After finishing the graduation trip, Li Liang went to the gym in the evening to practice strength for an hour.

Not only to maintain his physical condition, but also to let him sleep better at night, so that he could enter the [Almighty King] system earlier and continue his leveling journey.

washed up and went to bed early, Li Liang came to the main interface of [Almighty King].

I saw my six-dimensional map at a glance, and my [offensive ability] was slightly improved because of the improvement of the three-point level.

The [physical fitness] column has also risen slightly.

Li Liang thought that if he didn't train and didn't play for a long time, his ability value would probably decline.

It seems that the usual exercise is indispensable, and when the time comes, I will go on a trip and take the basketball with me.

There are basketball courts all over the United States, and when he's not working, he has to practice to stay in shape.

After improving the ability to open three-pointers, Li Liangxiang's three-point score of 75 was temporarily enough.

If you don't have this system, it is estimated that you will not be able to break through the 70 hurdle after practicing for a lifetime.

Effort can improve ability, but there is a limit to everyone's ability.

The biggest significance of [Almighty King] is that it allows you to break through the upper limit through hard work and make your efforts more meaningful.

According to his own plan, Li Liang chose the major item of [Defensive Ability] this time.

With a thought, the specific interface of defensive ability was opened.

[Name: Bruce Lee, 6'8" 7, 229 pounds] (2 pounds longer)

[Dimension 3: Defensive Ability]

[Basic Defense from the Outside: 31/100]

[Lateral Movement: 33/100]

[Sticker/Follow: 31/100]

[Steal:15/100]

[Defensive Position and Prediction: 41/100]

[Basic Defense Inside: 17:/100]

[Low top defense: 20/100]

[High Defense: 11/100]

[Weak Side Supplement: 8/100]

[Defensive Rebound:31/100]

[Cap: 9/100]

[Special Skill: None]

[Overall evaluation: Grade E]

Li Liang looked at his only E-level evaluation, and sighed softly, sure enough, it was still garbage.

Li Liang pondered it himself, like E-level is a player who basically has nothing to do with the NBA, D-level belongs to the NBA marginal people, C-level belongs to the water cooler and the end of the bench, B-level is the role player and even team rotation, A-level is the team's main force and main rotation, S is the all-star level, SS needless to say, must be a superstar.

I am now in the E level, and if I want to continue to climb up, I really have a long way to go.

However, Li Liang is still full of confidence in himself, he believes in his willpower, and his persistent pursuit of victory.

Li Liang directly chose the promotion task of [Outside Basic Defense].

This must be a more comprehensive improvement of defense, first get your comprehensive ability, and then take your time in the special exercises.

After choosing, Li Liang entered the task:

[Mission: Containment of Durant's debut, time: October 31, 2007, location: Pepsi Center, Denver, USA, matchup: Seattle SuperSonics vs Denver Nuggets, mission requirements: against rookie Kevin Durant, let his score not exceed 15 points, task reward: basic defensive ability value +5, various outside defensive ability value +2, random ability multiplier, task difficulty: rookie]

Li Liang took a look, this rookie-level task is not too difficult, and there are not many points added, but there is a random ability value-increasing agent in the reward, can it directly increase the ability value?

That's a good thing.

Thinking of this, Li Liang was full of enthusiasm and decided to complete this task well and see what kind of ability value-added agent he could draw.

Entering the mission, the surroundings lit up.

It was a game from 2007, not far from 2012, and it was Kevin Durant's NBA debut.

Li Liang had an impression of this game, when he was still in high school in China, and knew that the rookies in 2007 were Oden and Durant.

At that time, Oden was blown to the sky, punched Russell, kicked the big shark, and was a high-profile version of Tim Duncan.

So, the Trail Blazers selected the former from Oden and Durant based on the principle of having an inside line to choose the inside line.

As a result, Oden was injured one after another, and finally completely abolished.

And Durant gradually grew up and became a super scorer in the league.

By 2012, Durant had been named the NBA scoring champion for two consecutive seasons and continued to lead the scoring charts this season.

After missing Jordan in 1984, the Portland Trail Blazers missed an outside superstar and chose an injury-ridden interior player.

They fell in the same place, got up, and fell again.

What Li Liang has to face today is the fledgling, 19-year-old future scoring champion.

At this time, Li Liang was standing on the floor of the Pepsi Center wearing a white Denver Nuggets jersey.

Li Liang watched the live broadcast of this game in history, and secretly turned on the computer to watch it when he went home for dinner at noon.

He remembers very well that Durant scored 18 points in the game and did not shoot high.

It doesn't look like it's hard to keep him at 15 points, just one less three.

But Li Liang knows that this system will not necessarily follow the script.

He came on as a substitute for the Nuggets' small forward Yashuba Diawara, and if he didn't defend it well, he let Durant open it up, and maybe score more than 18 points.

Li Liang still knows something about the Nuggets team.

In the Birds and Beasts, head coach George Karl has always emphasized offense and not practiced defense much in the Nuggets, so he can't count on his teammates and must go all out to defend himself.

As for the offense, Li Liang thought, anyway, he didn't say that he wanted to win, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't attack?

But it's not right to think about it, if the offense is unfavorable, will it be replaced by the coach?

Anyway, after a lot of thought, the game is about to begin.

Li Liang looked around, and they were all familiar faces.

In addition to him, the Nuggets started Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, and Marcus Camby, who jumped the ball in the center circle.

Li Liang's heart was a little excited, after all, the first two tasks, one was too long, and the other was a three-point competition.

Today's game task can be regarded as a real experience for Li Liang to experience the NBA arena.

Especially seeing star players like Iverson and Anthony as teammates.

Although it is known to be simulated, it is much more realistic than a computer game, and it is also possible to communicate with teammates.

On the opposite side, wearing the dark green jersey is the SuperSonics, a team that no longer exists.

Their center is Wilcox, power forward Collisson, small forward Demien Wilkins, point guard Earl Watson, and the protagonist of today's Li Liang, Kevin Durant.

Durant in 2007 was only 19 years old, he was originally thin, like a hemp pole, and his appearance was relatively obscene, with small eyes and a square face, standing on the floor of the Pepsi Center, like a child of more than 2 meters.

He is the same height as Li Liang, 6-foot-9, but his arms are scary-long and scary-thin.

6'9 height and estimated weight of only 200 pounds.

Li Liang doubted that he would fall apart directly if he was hit by Anthony or Martin.

Of course, Li Liang himself is not strong, his weight of 229 pounds is on the thin side in the NBA, as for whether he can deal with rookie Durant, Li Liang has no bottom for the time being, in short, the mule is right away.

The game got on, Camby won the ball, and the Nuggets took the lead.

Li Liang has never practiced with the Nuggets, let alone played with Iverson and Anthony.

But he knows that his role on the field is blue-collar, anyway, just run to the flank and stay, there are two big guys with golden guns in front, and he is not needed.

Li Liang's idea was not wrong, as soon as Iverson got the ball past half court, Li Liang went straight to the bottom left corner.

It's a position he likes very much, and in three-point drills, the bottom left corner is his most accurate point.

Iverson controlled the ball, the supersonic side basically had no defensive intensity at the beginning, five people were standing on the court and showing a scattered distribution, Iverson held the ball and shuttled at will, tearing apart the supersonic defense line in three or two clicks, and the ball was given to Kenyon Martin who slipped to the bottom line, Martin turned over and hit two points with a stiff small throw.

The Nuggets scored the first shot.

Li Liang knew that the supersonic didn't want to win at all this season, they just used it to practice Durant, and by the way, they put on a high show.

For Durant, the supersonic let go of the previous twin stars Ray Allen and Lewis, which can be said to be unbreakable and unbreakable.

Switching offense and defense, Li Liang knew that his job was coming.

He didn't say a word, he first posted it as respect, regardless of whether he had the ball or not, he leaned on Durant first.

Durant glanced at Li Liang, as if he didn't understand why this guy was staring so closely at the beginning.

In the first two rounds, Durant didn't catch the ball, while the Nuggets and the SuperSonics played back and forth.

Anyway, both sides are not defending, and they are pushing forward with all their might to play a quick counterattack, but in the first game of the season, their hands are tight, and the shooting rate is not high.

Li Liang followed for two rounds and found that it was unrealistic to want to follow Durant all the time.

His speed is not fast enough, and his defensive skills are not enough, and Durant's ability to get rid of it is very strong, don't look tall, and his body is unusually sensitive.

Li Liang's attention was highly focused, but he was still pulled away by Durant's random run.

"That's the talent gap......"

Li Liang and rookie Durant faced each other for two minutes, and they felt the difference in talent.

If someone lifts weights lightly, he is mentally calculated and tired enough.

Another Nuggets offense failed, supersonic counterattack, Durant suddenly stepped out of his long legs and accelerated to get rid of Li Liang, and then received the ball and rushed straight to the basket!

In the face of Kenyon Martin, Durant made a stride layup, and Martin couldn't make up for it and could only foul.

With a slight push, Martin pushed Durant out of the baseline and threw him on his heels.

This kid's strength and weight are really not good, but these can be practiced.

The ability he just got rid of speed and dribbled directly after receiving the ball is something that ordinary players can't practice.

Durant stepped to the free-throw line and hit one of two free throws to score his first point in the NBA.

And Li Liang stood aside, and Martin came over and said, "People who are optimistic about you, don't lose it." ”

Li Liang nodded, thinking in his heart how to deal with Durant.
