Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 741 It's starting, Thomas is going to float!

Two days later, the Knicks successfully won the digital man at home, playing the first 10 consecutive victories.

Thomas still performed strongly, scoring 20 points and 4 assists.

After playing more than ten games, the Eastern Conference is still led by the Knicks, temporarily ranking first in record.

Followed by the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat and the Nets, occupying the top four positions in the Eastern Conference, and a certain distance from the teams behind.

The West is led by the Spurs, followed by the Thunder, Lakers and Grizzlies.

The Knicks are playing another back-to-back game. They are going to challenge the Grizzlies away in Memphis, and it is another time for Li Tian to play against his old club.

Among Li Tian's old Grizzlies teammates, only McConley and Rudy Gay remained, and Gay was still the player with the worst relationship with him.

Things are different, just four seasons have passed, this Grizzlies, there is no shadow of the Grizzlies of that year, but now the Grizzlies are even stronger, last season they just blacked out the Spurs, they can be said to be full of energy.

The Grizzlies, who have been struggling for a long time, were dumbfounded when they saw the Knicks' starting lineup at the beginning.

"What's the situation?"

"Are the Knicks really going to collapse?"

Conley looked in disbelief.

Knicks starters: Jeremy Lin, Mr. Tony, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, Jordan Jr.

Looking at such a lineup, the on-site commentator didn't know how to announce it. The two All-Star starters who co-authored the Knicks were all absent. Even Lowry, the starting point guard who came out of the Grizzlies, was directly forced to the bench.

Lowry came off the bench, and D'Antoni called it a test of the player's mentality. Let him experience the feeling of returning from the starting lineup to the bench. This is also giving him experience.

Lowry: It’s too late. I’ve been on the bench for several years, and now I’m still on the bench. I feel like I’ve fallen from the altar.

Why D'Antoni arranged this way, I have to say that he is just a show, just to give the starting players more rest time. When Lowry is on the bench, his playing time can be reduced to about 15 points. Even if he plays back-to-back, there will be no problems.

Thomas: Here comes my chance. Lowry and Mr. Tony's starting positions are not stable, and that is my chance.

With different thoughts, all players have already appeared on the stage.

"Li, is the team going to make a trade?" O'Neill knows that many teams will pull out inspections before making a trade, and the Knicks did this last season.

Sending Randolph away and returning Jordan Jr. not only cleared up the salary space, but also exchanged for a very useful backup center.

"How is it possible? We all take turns off. Those young guys definitely need more time to exercise."

He quickly shook his head and answered, definitely not saying that the team was preparing for the trade.

The game on the court is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Knicks' players who are now on the court can definitely increase their speed to the fastest.

Black and white two bears, when Randolph was injured and unable to play, Xiao Jia's dominance alone was not so strong.

After the Knicks sped up, the Grizzlies' offensive rhythm was disrupted.

Coming off the bench, the Grizzlies put OJ Mayo on the bench because of the reason for enriching the bench, and gradually narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points.

"Thomas, you go, you must not give the opponent a chance to score a lead, understand?" D'Antoni looked serious, assigning tasks to Thomas.

The arrangement of this task has to be intriguing, as long as the opponent is not allowed to overtake, there is no tactic at all.

Thomas Jr. took over the team's offensive banner, attracted Paul George's pick-and-roll, and prepared to switch positions and play Gay.He knew that in the conflict between this guy and Li Tian back then, he was going to humiliate the other party severely, so that he could gain the trust of the boss and increase his playing time.

After Gay finished switching defenses, he rushed towards Thomas immediately.

How could Thomas give Gay a chance? He accelerated his breakthrough at the moment before the switch was formed, but Gay was still a step behind. Once the speed difference occurred, the tall Gay could not catch up with Thomas' breakthrough at all.

The shorty is good at this, he can break through the opponent's armpit without a cat waist.

After the breakthrough, Xiaojia's defense had not yet been established, and Thomas made a layup!
Continue to help the team expand the point difference.

"Damn, how can this guy be so fast?"

Hollins (the head coach of the Grizzlies) couldn't help but swear, staring at the people sitting on the bench, he found that if there is anyone on the Grizzlies bench who can keep up with Thomas' speed, then only Conley One person, others don't even think about it.

After almost playing the first quarter, Hollins didn't dare to put Conley back on the field.

"A player like Thomas takes advantage of the speed difference. When facing a taller defensive player, his speed has a huge lead." The on-site DJ said.

Speed, no matter in any sport, is always the first, when you have the strongest speed, then you can ignore everything.

The reason why Iverson was so strong back then was because no matter who defended him, his speed couldn't keep up with him.

"This second-round pick definitely has the strength of the first round."

"Damn it, why did such a talented player end up in that position? Aren't the scouts of the previous team all a bunch of idiots?" The on-site commentator implicitly scolded the Grizzlies' scouts.

"Li, he's really too ostentatious." Beverly couldn't understand Thomas' arrogance. Although he was fierce, it was only aimed at his opponent.

Thomas made another three-pointer and made a quiet gesture towards the fans, which completely angered the home fans. The boos sounded all over the sky, and Thomas became more and more excited the more he listened.

"It is true, but, you have to know that a player who can contribute to the team is a good player, but there is also a prerequisite, that is, to recognize himself."

Beverly didn't understand, but seeing that Li Tian was unwilling to continue explaining, he didn't continue to ask.

Under the leadership of Thomas Jr., the point difference between the two teams was pulled back to 10 points again!
In the second half, Thomas directly replaced Jeremy Lin and became the starter.

"D'Antoni made the right decision. Thomas deserves a starting position. The Knicks' guard line is really too thick. I suggest that they need to make some trades so that the team lineup looks more reasonable."

The commentator is also a person who knows the ball very well.

In this way, against the Grizzlies with tonnage center Xiaojia, the Knicks used their speed to win the game.

The Knicks ushered in an 11-game winning streak.

"Lowry, is it hard to play as a substitute?" After the game was over and back to the hotel, Li Tian saw that Lowry was in poor condition, so he deliberately came to his room and asked.

"Yes, I don't know what I'm not doing well enough. Why, D'Antoni put me on the bench." Lowry still hasn't figured it out yet.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore, let me tell you the reason. This season's game density is very high, so no matter who it is next, it will face a rotation. Of course, it may also come off the bench, all in order to protect the health of the players .

Let you play as a substitute, not because you are not strong enough, just for your health considerations.Remember a word, to make it perish in advance must first make it crazy! "

After leaving a word, Li Tian returned to his room!

Two days later, the Knicks were a guest in Oklahoma and challenged the Thunder away.

"Lowry, I know you're not feeling well, Thomas, you come to start!" D'Antoni arranged, in his arrangement, Yao Ming is still on rotation this time, without him, with Thomas as a scumbag, he wouldn't have played at all. To think about whether the center forward can keep up with his speed, he only knows how to attack with crazy speed.

"Coach, your decision is great! I love you to death." Thomas jumped up immediately, he was a little excited, and finally he could become the team's starter.

Just as Lowry was about to say something, he was stopped by Yao Ming, who saw the twists and turns.

Knicks starting: Thomas, Mr. Tony, Li Tian, ​​Yi Jianlian, Jordan;
Thunder starting: Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins.

"I don't know what kind of data this guy can get." Seeing that Thomas is going to face Westbrook next, this is a physical monster, and it is really not that easy to get rid of.

But the first attack in the opening game, Thomas' performance, shocked Li Tian.

At the beginning, Thomas showed off his hesitant steps, continuous hesitant steps, and easily shook Westbrook, who had exploded in physical fitness.

Step back and take a three-point shot. This is an offensive skill that Thomas learned after following Li Tian every day at the beginning of the season.While proficiency is mediocre, his speed more than makes up for this weakness.

Westbrook's 1.91 meters, a huge height difference, did not bring any advantage to his defense, but became a disadvantage.

"See, you are not my opponent!" Pointing at Westbrook, he shouted.

"Shut up, you little dwarf!" Westbrook was not to be outdone.

Fortunately, the referee came up in time, and Li Tian doubted that if there was a real fight, no one would help him except him, the Knicks teammates.

Two hours later, the Knicks lost this strong matchup. Without Yao Ming's stable inside control, Thomas was another infinite defensive loophole. Teacher Tony was about to cry, and he couldn't make up for it. Hole left by Thomas.

96:104 The Knicks ushered in their first loss of the new season!
"Man, we defeated the defending champions, and the Thunder is the strongest team!" Durant roared after the game.

"What are you doing? As long as we defend against Westbrook's offense twice more, we can win. I hate losing!" Thomas Jr. was really floating. After the team lost the game, Thomas shouted loudly in the locker room.

Teacher Tony and the others are all stupid. Westbrook is your defender. If you lose the game and you yell at us, is this really appropriate?

D'Antoni saw that a conflict might erupt in the locker room in the next second, and pulled Thomas aside in time.

"Hey, the loss of a game doesn't mean anything. We have to look far away for the whole season. They are your teammates. Don't yell at them. The most important thing is that Westbrook is your defender!" D'Antoni Going crazy, there must be something wrong with this guy's brain.

Hearing this, Thomas was a little embarrassed, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
