Li Liang fulfilled his promise to enter the NBA and won the respect of Atlanta fans.

But the Hawks won't show mercy to the Lakers.

Howard, who played well in the last game, seems to have overdrawn his scoring quota this season all at once, and this game is not good.

The Lakers played hard from the start, and their hands were intermittently muted.

The Hawks scored just 20 points in the first quarter to defend the Lakers, leading 26-20.

The Eagles' bench tonight was an all-out outburst, with Korver, Evan Johnson, Jinx and others all scoring in double figures.

And the Lakers' weakness in the lack of firepower off the bench was exposed, and they lost by a lot of points in the second quarter.

In the third quarter, the main force began to catch up, and the score difference became smaller and smaller.

At a critical moment in the fourth quarter, two substitutes, Korver and Evan Johnson, scored back-to-back points to help the Hawks stabilize their advantage.

And Bryant's last two three-point forced shots missed him.

To make matters worse, Bryant stepped on Jones' foot after landing in the final moments, causing an ankle sprain.

Bryant had to limp off the field.

As for Li Liang, he was actually caught by a double in the final stage.

The eagle directly emptied Ci Shiping's point and didn't give Li Liang a chance to make a move.

As a result, Ci Shiping also failed to grasp the empty three-point shot, resulting in the Lakers losing the game with a gap of 95:99 and 4 points.

The Eagles' bench players put together the team's final eight points.

The loss to the Hawks still exposed the weakness of the Lakers' bench.

They desperately need Gasol's comeback, otherwise they will always lose some points in the transition.

If the opponent's substitution erupts, as it did tonight, it will be unlucky.

Fortunately, in the playoffs, it is mainly about the performance of the main players.

And Kobe's injury was not a big deal after the initial examination, and to be on the safe side, the team decided to send Kobe Bryant back to Los Angeles for an examination in advance.

Now that it's the sprint to the playoffs, Kobe Bryant can't afford to get hurt.

But Bryant refused, and he asked to accompany the team to play the away game and then return to Los Angeles together.

Kobe Bryant's stubborn temper came up and said that there was nothing, so let's go together.

After playing the Hawks, there is one last stop on this Eastern Conference road trip, and that is Indiana.

At the beginning of the season, the Pacers had a win at Stamps.

George Hill beat the Lakers in that game, and the whole team still remembers this hatred of the Lakers.

The Pacers have now surpassed the New York Knicks in terms of record and jumped to second place in the East.

All five of them are very well balanced, and the inside and outside lines are well combined.

It has to be said that the Pacers have always been an underrated team.

They began in the 90s, drafted Reggie Miller to become one of the top teams in the East, and made the playoffs all year round.

In the 2000 Finals, when Reggie Miller and Schmitz were old, they decisively cultivated O'Neal Jr. and became the first in the East again.

Because of the unexpected Auburn Hills palace incident, the team disintegrated early, but the Pacers did not sink and quickly rebuilt the strong team.

Brought in West, groomed Granger and Paul George, traded for George Hill, and regained a force to be reckoned with in the East.

It can be said that in the past 20 years, although the Pacers have not won the championship, they have always managed well, which can be described as a model for small and medium-sized clubs.

Of course, this is inseparable from the Celtic legend, the pride of Indiana native, and the credit of Larry Bird in it.

On March 15, the Lakers arrived at the Conseco Arena in Indianapolis for a pre-game warm-up and ready to start the game against the Pacers.

For Li Liang, although he lost the last game, losing is not so terrible.

He would have been so depressed that he would have relied on [Tim Duncan's head-touching] to calm his mood when the team lost earlier.

Now he knows that winning and losing is a regular thing, and the NBA season is a long marathon, and temporary leads and falls behind are possible.

Until the last minute, there is no such thing as a failure.

So he chose to spend a little rage in the [Personal Training Center] and pulled Korwall out and went crazy for an hour - he didn't allow Korver to attack, and then adjusted his mentality and went into tonight's game.

On the sidelines, he saw Larry Bird, who was wearing a dark brown coat and his face was already swollen, and he always kept a nonchalant face watching everything on the field.

Li Liang quietly leaned over, opened his ball blind dissolver, and gave Larry Bird an appraisal:

[Ball blind index 0.1%, an isolated ball blind body, a lone ball blind walker. According to the second law of ball blindness mechanics, the ball blind value can be spontaneously passed from the high side to the low side, but it is not possible to spontaneously pass from the low side to the high side. So, whether he's on or off the field, he's always the great guy who only has a bit of a microsphere blind index. But because of this, his 0.1% can never be passed on to others, resulting in always a little bit away from perfection. 】

Li Liang buttoned his nose, and said in his heart that this is the lowest ball blindness index he has seen so far, and Jordan's K value is not counted.

0.1%, which makes a lot of sense when you think about it, it always seems to be a little worse.

Being a player is the last step in the NCAA, not achieving a back-to-back championship dynasty in the NBA, losing to the Lakers in the finals as a coach, and meeting Auburn Hills as a general manager, always a little bit worse.

However, when a player has won the Most Valuable Player, when the coach has won the best coach, when the manager has won the best manager, Larry Bird has been the only one in the past.

It's a remarkable achievement, and the championship is important, but not having it doesn't detract from his greatness.

Bird seemed to notice Li Liang's gaze and glanced at Li Liang.

Li Liang waved at Bird, and then ran back to the field to warm up.

……

At half past seven in the evening, the game started on time.

There were a lot of fans coming to the Conseco Arena tonight.

And what made the Pacers players feel cold was that a large number of fans on the scene were wearing Lakers jerseys.

Indiana is a well-known athletic state in the United States, as well as a basketball state.

Although the Pacers have not won an NBA championship, Indiana's high school basketball and college basketball are very good.

So there are quite a lot of basketball fans here.

If there are many basketball fans, there will naturally be more Lakers fans.

As soon as there are many Lakers fans, there are naturally more Nakomi.

Now that the Lakers are in the limelight in the league, they will only play one game a season in Indiana, so Lakers fans from all over India are coming over tonight.

Bryant didn't play tonight, sitting on the sidelines in a suit to watch the game.

Even in this game, the stands of the stadium were full of fans wearing purple No. 24 jerseys.

This makes the Pacers players desperate, is it still home?

Could this be the legendary home such as away, away crematorium?

At the start of the game, Howard and Hibbert jumped the ball, and Nash got the ball and began to organize the Lakers' first offense.

Because Kobe Bryant couldn't play in this game, Meeks replaced Kobe Bryant and entered the Lakers starter.

Mike Brown asked players to increase their autonomous offense before the game to fill the offensive hole caused by Bryant's absence.

So at the beginning, Nash and Li Liang blocked and dismantled in the high post, and Nash directly held the ball into the interior line, and made a sharp stop backward jumper shot.

Try the feel and the ball goes in!

The Pacers responded quickly, and George Hill broke through and returned the ball to David West, who tried to shoot a long two-pointer and also scored!

The opening on both sides feels good.

Then Nash gave the ball to Ci Shiping, who broke through and missed the throw.

On the Pacers' counter-attack, Paul George hit a three-pointer.

But the heat of the three-point pass through the Nets has not subsided, Nash held the ball and quickly counterattacked, Li Liang followed, and received the ball at the top of the arc and shot directly with three points, and also hit!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang blew his fingers, as if to cool his overheated barrel.

Tonight, Kobe Bryant's can't pretend to be forced to be completed by me Gan Liliang. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
