Chapter 157: Oladipo
The two sides switched lineups, and the substitute lineup began to come on gradually. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the Lakers' side, Zhao Wei, Ingram, Clarkson, Lu Williams and Larry Nans appeared in turn.
The Thunder's roster changes were relatively smaller, with Semar Criston replacing Westbrook, N'Golo Kante replacing Adams, and Schindler replacing rookie Sabonis.
Sabonis showed great discomfort in the face of such a quick offensive and defensive transition from the Lakers on the court.
Only once did he make a three-pointer and didn't make a shot. All you can do on the field is to keep running back and forth.
The Thunder still have Robertson and Oladipo in the starting lineup.
After their lineup is adjusted, Oladipo's role on the field is equivalent to Westbrook's role on the field.
The game restarted with the Lakers trailing the Thunder by 10 points, and the game was three minutes away.
Oladipo had just held the ball at the top of the arc, and he was stunned. The Lakers actually sent a yellow-skinned rookie to defend themselves, and the opponent's size should be a forward player.
To be honest, in the NBA, for players, the least interested players are yellow-skinned players. Although there is a Yao Ming's success, and Jeremy Lin is also working hard in the NBA at this time, most of them are just short-lived, and they disappear without a trace when they show their faces in the NBA.
Even Yi Jianlian, who was ranked sixth in the draft that year, failed to gain a successful foothold in the NBA, so can such a forward player at the end of the draft be able to?
They're really hard to believe. Even though Zhao Wei had a pretty good performance in the first two games, especially in the victory over the Jazz, his popularity in the NBA has not changed much.
Thankfully, Oladipo recognized him as this year's rookie, but the coach's admonition to everyone at the time made it difficult for them to convince themselves to raise the yellow-skinned kid to the same height.
Oladipo was stunned, Oladipo easily controlled the ball, how to describe his ease, see that he even took the time to throw a wink at Luke Wharton on the Lakers' bench just now, probably to thank Luke Wharton for the gift.
Oladipo was relaxed and happy, and his body suddenly shook, and he made a dry pull-up jumper. Although he looked down on Zhao Wei, he was still a little jealous of Zhao Wei's 203cm height, so he shook it first and then chose to shoot.
However, is Zhao Wei really as he thinks?
The answer is definitely no.
As soon as Oladipo jumped, he saw a figure jumping faster than himself. A large black shadow struck him, and a large palm covered the basketball in his hand.
With this kind of shooting, most people will first cover the attacker's eyes and interfere with the opponent's shot, just like Sean Battler, the excellent defender of the year. And there are only two situations for Zhao Wei's defense to directly block the ball.
One is that he is very confident in his defensive ability and bounce.
The second is the kind of rookie who looks like a player.
Oladipo obviously didn't think Zhao Wei would be the first, but he couldn't get a chance to make a move at this time. Zhao Wei can be said to cover the sky with one hand.
Oladipo was helpless, tucked his stomach in the air, and passed the ball out.
Robertson received the ball and did not pause, throwing the ball inside with both hands from the back of his head. penetrated two members of the Lakers team and went directly to Kanter, who was on the inside.
Kante gets the ball in that position, so it will be difficult for the shorter Larinans.
N'Golo Kante easily put the ball in the basket.
The rest of the team runs forward at this point. However, Zhao Wei came to the bottom line and was ready to receive the ball.
Zhao Wei had already been explained by Luke Wharton before he went on the court, that is, the organization of the Lakers side would be handed over to him. Give yourself free rein to play.
Zhao Wei had to say that a sentence of free play seemed irresponsible, but in fact, it gave the player who heard this considerable confidence.
As soon as Zhao Wei controlled the ball, the Thunder team made some difficulties.
They were a little confused about Zhao Wei's position for a while, so they had a hard time about who came up to defend Zhao Wei.
Oladipo, it's too short.
Roberson got on, but there was a Clarkson in front of him.
Seeing that the players were a little hesitant, Billy Donovan shouted angrily in dissatisfaction.
However, the player he shouted at was Saimar Criston.
In fact, Billy Donovan also has his reasons for doing this. After all, he doesn't have many players on his hands now, especially in the guard position, and it will be a headache if they get into foul trouble when they face the Lakers bench.
Saimar Criston came up to defend Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei slowly dribbled the ball. He didn't use his height advantage to hit the other side.
Zhao Wei squinted at Oladipo on the side at this time, and a wicked smile rose at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Wei suddenly exerted his strength and broke through to the right.
Saimar Criston hurried to follow.
However, but, I saw Zhao Wei's body suddenly retracted, crossover! The amplitude was so large that a single movement shook Saimar Criston completely away.
In front of the big gap, Zhao Wei shot.
Semar Criston desperately slammed back, but Zhao Wei turned out to be a feint, and released the ball with the momentum, and finally Zhao Wei broke through from the right side in the shocked gaze of Semar Criston, and hit the free throw line.
Zhao Wei turned his head and shrugged his shoulders at Oladipo relaxedly.
Oladipo's eyes were grim, and he glared at Zhao Wei viciously, the meaning was very obvious, stinky boy, you wait for me.
"When you score a goal, you think you're the best in the world." Oladipo looked down at Zhao Wei mockingly, "I'll show you what real strength is." ”
"If you have as much strength as you say, I'm sure you'll let me see it." Zhao Wei smiled indifferently.
"You!" Oladipo's eyes widened, and his face darkened. "I'll show you what it takes to participate in the slam dunk contest."
"Hey!" Zhao Wei suddenly raised his voice, startling Oladipo, "Why do I say that you talk so much, if you don't fight, if you don't fight me, I'll attack." ”
At this time, fourteen seconds had passed in the offensive time, and even the teammates on the Thunder side were signaling Oladipo to hurry up and attack.
"Ten seconds, it's enough to hit you." Oladipo glanced at Zhao Wei contemptuously.
Zhao Wei plucked his ears in disgust.
Oladipo slammed the ball hard, venting the anger in his heart. The eyes were spewing flames, if the eyes could kill, Zhao Wei would have been burned to ashes at this time.
Oladipo suddenly accelerated to attack the inside, his speed was very fast, otherwise he would not have been called Wade Jr. by the outside world before the draft. You must know that Wade is famous for his lightning breakthrough, nicknamed "The Flash".
But Zhao Wei was also ready to go, and he followed with a whoosh. The speed is on par with Oladipo, and even faster than Oladipo.
You must know that the offensive players have the initiative in their hands, and the defenders are often one step slower than them.
However, neither of the two has taken advantage of the speed competition now, which is enough to show that Zhao Wei is slightly better in speed.
The narrator's mouth opened wide in shock. Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he was not mistaken, the small yellow man who was generally considered to be low athletic in the world could have such speed at such a height.
Oladipo's face was gloomy, as if he didn't shake off Zhao Wei and felt how ashamed he felt. So he had to smash the ball into the basket and humiliate the rampant rookie.
Oladipo suddenly took a jump, grabbed the ball with both hands, dodged the hand that Larinans wanted to pull the ball, and a jump just took advantage of the momentum to jump.
Zhao Wei's reaction was not slow, he used force under his feet, jumping almost at the same time as Oladipo, and Zhao Wei's height was higher, so at this time, Zhao Wei's arms were raised high, almost covering Oladipo.
At this moment, Zhao Wei, who was about to block Oladipo, suddenly found that the corners of Oladipo's mouth showed a contemptuous smile.
Immediately after, Zhao Wei was shocked. He noticed that Oladipo was relying on his body to suddenly increase a few points, and then there was a friction.
Oladipo actually used himself as a fulcrum in the air to exert force, and suddenly rotated along his body.
Zhao Wei was surprised, the corners of his mouth were a little serious, sure enough, the players who can enter this league have a few brushes, and they still have a lot of way to go if they want to become the first one who has no resistance, but they don't have so much time, it seems that they need to work harder.
Zhao Wei's body was also twisted in the air, and his right hand, which was originally sealed upward, moved back to cover Oladipo, but Oladipo was like kraft candy at this time, clinging to himself tightly, and his turn was ninety degrees and he hadn't stopped.
Swish!
Roar!
The entire arena erupted in enthusiastic cheers at this time, and the Thunder bench also stood up at this time, raising their hands excitedly, as if Oladipo had scored this goal. They are all waiting to celebrate.
Oladipo magically came to Zhao Wei's back, and he turned three hundred and sixty degrees in the air.
Zhao Wei also admired his waist and abdomen strength a little, he knew that at this time, his physical condition did not allow him to make such an action. Zhao Wei knows his advantages, he is better than the body, there are no shortcomings, and if you want to say which one is very outstanding and can override the entire league, he knows that he may not be able to do it. However, everything can be at the top, and he still asks himself.
Oladipo smiled proudly, the basket was close in front of him, and Zhao Wei's defense had already made him shake off.
With his arms raised, Oladipo was ready to dunk.
Suddenly, the stinky boy in front of him who was shaken by himself turned out to be like kraft candy, although he was not as skilled as himself, but he also suddenly borrowed force from himself, and his body suddenly rotated ninety degrees, although his movements were stiff, but he turned around. Zhao Wei's left arm pressed down sharply.
Oladipo no longer had the strength to dodge at this time, and both of them had reached their highest point at this time, and their bodies had begun to decline.
Syllable!
The ball in Oladipo's hand was held down by Zhao Wei.
Bang!
Oladipo was so embarrassed that he even fell to the ground with the ball.
Zhao Wei is okay at all, Oladipo's air dominance is better, but his strength cannot be compared with Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei landed on the ground with his feet and stood right above Zhao Wei. His eyes were indifferent and deep, and he looked at Oladipo lying on the ground with an expressionless face.
Oladipo's face was gloomy like water, and he glared at Zhao Wei through gritted teeth, but he was also shocked in his heart, at this time, he really pulled Zhao Wei to the same level as himself. Zhao Wei's future potential makes him look forward to it, but it is impossible to make him admit defeat, and no one in this league will never bow to you, unless you show truly convincing strength.
The Lakers' bench was crazy when they saw Zhao Wei's domineering hat. The towel became their best celebration tool at this time, and they danced the towel dance wildly.
Several people on the field also came to celebrate with Zhao Wei.
But at this time!
A whistle broke the joy.
Shout!
The referee did not hesitate to award Zhao Wei a thug foul.
Luke Wharton stopped and immediately stepped forward to reason with the referee. Zhao Wei also came over.
However, the referee finally gave an explanation, and in the process of blocking, Zhao Wei violated Oladipo's cylinder.
Only then did Zhao Wei think that he was the last to borrow from Oladipo.
It's just two penalties, Zhao Wei shrugged indifferently.
Luke Wharton is also not obsessed. In fact, a coach like Luke Wharton can't see that it is a foul, in fact, the reason he did it was just to put a little pressure on the referee, thinking that the players on the court would gain some advantage over the referee.
Oladipo made a free throw, and Zhao Wei stood aside waiting to grab a rebound.
"I still got the points." Oladipo glanced at Zhao Wei proudly.
"Then you'd better pray the rebounds aren't mine." Zhao Wei smiled lightly.
"With Kante and Schindler, you still want to get rebounds, don't be foolish." Oladipo sneered, but his smile suddenly froze, and he glared at Zhao Wei coldly, and became more vigilant in his heart, this stinky boy is really ruthless and cunning, and he actually has something to say and set himself up. He deliberately let himself say that he would not be punished.
"I'm going to get it." Oladipo said firmly, word by word.
"Then I'll see." Zhao Wei smiled and blessed.
Oladipo hurriedly looked away from Zhao Wei, stabilized his mood, and made a move.
The strength of the ball was small, but fortunately, it finally fell into the basket after a few bumbles on the basket.
"What a blessing!" Zhao Wei said enviously.
Poof!
At this time, Larinance and a few others who could hear Zhao Wei's words couldn't help laughing all of a sudden. Curious to see this yellow-skinned kid.
Others are spewing trash talk, but everyone is saying cruel words and ridicule, this guy is good, this is all a whole thing.
He looked at Oladipo strangely, touched his head inexplicably, and wondered why Oladipo was so easily angry.
Oladipo didn't say anything this time, but the fire in his eyes that was beating quickly spoke of his anger.
On the second shot, Oladipo's pace was noticeably faster, and it was also seen that he had increased the strength of his shot.
Bang!
The ball bounced off the back edge of the basket.
Larinance leapt to his feet and grabbed the basketball with one hand.
As soon as it landed, it was handed over to Zhao Wei.
At this point, there are still more than ten seconds left in the first quarter.
"Gone!" Zhao Wei received the ball and happened to be next to Oladipo, chuckling and saying hello.
The figure flashed away, and when Oladipo turned around, Zhao Wei had already rushed to the front.
"Back to the defense." Oladipo shouted.
Zhao Wei rushed to the frontcourt, and the Thunder's backcourt was not empty at this time, after all, when the free throws were made, Roberson and Marc Criston were still in the back.
Robertson confronts Zhao Wei.
The defensive titan is just a swing, and naturally different from the others.
Zhao Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't retreat.
I saw Zhao Wei outside the three-point line, a crotch behind him, and suddenly accelerated to hit the inside line.
Robertson's action reaction was very fast, the defense was very good, he slightly vacated the bottom line, and forced Zhao Wei to the bottom line.
Zhao Wei really went to the bottom line like a Chinese technique.
Robertson's defensive pressure is getting tighter and tighter, and it seems that the bottom line is vacated for Zhao Wei to break through the bottom line, but when Zhao Wei came in, he drove Zhao Wei to the bottom line.
Just when everyone thought that this attack was going to fail.
Zhao Wei's face was not panicked, the dribble suddenly jumped along Robertson's momentum, jumped to the inside, looked directly at the basket, and jumped immediately when he landed.
It seems that he intends to be strong.
Robertson jumped up to block it.
But as soon as Zhao Wei closed his hands, the ball came to his waist, turned behind his back, and passed the ball out behind his back.
A pair of palms just caught the passing ball. (To be continued.) )
