Chapter 255 Words must be cheap
?Mike Brown is enjoying a wonderful time in his coaching career.
As the saying goes, planting melons and planting melons and getting beans. After tremendous pressure at the beginning of the season and debugging in the middle of the season, the Lakers finally reached a very good state at the end of the season.
This is because Gasol has not made a comeback and is not in a mess.
When Gasol returns, someone will lead the bench and there is a tactical point. Then won’t the Lakers take off?
Now Brown feels that he can enter the "custody" state, anyway, he has always been in charge of the offense.
After a season of training, there are basically no major problems.
Although it is not as good as a strong defensive team at level, the Lakers are originally an offensive team, and as long as the defense is not too big, it is acceptable.
After playing the Bulls, the Lakers went to play the Magic and Hawks away.
In a match against Magic, Howard was booed by blockbusters at the Amway Center.
This is expected. Howard's magic farce in the past two years has made him lose all his heart in Orlando.
Now in the Lakers, although they have the best record in the league, Howard's low post in the team is not comparable to the Magic.
Some viewers at the scene greeted Howard with a sign "How about being a little brother in Los Angeles".
Of course Howard could only laugh it off.
If you are in a state and cannot perform as a superstar, you can only be willing to be a younger brother.
But it doesn't matter if he is Kobe's younger brother, and some slogans actually directly read "Howard is Bruce's younger brother."
This is unbearable.
Although Bruce Lee is indeed a magical existence in the Lakers, he is still a rookie on the surface.
Has the name of the rookie old immortal spread throughout the league and reached the ears of other fans?
This made Howard very embarrassed. During the warm-up before the game, there was no smile on his face.
Li Liang felt uncomfortable when he saw this.
Theoretically, I can indeed be the boss, but in the away game, I still have to give face to the veterans.
How can you mess up your relationship with your teammates because of the provocation of away fans?
So Li Liang walked up to Howard and said, "Come on tonight, I will pass more balls to you and deduct them."
Howard glanced at Li Liang and finally squeezed out a smile on his face.
Howard has not had a very good life this season. Although Li Liang is arrogant and unrestrained, he has nothing to say about his teammates' loyalty.
So no matter how much he curses, everyone has no objection to him.
Just curse people, if there is, change it, if there is no, encourage it. Look at how good Mike Brown does, he will almost become the best coach.
After the game started, Li Liang and Nash greeted him and made a goal for Howard when he wanted to start the game.
In fact, there is no need to say that the entire Lakers team knows that Howard will play happily in this game.
The same is true. In the away game, no one supports you in tens of thousands of people, only teammates can support you.
If the teammates don't support each other, the ball will not be played.
So as soon as the game started, Nash, Li Liang and Kobe joined forces to feed Howard the ball.
Kobe broke through and passed the ball, Nash made a pick-and-roll pass, and Li Liang supported the ball on the top of the arc.
Anyway, the Lakers have made up their minds tonight to get Howard to perform well and shut up all the fans at the Magic home court.
Howard was also very proud. After getting the ball in the inside, he dunked hard in the first two goals.
After the fight, both sides began to get a little angry.
Howard had to get the ball inside, and the Magic made a foul and sent Howard to the free throw line.
It was clear that Howard would rather make a free throw than let him shoot well, let alone dunk.
Howard's free throw percentage continues to hover around 5o% this season.
However, tonight, amid the booings in the Amway Center, Howard's free throw shooting percentage was quite good and his level swing was swinging.
He scored 40 free throws! He hit 25 of them.
The 20-year-old fouls were so evident that Howard was surrounded by magic.
But even so, Howard scored an astonishing 41 points in the whole game, scoring 40 points in a single game for the first time this season.
This is really not easy for Howard, whose personal offensive ability has deteriorated.
Howard went from being serious at the beginning to playing with a smile.
Another result of Howard's opening was that Li Liang made a very comfortable shot from outside three-pointers.
No wonder nBa's coaches like to play Insid-out with a level center, which makes playing so easy.
If you don't work, pass it in and shoot it out of the open space. It's simple and practical. Whether the effect is good depends on the player's own condition, whether he can score a single or a three-pointer.
It’s a pity Howard is just a flash in the pan.
The Lakers defeated the Olado Magic without much suspense and continued to move towards the victory.
After the game, Howard seemed very happy.
This is the happiest game he has played this season.
Not only did he win in front of his old club, but he also achieved his best performance in the season, which made all the fans of the court shut up.
Is there anything more enjoyable than this?
When the reporter asked what he thought of being a younger brother rather than a boss in the Lakers, Howard smiled and said, "As long as I can win the championship, it's okay to let me carry my bag."
The result of Howard saying this was that when he left the bus on the Amway Center, everyone hung his luggage on Howard.
Howard was like a mobile luggage rack, regretting it.
But from this incident, we can see that the compatibility between Lakers players has become better and better.
Kobe has been incompatible with Howard in terms of personality since the beginning of the season, and so now.
However, after half a year of getting along, I finally found a way to cooperate.
It is to cooperate on the field and play on the field.
Anyway, it’s enough to do your work together.
A day later, the Lakers left Orlando and arrived in Atlanta.
Phillips Center will play against the Hawks on March 13th.
The two sides had a contest not long ago, and the Lakers narrowly won at home.
For any team with strong forward and point guards, the Lakers will struggle to play.
Before the Phillips Center game begins, there is a small episode.
When Bruce Lee was warming up, he picked up the microphone and said to the audience: "Dear Atlanta fans, I don't know if you still know me, Bruce Lee. Almost a year ago, I came to Atlanta and made a three-pointer in the midfield three-point event here. Then I said, I will stand on the nBa field in the future. A year has passed, and today I am here to tell you, I did it, thank you." The novel "Chasing Qiqi" is chaotic |~~.
As soon as Li Liang finished speaking, he replayed the scene a year ago on the big screen in the center of Phillips.
At that time, Li Liang, 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 third and fourth quarter breaks, Li Liang was drawn and made a three-pointer in the midfield shooting event, and received tens of thousands of dollars in prize money.
Then in his speech on the award, he said that he would stand in the nBa field in the future.
At that time, the Hawks fans thought that this Chinese guy was confused after shooting in a midfield.
Then he was quickly forgotten.
Unexpectedly, almost a year later, he actually stood on the nBa field and became an amazing All-Star player.
The applause was thunderous, and it was given to this Chinese student who created a miracle.
