Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems
Chapter 486 Feeling Something Wrong
The Clippers were immediately tested in the next game and got into trouble.
After playing the Pistons game, the Clippers went to Charlotte to play away against the Bobcats.
This is a back-to-back away game. The team left Detroit overnight. As a result, they encountered a snowstorm in the central region at the airport, and the plane was delayed for three hours before taking off.
By the time the team arrived in Charlotte, it was already past seven in the morning, and the players arrived at the hotel with tired bodies.
The team's noon training was cancelled, and everyone slept in the hotel to rest.
It was after three o'clock in the afternoon that the Clippers organized a trip to Charlotte's arena for venue adaptation.
Three hours later, the game was at Charlotte's Time Warner Arena, and the Clippers were clearly out of shape.
The Bobcats took advantage of the home court and played against the Clippers. The Clippers' outside touch was quite bad.
Li Liang saw that his teammates couldn't make any shots, so he only needed to do it himself.
Tonight he scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists alone, but his teammates played really poorly.
Griffin fell into a foul crisis, and his scalp was numb from the referee's whistle.
Now when the referees in the league want to control the Clippers' whistle, they have learned how to behave. Except for Crawford, no one else will touch Li Liang.
But he will stare at other Clippers players, and tonight's home whistle is particularly obvious.
Griffin fouled twice in the first quarter, fouled four soon in the third quarter, and his time on the court was cut to pieces.
Li Liang didn't understand. How could the referee call Griffin all kinds of fouls for a guy like Griffin who doesn't defend very well and has short arms and can't catch anyone?
This business level is really high.
Li Liang not only attacked himself tonight, but also let go of his mouth, scolding the referee, the opponent's coach and the fans at the scene.
Although he had a hair dryer, he couldn't stand the scolding. The audience scolded everywhere, and finally the referee scolded him.
As a result, not long after the start of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was called a technical foul for the second time and was sent off.
This is the first time Li Liang has been sent off after entering the NBA.
The whole audience was booed, and Li Liang followed Lambiel's example when he left the field, and bowed slightly to the fans as a sign of ridicule.
Needless to say, this game will definitely be fined in the future.
But Li Liang didn't care, this game was really a mess.
The referee blew the whistle like crazy, and the Clippers, inspired by Li Liang's scolding, the whole team was fighting against the referee.
The result was that Li Liang was sent off, and then at the end of the fourth quarter, Griffin was also sent off.
Both core players were sent off in the crucial fourth quarter, how can this game be played?
Rivers scratched his ears on the sidelines, but the Clippers did not give up at the last moment.
After being behind by 8 points, he chased all the way, but he only caught up to 1 point!
With three cores missing, the Clippers can play so tenaciously. Why?
Because I am afraid of being scolded!
If you play hard and lose in the end, it’s okay, losing is inevitable.
But if you give up the game early and lose in the end, you will definitely be scolded to death by Li Liang after the game.
He curses at training, on the plane, on the way to the hotel.
The Clippers are the second scolded numb team after the Lakers.
Numbness is actually good. Numbness will make players like soldiers, braving gunfire and marching forward, just to win, not to be greedy for life and fear of death and want to escape.
Therefore, if Li Liang becomes the head coach in the future, the team under his rule will be absolutely tenacious.
The Clippers tried their best tonight, but in the end they still failed to win the Bobcats, 96:97, a slight disadvantage of 1 point, and lost to the Bobcats.
Crawford's last-minute lore missed, and the Clippers suffered another defeat.
Li Liang checked the result of the game on his mobile phone in the locker room and knew that his teammates had done their best.
After returning to the locker room with the players, Rivers encouraged everyone, "We have tried our best, but tonight is not a night suitable for winning."
Li Liang felt strange, why did it feel like the referees were targeting the Clippers recently?
Moreover, those referees seemed to be getting more and more disobedient, not as considerate as before, and they always confronted Li Liang.
Recently, I have learned to talk back! On the contrary, he returned it.
After the post-match press conference, the whole team immediately drove to the airport and flew to the next destination, Toronto.
This time, Li Liang had brought his passport with him, so he wouldn't be unable to cross the border again.
On the plane, the teammates fell asleep. It took more than four hours to fly from North Carolina to Toronto, and everyone was very tired.
With the back-to-back away games and the frustration after losing, the special plane was very quiet, only the roar of the plane engine could be heard.
Li Liang didn't sleep, and opened the curtain of the porthole of the plane. The deep night shrouded the sky over the North American continent, and the stars shone brightly in the dark night.
Sitting next to Li Liang was Mike Brown. He was also awake and was doing statistics with his computer on.
If the computer screen was not on, otherwise Brown's face would not be visible at all with the help of the faint light on the plane.
It's too fucking dark!
Occasionally, he could see a bright white in the darkness, which was his teeth.
Don't look at Brown's usual joking, he is really serious about his work.
He has recently been learning new things in data analysis, which can better guide the team's defense.
Li Liang stepped forward and asked softly: "Mike, why do I feel that the alliance is targeting us recently? Why does the whistle on us seem to be getting stricter?"
Mike Brown moved his eyes away from the computer screen, pushed his glasses, and said, "Don't talk nonsense about Bruce, the league is very fair..."
Li Liang interrupted Brown, and said, "Don't make trouble with Mike. When you were in the Cavaliers, who didn't know that the alliance wanted to escort you, but... it's not enough. If it were me, the Cavaliers should be a dynasty."
Brown was a little embarrassed, and said: "Uh, Bruce, I know you are outspoken, and there are various rumors in the media and the Internet, but there are some things that must never be said, understand?"
Li Liangdao: "What can't be said, isn't the United States free of speech?"
"There is no absolute freedom, freedom has limits!"
"I'm not American."
"But you're in America, playing in the NBA!"
Li Liang gave Brown a supercilious look, he understood what Brown meant.
For a professional sports league, its operation is not at all good-looking, not a star, not a cheerleading team, not a commercial broadcast, but a word of fairness.
Any commercial sports competition, once the word "fairness" is missing, the consequences will be absolutely devastating.
Because this means that all confrontations, stories, and legends in the entire alliance are based on a deception.
Fans of any sports league hate match-fixing, and management, players, and practitioners, at least on the surface, also despise match-fixing.
It's just that out of huge interests, and the fame sought after by thousands of people, there will always be people who will take risks.
In the history of American professional sports, the Black Sox scandal in 1919 had a huge impact because of match-fixing.
You know, that was 1919, basketball was born less than 30 years ago, the first professional league has not yet been born, and baseball has already started to fake balls.
It is enough to see that he is a younger brother in the American Basketball League.
But the younger brother also quickly came from behind.
The basketball gambling scandal broke out in the 1950-1951 NCAA league. Seven players from the City University of New York (CCNY) were involved in the gambling scandal and admitted to participating in the gambling. As a result, the American college basketball league almost collapsed.
A direct consequence of this incident is that the NBA learned from MLB and launched the All-Star Game to divert the attention of basketball fans across the country.
For business people, it is always one of the best ways to divert attention when encountering problems.
The NBA has now become a complete commercial league, so there are endless rumors about the league manipulating the game, but there has never been a real hammer.
Because this is the fundamental point that concerns whether an alliance can gain a foothold. Once it is established, the consequences will be absolutely devastating.
So outsiders can guess that the NBA's own people will never admit it, never.
But Li Liang's feeling was very accurate. He vaguely felt that the referee was targeting the Clippers.
He is not a fool like Jordan who plays ball with his head down. He is very clear about the situation on the court.
Seeing that Li Liang still looked puzzled, Mike Brown said after hesitating for a moment: "Bruce, play your ball well, and you will definitely become the best basketball player in the world. As for your questions, put aside In the stomach, you know, recently, David Stern is leaving his position as president."
Li Liang looked at Mike Brown, who was illuminated by the computer screen in the dark, and felt that his face seemed to be darker.
