Chapter two hundred and forty-ninth tiebreaker curse

The Lakers won the championship at the Celtics' home court.

It was 1985. After the Veterans' Anniversary Massacre, the Lakers fought back, and Jabbar won the Finals VP at the age of 38 and won the championship at Boston Garden Plaza.

Before that, the Lakers had never beaten the Celtics in the Finals, and never had it.

At the same time, the Celtics maintained the myth of unbeaten in the finals until 2010 when they were defeated by the Lakers led by Kobe.

Myths will eventually be destroyed, and any historical record will be broken by future generations.

Li Liang saw the third task of [City of Angels] in the system and knew that it must be related to the tiebreak in the 1984 finals.

He decided to find some time to complete the task.

Before this, the Lakers' regular season games continued.

After Jerry Bass' memorial service on the 21st, the Lakers will face the Portland Trail Blazers at home on the 22nd.

Before this game, the NBA happened to be trading deadline. The Los Angeles Lakers, as the top leader in the league, remained silent and did not make any trades in case of breaking the team's current chemistry.

Other teams seized the last chance to strengthen the reinforcement and small movements.

The two larger deals were the Sacramento Kings who sent Francisco Garcia, Honeycart, Thomas Robinson, and exchanged the Rockets for Cole Aldridge, Tony Douglas and Patrick Patterson.

The main body of this deal is Thomas Robinson for Patterson.

As the No. 5 pick in 2012, Robinson was contender for the NCAA championship, but ended up being traded in the middle of the season.

The Rockets have always lacked talent on the front line, so if you take this deal, you might be able to play Robinson.

Another deal was that the Milwaukee Bucks sent Doron Lamb, Harris, Yuduri and some cash, and obtained Gustavo Ayon, Ismail Smith and JJ Redick from the Orlando Magic.

Another person that Li Liang is familiar with, his teammate in Kentucky, this year's No. 42 pick, Doron Lamb.

He did not perform well in the Bucks, and he was the best sixth man, champion member in NCAA.

After half a season in NBA, it may be difficult for him to play on the court.

This shows the cruelty of NBA.

After the transaction deadline arrived, the quota of other members was basically fixed except for signing free agents and abolition of unsecured contracts.

Teams that are badly played can start to play with their worries, while teams that are striving for the playoffs will focus on making the final sprint.

After the Lakers experienced the death of Buss, the entire team was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

And to alleviate this sadness, the best way is to win, win, and win again.

So in this game against the Trail Blazers, the Lakers went all out at the beginning, especially Dwight Howard.

After the All-Star Game, Howard's physical condition was a little better than before.

He can dunk strongly at the basket and send out a volleyball hat again.

The Lakers took an 8-point lead early in the first quarter.

At the same time, Kobe played extremely fiercely on the court because he lost his father-like old Bass.

He changed his previous style of passing first, and this game returned to his former black Mamba form. In the second and third quarters, he kept shooting and breaking through the Trail Blazers' basket.

Li Liang knew that Kobe would definitely be in a bad mood tonight, and he would not give up without getting 40 points.

So, Li Liang kept making goals for Kobe with Nash on the outside.

Kobe pursed his lips from beginning to end, pouring all his firepower onto the Trail Blazers' basket.

The Trail Blazers were in trouble, we just happened to come to Los Angeles to play a game.

This is how the schedule is arranged, we can’t do anything about it!

Kobe scored consecutive goals, making the Trail Blazers unable to even call two timeouts.

Nash and Li Liang are eyeing each other on the outside. If you dare to attack them casually, their three-pointers are not vegetarians.

At the end of the third quarter, Kobe had already scored 40 points!

The Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 19 points.

The Trail Blazers are really in trouble, and the fourth quarter turns into garbage time.

Kobe has not made a debut again. If Jerry Bass is still there, he will be very excited to see his performance like this.

...

After playing the Trail Blazers, the Lakers flew to Texas and arrived in Dallas to play a away game.

The Mavericks, who are getting worse and worse, did not cause too much trouble to the Lakers. The Lakers took away a victory with a 105:99 and 6 points advantage.

In this game, Nowitzki made a comeback and Li Liang faced the German super power forward for the first time.

Although he lost the game, Nowitzki made 11 of 19 shots and scored 30 points.

Li Liang met a "defensible" person again. He was too tall and Li Liang could not reach it at all.

His shooting is too accurate and there is little meaning in any interference.

But except Nowitzki, the performance of others is really terrible.

Except for Nowitzki, none of the starters scored in double digits.

He made 2 of 10 shots and 3 of 10 shots. Only with the substitute veteran Brand, Vince Carter, found some of the games so he would not lose too badly.

After the game, Li Liang seized the opportunity and touched the old driver's head, thinking that he was so tired, so there should be no problem.

After the match against the Mavericks, the Lakers went to Denver, the Plateau, and the final game of the Nuggets this season.

This season, the Lakers have been very hard to play against the Nuggets because the Nuggets have a great forward line and they are also relatively restrained in their playing style.

The Lakers were in average form in this game, and they were away games again, so they were beaten 9:0 by the Nuggets at the beginning.

In the first quarter, the Nuggets completely rushed up, especially at Tylawson, and Nash's defensive weakness was once again exploited.

The Nuggets led the Lakers by 6 in the first quarter, 7 points ahead of the Lakers in the second quarter, and 13 points in the half.

In the second half, Li Liang took a hit score and led the team to catch up.

As a result, Kobe beaten Santiago and wasted his chance to tie the score.

Li Liang saw that Kobe was in a low mood recently, and did not speak out.

But after this opportunity wasted, the Nuggets counterattacked 8:0 and widened the gap again.

The Lakers never solved Ty Lawson's point, and he opened it up. He scored 22 points, 8 assists and 1 steal in the game, leading the Nuggets to defeat the Lakers by 118:110, 8 points, further consolidating their playoff spots.

In these games, Li Liang clearly felt that the non-playoff teams were playing loosely.

The playoff teams are very targeted. They are no longer in the past encounters. They set up their own teams to play wherever they play.

The coaching staff will make careful pre-match preparations and summarize the battle guidelines and strategies based on the previous season games.

For example, when the Nuggets play against the Lakers, they start using wheel battles for Li Liang.

Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, and Cory Brewer took turns to play.

This was the case when dealing with Kobe in the past, and now Li Liang has the same treatment.

It’s not how strong Li Liang’s personal ability is, but that everyone knows the importance of Li Liang to the Lakers.

Therefore, no matter what lineup the Nuggets are on, they always have a tall forward line that can oppress Li Liang, and do not give him the opportunity to fully play.

It can be imagined that Li Liang will definitely encounter such treatment in the playoffs.

He needs to slowly adapt to this intensity, the playoffs and regular seasons are two completely different levels of confrontation.

But will Li Liang be afraid?

I'm afraid you will have a goal, what's amazing after the playoffs.

I was in the advanced mission and played a finals and was shocked!

After returning from Los Angeles, the Lakers team got two days off.

Li Liang was ready, entered the system, and opened the [City of Angels], the third mission of Boston Garden's tiebreak curse.

[Task, Boston Garden's tiebreak curse, June 12, 1984, location, Boston Garden Arena, USA, against the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics, the task requires helping the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Celtics, win the tiebreak victory, and win the championship. The task rewards the golden shield fragments, and the task difficulty star.]
