Chapter Ninety-Four: Los Angeles Mouth

Of course, the speed of three-point shooting is not something that can be practiced casually.

Shooting is a skill that relies heavily on rhythm.

The posture of receiving the ball, the shooting posture, the completion of the action and the speed of the shot will all affect the shooting effect of a player.

The higher the shooting level, the more able the player is to maintain the rhythm of shooting in difficult situations.

On the contrary, if the shooting level is insufficient, the rhythm is easily disrupted.

Speeding up the shooting speed will make many people with average shooting skills drop their shooting percentage.

Li Liang's open three-point practice has reached a very high level.

But in Summer League, once he's guarded by close quarters, or interfered with while shooting, his shooting percentage drops.

With a tall and long-arm forward like Kawhi Leonard and quick footwork, it will be difficult for Li Liang to contain him with three points.

Leonard can help defend others while quickly moving over to interfere after Li Liang receives the ball.

So in the past two months, Li Liang has improved his [strong three-point] ability, and on the other hand, he has worked hard to complete Marshall's task.

Marshall's mission reward is very tempting: [Empty three-point ability reaches 80 or more, activate the skill system, and obtain skill: Ray Allen's zero-second shot. 】

In the middle of the 25 hexagonal rune slots in the achievement system, there is an extra skill medal in the five circular slots.

Li Liang checked the skill description of this [Zero Second Shot] in the system:

[Lei Allen's zero-second shot: Locking technique, which allows you to throw a critical blow within the limit time, level: Lv1, effect: a small increase in the speed of the shot.] 】

The purpose of this skill is to increase the speed of the shot while maintaining the hit rate!

Of course, because of the low level, the boosting effect is not obvious.

Li Liang came to the training hall today to test it, and if it weren't for someone who was very familiar with him, it would be difficult to see the change in shooting speed.

Only Wei Dazhi could see that Li Liang's shooting speed was a little faster, and at the same time, the hit rate was still very high.

The trainers who helped him pick up the ball and pass the ball couldn't help but praise: "Boy, your three-point shot is really good." ”

Li Liang smiled, 87's empty three-point ability value, plus a 1% improvement in hand, is already a very good shooter in the NBA.

None of the reporters who did not want to see Li Liang noticed that Li Liang threw 20 minutes and only missed 5 balls.

Their attention is on Jim Bass, Kupchak, but also Gasol, Kobe, Nash, and others.

In addition to makeup photos, promo film shoots, and media open days, the Lakers also have a promotional mission.

Today, TWC TV came to the Toyota Center for an interview, and they will be producing a show called "Behind the Scenes of the Lakers."

It is to start this season of the Lakers that seems to be about to set sail, and introduce the Lakers' weekly training and the lives of players and coaches off the court.

The reporter brought a stool and placed it on the side of the court, and interviewed Gasol, Ci Shiping, Jamison and others about their views on the new season.

In the VP's room, Nash, Bass Jr., Kupchak and Jenny Bass are talking and laughing at the camera, imagining their thoughts on next season.

Among them, Bas Jr. and Kupchak can be described as proud.

Take a look at the accares of the two, Nash, Howard, and Jamison, who signed on July 25.

Which is not famous? Which is not the former party is strong.

On paper, it's an unassailable line-up.

Howard guards the inside, Artest has a big lock on the outside, Gasol has an inside center, Nash has an outside engine, Kobe Bryant is a super finisher, and Jamison is the sixth man.

This is a fried chicken lineup that can only be formed in 2K and live games!

Jim Buss, who has always been paralyzed, rarely took off his cap in front of the camera, with a smile on his face.

Jerry Buss's health is deteriorating, and in this year of power transition, can he rebuild the Lakers' glory with such a lineup, and what could be a more perfect handover ceremony?

My sister, Jeanne Bass, stood a little cramped at her desk.

Little Bas was lying on the sofa with a big grin, for this sister who wanted to seize power, his brother Bas must be disdainful at this time.

Also in the office is Bill Sharman's assistant coach of the year, Bill Portka.

He's 85 years old and still cares about the Lakers and was invited to be a part of the documentary.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Li Liang, who was not invited for an interview.

Li Liang completed an aerobic warm-up and strength training at the gym.

When I came out, I saw that the interview was still going on.

"Nima just knows that bragging, and when the new season begins, you can't win the ball to see where your face goes!"

Li Liang did not have the slightest sense of honor as a Lakers player, and the arrogance of the Lakers management made him very unhappy.

Before the new season started, the Lakers began to think about making a documentary for themselves, and it was good to be confident.

But documentaries, the language and images in front of the camera, always reveal a sense of hypocrisy.

Everyone is saying good things, talking about it, and looking to the future.

No one expressed concern about the new season.

However, when the interview ended and the players came to the field to prepare for training, their attitude towards Li Liang was very friendly.

Nash, Gasol and Li Liang greeted each other, they are all very well-bred gentleman players.

Not to mention Morris and Nelson, in their hearts, Li Liang is still their captain.

Only Kobe Bryant seemed to have an opinion on Li Liang, and he practiced half-court defense with a black face, and no one paid attention to it.

TWC's documentary shoot came to an end and they left the Toyota Center.

This is the official start of the Lakers' collective training.

This was the first official NBA team training session that Li Liang attended.

The Lakers' training camp roster consists of 20 players, including those on contract and short-term contracts.

Like Johnson Odom, who was undrafted, and Nelson, who played summer league with Li Liang.

There were 18 players in attendance today, with Howard missing due to injury and Blake resting with a nail on his foot.

In the morning, the team practiced defense and shooting.

In the afternoon, the team began the main event, tactical training.

For every NBA team, before the season begins, the coaching staff has to define the team's tactical thinking for the season.

The line-up determines the team's floor, while tactical thinking can raise the team's ceiling and unleash the team's potential.

Before the start of the official training, Mike Brown gave a short speech, explaining that the Lakers in the new season will implement Princeton's tactical ideas, so that all players can share and team basketball.

Hearing Brown say this, Li Liang felt a little incredible.

The Lakers have five stars, and each of the five people on the court can become the core of the game, and you actually use civilian tactics Princeton?

Isn't this a cannon with a bayonet, and you can carry it when it's loaded?

Although the Princeton tactics have made a name for themselves in the 21st century due to the success of the Kings, in reality, no NBA team has won a championship entirely on this tactic.

As NBA tactics have advanced and evolved, no team has adopted a single tactical system.

Whatever is good and suitable, the coaches will use it.

What a triangle offense, Princeton, Hawks offense, V-shaped offense.

The coach will arrange and combine according to the lineup and the ability of the players.

A lineup like the Lakers, starting three Playmakers, with Princeton?

This is an internal skill, and if you don't practice the six-vein divine sword, you have to fight any size grappler.

After the Lakers traded for Nash in the summer, and Eddie Jordan joined the Lakers coaching staff, there have been rumors about playing Princeton tactics.

Later, Howard arrived in August, and it was rumored that Brown was going to abandon Princeton and return to normal tactics.

Now after training camp starts, Brown says he's going to play Princeton.

This has changed back and forth, and I don't know what the coaching staff really thinks.

Although he felt incredible in his heart, of course Li Liang didn't say anything.

Anyway, Brown is the head coach, what he says is what he says, and when the team doesn't play well, he will naturally take the blame.

Two hours of practice in the afternoon, what to run, high-level strategy, air cut, practice in full swing.

Li Liang has always behaved very well, and the coach did whatever he asked him to do, without turning on the hair dryer or taking the ball blind discriminator to test randomly.

Just like that, until the end of the training, the system began to behave like a demon.

[Mission, Big Mouth in Los Angeles 2, Mission Requirements: Criticize Mike Brown's tactical system, Mission Reward: Get random items.] 】

Li Liang scolded in his heart, he had a big mouth at the signing press conference last time, and this time he wanted to criticize the head coach's tactics in the team?

Li Liang still understands the truth that praise should be made public and criticism should be private.

He was a rookie who criticized the head coach in the team's first group training session?

It is equivalent to just entering Alibaba, pointing at Ma Yun and saying, "Your business idea is not good".

It's really deadly.

Of course, Mike Brown is not Jack Ma, and his tactics are indeed very slotted.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Liang still raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say at the end of the training.

The eyes of the whole team were focused on Li Liang, and Jim Bass and Kupchak were both chrysanthemums on the sidelines.

What does this kid want to do?

Mike Brown nodded at Li Liang and signaled that he would say whatever he wanted.

Li Liang coughed, didn't forget to turn on the hair dryer, and said, "Coach Brown, I don't think Princeton's tactics are suitable for us!" ”

As soon as Li Liang's words came out, it was tantamount to throwing a stone on the calm lake.

The other players looked at Li Liang with various eyes, and there was a lot of surprise in their eyes.

Fringe players like Johnson Odom, Nelson, Morris can't believe that this kid dared to outspoken criticism of the coach's tactics after the first tactical training.

And veterans like Nash, Gasol, and Jamison seem to be expressionless, muttering in their hearts what is the origin of this guy?

Kobe Bryant looked strange, he was the only one who didn't look at Li Liang, he didn't know what he was thinking.

As for Ci Shiping, that is, Ron Artest, he was excited.

This NBA's famous grumpy scammerin, who is over 30 years old, still does not change his true colors.

He was in the Lakers for a while at No. 37 and then at No. 15.

In the summer of 11, he also changed his name, Metta-World-Peace (charity-world-peace), and he was going to run for the Nobel Peace Prize.

It stands to reason that after Li Liang was selected by the Lakers, he should be Ci Shiping's substitute or even a small forward rival.

But Ci Shiping admires this Chinese kid very much, and may have seen his shadow in the outrageous remarks at the signing conference, and he felt that it was very appetizing.

After training together today, Ci Shiping unexpectedly found that Li Hao seemed to be very familiar with himself.

Where did he think that Li Liang was about to practice with himself for more than 100 hours in the system.

Resist Artest's impact, meet Artest's impact, and wrestle with Artest......

And he was at the peak of the Pacers period, can Li Liang be unfamiliar with Ci Shiping's ball path?

Even what trash talk he likes to say when he plays, and what small actions he has, Li Liang knows it clearly.

Now, as a rookie, Li Liang dared to criticize the coach's tactics in the first training session?

This kid is really kind!

When Ci Shiping was a sophomore in his rookie, he broke Jordan's ribs in training.

He belongs to the first-class stunned youth identified by the National Quality Inspection Service of the United States.

I didn't expect that there was anything more than himself, could he not be excited?

Li Liang ignored everyone's expressions and continued: "We have such excellent offensive players in our team, who can organize, can be low, and can attack, why do you want to play civilian tactics like Princeton?" This does not play to the strengths of the team, it is a huge waste of resources! ”

At this time, Brown's face was already very unsightly.

Although in the summer league, Li Liang gave Brown a lot of surprises.

But he is a rookie after all, and he is still a second-round show.

And Brown is the head coach of a team, a man who should have the highest authority in terms of tactics and style of play.

How can a leader, a Caption, allow a newcomer to speak publicly to him?

But because of the role of [Bob Knight's hair dryer], Brown didn't have a seizure, but said: "What kind of tactics the team uses is carefully thought out by the coaching staff, and you don't need to dictate!" ”

Li Liang didn't reply and said, "I'm just telling the truth, loyal to the ear, good medicine and bitter mouth, Coach Brown." ”

His quest has been completed: [Quest accomplished, achievement: Los Angeles Mouth, Reward: Special item, title page of Bill Simmons' history book.] 】

What is this again?

After being a Los Angeles guy last time, Li Liang got this Bill Simmons history book.

Bill Simmons Leon is a well-known Celtics fan who wrote the book "Basketball History".

This book Li Liang turned over, full of sassy words, which is very suitable for fans who are getting started with basketball.

And after receiving the book in the system, Li Liang looked through it, but found that it was blank and there was nothing.

Now that I have a title page, what's the use?

As he pondered in his heart, Jim Bass and Kupchak walked up to Li Liang.

Jim Buss said to Li Liang in front of all the players: "Lee, if you dare to talk nonsense in the future, you don't want to play." When you come to the Lakers, you have to be clear about who you are! ”

For Li Liang to fire guns twice and three times, while not "respecting" the Lakers management, Buss Jr. has endured it for a long time.

Today he would have been very happy, being interviewed and watching the Lakers practice the whole way.

Brown was the coach he chose, so what tactics Brown used, of course, was approved by Bass Jr.

Since it is clear that Jackson has left a poison, of course, it is necessary to throw some triangular offensive into the garbage heap.

If the triangle offense doesn't work, then use the famous Princeton.

As for whether it fits or not?

The Lakers have put together such a lineup, what else is not suitable!

Buss Jr. dreamed of success in the new season, relying on Princeton's mercury-pumping offense to get back to the top.

As a result, this Chinese little hairy man made insulting remarks and even denied Princeton?

This is actually a denial of Jim Bass, can he not be angry?

[Rage +30 from Jim Buss.] 】

Little Bas was really angry, but Li Liang was also angry.

You didn't like me in the draft, you didn't value me when you were drafted, and I played well in the summer league because to be honest, you didn't let me play?

Li Liang knew that in terms of identity, he really shouldn't criticize Brown.

But it's true that the Lakers don't fit Princeton.

After two hours of tactical practice, everyone didn't feel it at all.

Li Liang was just the kid who punctured the emperor's lack of clothes.

Li Liang looked at the somewhat angry little Bas in front of him, and gently gave him a sentence: "OK, I'm fine and fu-ck you~"

Bass Jr.'s face turned pale, and the Lakers players in the audience were shocked.

Kobe Bryant finally looked at Li Liang, his eyes were very complicated.

Mike Brown stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.

It was Kupchak who came out to play the round and made Li Liang and Bass Jr. apologize.

Li Liang didn't say a word, snorted lightly, turned to leave, and went back to the locker room.
