Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight
Chapter 554 553: Super giant hunting plan (please vote for me!)
The news that George Karl was hospitalized due to high blood pressure basically only occupied an area the size of a tofu cube in the reports of major media.
The Nuggets put so much effort into building their lineup and were swept 4-0, which also made them consider whether to replace George Karl.
Yes, he burst a blood vessel for the team, but the team was thinking about cutting him.
This is the worst kind of capitalism.
The Nuggets feel that George Karl is not suitable to be a head coach and is more suitable to be a chef.
Because this old man is an expert at cooking.
Man, why hang yourself on a tree? If you don’t understand how to play basketball, what if you become famous by cooking? If I can’t understand the novel, what if you can write the words by looking at the pictures?
In this wave of events, Karl Lao was forced to go from being a championship coach to being laid off and awaiting employment.
It's also quite miserable.
What's even worse is that when such a big thing happened, he didn't get any attention.
Leon's news occupies most of the sports section of major newspapers, and George Karl doesn't even deserve his name.
All I can say is, congratulations to George Karl for joining Larry Brown and Popovich’s Mi Li Family Funeral Home.
The fact that Li Ang failed to become the unanimous MVP is indeed too hot.
George Karl wants to gain some attention during this time period, unless he announces that the banquet will be held tomorrow.
It has to be said that Li Ang regrets missing this opportunity to become the unanimous MVP. This is indeed a big regret for Clippers fans.
After all, Li Ang's 97% first choice rate is the highest first choice rate after O'Neal.
This means that among the 120 reporters who participated in the voting this season, only 4 people did not vote for Li Ang as their first choice.
After O'Neal found out that among the people who didn't vote for Le Ang, there was this idiot Hickman, and this idiot also voted for Kobe, he couldn't help but complain on social media:
"This guy has ruined historic moments time and time again. The league should deprive him of his right to vote! If you take him for an IQ test, his IQ may not be higher than Barkley's!"
Barkley:? ? ?
If you don’t have a championship, you’ll be bullied everywhere, right? ?
It has to be said that Hickman’s behavior is just like censoring and deleting pictures. It is simply harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself! It not only interrupts everyone's happiness, but also does no good to myself.
Everyone is complaining about Li Ang. After all, Li Ang's performance this year is obvious to all, even more terrifying than the Shark back then.
In 2000, Shaq averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 3.0 blocks per game, leading the team to 67 wins.
Except for rebounds and blocks, Li Ang's other statistics are better than Shaq's. Moreover, it once again tied the historical record of 72 wins.
Considering that Li Ang's body shape is not as abnormal as Shaq's, his performance is even more commendable.
So not only Los Angeles fans, but also many neutral fans feel wronged for Li Ang.
Countless fans sarcastically said that if Li Ang were a white man, he would have unanimously voted for MVP.
If those reporters can really tell the reason why Li Ang can't win the MVP, then don't vote if you don't want to vote. After all, the choice is in their hands. You want what you say to be reasonable and everyone will recognize it.
But the reasons given by people who didn't vote for Li Ang were each more far-fetched than the last.
Because Li Ang has not broken through 72 wins, I feel that Li Ang has not improved, so there are all reasons for not voting for Li Ang.
Then doesn’t it mean that those with over 60 wins in this league don’t deserve MVP?
If the picture is deleted because it shows a woman, does that mean that the entire website cannot have female characters?
They just had to write the sentence "There is no reason but I just don't want to vote".
Stern was actually helpless because he also felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Ang's performance. Even if he really won the unanimous MVP, it would not be an exaggeration. The birth of the first unanimous MVP in history can also increase some topicality.
This year's vote has directly created a crisis of confidence in the NBA. Fans have said that the league's vote is not fair at all.
There is no way, the NBA is a business league after all. MVP voting rights are all given to major media outlets in various countries in order to increase media favorability.
Only by allowing others to participate can the commercial value of the NBA be more effectively enhanced.
However, even professionals in professional media are not necessarily as professional as you think.
For example, DPOY has Marcus Camby but not Duncan, which is one of the unprofessional behaviors of those reporters.
Indeed, Camby's defensive statistics are very beautiful. But just looking at the data is useless. You have to look at the specific defensive effect.
In order to block a shot, Camby may completely abandon the basket and attack a player preparing for a mid-range shot. At this time, whenever the opponent passes the ball to his inside line, Camby's defense is gone.
He blocked three risks in one game, but maybe the rim was stolen 10 times.
As for Duncan, he may not be so obsessed with blocking shots, but he can prevent the opponent from scoring.
Who do you think has better defense among these two?
They are also 10,000-word novels. Some of them are bad, while others are vivid in content. Who do you think is better?
The DPOY voting has already been a joke, and now the MVP voting is a joke again.
Stern also feels that this kind of random voting cannot be allowed to happen again.
So the day after Li Ang won the MVP, Stern announced a new strategy that will be implemented starting from next season.
After each season in the future, media and reporters with voting rights will be evaluated by an "incompetence point" and the results of the evaluation will be made public.
Media that rank among the bottom three in terms of incompetence points for two consecutive years will be deprived of their voting qualifications, allowing other media to fill in.
Stern's operation can be regarded as hitting the weak point of these reporters.
Simply taking away the right to vote may not be a strong enough deterrent. But if the evaluation results are to be made public, the impact on the media will be great.
After all, if a media outlet scores too low after the results are made public, it will appear unprofessional and lose credibility.
To put it bluntly, you can make random bets, but you must pay a corresponding price.
Boss Si was able to defend Li Ang from the side.
However, it is too late to do anything now. At least this season, Li Ang's dream of being unanimously voted MVP cannot be realized.
Even if reporters don't dare to cast random votes next season, Li Ang may not be able to perform at the unanimous MVP level.
Some opportunities come only once in a lifetime.
Li Ang sighed, forget it, the matter is now over and there is no need to be distracted by this matter.
Anyway, the MVP is obtained, at least it is not so outrageous that even the MVP has been voted out.
It's better than some short guy catching nothing.
Tomorrow, the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Clippers will begin, and Li Ang must concentrate.
We must win, and we must close the remaining 32-point gap with Kobe.
For Li Ang, this series can only be won, not lost.
If he loses to the same person in the playoffs for two consecutive years, then Li Ang will not be able to talk about dominance.
The power of being dominated is pretty much the same.
Although Jordan also lost in his heyday, he never lost to the same person consecutively.
Therefore, his dominance is unquestionable.
Let's put it this way, if Li Ang loses this series, all 72 wins and MVP will become gifts to Kobe. Li Ang can't make a lot of money, but Kobe can make a lot of money and gain honors.
We, Lao Li, have worked hard all year long, and we can’t spend all our savings just to play Kobe.
If you get married and your savings are wiped out by betrothal gifts, at least you can get a wife back.
If Li Ang is hollowed out by Kobe, then he really has nothing.
Vanessa: Haha, have you already reached the stage of discussing marriage?
Therefore, even from the perspective of his entire career, this is a series that Li Ang cannot afford to lose.
Therefore, Li Ang has no time to worry about the unanimous MVP. These days, Li Ang is trying to adapt to the feeling of left-handed shooting every day, hoping to truly make there is no difference between left- and right-handed shooting.
On the other hand, Kobe pulled the trainer every day to train his ability to interfere with shooting.
He knows very well how strong Li Ang's defensive ability is, and the tragedy of Anthony in the last round is still vivid in his mind.
Kobe must get used to the feeling of shooting under interference, because Liang may really deny you an open shot.
This game is no longer just as simple as the Los Angeles Civil War.
All basketball fans around the world have focused their attention on the Staples Center.
The two best players currently playing will go head-to-head in the playoffs.
Before the game, various predictions also believed that the Clippers and Lakers would be evenly matched.
No one can predict who will have the last laugh.
Even Barkley, Li Ang's big fan, didn't dare to say with certainty that the Clippers would win this time.
The famous Lakers magician also dare not say that the Lakers can definitely defend the title.
Both sides are facing the strongest opponents this season!
In fact, it was very simple for Magic to want the Lakers to win. All he had to do was say, "Whoever wins the Western Conference Finals will be my son-in-law." Li Ang probably voted on the spot.
The war is about to begin, and even Lu Zi, who has such a good mentality that he can fall asleep directly during coaching games in the playoffs, has become nervous recently.
He and Dunleavy have been studying the Lakers, hoping to find a way to safely resolve the game.
But there is no such way. This season, when the Clippers and Lakers have a complete lineup, the Clippers have only defeated the Lakers once.
It is really difficult to sum up any experience from just one winning experience.
Moreover, it was thanks to Li Ang's key ball that time that the Clippers got through the danger.
The game must be decided by key goals. To put it bluntly, the strategy does not suppress the opponent.
Dunleavy and Lu Zi can only continue to maintain their original strategy and take it one step at a time.
On the other side, the Lakers' old Zen master has already laid out a dragnet for Li Ang.
At this moment, the Zen master is like a woman who is wearing high-quality silk at home, pouring red wine and waiting for her boyfriend to come home, fully prepared for everything that comes next.
Before the start of G1 of the Western Conference Finals, Master Jackson was probably the calmest among all the participants.
He walked towards the locker room with a leisurely and slow pace, as relaxed as if he was going to play an ordinary regular season game.
You know, even Kobe has a serious expression today. Even Shiv Duncan walked into the locker room with a frown on his face just now.
In the player tunnel, reporters also asked the old Zen master: "Phil, can you lead the team to surpass Leon for the second consecutive year? The Clippers have won eight consecutive games in the playoffs and they have not yet lost. Do you think, Can you give the Clippers their first big blow at Staples?"
Phil Jackson, a guy who never likes to talk much in front of the media, adjusted his glasses and showed an extremely confident smile: "We'll see."
Most reporters think Zen masters are boring. Your answer is like not answering, brother.
Also, who else in this world can deal with Li Ang?
Is George Karl great? Coach Qian Sheng, a famous marshal of the Mi Li family. The results of it? They were swept 4-0 and were hospitalized for high blood pressure. Now they are ready to work flexibly.
Presumably the Zen Master actually doesn't have any good way to deal with Li Ang.
This time, however, the reporters were wrong.
Phil Jackson, perhaps no one in this league understands superstars better than him.
Because he once coached the greatest superstar in NBA history.
He knows everything about superstars.
Superstars are indeed very capable, but they also have weaknesses.
Even Michael Jordan at his peak had weaknesses and games he couldn't handle.
This time, Zen Master planned to imitate one of his old rivals, an old rival who almost caused Jordan to fall in his prime.
Although that year, the old rival eventually failed. But to be honest, it was because Jordan was too incomprehensible and won the game he was about to lose.
Zen Master admitted that he was completely defeated tactically that year, and he relied on Jordan's personal ability to win.
But Jordan is Jordan, and Li Ang is Li Ang. Faced with the same situation, if Jordan can forcefully reverse the series, Li Ang may not be able to do the same.
An hour later, players from the Clippers and Lakers were at Staples Center.
Los Angeles fans are in for a treat, because the game between the Clippers and the Lakers is essentially not divided into home and away games.
Since both teams play their home games at the Staples Center, every game in the Western Conference Finals will be played at the Staples Center.
In fact, it is very difficult for local Los Angeles fans to buy tickets.
Countless foreign fans also traveled thousands of miles to Los Santos just to watch this round of the series.
ESPN said directly: "This round of series has almost caught up with the influence of the Olympic Games. Fans from all over the world gathered in one city for a sports competition. This is really the appeal that only the Olympic Games can have!"
Therefore, what Lu Zi leads is really a dream team. Only when a dream team plays a game can it be so attractive.
Stern never dreamed that the duel between Kobe and Li Ang would usher in the biggest leap in NBA influence since Jordan.
Tonight, the Staples Center is packed with people and the stars are shining brightly.
But the most dazzling thing is the group of strong men warming up on the court at this time.
He was extremely nervous when he was warming up for hard shots. He had never had such a big stage.
There are only a handful of dance artists in the world who can have this kind of stage.
A'Jiang's achievements in the dance world are indeed Liu Bi's.
Li Ang held his breath, hoping to use practical actions to vent his dissatisfaction at missing out on the unanimous MVP award.
But at this time, Li Ang didn't know that the old Zen master's "super giant hunting plan" for him had been officially launched!
"Listen guys, you can't let your opponent dunk on you. Even if it's a hard pull or a foul, you have to pull them down. If you don't fight your opponent at the basket, your opponent will embarrass you!
You do that and then apply our defensive strategy. We will definitely be able to defend the championship! "
Master Jackson is not a chicken-soup type coach. He rarely yells at everyone so excitedly before a game.
When the old Zen master spoke, he always focused on the key points.
Therefore, everyone remembered the Zen Master's request.
Next, you just need to strictly follow his requirements, and everything will be fine.
Before the game started, Kobe and Li Ang, old acquaintances, did not speak or give a pretentious hug.
The two men fought from the beginning of the century until 2009. They are involved in almost every major event since the 21st century.
At the beginning of this century, the Lakers shocked the league with two consecutive championships, making O'Neal and Kobe Bryant a success.
After that, it was Li Ang's iron-blooded Pistons that ended the Lakers' gorgeous performance. Let's put it this way, before this, Li Ang was at best an ordinary All-Star. But after defeating the Lakers, Li Ang stepped on the shoulders of Kobe and O'Neal and embarked on his own road to superstardom.
Subsequently, Li Ang reached the peak of his career in Phoenix. But just last season, Kobe retaliated in kind and brought his dancer friend to temporarily end Li Ang's peak. And he also stepped on Li Ang's shoulders, greatly increasing his historical status.
From the 00-01 season to last year's 07-08 season, in eight seasons, you will find that Li Ang accounted for four of the championships, and Kobe accounted for three.
Only the Bulls led by Yao Ming were able to steal a championship from their reign.
Artest: I have to mention my superb pouring skills. With me here, the Bulls players will not be thirsty when playing!
So it is no exaggeration to say that this is the era when Kobe and Li Ang fought against each other.
These two people have been fighting for almost ten years, and they don't need those pretentious greetings between them.
They all know that when the two meet on the field, they will knock each other down. This is their destiny.
This is a showdown between two lifelong enemies!
Not to mention on the court, even in life, Li Ang and Kobe refused to give in to each other.
In order to catch up with Li Ang and achieve the achievement of the voice-activated light becoming immortal overnight, Vanessa suffered a lot some time ago.
Kobe and Leon don't need to say anything, just do it.
After the game started, everyone was looking forward to the soaring performance of Kobe and Li Ang.
However, for two full minutes after the start, Li Ang did not score a point.
If Li Ang didn't score because he didn't take a shot, it wouldn't matter.
But the key is that Li Ang has taken three shots in just two minutes, but none of them hit.
Phil Jackson looked at the troubled Leon proudly, his strategy worked!
Li Ang also discovered that something was wrong with the Lakers' defense today.
Today's game is not a matter of double-teaming between two people, but the Lakers using the entire team's strength to defend themselves!
Take the attack that just ended, Li Ang singled Ariza on the right. This was an easy wing single.
But as soon as Li Ang made a move, Kobe double-teamed him. Li Ang broke into the inside even further, and Hard Special rushed back immediately.
In the end, Li Ang could only choose to pass the ball in the three-person attack.
The Lakers' attack on Li Ang was very determined and extreme. He almost ignored others and attacked Li Ang with all his strength.
After Dunleavy saw the Lakers' defensive formation today, he also called it abnormal.
The two perimeter players, Kobe Bryant and Billups, both shrank directly to both sides of the free throw line when Li Ang held the ball.
Bynum defended Duncan, while Garnett stepped on the edge of the three-second zone, flanking Li Ang at any time.
Today, the Lakers' defense was completely dominated by Li Ang. Everyone else except Duncan was directly let go by two or three steps!
The Lakers want to use this crowd tactic to contain Li Ang, even if they give others a chance.
The essence of the triangle offense is to allow the stars to easily one-on-one, and the Zen Master wants to break this rule, but does not give Li Ang a comfortable one-on-one space.
Because Master Jackson knows very well that even if the rest of the Clippers can score goals, their scoring is limited.
You give Diaw 20 shots and see if he can kill the game.
You give Rose five open three-pointers and you see how many he can score.
Of course, it is not ruled out that role players can really kill the game.
However, even if they can kill, they can only win one or two games. But in the series, we have to win four games!
Jackson is not an idiot like George Karl. He knows very well that it is impossible for the Lakers to beat the Clippers without losing a game. It can even be said that the series will definitely be brutal.
But he doesn't care how many games he loses, as long as he is the first to win the fourth game.
To put it bluntly, the playoffs are about competing for stars. Without Li Ang, can the Clippers beat the Lakers? able. But can it be won four times? This is impossible!
It was very difficult for Li Ang to play. Billups, Kobe, Ariza and Garnett were all top-notch defensive experts. They worked together to defend Li Ang, and even the scoring champion would feel the pressure.
Apart from Li Ang, the team's most reliable scoring point is the idiot.
But Zen Master just made Bynum see idiots very well.
Bynum can only guard against idiots, not to mention that he can prevent idiots from dying, but at least he can prevent the idiots from breaking out.
If his fingers were not injured, Li Ang would not be unable to score in the face of such a flanking attack. But now, Li Ang can only shoot with his left hand.
The last round of the series has already exposed the problem that Li Ang's left-hand shooting is not as unsolvable as his right hand.
Of course, the Clippers' defense isn't bad either. Li Ang's defense against Anthony in the last round has proved a fact: If my offense is a piece of shit, then I will make your offense smell worse than mine!
Li Ang also worked very hard on the defensive end, making it very difficult for Kobe.
But relatively speaking, the Clippers' defense is still not as extreme as the Lakers'.
Both teams fought fiercely, defended wildly, and the point difference never reached double digits.
Li Ang played very hard, but facing the Lakers' encirclement and suppression, Li Ang felt that he was doing a thankless job.
Throughout the game, Li Ang had very few open opportunities, not to mention one-on-one opportunities.
In the end, in this Western Conference Finals that is destined to go down in history, the Lakers relied on extremely extreme encirclement and suppression tactics to defeat the Clippers 100-92 and get a good start in the series!
At the same time, it also gave the Clippers their first loss in the playoffs this season.
Kobe scored 25 points, but Li Ang had 26 points.
But Kobe's shooting percentage today is a full 10 percentage points higher than Li Ang!
Diaw shot 1 of 5 from three-point range, and Rose made 1 of 5. These gave the Lakers the capital to frantically suppress Li Ang.
In the last round against the Nuggets, Li Ang's most ferocious game also had a shooting percentage of 40%.
Today, Li Ang's shooting percentage is only 37%!
Li Ang rarely has a game in which his shooting percentage is less than 40%. Let alone a season, even in his entire career, there are only a handful of games in which Li Ang's shooting percentage is less than 40%.
But today, the Lakers did it!
They actually defended Li Ang, a player who is considered to have almost no weaknesses.
"The Lakers won the first game, and their throne will not be easily shaken! The Lakers are determined to build a dynasty, and Kobe wants to replace Li Ang, just like Li Ang replaced him back then!"
Li Ang did not accept any interviews with reporters after the game. After returning to the locker room, he ripped off the splint on his finger and smashed it to the ground.
The entire locker room was extremely quiet, and no one dared to take a deep breath when Li Ang got angry.
Li Ang felt that the splint affected his shooting too much, so he just asked the team doctor to wear a glove on his finger in the next few games.
Li Ang was furious, but on the other side, Kobe was not complacent. During the press conference, Kobe didn't even smile.
Judging from his expression, it seemed like the Lakers were the ones losing today.
"Bryant, why do you look unhappy?"
"Happy? Why are you happy? Our work is not over yet. We have only played one game in the series. This is just the beginning."
Kobe was right, this is indeed just the beginning.
Because of the series G2, the Clippers immediately and tenaciously regained a victory.
However, Li Ang still struggled in this game. Helping the Clippers regain a victory was Duncan, the number one dead forward in history.
The idiot gave Little Shark a hard lesson today, scoring 32 points.
The NBA's strongest science champion couldn't control his points today.
In one of the attacks, the idiot even dunked Bynum, causing the little shark to sit on the ground.
Back then, your dad and I were able to hit big sharks, so wouldn’t I be able to knock down your little shark?
Bynum not only lost his defense, he also lowered his seniority.
If O'Neal is Bynum's father and Kobe is Bynum's uncle, then Bynum can't call Leon grandpa?
Kobe:? ? ?
Why are you taking me with you? Damn it!
Li Ang hasn't found his wife yet, but now he has his grandson in his arms.
Don't tell me, Kobe's situation today is actually not much better than Bynum's.
Li Ang and Kobe had a fight today, and they both died in love. We don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day.
We sleep together in life and sleep together in death!
Vanessa wailed.
Kobe only scored 19 points with a 39% shooting rate, and Liang only scored 20 points with a 40% shooting rate.
Neither of us will ever see each other again!
Li Ang couldn't score a goal anyway, so he simply focused on the defensive end today.
Come on, let's torture each other in the hardest possible position, see who can't withstand it first!
In the end, it was the Lakers who failed to withstand it.
Because Kobe was restricted and Duncan stepped up.
Therefore, in this game, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Lakers 94-90, tying the series at 1-1.
Although Duncan led his team to win the game today, there was one thing he couldn't figure out.
Why does my wolfberry water smell like red cow today?
Li Ang: What are you looking at me doing? It was definitely not me who secretly poured Red Bull into his wolfberry cup, just like how could I do such a sloppy thing!
After the Clippers equalized the score, I thought Li Ang would perform a stand-up comedy with the theme of "Milk Snake" for everyone at the post-game press conference.
However, Li Ang's state today is similar to Kobe's last time.
Although he won, Li Ang was unsmiling and even seemed a little angry.
Can you not be angry? After two games, Li Ang scored 26 points in one game and 20 points in the other. His shooting percentage was 37% in one game and 40% in the other.
In the two games combined, he scored 3 points more than Kobe, and he was still 29 points away from catching up with Kobe in total points.
Who can be happy about this?
Being defended for two consecutive games can be said to be something Li Ang has never encountered in his career.
The Lakers' defense is really, really good.
If I hadn't added Red Bull to the idiot's cup today, I might have fallen behind 0-2.
Li Ang must solve the passing problem. Since mid-range is not possible, then break through!
So in the third game, Li Ang didn't score many points after the game, but he had a lot of bruises.
In the third game of the series, the intensity of confrontation between the two sides further escalated.
On average, one person is knocked down once per round.
The referee also whistled the game based on the sign of "no blood, no foul".
The style of the entire game seems to be back in the 1990s.
Today, Duncan scored another 22 points, but he couldn't withstand Billups and Harder and scored 50 points together.
Billups had a small outburst today and taught the young Rose a good lesson.
Li Ang originally wanted to rely on breakthroughs to score points, but under the Lakers' extreme defense, whenever Li Ang got inside, he would be double-teamed by three or four people.
For Li Ang, who doesn't know how to pull the lever with great difficulty, this kind of flanking attack is simply too fatal.
Li Ang also tried to solve the problem with post-up singles, but Li Ang was often flanked as soon as he received the ball.
He didn't even have a chance to make any moves.
Fortunately, Kobe was still very uncomfortable being guarded by Li Ang, and only scored 21 points with a 41% shooting rate.
Li Ang recovered another 4 points, but it was not enough. Li Ang was still 25 points behind Kobe.
In G4 of the series, the Clippers' role players finally made contributions.
Rose made 4 of 6 three-pointers today, Barnes made 5 of 7, and Diaw even more so. The three of them shot 73% of the three-pointers and blasted the Lakers from beyond the three-point line.
Li Ang also received 12 assists.
This is the kind of game that Jackson envisioned, where role players can also help the Clippers win.
But Zen Master is not worried, because this kind of game is rare for the Clippers. Rose, Barnes and Diaw, are they the kind of players who can hit four or five three-pointers every game?
He paid a price today for letting go of the Clippers' role players, but the price was not fatal.
What the Zen Master cares more about is that Li Ang still only scored 23 points today, and his shooting rate was still only 42%.
The Lakers still guarded Li Ang!
As long as he can guard against Li Ang, his tactical thinking will be fine.
After four games, the two sides were tied at 2-2.
The intensity and excitement of this series did not disappoint the fans.
And next, comes the most critical battle of Tianwang Mountain!
Whoever wins the next game will get the match point.
It goes without saying how important match points are in such a close series.
Let's put it this way, you can imagine who can be the first to treat the goddess to spicy hotpot between you and your competitors. The person invited first will definitely have a greater chance of getting on base.
In this regard, Clippers fans are very confident.
After all, Li Ang has never lost in Tianwang Mountain.
If you want to go up the mountain, then we won't be sleepy.
The script seems to be developing along the same trajectory as before.
Li Ang will definitely shock the world in Tianwang Mountain and then lead his team to the finals.
Isn’t there a script like this every year?
However, this year, the script has changed!
"Kobe Bryant, he is facing Leon's defense outside the three-point line and is preparing to execute this key attack!"
Li Ang opened his arms and saw Kobe in front of him holding the jersey in his mouth.
Kobe tried to make a breakthrough, but as soon as he took a step, he directly shot from the mid-to-long range.
During this process, Kobe kept holding the jersey in his mouth and didn't let go until the moment he took the shot. Li Ang's defense was half a beat slower, giving Kobe a chance of maybe just a few tenths of a second. However, Kobe was stunned to seize this opportunity and score this key goal with his jersey in his mouth in front of Li Ang!
At that moment, the Staples Center exploded.
Because in the last 35 seconds of the game, under Li Ang's defense, Kobe opened the point difference to 7 points!
This goal almost sealed the victory for the Lakers!
"With 30 points, Kobe has scored a new high in a single game in the Western Conference Finals! He is about to lead the team to win this crucial battle at Tianwangshan!"
Li Ang looked at the score and still believed that a miracle would happen.
This is the battle of Tianwang Mountain. He cannot lose. If he loses, there will be no retreat.
In the next attack, Li Ang and Duncan played a pick-and-roll.
However, the Lakers still resolutely chose to double-team Li Ang with both players, and the pick-and-roll tactics did not work at all.
Li Ang faced two defenders and gave the ball to Duncan, but the moment Duncan took the shot, Garnett rushed over and interfered with Duncan's shot.
The Clippers' offense failed!
At this time, there were only 23 seconds left in the game, and the Clippers had to foul and send Bynum to the free throw line.
Although Bynum made only one of two free throws, this still left the Lakers trailing by 8 points in the last 23 seconds!
Li Ang then played a quick attack without using any tactics. He dribbled the ball to the mid-to-long distance in the frontcourt and pulled out Ariza before the double-team came up.
Basketball hits.
But alas, time is running out.
In the end, the Clippers lost to the Lakers 98-105 on the road, losing the crucial Tianwangshan battle!
The Lakers lead 3-2 and get the match point!
At that moment, Kobe finally smiled.
At that moment, Lakers fans were already chanting for the championship.
Li Ang rarely showed a frustrated expression on the court. Cruel competitive sports will not allow Li Ang to get the perfect script every time.
This time, he fell behind 3 to 2 and had no way out.
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson did not cheer, but felt a sense of relief.
Although the Zen master won, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Because Li Ang's shooting percentage improved to 45% today!
As a shooting guard, this is already a shooting percentage above the qualifying line.
Moreover, the team scored 27 points.
Li Ang is adapting to this defense, this is a fact.
but.
There are no more games for Li Ang to adapt to!
In the next game, the Lakers only need to win by even 1 point, and Jackson will no longer have to worry about Li Ang.
He believed that his battle plan had been a great success!
Yes, the Clippers won two games. Yes, the Clippers' role players have their moments.
But again, if Li Ang is restricted, the Clippers will not be able to beat the Lakers four times!
Li Ang was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and today instead of surpassing Kobe in scoring, he actually allowed Kobe to score 3 more points.
Now, the total scoring gap between Li Ang and Kobe is 28 points.
For a moment, Li Ang even felt that it was pointless to dwell on the scoring gap between himself and Kobe.
Because if you lose, the mission will directly fail.
Media all over the world are praising the Lakers. It seems that Kobe is about to defeat Li Ang in the playoffs for the second consecutive year, completely summing up the dominance of Chinese players in the NBA, and completely summing up Li Ang's peak.
Li Ang did not attend the post-game press conference, and Dunleavy did not force it, and went with Rose and Duncan.
After the press conference, Ross was also uneasy.
"Tim, can Leon recover?"
Since Rose entered the league, this is the first time he has seen Li Ang so disappointed.
After the game, Li Ang said nothing in front of the locker and didn't even make a joke.
Without saying anything, Duncan touched Rose's head first.
Let’s talk about it later!
After touching enough, Duncan slowly said: "What kind of person do you know Li Ang is?"
"ah?"
"What kind of man do you know Li Ang is? Easily give up? Easily retreat? He is the man who once created the miracle of three consecutive championships. He is the man who holds four championship rings!
Don't worry, he just needs some time. "
With that said, Rose and Duncan returned to the locker room.
When he opened the door, sure enough, Li Ang did not remain depressed, but was pulling Deng Levy and Lu Zi to watch today's game video.
Seeing this, Duncan shrugged at Ross: "Yes, Leon is such a man. His recovery time is shorter than we thought."
Of course Li Ang won't give up. It's just 3-2, not 3-0. What are you afraid of?
There may be nothing we can do about falling behind 0-3, but there are many examples of 2-3 comebacks in history.
Today, Li Ang feels that the Lakers' defense seems to be a little different, so his efficiency and scoring have improved.
But Li Ang couldn't tell exactly what was different, so he could only watch the video and study it slowly.
After seeing the last goal where he succeeded in grabbing time to beat Ariza alone, Li Ang shouted: "This is it, replay!"
Then, Lu Zi replayed the attack several times.
To be honest, Lu Zi didn't know what to replay. There was no tactics or strategy at all in this goal. It was just a goal that Li Ang handled quickly to seize time. It was completely a reflection of his personal ability.
But Li Ang watched it very carefully. After watching it a dozen times, Li Ang clapped his hands: "Okay, I know how to break the Lakers' defense!"
Dunleavy and Lu Zi had little question marks on their heads, what the hell... do you understand again?
When Li Ang's coaches, Dunleavy and Lu Zi often had the illusion that they were worthless.
Idiot: Is there a possibility that you two are not delusional?
After watching the video, Li Ang hurriedly turned on the system, but was disappointed to find that he did not trigger the "Avenger" badge.
Li Ang did lose this game and his scoring was not as good as Kobe's, but Kobe has not yet reached the point where his performance is far better than Li Ang's.
Therefore, the Avengers Badge did not trigger successfully.
Li Ang sighed, but it doesn't matter. If this strategy really works, then the next game can be successful even without the Avengers badge.
Li Ang found that the defense he encountered in this series was particularly similar to the situation Danzi encountered in the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals.
How did Danzi defeat the Knicks at that time, and Li Ang will try to defeat the Lakers next.
But what was more difficult for Li Ang than Danzi was that Danzi was only behind 0-2 at the time and still had room for maneuver. And Li Ang was already 2-3 behind, and there was no chance for him to make a mistake.
So if he wants to change his destiny against the will of heaven, Li Ang has to do better than what he had done back then.
When Lu Zi and Deng Levy saw that Li Ang suddenly started to feel dazed, they asked anxiously: "Hey, don't be too pretentious. What tactics will you use in the next game? Pick and roll? Or off the ball?"
"No need. In the next game, we don't need any tactics on the offensive end. Derek, Tim, you may have to work harder on the defensive end in the next game.
Because I will spend most of my energy on offense! "
When Lu Zi heard this, he was happy.
Don’t want tactics? I am most familiar with this kind of competition!
The old Zen master thought that Li Ang could not turn the tide under this kind of defense like Jordan did.
But he never thought about how the Lakers would respond if Li Ang really did it.
The proud Zen master thought he had already landed, but little did he know that he had just entered the water.
