Start without the ball

Chapter 221 The playoffs begin!
The O'Brien Cup is the ultimate dream of every NBA player. It symbolizes the highest honor. It is played from October to June of the following year. During this period, there is almost no time to breathe. The goal is to fight for a championship.

The cruel playoffs are a bayonet game. During the 48 exciting minutes, each player will strictly treat every offense and defense, every rebound, and every floor ball. The intensity of the game is higher than that of the regular season. by an order of magnitude.

The hot-blooded playoffs are also a great opportunity for players to live forever. Li Haoyu naturally wants to show his style in the playoffs.

On April 4, the first game between the Thunder and the Spurs will start in Oklahoma City. Li Haoyu has come to the Pisacek Energy Center two hours earlier to practice shooting.

The ball boy in charge of passing the ball was very surprised. Why did Lee, who is always accurate, come to warm up so early? It should be Russell who arrived early to find the touch.

Half an hour later, Grant and Ferguson came to the arena at the same time. Grant said:

"Look, Li has already arrived. It seems that he should have practiced for a while. People who are stronger than you are even harder."

Ferguson: "Hey, I wish I was as accurate as him. Shooting still depends on talent."

"It's okay, your blacksmithing talent is comparable to Russell's."

While joking, the two came to the field, and Grant greeted:

"Li, you came too early, aren't you worried about your physical strength?"

Li Haoyu said with a smile: "I didn't increase the intensity, and I shot more relaxedly, keeping the touch."

After saying that, Li Haoyu threw the basketball in his hand.

shuh~
Ferguson was so envious of the clean and neat hollow, he picked up the ball, took off and shot.

boom!
Da Tiesen shook his head helplessly:

"Hey, I really don't know when I can be ready for the next game."

Li Haoyu: "Don't be discouraged, there will be such a day, don't think about other things, and do a good job of defense during the game."

Ferguson nodded and continued to shoot to find his touch.

All the Thunder players arrived. After warming up, everyone began to stretch their muscles. After waiting for the players to fully exercise, Wan Ge checked the time. There was still half an hour before the start of the game, and he led everyone back to the locker room.

After everyone in Thunder sat down, Donovan cleared his throat and said:
"Guys, today we will start the playoffs. Last year, our performance was not good enough, we didn't even pass the first round.

But this year, we have a new face, forget the past, release your blood, we will be able to go to the end!
You already know the opponents in the first round of the series quite well. We have studied them countless times in the battle meeting. Although we triple-killed our opponents in the regular season, they have rich experience in the playoffs, and we must not take it lightly.

Now, get out the door, step onto the field, and tear 'em up! "

Everyone in Thunder stood up at the same time.

Westbrook howled: "Who we are!"

"Thunder!" Everyone in Thunder shouted in unison.

"Who we are!"

"Thunder!"

"Who we are!"

"Thunder!"

Donovan gives a quick high five: "go go go"

Everyone ran out of the locker room aggressively, and the Spurs had already appeared.

The lights at the Pisacek Energy Center went out, and a bright light shone down the Thunder tunnel.

Under the enthusiastic introduction of the DJ on the spot, Thunder soldiers stepped onto the battlefield tonight, and the fans on the spot began to cheer and applaud enthusiastically for the players of the home team.

"Now, let us welcome the MVP of the 2019 Rookie Game, the MVP of the 2019 All-Star, the 2019 three-point champion of the new division, the miracle boy from Huaguo—Li! Hao! Yu!"

When the DJ boldly called out the familiar name, the atmosphere in the Pisacek Energy Center reached its peak. Everyone generously gave applause and cheers to this first grader and to this first playoff season in his life. Sai's Wonder Kid.

Li Haoyu, who just entered the league, has been honed throughout the regular season, and he is no longer that youthful appearance. He has brought too many surprises to Thunder fans.

The Savior beat the Celtics with 38 points at home, scored a key 3+1 against Durant, defeated the Golden State Warriors in the sky, beat the Portland Trail Blazers in the away game, and so on. A deep impression has already been imprinted in their hearts, and people are expecting him to show off his skills in the playoffs. It seems that no one is worried that Li Haoyu will perform abnormally due to nervousness.

The Pisacek Energy Center is a blue ocean, and the loud cheers are continuous. Li Haoyu really realized what the playoffs are. This is the stage for iron-blooded men!
At this moment, the passionate Li Haoyu came to the center of the field, and lightly hammered his chest to calm himself down.

After the entrance ceremony, the soldiers of both sides returned to the sidelines to make final preparations.

Popovich worried that the young players in the team would be affected by the terrifying momentum of the Thunder's home court, and gathered everyone:
"Look, I know it's tough for the Thunder at home, but we're going to give it our all.

Do you know the lineup of the Thunder last year?Anthony, Paul George, Russell, but they are still out early, as long as you work hard enough, we will definitely win the game.

Remember, don't fight with them on offense, or we will die miserably, show your defense, and give me profit points for your steps. If I see someone who doesn't try his best, he will be the first to replace him, and everything will follow the arrangement Go ahead, get it? "

The Spurs nodded slightly.

After the referee checked the air pressure of the basketball, he signaled the players to enter the field and the game was about to begin.

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

Thunder starters: center Adams, power forward Grant, small forward Paul George, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Westbrook.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Duan Ran: "Thunder's home court is too imposing! I can't help but get excited."

Huo Nan: "It's time to test the strength of the Thunder. Li Haoyu is participating in the playoffs for the first time. I hope he will not be too nervous."

Barrage.

"Thunder Champion!"

"Brother Yuzi, go ahead!"

"Come on, Brother Yuzi!"

"Spurs Championship!"

The referee throws the ball up, and the 2019 playoffs officially begin.

Adams jumped up immediately, ahead of Adelaide, and slammed the racket forward. Li Haoyu accelerated to the front court at the moment the referee threw the ball, and picked up the basketball before White.

Dribbled the ball to the basket, kicked his feet hard, stood up, raised the basketball with his right hand and smashed it towards the basket.

boom!
Blitz!The Thunder went to the next city first.

Off the court, Popovich was furious. He couldn't accept such a start, and loudly reminded the players on the court to concentrate.

Duan Ran: "Brother Yu Zi performed an imposing dunk at the beginning of the game. He is in very good condition."

Huo Nan: "The Thunder caught the Spurs by surprise. When Forbes was watching the jump ball, Li Haoyu had already activated it. It seems that the attack was planned in advance!"

Barrage.

"It's over, brother Yuzi is so fierce, my little thorn is going to be gone."

'Brother Yuzi rush! ! ! '

"Dunk start is fantastic!"
