The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 7 Crisis of Trust

Wow, this pretender, Nima, can give him an Oscar, absolutely full marks, if he doesn't become a coach, he can become an actor or a politician.With this talent, it's awesome.

"Hey, that's not right, why didn't this guy mention the substitution? Why didn't he substitute me? There was no intention of substitution at all. Could it be that the timeout was called to give the players a psychological massage? Wow."

Li Ming tried his best to get to the front row, but the coach didn't even look at him, and he didn't even hold the tactical board.

Timeout ends and players enter the field.Gay served, Conley got the ball, and Paul led the defense.

"This is experience, this is the role of superstars." Barkley sincerely appreciated.

When the opponent calls a timeout, suddenly changing defensive tactics can put a lot of pressure on the opponent psychologically, and Paul obviously did it.

Conley was tightly pressed by Paul, and he had no room to shoot, so he could only pass the ball to Tony Allen who was vacant.

"Oh, not bad, the time has come back, it seems that the Clippers are going to deal with the Grizzlies in the same way they dealt with Bobby Simmons in the first half." Shaq said loudly.

Seeing that there was no one within a five-mile radius, and his teammates were all looked down upon, Tony Allen could only throw the ball hard. Unfortunately, he didn't touch anything and flew out of bounds.

"Switch to Lee."

"We need Lee!!" The fans started booing, and the FedEx Center booed. Of course, they also knew the attributes of Tony Allen, and the boos were for the coach.

The Clippers' bench also began to be unable to sit still. Seeing the good situation being reversed was a great blow to morale.

Paul is like a mountain of people on the field out of breath. The Clippers with Paul and the Clippers without Paul are simply two teams. This is not a compliment, it is a fact.

Not only can he organize offense, but he is also the core of defense, a superstar with his own system.

"Whenever I have such an aura." Li Ming hugged his head tightly and curled up on the bench, he didn't dare to look at the score anymore.

{Ding. }The familiar voice sounded subconsciously again.

{Host, you have a free skill card, please check it. }
{Open. } Li Ming exclaimed excitedly.

{Congratulations, you have obtained the step-back shooting function, and your shooting skills have increased to 91. }
"Wow, 91? Jordan, the god of basketball, is only 90." Li Ming couldn't wait to play, unable to restrain his impulse.

But the coach still didn't intend to change him, he felt as if countless ants were gnawing on him.

"Your uncle's..." He cursed secretly in his heart.

A sudden burst of boos brought him back to reality. He didn't know what happened on the field, but Gasol fell to the ground in pain and kept rolling.

Listening to the commentary on the scene, it should be that Jordan brought him down when he dunked.

"Damn, this buddy was too miserable today, he has been detained several times by Yan."

Li Ming still feels a little bit careful about his teammates. After all, he belongs to the same team. He is too embarrassing and it is not good for his own team.

Gasol's expression was distorted. From the slow-motion playback, it can be seen that he stepped on Jordan's foot when he fell. It seems that he will not be able to play for a while.

Li Ming stood up and stared straight at the coach, his expression seemed to be: "Change me, change me..."

Gasol was helped off the field, and there was warm applause in the field. Everyone liked this conscientious, low-key and introverted big man. Li Ming knew this well. He usually loves watching the NBA, and the player's personality is natural. It is clear to the chest.

"Lee, are you okay?" Hollins grabbed his arm.

"I can." Li Ming replied resolutely.His eyes are full of affirmation.

"Must play the pick-and-roll, the ball must be passed to the weak side, looking for open opportunities." Hollins is still worried.

Li Ming pressed his legs and went on the court. The current score is 73 to 57, the biggest point difference today, with 7 minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter.

"Tut him, kung fu boy." A voice came from the crowd, followed by a burst of laughter.

"Yes, yes, use your kung fu steps." Because Li Ming changed his direction greatly when laying up before, these foreigners nicknamed it "kung fu steps".

"Boy, you're out of luck now." Randy Foye stepped forward and bumped him on the shoulder.

"What a stinky fart, shouldn't Paul tell me that? What kind of onion are you?" Li Ming didn't even pay attention to him. He just shrugged and ran back to his backcourt to serve. Yes, Conley was on the court. , Conley is the first ball-holding point.

Conley held the ball, Li Ming and Tony Allen covered one left and one right, and Randolph followed behind.

Obviously, this tactic is to grab a fast break. If he can't grab it, Randolph will go in to get a position. If he goes in at the beginning, the space for breakthrough will be very narrow.This is a common tactic.

Paul mentioned going up the line to grab the ball in Conley's hands. Conley crossed to Tony Allen on the other side. Tony Allen made a simple test and then gave the ball to Randolph who happened to pass by.

Randolph took the ball to Jordan twice and then passed it to Conley on the outside again. Li Ming was closely watched by Randy Foye.

"I said, from now on you won't catch the ball." Randy said provocatively.

"Really? I will return these to you intact." Li Ming glanced at Conley, turned his back, beautifully blocked Randy behind him, quickly inserted and ran into the inside line, taking advantage of Randolph's huge size The body separated the defenders, bowed his waist, looked at Conley, and pointed to the basket with his finger.

"This kid... can he be so tall?" At that moment, Conley hesitated. What he was talking about was not Li Ming's jumping height, but Jordan's long arms. Now this ball is very important. Thinking about it, Conley still lobbed the ball in.

"Come again!" At this moment, Jordan also bypassed Randolph and squeezed into the basket, "This is my world, and I can't tolerate you foolish fools." Little Jordan and Li Ming jumped up almost at the same time .

"Who will hit the ball first. Is it Andre who is taller or Huaxia Lee who is faster??"

The two well-known hosts at the scene also started to ignite the atmosphere.Amidst the cheers of the crowd, there was a sound of "Duang", and only a loud thought was heard. Seeing that there was no hope of stopping it, Little Qiaodan directly pushed Li Ming to the ground.

"This should be very painful. I lost my center of gravity at such a high position and fell sideways." Barkley couldn't believe his eyes.

"This should be a secondary standard, it's too bad." The Grizzlies' bench questioned loudly.

The line referee and referee are watching the replay in front of the technical stage, and they are engaged in a heated discussion. Players from both sides take advantage of the situation to replenish some water. As long as Tony Allen and Randolph stay by Li Ming's side, they ask about his injury.

Li Ming twisted his body, rolled twice on the spot, bent his knees, and raised his hand to signal that he was fine.

"Thank God, I'm fine if I didn't hurt my waist." Randolph made a sign of the cross on his chest. It's hard to tell that this big black man is still a devout believer.

"Ordinary foul, two free throws." The referee gestured.

"Is this not illegal?" Barkley showed an incredulous expression.If it were in their era, it would be a fight. This is simply for hurting people, not for the ball at all.

"Andre is really lucky. Even if such a ball is a second-degree foul, it is not too much to be expelled from the field."

Li Ming got up slowly, walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath, scored the first free throw, and scored the second free throw! !

"I'm going to dunk in on you, like in the first half," he said to Jordan, laughing as he stepped back to his own half.

"Oh, really?" Jordan looked disdainful. He is a new generation of defensive champions in the league. His long arms can't frighten any players.

The Clippers replaced Paul when the ball was dead and replaced it with Crawford. The Grizzlies also took down Conley when Paul went down, replaced Gay, and continued to speed up the movement on the court. See tricks and split tricks.

Gay has the ability to hold the ball, a bit like Tegglu of the Magic. There is a new term called "point forward." Even a player with a size of three also has a passing vision.McGrady didn't bark for nothing.

"It's just that his shortcomings are also obvious, impulsive, and easy to fall into singles." Barkley said, staring at Gay on the court.

Facing Griffin's defense, Gay made a false pass and gave the ball to Randolph inside. Randolph bent over with the ball.

Li Ming rushed into the three-second zone, and Randolph turned around again to separate Randy Foye, who was behind Li Ming's buttocks. Li Ming once again faced Jordan's long arms and jumped high.

"Can he dunk the ball this time?" shouted Barkley from the commentary.

"It's really a one-sided animal. No wonder it hasn't been able to play for so many years, it can only defend."

Li Mingkong looked at Little Jordan contemptuously, with a wicked smile on his lips, and gave the ball to Guy who cut in from the bottom corner.

Guy lightly stretched the ape's arms and gently put the ball into the basket. From passing the ball to entering the basket, it was done in one go, which was picturesque! !

"Wow, it turned out that he was just passing the ball. This kid is not simple, he has a little brain, a little brain. In time, a Chinese Steve is not impossible." Barkley shook his head again and again.

He couldn't believe that such a pass came from an unknown Chinese player.

"Well done, bro!!" Gay and Li Ming celebrated with a chest bump, while Jordan stood under the basket gritting his teeth. He didn't react until Crawford called him to serve.
