Chapter 216: The Calm Before the Storm
Seeing this, Stephen Nash originally didn't plan to pass it, but after a little thought, he passed the ball for the sake of the team's unity. Although he knew that the attack would most likely become futile.
When Dudley received the ball, Li Guanyu did not step forward to block it, even though he had a 40% chance to steal directly. Because he thinks that if he shoots the mouse to death all at once, it will be too unstylish, and it will be interesting to play slowly.
After Dudley took the ball and completely stabilized his body, Li Guanyu stepped forward to stand one step in front of Dudley.
"Believe it or not, you can't step inside the three-point line." Li Guanyu suddenly spoke.
"Don't believe it!"
Dudley replied categorically, he didn't think that Li Guanyu's defense was so strong that he couldn't move an inch. After speaking, his shoulders sank suddenly, and he made a gesture to exert force.
But when his ankle was about to kick his feet, he found that his right hand holding the ball was numb - pop!
The right palm loses control of the basketball.
Just as he was about to turn around and chase the ball, something strange happened - the basketball was back on his left side - but I didn't dribble in disguise? I'm planning to accelerate from the right side, right?
When Dudley was suspicious, the audience was in an uproar, apparently the large screen above the ceiling replayed this scene clearly and completely. At the same time, Li Guanyu's indifferent and teasing voice drilled into his ears - poor worm, you have just been cut off by me once.
In response, Dudley was embarrassed. What could be worse than this outright play?
"Don't be ashamed, you deserved to lose to me? Now you have to muster up the courage and be brave enough to challenge inside the three-point line. Li Guanyu used the tone of a kindergarten aunt to train a little pot friend, "I am optimistic about you!" β
For Li Guanyu's merciless teasing, Dudley was not only angry but angry. He was now eager to suck Li Guanyu's blood and chew Li Guanyu's flesh. However, the law does not allow him to do so. The only counterattack he seems to be able to make now is to break through to the three-point line.
So, he gritted his teeth hard, and after a swift crossover between his hands, his calf slammed hard, and the whole person instantly galloped towards the three-point line like a cannonball...... Call!
The moment he started speeding, Li Guanyu turned around. So he passed half of Li Guanyu without any suspense, and the three-point line was one step away.
Just when victory was so within reach for him, he found that his left hand, which was holding the ball, was numb...... Syllable!
The basketball was interrupted again, and this time, the basketball did not magically return to his right hand.
So, he quickly turned around. just hit the oncoming basketball, it was very embarrassing, and the audience laughed.
At this time, the big screen at the scene is playing back such a picture - Dudley quickly passed Li Guanyu, Li Guanyu stretched out his right hand between the electric light and flint and slapped the basketball violently, and in an instant the basketball broke away from Dudley's control and rebounded high into the air, and then Dudley reflexively turned his head, and the basketball just fell from the sky, hitting his not very handsome face.
In the laughter of the audience, Li Guanyu ignored the basketball at his fingertips, and stepped forward to re-block the route between Dudley and the three-point line.
"This is my second chance for you." Li Guanyu continued to judge the poor worm Dudley from the perspective of God: "Why is your breakthrough so pitiful? It actually made me break twice in a row. Are you telling me that you're attacking trash? Or do you praise myself for being strong defensively? β
"You ............" Dudley turned, full of anger and his nose flushed. (Uh... It should be the effect of the impact of the basketball. οΌ
"You have one more chance, seize it! I don't want to tease a rat who has lost his faith. Li Guanyu seemed a little interested, and he even stretched out his arms and yawnedβthe arrogance was vividly revealed between his stretches.
Seeing Li Guanyu yawning, Dudley immediately saw the opportunity and quickly broke through to the left.
Drip! Li Guanyu didn't stop him, the referee stopped him - yes, the referee's gesture was very clear - walk!
Well, God forgive this humiliated guy who lost his normal mind! He took the basketball and took two steps without slapping, well, yes, he was already carried away by the rage.
"Sir, are you sure this is a step? If I'm not mistaken, I only took one step. Dudley was full of grievances, he finally found a chance for a tiger to take a nap, and he actually blew a walking violation in such a daze?
"Yes, I'm pretty sure!" The referee will not doubt his eyes - after all, two steps are fundamentally different from one step.
"I ............" Dudley tried to explain something, but he found himself unable to utter any strong evidence, and even he felt so weak that he himself paled.
Drip!!
The Suns asked for a timeout, this ball was too demoralizing, and Li Guanyu was too unsatisfactory, and he actually played the Suns players like monkeys.
"Hey, man. I've already given you two chances, in fact the third time I'm going to let you pass me. But you yourself were too stupid to miss that opportunity. Li Guanyu did not forget to use trash talk to see him off when Dudley was off. Not surprisingly, Dudley won't be put on the court for at least the second quarter, after all, everyone knows that he must be mentally unbalanced by now. Then again, who wouldn't be mentally unbalanced if they were tricked like this? It's not crazy, it's not crazy, even if it's excellent psychological adjustment ability.
"Hmph, I'll be back." Dudley glared at Li Guanyu viciously, walked quickly back to the bench with a fury that was about to explode, and when he returned to the bench, he covered his head with a wet towel and remained motionless - where did he still have a face.
At this time, Stephen Jackson stretched out a straight thumbs up to Li Guanyu: "Hey, super-lee, you really deserve to be super-lee." You're the greatest animal trainer in the world, and I didn't expect to punish your opponents in this way. This must be more hearty than beating him flat, right? β
"Of course, where is the pleasure of stabbing him in the heart a few times by breaking his fingers? We Chinese pay attention to attacking the heart, hate a person, we have to let him try the negative emotions of heartache and can't help himself. Li Guanyu had a warm smile on his face when he said this, but how he looked like a demon.
"If I didn't have to leave, I'd love to learn more from you." Stephen Jackson said with some sadness: "My gut tells me that you have a lot of things that I should learn to have. β
"Heh, who knew we wouldn't be on the same team in the future? This alliance was originally a business alliance, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Li Guanyu looked very open.
"That's right! If one day my contract ends, I will definitely go to you. Stephen Jackson said, "You're going to have a championship ring to wear. β
"We'll talk about it then!"
While talking, the two had already arrived at the bench, and after each sat down, they did not continue to talk. After all, there are many other teammates and team managers nearby, and for them, the topic is more or less discordant.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦&&&β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Cut off the opponent's ball twice in a row, then return the ball to the opponent, and finally bid farewell to the opponent who was walking in a way that played and said. Tsk, this kind of revenge, I think only Super-Lee can do. There's no doubt that this will be the top 10 of tomorrow's goals, even if it's not a blood-pumping dunk or a blood-pumping block. But, it's a lot more interesting than that, at least that's what I think. Then again, I think everyone thinks the same way as I do, except for Dudley, who doesn't think so. TNT commentator Kenny Smith said.
"This incident once again tells us that if you are not a star of the level of Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, don't easily offend Super-Lee. God knows what he's going to do to humiliate you in the most egregious way? "Veteran Fish Honey Regge Miller is very compassionate.
"I guess the only thing on Dudley's mind right now is repentance, right? Why would he go and make a small move on Lee? Didn't he know that Lee was a violent artistic point guard who had fought in a cage battle and won a bloody victory? "Charles Barkley is also very compassionate.
However, at this time, what Dudley was thinking about was not regret at all, but revenge. He was on the verge of madness, and now he only wanted revenge, and even the way could be ignored. If he was allowed to bring a pistol to the field, it is estimated that he would not hesitate to shoot Li Guanyu in the thigh, and then keep crossover in front of him - well, this is a psychopathic guy.
Drip!
Soon, the timeout ended and the game resumed. The Suns decisively replaced Barbossa on the court, and although he was better than Li Guanyu's defense, it was also better than Dudley's embarrassment on the court. While the Suns are committed to making the game a little more fun and lively, it doesn't mean they're willing to accept their players as a footnote to the comedy.
After the game restarted, Li Guanyu dribbled the basketball to the front court. In a bizarre scene, Barbosa narrowed his defense to the free throw line, and Stephen Nash, who was defending Montaelis, also narrowed his defense - making a clear stance to prevent the Warriors' two guards from breaking through and tearing the defense, and letting them shoot.
"Hey! Why bother? β
Li Guanyu shook his head helplessly, and then jumped out of the three-point line...... Swish!
Three-point hit!
"I have to kindly remind you that I've been shooting more than 80 percent from three-point range in the gym every time, so don't give me gym-level defense!"
After the goal, Li Guanyu did not forget to give the Suns coaching staff a kind reminder. He didn't want the game to lose suspense, and he didn't want to take over the game by scoring himself. After all, for him, the game belongs to Stephen Jackson, and he has no reason to snatch the title of protagonist.
Li Guanyu's roar really made the Suns' defensive line widen again. After all, Li Guanyu had already proven to the world in the last game that he was a scorer, and the Suns didn't have enough stupidity to make such a low-level mistake.
And as soon as the Suns shrink their defense, it means that Li Guanyu has the possibility of assisting Stephen Jackson. However, the cold feeling came so silently. When Li Guanyu almost tried his best to pass through the bags of Stephen Nash, Barbosa, and Grant Hill and distribute the ball to Stephen Jackson, who was unguarded on the right side of the free throw line, what he got was a cold and ruthless sound - Kuang!
The iron is struck!
It's not the right time to go.
And then, Stephen Jackson's three consecutive misses seemed to be a validation of the fact that he had lost his touch.
Stephen Jackson is very comfortable with this fact, he was originally a player who only averaged about 20 points per game, and now his character exploded with 26 points, which is already a great thing, where will he think more.
So, he comforted Li Guanyu in turn.
"Lee, you'd better vote for yourself! To be honest, I'm not sure about anywhere six feet away from the basket right now. β
"Then settle the fight within six feet!" Li Guanyu's words were very decisive, tonight was originally to let Stephen Jackson score at all costs, leaving a deep memory, where can he give up halfway. After a little groaning, he said: "Wait a minute, you and I will do a block and a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, and after the block, we will go down together, and then I will pass the ball to you in the most suitable space at the most suitable time." β
"Good!" Stephen Jackson didn't refuse, he knew Li Guanyu didn't like to refuse.
In the next offense, Stephen Jackson really stayed outside the three-point line, he was originally a shooter who could shoot three-pointers, so Armanderson had to wait outside the three-point line - although he had missed four consecutive shots, who would dare to forget his god-accurate shooting in the first quarter?
Originally, Barbosa's defense didn't need to block and dismantle at all, but in order to draw the Suns' defense into a ball and gather and pack out of the restricted area. Li Guanyu still chose the dispensable pick-and-roll - after using Stephen Jackson's body to slightly block Barbosa's defense, he immediately attacked the basket with lightning speed.
Li Guanyu's pull immediately attracted the Suns' already weak joint defensive front to himself, and Stephen Jackson galloped towards the restricted area very quickly on the other side...... Immediately after, boom! The basket whined violently.
Stephen Nash cooperated with the interior players to use the V-shaped block and dismantle that he liked the most, and was used by Li Guanyu and Stephen Jackson, and even came out of the blue.
"Hey, Stephen, how about this combo offense?" Li Guanyu did not forget to ask Stephen Nash for advice. (Sincerely, with a sincere expression that proves he's not mocking.) οΌ
"It's familiar." Steve Nash's answers are always so decent and unassuming.
"Hehe, there will be more familiar ones next!" Li Guanyu smiled, turned around and defended back.
Next, as Li Guanyu said. Various Stephen Nash's out-of-the-box and in-to-inside combinations are constantly repeated. Under Li Guanyu's miraculous pass, Stephen Jackson, who lost his touch, kept bombing the basket and disturbing the Suns' already weak interior line.
For a while, the Suns really didn't find a way to crack the double straight of Li Guanyu and Stephen Jackson. Put Li Guanyu, he shoots, and no one can stop him. Defend against him? The outside line was originally a sieve, and the Suns couldn't imagine anything good other than being disrupted by his breakthrough.
In this moment, the people of Phoenix miss Rajabel immensely. If he were there, Li Guanyu wouldn't have entered the forbidden area as easily as he had entered the back garden, right?
Drip!
As Li Guanyu's assists continued to climb, the whistle blew at the end of halftime. At this point, the score between the two teams was a terrifying 77-80 (with the Warriors behind), while Stephen Jackson scored a chilling 41 points and 41 points at halftime, which is almost a scoring classic in the past two years.
And Li Guanyu's 21 assists in the half time are also a gorgeous performance, and Stephen Nash's 15 assists are a little insignificant in comparison.
As the players from both sides entered the locker room, the TNT trio began to murmur tirelessly.
"Tonight's game has completely become Li Guanyu's brush assist, Stephen Jackson's brush score show. No passion, no passion, I really hope the Suns can find a way to restrain them, most of the tactics they use are the Suns' own tactics. TNT commentator Kenny Smith muttered.
"Yes, Li Guanyu's second quarter seemed to be a tribute to Stephen Nash, and he could find Stephen Nash's shadow in every assist. If it's just a tribute, then I think it's perfect. The objects he paid his salute to were at a loss, and he couldn't defend them at all. Reggie Miller said.
"Maybe, just because the Suns never beat themselves when they were training on the team, they can't beat the Warriors right now. Now all I want to say is, God, give this game some excitement! I hate games without defense, especially when the female stars on the pitch are so calm. I hope that in the second half, those beautiful stars will wake up, and the Suns will be able to cause a little bit of trouble for the stat duo on the defensive end! Charles Barkley growled, he would love to change the status quo that he was not very comfortable with emotionally.
Well, maybe God heard his cry, and in the second half there was a super passion that no one else expected.
