Chapter 2 Sharp Defense, Quick Counterattack
After the system match was completed, Li Ming confidently played.
I saw him high-five Conley who walked down, and walked quickly to the bottom line, he only felt hot and dry, and some inexhaustible strength.
"Hey, who's this No. 7, what's the matter with the coach, don't you want to win?" The home stands were buzzing.
"yes, I haven't seen it play, isn't Kyle still sitting on the bench? Why don't you go to him but go to a yellow race. โ
Obviously, the home fans didn't buy the manager's substitution.
"Shaq, do you think Hollins is giving up? No, this first quarter isn't over yet. Barkley laughed.
"It's true that I haven't seen this No. 7 appear, but since he can stay, there must be a reason for him, Hollins is an old-school man, he must have his own reason."
Shaq was also laughing in his heart at this time, but he was laughing at Charles, could it be that he forgot the taste of donkey's ass so quickly?
At this time, Paul's ball has been released, and the opponent has also replaced Nick Young on the court, and Nick Young advances with the ball.
Hollins kept yelling at Li Ming, making gestures, signaling him to defend Paul, and Nick Young handed it over to Rudy Guy, but he let the coach turn his teachings and ran towards Nick Young with a sneer.
"Damn, Nick Young can't pass the ball, this has become a ballad in our time, what are you staring at Paul."
Li Ming smiled secretly in his heart.
I saw him sneaking behind Nick Young, at this moment Nick Young was facing Guy's long arm and was about to make a move to cut into the basket, Leng Buding was picked up from behind, the ball flew into the sky, Li Ming jumped and dialed the ball in the air to the nearest Guy.
Guy ran quickly after winning the ball, and this Guy was also a strong player, and the draft template of that year was Maddie.
He has amazing bounce and explosiveness, as well as a long-range shot, and most importantly, a pair of long arms that can rival the little prince Prince Prince of the Pistons period.
I saw him change direction and pass the bag of Nick Young and Griffin in a row, face Jordan Jr. under the basket, and jump high.
This little Jordan was also riveted, and secretly said in his heart: "Lao Tzu is a strong contender for the best defender, will you dunk?" Save you. "A pair of long arms came all over the world.
When the two were about to make contact in the air, no one noticed that a Li Ming, who was still in the backcourt earlier, had quietly cut into the basket, and Guy caught a glimpse of a white shadow entering the paint circle.
"Wonderful."
One hit the ground, little Jordan was in the air, knowing that he was fooled, and it was too late to turn back, only to see Li Ming take off to avoid Nick Young, who came up to make up for the defense, and made a beautiful backhand layup, and the ball went into the net.
"Wow, that seems pretty good, doesn't it? Anyway, I got two points back. โ
This attack and defense livened up the atmosphere at home, and people began to take a fresh look at the little man in front of them.
Continue to serve.
Paul made a gesture and slowly took the ball across the half, he was such a wise commander, he always made the best decisions in every situation, and when he saw that the home team was about to get up, he deliberately slowed down the tempo and pressed the game.
Anyway, they are ahead, not in a hurry.
"Sure enough, it's the god of point guards, old fritters."
Li Ming smiled and stepped forward, only to see him raise his long arms to cover Paul's eyes, and Paul didn't even look at his beautiful pass to Griffin's hand.
Griffin stood sideways at the top of the arc and pushed it inside twice, but did not push Zach Randolph, and passed the ball back to Paul's hands, Nick Young was interspersed back and forth around the baseline waiting for an opportunity to cut the basket, Paul quickly raised the ball to the top of his head, and Li Ming hurriedly jumped up.
"Not good, not shooting...... He's going to break through ......"
I saw Paul calmly and quickly enter the three-second zone, Li Ming hurriedly caught up in front of him after landing, Paul was not in a hurry to shoot, made a gyroscopic action on the spot, and threw the ball lightly.
The oblique stab Griffin flew in, and when he saw that he was about to dunk into the basket, he saw Li Ming pull the onion on dry land and fan the ball away, leaving Griffin stunned in place.
"Wow, what just happened?" Shaq screamed, grimacing in the studio.
"It seems that this Chinese kid is okay, by the way, what's his name......" Barkley still stiffened.
However, the information they got through the backstage broadcast was only the words "Huaxia Li Ming".
He doesn't even have a guaranteed contract, it seems that he signed a ten-day contract, a typical, pure "water cooler player" who rarely gets a chance to play.
11 to 19, the Federal Express Arena, which can accommodate 19,000 people, instantly boiled, and in just 32 seconds, this ability to convert offense ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.
"Come on, Kung Fu Kid."
"Kick them in the ass, Asian boy." Everyone began to praise this little defender from China without hesitation.
"It's kind of interesting." Paul snorted coldly and walked past Li Ming, "Welcome to the NBA, rookie." โ
Paul looked at Li Ming with contempt, and Li Ming's hairs stood on end, and cold sweat flowed.
We all know that Paul has a lot of small moves in playing, and he is all under the nose of the referee, teaching people to be unguardable.
Li Ming began to be alert.
He quickly ran back to his half and settled near the centre circle.
Paul took the ball and pushed forward, and gave the ball to Crawford at 45 degrees to the left side with a long blow under the sweep of his eyes, and Crawford took the ball and rushed directly into the basket diagonally, attracting two defenders before returning the ball to the unguarded Griffin.
Griffin made a shot, but Randolph was unfazed, apparently he had a long shot for him.
"Sample, it's up to you? If you want to vote, you can vote enough. Randolph smiled and clapped his hands vigorously at Griffin.
"Don't vote, this idiot has been fooled." As soon as Paul came over to answer again, Griffin had already made a shot, the ball smashed into the front of the basket, and Gasol Jr. jumped high to take the ball into his arms.
At the same time, Li Ming and Guy quickly ran towards the front court, and the two crossed runs to keep their defenders out of the way, and Gasol was quick with a long quarterback-style pass.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and Li Ming jumped up to catch the ball steadily.
The ball didn't touch his hands, didn't stop at all, and with a high throw, Guy jumped high and slammed the ball into the basket with a one-handed slam.
โWell do
e!!โ After landing on the ground, Guy and Li Ming came to celebrate with a chest bump.
Everyone was thrilled by the perfect fit, high-fived each other and returned to their backcourt, and the Clippers' chance to play a quick counterattack was gone.
Paul slowly dribbled the ball to the middle circle, Li Ming leaned closely, and Paul changed hands and sat in step by step with his butt against Li Ming.
"Damn, it's worthy of being the top big ass in the league, it's really powerful." Li Ming was already visibly struggling, and although he had the blessing of the glove defense card, he still couldn't stop Paul's step.
"No, this will be pierced by him, so we have to change the way." Li Ming knew that there was no advantage in fighting the next handicap, so he took half a step up and leaned on Paul.
Paul smiled slightly and pressed the center of gravity lower, and when he was about to exert his strength, Li Ming suddenly retreated, Paul lost his center of gravity suddenly, and Li Ming turned around and cut the ball away.
Suddenly accelerated, and there was no one in front of him, only to see him end this offensive and defensive switch with a gorgeous one-handed hanging frame.
Yes, it's the frame dunk, the way to dunk that is branded with the Wiin Scout stamp.
The Federal Express Center was caught in a sea of water, and the big screen kept cutting through the highlights of the previous rounds.
Rivers gestured toward the bench and the Clippers called a timeout.
Obviously, the head coach of this champion is also starting to sit still, and he has lost the calm and leisure he had at the beginning. He began to rub his hands together and paced back and forth in the arena.
A wave of 9-0 directly stopped the Clippers, and everyone in the Grizzlies also came up to congratulate them, constantly touching Li Ming's head.
Although they had never paid attention to him before.
Hollins took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand to clapped Li Ming.
Conley sat on the bench and didn't say a word, he wasn't stingy, he was just angry with himself.
Because his premature foul cost him the opportunity to face Paul directly, all the guards in the league were proud of going head-to-head with Paul.
In their hearts, the Clippers' Paul is a benchmark, a benchmark for traditional point guards.
"Continue to maintain this kind of pressing defense, and don't give the opponent a chance to run back to the bottom line."
Hollins pulled Rudy Gay aside, and it was clear he wasn't happy with Gay's gambling defense.
"Wow, look, this Asian kid actually taught our Chris a lesson, remove the bench, it seems that he has an inexhaustible amount of energy in his body."
Ross Barkley also began to praise the number 7.
That's his specialty.
In the first place, the league set a Barkley rule for Barkley in order to prevent Barker from using his strong ass to push away defenders and go straight to the basket.
Put simply, the five-second rule was set to prevent Barkley from pushing people all the way to the basket near the middle circle.
"Charles, do you think Memphis still has a chance in today's game?" O'Neill quipped.
"Although the Memphis have the advantage on the inside, their commander is still on the bench, and the Clippers' Chris is a master of control, and he won't give up his lead for nothing, just watch."
Barkley's assessment is to the point. After all, he has two brushes, and he is very thief, but he is less than one - Li Ming, who is blessed with various skills, is the X-factor.
"Chris, don't worry too much, he's just one
obody, don't interfere with your rhythm. Rivers said as he patted Paul on the shoulder.
"Jamal, Blake, you two play pick-and-roll with Chris at the top of the arc and then cut to the basket quickly, and now we are still ahead, don't try to make three points easily, play steadily, even if you can't score, you can get a foul."
At the same time, Rivers replaced Nick Young with the defensive, faster Bledsoe, who was obviously going to treat him in his own way, ready to go crazy and attack Memphis's basket.
