Chapter 103 I am Li Ganjian(1/2)
In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang stood on the NBA regular season stadium.
Stamps made a strange noise on the scene, mixed with cheers and boos.
After being selected by the Lakers, Li Liang was full of controversy.
At the beginning, many Lakers fans thought this was a huge mistake.
They said that if the Lakers were still in the 2008-10 period, they could have made such a mascot, but now they can't.
What's the use of such a player who hasn't even played in NCAA?
Later, Li Liang's "criticism" of management at the signing ceremony caused a lot of discussion.
Many fans are worried that this guy will be a thorn.
As a result, in the summer league, his amazing performance attracted a wave of fans.
The subsequent pre-playoffs, another outstanding performance made Lakers fans begin to have expectations for him.
Of course, it is difficult to change human prejudice. Such booing may always appear before Li Liang can perform well.
For fans, if Kobe doesn't play well, they will boo him.
Li Liang came on the court to replace Jamison, who was a former All-Star who really didn't defend on the court.
Not only can't help inside players to help defend and protect, it's difficult to even keep an eye on the people they face.
At this time, the Lakers' lineup is Jordan Hill, Blake, Gasol, and Meeks.
The Lakers' main player is older, so Brown has to replace the main player in the second half of the second quarter. Now it is the connection period, and the Lakers must seize the time to give the main player a rest.
The Mavericks are also in the rotation lineup, with Vince Carter, Jay Claude and Eddie Curry on the court.
Jay Crowder and Li Liang participated in training camps in New Jersey together. He never thought that this guy who was talking nonsense in the locker room would actually enter the NBA.
And it seems to be playing well, and it is not as popular as a first-round pick among the 2012 rookies.
The Lakers served the sideline ball, and Li Liang and Claude faced each other.
Blake took the ball in the backcourt and advanced, and Li Liang stepped forward to cover Blake.
At present, except for Li Liang, there is no one in the Lakers who can provide good cover.
Howard doesn't like to cover, Gasol and Hill are not good at cover, and they have no backup after covering.
Although Li Liang is a small forward, his cover is solid.
Blake used Li Liang's blocking man to tear a little space 45 degrees on the left.
But Blake is not Nash, and his personal attack power cannot create good offensive opportunities.
He chose to pass the ball to Gasol, who was on the low post on the left.
This is the position Gasol likes, and he uses his footsteps to force Curry.
The little Shark Curry weighs almost 300 pounds this year. He is well raised in New York, and he is as bloated as a grapefruit.
Although he can't attack like this, his defense can really stand it.
The Mavericks' players immediately came up to help with the defense, and Gasol missed the hook.
However, Gasol grabbed the frontcourt rebound and passed the ball out.
Blake had a chance at 45 degrees, but he flicked a shot and took a step in the dribble.
The Mavericks' defensive formation suddenly shrank, and there was a chance to go out from the outside!
Li Liang is on the front and has a three-pointer chance.
Li Liang yelled "Pass, pass!"
This kid doesn't look like a rookie at all, and he can yell at all no matter who it is.
There was no way, and he installed a hair dryer, and he even dared to yell.
Blake indeed passed the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang had no defense from outside the three-point line.
Claude also wants to rush over to make up for defense, you're too late!
Li Liang didn't need to aim, but he directly made a three-pointer from the front and the ball entered!
With [Zero Second Attack], his attack speed is faster than before.
38:37, Li Liang made the Lakers' second three-pointer in this game.
It was also his first goal in the NBA regular season!
After the goal, Stamps cheered in the center. On the bench, Thackeray stood up like his butt was on fire and waved the towel to Li Liang.
Even Kobe applauded softly.
Li Liang made a downward gesture, and this guy had seen big scenes.
Just a three-pointer, don't make a fuss.
At this time, the system gives a prompt:
【Get the achievement, ‘NBA’s first goal’, reward: get a chance to draw the lucky turntable once.】
When Li Liang saw it, he was lucky draw and wanted to draw me something useless?
No matter what, play well.
The meaning of this goal is far more than Li Liang's first goal score.
Because the Lakers are not good at three-pointers, the Mavericks have always used shrinking defense.
Use a strong forward line like Claude and Marion to deal with the Lakers' inside double towers.
Because there are no three-pointers, the Lakers who cannot open the space can play and cut, but they cannot move at all.
A large number of invalid passes and extra mistakes have led to the team's offensive efficiency being very low.
After this three-pointer, Carlisle had to consider whether he should continue to use the strategy of shrinking defense.
However, Li Liang's real role is not three-pointers, but his defense.
Collins passed the ball with half and faced Blake, Collins felt no pressure at all.
Although Blake plays diligently, he has no choice but to be a thin white man on the basketball court.
The defensive end is even less present than Nash. You can imagine how bad the Lakers' defense on the back line will be.
The Mavericks' formation is opened, and the Lakers will open the hole after the pick-and-roll in the middle. Carter and Mayo on the wing can attack with three points, and Marion can catch the ball and rush to the basket.
, Faced with this simple and efficient tactical routine, the Lakers have no way to do it.
Sure enough, Curry came up to serve as a blocker for Collins. This guy like a meaty mountain blocked Blake so hard that he couldn't find North.
In this way, Gasol had to defend one and two, and Collins entered the three-second zone from the middle.
Someone on the weak side must come to help defend, and the Mavericks' opportunity will come out.
Collins was thinking about whether he would directly kill the basket or pass the ball to his teammates on the weak side.
But I found that my ball was gone.
Yes, the ball is gone.
As I transported it, where is my ball?
It turned out to be Li Liang, who rushed over from the back and directly pounded the ball from Collins's hand!
Collins was too careless about this ball, thinking that Ci Shiping and Kobe were not present, and the Lakers did not have the ability to steal.
But he knew that Li Liang, who was standing at 45 degrees, directly gave up his defense against Claude and took the risk of double-teaming Collins from the back.
The two fell to the ground and snatched together at the same time, and the referee blew the ball.
Li Liang, who got the chance to compete for the ball, roared angrily. Only when defending, he could feel his adrenaline soaring.
The audience finally stopped boosing and began to replace them with cheers and applause.
Li Liang only took two rounds to get the recognition of Stamps.
Why?
Because fans saw this thing that the Lakers lacked very much in him.
Energy and passion.
There is someone on the Lakers' bench who is very energetic and passionate, but unfortunately he can't play.
Scramble, Collins and Li Liang.
Li Hao is also a 205-year-old striker, and Collins is the point guard. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't compete with the opponent.
Li Liang transferred the ball to Gasol in the air, and the Lakers obtained the ball rights.
Li Liang rushed through the half and then stood outside the 45-degree three-point line with his hips on his hips.
Claude, do you dare to be on guard? Do you dare to go to the inside to attack?
Do you dare?
