Chapter 179 Xu Rulin(1/2)
Li Liang's arc top support pass has made some progress recently.
Before coming to Jinzhou, he did a small task of "suspending" and learned from former Nuggets celebrity Dan Isel at high positions.
I have always said that I should learn "drilling" and the difficulty of drilling lies in the control of strength.
The strength is too high, the ball flies too high, and the teammates can't get it.
If you have less strength and the arc of the ball is not enough, you will be intercepted by your opponent.
At the same time, you must have a tacit understanding with your teammates. With a small look, your teammates will know that they should go inward or cut outward.
Otherwise, your eyes were signaling for a long time, and your teammates didn't know what you were going to do, and they thought it was called a pick-and-roll, so it would be troublesome.
During the intermission in the locker room, Mike Brown asked Li Liang to take more responsibility on the offensive end and increase support from the top of the arc, especially when Kobe was not present.
There is a tacit understanding between Li Liang and Mike Brown.
He understood what Brown meant: When Kobe is not present, you should support more invading the offense, and when Kobe is present, you should take more in charge. We can't stand him so hard!
Li Liang made an OK gesture to Mike Brown, I understand what you mean.
Kobe made 6 of 18 shots in the first half, which is the familiar Kobe Kobe.
In fact, once Kobe starts to take more actions, it is mostly because there is a problem with the team's passing system.
The Warriors did a good job in the second quarter. Although they were cut into the middle with a few times, the protection of the wing made it difficult for the Lakers to transfer the ball.
NBA's defensive strategy has also been changing in recent years.
In the past few years, it is the mainstream defensive strategy to pinch the middle lane and drive the opponent to the bottom line.
Because the vision of the middle lane is wide, and since the cancellation of handcheck in 2005, a wave of great masters who broke through the middle lane has risen.
Like Ginobili, Wade, James, McGrady, Iverson, and Kobe at the time.
If you don't pinch the middle, and you don't have the protection of handcheck, they can make you burst into sieve.
The Pistons, who are good at defense, fell one after another under the breakthroughs of Ginobili, Wade and James, let alone other teams.
But in recent years, the situation has changed.
First of all, the powerful breakthrough hands gradually decrease.
The older generation of external blasters have begun to transform, and the representative figure of the new generation, Derek Ross, has lost his knee and is still recovering from injuries.
The representative figure of strong breakthroughs is Westbrook, but his flexibility and variability in breakthroughs are still far from the players in his first decade.
Secondly, excellent three-pointers and pitchers began to emerge slowly.
The efficiency of the three-point line is being paid more and more attention. In the past, you could make a three-pointer breakthrough, but now do you make a three-pointer?
I think you want to die, so this year's finals gave everyone a clear proof.
Bathir made 15 of 26 three-pointers in the entire finals, with a shooting percentage of up to 57%! It was a little bit...
There is also Mike Miller, who made 7 of 8 three-pointers in the championship game, offsetting Westbrook's gods' descending to earth.
For pitchers, the wings are their battlefield.
As a team that started with shooting, the Warriors knew the most, but Mark Jackson attached great importance to wing protection.
At the beginning, he tried to make a joint defense, trying to disrupt the Lakers' rhythm.
As a result, he made two three-pointers and immediately did not dare to slap. He honestly pinched the outside and transferred the ball and three-pointers.
You have to break through the middle or cut the basket at noon, and it's up to you.
This is the most effective defense against the Lakers halftime so far from the start of the season.
It also left the Lakers 10 points behind at halftime.
Back on the court in the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead and started attacking.
Nash took the ball and licked his hands. He never thought it was dirty anyway.
The Lakers' offense throughout the first half was messy, and after the wings were pinched, they did have much less routine.
Fortunately, with Li Liang here, this guy no longer squatted in the bottom corner to do pick-and-roll, and went to the top of the arc to catch the ball and support him.
Li Liang was a blocker. After learning in the system, his pick-and-roll level became higher and higher.
After the pick-and-roll, Nash returned the ball to Li Liang, Li Liang got the ball, and Kobe came over to cover the ball.
The two completed a hand-handed hand, and Kobe took the ball and accelerated to get rid of the defense and rushed in!
Then a quick stop and a backward jump shot!
"Bang!"
Missed!
Missed again!
The first tactic you start, you can't make the shot!
Before Li Liang could curse, he ran back to defend first.
The Warriors' quick counterattack came quickly, and Barnes took the lead. After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, he took the open position at 45 degrees!
The ball swept the basket and Li Liang, who followed, grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The Lakers reorganized the offense, Nash took the ball and advanced, and Li Liang followed from behind.
Nash dribbled near the free throw line, then sent the ball to the back, and Li Liang received the ball.
Direct three-pointer.
"Bang!" He didn't win!
Li Liang was shocked. I couldn't make the shot at the open position. I must have been infected by Kobe.
But Kobe grabbed the frontcourt rebound in the inside, and the Warriors' defense suddenly shrank in.
Kobe got rid of the ball with the ball and passed it back to Li Liang.
Li Liang received the ball and shot again, and finally hit this time.
After recovering three-pointers, Li Liang wiped his hands. He didn't make much shot in the second quarter, and his hands were a little cold.
The Lakers strengthened their defense on the defensive end.
Thompson took the ball, David Lee held the ball on the wing to support him, Curry ran around the ball without the ball and then rushed to the basket from the left 45 degrees.
This goal was for Kobe to follow the defense. Kobe has indeed worked much harder than at the beginning of the season.
After Curry reached the inside, he missed a throw with his right hand and grabbed the rebound. He still missed another shot.
Howard's interference is still very large.
Li Liang received the backcourt rebound.
The Lakers had a chance to counterattack, but Nash took the ball and walked down the wing to the basket, and was intercepted by Curry!
The Warriors' defense in the second half was as tough as the second quarter, and they were quick to start.
Curry broke into the basket in one dragon, and another right-handed throw!
I hit the board, but I still missed it!
Li Liang collected another rebound.
Nash received the ball and passed it to Kobe who ran to the frontcourt. Kobe changed direction and dodged Azeli, and made a layup with his left hand!
61:56, the two sides are still 5 points apart.
Curry, who failed to break through the basket for two consecutive goals, really doesn't believe in evil. He held the ball in the backcourt and continued to kill the basket!
This time he changed direction and rushed straight to the basket from the right, pushed Kobe's defense away, and threw a high throw with his right hand to the board.
This time the ball has been scored!
Curry played against the Lakers but had not yet gained a foothold.
From this ball, we can see that Curry is also an iron-headed baby.
What's wrong with not making layups twice? What's wrong with Howard? What's wrong with Kobe defending me? I have to make one.
The Lakers settled down and wanted to play a position, and Nash handed the ball to Li Liang at the top of the arc.
Li Liang stood facing the basket, with the spring flowers blooming, and everything was in sight.
Kobe's rare base corner was gone, and Howard was in the right waist position.
Ci Shiping is 45 degrees on the left.
After Nash handed over the ball, he took a step out and cut from the bottom line!
Chance!
Does Li Liang want to pass the ball against the ground?
Everyone thought he was going to pass the ball to Nash who cut in the bottom line, but if he passed like this, the ball would be intercepted.
Nash ran away from the basket, and Li Liang's ball was not passed to him.
