Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

(There is an Easter egg chapter video after this chapter.)

Li Liang was a little surprised to see this task.

System, you are a bit too much, you agreed to train me to be the strongest player in NBA history, why do you want me to be a coach?

It’s fine if I have experienced the addiction of being a coach in the task, but I still need to be a real coach.

Li Liang wondered if he had triggered the retirement task ahead of time.

This task should wait until after I retire.

It's a little too early to do it now.

But when he thought about his goals for the next season, Li Liang felt that this mission came at the right time.

After exiting the system, Li Liang didn't think too much.

This is Li Liang's greatest strength. He never thinks too much and focuses on the present moment.

After playing the Pacers at home, the Thunder experienced another rush in March.

Their competition with the Warriors has become more and more intense, with one victory after another.

But looking at the record table, the Warriors are also continuing to win.

Following the two teams are the Spurs, Lakers and Rockets.

Among them, the Spurs and the Lakers also have amazing winning percentages. In any other season, it is possible to reach the top of the division.

Looking at the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers also performed very well.

After adding McGee and JR-Smith, the Cavaliers' Big Three should not be underestimated.

But apart from the Cavaliers, the other teams in the East are temporarily out of shape.

The Raptors can wrestle with the Cavaliers, but it is estimated that they will not be able to help in the playoffs.

The rest are crooked melons and cracked dates, and the gap with the first echelon is too great.

In the history of the NBA, the last time a similar situation occurred was in the 1980s.

It's just that at that time, the roles of the East and the West were reversed. The Lakers in the West were thriving, and the heroes in the East were fighting for hegemony.

For example, in 1981, the three teams in the East had 60 wins, and the best record in the West was only 57 wins.

Today, the western hegemony has reached a fiery level, and it is very likely that two teams will win 70, and three or even four teams will win 60.

As for the East, the region's hopes once again rest on the shoulders of LeBron James.

By the day of March 18, the Thunder's record had reached 60 wins and 7 losses. With a period of time before the end of the season, it became the second team to break through 60 wins.

The first is still the Golden State Warriors. Before the 18th, they had a record of 61 wins and 6 losses.

Before entering April, the records of the two teams have exceeded 60 wins, which can only be said to be terrifying.

On the 19th, the Thunder flew to Indianapolis to challenge the Pacers away.

As soon as Li Liang got off the plane, he felt the enthusiasm of Indian City fans.

At the airport, many fans came to the scene to pick them up.

They held up signs that said, "Welcome back, Bruce."

For Indian City fans, this championship is too thirst-quenching and too important.

This was originally just an ordinary regular season, but because of Li Liang's arrival, it became special and grand.

On the way to the hotel by bus, when passing through the city center, Li Liang could see large and small posters related to Li Liang on both sides of the road, which were left over from last season's playoffs.

This is a spontaneous behavior of Indian City fans to show their welcome and commemoration to Li Liang.

Although Li Liang was still a little moved in his heart, he always felt that this way of commemoration was as if he had died...

On the 19th, the local media in Indiana specially invited Li Liang to conduct an interview, and the interview clips will be played during the game.

"How would you rate your year in Indiana?"

"Oh, this is the most important year of my career. It is said that the last championship of the three-peat is the most difficult. I think I understand it."

When the host heard this answer, he thought to himself, did you start pretending for the first question?

The most difficult thing is that the playoffs went smoothly. The Warriors were taken away 4:2 in the finals, and they lost a total of 4 games.

Where is the difficulty?

Can someone else's three-peat be the same as your three-peat?

Of course, the host could not say anything, and continued to ask questions with a smile.

"Do you miss being here?"

"Miss, the vegetables here are too cheap, cheaper than other places."

In this big rural area, the main producing area of ​​crops, can vegetables and food be cheap?

But you are a superstar multimillionaire, you miss here because vegetables and food are cheap?

The host knows that you can't talk about feelings with Li Liang, but you should talk about basketball.

"Which team do you think is stronger, last year's Pacers or this year's Thunder?"

This host is really a genius, and the questions he asks are amazing. No matter how Li Liang answers, it is a topic that attracts saliva.

Li Liang also paused and pretended to think about it. In fact, all interviews were scripted.

He had read the questions of this interview a long time ago, and had already figured out how to answer them.

"I think that this year's Thunder must be stronger."

"Why?"

"Because, this year, I am stronger."

...

At night, Indiana's Conseco Arena was full.

In the opening ceremony, when the away players were introduced, Li Liang came out second to last, and there was extremely warm applause and cheers at the scene, which lasted for more than two minutes.

As a result, Kevin Durant sat on the bench, got up and sat down for a while, not knowing when he should get up.

In the end, Li Liang took the microphone and thanked all the fans, and the opening ceremony was able to continue.

Durant made his final appearance, but there was no sound at all.

Durant couldn't help thinking, if one day I leave the Thunder, will I be treated the same when I return to Oklahoma City?

To be honest, this is the second time Li Liang has been treated like this.

It's impossible not to be moved.

In the past, the mainstream value of the NBA was one person, one city, and winning a championship for one city.

And Li Liang almost used his own power to show that it is true to be merciful everywhere, planting red flags all over the United States.

In fact, there is not much suspense in the game itself. The Pacers' lineup this year is too poor, so they are going for the lottery.

The point is that Li Liang will return, and the Pacers will present Li Liang with a championship ring.

In the first half, the Thunder led the Pacers by a big score of 73:56, which made the game lose suspense.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, the Pacers held a grand championship ring awarding ceremony for Li Liang on the spot.

Larry Bird personally put on the ring for Li Liang. This is Li Liang's third and the latest ring.

More than half a year has passed, and Li Liang still felt excited the moment he put on the ring.

A championship ring is the ultimate pursuit of an NBA player's career.

This cannot be replaced by any other honor.

After the ceremony, back in the locker room, Li Liang and his teammates showed off their third championship ring.

To be honest, except for Mike Brown, everyone else's eyes are full of envy.

None of these players in the Thunder has tasted the taste of a championship.

They were once very close to the championship, but lost in the hands of James.

And Bruce Lee stepped on James to win the championship every time.

Have to admit, this is the gap.

As the playoffs approached, Li Liang's playing time began to get longer and longer.

For example, in the second half, Li Liang would sometimes start directly instead of sitting on the bench.

In the playoffs, the rotation lineup will be reduced, and the time for the main players will be extended.

Players need to use the regular season to get out of the state as soon as possible.

There was not much suspense in the game against the Pacers. The Thunder easily defeated their opponents and won another victory.

After winning this game, the Thunder's record came to 61 wins and 7 losses, with 14 games left before the end of the regular season.

The coaching staff soon faced a question, that is, should they strive for the best record in history?

The Chicago Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses is considered unattainable. I didn't expect that two teams would have the opportunity to touch it this season.

And it is a real opportunity to touch it, not the kind of feeling promising in the first half of the schedule, but it is impossible to find it when the All-Star Game is approaching.

Now, the Thunder and the Warriors are chasing after each other, and it is bright for a while.

The playoffs are certainly out of the question, and the record is in sight.

Do you want to take a break, or continue to rush to the end and win the best in history.

This is the choice that the Thunder must face.
