Chapter 117: Debut smoothly(1/2)
At this time, Li Liang had just finished the phone with Brown. He was in a taxi and on the way to the stadium.
With Li Liang, the team's trainer Di Francesco, who was the summer to try out for Li Liang.
He looked at his watch and said, "It should be able to catch up, I'll see the score... Oh, we're still a little behind."
Di Francesco took out his mobile phone, opened the live broadcast page, and watched the live score between the Lakers and the Raptors.
When Li Liang heard this, what was he actually behind? What the hell did these people beat?
Howard made a comeback and had two days off, so he came to Toronto and couldn't even beat the Raptors.
The Raptors' current record is outside the playoffs of the East District and belongs to the traditional weak team.
The Lakers are still behind just by fighting such an opponent.
Li Liang asked: "Look at Kobe's data, how many have you invested in?"
Di Francisco looked at the data table and saw Kobe's data, and was a little embarrassed to speak.
Seeing that Di Francesco didn't speak, Li Liang knew that Lao Ke had abused Toronto's basket again.
"Okay, don't look at it. Sir, please drive quickly, I'll hurry up and go to the competition."
Li Liang reminded taxi drivers to hurry up.
The driver recognized Li Liang and said, "I will hurry up. Although I am a fan of the Raptors, I still hope you can play on the field, otherwise the media will report that the Toronto people won't be able to win."
As he said that, the driver increased the accelerator and started speeding on the elevated road.
The traffic jam problem in Toronto is still very serious, but it is mainly concentrated during rush hours.
It's past eight o'clock in the evening, and after the peak period, the road became smoother.
From the airport to the Air Canada Arena, the veteran driver arrived in just over twenty minutes.
Li Liang experienced the speed and passion, and after getting off the car, he hurried towards the players' passage in the arena.
After presenting his work permit, Li Liang trotted all the way into the locker room.
He hurried to the locker room, and he changed into his jersey, but he didn't even have time to warm up, so he started running towards the stadium.
...
After the third quarter started, the Lakers team suddenly burst out with huge energy!
Kobe first made two unreasonable three-pointers from the outside, overturned the score and stopped the Toronto Raptors.
After the timeout, the Lakers' defensive attention increased to a higher level, strengthened the rotation teams on the outside, moved quickly to fill in, and did not give the Raptors the opportunity to take easy shots on the outside.
Nash assisted Gasol in the inside again in a row, and Gasol cut into the basket and caught the ball and made a layup.
The Lakers scored a 10-0 climax, and the Raptors relied on ed-Davis' mid-range jump shot to break the scoring drought.
At this time, the Lakers had regained the initiative on the field.
Kobe is ready to beat the Raptors. In fact, Kobe has a psychological advantage. In the first half, he had a pure problem with his hand and his overall condition was not nervous enough.
Now that Li Liang is on the way, everyone is nervous.
When Toronto fans saw that the Raptors played poorly, they were turned over by the Lakers and fell silent.
Those Chinese fans who want to watch Li Liang play are eager to see him. There is only one chance a year. Some people from ordinary families are not easy to watch the court.
The game continued, and the third quarter was approaching the end. The Lakers led the Raptors by 81:73.
The Lakers players finally could breathe a little relief. The official timeout was suspended, and everyone looked up at the timer and scoreboard. It felt that 8 points were not very stable.
It was indeed unstable, so once the official timeout was over, Kobe did not leave the court for a break.
He first made a steal and assisted Ci Shiping to make a fast break layup, widening the gap to 10 points.
Then the Lakers defended another attack from the Raptors. Kobe got the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt by himself. With the help of Gasol's cover, he took a step inside the three-point line and made a jump shot from the mid-range position!
12 points!
The score difference was widened to 12 points!
In the end, neither side made a attack and the third quarter ended.
In the third quarter, the Lakers completed a 15-point counterattack from 3 points behind to 12 points.
They played high-intensity confrontation in this quarter, almost playing the playoff level of defense and offensive focus.
Kobe played the third quarter, and he made 5 of 7 shots in the third quarter, made 2 free throws, and scored 12 points.
Just between the third and fourth quarters, when fans thought the game was not interesting, the picture in the player channel suddenly appeared on the big screen of the stadium.
Immediately afterwards, cheers began to come out of the stands in scattered ways, and then they formed a film. Many depressed and bored fans stood up.
On the large screen, you can see a player wearing a purple No. 28 jersey running towards the stadium.
He walked through the long player passage and ran to the court.
The entire Air Canada Center gradually boiled, and screams and cheers were heard inexplicably.
Even the Raptors fans, who are not fans of the Lakers and Li Liang, joined in and shouted.
You can believe that a visiting player and a rookie can only come to the arena in the fourth quarter, which can cause such a big response.
Li Liang himself didn't expect why he made such a loud noise when he scored in the goal hall?
He felt that it was going to be bad. Did the Lakers fall behind in the big score and get two three-pointers by Raptors Bangbang?
What can these trash teammates beat? It's so hard to hit the Raptors.
Li Liang ran all the way to the Lakers' bench, and everyone stood there watching Li Liang arrive.
"Look, look at what you see, what you play, are you falling behind again? Otherwise, why would the home fans be so happy?"
Li Liang could still hear the cheers of the fans, one wave higher and one wave higher and one wave higher.
Mike Brown said: "No, no, look at the score, look."
Li Liang looked up at the scoreboard above, and then he found that the Lakers were actually leading and 12 points ahead of the Raptors?!
Damn, I blamed my teammates for the wrong reason.
Why are the fans shouting so loudly?
At this time, Li Liang saw the image of his looking up at the scoreboard and was on the big screen.
The TV station gave Li Liang the camera, and there was another cheer on the scene.
Only then did Li Liang realize that the cheers of emotions were for me? Am I so popular?
Li Liang grabbed the face, waved his hand gently to the camera, and greeted the fans.
On the bench, Kobe rolled his eyes at Li Liang, "You wave your horse's hand, play away brother, do you think the concert will be held."
Do you know who everyone is fighting hard for in the third quarter to overtake the score by 12 points?
Li Liang didn't know anyway, and he felt relieved when he saw him leading.
My teammates are still very powerful, leading by 12 points. If you work harder, you will be able to get garbage time?
It just so happened to wear the medal and play hard, and it did not disappoint so many international students and fans who came to see his game.
Thinking of this, Li Liang immediately said: "Mike, let me play! Let me play for a while."
Well, since you are here, let you call for a while.
Li Liang did a few warm-ups excitedly, and then came on the court to start the game.
The fans who wanted to watch Li Liang's game finally waited in vain. They jumped happily and held up Li Liang's avatar sign and swayed left and right.
There are not only Chinese fans, but also student fans from other Asian countries. After all, it is not easy to have yellow skin on the NBA arena.
However, after appearing, the Raptors immediately chased for 6 points in the fourth quarter!
Kyle Lowry made two three-pointers in a row, while on the Lakers, Li Liang missed two three-pointers!
Li Liang was confused. Damn, they all played me? I was chased as soon as I got started?
Please, brother, if you can't make a shot by yourself, can you blame your teammates for playing you?
Li Liang ran for a long distance, was physically exhausted, and had just made a debut, so he didn't feel anything at all.
The other players played for three quarters and their condition was completely out. How could he make accurate shots in this situation?
Li Liang immediately changed his playing style. He first broke Kyle Lowry in the midfielder, then dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket, and dunked with one hand!
When you are in a bad state, use skills to relieve it.
This goal was very exciting, just this steal dunk, the fans who waited for most of the game were worth it.
This is the first time in Li Liang's career, he made a one-stop dunk after stealing.
When there was no one in front of him, Li Liang could still dribble and dunk.
Then, Li Liang and O'Neal Jr. cooperated with each other on the defensive end.
Activate the skill [Jeff Van Gundy's Death Trap]!
This is a defensive skill obtained after the game against the Heat.
