Chapter 255: Words must be cheap

? Mike Brown is enjoying a good time in his coaching career.
As the so-called "planting melons and melons, planting beans and beans", after the tremendous pressure at the beginning of the season and after the mid-season debugging, the Lakers finally reached a very good state at the end of the season.
This is the situation that Gasol did not come back, and the personnel are not in order.
When Gasol comes back, someone from the bench takes it, there is a tactical point, then the Lakers still take off?
Now Brown feels that he can enter the "custodial" state, anyway, he has always been a managed offense.
After a season of defense, basically no big problems.
Although it can't reach the level of a super defensive team, the Lakers are originally an offensive team, and defense can be accepted as long as the loopholes are not too large.
After playing the Bulls, the Lakers went to play away with the Magic and Eagles.
In a game against the Magic, Howard was booed by a huge blockbuster at the Amway Center.
This was expected. Howard’s farce in magic in the past two years has made him unpopular in Orlando.
Now in the Lakers, although the record is the league, but Howard's low position in the team is not comparable in magic.
At the scene, the audience greeted Howard with the sign "How to be a little brother in Los Angeles".
Howard, of course, could only smile.
There is no state, can not play the performance of a giant star, can only be willing to be a little brother.
But it doesn't matter to be Kobe's younger brother. Some slogans directly wrote "Howard is Bruce's younger brother."
This is unbearable.
Although Bruce Lee is indeed a magical presence in the Lakers, he is still a rookie.
Is the name of rookie and old immortal spread all over the league to the ears of other fans?
This embarrassed Howard. There was no smile on his face during the warm-up before the game.
When Li Liang saw it, it was not a taste.
In theory, Lao Tzu can indeed be the boss, but in the away game, he still has to face the veterans.
How could the relationship with his teammates be disrupted by the provocation of the away fans?
So, Li Liang walked to Howard and said, "Come on tonight, I will pass you more and smash them."
Howard glanced at Li Liang, his face finally squeezing a smile.
Howard has not had a good time this season. Although Li Liang, the kid, is arrogant and unreasonable, he has nothing to say about his teammates' loyalty.
So he scolded others, and everybody had no opinion about him.
It's a curse, but it's hard to change if you can. If you look at how good Mike Brown is, you're almost the best coach.
After the game started, Li Liang and Nash greeted him and made Howard play the ball at the beginning.
In fact, without Li Liang, the Lakers team knows how to make Howard happy in this game.
It is still the same reason, in the away game, tens of thousands of people do not support you, only teammates can support you.
Teammates don't support each other, this ball can't be played.
So as soon as the game started, Nash, Li Liang, and Kobe joined forces to feed Howard.
Kobe broke through the ball, Nash hit the ball after the pick-and-roll, Li Liang responded.
Anyway, the Lakers made up their minds tonight, to let Howard play a good performance, so that fans at the magic home shut up.
Howard is also stubborn enough, after taking the ball in the inside, the first two goals were severely dunked in.
After the fight, the two sides began to be a bit grudge.
Howard had to get the ball inside, and the Magic fouled and sent Howard to the free throw line.
To be clear, he would rather let Howard make a free throw than let him shoot well, let alone dunk.
Howard's free throw percentage continued to hover at 50% this season.
But tonight, in the sky-high booing at the Amway Center, Howard made a very good free throw percentage and played at a super level.
He made 40 free throws! 25 of them were hit.
More than 20 fouls are enough to see how Howard has been chased by the Magic.
But even so, Howard scored a staggering 41 points, scoring more than 40 points for the first time this season.
This is really not easy for Howard, whose personal offensive ability has deteriorated.
Howard laughed at the beginning of the game, and later laughed.
Another result that Howard opened was that Li Liang was very comfortable shooting a three-pointer from the outside.
No wonder the coaches of the past NBA like to play Insid-out with a super center. This has become too simple.
If you can't do it, you can pass in, and you can shoot if you hit the outside. It's simple and practical. The effect depends on the player's own status.
It's a pity that Howard is just a flash in the pan.
At 106:95 away, the Lakers defeated the Orlando Magic without much suspense and continued to move toward victory.
After the game, Howard seemed very happy.
This is probably the happiest game he has played this season.
Not only won the game in front of the old club, but also played the best performance of the season, so that the audience shut up.
Is there anything more enjoyable than this?
When the reporter asked how to treat the Lakers as a younger brother rather than the boss, Howard said with a smile: "As long as I can win the championship, let me carry bags."
As a result of Howard’s remarks, when he left the Amway Center bus, everyone hung his luggage on Howard.
Howard seemed to be a mobile luggage rack, regretting it.
But from this matter, we can see that the fit between the Lakers players has become better and better.
Kobe hasn't dealt with Howard in character since the beginning of the season, and it's the same now.
But after six months of getting along, I finally found a way to cooperate.
It means that there is no room on the court, and everyone on the court plays different.
Anyway, the relationship between colleagues, just do the work together.
A day later, the Lakers left Orlando and arrived in Atlanta.
The Phillips Center played against the Hawks on March 13th.
Not long ago, the two sides had a contest, the Lakers won at home.
For any team with strong strikers and strong point guards, the Lakers will struggle to fight.
Before the start of the Phillips Center game, there was an episode.
While warming up, Bruce Lee picked up the microphone and said to the audience: "Dear Atlanta fans, I don’t know if you know me or not, Bruce Lee. I came to Atlanta almost a year ago. A three-pointer was scored in the midfield three-point event here. Then I said, I will stand in the NBA in the future. A year has passed, and I am here today to tell you, I did it, thank you. "
Li Liang's voice just fell, and he replayed the scene a year ago on the big screen at the Phillips Center ~EbookFREE.me~.
At that time, Li Liang and Wei Dazhi and others were on a graduation trip together and came to Atlanta to watch the game between the Eagles and the Celtics.
During the rest of the third and fourth quarters, during the midfield shooting, Li Liang was drawn to the stage and hit the midfielder with a three-pointer and received a tens of thousands of dollars in prize money.
Then in the acceptance speech, he said that he would stand in the NBA field.
Eagle fans at the time thought that the Chinese kid got into a midfield shot and got confused.
Then he was soon forgotten.
Unexpectedly, almost a year later, he actually stood on the NBA court and became a great All-Star player.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, which was given to the Chinese student who created a miracle.
Since then, Li Liang has added another nickname: Li Liang will be cheap.
