Do you know if you defend, defend the last goal? This is the last distance between us and the champion, and a semester of hard work. Come on, boys, come on! Go ahead!"

Bellman is making the final mobilization.

This is the final of the second-tier final of the California High School Basketball League on April 1, 1981, in Los Angeles.

The two sides are Northern California champions, Palo Alto Vikings, and Southern California champion Riverside High School.

The game has reached its last moment, and the Vikings led Riverside High School by 64:63 by 1 point.

In the last 3.5 seconds, Riverside High School has the last chance to attack.

Li Liang has scored 35 points in this game.

After a period of training in the mission, his football skills have improved very quickly.

He is already an excellent center forward, proficient in turnover jump shot skills, has outstanding strength, and dominant defense.

The Vikings passed the slightest lineup from an unknown weak brigade, won the Northern California championship in one fell swoop, and reached the finals.

They are still 3.5 seconds away from the championship and have to defend against the last goal.

The timeout ended, the game started again, and Li Liang returned to the stadium.

He stared at a very thin bald man from Riverside High School.

The referee blew the whistle and the game was suspended and continued.

The bald man ran on the court and wanted to run out of the open space. He ran out, received the ball, turned around and jumped!

But a big hand reached over and gently tapped the ball.

The ball had already taken the ball, but it deviated from the route far away and fell halfway.

It was Li Liang. He adjusted his pace, took the right shot, and blocked the opponent's final goal!

At the end of the game, the score was frozen at 64:63, and the Palo Alto Vikings won the game!

The Vikings players flocked to the court, Li Liang raised his hands high, and at the same time he saw the stands, waving a huge flag of the "Gan Family Restaurant".

Not far away, a thin and lonely figure left, wearing a No. 5 jersey with the words "miller" printed on it.

After ecstasy and cheering, the surroundings fell into darkness. Li Liang knew that his journey to Palo Alto High School was about to come to an end.

This journey was intermittent, starting from the first game of entering high school and until becoming the state champion, running through Li Liang's 2016-2017 NBA regular season.

Li Liang had a completely different experience in the mission than in real life.

The basketball career that starts from scratch, full of passion and passion.

For a while, when the regular season was particularly tired, Li Liang even liked to enter the system tasks to relax and experience the fun brought by basketball again.

And in this process, the regular season of the 2016-2017 season is coming to an end.

On April 12, 2017, the last day of the regular season, the Kings finished their last regular season game.

The opponent against the Clippers, Li Liang chose to take a rest for everyone.

Before this game, the Kings had a record of 57 wins and 24 losses.

57 wins are the first time Li Liang has not won 60 wins in the regular season in his career.

However, the Kings have achieved the best regular season record since the 2003-2004 season.

There is another last game, if you win the Clippers, the Kings will win 58!

This can be used to commemorate their opponent, Li Liang's former teammate Chris Paul.

But Li Liang still chose to take a turn to allow the main players to get enough rest before the playoffs.

For the Kings, 57 wins or 58 wins no longer affect their Western rankings.

The top three in the West have been confirmed, the Warriors, Spurs and the Kings.

The Thunder fell behind after the All-Star game because Westbrook had an injury and missed most of the All-Star game.

Thunder, who had been healthy last year, fell out of the team due to injury this year.

However, they still ranked fifth in the West with a record of 54 wins.

The Lakers are ahead of the Thunder with a record of 55 wins, and the two teams will start a battle in the first round.

The Los Angeles Clippers ranked sixth.

The Clippers have not been up or down in the past two seasons. It seems that after winning the championship, the team has entered a state of gliding.

If you encounter the king in the first round, there will be more misfortunes.

So, in the last game of the regular season, the Clippers got addicted to the Kings, defeating the Kings at 115:90 and 25 points.

In this way, the Kings ended the regular season with a loss, with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses.

Although this result is Li Liang's worst regular season record in his career, if you have read the NBA historical statistics, you will know that 57 wins and 25 losses are a magical record.

From the 1968 season, after the NBA officially established the 82 regular season game system, excluding the shrinking season, to the current decades, among the teams entering the finals, the most regular season record is 57 wins and 25 losses, reaching 10 times! (If you include the 2016 Cavaliers in parallel time and space, it will reach 11 times, and the Warriors will account for 12 times in 2019.)

Among them, the number of teams that won the championship was 5 (if the Cavaliers were included in the 2016, it was 6), reaching half.

In other words, this is a "champion record" and seems to have a magical power.

Li Liang is very satisfied with this record.

For him personally, it is indeed the worst in his career.

But for the entire Kings, the first thing they got to know is that they had the strength to compete for the championship, and it is not a problem to have a few wins.

Anyway, Li Liang has an away advantage.

Moreover, in the second half of the season, Li Liang has been debugging the lineup and testing his playing style, and he has done more skillfully in the position of head coach.

For him, the regular season has completely become a martial arts field, and the playoffs are the real battlefield.

After two days off, the 17th season's playoffs kicked off on April 15.

On the first day, the Warriors played against the eighth-ranked Trail Blazers, and the Kings played against the sixth-ranked Clippers.

Before the game started, Kings center Cousins ​​was very nervous, so nervous that he didn't speak much.

This is Cousins' first time in his career to playoffs.

As the No. 1 center of the NBA this season, Cousins ​​has no experience in the playoffs before, which shows how lonely the NBA's inside line is.

Li Liang rubbed Cousins' shoulders before the game started and said, "Who is the opponent tonight?"

"Clippers."

"Yes, Clippers, are you nervous? Do you think we will lose?"

"I don't know... no, we will definitely win, we will definitely win!"

"There is no certainty. We just lost the game the day before yesterday, nothing is certain."

After Li Liang said this, Cousins ​​was a little confused. Why didn’t even Bruce Li say it?

That's the end?

Li Liang took out his cell phone and asked Cousins, "Come on, predict the score of this game."

"What?" Cousins ​​was a little confused about what Li Liang was talking about.

"I said I would like to predict the score of this game. We don't care about the Clippers. I predict the Kings, how many points will our Kings get."

Cousins ​​fell into deep thoughts. He knew that Li Liang liked to make predictions before the game, but never predicted the king.

Is it because of the playoffs that he is going to start setting up a fg for his team on Twitter?

This idea is very dangerous.

But Li Liang asked very tightly and said loudly: "Tell me Cousins! How many points will we score in this game!"

Everyone in the locker room heard it, looked at Cousins, staring at him.

Cousins ​​had to say it, and he couldn't say it less, saying, "Tonight... we're going to win tonight, we're going to get 130 points!"

"Ok, 130 points." As he said that, Li Liang posted a message on Twitter, "I will get 130 points tonight."
Chapter completed!
