Chapter 61 Betting and Triple-Double! (for collection)

Just when He Li was on the court, Heat point guard Anthony Carter made two free throws in a row, widening the gap between the two teams to 4 points.

The Heat's defense is very good. Even if Mourning is not there, the Heat's overall defensive strength is still very strong.

But there is no pressure on He Li to play, and the other teammates on the field also seem to be very relaxed when they see He Li play.

Kassel pushed the ball across the half court and found a chance to pass the ball to Dagou, who took great care of He Li and passed the ball to He Li to see how the game feels.

Eddie Jones' defensive awareness is very good, and his defensive attitude is also good. As soon as He Li received the ball, Eddie Jones stuck to the defense. He didn't seem to care at all. He Li was half a head taller than him.

At this time, Kenny Smith, the TNT commentator at the game scene, suddenly turned his head to look at Charles Barkley, and asked, "Do you think Eddie Jones can defend He Li?"

"He Li is very interesting, he has the body of an inside player and the shooting skills of an outside player.

But unfortunately, he is not me, his back hitting is not strong enough, skilled enough, otherwise Eddie Jones would not be able to guard him at all!
I've watched the video of He Li's game. He didn't make a breakthrough at all. He was defended by Eddie Jones, and it was basically over! "

Barkley's praise is actually derogatory, and what he means is that He Li's style of play is too soft to fight tough battles!Now when you meet a defensive champion like Eddie Jones, you are basically dead.

Kenny Smith took the opportunity and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

Barkley was surprised: "No way? Are you optimistic about that rookie?"

Kenny Smith: "Yes, I am more optimistic about He Li!

It seems that you have also agreed to participate in this game!
We bet He Li can beat Eddie Jones in the end!

How can I press you, you should be Eddie Jones, right? "

Barkley: "Of course. What should we bet on? Or, if you lose, just kiss my ass?"

Instead of refusing, Kenny Smith agreed, "It sounds interesting, so let's bet on it!"

As soon as the bet between the two was hastily settled, He Li leaped high within the three-point line, made a straight-arm hook, ignored Eddie Jones' defense, and threw the ball out.

"Haha, did he think he was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Wake up, no one can be the second Kareem!" Barkley couldn't help laughing when he saw He Li's random shots.

The shooting rate of long-range shots is often lower than that of other shooting areas. He Li also faced Eddie Jones' strong defense and threw the ball with a hook.

This kind of shooting method, ten shots may not be able to score one, right?

He Li's shooting method and shooting concept can make Barkley laugh to death.

Why is Barkley good at post-ups? Isn't it because the closer he is to the basket, the higher his shooting percentage?
Long shot or something, in Barkley's view, is a brain problem, giving the opponent the ball.

Even in the long run, [-]% of mid-range shots and [-]/[-] of [-]-pointers have the same scoring efficiency, but the latter should also produce more rebounds.

If one player on the offensive side shoots outside the three-point line, then the team can only have up to four players rebounding inside the three-point line, while the opponent has five players. Naturally, it is easier to grab rebounds and get the ball.

In this way, the team with a [-]% shooting percentage will naturally have a higher probability of winning.

Although the magic ball theory has not yet been born in this era, many coaches advocate more three-point shots that can improve the true shooting percentage.

However, there are more coaches and players who insist on defending the concept of winning the championship and insist on using mid-range shots to kill the game.

After all, this is talk of experience that has gone through the test of the finals.

On the surface, He Li's style of play is indeed very unreasonable and unexpected.

However, when He Li's offensive ability is strong enough, he can smoothly help the team score.Then no matter how incredible the shooting method is, it will also become a reasonable shot.

At least, this ball is like this!

"brush--"

The ball flew across the sky, went straight through the rim, brushed the net, and then fell to the ground.

"Haha, Charles, see, this goal is scored! This is a beautiful goal!

Indeed, no one can be a second Kareem.

But He Li can become the second inside player who is good at scoring long shots with hooks!

Do you think I'm right? "

He Li's goal made Kenny Smith instantly relieved!

Although Kenny Smith did his homework before coming to the Bucks and knew that He Li's hook was very powerful, with a hit rate of almost 50%, but Kenny Smith couldn't guarantee that He Li would score this goal.

Kenny Smith dared to bet with Barkley mainly because Eddie Jones' scoring ability is not too strong, while He Li's scoring ability is very explosive.

Kenny Smith looked at the data of He Li's previous three regular season games and heard He Li's nickname of "Star Killer", so he dared to gamble with Barkley.

"He Li just scored a goal! I was singled out against Jordan, and I can score a goal on Jordan's head!" Barkley didn't think that He Li defeated Eddie Jones by strength, but insisted that He Li was a fluke.

Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year?

However, next.

"Nonsense? How can he play like this?" Barkley nearly rubbed his eyes blind, but even if he couldn't believe it, He Li could play like this and score like that.

After He Li came on the court, although he only used the straight-arm hook to shoot, and almost all of them shot from the right area, Eddie Jones seemed to be bought in advance, but he couldn't guard He Li.

Relying on He Li, the Bucks made 7 of 4 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 10 points, and directly chased the score back.

"Incredible shooting!"

"Incredible score!"

He Limeng's horse was not only unacceptable to Barkley, but also to the Heat players, and even the Bucks fans at the scene were a little unacceptable.

"Dad, is He Li the son of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Is that how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar plays?"

"Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doesn't play like this, our Bucks may have another character like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!"

"He Li, He Li, He Li!"

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

After the first quarter of the game, He Li returned to the court to rest, but the fans at the scene shouted enthusiastically for He Li, and many people even called He Li MVP!

Before, only the Big Dog and Ray Allen had this treatment in the Bucks!

But in the first quarter of today's game, Ray Allen scored 0 points, Dagou only scored 7 points, and He Li scored 10 points. As long as the scoring data, He Li is indeed qualified to win the MVP of this game!

Having said that, because He Li's injury has not recovered, and Ray Allen sat off the court for most of the quarter, at the beginning of the second quarter, He Li sat on the bench first, and Ray Allen re-entered the game.

Meanwhile, George Karl also replaced the Big Dog with Tim Thomas.

In the first half of the second quarter, under the leadership of Ray Allen, the Bucks originally had a 3-point lead, but they were overtaken and fell behind.

He Li was once again sent on as the fire captain, but Ray Allen was not replaced, replaced by Tim Thomas and Cassell.

Alston is enough as a dribbling tool, and He Li is a small forward who continues to shoot from the outside.

If Eddie Jones can't bear the insult of the first quarter and chooses to take the initiative to defend He Li, then Ray Allen's scoring ability can be liberated.

If Eddie Jones wants to guard against Ray Allen, then He Li can drive the team with his scoring ability.

Seeing George Karl replaced by He Li, Barkley couldn't help cursing: "George Karl is so confused? Why did he play old Nelson today?"

"The Heat's overall defense is very strong, but they can't defend against such a hard-edged supernova like He Li!

The scary thing about the Bucks is not the firepower of the three musketeers, but that even if the three musketeers misfire, there are still people who can play the team's boss-level offense!
Judging from the last few games, He Li is such a person! "

Kenny Smith stopped teasing Barkley, but began to bring the commentary back on track.

In this game, as Kenny Smith said, He Li's offensive ability was indeed no worse than that of the Three Musketeers.

Eddie Jones already knew in the first quarter that he couldn't defend He Li's weird straight-arm hook. The best he could do was to defend Ray Allen.

Although Ray Allen was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to let his hands down!

Ever since, an interesting phenomenon appeared in the second quarter. Alston dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Ray Allen, who then found a chance to pass the ball to He Li.

He Li received the ball and shot it without saying a word.

He Li's shooting percentage has not dropped, and the Heat really have no choice but to double-team.

Seeing this, He Li was right in his arms: "I want to get a triple-double, I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

When He Li was double-teamed, he passed the ball to Anthony Mason and Joel on the inside. Basically, when it was uploaded, it was an assist.

Only in the second quarter, He Li got 6 assists.

The Heat neglected one thing and lost another, and their shooting percentage was not high. Although He Li didn't dare to use his left hand too hard, he still had no problem picking up a few defensive rebounds occasionally.

After the first half, He Li had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

However, the Bucks only led by 2 points entering the third quarter.

Because the point difference was not widened, in the third quarter, Big Dog and Cassel first played hard, and then He Li and Ray Allen played together again.

He Li made a wave of 3 shots in the third quarter and helped the Bucks expand their advantage instantly. However, the Heat were very tenacious and did not give up the idea of ​​​​resistance at all. This also gave He Li a chance to continue playing in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, because rebounds and assists were still a little short, He Li naturally tried his best to achieve his goal.

The emperor paid off, and without most people noticing, He Li used a more team style of play to get his first triple-double in the NBA regular season.

At the end of the game, the Bucks won four consecutive victories, and He Liye was elected the MVP of the game with a triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists!
