The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 37

The basketball bounced high on the rim, and Li Pu wanted to jump high to grab the rebound, but he was easily knocked into the air by Dayao, and the basketball naturally fell into Dayao's hands.

Then Dayao wanted to make a layup, but Li Pu stuck it up again. His footsteps were very fast, and he could return to his original defensive position in almost a moment.

"Snapped!"

"Shh!"

"Drip!"

Li Pu hit Dayao on the wrist with one hand, the referee blew the whistle, and the hitter fouled, but the ball still went in, 2+1!

At this moment, Brooks made a substitution gesture on the sidelines, replacing Li Pu with Krstic.

At this time, only 4 minutes after the opening, Li Pu received his second foul.

"It's okay, you've worked hard!"

Looking at Li Pu who was downcast after the game, Lin Shuhao comforted him.

"Work hard for a fart!"

Although Lin Shuhao knew that Li Pu was not scolding him, but talking about himself, but seeing Li Pu who was so depressed, he couldn't help but said: "In this alliance, there are not many people who can defend Yao alone! "

In fact, Lin Shuhao's words are conservative, what do you mean there are not many people?Obviously no one!
That's right, Dayao at his peak was so domineering!

In the league, there is one center forward who counts as one. Who dares to say that he can defend Dayao alone?
Even Howard, the number one center in the league, dare not say this!

He dared to be wrong, but what happened?

Isn't it because Dayao eats, sleeps and beats Warcraft!
Miserable old!
Of course, this does not mean that Dayao is invincible.

Generally, when the team defends Dayao, they often use pincers, or pinch the outside line, and do not give Dayao a chance to catch the ball or make a single shot.

Then on the offensive end, create defensive pressure on Dayao and consume his physical strength. After all, Dayao is not a player with high endurance attributes.

Therefore, it has been a long time since Dayao has encountered a top player like Li Pu tonight.

So, "Shua!"

With the free throw, Dayao scored 4 points on 3 of 3 shots in 7 minutes.

However, with Krstic replaced and the Thunder's defensive tactics changed, Dayao's shots dropped sharply in subsequent games, and the Rockets' offense gradually shifted to the perimeter.

"Do you understand?" At some point, Collison had quietly sat beside Li Pu.

"what?"

"Sometimes you don't have to care what the coach thinks!"

"I didn't!" Li Pu flatly denied it.

"Maybe it's just that you don't think so! In fact, in the match just now, let alone the coach, even I can see that you are very afraid of making mistakes, your actions are a little cautious, and you really want to prove yourself, even going to defend Dayao alone... …Don’t deny it, in fact, neither the coach nor the teammates are afraid of you making mistakes at all! The important thing is whether you have the courage to continue fighting.”

"Aren't you afraid of making mistakes?" Li Pu was a little puzzled.

For a long time, although Li Pu has watched many games, he has actually played very few games.

What professional players should do on the court can only be explored through their own ideas.

In his view, a player cannot make mistakes on the court, because making mistakes means that his team will bring the danger of losing points and give the opponent a chance to score.

However, Collison said at this time, don't be afraid of making mistakes, which conflicts with his basketball philosophy.

"Man is not a machine, no one is free from mistakes on the court!" Collison continued to explain: "The most important thing is that you have to dare to face him! Pay attention to him but ignore him!"

"Attention and neglect?" Li Pu chewed on these words repeatedly, always feeling that he had understood something vaguely.

"Also, don't be afraid that you are not as good as others. You must call your teammates for help, just like Nenad!" Collison said, pointing to Krstic on the field.

Li Pu looked around and saw that Kostic was standing in front of Dayao at this time, sitting on Dayao's lap with his buttocks, leaning back and raising his hands at the same time, interfering with the outside pass to Dayao. ball.

"Help, help!" Kostic shouted loudly, and the teammates around him were ready to come over to help defend at any time.

This is a standard defense around the front, all the technical moves and points, coaches Collison and Bryant have taught him, but he just didn't use it once on the court.

In the end, in this round, Brooks did not pass the ball to Yao, but chose to shoot from the outside. The shot missed, Krstic blocked Yao, Durant took off the rebound, and the Thunder counterattacked and scored. .

"Do you understand?" Collison asked again.

Li Pu nodded.

"Actually, I know that you are very proud in your heart, but on the court, it is also very important to admit your own shortcomings. Only when you truly realize that you are inferior to your opponent can you help the team more effectively!" Collison said earnestly.

"I understand!"

"It's good if you understand..."

"So, this is the mentality you summed up after how many times you were beaten up?"

"How much...huh?" Collison came back to his senses, looked at Li Pu with a smirk on his face, and immediately wanted to go up and smash his mouth.

You said this is a handsome guy, why did he grow a mouth?

Two minutes after Li Pu went off the field, Dayao was also replaced.

After all, Dayao has just returned from injury, and his condition is still recovering, so it is impossible for him to play for too long.

In this way, after the first quarter, the Rockets led by 28 points at 26:2.

It was not until 2 minutes and 33 seconds into the second quarter that Li Pu reappeared.

At this time, Dayao had not returned yet, and Li Pu was facing Chuck Hayes, yes, this 198cm-tall Rockets backup center.

As soon as he came back, the Thunder attacked, Westbrook got the ball at the top of the arc, and Li Pu raised it to Westbrook for a pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Li Pu quickly went down and went straight to the penalty area.

Without Dayao sitting in the penalty area, the Rockets' ability to protect the basket has not declined a little.

Westbrook hits the center pass, always good, and he throws the ball high into the sky.

"Your uncle, are you planning to hit Superman by throwing it so high?"

Seeing the height of the basketball, Li Pu scolded his mother in his heart while jumping high, once surpassing the height of Jordan Hill's forearm who was helping to defend him, and received a pass from Westbrook.

Li Pu's big hand allowed him to grab the ball tightly with one hand, then he swung his arm and threw it towards the basket. He was about to complete the dunk on Jordan Hill, rounding it up, and completing the dunk on Jordan.

But at this moment, a figure jumped out of the crowd and hit Li Pu directly on the arm.

It was Hayes.

Although this guy is not tall, he has a lot of strength, which directly deformed Li Pu's dunk.

The ball was missed, but the referee blew his whistle and the thug fouled.

Li Pu, who landed on the ground, saw Hayes, who was a head lower than him, but able to destroy his dunk, his eyes flashed with surprise.

Sure enough, there are not many good people who can survive in the NBA.

However, fortunately, he didn't block himself, it was just a foul, and he could still score free throws...

Wait a minute, I'm going to make a free throw next time?
Thinking of this, Li Pu's expression changed dramatically.

　Happy New Year everyone!
　　I just wrote about the Huaxia Derby on New Year's Eve, which can be regarded as a small occasion!

　　I also wish everyone a fortune, and then give me a reward!

　　Alas, let’s not talk about it, the hard-working author has to continue to work and code words, more tired than usual! !
