Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth IX force
As the season progresses, Donovan will have a deeper understanding of who is the coach and what the NBA head coach is.
The training camps of each team are in full swing, and the Western teams are strong, and the Western Conference will inevitably compete for the dominance again in the new season, with two super and many strong teams.
Needless to say, the Thunder, Ibaka exchanged for another Li Liang, and his strength rose rapidly, and his odds quickly rose to the first place in the championship.
Judging from the results of the training camp, Donovan believes that Li Liang and the current Thunder are simply perfectly matched.
I don’t need to worry about the issue of distribution of Durant’s stadium before.
As the preseason approaches, every day of training and contact, Nordowan feels that what Mike Brown says is likely to be right.
He doesn't have to design any system or routine to adapt to Li Liang, who can adapt to everything.
"It's okay. If you think there is anything to improve and improve on Bruce, just tell me and I'll let him practice."
Brown even praised such a sea mouth in front of Donovan, saying Donovan was stunned. Is it so magical?
If Li Liang knew that Brown was bragging about him behind his back like this, he would probably have beaten his bald head.
Is it easy for me to do tasks in the system every day?
Just tm was used by you to brag about it?
As the level gets higher and higher, tasks are more difficult, and the time spent in the system is gradually lengthening.
Although Li Liang is late for training every day, in fact, his training volume may be more than twice that of others.
With Li Liang's arrival, Kevin Durant is still actively practicing every day. He thought to himself, Bruce Li, you are lazy in training and your performance in the game will not be as good as me. Wouldn't the fans and media comments be reversed again?
With such a little thought in his heart, Durant practiced very diligently, and he had no idea that Li Liang practiced more diligently than him.
Soon, the Thunder's preseason began.
On Thursday, October 8, the Thunder team's lineup was intact and headed to Minnesota to face their first preseason opponent, the Timberwolves.
Timberwolves, Li Liang had no idea that the NBA still had the entire team.
Anyway, every time I consider the team, I never consider this.
Of course, the atmosphere in Minnesota is very, very good.
As this place is located in a bitter and cold place in the north, in order to keep the cold, the entire city is connected by a closed overpass.
You can run around the city, but you can always enjoy the heating.
Because of this, indoor sports like basketball are very popular.
There are Lakers in front and Timberwolves behind, but unfortunately the Timberwolves are too far behind the Lakers in all aspects.
The fans are still enthusiastic, even if it's just a preseason game.
Li Liang's influence has long been spread throughout the United States. After arriving at the target center, a large number of fans gathered on the sidelines waiting for Li Liang to sign.
Although the official NBA has discussed whether to curb Li Liang's transfer method of shooting and changing places, Xiao Hua has to admit at all that Li Liang plays a great role in promoting the promotion of NBA among young people.
Although NBA is very popular in China, it is only one of the four major alliances in the United States, and its history is shorter than that of the other three.
Both nfl and nhl have been around for a hundred years, while mlb was already a century-old alliance in 2013. If we trace it a little earlier, we can start from 1871.
In comparison, NBA is just a younger brother, and it is only about half the time of other alliances.
To the extent of promotion, in the U.S., basketball is either seen as a black sport or a sissy sport.
That's why Stern tried his best to promote internationalization and gentrification because the local area could not compete with other old-fashioned sports and took a different approach.
Now NBA has entered a bottleneck again, and Li Liang miraculously appeared, making headlines every few days, and then posting another news broadcast every summer. This level of promotion is really unparalleled.
The young fans all regard Li Liang as their idol. They do not care about Li Liang's skin color, nationality, or what team they are in.
As for children, there are not so many prejudices, they just worship heroes, it's that simple.
Li Liang was ruthless in signing the autograph, and Durant was jealous of this. He quietly shot on the court, but few children looked for him.
Durant's face was already long, and it suddenly became longer.
The Thunder's new No. 28 jersey quickly jumped to the top in sales.
Under Armour also took advantage of the trend to launch the Thunder Blue sneakers, which have been sold well on the market.
The color scheme of Thunder Sky Blue is much more fashionable and beautiful than the Walker's corn yellow, and is more popular among young people.
When you wear blue sneakers on your feet, you feel very elegant and eye-catching. In summary, you can only say "handsome".
These yellow sneakers... If you look at them from a distance, you would think you are stepping on two pieces of shit...
When the game started, the Thunder's starting lineup was Steven Adams, Li Liang, Durant, Westbrook and Andry Robertson.
What's scary about this lineup is that there is no low point on the field.
Each point has long hands and feet, and Li Liang is already a little shorter than the power forward and has an average wingspan.
After all, he is an Asian. Although Li Liang has a top wingspan among Asians, he is still incomparable to gibbons like Durant.
With such a lineup, the defensive end is really terrible.
On the bench, the Thunder are still sitting with very powerful players such as Kanter, Dj Augustin, Dion Witts.
It is natural for the Thunder to be favored by the outside world. Of course, the specific situation will be clear until the regular season starts.
After seeing off Love, the Timberwolves on the opposite side began to carry out a comprehensive reconstruction around Towns.
The Timberwolves also have a former teammate of Li Liang, that is Kevin Garnett. After winning the championship in the summer, he retired from the Pacers. The veteran signed with the Timberwolves with a minimum salary. Ye Luo returned to his roots and was preparing to end his career here.
Before the game started, the two shook hands and hugged each other.
According to Li Liang's current pace and frequency of team change, in a few years, almost half of the people in the league will be his former teammates.
From then on, the NBA will have another resounding title, "Li Liang's former teammate".
In addition to Towns and Garnett, the Timberwolves also have players such as Zach Laven, Rubio, Kevin Martin, etc., and they have strength, but in general, the gap with the Thunder is quite large.
Of course, the preseason is just a warm-up, and Li Liang is not ready to show his new weapons in the preseason.
The only thing that the media and fans were amazed by Li Liang's muscles. He was strong all over and the center forward was a solid hit.
After the game started, Li Liang played very constrainedly, and his offense basically did not go in. The defense was also commanding and commanding traffic.
I scolded my teammates very much, but I just didn't move and gradually became scientific.
You are only 26 years old!
On the contrary, Durant played so vigorously that he almost exerted 80% of his strength as long as he was present.
Durant voted when he had the chance, and soon led the Thunder to a double-digit lead.
From the middle of the first quarter, Donovan replaced the main player and allowed the substitutes to take turns to play.
Both sides are just for training troops.
By the end of the first half, Li Liang played 10 minutes in total, scored 5 points and 3 rebounds, and basically had no strength.
Durant scored 17 points in one move, looking like he was about to beat Li Liang.
Li Liang thinks this little handsome is quite funny. Why are you competing with me?
I'm bringing you to win the championship. Do you have any experience in winning the championship?
The Thunder were also very relaxed on the away game, 122:93, with a nearly 30-point advantage.
The Timberwolves' overall combat effectiveness is indeed not good. Their offense is really bad, and there is no strong point on the outside.
The first show of the Towns NBA was pretty good.
But the young man was still a little thinner.
Halfway through the third quarter, Li Liang misplaced the position to defend Towns and pushed hard on the low position. Towns pushed for a long time but didn't push...
Towns is also Li Liang's junior in Kentucky. In March this year, he led Kentucky to the final quarterfinals, with his performance very eye-catching.
But when I arrived at NBA, I was a little too short to watch, so I couldn't beat Li Liang.
"Young man, use some force!" Li Liang reminded Towns during the game and asked him to use force.
This thing is not enough to use force? If you can’t push it, you can’t push it!
Chapter completed!
