The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 42

比赛距离结束还有最后4分15秒，火箭队以94:105落后11分。

Although the point difference is not big, according to time, there is still hope of catching up.

But in fact, after Li Pu's earth-shattering dunk, the game lost its suspense.

It can be said that Li Pu's non-human dunk has already shattered the fighting spirit of most Rockets players.

Of course, the reason why I say most is because there is still one person who insists!
That is Dayao!
Dayao hasn't given up yet!

When his teammates were about to disarm and surrender, Dayao reached out for the ball after a hand-to-hand fight with Li Pu in the interior!
What is a team boss?

Is it a high ball possession rate?
Is the core tactical position?

Is it the privilege to stand at the top of the arc and direct the dealing of cards?

Maybe both, but neither!

At least in Li Pu's view, the real boss of a team is the one who can hold the team on his shoulders and drag the team forward even when the team is in adversity or even despair!

Jordan so!Kobe so!So does Curry!
And Dayao in front of him, in Li Pu's view, is the same!
Of course, this does not mean that Dayao's strength is similar to theirs, he refers to Dayao's leadership qualities!

This kind of temperament may not represent strength, but it can make people admire!

However, no matter how hard you try, I will definitely win this battle!
At this time, Li Pu had already shaken off all the shackles in his heart, and his condition was better than ever!It's as if it's been completely reborn!
Perhaps, only at this time, Li Pu really began to adapt to the NBA!

This time Li Pu didn't go around the front to defend, which allowed Dayao to successfully receive the ball inside!

So, just like what happened before, Dayao hit Li Pu back again!
Once, twice!

Still dribbled the ball twice, leaning back twice, before the opponent's defense was completed, he came to the sweet spot and turned around with the ball.

Everything seems to be the same as before!
Facing Dayao's grab for the position, Li Pu seemed so helpless.

However, when he turned around, Dayao was surprised to find that Li Pu was not deceived by his fake moves.

Li Pu, who always liked to dance, didn't dance this time!

He raised his hands high and stood in front of Dayao.

At this time, Li Pu, in Dayao's eyes, was like a high mountain, seemingly insurmountable!

This is a feeling that Dayao has never felt before. As the tallest player in the league, he has always been the tallest person!
But tonight, for the first time, Dayao has the defender on the opposite side, and he feels so tall!

No, this is all an illusion!I can do it!

At this time, the arrow is already on the string, and I have to launch it!
Dayao chose the straight-armed hook, which was a scoring method that used to be found on Li Pu's head. He is confident that even if he is against Li Pu, he will definitely be able to score.

But at this moment, Li Pu jumped, he jumped high, raised his right arm high, and successfully caught the ball.

"boom!"

With a big hit, Li Pu blocked Dayao, and also blocked the Rockets' hope of winning this game!
Although the time has not yet ended, everyone knows that this game is over!

In the end, the score was fixed at 112:99, and the Thunder beat the Rockets away with 13 points, giving the Rockets a four-game losing streak!
Durant scored a game-high 25 points, Westbrook had 18 points and 8 assists, and Green had 15 points.

For the Rockets, Dayao scored a team-high 22 points and 12 rebounds, Martin 18 points and Brooks 18 points.

However, the most eye-catching person in the whole game was not them, but Li Pu who scored 13 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Even though he didn't score many goals, every goal was extremely beautiful. For everyone who watched the game, the most impressive goal was definitely from Li Pu.

If Li Pu is outstanding on the offensive end, then on the defensive end, he is the mainstay.

Whether it's defending Dayao alone or helping his teammates defend, Li Pu can be said to be the defensive gate of the Thunder's interior.

Although he is still very young, he started this game, and the time was still less than 30 minutes, but he received 5 fouls.

But his rapid progress still makes people sigh, the Thunder team has found a treasure again.

"Great play!" After the game, after Li Pu celebrated with his teammates, Dayao took the initiative to find Li Pu.

"Thank you, Brother Yao!"

"Fight well! In the future, you will definitely surpass me!"

Dayao's words are by no means polite. Looking at today's game, from the immature at the beginning to the super god at the end.

There can be such a big transformation in a game, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

In addition, he really hopes that some Chinese players can surpass him!
After all, being No.1 is a tiring job. If no one can surpass him in the future, doesn't that mean that Huaxia basketball is completely finished?
"I'll do my best!" Li Pu hugged Dayao and whispered in his ear at the same time.

He knew that Dayao was very close to retiring, and the Chinese basketball banner was about to fall. Li Pu knew this, and Dayao himself knew it.

Therefore, he very much hopes that someone can carry this banner.

Just looking around, Dayao found that there is no successor, and the only hope is this young player who is not as good as the basketball association's training!
After exchanging pleasantries with Dayao, Li Pu accepted an interview with ESPN.

Cassidy Hubbers is only 24 years old and only officially joined ESPN in August this year.

Youthful and beautiful, she is like a beautiful scenery on the sidelines, but at this time, she can only be used as a green leaf to set off tonight's protagonist, Li Pu.

"As a rookie, getting a double-double for the first time in your career, what do you have to say about that?"

"This is my first time, but it will never be the last time!" Li Pu has always had a sense of the camera, and he is even more comfortable in interviews.

"We can see that in the first quarter, you struggled against Yao, but in the fourth quarter, you performed very well. What adjustments did you make to make your state change so much? Big?" Cassidy asked again.

"Thanks to my teammates for their encouragement and guidance! I have a group of great teammates who have taught me a lot..."

Li Pu, who was being interviewed, did not notice the danger behind him at all.

Unknowingly, Westbrook, Harden, Lin Shuhao, and Collison quietly came behind Li Pu with a glass filled with ice water.

"……I am truely thankful……"

Before he could finish speaking, several people poured water on Li Pu's head and back of his neck at the same time.

"Ah... thank you, sir!"

Li Pu immediately dodged when he was suddenly stimulated. When he saw a few people, especially the short Lin Shuhao and Westbrook, they even jumped up and fell down, which was a bit too much.

"You guys..." Gritting his teeth, Li Pu had long forgotten how he praised his teammates just now, he just wanted to run over and hit them on the ground.

However, how could they give Li Pu a chance, immediately scattered and fled, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
