Start without the ball

Chapter 320 Jeremy Lin's Choice
Li Haoyu's steal and fast break rewritten the score to 46 to 38, and the Thunder led by 8 points.

The general manager of the Raptors, Wu Jie, looks gloomy. Li Haoyu keeps causing troubles for the Raptors, and he has become a thorn in his side.

This year, he spared no expense in exchange for Leonard, who only has a one-year contract, in order to achieve an excellent result. After several fierce battles with the 76ers and the Bucks, the team finally broke history and reached the finals for the first time.

If they can win the championship in one fell swoop, the popularity of the Raptors in Canada will break through the sky, but there will be groups of sponsors waiting to sign, and it is even more hopeful to keep Leonard as the absolute core.

However, the loss in the first game put the Raptors in an extremely passive situation. The next game will go to Oklahoma City. Tonight's game cannot be missed!

However, the ghost Mamba wearing No. 7 caused him a great headache. Originally, Malcolm promised to solve this man, and Ujiri only had to pay a small price. Unfortunately, things backfired. Malcolm failed to steal the chicken, but injured his toe. He looked to the bench, trying to find the player who could help him out.

The main rotation is not good, and it would be bad if his hands and feet are suspended and he can only choose those players who are at the end of the drinking fountain.

Moreland?No, an inside position is not right at all, and the same is true for Butcher and Meeks.

Then only Jeremy Lin is left!
Malcolm's actions had disturbed Li Haoyu before. He would definitely guard against the Raptors replacing such a player who had never played before, but Jeremy Lin was different. Li Haoyu was very likely to relax his guard. Ujiri thought clearly and thought about how to Do the ideological work of Jeremy Lin.

The Raptors attacked, Leonard took the basketball at the center line, and now he is urgently needed to stand up to stabilize the situation, receive the ball at the center line, and dribble steadily forward.

One step away from the three-point line, George stepped forward to defend. He had suffered from Leonard's death entanglement before. This round, he must save face no matter what.

Leonard didn't panic at all. When George stepped forward, he slightly sideways raised his left hand to protect the basketball, paused for a while, and suddenly turned and rushed to the other side.

George quickly turned around to defend, Leonard stopped suddenly in front of the three-point line, George was still retreating to the inside, quickly adjusted his footsteps and rushed forward, but it was too late, the Raptors forward kicked up, looked at the basket, and the machine The wrist-style shot.

bang-shua~
The basketball was hit over the back and fell firmly into the net.

46:41.

Miller: "The decision of the Raptors this year is too wise. Kawhi is really the cornerstone of the team. Last year, the Raptors were still a regular-season heavy-hitting team. The only team in the playoffs rushed into the game because of his joining. finals."

Pierce: "He can always stand up when the team needs it. This is the value of the Finals MVP!"

Barkley: "Almost forgot, you won the Finals Most Valuable Player."

Pierce proudly said: "Ahem, of course, I won a championship from the Black Mamba~"

O'Neill: "I heard that someone is better than the champion?"

Pierce immediately conceded, and changed the subject: "George's expression in the regular season is indeed very good, but in the playoffs, he encounters the tenacious defense of more powerful players, and he is very easy to lose his rhythm."

Miller: "Perhaps it was due to injuries. At the end of the regular season, George was often absent. In the first game against the Trail Blazers, Harkless made him lose his temper. However, as time went by, he finally found his rhythm. , it’s just that it hasn’t reached the perfect state.”

Pierce: "Man, you can't say that. After 82 regular season games and more than a dozen playoff games, every team has some losses. Who is the star player? Kawhi also has some knee problems. He Isn't it still a stable performance?"

Barkley: "That's right. Kobe couldn't bend his fingers back then, and he could only wear protective gear to play. In this way, he can still score in the magic wheel battle. Injury is not an excuse."

O'Neal: "From this point of view, Li is really outstanding. In the Thunder playoffs, he was the most stable point."

In the next game, Li Haoyu was sent to the court without a long rest because he played all the first transition period. He was exhausted from the continuous offensive just now, and the Thunder's main offensive power fell to Westbrook's hands.

Due to Li Haoyu's restraint, the Raptors could not easily flank, and the calm Westbrook broke through the organization.

The same is true for the Raptors. Leonard's continuous offensive physical fitness is also depleted. Lowry hits the ball inside.

At the end of the first half, the two sides battled 54 to 50, with the Thunder leading by 4 points.

The players walked to the locker room, Ujiri got up and followed the team into the tunnel.

"Lin, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."

Jeremy Lin looked back and saw that it was the general manager of the team.

Ujiri pulled him aside: "Lin, do you want to play?"

"I want to! I really want to!" Jeremy Lin blurted out. It is the dream of all players to be able to sweat on the battlefield of the finals.

Ujiri smiled slightly and put his hand on his shoulder: "I know your dream, I can persuade Nass to send you to play, but..."

The opportunity he dreamed of was right in front of him, Jeremy Lin's eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "As long as you let me play, I will definitely try my best to defend, the kind of desperate!"

Ujiri: "I know that. You also know the current situation of the team. We must win today's game, but that damn Thunder No. 7 has been causing trouble. Do you know what I mean?"

"Sir, I will do my best to limit him. Even if he takes me to run a marathon, I will follow with all my strength."

Ujiri: "Lin, I need more than that, you need to do something less glamorous."

Jeremy Lin looked at the man in front of him in shock. He never thought that Ujiri meant this.

"I spent a lot of money to reach the finals this year. There is no room for loss. All you need is to be friendly and say 'nihao' to Lee to let him relax. After that, you know what to do. The team I will never forget your dedication, and I can promise you the contract for next season."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I can't do it." Jeremy Lin is a hardworking person. He never gave up any hope. If it weren't for his persistence, he would not even be able to enter the league, and there would be no Linsanity that shocked the world.

The final stage he dreamed of was in front of him, but he refused it outright, just because of his pure love for basketball!

Jeremy Lin has always been a player who knows how to be grateful. Facing all kinds of temptations around him, he keeps himself clean. Ujiri’s proposal is certainly tempting. It can not only set foot on the battlefield of his dreams, but also solve the contract for next year. However, Jeremy Lin chooses to stick to it Own moral conscience!
