Chapter 47: New Tactics

The breeze blows gently, and the spring sun is always so warm. At this time, the sun is not as blazing as summer or as cold as winter, but the sun is the most gratifying.

"It's a nice day." Li Cheng got out of Granger's car, stood at the door of the training hall, and sighed.

Granger walked over from behind, patted Li Cheng on the shoulder, and said, "Don't sigh about the weather here, you can't go out to play in such weather, it's a waste." ”

"It's nice to be able to go to the countryside to play this day!" Li Cheng sighed again.

"Alright! Let's go! Granger urged.

Li Cheng shook his head and followed Granger into the training hall.

As professionals, they get a lot and they give up a lot. Sometimes, even getting a good night's sleep is a very luxurious thing.

After the warm-up, Li Cheng couldn't wait to shoot a few step-back jumpers with the ball, he felt very good, and the ball was also very face-saving and all hollow into the net.

"Your step-back jumper looks better today than before!" Granger quickly spotted some of the nuances between Li Cheng's jumper and his previous jumper.

Li Cheng smiled: "This is my favorite offensive move, what do you think?" Is there anything much like Kobe? ”

"You know Kobe, wait until you reach his heights!" Granger said.

Li Cheng said with some regret: "It's a pity that we have played against the Los Angeles Lakers twice this season, and I don't have a chance to play against him again." As he spoke, he turned the wristband on his left hand again.

The wristband he had been on his hand since junior high school, and the Los Angeles Lakers logo on it had been worn off, and now it was just a bare purple wristband.

Granger dribbled the ball and walked to Li Cheng's side and said, "Who made you not give you a chance before, you will have a chance in the future!" ”

Li Cheng nodded, and continued: "Let's play a few singles and let you see my progress." ”

Granger grinned, "Just your dribble?" Still go head-to-head with me, when will you have a good result with me? ”

"What nonsense, you'll find out if you try." Li Cheng said.

"Okay, since you ask for abuse, I will satisfy you." Granger smiled and threw the ball to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng passed the ball to Granger again, and Granger casually threw the ball back to Li Cheng, and he immediately lowered his center of gravity and took a defensive posture.

Li Cheng carefully dribbled the ball close to Granger, and as soon as he got close to Granger's defensive range, he turned around and pointed his butt at Granger to prevent his own ball from being broken.

Little by little, he pushed into the three-point line, and when he came to the left side of the free throw line, he turned around twice, then quickly turned to the right, jumped up with his body back, and threw the ball with his hand to the rhythm of his body.

"Huh!" The basketball didn't rub the hoop at all, and it was hollow into the net.

"Come again!" Granger ran to the basket and picked up the basketball and threw the ball to Li Cheng.

This time, when Granger was defending, he kept putting pressure on Li Cheng, and his body kept pressing on Li Cheng's body, just to make Li Cheng unable to jump easily. But this time, Li Cheng just turned around with his left foot, leaned back, and then completed the shot.

"Golden Rooster Independence" backward jumper! Once again, the basketball got into the basket.

Next, Granger simply didn't give Li Cheng a chance to face him with his ass. Directly pounced on it and began to interfere with his dribble, and at the same time, his body stuck the position to prevent Li Cheng from breaking through.

Granger knew about Li Cheng's scum dribbling and his breakthrough that he couldn't even see.

Basketball is indeed a sport that requires talent, and Li Cheng has always had a good feeling for shooting, especially mid-range shots, which have always been accurate. But his dribbling and breakthrough have been practicing, but he has never been able to take his shots.

This time, Granger's defense was very targeted and very well placed. In the end, Li Cheng couldn't dribble the ball safely into his own range, and Granger leaned over, then slammed forward, breaking Li Cheng's ball.

"What are you talking about, you scumbag? If you want me to say, you should hurry up and practice your dribbling, otherwise it will be too easy to target. Granger teased.

Li Cheng pursed his lips and said, "You let me play the ball inside the three-point line?" ”

"I'm not sick." Granger said: "I don't even know how you practiced that jump shot, it's amazing, I can't prevent it at all!" ”

Then Granger hit Li Cheng several times in a row, and Li Cheng couldn't stop Granger at all in a one-on-one situation. Granger threw the ball away with interest and said, "It's really boring to go head-to-head with you, you have obvious advantages and shortcomings." ”

Li Cheng shook his head helplessly, and then they didn't train anymore, and it would be time for the team to train after a while. Murphy and Daniels have both arrived, and they are warming up on the sidelines.

In today's training, O'Brien decided to let everyone practice some new tactics, and the core of these tactics turned out to be Li Cheng. This is something Li Cheng never expected.

Li Cheng is a point that the opponent will not dare to let go of no matter what, and he can contain the defensive force on the outside very well. And his running on the field can also drive the opponent's defense, and the five people on the field are not machines, as long as people move, there will definitely be gaps. O'Brien's tactics were to take advantage of these gaps.

A player like Li Cheng needs to be fed the ball by his teammates, and his vision and awareness are enough for him to pass the ball out again. In this way, he can form a combination with Granger and Tinsley, and even Murphy and Foster on the inside.

In Foster's design, Li Cheng suddenly became the one who rallied the whole team.

As long as Li Cheng was running, he created a gap. The Pacers would have a lot of options, give him the ball to shoot, or let Lee redistribute the ball.

However, at this time, the team can also make another choice. Don't pass the ball to Li Cheng, and Granger will directly hold the ball and play alone. Because Li Cheng has attracted the defense, Granger will have a lot less pressure to play alone.

With Granger single-handed, the Pacers' tactics go back to the old pattern.

Li Cheng's saving zĂ i only gives the Pacers a few more changes in their tactics, but it is these changes that can increase the Pacers' attack power by another level.

The Pacers practiced this new tactical option all morning.

O'Brien stood on the sidelines and watched, and he was still satisfied with the results.

In fact, this tactic is just a few variations of the team's original tactics, and it is relatively easy for the players to accept.

And after the team's training ended, O'Brien left Li Cheng and Granger alone. He also designed some other small combinations for Li Cheng and Granger.

According to Mark Boyce, these two men will form Indiana's invincible forward line for the future. It's impossible for O'Brien not to see the potential of Li Cheng and Granger, and from these two people he can see the future of the team, and O'Brien has no reason not to polish these two people carefully.

PS: It's finally done, there are two more chapters today, see you in the evening!
