When Li Liang rushed back to get his passport, the Los Angeles Lakers went to the Air Canada Arena on the 20th to play against the Toronto Raptors.

The Lakers have good news and bad news.

The good news is that Howard will make a comeback in this game, and O'Neal Jr. is also on the team's roster.

After experiencing the lineup turmoil caused by inside injuries, the Lakers finally slowly made a comeback in the inside.

The bad news is that although Dwight Howard made a comeback, his form still doesn't seem to be at its best.

The doctor evaluated his shoulder and lumbar injuries and believed Howard's lumbar disc herniation was not completely cured.

This may be related to Howard insisting on exercise with a lot of exercise during his injury recovery.

But no matter what, Howard didn't want to rest anymore.

After resting, his center position will probably be snatched away.

So Howard chose to make a comeback, but his condition may not be too good.

Brown wanted Howard to simply rest until his injury healed.

But I had disobeyed Little Bus's intention before and could no longer resist.

Besides, Howard wants to go up by himself, and he said he could fight, which means there is no big problem.

There was still some time before the competition began. In the passage to the locker room, the reporters did not see Li Liang.

What's going on? I played well in the last game and didn't say I was injured.

The Lakers staff explained that Li Liang's passport has landed in Los Angeles and he is rushing over as soon as possible.

Now many Toronto fans are disappointed.

As Li Liang said, there are many Chinese in Toronto, and many international students and fans come to watch the game tonight just to see Li Liang's style.

As a result, he was not injured or sick, but he didn't come because of his passport problem.

Before the game started, Brown called Li Liang and showed the power off.

This shows that Li Liang is on the road and whether he can catch up depends on his life.

The roads in Toronto may be a little blocked today.

Li Liang was away, and Brown put Gasol back in the starting lineup.

Gasol was a little reluctant. He played well as a substitute and felt very comfortable, and he had to play the starting lineup and fight hard.

After the opening ceremony, both sides stood on the court.

The TV station's camera swept through and saw many fans wearing Lakers jerseys in the audience.

Some of them were wearing No. 28, and some were holding Li Liang's avatars, but they found that Li Liang was not on the court, and their disappointment was beyond words.

After the game started, the Lakers encountered some trouble.

Actually, it's not a big trouble, it's iron.

Six minutes into the game, scored two goals?!

Are you still the first in the league? Are you still the five-star Lakers in Los Angeles?

Without Li Liang's support and three-pointers, the Lakers wanted to play inside but found that they would not play anymore.

Howard just made a comeback and failed in both singles.

Gasol doesn't seem to be very suitable for starting, making 1 of 3 shots.

Kobe initially endured it and didn't take action, but later he found out that it was not possible. You guys are all strong, how could I be missing?

The Lakers were beaten 19:4 by the Raptors at the beginning.

When you arrive in the northern border, the whole team can’t find Bei. In fact, you don’t have to look for it. This is Bei.

Mike Brown was a headache to see the team unable to score the goal.

What happened? You can’t play basketball without a second round pick?

In fact, the Lakers are entering a period of fatigue, with double fatigue between psychology and physiology.

Needless to say, physical fatigue is all veterans. After more than two months of continuous battle, I feel tired.

The psychological fatigue is that the Lakers and other old guys are tired of the regular season.

They want to play the playoffs instead of running to the cold Toronto to play away.

Any champion team will experience such psychological fatigue.

Although this Lakers have just formed a team, Kobe has won five championships and two of Gasol.

Nash is 38 years old and has already won the honors he can win in the regular season. All he wants is the finals.

After playing against the Heat, the veterans felt that "the game behind them was so boring."

As for Howard, he is powerless, really powerless.

Not only was he weak, but he was also incompetent and furious. He received a technical foul at the end of the first quarter.

He missed the shot and thought the opponent made a foul, but the referee did not give it.

Li Liang is not here tonight, no one is reasonable with the referee, and the referee is just a technical culprit.

Kobe made 1 of 8 in the first quarter, paying tribute to the 81 points he scored when he played against the Raptors.

In the second quarter, something worse has come.

Howard became more and more unhappy when he played, and he had a conflict with Alan Anderson while grabbing rebounds.

As a result, both of them received technical fouls. Howard made two technical fouls a total of two and was sent off.

When the game ended, Howard made 1 of 3 shots in the game and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 3 points in total.

In his comeback battle, I want to prove my importance to the fans.

As a result, it proved that his condition was really not good.

After playing the Heat in the last game, someone said, "The Lakers will be even more invincible after Howard returns." I wonder if you will feel heartbroken after seeing Howard's current performance or something else.

?After Howard was sent off, the Lakers' form slowly recovered and began to make continuous shots and chase points.

The Lakers dug a big hole for themselves in the first quarter and slowly climbed up from the hole. It was about to climb out, and the first half was over.

The Lakers trailed by 3 points 50:53.

During the intermission, Howard was already lying on a physiotherapy chair with a thick ice bag tied around his waist in the Lakers' locker room.

Lumbar disc herniation is a fatal injury.

For athletes, severe lumbar disc herniation often means the end of their careers.

After all, no matter what kind of exercise, the waist is the most important point of effort.

Even if you play Go, you have to sit on a good waist. You can't do it with sore waist and back pain.

Not to mention basketball, waist is extremely important.

Mike Brown comforted Howard, "Dwight, if not, can rest a few more games until he recovers completely and then come back."

Howard sighed. The injury of lumbar disc herniation is not like muscle injuries or soft tissue injuries, which will slowly relieve over time.

It will only become more serious as the longer it takes. I have had an operation before and cannot be reoperated for a short period of time.

Howard thought for a while and said, "I will get better, I will adjust my playing style and give the team more help."

This is the first time Howard said to Brown and everyone, "I will adjust my playing style," he used to want to be the "king of low posts".

He still has not given up now, but seeing that the team is in good condition, if this continues, he will only become a side effect, so it must be changed.

One day he has a back injury and a back injury recovered, and he will continue to be his low-level king.

No one knows whether this day will come.

At the end of the half-time break, Mike Brown called Li Liang again before he came on the court.

Found it was opened!

Li Liang answered the phone and said that he was on the way he was coming, and the road was not congested and he would arrive in 15 minutes.

Mike Brown immediately informed the Lakers players of this "good news".

"Bruce Lee is on the road, he will arrive soon and should be able to participate in this game."

Brown originally wanted to encourage the players, but then he felt something was wrong. He was not the boss, so could he be encouraged?

The Lakers players' reactions were strange.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other, and an inexplicable pressure enveloped the locker room.

Kobe curled his lips disdainfully, "He is late and should be deducted his salary."

Nash, Jamison and others didn't say anything.

Only the honest Ci Shiping expressed everyone's thoughts, "Fight well in the second half, otherwise Bruce Li Lai would see us playing like this, and I don't know how to laugh at us."

Now Lakers players are talking about it, and it turns out that everyone wants to go together.
