Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 166

Sweeping again means more rest time. After receiving the news at the first time, I asked the team for leave and returned to China with Yao Ming. After dealing with many things, I dragged my tired body back to Los Angeles.

During this period, Kobe got his wish to get the MVP.

To Li Tian's surprise, Taylor was already waiting for him at the Los Angeles Airport.

"Taylor, why are you here?" asked indifferently, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but more of sadness.

"I know you came back from heaven, and I'm waiting for you here, I'm worried," he said with sobs.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm fine now, nothing will happen. I'll take you back." Seeing that Taylor should have been waiting for a long time, he wanted to send her back so that he could have a good rest.

"It's okay, I'll take it home for you." After speaking, without waiting for Li Tian to refuse, he dragged him away from the airport.

Along the way, did not say a word.

Taylor didn't leave either, and stayed in the villa to take care of Li Tian.

After taking leave for a week, I returned to the training hall again, and all my teammates came forward to comfort me.

"Don't worry, everyone, how are the other rounds of the series?" he asked.

His teammates were not surprised when he asked this sentence. Gasol said, "The other rounds of the series are still going on. We swept the series for two consecutive rounds, so the media are optimistic about us and have the opportunity to break the playoffs." Championship record.

At present, the Pistons defeated the Magic 4:1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals; the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 4:3, and the Big Three also entered the Eastern Conference Finals, but they will compete with the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals for the chance to enter the Finals; in the West, As you might expect, the aging No. 21 rookie led the Spurs to a 4-3 victory over the young Hornets, and we will face the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. "

After listening to it, I feel similar to what I remember. After all, the memory of 58 guns has never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals in his previous ten years of playoffs. It was not until he was traded to the Suns that he touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Unsurprisingly, the young Cavaliers were still educated by three old guys. Last year, they were educated by another three old guys. They also left a wise saying "the future is yours", which has deceived James for many years.

"Aren't you surprised?" Fisher felt that this rookie was too calm.

"There is nothing surprising. The Spurs and Celtics advanced to the semifinals, which was expected before. Looking at the Pistons and Magic, the Magic are too young, and the Pistons still retain their strongest system. The Pistons are extremely strong, and the Magic will not have any chance. Therefore, there is no surprise for the four teams that advanced to the semifinals, and the results are normal."

Li Tian's analysis is nothing special. He didn't even analyze the players of each team. He only analyzed the experience and the overall team, but the analysis is indeed remarkable. Considering these teams as a whole, let's move on A round is normal, after all, these teams are more integrated.

"Then let's analyze the semifinals." Kobe said with a smile.

"Is it still necessary to analyze this? Just ask Farmar and you will know the result, analysis is a fart." During the chat with teammates, the mood eased.

"Ah" Kobe was a little embarrassed, turned and glanced at Farmar, as if to say, 'You really know? '

"Boss, there is no need to analyze this at all. The victory must belong to the Lakers. Do you need to doubt this?" After speaking, he smiled presumptuously. This was the first time he had such a pleasant chat with Kobe.

"Haha!" Odom laughed, glanced at Kobe and said, "Kobe, you are too pessimistic about your team, you are breaking the hearts of all the players."

The chat was still going on happily, but Li Tian still hadn't recovered from his grief, and his face was still full of sadness.

The team started training, and Taylor watched the training from the sidelines without saying anything.

"Taylor, why don't you go back first, I really don't have any problems now." Stepped forward and said to Taylor.

"Don't persuade me anymore, I'm afraid of losing you, so I won't leave until you return to normal." Although Taylor's voice was not loud, she was very strong, and she had no doubt that she would always be here with him.

Li Tian felt that he would owe too much in this way, how could he repay it in the future.

After persuasion for a long time, Taylor did not change his decision, so he could only let it go, and came over from time to time after training to chat with Taylor.

"This is Li?" Kobe stepped forward and asked.

"You know her. She was worried that something might happen to me, so she insisted on staying with me, saying that she would not leave until I fully recovered. No matter how much I persuaded her, she was unwilling to leave." Spreading her hands, she felt a little helpless, but in her heart There is indeed a sense of warmth.

For Taylor at this moment, it can be regarded as a complete acceptance, and it is only the last step.

"Such a good girl, don't miss it." Kobe said with a smile.

Nodding his head, Taylor, who was sitting beside him, had a panoramic view.

Not long after, Mrs. Wa came to the training hall.

"Kobe, what are you?" Kobe asked, looking at him.

"What else can you do? You can't let such a girl stay here all the time, can you? If it is photographed by some media and reported, think about how much it will affect you." Kobe is a person who has experienced The destruction of the media, fortunately, is a strong will, otherwise it may have already fallen.

"Thank you, Boss Ke."

It was another day of training, and Taylor followed suit for two consecutive days.

Even a heart of iron will be warmed up.

On May 2008, 5 local time, at the Staples Center, the Spurs challenged the Lakers away, and the first Western Conference Finals began.

Compared with the previous two rounds of the series, the fans' shouts have reached a new level.

Even if you are talking face to face, the decibels are too low to hear what the other party is saying.

This game, TNT broadcast live across the United States, and every subsequent Western Conference semifinals, TNT will conduct a national live broadcast, this is all money.

Spurs starters: Duncan, Parker, Bowen, Ginobili, Oberto;

Lakers starters: Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Skier, Odom, Fisher.

"Kenny, the Spurs actually changed their starting lineup and mentioned Ginobili to the starting lineup." Barkley said with emotion.

"Yes, but I'm not optimistic about this operation. Bringing Ginobili to the starting lineup can indeed increase their scoring ability in the starting lineup, but no one on the bench can stand up and score." Smith said.

"Yes, yes, this is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst." Buckley blinked and teased Smith from time to time.

"Hahaha, Barkley, you finally used a word correctly." Smith looked at Barkley dotingly, as if his own child had learned another word.

"The Spurs were also helpless. They played 5 games against the Suns in the first round. It seemed that they won easily. Plenty." Smith knew that in this round of the series, the Spurs were hanging.

For the Spurs lineup, Oberto is a fake starter and will definitely not play for too long.

At the beginning, Kobe did not attack wildly, but observed the Spurs' defense, and changed his offensive strategy at any time according to the changes in the defense.

Bowen defended close to the body, and Duncan flanked him from time to time, making it difficult for Kobe to break through, so he decisively pressed the assist button and stopped attacking hard.

"Regular rotation time, why didn't Phil arrange for Lee to play, the Lakers played very difficult in the first quarter, and urgently needed him to help the team open space." Barkley said with emotion.

"Maybe it's his idea to use it as a secret weapon in the second quarter." Smith didn't understand either. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, Li Tian averaged more than 15 points per game and was extremely efficient on the defensive end. Why did the rotation break this time, and Li was not arranged to appear on the stage.

It's really not that Phil didn't arrange for Li Tian to appear, but that he didn't dare. Looking at the state at this time, it wasn't that he was worried that he would not be able to help the team because of his poor state.

Instead, I worry that if the state is not good and there is an injury on the stage, it will be a heavy blow to the Lakers, and they cannot bear such a big blow.

At the end of the first quarter, he walked up to Li Tian and asked, "Can you come on stage?"

"No problem, now the state is very good." Nodding his head and said.

"Okay, get ready to go on stage." Phil said in a deep voice, after some ideological struggle, he made this decision.

Taylor, who was sitting behind him, frowned and looked worried, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

The Lakers trailed by three points at 27:24. At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe led the bench and continued to play.

"Wow, Lee finally played, and the Spurs are in trouble." Barkley shouted.

At this time, neither Barkley nor Smith will think that the Spurs can win the game because of the Spurs' lead in the first quarter.The Lakers have rested for too long, and they still need to adapt to the rhythm of the game in the first quarter.

There was a hint of surprise in Popovich's eyes on the sidelines. He thought that Li Tian had some kind of injury, and Phil didn't arrange him to play. Now it seems that it shouldn't be because of this.

In the first round of the game, Kobe went straight to the basket and gave it to Li Tian on the outside. After receiving the ball, he scored the corner Odom and hit a three-pointer.

At 27:27 between the two teams, the Lakers tied the score.

The Spurs attacked, and Li Tian defended Duncan closely. Even if Duncan did not push to the center position, Phil had already arranged a strategy to defend Duncan before the game. As long as he appeared on the court, let him face Duncan.

Duncan consumed too much in the first two rounds. Seeing that Li Tian stepped forward to defend and was still fighting hand to hand, he decisively chose to give up singles and top Ginobili in the arc.

Breaking through with the ball, passing Fisher, the layup was interfered by Gasol.

Li Tian grabbed the defensive rebound and Fisher advanced halfway.

Ran out of space, received a pass from Gasol, and made a three-pointer.

"bump!"

The sound of iron striking came, Li Tian missed a three-pointer, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

The second offense scored.

The Spurs, whose defense was messed up for two rounds, adjusted their defense.

Popovich arranged for Bowen to guard Li Tian and Ginobili to guard Kobe.

Bryant observed the changes in the Spurs' defense and continued to kill the basket to cause damage. Both Duncan and Ginobili received a foul.

Popovich called a timeout, and he needs to rearrange. If this continues, the Spurs will fall under Kobe's breakthrough.
