Chapter 215 Difficult Nuggets

That night, Pelinka talked a lot with Li Du.Li Du finally understood why so many people were vying to be the core of the team.In fact, in the final analysis, it is for commercial value!
With commercial value, merchants and media will spare no effort to praise you, and you can have greater fame; with greater fame, you will have greater influence; with influence, Li Du wants to spread the word Chinese culture, the ideal of continuing to learn from the past can be realized!
"There is always a banquet in the world!" Li Du sighed, and finally said to Pelinka: "Whether I will be traded now is still unclear. What about you, as long as the Lakers don't mention contract renewal, you don't have to say anything." Let's try to finish this season, and help David crown a championship, which can be regarded as fulfilling his dream!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Du walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, looking at the night view of Sacramento, wondering what was going on in his mind.That night, Li Du suffered from insomnia. He tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.Li Du forced himself to lie down, trying to calm down his heart, and fell asleep drowsily until it was almost dawn.

Feeling uncomfortable, Li Du played harder on the court, fought more fiercely, and attacked more extensively. Now, whenever he has a chance to dunk, no matter who is facing him, he will directly smash into the opponent in the air, and he will swing through everyone!In this way, Li Du scored a lot of beautiful goals.

As Li Du's offensive and defensive aggression became stronger and stronger, his reputation as a "devil" became more and more loud, but no matter who plays like this, there will be hidden dangers after all.This kind of hidden danger finally appeared in the Lakers' away game against the Nuggets on December 5 after 12 games!

The Nuggets made big moves in this offseason. They finally discovered that the so-called golden guns could not make the team win the championship, so the Nuggets traded with the Pistons who were about to rebuild, and got the general manager who brought down the four kings of the Lakers. Finals MVP, Chauncey Billups.

With Billups connecting the whole team, the Nuggets suddenly changed!Under the leadership of Billups, they suddenly played team basketball. Even Anthony, who used to only think about offense when he got the ball, can now pass the ball beautifully.

They have risen rapidly in the west where there are many strong teams, and their record is only below the Lakers, firmly sitting in the second place in the west.The game between the Lakers and the Nuggets is also known as a preview of the Western Conference Finals this season.

For this game, the Lakers have made a lot of preparations, the most critical of which is how to deal with Billups.This cold and scarred face is very scary. He usually doesn't show his face, but he has a big heart, and he often strikes his opponent with a fatal blow at a critical moment!
It's okay if Billups is just a strong player. After all, the Lakers have Li Du. Under Li Du's defense, it is difficult for Billups to score!But the problem is that Billups doesn't actually score much. His averages are 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, which is not like the absolute core data of a team at all.But under the influence and leadership of Billups, everyone in the Nuggets likes to pass, everyone likes to run, and everyone likes to create opportunities for teammates. This is terrible!

No matter how good Li Du's defense is, he can't defend against the opponent's pass, and no matter how strong the Lakers are overall, it will be very troublesome to face such a Nuggets whose players are all outstanding in physical talent, and now they are playing the most team basketball.

In the end, Zen Master put Li Du at the small forward position and asked him to face Anthony, while Billups was defended by Kobe.

Li Du has proved last season that under his defense, Anthony has nothing to do, and when Li Du attacked, Anthony had already been convinced.Although Li Du is much shorter than Anthony, the Lakers have an advantage in this regard.

Kobe vs. Billups is a focus match. Kobe is good at scoring and Billups is good at organizing the whole team. It is impossible to compare who is stronger. You can only know after the competition on the court.

Bynum beat Kenyon Martin with a jump ball, and the Lakers took possession of the ball for the first time.After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, he made a cross with Kobe and passed the ball to Kobe.

Li Du pulled Anthony to the corner three-point line from a distance. Now he is only used as a check point for the team. Unless Kobe orders him, he rarely participates in the offense.

Anthony stood beside Li Du. Recently, the topic of Li Du and Kobe has been arguing, and the whole world is discussing it. How could he not know, so Anthony whispered to Li Du: "Li, since you are not happy with the Lakers, why don't you Come to us to dig gold?"

Li Du snorted, but didn't speak.Seeing Li Du ignoring him, Anthony continued to persuade him, "Lee, I promise, after you come, you will be the boss of the team! Chauncey also said that as long as you come here, you will control the ball!"

"Now tell me this, what are you trying to do?" Li Du replied to Anthony coldly. At this time, Kobe took a wrong step and swayed Deng Tai-Jones, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop. Back on defense.

Billups gently abducted Anthony and said, "Cameron, don't think too much. This is not something we can decide. Let's play seriously."

Anthony nodded, and the two led the Nuggets to the Lakers.

With Billups joining, the Nuggets are indeed different. Kobe defends Billups, ** steps forward to help Billups block Kobe, Billups takes a step sideways, and hits the ball to the ground At this time, the *** who gave Xia Shun had a chance to make a shot, but he didn't choose to make a shot. Instead, after attracting Bynum and Gasol to help defend, he passed the player to Martin.Martin received the ball and was about to dunk. Seeing that Li Du had already defended, he didn't force himself and passed the ball to Anthony.

After Anthony got the ball from the outside, he opened his hand and scored a three-pointer, and then several people high-fived each other to celebrate.In this attack, the basketball passed from Billups' hands, passed through the hands of four people, and finally found the best shooting opportunity. This is the Nuggets' team basketball!

For this style of play, the Lakers don't have much to do, they can only continue to entangle with their opponents and try to suppress the Nuggets.

During the game, Li Du finally found out that Anthony was different from the past. Now Anthony didn't confront him at all, and he almost didn't force shots. Of course, under Li Du's strict defense, Anthony didn't have many shots.But as long as Li Du goes to defend others, the basketball will inevitably pass to Anthony's hands, and Anthony will take this opportunity to score.

The two sides have been entangled until the last quarter, and no one can open the score.Li Du looked at the people whose clothes were soaked in sweat. After a whole fight, the physical strength of both sides had dropped a lot. Kobe seemed to have no better way, so Li Du gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself. Open the score, and talk about the rest later!
"Dang" Billups missed a shot, and Li Du immediately jumped up and snatched the rebound. As soon as he hit the ground, he stepped in a dragon shape and rushed out at top speed.

"Not good!" ** was originally near the three-point line, seeing that Li Du was about to launch a fast break, he hurriedly chased him at his fastest speed.
