Chapter 340: Beat LA
Li Liang's three-point shot pierced the hearts of the 20,000 fans in the Heat.
With less than 30 seconds left for the Heat, Spo called a timeout.
Li Liang blew his fingers off the court, and all the Lakers players rushed towards him, Li Liang knew that they were going to touch their heads, so he hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, the game is not over yet, the game is not over yet!" ”
The veterans all calmed down, only Kobe Bryant came over and hugged Li Liang's head, "Well done, well done boy!" ”
Li Liang hammered Kobe Bryant's chest and did not speak, because he knew that before the final whistle blew, he must not be careless.
The Heat's three-point shot was so powerful that 30 seconds was enough time for them to make a three-pointer.
If they make a three-pointer and then foul a free throw, and don't hit both free throws, the Heat have a timeout.
So Li Liang will never take it lightly, and when he returned to the bench, he kept saying, "The game is not over, it is not over!" ”
Li Liang seems to be participating in the finals for the first time, but he has actually played several games.
And they are all games between winning and losing, knowing that any carelessness will make the previous efforts go to waste.
1969 Finals, 1984 Finals, how did the Lakers lose?
is the carelessness of losing at that point, facing the Heat, Li Liang never wants to make the mistakes that Lakers players have made in history.
At the end of the timeout, as Li Liang expected, James received the ball outside, took a quick shot outside the three-point line after dribbling, and hit a long-distance three-point shot!
The Heat are alive!
Mike Brown immediately called a timeout to set up a service game.
He replaced Howard and Ci Shiping with Gasol and Jamison, who were accurate on free throws.
The Lakers' first target is not Kobe Bryant or Nash, although their free throws are very stable, but the most stable person is still Li Liang!
And this is his old job, he went to the free throw line at critical moments, and he did this job for four years in college.
At the end of the timeout, the front court served, Kobe and Nash came over one after another to pretend to catch the ball and take away the defense, and finally the ball was passed to Li Liang's hands.
Li Liang jumped high to catch the ball, controlled the ball, and never made a mistake.
The Heat could only foul and send Li Liang to the free throw line.
Seeing that there was still a glimmer of hope, the Heat fans booed frantically and waved the foam stick in their hands to interfere with Li Liang.
But it didn't work, Li Liang hit two free throws steadily, and the ball didn't touch the basket, it was too stable.
90:86, 4 points, an absolutely safe score, as long as you don't make extremely stupid mistakes, the Lakers won this game.
Only Larry Johnson beat the Pacers on a four-point finish in the playoffs in 1999.
And at that time, the Pacers were leading by three points, so they had to do their best to prevent Johnson's three-point shot, which led to a foul.
The Lakers have a four-point lead and don't need it at all.
In the last ten seconds, after the timeout, the Heat switched to a pure three-point lineup.
James was guarded by Li Liang, failed to shoot three-pointers, and passed the ball to Ray Allen.
Ray Allen missed a 45-degree three-point shot on the left side, and Howard picked up the backcourt rebound, firmly controlled the rebound, and ended the game!
"It's over! The Los Angeles Lakers won the first game of the Finals 90-86, a four-point advantage over the Miami Heat, and won the first game! In the final moments of the game, Li Liang, who had never hit a three-point shot before, hit three three-pointers in a row, and had a very, very crucial steal, and then hit both free throws at the free throw line! scored a game-high 31 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, and helped the Lakers win, how do you evaluate Li Liang's performance? ”
"Awesome, really awesome, awesome, MVP, definitely MVP-level performance. We don't know what the end of the game will be, this one is definitely at the MVP level, if he can enter the national team, it will be really, really. ”
Director Zhang's vocabulary suddenly became scarce, except for "amazing", he really didn't know how to describe Li Liang's performance.
But it's so powerful that no one doesn't think it's amazing.
The whole court is stealing chickens and dogs, seizing the loopholes of the Heat to make trouble on the inside.
At the critical moment, he took out the killer weapon and took out a sniper rifle and shot him three times, killing the game.
For such a performance, a "MVP" evaluation will never be fruitful.
And as soon as the competition ended, the American media, social networks, and Chinese forums exploded directly.
We all know that the game will be very intense and exciting, and we all know that someone on both sides will step up and kill the game.
It's just that I didn't expect that the person who stood up would be Li Liang, and he would kill his opponent in this way.
In other words, many people actually thought that Li Liang would use this way, but they didn't expect it to be realized.
The players on both sides began to leave the field, Li Liang did not accept an interview with reporters, and he and his teammates returned to the locker room from the players' tunnel.
Li Liang was very quiet all the way, he didn't roar, he didn't scream, he just felt a little hungry.
After winning the game, what should I eat at night?
The win was a big step for the Lakers, who took a solid step toward their 17th championship.
If they can win their 17th championship, the Lakers will be equal to the Celtics in terms of championships, and Lakers fans will be able to pat their chests and say that the Los Angeles Lakers are the real No. 1 team in the NBA.
But for Li Liang, the victory was just a small step, and he was in the first year of his career.
……
Li Liang attended the post-game press conference and was asked a lot of questions by reporters, no way, he is the real star of this game, and he has covered the limelight of Kobe, James, Wade, Howard and others.
In the face of reporters' questions, Li Liang replied very freely, "I just do what I have to do." ”
"At that time, I felt that it came, so I voted, and I couldn't enter the sky."
"There's no nervousness, that's what I do in Kentucky, and I'm familiar with that feeling."
"I can't say in the next game, the Heat will definitely deal with it, but we will still try to win, and the sooner the series ends, the better......"
Anyway, he just said casually, reporter, write as much as you like.
Kobe Bryant was asked a very sharp question, judging from this performance, his MVP may not be very stable, and whether he would mind winning the championship or not winning the FMVP.
In the final analysis, the Lakers are Kobe's team, and Kobe's competitiveness is not only reflected in the team's victories, but also in personal honors and statistics.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a conflict with O'Neal back then, because he wanted to be the boss, he wanted to win the MVP, and he wanted to have his own team.
In 2011, when they were competing for a third consecutive title, the team started the season very well, winning consecutive games.
At that time, the whole team had Gasol as the core, starting from the inside, and Kobe Bryant averaged "only" 22 points per game in a few games.
As a result, Kobe Bryant felt that he scored a little less, increased the number of individual shots, and then there was no more.
So Kobe Bryant was criticized for no reason, sometimes his overly competitive spirit will hurt others and even himself.
But the current Kobe Bryant is not the same as before after all.
After this successful season, Kobe Bryant has really changed.
Faced with this somewhat pointed question, Kobe Bryant smiled and said, "I have won five championships, and three of them are without FMVP. ”
This answer is very intriguing, and the meaning can be, "There are no three, I have to take this, so it is even." ”
It could also be, "There are three of them anyway, so why not have one more." ”
In short, the team wins, everything is easy to say.
Winning the first time and regaining home-court advantage is a good sign for the Lakers.
The pressure of Game 2 was all on the Heat.
After the game, Li Liang went back to the hotel with the team bus.
In the lobby of the hotel, Li Liang saw Zhu Shu, and Li Liang, who had been pretending to be a sniper killer with a cold face along the way, immediately laughed a chrysanthemum.
"Why are you waiting for me here?"
"I'll be back after the game, I'm doing so well today, I've prepared food for you in the room, you must be hungry, right?"
Zhu Shu stepped forward, and as soon as the game was over, she didn't run to the locker room to get clean, but went back to the hotel first to prepare food for Li Liang.
Li Liang nodded, now he must eat something after the game, otherwise he will be really hungry.
returned to the room for supper, and was harassed by Wei Dazhi for a while.
Because of Li Liang's performance, he posted various statuses on social media and received a lot of likes, including EJ's reply.
In fact, EJ Johnson doesn't pay much attention to basketball, but he still gives face to Wei Dazhi.
After a lot of tossing, the first day of the finals match day passed like this.
It was a perfect day.
Li Liang thought that it would be nice if there was only one finals, like the NCAA.
If that's the case, you'll be able to drink the celebration wine today.
But there are seven games, and Li Liang knows that he will never be able to win the Heat easily.
In the first game, the Heat were clearly in trouble, and the seven big games with the Pacers took their toll on them.
The Heat lost more than a dozen frontcourt rebounds in this game, and the next game the Heat will definitely pay a lot of attention to the protection of backcourt rebounds.
Overall, of course, the situation is still in the Lakers' favor.
According to historical statistics, the probability of winning the first game in the finals is 70%.
Li Liang didn't use his mobile phone to swipe Twitter and forums, he knew that he must have blown him up on the Internet.
The second-round rookie with a salary of 500,000 can play to this point, to be honest, Li Liang retired directly after playing this finals, and his performance this year is enough to blow for a lifetime.
But because Li Liang's ambition is far less than this, his mentality is very peaceful, and he does not feel proud of a victory at all.
Sleeping at night, he entered the system and drew the prize.
The prize was good, and he was given a bottle of recharged Gatorade.
This thing was last time I drew a bottle, and after drinking it, the whole stadium was teddy.
If you draw it this time, maybe you can use it in the finals?
But Li Liang still hopes that it is best not to use it, because if you use it, it means that you will be tired to death.
……
As Li Liang expected, just when he fell asleep and forgot about the first game, the forum and Internet between China and the United States had exploded.
Li Liang's results and performance in this game were not only on the sports news, but also on the news of CCTV 1.
It is foreseeable that if you win the championship, it will be appropriate to be on the news broadcast.
The domestic sports forum is completely explosive, and in the past, domestic fans still had their own die-hard fan teams and stars.
Like Kobe Bryant and James, they all have a large number of very loyal fans.
But Li Liang's performance really convinced many fans of other stars, even James's fans.
"Yes, yes."
"It's a good feeling, whoever wins the championship is very happy."
"Li Liang take an FMVP!"
"Lao Zhan has already won the championship, this championship is not a loss to Li Liang, it is too cowhide, it is like a monkey who jumped out of a stone, and he hit Nantianmen directly, Monkey King."
"Directly surpassing Yao Ming in one season, I really don't know how to blow it, does anyone investigate what his father and mother are doing? Where did the genius come from? ”
"I heard that his father sells tractors."
The discussion that followed gradually faded away and had nothing to do with basketball.
Li Liang was unaware of this, and when he got up the next day, he participated in team training normally, ate at noon, and rested in the afternoon.
There was a two-day break between the first two games of the finals, Li Liang was not idle, found Alexander, and carried out muscle relaxation and maintenance to ensure that he could still have a stable state in the next game.
On June 9th, the second game of the finals began.
The Miami Heat has come to the edge of the cliff, and if they lose this again, they will go to Los Angeles to play 3 away games in a row, and they will see the Lakers win the championship in Stamps.
So before the game started, the Heat players gathered around, with Dwayne Wade in the middle, and yelled "we fight, we fight, we fight, we fight, we fight" with the players, four times in a row, symbolizing that the team is going to win four games to win the championship.
The fans in the audience shouted "Beat LA", they were all shouting "Miami" in the last game, and they found that it was not quite right when they lost, and they still had to shout "Beat LA" when they beat the Lakers.
After the game began, Howard jumped to possession and the Lakers attacked for the first time.
After two days of adjustment, Li Liang feels that the Heat's mental state is much better tonight.
Bosh, who has always had a weak kidney face, looks much more majestic.
And the first attack in the opening game was still the blocking and dismantling of Nash and Li Liang, Li Liang took the ball and tried to dribble in a step, and just wanted to make the next move, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Beep!"
The referee blows the whistle and then makes a spinning motion.
Walking!
"I'm walking? You to walk, are you questioning my basketball professionalism, I can walk with this kind of ball? ”
Li Liang still has to go up to be reasonable, because this kind of step of holding the ball and trying to break through after the dribble is indeed easy to walk.
If you move your feet first and then dribble, you will walk properly, and if you dribble first and then move your feet, you will lose the opportunity.
So what's really powerful is that the dribble is synchronized with the feet, so that the referee can't see the walking, and at the same time it's not too slow.
Li Liang has practiced this trick repeatedly.
The referee was not polite to Li Liang, "You are questioning the professionalism of my blowing penalty, I said that you are walking when you walk!" ”
Tonight's referee is none other than the bald Joe Crawford, the only person Li Liang can't reason, because this person is unreasonable.
