Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

The Pacers' preseason was uneventful.

For Li Liang, the main function of the preseason game is to enjoy the cheers of the home fans, and then get used to the feeling of wearing the Pacers' jersey.

The newly designed striped shirt is Li Liang's favorite style, which will make his figure look slimmer.

The bright yellow of the Pacers is also very eye-catching, and it matches well with the cyan.

In the past, the Pacers' jerseys have always been unpopular in the league.

There is no way, the small teams are all yellow, the Lakers are "gold", and the Pacers are "corn".

In fact, the two colors are similar, but the stories behind them are different, and the appeal to fans is different.

After Li Liang put on the Pacers jersey, the sales of the Pacers' No. 28 jersey soared. According to statistics before the start of the regular season, it was second only to James' No. 23 Cavaliers jersey in the sales rankings.

By the way, Li Liang's No. 28 Lakers jersey is still on the list.

The No. 28 Clippers jersey is gone.

On October 11, the Pacers lost to the Magic by 2 points in the preseason.

On the 13th, they defeated the Lone Ranger again.

On the 16th, the Pacers challenged the Cleveland Cavaliers in an away game. Li Liang heard boos from the Cavaliers' home court when he appeared on the court.

This group of heartless people, no matter what I say, they have helped the knight a lot.

Go to the countryside to send warmth, donate one to George for free, and help the Cavaliers form the Big Three.

Without the Big Three with three All-Stars, how would you let James play?

Of course, some fans gave Li Liang applause, and even raised the slogan "Thank you, Bruce."

Li Liang couldn't figure out whether it was a sincere thanks or a mockery.

It can only be said that this experience of joining as a free agent and then requesting a trade will become one of the few black histories of Li Liang.

In this game, Li Liang was not polite. With the Pacers trailing, in the last two minutes, Li Liang made three consecutive three-pointers from the outside, helping the Pacers to overtake. In the end, they defeated the Cavaliers by 3 points at 101:98. .

A series of operations silenced the Cavaliers scene.

Paul George, who returned from leveling at the World Championships, defended Li Liang in the last two minutes, but it was useless.

Li Liang's three-pointer completely ignored the opponent's defense-his open three-pointer shooting percentage has increased to 92 points.

After 90 points, no improvement is a huge improvement.

This is the result of his long-term hard training.

In the next few games, the Pacers won and lost, and in general they still focused on training.

On the 28th, Li Liang completed his mission, the Pacers also ended their preseason journey, and finally started the regular season of the 14-15 season.

The Pacers' first opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, which can also be called the Abandoned City 76ers.

Li Liang's younger brother Noel was selected by the 76ers last season, but he was reimbursed for his rookie season and will return this season.

In this year's draft, the 76ers used the No. 3 pick to win Cameroon's talented center Joel Embiid.

As a result, the new season has not yet started, and Embiid has announced his retirement... The 76ers team is simply poisonous.

However, the 76ers are still in a bad situation, and Embiid's reimbursement is good news for their bad plans.

On the 29th, the day before the Pacers' first game of the new season.

Li Liang got up very early. He had just finished his mission last night, so it was rare for him not to sleep in. He got up early to participate in training.

After driving to the training hall, Li Liang heard the sound of someone playing in the training hall.

"Oh, there is someone earlier than me?"

Li Liang thought so in his heart.

He is also boastful, and occasionally arrives early, and used to say "Is there anyone later than me?"

Or "Are you training again?"

When people go to the countryside, it is easy to go to bed early and get up early, enjoying the rural life of sunrise and sunset.

Li Liang entered the training hall, changed his clothes, and found that it was Lance Stephenson who was there.

Stephenson is shirtless and is practicing ultra-long-range three-pointers on the court.

After being taught a lesson by Li Liang last time, he was stimulated and began to train hard.

But there are some things that you can't practice if you want to. If you don't have a talent foundation, you can only maintain it no matter how much you practice. There will be a ceiling.

Stephenson saw Li Liang coming in, stopped his practice, looked at Li Liang and said, "Hey Bruce, play two?"

Stephenson is a typical representative of the kind of "Although I can't beat you, but I just don't accept it".

It has been nearly a month since the training camp started, and Li Liang's strength is obvious to all.

The defensive level is superb, the offensive three-pointer is surprisingly accurate, the sneaking ability is first-class, and the court is very smart.

Pacers players feel that playing with Li Liang has improved their overall IQ.

Except Finsen.

He still felt that Li Liang was not strong enough, this guy played too stealthily.

What super long three-pointers, three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, stealing points at the basket, etc., they played too efficiently, too opportunistically, and not Man enough.

So Stephenson has been quite critical of Li Liang, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Since Granger left last season, the Pacers' locker room has been a mess.

The new Turner is completely unable to replace Granger's role in the locker room.

Although West has a tough temper, he lacks the ability to overcome rigidity with softness, and there are not many ways to deal with Stephenson.

So much so that after the trade, Stephenson and Turner even punched each other in training. Can this team have a good record?

In the summer, Turner became a free agent, left the Pacers, and switched to the Celtics.

Stephenson was unmoved by the five-year contract offered by Bird and wanted more.

It turned out to be a big deal, Li Liang came, Waiters came.

Waiters and Stephenson are in the same position and have similar styles. They are used as Stephenson's substitutes, and they are also a thorn.

Stephenson thought about it and signed with the Pacers.

But he has emotions in his heart, thinking that he is more than this price.

That's why he always wanted to provoke Li Liang and establish his "authority" in the team.

This brain is so simple, you still establish authority?

It's just to help Li Liang establish his authority.

Of course, Li Liang would not refuse this kind of stepping stone that came to his door.

Seeing Stephenson challenging himself, Li Liang said: "Wait a little longer, I want to warm up, and we will come back after the warm-up is over."

Stephenson agreed, and Li Liang spent more than 20 minutes warming up to activate his muscles.

He could feel that his body was full of explosive power.

This summer, he put on 15 pounds to give his body more punch.

Now, it's time to show off.

Half an hour later, many people had already arrived at the training hall.

Players, trainers, and coaches all came. Li Liang walked up to Stephenson with the ball and said, "Start?"

Stephenson was already ready. He pulled up his trouser legs, patted the outside of his thigh, and said, "Come on Bruce, I want to see what you are capable of."

Stephenson also specifically said: "Stop using your three-pointers, a real player should be able to get to the basket and score!"

Li Liang smiled, Stephenson's impression of himself must still be from the previous two seasons and the previous training.

Then I'll show you what I'm capable of!

Li Liang, who had been dribbling to find the rhythm, suddenly started.

This is a strong first step, and Li Liang himself can feel the huge pulling force on the upper and the friction between the sole and the floor.

A simple and direct breakthrough to the right, like a knight sprinting with a spear, Stephenson wanted to block it, the two bodies came into contact, and then Stephenson felt himself being pushed all the way in...

Li Liang's little bulldozer generally pushed Finsen all the way into the three-second zone, and then forced a close-range throw from the basket.

Compared with layups, Li Liang still prefers jump shots or float shots with sudden stops, which is more secure for him.

After Stephenson was propelled by Li Liang's huge propulsion, he wanted to take off to block the block, but he jumped up at all, and then fell to the ground when he was taken by Li Liang's upward take-off force.

Stephenson fell a little dazed, looked up at Li Liang, and thought, there really are two brushes.
