"You have to be bold and take action boldly. You have to... forget it, don't be too bold, I'm afraid I can't bear it if I'm too bold."

After leaving Dallas, the walkers headed to San Antonio, and after staying at the hotel, they practiced tactical practices in the training hall.

Li Liang was exchanging tactical experience with JR-Smith.

Smith is already an old player. It is logical that he has rich game experience and strong personal abilities.

It’s just that Smith has been playing in the Nuggets and Knicks, a team with open tactics and poor discipline.

I also went to CBA in the middle and became the boss of a season. I played whatever I like, which can be said to be quite casual.

As a result, after arriving at the Pacers, the Pacers were a team that paid great attention to tactical style.

This made Smith very uncomfortable, causing him to hesitate on the offensive end.

Even if Li Liang opens and closes during the attack, he doesn’t fight blindly, he has a routine.

After all, he was a player who studied at Los Angeles Offensive Academy for two years, and Li Liang has a good understanding of overall offense.

Now he wants to pass on this understanding to his teammates.

Li Liang is so selfless and willing to contribute. This is what makes the players trained by socialist countries different from American players.

(The fundamental reason is that Li Liang can't stand playing basketball with a fool.)

As the head coach, Bird watched from the side, studied seriously, nodded from time to time, and then sat next to him for a while.

Why not rest if you can rest?

Li Liang was worried and his ball experience plummeted.

He now wants a "coach ability improvement module" to appear in the system. He feels that he can practice a little in the system and improve his practice in real-life games, so he can kick Bird away and become a player and coach himself.

Although Smith occasionally makes trouble, he is not a fool.

After Li Liang repeatedly explained and then practiced during training, Smith gradually felt something.

The bottom corner will be his best position to take action, and the bottom line is the best space for him to move to find opportunities.

After training, Li Liang felt much more tired than usual.

He doesn't want to train anymore, so he might as well do tasks in the system and continue to improve himself.

But the compact schedule does not allow Li Liangduo to think about it. On the night of the 26th, the Pacers came to the At&T Center to challenge the Spurs away.

One advantage of Li Liang's arrival at Pacers is that he has less dialogue with the Western powers.

To be honest, except for one Cavaliers, other teams in the East are not seen by Li Liang.

As for these strong teams in the West, he will only meet them in the regular season, and the playoffs will no longer be a problem.

Of course, for the western powers, Li Liang's eastward travel is also good news.

For example, for the Spurs, last year was their best chance to win the championship. If they reach the finals, the Heat would probably not be able to beat the Spurs.

Unfortunately, the powerful Spurs still fell at the feet of Li Liang's team.

After the rumors of buying out in summer, the Spurs had no room to sign Li Liang, and then they were afraid that Li Liang would go to a Western Conference strong team to form a super team. As a result, Li Liang went to the East.

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, Li Liang immediately reported another transaction rumor. Popovich immediately gave a tentative offer, and wanted to exchange Leonard for Li Liang.

In the end, the Cavaliers received the offer from the Pacers, believing that Paul George is more suitable for James and the Cavaliers.

In addition to the mismatch of contracts, Popovich was also hesitant whether to send Leonard away to replace Li Liang.

In terms of strength, Popovich really hopes to get Li Liang.

But Popovich also believes that players like Li Liang who jump around do not meet the standards of the Spurs' long-term team building.

So in the end, Li Liang stayed in the east, and Popovich felt relieved.

However, with this tentative operation, the gap between him and Leonard became deeper.

In the Western Conference Finals last season, the master and apprentice had a conflict because of Li Liang's "far".

As a result, the effect of the props had long passed, but the gap between the two had not completely disappeared.

But it has not been shown yet. Leonard ushered in the last year of his rookie contract. For the Spurs, an important issue is the renewal of Leonard.

At present, Leonard has no intention of renewing his contract with the Spurs in advance. He may have to consider whether to stay with the Spurs after playing this season.

In short, Li Liang's appearance disrupted Popovich and the Spurs' team building plans, allowing this most successful team in the 21st century to walk on a rugged road.

...

The match between the two sides started on time at 7:30 pm.

Two Pacers' generals West and George still haven't made a comeback on the injury list.

Therefore, Li Liang had to continue to have three fools in the starting lineup with one star and a Sloan.

The good news is that CJ Myers returns from injury in this game and will appear as a substitute.

With CJ Myers, the Pacers' weak bench firepower will be solved.

The Spurs are much healthier than they are, and the only one with injury problems is Split.

Therefore, the Spurs used Duncan as the center lineup, and the power forward was Boris Dior.

Leonard, Danny Green and Tony Parker form the Spurs' forward guard.

After the start of the new season, the Spurs have maintained high competitiveness as always in the regular season.

Currently, their record is 9 wins and 4 losses, ranking third in the West.

After the game started, Tony Parker still took the lead.

Li Liang will almost get the Spurs' tricks.

The pick-and-roll cooperation between Tony Parker and Duncan, once they have the chance, they will try a mid-range jump shot at the horn position.

If you make a shot, you will shoot more and slowly open it, and then create space and opportunities for the wings.

If you can't make a shot, let Duncan play a few at a low post, and then gradually gain the advantage through defense, and the offense of positional warfare slowly unfolds.

As a player who has had in-depth confrontation with the Spurs, Li Liang knows a lot about the Spurs' routines.

He knew that when fighting the Spurs, he had to use random punches. He must not compete with the Spurs in one move or another, as he would probably die miserably.

So after Parker hit the mid-range jump shot at the opening, Li Liang got the ball and immediately pushed the ball and counterattacked quickly.

Tonight, Li Liang put on McGinnis's steel suit again, and his body was as strong as a bull.

Li Liang's speed was not very fast, but he used his rhythm and strength to forcibly break into the basket from the middle.

Facing Leonard's defense and Duncan's backup defense, the two people's defense forced a one-handed throw, causing Leonard's defensive foul.

Leonard was fouled and raised his hand to signal to the referee, but he was wondering why Bruce Lee became like the Little Tank?

The two had just met in the Western Conference Finals a few months ago. To be honest, Leonard was a little hurt in his self-confidence.

Li Liang's outstanding performance in the game is the key to the Clippers' defeat of the Spurs.

His sharp three-pointer and extremely smart play gave Leonard a lot of excitement.

So during the offseason, Leonard continued to practice hard to improve his three-point shooting level.

As a result, the new season has begun. Why did Li Liang Nima suddenly become James' style of playing?

Did he stole James' skills after being a teammate for a few days in the Cavaliers and James?

Leonard also felt that the unparalleled power in Li Liang's body had definitely improved greatly compared to last season when he was in contact.

How did this guy do it?

Leonard had no expression on his face, but his heart was fluttering a few times.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line and made both free throws, causing Leonard to make a foul, making a profit.

There is no doubt that Li Liang wants to raise the pace of the game.

It will definitely be difficult for the Pacers to play as the old game rhythm.

Leonard quickly attacked Li Liang.

It's still a high-level pick-and-roll by Parker and Duncan.

Parker did not get a mobile phone this time, and he passed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan dribbled in the middle, then passed the ball with his hand to cover Leonard who was cutting to the bottom line.

After receiving the ball, Leonard relied on cover to get rid of Li Liang's defense and rushed into the basket from the middle. Facing McGee's defense, the opponent grabbed the ball and made a layup dodging in the air.

Leonard's hand is really big. Others want to take a layup with both hands. He grabs and avoids with one hand, and a confrontation in the air, and then sends the ball into the basket.

Li Liang could see that in the summer, Leonard also made progress through unremitting training.

Something interesting.

Li Liang thought that this confrontation with Leonard would be very interesting.

Basketball is still fun.
