Chapter 674 Protecting Your Elbow

Li Liang's words quickly dropped a big bomb in the Boston sports world.

The degree of development of sports media in Boston ranks first in the United States.

If Indianapolis is the city of sports, Boston is the city of professional sports in the city of sports.

The four major leagues have teams here, and each of them is a strong team with historical background in the league.

Needless to say, the Celtics in basketball, there is the Boston Bruins in ice hockey, one of the six founding teams in the NHL in 1924, and has won the Stanley Cup six times in history. Baseball has the Boston Red Sox, which is also one of the eight start-up teams in the major leagues. It has a long and bumpy history and is full of legends. After 2003, it won three world championships. There is also the rugby New England Patriots. Although the name is New England, their home court is still in Boston. They are one of the founding teams of the National League.

It can be said that Boston has a pivotal position in the entire American professional sports world.

As important as Boston and New England are to the history of American politics, they are equally important to the history of sports.

For such a sports team, the sports media is of course very, very developed.

A large number of newspapers, websites, columnists, and well-known reporters, this is a huge public opinion field.

As for Li Liang, he never played his cards according to the routine, and he was never afraid of throwing firecrackers into the latrine.

Anyway, run after throwing it away, as long as I run fast enough, the shit won't blow up on me.

Li Liang's remarks after the first game of the playoffs were just an introduction, which immediately triggered a big discussion in the media.

When Angie traded away the heroes of the Big Three era, there were criticisms from all sides.

Of course, some people think that Angie's approach is correct. This is the law of the NBA in the new era.

In the replacement, Angie has hoarded a lot of draft picks.

There are also some people who believe that the Celtics have Celtic traditions, and Angie has destroyed too many traditions.

If Ray Allen's departure was due to personal grievances, it is justifiable to trade Garnett away, then let Pierce go?

Although this is Pierce's personal decision, the Celtics seem to have no intention of keeping Pierce.

The once "family tradition" of the Celtics has fallen apart under Ainge.

Sometimes the glorious past does weigh heavily.

Therefore, what Li Liang said makes sense.

But Li Liang finally said, "I have a hunch that the Celtics will not go well," what the hell is this?

What exactly are you trying to express? Are you saying Angie is right or wrong?

Regarding this point, the basketball talk shows of several major TV stations such as ESPN have launched discussions.

Newspaper columns, journalists' blogs, and magazines even write articles and discuss them.

Some refuted, some agreed, and some took advantage of Li Liang's remarks and extended them to the Celtics' history and team building strategy.

Generally speaking, each has its own reasons, and Li Liang, who sparked this debate, is of course at the forefront.

Some criticize him verbally, some attack and ridicule him personally (no racist ridicule, because I dare not, Li Liang is too rigid), and some express support for Li Liang's remarks.

That's right, there is really support. This supporter is none other than the diehard Boston Celtics, the famous keyboard man, Bill Simmons.

This guy has always been known for his sharp words, and he has a good grasp of historical allusions. He wrote "Now I Can Rest in Peace" to celebrate the Boston Red Sox breaking the curse of history, and wrote "The Book of Basketball". A bestseller, his columns have been favorites of many fans.

As a hard-core Kemi who can definitely go around the Celtics within three sentences, it is incredible that he would support Li Liang's remarks.

As the current enemy of the Celtics, Li Liang was once a member of the Lakers. I feel that Simmons would be sorry for his poisonous tongue if he didn't spit on Li Liang.

However, Simmons did not. On the contrary, he got a key message from Li Liang's seemingly inconsistent remarks, which is:

He believes that Li Liang wants to come to the Celtics next season.

He quickly published this point of view in his column, and the writing was well-founded, logical, and quoted from classics.

Boston fans watched it and must have felt that if Li Liang hadn't got a contract, he would have gone directly to the Celtics in this playoffs.

When Li Liang saw this column written by Simmons, he almost vomited blood.

TM's Celtics really picked up a ghost, really NM is a talent.

I tried to mock the Celtics in a different way, and it ended up being "Bruce Lee needs to be a Celtic."

I need you shit, I've been a Celtic in the system for a long time, and I've won you a few more championships.

I didn't see you guys retiring me a jersey or something.

Russell chatters with me in the system every day, and the old locker room in Boston Garden, it's too bad to use it as a toilet.

I also call Nima a Celtic, what a joke.

Of course, Li Liang didn't pay attention to these debates in Boston at the beginning, and he still focused on the competition and training.

After winning the Celtics in the first game, Bird did not let the players go after the game, but continued to conduct rigorous and demanding training for all players in training.

Defense requires players to contribute high-intensity willpower, and Bird does not want players to relax in any way.

Fortunately, Li Liang took a good lead. After entering the playoffs, he never arrived late or left early for training, and practiced very focused and serious.

On April 22, the second game between the Pacers and the Celtics continued at the Conseco Arena.

Under the technical table, the number 1 has been painted out by Li Liang with a spray gun, and they have taken a small step.

In the second game, the Pacers were still a little slow to enter the state in the first quarter, and they were beaten by the Celtics 7:0 in the opening game.

However, the players quickly adjusted, and Li Liang assisted JR-Smith and Granger to make outside jumpers.

These two guns have become Li Liang's best offensive assistants.

Li Liang put on the "Man of Steel" suit tonight. He wanted to attack the Celtics inside and disrupt Stevens' deployment.

Sure enough, Stevens still dealt with Li Liang according to the defensive strategy of the outside line. As a result, the Celtics, which were somewhat weak, were frequently attacked by Li Liang inside.

Finally, at the end of the second quarter of the game, Olynyk got entangled with Li Liang in a scramble for the ball.

After the end, Olynik clamped Li Liang's arm and twisted it out. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not.

Li Liang's arm hurts, but luckily he brought [unsightly elbow pads], which he took from under Kobe's seat on the plane with the Lakers.

I have always felt that it has not played a big role, but this time it has made a contribution.

It protected Li Liang's elbow very well, keeping him from getting hurt.

After Li Liang shook off Olynyk, he pulled out his arm and pushed him.

Li Liang, who was wearing [Man of Steel], was pushing 30% more than usual.

Of course, even with his usual strength, Olynyk would fall to the ground.

The referee immediately blew his whistle and pulled Li Liang away to keep him from getting excited.

Li Liang was not excited, he just pointed at Olynyk on the ground and cursed.

Of course there was booing at the scene, how dare you use such dirty tricks in the Conseco Arena? Do you still want to go back?

Li Liang suffered a technical foul at the end. After returning to the bench, the team doctor checked and found that Li Liang moved his joints and there was nothing serious.

If you get injured in the first round, you will lose big.

As far as the clamping method he just said, once the shoulder or elbow is dislocated or dislocated, it is very likely that he will be reimbursed for the playoffs.

Then Li Liang's hard work for a season will be in vain.

How could Li Liang bear this tone.

After the timeout ended and he reappeared, he didn't care about a technical foul on his back. Whenever he got a chance, he took the ball and beat Olynik, and kept scoring on him.

In the third quarter, Li Liang even seized the opportunity to dunk one on Olynyk's head!

After the dunk, he gave the guy a hard look and warned: "Play cleanly, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen later."

Olynyk was still stunned, and finally finished the game safely without making small moves.

The Pacers also suppressed the Celtics at 101:89, won the second victory, and took a 2:0 lead in the series.

This time, Li Liang was full of anticipation for the next game.

After the first game, there was a lot of nonsense and hurt the feelings of the people of Boston.

In the second game, he had a personal grievance with the Celtics players.

It is so perfect to have Liangzi for both public and private purposes.

Li Liang can't wait to go to TD North Shore Garden to show his skills.
