Chapter 473: The lame captain

Li Liang scored 25 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds against the Lakers.
Of course, he also contributed 5 turnovers, creating a career high.
Holding the ball in the position of the organizer has to bear a greater risk of turnover.
After this game, Li Liang fell to the second place on the MVP leaderboard and was surpassed by LeBron James.
Not because Li Liang played badly, but James' performance was too dazzling.
Since being defeated by the Lakers in the finals last season, James has been brave this season and further improved his personal abilities.
Because he was defensively defensively in the finals, leading to a sharp decline in offensive power, James spent the entire summer to improve his three-point and shooting ability.
And he ignored Pat Riley's objection and insisted on reducing his weight appropriately to improve his flexibility on the outside.
This led to a decline in James' ability to defend against the inside, but the outside was more comfortable.
This season, the Heat once again played an excellent regular season performance under the leadership of James. At present, the Heat are only one win behind the Pacers who have played the blood.
If the Pacers can't bite behind, the hard-to-guarantee record will be overtaken by the heat of the backcourt.
After entering the 14th year, James has scored 30 points + 10 assists + 5 rebounds in a single game.
He has won the best in the first week of the East in 14 years.
Therefore, Li Liang wants to catch up with James in the MVP battle, he must do more.
In fact, even Li Liang knew that it was very difficult for him to defeat James in the MVP competition this season.
Just as the MVP gave Kobe the regular season last season, which included the media and fans' aesthetic fatigue for James, this season there will be no aesthetic fatigue for James.
Not only is there no aesthetic fatigue, but also a sense of owe.
Because last season James' performance and the team's record were well-deserved MVP levels, the result was finally given to Kobe.
Then in the finals, James' heat was beaten up by the Lakers again and the championship was lost dramatically.
This is good, fans and public opinion began to sympathize with James.
The big devil who made the decision in 2010 began to become a lone hero with a "tragic" color.
It is indeed tragic, came to the Heat three finals, won a championship in the middle, beaten twice before and after.
Moreover, they were unexpectedly lost to their opponents when they were favored by public opinion.
Now that James has played so well, of course he will have extra points in the MVP selection.
Therefore, if Li Liang wants to get the MVP of the regular season, he must play a shocking explosive performance, and then lead the Clippers to a 70-win record, then MVP is definitely Li Liang.
At present, he has not reached such strength.
Li Liang still has some points on this point. Anyway, MVP knows it very well. As long as the media chooses, the subjective factors will definitely be great.
Maybe one day he will not give him the MVP for the regular season because he is Chinese.
Only champions and victories, and their own abilities are real.
After the game with the Lakers, the Clippers got a four-day break.
Players can relax and give themselves a little vacation.
Of course, Li Liang did not give himself a holiday. There were a bunch of tasks lying on his system waiting for him to do it.
After earnestly studying and preparing for a pass, Li Liang is ready to start the second task in the second volume of "City of Angels": the lame captain.
Li Liang has been staring at this task for some time, and has been watching the video to prepare.
[Task, Lame Captain, Time: March 16, 1985, Location: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, USA: Los Angeles Lakers VS Los Angeles Clippers, Mission Requirements: To replace Bill Wharton, and help the Los Angeles Clippers at home Victory over the Lakers, mission reward: skill'Walton's pass behind the head', mission difficulty: star. 】
To be honest, this task is not particularly attractive to Li Liang.
The task reward is just a "passing behind the ball" skill. This slightly fancy passing skill is not very useful to Li Liang at present.
Moreover, he already has [one serve into the soul], as an outside organizer, one serve into the soul is obviously easier to use than passing behind the head.
Because Bill Wharton is the center, his back pass is used in the low post.
So Li Liang dragged on this task for quite a long time, and has never started.
Compared to this poor reward, the task is not difficult at all.
He wants to help the Clippers defeat the 1985 Lakers in 1985, which is equivalent to helping the 76ers defeat the Heat.
If Li Liang can throw three points wildly, there is still a chance, but this time he wants to replace Wharton, whether he can throw three points is still a problem.
The last time I met Wharton was in the first volume of the book "City of Angels". In the broom star of the red jellyfish, Li Liang turned into Komet Washington, assisting Jabal against Wharton and the Blazers.
Eight years have passed, and Jabal is old and bald, but still very strong. This year the Lakers are the championship team.
Wharton, who is younger than Jabal, has lost his former glory because of repeated injuries.
Because of the conflict with the Blazers, he left Portland and came to his hometown of San Diego to join the Clippers.
The Clippers thought that they were ushering in a new captain. They didn't expect that the captain's legs were lame and there was no way to direct the ship to sail.
He spent most of his time with injuries and this season was his last season with the Clippers.
At this time, Wharton was no longer the all-round MVP and became a member of the team's bench. He could only play more than 20 minutes per game, scored a dozen points, and rebounded.
Of course, a year later, in Boston, he will usher in the final glory of his career.
But in 1985, the old captain was at the lowest point of his life. His basketball career, which should have been more brilliant, was completely destroyed by injuries.
He fell down again and again, and stood up again and again. Every time he stood up, there was one more scar on his body, and every scar would make his strength drop.
Wonderful passes, smooth hooks, clever command, strong defense, it's all away from him.
Like many giants, he has a quirky personality. He stutters. When he was young, he was enthusiastic about participating in political activities. He likes hippies and rock music. His character is not stubborn.
When he is a superstar, all this is acceptable. When he is destroyed by injuries, his reputation is also destroyed.
In Portland, he was very fierce with the team, the original city hero suffered huge public pressure.
So he chose to go home and return to San Diego, hoping to start again in his familiar California.
But he failed. In four years, he played 169 games for the Clippers, with an attendance rate of only 50%.
The data is declining year by year, and the Clippers have not even made the playoffs in any of the four years.
This is not what the Clippers fans want to see when they warmly welcome him.
This is not the original intention of Wharton to come to his hometown.
The game in the mission has come to March 1985, the final stage of the regular season, the Clippers and the Lakers last game of the season.
Throughout the season, the Clippers played against the Lakers and never won a game.
Not to mention winning, there weren't even close matches, the games were all beaten by brothers from the same city.
This was the first year the Clippers left San Diego and came to Los Angeles. Sterling moved the team to Angel City on the advice of his friend Bas.
They have a bigger market and a bigger arena, but Los Angeles has long been the Lakers' territory.
Since 1984-1985, the Clippers have always lived in the shadow of the Great Lakers and have never been able to come out.
Li Liang is going to play as Bill Wharton. In the last game between the Clippers and the Lakers in 1985, he gave the Lakers a lesson and gave the Clippers a glory.
Before the game started, Li Liang carefully studied the data and lineup of the game.
Needless to say in history, the Clippers lost to the Lakers without much suspense.
Wharton debuted as a backup center, playing only 20 minutes, scoring 8 points and 7 rebounds, without playing a key role.
The Lakers played best with Magic Johnson, scoring 25 points and 15 assists.
Since 1985~EbookFREE.me~ he began to become the true core of the Lakers, and Jabal gradually handed over the scepter of power.
Li Liang thought that after replacing Walton himself, his mid-range shooting should be able to play a sufficient role.
But on the inside defense, can he support the Clippers' already ruined defense?
Weighing again and again, Li Liang thought of a prop, [Cording's Box]!
Anyway, there is a 4-day break, use this box once a day, try your luck, and see if you can transfer to a data suitable for inside defense.
So, on the third day, Li Liang fortunately transferred his 81-point outside defense ability to the basic defense ability inside.
[Defensive rebound] increased to 71 points, [Capping] became 58 points, really the most suitable ability value for center.
With this set of defensive capabilities, Li Liang is confident to help the Clippers win the Lakers in this game.
Let Wharton, the lame old captain, leave a bright spot in his short and unfortunate Clippers career.
