Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Darius Morris was selected by the Lakers with the 41st pick in the second round of the 2011 draft.

The Lakers chose a 6-foot-4 guard, mainly to fill the gap left by the aging fisherman Fisher's footsteps.

But in this position, it's luck to find it, and it's a high probability not to get it.

In the 2011-12 season, Morris's performance was not satisfactory. Except for a slightly amazing debut against the Clippers, he gradually became mediocre as the season progressed.

He played a total of 19 games, averaging 2.4 points per game, and basically appeared in garbage time.

Of course, Morris still has strength, but it's hard for a team like the Lakers to give low-ranked rookies space and opportunities to play.

From Morris, Li Liang can somewhat see a shadow of his own future.

Li Liang warned himself that even if he is selected by the Lakers, his NBA career has only taken a small step, and there is still a long way to go.

Now, all he has to do is show off Morris in a one-on-one matchup.

To be honest, Li Liang's offense with the ball is really bad. With his weight and height, he can't even play a defender like Morris.

If you can't stand the confrontation with the ball, it is impossible to play big or small in the NBA.

Just like some big tall guys who can dominate the campus, if they are allowed to face NBA players, the 2-meter-long Thomas Jr. can't beat a player with a height of 175 ordinary people like Thomas Jr.

Because confrontation is not a level.

Therefore, Li Liang simply used his strengths to avoid his weaknesses, learned the lesson from the game against Morris the night before, and did not play offense with the ball.

When it was Li Liang's turn, he dribbled the ball twice on the outside and then pulled it out, so that he could score two more.

When it was Morris' turn to attack, Li Liang would not be polite.

After all, Morris has been in the NBA for a year, and he can't compare with those rookies who just came out of the NCAA.

In the [Personal Training Center], Morris was able to play back and forth with Li Liang on offense.

It was only at the back that Li Liang slowly figured out Morris's offensive routines and habits.

Most players, even superstars, will have their own tricks on the offensive end.

In the case of zero confrontation, he is proficient in everything. When it comes to critical moments and critical moments, he will use the methods he is best at and most accustomed to.

Like many small guards who can't play in the league, Morris has average speed, insufficient one-on-one confrontation, and is not good at left-handed.

Another characteristic of Morris is that when he does a crossover, his shoulders have a relatively obvious swing, which can be used to predict his changing direction.

Li Liang's defensive improvement is not only the movement and confrontation of the body, but also his consciousness and experience, which are also rapidly expanding.

Darius Morris in reality didn't know that he had already been seen through before confronting Li Liang.

For three consecutive attacks, Morris was blocked by Li Liang, and one of them was blocked abruptly.

Li Liang forced Morris to go left, let him break through with his bad left hand, then adjusted his pace and directly pressed his layup.

Later, Morris had to use a jumper to solve the problem, and finally scored one.

But Li Liang's defensive ability has been recognized by Ryan West.

He thought that he was right, this kid is really a good seed for 3D.

Since the Lakers returned to the western throne in 2008, the position of small forward has been troubled by the team.

In the 2008 Finals, Radmanovic served as a small forward, but was thoroughly beaten by Paul Pierce, who won the Finals MVP.

Having Ariza in 2009 and having Artest in 10 years gave the Lakers a taste of the championship.

Ten years later, Artest's state began to decline. In the semifinals of 11 years against the Mavericks, he was shot through by Stojakovic.

In 2012, that is, playing against the Thunder this year, not to mention being held in Durant's hands like plasticine.

Now, with James and Durant entering maturity, the league has entered the era of point guards and small forwards.

The team's demand for 3D players is getting stronger and stronger, and the Lakers certainly know this truth.

It's just that they have a 60th pick this year, and it's impossible to pick a good 3D player.

With his boldness and determination, Ryan West picked out Li Liang, the hidden treasure.

He is now full of thoughts about how to convince the management that they are willing to choose a Chinese player with black hair and black eyes who is unknown in the NCAA in the draft.

Judging from the tone of Buss Jr., he is more inclined to choose an insider with the 60th pick.

West thought, it would be great if Bass could come over to see Li Liang's trial training.

No, it may not be effective after watching the trial training. Maybe he will feel that Li Liang has no ability to hold the ball.

Li Liang had already ended the confrontation with Morris. The two shook hands to greet each other. Morris said: "Good defense, I remember you."

Li Liang thought, hehe, I will forget you.

Li Liang came off the field and saw West frowning, thinking that he was not satisfied with his performance.

Li Liangdao: "Ruen, that's all for today, I've given full play to myself."

Because he was fully prepared, Li Liang performed 100% today, and he is very satisfied.

West reached out his hand to shake Li Liang's hand, and said, "Yes, you played very well. But I told you at noon that the decision is not up to me. But I will try my best to convince the draft team that you will definitely be a surprise .”

West said so, but he was thinking in his heart, how to persuade him?

The current director of scouting for the Lakers is Jess Buss, the youngest son of Buss Sr.

But he has no right to speak. The real decision-making power lies with his brother Jim Buss, also known as Buss Jr., and general manager Kupchak.

For Bass Jr., to be honest, he can't compare with his father in terms of seeing players.

Moreover, the old Buss is willing to delegate power to the people below to make decisions, but the young Buss is different, he likes to make decisions by himself.

This is the troublesome place, a leader who is not professional enough, but has a sense of responsibility as a leader.

It's really difficult, if there is a heavyweight who can say a few words for Li Liang, it would be great.

West is a bit regretful now. He knew that he should find some authorities, such as the team's famous people, to watch the trial training and let them realize the value of Li Liang.

When the time comes to persuade Bass Jr., more people will be on West's side.

But this trick is not necessarily useful.

The power struggle within the Lakers has been intense, with many decisions not motivated by basketball considerations.

"Hey~" Thinking of this, West couldn't help sighing.

There are so many troubles in a family business, not to mention a basketball giant like the Lakers.

Li Liang looked at West's frowning face, and somewhat guessed his worry, but Li Liang didn't bother to comfort him.

Instead, he said: "Mr. West, if you are not satisfied with my performance and you are not sure that you can select me with the 60th overall pick, please let me know in advance so that I can go to another team to participate in trial training."

West said: "No, no, no, I am very satisfied. I am 80% sure that I can select you in the draft. But... there is no absolute in everything."

Li Liang snorted coldly in his heart, there is no absolute in everything, then I will definitely try another team.

Otherwise, for the sake of an opportunity for the Lakers, giving up the trial training of other teams, and finally becoming the undrafted pick, it will be a big loss.

Li Liang tidied up and was about to leave with Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu.

There was a commotion outside, as if many people had come.

Wei Dazhi's nose is very sensitive. He smelled the smell of his peers, and there are many peers, which means that there are big events or big people.

Without saying a word, Wei Dazhi rushed outside to check the situation.

After a few seconds, Wei Dazhi ran back and said, "That... that... Kobe, Kobe is here!"

Li Liang was startled, a hot guy is here?
