Chapter 700 Hitting Your Uncharted Territory

There are special staff in the NBA who conduct research on how to effectively defend a certain player.

Especially for star players, all his offensive habits will be carefully studied by videographers and coaches, and then targeted training will be carried out during training.

Even so, many stars are still able to play super performance in the game.

On the one hand, it shows that basketball is still an offensive game, and the defense will not completely block a person.

On the one hand, it shows that many superstars are really very, very strong. They can get a salary of 20 million or 30 million because the maximum salary is only so much.

Like Michael Jordan, the salary of one person is equivalent to that of a team, which is still less to be honest.

Of course, there are also people like Li Liang who get very little salary because he only wants to get so much.

The league's research on Li Liang has long been a must-have course for every team, but it's a pity that many video researchers still haven't figured it out—how does this guy play?

It's like the blogger on Youtube who organizes Li Liang's various lucky balls. Anyway, he thinks Li Liang is amazing.

There is no trace of a real master.

If there are any rules, it is that at least this guy is right-handed, and his breakthroughs are basically on the right side.

Li Liang's breakthrough is relatively average, mainly relying on his three-point ability, which can create opportunities for his own breakthrough.

With the two double-teaming, Li Liang's breakthrough was basically useless.

For example, when facing the Celtics, Stevens often used the routine of blocking the right and letting the left. If you go from the left and someone comes to help defend, Li Liang will either pass the ball or shoot directly.

Of course, it's actually quite scary for him to vote directly. It's better to let him jump if you are more accurate.

James basically followed this principle when defending Li Liang, mainly defending his right hand.

James himself is left-handed, but shoots with his right.

So James' left-handed breakthrough is very powerful, with both left and right balanced.

When he played against the Pacers in 2013, he used his left hand for the layup lore.

Judging from all Li Liang's previous games, this guy has basically never made a breakthrough with his left hand.

When he was in the Lakers, he didn't even have a breakthrough. In the Clippers, he improved a lot. In the Pacers, it is a relatively common offensive method, but the left hand still doesn't feel good.

Now, what Li Liang is fighting is the opponent's unknown territory.

The timeout ended, the two sides re-emerged, leading by 4 points.

The task of the Cavaliers in the first half was to bite the score and let the game enter a dogfight. At the last critical moment, the Cavaliers had three points, while the Pacers only had one reliable point.

The 4-point advantage is obviously too small for the Pacers.

Serving in the frontcourt, Li Liang catches the ball at the top of the arc.

At the moment of catching the ball, Li Liang suddenly started!

It was really very sudden. James didn't even expect that Li Liang would suddenly choose to break through from the middle. The key point was that he used his left hand!

James is obviously defending Li Liang's right hand in his position, leaving the left side free.

As a result, Li Liang went all the way to the basket with the ball and made a layup with his left hand, which also caused a foul by Mozgov!

Raid!

Li Liang's surprise attack caught the knight by surprise.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line, thinking, should I take off the props?

Virtual props can be put on and taken off at any time, whether it is [Man of Steel] or [Blindness Detector], [God's Left Hand] is of course no exception, it is just an invisible glove, what is God's left hand.

After thinking about it, I still can't take it off, which is troublesome.

I just use my left hand to punish, what's wrong?

Let you see and see what it means to be left and right.

Li Liang used this prop during training, and apart from feeling a little uncomfortable psychologically, he basically didn't feel any disobedience, and he indeed became a left-handed person.

He is more proficient at dribbling with his left hand, and he is used to jumping with his right foot. He is basically a mirror image of himself.

It's weird, but unexpected.

Li Liang took the ball from the referee, then shot with his left hand and made the free throw.

The fans at the scene were shocked, this guy can still be left-handed?

The players on the Cavaliers side all looked incredible.

To say that in daily training, it is nothing at all for a non-left-handed player to shoot a basket with his left hand.

Many players can play left and right.

But when it comes to the official competition, it can still be done in the playoffs, which is really not ordinary.

Byrd was very calm, thinking that this kid actually imitated me?

Yes, as long as he is a little awesome, he will learn from you and be like you.

But Bird did do this kind of thing. In his peak season in 1986, he was asked by a reporter, "Can your left hand be as accurate as your right hand?"

Then in the game against the Trail Blazers, he fully demonstrated his excellent left-handed skills, and nearly half of his points came from the left hand. (He scored 47 points in that game)

Li Liang just scored three points, what's so great about it?

At 43:36, the Pacers regained a 7-point advantage.

Seeing Li Liang hit a free throw with his left hand, James couldn't help shaking his head.

What kind of fairy is this TM?

Subsequently, the Pacers adopted the same defensive strategy against James as they did against George in defense, that is, a sudden double-team.

The Pacers have always been man-to-man defense, but this sudden double-teaming will make opponents uncomfortable and make mistakes.

Of course, James was very calm. He quickly threw the ball to George at the top of the arc. George made a three-pointer but missed.

The Pacers took the rebound and gave it to Li Liang again.

Li Liang walked to the right and pushed forward with McKee.

It's still a left-handed breakthrough-he is now a left-hander, and he goes straight to the basket in the middle!

Then he threw a pass with his left hand, McGee dunked with both hands under the basket, and the alley-oop succeeded!

The Cavaliers retreated fast enough, but Li Liang broke through with his left hand, which made the defenders do not know how to defend, and finally missed McGee.

At 45:36, the point difference came to 9 points again.

The knight's situation became critical in an instant.

Immediately after James hit the ground and passed the ball to Thompson who was running down, Thompson's throw was blocked by McGee with a volleyball cap!

Hill took the ball and launched a counterattack, and quickly found Li Liang who was about to play.

Li Liang catches the ball from the right corner, this time he can no longer shoot with his left hand, and he will be exposed if he shoots again.

Take back the props, after catching the ball, before James defends him, make a quick shot and hit a three-pointer!

His ability to catch transitions in counterattacks is really the top in the league.

To put it bluntly, he is still confident enough in his shooting.

As soon as the ball was hit, the point difference suddenly opened to 12 points, and the Cavaliers called a timeout.

Li Liang used the prop [God's Left Hand] to play a deceptive role.

In fact, only one or two goals played a role in the game, but the change to the whole situation was significant.

It's like some experienced referees blowing off one or two balls at certain nodes may be able to change the trend of the game.

As is the case with high-level basketball, the devil is in the details.

Li Liang knew that God's left hand had achieved its function and could be put away for the time being.

When the point difference between the two sides reached 12 points, the situation changed.

The Pacers can play more easily, can better control the rhythm, and press time.

And the Cavaliers did not fall into a panic. What they have to do is not to further expand the point difference. First of all, they must stabilize their defense.

Blatter immediately made adjustments, the first is to let George help Owen to defend Hill.

Owen's point is really one step away, let him continue to defend, the outside line is too much.

Then, James still stood up and caught the ball with his back on the left to force Li Liang.

He found that Li Hao seemed to be stronger than others?

However, James still used the difficult back jumper in the middle to score 2 points.

The two sides entered a stalemate again in the latter part of the second quarter.

By the end of the first half, the battle between the two sides was 58:48. The Pacers led the Cavaliers by 10 points and entered the intermission.

Li Liang didn't foul again in the second quarter. He was very careful on the defensive end, even if James was caught a few times, it didn't matter.

Staying on the court is the most important thing, and the third quarter of the decision is about to begin.
