Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 28 my country's Liu Ming debuts
When Ke Lan keenly sensed that the situation was slipping into the abyss, he quickly started to save the scene.

"Although the debut is worthy of congratulations, everyone calm down and think about it, can Liu Ming really explode?"

After asking the question, Ke Lan quickly winked at Director Yang.

Director Yang answered without hesitation: "After the Lakers' twin-tower tactics can no longer be used, they must strengthen their ability to score outside. And the Lakers' three-pointers have been a big problem since last season, and it has continued to this season."

"Pope has a period of time. Caruso and Kuzma occasionally make two shots. It is obviously a dream to use their long shots as a secret weapon."

"As for Schroeder, three-pointers are not reliable."

"Obviously, Vogel wants Liu Ming to stand up in this match."

"However, Liu Ming is also difficult. The Suns will definitely make some targeted defensive strategies against him in advance of the big explosion in the last game."

Ke Lan continued, "And whether Liu Ming's physical strength can support his explosion is also a big question!"

Director Yang nodded, "The confrontation in the NBA is actually very fierce, which is a huge drain on the physical strength of the players. The stars are often not able to play the whole game, not to mention that Liu Ming has already consumed too much energy and physical strength by running [-] meters a few days ago."

Ke Lan asked back: "We can all think of this, didn't Vogel think about it?"

Director Yang shook his head with a smile, "It's okay to persist with willpower for a short period of time. Physical problems may not appear until the third or fourth quarter."

"Vogel may be hoping that Liu Ming can knock down the morale of the Suns at the beginning of the game."

"Conversely, if the Suns hold on to the early stage, the Lakers may have nothing to do next and can only give up the game."

"Of course, the premise of all this is whether Liu Ming can be worthy of the trust of the Lakers, and whether he can continue his myth of three-pointers in the game."

……

The game is about to start.

This game is a respectable battle between the Lakers and the Suns at home.

Fans entered the auditorium early.

But when the starting lineups of the two sides were displayed on the big screen, the scene was suddenly in an uproar.

Lakers fans are extremely puzzled.

They didn't know why Vogel would send the Dongguo to start.

Although in the last game against the Warriors, Liu Ming performed superbly and turned the tide so that the Lakers reversed the game.

But in just one game, Liu Ming was entrusted with the important task of starting the main team.

Has Vogel backfired a bit!

It is clear.

For this slightly hasty decision, Vogel will eventually suffer criticism from Lakers fans.

Among them, naturally also includes the famous Lakers fans - Jack Nicholson.

As the most famous fan of the Lakers, he will not miss the Lakers' games in most of these years.

This man not only has high prestige among the fans, but also has great influence.

The Lakers also need a public figure like him on the scene, quietly putting pressure on the referees from the front row of the auditorium.

So the old man can be regarded as a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will injure the enemy a thousand, and if you use it self-defeating, you will injure yourself by eight hundred!
At this time, the old man's gaze was removed from the big screen, and quickly fell on Liu Ming who was wearing the No. 11 jersey.

He has followed the Lakers for many years and witnessed the rise and fall of the Lakers.

This season, due to James' advanced age, his thick eyebrows are often injured.

So the Lakers' ranking is not high.

But after the game between the Lakers and the Warriors, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

And this glimmer of hope was brought by this young man from the Eastern Kingdom.

The reason why the Lakers did not perform well this season, injuries and Lao Zhan's decline are of course two main reasons.

And the Lakers' poor three-point shooting is also an important factor.

As long as the Lakers can solve the problem of the three-point line, then their performance can still be expected.

Now, this Liu Ming.

Perhaps it will become an important player in changing the performance of the Lakers outside the three-point line.

Of course, these are not reasons for Vogel to reuse Liu Ming hastily.

Unless this Dongguo person can live up to the super god that everyone expects, Vogel should sit on the wax.

Warm-up is over.

Vogel smiled and said to Liu Ming: "Liu, I believe you can do it if you want to turn the pressure into a motivation to score."

Liu Ming nodded heavily. He knew in his heart that the coach used him and he was also burdened with many criticisms.

Team boss James also encouraged him, "Brother, you must stand up."

"Boss, you can trust me."

Liu Ming looked at this huge arena that could accommodate more than 2 spectators, and then thought of Xu Si who was running back and forth for him on the other side of the ocean, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Game start.

[Ding, the event mission is completed.Bonus Skill: Free Throw King! 】

[King of free throws: free throw percentage increased to 95%]

[Task [-]: Complete three perfect blocks! 】

The whistle blew, and the Lakers jumped the ball to win the first attack.

Sun defense.

After James dribbled the ball for halftime, he didn't have a chance to hit the inside.

On this side, Liu Ming came across a gap around the cover.

Find an opportunity to catch and release the ball at the top of the key.

Bang!

It's a pity that it's a three-pointer.

Looking back, Booker received an assist from Paul's wonderful pass and made a successful mid-range shot.

Second round.

Liu Ming once again took advantage of the speed at the start to win a short gap.

Three-point shot!

when!
Keep hitting the iron.

Liu Ming shook his head, maybe because of mental fatigue, or maybe because of the pressure of starting.

The start feels cold.

However, this is also normal.

Although the overall hit rate of the king of long-range shots is as high as 80%, poor competitive status will also increase the probability of triggering bad shots.

But the more bad the hand feels, the more resolute the shot must be.

If a shooter hesitates, then defeat is inevitable.

Looking back, the Suns organized the offense.

Brother Pao hit a three-pointer.

5 to 0, it seems that today's start is not smooth.

However, the situation on the court tended to deteriorate more and more.

The Suns' zone defense has caused great trouble for James to break into the paint.

And break the joint defense.

One is a three-pointer from the outside, and the other is to seize the opportunity to fight back.

The Lakers failed to organize a decent counterattack twice in a row.

Instead, the Suns seized the opportunity to defend and counterattack.

Booker then hit two three-pointers, and Paul also hit a two-pointer.

And Liu Ming's touch is still full of ice power!
Three strikes in a row.

The basket is about to be smashed.

But then James stepped forward and hit a three-pointer.

In just 3 minutes, the Lakers started in a bloodbath.

The score is 3:13!

The score difference is 10 points.

Vogel of the Lakers quickly requested a timeout.

In the Dongguo nba live broadcast room, there was a lot of curses on the barrage.

"Trash! Missed all three shots, so why is he still starting?"

"Liu Ming, come back quickly, don't be ashamed abroad!"

"After the appraisal, it's neither a donkey nor a horse. Liu Ming, you are a mule!"
