Chapter 2: Rescuing the Lakers on the edge of the cliff
Before playing.
Jackson walked up to Li Jie and said expressionlessly: "Lee, wait for you to control the ball, hand it over to Kobe Bryant after half time, and if you have the opportunity, you can also attack by yourself!" ”
Li Jie was happy in his heart and nodded without hesitation.
Maybe Jackson wants to emphasize "give the ball to Kobe", but Li Jie believes that the focus should be on "attacking yourself when you have the opportunity".
"I'm a systematic protagonist, isn't it a waste for you to let me be a tool like Fisher?"
The substitution lights soon came on, and after Lee Kit and the replaced Fisher high-fived, they stepped onto the court for the first NBA playoff game in two lifetimes.
At this time, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping, who were sitting in the CNTV5 studio in Kyoto, China, thousands of miles away, also noticed this phenomenon.
Yu Jia immediately said in his penetrating voice: "Audience friends, our Huaguo player Li Jie has finally come on the court and ushered in the first playoff game of his career, maybe his appearance can bring some surprises to this dull game." ”
Zhang Weiping: "Hey, it's worthy of Jackson, he really dares to use people at critical times, and the handsome is different from others." ”
However, the audience in front of the TV did not buy it, if Li Jie was just selected a year ago, everyone still had certain expectations for him.
But after a season, Li Jie didn't play a few games, and everyone knew that his strength was not good, so they turned on the taunt mode on the TV:
"The game went into garbage time, and the Lakers replaced the garbage players!"
"It's a joke that a Chinese guard goes to play in the NBA!"
"Li Jie and Kobe Bryant won 5 championships in the NBA!"
"It's good to play, at least I will have the capital to brag about when I go back to the CBA next season!"
……
Li Jie didn't know that the fans at home were scolding him, even if he knew that he couldn't do anything!
You still occupy a place in your dishes, don't you scold others?
He's now concerned with how to turn the game around and become an overnight success.
With 8:21 left before the end of the game, the Lakers trailed by 32 points at 68:100, and if Barriaga scored again, it would be 33 points.
This pit is huge!
But there is also good news, the Mavericks' star Nowitzki and Terry, who are hot today, are out of the game.
Chandler was also absent from their inside line, with only Kidd and Marion, two offensive underdogs, playing with three substitutes.
And most of the Lakers' starters are still on the court!
In addition, the head coach of the men's basketball team of a certain country also said a classic saying - 20 points is a fart!
Now Li Jiemo changes it - 33 points is!
The reason why he is so confident is that he sees his own attributes on the system panel.
Offense: 91 from close range, 86 from midrange, 85 from three-point range, 89 from the free throw, 92 layups, 69 from the back, 84 fouls;
Defense: 92 inside defense, 86 outside defense, 85 steals, 80 blocks, 97 IQ, 85 defensive rebounds, 54 offensive rebounds;
Technique: 86 possession, 85 passing, 92 passing insight, 75 breakover;
Body: Strength 90, Stamina 93, Speed 75, Bounce 66, Scramble 95.
Overall: 93.
In 2K, those with a rating of more than 90 points are all superstar-level, and Li Jie never imagined that he could also reach this level.
In his current body, it should be a perfect fusion of the attributes of Green and Poole, the offensive attributes come from Poole, and the others are Green's.
Although his athleticism is almost and he can't dunk in the sky, Li Jie is already very satisfied with this score.
……
The game resumes.
After Barriaga made the free throw, it was still the Mavericks' possession.
Kidd sent the ball to the sideline, Barria ran out to catch the ball, and Li Jie quickly blocked him with his arms outstretched.
“Jose,Jose,Jose!” The fans at the scene were chanting Barria's name in unison.
It stands to reason that this is the treatment that only the star of the house has, and Barria should not have it as a substitute.
But tonight, he deserves it.
So far, Barria has scored 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has blown up the Lakers' guard line, or Bynum would not have attacked him in anger.
You know, Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki only scored 17 points today.
Seeing that the Lakers sent a water cooler manager to defend themselves, Barria couldn't help but feel contemptuous, waved his hand and refused Marion, who was going to block him, and signaled that he wanted to play alone.
"Kid, this is your first playoff game, and I think it's the last." While dribbling, Barria also spewed trash talk at Li Jie
"After tonight, you'll be swept away, and it's time for you to go home. The NBA is a men's game, not for a kid like you, not every Asian is Yao. ”
Hearing this, Li Jie frowned, then glared at Baria and said:
"You're such a clown today! Rest assured, I'll prove to you that today isn't my last playoff game and I'm going to knock you out. ”
"Delusional imp!"
The trash talk session is over, and the rest is to do it with real knives and guns.
Barria held the ball and went directly to the right side to break through, trying to break Li Jie with his speed.
But Li Jie had already predicted the direction the moment he started, and moved sideways one step in advance, blocking Barria's way.
When that failed, Barria made another move, quickly dribbling the ball from his right hand to his left hand, trying to break through on the left side.
And Li Jie also expected this, and quickly followed up with his feet, blocking Barria again, and from time to time using his long arms to interfere with the opponent's dribble.
"It's annoying!" Baria wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and cursed in his heart!
"Hehe, feel the charm of Grimm's Death-Twinched Badge?" Li Jie felt very refreshed.
Although Green has been known for his help defense throughout his career, his outside defense ability cannot be compared to players such as Holiday and Tony Allen. But he's won the best defensive player, and it's not more than enough to defend Barria.
Barria, who had been unable to break through, saw that the 24-second offensive time was up, so he could only hurriedly pass the ball to Kidd outside the three-point line, and he would finish it.
As a result, everyone understands, otherwise how could there be the title of "base not attack"!
didn't go in, the long rebound popped up, and was picked up by Li Jie, and he immediately advanced with the ball.
After half-time.
Li Jie pretended not to see Kobe Bryant's action of raising his hand to ask for the ball, and motioned for his golfer to pull away, and he also wanted to play alone.
Regarding Li Jie's move, Zhang Weiping in the commentary seat was very puzzled: "Xiao Li's ball is unreasonable, how can you be a newcomer, you should give the ball to Kobe." ”
Yu Jia: "He broke in......"
Facing Barria, Li Jie first made a feint to break to the left, and then quickly changed direction to the right.
However, Barria was not fooled and always clung to him.
"Hehe, don't play tricks, little ghost, you can't fool me!"
"Wait and see!"
Li Jie broke through to the right with the ball again, but after taking two steps, he immediately pulled the ball back, followed by another step back, and retreated outside the three-point line.
Originally, he wanted to learn from Harden and come to two step back, but think about it.
And Barria didn't know if he didn't stand up well, or the soles of his feet slipped, and after being manipulated by Li Jie, he directly lost his balance and sat on the ground.
The corners of Li Jie's mouth arced upward, and he glanced at him before making a move.
The ball draws a beautiful arc in the air, and with a bang, it goes into the net!
After confirming that the ball was scored, Li Jie shrugged, glanced at Barria again, and forced the pretending to the end!
At 71:101, the Lakers recovered three points.
There are 7 minutes and 40 seconds left until the end of the race!
Director Zhang, who just said that Li Jie's playing was unreasonable, immediately changed his words: "You said that Xiao Li, a young man, just play flowers, dare to throw at the critical moment, and enter, hehe!" ”
Yu Jia: "This goal is really beautiful, and the replay camera allows us to relive his iconic goal again!" ”
The teammates were also very happy, and kept high-fiveing Li Jie when they returned to the defense.
Ci Shiping also asked Li Jie excitedly while gesturing: "Li, how did you do that action, teach me in the future, it's so handsome!" ”
"Ron, it's a secret, and you're too old to use that action." Li Jie responded with a smile.
"Fxxk you, I'm not old at all."
This joyful breath came to an abrupt end when Kobe Bryant came to Li Jie, and everyone didn't dare to laugh when they saw Kobe's serious expression.
"Very nice shot, Lee, it was exactly what we needed!" Kobe Bryant took the initiative to reach out to Li Jie, "Keep playing like this, we will win." ”
After Li Jie and Kobe Bryant high-fived, he immediately yelled and said to the other teammates: "Very good, defeat them together, we can turn the tables!" ”
After saying that, he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, thinking: How could I say such a thing, the personality of this body is very introverted, is it not only the fusion of Green's technology, but also his personality that likes to pretend?
As for the calf's side, after being shaken down by Li Jie, although Barria was eager to find a hole to penetrate it, his professionalism made him not do it, but made a walking gesture to the referee in confusion, as if to say: "This ball, walk, right?" ”
But the referee didn't speak, and ran away with a three-point gesture.
