Chapter 449: Beat Your Son

When Li Liang was feeling a little sad about the separation from his friend, the media all over the United States were bragging about Li Liang's three-pointer.

The three-point record created by Kobe and Marshall was just broken.

An ESPN article titled "Three Points, Changing the League" was spread on major social media networks and BBS platforms.

The example cited by ESPN is Li Liang.

Li Liang's terrible three-pointer is changing the spatial structure on the court.

The three-point shot has always been important in the past, but no player has been able to shoot it as accurately as he has.

In fact, this season, Li Liang's three-point shooting percentage has declined compared to last season.

However, his output has increased, the number of shots has increased, the number of hits has increased, and the hit rate has dropped slightly, which is reasonable.

The second player mentioned in the article is Stephen Curry, saying that "Curry could have become the face of the league's 3-point shooting if it wasn't for Bruce Lee."

Curry's performance outside the three-point line this season is also surprising, but it is slightly inferior to Li Liang.

Of course, the article also pointed out that Li Liang's three-pointer is still very different from Curry's. "One is more proactive, and the other still needs enough support from his teammates."

The latter is of course Li Liang.

Because Li Liang's more shots are assisted three-pointers, while Curry is autonomous three-pointers and has a stronger tactical initiative.

But in any case, Li Liang's terrible three-pointer made other teams in the league seriously study and consider how to strengthen their defense.

The current offensive configuration of the Clippers can be said to be perfect.

Li Liang's three-pointer, Paul's mid-range, Griffin's strong play at the basket, each level has efficient and stable scoring points, making it difficult for opponents to guard against.

You shrink, Li Liang's three-pointer is too scary, one person can beat the other team's shooters.

You don't shrink, Paul is able to do a job between the three-point line and the three-second zone, and cooperates with Griffin to attack the city.

Originally, I expected Popovich to write homework for everyone to copy, but the old man gave the most common answer: hard calculation.

It is equivalent to a high school math teacher teaching problem-solving skills, not giving any clever methods, but asking students to improve their computing skills and use the most direct method to brute force.

"With your IQ, you won't be able to learn a special method, so I'll teach you the simplest and most direct method!"

Popovich may also have the same idea. Instead of trying to deviate from the door, it is better to improve the defensive hard power!

At the beginning, the Spurs have Leonard, an excellent defensive embryo, what do you let other teams do?

Besides, even Leonard, wouldn't he be shot into a sieve?

Defensive coaches of all teams are undoubtedly starting to have a headache.

The person who knows Li Liang's technical characteristics best and how to defend Li Liang is Mike Brown.

But he is in the Clippers now!

It's all over, let the teams slowly try to recruit.

Anyway, to deal with players with strong shots, in general, there are only a few more effective tricks.

It's just that the defensive coach has to consider not only the defense against Li Liang alone, but also the characteristics of his own team's players, as well as the stability of the overall defensive formation.

The entire defensive formation cannot be completely destroyed because of Li Liang alone.

Otherwise, if five people hold hands and frame Li Liang in a circle, it will definitely prevent him from making three-pointers, but the others can do whatever they want.

Because Li Liang can pass the ball, theoretically speaking, this tactic is only effective against Kobe.

On the 17th, Li Liang participated in the team training normally.

Lamar Odom can finally see Li Liang in practice.

For Odom, last night's game really surprised him.

The three-pointer is almost how to shoot, and the shot is extremely decisive, which makes people see the shadow of No. 24 in Los Angeles.

That night Odom was frantically waving the towel on the sidelines, even if Li Liang failed to make a three-pointer behind him, Odom would stand up and raise his hands in worship.

When Li Liang scored the 13th three-pointer, Odom directly knelt down on one knee, imitating the kneeling action of the Under Armour boss to Li Liang on the night of 60 points.

One night, Odom became Li Liang's "mysterious brother".

No, in terms of age, he should be called Brother Mi.

Of course, with Odom's seniority in the league, it is not known whether he is really convinced to become a fan, or whether he wants to hug Li Liang's thigh tightly so that the Clippers can survive.

Anyway, starting from the training on the 17th, Li Liang felt that he had an extra follower.

Odom kept finding various opportunities to fight against Li Liang, and even wanted to invite Li Liang to the nightclub after training.

Of course Li Liang refused, he was not interested in nightclubs or anything.

And Li Liang warned Odom, "You have to play hard this year. The goal of the Clippers is the championship. We don't need people who don't want to be champions."

Odom is still carrying a short contract. Seeing that the close strategy failed, he immediately changed his strategy and began to train hard.

Odom not only conducted strength exercises, but also invited Li Liang to conduct a one-on-one duel.

Li Liang thought, you can't beat me even when you are young in the system, but now you are being raped by sex, you still want to fight me one-on-one?

In 20 minutes, Li Liang used a simple and practical attack with the ball and an extremely oppressive defense to beat Odom to Kardashian.

Only at this time did Odom realize that he had really been drained too much by alcohol, sex and drugs, and it took a lot of hard work to get back to the passing line.

Li Liang reminded Odom, "If you don't take recovery training seriously, you will no longer have your position in the NBA. You may have to go to Europe, China or even the Philippines to play."

Odom is also a famous star in the league anyway, and he also has a ring on his hand.

It turned out to be taught like this by a young man in the second grade, it's just... so reasonable!

Odom felt that Li Liang's words inspired him, and decided to take the time to start recovery training seriously.

Quit drinking and sex, put all your energy into basketball!

...

Li Liang just told the truth to Odom, not knowing that a small change in the fate of a player.

The NBA season is still going on. On the 18th, the Clippers played against the Pelicans at home again.

Li Liang's big brother, Anthony Davis visited Los Angeles!

Davis has improved even more this season, with a stronger body, more sophisticated skills, and even thicker eyebrows.

Every time Li Liang plays with Davis, he is quite happy, and the two always have a good chat before the game.

Li Liang was quite accurate in fortune-telling and reading for Davis, and Davis felt that Li Liang had given him a lot of help.

This time Li Liang didn't show Davis a picture, but felt that there was something wrong with Davis' new uniform.

New Orleans people don't use the good name of the Hornets, so they have to change it to the Pelicans.

In their call for a new team name, other candidates include Werewolves, Swamp Dogs, and even Mosquitoes!

New Orleans mosquitoes?

From then on, when the TV station broadcasts the news, it will say this: Team XXX debunks the Magic, and Team XXX shoots mosquitoes to death.

How miserable, if you lose, you will be shot to death.

On the whole, the Pelican is still better, but it still lacks some of the domineering mascot.

And their new mascot shape has been asked to be redesigned because it is too scary.

Li Liang said to Davis: "Anthony, I think about it from the perspective of our Chinese characters. Your new team name, Pelican, in Chinese characters, it is next to the two characters of bird. Pelican is indeed a bird, but he You must live in the water! Without water, the Pelicans cannot survive. So, if you play for a while in the Pelicans, you have to play with a team next to the word water, which will be more suitable for you!"

Anthony Davis doesn't know Chinese characters, he doesn't know what Li Liang is talking about next to the word "bird" or "water".

Anyway, this senior is used to talking nonsense, and sometimes it is quite useful, let me write it down, maybe it can be used as a guide in the future?

After the daily nonsense is over, Li Liang will teach his juniors a lesson on the court as usual.

In fact, Davis's talent is really high, and the time improvement in an offseason is quite large.

If Li Liang confronts Davis head-on, he will suffer.

But how could someone like Li Liang confront Davis head-on.

He must have pushed the short-armed Griffin to the front as a shield, and shot a cold arrow behind him.

The problem for the Pelicans is the same as before, the 3rd position is not enough. Li Liang felt very relaxed every time he played against the Hornets last season, and this season is no exception.

Li Liang directly asked Rivers to reduce his time in the fourth position and let him play more in the third position in tonight's game.

"Let me play the third position more, and don't let me blow up your son!"

That's right, Rivers' son Austin Rivers is on the Pelicans, but as a backup point guard.

Rivers really doesn't know, how can you blow up my son?

As a result, Li Liang really beat Rivers in the game.

He came over to make Li Liang an offensive foul during a breakthrough, but Li Liang made a sudden stop for a jump shot. When he raised his hand, he rubbed his elbow on Rivers' nose, causing his nose to bleed!

It turned out to be such an explosion!

The game itself does not have much suspense, and the strength gap between the two sides is relatively large.

The Clippers, who were playing at home, kept suppressing the Pelicans from the first quarter.

They are now in their best form. As long as Rivers is in charge, the team can win.

Sometimes Li Liang looked at Rivers sitting on the bench and felt that he was getting more and more like Mike Brown next to him.
