The Thunder flew to Cleveland, and after a refresh, they faced the Cavaliers the next night at the Quick-Loan Center.

The Thunder team took the lead in going to the arena at 3 o'clock in the afternoon for warm-up training and getting used to the venue.

Tonight's game is undoubtedly a highlight, as the Thunder, who have lost only one game so far this season, take on the James-led Cavaliers.

The feud between James, Li Liang and Durant has once again become a hot topic of media hype.

Therefore, when arriving at the quick loan center for warm-up, many reporters waited in the players' tunnel, at the entrance of the locker room and in the substitute rest area, hoping to interview Li Liang's words.

Li Liang knows what these reporters want, don't they just want to hear Lao Tzu say something controversial, then I will satisfy you and tell you to listen to it.

"What's it like to be back in Cleveland? Feeling, feeling that this place is very big and prosperous, it reminds me of a famous city in northern China, it is called Tieling, if you don't know, you can go back and check the map of China. ”

"The difference between Durant and James? Oh... Can I tell us what they have in common? The similarity is that they have both been beaten by me in the divisional finals! I don't think there's much difference, you can't beat me anyway. ”

"I think Donovan is a very good coach, he can rotate the line-up normally, call a timeout, let me play, let me off, I think that's good. Oh, I have a different opinion about the coaching position now, I think coaches are all amazing, quite amazing, I'm not a black coach anymore. ”

After Li Liang warmed up, he was interviewed by various reporters on the sidelines, and his big mouth opened and he said what he thought of.

The reporters who took a small notebook to record it were called diligent, and it is estimated that they were not so serious about listening to lectures and taking notes in school before.

These words are taken out and pieced together, and they are some hot news, and Li Liang will be able to put together a book of quotations immediately.

Li Liang said that these are not because he is arrogant, he wants to be arrogant on the field, and what is the beep off the field.

He's a bit bored.

Before he made his choice in the summer, he didn't expect that the road to the Thunder would be so difficult! It's simply the hardest road.

After he was willing to be a substitute, the strength of the team was too strong, and the strength was a bit off the charts.

Now the Thunder feel in the game, even if Durant and Westbrook play casually with the main force, leading by seven or eight points, and then Li Liang came off the bench to harvest.

If it is said that letting Li Liang and Westbrook start and Durant to bench, the effect may not be so good, because Durant is not good in tandem.

If Li Liang and Durant are allowed to start, and Westbrook is substituted, the effect may not be very good, because they may lose.

And Li Liang is too suitable for the bench, and after playing more than 20 games, the Thunder has played better than the starter on the bench.

Their stats, offensive and defensive efficiency, and alignment are better than those of the starters.

Although a large part of the reason is due to the fact that the opponents in the second team are also weaker, it has become an indisputable fact that the substitutes pull points every time.

Kante, Li Liang, Vitesse, Augustin, plus a golden bomber, this lineup is put in the East, Li Liang has more playoffs, and it is not impossible to bring it to the finals.

And these players are all obvious shortcomings, and a little bit is obvious, Li Liang, an all-round monster, can just make up for their shortcomings, and at the same time make their advantages play better.

For example, Kante's advantages are strong offense, sufficient size, delicate and excellent hand under the basket, and a certain footwork; The downside is obvious, it's that the defense is too poor.

It doesn't matter, Li Liang's [Russell's Three-Second Zone Fear] has been upgraded to level 2, which is enough to deal with a large part of the under-the-basket offense.

At the same time, Li Liang's inward feeding can make Kanter eat enough cakes, not to mention anything else, two to three [one-shot souls] per game are enough for Kanter to show a dunk.

Vitesse is characterized by being a scoring guard, with a certain tonnage, a relatively strong ability to hold the ball, and a good defense; The disadvantage is that there is basically no ability to do without the ball, and the three-point is unstable.

It doesn't matter, Li Liang can play blocking and dismantling with you, and use the off-ball run to pull the space wide and let you attack with the ball. As for things like three-pointers, Lao Tzu can shoot alone, and I will top the opponent's team by myself.

Of course, there are also people like Singler, who have no merits and are all disadvantages, and that's okay too.

In the substitute time, Li Liang can help you make up for it with all the advantages and no disadvantages, you make up the numbers on the field, don't make mistakes, don't foul, don't make trouble, it's OK.

If you are lucky, you can get two assists, and you can still get a point or something, and by the way, inherit Li Liang's name as "Golden Bomber" and become the successor of his nickname, the spiritual pillar of the second team, which is also excellent.

And Li Liang was a bit of a big bag in the second lineup before, and after he got on the court, everyone else played assist, and Lao Tzu did it when he had the ball.

Anyway, he can score more points alone than the bench on both sides combined, after all, he was the regular season scoring champion last season.

And he had to do it if he had to complete the task of scoring the highest score of the game off the bench at the time.

In recent games, Li Liang began to pursue a team style of play and began to play tactics with a second team.

Not only that, after the interview today, Li Liang continued to return to the field to warm up with his teammates and began to take a few substitutes for tactical drills.

Mike Brown was on the side to assist in coaching, and Li Liang himself participated in training and commanded his teammates, which was quite a bit of a head coach.

Is this a proper rhythm to rebel and set up another central government?

Li Liang didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to get over the addiction of being a coach in advance.

Moreover, Li Liang gradually discovered that he was likely to use the wrong artifact [Bob Knight's Hair Dryer] from the beginning.

This hair dryer is not used to curse at all, but to train players to execute according to their own ideas.

Li Liang used a nine-toothed nail rake to subdue demons and eliminate demons as a farming tool for cultivating land.

I think when I first got this prop, it didn't say that it was used to scold people.

He just felt that it was very easy to scold, and he slowly got used to it.

After the warm-up workout, the Thunder left the Quickloan Center and went to a nearby restaurant to eat and prepare for the evening's game.

……

At half past six in the evening, there was still an hour before the start of the game, and the quick loan center was already full.

Because this game has attracted much attention, all major TV stations have started live broadcasts in advance to carry out various warm-up activities.

There are grand street dance performances and acrobatic performances at the Quick Loan Center, and this NBA is really a show.

The various activities on the scene caused the opening time to be delayed by 15 minutes before the starters of both sides stood on the field.

The Cavaliers' starters tonight are James, Paul George, Thompson, Dellavedova and J.R. Smith.

Irving was sadly absent tonight due to injury, while J.R. Smith became a free agent in the summer, signed with the Cavaliers on a mid-level clause, and was recruited by James.

Bird is ruthless enough, knowing that last season's lineup was completely built around Li Liang, and as soon as Li Liang left, all of them were demolished and rebuilt.

Therefore, Garnett, JR-Smith, Shambaught, McGee and other expired contracts have not been renewed.

There were no big fish in the free market, and seeing that the Thunder and Warriors were in full swing, they decisively chose to lie dormant and rot.

And after Smith assisted Li Liang, he went to assist James, who can be called a generation of celebrities.

On the bench of the Cavaliers, there is still McGee, and the Cavaliers are drawing Li Liang's three fools from last season to determine the world in the East.

There's no one left to eat here.

Li Liang sat on the bench, and across the technical table, he greeted McGee on the opposite bench from afar, and McGee responded to him!

In his year with the Pacers, Li Liang still had a great impact on McGee, not only giving him a championship ring, but also giving him stronger confidence.

As a result, he turned around and signed a small contract with the Cavaliers...... I don't know what to think, can't I go for a big contract?

But Li Liang forgot that this kind of operation of signing a small contract to go to a strong team to win the championship was brought up by you!
