Start without the ball

Chapter 73

Back on the bench, Donovan seized the time to deploy tactics to the main lineup.

Li Haoyu sat down to rest, and Felton came over:
"Adams is all right."

Li Haoyu: "It looks like it should be fine."

Felton laughed and said:

"I have a photo of him when he was young. He was a young man at that time, wearing a black T. The text on it was to protect your nuts (Little Adam)."

Li Haoyu: "So don't set the flag casually. If he remembers the text on that T-shirt, will it make Green and O'Neill so miserable?"

Felton: "Adams will only remember this after suffering a loss. He will wear protective gear when playing the Warriors."

Li Haoyu: "Now we have to add a jazz, will the knights also arrange for him next time?"

Back in the game.

The Jazz attacked, and Rubio immediately handed the ball to Ingles at 45 degrees on the left after crossing the midfield line.

Ingles faced George and made a shot fake.

George's center of gravity moved forward slightly, and Ingles immediately squirmed inside.

George made a slight adjustment and followed Ingles.

Slow down, Ingles' height is still dominant, and Grant is worried that he will get stuck in the position and shrink slightly to the basket.

Ingles immediately distributed the ball to Favors in the low post on the right.

Favors made a mid-range shot.

"Shu~"

After the main force debuted, the Jazz immediately stabilized their offensive momentum.

The Thunder attacked, George took over the basketball at 45 degrees on the wing, accelerated and got rid of Ingles' mid-range shot.

"boom"

It's hard to beat the iron, and George's shoulder injury still affects his shooting.

In the next game, George's touch was delayed, and Westbrook's breakthrough could pose a big threat to the Jazz, but after the Jazz shrank, Westbrook also misfired.

This is already a characteristic of the Thunder. Once George shoots a misfire and cannot open up space, the offense is extremely difficult.

Because Westbrook focused on offense, Rubio's pressure dropped sharply, and with Mitchell, he overtook the score.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides came to 59 to 55.

Back in the locker room, everyone looked gloomy.

Ferguson made two shots in the second quarter, and Mitchell couldn't be restricted on the defensive end. He slammed the chair and said:
"Head, why don't you let Li go up, we can open up the space to attack, we must win this game."

Li Haoyu: "I can't guard against Mitchell."

Ferguson: "Don't play the starting lineup to make a name for yourself, and just sit on the bench as a little pouncer? I can't guard against Mitchell. Since it's all free, it's better to change the offense. I really want to win. "

In normal times, Li Haoyu would have gone, the key is that the task is in hand now.

After Li Haoyu followed the main lineup, he had to use shots to open up the space, and there was no chance to get assists. Seeing that Donovan was about to make a decision, Li Haoyu interrupted quickly, saying:

"Coach, you can consider Schroder. He has already shot in the second quarter. I will continue the offensive momentum with the rotation lineup. What do you think?"

Donovan stroked his chin and thought about it. Schroeder, who feels open, can provide outside firepower, and at the same time, the depth of the bench will not be lost too much. Li Haoyu's suggestion is indeed good, so he agreed and called Shi Luo De rearranged.

At the beginning of the second half, Schroeder replaced Ferguson.

The Jazz attacked, and after seeing Schroeder on the court, Rubio immediately distributed the ball to Mitchell at 45 degrees on the left.

Mitchell accelerated directly after getting the ball. He believed in his speed and didn't regard Schroeder as a human being. He wanted to rely on speed to counteract Schroeder.

Unexpectedly, Schroeder moved quickly and stood in his path before Mitchell.

"Drip~"

Dribbling the ball and making an offensive foul, Mitchell once again paid the price for his arrogance.

On the offensive end, Westbrook called Adams to pick and roll from the top of the arc.

Rubio was blocked and Westbrook burst into the inside from the left.

Mitchell, who was 45 degrees to the left, let go of Schroeder and went to help defend Westbrook.

Schroder received Westbrook's point and immediately shot a three-pointer. In the second quarter, Li Haoyu's assist made him confident in his shot.

"Shu~"

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net precisely.

59:58.

In the next game, the Jazz were afraid of Schroder's shooting and did not dare to let it go. Westbrook and George took turns leaning on Schroder's side, and the offense was greatly improved.

Schroeder was all smiles on the court, and he finally helped the team, thanks to Li Haoyu's touch in the second quarter.

The offense has become smoother, the Thunder's morale has been boosted, and the defensive strength has also increased.

With 3:13 left in the third quarter, with the score 76-82 and the Thunder leading by six, Snyder called for a timeout.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "Schroder is going to rest, and the Thunder should send Felton next. I think he will be sieved by Exum."

Barkley: "The Thunder's rotation defense has not been very good. Li Haoyu is sometimes a defensive black hole. They have always relied on offense, which is like a tide of endless offense."

Back in the game, the Jazz attack.

Exum was overjoyed when he saw Felton on the court. He didn't even call the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. He sped off Felton with a single acceleration, and rushed to the inside lane to make a layup.

78:82.

Felton, who was thrown away by one step, smiled awkwardly, touched his head and said to Li Haoyu:
"His 95 years, can't play him."

Li Haoyu patted Felton's butt to show encouragement, ran to the front field, and came to the left corner.

With the help of Ferguson's cover, he ran to the right 45 degrees.

O'Neill confronted Ferguson a little bit, squeezed out the gap, and followed Li Haoyu closely.

One step inside the three-point line on the right, Patterson observed O'Neal's route and stood still.

O'Neal chooses to go around the screen from the top side of the arc.

Patterson reminded Li Haoyu:

"This side of the top of the arc!"

Running to 45 degrees, Li Haoyu immediately turned around and cut to the basket. O'Neal was far away and was completely thrown away.

Seeing this, Felton immediately hoisted the ball to the right side of the basket.

When Li Haoyu received the ball, Youdu had already defended.

After the adjustment, Li Haoyu hoisted the ball to the left side of the basket again.

Noel jumped high, and after receiving the basketball, he dunked vigorously and scored two points.

78:84.

Li Haoyu got the sixth assist in aerial work.

Jazz attack.

Exum came to the front court after enjoying the sweetness, motioned for everyone to pull away, and rushed to the right.

Felton hurriedly adjusted his pace and went to block it.

Exum immediately changed direction, got rid of Felton and sprinted to the left.

After coming to the basket, Noelle came back to defend, Exum scored the ball to Yudu, and Yudu dunked and scored 2 points.

80:84.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Duan Ran: "Felton's defense is really free, and Exum is an excellent teacher."

Huo Nan: "It can't be helped. Schroeder went to the main lineup, and the depth of the bench will be affected to some extent. Time is not forgiving. Back then, Felton was also an American guard known for his breakthroughs. point."
