Chapter 208: For Whom

The Lakers' return to Los Angeles didn't go well, as they staged a shocking comeback on their first home court.

In the third quarter, the Lakers led the Celtics by 24 points. With such a huge lead, the Lakers' old mistake has been repeated.

How many times have they been taught the problem of letting go after being ahead? But the nobles of Zijin never got rid of this problem.

In fact, the Lakers never think that relaxing after taking the lead is a disease.

The aristocratic blood flowing in their blood makes them never able to do the kind of "kill them all". They always think that everyone else is like them, and they always put "demeanor" first.

The Lakers will never be able to play a very passionate game, because they always have to maintain a "suave" demeanor.

This is also the reason why the Lakers have always fallen behind in the historical encounters with the Celtics. They lack the toughness of the Celtics, which is influenced by the temperament of the city, but also because the temperament of the two teams is very different.

This time the Lakers made the same mistake again, and the Celtics led the way to catch up.

In the last game, the Lakers failed to turn around, and in this game, they were successfully reversed by their opponents after taking a big lead.

The Celtics made a comeback that went down in history, while the Lakers were nailed to the Pillar of Shame.

Li Cheng has been in Los Angeles for the past few days, so he naturally looked for Jenny. However, Jenny was not in Los Angeles for a while, she took on a play, although her role is not much, but it is more important. She followed the crew abroad for filming, not in Los Angeles.

Li Cheng had no choice but to continue watching the game by himself, which also allowed Nissa to avoid some embarrassment.

This time I came to Los Angeles to watch the game, and with the experience of the first two times in Boston, Li Cheng's skin has simply thickened, although he is originally a very thick-skinned person. He directly asked Kobe Bryant to come to the next three games this time, which made Kobe a little crying and laughing.

"The last time you asked me for an autograph, didn't it just to ask me for a ticket at this time?"

Li Cheng's expression still looked shy. But his cheek, thicker than the corners of the wall, made his face blush even a bit. "Next season's finals in Indiana, I'll give you as many tickets as you want, what do you think?"

Kobe coughed and directly opened the topic, "Next season, I'm looking forward to playing against you." ”

"I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the finals."

The last time Li Cheng came to Kobe for an autograph, Kobe Bryant's definition of this guy was-"Cute guy!" But this time, after Kobe Bryant saw Li Cheng's cheekiness, he immediately deleted the impression from last time. However, Li Cheng's ball skills still made Kobe Bryant full of fighting spirit, "Next season." Don't let me blow you up. ”

"How is it possible, you are thinking too much. I'm not going to give face to idols. ”

"Haha! You're such a funny guy. ”

……

In three games, Li Cheng visited Staples Arena three times. Now, almost everyone in the world knows that Li Cheng is a big fan of the Lakers. Li Cheng also made no secret of his identity as a Lakers fan, and some people asked him why he didn't choose No. 24 when he entered the league.

Li Cheng licked his lips and replied, "Wouldn't it be bad if there were two great No.24s in the league?" I think it's better for me to continue the legend of No. 23. ”

Li Cheng's answer undoubtedly made Emperor Zhan lie down and rob him, but the reporters liked Li Cheng's answer very much.

After their first home loss, the Los Angeles Lakers struggled to hold on to their remaining home court.

The Los Angeles Lakers are back in Boston with a 3-2 overall lead, and this time the NBA 07-08 championship is about to be born in Boston.

The competition between yellow and green has become more and more intense. The attention of this grand finale has soared again.

The ratings record set by the Pacers' game against the Cavaliers was also broken by the sixth game of the Finals, which attracted worldwide attention.

Lakers fans want to see their team lift the O'Brien Cup on their opponent's home court, while Celtics fans are expecting their team to stop the Lakers at home and drag the game to a tiebreaker.

The sixth game was a great one, worthy of its ratings. Even Li Cheng was enthusiastic when he watched it. It was a great game. Unfortunately, the only fly in the ointment was that the Lakers, who he supported, lost the game.

In the final minute of the game, Pierce's mid-range shot helped the Celtics take a one-point lead. Then Bryant's shot went out of the basket, and the Celtics seized the opportunity to fight back. Ray Allen shot through the heart, and the Los Angeles people hated away.

The Lakers and Celtics will enter their fifth tiebreaker. In the first four tie-breaks, the Los Angeles Lakers did not win a single one.

Does history show that the Green Shirts will once again win the championship?

Two days later, on June 18. The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have started a tie-breaker.

After a series of irons, the Celtics began to take the lead.

The Los Angeles people's weakness at the No. 3 position made it very difficult for them to play. Radmanovic was blown to pieces by Pierce, and Vujasic's touch was lost in this iron fight.

The Lakers trailed by 13 points after three quarters, and they finally slowly regained some sense in the fourth quarter, and they began to close the gap little by little.

In the last minute, Bryant's ultra-long-range three-pointer finally helped the Lakers tie the score.

In the last 9 seconds, the two teams were tied at 91.

But history is always amazingly imaginable, how similar is Ray Allen's last shot to the last head of the '69 Finals?

Under the Lakers' stubborn defense, the Celtics couldn't find a chance to shoot. But Ray Allen's mid-range shot from a step inside the three-point line forced a shot and smashed into the basket.

The ball hit Blue Neck and bounced straight up, and then the basketball fell into the hoop amid the exclamations of everyone in the audience.

Overtime didn't happen, and the Los Angeles Lakers fell back in the fifth tiebreaker with the Celtics.

Bryant glared angrily at Radmanovic and walked into the locker room angrily. Li Cheng was also a little disappointed when he recalled the excitement of this game. However, this disappointment was immediately overcome, and he took to the court to congratulate the Big Three.

The finals have come to an end, and Lee will fly back to Indiana tomorrow.

The next morning, sitting on the plane back to Indiana, Li Cheng looked at the white clouds outside the porthole, and there was always something in his mind.

The problem he had been procrastinating on, and finally it was time for him to make a choice again.

"Do you want to go to the Olympics or not?" Li Cheng frowned slightly, his eyes kept staring at the white clouds outside the window. Looking at these clouds, a sentence unconsciously appeared in his mind, "No matter how beautiful the clouds here are, they are not as beautiful as the motherland!" ”

After getting off the plane, Li Cheng turned on his mobile phone, and an unread text message jumped out. It was a text message from Zhao Xinglin.

"When you get off the plane, give me a call back!"

Li Cheng took a taxi with his luggage, and in the taxi, he dialed Zhao Xinglin's phone.

"I know what you're up to." As soon as Li Cheng came up, he took the lead.

"Do you think so?" Zhao Xinglin's voice was a little apprehensive.

Li Cheng was silent for a moment and said, "No." ”

"Shall we talk then?" Zhao Xinglin asked.

Li Cheng was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, come to my house!" I just got back from Boston. ”

……

When Li Cheng arrived home, Zhao Xinglin was already waiting for him outside the door. Li Cheng didn't expect Zhao Xinglin to be so eager, he opened the door and motioned for Zhao Xinglin to sit down in the living room now, and then took two coffees from the refrigerator.

"You still have a pimple in your heart!" Zhao Xinglin put the coffee next to him and went straight to the topic.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "My heart is not so broad-minded. ”

"But if you think about it, during this time, the national team has already started training. But you haven't responded for a long time, and there are no hacking remarks about you in China! ”

"If there is, I will hold a press conference today and refuse it outright."

"Then Younas didn't call you again! That's been waiting for your answer. Zhao Xinglin continued.

Li Cheng nodded, "He gave me enough respect." ”

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Who am I going to the Olympics for?" Li Cheng took a sip of coffee and said, "I know that your family's background is not ordinary, maybe these are the reasons for your family!" I shouldn't have anything to do with this personally, if it weren't for you, I might be like a street rat in China right now. After he finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'll show you something." Zhao Xinglin turned on the computer he was carrying, and after using the network card to face the Internet, he logged in to the "Xiao Li Flying Knife" website.

I saw that at this time, the homepage of Xiao Li's flying knife had completely changed. The background of the entire site changed to a few words, "Please come back for the Olympics!" This is our collective wish! ”

"If there is, I will hold a press conference today and refuse it outright."

"Then Younas didn't call you again! That's been waiting for your answer. Zhao Xinglin continued.

Li Cheng nodded, "He gave me enough respect." ”

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Who am I going to the Olympics for?" Li Cheng took a sip of coffee and said, "I know that your family's background is not ordinary, maybe these are the reasons for your family!" I shouldn't have anything to do with this personally, if it weren't for you, I might be like a street rat in China right now. After he finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'll show you something." Zhao Xinglin turned on the computer he was carrying, and after using the network card to face the Internet, he logged in to the "Xiao Li Flying Knife" website.

I saw that at this time, the homepage of Xiao Li's flying knife had completely changed. The background of the entire site changed to a few words, "Please come back for the Olympics!" This is our collective wish! (To be continued......)
