Chapter 599: con man

The Grizzlies won in the second game, and the Pacers gnawed a hard bone.
　　After taking a shower at the end of the game, the team took the bus and immediately went to the airport to fly to Atlanta. The Pacers will usher in the first away season of the new season, which is also a back-to-back game.
　　 On the way to Atlanta, Li Liang took a short nap.
　　 is really a night of intense confrontation and great consumption.
　　 is really much harder to play inside than biubiubiu outside.
　　 But playing inside is really fun.
　　 The kind of high confrontation in the basket will make people bloody.
　　The feeling of sweat is even more comfortable.
　　After arriving in Atlanta, the team conducted a simple training in the training hall during the day.
　　 Byrd finally stopped sitting on the bench and drinking tea to watch the play.
　　 He picked up his whistle and participated in the team's offensive and defensive training.
　　 and Mike Brown, Vogel began to guide the team's system.
　　 While training camp in October, Byrd has always been a handshake, in fact, he is not in a daze, but thinking, thinking about what kind of ball the team will take this season.
　　After he had Li Liang, the Pacers' real power increased.
　　 But sending George to the knight really made the knight stronger.
　　 In yesterday's game, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Bulls away. James and George scored 50 points together, plus Irving's 21 points, the three scored 71 points.
　　 It can be said that Li Liang's honey operation in the summer gave him and the walkers somehow a monster in the east.
　　 Bird will now face this monster created by Li Liang.
　　The original solid lineup of Pacers clearly shows signs of degradation.
　　Western and Hill's injuries both herald a possible decline.
　　West is 34 years old, and this age can decline slightly, already Amitabha.
　　 Last season, West's score has begun to decline sharply, this season will definitely drop again.
　　Hill still has room to increase in age and ability, but his injury is not very optimistic.
　　 He should rest until the end of December to return to the game.
　　 Throughout the November game and most of the game in December, the Pacers will always have a hole in the back line.
As for Hibbert, let’s not say it. It has inexplicably declined since the second half of last season. The first game of this season bullied Noel and the 76ers. It’s okay. Weak.
　　 The entire fourth quarter, only let him play in the last three minutes, the game only scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, this data is really pitiful.
　　 Therefore, the situation of pedestrians is much more severe than many people see.
　　Li Liang joined the Pacers, and he joined the Clippers last summer is completely different.
　　 The Clippers lineup is neat. In the ascending period, the players are healthy and the coaches are changed. It can be said that they have a new look before they scored 70 wins.
　　The Pacers are already the end of the crossbow. If you want to get results this season, you must change your life.
　　 Bird's shoulder pressure is not small.
　　 Yesterday's game after careful consideration, the implementation of Mike Brown's Li Liang center tactics, the effect was actually good.
　　 So during training this time, Bird demanded two sets of confrontations, and once again let Li Liang take a lineup as a center.
　　Li Liang suddenly found out, what does this mean?
　　Is Laozi playing center normal?
　　Do you believe me let me jump the ball?
　　 But in the team training, you should listen to the coach.
　　 So Li Liang played the second team for 15 minutes.
　　 As a result, Hibbert led the first team and was led by Li Liang.
　　Hilbert couldn't match Li Liang in defense.
　　Li Liang is a three-point shot from outside the station.
　　Hilbert became bulky in front of the flexible Li Liang.
　　 More importantly, in the offense, he can't move Li Liang in a single post!
　　 This is very deadly. You can't defend your position, you can't score if you attack the wrong position...
　　Hilbert was very injured, and the strange feeling and state from the beginning of last season have been haunting him for a long time.
　　After the training, Hibbert left the training hall without a word.
　　 Bird looked at Hibbert's low face, knowing that he should not be too long in the Pacers.
　　Li Liang found Mike Brown after the training and asked: "Mike, did you tell Bird to let me play center? Are you still a bit human?"
　　 Brown spread his hand and said: "No, not me! Yesterday you obviously wanted to play the center!"
　　Li Liang was right when I thought about it, it was my own fight.
　　 "But you must have proposed to Larry that I should play the center. We will be practicing in October."
　　 This time Brown did not deny it and said, "Yes, Bruce, but don't you think the effect is good? Can you change the league, do you know?"
　　 "I have changed the alliance."
　　 "But change again."
　　 "If I change it again, I will let him go bankrupt."
　　 "This is not what you care about, in short you can become more unique."
　　Li Liang understands Brown's meaning. In fact, playing center is really interesting.
　　 But besides worrying about rhythm problems and fouls, Li Liang is also worried about his body. He is strong enough at the small forward position, and it is not enough to start at the center position.
　　 In fact, Li Liang's height is enough to hit the center, and the 206 center is not flying when he is connected to his hair.
　　 Center position is still weight and strength.
　　 Not enough weight means that you have to push hard to squeeze against the basket, which is very tiring.
　　 You are like O'Neill and Barkley. You don't need to force the card position. Go to that stop and lean back.
　　Defensive person, you squeeze it, push it, you push me to count your win.
　　 In the summer, Li Liang has gained 15 pounds. If he wants to stabilize the center position, his muscle mass has to rise.
　　Brown knew Li Liang's doubts and patted Li Liang's shoulder and said, "Okay, from today, you will increase your strength again."
　　 "How to improve?"
　　 "Of course I trained Bruce well, I believe you!"
　　Brown left after he finished speaking, anyway, he said, he said, Li Liang will be able to practice.
　　Li Liang thought, what should he do if he wants to become stronger?
　　【Physical Quality】The power tasks in the dimension are getting more and more difficult. Li Liang feels that he has to practice.
　　 It is more and more difficult to fight against the beast forwards of the 1990s, such as Anthony Mason and Larry Johnson.
　　 It’s better to say that the key is not finished, the next day is exhausting, you can’t compete.
　　What should I do?
　　Li Liang thought, something seemed to come to his mind.
　　……
　　 That night, at the Phillips Center in Atlanta, the Pacers challenged the Hawks away.
　　As one of the league's most tepid teams, this year the Hawks have made great efforts in the lineup.
　　Al Horford, Paul Millsap, Korver, Jeff Teague, Carol, the starting five are very strong players.
　　 Although there is no super star, the configuration is very balanced.
　　 And this is an undersize lineup of small balls.
　　 Horford played center, but his actual height is only about 208, which is the height of a power forward.
Not to mention Millsap, not to mention 203, whether 2 meters or not is a problem.
　　 Horford has the ability of medium and long range, and Millsap is a small steel cannon at the 3rd and 4th positions.
　　 This lineup is very flexible and changeable, it is really not easy for the Pacers to respond.
The course of the game proved this.
　　 Opening Pacers began to use the original starting lineup, let Hibbert play center.
　　 The result was behind, because the Pacers couldn't resist the Eagles' offense.
　　 The head coach of the Hawks is Budenholzer, a Spurs coach.
　　He has been Vicky's assistant coach since 1996.
　　 After coming to the Hawks, he brought some of the Spurs' ideas to the team.
　　 This game is like the Spurs in every aspect, including the defense against Li Liang.
　　Milsap was marking, and there were always people around Li Liang who rear-ended him and stopped him.
　　 The Hawks basically adopted the defensive strategy of letting Hibbert and Scola off, playing with you in the low post, picking up and down the air, and grabbing the backcourt.
　　Anyway, give the Pacers enough room to play inside, and then bet you are useless.
　　The inside line of the Pacers is really useless and can't kill people.
　　 In the second half, Bird once again used Li Liang to play the center lineup.
　　 The Pacers once approached the point difference, tied it, and relied on Li Liang's three-pointer to overtake the score.
　　 But after the eagle survived this attack wave, he stabilized the situation and played steadily.
　　 Horford successfully beat Li Liang in the low post, and also cooperated with Millsap, the two attacked the basket, causing Li Liang to foul.
　　Li Liang, who was unable to support himself, fouled five times in the last two minutes.
　　 Bird can only put Hibbert on the court again, and then the Pacers' offensive and defensive collapsed.
　　Li Liang has used a three-point shooting to improve the post in the end, but the result is still not hit.
　　 There is no way, the consumption is a bit large, and the feel is not so good.
　　At the same time, the Hawks' defense is really in place.
　　Everyone knows that Li Liang will definitely make a three-pointer, and will definitely make a super three-pointer.
　　 Therefore, Li Liang was defended very deadly, and finally shot, the ball was almost able to shoot, has made the Hawks players scared out of cold sweat.
　　 In the end, the Pacers went away and lost the Hawks with a 3-point disadvantage.
　　 The winning streak lasted only two games and ushered in the first defeat.
　　 After the game, Li Liang was of course frustrated, losing was always unpleasant.
　　 This game was intercepted by the Hawks. He shot 9 of 21 shots and scored 27 points. He also had 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
　　Li Liang has only 3 assists tonight, not because of a small number of passes, but because of the pass, teammate NM can't shoot!
　　 Said good eastern first?
　　 What is a good perennial league team?
　　 Say a good five tiger lineup, take off with a Li Liang?
　　 Shit, Bird is a liar.
　　 Now I have to deceive Laozi to play the center.
　　Li Liang thinks it right, but still depends on the help of the system son.
