Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 52
Beautiful country local time on December 2007, 12.

The Grizzlies are a guest in Houston to challenge Mosaic.

"Li, I feel that you are very excited today. Apart from Paul, is there anything else that can make you excited?" Conley, who had already lost interest in the game, could only liven up the atmosphere in the locker room.

"Conley, I'll give you a chance to say it again." Gasol gritted his teeth and looked at Conley.

"Paul, just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry." Conley counseled immediately.

Conley didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of at all. Counseling quickly is not ashamed. What's shameful is that if you still want to coax after being beaten, it's not as good as being single in advance.

Looking at Gasol burning with anger.

"Conley, your choice is very wise." Li Tian applauded Conley's choice.

"Li, it's all because of you. I was implicated. It's really wronged." Gasol was full of grievances.

"Paul, what does it have to do with me?" Li Tian was puzzled.

"Is it you who said I was wrong last time? Every time a beautiful woman hands you a note at the end of the game, you don't pick up the connection, right?" Gasol spit all over his mouth.

"It's all me. Does it have anything to do with you being implicated?" Li Tian likes beautiful women, but he still has the conservativeness of a Celestial Dynasty person, and he won't mess around casually.

"Because of these, they think you like a man, and that man is me. Do you think I am wronged?"

Li Tian was stunned.
Look up at the ceiling.

Wang Tiansan asked: Am I on the earth now?who are they?What are they doing?What kind of logic are these people.

"Conley, it seems that I need to show you the ghosts of Memphis at three o'clock in the morning during the home game." Once, in order to retaliate against Paul, several people ate half a month's salary for a meal, at around three o'clock in the morning, Frantically called a few people and told them to go to training.

"Li, I was wrong, you can't call me at three o'clock in the morning, it's terrible."

Several people quickly gave in, and in retrospect, they all felt terrible.

It's three o'clock in the morning, and Memphis is the place to be with nothing but ghosts.

"Squeak" Mark pushed the door and entered.

Everyone stopped making noise.

"There is only one goal today, which is to win this game." Mark paused when no one responded to his words. "Conley, you still don't have time to play today, keep learning."

"Understood, coach." Conley replied weakly.

If you carefully observe Conley's expression now, it's not hard to see that Conley at this moment is like a volcano that is about to erupt. It seems that the clouds are calm, but in fact it is already ready to go, just a little bit of a spark.

Conley's voice was cold, and everyone felt Conley's disappointment.

Mark didn't even look at Conley, and continued to say, "Paul and Milicic, you two must lock up Yao Ming and limit Mosaic's inside line. Li, you pinch McGrady, and we can securely win this game."

The three people who were called were suddenly dumbfounded.

The three looked at each other, nodded to each other without saying anything.

"Play hard today and win this game." Mark's one-man show.

Before the game started, Li Tian approached Gasol and Milicic.

"Paul, what do you think Mark is going to do? Does he regard us as gods?" Li Tian is not unconfident, but rather confused.

"Don't talk about you, I don't even understand. Where does Mark get the confidence? We can lock Yao Ming and McGrady." Gasol himself didn't believe in himself, and he also didn't think he and Milicic could lock up. Yao Ming.

"Anyway, I don't think I can do it. Yao is a monster. Lock him up. Mark is dreaming." Milicic thinks this is a fantasy.

"Just be content with the two of you. I'm playing against McGrady alone. Have you considered my feelings?" Li Tian was crying. He really didn't read the almanac when he went out.

"Okay, I admit, it's still difficult for you, Paul, I suddenly feel that we are not so difficult, try hard, and there is still a little hope, look at Li, do you still feel pain?" Milicic snapped Pat Gasol on the shoulder.

"Hearing what you said, I feel a lot better." After speaking, the two left with a smile.

Li Tian was alone, standing in the player tunnel blankly.

This teammate, what's the use of asking for it.

"Let's go, Li, you have to lock up McGrady in a while, come on, look after you." Lowry made a gesture of cheering.

"Lowry, don't run." Li Tian hurried to catch up with Lowry.

"Li, I feel a little sympathetic to you. Lock up McGrady. Mark thinks too much of you."

Li Tian looked at Lowry with contempt.

Teammates came over one after another to cheer for Li Tian.

"Friends from the audience, hello everyone, today's live broadcast for you is that the Memphis Grizzlies challenged the Houston Mosaic team away. In this game, each team has a Chinese player, namely No. 0 Li Tian of the Grizzlies And Yao Ming of the Mosaic team." Before the game started, Zhang Weiping began to introduce the situation of the two teams.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Li Tian's recent performance? It seems that he is not very stable. Can you give us a detailed analysis?" Yu Jia helped the fans ask the questions they wanted to ask.

"The head coach of the Grizzlies team where Li Tian belongs is a rookie coach with little coaching experience, and the arrangement and training of players is much worse. Recently, Li Tian's playing time is not stable, and his position on the court is also different. It is normal for his performance to be unstable. , It will be much better if you play stably in the future." Director Zhang carefully analyzed the reasons for Li Tian's unstable performance.

"Yes, without a stable playing time, it is difficult to play efficient cooperation. Li Tian successfully restricted McGrady in the last game. Does Li Tian have a chance to guard McGrady in this game?" Yu Jia waited for Director Zhang's answer.

"It's hard." Zhang Weiping said two words with difficulty.

"The game is about to start."

Although Li Tian was arranged by Mark to defend McGrady, he continued to be on the bench today.

Neither team's starting lineup has changed much.

Milicic beat Yao Ming with a jump ball, Stoudemire got the player and assisted Gay to hit a three-pointer.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies had the advantage on the field and kept suppressing Mosaic.

At the end of the first quarter, Gay was intercepted by McGrady.

Bunch Wells received an assist from McGrady and scored a layup, and the Mosaic team overtook the score.

Immediately after Gay missed a shot, McGrady grabbed the rebound and assisted Alston to hit a three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams came to 20-24, and the Grizzlies trailed the Mosaics by 4 points.

"What did McGrady play? His hips were too stretched. He missed shots and made mistakes. Gasol's performance this year was not good. He only scored 4 points in 1 of 2 shots. McGrady's shooting percentage was also very low, just because he felt bad. The reason is that Gay did not form an effective defense against McGrady at all." Zhang Weiping said.

"Li Tian hasn't played yet. I don't know when the head coach of the Grizzlies will arrange for Li Tian to play. Gay's poor performance makes him more and more looking forward to Li Tian's next performance." Yu Jia is looking forward to Li Tian play.

"Haha, Yu Jia, what are you really thinking about? Li Tian has already started warming up on the sidelines." Director Zhang became excited.

"Finally see Brother Tian coming on stage, looking forward to it."

"It's tangled, whether to support Li Tian or McGrady, really tangled."

Li Tian knew that McGrady didn't feel good today, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest. A star of McGrady's level would find his grip at any time.

"Li, you are not happy with the Grizzlies, do you want to come to Mosaic?" McGrady chatted with Li Tian while dribbling the ball.

"Hey, McGrady, you can't do this. Shouldn't you be talking trash? No one invites others to join on the field. Why don't you let me get a cap? I'll think about it; or how about you come to the Grizzlies?" Li Tian suddenly There is a very funny feeling, the two people who are in a competitive relationship don't talk trash on the court, and they even win each other.

"Not much to say, it's time to start shooting, are you still guarding me?" McGrady suddenly became serious.

"Come on, I won't give you a chance to make a phone call." This is what it should be like.

McGrady suddenly accelerated the dribble under the crotch at the top of the arc, knowing that he didn't feel good, and planned to change his strategy.

The breakthrough also attracted Gasol from the basket to come over to defend at any time, and Li Tian defended closely to prevent McGrady from having a chance to break through.

Continuous fake moves failed to get rid of Li Tian's defense.

Just as the time was approaching, Li Tian thought that McGrady would definitely make a forced shot. At this moment, McGrady directly passed the ball back to Alston who was standing near the three-point line.

Alston accelerated directly, got rid of Lowry who was following him, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

Seeing that Alston made a shot, he was tricked by McGrady. McGrady didn't plan to layup at all, but planned to pass the ball from the beginning.

"Too young, still need to practice, Yao, don't you think so?" McGrady looked at Yao Ming.

Li Tian stared straight at McGrady.

"Lowry, we're going to fight back." Hit Lowry beside him with his shoulder.

"bring it on."

Lowry holds the ball, Battier is defending Li Tian directly, and McGrady is not far from Li Tian, ​​and he can defend him at any time.

Trying to break through Alston head-on, Lowry has never been good at speed, he is a power player.

Li Tian stepped forward and blocked Alston, Lowry passed Alston, and Milicic failed to block Yao Ming at the basket.

Can only pass back to Li Tian, ​​just about to catch the ball.

Just as the ball was about to fall into Li Tian's hands, McGrady rushed over and directly intercepted the pass.

Li Tian was stunned, McGrady wanted to put all his energy on defense.

He defended Gay 8-of-2. He didn't feel good, so the defense came together.

Li Tian, ​​who was full of confidence, played one attack and one defense, but was completely defeated by McGrady.

McGrady dunked and scored, and glanced at Li Tian after landing.

Alston blocked Li Tian, ​​but failed to catch up with McGrady.

In the entire second quarter, Li Tian only got 3 shots and scored three points.

McGrady intercepted two passes in a row. The Grizzlies have no players who can attract defense, especially the bench. They originally needed others to create opportunities for him, but now they need Li Tian to create opportunities for them.

"It's too difficult for me. My weakness is obviously magnified. In the starting lineup, Paul can help attract defense. The bench is really perfect." Li Tian was very helpless.

Throughout the second quarter, when Li Tian and McGrady faced each other, they were being taught to be human.

McGrady, who doesn't feel good, constantly uses his own threat to attract defenses, assists teammates, and continuously assists teammates under Li Tian's defense.

Let Li Tian's strong defense completely hit the cotton.

Mosaic couldn't catch up with Li Tian, ​​but McGrady cut off the connection between Lowry and Li Tian.

Steals a few passes from Lowry and makes several fast breaks.

At the end of the second quarter, the Mosaic team led the Grizzlies by 15 points.
