Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

In fact, Li Liang has always played very well, and it can even be said to be quite amazing.

It's just that the media and fans often evaluate a player with very subjective wishes.

When Li Liang first entered the NBA, as a Chinese player, he could score key goals in the game and score 15 points in a game. It's Li Liang's news, highlights, and post-match interviews.

Some young Chinese fans wish they could be happy for two or three days.

The first time he won the championship, with 60 points in a single game, the Internet exploded immediately. The news network broadcast, became famous all over the country, and was recorded in history. Until now, people are talking about it, and it was almost a movie.

After that, Li Liang's performance became more and more stable and excellent, and there were two or three champions.

But the threshold of fans and the media is slowly getting higher and higher.

To score 20 points in a game in the regular season, that is to say that he played abnormally and only scored 20 points?

30 points barely passed, tepid, neither happy nor too happy.

Only after 40 points do I feel a little interesting, I can be a little happier, and I can reserve a seat on the headline page.

50 points, 60 points, you will be more excited, but the excitement will not last long, and the media will not have any special reports.

In terms of scoring, if Li Liang wants to cause a sensation again, he can only work hard towards Kobe's 81 points and Chamberlain's 100 points.

And for the Thunder fans, the regular season is basically "wake up to another big win", without much expectation.

The strength of the Big Three is too strong, and this Big Three is not the kind of entrepreneurial group that "I haven't won the championship for a few years, let's get together and do a big business", which lacks drama.

Li Liang himself has won three consecutive championships as a single player. He came to the Thunder like a period drama with the main theme of "cadres from the province go to the countryside to guide the work of poor counties and complete the task of poverty alleviation". Can fans and the media love to watch it?

Judging from the data and performance on the court, even if he is a substitute, Li Liang is still first-class.

Coupled with Thunder's impressive record, he has always been ranked second in the personal MVP ranking.

But there is often an insurmountable distance between the second and the first, and this distance is the prejudice and aesthetic fatigue in people's minds.

If Li Liang wants to win another MVP, he must let his own results, statistics, performance, and team record be so hard that prejudice and aesthetic fatigue will fail.

And another way is to give everyone something new, such as... a lore, a wonderful critical moment savior.

At this time, the cooperation of teammates is needed.

The teammates are too strong, and they clock in in three quarters. The fans want to sleep after watching it.

Teammates acted too much and ended up losing the game. No matter how well you played, losing the game is always useless.

From this point of view, the Thunder's idea of ​​resting Durant and keeping Westbrook in the rotation is quite correct.

Most likely it was Mike Brown's idea again.

After defeating the Pistons, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma City to have a day to repair.

Li Liang spent a whole day resting and sleeping well. As the playoffs approached, he gradually stopped playing system tasks and had to devote himself fully to the real game.

Compared with the regular season MVP, for Li Liang, the more attractive honor is the unprecedented four consecutive championships.

Phil Jackson once said that three or two championships is a limit.

Indeed, since the insurmountable 8 consecutive championships of the Boston Celtics in the 1960s, no team can win more than three consecutive championships.

Eight consecutive championships is not only a manifestation of the greatness of the team and players, but also the factors of the times. After all, there were too few NBA teams at that time and they were not competitive enough.

After the beginning of modern basketball, the two teams that achieved three consecutive championships were both coached by Phil Jackson. It can be said that he is most qualified to say this.

He has said that three consecutive championships is the limit, which shows that four consecutive championships are really too difficult and difficult to reach the blue sky.

But that's for the team, for the players... Except for those people in the Celtics period, there is such a number one person in the league, and this person is the head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr.

Cole won three consecutive championships with the Bulls in the 1996-1998 season, and then signed with the San Antonio Spurs after the Bulls disintegrated in the summer of 1998.

Immediately, the Spurs won the championship in the shrinking season of 1999, and won the championship ring for four consecutive seasons, which can be said to be a proper winner in life.

What Li Liang has to do is different. He wants to win the championship as the core of the team.

This is the real four consecutive personal championships.

...

On March 31, the Thunder ushered in a fierce battle at home-the Los Angeles Clippers.

Although the Clippers' strength has not improved in the past two years, they still cannot make up for the big hole of losing Li Liang.

But the basic structure of Paul Green-Jordan still allows them to maintain a strong team.

Especially Griffin, he has improved and grown in the past two seasons, and he is very healthy without too many injuries.

Paul has various minor injuries, and this little man has been strong and active on the court.

Of course, his mentality is much better than in the past, even though he often frowns, but generally speaking, he has no worries about playing.

With the championship in hand, for him, if he can win another championship, he will earn it.

Rivers also brought Paul Pierce and Jeff Green to the Clippers' forward line, and got his son Austin Rivers on his team.

Regardless of the fact that the NBA is a passionate sports league, from a purely work and business perspective, this is a field with high work income, vague work thresholds, and serious small circles.

For those coaches and managers, look up their family backgrounds. Most of them are second or third generations. Their fathers and grandparents work in the basketball circle. Union work.

The same is true for players, but being a player requires a bit of talent, and it just matters, even if you are Jordan's son.

Austin Rivers was also a well-known national guard in high school.

Entering the NBA with a high pick is a bit unacceptable, and he didn't play very well.

After coming to the Clippers, because of having a father who is the head coach, he got more playing time for leveling.

In this game, Paul was absent due to injury, so many people think that there is not much suspense.

I didn't know that the game was very intense.

Austin Rivers, who replaced Paul in the starting lineup, exploded from the outside.

He made 7 of 9 three-pointers and 12 of 19 two-pointers.

This kind of offensive performance, you may not be able to play it even if you let Paul come.

The two sides played with sparks flying, and the Thunder and the Clippers, who were neatly organized by the Big Three, launched a confrontational battle.

The Thunder led by 7 points in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, Rivers hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside and the Clippers successfully overtook.

In the third quarter, Li Liang made his debut and played a wave of offensive shock waves with Durant to widen the point difference.

The Clippers played very tenaciously, and both Rivers and Crawford's shots from the outside were scary.

Perhaps it was because no one had hoped for the Clippers before the game, so the Clippers players played very relaxed.

And once you relax, you will perform better and shoot more accurately.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers once approached or even overtook the score.

At this moment, Li Liang finally began to unleash all his energy.

When Durant missed two jump shots, Li Liang first blocked Rivers in defense.

Then, a mid-range jumper hit, and in the last minute, the score was tied.

The Clippers called a timeout. After returning, Li Liang caused another offensive foul by Griffin while defending.

Then in the counterattack, he broke into the basket after a three-point fake, and made an emergency stop jumper and hit the board.

But the Clippers were very tenacious. Crawford hit a super long-range three-pointer under extremely high difficulty, leaving only 5.8 seconds for the Thunder, which almost killed the game.

Donovan called a timeout, but finally decided to hand the ball to Li Liang.

And Li Liang lived up to expectations, facing the Clippers double team, Kobe showed his demeanor.

Just don't pass the ball, just want to shoot, the difficult ultra-long three-pointer after the left wing catches the ball at 45 degrees, and hit the board!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang himself was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and jumped onto the technical stage amidst the cheers that shook the sky.

Because he didn't use any props or skills, he threw the ball by his own feeling!

The Clippers were left with 1 second.

There is no miracle anymore, the Clippers missed the last attack and the game is over.

At home, the Thunder narrowly beat the Clippers by 2 points at 117:115, continuing their winning streak.

And Li Liang's performance is getting hotter and hotter.
