?? On Nov. 4, the Clippers will begin Game 4 of their regular season against the Houston Rockets at home.

For Chinese fans, it is another must-see match.

Needless to say, wherever Li Liang goes, Chinese fans will naturally follow.

There's no way, now the NBA is just a lone seedling, and he is still a powerful and idol faction, and his popularity is not good.

And the Rockets, as Yao Ming's former home team, are the youth of many older fans.

Even if Yao Ming retires, he is used to watching the Rockets' games, and he will not easily like other teams.

In short, this game has attracted much attention in both China and the United States, and pre-match predictions and saliva are indispensable.

The Rockets went through reinforcements in the summer, remediating the acquisition of Al Jefferson and Josh Smith after failing to seduce Howard.

After the start of the new season, the Rockets played well, winning three in a row.

The new signings Jefferson and Smith just made up for the Rockets' stubborn problems at the center and power forward positions.

Jefferson provided offensive ability in the low post and enriched the team's offensive system.

And Josh Smith's athleticism has improved the Rockets' long-standing problem of power forwards being either short or slow, or short and slow.

In the first three games, the two played very well and helped the team win.

And the core player of the Rockets is, of course, James Harden, and in his second season with the Rockets, Harden has become stronger again.

However, it is reported that after arriving in Los Angeles yesterday, Harden had a good time in the colorful nightclubs of Los Angeles.

According to photos taken at the scene, Harden was wearing a cowboy hat and holding a dollar in cash, surrounded by several women with huge hips......

Young people, fun-loving, very normal.

Like the young players of the Los Angeles Clippers, they also love to play, except for a few unsociable outliers, such as Li Liang, who like to chant scriptures.

It's just that Harden's hobby is really ...... Larger than life.

This can also be seen from Harden's beard, and the history of the NBA is not only the history of basketball technology, but also the history of sports fashion.

Shoes, jerseys, and even basketball itself are changing with the times.

And Harden's unique beard is becoming a landscape in the NBA.

Before Harden, the last famous player with a big beard was the KnicksWalt Fraser, the one who made Li Liangdian miserable in the system.

Fraser was a fashion guy himself, but at that time he was just a bushy beard, unlike Harden, who was about to grow into a broom.

When Li Liang was playing with Harden, he suspected that Harden had a beard in order to open the way when he broke through.

In the evening, the players from both sides arrived at the stadium normally, and it was another fun and wonderful night at the Stamp Center.

This year, the season tickets for the Clippers' home stadium have long been sold out, and the ticket prices for regular tickets are also rising.

Of course, the new owner, Ballmer, doesn't care how much money he can make from tickets, money is just a number to him anyway.

He enjoyed watching the game at home, and in the last game against the Warriors, Ballmer almost pumped with excitement.

This boss really likes to watch basketball.

Before the start of the game, the camera of the TV station swept to see that Li Liang walked to Ballmer's side during the warm-up, and the two were chatting.

The TV host didn't know what Li Liang and Ballmer were talking about, and thought that Li Liang might be giving Ballmer some advice.

With the Lakers winning the championship last season and Li Liang winning the FMVP, many stories about Li Liang in the Lakers have gradually been "revealed".

There's no way, Time Warner signed a long-term contract with the Lakers, and tasted the sweetness in the first year, but who knew that he would start eating Xiang in the second year.

In order to ensure the ratings of "Behind the Scenes of the Lakers", the program team has been hyping up last season's cold rice, and from time to time some information about Li Liang has been exposed.

For example, giving advice to the head coach in the locker room, teaching the whole team veterans as a rookie but no one dared to refute it, and people gave him the nickname "Rookie Old Immortal".

Then he also talked about the Clippers' trade this summer, the Clippers wanted to exchange for JJ Redick, but Li Liang refuted it in a word, and the Clippers obeyed their words and immediately vetoed the deal.

To be honest, Jordan never had such treatment.

At that time, Jordan was whoever he liked, the Bulls would trade whoever he wanted, and he wouldn't get you whomever he wanted.

Although it turns out that the Bulls management is right most of the time, it also made Jordan ridicule the management during his Hall of Fame induction speech.

It's enough to see how deep the grudge between Jordan and the Bulls management is.

Li Liang is different, he has a bad relationship with the Lakers management, and then left directly.

After leaving, greet the kneeling lick of the clipper!

It's that chic.

And for the Clippers, it's five million, and it doesn't cost money to lick anyway, so why not lick.

As a result, Li Liang's image of "ball bully" was gradually established in Los Angeles.

You see, the ball bully is now bypassing the head coach and management, and communicating directly with the boss, if any of you are not convinced, do not cooperate with the game, let the boss give you small shoes to wear.

Li Liang was indeed chatting with Ballmer, but he was not bored enough to make a small report in front of his boss.

Li Liang has always been to convince people with virtue, how can he do such a thing as making a small report.

"Steve, guess how many points I'll score today?"

"Oh, it's a little hard... 30 points? It's up to you, I can't guess. ”

"You can't even guess it, how did you earn $20 billion?"

"I didn't guess it anyway."

The two of them are talking nonsense without a match, and Li Liang has never had stage fright after mixing up a lot in the system, and he can talk nonsense in the face of anyone with money and power.

"Bruce, do you think the team's bench needs to be improved?" Ballmer took the initiative to ask Li Liang if he wanted to add to the bench.

After the first three games, although they all won, the performance of the substitutes was very average.

Come to think of it, except for Crawford and Barnes, several other substitutes are not good.

Bledsoe would have been a very good firepower off the bench, but in preseason, Bledsoe suffered an ankle injury and will miss for about a month.

And Bledsoe overlaps with Crawford in terms of function, both are small backcourts with average defensive ability, and when the two of them are on the court at the same time, the defensive pressure on the rest of the Clippers will be great.

Even if Li Liang is allowed to take it, he may not be able to move, and he is not all-powerful and invincible.

Li Liang thought for a while and said, "I don't think there's a problem, you have to believe in your players, you believe in them, and they will give you trust in return." ”

As a fan-type owner, Ballmer still can't help but have a kind of "I want to operate!" Seeing the dissatisfaction, I thought, "I'll make a deal."

Li Liang's words stabilized Ballmer's mood, nodded, and sat back on the bench, ready to watch the game with peace of mind.

The game is about to begin, and after the appearance ceremony and the national anthem ceremony, both sides will start on the pitch.

The Clippers' starters were unchanged as in the first three games, while the Rockets' starters were Al Jefferson, James Harden, Josh Smith, Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin.

The appearance of the Rockets last season was actually quite high, Parsons, Jeremy Lin needless to say, and the starting center Asik is also a handsome guy.

Although Harden has an exaggerated beard and is not black, he is also a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

As a result, Smith and Jefferson came this year, and their appearance plummeted, and they were about to be able to compete with the Thunder.

If ugliness can be made stronger, it's worth it.

Li Liang glanced at the Rockets' new signings, took out the ball blind dissolver, and gave Josh Smith an appraisal:

[The ball blindness index is 58%, a pretty boy who is not very good at what he should do well, and who should not do well, but can do well. 】

After reading this evaluation, Li Liang wondered if this ball blind discriminator was broken?

First, why is Josh Smith a pretty boy?

Second, how TM has 58 again!

It's broken, it must be broken.
