Chapter 3: An Unfair World

The Kentucky Wildcats celebrated into the evening, with a party taking place at the hotel where they were staying.

University of Kentucky students, school officials, parents of players, and celebrities in the basketball community attended the event. The party was quite spectacular, as many of the people present were big men over 2 meters.

As the top basketball school in the United States, Kentucky has proud resources and is full of peach and plum in the basketball world.

Calipari and Anthony Davis remain in the spotlight.

Calipari gave a statement of thanks on stage, which was met with loud applause and cheers from the others.

And Anthony Davis, who was silent in the face of cross-examination by media people about the draft, said that he needed to think about it seriously.

Li Liang knows that Anthony Davis will definitely participate in the NBA draft this summer.

Although he was only a freshman, that's what all NCAA talent does, playing a year in the NCAA as a springboard and then moving into the professional league for a million-dollar salary.

Not only for the money, but also because the NBA is now more and more focused on player potential.

It's rare to finish four years of college like Tim Duncan, or three years like an '80s star.

If a player stays in college for three or four years before entering the draft, it's either because he doesn't have enough talent or because he wasn't drafted at all.

Of course, there are also people like the University of Florida in 06-07, Horford, Brewer and Noah in the team, in order to help the team achieve two consecutive championships, stayed together to play the junior year before participating in the NBA draft, and they succeeded.

Such a situation is very rare after all, and Anthony Davis does not need it.

He's already achieved an NCAA championship that many NBA superstars can't achieve, and now the only thing that awaits him is the NBA battlefield.

Thinking of this, Li Liang had to sigh at the unfairness of life.

He took a chance to leave the party venue silently and went upstairs to his room in the hotel.

Compared to the lively party scene, the room was deserted, isolating everything outside.

Li Liang took off his clothes and lay on the bed, he took a deep breath, thinking to himself, this world is indeed unfair, but God closes some doors, and always opens some windows.

Even open a back door.

Soon, Li Liang fell asleep, but his dream looked different from someone else's.

[Welcome to the All-Around King's Training Ground again, visitor: Bruce Lee, 6'9 tall, 227 pounds]

It turned out that two weeks ago, after Li Liang experienced a falling into the water and fell into a coma, he inexplicably entered the so-called "Almighty King" training ground, and since then he has become a member of the army of thousands of systems.

In this regard, Li Liang was very excited, thinking that he would become an NBA superstar with this system, realize his life dream, and go to the peak of life.

But he soon discovers that things are not so simple.

[Whether to continue the mission.] 】

A dialog box popped up in front of Li Liang's eyes, and Li Liang's conscience moved and chose yes.

It has been more than two weeks since he had this system, but what kind of function it has, Li Liang still hasn't completely figured it out.

Because of two weeks, he didn't even complete the first task, and every time he came in, it was this dialogue interface.

After choosing "yes", Li Liang felt that there was darkness in front of him, but he didn't panic, he knew what would happen next.

Soon, the surroundings became bright, and he came to a basketball court.

The venue looks a little old, not at all as shiny as the New Orleans arena, and it looks more like an assembly hall.

[Mission: The first step of the all-around king, time: November 22, 1950, location: Minneapolis Auditorium, Minnesota, USA, vs: Minneapolis Lakers VS Wienburg Pistons, mission requirements: lead the Lakers to defeat the Pistons, personal data score over 30 points, rebounds over 15, assist over 5]

It turned out that Li Liang was transported to an NBA game in 1950.

It was in the NBA more than 60 years ago, and it is fundamentally different from today's NBA.

The stadium is a renovated auditorium, with beautiful patterns on the ceiling, bright chandeliers, and a maple floor in a somewhat dull color.

Crowds were filled on all sides, dressed in dark tweed coats, bowler hats, some with canes, and the female audience was dressed conservatively, many with curly hair, dressed in old-school American attire.

The buzz was a bit noisy, but it was much quieter than the New Orleans arena.

Li Liang is wearing a Minneapolis Lakers jersey and sits on the sidelines, and he will play for the Lakers tonight.

Before heading to Los Angeles, the location of the Lakers was Minneapolis, the land of Ten Thousand Lakes, hence the name Lakers.

When Li Liang entered this task for the first time, in addition to being surprised by the extreme realism of the scene, he only felt that this task must be very simple.

Although this is the NBA, this is the NBA in 1950.

There is no three-point line, the three-second zone is only 6 feet, the players are all white, and the physical fitness is two notches behind the current players, and the technical level is three notches worse.

Li Liang is confident that with his ability to be the chief water cooler manager of an NCAA championship team, it will not be a problem to complete the task.

But this is more than two weeks, and Li Liang is always a little short of completing the task.

At this point, on-court play had already begun, with Lakers center George McCann and Pistons center Larry Foster jumping in the middle circle.

Li Liang sat on the bench, he knew that the ball must have been jumped by Foster, because he had seen it more than a dozen times.

After the Pistons got the ball, they dribbled past half court and immediately handed the ball to center Foster.

Foster stood near the center circle and didn't go to the basket, and George McCann, who was opposite him, had already gone to the interior to organize the defense.

Then Foster just stood there with the ball in his hand, motionless.

That's right, he just stood there and didn't move!

At first, Li Liang thought that there was something wrong with the system, and he tried to correct it.

As a result, he was stopped by the referee and ate a foul.

Later, after going out of the system space, Li Liang checked the Internet and found out that this game was the famous low-score battle in NBA history!

At that time, the 24-second rule was not in effect, and one side could possess the ball indefinitely.

Prior to this game in 1950, the Wienburg Pistons had not won against the Lakers since they were founded in NBA1946.

And the Lakers have won 29 straight games on their home court, and Pistons coach Maury Mendenhall doesn't want the Pistons to be the 30th to go under the knife.

Therefore, on the way here, he held a meeting to discuss with the players and decided to adopt a "shameless" possession tactic, standing there with the ball and not attacking, wasting time until he got a perfect opportunity to attack again.

The final score of this game was 18:19, which is lower than the current NBA score in a quarter, and the Pistons finally won the victory.

The combined scores of the two sides are only 37 points, and the task requires Li Liang to score 30 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists?

The total number of points he created by himself is 40 points, which is higher than the total number of points scored by both teams in history, how can this be played?

Moreover, he was a substitute at first, and he had to wait until Lakers coach John Kundera replaced him on the court before he could start the mission.

He tried to communicate with Kundera, but he didn't get a response at all, and he was an NPC.

The Lakers players and Lakers fans at the scene were blindsided, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

When they reacted, the audience couldn't help but scold, and some even threw newspapers and coins into the venue.

But the players on both sides still seemed to have cast a spell, and some fans couldn't bear it and chose to leave the stadium one after another.

Li Liang couldn't help it, and while scolding "I'm a", he could only wait patiently, waiting for John Kundera to send him on the field.

This time he vowed to complete the task.

Because the reward for this mission is so attractive: a chance to enter the NBA.
