Chapter 151: Give Me a Li Ming (The Second Shift for Fox Smoking, the Seventh Shift in Total)
Li Ming suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the rhythm of the game, especially in the breakthrough, he would subconsciously read the defense, find out the flaws, and no longer force the attack as before.
How to describe himself!
"Or rather, I've had 10 years of experience in the NBA!" Li Ming muttered to himself, and suddenly reacted, didn't all these experiences come from Uncle Bao's super defense?
This skill that Li Ming acquired for the first time, and now it seems that as he plays more and more games, his understanding of those defensive experiences is becoming more and more in place.
So now his ability to read defense has also improved.
It's as if rote memorization of texts may suddenly be forgotten during an exam, while texts memorized by comprehension are always in your mind.
In the past, although Li Ming had Bowen's super defense, he was more of a rote memorization and forcible use, but now he is fully integrated and can extract part of the content anytime and anywhere.
This will not only improve the defensive ability, but also the offensive ability.
The Bulls' current lead over the Raptors is an easy scoring opportunity for Li Ming to use his well-understood defensive ability to read the Raptors' defensive holes.
Truth be told, Bowen's defensive ability may not be one of the best defenders in the league, but his understanding of defense is absolutely top-notch, otherwise he wouldn't have been a member of the league's best defensive team for several years in a row due to his mediocre physical qualities.
It's a pity that sometimes, being able to see through it doesn't mean that you can do it.
Casey's rearranged defense is still dominated by a single defense Li Ming, but the person who assists in defense is replaced by Powell, a guy who continues to grow and finally grows into a defensive gate, and can completely get rid of Lowry's Li Ming after a single defense and dismantling.
The game scene also formed a deadlock because of this change in the Raptors, of course, this is also related to Li Ming's position, Li Ming, who is in the No. 1 position, is mainly a tandem team.
Several offenses played back and forth with the opposing side, and soon the first quarter of the game was over, and Li Ming's several passes through the Raptors' defense made Casey no longer dare to let the assistant defenders get too far away from his defensive players.
Even Powell was scored several goals by Portis because of his disposition, which shows the great threat of Li Ming's pass now. The improvement of game experience is an all-round improvement of Li Ming's overall strength, and now he is as calm as a veteran.
How terrible is that?
A player who can pass the ball and score on his own, and his physical fitness is explosive, and he is still so calm, which makes Casey a little envious of Hoiberg's life, why is it so good?
The rhythm of the game was so firmly in the hands of Li Ming, in the first half of the second quarter of the game, the Raptors could still only be tired of chasing points, and the entire defense line was pulled by Li Ming alone, as if a fox who had become a spirit threw a group of old hunters around.
When you are trapped, you immediately pass the ball to help your teammates score; When you are single-defended, you can use the position of your teammates to shake off the defense and score; When running without the ball, it can often help teammates to create a great attacking environment.
In one sentence, the current Li Ming is full of threats even a simple run.
The score difference continued to widen, and in the blink of an eye, it exceeded 10 points. Seeing that the situation was good, Hojberg put Li Ming down to rest.
According to what he thought, there were only three minutes left in the second quarter, supported by the rest of the Bulls, so that Li Ming had plenty of time to rest, and wait for another wave to take away the Raptors in the third quarter and easily complete revenge.
But the idea was good, but the situation on the field was not as he wanted.
Without Li Ming, the outside line of the Bulls was beaten into a sieve under the offense of All-Star guards Lowry and DeRozan, full of holes. At the same time, the outside line affected the inside line, and Wärtsilä Yunas and Ibaka teamed up to make a mess of the Bulls' interior line.
In just three minutes, the Bulls wasted all the ten-point gap that Li Ming had worked hard for 21 minutes.
"Wow!" Hojberg had no choice but to shake his head, the army's morale was in chaos, and letting Li Ming play at the last moment didn't play a role, so he could only comfort himself: Forget it! So be it! Anyway, this kind of thing is for others to chase.
Thinking about it, Hojberg unexpectedly felt better.
After Li Ming scored three goals, the Bulls returned to their previous calm running position.
Li Ming started to organize the attack again, and it took time for him to get used to his sudden metamorphosis. In seven or eight minutes, under his leadership, the difference was re-opened to 8 points.
Hojberg put Lee off the court again, and the same scene was repeated again, and just two minutes later, the Raptors equalized again.
86-86, the same score, and both teams entered the fourth quarter.
Hojberg looked desperate, and he could see that once Li Ming was off the court, the Bulls' outside line would instantly become a disadvantage, and this disadvantage was especially obvious when facing a team with excellent outside line.
Li Ming was also aggrieved, he was present for thirty-one minutes, and the difference between the front and back points added up to eighteen points, but it was only five minutes after the game, and the eighteen-point difference was all erased.
Good guy, the loser didn't lose like that, did he?
Angry, Li Ming was particularly irritable in the fourth quarter, and several times he caused damage to the inside, and he also played all of them, including a slam dunk on Wärtsilä Yunas, which shocked the audience.
I just separated Axey and Cousins in the last game, and this time I blocked Wärtsilä Younas, this guy has been really irritable lately!
The buckle is always the most inspiring, especially when it is still the home field, the whole audience is boiling, and the sound of shouting has become a sea of oceans.
In the vast ocean, the Raptors are like a small fishing boat with a broken canvas, washed into pieces by one wave after another.
This time, Li Ming did not go down, so the Raptors also failed to narrow the difference.
When the final whistle blew, the Bulls took revenge at home, and in a cheer for Li Ming, the Bulls won eight in a row.
At the Raptors' press conference after the game, Casey looked at the long guns and short guns off the court, and his face was full of helplessness: "You ask me why I lost?" All right! I can only say that if I give me a Li Ming, I can also win, okay? ”
"The children's performance tonight was very good, there were not many mistakes, and they were also very tenacious, they tied the score twice, it is really enough to do these things well, I don't have anything to say, or that sentence, Li Ming is really a very special rookie! To be honest, I envy Coach Hojborg's good fortune, there used to be four players in the league who could make the difference between winning and losing a game on their own, and now, it's five! ”
