When he woke up the next day, Li Liang was late for the morning training.

Recently, for the task of interior defense, Li Liang has entered the system every night, and Li Liang has become a late king.

Mike Brown, as the head coach, is still very worried about the state of his thighs, afraid that he will go out at night to fool around.

A big reason why many rookies hit the wall is that they are out of the discipline of the university, and after playing serious football for a few months, they start to spend all day drinking.

Today is the media training open day, and many reporters are filming and interviewing in the training hall.

It is estimated that his late arrival will be used as black material by some media to attract attention.

After Li Liang changed his clothes, Brown talked to Li Liang and asked him about his recent condition.

Why are you always late, and you don't stay at night to practice, is there something wrong?

Li Liang couldn't explain this, so he asked rhetorically: "Mike, how do you say I have been playing recently?" ”

"It's good, it's good in all areas, it's improving on defensive rebounds," Brown said. ”

Li Liang said: "Then why do you care about me so much." ”

After speaking, Li Liang ran to warm up and prepare for training.

Brown couldn't refute it, and shook his head, thinking that he seemed to care a little too much about Li Haohao.

From the very beginning of the summer league to lead the Lakers, he was indifferent to this kid, and even a little bit of a joke to see how long he could stay in the NBA.

Later, I found out that this kid was full of surprises, and he was really a very good, professional player.

Although as a head coach, it is very shameless to be scolded by the second-round show.

But in the Lakers, where there are too many deceitful and insincere players, such an upright player, Brown feels that he is lucky to have him.

Hey, what's going on, how do you think about this......

Tomorrow will play the Bucks, and the day after tomorrow, the Lakers will play the Heat at home.

This game is highly anticipated, and the Lakers have an injured lineup on the inside, so what can be done?

It's easy for Brown to shift his thoughts from praising Li Liang to worrying about the team's lineup.

Li Liang yelled at Brown: "Mike! What are you in a daze, come and help! ”

Li Liang called Brown over, and he was working with Thackeray and Clark on the pick-and-roll defense.

The assistant coaches and trainers are a bit too busy and need to add an extra person.

So, Li Liang called Mike Brown over in a loud voice.

Mike Brown trotted to the basket and took the ball from Chuck Payson.

The Lakers' defense and dismantling have always been weak, and before Howard, with Li Liang, could defend well.

Howard is gone, the innermost barrier is lost, and Li Liang alone is the pressure has increased dramatically.

Payson said to Brown: "Bruce said he could play center, and he thought he was okay. ”

Brown looked at Leung, who was discussing with Thackeray under the basket.

Thackeray doesn't have the ability, but he has the awareness and the theoretical knowledge, and he's the best defensive player in the division in college.

Brown said to Payson: "Let him be, he can play as a center if he wants, I think it's okay." ”

Payson said, "Mike, you really have nothing to say to Bruce. ”

Brown smiled: "Everyone treats him the same, does he dare to fight back when he scolds you?" ”

Payson shook his head: "Don't dare, I also think it's strange, I always think he makes sense when he speaks." ”

"What are you two talking about? I'm already late, I don't have enough time, so I don't hurry! Li Liang saw that Brown was chatting with Payson, and it was another "reminder".

It's obvious that you're late and you have to be caught up by others, what kind of person?

Brown didn't say anything, and began to practice blocking and defending with a few people.

At this moment, Brown decided, and the next two games still did not let Howard play.

Let Li Liang play the inside line, and then talk about it after playing the Heat.

If I win, it's my Mike Brown who beats the defending champion with a magical small lineup.

If you lose, it is a non-war crime, and you can fight until the last moment without the inner pillar.

In this way, it is just right for Howard to recover from his injuries.

Brown's little abacus is crackling, and the guidance is even more energetic.

……

A day later, on January 15, the Lakers hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.

The eastern teams come to the west to play an away trip, except for a few super strong teams, which basically send warmth to the countryside.

After the Lakers experienced a three-day trip to hell with the Fire Horse, the Cavaliers and Bucks provided a buffer for the Lakers.

In this game, Mike Brown boldly changed the lineup, letting Earl Clarke play the starting power forward and Li Liang play the center.

Li Liang finally stood in the center position, and the interior defense during this period was not in vain.

A center is a center, and the name of a center is not called for nothing.

Before the start of the game, a large number of cameras were aimed at Li Liang.

The media and commentators are all curious, why did Bruce Lee run to the center position again?

Is this kid really omnipotent?

I don't know, who knows.

At the beginning, the two sides jumped the ball, and the ball flew into the air, but Li Liang didn't jump at all......

The Bucks' starting center is Larry Sanders, Li Liang is not as tall as him, his arm span is not as good, and the bounce is not as good.

Jump? Jump a fart. You can jump on your own.

As a result, Sanders was embarrassed to fly into the sky alone and flicked the ball towards his teammates.

It turned out to be crooked, and the ball was snatched by Nash.

Li Liang was awesome, didn't jump, and the scrum was successful.

See, this is the talent of playing center, not fighting is fighting, fighting is fighting.

The competition has officially begun.

The Bucks' record this year has been so-so, with a win rate of around 50% hovering on the edge of the playoff threshold.

The team's biggest problem is still in the attack, and the starting lineup does not have a really talented point of attack.

Brandon Jennings was once expected by the Bucks to score 50 points per game in his rookie season.

As a result, after a few years, there has been progress, but there has been no qualitative change.

This season was the final year of his rookie contract, and as a result, his form declined.

The scoring ability continues to decline, the improvement in the level of assists is limited, and it still can't really support a team's offense.

Playing the Lakers today, it stands to reason that the Lakers are empty inside, and Jennings should rush in and play more.

As a result, I rushed in, but I couldn't get in?

Two goals in a row were interfered with by Li Liang, this kid played center, and he turned out to be decent, something something.

As the saying goes, everything is most afraid of being serious, Li Liang's ability value has improved, although the improvement is limited, but he takes the work of playing center forward and protecting the basket very seriously.

In the process of doing tasks, he improved not only his ability, but also his experience.

Experience combined with attitude is a necessary quality for a qualified defensive interior line.

After the break in the first quarter, Li Liang and Kobe Bryant were replaced together.

Kobe Bryant was a little surprised, and stepped forward and said, "Boy, you did a good job, protecting the basket, rebounding, doing a good job." ”

Li Liang said: "Then can you share my salary a little?" ”

Kobe Bryant shook his head: "No, you should let Dwight divide you, you did his job." ”

Stingy, I didn't give birth to a son.

The Lakers led the Bucks by two points at 27:25 in the first quarter.

For a team like the Bucks that can't attack well, the Lakers are not very afraid.

In the second quarter, the Lakers maintained their suppression of the Bucks, and after Li Liang came on the court, he continued to do a good job of rebounding protection and basket protection.

The Bucks' interior line, Sanders and Li Liang, are in the opposite position, and his blocks are very powerful.

But he can't cover Li Liang, because Li Liang doesn't play inside, and he doesn't shoot mid-range.

He pulled out and shot a three-pointer, which cost Sanders his life.

was frequently pulled to the outside by Li Liang, resulting in the emptiness of the Bucks' inner line and loopholes.

Bryant and Nash are like going to a supermarket, constantly entering the three-second zone.

Bryant threw a throw, Nash hit the ground, and the Lakers began to establish an advantage in the second quarter.

By the third quarter, the Lakers began to blossom more.

After three interior injuries, the Lakers didn't just activate Clark, Jamison also contributed.

He can't defend, but his offense, his shooting, his weird turn and hook, can still work.

Li Liang continued to stabilize the basket defense and the offensive end to empty the inside.

To be honest, Li Liang's inside basket protection is so-so, and the problem is that the Bucks' offense is really not good.

They don't have talent, and they don't have a genius attacker who can infinitely expand the vulnerability when the other party has a vulnerability.

On the contrary, the more they played, the less confidence they had, and Jennings didn't break through, just threw outside.

He was called an iron tonight, shooting 1 of 7 from three-point range and 4 of 14 from the field.

This garbage shooting rate, in fact, can get a high score like Kobe, because Kobe Bryant doesn't feel good, he will break through and make fouls.

Jennings didn't, he only made three free throws in the whole game, how do you play.

By the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were 92-70, 22 points ahead of the Bucks.

After playing for a while, Kobe Bryant made two shots and stretched the difference to 26 points.

The bucks said I surrendered, I gave up, you don't fight, save some face.

Their head coach Jim Boylan replaced the main line-up and went to a pure bench line-up.

Li Liang was on the court again this time, and this time the person opposite him became Dareham Porter.

Li Liang still did not wear the medal of "Garbage King".

He's going to keep chanting!

I read it backwards last time, and I can't read it back this time.

Garbage time, both sides just play casually on the field.

Li Liang asked for the ball with his back in the waist position, not with his back, but only with his back to the basket.

Morris passed the ball to Li Liang, who received the ball and turned to face Durham Porter.

His mouth was already chattering:

“…… It is the stupidity of the laws, not throwing or iron, not passing or seeing, not risking or flying, not fighting and not retreating, it is because there is no wisdom in the stupidity, and there is no knowledge of what to do......"

Li Liang read these things out at a very fast speed, and then found that Damham Potter seemed to be frozen.

Immediately a dribbling stride actually passed Dareham Potter!

Li Liang went directly to the basket and barely clasped his hands!

The whole Stamp cheered! Bruce Lee dunks again!

The Lakers' bench was jubilant, and Bryant was frantically waving towels off the court.

Even Howard in a suit couldn't do it.

Dalem Potter is completely stunned, what's going on with this Nima?

Just now he felt chaos in his mind, and in 1 second, Li Liang passed by him.

Is he so fast?

In fact, it's not fast at all, with Li Liang's explosiveness and dribbling ability, Damham Porter can easily defend against it.

But he was affected by "The Book of Stays" and was in a trance.

After scoring the goal, Li Liang happily raised his arms, he was not happy because of the successful dunk, but the scriptures he recited were indeed useful!
