Chapter 604: Return to Boston
After coming to the East, Li Liang will play the Boston Celtics three or four times a season.
Li Liang's mood is not shocked, Boston, my hometown...... No, how did you become home.
Because he played too many Celtics in the system, thinking of Boston Li Liang's mind would come to mind the old parquet floor of Boston Garden, the scorching hot indoor temperature, and the enthusiastic fans, it felt like reminiscing about childhood, which was the feeling of hometown.
The bullshit hometown, he doesn't even want to give an anger value, what kind of hometown is it.
On the evening of November 7, Li Liang arrived in Boston with the whole team and stayed at the hotel.
Early the next morning, Li Liang's whole team set off to the training hall for pre-game warm-up training.
Bird elephant conducted a tactical coordination exercise, but Li Liang refused.
He said he was just doing shooting drills.
So, as a privileged figure of the team, Li Liang was assigned to a half court and practiced shooting with the shooting coach.
Li Liang's shooting has always been excellent, but today's shooting coach didn't feel right.
"Bruce, your shot seems to be a bit heavy, relax, relax."
Li Liang nodded, indicating that he was adjusting.
With the steel body, it feels different, as if McGinnis possessed it.
McGinnis was known for his poor shooting, and his head coach at the time, Larry Brown, once commented that McGinnes' shooting was amateurish.
With McGinnis's power all of a sudden, Li Liang needs to get used to it.
But it's not as difficult as imagined.,The system is black technology after all.,How can black technology have too obvious bugs?
After a little practice, Li Liang felt that he could control his strength better, and began to hit three points in a row.
Moreover, Li Liang found that it became easier for him to shoot ultra-long-distance three-pointers.
You don't even need to rely on the strength of your legs and torso, you can throw the ball into it by relying only on the strength of your upper limbs.
The less power there is, the more stable the shot will be.
Li Liang quickly adapted to this prop, which is worthy of black technology!
Li Liang thinks it's a pity that this system is used to play basketball, maybe he can make himself into Iron Man?
After shooting practice, Li Liang approached Bird and asked him how things were going with Granger.
Bird told Li Liang that Riley wanted a draft pick, and it was two second-rounders, and Bird was still hesitant.
Li Liang said: "What are you hesitating about? What is there to hesitate about? Don't you listen to me? I said that if he can make a difference, he will definitely be able to make a difference! Moreover, it is a big effect! It's okay if you believe in me, if you believe in me. ”
Bird didn't know where Li Liang got this confidence.
As for Granger, Bird thinks a second-round pick and a player at the end of the bench should have been able to get his hands on it in the past.
But Riley, this old guy, will open his mouth to two second rounds.
Your second round fell from the sky?
However, Riley is used to doing this, and the price starts on the ground, which seems to be a fancy to the Pacers' intention to reshape the locker room with Granger.
Bird's idea was to let it go and make some announcements in the media, and it would be better to make a "go home" drama.
Then let the Heat do a favor, and a second-round was sent over and pulled down.
Regarding Li Liang's statement, Bird felt that this kid didn't know the price of firewood and rice.
You yourself were selected by the second round, don't you know that the second round is also very precious?
Indeed, since Li Liang grew into a superstar with the 56th pick, the value of the second-round pick has increased.
Not only that, but NBA teams pay more attention to the excavation of Asian players.
It's a pity that so far, there hasn't been a single Asian player who has won everyone's attention.
It's no wonder that there isn't a second system.
Therefore, Li Liang's words Bird did not take it to heart.
Anyway, now that the season has just begun, Bird has enough patience to wait for the Heat to make a trade with him.
……
On the evening of the 8th, at Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, the Pacers ushered in their second road game of the season.
Affectionate Boston, affectionate Garden Arena, affectionate green, affectionate Green Army fans.
As soon as Li Liang entered the field, a sense of intimacy came to his face, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
It's really uncomfortable, I have nearly 50 years of memories of the Green Army's game in my mind, and I have been personally involved in Celtic games since the 1960s, which is really - 60 years old Cammy.
Li Liang didn't want to, he hated Boston.
Boston fans don't actually want to, but they just think this kid is very kind.
There were even a lot of young fans wearing the No. 28 jerseys of the Pacers and Clippers.
And the one who wears the Lakers No. 28!
It's time for you to change your jersey, it's too picky at home.
When warming up before the game, a large number of young fans came to Li Liang for autographs.
Like Indiana, Boston is a city of sports in the truest sense of the word.
Basketball, football, baseball, ice hockey, all very popular here.
The mass base of various sports is excellent, and the team's historical record is also very brilliant, and it has a very good sports soil.
The young fans here are very enthusiastic, and basketball cultivates fans by relying on stars.
Boston has been temporarily weak since the curtain call of the Big Three, but it was inexplicably found that Li Liang has become the most popular local star?
In the voting for "the most popular basketball star" conducted by the local media in Boston, Li Liang almost rode the dust and became the first place.
It's unbelievable that he has a voting advantage over the "least popular" James.
After Li Liang switched to the Cavaliers this summer, there was a reversal of word of mouth, and Boston fans scolded one after another.
It's strange, a Los Angeles player, what is the matter with the Cavaliers about you Boston fans?
As a result, Li Liang later asked for a deal, and his reputation reversed again, rising sharply, and he said that he had done a good job.
Of course, Angie also inquired, but the Celtics really didn't have any good chips, and in the end they were taken by the Pacers.
But Boston fans won't give up on getting Li Liang's idea.
They have already begun to imagine next year, and Li Liang, who has a player option next year, will likely join the Celtics.
So as soon as Li Liang arrived at the North Shore Garden, he was cheered for.
When the game opened, the players introduced, and as soon as Li Liang appeared, the cheers made people feel that this was the return of a famous man.
Pierce's return to the North Shore Gardens is probably just that.
Li Liang smiled, but sighed in his heart, don't even think about harvesting anger here.
Li Liang Danfan has a bit of James's black physique, and his anger value has already exploded and he has become a system tycoon.
It's not true, it's still too popular.
……
The game started sharply at 7:30 p.m.
After the Celtics sent away Garnett and Pierce last season, they officially entered the post-Big Three era and started a new round of reconstruction.
The Celtics' starting lineup is Rondo, Bradley, Jeff Green, Olynyk and Brandon Buss.
It's also a small lineup.
On the Pacers' side, there was bad news before the game, and CJ Myers was also on the injury list.
In this way, the Pacers are completely devoid of shooters on the outside.
CJ Myers was already the Pacers' most reliable three-point point from the outside, and with another injury, the Celtics could almost confidently and boldly wrap up Li Liang.
Stevenson, the new head coach of the Celtics, is the most handsome and young coach in the league.
He has developed a set of defensive strategies against Li Liang to restrain this little monster who travels east.
But he didn't know that tonight's monster little bull had already thought of another way to deal with the Celts.
He's going to experiment with his new weapon, brute force.
