The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 234 Team Lineup
Li Pu gave the ball to Bledsoe.

After Bledsoe brought the ball to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Li Pu.

At this time, the audience realized that something was wrong. Li Pu did not catch the ball in the low position as usual, but stood directly outside the three-point line.

What charter is this?
Bogut faced Li Pu and received the ball in this position, and the defensive position was very close.

No way, last season, Li Pu's three-point shooting rate has reached more than 40%, averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game.

Don't think that being [-] meters tall is not a three-point shooter.

Seeing this situation, Li Pu just put on a shooting posture, and Bogut flew away.

Bogut didn't want to take off so rashly. Li Pu is really too high. If you don't jump, he really dares to shoot and can really score!
Seeing Bogut being shaken, Li Pu quickly broke through, and with just one step, Bogut was wiped clean.

However, this is only the first line of defense.

The Warriors have now established a very complete defensive system under the leadership of Mark Jackson.

Especially Iguodala on the wing, with his experience, he almost seamlessly joined the Warriors.

He retracts quickly while reaching out to tackle Li Pu, the timing and angle are perfect.

Seeing that he was about to break the ball from Li Pu, Li Pu pulled the ball behind his back with his right hand and dribbled the ball behind his back, easily getting rid of this crisis.

Immediately afterwards, David Lee was already in front of Li Pu. In this case, Li Pu actually chose a fadeaway jumper.

No, you are going too far!
Height [-] meters, are you playing back with me?Is that necessary?
In this case, David Lee had no choice but to pray that the basketball would not go in.

No way?You don't expect me to block it, do you?What are you kidding?
"Shh!"

It's a pity that God didn't hear his prayer. It may also be because this is Huaxia and God is not in the service area. In short, the basketball hit the net hollow.

"hiss……"

The fans who saw this scene all gasped.

Li Pu, a big center, plays like a guard?This kid is so terrifying?
The reason why the fans were surprised was not just that Li Pu showed such an ability, but more importantly, they had never seen it before.

When he was in the Thunder, Li Pu was more focused on low-post offense and outside fixed-point jumpers, and rarely attacked outside with the ball.

In fact, during these three years, Li Pu never stopped training his dribbling skills.

It's just that the Thunder's tactics are quite mature, and their style of play is similar to that of Westbrook and Durant. The team doesn't have that many possessions at all, and there is no need for Li Pu to play like this.

But it was different for the king. At this time, the king was like a blank sheet of paper, and he could let Li Pu splash ink and ink as much as he wanted.

Now, the three-year period has come, it's time for Li Pu to show his real skills!

Li Pu's first goal in the opening game obviously disrupted the Warriors' defensive rhythm.

In their original plan, they were going to put Li Pu into the low post, and then carry out a flanking attack to force Li Pu out of the ball.

But now Li Pu is holding the ball outside the three-point line, which is not easy to pinch!
And when the Warriors attacked, they found that it was also not easy to play.

This Warriors team is obviously an outside offensive team, but the Kings have two guns in the backcourt, regardless of offense, the defense is top notch!
Bledsoe's speed, Butler's toughness, these are things the Warriors hadn't thought of before.

After all, before this time, Bledsoe was the Clippers' substitute, and Butler was the Thunder's substitute. The two didn't have much chance to play on weekdays. Not many people in the league really know the strength of the two.

Sure enough, in the Warriors' first attack, Curry gave Thompson a back pass, but Butler saw through and completed the steal.

In the fast break, Butler was originally the one with the fastest reaction, but Bledsoe's speed was actually faster than Butler.

Seeing this, Butler didn't want to attack, and directly threw the ball into the sky. Bledsoe, who is not tall, bounced at an amazingly fast speed. He leaped high and caught the ball with both hands in the air to complete a dunk!

This scene fell in Curry's eyes, showing a slow envy. Obviously, Jinzhou LaVine's DNA has moved!

In the following game, Curry missed a three-pointer. After Li Pu received the rebound, he did not pass the ball, but advanced from the backcourt as a center holding the ball!

Everyone has never seen this scene.

The Warriors players were about to get angry.

Brother, even in the preseason, you can't play like this, can you?

Don't take us seriously!

So immediately, Thompson fought back on the spot, trying to steal Li Pu's ball.

But now Li Pu's ability to handle the ball is no longer what it used to be. Facing Thompson's defense, he even directly passed Thompson with a crossover.

That proficient breakthrough skill is completely unlike a person who has never shown this ability!

After passing Thompson, Li Pu's speed did not decrease, and he went all the way into the penalty area.

Seeing that Li Pu was about to force himself, Iguodala hurriedly stepped forward to block him, but Li Pu turned around again and completely missed Iguodala.

Then after taking a big step, he took off and split the buckle with one hand!
"Ahhhh!"

For a time, the whole scene was boiling!
Li Pu's attack is simply amazing!

If in the past, the fans were still worried that Li Pu would not be able to take the position of team boss, now they believe that as long as Li Pu plays according to the standard of these rounds, the boss will be easy to catch?

At the beginning of the game, the Kings continued to attack, which did cause a lot of shock and trouble to the Warriors, but compared to the players, the players have seen big winds and waves. What scenes haven't they seen?

Uh, except for the dragon Li Pu, because they have never seen it before!
But having said that, the Warriors are a strong team after all. Although the Kings led by 13 points in the first quarter, the difference between the two teams began to narrow rapidly as the two sides sent substitutes.

After all, the preseason game is not a regular game, and no one cares about the outcome of the game. After the first half, both sides basically played on the bench throughout the second half.

The final score was fixed at 118:103, and the Kings were defeated.

Although the game was lost, judging from the performance of the king's main lineup, people are still full of expectations.

After that, the two teams held another match in Pengcheng. At 122:119, the Kings lost again and ended the Huaxia preliminaries with two losses.

Shortly after, six preseason games ended, and the Kings were 1-5, a very poor record.

Many fans expressed concerns about the Kings' record in the new season, but Li Pu has always been full of confidence. As long as they have enough time to accumulate experience, he believes that this Kings team will definitely shock the entire league.

With the end of the preseason, the team's final lineup has also been determined:
PG: Eric Bledsoe, Isaiah Thomas, Seth Curry

SG: Jimmy Butler, Marcus Thornton,

SF: Khris Middleton, James Johnson, Robert Covington

PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Patrick Patterson, Terras Outlaw

C: Lee Pu, Jason Thompson
