After the loss to the Warriors, the Lakers improved their record to 54-16.

They are still in first place in the West, half a game ahead of the second-placed Spurs.

Next up against the Minnesota Timberwolves is the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Lakers flew to Minneapolis overnight, and the city is still the Lakers' lair.

If they hadn't been in Minneapolis, they wouldn't have given Lakers a name that is poetic in English and unknown in Chinese.

Anyway, everyone is used to yelling and yelling, think about it carefully, "Lakers"? What the heck?

Are there still "pond people", "river people" or "sea people"?

The Lakers left Minneapolis early, and the Timberwolves were the only ones in the city for many years.

It shows that the people of this city still love basketball very much, that is, the Timberwolves are far less competitive than the Lakers.

In short, turning the history of the Timberwolves is a history of blood and tears, a history of brain damage, a collection of mistakes, and a selection of five embarrassments.

Before Li Liang participated in the draft, he went to the Timberwolves for a tryout.

Later, because of the prestige of the Timberwolves, the tunnel gave up the idea of playing here.

Besides, Li Liang doesn't like places where it's too cold, he needs sunshine.

After a day of rest in the hotel, the team had a simple training session.

As the playoffs approach, the team's training intensity is slowly decreasing to allow the players to reserve more physical reserves.

Li Liang took the time to rest and adjust, and he put Maddie's task aside for the time being.

It's already tiring to play away from home, and if you do it again, you will lose the game.

Although the team's requirement is to keep the top three, Li Liang thinks that if he can win the first place, why not take it?

In the playoffs, home field advantage is still very important.

The Miami Heat are on a frantic winning streak, winning 27 in a row after beating the Orlando Magic on the 25th.

This terrible streak number, I don't know if it will continue.

They are currently six wins away from the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and they have successfully surpassed the Lakers in terms of record.

With a win difference, it jumped to the first place in the league.

Of course, winning streaks are a huge honour, but it's also a lot of pressure.

When the winning streak builds up to a certain level, the whole world will want to beat you.

Any team you come up with will fight back with all their might, and they will target you in every way until they beat you.

Therefore, the pressure of the Heat's game is actually quite huge.

In contrast, the Lakers are relaxed.

And without Kobe Bryant's presence, it's even more relaxing!

At night, Li Liang entered the system and saw the [Kodinger's box], and he began to itch again.

Relax, do you want to stop having fun?

Li Liang didn't resist the temptation of Roddinger, and decided to go into the box again to change his ability value data.

Still in the box, there is still the hexawatt in front of me.

Li Liang thought about it, and his defense and physical fitness still couldn't move, which was the basis of the game.

Let's attack, I don't know what kind of master I will become this time?

……

On the night of the 25th, at the Target Center in Minneapolis, the Lakers started the second game of a four-game losing streak.

After the opening ceremony, the two sides introduced the players.

Li Liang started again, and he looked confident and radiant tonight!

Kobe Bryant is still sitting on the sidelines in a suit, in fact, his hands are itchy and he really wants to play.

At present, his ankle is no longer painful and can participate in team training normally.

If the team's record is not good, Kobe Bryant will definitely return to the game.

It's just that now the Lakers have this condition, so they can let Kobe Bryant rest more, so let's rest more.

At the end of the appearance ceremony, Li Liang rarely ran to the technical table to get some magnesium powder, and ran to Kobe Bryant to play.

Then he dangled and swayed in front of Kobe, as if he particularly wanted to get Kobe's attention.

When Kobe Bryant saw him like this, his heart was on fire, and he especially wanted to give him a jio or an elbow.

“What‘s up！ (What's the matter with you!) ）”

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but say, went up and patted Li Liang, is this kid nervous today?

Li Liang laughed and said, "Kobe, take a good look at my performance today, you can rest on the sidelines, you don't have to play." ”

Kobe Bryant was confused, this kid used to be quite normal.

What the hell is going on tonight?

When the Timberwolves-Lakers game began, Kobe Bryant quickly knew the answer.

The Timberwolves started tonight with Pekovic, Derrick Williams, Rubio, Andrei Kirilenko and Luke Ridno.

This lineup is also unique enough, four of the five starters are white, which is very, very rare in the current black NBA.

Of the five whites, three are foreigners, from three different countries.

On the Timberwolves' bench, there are also four white main bench rotations of Sherved, Zeiss Badinger, J.J. Barria and Greg Stearnsma.

If the NBA requires every team to send only white players, the Timberwolves are probably the strongest.

However, the biggest problem with such a lineup is naturally the lack of athleticism.

The Lakers' athletic ability is very average, and the Timberwolves' athleticism is not much better than that of the Lakers.

In recent years, the Timberwolves have really had a lot of high picks, but it's a pity that they can always avoid the right answer perfectly.

To be honest, if I were the management of the Timberwolves, I wouldn't do any work, and I would go to the forum and copy the draft suggestions of netizens, and I guess it wouldn't be as miserable as it is now.

As far as the Timberwolves' lineup of more than half of the white people is concerned, it is probably called "white matching".

And after the start of the game, the player who defended Li Liang was none other than the famous Russian AK-47, Kirilenko.

The former all-around monster, a block maniac at the forward position, returned to the Timberwolves this season after a season in Russia and was signed by the Timberwolves.

As for why the Timberwolves signed Kirilenko, a former player who has declined significantly and has returned to his hometown to play, it is unknown.

Probably because he's white.

Li Liang faced Kirilenko's defense, and the first few minutes of the first quarter were decent, not much different from his usual play.

If there's a difference, it's that this kid doesn't shoot threes again.

Needless to say, the ability value of the empty three-point position was lost by him again, and it was changed to other projects.

Kobe Bryant was firmly staring at the situation on the court off the court, and he wanted to see what kind of medicine Li Liang was selling in his gourd.

Both sides played smoothly in the opening offense, after all, the head coach of the Timberwolves is Adelman, and he has always been very good at adjusting the offense.

However, by the middle of the first quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides began to decline.

The game was a bit messy, and neither side scored much.

Rubio was cleared by the Lakers on offense and then missed a three-point shot.

Howard grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and handed Nash to control the ball.

Li Liang blocked and demolished at a high position as usual, but this time he covered the blocking position more deeply and stood in the horn position.

When Nash returned the ball, Kirilenko's defense quickly came up.

Li Liang shook the ball in front of Kirilenko, and then suddenly made a strong shot!

In the horn position, the basket of the strong shot, shot, the ball is in!

Bryant was stunned on the bench.

Well? Isn't this Lao Tzu's trick?

When he first played the Jazz, Kobe Bryant didn't use this trick to score points on Kirilenko's head.

"Luck, it must be luck." Kobe Bryant thought that Li Liang would not have learned this trick.

In order to practice this trick to perfection, Kobe Bryant spent almost 10 years of hard work and experience on the field.

only to reach the point where he can retract and release freely, ignore the defense, and directly throw the opponent to death.

Li Liang this ......

Hey, the Lakers counterattacked, Li Liang counterattacked to receive the ball in the left corner, and shot in the middle distance again in the face of the defense!

Got in again?

, Kobe Bryant was puzzled, how could he still enter?

Illusion, luck, this kid has always had good luck and can often throw some fairy balls.

So it must be lucky, where will he shoot, how will he understand the essence of the middle distance in the horn position?

In the second half of the first quarter, Li Liang directly asked for the ball at the top of the arc this time.

Nash handed the ball to Li Liang, who received the ball sideways, and he followed Kobe's example to protect the ball.

His ball guard is really a bit like Kobe.

But he had no form and not his god, because he had no elbows.

After protecting the ball, Kirilenko came closely, and Li Liang took advantage of his height to shoot directly against Kirilenko!

Li Liang's jump shot is very fast because of the bonus of [zero-second shot].

He didn't use the segmented jump shots of strong physical players in the 90s like Kobe, Maddie and Ray Allen, but jumpers with all their bodies working together.

Such shots have a lower point of shot, but are faster and have a longer range.

Li Liang shot directly at the top of the arc and hit two points again!

As soon as the goal was scored, the Lakers led the Timberwolves by six points in the first quarter.

When both sides are in average offensive state and tactics can't be played, use this kind of basket to help the team open up the situation.

Isn't this what Kobe Bryant did in the past?

Off the court, Kobe Bryant applauded Li Liang's wonderful goal, while frowning, feeling that things were not simple.

He wondered, should he think about it and make a comeback sooner?

Otherwise, when he comes back, will he still have a tactical position?
