When Li Liang entered the system mission again, he was already on the bus to McClaude High School.

There are 16 coaches in the team, plus a school doctor and a teacher, a total of 18 people.

The gymnasium at McClaude High School looks like a library, and inside the gymnasium, there is already a sea of orange.

In the arena, there are also two championship flags, 1980 and 1976, who were last year's state champions.

It's a strong team.

So before the game, Bellman told the players to play hard and go all out, on the one hand, let everyone not have psychological pressure, and it doesn't matter if they lose.

Li Liang's ears were closed, automatically blocking Bellman's chatter.

This coach is too talkative, and he doesn't care about the game.

The basketball level of high school students in the 1980s, Li Liang still doesn't look at it.

And he found that Gan Guoyang's talent is really good.

With a little practice and experience, at least on the defensive end, you will be invincible.

Anyway, when he usually trains, Li Liang uses a little dim sum, which can basically make the opponent not score points.

Bellman was also very surprised, this yellow-skinned kid was really full of magical energy.

He wants to see tonight what kind of change this guy can bring to the team.

Before Ganlai, Palo Alto High School was a third-rate basketball school.

And the opponent is the state champion, which is very strong.

But with Gan, Bellman thinks they might be able to do a big job this year.

In the first half of the game, Li Liang sat on the bench to watch and observe.

Palo Alto's strength is indeed inferior to the opponent, but at the end of the first half, Palo Alto was only 7 points behind at 29:36.

The key reason is that Bellman keeps the team's point guards firmly in control of the tempo on the court.

Although the score was behind, Palo Alto dragged the pace of the game very slowly, preventing McClaw's famous fast offense from playing.

In this way, Li Liang was given room to play in the second half.

If he falls behind by 15 points or 20 points at halftime, to be honest, Li Liang has no confidence to come back.

It's not enough.

And 7 points, in the second half, Li Liang was completely okay.

As a result, after the start of the second half of the game, Li Liang appeared as the starting center.

As soon as he came on the court, the McClaude High School students and fans at the scene were a little surprised.

I thought it was a cold bench, who knew that I could start in the second half.

Li Liang has seen a lot of this situation.

When Li Liang was in Kentucky, many people doubted whether he could play.

Li Liang used his strength to prove that he couldn't.

Therefore, the ridicule and ridicule he endured were really not a lot at all.

How majestic Li Liang is now, how humble he is in Kentucky for four years.

Not to mention the United States in the 1980s, the Chinese should still have braids in the hearts of most Europeans and Americans.

But after Li Liang appeared as a center forward, the situation on the field immediately became different.

He was in the center position, and with his strength, defensive awareness and experience, McClaude couldn't score in high school.

It was 1980, the NBA had just introduced the three-point line, and there was no three-point line in high school and college basketball.

Baskets and close-range two-point scoring are the most important means of scoring.

There was no defense for three seconds in the game, and a good defensive center had a huge impact on the situation.

McCrowder High School began to fall into a scoring drought, and their offensive efficiency was greatly reduced.

In the attack, Li Liang's skills are still not much, and he will eat cakes under the basket, but this is enough.

After five minutes of the second half, the Palo Alto Vikings equalized the score.

The McClaude Warriors called a timeout, but it didn't work.

At the level of the Warriors' high school students, with Li Liang's rich defensive experience, it is really crushing to break their offense.

Moreover, Li Liang's transfer of the ball in the offense is also top-notch, excellent ball distribution, a pass with a broad vision, good psychological quality, excellent trash talk, and a real dimensionality reduction strike.

At 72:60, the Vikings finally completed a beautiful comeback in the second half and completely destroyed McClaw's high school offensive confidence.

The Vikings were very excited to win the game.

Li Liang looked bland, just a high school game.

But after the game, the plot doesn't end there.

The big guys were ready to leave, but the announcer's voice was remembered in the loudspeaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we had a special guest arrive here to watch the game. Now he has a few words for all of you and the players here. ”

"Now, I would like to invite our special guest, the legend in the history of McCrow High School, the legend in the history of the NBA, Bill? Russell!!! ”

With the announcer's voice, the entire arena boiled.

Bill? Russell, the greatest player in the NBA at the time, had 11 championship rings and is a legend in NBA history and even in the history of American professional sports.

And he graduated from McClaude High School.

The players on both sides were also a little excited at once, and before Michael Jordan, Russell was the god of basketball.

Then a tall, middle-aged man stepped down from the stands, followed by a white old man, it was Russell's high school coach, George Pols.

Russell walked down and shook hands with the players.

Of course, Li Liang knows Russell, and I'll see you every June.

"Hello, what's your name? Your performance today is really good, and it is a big shame for my alma mater. Russell asked as he shook hands with Li Liang.

Li Liang looked at Russell and thought to himself that this black man really didn't look old.

Russell, who is in his 70s, looks similar to him who is now middle-aged, but he has more gray hair.

"My name is Gan and I'm from China." Li Liang was calm and relaxed, without the nervousness of his teammates at all.

"Gan, interesting name, you're doing well." Russell complimented again.

Because today's performance of Li Liang reminded Russell of his former self.

When he was with the Celtics, Auerbach often barred Russell from confrontation practice during training.

Because once he joins the confrontation, the training cannot be carried out, and the opponent cannot score at all.

After Li Liang appeared in the second half, the effect was the same.

So, Russell was particularly impressed with him.

"Mr. Russell, don't go yet, can I ask you a question?" Li Liang held Russell's hand, and suddenly thought of something, he had a question to ask.

"Yes, you can say it." Russell nodded in agreement.

"I want to ask, how do you manage to be a good coach at the same time as you play?"

Russell thought that Li Liang would ask some defensive question, but he didn't know that he asked such a strange question.

"Oh, this... I can't say it in a sentence or two, but I can tell you one thing, if you're a part-time coach of a player, then as a coach, you have to coach yourself first. ”

When Li Liangmeng heard this, he felt that this was the same as not saying it.

But when you taste it carefully, it seems to have a little taste.

It's a real science to be a coach.
