Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

On October 31, the next morning after the game, Li Liang left home and rushed to the team's Los Angeles Airport.

After the opening game, the Lakers will play the second back-to-back game, and it will be an away game to challenge the Portland Trail Blazers.

At Los Angeles Airport, there is a VIP lounge specially prepared for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Because we won last night, everyone is in a good mood.

If it's normal, their boss Jerry Buss will go with the team to watch the game away.

But old Bath's health was deteriorating, and he could no longer stand the fatigue of traveling.

Both Buss Jr. and Jeanne Buss accompanied the old man and did not go to the away game with the team.

With the wonderful performance in the first game, Li Liang's status in the team has improved visibly.

First of all, when entering the waiting room, the staff will take the initiative to greet him.

Prior to this, whether Li Liang was training or playing preseason games with the team, the attitude of the trainers and staff was relatively indifferent.

But this is also normal. The personnel of NBA teams have changed a lot. They have worked on a team for more than ten years, and they welcome and send too many players. It is normal to be indifferent to a second-round pick.

As long as you perform well on the field and your position is stable, people's faces will naturally improve.

Then, old players like Nash and Ci Shiping stopped letting him carry bags.

When he went to Las Vegas for the preseason, Li Liang had to carry bags for Ci Shiping and others.

Now this honorable work is all done by Thackeray.

Of course, Li Liang still had to carry his own bag.

Finally, Li Liang can choose a seat he likes on the plane.

Although the Lakers are a well-known wealthy family in the league, the Bass family is really poor.

Not only is the training hall in the basement, but flying to an away game is also an airport charter flight.

They signed an agreement with the airline to rent United Airlines planes for modification and fly to all parts of the United States for away games.

For example, some teams whose owners are local tyrants, such as the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers, all have their own team planes. There is no need to wait at the airport, and they can directly board the plane and wait for take-off instructions.

On the chartered flight, Li Liang chose a relatively front seat and sat next to Nash.

The seat in the last row of the plane is always Kobe's. He likes to stay alone in the back and pretend to be quiet.

Listen to music, read newspapers, look like an old man.

I think when Sun Yue was with the Lakers, he sat with Kobe on the plane.

Li Liangcai didn't want to sit with Kobe.

Playing with him is fun, chatting with him is boring.

I don't read much, I don't have much culture, I only know how to play basketball, but I can't chat with each other.

In comparison, he still prefers to sit with players with a higher cultural bench like Nash and Gasol.

Recently, Li Liang has been doing organizational and passing tasks, so he wants to ask Nash a lot of questions.

Unlike the stalking and clever defense, the offensive organization requires more patience, wisdom, and abundant experience.

These are what Li Liang lacks.

Of course, he is not in a hurry, and he doesn't expect to improve his passing and organization to a relatively high score in a short period of time.

Subsequent passing tasks are too challenging for him at present.

The so-called pass and control are not separated, his ball handling skills are not up to the requirements, and it is too difficult to complete the assists in the task game.

Point forwards like John Johnson and Havlicek who don't need to handle the ball are his learning objects.

On the plane, Li Liang and Nash chatted about organizing offense.

Nash was also very interested in Li Liang's shooting and three-pointers, and asked him about his shooting preferences.

"Well, my favorite position is the left corner, and the front is also good. I shoot from a long distance, and it's not a problem to be one or two steps away from the three-point line. As long as there is no one in front of me. The receiving point... right The chest can be slightly lower, I don’t aim too much, it’s all about feeling.” Li Liang answered one by one.

This is Nash's habit as a point guard.

He needs to understand the offensive characteristics of each teammate, especially the shooter who relies on rhythm.

A comfortable and appropriate pass can greatly improve the shooter's shooting percentage.

Donyell Marshall shot a career-best 53% from the field in two seasons after he arrived in the Utah Jazz because of Stockton feeding the ball.

In terms of passing assists, Nash is no worse than Stockton.

Through his usual training, preseason games, and the first game, he has seen that Li Liang is a high-quality pitcher.

He has all the qualities of a shooter.

One of them is the most important and the deadliest.

It is that he is unusually calm and his hands are unexpectedly hard.

Being able to hit a key three-pointer in the first game of his career is not something everyone can do.

If Li Liang knew that Nash thought so, he would definitely laugh and tell Nash that this is not the first time for me!

I have rich NBA experience, don't want it.

Maybe I will meet you at the peak in the system tasks in the future, and I will definitely say hello to you then.

The plane arrived in Portland three hours later, and the Lakers and their group took the bus to the hotel where they were staying.

The game will start at 7:30 p.m. PT.

Therefore, the Lakers had no chance to train at all. After arriving at the hotel, they rested on the spot and prepared for the evening game.

The team played away games, with a total of more than 40 players, coaches, and staff.

Everyone is divided into a room, and the players' rooms are specially modified.

Needless to say, the beds are all super big beds, the bathrooms are enlarged and widened, the doors are heightened, and there are fitness equipment on the floors.

The related facilities of the Portland Hotel are still very good. Li Liang slept for a while on the soft bed.

He entered the system to check his runes.

In August and September, while improving through the ability system, he also completed several small tasks released by the achievement system.

At present, he has opened 5 rune slots and has 9 runes even after doing missions and purchasing.

Among them, one blue LV2 offense-feeling rune, four blue LV1 offense-feeling runes, one red LV1 defense-prediction rune, one red LV1 defense-focus rune, yellow One LV1 energy stamina-rune, one yellow LV1 energy-energy rune.

In addition, there are two rune fragments, one more, and another rune can be upgraded.

Before the start of the game, Li Liang thought about it, five rune slots, and three offensive-feeling runes were installed.

In this way, the feel can be improved by 2%, which may not seem like much, but it is better than nothing.

If this can increase the shooting percentage by 2%, then maybe one more goal can be scored in a game.

Just cast more.

With two slots left, Li Liang is equipped with yellow energy-physical and energy-vigor runes.

To be honest, Li Liang didn't know the essential difference between physical fitness and energy.

The stamina rune is said to increase stamina, while helping to improve touch and defensive strength.

Energy runes affect defensive predictions and concentration. They are all positive anyway, and there is no harm in pretending.

Li Liang felt that the journey was exhausting, and he was back to back, so he had to refresh himself a little.

A few hours later, the entire Lakers team came to the away game, Portland's famous Rose Garden Stadium.

Along the way, Bryant's face was very serious.

As he walked through the player tunnel into the locker room, he kept his face cold.

Because the Rose Garden is really not Kobe's blessed land.

Since entering the league in 1996, he has played 28 games in the Rose Garden in more than ten years.

But only won 5 of them, and lost the other 23 games.

This piece of red thorny roses really made Kobe very disliked.

Compared to Li Liang, of course he didn't feel much. Today he didn't wear the coat designed by Bai Xiaoting for him, but only ordinary Lakers sportswear.

Even so, the reporter still favors this young man with a stunning debut.

There was a local Portland photographer with a newspaper in his hand, followed Li Liang and said, "Bruce, Bruce Lee, please wait a moment, please take a look, please take a look."

Li Liang stopped and looked at the newspaper in his hand. It was the Los Angeles Times.

He found out that he asked Kevin Ding to take a photo of him at the Staples Center yesterday after the game.

He looked cool in clothes designed by Bai Xiaoting.

Li Liang is quite satisfied with his image.

The reporter said: "Hi, I'm Nike's photographer Ned, I want to ask, what brand are these shoes you are wearing?"

It turned out that this was a photographer from Nike, because many NBA players wear Nike shoes, so Nike will have photographers who go to the stadium to take pictures as promotional photos of sneakers.

Moreover, Portland is the headquarters of Nike, so it is normal to have a photographer.

This question stumped Li Liang. He scratched his head and said, "Well... a friend of mine designed the shoes himself, without a brand."

"Oh, really?" The photographer was a little surprised.

Li Liangdao: "Of course it is true. My clothes are also designed by her. Her name is Skylar White and she works as a fashion designer in Los Angeles. Well, she is very good."

After speaking, Li Liang entered the locker room.

He thought to himself, is this pair of shoes that look like they have stepped on shit really that good-looking?

Why don't you feel it at all?
