Chapter 277: No different

? Three days of preparation time passed quickly, the regular season just ended, the 2013 playoffs are finally beginning.
If the preseason is a warm-up, the regular season is training and entertainment, then the playoffs are really a real match.
On the day of April 20th, after finishing the mission of Tracy McGrady, Li Liang slept at home all day.
The team's training was naturally absent, and naturally the reporter did not participate in the interview.
He doesn't care, he has to rest well and recharge.
This sleep lasted until the afternoon of April 20, when the sun was going down.
Li Liangcai slowly opened his eyes and woke up, looked at the sky outside, and thought, morning?
Is the sun setting?
Looking at the time again, I found that it was already the night of the 20th and slept all day.
After getting off the bed, Li Liang had a feeling of falling asleep and reborn after collapse.
The last time I felt this way, it was still when I finished the [King of Threes] mission.
That three-pointer mission took him nearly a month, but the harvest was definitely a lever.
This time Li Liang abruptly improved the basic defense of the outside to 81, which is definitely a huge gain.
Because once the ability value reaches 80, it means that a new level has been entered.
This is a level that most NBA players cannot reach.
The awakened Li Liang stood in front of the window and took a deep breath, feeling the exhaustion in his chest.
Then a strong sense of hunger struck, and he immediately put on his clothes and supported the wall, and went to Zhu Shu to beg for food.
Zhu Shu knew Li Liang, he often suddenly fell into a deep sleep all day.
After getting up, you will be very hungry, so Zhu Shu will prepare a lot of food in advance.
What about Spanish ham, hamburgers, spinach rolls, salami, and of course, a large bowl of ramen that is very hungry.
Just pulled, steaming.
As for Shu Shu, an agent, even ramen learns how to make it, it is unknown.
Do not crush your skills.
When Li Liang came downstairs, he smelled the smell of food, and his calves were soft.
Climbing down with a roll, I saw a table full of dinner, without a word, eat bowl noodles and pad the stomach first!
"Eh~ This noodle was cooked for Xiao Ting, you... yours is not good yet, oops, eat it slowly, don't choke."
Li Liang swallowed, feeling a little relieved of hunger.
Then everything else is stuffed directly into the mouth.
Zhu Shu asked: "Why did you sleep all day again? Coach Brown called and asked why you didn't go to training. I said you were sleeping."
Li Liangdao: "What did he say?"
"He said to let you sleep well without disturbing you, just don't forget tomorrow's game."
Li Liang took a bite of the burger and said, "I forgot my surname, and I will never forget tomorrow's game. Hey, what about Wei Dazhi?"
"As much as I went out for an interview today, the playoffs are over, there will definitely be more and more news material."
After not eating for a while, Bai Xiaoting came and saw that his bowl was empty and knew that the noodle was eaten by Li Liang.
Seeing that the two might be arguing, Zhu Shu busy the round and said to Bai Xiaoting for another bowl.
Li Liang looked at Bai Xiaoting and said, "Hey, thank you that day, and told me about McGrady's weakness. It's quite useful."
Bai Xiaoting said: "Why, dreaming and playing with people again at night?"
Li Liangdao: "Yes, my golf skills have improved again, and now the Lakers are relying on me more and more."
Although Li Liang's remarks are a bit blunt, they are also true.
His three-pointers, inside and outside defense, as well as coping, connection, are the Lakers most in short supply, and there is no substitute.
Listening to Li Liang saying this, Bai Xiaoting did not make a mockery, but came over and quietly asked: "I heard Zhu Shu said, you may not stay in Los Angeles next season?"
Li Liangdao: "I didn't say, who knows about next season, first play the playoffs."
Bai Xiaoting ignored it and then asked, "If you are not in Los Angeles, which city would you like to go to?"
Li Liangdao: "You control me, I want to go to Beijing, will you follow me?"
Bai Xiaoting gave Li Liang a white eye and didn't speak again.
Li Liang is still hesitating about this, because he doesn't dare to do the task of the book "City of Angels".
He didn't know whether he should stay with the Lakers before getting the next step.
Anyway, wait until the season is over, maybe the system will prompt?
...
On the day of April 21st, after a full day of rest, the full-bodied Li Liang got up early in the morning.
Drive to the Toyota Center to participate in the team warm-up training.
The staff at Toyota Center greeted Li Liang friendly.
Mike Brown has arrived early and saw Li Liang's first sentence, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Li Liangdao: "Excellent! I think my defensive ability has improved!"
Brown nodded and said nothing. If you say ascension, just ascend, I believe it.
The team conducted a simple shooting training in the morning, and no more practice, so that the players can maintain sufficient physical fitness.
At noon, Li Liang went to the Mexican restaurant again, ate some chicken rolls and vegetable salad, and went back to rest for a while.
In the afternoon, the players arrived at the Staples Center early to watch the game video in the video room in the locker room.
The team's video editor has sorted out some of Houston's offensive highlights and defensive highlights this season for coaches and players to watch.
This is the third time in the 21st century that the Rockets and the Lakers have met in the playoffs, the eighth time in history.
The two teams are also quite related in history. In the 1970s, Washington punched Tomjanovic.
In the 1980s, the Rockets eliminated the Lakers twice and entered the finals. In the 1990s, the Lakers rocketed and declined.
In the 21st century, Yao Ming entered the playoffs for the first time in 2004, against the F4 Lakers.
The young and immature Rocket resisted a little, and was beaten by the veteran Lakers, losing 1:4 without suspense.
In 2009 Yao Ming matured and became the core of the Rockets, leading the Rockets and the No. 1 Lakers in the Western Conference in the semifinals.
Yao Ming regretted reimbursement due to injury, but the Rockets still lost seven games against the Lakers.
That should be the Rockets during the Yao Ming period, the closest to the finals.
After that, the Rockets entered the reconstruction period. After getting Harden this year, they finally returned to the finals!
And their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers, and they are also luxurious Galaxy battleships.
After playing the regular season, the Rockets stayed in Los Angeles.
After training and playing here for three days, the game started just on the 21st.
I don't know if James Harden has the strength to play in the playoffs.
At 7pm on the 21st, the first game of the playoffs opened on time.
Before the game officially started, there was a small episode.
After decentralizing Dalius Morris to the Development League, the Lakers recruited another player, Andrew Goodlock.
Goodlock played well in the Development League because he won the NBA season regular season MVP.
Therefore, at the scene of the Staples Center, the president of NBDL directly awarded Good Lock the MVP silver trophy.
The Lakers stood up collectively, applauding him for winning this honor.
Li Liang stood next to Kobe, poked him, and said: "Hey, boss, you said you want to get an MVP this year? Can you get it? You see your younger brother got it."
Kobe put down his arrogance at the Washington conference to get the regular season MVP, to be honest his performance is worthy of a regular season MVP trophy Victory, 65 wins and 17 losses at the end of the season, the league's first.
All the data of James is luxurious. Kobe wants to win James in the vote. It is really not easy.
After all, he missed the game for two weeks because of injury, and the Lakers are not as good as the Heat.
But it's hard to say, maybe by relying on feelings, Kobe can get another MVP.
Kobe didn't want to discuss this topic with Li Liang, saying: "Boy, prepare for the playoffs, but it's different."
Li Liang snorted and said: "The regular season playoffs are all games, what can be different?"
Kobe said nothing more, but gave Li Liang a look.
Li Liang thought, I played in the finals, I was afraid of a hair in the first round!
