Chapter 69: Sixties

　　 entered the mission, the surrounding environment lit up.
　　 A slightly worn dressing room, but the space is fairly spacious.
　　 Li Liang was standing there, someone shot him from behind, "Boy, get your shoes on, what's going on?"
　　 Looking back, he was a middle-aged man with a little bald head and five short statures.
　　Li Liang recognized him, this is the Celtics head coach, and later the Cardinal, Reed Auerbach.
　　He is only 45 years old this year. He has not yet become the Archbishop of the NBA. He has slapped his gray hair and is patrolling the territory.
　　Li Liang looked at his jersey. No. 17, he really replaced Havlicek.
　　 took out the shoes from Havlicek's locker, a pair of black Converse flat shoes, the shoelaces were not worn yet.
　　 "Hey, hurry up, sit down and get your shoes done."
　　 A black player sitting in front of the locker patted the stool and asked Li Liang to sit down and wear shoelaces.
　　 This man is wearing a No. 16 jersey with "Sanders" written on his back.
　　 He wore a pair of glasses and, like an old lady doing needlework, sat on a stool and seriously wore shoelaces.
　　Li Liang sat down beside him, put on his shoelaces and put on his sneakers.
　　 The 1960s sneakers are not much better than the 1950s. They are still rubber-soled flat shoes.
　　 This is the second time Li Liang has participated in this early NBA game in his mission.
　　In theory, according to Li Liang's current strength, the NBA in the 1960s was enough to become a team starter.
　　With his long three-pointer, he can drop the chin of players of this era.
　　 But Li Liang knows that there are a lot of troubles in playing games of this era.
　　 One is the issue of rules. The rules and scales of that era were very different from those of the present.
　　 participated in the initial mission at that time, playing 1950 competition, Li Liang was blown through several times.
　　 didn't get used to it until later, got through the rules, and successfully passed the level.
　　 The second is the competition of this era, the task requirements are always more.
　　Like the previous three tasks of "contain the rookie", there is no requirement to win the game.
　　 The difficulty of this rookie requires the Celtics to defeat the Royals.
　　 If Li Liang's impression is correct, Havlicek is still a rookie this year, sitting on the bench.
　　 If Auerbach wouldn't let him play, he wouldn't be wrong if he lost the game.
　　 "Damn, do you want me to scold the Cardinal?"
　　Li Liang thought, as a last resort, only to pinch Auerbach's neck to force him to play.
　　 "Hey boy, do you want to smoke a cigarette?"
　　A man with a fair-haired blond approached Li Liang and asked.
　　 "Well, no, I don't like smoking." Li Liangdao, he felt that this person had a tobacco smell.
　　 "Don't like it? Oh, how uninteresting life is not like smoking." The man turned around and Li Liang saw "Heinsohn" printed on his back.
　　 Turned out to be the famous super invincible big gun of the Celtics Tom Heinsohn
　　Li Liang heard Wei Dazhi said that among the old Celtics players, this is Heinsohn's favorite smoker.
　　 And Havlicek never smoked, so did Li Liang.
　　 "Hey, who is this Celtics Nyima, how do you rule the NBA." Li Liang murmured.
　　 "Where is Bill, Bill! Where is Bill!"
　　Aulbach toured around and found that the team's star Bill Russell was not there.
　　The white player wearing number 14 said: "Bill is in the toilet, he is vomiting."
　　Li Liang recognized that this is the legendary Celtics point guard Bob Cousy.
　　Because Wei Dazhi is a Celtic fan, he has been chatting about the old stars of the Celtics all day long.
　　 What about Cousy, Sharman, Russell, Double Jones, Heinsohn, Jojo White, Cowens and so on.
　　The players who looked ancient to Li Liang as if they were playing in the Stone Age, now appear vividly around him.
　　 He also became a part of it.
　　 At this time, the toilet door opened and a tall black player came out.
　　 Cousy handed him a glass of water, he rinsed his mouth and spit it into the trash.
　　 This is Bill Russell, the absolute ruler of the NBA in the 1960s and the founder of the 13-year 11 championship.
　　 is a freak who is a little dull, sensitive, and weird. At the same time, he will be nervous and will cause stomach cramps and vomiting before the game.
　　Li Liang had seen him before. In the mission of "The King of Threes", he and Rick Barry were on the sidelines.
　　His level of commentary is really inexhaustible, almost catching up with CCTV Erping.
　　Russell looks much younger now, and he is only 26 years old this year.
　　 Seeing Russell come out, Auerbach gathered all the people together, asked a few words together, and then appeared together.
　　Li Liang followed his teammates into the stadium, the famous Boston Garden Arena.
　　 "I depend, this stadium is really broken." Li Liang couldn't help expressing emotion.
　　The Boston Garden Arena was built in 1928. Below the stadium is a train station.
　　 The capacity of the stadium is not small, you can see that the stadium is already full of spectators.
　　Compared with the 1950 competition, the spectators' dress has become different, becoming more casual and lifelike.
　　 Boston's stadium floor is a parquet floor, which is spliced ​​with square plates.
　　Li Liang dribbles the ball and warms up, Nima has uneven floor!
　　However, when the lights on the scene gradually lighted up, the audience was more and more, and the noise was getting louder and louder. As the game neared the start, the Boston Garden Arena began to appear spectacular and solemn.
　　 Today, the Celtics opponent is the Cincinnati Royals, they have a triple-double king of the 1960s, Oscar Robertson.
　　As a well-known NBA season triple-double player, Robertson's big name Li Liang is of course resonant.
　　 While warming up, Li Liang ran to the center line and looked at Robertson.
　　 The superstars of that era were very different from ordinary players, and they were very talented at first glance.
　　 In the 1960s, players were generally smaller in size, and their muscles were not sufficiently developed and strong.
　　 Robertson is an exception, he is tall and burly, thick body, very long arms, and has a strong buttocks.
　　Li Liang thought that if Robertson played in today's NBA, he would definitely be a strong point guard.
　　 "Beep beep!"
　　The referee blew his whistle to signal that the game was about to start and the players were ready to play.
　　 The NBA game process in the 1960s is still very simple, and Boston Garden Stadium has no cheerleaders.
　　 After the introduction of the players, the match between the two sides will begin.
　　Li Liang sat off the court, waiting to watch the game beside Auerbach.
　　 This is fine, Li Liang would like to observe first, to see how to play in this era, he knows well.
　　By the way, observe and observe Oscar Robertson's playing style, think about how to defend him when he debuts, and how to steal three steals from his hands.
　　 The game started, Russell and Royals center Wayne Embry jumped the ball.
　　Li Liangyi looked at, the Royals center is shorter than himself, estimated at about 2 meters, 6 feet 8 look.
　　The center of that era, like Russell, was very tall at about 2.08 meters, and many of them were less than 2 meters.
　　 So, like Chamberlain's 2 meters 16 with long arms, it is a monster that is a giant of the stadium today. It is not surprising to score 100 points in a game.
　　Li Liang thought, I wonder if he will be allowed to defend Chamberlain in the future, preventing him from taking 100 points?
　　 was thinking, Russell jumped the ball successfully, the Celtics took the lead in attacking.
　　The Celtics point guard is Bob Cousy, but he didn't dribble through the half.
　　 ball control is shooting guard Sam Jones, wearing a No. 24 jersey, with a rumpled face like an old man.
　　Li Liang watched from the sidelines, Jones passed the ball to Cousy who was mentioned, and Cousy took the ball and broke through from the middle with a twisted body.
　　 is not fast, the dribble is as monotonous as before, and the opponent's defense is not fierce enough.
　　 "It seems that the physical confrontation is not particularly fierce, so pay attention to the scale."
　　The NBA entered the 1960s, and the control of physical confrontation was tightened, and there would be no fights in the 40s and 50s.
　　 Kuxi dribble the ball from the middle, after a less stable stop, suddenly flicked to the side and back, the ball passed to the outside.
　　 Passing like this without watching people was very rare in those days, so Cousy was treated as an alien early and no team wanted him.
　　Just when he was going to drive a taxi, Auerbach took him into the Celtics and opened a legend.
　　 The 1962-1963 season is already in his late career. His speed is obviously not good enough, but the passing of the ball is more precise.
Sam Jones, who received the ball from the perimeter, sold it with a jumper at a distance of approximately 15 feet!
The ball was "tied" and hit the rim. Oscar Robertson rushed into the post and caught a backboard. ~EbookFREE.me~ Li Liang looked at the Royal team's lineup. The center was only 2 meters away, Robertson Just 195 yourself.
　　 With a strong body, Robertson has no problem playing the center on the field, averaging 10 boards per game.
　　Robertson advanced with the ball. His dribble, like Cousy, had the characteristics of that era.
　　 One-handed, low-level, careful dribbling, fearing that the referee will be dissatisfied to send you a circle gesture.
　　Robertson and Embry completed a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.
　　 Embrine cut, Robertson jumped a Nese pass, Embry received the layup!
　　 was a big hat by Russell!
　　 Sam Jones got the ball and pushed back quickly.
　　The Celtics counterattacked very fast, and the whole team ran up to make the floor of the arena bang loudly.
　　 This ball Sam Jones missed his own layup and Russell who followed up made it.
　　 The scene was cheered, the Celtics took the lead in scoring.
　　 The game started less than 30 seconds, the two sides have been back and forth for three rounds.
　　Basically play a tactical cooperation will directly shoot.
　　Li Liangsuan understands why rebounds were so high back then.
　　Like Russell, grab 30, 40 or even 50 rebounds in one game.
　　 One is because his body advantage is too obvious, and the other is that the game was really fast and the tactics were relatively simple.
　　Observed for a while, Li Liang had a record in his heart.
　　 He poked Auerbach who was sitting next to him, and said, "Hey, coach, when will you let me play? Let me play?"
　　 "Don't worry, what are you in a hurry?" Auerbach glanced at Li Liang, the game was just beginning.
　　 "If you don't let me go, the team will lose!"
