Start without the ball

Chapter 152 Playing Chess
The Thunder bench, Bayer knows that if Li Haoyu is frozen, the Thunder will struggle. Donovan is also aware of this, but the conservative Donovan will not call a timeout easily. At this time, Bayer will remind the top head coach .

"Lee is in trouble, and he needs your help."

Donovan: "Wait, it's too early."

Bayer: "The score will be opened soon, Brother Wan, Li Haoyu is still young, and he can't cope with Kawhi's level of defense. You have to give him time to adjust, he needs help."

On the field, Leonard pushed back Ferguson and hit a mid-range shot. The score came to 10-7, and Donovan called a timeout.

Li Haoyu returned to the bench with a livid face, without saying a word, he was meditating, the sense of oppression brought by Leonard made it difficult for him to move forward.

Felton sat beside Li Haoyu:

"Li, don't worry, he has honed in this league for a long time before he has the ability he has today."

Li Haoyu: "I understand the truth, but if we can't find a way to break the game, we will lose this game very ugly. This is Pisacek! 2 spectators behind me are watching me, not to mention the tens of thousands of people in Huaguo Wan support my fans, I have to show my best side!"

Donovan was also in a hurry: "Lee, let me rearrange some new tactics for you."

Li Haoyu looked up at Donovan and said, "Coach, the distance that can be opened with the help of cover is limited after all. My shooting speed is still too slow. He can interfere with me in time. It is meaningless to force a shot."

In this game, Westbrook also came to the scene to watch the game. Seeing that his teammates were in trouble, he got up and walked to Li Haoyu, put his arms around his shoulders and said:

"I believe you, no matter what his kawaii is, as long as you dare to challenge, nothing can stop you! Fuck him!

Your long-standing style of play is to get rid of the defender and complete the attack, but this head-to-head contest does not allow you to do so. You have to challenge him face to face, right here! "

Li Haoyu is very grateful to Westbrook for encouraging himself. His words are indeed reasonable. The shackles without the ball restrict him. It is too comfortable to shoot without pressure after throwing off the defender. If it is thrown away, it will be in place in time to cause interference when shooting. In this case, it is difficult to guarantee the hit rate.

But challenge Leonard face-to-face with the ball as Westbrook said?This is crazy!

Seeing that Li Haoyu was thinking, Wei Shao decided to add another fire:
"Go up and do it and you're done. Challenge the superstars face to face. This is the only way you have to go!"

"The only way?"

Li Haoyu suddenly thought of something, and immediately called his teammates over to discuss together.

On the other side, on the Raptors' bench, Leonard didn't say a word. Only he knew how terrifying Li Haoyu's off-ball running was. The two perfect escapes forced Leonard to use his full potential to meet the challenge. Li Haoyu forced out a stronger self, he enjoyed this kind of duel, but after the two attacks, Li Haoyu was a little silent, Leonard didn't want the duel to end like this.

Looking at the Thunder's bench, and seeing Li Haoyu discussing with his teammates, the corners of Leonard's cold mouth rose slightly.

Lowry: "What are you laughing at?"

Leonard: "That kid from Huaguo is a bit interesting."

The timeout ended quickly, and the Thunder had the ball.

After Li Haoyu came on the field, he was outside the left sideline. Leonard defended inside the line, and he was a little curious about what he was going to do.

Adams, Grant, Ferguson came to the left bottom corner.

Seeing that his teammates were in position, Li Haoyu accelerated towards the bottom corner, and the three of Thunder immediately formed a shooting pocket in the left bottom corner.

Li Haoyu entered the pocket from the outside, and Schroeder's pass was just right.

Leonard was slightly behind, bypassing Adams, and pounced on Li Haoyu.

"he came!"

Ferguson reminded that Li Haoyu stopped his shooting action, paused for a while, and kicked off the ground.

At this time Leonard knew that things were bad, but in order to arrive in time, Leonard's impact speed was very fast, and he had no time to adjust, and hit Li Haoyu after the jump.

"drop!"

The referee blew the whistle, and Li Haoyu wanted to adjust his body shape and then shoot, but Leonard's collision this time was really serious, so he could only throw the ball to the basket based on his feeling.

"Shu~"

The basketball is hollow into the net! ! !Three points are valid and a free throw is added at the same time! ! !
TNT commentary seats.

Albert: "Holy shit! Lee immediately responded with a three-plus-one after returning from the timeout. He seems to have found an offensive rhythm."

Miller: "The pocket tactics of the Thunder's bottom corner are well known to everyone. They cannot enter the pocket from the front or side. Leonard can only go around Adams and rush into the pocket from the back. He didn't expect Li Haoyu, who had his back turned to him, to enter the pocket. Make a shot fake, this tactic is not to make Lee shoot, but to draw a foul!"

Li Haoyu walked to the free throw line calmly, changing his sad face when he was oppressed by the defense.

Adjust your breathing and then shoot the ball.

"Shu~"

Additional penalty hits, the score came to 10 to 11.

The Raptors attacked, Lowry came to the frontcourt, and called Siakam to step forward to pick and roll, Schroeder was blocked, Lowry rushed to the basket and made a layup.

Lowry made the mistake of thinking Grant was far enough away.

Grant sped to the rim, jumped high, pinned Lowry's layup on the backboard, and took the ball.

Thunder attack.

Schroder came to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Li Haoyu, who was two steps away from the three-point line on the left, and then ran to the left corner to open up space.

Although this was in the sweet spot, Li Haoyu didn't intend to take a super long three-pointer rashly. He clamped the ball to his side and directed both Adams and Grant to the right.

Miller: "What is Lee doing! Both insiders went to the other side, how could he single-handedly hit Leonard with the ball without a screen!"

Albert: "It seems that the three plus one just now made Huaguo kid dizzy."

Leonard observed that the two insiders walked away. It seemed that Li Haoyu was about to hold the ball for a decisive battle, and his eyes were fixed on this Huaguo kid.

Li Haoyu began to dribble, but he was still two steps away. Leonard did not act rashly. He was waiting, waiting for Li Haoyu to enter the attacking distance.

In an instant, Li Haoyu moved, kicked the ground hard, and dribbled to the right.

Leonard immediately slid, and just as he was about to block Li Haoyu's way, Li Haoyu turned to his left hand in front of his body and continued to rush forward.

Li Haoyu's change of direction was sudden, but Leonard still had time to react, and immediately adjusted his center of gravity and rushed to the right.

At this moment, Leonard suddenly bumped into something.

"Drip~"

The whistle sounded, and Leonard looked at the referee.

The referee signaled Leonard for a defensive foul!

What is this!
The dazed Leonard saw Li Haoyu with a sly smile and understood that all this was a trap set by Li Haoyu early on!
Albert: "What the hell happened?"

Miller: "Li Haoyu played a very big game of chess. After receiving the basketball at a safe distance of 45 degrees and two steps away from the left, he directed the two insiders who could serve as screens to go to the other side and gave Leon Nader has the illusion that he is about to play singles with the ball when he opens his posture.
From two steps away, he rushed Leonard's right, then changed direction and forced Leonard to accelerate and slide to the left. From beginning to end, Leonard ignored one person. "

Albert: "You mean Schroeder?"

Miller: "Yes, Schroeder came to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Li Haoyu, and then silently sank in the bottom corner. When Leonard accelerated and slid to the left, he had already stood quietly. On Leonard's only way, the power of Leonard's impact easily knocked the weak Schroeder 1 meter away. He would not have thought that Schroeder would overreach himself as a cover. This kind of collision The effect was enough to give the referee a reason to blow his whistle."

Albert: "In addition to the previous foul, Li Haoyu's carefully arranged tactics made Leonard fall into the quagmire of fouls. His golf intelligence is really terrifying."
