Chapter 62: Four Notes and Three Points
Li Ming got the ball, faced Holliday, slowly dribbled twice, adjusted the rhythm, there were Grant and Portis on the court pulling the outside line, Rondo didn't dare to wrap him up at all, which made him not have to rush to attack, looked up at the time, the first half was only about a minute left.
"Fourteen points behind, there are almost two chances in a minute, and chasing five points should be no problem!"
Li Ming thought about it for a while, and immediately called Karl to block and dismantle him, bypassing Kanin, the front was already empty, and he shot directly, and hit the three points again.
Third three-pointer!
"Obviously!" The audience was clearly already a fan of Li Ming, and such a debut gave them a hunch that the future of Chicago was bright again.
However, although the audience was enthusiastic this time, Li Ming did not respond, but immediately sank his body, staring at Holliday who was holding the ball like a leopard ready to attack.
"Hey, you haven't forgotten what you just said, have you!?" Li Ming suddenly whispered to Holliday, with a playful face.
"Huh?" Holliday raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You said that the referee's decision is everything, you haven't forgotten this sentence, right?!"
Li Ming posted it, Holliday's face changed, and then he grinned, and immediately turned around slightly, leaning against the former with his back, and secretly said in his heart: Damn! This kid actually pinched me!
glanced at the referee, such a small movement was naturally unnoticeable, and he understood what Li Ming meant!
"You guy, what a black hand?!"
"Hehe, the referee's decision is everything, and if the referee doesn't make a judgment, it means that I'm not wrong!" Li Ming replied with a smile.
"Good boy, then don't blame me!" Turning around, Holliday pressed against Li Ming's hand a little harder, wanting to give Li Ming a dark loss.
But I didn't wait for him to exert himself! He only felt the pressure on his palm, and when he looked back, Li Ming actually fell straight down, the problem was that the latter's expression was full of mockery when he looked at him.
"Not good!" Holliday suddenly thought of something, and wanted to withdraw the hand that was about to be forced.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the referee's whistle sounded: "Toot! β
Pelicans No. 11, offensive foul, Bulls possession.
βyesοΌβ In front of the bench, Hojberg saw all this in his eyes, his perspective was arguably the best in the game, he naturally saw everything that happened, and whispered in his mouth, "Smart guy!" β
Winning the ball again, Li Ming looked at Holliday with an unhappy face on the opposite side, and teased: "What's the matter, man, isn't the referee who just helped you once so good at helping you?!" β
"Dude, you're not far from it!"
"What do you say? Rookie?! Holiday sinked.
"I said you're still far away!" Li Ming snorted, the speed of dribbling under the crotch increased a lot, and the shaking amplitude of the body became larger, Holliday had to lower the center of gravity of his body, and his eyes were staring at Li Ming's feet, no matter who it was, at the moment of breakthrough, the feet would involuntarily exert force, this is an obvious action, no one can avoid it, so generally the defensive dribble changes to players with fast breakthrough speed or large amplitude, and experienced defenders are staring at their feet, not their shoulders or balls.
"Whew!"
But just when Holliday was staring at Li Ming with all his attention, Li Ming jumped up directly, made a three-point shot, he wanted to jump along, but his whole body froze there - in order to prevent being thrown away by Li Ming's breakthrough, he lowered his center of gravity too low, the center of gravity was too low, the bend of his knees was great, and the strength was stored in his feet, so he naturally couldn't jump.
"Huh!"
It is almost equivalent to being undefended, and he has mastered the rhythm in the continuous dribbling, such a shot, Li Ming is almost to the point where he can shoot with his eyes closed in training.
Naturally, the ball is in the frame again.
Another three-pointer, Li Ming, who missed a three-point shot in the first quarter, made four of six shots in the second quarter.
Standing outside the three-point line, Li Ming spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless smile on his face. The fans at the scene let out a frenzied shout because of his action.
It was June 4, 1992, the NBA Finals Bulls played against the Trail Blazers, Jordan hit six three-pointers in the second half, and then shrugged his shoulders, which became the most classic scene in the NBA.
It's so accurate, I just don't like to shoot three points, if I want to vote, it's so accurate, no way!
Twenty-five years later, Li Ming also made this classic move after hitting four three-pointers in a single quarter, evoking memories for Bulls fans.
"Obviously!" The fanatical shouts sounded every now and then, and the fans at the United Center had been ignited by Li Ming!
"Toot!" The buzzer sounded, and the first half was over.
Li Ming walked through the players' tunnel, facing the outstretched hands of the audience on both sides, and responded very enthusiastically one by one, it was originally just a short passage of four or five meters, Li Ming was stunned and walked for a few minutes, causing the other players of the Bulls team who followed behind to line up and move forward slowly.
Such a popular rookie is probably rare in history, and more importantly, this is the end of the first half of the first preseason game of the season, and it just took such a short time to win the hearts of a large number of fans.
Li Ming's performance is indeed a little too good, two violent dunks, and the style of the ball is gorgeous; Four three-pointers, in line with the current trend; And he also suppressed Holliday, a veteran who has been famous for a long time.
For a rookie, couldn't ask for more.
In the live broadcast room of a certain news, in response to Li Ming's performance in the first half, Wang Meng also took advantage of the gap between halftime to explain: "Holliday is a veteran who has been famous for a long time, he was on the All-Star East bench that year, and he is the most popular 3D player in the league at the moment, it can be said that he has seen the world and has experienced a hundred battles, before the opening, none of us thought that Li Ming could play so well under his defense, although we can't win or lose in one game, but at least in this first half, Li Ming's play is more 3D than a 3D player, He is a player with super 3D player attributes, can defend his opponents, can also shoot threes in front of opponents, we should be able to describe Li Ming's future in four words, as for how his performance will be in the second half, let's go ahead of the advertising γγγγγ β
γγγγγγ
is different from the comments of a news commentator Wang Meng, Brother Li of the Central Sports Channel is arrogant: "I said before the game, what Holliday is not Holliday, when I meet Li Ming, it will all be in vain!" Look, this defense, this three-pointer, and two buckles under the noses of Davis and Cousins, such a performance, the best rookie, is stable! β
γγγγγ
"Hahaha, Brother Li, this is the experience of being slapped in the face, and now he supports Li Ming unconditionally!"
"I guess what he thought in his heart was that fortunately he didn't blow Holliday before the game, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face again!"
"Hahaha!"
