?? The annual Christmas, and the NBA feast for Christmas.

There are five Christmas games this year, with the Bulls vs. Nets, Thunder vs. Knicks, Heat vs. Lakers, Rockets vs. Spurs, and Clippers vs. Warriors.

Because the schedule is scheduled before the start of the season, the games that are interesting when arranging the schedule may be boring on Christmas.

For example, the Lakers vs. the Heat, the opponent of the finals last season, no matter how you look at it, the road is narrow, and the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road.

Who knows that the Heat is still the same Heat, and the Lakers are no longer the Lakers.

It is estimated that even if the Heat wants revenge, they won't feel like it's fun to win.

There is also the Bulls vs. Nets, and if Rose is not injured, it will also be a game to watch.

As a result, Rose was re-injured and reimbursed, and the Bulls entered a rebuilding cycle.

Although the Nets are known as the Big Five, their record is not outstanding.

Injuries, run-ins and an ageing squad are plaguing them.

The imaginary highlights of this set of duels are gone.

The Texas Civil War between the Rockets and the Spurs did have some popularity.

But this popularity may be mainly concentrated in China, after all, the Rockets Spurs have enough fans.

And in the United States, what is there to see about the civil war in a rural place like Texas?

In stark contrast, of course, the Knicks, big cities, no matter how bad the team's record is, when it comes to the Christmas game, the Knicks will never be absent.

On the whole, it is the game between the Clippers and the Warriors that is the most interesting.

A big battle between the two sides at the start of the season was exciting, and by Christmas, there were a lot of changes for both teams, and this game was destined to be intense.

But Li Liang didn't care much about this game, he was Chinese and really didn't have any feelings for Christmas.

For him, the only good thing about Christmas in the United States is that it will be more lively, and then find a chance to get together with friends.

Bai Xiaoting and Wei Dazhi have been moving out of Li Liang's house for a week.

On the night of Christmas Eve, both of them returned here, and the four of them gathered around to eat hot pot!

Americans eat turkey, gingerbread, salmon, Christmas pudding, and so on Christmas Eve.

Li Liang is biased, he wants to eat hot pot!

There is no snow at Christmas in Los Angeles, and the temperature is not too low.

But the four of them sat around eating hot pot, and it felt great.

Li Liang's appetite is very amazing, and Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting eat very little.

Although Wei Dazhi eats a lot, it can't be compared with Li Liang.

He alone ate almost two-thirds of the ingredients, and the remaining one-third, the other three were enough.

Li Liang's family also recently hired a Chinese chef from the Ganjia restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, which was opened by an elder of Li Liang's own family, and specializes in Huaiyang and Sichuan cuisine.

Li Liang was eating, and the chef was busy handling the hot pot ingredients.

Li Liang was happy when he ate, his stomach was round, and he was leaving.

The Christmas game takes place in Oakland, the home of the Warriors.

Li Liang needed to rush over overnight.

Wei Dazhi drove to Los Angeles Airport with Li Liang, and the time was in time.

But after Li Liang arrived at the airport, he felt that something was wrong.

Stomach aches!

Li Liang's gastrointestinal function has always been very good, because training in the system requires a lot of energy, so he has been eating a lot.

And no matter how much he ate, he had no problems with digestion.

As a result, I ate hot pot tonight, I don't know if the ingredients are not clean enough, or the red oil is too irritating, Li Liang felt a churning in his stomach.

"It's over, we have to play tomorrow, I won't have diarrhea, right?"

It was the first time Li Liang had encountered such a situation.

Wei Dazhi said: "You eat too fast!" If you stuff some meat into your mouth before it's cooked, and no one grabs it from you, why are you in a hurry? What should I do now, I have to play tomorrow, no problem, right? “

"No problem, no problem, I'll go to the toilet first......"

Li Liang went to the toilet first, which was convenient and his symptoms were alleviated.

As a result, after arriving at the hotel in Auckland by plane, the situation did not improve.

Li Liang didn't sleep well all night, he kept going to the toilet, and the medicine didn't work.

This is a big problem, and both Rivers and Mike Brown have suggested that Li Liang should miss this game.

Anyway, being absent because of diarrhea is nothing new in the league.

Although it seems to be a Christmas game, it is just a regular season game in the end.

But Li Liang disagreed, he didn't want to miss a game because of diarrhea.

Li Liang's first season with the Lakers was full and he didn't miss a game.

Because of the existence of protective gear, Li Liang's idea is that the game that can be played must be played, and he will play with all his might.

Moreover, there are a lot of Chinese fans in Auckland, and last season Li Liang came to play, and there were many local Chinese fans who supported him and came to the Oracle Arena to watch the game for him.

Tonight's Christmas game, there must be many Chinese fans who bought tickets in advance to watch the game at Oracle, how could he not play because of diarrhea?

"I'm just pulling at Oracle Arena, I'm going to play this game!"

Li Liang's words were released, and Rivers had no choice but to agree to Li Liang's appearance.

Because of Christmas, the game was scheduled for the afternoon, and fans could go home and reunite with their families after the game.

Li Liang took some medicine and felt much better.

In addition, when the game is approaching, the body and mind will be tense, and the symptoms of stomach discomfort will be relieved a lot.

However, because of dehydration, Li Liang still feels a little weak all over his body, and his performance may not be particularly good tonight.

But even if he doesn't have the strength on his body, as long as Li Liang stands on the field, he can still contribute to the team.

The Warriors players didn't know that Li Liang had an upset stomach, and his teammates of the Clippers noticed that Li Liang seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but since he could play, he would definitely be fine.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the game officially started, Li Liang felt much better.

But as soon as he arrived on the court, it was still a game, and for the first time he was scrambling for rebounds under the basket, Li Liang did not jam David Lee, allowing David Lee to grab the rebound in the front court and score two points.

The first goal of the game.

Subsequently, Li Liang missed a three-point shot outside the three-point line, the Warriors pushed a counterattack, and Curry used cover in the counterattack to hit a three-point shot directly!

In this game, the Warriors played with extremely strong morale and fighting spirit.

Losing to the Clippers at the beginning of the season, from Curry to Thompson to Green, they all held their breath.

Now the Clippers are the strongest in the league, and if they want to prove their strength, they must be able to pull the strongest off the horse!

The first person to realize that something was wrong with Li Liang was Paul, who found that Li Liang did not have the passion he used to have on the defensive end.

Li Liang will definitely yell at the whole court when he is defending.

And tonight Li Liang seemed very quiet, he just concentrated on doing his own thing, and did not remind his teammates of their defensive positions.

This is very abnormal, even Paul feels that when he is defending, he feels unsteady without Li Liang roaring behind.

The game was extremely intense and it was a scorching game from the first quarter.

The Warriors are currently sixth in the West, but their fighting power should not be underestimated, especially at home.

Curry is currently the league's top three-point shooter after Li Liang, and apart from Curry, Thompson is also a 3-and-D player with this terrible potential.

With the addition of Iguodala and Barnes, the Warriors' perimeter is full of energy.

The Clippers are more balanced inside and out, and the combination is complete, with strong forward inertia.

It's just that Li Liang's unexpected performance was not good, causing the Clippers to be pressed and beaten all the time.

Rivers also knew that Li Liang had a physical problem today, so he intended to reduce Li Liang's playing time and let Odom play more.

Odom was in good form tonight and had a good performance on the pitch.

When Li Liang's role could not be replaced after all, the Clippers fell behind all the way from the first quarter to the fourth quarter, and the difference was always around 6 points.

Anyway, it's two three-point differences.

But Li Liang just couldn't hit three points in a row.

He shot 3-of-8 from three-point range tonight, which would be okay for a player to shoot from the field, but for a shooter like him, 5-of-8 shooting is reasonable.

The inability to shoot three-point is only one aspect, the bigger problem comes from defense, because of weak legs, Li Liang's defensive quality has declined.

David Lee was noticeably more comfortable on the inside.

With more than five minutes left before the end of the game, the Clippers still trailed the Warriors by six points at 84:90.

Rivers called a timeout while Li Liang was sitting on the sidelines to rest.

Although he sweated a lot, Li Liang didn't dare to drink too much water, for fear of stomach discomfort.

Rivers asked Li Liang if he could appear next.

Li Liang said: "Yes, and I will complete my task." ”

A game gritted his teeth, and he had to endure the last five minutes.

Not only to carry it, but also to try to win the game!

So, Li Liang came on the court, and Rivers arranged a tactic for him to catch the ball and go to the basket under the empty cut.

This tactic is rarely used by Li Liang, and it is used at this time to play a surprising and winning role.

As a result, the tactics really worked, Li Liang used the fake cover of Griffin and Jordan Jr., suddenly ran back into the inside, and after receiving Paul's pass, he made a layup directly!

This ball Bogut rushed over to interfere, knocked Li Liang to the ground, fouled, and had to be punished!

However, Li Liang did not stand up immediately, he fell to the ground holding his knees, and the expression on his face was a little painful.

The team doctor of the Clippers immediately stepped forward to check on Li Liang's condition and asked Li Liang.

Li Liang just said that his knee hurt and needed to go back to the locker room to check it.

Slow-motion replays at the scene show that when Bogut came up to defend Li Liang, he collided with Li Liang, and Li Liang's knee collided with Bogut's body, but I don't know what the specific situation is.

Rivers, Mike Brown, Ballmer on the sidelines, and Clippers fans all hung in the air.

If Li Liang is injured, it will be a huge loss for the Clippers.

Li Liang got up first, stood on the free throw line, and hit a free throw to score 1 point.

Then, with the help of the team doctor and Butler, he left the court from the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room.

The game on the pitch continued, with Odom coming in for Li Liang.

After the absence of Li Liang, the Clippers did not give up, especially Odom, who seized the opportunity to show himself.

Thompson missed a three-point shot from the outside, Odom grabbed the rebound, handed the ball to Paul, and then played a fast break, and after receiving the ball, he dodged the defense with a beautiful dribble behind his back, and made a left-handed layup!

The left-handed magician's power is still there!

The difference is only 1 point.

At this point, Curry flashed his razor-sharp dagger.

After half time, with the help of Bogut's single block cover, he shot directly outside the three-point line!

Oracle Arena was detonated, and Curry's three-point shot pierced the heart like a sword!

With a 4-point gap and 3 minutes, the Clippers still need to fight to catch up.

The two sides played until 95:100, with the last minute left until the end of the game.

The Clippers were still trailing by five points, and Rivers used up his last long timeout.

Time is running out and they have to grab the three points.

But their best three-pointer was injured, and the pressure was all on Paul.

Just then, there was a commotion in the Oracle Arena, and a figure emerged from the players' tunnel.

He ran into the court and over to the Clippers bench.

It's Li Liang!

This was the home court of the Warriors, but there was also warm applause at the scene!

The Clippers players and coaches all looked at Li Liang, and Mike Brown stepped forward with some excitement and asked, "Bruce, are you okay?" ”

Li Liang said: "It's okay, I'm back, give me the ball." ”

Rivers nodded, he knew, there was something to rely on.

And Li Liang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, it's really comfortable to pull.
