Chapter 116: Li Ming and Hoiberg
Westbrook was ready to come back, and wanted to do the same thing, and Adams made a pick-and-roll for him.
The blocking and dismantling of the two of them is a must in the league, and there are few partners on the inside and outside who can have such high-quality blocking and dismantling as they do.
This move was also a common move they used at the beginning, pulling to a high position, Westbrook shot directly.
"Phew!" The ball bounced out of the frame and was caught by Adams, and the second offense, interfered with by Mirotic, the ball bounced again, and this time Lopes protected the rebound.
In good conscience, Westbrook's three-point shooting is not outstanding, but he is strong in his ability to convuls, as long as the touch comes, he can shoot any ball, which is a bit of Irving's meaning.
But what makes Owen more perverted than Westbrook is that as long as he feels it, he can not only shoot any ball, but also score no matter what position he throws.
There is a special term called fairy ball, Owen specializes in throwing this kind of ball, and Yang Yi, a certain news commentator, shouts every day and explodes.
Li Ming held the ball and attacked, a tentative step to the left, and then the center of gravity quickly shifted to the right, and the ball changed sharply and rushed directly, a pick-up, and scored two more points.
After scoring five points in a row, the difference between the two teams quickly narrowed and returned to within 10 points.
Westbrook was clearly out of the ordinary, burying his head in the front court and rushing inside, putting his foot in the free throw line, and the ball was in his hand, feeling like a death squad player carrying an explosive bag.
"Phew!" With a heavy blow, the audience boiled.
Hojberg quickly stood up in the commotion and signaled Li Ming to continue the style of play just now, not to be driven by the atmosphere of the scene.
Li Ming naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with him, and Westbrook looked relieved at this button, so it could be said that he was playing too aggrieved now.
People need to vent.
Didn't you see him clenching his fists and walking backwards? Obviously, it didn't go well, and it was still a little unpleasant after the deduction.
Li Ming still played on his own, and now only if he continues to play on his own can he continue to stimulate Westbrook, he chose the safe way, reversing the ball back and forth a few times, and then then blocking a mid-range jumper to score.
With two more points, he's already scored three goals in a row, and he doesn't care how many points he takes, what kind of way he scores.
Now all he has to do is score.
Westbrook dribbled the ball again, and Li Ming hurriedly signaled to defend the 2-3 joint defense to limit Westbrook's breakthrough.
"Now it's up to him to break through!" The Bulls put on a 2-3 joint defense, and the average player will not choose to break through when he sees the opponent defending such a formation, but to consciously play with it, if Westbrook sees the 2-3 joint defense still rushing to the inside line and forcing a shot, it is obvious that his anger will come up, at this time, as long as he chooses the bag.
He will definitely be like a fish caught in the net, desperately struggling but not shouting for help, which is probably related to his own personality, which is very paranoid and similar to Kobe.
"Oooo
Westbrook really didn't disappoint Li Ming, or attacked as always, and he was pressed down by at least three people for this ball.
The ball rolled on the ground a few times, and several players scrambled to each other, and in the confusion, Holiday got his hands and sprang at the Thunder for a dunk to score.
The margin returned to 7 points.
βyesοΌβ Hojberg watched the rapidly shrinking score off the field, and muttered involuntarily, Li Ming also understood his intentions, and he did it very well.
"What a brilliant guy!"
There are many good point guards, but excellent point guards are rare, and excellent point guards with high IQ are rare in a century, Hojberg has a hunch that this season, with the emergence of Li Ming, the fate of the Bulls will be very variable.
"And I, too, may succeed with this!" Any coach needs a resume, and the same is true for Hojborg, why does he hate to be bad, because it doesn't reflect his coaching level, so he can't have a good resume, think about the Eagles' Budenholzer didn't just win the coach of the year, and now he has a solid position and a new position? Didn't Rivers of the Clippers also become a championship coach before he didn't worry about his next home? The former still has seventy percent of Popovich's skills, what does Rivers have? Isn't it just a pot of chicken soup? What's the use of this!
Hojberg doesn't think he's worse than Rivers, and the reason why he's not as famous now as Rivers is just a Big Three.
And now, he feels more and more that Li Ming is the one who can make him the next Rivers.
Players and coaches have always complemented each other, Popovich made Duncan, and Duncan made Popovich; The Zen master made Kobe, and Kobe Bryant also made the Zen master;
Everything in the NBA is like this, every part of every system can be taken out and said separately, but every part cannot be missing.
Let's just say that the Boston Celtics' Big Three lacked Rivers? They can't be missing, because their strength is enough, and the run-in is enough, and the difference is a bowl of thick chicken soup.
Don't underestimate the heart of a champion.
Not everyone can recite this slogan well, and naturally not everyone can be a chicken soup type head coach.
On the court, as Westbrook struggled, the Thunder team was also in trouble, obviously there were three giants on the court, but the offense was carried out by Westbrook alone, and the other two were no different from the other two role players, both of whom were accompanying the runners.
Adams may have taken some comfort in his heart, because Paul George and Anthony are much more starry than he is.
"But didn't you join the Thunder Escort Team in the end?!"
Pouting, looking at the time left in the second quarter, there were twenty-four seconds left, and there was finally one last round, since the official timeout until now, Adams has only attacked once, has not scored, and the ball has not touched a few times at other times.
After all, this is a hard-pressed center who has even been robbed of defensive rebounds.
"Phew!" Li Ming's shot was missed, and Westbrook grabbed another defensive rebound and rushed straight towards the Bulls' restricted area, which really let him rush in this time.
Scored a two-point layup, this is probably the spirit of not hitting the south wall and not giving up, and hitting the south wall must hit it!
After conceding N goals in a row, Westbrook finally scored.
The last attack of the Bulls, it was still Li Ming or Lopez, a three-point shot on the right side after a cooperation, and the ball went in!
Roberson was not on the pitch and there were problems with the flank defence.
