The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 236
At this moment, Li Pu finally realized what his opponent felt.

With Cousins ​​pushing behind him, Ibaka and Durant pinching from the side, and Westbrook and Sefolosha hitting the ball from time to time, the Thunder's entire team's defense was aimed at themselves.

This kind of defense is exclusive to the boss of the team. He used to be in the Thunder, but no one defended him like this.

Lip was again flanked by Durant and Sefolosha at the same time. In desperation, Lip gave the ball to Butler.

Butler went inside with the ball and made a strong move against Cousins. Although he missed, he caused a foul by Cousins ​​and went to the free throw line!
Although Butler made 2 free throws, the score came to 8:15, and the Kings trailed by 7 points.

After the opening game, because Li Pu was crazily pinched, Li Pu had almost no chance to make a phone call. However, apart from Bledsoe and Butler, Middleton and Patterson, two pitchers from the team, went 4 for 0 and 1 for [-]. No points scored.

If you can't score, you can't open up space, which leads to Li Pu being trapped even more fiercely, forming a vicious circle.

Coach Brown off the court also frowned at this time. The pitcher couldn't make a shot. This situation is the most helpless for the coach. Obviously the tactics have been played, but they just can't grasp it.

Compared with the constipated offense of the Kings, the Thunder played very well on the offensive end.

After Westbrook came to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Durant.

Speaking of which, Middleton is considered good at the small forward position, whether it is height or defense, but it has to be compared with anyone else. It is almost impossible to expect him to defend Durant!

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of defending Durant was handed over to Butler.

During the two years with the Thunder, Butler often defended Durant, so he knew Durant well.

When Durant held the ball, Butler immediately pinned Durant with his calf, and then used his arm to interfere with Durant.

But that was Durant after all. Although Butler's defense was quite in place, Durant's sharp change of direction still made Butler stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Durant immediately pulled up a mid-range jumper. Although Butler tried his best to block the shot, with his short hands, he couldn't interfere with Durant at all.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net hollow, 17:8, and the point difference approached 9 points again.

When it was the king's turn to attack again, Li Pu no longer went inside this time, but asked for the ball at the top of the arc.

In fact, Li Pu didn't want to fight like this either. After all, playing like this was very exhausting for him. If he played a few lines occasionally, he would be exhausted sooner or later.

But right now there is no way, the point difference has come to 9 points, there is a gap in the strength of the two teams, if the opponent has opened the point difference early, then there will only be one defeat tonight!

I can't just lose my first game in the Kings!

Cousins ​​stepped on the three-point line to defend Li Pu, defending very seriously!
However, Li Pu broke through Cousins ​​in just one step!
……

This is very embarrassing.

No way, Cousins' low-post defense is really good. Even Li Pu can't please him, but the problem is that his lateral movement speed can't compare with Li Pu's!
That guy is non-human!
After passing Cousins ​​in one step, Li Pu was greeted by another iron barrel array!

Tonight the Thunder's main focus is a team fight that can be lost, and Li Pu must die!

We endured others beating us to death, but you absolutely can't!

Faced with countless hands, Li Pu had to pass the ball to Middleton who was wide open in the corner.

With such a wide open space, Middleton hesitated this time, didn't vote, and passed it back to Li Pu!

Not to mention the Thunder players didn't expect this pass, even Li Pu, who received the ball, didn't expect it either.

With such mistakes in and out, Li Pu was the first to react and quickly chose to hook, and Ibaka quickly blocked the block after knowing it.

Unfortunately, although he tried his best to jump up, he couldn't cover it, and instead hit Li Pu's arm.

"Shh!"

"Drip!"

The basketball hit the backboard and the referee blew the whistle at the same time. Two points were scored, and a penalty was added!

Although he scored, Li Pu was not happy. He angrily came to Middleton and shouted: "Why didn't you shoot that ball just now?"

"I..." Faced with Li Pu's anger, Middleton was at a loss.

Don't look at Middleton as a second-year rookie, but as a second-round pick, last season in the Pistons, he could only play 27 games a season, averaging 17 minutes per game, scoring 6.1 points, and from Never played a starter.

Therefore, Middleton, who averaged only 5.2 shots per game last season, got the third chance to shoot in only half a quarter of the game, and he didn't make the first two shots. Dare to shoot so recklessly?
Those who didn't know thought he was the core!

"Don't think about whether you can't make a shot, just shoot for me when you have a chance, this is your job, understand?"

"Understood!" Facing Li Pu's anger, Middleton couldn't bear it at all, and quickly replied.

Seeing Middleton's lack of confidence, it was difficult for Li Pu to equate him with that man.

After all, that man is a ruthless character who makes Boston children dare not cry at night. How could he be so cowardly?

At this time, Li Pu really understood, what does it mean to backfire?

No one is born strong, they must use time, sweat and energy to grow into a star!

Thinking of this, Li Pu also suddenly calmed down, and pointed to his chest in a kind tone: "Don't worry and shoot! There is a rebound under the basket!"

"Yes!"

Middleton could feel Li Pu changing his tone, but at this moment, he was only thinking about shooting, so he simply replied.

Back at the free throw line, Li Pujia made a free throw. At 11:17, Li Pu recovered 3 points at once.

Although the King climbed back from the cliff, if they can't defend the Thunder, they still can't narrow the point difference.

After Westbrook picks and rolls and breaks through the ball with the ball, Cousins, who goes down, receives the ball and prepares to vent his depression in this game with a one-handed dunk.

In his first game representing the Thunder, he played so badly, it was simply too uncomfortable!
Seeing the basket getting closer and closer to him, Cousins ​​thought to himself, he can finally score today!
But at this moment, he found that his right hand was empty, and he was actually blocked by Li Pu from the side.

After being blocked by Li Pu, the basketball hit the board. Westbrook tried his best to grab this precious offensive rebound. Although he took off again and wanted to dunk, it was Li Pu who gave Westbrook a big cap. !
This time the rebound was finally protected by Butler. He quickly dribbled through and scored the ball with Sefolosha on his shoulders!

As a former general of Thunderbolt, Li Pu was not the only one who came to Thunderbolt for revenge.

I, Butler, am also a veteran of the Thunder!
