Chapter 124: Battle Fever (Second Update)
Quasi-lore Cavaliers, free throws to beat the Thunder, an average of twenty plus ten per game, in the past so many games, Li Ming has conquered all the fans in Chicago with his strong personal strength, making them shout from the bottom of their hearts the highest symbol of the player's honor - MVP!
Most Valuable Player title!
Li Ming responded to the audience for a while, and then sat on the bench and began to adjust his jersey and shoes to warm up.
In this game against the Heat, their guard line should not be underestimated, and in addition to Dragic, there is Dionwest who has re-proven his worth in the Heat.
If this guy hadn't come to the Heat, he would have had two words on his player resume: Blacksmith!
This is a role player who went from the Cavaliers to the Thunder, and after five years of iron, he also took the opportunity to shoot, and he is known throughout the United States for his self-confidence in demanding the right to shoot at the main and even core level.
Of course, all of that has since disappeared after he joined the Heat last year.
After becoming the first player since Wade to score 30 points in two consecutive games, his first words in an interview were: "Now everyone has seen my performance."
It's not that I'm bad in the past, it's just that you don't use it well.
15.8 points is close to a career-best average per game, just 0.1 points short, but the three-point shooting percentage is a career-high 39.5 percent.
In other words, it can be seen from this that his career three-point shooting percentage is low, and it is not unreasonable to call him a blacksmith.
But players are like that, as long as they play highlight, then the wrong is also right, and the right is right!
Just like in the Finals of the Spurs vs. Heat, LeBron suffered leg cramps in the first game and was ridiculed by many fans, and then returned to Cleveland to lead the Cavaliers to successfully reverse the score of 1-3 in the Finals, winning the championship trophy that year 4-3, and their opponent was the 73-win Warriors with the highest regular season record in history.
Successfully washed away this stain.
Another example is that Durant threw in the enemy last year and joined the Warriors, but when he lifted the Finals MVP trophy, he still proved that even in the thigh team, he is still the thickest and strongest leg.
Data and performance are always the basis for NBA players to talk nonsense.
Although the Heat's record this year is not as good as that of the Bulls, it is not bad, ranking seventh in the East, and it was originally in this position with their configuration.
And that's what this kind of team was aiming for.
In the current league, without superstars, there is no right to speak, can't the Lakers in the post-Kobe era make the playoffs? Not necessarily, if you really want to fight, there are still some possibilities for seventh or eighth in the playoffs.
But it was because they were dissatisfied with the playoff-level powerhouse that the Lakers had a complete swing.
And the Heat's ambitions are not so big now, or it is natural and man-made disasters that make Pakleli's original plan become a bamboo basket and can only be replanned.
This is an old man with a blueprint in mind, and he will not limit himself to a championship or two years, he wants the Heat to be the favorite team in the Finals for several years in a row.
Come to think of it, if 2015 hadn't been for Bosh's sudden injury, with his influence and Wade's still peak form, it wouldn't be difficult to attract another superstar to join.
What a pity! Just like when Kong Ming trapped Sima Yi in the valley with a fire, he saw that the latter was about to be buried in the fire, but the sky was not beautiful, and a rain fell to extinguish the fire.
Oh people! I don't know what kind of temper God has!
The time for the game is fast approaching, and the Heat's starters are point guard Dragic, shooting guard West, small forward Richardson is a second-round pick in 2014, power forward is the draft pick of the same year, White plus big center Whiteside, it is clear that such a starter is in the same situation as they are now.
The strength is more than enough, and the upper limit is insufficient.
On the Bulls' side, according to Hojborg's arrangement in the afternoon, except for Li Ming, the other four are all former substitutes.
"Come on! Come on! Come on! Li ming! Come on! ”
The moment Li Ming walked on the stage, he was greeted by all kinds of cheers, and such a strong voice of support was really a little long time for him.
"Whew! It's still more comfortable at home! Li Ming naturally prefers to shout rather than boo.
"Toot!" The referee's whistle blew and the center circle served and Karl and Whiteside jumped the ball, the latter with excellent bounce and reflexes to get on the ball with ease.
Dialed the ball to Dragic's hands, the current Dragic and Phoenix's Dragic have changed a lot, although it is still a block-and-roll style of play, but he is more calm in handling the ball, averaging only 2.9 turnovers in 33 minutes per game.
Now, instead of defining him as little Nash, it is better to say that he has no ability to break through on his own, and the weakened version of Tony Parker is more appropriate.
Dribbling to the frontcourt, Whiteside immediately came up to make a block, Dragic took advantage of the situation and drove straight to the basket, in the face of Portis's blocking, he chose to pass the ball to West's hands, who faced Dunn's direct jump shot, not to mention his ball skills, he is definitely a superstar in terms of self-confidence.
With a "bang", the ball finally smashed on the basket and bounced out, Kanin was about to get up, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure that had jumped up, and his long arms directly took the ball into his arms, and then jumped up again, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Shh Hojberg on the sidelines pinched his palm, and sure enough! In today's game, rebounding is a big problem! The Bulls simply don't have an interior line that can protect rebounds at all, at least compared to Whiteside's ability to grab rebounds, it's still a few notches behind.
Li Ming got the ball, did not rush to shoot, and in the case of not having an advantage on the inside, he must ensure the success rate of scoring.
Kanin pulled to the high post, Li Ming bypassed Kanin to get rid of Dragic, originally this was a direct step back to the three-point line projection, but this time Whiteside followed, afraid of the latter's blocking ability, Li Ming did not shoot directly, but lowered the center of gravity and rushed directly to the inside.
Whiteside was not slow, he followed very quickly, his eyes were blazing, and it was obvious that the Cap King was preparing a hot pot dish for Li Ming.
"In the case that the inside line is not dominant, now there is a second way!" There was still one step away from the basket, and Whitesein behind him was getting closer and closer, but Li Ming did not panic, and raised his hand directly, as if he wanted to seize the time difference and shoot early.
Whiteside hurriedly followed, and his big hand ran towards the racket.
Seeing that his hand was about to touch the ball, the upward trend of the ball came to an abrupt halt, and it was replaced by Li Ming's shoulder, which was only a millimeter away from his hand.
"No matter how strong the inside line is, isn't it useless to let him foul and rest?!"
