Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 610 Rest, Durant's Growth

After the game against the Wizards, the Lakers will start their road trip again. Only for the remaining five games in March, the Lakers will play away games.

They have to challenge the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Mosaics, New Orleans Hornets and Atlanta Hawks.

The Spurs are a veteran team. Of course, in the past two seasons, due to the serious decline in the forward defensive ability, they have always been the team in the second half of the playoffs.

If it weren't for the stable performance of the three elders, there is a high probability that they will be squeezed out of the ranks of the playoffs, but Popovich, who is getting older and more demonic, will not let his team out of the ranks of the playoffs.

In the pre-match interviews, the two teams did not do too much to provoke each other, because they all knew that facing such an old opponent, it would be useless to say anything before the game, only to play one ball on the court.

In this game, the players of both teams were all bayonets, and Li Tian was almost sent off. Fortunately, the referee was strong, and the last foul was not called. Of course, his defensive actions were much smaller.

Every time it was an offense with a red arm, he had never found the touch until the last few minutes. At the last moment, he hit two consecutive three-pointers and finally sealed the victory.

92:87 The Lakers won the game by a narrow margin.

In this game, he got 26 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 fouls. It was the first time he got 4X5 data. Unfortunately, one of them was a foul. If it was a steal or a block, it would be even more perfect.

Of course, all of this is a dream, and maybe it will become a reality, only in the future, not today.

******
"Li, we need to chat." When everyone was doing regular training, Phil came over and said in a low voice.

"Okay." After tidying up briefly, he walked over with Phil.

When I came to Phil's room, Kobe, Gasol and Fisher were all there. It's just this sitting posture. Gasol's sitting posture is a bit ecstasy. No, it's vomiting to be precise. He even imitated the enchanting girl sitting posture.

The first time he saw it, he almost ran away. If Kobe and Fisher hadn't been sitting on the side, he would have been scared away.

"Okay, let me just say it briefly."

"The playoffs are coming soon, and we have 11 games left in the regular season. I don't want the team to suffer any injuries during this period, so the team will have a rest in the next few games. " Phil said with a smile.

For these, all teams aspiring to a championship will do the same, and the Spurs are one of the most typical teams.

Of course, all teams will not take rotations in the last few games of the regular season, because they need to keep the team players in good condition, they will release water but they will never not play.

"Why do you need to take a rest in this game, can't you do it in the next game?" Kobe still objected intentionally. For him, he was unwilling to take a rest in every game. Only on the court is his best value. reflect.

Fisher and Gasol, the two of you look at me, I look at you, neither said anything, they all hope to take turns.

Fisher is really old, and proper rotation is a good thing for him, at least it can increase the recovery speed of physical functions, after all, he is no longer young.The same is true for Gasol. Although the team seldom uses the death five in the game, but there is a lot of training in the training game. A game is also a good choice.

Kobe glanced at the two and knew that they wanted to take turns, but he really didn't want to take turns. Then he put his eyes on him, hoping that he could stand up and support him.

"Phil, why not the next game, the next game, we will challenge Mosaic back-to-back away, wouldn't it be better to rest at that time?"

Feeling Kobe's hot eyes, he still stood up to support, otherwise no one would know what Kobe would do.

"Li, we couldn't let you rest in that game, because the league has warned us long ago."

Phil tapped lightly on the schedule on the table.

It can only be said that the alliance management is still very prescient.

He only pays attention to when to play the game, but in many cases he will directly ignore who the opponent is.

After seeing the opponents in the next game clearly, Li Tiancai understood why Phil didn't let them rest in that game.Against Mosaic, for the league, this is a Celestial Derby. If they dare to rest in this kind of game, Stern will give a huge fine that day. This is the most important selling point of his globalization of the NBA. How dare you take a rest? , and almost all the starters are rested, how could he tolerate such a thing happening.

"Okay, I support you Phil, then the next round of rest."

I can only nod in support, the strategy of the rotation cannot be changed, but the number of games of the rotation can be advanced one game, blatantly against Stern, he will definitely make the Lakers miserable.

"Hmph!" Seeing that everyone agreed to take a rest, Kobe could only nod in agreement, but in the end he slammed the door to express his dissatisfaction with the rest.

He and Phil looked at each other and smiled. Obviously, such a thing had already been expected, and there was nothing strange about it.

In the evening, as soon as the Lakers' starting roster was submitted, they received unanimous condemnation from the media.Of course, these media are all possible opponents in the playoffs. They don't want the Lakers starters to take turns.

As for why Bynum didn't take a rest, the main reason is that this guy often can't control his hand during the game. rest.

Before the game, Durant has been fighting a war of words, what should he do to Li Tian?
But when he saw the Lakers starting roster, he was stunned, feeling his performance on social media, everything was empty, like a punch in cotton.

The reason for the injury submitted by the Lakers is also a bit helpless.Kobe Bryant, finger discomfort, the team doctor suggested rest; Gasol, Achilles tendon discomfort, a tentative rest; Fisher, old injury repeated, wrist discomfort; Li Tian, ​​physical discomfort, the next game is doubtful.

I have to sigh, among these reasons for injury, only his reason is the most bizarre. This reason really makes people speechless, because this cannot be detected at all. He is unwell, what can you do.

The game officially begins!
Lakers starting: Farmar, Sun Yue, Artest, Odom, Bynum;

Thunder starters: Westbrook, Sefolosha, Green, Durant, Krstic.

The game went on as scheduled, but the level of excitement has changed a lot. The Lakers' lineup has undergone huge changes. The substitute players who were mentioned as the starting lineup are all holding back their energy and want to show themselves.

Of course, they also used too much force. In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers trailed by 15 points at 27:12.

"Li, your opponent is getting stronger and stronger." Gasol whispered.

They are taking turns off, but they are not wearing suits, but wearing sportswear, sitting on the sidelines, watching the game leisurely, and they don't care about the outcome of the game at all.

"Yes, his talent is indeed very strong. Among the rookies of that year, he was only a little worse than me." He said with a bit of stinky fart.

If it is really ranked according to the talent at the time, Oden is undoubtedly the strongest one, a player with historical talent, Durant's talent is ranked second, there is no doubt that it exists, but it is a pity, God is jealous of talents Oden has lost everything in the NBA.

"Hey, you actually praised him for his talent?" Gasol was a little surprised, because in his memory, he had never heard his teammate say good things about Durant. Most of the time, he belittled Durant. .

"That's true. Although I think his ability is average, his talent is still very strong. If it weren't for my sudden appearance, he would definitely be the most powerful existence among NBA rookies in 07, but he is still inferior to me. A little bit."

Hearing his self-promotion, no one refuted it. It is true. If the rookies in 07 were divided into several grades according to their strength, he was undoubtedly the only one, and then Durant was also considered to be the first grade above everyone else. exist.

Followed by players such as Marc Gasol, Arab League, Horford, Noah, Conley, etc., followed by Scola, Jeff Green, El Thornton and others.

This season's UAE, the data has been strengthened again. Of course, because the Eastern All-Star competition is too great, he was not selected as the starter, and naturally he will not be selected by the coach as a substitute. Unfortunately, he passed by the All-Star.With an average of 19.8 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, he also belongs to the top few in the ranking of Western forwards, but it is a pity that his team's record is too poor.

Durant singles Odom again, turned around and made a mid-range hit!

"Yes, he is very talented, but I have always had doubts about his height." Seeing Durant playing against Odom in singles, Kobe saw that Odom's height had no advantage at all. His feeling is that Durant is much taller.

"Yes, his physical talent is indeed very strong, but his physical strength is a bit weak. He must be unwilling to play the center position, so he lied about his height. Adding such players to hand-to-hand combat is scary when you think about it."

After reacting, he quickly explained.

Durant lied about his height. Who knows, he is really not good at the basket. It is estimated that he will not play many games and will be reimbursed for the season.

Another success in singles, even Artest, who has a stronger defensive ability, can't limit his change of direction and breakthrough.

"Durant is a very talented player, and his future achievements will not be too low." Phil appreciates this kind of talented player very much, because his tactical concept is to drive ordinary players to win. Contest.

In the past two seasons, he has been extremely relaxed. There are Kobe Bryant at the historical level in the team, as well as Li Tian, ​​a rising star whose future achievements are unpredictable, plus Gasol, a power forward who is only weaker than Duncan, and what was once called 'Left-handed magician' Lamar Odom, Ron Artest with strong defense, Fisher with big heart, Bynum. Forget it, he is nothing now.

Watching Durant's growth, Li Tian raised an imperceptible smile. After all, invincibility is the loneliest. If Durant grows up, if Curry can also grow up, he will not be lonely in the future.
