Chapter 621: Ködinger's Dice
When Li Liang woke up from his dream, it was already noon on December 9th.
Indiana has entered winter, and Li Liang's apartment is very warm with the heating turned on.
However, after Li Liang got up from the bed, he opened the window of the bedroom to let the cold wind from outside blow in.
The cold wind blowing on Li Liang's face made him feel very comfortable, and at the same time he became more awake.
In the battle against the Pistons in the system last night, Li Liang was very exhausted, so he slept very deeply.
The team didn't go to the training session at noon. When I checked my phone, there was no information about the coach.
Byrd is now used to Li Liang's absenteeism from training, not to mention Mike Brown, he will be happy if Li Liang doesn't go.
There are only a few text messages from Zhu Shu on the phone, telling him to eat on time, and there is also a message asking Li Liang if he is interested in endorsement by some local Indiana businesses.
"Reply to me and make a decision. My phone is about to explode every day."
When Li Liang saw this, his head felt like it was about to explode.
Indiana local businesses, the most famous are several large agricultural products, and various agricultural machinery manufacturers.
Li Liang thought to himself, as an idol basketball superstar, why don't there be any luxury sports cars, high-end watches or luxury brands looking for me to endorse?
Doesn't my temperament meet their requirements?
Let me do the endorsement of agricultural products and agricultural machinery, how to endorse?
Smiling with a cornflake box in hand?
Or sit on a tractor and watch the sunset?
Li Liang felt ashamed even thinking about it, so forget it.
Besides, if I really end up with such an endorsement, my father will definitely let him accept the tractor advertisement of his own.
No, no, Li Liang immediately wanted to send a message to Zhu Shu.
But after editing it, I hesitated for a while, deleted it, and replied again: "Is our family short of money?"
After a while, Zhu Shu replied to the message, "It's not very short, save some money."
After the two got together, Li Liang's money belonged to Zhu Shu. If she said there was no shortage, then there must be no shortage.
Therefore, Li Liang decided not to make these endorsements with confidence.
When I am short of money in the future, for example, I have retired and have no work to do, it will not be too late to endorse agricultural machinery products, chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
After eating, Li Liang took a bath and had a good rest at home.
There is a game tonight.
After winning the Pistons, Li Liang's [Strong Three-Point Shooting] ability value soared to 80 points!
This ability point should be said to be very high, and Li Liang also obtained a special item, [Kodinger's Dice].
[Ködinger's dice: used in competitions, six-sided dice, six numbers, three red and three black, when the red number is thrown, the next number of shots with the same number as the number will be hit, and the black number is the opposite, and then The number of shots that are the same as the number will miss. Note: Please use it with caution! 】
Li Liang looked at this prop and really sighed.
Every time I do Corvo's mission, it always brings me some surprises!
The previous [Ködinger's box] has been left in the system to eat ashes.
Because it is too risky to use in real games.
If it is used in system tasks, there is no special need so far.
Now comes another dice.
1~6 numbers, where odd numbers are red and even numbers are black.
The probability is half and half, if you accidentally hit a six point, it will be over, and the next six shots will be ironed!
This is very in line with Lao Ke's style.
This thing must be useful if it is said to be useful, but the side effects are indeed not small.
Even if he put all his eggs in one basket at a critical moment, Li Liang didn't dare to use this dice.
After all, if he is allowed to shoot the lore, with other skills and props, the hit rate will be higher than 50%.
Unless the bad luck of this dice can be transferred to others?
But this is too much.
Li Liang has no such props yet.
It's useless for now, so put it away first.
...
That night, Li Liang drove to the Conseco Arena, where the Pacers will play against the Atlanta Hawks at home tonight.
The Pacers lost to the Eagles before. The Eagles have made great strides this season and currently occupy the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Budenholzer brought the Spurs' team basketball concept to the Eagles, coupled with the Eagles' balanced lineup, set off a whirlwind for the Eagles in the East.
This is a bit like the Pacers before, and now the Pacers have become a single-core team with Li Liang as the core.
Moreover, how this single-core team should operate, there is no accurate answer from the coach to the players.
Li Liang doesn't want to care so much, if you can't do it, then I'll do it.
If you can keep up with me, follow me, if you can't keep up with me, I just pull you away.
The game starts promptly at 7:30pm.
The Conseco arena was full again, and the arrival of Li Liang was like adding fuel to the Pacers' ball market.
Originally, the tickets sold well, but now the ratings and the enthusiasm of the fans are extremely high.
Everyone came to see Li Liang's game.
Li Liang did not disappoint the audience and fans. As soon as the game started, Li Liang, who got the ball, went straight to the basket with the ball and dunked with one arm!
Then it hit McGee with a "bang"...
The two collided, the ball fell off the baseline, and the turnover...
"Why are you blocking me?"
"I hid."
"Why did I bump into you after you hid?"
"You are too fast!"
"..."
This is the first time for Li Liang to hear others comment on him as fast, and it is also the first time that he thinks that fast is not a good word?
Am I that fast?
It was a mistake at the beginning, what a good start.
Obviously, McGee has not entered the game state.
Li Liang knew that it was impossible to defeat the three idiots logically, so let's use performance to drive them.
Seemingly influenced by the Detroit Pistons in the system mission, Li Liang focused on defense at the beginning.
When a team has ups and downs in record and status, improving defense is always the most effective means.
The Pacers are already a strong defensive team, and the foundation is still there.
After the return of David West, the Pacers' inside defense has become more stable.
The Eagles, whose offense has always been smooth this season, struggled at the beginning.
Facing Li Liang, Korver couldn't get rid of this point no matter how he ran, and even got a cap and a steal.
Soon, the Pacers ended the first quarter with a 4-point lead at 27:23.
After Li Liang missed the first dunk, he did not continue to attack.
According to his previous experience playing against the Eagles, to deal with a team like the Eagles, he still needs to work hard in two or three quarters to bring them down.
In the second quarter, Li Liang returned to the court after a period of rest and started his scoring performance.
With his strong three-point shooting ability rising to 80 points, he is basically unstoppable outside the three-point line.
Both David West and McGee provided good screens. With one screen, Li Liang could shoot directly from the outside.
Any breakthrough, any emergency stop jump shot, is not as easy as Lao Tzu's strong three-pointer.
Once Li Liang opens this point, nerve knives like Smith and Finsen will become hot.
They are all the kind of players who can add fuel to the fire and add icing on the cake when their morale rises.
And once they fall into that anxious and stressful state, they are easy to get offline.
It's not that I'm afraid of pressure, but I'm under pressure.
Li Liang's consecutive three-pointers, combined with JR-Smith and Finson's three-pointers, the Pacers rained three-pointers in the second quarter, opening the point difference to more than 10 points, and the Eagles were stunned. .
Korver, who performed well before and had a high percentage of outside three-pointers, faced Li Liang on both offense and defense, and that was a disaster.
The gap in overall ability between the two is still too large, and Li Liang is not afraid of Korver's single offensive striker at all.
Without Korver to open up the space, the Eagles' offensive position is missing a corner.
For a team-based team, if there is one missing link in tactical mitigation, the whole will easily collapse.
This is the so-called low fault tolerance rate.
This is why many team-based teams, who play well in the regular season, just can't do superstar basketball in the playoffs.
Because superstar basketball has a high fault tolerance rate.
At the end of the first half, the Pacers had 66:53, leading the Eagles by as many as 13 points.
And Li Liang scored 24 points in the half, and made 4 of 7 three-pointers, showing the power of a superstar.
Because the game was so smooth, Li Liang almost wanted to play [Ködinger's Dice].
Afterwards, I took deep breaths repeatedly and suppressed my desire to sit still, so I didn't take out the dice from the system.
Otherwise, it is likely to be an audio-visual feast.
