The Hornets are an ill-fated team, having entered the league in 1988 and are one of the younger teams in history.

They started in Charlotte, then in New Orleans, then to Oklahoma because of a typhoon, and now back to their hometown in the South.

In fact, there is no shortage of stars in the history of the Hornets, and they have always been able to select very good players since they entered the league.

Mourning, Larry Johnson, Byron Davis, Chris Paul, David West, are all well-known characters in the league.

But the problem is, the Hornets can't keep people.

Every star who grew up with them ends up leaving for another city to shine.

Mourning got a championship retirement jersey with the Heat, Larry Johnson reached the Finals with a four-point finish in New York, Byron Davis was at the Warriors' Black Eight, Chris Paul went to the Clippers to break new ground, and David West went to the Pacers to help take off.

The Hornets have been lucky in the draft, and they have a good eye, and they can play every time they pick a high-pick rookie.

So, in the end, the wasp always makes wedding dresses for others.

sent one, introduced a group of newcomers, and sent another batch in a few years, which can be called the NBA Whampoa Military Academy.

So, thinking of this glorious history of the Hornets, Li Liang is very worried about his younger brother Anthony Davis.

I don't know how long he can stay in New Orleans and whether he can break the embarrassing situation of the Hornets who have no jersey to retire.

This season, after the Hornets got the top pick, their fate was not much better than before.

The reason is the injury.

In addition to Anthony Davis, their main shooting guard Eric Gordon was also on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Two generals, one inside and one outside, were injured, and the strength of the wasps was not strong, who could withstand this record.

But after the game started, the Hornets played well, and the offense and defense were quite orderly.

The Hornets have Robin Lopez on the inside, and they have adopted a one-on-one defensive strategy against Dwight Howard.

Li Liang fed Howard the ball on the outside at the beginning and hit Lopez twice in a row.

As a result, one hook hit, and the other was served by Lopez's big hat!

Turning his head, the Wasp's counterattack pushed well.

Now the whole league knows that you don't have to fight the Lakers, you have to fight a quick counterattack.

Wazquez, the Hornets' guard, continued to use his individual ability, throwing and hitting mid-range jumpers to help the Hornets take the lead temporarily.

Then Ci Shiping accepted Shi's pass, slipped the baseline and wanted to force a layup.

Robin Lopez stood under the basket, didn't jump, and pressed Ci Shiping's layup down as soon as he reached out.

Ci Shiping arched for a long time but did not arch Lopez, and he lost weight in the summer, which led to a decline in his ability to resist hard inside.

After Lopez took the ball down, a somewhat annoyed Ci Shiping desperately stole from behind.

The two got entangled, and finally the referee blew Ci Shiping's foul.

Ci Shiping looked very annoyed, he lost weight because he felt that the Lakers already had Howard and Gasol on the inside, and he had to be more flexible.

I didn't expect that there was no flexibility, but it couldn't carry people.

Then, Hornets Wazquez easily burst inside, and Nash's defense was too easy to get past him.

Li Liang had to shrink to help, and Wazquez split the ball to Ryan Anderson.

Anderson received the ball and made a slight adjustment and made a jumper from inside the three-point line.

The ball hollows into the net and the shot is quite smooth.

The Hornets opened the game to an 8-2 run against the Lakers, and Mike Brown sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, knowing that the players would adjust.

Next, it's Kobe Bryant's performance......

Kobe Bryant dribbled across the half court by himself, and with the help of a cover from Li Liang, he directly pulled out the jump shot at the left corner!

"Bang!" If you don't enter, you will be iron.

In the counterattack of the Hornets, Li Liang fought to catch up, directly clinging to Vazquez, and then Ci Shiping came up to attack, and the two broke the ball.

Li Liang took the ball and passed it to Kobe, but after Kobe received the ball, there was no one in front of him, and he didn't run back to defend.

Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, shoot in an open position!

"Bang!" Not in yet! Another iron!

Li Liang wanted to pin a kitchen knife to his waist, so he threw it directly at Kobe.

You just wasted the opportunity that Lao Tzu created for you?

Kobe Bryant must be false to say that there is no pressure in his heart, after all, the milestone of 30,000 points is ahead.

What is the concept of 30,000 points, and the only people who can do it in NBA history are Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, Chamberlain, and Malone.

In the NBA for more than 60 years, many superstars have shined, but only four have achieved 30,000 career points.

It's a comprehensive test that requires not only scoring ability, but also long endurance and long-term stability.

Not even great players like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Duncan and others can do that.

Kobe Bryant is only 15 points away from this great accolade, and you think he can not be a little nervous.

"What do you throw blindly, the game has just begun, your physical strength is so good, you don't know how to rush? If you don't rush now, when will you rush and rush again in the fourth quarter? Can you rush up? You still don't defend ......."

Li Liangke doesn't care whether he has 30,000 points or 30,000 points, and catching Kobe Bryant is a criticism.

As the boss of the team, Kobe Bryant is indeed more willful when he plays, and of course he is also capable.

Someone came out to remind him that it was good to take care of him.

The Lakers failed to seize two offensive opportunities, Anderson seized the opportunity on the baseline and shot directly after receiving the ball.

Anderson's mid-to-long-range shooting is really accurate.

Kobe Bryant said to Li Liang when he sent the bottom ball: "Guard against your people, don't keep losing!" ”

Yo, Kobe Bryant still holds a grudge and seizes the opportunity to criticize Li Liang for not defending well.

But Li Liang didn't have a problem, he really didn't follow Anderson closely enough.

He hasn't gotten past his last game against the Rockets, and Anderson has a completely different style of play from the Rockets.

He is purely a space-open projection power forward, which is similar to Li Liang's style of play on the offensive end.

However, he is more proficient in shooting, and can shoot from almost any angle and distance, especially some long two-point shots.

But one of the benefits of playing against Anderson is that he doesn't have to worry about pressing defense, and Li Liang can hold the ball at the top of the arc on the offensive end.

Howard had a chance on the inside, Li Liang hung the ball to Howard, Howard directly turned around and received the ball, and split the dunk with one hand with his left hand!

Lopez Jr. was caught off guard by Howard.

But then, Lopez cooperated with Wazquez to block and make a layup.

The Lakers' defense tonight was a little loose, no way, the senior team, and it was the second game of a back-to-back.

They didn't train for two days in a row, and the last game against the Rockets was very intense, and the physical exertion was relatively large, and the defense was inevitably affected.

Their immediate priority is to get their form back on the offensive end.

After Gasol's injury, Li Liang not only had a heavier task on the defensive end, but also more tasks on the offensive end.

I used to play as a substitute, but I only occasionally organized with the ball, and if I was in good shape, I would organize more, and if I was not good, I would squat in the bottom corner.

As soon as Gasol was injured, Li Liang basically had to come out to block and cover Kobe and Nash every time he attacked, and respond after receiving the ball.

It was a big test of his passing consistency, and he made two mistakes in the first half.

Li Liang thought that after going back, he would do the task of direct passing and hanging passing.

In the first half, the Hornets kept pressing the Lakers.

Anderson has a good outside touch, and Li Liang can still enter even if he seals his face.

The Hornets held the lead at 47:46 in the first half, with a one-point advantage.

Li Liang had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and a rare 3 turnovers.

The assist-to-turnover ratio is 1, which is better than Kobe.

In the second half, the situation changed dramatically.

At halftime, Li Liang took a hair dryer and blew everyone in the team.

Because the whole first half of the whole team defense was walking, you take a walk, you walk, and the offensive end plays well.

As a result, the offensive end played in a disorderly and chaotic manner, especially a few substitutes, who couldn't seize all kinds of opportunities after they came on the court.

Otherwise, my Gan Liliang's assist-to-turnover ratio will only be 1? Anyway, there's a 2.

Everyone, including Mike Brown, thinks what Li Liang said makes sense.

In the second half, we must seriously improve and strengthen the attack.

So, at the beginning of the third quarter, Li Liang first hit a three-point shot at 45 degrees on the left side.

Lead by example and overtake the score.

Then, Kobe Bryant took the lead in understanding Li Liang's spirit and directly made a violent dunk on the inside.

Turning around and defending against the Hornets' offense, Kobe Bryant held the ball to kill the basket again, this time after slipping the bottom line, and reflexively dunked with one hand!

This is a common trick used by Kobe Bryant when he was young, others thought he was going to pass the bottom line, but it turned out to be a dunk.

Li Liang is more engaged on the defensive end, since the old guys don't have enough physical strength, then I'll be young.

Vazquez played a lively first half and was key to the Hornets' dominance.

After the midfield adjustment, as long as Wazquez blocks and dismantles, Li Liang must change defenses.

He's going to protect Nash.

After all, Li Liang's outside defense ability is stronger than that of the inside, and he covers Wazquez one-on-one, which directly makes him unable to look at the basket.

Two consecutive successful defenses.

Nash, on the other hand, contributed offensively after the pressure was eased defensively.

First pass to Howard, empty dunk!

Then he assisted Li Liang and hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc!

He also made a jump shot himself.

The Lakers unleashed a 13-0 attack wave to turn the situation around and stop the Hornets.

The Lakers' momentum came out, and the Hornets were a little confused.

I played well in the first half, you come and go, and the courtesies are still exchanged.

Why did you tear your face and attack me in the second half?

The Hornets didn't score for a full five minutes in the third quarter and finally broke the scoring drought with free throws.

The momentum on the Lakers' side has fully risen.

Not only Kobe, Howard, and Nash, but Morris and Dujon on the bench also began to shoot three-pointers.

Now the wasp is going to be cold.

Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range shot midway through the third quarter to score his 16th point of the game.

It was a landmark goal.

Scoring this goal means that Kobe Bryant has scored 30,000 points in his career!

It was the 1,109th regular season game of his career.

Sixteen years ago, he was drafted by the Hornets and traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Sixteen years, more than 1,000 games, he has achieved a legend, an achievement that only a few people in history can achieve.

And it all looked peaceful, there was not much cheering, no celebration, no applause.

Because this is New Orleans, not Los Angeles.

Kobe's expression was also calm, just like he usually scored two points, there was no difference.

Until the end of the game, the Lakers played better and better, turning the game into garbage time.

The audience knew that the victory was divided, there was no suspense, Kobe Bryant was substituted, and the fans began to applaud warmly.

Many young fans wore the No. 24 Kobe Bryant jersey and held a sign with 30,000 points written on it to witness this ordinary and great moment.

Kobe Bryant hugged his teammates and coaches off the court one by one, and he was still very calm.

Sixteen years, more than 1,000 games, with a flick of a finger, turned into 30,000 achievements.

Li Liang stepped forward and hugged Kobe, and he was about to replace Kobe Bryant.

Bryant said, "Why do you want to play again?" The game is over, and you threaten the coach again? ”

Li Liang said: "I didn't!" I just want to get to 30,000 points earlier than you. ”

Li Liang said, grinning, and then the garbage king appeared again.
