Chapter 655

The technique of layup is simple and simple.

For a basketball layman like Sakuragi Hanamichi, the first offensive technique he learned after he started playing basketball was a layup by a small person.

This is the simplest and most elementary basketball offensive skill. Basically, most beginners learn layups at the beginning.

It's just that in a game of the NBA level, it's not so easy to layup easily.

Because the basket is the most intensely contested area, most NBA players, in addition to relying on tactics to run out of space, have a very low success rate when you let him break through and make a layup.

Li Liang has been relying on shooting for a long time, let alone a breakthrough, even if he is on a fast break, he will mostly choose a jump shot with a stop.

In his opinion, his jump shot is more stable than the layup.

In the early days of the NCAA, some of the older academic coaches would indeed require players to use shots to end the offense, including fast breaks and layups are not allowed, they must shoot.

Li Liang set off a retro trend in the alliance.

In the end, this guy is really fickle. He always shoots, but he suddenly changes his mind and uses layups?

Later, James rushed to the basket and also chose a layup, but was interfered by Li Liang's basket defense and missed.

This is very rare, James' ability to finish at the basket has always been extremely strong.

After losing weight and returning to the Cavaliers this season, there was indeed a period of time at the beginning of the season when the finish at the basket was poor, but it has recovered recently. After missing a layup, Thompson followed up and grabbed an offensive rebound, made a tip-up, but was blocked by McGee again!

McGee slapped Thompson from behind and blocked Thompson's layup, and the entire Conseco Arena cheered.

Li Liang controlled the ball and shouted at McGee: "Run! Run!"

McGee ran wildly towards the frontcourt, quickly down, Li Liang first passed the ball to Granger on the flank.

Granger made a diagonal pass from the wing to the middle. McGee leaped high, and after receiving the ball, he stretched his arms lightly and succeeded in picking the basket.

To be honest, McGee's physical talent is really, really good.

Height, wingspan, and jumping are quite scarce in today's NBA.

Even in the 1980s and 1990s when the center was flourishing, he was still a rare and excellent center forward.

It's a pity that in terms of software, there are indeed a lot of bugs.

After the goal, McGee came over to give Li Liang a high-five, and the cooperation between the two was getting better and better.

McGee and Li Liang also felt very happy playing.

Although Li Liang always likes to scold people, including McGee, he always shares a lot of basketball-related experience with McGee.

McGee entered the league earlier than Li Liang, but he felt that Li Liang knew a lot. Sometimes Coach Mike Brown listened to his guidance, which was amazing.

Because of the five embarrassments, McGee is often misunderstood, and there are countless people who laugh at him online.

But since having Li Liang, McGee found that he may have to replace himself in the number of appearances on the top five.

This makes McGee very happy, playing, understanding the ball, and being embarrassing, what a talent.

The Pacers played a wave of counterattacks and gradually opened up the score.

But Irving then assisted with a pass from James on the left wing and hit a three-pointer.

When the team has a person in charge of the overall situation, Irving is still very easy to use as a scoring knife.

His shooting and layup talents are really good. Among the small players in the league, Curry may be better than him.

The two sides started a wonderful confrontation in the second quarter.

The suffocating defensive deadlock was gradually opened up.

Both James and Li Liang have a very high comprehensive level, and they are typical representatives of comprehensive forwards.

Of course, Li Liang is more comprehensive. He can integrate coaches and referees.

The two sides scored all the way to 46:45, and the Pacers still led by 1 point.

The Cavaliers made another personnel adjustment, Irving took a rest, and Paul George came on.

For James, with Irving, he can organize and support more offensively.

With George, James will have less pressure on the defensive end, and at the same time he can attack more with the ball.

It should be said that I would like to thank Li Liang for sending George such a good helper to James.

It can be said that Li Liang single-handedly created the current luxurious striker line of the Cavaliers.

Li Liangcai is not afraid.

After George came on the field, Li Liang was on the outside, and with the help of McGee's cover, he forced a three-pointer.

Li Liang's three-pointer after the screen is different from that of Curry. After all, Curry is limited in height. If he uses the technique of squeezing through the defense, he can interfere with Curry and force Curry to break through with the ball.

Li Liang's three-pointer after the screen is not so easy to defend. The current defense that can be used is two people attacking one after the other to force Li Liang to be unable to make a shot.

In addition, Li Liang's three-point shots are often far away, which makes the big defenders afraid to follow easily.

Li Liang's pull-up ability is not enough, otherwise the difficulty of three-point defense will catch up with Kevin Durant.

Durant doesn't need any cover, he just throws it on your head.

49:45, 4 points is the biggest lead so far in this game.

But immediately, George dribbled the ball on the right and broke through with the ball, went straight to the basket, and hit the board with a throw with his left hand.

It was Granger who was defending George. Granger couldn't keep up with this former little brother.

With three minutes left before the end of the first half, the score was 51:48. The Cavaliers made personnel adjustments again. Blatt replaced rookie Julius Randle and replaced Tristan Thompson with him. .

Thompson needs a break.

Li Liang should have also gone to rest, and replaced West to play the last three minutes.

Li Liang saw that his younger brother was up, how could he get off?

He took the initiative to tell Bird: "Larry, put me on the court, I want to play for a while."

"OK, but I won't overpay you." Byrd said lightly, he could fight as much as he wanted.

Seeing Bird like that, Li Liang really wanted to give him a elbow like he did in the mission, and let him try the stewed iron elbow in Gan's restaurant.

After the timeout ended and he returned to the court, Randall exhaled lightly when he saw that Li Liang was still on the court.

This is the first time he has fought against Li Liang on the field.

In the first match between the two sides before, Randall didn't get a chance to play at all.

After a period of hard work, Randall gained some trust from Blatt.

After all, the Cavaliers' bench is really old, and Randall can provide vitality.

After coming on the court, Randall didn't directly match up with Li Liang. As soon as he got the ball in the offense, he took the initiative to kill at the basket.

Young people must have a drive and dare to challenge their predecessors!

"Beep!"

Randall rushed into the three-second zone, and then Li Liang fell...

Down, the referee blew his whistle and blew him for a charge with the ball!

It turns out that the senior is like this, he will fall when he touches it.

Randall's ball was obviously too reckless, and Blatter shook his head on the sidelines.

Instead, James said to Randall, "Be careful, kid, he's tricky."

Of course James was talking about Li Liang, Li Liang is happy, am I cunning? I'm obviously smart.

Check the time, there are 2 minutes left in the first half.

Li Liang knew that the time to educate Randall was running out.

He immediately called up the [Three-point Shooting Ratio Improvement Sticker] from the system, which was still a 1-minute S-rank.

Then, Li Liang called Scola on the inside to pick and roll.

Randall is facing Scola.

After a pick-and-roll screen, substitutions, Li Liang and Randall one-on-one.

Paul George is also bad, he seems to deliberately put Randall and Li Liang one-on-one.

As a result, Li Liang shot in the head, a three-pointer, and made a "shua" hit.

Randall also looked back at the ball, hollow into the net, without any suspense.

Of course, Li Liang would not waste this 1-minute promotion post.

Immediately, he used the skill [Death Coil] again and knocked down James' ball.

The two scrambled together, the ball went out of bounds, and the Pacers got the ball.

Quick serve from the sideline, still the same routine as before, Scola came over to pick and roll.

Paul George made Randall face Li Liang again, but Li Liang made another three-pointer and scored!

shoot you in the face.

Randall has a face like a pot... oh, he has a face like a pot, black person.

Li Liang said to Randall: "Strengthen your defense, don't just think about scoring."

But Randall wants to pin one on Li Liang's head now.

George missed a jumper from the outside, Randall struggled to grab an offensive rebound, turned around and rushed to the basket.

In the end, before he jumped up, the ball in his hand was knocked off by Li Liang, and he stole the ball again.

Li Liang made a quick counterattack, [Shot into the Soul] gave it to Granger, and Granger stepped in to catch the ball and made a layup.

A wave of 8:0 attacks blinded the Cavaliers at the end of the first half.

Randall, as well as head coach Blatter, were also blinded.

Just now George asked Randall to switch to defend Li Liang with two consecutive goals, which shows that the coach's control over the team is a bit insufficient.
