Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters win less than lose
As a forward who can be fast or slow, and can be quadruple, Li Liang has control and understanding of rhythm, and his players who are more than him in the world can count on one hand.
James is one, Chris Paul is one, and there should be those top point guards in Europe.
Li Liang didn't plan to win this game, he knew he would definitely not be able to beat it.
In fact, his opponent in this game is not a player of Team USA.
One of these players is counted as one, and all of them are Li Liang, who are defeated by his subordinates.
The person Li Liang really regards as his opponent is actually the head coach of the United States team, Lao K.
Li Liang and Lao K have a connection. When they got [Bob Knight's Hair Dryer], they got it after following Lao K to train under coach Knight and completed the class tasks.
Unfortunately, Lao K didn't know (it would be strange if he could know). He has always targeted Li Liangting.
After all, Li Liang is Kalipari's disciple, and the two have a lot of grudges in NCAA.
Lao K is indeed a famous coach. When the American Dream Team showed its depressed appearance, he took over the national team.
He has well combined a group of big-name stars, fully adapted to the current tactical trend, fully utilized the characteristics of American players, and built the American team into a unique and powerful team.
His basketball attainments are indeed quite high, and he is better than his predecessor than Bob Knight.
In this game, Li Liang wanted to compete with Lao K.
Li Liang turned on [Bob Knight's Hair Dryer].
After coming to the national team, Li Liang had never used this thing.
After all, the power is too great, and the young men of his Chinese team can't stand it.
Now on the court, Li Liang needs his teammates to strictly obey his tactical arrangements, so he must turn on the hair dryer.
Li Liang first took control of the ball into his own hands, and he personally controlled the rhythm.
Secondly, Li Liang no longer shouted that he wanted his teammates to run. On the contrary, Li Liang asked everyone to slow down.
"Slow down, don't run around! Find a good position, find a good position, squat, squat!"
For the defense of the US team, the so-called running of Chinese players is actually the same as not running.
It’s better not to run, save some energy to grab rebounds, or return to defense.
Li Liang asked everyone to try their best to pull away and not run around to destroy the formation.
The only person who can cooperate with Li Liang is Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian came to pick-and-roll, and the US team decisively double-teamed Li Liang.
Li Liang held the ball back, and then took the ball without double-teaming, but controlled it and stabilized it.
The dribble went around and got rid of the double-team of Team USA.
There were free and opportunity at the basket, but Li Liang did not pass the ball.
Instead, he continued to rub at 45 degrees on the right, and finally made a three-pointer from the outside with a very long distance.
"Swish!" Hit!
Li Liang saw that his teammates had the chance but did not pass the ball because he knew that even if it was passed, his teammates might not be able to score.
It's better to vote by yourself.
The opportunity for teammates to run has attracted the attention of the defenders to a certain extent.
Giving Li Liang the opportunity to adjust, Li Liang made a three-pointer directly.
It seems like a very long three-pointer, but in fact it is a normal shooting distance for Li Liang.
"Retreat! Retreat! Hurry!"
As soon as he scored, Li Liang shouted to retreat and wanted to whip everyone's butt.
Playing with Li Liang, most of the physical strength of the rest of the Chinese team will be spent on retreating and position defense.
Don’t press or delay the whole game because Li Liang knows that this is meaningless.
There is no double-teaming in defense, nor is there any joint defense?
The Chinese team had one move: shrink.
A comprehensive contraction was made, and the outside line was given out for Team USA to practice targets.
If you want to shoot, just shoot. I will beat you up. Anyway, I will never give the US team a chance to play inside.
Thompson made a third three-pointer in the second quarter, but failed to hit.
Li Liang won the backcourt rebound and did not launch a fast attack, but dribbled the ball slowly through the half court to control the rhythm.
Li Liang's rhythm and time pressure has reached its limit.
Starting from the second quarter, basically every attack is pressed until the last 20 seconds before processing.
Most of them attack by themselves, and a small number will pass them to their teammates to handle the ball.
And even if it is passed to teammates, teammates don't have much time to attack with the ball, and they just make a random shot.
But it was this "cancer" style of playing that the Chinese team first passed the scoring drought at the beginning of the second quarter.
Then, the gap between the widening points was slowly stopped and the gap was gradually narrowed.
On the contrary, although Team USA was leading, their offense began to become less stable.
The Chinese team's shrinking defense and quick return to defense have made the fast counterattack that the United States is best at is useless.
Originally, the three-pointers from the outside and the basket scored from the inside, and then the speed was faster and the opponent was in chaos, the US team could firmly control the victory in its own hands.
However, the Chinese team's special strategy formed a solid shield and Li Liang's sharp spear.
At the end of the second quarter, the two sides had a 53:45 match, and the United States led China by 8 points.
This difference is not very big.
Li Liang scored 20 points by himself in the second quarter and scored 32 points in the first half. Without his scoring, the Chinese team's offense could not be seen at all.
But he has this strength, not only scoring, but also determines the Chinese team's tactics on the field, which has well curbed the momentum of the US team.
Li Liang thought to himself, I don’t even have any trouble?
When the scene ended, a reporter came over to interview Li Liang.
Li Liang took this opportunity and said in front of the camera: "I am the only one in our team who is an NBA player, and there are 12 on the other side. I think if we can only lose 12 points in this game, then the Chinese team will win! That's right, lose less as a win, that's what I think."
This guy is really cunning. It is a joke to lose less and win. Just forget it, but he still takes it seriously.
But this quickly reached the locker room of the US team, and American players could be said to be excited.
This guy Li Liang started to speak out again and won the game with a loan.
I originally thought I would teach him a lesson, but he scored 32 points alone in the first half. He didn't teach him a lesson, but instead he was taught a lesson.
There is no way, Lao K found that double-teaming has no effect on Li Liang anymore.
This guy has become very capable of getting rid of double-teams now. Moreover, because fiba's three-point line is relatively close, he often takes three-pointers directly after getting rid of it, ignoring it.
Even if the hit rate declines compared to usual, it can't stand the amount.
Li Liang made 5 of 14 three-pointers in the first half, and one man's three-point shots exceeded the entire US team.
Three-pointers accounted for half of Li Liang's score.
If these moves are assigned to teammates, it is a problem whether half of 15 points can be obtained.
Therefore, a 35% hit rate is already good for Li Liang.
During the intermission, Gong Luming agreed with Li Liang's tactics.
He only called a timeout for the second quarter to make a substitution.
Gong Luming admired Li Liang's seemingly simple and crude cancer tactics arranged by him from the bottom of his heart.
This has carried forward his "one shot and four grabs" tactic.
And he kept polishing the details on the court.
Li Liang already had a faint shadow of a tactical master.
...
At the beginning of the third quarter, the United States finally began to make efforts and changed their strategy.
Lao K only has one requirement for the team - speed up, speed up crazy, and you must start to speed up.
Moreover, after the start of the third quarter, Lao K placed Durant, Thompson, Irving and Anthony on the court at the same time.
These four people have very strong three-pointers, so Lao K obviously wants to make Li Liang pay the price.
Durant and others were not polite. After the third quarter, they started with defense and double-teamed Li Liang!
Now Li Liang had to pass the ball, and the Chinese team's offense began to fall into chaos.
Li Liang passed the ball, but the offense became chaotic.
Because the US team made the counter-attack and assisted defense after double-teaming, the speed of returning to the position was very fast.
After defending, the US team simply turned against each other.
Team USA's physical advantages are also beginning to show.
Lao K really did 12 people rotation, as if he was playing ice hockey, constantly changing people and running.
There are only a few people who can really play on the Chinese side, and only one and a half can compete with the American team.
Later, Li Liang finally couldn't hold on anymore. Anyway, it was time to warm up, so there was no need to use props to fight desperately.
After scoring 45 points, Li Liang left the court early in the fourth quarter. At this time, the scores of both sides had reached 73:97, and the Chinese team was 24 points behind, reaching twice the 12th.
It definitely won't be able to beat it.
Chapter completed!
