Chapter 849 Mamba Out

After the game, Li Liang did not participate in the post-match interview and press conference, and was sent back to the hotel without taking a shower, and a room was opened for him to lie down and rest.

The stomach cramps were quite strong. As expected, Gatorade only suppressed the condition temporarily, and it seemed to get worse after the effects wore off.

Pain and discomfort are both signals from the body. Once this signal is blocked, people can persist for a short time, but in fact it will only cause greater damage to the body.

To be honest, if there is any disadvantage of this black technology system, it is that Li Liang eats too much all the year round, which makes his stomach not particularly good.

This time it was worse.

Zhu Shu rushed to the hotel room immediately after the game, and saw Li Liang lying on the extended bed, her face turned pale.

She hurriedly stepped forward, touched Li Liang's forehead, and asked, "Don't force yourself... Even if you don't play today, you won't necessarily lose the game, so what if you lose?"

Li Liang ignored it, but quietly asked Zhu Shu, "Go...go check my ball pants, are they dirty..."

At this time, Li Liang is most concerned about his ball pants.

He's not worried about his body or winning or losing the game, he's worried that he'll blow shit out of his ass, stain his pants, and be caught by a high-definition camera.

The fame of the first life is completely ruined.

Zhu Shu checked Li Liang's ball pants and found that they were in good condition and not dirty.

Li Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's fine, don't worry about me, I'm in good health, sleep and take some medicine, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

"You said it lightly."

"Don't worry, I said it will be fine if I can get better, others don't know, you still don't know how good my body is?"

"...you're still talking nonsense at this time!"

But what Li Liang said was true. After today's match, there will be two days of rest before the fourth match.

On May 6, Li Liang's stomach cramps disappeared, and he no longer had diarrhea, and he resumed his normal diet.

By May 7th, Li Liang was able to participate in team training normally.

And he participated in the third game with illness, and scored 31 points and 10 assists, which once again became part of his legendary experience.

At the end of the game, the shot of him being kicked off the court by Durant and Westbrook also became a classic.

After this battle, the Lakers have absolutely no hope of a comeback.

Being behind by 0:3 means that they are sentenced to death, and it is only a matter of time before they are out.

On May 8, the fourth battle between the two sides started at Staples.

This is likely to be the last battle of Kobe Bryant's career.

The ticket price for this game was fired up to a high price, and all the famous Lakers arrived at the game site to watch the game.

Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Worthy, Phil Jackson, and a large number of Hollywood stars and other sports stars were all present, and it felt like it was the last supper.

Everyone's mentality is very contradictory.

On the one hand, I hope the Lakers win, after all, it is at the Lakers' home court.

On the one hand, he hoped that the loss would be fine, otherwise he would have to go to Oklahoma City to play a game, and the farewell ceremony couldn't be so grand.

Generally speaking, I still hope to lose. After all, even if I win this game, going to Oklahoma City will be bad luck.

Li Liang has fully recovered at this time and is alive and kicking. He said before the game, "I will play seriously and try my best to send Kobe to the last leg."

So before the start of the game, the atmosphere was quite weird, making it difficult for the fans to tell who they should support.

But when the game started and the fight between the two sides became more intense, no one was thinking about these things.

Kobe's final game or not, it's a basketball game after all.

Kobe, as always, took this game seriously for 20 years.

During the game, he tried his best to defend Li Liang according to Scott's arrangement. He competed with Li Liang on the court, spammed each other, attacked the basket with the ball, made fouls, and loudly directed his teammates to move and defend.

Kobe wanted to win.

This has never changed in his career.

No matter what kind of opponent he faces, what kind of situation he faces, and what kind of result he will have, Kobe's belief in wanting to win has never wavered.

"Someone has to win, why not me?"

Kobe's words inspired many people to strive for victory.

His influence on the spirit of basketball and young people is immeasurable.

And Li Liang's ideas are the same as Kobe's, and he is also the one who implements the most thoroughly.

He has never lost a game he wants to win.

The two sides played very fiercely, and the two sides drew 54:54 in the first half.

Kobe played well, scored 21 points in the half, and tried his best to limit Li Liang on the defensive end.

However, Li Liang was still affected by food poisoning. He didn't drink Gatorade today, his hands were a little weak, and his shooting percentage was not high.

But in the second half, in the third quarter, Li Liang regained his feeling.

He first made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside to stop the Lakers.

Then he made consecutive steals on the defensive end, destroying the Lakers' offensive layout.

The Thunder used their quick counterattacks to set off a wave of offensive climax and established an advantage.

That's pretty much the script for this series.

In the first half, the Lakers and the Thunder played back and forth. In the second half, once Li Liang made his debut, the Big Three made an effort to establish an advantage and then establish the victory.

This situation shows that there is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams that is difficult to make up.

The Lakers lineup is very good, but the Thunder is too strong.

Kobe Bryant is still struggling to support the team, as he has done every game for the past 20 years.

To a certain extent, Kobe defined the standard of basketball players.

He's not perfect, he's made a lot of mistakes, he's got a lot of nasties, but as a basketball player, he's great, he's a benchmark.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe was still fighting with Li Liang.

Li Liang also tried his best. Tonight he played a little too much. He only made 2 of 8 three-pointers, which is very Kobe.

Westbrook, who played the best role in the Thunder, launched a fierce attack on the weakness of the Lakers point guard. He scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and scored 33 points in the game, helping the Thunder beat the Lakers by 112:100 and 12 points. .

Kobe stayed on the court until the end, even if the team had no hope of winning, he still stayed on the court to make the last attempt.

He shot the last three-pointer, and the sound of "Bang" hit the neck of the basket, which became the last full stop of his basketball career.

The game is over.

The Lakers were eliminated.

And Kobe's career ended.

There was a touch of sentimentality in the atmosphere at the scene, and the audience, including the Thunder players, stood up and applauded him.

Kobe had a towel draped over his shoulders, and his sweat kept flowing, whether it was mixed with tears or not.

He waved goodbye to the audience, took the microphone from the DJ, and delivered his final speech.

"Hey guys, I can't believe 20 years have gone by so fast, it's a crazy feeling and I'm standing in the middle of the arena today with you guys and my teammates behind me. I'm so thankful for all of this Everything, gratitude for the past we have been through together, gratitude for the victories and failures we have experienced, and I think the most important thing is that we have always been together.

I've always been a die-hard, I mean have always been a die-hard Lakers fan, I know every game I've played here, every single thing that's happened here. To be picked and come here to train, I've spent 20 years here and I can't think of anything better.

What makes me prouder is not about winning titles, but those tough years, because we didn’t run away, we were never ready to run away, we went through those tough times together, and then we did it right and won it again. All I can really do is thank you, thank you for your support over the years, thank you for your perseverance, thank you for your encouragement!

About my family, I want to say, my wife Vanessa, my daughter Natalie, Gianna. Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made to support me, my wife Vanessa took care of the family while I had to work and train, I can't think of another way to say thank you , So, I can only say something from the bottom of my heart, thank you! "

Kobe said, his voice was choked, his 20-year career turned into a single word, and finally he said: "And what can I say? Mamba out. (What else can I say, Mamba is out.)"
