Chapter 24 It's Not That Simple(1/2)
Li Liang patiently explained. As for Wei Dazhi, he continued to take photos, post, chat and brag in his basketball group, completely ignoring the two girls around him just became interested in basketball.
In Wei Dazhi's words, he was already injured and could not recover within ten years.
He wants to devote all his energy to basketball and become a basketball reporter.
Wei Dazhi still remembers that when he was in junior high school, he thought that playing basketball could attract girls' likes, so he started playing basketball.
Later, when he really fell in love with basketball, he also understood that girls just like to watch handsome guys play basketball.
If you are not handsome, you will be beaten to the sky and no one will pay attention to you!
Think about it, basketball is better. It is fun and doesn’t cost much money. You don’t want you to buy a house, and you won’t betray you.
The three days in Orlando were undoubtedly happy. Li Liang got enough rest and felt that his energy was getting stronger.
So, that night, he entered the [Almighty King] system again and continued his upgrade journey.
He first checked his data in various aspects, and it did not decline compared to before, indicating that two days of rest will not affect his status.
On the contrary, in the [Physical Fitness] column, his [Endurance] index rose a little.
It seems that you have sufficient rest and relaxation, which allows you to have a certain reserve of physical fitness.
After a rough inventory, Li Liang began to think about whether he should continue to improve his defensive ability or strengthen his three-pointer at the open position?
At present, his basic ability to defend the outside is still relatively low, and he has a lot of room for improvement, and it should not be difficult and can be completed in a short time.
The three-point mission has been promoted to the star level, which is probably more difficult and will take more time to complete.
But difficult tasks are also beneficial, with greater improvements and greater rewards.
Moreover, the tasks of the three-point event are relatively small compared to the defensive ability.
Li Liang carefully weighed the pros and conscientiously decided to be conservative. Before entering the NBA, he should steadily improve and practice defense well.
After entering the NBA, you can challenge those more difficult tasks and develop your own offensive skills.
After making plans, Li Liang entered the [Defensive Ability] interface and once again chose the task of [Basic Defensive Outside].
The surroundings gradually became brighter again, and Li Liang was sent to a new mission site.
[Task: Curb Odom's debut, time: November 2, 1999, Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, USA, vs. Seattle Supersonics vs. Los Angeles Clippers, Mission Requirements: Fight against rookie Lamar Odom, let his score not exceed 10 points, Mission Reward: Basic Defensive Value of 8 on the outside, 5 on the outside, 5 on the outside, 1 Random Ability Value Additive, Mission Difficulty: Normal]
When Li Liang saw that the NBA debut of the two previous tasks was the same as the previous ones, curbing star players' NBA debut, this time the target was Lamar Odom.
The content of the task looks simple, and you don’t have to worry about any assists, just press his score below 10.
But Li Liang knew that the tasks in the system could not be easier and easier, the difficulty had been increased to normal, and the rewards were even more generous.
So in this game, Odom must have made a wonderful debut, and Li Liang must curb him.
Li Liang was right. Odom's debut in 1999 was extremely amazing.
The 6-foot-9 striker scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
This debut data is also ranked first in NBA history. There is a reason why Odom was called the "left-handed magician" at the time.
Li Liang looked at his clothes and put on the green battle robe of Seattle Supersonics.
Standing next to him was Gary Payton, who was chewing gum with his waist on his back. He glanced at Li Liang and said, "Defense boy, you are not watching the ball."
Li Liang nodded. He still heard of Payton's name, a famous NBA impromptu swearing rap expert, and a garbage-talking machine.
If you walk around with a big mouth, you will dare to scold Jordan.
Fortunately, in this game, Li Liang and Payton were teammates, so there was no need to scold each other.
However, even if he scolds Li Liang, he is not afraid. He thinks he is not inferior to anyone, and he may even get angry points.
A few days ago, Adelman had an anger value of 20, and after weighting, he gave Li Liang 100 points. His redemption value had reached 610 points.
The game started soon, and Li Liang appeared as the team's starting small forward, replacing the team's "White Flying Man" Brent Barry.
In terms of strength, the Clippers are far inferior to the Supersonics. This team that is in the same city as the Lakers has always been the bottom of the league.
In 1998, they missed Carter and Pierce, and chose Olovo Kandi, who was considered the next "Olajuwon".
Facts have proved that the so-called next person is a cheating person.
Olovo Kandi is of course no exception. He has not achieved the No. 1 pick in his rookie season at all.
This is his second season, and he is still the starting center of the Clippers, and the Clippers still have hope for him.
In addition to this parallel center, No. 4 rookie Odom has become the starter, and the Clippers also have high expectations for him.
Li Liang set his sights on Odom. Now he is a rookie destroyer. He will ravage even a rookie with outstanding debut.
With the experience of the first two games, Li Liang gave Odom a one-on-one special service to him at the beginning.
He can only score 10 points, and he can only score one goal in each quarter. The task is quite arduous.
Judging from the strength comparison between the two sides, Li Liang estimated that the Supersonics would lead early with a big score, and then just fight casually, and Odom would easily get the data.
In order to prevent this from happening, Li Liang decided to continue to make a trick on the offensive end.
Never hit the shot, never pass the ball, just take the ball, and you will definitely miss it if you do it.
Anyway, the coach will not change him easily, otherwise how else will he complete the task?
Coincidentally, his coach in this game was George Carl again. He was 48 years old in 1999 and was in his prime.
At the beginning of the game, the centers of both sides jumped in the center circle.
The starting center of the Supersonics is Wen Baker, a future drunkard. At this time, he is still an excellent low-post attacker in the league.
The Clippers compete for the ball, and for the first time the Supersonics use man-to-man signs.
Li Liang remembered that before 2001, the league did not allow joint defense, and could only defend by man.
Although some teams secretly use area double-teams, most of the time it is human-to-person.
This provided convenience to Li Liang, he could just focus on his own people anyway.
Odom didn't think about attacking by himself at the beginning. The Clippers are not a strong team, they are a weak chicken and they play more casually.
Derek Anderson's main control, dribbled twice on the outside, and did not find any good opportunities, so he shot himself.
Missed the middle distance, Wen Baker won the backcourt rebound, and Payton took the ball and organized the Supersonics' offense.
During the attack, Li Liang squatted at the bottom corner as usual.
Now he thinks it's quite easy to play in the NBA game. He just keeps his eyes on his defensive end and squats on the bottom corner on the offensive end.
The Supersonics played very traditionally at the opening game. Wen Baker asked for the ball at the low post, others opened up space, and Baker took the ball and made a single shot.
Li Liang was ambushing between the bottom corner on the left and 45 degrees, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Odom, who was facing him, focused all his attention on Baker. It seemed that the coach had ordered him to keep an eye on Baker before the game.
Baker chiseled in a few low posts, and the active Odom suddenly stepped forward and double-teamed. Baker immediately passed the ball and passed it directly to Li Liang on the outside.
When Li Liang saw this great shot, he didn't care about the ball. He closed his eyes and threw it away.
Odom came back to his senses and came back to defend, but Li Liang took action very quickly and did not make any preparations at all, so he did not plan to enter.
"Swish!"
The ball actually entered!
Li Liang couldn't believe his eyes, he hit a three-pointer with a casual throw!
"TMD, why did you get in? You said you were so fucking? You said you were so arrogant?"
Li Liang looked at his palms in a daze, and Payton beside him praised him: "The beautiful boy who voted."
For a player, if he practices enough shooting, he will have memory of his muscle movements.
Unless you throw it away deliberately, you will have a very high chance of scoring the goal by throwing it casually.
"No, no, I can't make a random shot later. If the score is widened, the defense will be difficult."
If George Carl knew Li Liang’s idea, he would probably give him 50 points of anger.
Everything went smoothly in the first quarter. After Li Liang made a three-pointer, the Supersonics quickly took the initiative on the field.
The Clippers played pretty well. The defense intensity of both sides was not high at the beginning, and there were rounds and backs. The Supersonics ended at 29:27 in the first quarter, leading by 2 points.
Odom did not score points during the entire process of Li Liang's defense, as the saying goes, there is a mental calculation but no intention.
Historically, as a rookie, Odom will not target him.
The back slowly opened and the game went smoothly. With the supersonic score leading, the coach was George Carl, so he naturally let him go.
Now, Li Liang, the kid, circled him like a fly at the beginning. He had two experiences in curbing rookies, so Odom was a little unable to open.
Li Liang was a little proud and felt that the task should not be too big a problem, so he passed the three quarters.
With the first two tasks as a base, he obviously felt that his defensive ability was stronger, his horizontal movement speed was faster, and he basically didn't lose much with others, and his judgment also improved.
But in the second quarter, there was a change on the court, and the two sides began to rotate.
Payton and Hollis Grant came out of the game, replaced Xavier Maxwell and Barry, and Li Liang was still on the court because Odom did not go down.
Without Grant, the supersonic interior lacks a reliable frame protection.
