Chapter 887

Nigeria could not resist Zhong Liliang's crazy attack.

If Li Liang is not counted, even without Yi Jianlian, the strength of the Chinese team and Nigeria is not much different.

Not to mention that Li Liang got Da Zhi's mental bonus at halftime, and he let go of his hands and feet in the third quarter and went crazy.

FIBA's arena and rules are undoubtedly beneficial to shooters like Li Liang.

The court space is smaller, there is no defense for three seconds, there are more zone defenses, and the perimeter defense is stronger.

Some NBA stars are not very adaptable to the international arena.

And like Anthony, a top single player in the NBA because of his lack of comprehensiveness and deficient defense, he killed the Quartet instead.

Because on Team USA he doesn't have to do anything else but score.

Superb shooting skills, various one-on-one singles abilities, and a strong body capable of inside and outside, made him the scoring leader of the US team.

Li Liang may not be as comprehensive as Anthony technically, but functionally speaking, he is an enhanced version of Anthony.

FIBA games are generally difficult to attack, short in time, and low in score.

In a fierce game of equal level, the combined score of both sides will be more than 100 points, and it may be less than 150 points.

It's different from the NBA where the two teams combined easily break 200, and some games are close to 300 in overtime.

Therefore, a very strong shooting scorer like Li Liang can add a lot of firepower to the whole team.

In the 10 minutes of the third quarter, Li Liang scored 17 points, while the Nigerian team only scored 15 points.

When the fourth quarter started, the Chinese team had already led Nigeria by 18 points.

Li Liang looked at the point difference and thought to himself, it's really not enough, Nigeria only leads by 18 points.

For a team like Nigeria, if they play against some strong European teams, it is very common to lose by 20 or 30 points.

In the third quarter, Li Liang's god-like performance, the "king of heaven" medal was lit up, and he only led by 18 points.

The teammates are really not strong enough, the offense can't beat the dog in the water, and the defense is so-so.

The young people of the Chinese team still have a long way to go.

...

In the first game of the Stankovic Cup, the Chinese team successfully defeated Nigeria relying on Li Liang's performance.

However, Li Liang's worries were not unreasonable. After the two games against France and Argentina, it was really not so easy.

In fact, neither Argentina nor France sent the strongest lineup.

Like Argentina, the main veterans such as Ginobili, Delfino, Nocioni and Scola did not come.

And France simply sent the second team over to participate in the competition, generally speaking, they did not pay special attention to the Stankovic Cup.

Of course, if he knew that Li Liang would join the national team, he might have considered sending a stronger lineup when he signed up.

But even if the strongest lineup is not sent, even if the French team is the second team, the Chinese team will not play easily.

Especially in the second game against France, the Chinese team fell behind from the start and was suppressed by the French team.

Li Liang was defended very closely by the French team.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian returned to the team this time, and Li Liang had a more reliable helper.

At the last moment of the game, Li Liang used his experience, first of all, to hit four points from the outside and narrow the point difference to 2 points.

Then he launched traditional art skills, made a steal and counterattack in the middle, succeeded in dunking, and evened the score.

As a result, the second French team was in disarray. After a timeout, the attack missed. Li Liang got a backcourt rebound.

He suppressed the time, and at the same time used the French team's early double-teaming in the offense. After dribbling to get rid of the defense, he successfully distributed the ball to Yi Jianlian at the basket.

Yi Jianlian succeeded in dunking with both hands, helping the Chinese team overtake the score at the last moment.

The familiar plot is staged again.

Li Liang's offensive and defensive passes at critical moments are as stable as Mount Tai.

In the end, the Chinese team narrowly beat the French team by two points at 65:63.

The two teams combined to score 128 points, probably not as much as one team in an NBA game.

After winning France, the third game was against Argentina.

Argentina played very well against Nigeria.

At 71:49, Argentina beat Nigeria by 22 points.

It is enough to show that the strength of this Argentina is still very good.

This time, the Chinese team once again fell into a hard fight.

However, Yi Jianlian played even better this time, making consecutive shots at the beginning.

Driven by Yi Jianlian and Li Liang, the other players of the Chinese team finally got the hang of it.

He hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside and played against Argentina.

At halftime, the Chinese team led Argentina by 11 points.

In the third quarter, Argentina rallied to catch up and once narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

At the critical moment, Li Liang's three-pointer was still unstoppable.

FIBA's three-point line is too friendly for him.

In fact, Li Liang doesn't look at the three-point line at all when shooting.

He only looked at the distance, and if the distance was right, he thought it was okay, so he threw it.

And the farther the distance, sometimes the more accurate the shot.

In the NBA he is two steps away from the three-point line.

When I arrived at FIBA, I often threw it three steps away from the three-point line.

Throw it away and it goes in.

This unreasonable offensive method is an unsolved problem in the NBA, let alone FIBA.

Even if you can get started when defending from the outside, Li Liang doesn't care.

Double-teaming is even less useful. In the system, Li Liang relied on training with Olajuwon and Robertson, grinding little by little, and trying to grind one every time. can finish.

At that time, he will not be afraid of double-teaming even more.

According to the competition system of the Stankovic Cup, the Chinese team, which has won three games and three games, will also compete for the championship with the French team, which has won two games in three games.

This competition system is also wonderful, with a total of four teams playing a single round robin and a ranking match.

For the second time against France, the Chinese team played more smoothly than the previous game.

The other players of the Chinese team slowly began to get used to the tactical system of one shot and four grabs with Li Liang as the core.

In defense, Li Liang's repeated yelling and scolding also had a certain effect.

On the court, a lot of things are conditioned reflexes.

Defending, making up defenses, moving positions, and blocking shots are all the actions of the opponent, and the nerves and muscles can react immediately.

If you want to think, you have to think, or you are slow, or you forget.

In the end, Li Liang broke out and scored 38 points, which is the highest score in a single game of this cup.

Helped the Chinese team defeat the French team by 87:80 and 7 points at the Olympic Sports Center and won the Stankovic Cup.

This cup can be said to have come to a successful conclusion.

Da Zhi retired, Li Liang took over the No. 14 jersey, and the Chinese team won the Sri Lanka Cup for the second time since 2012.

Yao Ming watched the Chinese team win the victory from the sidelines, his face was full of wrinkles with happiness.

His folds can kill a big fly.

The reason why the country reformed the basketball management center and allowed Yao Ming to sit as the chairman of the Basketball Association was to allow Li Liang to join the national team and bring a new atmosphere to the national team.

And the most direct thing is to let the national team have better results.

Basketball is a sport with high public participation, high level of public attention, and high commercial value. The performance of the national team directly affects the development and prosperity of the sports market.

Looking at football, if Chinese football can become stronger, more players can enter the World Cup, and more players can compete in European competitions, then the Chinese football market will definitely develop much better than it is now.

For basketball, which is more important to hug your thighs, of course you have to tightly hug the thickest thighs in the world.

Needless to say, Li Liang was treated after winning the Sri Lanka Cup.

After the game, the national team held a simple celebration party. Li Liang, who rarely drinks alcohol, also drank two glasses.

Going back to my hometown, it is inevitable to participate in some banquets and dinners.

The next day was another group of businessmen, entrepreneurs, and celebrities from Beijing who wanted to gather for dinner.

In the end, it was Yao Ming who came forward and pushed away these tedious and tiring rounds, allowing Li Liangneng to concentrate on self-cultivation and training.

After playing the Sri Lanka Cup, Li Liang stayed in Beijing for a few days.

In fact, Li Liang had never been to Beijing before this.

So he seized the opportunity and spent two days in Beijing with Zhu Shu.

Of course, because the target is too obvious, he will be recognized wherever he goes. Li Liang was played by the people of Beijing for two days.

All kinds of photos, group photos, autographs.

After all, it is the capital, and there is no problem with law and order. Li Liang, who only brought a bodyguard, does not mind taking photos with fans, aunts, and uncles.

After playing and being played like this for two days, the national team is about to embark on a schedule again.

This time, the national team is going to Li Liang's base camp - the United States.
