Chapter 55 You are a fool
After more than two hours of training in the morning, Li Liang went to the locker room to take a shower and went to have dinner with the Wildcats.
Wildcat players have school food subsidies and special sports nutritious meals.
Li Liang is no longer a member of the team, so he cannot enjoy this treatment.
In this case, of course he has to take advantage of Kalipari.
Anyway, Laoka has a great harvest this year, and counting money will probably lead to cramps in your hands, and it will be a drop in the bucket for a while.
Kalipari didn't care about treating Li Liang to eat, but when he saw that Li Liang's food plate was full of, as if he was robbed, he was still surprised and said, "Bruce, do you still have to take it after you eat? The canteen is not allowed to take it away."
Li Liang said: "Who wants to take it away! I just want to eat so much!"
After saying that, Li Liang started his lunch, one meal was worth three meals.
Calipari shook his head repeatedly when he saw it, saying, "Bruce, you are playing basketball, not practicing sumo wrestling."
Li Liang chewed the bacon egg cast in his mouth and said, "I need to replenish energy, you know, I train a lot."
Kalipari thought that over the past month, Li Liang must have undergone inhuman training, otherwise he would not have made such rapid progress.
It seems that I really underestimated him in the past.
Li Liang's body may contain potential, but this potential is very deep and needs to be explored in depth.
Kalipari said: "Bruce, if you think there is anything you need in training, please tell me."
Li Liang chewed the hamburger and said, "I think... I want to know how to practice the whole game's defense, and make the fastest progress."
Calipari said: "You practiced well today after the defense of the whole game. However, Hood and Perisrez, who are in the same group as you, have average ball control skills. You can try to have you and Goodwin in the same group tomorrow. Also, if you need it, I can take you alone."
When Li Liang heard this, Lao Ka was so good and wanted to take him to practice alone.
Calipari doesn't easily take time to take players to practice alone, and only talented players like Wall, Cousins, and Davis are qualified to let Calipari provide individual guidance.
The last time Lao Ka helped Li Liang practice three-pointers, he helped Li Liang a lot.
Li Liang hopes that this time we can improve quickly so that Fraser's damn task can be completed earlier.
For lunch, Li Liang ate three bacon egg burgers, two bowls of potato salad, six slices of chicken breast and a large bowl of Thai fragrant rice.
Generally speaking, basketball players will eat much larger than ordinary people, but it is really rare to eat so much like Li Liang.
After eating, Li Liang walked around the Kentucky campus for two rounds to digest.
In the afternoon, we gathered in the stadium and conducted an hour and a half of confrontation training.
Calipari divided the players into two groups to fight, including one in the junior three and senior four, and one in the senior three.
There are 9 people in the first and second groups in the first and second groups, while there are 5 people in the third and fourth groups in the first and second groups in the first and second groups.
Kalipari's arrangement is to let the first and second teams play rotational battles, and let the third and fourth teams play sparring training.
Li Liang is very familiar with the job of being a sparring training, just being a Blue Army.
Kalipari will provide tactical arrangements and guidance to the sparring team.
The first and second groups of the first and second groups solve the problems of tactical cooperation and rotation by themselves.
Kalipari really wants to see what the four newcomers will perform this year.
Li Liang and his old teammates, Hood, Julius Mays, Beckham and Jarrod Palson.
This is a purely small lineup, because Li Liang, who is 6-foot-9, is the tallest among the five.
So in this lineup, Li Liang wants to play as a center!
Li Liang is not afraid of the center position. After a period of training, his physical fitness has been greatly improved.
Although he cannot reach the level of an inside player in confrontation, he really has the strength to do it.
Especially in the [Physical Quality] training, he completed a series of tasks of [Warring with Iron Man], which improved his ability to confrontation was certainly improved.
Nowadays, there are no low-post monsters in the NCAA, and both Noel and Cauley Stan are modern centers.
What the junior and senior teams need to worry the most is that the frontcourt rebounds will be snatched.
But so what? Just get it back on the offensive end.
The freshman and sophomore group ranked the lineup of center Noel, power forward Velcher, small forward Perisrez, shooting guard Veron Hayro, and shooting guard Goodwin.
There was also a master sitting on the bench, Cowley Stan.
Although there are nine people in the first and second group, these six are truly capable of playing basketball.
There are three more guys, and their level is slightly higher than that of Li Liang in the past.
"Okay, the opponent has an advantage in the inside, but we can cause them some trouble. Pull the four corners apart, use Metz's speed to rush the inside, and prepare for a three-pointer on the outside. It's that simple, see how they will deal with it."
Before the start of the confrontation, Kalipari made very simple tactical arrangements.
A burst of shots is to open up the space.
Julius Mason is a senior this year and is a low-talented but experienced point guard.
With him here, there is no need to worry too much about the attack of the junior and senior teams.
After playing, Mason looked at Li Liang and said, "Bruce, you have no problem playing center?"
Li Liang said: "Of course it's okay, I'll just shoot three-pointers anyway."
Mason curled his lips and smiled, thinking to himself, what else can Li Liang do besides being able to free throws?
Xia Tian actually came over to do a sparring training. It seems that Coach Kalipari liked him quite well, I really don’t know why.
Mason did not notice Li Liang's performance in defensive training in the morning, thinking that Li Liang was still the useless substitute before.
Both sides came to the court, and Li Liang stood in the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball.
In high school, Li Liang used to play as the center of the class team.
At that time, he had grown to 1.95 meters and was an invincible existence in the class competition.
When he came to the United States, entered university, and reached 205, he found that the center position was not something he could do at all.
Standing opposite the center circle is Norance Noel, the University of Kentucky's hope for next season, an alternative to Anthony Davis.
Like Davis, he is tall and has a long arms, and is 6 feet 11 inches long.
However, Li Liang looked at the square and raised hair above his head and thought that this hairstyle was at least 1 inch.
Before jumping the ball, Li Liang first turned on the [Ball Blind Appraiser] and made an appraisal for Noel, a boy who looked a little dazed.
[The ball blind index is 67%, and the understanding of basketball is still in a relatively primitive era, such as 1961 or earlier. With instinct and talent, he is in touch with the sport of basketball, but his mind is a mess about how to play basketball well and how to plan his basketball career. If he does not have a body that is very suitable for basketball, his ball blind index will undoubtedly reach 90% of the black blind line - he will be difficult for him to even sense photos.]
When Li Liang saw that this guy was finished, his ball quotient was not high.
After many appraisals, Li Liang slowly discovered that judging a person's ball blind index mainly depends on two parts.
One is his actual basketball level, and the other is his understanding of basketball.
The understanding of basketball is divided into understanding basketball skills and tactics, as well as the understanding of basketball itself.
In short, playing well does not mean that you have a good understanding of basketball.
If you have a deep understanding of basketball, you may not be able to play basketball at all.
Noel seems to be a young man who can play basketball but has no in-depth understanding of basketball.
The test results are much worse than Anthony Davis.
From this point of view, if you have to rely on him, the Kentucky Wildcats will not be very good next season.
Just as he was thinking, the referee threw the ball into the air and jumped the ball.
Noel jumped hard, jumped high and touched the ball first.
And what about Li Liang?
He didn't jump at all.
"Hey, fool, who wants to jump with you?"
