The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 134 Self-knowledge
"Westbrook gave the ball to Li Pu on the outside. Li Pu made a shot and the ball went in! Beautiful! This is already Li Pu's fifth goal in the second quarter!"

"Pretty!"

Sitting on a chair, Wang Xing silently waved his fists in a wordless celebration!
There is no way, after all, it is during class, no matter how happy Wang Xing is, he can only keep it in his heart.

One thing to say, Li Pu's performance in the second quarter was great!
Faced with the Mavericks' defensive strategy against him, Li Pu seized the opportunity and severely punished the opponent.

It's a pity that the Thunder still couldn't limit the Mavericks' scoring, making the difference between the two teams never widen.

At halftime, the score was 59:57, and the Thunder temporarily led by 2 points.

"Coach, I'm sorry!" Chandler apologized to Carlisle after the game.

"Sorry for what? I told you to be so defensive, and you are right!" Carlisle comforted Chandler in turn.

"Then coach, the second half?"

"The second half continues!" Carlisle wrote lightly.

"But that guy Prince scored 16 points!"

"But even if he is going to be like this, isn't the team only behind by 2 points?"

"This..." Chandler thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true!

"Continue to defend like this!"

After Chandler was appeased and left, the smile on Carlisle's face disappeared in an instant. Obviously, Carlisle was not as calm as the surface.

Li Pu's performance did exceed Carlisle's expectations, and he didn't expect Li Pu to be so accurate, and even forced Carlisle to change his defensive strategy.

Fortunately, the Mavericks performed very well on the offensive end, and the point difference between the two teams was not too big, which gave Carlisle confidence.

However, Carlisle looked at Li Pu who was talking and laughing with his teammates, and sighed in his heart: This is just a rookie, if he really keeps playing like this, I'm afraid his height will be unimaginable!
The Thunder's luck is really good, they can pick one good seed after another!

After the start of the second half, the shooting percentages of both teams dropped significantly.

The same is true for Li Pu, who made two shots in a row but failed to hit!

Now Chandler, who was still on tenterhooks, can let Li Pu shoot without any scruples.

In this way, the two teams played at 18:19 in the third quarter. After the third quarter, the Thunder continued to lead by 77 point 76:1.

Entering the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two teams has never been widened.

As the remaining time dwindled, Li Pu gradually became anxious.

For the Thunder, this game cannot be lost, otherwise they will take a huge 0:2 point difference and go to Dallas in the away game. At that time, if there is a bad one, it may be swept 4:0.

When the original time and space didn't have him, Thunderclap could win a game, why can't they win now that they have themselves?

He, Li Pu, shouldn't be the side effect player who was tested by the control variable method.

However, no matter how anxious he was, he still couldn't make a breakthrough on the field!

After the off-ball pick-and-roll, Durant attracted a lot of defense, and Westbrook took the opportunity to pass the ball to Li Pu.

Due to the sharp decline in the outside shooting rate in the third quarter, Chandler let Li Pu play more and more, and Li Pu actually experienced a "dream chasing" Green, the old man Westbrook (I always feel strange, the old man is still the young master? ) experience.

After getting the ball, Li Pu put on a shooting stance, but Chandler didn't even intend to pounce on it, and didn't even mean to extend his hand symbolically.

It's so disrespectful!
Li Pu was very annoyed, but he suppressed his anger and did not choose to vote.

He knows that his current state is not good. At this moment, there is no guarantee of shooting and rebounding at the basket. He will only lose this critical round in vain.

Therefore, Li Pu directly rushed to the basket with one step. After taking off, he faced Marion and Chandler. After fighting in the air, relying on his strong core strength and super long wingspan, he directly dunked the ball into the basket.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The fans at the scene went crazy watching this goal, this goal was so explosive!
So did Wang Xing, he covered his mouth with his hand and almost cried out!

This is a key goal. After the goal was dunked, the Thunder continued to maintain a 4-point lead.

This at least ensures that the Mavericks will not be able to tie the score in one round.

After landing, Li Pu was a little proud. He completed the crucial goal with such a bursting performance, which is simply amazing.

However, when he was about to return to defense, he saw Durant with a dark face.

"Why didn't you shoot that ball just now?"

"No, I..." Faced with Durant's questioning, Lip fell silent for a while.

"Are you afraid that you won't make a shot or do you think we can't grab a rebound?" Durant asked.

"..."

Li Pu didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart: Can I say everything?
"I don't want this to happen again! Never!"

Durant's serious look made Li Pu's heart tremble, and at the same time he realized, why is Durant so angry?
Although he scored the goal just now, he was obviously discouraged when facing the opponent's defense, and it did not play a role in changing the opponent's defense. It was tantamount to admitting defeat to the opponent's defensive strategy.

Facing an open spot, failing to make a shot and not daring to make a shot are two completely different things.

"I see!"

Li Pu just replied lightly when returning to the defense, without saying anything extra, but Durant was satisfied but nodded, he knew that Li Pu had listened.

"Why don't you dare to vote? You can vote if there is a vacancy?" Westbrook said right now.

"Self-knowledge and no brains are two different things!" Li Pu said without squinting.

"What the hell do you mean?" Westbrook suddenly exploded.

The game continued, the scores of the two teams hovered within 5 points, and the Mavericks kept the game within a catchable range.

But after all, time is passing by bit by bit, and the heart of the Mavericks players on the court will inevitably appear anxious, even the veteran drivers who have experienced many battles are still not immune.

Sure enough, Nowitzki, who had a very high shooting percentage tonight, faced Li Pu's defense again and used his signature golden rooster independent shot.
The Thunder protected the rebound and did not rush to push the fast break, but played steadily.

At this time, the score on the field is 102:98, and there is still 1 minute left. Any goal is very critical.

After Westbrook took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he began to consume time.

It wasn't until [-] seconds left on the offensive clock that Li Pu gave Westbrook a pick-and-roll, and Westbrook started.

After the pick-and-roll, Li Pu still chose to shoot outside this time, and Westbrook went inside.

No way, the pick-and-roll with Westbrook, if Li Pu doesn't play outside and cut inside, it is almost difficult to get a chance.

Both Chandler and Kidd were attracted by Westbrook's defensive attention, and Li Pu was completely empty.

At this time, Westbrook decisively passed the ball to Li Pu.

After Li Pu received the ball, he looked up at the defense. Chandler didn't ignore Li Pu's intention this time, and rushed towards Li Pu.

However, this time Li Pu didn't hesitate at all, and directly chose to make a move.

"Rebound!" Durant was very happy to see Li Pu make a decisive shot, and then ran to the basket with a very honest body, while reminding his teammates loudly.

Li Pu: You are a little too offensive!

Just when everyone was about to grab a rebound, the basketball finally hit the net hollow!
Lee Pu's mid-range jumper kills the game!
