Chapter 107: Entered? How can it be?
"This guy's defense must be releasing water, otherwise that Chinese kid wouldn't have been able to throw it in."
While dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Thomas said secretly in his heart that in his opinion, it was completely Robinson who did not put pressure on Li Tian's defense to let Li Tian get the opportunity to score, and as for Li Tian suddenly being able to break through and throw, he didn't believe it anyway.
Dribbling to the outside of the three-point line, Thomas still did not choose to pass, a slight pause outside the three-point line, and then started to rush forward.
One of his breakthrough layups missed, and Li Tian broke through and hit it easily, which greatly stimulated Thomas, who was originally going to use his performance to tell Adelman that he was better after the game started, so he decided to attack on his own.
At this time, Evans was also annoyed when he found that Thomas, who had just broken through himself once, was about to break through his own defense again, and the defense became more and more serious.
Evans' defense has always been good, whether it is physical confrontation or foot movement, Thomas did not rely on speed to break through in the beginning, and it is no longer easy to break through directly from Evans' defense.
Two consecutive changes of direction were blocked by Evans, and Thomas, who came to the middle distance on the right side, found it difficult to rush to the basket directly, so he stopped rushing forward, stopped jumping, and shot at Evans' shot.
Evans was not out of position at this time, and at the same time as Thomas jumped, Evans also jumped up and raised his hand to interfere.
"Bang!"
I don't know if it was Evans' interference that affected Thomas, or if he just came to training camp and didn't find his touch, and the basketball bounced out again after smashing on the basket.
Seeing this scene, Adelman's brows on the sidelines couldn't help frowning slightly, in his offensive tactical system, he pays great attention to human movement of the ball, and he doesn't like Thomas's handling of the ball.
The ball bounced down and was grabbed by Thompson, and after getting the ball, Thompson did not hand it to Evans, but waved it to the front with one hand.
There was only one black player who retreated in front of Li Tian, and that was Thorton, and the two were the outlier players when Thomas attacked just now.
When Li Tian received the ball, he had already come to the three-point line, did not pause, and rushed directly to the basket with the ball.
In the case of completely rushing up, Suotun didn't dare to put on the top of the defense, because it was very likely that Li Tian would pass it directly, and at this time he could only keep moving his steps backwards, keeping in front of Li Tian.
Li Tian did not mean to forcibly break through Thorton's defense, rushed into the free throw line and jumped up, Li Tian grabbed the ball in his hand, and threw it directly to the basket without waiting for Thorton to defend on top.
The basketball arcs high, hits the rebound, bounces, and falls into the basket!
"Another high throw?" Seeing Li Tian score the ball again, Thomas, who was following closely behind, was completely stunned.
Li Tian actually has the ability to finish near the basket, which makes Thomas have a strong sense of crisis, the stronger Li Tian is, the more stable his position in the team is, which Thomas does not want to see anyway.
As a teammate, although Thomas didn't want to admit it, he also knew very well that Li Tian's shooting was very lethal, and now, Li Tian was able to break through to the basket and score!
After dribbling past half court, Thomas finally did not choose to attack on his own, and after passing the ball to Thorton, Thomas had a gloomy face, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Thorton held the ball to attack, in front of him Li Tian opened his hands to defend, Thorton obviously also held the same psychology as Thomas, seeing Li Tian defending, his desire to attack suddenly rose, after a slight adjustment, then dribbled the ball and started to rush to the left.
"Porphyry!" Accurately judged the direction of Suoton's breakthrough, and Li Tian posted it.
Thorton did not choose to change direction at this time, carrying Li Tian, Thorton continued to break through from the left side to the basket.
But soon, Thorton found that there was no direct opportunity to attack inside, and Jason Thompson had already moved his feet to help defend in the three-second zone. Although it was only a match within the team, it was the first game in front of the new coach Adelman, and no one dared to slack off.
"Squeak!" Seeing that he couldn't rush into the basket, Thorton stopped jumping sharply, and shot while pulling a little distance from Li Tian, hitting two points.
The ball was back in the hands of the white team, and when Li Tian ran towards the half court, he suddenly found that Thomas was following him.
"Boy, don't think you're great with the ball, it's just that Marcus didn't defend well." While following Li Tian's side, Thomas said coldly.
"This guy has a good run off the ball, and if the coach thinks he's good with the ball, he won't have a chance to return to the starting lineup." This is what Thomas thinks in his heart, in his opinion, he will be squeezed out of the starting lineup because of Li Tian, and Marcus Thornton has not been able to stop Li Tian's attack twice in a row, so Thomas decided to come on his own.
According to Li Tian's thoughts, after two consecutive attacks, he is no longer ready to take the initiative to run and ask for the ball to attack, after all, this is only the first day of training camp, and his teammates also hope to be able to perform in front of the coach.
However, after hearing Thomas's words, Li Tian changed his mind again. When he came to the half, Li Tian ran actively again.
With Li Tian's running skills at this time, it is almost impossible to prevent Li Tian from receiving the ball by one person, and when Li Tian flashed out from outside the three-point line on the right side, he had once again got the opportunity to catch the ball.
And Evans was also very supportive of Li Tian today, seeing Li Tian running to catch the ball outside the three-point range, he sent the ball to Li Tian as soon as possible.
When Li Tian took the ball, Thomas happened to run to him, and Li Tian, who had made up his mind to stimulate Thomas fiercely, still didn't shoot.
Dangling left and right, after receiving the ball, he shook to the left and made a feint, Li Tian immediately smashed the ball on the floor and rushed to the right!
"Want to break through again? Stop dreaming! Taking the initiative to find Li Tian's defense was to prevent Li Tian from breaking through, Thomas immediately yelled in his heart after seeing Li Tian dribble and break through.
Although he was slightly deceived by Li Tian's first shake, Thomas still reacted quickly and stuck to Li Tian's side.
Dribbling the ball to the side and rushing forward, Li Tian did not have too much physical entanglement with Thomas, and after rushing into the three-point line for two steps, he found that Thomas's pace increased and seemed to be going to the front to stop him from rushing forward, Li Tian suddenly sneered in his heart.
"Squeak!" A violent friction sound sounded, and Li Tian, who was still rushing forward with the dribble, instantly stopped rushing forward, and at the same time jumped up, holding the ball high in his hand and preparing to shoot, it was Li Tian's emergency stop jump shot that he had practiced hard this summer!
Pull-up jumpers?
Seeing Li Tian jumping up in the air, Thomas was secretly stunned in his heart, and then quickly raised his hand to interfere.
Not only Thomas, but Evans, Cousins, Thorton and others were all surprised at this time, today's Li Tian is completely different from their impression of Li Tian, the first two balls were breakthrough throws, and now, they actually played a stop-and-go jump shot!
Jumping in the air, while his body was still rising, Li Tian's ball had already flown out of his hand!
This summer, Li Tian has been improving his speed of emergency stop-and-go jump shots.
Thomas's height gap was originally large, and Li Tian's shooting speed was extremely fast at this time, so Thomas couldn't bring more interference to Li Tian at all.
"Could it be that this guy even practiced a pull-up jump shot? No way! It must not be. Watching the basketball fly over his head, Thomas quickly turned to look at the basketball in the air, and at the same time cursed in his heart.
However, his curse was destined to be null and void, and a summer of hard training allowed Li Tian to maintain a good hand.
"Huh!" The basketball is hollow into the net, clean and neat!
"Entered? How can it be? How could this guy possibly these things! Looking at the basketball into the net, listening to the crisp sound, Thomas was extremely shocked, first the breakthrough after the throw, and now there is a breakthrough in the emergency stop jump shot, these things before Li Tian is completely unwilling!
