Chapter 148 Balloon Night(1/2)
When he returned home at night, he entered the system in his sleep. Li Liang opened the book in the system space.
There is a golden light shining on the cover of the book, and the four words "City of Angels" shine outwards, just like Sun Wukong's golden eyes.
Li Liang thought this special effect was done well, but he was not in a state of turmoil.
Anyway, he understands the system routine. Looking back on history and looking forward to the future is probably related to the history of the Lakers.
It is impossible to get some magical skills, secret recipes for alchemy, and old grandfathers, and young ladies in the system.
When I opened the book, the title page did not change, and the catalogue changed.
Before, there were only page numbers and no content, but now there are handwritings on the directory, with two big characters "Previous article".
"Damn, this is the last article? Your romance novel is a bit long, is Gone with the Wind..."
Looking further, there are five contents on the first page, namely:
【Balloon Night at the Great Western Forum】
【Portland Red Jellyfish's Broom Star】
【Boston Gardens' Champions 7 Curse】
[The stepping stone for the God of Basketball ascends the throne]
【The four consecutive championship achievements that cannot be completed】
At the end of the five entries, there was still an empty one and nothing was written.
In other words, there are six pages in total, five with titles, each of which represents a history of the Lakers.
The first one is [Balloon Night at the Great Western Forum], which is shining, reminding Li Liang that it is time to click me to take a look.
Li Liang buckled his chin and thought to himself that there is still one day to rest tomorrow, so go in and have fun.
So Li Liang clicked on the first one, and the Angel City Book immediately flipped it, and Li Liang felt a golden light in front of him!
Then, Li Liang was sucked into the book.
Damn it, the system will just let me do the task, so what fancy special effects are there!
When Li Liang opened his eyes, he found himself in the Great Western Forum Arena, where he was familiar with it.
Subtitles appear in front of you:
[Task: Balloon Night at the Great Western Forum, Time: May 5, 1969, Location: Los Angeles Great Western Forum Arena, vs. Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers, Mission Requirements: Defeat the Boston Celtics to win the championship, let the balloons fly on the ceiling of the Great Western Forum, Mission Reward: Golden Shield Fragments, Mission Difficulty: Normal.]
It turned out to be the Lakers' finals in 1969, the flag night that made the Lakers record.
Li Liang looked around and was sitting on the bench, surrounded by Lakers teammates, West, Chamberlain, and coach Kolov.
Let’s look at the time. The game has reached the fourth quarter. There are less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and the Lakers are still behind.
The Lakers called a timeout to set the tactics for the last moment.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were 15 points behind the Celtics 76:91.
The Lakers were catching up in the entire fourth quarter, narrowing the gap to single digits.
But there was no way. The holes were dug in front of them too big, and they eventually lost the game in history.
Having lost six consecutive times in the finals, Jerry West was unable to overcome the Celtics' hurdle.
Bill Russell retired from the league with the glory of the king and the confidence of "the Lakers can never defeat the Celtics" and ended perfectly.
This perfect price is based on the incomparable pain and shame of Los Angeles fans.
At this time, Wilt Chamberlain was sitting on the bench and asked Kolov to let him appear.
But Kolov ignored it. At the critical moment in the fourth quarter, Chamberlain was slightly wounded in the leg, and he took the initiative to ask the coach to replace him.
This made Kolov very angry. In the last game of the season, the championship game, even if his legs are broken, as long as he can run, he must stay on the court.
But Chamberlain did not, so when he asked to appear again, Kolov directly pressed him on the bench.
Kolov looked at Li Liang and said, "Beller, if you hit it inside, you will be more aggressive."
Well, why does this coach call me Baylor? I am Baylor?
When Li Liang saw it, he was wearing Elgin Baylor's No. 22 jersey. No wonder he couldn't see Baylor in one round of the bench. It turned out that he was.
Li Liang nodded, but thought to himself, "Fuck me, I won't hit me, see how I threw the Celtics to death from the outside."
After the timeout, the Lakers were still 3 points behind.
The moment I stepped onto the court, the system gave another reminder:
What? Why didn’t you say it earlier? I wouldn’t be so hurrying!
When Li Liang saw that he was really a god, he still had a one-time mission?
Fortunately, this was the 1969 competition, and Li Liang was quite sure.
If this were replaced by a 21st century competition, it would be difficult to complete, and it would have to strengthen its abilities.
Now Li Liang is under pressure and must succeed in one go.
He tried hard to recall the details of the history of the Celtics winning the championship that Wei Dazhi had told him, and he mentioned this game.
At the beginning of the game, the atmosphere at the Great Western Forum was extremely tense.
All five finals failed, and they were defeated by the Celtics.
The so-called "no matter is three", this saying is useless to the Celtics at all.
Everyone has overdrawn the Lakers' offense, and this game is exhausting.
Li Liang was no exception. When he walked on the field, he found that his physical strength automatically dropped by 50%, and the feeling of fatigue came instantly.
He had to force himself to concentrate and try to recall the details of the game.
"Damn, I will definitely watch the game video before I come in in the future."
Just as he was thinking, the outside serve, after continuous transmission, substitute center Mel Kantz, who replaced Chamberlain, got a chance near the free throw line. He made a straight jump shot and hit!
103:102! Only 1 point away!
Kantz was once a member of the Boston Celtics and won the championships in 1965 and 1966 with the team.
Now come to the Lakers to fight against their old club.
The game has reached a height of heat, and there are more than two minutes left before the end of the game.
In the next few rounds, neither side scored and the goal became extremely difficult.
Li Liang tried a long-distance jump shot but failed to hit, and the decline in physical strength affected his feel.
He became cautious and did not dare to take action easily. At the same time, he continued to think in his mind, where was the place where the breaking was?
Why is the golden shield called the golden shield? What is the relationship between the Lakers and the shield?
The Lakers have always been an offensive team.
Others say that defense wins the championship, but the Lakers always have priority in offense.
So if you want to get it, it should be a golden spear. What the hell is a golden shield?
Li Liang thought that Havrichek cut off a pass from the Lakers, and his steals were always so fatal.
He passed the ball to Larry Siegfried, who dribbled from the wing through half and fell to the bottom line in the No. 20.
He was behind his back and passed the ball to Havrichek who followed, but Havrichek was exhausted severely and was knocked out by West who was following the defense.
The ball flew to the free throw line and was taken by Don Nelson who was standing there.
The moment Nelson got the ball, Li Liang was standing not far from him.
He suddenly remembered!
The seventh game of the 1969 Finals was Nelson's jump shot at a critical moment, which opened the score and ended the Lakers!
Li Liang immediately took a step forward and rushed towards Nelson, jumping high in the air to interfere with Nelson's jump shot!
Li Liang almost used all his strength to stretch his arms to his limit.
He felt his fingers touching the ball and rubbing a little bit.
"rebound!"
Li Liang yelled after landing, then turned around and rushed to the basket.
The ball was bumped on the basket and then slipped off the edge of the basket without going in!
This critical defense changed the course of the game.
In real history, Elgin Baylor watched Nelson pick up the ball in front of him and quickly shot. The ball was very lucky to have a bump on the basket's neck and fell into the net.
This was the last defense Baylor regretted in his life. He was too tired to lift his legs.
So there was no interference, which led to the ball entering and the score difference being widened to 3 points.
In the era when there were no three-pointers, the Lakers were sentenced to death by three points.
Li Liang thought of this when he was about to take action, which interfered with Nelson's attack.
