The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 8 Maybe it's time to give this kid a new contract

The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the court.

With the Nets' possession of the ball, Daluo directly reached out for the ball under the basket.

From the start to now, not only did he not get a single rebound, but he didn't even score.

But after the ball was transferred to Yi Jianlian, I don't know if he didn't see Daluo asking for the ball, or if he deliberately refused to give it.

Yi Jianlian still shot the ball by himself.

"Shh!"

After hitting the third mid-range shot, Yi Jianlian, who had a bitter face, finally smiled.

Li Xun became speechless, is his defense really that bad?
It even made Yi Jianlian hit three consecutive hits on himself.

But he didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, as long as he can protect the rebounds, the possibility of losing against a team like the Nets is not that high.

In the next few minutes, Da Luo went completely crazy.

I really can't catch a single rebound.

A top rebounder like David Lee is not enough for Li Xun, let alone a second-rate rebounder like him.

As for the offensive end, it made him even more uncomfortable.

Except for outside shots, the ball was finally passed inside, and Yi Jianlian cut off all of them.

If Yi Jianlian can't score, then he has every reason to force Yi Jianlian to pass the ball.

But Yi Jianlian's hit rate is really high.

Only half of the first quarter was played, but Yi Jianlian had scored 5 of 4 and scored 8 points.

And Li Xun has already scored 3 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the CCTV commentary room, both Xu Jicheng and Yu Jia were dumbfounded.

They suspected that they were hallucinating. Are these two people really Lian Mei and Ruan Li?
Yi Jianlian averaged only 9 points per game this season, and now he has scored 6 points in 8 minutes.

As for Li Xun, he has already proved with his own strength that the 21 rebounds he got in the last game was definitely not luck.

He really has a rebounding strength against the sky.

Just as shocked as these two commentators were the domestic fans.

They really can't describe how they feel at the moment.

I have been complaining about Yi Jianlian and Li Xun before, purely because these two people are too disappointing.

Now the performance of the two on the court is absolutely impeccable.

Why don't they hope that besides Yao Ming, there will be another first-line star in the NBA.

The game on the court passed by every minute and every second.

Until the 10th minute of the first quarter, the cooldown of Li Xun's three-point must hit potion ended.

Because the timeout was counted, Li Xun could hit at least six three-pointers tonight.

Pistons possession.

Iverson missed the shot, and after Li Xun grabbed the offensive rebound, he passed it directly to McDyess who was on the court.

Next, what left McDyess speechless was that Li Xun just ran towards the three-point line in a daze.

"Give me the ball!"

Li Xun raised his finger to the sky and asked McDyess for the ball.

If it was replaced by other second-round rookies, McDyess would definitely treat it as air.

But Li Xun is different. The last game and this one have shown the potential to become the core of the team.

A veteran like himself might still have to rely on Li Xun's breath in the future.

So facing Li Xun's request for the ball, McDyess passed it without hesitation.

Although he didn't know why Li Xun went crazy, why he ran outside to catch the ball.

After receiving the pass, Li Xun did not rush to make a shot.

Instead, he directly hooked Da Luo at the basket, which was full of provocation.

Da Luo also suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck, and met Li Xun, who was not stingy.

After all, he was a young man. Seeing Li Xun provoke him, Da Luo left McDyess and rushed towards Li Xun.

Yi Jianlian had no choice but to switch defenses with Daluo, and he couldn't leave McDyess alone.

Just when Da Luo rushed forward, Li Xun quickly took a big step back, widening the distance between himself and Da Luo.

Next, at a position two meters away from the three-point line, he made a three-pointer!

This step-back three-pointer was not so smooth, it even looked a little lame.

Absolutely none of the beauty of those top perimeter stepback threes.

But this seemingly crappy three-pointer was a neat hollow goal.

The more than [-] fans at the scene were dumbfounded again.

They got to know each other thoroughly tonight.

When they thought that Li Xun was a traditional blue-collar insider, Li Xun slapped them in the face with two miraculous three-pointers.

Can a blue-collar insider shoot this kind of three-pointer?

Let alone two shots in a row, I'm afraid they won't even dare to make shots.

Big Ben entered the league in 96, and it has been twelve or three years since he played. As a result, he only took five three-pointers in total.

After scoring the goal, Li Xun shook his head and smiled at Daluo.

Although he didn't say a word, this kind of disdainful affection made Da Luo even more mad.

Seeing this scene, the veterans of the Pistons were a little dumbfounded.

Compared with Li Xun, a newcomer, these veterans are not quite like Pistons players.

The first-generation Pistons bad boy army, including the "King of Bad Boys" Lambiel, the chief villain Rick Mahon, Rodman and others.

Just standing on the court and doing nothing is enough to intimidate their opponents.

The current Li Xun has just shown his talents, and there is nothing to be seen yet, but just this irritating energy, it is a bit like the first generation.

"Li Xun!"

"Li Xun!"

All the fans at the scene chanted Li Xun's name. They hadn't seen a player who looked so much like a Pistons player for some years.

At this moment, Michael Curry called a timeout and replaced Li Xun.

Today, he is a prickly ass, and his eyes are opened.

Dare to love his own bench, such a great god has been sitting there.

If the first three-pointer was entirely due to luck, then the second three-pointer is enough to prove Li Xun's three-pointer strength.

Now Michael Curry has begun to plan in his mind, whether to design some three-point offensive tactics for Li Xun.

After all, such a precise three-point shooting technique seems a bit wasteful not to use it.

But after thinking about it, compared to three-pointers, what the Pistons lack more is rebounds.

At present, it is more cost-effective for Li Xun to grab rebounds honestly.

In the blink of an eye, in the middle of the second quarter, Li Xun on the field repeated his old trick, stepping back from outside the three-point line and hitting a three-pointer.

Originally, the Pistons were at a great advantage.

Coupled with the icing on the cake of this three-pointer, the Pistons have already led by [-] points before the first half ended.

At the end of the halftime, the Piston generals surrounded Li Xun, looking up and down carefully.

They found that they could not understand Li Xun more and more.

半场时间里，登场了18分钟，砍下了9分17篮板5助攻，其中三分球3中3 ，另外17个篮板中有着足足8个进攻篮板。

Are you sure this is a player with a two-way contract, the stats he played?

"Michael, I think we might have to offer the kid a new contract."

"I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and hear the news that this kid has been poached by another team."

Hamilton's half-joking coach Curry said.

After hearing this, Michael Curry stared at Hamilton resentfully, secretly scolding this guy for being talkative.

Isn't this reminding Li Xun that he needs a big contract with the team?

However, Hamilton's words also have some truth, because Li Xun's two-way contract, he really has the right to take the initiative to terminate the contract after tonight.

Based on Li Xun's performance in these two games, no matter which team he goes to, his annual salary will not be lower than that of the middle class.

You must know that Kwame Brown last season had an annual salary of 900 million US dollars.

Judging from the performance of these two games, there is probably two or three Kwame Brown distances between Kwame Brown and Li Xun.

So Hamilton is right, maybe they should really consider giving Li Xun a new contract.
