Chapter 218: Successful Debut

At this time, Li Liang had just finished talking on the phone with Brown, and he was in a taxi on his way to the arena.

Together with Li Liang is the team's trainer Di Francesco, who gave Li Liang a trial training in the summer.

He looked at his watch and said, "Should be able to catch up, I can catch up, let me check the score... Oh, we are still a little behind."

Di Francesco took out his mobile phone, opened the live broadcast page, and watched the live score of the Lakers and Raptors.

When Li Liang heard this, what, he fell behind? What the hell are these people fighting?

It was agreed that Howard was back, and after two days of rest, he came to Toronto and couldn't even beat the Raptors.

The Raptors' current record is outside the range of the Eastern Conference playoffs and belongs to the traditional underdogs.

Against such an opponent, the Lakers are still behind.

Li Liang asked: "Look at Kobe's statistics, how many shots did he make?"

Di Francesco looked at the data sheet, saw Kobe's data, and was a little embarrassed to speak.

Seeing that Di Francesco didn't speak, Li Liang knew that Corvo was abusing Toronto's basket again.

"Okay, don't look at it, Mr. driver, please drive quickly, I'm in a hurry to go to the race."

Li Liang reminded the taxi driver to hurry up.

The driver recognized Li Liang and said, "I'll hurry up. Although I'm a fan of the Raptors, I still hope you can come to the arena to compete, otherwise the media will report that the Torontonians are invincible."

With that said, the driver stepped up the accelerator and started speeding on the elevated road.

The traffic jam problem in the city of Toronto is still very serious, but it is mainly concentrated during rush hour.

It's past eight o'clock in the evening. After the rush hour, the road becomes smoother.

From the airport to the Air Canada Arena, it took the old driver more than 20 minutes to get there.

Li Liang experienced the speed and passion. After getting out of the car, he hurried towards the player tunnel of the arena.

After showing his work permit, Li Liang trotted all the way into the locker room.

Hurrying to the locker room, he changed into his jersey, and before he had time to warm up, he started running towards the court.

...

After the start of the third quarter, the entire Lakers team burst into tremendous energy!

Kobe first made two unreasonable three-pointers from the outside to overtake the score and stop the Toronto Raptors.

After the timeout ended, the defensive attention of the entire Lakers team was raised to a higher level. They strengthened the rotation and double-teaming of the outside line, moved quickly to make up for the position, and did not give the Raptors an easy shot from the outside.

Nash also consecutively assisted Gasol inside, and Gasol cut into the basket twice for a layup.

The Lakers played a 10:0 spurt, and the Raptors relied on ED-Davis's mid-range jumper to break the scoring drought.

At this time, the Lakers have regained the initiative on the court.

Kobe is gearing up for it. In fact, Kobe has a psychological advantage against the Raptors. In the first half, it was purely a problem with his hand, and his overall state was not tense enough.

Now that Li Liang was on his way, everyone became nervous.

The fans in Toronto saw that the Raptors played poorly and were turned over by the Lakers, and they all fell silent.

And those Chinese fans who want to watch Li Liang play are eager to watch. There is only such an opportunity a year, and it is not easy for some people from ordinary families to watch the game.

The game continued on the field, and the third quarter was drawing to a close. The Lakers led the Raptors by 8 points 81:73.

The Lakers players can finally breathe a sigh of relief, the official timeout, everyone looked up at the timer and the scoreboard, feeling that 8 points seems not very stable.

It was indeed unstable, so once the official timeout ended, Kobe did not rest.

He succeeded in stealing first and assisted Ci Shiping for a fast break layup, opening the point difference to 10 points.

Then the Lakers defended another attack from the Raptors. Kobe took the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt by himself.

12 points!

The point difference was stretched to 12 points!

In the end, both sides failed to attack, and the third quarter ended.

In the third quarter, the Lakers went from trailing by 3 points to overtaking by 12 points, completing a 15-point counterattack.

They played a high-intensity confrontation in this quarter, almost playoff-level defensive and offensive focus.

Kobe played the entire third quarter. In the third quarter, he made 5 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points.

Just in the gap between the third and fourth quarters, when the fans thought the game was meaningless, the big screen in the stadium suddenly displayed the picture in the player tunnel.

Immediately afterwards, cheers began sporadically from the stands, and then became continuous. Many sullen and bored fans stood up.

On the big screen, a player wearing a purple No. 28 jersey can be seen running towards the pitch.

He ran through the long tunnel and onto the field.

The entire Air Canada Center gradually boiled, and screams and cheers sounded inexplicably.

Even the Raptors fans who were not fans of the Lakers and Li Liang joined in the fun and shouted.

Can you believe that a visiting player, a rookie, coming to the game in the fourth quarter, can cause such a big response.

Li Liang didn't even think about it, why is there such a loud voice when he enters the stadium?

He feels worse, is it because the Lakers are behind by a big score, and the Raptors made two three-pointers.

What are these rubbish teammates doing? It's so hard to beat a Raptor.

Li Liang ran all the way to the Lakers' bench, and everyone stood there watching Li Liang arrive.

"Look and see, what to watch, how is the game going, are they falling behind again, otherwise why are the home fans so happy?"

Li Liang could still hear the cheers of the fans, wave after wave.

Mike Brown said: "No, no, you look at the score, look."

Li Liang looked up at the scoreboard above, only to realize that the Lakers are ahead, and the Raptors are 12 points ahead? !

Fuck, wrongly blamed teammates.

Why are the fans shouting so loudly?

At this time, Li Liang saw his image of looking up at the scoreboard appear on the big screen.

The TV station showed Li Liang the camera, and the audience cheered again.

Only then did Li Liang realize that the cheers of emotion were for me? I'm so popular?

Li Liang scratched his face, waved lightly towards the camera, and greeted the fans.

On the bench, Kobe rolled his eyes at Li Liang, waving your horse's hand, playing away, brother, you thought there was a concert.

Do you know for whom in the third quarter everyone worked so hard to overtake the lead by 12 points?

Li Liang didn't know anyway, he felt relieved when he saw the lead.

The teammates are still strong, leading by 12 points, can't they waste time if they work harder?

He just wore the medal and had a good time, and he didn't disappoint so many international student fans who came to see him play.

Thinking of this, Li Liang immediately said: "Mike, replace me! Let me play for a while."

Well, since you're here, let's play for a while.

Li Liang excitedly did a few warm-ups, and then went on stage to start the game.

Those fans who wanted to watch Li Liang's game finally didn't wait in vain. They jumped up happily, holding up Li Liang's head card and swaying from side to side.

There are not only Chinese fans, but also student fans from other Asian countries. After all, it is not easy to have yellow skin in the NBA.

However, after debuting, the Raptors chased by 6 points in a row in the fourth quarter!

Kyle Lowry scored two three-pointers in a row, and for the Lakers, Li Liang missed two three-pointers!

Li Liang was dumbfounded, damn it, you all play me? I was chased for points?

Please, brother, if you can't make the shot yourself, can you blame your teammates for playing you?

Li Liang traveled long distances, was physically fatigued, and had just appeared on stage, so he didn't feel anything at all.

The other players have played three quarters and are in full condition. How can he shoot accurately in this situation.

Li Liang immediately changed his style of play. First, a [Death Coiled] midfielder intercepted Kyle Lowry, and then he dribbled the ball to the basket and successfully dunked with one hand!

When the state is not good, use skills to relieve it.

This goal was very exciting, just this one steal and dunk, those fans who waited for most of the game were worth it.

This is the first time in Li Liang's career, a one-stop dunk after a steal.

When there is no one in front of him, Li Liang can still dribble and dunk.

Then, Li Liang and Jermaine O'Neal cooperated on the defensive end.

Activate the skill [Jeff Van Gundy's Death Trap]!

This is a defensive skill acquired after the Heat game.

Lv1 level, after activation, it can cooperate with teammates to form a simple defensive trap.

As soon as Li Liang started, he felt a tacit understanding with O'Neal.

He stepped out of the wing for ED Davis, put ED Davis to the basket.

After ED Davis broke through, he was blocked by O'Neal under the basket!

Li Liang just took the ball, and then passed the ball to Nash, and quickly ran to the right corner, a V-shaped attack.

Li Liang received a pass from Nash and made a three-pointer!

Li Liang finally found the feeling of the game and helped the Lakers to open the score to 11 points again!

Afterwards, Li Liang didn't get a good chance to score again, but the Lakers had already pocketed the victory.

At 112:103, the Lakers scored a victory in Toronto.

Li Liang had a unique NBA rush experience.

He only scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in the game, but he received the warmest cheers.

It feels like this is not an NBA game, but Li Liang's concert, where he played last and received the most applause.

When leaving the court, Li Liang waved goodbye to the fans who came to see him play.

Kobe poked him straight from behind, "Go away, dawdle."

Li Liangdao: "You, you don't know how to cherish your fans. Do you know how many bullets Komi blocks for you on the forum every day? And it's not ordinary bullets, it's atomic bombs!"

I don’t know if I can reply today, thank you for your rewards, although they are all 1 yuan. Three shifts will be resumed later.
