?? In the NBA games in the 70s, because there was no three-point line, it was still an inside-based tactical routine.

However, compared to the 60s when the center dominated everything, the 70s forward players and defenders are growing and improving rapidly.

The players in the front line and in the backfield are getting taller and stronger, and the center forward is no longer as big as it was in the 60s.

Of course, the competition became more and more intense, and even tended to be rough.

Li Liang has learned this in the previous mission of the Lakers City of Angels book and the mission of "Truck" Truk Robinson.

Therefore, Li Liang is not afraid of any rough confrontation in the mission.

At the same time, Li Liang is not only not afraid of rudeness, he also has a technical advantage that the interior players of that era did not have at all.

Although Bob McAdoo plays center, he is more like a striker in terms of size and technical conditions.

In fact, before he was thrust to center in his rookie season, he played as a backup small forward on the team.

He's got a very good shot and a lot of footwork under the basket, and he's got a good dribble.

He can attack from anywhere in the half when he has the ball, he's fast, he has great bounce, he can make a pull-up jumper, he can go to the basket, and he completely uses the offensive skills of a guard to hit the opponent's center.

From this point of view, Li Liang and McAdoo are really quite compatible.

But McAdoo has a fatal flaw, which is that he is not very good defensively.

He's a good rebounder, but defensively he's really inferior to Li Liang.

When he played small forward in his rookie season, he was hit by players like Bill Bradley who scored 38 points in a single game.

Later, when he moved to the center forward position, his strength was in attack, and as for defense, it was up to the sky.

Of the five starters, the tallest was McAdoo at 6-foot-9, and their power forward Hyde was only 198cm.

So, they played offensive basketball through and through, and in 1974, it was really difficult for such basketball to beat a defensive, interior team.

But with Li Liang, everything is different.

On the first ball after the start of the game, Li Liang first showed off his touch on the outside.

He took the ball from the normal three-point line and made the first shot.

There was no one to defend him.

The goal went in!

Boston Garden fans were stunned.

In the first four games of the series, they have already scored 44 points on the Celtics' head and 38 points at a time.

The result is a high hit rate.

But it's a bit outrageous to shoot so far from the basket and still be able to score.

Cowens also ran to the basket to grab the rebound, but had to serve.

Li Liang is adjusting his feel, and in the task, he has no hand runes, skills, and props.

Everything depends on his current hard power.

Then moving into defense, Li Liang began to show what McAdoo didn't have.

Cowens came out high to block Havlicek, and Li Liang knew Havlicek's ball path well.

So directly on the intensity of the press, and teammates coordinated with the pack, Havlicek was caught off guard and was tackled.

At the normal rhythm of the brave, they should launch a fast attack.

Jack Ramsey yelled "run, run, run" from the sidelines, but instead of passing the ball to the point guard, Li Liang dribbled through half the court himself.

Li Liang accelerated past Cowens in the high position, and then went straight to the basket, and won a one-handed slam dunk!

After the goal, Ramsey on the sidelines threw a fist hard, and it was a beautiful shot.

Cowens was beaten a little dazed, and he still wanted to defend against Bob Lean's shot, but there was a dragon?

With a wealth of offensive tools and excellent defensive skills, the Braves got better and better in the first quarter.

Li Liang is very handy under the basket, although Cowens is very famous and strong, but the offensive skills are not very delicate.

He plays with passion, hard work, and the vigor of a courageous and perpetual motion machine.

The average player is probably going to die after being entangled with him for half a game.

Li Liang is different, he is a time-tested system warrior, and it is not enough to rely on the trick of "entanglement" to deal with him.

Li Liang is better than McAdoo in terms of weight and muscle strength, and the Celtics obviously feel that the basket that was easy to hit before is not so easy to play.

Especially Havlicek's point, in the third game, the Iron King scored 43 points on 18-of-30 shooting from 30 percent, and it was entirely because the Brave did not defend the basket.

Ramsey is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, and there is no basket guard in the team, so he can only make up for it with offense.

When he got to the Trail Blazers and had Bill Wharton, it was a completely different story.

And Li Liang switched to Havlicek several times in the first half, which was rare in the game of the 70s.

At that time, defense was more about one-on-one, attitude, individual ability, and packing.

This kind of targeted big defense makes Havlicek and Celtic very uncomfortable.

Li Liang's basket under the basket is actually like this, his capping ability is average, the problem is this thief.

The offensive foul made the fly up, and if there is nothing to do, he will pretend to be dead and touch the porcelain.

Although the referee's whistle was loose in the 70s, basketball is not rugby after all, and you can't hit people casually.

At first, the referee didn't care much, but then Li Liang always poured, thinking that he should still give face and blow the Celtics foul.

This came several times in a row, and the fans in the Garden Arena were booed, and Li Liang's anger value rose again.

From this point of view, the Garden Arena can also be regarded as a blessed land.

At halftime, the Braves were 55:47 ahead of the Celtics by 8 points!

In this game in history, McAdoo's play was very bad, his shooting percentage was not good, and he really relied on Randy Smith.

If Li Liang plays well in this game, it will not be a problem for the brave to win the game.

But the reason why Celtic are champions is not something you can easily beat with a different player.

In the third quarter, the Celtics, who had changed their strategy, launched a counterattack.

Cowens continued his perpetual high-pitch defense, and he almost tangled with Lean.

On a sweltering, sweltering April night in Boston Garden, the race started to get tougher.

With Havlicek frustrated, Don Nelson stepped up and hit back-to-back shots in the third quarter.

The Celtics were close on the score, and they continued to maintain a tough defense and kept attacking the interior on the offensive end.

Li Liang is not Russell after all, and it is impossible for him to provide high-quality interior defense throughout the game.

And Cowens's entanglement made his outside shooting a little inaccurate, and without the help of props, Li Liang became a little timid and didn't dare to shoot casually.

If there is a three-point line, Li Liang can also try to shoot one two or three steps away from the three-point line, although it is risky, but the return is also high.

But there is no three-point line here, this lifeline is gone.

The two sides began to get into a quagmire of grappling.

The pace of the game was slowed down, and it was the format that Celtic preferred.

The Celtics have a lot of people who can play, in addition to the starting five, there are also Don Chaney and Paul Westpal sitting off the court.

A player of the calibre of Westphal is not yet reused at Celtic.

Later, he went to the Suns and led the Suns all the way to the Finals against his old club Celtics.

Even though the Celtics expanded their rotation and had 10 players playing, Cowens didn't go down for a minute to rest.

Not a minute, this time he played the full 48 minutes, just to keep attacking Bob Lean.

The game reached the fourth quarter, and the score of the two sides came to 88:87, and the Brave still led by one point.

The Celtics called a timeout.

Li Liang felt hotter and hotter, more and more tired, without the support of energy runes, his physical strength was still lacking a lot.

Li Liang hasn't scored for a while, and he puts all his energy on the defensive end, grabbing rebounds and protecting the basket.

At this point, he had already committed four fouls, and the referee blew two more whistles and he was about to be sent off.

If he loses this one, he will fail the first task of the second volume of the city book that day.

He will never be rewarded for passing the mission.

Li Liang began to regret a little, why did he rush into the task in such a hurry.

You should hone in the six-dimensional task before coming in, and you should watch the game video a few more times and study it carefully.

Li Liang gulped down water, the interior defense is really individual work.

Did Cowens really have a perpetual motion machine in his body?

Didn't he know at all that he was tired?

Ramsey was arranging tactics, and when he saw Li Liang's somewhat confused expression, he stepped forward and said, "Hey Bob, you have to shoot, you have to throw the ball in." “

Li Liang nodded, but Cowens was so tightly entangled, and there was no room for Lao Ko and Paul to open up space for him, how could he vote?

Direct three-point? There's no three-pointer here, and Cowens doesn't get an inch off.

Dribble breakout? Cowens is the best defensive player in the NBA.

Li Liang just nodded, and Ramsey saw this, and said, "Bob, have you forgotten what you said?" You're the greatest basketball player in history. “

"What?"

"You're the greatest basketball player, you say it yourself."

Ramsey repeated, and a memory suddenly popped up in Li Liang's mind.

It was Bob McAdoo, who was so confident that it came across as a little cockylen, and he said he would be the greatest basketball player in the NBA, just in 1974.

McAdoo is extremely confident, which is why he has a lot of shooting options that make sense.

But he has the capital of self-confidence because he can throw the ball in.

"Am I the greatest basketball player?"

"It's up to you."

"The Greatest Basketball Player......"

Only then did Li Liang understand that for McAdoo and the brave, what he had to do was not just to protect the basket, but to have self-confidence, to have the confidence to defeat the green giant in Boston Garden Square.

He's going to break the fear of Cowens, of the Celtics, of the three-second zone!

Only by defeating fear can you gain the fear of others.

Basketball is a game for the brave.

At this time, the timeout time came, and Li Liang returned to the court.

He's going to shoot the basketball, in McAdoo's way, and tear up the Celtics and Dave Cowens.
