Li Liang, who returned to the locker room, kicked Jio in anger at the locker, almost kicking Under Armour's shoes out.

It was so annoying. Li Liang originally thought that it would be better to lose the ball and lose the ball. But the result was good. The ball was lost, but the person did not lose, and he was warmly welcomed. He didn't get any anger. What's the use?

The news media will report again later on how popular it is.

I want you to welcome me?

A warrior who is not hated by his enemies is not a good warrior.

After calming down in the locker room for more than ten minutes, the game on the court was over, and the teammates returned to the locker room with some frustration.

Of course, Li Liang didn't blame his teammates for anything, and he even stepped forward to comfort everyone.

The Pacers' offensive fluctuations are still very high, especially when they rely too much on Li Liang on the offensive end, and the sense of layering of offensive tactics is not very good.

The players still haven't come out of the previous tactical framework. Once the offensive end feels not good, they are a little timid.

On the contrary, the Cavaliers completely let go of the game tonight. Samsung in the backcourt took turns showing their power. James and George engaged in a rotating battle against Li Liang, which finally defeated him.

You see, being the boss and being an arrow means you have to bear such pressure.

The Lakers Kobe will help you with it, Paul will share the burden with you in the Clippers, and the Pacers will have to bear it yourself.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. If you want to sit on the throne, you must bear the risk of hemorrhoids.

Li Liang is still in the third grade. His abilities can be boosted through the black technology system, but his experience is difficult.

Although he played a lot of games in the system, to be honest, those games in the 1960s and 1970s did not have any bonus in terms of experience except to increase his celebrity temperament.

The team didn't have much time to summarize and reflect. On the night of the game, they took a bus to the airport and rushed to the next competition site, Phoenix.

The Pacers had played a game with the Suns before, but the Pacers lost to the Suns.

This game came to Phoenix, which was the Pacers' battle of revenge.

There is good news for the Pacers, that is, David West, who had been suffering from injuries before, finally made a comeback in this game, providing the Pacers with more sufficient combat power.

However, the general's comeback did not bring good results to the Pacers.

West has been absent for a long time due to injury, and West is 34 years old this year. For an inside player, a decline is inevitable.

In addition, after Li Liang arrived, West has not trained much with Li Liang, and is not adapted to the team's new tactics and new styles of play.

Out of respect for the veteran, Bird still let West start.

As a result, the Pacers' offense was not good in the first quarter, and they were beaten 7:0 by the Little Kuailing Sun at the beginning.

The Suns have a lot of experience in how to deal with Li Liang. PJ-Tuck, this guy, has a feeling of defending Li Liang.

The Suns asked Tucker to attack Li Liang alone. In fact, Li Liang could still perform normally when facing Tucker, but obviously he couldn't do it with ease.

Now he is the boss of the team and the engine. He cannot perform easily. If he creates opportunities for his teammates, the Pacers' offense will be reduced.

The Pacers are actually a single-core team now. In the current NBA, group groups are prevalent, and the difficulties of single-core teams are obvious to all.

Relying on Li Liang, the Pacers held on to the score tightly, and the two sides fought until the fourth quarter.

Just when people thought that Li Liang would harvest the game in the fourth quarter, the Suns actually broke out.

Dragic and substitute Gerald Green suddenly broke out from outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer volley.

At the same time, Tucker posted Li Liang so hard that he would double-team him with JR-Smith, Fenson and others.

As a result, the Pacers' outside line was silent again, and the three-pointer missed in a row, and the score was widened by the Suns.

Li Liang finally had to attack himself, but it was too late.

In the end, the Pacers lost to the Suns again at a 113:117 away game, with a 4-point disadvantage, and were double-killed by the Suns this season.

The walker is indeed having problems.

Li Liang's data is still very good, and he is still a quasi-triple double, but the performance of others is not satisfactory.

David West, who returned from injury, did not bring stronger combat power to the team. He only scored 8 points in the whole game, which was all fragmentary and could not support the team tactically.

After the game, the players were quite frustrated when they returned to the locker room.

After the trade, the players' personal abilities have become stronger, but their performance is always unsatisfactory.

As the core of the team, Li Liang is very stable in every game. What is the problem?

Bird and his coaching staff discussed this issue along the way after leaving the American Airlines Center.

Li Liang did not say a word, and he did not accept interviews from reporters after the game.

In his first two years of career, he basically never experienced many losses.

The Lakers have various winning streaks, and losing is at the end of the season and they are going to have a rest.

Not to mention the Clippers, except for the two consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, they have never lost in a row.

When it comes to the Pacers, this team has a worse foundation than the Los Angeles two.

If Li Liang joined the Pacers last year, the Pacers would be a super strong team.

In just one year, the Pacers themselves have fallen apart. The structure of the departure, the transaction, and the injury has long since disappeared.

In fact, Bird had expected this situation.

Even if the team completed the transaction, they got JR-Smith, McGee and others. These players are indeed more talented, but they do not have decisive strength.

Therefore, the overall strength of the Pacers will not make a qualitative leap.

As Bird, he was not in a hurry because his eyes were very long-term.

If Li Liang cannot lead the Pacers to win the championship this season, he will definitely not leave the Pacers and will continue to stay in Indiana for a year.

Stay there for a year and summer will be the time for Pacers to regroup.

At that time, new signing, transactions, collective training and tactical allocation will make the Pacers stronger again.

Losing consecutively was expected for Bird.

In his opinion, no matter how awesome Li Liang is, it is impossible for him to be the boss without going through one or two seasons of training.

To be honest, before Li Liang's trade, he dragged the Pacers to win those victories, which made Bird look at him with admiration.

He didn't expect that in addition to three-pointers, Li Liang had so many skills, breakthroughs, back-to-back, strong attack at the basket, and his adaptability to the center position, which all amazes Bird - isn't this young me?

In order to win the championship, the young Bird came back at a lot of money on the road.

After winning the championship in 1981, they were wasting their time in 1982 and 1983 for two consecutive years, not because of the lineup, but because of the team's tactics and problems in the team's construction.

As the Pacers' head coach now, Bird believes that any change that is eager to achieve is unnecessary.

The team has made a deal, and if they are anxious to make tactical changes, just for this season?

Next season, next season is the best time for Pacers to have the best chance.

After concluding this, Bird became even more calm in the face of defeat.

No matter how enthusiastic the discussion between Mike Brown and Vogel was, he didn't listen carefully.

Bird had a three-year appointment when he was the Pacers' head coach for the first time.

Within three years, regardless of whether he can lead the Pacers to the championship, he will not continue to be the head coach.

Because three years is the longest honeymoon for a team's players and coaches, they usually reach their peak in the second year, maintain the peak in the third year and then decline all the way.

The Pacers reached the finals in 2000 in the third year, but unfortunately they lost to O'Neal and the Lakers.

It's only the first year now, why are you in a hurry?

Bird looked at Li Liang who was sitting in the first row of the bus and said nothing since the end of the game, and thought to himself, boy, you still have a long way to go.

When we arrived at the airport, we got off the bus, boarded the special plane, and headed to our next destination, Portland.

When boarding the plane, Li Liang walked behind Bird, suddenly called him and said, "Larry, I'll ask you a question."

Bird said: "You said."

Li Liang finally spoke, Bird thought that at this moment of depressed failure, it is the best time to educate and encourage young people, and it is also the only way for Li Liang to move towards a stronger spiritual mind.

Li Liang said: "Have you ever won the scoring champion?"

"What?"

"I asked you to win the scoring champion?"

"...No, what's wrong, the Celtics don't have a scoring champion."
Chapter completed!
