The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 112 Restricting Li Pu
After the first quarter, at 15:31, the Hornets scored 15 points in the entire quarter.

Among them, Paul scored 7 points alone, but he only made 5 of 2 shots and only [-] assist. It can be seen how poorly the other players of the Hornets performed.

In the second quarter, the Thunder's offense stagnated at the beginning, and the Hornets recovered some points, but as the two sides returned to the starting lineup, the score was opened again.

Westbrook missed a jump shot, Li Pu pressed Okafor and Landry, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then dunked the ball into the basket against the defense of the two.

"Oh, Prince is crazy today, he played like O'Neill!" TNT studio, commentator Kenny Smith couldn't help shouting.

"Don't spoil O'Neal. Although he played well today, he is much worse than O'Neal!" Beside Smith was the chubby Charles Barkley, who at this time dismissed Smith's words.

"You have to argue with me. Didn't you also dislike Prince because the woman Zhao Riyue kissed the donkey's ass?" Smith joked deliberately.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not targeting anyone. As long as anyone performs well, I will praise them. If they don't perform well, I will naturally complain!" Barkley looked stern and selfless.

Don't tell me, his complexion is exactly the same as Bao Qingtian's, and what he said seems to be a little more convincing.

"He didn't perform well enough today?"

"That's because the Hornets' interior is too weak, and other playoff teams don't have such a weak interior!"

"I am quite optimistic about him, at least his performance today is enough to be praised!"

Before Smith finished speaking, Li Pu was on the defensive end, blocking Landry's throw from the front.

Following Li Pu's block, the referee also blew the whistle, and the first half ended at 38:59. The Thunder beat the Hornets by 21 points at halftime.

The Hornets also defeated the Thunder in the last game, but in this game, they have no power to fight back.

It was more demoralizing than simply being defeated.

It's like saying: We just didn't play well in the last game, as long as we are serious, you are no match at all!

"Bang!" Okafor slammed his fist on the locker room cabinet, causing the cabinet door to be dented.

"If you have strength, vent it on the field, don't get in trouble with the cabinet door!" Paul yelled at Okafor while wiping his sweat with a towel.

"Chris, don't blame him, that Prince is like a monster today, it's really uncomfortable to play against him!" Landry helped Okafor explain.

Landry is not quibbling, because he and Li Pu also have a counterpoint.

He is tall and long, he can run and jump, and his physical fitness is like an alien. In front of him, you can't even have the desire to shoot, because you know that no matter how you shoot, you can't escape his Wuzhishan .

"So? He doesn't want to match up, so I'll come instead?" Paul confronted.

"..."

Paul's words are unacceptable, especially since he is still the boss of the team, and he speaks so aggressively, and no one dares to say anything more.

Paul, who has been playing in the NBA for many years, is no longer a rookie, the younger brother who gave the other three-pointers to the "Four Heroes".

In the locker room is even more of the same.

However, everyone else could faintly feel that Paul was upset today.

In normal times, no matter how far behind the team is, Paul is calm and can even talk and laugh with everyone, which is not like today, which is serious and scary.

"What's wrong with you, Chris?" Others didn't dare to say, but Coach Williams had to ask him, if something went wrong with Paul, then the game would be completely useless.

"I-I'm fine!"

Paul shook his head, feeling something was wrong with his emotions.

Why is this happening?

After Paul thought about it carefully, Li Pu's various blocks and dunks kept appearing in his mind, but in the end it was Li Pu who appeared with a mean look and said: Look, I can't laugh anymore Bar?
Laugh at your sister!

Now Paul has found the root cause of his illness, and his feelings are still affected by Li Pu's trash talk!
This annoying guy, get out of my head now!
"Actually, you don't have to worry about him at all. I have an idea. You can try it!" At this moment, Monty spoke again, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's the idea?"

The intermission time passed quickly, and the second half of the game officially started in a blink of an eye.

Coming back, the Thunder's offense has fallen back, and it seems that it is not as explosive as in the first half.

After the two teams tested each other for a few rounds, it was Li Pu who picked and rolled and went down. The speed was so fast that he left behind Okafor who was defending him.

This time, Li Pu jumped high again, ready to perform another alley-oop to help the Thunder regain their morale.

Just as he got the ball and was about to dunk, Ariza rushed from the side and slapped himself on the arm, ruining the attack.

"Didi, Green No. 1, the thugs fouled!"

After landing, Li Pu took a look at his arm, it was red all over, good guy, this guy definitely did it on purpose, the sound just now was very crisp!
No, Li Pu didn't think much about it, if the opponent didn't foul the ball just now, he would definitely score, this is normal!

As soon as Li Pu walked to the free throw line, he saw Ibaka and Durant waiting in battle, feeling like he was going to rush out to grab a rebound at any time.

"Do you want to exaggerate more? The first free throw doesn't need to grab a rebound!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, we're just rehearsing in advance!" Durant laughed.

"Rehearsal in advance? Why don't you believe me?"

"No, we just trust you too much!" Ibaka on the opposite side also echoed at this time.

"Trust your sister! Stop looking down on people!"

Li Pu curled his lips and started to take his first penalty, "Bang!" Don't say it, the voice is quite crisp!

"This, shouldn't be!" My hand feeling tonight is pretty good, and I made 3 of 2 free throws in my previous shots!

By chance, it's all by chance!I can do it, I can do it!
Li Pu quickly put these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and made the action before the free throw again, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state.

"Shua!" Needless to say, the effect was not bad, and he actually made the second free throw.

After making the shot, Li Pu found that the players on both sides of the penalty area who were grabbing rebounds, whether they were Hornets or Thunder players, all looked ugly.

"Hey, where are you standing?" Li Pu shouted at Durant and Ibaka.

"I got it, I got it, why are you yelling so loudly?" Durant said, digging his ears.

With the Hornets Ariza hit a three-pointer, it was the Thunder's turn to attack again.

This time, after Li Pu finished the off-ball pick-and-roll for Durant, he went down again. Westbrook's pass was just right, and Li Pu got the ball and was ready to fly and dunk.

And at this moment, Belinelli actually ran over from the opposite corner, grabbed Li Pu's arm, and dragged him down with the ball.

"Didi, green number 8, pulling foul, blue number 88, two free throws!"

"Why do I have to stand on the free throw line again...huh?"

Li Pu, who was still sighing, suddenly realized something, and quickly looked at the Hornets players, seeing that there was no trace of frustration on their faces.

Good guy, they are playing hacking on themselves!
