Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 386

After sending Kobe away, Li Tian didn't get up to start training, but chose to enjoy it. Yesterday's game consumed a lot of energy.

The game played with the intensity of the playoffs, so we must rest well.

On January 09, 1 local time, at 14:[-] pm, at the home court of the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers will challenge the Spurs away.

Yesterday, the fierce battle with the Mosaic team made the Lakers players very tired.The only one who seemed to have no problem with his physical fitness was Bynum. Because Phil was very angry with his performance, he deliberately reduced his playing time, and finally played less than 20 minutes.

In the away locker room before the game, Kobe looked gloomy, not because he won the game yesterday, but because he was heartbroken yesterday.

Waking up early, I even chose to give up my favorite training, but in the end I failed to get my wish.Yao Ming refused and made a deal this season, telling him clearly that he would not choose to make a deal this season.

"Kobe, don't be like this, this state will affect the morale of the team." Li Tian came over and reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" He said he was fine, but his face was still gloomy, and he didn't regain his former fighting spirit.

It is no secret that the Lakers expect Yao Ming.As early as when O'Neal applied for a trade, the Lakers management considered trading Yao Ming to the Lakers.

But in the end, Mosaic's management vetoed the deal. They believed that O'Neal's peak period had passed, and the new big contract was not suitable for Mosaic, who has always been stingy.

In 05, when Yao Ming did not sign a second contract, Kobe tried to tell Yao Ming not to rush to renew his contract, and the Lakers would give him a lucrative contract.But in the end, lobbying Yao Ming failed. In 05, he signed a five-year 5 million contract with Mosaic in advance.

After that, when Kobe Bryant applied for a trade in 07, the Lakers management once again hoped to obtain Yao Ming through a trade to strengthen the weak inside of the Lakers.But it still ended in regret, and the deal could not be completed. Before the deal got Gasol, the Lakers management never gave up. It can only be a pity that the deal was rejected in the end.

Maybe only the regret is the most beautiful. With regret, the imperfect can achieve the ultimate perfection.

In fact, everyone has overlooked one point. In this era, it is not like later, a star player wants to leave his home team.Post yourself on social media, and you want to be traded, and the team will trade you.In this era, the player who has done this is Kobe, but that is because he has the right to veto transactions.

Even the powerful O'Neill did not have this right at that time.Just look at James, doesn't he want to leave Kecun to win the championship?But why hasn't it been revealed to the media that he wants to leave Kecun through a trade, this is the most basic quality of a star in that era.

The Mosaic team back then could match any contract, so even if Yao Ming didn't renew his contract in advance in 05, the Mosaic team would match any team's offer in 06.

Yao Ming was a golden mountain back then. As long as any team got him, even if they only played for one year, the market value of the team could be greatly increased.

But there is one thing that everyone recognizes, that is, Phil said, "If I coach Yao, I can't say that I will definitely win the championship, but his career will definitely be longer than this!"

Even in 12, before Yao Ming was about to announce his retirement, the Lakers management communicated with him, hoping to sign him.But at that time, Yao Ming considered that his body could no longer support him, so he galloped on the basketball court, and finally chose to refuse.

"Kobe, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Jia also stepped forward to ask.

The specific reason, Kobe can't say it, he can't tell Gasol, "I'm because, even if the team sends you out, they can't trade Yao."

If he really said it, it is estimated that Gasol will burst out to the media the next day that he wants to seek a deal and leave the Lakers.

"It's nothing, yesterday's game was too tiring, I didn't have a good rest in the morning, just take a rest!" I played sloppy and fooled it.

"Okay, take a good rest, we will face the Spurs next, our old opponent!" Don't forget to remind who is the opponent tonight.

At 9:00 p.m. local time, the game officially begins.

Spurs starting: Bonner, Duncan, Finley, Mason, Parker.

"Beep!" The game officially started.

"Man, regain your confidence, the last game was just a coincidence, don't be discouraged!" Li Tian walked up to Bynum and said.

The last game, until now, still makes Bynum confused.

"I will!" His eyes were full of determination, maybe Li Tian's encouragement played a role, at least, on the surface, it seemed that he was in better condition.

In fact, I was panicking inside. I played against Yao Ming yesterday, and after finishing a game, I only got 1 rebound.There may still be a lot of time in this game, and it is another difficult nut to crack against Duncan.

Bynum walked to the field, and Duncan bounced the ball.

The referee threw the basketball into the air, and the game kicked off.

Duncan was scheming and used the rhythm to win the jump ball.

Parker holds the ball, breaks through the defense, distributes the ball to Bonner at the basket, and hits a jumper.

Looking back, Kobe used the same method to launch an offense and pass back to Li Tian who was outside the three-point line.

Because of last season and the playoffs, the Spurs' strongest perimeter defender, Bruce Bowen, completely lost confidence in defense.At the beginning, I planned to announce my retirement at the beginning of the season. Finally, due to the lobbying of Popovich, Duncan and other players, they agreed to play for another year.

However, it is required that when playing against the Lakers, his playing time should be reduced as much as possible. He does not want to sit in a wheelchair after retiring, which shows how deep a psychological shadow Li Tian has planted on him.

After receiving the ball, Finley rushed over desperately.

"Touch!" For the first time, it can be said that Li Tian hit the iron with three points without any interference.

The Lakers tried several consecutive three-pointers from the outside, but failed to make one.

"Guys, let's change our offensive strategy and play inside!" Kobe called his teammates around and said.

"No problem, I agree!" There is no way to disagree. Fisher and Li Tian, ​​outside the three-point line, are 4 for 0. They can only start from the inside. That must still be three points.

After a brief adjustment, the Lakers' shooting percentage improved. Gasol played bravely, shooting 8 of 7 in the interior and scoring 14 points; Bynum also played well 3 of 2 and scored 4 points.

Phil also decisively made substitution adjustments, replacing Li Tian with Odom.

"Li, what's going on?" Phil asked concerned, and had to ask, the shooting percentage of 4 for 0 was almost as good as Kobe's.

"I was a little tired from the game yesterday, and I didn't rest today." It is true, and this is why many teams and players hate back-to-backs.

Back-to-backs like the Lakers are already pretty good. Mosaic and the Spurs are very close, so the journey didn't take too long.But the players are really tired. Li Tian's hand feeling is the best performance. Phil can't help but wonder if Gasol is taking drugs today, otherwise how could he be so brave.

While talking, after Odom came on the court, he also hit 3 of 2. Kobe was double-teamed by Mason and Parker in the first quarter and only got 2 shots. He scored 2 points and 1 assists in 2 of 3.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Spurs by 25 points at 30:5.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe ushered in an explosion, scoring 8 points in 6 of 14, but Li Tian's shooting percentage still fell to freezing point, 4 of 1.

At the end of the first half, the Spurs widened the point difference to 58 points at 65:7.

At the beginning of the second half, the intermission did not allow Li Tian to regain his touch, which continued to be cold.

湖人队，第三节没有顶住马刺的进攻，邓肯5中3、帕克5中3、梅森5中3，马刺队第三节得到32分；湖人队科比5中1、李天4中1，就连首节8中7的加索尔，命中率大幅度下降4中1，这一节仅仅得到26分，分差再次被拉开。

After three quarters, 84:97, the Lakers trailed by 13 points.

Even in the last quarter, Kobe and Li Tian all broke out, but they didn't play a explosive performance.Facing the Spurs who relied on overall defense, the Lakers also failed to regain the point difference.

In the end, they lost the back-to-back games with a score difference of 102:112.

In this game, Kobe scored 27 points, Gasol scored 20 points, and Li Tian only scored 15 points. It was almost the game he scored the least this season, except for the three-quarter clock-in game.

Greetings from both sides after the game.

Duncan was very happy, with a happy face, and walked towards Li Tian.

"Man, how is it? Are you convinced to lose this game?" Just to get revenge, last season, Li Tian teased him after the playoffs.

"No, you just won against me who didn't feel good. If it was the playoffs, you still wouldn't have a chance. I didn't show my full strength!" Admit it, it's impossible, the playoffs are the real stage.

"Damn it, it doesn't feel good, it's part of the game!" I just wanted to say that the future is yours, but Li Tian's words reminded him that last season, the Spurs lost in the playoffs.

"Haha, in the next game, I will tell you that clocking in three quarters is the normal rhythm of the game!" Provocative.

"Damn it, the next game will still be the Spurs!" After speaking, Duncan turned and left without waiting for an answer, leaving the back of his head for Li Tian.

Fortunately, it wasn't Ginobili. The boy with fluttering hair had already been spoiled by Duncan.

After the game ended in a hurry, Phil did not fly back to Los Angeles in a hurry, but chose to let the players rest for a night before leaving. He did not want the players to fly back to Los Angeles overnight, causing the players to not have enough rest and suffer injuries.

Losing this game, the Lakers' winning streak was once again ended. The current record is 36 wins and 2 losses, still leading the league.The record of the rival Celtics has dropped sharply. After the game lost to the Lakers, the next 12 games, 6 wins and 6 losses, the record can no longer compete with the Lakers.

The Lakers still lead the league in record.

Just when the Lakers lost to the Spurs, the Mosaic management got together again.
