of the day, especially Barnes, who had high hopes for him in seventh place.

Li Liang walked up to Barnes and thought about two steals, and it seemed that it would take a little effort.

Steals are the hardest of all stats, unlike rebounds and scoring, which you can always get if you have the heart to brush it.

However, Oscar Robertson and Walter Fraser are both broken, can I be afraid of you Barnes?

Harris Barnes felt Li Liang's unkind gaze and didn't feel very comfortable.

As soon as he was sitting off the court, Barnes noticed Li Liang.

This guy looks like a tough guy to play against and is fierce defensively.

Offense with the ball isn't Barnes' forte, and his main offense from the outside is a pull-up jump shot and a mid-range shot from step back.

He is more upright with the ball, without so many tricks, and without unsolvable breakthrough lethality.

However, he shoots quite well, and he is in a fit with the potential to improve across the board.

The Warriors had the best performance in the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter, the players on the court still regarded Barnes as the offensive core and passed the ball to him.

Barnes received the ball on the right side from beyond the three-point line and faced Li Liang's defense directly.

One!

Li Liang leaned slightly to the side and gave up his right hand, which is the left side of Barnes.

He knew that Barnes was not very strong with his left hand, so he conceded the left side, which was the middle, to him.

Barnes hesitated for a moment and passed the ball out.

Seeing this, Li Liang snorted and said, "Don't you dare to attack?" ”

[Rage +10 from Harris Barnes.] 】

Li Liang didn't expect Barnes's anger to come so quickly, and sure enough, the young man couldn't help but flirt.

And by this time, Klay Thompson had dribbled to the inside, and then!

And then it was a mistake ...

Li Liang looked at it, this guy's ball holding is not much better than his own!

Obviously, after Brown's targeted arrangement in the second quarter, the Lakers' defense was not as weak as in the first quarter.

The Lakers launched a quick counterattack but were unsuccessful, and they lacked an offensive arrow.

Falling into the position, Li Liang consciously stood at the bottom corner of his waist.

It's the defensive end, rested on the offensive end, and it's a very comfortable game.

The Lakers were all over the place, did not score, and were counterattacked by the Warriors.

Li Liang took the lead and roared, "Retreat!" ”

The rest of the Lakers followed Li Liang and ran back frantically.

Liggins passes the ball to Barnes on the flank, and Barnes takes the ball and wants to speed up!

As a result, Li Liang opened his arms on the outside, clinging to Barnes, and squeezed Barnes out of the sideline!

Li Liang fouled the ball, but it ruined a quick counterattack by the Warriors.

Tactical fouls, anyway, there are 10 chances in a game, so you have to take advantage of them.

Re-serve, again positional battles.

This time Barnes won't hide anymore, he took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball.

This time he came to the left side, which he was more accustomed to, and everyone pulled away, and he wanted to eat Li Liang hard!

Li Liang lowered his center of gravity, adjusted his stride, and kept looking at Barnes's feet with his peripheral vision.

There are signs of force in the foot, and he is about to start!

Li Liang predicts that Barnes will break through from the right side!

Sure enough, Barnes still used the move he was most familiar with, holding the ball on the right side.

He's physically strong, and the average defender can't stand him.

But Li Liang is not an ordinary defender, he has even defended James!

The fact is that among this year's rookie players, there is no one who can rely on his body to eat Li Liang on the outside!

Li Liang is not the strongest, but the several abilities that this guy has improved through missions have given him the best defensive hardness among rookies.

Lateral movement ensures that there is no misplacement, core stability ensures that it does not get squeezed out, and steals ensure that there is always a threat to the ball.

Barnes walked in with Li Liang on his head and found that he couldn't walk!

Oops, once it doesn't go up, Barnes' first-mover advantage is gone.

Li Liang immediately stuck to it, wrapped his arms around him, and forced Barnes into a deadball state.

Barnes wanted to raise his hand to pass the ball out, but Li Liang was so engrossed in breaking you off.

How can it be so easy for you to pass on!

Li Liang took the ball out of Barnes's hand directly.

After falling to the ground, he protected the ball with his body and threw the ball to Eingar, who came to pick it up.

Steal plus one!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang used a steal to give Barnes a downshot.

Ayn blessed the ball and ran to the frontcourt, and the one-arm dunk was successful!

The Congolese young man roared angrily after dunking and high-fived Li Liang.

The Lakers' morale is getting stronger.

Originally, judging from the strength and trend, it was likely to be a game in which the Warriors beat the Lakers.

But with Li Liang condensing the Lakers players, the situation has changed.

Barnes, a newcomer on the court who the Warriors have high hopes for, was locked up by Li Liang in the second quarter!

It's really locked, and Barnes doesn't have a good way to face Li Liang's defense.

Once his first step is unable to use his body to squeeze open space, the subsequent offensive moves will be difficult to complete.

His weakness on the ball was exposed.

And Klay Thompson, the Warriors' other core, has even worse ball-handling.

All of a sudden, the Warriors didn't have a reliable offensive point with the ball on the perimeter.

Li Liang is on duty and is on duty to follow Barnes 24 hours a day.

Chase after reluctantly, you plough the field and I will weave cloth, and I will defend if you attack.

In fact, in the summer league, most of the players still play against each other, and they don't take it too seriously defensively.

Like Li Liang, who seems to have a grudge against Barnes, is rare unless he has a grudge in the NCAA.

But this year, Kentucky and North Carolina have no grievances, and if they do, they have nothing to do with Li Liang, and he can't play.

In the entire second quarter, Barnes didn't even score!

was also prevented by Li Liang from making two mistakes.

This annoyed Barnes and contributed a lot of anger points to Li Liang.

Coupled with Li Liang's hair dryer blowing in his ear, it finally blew Barnes's fire.

Towards the end of the second quarter, Barnes easily grabbed a frontcourt rebound under the basket.

Just wanted to go to the basket, Li Liang behind him came out and knocked the ball off!

Li Liang's hand hit Barnes on the arm, and the referee blew for a foul.

But Barnes was furious, and you just had to stop me.

Now I have a chance to score in an open position, and you're going to get me down for a foul?

In fact, he misunderstood Li Liang, Li Liang just wanted to make a steal, but he didn't expect to fail.

[Rage +50 from Harris Barnes.] 】

Barnes's rage level soared to 50, which is incredible, and Jones used to be drunk to reach this level.

Barnes turned around and angrily shoved Li Liang.

And Li Liang was already prepared, so he deftly dodged and got out of the way.

Barnes pushed so hard that he stumbled and almost fell......

He was even angrier!

But teammates and referees have already surrounded Barnes and pulled Barnes away.

Li Liang raised his hands and said that it had nothing to do with me.

I'm innocent, I'm the victim, give me the ball and I'm going home.

Because of Li Liang's restraint, there was no greater conflict between the two sides.

After Barnes was pulled away, he was full of indignation, what a grievance!

The defense was blocked, and I didn't hit anyone if I wanted to, shame on me!

This year's No. 7 show was educated by a Chinese player with the 55th pick.

Barnes was ejected from the game by the referee with this emotion, and Li Liang continued the game.

Oh no, Barnes is leaving, what about Lao Tzu's mission?

Don't go! Come back!

At this time, the system gave a prompt: [Harris Barnes is sent off, the mission is complete. Achievement: A small counterattack of the second round show, reward: a rune, please enter the exchange center to view. 】

Li Conscience breathed a long sigh of relief.

Don't play ball, it's not beneficial.

You see that second-grader Klay Thompson is very calm.

Thompson's expression hasn't changed since the start of the game.

Li Liang thought to himself, isn't this a nerd?

But when Barnes was gone, Thompson became the Warriors' firepower.

His attacking tactics are dominated by running off the ball and taking direct shots after receiving the ball.

By the third quarter, Thompson was firing on all cylinders, firing from the outside.

In comparison, Li Liang's ability to run in the gap is still slightly inferior.

Still, he used his long range to threaten the Warriors' basket.

Not to be outdone, the other teams of the Lakers took advantage of the space opened by Li Liang to rush to the basket.

The scores alternated between the two sides, and that's when Mike Brown finally got into the role and started to get serious.

Because he feels like he can win this game!

In the third quarter, Brown called a timeout and rearranged his defensive and offensive tactics.

On the defensive end, he asked Li Liang to help defend Thompson and not give him too much room to shoot.

On the offensive end, it is necessary to create more opportunities for Li Liang to make three-point shots.

Brown used what he had learned all his life to field a two-centre-forward lineup of Thackeray and Shomoggi.

On the outside is Goodlocker and Morris's double point guard, and then Li Liang is a heavy gunner.

Thackeray and Shomogi's role is to double cover on offense.

Create space for Li Liang to shoot.

If Li Liang didn't have space, he would give the ball to Goodlock or Morris to force it.

On the defensive end, Brown patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said, "Boy, the defense depends on you!" ”

Li Liang understood what Brown meant, this was to treat himself as a dog, wiping his ass everywhere on the defensive end.

In fact, Li Liang's defensive level has not reached this point, and his level of assistance and supplementary defense is still insufficient.

However, he has good lateral movement, hard defense, and the key is on the defensive end, he can shout.

A defensive core must be able to shout and command the whole team to run and rotate.

After all, directing traffic is the most important thing......

No, directing traffic is the opposite, it should be obstructing traffic.

Li Liang's four-year water dispenser was not guarded for nothing, and he was very good at commanding and defending.

After Brown clarified the offensive and defensive tactics, in the roar of Li Liang, the Lakers burst out with strong combat effectiveness!

Li Liang, whose achievement task has been completed, has no distractions and concentrates on leading this ragtag army to fight with the warriors!

Li Liang's shouts could be heard in every corner of the COX Gymnasium.

"Fill in the position! Fill in the gap! Morris keep up! Keep up! ”

"Rebound! Jam! Push to fight back! ”

"Hold on, I'm here, give me the ball!"

On the offensive end, Li Liang is also in command.

In front of Thackeray and Shomoji, he desperately made a wall for Li Liang, and after Li Liang received the ball, the outside line was two steps away from the three-point line.

Shoot directly!

The opportunity given by his teammates is only for a moment, even if he doesn't score in front of him, he won't hesitate!

"Huh!"

The ball hits the center of the basket and hits the three-point shot!

Li Liang clenched his fists after the goal, this is a key goal!

The score came to 80:78, and the Lakers overtook by 2 points!

This is the first time the Lakers have taken the lead in the whole game!

The two sides fought until the fourth quarter, and no one expected that this game, which seemed to have little suspense, would be played so fiercely.

The audience at the scene was no longer wilting, and they applauded loudly for Li Liang's super long three!

With less than a minute left before the end of the game, Mike Malone called two timeouts in a row and used them all.

As a result, Klay Thompson missed a three-point shot under Li Liang's close defense.

Thackeray picked up the rebound inside and passed it to Li Liang, and the Warriors had to resort to foul tactics.

It was unprecedented, and there were audience members shouting "Bruce Lee".

In the summer league, tickets are already very cheap, half sold and half given, and fans come to see the excitement.

I didn't expect this game to feel like it, and the two sides played very excitingly.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line, and at the last moment, fouled tactics.

Hehe, it's his domain, and at the free-throw line he's going to be in the Field!

Hit both penalties!

At 82:78, the Warriors had no timeout.

The morale of the Lakers resisted the Warriors' dying attack, and the game was over!

The Lakers won the first game of the Summer League!

At the end of the game, Li Liang took a deep breath.

This is the first official game he has played since the NBA.

Won.

And it feels good to win.
