Chapter 644: Whistle 4 splash

After the unexpected upset loss to the 76ers, the Pacers were followed by another upset on January 13.
Did they lose to the Minnesota Timberwolves 109:113 at home?
The Timberwolves have a terrible record this season. Before the Pacers, the record was 5 wins and 31 losses.
If it could be reversed, it would be the first in the league, and now it can only be the last one in the league.
Just such a team turned over the Pacers at the Conseco Arena.
Because the Timberwolves point guard Mo Williams ushered in a super explosion.
He had a great feeling tonight and scored 52 points!
Because George Hill was absent due to injury tonight, no one was in charge of Williams.
The outbreak of Williams led the Timberwolves to play well.
The Pacers failed to hold down the Timberwolves and lost at home.
Really won the league first, also lost the penultimate first, the Pacers unstable is really a fairy to save.
Li Liang's performance in this game is still stable, but it does not seem to be in a good state, playing with little passion.
After the game, Bird looked at Li Liang's lack of energy and asked him if he didn't sleep well after returning home.
Li Liang replied: "I just slept well, so my condition is not good."
Just after talking, Li Liang yawned again...
After Li Liang returned from Philadelphia, he began to do tasks in the system.
He first did the task of [Basic Defensive Ability Inside] and increased his ability value from 50 points to 60 points.
As a result, just in the task, participated in the 1969 debut of Jabal in the NBA, preventing Jabal from scoring 20.
Li Liang came to the Detroit Pistons in the 1969 season to replace Walter Bellamy. On the first day of the task, Jabal's scalp was numb and he wished to rush up to give him an elbow.
The next day, he still couldn't stop Jabal from scoring a score of 20. In the game in history, Jabal easily scored 29 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.
Li Liangyi gritted his teeth. On the day of the game, when taking a nap at noon, he took the risk of using the "self-explosive" method. During the game, he quietly dug the Detroit Pistons, allowing the Bucks to lead by more than 20 points in the first half. In the fourth quarter, Jabal just scored 20 points, and he stopped playing during garbage time!
Relying on this "dirty" method, Li Liang successfully improved his [inside defensive ability] to 60 points.
Difficult, too difficult.
For Li Liang, he has an inherent disadvantage in completing the inside mission.
After all, it's not a center, and then going to a historical game to fight against those excellent super insiders. How can you do it without tricks?
In this way, although Li Liang was taking a nap, he actually consumed a lot of energy. He participated in the game against the Timberwolves with dark circles, and the opponent broke out and lost another game.
But losing to the weakness, Li Liang felt it didn't matter.
In the Chicago Bulls' 72-win season, the 10 games they lost, many of them lost to the weak team.
It's time to send warmth, to gather character and gather people's hearts.
After losing to the Timberwolves, the Pacers received another two days of rest.
Li Liang continued to upgrade his defensive ability inside.
First of all, what he needs to improve most is [weak side defense], now McGee is not there, the Pacers' internal defense needs are great.
Li Liang's current ability to defend on the weak side is only 20 points. The defenses he usually displays during the game are all outside.
The speed is fast, and the ability to surround is strong, but there is no protection basket, and the pure blocking of what is blocked is not a matter of skill.
The inside defense needs good pre-judgment, air interception, can achieve the defense at the same time, without leaving the opponent too much pass transfer space.
In the two days, Li Liang represented the Celtics in 1962 and the Celtics in 1966, replacing Bill Russell in the NBA regular season at the time. Two games required him to block 5 and suppress The opponent's three-second zone score.
Although Russell is the greatest defensive center in history, the 1960s game was quite simple for Li Liang.
The key is also to represent the Celtics, shit, and play a few more times, you have to mix NPCs in the mission into good friends.
In this way, playing the game all the way, together with the use of value-added agents, mentioned his [weak side assist defense] ability value by 40 points in two days.
Playing the Detroit Pistons on January 16th, Li Liang had enough rest this time and was awesome at home.
He made 7 of 11 3-pointers, scored 45 points in a single game, and contributed 2 blocks and 17 rebounds on the defensive end.
In the third quarter, Li Liang himself blew the Pistons. Even if Jennings scored 37 points, he could not stop the Pacers at 112:97 at home and beat the Pistons.
Of course, George Hill was still sidelined by injury in this game, resulting in problems for the Pacers' No. 1 defense.
The improvement of Li Liang's internal defense is not obvious in the two games.
Originally defending this thing is not like offense, there is the most important and conspicuous data display of scoring.
Sometimes a player with more blocks and more rebounds does not mean that his defense is good.
Less blocks and fewer rebounds doesn't mean that his defense is as bad.
After winning the Pistons, the Pacers will start another road trip.
From January 17th to January 25th, five away games.
The opponents are the Hornets, Rockets, Eagles, Heat and Magic.
The difficulty of the schedule is not too big. These cities are located in the southern part of the United States, which is equivalent to a week in the south.
Li Liang made a plan for himself. In a week, the game will be played and the tasks will be done.
He wants to build himself into a good socialist center with both offensive and defensive skills, capable of both inside and outside...
Not right, Li Liang thought, I am not a center, I am not a center, I just want to help McGee top a tank.
After playing with the Pistons on the 16th, the Pacers flew to Charlotte overnight.
Because on the 17th they will play the Hornets back to back.
Every season at this time, the physical strength, energy and morale of the players will be a huge test.
Many strong teams can rely on inertia to survive this difficult period, even if the players are in poor condition, they can still win consecutively.
The Pacers are obviously not as strong as they are because they are single-core teams.
A single-core team has only one core, just like an aircraft with only one engine, the failure rate will always be higher than that of a twin-engine aircraft.
Fly to Charlotte early in the morning, the players got up at noon, and they will participate in the game at night.
Facing Joe's team, the Pacers are not in the state except Li Liang.
This product is really energetic. It is indeed a man who is full of physical strength and energy, and occasionally gets a bottle of Gatorade.
In the case of the team's offensive downturn to the extreme, everyone except Li Liang made only 1 of 11 3-pointers.
Li Liang still scored 30 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, plus sent 4 assists and less assists because teammates really can not shoot.
Both sides contributed a rather ugly game.
The Pacers scored 80 points in the game, while the Hornets were even lower and only scored 73 points.
At 80:73, the Pacers took away a victory on the road.
The 80-point scoring also created the Pacers' lowest single-game scoring this season.
JR-Smith and Stephenson are two guys. The outside line is all kinds of iron. Li Liang of the iron feels that his ears are deaf in the basket.
I hope they can finish in the regular season, and in the playoffs can not be iron.
After playing the Hornets, the Pacers moved to the aerospace city to die in the sky ~EbookFREE.me~ to challenge the Rockets away.
The Rockets' performance this season is still very eye-catching. In addition to the Warriors in the West, it can be said that they are the champions.
The Rockets, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Lakers and other teams all performed well.
Among them, the Thunder fell behind due to Durant's injury and basically withdrew from the championship.
The Clippers retain the heritage of last season's championship. Even if Li Liang is missing, he still has a strong strength.
After the ups and downs at the end of 14 years, the Lakers started from 15 years. With the recovery of Kobe's state and the gradual stabilization of Howard, the Lakers' record began to rise all the way, and slowly climbed to the sixth position.
The Blazers and Grizzlies dominated the Northwest and Southwest respectively.
After the Rockets' failure last season, they regrouped, Harden was more mature, and one-point explosiveness was stronger, just like the strong team in the west.
Every time Li Liang and Harden face off, there will be a lot of bells and whistles, depending on their acting skills.
