Chapter 145: Carry Away, Next (First Update)
Li Ming braked sharply, threw Holliday out a few steps away, and made a gesture to hold the ball with both hands, but the latter did not stand still and watch, but pounced directly.
Positivity is the number one element in defense.
Li Ming's action of holding the ball with both hands was abrupt, he withdrew his right hand, and dribbled with his left hand to the right to avoid Holliday, who pounced, and went to the inside line.
This castration is very fierce, and even as soon as he took a big step into the free throw line, Li Ming jumped up directly, and the ball was raised high, as if he was going to dunk directly, but he was fierce, and Cousins and Davis on the opposite side were even more fierce.
As an interior twin tower with more than 3 and nearly 4 blocks per game, it is impossible for these two people to watch Li Ming dunk no matter what.
Jumping together, a thick and powerful arm and a slender but longer arm stopped in front of Li Ming.
Double ghost knock on the door!
Li Ming's physical fitness is really not covered now, two fierce roadblocks are in the way, his arms that have been stretched out after gliding in the air for a while are actually retracted, the basketball is handed from his left hand to his right hand, and the dunk is replaced by a layup posture, narrowly avoiding those two arms.
It's time to put the basket in.
If this goal is scored, it will definitely be one of the top ten goals in history, and this goal is very similar to Jordan's shocking dunk and layup back then.
But a sudden change occurred, and an arm suddenly stretched out from the side of Li Mingtuo's right hand and hit the ball directly, slapping off the ball that might have become a classic.
Falling to the ground, looking at the arm, it was Cousins.
This guy is so desperate on the defensive end today, Li Ming gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: I was thinking of making trouble for you! I didn't expect you to do it first this time.
"Very good, whatever you say today, I will have to buckle one on your head!"
Walking back angrily, the audience at the scene seemed to have exploded, after all, this was a real cap, and it was covered after he completed the shocking change of hands in the air, which was even more meaningful.
"Haha, it's finally covered, it's too crazy, dare to dunk so blatantly in front of our Pelicans twin towers, really Davis and Cousins are fake?"
"Keep rising, so that Li Ming doesn't dare to break through again, that cap just now is really relieved!"
"Just hit it like that! I'll just say it! Davis and Cousins can't be fooled by this guy every time! ”
There were boos from the stands, Li Ming glanced in the direction where the boos were the loudest, his eyes showed inexplicable excitement, he really wanted to see what kind of expression would it be if their trump card inside line was blocked by him!
In the next few rounds, Li Ming took the ball and attacked inside, not affected by the attack at all, trying to cause damage, in fact, Cousins has a very bad control of fouls, in the last season he averaged 4.4 fouls per game, often inexplicably into foul trouble, and another is that he can't control his temper, and the number of fouls has been accumulating inappropriately.
He happened to be so active on the defensive end today, so I have to hit him this point.
Cousins scored three goals in a row, scored one, and caused a foul, which was not bad.
Cousins really got a little angry because Li Ming kept hitting him and treated him as a soft persimmon, and he was also made an offensive foul on the offensive end. Cousins, who didn't have a single foul in the first quarter, received two fouls in just two minutes, which shows that without the comfort of Rondo's presence, he can really do whatever he wants on the foul end.
Seeing the obvious effect, Hoiberg scratched his bald hand and finally left his hair, pointing at Cousins and making an offensive gesture.
The intent is obvious, all the players play Cousins this point.
Gentry finally panicked, how could the already backward situation afford such a toss? Quickly called a timeout and replaced Cousins, although life is about tossing, but Cousins is obviously not tossed, if he tosses, then the game will be GG.
So he sent Asik, and old fans of the Rockets should have heard of this guy, who used to be two pairs of monsters, but then Howard came to Houston, unwilling to play off the bench and was refrigerated by the team, and later traded to the Pelicans, and no longer had the original state.
So don't mess with the team if you're not a big player, there are still a lot of ways for the team to deal with a player who has just gained popularity, and even if you end up being replaced as you wish, you're bound to lose something.
However, Asik is clearly a bit stubborn, and based on his playing time, this guy is now less and less trusted by Gentry.
The average playing time is just over eight minutes per game. If Cousins' temper hadn't gotten out of control today, I'm afraid he would have waited until the last minute of Game 2 to play.
Seeing Assik playing, Hojberg had the same tactic, but he replaced Cousins with Asik.
Asik's fouls are better than Cousins' control, but he has a bad habit of stopping the ball under the basket from time to time, which causes the ball to be lost, and his mistakes are basically related to this habit.
So defending Asik constantly forming a sense of pressure on his hand with the ball, he can limit this guy well, after all, his offensive means are far inferior to Cousins, but he has a unique sense of smell in grabbing rebounds, and secondary offense is also one of his main ways to score.
And this guy is a good hand at positional warfare, but he suffered a little in terms of fast attack, and the fact that the aviation city had to speed up was also the reason for his poor performance later.
So Hoiberg shouted directly: "Speed up"
Originally, it was all a lineup of outside projection, and even Robin has not played so far, Li Ming controlled the ball and came to the front court either by himself or by letting his teammates throw, anyway, the ball was passed by other players only more than twice, and he was thrown when he received the ball.
The three-point results of an afternoon of training began to show, and the constant scoring made the Bulls players more and more confident in playing, and also made the Pelicans players a little embarrassed while they were exhausted.
The difference gradually widened to 10 points, and in the last thirteen seconds of the second quarter, Li Ming didn't look at the time at all, and went directly to the front court to shoot a three-point shot.
"Phew!" This time, the ball deflected off the basket.
Asik under the basket gasped for breath, and the constant running back and forth really killed him, but the rebound still had to be protected, and he was about to jump, and a figure came out of his side, dunking the ball that was about to fall into his hand directly into the basket, and shaking him out of the basket by the way.
"Wow!!" There was a sound of surprise at the scene.
Above the basket was Bull One, who was holding the basket with both hands, pulled the basket, and then landed on the ground.
"Carry away, next!"
