After playing against the Thunder on the 11th, Li Liang entered the system at night.

He did not start Duncan's mission directly, he wanted to save this mission until tomorrow.

He entered the dimension of [Tactical Literacy] and opened the [Double-team] item in [Basic Defensive Tactics].

Li Liang's score is OK in this item, 45, after all, I have practiced in Kentucky.

On the plane to Houston that day, Li Liang was doing this mission.

【Does the task continue?】

【yes.】

[Task: Coach Don Huggins' double-team training course, task content: Complete 5-hour double-team training course, task reward: double-team awareness and ability 15, get one special item. Task difficulty: Normal]

This coach Don Huggins is the leading actor in the movie "The Road to Glory" and the first coach to use all-black starters to play NCAA games.

In 1966, when the racial confrontation was serious, the main players of the West Texas United team he led were all blacks.

They made incredible breakthroughs into the NCAA finals that year, defeating the opponent composed of an all-white lineup, Li Liang's alma mater, University of Kentucky.

That year, Pat Riley, the "foul king", was the background emperor in the Kentucky formation.

This champion has a crucial historical significance in the history of American basketball development.

Of course, Li Liang knew all these things, and he knew even more that West Texas United won the game that year by defense.

The fierce physical confrontation of black players and the ubiquitous double-teaming made Kentucky lose his offense in the finals.

At that time, Kentucky head coach Adolf Rupp was also a defensive master, and he was good at one-on-one-marking defense.

Black players are faster and stronger, and they move around everywhere.

The Kentucky scorer was double-teamed and finally lost the game.

What Li Liang needs to learn is the awareness and technology of double-teaming.

This is his fifth time in the course. Coach Don Huggins is still very young, and of course he is not as handsome as in the movie.

Li Liang trained with the legendary West Texas United.

Double-teaming requires accurate judgment, reasonable communication with teammates, and certain interference skills.

Compared with complex offensive tactics, the training of defensive tactics is much simpler, with five lessons.

But the content is very compact and fulfilling. Coach Huggins is extremely harsh, and most of the coaches who are good at defense are like this.

In more than an hour, Li Liang learned these things and successfully completed the class tasks.

Before leaving, Coach Huggins shook hands with Li Liang. In his eyes, black people play basketball the same as white people, so naturally Asians are no different.

"Believe in yourself and go your own way." Huggins gave Li Liang a proverb, which was the truth he believed in when he was young.

Li Liang nodded.

[Congratulations on completing the task "Coach Don Huggins' Training Course", and receive a reward: double-team awareness and ability value of 15 (60), special item: Don Huggins' Adhesive Cream.]

Li Liang completed the task and harvested a special item again.

[Don Huggins' Adhesive Plaster: Can shut up anyone immediately. It lasts for five minutes.]

Don Huggins was criticized and criticized when he led the all-Black starting team that year.

In the end, he led the team to keep everyone shut up with the championship.

When Li Liang saw that this thing was easy to use.

They restrained each other with Bob Knight's hair dryer, but unfortunately both things were in Li Liang's hands.

However, so far, Li Liang has not met his opponent in the game.

The only one who cannot be subdued is the bald referee Crawford, who has too strong brain circuits to suppress.

Next time there is a law enforcement competition, I dare to whisper to me and just stick it to your mouth, so that you can't even blow your whistle.

Thinking of this, Li Liang was very happy, left the system, and fell asleep with satisfaction.

On the 12th of the next day, Li Liang got up at 10 a.m. and hurriedly prepared to go to the Toyota Center for training.

Today is Saturday, Bai Xiaoting is resting at home. Seeing Li Liang hurriedly, she said, "I'm going to be late again, like a professional player."

Li Liang walked around at home and found that Zhu Shu was not at home. He hurriedly asked, "Where is Zhu Shu? Why is she not here?"

"I left early in the morning and said I was going to Maryland to negotiate a contract."

Li Liang remembered that it was for Under Armour's contract that Zhu Shu went directly to Under Armour's headquarters.

Li Liang hadn't had breakfast yet. Seeing this, Bai Xiaoting brought out scones, eggs, milk and sausages from the kitchen.

"Eat it, Zhu Shu is not here today, I'll take care of your diet at home."

"Oh, how dare you, Bai Da Designer..."

"Eat quickly! There's so much nonsense!"

Li Liang hurriedly finished the breakfast breeze.

While having breakfast, Bai Xiaoting told Li Liang that Nike had decided to buy Li Liang's sneaker design patent.

Li Liang thought about it and said that although he was about to sign a contract with Under Armour, it doesn’t matter which company he signed with.

I just gave my body and image, my wisdom and artistic crystallization, but I didn't sign a contract with Under Armour.

This shameless person has already taken the credit for the design of the Y series to himself.

As a result, another amount of money was recorded and my own economy became more and more abundant.

After breakfast, Li Liang and Bai Xiaoting said goodbye and drove to Toyota Center.

When they arrived at the training hall, Howard, Hill and Gasol still did not show up.

They are all concentrating on recuperating their injuries now, and Hill is said to be not optimistic and may require surgery.

Once Hill has surgery, he will miss the rest of the season, which means season reimbursement.

Hill's previous performance can only be said to be sloppy, but having is better than not.

During training today, Mike Brown debugged several lineups.

Some people who let Thackeray and Li Liang start, some people who let Ebanks and Li Liang start, and some people who let Clark and Li Liang start.

Anyway, Li Liang is paired with one, he is paired with Thackeray, which is playing power forward and the other two...

Needless to say, center forward, it’s you!

Li Liang must not matter, he was prepared anyway.

Isn't it just a center? I can be a coach, and it's not impossible for a referee.

However, Mike Brown negotiated with the coaching staff and then referred to the video analyst's opinions.

He still adopted a relatively conservative starting lineup, allowing Thackeray to play as the center and Li Liang started the front.

Then rotate on, the main love is to use Earl Clark.

In the previous few games, Clark and Ebanks used it in turn, and Clark performed the best.

He is tall, has outstanding arm-span and has strong athletic ability.

After three games of adjustment, trial and error, Brown placed Clark in the primary rotation position.

Of course, Li Liang cannot play this point. The team now relies more on Li Liang's three-pointers and rebounds.

If you don’t have good defense, if you want to win, you must keep up with the offense.

The three games lost were all because of the defense, and then the offense was short of breath.

But for Li Liang, Brown and the Lakers management can no longer ask for more.

One million in two years, and the first year's salary is 445,000. Where can you find such a low-cost and efficient player?

Because of discovering Li Liang, Ryan West has been successfully promoted to Lakers scouting director.

After the training, Mike Brown called Li Liang aside and said all kinds of good things.

Sometimes I said that you have not been easy recently and you have to take more responsibilities in the inside line; sometimes I said that you have made great progress and are eye-catching, and I think you can win the best rookie.

Today, the photographers and producers of TWC TV came to Toyota Center for materials as usual.

Mike Brown seized the opportunity and praised Li Liang in front of the camera, saying that in the team's difficulties, Li Liang's role was further prominent, and he played a crucial impact on the team's defense and offense.

In fact, Coach Brown, you don’t have to praise Li Liang.

Li Liang is not the kind of player who needs to be coaxed. He has a strong sense of self-management.

Playing on the court, you have to play to the best.

If I can't play the best, I will go back to practice.

Slowly climbing up step by step, so the Lakers' difficulty is simply a small case for him.

As for TV stations, they have to exaggerate this as if the sky has collapsed. They have experienced such a big crisis and need to be saved.

It’s all nonsense. With me, Li Liang, what kind of crisis can you have?
To be continued...
