The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 64, take a blood
Chalmers is also a rookie this year. In the NCAA finals, the University of Kansas defeated Derek Rose's Memphis under his leadership.He also got the MOP at the same time.

Not all NCAA MOPs can enter the NBA. Many NCAA players are not suitable for playing in the NBA. Even the championship team may not have players who can be selected in the draft.

Chalmers was lucky. In his senior year, he was selected by the Timberwolves with the fourth overall pick in the second round, and then he was traded to the Heat. Not long after the start of the season, he secured his starting position.

Chalmers had a hard time this time. When he met Westbrook, the current Westbrook is much better than when he was in the NCAA.

Facing Westbrook's defense, Chalmers couldn't find the slightest gap.

Chalmers also likes fashion very much, which is different from Westbrook's style. He was once named "Sexiest Man" in Alaska by a fashion magazine.

In the dialogue between the two fashion gentlemen, Chalmers was temporarily at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Chalmers is a point guard who is good at fixed-point shooting and has a certain breakthrough ability;

Able to send exquisite passes, but also often makes mistakes.

Overall, talent is mediocre.

At the top of the arc, the ball was handed over to Wade who ran over to meet him. Now the Heat's tactics basically revolve around Wade.

As soon as Wade received the ball, he immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.

Taking a closer look, it was Li Senlin who was sticking close to him.

Wade was very puzzled. Li Senlin's defense should be very poor according to the analysis of the coaching staff before the game, but it didn't feel like that.

Look at his hands, they are wide open and clean. Wade can't make a foul even if he wants to. He sticks his body to himself. How the hell is this a rookie?
It's just a defensive veteran.

You know, Tony Allen is the player who won the best defensive first team for two consecutive years. What he relies on is not his fame, but his solid defensive ability. Many superstars have been defended by him without temper.He's not dirty like Bowen, nor is he blindfolded like Battier, just some clean defensive moves and enthusiasm.

There are countless superstars who have suffered under his hands, Durant, Kobe...

In terms of size and athletic talent, Allen is not the best outside line, but his tough style of play and outstanding awareness have helped him become a top defensive expert.

Similarly, Li Senlin's physical talent is not outstanding. He is feeling and learning the defensive skills brought by Tony Allen.

Tony Allen is a great defender, he doesn't want his defender to have the ball, so he'll keep jamming, jamming, jamming.

And once the opponent gets the ball, he will pounce on you.

Now Wade is facing such a situation. He finally got rid of the entanglement and received the ball, but he felt a huge pressure. This is the most oppressive feeling among guards of similar height before.

Wade was very puzzled, is this Nima's defense considered poor?

Li Senlin actually worked very hard. Even with Tony Allen's suffocating defense, he was facing the league's top attackers, and he was under a lot of pressure.

Wade struggled to squeeze out a little space, but found that the rookie on the opposite side was not letting go, and Wade couldn't find any loopholes in his defense.

Glancing at the time, he was just entangled with Li Senlin, the time passed quickly, and there were only 6 seconds left in the attack time.

Relying on the little space that was squeezed out, Ganba made a hasty shot, and without accident, he struck the iron once.

Westbrook protects the rebound.

The reason why this round was so embarrassing is because Wade didn't expect Li Senlin's defense to be so strong, and he was a little unprepared for a while.

"Beautiful, Lee."

Westbrook ran over to Li Senlin with the ball and said to Li Senlin. Westbrook thought that Li Senlin would be passed by Wade just like the previous defender, but he didn't expect him to force Wade to end the battle with a mid-range shot.

"Barkley, this Chinese plum is not easy."

"Um……"

Both of them are experienced people. It can be seen at a glance that Li Senlin's defensive ability is definitely above the average level of NBA guards.

Wade was a bit depressed and careless this round.

Durant and Brooks off the court also had a bright spot. This Li Senlin is serious, and the defense is not bad...

Li Senlin looked very calm, ran all the way through halftime, and stood in the right corner.

Westbrook stood at the top of the arc, observing. He was always watching Li Senlin from the corner of his eye, not daring to pass the ball rashly. Wade's steals were very ferocious.

Now it is Wade who is marking Li Senlin. As a superstar, Wade will not use close defense to target Li Senlin, but just focus on him.

Wade's speed is above 90, and Li Senlin's speed of 70 points to get rid of Wade is simply a dream.

Li Senlin has learned Hamilton's running skills and experience during this period, and his speed has improved a lot. Even if he couldn't get rid of Wade for a while, he still faced it with confidence.

Westbrook passes the ball to Green at the free throw line, who faces Shawn Marion in a triple-threat pose.

Marion is the Heat's defensive vanguard, and Green can't find a chance.

Li Senlin started on the right at this time, ran directly from the bottom line, took advantage of Wilcox's human wall, and blocked Wade.

An arc movement came to the left near the oblique 45-degree angle, and found a three-point gap.

Green gave the ball over, and Li Senlin caught the ball and shot it backwards. The speed of the shot was very fast, the posture was also very standard, and the arc was very high.

"Shh."

The ball went into the net hollow, 0 to 3
Li Senlin took the lead for the Thunder and felt good today.

"pretty."

Jeff Green came over and gave Li Senlin a high five, and Li Senlin helped him with an assist...

Brooks off the court was quite satisfied. The Thunder's tactics ran out. Wilcox's blocking and Green's timely delivery were all just right, and the team's tacit understanding was improving.

Li Senlin is a really good shooter as the first offensive choice. His defensive awareness and attitude have also improved a lot. The victory or loss of this game is not important to Brooks, what is important is the progress of the team and players. This That's it for the season, and the next season is the focus.

Although Brooks doesn't care about the team's victory, Li Senlin and Westbrook do. Now Li Senlin is eager to prove himself, and Westbrook never thought about admitting defeat before the game. Therefore, the Thunder Under the infection of the two, the defense of the whole team became very active.

In the first round, Li Senlin beat Wade on both offensive and defensive ends.

Wade asked for the ball directly, pushed himself across the half court, and came to the left two meters away from the three-point line to shoot the ball.

Li Senlin is still defending against his breakthrough, not daring to get too close. Wade's first step is too fast. If he chooses to stick to his defense here, he will undoubtedly be scumbag.

Tony Allen is very experienced, so naturally he would not make such a low-level mistake.

Looking at Li Senlin's position, Wade couldn't break through directly for a while.
