Training ground.

Trainer Martin complained and said: "Li, you are getting stronger and stronger, and your confrontation ability is increasing very fast, I can't stand it anymore!" I have no idea what those fools are questioning your abilities. ”

Li Linlin: "Haha, Martin, don't care about that, I will respond to all of them with actions, and then come." ”

"Bang, bang, bang"

Li Forest was doing confrontational shooting training with the trainer holding the big mat again and again.

In the past two months, Li Linlin's height has grown from 197 to 198, and his weight has grown from 93KG to 97KG.

The biggest shortcoming in talent can be regarded as making up for it.

In the low post, as long as it is not against the inside, Li Forest is now not afraid of any defense, even against Kobe Bryant, who has a strong core, and Wade-style guards, he will not suffer.

Although Li Linlin's on-field statistics have dropped sharply in the past two months, Li Linlin knows very well that his personal ability has indeed improved, and the decline is more of a tactical problem.

He understands a lot from the experience of Section 8, and he doesn't need to care about other people's opinions and data now.

Only by improving yourself first and focusing on training, then your own sweat will give you a reward, and then the contempt for you will naturally decrease.

Even if Li Forest's data has declined, in fact, Li Forest, Wei Shao, and Durant are still close to cutting 80+25+25 data per game, and the overall attack power of the Thunder is not too much of a problem!

In theory, their combination has surpassed the strength of all the outside combinations of this era!

It's just that they are the core to attack the championship and are not understood by the fans.

The three's style of play is still biased towards the outside, and in this era of focusing on the inside, the Thunder Sanshao is an alternative, which makes fans feel unreliable.

Now the Thunder's problem is obvious, how to solve the ball possession?

This is the difficulty of restricting the Thunder from becoming a championship-level team, and the current Thunder three young are Li Linlin's humble concessions, allowing Durant and Wei Shao to hold the power!

The Thunder coaching staff is very clear that judging from the performance of Li Forest alone and the early part of the season, Li Forest's scoring ability is stronger than Wei Shao.

This will work for a short time, but it may not be possible in the playoffs, as long as one part of the playoffs starts to go wrong, then the whole season's efforts will be wasted, and they must solve this problem before the playoffs.

After the training session.

Brooks called Lee Forest to the coach's office and asked, "Lee, do you need to add to your tactical setup for the next game?" ”

Li Forest is now nicknamed the third by fans, and the second position is replaced by Wei Shao, and Brooks wants to help Li Forest change the status quo.

Li Linlin smiled and said: "Coach, there is no need to change, just like that, someone between the three of us must make sacrifices, increase my tactics, it will inevitably reduce Russell and KD's shots, our style of play is like that, let us adjust ourselves on the field." ”

Coach Brooks saw that Li Forest was so determined, so he was no longer entangled, so he had to reply: "Hmm! ”。

He could only stagger the playing time of the few of them as much as possible.

For the question of possession.

Li Forest has also thought about it, the current problem is the same as the problem of the previous life Thunder in 2012, which is a problem that will inevitably arise at this stage of the three cores.

On this ball issue alone, you have to torture for several years! Then the estimation can find a compromise.

The current situation is also very similar to the Heat Big Three in the previous life, between them, it is Wade Humility, James rising, and Bosh being behind the scenes, which has allowed them to succeed.

...........................

Li Linlin's decline in data has also caused criticism from domestic media and fans.

"Indulge in gentle township, Li Forest is no longer majestic on the field, my lost youth!"

"He has too much money, it's good to give me a little, I'm willing to bear this stormy criticism for him..."

"It's a matter of ball possession, Li Linlin's concession!"

"I heard that his reality show was postponed, tsk, there is still time to play this, no wonder it is so bad."

"It seems that there are some problems with the schedules of the two TV stations, and they need to coordinate to broadcast at the same time."

Few people who understand can understand Li Linlin's current actual situation, and most people just criticize Li Linlin and criticize him for his declining state.

Li Forest in the apartment turned off the computer and stopped watching the news, the rumors and violence on the Internet were so crazy that it would be difficult for Li Forest to remain calm if he continued to watch.

Gentle Township?

Li Forest looked at the back of Lin Xiaolu, who was busy in the kitchen, and didn't think so.

This chick has put a lot of thought into his weight gain.

Working hard every day to learn Chinese cuisine and study his tastes, Li Linlin's weight has increased by 4 kilograms in just two months, and this 4 kilograms of growth is not as easy as ordinary people.

When Li Forest was very irritable, this girl still knew how to explain people, and she was afraid that Li Forest would suffer more pressure, so she also took the initiative to suspend the filming of the reality show to postpone the show.

What she did for Li Linlin, Li Linlin saw it in her heart, this is not a gentle township.

..........................

At the beginning of February, Li Forest began to adapt to the change of role on the court, and the scoring began to fluctuate, and there was no embarrassment of only scoring 13 points in a single game.

Lee Forest's average points per game are controlled at about 24 points, Westbrook's is still improving, Durant is as stable as ever, and the run-in between the three is beginning to bear fruit.

This was followed by an improvement in the Thunder's record, and before the All-Star break, they had lost just one game.

The All-Star Game in mid-February was held in Dallas as scheduled, with the East 141-139 win over the West.

Dwyane Wade was named MVP with 28 points, 11 assists and six rebounds, and in other events, Robinson joined the dunk king for the third time, Pierce became the new three-point leader, and Nash won the Skills Contest.

This All-Star set a basketball audience record, with 10,873 fans to watch, and there were many highlights of the All-Star Game, represented by the players of the 03 generation, who completely ended up with Kobe Bryant (not playing due to injury), Garnett, Nash, Pierce's generation of players, and the new All-Star stage Rondo, Rose, Durant, Li Forest and others have played well, and Li Forest, who has A+ strength, just went to play soy sauce, showed his face, and played with Lin Xiaolu the rest of the time.

Li Linlin couldn't go home during the Spring Festival because there was still a game, and Li Linlin's parents also came to the United States to accompany Li Linlin, and Lin Xiaolu took the time to go back to South Korea to accompany his family.

After the All-Star Game.

The Thunder began to win against playoff-caliber teams, and by the end of February, the Thunder had an impressive 38-21 record and moved up from eighth to sixth in the West.
