The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 190, Confrontation.

"Director Zhang Weiping and I will explain this game to you! Director Zhang, let us analyze the situation of the two sides for our audience friends!"

Sun Zhengping started the opening speech to the camera!

"it is good!"

Director Zhang paused to organize his words.

"The Thunder have only won one of the last 16 games. The only game they won was Li Senlin's explosive victory. Overall, their team is in a very sluggish state. Their luck is not very good. Three The main players were either injured or suspended, which led to their losing streak. In this game, Westbrook and Durant fully recovered from their injuries, and the titan Li Senlin returned. Then they rested in Houston for three days ahead of schedule. , These actions all mean that they attach great importance to today's game! Their goal is to win and end the losing streak. But there is still a hidden danger on the Thunder's side, that is, head coach Scott Brooks, who is obsessed with singles tactics. During the losing streak, there was hardly a lot of smooth cooperation. Most of the offenses used the personal abilities of the two of them, Dewey, to end the offense. The American media has already begun to discuss the possibility of this rookie coach’s dismissal. However, the Thunder The management's trust in Brooks is still very high, and general manager Presti has repeatedly supported the work of the head coach in public."

"For the Rockets, after T-MAC was injured, under the leadership of Yao Ming, the spirit of the whole team has taken on a new look. Many role players have played the best level of their careers. Yao Ming has almost scored 20+10 data. Now they The team has a record of 30 wins and 20 losses, ranking fifth in the West, followed by the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks. They have made great progress this season. Suppressing the opponent's scoring average below 90 points, the competition in the Western Conference is still very fierce, so they face the second-to-last Thunder today, and they must win."

"That guide, what aspects should the two teams do well to win?"

"For the Thunder, Brooks must still play singles tactics. They can't play pick-and-rolls or other too complicated tactics. It's still the same way. Run up and play a quick counterattack. The three young men go crazy. Don't play with the Rockets. Play the position. In other words, the Rockets have two defensive experts, Battier and Artest, Li Senlin and Durant are inexperienced after all, and they will be at a disadvantage. As for the Rockets, first of all, Yao Ming must do a good job in the interior. Under the defense, the Thunder's three minorities have the strength to hit the basket, and then Yao Ming will ensure 20+ points in the interior, and do a good job as a fulcrum. The team as a whole must slow down. It depends on the defensive experts Battier and Artest Whether to lock Durant or Li Senlin, as long as the third master locks one, it will be difficult for the Thunder to win. Adelman must instruct the point guard Brooks to keep the rhythm, and don't play fast with the Thunder, otherwise the third master Once the touch is opened, even the league's No. [-] defense system will be destroyed."

"Hmm! Thank you Director Zhang for your analysis! Let's watch the game next."

The Toyota Center is already full of people at this time, and the home court, which is often dissatisfied, is full today.

Many Chinese audiences came to the scene, many of them came from several nearby cities, and they all showed their support with posters of Li Senlin and Yao Ming.

As the two most famous basketball players in China, their derby match undoubtedly attracted the attention of many Chinese fans across the United States.

Although it is the home court of the Rockets, many fans wearing Thunder No. 8 jerseys can still be seen in the middle of the sea of ​​red and white today.

Li Senlin scored 70 points in the live broadcast of the last game. Many people missed it and had no chance to see it.

This is his first game after his comeback, and the fans are full of expectations for Li Senlin's performance today.

In terms of tactical arrangements today, Brooks did not let Li Senlin continue to play as a substitute, but directly put him in the starting lineup.

The Thunder will come up with the strongest lineup to deal with it from the beginning.

Brooks wanted to play badly, but he was more worried that these generals would have opinions on him. Now he can't let them see that he wants to play badly, so it's strange.

The admission ceremony was over, and Li Senlin was waiting for the game to start. He saw familiar Rockets players one by one.

The first one that caught my eye was Battier.

Li Senlin thought about the technical characteristics of this defensive expert.

Battier's offensive methods are relatively simple, usually frontal 3-pointers. His blindfolded tactics make Kobe, James, Wade and other players overwhelmed, and his one-on-one marking cannot be underestimated.

It is estimated that he will face him directly in the meeting, and Li Senlin is not sure whether he will be restrained very much by him now, it depends on the state of the meeting later. .

Eyes shifted to Scola body.

Scola's offense is mainly mid-range shots and layups. He can use his footsteps to cause fouls. His footstep changes around the basket allow him to get open layup opportunities. In addition, he has a stable rebound and can share the rebounding task for Yao Ming.But his shortcomings are also very obvious. His height of 2 meters can only be regarded as "passing". His blocking and stealing abilities still need to be improved, and he is close to 06 years old. His opponent is Jeff Green, and both of them can be regarded as offensive and defensive. It's all the same, Green's only advantage is that he is young, able to run and jump.

After watching Scola, Li Senlin looked at Artest again.

One of the Big Three of the Rockets, Artest's offensive methods are generally 3-pointers and breakthrough layups. Artest's defense is notoriously strong. He can steal, is good at defending outside the 3-point line, and can use his strong body Prevent opponents from breaking through, at this point, James and Kobe have a deep understanding.

In general, Artest has a certain 3-point shooting ability, and he does the best top defense in the league. He can use his strong body to head-to-head with James.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. Although the irritable temper has improved a lot, he will receive technical fouls consecutively against Kobe, which shows that he is not good enough, and his shooting is unstable at critical moments, and free throws are not accurate. KD, KD is estimated to be difficult to play.

Just as Li Senlin was looking at Artest, Artest turned around and saw Li Senlin.

Li Senlin glared at Artest with murderous eyes.

Seeing Li Senlin's eyes, Artest immediately tightened his chrysanthemum, and quickly said to Yao Ming beside him:

"Yao, what's the temper of your fellow Chinese? If I fight with him later, you have to pull him a little bit. I'll save face and try not to fight him."

Yao Ming, who was stretching his body, almost laughed when he heard Artest's words.

But Yao Ming knew the reason. After Li Senlin knocked down those tough guys from the Nuggets in 2 minutes, many players knew that Li Senlin was a Chinese with Chinese kung fu. Even the Rockets teammates began to surround Yao Ming and say Learn kung fu.

Artest was afraid that Li Senlin would knock him down with two or three moves, and then he would be too embarrassing in public.

Li Senlin's image when he entered the NBA is very fresh, completely different from the image of Ah Lian, Yao Ming, and Sun Yue. He should never be forced to do it, and his notoriety has spread far and wide.

But what Yao Ming didn't expect was that Artest was so cowardly!
You know, in the past, Artest was only counseled when he was facing Ben Wallace, and he was not afraid of Kobe James, but now, Li Senlin is going to be added.

"Haha, Ron, he has a good temper, it's okay, I'm here!"

After Yao Ming finished speaking, he patted Artest on the shoulder, signaling him to feel relieved.

The Thunder's starting five today are: Green, Durant, Westbrook, Li Senlin, Collison.

Rockets starters are: Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Battier, Brooks.

This is Li Senlin's first game after being promoted to the B level.

Being promoted to B-level has made Li Senlin a lot more confident. The system evaluates the B-level evaluation of the host. Normally, it is almost the same as the B+ and A-level combat power of other players. This is a characteristic that Li Senlin discovered. One of the criteria for judging is more stringent.

After 6 games without playing, Li Senlin's desire for the game has reached the extreme. He never thought that he would have such a strong desire to fight, so he was extremely excited.

…………

With the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

The ball is thrown into the air.

Both sides jump the ball.

Yao Ming won the jump ball without any suspense and passed the ball to Brooks.

According to the tactical arrangement before the game, the little black bean Brooks pressed the rhythm desperately and advanced slowly.

Xiaobu's breakthrough speed is fast, the weak-side 3-pointer is very accurate, and his shots from other positions are also good, but he is a bit overconfident and independent in offense.His defensive ability is poor, and his height of 1 meters is too short.

Facing Westbrook's marking.

Xiao Bu did not choose to fight by himself.

Came to the top of the arc and lobbed the ball to Yao Ming inside.

Yao Ming VS Collison.

Yao Ming easily took a step forward in the three-second zone and got stuck to catch the ball.

Hit your back and arch.

Collison couldn't resist at all, and stepped back step by step,

Li Senlin quickly stepped forward to attack.

Yao Ming responded quickly.

Before Li Senlin arrived, he turned around, took a big stride, received the ball with his right hand, and hit a standard jump hook.

Collison tried his best to push forward, but he still had no way to interfere with Yao Ming's shot.

"Shh!"

0:2.

The Rockets' conventional tactics were completed.

Although the Thunder's inside line has been upgraded, it is mainly in the depth of the inside line of the second team.

The inside line of the Thunder's first team is still bad.

In addition, Yao Ming's state this year can be regarded as one of the best years in his career, especially in terms of health, and his attendance rate is very high.

For Yao Ming, Thunder's inside line is basically what he wants.

On offense, Yao Ming can make layups, slam dunks, mid-range shots, and free throws, with comprehensive skills and excellent inside offensive skills.

Defensively, Yao Ming can grab nearly 10 rebounds per game and contribute nearly 2 blocks per game.

The only disadvantage that can be counted is that it has not yet found a way to break through the front and double-team, and it is not hard enough at the basket.

However, Yao Ming's lack of toughness is also relative. Facing the inside line composed of Thunder's soft guy Collison and jumping guy Green, Brother Yao is very firm and abuses casually.

Thunder's way to deal with Dayao is to double-team him. Rao Qian, even if he can't defend him, he has to constantly confront him physically and consume him.

……

Westbrook pushes forward with his hip twisted.

Because Westbrook playing off the ball is basically a waste of his martial arts, so after Li Senlin, who is also a point guard, was transferred to the starting lineup, he basically played off the ball.

At this time, it was Sean Battier who was marking Li Senlin.

Li Senlin continued to intersperse and move.

His 70-point speed was evenly divided against Battier.

"Li, don't try to get rid of me."

Battier interfered with Li Senlin with words. He had already studied the Thunder's first attack.

"Why should I dump you?"

Li Senlin was at a disadvantage against Battier, because Li Senlin's height and wingspan were not as good as Battier's, and Li Senlin didn't have the speed that other small men had an advantage over Battier.

Therefore, according to Li Senlin's current arsenal, he can only go to the low post against the defensive expert in the Rocket League's number one position defense, and he can't get rid of it.

Li Senlin came to the low position on the right, barely stuck Battier, and reached out for the ball.

After witnessing Li Senlin's 70-point scoring show in a single game, the tortoise is no longer surprised by his aggressive offense in any position.

In the eyes of the tortoise, Li Senlin is the kind of player who can play against him during training, but when it comes to games, he is like a kaleidoscope of offense. He uses 6 more offensive skills than Durant.

Durant is extremely talented, and Li Senlin is a skilled player.

Li Senlin received the ball smoothly.

With his back against Battier.

Everyone in the Thunder emptied the right side and let him play.

Paralyzed, Mr. 70 points is going to play singles, and everyone can just watch the show.

Even if Li Senlin has Uncle Pi's low-post experience and nagging fadeaway jumper, he can only be said to be [-]-[-] against a top defensive expert like Battier.

Because Li Senlin's strength has no advantage over Battier, in the low position, strength is too important.

Li Senlin patted the ball, turned forward, and took a step sideways.

Battier didn't lose his position, and Li Senlin didn't make a phone call.

But Li Senlin has room to dribble.

After a series of gorgeous footsteps.

The shoulder feint shakes Battier off his weight.

Quickly adjust the rhythm, roll over and lean back.

Battier had no way to block, so he could only resort to the legendary blindfold.

Although he couldn't see it, Li Senlin's shot was not disturbed.

The posture is very standard, it is an extremely backward shooting posture, which can barely avoid Battier's block!
This series of technical operations caused the fans on the scene to exclaim.

"Kobe Bryant?"

This is what everyone has in mind.

At this time, the ball draws a wonderful arc.

"Shh!"

2 is better than 2
"Beautiful! Footsteps, shooting posture, this series of post-back skills show that Li Senlin is constantly improving. Now his weapon is not only three-pointers, this back is quite Kobe's demeanor."

Zhang Weiping made a timely comment.

"Yeah, I remember that he could only throw three-pointers in the first two months, but now he can use all kinds of offensive skills. The NBA is indeed the league with the highest level. Players are improving very quickly."

Sun Zhengping was also very impressed.
