After the game against the Thunder on the 11th, Li Liang entered the system at night.

He didn't start Duncan's quest right away, he was saving it for tomorrow.

He entered the dimension of [tactical literacy] and turned on the [double-teaming] item in [basic defensive tactics].

Li Liang's score in this item is not bad, 45, after all, he practiced in Kentucky.

On the plane to Houston that day, Li Liang was doing this task.

[Do you want to continue the mission? 】

【yes. 】

[Task: Coach Don Huggins' double-team training course, task content: complete 5 hours of double-team training, task reward: double-team awareness and ability +15, get a special item. Task Difficulty: Normal]

This Don Huggins coach is the actor in the movie "Paths of Glory", the first coach to use all blacks to start the NCAA game.

In 1966, when racial antagonism was serious, the main players of the West Texas United team he led were all black.

They miraculously made it to the NCAA Finals that year, defeating an all-white opponent, Li Liang's alma mater, the University of Kentucky.

That year, Pat Riley, the "foul king", was in the Kentucky team and became the background king for a while.

This championship has a vital historical significance in the history of American basketball development.

Of course, Li Liang knew all these things, and he knew even more that West Texas United relied on defense to win that year.

The fierce physical confrontation of black players and the ubiquitous double-teaming made Kentucky lose its offense in the final.

Kentucky's head coach at the time, Adolph Rupp, was also a defensive master, and he was good at one-on-one man-to-man defense.

Whereas black players are faster, stronger, and they move everywhere.

Kentucky's scorer was heavily double-teamed before losing the game.

What Li Liang needs to learn is the awareness and technique of double-teaming.

This is the fifth time he has come to the course. Coach Don Huggins is still very young. Of course he is not as handsome as in the movie.

Li Liang trains with the legendary West Texas United.

Double-teaming requires accurate judgment, reasonable communication with teammates, and certain interference skills.

Compared with complex offensive tactics, the training of defensive tactics is much simpler, five class hours.

But the content is very compact and substantial. Coach Huggins is extremely harsh, as most coaches who are good at defense are like this.

In more than an hour, Li Liang learned all these things and successfully completed the class task.

After parting, Coach Huggins shook hands with Li Liang. In his eyes, blacks play the same game as whites, and Asians are no different.

"Believe in yourself and walk your own path." Huggins gave Li Liang a motto, which is what he believed in when he was young.

Li Liang nodded.

[Congratulations on completing the mission "Training Course of Coach Don Huggins", reward: double team awareness and ability value +15 (60), special item: Don Huggins' adhesive plaster. 】

Li Liang completed the task and got another special item.

[Don Huggins' Sticking Plaster: Shut Anyone Up Instantly. Duration five minutes. 】

When Don Huggins led the All Blacks' starting team, he received a lot of criticism and criticism.

In the end, he led the team to silence everyone with the championship.

Li Liang saw that this thing is easy to use.

and Bob Knight's hair dryer restrain each other, but unfortunately both things are in Li Liang's hands.

But so far, Li Liang has not met an opponent in the match.

The only one who can't be subdued is the bald referee Crawford, whose brain circuit is too strong to be suppressed.

Next time there is a game where he is law enforcement, dare to beep at me, and put it directly on your mouth, so that you can't even blow the whistle.

Thinking of this, Li Liang was very happy, left the system, and fell asleep contentedly.

On the 12th of the next day, Li Liang got up at ten o'clock in the morning and hurriedly prepared to go to the Toyota Center for training.

Today is Saturday, Bai Xiaoting was resting at home, seeing Li Liang hurriedly said, "I'm going to be late again, what kind of professional player is he?"

Li Liang walked around the house and found that Zhu Shu was not at home, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is Zhu Shu? Why isn't she here?"

"I left early in the morning and said I was going to Maryland to negotiate a contract."

Li Liang remembered that Zhu Shu went directly to the Under Armour's headquarters because of the Under Armour's contract.

Li Liang hadn't had breakfast yet, Bai Xiaoting saw this and brought out scones, eggs, milk and sausages from the kitchen.

"Eat, Zhu Shu is not here today, I will take care of your diet at home."

"Oh, how dare you do that, Designer Bai..."

"Eat quickly! Where is so much nonsense!"

Li Liang hurriedly finished his breakfast sullenly.

While eating breakfast, Bai Xiaoting told Li Liang that Nike has decided to buy Li Liang's sneaker design patent.

Li Liang thought for a while, although he was going to sign with Under Armor soon, but for things like design patents, it didn't matter which company he signed with.

I just gave my body and image, my wisdom and artistic crystallization, but I didn't sign a contract with Under Armor.

This stinking and shameless person has already attributed the design of the Y series to himself.

In this way, another sum of money came into the account, and his economy became more and more affluent.

After breakfast, Li Liang said goodbye to Bai Xiaoting and drove to the Toyota Center.

Came to the training hall, Howard, Hill and Gasol still did not appear.

They are all concentrating on recuperating now, and it is said that Hill's condition is not very optimistic and may need surgery.

Once Hill has surgery, he will miss the rest of the season, which means that the season will be reimbursed.

Hill's previous game performance can only be said to be so-so, but something is better than nothing.

In training today, Mike Brown adjusted several lineups.

Some start with Thackeray and Li Liang, some start with Ebanks and Li Liang, and some start with Clark and Li Liang.

Anyway, Li Liang is paired with one, he is paired with Thackeray, that is to play power forward, with the other two...

Needless to say, center, it's you!

Li Liang definitely didn't care, anyway, he was already prepared.

Isn't it just a center? I can be a coach, and it's not impossible for a referee.

However, Mike Brown consulted with the coaching staff and then referred to the opinion of the video analyst.

A relatively conservative starting lineup was adopted, with Thackeray playing center and Li Liang starting power forward.

Then in the rotation, the main love is to use Earl Clark.

In the previous few games, Clark and Ebanks used it in turn, and Clark performed the best.

He's big, has a great wingspan, and is very athletic.

After three games of adjustment, trial and error, and observation, Brown put Clark at the top of his rotation.

Li Liang's point is of course unshakable. The team now relies more on Li Liang's three-pointers and rebounds.

If the defense is not good, if you want to win, the offense must keep up.

The three games they lost were all poor defense and poor offense.

But for Li Liang, Brown and the Lakers management can't ask for more.

One million in two years and a salary of 445,000 in the first year. Where can you find such low-priced and efficient players?

Because of the discovery of Li Liang, Ryan West has been successfully promoted to the director of scouting for the Lakers.

After the training, Mike Brown called Li Liang aside and said all kinds of good things.

For a while, it is not easy for you recently, and you have to take more responsibilities in the interior;

Today, the photographers and producers of TWC TV station came to Toyota Center to collect materials as usual.

Mike Brown seized the opportunity to praise Li Liang in front of the camera, saying that Li Liang's role was further highlighted in the team's difficult situation, and he played a vital role in the team's defense and offense.

Actually, Coach Brown, you don't need to praise Li Liang.

Li Liang is not the kind of player who needs to be coaxed. He has a strong sense of self-management.

When you play, you have to play your best.

If I can't hit the best, I will go back to practice.

Slowly climbing up step by step, so the difficulty of the Lakers is simply a small case for him.

As for the TV station, it has to exaggerate this as if the sky has collapsed. It has experienced such a big crisis and needs to be rescued.

It's all nonsense, with me, Li Liang, what crisis can you have?

Your biggest crisis is that one day you may lose me.

Just that confident.

After the training, when she got home, Bai Xiaoting really made dinner.

It's really not easy, Bai Xiaoting can cook, and Wei Dazhi has gone out again.

Li Liang tasted a few mouthfuls of Bai Xiaoting's cooking, at first he showed no expression, and slowly frowned.

Bai Xiaoting seemed to be indifferent, but her eyes were secretly looking at Li Liang's face.

Seeing Li Liang frown, Bai Xiaoting said: "Do you like it or not? Don't say it's bad if you eat it. Even if it's really bad, just put it in your stomach and don't say it."

Li Liang smiled, "Well, the cooking is not bad, it's much more delicious than the cooking before, quite talented."

When Li Liang said this, Bai Xiaoting felt a little embarrassed and blushed, "Then you eat slowly, I... I'm going back to read."

With that said, Bai Xiaoting ran upstairs, and Li Liangfeng ate all the food and patted his belly.

After exercising for a while on the basketball court in the yard, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Li Liang was ready to go to bed!

This is bedtime for the elderly, because Li Liang is ready, Deng Dadai, here I come!
