The three days of preparation passed quickly, the regular season had just come to an end, and the 2013 playoffs were finally about to begin.

If the preseason is a warm-up, and the regular season is training and entertainment, then the playoffs are really a real fight.

On April 20th, Li Liang slept at home all day after completing Maddie's mission.

Naturally, the team's training was absent, and the reporter interview during training naturally did not participate.

He doesn't care, he wants to rest well and replenish his energy.

I slept until the afternoon of April 20, when the sun was about to set.

Li Liangcai slowly opened his eyes and woke up, looked at the sky outside, and thought, is it morning?

Is the sun rising?

Looking at the time again, I found that it was the night of the 20th, and I slept all day.

Getting out of bed, Li Liang had a feeling of being full of sleep and rebirth after collapse.

The last time I felt like this was when I completed the [King of Thirds] mission.

That three-point shooting mission took him nearly a month, but the harvest was absolutely good.

This time, Li Liang stubbornly raised the basic defense of the outside line to 81, which is definitely a huge gain.

Because once the ability value reaches 80 points, it means that you have entered a whole new realm.

This is a realm that the vast majority of NBA players do not reach.

Li Liang, who woke up, stood in front of the window, took a deep breath, and felt that all the fatigue in his chest was spit out.

Then a strong feeling of hunger hit, and he immediately put on his clothes and leaned against the wall, and went to Zhu Shu to beg for food.

Zhu Shu knew Li Liang, and he often suddenly fell into a deep sleep all day.

Then she will be very hungry when she gets up, so Zhu Shu will prepare a lot of food in advance.

What a Spanish ham, hamburger, spinach roll, Italian sausage, and of course, a big bowl of ramen that quenches hunger.

Freshly pulled, steaming.

As for Zhu Shu, an agent, he even learned to make ramen, so he doesn't know.

Don't be pressured by more skills.

Li Liang smelled the fragrance of food as soon as he went downstairs, and his legs and stomach were weak.

I climbed down and saw a table of sumptuous dinners, so I didn't say a word, I ate a bowl of noodles to pad my stomach first!

"Eh~ This noodle is cooked for Xiaoting, you... Yours aren't good yet, oops, you eat slowly, don't choke. ”

Li Liang devoured it and felt that his hunger was slightly relieved.

And then everything else, just stuff it into your mouth.

Zhu Shu asked, "Why did you sleep all day?" Coach Brown called and asked why you weren't going to practice again. I said you were sleeping. ”

Li Liangdao: "What did he say? ”

"He said to let you sleep well, don't disturb you, just don't forget tomorrow's game."

Li Liang took a bite of the hamburger and said, "I forgot my surname, and I won't forget tomorrow's game." Hey, what about Wei Dazhi? ”

"I'm going out to do interviews today, and I'm in the playoffs, and there will definitely be more and more news material."

After eating for a while, Bai Xiaoting came over, and when she saw that her bowl was empty, she knew that the noodles had been eaten by Li Liang.

Seeing that the two might quarrel, Zhu Shu hurriedly played a round and said to give Bai Xiaoting another bowl.

Li Liang looked at Bai Xiaoting and said, "Hey, thank you that day for telling me Maddie's weaknesses, which is quite useful." ”

Bai Xiaoting said: "What's the matter, I dreamed of playing with people again at night?" ”

Li Liang said: "Yes, my skills have improved again, and now the Lakers are relying on me more and more." ”

Although Li Liang's words are a bit unashamed, they are also true.

His three-point and interior defense, as well as strategy and connection, are the most scarce and irreplaceable for the Lakers.

Hearing Li Liang say this, Bai Xiaoting didn't say something sarcastic, but leaned over and asked quietly: "I heard Zhu Shu say, you may not stay in Los Angeles next season?" ”

Li Liangdao: "I didn't say, who knows what will happen next season, play the playoffs first." ”

Bai Xiaoting ignored it, and then asked, "If you weren't in Los Angeles, which city would you want to go to?" ”

Li Liangdao: "You care about me, I want to go to Beijing, you follow me?" ”

Bai Xiaoting gave Li Liang a roll of her eyes and didn't speak again.

Li Liang was still hesitating about this, because he didn't dare to do the task of the [City of Angels] book now.

He didn't know if he should stay with the Lakers until he was given instructions on what to do.

Anyway, let's wait until the season is over, maybe the system will prompt you?

……

On April 21, after resting all day, Li Liang, who was full of energy, got up early in the morning.

Drive to the Toyota Center for a warm-up session before the team's game.

The staff at the Toyota Center were all friendly and greeted Li Liang.

Mike Brown had already arrived early, and the first thing he said when he saw Li Liang was, "Did you sleep well yesterday?" ”

Li Liang said: "Great! I feel like my defensive skills have improved again! ”

Brown nodded, didn't say anything, you said to improve, I believe it.

The team had a simple shooting drill in the morning, and there were no extra drills to keep the players fit and healthy.

At noon, Li Liang went to the Mexican restaurant again, ate some chicken rolls and vegetable salad, and went back to take a nap.

In the afternoon, the players arrived early at the Staples Centre and watched the game in the video room in the dressing room.

The team's video editors have compiled some of the Houston Rockets' offensive and defensive highlights this season for coaches and players to watch.

This is the third time the Rockets and Lakers have met in the playoffs in the 21st century, and the eighth in history.

The two teams also have a lot of historical ties, with Washington knocking out Tomjanovic with a punch in the 70s.

In the 80s, the Rockets eliminated the Lakers twice to enter the Finals, and in the 90s, the Lakers Rockets rose and fell, and the two teams met three times with their own wins and losses.

In the 21st century, Yao Ming entered the playoffs for the first time in 04, against the F4 Lakers.

The young and immature Rockets resisted a little, but they were beaten by the old and spicy Lakers and lost 1:4 without suspense.

In 09, Yao Ming matured and became the core of the Rockets, leading the Rockets and the Lakers, who were the No. 1 in the West, in the semifinals.

Yao Ming regrettably reimbursed due to injury, but the Rockets still lost seven games with the Lakers.

It should be the rocket of Yao Ming's period, the closest to the finals.

After that, the Rockets entered a period of rebuilding, and this year, after getting Harden, they finally returned to the Finals!

And their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers, and they are also the Galaxy Battleship with a luxurious lineup.

After playing the regular season, the Rockets stayed in Los Angeles and didn't leave.

I trained and played here for three days, and the game started on the 21st.

I don't know if James Harden still has the strength to make the playoffs.

At 7 p.m. on the 21st, the first game of the playoffs kicked off on time.

Before the official start of the competition, there was also a small interlude.

After sending Darius Morris to the Development League, the Lakers re-recruited a Development League player, Andrew Goodlock.

Goodlock played well in the Development League, winning the NBDL regular season MVP that season.

So, at the Stamp Center, the president of the NBDL presented Goodlock with the silver trophy for the MVP.

The Lakers players stood en masse and applauded him for winning the honor.

Li Liang stood next to Kobe, stabbed him, and said, "Hey, boss, you said you want to win an MVP this year?" Can you get it? You see your little brother has got it. ”

Kobe Bryant put down his vaunts at the Washington conference to win the regular season MVP, and to be honest, his performance deserved a regular season MVP trophy.

However, the Heat and James in the Eastern Conference are too perverted, and they won 27 consecutive wins in the season, finishing the season with 65 wins and 17 losses, first in the league.

James's stats are luxurious, and it is not easy for Kobe Bryant to win James in the vote.

After all, he missed two weeks due to injury, and the Lakers are not as good as the Heat in terms of record.

But it's hard to say, maybe with the extra points of feelings, Kobe Bryant can win another MVP.

Kobe didn't want to discuss this topic with Li Liang, and said, "Boy, get ready to play in the playoffs, but it's different." ”

Li Liang snorted and said, "The regular season playoffs are all games, what difference can it be?" ”

Kobe didn't say anything more, just gave Li Liang a look.

Li Liang thought, Lao Tzu has played in the finals, and I'm afraid of a first round!
