Chapter seven hundred and seven undercurrents surging
This prop is not a timely help for Li Liang, but it is definitely a very useful thing.
Since entering the league, after obtaining the [Three-point Hit Rate Improvement Post] through missions, this useful prop has been with Li Liang, becoming a big consumer of the anger value.
In the Lakers and in the Clippers, Li Liang's three-pointer was extremely fatal.
But after arriving at the Pacers, three points alone were a little bit too small.
Because many teams have seen through it now, they just stuck to Li Liang's point.
Two people, three people or even four people go to guard, and the others are left to fate.
JR, Granger and others are not stable enough and do not have the ability to kill their opponents by themselves.
So, Li Liang had to develop his own other offensive methods more.
In addition to breakthroughs and emergency stop jump shots, the sharpest weapon left is of course a mid-range jump shot.
This strongest offensive technique that has run through basketball history seems to be abandoned by the league in an era when three-pointers are becoming more and more valued.
Because according to data analysis, using three-pointers, basket offense, and free throws is the offensive method with the highest scoring efficiency.
In terms of big data, medium distance is the lowest efficiency, especially two minutes long.
But the competition is not entirely composed of data, the data is the result, not the process.
The power of middle distance has been proven time and time again on the NBA playoff stage.
The Clippers were able to defeat each other last season, in addition to Li Liang's three-pointer, Paul also had a mid-range guarantee.
Not to mention the Lakers, Kobe's VP season is the best CPI master in history.
Even James, his shooting is not stable, and there is also a Chinese shot master Wade, who can break out in the playoffs.
It feels like it is not accurate on time when it is anti-normal, and when it comes time to get accurate, it will be scary.
Now there are no such middle-distance masters in Li Liang's teammates.
JR, Granger, and West are all very good, but they can't hold on and can't afford to cover the bottom.
So Li Liang has more and more mid-range jump shots in the game.
Generally, it is a jump shot after his breakthrough, a 45-degree jump shot, or a catch shot after a pick-and-roll screen.
If he was just a three-pointer, no one would give him space. If he had two or three people piled up in front of him, he would not be able to maintain a high shooting rate even if he was a god.
Moreover, this [Medium-distance hit rate enhancement post (a)] can maintain the effect for 10 minutes, basically lasting half a section, and you won’t be afraid even if there is a pause.
Just go to the redemption center to see the price - the system is getting darker and darker.
Fortunately, Li Liang received a lot of anger values at the Quick Loan Center the day before yesterday.
The quality of Cleveland fans is poor. I still miss you during the regular season. I think Paul George I brought to you.
When he arrived in the Eastern Conference Finals, he turned against him and began to swear to Li Liang in the game.
Of course, it doesn't matter to Li Liang. The more people he booed, the better. It would be better to be able to scold each other at that time, then he would be happy.
At the beginning of the game, the Pacers' starting lineup has changed compared to the previous game.
Kevin Garnett replaced Danny Granger to the starting lineup and took the No. 4 position.
Li Liang came to the third position he was familiar with, playing in small forwards.
One mistake can bring wisdom.
When playing the Bulls in the semi-finals, Bird refused to change the team because he believed that Li Liang could hold on the fourth position.
But after the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, he still wanted to put Li Liang in the third position because he didn't believe that the referee would let Li Liang go.
The fourth position is still too dangerous. On the away game, I would rather sacrifice a little overall offense than strengthen defense and protect Li Liang, the absolute core.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup has not changed compared to the previous three games.
Jumping the ball, McGee took the lead in transferring the ball, and the Pacers started the first attack of the game.
As soon as the game started, the Pacers' offense was a bit unsatisfactory.
The continuous conduction ball from the outside line was destroyed by the Cavaliers when it reached the bottom corner.
A lot of offensive time has passed. In the end, the baseline free throw came out and was given to the inside. Garnett made a jump shot without a hit.
The disadvantage of not playing one, one, four, and four are that the ball transfer on the offensive end is not so smooth, and the space is obviously not open.
The Cavaliers got the backcourt rebound and fought back. James passed the half-time with a light step, and made a quick stop and a mid-range jump shot!
Iron-smashing...
Both sides failed to hit the first attack.
Afterwards, on the Pacers, Li Liang took the ball and broke the ball with a sudden stop and made a jump shot without a hit.
After returning to the third position in this game, Li Liang had been playing against James from the beginning.
It's just that they both fight one iron.
Then, Irving caused Hill to foul on the offense, and made both free throws, and the Cavaliers started with 2:0.
Immediately, Garnett took a 45-degree pick-and-roll on the left, caught Hill's pass, and made a mid-range jump shot.
After Garnett switched to the starting lineup, his mid-range jump shot must be developed and utilized, otherwise the Pacers' offense will be very difficult.
Garnett then hit a 24-second buzzer-beating mid-range, and scored 4 points in a row at the beginning.
Compared with previous games, both sides obviously have a better understanding of the opponent's offensive routines, and there are much less loss in defense.
This also makes the attacks on both sides more scattered and rely on personal abilities.
Garnett made two mid-range shots, while Irving, on the Cavaliers, made consecutive breakthroughs and shots.
Blatt has realized that Irving's point must be exploded on the offensive end and must be suppressed by Hill.
Because Irving is basically a negative effect on the defensive end and may be beaten by the opponent at any time, so he has to hide him.
If he cannot play his singles advantage on the offensive end, this point will be completely wasted.
So, after the opening, the Cavaliers kept giving Irving a single shot, allowing him to find the offensive feeling.
Irving did feel outstanding at home. His serpentine control and movement made Hill, who was good at defending, unable to guard it.
And his final ending was extremely superb, and Garnett could not stop him from coming to help defend.
Irving scored 6 points in a row at the beginning.
But except for Irving, the rest of the Knights were silent.
Paul George, who also had an outbreak in the last game, made 0 of 3 wins in this game...
Two of the shots were missed and Li Liang caught and fought back, beating the Cavaliers 6:0.
12:6, the Pacers took a 6-point lead.
James and Li Liang won no point in this confrontation.
James had a steal and an assist, while Li Liang had two rebounds and two assists.
Both of them seemed to be secretly accumulating energy.
The Cavaliers did not call the timeout, and James took the ball 45 degrees on the right and forced Li Liang to take him back.
The Pacers came online to interfere. It was JR Smith. James immediately passed the ball to George. George caught the ball and made a three-pointer, and finally got in!
This is a ball to quench your thirst.
Li Liang felt very depressed and asked jr after serving, "Do you look down on me?"
"No, how dare I look down on you?"
"Then why do you help you defend? Do I want you to help you defend?"
"I...I'm used to it."
"You are used to being a bullshit. Are you here when it's time to help defend?"
Li Liang shook his head. Smith was actually very active, but the time was not the time.
He has always been a double-team for James's team. Double-teaming is a chance to show his passing skills.
The Cavaliers later contributed high-intensity defense, double-teaming Li Liang, Li Liang passed the ball to Garnett, who was receiving the ball, and James misplaced the defense, almost broke the ball.
Finally, Li Liang ran to the right bottom corner to receive the ball, and forced a three-pointer to hit the ball while pressing with a double player.
Li Liang's response came quickly, and as soon as the ball was entered, the Cavaliers players and fans took a breath.
Is the Indiana combine going on?
In the last round of the series, Li Liang won the reputation of Chicago typewriter with his consecutive three-pointers and a quick stop jumper.
Now someone calls him the Indiana Combine, which mainly depends on when his three-pointer starts to explode.
But after this three-pointer, Li Liang did not continue to show his superb three-pointer skills.
He devoted more energy to defense, support, and defense against the outside.
He seemed to have returned to the Lakers, invisible in the overall team, but you don't know when he will show his sharp fangs.
What's more, he has more than one sharp teeth now.
At the end of the first quarter, both sides played calmly, and the Pacers led the Cavaliers by 4 points 27:23.
The Pacers are blooming at multiple points. Garnett is still in the stable, scoring 6 points and 3 rebounds, and there is also a block.
jr-Smith hit a three-pointer, and Hill continued to attack Irving. Although Irving scored 10 points, Hill also scored 6 points.
Both sides are already quite familiar with tactical habits. Without the "unfamiliarity" of the first three games, they feel that the game is playing very smoothly.
But everything is hidden under the peaceful surface, and undercurrents surging.
