Start without the ball

Chapter 4 Fighting against the Pacers (seeking collection, recommendation and investment)
The news that Li Haoyu scored 19 points in a single quarter in the summer league soon spread to China.

[Huaguo defender Li Haoyu proved himself with 19 points in a single quarter in the summer league! 】

[After Sun Yue, another Huaguo guard may land in the NBA! 】

After signing up for the draft before, Li Haoyu was a little enthusiastic. After losing the selection, fans gradually forgot about Li Haoyu.

The stunning first show in the summer league gave fans hope again. Li Haoyu woke up and saw that his bib fans had risen to 2.

"Come on, let's get into the NBA."

"8 out of 7, 19 points, this is too efficient!"

"Don't come back to play CBA! You don't deserve it!"

"Come on, I just want to see you in the NBA."

"That 3+1 made me wet."

There are some sunspots among them.

"It's just a flash in the pan, who doesn't want to eat dumplings."

"It's just playing some rotten fish and rotten shrimps, and I didn't attack with the ball a few times."

"When Li Haoyu enters the NBA, I'll broadcast the fifth gear electric fan!"

Li Haoyu ignored these sunspots, playing well is the business.

The Spurs didn't have a game today, and the team didn't arrange training. In the afternoon, Li Haoyu found an arena to practice shooting and keep in shape.

Li Haoyu, who has reached full value without the ball, can easily get shooting opportunities.

Li Haoyu needs to turn shooting opportunities into substantial points, so it is especially important to maintain his touch at all times.

After hitting 500 three-pointers, Li Haoyu went shopping in the street. The Vigas at night was really beautiful. He walked on the street in a relaxed manner, found an internet celebrity restaurant and tasted a Latin cuisine, and then returned to the hotel fell asleep.

On July 7, the Nevada State University Arena ushered in the third match day of the Summer League.

Today the Spurs will play against the Pacers. Li Haoyu wears the No. 69 jersey for the first start. His partners are No. 1 White, No. 3 Walker, No. 4 Olivierland, and No. 5 Metu.

Metu succeeded in jumping the ball, and I have to say that his athletic talent is really good.

After coming to the frontcourt, the traditional position, Li Haoyu and Meitu are on the left.

Defending Li Haoyu is Travis Leslie, a veteran who has been hunting for gold overseas after playing in the NBA for two years.

Li Haoyu called Meitu to cover and go off the line, and went to the bottom corner with the cover.

The veteran is still very experienced, bypassing the cover and following up.

Seeing Leslie following, Li Haoyu started to run towards 30 degrees again. Mei Tu understood and blocked Leslie again.

Li Haoyu hit a jumper after catching the ball, but because he stepped on the line, the referee judged it as 2 points.

The purpose of the Pacers summer league is to focus on training their first-round point guard, Aaron Holiday.

The younger brother of Pelican Jrue Holiday.

But he is really a younger brother, and he was intercepted when he singled White with the ball.

Li Haoyu will not let go of this kind of opportunity, the first time he steals it is like a wild horse rushing forward.

White's exquisite long pass, Li Haoyu made a dunk!

For the next period of time, we will return to the main theme of the summer league team's big brother singles. Here White plays one, and the smelly brother returns one. Both sides come and go.

At 7 minutes and 32 seconds, Li Haoyu seized the opportunity of Leslie trying to double-team White and cut into the basket.

White made a ground pass and passed through the gap between Brother Smelly and Leslie. After Li Haoyu received the ball, the Pacers center came to defend.

Li Haoyu tactfully picked up from the Pacers center's armpit, and Mei Tukong, who was behind the Pacers center, caught it!

"Beautiful pass!" Meitu gave Li Haoyu a high five after dunking solidly.

Li Haoyu also pointed to White, saying that the key ground pass is very good.

Harmon off the court also noticed it. He only played 10 minutes yesterday, but he was able to get along with the team quickly after starting today. This kind of football and emotional intelligence is very rare.

In the next 2 minutes, Li Haoyu was fully fired and found 4 opportunities through running positions, including 1 successful air cut, 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 1 shots.

In the first quarter, Li Haoyu scored a total of 9 points, accidentally picked up a rebound and an assist.

In the second quarter of the game, Harmon replaced another group of players, Li Haoyu did not play, talking and laughing with White, who also played in the NCAA for 4 years.

Originally, Metu was asking himself what sports car to buy after getting his salary.

Li Haoyu asked: "Are you sure you can sit in?"

"Yeah, why don't you buy a truck like O'Neill, domineering!" White added with a smile.

"Who said I can't sit in it anymore, at worst I'll buy an urus, and it will be soon!"

"In short, you just can't drive a sports car!" Li Haoyu smiled and gave White a high-five.

Think about Jeremy Clarkson, who is 198cm tall, sitting in the urus, and the distance from the roof is only 5 centimeters. It will be even more difficult for the 208cm Metu to sit in.

Meitu was very angry, leaned forward and leaned back on the seat, looking at the sky thoughtfully.

Didn't Li Haoyu tell him that he wouldn't buy a convertible if he couldn't fit in a sports car!
208 cm is not a problem, as long as there is no height limit pole height.

As for Walker, Li Haoyu also tried to strike up a conversation, but the response was very cold.

This is not to blame for Walker. Walker was an offensive player with the ball in college, but White has more of the ball in the summer league.

He played very hard, and when White had the ball, he could only open up the space, sink to a deeper angle, and wait for the ball holder to be blocked.

On the contrary, Li Haoyu, who is also in the 2nd position, is very adaptable to the game. This sense of gap makes Walker uncomfortable, and of course he will not get too close to Qiafan's opponent.

At the end of the second quarter, the two sides battled 55 to 47, with the Spurs leading by 8 points.

In the second half, the starters returned to the court again. Li Haoyu faced Leslie at a 45-degree left and took a sudden step to the left.

Leslie didn't dare to neglect her body and followed suit.

Seeing Leslie move his center of gravity, Li Haoyu quickly changed direction and cut in the opposite direction towards the inside.

Leslie took a step back and was thrown away.

But this time the Pacers had a center under the basket who had already prepared, and Li Haoyu didn't cut too deep.

Makes a catch-and-shoot with a small step to the free throw line.

Back on the defensive end, the stinky brother still wanted to single-handedly hit White, and Li Haoyu saw the right time to double-team him.

The steal is successful, and a dragon will score another 2 points!
The stinky brother learned his lesson and didn't do it alone anymore, and fed the ball to Leslie.

Leslie, who hadn't got the ball for a long time, was so excited that he opened his posture and was about to rush Li Haoyu.

As a veteran, Leslie's speed is not dominant, and he cannot get rid of Li Haoyu.

Seeing being stuck, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot, but was unlucky and shot out of the frame.

In the front court, Li Haoyu repeated his old trick and took a sharp step to the right at 45 degrees from the left.

Leslie didn't move this time, so Li Haoyu ran out from the right side.

At the free throw line, he succeeded in an air cut with the help of Metu's screen!

In the next 5 minutes, Li Haoyu continued to bully the elderly Leslie with his flexible running positions and gained many opportunities.

至此李浩宇总计16投12中，其中三分6投3中，共计27分！
The main force of the Spurs did not play in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Pacers by a score of 101 to 82.

In the next few games, the Spurs met the Trail Blazers, the Bucks, the Suns, the Cavaliers, and the Grizzlies all won.

As of July 7th, Li Haoyu averaged 17 minutes per game, scored 18.9 points, 21.0 rebounds, and 0.7 assists, although the rebounds and assists were a bit low.

But Li Haoyu, as a No. 2 position, efficiently scored 18.9 points in 21.3 minutes without occupying the ball, and his shooting percentage was as high as 63.2%!

This is related to Li Haoyu's scoring method. Efficient air cuts and mid-range shots have greatly improved his shooting rate.

Almost all of Li Haoyu's three-point shots were completed by running out of absolute space, so the three-point shooting rate was as high as 43.3%!
After finishing the semifinal against the Grizzlies, Li Haoyu received a task from the system.

【Enter NBA: Sign a formal contract with an NBA team.

Mission reward: system upgrade, and open the high gravity training entrance for a limited time! 】

Li Haoyu saw the high-gravity training, his eyes were straightened, what is the worst for him?
body!
This high-gravity training space can obviously strengthen physical fitness.

Although Li Haoyu couldn't wait to sign the contract, he couldn't go to the doctor in a hurry.

Earlier, the Grizzlies offered Li Haoyu a two-way contract.

Li Haoyu said that the Grizzlies are a good team and can be signed, but it is not necessary.

You want to trick me into going to the Grizzlies with a two-way contract?

Aside from the great possibility of being sent down, even if he enters the rotation by virtue of his performance, there is no reliable point to hold the ball, and he may not be able to catch the ball if he runs out of opportunities.

This action also made Li Haoyu calm down. The top priority now is to play well, and the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
