Li Liang woke up from his sleep and returned from 1993 to 2012 when the plane arrived in Houston.
Everyone yawned and got off the plane, and immediately drove back to the hotel for repair.
During the day, Mike Brown canceled the training of the whole team to let the players feel refreshed at the hotel.
For the Lakers now, rest is more important than training.
Paul Gasol stayed in Los Angeles because of a knee injury. Nash's knee was just not too long. Brown controlled his playing time to about 25 minutes per game.
Howard's back injury has not healed, and he has been seen pushed to the ground more than once in previous games.
In the past, Howard used to knock others upside down, but this year, he often sighed.
The team's trainer and chief doctor Vitty has become the most worried person on the team. There are too many veterans in the Lakers. As the season deepens, there may be a wave of injuries.
Injuries are like dominoes. One fell down, the pressure on other players increased, and playing time increased, the risk of injury increased, and it is likely to fall.
One by one, the ambitions of many teams throughout the season may fall under the claws of injuries.
Gasol's fall was undoubtedly a dangerous signal, the team doctor had to be careful.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Lakers went to the Toyota Center to prepare for the game.
On the way to the Toyota Center, the team bus passed the intricate viaduct in Houston, and you could see various billboards standing near the viaduct.
The players either listened to the song or looked at the phone dumbfounded. Li Liang came to Houston for the first time and lay down beside the window to see the scenery.
He suddenly saw Kobe appearing on a huge billboard.
"Hey! Kobe! Your advertisement!" Li Liang pointed out the window excitedly.
Everyone looked up and said that there was something strange about Kobe's advertisement.
With his influence, he has countless TV and print ads in the United States.
In addition to sports brands such as Nike, there are other commercial products such as Turkish Airlines, Swiss watches, chocolate, Coca-Cola and so on.
In 2011, he also became the spokesperson of Mercedes-Benz, and became the ambassador of this luxury car brand.
In a big city like Houston, it’s normal to have a Kobe billboard.
But everyone glanced again and found that something was wrong. There is a picture of Kobe on the billboard, but what is behind him?
car? But this is not like Mercedes-Benz... It is also four wheels, small in front and large in back, or open, how can there be a chimney... This Nima turned out to be a tractor!
All the people in the car were shocked, and they looked at Kobe sitting behind him, his eyes full of doubts.
Boss, are you so short of money? Why did you endorse the tractor ads?
Boss, didn't you say the signed Mercedes-Benz endorsement? Is it deceptive, actually a tractor?
Bryant also looked at the billboard, and his heart hurt... Why should he be so stubborn, so stubborn, and must agree to Li Liang's conditions?
He disregarded the opposition of economist Capellin and agreed to use his image as an advertising endorsement for tractor sellers, limited to print ads.
Father Li Liang’s agricultural machinery sales partner is in Texas, and the billboards are not ashamed, and Kobe is ashamed.
Li Liang snickered while covering his mouth, and said that Dad was ruthless enough. It would be estimated that it would be posted online in a few days.
But he didn't say anything, and gave Kobe a face, after all, he was the boss.
When others saw Kobe's sullen face, they didn't say anything. Everyone knew Kobe didn't like being joked.
But the bus was already filled with cheerful air, and it was estimated to be a long time.
After arriving at the Toyota Center, the players warmed up on the court.
The veterans are all lying down or lying on the sidelines, let the trainer help stretch, massage.
It's not easy for the elderly team. Li Liang wants to start with a set of Tai Chi to clear the muscles and then play again.
Li Liang wore his pair of socks that could prevent hemp feet, and blue ugly knee pads were tied to his left knee.
Mike Brown felt distressed when he saw the knee brace. He said that the kid was so poor, so why use such a ugly and broken knee brace?
The Lakers have professional knee pads available, but Li Liang said it was his lucky amulet.
Brown understands it and tells Li Liang that he will start him tonight.
Li Liang was so excited when he heard that he could finally start? Finally don't have to sit on the bench to watch the game? Haha, that's great.
Brown is also very happy, and finally there is a justified reason for Li Liang not to sit beside him and chatter!
"I hope you can give Dwight some more support. He played a bit hard. Defensively, I believe you."
As soon as Li Liang heard the good guy, Lao Tzu was responsible for coaxing the beast again, why didn't you coax me?
In these games, Howard was shocked by opponents, and the number of fouls in the game was 5.
Even if the offensive end can't be opened, even the old bank has lost a lot of defense, can he still be happy?
Before the opponent came in and saw Warcraft, they were scared. Now they are staring at Howard and rushing inwards to fight for the offensive rebound.
Although the Rockets say that the inside line is not good, but tonight at home, they will be very hard.
The Rockets have always been a very hard team.
However, Li Liang is also a very hard-working player, but in many games before, he gives the impression that he is very good at shooting three-pointers and defending very thieves.
Tonight is an opportunity for him. Although he completed a task, the bonus is very limited. If he wants to play well, he still has to work hard.
Brown didn't actually have much expectations, just talking casually.
He certainly knows the Lakers' inside problem, but Howard's decline has no way for him, and Gasol's injuries and aging are not within his control.
All he can do is tap as much internal potential as possible.
Looking around, there is only one Jordan Hill on the bench, but Hill's performance is really difficult to satisfy.
In the third quarter of the Spurs, the layup missed the ball, and now Brown remembers that Gasol was stupefied.
After losing the game, you won the game, otherwise you will lose the ball.
Therefore, I still have to practice Li Liang alone, anyway, try it, this kid always brings surprises.
The match between the two sides started at 7 pm U.S. mountain time.
After the entrance ceremony of both sides, Li Liang looked at the auditorium of the Toyota Center. Good guy, the front row is half empty!
The red chair, there was no one here, there was no one there, and the whole was limping.
This is also a big wonder in Houston. Fans like to be late for the opening, and Miami fans like to leave early to echo each other.
Tonight, the Rockets' collars on the jerseys were lined with black and green strips to commemorate Sasha McHale, the daughter of McHale who had just died of illness.
Before the game started, Li Liang changed all his runes into defensive runes, anticipation, defensive focus, and defensive intensity.
Although the level is not high, it can improve by two or three percent, which is also helpful for his limited inside defense ability.
? For the first time as a team starter, Li Liang was still very excited.
There must be a difference between the starter and the bench. One is to start on the spot and the other is to pick up the car.
Starting on the spot means that you can play your own game rhythm, you need to adapt to the game rhythm.
At the beginning of the game, both sides played looser, and Li Liang, who was used to the bench, was a little bit big, and took a foul in the opening.
Who is the head referee tonight? The famous bald referee Crawford.
At first glance is this bald fat man, can Li Liang let him go?
Going up is a hair dryer, and reasoning with him.
Who knows that Crawford is not afraid, although Li Liang did not play the technical offense, but the two men made some truth, but did not fall.
Sure enough, he is a bull who plays Duncan's bench technical foul. His logical thinking ability is very strong and unique.
And he is bald, not afraid of killing his head, and it really makes no difference to him.
Li Liang, who received a foul, must play more carefully.
Fortunately, the Rockets are not in good condition at the opening, and the outside line has not been able to hit.
On the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant scored a long two-pointer on the top of the arc and opened the record for the first time.
Then he snatched Jeremy Lin from the perimeter, fast-breaking counterattack to avoid the pursuit and layup.
Four consecutive points.
Every time the team loses, Kobe will be more aggressive next.
How many games have been played in the beginning, but Howard played, but the effect is average.
Brown decided to let Kobe open first, and then look at the situation to give Howard an opportunity to attack.
The Lakers opened an 8:0 to stop the Rockets.
Li Liang played power forward for the first time on the court. He felt pretty good. He grabbed two rebounds. The defense and movement were relatively in place.
However, the Rockets opened in a really bad state. Head coach McHale continued to be absent, assistant coaches lacked control, and players were messing up on the court.
After returning from the timeout, Jeremy Lin controlled the ball from the perimeter and made a pick-and-roll cooperation with striker Patterson.
After the pick-and-roll, he directly turned to dribble and drilled in. Li Liang immediately changed his defense and followed from the middle to the bottom line.
If the ball is to be replaced by Gasol or Jamison, Jeremy Lin will rush to the basket, but Li Liang will be the same.
Jeremy Lin's explosiveness is still not enough to break through Li Liang. Even if he barely rushes past, under the circumstances of interference, there is Howard behind him, and he will definitely put a big hat on the ball to the audience.
Therefore, Jeremy Lin took a lap and scored the ball to Harden.
Harden one pass operation ~EbookFREE.me~ An emergency stop mid-range jumper shot, still missed!
Tonight's Houston rim added to the Rockets' own and didn't score in 3 minutes.
Li Liang grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and immediately gave Kobe a quick break.
Kobe took the ball from the middle to the basket, attracting most of the Rockets' defensive attention.
Li Liang keeps up, at 45 degrees on the left, Kobe passes, Li Liang catches the ball directly!
What if the rune is not installed? Does Lao Tzu still rely on that touch bonus?
"Uh!"
The ball went into the net hollowly, and Li Liang was very confident in the ball.
11:0, the rocket was beaten.
The situation is a bit wrong, but the coach can no longer call a timeout, yeah, and then chant.
