Start without the ball

Chapter 13 Play
When Donovan replaced Abramovich, the domestic fans who were expecting Li Haoyu's appearance were shocked, and the barrage in the live broadcast room began to flood the screen.

"And the double MVP of the summer league, hehe, the membership is free, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the game."

"It's over. It seems that Li Haoyu is a water dispenser administrator."

"Didn't someone say that Li Haoyu is better than Abu? Why can't he play when three-pointers are needed?"

"The barrage is real. The coach who just recovered from injury is unwilling to take risks?"

"It's so far behind, if it's really useful, will you stay on the bench and wait for the New Year?"

Huo Nan: "Although the fans are eager to see Li Haoyu play, we know that Donovan is a conservative person. When Li Haoyu has just recovered from his injury, it makes sense to choose Abrines."

Duan Ran: "Then why did Director Huo just replace Grant now? Patterson is 6 for 0 on the offensive end, and his moving speed is slow. He can't keep up with the Warriors' off-ball rotation and has become a breakthrough."

Huo Nan thought that everyone could see that Patterson was a trap. Who knew what this ghost was thinking when he stayed on the court, but he couldn't say this, so he organized his words and said:

"Presumably Donovan has his own agenda."

In contrast to Cole's substitutions, Rooney replaced Green with Rooney at 6 minutes into the first quarter to rest. At this time, Green came back and replaced Jones.

On the surface of the rotation lineup, there are Durant, Green, Iguodala and Rooney on the court. The slightly bleak Cook also has a clear advantage against the old Felton.

Abrines himself is weak in running without the ball. When he meets Iguodala's defense, he has no power to parry. He can only wait for George who holds the ball in the bottom corner to score the ball.

And when George met the Warriors' set of 'superficial substitutes', he couldn't get any bargains, so he could only barely shoot and be forced to pass some non-threatening balls.

The point difference was still widening, and at the end of the first quarter, the score came to 19 to 36.

The genius Wan Ge dug a big hole with 17 points in the first quarter.

Good thing Donovan has Paul George.

At the beginning of the second quarter, George rested off the court for 2 minutes. After returning, he felt warmer, helping the Thunder to maintain the point difference at 15 points, and did not allow the point difference to continue to expand.

With 2:03 left in the third quarter, the score was
64:79.

It's time for Wan Ge to check his watch. After taking a look at Abrines, who is 3 for 0, think about it.

Relying on George, the point difference has been maintained at 15 points. Although it has not been pulled away, it cannot be caught up.

At this time, a way to break the game was needed, and Wan Ge looked at Li Haoyu who was sitting on the bench.

"Li, take out your running position, I want to see vitality! Vitality, do you understand!"

When Li Haoyu heard the coach calling out his name, he felt his body trembling.

It has always been Li Haoyu's dream to finally set foot on the top arena.

When this day finally came, Li Haoyu forgot everything, the unwillingness to lose the election, and the anxiety after the injury.

He has only one idea.

war!
He hammered his chest fiercely, walked towards the technical platform, and made a cross with his hands with firm eyes.

After seeing that Li Haoyu was going to play, Duan Ran said excitedly:

"Come, come, here he is!"

The barrage also began to explode.

"I've been waiting all summer, since I signed with the Thunder, I've been waiting for Brother Yuzi to play!"

"Give me a good fight!"

"Rush, rush, show momentum."

On the other side, after Albert saw Li Haoyu in the TNT commentary:
"The Thunder replaced their Huaguo guard. I remember he performed well in the summer league. Reggie, how do you think he will perform today?"

Reggie Miller: "This is the regular season! It's the defending champion, and I bet $100 that he doesn't get a point."

Li Haoyu didn't know about this, he only knew that he wanted to run, and he wanted to run desperately!

The Thunder's lineup is Noelle, Grant, who pushed Ferguson to the small forward position, shooting guard Li Haoyu, and point guard Felton.

The Warriors have center Rooney, power forward Green, small forward Iguodala, Livingston at shooting guard, and Cook at point guard.

The Warriors have the ball, and Green holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Livingston is in the right corner and runs 45 degrees to the left with the screen of Iguodala.

Livingston didn't stick to Iguodala.

This left a gap for Li Haoyu, who successfully squeezed through and followed Livingston.

Li Haoyu observed the situation on the opposite corner while following, and Rooney waited to cover one step within 45 degrees!

Livingston reached 45 degrees, and this time Livingston was close to Rooney, without leaving a gap, and successfully reached the destination.

Seeing only his teammate Rooney in front of him, Livingston gestured for the ball, and Green, who was at the top of the arc, passed the ball.

In the next second, Green, who passed the ball, regretted it.

The ball is cut off!
It turned out that the moment Li Haoyu bumped into Rooney, he turned around and bypassed perfectly.

Got stuck in the passing line of Green and Livingston, a just-right interception!

Grant, who was originally defending Green at the top of the arc, took a big step and ran to the frontcourt after seeing the interception.

Li Haoyu has a B number for his dribbling speed, no sticking to the ball, and precise long pass to Grant.

After receiving the ball, Grant dribbled two steps and made a powerful dunk with both hands!

boom!
66:79.

Li Haoyu clenched his fists with both hands and roared angrily after he contributed a wonderful interception in the first round after playing!

After the dunk, Grant pointed to Li Haoyu, signaling to the initiator of the fast break.

Going back to the defensive end, this time the Warriors let Livingston sit in the low post. The back-hitting monster among the guards did not let Li Haoyu go.

Li Haoyu didn't even think about it, Livingston, who was defending his back, immediately gave up the bottom line, and went all the way to the line.

After Livingston felt that the baseline was emptied, he turned around and rushed towards the basket along the baseline. Seeing no one in front of him, he soared into the air and wanted to dunk.

Crack, Livingston got caught!
If you want to ask why the relationship between Grant and Li Haoyu is so good, it is not only because of the food, but more because of the tacit understanding.

When Grant saw that Livingston was about to play back, he guessed that Li Haoyu would let the bottom line go.

When Livingston turned around, he didn't make up the defense immediately. If he made up the defense at this time, Livingston had time to react and can distribute the ball to his teammates.

He has been waiting, waiting until Livingston got up to dunk, after accelerating from the free throw line, with his bounce speed and wingspan, he stared at the ball on the backboard from the side!
Li Haoyu, who was the closest, picked up the ball and handed it to Fei Dun.

Li Haoyu thought it was a pity, if the ball hits the basket after the rebound, would it count as a rebound?

After all, Brother Gui is not here, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't get a few rebounds? 150 rebounds is not so easy to accomplish.

After passing the ball to Felton, Li Haoyu rushed to the frontcourt.

At the same time, I told Grant to go low, and I came to 45 degrees.

Li Haoyu took the basketball from Felton, and at this time Grant was also in the low position on the right.

Li Haoyu passed the ball and stood there with his hands on his hips.

Grant's dunks and a big cap made him the hottest man on the court.

Seeing that Li Haoyu hadn't moved, Livingston looked back at Grant.

The moment Livingston turned his head, Li Haoyu performed his nirvana.

Profound meaning: I will cut you empty when you turn around!
He went straight to the basket and made a layup after receiving a pass from Grant.

The score is 68 to 79!

Reggie Miller: "shit, Lee caught the best time to cut, all the attention is on Jerami, who is so cunning!"

Albert: "Don't forget the $100."

Reggie Miller: "...can you forget about this?"

Tengxing commentary seat.

Duan Ran: "Li Haoyu scored the first point in the NBA with a beautiful air cut!"

Huo Nan: "His air cut was just right. Reminiscent of the previous steal, he didn't choose to chase Livingston, but turned around and bypassed the screen to intercept the pass. His IQ is really too high!"
