Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

At noon, Li Liang and Wei Dazhi had lunch together at a restaurant in UCLA.

Ryan West and Li Liang talked about some topics related to the NBA.

He is particularly interested in why Li Liang has such a defensive ability, but he can't get a chance to play in the NCAA.

Wei Dazhi also wanted to know this question very much.

Regarding Li Liang's strength in the past, Wei Dazhi knows a lot.

There are more than a dozen players at the University of Kentucky. If Li Liang wants to say that he is the second to last, no one dares to say that he is the last.

Unexpectedly, in more than a month, Li Liang's overall level has risen a lot like he has opened up the two channels of Ren and Du.

Watching Li Liang's trial confrontation in New Jersey that day, Wei Dazhi was stunned. He didn't expect Li Liang to defend so well.

Of course, Li Liang couldn't say that he could still enter the system training in his dream, so he could only say: "Well... the main reason is that in NCAA games, the requirements for players' comprehensive abilities are relatively high. And I'm only relatively strong in defense, but only three in offense. Point shooting, a little lame, so I don't get too many opportunities to play. Maybe the NBA is more suitable for me as a functional player. And for more than a month, I have practiced very hard."

What Li Liang said sounds reasonable.

The NCAA's overall confrontation intensity is not as good as the NBA's, and personnel changes are also relatively frequent. The requirements for players' comprehensive abilities are indeed higher.

In particular, some strikers who swing between the third and fourth positions can do whatever they want in the NCAA, but when they arrive in the NBA, they find that the four and six are not reliable and become tasteless.

In the case of the overall decline of the center position in American basketball in recent years, these dubious players dominated the college arena for a while, but they could not adapt to the taller, faster, stronger NBA, which is full of European white bears and muscular sticks.

Beasley is a typical representative, as well as the 11-year No. 2 Derek Williams.

On the contrary, some functional players did not show their talents in the NCAA arena, but survived better after entering the NBA with a low draft.

For example, the Lakers' championship forward, Trevor Ariza.

Ryan West listened to Li Liang's explanation, and combined with the successes and failures of the teams in the draft in recent years, he felt that his words made sense.

Seeing West nodding repeatedly, Wei Dazhi poked Li Liang, and asked in Chinese, "Hey, is what you said true?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true, otherwise you think I've practiced the Nine Suns Divine Kungfu, and my skills have greatly increased by opening up Ren Du's second channel?"

"Okay, okay, then I will write it down."

Wei Dazhi took out his notebook and recorded what Li Liang said, as a reason to explain Li Liang's sudden increase in strength in the future.

Although thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not reliable at all.

After dinner, West took Li Liang and Wei Dazhi for a walk around the UCLA campus.

While walking, West chatted with Li Liang about the recent situation of the Lakers.

"You know, the team is now in a transitional period. The team's strategic direction and signing policy are not very clear at the moment. The boss's health is not particularly good, and his son Jim is currently in charge of the team's signings. I There are enough suggestions, and the 60th pick in the draft is not very important. But the final decision is still in the hands of Bass Jr."

West is vaccinating Li Liang. Since the Lakers failed to defend their title in 2011 and were eliminated in the second round in 2012, Kobe has grown another year.

Therefore, the Lakers are in a transition period.

In the end, the team will continue to sacrifice the future, win in the present, and pursue the championship while Kobe still has the power to fight.

Or let go of the burden, focus on the future, and consider the longer-term future of the Lakers, which has not yet been determined.

Since last season, the old Buss' physical condition has declined, and the Jr. Buss has gradually reorganized the Lakers' management.

This summer, it will be Buss Jr. who will take over the Lakers behind the scenes and guide the direction of this galaxy warship.

Li Liang is an insignificant barnacle to the Lakers and Bass Jr.

If he could get on the boat, he stuck to the bottom of the boat and ran around.

If it's not impossible, just throw it away, let him sink to the bottom of the sea, and find a whale to parasitize.

Therefore, Ryan West can't guarantee that Li Liang will definitely be able to enter the Lakers' plan.

Perhaps West gave him a very high evaluation and strongly recommended Li Liang.

But if Bass Jr. is dissatisfied and has other ideas, then West's recommendation is useless.

Bass Jr. has the final say.

How smart Li Liang is, he understood Ryan West's words as soon as he heard it.

To put it bluntly, I may want you, but I can't guarantee you. There is no way, who makes someone rich.

Li Liang sneered in his heart, without the Lakers, he could still enter the NBA.

After two trials, he has confidence in himself.

With his defense and three-pointers, he can definitely have a place in the NBA.

Of course, Li Liang understands Ryan West's difficulties. After all, his father is not with the Lakers, and there is no one to cover him.

Nominally, they are directly responsible to the management, but in fact they have no one under them, so they have to run around all by themselves to hold a trial training.

"I still hope to play for the Lakers. After all, every NBA player has a childhood dream of being a Lakers player, and I am no exception." Li Liang responded to West with a very official answer.

In fact, Li Liang didn't even know what the NBA was when he was a child. His favorite team was his father's agricultural machinery factory basketball team.

Later, I went to high school and fell in love with the NBA because of Yao Ming.

When he arrived in the United States, he devoted himself to playing in Kentucky and waving the towel for the Kentucky Wildcats.

Erhu dream? Just opened his mouth to deceive people.

The three walked around UCLA, took a break, and returned to the training hall.

Outside the gymnasium, Li Liang heard the sound of playing ball inside, wondering if there are other people coming to try out in the afternoon?

West said: "It's not the person who came to the trial training, but the person who helped you in the trial training."

Li Liang followed West into the hall and saw someone warming up on the court. Li Liang saw that this was Darius Morris?

"Morris, is that you?" Li Liang couldn't help asking.

The night before yesterday, Li Liang had a two-hour one-on-one with Morris at the [Personal Training Center].

One is to collect information from Morris, and the other is to practice offense and defense with Morris.

Li Liang's defense is already qualified, but to be honest on offense, his ability to hold the ball is not to mention terrible, but it is not enough for strong confrontation.

Last night, Morris in the system used NBA players' pressing defense to teach Li Liang a lesson.

A 6-foot-4 small guard who weighs less than 200 pounds, Li Liang has no way to attack him.

Later, Li Liang discovered that it is better to throw directly from outside the three-point line, so that the success rate of the attack is higher.

Morris in reality saw Li Liang, but of course he didn't know him.

Hearing Li Liang's words, he looked confused and said, "Hey buddy, do we know each other?"

Li Liang knew that he had slipped his tongue, and said, "No, no, I don't know you, but I know you, uh, my roommate is your fan."

As he spoke, Li Liang pointed to Wei Dazhi who was taking pictures on the sidelines, saying that he was a fan of Morris.

Morris felt strange, he still has fans in the NBA?

Then he looked at the fat man who was taking pictures on the sidelines, and thought that such fans would not matter.

Ryan West told Li Liang that the trial training in the afternoon was mainly about offense.

One is open three-point training, and the other is offensive training with the ball.

In addition, there are tactical running training and one-on-one confrontation with Morris.

After fifteen minutes of warm-up, Li Liang began to practice shooting from beyond the three-point line with the assistance of the trainers.

Li Liang can run freely on the outside, shoot three balls at each point, and shoot non-stop for 15 minutes.

This is a test for the physical strength of the players, but it is really a piece of cake for Li Liang.

In order to complete the task of the three-point king, it was not for nothing to practice a thousand goals a day for two weeks.

Later, as long as Li Liang has time, he will try his best to find a venue to practice three-pointers, so that his three-point shooting can always be kept in good condition.

At the beginning, Li Liang's hands were still a little raw, and the hit rate was not too high.

Soon, Li Liang adjusted, he kept in mind Calipari's "fixed posture" requirement, and let himself enter the state.

Finally, when the 15-minute shot reached the middle, Ryan West discovered that Li Liang hadn't missed a single shot for several minutes!

Of course, Li Liang stole some tricks. At the beginning, he shot more shots on the right side to adjust his touch.

Slowly, move the release point to the left.

Finally moved to near the bottom corner on the left, Li Liang made several shots in a row back and forth.

None were lost because that was his favorite spot.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Liang moved to the middle again, and only then missed a few shots.

But it doesn't matter, Ryan West has already left a deep impression in the middle.

Li Liang's shot is very smooth and his posture is standard, reminiscent of the Serbian three-pointer, Pijia Stojakovic.

At the end of the 15-minute three-point trial, Li Liang was sweating profusely. He knew he had performed well.

Ryan West applauded from the sidelines and said: "You performed very well, Lee, your three-pointers are better than many rookies this year."

No matter what kind of sharpshooter the NCAA is, it will be more or less discounted in the first year of the NBA.

After all, the three-point line is more than one meter away, and the defensive intensity has also become greater.

Li Liang's three-point shooting performance is indeed quite good.

Li Liang thought, this is of course, I am a shooter who competed with Larry Bird on the same stage, the record-breaker of the NBA three-point contest, and a perfect scorer who can only reach but never surpass. What do I say.

However, the next tryout is nothing.

In the trial training of attacking with the ball and tactical running, Li Liang did not complete satisfactorily.

Anyway, a clean sheet is a win.

Do you want to make smooth and powerful movements, and also show super ball control ability?

Sorry, can't do it.

If it can be done, is it worth coming to the Lakers for trial training?

Ryan West didn't have confidence in Li Liang's ball-handling skills, so he went directly to the last session, one-on-one with Morris.

The previous trials were conducted under no confrontation or low confrontation conditions. West still needs to test it. Li Liang can perform somewhat in a confrontational state.

Seeing Darius Morris running up to him, Li Liang thought, I have figured out your tricks a long time ago, how can you still fight me?

Forget it, practice a few more rounds with him.
