Chapter 272: Winning the Pistons
Li Ming's three attacks were stronger and stronger each time, especially the last one, which was simply to treat Smith like a chair, a piece of wood, and a robot without batteries.
Not at all!
Just two steps outside the three-point line, he shot directly!
This is something Smith couldn't have imagined, because an undrafted pick like him simply can't appreciate such talent.
These three attacks also wiped out all his thoughts of trying to defend Li Ming.
Now it seems that he is undoubtedly a little ridiculous with these thoughts!
These are his last thoughts ... How can he defend against a monster like this?
If he can prevent it, how can he be a draft loser? This task is really too difficult for him.
One may not be presumptuous, but in the face of great power, in the face of ironclad facts ... No amount of mental cues will save the player, he will be frustrated and sad, and then rise to the team's thinking about his confidence and ability.
The head coach of the Detroit Pistons also saw it... Smith is in very bad shape right now and he decided to replace him... It's a pity that the defender who returned to the court didn't look much better than Smith, and was played with by Li Ming.
Soon he was defeated!
And Li Ming, who has no one to defend again, not only proves that he has the scoring ability of almost unlimited firepower, but also helps the Bulls widen the point gap in this offense again and again.
The margin opened up faster than Griffin could catch up.
After all, the gap between the Pistons guard and Li Ming is definitely bigger than the gap between Mirotic and Griffin...
It's not surprising that you can't catch up, and it's not surprising that the score difference is getting bigger and bigger!
Eventually, the first half of the game was over... The score was 56-42, and the Bulls stretched the margin to 14 points. This gap should be enough to guarantee that they will win this game.
So at halftime, Hojberg's tactic was for Li Ming to continue to play...
Belch... This seems a bit paradoxical, because it stands to reason that in such an advantageous situation, Hojberg will not let Li Ming play more.
However, if he wants Li Ming to clock out in the third quarter, he must continue to play in the third quarter and widen the difference.
It seems that they are ahead of a lot of points, but these points are all completed by Li Ming alone, and they have little to do with others, so he has to continue to open up the score difference!
If he explains it this way, he naturally has no objection to arranging Li Ming like this, no matter how he says, Hojberg is the head coach and the players must do what the head coach says, in order to ensure the stability of the team and ensure that the team keeps moving forward!
The second half of the game didn't really mean much. Because the entire guard line of the Pistons has been crushed by Li Ming.
The rest is only a matter of time before it goes from crush to rout! It's just a matter of how much time Li Ming is willing to spend! It's just Li Ming... The question of whether you want to or not!
But although they lost, the Pistons were not completely without gains in this game, at least they gained a Griffin - a Griffin during the Clippers period, a Griffin who could use his body to kill the basket!
Maybe after this game, they will pick up an inside killer, which is in line with what they expected from the original trade with the Clippers.
If they lose this game, they can get what they want. Then they lost this game unjustly!
After all, the Eastern Fish Belly team, losing one game, winning one game is really not a big deal!
One hundred and eleven to one hundred and three!
The Bulls eventually won, but only by eight points.
But the gap between their Pistons and the Bulls was far more than that, and it was just garbage time that allowed them to recover some points, so that the difference in the field was far less than the real strength of their two teams showed...
Post-match Q&A session.
Li Ming attended, and there have been a lot of questions from reporters recently, because it is almost the All-Star Weekend.
So the reporters' questions are more and more related to the All-Star Weekend, even if Li Ming cut another 30 points in this game...
However, no reporter raised the issue, because in their opinion, it was a few months ago when Li Ming cut 30 points or was still news.
It will not be a new thing for Li Ming to score 30 points in a game.
Not many fans will pay attention to it, because he is too normal, and it is as easy for him to score 30 points as Zhou Qi to score 1 point.
On the contrary, if Li Ming didn't get 30 points, this might be a piece of news, and it would be a big news, and the headline of the news could say that Li Ming played sluggishly in that game and only scored 28 points!
While it is hard to imagine that 28 points would be a sluggish performance for a player, it is true. Twenty-eight points is indeed a little lower for Li Ming!
"Li Ming, it's great to witness you get another victory, this game makes your Bulls team look so strong! And you didn't play after the third quarter as usual, but you still scored 30 points, which is a rare rarity among all rookies. And the All-Star Game is about to begin, do you think you can make the All-Star Game? ”
A reporter took the lead in asking the question, this question is for the All-Star Game, because now the voting for the All-Star Game starters has begun, so it is not abrupt to ask this question at this time!
Li Ming thought about it carefully, and he did not deny it, but affirmed it unusually well: "I definitely hope to be qualified for the All-Star Game." In the same way, I would prefer that I be ... The starter of the All-Star Game, although I know that no rookie in recent years has been able to accomplish this achievement, I believe that with my performance this year, I have the right to say this, so please do so. Fans, vote for me! ”
After Li Ming said this, the reporters at the scene laughed, but they didn't mean to laugh. The reason why they laugh is because Li Ming's canvassing is really a bit simple, compared to others, they use video, software or what kind of canvassing method. Li Mingming's way seemed a little too temporary, as if he hadn't thought about canvassing at all, but the reporters suddenly mentioned this issue, and he said it in passing!
There is no hint of canvassing at all!
"So who do you think you can take in this All-Star Game?!"
