292: Son of the Wind, come on!(1/5)
Whether Li Ang did it or not has become a hot topic recently.
But regardless of whether Li Ang did it or not, O'Neal definitely did it.
It wasn't Shaq who did it, it was O'Neal who did it, Jermaine O'Neal.
He was suspended for three games, which made Phoenix fans a little worried about the Christmas Day game.
The Christmas game between the Suns and Pistons can be said to be the most important of all Christmas games this year.
From the day the schedule was announced, everyone has been looking forward to it.
Who can resist the temptation to go home?
After looking forward to it for so long, if they lose, the Phoenix fans won't be able to bear the excitement.
If we lose to the Pistons, God knows what disgusting things that little old man Larry Brown can say.
No, before the game even started, Larry Brown had already started making noises.
When the Suns had a complete lineup, Larry Brown didn't even dare to fart.
Now it's better to tell everyone "We are the defending champion" and "We must have no problem" whenever we meet.
If you can't pull it off enough, you'll be the defending champion if you open your mouth and shut your mouth.
It was as if the championship last season had nothing to do with him.
Regarding the issue of the Christmas War, Li Ang also made a lot of responses.
He always emphasized that it was just an ordinary game.
I will treat it with a normal heart.
Li Ang's original intention was just not to want his teammates to panic too much.
As a result, Larry Brown thought that Leon was showing weakness.
What kind of normalcy? Isn't it just that I keep a low profile now, thinking that I will lose less face after losing?
My big piston will definitely make you lose your pants!
Don't tell me, the Pistons have performed really well in the last few games.
In the three games before the Christmas game, the Pistons defeated the Mavericks, Wizards and Spurs respectively.
Among them, the Mavericks and Spurs are both tough contenders in the Western Conference.
Moreover, in these two games, the Pistons also limited the scoring of the Mavericks and Spurs to less than 80.
This good state, coupled with O'Neal's injury, has made Larry Brown's confidence skyrocketing.
He has even thought about how to eliminate Li Ang after the game.
"As a player, it is good to be confident. But being overconfident is inappropriate. Indeed, he has won a championship, but he cannot attribute the team's victory to himself."
Brown decided, and he expressed his connotation to Li Ang after the game.
Be an onmyoji!
On the other side, after losing Ou, Li Ang led the team to play the last game before the Christmas game, against the SuperSonics.
Since the SuperSonics formed the double-gun lineup of Ray Allen and Lewis, they have become a veritable three-point team.
In today's game, although O'Neal Jr. was absent, the Suns' performance was actually not bad.
But he can't stand up to a team like the SuperSonics. Once he takes a shot, you really can't beat him.
Today, the Sonics have more than just Ray and Lewis shooting accurately.
But the whole team shoots really accurately.
It feels like anyone with good hands can shoot a three-pointer when he stands up.
Li Ang's biggest feeling at the time was that the Sonics were really rich!
A three-pointer costs 2,000 dollars, and you are betting as if it costs nothing.
Your family owns a banknote printing factory, right?
The SuperSonics scored three points, which angered Haslem on the bench.
"Brother Li, you're returning the favor! I'll give you the 2,000 yuan, brother!"
It’s so funny, 69 Li Ang can play, but 69 Li Ang is really not good at shooting three-pointers.
If you want to score a 69 three-pointer, you must meet the three conditions of wide open space, catching and shooting, and long-range three-pointers.
If one is missing, these three points will not be scored.
What's more, even if all the conditions are met, entry is not 100% possible.
Under the terrifying firepower of the Sonics, the Pistons lost to the Sonics 103-110 in the game before the Christmas Day game, experiencing two consecutive losses for the second time this season.
Larry Brown suddenly slapped his thigh at that time. Even a team like the SuperSonics can beat Leon, so doesn't it mean that you can beat a dog and win?
If you can't win, wouldn't you be worse than a dog?
In Brown's view, a team like the SuperSonics that relies on three-pointers to survive is fundamentally wrong.
Shooting three-pointers is sinful and unclean.
The SuperSonics can defeat Li Ang by relying on three-pointers in the wrong way.
Then why can’t I, Larry Brown, defeat Leon with the correct method?
My Larry Brown team is fundamentally correct!
Although he lost the game against the SuperSonics, Li Ang was not depressed.
After all, this game is not a clear loss.
To put it bluntly, it means losing because of the three-pointer and being unable to accurately target the opponent.
I can't explain what the problem is.
At least, the defeat in this game cannot be directly linked to the Pistons.
But the reporters didn't think so. At the post-game press conference, the reporters all acted like they were "Li Ang Pills."
"Lee, will you go crazy if you can't beat the Pistons in the next game?"
"Uh..." Li Ang looked at the reporter in front of him. To be honest, he was completely confused at the time.
The game hasn't even started yet. What do you mean by saying I'm going to lose?
It seems as if the Pistons can defeat the Suns with three-pointers.
It's not that the Pistons don't have the ability. The key is that they have the ability, and Larry Brown doesn't do it either.
Three-pointers, to him, are like a crime.
Li Ang originally thought that this reporter was deliberately looking for trouble, but later he discovered that most people felt that the Suns might not be able to win.
"Lee, why are you so confident? You should know how important Jermaine is to the team. Without him, do you really have a chance to defeat the Pistons?"
"Why not? Jermaine is gone, and I still have Steve by my side." Leon said, hugging Nash next to him.
Nash looked at Li Ang and smiled.
The reporters below were laughing too.
But there was a hint of ridicule in their smiles.
Do you still have Nash?
What is Nash good enough for?
Indeed, Nash's statistics this season are very good. He averaged 15.2 points and 8.8 assists per game. He is an excellent shooter and an excellent organizer.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But no one has ever thought that Nash is the kind of player who can break the deadlock.
From when he arrived in the NBA to now when he returns to Phoenix.
No one ever treated him as a true All-Star.
They all felt that Li Ang was joking.
But Li Ang didn't mean this. He always regarded Nash as an important partner.
The press conference ended amid the jeers of the reporters.
As soon as Li Ang and Nash left the press conference hall, Nash stopped Li Ang.
"plum!"
"What's wrong?"
"On the day of the Christmas war...I will work hard."
"Of course, I know. Get some rest, Steve. The 25th is destined to be a fierce battle for us."
After playing against the Sonics, Leon and the Suns team will have a day off on the 24th until the Christmas Day game against the Pistons begins on the night of the 25th.
On Christmas Eve, the 24th, although the festive atmosphere around him was very strong, Li Ang just wanted to stay at home and rest.
