Start without the ball

Chapter 70 New Missions
On November 11th, the first payday of the new season came.

Li Haoyu's annual salary is 84 US dollars, after deducting 39.2% federal tax, 5.25% Oklahoma personal income tax, and 10% league trust fund (returned next season), the actual salary he can get this season is 38.262 Knife.

The 38 dollars were distributed in 24 times, and Li Haoyu actually got 1.6 dollars today.

Fortunately, some of the commercial endorsements also arrived today, and Li Haoyu got 20 in endorsement fees.

Finally being rich, it's time to swap out that Pontiac Firebird.

As early as half a month ago, Li Haoyu had already contacted the dealer and ordered a long-awaited sports car.

After receiving the endorsement fee, Li Haoyu called Grant to pick up the car.

Grant: "How do you like this kind of car?"

Li Haoyu: "It's pretty cool, isn't it?"

Grant: "Cool is one thing, but isn't this car too flashy?"

This flamboyant car is the Viper SRT, with an 8.4L naturally aspirated V10 engine with 640 horsepower.

This car has been discontinued in 14, and it is not easy for dealers to find this new car. The price is a little higher than the $12 at the time.

Red paint, the iconic slender front, with black air intake grille and two triangular headlights, like a viper attacking, the front face is very aggressive.

Grant: "The 8.4L engine you are crazy."

Li Haoyu: "Self-absorption is justice, and turbos are different!"

Grant: "Then why don't you buy a Ferrari 812."

Li Haoyu: "That car is 36, you can buy 3 Vipers. Don't be fooled by my data, I still have a basic salary."

After Li Haoyu got into the cockpit, he signaled Grant to come in and feel it.

Grant tried and failed for a long time, getting back on his big G, or the buggy room for a big player.

After igniting the engine, the 8.4L cylinder burst out with a violent roar, which shocked Li Haoyu's body.

"That's the right voice."

Although the previous Firebird in 01 is also a muscle car, after the baptism of years, only the appearance is left.

Li Haoyu drove his car to the track 2 kilometers away from Oklahoma City, wanting to go fast.

When passing the first corner, Li Haoyu felt that the car was too difficult to control and almost slipped off the track.

Li Haoyu gave up his aggressive driving and drove off the track steadily.

Seeing Li Haoyu's dejected look, Grant:

"Who told you to buy a muscle car, the straight road is the king, and the curve is dead."

Li Haoyu: "Then I will play straight-line acceleration from now on"

Then he found a straight-line acceleration track, and Li Haoyu finally became happy.

After playing for a day, Li Haoyu went home and fell asleep.

Two days later, the Oklahoma City Thunder will sit at home and welcome the challenge of the Utah Jazz.

Last season, the Thunder were eliminated by the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs, which was considered a bridge.

Before the game, in the Thunder locker room, every player looked serious.

Felton brings everyone together:

"For the Thunder in the new season, we have new teammates, new tactics, and a better record. In this game against the Jazz, we must work hard to avenge our shame."

Grant: "Teach those grandkids in Utah a lesson."

Adams: "I'm going to guard Gobert at his grandma's house."

Felton: "one two three"

"Thunder!"

After shouting out the team name in unison, all members of the Thunder walked out of the player tunnel and entered the field to warm up.

During the entrance ceremony, the Jazz players received boos from the Thunder fans when they entered the field.

When DJ introduced the home team Thunder, he also worked harder than ever.

Although Li Haoyu didn't experience last year's playoffs, the earnest expressions of his teammates told him that there is no room for loss in this game!

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "Last year the Thunder gathered the Big Three but lost Utah. In this game, I think the boys in Oklahoma City will work harder."

Barkley: "George had a truce in the last game. I don't know how he will be after returning from injury."

Just when the players on both sides were about to jump the ball, Li Haoyu received a new task.

[Comprehensive star: Get a double-double and help the Thunder win.

Task rewards: one lottery draw, 50 system points for scoring + double-doubles on rebounds, 70 system points for scoring + assists, and 100 system points for triple-doubles. 】

Li Haoyu was overjoyed at first when he saw the task released by the system, but after seeing the task requirements, Li Haoyu covered his forehead, this is too difficult!

Whether it is assists or rebounds this season, there have not been more than 5 times, let alone double figures.

As for the triple-double worth 100 system points, just think about it.

Li Haoyu made a mistake. If it was an insignificant regular season, with his current team status, he could force a double-double regardless of the result of the game.

But this game cannot be lost, for a while, Li Haoyu didn't know what to do.

Just as Li Haoyu was thinking, the game started.

Jazz starters: center Gobert, power forward Favors, small forward Ingles, shooting guard Mitchell, point guard Rubio.

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

In the jump ball, Gobert first touched the basketball with his long arm, and the Jazz attacked.

Rubio advanced with the ball, and after crossing the midfield line, Westbrook stepped forward and kept putting pressure.

Westbrook's defensive attitude in this game is much better than before.

Rubio felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately handed the ball to Mitchell at 45 degrees to the left.

Mitchell greeted Gobert to step up to the pick-and-roll.

Ferguson was blocked by Gobert, Mitchell rushed to the basket, Adams switched defenses and chased Mitchell.

After Mitchell rushed to the basket, he distributed the ball to Gobert who followed up.

Gobert raised his long arm high and was about to dunk.

Adams quickly defended, grabbed Gobert's left hand, and yanked him down.

The momentum cannot be lost, and Adams wants to tell the Jazz players that scoring will not be so easy in this game.

Gobert flexes his arm and walks to the free throw line.

Thunder fans booed and interfered, and Gobert made one free throw.

1:0.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook passes the ball to George on the left.

George dribbled the ball, found the feeling and then accelerated to get rid of the slow-footed Ingles, came to the basket and got up for a layup.

The tie rod avoided Gobert's long arm and scored 2 points.

1:2.

In the next game, Rubio was frozen by Westbrook, but Mitchell played well. After the breakthrough, the ball gave the Thunder a lot of trouble.

Defensive giant Ferguson was blown up again.In order to help Ferguson defend, Adams made a premature 2 fouls, and Donovan sent Noelle in advance.

On the offensive end, George grabbed Ingles and made a sudden rush, and the Jazz had nothing to do.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

With 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 22 to 23, the Thunder led by 1 point, and the two sides sent out rotations.

Jazz: center Udo, power forward Niang, small forward Crowder, shooting guard Mitchell, point guard Exum.

Thunder: center Noelle, power forward Patterson, small forward Diallo, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

Since George had just returned, Donovan controlled his playing time. Westbrook's high-intensity defense against Rubio consumed a lot of physical energy, and he also took a rest off the court.

The Thunder attacked, and Schroeder commanded the position at the top of the arc.

Li Haoyu ran to the left 45 degrees with the help of Patterson's cover in the bottom corner on the right. One step inside the three-point line, Noelle blocked the chasing Mitchell.

Li Haoyu was empty, received a pass from Schroeder, and deliberately slowed down his shooting.

Seeing that Li Haoyu was shooting slowly, Mitchell quickly stepped up to block.

Li Haoyu passed the ball to Noelle who was one step inside the three-point line at the moment Mitchell posted it, and cut to the basket.

Mitchell rushed too hard and couldn't stop the car, so he could only be thrown away by Li Haoyu.

One step inside the three-point line, Li Haoyu took the basketball back from Noelle's hand and rushed towards the basket.

Yudu hastened to make up the defense.

Li Haoyu passed the basketball behind his head, and Noelle who followed up got the ball and dunked it!

22 to 25.

After Noelle landed, he clapped hands with Li Haoyu as a signal.

Li Haoyu scored an assist with an exquisite pass behind his head.

For the mission, please call me Li Super Organization Haoyu in this game!
