Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Chapter 252 Playing with momentum

It's normal for Magic Johnson to be intimidated by Boston Garden.

He was only 25 years old that year, and he became famous as a teenager, the favorite of heaven, loved by the whole world, except Bostonians.

He was too proud, too nervous, and his psychological defenses were broken.

In history, on that painful night in 1984, because there were no red-eye flights, he watched Boston's championship parade in the hotel.

Accompanying him are only good friends Isaiah Thomas and Mark Aguilar.

This is the price any superstar has to pay for growing up. He was really smooth in the past few years.

The rookie won the championship and FMVP, easily overwhelmed the old man Norm Nixon in the team, drove away coach Paul Westhead, and signed a 25-year super long-term contract of 25 million.

He accomplished what other players could not accomplish in his lifetime early on, and the rest is fighting with himself and Bird.

He was afraid of failure, of losing to Bird in this crucial, decisive battle.

He's been a winner before.

Win the NCAA championship, get the championship first, and get the FMVP first.

Only the regular season MVP and the comments in the media, he is at a disadvantage.

If he wins this championship, won't he surpass Bird?

But he made mistakes, one after another, fatal mistakes.

They shouldn't have played the tiebreaker, should have ended the series early, and shouldn't have challenged the undefeated Celtics in the tiebreaker...

Too much should not be, until the start of the seventh game, his mind was still thinking about the two free throws in the fourth game.

So his mind is insensitive and lacks fighting spirit.

But Li Liang is different!

He entered this task, although he was psychologically burdened, because he only had one chance.

But would he be afraid of Boston Garden Square?

I have done meritorious service for Kaizi, and I have sweated for Kaizi!

I talked and laughed with Auerbach, I fought side by side with Russell, I was Havlicek's role model, and I was Maravich's savior!

You group of fans who turn their faces and deny people, dare to spray on me?

I can't scold you to death!

In the real world, Li Liang, who was too embarrassed to scold others because he was too popular, opened up his scolding at the Boston Garden this time!

He stood on the sidelines, no matter what happened, and crazily exchanged trash talk with the Celtics fans in the front row.

No player has ever been at Boston Garden like this.

Li Liang has no fear, a group of NPCs, am I still afraid of you?

He is a person from the Internet age in the 21st century. He is quite proficient in all kinds of "civilized language", and he has read all kinds of trash talk.

Even if the Celtics fans have a large number of fans, Li Liang is not at a disadvantage.

After scolding, the referees on the technical stage and the scene came to dissuade him.

Li Liangdao: "The competition hasn't started yet, there is no rule against cursing people, right?"

The people at the technical desk explained repeatedly, hoping that he would remain restrained and calm.

Li Liang just wanted to shut up, but the Celtics fans yelled at him again, Li Liang angrily said: "You scold me again!"

So, he started yelling again.

Now the Lakers couldn't stand it anymore, Pat Riley came over and hugged Li Liang, saying: "Focus on the game, don't waste your saliva."

Li Liangdao: "I'm not wasting my saliva. I want to tell the players that there is nothing to be afraid of here! They are just a little more crowded. Can these fans play? The opponent is five people, and we are also five people. We can win !"

Li Liang's words gave the Lakers players a shot in the arm.

There was a little blankness in Magic Johnson's eyes.

Of course Li Liang didn't scold in vain, he gained tens of thousands of anger points in this wave!

Haha, it seems that in the system, Boston Garden is still his blessed place.

Although he often plays games in the system on behalf of the Celtics, Li Liang will not show mercy to the Celtics when it comes to Lakers missions.

In his heart, he does not belong to any team, he only belongs to himself and the fans who like him.

...

After a scolding meal, Li Liang felt comfortable, and the game was about to start.

Putting on sexy shorts again, this time Li Liang replaced Rambis on the stage.

In the fourth game, Rambis was touched by McHale's clothes hanger, which changed the trend of the entire game and even the entire series.

Li Liang's role as the team's power forward this time is to help the Lakers get back in this position.

Rambis, who wears glasses on weekdays and is known as a court servant, is the most mediocre of the Lakers' starting five.

The other four positions, three champions, plus one Cooper, are all at the All-Star level.

The game is about to start, and the Celtics' starters are Larry Bird, Parish, Maxwell, Henderson and Dennis Johnson.

Li Liang walked up to Bird and said, "The magician told me that he will beat your blood mother to explode in this match, and win the cup in the garden square."

Bird cast a sideways glance at Li Liang and said, "Why don't the cowards speak for themselves."

Li Liangdao: "Because he doesn't bother to talk to you."

After finishing speaking, Li Liang ran to Magic Johnson and said, "Larry just said you are a coward."

The magician said, "He's the coward, just wait and see."

Johnson's complexion was obviously much better than before the start of the game, and he was much more relaxed.

The scene where Li Liang scolded the Celtics fans just now was also to vent his anger on the Lakers players and give them a psychological massage.

At the start of the game, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Parish jumped the ball.

The Celtics got the offensive right to open the game.

The decibels of the scene reached the highest level, and this is destined to be a noisy battle.

On the first ball, Bird rushed inside with the ball from the wing, missed, got an offensive rebound and made a basket with his left hand.

The Celtics hit the first goal of the game.

Then, Johnson missed a jumper from the outside, the Celtics counterattacked, and Dennis Johnson made a throw on the board!

The Celtics quickly gained the upper hand, and the roof of Boston Garden was about to fall over.

But the Lakers responded quickly. They made a super long pass. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar caught the ball in the frontcourt and made a layup, which also caused a foul by Henderson.

The Lakers' quick counterattack is a notch faster than all teams.

Their passing is extremely tacit, and the counterattack is very fast, especially Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Don't look at him as a 2.18-meter center forward, he is very fast.

He must get the ball quickly, and the opponent can't resist it at all.

Of course, one reason he is so fast is that he doesn't return to defense...

A free throw was made and the score became 4:3.

The Lakers are quick to chase points.

Then, Dennis Johnson broke through the inside of the offense again, causing a foul by James Worthy.

It can be seen that the Celtics played very fiercely, and their strategy is very clear, which is to defeat the Lakers both mentally and physically.

After Worthy fouled, he lowered his head and raised his hands, claiming the foul.

Li Liang rushed forward and took Worthy's hand off, saying: "What kind of hand do you raise, the referee calls you a foul and you foul it?"

Then, Li Liang beeped at the referee, insisting that the ball was not fouled.

In fact, the ball was an obvious foul, but Li Liang wanted to fight for three points even if it was unreasonable.

Worthy's mistake in the second game also had a great psychological impact on him.

Li Liang knew that he came not only to help the team on the court, but also in morale.

The Lakers are already superior in strength. As long as they have no mental problems, they will definitely be able to defeat their opponents in Boston Garden Plaza.

Li Liang's argument was of course meaningless, but there was no zero tolerance at that time, so Li Liang did not receive a technical foul.

Standing on the court and watching Dennis Johnson make free throws, Li Liang said to Worthy: "Don't bow your head, we will win! We are stronger, why don't we win!"

Dennis Johnson made two free throws.

The Lakers attacked, first the ball was knocked out of the baseline, and then Cooper missed a long shot from the outside.

But Li Liang grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket!

His layup caused Parish's foul, free throw!

Free throws are points for Li Liang, and he made two free throws.

Then the two sides began to fight continuously, and the shooting percentage from the outside was very low.

The Celtics didn't feel the same way. Bird missed a jumper from the outside and Henderson missed a shot.

Li Liang got the backcourt rebound, the magician and Cooper made a double cooperation, and Cooper caught the ball and dunked successfully!

Go-ahead, the Lakers go-ahead by 1 point.

The Celtics' offense is still stagnant. In fact, this is the case throughout the finals. They always start behind.

It's just that the Lakers will be caught up by the Celtics later, which is entirely a psychological problem.

Then, the Celtics still missed, the Lakers counterattacked, and Li Liang got a chance to catch the ball and layup, but the referee gave them a three-second blow.

Li Liang rushed forward and yelled at the referee, saying why did I take three seconds? Did you count the seconds? Is your time Earth time? Have you checked your watch? Are you counting correctly?

The referee was confused by Li Liang's spray, and reacted and gave Li Liang a technical foul.

There were boos and cheers after seeing the technical foul.

Bird was going to the free throw line.

Pat Riley reminded Li Liang to control his emotions on the sidelines.

In fact, Li Liang controlled his emotions very well. The reason why he did this was to mobilize the emotions of the whole team.

Comrades, get excited, there are tens of thousands of people in the audience, and no one supports us.

If we don't support ourselves, argue and cheer for ourselves, who else can we rely on?

Li Liang's efforts were effective, and the Lakers players slowly came out of the tight bondage before the game.

The most stable person is still Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. As long as he is there, the Lakers' offense is guaranteed.

Then there was Worthy, who played harder and harder.

The magician has not recovered yet, and he is obviously hesitant on the court.

His passing is still very sharp and beautiful, but he doesn't rebound and he makes a lot of turnovers.

By the end of the first quarter, he had already committed three turnovers.

The two sides drew at 30:30.

Riley didn't dare to let Johnson rest more and kept him on the court.

Li Liang came down to rest for a while, and Kupchak replaced him.

After a while, in the second quarter, McHale appeared.

Li Liang got up immediately: "Swap me to play!"

Riley took a look and said, "Calm down, calm down, you've already committed a technical foul."

Li Liangdao: "I asked you to replace me because I was calm, Kupchak can't do it!"

In this game, every score and offense and defense are very important. He has to play to teach McHale a lesson before the Lakers can completely wake up.

Li Liang kept nagging behind Riley, Riley finally couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to punish Li Liang.

In the end he succumbed and replaced Li Liang Rambis on the free throw.

As soon as Li Liang came on stage, he saw McHale and said, "Long time no see, Kevin."

McHale said in later recollections that he didn't mean it at the time, but just felt like there was something to do.

Otherwise he should use this move against Magic or Worthy, not Rambis.

But whether it was deliberate or not, McHale's dangerous move hurt Rambis and had an impact on the situation.

Since Li Liang appeared on the stage on behalf of Rambis, he will find this place back.

"Be careful with Kevin." Li Liang "reminded" McHale.

In fact, Li Liang wouldn't do anything to McHale. He had already committed a technical foul and he couldn't be fined.

Li Liang is a kind of psychological deterrent, which makes McHale afraid.

It's like the Lakers' fear of the Celtics' three-second zone in Game 4.

Without violence, Li Liang has other ways to deal with McHale.

In the middle of the second quarter, the two sides played almost out of order.

Rush inside, grab rebounds, and fight for every ball, which is just one word "fight".

It's really hard work, a game of life and death is a test of the player's will and quality.

The Celtics began to take advantage of the field, and Dennis Johnson rushed inside without fear.

The Celtics took the lead.

At this time, Li Liang got an open opportunity on the outside - although in the eyes of others, this is not an opportunity.

Even in 1984, the fifth season in which the three-point shot appeared, it was still very unpopular.

In this game in history, only Michael Cooper hit two three-pointers.

The Celtics didn't make a single three-pointer, they only made two shots, and they were forced to.

The Celtics never thought about using three-pointers to win.

It seems that this time and space is not affected by the "Maravich time and space".

Then I, Li Liang, will influence you!

Li Liang-Rambis took the ball from the outside, and others thought he was going to pass, but he directly shot a three-pointer!

Pat Riley was stunned, and the obscenity was about to blurt out.

Then I saw the ball go in!

Really went in, a very beautiful hollow three-pointer.

The sound at the scene suddenly became much quieter.

Everyone thought it was luck, but it wasn't over yet.

Then, Li Liang crouched in the bottom corner, and the Lakers couldn't open the inside line, so the pass could only be passed to Li Liang.

I still thought he couldn't shoot, so Li Liang had plenty of time to aim...and hit again!

This is over, the Lakers overtook!

Two unexpected three-pointers suddenly allowed the Lakers to reverse the situation.

KC-Jones could only call a timeout, and the Lakers players came over to hug Li Liang.

Li Liang gave Magic Johnson a kick and said: "I can make shots, why don't you dare to make shots, why can't you make shots? Play with momentum!"

A smile appeared on Johnson's face for the first time tonight, "I can make it, don't worry."

At this time, on the sidelines, in the audience, the young David Stern was sitting in the front position to watch the game.

At that time, his hair was still gray, with a mustache, and he had just become the league president on February 1 of this year.

Sitting next to him is the previous president, the name of the championship trophy, Larry O'Brien.

It will be the first championship under Stern.

Historically, in 1985 after the Celtics won the championship, Stern officially succeeded and began to carry out drastic reforms to the NBA, and by the way suppressed the Celtics who were too prosperous.

He does not allow monopolies to emerge.

When Stern saw Li Liang Rambis' goal and the change in the situation, some of his original thoughts might change.
