Chapter 272: The Consequences of Fooling Around

Kobe's worries were of course in vain, and Li Liang just used [Kodinger's box] to force his basket to 87 points.

At the same time, the shooting value of 73 points is lucky that there is no change, and no matter how the rest changes, it doesn't matter.

In the first quarter, Li Liang scored 6 points on 3-of-4 shooting, and all 3 balls were mid-range strong shots in the face of Kirilenko.

This kind of play is really something I have never seen before.

Mike Brown didn't dare to ask anymore and didn't dare to think about it.

Did he ask Li Liang to practice?

Whatever!

Anyway, if you put Li Liang on the court, he will always have a surprise.

After taking the lead in the first quarter, the two sides entered a plateau on the court.

The so-called stable period means that everyone comes and goes casually for offense and defense.

The Lakers don't win, and it doesn't matter if the Timberwolves lose, they are out of the playoffs anyway.

If the record is a little worse, you can still fight for a good pick in the summer, although it is useless.

The 2013 draft was said to be a small year, with nothing particularly noteworthy for supernovas.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of the bottom teams is not very high, and they don't want to win or they don't particularly want to lose, so they are just messed up.

This kind of competition is the most suitable for Li Liang to play with his new skills.

After all, the ability to adjust the data of the system is not as natural as it is practiced by itself.

As soon as I made a move, I always felt that I was blind, and in the end, I was blind.

I don't have that feeling of knowing that I can score the ball as soon as I make a shot.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves didn't do any targeted defense, so they let Kirilenko defend normally.

In the second quarter, Li Liang hit three more mid-range basket jumpers.

His sudden mid-range shot caught the Timberwolves off guard.

The point difference slowly widened to more than 10 points, and the Lakers played more and more on the field.

If the tactics can't be opened, try to hand over the ball to Li Liang in the horn position.

In fact, everyone is quite accustomed to playing like this, and Kobe Bryant used to be like this.

It's just that Kobe Bryant's way of handling the ball is more diverse and rich, low post, arc top, and wing.

But Kobe Bryant's favorite is still the horn position, and when he feels it, he stands here.

When you get the ball, it doesn't matter who defends it, you can shoot it when you adjust it, and you can shoot it.

What defensive strategy, what defensive position, what defensive intensity, all useless.

It's called a "break-up" offense, where all your defensive efforts become ornaments.

After Li Liang hit several strong shots, he personally experienced the power of this kind of attack.

The Timberwolves are slowly getting a little overwhelmed, and it's time to think about 20 shots.

Surrender and lose half, and don't throw yourself to the death.

In previous years, the Lakers had won 21 straight games against the Timberwolves and had not lost to the Wolves in years.

Psychologically, the Lakers are in a huge advantage.

Of course, Adelman will not directly replace the main team, but the players are not so desperate on the field.

After all, at the end of the season, it has been determined that he will not be able to enter the playoffs, and if he desperately hurts his body, it will be a great loss.

The Lakers played well, not only Li Liang alone, Howard also played at the level of the first center tonight.

Against Pekovic, Howard has an all-round advantage in terms of physical fitness.

He sent a pegboard hat on the inside, covering Barria, Battinger and others in a daze.

The two sides have maintained a score difference of about 10 points.

The Lakers maintained a good defense and basically did not give the Timberwolves a chance to set off a counterattack climax.

The previous turn-based game against the Wizards was too hurtful, and in order to avoid that, Mike Brown readjusted his defense.

The defensive requirements for chasing three points and quick counterattacks have become higher, and Li Liang has to chase the opponent's counterattack promoter at the first time.

Li Liang basically gave up the scramble for rebounds in the front court and retreated as soon as possible.

Also, Jamison's playing time has been compressed, increasing O'Neal Jr.'s playing time.

The height of the inside line has been increased, making the inside basket protection and defense more stable.

In the second half, the Timberwolves launched a powerful comeback in the third quarter.

Adelman is very good at teaching his aptitude on the offensive end, and when he plays under him, players are generally more comfortable playing.

On the offensive end, he can play to his strengths.

Rubio, a player, known as the "Spanish Golden Boy", looks and has a very similar appearance and temperament to the former pistol Maravich.

It's a pity that he just looks like a pistol, and the most powerful shot of the pistol, Rubio doesn't look like it at all.

Shooting is Rubio's biggest shortcoming, he does a good job of organization and defense, but the shooting is not accurate.

The weakness of the Lakers was originally the defense of the point guard, like playing the Wizards, and the Lakers were about to be killed by Wall.

Rubio can't do it, and the Lakers often let him go and he doesn't dare to shoot.

But in the third quarter, Rubio suddenly found some offensive touch, hitting two three-pointers from the outside.

He also provided two assists, assisting Pekovic on a layup and Kirilyenko on a jumper.

The difference was narrowed all at once.

When it comes to the use of Rubio, Adelman still has a lot of experience.

He didn't let Rubio carry the ball and possess the ball a lot, but instead let Rubio play more without the ball and play cover.

Instead of Rubio being the first offensive initiator, he will be a tactical pivot point.

This covers up Rubio's huge flaws in projection, so that the team does not have to play four or five offense as soon as Rubio gets the ball.

But the Timberwolves' problem isn't offense, it's defense.

At this time, they began to carry out a simple treatment of Li Liang's point - bag clip

But it's useless to just wrap the bag, because Li Liang can pass the ball!

He simply hit the inside plug at the top of the arc, and hit the inside plug with a pack of clips.

One pass Meeks tossed and the other went to O'Neal Jr. for a layup.

Please, people would have responded with an arc and passed the ball to the ground with a half.

How useful can this simple double bag clip be?

This defensive method of wrapping and clamping will be better against players who can't pass the ball and have a better effect.

A tall player like Li Liang who can pass the ball is not good at wrapping up.

Do you think there is any team that will easily wrap up James?

James's vision and strong ability to shoot the ball would rather let him shoot in two steps than let him pass.

If you want to wrap the clip, you have to wrap Kobe Bryant!

He didn't pass it on anyway.

Of course, this season's Kobe Bryant has become a triple-double little prince, and he is no longer the same Kobe in the past.

The climax of the Timberwolves' counterattack was defused by the Lakers' smooth offense.

At this time, Li Liang had already scored 15 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds efficiently.

If there is any difference with Kobe, it is that his ability to break through and make fouls is far behind.

Such accurate free throws, generally three or four free throws per game, or even no free throws.

In terms of the ability to make damage, he is still far from those real old stars.

The Lakers played a super efficient offense in the third quarter, and although the Timberwolves scored 33 points in a single quarter, the Lakers scored a staggering 40 points.

The difference between the two sides was widened in one fell swoop.

After stabilizing the chrysanthemum in the third quarter, the two sides slowly ran out of time in the fourth quarter.

But Adelman did not give up as the head coach, after all, he is a famous coach, how can he surrender casually?

So, in desperation, Adelman chose the tactic of chopping Huo!

He replaced the bench and began fouling Howard, sending him to the free-throw line to create more offensive opportunities for the Timberwolves.

And this tactic really worked.

Howard lost all of his first four free throws, giving the Timberwolves two chances to counter.

The Timberwolves got hold of it all and hit back-to-back shots.

Then, the Timberwolves continued to cut Huo, and Howard made two of four free throws.

In three minutes, the Lakers scored two points.

This gave the Timberwolves a little bit of hope.

However, at this time, Li Liang stepped up, he first stole Rubio's pass to Pekovic, and then launched a quick counterattack.

Don't give the Timberwolves a chance to cut Howard and score two points.

Then, the Timberwolves missed a three-point shot from the outside and continued to cut Huo.

Howard hit the first free throw and missed the second free throw, but Li Liang grabbed the key frontcourt rebound and made a layup.

Originally, the Lakers only scored 1 point, but now they scored 3 points, and the Timberwolves are really a loss.

This frontcourt rebound and goal completely crushed the Timberwolves' hopes of chasing points.

Seeing that the tide was turned, Adelman gave up his resistance.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves by 9 points 118-109 on the road.

Achieved a 22-game winning streak against the Timberwolves, an embarrassing record for the Timberwolves, and I don't know when it will be broken.

After beating the wolves, the Lakers went to Milwaukee to hunt deer.

It's just that wolves are easy to fight, but deer are not easy to hunt.

In this game, Li Liang's mid-distance strong shooting skills in the basket that suddenly appeared disappeared all of a sudden!

Why? Playing with [Roddinger's Chest] is out of play.

I went back and cleaned myself up, and the result was that the shooting became 58, the open three-pointers, and the strong three-pointers became 5, and all the shots related to the shooting were 5!

The highest value is added to [Offensive Rebounding], but offensive rebounding depends on fate.

It's not that if the value is high, you will definitely be able to grab it, it is also related to physical fitness, card position ability and other aspects.

Besides, Kobe Bryant didn't play, how can you have so many rebounds?

Li Liang, who lost his shooting ability this time, was completely blind.

The ability to make layups and dunks has gone up, but the free throws are average.

In the past, it was not stable, and playing the Bucks was 2 of 4 free throws.

He grabbed five rebounds in the frontcourt, but it didn't make a game-changer.

As a result, the Lakers lost 101-108 on the road to the Bucks.

This is really often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, always play a few blindly, and something will definitely happen.

After this fight, Li Liang didn't dare to play [Kodinger's Box] anymore, or wait for the value to be higher in the future, and then make good use of this prop.

After playing the Bucks, the Lakers returned to California on the last road trip to play the Sacramento Kings.

Li Liang, who returned to normal, played his old classmate Cousins in this game.

The three points after seducing the defense on the outside, making fouls on the inside, and digging the ball on the defensive end made Cousins play very unhappily.

Cousins' unhappy result was to request two technical fouls from the referee and send himself back to the locker room to shower.

This season, Cousins has already received three technical fouls for Li Liang.

This is the so-called alumni, the so-called classmates.

After playing this game, the Lakers, who returned to Los Angeles, finally ushered in the return of Kobe.

At this time, their record is 57-17, and they are still in first place in the West.

This result is beyond the expectations of the management, why is there no Kobe, and the combat effectiveness is still so strong?

Now, the Lakers have their final eight games left, and the playoffs are about to begin.

And Li Liang is still thinking, how should Maddie in the mission be done?
