Chapter 668: voluntary

In the away locker room of the Toyota Center, everyone looked at each other.
A three-time Finals MVP winner, offered to play off the bench?
I have never seen this scene.
Donovan, as the head coach, did indeed have the idea of ​​letting one of the three people play the bench.
Especially in the first game, Li Liang played well with Augustine, Waiters and others.
But this kind of thinking is just a flash, Donovan wants to sit in the Thunder coach for a while.
Who knows, Li Liang himself offered to come off the bench, and it was so unbelievable.
He didn't believe it very much. He thought Li Liang must be joking.
"No, Bruce, I think it's a waste to let you play the bench. We will have other tactical arrangements and adjustments to play the team's strength..."
Donovan's tone was slightly panicked, could it not be panic?
I just wanted to close the door to adjust, but the number one person on the team said he wanted to play the bench?
If so, what would the fans think, what would the team owner think?
What would the coaches of other teams in the league think of him? You won’t play two or two kings. What is your use?
Donovan was under great pressure, and he worried that this was Li Liang's stance to retreat.
I didn't expect Li Liang to take it seriously, nonsense, if the task was taken, could he not take it seriously?
The system has given the first step of this task: [Play as a substitute and finish 10 games to score the first in the game. 】
The system has more tricks than before, the previous tasks are all in one step, and rewards will be given for completion.
The task of this [bench life] is different. It has many steps and is part of the [achievement system]. After all the steps are completed, a good reward will be given.
As for the reward, Li Liang did not know.
It shouldn't be too bad anyway.
Now the system has evolved, and it has begun to learn from certain operators and started selling packages.
It used to be a single task, but now it is a template and a series of tasks. I wonder if it will cost you half of it?
Donovan is still thinking about Li Liang's intentions, but Li Liang is thinking about the problem of system tasks.
Mike Brown stepped forward and asked Li Liang: "Bruce, are you sure you are not kidding?"
Li Liang nodded, "No kidding, I miss the time as a substitute."
When Brown heard it, his scalp was numb, and he returned to the time when Li Lianggang came to the Lakers as a substitute.
As soon as the goods sat down, they began to whisper "the coach asked me to go" and almost broke Brown.
Finally, he was finally lifted up to save this ear.
But think about it, that time is really quite memorable.
...
The Thunder lost to the Rockets. After only three straight wins at the beginning of the season, they suffered their first defeat, which surprised many people.
The power of the Big Three of the Thunder has not been fully revealed, and Donovan's pressure is indeed very great.
On the other side, the Thunder have shown extremely strong momentum in the Western Conference with the strongest rival Warriors slaughtering the Grizzlies by 50 points.
The Rockets have won four straight games after defeating the Thunder.
Dwight Howard felt pretty good on the Rockets and was greatly released.
Internally, Donovan asked General Manager Presti for instructions and expressed Li Liang's idea of ​​being a substitute.
Presti was also quite surprised. Li Liang, a player of this coffee class and level, took the initiative to be a substitute?
This guy is really different.
Many superstar players have never played a substitute in their entire lives and have been since the first game in the NBA.
Letting them play the bench is an insult to them.
And the players who are willing to play the bench are all in a great team and need him to give.
For example, Havlicek is in the Celtics and Ginobili is in the Spurs.
They are real teams, and the teams they are on are retiring their jerseys.
And Li Liang is indeed a big star for the Thunder, but it is clear from top to bottom that he is probably a passenger who brings glory.
Unexpectedly, for the team and victory, he was willing to make such a big sacrifice so early.
This is just a game lost, the Thunder have enough adjustment ability.
Of course, if Li Liang is willing to play off the bench, it is indeed good news for the whole team.
Presti can't help but feel a bit emotional. It seems that in this materialistic world, some people really don't value the name, and can really think of the collective and the team. Is this the great dedication of the country across the Pacific?
This kind of touch spread quickly throughout the Thunder team, from the staff to the players, from the boss to the sweeping aunt.
On November 3, the Thunder team returned to Oklahoma to prepare for the No. 4 home game against the Thunder.
After Li Liang came to the training hall, Li Liang felt that from the doorman to the uncle in the laundry room, from Kevin Durant to head coach Donovan, everyone looked at him with a respectful look.
This is the admiration of the mediocre for the noble morals.
Kevin Durant's dissatisfaction with Li Liang has completely disappeared.
He was not impressed by Li Liang's ball skills, but by his high spirit.
If Li Liang is a veteran who has played for more than ten years and can't get the champion to hug his thighs, this is fine.
Li Liangke is right at the peak, and people are here to teach you to win the championship.
After hearing this news, several Thunder bosses were also very moved, and said privately that if they get the championship, even if Li Liang only stays for one season, he will retire him.
Anyway, Li Liang took a task and by the way became a person of high moral quality.
...
On the evening of November 4, the Energy Arena, the Thunder's fifth game of the new season, against the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors also achieved a four-game winning streak in the first four games. Although they always collapsed in the playoffs, the Raptors maintained a good momentum in the regular season and steadily moved forward. The fastest update computer::/
Before the game started, the Thunder reported their list of players. The technical officer saw that Li Liang was not there and wondered: "Is Bruce Lee injured? There is no news that he is on the injury list..."
"No, no, Bruce Lee is on the bench." The Thunder staff explained.
The people at the technical station couldn't believe it. Did the Thunder put Li Liang in the bench?
What's the difference between putting Jordan on the bench and Donovan don't want to be a coach?
"Oh, Bruce volunteered as a substitute, he proposed it himself." Thunder staff added another sentence.
Then, when the game is about to start, the opening will introduce the players.
Li Liang is still in the opening introduction list, but when the players took off their coats and went to the game, Li Liang took the bench and returned to the bench.
The replacement for Li Liang was Thunder veteran Nick Collison.
Fans felt a little weird. This is the fifth game. Li Liang came to the bench?
The on-site commentary was amazed when introducing both parties.
You know, many stars are unwilling to play off the bench.
Especially those players who have been making All-Stars all the year round, even in the later stages of their careers, their strength declines severely, and they are still reluctant to play bench.
Li Liang was sitting on the bench like that?
It's really incredible~EbookFREE.me~ I don't know what personality charm and iron fist means Donovan has.
Actually he didn't have any, Li Liang was voluntary.
Li Liang was sitting on the bench, and Mike Brown was sitting next to him as usual. Everything seemed to be back to the days of the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Mike, I want to drink water."
"The game just started, you haven't played yet."
"I know, but I want to drink water."::
"OK, I'll pass you water."
Li Liang did not want to drink water because he was thirsty, he just felt a little bored.
Sitting on the bench this time, I'm really not used to it.
It seems to be a little bit adapted.
