Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 278 278. Another blow (for subscription)
For a player, the favor of the media and fans may be a source of strength, or it may be poison wrapped in honey.

Li Cha was not blinded by all kinds of publicity and flattery. From the day he talked with Westbrook, Li Cha was learning how to examine himself.

The team needs to be a leader by itself, which is already a choice between George and himself.

To be a leader, besides being able to score explosively, it is more important to maintain the same state and be trusted by everyone.

Rookies like Allen, Nunn, and Robinson have an admiration for exploding data, but Rose and Randall don’t value just exploding data. Veterans such as Adams and Roberson will definitely pay attention to the harmony of the team’s locker room.

As for George, the mutual coexistence and harmony of the two is also very important.

Meditation brought peace to Li Cha, throwing away all kinds of distracting thoughts of the day, and only focusing on the current things, the team and basketball.

This is the method Luo Xi recommended to Li Cha. The strength of the mind is no less than the energy of the body. This is something Li Cha newly realized in the last game against the Pelicans.

As a result, on the first day of trying it, Li Cha felt refreshed, quick thinking, and his hand movements were obviously much faster. After less distracting thoughts, his subconscious movements became more brisk.

At this time, if you go to training again, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

The team's training has become a lot more noisy.

Tomorrow is the first match between the Thunder and the Rockets. Obviously, everyone is actively preparing for the battle. Without Westbrook, facing a strong team, we must work harder to win the victory.

The media have already started making comparisons.

The Rockets are now also driven by dual cores. Both Harden and Paul are passing masters. The Rockets' offense should be very smooth.

Although the contract with Anthony was terminated during the offseason, Anthony, who is obviously aging, does not move fast, and is unwilling to play fast shooting, is no longer suitable for the Rockets' system, so the Rockets' operation does not have a great impact on the team.

But in terms of strength in the playoffs, it must have declined.

It's just not verified yet.

On the side of the Thunder, Westbrook is also injured and has also become a dual-core, but this dual-core and the Rockets are two modes of play.

The Rockets are sudden-pass-throw.

The Thunder is pass-sudden-throw.

Both Li Cha and George are good scorers. They have scored 10+ points in less than 40 games in the new season. In the scoring list, the two ranked early.

And Harden and Paul are the top few assists on the list.

Whether individual heroism is stronger or team strength is stronger, this game may bring more thoughts or answers.

Of course, these are all speculations of the media. No one can guarantee what the real game will be like.

Although Harden has a lot of assists and passes the ball well, he is also unambiguous in his personal scoring, and his style of play is also a personal heroism.

On November 11, the battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

Westbrook came to the game in a wheelchair to watch the game.

Nina followed closely, and the two were sitting in the auditorium. Westbrook can't go to the bench yet, no one cares.

When the camera lens was shown to the Westbrook couple, Westbrook waved to the fans, and there was a burst of applause at the scene, giving it to the hero who once led the team out of the quagmire, and let the team quickly return to the leader of the great powers.

Westbrook also sent blessings to the other teammates of the team, not only Li Cha George, but also Adams Randle and the rookies.

Game start!
After Li Cha started the last game, he had already turned on the god-killing mode, and he had to create opportunities to play when he got the ball.

Against Harden, the contest between the two was very intense.

Li Cha and Harden have faced each other several times. This time, Li Cha clearly felt the difference in his opponent. Maybe it was because his physical strength was still at its peak at the beginning of the season, or without Westbrook, Harden's affection for the Thunder was not so strong, and he became more serious.

In short, this is a Harden who goes all out.

Harden, who is going all out, is very good at defending the low post. He has enough weight and a solid bottom plate. Such a player is very uncomfortable for Li Cha to fight.

His offense is mainly based on low positions. Although there is no problem with the skills he has to score goals, the obstacles are much bigger.

Harden is more of a face-to-basket attack. Although Li Cha is very familiar with the opponent's offensive routines, just like Holiday defending himself in the last game, the more weapons the more difficult it is to defend. Harden still has a step-back three-pointer that the entire league has no way to defend against.

The fight between the two has been going on. Judging from the contribution to the team alone, both of them have scored a lot of points, and they are also trying to limit the opponent's trump card as much as possible. They are evenly matched.

When the ace is exchanged, the rest depends on the performance of other players.

Paul and Capela of the Rockets are a bit like Paul and Jordan Jr. in the Clippers. Capela crazily eats cakes. Paul arranges the Rockets' offense properly.

On the side of the Thunder, Adams and George have no such connection. George is not good at organizing and can only rely on his own offense. Adams can basically only be a tool man, doing a good job of defense and grabbing rebounds.

In this kind of competition, the Thunder were at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Nunn, Robinson, Rose and Grant all hit a lot of three-pointers in front of the Rockets' poor defense. The score between the Thunder and the Rockets was anxious.

Li Cha also saw that the team's condition was not very good. If he wanted to win, he had to work hard.

The team's current situation can fight off a strong team like the Rockets, which will undoubtedly give the team a powerful shot in the arm, and it can also give fans more expectations.

So Li Cha became more focused. He wanted to release all his energy, force out his potential, activate zoom, and defeat Harden in offense or defense, so that he could lead everyone to overtake and win the game.

Li Cha has not successfully activated the magical state of zoom for a long time. There is no way to test this necessary and sufficient condition, and Li Cha also failed today.

The improvement in concentration helped a little, but very little.

Li Cha's situation once again infected all his teammates. Everyone also improved their concentration and played better and better. Both offense and defense have reached almost the limit.

But the opponent's three-point magic ball has already been shot, and it is very difficult to extinguish it from the touch. The Thunder's defense has done a good job, and the opponent can make a shot against the defense, so there is no way.

At this time George also broke out. He took over the ball again and started the offense frantically.

First, he hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then made continuous breakthroughs and made fouls. He fell to the ground several times, and used his physical body to pull the Thunder forward a big step.

It even used the inside attack to bring Capela into foul trouble, and the Rockets had to nail Capela to the bench for more time.

The Rockets lacked an inside defensive pillar, and the Thunder's offense suddenly became clear. Under George's leadership, the Thunder played a small climax, directly overtaking the score and opening the distance.

The entanglement between Harden and Li Cha continued, and neither of them could take advantage of each other.

Paul can only attack by himself. Facing Rose, who is also experienced, Paul's offense did not perform well.

Nunn couldn't guard Paul, and Donovan firmly pushed him on the bench, and let Rose, who was more defensive and tough, confront Paul.

This arrangement worked. Paul's hits dropped in the crucial fourth quarter. In the end, the Rockets failed to win the game in the hands of the Thunder.

At 109:112, the Thunder defended their home court with a slight three-point advantage.

The Thunder losing Westbrook is not a persimmon!

The fans are even more excited. The Warriors can win with Westbrook, and the Rockets can win without it. The team's record this year will definitely be very good. When Westbrook returns at the end of the season, he will definitely have a better record. Even if he returns in the playoffs, there is no problem.

李茶20投10中只得到27分3篮板5助攻，同时也限制了哈登只有18投7中拿到27分5篮板9助攻。

乔治24投11中得到了30分7篮板3抢断。

In this game, George played with iron and blood. He rushed into the penalty area several times and was fouled and fell to the ground.

The performance of Thunder Double Star was publicized by the media, with a lot of exaggerated language and vocabulary, as if the near-death reported just a few days ago was farting, and they didn't care about slapping themselves in the face.

The Thunder finally reversed the situation and their morale was high!

Although tomorrow will fly to Cleveland to play back-to-back, but in the current state, it is no problem to rely on another one.

The Cavaliers no longer have James, and the team's strongest Love is still recovering from his injuries. It can be said that he fell directly from the sky into the ground.

This year's No. 8 pick Sexton's current performance is not outstanding, and such back-to-backs can almost be regarded as rest adjustments.

Today's Thunder is not the Thunder that day they played against the Hornets.

"It's not good!" When they were assembling for departure the next day, Allen rushed in with a panicked expression.

"I just heard the coach say that Brother Paul will not go out with the team today." Allen was out of breath and stuttered.

Are you on vacation?It doesn't matter, the knight is not strong, just training soldiers.

"Brother Li, it's not a rotation!" Allen could see what Li Cha was thinking.

Before he finished speaking, Donovan walked over, "Paul's shoulder is uncomfortable, and today's game will be rested."

Although what Donovan said was a very ordinary announcement, his expression was not good.

Shoulder discomfort, this reason may be nothing to others, George did not perform well last season because of shoulder problems, this is...

Injured again?
