Chapter 46: Hot basket

　　Dalius Morris was the 41 players selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft.
　　The Lakers chose a 6-foot-4 defender, mainly to fill the gap left by the aging footsteps of the old fisher Fisher.
　　 But in this position, it is luck to get out of it, and it is a high probability that it cannot be out.
　　 11-12 season, Morris's performance was not satisfactory, in addition to the first show against the Clippers slightly stunning, later gradually reduced to mediocrity with the depth of the season.
　　 played a total of 19 games, averaging 2.4 points per game, and basically appeared in garbage time.
　　 Of course, Morris still has strength, but it is difficult for a team like the Lakers to give low-rank rookies room and opportunity.
　　From Morris, Li Liang could see a little bit of his future shadow.
　　Li Liang warned himself that even if he was selected by the Lakers, his NBA career only took a small step, and the road behind was still very long.
　　Now, all he has to do is give Morris some color in the one-on-one matchup.
　　To tell the truth, Li Liang's attack on the ball is really impossible. With his weight and height, he can't even play a guard like Morris.
　　If you can't stand the ball, it's impossible to play in the NBA.
　　 is like some big tall guys who can dominate the campus. If they are allowed to play against NBA players, 2 meters can not touch the 175 ordinary height players like Thomas.
　　 Because confrontation is not a level.
　　 Therefore, Li Liang simply took advantage of his strengths and avoided weaknesses. He learned the lesson he had played against Morris the night before and did not play with the ball.
　　 In the turn of Li Liang, he drew the ball directly after dribbling the ball on the outside line, so that he could still score two.
　　 When it was Morris's attack, Li Liangke would not be polite.
　　After all, Morris has practiced in the NBA for a year, which is incomparable to those NCAA rookies.
　　In the [Personal Training Center], Morris could attack Li Liang back and forth.
　　It was just behind, Li Liang slowly learned Morris's offensive routines and habits.
　　 Most players, even superstars, have their own tricks on the offensive end.
　　 is all proficient in the case of zero confrontation. At the critical moment, when it is fatal, you will use the way you are best at and used to.
　　Morris, like many small guards who cannot be played by the league, has a more general speed, lacks one-on-one confrontation, and is not good at the left hand.
　　 Morris also has a feature that when he does a crossover, there is a relatively obvious swing on the shoulder, which can be used to predict his change of direction.
　　Li Liang's defensive improvement is not only the movement and confrontation of the body, but also his consciousness and experience, which is also rapidly expanding.
　　Dalius-Morris in reality did not know that he had been seen through before confronting Li Liang.
　　 Attacked three times in a row, Morris was defended by Li Liang, and one of them was covered.
　　Li Liang forced Morris to take the left path, allowing him to use his left hand to break through, and then adjusted the pace and directly pressed his layup.
　　 Later, Morris had to use a jumper to solve the problem, and easily got one.
　　 But Li Liang's defensive ability has been recognized by Ryan West.
　　 He thought he was right, this kid really is a good 3D seedling.
　　 Since the Lakers returned to the Western Conference in 2008, the position of the small forward has been plaguing the team.
　　08 Finals, Radmanovic served as small forward, was thoroughly blown by Paul Pierce, Pierce won the finals MVP.
　　 With Ariza in 2009 and Artest in 10 years, the Lakers tasted the championship.
　　 Ten years later, Artest began to decline. In the 11-year semi-final against the Mavericks, Stojakovic was shot through.
　　 12 years, that is this year to fight the Thunder, not to mention, was held in the hands of Durant like plasticine.
　　 Now, with James and Durant entering maturity, the league has entered the era of point guards and small forwards.
　　The team's demand for 3D players is getting stronger and stronger. The Lakers certainly know this.
　　 It's just that this year they are a 60th pick, it is impossible to choose a good 3D player.
　　Ryan West, with his boldness and determination, picked out the hidden treasure of Li Liang.
　　He is now thinking about how to persuade management to make them willing to pick a Chinese player who is still in the NCAA and who is still black and black-eyed in the draft.
　　 Judging from the tone of the former Bass, he tends to pick an inside player at the 60th pick.
　　West thought that it would be nice if he could let Little Bass come over to see Li Liang's training.
　　 is not right, he may not feel useful after seeing the trial training, maybe he will feel that Li Liang does not have the ability to hold the ball.
　　Li Liang has already ended the confrontation with Morris. The two shake hands to greet each other. Morris said: "The defense is good, I remember you."
　　Li Liang thought, hehe, I will forget you.
　　Li Liang came off the court and saw West's brow furrowed, thinking he was not satisfied with his performance.
　　Li Liangdao said: "Ryan, I'm here today, I have played all of my own."
　　Because he was well prepared, Li Liang played 100% today, and he was very satisfied.
West reached out and shook hands with Li Liang, saying: "Yes, you played well. But I told you at noon, the decision is not mine. But I will try my best to convince the draft team, you will definitely be a surprise ."
　　West said so, but he was thinking, how should he convince?
　　 The current Scouting Director of the Lakers is Jess Bath, the youngest son of Old Bath.
　　 But he has no right to speak. The real decision rests with his elder brother Jim Bass, also known as little Bath, and general manager Kupchak.
　　 For Bath, to be honest, he can't be compared with his father in the eyes of players.
　　 Moreover, the old Bath is willing to give power to make decisions for the following people, but the little Bath is different. He likes to make his own decisions.
　　 This is where the trouble is. An under-professional leader is very responsible.
It's really difficult to do, if there is a heavyweight who can say a few words for Li Liang~EbookFREE.me~ West is a little regretful now, knowing that he should find some authority, what is the name of the team Watch the trial training to make them realize the value of Li Liang.
　　 When the time to persuade Little Bass, there will be more people on West's side.
　　 But this trick is not necessarily useful.
　　 The power struggle within the Lakers has been fierce, and many decisions are not based on basketball considerations.
　　 "Hey~" West thought of this, and couldn't help but sigh.
　　Family businesses have so much trouble, not to mention the Lakers basketball giants.
　　Li Liang looked at West with a frowning face, some guessed his worry, but Li Liang was too lazy to comfort him.
　　 On the contrary, he said: "Mr. West, if you are not satisfied with my performance and you are not sure that you can select me at the 60th pick, then please tell me in advance, I can go to another team to participate in the trial training."
　　West said: "No, no, I am very satisfied. I have 80% certainty that I can choose you at the draft. But... there is no absolute thing."
　　Li Liang snorted in his heart, everything is not absolute, then I must go to another team to try.
　　 Otherwise, for a chance for the Lakers, give up the trial training of other teams, and eventually become a draft, it will lose money.
　　Li Liang packed up and was about to leave with Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu.
　　 There was a roar outside, as if many people were coming.
　　Wei Dazhi's nose is very sensitive, he smelled the taste of his peers, and there are many peers, indicating that there are big events or big people.
　　Wei Dazhi didn't say anything, rushed outside to check the situation.
　　 After a few seconds, Wei Dazhi ran back and said, "Then... that... Kobe, Kobe is coming!"
　　 Li Liang was shocked, was a hot basket coming?
