NBA super point guard

Carlesimo doesn't like to use newcomers, including Westbrook, who performed well in team games, and he was only placed on the bench by him.

As a marginal member of the team, Li Muhua sat quietly by the drinking fountain. After Adams' training during this period, he has calmed down a lot. Li Muhua didn't know that Carlesimo had killed him, and he was looking forward to playing. Experience the feeling.

The overall strength of the Timberwolves is better than that of the Thunder. Although the configuration is simple, it is more reasonable. In the first quarter, they beat the Thunder.

Durant's hammering sound kept on making Li Muhua's teeth ache when he heard it.

The offensive methods of the two teams are similar, both catch and shoot, but the Timberwolves stunned the Thunder with two three-pointers in the first quarter.

Randy Foye of the Timberwolves is a miracle in the history of human evolution. Not to mention his heart grows on the right side of his chest, and his liver is also displaced. This guy successfully undercovered the Thunder and competed with Durant for efficiency.

Although Westbrook led the team to catch up in the second quarter, the hole dug by the main starter was too big.

The gap between the two teams is only a few points, but the Thunder still can't catch up, and the loss is reasonable.

The Thunder's gunner Chris actually scored 17 points, which is not bad.

For this game, Carlesimo did not yell too much, but sat quietly on the sidelines. After all, it was only a preseason game, and both sides were practicing their players, so there was nothing to discuss.

"For the whole summer, I don't know what you guys are doing on vacation. What about the perimeter defense? The Timberwolves made 24 three-pointers, and you guys only made 5 poor shots!"

Carlesimo turned into a werewolf after the game and went into a rage in the locker room.

Naturally, the local media in Oklahoma City will not let go of this opportunity to slap people in the face.

"The defense that Carlesimo respected, I'm sorry, we didn't see it at all, but we saw a different Thunder team. Did Carlesimo bring his defensive philosophy to the extreme? We should suggest to the league that the Thunder will For the team's game, stop planning for three-pointers!"

Presti couldn't sit still, and went directly to Carlesimo on the training ground.

Li Muhua saw that they spoke very fast, and they seemed to be in a quarrel again. The disagreement between the general manager and the head coach was no news in the Thunder team.

Both Durant and Westbrook practiced the ball with black faces. One was angry with his own touch, and the other was angry that he was not the main starter.Both of them are reconstruction cores, and naturally no one blames them.

The remaining substitute, the fringe man, became the target of Carlesimo's fire.

Of course, all this had nothing to do with Li Muhua, he didn't even have playing time, he just silently practiced defense and confrontation with Adams.

On October 10, the Thunder flew to California to play against the Kings.

Li Muhua found that although the Thunder team was immature as a whole, they were not inferior in the face of the Kings team. I don't know if it was because of Carlesimo's continuous spraying on the sidelines. The Thunder team played very tough in this game, almost at the last moment. The two sides announced the outcome.

Bobby Brown of the Kings scored the highest points of the two teams and killed the game with a three-pointer in the last quarter.

The Thunder's three-point shooting has finally improved, but compared with the Kings, it seems a bit weak. The shooting percentage of the two teams is not low, but there is a lack of people who can really make the final decision.

The team does not have corresponding tactics, and in many cases cannot give full play to the advantages of the players.

Li Muhua frowned and watched the whole game, which made him a little puzzled. During the training in the team, everyone has different technical characteristics and has three tricks, but in the real game, they are timid. It seems that all the energy of the players has been exhausted. Defensive.

Everyone in the Thunder team is more versatile, anyone can shoot, the point guard takes the ball across the midfield, and then gives the ball to Mason, Joe Smith or Wilkins are fine, they immediately fell into infinite singles , without any fit.

As for who plays, Carlesimo doesn't care at all, as long as it can limit the opponent's scoring, it doesn't matter how you play offensively.

Although the game was lost, the head coach played very easily.

In less than a month, with 1 win and 5 losses, the Thunder ended the preseason of the 08-09 season. This result was expected, and no one said anything.

Before the end of October, all the preseason games were over, and the Thunder confirmed the 10-man roster for the new season, including Li Muhua, but he didn't get even a minute of playing time.

From worrying about his playing time to now worrying about being cut at any time, Li Muhua didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

As everyone knows, his training attitude was seen by Brooks.

"How's LI's defense going?" Brooks asked Adams.

"I think this kid has practiced well, at least he has some skills. Compared with before, he is a different person!"

"Do you think he can play at his level now?"

Of course Adams knew what Coach Carlesimo was thinking. He didn't have the patience to wait for newcomers to grow. Normally, Carlesimo wouldn't give Li Muhua any chance to play.

Adams didn't answer Brooks' question. It's not something he, a defensive coach, can suggest whether a player should play or not.

"LI, let's play together!"

The regular season is about to start, there are always a few people who leave very late, they are not enough for 3V3, so Durant simply called Li Muhua.

"Oh well!"

This was the first time that the core of the team spoke to him, and Li Muhua put down the training equipment and quickly nodded in agreement.

Chriss, Green, Westbrook first team.

Durant, Collison, and Li Muhua's second team.

Collison took the lead to serve the ball, and the ball brought by Li Muhua slowly moved along the three-point line.

After getting along for a month, everyone knows everyone's technical characteristics. Regarding Li Muhua's three-point ability, Westbrook's defense is very tough, and he starts to press from outside the three-point line.

Li Muhua a month ago had already lost the ball.

But now Li Muhua is completely different, constantly using small steps to disrupt Westbrook's defensive focus.

"It seems that they want to force me to make mistakes, but is it really that easy?" Seeing that the confrontation was effective, Li Muhua regained his confidence.

"Turn on the super brain!"

In the eyes of others, Westbrook's defense is overwhelming, but in the eyes of Li Muhua, it is full of loopholes.

"right!"

Li Muhua swayed to the left and quickly cut in from the right. Westbrook quickly adjusted his center of gravity and followed closely with only half of his body down.

Green, who was near the free throw line, quickly made up for it, only to find that the ball in Li Muhua's hand suddenly disappeared.

"Where did the ball go?"

A question popped up in everyone's mind.
