Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems
Chapter 118 The King of Los Angeles
A zero-sum game like basketball is destined to be a life-and-death game on the court.
No matter how close you are off the court, you have to compete with each other on the court and regard each other as an enemy.
As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons on the court... No, there are no brothers on the court.
The most famous example is the 1988 NBA Finals. Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas, who have a very good relationship off the court, routinely embrace each other before the start of the first few games of the finals.
But when the game deepened and the two sides played more and more fiercely, this kind of intimacy made them feel sick.
Then they lost contact for quite a while, and they didn't recover until long after the finals.
These American superstars have just formed a team to win the championship in London, and when they return to the United States, they will fight on their own.
Both Kobe and Paul are competitive people. They are both in Los Angeles, and they must compete openly and secretly.
Kobe is far ahead in honor and is a well-deserved son of Los Angeles.
And Paul is better than young, he has the opportunity to catch up with Kobe, although it is very difficult to achieve Kobe's achievements.
At the end of the three quarters, the battle between the two sides became 80:77, and the Lakers led by 3 points.
Clippers coach Negro feels a little headache.
I originally thought that the third quarter would be the time when the team started.
But the team's momentum was cut off by the No. 28 kid and Kobe.
Li Liang's foul on Paul on the defensive end and close follow-up defense made the Clippers' offensive efficiency drop.
Except for the 9:2 at the beginning of the third quarter, there has been no continuous output.
And Kobe has regained his form after a period of offensive low tide.
In Los Angeles, he didn't want to give up the city king's crown so easily.
Tonight he played fiercely, very aggressively, not the Kobe Bryant who has been doing the ball in the first two games.
That is the fake Kobe, this is the real Kobe.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was put on the bench by Mike Brown.
He needs a break.
In these three games, Li Liang didn't play as long as he didn't play, and he would be forgotten on the court once he played.
No way, the Lakers' bench is really too lacking in vitality.
Ebanks, who played well in the preseason, couldn't stand it in the regular season.
The defense is really bad, and people are blinded as soon as they play, and their positioning and supplementary defense are not at the same level as Li Liang.
Sure enough, strength is the only criterion for testing a player's technical and tactical level.
Li Liang sat on the bench and drank a lot of water. The confrontation with Paul exhausted him a lot of energy.
Still, this matchup is a bonus for him.
You can always learn a lot by fighting against the masters.
At this time, the game between the Lakers and the Clippers continued.
Both sides played from the bench, the Lakers rotated 9 people, while Negro started the rotation with 11 people.
One is because the Clippers do have a lot of players who can play. There are Odom, Crawford, Barnes, Turiaf, Hollins, Bledsoe and many other powerful players on the bench.
The second is that Negro's style is to expand the rotation, use more substitutes, change the rhythm, and like the feeling of commanding on the spot.
Mike Brown is relatively conservative. These two styles have their own advantages and disadvantages. The key depends on who can win.
It depends on the player.
The main players rested off the court, and the substitutes launched a confrontation on the court.
The Clippers were led by Crawford, while Jamison and Metta Shiping charged for the Lakers.
The field fell into chaos for a while, and the score rose alternately.
Ci Shiping does not play the starting lineup with a substitute, the effect is actually very good.
He was originally a relatively all-round player, with breakthroughs, shots, three-pointers, and strong attacks at the basket.
It's just that he's getting older, his defense has degraded, and his outside shooting is very poor.
If the inside line is cleared, Howard and Gasol are not there, he is still very powerful with the ball and rushing in alone.
After three games, Mike Brown already had the idea of letting Ci Shiping play the sixth man.
It's just that he has relatively high qualifications, so he still cracks down on fake starts.
Fortunately, Mike Brown knew that Ci Shiping had a bad temper, but he admired and liked Li Liang very much.
The two have a good relationship in private, and there is no problem of competing for position.
It touches Gasol and Howard to Mike - Brown more headaches.
Howard's style is destined to make Gasol play more uncomfortable, but he can't put Gasol on the bench in vain.
Difficult, really difficult.
The fourth quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and the two sides were inseparable. At 90:88, the Clippers were still 2 points behind.
Mike Brown took the lead in calling a timeout, replaced the substitute, replaced the main force, and had a decisive battle with the Clippers!
The atmosphere in Staples has reached a peak. Everyone knows that the climax of the game is coming.
Who will win? Who is the real king of Los Angeles?
The main players of both sides re-appeared, and the Clippers still kept Crawford on the court.
Although his defense is really bad, the offense cannot do without him.
Otherwise, the outside line only relies on Paul as a ball-holding point, and it will be very troublesome to be pegged in the third quarter.
For the Lakers, Morris is off and Li Liang is on.
The same as the final lineup when playing the Blazers in the last game, the lineup of three forwards.
Kobe played point guard and controlled the offense.
Li Liang and Ci Shiping form a double gate, and keeping Li Liang on the court at the same time is also a very threatening three-pointer.
In the last 7 minutes or so, the Lakers served the bottom line.
Kobe dribbled the ball halfway, and Paul directly matched up with Kobe.
Li Liang wanted to come over to cover him, but Kobe waved his hand to signal Li Liang to get out of the way.
This is Paul, and Kobe is going to compete with Paul.
Even when Karl Malone came to pick and roll, Kobe could let him go, let alone Li Liang?
But Li Liang won't leave!
He stuck to the middle to screen for Kobe.
Kobe insisted not to use Li Liang's cover.
He dribbled the ball directly from the left to accelerate, which was equivalent to a false screen, and entered the three-second zone from the middle.
The Clippers' defense shrunk, and Kobe turned around and passed the ball to the outside.
At the top of the arc, Li Liang just caught the ball.
There was no one in front of him, so he wouldn't be polite, so he opened his hand and made a three-pointer!
"Shua!"
A neat goal!
Kobe contributed his second assist of the game.
"I said, you don't need to cover, I said." Kobe ran back to the backcourt and showed off to Li Liang.
Li Liang didn't hesitate to ignore him, and scored a goal anyway.
This is Li Liang's second three-pointer, plus a fast break and a foul after an offensive rebound, he scored 10 points.
Double!
It's a pity that the system didn't respond at all. Why didn't I get an achievement for scoring double digits and let me draw a prize?
Just thinking about the lottery, Chris Paul has launched a quick counterattack.
Paul is a very smart player, he knows the importance of rhythm.
After being shot a three-pointer and the point difference was opened to 5 points, he immediately turned around and made a singles to the basket.
It caused Howard's foul and made a free throw to the free throw line.
Scoring points from the free throw line is the safest, and it can suppress the rhythm.
Paul sensed that the Lakers wanted momentum.
Howard looked a little depressed after the foul.
His performance today was mediocre and he didn't get any offensive opportunities.
In the last game, he scored 30 points and scored 30 points. Today, he only got 6 shots.
Fouls have reached 5 times, because Paul's organization is too permeable, and there are always loopholes inside.
Paul made two free throws and the point difference remained at three points.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe still controls the ball, and he seems confident.
As the saying goes, with one ball in hand, there is nothing in the world.
Kobe is still better at playing with the ball, this time he did not refuse Li Liang's pick and roll.
Anyway, Howard doesn't like to come out to cover, so let Li Liang be the wall.
The significance of Li Liang's wall is that his external threat is great.
There are Howard and Gasol on the inside. If Li Liang cuts in, the inside will be too crowded.
He cut out and made a good three-pointer, which greatly expanded the Lakers' offensive space.
Kobe directly dribbled the ball in after the pick-and-roll. Facing Jordan who was defending, he accelerated and changed direction, and then succeeded in a one-armed dunk!
After scoring the goal, Kobe roared, hammered his chest hard, and pulled his jersey.
He seemed to be saying, I am the king of Los Angeles!
The Lakers fans at the scene paid homage to their dynasty with cheers.
Li Liang shook his head, thinking that he was not steady, not steady at all.
Pompous, frivolous.
But this ball gave the Lakers a huge boost to their momentum.
The Clippers immediately returned one. Paul and Griffin made a high pick-and-roll. After Griffin went down, he received a pass from Paul and also blasted the basket with one arm!
Although his arms are short, he can jump high!
The emerging force in Los Angeles flexes its muscles to the old king.
Howard was afraid to defend easily because of five fouls on his back.
The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and the physical confrontation became stronger and stronger.
Bryant was already red-eyed, he broke into the inside to score consecutively, and also caused Griffin's foul.
And Paul is still calmly controlling the field, passing the ball, and assisting.
But the balance of victory is falling to the Los Angeles Lakers.
With 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Lakers led the Clippers by 5 points at 101:96.
Negro called a timeout, and he wanted to set up an offense.
5 points, if you score, there will be more games, if you can't score, the situation will be more dangerous.
This situation is similar to the last Blazers game against the Lakers.
It's a critical defensive moment again.
From the beginning of the fourth quarter, the task of defending Paul has been transferred to Bryant's head.
After all, he is the Lakers' best perimeter defender, a viper who is good at biting opponents on both ends of the floor.
The 34-year-old Kobe reached the critical moment of the game and raised his defensive level to the state of the 24-year-old.
Paul VS Kobe, the two met in the playoffs two years ago.
At that time, the Lakers were at the end of their strength and still had strength, while Paul was at his peak, but the Hornets had already passed away.
In the series, Paul did everything a point guard can do, and the Hornets still lost the game.
This series made Kobe feel what it means to "the team won but I didn't win."
Kobe focused on Paul with all his strength. His movement speed was higher than Li Liang's, his center of gravity was lower, and he was more aggressive.
Griffin and Jordan stepped forward to double screen for Paul. Paul walked to the middle, and Kobe chased desperately.
The actions of both sides were not small, but the referee did not call a foul, and let the superstars of both sides decide the trend of the game.
Paul went in from the middle, and Kobe followed!
Paul stepped back with the ball for a jumper, but Bryant's arm covered it.
In the air, Paul felt that the ball was about to be blocked, and immediately used his waist to twist the ball to pass it out.
The Lakers are empty in the middle, and Griffin has already cut in.
Catch the ball and it's another basket bombing.
But Li Liang appeared between Paul and Griffin!
The ball was broken by him!
With a touch of his hand, the ball flew straight to the baseline.
Seeing that he was about to go out of bounds, Li Liang flew to save the ball and threw it back to Howard!
Then he rushed directly to the auditorium, knocking down a cameraman and knocking down two spectators.
But he was fine and got up immediately.
He could hear the cheers from the fans around him.
The Lakers have launched a counterattack, and he must keep up.
Kobe dribbled the ball to the three-point line, one swayed past others, and another passed.
Then Kobe made a sideways fadeaway jump shot from 10 feet away!
The pose is picturesque.
"Too Nima! Breakthrough!"
When Li Liang followed from behind, he couldn't help shouting when he saw Kobe chose to shoot.
Sure enough, the ball missed, and Howard who followed behind grabbed the offensive rebound, but still missed the tip!
There is a group of scrambling under the basket, the ball is flying in the sky, and there are a lot of hands below.
I don't know who pulled the ball out, and it flew into the hands of Li Liang on the outside line impartially.
People stand outside, the ball comes from the sky!
Of course Li Liang would not let go of such an opportunity, I voted for it!
Just now Kobe was told not to shoot to let him suddenly, he took the ball and threw it away.
Don't even say stop, organize an attack, and waste time.
But there is no way, who made him accurate three-pointers?
87's three-pointer, plus the "Ray Allen's zero-second shot" bonus, as well as touch runes, and just the right state!
The ball hits the center of the basket!
Three points hit!
After scoring the goal, Li Liang raised his right hand high and made a three-point gesture!
The jubilation at Staples Center was deafening.
Who is the King of Los Angeles?
it's me!
At this moment, Li Liang said loudly to himself in his heart.
Three days and five shifts are completed, please ask for a monthly ticket. After that, it will be three shifts a day normally.
