After Li Liang came out of the system, he didn't even have time to check the rewards and the panel, and went straight out of the system to sleep.

He was really tired. He spent a lot of energy and energy on this task.

When I first did the "King of Three Points" mission, it was a little more difficult and laborious than this one.

After finishing, Li Liang immediately fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until noon the next day, when I was woken up by a knock on the door.

Li Liang woke up in a daze. He felt his mouth was dry, his stomach was hungry, and he wanted to eat very much.

Opening the door, Bai Xiaoting stood at the door, "What time is it? Don't you need to train today? What did you do last night? I called you several times in the morning before I got up."

Li Liang yawned and rubbed his stomach, "Do you have anything to eat? You can also get me a glass of water. I'm hungry."

"Are you not hungry if you don't have breakfast?"

Bai Xiaoting gave Li Liang a roll of her eyes, then went downstairs and brought Li Liang lunch.

Beef burritos, prosciutto, baguettes, fresh milk, purple cabbage... Bai Xiaoting's dishes are more Western-style.

Li Liang didn't care about Western or Chinese food, he just stuffed everything into his mouth and finished it in a while.

"After eating, is there anything left?" Li Liang asked.

"One more thing, I'll get it for you...did you steal something last night?"

Bai Xiaoting found it strange that Li Liang had done this more than once.

He sleeps until dawn, and when he wakes up, he is reincarnated as a starving ghost and can eat a cow.

I have almost eaten all the food in the refrigerator. This is enough for Zhu Shu to buy for a week.

Li Liang was satisfied and felt that his whole body was full of energy again!

Look at the time, it's already noon, and there is training today.

Li Liang quickly packed up and drove to Toyota Center.

NBA training is different from what most people imagine. It stands to reason that training in this top league in the world should be very cruel.

In fact, no, cruelty or not is entirely up to the player's choice.

Team training usually starts at 10-11 am, with a lunch break in between, and ends at 1-2 pm.

As for how to arrange the time from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. and after training, it all depends on the players themselves.

If you want to practice more, practice more, and if you want to spend a lot of time, then spend a lot of time.

This is also why there is a phenomenon of "contract year" players.

Some players just play whatever they want after receiving big contracts. Anyway, they still have contracts, and they still have to be paid if they are fired.

When the contract is about to expire, train seriously again, brush up the data on the field, and strive for the next contract for yourself.

Once you get a new contract, you can continue paddling.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that the team is a commercial organization, and players can just complete their jobs as employees.

Whether to work overtime and whether to improve yourself is all your personal choice and has little to do with the team.

Unless you are a potential new star, the team deliberately wants to train you.

The Lakers would like to cultivate someone like Li Liang, but Li Liang won't give him a chance!

Not to mention being late for training, sometimes he is not happy to arrange a personal trainer and make a training plan for him.

Except for staying in the evening to challenge Kobe Bryant, he did not participate in any of the Lakers' other rookie training activities.

When it comes to training, he always does it by himself.

Okay, if you don’t want to participate, then don’t participate. As a result, he got better and better as he played.

Even Kobe couldn't help but ask Li Liang, how do you usually train?

Li Liang’s answer is simple, sleep more!

If you wake up at four o'clock in the morning every day, you are staying up late.

Staying up late is not good for your health. If you are not in good health, you will not be able to play well.

From then on, Kobe never asked Li Liang this question again.

I believe you as a ghost.

Li Liang drove to the arena in a hurry. The training was already halfway through.

Li Liang saw Howard practicing on the court and missing three games. Is he okay?

When Mike Brown saw Li Liang, he said, "I'll have to change clothes earlier in the future."

Brown is like a kind and tolerant class teacher who doesn't care if students with good grades in the class are late.

Li Liang went to the locker room to change clothes and warmed up alone on the sidelines.

He asked Brown: "Is Dwight going to come back? He's only had three games off."

Brown said: "It depends on the situation. He said he can participate in training, but the situation is not very optimistic."

Li Liangdao: "It's just that we lost a few games. There is no need to fight with injuries. We will definitely win the next game."

Brown glanced at it and thought, "You will win if you say you will win?"

With four consecutive losses, the pressure on Brown's shoulders is still quite heavy.

In fact, losing is inevitable. How can any team not lose?

Besides, the Lakers' losses in these past few games were all due to no fault of war. They were really injured and no one could use them anymore.

Even after losing four games in a row, their record still ranks first in the league.

What was the purpose of winning those games earlier? Isn't it just for capital and confidence when health problems arise?

But the Los Angeles media was a little impatient, and the management was a little impatient too.

When Howard had a serious shoulder injury and his back injury was not recovering well, they were all putting pressure on him.

The Los Angeles media is supportive, saying that Howard's current importance to the Los Angeles Lakers may be far beyond people's imagination, "When Superman is no longer around, we will miss the giant in the three-second zone."

At the same time, various parties are also discussing whether the Lakers can break the Bulls' historical record of 72 wins and 10 losses.

After four consecutive losses, it seemed unlikely.

But it can also hit 70 wins and break the Lakers' own team record.

On the contrary, the Lakers management was suppressing him. Buss didn't know what was wrong with him. He probably read an editorial in a newspaper in Los Angeles or saw a fan's post on a forum. He actually thought that Howard was cheating.

possible.

So he put pressure on Howard through Mike Brown and Kupchak, thinking he should come back to play.

Bass Jr. has never acted like a businessman, always acting emotionally.

If you like something, you will be particularly fond of it, and if you don't like it, you won't care much, and you will not care about objective facts.

He doesn't have the open-minded and ruthless businessman temperament of his father at all, and he easily acts on his whim.

In fact, Buss doesn't hate Howard. On the contrary, he thinks Howard is the future of the Lakers.

But his idea is that you are the future of the Lakers, and at this time you have to stand up.

Damn it, if he can stand up, how can he not stand up? He really can’t stand up.

Brown seemed hesitant to put Howard on the roster.

The pressure from the media and Bass's attitude are on the one hand.

He also wanted to see the attitudes of other players and what Kobe, Nash and Ci Shiping thought.

Players like Kobe and others who entered the NBA in the 1990s still have a lot of the temperament of old-school players.

Playing through injuries is a piece of cake for them.

Nash was injured at the time, and if Li Liang hadn't persuaded him, he would have tied his knee pads and continued playing.

If that's the case, Nash's recovery from injury will be even slower.

Therefore, they have no objection to whether Howard returns.

Whether you agree or disagree, if you can fight, it means there is no problem, so go ahead and fight.

After all, after losing four games in a row, a blind person could see that it was because of the lack of Howard.

He always loses and feels bad. Kobe's face has become a lot worse these days.

Brown finally waited for Li Liang, and he really wanted to hear Li Liang's thoughts.

This guy has a big mouth, and the whole world dares to scold him when he gets angry. He also has a good relationship with every player, so his opinions are still very important.

Brown didn't seem to agree with what Li Liang meant.

Brown added: "The team doctor thinks the problem is not big, so he or she may or may not..."

"Then I won't go!" Li Liang said directly without waiting for Brown to finish.
