Chapter 522: Bright Light
The [Strong Shot Three] task has a really high stat increase.
The last time I completed Maravic's mission, my ability points increased by 15 points, and this time I reached 60 points in one step.
However, the difficulty of the task is not small, and Li Liang was able to clear the level at one time, thanks to his strong psychological quality, keen timing, and talent and sense in shooting.
After experiencing the tempering in the real game, Li Liang's shooting mentality and skills have made a huge leap.
Now Li Liang is already thinking, what kind of situation will it be if one day he trains the ability value of the empty three-point position to 100 points?
In addition to gaining 20 ability points on this mission, Li Liang also got a [Map to the Space Library] prop.
Space Library, Li Liang thought of another prop before, the key to the [Space Library].
This must have something to do with the so-called space library.
Maybe it's the same as the [City of Angels Book], a prop to guide Li Liang to the next place.
But Li Liang has no interest in this thing for the time being.
Li Liang opened this map and looked at it, and sure enough, there was nothing, and there must be other props, so Li Liang didn't care.
Leaving the system, Li Hao had a good rest for a day, and the next day he accompanied Zhu Shu to Santa Monica Beach to look at the sea.
After all, in April, when the spring flowers are blooming, you should be facing the sea.
On April 6th, the penultimate game of the Clippers' regular season, the opponent is the Lakers again!
The Lakers have given up on rushing to the lottery this season after losing to the Clippers by 55 points last time.
Nash has already revealed in a good media exchange that this will be the final season of his NBA career.
Gasol missed the game with a knee injury, while Ci Shiping also missed the game with an injury.
Kobe Bryant and Howard played, but the two were somewhat at odds on the court.
The personalities of the two were originally conflicting and incompatible, and they could each make a step forward when they had a good record last season, but they had a bad record this season and began to dislike each other.
Howard felt that Bryant made too many shots and passed too little, and his tactical core positioning was not highlighted.
Kobe Bryant thinks Lao Tzu was the MVP of the regular season last season, why should he give you the ball as a three-in-command?
But Kobe Bryant was affected by an Achilles tendon injury this season, and although he took the pill given by Li Liang, his state was not as good as before after all.
After the Lakers management decided to mess up, the arrogant Kobe Bryant chose to compromise, put down his arrogant figure, and picked up his old job of "striking iron" to help the Lakers mess up.
Not to mention, with Kobe's help, the Lakers have a lot easier on the road to rottenness.
As long as the ball is given to Kobe, the Lakers will basically lose this ball.
Komi is happy to watch, Kobe Bryant gets a high score, and then the Lakers can still lose, isn't it beautiful?
However, in this game on the night of April 6, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers really want to win, because the opponent is the Clippers.
The Clippers never show mercy when it comes to humiliating the Lakers, so of course the Lakers will have to resist!
It's a pity that the Lakers' current lineup and morale can't withstand the Clippers' crazy offense at all.
The game, which started at 7:30 p.m., took only two hours to decide the winner.
If it's a tight game, timeouts, fouls, free throws, and other moments add up to three hours.
The Clippers beat the Lakers, and the halftime was 71:51, leading by 20 points.
Li Liang didn't throw three-pointers indiscriminately in the first half by taking advantage of his ability to shoot three-pointers, and there is still a difference between him and Lao Ke.
He organized the team as always, pushing the Clippers' quick counter-attack with his rough fashion.
Although Li Liang made 5 mistakes in the first half, he also handed out 8 assists, and the whole Clippers team was in full bloom, so that the Lakers couldn't raise their heads.
The Lakers are a team, the ability of the players is okay, and even if Kobe Bryant declines, he is still in the top 20 in the league.
Howard is the same.
But D'Antoni is not a coach who watches the dishes, you give him pork and vermicelli, he makes pork stewed vermicelli for you, you give him beef and vermicelli, he makes beef stewed vermicelli, you give him fish and bear paws, he comes a fish stew with bear's paws, that is, stew, and he has no ability to adapt to local conditions.
Moreover, even if D'Antoni adapts to local conditions, the Lakers build a tactical system with Kobe and Howard as the core, they are bound to lag behind the times.
It can be said that last year's Lakers won the championship was the afterglow of the last decade, the last glory of the old era, and from this season, the old-school defense and positional basketball are about to be gone forever.
After trailing by 20 points at halftime, Bryant punched the locker in the locker room at halftime — and ended up bruising his finger.
Although it was a very minor injury and no major problem, Kobe Bryant still wore finger gloves on the court in the second half, and his fingers were already injured.
In the second half, the stubborn Kobe Bryant expected ability to turn the tide and began to use his personal ability to score non-stop.
At one point, the Lakers were close to the score, chasing the margin to only 10 points.
But Paul stepped up at this time and helped the Clippers stabilize the advantage with accurate mid-range and assists.
Paul is a player, it may not be possible for you to let him lead the team to a reversal, but it is still very reliable for him to hold on to the advantage.
Li Liang hit three three-pointers from an outside assist from Paul.
In the second half, he played relatively lightly, handing over the control of organization and command to Paul, and concentrating on defense and shooting three-pointers from the bottom corner.
After all, the Lakers are inferior to the Clippers in terms of overall strength, and the team's original strategy is to mess up.
As long as the loss is not too ugly, the gangsters will pass.
It's really ugly to lose, and there's no way around it.
The boss tried his best, and he is not to blame for losing, if you want to say that he can't do it, you can do it.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Lakers at home by 121-105, 16 points, defeated the Lakers four times in the regular season, and successfully improved the win to 67 games.
With just three wins in the final four games, the Clippers will become only the second team to reach 70 regular-season wins, following the Chicago Bulls in 1996.
Judging from the lineup, the Clippers just have one more sophomore Li Liang, and replacing others is just icing on the cake.
But the arrival of Li Liang has completely changed this team, from tactics to temperament, and has become an indomitable king division.
Of course, there is still credit to Mike Brown, whose rational use of Li Liang and the planning of the team's tactics have allowed the Clippers' combat power to be tapped and developed.
Rivers resolutely and decisively determined the correct path to establish Comrade Li Liang as the core and build the Clippers as a championship-winning team, which can be said to be a key turning point for the Clippers this season.
After playing the game against the Lakers, the entire NBA went into a break.
Because another big event in the national basketball world, the NCAA is about to reach its climax.
March Madness has come to an end, Final four is over, and the winner will be decided between the University of Connecticut and the University of Kentucky.
Kentucky is back on the top stage of the NCAA this year after last year's setback, and it has to be said that Calipari has two brushes and has reached the finals twice in three years.
As a Kentucky graduate, a four-year veteran, a soul figure, the number one serveer, the king of the free throw line, and the master of the cheerleading team, of course, he must fully support his alma mater!
Therefore, on April 7, Li Liang took a plane to Arlington, Texas, where the finals took place, to cheer for the University of Kentucky.
Before the start of the game, Li Liang also met with Coach Kalipari, and the two reminisced together.
Calipari has to sigh with emotion every time he sees Li Liang, how much is this kid hiding in Kentucky?
If he had been at his current level for four years, Kentucky would have at least two more championships, right?
Li Liang said, "I promise that in tomorrow's game, Kentucky will definitely win and win the ninth championship medal!" ”
What Li Liang said was conclusive, and he also analyzed it in front of Kalipa, saying that Kentucky would win.
Calipari thought, you can't play, you must win a yarn, but after thinking about it, it is also borrowed from Li Liang's auspicious words.
As a result, on the next day on April 8, the University of Kentucky fell into a passive poor performance at the beginning, and was pressed and beaten by the University of Connecticut.
In the end, the University of Kentucky did not turn over, losing to Connecticut by a 6-point gap of 54:60, Napier won the MOP, and Connectnium won the fourth championship in team history.
At the end of the race, Calipari couldn't hide the loss on his face, and the great feat of two championships in three years could not be achieved.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Li Liang, who also felt very uncomfortable when he saw the failure of his alma mater.
But what he didn't know was that Li Liang would start his career "crow's mouth" journey from now on, becoming a bright light on the road for the majority of fans to watch and gamble.
