Start without the ball

Chapter 65 Disturbed

After the entrance ceremony, the players made their final preparations on the bench.

Westbrook said:

"Li, you let go of your hands and feet to look for opportunities. The ball will definitely pass. If we win the jump ball, we will use that tactic first."

Adams: "Are you sure you want to use that, then I will try my best to get the ball."

Players walk onto the court, ready to jump the ball.

Thunder starting: center Adams, power forward Patterson, small forward Ferguson, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Westbrook.

In order to continue the firepower of the bench lineup, Donovan put Grant into the rotation lineup, and Iron B Shuangsen started again at the same time.

Trail Blazers starting: center Nurkic, power forward Aminu, small forward Lehman, shooting guard McCollum, point guard Lillard.

After the players take their positions, the referee throws the ball into the air and the game begins~
Adams looked focused and picked the ball into Westbrook's hands before Nurkic.

After the jump ball, Adams did not run to the frontcourt, but walked back to the backcourt and stood beside Westbrook.

After Westbrook got the ball, he didn't push forward. He stood in the backcourt and dribbled the ball continuously on the spot.

The rest of the Thunder team also did not cross the halftime line, and scattered around Westbrook.

Lillard looked at Westbrook in surprise. Every time he met the Thunder, Westbrook would immediately come to singles at the beginning of the game. What the hell is this today?

TNT commentary seats.

Miller: "What are they doing?"

Albert: "I don't know."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, Westbrook moved, dribbled and ran to the frontcourt.

The Blazers looked at the Thunder players who were coming to attack, lowered their center of gravity, and prepared to defend.

Westbrook lobs the ball toward the hoop after crossing the halftime line.

Nurkic hurriedly turned his head to look at the basket, only to see the man in blue wearing No. 7 jumping high, took Westbrook's pass, and smashed into the basket hard.

"boom!"

The Thunder took the lead. After Li Haoyu started the game, he scored 2 points with an alley-oop dunk.

The score was 2-0.

After the director cut the screen to the jump ball, all Thunder players were located next to Westbrook in the backcourt. Just when the Blazers players were curious about what the Thunder was going to do, Li Haoyu quietly walked out of the sideline and ran to the frontcourt.

After seeing Li Haoyu reach the frontcourt, Westbrook dribbled the ball across the midfield line to attract attention, and Li Haoyu cut to the basket.

TNT commentary seats.

Miller: "This Thunder team has become more and more interesting since Lee joined."

Albert: "O'Neill released a new program yesterday, the highlights of the stadium ghost Li Haoyu, have you watched it?"

Miller: "Look, as a pitcher, I really admire his ability to find opportunities, and his unconstrained tactics make him everywhere~"

Albert: "Barkley also paid for the show."

Miller: "Shaq really cheated Barkley out of money?"

Albert: "Yes, Barkley was not very willing at first, but after Shaq showed him the sample, he thought this column was very good, so he decided to contribute."

The Blazers attacked, and Li Haoyu stole the chicken for an alley-oop dunk, which made McCollum very unhappy, thinking about asking for the ball after passing the frontcourt to teach the rookie a lesson.

Lillard is also well aware of Li Haoyu's weak defensive ability. When he came to the top of the arc with the ball and was about to pass the ball, he found that McCollum was stuck to death by Li Haoyu.

He gestured and signaled tactics.

McCollum landed in the right corner and Nurkic came to cover.

McCollum ran close to Nurkic's arm to 45 degrees, leaving no room for Li Haoyu to squeeze through.

Li Haoyu turned around and prepared to follow.

When Nurkic saw that Li Haoyu got rid of the cover and was about to follow, he swung his heel behind him and tripped Li Haoyu.

The referee didn't notice this trick, Li Haoyu could only watch as McCollum received a basketball shot at 45 degrees.

"Shu~"

Three point hit.

2 to 3, Li Haoyu immediately got up and was ready to blast Nurkic.

The referee immediately separated the two after seeing it, teammates also intervened, and the referee looked back at the video.

Westbrook came over and asked, "Bro, what's wrong?"

Li Haoyu: "That gate tripped me on purpose."

At this time, the big screen of the stadium played back the previous scene. Nurkic was extremely concealed. In the video, it showed that Nurkic was about to turn around and make an air cut, and accidentally brought his heel to Li Haoyu.

The audience at the Moda Center booed, thinking that Li Haoyu's small mention was a big deal.

The fans chanted "soft boy!", indicating that Li Haoyu was so weak that he collapsed at the slightest touch.

The video showed that Nurkic was unintentional, and the referee did not make a further penalty after confirming it.

Li Haoyu knew that Nurkic was definitely doing it on purpose, so he looked at the Blazers bench, and happened to meet Nurkic's eyes.

Nurkic blinked at Li Haoyu with a smirk.

The boos of the fans made Li Haoyu even more impatient.

He obviously played tricks on purpose, but in the end I became a softie?Furious, Li Haoyu clenched his fists, his body trembling a little.

Chasing Dream Green played dirty, but it was all on the bright side, you can clearly know what he did.

And Nurkic is a typical Eastern European player, and all kinds of tricks off the court affect your mentality invisibly.

The referee signaled the game to continue and the Thunder attacked.

Li Haoyu stood on the sideline and took the basketball from the referee, and the fans in the audience shouted soft.

Li Haoyu's mind was affected a little, the ball he sent was a little erratic, and Westbrook who caught the ball almost made a mistake.

Wei Shao looked at Li Haoyu in surprise, why is something wrong with him?After thinking about it, he decided to call a tactic and let Li Haoyu score to find his feeling.

Turtle came to the front court and made gestures to direct.

Li Haoyu landed in the bottom corner on the right and ran 45 degrees to the left with the help of Ferguson's cover. Adams and Patterson shut down the chasing McCollum.

Li Haoyu was in the open space, Westbrook passed the ball, and when he received the ball, the audience booed again, and Li Haoyu's shooting hand shape was a little deformed.

The basketball arced and fell into Nurkic's hands.

Li Haoyu actually voted for three non-sticks!
Seeing this scene, the fans booed even louder.

Aminu gave Nurkic a thumbs up. He successfully affected Li Haoyu's mentality.

Trail Blazers attack.

Lillard saw that Li Haoyu was not close to McCollum and passed the ball.

McCollum easily passed Li Haoyu with a change of direction, and came to the basket and made a successful throw.

The score was 2-5.

Li Haoyu's game experience is still too little, and he was a little at a loss when faced with the boos of the fans.

TNT commentary seats.

Miller: "What's wrong with Lee?"

Albert: "He cares too much about Nurkic's previous actions now. The boos of the fans put him under a lot of pressure. The young man still has too little game experience."

Miller: "It seems that his mind is disturbed. Only a goal can make the fans shut up, but the boos of the fans keep disturbing him. I don't know if he can adjust it."

　The update will be earlier tomorrow, and I'm even more sorry for the lateness.
