Chapter 695: God's Left Hand
The two semifinals in the West were also quickly resolved.
The Grizzlies, who lost Conley, had no strength to resist, even if they returned to Memphis, they were beaten by the Warriors 95-108 at home, and it was a great pity to end the playoffs.
The Grizzlies are like this, they all say that they are teams that they don't want to touch in the playoffs, and whoever touches them sheds their skin.
But the peeling skin was finally promoted, and those who didn't want to be touched were eliminated.
In another series, the Clippers also failed to escape the fate of elimination.
In San Antonio, they lost to the Spurs by 101-102, a one-point deficit.
Without Li Liang, Paul still couldn't enter the Western Finals.
The Spurs reached the Western Conference Finals again, and in the absence of favorites, GDP once again attacked the Finals.
Facing the new powerhouse Warriors, the two teams have already played sparks in the playoffs last year.
This year, the strength of the Warriors has skyrocketed, and I don't know if it is the revenge of the Warriors, or the Spurs continue to be their "Western Conference Championship Dream Crusher".
In the east, a big battle between the Pacers and the Knights is already on the verge of breaking out.
On May 19, the Cavaliers arrived in Indiana to begin preparations for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on the 20th.
On the Pacers' side, the team maintains a daily training routine.
And Li Liang has an extra daily activity every day, which is to play the Horse game with Larry Bird after training.
At the beginning of the season, Li Liang tried to play horse with Bird, but he didn't win!
Bird is too treacherous, he relies on his left hand to have comprehensive skills, and every time he plays with Li Liang, he uses his left hand to make various movements.
And Li Liang's left hand has always been his weakness, he can dribble and make baskets, but if you let him shoot like Bird, he really can't do it at the moment.
Li Liang also spent a lot of time training his left hand, but without the help of the system, he would not be able to practice at the level of Bird in a short time.
He also looked around the system and found that there was no task to exercise his left hand.
In other words, in fact, you can exercise your left hand for any task, it just depends on which one of your main attackers is.
Li Liang is not left-handed, of course there is no way.
Therefore, throughout the season, Li Liang was looking for an opportunity to fight against Bird.
In the end, it turned out that it was really difficult to win, and Bird's left-handed technique was indeed superb.
But Li Liang doesn't believe in this evil, he wants to win not only because of competitiveness, but also because of the task.
The task of defeating Bird in the achievement system has not been completed until now, and getting stuck there makes Li Liang feel very uncomfortable.
On the 19th, the team had their last collective training session before the game.
Bird didn't get a lot of exercise, just a simple tactical run and shooting drill.
At half past two in the afternoon, the training was over, and everyone was free to move.
Veterans generally choose to rest and recuperate at the physiotherapy center.
Young players will go to the gym to practice Li Liang, and some water cooler players will practice harder.
They won't be able to play in the tournament anyway, and for them, next season's contract and survival are more important issues.
Of course, Li Liang stayed to practice three points and at the same time competed with Bird for Horse.
Li Liang's three-point practice is absolutely unique, most people start throwing from each point, like the three-point competition, each of the five points is a fixed number, and the practice is completed.
Li Liang is different, he needs a whole field to practice, and then starts throwing from the middle circle first.
That's right, Li Liang throws first in the middle circle, and the trainers on the sidelines will randomly throw the ball on the field.
Li Liang went to catch the ball, and where he received it, he shot it.
Each additional practice is completed after throwing a certain number of balls, and if you can't reach it, you won't rest.
This kind of training method is often done by Li Liang in the system's personal training center.
Anyway, shooting in the personal training center does not consume physical strength, it only solidifies his muscle memory.
Therefore, Li Liang later practiced like this for the first time in real training, which frightened the trainer.
Asked if he wanted to go home for dinner.
However, Li Liang quickly used his actual hit rate to tell the trainer that if he wanted to eat, he could do it at any time.
Now everyone is no stranger to Li Liang's shocking three-point training method.
This product is sometimes thrown from the back court to the front court, and it can really go in, and the shooting feel is really good and terrible.
Today, Li Liang completed his three-point training task again.
Seeing that Bird hadn't left yet, he pulled Bird and said he wanted to play Horse.
Bird looked impatient, "Isn't it good to stay in a good mood and go home for dinner?" ”
Li Liang said: "If I can't win you, I won't be in a good mood." ”
Bird shook his head, "Your shooting is great, you're catching up with me, but your left hand still needs to build up for a long time." ”
Li Liang said: "Aren't I accumulating? It's been a season. ”
Bird didn't have a problem, he knew that if he didn't try to compete with Li Liang, Li Liang would not give up.
To be honest, it is not easy for Bird to win Li Liang every time, after all, he hasn't played for more than ten or twenty years, and no matter how good his shooting is, it will degenerate.
Therefore, Bird always comes up with all kinds of strange tricks to deal with Li Liang, and he can think of any ghost animal action like a left-handed loop hook after a 360-degree circle on the spot, which is enough to show that Bird's competitiveness is also leveraged, and he is not willing to lose to Li Liang.
After Li Liang left the Pacers, Bird was able to brag again, "He never beat me in the Horse game." ”
Of course, it doesn't matter if he loses this time, Bird can still say, "He only beat me once in the Horse game." ”
Anyway, he can pretend to be forced.
Thinking about it this way, Bird agreed.
After all, tomorrow is the Eastern Conference Finals, and we must ensure that the core of the team is in a good mood.
Then, Bird took off his coat, put on a sports T-shirt, and began to do a simple warm-up on the field.
The people who hadn't left before saw Bird start to warm up, and they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around to watch the show.
Another Horse battle between Li Liang and Bird.
The two of them shoot three points each from the outside, and the one who doesn't score starts first.
Bird was too lazy to vote, he knew that he couldn't vote for Li Liang, so he just threw it casually, deliberately didn't enter, and started with him first.
Although his shooting ability has definitely declined compared to his peak, to say that there are many tricks, Bird is really a treasure trove of posture.
On the first ball, near the three-second zone of the baseline, the left hand with his back to the basket is thrown behind the head.
in.
“Fuck!”
Li Liang scolded secretly, this old coward, the first ball came to such a difficult and disgusting action, the key is that he also scored!
It can only be said that in a non-confrontational state, the reactions imprinted in the muscles of professional players, especially top professional players, cannot be erased for a lifetime.
It was Li Liang's turn to imitate, to Bird's surprise, Li Liang actually scored this goal?
This surprised Bird, can this all go in?
Nonsense, if you can get in, others can't?
Subsequently, Li Liang started his round.
Li Liang's method of dealing with Bird is very simple, which is to go beyond three points.
He had just finished three-point training and was feeling hot, so he hit a long-range three-point shot.
Bird can't help it, it's a bit difficult for him - three meters from the three-point line.
Not to mention him now, Bird at his peak is coming, and it is difficult to throw.
After a few rounds, Bird was surprised to find that Li Liang imitated every move perfectly, and he scored.
Finally, Li Liang took the lead in getting the five letters of Horse for the first time, and won Bird for the first time in the game!
With an MMP smile on his face, Bird came over and patted Li Liang, "Yes, you finally won me once." ”
Li Liang thought to himself, damn look at your expression, I feel like you're even more awesome?

Subtitles appeared in front of Li Liang's eyes, and he finally completed the task and got the prize!
Seeing the prize, Li Liang's heart finally felt a little better.
Because just now in the game, he used the [Ball Blind Examiner] more than once to steal Bird's shooting stance!
