After all, it was just a task of ordinary difficulty. Li Liang made a few three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets established a lead.

In fact, the Nuggets have already won this game in history, beating the Lakers by one point 140:139.

The whole team felt explosive, and they played against the Lakers and defeated their opponents at home.

With the addition of Li Liang's firepower, it would be unreasonable not to win this match.

After winning this game, Li Liang's [Basic Pass] was successfully raised to 50 points, and his short pass ability also improved.

Li Liang suddenly felt that the task of passing the ball was not as difficult as he thought before!

It's August now, if you do some tasks seriously, maybe you can raise it to more than 80 points soon?

Li Liang thought very well, but the system quickly taught him to be a man.

After completing another mission and increasing [Basic Pass] to 60 points, the mission began to fail.

What he is facing is a task called "Price's Peak", which requires him to replace the Cavaliers point guard Mark Price, lead the Cavaliers to victory over their opponents, and send 20 assists.

20 assists!

This is not a small amount!

Mark Price, one of the few Cavaliers players before LeBron James, sent 20 assists in a single game this time in his entire career.

It is really difficult for Li Liang to reach the pinnacle of a star player's career suddenly.

There are only a handful of people in NBA history who can give 20 assists in a single game.

What's more, things like assists are often beyond your control. If your teammates are not strong enough to score, you really have nothing to do.

Li Liang tried many times, but he was still unable to achieve the mission goal.

He flipped through the tape of the Cavaliers game and flipped through the highlights of Price's game.

He found that the Cavaliers in 1990, and Price at that time, were very close to the way he played in terms of style and style of play.

The Cavaliers in 1990 began to try the new weapon of three-pointers.

They ranked first in the league in three-pointers and shooting percentage in a single game during the season, and successfully entered the playoffs that season.

But the style of play is similar, he can shoot three-pointers, but Li Liang can't pass.

Because Li Liang found out that he can't pass three-point assists!

Li Liang's assists in the regular season and the playoffs last season mainly came from the top of the arc, some through balls, ground passes, and some short passes when transitioning from offense to defense.

And if you find an open space for a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, pass the ball to let your teammates catch and shoot, sorry not.

Because Li Liang himself is the one who catches and shoots the ball, not the one who passes it.

There is a big difference between receiving and passing the ball.

Li Liang didn't have that kind of vision and tactical map on the court.

The result is that he has no way to replace Price to sort out the Cavaliers' offense, let alone send 20 assists.

Li Liang's [basic pass] was stuck at 60 points.

But Li Liang's mentality was okay, there was no explosion, and he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry for the time being.

Put aside the task of [basic pass] first, and hone the detailed techniques of [long pass], [short pass], [hang pass], and [ground pass].

Also opened the course of [passing awareness], and learned the basics of basketball tactics from the NCAA's grandfather, Coach Fogg Allen.

Fogg Allen is the first-generation coach in the American basketball world. He has coached the University of Kansas since 1905 and is the ancestor of many basketball coaches.

Including coach Rupp of Kentucky, Pope Dean Smith of North Carolina and so on.

Although Li Liang studied with Coach Allen because of his age, it felt like a college student went to a primary school student to learn 1+1, but this kind of learning from scratch gave Li Liang a sense of basketball tactics, coaching, and command.

If you want to be a really good offensive organizer, it is not enough to just collect assists.

A deeper understanding of basketball is required to find ways to open up opponents in this complex game.

In the past, Li Liang's method was simple and rude. I greeted you with a three-pointer, and you couldn't defend yourself at all, and no tactics worked.

But Li Liang can't play like this every game, so he needs to learn more.

Time also passed quickly, August passed, and September passed.

The lively and leisurely summer is fleeting, and the northern hemisphere has entered autumn, which also indicates that the new NBA season is coming.

Li Liang has been obsessed with the world of basketball tactics for more than two months.

In the course task of [Passing Awareness], he came into contact with not only the patriarch Fogg Allen, but also Pete Carell, the inventor of Princeton tactics, and Tex Winter, the inventor of the triangle offense. Yum coach, 4-time coach of the year Eddie Sutton, and John Wooden, Bob Knight, Don Huggins, etc. who have been in contact with him before.

Following these coaches, Li Liang has a deeper understanding of the development history of basketball tactics, how to start from scratch, and constantly change with the development of players' abilities and changes in rules.

In the midst of these constant changes, there are some essential things in basketball that have never changed. This is what Li Liang really needs to understand.

Li Liang also took time to discuss these issues with Calipari.

He also discovered that the coaches who helped him in the system were all NCAA college coaches, and none of the NBA coaches.

It fully shows that NBA coaches don't actually talk about tactics, and they should go to college if they want to study basketball tactics.

In addition, Li Liang also participated in the unveiling ceremony of the jersey held by the Clippers.

He got a brand new No. 28 jersey, which was officially launched in September. As soon as it was launched, the sales volume went straight to the top three.

Of course, Li Liang's pirated Clippers jersey had already been in circulation in China two months ago and appeared on the field.

As time passed, the crazy championship season in June was gradually forgotten by the fans.

Although in the days to come, people will take it out and reminisce about it from time to time, but right now, people are undoubtedly paying more attention to the new season.

No matter how magnificent and exciting the past season was, he has passed after all, and his attractiveness cannot be compared with the new season that has not yet had results.

It's like a video of a wonderful playoff game, not as fascinating as an ordinary regular season that hasn't started.

When the time comes to mid-September, all teams have begun to prepare for the new season.

The summer league has long ended, and people like Li Liang no longer need to participate in the summer league to gain experience for themselves, even if he is only in the second grade.

The Clippers conducted the final selection and confirmation of personnel through the summer league, and then contacted some free agents who have not yet left home to determine the team's roster.

The Clippers once contacted Gilbert Arenas, hoping that he could come to the Clippers to give it a try.

However, Arenas refused. He hoped to stay in China to play in the CBA and was unwilling to return to the United States.

After Arenas was injured and the gun incident, his state was not as good as before. From the Magic to the Grizzlies, he finally left the NBA and went to the other side of the ocean.

The Clippers have always liked to scratch this balloon star lottery.

Last season, Odom and Hill failed to scrape successfully. This season, the Clippers dug up the Lakers veteran Antawn Jamison.

Jamison was amazing in the finals last season and got a championship ring. It should be said that his career is complete.

He could have chosen to retire, but because he could still play, he decided to play for another season.

It happened that Li Liang came to the Clippers. Jamison had a vicious look, hugged Li Liang's thigh tightly, and joined the Clippers.

The Clippers also tried out Stephen Jackson, who was waived midway by the Spurs last season, but eventually waived Jackson.

The time has come to September 29th, and October is about to enter, and various activities of NBA teams are finally on the agenda.

The Clippers will hold a media day in the team's training hall on September 30 to promote the new season for the whole team.

After the publicity is over, the team plans to go to the University of San Diego to borrow the basketball hall there to start training for the new season and prepare for the preseason.

Li Liang received relevant news on September 15.

On September 30th, I got up early in the morning and prepared to go to the Clippers training facility on Sisentinella Avenue.

And Zhu Shu helped Li Liang prepare breakfast, then took the car keys and said that he would drive Li Liang there.

"Uh, I'll just drive by myself. Why don't you rest at home?" Li Liang felt strange. Before going to the Lakers for training, Zhu Shu never sent him off.

But Zhu Shu said: "It's okay, I've been idle for a summer, today is the first day, I'll drive you off."

Seeing Zhu Shu's insistence, Li Liang nodded in agreement.

The two drove to the Clippers' training facility.

Unlike the basement of the Toyota Sports Center that the Lakers used poorly, the Clippers' training hall was newly built in 2008 and is an independent basketball training center.

Its shape is like a white speedboat, symbolizing the team name of the Clippers.

This is the first time Li Liang came to their training center after joining the Clippers. A large group of media were waiting for him at the door.

Zhu Shu parked the car and followed Li Liang into the training center.

Li Liang felt that Zhu Shu was a bit strange today. She seldom showed her face in the Lakers before, and she always worked behind the scenes.

Why did you go out of your way today and follow yourself into the training camp?

After Li Liang saw the reporter who was mainly in charge of interviewing ESPN today, he understood a little bit in his heart.

"Hi, I'm Madeleine Burke." A tall woman who looks exactly like Cameron Diaz, with a sweet smile and golden curly hair greets Li Liang.

She is a well-known beauty reporter for the Clippers and has quickly become popular in Los Angeles in recent years.

Because of her good looks and sexy figure, she is very popular among fans.

Li Liang had heard about her in the Lakers before, and occasionally met her when he was playing at Staples.

However, because she is mainly in charge of news about the Clippers, she doesn't have much contact with Li Liang.

Now that Li Liang joins the Clippers, the communication and interaction between the two will naturally increase.

Li Liang looked at Burke, then secretly glanced at Zhu Shu who was standing behind him, and politely extended his hand to shake Burke's hand gently, "Hi, I'm Bruce Lee."

After finishing speaking, he nodded and walked away.
