Chapter 71 Are You Serious?

When you think of New Orleans, everyone thinks of grilled wings, famous all over the world.Come here, you don't eat grilled wings, people may ask you: "what the hell are you doing?"

When it comes to basketball, there's something to be said here as well.Because it's home to an Ultimate League team, the New Orleans Waterfowls.In recent years, the Waterfowls have reached the playoffs twice in three years, thanks to a successful draft that drafted cornerstone player Duruk Melsa.

Du Luke is an insider with his own defensive system. He won the Olympic gold medal with the Dream Team in 12, and then won the World Championship gold medal in the third year of his career, and was selected to the first team of the Ultimate League that year. new star.

Injuries have slowed his savage growth.No one will deny that he is already one of the most powerful insiders in the league. This year has ushered in the peak of his career, averaging 26 points, 13 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, ranking in the top four in the MVP rankings for several consecutive months.

Such a team, such an opponent, is the first enemy of the Kings on this road trip.

That night, the New Orleans Arena.

This game also aroused heated discussions in China, and the objects of heated discussions were Jing Qi and Du Luke.When Jing Qi was in China, he was known as the domestically produced Duruke. Now that the domestically produced Duruke will play against the genuine version, how can the media and fans not be excited?

In the player channel, everyone has a relaxed expression. This year, the Kings have a very high winning percentage against the Pelicans. They have won the previous two games.Merris will explode when he meets Duruk, which has something to do with the style of play of the two. Merris' offense tends to be the traditional inside low-post strong play, which is the weakness of Duruk's defense.

"Today, Merris met his favorite Duruk Melsa again." Wang Weiyu said with a smile.Merris said: "Give me the ball as much as possible, and I will show that guy how the real inside plays basketball." "It's very confident, Merris." Raglan said.

Kelsen smiled and said, "You seem to be in a good mood." "Naturally, I met a beautiful blonde on the way here." Raglan said intoxicated.

"How to say?" Everyone looked at him curiously.

Raglan really regarded himself as a gentleman, and said gracefully in a speech tone: "She came to me in a peerless posture, just like this night, with a clear sky and stars, she is the most wonderful person, only like I can only meet such an elegant gentleman, I exchanged contact information with her, and, she will come to see me play."

"It seems that Merris is not the only one who will blow up the Pelicans today, let us create opportunities for Raglan together." Wang Weiyu stretched out his hand, and the hands of others stacked up, "Thank God, let us meet here, Thank God for our unyielding souls, we will dominate the night and walk away with our heads held high."

"Emperor Team~~~~" "WIN!!!!"

Tonight's live broadcast will be broadcast live across the United States by Ultimate Alliance TV, and the commentary team is also strong enough, including Shaq O'Neal, Grant Hill, and Isaiah Thomas.

"Shaq, what do you think are the highlights of tonight's game?" Hill asked indifferently like a modest young man.O'Neill twisted his sausage mouth and said, "I think the confrontation between Merris and Drucker will become the keynote of this game. Whoever is more ruthless will win, that's all." Merris has performed wonderfully when he met Duruk this year, and there will be no surprises tonight. His style is more like an inside line. The powerful low-post attack is the most troublesome attack for Duruk, and he will suffer a lot. Yes," Thomas said.

During the warm-up before the game, Duruk walked to the midfield and shook hands with Merris, "I hope the air in New Orleans makes you feel comfortable." "It's very comfortable here, and I will often come to play during the offseason." say.Duruk smiled and said, "Today I will play a good game." "I will play better than you." Merris said.

Jing Qi was warming up at the side. In China, he was the focus of this game. He was absent from the first two matches this season. Therefore, this was the first time he and Duruk faced each other.

As always, Jing Qi was sent to jump the ball.After training for most of the season, he is already the top jumper in the league.The condition of height and wingspan is there, it is a natural advantage of the jump ball, at first some physical fitness men will take advantage of the loopholes, but later, Jing Qi takes advantage of his own advantages, and he will be in every position.

Today's jump ball with Duruk also used his height advantage to hit the ball into the hands of his own players.

The waterfowl team's lineup has changed from the previous two games.They let blue-collar insider Mir Siko single-handedly defend Merris.Mill's defense is not very good, but against Merris, he does not suffer from weight, which is enough.

Merris gets a chance, no matter who is behind it, just put up and do it.Two times in a row, take a false step with your left foot, and lift the ball with your right hand.

"Meris hasn't found the touch yet." Shaq shook his head and said, "Facing a guy like Mir, he just goes in and dunks and it's over. Why use a hook?" "Shaq, he doesn't have your weight." Er reminds.Shaq is still dissatisfied, "The current inside play is too gentle."

The Waterfowl team ran out with a set of tactics, and the ball was transferred to the hands of three outsiders. The last shot was completed by Du Luke who cut out from the basket.

Jing Qi followed, holding up his hands in deterrence.It didn't work. Duruk didn't pay attention to his defense at all. He pushed him away with his chest and forced a layup.

"Don't worry about that guy." Wang Weiyu said to Jing Qi, "Give Raglan a pick-and-roll." "Okay." Jing Qi ran up proactively, went to Raglan and muttered a few words.

Wang Weiyu waited and watched for a few seconds, pretending to play singles with the ball, while the tactics on the other side were carried out quietly.

Jing Qi was originally standing in a high position. When Raglan ran past, Jing Qi turned around to block Raglan's opponent and help him get an open space.As soon as Raglan was empty, the ball came, "Good shot, look at me, beautiful Jessica, this ball is dedicated to you!"

"Shua!" Raglan turned around excitedly, and blew a kiss to the auditorium.

This move was regarded as a provocation, and immediately, boos from the audience rang out for him.In the audience, a beautiful blonde screamed excitedly, as if she knew why Raglan was like this.

"Is it her?" Wang Weiyu asked with a smile.Raglan asked: "Pretty, isn't it?" "Very beautiful." Wang Weiyu smiled and said, "Move more, I will give you my ball at any time." "I'm waiting for your words." Raglan became more and more excited .

Raglan's counterpoint is called Bertha Peters.His technical style is scoring. He is a full-fledged scoring machine. When he first entered the league, he was even trained as a core player. After two years of training, the team found that God only gave this guy some offensive talent. Defense is something that cannot be seen in him.

However, his ball-handling singles are among the best in the league, and this is where he relies on to gain a foothold in the league.

"Bang bang!" Raglan couldn't stop him, and was overtaken by an acceleration.Bertha had discovered Jing Qi's movements, so he changed his mind and ended the attack with a jump shot.

"4 to 3, the Waterbirds' Bertha scored a jumper." Shaq said: "If this guy's defense is half as good as his offense." Hill said: "If his defense is half as good as his offense, it's also good." Won't be a starter for the Shorebirds." Thomas agreed, saying, "He's an All-Star offensively, defensively."

Raglan cursed secretly, "Damn it, it's my fault!" "It's not your fault, keep moving, remember my words." Wang Weiyu said.Raglan made an OK gesture and rushed to the frontcourt.

Mallory stood at the top of the arc, arms outstretched, "W, I'm not going to let you score 30 points today."

"For victory, 30 points are neither sufficient nor necessary." Wang Weiyu said.Mallory was dumbfounded.Seeing him like this, Wang Weiyu knew that this was a guy who fell asleep in math class, "Well, I mean"

Raglan twisted back and forth in the middle line, suddenly rushed out from the right, and the outside line opened his hands for the ball.

In fact, the moment he ran out of the three-point line, Wang Weiyu threw the ball, and when he looked, the ball was in his hands, "Does it feel so good?"

"Shua!" After scoring twice, Raglan stretched out two fingers and said with a smug smile: "Bersha, if you score a goal, I will return a three-pointer. Believe it or not?" !” Bertha yelled.

"Bertha's defense is terrible, and this will cause a lot of trouble for the Daigo team's defense." Shaq said: "The Pelicans have to solve this problem."

Thomas said: "It's not just Bertha's defense, Raglan is a very confident shooter, the bad thing is, he was super excited today, which is bad news for the Pelicans, what happens when you get a good shooter excited , the Braves have proven it countless times.”

Bertha didn't want to show weakness, and wanted to play singles. Of course, Raglan couldn't keep up with him.The Kings do their tricks and let Raglan lure Bertha into their trap.

Jing Qi suddenly ran out from the weak side, stretched out his long arms, and finally touched the basketball with his fingertips.Bertha yelled inwardly, "Rebound!"

"Bang!" The basketball popped out from the back of the basket, and before it hit the ground, Duruk jumped into the air, grabbed the backboard with his long arms, and swung it into the basket with his backhand, "Meris, I never talk empty words .”

Merris frowned, Jing Qi raised his eyebrows, and all the players of the Emperor team looked at Duruk, "Are you serious?"
