Chapter eight hundred and twentieth the real head coach
During the mission, he followed Thurmond to learn technology from scratch, and Li Liang found that this was a time-consuming job.
The system no longer provides rewards in the technical dimension, everything is like in the real world, improving little by little.
And in the real world, he continued to fight around with his Thunder teammates.
After the All-Star Game, two more days off, the Thunder welcomed the Indiana Pacers at home.
This is the first time Li Liang met his old club this season.
Compared to last season, the Pacers are beyond recognition.
Li Liang, McGee, JR Smith, Kevin Garnett, David West and others all left, and the main players who won the championship were wiped out.
Bird returned to the position of general manager and returned to Vogel, continuing to be the manipulator behind the scenes, planning the next rise of the Pacers.
The Pacers' head core changed from Li Liang to Stephenson, and the three fools became big fools. This lineup has no future.
Therefore, the Pacers failed to survive three rounds at the Thunder's home energy center. The Thunder made a three-quarter pass and took the lead early.
In the end, 113:101, 12 points defeated the Pacers at home.
After the game, Bird came down from the stands and shook hands and hugged Li Liang.
This time when I came to the Oscar City competition, Bird specially wore the championship ring on his hand, which was the one that the Pacers won last year.
This championship ring has not been sent to Li Liang because Li Liang has never been to Indiana competition.
According to the league's schedule, the Thunder's away game to the Pacers was scheduled for March.
Therefore, for Li Liang, the express delivery time was a bit long.
"In March, we'll be waiting for you in Yincheng." Bird and Li Liang said.
Li Liang nodded. To be honest, he really missed the Indiana countryside a little.
Although Ocheng is also a big rural area, Yincheng is more interesting in comparison.
After all, it is a sports city. It is still quite interesting to watch racing and NFL competitions in your spare time.
And in Ok City, go to the zoo?
However, it is precisely because there is nothing fun in Oshi City that Li Liang can devote all his energy to basketball.
In addition to continuing the task of mental ability in the system, Li Liang also continued to complete the tasks of bench life.
He successfully became a coach twice, once in the third game of the playoffs in 2005, the Houston Rockets defeated the Dallas Mavericks at home, successfully turning the big score of the series to 3:0, and sentenced the Mavericks to death.
Li Liang felt very happy in coaching this game.
When Li Liang was watching this game, he was still in junior high school in China.
Yao Ming led the team to a 2:0 lead away, and the situation in the series can be said to be very good.
As a result, he returned to home court and lost two consecutive games, but was equalized by the Mavericks and lost all his momentum.
In the end, he lost 40 points in the seventh game, and McGrady burst into tears on the sidelines. This was the first year of the combination of McGrady and Yao Ming.
No one expected that this was their peak and he could never break through the first round curse.
Later, it was rumored that there was a manipulation behind this round of series, especially when saving the ball outside the world in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain. The referee's mistake was too obvious and it had to be doubtful.
When Li Liang was watching this round of the series, he was so angry that he couldn't eat lunch for two days.
This time in the system, as the head coach, he finally gave out his anger back then.
For this reason, Li Liang also called his old fan Jeff Van Gundy and asked him how you lost back then.
Logically speaking, the arrangements made by Van Gundy in the first two games were very exciting.
Leon Bowen, which is probably the worst player in the league, is against Nowitzki, and McGrady is used to defend Nowitzki in the second game, which has all worked miraculously.
Why did you feel stool when you go back to Houston?
To be honest, the Mavericks' head coach, General Johnson, is really not very good at it, and the highest moments of his coaching career are concentrated in the three years of 2005, 2006, 2007.
In the 2006 finals, the Lone Walkers were reversed, and then in 2007, the Lone Walkers won the league's first place 67, and then suffered a terrible black eight in the playoffs. Since then, Avery Johnson's fortune on the NBA coach's seat has been declared decay.
Van Gundy didn't know what Li Liang called to ask what these things meant, but he still exchanged his experiences with Li Liang, talked about some past events, the situation within the team, and some small questions about the referee.
Li Liang took the small notebook and wrote it one by one. He had already had some experience in head coaching and quickly formulated measures and strategies to deal with it. After trying twice, he finally led the Rockets to defeat the Lone Walkers Eight for the third time and won the third game at the Toyota Center.
The big score of the series became 3:0. If history was really like this, Yao Ming's career would definitely have changed.
Just after completing this task, Li Liang did not expect that the task of the 2006 finals was followed, and he wanted to replace Avery Johnson and lead the Mavericks to defeat the Heat.
It was almost the same script. That year, the Mavericks also led 2:0 in the finals, and the situation was very good. The Heat had no power to fight back in the first two games.
In the third game, the Mavericks almost took the lead 3:0.
They led the Heat by 9 points before the start of the fourth quarter, and played the Heat 34:16 in the third quarter.
As a result, at the last moment, Nowitzki, who hit 90 free throws, could have equalized the score twice, but only hit one, missing a good opportunity.
This is very likely to be the retribution of Nowitzki relied on free throws to kill the Spurs in the Western Conference semi-finals. The free throw came very strangely. Ginobili inexplicably reached out with the team leading by 3 points, allowing Nowitzki to score 21.
After losing the third game, the Mavericks were in a slump and lost four consecutive games to the championship.
After all, since 2003, any team that eliminated the Spurs in the Western Conference playoffs will probably not end up with Tim Duncan's curse.
Li Liang's mission is not the third one, but the key battle of Tianwang Mountain.
In that game, the Mavericks lost by one point, which was also extremely frustrating in losing, and it was also a controversial round of the series.
When Li Liang received this task, he felt that this might be avenge and revenge. In another five years, the Mavericks will take revenge on the Heat in the finals.
I can only say that in NBA, it has always been a revenge.
When you come out to make a living, you always have to pay it back. If you don’t want to pay it back, there is only one way to become a god.
Li Liang, who has played three finals, knows that in the fifth game of the series, it is often not a matter of tactics, but a matter of mentality.
As the head coach, how to adjust and motivate the mentality of the players is the top priority.
In this regard, Li Liang has natural advantages.
In the entire NBA, no one knows how to be a boss better than him, and no one knows how to perform better in the finals than him.
Li Liang passed this mission at one time to help Nowitzki build confidence, and at the same time, he specifically targeted Wade on the defensive end. The most controversial part of the 2006 finals was Wade. From this series, the term "body whistle" appeared.
Wade's mid-range jump shot and unstoppable free throws made him called "Jordan, who is five centimeters shorter."
Li Liang believes that Avery Johnson's experience in such a situation is still too inexperienced, and it is incomparable to the opposing manipulator Pat Riley.
Riley was simply at the level of the NBA master in encouraging the morale of the players and delivering speeches.
The strategy given by Li Liang in the mission is also very simple. Since I touch you and call you a foul, it would be better to punch you directly, anyway, it would be a foul.
Li Liang asked the Mavericks players to deal with Wade in a more rude and barbaric way to destroy Wade's offensive rhythm.
You are Jordan who is five centimeters shorter, so let's deal with you by dealing with Jordan.
This method has indeed worked, and the Mavericks are already stronger.
Without the confidence being destroyed, they successfully saved the fruit of victory, defeated the Heat by 103:100 and 3 points, and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
At the moment the task was completed, Li Liang let out a long sigh, and a row of subtitles flashed in front of him:
Chapter completed!
