After losing to the Lone Ranger, the public opinion circle began to hype a new topic for a while, that is, "Black Eight".

After all, the Mavericks were once one of the biggest victims of the Black Eight, and in 2007, they fell to the Warriors with the best regular season record of the 21st century.

And the irony is that at that time, the Warriors made it clear that they wanted to pick the Mavericks as their opponents, just like the Grizzlies picked the Spurs in 2011, that is, to pick a "weak" one.

It's a shame.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, secured their eighth spot in the West after playing the game against the Clippers, and at the same time tied with the Grizzlies in seventh place in terms of wins.

Because of the relationship between victory and defeat, it is ranked behind the Grizzlies.

But after this defeat of the Clippers, local public opinion and fans in Dallas believe that the Mavericks should take the initiative in the later games, strive to let themselves fall to the eighth position, and play the Clippers in the first round.

The Clippers' weakness at the power forward position could be a breakthrough point for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have a certain degree of restraint against the Clippers in terms of overall style play.

The most important thing is that people think that in this game, the Lone Ranger has found a way to restrain Li Liang.

Quite simply, it's a bag clip, a desperate bag clip!

Li Liang is still not mature enough to hold the ball, and the Clippers' outside three-point line is not stable enough.

Paul was 1-of-7, Barnes was 0-of-3, and only Collison was the best of 2-of-6.

With such a three-point shooting rate, as long as you desperately pinch Li Liang's point, you can win.

Why couldn't the team do it before?

In fact, there is a team that has done it, and that is the Spurs.

The Spurs relied on their near-perfect rotation and used high-intensity packs to deal with Li Liang, which did contain the Clippers to a great extent.

The Mavericks have Marion on the outside, and the Mavericks' outside rotation defense is also excellent, plus Paul's play......

If other teams frantically hit Li Liang like this, it would be four to three, and the result is needless to say, it bloomed in all directions, and was bombarded by the Clippers for 120 points.

If you don't have a good rotation and solid cooperative combat ability, it's better not to play this set.

But the Mavericks did it, and the team was full of confidence.

Although Carlisle didn't say it bluntly after the game, he mentioned that "the Mavericks are not afraid of any opponent. ”

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, not afraid of any opponent, and certainly not afraid of you Clippers.

Not only am I not afraid, but I also want to compete with you in the playoffs.

The Clippers, on their side, are starting to come under pressure.

There is no way, the tree is making a big move, and now the whole league except for Clippers fans is pointing to the Clippers losing.

Especially fans of the Lakers in the same city.

As the saying goes, how deep is love, how deep is hate.

The better Li Liang played with the Clippers, the more uncomfortable some Lakers fans became.

The Clippers are playing well, but more importantly, the Lakers are too miserable!

The 55 points at home were bloodied, the playoffs were hopeless, and they began to rot.

The Lakers, who have five stars and are the defending champions, just started to mess up.

It is false to say that there is no shame, and at the same time, of course, some fans want to blame Li Liang.

If you don't leave, can the Lakers do this?

But most fans still think that Li Liangren is righteous, not to mention that people didn't say it, and he will come back in the future.

When will you be back?

I don't know, anyway, the Lakers fans are Wang Baochuan who has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, waiting for Gan Liliang to fulfill his promise.

In the chaos of public opinion, Li Liang still sticks to his original intention, which is to become the strongest player in the NBA.

So for why the Mavericks want to pick the Clippers as their opponents, the number of consecutive three-point shots is interrupted, Li Liang and Paul are not compatible, and the Clippers' playoff ability is questioned...... and all other messy news and rumors, Li Liang ignored them.

Wei Dazhi came to Li Liang's house to interview, but Li Liang didn't say anything, only said, "I'm going to decide the MVP of this season." “

Fortunately, the MVP battle between Li Liang and James has become the focus again.

At present, James is still leading in statistics, and the Heat is unlikely to surpass the Clippers in terms of record.

The Clippers are currently 66-11, and if the wins continue to increase and Li Liang plays well, then this year's regular season MVP will likely fall to Li Liang.

With five games to go, the final impression score is very important.

After the game against the Mavericks, the Clippers had two days off to prepare for their next game.

On April 4, the whole Clippers team practiced together, but Li Liang did not come.

This is the second time in the past month that Li Liang has missed training.

Rivers said he was a little worried, why didn't Li Liang come again?

Could it be that a defeat has affected his mentality?

Brown was confident and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure Bruce will adjust himself, he will." ”

Although Brown didn't know why Li Liang didn't come to train, he knew that as long as Li Liang didn't come, his strength would definitely improve!

So, it's a good thing that he doesn't come.

Brown also talked to Li Liang after the last game.

Brown told Lean, "You need to improve your ability to handle the ball against the bag. ”

Brown is talking nonsense, who doesn't need to improve their ball handling ability against the bag?

But Brown just wants to say, anyway, when the time comes, Li Liang will practice this ability, won't he have merit?

Then on the 4th, Li Liang did not go to training, and indeed began to improve his ability in the system.

In two days, he won't do those tasks that are too difficult, it's too late, and it consumes too much time and energy.

He chose to continue to improve his three-point ability, and this time the ability dimension he chose was still [strong three-point shooting].

After Li Liang completed Maravich's task last time, his [strong three-point shooting] ability reached 40 points, and Li Liang decided to increase it to 50 points in the next two days.

After reaching 50 points, adding his own feel runes, and then using the shooting rate improvement sticker, Li Liang believes that his outside three-point shooting restrictions will be much less.

Li Liang thought that in the face of a bag like the Mavericks, improving the passing and breakthrough ability is the best solution.

But the passing is like this at the moment, and you can't shoot it if your teammates can't shoot it.

As for breakthrough ability, there are too many things to improve at the moment.

Dribbling direction, dribbling acceleration, as well as physical speed, explosiveness, and offensive layups, etc.

These Li Liang are ready to wait until the summer to slowly improve.

At present, the fastest effect is his stunt three-point shot.

As long as the ability to shoot three points is mentioned a little more, when facing the bag, Li Liang will have a greater confidence to shoot three points directly.

He used to be mainly open three-point ability, so he had a high demand for space.

Once there is a bag clip, it is difficult to get out of the space, and the hit rate will plummet.

Li Liang knows that in the ability value, 60 points is a hurdle, and when it reaches 60 points, it means that the strength has made great progress.

Further up, 90 is another world.

Li Liang decided to raise the [strong three-point shooting] to 60 points first, so that those who want to wrap him up understand what a face-to-face three-point shot is.

Li Liang enters the mission:

[Mission, Stop the Black Eight Miracle, Mission Time: May 7, 1994, Location: Key Arena, Seattle, USA, Matchup: Denver Nuggets VS Seattle SuperSonics, Mission Requirements: Replace the supersonic player Schramf to play, help the SuperSonics defeat the Nuggets, and prevent the Black Eight Miracle from happening, Mission reward: Strong three-point shooting ability +20 points, a special item, Mission difficulty: star. 】

Hehe, the Lone Ranger is still thinking about the Black Eight, and Li Liang is going to stop the first Black Eight Miracle in history in the system.
