Start without the ball

Chapter 163 Adelaide
DeRozan had a rough start today. It's okay to be blocked twice by Ferguson. It's normal for the old man to reprimand him a few times. He really didn't expect that he would end in less than 2 minutes.

Becky Harmon looked at the upset DeRozan and asked, "Didn't I mention that Lee would use this trick in the combat meeting? Why don't you be careful."

DeRozan said helplessly: "Who would have thought that he was here to make a foul. Standing next to me, I thought he was going to pick and roll. He is so cunning."

Seeing Li Haoyu's outstanding performance, Harmon was quite moved. During the summer league, she saw Li Haoyu's potential and would become a good player, but she did not expect to grow to such a terrifying height.

On the field, the Thunder served the ball from the sideline, and the basketball reached Li Haoyu, who was one step away from the top of the arc.

Facing Forbes, Li Haoyu began to dribble, but Forbes was afraid of Li Haoyu's foul-making ability and did not apply pressure.

Seeing that Forbes on the three-point line did not move, Li Haoyu immediately stopped the ball, bent his legs and jumped up.

Now that the ball was stopped, Li Haoyu had no chance of breaking through, and Forbes immediately stepped forward to apply pressure.

The moment Forbes stepped forward, Li Haoyu passed the ball to Ferguson, who was 45 degrees to the left, and then cut to the basket. Forbes rushed forward and was already one step behind. When he adjusted his focus and chased, he was blocked by Adams from the free throw line .

Getting rid of the defense, Li Haoyu cut into the three-second zone.

When Ferguson was about to pass, Belinelli, who replaced DeRozan, interfered with Ferguson. Under pressure, Ferguson failed to pass the basketball immediately.

Belinelli's interference helped Adelaide buy time. When Li Haoyu received the ball, Adelaide had already stuck to Li Haoyu's side and raised his hands high.

The height gap was too large, and Adelaide thought that Li Haoyu would give up. When the basketball came out to reorganize the attack, Li Haoyu quickly stretched the ball out of Adelaide's armpit and shot the basket.

Ade looked back at the basket, and when he was about to slap Li Haoyu's basket out, he didn't even see the basketball!

"shit!"

Ade, who knew that something was wrong, turned his head to face Li Haoyu again, but it was too late. Li Haoyu took the basketball and shot with his wrist.

"Shu~"

Two points hit, 4 to 6.

TNT commentary seats.

Barkley: "The cunning Chinese man, when he picked the ball under Alder's armpit, he didn't pick the ball to the basket, but picked it back into his hands. The Spurs center looked back at the frame, but the basketball had returned to Lee's hands. Ah Germany was fooled!"

O'Neill: "This can arrange a five big embarrassment for Adelaide."

Barkley: "It must be arranged!"

The Spurs attacked, White dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, commanded his teammates to open the space, and passed the ball to Aldridge in the low post.

Adelaide held the basketball firmly, dribbled the ball and took a step forward, Adams had the upper hand, but Adelaide did not make a push.

At this time, Adelaide dribbled to the bottom line, Adams adjusted his footsteps and followed, Adelaide turned to the line again, and made a mid-range shot.

Adelaide has successfully got rid of Adams by relying on his footsteps, and this shot is almost sure.

Just when Adelaide thought he had scored 2 points, he was blocked!
The person who blocked it was Li Haoyu!

When Ade turned to the bottom line, Li Haoyu, who was at 45 degrees on the right, had already guessed that he was going to do this set of moves, and decisively let go of his defender and rushed to the low post on the left. Li Haoyu, who rushed at less than 45 degrees from the right.

Just when Ade turned to the line and made a mid-range shot, Li Haoyu rushed over and blocked Ade from behind!

Ke Fan: "Brother Yuzi worked very hard today, he seldom participates in defense so actively"

Yang Yi: "After Li Haoyu fouled DeRozan, he pointed the finger at Aldridge again. He caused trouble for both Spurs stars!"

Barrage.

"To be reasonable, watching Ferguson's defense is just for fun. If you really want to learn skills, you have to watch my Yuzi brother. Look how good the opportunity is to find this defense."

"Upstairs, Brother Yu is really not good at defensive skills. This block mainly depends on consciousness."

"Isolate the honest man upstairs."

"Ade was teased by Brother Yuzi just now, and he was blocked again. What a miserable word."

"With all due respect, Brother Yu's performance has blown away the two stars of the Spurs."

"I think Yu Zige is in the Spurs in the summer league, right? Seeing Yu Zige solo kill two stars in the team, the Spurs manager's intestines are regretful."

"There was once a strong player in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I didn't regret it until I lost it. The most painful thing in the league is this.

If God can give me another chance to do it again,

I will say three words to that player - "Come to the Spurs"

If I have to add a number of years to this contract, I hope it will be three years! --- By Spurs manager Buford. "

In the next game, the Spurs lost DeRozan's offensive starting point and could only rely on Adelaide and the team to launch the offense. However, the Thunder relied on their home court advantage. The players defended very hard and did a very good defensive rotation. The Spurs Scoring was very difficult. At 2 minutes and 45 seconds, the score came to 17 to 27 points, and the Thunder led by as much as 10 points.

Entering the transition period, the two sides deployed a rotation lineup. Relying on the excellent performance of Morris and Noelle, the Thunder continued to expand their advantage. At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 36 to 21, and the Thunder led by 15 points.

Popovich was very troubled. The Spurs had no way to take advantage of Li Haoyu's attack. He also tried to double-team Li Haoyu, but the Thunder guard could always pass the ball to the most threatening place.

Li Haoyu scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter. If no changes were made, Li Haoyu's score would be 40 points.

He misses Leonard a little now. If he defends Li Haoyu, the No. 7 Thunder will definitely not have the performance he has now.

Or maybe Buford was able to follow Harmon's suggestion to keep Li Haoyu. If he had Li Haoyu's super off-ball ability, he would be able to match his own tactical system like a fish in water.

If Leonard and Li Haoyu are both in the team, then they can go for the championship. How can they struggle to reach the threshold of the playoffs like they are now? After much deliberation, Buford has to bear the blame no matter what.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neal: "The Spurs are really good. Now they are being hanged up and played by Li Haoyu. You see, DeRozan and Aldridge are not as good as a single-core rookie.

I heard that Harmon wanted to keep Lee very much, but Buford only wanted to offer a two-way contract. "

Barkley: "The Spurs have too many guards, not to mention the existence of Belinelli. It is normal for Buford to offer a two-way contract."

O'Neill: "Look at the No. [-] pick in the draft, Ayton, and the Hawks' Trey Young, who has the performance of Li Haoyu? Or the Thunder management has vision."

　Sorry for being late.

　　Thank you [Zhishang] for your reward.

　　Thanks to the boss of [Not Envious of Immortals] for the reward.
