Chapter 819: Entertainment and War
When Li Liang received the All-Star MVP trophy from Xiao Hua's hand, he could see that the expression on Xiao Hua's face was refusal.
Xiao Hua was thinking in his heart, why did you let this kid win the MVP again, you took one of them, why do you want to take it again?
What's there to win about this All-Star Game MVP? Are you bad for Kobe?
Li Liang looked at Xiao Hua's bitter gourd face, and thought in his heart, do you think I want to take it, this kind of flashy award has no bonus to the historical status at all.
I want to give Kobe, you see Westbrook and Kobe Bryant, if I don't work harder, the Western team will lose!
The two didn't say a word, and they had already fought three hundred rounds with their minds.
Now Xiao Hua has no way to take Li Liang.
This guy who repeatedly jumps sideways has messed up the balance of the alliance.
This season, except for the games of popular teams such as the Thunder, Warriors, and Lakers, the ratings and exposure of other teams' games are declining.
This shows that there is already a disparity in strength within the alliance.
The strong teams are especially strong, and the weak teams have no hope at all.
In the last decade, basically every team had one or two stars with heads and faces and a bit of box office appeal.
Now the stars are all popular huddles, and the weak team is often pulling the general.
Li Liang's guy has obviously intensified the trend of huddles.
You said that as a superstar player, if you can't win the championship and go to the group, it is understandable.
The championships of the past three years have been won by you, and you are still holding together, what are you trying to do? Do you have to kill the NBA?
It can only be said that Xiao Hua and a group of managers in the NBA do not understand the heart of a player from a socialist country to alleviate poverty.
The team is weak.
The 2016 All-Star Game came to an end with the enthusiastic support of the Canadians in this way.
This is an all-star game of unity, progress, truth-seeking, and innovation.
Players from all over the league are closely united around the new generation of league leaders with Li Liang as MVP, holding high the O'Brien Cup, adhering to Stern's global line, thoroughly implementing and learning the three-point shooting tactics of the new era, and striving to achieve the NBA to the top of the American professional league.
In the All-Star Game, LaVine, Curry, Gordon, Towns and other comrades carried forward the entertainment spirit and professionalism of the stars, and our fans gave wonderful basketball performances, which won unanimous praise and enthusiastic appeals from the majority of fans.
This All-Star Game also united a large number of people in the literary and artistic circles such as Wu Yifan, realized a united front, and expanded the influence of the NBA among people of all walks of life and nationalities.
Li Liang was interviewed after the All-Star Game award ceremony, pointing out that the NBA league is a commercial sports league with stars as the backbone, ordinary players as the basis, and fans and friends as their parents, and fans are everything in the league. We must always adhere to the position of the fans, adhere to the main position of the fans, and take the fans' support or disapproval, approval or disapproval, happiness or displeasure, and promise or disapproval as the fundamental criteria for measuring the gains and losses of all work, and strive to improve the fans' viewing experience.
"I don't think the NBA is competitive enough right now, and we need more strong teams!"
Li Liang finally added, this product is also ashamed, if you don't come to the thunder, will the alliance be like it is now?
After the All-Star break, the players still have time to rest for two days.
Li Liang finally made time, entered the system, and continued his mission of barbecue in Da Net.
To be honest, he had been eating barbecue for several days in a row, and he was a little tired.
After entering the system at night, Li Liang came to the basketball hoop in the backyard of the Big Nate Barbecue Restaurant.
Since Li Liang came to this mission, he has not used a standard basketball hoop properly.
This basketball hoop is a bit shabby, there is not even a basketball net, there is only an iron hoop left.
As soon as Li Liang arrived at the court, the back door of the barbecue restaurant opened, and Nate Thurmond walked out.
As soon as he saw Thurmond, Li Liang tightened his chrysanthemum, damn, he hasn't beaten Thurmond with his back recently.
The gap between the two in height, size, and strength is still too big.
Originally, the rich theoretical knowledge could make up for it, but unfortunately, the back technique was precisely the blind spot of Li Liang's knowledge.
He learned a little bit of slot from Tom Heinsohn and didn't know anything about the back.
And Thurmond, as a player in the 60s and 70s of the last century, has to attack and defend with his back, just like the three-point shot now, from the center to the point guard.
Every day, eating barbecue, and then being honed by Thurmond on the small court, Li Liang didn't know what he was doing.
To be honest, this kind of little bit of training, without the addition of system ability points, has a very small impact on reality.
Li Liang learned a few tricks, used them in reality, and found that it was not easy to use at all.
Because it's not an intensity at all.
Therefore, today Li Liang wants to play some new tricks.
"Nate! Today, we won't practice back, how about I teach you how to shoot three-pointers? Li Liang said.
Thurmond smiled and shook his head, "I didn't have a three-point shot when I played, and I was a center for a three-point shot. ”
"You don't understand this, now that the NBA has a three-point line, you can score three points with one shot, and in the future, you will have to shoot three-pointers from guards to centers. A center who can't shoot threes is not a good center. ”
Thurmond still shook his head, he really didn't understand, but he said, "Maybe, but in this era, the back is still king." A lot of street courts don't have a three-point line. There are also high schools, and so are universities. What school are you in, Gan? ”
That's right, in 1981, the NBA had just introduced the three-point line for a season, and there really wasn't a three-point line on the streets, and the same was true for college and high school. The NCAA didn't introduce three-point shooting into the game until 1986.
Li Liang thought to himself, in this task, it is estimated that he will have to go to high school and college.
"Uh... I didn't go to school, and I don't know which school would be so lucky to get me. Li Liang replied.
This made Thurmond laugh, and he also found out in his recent training that this guy has a lot of ideas in his head, and he has a lot of theoretical experience, but unfortunately his brain is enough, and his skills and physical fitness can't keep up, so he needs to hone it well.
"Okay, let's play a little longer, it's fun to play with you." Thurmond stepped forward and grabbed the basketball with his big hand, walked under the basket, jumped slightly, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
He is 2.11 meters tall and has a pair of superhuman long arms, and he can reach the basket with a slight jump.
He threw the ball back to Li Liang and suddenly said seriously: "Gan, one thing you must remember is that the real basketball game is a war, and the inside line is the most fierce place in this war. A center forward has to fight like a warrior every moment on the court, either you die or I die. If you don't have the determination to fight your opponent for three hours, then no matter how good your skills are, how good your positioning and back, you are not a good interior lineman, you are not a real center. Do you understand? ”
Hearing Thurmond's words, Li Liang nodded very seriously.
He thinks that this may be one of the reasons why the current NBA is slowly not as attractive as it used to be.
War and entertainment, men still prefer the former more.
