Chapter 229 Ball Blind K
After playing against the Celtics, the Lakers immediately headed to the next stop, Charlotte.
They're going to play the Charlotte Bobcats back to back.
Paul Gasol was sent back to Los Angeles for inspection, not knowing what the situation was.
Judging from the degree of swelling of the feet, it is not particularly serious, but it should take a few weeks to rest.
Li Liang has to wait for the inspection results to see if he wants to give Gasol a pill.
If it affects the playoffs, you have to consider taking medicine to Gasol.
It was snowing in Charlotte in February, and it was a huge blizzard, which affected the Lakers' flights.
The plane stayed at the Boston airport for a long time before taking off.
When you arrive at Charlotte Airport, you can see the white area of the airport, brightening the sky.
There were thick snow piles on both sides of the plane, and the Lakers players slept very well on the plane.
Back-to-back away games are the most deadly. If you can't rest after the game, you have to go to the court immediately.
When you arrive at your destination, it is usually early in the morning, so you can sleep as soon as you can. I don’t know what time it will take to arrive at the hotel.
Don’t think about training during the day, at most, warm up and so on.
On the evening of February 8, thick snow did not stop Charlotte fans from coming to the stadium to watch the Lakers' game.
The popularity of the Purple Gold Dynasty is so high that except for a few cities such as Boston, there are basically a large number of Lakers fans everywhere.
A city like Charlotte, which introduced the team in the late 1980s, later experienced team migration and re-joined the team, led to more Lakers fans.
In comparison, the home team, which doesn't sound very good, doesn't necessarily receive more support than the Lakers.
For fans who came to watch the game on site, I won’t talk about those wearing Lakers jerseys, there are both No. 24, No. 12, No. 28, and No. 10.
But there are those who wear Charlotte Hornets jerseys?
It only shows that the people of Charlotte missed the beautiful robin egg blue Hornets very much, rather than the rustic bobcats now.
I really don’t know what the Charlotte residents thought of when they voted for the name.
Isn’t the corresponding lynx dog?
The land is back, and the Bobcats and the Lakers still have some grudges.
The TV station is playing the history of the two teams.
Like in 2006, at Kobe's peak years, he led the Lakers and the Bobcats to fight three overtimes and finally lost.
There is also the season performance of the Lakers' double-killing Lakers when they were at their peak.
For some time, the Charlotte Bobcats were once the only team in the league that won more than less in the regular season since 1960.
Of course, this is related to the Bobcats' short history. After the last game this season, the Lakers kicked the Bobcats out of this rank.
Only the Celtics were left on their heads.
Compared with 2006, six years have passed, and the Bobcats' home court has been redesigned.
Their main color was orange before, but now they use a brighter and softer navy blue to match indigo.
The lyigyi icon has also changed from a handsome bobcat side face to a front big-faced cat.
It's really ugly and ugly, and I don't know what their boss Michael Jordan thinks.
Michael Jordan also came to the game tonight.
The private rooms are different. In this event, he sat very close to the venue.
Before the game started, he waved to Kobe, and Kobe nodded to him.
The two greatest shooting guards in NBA history... were seen through by Li Liang.
Li Liang has been waiting for Jordan for a long time, and today he has caught him!
On weekdays, Li Liang never delays on the technical station. He doesn't have the time to toss the little white magnesium powder, which is boring.
This time, Li Liang approached the technical table, got close to Jordan, then turned on the ball blind detector and pointed it at Jordan.
Generally speaking, results will definitely come out in about three seconds.
But this time, five seconds or ten seconds passed, but there was still no movement.
"Damn it, what's the situation? The Basketball God's ball blind index, can I write a paper?"
The people from the technical station are already reminding Li Liang that it is time to go to the game, so why should I be delayed?
The result was finally produced:
When Li Liang saw it, is it so coquettish?
Even the first law of ball blind mechanics has been broken through. No wonder he is called the God of Basketball, a man who plays in a jersey.
Isn’t this God above the rules?
Li Liang nodded and agreed.
Jordan had long noticed that Li Liang had been staring at him, and for a long time, I don’t know what was going on.
During an interview before the game, a reporter asked Jordan what he thought of Bruce Lee, the second round pick.
Jordan shrugged and said that Li Liang was not bad, but he thought Maikeji was the better one.
Jordan, it doesn’t matter if you are wrong, but if you are blind, it’s a big problem!
But it doesn't matter. He probably knows that he is blind and wants to play this character well.
Besides, as far as Li Liang's performance in NCAA is concerned, Jordan dares to choose him with a second round pick.
Moreover, Jordan is currently the team owner and no longer participates in the team's specific draft operations.
Except for Kwame Brown who was indeed Jordan's choice back then, Jordan was not a direct decision-maker in some of the subsequent drafts.
However, the God of Basketball is too famous and the team's operation is too bad, so it is inevitable that people will be ridiculed.
The satisfied Li Liang looked like Kobe, rubbed his hands on his chest.
Just grind the hammer before the battle.
Both sides stand on the stadium and the game is about to begin.
This is definitely a tough game for the Lakers.
The Bobcats have psychological advantages in playing against the Lakers, while the Lakers players are quite tired.
Li Liang did not perform well in the last game and the task was not completed.
In this game, Mike Brown decided to expand the rotation to increase the playing time of Duhon O'Neal Jr. and Ebanks.
The Bobcats starters are center Byron Mullens, power forward Biyongbo, small forward Maikegee, defenders Kemba Walker and Gerrard Henderson.
At the beginning, Howard scored a jump ball.
The Lakers launched a fast attack and Howard rushed to the basket.
Nash passed it to Howard, and Howard's figure was one smaller than him, and hit the left hand hooked his hand.
Howard scored the Lakers' first point.
A direct attack at a low post like this is what makes Howard playful at the beginning.
In the last game against the Celtics, Howard scored one of the attacks at low posts and ate several cakes.
The efficiency is too low.
The head coach on the Bobcats is Mike Dempra, who is honestly qualified.
He used to be an assistant coach in the Nuggets for two years, and he was carrying the golden double guns of Iverson and Anthony at that time.
I don’t know how the Bobcat’s genius management or genius boss thought of inviting him as the head coach.
Isn’t it difficult for him to be a marshal if he is obviously a sect general.
The Bobcats' offense is generally scattered. Generally speaking, the coach's skills are more obvious when the attack is just a few days before the game.
Should we play tactics or the players have to be in shape? In short, we can see the coach’s preparation and arrangement direction before the game.
The Bobcats' first offense was passed on a few quick strokes from the outside, and finally Kemba Walker played single from the outside, pulled out and missed the shot.
This tactical discipline is also OK.
Li Liang won the rebound and handed the ball to Ci Shiping for halftime.
Howard received the ball from his waist position again, and the Bobcats' double-team was about to come up.
Li Liang shouted "passing the ball". If the ball does not pass, there will be people with Bobcats in the middle of the bottom line.
Before, Howard must have played a ball like this.
But now it is different. You can't fight, you say you want to pass it on.
Howard passed the ball to Li Liang at the top of the arc.
Li Liang handed the ball back to Nash and asked Nash to organize the attack.
With a pick-and-roll at the high position, Nash easily entered the penalty area, Bobcats narrowed the double-team, Nash passed the ball with a high hanging ball, Howard received the ball and made a layup directly in the air.
This is how the defense of weak teams is. It seems to be of intensity and targeted, but if you can't withstand two or three changes, you will find loopholes.
The Lakers played 4:0 at the beginning, and it felt like there was no problem in taking the Bobcats.
Chapter completed!
