Chapter 15: Wiggins slamming the thermos in anger
The timeout ends, and the Timberwolves have the ball.
Rose took the ball across half court and decisively stuffed it to Wiggins, who asked for the ball from the outside.
As soon as Wiggins touched the ball, before he could start attacking, there were bursts of shrill boos from the audience!
Wiggins' face was depressed, and when he saw the fans who were booing him all over the stadium, he asked his inner soul: What's wrong? Where am I? What am I doing? Who did I recruit and provoke whom!!
Li Yang is now a rising star for Clippers fans, and applause is a treatment that only Li Yang can have.
"Whoosh!"
In the midst of the boos, to everyone's surprise, as soon as Wiggins got the ball, after some testing, in the face of Harris's defense, he didn't hesitate at all, and decisively chose to pull out the jump shot on the spot!
"Huh!"
The basketball went through the hoop steadily!
Two point hit!
It's as easy as training on a regular basis.

In the Staples Center arena, the boos are finally starting to get smaller!
"After the timeout, Wiggins took the lead as soon as he came, and he was the most familiar way to score!"
"It's something he does every game, his shots, he's still very accurate!"
"I always want to believe that Wiggins can still live up to his original talent after losing the thermos cup!"
It's just that when the commentators didn't finish speaking.
The Clippers' offense and defense transition, fast coming!
The team's point guard, Doggo Beverley, quickly passed the half, and then hit the ground and passed to Li Yang, who had a chance to run back.
"Bang!"
As soon as the basketball started, Li Yang quickly raised his head to aim at the basket and made a shooting action!
And at this moment, a giant palm appeared out of thin air and stopped in front of Li Yang!
Eyes closer, palm master, wearing basket-colored No. 22 jersey!
"It's Wiggins!"
When the commentators saw this, their eyelids jumped instantly.
"I didn't expect that Wiggins would have a close defense of Li Yang from now on!"
"Li Yang's off-ball run seemed to shake off Wiggins, but Wiggins still got the block with aggressive defense and quick foot movement!"
"Averaging 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, that's enough to prove that Wiggins still has a lot of potential on the defensive end!"
Seeing that the Mamba showed such a positive defensive attitude after the timeout, the commentators couldn't help but be surprised.
It can be said that Wiggins's performance is all about sending a signal!
In this game, he was about to throw away the thermos cup and began to sweat!!
And Li Yang, who has just stepped on the stage of the NBA, ushered in the challenge of cultivating the strongest form of Mamba!
Therefore, they are also looking forward to Li Yang's response!
Sure enough.
"Huh!" Bang!
In the expectations of the commentators, Li Yang didn't think about it after getting the basketball, after quickly crossing the dribble, he suddenly took a step back, aimed at the basket, decisively raised his hand to jump, ignored Wiggins' defense, and threw a difficult backward jumper!
"Wow!! What a fluttering shooting action! β
Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, instantly dilated his pupils and exclaimed!
Step-back step with back-up three-point ......
Li Yang's shooting options are simply extremely tough and unbelievable!!
"Huh!"
It's just that when Li Yang hit this three-point retreat.
The two commentators shut up in an instant!

"This is the most answe I've seen in pre-season this year
allγ Barkley swallowed.
Not to be outdone, Wiggins hit a catcher after catching the ball.
Looking back, Li Yang once again used the cover to shake off Wiggins' defense and hit a mid-range jumper!
Such an outrageous answe
All, can you believe it, it's just a rookie?
Absolutely dare not !!
When Li Yang hit a mid-range jumper in front of Wiggins, Wiggins' face flashed with a hint of chagrin.
Obviously, this is not the result he wants, and he has to give full marks to Li Yang's running skills and ability to get rid of it.
Looking back, Wiggins continued to single Harris, and after a crotch, he pushed off the defender and hit the board again from mid-distance!

Regardless of whose defense it is, Wiggins can rely on his excellent athleticism to get away from opponents.
It's just that, looking back, when he defended Li Yang, he couldn't help but be surprised by Li Yang.
Li Yang singled Wiggins with his back, his body twisted, his left foot poked out, stood as an axis, turned around and threw a jump shot!
"Huh!"
Roll over and shoot backwards and hit again!
18οΌ10γ
Not only was he surprised by Li Yang's hit, but what shocked Wiggins the most was Li Yang's unhesitating singles choice.
You must know that he has a certain advantage in height, but Li Yang is not afraid at all!
Wiggins and Li Yang are in the thick of a fierce battle, and the audience and commentators on the sidelines are constantly talking.
"We're witnessing the most exciting two-man battle since the start of this year's preseason!"
Barkley pouted, shook his head and said, "The way these two people fight each other makes me smell a hint of an NBA superstar!" β
As the commentators said, whether it is Wiggins or Li Yang's offense, it is completely a superstar style of play!
"There is no doubt that Wiggins is very powerful after dropping the thermos cup, but Yang is not bad at all, and it seems that Yang's talent is still underestimated by the outside world!"
The almost crazy scoring performance amazed the fans at the scene.
"The way the two of them play is completely at the level of NBA superstars!" Kenny? Smith said in admiration.
Although Li Yang and Wiggins only scored three goals each, they caused a huge shock to Smith.
"Won't this raise the bar with me?" Barkley teased with a laugh.
Li Yang's super style of play is needed by almost every team in the entire league except for the San Antonio Spurs.
A style of play like Li Yang is extremely popular in the league.
"They are all excellent! It's a pity that Wiggins was delayed for a few years in the Timberwolves, and he has a proud talent! Smith said.
Whether it is Wiggins or Li Yang, they are all beautiful jade!
However, Smith still feels that this is just the beginning, and this game has not yet reached the climax of the duel between the two!
The camera just returned to the game, after Wiggins hit a driving layup.
The Clippers immediately sounded the horn of counterattack, Li Yang counterattacked with the ball, and the three-point shot on the wing stopped urgently!
"Huh!"
The basketball arcs through the air in a wonderful arc and then through the basket!

Li Yang used three-pointers one by one to slowly expand the score!
Li Yang and Wiggins' scoring match Biao still continues.
As the game progressed, the physical confrontation between the two teams became more intense.
After all, the world's top players who play here are young people who are energetic and tireless, and it's easy to get pushy when they play.
It's just that the head coaches of both teams didn't treat Li Yang and Wiggins as if they had an agreement.
This feeling is like clearing a stage for the two to fight.
Moreover, Wiggins's strong basket again and again, and Li Yang's outside offense again and again, made the fans on the scene suddenly feel that the two were like a collision between two points and three points.
However, fans are also gradually discovering a different thing, Wiggins' offense, the main defender is Harris of the Clippers.
And every time Li Yang attacked, the main defender was Wiggins!
And Teague's defensive ability is completely different from Wiggins's defensive ability.
In other words, even if the two get the same score, when it comes to the difficulty of scoring, there is no doubt that Li Yang is higher!
In the final three minutes of the first quarter, both teams switched to bench lineups.
Timberwolves: Tryvo, Okogie, Jones, Rose, Dieng.
Clippers: Harrell, Scott, Alexander, Thornwell, Rodriguez.
The benches of both teams began to exert their strength, and Rose continued to break through the basket to make kills, while assisting Trevo to hit a three-pointer to quickly narrow the score.
The Clippers relied on Harrell's basket and scored two points on a layup to stabilize the situation.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 40:38, and the Clippers led by 2 points to end the first quarter.
My skills in the NBA are a bit too much
