Streetball Showdown: Liu Chang's Gritty 21-Point Performance Leads Beijing X to Thrilling 83-82 Win
The Art of Winning Ugly
When the final buzzer sounded at Beijing’s Streetball King tournament, the stat sheet told two stories: a grim 14⁄5 shooting night for Liu Chang… and a game-high 21-point tally that secured Beijing X’s 83-82 victory. As someone who’s analyzed everything from Champions League finals to pickup games in Madrid’s Plaza Mayor, I’ve learned efficiency comes in many forms.
Free Throw Alchemy Liu’s box score reads like a basketball Rorschach test - purists see inefficient volume shooting (35.7% FG), tacticians recognize elite foul-drawing worthy of prime Manu Ginóbili. His 11⁄12 free throws accounted for over half his points - including the game-sealing bucket with 8 seconds left. That’s not luck; that’s studying defenders’ tendencies like a chess grandmaster.
Defensive Puppetry
The real magic? Liu baited three and-1 opportunities despite his cold streak. Watch the tape (yes, I reviewed grainy livestream footage like it was UEFA tactical cam): each drive incorporated subtle shoulder dips and delayed releases to initiate contact. My Spanish abuelo would call this “picardía” - that unteachable streetball IQ separating competitors from winners.
Crunchtime Ice Down 80-79 with 0:23 remaining, Liu rejected a timeout call Euroleague-style, instead isolating against rookie defender Wang Lei. His hesitation crossover drew a clear-path foul - two made FTs plus possession. Calculated aggression reminiscent of Luka Dončić’s late-game calculus for Slovenia.
Final thought: Sometimes beautiful basketball wears work boots. Liu’s line should be studied by any guard needing to impact games on off-nights.

Free Throw Alchemist Strikes Again
Liu Chang turning a 35.7% shooting night into 21 points is like watching someone cook a gourmet meal with just a microwave. That 11⁄12 from the line? Pure sorcery - probably studied free throws more than I studied for my stats finals.
Defensive Bait Masterclass Those three and-1 plays had more acting than a Hollywood set. If basketball doesn’t work out, Liu’s got a future in method acting (Oscar for ‘Best Flopping’ incoming).

¡Menuda actuación de Liu Chang!
El tipo convirtió un partido feo en pura poesía callejera. 21 puntos con un 35% en tiros… pero esos 11⁄12 en libres son dignos de una masterclass de picardía baloncestística.
Defensa hipnotizada Tres jugadas and-1 bailando como si estuviera en el Clásico Barça-Madrid. ¡Hasta mi abuelo catalán gritó “olé” viendo sus fintas!
Para cerrar: ese robo de pelota final fue más frío que el gazpacho en enero. ¿Eficiencia? No. ¿Corazón? ¡Como la selección española en su mejor día!

Dari Jakarta ke Beijing: Pelajaran Streetball ala Liu Chang
Liu Chang buktiin kalau main jelek pun bisa menang! FG 35.7%? Gak masalah selama bisa bikin lawan frustasi dengan free throw 11⁄12. Kayak tukang sihir yang ubah pelanggaran jadi poin!
Licik ala Manu Ginóbili Teknik ‘picardía’-nya bikin pemain muda Wang Lei kelabakan. Shoulder dip + delayed release = and-1! Ini bukan basket, ini pertunjukan sulap di lapangan.
Buat yang sering shooting off-night: tonton rekaman ini! Liu Chang kasih tutorial cara tetap berguna meski sedang tidak mood. Gimana menurut lo? Bisa tiru gaya liciknya?
Гений или везунчик?
Лю Чан превратил плохую игру в победу — 21 очко при 35% попаданий! Это как собрать «Пятёрочку» из продуктов с истекающим сроком годности.
Штрафные как искусство 11⁄12 с линии — точнее, чем метание блинов на Масленицу. Его фолы выглядят так натурально, что судьи аплодируют стоя.
P.S. Где ваш любимый пример «уродливой» победы? Пишите в комменты — устроим баттл тактиков!
‘추잡함’의 미학
류창 선수의 35.7%라는 처참한 슛 성공률을 보고 ‘이건 뭐야?’ 싶었는데… 결승 8초 전 자유투로 경기를 뒤집는 걸 보니 ‘아, 이거구나’ 했어요. 진짜 승리는 화려함이 아니라 이런 ‘추잡함’에서 나오는 거죠!
페인트의 달인
상대 수비수를 유혹하는 류창의 기술은 마치 체스 그랜드마스터 같아요. 어깨를 살짝 떼고 타이밍을 늦춰 파울을 유도하는 모습은 진짜 ‘피카르디아’ 그 자체! 스페인 할아버지도 인정할 만하네요.
여러분도 이런 ‘추잡한’ 승리가 가끔은 필요하지 않나요? 댓글로 의견 남겨주세요!
La magie des lancers francs
Liu Chang a transformé une soirée de tir désastreuse (35% de réussite!) en or pur avec ses 11⁄12 aux lancers francs. C’est comme voir un alchimiste transformer du plomb en trophée!
Picardía à la française
Ses feintes pour provoquer les fautes? Un chef-d’œuvre tactique qui ferait pleurer de joie nos vieux maîtres de pétanque provençale.
Et ce jeu décisif à 8 secondes de la fin? Du pur génie froid - le genre de sang-froid qui manque à notre équipe nationale depuis 2000!
Alors, on reconnaît enfin le vrai streetball IQ ou on continue à parler seulement des paniers?
O Herói das Faltas
Liu Chang não fez 21 pontos com elegância… fez com picardía!
Um jogo de 14⁄5? Sim. Mas 11⁄12 nos lances livres? Isso é arte!
Como dizia o meu avô português: “Quem sabe fingir queda na rua, vence na vida”.
Estratégia de Gênio em Meio ao Caos
Ele não atirou bonito — atirou inteligente. Cada movimento era um enredo de cinema: o ombro baixo, o atraso no chute… era quase como se estivesse jogando xadrez com os defensores.
Vencer com Botas de Trabalho
Não foi um show de belezas — foi uma vitória suja e gloriosa.
Ou seja: às vezes o melhor jogador é aquele que faz tudo errado… mas acerta no fim.
Vocês já viram alguém virar herói com apenas um lance livre? Comentem lá!

- Portugal’s Real Weakness? A Tactical Swap with France Might Be the AnswerAs a data analyst who’s studied every playoff matchup and Euro final, I’ve noticed something odd: Portugal’s long-standing lack of elite forwards isn’t just bad luck—it’s a systemic gap.

Learn how these drills create smarter teammates who anticipate each other's needs, with insights from basketball's similar 'positionless' trends.
