Chapter 608 The Challenge Is Coming

Li Liang started talking nonsense when he saw Granger.

Why do Chinese people want to drink water when they see old friends, and if they want to drink, they are also drinking!

But Li Liang's intentions were good, because he had put down the [Bruise Medicine under the Overpass] in the water.

The healing ability of this medicine for injuries is still very good. Although there is no way to restore it to the original state, it can greatly slow down the damage to sports ability caused by injuries.

The few guinea pigs who have been used, such as Nash, Kobe, Griffin, etc., needless to say, Nash recovered very well, but the decline will continue to decline when he gets old, and he finally retired.

Kobe's Achilles tendon also healed very quickly, but there was no way to recover to the state before the Achilles tendon ruptured, and some minor injuries were greatly reduced.

And Griffin, in the past there were various minor injuries. Since he drank the bruise medicine and had diarrhea for two days, his injuries rarely troubled Griffin.

Seeing this effect, Li Liang drank a drink during the off-season lottery draw, and then had diarrhea for five days... the chrysanthemums lost their elasticity.

With the protection of this medicine and a whole body of equipment, Li Liang basically doesn't have to worry about getting injured.

There happened to be another one in the exchange center, so Li Liang gave it to Granger as a gift.

Granger hasn't been with the Clippers for a long time, and he hasn't made any contribution to winning the championship, but he has a good relationship with Li Liang, because he is honest!

Li Liang just likes to be friends with honest people, because he is also an honest person.

Honest people can't let honest people be bullied.

People like Byrd should be condemned and counterattacked by honest people.

After Granger drank the mineral water that Li Liang gave, the whole training hall cheered and applauded, and their former boss returned.

Stephenson even rushed up to give Granger a hug, this was his former big brother.

Granger also looked very excited. After hearing the news of being traded, he was not depressed at all, but extremely happy.

The first and best years of his career were dedicated to Indiana.

Even if he was abandoned in the end, it's not the problem of the Pacers team. He still has deep feelings for this place, the familiar arena, the familiar yellow jersey, the familiar fans, the familiar cheers, the best of his career All memories are made here.

So he was very happy, and what was even happier was being able to be teammates with Li Liang.

Although this guy is a bit weird, he is really good at playing.

Just because Li Liang defeated James in the finals twice, Granger admired Li Liang very much, which was something he could never do in the Eastern Conference.

In addition to the players, the rest of the staff, trainers and even the cleaning aunt came to welcome Granger's return.

The only person who felt a little embarrassed, of course, was Larry Bird.

Granger was just sent away last year, and then he was slapped in the face crazily. The once good relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point.

Granger was brought back this year, Bird's psychological quality is really excellent.

Everything he did was for the team's victory, and he didn't take personal grievances to heart at all.

It's just that basketball is a team sport, and the team is composed of flesh and blood players. Sometimes grievances and hatred have a great impact on the players.

After everyone else shook hands and hugged Granger, Byrd came up last and held out his hand to Granger.

Granger looked at Byrd with a slightly complicated expression.

At the most difficult time for the Pacers, Bird used his wisdom to create a brand new Pacers, and Granger carried the team with his performance. .

When the Pacers were about to reach their peak, Bird sold Granger. Although he won a championship by playing crookedly, if Granger were to choose, he would rather stay in the Pacers and break through James with his comrades. And the Heat's domination of the Eastern Conference.

So Granger's feelings for Byrd are complicated.

After a pause of two seconds, Granger still extended his hand to shake Bird's hand, and then the two hugged tightly, embracing each other.

Subsequently, Granger participated in the return to the Pacers' first training.

To say that the [Brause Medicine under the Overpass] is really powerful, Granger's stomach started growling just as he was warming up.

I ran to the toilet three times in a short while, needless to say, I was running out of water!

After all, Granger is not injured now. Since there is no inflammation, it must be transferred to the stomach.

After four or five trips in the training hall, Granger asked Li Liang directly, "Bruce, what did you drink for me?"

"Oh, maybe this mineral water has expired? It's okay, keep it up, and I'll take you to train with me when you're better."

Granger spent his first day back with the Pacers in diarrhea.

...

After Granger first came to the team to report, several other players who were traded also arrived in Indian City.

JR-Smith and Shumpert from New York, and McGee from the Denver Plateau, the IQ of the entire Indiana has experienced a crisis of dimensionality reduction.

On the 19th, the Pacers held a press conference for the joining of new players at the Conseco Arena, and four people showed up with the Pacers' new jerseys.

Granger put on his familiar yellow No. 33, JR-Smith chose No. 23 jersey, Shumpert wore No. 1, and McGee used the traditional super insider number-No. 34!

This number embodies the glory of O'Neal, Olajuwon, and Barkley. It depends on what kind of performance McGee can play in Indiana. The media and fans in Indian City are still looking forward to it.

Bird, who was smiling brightly, didn't have much thought in his mind. McGee was exchanged purely because Hibbert really didn't perform well, and it didn't fit the Pacers' development strategy.

Bird's real hope is still pinned on JR-Smith, an excellent outside nerve knife. Whether he can improve the Pacers' poor outside shooting rate depends on him.

The Pacers rested for three full days, just giving time for new players to join the team and start to integrate.

After the press conference on the 19th, on November 20th, the Pacers are about to meet their first opponent after the trade, the Charlotte Hornets that were just renamed this summer.

The former New Orleans hornet has gone with the wind, changed from a bee to a bird, and changed its name to a pelican.

The Hornets team name is still coveted by the people of Charlotte.

Now that the New Orleans don't use it, let's recycle it and rename the ugly Charlotte Bobcats to the Charlotte Hornets.

In this way, the Hornets were reborn from the shell, resurrected from the dead, reborn in Charlotte, and continued to play in the NBA.

Michael Jordan made a drastic move in the summer. In addition to changing the team name, he also waved a checkbook to catch big fish, hoping to revive the Hornets' reputation in the new season.

Among them, Lance Stephenson is one of Jordan's goals, but with the arrival of Li Liang, Stephenson still stayed with the Pacers. After all, the temptation of the championship is very strong.

As a result, after fishing for a long time, I didn't catch a big fish. Leaving aside James, Li Liang, Anthony, and Bosh, I didn't even think about Charlotte.

The mid-level players, such as Ariza, Harrington, and Turner, didn't rush for any of them.

In the end, DeJuan Blair, who was not wanted by the Lone Ranger, and outside shooter Nick Young were brought in.

That's right, Yang Shaoxia came to play under Qiao Gangzhu.

After getting Wiggins, the Lakers no longer need a player like Nick Young who has no defense and only offense, but his three-pointers and offense ensure that he still has food in the league.

In fact, if he played beside Li Liang, he might get a lot of opportunities.

It's just that Indiana's high IQ is not allowed to be lowered.

Of course, the Hornets changed their team name after all, which is equivalent to adding a BUFF. At the beginning of the season, they were a little fierce and won several games.

Later, when the BUFF time came, the flaws in the lineup caused the team's record to start to collapse, and they lost consecutively.

Facing the Pacers with a brand-new lineup, the game has not started yet, and the vast majority of people are not optimistic about the Hornets.

However, there are no weak teams in the NBA, not to mention whether the Pacers' new lineup will be useful or not.

Especially with three time bombs in the team, it depends on whether Li Liang can control them.

But Li Liang didn't know that after he entered the NBA, the most miserable and hard years were coming.

The cold is getting better, and the normal update will resume, and all the previous debts will be made up.
