Chapter 654: Bruce VS James

In fact, Julius Randle is a fan of Li Liang.

Randall was willing to choose Zhu Shu as his agent, partly because Zhu Shu was Li Liang's agent and girlfriend, and he felt that he could get closer to Li Liang.

Later, when Li Liang came to the Knights, Randall was quite excited.

It's a pity that the excitement didn't pass for a few days, and Li Liang operated again, applied for a deal and left.

This made Randle very depressed, and he thought he could play with the amazing seniors and learn from him.

In Kentucky, Li Liang has become a legend.

A man who sat on the bench for four years became a superstar in the NBA.

And he's still a Chinese.

Since Li Liang entered the NBA and achieved amazing results, Calipari has often talked about Li Liang in ordinary times.

It made the players in Kentucky think this brother is very amazing - in fact, when he was in Kentucky, he was really a water cooler in a water cooler.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Li Liang is so legendary.

A young man like Randall, of course, would love and adore him.

And after coming to the Cavaliers, Randle's performance has been up and down.

The Cavaliers have James and George on the front line, and Randle, as a rookie, has limited room for development.

And Randle himself is a very thoughtful player, and he is not willing to just play a supporting role in the Cavaliers - although James is destined to be a supporting role.

Randle played hard and didn't have much playing time.

However, he seems to be a little too hardworking, too lonely, too focused on his own play, and ignores the knight as a whole.

This is contrary to the goal of Blat, and the entire knight.

This is also the dilemma of many rookies in championship-level teams.

On the one hand, you can play and learn with superstars on strong teams, and you may even gain experience in the playoffs and finals early, and even quickly get championship honors that some players can't get in their lifetime.

On the other hand, because you are a rookie, unless you are a "genius" like Li Liang (a hanging), then in order to win, you will inevitably not get too much playing time.

Even if you have playing time, it is likely that you will not be able to develop fully as a functional player, but may be limited.

Randle took Li Liang as an example, watching his senior brother make great achievements in the league, after he came to the Cavaliers, although Li Liang came and went, the Cavaliers were still a top team with the hope of winning the championship.

Randle thinks he has every chance of playing the same role that Li Liang did when he was with the Lakers.

It's a pity that on the one hand, the ability is not enough, on the other hand, Blatter is not Mike Brown, and Randle is not even very stable as a substitute.

For the sake of long-term development, Zhu Shu thought it was necessary to let Li Liang mention his little junior brother.

In the history of the NBA, there are actually quite a few such mentions, some in the game and some off the court.

This is what we call "inheritance".

But Zhu Shu forgot that Li Liang was only in the third grade.

He is still so young, which old man is still waiting for him to pass on his skills, and let him give others some tips?

Sorry, this feature is not available for the time being, it is not old enough.

By the time the warm-up was over, at six o'clock in the evening, the Cavaliers arrived at the Consec Arena.

The Pacers left the court to give the Cavaliers time to warm up, and before leaving, Randle took the initiative to find Li Liang and shake hands and hug him.

Li Liang said to Randle: "I won't show mercy tonight, if you have a chance to play, you must go all out, OK?" ”

A hot-blooded young man like Randall, hearing the old senior say this, of course it was a hundred OK.

He didn't know how miserable he would be after this one OK.

Of course, the premise is that he has to get playing time.

……

At half past seven in the evening, the Consec Arena is about to usher in this super battle in the East.

The full lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers, against the Indiana Pacers.

There are also a lot of grievances between James and the Pacers.

And the bond between George and the Pacers is just as deep.

Standing on the court, George saw Danny Granger standing opposite, and his feelings were quite complicated.

In short, the two teams are really interesting.

James and Li Liang each stood on one side, and the two hugged each other before the game began.

Although the two knights are intolerable, it is not a matter of their personalities, but there are many other reasons.

Compared to the time when he was with the Heat, James is leaner, and at the same time, he has removed the headband on his head, making him look more mature.

It is said that he succeeded in getting a hair transplant...... But just now Li Liang touched the back of his head again, and it is estimated that after a few more games, the back of his head will also have a hair transplant.

The Cavaliers' starters are Masimmy, Thompson, George, James plus Irving.

This is a more traditional starting lineup, with two defensive interior lines, so that the team's offensive pressure is on the outside.

But the knight's outside line is really luxurious, so even if the inside attack power is insufficient, the outside line is enough to make up for it.

Truth be told, the Cavaliers have some redundancy in the center position.

In addition to Masimmy, Brandon Haywood, Perkins, Vallejo, Mozgov were sitting on the bench.

can make up a death five, a death five that has no offensive ability at all.

And the backcourt and forward line that are really needed are only a few people such as Dellavidova, Mike Miller, and James Jones.

And among them, there is no one who has the first-mover strength and can be the sixth person, to be honest.

Marion, who signed in the summer, including Mike Miller, is too old to make a big difference.

Therefore, the Cavaliers Big Three are luxurious, and the corresponding substitutes are quite weak.

As for the Pacers, the center is McGee, a lone seedling, a pure big center.

The forward ball-carriers are gathered in a bunch and ready to have a meeting.

Among them, Li Liang is the head of all the forward ball carriers, and this is a three-headed monster, a game against a unicorn dragon.

McGee and Masimmi walked to the center circle and started jumping the ball.

The game began, McGee jumped high, took the lead in dialing the ball, and headed towards Li Liang!

The power was a bit big, and it smashed into Li Liang's face!

However, Li Liang still "stopped the ball" steadily and controlled the ball.

β€œSorry……”

"Run!"

Li Liang is used to such accidents, and McGee's like this shows that he is normal today.

The nose is a little sour, and I guess I'm going to be embarrassed again.

Since the three fools came to the Pacers, Li Liang is about to replace McGee as the top five embarrassment.

Those who won MVP and FMVP will be really embarrassed to win the first NBA embarrassment in the end.

The master made a move, and both sides played a little stiff at the beginning.

Li Liang may have been stunned by McGee's opening ball in the face, and he made a mistake in passing.

And James counterattacked with the ball unsuccessfully, and was followed by Li Liang from the side and back, cutting off the ball.

Out of bounds, it's still the Knights' possession.

Paul George is back at Consecco Arena for the first time since the trade and may be a little nervous.

To be honest, George didn't feel sorry for the Pacers, it was Bird who traded him away.

So the fans at the scene also gave George enough applause.

George reciprocated by hitting a three-point shot, Thompson grabbed the rebound in the front court and passed, and George received the ball and then shot...... Still missed.

George's shooting is still inconsistent.

But when it comes to the defensive end, he devotes all his energy to dealing with Li Liang.

Blatter knew that letting Thompson defend Li Liang would be for nothing, and James's defense of Li Liang would be too expensive, so George must be allowed to go.

George's defense is really good, and Li Liang gave the main offensive power to Granger in the opening game, and let Granger attack Thompson.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the two sides played several rounds, and for three minutes, they didn't even score.

It wasn't until Granger broke through the basket and caused Thompson's foul to stand at the free-throw line that the game opened.

The opening defense on both sides was very targeted.

The knights let George stick to Li Liang one-on-one, and the others joined together to help defend.

This proved to be the most effective defensive strategy.

And the Pacers' defense against James is even simpler - one-on-one with Li Liang.

James' strong passing and response ability leads to any bag that is too heavy for him.

And Li Liang's powerful three-point score made any team that dared to send only one person to defend him pay a heavy price.

The collision between the two superstars is staged again.

After coming to the Pacers, the game between their teams can really be called "Bruce vs James".
