Chapter 175: Pistol's Last Wish
After playing the game against the Bobcats, the Lakers were given three days off.
Li Liang turned off his mobile phone, cut off himself from the outside world, and didn't read any Twitter or ins.
The controversy caused by his disparaging remarks about Jordan Kwakobie is estimated to be hot for two or three days.
When this period of time passes, go to Golden State to play a good game, and everything will pass.
Anyway, the memory of the fans is only 1 or 2 days, as long as you don't kill people and set fires, the past is over.
But Kobe Bryant didn't let Li Liang go.
In the past two days, Kobe Bryant has been very unpleasant to look at Li Liang.
The first was the Chevrolet sports car, and later Kobe Bryant knew the truth, the car was sent by the tractor manufacturer.
Now Kobe Bryant was even more angry, oh, you took my picture to advertise the tractor factory, and finally got a sports car to drive.
Spent my fame, lost my people, drove a luxury car?
Can this Kobe be endured?
In fact, Kobe Bryant didn't know, even if he didn't have this photo, if he used Li Liang's photo for advertising, the tractor factory would send sports cars.
Chinese pay attention to courtesy and exchanges, and this Yankee is as unambiguous as doing business and giving gifts.
Sending the car is not only on your Kobe Bryant's face, but also on Li Liang's father's face.
But Kobe Bryant doesn't care, it's too unpleasant, and he has to find a way to toss this kid.
And then the second thing is about the topic of Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
In principle, people like Kobe Bryant feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world.
You ask him to admit that Jordan is better than himself, that's impossible, never admit it.
But you have to make Kobe Bryant say that he is greater than Jordan, and Kobe's skin is not so thick.
Kobe didn't dare to say it himself, but Li Liang dared to say it.
He talked nonsense with a big mouth and blew Kobe Bryant into the sky.
By the way, Kobe Bryant claimed to win the MVP at the Washington meeting.
Kobe Bryant is still very happy in his heart, can he not be happy when he is praised by others?
Which superstar doesn't have two little fans on the team.
The world's number one dream is not Robert Hawley.
has been teammates with Olney and Duncan, but he still worships Olajuwon as a god.
If such a god-level role player blows out, it is no heavier than the remarks of ordinary fans.
Li Liang's league status is not much, but his contribution to the NBA gossip circle is almost catching up with others for ten years.
Being blown like this, Kobe Bryant felt very comfortable.
But if you feel comfortable, you will suffer in reality.
Not to mention the verbal criticism of the media and fans, all kinds of telephone interviews are now called to his home.
Taking advantage of the three-day break, Los Angeles TV also invited Kobe Bryant to do the show, and nine times out of ten, he wanted to ask this question.
Kobe Bryant wisely refused, didn't he set him on fire?
Just these two things, plus the previous "kissing the ass" incident, the new hatred and old hatred are counted together.
When the team decided to take a day off and rest, Kobe Bryant had to pull Li Liang to practice in the stadium and go heads-up!
This time, Kobe Bryant pointed out that he wanted to fight a real bull one-on-one, and he didn't let Li Liang only defend.
Who can withstand this?
Li Liang's ball-holding offense has not improved since he got the system.
This guy was abused from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
After the fight, Kobe Bryant was finally satisfied, happy, and comfortable.
Then, he began to show the tolerance and kindness of his famous name, and took the initiative to teach Li Liang to attack with the ball.
Li Liang refused directly!
Lao Tzu has a system, and he still needs you to teach?
I just don't want to learn, if I want to, minutes... It's impossible to surpass Kobe, it's a sure thing to be better than what you teach.
Kobe spread his hands and said, "If you don't learn, it's your loss, I don't teach everyone." ”
Li Liang snorted, took a shower and went home to rest.
In fact, it's quite interesting to go head-to-head with Kobe, the ability value is not rising, but the experience is rising.
It is still very reasonable to say that Scott Pippen was abused by Jordan for his defensive ability.
When he got home in the evening, Li Liang entered the system to check his ability level.
He found that in the dimension of [offensive ability], what [basket strong shot], [three-point strong shot], [confrontation layup], [anti-interference pick-and-basket] and other abilities have increased.
He didn't open any of these tasks, but the increase was not small.
For example, the ability value of [Basket Strong Throw], he still remembers that it was 19 points at the beginning.
Now it has risen to 25 points, an increase of 6 points.
In normal training, Li Liang did not deliberately practice forced shots under confrontation.
This should be due to the continuous improvement of physical fitness, and after the strengthening of confrontation ability, the ability to make strong shots has also been improved accordingly.
There is also the dimension of [strong three-point shooting], which was only a pitiful 1 point at the beginning, but then did a task, plus the improvement of physical fitness, it has risen to 20 points.
This is still very important to Li Liang.
After all, pure three-point open shots are still a minority, and they will be more or less disturbed.
The higher the ability to make a three-point shot, the stronger the anti-interference ability when shooting a three-point shot.
Originally, Li Liang wanted to complete the task of [basic defense on the inside] and ruin Lao Dengtou's debut.
But he thought that the day after tomorrow would fight the Warriors, and the day before yesterday because of his words, many people beeped themselves and hit the rookie wall.
Can he bear this?
What's wrong with hitting the wall, can't I just hit this wall through it?
After thinking about it, Li Liang decided to let go of Lao Deng Tou first, and entered the task of [strong three-point shooting] to take a look and add points to his offense.
So, Li Liang clicked into the task of [strong three-point shooting]:
[Mission, Pistol's Last Wish, Time: April 27, 1980, Location: Boston Garden Arena, USA, Matchup: Philadelphia 76ers VS Boston Celtics, Mission Requirements: Replace Pete Maravich on the stage, use three-point shots to help the Celtics counterattack, Mission reward: Strong shooting three-point ability value +15, anti-interference ability +5, critical moment ability +5, mission difficulty: star level]
Li Liang was taken aback when he saw this task, the previous ability improvement tasks below 40 points were all rookie level, 40-60 was ordinary level, and above 60 was star level.
Why is it that this is only 20 o'clock and is already a star? Add 15 points to your stats?
Moreover, how is TM's mission for the Celts?
I'm a Laker! The Lakers!
Forget it, it's too late to think about it, let's talk about advanced tasks.
All of a sudden, it was Boston Garden Square.
From the 60's to the 80's, it was still so noisy.
20 years have passed, and the quality of the fans has not improved at all, and there is a loud noise in public.
The venue is still so dilapidated, the floor is not repaired, and you can see the parquet edge slightly upturned when you sit on the sidelines!
Li Liang sat on the bench, carrying the No. 44 jersey and wearing thick knee pads tied to his legs.
He was on the bench for Celtic in place of Maravic.
It was Game 5 of the second round of the Eastern Conference of the 1980 NBA playoffs.
The Boston Celtics hosted the Philadelphia 76ers and they trailed 3-1.
Larry Bird has only been in his first season in the NBA, and he can't make the playoffs, and the Celtics, who are 29-53 in the regular season, have improved to 61-21 and enter the playoffs with the first place in the East.
After knocking out the Houston Rockets, they faced the mighty Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
At that time, the 76ers were in their prime, and the Celtics could not resist, and they fell behind 1:3 in the first four games and were already on the verge of elimination.
Even so, in the fifth game on their home turf, Celtic fans still came to Garden Square to support Celtic.
Boston fans, when the game is not over, are confident that their team can complete the comeback.
But the game didn't go as they expected, and the Philadelphia 76ers didn't want to waste any more time, and the Finals were beckoning for them.
Since losing the championship to the Trail Blazers in 1977, the 76ers and Dr. J are looking forward to re-entering the Finals to win the championship.
In the first three quarters, the Philadelphia 76ers kept pressing the Celtics.
They held a 12-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, with the Celtics on the brink of elimination.
The 12-point gap was almost irrecoverable in those days because there were so few three-pointers.
It was the first season in 1980 that the NBA introduced the three-point shot.
On average, each team made 2.8 three-pointers per game and hit 0.8, a shooting rate of just 28 percent.
The number of shots and the hit rate are not as good as Li Liang's shots and hits now.
The three-point shot is a rarity, and in the eyes of most coaches, it is a tactical blind spot, an anomaly.
In the eyes of players, only if they are forced to do so, they will try once or twice, and if they can score, they will hit the jackpot.
Only a handful of players with excellent shooting skills would try this new thing.
Maravich is one of them.
The player, who won many accolades and points in the 70s for his flamboyant style of play, had the nickname "Pistol".
It's about his fast shooting speed and high accuracy, like a western cowboy pulling out a pistol and shooting.
But his style of play didn't give him enough wins, he was too skinny and his defense was too bad.
Playing is just good-looking, scoring a lot of points, but not leading the team to win.
Injuries have been bothering him and his heart is not very good.
In 1979, he was recruited by Auerbach, who stated that it would be the last season of his career.
"I hope I can end my basketball career by bringing a championship to the team."
Maravich said this when he was traded to Boston, and everyone knew that the game against Philadelphia could be the last game of his career.
After coming to Boston, Maravich was interested in something new about the three-point line.
He was a substitute for the Celtics, playing only 15-20 minutes per game.
In that limited playing time, Maravich hit 10 three-pointers in the regular season, three of which came with the Celtics.
He shot 75 percent from three-point range with the Celtics, shooting 3-of-4.
10 three-pointers is a lot, and the Atlanta Hawks made 13 three-pointers that year.
It can be said that Maravich was born in the wrong era, and in that era when the inside line was king and there were no three-point points, his ability was not maximized.
After retiring, in 1988, during a 3v3 basketball match, he suffered a heart attack and died on the court.
Post-mortem autopsy revealed that his heart had one less coronary artery than normal.
"Pete!" On the Celtics bench, coach Bill Fitch yelled, "Play Pete." ”
Li Liang got up from the bench, took off the towel draped over his shoulders, and walked onto the court.
There are 10 minutes left until the end of the game, the end of Maravic's career.
