Start without the ball

Chapter 46 The Hornet
After two weeks of fierce battles in the 18-19 NBA season, the Thunder topped the Western Conference with 6 victories.

The Warriors are second in the West with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses, and the third place is the Denver Nuggets with 5 wins and 1 loss.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in the NA position with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

In the East, the Bucks topped the list with a record of 5 wins and 0 losses.

What is unexpected is that the Pistons started the new season with 4 wins and 1 loss and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

No.3 is the Indiana Pacers with 4 wins and 2 losses.

The NBA officially released the best rookie of the second week.

No.1: Li Haoyu.

This week, Li Haoyu averaged 26 points, 1 rebound and 0.6 assists per game. In the game against the Celtics, Li Haoyu even scored a career-high 38 points and killed his opponent at the same time. Although the data is not comprehensive, the efficient scoring is sufficient. Describe his potential.

No.2: Doncic.

This week, Doncic averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Although the statistics are more comprehensive, the scoring is far behind Li Haoyu, and the team's poor record, so it ranks second.

No.3: Trey Young

This week's data is 23.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Although Tre Young has better statistics than Doncic, he ranks third because he holds a lot of ball possessions and his shooting percentage is not as good as Doncic.

After watching the news, Li Haoyu happily rapped.

Yo~yo~
My goal is the best rookie,

Your score can only be patched together.

Everyone calls me a running professor.

Clean air cuts make you look ugly,
I love rap like Mitsui Shou who loves basketball.

Skr~
After breakfast, Li Haoyu packed his luggage and came to the airport.

Today the Thunder will go to Charlotte to start a wave of Eastern Conference road trip.

After boarding the plane, Grant sat next to Li Haoyu and said:
"Why didn't you answer the phone call in the morning?"

Li Haoyu: "Don't you just want to come to my house for dinner in the morning? If you want to eat fried rice, you can, but you have to get rebounds in exchange."

Grant: "You don't make fried rice for me without rebounds? Our playing time is staggered."

Li Haoyu: "I only got 3 rebounds in the last three games, 2 of them were hard-pressed during the fast break, and the other was picked up by luck. I am not happy without rebounds."

In the mall, the easiest training kit to redeem is this rebound, but since Grant entered the starting lineup, the rebound has not been guaranteed.

From the beginning of the new season to the present, Li Haoyu has picked up a total of 7 rebounds, which is far from the figure of 150. The wool came from the sheep, and Li Haoyu can only increase the strength of the wool on Grant.

Grant: "I really can't do anything about it, why don't you think of a way to squeeze into the starting lineup."

Li Haoyu: "Even if you are in the starting lineup, you are stuck in the position. I rushed in with Russell. He jumped higher than me, but I still couldn't get it."

Grant: ".Why do you think about rebounding all day long? Wouldn't it be better to exchange for something else? How about I give you money."

Li Haoyu: "Don't use money to insult my dream of becoming a center forward."

Seeing that Li Haoyu was determined to rebound, Grant, who had no fried rice, put on his earphones depressedly, and turned on the film game. His bad attitude affected the operation, and he lost the game.

On November 11, the Oklahoma City Thunder challenged the Charlotte Hornets away.

The Hornets started the new season with a record of 3 wins and 4 losses. This season is expected to hit the playoffs.

Hornets starters: center Zeller, power forward Marvin Williams, small forward Batum, shooting guard Lamb, point guard Walker.

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

The game starts soon.

Zeller jumped to get the ball and the Hornets attacked.

Walker faced Westbrook at the top of the arc, accelerated his breakthrough after continuous dribbles under the crotch, and Westbrook slammed into Zeller's arms when he was about to follow up.

Adams was thrown away by Walker at the free throw line, and Walker made a layup after coming to the basket.

After seeing Adams being thrown away, Grant, who was in the low post, let go of his defender, accelerated to the basket and blocked Walker's layup.

After landing, Grant roared, venting his unhappiness (there was no fried rice).

After the Hornets served the ball and reorganized the offense, Walker distributed the ball to Lamb on the wing.

Lamb singled out Ferguson and failed to make a hit. Grant got the rebound.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook dribbles to the frontcourt and gives the ball to George who is 45 degrees to the left.

George dribbles away from Batum and drives to the basket from the left.

Facing Zeller's supplementary defense, the ball was given to Adams, and Adams dunked successfully.

2:0.

In the next game, the Thunder crushed unilaterally. With 6 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter, the score of the two sides reached 16-8. Walker broke through and caused Adams to foul. Donovan took advantage of the dead ball to replace Li Haoyu.

When Donovan called his name, he was a little surprised for a while, but Wan Ge's attitude towards him in these two games is getting better and better.

A foodie was very excited to see Li Haoyu on stage, and secretly said.

"The Hornets strike iron, you just rush to the inside line, I guarantee that people will be stuck to death."

Li Haoyu pointed to Westbrook: "What about him."

Grant: "I'll take care of it."

Walker made both free throws and the score was 16-10.

Thunder attack.

Hornets coach James Borrego arranged for Walker to guard the Thunder's shooting guards and avoid recklessness to take care of his physical fitness.

After Li Haoyu arrived in the frontcourt, he was happy to see that Walker was defending him.

Westbrook handed the ball to George at 45 degrees to the left, and Li Haoyu fell to the right.

After George took the ball, he dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch looking for the opportunity to break through.

This kind of singles with the ball can easily attract defensive attention, not to mention that Walker, a big player in the team, has never had a high degree of defensive concentration.

Walker turned his head to look at George on the left.

Li Haoyu seized the time to arrange a set of esoteric and air cuts.

After cutting to the basket, George passed the ball, and Li Haoyu received the ball and made a layup.

18:10.

The Hornets attacked, Walker held the ball, called Zeller to pick and roll, and Westbrook was blocked to death.

Walker made a decisive three-pointer.

"boom"

It's hard.

Grant got stuck at the basket, Westbrook was blocked by Zeller at the top of the arc, and it was too late to rush inside.

Li Haoyu frantically pressed shift to rush to the basket, and accepted the rebound forcefully.

After handing the ball to Westbrook, Grant and Li Haoyu clapped hands and said:
"Now my fried rice is settled."

Li Haoyu: "One is enough? What if the coach won't let me play at this time in the future?"

It's cool to brush the board for a while, and it's cool to brush the board all the time. Li Haoyu, who has held back for three games, can't let go of this opportunity.

Thunder attack.

After Westbrook saw Li Haoyu playing, George immediately counted the assists. He was very envious, and quickly gestured for tactics.

After Li Haoyu landed in the left corner, with the help of Grant's cover, he completely got rid of Walker and came to the right 45 degrees.

After receiving the pass from Westbrook, Li Haoyu made a shot.

"boom"

Li Haoyu made his first three-pointer today.

Guigui was aggrieved, why was it so easy for George to get assists on Li Haoyu, why couldn't Li Haoyu make a shot when it was his turn?
　This afternoon is going to test the waters. Friends, can you use the promotion ticket to smash Aye's dog's head?
