Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Mike Brown's timeout not only took away Li Liang's prop time, but also made other Lakers players feel lost in the game.

The Lakers won the last game because Mike Brown had no chance of winning.

In this game, he made calculations and felt that the players needed to rest, but something happened.

After the timeout ended, Li Liang tried another three-pointer from the outside line. Without the props, his three-pointer was still very accurate.

Unfortunately, the ball spun around in the basket, fell out, and missed.

Li Liang sighed, if the ball was supported by props, it would definitely go in.

With a 1-point disadvantage, the Lakers lost their best chance to overtake.

Then the referee got angry and Durant made a big loop, which caused Li Liang's shooting foul and sent Durant to the free throw line.

Although Kobe then hit a two-pointer, he continued to cling to the score.

But the Thunder recovered, and Brooks replaced the veteran fisher Fisher.

At the critical moment, Fisher hit a three-pointer from the right corner, which gave the Lakers a fatal blow.

This is a counterattack from a veteran. Fisher has hit many key shots in the Lakers. This time he returned one to the Lakers.

Relying on Fisher's key three-pointer, the Thunder defeated the Lakers by 2 points 101:99 and tied the score at 2:2.

Bryant's final game-winning three-pointer missed.

The Lakers players couldn't hide their disappointment. Li Liang scored 19 points, 15 of which came in the fourth quarter.

He almost dominated the team's comeback, only to be stopped by a timeout from Mike Brown.

It seems that in this world, only Mike Brown can guard against Li Liang.

After returning to the locker room, the atmosphere in the locker room was very dignified.

Even the seasoned Lakers were frustrated because they almost won.

Mike Brown didn't even go back to the locker room and went straight to the postgame press conference without Bryant.

He dare not go back!

I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded to death by Li Liang.

Brown frowned at the press conference, preoccupied.

The reporters had a lot of questions, especially about the timeout, which made Brown a little embarrassed.

Of course, for Brown, facing reporters' questions is not a problem. Anyway, it is normal to lose, so why not answer questions after losing?

The question is how to go back and face the player, because theoretically speaking, he is absolutely responsible for this ball.

His inappropriate timeout made the team lose the momentum of chasing points.

They were only 1 point behind and only lost 2 points in the end.

If they hit a three-pointer at that time, the game would not be lost.

When answering a reporter's question, Mike Brown's remarks were "I hope to arrange tactics for the players and score this key goal."

But actually his thought was "Let Li Liang take a break, he hasn't rested for too long."

Throughout the second half, until the timeout, Li Liang did not rest for a minute.

The team fell behind in the first half and the situation was critical. In the third quarter, the team chased back points a little bit.

At that moment, how can Li Liang, a key player on both ends of the offense and defense, rest?

Even Kobe sat on the bench for a while in the last minute of the third quarter and two minutes before the start of the fourth quarter.

Li Liang didn't have a minute, so Mike Brown felt sorry for Li Liang.

He didn't know that Li Liang didn't need him to be distressed. During the timeout, Li Liang almost went crazy with anger.

As a result, when he returned to the court, the touch did not continue, and the entire team's offensive feeling was gone.

At the same time, Lei Ting regained his strength, because Lei Ting was beaten.

For two home games in a row, their ambitions were slow, but in the end they felt like they were "overwhelmed".

You will be fooled by this in exchange for you.

In the end, Mike Brown followed suit.

After the interview, Brown went directly to the team bus. He kept thinking about the explanation in his mind, thinking about how he should apologize to the players and Li Liang.

In the history of the NBA, it is not that no coach has made such a mistake. For example, he said that at a critical moment in the 1984 Finals, McHale missed a free throw, but Johnson called a timeout to give the Celtics a chance to defend because Pat- Riley forgot to tell Johnson that no timeout would be called if the free throw was missed.

And the coach of the Nets, Lawrence Frank, called a timeout on the last attack. As a result, Vince Carter had already thrown the ball, and a three-pointer was considered a lore.

This timeout caused Carter's lore to be invalid. Frank also apologized to Carter after the game. He should believe in Carter's key ball ability.

Mike Brown decided that he should admit his mistake, isn't it just an apology, good at it.

When we came to the parking lot, the players had already changed their clothes and waited in the car. The bus will go directly to the airport and fly back to Los Angeles.

Mike Brown took a deep breath and walked slowly onto the bus with the players on board.

Among them, Li Liang sat in the first row, looking at Mike Brown with a cold face.

Then Kobe, Nash, Gasol, Howard and others either had a calm face or looked out the window.

In short, the atmosphere in the bus is very dignified.

Seeing Li Liang's expression, Brown felt very embarrassed.

"Bruce..." Mike Brown licked his lips, trying to say something.

"Mike." Before Brown could speak, Li Liang spoke first, "We have decided to give you a punishment. We will take the bus to the airport, leave you here, and find a way to get there."

When Brown heard it, what was going on, leaving me as a coach in Oklahoma City?

What kind of system is this?

Mike Brown spread out his hands, with a look of astonishment on his face, he hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Brown's embarrassment, all the players suddenly burst out laughing, even the assistant coaches couldn't stop laughing.

Brown didn't understand what was going on, Kobe said: "Mike, this is your punishment, a joke. Let's go, go back to Los Angeles, and wait for them in Los Angeles."

Li Liang stood up and said: "Back to Los Angeles, we can definitely win against them! I think we have found the right way to compete, they are just lucky, they are just dying. If so, let's come to Oklahoma City again, I wouldn't mind staying at Hilton's Haunted House again, it's one of my fondest memories."

Only then did Mike Brown realize that everyone was playing tricks on him.

The players somehow regained their confidence. Although they lost this time, the Lakers players already understood that this year's Thunder is no longer their opponent.

They don't have James Harden, they have flaws in tactics and style of play, and they are still too young.

In short, the Lakers players have stabilized their confidence and emotions. They know that when they return to Los Angeles, they will definitely be able to beat the Thunder.

This is the biggest significance of the fourth game.

Confidence, belief, this is as important to a team as the lineup on paper.

Although many media experts are optimistic about the Lakers, but if the Lakers players themselves say that they can win the Thunder 100%, no one dares to say so.

Even for Kobe, last year he fell into the hands of the Thunder, and he fell miserably.

Now, after four games, the score is evenly divided, but the inner beliefs of both sides are no longer evenly divided.

"Then I don't have to stay?" Brown asked with a grin.

"No, but you have to stand, there is no seat for you."

...

Li Liang had calmed down a long time ago, and it was already late at night when he returned to Los Angeles.

At Los Angeles International Airport, young players take taxis, and economic teams like Kobe and Gasol send cars to pick them up.

As for Li Liang, Zhu Shu was waiting for him in the parking lot.

Since that night, this was the first time the two met, and Li Liang was still a little nervous.

He didn't know what to say or do after seeing Zhu Shu.

Would you like a little intimacy?

Could it be bad, or should we go home first?

Li Liang was very disturbed.

He saw his SUV in the garage, trotted over, opened the door, and found Wei Dazhi sitting in the back.

"Big, what are you doing here?"

"Huh? Pick you up? I want to interview you. I need to get first-hand information. You didn't tell me about the friend you mentioned, so I want to ask you in person, Twitter A lot of people are waiting on Instagram and forums. They don't believe that I am your friend, they..."

Li Liang sat on the co-pilot and closed his eyes. If he could close his ears, he would also like to close his ears.

Zhu Shu put her hand on Li Liang's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Take a break, tomorrow... There is a project that needs to be discussed tomorrow, I will go with you, at Santa Monica beach, how about it?" "

Li Liang opened his eyes and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

"Hey, what project, can you tell me? A new ad? What ad, a tractor? Or a sports car? Or something else... Li Liang, what are you talking about?"
