The regular season is no longer very attractive for Li Qiang. Since there is no difficulty in scoring for him, Li Qiang decided to change his playing style in the next period of time.

In the next game, Li Qiang changed his mission. His goal is no longer to score and help the players attract joint defense and create leaks, but to be a team leader and even a team coach.

First of all, Li Qiang took on more responsibilities as a point guard, and since the three-minute epiphany that day, Li Qiang silently had a new goal in his heart, to be the greatest point guard in history. Li Qiang no longer scores by himself, but leads the whole team to score; Li Qiang no longer scores as smoothly as a cloud, but leads the whole team to score like cutting melons and vegetables.

As for the greatest score in history, after the game against the Thunder with 105 points and 51 points in a single quarter, Li Qiang has successfully won that title in the hearts of everyone.

Second, Li Qiang also began to work with his coach to focus on cultivating the ability of his teammates to score alone. After deciding to reduce his playing time, Li Qiang decided to focus his extra energy on developing other players. After a long talk with the head coach, Li Qiang was officially named the assistant coach of the team.

Li Qiang's playing time has dropped from almost full to more than 20 minutes per game. In addition to the sad injured Lefou, Gasol, Pores and Brac are all independent existences with All-Star level strength. They can start directly when they run to a bad team, and they stay for the championship. They are the pieces of the puzzle that make up the championship.

Polles and Braque, in particular, are still young, they still have potential, and they have the hope of becoming some of the best superstars in the entire league in a few years. Whether it's from the perspective of teammates, assistant coaches, or good friends, Li Qiang doesn't want their talents to be overwhelmed by himself.

As for Gasol, although his playing style is somewhat weak and is nicknamed "sister-in-law" by the Chinese, he is still very qualified to be Li Qiang's younger brother and the future Poles Bulak's younger brother by virtue of his skillful offensive skills and the elegance of European basketball.

In addition, Li Qiang also asked everyone to cultivate the team's joint defense spirit. As the saying goes, "offense wins the first place, defense wins the championship." "An aggressive team can win a lot, and only a team with good defense can win a championship.

。。。。。。

It was a bright morning, and the air was slightly cold. Sunlight shines through the tall transparent glass windows into the basketball arena. The slightly floating dust in the air is very clear in the sunlight at the moment.

"Polles and Gasol, come here. Let me show you what to do in this situation. ”

Hakeem Olajuwon's hoarse old black man's voice was echoing in the arena at the moment. In order to invite him to come over to teach, the club gave him a high salary of 100,000 yuan a week!

Although Li Qiang's basketball talent is amazing after practicing the Yi Jin Jing, his interior skills are still a little rough, and he is not comparable to a veteran like Da Meng, who has been fighting for more than ten years. At this time, Li Qiang also stayed aside and watched with interest.

Olajuwon and Gasol stood one step inside the free throw line, and Big Dream used shoulder feints and a few small steps in succession, his elbow quietly jammed Gasol, and suddenly he turned around Gasol and floated into the three-second zone.

"Awesome!" Li Qiang was impressed in his heart and couldn't help but scream.

"Come on, Li Qiang, you can also try this action."

"Good!" Li Qiang is also full of respect for this NBA predecessor, and he does not have any neglect because of his status as the first person in the NBA.

Li Qiang stepped forward, held the ball with his back to Gasol, and thought in his heart about combining the shoulder feints, arm feints and footsteps he had just learned. Gasol also stretched his arms out to the maximum angle to defend as much as possible.

Suddenly, Li Qiang clung up, and his right shoulder seemed to break through to the right, but his left elbow was quietly stuck at the moment. Relying on his amazing physical fitness, he turned 180 degrees in the air and jumped to the height of the flat frame of his shoulders, a heavy buckle!

"Good!" Da Meng gave a thumbs up, "Although the movements just now were still very rough, I couldn't do you so quickly when I was at my peak!" ”

"Li Qiang, it's time to come back! Let's continue to practice passing and catching the ball! "Glove Gary. Peyton's voice came. As soon as Li Qiang turned around, he was greeted by a pair of huge rubber gloves.

"Why didn't you practice the kung fu of listening to the wind discernment!" This was Li Qiang's last thought before his eyes went dark.

。。。

After more than 30 games, the regular season came to an end. And Li Qiang's goal seems to have almost been achieved. In these games, Li Qiang played only 24 minutes per game, scored only 18 points, and had 12 assists.

Correspondingly, Gasol, who is about to age, also averaged 16 points and 9 rebounds per game, Polles averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game with an amazing double-double, and Braque also averaged 27 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game. The F4 combination can score a terrifying 83 points per game on average!

During this period, the Timberwolves won and lost, and Li Qiang didn't particularly care. In the end, the Minnesota Timberwolves advanced to the playoffs with a 70-12 record and the first place in the West.

Behind the decline in Li Qiang's data, it is Li Qiang's letting go of the ball!

In the past, the Timberwolves could be said to be Li Qiang alone in supporting the overall situation, but now the Timberwolves, whether it is the main F4 or the bench lineup, can fight!

It can be said that Li Qiang's letting go in the last 30 games has improved the overall strength of the Timberwolves! If the previous Timberwolves players felt that it was no problem to rely on Li Qiang to win the championship, then the current Timberwolves are very confident in relying on themselves!

Li Qiang's letting go of the ball has proved to be very helpful to the team. And Li Qiang's offensive efficiency has also become higher! Because Li Qiang's firepower no longer has so much output, and the opposing team no longer implements a full-court tight joint defense against Li Qiang, Li Qiang plays more easily, and Li Qiang's shooting rate has been terrifyingly improved!

Because of the reduction in the number of shots, Li Qiang's three-point shooting rate reached an astonishing 61% in the last 30 games! Almost every vote is a must-hit! The average hit rate of all Li Qiang's balls has reached 64%!

By reducing the number of shots, Li Qiang avoided the opponent's joint defense, thus brushing his three-point shooting rate to a height that no one has ever made before!

However, there are also many media outlets that have raised different opinions on this, so take a look at the following headline:

"Average points per game: 48 to 18, how long can the myth of Li Qiang last?" 》

"After the Timberwolves introduced F4, the winning streak myth ended"

Of course, Li Qiang's supporters still account for the majority:

61% - Three-point Shooting Rate

Timberwolves F4 - The Myth Continues

"The strongest invincible combination in the history of the league has finally appeared"
