Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Li Liang was indeed different from usual in the first quarter, he played very aggressively.

He almost dedicated his few stunts one by one to help the Lakers maintain the suppression of the Thunder in the scene.

This is an away game. If the Lakers are overwhelmed by the Thunder at the beginning of the game, the situation will be very difficult.

So the Lakers must lead and must control the situation on the court.

It's just that Mike Brown didn't expect that they relied on Li Liang, not Howard as expected.

After all, Howard is an insider and lacks explosive power on the offensive end, unlike Li Liang who has more freedom as an outsider.

And he faced Durant tonight without any fear. The two played back and forth, and Li Liang even had a slight advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by 5 points at 30:25.

Li Liang had a rest. Mike Brown handed Li Liang a bottle of water and said, Bruce played well, he was very aggressive tonight.

Li Liangdao: I just do what I should do, let the game finish quickly.

Mike Brown didn't quite understand the meaning of Li Liang's words, let the game end quickly?

Li Liang took a sip of water to calm himself down.

He did play very well in the first quarter, scored 13 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds, sent 2 assists, and had 1 block and 1 steal.

This is only in terms of statistics. You can tell from the progress of the game that Li Liang's performance completely disrupted the Thunder's deployment.

The Thunder's defense at the beginning was aimed at Kobe. They planned to use the shepherd dog to chase the sheep method to create a defensive trap and trap Kobe.

Once Kobe's strongest point is contained, it will be very difficult for the Lakers to win the Thunder in an away game.

Who would have thought that Li Liang's fist punches messed up Lei Ting's defense.

In the opening five minutes, the Thunder's defensive trap against Kobe failed, and they turned to deal with Li Liang.

But to deal with Li Liang, this guy doesn't hold the ball and is sneaky, so it's hard to guard against.

But Li Liang knew that this style of play couldn't last the whole game, and the Thunder wouldn't let him steal like this all the time.

Later, the Thunder will definitely attach great importance to the protection of backcourt rebounds.

Li Liang predicted that after the second quarter, the Thunder will strengthen the protection of backcourt rebounds.

Thunder players, including Westbrook, will devote themselves to rebounding.

The good news for the Lakers is that the Thunder's fast break will be compromised.

Westbrook's windy counterattack in the first quarter will definitely be reduced, and the Thunder will slow down.

After all, besides Li Liang in the first quarter, Howard also grabbed two offensive rebounds.

When Pau Gasol comes on the stage, the Lakers always have a big man inside, and the Thunder have to guard against it.

Li Liang thought about it carefully and thought that the key point after the second quarter would be defense.

After a chaotic start to establish an advantage, the Lakers will use defense to consolidate their advantage at the beginning of the second quarter, and spend time with the Thunder.

If the Lakers continue to take the lead in the second half, they will be able to use their deep experience in positional warfare to grind down the game.

If he fails to hold up defensively in the second quarter and is hit back by the Thunder, it will be difficult to say later.

Li Liang's mind turned quickly, and within two minutes, he figured out what to do in the second quarter.

To be honest, many players in the NBA don't play with their brains, they just rely on their feelings.

It feels good to play when it comes, but it feels bad when it is gone, especially some black players.

And some players will think carefully, come up with a strategy, and then put it into action, such as a commander like Nash.

When the first and second games were not going well, Nash made a change in the third game.

He reduces the amount of time he spends with the ball, allowing himself to serve as a pivot and finisher.

This style of play is a bit similar to Kidd in the late period, but Nash's shooting ability is still more reliable than Kidd.

Of course, there are still some players who will think carefully and come up with a strategy, and then Bang will still shoot by himself.

That's Corvette.

Now Corvo and Nash are sitting off the court, and the commander on the court is Li Liang.

...

The second quarter started, Howard and Gasol were present at the same time.

Mike Brown patted Li Liang, You know how to do it?

Li Liang nodded, I know, don't worry.

Mike Brown was relieved, anyway, he couldn't make any tricks after a two-minute break between festivals, so he might as well trust Li Liang.

Li Liang tonight is really different, with the demeanor of a general.

The Thunder's second unit was led by Durant, along with Fisher, Martin, Collison and Ibaka.

Brooks didn't dare to let Durant rest off the court for too long, and he didn't dare to let Ibaka sit on the bench inside.

Although this second lineup suffered a bit in the second game, it was mainly because of Howard.

But Brooks weighed it. If Perkins is put on the court for Howard, their offense will be four-on-five, which will be too difficult.

They want to chase points now and smooth out the difference as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

As a result, they made a mistake on the first offense at the beginning of the second quarter.

Outside Li Liang and Meeks encircled Durant. Durant was oppressed and dribbled the ball with his left hand to his foot and went out of the sideline.

Regarding Fisher's point, it can't be released at critical moments, and it can be released as soon as it is released during regular time.

On the offensive end, Li Liang told Meeks to slow down.

Meeks is a player who doesn't use his brain very much, anyway, he can do whatever Li Liang asks him to do.

As long as he listened to Li Liang's command, he found that the position of point guard was not that difficult to play.

The Lakers chose the simplest offensive method, allowing Howard to gouge inside.

In the playoffs, Howard is still powerful in the low post, not to mention that Collison defends him.

Howard drew a defensive foul on Collison, went to the free throw line, and made one of two free throws.

31:25.

Although it was only 1 point, it caused damage and sent a message to the Thunder: We are going to play slowly.

At this time, the Thunder did not have Westbrook on the field, so it was not easy to rush.

You let the old fish rush? The old fish can still make a dash off the field, but not on the field.

Then, the Thunder made a mistake.

Collison held the ball in a high position to support, Durant cut inside, Collison hit the ground and passed inside, and the pass was too big.

Out of bounds, the Lakers have the ball.

The ball was too tight for Li Liang, and Collison had to calculate a little more in advance.

But Durant was a little slower and didn't have time.

He was held back by Li Liang, who was fighting against Durant.

Then, Meeks relied on Li Liang's defense to get inside, and then distributed the ball to Gasol who was withdrawing.

Gasol hits a 12-foot jumper from the right corner against Ibaka's block!

At 33:25, the Lakers further widened the point difference.

The Thunder are a little anxious here, Durant doesn't care, he's going to take the ball and hit it himself.

He caught the ball with the help of a cover run, broke through the middle and went to the basket.

The Lakers Li Liang followed closely, and then yelled help defend!

The Lakers fully contracted to defend Durant's breakthrough in the middle.

Durant is Durant after all, he is not James.

The reason why James' breakthrough is so powerful is not only because of his strong physical fitness and fast speed, but also because of his excellent passing vision.

Opponents hardly dare to encircle and double-team him, and if he is not careful, he will be wide open.

Durant lacks the vision and talent of James in support. He is a natural scorer.

So he didn't care about Fisher and Martin on the left and right wings, and he went straight to the layup.

The result was blocked by Howard and missed a layup.

But after Durant landed, he immediately took off and threw himself into the fight, and finally got together with Li Liang.

The ball flew over the baseline and the referee called a faceoff.

Another scrimmage.

Li Liang thought to himself, I have never lost a fight.

Standing on the free throw circle, Li Liang looked at Durant and said, I don't jump, but we own the ball.

Durant glanced at Li Liang with his small eyes, but said nothing.

But he knew that Li Liang was famous for not jumping the ball, but the Lakers always owned the ball.

Durant hesitated for a moment. He felt that he should be careful not to push the ball too hard like Ibaka did.

Durant was trying to control the ball when the referee threw the ball into the air, and Li Liang jumped up with a whoosh!

Then he hit the ball first in the air and passed the ball to Gasol.

Gasol is firmly in control of the ball, the Lakers' possession.

Durant hesitated for 0.1 second, but it was too late.

Didn't you say you won't jump? Durant couldn't help but angrily said after landing.

You believe me when I say it? Don't you know how to think? What about your brain, eaten by zombies? Li Liang was stunned, leaving Durant speechless.

Durant's face was as stretched as his arms.

Tell me, everyone is playing in one league and one unit, Bruce Lee, are you still an individual?

Please take a leave, one more, tired.
