Chapter Twenty-Eight: This task seems to be overstepping
Six days later, at David Alexander's own gym in Miami, Li Liang finished his day's training.
The training time is not too long, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, a total of four hours.
The training intensity was quite high, and on the third day, Li Liang felt that his body had eased up a little.
Li Liang trained very hard in the Kentucky Wildcats, but when he first came into contact with NBA-level physical training, it was normal for him to be unbearable.
After all, in college basketball, there are limits to the amount of strength and conditioning you can do.
Many NCAA stars have just entered the NBA, and the most important thing to improve is strength and weight.
Li Liang, who was sweating after training, drank a glass of fruit and vegetable juice and ate two bananas to replenish it.
Seeing that Li Liang was a little tired, Alexander said, "My training intensity is already relatively small, compared to Grover's. If you train with me all the time, you can play until you're 40. β
Alexander is known about Grover Lean, a famous NBA trainer who became famous in the 90s and is known for his special training of Jordan.
Now, like the Heat's Wade, is also his client.
Alexander, as a new trainer, has a different training style from an old-school like Grover.
The latter pays more attention to the stimulation and qualitative improvement of players' potential, so the training load is relatively large.
The former focuses on the balance of explosiveness and durability of physical fitness, which is conducive to prolonging the career of athletes.
Of course, for the current Li Liang, there is not much difference between the two, and it is only necessary to distinguish them when they reach a certain realm.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Li Liang told Alexander that he would return to Kentucky tomorrow for the graduation ceremony.
After the ceremony, he returned to Miami to continue training.
Alexander said the training room here is open for him at all times, and the two have now established an initial partnership.
Of course, Li Liang's training expenses are abundant enough to be the basis of the partnership.
After cleaning up, Li Liang went back to the hotel alone.
When he arrived at the hotel, he asked the room service to arrange a hearty dinner, and he wanted to replenish enough protein and minerals to promote the recovery and growth of muscle cells.
After a good meal, it was still early, but Li Liang was already ready to go to bed and rest.
There are countless venues and programs for men to entertain at night in Miami, but Li Liang is unmoved.
After all, playing with anything is not as fun as fiddling with one's body.
Entering the [Almighty King] system again, Li Liang first checked his [Physical Fitness] dimension.
Overall upper limb strength (36) increased by 1 point, and shoulder arm strength (31) increased by 3 points (1 point from the adder).
The strength of the back (32), the strength of pushing/gripping/pulling/action (38), the tension of the waist and abdomen (46), and the strength of the legs and hips (46) all increased a little.
Overall lower limb strength (53) and endurance (73) increased by two points.
In contrast to the previous ones, the progress in the numbers has been very limited, with most of them only advancing by 1 point and a few by 2 points.
Like speed, explosiveness, bounce, and bounce speed, which are particularly dependent on talent, they are even more motionless like Wang Ba.
Come to think of it, it's impossible to make a big difference in a week's time.
For the tempering of the body, it has always been accumulated over time, and it can only be fruitful to go to the gym for many years.
can get a little improvement, Li Liang is already very satisfied.
The improvement of physical fitness becomes more and more difficult the further you go.
When it reaches a certain ceiling, it can only be maintained at most, and it cannot go further.
Li Liang expressed satisfaction with such a result.
He exited the view, then took a deep breath and prepared to enter the mission.
In the past few days, Li Liang has continued to improve his defensive ability according to the plan.
After completing Odom's mission, he thought about improving his basic defense from the outside to 60 points.
As a result, the new task of basic defense on the outside has tormented him for a week, and it has not been completed until now.
[Welcome to the All-Around King Training Ground again, Visitor: Bruce Lee]
γWhether to continue the missionγ
Li Liang chose yes and entered the task.
The surroundings lit up, and this time he came to not a certain arena, but a training hall that practiced [Core Stability] before.
A player in a red jersey stood in the middle of the field waiting for him.
[Mission: Facing the challenge of rookie Jordan, task requirements: Successfully defend Jordan three times in a row in one-on-one heads-up, task reward: basic defense value +10 on the outside, +5 on the outside defense ability value, a random value-added agent, a random consumable item, task difficulty: normal]
The man in the red jersey is none other than Michael Jordan, and it was Jordan who had just entered the league in 1985.
Seeing Jordan, and then seeing that the difficulty of this task is ordinary, Li Liang wants to say that the difficulty value of the system must be wrong!
Successfully defending Jordan three times in a row, even if it is a rookie Jordan, it is extremely difficult.
Not to mention that Jordan has been able to average 28 points per game in the NBA during his rookie years, and many NBA All-Star players cannot reach this number at their peak.
Besides, Jordan's competitiveness failed to score twice in a row, and the third time he just had to get the ball into that damn basket.
This is where the difficulty of this mission is the highest, "three times in a row".
If Jordan rushes in, Li Liang will either foul or have no way at all.
Moreover, although this is a rookie Jordan, he was also 21 years old at that time, and he was quite mature in all aspects.
It's not exactly like a child when you play Durant, and you can't call teammates for help like you can when you play Odom.
He can only carry it alone!
In the past few days, Li Liang was abused in the gym during the day, and was abused here in Jordan when he entered the system at night.
Li Liang is going to feel that he has masochistic tendencies.
Of course, playing against a basketball god like Jordan is still very rewarding.
At the very least, self-confidence has gained a lot.
Jordan in the system is quite intelligent, chatting with Li Liang, talking trash talk, and sometimes giving some guidance.
After being abused for several days, Li Liang slowly summed up a little experience.
First of all, rookie Jordan's first step was a very fast start.
It is definitely the fastest Li Liang has ever seen, and if you don't pay attention to sticking too tightly, you will definitely be overcome.
So, be sure to keep a safe distance, roughly what it looks like with your hand out and your fingertips to be able to touch the tip of Jordan's nose.
Second, rookie Jordan's mid-range shooting is not very consistent.
But he has a strong ability to stay in the air, excellent jumping, and most of the jump shots of about 10 feet are already very close to the basket, and Li Liang is difficult to block.
Thirdly, Jordan was excellent with the dribble.
Li Liang had almost no way to make Jordan fall into a dead ball state, let alone break the ball.
There were a few times when Li Liang had to use gambling tactics to steal, but the result was that Jordan was clean and directly dunked and bombed the basket.
Later, Li Liangdu wanted to give up a little, this task was too difficult, right?
The point is that there is little hope of completion.
Jordan saw Li Liang and said, "Here comes the kid, let's start?" β
Li Liang said: "No! I don't want to start, I can't beat it! β
Jordan spread his hands and said, "You have to complete the task and improve yourself, and you can't retreat easily." β
Li Liang said: "Then can you release the water?" β
Jordan shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to do my best." β
The tactics of begging for mercy didn't work, Li Liang could only bite the bullet and be tortured by Jordan one-on-one.
The two fought for more than thirty rounds, and in the face of Jordan's strong physical fitness and skills, Li Liang really had no choice.
He only defended it twice, once with a layup and once with Jordan missed a jumper.
Before the change, Li Liang chose to give up and leave the system.
Because I had to work out the next day, the one-on-one time was too long, and the energy was very draining.
Li Liang didn't leave today, anyway, tomorrow afternoon's plane, he can sleep well during the day.
He decided to fight Jordan to the end!
After more than 50 rounds, Li Liang slowly found that he seemed to have a little chance.
Because he found that Jordan's physical strength was declining.
One-on-one is very physically draining, especially on the attacking side.
By the 100th round, Li Liang felt like his tired feet were filled with lead.
But the attacking Jordan must be more tired! Grit your teeth and hold on!
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Liang was constantly ravaged by rookie Jordan.
The gap between the two is still too big, but Li Liang is insisting.
It's your 200th round! During this time, Jordan's offensive success rate began to decrease.
However, Li Liang still failed to defend Jordan's offense three times in a row.
Li Liang sweated a lot, although this is virtual in the system, but the prostration caused by sweating is very real.
I guess it's already early in the morning, and if I don't sleep again, I might have to sleep for a day tomorrow.
But it's all at this time, and Li Liang doesn't want to give up.
Another two hours passed, and it was 300 rounds!
Li Liang couldn't hold it anymore, but Jordan on the other side was panting like a cow.
played more than 300 balls in a row, and Jordan couldn't hold it even if he was iron.
His pace began to slow down and his shooting consistency slipped.
Finally, after Li Liang successfully completed a defense, Jordan missed a jumper from the outside.
Twice in a row!
Li Liang has done it before, but the third time Jordan will inevitably get a dunk, Li Liang has no choice.
This time was a little different, Li Liang could see that Jordan was really tired.
As soon as a player starts to get tired, the power of the breakthrough decreases, and more of them will solve the problem with jump shots.
But fatigue can also affect the feel.
Li Liang looked at Jordan, pulled away a little, increased the difficulty of his breakthrough, and then bet that he didn't feel good.
Jordan lowered his head to dribble, he gasped for breath, and Li Liang was engrossed and didn't dare to slack off.
This is his chance, and he's going to take it.
Jordan didn't shoot directly, he still dribbled and accelerated to break through from the right side!
His center of gravity was pressed very low, and his body was arched like a cat, trying to pass through Li Liang's side!
"Oops, can't catch up with ......"
Li Liang's conscience was cold, Jordan was still very fast this time, Li Liang was already overtired, and his reaction couldn't keep up at all.
Just when Li Liang felt that it was over, Jordan slipped and fell directly to the ground.
The ball is out of your hands!
[Jordan's offensive failures: 3]
The system prompts that Jordan misses three times in a row!
It turned out that because the two had been fighting for too long, there was a lot of sweat on the training ground.
This system is indeed too real, Jordan was slipped by the sweat dripping from Li Liang.
After three consecutive failed attacks, Li Liang completed this task!
When Li Liang saw this lucky result, he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, not wanting to move.
Jordan got up from the ground, sighed and shook his head.
[+10 rage, Michael Jordan from 1985], obviously he was a little angry about losing.
Relying on Jordan's high weighted anger value, Li Liang's exchange points are almost 1000.
Li Liang reluctantly got up from the ground and shook hands with rookie Jordan.
Jordan said: "Congratulations, you have completed the task, and perseverance is sometimes important. β
Li Liang said: "Thank you, it's my luck." β
Jordan shook his head and said, "It's all your sweat, it's not all luck." β
Jordan was a pun intended.
After saying that, both the training ground and Jordan slowly disappeared: [Congratulations on completing the task of 'Facing the Challenge of Rookie Jordan', +10 (60) for basic defense on the outside, +5 (48) for lateral movement, +5 (46) for sticking/following defense, +5 (30) for stealing, +5 (56) for defensive positioning and anticipation. Prizes: Defensive Positioning and Prediction Ability Multiplier, Consumable Steal Success Rate Sticker (b). γ
The rewards this time are still relatively generous, but there are no surprises.
Li Liang was already too tired to do anything, and was about to withdraw from the system to sleep.
His mind moved, but he found that there was no way to go back to the main interface.
"Damn, what the is going on?"
