The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 162, Best Rookie?

On January 2009, 1, there are not many games in the NBA today, only 8 games, the most eye-catching of which is undoubtedly the game between the Ohlahoma City Thunder in the West and the Dallas Mavericks.

The last game the Thunder played against the Jazz can be described as shocking.

Therefore, for today's game, the members of the TNT commentary team, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Reggie Miller all sat by the camera and made a national live broadcast commentary for this game.

The thunder broke out in the last game. Westbrook, Durant, and Li Senlin played against Deron Williams and Paul Millsap. TNT also paid attention to the Thunder.

The reversal and anti-reversal of the last game brought climaxes to the audience, and the heartbeats of the head coaches of both sides kept beating.

The two teams scored more than 260 points in total. First, Millsap and Deron scored 40 points in a row in the last 12 seconds of regular time, smoothing the Thunder's 7-point lead.

In the overtime game, it was the Thunder's turn to fall behind by 34 points in the last 6 seconds. This time, Li Senlin scored 4 consecutive 3-pointers in the final game, killing the opponent and winning the game.

The game against both sides was brilliant, the Thunder's three stars shined in the audience, rookie Li Senlin broke his personal career high, and at the same time broke his own rookie scoring high for this year.

……

broadcast room.

"Reggie, Charles, the best rookie of the East and West in December just came out. Guess who they are?" Kenny Smith said.

Reggie Miller, who was sitting on the sidelines, was very cooperative and didn't think about it, so he said directly:
"Well, in the east, it should be Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley of the Chicago Bulls. In the west, it should be on the field of today's game, haha"

"Do you still need to guess? The East is the Bulls, Rose, what is Beasley, a dude, in the West, Westbrook, although I also like Li Senlin, but he is too soft, so I prefer Be optimistic about Westbrook, haha, I like his passionate style of play."

Charles Barkley chimed in impatiently.

"Kenny, don't be so secretive, talk about it quickly." Reggie Miller urged.

"Well, haha, Derrick Rose in the east and Lee Forest in the west."

Kenny Smith spoke up quickly.

"The quality of this year's rookies is good. Rose, Beasley, OJ Mayo, Love, Gordon, Westbrook, and Li Senlin have performed very well in their respective teams. It seems that the best rookies are here. arose out of it."

"Well, yes. China's Li's sudden emergence has put a lot of pressure on the No. 30 pick. You know, Li is a second-round pick. [-] teams have a chance to win him in the draft, and Presti Unique vision."

"Oh, look at the rookies of the Thunder, KD, Westbrook, Lee, all three have the potential to become superstars, and Scott Brooks' training ability is also good, giving full play to the best advantages of these three."

"Well, let's take a look at today's game and see how these three little guys will perform."

In the discussion of several awesome commentators, the game is about to start.

In this game, Li Senlin still sits firmly on the bench.

Li Senlin's outstanding performance in the last game strengthened Brooks' tactical thinking.

Putting Li Senlin on the bench is really easy to use.It was unimaginable in the past that the Thunder's second team could not lose against a second team as strong as the Jazz.

In the past, the Thunder's second team time was the hardest hit area for losing points. It is no exaggeration to say that because of the weak second team, the Thunder lost more than half of the games that should not have been lost.
Since Brooks put Li Senlin on the bench, he found that Li Senlin played more calmly and confidently.

Just need to put Durant + Westbrook + Li Senlin's scoring lineup at the critical moment, then the Thunder can not be discouraged at all against the teams that were strong in the playoffs last season. If the three of them break out together, it is enough for all players The team is timid.

Brooks is becoming more and more aware of the horror of this trio. It seems that no matter which player is on the other side, when they face Durant and Westbrook, they will fall behind in the talent competition with the two of them.

Then there is Li Senlin, who is extremely explosive on the side of the Thunder. Brooks began to understand why many head coaches envied him, and now he thinks about it, and he is a little proud.

After winning the Jazz, Scott Brooks is now even more confident. Next season, as long as there are a few more powerful veterans, he will have a great confidence in making the playoffs.

The game has already started.

Li Senlin sat in the best viewing position and began to observe.

The starting lineup for the Mavericks is Dirk Nowitzki, one of the Three Musketeers, Josh Howard, the elderly Jason Kidd, Antoine White, and Eric Dampier, the second center in the NBA.

The Thunder's starting lineup is similar to the previous game, Durant, Westbrook, Jeff Green, Watson, Collison.

The head coach of the Mavericks is Rick Carlisle. He looks exactly like Jim Carrey and is very bookish. He is a gentle coach who pays attention to skills and tactics and respects players. He is a typical Virginia college coach.

The Mavericks are a defense-focused team. The last time the Thunder went to Dallas, Carlisle, the tactician, taught Brooks a lesson.

The Mavericks completely blocked the Thunder's three young men on the defensive end, and they completely understood Brooks' defense on the offensive end, which led to the Thunder's defeat.

Of course, this also had something to do with Thunder's physical strength and state at the time.

Today's game is the opposite. The Mavericks are not in good physical condition and in poor condition.

Although the Thunder played overtime in the last game, they rested for two days, waiting for work at leisure, with sufficient physical fitness and brave state.

Therefore, the contest between the two sides is doomed not to be the same as the previous game.

However, after all, the Mavericks are still a level higher than the Thunder in terms of overall strength.

Brooks did not dare to relax in the slightest.

After the game started, Nowitzki tried two shots.But under the interference of Jeff Green, the "German Chariot" made a rare consecutive miss.

Then Maverick Kidd's mid-range jumper also hit the iron. The Mavericks failed in the opening three attacks.

Coincidentally, when the Mavericks failed to make a shot, the Thunder also missed a point, and Durant and Westbrook also missed their first shots.

The game played for 2 minutes, and the score between the two sides was always zero to zero.

The rhythm of the two sides on the field is very slow, and the Mavericks' rhythm is not fast. After watching the Thunder's last game, Carlisle is even more afraid to compete with the Thunder's youth team.

Damn, if these people go crazy, they can score more than 130 points in a game.

Carlisle's tactics are very practical, double-teaming the double team, trying not to let Durant catch the ball, and let other players shoot.

On offense, it is to constantly press the rhythm, reduce the number of rounds, and then continue to find the wrong position to play. If you can't find the wrong position, you will leave it to Dirk to deal with it.

With the old Kidd around, Carlisle's tactics were executed very successfully.

The Thunder's defense today is actually mediocre, and the situation has become like this, mainly because the Mavericks' outside players have poor touch and lack of impact.

But even though the Mavericks didn't feel good, the Thunder also played very hard. The rhythm of Durant and Westbrook was completely disrupted, and they fell into a tactical encirclement just like when they challenged Dallas before.

Fortunately, the Mavericks' offense is not much better.

Jason Kidd was replaced by the Jets Terry midway through the first quarter.

But Terry also turned on the blacksmith mode when he came up.

So, after the game started, the two sides continued to strike iron, and the basket was almost crooked.

This disappointed the audience who were looking forward to the game and the fans in front of the TV.

The iron war is not worth watching.

Until 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was still 12 to 12, which was outrageous.

This score is completely different from the previous game.

"OMG, what a dull game. Carlisle successfully dragged the Thunder into the rhythm of the Mavericks. It seems that Brooks still hasn't learned his lesson."

"Haha, compared to Carlisle, a master tactician like Brooks, Brooks is still a bit young. There is a big gap in their tactical changes. Look, how many open opportunities have the Mavericks got in the first quarter? If it weren't for Terry and Dirk The feel is really bad, and the Thunder are already behind."

The TNT commentary team has been commenting on the situation on the field.

"We'll see how the Thunder will change after Li Senlin plays. He's facing off against the popular sixth man of the season. Jason Terry said before the game that he would teach Li Senlin a lesson. Haha, I'm looking forward to seeing Li How will Forest respond to Terry, you know, even James and Wade said before the game that they wanted to educate Li Forest, but they failed.”

"Well, I'm looking forward to it too."

…………

As soon as Li Senlin took off his pants and went on stage, he felt Terry's unkind eyes.

Terry glared at Li Senlin with his aggressive eyes. Both sides were in rotation, and the two were going to fight directly.

"Paralysis, where did I provoke you?"

Li Senlin muttered, he didn't know why he attracted this inexplicable hostility.

However, Li Senlin never cared about these things, James was slapped in the face, where is your Jet ranked?

So Li Senlin also stared back in displeasure.

The eyes of the two seemed to be talking.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you."

"Take another look"

……

Soon, both of them were glared at by each other.

This is how the grievances arise, and it can also be said that this is a typical look at each other's displeasure.

There really is no need for a reason to see someone upset.

…………

Coach Carlisle is a coach who pays great attention to the depth of the lineup.For example, he likes to let Terry come off the bench, just to make the team have enough depth.

Brooks has a different style from Carlisle, but he also knows that Li Senlin has a lot of benefits in the second team...

Therefore, Li Senlin and Terry carried it because of tactics and positions.

…………

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

　I accidentally fell asleep, so I sent it out quickly.
