Chapter 257 Feeling bursting(1/2)
During the first two rounds of attack, both sides felt very good.
5:5 square meters.
In the Pacers' offensive round, David West took the ball at a high position, and this time Li Liang got close to the defense.
West shook the ball with a moment, then broke through with his left hand and walked in the middle!
Li Liang was very clever and did not go to the body to fight. Instead, he took the ball from West's side and back to disrupt West's dribbling rhythm.
As a result, West chose a small right-handed throw in a panic, which was shortened by Howard's interference.
Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and took the ball to stabilize it, which cooled down the fast pace of the opening game.
Tonight, the Lakers were missing two generals Kobe and Gasol, and Li Liang's burden was heavier.
It is not that easy to pretend to be Kobe, at least you have to be able to take action.
Li Liang now only has one quick stop jump shot after using a few balls, which is easy to see through.
He estimated that the Pacers will definitely target him on both offense and defense tonight.
Li Liang passed the ball to Nash, and Nash launched a counterattack.
In the counterattack, Howard was in a low position and turned around to attack with the ball.
As a result, Hibert was very terrified and took a step back and removed the force, causing Howard to turn around and fail to lean on him. The referee blew him to walk.
Howard fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner, looking helpless.
He fell more this season than in all previous seasons.
However, the referee turned around and called Hibert a foul for offensive position and found one.
When Li Liang saw it, he started to scold, "I'll blow a few more times. I'd known I was going to look for it. Isn't it enough if I didn't blow it just now? Isn't it all right inside and outside?"
The referee rolled his eyes and said nothing.
But after a while, Howard also took an offensive foul in the inside line!
Referee, are you going to be crazy? Is this how you look for a whistle?
Are you looking for it repeatedly jumping left and right?
There was a booing sound at the scene.
The referee is just looking for trouble.
Howard laughed helplessly.
In this way, both sides had a good start, but the referee's magical operation disrupted the rhythm and did not score for two minutes.
Then Hibert missed the hook at the basket, Li Liang got the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers launched a counterattack.
Nash cut to the bottom line and returned the ball to Li Liang.
Li Liang held the ball from outside the three-point line, and Paul George saved it, and the speed was very fast.
Because Li Liang had to take action with three points, this is his point.
As a result, George pounced on him and Li Liang was actually doing a fake move.
He shook George away, dribbled the ball into the three-point line, and then made a mid-range jump shot!
There was no one in front of him two or three meters, because the Pacers' defensive strategy was to let Paul George stare at Li Liang one-on-one.
As a result, Li Liang made a quick stop and jump shot, with two points!
Another CNY!
After scoring the goal, Li Liang pulled his collar, which was Kobe's signature move.
Although Li Liang's middle distance is far from Kobe's perfection, if you let him throw an empty spot, it is equivalent to giving away points.
After all, his free throw ability is there, and even good free throw shots will not be too bad.
The Pacers are still attacking on the positions.
The Pacers' position attack routines are relatively lacking, and the ball is transferred from three points on the outside, and then Hibert and West form high and low posts.
The ball was spared and was about to pass it to West, but Li Liang suddenly grabbed the previous step and broke the ball!
Li Liang dribbles and fast attack!
His dribbling level has improved compared to the past.
George Hill defends him alone, and George Hill is very good at defending him alone.
He had already predicted Li Liang's dribbling breakthrough route in advance and was ready to commit a foul.
As a result, as soon as someone else stood, Li Liang suddenly stopped and then made a quick stop and jump shot from close range.
45 degrees of boarding!
The ball hit the rebound and bounced into the basket and scored another 2 points.
At 9:5, Li Liang scored 7 of the Lakers' 9 points in the opening game alone.
Very good, this is Kobe.
And this close-range emergency stop and jump shot was Sam Jones's unique skill.
Li Liang shook his head at George Hill and said, "Haha, I still want to commit a foul? Will I give you this opportunity?"
Hill looked depressed. He really wanted to commit a foul. Li Liang's speed and impact were not enough, and the dribbling was a bit bumpy.
Who knew that this kid didn't play by the routine and had an emergency stop to play a jump shot on the board?
Then, the Pacers' attack fell into stagnation, and the inside bodies of both sides were in a very fierce battle.
One of the major weaknesses of the Pacers team is that they are not good at offense and do not have an absolutely reliable scoring point.
The teams in every position are good, but unfortunately there is no one who can really make the final decision.
After the two sides' continuous high-intensity physical confrontation, Howard expressed dissatisfaction with the Pacers' big moves.
As a result, I got a technical foul.
The Warcraft also has no memory and challenges the referees in several consecutive games.
Seeing that Howard was in a bad mood, Mike Brown replaced him and replaced O'Neal Jr.
As soon as O'Neal came on the stage, he received a lot of applause from the scene.
After all, he has left his peak and glory here.
Now wandering around, it makes people feel sad.
On the Pacers' side, Paul George made a free throw, which finally gave the Pacers a point.
9:6, the Lakers led by 3 points, and five minutes have passed in the first quarter.
The two goals in the first game were thought to be an offensive performance, but it turned out to be another defensive meat grinding battle.
After the Lakers lost Kobe, not only did they lose a strong offensive point, but the person who attracted the most defensive attention on the court disappeared.
The feelings of other players are obvious, and their defensive pressure has increased.
Li Liang didn't feel anything because the Pacers asked George to defend him alone.
Anyway, he is almost the same treatment when playing against other teams, so he gradually got used to it.
Nash dribbled through half the ball, broke into the inside and was hit by a clamp, and passed the ball to Li Liang at the bottom corner.
George posted it up.
This time George has learned his lesson, and the distance is not far or near, and the speed is not fast or slow.
Don't give Li Liang the opportunity to make a false move or take action directly.
Logically speaking, Li Liang will pass this ball, but if Kobe is, he will definitely pass it.
But Kobe is not there, Ci Shiping is on the other side, and the Pacers' defense is a bit powerful.
Li Liang adjusted the dribble slightly, then adjusted his pace, and shot from outside the three-point line!
George didn't expect Li Liang to do this, it was not his style.
As a result, the ball flew towards the basket and hit it accurately!
One three-pointer!
Strong three-pointer!
After scoring the goal, Li Liang shook his finger gently at George and told him that he should not be careless in defense.
George underestimated Li Liang's ability to shoot strongly.
After Malawic's mission, his strong three-point shooting has improved.
But he rarely uses it in games.
After all, Kobe is here, and one Kobe is enough to make a strong shot. Another one is afraid that Mike Brown will die of a heart attack on the bench.
Li Liang felt that the touch felt very good tonight, and he made a lot of shots and it felt like it.
