"The Suns have changed, who has been replaced? The 208CM European interior selected in the second round of this year - Nikola Jokic? Mike Brin frowned and looked at the Suns' adjustment on the court, replacing Markieff in '89 and Jokic in '95, Hornacek Is this because the Suns' on-court lineup is not young enough?

The Suns kicked off, Li Mojie was still in a state of being trapped, and Gordon played with Jokic again, but this time Jokic did not choose to cut to the basket like Markieff, but disassembled to the left side of the free throw line, and then shot directly.

"Huh!" After receiving the ball, he shot again, and Jokic hit a solid shot.

"This white man has a great rhythm of inside catch-and-shoot shots, could it be that the Suns have another big man like Ryan Anderson from the second round?" Mike Brin couldn't help but sigh, and Van Gundy, who was sitting on the side, also said in praise at this time.

"I think it's very likely, otherwise Jokic would have been drafted in the second round, and the Suns would have let him play in the first game of the regular season, and his shooting would have been good!" "Wow, here we go again!" No sooner had Van Gundy finished speaking than Mike Brin shouted again.

This time the Thunder Adams missed the shot, and Li Mojie grabbed the rebound and threw it to Gordon before being caught in the half, and Gordon once again played with Jokic, and after blocking, Jokic immediately cut inside.

After receiving Gordon's pass in the three-second zone, Jokic first shook Ibaka away, and then made an easy close-range shot to score two points again.

The whole ball, Jokic didn't even jump, but the famous defensive titan was helpless against Jokic.

"Beautiful goal! This Jokic is too smart to play this ball, this second-round show actually has the ability to attack in the low post, my God, he only got to the second round? I think all the European scouts of the other 29 teams should be blamed and resigned! Van Gundy was also stunned, this Serbian rookie is facing the league's top three defensive power forward Ibaka!

Mike Brin shouted in admiration again, and on the sidelines, whether it was the fans on the scene, or Nash and others on the bench, they all cheered hard at this moment.

Jokic's performance obviously didn't stop there, as he and Gobert limited Westbrook's breakthrough on the inside in the following round, and on the offensive end, he used Lee's offensive containment to attract the Thunder's defensive attention, receiving a split from Middleton and assisting Middleton to hit a two-pointer.

At 40:29, the second quarter played for five and a half minutes, and the Suns gained an 11-point advantage under the brilliant swing of the wonder player Jokic, forcing the Thunder to call a timeout again.

"This Jokic really, my God, there are low-post feet who can force the inside, can pull out the mid-range shot, and can assist teammates to score, such an interior player will actually fall to the 41st pick in the second round?" Mike Brin said in surprise after watching the performance of the second Saving Kitchen.

"yes, I can't understand either, are the big men in the alliance already so unpopular?" Van Gundy, who loves traditional interior lines, looked at Jokic, who was almost omnipotent on the court, with a look of pity.

"Hell, where did this white insider come from?" Brooks also patted the tactics board angrily and asked the assistant coach next to him.

This question may only be answered by Li Mojie, back to the 2014 draft, 19-year-old center Jokic from Serbia decided to participate in the draft, Jokic was born in a sports family with good basketball genes, his two older brothers are professional basketball players, the youngest Jokic has also shown his excellent offensive and tactical ability, but unfortunately, there are too many European players with excellent offensive and tactical ability, and Jokic's advantages have not been carefully studied, On the contrary, the shortcomings have been grasped by the scouts.

Jokic is only 2.08 meters tall — not as dazzling as Porzingis' 2.16 meters — a height that is by no means outstanding on the inside, with a very irregular diet, carbonated drinks and fried foods that are almost inseparable from him, and his weight is a staggering 300 pounds (136 kilograms), which can be described as obese. Coupled with no muscles, no bounce, and average defense, Jokic didn't have too many teams to extend an olive branch to him after announcing his participation in the draft, and when Li Mojie recommended it to the Suns' uniform team, he thought for a long time what reason to use to introduce him.

"What, you don't think his ball quotient and passing ability are weaker than yours?" Luke Gaville, the Suns' chief scout at the time, opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Li Mojie's words.

So Luke Gaville consulted with the team's uniform team and contacted the white big fat man, selected him, and then used a full 4 months of exercise and diet to make Jokic lose 260 pounds, and finally let him adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game.

"Well done, Nikola! Next, the opposite side will definitely not let go of Nikola again, so Mo Jie, your performance time is up, and I believe that the undrafted opponent on the other side will not be able to stop you at all! Hornacek excitedly patted Jokic on the shoulder, then said to Li Mojie.

"I understand!" Li Mojie also smiled, the current idea of the Suns team is completely to match Li Mojie's technical characteristics, so now that his teammates can open up space, Li Mojie's performance opportunity will come.

The game started again, Westbrook still controlled a lot of the ball of the Thunder, this time he finally did not choose to go hard, but blocked and passed to Ibaka, Ibaka shook off Jokic with a one-handed dunk, which was regarded as returning the humiliation of being shaken away by Jokic last time.

Jokic was still slow to switch defenses, but he was still a rookie, so Hornacek just asked Jason, the assistant coach next to him, to write it down and didn't say anything on the sidelines.

Switching offense and defense, Eric Gordon dribbled past half court and handed it to Li Mojie, this time, standing in front of him, only Lanstomas was left, and Sergi Ibaka did not dare to let Jokic take half a step this time.

"Oh, is it finally just you?" Li Mojie smiled, leaking more than eight teeth, a smile that made Thomas shudder.

"Beat him up and let him know how powerful our Sons of Phoenix are!" Suns fans on the sidelines also cheered for Li Mojie.

"As you wish!" Li Mojie muttered.

So Lee Mojie left hand half-speed ball, Lanthomas blocked most of the offensive lanes, this Thomas is also an inspirational player, born in 88, he participated in the 2010 NBA draft, but was not drafted by the team, but joined the NBDL to play, after the summer of 2011, Lance Thomas participated in the New Orleans Hornets summer training camp, and successfully remained on the team after the start of the 2011-12 season, and the future is on July 5, 2016. The Knicks and Lance Thomas reached a contract extension. On July 9, the two parties officially signed a new four-year contract worth $27.3 million.

His shooting is not stellar, and he is a lanky, mobile forward who is neither tall nor strong; Able to break through and make fouls, rebounding is not good; Excellent pick-and-roll defense, unable to defend the low post.

Li Mojie turned slightly to the left, then dribbled the ball with his left hand, and when the ball returned to his left hand, he took a big step forward with his right foot, leaned forward and landed on his right foot, making a situation of accelerating to a space. "Do you want to force me?" Thomas looked at Li Mojie's appearance, and immediately took a deep breath to prepare for Li Mojie's collision.

But who knew that as soon as Li Mojie's right foot landed, he kicked back hard, pulled his center of gravity back, collected the ball to his waist and abdomen, and landed his left foot at the position of one step behind the left; When the left foot is in place, then the right foot is retracted and the knee is bent, the right hand is back on the ball, and it has become a shooting preparation action, the left foot is the main and the right foot is the auxiliary kick to jump, and the ball is lifted and shot according to the rhythm.

"Huh!" The ball obediently falls into the basket.

"Brother, you can't stop me!" Li Mojie smiled at Thomas, and Ibaka on the side sighed when he saw Thomas with a helpless expression, and patted the latter's shoulder to express comfort.
