Start without the ball

Chapter 30 Mission
On October 10, the Oklahoma City Thunder sat at the Pisacek Energy Center to face the Boston Celtics.

Li Haoyu was warming up on the field, when suddenly, the system's notification sounded.

"Ding~ The system task is released."

When Li Haoyu opened the interface, Ju Miao once told himself that only he can see the system interface.

Mission: Outscore Kyrie Irving.

Reward: 50 system points, one lucky draw chance.

Li Haoyu's eyes lit up after seeing the reward, not only the system points, but also the lucky draw!
What if Ouqi explodes and draws [Ball Master].

Li Haoyu ran to the sidelines and asked the staff member Irving who was carrying a mobile phone about his scores in the previous games.

Although the staff members were curious about why Li Haoyu suddenly cared about this, they didn’t ask too much. After checking, they told Li Haoyu that Owen scored 7 points, 21 points, 16 points, and 22 points in the first four games, and his three-point shooting percentage was even lower. 18 percent.

Wow, it seems that the state is sluggish enough. If there is another 7 points in this game, wouldn't it be easy to complete the task?
No, you have to get insurance.

Li Haoyu ran to Westbrook and said:
"Russell, can you guard Kyrie Irving?"

Westbrook patted his chest proudly: "There is no defender in the entire league that I can't guard against."

Li Haoyu pointed to Owen and said, "Why do I think his score is going to explode this time, should you give him some strength?"

Westbrook: "This is the second game I've come back to. I have to focus on organizing (three weaving) (double) scoring (number) offense (data). He seemed to be in a slump in the first few games, so don't worry."

Seeing that the aggressive method was ineffective, Li Haoyu had no choice but to give up. It is unreliable to count on others after all. No matter how many points Owen scored, he had to surpass him.

The staff reminded the players on the field to return to the channel and wait for the entrance ceremony.

In the sound of the DJ's introduction, accompanied by the shouts of the home fans, all members of the Thunder appeared on the stage.

Li Haoyu's outstanding performance in the last home game won him more cheers when he played.

The starting lineup sent by the Celtics: center Al Horford, power forward Hayward, small forward Tatum, shooting guard Jaylen Brown, point guard Irving.

Thunder side: center Adams, power forward Grant, small forward Paul George, shooting guard Ferguson, point guard Westbrook.

Donovan finally took down his son Patterson, and seeing this scene, the bullet screen began to flash.

"The eldest son, Patterson, has been taken down. When will the younger son be taken down as well."

"Don't let brother Yuzi start, it's annoying."

"Hey, Donovan is stupid enough."

Soon, the game begins.

Relying on his height advantage, Adams easily defeated Horford and passed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook advanced with the ball and gave it to Adams.

Facing Horford, who is 7cm short, Adams took two steps and hit a hook.

The score was 0-2.

The Celtics attacked, and Irving successfully broke into the penalty area with the help of Horford's cover at the top of the arc.

Facing Adams' supplementary defense, he hit the basket with one hand.

The score was 2-2.

Kato Taka really didn't build the stadium, the handwork is really good.

Li Haoyu looked extremely greedy off the court, when will he be able to make a layup like this.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook held the ball at the top of the arc, and George used the screen to take a step inside the wing three-point line.

After passing the ball, George scored two points with a steady mid-range shot.

The score was 2-4.

Westbrook, who received his first assist, grinned and returned to defense happily.

Irving came to the top of the arc again and called Horford to pick and roll.

The quality of the pick-and-roll is good, and Adams guards Irving from beyond the three-point line.

Owen took a sharp step forward, Adams was afraid of Owen's breakthrough, and retreated repeatedly.

Adams retreated, Irving had room to shoot, and he made a three-pointer.

"Shu~"

What about the agreed three-point shooting percentage of 18 percent?
Owen scored 5 points in a row, and Li Haoyu looked very impatient off the court.

In the next game, the Thunder relied on George and Adams to score good points. On the Celtics side, Irving and Horford's pick-and-roll made Adams exhausted.

3分25秒，比分来到21比23，雷霆领先2分。

Stevens requested a timeout.

Irving had scored 13 points at this time, and Li Haoyu felt the pressure. After 4 consecutive slump games, Irving practiced an extra three-pointer. The game was in a hot state, and he made 5 of 3 three-pointers.

Donovan sent in the rotation, and Li Haoyu finally played.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "Lee is on the stage, and he is ranked third in the latest list."

Barkley: "I think Lee should be ranked second. He played too reasonably and didn't take up too much possession. He averaged 19.6 points per game with a very high shooting percentage."

O'Neill: "It is true that although Tre Young performed well, he still took up too much possession of the ball. In comparison, I also think Lee is more eye-catching, but it is too difficult for Lee to surpass Doncic."

Barkley: "This year's rookies have performed well, except for our No. [-] pick."

O'Neal: "The current defenders use the inside as a tool, and Ayton has no chance to attack."

Barkley: "If you were to re-draft based on your current performance and you had the No. [-] pick, who would you choose?"

O'Neill: "It depends on how my team is. If it is a playoff team, I will win Li Haoyu without hesitation. He is really helpful to the team."

Barkley: "What if it's a big team?"

O'Neal: "Doncic, I will build a team with him as the core, and his performance makes my eyes shine."

Barkley: "I agree with you."

On the court, the Celtics attacked, and Rozier was not in a hurry after holding the ball to halftime, waiting for his teammates to get in position.

Smart is 193cm tall, but has a weight of 100KG. Against Li Haoyu, his strength advantage is obvious, and he can easily get a position in the low post.

Rozier passed the ball, Smart got the ball and headed inside madly, Li Haoyu had no power to parry Smart's turbulent offensive.

With the shooting space, Smart turned around and made a mid-range shot on the edge of the three-second zone.

The score was 23 to 23.
Thunder attack.

Paul George is still on the court, falling 45 degrees to the left.

Schroeder passed the ball.

George started dribbling, faced Tatum, and veered to the right.

Tatum adjusted his center of gravity and followed.

At the moment Tatum moved, George exerted force with his right hand and changed the ball to his left hand again. A double change successfully passed the defender.

Li Haoyu sank in the left corner. Seeing that George had made a breakthrough, Smart released Li Haoyu to defend George.

This time Li Haoyu didn't make an air cut. Today he wants to score, and he needs to score more points.

George gave the ball to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu jumped up while receiving the ball, and firmly pulled out the basketball in his hand.

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

The score was 23-26.

Morris at the basket withdrew from the baseline and sent the ball to Rochelle who rushed to the low post on the left.

After serving the ball, Morris regretted it.

A blue shadow flashed past, and before Rochelle snatched the ball, he came to the basket and wiped the board for a hit.

O'Neal: "shit, how did Lee do it."

The director plays back immediately.

Li Haoyu didn't retreat after the three-point shot. He was in the bottom corner, retreated from the sidelines, and quietly approached from the bottom line.

And Morris, who was serving, didn't see it all.

After Li Haoyu saw Morris lightly pass the basketball in his hand, he took advantage of the situation and accelerated, and with his wingspan, he broke the basketball before the 185cm Rozier.

Barkley: "He always surprises us."

O'Neill: "Lee's golf quotient is really high!"
