Chapter 117: King of Los Angeles

The zero-sum game of basketball is destined to kill you on the court.
No matter how intimate it is on the court, when you reach the court, you must look down on the opponent as an enemy.
As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons on the course... No, there is no brother on the course.
The most famous example is the 1988 NBA Finals. Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas, who are in close relations with each other, have to routinely embrace each other before the first few games of the finals.
But when the game went deeper and the two sides played more and more fiercely, this intimacy made them feel sick.
Later, they lost contact for quite some time and did not recover until the end of the finals.
These superstars from the United States have just formed a team in London to win the championship.
Kobe Bryant and Paul are both competitive and victorious, and in Los Angeles, they must definitely secretly compete.
Kobe is far ahead in honor and is a well-deserved son of Los Angeles.
And Paul wins at a young age, he has the opportunity to catch up with Kobe, although it is difficult to achieve Kobe's achievements.
At the end of the third quarter, the two sides became 80:77 and the Lakers led the game.
Clippers coach Negro felt a headache.
I thought the third quarter would be when the team started.
But the team's momentum was cut off by the 28th kid and Bryant.
Li Liang fouled Paul on the defensive end, as well as close defense, which made the Clippers' offensive efficiency drop.
Except for 9:2 at the beginning of the third quarter, there has been no continuous output.
Kobe regained his status after a period of low attack.
In Los Angeles, he did not want to easily give up the crown of the city king.
He played fiercely and aggressively tonight, not Kobe who had been playing the ball in the first two games.
That is a fake Kobe, this is the real Kobe.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was placed on the bench by Mike Brown.
He needs a break.
In these three games, Li Liang didn't play, but he would be forgotten on the court as soon as he played.
No way, the Lakers' bench is really lacking in vitality.
Ibanks, who played well in the preseason, couldn't withstand the regular season.
Defensive is really not possible, as soon as the players are on the court, standing, making up defense, and Li Liang are not at the same level.
Sure enough, the intensity is the only standard to check the player's technical and tactical level.
Li Liang took a big sip of water on the bench and confronted Paul with a lot of energy.
However, this matchup is a harvest for him.
I have learned a lot from masters.
At this time, the game between the Lakers and the Clippers continued.
Both teams played off the bench. The Lakers turned 9 players, while Negro opened 11 players.
First, because the Clippers can play more people, Odom, Crawford, Barnes, Turiaf, Hollins, Bledsoe and many other powerful players are sitting on the bench.
Second, Negro's style is to like to expand the rotation, use more benches, change the rhythm, and like the feeling of commanding on the spot.
Mike Brown is relatively conservative. Both styles have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on who wins.
It depends on the players.
The main force rested off the court, and the substitutes launched an attack on the court.
The Clippers are led by Crawford, and the Lakers charge Jamison and Ci Shiping.
There was a chaotic battle on the field and the score rose alternately.
Ci Shiping does not play with a substitute, the effect is actually very good.
He was originally a more versatile player, with breakthroughs, shots, three-pointers, and strong offense under the basket.
It's just that he's getting older, his defense is deteriorating, and he can't shoot outside.
If the inside line is clear, Howard and Gasol are not present. He takes the ball and rushes in. It is still very powerful.
After three games, Mike Brown had the idea of ​​letting Ci Shiping play the sixth man.
It's just that his seniority is relatively high, so he still fights fakes.
Fortunately, Mike Brown knew that Ci Shiping had a bad temper, but he appreciated and liked Li Liang.
The two have a good relationship in private, and there is no problem of arguing for position.
Gasol and Howard gave Mike Brown a headache.
Howard's style is destined to make Gasol uncomfortable, but he cannot put Gasol on the bench in vain.
Hard, really hard.
In the fourth quarter, it took more than 4 minutes. The two sides were difficult to solve, 90:88, and the Clippers were 2 points behind.
Mike Brown took the lead to call a timeout, replaced the bench, replaced the main force, and played a decisive battle with the Clippers!
The atmosphere of Stamps has reached a peak, and everyone knows that the game is coming.
Who will kill the deer? Who is the real king of Los Angeles?
The main force of both sides re-appeared, and the Clippers still left Crawford on the field.
Although his defense is not good, but his offense is inseparable from him.
Otherwise, the outside line only relies on Paul to hold the ball. It is troublesome to be caught in the third quarter.
On the Lakers side, Morris came off and Li Liang appeared.
Like the last lineup when the Trail Blazers were opened last time, the lineup of the three forwards.
Kobe plays the point guard and controls the offense.
Li Liang and Ci Shiping formed a double gate, and leaving Li Liang on the court was also a threatening three point.
In the last 7 minutes, the Lakers served the bottom line.
Kobe Bryant dribble over half, Paul directly and Kobe match.
Li Liang wanted to come over as a cover, Bryant waved his hand directly, beckoning Li Liang to let go.
This is Paul, and Kobe will fight Paul.
Even when Karl Malone came to pick and roll, Kobe could let him off, not to mention Li Liang?
But Li Liang will not get away!
He insisted to cover Bryant to the middle.
Kobe insisted not to use Li Liang's cover.
He directly dribble the ball from the left to accelerate, which is equivalent to a fake screen, from the middle to the three-second zone.
The Clippers defense line shrank, and Kobe turned back with a pass to the outside.
At the top of the arc, Li Liang happened to catch the ball.
No one was in front of him. He wouldn't be polite.
"Uh!"
A straightforward goal!
Kobe contributed his second assist in this game.
"I said it, without your cover, I said it." Bryant ran back to the backcourt and flaunted Li Liang.
Li Liang did not hesitate to take care of him and scored anyway.
This was Li Liang's second 3-pointer, plus a fast break, and a foul after a front-court rebound. He scored 10 points.
Go double!
It's a pity that the system didn't respond at all. Why didn't you score a double-double without giving an achievement and let me draw a prize?
Thinking about the draw, Chris Paul has launched a quick counterattack.
Paul is a very smart player, he knows the importance of rhythm.
After being hit with a three-pointer, the difference between points was opened to 5 points, he immediately turned back to a singles under the basket.
Caused a foul by Howard and took a free throw line.
Taking points on the free throw line is the most secure and can beat the rhythm.
Paul felt that the Lakers wanted to start.
Howard looked foul after the foul.
Today his performance was average and he didn't get any offensive opportunities.
In the last game, he also killed the Quartet and scored 0 points. Today, he only won 6 mobile phone meetings.
The foul has reached 5 times, because Paul's organization is too permeable, and there are always loopholes inside.
Paul made all two free throws, keeping the point difference at three points.
The Lakers still have Kobe's ball control, and he seems to be in the chest.
As the saying goes, there is no ball in the hand.
Kobe is still better at playing ball, this time he did not refuse Li Liang's pick-and-roll.
Anyway, Howard did not like to come out as a cover, then let Li Liang do the wall.
The significance of Li Liang's making a wall is that his external threat is great.
There are Howard and Gasol inside. If Li Liang cuts further, it will be too crowded.
He cut out and made a good three-pointer, which greatly expanded the Lakers' offensive space.
Kobe Bryant dribble the ball directly after the pick-and-roll, facing the small Jordan who came to the defense, an accelerated change of direction passed, and then a single-arm dunk succeeded!
Kobe roared after scoring a goal, 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 worshiped their king with cheers.
Li Liang shook his head, his mind was not stable, and he was not stable at all.
Exaggerated, frivolous.
But this ball has given the Lakers a huge boost.
The Clippers immediately returned one, Paul and Griffin high pick-and-roll, Griffin went down and received Paul's pass, the same single-armed basket!
Although he has short arms, he jumps high!
The new power of Los Angeles showed his muscles to the old king.
Howard was afraid to defend easily because of five fouls on his back.
The more intense the fights on both sides, the stronger the physical confrontation.
Kobe has already scuttled his eyes. He continuously scored inside and scored a foul.
And Paul is still calmly controlling the field, passing and assisting.
But the winning balance was falling towards the Los Angeles Lakers.
Two minutes before the end of the game, the Lakers 101:96, 5 points ahead of the Clippers.
Negro called for a timeout and he wanted to set up an attack.
If you score 5 points, there will be others. If you don’t, you will be in a more dangerous situation.
This situation is almost the same as the last Blazers playing the Lakers.
It's time for a defensive moment again.
From the fourth quarter, the important task of defending Paul has shifted to Kobe.
After all, he is the Lakers' best outside defender, a viper that is good at biting opponents on offense and defense.
At the critical moment of the game, Kobe Bryant, 4 years old, raised his defensive rating to the state he was at 24 years old.
Paul vs Kobe, the two met in the playoffs two years ago.
At that time, the Lakers were at the end of the crossbow, and their strength was still there. While Paul was at the peak, the Hornets were already tomorrow.
In the series, Paul did everything a point guard could do, but the Hornets lost the game.
In this series, Kobe felt what was called "The team won and I didn't win."
Kobe Bryant is staring at Paul with all his strength. His movement rate can be higher than Li Liang, the center of gravity is lower, and it is more aggressive.
Griffin and Jordan stepped forward to give Paul a double screen. Paul walked towards the middle and Kobe was desperately chased.
The movements of both sides are not small, but the referee did not play fouls, let the two superstars decide the game trend.
Paul was killed from the middle, and Kobe kept up!
Paul withdrew the ball and wanted to make a jumper, but Kobe's arm covered him.
In the air, Paul felt that the ball was going to be covered and immediately used his waist to twist the ball out.
The Lakers' middle road was so empty that Griffin had cut in.
Receiving the ball is another rim bombing.
But Li Liang appeared between Paul and Griffin!
The ball was broken by him!
He used his hand a little bit ~EbookFREE.me~ The ball flew directly to the bottom line.
Seeing to be out of bounds, Li Liangfei saved the ball and threw the ball back to Howard!
Then others rushed directly to the auditorium, knocked down a photographer and knocked over two audiences.
But he was fine and immediately got up.
He could hear the cheering of fans around him.
The Lakers have launched a counterattack, and he must keep up.
Kobe Bryant dribble to the three-point line, a shoulder dagger, another one.
Then Kobe made a sideways jump shot at a distance of 10 feet!
Picturesque posture.
"Vote for Nima! Breakthrough!"
When Li Liang caught up from behind, he could not help shouting when he saw Bryant choose to shoot.
The ball missed, and Howard, who was following, grabbed the offensive rebound and missed the layup!
The ball rushed to make a ball, the ball flew in the sky, a bunch of hands below.
I don't know who put the ball out, and flew into the hands of Li Liang outside.
People are standing outside, the ball comes from the sky!
Of course, Li Liang will not let this opportunity pass, and I voted!
Just told Kobe not to throw him up, he threw the ball himself.
Not to mention stopping, organizing an attack, and consuming some time.
But there is no way, who will make him accurate three-pointers?
The three-pointer of 87, plus the addition of "Ray Allen's zero second shot" bonus, as well as the feel rune, and the right condition!
The ball is in the center of the basket!
Three hits!
After the goal, Li Liang raised his right hand and made a three-point gesture!
The Temples Center was jubilant and deafening.
Who is the king of Los Angeles?
it's me!
At this moment, Li Liang said loudly to himself.
