Chapter 274: A Powerful Inside Combo
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no competition in the past few days, Li Cheng devoted all his time to training low-post techniques.
Low-post singles is not a skill that can be mastered quickly, but for Li Cheng, he has improved a lot in the past few days.
Stegan, on the other hand, has targeted training for everyone else, and his training is designed to make these players the players the team needs.
What Ibaka needs to strengthen now is his playmaking ability and his toughness on the defensive end.
Stegan, on the other hand, is developing Hibbert as a traditional center, allowing him to strengthen his dominance under the basket. Hibbert is very talented, he may not be a super talent, but he can definitely be an All-Star center in the last days of this center.
In Stephen's opinion, all Lopez has to do is do some hard work. Defense, rebounding, as long as he can hold the ball steady in offense and put the ball in the basket when no one is defending, or when there is a lot of gap.
For Rush, Stegan knows that he still has a dark shadow about his past injuries, so Stegan's positioning of Rush is a pitcher for the time being, and can provide strong support to the team on the defensive end. Rush is by Li Cheng's side, and he doesn't have to worry about being a pitcher without a good teacher.
Chammos is positioned as an outside defender with some three-point shooting ability.
Stegan has targeted training for almost all of the Pacers' players, but veteran players like those who have been finalized don't do too much arrangement. Only Lee and the Pacers' rookies enjoyed a custom-made training program.
During these three days, the Pacers players did not have an easy time when the schedule was intensive. But fortunately, they are all young, and their bodies are still able to eat.
Next, on November 6, the Pacers will face the Phoenix Suns at home.
The Suns are seventh in the West so far this season, and the team that once dominated the league has a bit of a downward spiral.
However, this game will not be easy for the Pacers, as the Suns have one of the most luxurious interior combinations in the league. Maybe you can get rid of this one when you talk about "inside combinations".
The combination of Stoudemire and O'Neill, the big shark, you can imagine the strength of this pair just by looking at the names of these two people.
And this team also has a super point guard like Nash, a two-time regular season MVP winner, and the Suns' lineup is absolutely restrained for the Pacers.
But there are also places that the sun can't reach for walkers. That is, at the shooting guard position, the Pacers can blow up the Suns.
In this game, the Pacers will look at Li Cheng's performance and see how many points Li Cheng can score on the Suns. If Li Cheng breaks out, the Pacers may really be able to hold on to this victory on their home court!
……
On November 6th, when night covered Indianapolis, the once sleepy city fell into the same silence as before, and the place led by the Center of Consex became the bustle of the city.
The fully popped Consex Centre is a testament to the city's popularity of the city, and the match could be a great one in the eyes of many media and pundits.
However, the expectations for this game are not very high, and the Suns have only won two and lost two of their four games before that. They don't seem to be in great shape.
After the start of the game, Li Cheng was obviously affected by the training in the past few days, and his form was not particularly good. His first shot was very rare and deflected, and usually when Li Cheng was full of energy, his shooting percentage was very high.
However, Li Cheng's training intensity in the past few days has made everyone who sees him training stunned, and this guy's training intensity is simply not something that normal people can bear. On several occasions, O'Brien was worried that Li Cheng would die suddenly during training!
With such a high-intensity training, even if Li Cheng has the "top of the basketball system", he also feels a trace of fatigue at this time.
But soon Li Chengcheng adjusted. He hit two consecutive shots, plus four points from Granger and Ibaka, and the Pacers took an 8-6 lead.
Then Li Cheng broke through to the low post, and he was ready to single Barbossa.
"The Sun's inner line is too strong. Li Cheng didn't run directly to the basket, which was a very smart choice. ”
"That's not right! Looking at Li Cheng's appearance, he is ready to single Barbossa, which ...... I don't remember Li Cheng having a low-post singles in a previous tournament! ”
The commentator forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart and focused his attention on the field, and the corners of Li Cheng's mouth turned up slightly at this time. "It's time to show the results of these few days."
Barbosa has been guarding against Li Cheng's sudden turn and jump shot, and he is very afraid of Li Cheng's backward jump shot.
Li Cheng started to fight back, and Barbossa looked at Li Cheng nervously. As long as Li Cheng had the slightest intention of turning around, he would go around to Li Cheng's side to cover him. And at this time, Hill had also slowly approached from the side, ready to wrap when Li Cheng turned around.
The space in the low post is really small, and as long as you are caught here, it is difficult to find space to throw the ball, and it will be very difficult to pass the ball even if you want to.
But on the other hand, if a player in the low post gets the ball out, it's a perfect attacking opportunity.
So the low post is a real double-edged sword, but even so, low singles are still an important part of any team's strategy. Because if you want to win a championship, you have to be confident in yourself first.
You have to believe that your team's defense can trap the opposing opponent and that the offense can break the opponent's defense.
Because in the low post, as long as it is successful, it almost represents a successful attack.
Lee hit his back and then stopped dribbling and was about to turn around, when Barbossa and Hill picked up the pace of their movements at the same time. At the same time, Barbossa was also a little excited, if he could succeed in giving Li Cheng a big hat, it would definitely be cool.
Because Li Cheng's current fame is too loud, many people have figured out how to defeat Li Cheng and achieve their own fame.
But all the people who have blown up Li Cheng so far have only exploded with Li Cheng, and no one can completely limit Li Cheng on the defensive end.
"I'm going to give you a big hat, I'm going to make headlines!" Barbossa's heart was full of energy.
Barbossa was ready to go around to Li Cheng to block, and Li Cheng raised the ball above his head to make a shooting pose, and then Barbossa jumped up directly.
Barbossa's reaction startled Li Chengcheng, "My feint is so real? ”
Li Cheng was stunned, and Hill had already wrapped up. There was a good opportunity just now that he didn't take it, but Li Cheng didn't regret it, and his body leaned back.
"It's coming!" A gleam flashed in the eyes of the old spicy Ciel.
Hill, who had already washed all the lead, was much older than Barbossa, and his footsteps followed Li Cheng backwards.
Li Cheng secretly sighed at Hill's old spiciness, and then he made another move to shoot, and then his body leaned forward suddenly.
Now Barbossa's position is no threat to Li Cheng, and in the face of Hill, Li Cheng has no intention of winning with his feet at all, he is completely bullying Hill.
If Hill is still young, Li Cheng will definitely be educated by this former "Jordan successor".
The most comfortable thing in life is to teach others to be a man, but the most uncomfortable thing is to be taught to be a man by others.
But today Hill didn't have a chance to hand over Li Cheng as a man, he was really old, and his body couldn't keep up with Li Cheng's rhythm.
At this time, Barbosa posted it again, and Li Cheng turned directly out, and immediately threw the ball to the basket after turning his body.
"Textbook low-level footsteps!"
"Li Cheng still has this hand? It was so amazing to me. I thought that Li Cheng would not surprise me this season, but now it seems that this guy is still surprising us. ”
Stegen showed a satisfied smile when he saw Li Cheng's movements. "This guy's progress is too fast, but he works so hard, and he deserves such progress."
Suns coach Gentry watched Li Cheng's singles on the sidelines and smiled helplessly, "The scoring guards in this league are really stubble after stubble, Kobe Bryant is getting old, and this guy is out again." It seems that his low-post technique is not skilled, but it is very standard, and when his low-post technique is also developed in the future, there are still people in this alliance who can limit him? ”
Gentry's current helplessness is the helplessness of many NBA coaches in the future. Li Cheng will have more and more things, and he will become more and more incomprehensible.
Li Cheng's low-post singles caused violent cheers from the fans at the Conseth Center, which is something that Miller would not have, and Li Cheng is now showing such low-post skills on the court.
Lee Cheng now has more potential than Miller, but for Pacers fans, the stronger Lee Cheng is, the more excited they are.
The Pacers took a 10-6 lead and they got off to a very good start to the day.
In recent games, the Pacers have been able to get off to such a start. It's a rhythm that makes the fans very excited, and it's the rhythm of winning for them!
But then, the inside monster who once smashed the rebound, the big shark, used his strength to educate the Pacers' rookie center Hibbert.
O'Neal turned strongly, his muscular body running straight past Hibbert, and then dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
O'Neal seems to be reminding Indiana fans, don't rejoice too soon, I haven't done it yet!
Then Granger's layup was fanned out by a big hat from Studemire, and the Suns' morale was instantly high, and then they took advantage of the situation to go on a fast break.
Barbosa and Hill raced to the opposite basket, and Nash shook the ball through the pass, and then his scalpel-like pass streaked across the space and the ball came to Barbossa's hands. Barbosa hit an easy layup and the Suns equalized. (To be continued......)
