Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Nameless

The game was played on and off for more than an hour.

Every once in a while, Calipari would call a halt and let his freshman and sophomore discuss what to do with him.

Compared with the sophistication of the junior and senior teams, although the freshmen and sophomores have stronger personal ability, they are obviously not very suitable for them who have just been promoted from high school.

Goodwin made mistakes on both passes to Noel, and began to attack with the ball on his own.

And Perisreis also does it himself when he gets the ball, passing the ball or something, it doesn't exist.

Li Liang made a couple of offensive fouls on the defensive end, but other than that, his contribution was limited.

He won't open the task module of interior defense in a short period of time, so he lacks some interior positioning, defense, and backcourt rebounding skills.

Noel took advantage of his height to grab a few frontcourt rebounds on the inside, and two dunks were considered to be angry.

But looking back, Noel was miserable on the defensive end, and Li Liang squatted outside the three-point line and didn't go out at all.

Noel is in a dilemma, go in, Li Liang is scary.

Don't go in? Noel was a scrap on the defensive end.

On the side of the freshman and sophomore groups, there is a lack of tacit understanding between the players, and everyone is one defense and one anyway.

You can't prevent it?

Then you're real trash.

Visits, fill-ins, rotations?

I'm sorry, but this is the time for the team to play against each other and show what you can do.

In an hour's game, Li Liang shot 9 of 15 from beyond the three-point line, and Noel collapsed.

Li Liang is not only accurate, the key is that he stands far away.

It's a step further than the NBA's three-point line, which is more than two meters from the NCAA three-point line, and it feels like it's completely impossible to shoot.

As a result, Li Liang came when he received the ball with his hands open, and entered with his hands open.

Li Liang's empty three-point score was originally worth a good score, but Noel hesitated and gave Li Liang a chance to brush his hands.

After the hand was thrown, he stood farther and farther away, opening up enough space for his teammates.

Later, Cauley-Stein replaced Noel, and Li Liang continued to be an elevated battery on the offensive end, and I received the ball at a fixed point anyway.

If no one guards me, I will vote, if someone comes to defend me, I will pass, and as soon as I pass the inside line, I will be out of the gap.

This three-point shot made Calipari red-eyed, and said in his heart, why didn't Bruce Lee show such strength before?

After graduating, I felt that my strength had come up all of a sudden, and I had raised him for four years with a water dispenser.

Calipari had the idea of asking Li Liang to continue his studies in Kentucky for another year.

Li Liang's ultra-long three-point play is indeed rare in the NCAA.

First, the college coaches don't like this kind of gambling style of play, and second, the shooting skills of the college players are not stable enough.

Even top NCAA shooters like Redick often choose to shoot near the three-point line.

Like Li Liang, throwing it according to the distance of the NBA three-point line, or even farther, is extremely rare.

Modern basketball courts, as the players become faster and faster, more explosive, and more physically stronger, the court space becomes more and more narrow.

The NCAA is more crowded because the three-point line is closer than the NBA, and there is no defense for three seconds when defending.

If you can have a turret that opens up space, even if it lasts ten minutes per game, it can work wonders tactically.

The more Calipari thought about it, the more distressed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, what the hell was going on with this Bruce Lee?

Are you targeting me? What are you doing as soon as you graduate?

After the match, the physical strength of the junior and senior teams could not keep up, and the freshman and sophomore teams slowly regained a little advantage.

But Calipari didn't want to watch any longer, so he ended the match and let everyone go into the dressing room to change their clothes.

Li Liang was called aside by Calipari, he put his arm around Li Liang's shoulders and said: "Bruce, good performance, defense, three-point, very in line with the current NBA trend." Can you tell me how you practiced? ”

Li Liang thought about it, he definitely couldn't tell Calipari that he had a system, he scratched his face, and said: "Actually, I paid some of the most famous trainers in the NBA to do special training for me, so I have made great progress." ”

Kalipari knew that Li Liang's father was rich, so it made sense.

But as a veteran basketball coach, Calipari knows that basketball training reaches a certain level, and if you don't have enough talent, it's useless how you practice.

It seems that Li Liang's progress is about to become an unsolved mystery.

Li Liang didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, so he didn't go back to the locker room, but asked Calipari to guide him to practice full-court defense.

Calipari nodded and said, "No matter who you follow for special training, hard training is always a guarantee for strength improvement." ”

So, under the guidance of Calipari, Li Liang began the practice of following the defense on the whole court.

Calipari found a thin rope and tied it around Li Liang's ankle, which is a common means of practicing footwork.

Then, Calipari asked Hood to come over and practice with Li Liang with the ball.

Hood had just returned from injury and wanted to practice more, and the two were just a good match.

Hood still thinks it's strange, Bruce Lee, this kid, is already great defensively, why do you still practice such basic things?

Of course, he didn't know that Li Liang's target was not You-Hood, but Walter Frazier.

After fastening the rope on his feet, it means that Li Liang's pace will be limited to a certain extent, and he must make a good prediction.

Otherwise, the prediction is insufficient, and the garlic will be mixed with a big step.

There's nothing technical about training like this, it's just repetition and repetition and repetition.

At most, the coach made some corrections to Li Liang's posture and movements on the side, making him more standard and efficient.

Hood accompanied Li Liang to practice for another hour of follow-up defense, and practiced until the sweat completely soaked the training clothes.

When Li Liang untied the rope from his ankle, because it was tied relatively tightly, it made a deep mark.

Sweat stained the imprints, and it hurt to be pickled.

Li Liang hurriedly went to the locker room to rinse with water, and his stomach was extremely hungry.

"John, please give me a meal."

No, Calipari invited Li Liang to dinner again.

Li Liang really ate a lot more, which made people wonder how this kid's stomach grew.

When he returned to Wei Dazhi's rental room in the evening, Li Liang suddenly lay down on the bed.

Wei Dazhi didn't know where this kid had gone, how did he feel that he had seen the beginning and the end of the dragon recently.

He also said that he wanted to observe his own training, but when he arrived at the school and said that he was looking for someone, he disappeared.

Li Liang, who was lying on the bed, took out his mobile phone and swiped today's sports news.

Today, the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference semifinals reached Game 7.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers.

Because of the first-round Bulls Rose was injured, the 76ers worked hard to complete the miracle of Black Eight.

After the Spurs were beaten by the Black Eight in 2011, another team was humiliated by the Black Eight this year.

Derrick Rose suffered a landing injury with 1:10 left in the first game that cost him a season.

The Bulls already had a 16-point lead, but their head coach Thibodeau still put the main players on the court.

Although the injuries are somewhat unexpected, and there are some strain-type injuries, if they don't come today, they will come tomorrow to that extent.

But Thibodeau's honey operation was still criticized by many fans.

Rose's reimbursement made the Bulls' efforts to be the No. 1 in the league all season in vain.

Now, the 76ers, the eighth dark horse, and the aging Celtics have played Game 7.

The old and stalwart Celtics didn't give the 76ers a chance to continue to work miracles, and they defeated their opponents neatly 85-75 at home to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Green Army will again be an obstacle for LeBron James.

Looking at the various stories that happened in the NBA playoffs, Li Liang thought, what will happen if he enters the NBA in the future?

Li Liang thought about it while continuing to watch the news.

Suddenly, he swiped a popular tweet, which was a repost: Chinese player Bruce Lee of the University of Kentucky impressed Kobe Bryant during the Lakers' tryout, and the Lakers may use the signing to select the small forward from China.

Li Liang saw that the source of the retweet was Wei Dazhi's Twitter account: SBF-WeiDazhi.

The prefix of Wei Dazhi's Twitter account is Super Basketball Fan, and Li Liang has always called him "SB Fan".

This tweet was posted on the 24th, and after a series of retweets, it seems to have gained a bit of popularity today.

Some well-known reporters have reposted this news one after another.

It seems that Wei Dazhi is in the group of reporters, and he has taken the first step.

Of course, Li Liang knew that this news could be forwarded, mainly because of Kobe's blessing.

If it's just that the Lakers want to choose Li Liang, in addition to the domestic media will be a little hot, reporters in the United States will not take a look at it.

Li Liang thought to himself, it doesn't matter, slowly you will take the initiative to dig up my news.
