Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 873 Continuous output from the sidelines
After Gordon reappeared, the Kings' defensive intensity did not drop at all. There was always someone watching next to James, especially Covington and Gordon. One of the two was always next to James.

Li Tian sat on the sidelines and observed the situation on the court from a coach's perspective.

Harden held the ball and made a breakthrough gesture from outside the three-point line.

Shumpert also stepped forward and came to Harden's side.

Using the body to squeeze through Shumpert's defense is to create his own offensive space.

Gordon is also very smart. He didn't even think about picking and rolling. Instead, he led James and ran towards the other side, which gave James a dilemma.

Without him, do you chase or not chase? If you chase, the defensive intensity of the strong side will drop a lot. James is all the Cavaliers have; if you don’t chase, then Gordon will have open opportunities, and the Kings’ passing ability is also [-] out of [-]. powerful.

With players like Lillard and Harden, the assist ability is definitely not inferior to any team.

After Harden finished his fake step back, Shumpert immediately jumped up, shook off the defense, and headed towards the basket.

Mozgov was dumbfounded. Should he step forward now or continue to stare at Cousins.

"It's too difficult for me!" Mozgov roared in his heart. This was too painful. During this hesitation, Harden stopped and shot from mid-range.

Helping the team expand the point difference to more than 10 points, the point difference of 35:46 finally widened to a safe distance, and Li Tian's heart relaxed a little.

Just when the Cavaliers called a timeout, they still made some changes to the lineup.

"Gobert, please replace Covington and let him take a rest. After Gobert comes on the court, continue to strengthen the defense and don't give your opponent a chance to score easily in the paint."

This is a risky decision. If it is against the Warriors, the loser will definitely be the Kings, but against the Cavaliers, especially the Cavaliers who have lost Love and Irving, and the two-tower lineup inside, the Cavaliers can definitely be defeated.

James has developed some three-pointers, but the stability of the three-pointers is really worrying!
Especially today's game, it's called a bad one. Gordon tried to let James go three times, but when he was open, he didn't hit any of them!

Because of this, he really dared to try to leave James outside the three-point line.

"Once James regains his outside touch, he must resolutely double-team and don't give him a chance to take an easy shot. Let him distribute the ball to his teammates to score!"

"Then."

Li Tian's tactical arrangement is, as always, focused on defense. Just look at the Kings' current lineup. Lillard, Harden, Gordon, Gobert, Cousins, Lillard and Harden's defense are all good. Strengthen accordingly.

The most important thing is that after Li Tian came to the Kings, he implanted defense into the bones of the team.If anyone is careless on the defensive end during the game, after the game, practice extra + treat everyone to a meal + corporal punishment!

No matter who it is, this matter cannot be allowed. After the one-month punishment at the beginning of the season, no one dares to relax in defense.

Among them, Harden is the one who has been punished the most. Because of this, Harden is still suspended for one game in the team. It is announced that Harden is unwell. The specific number of games he has missed needs to be tracked!
After one game, Harden gave in and corrected his defensive attitude.

"Shaq, you are right. Lee's talent in coaching is definitely not weaker than any coach!" Barkley couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Haha, Li is a treasure. I won't say more about his performance on the court. He can also play from the 1st to the 5th position. He will not be worse than any player in any position in the league. .

In terms of training, he has training experience that is ahead of many trainers; everyone can also see his coaching ability today! "

O'Neill must have felt that he was discovering more and more.

James didn't rest for a minute. He played the entire game and took 1 shots, but he only scored 35 points. If you don't look at the number of shots, his data is definitely better than anyone else.

39分16篮板11助攻的三双数据，但命中率差到离谱，35投11中命中率仅有31%。

Harden, on the other hand, set a new single-game scoring record in the Finals with a double-double of 41 points and 13 assists; Lillard also hit several consecutive three-pointers at the last minute, sending the Cavaliers to the crematorium.

"Boss, we won!"

At the end of the game, the Kings finally won a finals victory. Harden jumped up excitedly and gave Li Tian a wave of hugs!

Taylor next to him looked at Harden and wanted to kick him out if he wasn't trying to maintain his ladylike image.

"Get out of here, you guy, you're covered in stinky sweat, but I'm also very happy, after all, I didn't get sent off this time, it's just these statistics!"

Li Tian was very helpless. He definitely had no chance to win the Finals MVP this season. The data from the first two games were 21 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds in the first game, and 15 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds in the second game.

Even though the playing time is pitiful, the data is not bad at all.

It's just that when the time comes for MVP voting, his data will definitely not have a chance to be obtained, because compared with Harden, the gap between him is really huge. "Coach Li, if you don't want me to be the head coach, I'll give it to you." Tyronn Lue said with a smile in the locker room.

If it weren't for his humility, there would be no other way, and there would still be some gap between the two in their ability to teach.He also knows that his ability to hit chicken blood is indeed better than Li Tian, ​​but there is still some gap in his understanding of players and their use.

"Coach, if I become the head coach, what are you going to do?" He said this smoothly.

"Then I will be your assistant coach. Anyway, I was also an assistant coach before. At most, I will get back to my original shape!" Tyronn Lue is very single. Anyway, he was promoted from assistant coach.

"Forget it, your salary is really too low, I really don't like it!"

Tyronn Lue also knows that it's not that people don't like him, but they really don't want to steal his fouls. After knowing his shortcomings, he also plans to strengthen his abilities in this area during the offseason.

"Boss, hurry up and the press conference is about to start!" Harden said and was about to drag Li Tian to the press conference.

"I won't go. I don't have the face to go. My data is too low, so I won't go so as not to be disliked by my opponents!" He waved his hand and drove Harden out. Harden really needs to see the world. .

Last season, although he was the boss of the team, this was a press conference in the finals, and it was a press conference with so many problems for the team.

"Harden, why are you the only one attending the press conference?" The reporters all looked around and after waiting for a moment, they found that no one came out again, so they were sure that Harden was the only one.

"Well, I bet everyone that I can definitely finish the press conference alive, so I can only"

Harden also started talking nonsense. The reporter was stunned and suspected that his ears were broken, but finally chose to believe it.

"During the head coach's suspension, Lee committed five fouls early and was unable to continue playing. The Kings can still win this game. Can you tell me the reason?" the reporter asked again.

"Well, this is all the result of the efforts of all teammates, Lillard, Cousins, Gordon, Gobert," Harden said to everyone on the team.

"They tried their best to help the team, so in the end we won the game!"

"Why didn't Li attend the press conference?" The reporter must ask and must not hold it back.

"Well, maybe, he felt that he didn't perform well and didn't score more than 20 points, so he felt too embarrassed!"

Oh, the reporters were shocked. They were too embarrassed to attend the press conference if they scored less than 20 points. Who could not know why he didn't attend the press conference? It was definitely because he didn't want to be interviewed. He didn't want reporters to ask him why he didn't appear again after committing five crimes. Why are you holding a tactical board on the sidelines? He's like the head coach.

"Li didn't play in the second half and was on the sidelines as a part-time head coach. Can you elaborate?" The reporter followed closely and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"No, no, he just felt that the tactics were annoying, so he picked them up, just too many times!" Harden is a considerate person who never plays according to the routine.

"Are there any questions? If there are no questions, then this press conference is over!" The Kings staff also immediately looked for opportunities for Harden to escape.

In the finals series, the big score came to 1:1, and the entire Kings team flew to Cleveland together.

After G3 started, Li Tian was still in trouble and received 5 fouls early.

He took off his jersey again, then put on the suit prepared on the sidelines, skillfully picked up the tactical board, and once again replaced Tyronn Lue, who was suspended and unable to come to the sidelines.

Watching Harden running wildly on the court, he definitely worked hard on the defense just now. He was hanging on James to get an excellent opportunity for Cousins ​​​​who came to defend against the basket.

James' layup was slapped away. The referee was also afraid of making things worse at this time and did not dare to continue calling Cousins ​​for interference with the ball. The referee last time was almost hung on the wall.

Almost without any danger, at the Cavaliers' home court, they won a victory and regained their home court advantage!
"The Kings are really strong!" Smith couldn't help but sigh. Even if Li Tian couldn't appear on the court, he could still win and the Cavaliers led by James played a long game.

"Well, it feels really good to be a coach!" Tyronn Lue was very happy. Harden was sent out to attend the press conference again, but this time he was no longer alone, and Lillard was also thrown out.

"No, I'm really helpless sitting on the sidelines. Sitting is too tiring. Playing on the court is my favorite!"

Coaching is good, but not his favorite position.

"Haha, in the next game, I will be the head coach. I'm still worried about you taking my job." Tyronn Lue can't worry about that. He finally got the head coaching job and led the team to the finals.

Even if he wins the championship this time, for him, the gold content is still a little bit lower. Without him, because Li Tian has replaced him in two games, the fans' praise will definitely be placed on Li Tian.

As a player, you can do the job of a head coach and lead the team to victory. As a real head coach, you still lost the game you played. Isn't it embarrassing?
