Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 153
By the last few games of the regular season, the rankings of many teams have been determined. Only the Eagles and Pacers are competing for the last chance to enter the playoffs and sprint with all their strength.

The teams whose rankings in the playoffs have been determined began to rest as much as possible for the main players of the team. There was no 'load management' in this period.

Phil is also thinking about how to rest the team's main players. Kobe's injury is always the team's most dangerous problem, so more rest is a good thing.

The Lakers' penultimate game is a guest at the San Antonio Spurs.

In the locker room, all the players are very relaxed. The first place in the Western Conference in the playoffs has been determined, and there is no chance of breaking history, so they are all very relaxed.

With the two things of footsteps and tactics, Kobe and Li Tian became closer, but only contacted as the big brother of the team, and he also saw that his talent was not only in basketball.

"Have you made a breakthrough in your footsteps recently?" Kobe asked.

"Not yet, it's still a little short, can you apply to Mayfair in the playoffs, and hone your footwork at the basket in the playoffs?" Trying to find out from Kobe.

"There is no problem with this. You can play a few times in some games. Of course, the premise is that you can't affect the game. You are a rookie. Even if you are on the court all the time during garbage time, others will not say anything." He directly agreed.

"No, if it's garbage time to play, it's better to pull you to train together." Finally, he couldn't help but complain.

It just fell into Kobe's calculation.

"Haha, no problem, I'd be more than happy to practice the footwork around the basket with you." Excitedly, he had already calculated that no matter how difficult this footstep is to learn, it's just difficult to learn, not impossible to learn.

"Ah" is quite speechless, I feel cheated, but I can't find a reason, training with Kobe is indeed the best.

"That's it, I'll tell Phil that you don't have to worry about using footsteps in the game." Without waiting for a refusal, Kobe said directly, and then fell asleep pretending to be asleep.

"I can't do this, I want to train in the game." Too speechless, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, let alone that person is Kobe.

I can only admit defeat, start to watch the game video, and face the No. 21 rookie, this guy is a nightmare for many people.

On April 4, local time, the Lakers VS Spurs are about to start.

Before the game, Phil specially arranged for the players to play more and cooperate instead of exerting their full strength.

"You play more at the basket, and you can also play more when facing Duncan, so you don't have to worry too much about making mistakes." Phil encouraged Li Tian to attack more at the basket.

He had already planned to arrange for Li Tian to play center during the substitute period. Even if his weight was not dominant, he had no choice. The team did not have a more suitable player than him.

If Li Tian knew, he might cry, I am still very thin, those big fat guys are not easy to beat.

At the start of the game, both teams are regular starting lineups.

Only 4 minutes into the opening game, Popovich directly called a timeout, replaced all the starters, and all the substitutes came up and down.

Seeing Popovich's operation, even everyone knows that he is different from others, but such an operation is really speechless, and Phil was stunned for two rounds.

It was originally planned to let Li Tian appear on the stage at 6 minutes, face Duncan to gain experience, fight monsters and level up.

After playing a few more rounds, the same operation was done.

The fans were all confused. It could be seen that the head coaches of the two teams warmed up the main players and then left the field. This was all preparing for the playoffs.

When the fans saw this kind of operation, those who watched the live broadcast went crazy.

"I finally skipped a class, and then just to watch this lake horse battle, I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Do you still want to watch this game?"

"Popovich's operation is really a show operation, which is also poisonous in the league."

"Hahaha, didn't expect that?" I'm Popovich, and this is normal operation.

"Not to mention that Phil's operation is not slow, you see, all the substitutes are present, they don't care about it at all." A person watching the show.

"But it's okay, my brother Tian can play more in this game."

"Yes, yes, look, Brother Tian is not lonely."

"I'm here for Brother Tian." A nympho said.

"Nympho, too vain."

"Nympho? You DS, don't be fooling around here, is there a problem supporting your compatriots?"

"Hahaha"

The fans began to argue fiercely.

"Stop arguing upstairs, let's discuss the playoffs, shall we? We can also discuss the best rookie."

"I like this topic, and I finally don't have to bicker anymore. I think the Lakers VS Celtics in the finals may be the biggest. I don't know whether Yi Jianlian or Durant has a chance to become the best rookie."

"Durant's 'soft guy' can still win the best rookie, but he has the face to win the best rookie after being yelled at by Li Tianhammer?"

"But he's a black person, and that's all."

Back on the court, early on, this game got more playing time than ever before.

In order to exercise his breakthrough and the basket, he didn't stay outside the three-point line for 1 minute.

Just playing singles in the paint, Thomas is also a veteran who has played in the league for more than ten years, and he still has a lot of experience at the basket.

Non-stop use of 'Fantasy Footsteps' singles, the success rate is not bad.

Popovich's sudden coquettish operation not only caught the Lakers off guard, but also the fans shouted disappointment.

The Spurs started the whole game with the 'Demon Knife' and only played less than 20 minutes, and they came off the bench the rest of the time.

Phil was more ruthless and only allowed Kobe and Gasol to play for 15 minutes. Li Tian played 38 minutes, setting his longest playing time with the Lakers.

As expected, the Lakers won the Spurs game 85-106 away.

整场比赛18中14，加上罚球，再次拿到了三双30分13篮板10助攻的全面数据。

In the post-match interview, Kobe and Li Tian played at the same time, and Gasol slipped away.

"Kobe can talk about your goals for the playoffs?" The same is true for reporters, and the regular season is not considered.

"Of course it is the championship, and there is only one goal." Kobe said decisively, sounding so unquestionable, it made people feel his dedication to the championship.

I asked Kobe several questions in a row, but they all gave blunt answers.

"Phil, can you tell me that Popovich replaced the starter in advance, and Duncan only played less than 20 points. What do you think about this?" the reporter asked.

"Every head coach has his own arrangements, and I won't make any comments on it." The reporter encountered a soft nail here in Phil.

"Can you tell me, how will you play in the playoffs?" The reporter asked, hoping to get some valuable answers.

"It's very simple, just let the team play well on the court." replied.

"Uh" the reporter has 1 CNM in his mind, can we still talk about it?

The other reporters were about to change to another person and began to question Li Tian.

"You got a triple-double again in this game. In the few games where Kobe played fewer games, you got good data. Usually you can't get better data. Is it because of Kobe's suppression?" The reporter said in the naked challenge.

"Really? I didn't realize that it was Kobe who encouraged me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get such good data." This provocation is too obvious, and I have prepared for a long time.

"Will your playing time be increased in the playoffs? You performed very well in the Lakers, both scoring and defending are better than Odom." Changing personal provocations, the reporter made up his mind.

"How long to play, that's Phil's business, you should ask him, he is sitting over there. I will follow the coach's arrangement, as long as he needs me to play, I will grow as long as possible." Throw the question directly to the head coach.

The reporter is also a dog, and the playoffs are approaching, so I want to ask a question, why is it so difficult?

'A group of old dogs' the reporter complained in his heart.

The post-match interview also ended hastily.

Seeing Li Tian who can cope so well, Phil feels more and more that he is more fragrant.

Able to shoot three-pointers, excellent inside footwork, active defense, willing to do any kind of tiring work, never raised objections, and this breakthrough, CIC has been doing well recently.What can I do with a basic salary, mainly because I still came up with such a shocking tactic, I was like an old fritter during the interview.

'It smells so good! ’ Phil cried inwardly, taking another look at Kobe.

'I also want to shout, it's really delicious, but it's a pity that the contract has not been renewed in advance. 'Kobe is also very emotional.

The Lakers started the playoff preparation mode. They chose to ignore the last game against the Kings. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose, so there is no need to pay attention to this issue.

With a big wave of his hand, Phil followed Popovich's lead and replaced the starter in the first 4 minutes. This time, all 12 players completed their debut.

Kobe Bryant watched his teammates play in the presence of an old god, and chatted with Mrs. Jia without saying a word, and laughed a few times from time to time.

Li Tian also only played 15 minutes and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Not surprisingly, the same was true for the king who was about to play badly. He didn't have any thoughts in the fight, but just ran back and forth mechanically.

The Lakers won their last home game.

At the end of the regular season, the call for Kobe to become the MVP of the season is getting louder and louder. Many media have begun to discuss this topic, and it is also the main topic of discussion in the two days after the end of the regular season.

There are different opinions. Kobe played 82 games, averaged 38.9 minutes per game, scored 28.3 points, and led the team to a record of 60 wins and 22 losses.

The record of the Celtics is the best in the league, but the existence of the Big Three made them directly cut off the chance of winning the MVP.

James, who is also very popular, but the record gap is too big. He only got a record of 45 wins and 37 losses, that is, in the East. If he can't even make the playoffs in the West, he wants to win the regular season. I want P to eat that.

Others like Dirk, Nash, and Duncan also have little chance. Dirk just won the MVP last season, and then he was hacked. It is estimated that he is a little scared when he hears the word MVP now, and his record is not as good as the Lakers. .

Similarly, although Nash still won a double-double, aesthetic fatigue also exists.

Duncan also started to maintain his health. Under the premise that the team won, Popovich would not play him again. He averaged less than 32 minutes per game and scored more points than the "Demon Sword" who came off the bench. .

Li Tian feels that Kobe's MVP is still relatively stable.
