Chapter 919 A ??bunch of questions
The Kings and Warriors' preseason collision attracted enough attention.
The Warriors' Avengers are indeed a strong lineup. Although James, known as the "East Green", came to the Warriors and had functional conflicts with the genuine Green, with James' basketball IQ, it is not difficult to be compatible.
After facing Li Liang repeatedly defeated, James has never stopped changing his football skills.
Strengthen three-point shooting, improve off-ball ability, improve fast break propulsion ability, reduce weight, and make your playing style more light and flexible.
From this point of view, James is becoming more and more courageous.
But to be honest, if Li Liang went to the King first, then James would most likely not join the Warriors.
Because as long as Li Liang does not join the Warriors, James still has a chance to defeat other teams in the Cavaliers.
But if you are worried that Li Liang will join the Warriors, you will be completely out of the game.
Therefore, the James team made the choice of "taking the most difficult path and leaving the opponent with no way out."
If you lose for four years in a row, no matter who has the mentality, you will have problems.
This preseason game was just a warm-up, and the Warriors started all out.
Curry, who missed the Olympics due to an ankle injury, formed the forward line, Pachuria started the center, and Klay Thompson, this is the Warriors' strong starting lineup this year.
On the bench, Iguodala, Prince, and Josh Smith were all forward players.
There is no doubt that these are all cannon fodder for Li Liang, the wheel battle.
However, the Warriors also lost a group of players such as Bogut, Azeli, Barbosa, and Barnes, and a whole substitute lineup.
For the Warriors, everyone will wait and see whether James can help the team defeat Li Liang's rule in the new season.
At least in tonight's preseason, the Warriors pressed the Kings to the ground and beat them up.
The tactical cooperation of the Kings is a mess.
In the last game of the Lakers, when Li Liang was not around, Gordon and Cousins were the main firepower points, Guy was the auxiliary firepower points, and Rondo was in command and dispatch, and the game was quite well played.
As a result, after Li Liang started tonight, the scene was obviously very messy.
To be honest, this is the first time that Li Liang has worked with a point guard like Rondo, who has particularly poor outside projection ability, and he is really unaccustomed to it.
After the pick-and-roll, Rondo did not have the ability to shoot directly, so he could only walk in with the ball.
If Li Liang cuts out and receives the ball, because Rondo cannot attract defensive attention, Li Liang's cut out is not very meaningful.
He finally forced his move after getting the ball.
So, some of the small cooperation between the two at the beginning played a bad game.
Think about the point guards Li Liang used to match in the past, Nash, Paul, George Hill, Westbrook, and George Hill, the most George Hill, who also had strong three-point shooting ability and could directly pull up and shoot and attack the basket in the pick-and-roll cooperation.
If Rondo is not allowed to hold the ball, he will not be able to open up the space at all, so he can only go to the bottom line, run back and cut in the air.
But how many such balls can be played in a game?
In the end, the Kings' offense turned into a large number of singles with the ball.
On the contrary, the Warriors cooperated quite well.
Cole's pass and cut combination, combined with James' historically-level strong and weak side transfer ball, mobilizing the King's offense like a monkey.
Cousins, the inside player, lacks movement ability, and one person can't handle the Warriors' offense.
In the first quarter, the main players of both sides played 10 minutes, and the Warriors broke through the King's defense.
A 24:10 attack wave widened the gap to 14 points.
Li Liang once suspected that he was a cancer.
He called two timeouts in the first quarter, but did not make personnel adjustments, but made fine adjustments in tactical terms.
Li Liang let Cousins and Gordon take on more offensive burdens, and Li Liang plays a supporting role himself.
It’s not that Li Liang can’t do the main attack, but that when Cousins and Gordon don’t have the ball in their hands, they don’t know how to play.
Not only Cousins, but Gordon is like this, Rondo and Guy are not masters without balls.
This is very troublesome.
The more troublesome problem lies in defense.
Mike Brown has not yet created a strong defensive system for the Kings.
Anyway, everyone still trains and competes according to one-on-one defense routines.
The Warriors began to expand their lead in the second quarter.
The Kings' offense recovered some feelings. Gordon made consecutive three-pointers from the outside, and Cousins also scored a single Pachuria.
But the King's defense did not improve at all, and was smashed to pieces by the Warriors' passing and cutting cooperation.
During the Thunder period, Durant, Li Liang and Robertson had three long-arm front lines that blocked the Warriors' passing route.
Now, Li Liang is only left, and there is more James on the other side. How can you defend yourself?
At the end of the first half, the Kings were 15 points behind the Warriors at 47:62, and were crushed by the opponent.
Although it was just a preseason game, Li Liang did not want to play. He really wanted to try the current gap in strength between the Kings and the Warriors.
I don't know if I don't try it, I'm shocked when I try it.
Although Li Liang did not do his best, the Warriors did not do their best either.
The overall cooperation of the Warriors is obviously much stronger than that of the King.
Not to mention the player's personal abilities, the two VPs on the opposite side are definitely a replica of the Thunder last season.
During the halftime break, Li Liang resisted the urge to curse and listed the team's shortcomings in the first half one by one.
The more I talked about it, the more I felt that there were too many problems with this unlucky team!
During the offense, the outside shooting percentage was poor, all kinds of pass mistakes, all kinds of invalid legends, the inside was weak and weak, and the rebound was firmly controlled by the Warriors.
In defense, the Warriors were penetrated in various ways in the three-second zone, and the two conducting ball defense lines were torn apart, and the outside line would be exposed after three passes.
What's even more terrible is that the entire team's offense and defense have no rhythm, and the speed is not enough to be relaxed and relaxed.
It’s not because the ball-handling person is not good, but because everyone has no unified idea of the offensive strategy of the entire team.
After all, the time spent training together was too short, and the coaching staff and core lineups were changed all over, and everyone didn't know how to play.
After fifteen minutes of halftime break, Li Liang was unable to finish the problem.
For the first time, he felt that being a head coach was indeed tiring.
As a player, just take care of yourself.
If you can still take care of your teammates, it means you have strong abilities.
Being a head coach, taking care of everyone is a basic operation.
If you only care about yourself, it means your level is too poor.
In the end, Mike Brown patted Li Liang and said, "Bruce, it's still a long time, don't worry, we have enough time to change."
Li Liang nodded. He knew that Brown was right and that he couldn't be anxious.
In the past four years, to be honest, the four teams that Li Liang went to have had a plug-and-play and superb VP when the basic balance was stable, so the team's record was stable and fast.
The Kings this year are really different, this is a team that has been rotten for ten years.
From top to bottom, from bosses to management, to team staff, to those players, and even fans, they don’t know how to win.
They are used to just living by themselves and getting along with the flow.
It is obviously unrealistic to change all this immediately just because Li Liang arrived.
There is too much work they have to do to grow into a truly champion team.
The tests that Li Liang has to go through in the regular season may be more than what has been added up in the past four years.
