The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 26 Finally Appearing
The Thunder called a timeout.

Seeing that the team was behind, but he didn't even have a chance to play, Li Pu could only worry.

"What are you all doing? You haven't played for a summer, so you don't know how to play?"

Brooks scolded off the court.

Although Brooks was very dissatisfied with the performance of the starters, he did not replace them. He did not have the courage of Popovich.

"Russell, it's the first time I've watched you play up close. It's better to be famous than to meet!" Lip suddenly said to Westbrook when Brooks finished speaking and the players were about to play again.

"What do you mean?" Westbrook, who was in a bad mood, was even more angry at this time.

"That Ross played much better than you, his breakthrough points are too sharp!"

"Are you blind? Keep your eyes open for me to see how I beat him!" Westbrook said angrily.

"Sorry, you said I'm blind, how can I see?" Li Pu's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool.

"You wait, sooner or later I'll dunk you!" Westbrook entered the court angrily.

Back on the bench again, Lin Shuhao whispered to Li Pu, "Why do you still provoke Russell so much on the field?"

"That guy Russell cares too much about Ross, I'll change his mind for him!" Li Pu laughed.

"Is this called changing your mind?"

"That's right! Didn't you notice that his attention has shifted from Rose to me?"

Hearing what Li Pu said, Lin Shuhao looked up at the field and saw that Westbrook was looking at Li Pu viciously, he couldn't help nodding his head and said, "It's really...but, so what? "

"Of course it is to calm down Westbrook. Only in this way can the team get back on the right path."

"That's the truth, but why can Westbrook calm down when he sees you?" Lin Shuhao looked at Li Pu's confident look, and was a little puzzled.

Before Lin Shuhao finished speaking, the Thunder team attacked again.

This time, after Westbrook came to the frontcourt, he did not immediately call a pick-and-roll, but waited for his teammates to run tactics.

"You must not let Prince laugh at you!" Westbrook glanced at Li Pu who was staring at him off the court.

Of course, what tactics can the Thunder have?It's nothing more than three goblins throwing each other.

Sure enough, at this moment, Durant used Krstic's pick-and-roll outside the ball, and Westbrook, who was already calm, immediately passed the ball to Durant.

To be honest, Westbrook's passing has actually been slumped again. Just think about a league assists leader, how could it be impossible to pass the ball?

For example, right now, the timing of the pass is just right. Durant catches the ball without making any adjustments, and shoots directly from outside the three-point line. Although Luol Deng tried his best to interfere, the ball still crossed a high arc and got into the basket basket.

"nice shot!"

On the bench, the substitute players merged with the audience and cheered loudly.

On the contrary, Li Pu, seeing Durant's goal, didn't show any expression, but his heart was already ready to move, yes, I just want to play like this!

This is my basketball philosophy, what if a center is tough and strong?After all, isn't it about to shoot in?
With Durant firing from the outside, Westbrook regained his composure, and the Thunder's offense finally returned to normal, but unfortunately the point difference was always around 10 points.

There is no way, the pits dug in the early stage are too big.

Five minutes after the start of the game, Brooks finally started to make substitutions. The first one to be replaced was Krstic. Seeing Krstic, Lip thought his chance had come.

Unexpectedly, Brooks didn't let himself, and of course he didn't let Bai Ade, but replaced Ibaka, and at the same time replaced Sefolosha with Harden, plus Westbrook, Durant and Jay Jeff Green.

This small lineup can be called the Thunder's five death squads.

It's a pity that the players in this lineup are too young and their power has not yet appeared.

Fortunately, for the Bulls, because of the absence of the "anti-bones boy" Boozer, the internal firepower was insufficient and could not cause too much damage to the Thunder's internal line.

In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Bulls led the Thunder by 28 points at 20:8.

In the second quarter, Brooks actually sent Bai Ade, but still did not let Li Pu play.

Let alone Li Pu at this time, even the many Huaxia fans in front of the TVs and computers were getting a little impatient.

"Why doesn't the Thunder let Li Pu play?"

"No way, this Aldridge has a higher pick than Li Pu, the Thunder will definitely let him play first!" Wang Xing explained to his roommate.

To be honest, this game is still very enjoyable to watch. Whether it is Thunder Three (old version) or Wind City Rose, they all attract fans when they play.

But for Huaxia fans, they still look forward to seeing players with yellow skin and black hair.

Bai Ade's performance is still not good, he played 4 minutes without scoring a point.

Facing Noah's defense, Bai Ade couldn't bear it at all, and he had no chance to attack.

After 4 minutes of doing nothing, Bai Ade was replaced.

When he left the field, his face was full of disappointment.

This is the cruelty of the NBA. Once you don't play well, even if you are a lottery pick, if you are not allowed to play, you will not be able to play.

No money will do!
Bai Ade's experience sounded the alarm for Li Pu.

If you are given a chance, you must seize it, otherwise, you may not have a second chance!

The two sides came back from the starting lineup, and the fierce battle continued. It was obviously just a regular season, but because both sides were strong defensive teams, they felt like they were in the playoffs.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 57:49. Such a score can be played even in one quarter 10 years later.

During the intermission, Brooks was still in the locker room, talking tirelessly, but the effect was really mediocre, after all, it wasn't a morale issue at all.

The Thunder's perimeter defense is very good, but they still can't limit Rose's breakthrough.

Often Rose only needs a pick-and-roll to clean people up.

Whether it's Krstic or Bai Ade, the lateral movement is too slow, let alone switching defenses, even if there is a big delay, they can't slow down Rose a bit.

The only thing that can play a certain role is to use Ibaka and Green as inside partners, but in this way, the inside height is not enough and the rebounds are not guaranteed.

What's more, Ibaka is only a second-year rookie, not the inside gate.

Of course, the Thunder are not helpless. The key is that Brooks still has not made up his mind. After all, for him, the training ground is different from the game.

The second half continued, and the Thunder continued their starting lineup.

The two teams are still fighting fiercely, but the score is not less.

In this way, until 2 minutes and 45 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Ibaka received his fourth foul.

Like Li Pu, the sophomore Ibaka defended hard, but the foul problem was also out of control.

Seeing this scene, Brooks felt a "thump" in his heart, and then looked at Li Pu involuntarily.

At the same time, Li Pu was staring at Brooks with his eyes wide open.

Although Li Pu didn't say a word, his eyes already said it all: Let me play!

"Ah!" After a fierce struggle in his heart, Brooks finally made up his mind, "Prince, you go on stage!"

Hearing this, Li Pu gave Brooks a thumbs up without saying a word, and after only three seconds, he took off his training clothes, as if he was afraid that Brooks would go back on his word.

This speed of undressing is simply a model for my generation!

"Good job, leave it to me!" Patting Ibaka's sexy buttocks, Li Pu tucked his shirt into his shorts and walked into the arena swaggeringly.

"Ibaka fouled four times. This is a serious problem for the Thunder. Who will the Thunder send next?"

"Oh? The camera is on Li Pu, Li Pu is about to play! Another Chinese is about to set foot on the NBA court!"

Suddenly, the commentary raised the volume, and the whole studio erupted.

"Oh? Li Pu is going to go, he finally did!" Wang Xing, who had been waiting all morning, was also excited.

He was finally about to see this man play!

The roommates and Wang Xing were also on the same mind, looking at Li Pu in the picture with joy and excitement.

At this time, Li Pu didn't know that the camera was on him, or he didn't have the energy to worry about that.

The moment he stood on the court floor, the shouts were mixed with sweat and breathing, as if he was in another world.

Li Pu is both nervous and excited, but more of anticipation, I'm coming to the NBA!
