Chapter 643: Build Yourself

Lore, there is no doubt, the TV station confirmed that it was correct after rebroadcasting it several times, and the lore of the whistle was pressed.

The Oracle Arena climaxed all night, and at the last moment, it was thrown into the ice world by a mid-distance from Li Liang.

The Warriors players couldn't hide their disappointment on their faces, but Curry still came over and hugged Li Liang, Li Liang touched Curry's head as usual, telling him not to be sad, after all, it's not the first time I've lost at my hands, and it won't be the last, there's nothing to be sad about.

In the future, when you are stronger and more mature, you will be more accustomed to it.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Li Liang as usual, and Li Liang blew through the cowhide as usual and talked nonsense.

However, he didn't dare to pretend to be forced, after all, pretending to be forced has to pay a price, and the system can't do it well and let him do the task.

When Li Liang's strength has developed to a certain level, what he needs most is stability, and stabilize his energy and emotions to devote to the game.

Currently on the Pacers, he's the backbone of the people, unlike in Los Angeles, where there's Corvo on top and Paul underneath.

So, he should be cautious in what he says.

Except for occasionally scolding Xiao Hua, there are basically no outrageous remarks.

After returning to the locker room, the Pacers had a small celebration, but unfortunately McGee was no longer in the locker room, he was sent to the hospital for simple treatment, he will stay in the Bay Area, and tomorrow he will go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the injury situation and then decide on the rest of the schedule.

The Pacers' victory over the Warriors caused quite a stir in the media.

Especially Li Liang's chic stop-and-go jump shot at the end made Li Liang's topic hot again.

What "your uncle is still your uncle" and so on, Li Liang will have a good performance every time he faces the warriors.

And his ball path and style are really a little restrained to the Warriors, the Warriors' small lineup, tactical system, and forward configuration are all a little restrained by Li Liang.

After this game, Steve Kerr should think about how to deal with Li Liang when he goes back.

And why do players always unconsciously go to multiple people to wrap him up? I never got it.

……

After playing the Warriors, the Pacers ended their first road trip of 2015 with a 3-1 record.

They currently sit second in the Central Division and fifth in the East with a 25-12 record.

It's not a good location, but for the Pacers, they still have plenty of time to fight for a higher ranking.

Back in Indiana, the Pacers were given a day of recuperation.

On this day, Li Liang also listened to the major media bragging and boasting about himself.

However, the Bay Area hospital soon came with the not-so-good news that McGee's MRI of his ankle came out and needed to be out for a while.

It is not expected to return until February.

This is a big blow to the Pacers, because the Pacers don't have a good backup center on the team except for McGee.

With whom? Rudayi?

Forget it, Bird probably would rather use Li Liang than Lu Dairi casually.

But the question is, will letting Li Liang play too much in the center position will affect his health?

Actually, no, he wears a set of equipment all the time, and the person who is armed to the teeth, where will he be injured?

But Bird doesn't know, Bird still doesn't want his core players to consume too much in the center position.

On the day of the No. 8 team-wide training, Bird consulted with Mike Brown and Vogel about putting Li Liang in the center position.

At the same time, Bird is also looking around in the free market and the Development League for a working center short-term contractor who can hold up for at least a while.

But at the moment, the market doesn't have a good enough center to sign.

Hassan Whiteside, who was favored before, has been taken away by the Heat.

Not having a backup center is a real problem for the Pacers.

But for Brown, it's not a problem, he just said: "No, no, no, no, just let Bruce play center, he can, you see how well he plays!" Don't worry about him getting hurt, he won't get hurt, if you don't let him play more, it's only his heart that will hurt. ”

After spending some time with Bird, Brown began to speak literati.

Vogel on the side objected, "Playing center will definitely increase the probability of injury, it's okay to play occasionally, how can you play for a month?" Besides, if he plays the center position, is it really okay to help defend under the basket? ”

Brown retorted: "Why not? He contributed 3 blocks in the last game and he did a good job. ”

"But that doesn't mean he can play like this every game."

"Who says no, it's not an extraordinary performance, if you let him practice more, it will become his normal performance."

Vogel didn't know what Brown was talking about, and he always had a kind of confidence in Li Liang.

It seems that Li Liang can do anything,—— although the current performance is really a bit of a meaning.

Bird had become accustomed to Brown and Vogel arguing about everything, and he would always reconcile in the end.

"Let Bruce play for a while, and I will pay attention to the situation in the free and trading markets, and try to make up for this point as soon as possible."

In this way, Li Liang is going to start playing center again.

The last time such a situation occurred was with the Lakers, when the Lakers' interior injury was not left, Li Liang really had no way, and played a center at the No. 5 position for more than a week, and he didn't skip the opening jump ball, and basically didn't lose.

After the training, Bird told Li Liang about the decision.

Li Liang is numb, it doesn't matter, just fight, I'm still afraid?

In fact, after having [Iron Body], Li Liang is much more comfortable playing center.

Height is second to the center, and strength is key.

It doesn't matter if you're short, as long as you're not as short as Paul.

Thin is never a must, even if some players who look skinny are actually very athletic.

On the night of the 9th, Li Liang appeared as the starting center and led the team against the Boston Celtics.

I didn't expect it to be a very hard game.

Celtic's coach Stevens came prepared, and the two sides played extremely targeted.

The game was played until overtime, and when it came to the extra game, Li Liang didn't want to pretend anymore.

In overtime, he made three consecutive three-pointers to teach the Celtics to behave.

What is a superstar? Even if you think of all kinds of ways to deal with me in advance, you can still seal your throat with a sword at the critical moment, so that all your efforts will be in vain.

In this game, Li Liang scored a triple-double, 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

One man withstood the Celtics' team-wide outburst tonight, helping the Pacers win 109-103, 6-point overtime over the Celtics, and snap a three-game winning streak.

But in this game, Li Liang also felt that it was still difficult for him to play center.

In particular, the ability to protect the basket is really insufficient.

In this game, the Celtics seized on the weakness and repeatedly broke through the basket to score.

Li Liang is not convinced, I don't like to play the center is my business, but if I don't play the center well, I won't be happy.

Then, on the 10th, after playing the Celtics at home, the Pacers immediately went to Philadelphia to play the 76ers back-to-back away.

As a result, the whole team was in a sluggish state, and it was 92:95, and the 3-point disadvantage lost to the weak 76ers away, which was a big upset.

After the game, Bird said to Li Liang in the locker room: "It seems that you have been allowed to play center, and the pressure on you is too great, so you should be allowed to return to the position you should be." It's okay, I'll trade for a suitable player to take the pressure off you. ”

Who can't afford it?

Am I too stressed?

Li Liang didn't speak, he thought that Bird couldn't recruit any useful center for a while.

It's okay, I've built myself into a good center, isn't that the end of it?
