Bai Xiaoting's unintentional words reminded Li Liang.

According to the plan, the Kentucky team will travel to Washington on May 20 to meet with the President of the United States at the White House as NCAA champions.

Li Liang was still worried, because the meeting was in time with the New Jersey training camp, so he could only take the plane in the early morning of the 20th to rush to Washington.

Well, now that he has left the training camp and has gained a day to spare, he can fly to the capital early.

Thinking of this, Li Liang couldn't stay in New York for long, so he arranged things.

Let Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu prepare to go to Los Angeles tomorrow, and remind Zhu Shu to answer Ryan West's phone call and notify him in time if there is news.

Then, Li Liang refunded the ticket on the 20th and bought the ticket for tomorrow morning.

In this way, he can go to Washington on the afternoon of the 19th to meet the team, and on the morning of the 20th, he will go to the White House.

After arranging everything, Li Liang, who was relaxed physically and mentally, went to New York with the three of them, went to the Brooklyn Bridge, the mecca of movie shooting, went to Italian Street, where many gangster movies appeared, and had an Italian dinner.

In the evening, Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting returned to Long Island, and Bai Xiaoting told Li Liang that she would drive him to the airport tomorrow morning.

Li Liang felt a little embarrassed, although the two always quarreled, but the relationship was actually good.

In the past, Li Liang had a misunderstanding of Bai Xiaoting, and after more contact, he found that she was cold-faced and hot-hearted.

Not to mention anything else, many boys don't have her righteousness when it comes to caring for their friends.

Seeing that Li Liang wanted to say something, Bai Xiaoting interrupted: "Don't say anything numb, I'm disgusting." In New York, I still have to do my landlord's friendship, and if you really go to Los Angeles in the future, don't forget my friend. ”

Li Liang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! I'll remember you if you turn to ashes! ”

Bai Xiaoting took a sip of Li Liang, scolded him twice, and left with Zhu Shu.

At night, Li Liang and Wei Dazhi were lying on the bed, and Wei Dazhi, who had been excited for a day, just said "Li Liang, I'm so happy that I can't sleep", and the next second he called out.

Li Liang shook his head, he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep, entering the [Almighty King] system.

Li Liang has been training for more than a month, and the trial training in the morning has shown fruitful results.

If you change to someone else, you may have to go into various tasks to see, after all, there are still many technical tasks that Li Liang has not touched.

But Li Liang is different, he knows that he has not yet reached the time to be proud.

Defensive skills work well against the middle and upper echelons of the NCAA, but these people can't play in the NBA.

Going to the Lakers for a tryout is different, they will use NBA standards to examine Li Liang, and he has to perform better.

Li Liang once again entered the [Defensive Ability] dimension, and saw that under the [Outside Basic Defense], the four small technical indicators of [Lateral Movement], [Sticking Defense/Follow Defense], [Steal] and [Defensive Position and Prediction] all lit up.

It seems that because the basic defensive ability of the outside line has reached the 60 line, the tasks of small skills have been unlocked.

Four indicators, Li Liang's eyes are fixed on [lateral movement] and [follow-up/sticking].

[Steal] At present, he is not in a hurry, and Li Liang's score in [Defensive Positioning and Prediction] is okay.

Therefore, the objects he focuses on improving are still lateral movement and close follow-up defense.

These are also the points that Asian players are often criticized in the NBA.

Especially in [lateral movement], Asian players are limited by explosive power, and the lateral speed is always not enough.

Li Liang has improved the ability value of these techniques by a small amount through the task of basic defense on the outside.

In the training camp, Li Liang obviously felt that his lateral movement had become faster, and his reaction speed of his hands and feet had improved a lot.

After weighing it, Li Liang decided to improve [lateral movement].

This ability can't help but be beneficial to the outside defense, and the inside defense and supplementary defense are equally important.

It ranks first among various indicators of defensive ability, which certainly makes sense.

Li Liang took a deep breath, his mind moved, and entered the training space of [Lateral Movement].

The surroundings gradually brightened, it was a training hall, and Li Liang felt very familiar.

It seems that there is no need to play the game, and nine times out of ten it is a one-on-one training camp.

In the center of the field, Li Liang saw a person.

If you look closely, it's Artest again!

Why are you always there?

As soon as he saw Artest, Li Liang's conscience was cold, and he felt bad.

The last time I trained [Core Stability], I was almost killed by Artest.

What does the system want to play this time?

As soon as I finished thinking about it, the task came out: [Mission: Catch up with Artest's impact, mission requirements: According to the position where Artest appeared, move to the right position in time, cause his offensive foul, and complete ten times. Rewards: +10 for lateral movement, +2 for defensive positioning and prediction, a random value-added agent, task difficulty: normal:]

In Li Liang's heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past.

Last time, I was to meet the impact of Artest, why did you have to catch up this time?

Cheap? Actively bumped?

Looking at the task requirements, Li Liang knew that he would not be hit half to death today, so he didn't want to complete the task.

However, when the mission began, Li Liang found that it was really not as simple as being hit.

This is much more difficult than the opportunistic [to meet the impact of Artest], and the focus is on the word "catching up".

At the beginning of the mission, Artest took the ball and stood at the free-throw line.

Artest said: "Next, I'm going to pop up somewhere, please be prepared and make a foul. ”

Li Liang didn't quite understand what Artest meant, and before Li Liang could ask, Artest disappeared.

Like Chris Paul, who suddenly disappeared from the field in the advertisement, Artest turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Li Liang is wondering, at 45 degrees on the left, Artest has appeared again!

Then he lunged towards the basket with the ball!

Li Liang reflexively strode sideways to defend, clinging to Artey, Artest squeezed Li Liang away, and missed the layup under the basket.

Li Liang defended the ball, but the system ruled that he failed.

Because the task required him to make Artest an offensive foul, he had to be hit by Artest.

No way, second ball.

Artest disappeared again, and when he reappeared, it was on the bottom right, rushing towards the basket.

Li Liang stepped again to block Artest's forward path, was hit by a solid knot, and then fell to the ground.

"Oops!"

Artest in the system is in the peak of the Pacers, and the jeep who once broke Jordan's ribs has a strong impact.

Of course, Li Liang was used to it, he got up from the ground with his chest covered, and found that he still failed.

[Defeat, block foul.] 】

Li Liang scolded secretly, as if he had failed to make a foul in the game, and he would have to be whistled when he fell to the ground, and he must have felt uncomfortable.

After trying a few more times, Li Liang's number of successes was still zero.

The difficulty of this mission is that we don't know when and where Artest will appear.

Therefore, Li Liang's attention should be highly concentrated, and once Artest appears, he must use the fastest speed to create obstacles in his forward path.

Li Liang must also use the "crab step" of lateral movement, if he runs over in a daze and hits the opponent from the side, it must be a blocking foul.

Only when you are facing the attacker, standing firmly on the outside of the reasonable collision zone with both feet, and then falling straight to the ground, can you consider a perfect offensive foul success.

This is a must-have skill for every defensive guru in the NBA.

It requires a lot of experience, quick lateral movements, and the courage to sacrifice oneself.

In a real-life five-on-five game, the opponent's sudden attack is like popping up out of thin air for the defender.

A defensive master who can make up for the offense and make fouls must have a strong lateral movement ability.

After several attempts in a row, Li Liang finally succeeded once.

At this time, he had already broken his ass into eight pieces on the ground, and this was only once.

You have to complete it 10 times in total, do you want to keep going?

Li Liang thought that he was going to fly to Washington tomorrow, and he couldn't be too tired in the system, and he would be finished if he overslept.

So he finished the mission first, got out of the system, and went back to sleep.

He has to think of a way to do the task, and he can't just do it brutely.

Li Liang is still a bit obsessive-compulsive, and if he doesn't complete a task and let him go to other tasks, it will make him extremely uncomfortable.

After waking up the next day, Li Liang was thinking about this problem while brushing his teeth.

How can you complete this unfortunate task?

It's Artest again, and it's going to be bumped again, this Sima system is really varied.

After breakfast, Bai Xiaoting's car went downstairs and called Li Liang to come down and take him to the airport.

Before going downstairs, Li Liang instructed Wei Dazhi to contact him after arriving in Los Angeles, and to take care of Zhu Shu.

"Please rest assured, the second brother is going to Los Angeles, and he will definitely protect his sister-in-law and sister-in-law if he rides alone for thousands of miles!" Wei Dazhi regarded himself as Guan Gong.

"You don't fart less, who is your sister-in-law?"

Wei Dazhi smiled: "Brother Gan Liliang, Liu Bei happened to be two ladies back then, look at you now..."

Li Liang said: "You don't come, it's a civilized society now, you can play two but you can't marry two, don't make trouble for me." ”

Wei Dazhi let Li Liang put a hundred hearts, and he has begun to fantasize in his heart about what it feels like to be a well-known reporter in the NBA.

When he got downstairs, Li Liang got into Bai Xiaoting's car.

Without saying anything all the way, Bai Xiaoting drove the car to New York International Airport.

When Zhu Shu or Wei Dazhi were not there, the two really didn't know what to say.

There is no topic to quarrel about, and there is nothing serious to talk about, so you can only be silent.

Before getting out of the car, Li Liang still took the initiative to say: "Hey, I'm serious, if you are unhappy in Manhattan in the future, you can consider contacting me." Believe me will break through the world. ”

Bai Xiaoting habitually wanted to sneer at each other, but this time she held back, because she felt the sincerity in Li Liang's words.

A joke will come true after being said a hundred times, and Li Liang's words don't sound like a joke.

Bai Xiaoting let out an "um" and nodded.

Li Liang grinned and said, "When you don't scold, you're still pretty good-looking." ”

"Fuck off! Good bye! ”

Bai Xiaoting closed the window and drove away.

Li Liang looked at the shadow of the departing car, and his mind had drifted to Los Angeles.
