131: Li Ang said, Lakers championship(2/3)
No, I really have no interest in riding those weird ones.
Moreover, Li Ang really dislikes the center’s lottery package.
Given the nature of this system, there may be some weird rewards.
If he gets a "Dancing with Sharks" badge, dancing can boost the team's morale, etc., Li Ang probably won't be able to use it in his life.
Give me a guard mission, please.
Why don't you give a guy the task of dunking on the top five shooting guards?
I happen to have two on hand right now.
Seeing Li Ang become so popular in the playoffs during his rookie season, Kobe was very jealous.
I think back when he played in the playoffs as a freshman, it was also the semifinals and he faced strong opponents. Kobe averaged only 8.8 points per game.
The shooting percentage was 31.6% and the three-point shooting percentage was 21.1%, reaching a new level.
Of course, when Kobe played in the playoffs in his first year, he also received great attention from the media and fans.
Because Kobe didn't touch for three consecutive games in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
As for Li Ang, he already stood up and carried the team in his first playoff game.
Kobe suddenly felt like, why can't he just do everything?
Think about it carefully, from last summer to now, he has never defeated Li Ang!
He lost the 2V2, lost the dunk contest, and now Li Ang is more popular than Kobe in the playoffs.
Even when riding a roller coaster, it was Kobe who vomited.
Kobe thought he could win when it came to finding a girlfriend, but it turned out that Li Ang also found a girlfriend this season.
It's crazy, Li Ang is a powerful enemy that he can't defeat!
Kobe then worked hard to perform even better in the next Western Conference semifinals!
The next few games were still brutal.
The series returned to Toronto in G3, and the Heat made a strong comeback.
There is a saying, in the original history, the Heat were able to fight the Knicks until the seventh game, which proved that they also had amazing perseverance.
The Heat are not the kind of team that collapses when they encounter a slight setback. Instead of retreating, they will become more courageous as they fight.
What's more, losing to the Raptors at home in the last game was no longer a setback for the Heat, but a shame.
These tough guys come with hatred.
Except for Bowen, it's not that he doesn't have hatred, but he didn't go to Toronto at all.
After being kicked by Li Ang in the last game, Bowen was diagnosed with a mild concussion and stayed in Miami to recuperate.
Every time he meets Li Ang, he gets hurt once, that's it!
Bowen really just wants to go to the West now, not to make money, but to survive.
Although the Menglong fans were very vocal in G3, the angry Mourning still scored 28 points in the three-second zone!
After two fierce games, the elderly Oakley's physical energy was nearly exhausted.
Oakley has not missed any game this season except for being suspended. He has played a whole season at the age of 36 and has to fight against those muscular guys every day.
Oakley has indeed given it his all.
In addition to Mourning, Dan Marley and Hardaway also performed well today.
In the last game, although Mashburn, who was guarded by Li Ang and made 5 of 15 shots, was criticized by the media, in fact, he was not the only one who was stretched by the Heat's offense.
Dan Marley made 1 of 6 shots in the last game, and Hardaway missed all 5 shots and did not score in sports games.
To be honest, their performance was much worse than Mashburn. Mashburn didn't even know how he became the target of criticism.
The gray-haired old man in New York smiled. If I don't focus on you, how can I highlight Li Ang's strength?
Don't ask, asking is just a business operation.
But today, the two defenders also performed well. Not to mention too explosive, at least they reached a normal level.
87 to 79, the Heat relied on stronger strength to win G3. For three consecutive games, the Raptors did not score above 80.
Although Menglong lost, Mashburn still did not attend the press conference after the game.
Because he only made 6 of 16 shots today, and Li Ang also scored 17 points and 14 rebounds today, with a shooting percentage of over 50%.
Mashburn was suppressed by Li Ang for two consecutive games!
Because of Oakley's lack of physical strength, everyone in the Heat team wanted to try their luck inside, so Li Ang actively defended and sent 4 big risks!
Of course, it also slapped the heads of the Heat players very painfully.
Two minutes before the end of the game, Li Ang left the field with six fouls.
On a scale like the Eastern Conference semifinals, Li Ang could leave the game with six fouls.
Think about what the Heat players have been through.
After the game, Marley covered his head and said in an interview with reporters: "Although we won, Leon still gave us a headache."
"What kind of headache is it? Is it Li Ang's scoring that gives you a headache or the rebounding that gives you a headache?"
Marley looked at the reporter with a confused look on his face: "My head just hurts!"
After saying that, Marley rolled his eyes at the reporter. Now the reporter asked really interesting question, what else can be done to hurt him?
I'll slap you on the head and you'll know the pain.
Li Ang is also quite helpless. Even if he doesn't commit six fouls in this game, there is a high probability that he will be unable to recover.
Moreover, Li Ang feels that relying on physical fitness to block shots is not a long-term solution. As long as his ability to predict shots is more accurate, he may have more than 4 risks today, and he will not be guilty of six fouls.
This series made Li Ang truly understand why people say that the playoffs are the real battlefield.
Only in the playoffs will you realize that your abilities are completely insufficient.
Seeing that the Heat won so happily today, Riley, with his slicked back hair, couldn't resist the urge to show off.
Facing the media's criticism, Riley showed a confident smile, feeling like a basketball godfather: "After the next game is over, we will not let the game return to Toronto."
His tone was so arrogant.
If the series does not return to Toronto, translated into human words, the Heat will sweep the Raptors 4-1.
Riley is different from most coaches. Far from hating the media, he actually loves the media.
He loves his gorgeous image in front of the media and loves being in the limelight in front of the media. The last thing Riley can tolerate is to be a mediocre supporting role.
Therefore, facing the Los Angeles media in the summer of 1987, Riley would shout like a player: "I guarantee we will win the championship again."
He and Bird may be the two most pretentious head coaches in the league.
This victory made Riley very relieved. A weak person is a weak person, no matter how hard he works, he is still a weak person.
As a result, in Game 4 of the series, Li Ang told Riley with 20 points and 16 rebounds: "You are just pretending!"
"2 to 2, incredible, the Raptors evened the score tenaciously. Carter and Tracy finally showed their regular season standards tonight, and Leon's performance continued to improve. Look at Pat Riley's expression,
He must be furious now!"
Toronto fans cheered. The three dragons all performed well today. Leon scored 20 points and 16 points, Carter scored 21 points and Tracy McGrady scored 16 points.
The most annoying thing is that the Heat once led the Raptors by 15 points in the second quarter.
The Raptors were able to complete the reversal by relying on quick double-teams and rotations.
Especially at the last moment, Li Ang made two consecutive timely defense changes, which interfered with Marley and Mourning's shots respectively, causing the Heat to miss the key ball.
Pat Riley, a person who cares about his face very much, was slapped hard by Leon, a first-year rookie.
Now, he is really starting to hate that No. 3.
After the game, when Riley faced reporters, he finally did not dare to pretend to be beeping casually anymore.
He was extremely arrogant the day before yesterday, but today he only said one sentence: "No one can reach the Eastern Conference semifinals!"
It's a pity that the Raptors failed to create another miracle in G5 and G6.
The Heat adjusted their defensive strategy. They stayed inside and let the Raptors shoot.
As a result, Carter and Tracy McGrady were shooting crazy three-pointers, and Li Ang was also struggling on the offensive end.
McGrady's performance in the next two games was a disaster, because his physical fitness was simply not enough to cope with the high-intensity series of five games.
As the star player, Carter is under great pressure. Although he does not compete or grab, he also knows that Li Ang has assumed the responsibility that should belong to him in this series.
He really wants to take over the responsibility, but the more he does this, the less likely he is to make a move.
The 10% three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is well-deserved. Perhaps the fierce confrontation and huge pressure caused him to lose his touch. In short, Carter's three-point accuracy is completely incomparable to that in the regular season.
In the final moments of G5 of the series, Li Ang and Tracy McGrady contributed a block and a steal respectively, and got two chances to equalize the score.
But twice in a row, Carter's open three-point shots missed the frame.
To be continued...
