Chapter 114

On October 31st, many NBA teams began their openers.

In addition to the Trail Blazers hosting the Lakers, there are eight other games played on this day.

The 2012-2013 NBA season has officially kicked off.

There are a few interesting matches:

The New Orleans Hornets lost to the Old Foxes Spurs by a 95-99, four-point deficit at home.

Champion Anthony Davis made his career debut.

He scored 21 points and 7 rebounds with good statistics, but unfortunately there was an old champion on the opposite side of the Spurs, with 23 points, 11 boards, 3 assists and 3 blocks, helping the Spurs take away the victory.

Let's just say that Anthony Davis still has a long way to go, and the future is yours... Not necessarily.

The other game is when the Houston Rockets take on the Detroit Pistons on the road.

The attraction of this game is what James Harden, who was traded from the Thunder, will do with the Rockets.

He was sent to the Rockets by the Thunder on Oct. 27, a few days before the start of the new season.

For Harden, who played as a Super Sixth Man last season, such a trade is impossible to say without breaking his heart.

Originally, he was still looking forward to making a big splash with Westbrooks and Durant in the new season, and he participated in the Thunder's training camp and improved himself further in the summer.

As a result, when the rookie contract did not end and the next contract was not negotiated, the Thunder traded him.

In just a few days, he didn't even have time to get acquainted with the players and coaches of the Rockets, so he put on the red jersey and started the new season.

In the first game of the new season, he scored 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals in Detroit, leading the Rockets, the three-year lottery champion, to a victory.

After this game, Houston Rockets fans can rest easy that they have finally found their new leader.

In addition to these two games, there are also players in other games who have shown their talents.

In comparison, Li Liang's two performances are amazing enough, but they are not enough to overshadow others.

And it's only two, the season has just begun, and the sample size is too small.

Many rookie players start the season well, and by the middle of the season, with fatigue, injuries and team adjustments, there will be ups and downs in form.

This is also known as the rookie hitting the wall.

Therefore, while praising Bruce Li Yitong on the online media, there are also many calm voices who come out to pour cold water.

"The offensive means are too simple, and it is easy to be strangled."

"I can only shoot threes, what should I do if I don't feel good?"

"It feels like fouls are a problem, so you have to control your fouls."

"Other teams didn't target him, and when he's been studied, it's hard to say."

"The first two teams are not strong enough, let's play the strong team and see."

Anyway, no matter whether you play well or poorly, there are always enthusiastic supporters, there are those who stand by coldly, and there are those who are waiting to fall into the ground.

This is the norm in public opinion circles.

In this regard, Li Liang's mentality is very correct:

You scum who don't know anything, mortals who don't know the power of the system, are ready to come out and be beaten in the future!

In order to maintain this mentality, on November 1, when the whole team was on holiday, Li Liang still chose to train.

Several local media outlets in Los Angeles called and invited Li Liang to participate in local programs.

Li Liang refused again.

It's not that he's shy, he's mainly afraid that after he gets on the show, the system will give him a few blind tasks.

asked him to make some inappropriate remarks, although it was good to finish, but he still didn't want to destroy his elegant and easy-going image.

It's better to play well, and avoid troublesome things if you can.

Stuffy leveling is king.

On November 2, the third game of the new season, the same city derby, the Lakers played against the Clippers.

This is the highlight of the season, the battle of the national broadcast live.

Originally, all parties wanted to see the matchup between Steve Nash and Chris Paul, the old and new generations of super point guards.

Unfortunately, Nash suffered a knee injury and was out of action for two weeks, so he didn't have this opportunity.

Mike Brown and the coaching staff have decided after deliberation that it would be better to send Blake to start.

At the same time, management recalled Darius Morris, who had been delegated to the NBDL, to fill the guard void caused by Nash's absence.

In fact, after the last game, Li Liang was used to play, and Kobe Bryant played the lineup of point guards, which was quite good.

Because the Lakers use twin towers on the inside, there is a vacancy in the No. 3\\4 position.

The current Ci Shiping is too slow, and one person can't afford such a big loophole.

Kobe Bryant is old, and he has been playing for so many years, and he has always been a firefighter on the defensive end, not a jack-of-all-trades.

Li Liang has the potential to become an all-purpose glue, and Brown feels deep down that he seems to be a little dependent on this all-purpose glue.

But as a head coach, he doesn't have that kind of one-word authority with the Lakers.

There is no doubt that Bass Jr. does not like Li Liang.

After the first two games, Bass Jr. went to the players' locker room, and he and Li Liang ignored each other.

Buss Jr. would rather go to curry favor with Howard than give Lee a good look.

The key is that Li Liang doesn't give him a good face.

Anyway, it's also the boss's son, the heir of the future Lakers, and you're so awesome with a second-round show?

Xiao Bas also thought that if Li Liang was soft and took the initiative to show favor to himself, he would consider giving him a step.

How do you know that this guy is bullish and coaxing, and he can talk and laugh with others, including Kobe, but he just ignores Little Bass.

He played really well in the first two games, and Kupchak went so far as to say that without Bruce Lee, the first two would have been lost.

Coupled with Nash's injury, Jamison can't defend well, and it's impossible not to let him play.

This kid is not good, it is said that he "controlled" Mike Brown in the game, what he said Mike Brown listened to.

also dared to be serious with the referee, taught Kobe to play, and commanded Nash to defend.

Where did this strange man fall from?

Even if little Bass hates him again, as a basketball worker for many years, he still has the most basic professionalism, and with the advice of old Bass, he didn't move Li Liang.

Therefore, two people will never get along with each other, you play your ball, and I will fight for my rights.

On the evening of November 2, the game between the Lakers and the Clippers started on time.

The two teams share a common arena, and today they used the Lakers' logo floor.

Before the game, Bryant and Chris Paul shook hands, and the two talked and laughed.

They just teamed up to win a gold medal for Team USA at the Olympics.

They had a chance to join forces with the Lakers, but unfortunately fate played a role.

Because of basketball, they missed out, in one city and not on one team.

Li Liang is very disdainful of Kobe and Paul's pre-game chatter.

You're going to play a game, and you're still exchanging feelings?

Lao Tzu came to test Paul's ball blindness index.

Li Liang found an opportunity, called up the [Ball Blind Authenticator], and aimed at Paul:

[With a ball blind index of 5.8%, a small body with a big winning soul, if he is 5.8 inches taller, he will be the best player in the NBA.] He's just a little bit from the top, a little bit is what? It's about 5.8. Many things in this world are often just a little bit worse, and if it weren't for that 5.8%, he would be the wise man who came out of the prisoner's cave, Plato's 'ball blind king'! But because of this 5.8%, he continued to stay in the prisoner's cave, and he could feel that little bit of light, but he couldn't leave! Because he's 5.8 off! 】

Li Liang almost squirted out a mouthful of Gatorade, he really wanted to know, what is Paul's 5.8% difference?

Anyway, when the game between the two sides started, he really didn't think Paul was that 5.8% worse.

Li Liang sat on the sidelines to watch more games, a player is not smart when he plays on the court, he can see it in a few rounds.

Like Kobe, he is actually extremely smart when he plays, and his attention to detail is quite amazing.

It's just that he often makes choices that go against common sense, which is a typical act of knowing that he can't do it.

That's what makes Kobe Bryant so attractive as a superstar.

In contrast, Paul is the opposite, and his choice is very reasonable.

In the face of multiple choices, he will always make the optimal solution.

Li Liang suddenly thought, maybe this is the 5.8% that Paul lacks?

In many cases, the optimal solution does not necessarily lead to the optimal result.

Life often rewards indomitable courage more than the wisdom of precise calculation.

Li Liang sat on the bench and sat himself as a philosopher.

And for half of the first quarter, the Clippers always pressed the Lakers to play and maintain a lead of about 5 points.

Blake was really toyed with by Chris Paul.

Li Liang turned his head to look at Brown, Brown felt Li Liang's gaze, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry Bruce, I'll let you play later!" ”

Very good, congratulations on your answer.
