From Kobe's reminder to perform well, Li Liang could see that Old Bass was not only watching the fun, but also to inspect himself.

Although Jerry Bass has handed over all the power of the team to his son Jim Bass.

But as the Supreme Emperor who ruled the Lakers for 30 years, he would not completely let go of his power even at the last moment of his life.

At the draft, it was Jerry Bass' phone call that made the Lakers decide to trade the Mavericks' draft pick and take Li Liang.

But winning the draft pick does not mean that the team will definitely sign a contract.

According to regulations, the team must sign a guarantee contract with the players, but the second round rookie does not have this regulation.

Many second-round picks, especially players at the end of the second round, cannot sign with the team after being picked by the team.

Partly because they are overseas and have contracts from other clubs, the liquidated damages are high and they cannot sign the contract for the time being.

Another part is that after the team is selected, they will take a look and think that they cannot sign the contract.

The reasons are diverse, perhaps because of the belief that the strength has not met expectations, or perhaps because of the salary situation.

In short, these players who cannot sign have to play in the secondary league or overseas.

Some may be able to return to NBA, while others will never come back.

In the past few days, Zhu Shu has been on behalf of Li Liang and the Lakers in contract negotiations, and has reached the last step.

When the final decision was made, Old Bass believed that seeing was true and wanted to go to the training ground to see what Li Liang had.

After all, Li Liang did not have any NCAA performance to support him.

The winning of him at the draft showed Bass's courage.

But the businessman is the businessman after all, and he has to speak in business in the end.

Li Liang snorted disdainfully in his heart. The Lakers, the hard-working management team, did not believe in their own strength.

So is Old Bass. You are so sick. You can’t lie down at home and watch TV. Can’t you find two beautiful girls to serve you?

I have to go to the mountain where there is no signal to investigate a second round pick.

Li Liang had made up his mind in his heart that when he played out in the future, he would never compromise with the Lakers on the contract issue!

Unless the Lakers give the maximum salary with both hands and feet, Li Liang must torment them!

Of course, at this time, people have to bow their heads under the roof, and they still have to perform well in the competition.

The two sides were divided into two groups.

One group is led by Anthony Davis, plus Lee Liang, Maikegee, Knight and Teague.

One group is led by Cousins ​​and Wall, plus Terence Jones, Doron Lamb, and Dalius Miller.

The lineups of both sides are very complete, and there are powerful players in each position.

In terms of paper strength, the Wall team is stronger.

After all, Wall and Cousins ​​have been playing in the NBA for two years, so the improvement will definitely be great.

Davis has the No. 1 pick this year, the No. 1 pick, and Knight has a good strength, but ultimately lacks experience.

Of course, more importantly, everyone thinks that Li Liang is just a drag and neither side wants it.

Finally, Li Liang used his senior's deterrence to force Davis to choose him and joined the Davis team.

Davis, Maikegee and others sighed lightly, thinking that they would definitely be educated by their seniors today.

Kobe came to the center of the court with the ball and kicked off on the floor with the Lakers logo, which felt like he was playing at Stamps.

Cousins ​​and Davis jumped the ball in the middle circle. The young Davis had a better wingspan and took the lead in diving the ball.

The Kentucky Civil War began.

Knight got the ball and launched his first attack.

Knight had never played with Davis, and Davis came only after he left Kentucky.

The two had no tacit understanding at the beginning. Davis got stuck in the inside line, and Knight did not pass the ball to Davis.

However, Li Liang played with Knight for a year and knew that with Knight's speed, he could not beat Wall who was against him.

So Li Liang stepped forward to the high position to cover Knight.

To be honest, Li Liang's past did not do a good job of blocking people.

Because his body is not hard enough, his core is unstable, and he has a bit of a face.

So the other party squeezed away as soon as they squeezed, which was difficult to stop people.

Wall is one of the representatives of the emerging point guards in the league. He is strong and has a fierce defense.

He was in charge of the defense of Knight. When he saw Li Liang coming forward to do pick-and-roll, he directly hit Li Liang, trying to squeeze the kid away.

Unexpectedly, Wall had a head-on fight with Li Liang, and did not squeeze him away!

Haha, I am a person who has been attacked by Artest and is not so easy to be squeezed away.

The improvement of core stability has made Li Liang's blocking more powerful.

Wall's first defense line on the outside was broken, and Cousins, the inside, came to make up for the defense.

Cousins' defensive pace is relatively slow, and Knight plays a big and strongly breaks the inside!

But the last layup was not determined enough, and the throwing was a bit casual and missed.

Davis followed behind and made a hit with a double-handed dunk!

Davis took the lead in scoring two points.

This time the score is in the data, and Li Liang will not withdraw any cash.

But those who have watched the ball know that it all started with Li Liang's quality blocking cover.

Kobe thought to himself after seeing it, this kid has good basic skills.

Players who are really hiding on the court will not only look at the data when watching the game, they will see more details.

This is especially true for Kobe, who is a real detail-based maniac.

Many young players are good at breaking through, shooting and passing balls when attacking.

But places like covering, blocking people, and running data that cannot be withdrawn may be a mess.

Such players always have good data on the court.

But the longer he plays, the worse the team's performance is.

Some players are not very good at data, but on the court, the team plays very smoothly.

In Kobe's view, Li Liang has the potential to become such a player.

Of course, it is far from enough to just block people and do some dirty and tiring work.

If you can gain a foothold in the NBA just like this, then there will be too many people who can fight the NBA.

Li Liang also has his skill: defense.

Wall served in the backcourt, and Wall took the ball and pushed forward, and he was very fast.

Wall has always been known for his strong impact.

He is only 22 years old this year and his physical fitness is at its peak.

He started to accelerate after getting the ball, and Knight, who was defending him, was always behind and could not keep up!

At this time, Li Liang appeared near the top of the arc and joined forces with Knight to surround Wall!

Li Liang's assisted defense braked Wal.

He originally wanted to rush into the inside and hit a quick shot, but he failed.

As soon as Wall's speed dropped, Li Liang immediately returned to Jones in front of him.

An inconspicuous assisting defense hindered the opponent's chance to counterattack, and also protected Davis, who was inside.

This is what a good 3D player should do.

As a buffer zone between the two barriers of the inner line and the outer line.

Help small players on the outside to check for missing and make up for shortcomings, and at the same time protect the big players on the inside, and do not expose them to the opponent's firepower on the outside.

Cousins ​​and Wall had a very tacit understanding when they stopped to fight the position.

After the two men were in a pick-and-roll at the high position, Wall broke into the inside and directly threw high.

Cousins ​​succeeded in the air relay, and there was no way to do this ball, and both of them were too threatening.

Anthony Davis can't defend one and two in this situation.

Of course, the fundamental reason why Knight can't keep up with Wall's footsteps.

Li Liang went to the bottom line and served quickly. This time, the one who held the ball through halftime became Marquis Teague.

The tacit understanding between Teague and Davis is obviously better.

Davis went to the high position to cover Teague, and Maikiji in the bottom corner moved the bottom line to the other side, taking away the defense.
