Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

After the third game between the Cavaliers and Pacers, the basketball media in the United States and China were blown up.

Because the referee's field control and off-call behavior in this game were indeed a bit too obvious. Li Liang fouled twice in the first quarter and fouled three times in the second quarter. No matter how you look at it, it is not the treatment of an MVP-level star in the league.

Moreover, this game also specially arranged for Li Liang's least favorite referee, bald Crawford.

At the press conference after the game, Bird directly pointed out that the referee's penalty in this game was unfair.

Byrd had to pay a small price for his remarks, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, which cannot be avoided.

On the contrary, Li Liang, who has always talked a lot, didn't say much after the game, but said, "I've already put my energy into the next game."

Will Li Liang be convinced? Of course he refused.

He just didn't want to be fined. Although it wasn't much money for him, the person in charge of the money at home would feel distressed.

Don't be scolded at that time, it will be miserable.

From the point of view of public opinion, everyone can see that this game is indeed too much for the Cavaliers.

If you analyze whistle by whistle, basically every call will be fine.

NBA referees are not stupid enough to call fouls when they are obviously not fouls, or not to call fouls when there are obvious fouls.

But Crawford and the others are experienced and know which calls can be made in the game.

For example, some small moves when dribbling the ball, moving screens, one-on-one defense, etc.

On these balls, the Pacers suffer, and the Cavaliers will benefit relatively.

There is also a key judgment to be made at some key nodes.

For example, seeing that the Pacers are about to start chasing points, tighten the penalty scale on the field, give the Pacers an offensive foul, and turn around and find a Cavaliers foul for the Pacers.

On the surface, it seems that both sides have fouled, but the problem is that the Pacers are the one chasing points, and the momentum is about to pick up. As a result, they took off the counterattack again and again, and the Cavaliers have adjusted to be able to respond better defensively.

The most hateful thing is of course targeting Li Liang in the penalty.

As the absolute core of the Pacers, the Pacers are completely two teams whether he is on the court or not.

In the third game, Li Liang sat off the field for half of the first half, causing the Pacers to fall behind early and fall into a disadvantageous situation.

In the third quarter, Li Liang was about to chase points, and the referee tightened the whistle on the court again, blowing the game to pieces.

This is very detrimental to the chasing party.

In the fourth quarter, the fourth and fifth fouls were blown consecutively, and a technical foul was added.

It was almost a blow to Li Liang and sent him back to the locker room to take a shower.

For a while, the forum was full of enthusiasm, especially the Chinese fans, pointing out that the league would lose face for the sake of ratings.

Indeed, since Xiao Hua came to power, last year's playoffs did not have much suspense.

Except for the Clippers playing the Spurs in the West, there is no tit-for-tat duel.

Not to mention the East, anyway, it's just watching James perform.

When it came to the finals, the Clippers beat up again with all their strength, crippling the Heat.

The number of games and ratings in the entire playoffs are not good.

This year, Xiao Hua saw that the Pacers were about to easily enter the finals again, and the Cavaliers couldn't stand it anymore.

If it comes to 3:0, the ratings of the entire Eastern Conference finals will basically pull the hips, and the following games will be pills.

As for the West, after the Warriors lost the first game, they won two games in a row, and the fourth game is about to start, which makes people feel relieved.

The Spurs team has always been a "ratings poison". Year after year, old faces have entered the Western Conference Finals. If they make it to the Finals, the ratings will definitely be even more unwatchable.

After all, the NBA is a commercial league, and everything depends on capital, ratings, and advertising expenses.

Gimmicks, fierce battles, reversals, and passion, all of these necessary competitive elements are indispensable, and young people will like it.

Now because of Li Liang's existence, it feels like the playoffs are a bit uneven and unsightly. Of course, the league is not happy.

If Li Liang is an American, there is no doubt that he will go smoothly, be praised by the league, and become the new generation of "The chosen one."

It turned out that he was a foreigner and a Chinese, and he didn't obey the rules and ran around.

Not to mention, he signed with Under Armor Sporting Goods.

If Li Liang is allowed to enter the finals again and join forces with the Warriors, it will be a duel between Under Armour's two stars. Where will the face of Nike basketball sporting goods boss be put?

Of course, it is impossible for Nike to appoint James to the finals directly, but behind the scenes, Li Liang has to face more difficulties than in the past.

...

On May 24th, US Eastern Time, Cleveland's Quicken Loans Center, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals will start here.

After a day of adjustments, the two teams started the battle again.

The aftermath of the third game still hadn't subsided before the start of this game.

Bird was fined for inappropriate remarks after the game, and Pacers owner Herbert Simon, who has always been silent, rarely stood up, claiming that the league had unfairly treated the Pacers in the third game.

Unlike Cuban's fan owners, Pacers owner Herbert Simon and his brother bought the Pacers back then. It was purely an investment behavior, and they didn't know much about basketball or interest.

After buying the team in the 1980s, they handed over the management of the team to professional managers, and went about their other careers.

The management of this team for many years has been very good. Although it has not won the championship, it has always been among the top teams in the league.

After Li Liang's arrival, the Pacers' market value and turnover have increased significantly. Now that there is hope to enter the finals, the boss will of course come out and shout twice.

This is putting pressure on the league that it's better not to have any more balancing effects on the game.

The result of the third game has a great impact on the whole situation.

If the Pacers win, the Cavaliers will be out after falling behind 0:3.

The Cavaliers' win greatly reversed the situation in the series, giving the Cavaliers a psychological advantage before the start of the fourth game.

Because once the Cavaliers win the fourth game, the trend of the series will be in the hands of the Cavaliers, and it will be postponed to the fifth game Tianwangshan, and it is unknown who will win the game.

In the history of the NBA, there are not a few teams that lead 2-0 at home and are followed by their opponents who have been pulled down by their opponents in a few games.

Therefore, the public opinion struggle before and after the game has become a bargaining chip in determining the outcome.

As a famous big mouth, Li Liang rarely kept his mouth shut and put all his energy into the game.

At 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the Quicken Loans Center, fans have already packed the arena.

Tonight the Cavaliers are wearing yellow home jerseys and the Pacers are wearing navy blue away stripes.

Before the start of the game, the TV cameras kept showing Li Liang and James, both of them had serious faces.

For James, this is a game that determines the trend of the series. If he wins, he has a great chance to come back.

Defeating Bruce Lee has become an obsession in James' heart, and he will go all out in this game.

But Li Liang's idea is different from that of James.

What he was thinking about was not the game, but the task completed last night.

In order to further improve his [Basic Shooting], he entered the system again, only to meet that old white man again.

Li Liang always thought it was very strange why he was not given a game task in the [Basic Shooting] task, but had been following this old man for strange training.

After the Eastern Conference semifinals, he continued to follow the old man for shooting practice.

This time, the content is even more unique, allowing Li Liang to practice yoga, Chinese Kung Fu, boxing and high jump.

I practiced until the night before the start of the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, and the training came to an end.

Li Liang's basic shooting has increased from 80 points to 85 points, and the improvement value is still not high.

But after the training task was completed, the old man told Li Liang, "I hope you can continue this kind of training in reality."

And the most important thing is that Li Liang also got a [mid-range shooting rate improvement sticker (a)] prop.

Li Liang always felt that the reason the system was so perfunctory to him was to give him this item so that he could spend more anger points to buy it at the exchange center.

Yes, it must be so.
