Chapter 622: Ke Ding's Dice(1/2)
When Li Liang woke up from his dream, it was already noon on December 9th.
It is already winter in Indiana, and Li Liang's apartment is turned on, which is very warm.
However, after Li Liang got up from the bed, he opened the bedroom window and let the cold wind inside.
The cold wind blew on Li Liang's face, making him feel very comfortable, and he was also more awake.
During a big battle with the piston in the system last night, Li Liang consumed a lot, so he slept very heavily.
The team didn't go to the training at noon. When they turned on their phone, they found that there was no information about the coach.
Bird is now used to Li Liang's training and absent from work, not to mention Mike Brown, he is happy if Li Liang doesn't go.
There were only a few text messages from Zhu Shu on her phone, asking him to have dinner on time, and there was also a message asking Li Liang if he was interested in endorsement from some local Indiana businesses.
"You reply to me and give me a decision. My phone call is almost blown up by them every day."
When Li Liang saw this, he felt his head explode.
The most famous local merchants in Indiana are several major agricultural products, as well as various agricultural machinery manufacturers.
Li Liangxin thought, as an idol basketball superstar, why don’t I have any luxury sports cars, high-end watches or luxury brands to ask me to endorse?
Doesn’t my temperament meet their requirements?
I am asked to endorse agricultural products and agricultural machinery, how to endorse it?
Smiling with a cornflake box in hand?
Or sit on a tractor and watch the sunset?
Li Liang felt embarrassed when he thought about it, so let it go.
Besides, if I really made such an endorsement, my father would definitely let him take on his own tractor advertisement.
No, no, Li Liang immediately wanted to send a message to Zhu Shu.
But after editing, hesitated for a while, deleted it, and returned to the following: "Is our family short of money?"
After a while, Zhu Shu replied to the message, "It's not very short, so I'll save some flowers."
After the two were together, Li Liang's money was managed by Zhu Shu. She said she didn't need it, so there would definitely be no need.
So, Li Liang decided not to make these endorsements with confidence.
When I am short of money in the future, for example, if I retire and have no work, it is not too late to endorse agricultural machinery products, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.
After dinner, Li Liang took a shower and had a good rest at home.
There will be a game tonight.
After winning the Pistons, Li Liang's ability value of [strong three-pointer] soared to 80 points!
This ability point should be said to be very high. Li Liang also obtained a special item, [Kodinger's Dice].
[Kodinger's dice: used in the game, six-sided dice, six numbers, three reds and three blacks, and red numbers will hit the next number of shots that are the same as the number, and black numbers will be the opposite. The next number of shots that are the same as the number will miss. Explanation: Please use them with caution!]
Li Liang sighed when he looked at this prop.
Every time I do a task for an old subject, TM can bring me some surprises!
The previous [Kodinger's box] was placed in the system and eaten ashes.
Because it is still too risky to use in real-life competitions.
If used in system tasks, there is no special need yet.
Now there is another dice.
There are 1 to 6 numbers, of which the odd number is red and the even number is black.
The probability is half and half. If you accidentally hit a six o'clock, you will be done. You will have to hit the iron after the next six shots!
This is very consistent with the style of the old scientist.
This thing is useful, but the side effects are indeed quite useful.
Even if he bets at critical moments, Li Liang didn't dare to use this dice.
After all, if he is asked to win the final kill, his hit rate will be more than 50% higher with other skills and props.
Unless the bad luck of this dice can be transferred to someone else?
But this is too much.
Li Liang does not have such props yet.
It's useless for the time being, so put it away first.
...
That night, Li Liang drove to the Consecco Arena, and the Pacers will play against the Atlanta Hawks at home tonight.
The Pacers lost to the Hawks before. The Hawks have made great progress this season and have now occupied the top spot in the East.
Budenholzer brought the Spurs' team basketball philosophy to the Hawks, and with the Hawks' balanced lineup, it set off a whirlwind of the Eagles in the East.
This is a bit like the Pacers before. Now the Pacers have become a single-core team with Li Liang as the core.
Moreover, there is no accurate answer to how this single-core team should operate, from coaches to players.
Li Liang doesn’t want to care about so much. If you can’t do it, then I will do it.
If you can keep up with me, I will follow you. If you can’t keep up with me, I will just take you away.
The game started on time at 7:30 pm.
The Kangsaike Arena was once again full, and Li Liang's arrival was a help to the Pacers' market.
The tickets were already sold well, but now the ratings and the enthusiasm of the fans are extremely rising.
Everyone is here to watch Li Liang’s game.
Li Liang did not disappoint the audience and fans. As soon as the game started, Li Liang, who got the ball, rushed straight to the basket with the ball and dunked with one arm!
Then he hit McGee's body with a bang...
The two of them collided, the ball fell out of the bottom line, and the mistake...
"Why are you blocking me?"
"I hid."
"Why did I bump into you after you hide?"
"You're too fast!"
“…”
This is the first time that Li Liang has heard others evaluate him as fast, and it is also the first time that he thinks fast is not a good word?
Am I that fast?
The opening was a mistake, and it was a good start.
Obviously, McGee is not in the game yet.
Li Liang knew that he could not beat the three fools logically, so he should use his performance to drive them.
It seemed that due to the influence of the Detroit Pistons in the system mission, Li Liang focused all his attention on defense at the beginning.
When a team has ups and downs in record and condition, improving defense is always the most effective method.
The Pacers are originally a strong defensive team, and their foundation is still there.
After David West returns, the Pacers' inside defense has become more stable.
The Hawks, who have always been on the offense this season, have struggled to start.
When Korver faced Li Liang's point, he could not get rid of it no matter how he ran away. He was even more hit and took a steal.
Soon, the Pacers ended with a 4-point lead in the first quarter with 27:23.
After Li Liang missed his first dunk, he did not continue to attack.
Based on his previous experience in playing the Hawks, it is necessary to deal with teams like the Hawks in the second and third quarters to put them down.
In the second quarter, Li Liang returned to the court after a period of rest and began his scoring performance.
With his three-point shooting ability increased to 80 points, he was simply unstoppable outside the three-point line.
David West and McGee both provided good cover, and with one cover, Li Liang could fire a gun directly from the outside.
No matter what breakthrough or emergency stop jump shot, it is not as easy and comfortable as my strong three-pointer.
Once Li Liang opens this point, nerve knives like Smith and Fenson will get hot.
They are all the kind of players who have morale that can add fuel to the fire and icing on the cake.
Once they fall into that anxious and stressful state, they will easily get out of line.
It’s not that you are afraid of pressure, but that you are under pressure.
Li Liang's consecutive three-pointers, combined with JR Smith and Fenson's three-pointers, the Pacers made a wave of three-pointers in the second quarter, widening the gap to more than 10 points, and the Hawks were stunned.
To be continued...
