Chapter 431 The Rain Man's Umbrella

After the Knicks game, Paul underwent an MRI because of a hamstring injury.

The results of the examination showed that there was nothing serious, just the most common strain, and it would recover after a short rest.

However, for the sake of insurance, the team decided to let Paul truce in the next game.

It happens to be the next game against the Kings, so it's all right now, don't worry about Cousins ​​and Paul having a conflict.

This game will be played in Sacramento, so on the 28th, the whole team took a special plane from Los Angeles to Sacramento.

Because the distance between the two cities is very close, it takes half an hour to fly there by plane. To be honest, it is not much different from playing at home.

After arriving in Sacramento, the Clippers stayed at the hotel.

Owner Ballmer came with the team as usual, and he is now the team's number one enthusiastic fan.

Because Paul did not come, Li Liang stayed in a room alone when he stayed in the hotel.

This is exactly what Li Liang wanted. He decided to improve his internal defense and confrontation ability before playing against the king.

Because of the last game against the Kings, Li Liang was really shocked by Cousins ​​and Thompson.

In this game, Li Liang decided to make some changes.

First of all, Li Liang needs to improve his core stability and core overall strength to enhance his ability to fight against the basket and resist impact.

After fighting the king last time, Li Liang realized this problem.

At present, some of his physical fitness data related to the inside confrontation:

【Core Overall Strength: 63】

[Core Stability: 68]

【Waist and abdomen tension: 50】

【Overall lower body strength: 65】

【Strength of legs and hips: 68】

In the summer, he conducted intensive training with Alexander, but after one summer, his ability value has increased by about 5 points on average.

No way, real training can't be compared with systematic black technology improvement.

Sleeping at night, Li Liang entered the system and chose the dimensional task of [core overall strength]:

[Mission, open your umbrella, mission requirements: withstand the impact from Sean Kemp in one-on-one defense, successfully defend 20 times, cannot use fouls, steals, etc., mission reward: core overall strength + 10, core stability +5, a random special item. Mission Difficulty: Star. 】

When Li Liang saw this task, his vision went dark and he felt like taking pills.

Among all the tasks, what Li Liang hates the most is this kind of one-on-one tasks.

Either they were electrocuted, bumped, or hand-to-hand, and they didn't know when they would be beaten.

Needless to say, this task is estimated to be killed by Sean Kemp.

Just as Li Liang was thinking, he came to the familiar training ground again.

Shawn Kemp, wearing No. 40 for the Seattle SuperSonics, was already waiting in the middle of the court with the ball in his hand.

To be honest, this task is not too difficult. It has been defended 20 times, and there is no specified time or success rate.

To put it bluntly, it’s just waste.

In fact, it is the same as usual training. Some technical things require brains and methods, and some things just take time and endure pain.

The improvement of [physical fitness] is essentially torturing one's own body.

If you are tortured in the system, you will improve much faster, so it is still cost-effective.

Li Liang took a deep breath and greeted Kemp.

This is Sean Kemp at his peak in 1996, when he was 27 years old and led the Sonics to the Finals with Payton.

Kemp has unparalleled impact inside and is a typical representative of violent insiders.

Li Liang thought, if his overall core strength is more than 60, he will meet Kemp, and if he goes up, he will probably meet O'Neill.

Kemp doesn't talk bullshit like Frazier, and without a word, he starts to attack.

Li Liang's mission is very simple, that is to face-to-face confrontation!

The first time the two sides collided, Li Liang felt as if he had been hit by a tractor.

The whole person fell backwards uncontrollably, and then sat on the ground, watching Kemp succeed with one hand.

This explosive force, this impact force, is stronger than Cousins.

Cousins' strong confrontation is mainly due to his heavy weight and large frame. In fact, Cousins' explosive power is very average.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be one of the "Human Covered Essences"—another one is Anthony.

Kemp is different, Kemp has a strong body, and his whole body is black like a black panther.

He is not very heavy, but his explosive power and impact are extremely strong. Once he is allowed to rush, even Olajuwon, the best defensive player of the year, cannot stop him.

With Li Liang's current weight and core strength, it would be difficult to stop Kemp's impact.

But having said that, it was another brutal, bloody, and unbearable night...

...

Early the next morning, when Li Liang woke up from his sleep, it was already noon.

Because he slept alone, no one disturbed him. Li Liang got up from the bed, feeling that his bones were about to fall apart.

He struggled to get up from the bed, thinking of the battle in the system last night, it was simply a nightmare...

20 times, it seems simple, the key is not to play tricks.

The system will make a judgment. If you make a foul or use skills to defend, it doesn't count as a success.

So it took two hours to kill Sean Kemp head-on.

Thinking about two hours, it’s okay, it’s much easier than spending more than three hours one-on-one with Michael Jordan.

Li Liang stood in front of the mirror and observed his body, and it became a little thicker visible to the naked eye.

Others can't see it, but Li Liang can.

Immediately afterwards, there was a strong sense of hunger in my abdomen. Every time I finished the task of physical fitness, I would be so hungry.

Li Liang immediately called the room service and asked them to bring up some food.

After a few minutes, someone knocked on the door. Li Liang opened the door and saw that it was not the hotel waiter who delivered the food, but the boss Ballmer!

He carried a bunch of food, came to the door of Li Liang's room, and brought him in personally.

Li Liang was flattered. Looking at the time, his teammates should have gone to training at this point.

Li Liang doesn't care anyway, the Clippers' coaching staff is used to him coming in late and leaving early.

Mike Brown also said that when Bruce Lee started arriving late and leaving early, it indicated that his state had begun to stabilize.

The rest of the Clippers did go to the arena for training, and Ballmer stayed in the hotel to watch the news.

When he just came out, he saw the service staff walking towards Li Liang's room carrying a lot of food. After asking about the situation, Ballmer took the initiative to undertake the food delivery service for Li Liang.

After receiving the lunch delivered by Ballmer, Li Liang ate without hesitation.

What he ordered were all high-calorie, high-sugar foods, which made Ballmer dumbfounded.

It is said that athletes are quite self-disciplined in eating in order to maintain their figure and health. Why does this person eat so many "unhealthy" things?

The reason is actually very simple, because the black technology system consumes a lot of sugar, which must be replenished after completing the physical fitness tasks, otherwise the game at night will not be played.

Ballmer watched, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, nor did he dare to say more.

It took Li Liang half an hour to wipe out all the food that was brought up.

Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Ballmer, felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Uh, boss, I'm done eating, I want to sleep for a while..."

Ballmer nodded quickly, "OK, sleep for a while."

Ballmer is about to leave, Li Liang is now the number one baby of the team, not to mention sleeping for a while, it doesn't matter if he recruits ten beauties to accompany him now.

Before leaving, Ballmer still had something to say, "Oh, by the way, Bruce, I want to ask you something. Do you think you need a substitute?"

Hearing what Ballmer said, Li Liang frowned and thought about it.

At present, Li Liang does not have a clear substitute for the Clippers.

He is now being used by Mike Brown and Rivers alone as two people, and he can't wait to let him output on the court every minute.

Paul is not here again tonight, Li Liang's responsibilities must be even more onerous.

Ballmer suddenly mentioned this issue, indicating that the management intends to continue to reinforce.

The current Clippers' bench does need to introduce some more talents on the inside.

Therefore, Li Liang nodded and said, "Of course it would be a good thing if we can recruit strong support."

Seeing Li Liang nodding, Ballmer asked, "Then what do you think of Lamar Odom?"

Um? Odom? Didn't he stay with the Clippers last season, and didn't renew his contract with the Clippers in the summer.

What, want to enter the palace for the second time?

During the Lakers period, Odom proved that he is a left-handed magician.

But after leaving the Lakers, Odom has fallen all the way to the point where no one cares about him now.

The Clippers are known as the "recycling station for waste products", and now they want to use waste again.

Li Liang scratched his face and said, "Maybe you can think about it, why not give someone a chance?"

Hearing what Li Liang said, Ballmer smiled and left Li Liang's room without disturbing his sleep.

...

Li Liang slept for another two hours in the hotel, and finally woke up refreshed.

By the time he left the hotel, it was getting dark, and he went alone to Arco Arena, home of the Kings, to prepare for tonight's game.

The Clippers players came to the arena early to warm up, and everyone had no complaints about Li Liang who came late.

If you can earn 5 million a year and do 20 million jobs, what does it matter if you arrive late and leave early?

Really awesome, one day you can hold 40 million and do nothing.

And don't look at Li Liang coming in late and leaving early, in fact, after energy replenishment and rest, he is in quite good condition now.

Before the game started, Cousins ​​came to chat with Li Liang again.

Because Paul didn't come today, the expression on Cousins' face was very relaxed.

Cousins ​​blatantly said to Li Liang, "Tonight I must blow up the Clippers inside!"

Cousins ​​was unconvinced in the last game in Los Angeles. Coming to the home court tonight, Cousins ​​and the Kings will of course have revenge.

Li Liang smiled and did not respond, thinking that I will not let you do my best tonight.

An hour later, the game started.

The Kings continued the experience of playing against the Clippers in the previous game. This time, with the power of the home court, they bombarded the Clippers' insiders indiscriminately from the beginning.

The King knows that if you play tactics, personal ability, and team configuration, I can't beat your Clippers.

Then I will work hard!

The Kings used simple and rough pick-and-rolls to attack the inside line of play, and also strengthened the team's offensive rebounds.

In the first quarter, the two sides played inextricably. At 24:23, the Kings also led the Clippers by 1 point.

In the second quarter, the Kings continued to put pressure on the inside of the Clippers.

But at this time, Cousins ​​failed to make two or three low-post attacks inside.

It was not Jordan who defended Cousins, but Li Liang.

Li Liang topped the defense, Jordan Jr. assisted in the defense, and the two worked together to successfully contain Cousins ​​​​in the paint.

Cousins ​​ate three caps in a row in the second quarter, showing Sacramento fans what is called "the essence of being capped."

Cousins ​​was surprised to find that Li Liang was more difficult to fight than in the last game.

In the last game Cousins ​​charged in with the ball, Li Liang either fouled or had to dodge.

Tonight, Li Liang went head-to-head with Cousins!

Although he was still called for two fouls, Cousins' shooting percentage at the basket dropped sharply.

And the physical consumption is quite serious.

In the third quarter, Cousins ​​couldn't hold on anymore.

At this time, the Clippers' outside line began to show off.

In the absence of Paul, the Clippers' offense lacked an engine. Crawford stood up and relied on his personal ability to hit consecutive three-pointers and began to open the score.

Then, Li Liang cooperated with Griffin in the high position and assisted Griffin in consecutive layups.

Li Liang's passing is not as stealthy and precise as Paul's, but he is tall.

That's how I spread it, and I just throw it over your head-it's you little Thomas, what can you do?

The Clippers took a wave of 13:0 and took the situation of the game into their own hands.

But the Kings are playing at home after all, and their desire to win this game is very strong.

In the fourth quarter, Cousins ​​took the lead in hitting a three-pointer to close the score.

I can't play inside, so I can shoot a three-pointer, right?

Although Cousins ​​​​is not explosive, his skills are really good.

Then, Thomas Jr. and Salmons, who were shooting wildly for the king, hit three-pointers one after another from the outside to close the score.

The two sides have maintained a point difference of about 5 points, and the fierce fight went to the last moment of the game.

At the critical moment, Li Liang stepped forward and made an attack after the timeout ended.

With the help of Griffin and Jr.'s cover, Li Liang made a reverse run in the middle and entered the inside line, and then received a pass from Crawford.

Li Liang didn't even dribble the ball, and took off in one step, facing Cousins ​​under the basket.

Cousins ​​stepped forward to stop Li Liang, but felt as if an umbrella had been opened in front of him.

That's right, it was an umbrella that covered Cousins' whole body, making it impossible to see the situation in front of him clearly.

Then Li Liang succeeded in a heavy dunk with one hand across Cousins!

The sound of the ball being smashed into the rim can be heard throughout Arco Arena.

There was a low cry from the audience, who did not expect that Li Liang scored the key point with a dunk instead of a three-pointer or a jump shot at the critical moment.

Ballmer danced excitedly on the sidelines, this ball is really exciting!

This ball was a fatal one. The point difference changed from 5 points to 7 points. Then Thomas Jr. broke through the basket and was interfered by Jr. Jordan. Li Liang took the rebound and slowly dribbled the ball across the half. There was no suspense in the game. .

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Sacramento Kings by 111:102 with 9 points in the absence of Paul, continuing their winning streak.

The Clippers seem a little invincible.

After the game, Cousins ​​and Li Liang shook hands.

For Cousins, it's a sad fact that since Li Liang entered the league, he hasn't won against Li Liang's team.

Cousins ​​asked Li Liang: "Bruce, did you open your umbrella today?"

Li Liangdao: "What? Holding an umbrella? How can I hold an umbrella?"

"I don't know, I feel that when you dunked that ball, it seemed...as if you opened an umbrella..."

"You must be out of your mind."

"You're right, I must have lost my mind."

Cousins ​​shook his head, thinking he must be hallucinating.

Li Liang thought, you didn't have hallucinations, I did open an umbrella, otherwise how could I cover you and dunk on your head?

After completing the task last night, Li Liang got a prop:

[Rainman's Umbrella: Open it, you can fly in the air, cover the defense, and block the opponent. Description: Special item, infused with anger, each use consumes 500 anger points. 】

Li Liang sighed, the system was trying more and more painstaking efforts to collect anger points.
