Chapter 20

"Congratulations, Conley and Lee, you are finally scheduled to play, I think I can relax a bit." Gasol congratulated the two for being able to play in the game.

"No, I think you still can't relax, but they are not in the same position as you." Milicic hit Gasol mercilessly.

"Hahaha, thank you for your congratulations, the two of us can finally play, but you still can't relax." Li Tianshen made up the knife.

"No, you go on the court, with your three-pointers and Conley's go-betweens, the pressure on the inside will be much easier."

"It's finally easier, Conley, I'm optimistic about you." Lowry and Conley are in a competitive relationship, but Lowry is not strong yet, and he is very self-aware.

"Lowry, you are right. But Paul, I feel that you are more suitable as a head coach than a rookie coach." Conley's words filled the entire locker room with laughter, and the cloudy locker room finally had a little life.

Seeing that people are still complaining.

"Ahem." Li Tian, ​​who was in the locker room near the door, saw the coach coming in, and coughed a few times to remind everyone.

"Coach." The locker room was silent for a moment, and everyone started to organize their equipment.

Seeing the sudden silence in the locker room, Mark didn't feel embarrassed at all. As an assistant coach, he has experienced it countless times.

"Hi everyone, today I announced a news that Conley and Li Tian will also be put into the active lineup. I hope everyone will play well and win this game." The news was announced. I thought it would be welcomed by everyone, but all the players Neither said anything.

"Coach, we will perform well and strive to contribute to the team." Only Conley and Li Tian expressed their determination.

After receiving the news that Li Tian might be scheduled to play.

China has also begun to try to broadcast a Grizzlies game live. Li Tian once attracted the attention of many people, especially after his phenomenal performance in the NCAA.

"I don't know if Li Tian will play today." Yu Jia said.

"Let's analyze it. The last two games of the Grizzlies were all due to the team's final collapse because the bench was too weak. The first game was the Demon Sword, and the second game was the Pacers who were all soldiers. If the coach wants to change the status quo, the best way is to make adjustments to the bench. In these two games, the No. 4 rookie of the Grizzlies and Li Tian did not play. The best way for the Grizzlies to change is to bring up the rookie , On the one hand, it is to test the rookie's strength, and on the other hand, it can also stimulate the substitute players." Zhang Weiping's long analysis.

"Yes, I am also looking forward to whether Li Tian will perform as well as he did in the preseason." Yu Jia has always been concerned about Li Tian's performance.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams played very anxiously, and the point difference was always within 5 points. The Grizzlies ended the first quarter with a 3-point lead.

"Hey, Li Tian and Conley still didn't have a chance to play. Gay performed very well in the first quarter." Yu Jia sighed.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Gay missed two shots at the start, but Durant, who was defended by him, succeeded in two consecutive singles against Gay.

Seattle went ahead and overtook the score.

Mark was very dissatisfied with Guy's defensive attitude.

"Conley, Li, you are ready to play." Mark hopes that if Li Tian can perform in the preseason, he will successfully complete the task he entrusted to Li Tian.

"Conley, you have to do a good job of sorting out your offense; Lee, your main purpose is to lock Durant, I know you and him are old opponents, your current situation is caused by him, lock him, this is My only request is also the standard for whether you can get a chance to play in the next game."

Mark used Durant to stimulate Li Tian.

"Coach, I will not miss this opportunity." Li Tian was full of confidence.

"Director Zhang, Li Tian is starting to warm up." Yu Jia said happily.

"Yes, Li Tian finally got the chance to play. It seems that the head coach of the Grizzlies can still do it. If it were my first game, Li Tian would be allowed to play." Zhang Weiping was also very happy. He didn't diss Mark, but just complained. There was a wave.

"Li, do you need my help?" Conley asked Li Tian during the warm-up.

"Hahaha, no special help is needed, your pass is very accurate, just like the preseason game." Li Tian replied to Conley.

The two were substituted, and Lowry high-fived each other to encourage each other.

"Li, I know your grievances, we will help you, the premise is that you have to guard against him, come on, boy." Gasol saw Li Tian's nervousness, and stepped forward to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's just a little nervous for the first time."

"Barkley, look, that kid from China is here." Kenny looked at Barkley teasingly.

"Yes, I like him very much. I have always been. Even when there is an injury, I am very optimistic about him. I have followed his preseason. I don't know why his offensive methods are gone after the injury. But I think his defense is very strong." Barkley has not been paying attention to Li Tian for a day or two, and he clearly understands Li Tian's current situation.

"So you like Li very much?"

"Yes, I am very optimistic about him. I don't know how his offense is, but his defense must be better than Durant. Durant will be locked by him." Barkley firmly believes.

"Haha, by the way, his injury was caused by Durant."

"Yes, this is a battle of revenge, and I look forward to his performance even more."

Back on the court, Conley launched an offense with the ball.

Seattle's lineup is very high. Conley discovered this problem, and the first offense called Li Tian to pick and roll for him.

Li Tian raised the high position from the weak side and helped Conley block Wilkins who followed behind.

Conley suddenly accelerated and went straight to the basket.

Durant, who was defending Li Tian, ​​accelerated towards the basket, preparing to force Conley to stop. At this time, Durant was still very weak, and the defense was not threatening.

Wilkins followed suit.

Li Tian reversed and pulled down beyond the three-point line.

Conley saw Durant, who was defending Li Tian, ​​double-team him, realized that Li Tian would be open, turned his head suddenly, and saw Li Tian retreating to the three-point line.

The moment Durant made up his defense, he hit the ground and passed the ball directly from Durant's crotch to Li Tian.

"Wow, this Grizzlies guard is amazing, it seems that he and Lee must have a good relationship."

"That's for sure, you don't even look at who he passed the ball to, and whose crotch it passed from." Kenny did not forget to despise Barkley.

Buckley didn't care about Kenny's disdain at all.

Li Tian, ​​who received the pass from Conley, took off without making any adjustments at all.

Raise your hand!

Wrestling!

Three-point shot!

"Wow, Li Tian's shot is faster than in the preseason. I don't know if this ball can be scored. This is the first shot in his career." Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly.

Yu Jia, who was sitting by the side, stared straight at him. This old man is just so forgetful.

Yu Jia was also infected by Director Zhang, "Yes, it's too fast. I remember that Ah Lian's shooting speed has also increased a lot."

"Hey, I know why." Zhang Weiping sold a lawsuit.

"Director Zhang, tell me quickly, what is the reason?" Yu Jia couldn't wait.

"I heard from Yao Ming that when the two of them were selected for the NBA, they had been training together."

Yu Jia didn't have time to think about it: "Wow, that's great, the ball is close, and a three-pointer is scored. This is the first time Li Tian scored in his career."

On the other hand, Zhang Weiping was a little calmer.

The basketball hit the net hollow and hit a three-pointer.

"That's great, Li." Conley and Li Tian bumped their chests in celebration.

Just when Gasol was about to reach out and pat his head, he found that Li Tian had changed his hairstyle.

He suddenly patted Li Tian's butt to celebrate.

"I still haven't escaped." Li Tian couldn't help complaining.
