Chapter 208: I'll Meet Them

The Lakers had three turnovers in less than four minutes of the opening game, two of which came from Nash.

Nash used to have one of the highest assist-to-turnover ratios in the league, and as a player with a lot of ball possession, he regularly made zero turnovers in games, including in the playoffs.

It is enough to see Nash's consistency in passing and ball control.

Nash has been declining in all aspects this season, and has been in good form lately, playing an average team with a lot of efficiency.

But tonight is facing the Miami Heat, who have a strong outside defense, and in front of the Heat's dark and strong outside defense, Nash looks thin and weak.

On the bench, Mike Brown kept emphasizing the need to reduce turnovers and appropriately increase off-ball runs to open up space.

The Lakers started with a somewhat rigid formation, and Brown made a substitution to replace Thackeray and let Gasol play.

With Gasol, the Lakers have a ball-carrying attack point on the inside, and the pressure on the outside ball-carrier will not be so great.

Brown's idea still makes a lot of sense.

The timeout ended and Gasol returned after a five-game break.

There were some changes in the alignment on the court, and after Gasol came on the court, the Heat did not change the alignment, and continued to let Bosh defend Li Liang and Haslem against Gasol.

Although Haslem does not have a good height and reach, he often defends opponents' inside arrows.

Even O'Neill didn't let him go.

After coming up, Gasol asked for the ball in the low post.

Nash handed the ball to Li Liang, who hung a 45-degree pass to Gasol.

The ball went back and forth between the two of them twice, and Gasol got to the deepest position, and after receiving the ball, he turned and hit a small hook.

Gasol took a break for a while, and his condition was okay.

He's got a certain amount of rest in his knees, which is good for a veteran like him.

Looking back, the Heat's offense played very concisely, and Li Liang observed the Heat's offense from the position, and the biggest feeling was "fast".

The push is fast, the pass is fast, the run is fast, but the offensive tempo is not particularly fast.

The Heat's offense is taking the efficiency route, and efficiency comes first.

The ball rarely stays in the hands of a Heat player for too long.

Chris Bosh gets a small shot gap at the horn position.

He received a pass from James and hit a mid-range jumper.

At 10:6, the Heat still led by 4 points.

Li Liang served from the bottom line, and he didn't miss Bosh in that ball just now.

But the individual quality of the star player is there, and he can shoot with a little bit of space.

If Li Liangtian had been closer, Bosh would have broken through with the ball.

This guy looks like an ostrich, and when he breaks through, he strides like an ostrich.

It was still Nash who had the ball over half court, and the Lakers wanted to speed up.

It was a pre-game strategy laid out by Brown, with Howard missing on the inside, and he wanted the team to play a little faster.

Li Liang stepped forward to make a cover for Nash and then took away the defense, and Nash shoved an inside line straight into the hands of Kobe Bryant, who cut in.

Kobe Bryant made a left-handed layup, but was interfered with by LeBron James and missed the shot.

Rarely, Bryant's cut-in layup missed.

There was a rush under the basket, Li Liang grabbed all the way in the crowd, took the ball down and dribbled to the bottom corner.

He also wanted to pass the ball to Nash to regroup, only to hear Mike Brown shouting "Shoot!" from behind. It's time to vote! ”

It turned out that Kobe Bryant didn't touch the basket just now, so the 24-second timer didn't stop.

Li Liang saw this, LeBron James was in front of him, what should he do?

Lao Tzu votes for you!

Li Liang threw three points, and never knew what it meant to be afraid.

He doesn't look, he doesn't aim, he doesn't want to, as long as he decides to make a move, he can make a move.

This is a must-have quality for any good three-point shooter.

Even if there's an alien standing in front of you, throw the ball with a standard hand before he bites you to death.

James blocked it, and Li Liang could feel that his hand was almost covering himself.

The ball was still thrown out and it felt pretty good.

After all, the bottom corner is Li Liang's point.

The ball bounced on the basket and bounced in, and the three-pointer went in!

Li Liang even leaned back a little bit to avoid James' interference.

At 10:9, the Lakers closed the score.

Li Liang hit the Lakers' first three-pointer.

Off the court, Mike Brown breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Liang's three points were a lifesaver and a weather vane.

As long as his three-point shot is opened, this one can be played.

If Li Liang's three-point shooting is not opened, what Ray Allen, Lewis, Battier, and Miller will go up on the Heat bench later, and it will be difficult to guarantee that the Lakers will not be shot.

Now the NBA three-point shot is so important, especially the tall forward who can shoot three-pointers, the Lakers have no one except Li Liang.

There was a Clark before, and if he played, he could contribute one or two, and now the Lakers have traded Clark away in order to make up for the reimbursement of Jordan Hill on the inside.

In this deal, Kupchak did not say hello to Brown, which made Brown particularly unhappy.

Originally, Clark used it well, quite a good young man.

However, as far as Clark's strength is concerned, it is okay to play an ordinary team on a weak team, and it is basically for nothing to play against the Heat.

The forward shooting still depends on Li Liang and whether Ci Shiping can make fewer mistakes.

The Heat's offense is still playing in an orderly manner.

LeBron James doesn't look like he's trying to get out of the way.

In addition to splitting Huashan twice, he missed a mid-range shot.

Then on offense, he stood four or five steps away from the three-point line and organized the Heat's offense.

Four or five steps away, if you Li Liang can still be a little bit of a three-point threat, you are James, standing there is no different from the referee.

The ball was distributed to Chalmers on the left, and Chalmers received the ball a little and gave Nash a boost to pass.

Break through on the left side to kill the basket, Chalmers, rush duck!

Then a left-handed layup was fanned away by a big hat from Li Liang.

Do you really look down on me Gan Liliang?

Chalmers was a few steps away from the basket, and he didn't adjust his pace, nor did he go up to the confrontation, and when he saw that it was Li Liang who came up to help the defense, he directly went to the basket as a training layup.

Li Liang is still a bit of a cap level now, right?

He can't shoot mosquitoes.

The ball bounced off the rebound, and Nash got it.

The Lakers' quick counterattack, the Heat's return defense is very fast.

With the Lakers' forward line and athleticism, it is basically impossible to score points directly and quickly.

Nash gave the ball to Kobe Bryant on the wing, and Bryant received the ball and used the cover to kill all the way to the middle.

A mid-range jumper near the free throw line!

Three do not stick......

Lao Ke, why did you not vote for three?

Just cut inside and made a layup that didn't stick to the basket.

Now it's okay, nothing will be touched.

Of course, both of these Kobe Bryants were interfered with by James.

In Kobe's turf, James doesn't give Kobe any face.

Bryant was deflated on two consecutive offenses.

But under the basket, Li Liang stood in a very suitable position again.

The ball that did not stick happened to fall into Li Liang's hands.

What to do? Strong? Layups? Divide the ball out?

No, I'm making fouls!

Li Liang's feints also belong to one of his "hidden talents", and his acting skills are much better than Terrence Jones.

After getting the ball, he bracked his arms and legs, looking like he was going to buckle violently.

Bullshit, what will you deduct, at most reluctantly.

As a result, this posture frightened Haslem and James, James reached out to break the ball, and as a result, he hit Li Liang's arm, fouled, and made free throws!

made free throws again, and Li Liang turned into a monster under the basket.

No way, the Heat's backcourt rebounding protection is their weakness.

Haslem is indeed positive, but his height and weight are there.

As for Bosh, Bo Yiban is called for nothing?

A lot of times, the Heat had to let James and Wade go inside to grab rebounds.

Li Liang has a set of frontcourt rebounds, and he also equipped himself with energy runes before the game, which is full of energy and vitality.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line again and hit two free throws, 10:11, the Lakers overtook it.

The Heat started with a good opening, pressing, stealing, fast breaking, dunking.

It's their style of play, and the strategy on the defensive end is very targeted.

Li Liang and Nash's blocking, Kobe Bryant and Li Liang's blocking, Gasol's high-low coordination with the outside, the fight is not smooth and uncomfortable.

Several of the Lakers' balls rely on personal ability, Ci Shiping's strong burst, and Li Liang.

Two free throws, one three-pointer, and seven points alone.

Turtle turtle, Spo was even more impressed with him.

I remember when I was in the summer league, the three-point shooting was so loud that it crashed Norris Cole's shot.

Especially the three-point foul in the half, after Kerr got off the court, there was no smile on his face for three whole days.

It's really being shadowed.

At that time, Spo felt that this No. 28 might become a dark horse.

It's really a dark horse so far, and it's black and shiny.

Before Spo's mind was finished, Chris Bosh received James' breakaway shot on the outside and missed an open jumper.

In order to grab this frontcourt rebound, Haslem flew out of bounds.

Captain Ha really fought hard, and the ball was still given to the Lakers.

The Heat missed two offenses, but in fact, the opportunities came out, but they were useless.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Li Liang in the bottom corner and made a jump shot, but the result was also missed.

Corvo, are you too nervous?

Bryant missed three shots in the opening game.

Kobe Bryant is nervous or not, I don't know, Lakers fans must be quite nervous.

Opening 3 in 0, is this the overture to the concert?

But it doesn't matter if Kobe Bryant can't shoot, Li Liang grabbed the frontcourt rebound under the basket!

Picking up another one, to be exact.

Because Bosh doesn't get stuck!

Haslem alone asked for two people, Kagasol and Li Liang.

He's so short, so thin, can he get stuck?

Haslem had already committed a foul, and the basket did not dare to foul again, so he could only watch Li Liang's light layup.

At 10:13, Li Liang scored 9 points, a horse in good condition at the beginning.

This time, it was Spo's turn to call a timeout, thinking that without Howard, the inside line could stop the point.

thought that it would be enough to defend Bruce Lee's strategy and three-pointers on the outside, but he also played inside and did the work of a center.

Did he discover the secret of the "Heat Center's stat ability automatically increases by 30%" buff?

The trend of the game was a bit out of Spo's control, and it was obviously well arranged before the game.

And on the Lakers' bench, Brown is not very happy with the team's offense.

Although Li Liang scored 9 points in a row, he knew that this was not the norm.

A couple of balls, all with an element of luck, in the first quarter such good luck, not a good sign.

Kobe and Nash, one can't shoot and the other can't pass well, which is very dangerous.

Brown needs the players to adjust themselves, and he believes in the experience of Kobe and Nash.

As for Li Liang, let him go and be proud for a while.

Li Liang is really proud, this first quarter played, and he felt that he was more demonic than a monster.

Can Warcraft have my free throws?

Look at Kobe Bryant again, 3 shots 0 hits!

Lao Tzu made 2 of 2 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 100 percent.

At the end of the pause, Li Liang patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder and said, "Boss, you don't have to worry, look at me, I'll meet them." ”

Kobe Bryant ignored him, and said in his heart that you will meet them, but don't go and not come back.
