Li Liang said in his heart, it turns out that as long as he enters this barbecue restaurant, he can trigger the next plot.

Why didn't he say it earlier, he had been dawdling in the mission for a long time, and he had almost figured out the road conditions in San Francisco.

Back to reality, if he didn't play basketball, he would have absolutely no problem going to San Francisco to be a taxi driver like India's Asan.

Then, Li Liang's attention was put on the giant tower, and Li Liang quickly recognized who it was.

"Isn't this Nate Thurmond?"

It's not because Li Liang has rich knowledge of basketball history, but because Li Liang met this person in the mission.

In the summer, when Li Liang was improving his inside defense and shot-blocking ability, one of his tasks was to take the place of Nate Thurmond in the game, against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and let him block Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's three shots in the game.

This made Li Liang so hard to die, let Lao Tzu cover Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with three caps?

With Jabbar's height and wingspan, and he still plays hooks that ignite the sky every day, where can he block shots?

I'm not Chamberlain.

Li Liang gave up after hitting him twice, it was too difficult.

But through this task, Li Liang also got to know this former basketball behemoth, a black center with great energy on the defensive end.

He once played for the Golden State Warriors and opened a barbecue restaurant in San Francisco after retiring.

I didn't expect it to be this one.

In 1981, Thurmond was 40 years old and slightly bald.

But the figure is maintained very well, and the arm muscles under the short-sleeved shirt are quite strong.

Li Liang looked at him, and he looked at Li Liang.

"Hey, your meat is going to burn, turn it over." Thurmond looked at the only customer in the store and reminded him aloud.

Li Liang quickly lowered his head to see that the meat on the grill was already smoking, so he quickly turned it over.

Then, Thurmond came over and sat down in front of Li Liang, and the two began to chat.

Li Liang was happy to chat with him, he knew that the next task must have something to do with him.

After talking casually for a while, the topic quickly shifted to basketball.

Obviously, there is a basketball next to Li Liang's seat.

Thurmond himself is a retired NBA superstar, so why don't you talk about basketball.

"Finish? Are you going to play golf in the afternoon?" Thurmond asked with concern.

"Play, but... it seems difficult to find a venue, do you know where I can play?" Li Liang asked deliberately, isn't this a chance for you to hook me up.

Thurmond smiled and said, "Haha, there are actually many places where you can play in San Francisco, such as in my backyard. There is an open field with a basket inside."

When Li Liang heard it, what he was waiting for was your words.

Sure enough, Li Liangyi agreed, and the subtitles appeared in front of him:

[Task: Big Nate sparring. Task content: Learn insider skills with Thurmond on the basketball court of the barbecue restaurant. Task reward: Aggressiveness +5, Task difficulty: Rookie. 】

Li Liang saw that the content of this task was a little bit bad, not because he thought it was difficult, but because this task was the same as the previous dribbling task, only the content was mentioned but not the requirements, so how could it be considered as completing the task?

According to the routines of some martial arts novels, if you meet an expert outside the world to practice martial arts, you generally need to complete the tasks given by the expert outside the world, or defeat the expert outside the world, and then you can become a teacher.

Let Li Liang beat Thurmond?

If it were him in reality, Li Liang would say, "I want to hit ten!"

But he couldn't do it in this mission. His small physique hadn't been crushed by the 40-year-old Thurmond.

He is a serious NBA star, and Li Liang's game skills and physical fitness in the mission are still far behind.

No matter, let's practice first.

For Li Liang, the greatest significance of this mission now is to arouse his vigorous basketball enthusiasm.

"Okay, then I'll go to your small yard to practice. Please teach me about post-up singles and inside defense!"

...

The time has entered February, and the NBA has entered the sprint stage of the schedule before the All-Star Game.

In the first two games in February, the Thunder defeated the Magic and Wizards respectively.

But both of these two games were quite thrilling, and both sides fought to the last moment.

Donovan found that each team has gradually found a strategy to deal with Li Liang's sixth man rotation.

They will start the rotation in advance, and generally start the rotation in the middle of the first and third quarters.

The method of early rotation, multiple rotations, and spreading out the playing time of the main players has continuously weakened Li Liang's power to lead the second team.

At the same time, to speed up the pace of the game, I would rather play against the Thunder and fight for the touch, and not fall into positional warfare and the Thunder's defense.

In the battle against the Magic, Oladipo had an amazing performance of 37 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds in a single game.

It wasn't until the end that Westbrook scored 2+1 on a key goal that the Thunder sealed the victory.

Now that all the teams are good, Li Liang must be locked up, and all three players can be locked up.

Durant also needs to be watched, and then it is best to let Westbrook go.

Let him attack with the ball, maybe he will blow himself up.

Of course, the Magic underestimated Westbrook a bit.

In the absence of targeted defense, his impact ability is superstar level.

But in general, the Thunder seems to have encountered some bottlenecks in the regular season, and it is becoming more and more difficult to win the game.

On February 6, the Thunder team flew to Oakland to challenge the Warriors away.

In this game, the Thunder was targeted by the Warriors, from the audience to the referee, from the players to the coaches.

Of course Li Liang was most targeted.

After his appearance at the end of the first quarter, he was called for a defensive foul as soon as he came up.

Li Liang felt bad at the time, discussed with the referee on duty, and asked him, "Are you trying to mess with me? Don't you want us to win?"

Of course the referee denied it, saying that you have committed a foul, so please control the scale.

But the referee spoke better than they played, and started their performance again.

It's not just for Li Liang, but for the entire Thunder, especially Thunder's insiders.

The last game has proved that when the Thunder faced the Warriors, regardless of the size of the insiders, they were actually at a disadvantage.

If the Thunder can take advantage of the height of the interior, apply it to the offense, and plug the loopholes in the defense, then the Thunder will be more confident against the Warriors.

As a result, when the referee blew it, the Thunder almost lost their insiders, let alone their advantage.

Adams made four fouls in the first half, Kanter made three fouls, and Li Liang made two fouls.

The Thunder trailed the Warriors by 5 points at halftime.

In the second half, the referee turned the whistle and began to call the Warriors fouls.

As soon as the third quarter came up, when Curry helped defend Durant, the referee blew his whistle and fouled.

Curry spat out his braces, his face full of helplessness, why couldn't he control my hand?

Because of his slightly inferior physical fitness, Curry will inevitably have some small moves in defense.

On weekdays, the referee will turn a blind eye and close his eyes, but when the referee needs to master the balance, his small movements will become pigtails.

I don't know if it's because it's a focus match, but the referee's performance in this game is very eye-catching.

The first half favored the home team, but in the second half it favored the visiting team.

It made the players on both sides and the fans on the scene dissatisfied, and it also made the game far less exciting and intense than the Christmas game.

But the Warriors still played better tonight, and Cole responded by also adopting a 10-man rotation.

The forward line composed of Iguodala, Batum, Barnes, and Green kept besieging Li Liang and Durant.

At the last moment, the ball was still given to Westbrook, and he missed a forced three-pointer from the outside, and the team lost the opportunity to close the score.

The Warriors defeated the visiting Thunder at 115:110 at home by 5 points, giving the Thunder their fifth loss.

The Warriors returned to the top of the league with a record of 45 wins and 4 losses.

After the game, Li Liang was angry and thought, we will see the real chapter in the playoffs.

Now in the regular season, Li Liang basically no longer uses any props. There is really no need to waste playing in the Thunder.

Seventy percent of the constant speed state is enough.

But now Li Liang is more worried about the tasks in the system.

This product is now like playing a game, a little fascinated.

As soon as the game was over, he was thinking, "How long will I be playing on that broken basket in the barbecue shop?"
