Chapter 624 I'm Fair

Although Li Liang suspected that Bird had never won the scoring title, he didn't want him to.

But he has no evidence, and the opponent is the head coach. This Bird is not Mike Brown, so he is not so easy to talk about.

After playing the Raptors, Li Liang's scoring average has risen to 30 points, ranking first in the league.

This is the first time that Li Liang has occupied the first place in the scoring list, and he is the only player who has averaged more than 30 points per game this season.

If he can maintain this scoring momentum, this season's scoring champion will indeed be in his pocket.

However, since O'Neal in 2000, there has never been a scoring champion who can get involved in the championship.

Scoring seems to be a curse.

Would Li Liang care about this curse?

He cares about shit.

If you have no strength, just say you have no strength. Don't talk about "historical laws" all the time. I, Gan Liliang, are the destroyers of historical laws.

After playing the Raptors, the Pacers tossed back home to play the Trail Blazers.

After the Blazers were ravaged by Li Liang in the previous game, they learned their lesson in this game and set many traps for Li Liang.

Li Liang's performance was indeed subject to some restrictions.

From the current point of view, Li Liang's scoring ability is indeed very strong, but he is still not without dead ends.

His biggest dead end is the mid-range jumper.

Even with the ability [Cassel Ugly Smile], his mid-range pull-up jump shot is not particularly sure.

Not to mention difficult fadeaway jumpers and direct pull-ups.

The Blazers took a fancy to this, and desperately drove Li Liang to the middle distance, closing the three-point line and the three-second zone.

Li Liang's offensive efficiency declined.

But Smith stood up in this game and made a direct three-pointer from the outside.

With a super high shooting rate of 7 of 9 shots, he scored 25 points alone!

This is JR-Smith's best game since he came to the Pacers.

After hitting consecutive three-pointers, he performed his signature "Eastern Undefeated" celebration, pinching flowers with both hands and kneeling on one knee.

It was a game where Smith built up his confidence.

In the previous game, Smith played unstable and had little confidence in his three-pointers.

Especially with a three-point king like Li Liang in the team, Smith was a little nervous, fearing that he could not shoot well.

Now it's all right, Smith seems to have opened up the second line of Ren and Du, and I believe that in his future games, he will shoot three-pointers more and more confidently.

Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing.

There is already a Finsen, and I don't know what kind of sparks they will have in the future games.

Relying on Smith's excellent performance, the Pacers defeated the Blazers by 100:92 at home by 8 points and continued their winning streak.

The Pacers have scored more than 100 points in many consecutive games, which is really different from the beginning of the season.

What is surprising is that the Pacers scored more than 100 points not because the team began to emphasize offense, but because they began to emphasize defense.

It can only be said that on the basketball court, offense and defense are always integrated, and it is difficult for you to completely separate them.

Li Liang could feel that the Pacers were walking on the right path.

From the Lakers to the Clippers, and then from the Clippers to the Pacers, every change of team is a challenge for Li Liang.

He not only needs to improve his ability, but also find a style of play that suits him and the team.

After playing the Trail Blazers, Bird had to feel that Li Liang's ability to adjust and adapt is really strong, and he is already catching up with his original self.

After beating the Pacers, Li Liang is about to usher in another old club.

That is the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kobe, and Howard, and the new champion, Andrew Wiggins.

...

On December 15, the Lakers arrived in India.

That night, Li Liang invited Kobe to eat Kobe beef at a Japanese restaurant in Yincheng.

This is a good Japanese restaurant in Indiana.

Li Liang originally wanted to find a Chinese restaurant, but the quality of Chinese restaurants in Yincheng is not good.

Kobe's name was originally related to Kobe steak, so it is reasonable for Li Liang to invite Kobe to eat Japanese food.

When old people reunite, they are extremely jealous... No, it should be intimate.

After hugging each other, they started complaining to each other. Li Liang said bluntly, "Kobe, you will never win a championship without me."

Kobe said: "It doesn't matter, I can't fit the ring on one hand."

Li Liang said: "I will also wear my toes."

"Then you're going back to China to play your own league."

After a few words to each other, the two happily had dinner together.

After eating, Kobe still couldn't help asking Li Liang, "Bruce, is it true that you said you'd go back to the Lakers? When?"

Li Liang didn't answer directly, but asked: "How about it, is the new No. 1 pick not as good as me?"

Of course Li Liang was talking about Wiggins.

Before Wiggins entered the league, his momentum was not insignificant, and he was simply second to James.

And he went to the Lakers, and the attention was extremely high.

As a result, Wiggins' performance in the Lakers can only be said to be tepid.

With a stable score of more than ten or twenty points in each game, the Lakers' record has also reached the level of the playoffs.

But if you want to say how amazing it is, it's not as good as Li Liang back then.

It may be that fans and the media have too high expectations for Wiggins.

As the boss of the team, Kobe's own experience is the most profound.

When Li Liang was there, the Lakers were a rope, a championship-level team.

When Wiggins was there, the Lakers... Anyway, not too different from before.

It won't be impossible to make the playoffs like last season, but the championship...it feels worse than the Clippers.

Kobe's state is actually good, and he still has the ability to score about 25 points in a single game.

Howard is still declining, but after recovering from injuries this season, he has recovered very well.

He lost his weight, put more energy on the defensive end, and less and less autonomous offense.

But overall, the strength of the Lakers has fallen too much compared to two years ago.

The relationship between Bryant and Howard has not been very harmonious.

As for Wiggins, Kobe hates iron and steel, this kid is really talented, but...

So, when Kobe heard Li Liang's question, he pouted and shook his head, "He doesn't even practice extra. I challenged him one-on-one, and if I beat him, he didn't want to win back."

I think when Li Liang was with the Lakers, he often challenged Kobe to one-on-one.

If you can't beat it, you still have to fight, the more frustrated you become, the more courageous you become, until you can take advantage of the heads-up.

When I got to Wiggins, I didn't have any ambitions at all. Training games every day was like clocking in and going to and from get off work.

He is still a rookie, and the outside world's evaluation is so high.

The key point is that Wiggins' mentality is really good. In such a stressful place in Los Angeles, no matter how others criticize him or compare him with Li Liang, he will not be moved. With a peaceful mind, he was also a person who did great things in ancient times.

Li Liang comforted Corvo a few words, and said: "Corvo, stop fighting and retire, you can't win the championship. If you want to win the championship, you might as well be with me, just like Mike."

A disdainful smile appeared on Kobe's face.

He was often too lazy to refute some of Li Liang's remarks.

Disgraceful, drop in price.

I am dignified Kobe Bryant, follow you for the championship?

I don't even want to follow O'Neill, why should I follow you?

Li Liang also had a good time, teasing Kobe, and by the way blacking Brown.

To be honest, if Kobe wanted to follow him, Li Liang's team would not be able to afford it.

40 million to get a blacksmith?

Sorry, there isn't such a big smithy.

The two joked with each other and had a full meal.

When it was over, Li Liang asked Kobe to settle the bill.

"Isn't it your treat?" Kobe asked.

"Yes, you pay for my treats, I'm poor." Li Liang blatantly said, I'm poor and I'm justified.

In terms of salary, Li Liang did get enough money in the past two years.

Kobe shook his head, and finally took out his credit card to pay.

"Do you want to be merciful in the game that night? Lose a game?" Kobe was still very generous, and asked after giving the money.

"No, I'm a very fair person, you can't insult me, I will kill you."
