Chapter 164: Suppression
"Peng!"
The blue figure wearing the No. 5 jersey was like an angry King Kong, roaring and falling from the sky, taking the basketball thrown by Li Dong to the rebound with both hands, and smashing it into the basket fiercely!
This dunk is extremely domineering, and the speed of flying in motion is even more shocking under the camera. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The audience exclaimed, gasped in unison, and even some unfocused Rocket fans subconsciously cheered, cheering for this wonderful cooperation, and found that the friends around them were unmoved, so they woke up and sat down again after seeing the situation on the court clearly.
Coach Skiles' eyes lit up on the field, Li Dong's overall view was unexpectedly good, and he and Oladipo always complemented each other.
Immediately afterwards, the Rockets attacked inside, Patrick Beverley broke through to the inside like a Hot Wheel, and distributed the ball to Harrell who was ambushed, and the mini big man flew up with the ball very toughly, leaning on Aaron Gordon to score the ball.
"What an ugly pose." Li Dong complained in his heart, thinking that he could not act chicly.
Li Dong is not boasting, all his technical movements are very beautiful, even the most ordinary dribbling, under the control of his long arms, is like a butterfly wearing flowers, pleasing to the eye.
It's just that now, as a rookie who is working hard to gain a foothold, he doesn't have much opportunity to play tricks.
After half-time, he honestly followed the Magic playbook. He ran to the position of the elbow area, covered Oladipo without the ball, and at the same time went to the bottom corner himself, opening up space for the core to attack, and Brewer behind him followed suit, he was cleaned up by Li Dong just now, where do you dare to relax at this moment.
It's just that the quality of this double cover with the inside line is average, Oladipo didn't completely shake off Thorton behind him, that kid was red-eyed, and he simply regarded Oladipo as an enemy and Li Dong's hateful accomplice to defend.
C.J. Watson retracted his preparation for the pass, and with a wrong step, he broke through to the inside.
This scolding, today he seems to feel the scolding back a little, after breaking through Patrick Beverley, he hit two points.
At 30-22, the Magic led by eight points.
As soon as it was the Magic's turn to attack, Watson ran to the frontcourt, and then shook a few times to complete the block with Aaron Gordon, and shot a three-pointer between the outside.
Return! 33 to 22.
Kevin McHale's eyelids jumped wildly and immediately called a timeout.
The Magic players immediately walked off the court with a giggle, although Li Dong was a little depressed that he didn't touch the ball, but he knew that this was the NBA, and it was impossible to have a chance to touch the ball every time he attacked like in college, unless he was a superstar.
After the timeout, McHale replaced Sam Decker, but the point guard was not replaced, and it was Patrick Beverley.
Patrick Beverley's defense is notoriously tenacious in the NBA, and if even he can contain the Magic's perimeter, replacing Lawson wouldn't be much better.
The timeout worked, and Patrick Beverley, unaware of the order, immediately went up more than one step against Watson, and continued to make small movements, as if trying to provoke him.
It's just that Watson is not an ordinary person, as soon as he saw that the breakthrough could not be achieved, he transferred the ball to Li Dong, who came out of the 45-degree pocket, and Oladipo was still playing peek-a-boo with the defenders on the inside at this time.
As soon as Li Dong saw that his opportunity to attack had arrived, he was not polite, he bent down, kicked his legs, and struck Sam Decker in the opposite direction like a vigorous cheetah.
After coming out like this, the catch is stronger, not to mention Sam Decker, who is not very good defensively, even if he is replaced by Oladipo, he may not be able to defend it.
One is that the center of gravity is difficult to adjust, and the other is that the pace is not easy to change, and when the sliding step is just adjusted, the offensive player has already occupied a more advantageous position.
So Li Dong quickly led by half a position, and once again showed his amazing breakthrough ability in front of the audience.
Sam Decker is inexperienced, if he fouls at the first time, Li Dong's breakthrough can only fail, and now Li Dong's speed has been achieved, when he reacted and was about to foul, he couldn't even catch the corner of his clothes, only to see the huge No. 1 behind him, which was blown up by the flowing air......
Li Dong didn't rush to the inside line that was still crowded, and directly dribbled two steps before making a quick stop jump shot.
The distance is the same as the free throw line, Li Dong's shooting rate in this kind of place is extremely high, and no one interferes like a leisurely stroll, easily scoring these two points.
35 to 22.
The cheering sound on the scene became weaker and weaker, seeing that the morale of the home team was exhausted, McHale blew his beard angrily and glared, he paced back and forth for a few steps, but still decided to change the main force in advance, and with a big wave of his hand, James Harden and other main players took off their training clothes in front of the technical statistics table, and were ready to play when the ball was dead.
At the moment, the Rockets players on the court are not good defensively, and the offense is also in a quagmire.
Capela's inside shot was actually covered by the weak defense of the Magic inside Gordon, and Oladipo, who was fast in receiving the ball, threw a long pass into the hands of Li Dong in the front court, Li Dong hit zero in the front court, and Sam Decker behind him chased closely.
Li Dong felt a pang in his heart, and when he watched the player information before the game, he knew that Sam Decker was the best at chasing blocks, so he secretly kept a thought in his heart.
It's just that his speed has been very fast, and before he can think about it, he rushes into the three-point line, and it is only three steps away from the basket.
"No matter!"
Li Dong's eyes changed, and he put away the basketball outside the free throw line.
One step, two steps......
Li Dong stepped on the floor with one strong foot and flew up, he grabbed the basketball with one hand, raised his straight arm high, against the position of 45 degrees in front of him, and at the same time put the other hand on the side for balance, and his feet were spread like large characters.
Behind him, Sam Decker didn't have time to slow down, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Li Dong's dunk was too cunning, it looked like Jordan's classic posture, but he actually put the ball in a position where he was extremely safe, and he knew in his heart that even if his arm span grew by another thirty centimeters, he would not be able to cover it.
"Bang dang!"
Li Dong didn't hear the rest of the voices behind him, knowing that Sam Decker had given up chasing the hat, he felt proud for a while, and after smashing the basket with his palm, his whole body subconsciously shook and was arrogant to the extreme.
The fans at the scene let out a lament, 37 to 22, why is this rookie on the opposite side so powerful?
Oladipo ran over and high-fived Li Dong, "Where did you see this shaking, it's so handsome." ”
Li Dong smiled, "I forgot, it seems that LeBron or others have had it, and I subconsciously shook it, I must have watched too much of the video of the dunk these days." ”
After that, both teams played two iron each, and the score difference remained the same.
There has been no chance of a dead ball, and the Rockets who are waiting in front of the technical table are cold. "Damn, why don't you foul?" Granger cursed.
Aaron Gordon hit a mid-range shot, and then Patrick Beverley scored two points on an inside layup to make it 39-24.
At this time, the Rockets players finally waited for the chance to die, and Oladipo stepped on the line with a dribble and needed to re-serve on the sideline. The Rockets' waiting main players came on the court and replaced the bench players.
After a few rounds, the second official timeout came as scheduled, and the second quarter was already halfway through the second quarter.
"Well done, Lee!" Skiles smiled, and in the second quarter, Watson and Li Dong took turns to exert their power, and the hope of winning the Rockets back-to-back greatly increased.
There was a joyous scene on the bench, only one person fidgeted.
Naturally, it was Payton, who was also a rising star in Orlando, from the second quarter when the head coach put Li Dong and Oladipo on the court at the same time, he felt uncomfortable, and now seeing Li Dong on the court, he felt a strong crisis in his heart - as if Li Dong became the core one day, what would happen to him? Peyton shuddered, when that time comes, will he obediently become a puppet point guard and do some simple off-ball runs? Or let him do the defense, do the support?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and there was no time in his heart like now, where he was desperate to compete again.
