Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth feeling wrong
The Clippers immediately faced the test and encountered trouble in the next game.
After playing the Pistons, the Clippers went to Charlotte to play against the Bobcats away.
This was a back-to-back away game. The team left Detroit overnight, but ended up encountering a blizzard in the central region at the airport, and the plane delayed the flight for three hours before taking off.
When the team arrived in Charlotte, it was already past seven in the morning, and the players came to the hotel with their tired bodies.
The team's training at noon was cancelled and everyone slept and rested in the hotel.
It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon that the Clippers organized a stadium in Charlotte to adapt to the venue.
Three hours later, the game was held at the Time Warner Arena in Charlotte, and the Clippers players were obviously in poor condition.
The Bobcats took advantage of the home court and fought against the Clippers, and the Clippers' outside feel was quite bad.
Li Liang saw that his teammates couldn't make it, so he just did it himself.
Tonight, he scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, but his teammates performed so poorly.
Griffin was in a foul crisis and was blown by the referee's whistle and his scalp was numb.
Now the referee in the league has learned his lesson when he wants to control the Clippers' whistle. No one else will touch Li Liang except Crawford.
But if you will stare at other Clippers players, the home whistle will be particularly obvious tonight.
Griffin made two fouls in the first quarter and four fouls in the third quarter. His time on the court was cut to pieces.
Li Liang didn't understand. A person like Griffin who didn't defend much and had short arms and couldn't catch anyone, so how could the referee make a foul on him?
This business level is really high.
Li Liang not only attacked himself tonight, but also let go of his firepower and cursed the referee's coach and the fans on the scene.
Although he had a hair dryer, he couldn't resist scolding like this. The audience scolded him everywhere, and finally made the referee angry.
As a result, not long after the start of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was called a technical foul for the second time and was sent off.
This is the first time that Li Liang has been sent off since entering the NBA.
There was booing in the whole audience. Li Liang learned from Ranbir when he left the court and bowed gently to the fans on the scene to show his ridicule.
Needless to say, I will definitely be fined after this game.
But Li Liang didn't care, and the game was really boring.
The referee whistled like a lunatic, and on the Clippers, inspired by Li Liang's scolding, the whole team was fighting against the referee.
As a result, Li Liang was sent off, and then in the final stage of the fourth quarter, Griffin was sent off.
Both core players were sent off in the crucial fourth quarter. How can I play this game?
Rivers scratched his ears straight on the sidelines, but the Clippers did not give up at the last moment.
After 8 points behind, I chased all the way, but I finally caught up to only 1 point!
With three cores missing, the Clippers can play so tenaciously. Why?
Because I'm afraid of being scolded!
If you play well and lose in the end, it's okay, losing is inevitable.
But if you give up the game early and lose in the end, you will definitely be scolded to death by Li Liang after the game.
He would scold him during training, on the plane, and on the way to the hotel.
The Clippers are the second team to be scolded after the Lakers.
Numbness is actually good. Numbness will make players move forward like warriors, brave the fire of artillery, just for victory, rather than greed for life and death and want to escape.
Therefore, if Li Liang becomes the head coach in the future, the team he will be under will definitely be tenacious.
The Clippers tried their best tonight, but in the end they failed to win the Bobcats. They lost to the Bobcats at a slight disadvantage of 96:97, 1 point.
Crawford failed to hit the final moment, and the Clippers suffered another defeat.
Li Liang checked the game results through his mobile phone in the locker room and knew that his teammates had tried their best.
Rivers returned to the locker room with the players and encouraged everyone, we had tried our best, but tonight was not a suitable night for winning.
Li Liang felt strange, why did he feel that the referees are targeting the Clippers recently?
Moreover, the referees seemed to be becoming more and more disobedient, not as understanding as before, and always fought against Li Liang.
I have learned to talk back recently! I have been against him.
After the post-match press conference, the team immediately took a bus to the airport and flew to the next destination, Toronto.
This time, Li Liang brought his passport and would not be unable to pass the situation again.
On the plane, the teammates fell asleep. It took more than four hours to fly from North Carolina to Toronto, and everyone was very tired.
Back to back of the away game, coupled with the frustration after losing, the special plane was very quiet, and only the roar of the plane's engine could be heard.
Li Liang did not sleep. He opened the curtain of the plane porthole. The deep night enveloped the sky above the North American continent, and the stars shone brightly in the dark night.
Sitting next to Li Liang was Mike Brown. He wasn't sleeping, and was doing data statistics with his computer on.
If the computer screen was not on, otherwise Brown's face would not be visible with the help of the faint light on the plane.
Too dark!
Occasionally I could see a bright white in the darkness, which was his teeth.
Don’t look at Brown’s usual laughs and laughs, he is really serious about his work.
He has been learning new things in data analysis recently and can better guide the team's defense.
Li Liang leaned forward and asked softly: Mike, why do I feel that the league is targeting us recently? Why does it seem to be getting stricter with our whistle?
Mike Brown took his eyes off the computer screen, pushed his glasses and said: Don't talk nonsense, the alliance is fair.
Li Liang interrupted Brown and said: Stop messing with Mike, you were in the Cavaliers, who didn’t know that the league wanted to recommend you, but why wouldn’t it be great? If it were me, the Cavaliers should be dynasty.
Brown had a little embarrassed face and said: Uh, Bruce, I know you are outspoken, and then there are all kinds of rumors in the media, but some words are absolutely impossible to say, do you understand?
Li Liangdao: Is there anything that cannot be said? Isn’t the United States free speech?
Without absolute freedom, freedom is limited!
I'm not an American.
But you are in the United States and play in the NBA!
Li Liang rolled his eyes to Brown, and he understood what Brown meant.
For a professional sports league, its operational foundation is not good-looking, not stars, cheerleaders, not commercial broadcasts, but the word fairness.
Any commercial sports competition, once the word fairness is missing, the consequences will definitely be devastating.
Because this means that all the confrontational story legends in the entire league are built on a scam.
Fans of any sports league hate counterfeits, and managerial players, at least on the surface, are also despised by counterfeits.
However, for huge interests and fame that thousands of people are sought after, there will always be people taking risks.
In the history of American professional sports, the black sock scandal in 1919 had a huge impact on the counterfeiting of the ball.
You know, that was in 1919, less than thirty years after basketball was born, and the first professional league was not yet born, and baseball had already started playing counterfeit balls.
It is enough to show that he is a younger brother in the American Basketball League.
But my brother soon came from behind.
The basketball betting scandal broke out in the NCAA League in 19501951. Seven players from City University of New York were involved in the betting storm and admitted to participating in the betting game, which resulted in the almost collapse of the American college basketball league.
A direct consequence of this incident was that NBA Learning MLB launched the All-Star Game to divert the attention of basketball fans across the country.
For businessmen, distracting their attention when encountering problems is always one of the best ways to deal with them.
NBA has now become a thorough business alliance, so there are endless rumors about league manipulation games, but there has never been a real story.
Because this is the fundamental point of whether an alliance can gain a foothold. Once it is confirmed, the consequences will be absolutely devastating.
So outsiders can guess that NBA's own people will never admit it, never.
But Li Liang's feelings were very accurate. He vaguely felt that the referee was targeting the Clippers.
He is not the kind of fool who plays with silence on Jordan. He knows the situation on the court very well.
Seeing that Li Liang was still confused, Mike Brown hesitated for a moment and said: Bruce, if you play your ball well, you will definitely become the best basketball player in the world. As for your questions, put them in your stomach. You know, David Stern is about to leave the position of president recently.
