Chapter 63: The Wounded Lone Wolf

In the second quarter, the two teams each changed to the bench to start a round of offense, and Morris Williams of the Trail Blazers who came off the bench frequently scored on the inside and scored 6 points in a row for the Trail Blazers, but the Suns immediately responded, PJ Tucker, Marcus Morris and the former Brazilian Lightning Barbosa hit the basket one after another to score in response, and the Suns once chased the score to five points. Then CJ McCollum suddenly exploded, he hit a three-pointer and hit the inside to make it 2+1, Matthews, and the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 51-40.

At this time, Li Mojie, who had rested for almost half a quarter, was replaced again, and he couldn't control his physical strength when he played an NBA game for the first time, and he was consumed a lot of physical strength by this high-intensity, high-confrontation, and fast-paced style of play in the first quarter, so Hornacek had to replace him.

As soon as Li Mojie came on the court, he played a block with Frye, Frye and Li Mojie both have shooting ability, so Li Mojie played the most blocks and dismantles with Frye during the training game, but the opposite side was very focused at this time, Li Mojie didn't feel the opportunity, so he passed the ball to Frye, and he ran to the low post to rely on the Trail Blazers' backup small forward Dorrell White, Frye took the ball in the high position, and successfully fished out the Mayers Leonard, who was selected by the Trail Blazers last year.

Then Fry took the ball and flicked it to the right, and one was inadvertently passed to Middleton, who didn't force a shot, but dribbled two or three steps to Major.

"This ball is reasonable!" The host of CCTV shouted.

I saw Li Mojie holding the ball and leaning on the substitute small forward who was only 91 kg and 201CM, and when his waist sank and his back squeezed, he understood how much weight this small forward had. And Dorrell White scolded in his heart in the face of Li Mojie, who had gained 220 pounds in 3 months: "Is this strength still a rookie?" ”

Li Mojie hit White with the back of the ball, squeezed it hard to the left, and quickly attracted White's attention.

"Fack!" Suddenly, Li Mojie deceived White's center of gravity with a back-to-left duffle, and then broke through from the baseline to the right and dunked the basket with one hand. 51:42

"Well done!"

"The new magician can do anything!" The audience on the field didn't care about the score, they just had to play a wonderful performance of the Chinese champion, and they cheered one after another.

"Okay, that's interesting, if you want to beat me, last year's rookie of the year, you have to come up with more things!" Lillard gritted his teeth and secretly decided that he would never let up in this game from beginning to end, and must beat Li Mojie in all aspects, so that the whole world knows that he was the best rookie last year!

The Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard got the ball, this is a man who never admits defeat, he picked up the ball and was about to shoot, Sessions was completely deceived by him, who knew that he suddenly passed to Thomas Robinson under the empty cut basket, Thomas faced the defense of Marcus Morris, staged a violent dunk! 53:42

"Good shot! Robinson! Trail Blazers teammates high-fived Robinson in celebration.

"This ball mine!" Marcus shouted with a gloomy face, this attack was completely thrown off by that Thomas, so he easily ran to the basket.

Li Mojie's face has always been very calm, but when he plays, he is a moody person, and when he plays, he is completely expressionless like Duncan, but some people will feel very stupid with a cold face, and some people will feel cool with a cold face, for example, back in Los Angeles, Jenna, who was watching the live broadcast, felt wet again when she saw Li Mojie with a cold face.

"Ah, I really shouldn't have gone to Phoenix, damn why the Lakers didn't pick Marc Marc this year!"

On the court, as soon as Li Mojie got the ball outside the three-point line, the Chinese fans in the audience immediately cheered, is this to fight back? Is that right? Defeat the other side fiercely and let them know how powerful we Chinese are.

"Come on! The light of the Chinese! Defeat the opposing enemy! In the background of the dark face of the Trail Blazers management, Li Mojie held the ball and forced White who was a grade smaller than his own strength, White was squeezed and retreated, and the Trail Blazers had to come up to wrap the bag, and this time Li Mojie did not play strongly, and passed to Sessions who didn't know when to slip into the inside, Sessions, naturally, would not be polite, and scored the ball with a layup. 53:44

Next, Lillard missed a three-point shot, the rebound was grabbed by Li Mojie, and then passed to Sessions, Sessions originally wanted to play a fast break, but the Trail Blazers' CJ McCollum and others chased the defense in time, and had to Sessions slipped around inside and ran out, stopped at the top of the arc, waited for the positions of his teammates behind, and looked for McCollum almost, but Middleton shouted in the face of Sessions, and Sessions passed the ball to Middleton when he saw this.

I saw Middleton not even look at Lillard in the face of it, jumping up at the three-point line is a dry pull, that CJ McCollum is also 1.91CM, and what about this Lillard? ALTHOUGH THE OFFICIAL HEIGHT IS ALSO 1.91CM, MIDDLETON SWEARS WITH HIS 2.01CM HEIGHT THAT HE IS IN THE OPPOSITE POSITION WITH BOTH OF THEM, AND HE FOUND THAT LILLARD IS REALLY NOT AS TALL AS CJ MCCOLLUM, SO WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF IN THE FACE OF AN OPPONENT WHO IS MORE THAN 10 CENTIMETERS SHORTER THAN HIMSELF?

Three points to make a decisive shot, "Huh." There was a crisp clay, and Middleton raised his right fist and shouted fiercely. 53:47

"At present, the newly traded quarterback has a good shooting percentage, and this game has played 3 of 4 three-pointers and 1 of 2 shots, and he doesn't possess the ball, and his defense is okay." Phoenix's local sports host Sanko exclaimed.

"Hmm." Coach Hornacek also nodded, he didn't expect anything from him, he just wanted Sessions to be the sixth man, but he didn't expect to find a good 3D player, from the last few training matches, he will have to be left behind when his contract expires next year!

Lillard passed the ball to CJ McCollum this time, and CJ McCollum used Thomas Robinson to make a cover and hit the inside, but this time Marcus was very focused and the defense was very timely, "Smack!" ”

"Owo! Big hat from Marcus Morris! Poor McCollum! ”

"You still want to get into the inside line with a small body like you?" Marcus was excited and yelled at McCollum.

The rebound was picked up by Frye, who passed to Sessions.

Off the pitch, Hornacek shouted, "Steady, steady." "It's the best chance to chase the points, and with that goal you're just four points away, Hornacek is nervously clenching his fists.

Sessions dribbled for 5 or 6 seconds and saw that there was no chance, and passed to Marc Jerry.

"You have been slammed twice, this time I will never let you!" Dorrell White gritted his teeth and struggled to resist Li Mojie's breakthrough with strength, and White really used his strength to eat milk this time. At this moment, Li Mojie suddenly retracted his center of gravity, took a step back with his right foot, and then shot an arrow on horseback, and the ball obediently drilled into the basket. 53:49

"Ness!"

"Well done!" Abby on the sidelines also took this wonderful shot, waving her little fists excitedly and shouting.

"Well done!" This kind of crucial goal is too morale-boosting, the Suns player on the bench said waving a towel.

"Oh, that's a bit of a step-back." Barkley of the TNT commentary desk also had to admire.

"yes, isn't it a shadow of Pierce!" Smith nodded.

"Beautiful step-back jumper." Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts on the sidelines also praised in his heart, this is really a matter of talent, this Li Mojie's physical talent is top-notch, and he has practiced his skills well in only 3 months, it seems that Dorrell is indeed not his opponent.

But this doesn't mean that the Suns can win, Terry Stotts immediately called a timeout and replaced Aldridge, Matthews, and Batum, who went down to rest.

In the last three minutes of the second quarter, Matthews hit a three-pointer to suppress the morale of the Suns who had just been raised, and then Middleton missed a three-point shot, and Batum broke through to make a layup to help the Trail Blazers maintain a big lead at 58:49. Later, Ramon Sessions and Li Mojie scored four consecutive points on outside shots, but Aldridge hit a three-pointer after the last attack, which once again reduced the morale of the Suns who entered the halftime.

61:53

At halftime, Frye, Bledsoe and others, who had been in the NBA for several seasons, were still relatively stable, talking and laughing.

Only Li Mojie was silent with a towel on his head: "Why? I clearly remember that the Suns played against the Trail Blazers from start to end in this game, why? Is it because he squeezed Dragic away that he is going to lose? ”

"Then what do I mean if I squeeze Dragic away? Inferior products eliminate high-quality products? ”

"No, I'm definitely not going to be like this, I'm going to win this fight! I can accept some means to squeeze others out, but this is a sport, a sport where the strong and the weak are distinct, and I will never allow myself to be a weakling! ”

"What's wrong with him?" Freshly arrived at the Suns, Sessions whispered to PJ Tucker.

"I don't know!" Of course, PJ Tucker didn't know that anyone would take this game so seriously, because no one in the rookie period would be demanding of the rookies' leading records, such as the 10-year champion and the 11-year champion have not led the team into the playoffs so far, as long as their data is good, and now at halftime, Li Mojie has a record of 14 points, 4 assists and 3 boards, which is logically acceptable.

'He's like a lone wolf with an injury, yes, and I saw the look on his face when he was down at half-time in the first game and I knew he was going to be a man in the future. I don't know how strong Kobe Bryant's desire to win was at the beginning, I didn't have been teammates with him, but there is no doubt that Jaccojack Lee has a strong desire to win. ”

This was the performance of Lee Mojie in the book "Playing in the NBA", which Middleton later wrote when he retired.
