On the morning of July 12, Li Liang woke up from his sleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief that last night's mission had been successfully completed.

He replaced Havlicek in a 1966 Boston Celtics game against the Philadelphia 76ers, grabbed three steals and helped the team win the game.

1966 was the year Havlicek began to become an All-Star, and it was also the last year that the Celtics won eight consecutive championships.

Li Liang is already familiar with the lineup and style of play of the Celtics in the 60s.

His [Steal] ability value has successfully reached 40 points, and his basic defensive ability from the outside has reached 66 points.

Compared with the previous competition tasks, Li Liang no longer needs to use some opportunistic methods, but uses his performance on the field to achieve his goals.

First, because the NBA in the 60s was not of a high standard, slow speed, poor confrontation, and the team's technical and tactical level could not be compared with now.

If you play mission matches in the 90s and early 21st century, it won't be so easy.

Second, Li Liang's strength has really improved.

Not only has his stats improved, but his confidence, experience, and mind are growing rapidly.

In the past few years in Kentucky, although he has not fallen behind in training, he still lacks practical experience.

Several tasks of the system filled his vacancy very well.

He's still playing a real NBA game, and that feeling of being on the court, the experience of handling the ball, you can't get in training.

Li Liang, who was in a good mood, got up and cleaned up.

As soon as I opened the door, I found that Zhu Shu had already made breakfast in the kitchen.

There is also luggage at the door, and today he and Wei Dazhi are going to Las Vegas to represent the Lakers in the summer league.

Zhu Shu has already arranged everything.

This broker is just perfect.

If it was another agent, there were other players under him, and he would definitely not be able to control Li Liang now.

As for what to cook breakfast, pack luggage, arrange itineraries, and book air tickets, don't even think about it.

Hiring an agent is equivalent to finding another life assistant!

Kill two birds with one stone!

Li Liang felt embarrassed to think about it, and spent one money to let people do two jobs.

As a reward, he booked a PS4 and a large-screen LCD TV for Zhu Shu.

Now that the goods haven't arrived, it is estimated that Zhu Shu will receive it when he plays in Vegas.

Girls who love to play games are really good, after all, game consoles are cheaper than luxury goods.

Moreover, luxury goods can only be used by her alone, and the game console can be played by two people.

Halfway through breakfast, Wei Dazhi rushed out of the room and shouted, "Nash is here!" Nash is here! Nash! Nash! ”

Li Liang said: "What Nash is here?" What nerves do you have? ”

Wei Dazhi said: "Watch the news! Last night, Nash was traded to the Lakers! It was just officially announced this morning! ”

When Li Liang heard this, he hurriedly opened his mobile phone and took a look, and sure enough, there was overwhelming news about the trade between the Lakers and the Suns.

The Lakers traded four draft picks in '13, '14 and '18 for two-time MVP winner Steve Nash from the Suns.

After missing out on Chris Paul, the Lakers finally have a super point guard.

Although Nash is 38 years old, he also led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals two years ago, playing six games against the Lakers.

The deal sent a wave of frenzy in the NBA media, especially in the Los Angeles sports world.

In comparison, the news of the Lakers' trip to the summer league today has not been reported except for a short message.

Nash is a player that Li Liang likes very much, and it feels good to think of being able to play with him.

Li Liang, who had breakfast, said goodbye to Zhu Shu and took a car with Wei Dazhi to Los Angeles International Airport.

The Lakers Summer League team will assemble here and fly to Vegas for Summer League.

The whole team plus Li Liang has a total of 11 players, including Robert Thackeray and Darius Morris.

The others are some undrafted, fringe players who were recruited by the Lakers to be cannon fodder in the summer league.

This is the case with the typical pyramid industry of professional sports, where the most dazzling top is supported by many obscure eliminators.

After Li Liang arrived at the airport, he joined the team.

Looking at these unfamiliar faces and names, I said that everyone may be cannon fodder, and they will not leave any place in the long and glorious history of the NBA.

However, being with cannon fodder does not affect Li Liang's mood, on the contrary, because everyone is small and transparent, it is natural to get along.

Robert Thackeray is as cheerful as ever, and he responds positively to whatever others say.

A player named Christian Aynga, who was drafted by the Cavaliers in the '09 first-round pick.

This guy was lucky, he didn't play in the NCAA and played in the Spanish second division in his early years.

Later, the Cleveland Cavaliers somehow dug him out of La Liga and drafted him in the first round!

He spent a year in Spain, played in the United States for 10 years in the summer league, and the Cavaliers offered him a four-year, $5 million contract.

LeBron James had just decided to go to the Miami Heat that summer, and it could have been a remedy from the mad Cavaliers management.

Their ability to tap into talent is truly unpredictable.

Anyway, the lucky Aynga went from Congo to Spain and inexplicably went to the United States and got a million-dollar contract.

The Cavaliers traded Ayngar to the Lakers last summer in exchange for Luke Wharton.

And Aienga's level is also not getting any playing opportunities in the Lakers.

His contract expired this summer and he signed a short-term contract with the Lakers to play in Summer League.

In short, this is a lucky boy, he loves to laugh, after all, people who love to laugh are not too lucky.

Think about it, you are an African, you played well in the Spanish Second Division, and suddenly you were selected by the NBA in the first round, and you got a contract of 5 million, and you don't have to play much, can you not be happy every day?

Li Liang had a good conversation with the African, and Aynga said that he had a younger brother who used to study in Guangzhou, China, and also loved to play basketball.

Li Liang didn't expect that he could have a lot to do with China, and the two had more topics in common.

The crowd chattered happily along the way, and in the afternoon they arrived in the legendary Las Vegas.

A casino city in the United States, an entertainment paradise in the desert.

This Lakers Summer League is led by Mike Brown himself, and Brown is very lenient with the players.

After arriving at the hotel, he announced his activities, going to the COX gymnasium tomorrow morning to practice and start the game in the afternoon.

Anyway, it's a bunch of marginalized people, and summer league is more like a vacation and a party opportunity for coaches.

When the players heard the news, they broke up happily and went out to play.

What is Las Vegas?

In addition to the casino, a variety of entertainment facilities are available.

Anyway, if you want to fall here, this side will provide you with eighteen layers of hell.

As a young man, Li Liang was of course quite fun-loving, but this time he held back.

Faced with the invitations of Thackeray, Aynga and others, Li Liang refused, and he decided to practice.

Mike Brown saw that Li Liang didn't go out and asked him what was going on, and Li Liang asked him if he had a place to play.

Brown looked at Li Liang, of course he was very impressed by Li Liang, and the call at the press conference showed that this young man was not simple.

However, Brown, who is not a simple young man, has seen a lot, and everything still depends on the performance on the field.

Everyone else is going to play, and he's going to play training?

Well... He must be a fool.

That's what Brown had in mind.

He thinks that you don't take this opportunity to have fun as a second-round show, can you become a star when you practice?

But he still said: "You can go to the COX arena, it's open today, you can get the identity card of the Lakers player, you can go in." ”

So, Li Liang packed his luggage and set off for the COX Gymnasium.

Mike Brown shook his head, thinking to himself that no matter how hard you practice, it's going to be hard to get ahead because this is the Lakers.

Thinking of this, Brown himself sighed to himself, how long can he stay in Los Angeles?

I didn't want to go out and have fun, and Brown decided to relax and not want to worry about it.

No wonder, how can Mike Brown understand Li Liang's heart at the moment, basketball is the most fun for him.

Because he is growing rapidly, he is growing happily every day.

And Mike Brown's growth has stalled with the departure of that man.

In addition to changing his glasses, he has not yet found a new growth point in his life.

Now that the Lakers have one more Nash, expectations for the Lakers have been raised even further.

Can Mike Brown still do his job and live up to expectations?

Brown scratched his bald head and left the hotel to have fun.
