Chapter 795 Extra

For Li Liang, a game lasts more than 30 minutes, and half of the time he faces the opponent's substitute lineup.

Both the matchup strength and tactical quality are worse than the starters. It's no wonder that he can't play easily in this kind of matchup where the top horses run against the bottom horses.

Moreover, in order to get together the Big Three, the Lakers consumed a lot of draft picks and role players, and the bench was full of players signed with a basic salary.

The ones with certain strength are point guards Gary Neal and Brandon Bass.

After the start of the second quarter, Scott replaced Leonard and switched to Love to face Li Liang.

Leonard sat off the court with a blank expression on his face, looking at the court with dull eyes, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

He played against Li Liang for four minutes and scored a total of 1 point, but was led by Li Liang to tie the score.

Playing Li Liang one-on-one was unsuccessful even once, and at the same time the defensive end couldn't defend Li Liang at all.

Leonard himself was also pondering in his heart, obviously Li Liang's singles skills are not top-notch, why is he unable to defend?

Li Liang doesn't have Durant's super tall but still delicate dribbling, nor does he have Kobe's superb hands-on feints.

Leonard is still very confident in defending against Durant, and he can also have an advantage against Kobe in training.

Only this Bruce Lee can't beat him every time.

Because Li Liang never gave Leonard a chance to use his skills to defend himself.

Li Liang will definitely take advantage of the situation, use transitions, use dislocations, screens, and even create psychological advantages.

In short, in front of Li Liang, Leonard has a feeling that he can't exert his strength.

A feeling of frustration filled Leonard's heart.

Of course, it is completely invisible on the face.

In the second quarter, Li Liang was playing on the court, and a line of words floated in front of his eyes - [anger value +20, from Kawhien Leonard].

Li Liang said in his heart, what the hell, this guy really will delay! And hold grudges!

I didn't feel it at the time. After jotting it down in a small notebook, I took the time to draw a circle and curse you.

Li Liang was still in a daze, and Le Fu had already come to get a seat.

Love replaced Leonard, and the Lakers changed their style of play.

After being traded to the Lakers in the summer, Love not only did not lose weight, but further enhanced his muscle mass on the original basis, making himself stronger.

For an inside player, weight is sometimes more important than height.

Without height, you can still rely on skill and strength to run rampant in the paint.

Without weight, it is completely impossible to gain a foothold in the three-second zone, the most fiercely contested place.

Le Fu beat Li Liang with his back, and then found that he couldn't beat him...

In the last game in Oklahoma City, Love felt that he couldn't impress Li Liang at all.

He obviously gained a little more weight, and he is about to become a fat man from a young age. Why can't he beat Li Liang, who was born as a small forward, now?

After pushing for a long time without pushing, Love could only pass the ball to his teammates.

In the end, he missed an outside shot and Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Liang made a long pass to Waiters in the frontcourt.

It's a pity that the pass was too big, and it was intercepted by the Lakers and made a mistake.

Li Liang has this style. In terms of long pass, his level is not as good as Love, but he dares to pass.

Anyway, no one dared to scold him if he made a mistake.

Then, the Lakers took advantage of the cooperation and still tore the defense line inside, and Gary Neal broke through the basket to score.

The biggest problem with the Thunder's second team is the inside defense. Kanter is reliable some of the time, and sometimes off the line.

Fortunately, Kanter's offense is really good.

Li Liang responded from a high position and passed the ball to Kanter who cut inside.

After Kanter received the ball, he made a small hook and scored two points.

The Thunder have one Adams, one Kanter, and two tall and strong insiders.

This configuration is rare in today's NBA.

Then, Love found an opportunity outside and missed a three-pointer.

The same for the Thunder, Waiters didn't make a three-pointer.

The two sides entered a tug-of-war, and the scores rose very slowly.

Li Liang was slightly invisible during this time, as if holding back a big move.

The two sides tied at 35:35 and entered the first official timeout of the second quarter.

During the official timeout, Donovan took the tactical board and prepared to make personnel adjustments.

Because of Kanter's many omissions on the defensive end, he decided to replace Adams.

Li Liang said foul, "Billy, I think we still need to focus on offense. It's time for Kevin to play. You see that he played poorly in the first quarter. Shouldn't he play now to find his status?"

What Li Liang said makes sense.

Donovan hadn't decided yet, Li Liang grabbed a tactical board from Mike Brown and began to draw some tactics for his teammates.

The players in the second team all listened to Li Liang's words, and were willing to concentrate and guide.

Li Liang asked the team to further expand the space, and Li Liang and Durant will form a two-person pick-and-roll combination.

The main body of the Thunder's tactics still revolves around the personal abilities of the Big Three.

Whether Li Liang is with Westbrook or Durant, he can play powerful pick-and-roll cooperation.

This tactic is simple, but very practical. It can be used continuously and adapts to the situation. It is difficult for the opponent to find a countermeasure.

In the last game against the Lakers, Donovan was relatively rigid in his substitutions and didn't seize the opportunity.

Li Liang believes that the advantage should be established in the second quarter, so that the Lakers can be killed directly in the third quarter.

In this season's games, Li Liang doesn't like to delay until the fourth quarter.

Li Liang finished the arrangement, and when the timeout expired, Donovan basically remained silent.

Feeling helpless, he asked Li Liang, "Are you the coach, or am I the coach?"

Li Liang replied: "Of course you are the coach."

"So you know I'm the coach."

"That's right, you are a coach, what's wrong with you asking me to say a few words? You need to rest."

Donovan shook his head helplessly, but he still listened to Li Liang's opinion and let Durant appear on the stage, replacing Singler.

Singler is indeed a laggard sometimes. Facing a strong team like the Lakers, you'd better not have obvious weaknesses.

Sure enough, on the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant made his debut again, and Leonard also came back.

Scott has shortened the rest time of the main players. This is a problem that any team must face when facing the Thunder. The main players must play earlier, otherwise they really cannot play.

With Durant and Li Liang on the court at the same time, the Thunder's offense suddenly became richer.

The huge space on the outside makes it too late for the Lakers' defense to make up for it. There is only Leonard alone, so there is not enough.

The problem of the decline of the Lakers' perimeter defensive mobility has never been resolved as Kobe ages.

When Li Liang was around, the elders of Xuanming were often pierced through, relying solely on offense to make up for it.

Now, Li Liang and Durant have a double blow.

As soon as the timeout came back, Li Liang passed the ball to Durant from the outside, and Durant caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Feel back.

Then, Li Liang blocked Kobe's layup in the interior defense.

In the counterattack, Durant reciprocated and crossed to Li Liang.

Facing Leonard's defense, Li Liang ignored the interference and hit a three-pointer!

Once two three-pointers are scored, the pressure on the Lakers will be great.

In the first quarter, Kobe, who also turned into a super point guard, began to attack by himself.

There is no way, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change, not to mention that Kobe, a country of iron, how could it be so easy to change the color?

Kobe also wanted a three-pointer from the outside, but was blocked by Durant, and he didn't stick to it.

Kanter picked up a rebound, Li Liang counterattacked and lobbed the ball to Durant.

The ball was a little too big, and Durant received the ball in the air, but there was no way to directly attack the basket.

He chose to pass again, and it was passed to Li Liang who was keeping up. Li Liang caught the ball and faced Love, and dunked with one hand!

Li Liang's dunk is occasionally revealing.

But this year, he is definitely not the elementary school student who dunked and dunked like Curry before.

Love was directly knocked out of the baseline by Li Liang. The ball was not considered a foul. It was polite for the referee not to call Love a defensive foul.

After the goal, Li Liang and Durant clapped hands, and the Thunder beat the Lakers 8-0 in 2 minutes.

Seeing the tacit cooperation between the two, it was Westbrook's turn to feel uncomfortable.

Why do you feel like I'm superfluous?
