On the morning of July 12, Li Liang woke up from his sleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief, last night's task was successfully completed.

In a 1966 Boston Celtics game against the Philadelphia 76ers, he replaced Havlicek again, got 3 steals, and helped the team beat the opponent.

1966 was the year that Havlicek began to become an All-Star, and it was also the last year for the Celtics to win eight consecutive championships.

Li Liang is already familiar with the lineup and style of play of the Celtics in the 1960s.

His [Steal] ability value successfully reached 40 points, and the basic defensive ability of the outside line reached 66 points.

Compared with the previous few game tasks, Li Liang no longer needs to use some opportunistic methods, but is using his performance on the field to achieve his goals.

One reason is that the NBA level in the 1960s was not high, the speed was slow, the confrontation was poor, and the technical and tactical level of the team could not be compared with the present.

It won't be so easy if you play mission games in the 90s and early 2000s.

Secondly, Li Liang's strength has really improved.

Not only has his stats increased, but his confidence, experience, and mind are all growing rapidly.

In the few years in Kentucky, although his training did not fall behind, his actual combat experience is still relatively lacking.

The system's several missions filled his vacancy very well.

He is still playing a real NBA game. The on-the-spot feeling and experience in handling the ball cannot be obtained through training.

Li Liang, who was in a good mood, got up and tidied up.

When he opened the door, he found that Zhu Shu had already made breakfast in the kitchen.

Luggage was also placed at the door, and today he and Wei Dazhi are going to Las Vegas to represent the Lakers in the summer league.

Zhu Shu has arranged everything properly.

This broker is simply perfect.

If it was another agent with other players under him, Li Liang would definitely be out of control now.

As for what to make breakfast, pack your luggage, arrange your itinerary, and book a flight ticket, don't even think about it.

Hiring an agent is equivalent to finding another life assistant!

Kill two birds with one stone!

Li Liang felt embarrassed after thinking about it, paying one person to do two jobs.

As a reward, he ordered a PS4 and a large-screen LCD TV for Zhu Shu.

The goods haven't arrived yet, but Zhu Shu will probably receive them when he plays in Vegas.

Girls who love to play games are really good, after all, game consoles are cheaper than luxury goods.

Moreover, the luxury goods can only be used by her alone, and the game console can be played by two people.

Halfway through breakfast, Wei Dazhi rushed out of the room, screaming, "Nash is here! Nash is here! Nash! Nash!"

Li Liangdao: "Why is Nash here? Why are you so nervous?"

Wei Dazhi said: "Look at the news! Last night, Nash was traded to the Lakers! It was just announced this morning!"

As soon as Li Liang heard this, he quickly turned on his phone and checked. Sure enough, the news about the trade between the Lakers and the Suns was overwhelming.

The Lakers traded two-time MVP winner Steve Nash from the Suns with four draft picks in 2013, 14, and 18.

After missing Chris Paul, the Lakers finally ushered in a super point guard.

Although Nash is 38 years old, he also led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals two years ago and played six games against the Lakers.

The trade sent the NBA media into a frenzy, especially the Los Angeles sports world.

In comparison, there is no relevant report about the news of the Lakers going to the summer league today, except for a text message.

Nash is a player that Li Liang likes very much. It feels good to think of playing with him.

After Li Liang had breakfast, Li Liang said goodbye to Zhu Shu, and drove to Los Angeles International Airport with Wei Dazhi.

The Lakers Summer League team will gather here and fly to Vegas to start the summer league.

The whole team plus Li Liang is a total of 11 people, including Robert Thackeray and Darius Morris.

The others are some undrafted and marginal players who were recruited by the Lakers and used as cannon fodder in the summer league.

This is the case with a typical pyramid industry such as professional sports. The most dazzling top is supported by many unknown knockouts.

After Li Liang arrived at the airport, he joined the team.

Looking at these unfamiliar faces and names, I thought that everyone might be cannon fodder, and they would not leave any place in the long and glorious history of the NBA.

But being with the cannon fodder does not affect Li Liang's mood, on the contrary, because everyone is transparent, getting along is very natural.

Robert Thackeray is as cheerful as ever, responding positively to whatever anyone says.

A player named Christian Ienga was selected by the Cavaliers in the first round of 2009.

This guy is pretty lucky. He has never played in the NCAA and played in the Spanish Second Division in his early years.

Later, the Cleveland Cavaliers somehow dug him out of the Second Division and drafted him in the first round!

He stayed in Spain for a year, and after 10 years in the United States after playing the summer league, the Cavaliers gave him a 4-year, 5 million contract.

LeBron James had just decided to go to the Miami Heat that summer, which may have been a remedy for the crazy Cavaliers management.

Their talent mining ability is really unpredictable.

Anyway, the lucky Ienga went from Congo to Spain and then to the United States for no reason, and got a million-dollar contract.

Finally, the Cavaliers traded Ienga to the Lakers last summer for Luke Walton.

And Ienga's level does not get any chance to play in the Lakers.

The contract expired this summer, and he signed a short-term contract to play the summer league for the Lakers.

In short, this guy is a lucky boy, he loves to laugh, after all, people who love to laugh are not too unlucky.

Think about it, you are an African, you played well in the Spanish second division, and suddenly you were selected by the NBA in the first round, and you got a contract of 5 million, and you don’t play much, can you not be happy every day? ?

Li Liang and the African got along quite well. Ienga said that he had a younger brother who used to study in Guangzhou, China, and also loved playing basketball.

Li Liang didn't expect that he would have a lot to do with China, and the two had even more common topics.

Everyone chatted happily along the way, and they arrived at the legendary Las Vegas in the afternoon.

America's casino city, entertainment paradise in the desert.

This time the Lakers Summer League is led by Mike Brown himself, and Brown is very loose with the players.

After arriving at the hotel, he announced his respective activities. He will go to the COX Gymnasium to practice tomorrow morning and start the game in the afternoon.

Anyway, they are a group of fringe people. For the coaches, the summer league is more like a vacation and a chance to party.

When the players heard the news, they broke up happily and went out to play in twos and threes.

Where is Las Vegas?

In addition to the casino, all kinds of entertainment facilities are available.

Anyway, if you want to degenerate here, you will be provided with eighteen layers of hell here.

As a young man, Li Liang certainly loves to play, but this time he held back.

Faced with the invitation from Thackeray, Ienga and others, Li Liang refused, and he decided to go to practice.

Seeing that Li Liang didn't go out, Mike Brown asked him what was going on, and Li Liang asked him if he had a place to play.

Brown looked at Li Liang. Of course he was very impressed with Li Liang. The call at the press conference showed that this young man is not simple.

However, Brown, who is not a simple young man, has seen a lot, and everything still depends on his performance on the field.

Everyone else is going to play, but he is going to play and practice?

Hmm... he must be an idiot.

That's what Brown thought.

He thinks that if you are a second-round pick, if you don't take this opportunity to have fun, can you practice to become a star?

But he still said: "You can go to COX Stadium, it's open today, you can go in with your Lakers ID card."

So Li Liang packed his luggage and set off for COX Stadium.

Mike Brown shook his head, thinking that no matter how hard you practice, it will be difficult to get ahead, because this is the Lakers.

Thinking of this, Brown himself sighed to himself, how long can he stay in Los Angeles?

Don't want to, let's go out and play, Brown decided to relax and don't want to worry about it.

No wonder, how can Mike Brown feel Li Liang's heart at the moment, basketball is the greatest pleasure for him.

Because he is growing rapidly, every day is a happy growth.

And Mike Brown's growth has stagnated with the departure of that man.

Apart from changing glasses, he has not found a new growth point in his life.

Now that the Lakers have another Nash, people's expectations for the Lakers have further increased.

Can Mike Brown still do his job and live up to expectations?

Brown scratched his bald head and left the hotel to have some fun.
