Start without the ball

Chapter 45 Pure Competition
Li Haoyu was a little disgusted by Beverly, why is this person so shameless.

Back on defense, Beverley passed the ball to Gallinari on the wing after halftime.

Gallinari held the ball, faced Paul George, lowered his center of gravity, raised the ball at the same time, and made a shooting fake.

George's center of gravity moved forward slightly, and Gallinari seized the opportunity to break through.

George adjusted and followed up. Gallinari was not as fast as George, was stuck to death, and barely made a shot and missed.

Thunder attack.

George held the ball at 45 degrees on the left, and Li Haoyu landed at 45 degrees on the right.

Repeat the same trick, calling the low post Patterson to come and cover.

Beverly still didn't dare to look back, completely ignorant of the cover situation.

After 1 second, Li Haoyu took a sharp step to the left.

Beverly learned the lesson from last time and did not act rashly. He had to see Li Haoyu completely move to one side before reacting.

Seeing that Beverly hadn't moved, Li Haoyu cut to the basket from the left side.

After seeing Li Haoyu's action, Beverly was slightly behind and was about to catch up, but bumped into Patterson's arms again.

That's the consequence of not looking back, when there's a screen, or which side of the screen, Beverley doesn't know.

However, Beverly did not give up, and chased after Li Haoyu after getting rid of the cover.

Li Haoyu made an air cut to the basket, and George passed the ball.

Knowing that Beverly was still chasing after him, Li Haoyu had an idea, stopped under the basket with the ball, squatted down and lifted the ball, as if he was about to wipe the board.

Beverly saw that Li Haoyu was about to make a shot under the basket, and this was a good opportunity for him to block the shot.

Knowing that it was time to save face, Beverly quickened his pace of pursuit and rose into the air when he was still one step away from Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu took a step to the left, avoided Beverly, and scored 2 points with an easy shot.

Beverly, who had nowhere to rely on, lost his center of gravity. When they were in the air, the two had no physical contact. Beverly was able to adjust his posture and chose a safe way. After supporting his arms for a while, he rolled in a circle to relieve the force Come.

Beverly, who was crawling on the ground, slowed down, turned around, pulled his teammate's arm, and stood up.

After getting up, Beverly looked at Li Haoyu.

Beverly has very rich court experience. He knows that if Li Haoyu really wants to play tricks, when he is in the air, Li Haoyu only needs to lead him a little, and he will completely lose his center of gravity. There is no chance to choose the landing method, and injuries are inevitable.

Beverly's eyes changed a little, and Li Haoyu let him go with his own bad words.

Beverly walked up to Li Haoyu and said:
"Why do that? You could easily ruin my career."

Li Haoyu: "I only like pure competition."

What Li Haoyu wanted was for Beverly to make a fool of himself, but for Beverly to be hurt, not to ruin his sports career.

Beverly's eyes are shining, his defense is aggressive, he likes confrontation, he likes competition, he likes fist-to-hand duels.

Spraying trash on opponents is his usual practice. He wants to interfere with opponents. He likes to win, likes to win, but he will not be so despicable as to use unscrupulous means.

Li Haoyu's competitive spirit infected Beverly.

With tears in his eyes, Beverly stretched out a hand to Li Haoyu, saying:
"Then let's have a serious game. I will try my best to defend. You have to be careful."

Li Haoyu held Beverly's hand and said with a smile:

"You really can't guard me. I've thrown you off tens of thousands of times."

Beverly thought Li Haoyu was joking, but he didn't know that his shadow was Li Haoyu's training partner.

Beverly: "Is it okay to hold the ball? Give it a chance to perform."

Li Haoyu: "Holding the ball is impossible."

Beverly shook his head with a smile, and prepared to attack after receiving the serve.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "What did I see? Beverly actually took the initiative to shake hands with Li Haoyu?"

Barkley: "My God, what's going on."

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "Brother Yuzi, are you and Beverly laughing away?"

Yang Yi: "Perhaps this is the charm of sports."

Barrage.

"Mad dogs also have a day to bow their heads?"

"To be honest, if I were Brother Yuzi, I would arch my waist and throw Beverly with a hemiplegia."

"Can the dirty dog ​​upstairs get away? Thinking about useless people all day long, you don't deserve to watch sports."

In the next game, Beverley didn't spray a single trash talk, and devoted himself to defense.

Of course, Beverly couldn't stop Li Haoyu's off-ball attack.

The rotation of the two sides is a mutual explosion, Schroeder can't restrain Lu Wei, and Beverly can't do anything about Li Haoyu's off-ball offense.

Li Haoyu's efficiency is higher than that of Lu Wei, so Thunder has a slight advantage.

Both the main force and the rotation lineup had an advantage. In the end, the Thunder won the game 97 to 112.

In this campaign, Li Haoyu made 12 of 8 shots and 7 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 21 points and 2 assists.

After the game, a reporter from the Los Angeles Post interviewed Beverly.

Reporter: "Before the game, you had uttered bold words to Li Haoyu, but he still scored 21 efficiently in this game. What do you think about this?"

Beverly: "It's my habit to talk before the game, but I failed to control my words and deeds. Here, I want to apologize to Li Haoyu."

Reporter: "I saw that you took the initiative to shake hands with Li Haoyu during the game. What's the reason?"

Beverly: "Li Haoyu is an excellent player. He has absolutely excellent off-the-ball movement and excellent shooting. More importantly, his competitive spirit has moved me. Since then, I am enjoying the game. I like it. Defense, especially for a player like Li Haoyu."

On the other side of the venue, Zhang Manyuan also interviewed Li Haoyu.

Zhang Manyuan: "Congratulations on extending the winning streak to six games. Beverly said harsh words to you before the game, but we saw him take the initiative to shake hands with you during the game. Can you tell us the specific situation?"

Li Haoyu: "Because we all like the purest sports!"

Zhang Manyuan: "So that's it. Then you will start an away trip. What do you think about the next game?"

Li Haoyu: "The away game will be very difficult. I hope we can adjust our state and meet the challenge."

Zhang Manyuan: "Then I wish you good luck, and thank you for accepting this interview."

After the interview, Li Haoyu returned to the locker room, Westbrook said:

"How did you deal with Beverly? He disgusted even me, and he took the initiative to shake your hand?"

Li Haoyu: "Beverly smokes, drinks, and has tattoos, but he is a good girl."

Westbrook:? ? ? ? ? ? ?
After the game, the domestic media rushed to draft.
