Chapter 132 A fool(1/2)

On November 9th, the special edition of "Behind the Scenes of the Lakers" was broadcast on TWC TV. It took half an hour to tell the story of Li Liang winning the championship from the University of Kentucky, participating in the draft, conducting trial training, entering the NBA, and achieving amazing performances after the start of the new season.

Once broadcast, a climax of viewership was set off, and the ratings of TWC TV station were rising steadily, reaching the highest peak since the show started.

Although it has not yet reached the level of "Lin Crazy" last year, TWC obviously has a longer-term plan.

This is just part of the documentary against Li Liang. The season has just begun. Later, they have more opportunities to erect a monument for him and create a new image of a counterattack against Chinese players.

After all, unlike Jeremy Lin, who is dominated by white people, the number of Chinese people is very large in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other places in California.

There is a certain market for Chinese players here, otherwise the Warriors would not have signed Jeremy Lin at the beginning, but they just didn't really pay attention to him.

TWC doesn't want to miss this opportunity of Li Liang, and his ostentatious stadium personality and passionate playing style are very popular among American fans.

Li Liang's No. 28 jersey sales have soared during this period. The Lakers never expected anyone to buy Li Liang's jerseys, so the stocking is not very sufficient.

Now, the No. 28 jersey in the Lakers Sports Supplies Store has been sold out and is desperately replenishing the goods.

Just when the TV station was playing the special episode of Blues-Li, Li Liang had no chance to watch the live broadcast on TV again.

On the evening of November 9, in the sixth game of the NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Golden State Warriors at home.

The Lakers' season start schedule is really good, without consecutive away games. After playing the Jazz, they have six home games in a row.

For the Lakers, who are older and plagued by injuries, this is undoubtedly a very good schedule.

Players do not have to stay in a hotel that is stubborn, so they can avoid the torture of long-distance travel. They can drive to the home court by themselves before the game begins.

After the Lakers won a winning streak in the opening game, Stamps' tickets became increasingly difficult to buy, and every game was full.

Needless to say, the season tickets were sold out early, and some temporary tickets in the back row were hard to come by. If you want to watch the game, you must make reservations in advance.

The prices of the first row of zodiac signs are getting higher and higher, and they are faintly returning to the 1980s. At night, the entire Hollywood stars go to the Great Western Forum to watch the grand event.

This situation will be a kind of pressure for ordinary young players. With so many spectators and such a large team, it may be better to play at home than away games.

Except for Li Liang.

What scenes have he never seen? Who have you been to the Great Western Forum in the 1970s? Who has played there?

I also saw Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand on the sidelines.

Who can Stamps have on the sidelines now... Oops, Beckham! He is playing football in Los Angeles.

Wow, there is also Leonardo DiCaprio, and there is a supermodel beauty sitting next to her, which seems to be different from what was in the previous newspaper.

Who else? Tom Hanks! He is old, why does it seem that he has old spots on his face?

Oh, and Jabbar, wearing a brown coat and a baseball cap, wouldn't recognize him if he hadn't been too tall and too conspicuous.

Li Liang swept the cultural and sports stars sitting off the court while warming up, and they were indeed big names.

Needless to say, an old-fashioned nail-business owner like Jack Nicholson, sitting in his seat wearing sunglasses, and if a banner is standing next to him, he will be like a fortune teller.

This is the case with playing in Los Angeles. The audience is more famous than the players on the court, so it is no wonder that the Lakers always attract superstars and have been cultivating and introducing superstars.

Are you not a superstar, just an ordinary All-Star, and you are the top player with the Lakers?

In comparison, the Golden State Warriors who visited today are much more low-key on the cards.

There are no superstars on the team, they are all young players, and the team is in the process of reconstruction.

Including the summer league and preseason, this is the third time the Lakers have played against the Warriors this season.

In the summer league, Li Liang and Harris Barnes had a bond. During the preseason, they watched the team be massacred because they were not on the floor.

This time Li Liang will not sit on the bench and watch it again.

Of course, after the game started, Li Liang still had to sit on the stool for a while. He sat quietly, neither noisy nor quarrel.

He is much more friendly to Brown now and no longer blows him with a hair dryer. He knows Brown will definitely send him on the stage.

Li Liang is already Brown's BBK reading machine. He won't click there anywhere, and if there is any problem, he will come to you.

In the current lineup, the most problematic thing about the Lakers is their defense. One of the three elders is slow to get another injury, so the defense is simply casually in and out.

Li Liang had a deep impression of the Warriors' attack. He had many pick-and-rolls in the horn position, had strong wing attacks, and was quite accurate in three-pointers. For example, Barnes and Thompson, he made decisive moves from the outside.

He thought that if the Lakers played for a few minutes, they would have to have some minor problems, and then it would be his turn to take the lead in saving the world and save Mike Brown!

As a result, the opening game lasted more than 6 minutes and nearly 7 minutes, and the Lakers beat the Warriors 20:11!

Ci Shiping, the old man who scored five three-pointers in the first five games, made 2 of 3-pointers in the first quarter. After hitting a three-pointer at the top of the arc, he stopped the Warriors!

Kobe even used a no?look  pass to amazed the whole game. After grabbing the frontcourt rebound, he did not attack by himself, but waited for Gasol to return to his position with a beautiful pass, and Gasol dunked directly at the basket.

In seven minutes, Mike Brown did not make a substitution because there was no need, and the Lakers played very well.

Li Liang could only applaud his teammates' excellent performance while scolding the Warriors in his heart. What kind of garbage did he beat? The Lakers, the weak, the sick and disabled, could not even beat the starter?

The Warriors did not play well today, and there were always problems with their finishing.

Thompson missed a three-pointer several times on the outside, while David Lee, who was close to each other, was interfered with two layups in close proximity.

The reason is that Howard's defensive form is OK in this game. After experiencing ups and downs in the previous game, Howard returned to Los Angeles and adjusted his form well.

In the first seven minutes of the first quarter of the home court, he played the best defensive player, protecting the basket and the three-second zone well in the inside, so that every Warriors player who broke into the inside could not take action easily.

But in terms of offense, he still couldn't find any sense. He only scored 2 points in the 20 points ahead of the Lakers.

During the timeout, Mike Brown demanded that he play one more inside player next, with Howard as the tactical center of gravity to consolidate his advantage.

Then, Mike Brown rotated, Li Liang appeared to replace Ci Shiping, Jamison replaced Gasol, and Morris replaced Blake.

This is a pretty good rotation lineup used in the last game, and Brown is trying to slowly fix the rotation.

After Nash's return, he put Blake on the bench and allowed him to compete with Morris and Meeks.

Li Liang is now the number one substitute in the third position, and is matched with Hill or Jamison according to the situation.

If you want to keep Howard on the field, go to Jamison, if you want to join Gasol, go to Jordan Hill to ensure complementary functions.

Anyway, Brown is thinking very well. As for the effectiveness, it depends on the tacit understanding between the players and the specific use effect.

Li Liang doesn't care. He can match anyone on the court. Anyway, defense and shooting, it's quite comfortable to occasionally cross the ball at the top of the arc and curse people.

And he was still ahead in the first quarter, which really made Li Liang unexpectedly not. It was not easy! He could play a good match.

After the suspension, both sides entered the rotation, and the Warriors replaced Bedellins, Landry and Jack.

According to Brown's arrangement, the Lakers focused their offense on Howard.

Jamison and Li Liang can open up the space.

There was also Kobe on the outside and howard got a one-on-one single.

But he really couldn't score.

It's basically useless to face the offensive end. Bedelins, who has no skills in the defensive end, failed to hit two consecutive low-post strong attacks!

Once, he was walking in the middle of the basket and found that he could no longer squeeze Bedelins away with his shoulders.

Once, he was at a deep basket. He made a layup and was interfered by Landry who came back from behind and missed it.

Taking this opportunity, the Warriors made two quick counterattacks and scored the ball.

The Warriors narrowed the score gap, and on the Lakers, Kobe is no longer willing to pass the ball to Howard.

He waved to Howard and signaled to Howard to come over and make a pick-and-roll.

Howard ran outside the three-point line and blocked it symbolically.

But his blocking is not solid at all, he just acts like a show.

After blocking, he immediately ran in. The Warriors' defender drilled for a moment and immediately returned to the defensive position.

Kobe had to use his speed to break strongly from the left and then observe Li Liang at the top of the arc.

Li Liang received a pass from Kobe, glanced at him and found that Howard, who had entered the inside, had a chance.

No matter how he plays ahead, Li Liang will pass it when he sees the opportunity.

With a straight pass, the ball passed Barnes' block and flew into Howard's hand.

Howard missed a small hook when he received the ball, and was fouled by Bederins and went to the free throw line.

Still unable to score a goal in the sports game, Howard was obviously a little annoyed and had physical contact with Bedellins.

Bedlings immediately came up, and the referee immediately whistled to calm both sides when he saw that the situation was not good.

Howard smiled bitterly, shook his head, stood on the free throw line, and made one of two free throws.

This was his first point in this game, so difficult.

With his experience and skills on the defensive end, he can still give the team a no-fly zone.

But on the offensive end, why can't this ball be scored?

Howard is a player who is more affected by emotions when playing basketball.

If you play well and be happy, your performance will get better and better.

If you fight unhappyly, especially if you have something wrong with it, you will get stuck in a big way.

Today I don’t believe in this evil, so I can’t score at the basket?
To be continued...
