Chapter Eighty-Nine: Upgrading to a Four-Star Marksman
In tonight's game, Li Ming scored 26 points and had 8 assists on 11-of-17 shooting, second only to McConley's 33 points and 11 assists.
The backcourt rotation of the two brought great impact and damage to the Heat, making the luxury 41 points of LeBron James on the opposite side into an empty cut.
"Lee, you saved the team with a couple of key three-pointers tonight, is there anything you would like to say?" Li Minggang was about to walk to the players' tunnel when he was stopped by a local reporter.
"Actually, it's nothing, I was in that position at the time, and my team-mates trusted me and they gave me confidence." Li Ming kept wiping the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"You beat this year's championship Heat, and to be honest, no one was optimistic about you before the game, and even the bookmaker opened a handicap of 13.5, what do you think?" Only then did Li Ming notice the Mediterranean hairstyle of the reporter in front of him.
"Uh...... Yes, the Heat are a very talented team, and there is no doubt that they are the strongest contenders for the championship, and I have a lot of respect for them. Li Ming decided not to mention the handicap, and played Tai Chi throughout the whole process, which obviously brought him a lot of goodwill.
After a few simple questions in quick succession, the journalist finally let him go.
Li Ming returned to the locker room to take a shower, and as soon as he sat down with his slippers, the familiar voice in his head sounded again.
{Ding!} The host has completed the value of the shooting skill, and has now learned the skill of "Invincible Thousand Miles Sniper", upgraded to a four-star shooter, and the similarity to Klay Thompson has reached 76%. }
{The system commodity city has also prepared a surprise for you, which will be opened for you on the spot next time.} }
Four-star shooter? Klay Thompson? Just seventy percent of Thompson is so awesome? Yes, I just don't know if Thompson's outside defense has been copied together, Li Ming stomped his foot happily.
"Lee, what are you rubbing, hurry up." Guy is already rushing.
Wow grass, this Nima has to take a shower together, big brother, I'm very straight, I'm not as good as that Longyang, Li Ming shook his head and hurriedly went in to take a shower.
By the time he entered, Randolph and Conley had already rushed out.
Hollins summed it up in the locker room very well, and almost didn't say anything superfluous, just one sentence: everyone is tired, go back and rest early, recuperate, and sleep well on the plane, children.
"Zach, can you lend me that headphone?" Tony Allen squeezed over to Randolph's side and sat down.
"But I want to listen to it myself." This Han Han looked at him sincerely and said.
"Okay, I'm not afraid you're too tired, you can sleep."
"Oh, thank you, I'm not tired, I can eat another cow when I go back." Forgive Randolph, the rectum man, Tony Allen's face is almost green, this Nima didn't go down the steps, but directly demolished the steps.
"Okay, then I won't bother you." Tony Allen left with a lonely face, his heart being hit by thousands of crits.
"Rudy, where's the magazine I kept in my bag?" Li Ming is used to it now, as long as his belongings are gone, he will go to Guy's side to find them, and he will definitely have a response.
"Oh, are you talking about these two? I'm looking at it. Guy pointed to the sneaker magazines on both sides of his hand and flipped through them casually.
After all, he needed to find something to do on the way back, Li Ming began to take out the small notebook in his bag and began to write down some details of the game, such as catching the ball and shooting, getting rid of the defense, how efficient the finish has been, and so on.
He roughly categorized them based on the previous system's prompts, with players like LeBron James who are physically strong but whose positions are unclear.
There are also players with strong labels like Ray Allen, and more often than not, the starting point guards of some teams and the main rotation point guards.
Today he focused on LeBron James and Wade.
LeBron is a player with a strong body but an ambiguous position, and his style of play can change depending on the situation on the court.
When the opposing player shows up at the No. 3 position, shorter than him and thinner than him, he is almost all under the basket with his back to the single.
And when he encounters a small forward like Rudy Gay who is on par with his physicality, he is more likely to make a pull-up jump shot after one step on the dribble.
And his first step is not absolutely fast, his first step is very explosive, can complete the space to allow himself to shoot calmly, but his shortcomings are also obvious, at the moment too dependent on the body, the stability of the shot is not high.
And when he's playing the No. 1 position with the ball — that's where he often plays, there's no one in the league who can compete with him in that position, he's absolutely dominant.
So when defending, just drive him to a place where there are teammates in the fourth or fifth position, and limit his play by assisting his teammates.
The most terrifying thing about LeBron James at the No. 1 position is not his shooting, but his big-picture vision and passing ability, his strong body can always quickly rush to the basket and quickly lock on to teammates who are open on the outside.
Almost every big pass he makes can be converted into a score, so the Heat's outside shooters are also watching him eat, and if he turns around well tonight, he can eat a few more pies.
Once he gets caught in the trap, then the shooters on the perimeter will be in trouble, because almost none of them have the ability to create chances on their own and rely on passing to survive.
When LeBron plays the No. 4 position in a small lineup, uh, he can use his nimble footwork to play the opponent's power forward or even center.
His series of feints and realistic acting skills often make the other party confused, and the most important thing is that he gets up at the end, which is very powerful and almost does not scare anyone.
Li Ming has almost done all the coaching's work, and the next time he meets the Heat, he will have more strategies.
To put it simply, the main LeBron does not fall into the No. 4 position, and they are still confident and have a chance to limit him.
Wade's characteristics are also easier to figure out, because his position is very fixed, almost always in the shooting guard position, relying on his strong body and passing speed to shake off opponents.
Try to kill the interior as much as possible, so it often happens that when the whole team only makes 20 free throws in a game, Wade makes 15 free throws alone.
Wade's Achilles' heel is on the outside, because of his dismal three-point shooting percentage, once the game is deadlocked, the opponent can safely and boldly choose to let him go and flank James.
Therefore, Wade needs to be accompanied by a top scorer, and Mike Miller and Ray Allen can almost be seen in the lineup that plays with him, so as to avoid his weaknesses to the greatest extent.
