Chapter 84 Captain(1/2)
Li Liang did the stretching and appeared on the court with his teammates, and the game continued.
Wei Dazhi on the sidelines saw Li Liang coming on the field, and quickly took out his camera and took a photo.
Other reporters were not interested in Li Liang, and their attention was all focused on Barnes and Thompson.
Thompson and Barnes were sitting on the bench drinking water.
Mike Malone gave the two a rest and replaced Draymond Green.
Green is wearing No. 23, 6 feet tall, but he is playing power forward.
He is a solid and strong figure and has been working at Michigan State University for four years and has made significant progress every year.
He has comprehensive skills and passion for playing, and is the historical rebounding champion of Michigan State, with steals and blocks second.
Because the coach did not arrange how to play, and the Lakers players were temporarily pieced together, the Warriors served the sideline ball, and the Lakers' defensive position was a loophole.
Only Thackeray stands near the three-second zone, facing the serve, protecting the basket.
Others are just walking, standing in front of the person they are facing, but not focusing.
The referee blew the whistle and the Warriors serve.
Green stood outside the boundary, and the Warriors had a simple running position, and a chance appeared on the right bottom corner.
Green immediately hung the ball towards the right bottom corner, which was an opportunity to attack!
Halfway through the ball, the player in the Warriors' corner had not yet got the ball, a Lakers player rushed out and intercepted the ball in the air!
Who else can it be? Of course it is Li Liang.
Because the Lakers did not defend this ball well, the Warriors' passers and receivers were a little relaxed.
But Li Liang had been staring at him long ago. Green could see the empty seats, and Li Liang could see them too.
Li Liang has played in official NBA games and is mainly defense, so he has high sensitivity.
Li Liang broke the ball from the sideline and almost flew out of the bottom line.
He tiptoed to control the balance and threw the ball back to defender Dalius Morris.
Morris hesitated for a moment when he got the ball, and Li Liang shouted at him: "Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Liang was already running towards the frontcourt first. Morris reacted and immediately pushed the fast attack.
Li Liang's running was just a feint, and his fast attack level was not good.
Instead of running to the basket, he went to the bottom corner on the left and the inside was pulled empty.
Morris went straight to the basket, made a layup, and caused the opponent to foul.
The Lakers finally scored a goal!
Then Morris hit a free throw, 18:10.
After Li Liang appeared, the Lakers' scores finally reached double-digit.
How sad, it only scored 7 minutes into double digits.
The primary school students' competition is just like this.
"Retreat and prevent retreat and prevent retreat and prevent retreat!"
Li Liang installed Bob Knight's hair dryer for himself and increased the power to yell at his teammates.
Other Lakers players retreated to the backcourt, but Li Liang stayed in the frontcourt.
"Go back to the backcourt and find someone by yourself!" Li Liang shouted at Morris.
This kid starts, but his guard is like shit, and he is thinking about offensive points, and he can't see his hit rate.
In fact, Morris' defense is good. He has always been among the top steals in college and has been selected into the best team many times.
Unfortunately, I entered the NBA and had insufficient talent. In order to make a living, I lost my defense and thought about scoring.
Li Liang drove Morris away and he faced the Warriors point guard Charles Liggins in the frontcourt.
Mike Brown found it interesting. This kid is 6-foot-9 in height, facing a point guard, can he keep up?
Don't fall down with garlic under your feet, it will be embarrassing.
Brown obviously doesn't understand Li Liang, although he is tall and his pace is slower than that of the small defender.
But he moved slowly, his pace was very steady, and he had predictions.
Liggins is just an NBA marginalist. Like many NBA marginal guards, his biggest weakness is that his body is not strong enough.
As soon as the ball was served in the backcourt, Li Liang stuck on it like a rubber plaster.
Lower the center of gravity, neither far nor near.
That intensity is not the summer league level at all.
Liggins wanted to speed up and found that he couldn't get through!
No one came to pick him up!
"Beep!" The referee whistled, 8 seconds in the half!
The Warriors violated the rules and converted the ball rights.
Li Liang made the Warriors make two mistakes.
The atmosphere on the field changed subtly.
"Defend well! Like you did just now! Get up on your spirits!"
Li Liang, who was successful in defense, did not let his teammate go, which was different from the one Li Liang on the road.
Li Liang gave people the impression that he was more lively and cheerful, and he liked to brag and joke, and he was quite interesting.
Now when you arrive at the stadium, it suddenly becomes ferocious.
But no one thinks Li Liang has a disgusting face, but instead thinks he is right and you must defend well!
The Lakers serve the sideline ball, and Li Liang serves.
The Lakers only have one ball point, Morris.
Morris came out to catch the ball, Li Liang passed the ball, and then went outside the three-point line to cover.
With a strong cover, Morris calmly entered the three-second zone from the oblique side.
But Green stood in front of Morris. Morris wanted to break through and make a layup, but was covered by Green!
Morris passed the ball back to Li Liang on the outside. There was a defensive man in front of Li Liang, but he did not take action.
At this time, Ain on the other side came out and made a hand-passing pass with Li Liang to cover the ball.
With the help of cover, Ironga made a layup from the middle, causing the opponent's foul and went to the free throw line.
Two consecutive screens gave teammates enough room to break through and finally got a chance to score.
Iron made two free throws, and the Lakers approached the score.
This time the Warriors serve in the backcourt, Morris did not run away again.
He and Li Liang came to the frontcourt to press and defend.
Defensive success, score points, defense success, score again.
This is a virtuous cycle, which undoubtedly motivates Lakers players.
No one doesn't want to win. This group of so-called crooked and crooked people used to be the elites of their respective teams.
It’s just that there are too many capable people in this world, there are mountains outside the mountains, and the NBA world is too cruel.
They thought they were lucky to be in the Lakers, but in the eyes of the giants, nothing was.
The coach does not pay attention to it, the team is in a mess and the opponent is too strong, how can you be energized?
But Li Liang injected something different into this miscellaneous army.
Liggins still had the ball in the backcourt and passed half. This time Morris kept a close eye and Li Liang stepped forward to double-team.
Liggins immediately passed the ball to Green who was receiving the ball, and Green dribbled through himself.
Green and Magic are the same school, inheriting the magician's classic butt-stick dribbling technique.
Anyway, I don’t play fancy dribbling skills, so I just stick out my butt and buckle you all the way through the half. What can you do?
Li Liang really didn't have a good idea in this move. Green handed the ball to his teammates after halftime and then ran to the inside.
There are not many ways to attack the Warriors' position, they rely on the players' personal abilities.
The Lakers' defense has been much stronger than before. Without the two strong points of Thompson and Barnes, the Warriors' offense has stagnated.
A three-pointer from the outside missed, and Thackeray grabbed the rebound.
His first idea was not to give the defender a quick attack, but to pass it on to Li Liang.
After Li Liang got the ball, he handed the ball to Morris steadily, and then said to Thackeray: "Don't give me the ball to the attack in the future."
Thackeray nodded, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "You are the captain, I passed it on."
To be continued...
