Chapter Seventy-Four: Competing with each other, Yao Ming persuaded

"Again! And so it is again! Watching Ginobili once again seize the opportunity to pass the basketball out and lead his teammates to score easily, Li Du thought of the last time he defended Kidd, he was also like this, he could prevent the opponent from scoring, but he couldn't restrict them from driving his teammates!

The more he thought about it, the more irritable Li Du became, so he had an almost crazy thought: "In this case, I'll just go straight to break the ball!" Even if you can't break it, you can make the other party scramble! ”

Pressing the opponent and waiting for the opportunity to break the ball. www.biquge.info In the first regular season, when he faced Nash, he also relied on aggressive defense to prevent Nash from being in a slump throughout the game.

However, Ginobili is different from Nash, and the most fundamental thing is physical talent! According to his physical condition, in fact, Nash's condition is not good, and his arm span is also very short, so Li Du's long hands and feet can limit him, but Ginobili is different, his physical condition is actually very good, Li Du has not used aggressive defense before, and there are also considerations in this regard.

Another important reason is that Ginobili is very cunning, he will use the opponent's close defense every time to make a foul, and many times even take the initiative to post it when dribbling!

The technique of making fouls is already a mandatory skill for most NBA players to master, but even Kobe Bryant is making fouls when shooting. Ginobili is different, this guy will use every opportunity to create fouls, and when he dribbles, he will also take the initiative to meet defenders.

Although Li Du has been sticking to Ginobili before, he has never taken risks, all defensive actions are within the rules, and Ginobili has not found a chance to make Li Du foul. But this time, Li Du wants to give it a try!

When Ginobili received the ball again, he clearly felt that Li Du's defensive intensity against him had increased! Not only in the physical strength confrontation, Li Du also began to try to break his ball!

"It's because of you that I have a chance to attack!" Ginobili secretly sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he did not relax at all, and under the continuous large shaking, Li Du also had to retreat slightly to prevent Ginobili from breaking through.

Seeing Li Du retreating, Ginobili was about to start breaking through when he released the ball, Li Du was quick-eyed, and at the moment when Ginobili released the ball, he suddenly reached out and stabbed the basketball.

But just when Li Du's fingertips were about to touch the basketball, Ginobili's wrist shook and flipped over, and Li Du couldn't stop it and poked Ginobili's wrist! The sharp whistle of "Dididi" sounded, and Li Du fouled the thug! Fortunately, at this time, the Lakers' whole team has not committed four fouls and will not make free throws, otherwise Li Du will lose a lot!

Li Du stood beside Ginobili expressionlessly, waiting for the Spurs to send the frontcourt ball, and became vigilant in his heart, "Ginobili is really cunning, as long as there is a slight chance, he will try to make me foul!" Just now, he was going to lure me into breaking the ball! ”

With this lesson, Li Du was much more cautious in the next defense, but still interfered with Ginobili from time to time. This time, the quality of the defense has obviously improved a lot, and it is more difficult for Ginobili to organize the team's attack.

The two battled each other until there were seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, when both were substituted, which temporarily ended the confrontation. Ginobili failed to score a point against Lidu's defence and had three assists in the first half, but only two in the second. Li Du still maintains an efficient defense, even Ginobili can limit well!

However, while Ginobili was restricted by Li Du, he also made Li Du pay the price! When Li Du began to defend Ginobili aggressively in the second half, Ginobili also made Li Du saddled four fouls! If it weren't for the fact that time was running out at this time, Ginobili might even let Li Du make six fouls for the first time in his career!

After Li Du and Ginobili both left the game, the two sides sent their starting lineups to **********. It's a pity that after falling behind by 9 points, the Lakers failed to turn the tables in the face of the Spurs' efficient and stable play. With 3 minutes left in the game, the Zen master first replaced all the main players, and the game was declared to be in garbage time.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 113-104 at home.

After the game, the Lakers rushed to Houston, and after a day of rest, they had to take on the Rockets.

This game is the first time that the Lakers have played against the Rockets this season, and there are many highlights of this game, Li Du and Yao Ming, two Chinese who have established themselves in the NBA, are naturally one of them, originally, the most important point to watch should be the peak showdown between Kobe and Maddie!

After Kobe Bryant recovered from his knee injury this season, he burst out with the strongest offensive power in years, averaging 31.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game, occupying the top of the scoring list, and is also a strong contender for this season's regular season MVP!

It's a pity that Maddie has been out of action since the preseason this season due to a back injury, otherwise he and Kobe Bryant would definitely stage a wonderful offensive and defensive battle!

After Li Du arrived in Houston, he called Yao Ming. Yao Ming was very enthusiastic, drove to the hotel where the Lakers were staying, and took Li Du to his home.

In Yao Ming's house, Li Du enjoyed the most authentic Chinese food, and everyone chatted in Chinese, making Li Du, who has to speak English all day long, feel more cordial.

The habit of the Chinese is that whether they talk about things or chat, they are all at the dinner table. While eating, Li Du told Yao Ming about his recent troubles: "Brother Yao, I seem to have hit the rookie wall recently. My role in the game has dropped dramatically! I'm really worried that if this continues, the Lakers will give up on me sooner or later! ”

Yao Ming laughed and patted Li Du and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't make any progress in the future, the Lakers will not be able to give up on you!" With your current defensive and long-range shooting ability, you're already a much-needed piece of the championship puzzle for all teams. The Lakers can only trade you, they can't give up on you, and even if they trade you, it's not something that can be easily exchanged! ”

Saying that, Yao Ming gave Li Du some food and said, "I really hope that you can come to Team Rocket, and the two of us can fight side by side!" ”

"Thank you Brother Yao for your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't do without the Lakers in the past two or three years!" Li Du shook his head and said, "Brother Yao, do you know why I, a person who practices Chinese martial arts, came to play professional basketball?" ”

Yao Ming nodded slightly, and said, "I've heard of some, it seems that your senior brother is injured and needs a huge amount of treatment expenses, right?" ”

Li Du nodded, and laughed at himself again: "Actually, there are not many people who have reached my level in practicing national arts, but they are definitely not few!" Why is it only me who can get into the NBA? In addition to the fact that other people have human lives in their hands and can't disclose their identities, it is largely because Kobe Bryant has helped me a lot! ”
