Chapter 618 Feels Good

Bird has never seen such a thick-skinned.

When Bird had a chance to get a quadruple-double, he didn't bother to go up after he got off the court, because he didn't care about statistics.

As a result, times have changed!

Li Liang used to be a wonderful guy who used his medals to collect points during the garbage time. Now that he has scored 49 points, you let him sit on the sidelines and watch the game?

How is it possible, if the regular season is not used to score points, what is the point?

The fans come to watch you score goals on the field, not to watch you sit on the field and pretend to be aggressive.

The concepts of the two generations of players have obviously deviated.

Bird just watched Li Liang on the court and scored 58 points.

The Trail Blazers players have no desire to stop them, and they are disabled.

Besides, 58 points is not too much, Li Liang did not hit 60 points.

He felt that the number 58 was very auspicious, and it reminded him of many good memories.

After the two-game losing streak, Li Liang used a 58-point scoring performance to help the Pacers beat the Trail Blazers.

Bird never expected that what Li Liang said before boarding the plane, "I want to be the scoring champion", turned out to be true.

From the looks of it, Bird didn't know Li Liang's nickname, and Li Liang must practice what he said!

After being suppressed for a period of time, public opinion ushered in an explosion after Li Liang's 58 points.

"Bruce Lee broke his seal."

"The Pacers need Bruce to step up and score."

"The king of threes is back."

It should be said that after coming to the Pacers, it still had a lot of influence on Li Liang's topic flow.

In China, he is still favored by thousands of people. Chinese fans are like migratory birds. Wherever Li Liang goes, they will pay attention to him.

But in the United States, Indiana is a large rural area after all, and it cannot be compared with Los Angeles in terms of news and public opinion.

Moreover, Wei Dazhi, Li Liang's queen reporter, stayed in Los Angeles, and there was a lot less news about Li Liang.

Of course Li Liang himself didn't care. If he cared, it was Under Armour.

However, the momentum of Under Armor this year is very fierce, because another potential stock they signed last summer, Stephen Curry ushered in a big explosion.

His performance in the Golden State Warriors was astounding, no less than Li Liang's outstanding performance.

The Warriors won big games every game, and they played smoothly. The passing and cutting cooperation was very beautiful, and the three-pointer was even more explosive.

The same is gold, the Warriors are gold, the Lakers are Zijin, and the Pacers can only be corn...

The corn finally gave out a brilliant brilliance, which is considered dazzling.

After winning the Trail Blazers, the Pacers rushed to Sacramento non-stop to challenge the Kings back-to-back away games.

In this match, Li Liang failed to continue his miracle, because he couldn't hold on anymore.

He played three games in the equivalent of two days.

One of them was the Finals against the Detroit Pistons.

The outbreak with the Blazers consumed a lot of his energy. As a result, on December 5, facing the not-so-strong King, the Pacers played very hard.

The two sides fought all the way to overtime. Li Liang made a rare hit during the regular season, only making 8 of 21 shots, and suddenly became a master.

Li Liang scored consecutive goals in overtime, but King Cousins ​​dominated overtime, and McGee succeeded again and again in singles in the paint.

If you don't have a brain and you are unhappy, you can hit one accurately.

In the end, the Kings were at home, 103:102, with a 1-point advantage over the Pacers.

Li Liang took 25 shots and scored 27 points. Just after the shock of 58 points was over, it was an iron game.

The pressure of being the boss is indeed not ordinary.

The season has just started, and the Pacers have lost 7 games in 20 games.

Created the worst start of the season in Li Liang's career.

After ending a painful four-game streak and achieving a poor record of 1 win and 3 losses, the Pacers can finally go back to their hometown to rest.

Li Liang also needs to take a rest, and needs to be replenished physically and mentally.

At the same time, the mentality and state of the Pacers team need to be adjusted.

The running-in is still going on, and the schedule is not waiting for anyone. It is not an offseason, and the teams will not give you time to produce a chemical reaction.

In this case, you can only use the game as a substitute to find and solve problems in actual combat.

The head coach Bird's mentality is still very good, and he is not as anxious as Vogel and Brown.

In fact, when Li Liang said "I want to win the scoring champion", Bird felt with the intuition of a former superstar that Li Liang must have his own strong ideas.

This kind of thinking is the gap between an ordinary superstar and a real historical superstar.

Therefore, Bird decided not to interfere with Li Liang, let him decide how to play, and lead the Pacers out of the current predicament.

And Li Liang's solution to the predicament is very simple.

He no longer thinks about teaching Sansha, which is an impossible task.

God didn't educate them well, so how could Li Liang teach them well?

And they are all excellent players, accepting their shortcomings and carrying forward their strengths is the right way.

The only thing Li Liang can do is to make himself stronger!

After returning to Indiana, during the two-day rest period, Li Liang retreated again.

He retreated to his house and did not participate in the team's practice organized the next day.

He entered the system, ready to concentrate on solving the Detroit Pistons in 2004, and wiped Corvo's ass.

...

The Staples Stadium in June 2004, after entering the 21st century, here is the center of the American basketball world.

The shocking dynasty performance of the Los Angeles Lakers has given the Lakers a large number of fans in the new century.

After they failed in the semi-finals in 2003, they formed F4 in 2004 and made a comeback.

All the way to the finals without any risk, facing the old rivals in history, the Detroit Pistons.

This is the fourth time the Pistons have reached the Finals, three of which were against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Therefore, the Lakers and Pistons can be regarded as a pair of rivals.

The two teams also represent the style of their respective divisions.

An extremely gorgeous, full of talent, powerful firepower, star-studded.

A strong and simple, common people's division, team basketball, a symbol of blue collar.

Just like the confrontation between the two teams in 1988 and 1989, more than ten years have passed, the people have changed, but the temperament of the team has not changed.

Li Liang was already on the court wearing Kobe's No. 8 jersey.

I played twice in the system before, winning one game and losing one game, but none of the six three-point goals were achieved.

In the mission, first of all, the rune system cannot be used, so the feel is not as stable as usual.

Secondly, skills and props cannot be used. Without [Zero Second Shot], Li Liang's three-point shooting speed will drop a notch, which is a huge challenge to his anti-interference ability.

Finally, the Pistons' defense is really airtight.

Especially without Malone in the back, a very important tactical point is missing, and the offense of the whole team is very suppressed.

In the winning game, Li Liang relied on feeding more balls to O'Neal, and then needed a stronger inside defense to help the Lakers win the opponent.

But winning is not enough, you have to score 6 three-pointers.

It's killing me.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Liang felt that he still needed to think carefully.

The Lakers wore a rare white home jersey tonight, with the O'Brien Cup logo embroidered on the neckline.

The Lakers' starting lineup is O'Neal, Malone, Payton, Kobe Bryant and Devin George.

The Pistons' starting lineup is their later classic five tigers, double Wallace inside, small forward Tyshawn Prince, Billups and Hamilton in the backcourt.

The referee for this game is none other than the bald Crawford that Li Liang hates the most.

At the beginning of the jump ball, Crawford called O'Neal a violation, and the first offense of the finals was given to the Pistons.

Li Liang knew that for the next first offense, the Pistons would adopt a tactic in which Hamilton would circle without the ball, and Rasheed Wallace would pull out after the screen to shoot a three-pointer.

So he immediately interfered with Billups's pass to Wallace, which blocked the Pistons' offense. When the last 24 seconds were approaching, Billups had to force his own shot and missed.

"Kobe seems to have seen through the Pistons' offensive tactics, and his defensive positioning is very predictable."

It is none other than Li Liang's former coach Rivers who is explaining on the sidelines tonight.

At the beginning of the 03-04 season, Rivers left the Magic, briefly ended his coaching career, and switched to the commentary industry.

However, his broken gong-like voice is obviously not suitable for long-term development in the commentary world.

So, he will get back a coaching job soon.

In fact, this is not Kobe. Apart from defending desperately like a mad dog and occasionally doing a freestyle, how could Kobe be so predictable.

This is Li Liang's defensive awareness!

Well, this is after he played twice, he knew the opponent's opening routine.

Then it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Under the coaching of Phil Jackson, the Lakers still adhere to the triangle offense.

It's just that a guard like Gary Payton, who lacks pitchers and mainly uses post-backs as his offensive method, has never been able to exert his power in the triangle offense.

With Li Liang's basketball IQ, things like the triangle offense are not a problem at all.

Let's put it this way, when he was at the University of Kentucky, Li Liang was not good at playing, but he was proficient in all other tactics and running positions.

Noble water dispenser lineage, is the yearly VIP seat next to the coach fake?

As for the triangle offense, Li Liang understood what was going on after two games.

He holds the ball on the right and looks for Karl Malone at the corner.

But Li Liang was not going to really pass the ball, he knew that the Pistons would shrink at the beginning.

His primary goal now is nothing else, but to score three points as soon as possible!

Before the terrifying defensive machine of the Pistons is fully operational, try your hand!

So, Hamilton, who was facing Li Liang, glanced back for a moment, and for a moment of distraction, Li Liang directly made a three-pointer!

He took advantage of his height and shot directly over Hamilton's head.

Without the [Zero Second Shot] skill, you must be more cautious in your shot selection.

Without the rune bonus, you need to pay more attention to the adjustment and maintenance of the feel.

"Shua!"

The goal was scored and a three-pointer was hit at the beginning!

The scene was full of cheers, and the fans didn't care if they played reasonably or not.

Besides, this is Kobe, what is reasonable?

And Li Liang clenched his fist, thinking, it feels good tonight.
