Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 29 Starting from a three-point strike
Mina stomped her feet anxiously.

The Lakers started sleepwalking, and Liu Ming turned into a blacksmith. She really panicked.

When the camera was shown to her, she was muttering in a low voice, "What's the deal with this!"

Ke Lan also looked serious, "This scene is so similar to last year, are the Lakers about to be blown up by the sun in the first quarter?"

Director Yang took out the teleprompter, "Last year was also the first quarter. Booker made 6 of 6 three-pointers and scored 22 points. Today, in 3 minutes, Booker contributed two 3-pointers, one 2-pointer, and scored 8 points by himself. One person slammed the entire Lakers team. Looking at this trend, the Lakers will be defeated in the future."

Ke Lan nodded and said, "The next step is to see how Vogel adjusts. Will he take Liu Ming down?"

Director Yang thought for a while, "It's possible! The shooter must remain focused and calm, and never get on top lightly. Once he makes a forced shot, his confidence will only collapse."

In fact, the Lakers are back on timeout.

Vogel did not intend to replace Liu Ming.

Just let other players help Pope pinch Booker.

This made Xiao Hei, who had been paying attention to the coach's eyes, even worse.

Limiting Booker's play is one thing.

But defending the zone against the Suns is another story.

The Lakers still have no decent countermeasures except for the outside three-pointer.

Vogel is also weighing in his heart.

Consider whether to let the veteran James take a breakthrough strategy in advance.

But if the opponent shrinks to the basket, James' breakthrough efficiency will be greatly reduced.

If you are strong, not only the hit rate is low, but it is also easy to get injured.

Therefore, going around in the end still has to rely on Liu Ming's three-point ability.

James saw through Vogel's change of mind, looked at Liu Ming and asked, "How is it, Liu? Do you still dare to vote?"

Liu Ming nodded, "Dare to vote!"

James and Vogel were secretly relieved when they saw Liu Ming's firm tone in his answer.

What they were most worried about was that Liu Ming lost his confidence in shooting because of several missed three-pointers.

Now it seems that Liu Ming also has a big heart.

Vogel nodded, "Liu, continue your style of play after you play. Once you have a chance to make a move, don't hesitate. At the same time, strengthen your defense."

Liu Ming nodded first, and then said, "Coach, please let me face Devin Booker."

Vogel glanced at Booker of the Suns and pondered for a moment.

Booker is hot right now.

Even Pop chases defense, plus other players double-team.

I'm afraid he can't limit his performance.

Especially the accurate three-pointers are often shot unexpectedly.

If you let him continue to cast without pressure.

It just keeps getting hotter.

When he fully opens up, maybe the Suns will really repeat last year's rhythm.

And Liu Mingyi is also an excellent three-point shooter, and the two have similar balls and thinking.

Second, Liu Ming has a super quick reaction talent.

If it is against Booker, it may really work wonders!

Most importantly, Liu Ming was so determined.

It's hard to imagine, maybe he has some unique method.

The enlightened Vogel thought of this and nodded, "Then you try it! If the effect is poor, let's adjust it."

The Lakers trailed by 3 points in just 10 minutes of the start.

Staples home fans are reminiscing about that game last year.

At that time, Booker made 6 of 6 three-pointers in the opening game.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers began to lose their helmets and armor, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.

Picky fans would never want to see that scene reproduced at home.

And all this anger was vented on the head coach Vogel by them at this time.

All of a sudden, there were scolding in the auditorium.

"Vogel, you will eventually pay for your stupid decision!"

"What did the Dongguo man on the 11th hit? It's shit!"

"I spent so much money just to come in and watch blacksmithing? Fake!"

"Did Vogel take a bribe from the Dongguo people to make him start?"

Of course, there are also many rational fans.

"Now only Liu's three-pointer can save the Lakers."

"But Fantastic Liu, what are you waiting for?"

on the field.

Lakers offense.

Liu Ming finally met Devin Booker.

His heart also began to boil slowly.

Devin Booker has been a relentless scoring machine since his NBA debut.

With a total of 56 points in two consecutive games, he successfully tied the scoring record for players under the age of 20 created by Kevin Durant in two consecutive games.

Subsequently, he was the youngest player to achieve 500 three-pointers in NBA history.

Score over 70 in a single game.

He scored 50+ in two consecutive games.

Only when facing such an opponent can Liu Ming's competitive spirit be aroused and his body excited.

At this moment, Liu Ming and Booker's eyes met.

The fighting spirit is burning!

Booker naturally also knew Liu Ming's miracle in the last game against the Warriors.

It's just that Liu Ming felt cold after the start of the game, and the magic wasn't there.

It made Booker not take him seriously.

this ball.

The Suns are still on defense.

Liu Ming circled the screen for a while, and quickly opened the gap outside the three-point line.

Then he easily received a pass from James.

Without even the slightest hesitation, he pulled out his hand.

Swish!
A wonderful voice sounded.

Three point hit!

The difference was reduced to 7 points.

Liu Ming shook his hands and sighed in his heart: "It's finally opened!"

The audience finally cheered again.

Seeing this, Devin Booker chose to hold the ball directly.

When the cannon boss suffers from back injuries all the year round.

As the head star of the Suns and the successor of the team leader, he must respond.

What's more, he felt hot right now.

Three points will naturally be returned by three points!

Liu Ming could guess what he was thinking at this time.

Do my part to go up to the match.

At this time, Booker faced Liu Ming and did not dodge at all.

He is 198 centimeters taller than Liu Ming, and he thinks he has a huge advantage.

Jumped directly in front of Liu Ming, and then made a three-pointer.

As a three-point shooter, even Curry is not in his eyes.

Not to mention just a yellow-skinned Dongguo!

The on-site commentary was the Lakers home field commentary, and the commentary was naturally biased towards the Lakers.

Seeing that Booker was going to shoot a three-pointer, he shook his head and said, "Oh no, Devin Booker is going to make a three-pointer..."

However, his voice did not fall.

Liu Ming also jumped up from the spot.

I saw him stepping on the ground with both feet, jumping high as if ignoring the gravity of the earth.

Then glanced out of the corner of the eye.

Then he swung his left hand suddenly.

The flight trajectory of the basketball changes instantly.

Halfway through the narrator's words, it suddenly changed.

"Perfect cover!"

"Booker's three-pointer was scored by Liu Mingmao!"

"Liu Ming blocks the cap! Oh no."

"It's a wonderful story!"

Meanwhile, the Caruso people stand on the sidelines and the ball comes from the sky.

After receiving the ball comfortably, he quickly pushes and counterattacks.

Here Kuzma rushed to the frontcourt early, and then easily dunked.

The point difference narrowed to 5 points.

Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene burst into joy.
