Chapter 24: not that simple

　　 "60,000 US dollars, 60,000 US dollars! Haha, this time you get rich, all the expenses along the way have been solved!"
　　After the game, on the way back to the hotel, Wei Dazhi was overexcited and couldn't stop laughing.
　　 This time when I travel, car rental, gas, hotel, and other expenses, add up to a large amount.
　　Although Li Liang and Wei Dazhi are not short of money at home, Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting also bear their own expenses.
　　 But as a student, there is no fixed source of income, this money still let them out of blood.
　　Unexpectedly, Li Liang made up all the expenses for a single shot, and it was more than enough. Happy is of course.
　　 Zhu Shu looked at Li Liang's eyes with a little more admiration. At the moment of the shot, he was the hero of the Phillips Center and was cheered by thousands of fans.
　　 Even Bai Xiaoting turned a few eyes at Li Liang.
　　 This money Li Liang could have been used for his own purposes, but he generously used it for travel expenses.
　　 It seems that this guy is not as stingy as expected, but quite generous.
Li Liang saw Wei Dazhi as if he was enchanted, and said disdainfully: "Only $60,000, after paying taxes, and getting fifty thousand six, I will enter the NBA. Isn't that money drizzling? Anyway, money is What is it? Money is a bastard. You need to spend it when you get the money. It’s not as good as wiping the paper there."
　　Wei Dazhi smiled and said, "This kind of wiping the buttocks paper will give me two extra knives, I don't mind."
　　Wei Dazhi is a Kochi family. The family is huge. There are real estate in China and the United States, which can be said to be a rich family.
　　But his parents have always been strict and live frugally. He gives his son a fixed cost of living every year, and he refuses to pay a penny.
　　 Therefore, Wei Dazhi sometimes had no money to spend and had to go to work, and slowly developed a good habit of saving money.
　　The next day, four people with sufficient funds spent a good day in Atlanta, visiting the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.
　　 In the afternoon, they went to the Atlanta Zoo again, and they had a great time.
　　Li Liang chose to relax in the past two days. Apart from going back to the hotel for fitness and finding a game to practice three points, he did not enter the [Almighty King] system to pick up the task.
　　Has been doing tasks every night for nearly a month, making him very tired.
　　He is going to rest and relax for another two days, to recover, and continue to improve his defense and three-pointers.
　　 left Atlanta and continued south, they entered Florida, the next stop was Orlando.
　　 It is now at the turn of spring and summer. Florida, as a tourist destination on the south coast of the United States, is a good time to come and play.
　　After arriving in Orlando on the 22nd, the four of them went to Disney together and played happily in the world's largest Disney park for two days.
　　 reached number 25 and went to the Amway Arena to watch the Orlando Magic against Charlotte Bobcats.
　　 Unfortunately, the Magic star center Dwight Howard was reimbursed due to injury and was unable to participate in this game.
　　 And the Bobcats have missed the playoffs, the number of wins in the season is only 10, the Magic is also difficult to have the style of previous years, the game was quite dull.
　　 However, in the previous two games, Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting, who had been playing mobile phones and selfies all the way, seemed to have a little interest in basketball and began to look seriously with Li Liang.
　　 from time to time ask some more naive questions, such as why you can't shoot the ball with both hands.
　　Li Liang explained patiently. As for Wei Dazhi, he continued to take pictures and post, chatting and bragging in his basketball group, regardless of the two girls around him who had just become interested in basketball.
　　In Wei Dazhi's words, he has been hurt by emotions and it is impossible to recover in ten years.
　　He must devote all his energy to basketball and become a basketball reporter.
　　Wei Dazhi remembered that when he was in junior high school, he thought that playing basketball could attract girls, so he started playing basketball.
　　 Later, he really fell in love with basketball, he also understood that girls just like to watch handsome guys play.
　　If you are not handsome, you just fly to the sky, and no one will pay attention to you!
　　Think about basketball. It’s fun, it doesn’t cost much money, it doesn’t require you to buy a house, and it won’t betray you.
　　 The three days in Orlando are undoubtedly joyous, Li Liang got a full rest and felt more energetic.
　　 So, on the same night, he entered the [Almighty King] system again to continue his upgrade journey.
　　 He first checked all aspects of his data, and did not decline compared with before, indicating that two days of rest will not affect the state.
　　 On the contrary, in the [Physical Fitness] column, his [Endurance] index also rose a little.
　　 Seems to rest and relax fully, so that the physical fitness has a certain reserve.
　　Roughly counted, Li Liang began to think about whether he would continue to improve his defensive ability, or strengthen the open three-pointer?
　　At present, his basic defense ability value is still relatively low, there is more room for improvement, and the difficulty should not be large, and it can be completed in a short time.
　　 And the three-point mission has been promoted to the star rating, it is estimated that it will be more difficult, and it will take more time to complete.
　　 But the difficult tasks are also beneficial, the improvement is greater, and the rewards are more abundant.
　　 And the task of the three-point project is relatively small in terms of defensive ability.
　　Li Liang weighed it carefully and decided to be conservative. Before entering the NBA, he should steadily improve and improve his defense.
　　 Waiting for entering the NBA, and then to challenge those more difficult tasks, develop their own offensive skills.
　　After making a good plan, Li Liang entered the [Defense Ability] interface and selected the task of [Outside Defense] again.
　　 gradually lit up again, Li Liang was sent to the new mission site.
[Task: Contain Odom’s first show, time: November 2, 1999, location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, United States, against: Seattle Supersonics vs. Los Angeles Clippers, task requirements: counter rookie Lamar- Odom, let him score no more than 10 points, task reward: basic outside defense value +8, each outside defense ability value +5, a random ability value-added agent, task difficulty: ordinary]
　　Li Liang looked at the same type as the previous two tasks. It contained the star player's NBA debut. This time the target was changed to Lamar Odom.
　　 The content of the task looks simple, no matter what assists, just push his score to 10 or less.
　　But Li Liang knew that the tasks in the system could not be more and more simple, the difficulty had been increased to normal, and the rewards were even more abundant.
　　 So in this game, Odom must have a wonderful first show, Li Liang must contain him.
　　Li Liang was right, Odom's debut in 1999 was extremely stunning.
　　 The 6-foot-9 forward scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks for a super all-round performance.
　　 This show data is also the number one in NBA history. Odom was originally called a "left-hand magician" for a reason.
　　Li Liang looked at his clothes. He put on the Seattle supersonic green shirt.
　　 Standing beside him was Gary Payton, who was chewing gum on his hips. He glanced at Li Liang and said, "Defense the boy, you are not here to watch the ball."
　　Li Liang nodded his head, Payton's name is still known to him, the famous NBA impromptu profanity rap master, spam maker.
　　 walked the world with a big mouth, dare to scold Jordan.
　　 Fortunately for this game, Li Liang and Payton are teammates and they don't have to scold.
　　 But he was not afraid of scolding Li Liang. He confessed that he would not lose anyone, and he might get anger.
　　 A few days ago, Adelman had a anger value of 20. After weighting, he gave Li Liang another 100 points, and his exchange value had reached 610 points.
　　 The game started quickly. Li Liang came on as the team's starting small forward. He replaced the team's "White Flying Man" Brent Barry.
　　 In terms of strength, the Clippers are far inferior to the supersonics. This team in the same city as the Lakers has always been the league.
　　 In 1998, they held the No. 1 pick, missed Carter, missed Pierce, and chose to be considered the next "Olajuwon" Olovokandi.
　　 Facts have proved that this so-called next who is who, wholly TM is a sham.
　　 Olovokandi is no exception, of course, he did not play the top spot in rookie season.
　　 This is his second season, still the starting center of the Clippers, the Clippers still hope for him.
　　In addition to this parallel center, No. 4 pick rookie Odom has become a starter, the Clippers also have high hopes for him.
　　Li Liang fixed his gaze on Odom. Now he is properly a rookie destroyer. His first rookie will be ravaged.
　　With the experience of the first two games, Li Liang will provide a one-to-one special service for Odom at the beginning.
　　 can only get him 10 points, and he can only score one goal per quarter. The task is quite arduous.
　　 Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, Li Liang estimated that the supersonic will lead the score early and then play casually, Odom will easily brush the data.
　　 In order to prevent this from happening, Li Liang decided to continue to make an attack on the offensive end.
　　 Never hit a shot, never pass a ball, just take the ball and do it.
　　Anyway, the coach won't change him easily, otherwise how can he complete the task.
　　 Coincidentally, his coach was George Karl again in this game. In 1999, he was 48 years old and was in his prime.
　　 The game started, the centers of both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle.
　　 The supersonic starting center is Wen Baker, a future drunkard. At this time, he is also an excellent low-level attacker in the league.
　　 Clippers compete for the ball, the first offensive and defensive, supersonic speed using man-to-man.
　　Li Liang remembered that before 2001, the league did not allow joint defense, only man-to-man defense.
　　Although some teams will secretly use the zone bag, most of the cases are man-to-man.
　　This provided Li Liang with convenience, he just stared at his own person anyway.
　　Odom hadn't thought of attacking himself at the opening. The Clippers are not a strong team. They are weak and play more casually.
　　Derrick Anderson took the lead and dribbled the ball for two laps on the perimeter. He didn't find a good chance, so he pitched himself.
　　 missed the middle distance, Wen Baker scored a rebound in the backcourt, Payton took the ball to organize the supersonic attack.
　　In the attack, Li Liang squatted as always.
　　Now he thinks it's quite easy to play NBA games. The defensive end stares at himself, and the squatting of the offense ends.
　　 The opening supersonic play is very traditional, Wen-Baker asks for the ball in the low position, others open the space, Baker takes the ball singles.
　　Li Liang ambushed between the bottom corner of the left side and 45 degrees, waiting for the opportunity to move.
　　 and his opponent Odom put his attention on Baker. It seems that the coach told him to stare at Baker before the game.
　　Baker chiseled a few times in the low post, and the active Odom suddenly stepped forward and Baker immediately scored the ball and directly passed the ball to Li Liang from the outside.
　　Li Liang looked at this great chance of throwing the ball, regardless of the three or seventy-one catching the ball, pulling it up with his eyes closed.
　　Odom returned to his defense and returned, but Li Liang shot quickly and did not make any preparation at all, so he did not intend to enter.
　　 "Uh!"
　　 The ball actually went in!
　　Li Liang couldn't believe his eyes, he hit a three-pointer that he could throw!
　　 "TMD, why did you get in? Say good about wave casting? Say good about holding back?"
　　Li Liang looked at his palm with a daze, and Payton praised him on the side: "Pretty boy."
　　For a player, if he shoots enough, the muscle movements are already remembered.
　　 Unless thrown away intentionally, otherwise the probability of scoring a goal is quite large.
　　 "No, no, you can't shoot indiscriminately later. This will open up the score and it will be difficult to defend."
　　 If George Karl knows Li Liang's thoughts, he is expected to give him 50 points of anger.
　　 In the first quarter, everything went well. After Li Liang scored a three-pointer, the supersonics quickly took the initiative on the field.
　　 And the Clippers played pretty well. The defense on both sides was not strong at the beginning. There was a back and forth. The Supersonics ended the first quarter at 29:27, leading by 2 points.
　　Odom did not score points under Li Liang's full defense, which is called mental calculation and unintentional.
　　 In history, Odom played as a rookie, the opponent will not target him.
　　 slowly opened the back, playing smoothly, plus the supersonic score lead, the coach is George Karl, naturally with him brush away.
　　 Now, as soon as Li Liang opened the game, he turned around like a fly. He had two games to contain the rookie experience, and Odom could not open it.
Li Liang is a little triumphant, and feels that the task shouldn’t be too problematic. After three quarters, he passed it. He doesn't lose much with others, and his judgment has improved.
　　 But in the second quarter, there were changes in the field, and the two sides began to play a rotation lineup.
　　 At the supersonic side, Payton and Hollis Grant went off and replaced Xavier Maxwell and Barry. Li Liang remained on the field because Odom did not go down.
　　 Without Grant, the supersonic inner line lacks a reliable frame.
　　 Both sides of the bench lineup, Odom began to control the Clippers offense, with the ball in hand, he played more flexible and changeable.
　　Although Odom is tall, he has defender-like ball control skills, first-rate passing skills, and will also make three-pointers.
　　His breakthrough is particularly sharp, the speed is not fast, the rhythm is very good, and he uses his body very well.
　　 Without Grant's protection, Li Liang faced Odom's strong ball holding and was beaten twice in a row.
　　 Then the Supersonic missed an attack, Odom quickly counterattacked with the ball, he ran like a little pony with legs spread.
　　 Li Liang did not catch up madly in the back, Odom slammed the left hand vigorously, Li Liang blocked the foul from behind.
　　Odom stood on the free throw line and made a free throw. He scored seven points in the second quarter.
　　 Seven points, Li Liang can only give Odom 10 points at most, which is very difficult.
　　 As expected, Odom made a three-pointer with his teammate after a pick and roll at the end of the second quarter.
10 points! Li Liang basically declared that the mission failed.
　　Li Liang gasped for a long time, hard to conceal his frustration.
　　 However, even if he failed, he still had to finish the second half.
　　It seems that this task is not so simple.
