Chapter 640 Playoff General Mobilization

After the game, Malone and Stockton chatted with Li Shengli for a while.

Although it is now a competitive relationship, the two brothers are indeed thinking about Li Shengli. Even Sloan asked the two brothers to talk and asked Li Shengli to keep it for himself. Li Shengli was naturally very moved, but Ma Long was a little annoyed and wanted to Drag out the big Ben who disgusted him.

After seeing off Shuangsha, Li Shengli and his teammates returned to the hotel.

It is impossible to go back to Los Angeles overnight, because everyone has to rest, and the next game is still a day away, so I stayed in Salt Lake City overnight, and didn't rush to the airport until the next morning.

……

Training cannot be stopped.

Considering the actual situation, it is still possible to reduce some arrangements.

As for Li Shengli, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He took half a day off to sleep on the second day, and went to Harris for coffee after punching in training on the third morning, which made Daben feel that... the boss is the boss, and he is so chic even when he is lazy. There is a good reason , It is convincing.

……

"Li, the management had a meeting this morning."

"What, is there another notice?"

Li Shengli sat in the rest area of ​​Harris' office, rarely relaxing, and Harris cleared his throat...

"It's not a big deal. Our current record is leading the Western Conference. You should play more in the next game. I will arrange less time for you. You can't play like the day before yesterday. West is very dissatisfied. Opinions are great, too."

Playing the Jazz the day before yesterday was really tiring.

Li Shengli played for about 41 minutes, not only because of the impact of consecutive away games, but also because of the Jazz's center round battle, which made the consumption of these 41 minutes much greater than usual, and Harris said that West was very dissatisfied with this situation, not because of the loss. The game, but because of Harris' overemployment.

……

How important is the regular season?

It is important because the ranking will determine the tickets for the playoffs.

It's not important because the Lakers have already determined a position.

It is hard to say that there is one more home advantage in the top rankings, but the key is that the Lakers reached the top in eighth last season and lost one home game in each round.

Continue to fight, the Lakers can't be stronger, because they are already number one in the Western Conference.

Keep playing, ensure the health of the main force, and prepare for the playoffs is the right direction, and the Rockets this season have set a negative typical case for the entire league.

The Big Three, who were originally favored by fans, want to make some noise this season.

Not to mention No. [-] in the Western Conference, ranking outside the top three in the Western Conference would be a shame for the Big Three, but the Rockets were desperate... Olajuwon was injured, Drexler was injured, and Barkley was honored for a few weeks. With a bang of three old bones, the Rockets' record fell to eighth in the West like a roller coaster ride.

Therefore, the main injury will always be a problem for the team.

Although the Lakers' lineup is still relatively young, it does not mean that there is no need to be wary of injuries.

If Li Shengli, the first core, is injured, the Lakers must be finished. After all, the effect of Kobe leading the team has not reached the level of championship, and this is why West is very dissatisfied with Harris.

It's just that Harris also has his own ideas as the head coach.

Since the goal is set to be the championship, the process must be prepared around the goal.

No. 3 in the West, surpassing all threatening teams in the East, and gaining a stable home advantage. In fact... Although the Lakers are currently leading the West, they still beat the Bulls in the East by 5 games and the Celtics People have [-] victories, but if you relax a little, the opponent may rise.

A championship is the result of countless efforts and preparations.

Harris doesn't want to give up every and every championship bonus at all.

……

"The regular season of this season is about the same, and I will adjust it later." Harris felt helpless when he thought of the dissatisfaction of the leaders, and he was helpless after glancing at Li Shengli.

"Hey, they think I control your playing time too casually and don't give you enough rest time, but now... I really want to get a camera and take pictures of you being lazy like me. Let them see, let West see, his baby is drinking coffee at my place, not even training."

"Damn, can you be serious with gray hair?" Li Shengli glanced at Harris with disgust.

"I'm not serious? I'm not laying the groundwork for the championship." Harris shook his hand angrily, and then said slowly: "But it's almost the same now, if there is no accident... Take a little effort, we are still the top record It's time for the family to train and train, and the rotation needs to be tidied up."

"The preparations have begun."

……

After dawdling in Harris' office for a while, he came out.

Because there was still a game in the evening, Li Shengli participated in the afternoon training until the warm-up before the game. Today's opponent happened to be the Washington Bullets who let Daben go and felt a loss.

Just as the name-changing madman, the history of the Washington Bullets... After the Chicago Packers, Chicago Zephyr, Baltimore Bullets, and Capital Bullets, they won a new name, the Washington Wizards.

Of course, changing the name does not change the record.

The Wizards will still be the top eight teams in the East, even worse than last season, and Harris also fulfilled the management's requirements for him in the game.

The starter is still the same.

Originally, Campbell was supposed to go to test the offensive environment first, but Harris went directly to Daben, and I don’t know if he wanted to disgust the opponent, while Chris Webber and Juwan Howard...

Seeing the former bag-carrying boy suddenly become the right-hand man of the big boss Li Shengli, who can fight against thieves and win the championship, the mood is too complicated.

……

As soon as the game started, the Wizards had difficulty parrying.

Sending dead center, online worship, Webber and Juwan Howard, as the Wizards' main attack, all avoided Li Shengli, but the problem is that Big Ben entangled Juwan Howard, and Weber's unilateral fire could not beat the Lakers' two lines.

In just two quarters, the Wizards crossed the line and lost by 20 points.

Harris likes this rhythm very much, and immediately arranges the staff for garbage time, but this time it is too thorough... No one looked at the water dispenser, and a group of people went up to be wizards.

Can't beat your main force?

We can't beat you substitutes?

The Wizards' main lineup took a beating, and recovered 10 points in the third quarter. If they can't even beat the Lakers' pure bench lineup, it is really unreasonable, and Harris...

Continued substitutions, once the starting lineup was up, the half-quarter expanded by another 6 points,

Continued substitutions, the full bench lineup went up to be beaten, and in the last half quarter they saved 6 points and won the game.

This time Li Shengli only played 30 minutes, and Kobe only had two quarters, but the rotation time has been increased by an epic level. Rorty, instantly had a bottom line in his mind.

Others have nothing, can be used as a big book for the rotation leader...

The 6 points and 18 rebounds after the game are really wild enough, even more eye-catching than the boss and second child of the Wizards, and look at... the teammates who used to watch the drinking fountain together, and they were rescued from the quagmire by Li Shengli; On his own main force, he was stronger than them, this feeling made Big Ben climax.

As for Li Shengli...

I feel that this should be the norm in the late regular season. The good thing is that the rotation lineup is really training and preparing for the decisive battle, and this time the playoffs are really not far away, so it is time to prepare well.
