The tactics class ended the next morning.

Li Lei was left by the team's defensive coach to practice his defensive steps alone.

This was specially arranged by Pat Riley.

Half an hour later, the training was over.

Li Lei walked to the locker room and suddenly felt a little strange.

At this time of the day, everyone was chatting and frolicking in the locker room, and there was a lot of movement.

But today, Li Lei didn't hear any sound.

When he pushed open the door, he found everyone gathered around and old Jones whispering something.

Seeing Li Lei coming in, everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Li Lei felt strange and asked everyone, but no one answered him, and they all changed the topic for various reasons.

Ghosts!

Li Lei was unwilling and blocked Haslem in the shower, but this guy would rather pick up soap than tell the truth.

Li Lei went to find Wang Zhizhi again, but this guy directly pretended to be a stuffy gourd.

……

January 7th.

American Airlines Center Arena.

The Bulls looked a little miserable.

On the bench sat a row of players in suits, led by the retired "Piet" Scottie Pippen.

Starting center Eddie Curry and backup center Tyson Chandler...... Also among them.

This season's Bulls have also been a lot of troubles, with only five players making more than 55 appearances this season.

It's really hard to put together a set of crooked starting lineups.

Center: 35-year-old Antonio Davis.

Power forward: 31-year-old Jerome Williams.

Small forward: 35-year-old Kendall Gill.

Shooting guard: Crawford.

Defender: Kirk Hinrich, the No. 7 pick of the year.

Heat: Cato, Odom, Li Lei, Jones, Alston.

Didi!

The game begins.

Jumping the ball, Cato pressed Davis to turn the ball back into his own half.

Alston advances with the ball.

When you get to the front, give it directly to ...... Li lei.

Li Lei: "......"

Li Lei looked at Kendall, who was half a head shorter than him in front of him.

Kendall is actually a shooting guard, a few laps smaller than Li Lei.

Li Lei didn't say anything, started directly, and with a little force, he squeezed through.

Li Lei easily rushed to the middle distance.

The Bulls' interior defense is also slow, with Davis and Williams still standing under the basket.

Li Lei threw a throw.

Swish!

2：0。

The Bulls attack.

Crawford dribbled past Jones from behind, got to the basket and rose to the ground.

But Cato was under the basket and waited for the rabbit, giving Crawford a great distraction.

Crawford shot wide.

Bang dang!

Odom picked up the rebound.

After receiving the rebound, Odom quickly counterattacked with the ball himself.

The Bulls didn't bother with anyone, just watched Odom go to the frontcourt unimpeded.

Rookie Hinrich was quite aggressive, pounced on Odom.

Odom made a false move, then passed the ball without looking at people, gave the ball to Li Lei, who followed up, and then blocked Hinrich with his body.

Li Lei hesitated for a moment: Odom can play this ball by himself!

How could Hinrich be able to hold off Odom?

didn't have time to think about it, Li Lei stood up from the ground, held the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket.

Bang!

4：0。

The Bulls attack.

Davis hard to eat Cato in the low post, the result is ...... I can't afford it!

Once an All-Star center, it's too old now.

Davis wanted to pass again, but was intercepted by Jones halfway.

The Heat went on another fast break.

Old Jones stood up to the thin Crawford, still didn't fight, and passed it to Li Lei, who was keeping up.

Li Lei smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Bang!

6:0, Li Lei swept all 6 points of the opening game of the Heat.

The American Airlines Center was full of jubilation.

They can see that the whole Heat team is scoring points for Li Lei.

Li Lei naturally saw it.

He finally understood what the whole team was doing in the locker room with him on their backs in the morning.

These goddamn cuties!

Li Lei's heart was warm and he looked at Coach Dafan on the sidelines.

Da Fan clasped his hands to his chest and nodded slightly.

Spoelstra next to him was also smiling.

It turned out that Li Lei himself didn't know.

Also, to brush up on teammates, how can this kind of thing not be reported to the manager.

The Bulls attacked, and Crawford hit a mid-range shot from a drift.

6：2。

This season, the Bulls drafted Kirk Hinrich.

Hinrich played playmaking guard, and Crawford was pushed to the point guard position.

This small adjustment made Crawford like a fish in water, and the scoring data skyrocketed.

This guy has shown a great ability to score.

However, his shortcomings are also more obvious, Crawford is too thin, weak against the opponent, and the defense of the second position is even more inadequate.

The Heat attack.

Alston silently did the work of a tool man, dribbled the ball over half the court, and handed the ball to Li Lei.

Now that he knows the meaning of the whole team, Li Lei no longer hesitates.

A false flicker, Li Lei started directly.

Kendall thought for a moment, and didn't defend seriously at all, so he let Li Lei squeeze through.

Li Lei is another throw.

Swish!

8：2。

"8 points!"

Su Qun on the sidelines looked excited, holding a small notebook to record.

The coach of the Bulls was furious, and of course he could see that the opponent was scoring, but the biggest problem was the Bulls' own defense.

Frequent injuries, constant trades, back-to-back losses...... has already knocked out the morale of this Bulls team.

Except for a few newcomers who are still willing to fight, everyone else is passable, and the mix is a game.

"You bastards, what about your defenses? Show your momentum! Otherwise, roll me back to the bench. ”

Back on it, Hinrich hit a three-pointer.

8：5。

The Heat attack.

Li Lei took the ball, and Kendall finally got a little more serious, lowered his center of gravity, and blocked Li Lei.

However, Odom stepped up at the right time to block the pick-and-roll, and Jerome Williams was not decisive in the switch.

Li Lei shot directly outside the three-point line.

Swish!

And also.

11：5。

Li Lei scored 11 points in a row.

"Kirk, you're going to defend that 15!"

The Bulls head coach yelled.

"Yes, sir!"

Hinrich is still serious, he is a rookie after all, and he takes every opportunity to perform.

And Hinrich is already good at defense, and his performance on the defensive end is remarkable.

The Bulls attack.

Crawford broke through and Kendall hit a long two-pointer.

11：7。

Heat possession.

Alston continued to pass the ball to Li Lei.

Xin Liqi pounced directly, sticking to Li Lei like kraft candy.

Odom came up again to block the pick-and-roll.

Hinrich had already prepared, squeezed past Odom, and continued to defend Li Lei closely.

Li Lei saw that there was no chance, so he decisively passed the ball to Odom.

Attacking with the ball is still Li Lei's shortcoming.

Li Lei knows his shortcomings, and there is no need to use his weaknesses to collide with the opponent's strengths, which is self-inflicted.

Odom took the ball and played on his own, breaking through Jerome Williams and scoring to the basket.

Davis pounced on the defense.

Odom splits the ball to the unguarded Cato,

Cato clasped his hands heavily.

Bang!

13：7。

This Bulls team is really full of holes and a useless defense.
