Chapter 774 Stability
Li Liang's words are very unreasonable, but after he said it, everyone felt that it was quite reasonable.
In terms of personal ability, he has indeed been away from the world of mortals for a long time.
Moreover, his style of play has to a certain extent caused some young players to not learn well, and their basic skills have not yet been firmly established, so they only think about shooting three-pointers, or the kind of ultra-long-range three-pointers.
This trend began to appear after the 2013 Finals, and intensified with the rise of the Warriors Curry and others.
The young players don't like to pull the rod and dunk, and they are fascinated by midfield shooting and ultra-long three-pointers.
To be honest, this is a bad phenomenon.
After all, only Li Liang has a system.
Those of you who don't have a system, you should practice your basic skills well, and step by step is the right way.
At the end of the first half, the Thunder led the Heat by 6 points at 61:55.
This advantage is not very big, Li Liang led the second team and did not play a significant advantage.
During the intermission, Donovan quietly asked Li Liang, "Bruce, what's wrong with you today, is there anything wrong?"
Donovan's mind is still very sensitive, and he pays close attention to the emotions, thoughts and performance of the players on the court.
Li Liang didn't expect Donovan to notice it, and said, "I...I just want to try another style of play."
"We played well before, why try a new style of play?" Donovan didn't quite understand that they had won 14 consecutive victories in November, and this momentum showed no signs of abating.
No team in the league can think of a way to contain the second team led by Li Liang.
Li Liang didn't know what to say for a while. Of course he was joking about how to experience the world of mortals, but he couldn't say that he actually wanted to usurp the throne, and he was doing exercises.
Seeing that Li Liang was silent, Donovan patted Li Liang on the shoulder, "Fight according to your own ideas, don't care too much about other people's ideas."
Donovan probably thought that Li Liang was too powerful in the second team, and would think that he was too "independent".
Then he really thought too much, Li Liang would not feel that he was alone, what's wrong with letting the most efficient person play more, isn't it right?
Li Liang thought about it, and said to Donovan: "OK, I will take care of everything in the second half."
It's better to win this game first. As for learning the way of coaching, it can't be done in a day and a half.
...
After the start of the second half of the game, Li Liang returned to his extraordinary state. When Durant and Westbrook both started to fight and the Heat once tied the score, he played in the middle of the third quarter and beat the Heat by himself. A 10:0 climax re-established the team's advantage.
Li Liang did not deliberately restrain himself, but used his super opportunity grasping ability to expand the lead in the fourth quarter, and maintained it until the end of the game, helping the Thunder make another victory at the American Airlines Center.
The Thunder has won 15 consecutive victories. Li Liang only scored 20 points in this game, but the points are critical and critical, mainly in the second half when the situation is decided.
Li Liang's control over the overall game situation has reached a certain level.
With the team's overall strength superior, only the Warriors in the league are worthy of the Thunder's all-out battle.
...
After playing the Heat, Li Liang and his teammates returned to Oklahoma City, and they had two days to rest.
After Li Liang got off the plane, Zhu Shu waited in the parking lot at the airport, and the two went straight home.
The residence of the two in Ercheng is located in the southeast of the city, a one-storey villa made of stone.
There is a maid and a cook in the family to ensure daily life.
On the way back, Li Liang didn't say a word, his mind was full of tasks to do at night, and he wanted to train the 18-year-old Kobe.
He didn't notice at all that Zhu Shu's complexion was not particularly good today.
After arriving home, Li Liang had a meal, took a short rest, and then went back to his room to go to bed early.
The task of being a coach is no less mentally exhausting than the task of the ability dimension. Yelling on the sidelines, communicating with the players, and pacing back and forth are definitely a challenge to the human spirit.
So, like when Jeff Van Gundy was a coach, he was not only bald, but also had big and dark bags under his eyes, like a panda.
After Dang Jie's explanation, the complexion of the whole person was obviously much better.
Li Liang was about to go to bed early, when Zhu Shu knocked on the door and came in, looking preoccupied.
Normally, in this situation, Zhu Shu would play games in another room, or do some work as a manager.
Li Liang got up from the bed and asked, "What's the matter? Do you want to sleep with me?"
Zhu Shu didn't respond. In the past, she would either nod shyly, or shake her head in refusal, leaving a sentence, "Whoever wants to sleep with you, sleep by yourself."
Today Zhu Shu just sat next to Li Liang with a serious expression.
Li Liang seldom saw Zhu Shu like this. When she was with him, she was mostly relaxed, rarely like this now.
"What happened? Could it be... Are you pregnant?"
Li Liang thought that Zhu Shu's expression was to tell him good news.
Zhu Shu shook her head, took Li Liang's hand, and said, "Li Liang, I want to discuss something with you."
Li Liangdao: "Whatever, you say, I promise you."
"I...I don't want to live in Oklahoma City anymore, I want to go back to California."
Zhu Shu hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her thoughts.
"Don't want to live in Oklahoma City? This...but I play in Oklahoma City. Although it's a little broken, a little small, a little bit out of the way, and a little poor, but...but..."
Li Liang didn't say anything for a long time, because there was really nothing good.
Think about it, a city with a total population of 500,000 to 600,000 is not as good as a larger town in China, and most county towns have more people than here, so how good it is.
Empty and boring is inevitable.
The place where Li Liang lives now is a high-end community, but there are not many people, and there are no people to see on weekdays, and there is no breath of life at all.
Li Liang trains and competes every day, and flies all over the United States. Of course, he doesn't feel that it doesn't matter. It's just a place to sleep anyway.
But it is different for Zhu Shu. Although she also needs to travel around, she is obviously not as busy as Li Liang.
Many times she stays here alone, and there is only one feeling, that is loneliness.
No matter how fun the game is, it is not as important as the social circle.
But Zhu Shu has no way to establish a stable social circle, because Li Liang is a tramp!
He was obviously the best player in the league, but he suddenly turned himself into a homeless player.
Moreover, Zhu Shu's job needs contact with grassroots basketball practitioners. In this regard, California is the best in the United States, and Oklahoma City is far behind.
"I want to live in California, Los Angeles, Oakland or somewhere else. I discussed it with Xiaoting, and she will accompany me..."
Zhu Shu spoke to Li Liang cautiously, but her tone still showed firmness. Obviously, she did not discuss with Li Liang, but came to inform him.
People always grow up. In the past, Zhu Shu hid under Li Liang's wing to develop, but now she always has her own ideas when she grows up.
Seeing that Li Liang didn't respond, Zhu Shu hugged Li Liang and said, "I hope to live a more stable life. Actually, you can be stable, can't you?"
Li Liang knew that what Zhu Shu said had some truth to it, and sometimes he couldn't just think about his own happiness, but also the feelings of the people next to him.
Zhu Shu followed him here and there, staying in Los Angeles for two years, then went to Cleveland, and then went to Indiana after a few days.
Now it's Oklahoma City, which is worse than Indiana.
Basketball is very important to Li Liang, but basketball is not the whole of life after all.
Li Liang thought for a while and said: "Okay, then you go to California first. After this season, I will consider settling down in one place. You have suffered with me for the past few years."
Li Liang kissed Zhu Shu's forehead and made his promise.
Tonight Li Liang decided not to enter the system to do tasks, but to accompany Zhu Shu well.
Kobe is a brat, save it until tomorrow to deal with him.
