As the season progresses, Donovan will have a deeper understanding of who the coach is and what an NBA head coach is.

The training camps of all teams are in full swing, and the western teams are all strong, and the western region will inevitably compete for hegemony in the new season.

Needless to say, Thunder exchanged for an Ibaka for a Li Liang, and his strength rose rapidly, and the odds of winning the championship quickly rose to the first place.

Judging from the results of the training camp, Donovan believes that Li Liang and the current Thunder are a perfect fit.

The issue of the allocation of the Durant arena that I was worried about before, it seems that there is no need to worry about it at all.

As the preseason approached, training and exposure every day, Nodovan felt more and more that what Mike Brown said was probably right.

He doesn't need to deliberately design any systems and routines to adapt to Li Liang, Li Liang can adapt to everything.

"It's okay, if you think there's anything Bruce needs to improve and improve, you tell me and I'll let him practice."

Brown even boasted of such a Haikou in front of Donovan, saying that Donovan was stunned, is it so magical?

If Li Liang knew that Brown was bragging about him behind his back like this, I was afraid that he would not blow up his bald head.

Is it easy for Lao Tzu to do tasks in the system day by day?

TM is being bragged about by you?

As the level gets higher and higher, the tasks become more difficult and the time in the system gradually lengthens.

Don't look at Li Liang's late training every day, in fact, he trains twice as much as others, maybe more than that.

And Kevin Durant is still actively practicing every day with the arrival of Li Liang, and he still thinks in his heart, Bruce Lee, if you are slack in training, your performance in the game will not be as good as mine, so won't the comments of fans and the media be reversed again?

With such caution in his heart, Durant practiced very diligently, completely unaware that Li Liang practiced more diligently than him.

Soon, the Thunder's preseason season began.

On Thursday, Oct. 8, the Thunder traveled to Minnesota to face their first preseason opponent, the Timberwolves.

Timberwolves, Li Liang has no idea that the NBA and the entire team have no idea.

Anyway, every time I think about the team, I don't think about it.

Of course, the local fan atmosphere in Minnesota is very, very good.

As it is located in the bitter cold of the north, the entire city is connected by closed bridges between buildings in order to protect against the cold.

You can run around the city and still be able to enjoy the heating at all times.

Because of this, basketball is a very popular indoor sport.

There are Lakers in front and Timberwolves in the back, but unfortunately the Timberwolves are too far behind the Lakers in all aspects.

The fans were still enthusiastic, even if it was just a pre-season game.

Li Liang's influence has long been throughout the United States, and after arriving at the target center, a large number of fans gathered on the sidelines to wait for Li Liang to sign autographs.

Although the NBA official has discussed whether to curb Li Liang's transfer method of changing places with one shot, Xiao Hua has to admit that Li Liang has a great role in promoting the promotion of the NBA among young people.

Don't look at the NBA is very popular among Chinese, after all, it is only one of the four major leagues in the United States, and its history is shorter than the other three.

Both the NFL and the NHL are approaching 100 years, and MLB was already a 100-year league in 2013, and if you go back a little further, you can start counting from 1871.

In comparison, the NBA is a younger brother, only about half the time of other leagues.

In terms of promotion, basketball is either considered a black sport or a sissy sport in the continental United States.

That's why Stern is desperately promoting internationalization and gentrification, because the local competition is not as good as other established sports, and it is a different way.

Now the NBA has entered a bottleneck again, and Li Liang miraculously appeared, making headlines twice in three days, and then going on a news broadcast again every summer, which is really unpopular.

Young fans all regard Li Liang as an idol, and they don't care what color Li Liang has, what nationality he is, or what team his city is.

Kids, there's not so much prejudice, it's just hero worship, it's that simple.

Li Liang signed and signed softly, which made Durant jealous, and he shot on the court silently, and few children looked for him.

Durant's face was already long, but this time it was even longer.

The Thunder's new No. 28 jersey quickly jumped to the top spot in terms of sales.

Under Armour also took advantage of the trend to launch sneakers in the Thunder Blue color scheme, which have already sold well in the market.

The color scheme of Thunder Sky Blue is still much more fashionable and beautiful than the corn yellow of the Walker, and it is more sought after by young people.

The blue sneakers feel very elegant and eye-catching when worn on the feet, and they can be summed up in two words, "handsome".

Are these yellow sneakers...... If you look at it from a distance, your eyes are not very good, and you think you are stepping on two pieces of......

When the game started, the Thunder started with a lineup of Steven Adams, Li Liang, Durant, Westbrook and Andriy Robertson.

The scary thing about this lineup is that there is not a single low point on the field.

Each point has long hands and feet, and Li Liang is already a little shorter on the big forward, and at the same time the one with an average arm span.

After all, he is Asian, although Li Liang is already a top arm span among Asians, but he still can't compare with a gibbon like Durant.

With such a lineup, the defensive end is really terrible.

And on the bench, the Thunder also have very strong players such as Kanter, DJ Augustin, and Dion Vitesse.

It is natural for the Thunder to be favored by the outside world, of course, the specific situation will not be clear until the regular season starts.

The Timberwolves on the opposite side began a comprehensive rebuild around Towns after sending off Love.

The Timberwolves also have a former teammate of Li Liang, that is, Kevin Garnett, who retired from the Pacers after winning the championship in the summer, and signed with the Timberwolves with a veteran base salary, and is ready to end his career here.

Before the start of the game, the two also shook hands and hugged each other.

According to Li Liang's current rhythm and frequency of team changes, in a few years, more than half of the whole league will be his former teammates.

From now on, the NBA will have one more resounding title, "Li Liang's former teammate".

In addition to Towns and Garnett, the Timberwolves also have players such as Zach LaVine, Rubio, and Kevin Martin, which have strength, but on the whole, there is a big gap with the Thunder.

Of course, the preseason is just a warm-up, and Li Liang is not ready to show his new weapons in the preseason.

The only thing that the media and fans were amazed by was Li Liang's muscles, the whole person was strong, and the center was really hammered.

After the start of the game, Li Liang played very restrained, the offense basically did not go inside, and the defense was also commanding and directing the traffic.

scolded his teammates very energetically, he just didn't move, and gradually became scientific.

You're only 26 years old!

On the contrary, Durant's play is called a drive, as long as he is present, he will almost give 80% of his strength.

You go back and forth on both sides, Durant shoots when he has the opportunity, and it doesn't take long to lead the Thunder to a double-digit lead.

In the middle of the first quarter, Donovan replaced the main players and let the benches take turns.

Both sides are just for military training.

By the end of the first half, Li Liang played a total of 10 minutes, scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, and basically did not exert any strength.

Durant did a surprise and scored 17 points, looking like he was going to overpower Li Liang.

Li Liang thinks this little handsome is quite funny, what are you competing with me?

I brought you to win the championship, do you have any experience in winning the championship?

The Thunder were also very easy on the road, 122-93, with a nearly 30-point advantage over the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' overall combat effectiveness is really not good, their offense is really poor, and there is no strong point on the outside.

Downs' first show in the NBA was so-so and okay.

However, the young man's body is still a little thin.

In the middle of the third quarter, Li Liang was misplaced to prevent Downs, and the low post was hard topped, and Downs was stunned for a long time......

Downs is also Li Liang's junior brother in Kentucky, and in March this year, he led Kentucky to the final four, and his performance was very eye-catching.

But when I got to the NBA, I didn't see enough, and I couldn't beat Li Liang.

"Young man, use some force!" Li Liang reminded Downs during the game and let him work hard.

How can you just force this thing? If you don't move, you can't move!

After the game, Li Liang also patted Downs on the shoulder, "Come on, the future... It could be yours. ”
