Chapter 150: The Best Start in History

Li Liang got the chance to play in the second half of the first quarter, and by this time the Lakers had already gained the advantage on the court.

They played steadily, and with Nash's threading and Kobe's reasonable lead, the offensive efficiency was extraordinarily high.

And after the Rockets hit three three-pointers in the opening game, the player's hand fell into a trough.

James Harden, in particular, missed the last four shots, resulting in a counterattack by the Lakers.

Li Liang contributed an open three-pointer in the counterattack, and in the last 5 seconds of the first quarter, he used a full-court backcourt serve to pass the ball to Gasol, and Gasol made a layup!

In the first quarter, the Lakers led the Rockets by 15 points at 41:26, laying a huge advantage in one fell swoop.

Li Liang saw that the difference was 15 points, could he enter garbage time?

In the last garbage time, I dared to fight, but I didn't get 30 points in one move.

If you have the opportunity to wear the medal of "Trash King" today, you won't have a good time on the field.

So, this is really a good opportunity to beat the overboard rocket.

So, in the personnel rotation stage at the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang posted a [three-point shooting rate improvement post (a)] to himself, five minutes, 10 percent.

The Rockets' defense on the outside was really lax, and their head coach McHale was absent tonight due to family reasons, and assistant coach Sampson replaced him.

So, Li Liang seized the five-minute time point in the second quarter, and constantly cooperated with Nash on the outside, and threw the ball outside the three-point line!

This guy threw a decisive and happy, anyway, one step or two outside the three-point line, and he shot it when there was a little gap.

The Rockets obviously did not make a targeted arrangement for Li Liang's ultra-long three-point shooting, but Li Liang made 3 of 4 shots and 3 three-point shots and stopped.

Li Liang has already scored 12 points, hitting 4 three-pointers in the first half, and 4 of 5 three-pointers, with a terrible shooting rate.

Good guys, the coaches and management on the Rockets' side covet it, this is a real three-point shooter.

In fact, not only because of Li Liang's good shooting skills, he also has a rune bonus, a hit rate bonus, and Nash's comfortable passing bonus, plus the Rockets don't defend, if you want to fight the Lakers for three points, can you not be sure?

At the end of the timeout, the Rockets immediately replaced Harden.

Harden went down to rest at the end of the first quarter, and Li Liang played with Harden for the first time.

In the summer, I also watched Harden play in the Finals with the Thunder, and inexplicably he put on the jersey of the Rockets.

Of course, Harden has proven in the first two games of the season that he has what it takes to lead a team.

His scoring, as well as his passing, is what the young and talentless Rocket desperately needs.

After Morey came to power, he pursued the strategy of not messing around, exchanging gross tickets for whole money, and the second-round Taobao team building strategy, and Harden was their most important link.

Because a team needs talent and superstars no matter what.

In the first quarter, Harden felt bad, and with Li Liang's three-point blow, the Rockets were already 20 points behind the Lakers.

After returning to the court, Harden was not in a hurry and started with offensive organization.

He's creative with his passing, he's got a lot of vision and can deliver the kind of ball that changes the offensive situation.

Li Liang was in opposition to Harden on the court, and he felt that this black fat man had something.

In the 10 games played by Li Liang before, no player could be as unhurried as Harden and slowly drive the team's offense.

He started with a three-pointer to break the Rockets' scoring deadlock.

Then the counterattack distributed the ball to Marcus Morris in the bottom corner, and Morris received the ball and hit a three-point shot to chase six points in a row.

Li Liang asked himself if he couldn't pass this ball, he didn't have this vision, and he didn't have this technique.

Harden isn't particularly fast, but his one-handed passing makes him a threat on the offensive end.

When defending, you have to take into account whether he will suddenly pass the ball and create opportunities for his teammates.

It seems that playing with this fat man is a bit interesting, and you have to use your brains.

What kind of garbage time thing, Li Liang has left it behind and began to work with Harden wholeheartedly.

Defending outside strongmen is one of Li Liang's great pleasures, and it's really fun to fight wits and courage with them.

The Rockets changed their defensive strategy, allowing Morris to focus on Li Liang alone, not giving Li Liang an easy opportunity to make a shot.

Then Li Liang won't vote.

In the positional battle against Harden, Li Liang leaned slightly to the right and gave up a little on the right side to Harden.

He found that Harden's left-hand breakthrough was quite sharp, and his right hand was relatively poor.

Sure enough, Harden saw that Li Liang was a little vacant on the right side, and hesitated slightly.

But after he dribbled under his crotch continuously, he still forcibly walked from the left side, and then rubbed his arm against Li Liang!

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and blew for Li Liang's foul.

Li Liang was stunned, why did I foul?

I just followed him, and he rubbed his arm against me!

Li Liang walked up to the referee, turned on the hair dryer, and said to the referee in a gentle voice: "I'm CNM." ”

Li Liang spoke in Chinese, and his tone was soft, and the referee didn't know that he was scolding himself.

Then, Li Liang chattered to the referee, and the referee JT Orr was sweating profusely by Li Liang.

But the penalty cannot be changed, Li Liang added an extra foul, and the game continued.

Harden stared at Li Liang with big eyes and said, "Did you scold the referee?" ”

Li Liang said: "No, how can I scold the referee?" Joke. ”

Harden said: "You scolded, I can understand that sentence, you scolded." ”

Don't forget, Harden is on the Rockets, Yao Ming has been there for 9 years, and all kinds of national scolding are estimated to have been learned by the Rockets.

Li Liang said: "I'll scold, what's the matter, if you don't accept it, you can also scold it." ”

Harden shook his head with a smile and said that he didn't dare, at this time the outside served, Harden immediately came out to catch the ball, and then quickly broke through to the basket!

He wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Li Liang, but Li Liang followed, and poked the ball from behind the moment Harden picked up the ball!

The ball goes out of bounds, or the Rocket's possession.

Harden realized that this person is not easy to deal with, why is it that the Dafa of distraction is not useful?

Li Liang realized that this fat man was a thief, and gave him a test of the ball blindness index:

[The ball blind index is 1%, the so-called life is two, two is three, three is everything, and there is 1 on the basketball court, so there is everything. This is the grandmaster of the real ball blindness, who has insight into the essence of the basketball world, firmly grasps the 1, and understands the origin of basketball offense and defense, so in front of him, everything is unstoppable and unhindered. 】

Li Liang was shocked, this was the highest evaluation given by this since he had a ball blind dissolver.

The ball blindness index is only one percent, and the whole process is "praise", but I don't understand it, what is this 1, this "origin", "no obstacle"?

In any case, Harden's status in Li Liang's conscience has been greatly improved, and he is a great master of ball blindness.

But if the Great Grandmaster is not a big Grandmaster, it may not work in the arena.

The Lakers built up a lead in the first and second quarters that was too big.

When the Lakers' main team returns to the court, there will be a few blind masters in the Lakers' lineup, Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant didn't play blindly tonight, he played extremely reasonable and scientific.

Attacking, defending and passing, he is simply an all-round king.

The Lakers have always maintained a 15-point advantage, while the Rockets are too young after all, and every time they feel like they are about to get up, they make a wave of mistakes or hit iron, and the Lakers seize the opportunity to counterattack.

There was no way to turn the tide of the situation, after all, there was a lack of experience, and there was no defense.

A team without defense can't play against the wind.

Even with their new core, the Rockets still have a long, long way to go.

Li Liang failed to use his "Trash King" medal, and the difference between the two sides remained between 10 and 15 points, and the tenacious Rockets held on until the last minute of the game.

The Lakers maintained a good offensive posture from start to finish, and Bryant scored his first triple-double of the season, with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.

At the end of the game, Bryant, who was sitting on the bench, was smiling like Howard.

Li Liang is very depressed, he scored 20 points in the game like Kobe, and shot 4 of 6 three-pointers, ranking first in the league in three-point shooting percentage.

But in this victory, he didn't hold any rewards, no achievements and no lottery, which was equivalent to killing a monster, and as a result, he didn't lose any treasures.

Not even the anger value was collected, and the two sides fought tepidly against the offensive, and there was no conflict.

This is called a gas, you garbage rocket, why don't you know how to resist?

With a little exertion you fall.

After winning this game, the Lakers have won 11 consecutive games, tying the best opening record in Lakers history.

The previous two seasons were in 1997-1998 and 2000-2001, with the 01 season winning the championship.

The Lakers are already the hottest team in the league, and of course, they have become the league's number one thorn in the side.

Now there is only one undefeated Lakers, and everyone is waiting to see when the Lakers will lose.

In Game 12, the Lakers faced the Brooklyn Nets at home.

Kobe Bryant had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Howard had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Li Liang had 13 points, hitting 3 three-pointers, easily defeating the opponent 100:90, winning 12 consecutive games, and creating the best start in history.

In Game 13, the Lakers finally ended a sweet streak at home and started a small wave of road trips, the first stop was Sacramento.

Kobe Bryant exploded in this game, scoring 40 points in the game.

But Howard fell into a slump and entered a state of not being able to score the ball again, just because Cousins on the opposite side came back, and he couldn't beat Cousins?

The Lakers were suppressed by the Kings all over the court, but Li Liang stepped up again.

Contributed a key steal in the crucial fourth quarter, and then assisted Kobe Bryant for a layup to tie the score.

In the last defense, Li Liang made an offensive foul on Cousins, and the referee attached a technical foul, and the Lakers hit a free throw to give a one-point lead.

There was no time, the Kings could only foul, sent Li Liang to the free throw line, and after hitting both free throws, the Kings lost 120-123 at home and scored 3 points.

Li Liang had 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and his performance was extremely crucial, helping the Lakers win the best 13 consecutive wins in history.

Cousins and Lear's friendship almost came to an end because of this game.

Later, because Li Liang promised Cousins to give him Kobe Bryant's autographed original jersey, the relationship between the two was as good as ever.

However, in this game, the Lakers have played very hard, and their biggest deficit is 15 points.

In the end, it was purely Kobe Bryant's personal scoring ability, as well as Li Liang's defense and three-point shots to save it, and there was an element of luck.

The longer a team's winning streak is, the greater the pressure will be on both internally and externally.

After leaving Sacramento, the team set off for the destination of Game 14, Memphis.

They will start two tough back-to-backs.
