Chapter 650: Stealing a skill to play
Li Liang thinks about the system too well, what is it to encourage himself to enhance his ability more, but in fact, it is still to collect anger points!
2000 at a time, why don't you grab it!
Do you know how hard it is to collect anger now?
A popular person like me, Li Liang, no matter where I go, I receive full of love from fans, so how can I be angry?
It's a pit, it's a pit.
Li Liang thought so in his heart, but it was just a good thing.
Every additional item like this means that Li Liang will play a superior role in the playoffs.
There is still a half-finished [Golden Shield] lying in his exchange center, which is also a rage destroyer, but the effect is definitely strong.
Besides, it's good to learn a skill in each game and use it to pretend to be forced.
After the test, Li was satisfied.
By the evening of the second day, the Pacers were on the road against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks have been a great season, and they have settled into the first place in the East.
The beginning of the season runner ran into the Hawks and was beaten by the Hawks.
After the two teams played each other, the Pacers found their way back to the court, and the egalitarian team basketball of the Hawks was really good to watch when they met the Pacers' single-core superstar team.
Of course, in the East, the main opponent of Li Liang and the Pacers is still James.
Eagle? To be honest, Li Liang didn't take it too seriously.
This kind of team team can be strong in regular season encounters, and in the playoffs, it is likely to be limited to death.
Because there is no one strong point, every point is so-so, but every point cannot be a breakthrough point.
At half past seven in the evening, at the Phillips Center in Atlanta, the two sides began the game.
This season, the Eagles changed their home logo and adopted a retro profile eagle head.
However, at first glance, this LOGO looks like a big-mouthed monster in the Pache game.
The Hawks are still their starting five, with Horford, Carroll, Jeff Teague, Millsap plus Korver.
It's a very flexible roster that feels a lot like the Pacers' current roster.
McGee is still on the injury list, and Li Liang has been promoted to the center of the team as usual.
In the opening game, he continued to jump the ball without jumping, maintaining his style.
Unfortunately, everyone didn't eat him, and Horford tossed the ball to his teammates.
The Eagles' offense was unusually organized, opening with a few screens and passes, and Carroll looked for an opportunity in the bottom right corner to catch the ball and shoot a mid-range jumper to score the first point.
Budenholzer studied under Popovich and took the so-called team route of moving the ball quickly and sharing the ball on the offensive end.
There is a lot of emphasis on flank cover, and like Popovich, he likes to use zip-line tactics.
Relatively speaking, the Pacers slowly found their own offensive style after playing for half a season.
With Li Liang being promoted to the No. 4 position, occasionally playing at the No. 5 position, Bird asked Li Liang to come out more to provide cover for the outside players.
One of the advantages of the Pacers' lineup is that there are a lot of players who can attack with the ball.
Like some teams, a set of main lineups, just one or two points that can really attack with the ball.
The Pacers started five players, each of whom has the ability to attack independently, and there are Stephenson and CJ Myers on the bench.
Therefore, Bird is determined to use Li Liang's high-quality coverage and strong offensive pulling ability to amplify each player's independent offensive ability.
This tactical improvement of Bird can be said to be very in place.
In the last few games, Li Liang has less time to hold the ball, and the corresponding statistics of JR Smith, Granger and others are rising.
At the same time, Li Liang's scoring has not declined, he is more efficient and can focus more on interior defense.
It can be said that it is a tactical ball distribution that kills multiple birds with one stone, and Bird's tactical thinking is still very clear and unambiguous.
As for the transformation of the defense, before McGee returns, Li Liang can show his talent at the No. 5 position.
The Pacers' opening offense opted to let West take Millsap in the low post.
West also took advantage of his height, and after taking the baseline and turning, he threw a backward jumper under the interference of three Hawks players.
didn't hit, but Li Liang made up from the flank, and with a light touch under the basket, he made up the basket.
Li Liang once almost killed the Clippers with a slight touch, I don't know how many frontcourt rebounds he ordered, and he made up for the basket.
The Hawks didn't focus on Li Liang in the opening game, and they didn't know what kind of panacea was in Budenholzer's gourd.
Subsequently, Millsap made a mistake with a pass in attack.
He didn't know whether to pass to Horford or Korver, and finally made a pass between the two, only to have the ball go straight out of bounds.
"If you don't know who to pass it on, you pass it on to me, waste."
Li Liang's cheap mouth did not forget to "remind" Millsap.
Is it a mistake to pass on to you differently?
Then, the Pacers' point of attack was West, and this time he received the ball in the corner position, then turned to the basket and attacked.
The throw still didn't go in, and he didn't feel very good today.
But Li Liang clicked the rebound again, and after jumping in a row, he gave the point to Granger on the outside.
Li Liang came out again to cover Granger, cut outside, and Granger broke through the basket on the right side and made a layup.
If the Hawks want to say that there is something wrong with the lineup, it is that the interior is a little shorter, Horford and Millsap are undersized, and small forward Korver is not a player who can fight.
Korver's stunt is still his three-pointer.
He immediately caught the ball from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.
Korver's catch-and-shoot ability to shoot from three-point should be said to be among the best in the league.
Li Liang is not necessarily as strong as him, because Li Liang still relies more on space than speed.
In the subsequent offense, Li Liang blocked Sloan in a high position, and the Eagles chose to flank and press Sloane.
Sloan decisively distributed the ball to Li Liang in the high position, and Li Liang was empty in front of him......
Li Liang couldn't believe that there was nothing in front of me?
A pick-and-roll cut, and there is an open three-point opportunity.
Eagle, who do you look down on?
Think of me as a high round Hebbert?
Li Liang didn't immediately shoot when he received the ball, paused slightly, and waited for the defender.
Then he shot and hit a three-point shot.
After scoring the goal, Li Liang also glared at the Eagles bench and looked at Budenholzer, who was always full of sadness, as if asking him: What kind of defense did you arrange.
The Eagles' defensive strategy is actually to press the ball carrier, but the ball is obviously too rigid.
Li Liang blocked and dismantled the outside to cut to that position, and dared to wrap the ball carrier, isn't this a point away.
It can also be seen that team teams sometimes inevitably fall into rigidity in order to maintain their operations.
The Hawks realized the mistake, and their offense was thwarted, missing shots, grabbing frontcourt rebounds, and still missing.
The Pacers' defense is pretty solid, and the Pacers stick to one-on-one defense regardless of how quickly the Hawks move the ball from the outside.
The flaw that the Hawks offense did not have an absolute strong point was exposed, and the Pacers were man-to-man.
In the end, Korver was given the ball to single Granger, and the result was dribbling out of bounds......
Then, Li Liang gave the ball to JR-Smith on the bottom line in the middle, and Smith received the ball and hit a three-point shot.
The Pacers' second three-pointer.
After entering 15 years, Smith's form is getting better and better, and his three-point shooting percentage has been rising.
And his offensive ability with the ball has also been shown, and along with Granger, he has become an important offensive point on the outside of the Pacers.
The Eagles' offensive style is too much like the Spurs, constantly shifting, covering, breaking, and transferring, very fluid.
But there was no way to break through the Pacers' defenses.
Carroll held the ball into the three-second zone and was intercepted by Li Liang's hard steal.
The Pacers counterattacked, passed the ball to Granger, and Granger gave it to Smith, who went straight to the basket and dunked!
Granger and Smith have a bit of an outside duo.
Not only is Granger back to most of his form, but the key is to regain confidence.
He is currently averaging 16.7 points per game, and Smith is averaging 15.3 points per game.
The combined scores of the two are equivalent to one Li Liang.
The Pacers opened the game to the Hawks 12-5, and Budenholzer called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Eagles improved their offense.
The first is to reduce the number of passes and attack more with small combinations.
Because in the face of man-to-man defense, you don't have much effect on passing around.
If you have a little chance, you can just throw it, otherwise it's a waste of time and rhythm.
So as soon as he came back, Horford came out to catch the ball, Carroll blocked Korver, Korver cut inside after covering, Carroll stepped outside the three-point line, Horford passed the ball to Carroll, and Carroll directly received the ball and hit a three-point shot.
A very beautiful zipper tactical fit, simple and efficient, quenching the thirst of the Eagles' offense.
The Pacers, for their part, still insisted on giving West a low post to play Millsap.
This makes it difficult for the Eagles.
The real killing point of the walkers is Li Liang, but this guy has been hiding.
Li Liang's attack range is too wide, if you flank and divide the ball into Li Liang's hands, he can attack at any time.
Horford hesitated, but still didn't go to the clip, and this time West hit a jumper with a solid back.
Then, Carroll broke through the basket with the ball, but was assisted by Li Liang and missed the shot.
Li Liang is playing more and more easily in the center position.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Pacers were 21-10 ahead of the Hawks by 11 points.
The first time I met a walker in the East, I was like this bird?
And Li Liang only had one thing in his mind, "Wait a little more to open up the difference, I'm going to steal a skill to play." ”
