On January 1, 2013, the first day of the new year, New Year's Day, the NBA is not closed.

The Los Angeles Lakers have ended a three-day break to welcome their first opponent of the new year in Stamps, the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.

The service industry, there is no way, ordinary people rest, they have to go to work.

After beating the Trail Blazers in their last game, the Lakers have won seven in a row.

They are currently the hottest team in the league, and their momentum has overshadowed the Miami Heat.

This game against the 76ers is just a game that can be easily won in the eyes of everyone.

But the 76ers proved once again that there are no weak teams in the NBA, and they kept the Lakers in the first half low.

Jrue Holiday played well at this point, pressing Nash to play, various individual offenses, breakaways, outside threes, and passing to lead the team.

Last season, the 76ers just completed the Black Eight, although it was stained with Rose's reimbursement, but then they also played 7 games against the Celtics in the semifinals, which shows their strength and tenacity.

This season, the 76ers kept their main lineup, Holiday and Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner.

After being "humiliated" by the Lakers at home in the last game, of course, he had to go to Stamp to get back on the court.

In the first half, the 76ers led the Lakers by two points, 54-52.

In the third quarter, the 76ers still firmly suppressed the Lakers.

Howard's poor play is one of the reasons.

He was disastrous on the offensive end tonight, failing to score a single goal in the first half.

But Howard didn't have Li Liang's yin and yang harmony pills, he didn't score in the first half, and he still didn't score in the second half.

Not only could he not hit the low-post singles, but even the hanging ball given to him by Nash and Li Liang was unstable.

Howard's form has been up and down since the start of the season, with good and bad times, and more bad and less good.

At first, he was quite emotional, thinking that Kobe Bryant would not pass the ball to him, and Brown would not formulate a strategy for him.

But after fighting for a while, he had to admit that he was really not the same monster he used to be.

Don't think about it, even a long center like Hawes, who was pushed and beaten by him in the past, he can't play now.

The negative impact of the back injury and the lumbar spine injury is huge, and now his knee is not as good as it used to be, and he has to wear knee braces for the game.

Warcraft's style of play is very dependent on physical fitness, and as soon as the physical fitness declines, it is slow, sluggish, and the jump is not so high, and the power is not good.

In the third quarter, Brown still tried to take care of Howard and let him attack more.

As a result, several chances were wasted, and both sides went from 52:54 to 78:84.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by six points.

Kobe Bryant quit, and yesterday everyone had dinner together and said that they would win the championship for the New Year.

Thinking about today's game, to get the first win of the new year, the result is like this?

Kobe Bryant's temper has always been straightforward, Howard has repeatedly failed to shoot, and the defensive end has leaked.

During the bench break, he directly told Howard that you don't shoot in the fourth quarter and defend first.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the bench was very awkward, and Howard did not speak, but he dropped the towel on his hand.

In the entire Lakers, only Li Liang scolds, and everyone will not be angry, he has a hair dryer.

Howard was a little unacceptable to Kobe Bryant's directness.

But his heart has been consumed a lot by reality, and he held back for a long time, saying: "I know how to play." ”

Brown didn't want to see that, but he didn't know how to deal with it perfectly, so he clapped his hands and shouted encouragement to his players to divert his attention.

He thought to himself, the team's record is so good, can't they give up a step?

Before entering the court, Brown patted Li Liang and tried to look at him.

Li Liang rolled his eyes back to Brown, why do you want Lao Tzu to be a mediator?

Don't do it.

Li Liang himself was upset.

He couldn't play the task for a few days in a row, and he played well in the game today, but he was attacked in various ways on the defensive end.

Why, because he doesn't have a defensive focus.

Li Liang's current defensive level is suitable for being a biter.

The other party has a core, and he goes one-on-one to consume the other side.

But the 76ers don't have an absolute core, so that Li Liang can support a defensive system by himself like Warcraft and Duncan?

No way, how can he have that level.

The backcourt rebounds are very well protected, and they have grabbed 11 boards in the third quarter.

But don't think about the cap or anything, the basket is still his weakness.

Howard's performance is so decadent, and without the reassuring barrier behind him, isn't it a bad fight.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Holiday hit another throw from the inside.

Li Liang tried his best to block it, but it still didn't interfere with success.

Li Liang was angry, and punched the basketball that landed on the ground, knocking the ball away.

"Beep~Beep!"

The referee blew a whistle and gave Li Liang a technical foul.

This is Li Liang's first technical foul since entering the NBA.

Of course, there is no reward in the system, and the referee rewards the opponent with a free throw.

Seeing this, Mike Brown replaced Li Liang and let Gasol play.

When Li Liang came out of the break, Brown sat next to him and asked him if he was in trouble.

He didn't look too good tonight.

Li Liang said: "Our basket is too bad, but there is nothing I can do. ”

Brown sighed and thought to himself, this kid really broke his heart for the team.

He played from a No. 3 position to a No. 4 position, originally just grabbing rebounds and defending a bit, and now he has to worry about protecting the basket again.

Brown said: "There are some things that you can't do if you want to, and people's abilities are limited after all. ”

Li Liang didn't speak, you know a fart! In the past, Lao Tzu didn't know how to respond, but now he can't?

People can look down on me, how can you Mike Brown?

Seeing that Li Liang didn't speak, Brown said again: "Hmm... If you want to practice, the team trainer can help you, but it takes more talent. People should do what they are good at. ”

Li Liang wiped his sweat, he didn't think about raising his basket to Howard's level.

I just want to improve a little bit, and then enter the system to complete Duncan's task first.

I can use it in competitions in the future.

His current weak side defense is 21 points and 22 points in blocking, and his ability to protect the basket is stronger than Curry and Nash.

Of course, this value is much stronger than when I first got the system.

As you gain weight, your strength increases, your tasks improve, and your training improves, from almost nothing to a little bit.

But it's still not enough, not enough at all, especially when you're dealing with Duncan.

It's useless to use outside tricks against Duncan.

Li Liang was still thinking about Duncan, and on the court, Kobe Bryant had already appeared on the court and began to launch a final counterattack.

He first forced the inside to make a foul, killed Hawes, and scored Hawes to 5 and went to the break.

Then on the defensive end, it's up to him to defend Holiday .

The physical Kobe Bryant, defensive skills and enthusiasm are not to be said.

Go straight to the front court for a steal, then dribble to the basket.

Kobe Bryant doesn't accelerate and rush, but controls the speed, you Holiday dare to chase too hard, I will make you foul.

In the end, Holiday didn't dare to get his hands on it, and watched Kobe Bryant's left-handed layup.

The 76ers called a timeout.

Kobe's continuous operation pulled Li Liang back from distraction.

He patted his cheek and let his attention return to the game.

"Mike, let me play! I'm going to play! Let me go! Get me on! ”

Li Liang began to urge Brown again, Brown waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't worry, pause, let's arrange tactics." We had a chance, and we had to control the opponent's breakthrough on the defensive end. Play a few key balls, key defenses, and fight for every ball. No matter what difficulties we encounter this season, we will try our best to win, Come?on, come on! ”

Brown was inspired by a chicken soup meal, and the score was 91-88, and the Lakers only trailed by 3 points.

Li Liang replaced Howard, he rubbed his face and took a deep breath.

On the first defense when he came back, Li Liang "returned to his old business" and caused Turner's foul on the ball in the waist position.

Then, Li Liang put down a three-point shooting rate improvement post (a), accepted Shi's pass in the bottom corner, and hit a three-point shot!

The score is equalized!

The Lakers, who were pressed for a whole game, relied on fighting spirit and perseverance to turn the situation around.

No team can stay in good shape every game, and no player can feel good every game.

However, a strong team will definitely overcome its own various situations and problems, seize the loopholes of the opponent, and control the final victory in its own hands.

The game isn't over yet, and the 76ers certainly won't give up.

Holiday played well in this game, and after making a high double cover on the outside with his teammates, he directly held the ball to the basket!

Gasol wasn't fast enough, and the defense was passed by Holiday and Holiday was about to go to the basket.

At this moment, a hand came from behind and pressed on the ball that Holiday had not had time to shoot!

Howard is now sitting on the sidelines, and it was Li Liang who gave away this big hat!

He forcibly covered Holiday with an imperative layup!

Tu Laozi suddenly broke out all night, are you happy? I'll send you a Chongqing spicy hot pot to eat!

The ball was also taken by the Lakers, and Gasol took the ball and passed it to Kobe Bryant, who ran to the frontcourt.

This cap, the basket, Duncan level!

Kobe Bryant took the ball and rushed forward, while looking back, the 76ers' retreat attention was on him.

Li Liang on the flank was following, and in the bottom corner on the left, Kobe's ball was given to Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't hesitate for even 0.1 seconds to get the ball, and hit a three-point shot!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang swung his fist hard, and Stamps, who had been holding back the whole game, was thunderous.

Laugh until the end, and then laugh the sweetest.

The momentum of the 76ers was completely suppressed, and they could only call another timeout.

But it doesn't help, the Lakers' classic car, if it doesn't soar, it can't stop.

Nash, who was pressed by Holiday for a whole game, came back to steal Holiday successfully.

He didn't fight back, pressed time to play position, and after cooperating with Li Liang, he hit a mid-range jumper at the last second!

Bad, bad, that's how the senior team is.

Losing against a young team is mostly a rush to death.

Losing against an older team is mostly a wilted death.

Holiday was a bit of a collapse in mentality, two were broken, and one was capped.

The young man actually played quite well today, but the Tao was not deep enough.

The Lakers who controlled the situation, all that was left was Kobe Bryant's low-post single-handedness, ball after ball.

Maintained the advantage until the last minute of the game.

At 108:101, the Lakers beat the 76ers by 7 points.

Bryant scored 36 points, pushing his season scoring average to more than 30 points per game and continuing to lead the scoring charts.

Of course, the hit rate is not to be said, cough ......

Li Liang's stats are average, 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 key block.

But his role is beyond the reach of data.

Although he really, really wants data.
