Chapter 206: Don't Lose
On the evening of December 17, after the NBA officially announced the starting lineup for the 2013 All-Star Game, a key battle started in Stamps.
The two sides are Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat, and this is the first matchup between the top two teams in the East and West this season.
It was also the first confrontation between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James this season, 6vs24.
23vs24, a topic that has been gradually hyped up since 2009, gradually lost its voice after Kobe Bryant and the Lakers gradually declined.
This season, with the Lakers re-emerging, No. 23 has become No. 6, and No. 24 is still that No. 24.
The topic of 6vs24 is back in the air.
The NBA just likes to engage in some gimmicks, no gimmicks and no basketball.
Kobe Bryant is also one of the stars with the most gimmicks.
He has a share in the yellow-green war, he has the rush war, and he has the grudge between the Christmas war and O'Neill.
No way, the topic of the little prince, he is everywhere.
Among them, 23vs24 should be the last super gimmick of Kobe's career.
TN-T TV broadcast the game live, with guest commentators featuring Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr.
The TV station released a comparison of the records of the two teams, and the Lakers are still in first place in the league with a record of 30 wins and 8 losses.
They are also the only team currently without losing in double figures.
The Heat, who played mediocre at the start of the season, slowly entered the state in the middle of the season and successfully overtook the Knicks in 13 years.
With a 25-12 record, it ranks first in the East, one win ahead of the New York Knicks.
The Knicks, who had a strong momentum, are suffering from injuries, and their roster is even older than the Lakers.
The Heat have stayed healthy, and their three core players are all in their prime and in good health.
Before the game started, more shots were given to Kobe and James, and no one noticed that Li Liang was sitting silently on the sidelines, chanting scriptures there......
Yes, he is reciting the Prajnaparamita Sutra, and it is said that the more familiar he is, the more disturbing he will be to his opponents, and the more interfering he will be with strong mental strength.
In the last game, Li Liang experimented with Ballam Porter, who was just an ordinary role player.
He's late in his career and he's on the verge of elimination.
If you are a player, or the kind of star with strong willpower and excellent mental quality, it is not so easy to influence it.
In this game, the Lakers had good news, Gasol recovered from a concussion and made a smooth comeback.
However, Mike Brown still put Gasol on the bench, leaving the starting center position to Thackeray.
Although Li Liang played the center in the last game, he was not an orthodox center after all, and his height and weight were not enough.
In addition, Clarke was traded away, O'Neal Jr. was temporarily unavailable, and Gasol played better as a substitute, or let Thackeray play the No. 5 position for a while.
Li Liang did not raise any objections, and he had a good time playing a center game, and he had a lot of pressure on his interior defensive strength.
45 points of basic interior defensive ability, 60 points of backcourt rebounding ability, plus his height, arm span, Li Liang, is at the level of Joel Anthony, the NBA's best Heat center.
may be a little better than Anthony in rebounding, but the low-post defense and basket protection are half a pound and eight taels.
Therefore, with his interior defensive strength, it is a fool's dream to deal with the Big Three of the Heat.
But the ability value does not represent everything, the ability value is objective, and people still have subjective initiative.
Li Liang has a lot of guys in his arsenal, there are skills, consumables, special products, and most importantly, he has brains and can use his brains.
But after thinking about it, he felt that the best thing to use was this "Dumb Scripture".
Unfortunately, to use it well, it takes a long time to learn and understand it before it can be used flexibly in the competition.
According to the system, this thing is related to the user's [mental ability].
The task of the [Spiritual Ability] dimension, Li Liang didn't even look at it.
Mike Brown is on the sidelines preparing for the game, holding a small notebook to look at the tactics.
He still has tactics.
glanced at the bench and found Li Liangduan sitting there, with words in his mouth.
Brown stepped forward and waved at Li Liang, "Bruce? What happened to you? It's useless to chant mantras. ”
Li Liang ignored it, went through the content of the scripture again, and then said: "Who said it is useless, this is our Chinese mysterious spell from the East, I tell you that this thing is very smart." ”
Brown frowned, thinking to himself that the three inside injuries were really Li Liang's conspiracy? Can he chant mantras?
Don't look at the NBA players and coaches are all high-income classes, in terms of superstition, the gap between them and the grandmothers in the countryside who pray for God and worship Buddha is not too big.
Li Liang finished reviewing the "Book of Stays" before going on the court to warm up for shooting.
In this game, it is like playing Spurs in the mission, the strength is not superior, the interior defense is empty, and it must be found back on the offensive end.
The Miami Heat's perimeter defense is arguably one of the strongest in the league, with strong pressing, near-perfect rotation ability, and a wealth of experience and a tall forward line.
Li Liang wants to score a lot of three-pointers in this game, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
But it's not that easy, too!
What else can Li Liang do if he doesn't shoot three points, rush in and smash the tomahawk.
The game is about to start, and the TV station gave the starting line-ups for both sides.
Lakers center Thackeray, power forward Li Liang, small forward Ci Shiping, guard Kobe Garnash.
The TV host brought up the Lakers' injury issues, and incidentally mentioned that Li Liang was recently selected as an All-Star starter.
This incident has caused a lot of controversy in the NBA media industry, just like Yao Ming back then.
Some people think that Li Liang played really well, but he is obviously not qualified to enter the All-Star starter.
Others believe that the All-Star starters were meant to be the fans' favorite player, and that if he was selected, he was qualified.
And the player Li Liang squeezed out was Griffin of the Clippers, and the matchup between the two before the All-Star voting deadline undoubtedly played the role of a weather vane.
If Griffin can beat Li Liang in stats and beat Li Liang in the opposite position, he is not expected to be overtaken.
No way, the fans are very realistic, and their skills are not as good as others, so you can sit on the bench.
Steve Kerr said that a player like Li Liang who has an elite three-point on the offensive end, a dynamic player on the defensive end, and an all-around player inside and outside is worth making an All-Star.
And his performance is really impressive, and if he were a coach, he would really like a player like that.
Another commentator, Reggie Miller, mentioned a detail.
He said that in the NCAA Finals, Bruce Lee played, and he watched that game and had an impression of Lee.
He ended up hitting two crucial free throws, and at that time he looked a little thin and not stout at all.
Now, almost a year has passed, and if you look at Bruce Lee on the court, he is much stronger.
The TV station compared the shot of Li Liang's free throws in the NCAA finals last year with the shot of Li Liang playing center in the last game.
Li Liang's body is indeed visible to the naked eye as strong as the naked eye, and it can even be said to be inflated.
His arms, shoulders, back, and calves went from being mediocre to becoming muscular.
"Look at his muscles, his body, to get that change in such a short period of time, you know how much effort it takes." Reggie Miller Road.
That's right, it's just that he can get to this point by working hard and hanging up.
"It must be a lot of hard work, look at Reggie, he hasn't gotten strong all his life, and he doesn't work hard when he looks at it." Cole joked with Miller.
The three of them laughed in the commentary seat, and Miller's figure basically did not change from college until retirement.
To this day, Michael Jordan has gained weight, and Miller is still so skinny.
On the other side, the Heat's starters tonight, the 33 brothers, plus championship point guard Chalmers, and the Heat's soul Haslem.
Compared with the Lakers' empty bench, the Heat's bench is strong enough.
Riley's big move this summer was to poach Ray Allen from the Celtics, a big signing.
It not only weakens the strength of the opponent Celtic, but also strengthens itself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, Ray Allen's partner in the supersonic era, Mr. Lewis, was also signed, making the Heat's three-point shot even more terrifying.
The bout was about to begin, with Thackeray and Chris Bosh in the centre circle.
Tonight's referee was the famously bald Crawford, and it looked like the league was looking to add a bit of drama to this exciting big game.
Li Liang stood in his backfield, and directly opposite him, there was also a person standing on his waist.
LeBron James, wearing a black No. 6
Bruce Lee, wearing yellow number 28
Four-six-twenty-eight!
Li Liang turned on the ball blind discriminator and glanced at LeBron James:
[Ball blindness index e%, this is not an ordinary ball blindness, this is a transcendent ball blindness. His ball blind exponent does not satisfy any of the algebraic equations of the integer system, and his behavior is irregularity in the vast history of ball blindness. By observing the nature of his ball blindness, ball blind scientists found that no matter how his opponents performed, how his teammates performed, whether his team lost or won, his evaluation was always "no loss", which is the famous "ball blind no loss principle", showing his strong stability. 】
Don't lose? I'm going to make you lose today.
