Chapter 146: Garbage Time, Dare to Fight and Dare to Fight(1/2)
When he woke up early the next morning, Bai Xiaoting returned to normal.
In the morning, the two of them had another quarrel over the toilet problem.
Li Liang felt that the house was a bit too small, and it was not very convenient for four people to live in.
Now he has saved some money. When Zhu Shu comes back from a business trip, she has to consider changing to a larger house.
There is also the incident of Kobe endorsing Dad’s tractor advertisement. Haha, he has already told Gan Guoqing that he might get an agency fee.
Money is actually a trivial matter. It feels really pleasant to see Kobe's ads for tractors.
When he went to Toyota Center for training in the morning, Li Liang saw Nash wearing sportswear and starting to practice shooting on the court.
It seems that his injury is almost healed and should be close to recovery, which is faster than expected.
It means that the bruising and injury medicine under the overpass is a bit useful, and the system is still very awesome. I don’t know when I can get it again next time, so it’s better to get some preparations.
Li Liang changed his clothes, and Nash took the initiative to say hello to him, mentioning that yesterday's winning shot was incredible.
There are also many grudges between Nash and the Spurs. They were eliminated by the Spurs in their peak two years, and they were still in a very regrettable way.
Seeing the Spurs being beaten in this way, he would be as happy as he would be on the sidelines.
Li Liang must have heard a lot of similar praises in the past two days.
It doesn't matter, you guys praise me more, I won't be proud anyway.
Li Liang asked Nash when he would come back. Nash said that he would look at his training status in the past two days. If he was good, he would come back in the next game.
In the next game, unfortunately, the Lakers' opponent in the next game is Nash's old club, Phoenix Suns.
I don’t know what it would feel like to meet my old boss.
Nash participated in the morning's joint training and looked good.
Although I had knee pads tied to my legs, there was no big problem with running or something.
Mike Brown is a little worried about happiness now. Nash's injury was originally bad news, but the team won consecutive victories.
Moreover, Mike Brown is slowly finding out a rotation plan suitable for the Lakers, as well as a play configuration at critical moments.
If Nash makes a comeback now, it will be a bit troublesome. How to deal with it at critical moments?
It is impossible for Li Liang to put him off the court. With his performance, letting him off the court at a critical moment is a crime.
The rest can only be chosen to sit on the bench among Gasol, Ci Shiping and Nash.
Brown thought that if he wanted to play inside, he would go to Gasol, and he would need three points, and Nash would all want it, so let Ci Shiping rest.
What I thought was very good, but how to actually operate was another matter.
Let's try playing a few more games, and then decide what kind of main and key lineup to use.
After the afternoon training, the Lakers held an autograph meeting at the Toyota Sports Center.
Spalding Company sent more than a hundred basketballs, signed by Lakers' stars on the basketball, as gifts for activities to children from poor families who cannot afford basketball.
Not every Lakers player is qualified to sign on it. Only All-stars like Nash, Kobe, and Howard can do it.
But Spalding Company clearly requires Li Liang to participate in this signature event.
"Now the little fans in Los Angeles like you very much. If you have your signature on the basketball team, they will be happy to participate in the event."
Spalding's official director told Li Liangdao.
There is no way, you must participate in such an event.
As a rookie with 55 picks, Li Liang ranks third in the current official ranking of the best rookies in the NBA!
Damian Lillard, second only to the Trail Blazers, and Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Hornets.
Especially after yesterday's final victory, his votes soared, and he was about to hit alumni Davis's anus.
Although Li Liang is not as good as the top two in terms of average data, his performance on the field is amazing enough.
More importantly, he is in the 55th position, and in the second round, he is in the last position.
Now the sports world in the United States is discussing, are the teams ahead blind? Can’t you see Li Liang’s true basketball level?
Some media interviewed Kalipari and asked Li Liang about his performance in college, why he was just a water dispenser.
Kalipari told the truth, saying that he didn't know either, and his strength in college was really not very good.
This has become a mystery, "Bruce-Lee Mystery", and the mystery continues now.
After two days of training and resting in the Lakers, Li Liang trained at the Toyota Center and fought with Kobe, honing his skills, while continuing to improve his empty cutting skills in the system.
In 1966, under the guidance of John Wooden, UCL trained with the hairy Jabbar.
The practice of empty cutting is far from as simple as imagined, and John Wooden is not always so kind-hearted - of course, much better than Bob Knight.
Coach Wooden not only taught him tactics and running positions, but also took time to tell him the principles of life.
I don’t say much. Anyway, I say some mottos and aphorisms every five minutes at a time to remind every player under my command.
"What kind of person you are is more important than what kind of basketball player you are."
"People who do not make mistakes always do nothing, while those who do things always make mistakes."
"People should reach the heights that their talents can reach, and all achievements are not enough to be proud of themselves."
Li Liang was a little annoyed at first when he was teaching people all kinds of things, but as he listened, he felt that it seemed to make some sense.
I thought to myself, no wonder Mr. Wu Deng was so successful as a coach. He won the world if he got one of the best chicken soup and tactics.
Wooden has achieved great success by taking chicken soup and tactics in both ways. Isn’t it the world invincible?
On November 17, the Lakers, who had the power of 8 consecutive victories, continued to play at home against Nash's old club Phoenix Suns.
After two days of group training, Nash decided to return to this game after receiving the consent and permission of the team doctor.
Although he was making a comeback to fight his old club, Nash really didn't want to wait anymore. Seeing his teammates win in a row, he sat on the bench and became an audience member. Who can stand it?
So, Nash must be holding back his energy to perform well in this game.
Otherwise, if you lose the ball against your old club, the team will end the winning streak, which will be embarrassing to whoever is on the way.
We won well when you were away, but you lost the game as soon as you came. What's the point of using you?
The opponent Suns, after failing to the Western Conference semi-finals in 2007, took three years to readjust and ushered in a small ZTE in 2010.
They defeated their old opponent Spurs in the playoffs, reached the Western Conference Finals, and fell at the foot of the Lakers.
After that, the sun sets until the trade of Nash to the Lakers this season, which means a complete demolition and reconstruction.
NBA, it is a cycle of volition. The old people go and the new people come, and the new people become the old people.
Of course Li Liang would not understand this feeling. He is still a cute newbie and is full of curiosity about NBA.
So before the game started, when warming up, he chatted everywhere, trying to find someone to touch his head.
In the end, I felt that it was not very suitable. I was the youngest, so I had to touch Thackeray's head.
But Thackeray was originally bald!
Not energetic.
The game started at 7:30 pm and was also a game with little energy.
The Suns' combat effectiveness is still good, with 4 wins and 5 losses in the first nine games.
However, they were defeated by the Lakers in terms of lineup and style of play.
The inside player Gotat was the substitute for Warcraft on the Magic back then, and Howard knew best how to beat Gotat.
Power forward, Paul Gasol, is a slow technical flow, and the Suns' front is a shorter and slower technical flow Scola.
Small forward Beasley, a striker with no three-pointers and no breakthroughs, is the type that Ci Shiping is the least afraid of.
The back line is Dudley and Dragic, a 3D and a skilled defender, not an impact-type backcourt that Kobe and Nash fear.
Isn't this Tianke?
The game was tilted at the beginning, and the Lakers' offense actually played very smoothly.
Dare you believe it?
The Lakers played smoothly and played out all kinds of tactical cooperation.
Although they won the previous games, the Lakers' offense was mostly not going well at the beginning and they were slow to warm up.
Although Nash's return was due to this game, another reason was that the Suns' defense did not put enough pressure on the Lakers.
The gap in hard strength makes the Lakers' game very easy.
The Lakers scored 38 points in the first quarter!
After Li Liang made a debut in the second half of the first quarter, he cooperated with Nash continuously and fired three shots from the outside.
The Suns did not make any special targeting arrangements at all. Li Liang made two shots and scored 6 points.
In the second quarter, Nash found that Li Liang not only cut outside and shot three-pointers, but also cut in the empty space!
He hit Beasley twice, made a layup after cutting in the air. This kid is quite terrible.
