532: Lu Zi’s strongest tactic(1/3)
Although Li Ang scored 14 points in the first quarter, Wade was not worried.
After all, he has raised the bar to 40.
Judging from the Clippers' offensive performance in the first quarter, the possibility of Li Ang getting 40 should only be 50%. To put it bluntly, 8 is too likely.
Don't talk about 40 points, whether it can be 30 or not is a matter of opinion.
Yes, Li Ang scored 14 points in one quarter, but it is impossible to score 14 points in every quarter, right?
Don't you see Duncan often scoring 15 points in the first half and 2 points in the second half?
Don't be afraid, Thief Li can't possibly surpass me!
I can only say that Wade is too naive. Duncan controls the ball with his right hand and uses his left hand to score 17 points. Can he be the same as Li Ang?
But indeed, Li Ang admitted that it was really difficult to score today.
As a coach who has devoted himself to studying defense for more than ten years, Van Gundy's understanding of defense can be said to have reached the level of proficiency.
No matter how strong a scorer is, there are limits, and scoring goals is also a physical job.
Very few people can guarantee stable output while taking a large number of shots throughout the game.
How does that old saying come from? One attack hurts, two attacks numb, three attacks and four attacks keep slipping. Five attacks close the eyes, six attacks clench the teeth, seven attacks and eight attacks the body is exhausted!
When a player attacks several times in a row, his body will also become weak!
Of course, Van Gundy knew that Liang was physically capable, but no matter how physical he was, he would definitely be physically exhausted under such a terrible defense from the Magic.
Scarlett Johansson may not be able to drain Leon out, but Orlando's double Howard combination will definitely allow Leon to experience what it means to have nothing left.
Didn’t Li Ang always dream of sleeping together and flying together? I’ll satisfy you today!
The second quarter restarted, and this quarter it was the Clippers who took the lead in attacking.
When Li Ang took possession of the ball, the Magic still did not double-team or assist in defense, and were all man-to-man defense.
Josh Howard, on the other hand, stayed close to Li Ang and did not give him any space to shoot, forcing Li Ang to break through.
This tactic is indeed vicious. It cuts off Li Ang's passing route. Li Ang can either shoot against the defense or break through the inside to face Howard.
Although the Magic's defense was very targeted, Li Ang did not surrender. Instead, he used a change of direction to create a little space and then made a jump shot.
The moment Li Ang shot, both Howards raised their arms and rushed forward. Needless to say, the defense of these two people was really fast.
Fortunately, Li Ang shot quickly enough, otherwise the ball might have been interfered with.
Li Ang hit 2 points as soon as he started, helping the team narrow the point difference to only 1 point.
But Van Gundy was not in a hurry, this was just another superstar ball, and Li Ang did not actually get a chance.
If the fight continues like this, it will be a matter of time before Li Ang is defended.
In this way, Li Ang and the Magic started a tug-of-war.
In every round, Li Ang faced almost the strictest defense.
Josh Howard played extremely seriously today. He even took the initiative to become invisible on the offensive end and devoted all his energy to the defensive end.
In the past few years, Josh Howard was really abused by Leon. Although the core of the Magic team back then was still these few people, because they were still young, there was no way to deal with Leon.
Now that he has the ability, Josh Howard must let Leon pay with blood.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't score today, but Li Ang will die!
Although the offense was very difficult, Li Ang still maintained extremely high efficiency in the second quarter.
At the end of the second quarter, the Magic only led by 5 points despite the excellent shooters, because Li Ang scored 28 points in the half!
Yes, Li Ang was stunned because he also scored 14 points in the second quarter. One quarter only lasted 12 minutes. If you score 1 point per minute, you can only score 12 points in one quarter.
However, under the pursuit and interception of the double Howard combination, Li Ang actually scored 28 points in the half.
To be honest, Van Gundy has great admiration.
Li Ang is indeed one of the players with the strongest scoring ability currently.
But then again, Li Ang's offense was so strong in the first half... The Magic were still leading by 5 points.
Facts have proved that Van Gundy's strategy is effective.
As long as Li Ang doesn't lead his teammates and faces the Magic's defense alone, he can only hold on to the score.
It is simply unrealistic to want to overtake the lead.
After the start of the third quarter, Li Ang quickly scored his 30th point of the game.
It broke people's doubts before the game that Li Ang could not score 30 points today.
However, many people still don't believe that Li Ang can surpass Wade in scoring.
Because after half the third quarter, Li Ang's scoring efficiency began to decline.
Today's game is inherently intense, and Li Ang takes a lot of shots, so the consumption is greater than in ordinary games.
Under such circumstances, you have to face close defense almost every round, so it is normal for your efficiency to decline.
Although Li Ang's efficiency has not dropped too much, it is not close to Kobe.
But even so, it will be difficult to bite the Magic.
Because the Magic's shooters have been working non-stop, if you decline and others continue to score goals, even if it only declines a little, the score will gradually widen.
In the last attack of the third quarter, because Li Ang had hit the iron twice in a row from the mid-range before, this time he chose to directly break through the inside.
After getting rid of Josh Howard, Li Ang went straight to the inside. At this time, Duncan had already pulled Howard to the mid-range position, and the only one the Magic could help defend was Turkoglu.
But when Li Ang reached the basket, as expected, Howard flashed into the penalty area again.
Li Ang is capable of passing the ball to Duncan, but now there is no time to pass the ball to Li Ang.
And Li Ang doesn't have a strong pull-up layup ability, so Li Ang can only choose to throw the board high and repeat his old tricks.
But this time the basketball did not successfully pass Howard's five fingers. He jumped hard and violently slapped the basketball thrown by Li Ang into the stands at a very scary height!
This is Howard's first block for Li Ang today. Although the game was difficult before, Howard never blocked Li Ang once.
But at this time, Li Ang was still fooled by Howard, and Li Ang still couldn't escape the clutches of Howard at his peak today.
The moment the block was completed, the third quarter officially ended.
Li Ang scored another 10 points in the third quarter, which at first glance seemed to be similar to the first two quarters.
But Li Ang's shooting percentage in the third quarter was lower than that in the first two quarters.
And Howard, counting this time, he has already built 6 risks today!
Of course, most of them are covering Dumb~
He is worthy of being the man who ranks first in blocked shots in history.
After the third quarter, the Clippers were 7 points behind!
Although the gap is not big, the Clippers are actually losing points in every quarter.
As long as the Magic cycle does this again in the fourth quarter, the game will be over!
After Li Ang came off the field, he was very helpless. Damn, Howard's physical ability in saving souls is about the same as mine!
It's already the third quarter, and he can still fly into the sky and escape from the ground and flash into the restricted area in an instant.
The Clippers are very passive now because they see that this one-on-one move won't work.
Duncan also took risks today and has only scored 14 points so far.
etc......
14 points may seem like a small number, but in fact Duncan scored 3 more points in the fourth quarter and it was 17 points!
It turns out that Dumb is the biggest winner!
Li Ang doesn’t know who the god of point guard is, but the god of point guard must be me.
The future Brother Zui turned out to be following the great Tim Duncan.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dunleavy once again asked his smart assistant coach for help, and Lu Zi still said the same old saying: "Give the ball to Li Ang in the fourth quarter."
Dunleavy was speechless, Damn, you are just a complete loser like me!
Fortunately, Ballmer now intends to let Dunleavy focus on the job of general manager. It is very likely that Tyronn Lue will be the head coach next season, allowing Dunleavy to be the general manager with peace of mind.
As long as Dunleavy persists for one more year, he will be able to get rid of the embarrassing situation of not knowing what to say during the pause.
Seeing Dunleavy looking at him with disgust, Lu Zi waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood. Giving the ball to Li Ang today is different from giving the ball to Li Ang in normal times!"
After Lu Zi finished speaking, he confidently picked up the tactical board.
At this time, the Clippers fans sitting in the front row will probably be very surprised.
Because they saw...the Clippers were actually arranging tactics in a serious way!
See you soon!
After the break, both Li Ang and Duncan looked at Lu Zi in surprise.
To be continued...
