Chapter 158: milestone

The Hornets are a fateful team. They joined the league in 1988 and belong to a team with a younger history.
They were originally in Charlotte, then New Orleans, and later they went to Oklahoma because of the typhoon, and now they have returned to their hometown in the South.
In fact, there is no shortage of stars in the history of the Hornets. Since entering the league, they can always choose a very good player.
Mourning, Larry Johnson, Byron Davis, Chris Paul, and David West are all prominent players in the league.
But the problem is that the Hornets can't keep people.
Every star who grew up with them eventually traveled far away and shined in other cities.
Mourning got the championship retired jersey in the Heat, Larry Johnson scored a quarter-final in New York, Byron Davis in the Warriors Black eight, Chris Paul went to the Clippers to open up a new situation, David Wei Sturt went to the Pacers to help take off.
The Hornets have always had good luck in the draft, and they also have a good vision. Every time they pick a high draft rookie, they can play.
Therefore, in the end, the Hornets always make wedding dresses for others.
One was sent, and a group of new recruits were introduced. A few more will be sent in a few years.
Therefore, in association with the glorious history of the Hornets, Li Liang was very worried about his younger brother Anthony Davis.
I don't know how long he can stay in New Orleans, can he break the embarrassing situation that the Hornets can't retire without a shirt.
After the Hornets got the No. 1 pick this season, their fate was no better than before.
The reason is injury.
In addition to Anthony Davis, their main shooting guard Eric Gordon also watched from a knee injury.
Two generals, one inside and one outside, were injured. The Hornets' strength was not strong enough. Who can stand this record?
But after the game started, the Hornets played well, and the offense and defense were quite regular.
The Hornets have Robin Lopez inside, taking a one-on-one defense against Dwight Howard.
Li Liang started to feed Howard on the outside and played Lopez twice.
As a result, one hook hit and one was waited by Lopez hat!
Turning his head, the Hornets pushed back well.
Now the entire league knows that to fight the Lakers do not fight for positions, but to fight back quickly.
The Hornets' defender Vazquez continuously used his personal abilities to make shots and mid-range jumpers to help the Hornets temporarily lead.
Then Ci Shiping accepted the pass and wanted to force a layup after sliding the bottom line.
Robin Lopez stood at the rim and didn't jump. He reached Ci Shiping's layup and reached down.
Ci Shiping did not open Lopez for a long time. He lost weight in the summer, which caused the ability of the inside to resist.
After Lopez took the ball off, some annoying Ci Shiping desperately snatched it from the rear.
The two were entangled, and finally the referee played Ci Shiping's foul.
Ci Shiping looked very annoyed. When he lost weight, he felt that the Lakers had Howard and Gasol inside, so he had to be more flexible.
I didn't expect flexibility, but I couldn't carry it anymore.
Then, the Hornets Vazquez easily broke into the inside, Nash's defense is too easy to pass.
Li Liang had to shrink to help, Vazquez scored a goal to Ryan Anderson.
Anderson made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball and made a jump shot from within the three-point line.
The ball enters the net hollowly and the shot is quite smooth.
The Hornets started the Lakers with an 8:2 start. Mike Brown sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He knew the players would adjust.
Next, Kobe's performance...
Kobe Bryant dribble the ball for half, and with the help of Li Liang's cover, the left horn is directly pulled out of the jumper!
"Wow!" Don't enter, one iron.
In the counterattack of the Hornets, Li Liang fought up and chased directly against Vazquez, then Ci Shiping came up and fought, and the two broke the ball.
Li Liang took the ball and passed it to Kobe. Kobe was unguarded before receiving the ball. He didn't run back to defend.
Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, open shot!
"Wow!" Not yet! Another iron!
Li Liang had no kitchen knife in his waist and threw it directly at Kobe.
Are you wasting the opportunities that Lao Tzu created for you?
Kobe wants to say that there is no pressure in his heart is definitely false, after all, a milestone of 30,000 points is before us.
What is the concept of 30,000 points? The only people who can do it in NBA history are Jabal, Jordan, Chamberlain and Malone.
For more than 60 years in the NBA, many superstars shine, but only four people have achieved a career of 30,000 points.
This is a comprehensive test that requires not only scoring ability, but also long endurance and long-term stability.
Even great players like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Duncan and others can't do this.
Kobe Bryant is only 15 points away from this great honor. Can you say he can not be nervous?
"What are you throwing blindly? What did you throw at the beginning of the game? Your physical strength is so good, you don't know how to rush? Now when you don't rush, rush in the fourth quarter? Are you able to rush? Are you back? ..."
Regardless of whether Li Liangke is 30,000 to 30,000 points, it is a criticism to catch Kobe.
As the team leader, Bryant is indeed more willful, of course, his ability is also strong.
? A person came out to remind him that it was good to manage him.
The Lakers didn't take advantage of the two offensive opportunities. Anderson seized the opportunity on the bottom line and shot directly after catching the ball.
Anderson's mid-range shooting is indeed very accurate.
Kobe Bryant said to Li Liang when he served the bottom line: "Take care of your people, don't keep losing!"
Oh, Kobe still has a grudge, seizing the opportunity to criticize Li Liang for not defending well.
But Li Liang was right, he did not follow tightly with Anderson.
He hasn't stepped out of the last game with the Rockets. Anderson and the Rockets play completely differently.
He is purely a space-pull type projection power forward, which is similar to Li Liang's play on the offensive end.
However, his shooting skills are more sophisticated, basically any angle and distance can be shot, especially some long two-pointers.
But one of the advantages of playing against Anderson is that you don't have to worry about oppressive defense. Li Liang can hold the ball on the offensive end.
There is a chance for Howard inside. Li Liang hangs the ball to Howard. Howard directly turns and catches the ball, left hand with one hand!
Lopez was caught off guard by Howard.
But then, Lopez and Vazquez pick and roll cooperation, catch the ball and succeed.
The Lakers' defense tonight is a bit loose. There is no way for the elderly team to play back-to-back games again.
They have not been training for two days. The last game was fierce with the Rockets. The physical exertion was relatively large, and the defense was inevitably affected.
Their top priority is to get back the offensive state.
After Gasol was injured, Li Liang not only had a heavy task on the defensive end, but also had more tasks to cope with on the offensive end.
I used to play the bench before, but occasionally took the ball to organize it.
Gasol was injured, Li Liang basically came out every time offensive to Kobe, Nash pick-and-roll, cover, and respond after receiving the ball.
This is a great test of his passing stability, he had two pass errors in the first half.
Li Liang thought that after going back, he would do the tasks of direct pass and hanging pass.
In the first half, the Hornets kept pressing the Lakers.
Anderson's outside feels good, Li Liang can even enter even if he seals his face.
The Hornets 47:46 in the first half, with a 1 point advantage to stay ahead.
Li Liang scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 turnovers are rare.
The assist turnover ratio is 1, which is better than Kobe.
In the second half, the situation changed suddenly.
During the intermission, Li Liang took the hair dryer and blew everyone on the team.
Because the whole team's defense is taking a walk in the first half, you just take a walk and play offense.
As a result, the offensive end was unruly and messy, especially a few substitutes. After playing, all opportunities could not be seized.
Otherwise, I will only have 1 assist and turnover ratio for Li Liliang? Anyway, there is a 2.
Everyone, including Mike Brown, thought Li Liang said something very reasonable.
In the second half, we must earnestly improve and strengthen our offense.
So, at the beginning of the third quarter, Li Liang first hit a three-pointer at 45 degrees on the left.
Lead by example, the score overtakes.
Then, Corby first grasped the spirit of Li Liang and made a sudden dunk.
Turning back to prevent the Hornets from attacking, Kobe took the ball to kill the basket again, this time after the bottom line, one-handed dunks reflexive!
This is a stunt commonly used by Kobe when he was young. Others thought that he would pass the bottom line, and the result was a dunk.
Li Liang is more defensively devoted. Since the old guys are not strong enough, then I am young.
Vazquez played very active in the first half, he was the key to the Hornets' dominant position.
After the midfield adjustment, as long as Vazquez picks and rolls, Li Liang must change defense.
He wants to protect Nash.
After all, Li Liang's outside defensive ability is stronger than the inside. One-on-one coverage of Vazquez directly makes him look out of the basket.
Successfully defended twice.
Nash contributed to the offense after the pressure on the defense was reduced.
First pass the ball to Howard, then dunk dunk!
Then he assisted Li Liang and made a 3-pointer at the top of the arc!
He also made a jump shot by himself.
The Lakers hit a 13:0 attack wave at once, reversed the situation at once, and stopped the Hornets.
The momentum of the Lakers came out, on the contrary, the Hornets were a little dumbfounded.
The first half played well, you come and go, the courtesy.
Why did I tear my face and attacked me in the second half?
The Hornets didn't score a full five minutes in the third quarter, and finally broke the scoring shortage by free throws.
The momentum on the Lakers side has been fully up.
Not only Kobe, Howard and Nash, but Morris and Duhon on the bench also started to make three-pointers.
This time the wasp is going to be cold.
Kobe hit a middle distance in the middle of the third quarter and scored the 16th point of the field.
This is a landmark goal.
Scoring this goal means Kobe has scored 30,000 points in his career!
This is the 1109th regular season of his career.
Sixteen years ago, he was drafted by the Hornets and traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
In sixteen years, in more than a thousand games, he has made a legend and achieved something that only a few people can achieve in history.
All this seemed calm, there was not much cheering, no celebration, no applause.
Because this is New Orleans, not Los Angeles.
Kobe's expression is also very calm, just like the usual two points, no difference.
Until the end of the game, UU read books www.uukanshu. The Com Lakers played better and better, turning the game into garbage time.
The audience knew that the victory and defeat had been divided, and there was no suspense. Kobe was replaced and the fans began to hold warm applause.
Many small fans wore Kobe Bryant's jersey No. 24, holding a sign with 30,000 points, to witness this ordinary and great moment.
Kobe and his teammates and coaches embraced him one by one. He was still very calm.
In sixteen years, more than a thousand games, with a flick of a finger, turned into an achievement of 30,000 points.
Li Liang stepped forward and hugged Kobe. He was about to replace Kobe.
Kobe said: "Why are you going to play again? The game is over, you threaten the coach again?"
Li Liangdao: "I haven't! I just want to be 30,000 points earlier than you."
Li Liang said, grinning, and then the garbage king appeared again.
