Start without the ball

Chapter 161 Serious Ferguson
In the Thunder locker room, Li Haoyu changed his clothes and followed his teammates to the court.

Audiences on both sides of the aisle stretched out their hands one after another, eager to high-five the new thunder star who performed fieryly.

"Fuck the Texans!"

"Rush rush!"

"Lee, we support you."

Li Haoyu gave a high-five to the fans with a smile on his face, stepped into the court and started shooting warm-ups.

After receiving the ball and passing the ball, he gently moved his wrist and shot~
boom!
After hitting the iron, Li Haoyu didn't take it seriously, took the basketball again and continued to shoot.

boom!
Iron again.

The next two shots still missed, and the audience on the sidelines had a bad feeling.

"Li is always very accurate when warming up, what's wrong today?"

"It's just a warm-up. As soon as the game starts, Lee will let the Texans know what cruelty is."

"Yeah, it's okay to warm up and strike the iron. Simmons didn't rush in when warming up. Was it useful?"

Li Haoyu frowned slightly, adjusted his breathing when he took the basketball again, and aimed at the basket with his wrist.

"Shu~"

The basketball went into the net hollow, and then Li Haoyu began to hit consecutively.

"It's getting better."

"That's right, this is our Li."

After the entrance ceremony, the players returned to the bench for final preparations.

Donovan said earnestly to Ferguson: "As long as you can restrain DeRozan in this game, we will win half of the game. Can we do it?"

In the last match, Ferguson was clearly arranged by DeRozan's offensive skills. Ferguson, who was eager for revenge, said seriously:

"Coach, I don't know if I can guard against it, but I will definitely do my best."

Seeing Ferguson's determined expression, Donovan felt relieved, Ferguson has been improving, he just lacks a battle of proof to build confidence.

The game started quickly, and the referee signaled the players to come on.

Li Haoyu walked to the Spurs bench, extended his hands and shook hands with Popovich.

Popovich smiled and said, "I'm here to take you away."

The old man was mischievous again, Li Haoyu responded with a slight smile, shook hands with Harmon, walked back to the court and waited for the game to start.

Spurs starters: center Aldridge, power forward Cunningham, small forward DeRozan, shooting guard Forbes, point guard White.

Thunder starters: center Adams, power forward Grant, small forward Ferguson, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

The referee threw the ball in the air, the game started, Aldridge picked the ball first, and the Spurs attacked.

White dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball step by step to Aldridge at the top of the arc.

Alder dribbles and runs 45 degrees to the left.

At the Thunder's pre-game combat meeting, the assistant coach mentioned the Spurs' tactic, and Ferguson kept it in mind.

DeRozan, who was 45 degrees to the left, immediately started running towards Adelaide. The Spurs center handed the ball to DeRozan, and when he was about to cover Ferguson, the Thunder small forward dexterously avoided it.

DeRozan came to the top of the arc and waited with the ball. Ferguson knew that Cunningham would come to the right to pick and roll next.

Sure enough, Cunningham came up, and Ferguson deftly avoided the pick-and-roll. Time was running out, and DeRozan had to attack by himself.

DeRozan dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and Ferguson took the initiative to release the left side and guard against the right side.

Since you look down on my left breakthrough?
Little Kobe felt despised, and accelerated to the left.

As long as he is free during this period, Ferguson will practice sliding, and his lateral movement speed is very fast now.

After two steps, Kobe Bryant did not shake off the defense, knowing that if he continued to break through, he would face the risk of being blocked, DeRozan immediately stopped and jumped up to make a mid-range shot.

Ferguson reacted quickly, stopped, and raised his long arms to pounce on DeRozan.

Little Kobe felt the pressure brought by Ferguson's long arms, exerted force on his waist, and leaned back even more.

But the distance between the two was too close, and DeRozan failed to avoid Ferguson's long arm and was blocked.

The basketball was slapped to the top of the arc by Ferguson. Li Haoyu smelled the fast break at 45 degrees to the left, accelerated to the top of the arc, picked up the basketball, and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Li Haoyu looked behind him. Forbes was slightly behind and was chasing. If the layup was in danger of being blocked, Li Haoyu stepped into the three-second zone and kicked off the ground, raising the ball with his right hand to dunk the basket.

"boom!"

0 to 2.
Back in the backcourt, Li Haoyu and Ferguson clapped their hands: "Bro, this defense is really good!"

Ferguson didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, Li Haoyu knew that he was serious and was in a state of excitement.

DeRozan was a little displeased at being blocked, he was careless just now.

At 45 degrees to the right, reaching for the ball to White, he wants to save face.

DeRozan dribbled the ball with his right hand, suddenly withdrew to the rear, bent his legs, gradually moved his left hand to the right, and looked up at the frame.

This is to shoot three points!

Ferguson immediately adjusted his center of gravity and rushed forward. DeRozan saw that Ferguson had been fooled, and accelerated to the basket.

Due to the opposite direction of movement of the two, Ferguson was thrown away, DeRozan rushed to the basket, and after jumping up, Grant with his left hand against the frame, layup with his right hand.

"shit!"

DeRozan swears, and he is blocked by Ferguson again!

Although Ferguson was thrown off before, he did not give up. He loves defense. He likes to watch the frustrated expression of his opponent when he is frozen, adjust his center of gravity, and turn around to chase DeRozan.

Ferguson jumped high and blocked DeRozan's layup from behind the baseline!
DeRozan was blocked consecutively!

The deflated little Kobe was a little puzzled, how could he possibly catch up to Ferguson after he had thrown off Ferguson.

Li Haoyu ran to Ferguson's side, and punched him hard in the chest: "You did well! You finally made a difference!"

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "Ferguson's pursuit is too fast. DeRozan has already eaten 2 hot pots since the start."

Yang Yi: "His physical talent is really good, his pursuit speed and take-off height are all top-notch."

Barrage.

"Is Ferguson awakened?"

"The false defensive champion took off the word false today."

"An outdated All-Star is not as good as a dog. DeRozan is really miserable."

"Fans in Sichuan Province expressed their envy to DeRozan. This is two hot pot meals."

"I apologize to Ferguson, it was useless to hack him before."

"I'm sorry Ferguson."

"I'm sorry Ferguson."

Off the court, Popovich jumped into a rage and requested a timeout. The game had just passed 36 seconds.

Old man Bobo is so self-willed, as long as he thinks something is not good, he will stop decisively. The old man yelled at DeRozan:
"If you can't score, will you score the ball? Do you have to lay up against Grant?"

DeRozan said helplessly: "I think that ball can be scored."

"Don't you think, I want me to think, this matter does not need to be discussed, divide the ball! Divide the ball! Divide the ball!"

　Thank you [Taeyeon my wife] for your reward.

　　Thank you [Xiaoyi] for your reward.
