Chapter Seventy-Two: Coming off the bench

With this mood of winning, when Li Du warmed up before the game, he played a complete set of Baguazhang, turned around, twisted his waist, and fully moved his steps and waist. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He found that Ginobili is not fast in disguise, but he reacts quickly and has a large range of movements, which requires strong waist strength and flexibility to do!

But compared to strength and flexibility, Li Du never believed that he would lose to others!

After a complete set of Baguazhang, Li Du didn't practice, walked to the sidelines alone, sat down quietly, and even closed his eyes slightly! This is Li Du's way of maintaining his state and spirit, silence! Never waste a bit of energy unless you have to, and always put yourself in peak condition!

Compared with the frolic in other games, today Li Du wants to seriously compete with the Spurs and Ginobili!

Seeing Li Du sitting in the rest area unusually, the Zen master called Kobe over and asked, "Kobe, what's wrong with this guy Li today?" He's very abnormal today! ”

Kobe Bryant often saw Li Du like this when he was in David Geffen Hospital, and he knew that this was a way for Li Du to maintain his own condition, but Li Du was not like this in previous games, and today he did this, Kobe Bryant immediately understood that Li Du wanted to play against someone from the Spurs wholeheartedly!

So Kobe Bryant said to the Zen master: "Phil, don't worry, this kid is like this, which means that he has finally moved his heart to win on the court!" He wants to play against a Spurs player! I'll ask who it is. ”

The Zen master held down Kobe Bryant and said, "No, you continue to practice, I'll ask him!" ”

The Zen master walked up to Li Du, sat down beside him, smiled and asked, "Li, what are you thinking?" ”

Li Du opened his eyes, nodded slightly at the Zen master, said hello, and then said succinctly and clearly: "I want to fight with Manu!" ”

The Zen master nodded secretly, Kobe really understands this kid! So he smiled and said: "But Manu plays the sixth man, he usually plays with the Spurs' substitutes, Lee, you are the starting player of our team." You don't have a lot of chances! ”

As he spoke, the Zen master stared at Li Du's eyes and asked, "Li, in order to match Manu for the whole game, are you willing to play as a substitute?" ”

Li Du also stared at the Zen master, nodded his head seriously and heavily, and didn't speak, just waiting for the Zen master to agree!

"Hmm......" The Zen master pondered for a while, looked at the players who were warming up and practicing on the field, waved his hand, and gathered everyone together.

"Today we changed the lineup!" The first sentence of the Zen master gave all the substitutes the spirit to adjust the lineup, that is, to adjust the starting lineup! Who doesn't want to get more minutes in a game? More playing time means more opportunities to show yourself, more fame, more income!

Next, the Zen master announced the starting lineup: "The rest of our starters today are the same as before, the guard line, Derek, Kobe, made up of you. Center ......"

Speaking of this, the Zen master paused, looked at the eager Bynum and the sluggish Kwame Brown, scolded secretly, and said, "Center, Andrew is here!" ”

Ignoring Bynum, who was dancing with excitement, the Zen master then announced, "Kwamei, you go play power forward, remember, your task today is to defend Tim!" ”

The Zen master sighed in his heart, if there was another better insider, he would not have to put the uncompetitive guy Kwame Brown on the field! Next, the Zen master said to Odom: "Ramall, you play the familiar small forward position today. ”

"Huh?" After listening to the Zen master's announcement, everyone looked at Li Du with some surprise, Odom couldn't hide his words in his heart, and asked directly: "Coach, won't Li start today?" ”

The Zen master smiled mysteriously: "Li has another important task today, you just need to do your own task!" Seeing that the Zen master didn't say anything, others didn't dare to ask more, only Kobe's eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly realized: "It turns out that the opponent in Li's mind is Manu!" ”

Walking in front of Li Du, Kobe Bryant patted Li Du lightly and whispered in Li Du's ear: "You kid, you can pick people!" It's rare to see you take it so seriously, don't lose to that Argentine! Watch out for his feints! ”

Li Du smiled silently at Kobe Bryant, and did not make a sound, he was determined to put all his energy on the opposite position with Ginobili!

The two sides played, and the Lakers' starting lineup was:

Point guard, Fisher.

Shooting guard, Kobe Bryant.

Small forward, Odom.

Power forward, Kwame Brown.

Center, Bynum.

The starting lineup of the Spurs has actually been unstable, because Mr. Popovich, as a master tactician, has set high tactical requirements for every player, so that almost every player on the Spurs has his own tactics! Therefore, Popovich can adjust the personnel on the field at any time according to the needs to achieve the purpose of adjusting tactics!

Today, the starting line-up for Spurs is:

Point guard, Tony Parker.

Shooting guard, Bruce Bowen.

Small forward, Michael Finley.

Power forward, Oberto.

Center, Tim Duncan.

This is the first time Li Du has played as a substitute player, sitting on the field, he can see the state and situation of each player on the field more clearly.

Spurs are really strong, and what they do best is take advantage of their opponents' flaws and use their advantage points to score. What's even more terrifying is that each of them seems to have their own tactical system, and the Spurs can attack around each player!

On the contrary, the Lakers' side can still only rely on Kobe to play, but today Kobe Bryant is not attacking well under Bowen's defense, especially Kobe's most lethal pull-up jump shot and back-to-back singles in the past are very restricted, Kobe rarely uses these two tricks when facing Bowen.

Li Du keenly saw that almost every time Kobe jumped, Bowen's feet would take a step forward, which seemed to be close defense, but the step he took forward was actually exactly the position of Kobe's feet when he landed! Once Kobe Bryant is a little careless, he will step on Bowen's foot and his ankle will be sprained!

"This guy ...... It's insidious! Li Du said to himself, he would not accuse Bowen fiercely like others, after all, if you want to talk about the fighting style is ruthless and vicious, almost every move in the national art style is vicious! Since he got used to the small actions in the game, Li Du will never get angry again because of such things!

After Kobe Bryant was suppressed, the strength of the two teams became more and more obvious. Five minutes, just five minutes after the opening, the Lakers were trailing by as many as 7 points!

After a long timeout, the Zen master gradually replaced Kobe Bryant and other starters, Popovich made an earlier substitution, and Duncan went off the break with half of the first quarter remaining.

Seeing Ginobili playing, the Zen master waved his hand at Li Du and replaced him.
