Chapter 629: No last resort

Wiggins, under Li Liang's persuasion, understood the essence of basketball.

What is the essence of basketball? It's accumulation!

What's the use of you playing well in a game?

Burst into the fireworks, leaving a meteor-like glow in the sky, and then disappear into the long night.

It still has to last, and persistence is king.

Wait for more than ten or twenty years, look at the long list of data accumulation, even if there is no honor, more data is an honor.

Isn't there a saying that killing one person is a murderer, killing a hundred people is a perverted murderer, and killing a million is a king.

For example, Kobe, playing iron is a sin, and when you play too much, you become the Iron King.

By the end of the third quarter, Wiggins' offensive momentum had waned.

Instead, Li Liang began to fight back, and with his body of steel, he attacked the basket continuously.

After losing weight, Howard found that it was difficult for him to stop Li Liang's inside impact.

This kid's body is really strong, and he is about to catch up with James.

The former superman, because of injuries, has become no longer omnipotent.

Of course, Kobe Bryant couldn't give up.

Kobe Bryant was in excellent form tonight, and with the Lakers trailing by 11 points, Bryant launched a final comeback.

He faced the two-man trap of Li Liang and JR Smith, used skillful dribbling and feints to shake away, causing JR Smith's foul, and also shot the ball and added three free throws!

"Defend Kobe, you don't have to jump, do you know? What's the use of you jumping? He can't jump right now anyway. You have to wait, you have to believe, Kobe Bryant will be iron, OK? ”

Li Liang passed on his defensive "experience" to JR Smith, and it was the first time Smith had heard of Kobe Bryant, relying on "waiting".

"Will it work?"

"Don't worry, it will work!"

JR-Smith will be skeptical, Kobe Bryant is in hot form tonight.

If, as Li Liang said, if you don't go all out to prevent it, what if you can't control it later?

Although the Pacers were ahead, they were only more than 10 points ahead, and after Kobe Bryant hit a successful three-point shot, the difference was already below 10 points.

Subsequently, Li Liang returned the color of three points in the offense and regained the advantage.

And Bryant used his skills again to hit a jumper shot on the head of JR Smith.

This time, JR-Smith really didn't go all out.

Kobe Bryant continued his scoring frenzy like this, but the Lakers never came back because Li Liang could always respond.

When the Lakers reached a critical moment, the defense still couldn't keep up.

In the final three minutes, the Pacers still had a nine-point lead.

The Lakers still have a chance, and at this time Kobe Bryant has already scored 37 points, so it can be said that the sword is not old.

But in the last three minutes, Bryant showed people why he was the Iron King.

JR Smith's defense was not out of position, but he didn't go all out to save, which was to give Bryant a chance to play alone.

Kobe Bryant seized those opportunities, made a shot, and then none of them scored!

Bang bang iron, really merciless to the basket.

JR-Smith thought to himself, "What a god." ”

Li Liang is not wrong, the Lakers are Kobe Bryant, and Kobe Bryant is defeated.

Kobe Bryant's several operations at critical moments made the Lakers completely lose the opportunity to turn the tables at the last moment.

Although Bryant scored a high score of 40 points in the end, it was still difficult to prevent the Lakers from losing to the Pacers by a 102-110 and 8-point deficit on the road.

Li Liang scored 38 points and 7 assists, further consolidating his position at the top of the scoring list.

After the game, Smith couldn't help but say to Li Liang: "Bruce, why can't you shoot until Kobe Bryant?" ”

Li Liang said: "How do I know, I want to ask you, how could you not know?" That's Kobe! ”

If it was Kobe Bryant when he was young, Li Liang would never dare to say this to Smith, if you don't defend well and don't go all out to pounce, Kobe will tear you apart.

But Kobe Bryant is old after all, the 2013 season is Kobe's last peak, after the Achilles tendon injury, even if he takes medicine, his state is all the way down.

Therefore, Li Liang is sure that Kobe Bryant will still play according to the past style of play, but he will no longer have the same power as in the past.

You don't need many people to defend with all your might, just let him blow himself up.

Besides, when he was young, Kobe Bryant blew himself up a lot.

In terms of today's game, it is a high probability that Kobe Bryant's shooting rate will decline in the back.

If Kobe Bryant continues to be supernatural, then it will not be too late for Li Liang to stand up and fill the hole.

Anyway, I'm Bruce Lee, it's got everything!

Even if there is no last resort, Gan Li Liang is exactly below.

Kobe Bryant also came over to hug Li Liang, Li Liang touched Kobe's head very intimately, Kobe Bryant's hair is still quite a lot, so he needs to take care of it more.

"Next time you come to Los Angeles, I'll treat you." Bryant Road.

"No, I'll ask you, you just pay." Li Liangdao.

Bryant grinned, patted Li Liang on the shoulder, turned to leave, and the smile disappeared.

Another victory, and the Pacers are on the right track.

When Li Liang put more energy into the offense, the Pacers functioned significantly better.

Because for the Pacers, the hardest thing is not defense, not details, not effort, but goals.

The job of scoring goals requires talent, and the Pacers lack a little such talent, so Li Liang is here to make up for it.

And just after playing the Lakers, the next day, the Pacers took a plane to Los Angeles to face the Clippers away.

The smoke of the last 56-point battle with the Clippers has not yet cleared, and the second and final matchup between the two teams this season is here.

At the same time, this will also be Li Liang's return to Los Angeles after half a year.

……

At noon on December 17, the plane from Indianapolis landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

In the past, Li Liang took off and landed at this airport hundreds of times, and came here again, which is really emotional.

Unexpectedly, there were many fans who came to greet Li Liang at the airport.

Some of them were wearing Lakers jerseys, some were wearing Clippers jerseys, and they all cheered loudly when they saw Li Liang.

Li Liang smiled and waved to them, and stepped forward to sign autographs for them, and even took a group photo.

Li Liang always greets the fans with a smile and will not turn on a hair dryer for them.

Fans are parents of food and clothing, playing big names or something, they are disrespectful to their parents, and there will be no good results.

Moreover, being able to go to the airport to greet the away players is enough to show that Li Liang's popularity in Los Angeles is quite high.

Two championships in two years, he brought shock, which many players can't give in ten years.

So, it's normal to be welcomed to this level.

And the real grand welcome ceremony will be left for the game on the night of the 18th.

Because the Los Angeles Clippers were champions last season, the players have already received championship rings in the opener.

Li Liang didn't have it because he left.

When he was with the Lakers before, because the opening game happened to be between the Clippers and the Lakers, Li Liang took the first game at that time.

Now halfway through the season, Li Liang is finally back at Stamps.

After the singing of the American national anthem, the entrance of the away players, when it was Li Liang's turn, the lights were completely extinguished, and the stadium was dark.

It's a treat that only comes out on the home side.

"Below is the forward, 6-foot-9, from the University of Kentucky, Bruce Lee~~~"

In the high-pitched introduction of the DJ, Li Liang ran into the spotlight.

The applause at the scene lasted for a long time, and Li Liang waved to the fans at the scene, but the applause did not stop.

The applause lasted for nearly five minutes, at which point Ballmer came to the center of the court with last season's championship ring and handed it to Li Liang with his own hand.

"You deserve it, Bruce."

Li Liang took the ring and was full of emotion for a while.

Last season, the Clippers didn't feel that deeply, because they were still in Los Angeles after all.

Now that I have gone to the countryside and returned to the city, can I feel the same?

The enthusiasm of Los Angeles fans, as well as their love for him, all appeared in front of Li Liang's eyes.

He took the ring and the microphone and stopped the applause of the fans, otherwise the game would not be able to continue.

"OK, thank you, thank you, I didn't expect you to remember me, I thought I was going to forget about me."

Pull it down, it's you who are ungrateful.

The applause at the scene finally stopped slowly, and Li Liang delivered a speech that showed his true feelings, which once again caused a cheer from the audience.

Finally, Li Liang put on the championship ring and raised his right hand high, and the light of the diamonds on the ring shone in the light.

Raise your head, in the sky above Stamps, there is finally a championship flag that belongs to the Clippers!
