Lakers players have been in a state of anxiety all season.

It's only natural that they're not young challengers anymore, they're old boys who have been put together on the flyout and fighting for the title.

From the very beginning of the season, they were under a lot of pressure.

Because of such a combination of lineups, not winning the championship is a failure.

Even if they lose a game in the regular season, they will be subject to a lot of criticism and questioning.

So when it comes to the playoffs, they finally start to go to their destination, and the first two games of the first round actually went well, but they still feel that they didn't play well.

It's like for some fans, if your team doesn't win, it's like losing.

If you don't play well in one quarter, the season will be over.

If you don't play a good ball, a player is finished.

Even Kobe, a player who has experienced a lot of battles and experienced many twists and turns, is inevitably anxious.

Especially in the first two games, he played averagely, and with his character, he was naturally nitpicking about himself.

Their target is not the Rockets, it's the Spurs, the Thunder, it's the Heat.

Not to mention Howard, the huge psychological gap has not been fully adjusted until now.

On the offensive end, he has become the fourth choice, behind Kobe, Nash and Li Liang.

Even the substitute Gasol had more tactical singles chances than him.

In terms of personal honors, don't think about hard honors such as MVP and Best Defensive Player, the only thing you can get is to continue to win the rebounding king.

The only thing he thinks about now is the championship, the king of the low post, the number one in Los Angeles, stop.

Jersey sales have fallen behind Li Liang.

So, for the championship, Howard is particularly hungry.

Mike Brown will do whatever he asks him to do, let him shoot threes, and he will grit his teeth and throw it.

As for Nash, the wolfberries drank fragrantly in the regular season, and the number of shots in the first two games directly broke the regular season record.

At the age of 38, he held back a regular season and waited for the playoffs.

So, the whole team is in a very demanding state.

Especially in the second game, it was quite tortuous to win, so I feel that this strength can be won by a strong team?

The only person who doesn't have this kind of problem is Li Liang.

He has a fart mentality.

As for talking to Brown on the bench about the team's offense and improving, that's what he said.

With his mouth, can he stay idle on the bench?

Brown was really interested in it, and he felt that he needed to change.

He forgot that in the series, the side with the superior strength will always have to respond to all changes with the same and be dominated by me.

Never be clear about the advantage, feel that the advantage is not big enough, I want to change it.

As a result, he changed himself and collapsed.

This kind of death is not unheard of in the history of the NBA.

Li Liang doesn't want the Lakers to be such a team, since the preseason team was going to play Princeton, Li Liang knew that the so-called team basketball was a mistake for the Lakers.

If you want a superstar, you will be a superstar to the end.

If you want to change teams, you can't succeed without two or three seasons of running-in changes.

Even if Kobe Bryant turned on a triple-double mode in the second half of the season, in the playoffs, he is still the same Tieke.

Only if the stars are maximized can the Lakers have a championship hope.

Li Liang returned to his room after leaving the conference room, sighed softly, and thought to himself that Lao Tzu had really broken his heart for the team and had paid too much.

The Lakers only give themselves half a million, which is really cheap for them.

……

On the 25th, the Los Angeles Lakers changed into purple away jerseys and started the third game of the playoffs at the red Toyota Center.

Even in the playoffs, Rockets fans still don't give the home team much face and continue to be late.

However, tonight, the atmosphere at the home court of the Rockets was quite good, and all the fans in the stadium changed into red T-shirts.

The whole stadium is a sea of red.

In the red alert, the grand opening ceremony put a lot of pressure on the away players.

But the Lakers players are expressionless, what scenes have they not seen?

Li Liang is even more relaxed, the big scene that Lao Tzu has seen is beyond your imagination!

This is on the edge of a cliff for the Rockets.

If you lose the third game, the series is really over, because there has never been a team in history that can turn the tables from 0:3 down.

1:3, 0:2, are all desperate situations but there is still a glimmer of hope, 0:3 is really nothing.

So, the Rockets players were also nervous in this game.

Therefore, the opening of the first quarter is very important.

There was a hiccup before the game began, when a Rockets fan at the scene held out a large drawing board.

It was plastered with a picture of Kobe Bryant driving a tractor with the words "In the past, sports cars, now, tractors." ”

The drawing board was cut to the big screen by the TV camera, and the audience burst into laughter.

No way, the tractor endorsed by Kobe Bryant sells very well in Texas, and the advertising shop is very open.

Now the people of Texas know that Kobe Bryant endorses the tractor.

Even if you don't buy it, you will discuss it, which leads to Li Liang's father's American tractor distribution business doing well.

His father called him in the middle of the season and told him to come to San Antonio to sell tractors if he couldn't play in the NBA.

After Li Liang was later selected as an All-Star and signed Under Armour's endorsement contract, his father stopped mentioning this stubble for the time being.

Kobe Bryant has long been accustomed to this kind of ridicule.

He just smiled, shook his head, and returned his attention to the game.

And Houston fans quickly regretted it a little, why provoke Kobe Bryant with such a drawing board?

Don't you know that Kobe Bryant is a person who holds grudges and fights himself when he goes crazy?

At the beginning of the first quarter, Bryant hit a jumper.

This is not a good sign for the rocket.

In the first two games, Kobe Bryant opened with a closed play.

Then put it away and put it away, and it was iron, giving the rocket a chance.

If Kobe Bryant is not iron, he will play with a feeling at the beginning......

The consequences of this were quickly tasted by the rocket.

Kobe Bryant and Nash teamed up to fire in the first quarter, and Li Liang kept blocking and dismantling the two legendary guards.

The Rockets' outside line defense and dismantling are really not good, they can't keep up, they can't make up for it, and they are shot into a sieve by the mid-range of Kobe and Nash.

Bryant scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first quarter.

Nash scored 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first quarter.

Nash also delivered 4 assists to help the Lakers beat the Rockets 40-23 in the first quarter, leading by as many as 17 points at once!

This time the rocket is blinded, really blinded.

fell behind by 17 points in the first quarter, this pit is too big, how to climb out?

The Rockets wanted to take advantage of the momentum of their home court to rush forward and try to get one back.

Who knows, Kobe and Nash are in excellent shape, and it has nothing to do with me what defensive arrangements you make for the Rockets.

I'm just a pick-and-roll and a jumper, I can get in, what can you do with me?

Nash was injured at the beginning of the season, and after taking the "bruise injury medicine under the flyover" given by Li Liang, his physical condition recovered and maintained very well.

He didn't miss a single game in the rest of the game.

And this guy was playing dead throughout the regular season, and he didn't show his true face until the playoffs.

When Nash doesn't need to carry too much of a playmaking task on him, his offense is really terrifying.

After all, he is the man who once scored 48 points in a single game in the playoffs.

Moreover, Nash relies on shooting to score, and his shooting method mainly relies on the power of the big arm and small arm, and the requirements for the legs are not high.

Even if he is old and old, his shooting form is still outstanding.

The momentum of the Rockets was annihilated all at once, and the Lakers had no intention of letting the Rockets go.

It's a playoff game.

At the start of the second quarter, after the transition, Koby Nash reappeared.

Although the defense of the two is the second old man of death, the offensive feeling is really up today.

Kobe Bryant hit back-to-back shots in the low post, forcing the Rockets to start packing.

But with a bag of clips, Nash caught the ball in the corner and hit two three-pointers in a row!

The two elders of Xuan Ming went crazy this time, and they made Houston fans desperate.

Why are you so crazy, because Li Liang has instructed you to be the best version of yourself!

Li Liang's task is very simple, that is, to defend Harden seriously.

Li Liang felt that he was very witty, but fortunately reminded the big guys in the team to be themselves and play more singles.

If there is any team play, Li Liang will definitely be sent to deal with it again, to this and that.

As a single-core team, Harden's ability is not up to the level of Olajuwon and Duncan, and if he sends someone to star, the Rocket's offense will be half useless.

It's up to Jeremy Lin, Parsons, and Delfino to create opportunities on their own.

How could this possibly beat the Lakers, who were a mess of hammers, 71:50 at halftime, leading by 21 points.

In the second half, the Lakers did not relax at all, after all, they were reversed by the Celtics by 23 points.

This memory was too deep and too painful for Kobe.

So Kobe Bryant was at full speed in the third quarter, and all kinds of fancy singles Beverley.

After finding his senses, Beverley couldn't limit Kobe Bryant at all.

His little bit of stature and biting defense are useless against Kobe.

Because Kobe Bryant has his own rhythm when playing, it is difficult for defenders to break Kobe's rhythm by biting.

This is where Kobe Bryant and Harden are different.

In the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant scored another 15 points.

In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 35 points, sweeping away the depression of the first two games.

Of course, even if the Lakers play so well and rub the Lakers to the ground, the difference between the two sides is still far from 58 points.

By the fourth quarter, the margin had reached 30 points, and the Rockets began to throw three points in despair.

At this time, the more you throw three points, the difference will only get bigger.

Li Liang seized the opportunity and scored 10 points in a row.

For the ball to win, the stats can't be too ugly.

In the end, at 121:93, the Lakers took a large lead from the beginning of the first quarter and led until the end of the game.

The Rockets didn't even have a chance to struggle, and like a mosquito, they were shot to death by the mighty Lakers.
