Chapter 250 The Curse of the Tie Break

The Lakers won the championship at Boston Garden, the home of the Celtics.

It was 1985, and after the Veterans Day massacre, the Lakers fought back, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won the Finals MVP at the age of 38, and won the championship in Boston Garden Square.

Before that, the Lakers had never beaten the Celtics in the Finals, never.

At the same time, the Celtics have maintained the myth of unbeaten tiebreaker in the finals until 2010, when they were defeated by the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant.

When the myth is finally shattered, any historical record is for future generations to break.

Li Liang saw the third mission of [Book of Angel City] in the system, and knew that it must be related to the tiebreaker in the 1984 finals.

He decided to find a time to finish this task.

Prior to this, the Lakers' regular season games continued.

After the memorial service for Jerry Buss on the 21st, on the 22nd, the Lakers played against the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

Before this game, the NBA just reached the trade deadline. The Los Angeles Lakers, who are at the forefront of the league, stood still and did not make any trades to prevent breaking the team's current good chemistry.

While other teams seized the last opportunity to reinforce reinforcements one after another, small moves and small moves.

Among the two relatively large transactions, one is that the Sacramento Kings sent Francisco Garcia, Honey Carter, Thomas Robinson, and exchanged Cole Aldridge, Tony Douglas and Patrick Pat from the Rockets. Mori.

The main body of this deal is Thomas Robinson in exchange for Patterson.

Robinson, as the No. 5 pick in 12 years and a contender for the NCAA championship, ended up being traded in the middle of the season.

The Rockets have always lacked talent on the front line, so if you take a gamble with this deal, maybe Robinson can play it.

In another trade, the Milwaukee Bucks sent Doron Lamb, Harris, Uduri and some cash to the Orlando Magic for Gustavo Ayon, Ishmael Smith and JJ Redick .

Another person Li Liang is familiar with, his teammate in Kentucky, this year's No. 42 pick Doron Lamb.

His performance in the Bucks was not good. In the NCAA, he was the best sixth man and a member of the championship.

After half a season in the NBA, it may become difficult for him to play on the court.

The cruelty of the NBA can be seen from this.

After the trade deadline arrived, apart from signing free agents and canceling non-guaranteed contracts, the number of other members of each team was basically fixed.

The bad teams can start to feel at ease, while the teams hitting the playoffs can concentrate on making the final sprint.

After the Lakers experienced Bass' death, the entire team was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

And the best way to alleviate this sadness is to win, win, and win again.

So in this game against the Trail Blazers, the Lakers went all out from the beginning, especially Dwight Howard.

After the All-Star break, Howard's physical condition is a little better than before.

He can dunk hard at the basket, and he can send volleyball caps again.

The Lakers took an 8-point lead early in the first quarter.

At the same time, Kobe played extremely fiercely on the court because of the loss of his father-like old Bass.

He changed his previous pass-first style of play, and this game returned to the former black mamba state. In the second and third quarters, he kept shooting and breaking through to attack the Blazers' basket.

Li Liang knew that Kobe must be in a bad mood tonight, and he would not give up until he scored 40 points.

Therefore, Li Liang worked with Nash on the outside and kept playing for Kobe.

Kobe pursed his lips tightly from beginning to end, pouring firepower on the Blazers' basket.

Bad luck for the Blazers, we just happened to come to Los Angeles to play a game.

That's how the schedule is arranged, there's nothing we can do about it!

Kobe scored consecutive goals, and the Blazers couldn't even call two timeouts.

Outside Nash and Li Liang are eyeing up, if you dare to attack casually, they are not vegetarians for three-pointers.

At the end of the three quarters, Kobe had already scored 40 points!

The Lakers 95:76, leading the Blazers by 19 points.

The Blazers were really bad luck, and the fourth quarter directly turned into garbage time.

Kobe didn't appear again. If Jerry Buss was still there, he would be very excited to see his performance like this.

...

After playing the Trail Blazers, the Lakers next flew to Texas to play an away game in Dallas.

The deteriorating Lone Ranger did not cause too much trouble for the Lakers. The Lakers took away a victory in the away game with a 105:99 advantage of 6 points.

In this game, Nowitzki came back, and Li Liang faced the German super power forward for the first time.

Although he lost the game, Nowitzki made 11 of 19 shots and scored 30 points.

Li Liang once again met an "undefensible" person, he was too tall, Li Liang couldn't reach him at all.

His shooting is too accurate, and all kinds of interference are of little significance.

It's just that except for Nowitzki, the performance of others is really horrible.

Except for Nowitzki, no one scored in double figures in the starting lineup.

He made 2 of 10 shots and 3 of 10 shots. Relying on the veterans Brand and Vince Carter as substitutes to find some ground, they would not lose too badly.

After the game, Li Liang seized the opportunity to pat the old driver's head, thinking that he should be fine with so much hair.

After the game against the Mavericks, the Lakers headed to Denver, the plateau, for the final battle against the Nuggets this season.

It has been very difficult for the Lakers to play against the Nuggets this season, because the Nuggets have a very strong forward line, and they are more restrained in their style of play.

The Lakers were in mediocre form in this game, and they were playing away again, so they were beaten 9:0 by the Nuggets at the beginning.

In the first quarter, the Nuggets completely rushed, especially Ty Lawson, and Nash's defensive weakness was once again used.

The Nuggets led the Lakers by 6 in the first quarter, 7 points in the second quarter, and a 13-point halftime advantage.

In the second half, Li Liang took a shot and led the team to catch up.

As a result, Kobe hit three irons angrily, wasting the opportunity to tie the score.

Li Liang saw that when Kobe was in a low mood recently, he didn't vent his anger.

But after wasting this opportunity, the Nuggets counterattacked 8:0 and opened the gap again.

The Lakers never solved Ty Lawson's point, and he opened it up. He scored 22 points, 8 assists and 1 steal, leading the Nuggets to beat the Lakers 118:110 by 8 points, further consolidating their playoff status Tournament quota.

In these few games, Li Liang clearly felt that the non-playoff teams played loosely.

The playoff teams are very targeted. It is no longer an encounter like in the past.

The coaching staff will make careful pre-match preparations, summarizing the battle policies and strategies based on the games before the season.

For example, when the Nuggets played against the Lakers, Li Liang started to use wheel battles at this point.

Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, and Corey Brewer took turns.

This was only the case with Kobe in the past, and now Li Liang is also treated like this.

It's not how strong Li Liang's personal ability is, but everyone knows how important Li Liang is to the Lakers.

Therefore, no matter what lineup the Nuggets play, they always maintain a tall striker who can counterpoint and oppress Li Liang, and does not give him a chance to give full play.

It is conceivable that Li Liang will definitely encounter such treatment in the playoffs.

He needs to slowly get used to this intensity. The playoffs and the regular season are two completely different levels of confrontation.

But would Li Liang be afraid?

I'm afraid of you, what a big deal after the playoffs.

In my advanced mission, play a finals to overwhelm the crowd!

After returning from Los Angeles, the Lakers team got two days of rest.

Li Liang was ready, entered the system, opened the [City of Angels Book], the third task: the curse of the tiebreaker in Boston Garden.

[Task, Boston Garden tie-break curse, time: June 12, 1984, location: Boston Garden Arena, USA, against: Los Angeles Lakers VS Boston Celtics, mission requirement: Help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Celtics , won the tiebreaker and won the championship.
