Chapter 112: The Buried Genius

For any NBA player, self-doubt and affirmation are forever in cycle.

Because on the basketball court, victory and defeat always alternate.

It's not even like a football stadium, there's a draw.

Except for victory and defeat, black and white, there is almost no room for gray.

Of course, some people can evolve a strong psychological defense line of "I didn't lose if the team lost".

But Kobe Bryant was not among them.

A Virgo like him will even have the paranoid idea that "the team won, I didn't win".

So while fighting his opponents, he has also been fighting with himself.

Many superstars in the NBA have this kind of trouble, and they have been fighting with their hearts.

It's a lot more intense than people who work in ordinary jobs, because the competition is the job of the players.

Different people have different ways of coping to calm the troubles caused by this inner strife.

Olajuwon and Jabbar chose religion.

Kevin Johnson and Dave Bean chose politics.

There are also Larry Bird and Thomas who continue to basketball and continue to fight people.

And Barkley, who chose to eat and talk nonsense to vent.

Kobe Bryant has also reached the age of choice, he has been fighting almost all of his basketball career, and now of course he has to keep fighting.

He chooses to take the initiative to change, he wants to transform, he wants to make himself stronger.

This is the most difficult road, struggling with time, struggling with the past, and going against the sky.

As Kobe's teammate, Li Liang can see Kobe's transformation, starting from the preseason.

However, Li Liang could not understand the kind of struggle in Kobe's heart.

And he won't have this kind of struggle either.

I am the son of the system, the light of the 55th order, and I am still struggling in my heart?

This is an insult to the system!

It doesn't matter if you can't beat you on the field, it's because Lao Tzu didn't add points to his home.

When I get home and complete the mission, I'll beat you up when I raise the point.

So people like him can't understand Kobe's hard work.

However, the arena never tolerates you because of your hard work, and if you don't play well, it's not good.

Kobe Bryant, what is your assist-to-turnover ratio?

0.5 Ah!

What a concept it is.

Anyone who has more than 4 assists and turnovers is a great point guard in history.

Over 3, that's the league's best point guard.

More than 2, so-so, if the number of assists is large, it can be forgiven according to the style of play.

Just over 1 ...... Either it's a non-defender with two or three assists, or you're just a little bit overturned.

0.5?

It's either poor assists, turnovers, or both.

Li Liang was heartbroken, so before the start of the fourth quarter, he reminded Kobe Bryant to play the game in a way that he could win.

In the past, no one in the Lakers dared to "teach" Kobe Bryant to play like this.

From today, there is.

In short, No. 28 Bruce Lee is constantly poking at the perception of Lakers players and coaches.

What kind of strange man is he? Is your mouth made of iron?

What surprised the coaching staff and bench players even more was that after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant really changed his style of play!

He no longer organizes attacks, no longer keeps passing, but starts to attack actively.

In the first three quarters, Kobe Bryant made a total of 10 shots and hit 5 balls, and the shooting rate was actually quite high.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant continued to eat Matthews one-on-one in the offense!

Li Liang personally came to cover for Kobe!

Compared to Gasol's block, Li Liang's block is not as thick, but it is more aggressive.

In fact, Kobe Bryant is not a player who likes to play pick-and-roll, and his skills are good enough for him to deal with any one-on-one defender.

But he didn't refuse Li Liang's cover, which was obviously of high quality and could make it easier for him to play.

Kobe Bryant hit 4 mid-range shots in a row on the offensive end, and the entire Rose Garden Arena was silent for a while.

This gives a glimpse of Kobe Bryant in '08-10, the horned Grim Reaper who killed one opponent after another with a terrifying mid-range.

Stotts had to take a timeout, and the Trail Blazers were blinded all at once.

Kobe Buddha tied up for three quarters, combing all kinds of attacks, and didn't come up with a clue for a long time.

When you take out the scissors, click and cut, and cut them directly for you.

On the bench, Bryant didn't sit down, he stood on his knees and patted Li Liang on the shoulder.

This represents Kobe's recognition of Li Liang, of course he will not say, "You are right, Lao Tzu should have listened to you earlier." ”

Absolutely will not say, even if you are killed.

But he knew that what Li Liang said was right, and he should stand up and reap the game.

However, in his heart, Kobe Bryant is entangled again, should he continue to take the organizational route in the next game?

After returning to the court after the timeout, Bryant's back-to-back goals stretched the margin to 10 points.

With more than eight minutes to go, the margin was not stable.

Sure enough, as soon as the timeout returned, Lillard assisted on Matthews to make a three-pointer.

In today's more and more three-point shots, a 10-point difference can be erased in three rounds.

And then, Kobe Bryant lived up to expectations, and Bang Bang hit two irons in a row, giving the Trail Blazers a chance to fight back.

Lillard held the ball and rushed to the basket, and he forced a layup against Li Liang, causing Li Liang's foul.

After the referee's whistle, Lillard took a heavy breath, and he was tossed by Li Liang enough in the second half.

He scored 1 point in the third quarter, and before the fourth quarter opened, he had to rely on free throws again.

Li Liang drove a hair dryer and chatted with the referee on the sidelines.

The referee for tonight's enforcement is Bill Kennedy, a black referee.

Li Liang also paid the price for defending Lillard, and all three of his fouls were with Lillard.

With Lillard hitting both free throws, the margin was reduced to five points.

Lillard's score came to 15 points, five points short of 20.

In the final 6-plus minutes of decisive battle, the two sides raised to the highest intensity.

Because it was a game at the beginning of the season, as soon as the intensity of the two sides went up, the mistakes began to increase.

The players are not at their best.

fell into a chaotic battle on the field for a while, and Li Liang, this kid, is a chaotic little expert.

In an offensive scramble, Li Liang grabbed the ball from the encirclement of two Trail Blazers players.

With his back to the basket, a nice ground-hitting pass is tucked under the basket.

Howard takes the ball and dunks!

Li Liang has another assist.

It's a trick he learned from John Johnson!

Passing the ball from behind without looking at the man.

The first time it was used in the arena, it was successful, and Li Liang was a little excited.

As a result, he was excited and chased by Lillard, and he directly counterattacked quickly and made a layup.

After conceding the ball, Li Liang was very annoyed, and the NBA game was really careless.

Especially in the Lakers, everyone else's defense is an old man, and no one chases after him when he loses his position.

Mom, Lillard has 17 points and can't let him score any more points.

After two timeouts and substitutions, the two sides entered the crucial moment of the final two minutes.

The Lakers are 109-105, still leading the Trail Blazers by 4 points.

4 points, a score located at the safety line.

The Lakers' ball possession, they can play an offense safely, and if they do, this game is nine out of ten.

Dwight Howard asks for the ball in the low post.

He wanted to hit this crucial ball.

Howard had a great first half.

In the second half, Howard's presence on the offensive end decreased as the tempo picked up while allowing Bryant to dominate the offense.

watched Kobe Bryant make a series of mistakes in the third quarter, and the organization did not make a name for himself, and it was not until the fourth quarter that he fired again and again to help the team take the lead.

Of course, Howard also wanted to prove himself, saying that he wanted to be the king of the low position.

Bryant, who was in possession of the ball, passed the ball to Howard, who played Aldridge one-on-one.

Li Liang stood outside the three-point line in the front, which was not his favorite position.

However, this position is the most conducive to retreating, and he wants to prevent the Trail Blazers from playing a quick counterattack.

The Trail Blazers chose to wrap Howard, and Matthews stepped forward to close the circle.

Howard was a little slow to get the ball out and he hastily passed it.

I wanted to pass it to Gasol, but I was cut off by Hickson!

Two big men, too close to each other.

Hickson immediately threw the ball to Lillard, and the Trail Blazers set off a fast break!

It could be a quick comeback that changed the course of the game.

Li Liang stood at the far end and ran towards his own basket.

The Trail Blazers have a three-line fast attack, with Matthews and Batum on the flanks, and Lillard on the middle.

And Li Liang is the only one in the Lakers basket!

Three to one, this immortal can't be prevented when he comes!

But Li Liang was unusually calm, and he stood outside the reasonable collision zone.

Matthews has Kobe Bryant chasing after him.

Batum rushed too far ahead.

If Lillard passes the ball, Li Liang can intercept it.

And Lillard came in from the middle.

He must also be hesitating and judging.

There is only 0.1 seconds of thinking time.

Li Liang stood in an excellent position, which made Lillard hesitate.

He finally chose to force a layup himself!

Li Liang stopped in front of him, the two collided, and then Li Liang fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, a very crucial decision!

Who committed the foul?

It was referee Kennedy who blew the whistle.

He hesitated slightly, and then made a gesture of hitting someone with the ball!

Lillard fouls!

Lakers ball possession!

Li Liang jumped up from the ground! Punch hard!

Successful foul making!

An extremely critical foul.

If Lillard had scored the ball, not only would the margin have narrowed to two points, but Lillard would have scored 19 points.

The game may be lost, and the mission may not be completed.

Lillard frowned, but he didn't dare to complain to the referee for fear of eating T.

Not everyone is like Li Liang, as a rookie, who dares to "reason" with the referee.

It was precisely because Li Liang and the referee had said a lot of reasons before, which led to this key decision, and the referee was slightly biased towards the Lakers.

Not to mention that it was a very beautiful foul making, standing outside the circle with no noticeable movement.

The fans of the Rose Garden, of course, quit and booed.

Someone shouted the slogan "Reference suck".

However, this does not change the referee's decision.

At the same time, rows of subtitles that harvested anger points began to pop up in front of Li Liang's eyes!

This is the first time that Li Liang has received the anger from the broad masses of the people, and the amount is very large!

If you get rich, you can buy a few props and save them when you go back.

You can also buy some value-added agents to add some difficult and important ability points.

This is a big gain.

If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, Li Liang even wanted to give the middle finger to the 20,000 spectators.

The penalty changed the game, and as Bryant fouled the basket on offense, hitting both free throws, the Lakers took the game into their hands.

At 113:108, the Lakers finally won the game.

Back-to-back, two wins in a row!

Li Liang scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

At the same time, he completed the [Counterattack Second Round Show 3C] task, got two runes, four fragments, and gained a lot of anger points.

This trip to Portland is really worth it!

After the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Mike Brown and Stotts shook hands, ran to Li Liang, patted his buttocks, grinned and bared his white teeth, and said, "Fuck pretty boy." ”

Li Liang said: "How about it, I said I can organize it, right?" ”

Brown asked, "How do you practice playmaking passing?" It's not easy. ”

Li Liang said: "Heh, I'm a buried genius. ”
