After losing to the Grizzlies, the Lakers suffered a two-game losing streak.

In this way, their record came to 32 wins and 10 losses. Needless to say, the Bulls' record in 1996 is never to be considered.

In fact, the Lakers no longer think about breaking records. Their top priority is to stay healthy.

The All-Star Game will start in mid-February. After the All-Star Game, the top teams in the league will all enter a sprint state.

At present, the Lakers have fallen behind the Oklahoma City Thunder in record and dropped to second place in the Western Conference.

The previous wave of four-game losing streak was indeed too hurt.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat are also chasing after them, only 1 to 2 games away from the Lakers.

Mike Brown's pressure is on again.

But the health of the team is not optimistic.

Howard's back injury has been repeated, Gasol's knee injury is also under observation.

Now I can only hope that Kobe must not be injured. Kobe's recent state is very bad.

His ankle, finger and elbow injuries never healed.

Nash, on the other hand, recovered from his injury in the last game against the Trail Blazers and has been doing well.

Mike - Brown even intends to slightly increase Nash's playing time.

As for Li Liang, he was alive and kicking like a monkey, nothing happened at all.

And he is playing more and more inside, and he is really playing himself as a 4 or 5 position.

Mike Brown even wondered what Li Liang was like when he first joined the Lakers.

How do you feel that the past few months have changed so much?

Take a look at his arms, shoulders, butt... Why are you looking at his ass anyway... They are much stronger anyway.

There are comparison pictures on the Internet. The makeup photos of Li Liang taken at the end of the draft are really quite different from the photos of Li Liang in the competition now.

The problem is that this kid is not particularly active in training, especially recently he is often late, and sometimes he won't come.

But the Los Angeles media never took photos of Li Liang going to nightclubs, dating girls, or having sex with female celebrities.

Brown asked Li Liang, and Li Liang said that he was sleeping at home.

Brown thought, this Australian koala only needs your sleep.

It is estimated that he has his own gym at home, and he is secretly training behind his back.

Otherwise, how could he eat so much in one meal and increase his strength so fast.

Therefore, Brown is not particularly worried about Li Liang, the only thing he is worried about is his socks.

God, his socks really stink, and they tend to stink.

Once in the locker room when he took off his shoes, everyone thought there was a dead rat in the locker, but it took him a long time to find the smell of his socks.

Brown is really worried that one day when he is playing on the court, if he accidentally cuts off his shoe or kicks it flying, will he be called a technical foul by the referee and be investigated by the security bureau by the way.

The reason is that it is possible to hide weapons of mass destruction, the kind that can't be washed clean by a bag of washing powder.

In addition, Li Liang is Mike Brown's most assured player, let him go, do what he likes.

After losing two games in a row, Li Liang was in a bad mood and followed the team back to Los Angeles.

On the 24th, after the team's training, Li Liang went to a studio in Hollywood to shoot his first Under Armor commercial.

The content of the advertisement is simple, first take a flat photo, and then do a few actions in front of the green screen, shooting, dribbling, and dunking.

After completing these according to the director's requirements, coupled with his game scenes when he was in the Lakers, a promotional advertisement was shot.

After the filming, Li Liang was slightly disappointed, why did he feel like such a grass-roots team?

From the beginning to the end, he was alone, and it was fine if there was no continuous plot, not even a heroine!

Boring, too boring to shoot.

Li Liang put forward his views to the shooting director of Under Armour's advertisement.

He thinks that some plots are needed, and he can shoot the second and third episodes in the future.

The director expressed his helplessness, saying that the budget was insufficient and that was the only way for the time being.

Li Liang sighed, it really is still a small company, let's talk about it when they grow bigger.

In fact, Under Armor also wanted to make a good commercial, but unfortunately, just signing Li Liang has far exceeded their budget, so there is no other way but to be simpler.

However, the effect of signing Li Liang was obvious. On the day the contract was signed, Under Armour's stock price increased significantly.

Since its listing in 2005, Under Armor's stock price has been rising, and the acquisition of Bruce Lee has injected a boost into their capital market.

After filming the commercial, Li Liang returned home. Before falling asleep at night, he took out his computer and watched the 1977 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Trail Blazers again.

It was difficult to find the video of this year's game. Wei Dazhi helped him get the video of the second and fourth games.

After repeated observations, Li Liang took a deep breath, lay down and fell asleep, and entered the system.

It has been more than a month since the last mission of the city of angels.

After getting the [Golden Shield Fragment], Li Liang never used it once.

Not only because it costs anger points every time it is used, but also because the 5% increase is not obvious, and Li Liang's defensive base is still not high enough.

Li Liang thought that after completing the second task, he would take another shield fragment, and the improvement would be even more obvious.

Opening the City of Angels book, the second item [The Broom Star of Portland Red Jellyfish] is still shining brightly.

Clicking into this mission, another golden light effect, sucking Li Liang into the book.

When he opened his eyes, he had come to the familiar Great Western Forum arena, but it was the Great Western Forum in 1977.

[Mission, the broom star of Portland Red Jellyfish, time: May 8, 1977, location: Great Western Forum Arena, Los Angeles, USA, mission requirements: replace Kermit Washington, and help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Portland Trail Blazers , reverse the momentum, avoid being swept, task reward: golden shield fragments, task difficulty: star]

Li Liang saw that the difficulty of this task had been raised to star level.

But it's normal to think about it. He is now a member of the All-Stars, so he shouldn't be doing a star-level task.

Li Liang looked at the jersey he was wearing. It turned out to be No. 24? !

Damn, Kermit Washington turned out to be No. 24, and Corvo actually inherited the mantle of the Lakers' "savage blow".

Washington's "famous history" for boxing Tomjanovich in the regular season against the Rockets in December 1977 was nothing but a dark stroke.

The blow nearly killed Tomjanovich, and he tasted brains in his mouth.

Later, because of this incident, the NBA began to vigorously rectify the violence on the court, pulling the NBA out of the quagmire of violence and drugs in the 1970s, and only then did the NBA become today.

So this incident is very representative, but it will happen almost half a year after this game.

In the 1977 playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers ranked first in the Western Conference. They reached the Western Conference Finals, and the team had the regular season MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The entire Lakers team has reached its best state since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was traded to the Lakers.

But the big regret is that that season, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's bodyguard Kermit Washington missed the playoffs due to injury.

The result was that the Lakers were blown away by Maurice Lucas at the power forward position.

The power forward who replaced Washington was Don Ford, a white forward, how could he be the opponent of the brutal "enforcer" Lucas.

After Lucas entered the finals, he fought Dawkins of the 76ers in the game, which led to two results:

1. When the Blazers fell behind 0:2, their morale was boosted by Lucas's bravery, and they won the championship in four consecutive rounds in one go.

2. Because of the violence, CBS TV station gave up broadcasting the final game of the finals, which caused an immeasurable loss in ratings and NBA influence.

After the Lakers were swept away, they saw another year of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's peak wasted. Originally, if they had Washington, they could compete with the Blazers, at least they would not be swept away.

In the 1978 season, because of Washington's fist, the two seasons of 78 and 79 had no achievements, until the Magician ushered in in 1980.

It can be said that 1977 was a turning point for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1970s.

They lost some, lost Washington, lost Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's peak MVP season, lost the chance to make the Finals.

They also got some, that is, at the beginning of the 1976-1977 season, the first-round pick traded from the Jazz-later turned into Magic Johnson.

In short, the Lakers could have achieved more in the late 1970s, before Magic came along.

The championships in 1978 and 1979 were finally divided by two slightly mediocre teams, the Washington Bullets (the one that was killed by the Knicks five times) and the Seattle Supersonics (the one with the most team).

Then the NBA ushered in the golden 80s.

What Li Liang has to do now is to help the Lakers win the game, not only to avoid a sweep, but also to help the Lakers regain the momentum of the series.

In fact, in terms of strength, the Lakers were No. 1 in the Western Conference that year, and their lineup was not inferior to the Blazers.

It's just that the position of the power forward was too strong. Lucas averaged 23 points per game, and he pierced the Lakers in one fell swoop.

In that era, the positions of center and power forward were very important. There was no three-point line, and those who got inside won the world.

Li Liang already knew all these histories thoroughly.

He slipped up his shorts and stood near the center circle, ready to start.
