Start without the ball

Chapter 230 The King of Links

After George hit a three-pointer, the Spurs also hit the ground running. The time came to 7 minutes and 34 seconds, and the score was 12 to 15. As long as the Thunder can score this round, they will have a lead of at least 5 points. The field is ambitious and ready to go big.

At this moment, Donovan asked for a timeout, and the home fans were a little confused. Isn't this a great opportunity to take the lead?The morale of the players is high, so why is it suspended? Isn't this an opportunity for the Spurs to adjust?
Donovan has more long-term considerations. Li Haoyu encountered DeRozan's oppressive defense at the beginning of the game. Fighting with him consumed a lot of energy. Afterwards, he kept running to organize offenses. Forbes came to three rounds of high-intensity hand-to-hand combat, and his physical energy consumption was too great.

When he returned to the bench, Li Haoyu's chest heaved violently. On the one hand, this timeout was for Li Haoyu to get enough rest time, and on the other hand, Donovan could arrange tactics for this attack.

After the timeout, Li Haoyu was still sitting on the bench, and the fans were a little puzzled.

"Why did you replace Lee, who played well? Not only was he scoring himself, but he also created two excellent shots for George."

"Donovan is so stupid. My grandma can see that Lee is now a thigh. Instead of using Lee who played well to widen the point difference, he is on the bench instead. Shit, is he an undercover agent sent by the Spurs?"

On the court, the Thunder attacked, and the tactical execution was pretty good. Westbrook got a good mid-range shot, but it was a pity that he missed it.

In the next game, the two sides scored each other, and the point difference remained at 3 points. The Thunder failed to expand the point difference.

Although the two sides are in a stalemate, Popovich knows that the last 3 minutes of the first quarter will be the most difficult moment for the Spurs. They will face the extremely energetic Li Haoyu!

With 2 minutes and 59 seconds left, the score was 21 to 24, and the Thunder led by 3 points. Popovich requested a timeout. He had to be fully prepared to deal with Li Haoyu's terrifying offensive firepower in the transition period.

Westbrook came to the bench, patted Li Haoyu's shoulder, and said, "It's up to you now."

Li Haoyu smiled lightly and gestured OK.

Donovan's tactical arrangement for the rotation lineup is clear --- listen to Li Haoyu for me!
The timeout passed quickly, and Li Haoyu, who was physically fit, returned to the court.

Spurs lineup: Center Motiejunas, power forward Bertans, small forward Gay, shooting guard Belinelli, point guard Mills.

Thunder lineup: center Noelle, power forward Morris, small forward Ferguson, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

The Spurs attacked, and Mills came to the top of the arc cautiously, raising his right hand to compare the bull's horn.

The two insiders of the Spurs raised Schroeder completely, and Mills chose to break through the right flank covered by Bertans.

Morris switched defenses and followed Mills all the way to the basket. At this time, Mills smiled evilly and passed the ball 45 degrees to the right.

After the double screen, Bertans waited in ambush at 45 degrees, and Morris was led to the basket by Mills. As long as the pass is in place, Bertans can easily shoot, even if Schroder at the top of the arc comes to defend, it is difficult. Interfere with Bertans, who is as tall as 2 meters.

Mills passes the ball and turns to look 45 degrees.

"Shit!" Mills yelled badly.

The ball was intercepted by Li Haoyu!

Li Haoyu in the right corner had already seen through Mills' attempt to pass the ball, and started rushing to the passing line before he passed the ball, completing the interception.

After getting the ball, Li Haoyu rushed forward with all his strength. Because point guard Mills broke through too deep, no one at the top of the Spurs could return to defense in time.

Bertans at 45 degrees tried to chase, but how could his big forward catch up with the speed of the defender.

Everyone in the Spurs could only look at Li Haoyu and walk away. When he came to the three-second zone, Li Haoyu kicked his right foot to the ground. Under the effect of Sir Newton's third law, he rose into the air and smashed the ball with his right hand to the basket.

boom!
21 to 26, the physically fit Li Haoyu declared his time had come with a steal and fast break.

This is exactly what Popovich was worried about. He told Mills to be careful, but Li Haoyu's golf IQ was still too high. He saw through his intention to break through and moved to the passing line ahead of time. .

The Spurs attack and Mills passes the ball to Belinelli at 45 degrees on the left.

Facing Li Haoyu's defense, Belinelli was not sure, so he called Bertans to pick and roll.

Li Haoyu had been prepared for a long time and successfully squeezed through the pick-and-roll. Thanks to his arduous dune rush, his current speed had an obvious advantage over the slow Spurs guard, and he quickly caught up with Belinelli.

The Spurs defender knew that the breakthrough failed and passed the ball back to Bertans. Seeing that Morris was a little far away from him, the Spurs power forward made a decisive three-pointer.

boom!
After hitting the iron, Li Haoyu protected the rebound and passed it to Schroeder.

Thunder attacked, Li Haoyu landed at 45 degrees to the right and clenched a fist with one hand, everyone immediately took action after receiving the signal.

Noelle, Morris, and Ferguson came to the left bottom corner, joined hands, and divided a triangular area to form a shooting pocket.

Not many BBs, Li Haoyu accelerated to the left corner, Belinelli chased hard behind him.

When Li Haoyu reached the bottom corner, Adams and Grant let go of their hands, put their teammates in their pockets, and then raised their arms again to block Belinelli out.

When the ball arrived, Li Haoyu took off and shot without any pressure after receiving the basketball from Schroeder. His movements were extremely smooth and proficient.

shuh~
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the net obediently, 21 to 29. After Li Haoyu came on the court, he widened the point difference to eight points within two rounds, and he deserved the title of king of the transition.

Belinelli collapsed, it didn't matter if he couldn't keep up with Li Haoyu, Lei Ting actually used three people arm in arm to line up the human wall to cover him, when Belinelli bypassed the human wall, Li Haoyu had already completed his shot.

Thunder fans applauded Li Haoyu's outstanding performance, and Huaguo Li's shouts resounded throughout the stadium.

"Shit, Lee is so dominant in transition, the Spurs rotation has nothing to do with him."

"I am so happy to have Li!!!"

"What big legs, it's up to Li to widen the gap!"

The Thunder was on the rise, and Popovich had nothing to do. He had called timeouts twice in the first quarter, and now it was impossible to make adjustments.

When Donovan replaced Li Haoyu, he had already expected such a result, but he was still powerless to stop the energetic Li Haoyu from scoring consecutive points.

He misses Leonard very much now. If he was in the formation, how could Li Haoyu score so easily?
If Li Haoyu was in the Spurs formation, it should be Donovan who is scratching his head and racking his brains to figure out a solution!
The old man made a secret decision in his heart, no matter what this summer, he would try his best to win over Li Haoyu.
