Chapter 595: Horse

The big win over the 76ers made Pacers fans and the media feel the power of Li Liang.

30 points from three points, and the ship's new ball-holding ability, made the entire league exclaim, Bruce has evolved again!

Especially Li Liang's breakthrough, he won again and again without relying on cover, although the finish still relied on shooting, but it was a world of difference from the previous two seasons.

The speed at which this guy is progressing is simply visible to the naked eye.

The walker really picked up the ghost.

On October 31st, the third day of the game, the last day of October, the Cleveland Cavaliers also had their first game of the season.

The opponent is the underwhelmed Knicks.

As a result, the Cavaliers, who played LeBron James, Paul George, and Kyrie Irving, lost to the Knicks by two points in the first game of the home game 93-95.

Do you dare to lose to the Knicks?

James' debut back to the Cavaliers wasn't very successful.

Before the start of the game, he continued his opening ceremony of sprinkling magnesium powder, throwing it high into the air, like a pastry chef making bread.

Cleveland fans have seen the return of their king.

However, in the game, James's performance was not good.

Compared to last season, James has lost even more weight.

The headband on the head is removed, and there is more hair, and the whole person feels more lean.

As a result, in the game, James hit the basket many times and missed the layup, and the outside three-point hand was not good.

In the end, he made only 5 of 15 shots from the field and scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

And Paul George is clearly not used to playing next to James.

David Blatter's tactical system is more of a "team", he graduated from Princeton and coached European teams for many years, and obviously there is still a lot to learn and adapt to how to coach a superstar team and play American style basketball.

Therefore, the Cavaliers did not get off to a good start, and the Knicks just lost to the Bulls in the first game of the season, and most people thought that the Cavaliers would win by a big margin.

After the game, of course, public opinion was noisy, all kinds of mocking knights.

"Look at the Pacers next door, I knew James should have followed Bruce Lee."

"Bruce Lee is still improving, and LeBron is already going downhill."

"LeBron shouldn't have lost weight, and it feels like he's a lot less powerful to break through after losing weight."

"LeBron has lost weight last season, and he will lose weight this season, and if he loses any more, he can only shoot outside, but does he have the shooting ability of Bruce Lee?"

"If LeBron had Bruce Lee's shooting ability, he would have won five championships a long time ago."

"Upstairs wrong, there can't be five, because he's not going to Miami."

The discussion on the Internet is hot, and LeBron James and Li Liang are on a par.

Li Liang's outstanding performance of weightlifting made James' debut home look bleak.

However, Li Liang knew in his heart that James was just uncomfortable.

After four years with the Heat, he will definitely have to change his style of play this season and adapt to the Cavaliers' new system and configuration.

As for Li Liang...... Li Liang brings his own system!

His system is that there is no system, I just play, you don't care how I play.

Bird really doesn't care how Li Liang fights.

On October 31, the whole team trained, and Li Liang came over to train for three hours.

During this period, Bird did not make any regulations or requirements for Li Liang, only one sentence, "You can play as much as you want, as long as you win." ”

Bird is not lazy, nor is he ignorant.

When it comes to understanding the ball, Bird is definitely one of the people who knows basketball the most in history.

The problem now is that Bird finds himself not very well aware of Li Liang.

After the first game, his style of play was different from the previous two seasons.

A lot of breakaways, attacks under the basket, that we didn't have in the previous two seasons.

During the training camp for nearly a month, this product did not reveal its hand at all, it was really too deep.

Bird feels like his pretending career has suffered its biggest crisis.

There is such a hidden guy in the team, and he still knows the small weaknesses in his heart, which is really not to be underestimated.

Bird, who had been a little upset about being forced to be the head coach all summer, began to change his attitude.

In previous training, he always put up a stool and sat on the sidelines, and then Ge You lay down and occasionally blew the whistle.

Now he still sits on a stool, but instead of Ge You lying down, he sits upright, occasionally standing up and walking around the sidelines, constantly communicating with Brown, Vogel and other staff, and instructing the players to train.

Bird doesn't like to be verbose, his guidance is very direct and to the point, and sometimes he can't do it himself, and he demonstrates it himself.

The training worked well on the day and the confidence and morale of the players was well built after the big win in the first game.

And Bird's active guidance in training made the players practice more seriously.

After the training was over, most people stayed to practice, including Li Liang.

Then, Li Liang and Bird launched a challenge to the Horse game.

"Larry! Horse! ”

Li Liang knew how to shout at Bird.

When everyone heard the word Horse, they all got excited.

The so-called Horse game is a game in which one player chooses a point to shoot, and if it is successful, the other player shoots in the same position in the same place, and completes the action within 24 seconds.

If the shot hits, you will get a letter "H", and so on.

If you don't hit, the next player chooses the location and position of the shot, and the previous player challenges it.

Whoever gets the letters H, O, R, S, and E first wins.

Bird is the master of the horse game, and Reggie Miller, the best shooter in Pacers history, can't play Bird.

Li Liang was also inflated, thinking that his shooting had reached a certain level, and he wanted to challenge Bird.

Bird was talking to Scola on the sidelines when he heard a roar from Li Liang and knew that someone was coming to die.

Bird walked over with a cold face and said, "Bruce, have you had any troubles lately?" ”

Li Liang shook his head, "Yes, there is no joy in life. ”

"Then you shouldn't be bored."

With that, Bird raised his hand towards Finson and asked him to toss the ball over.

Everyone gave up half of the field to the two of them, and it was really a long time since anyone dared to challenge the Bird Horse game.

Li Liang was purely a twitch of his brain, and he completed the entire training by himself today.

Bird just observes but doesn't guide, Vogel doesn't think he can coach, and Brown thinks he's coaching.

So I feel a little bored practicing by myself, and I've always heard that Bird's shooting game is very powerful, so of course I want to challenge it.

However, Li Liang was still too confident in his shooting and underestimated how insidious Bird was.

The first shot started with Bird, who stood at a zero-degree angle on the right side of the ball, mid-range, and then made a mid-range shot.

in.

It's a simple mid-range shot without any fancy or unbelievable poses.

But Li Liang couldn't finish it.

Because Bird is left-handed!

When Li Liang saw Bird make a move, a cold sweat came down, and his heart was bad.

"Damn, forget that this left hand is also accurate!"

Because Li Liang didn't throw, it was Li Liang's turn to choose the shooting point and posture.

Li Liang chose a super long-distance three-pointer and stood near the center circle.

This is Li Liang's strength, and he estimates that at Bird's age, it is not so easy to hit such a long-range three-pointer.

As a result, Li Liang didn't invest in it himself!

, this ultra-long three-point is not something that can be thrown if you want to.

Even if he has a big grasp, the old horse sometimes stumbles.

Bird stared at Li Liang directly, which made Li Liang blush.

"If you can't, I can wait for you, I can get some sleep first."

"Relax, let me relax!"

Li Liang relaxed, tried again, and threw in.

Bird stood near the center circle with the ball, he aimed at the white frame of the rebound, shot one, and it went in!

Hit the board into the basket.

"Luck, it's all luck!"

Li Liang didn't expect Bird to be able to shoot such a long-range three-pointer at his age.

Bird has already gotten a subtitle H.

Subsequently, Li Liang took out what he had learned all his life and began to shoot from various angles and postures.

As a result, Old Bird took the call one by one.

Even if he couldn't catch it, Bird would shoot with his left hand, and Li Liang really didn't have anything to do.

His left-handed shooting is still far from good.

Who are you in more posture than this 30-year-old ball skin, isn't this looking for death?

When Bird hit a three-pointer from a negative angle, he collected all five letters of the horse and won the game.

And Li Liang only got the letters H and O.

After the victory, Bird showed a disdainful smile on his face, patted Li Liang on the shoulder, and said, "Bruce, I'll send you two more letters, L, Y, Larry's meaning." In the NBA, there is only one Larry. “

Holy,Holy shit!

Li Liang didn't speak with a dark face, he was already thinking about how to defeat Bird in the game.

Here's how aptly the system popped up:

[Achievement Mission, Horse Yu-Gi-Oh, Mission Requirements: Defeat Larry Bird in the Horse Game, Mission Reward: One Special Skill.] 】

It seems that I am motivated to train regularly.

……

A small episode in practice made the team atmosphere of the Pacers a little better.

Although Li Liang lost the game, his teammates got to know him again.

First of all, this thing dares to challenge Bird, and his courage is really commendable.

Secondly, this is a very interesting guy who brings a lot of fun to the team.

It doesn't feel like I'm as bad-tempered as others say, I like to swear, and I like to make big news.

In fact, Li Liang's scolding is limited to the court, and the people off the court are very easy-going.

As for making big news, it's completely the pot of the system, and the name given to me in the system is Bruce Lee.

What does Bruce Lee's matter have to do with me, Li Liang.

On Nov. 1, the Pacers host the Memphis Grizzlies.

George Hill and West remain sidelined.

Before the start of the game, when Bird was arranging the starting lineup, he kept staring at Li Liang, which made Li Liang feel furious.

"What's wrong Larry? You're not going to let me play as a starting power forward, are you? Li Liang had a bad premonition.

Because at the beginning of the Clippers, Li Liang had a good set of dealing with Randolph.

Now that West is not here, isn't it the best choice for you Li Liang to be a power forward?

Li Liang squinted at Mike Brown on the side, isn't it you? Is it you again? Slander?

I'm a small forward, it's easy for me to play a No. 3 position!

As a result, after careful consideration, Bird decided to let Li Liang start as a power forward.

Li Liangri is a dog.

And Randolph on the other side saw it, and his heart was also a dog.
