Nonsense, of course it can be done, otherwise the tasks in the system are done for nothing?

But Li Liang has to think about it, turn his brain around, and first think about how to give more help to the interior from the defensive end, while not giving too many loopholes to the outside.

Of course, you still have to ask Mike Brown for this kind of question, after all, he is the head coach.

At the start of the second half, Li Liang sat on the bench, next to Mike Brown.

Brown is a big man, this game is really fierce, and the spirit is highly concentrated.

Li Liang took the time to ask Brown if he could go to the inside line and help Howard and Gasol.

Mike Brown also thought about this problem and asked Li Liang to play power forward, which he tried in the previous game, and the effect was okay, when he played against the Clippers.

But if it really fights like this, there will be changes in the rotation and deployment of personnel, and it may really be like what Li Liang said, putting Gasol on the bench.

And then there's Jamison, Brown is not very satisfied with his defensive performance, if Li Liang goes to play the No. 4 position, the No. 3 position to Jamison?

The beginning of the season was originally the stage of experimenting with the lineup, and the coach had to try all kinds of lineup combinations.

Mike Brown thought about it and vetoed the idea of letting Li Liang replace Gasol to play the No. 4 position, Li Liang's rebounding position and basket protection ability are still not enough, and occasionally playing the No. 4 position, mainly on the offensive end, can play a surprise role.

Letting him fight all the time is a waste and waste for him.

Brown's judgment is still accurate, Li Liang can't play the No. 4 position for a long time, so he can only temporarily hold it for a while.

Especially tonight, the Jazz inside line Jefferson, Millsap, Kanter, Favors, and even the Warcraft are being served enough.

He went in to play, but his basic interior defensive ability was not practiced at home, and his defensive rebounds were only barely 40 points, which would definitely be consumed.

As a result, it will also lead to a decline in the offensive end and a lack of physical strength to hit three-pointers.

Now Li Liang is the Lakers' player with the highest three-point shooting percentage, Blake, who was originally accurate in three-point shooting, shot 0 of 3 from three-point tonight, and Brown abandoned him in the second half and replaced him with Morris.

After the start of the second half, the Lakers launched a ferocious counterattack, and the first thing they did was to strengthen their defense.

The Jazz are not a team with strong individual ability, they need to move the ball, they need to rush up.

And the Lakers increased their intensity, and Ci Shiping and Kobe Bryant began to break the ball, successfully destroying the Jazz's opening offense.

The Lakers pushed back and Morris took the ball and rushed to the basket, causing a foul on Jefferson.

Morris hit both free throws, and the Lakers came close.

Then, the Lakers defended again successfully, and Hayward missed an outside jumper.

The Lakers put on a serious defensive posture, and the Jazz found that they couldn't get in.

It was a good opportunity for the Lakers to get up, but Kobe Bryant didn't rush with the ball, but pressed the rhythm.

Li Liang is in a hurry, Nima rushes with the ball! What rhythm you press, Kobe Bryant, you know how to pretend!

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant pressed the rhythm and let Gasol play low.

As a result, Gasol didn't catch the ball well, and the ball was touched out of the baseline, Jazz ball.

The Jazz immediately sent the sideline ball quickly, and Millsap knew that he couldn't fall into the position and fight with the Lakers, regardless of 3721, he would rush inside when he took the ball.

Gasol's slow return didn't keep up, causing Millsap to rush to the basket and a layup that drew a foul on Howard.

At the start of the second half, Howard had three fouls.

Millsap hit both free throws, and the Lakers' wave of momentum was suppressed.

Brown shook his head, Gasol is 32 years old this year, and his defense is often criticized for being "soft".

In the past two years, because of the toss of trade rumors, coupled with the growing age, the defense is getting worse and worse.

However, Gasol is still trustworthy on the offensive end, but he didn't play really well tonight.

After playing for three minutes, the Lakers were never able to get up, and the difference remained at 5 or 6 points.

This is not a good phenomenon, in the past, the Lakers have always been good at using their strength in the third quarter, pressing the opponent down, and grinding the opponent with efficient positional offense.

Mike Brown whispered a few words with assistant coaches Eddie Jordan and Chuck Payson, and the three of them discussed it.

Brown exchanged ideas with them, and after getting approval, Brown decided to make a substitution.

He replaced Morris with Leung, and although his defense was a little better than Blake's, his offense was worse and the Lakers needed to attack.

Then, Gasol was replaced with Jordan Hill.

Hill was okay today, and he was very aggressive on the inside.

It's just that he really doesn't have any offensive talent, and as soon as the defense is up to strength, it's completely dumb.

Jamison replaced Ci Shiping with Jamison to increase the team's firepower.

In this rotation, the Lakers' lineup on the court is a little faster and more flexible, Jamison has more offensive means than Ci Shiping, and Jordan Hill has more defensive toughness.

But what about offense? Without Gasol, would it all depend on Kobe?

Jamison is a forward who can only attack on his own, and he is very old, and Brown has always had problems using him.

Because Mike Brown has a hard time tolerating a player like Jamison on the wing, which is already very weak.

So, Brown didn't think about offense at all, he thought about defense.

Let Li Liang and Jamison play together, so that Li Liang can help Jamison defensively.

As for offense, leave it to Kobe Bryant and Jamison and Howard!

What Princeton, forget it, I don't know much about this thing, or I'm best suited for defense.

In a moment of crisis, a person will always use what he relies on most to survive, and for Mike Brown it is defense.

In fact, now the Lakers need to attack more now, but he is not well adjusted, and if he changes someone on the spot, the offense can be smooth?

Brown really doesn't believe it, even Popovich doesn't have the ability to do this, he just "give the ball to Duncan!" ”

After the substitution, the Lakers re-entered the game, and Li Liang appeared earlier than usual.

He and Jamison appear together relatively rarely, they are in a competitive relationship, and Jamison has been a bit unable to compete with Li Liang recently.

Kobe Bryant controlled the ball past half court, and Li Liang came up to cover Kobe.

The Jazz's defense is tight, and the Lakers' space is completely unopen.

Howard doesn't have the ability to shoot, Jordan Hill's mid-range isn't worth mentioning, and Jamison's three-point is unreliable.

So the Jazz completely shrunk inside, waiting for Kobe to drill the bag to hit three, one dozen four.

But Kobe Bryant didn't, he made eye contact with Li Liang, Li Liang understood with his conscience, and after completing a cover with Kobe Bryant in the high position, he cut directly outward.

Bryant took a step inside and reached near the free throw line, attracting the attention of the three defenders and passing the ball back to Li Liang on the outside.

Li Liang didn't take the ball and didn't make a shot, this is a tactical routine that the team has practiced during training.

Generally, Gasol covers Kobe Bryant in this position, and after Gasol receives the return pass, the wing cuts into the three-second zone through the cover roll, Gasol responds to the pass, catches the ball on the flank and makes a jumper, or catches the ball to break through, or catches the ball inside.

The ball took advantage of Bryant's ability to attract and contain the defense after breaking into the three-point line, creating offensive opportunities for the wing attackers.

If the flank is Ci Shiping, this ball can't be played, because Ci Shiping can't C&S.

It's different with Jamison, Jamison is also an old ball, and he understands this tactic at once.

Curl cut from the flanks with the help of Howard's cover? Cut) into the three-second zone, and the Jazz have been taken away by Kobe Bryant in the middle to defend.

Li Liang immediately hit the ground and passed to Jamison, who was already in the best attacking position!

Because Howard went down, if the Jazz made a substitution after the cover, Jamison made a Messy pass and Howard dunked.

Without substitutions, Jamison received the ball and threw it directly.

The Jazz chose not to make a substitution, Marvin Williams didn't keep up, and Jamison turned around and hit a jumper!

It's finally a tactic, it's not easy!

Li Liang's pass was not bad, but he was not confident in his direct pass and chose to hit the ground.

After the goal, Jamison and Li Liang high-fived, which was a good match.

After coming to the Lakers, Jamison didn't play well in the first four games because Mike Brown didn't use him very well.

Always let him defend, to assist the inside, to get rebounds.

Five or six years younger, Jamison is a decent rebounder, but now it's really not good.

He can only focus his energy on the offensive end, and the defense can keep an eye on the person who is in his position.

But with Li Liang here, the situation is different, and Marvin Williams wants to catch the ball in the horn position again.

He succeeded many times today, but Li Liang's supplementary defense came up.

He came over and interfered and immediately stepped away, ruining Marvin's shooting rhythm.

Marvin could only pass the ball, Foye missed the shot from the outside, the offense failed, Howard got the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers counterattacked.

Now, the Jazz have a problem to face on the defensive end, who will play against Li Liang?

The Lakers are now playing point guard, but they can't let Williams defend against Kobe, they can only let Hayward play against Kobe.

Marvin wants to fight Jamison, not to mention the inside, let Millsap defend Li Liang? What about Jordan Hill? Hill couldn't attack on his own today, but he had already grabbed several rebounds in the front court and couldn't put them down.

In a short period of time, the Jazz did not make adjustments, and it really made Williams defend Li Liang.

As a result, Li Liang had no pressure on the outside at all, and he was happy to be an organizer.

Just like Debusschel, he unselfishly moves the ball on the offensive end and tries to fill in the holes on the defensive end.

He also has a long-range shot to contain the Jazz's defense.

After the forward line was replaced by Jordan Hill, the Lakers' interior defense was a little more stable, and Li Liang just focused on taking care of Jamison.

Another beautiful ground-hitting pass from the high post to Kobe Bryant, who used Jordan Hill's cover to catch the ball and wipe it into the interior and make a layup with his left hand.

After scoring the goal, Kobe Bryant pointed at Li Liang and signaled that he passed well.

After several successive strikes, the tide began to turn.

The Lakers kept chasing points in the third quarter, and the offense of this lineup was unexpectedly smooth.

Brown was stunned, good boy, Bruce Lee really knows how to organize? I thought he was going to pass two balls.

Although his passing is a bit monotonous, he will hit the ground with one hit, but the pass is very decisive and does not hesitate at all.

Brown originally thought that Li Liang would defend well on the court, shoot three-pointers on the offensive end, occasionally come to two ground passes, and then rely on Kobe Bryant and Howard to chisel hard.

Who knows, in the fifth scene, Li Liang really has organizational skills.

This is not the same as playing the Clippers and Trail Blazers before, and the defensive intensity of the Jazz is not the same.

Li Liang was able to use passing and transferring the ball to help the team attack in a few games in a row, which is enough to show that it was not luck before, and he really has the ability to organize the attack.

Especially the one that was just passed to Kobe Bryant, through the defense line composed of three defenders, and directly handed over to Kobe, which is wonderful!

This ball is estimated to be selected as one of the top five balls in this official selection, and I don't know what idioms will be used to match it in China.

The Lakers' offense, which was originally fragmented by the Jazz's tough defense, was slowly pieced together.

The point difference is getting closer and closer, and by the end of the third quarter, the Lakers have overtaken the score!

At 71:67, the Lakers outscored by 4 points, and they only allowed the Jazz to score 20 points in the third quarter.

Li Liang sent 3 assists, which doesn't seem like much, but the transfer of the ball several times is beautiful, and it is not the pass that forms the assist that is a good pass.

During the break between the third and fourth quarters, Kobe Bryant took a sip of water, leaned over and said to Li Liang: "It's a good boy, but don't forget the 20-point boy." ”

Li Liang was stunned for a moment and said, "There's nothing to care about, just win." ”

Kobe Bryant smiled, thinking that this kid is not bad, knowing that winning comes first, not bad.

Li Liang thought, it, I forgot! The passing organization had so much fun! Two points in the second half!

Or when I fought back, I stole the chicken.

So far, Li Liang has only scored 10 points, he thought about it, no, Lao Tzu is going to harvest.
