Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

On January 1st, New Year's Day, Li Liang spent the New Year with Zhu Shu in Indiana.

Wei Dazhi and Bai Xiaoting both came from Los Angeles, and the four good friends welcomed the arrival of 2015 together on a farm in the outskirts of Dayin Village.

Time flies, since Li Liang decided to join the NBA, three years have passed.

The fate of the four people has undergone great changes, but their friendship remains forever.

For example, Bai Xiaoting continued to look at Li Liang in various ways, even though he has become the most famous basketball player in the United States, in Bai Xiaoting's eyes, Li Liang is still not as handsome as Kobe.

"What's so handsome about Kobe? Huh? He's not dark, but he's bald! You like bald? Of course, he's at most a little handsomer than me. I have no doubts about that, but I don't agree with it."

"Hmph~ Don't be ashamed to speak out, you are already out of breath, do you know that?"

"What? I'm only in the third grade, how come I've passed away? Kobe is only passed away, okay?"

"Do you understand what aesthetic fatigue is? You have taken everything you should have, and everyone has no sense of expectation for you, do you understand? Didn't you see that your jersey sales are declining now? The Pacers' ratings , Except in the Indiana region and China, there has been no significant progress in other places. You have very few live broadcasts in the United States. Why do you think it is? It’s not that your top brand is not attractive enough. Also, whose shoes are sold by Under Armour? The best? It’s Curry! You’re not even Under Armour’s best shoe seller.”

What Bai Xiaoting said was well-founded, and Li Liang didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Li Liang suddenly became angry, regardless of whether he was still a superstar, Kobe's former teammates, and began to recite poems:

"Boss tried his best, and he is not to blame for the loss. He hit five on the field, and scored thirty plus. Looking at his teammates, they are purely fighting five scum..."

This is a limerick that Chinese fans used to black Kobe, it seems that Li Liang is really impatient.

Looking at the league, only Bai Xiaoting and Crawford can make Li Liang anxious.

Zhu Shu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, what are you doing, whoever hates you, you hate Kobe? Why are you like a child?"

Li Liang is now whoever hacks me, I will hack Kobe.

Sitting across from Li Liang, Wei Dazhi silently recorded: Bruce Lee was celebrating and chatting with friends at home in the new year, and there was a dispute over a disagreement, breaking the inside news of the Lakers back then, and pointing out Kobe’s various dominance behaviors during the championship season...

"Hey, what are you writing?" Li Liang stopped reciting poems and leaned over to ask Wei Dazhi.

"Ah? No, I'll just write some essays... don't grab them! Essays! Just essays!"

...

After celebrating the New Year with his friends, Li Liang returned to the team, and the Pacers began their expedition in 2015.

In the new year, the whole team will immediately throw themselves into a round of away games.

First stop, Milwaukee.

Milwaukee in January was still very cold. Like Indiana, it is a hot spot for basketball, but it is indeed a small ball market. The arrival of Li Liang made the attendance rate of the arena very good.

There used to be a Chinese player here, namely Yi Jianlian.

Although he did not perform satisfactorily, Yi Jianlian is by no means just sitting on the bench.

He also played Yi Xuanfeng in the Bucks, but unfortunately because of injuries, he was injured every time he got better.

After all, the intensity of the NBA is quite high, and injuries can indeed ruin a player.

This trace of Chinese plot is stimulated with the arrival of Li Liang.

Many fans at the scene held Chinese slogans, some were welcoming, some were joking, and some were mocking.

Although Bai Xiaoting mocked Li Liang's decline in popularity during the New Year, the actual situation is that after Li Liang came to the Pacers, the overall ratings and fan attendance of the Eastern Conference teams have increased.

It's just that the Pacers' exposure rate is relatively small, and it feels like Li Liang's popularity has declined.

Anyway, in China, Li Liang's popularity is still unrivaled, and all the stars combined are not enough for him to play alone.

Li Liang felt the enthusiasm of the Milwaukee fans, but he still hoped that the Bucks fans would treat him less and contribute some anger points.

From this point of view, Jazz fans are the most popular with Li Liang. Unfortunately, in the East, he can only go to Salt Lake City once a season.

Also in the north, the fighting power of the Bucks fans did not satisfy Li Liang.

The game starts at seven thirty in the evening.

The Bucks' home court has a new floor this year, using a retro triangular pattern floor, which is the floor CCTV of the Bucks in the 1980s, and the LOGO in the middle has also been changed.

The Bucks' starters include center Pachulia, forward John O'Brien, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo, guards Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton.

The Bucks originally had Parker as a role model this year, but Parker was injured and unable to participate in this game.

It is not good news for the Bucks, because Parker's injury is a severe knee cruciate ligament tear, a serious injury that will affect the player's career, which casts a shadow over the Bucks' reconstruction.

For the Pacers, George Hill has completely returned, and the starting lineup has stabilized. McGee, Li Liang, Granger, Smith and Hill, this is a fairly effective and flexible lineup.

At the beginning of the game, McGee first touched the ball in the jump ball!

But he gave the ball to his opponent, Brandon Knight's hands...

Li Liang glared at McGee, "If you are not sure, you might as well not jump, I can win the ball without jumping!"

The Bucks attacked for the first time. After two screen passes from the outside, the ball was given to O'Brien in the high post. O'Brien faced Li Liang, and some mid-range jumpers with some stockpiles missed.

The Pacers' first attack, organized by Hill, was given to Li Liang in a high position.

Li Liang stood at the top of the arc, Granger walked the baseline and cut to the basket, Li Liang passed the ball to Granger.

The Bucks defended the basket very tightly. Granger then sent the ball to the outside and gave it to JR-Smith at 45 degrees on the right. Smith missed a three-pointer.

But Smith's shooting space has been completely opened up.

Because Li Liang's defensive appeal is too strong.

It's a pity that Smith's opening touch was not good and he missed a hit.

Li Liang glared at Smith, and Smith replied, "I'll try!"

... Li Liang shook his head, and wanted to hear Smith say "I'm sorry I didn't vote well", it seemed that he was thinking too much.

You try it, you continue to try it.

Li Liang has now discovered that the hair dryer can only deal with normal people.

It's no use dealing with people who are unreasonable, illogical, and have very different brain circuits.

For example, Crawford among the referees, among the players... Let alone, the Pacers came three times at once, which is really a crime.

Then Brandon Knight's breakthrough layup was interfered by McGee and missed. The ball flew out of the boundary and the Pacers had the ball.

This time Li Liang didn't pass the ball again. He received Hill's pass on the left and used McGee's cover to force a breakthrough from the middle!

Li Liang was defended by Antetokounmpo. Li Liang was wearing a [Man of Steel] and crushed Antetokounmpo all the way in. After hitting the three-second zone, he stopped and shot a jumper, hit it, and scored two points.

Antetokounmpo is tall and has long arms, and he wanted to block Li Liang, but he was so pressed that he couldn't jump up at all.

The Greek lad felt the huge gap in power.

Li Liang's body was already very strong, and in addition to wearing a body of steel, he looked like a tiger.

The Bucks still missed the offense. Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and counterattacked with the ball.

Still Antetokounmpo, Li Liang continued to rely on his body. He accelerated to drive away the defender, went to the basket and was double-teamed, and then passed the ball back to Granger who was keeping up.

Granger dunks with both hands!

The Bucks had some trouble opening the offense, and their shooting touch was terrible.

The first few shots were missed.

Three minutes into the game, the Bucks still didn't score.

Aside from the poor touch, the Pacers started off really well defensively.

Vogel and Mike Brown, after repeated arguments, finally combined "man-to-man" and oppressive defense.

The method of combination is also simple, other people defend alone, Li Liang decides whether to double-team, how to double-team, and when to double-team!

Anyway, double-teaming is only Li Liang's business, and the others try not to rotate.

This gave Li Liang enough autonomy to command and judge on the defensive end.

Li Liang has become the team's defensive hub from the top defensive player in the Lakers and Clippers.

This role change is crucial to Li Liang's career, which means that he will truly grow into a pillar of a team, more pillar than any backcourt player.

This is why Mike Brown always wanted Li Liang to go inside.

Only the inside can have enough influence on the defensive end.

Brown wants to build Li Liang into a unique, offensive and defensive player, Ultraman on the court!

Li Liang understood Brown's painstaking efforts, but it was really tiring to play inside! It is also tiring to run around on the defensive end to block eye-catching!

Fortunately, Granger's recovery put Li Liang under a lot of pressure on the offensive end.

During the counterattack, Granger rushed to the basket and missed, but McGee got an offensive rebound and passed the ball to Li Liang on the outside.

Li Liang catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer without hesitation, and hits it again!

In the opening game, the Pacers beat the Bucks 7:0. The Bucks missed a goal in the first three minutes.

Kidd got up from the bench and called a timeout.

The Bucks need to make some adjustments on offense.
