"Sixty thousand dollars, sixty thousand dollars! Haha, I am rich this time, and all the expenses along the way have been settled!"

After the game, on the way back to the hotel, Wei Dazhi was a little over-excited and couldn't stop laughing.

This trip, car rental, gas, hotel fees, and other expenses add up to a lot.

Although Li Liang and Wei Dazhi's families are not short of money, Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting each bear their own expenses.

However, as students, without a fixed source of income, the money still caused them a lot of blood.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang made up all the expenses with one shot, and it was more than enough, so it was natural for him to be happy.

Zhu Shu looked at Li Liang with more admiration in his eyes. When he hit the shot, he was the hero of the Phillips Center and was cheered by tens of thousands of fans.

Even Bai Xiaoting didn't roll her eyes a few times towards Li Liang.

Li Liang could have collected the money for his own use, but he generously used it for travel expenses.

It seems that this guy is not as stingy as he imagined, but rather generous.

Seeing Wei Dazhi's obsessed look, Li Liang said disdainfully, "It's only 60,000 U.S. dollars. After paying the tax, I got 56,000 U.S. dollars. I will enter the NBA in the future. Isn't this a small amount of money? Besides, the money is What? Money is a bastard, you have to spend it when you get it, and it’s worse if you don’t spend it there.”

Wei Dazhi chuckled, and said, "I don't mind giving me two extra knives for this kind of butt wipes."

Wei Dazhi is a high-spirited family with a large family and owns real estate in China and the United States. It can be said that the family is rich.

But his parents have always been strict and lived a frugal life. They gave their son a fixed living allowance every year, and they refused to pay more than a penny.

Therefore, Wei Dazhi sometimes had no money to spend and had to go to work, and gradually developed a good habit of saving money.

The next day, the well-funded four had a fun day in Atlanta, visiting the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.

In the afternoon, they went to Zoo Atlanta again, and had a great time anyway.

Li Liang chose to relax these two days. Apart from returning to the hotel for fitness and finding a place to practice three-pointers, he did not enter the [Almighty King] system to accept tasks.

Doing tasks every night for nearly a month made him very tired.

He is going to rest and relax for another two days, and when he recovers, he will continue to improve his defense and three-pointers.

Leaving Atlanta and continuing south, they entered Florida, and the next stop was Orlando.

Now is the turn of spring and summer, and Florida, as a tourist destination on the south coast of the United States, is a good time to come and visit.

After arriving in Orlando on the 22nd, the four of them went to Disneyland together and spent two days in the world's largest Disneyland.

On the 25th, I went to the Amway Arena to watch the game between the Orlando Magic and the Charlotte Bobcats.

Unfortunately, the Magic's star center Dwight Howard was reimbursed due to injury and could not participate in this game.

Moreover, the Bobcats have already missed the playoffs, and the number of wins in the season is only 10. The Magic is also difficult to have the style of previous years, and the game is quite dull.

However, in the previous two games, Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting, who had been playing with mobile phones and taking selfies all the time, seemed to have a little interest in basketball, and began to watch seriously with Li Liang.

I also ask some naive questions from time to time, such as why I can't shoot the ball with both hands.

Li Liang explained patiently. As for Wei Dazhi, he continued to take pictures, post posts, chat and brag in his basketball group, completely ignoring the two girls around him who had just become interested in basketball.

In Wei Dazhi's words, he has been hurt emotionally, and it is impossible to recover within ten years.

He wants to put all his energy into basketball and become a basketball reporter.

Wei Dazhi still remembers when he was in middle school and high school, he thought that playing basketball would attract girls, so he started playing basketball.

Later, he really fell in love with basketball, and he also understood that girls just like to watch handsome guys play.

If you are not handsome, even if you fly into the sky, people will not pay attention to you!

If you think about it, basketball is better. It’s fun, and it doesn’t cost much. You don’t want to buy a house, and you won’t be betrayed.

The three days in Orlando were undoubtedly joyful. Li Liang got a full rest and felt more energetic.

So, that night, he entered the [Almighty King] system again to continue his upgrade journey.

He first checked his various data, and there was no decline compared with before, indicating that resting for two days would not affect his state.

On the contrary, in the [Physical Fitness] column, his [Endurance] index rose a bit.

It seems that sufficient rest and relaxation have allowed a certain reserve of physical fitness.

After a general inventory, Li Liang began to think, should he continue to improve his defensive ability, or should he strengthen the open three-pointer?

At present, his basic ability of perimeter defense is still relatively low, and there is a lot of room for improvement, and the difficulty should not be too great, and it can be completed in a short time.

And the three-point task has been promoted to the star level, it is estimated that it will be more difficult, and it will take more time to complete.

But tasks with high difficulty are also beneficial, with greater improvement and more generous rewards.

Moreover, the task of the three-point project is relatively small compared to the defensive ability.

Li Liang weighed it carefully, and decided to be conservative. Before entering the NBA, he must steadily improve and practice his defense well.

After entering the NBA, I will challenge those more difficult tasks and develop my own offensive skills.

After making the plan, Li Liang entered the [Defensive Ability] interface and chose the task of [Basic Defense from Outside Lines] again.

The surroundings gradually lit up again, and Li Liang was sent to the new mission site.

[Mission: Contain Odom's first show, time: November 2, 1999, location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, USA, against: Seattle Supersonics vs. Los Angeles Clippers, mission requirements: opposing rookie Lamar- Odom, let him score no more than 10 points, task reward: basic perimeter defense value +8, various perimeter defensive ability values ​​+5, a random ability value-added agent, task difficulty: normal]

Li Liang saw that it was the same type as the previous two missions. To prevent the star player from making his NBA debut, this time the object was changed to Lamar Odom.

The content of the task seems simple, don't worry about any assists, just keep his score below 10.

But Li Liang knew that the tasks in the system could not become easier and easier, the difficulty had been raised to normal, and the rewards had become more generous.

So in this game, Odom must have a wonderful debut performance, and Li Liang must contain him.

What Li Liang thought was right, Odom's debut in 1999 was extremely amazing.

The 6-9 forward had 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

This debut stat is also ranked number one in NBA history. There is a reason why Odom was called the "left-handed magician".

Li Liang looked at the clothes on his body. He put on the green jersey of the Seattle Supersonics.

Standing next to him was Gary Payton, who was chewing gum with his hips akimbo. He glanced at Li Liang and said, "Defend well, kid, you're not here to watch the ball."

Li Liang nodded. He had heard of Payton's name, the famous NBA impromptu rap master and trash talking machine.

Walk around the world with a big mouth, and dare to scold Jordan when he meets him.

Fortunately, in this game, Li Liang and Payton were teammates, so they didn't have to scold each other.

But even if he scolds Li Liang, he is not afraid, he thinks that he will not lose to anyone, and he may even get anger points.

A few days ago, Adelman had an anger value of 20, and after weighting it, he gave Li Liang 100 points, and his exchange value had reached 610 points.

The game started soon, Li Liang appeared as the team's starting small forward, and he replaced the team's "white trapeze" Brent Barry.

In terms of strength, the Clippers are far inferior to the Supersonics. This team, which is in the same city as the Lakers, has always been a big player in the league.

They held the No. 1 pick in 1998, missed Carter and Pierce, and chose Olowokandi, who was considered to be the next "Olajuwon".

Facts have proved that this so-called next so-and-so is a scam.

Olowokandi is of course no exception. In his rookie season, he did not have the worth of the No. 1 pick at all.

This is his second season, and he is still the Clippers' starting center. The Clippers still have hope for him.

In addition to this parallel center, No. 4 overall rookie Lamar Odom has become the starter, and the Clippers also have high hopes for him.

Li Liang set his sights on Odom, now he is definitely a rookie destroyer, and he will ravage rookies who have made a brilliant debut.

With the experience of the first two games, Li Liang gave Odom a special one-on-one service throughout the opening game.

He can only score 10 points, and he can only score one goal per quarter. The task is quite difficult.

Judging from the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Li Liang estimated that the Supersonics would lead by a large score early, and then play casually, and Odom would get the data more easily.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, Li Liang decided to continue to be a cheater on the offensive end.

Never hit a shot, never pass the ball, just do it when you get the ball, if you do it, you will miss it.

Anyway, the coach won't replace him easily, otherwise how can he complete the task.

Coincidentally, his coach in this game was George Karl again. In 1999, he was 48 years old and in his prime.

The game started, and the center forwards of both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle.

The Sonics' starting center was Vin Baker, a future alcoholic who was still one of the league's best low-post attackers.

The Clippers won the ball, the first offense and defense, and the Supersonics used man-to-man.

Li Liang remembered that before 2001, the league did not allow zone defense, only man-to-man defense.

While some teams covertly use zone double-teaming, most situations are man-to-man.

This provided convenience for Li Liang, he just had to keep an eye on his own people anyway.

Odom didn't think about attacking himself at the beginning of the game. The Clippers are not a strong team, they are weak, and they play more casually.

Derek Anderson took the lead, dribbled the ball around the outside twice, didn't find any good opportunities, and shot himself.

Missed in the middle distance, Vin Baker scored a backcourt rebound, and Payton took the ball to organize the Sonics' offense.

During the attack, Li Liang crouched in the bottom corner as always.

Now he feels that playing NBA games is quite simple. The defensive end stares at his own people, and the offensive end squats in the corner and it's over.

The Sonics played very traditionally in the opening game. Vin Baker asked for the ball in the low post, others opened up space, and Baker took the ball for singles.

Li Liang lay in ambush between the bottom corner on the left and 45 degrees, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Odom, who was facing him, focused all his attention on Baker. It seemed that the coach had ordered him to keep an eye on Baker before the game.

Baker poked in a few times in the low position, and the active Odom suddenly stepped forward to double-team. Baker immediately split the ball and passed the ball directly to Li Liang on the outside.

Li Liang saw this great chance to throw the ball, he didn't care about catching the ball, he pulled it up with his eyes closed and threw one.

Odom regained his senses and defended again, but Li Liang made a quick shot and didn't make any preparations at all, so he didn't plan to go in.

"Shua!"

The ball went in!

Li Liang couldn't believe his eyes, he hit a three-pointer with a casual throw!

"What the fuck, why did you get in? The one who promised to be a wave? The one who promised to be a hindrance?"

Li Liang looked at his palm in a daze, and Peyton on the side praised him: "You're a pretty boy."

For a player, if he shoots enough shots, the muscle movements are already memorized.

Unless you deliberately throw it crookedly, if you throw it casually, the probability of scoring is still quite high.

"No, no, no, you can't shoot indiscriminately later. This will widen the score and make it difficult to defend."

If George Karl knew Li Liang's thoughts off the court, he would probably give him 50 anger points.

Everything went well in the first quarter. After Li Liang made a three-pointer, the Supersonics quickly took the initiative.

The Clippers played pretty well. The defensive intensity of the two sides was not strong at the beginning, and there were back and forth. The Supersonics ended the first quarter at 29:27, leading by 2 points.

Odom didn't score any points under Li Liang's defense all the way.

Historically, when Odom played as a rookie, opponents would not target him.

The back slowly opened up and the game went smoothly. In addition, the Sonics led the score and the coach was George Karl, so naturally he let him go.

Now, Li Liang is like a fly around him at the beginning of the game. He has two games of experience in containing rookies, and Odom is a little bit stuck.

Li Liang was a little complacent, thinking that the task should be no big problem, and passed after three quarters.

With the first two missions as a base, he obviously felt that his defensive ability was stronger, his lateral movement speed was accelerated, he basically didn't lose much with others, and his judgment improved.

But in the second quarter, there was a change on the court, and the two sides began to rotate.

For the Sonics, Payton and Hollis-Grant were off the field and replaced by Xavier Maxwell and Barry. Li Liang remained on the field because Odom did not go down.

Without Grant, the Sonics lack a reliable inner frame.

With both sides on the bench, Odom began to dominate the Clippers' offense, and he played more flexibly with the ball in hand.

Although Odom is tall, he has guard-like ball handling skills, excellent passing skills and can shoot three-pointers.

His breakthrough is particularly sharp, not fast, has a good rhythm, and is very good at using his body.

Without Grant's protection, Li Liang faced Odom's sudden attack with the ball alone, and was beaten twice in a row.

Then the Sonics missed an attack, and Odom quickly counterattacked with the ball. He ran like a colt with his legs loose.

Li Liang chased after him frantically but failed to catch up. Odom dunked with his left hand vigorously, and Li Liang blocked the foul from behind.

Odom got to the free throw line, made a free throw, and scored seven points in the second quarter.

With seven points, Li Liang can only let Odom get 10 points at most, which is very difficult.

Sure enough, at the end of the second quarter, Odom and his teammates hit a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll jumper.

10 points! It basically declared that Li Liang's mission had failed.

Li Liang was panting heavily, unable to hide his frustration.

However, even if he failed, he still had to finish the second half.

Now it seems that this task is not so simple.
