Chapter five hundred and ninety fifth horse(1/2)
The big victory over the 76ers allowed Pacers fans and media to feel the power of Li Liang.
Three-pointers and 30 points, and the ship's new ball-holding ability made the entire league exclaim, and Bruce evolved again!
Especially Li Liang's breakthrough, he made consecutive attempts without relying on cover. Although he still relies on shooting in the end, it is a world of difference from the previous two seasons.
This guy's progress is simply visible to the naked eye.
The walker really found a ghost.
On January 31, the third game day, the last day of January, the Cleveland Cavaliers also ushered in their season battle.
The opponent is the Knicks in poor condition.
As a result, the Cavaliers, who played three All-Stars, LeBron James, Paul George, and Kyrie Irving, lost to the Knicks at home with a two-point advantage.
Knicks, you dare to lose?
James' return to the Cavaliers' show was not very successful.
Before the game started, he continued his opening ceremony of magnesium sprinkling, throwing the magnesium powder high into the air, like a pastry making bread.
Cleveland fans saw their return of the king.
However, James' performance in the game was poor.
Compared with last season, James' weight has been further reduced.
The strap on the head was removed, and the head was too much, making the whole person feel thinner.
As a result, during the game, James missed a layup after hitting the basket many times, and the three-pointers from the outside were not good.
In the end, he made only 5 of 15 shots in the game, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
And Paul George is obviously not used to playing basketball next to James.
David Blatt's tactical system is more inclined to "team". He graduated from Princeton and coached in European teams for many years. Obviously, there are still many things to learn and adapt to when it comes to coaching superstar teams and playing American basketball.
Therefore, the Cavaliers did not get a good start, and the Knicks just lost to the Bulls in the first game of the season, and most people thought the Cavaliers would win a big victory.
After the game, public opinion was of course noisy and ridiculed the Knights.
"Look at the walker next door, I knew that James should have followed Bruce Lee."
"Bruce Lee is still improving, and LeBron is already on the decline."
"LeBron shouldn't have lost weight. I feel that his breakthrough after losing weight is much less powerful."
"LeBron has lost weight last season, but this season has been reduced. If he loses, he can only shoot outside, but does he have the ability to shoot as Bruce Lee?"
"If LeBron had the shooting ability of Blues Lee, he would have won five championships long ago."
"There's a mistake upstairs. There can't be five, because he won't go to Miami anymore."
The discussions on the Internet are in full swing, and they are compared with LeBron James and Li Liang.
Li Liang's outstanding performance of lifting weights made James's home show dull.
However, Li Liang knew in his heart that James was just not adapting.
After playing for four years at the Heat, he will definitely change his playing style completely this season and adapt to the Cavaliers' new system and configuration.
As for Li Liang... Li Liang has his own system!
His system is that there is no system, I just play basketball, you care about how I play.
Bird really doesn't care how Li Liang beats him.
On January 31, the whole team was training, and Li Liang came to train for three hours.
During this period, Bird did not regulate Li Liang, and only asked for one sentence, "You can play whatever you want, just win."
Bird is not lazy, nor does he not understand.
If you want to know basketball, Bird is definitely one of the people who understand basketball the best in history.
The problem now is that Bird doesn't know Li Liang very well.
After the first game, his playing style was different from the previous two seasons.
A large number of breakthroughs and attacks on the basket were all not available in the previous two seasons.
During the nearly one month training camp, this guy didn't show his trick at all. He was really too deep.
Bird felt that his pretentious career had encountered the biggest crisis.
Such a hidden guy came to the team and knew his own little weaknesses, which should not be underestimated.
Bird, who was a little unhappy after being forced to be the head coach throughout the summer, began to change his attitude.
In the previous training, he always brought a stool, sat down to the side of the field, and then lie down, occasionally blowing the whistle.
Now he still sat down with a stool, but it was not Ge You who lay down, but sat upright, occasionally standing up and walking around the sidelines, constantly communicating with Brown, Vogel and other staff members, and instructing the players to train.
Bird doesn't like to talk too much, his guidance is very direct and concise. Sometimes, if you don't work, you will go on it yourself and demonstrate it yourself.
The training effect this day was very good. After the big victory in the first game, the players' confidence and morale were well established.
Bird's active guidance in training has made the players practice more seriously.
After the training, most people stayed for extra training, including Li Liang.
Then, Li Liang and Bird challenged the horse game.
"Larry! Horse!"
Li Liang shouted to Bird.
Everyone was excited when they heard the word horse.
The so-called horse game is when one player chooses a point to shoot. If he succeeds, another player shoots in the same position in the same position and completes the action within 24 seconds.
If you hit, you will get a letter "h" and so on.
If it fails, the latter player will choose the shooting location and posture, and the former player will challenge it.
Whoever gets the five letters h,o,R,s,e first will win.
Bird is a master of horse game masters, and even the best shooter in Pacers history, Reggie Miller, can't beat Bird.
Li Liang was also inflamed, thinking that he had reached a certain level of shooting and wanted to challenge Bird.
Bird was talking to Scola on the sidelines. When he heard Li Liang roar, he knew 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, life is not fun."
"Then you shouldn't be looking for boring."
After saying that, Bird raised his hand to Finson and asked him to throw the ball over.
Everyone gave up half of the venue for the two of them. It was really a long time since no one dared to challenge the Bird Horse game.
Li Liang was just thrusting his brain, and today he completed the entire training alone.
Bird only observed but did not guide him. Vogel felt that he could not guide him. Brown thought he was guiding him.
So I feel a little bored when practicing. I have always heard that Bird's shooting game is very good, so of course I have to challenge it.
However, Li Liang was still too confident in his shooting and underestimated Bird's insidiousness.
The first ball starts from Bird. Bird stands at the right corner of the zero degree angle, at the middle distance, and then takes a mid-range shot.
Entered.
It's a very simple mid-range shooting, without any fancy or incredible postures.
But Li Liang couldn't finish it.
Because Bird uses his left hand!
When Li Liang saw Bird taking action, he felt cold sweat and thought to himself.
"Damn it, I forgot that this guy's left hand is also very accurate!"
Because Li Liang did not make a shot, it was Li Liang's turn to choose the shooting point and posture.
Li Liang chose a long distance three-pointer and stood near the middle circle.
This is Li Liang's strength. He estimated that at his age, it would not be so easy to hit such a far three-pointer.
As a result, Li Liang did not invest in it himself!
Damn, this far three-pointer cannot be made if you want to make it.
Even if he has a great grasp, Lao Ma will still lose his hooves.
Bird stared at Li Liang straight, making Li Liang blush.
"If you can't do it, I can wait for you and I can have a sleep first."
“Relax, let me relax!”
Li Liang relaxed for a while, tried again, but he ended up investing.
