On November 3rd, Li Liang went to Toyota Center to participate in team training in the morning.

The Lakers, mainly veterans, have relatively easy training content.

Nash, who had a knee injury, also came to the court to practice maintaining his condition.

In an interview with reporters, Nash said that his injury was not serious.

Yesterday he had a second examination in the hospital and confirmed that it was just a contusion of the soft tissue and no greater injuries.

It is estimated that it will return in two to three weeks, and the specific return time will be determined based on the team's performance.

If the team plays well, Nash can rest more.

If the team needs him, he will definitely choose to play when he can play.

Head coach Mike Brown has breathed a sigh of relief these two days and can take time to go to school to watch his son play rugby.

His main question next is how to fill Nash's vacancy in the starting point guard position.

He had a meeting with the coaching staff for discussion. Judging from the results of the previous two games, the lineup effect of Howard, Gasol, Ci Shiping, Kobe and Bruce Lee at the last moment felt pretty good.

To let Kobe play the point guard, the team does not rely on the No. 1 position in offense, and uses Gasol more to support it.

Just like the Lakers in the past, the point guard point was not used to organize the offense, but a functional player.

However, Mike Brown also has some doubts about this lineup, that is, can Li Liang perform steadily?

There are also Blake, Meeks and Morris on the bench. Can they be convinced?

The team is also a workplace, with ability and qualifications.

Players need playing time to show their abilities and increase chips to their contracts.

Therefore, as the head coach, you must balance such a relationship, otherwise, the unstable hearts of the team will affect your combat effectiveness.

Li Liang has a good defense, his shooting skills are hard, and he has a strong aura, so anyone dares to scold him.

But it doesn't mean that everyone is convinced (Brown is convinced anyway).

Moreover, Kobe's playing style of point guard is still a bit risky.

This is Kobe. If he doesn't pass the ball, who can stop him?

If Blake or Morris were allowed to start and Li Liang continued to be a substitute, and act as Lamar Odom back then, it would be a more conservative and steady choice.

To be safe, after some exchange, Brown and the coaching staff decided to let Li Liang continue to act as a substitute.

However, because of his excellent performance, he has become the best candidate for the sixth person in Brown's heart.

Brown suddenly felt a little sad when he thought of Li Liang as a substitute and wanted to blow the air in his ear.

He thought, "It's better to let Bruce Lee be the starter, so that he will never talk to me again, and be completely wiped out."

But he still maintained his last calmness and then announced the decision at the meeting after the training.

Blake was promoted to the starting lineup, and Li Liang is still a substitute, but he will become a member of the rotation.

In the competition with Jamison, Li Liang is already ahead.

Last season in the Cavaliers, Jamison averaged 17 points per game and was an excellent scorer.

Jamison's scores in the three games this season are 5 points, 2 points and 4 points, and he has completely lost his style as last season.

Moreover, his loopholes on the defensive end made the Lakers' already weak defense worse.

Mike Brown basically didn't dare to give him too much playing time, and he still trusted Li Liang more.

But you can't give it to me for a minute. After all, Jamison is a veteran All-Star player and has won the excellent forward line in 2010 this season.

He has a crush on the Lakers' reputation and lineup and hopes to come and win a championship.

Balance, balance, Mike Brown must consider the issue of balance.

In short, winning also has the trouble of winning. After the team training in the afternoon, everyone went home.

Li Liang decided to stay and practice more, and Kobe, Howard and Morris were also practicing more together.

Needless to say, Kobe will practice more every time he finishes training.

Howard can become a superstar, but he can laugh with a giggle.

As for Morris, he was called back because of Nash's injury, he hopes to seize this opportunity to perform well and strive for a guarantee contract.

The content of the four people's extra training was different. Kobe was alone, and with the assistance of three trainers, he practiced offensive skills.

Kobe has never stopped training his offensive skills.

From the beginning of playing basketball, from boys to men, he always has the same requirements for his football skills - that is, to be the best and strongest!

His dedication in training is beyond ordinary concentration and seriousness.

Li Liang felt that he had already devoted himself to training, but there was still a slight gap compared to Kobe.

It's no wonder that Kobe and Howard didn't call much. Howard trained seriously, but he still liked to laugh.

At this time, he was doing strength training in the gym.

Howard is a fitness-addicted fitness maniac, just like Carl Malone.

Those strong and strong muscles are accumulated bit by bit by bit.

However, the team doctor has always reminded Howard not to overwork.

Because of back injuries, the muscles on the back are the largest muscle group in the human body, and all the force movements on the upper limbs require the assistance of the back muscles.

When the back injury has not healed, over-fitting is obviously not good enough for the body.

But Howard was impatient. First, he was addicted, and second, he was not very satisfied with his performance in the first three games.

The decline caused by the physical ups and downs is psychologically difficult for a superstar like him.

It could have been dunked through people, but now it is possible that the empty basket cannot be dunked.

Originally, the volleyball cap was easy, but now it can only block the shot like Duncan, just like others did.

Not cool at all!

The psychological gap caused by the decline in status made Howard smile less.

He still remembers that he was loved by many people when he came to Los Angeles.

In the reception hall, Lakers fans used love balloons to create a circular welcome arch for him.

At the trading press conference, countless reporters flashed the shutter at him.

At the entrance of the sports center, fans reached out through the fence, hoping to get Howard's signature and shake him.

After three games, his jersey sales are still rising, but his topicality is declining.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that his power in the inside is declining.

A visible decline of the naked eye.

So he had to practice more and sweat in the gym.

In Orlando, he used such days and nights to make himself have a steely body and embark on the road to the first center.

One practices skills and the other practices the body, and the remaining two boys are practicing confrontation.

Morris and Li Liang are conducting one-on-one training.

Morris attacks, Li Liang defends.

During the trial before the draft, Morris was used to practice one-on-one with Li Liang.

At that time, Morris could no longer break through Li Liang's defense line.

More than three months have passed, and Morris's progress is limited. He is an ordinary player after all.

With the support of the system, Li Liang's defensive ability has become stronger, so how can Morris withstand it?

The two played for more than ten minutes, and in more than thirty rounds, Morris scored two goals!

After the fight, Morris didn't want to play anymore and said, "Bruce, come and attack me, I don't want to attack anymore."

It hurts self-esteem too much. Li Liang has figured out his own tricks.

Li Liang wiped his sweat and said, "I don't know much about the offensive matter, I just want to practice defense."

Li Liang wanted to improve his toughness and endurance on the defensive end through extra training.

He has basic skills and abilities, but defense is a continuous physical activity.

To maintain the intensity of defense, you need to have good defensive resilience and always focus on your opponent.

"If you want to enter the rotation, I advise you to practice hard. This is your chance." Li Liang said again.

Morris felt that what Li Liang said made sense, so he took a breath and continued to fight with Li Liang.

As time goes by, Li Liang can feel that his defensive toughness is declining, and his attention and reaction speed are not as strong as he started.

Sure enough, task training in the system can only increase the upper limit, and the lower limit and sustainability still need to be maintained by daily training.

The two of them practiced for an hour and were so tired.
