Chapter 895: Still a hero

Li Liang failed to win the loan, but it was innocent to him.
A single game of 45 points, 8 of 20 three-pointers, 40% of the three-pointers.
A large number of shots, superb ability to digest the ball, led the Chinese team to lead the American team on the court for a time, and played back and forth with the United States, quite intense.
If this is to put Li Liang on a strong European team, whether the US team can win the championship in this year's Olympics will really be a big question mark.
Unfortunately, the overall strength of the Chinese team is indeed too weak.
Just like Ronaldo in Portugal, no matter how good Ronaldo is, it is still too difficult for the national team to achieve good results in the World Cup.
The current level of the Chinese team in the basketball world is a bit better than the level of Portugal in the football world.
Of course, for the US team, it is really a very happy thing to be able to beat Li Liang in the game.
Such a good thing happened again two days later.
The second warm-up match between the two sides was arranged at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Because there are a large number of Chinese fans in San Francisco, this warm-up match is full again.
This time the American team did not give the Chinese team any chance.
Old K didn't let the substitute players start, and went directly to Durant and Thompson to double-team Li Liang.
Li Liang has three heads and six arms, and there is no way to face three double teams.
The Chinese team was suppressed and fell behind by 15 points in the first quarter.
In the end, Li Liang only scored 21 points under the strict defense of the US team.
But Yi Jianlian scored 25 points.
Li Liang attracted most of the defensive attention, and Yi Jianlian had a lot of room to play and performed quite well.
In the end, the US team 119:85, beat the Chinese team by 34 points, and did not allow the Chinese team to take the lead.
In the face of the huge power gap, personal strength does seem a lot smaller.
To be honest, if the Chinese team has the lineup of 2008, plus Li Liang, and the Beijing Olympics sits on the home court, Li Liang is absolutely confident to overthrow the American Dream Team at Wukesong Stadium.
Kobe and James didn't work.
Eight years later, the Chinese team is still No. 1 in Asia.
But the No. 1 position in Asia is not so stable anymore.
After the second game, Li Liang couldn't help feeling a little lost.
He was actually ridiculed by Curry.
Because he was playing in Oakland, Curry, who withdrew from the national team due to a knee injury, ran to the sidelines to watch the game.
Curry smiled happily watching Li Liang's rare deflation in the game.
One of them was on the court and the other was off the court, and they had friendly exchanges from time to time.
After the game, Curry went to the locker room of the Chinese team.
Of course, he didn't laugh at Li Liang, he wanted to invite Li Liang to dinner.
Curry wanted to make the best of the friendship of the landlord, and invited Li Liang to eat in Auckland.
After playing this warm-up match, the Chinese team will set off for Brazil, in Brazil for the final warm-up match, and then will begin their Rio Olympic journey.
The team has booked a plane for tomorrow, so Li Liang can stay in Oakland for one night.
Facing Curry's kind invitation, Li Liang decided to go to the appointment.
Of course, Li Liang still knows Curry's calculations. Isn't this guy wanting to recruit himself?
No, Li Liang believes that this statement is inappropriate. It should be said that the Warriors have entered Li Liang's recruitment list.
For Li Liang, as long as he wants, any team will raise his hands and feet, pouting his and welcome.
It's not that the Warriors haven't thought about it.
After all, the Warriors just cleared enough salary space this summer, enough to give Li Liang a big contract.
Li Liang has won four championships in the NBA, but he has never signed a major contract for the championship.
The rookie contract in the first year, the middle class in the second year, and the maximum salary in the third year.
But because of his repeated horizontal jumps, the contract amount is not high, let alone the number of years.
Now because Zhu Shu wants to settle down in California, all four California teams have come into Li Liang's sight.
The Warriors are so strong, plus Li Liang, if nothing else, next year's championship must be theirs.
Li Liang will achieve his five consecutive hegemony, and the NBA will enter the "big monopoly era."
The temptation of this achievement is not trivial.
Even if this result will lead to a sharp decline in the NBA's competitiveness, a decline in ratings, a sharp increase in overseas market share (there is already a trend), a decline in local influence, and eventually a decline in the four major leagues.
Li Liang just doesn't care about these.
However, Li Liang hoped to do something different.
The dinner in the evening was very happy, and both of them took their families.
Curry took his daughter Riley together, and the family can be said to be happy.
This kind of home offensive has a very obvious effect on ordinary players.
Who can refuse the temptation to join a strong team, work with friendly colleagues, and have good family friendships?
Even if Li Liang is such a wonderful work, he has to consider joining the Warriors.
In the movie "Scent of a Woman", the blind officer played by Pacino once said in his final speech: Now that I have come to a crossroads in life, I always know which way is right, without exception, I I know, but I never leave, why? Because it's so hard.
Li Liang has walked the most difficult road in the previous four years (he thinks it is difficult). Now he can walk a little bit more comfortably. Who would be uninterested?
During the whole meal, Curry did not express the intention of recruiting Li Liang, but he felt that he was always seduce Li Liang.
For example, it was mentioned from time to time that I didn't want to come to the Warriors, but after I really got here, I felt the fragrance.
Before the 2009 draft, Curry always wanted to go to New York.
Another example is the various interesting things in the Warriors team, how friendly and united the team atmosphere is.
In the end, Curry also told Li Liang, "Next year we will definitely go all out to win the championship, definitely, do our best."
This is both a temptation and a threat.
In revenge, Li Liang ordered all the most expensive dishes in the restaurant.
Then, he really finished eating.
Curry looked at Li Liang's dissatisfied stomach and couldn't help shaking his head, "Your appetite seems to have grown again."
Li Liang said to Curry: "The greater the appetite, the better the football skills."
Curry was dubious. Li Liang said something true and false. You don't know which sentence he is serious.
After dinner, the two families said goodbye.
Zhu Shu was reluctant to let go of holding little Riley.
It can be seen that Zhu Shu still likes children very much.
But the two have no plans to have children so far.
The marriage is already on the agenda, and it will be decided next year.
Tomorrow Li Liang will go to Brazil with the team, Zhu Shu decides to stay in California and return directly to Los Angeles to start summer work and not accompany Li Liang to participate in the Olympics.
Li Liang was a little sad, and almost laughed in the car.
"Hey, what do you think of me going to the Warriors next year?" Li Liang asked Zhu Shu. He still needs to respect Zhu Shu's opinions.
Li Liang felt that in Zhu Shu's heart, going to the Warriors by himself should be the best choice.
Although Los Angeles and the Bay Area are more than 500 kilometers apart, the transportation in the United States is very developed, and the air travel is very convenient. It takes only four or five hours to drive ~ EbookFREE.me~ is still very convenient.
If Li Liangneng joins the Warriors, the salary is high and the job is easy, the champion is expected to be soft, and he will have a lot of time to spend with his family and to allocate more energy to the family. It is indeed a very good choice.
Zhu Shu was silent for a while, and said: "Well...I think you should not go to the Warriors."
"Ah? Why, isn't it good to go to the Warriors?"
"It's good to go to the Warriors, but..."
"But what, do you want me to go back to Los Angeles?"
"No, I think you are a person with higher pursuits and should not be coveted. Going to the Warriors is indeed the best choice in all respects, but this road is too easy. In my heart, you are not Such a person." Zhu Shu said seriously.
Li Liang turned his head and looked at Zhu Shu. Only then did he realize that after all these years, he was still the hero in the eyes of the opponent.
The hero of the world should do what the hero of the world should do.
