Li Ming's full firepower was considered by Gentry in advance, because of the controversy before the game, and because Li Ming is competitive, he has specially studied Li Ming as a player, whenever he encounters controversy or turmoil before the game, he will definitely break out in the next battle.

And it's a jaw-dropping outburst.

But even so, he didn't expect that Li Ming's firepower would be so fierce today, with three three-point shots in the opening game, and a one-on-three breakthrough layup.

The key point is that the trio are complemented by Anthony Davis and Cousins, who are among the best in the league in defending the box.

But as a result, Li Ming still couldn't be prevented.

With such terrifying strength, is this guy really a rookie? Vaguely, he seemed to remember that only half a month ago, Li Ming showed a struggle in the face of the defense of Holliday and Rondo, but now, in the face of the defense of these three people, he can still be so calm.

Give him a little more time, and this son will definitely go against the sky.

However, despite Li Ming's eye-catching performance, Gentry didn't have any other thoughts other than amazement, and as for giving up the game, he never thought about it.

is still the same sentence, Li Ming really can't stop him, any team of players in this state, at most it is a restriction, and it is difficult to block it.

But again, the Pelicans twin towers are not a point that Hoiberg can figure out. Even if Li Ming had scored eleven points in the first four minutes, the difference was still only three points.

Anthony Davis and Cousins fired back-to-back shots, blasting over the heads of Portis and Mirotic, so that they didn't have a temper at all.

Hojberg scratched his head, feeling that the last Magic coach Vogel was about to scratch his hair bald, but to no avail.

You go back and forth, and the two teams have their own points that the other team can't defend, so they both play extremely efficiently, with the Bulls shooting as high as 65 percent, and the Pelicans shooting as high as 72 percent.

However, because the Pelicans were all inside scorers, the Bulls ended the first quarter with a five-point deficit.

"The Bulls mainly shoot from the outside in the first quarter, although their offensive efficiency is very high, but the projection depends on the sky, everyone didn't make any mistakes in the first quarter, and when they feel cold, the shooting percentage will naturally come down, Davis and Cousins need to play a little more ferocious, as long as we maintain the current momentum, we will definitely have a chance!"

At the end of the first quarter, Gentry did not emphasize any defensive arrangement, his arrangement in the first quarter was already in place, and the execution of the players was not bad, but he still couldn't stop Li Ming. So it's useless to re-emphasise those arrangements, and at this time, it's when the players are a little frustrated, and of course it's better to fill these players with a mouthful of thick chicken soup.

This choice worked well, Moore was still a little apprehensive because he didn't defend against Li Ming, he originally relied on defense to establish himself in the league, but when he couldn't contribute on the defensive end, it meant that he was useless, and it also meant that he was very likely to lose the trust of the coach.

Maybe the superstar is not afraid of losing the trust of the coach, after all, there is a real contradiction, then I will force the coach away and replace it, but it is a very fatal thing for a role player to lose the trust of the coach, because it may be that after the contract ends, the league no longer wants his team.

So it's impossible for Moore not to mutter, he doesn't know if he won't have a chance to play at the beginning of the second quarter just because of his performance in the first quarter.

But when he drank the thick chicken soup that Gentry gave him, his heart suddenly stabilized, and Gentry did not blame him, but encouraged him, which showed that he still had a chance to make up for his mistakes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Hojberg gave Li Ming four substitutes and let him play the No. 1 position to control the ball.

Li Ming, who returned to the No. 1 position, was opposite Holliday, who was Holliday's cousin on the Bulls' side, and once stood up for his cousin, but he was taught a lesson by Li Ming and left with a disgrace.

This time again, Holliday is actually unwilling to play against Li Ming, in the past half a month, Li Ming's strength is like a rocket, if he can still deal with Li Ming in the summer league, now, especially the recent Li Ming, that strength is probably against the top 20 guards in the league, and it will not fall behind.

Holliday asked himself if his strength was in the top 20, so he didn't want to deal with Li Ming and save himself ugliness. But if it's really right, he can't back down, at most he frowns, smiles bitterly in his heart, and then cheers up his spirit.

Li Ming doesn't know what he's thinking, but he's also an old opponent, so he naturally has to give him some color to see, think about it, if the 3D players are also shaken by him and can't find the north, how much it will hit their self-confidence.

Facing Holiday directly, dribbling in front of the body, the ball keeps going back and forth, jumping between his left hand and his right hand, Holiday did not reach out, steals are always risky, when facing a master dribbler, it is better to observe the body of the dribbler than to observe the direction of the ball, and only then will the center of gravity not be easily shaken.

Holiday was also a well-known defensive player in the league at the beginning, although he has changed a little in the past two years, but his experience is still there, he does not reach out easily, and keeps a distance of half an arm, which can not only pounce on the shot, but also retreat in time to prevent breakthroughs.

Li Ming tried a few times, and found that Holiday was very experienced in defense and did not do fearless dribbling, in fact, NBA guards will not be bad in dribbling ability, at least compared to those street players fancy moves, they are not unable to do it, but some actions are considered illegal in official games, and because real defensive warriors will not be confused by dribbling fans, so in the NBA, dribbling skills are not the most important, the speed of passing and the magnitude of change of direction is the real judgment of whether this player is a player with breakthrough ability.

This is also why, the NBA players' passing actions are very simple, as far as the layman is concerned, it is clear that this guy is a straight rush, why is the defender being passed by one step, this defense is too watery!

In fact, it's not that you can't defend, but you can't react at all, passing people is actually a game between attackers and defenders, when to attack, when to change direction, are invisible battles.

Li Ming went directly to the right side of Holiday to kill, the latter has been maintained in a relatively sensitive state, so the footsteps subconsciously followed Li Ming's movements, and was not thrown away, Li Ming's body was stunned, and a sudden stop stopped the car, Holiday didn't expect his hand, and the retreating body did not stop in time, and withdrew several steps.
