Chapter 4: A Good Start (Ball Recommended!) Ball storing! )

Li Liang didn't quite understand the reward: getting a chance to enter the NBA.

Will he be drafted by the NBA directly after completing the mission, or will there be some other way to help him get into the NBA, such as helping him become a security guard in the NBA?

Anyway, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

For more than two weeks, he entered the system every day, over and over again, tirelessly playing in the lowest-scoring game in NBA history.

In addition to not being able to start and having an ultra-low total score, there are several difficulties in the mission.

First, the strength of the players on the field is not as weak as he imagined.

After many confrontations and a review of information, Li Liang determined that the system should have improved the competitive level of the players in the fifties to increase the difficulty of the task.

However, the players' technical and tactical movements, as well as their playing habits, are still stuck in the fifties.

For example, there are almost no long-range shots, dribbling strictly follows the rules, and there are no street-ball dribbling movements such as crossovers.

Second, he had no way to communicate with his teammates during the game.

Although the environment and players are extremely realistic, no different from reality, Li Liang has no way to communicate with his teammates.

These people are NPCs, maybe in future missions, he can get the opportunity to communicate, but not now.

Third, the pesky Wienburg Pistons are not going to change their tactics because of the change in the situation on the court.

Li Liang was very close to completing the task several times before, helping the Lakers take a big lead.

But the Pistons still used "ball control tactics" and dragged the pace of the game as slow as a turtle, resulting in time running out, the Pistons losing the game, and Li Liang also failed in the mission.

With the accumulation of many experiences, Li Liang knew that he was not far from completing the task.

Last time, he was only one assist away from completing the task, but unfortunately his teammates took the ball like a fool and didn't shoot, running out of time, so angry that Li Liang almost rushed up and kicked him.

Now, Li Liang kind of understands why this system is called [Almighty King].

This first task is to ask yourself to take care of everything.

Not only must the offense be successful, but also the defense must disrupt the opponent's offense, and at the same time lead teammates to win the game.

So, this seemingly simple task is really not so easy to complete.

Li Liang is very patient, because this system has a benefit.

Playing in it, although I feel that my physical strength is being consumed, I am not tired after waking up, but I will feel a little sleepy, and it will be good to sleep a little longer.

This means that Li Liang can hone his physical fitness during the day and improve his technical level in his dreams at night.

Although so far, his improvement in his skills in this breaking competition has been limited, but it may not be possible in the future.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides played 8-7, and the Pistons led by one point.

Li Liang, who has watched the record of this game, knows that this is already the highest scoring quarter in the four quarters of the game.

Lakers coach John Kundera and Pistons coach Menden Hall, two old turtles, one uses joint defense, and they don't let McCann come out, and the other lets the center control the ball in the midfield, and McCann doesn't attack if he doesn't come out.

In the end, McCann couldn't stand it and took the initiative to defend Foster, and the two sides had their first offensive and defensive switch.

After that, every attack on both sides was extremely precious, and it was harder to shoot than to eat.

The Lakers players knew that it would take time for the Pistons to get the ball, so they also began to be cautious and not shoot until they were completely sure.

The two teams teamed up to make for one of the most bizarre matchups in NBA history.

In the second quarter, John Kundera patted Li Liang and motioned for him to play.

Li Liang hurriedly took off his jacket and appeared on the stage wearing the Lakers' white jersey and tight shorts.

The first time he wore these pants to play on the court, Li Liang felt very unaccustomed.

Because the pants are so short, it's about the same as wearing boxers.

On his feet, he wears flat-soled Converse shoes, not to mention air cushions, and the rubber on the soles is hard.

But it doesn't matter if you play too much, these sexy little shorts are actually quite cool to wear, and they don't affect the movement of your legs and feet at all.

As for the shoes, they don't hurt in the system anyway, it doesn't matter.

Li Liang tried to bite his arm, but it hurt at the time, and there was no trace on his arm after waking up.

Li Liang appeared as the team's big forward, guarding the team's interior line.

He was partnered with the first superstar in NBA history, legendary George McCann, a five-time BAA/NBA champion for the Lakers.

Of course, from the looks of it, he doesn't look like a basketball superstar at all.

He wore a pair of thick round glasses, his hair was combed with hairspray, and if he weren't for his huge height of 6 feet 10 inches, he would look like a company employee.

Despite his seemingly well-mannered appearance, George McCann is a tough guy on the court.

In the 1949 Finals, McCann was unstoppable, and the head coach of the opposing Capitol team, Auerbach, used a brutal ramming tactic that eventually broke McCann's wrist.

As a result, McCann put a cast on his left wrist and continued to play, but instead went from strength to strength, helping his team beat his opponent in one fell swoop and won his first NBA championship.

The poster of McCann wearing the No. 99 jersey wearing a plaster cast to participate in the game became the earliest classic image in the NBA.

Li Liang looked at this big man with glasses, although he was only 6 feet 10 (2.08 meters), he was already a giant in the early NBA.

At that time, there were teams where the center forwards were less than 2 meters tall.

And his height is real, without any false reporting.

Unlike today's NBA players, who are about two meters tall, they have to report 2.06 meters.

For those who are 2.06 meters/6 feet 9, they have to go to 6 feet 11 inches (2.11 meters) or even 7 feet (2.13 meters) to make a false report.

Li Liang knew that his five assists would depend on this big man.

Learning from the lessons of the previous games, he decided that he must finish the assists first, and then he can concentrate on scoring points.

The second quarter of the game begins, jumping ball.

In the 1950s, the game was a little different from the current game, with four quarters, and each quarter was played with a jump ball to compete for the ball, rather than just a symbolic jump at the beginning of the game, as is the case today.

In earlier basketball games, jump balls were more frequent, and each time one side scored, they had to jump again to fight for the ball.

Later, for the sake of the flow of the game, it was changed, until now it has become an opening jump ball.

Li Liang took the initiative to stand in the middle circle, and McCann did not object, so he let Li Liang jump the ball.

Although McCann was a center, the medical and athletic environment was very poor at that time, and his two legs had long been injured and he could not jump, so he always lost the jump ball.

Li Liang is different, his legs are still full of vitality, and he easily jumped to win the opponent and help the Lakers get the ball.

The Lakers, who got the ball, didn't rush to attack, and like the Pistons, they began to pass the ball from the outside.

When the ball was passed to Li Liang, Li Liang did not continue to play the game of drumming and passing flowers, but saw an opportunity, bowed his head and waist, and held the ball in the middle and went directly to the penalty area!

The 1950 three-second zone was only 6 feet wide, so when connected to the free throw ring, it looked like a keyhole.

McCann stood at the top of the keyhole, deep under the basket.

Li Liang's dribbling was much better than that of the players of that era, and the opponent didn't expect Li Liang to break through with the ball as a big forward.

This breakthrough came unexpectedly, Li Liang passed the defender in one fell swoop, and then rushed straight to the basket.

The opponent's center Foster came up to make up for the defense, and Li Liang took a step, jumped with his right foot and made a left-handed layup.

Flying into the air, Li Liang put the ball away.

Turn around and make a pass to the side, and the ball is in the hands of McCann under the basket.

McCann, who received the ball under the basket, was unguarded, he didn't even bother to jump, and with a slight lift of his hand, the ball hit the board into the basket and scored two points.

Li Liang received an assist.

After the goal, Li Liang clenched his fist, which was a good start!
