On April 2, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Dallas Mavericks.

Kobe Bryant is back in this game, and the Stamp fans have been waiting for a long time, and their ears are about to become calloused.

So the game is full.

The Mavericks are currently 35-38 and have little hope for the playoffs.

So the Lone Ranger didn't put up much resistance in Los Angeles.

In the first quarter, the two sides also played back and forth in line with the principle of friendship first and game second.

In the second quarter, the Lakers tore off the mask of friendship and blasted the Mavericks 35:19, suddenly widening the difference.

The game went into the Lakers rhythm.

Bryant, who had a two-week break, did not attack like crazy, but played very reasonably.

In comparison, the old driver Dirk did not play well in this game and felt very bad.

The Lakers did not have much suspense at home, 105-81, defeated the Mavericks and continued to consolidate the first place in the West.

Bryant had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to get another triple-double.

Nowitzki scored 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting, and no one on the Mavericks scored 15 points.

Li Liang's performance was mediocre, he just completed his tasks and work as usual.

His focus is on the tasks of the system.

On the night of April 3, Li Liang entered the system and carried out the task of [Locking Maddie] for the third time.

As a result, failed.

He used Prince's method to deal with Maddie, and as a result, Maddie had an outstanding hand and scored 41 points!

The Pistons won the game with the help of Li Liang's three-point shot, but unfortunately Li Liang's mission was not successful.

It looks like you're going to be useless against a superstar, if he feels like he's coming!

After that, Li Liang chose to spend anger in the personal training center to invite Maddie in 03 out and personally one-on-one with him.

Let Maddie teach herself how to prevent Maddie, Kobe Bryant is unreliable and doesn't understand.

After practicing for an hour, I have a little experience.

On April 5, the Lakers played the Grizzlies at home.

It's an uphill battle.

The two sides fought extremely fiercely, and the Lakers had no intention of giving up.

The Lakers relied on three-pointers to hold the lead at the start of the first quarter.

After that, both sides struggled to score, maintaining a tug-of-war until the final quarter.

The Grizzlies, who were originally behind, relied on Randolph's basket to tie the score.

At the critical moment, Bryant stepped up and regained the lead with a back-to-back mid-range jumper.

Then Li Liang blocked Randolph's back shot under the basket, and Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot on the counterattack to stop the Grizzlies.

Although in the final moments, Mike Conley hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap to one point.

But there was not enough time, and the Grizzlies could only foul the tactics and send Kobe Bryant to the free throw line.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the mighty Grizzlies 88-84 and continued their victory.

As the wins continue to pile up, Lakers management is now changing their minds and feeling that the team should perhaps strive for the first place in the West.

After all, home advantage is still very important.

On April 6, Li Liang continued Maddie's mission.

As a result, it still failed.

This time he tried his best, but Maddie still relied on a good outside touch and looked down to 33 points.

It's just one three-pointer.

Li Liang didn't break down, he just thought, how can the other players of the Magic be so bad?

Why didn't anyone share Maddie's hand?

Rivers, you're a pig-headed coach, you're going to Maddie hard, won't you think of anything else?

On April 7, the Lakers played the Clippers, in fact, in Los Angeles.

The Clippers have been killed three times by the Lakers this season, and they don't want to lose again this time.

Paul really fought hard in this game, played 40 minutes, shot 10 of 18 from the field, scored 25 points, 12 assists and 5 rebounds, helped the Clippers 109:105, a 4-point advantage, and finally won the Lakers once.

They are now fighting for a place in the top half of the fourth-place zone, so naturally they are giving it their all.

Li Liang did not continue Maddie's mission, and it suddenly occurred to him that he might be a fool.

He entered the system, opened the [Physical Fitness] dimension, and entered the [Bouncing] mission.

Li Liang has not paid special attention to the ability value of [Bounce].

Because he mainly relies on shooting in his offense, the bounce doesn't mean that much to him.

Before the draft, he once did a bouncing task, which was very simple, just dunk.

After increasing the bounce to 51 points, I forgot about it when I thought it was enough.

Later, I trained my leg muscles, but I only improved the bounce by 2 points to 53 points.

Now he remembered, why didn't he keep doing such a simple task until he couldn't improve?

Li Liang entered the system, and the task of bouncing this time was still very simple.

Or a dunk, a big stride from the free throw line.

Li Liang's bounce was already okay, although it was a little difficult to jump in this big stride, but his height and arm span were here.

After a few failed attempts, I finally managed to make it once, and I managed to add 5 bounces!

And so it was 58 o'clock.

After reaching 58 o'clock, Li Liang continued to enter the task to improve the jump.

This time, it was a small step inside the free throw line, not far away, and the difficulty rose a lot.

Even if it is increased to 58 points, it is not enough.

Li Liang pondered opportunistic tricks again.

He found that the task was only to complete the dunk, not how to dunk.

In the case of holding the ball, the swing arm is not sufficient, and it is not as far as jumping with empty hands.

So Li Liang decided to throw himself away.

But it is much more difficult to deduct success by throwing it away and deducting it successfully.

So he tried many times, and finally, after dozens of attempts, succeeded very reluctantly.

Another 5 bounces were added, bringing it to 63.

After that, Li Liang didn't do the bouncing mission.

After 60 points, it's not about dunking yourself, it's about participating in the dunk contest!

Li Liang thought about it or forget it, and talk about it later.

Added 10 points of bounce, not to mention the offensive end, the advantage of the defensive end is that it interferes more with Maddy's shot!

It's all for Maddie, and of course it's for Jordan.

After playing the Clippers, the Lakers defeated the Hornets and defeated the Trail Blazers on the road, bringing their record to 61-18.

At this time, both the Thunder and Spurs are 56 wins.

With only 3-4 rounds left in the regular season, the Lakers have locked up the first place in the West ahead of schedule.

The record of 61 wins is also the third time that the Lakers have won more than 60 games in a single season after 2000.

The last two were 65-17 in 2009 and 2000.

Both times the Lakers won the championship.

In the last three games of the Lakers, the opponents happened to be relatively strong, and they were all playoff teams.

At this time, the first place in the league has been booked by the Heat, and the Lakers can't catch up.

Therefore, the team unanimously decided to play the last three games casually and let the players rest more.

However, Kobe Bryant rejected the suggestion of a rotation and insisted on finishing the game.

You can play less, but you can't not fight less.

His attitude and spirit of the game are still commendable.

After all, Kobe Bryant still wants to win the MVP.

On April 12, the Lakers were 113:119 at home, and the 6-point disadvantage was not inferior to the Warriors.

On April 14, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 86-80 at home, because the Spurs were thick-skinned and couldn't play the direct main "injury", and unfortunately lost to the Lakers.

On April 17, the last game of the regular season, it was very coincidental that the opponent was the eighth-ranked Houston Rockets.

After this game, the Lakers are still first, and the Rockets are still eighth.

So the Rockets don't have to go back to Houston, just stay and start the playoffs in Los Angeles.

As a result, the two sides fought quite fiercely and played an overtime match.

In the end, the Rockets relied on Harden's consecutive free throws to defeat the Lakers 98-95, and the regular season of the 2012-2013 season ended here.

The Lakers finished first in the Western Conference with a 62-20 record.

Although it didn't achieve the 72 wins at the beginning of the season, 62 wins was good enough.

Moreover, the regular season is not their goal, the playoffs are.

After the final round, the situation in the west has become clear.

The Lakers are first, the Thunder are second, the Spurs are third, the Clippers are fourth, the Nuggets are fifth, the Grizzlies are sixth, the Warriors are seventh, and the Rockets are eighth.

The schedule will also be announced soon, and the Lakers will start the first game of the first round of the playoffs three days later, on April 21.

The entire Lakers team is actively preparing.

But at this time, Li Liang was very panicked, thinking that he still failed to complete Maddie's task!

However, he hasn't been involved in this task much lately, and has instead focused his time on other small exercises.

For example, he went to the task of [Sticking/Following] to be electrocuted.

On April 19, the Lakers gave the whole team a vacation to relax before the playoffs.

And Li Liang's relaxation is to enter the system and start [locking Maddie].
