On January 13, 2013, the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Cleveland Cavaliers at home after a three-game losing streak.

After playing the Rockets, Spurs and Thunder in succession, against the Cavaliers, the Lakers can take a little slow.

They need a win to end a bad losing streak.

Before the start of the game, in the player list released by the Lakers, Howard, Hill and Gasol were still "watching".

Among them, Jordan Hill's condition is not optimistic, and a follow-up examination found that he has a more serious ankle injury.

Discussions are currently underway to decide whether or not to have surgery, which would mean Hill will be reimbursed for the season.

Gasol will continue to miss due to a concussion, and by the way, he will be able to recover from his knee injury.

As for Howard, Mike Brown put him on the watch list after attending yesterday's practice.

In front of Buss Jr., of course, Brown wouldn't say "Li Liang doesn't want Howard to come back, he wants to play center." ”

How faceless is he, a second-round rookie, can he still affect the coach's employment decision?

Brown's statement is that first of all, the team doctor thinks that Howard's injury has indeed not healed, and now the record is still very good, so let him recuperate.

Second, Brown believes that the Lakers roster still has potential to be tapped, and it doesn't necessarily have to be for Howard to play with an injury.

Brown's so-called excavation, of course, is Li Liang's inside potential.

Anyway, he just said it, and he didn't really think about it that way.

Little Bas nodded in agreement, but the main reason was Kupchak's persuasion.

Because Kupchak is already mulling a deal after learning that Jordan Hill is likely to be reimbursed.

Earl Clarke has been playing a lot more recently, just to give him the opportunity to show and brush up on the stats so that people can see the goods.

On the night of the game, the Staples Centre was as crowded as ever.

Three consecutive defeats can't stop the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game, even if Gasol and Howard are missing, the Lakers still have Kobe.

And, of course, Bruce Lee.

He has now surpassed Howard and Gasol in jersey sales to become the Lakers' second-best number after Kobe.

At the same time, in the voting of the All-Star starters, in the frontcourt position, Li Liang's votes are rising all the way.

In the announcement of the results of the first vote on December 14, Li Liang was still behind.

By December 27, Li Liang's votes had come to the fourth place among the frontcourt players.

In front of him are Durant, Howard and Griffin.

By the third vote on January 4, Li Liang's votes soared.

In that game, Li Liang happened to help the Lakers beat the Clippers with a wonderful performance in Stamps.

So his vote is successfully surpassing Griffin and is already closing in on Howard.

No way, there are a lot of Chinese fans, and his performance is really good.

Especially in the game against the Clippers, he won the game head-on with Griffin, and there were too many extra points.

In this case, Chinese fans still vote for Li Liang? Even American fans voted for him.

After three rounds of voting, the NBA will officially announce the All-Star roster on January 18.

According to this momentum, needless to say, Li Liang is going to play an All-Star this year.

Li Liang doesn't particularly care about All-Star, what he cares about now is whether he can play center.

The cowhide is blown out, so I have to try it on the field if it works.

The game started sharply at 7:30 p.m. PT, and Mike Brown still used Thackeray as the team's starting center, and Li Liang was still the power forward.

Mike Brown didn't take Li Liang's words seriously, he didn't believe that Li Liang could still play center.

Li Liang thought, if you don't believe it, you won't believe it, and if you don't believe it, you will have to believe it.

Today's opponent is the Cavaliers, who had a tough game in Cleveland before.

The reason for this is that the interior line couldn't prevent a pick-and-roll inside cut by Vallejo, which allowed him to score 20 points.

Now that the Lakers are without Howard and Gasol, can't the Cavaliers play more unscrupulously inside?

However, the Cavaliers and the Lakers are also difficult brothers, even if the record is poor, the interior big man Vallejo is still injured and cannot play in this game.

Their starters were Irving, Alonzo Key, Zeller, Thompson and CJ Myers.

The Cavaliers' form should be said to be quite bad, with a record of 9 wins and 29 losses, which is about the same as the Lakers.

Head coach Brian Scott doesn't have any good tricks up his sleeve for how to lead a spicy chicken team like the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers' Irving had his nose broken in the previous game, so he had to wear a mask on his face to play.

After the opening of the game, the Lakers played very aggressively and quickly took the lead.

Earl Clarke was very eye-catching, coming off the bench with a three-point shot from the outside, and then driving a layup with the ball.

5 points in a row.

Unbeknownst to Clark, Clark was already on the shelf.

The better he is on the court, the more likely he is to be traded.

The Cavaliers were in a bad form, and they started out in a disorganized manner.

wants to rush inside, but except for Irving, other players don't have the ability to completely tear apart the Lakers' defense.

And Irving is opposite Kobe, and today Kobe wants to defend the only arrow of the Cavaliers.

On the inside, Li Liang, as usual, defended normally, made up for the position, and grabbed rebounds in the backcourt.

From the sensory point of view of the scene, it is unremarkable.

Only very attentive professional scouts, video analysts, and players on the field can feel that this kid is decently guarding the inside, a bit of a center forward.

Although his size is not enough, only 6'9, Ben Wallace is actually just over 2 meters.

Height is important on the inside, but the meaning of height is to allow you to interfere with your opponents better.

If you can interfere with your opponent, it doesn't hurt to be shorter.

Li Liang grabbed 5 backcourt rebounds in less than 5 minutes.

Tristan Thompson wanted to rush to the front court to rebound, but none of them did.

The Cavaliers relied on just two free throws from Irving to score two points.

The opening 15:2 stops the Cavaliers.

After returning from a timeout, Irving made a three-pointer from the outside to help the Cavaliers recover some points.

But then Kobe Bryant began to exert his power, and after holding back a few games, he seriously made a state adjustment yesterday.

He was on fire at the beginning of today, anyway, the Cavaliers' outside defense was like that, and it was not targeted at all.

Bryant hit consecutive shots from the outside and scored 12 points in a single quarter.

The Cavaliers are a bad team, they will struggle at home, and when they get to the away side, they won't play much at all.

In the first quarter, the Lakers beat them 39-18 and led by 21 points.

Now Li Liangke was excited, and he scored 21 points in the first quarter!

It's time to enter garbage time, I have three sections of garbage time to play.

As a result, the head coaches on both sides did not cooperate, and this is only the second quarter, a hairy garbage time!

And at the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers fell into a scoring drought.

Kobe Bryant, Li Liang, and Nash are all off the court, and there is no Gasol on the court, so just leave Ci Shiping, can it not be deserted?

In fact, it beat the Lakers 12:4 and narrowed the gap to 13 points.

Then the main force came on the court, and Li Liang hit a three-point shot to stabilize the situation.

Then he assisted Clark and scored a layup on the inside line.

Nash also sent Li Liang an empty catch, but Li Liang didn't catch it well, the ball smashed on the basket, and he almost didn't break his butt when he fell to the ground.

Needless to say, this ball is booked.

But on the defensive end, Li Liang is playing better and better on the inside.

When Thackeray was off the court and Clark was on, Li Liang became the Lakers center.

He played well at the No. 5 position, interfering with the opponent's shots, protecting backcourt rebounds, and switching to small defenders after blocking and dismantling.

Anyway, the knights don't have low-post attackers, so Li Liang doesn't have to worry about low-post back-to-back hits.

The basic defense of the 45-point interior line is okay with the Cavaliers, who lack the strength of the interior and have no tactics.

The Lakers have maintained a lead of about 15 points, and after the start of the second half, Li Liang also accepted the pass and hit the inside line with a two-handed dunk!

A snow was humiliated by a basket dunk in the first half.

The maximum margin was stretched to 25 points.

The Cavaliers pretended not to give up resistance, and were still shooting, breaking through, and chasing points with three points.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers symbolically resisted for another five minutes, but the Lakers stretched the gap to almost 30 points.

Finally, Scott replaced the main lineup and let the game go into garbage time.

Li Liang can show his skills again!

But Li Liang didn't want to brush up on the data in garbage time this time, he had already scored 15 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Trash King's medal has proven to be effective, and he wants to see if the newly acquired items in the mission are useful.

The Cavaliers replaced their side with backup center Loyle, a 6-foot-10 white center.

He saw that Li Liang was still on the field, and he was a little hairy when he was in a position with him.

I heard that this No. 28 likes to abuse substitute players in garbage time, and when it comes to garbage time, he will be alive.

What can I do about this, seeing him abuse me?

No, you can't watch him abuse, just close your eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Then Loyle found that Li Liang was babbling in his mouth, as if he was saying something to himself, but he couldn't understand a word.

“… The relics, stay is empty, empty is stay, stay is not different from empty, empty is not different from stay...... It's all the laws that are stupid, don't cast or iron, don't pass on or watch, don't risk or fly, don't fight and don't retreat, that's why... That's right, no, was it reversed at the beginning? Damn, what a thing, I'll have to carry ...... when I go back."

Li Liang was talking to himself while chattering, but he accidentally made a mistake after taking the ball.

The Cavaliers fight back to one.

Li Liang glared at Royle, who snatched himself, and Royle said, "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

Li Liang said: "If you don't understand, don't ask, it's very profound." ”

Loyle shut up.

Later, Li Liang continued to read it a few times, and Loyer was the second monk who was confused.

Anyway, garbage time was only a few minutes, and it passed quickly, and the Lakers beat the Cavaliers at home, ending a three-game losing streak.

Li Liang didn't have much data in garbage time, so he scored two points and grabbed a rebound.

When he was on the scene, he sighed and said in his heart that this Prajnaparamita Sutra is really a bit difficult to use.
