On New Year's Day on January 1, Li Liang spent the New Year with Zhu Shu in Indiana.

Wei Dazhi and Bai Xiaoting both arrived from Los Angeles, and four good friends were together to welcome the arrival of 2015 on a farm in the suburbs of Dayin Village.

Time flies quickly, and three years have passed since Li Liang decided to join NBA.

The fate of the four ravens has changed a lot, but their friendship remains forever.

For example, Bai Xiaoting continued to look at Li Liang in all kinds of dislikes. Even if he became the most famous basketball player in the United States now, in Bai Xiaoting's eyes, Li Liang was still one thousandth of a handsome man than Kobe.

"What's so handsome about Kobe? Ah? He is still a bald man! Do you like bald man? Of course, he is at most a little handsome than me. I have no doubt about this, but I don't agree if he is handsome."

"Hmph~ You're so arrogant, you're already out of breath, do you know?"

"What? I'm only in the third grade, why are I getting out of here? Kobe just got out of here, okay?"

"Do you know what aesthetic fatigue is? You have taken everything you should have. Everyone has no expectation from you. Do you understand? Didn't you see that your jersey sales are declining now? The Pacers' ratings have not made significant progress except in Indiana and China. You have few live broadcasts across the United States. Why do you think it is? It's not that your top brand is not attractive enough. Also, who sells the best shoes now? It's Curry! You are not the best ones for Under Armour to sell."

Bai Xiaoting's words were reasonable and well-founded, but Li Liang didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Li Liang became popular all of a sudden, regardless of whether he was still a superstar, Kobe's former teammate began to recite poems:

"The boss has tried his best, he won't blame him for losing. He beat five on the field and scored thirty plus. Looking at his teammates, he is purely a scumbag in the five scum..."

This is a likable poem that Chinese fans once used to blackmail Kobe. It seems that Li Liang is really anxious.

Looking at the league, only Bai Xiaoting and Crawford can make Li Liang anxious.

Zhu Shu on the side couldn't stand it and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, what are you doing? Whoever vilifies you will be criticized by Kobe? Why are you the same as a child?"

Now, Li Liang is the one who hacks me, I will hack Kobe.

Wei Dazhi, sitting opposite Li Liang, silently recorded: Bruce Li celebrated and chatted with friends at home in the New Year, and had a dispute with each other, and revealed inside information about the Lakers that year, pointing out Kobe's various ball dominance behaviors in the championship season...

"Hey, what are you writing?" Li Liang stopped reciting poems and came over to ask Wei Dazhi.

"Ah? No, I'll write some essays... Don't grab them, don't grab them! Essays! It's just essays!"

...

After celebrating the New Year with friends, Li Liang returned to the team and the Pacers began the 2015 conquest.

In the new year, the whole team will immediately invest in a round of away games against Zheng

The first stop is Milwaukee.

Milwaukee was still very cold in January. Like Indiana, it was a hot spot for basketball, but it was indeed a basketball market. Li Liang's arrival made the stadium attendance very good.

There was once a Chinese player here, namely Yi Jianlian.

Although he did not perform satisfactorily, Yi Jianlian was by no means a passerby sitting on the bench.

He also once whirlwinds in the stag, but unfortunately he gets injured every time he gets better due to injuries.

After all, the NBA is quite strong, and injuries will indeed ruin a player.

This trace of Chinese plot was aroused with the arrival of Li Liang.

Many fans at the scene were holding Chinese slogans, some were welcome, some were joking, and some were ridiculous.

Although Bai Xiaoting mocked Li Liang for his decline in popularity in the New Year, the actual situation is that after Li Liang came to the Pacers, the overall ratings and fan attendance of the Eastern Conference teams have increased.

However, the comparison of the exposure rate of Pacers gives people the feeling that Li Liang's popularity has declined.

Anyway, Li Liang's popularity is still unrivaled in China, and all the stars are not enough for him to play alone.

Li Liang felt the enthusiasm of Milwaukee fans, but he still hoped that the Bucks fans would be able to contribute a little to him and contribute a little anger value.

In this regard, Jazz fans are most loved by Li Liang. Unfortunately, they can only go to Salt Lake City once a season when they arrive in the East.

Both in the north, the combat effectiveness of the Bucks fans was not very satisfying to Li Liang.

The competition begins at 7:30 pm.

The Bucks' home court has been replaced with a new floor this year, using a retro triangle floor. This is the floor of the Bucks in the 1980s CCTV, and the logo in the middle has also been changed.

The Bucks starter, center Pachulia, forward John O'Brien, letter Gouan Antetokounmpo, defender Brandon Knight and Chris Middleton.

The Bucks had a role model to show Parker this year, but Parker was injured and could not participate in this game.

It is not good news for the Bucks, because the Pas are severe cruciate ligament tear on the knee, a serious injury that will affect the player's career, which casts a shadow on the Bucks' reconstruction.

On the Pacers, George Hill completely returned, and the starting lineup was stabilized, McGee, Li Liang, Granger, Smith and Hill, this is a very combat-effective and flexible lineup.

At the beginning of the game, McGee was the first to hit the ball in the jump!

But he put the ball to his opponent, Brandon Knight's hand...

Li Liang glared at McGee, "If you can't see clearly, you might as well not dance. I can win the ball if I don't dance!"

The Bucks' first offense. After two screenings on the outside, the ball was given to O'Brien at the high position. O'Brien faced Li Liang, and some of the warehouses made a mid-range jump shot, but Zheng was in danger.

The Pacers' first attack was given to the high position by Hill.

Li Liang stood at the top of the arc, Granger cut into the basket from the bottom line, and Li Liang passed the ball to Granger.

The Bucks defended the ball very hard at the basket. Granger passed the ball to the outside line and gave it to Smith at 45 degrees on the right. Smith didn't make a three-pointer.

But Smith's shooting space has been completely opened.

Because Li Liang's defensive appeal is too strong.

Unfortunately, Smith had a bad start and was ineffective.

Li Liang glared at Smith, and Smith replied: "I'll give it a try!"

...Li Liang shook his head, and wanted to hear Smith "I'm sorry, I didn't vote well." It seems that he was thinking too much.

You try it, you continue to try it.

Li Liang has now discovered that the hair dryer can only deal with normal people.

It is useless to deal with people who are unreasonable, have different logic and have different brain circuits.

For example, Crawford in the referee, the player juice... I can't do it, the Pacers came in one go, it's really a sin.

Then Brandon Knight's breakthrough layup was interfered by McGee and failed to hit the ball, and the ball flew out of the boundary, and the Pacers' ball was the right.

This time, Li Liang did not pass the ball again. He received Hill's pass from the left and used McGee's cover to force a breakthrough from the middle!

The one who defended Li Liang was Antetokounmpo. Li Liang was wearing [Man of Steel] and pressed Antetokounmpo all the way in. After reaching the three-second zone, he stopped and made a jump shot, hit and scored two points.

Antetokounmpo was tall and his arms were long, and he was still thinking about blocking Li Liang, but he was so pressed that he couldn't jump up at all.

The Greek guy felt the huge gap in power.

Li Liang was already very strong in his body, and he was wearing a steel body, like a tiger.

The Bucks still missed the offense, Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and held the ball and pushed it back.

Still Antetokounmpo, Li Liang continued to rely on his body, and one accelerated to push the defender away, and after entering the basket and being double-teamed, the other hand passed the ball to Granger who followed.

Granger succeeded in dunking with both hands!

The Bucks had some trouble with the opening offense and their shooting felt bad.

Zheng failed to make a few shots in the game

The game lasted three minutes, but the Bucks still didn't score.

Apart from the bad touch, the Pacers' defense started out was really good.

After repeated arguments, Vogel and Mike Brown finally combined "man-to-man" and oppressive defense.

The combination method is also simple. For other reasons, Li Liang decides whether to double-team, how to double-team, and when to double-team!

Anyway, double-teaming is just Li Liang's fault, and the others try not to rotate.

This gave Li Liang enough autonomy to command and judge on the defensive end.

Li Liang has become the defensive vanguard of the Lakers' Clippers' era to the team's defensive hub.

This role change is crucial to Li Liang's career, meaning that he will truly grow into a pillar of a team, more pillar than any backcourt player.

This is why, Mike Brown has always wanted Li Liang to go in.

Only the inside line can have enough influence on the defensive end.

Brown wants to build Li Liang into a unique, offense and defense-wide Ultraman on the court!

Li Liang understood Brown's painstaking efforts, but playing in the inside line is really tiring! It's also very tiring to run around and block the eye on the defensive end!

Fortunately, Granger's recovery has put a lot of pressure on Li Liang to attack gambling.

During the counterattack, Granger failed to hit the basket, but McGee got the frontcourt rebound and passed the ball to Li Liang on the outside.

Li Liang took the ball without hesitation and made a three-pointer and scored again!

At the beginning, the Pacers played the Bucks 7:0, and the Bucks failed to score a goal in three minutes.

Kidd stood up from the bench and called for a pause.
Chapter completed!
