(An easter egg chapter video was posted, just before this chapter, and you can vote for the next topic.) ）

Li conscience said with a sigh of relief, it turns out that as long as you enter this barbecue restaurant, you can trigger the next plot.

Why didn't you say it earlier, he had been grinding for a long time in the mission, and he was about to understand the road conditions in San Francisco.

Back to reality, if he didn't play, he would have no problem going to San Francisco to be a taxi driver like Asan, India.

Then, Li Liang's attention fell on the giant tower, and Li Liang quickly recognized who this person was.

"Isn't this Nate Thurmond?"

It's not because Li Liang has rich knowledge of basketball history, but because Li Liang met this person in the mission.

In the summer, when Li Liang was improving his interior defense and blocking ability, one of the tasks was to replace Nate Thurmond in the game, facing Abdul-Jabbar, and let him block Abdul-Jabbar in the game.

This can make Li Liang difficult to die, let Lao Tzu go to Gaijabal three hats?

With Abdul-Jabbar's height and arm span, and he still plays with the hook hand that lifts the fire every day, where to go to the cap?

I'm not Chamberlain.

After beating Li Liang twice, he gave up, it was too difficult.

But through this mission, Li Liang also got to know the former basketball monster, a black center with great energy on the defensive end.

He used to play for the Golden State Warriors and opened a barbecue restaurant in San Francisco after retiring.

I didn't expect it to be this one.

In 1981, Thurmond was 40 years old and a little bald.

But the figure is maintained very well, and the arms under the short-sleeved shirt are knotted and quite strong.

Li Liang looked at him, he looked at Li Liang.

"Hey, your meat is going to burn, flip it." Thurmond looked at the only customer in the store and reminded him loudly.

Li Liang hurriedly lowered his head and saw that the meat on the grill was already smoking, so he hurriedly turned it over.

Then Thurmond walked over and sat down in front of Li Liang, and the two began to chat.

Li Liang was happy to make small talk with him, and he knew that the next task would definitely have something to do with him.

After a casual conversation, the topic quickly shifted to basketball.

Obviously, there is a basketball next to Li Liang's seat.

Thurmond himself is a retired NBA superstar, so you don't talk about basketball.

"Finished eating? Do you want to play ball in the afternoon? Thurmond asked with concern.

"Hit, but... It's hard to find a venue, but do you know where to play? Li Liang asked deliberately, isn't this giving you a chance to hook up with me.

Thurmond smiled and said, "Haha, there are actually many places to play in San Francisco, such as in my backyard. There was an open space with baskets in it. ”

When Li Liang heard this, he was waiting for your words.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Liang agreed, the subtitles appeared in front of him:

[Mission: Big Nate Sparring Assignment Content: Learn inside skills with him on the basketball court at Thurmond's barbecue, Task Reward: Aggression +5, Task Difficulty: Rookie.] 】

Li Liang looked at the content of this task and felt a little bad, not that he felt difficult, but that this task was the same as the previous dribbling task, only talking about the content and not the requirements, so how to complete the task?

According to the routines of some martial arts, when you meet a master outside to practice martial arts, you generally need to complete the task given by the master outside the world, or defeat the master outside the world, then you can become a teacher.

Let Li Liang defeat Thurmond?

If it were him in reality, Li Liang would say, "I'm going to fight ten!" ”

But not in this mission, his current small physique has not been crushed by the 40-year-old Thurmond.

is a serious NBA star, and Li Liang's skills and physical fitness in the mission are still far behind.

No matter, let's practice first.

For Li Liang, the greatest significance of this task now is to arouse his vigorous enthusiasm for basketball.

"Okay, then I'll go to your small courtyard to practice, please guide me to play with my back and defend inside!"

……

It's February, and the NBA is entering the sprint stage of the schedule before the All-Star break.

In the first two games of February, the Thunder won against the Magic and the Wizards, respectively.

But both of these games were quite thrilling in both games, with both sides fighting until the final moments.

Donovan found that teams have gradually found a strategy to deal with Li Liang's six-man rotation.

They start their rotation early, usually in the middle of the first and third quarters.

The method of early rotation, multiple rotation, and dispersion of the main players' playing time has weakened the power of Li Liang to lead the second team.

At the same time, speed up the pace of the game, and would rather play against the Thunder and fight for the feeling than fall into positional battles and Thunder depletion defense.

Against the Magic, Oladipo played an amazing performance of 37 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds in a single game.

It wasn't until the end that Westbrook hit a key shot 2+1 and the Thunder locked up the win.

Now that all teams are fine, Li Liang must be locked, and all three of them can be locked.

Durant also has to watch, and then the best thing is to let Westbrook go.

Let him attack with the ball, maybe he will blow himself up.

Of course, the Magic underestimated Westbrook a bit.

In the absence of a targeted defense, his impact ability is superstar-level.

Overall, though, the Thunder seem to have hit some bottlenecks in the regular season, and it's getting harder and harder to win games.

On February 6, the Thunder flew to Oakland to challenge the Warriors away.

The Thunder were targeted by the Warriors in this game, from the spectators to the referees, from the players to the coaches.

Of course, the most targeted is Li Liang.

After he came on the court at the end of the first quarter, he was whistled for a defensive foul as soon as he came up.

Li Liang felt bad at that time, and discussed with the referee on duty and asked him, "Are you trying to mess with me?" Don't want us to win again? ”

Of course, the referee denied it, saying that you are a foul, control the scale.

But what the referee said was better than the blowing, and they started their performance again.

It's not just for Li Liang, but for the entire Thunder, especially the inside line of the Thunder.

The last game has proved that when the Thunder face the Warriors, don't look at the inside lineman, it is actually a disadvantage.

If the Thunder can play to the advantage of interior height, apply it to the offense, and plug the holes in the defense, then the Thunder will have a greater grasp of the Warriors.

As a result, the referee blew it all over, and the Thunder inside line was about to lose its advantage.

Adams committed four fouls in the first half, Kanter three fouls and Li Liang had two fouls.

The Thunder trailed the Warriors by five points at halftime.

In the second half, the referee turned the whistle and began to blow the Warriors' foul.

As soon as the third quarter came up, Curry grabbed his hand when he helped defend Durant, and the referee blew the whistle and fouled.

Curry vomited with braces, his face was full of helplessness, why couldn't he control my hands?

Because of his slightly inferior physical fitness, Curry will inevitably have some small moves in defense.

On weekdays, the referee will turn a blind eye, but when the referee needs to master the balance, his small movements will become pigtails.

I don't know if it's because it's a focus battle, but in short, the referee's performance in this game is eye-catching.

In the first half, it was in favor of the home team, and in the second half, it was in favor of the away team.

The players on both sides and the fans on both sides were not very satisfied, and the excitement of this game was far less intense than the Christmas game.

But the Warriors played better tonight, with Kerr responding as a [fo] and also using a 10-man rotation.

Iguodala, Batum, Barnes, and Green are constantly encircling Li Liang and Durant.

In the final moments, the ball was still given to Westbrook, and the outside forced three-point shot missed, and the team lost the opportunity to close the score.

The Warriors defeated the visiting Thunder by 5 points at home 115-110, giving the Thunder their fifth loss.

The Warriors, on the other hand, are back in the league with a 45-4 record.

After the game, Li Liang was indignant and thought, we will see the real chapter in the playoffs.

Now in the regular season, Li Liang basically no longer uses any props, and there is really no need to waste playing in the Thunder.

Seventy percent constant velocity is fine.

But now Li Liang is more worried about the tasks in the system.

It's just like playing a game right now, and it's a bit of a hook.

As soon as the game was over, he was thinking, "Lao Tzu is playing on that broken basket in the barbecue restaurant, how long will it take to play?" ”
