Turner is a very smart and very calm defender, and he is not presumptuous about Li Ming's pre-game remarks, and the strategy of supplementing the defense is to stick it on and stick it as soon as he can, and he is not reluctant to settle in time.

This is also the reason why he rarely gets into foul trouble, but not reluctant does not mean that he does not observe, on the contrary, he is very concerned about Li Ming's movements, as long as he senses the opportunity to play, he will never hesitate.

For example, now, Li Ming's small jump is completely focused on getting rid of Stephenson's defense, and the next move on the ground has no other choice but to take off and shoot.

It is tantamount to blocking his back road, and such a basket step is not a rare choice for Li Ming, which also makes Turner realize that the most important result is Li Ming's violation of the rules at this moment.

So the moment Li Ming's jumping foot landed, he jumped up directly, not the kind of jump that pounced, that would only be fouled, he jumped straight up.

The purpose is very simple and clear, that is, to interfere with Li Ming's vision of shooting, so that he can't shoot the ball.

The NBA player's strongest ability to stay in the air is Michael Jordan, 0.98 seconds is a time that even Vince Carter can't reach, even if Li Ming's physical fitness explodes again, he will definitely not be able to surpass this time.

With a height of 2.11 meters and an arm span, Turner believes he can maintain his shooting vision that has been in the way of Li Ming for all the time he has been jumping and falling.

Even under Stephenson's interference, even Li Ming's shooting space can be compressed.

If you can't shoot, you can only pass the ball, but at this angle, Turner in front and Stephenson in the back, even if he has good vision, the possibility of passing errors is very high.

What's more, there is Oladipo who doesn't know where to wait!

So the current situation is that you can't pass or shoot, and in Turner's opinion, Li Ming's handling of this ball will be a little embarrassing.

And the reason for all this is because of his timely defense by Turner.

"Hmph, you want to detain me? Think beautifully! The corners of his mouth unconsciously sneered, and he had to admire his decisiveness.

But in the next second, he looked at Li Ming, but suddenly found that the same sneer also appeared on the latter's face.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was an animal that had fallen into a trap.

"Suddenly!" Li Ming's hand was obvious, but the ball was so arcing that it grazed Turner's fingertips and landed behind him.

Behind him was the basket: "Impossible, he even chose to shoot?" Can this be thrown? ”

There was a "poof" sound, and the ball should have hit the basket.

"This guy is going to... Grab a rebound!? The moment Turner heard the sound, he reacted to Li Ming's intention to shoot, the moment his foot landed, he quickly turned around in the direction of the basket, looked up to find the basketball that knocked out of the basket, quickly locked the position of the basket, and immediately jumped up again, he wanted to protect the rebound.

The fighting spirit is burning.

But he forgot one thing, when he landed, Li Ming also landed, and more importantly, his position was to carry the basket, but Li Ming was framed, so he wanted one more turn for the frame, so Li Ming locked the position of the basketball one step ahead of him.

One thing he didn't know was that Li Ming now has the rebounding ability of Jerry Sloan, who averaged 9.8 rebounds per game at his peak.

Accurate prediction, jump one step ahead.

Just when Turner had a height advantage, but just as he was about to get his hands on the ball, the ball suddenly sped up its fall.

It was a yellow-skinned, but exceptionally strong arm pressing the ball, and the ball was falling not far behind his head, where was a basket.

A "bang" exploded next to his ears, and then he heard louder cheers from the United Center audience.

"Beautiful!"

"Wow!"

"Damn, how did he do it!"

And the voice of the DJ on the spot: "Li Ming dunked Turner, he jumped high, almost from between Turner's hands to press the ball into the basket, tonight, he made good on his promise, and now, the league only has twenty-six teams left to survive!" ”

"Li Ming's journey is continuing!"

Blankly landed, Turner's mind was full of Li Ming's sneer, he was careful until now, but in the end he still fell into Li Ming's trap, thinking that tonight, he would have trouble sleeping.

Li Ming successfully dunked, full of joy to his three-point shot, but shouted in his heart in the thrill, he also saw Turner in the restricted area before he temporarily got up, chose that small jump, on the surface he was to prevent Stephenson behind him from following up, but in fact, he was to attract Turner to defend.

And the dunk after hitting the board is also what he thought about in advance, he has this physical condition, and he also has the ability to grab rebounds from Jerry Sloan.

Theoretically, he could do whatever he wanted.

It's just that the process was more thrilling than he imagined, and Turner's reaction was a few points faster than he expected, just a little bit, and the rebound was in his hands, if his hands were a few points faster.

And if this opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to deceive Turner next time. Fortunately, in the end, the result was not bad, his plan was completed, and the task of blocking Turner was completed.

I can finally put all my mind on attacking.

Oladipo continued his strong momentum and did not show any change in mood due to Li Ming's successful dunk, or rather, he played more aggressively.

Facing Li Ming, he found a block and rushed directly to the basket, shook off Lopez with light steps, and scored the ball, the biggest change in Oladipo now compared to last season is that his finishing ability under the basket has been greatly improved.

Now he can shoot well, which is what the Magic wanted him to achieve when they selected him, but he has not been enlightened for four or five years, but he has unexpectedly cashed in all his talent with the Pacers.

Li Ming turned his head and shouted a block, opened the vacant position and was about to shoot, Stephenson's defense was very timely, but the moment Li Ming saw him pounce, he turned to a pass and passed to Grant, who threw the ball in the big open space.

The score was stretched to four points.

What ensued was a tug-of-war, with each side winning and the margin shifting back and forth between two and four points until the official timeout.

After the timeout, the managers of both teams replaced Li Ming and Oladipo in a very uniform manner.

In this game, the two sides used the core exceptionally consistently.
