Chapter 945: Championship record

"Guard, guard the last goal, you know? This is the last distance between us and the champion, a semester of hard work, come on boys, come on! Go up, up!"
Bellman is doing the final mobilization.
This is on April 1, 1981, Los Angeles, California High School Basketball League second league finals are held here.
Opposing both sides are the champion of Northern California, the Palo Alto Vikings, and the champion Riverside High School of Southern California.
The game has reached the final moments, and the Vikings lead Riverside High School by one point 64:63.
In the last 35 seconds, Riverside High School has the last chance to attack.
Li Liang has scored 35 points in this game.
After a period of training in the mission, his skills improved very quickly.
He is already an excellent center, proficient in turn-over jump shots, with superior strength, and dominant defense.
From an obscure underdog, the Vikings managed to win the Northern California championship in one fell swoop and reached the finals.
They are 35 seconds away from the championship, and they have to guard the last goal.
The timeout ended, the game restarted, and Li Liang returned to the court.
He stared at a very thin bald head in Riverside High School.
The referee blew his whistle and suspended the game to end the game.
The bald head dashed on the field and wanted to run out of the open space. He ran out, received the ball, and turned around to make a jumper!
But a big hand reached out and tapped the ball lightly.
The ball has been shot, but it has deviated far from the route, and it landed halfway through the flight.
It was Li Liang, he adjusted his pace, spotted his shot, and blocked the opponent's lore!
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 64:63, and the Palo Alto Vikings won the game!
Viking players from the sidelines flocked to the court, Li Liang raised his hands, and at the same time he saw the grandstand waving a huge "Gan's Restaurant" banner.
Not far away, a long and lonely figure left, wearing a number 5 jersey with the words "iller" printed on the back.
After the ecstasy and cheers, the surroundings fell into darkness, and Li Liang knew that his journey in Palo Alto High School was about to come to an end.
This journey was intermittent, starting from the first game of entering high school, until becoming the state champion, throughout Li Liang's 20162017nba regular season.
In the mission, Li Liang had a completely different experience from in real life.
The kind of basketball career that started from scratch, full of passion and passion.
For a period of time, when he was particularly tired during the regular season, Li Liang even liked to enter the system tasks to relax himself and re-experience the fun of basketball.
In this process, the 20162017 regular season will come to an end.
On April 12, 2017, the last game day of the regular season, the Kings played their last regular season.
The opponent was the Clippers, and Li Liang chose to take a full rotation.
Before this game, the King's record was 57 wins and 24 losses.
57 wins, is the first time in Li Liang's career that he did not win 60 in the regular season.
But it has created the best record in the regular season for the Kings since the 20032004 season.
There is one last game. If they win the Clippers, the Kings will win 58!
You can commemorate their opponent, Li Liang's former teammate Chris Paul.
However, Li Liang chose to take a rotation to allow the main players to get a full rest before the playoffs.
For the Kings, 57 wins or 58 wins, has no effect on their Western rankings.
The top three in the West have been determined, the Warriors, Spurs and Kings.
The Thunder fell behind after the All-Star Game because Westbrook suffered an injury and missed most of the games after the All-Star Game.
The Thunder, which had been all healthy last year, fell out of the team due to injuries this year.
But they still ranked fifth in the Western Conference with 54 wins.
The Lakers ranked ahead of the Thunder with 55 wins, and the two teams will have a battle in the first round.
Ranked sixth is the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers have not been up for the past two seasons. It seems that after winning the championship, the team has entered a state of gliding.
Encountering the king in the first round was a lot of bad luck.
So, in the last game of the regular season, the Clippers had a smashing addiction to the Kings, winning 115:90 with 25 points.
In this way, the Kings ended the regular season with a defeat, and the record was fixed at 57 wins and 25 losses.
Although this result is the worst regular season record of Li Liang's career, if you look at the historical statistics of the NBA, you will know that 57 wins and 25 losses is a magical record.
From the 1968 season, after the NBA officially established the 82 regular season game system, except for the shrinking season, for decades now, among the teams that have entered the finals, the regular season record of 57 wins and 25 losses is the most. 10 times! (If you count the 2016 knights in parallel time and space, it reaches 11 times, and count the 19 warriors to 12 times.)
Among them, the number of teams winning the championship is 5 (if you count the 2016 Cavaliers, it is 6), reaching half.
In other words, this is a "championship record" and seems to have a magical power.
Li Liang is very satisfied with this record.
For him, it is indeed the worst in his career.
But for the entire Kings team, first getting this record has proved that they have the strength to compete for the championship, a few games short of winning is not a problem at all.
Anyway, Li Liang has an away field advantage.
Moreover, in the second half of the season, Li Liang has been adjusting the lineup and experimenting with his style of play. He has made it more handy in the position of head coach.
The regular season has completely become a martial arts field for him, and the playoffs are the real battlefield.
After a two-day break, on April 15, the 17th season playoffs started.
On the first day, the Warriors played against the eighth-ranked Trail Blazers, and the Kings played against the sixth-ranked Clippers.
Before the game, the Kings center Cousins ​​was very nervous, and he couldn't speak much when he was nervous.
This is the first time Cousins ​​has participated in the playoffs in his career.
As the No. 1 center in the NBA this season, Cousins ​​had no playoff experience before, enough to show how lonely the NBA's inside line is.
Li Liang rubbed Cousins's shoulder before the game began, and said, "Who is the opponent tonight?"
"Clippers."
"Yes, Clippers, are you nervous? Do you think we will lose?"
"I don't know... No, we will definitely win, we will definitely win!"
"There is no certainty. We just lost the game the day before yesterday. Nothing is certain."
When Li Liang said that, Cousins ​​was a little confused, why didn't even Bruce Lee say that it was not necessarily?
Isn't that the end?
Li Liang took out his cell phone and asked Cousins, "Come on, predict the score of this game."
"What?" Cousins ​​didn't understand what Li Liang was talking about. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
"I said to predict the score of this game, we don't care about the Clippers, predict the King, how many points our King will get."
Cousins ​​fell into a deep thought. He knew that Li Liang liked to make predictions before the game, but he never predicted the king.
Is it possible that in the playoffs, he is about to start fg for his team on Twitter?
This idea is very dangerous.
But Li Liang asked very tightly and said loudly, "Tell me Cousins! How many points do we want in this game!"
Everyone in the locker room heard it, and they all looked at Cousins, staring at him closely.
Cousins ​​had to say, and he couldn't say less, "Tonight...tonight we are going to win, we are going to score 130 points!"
"Ok, 130 points." With that said, Li Liang posted a message on Twitter, "I want to get 130 points tonight."
