Chapter 261: Hesitation

Li Liang felt a little confused when he saw this box......

Random conversion attributes, what does it mean?

Put the attributes of shooting to the block, the power to the speed, and the steal to the assist?

Isn't that all messed up? No wonder it's called Cottinger's box.

But what's the use of it?

Li Liang felt that something was wrong, so he carefully read the explanation again and found that there was a line of small words after the explanation:

[Note 2: Attribute values can be adjusted only between the same dimensions.] 】

Seeing this, Li Liang understood, that is, the values of the offensive dimension will be randomly rearranged, instead of rushing to the defensive dimension or other dimensions.

The data of each dimension is exchanged internally, so that the exchange will not be too messy.

Looking at it this way, this thing is kind of useful.

What is the use, Li Liang has not yet thought about it.

This stuff feels funny, but it's also very unreliable.

After all, it is random, and many of Li Liang's ability values are not high.

If you accidentally swap out a strange combination of points, won't it be over?

Do you want to try it, Li Liang fell into hesitation.

……

On the other hand, after Kobe Bryant returned to Los Angeles with the team, he went to the hospital for an X-ray and MRI examination of his ankle.

After the doctor's consultation, it was unanimously determined that Kobe Bryant was just an ordinary sprain and only needed to rest for one to two weeks before he could recover and reappear.

On the afternoon of the 16th, the news spread through the Los Angeles media, and the majority of Lakers fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At such a critical moment, if Kobe Bryant suffers a serious injury, then the Lakers' efforts this season will be in vain.

In fact, Mike Brown has been very careful with Kobe's use.

But Kobe Bryant is 34 years old after all, and old age is not based on muscles and bones.

Besides, the sprain of stepping on the foot is completely accidental, and it has little to do with fatigue or not.

Faced with such a situation, Lakers management and the coaching staff met on the 16th to discuss and decide on the team's strategy for the next dozen games.

At the beginning of the season, Lakers management had thought about hitting the top spot in the regular season, or even the highest win percentage in history.

The excellent performances at the beginning of the season also show that this is possible.

But the long season has been a long season, and all kinds of troubles and difficulties have followed.

It is not easy for them to survive until now and still rank first in the west.

Based on past experience, the real battlefield of the Lakers is still in the playoffs, and as long as they are in the top three, there is no problem.

Because in the history of the NBA, there are only two teams outside the top three teams in the division that have won the championship that season.

One was the Houston Rockets in 1995, when they entered the playoffs as the No. 6 seed in the West, and worked their way down the road to create miracles and get the key.

One was the Boston Celtics in 1969, the stormy green empire, which only finished fourth in the East that year.

At that time, there were few teams in the NBA, and only four teams from each division made the playoffs.

So the Celtics were the last seeds in the East that year, and they gritted their teeth to the end.

Both of these are miracles in NBA history, and miracles don't happen very often.

Therefore, the Lakers want to keep the top three in the West.

At present, the record is similar to that of the Lakers, one is the Thunder and the other is the Spurs.

The Nuggets and Clippers are not far behind.

The Lakers' last fifteen games, 7 away and 8 at home, are not bad.

The rest of the opponents are not too strong, and one of them is the Clippers and the Spurs, which will be key battles.

Others, such as the Kings, Wizards, and Warriors, are relatively easy opponents to deal with.

Two of them were against the Kings and two with the Warriors, both in California, which is good for the Lakers.

The last game was against the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets are currently teetering on the brink of the playoffs, and the Lakers may be able to influence the final ranking of the playoffs.

Overall, the situation of the Lakers is still good, and the coaching staff and management are more optimistic about the end.

After more than two hours of discussion, the management and coaching staff decided to give Bryant a two-week break.

It's mid-March and he expects to return in early April.

Of course, if the Lakers' record collapses, Kobe Bryant will consider returning early, after all, his injury is not a big deal.

And Pau Gasol, who has been resting for a long time.

According to the comeback schedule, he will return on March 22 for the game against the Wizards.

This is already a conservative plan that will be carried out as usual, and the team will need his firepower on the bench.

For the rest of the game, protecting the veteran players from injury will be an important goal.

If you can win the game, you have to win, and if you are not in good shape and the tide is gone, let the old players rest.

Coming out of the office after the meeting, Kupchak pulled Mike Brown aside and said, "Kobe and Paul are not there, the personnel pressure will be greater, pay more attention to protection." I think we have a 50 per cent win rate for the rest of the games, so it shouldn't be a big problem. “

Mike Brown nodded that if they have a 50% win rate in the remaining games, the Lakers will end the regular season with 60 wins and 22 losses.

This record will definitely be in the top three.

Even if you lose a few more games, 57, 58 wins, it's acceptable.

Thinking of this, Mike Brown felt a little lighter on his shoulders.

He already had a plan to reduce the waiting time of the main team, expand the rotation, and let the substitutes play more.

It's just that the pressure of the management's performance has been there, and he doesn't dare.

In the opposite East, the Miami Heat have completed a 21-game winning streak and are one game away from the Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

The all-time record holder is the Lakers, with a 33-game winning streak.

After a poor start to the season, the Heat have made great efforts in the late game and have now managed to surpass the Lakers and become the hottest team in the league.

In this case, without the permission of the management, where would Mike Brown dare to release water.

Now it's okay, it's looser, and I can play less nervously.

Mike Brown is already thinking about how to put together the rotation and lineup.

At this time, there are also players training at the Toyota Center.

Li Liang is here.

Today he continued to stay and practice his pull-up jumper.

It's really interesting to attack with the ball, and he's practicing it anyway.

He didn't care about the other bells and whistles, and practiced this trick well, at least so that the opponent couldn't exchange it for him casually.

Li Liang saw Mike Brown coming down from upstairs, put down the ball in his hand, and beckoned to Brown.

Brown was going back to his office, packing up and going home to pick up his son from school.

Seeing that Li Liang beckoned to him, he said in his heart, what does this kid want to do?

Then, Mike Brown trotted over and asked Li Liang what was wrong.

Li Liang pulled Mike Brown aside and asked, "Mike, what did the team say at the meeting, is it about the next team record and rotation?" ”

Li Liang's little ears are still quite popular, and in the past two days away from home, on the plane, the coaching staff has been discussing the issue of rotation rest.

Li Liang knows that when it comes to the sprint stage at the end of the season, if he wants to be healthy or healthy, the team will definitely choose one.

He wants to know the team's strategic decisions, so he can make his own strategic approach.

Mike Brown thought about it, it's all about telling the players anyway, it makes no difference if you say it early or late.

"Ahem, the team decided to take care of the health of the older players and put the main force in the playoffs. Increase the rotation of the team and allow the bench players to work out more and prepare for the playoffs. Mike Brownway.

When Li Liang heard this, he said: "Oh, you just said that if you can win the next game, you can win, and if you can't win, you will release the water and it will be over." ”

"Don't say that, how can you release water? Be sure to win! But victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers......"

"Okay, you have to win... By the way, don't put me in if you take a break, I don't want to rest, I want to practice more. ”

Mike Brown nodded, and said in his heart that you still want to rest, you dream about it.

If young people don't do more work, should they let the old people do it?

Li Liang let Mike Brown go and continued to train his pull-up jumper on the court.

After returning home in the evening, I had dinner and went to watch a movie with Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting.

Recently, the new biopic "The Iron Lady" of Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep was released, and Zhu Shu said that she wanted to see it, and Li Liang went with her.

Li Liang watched the whole film absent-mindedly, because he was always thinking about [Kodinger's box] in his heart.

When this thing arrived, his heart was itching.

Moreover, it was good to watch the movie with Zhu Shu, and there were many Bai Xiaoting.

When sitting in the seat, Bai Xiaoting sat between Zhu Shu and Li Liang, which made Li Liang very unhappy.

After watching the movie, Li Liang said: "Hey, two iron ladies, how do you feel after watching it?" ”

The longer the contact, the more Li Liang felt that he didn't know enough about Bai Xiaoting and Zhu Shu.

I don't know why they didn't watch romance movies and feature films, and came to watch "Iron Lady".

Li Liang thought, if Kobe Bryant makes a biopic in the future, should it be called "Iron Man"?

Zhu Shu said: "I admire her very much, but I think it's really difficult to do what she does. ”

Nonsense, other female prime ministers, can it not be difficult?

Bai Xiaoting said: "I admire her husband even more, and he can support her like that." ”

When Li Liang heard this, he always felt that what the two said should be reversed and changed.

Change, change, change or not?

Thinking of [Kodinger's box] again, Li Liang fell into hesitation.

"It's better to just change, anyway, the team has no record pressure, maybe?"

Once you are tempted, no matter how long you hesitate, you will eventually do it.
