Chapter 800: Back to the pot

After spending Christmas Eve in Los Angeles with friends, Li Liang flew back to Russia alone.

The annoyance of flying alone is that you will be recognized by some people along the way.

Of course, NBA players are not as well-known in the United States as many people think.

Many people who like the NBA will definitely feel that some stars like this should be known to everyone in society.

But in reality, most people don't watch the NBA, and their knowledge of basketball stars is limited.

Unless you're a superstar player who makes headlines all day long, or who gets widely reported on some major social event, there is no special treatment for ordinary stars walking the streets.

For example, if you only care about the NBA and don't watch the NFL, then your knowledge of the NFL may be limited to Tom Brady, and you don't know what Brady looks like, only that he is white.

After all, NFL players are even more recognizable than NBA players, and they wear helmets when they play.

This situation does not hold true for Li Liang, as a Chinese player who has won three consecutive championships in a single person, his popularity is very, very high.

He has been featured in Time magazine, has been widely reported by the media, and his huge portrait has appeared on many occasions.

It is known as the most well-known Asian face in the United States, and its popularity is quite high.

So when he went back this time, Li Liang had to ask someone from the security company to escort him to prevent any accidents on the way.

This is also what Zhu Shu requested and arranged.

She told Li Liang that she couldn't always be alone in the future.

As his fame grows and his accomplishments grow, so does the risk.

Especially in the United States, where racial contradictions are acute, there is no neurotic who feels that the Chinese should not win so many championship trophies, so they find an opportunity to destroy Li Liang with one shot.

Li Liang felt that what Zhu Shu said made sense, so he chose four capable bodyguards to accompany him on his trip, and often accompanied him.

In this way, after Li Liang returned to Russia, he didn't have to be alone all the time, but had four big men and an old mother to accompany him!

Li Liang suddenly felt that all this was Zhu Shu's conspiracy.

Does she really care about her own safety?

Among the four bodyguards, the leader is a fat black man named Jensen.

He is quite reliable and has been a bodyguard for many years, and Li Liang is very satisfied with him.

After returning to Russia, Li Liang threw himself into this year's Christmas war.

And this Christmas battle is destined to be a top-level battle in which Mars hits the Earth - the Oklahoma City Thunder, against the Golden State Warriors.

The two superteams so far this season are finally meeting on Christmas Day.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Liang immediately went to the energy center by car.

Christmas games are scheduled in the afternoon, so that the players and fans can spend the evening with their families.

Many fans at the Energy Centre arrived early to await the high-profile season finale.

So far this season, the Warriors sit first in the league with a 27-1 record and just one loss.

In second place is the Thunder, who have a 27-2 record after winning against the Lakers, losing only two games.

The record and fighting power of both teams are so amazing.

Everyone understands that these two teams are deserving super teams.

The Warriors unfortunately lost the finals last season and were defeated by Li Liang's invincible performance.

In the summer, their strength expanded even further, complementing Batum to add depth up front.

In the regular season, Curry played an amazing performance, ranking first in the scoring list and first in the three-point list, and the Warriors' passing and cutting cooperation was unbeatable, and most teams surrendered in the third quarter.

For the Warriors, a championship is their only goal this season.

And there was only one person in front of them, and that was Bruce Lee.

In the summer, when Steve Cole learned that Li Liang had defected to Russia, he directly exploded into foul language.

Li Liang's goods are too much, this is not a way for other teams to live.

But Li Liang's behavior of going to Russia City also greatly stimulated the momentum of the whole Warriors to win.

Since the first game of the season, the Warriors have made the Thunder and Li Liang imaginary opponents and targets to be defeated.

Before each game, Steve Kerr will talk about Li Liang's data from the last game and show it to the whole team, especially Curry, hoping that Curry can perform better than Li Liang.

Anyone who has ever run a long distance knows that when there is a person in front of you who is leading, the person behind will run more easily and naturally.

And if there is no one in front of you, you are the leader, but you will not be able to control the speed and rhythm.

So in many long-distance races, there will be a leader in the first half of the race, and the others will run.

Li Liang is now the frontrunner of this alliance, and everyone else is staring at Li Liang's ass and chasing after him.

Of course, many people don't know that Li Liang was running in front of him, and he was already thinking about how to fly.

The Warriors are very well prepared for this game, and it can be said that as soon as the schedule comes out, the Warriors players are already thinking about how to fight the Thunder in the Christmas game.

And the Thunder here...... Li Liang hurried to the arena, it was already more than one o'clock, and the game would start in more than an hour.

There was no time to warm up, too late to adjust the state, Li Liang had to devote himself to the game.

His level of play is definitely going to be affected.

At half past two in the afternoon, the game between the two sides officially began.

It was broadcast live in the United States, and major TV stations paid attention to it, and thousands of viewers paid attention.

After the appearance ceremony, Li Liang returned to the bench and sat down.

Mike Brown looked at Li Liang and said, "Hey boy, you don't have a very good face, what did you do last night?" ”

Brown thought Li Liang was spending a lot of time in Los Angeles.

"I didn't do anything, I ate too much last night!"

Indeed, Li Liang ate two hams last night, which were authentic Iberian hams, black-hoofed pigs fed with oak nuts, cut into thin slices.

Li Liang actually ate two sticks by himself, you know how much this guy can eat.

The result of eating too much is, of course, an upset stomach, after all, not fresh food.

Therefore, the game began on the field, and Li Liang still felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

If you eat too much protein, you will be prone to stinky farts.

Li Liang really couldn't hold back, and a special smell accidentally filled the bench - it seemed that there was a little bit of oak fruit fragrance?

In order to cover up his fart, Li Liang preemptively pointed at Brown and said, "Mike, did you fart?" ”

Mike Brown is aggrieved, when did Lao Tzu fart?

But he didn't dare to deny it, and finally nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I ate too much... Eat too much. ”

Brown and his colleagues and players apologized and took the blame on themselves.

There is no way, taking the blame for Li Liang is also one of his main responsibilities.

At the same time, the Warriors and Thunder have already begun a battle of the dragons.

The Thunder's starters are the same as before, with Adams, Collisson, Durant, Westbrook plus Robertson.

The Warriors' starters were Curry, Thompson, Green, Harris Barnes and Bogut.

The Thunder wear a white home jersey, while the Warriors wear a dark gray long-sleeved away jersey.

Jumping ball, Adams took the lead to win the ball.

Just ten seconds into the game, the referee blew Harris Barnes for a defensive foul.

When he was defending Durant, he had a handcheck movement and touched Durant's waist with his hand.

Blowing the foul so early poured a little cold water on the huge passion of the players on both sides.

The referee seemed to be reminding the players on both sides, "Don't worry, the game is still long, let's play slowly." ”
