Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 144 The 29-game winning streak Mavericks, the season is about to pass halfway
The rebound was taken by Milicic, while the other players of the Blazers ran forward desperately. The current Suns lacked D'Antoni. Although they played fast, they were not as fast as the Blazers. Li Qi made a long pass to find Sprewell, who scored points under the basket of the Suns.

With a 2-4 start, the Blazers are in a very good state.The Suns played more complicated. Marion gave the ball to Casey Jacobson from outside the three-point line on the right. The latter received the pass from Marion and rushed in, but was blocked by the Trail Blazers. Withdrew from the zone, Barbosa passed the ball to him, and the latter hit the board, [-]:[-], and he opened the scoring for the Suns.

Marion's height and weight were the same as Li Qi's, but in terms of strength, Li Qi was still slightly stronger than him. Li Qi knew that there was no benefit in beating the opponent forcefully, so he handed the ball to the madman, and he walked quickly to the inside.

Sprewell came to the front, and instead of attacking by himself, he handed the ball to Li Qi. Behind Li Qi was Joe Johnson.Li Qi received the madman's pass, without making any adjustments, turned around, jumped with both feet, gliding a certain distance in the air through the sun guard, and smashed the ball into the basket.

Joe Johnson also got himself to the billboard by this dunk.But the referee didn't whistle any fouls, because these are all normal-scale confrontations.

When Barbosa found himself with the ball being thwarted by Li Qi, it became Casey Jacobson, who was also a tall point guard who didn't stand out.So the opponent disappeared within a few seasons in the historical space.

He went to the front and handed the ball to Joe Johnson outside, and Joe Johnson handed the ball to Jack Voskull, who just ran over from behind.

The head coach of the Suns checked the time and decided to call a timeout. Before he could speak, the starters began to complain.

"Coach, can you stop me from playing against Rich? That guy is really not human. I am no match for him at all." It was Kathy Jacobson who spoke. He and Rich had the least number of confrontations, but they shouted the most, because the opponent knew that if he didn't call, then with the character of the head coach, he would definitely replace Barbosa as the starter.

The firefighting coach of the Suns is good at everything, but his ears are too soft. Although he is good at adopting players' suggestions is an advantage, but he has no majesty and cannot restrain the opponent is also a disadvantage.

This is the current situation of the Suns. What the big guy thinks in his heart is completely different from what the coach said.

This timeout was called for nothing, and it had no effect at all. The Suns played in a mess. Li Qi's desire to score in this game was not very high.

They won four consecutive victories, and their record came to 25-12, but this winning streak did not continue, because they lost to the Mavericks in the next game. After the Mavericks won that victory, their record became 35-5.

The Trail Blazers' record became 25-13, but they did not have a losing streak, and soon got another victory from the Suns, bringing the record to 26-13.

The Blazers' opponent in the 40th game was the Sacramento Kings from the Pacific Division. With Webber still not coming back, the Kings currently have a record of 29-9 relying on Princeton's system.

This game is very critical for both sides, because they are currently ranked fourth and fifth. If they enter the playoffs with their current record, they will be easy to meet.The Kings had already played two games with the Blazers before, and they only played four games in the same division in the regular season, but they lost both of those games, so Adelman and his disciples did not hope that this game would be a 3:0 for the Blazers.
The Kings are back-to-back. In their last game, they beat the Clippers in an away game, and established a lead in three quarters, so the Kings' players really don't have a particularly big impact on physical fitness.

Therefore, it is a bit unrealistic to want to drag the Kings to death by relying on their physical advantages. After all, the opponent is a powerful Western Conference. In the past few seasons, they can wrestle with the Lakers. If Adelman's on-the-spot command is not too mediocre, maybe the Kings can really win the championship.

Before the start of the game, Li Qi received an interview with Kings reporter Grant Napier.

"Rich's current season has reached January, are you satisfied with the team's current performance?"

Li Qi, a reporter for the Kings, has the impression that he was fired in the historical space because he spoke out for George Floyd during the protest on Twitter. Li Qi did not comment on his actions.

"I am quite satisfied. You should know that we are a very young team. Before the start of the season, except for the local media fans in Oregon, no media was optimistic about us. They all thought that we would be the biggest contender for the No. [-] pick this year. Halfway through the season, the team is still in the playoffs. I am very satisfied."

Grant Napier handed over the microphone again, "For the third time against the Kings, who have already defeated the home team twice before, do you have the confidence to keep this victory?"

Li Qi shook his head, "The NBA is a place where miracles happen. Before the game starts, no one knows what will happen. I can only say that I will go all out."

Grant Napier did not continue to interview Li Qi, but went to interview the Kings players.Although the Kings lost two games to the Trail Blazers before, it doesn't mean they will lose the third game.
