The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 80, Skill Showcase.

The second quarter of the game restarted.

The NBA's serving rules are as follows,
The first quarter and overtime begin with a jump ball in the middle.

The second and third quarters shall begin with a throw-in at the endline by the team that lost possession after the kick-off of the first quarter.

The fourth period begins with a throw-in at the endline by the team that gains possession after the kickoff of the first period.

Therefore, in this quarter, the Thunder served.

Li Senlin dribbled the ball slowly across the half court.

Now the ability to handle the ball is 70 points. Although James is strong defensively, Li Senlin is not even unable to dribble.

It is impossible for Paul to cut him off one-on-one, let alone James, as long as the point guard has a normal ball protection action and does not foul, the dribble will not be stopped.

After Li Senlin came over, he didn't write any ink, and directly called Collison to come over to cover.

Although James is very good at defending, it is not impossible to crack it.

A simple screen will stop him.

But for Li Senlin, who doesn't have much breakthrough ability, even if the cover is in place, it is impossible for him to go one-on-one to the inside.

He doesn't have that kind of skill.

Although Li Senlin's breakthrough was weak, it is impossible for the Cavaliers to be completely defenseless.

Li Senlin dribbled the ball to the free throw line, and Ben Wallace immediately defended him and covered it tightly.

Li Senlin found a little gap and jumped up.

He jumped up from this position, and everyone thought he was going to shoot.

Ben Wallace also rushed over.

Li Senlin looked for someone directly in the air, saw Earl Watson who just got out, slipped behind Qiao Han, took advantage of Qiao Han's body, and ran out of the open space.

Li Senlin made a fake pass and smashed the ball in the air.

"Miao Chuan Tian Wang" launched.

Earl Watson, who received the ball, threw a backlash directly, the movement was very coherent, and he shot.

As a guard with a height of 185 cm, if he does not lean back in this position, he will be easily blocked, and others can interfere with him casually. It is very difficult for a small guard to survive in the NBA. If his brain is not good, he will definitely not be able to stay.

Earl Watson's ability to become the coach of an NBA team in just a few years after retiring also proves that his brain is actually very good.

A good brain is manifested in the timing and grasp of shots, never missing open opportunities, and the ball draws a wonderful arc.

"Swish"

Hollow into the net.

26:19.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Thunder took the lead, and Li Senlin assisted Watson to score two points.

"pretty."

Brooks was a little surprised by Li Senlin's change. This tactic was obviously planned.

It's a pity that the Cavaliers' first attack also failed.

It's still LeBron James.

Assist Ben Wallace to wreak havoc inside.

The Thunder played a small lineup, and a simple pick-and-roll between James and Wallace allowed Ben Wallace to find a gap in the three-second zone.

Dunk.

28:19.

James didn't change his face, this was just a very common assist for him.

Seeing his relaxed appearance, Li Senlin couldn't help but sweat, Alexander.

Still dribble the past.

Another cover break.

Jump up and score the ball again.

"Activate the Miao Chuan Heavenly King."

Earl Watson caught the ball from beyond the three-point line this time.

Another long shot.

"Shh."

28:22.

Li Senlin scored an assist again.

Earl Watson looked at his hands in surprise, they felt really good today.

After Miao Chuan Tian Wang is activated, the hit rate will increase to 60%, and it is not surprising that two hits in a row.

Li Senlin patted Watson in the past and expressed his encouragement.

Seeing that the score was approaching again, James was annoyed for a while, and was about to continue to attack by himself.

At this time, the Cavaliers coach put Mo Williams on the field to replace James.

Although James doesn't want to play, it's not easy to disobey the head coach. It's just a regular season now, so there's no need to go all out.

And he's been playing a lot.

When Li Senlin saw that James, the big boss, had gone down, he was so happy.

Also heaved a sigh of relief.

You must know that Li Senlin's current score is still hanging with duck eggs.

Mo Williams watched the score approaching and was not in a hurry. In his eyes, the Thunder were underdogs, and Li Senlin was still a rookie.

Push the ball across half court.

It's not called tactics anymore.

With a simple cover, after fending off Li Senlin, he pulled out directly from the outside, and the shot was very fast.

"Swish"

Three points and another record, 31 to 22.

Helpless, although Li Senlin has a suffocating defense, but there is no way to deal with this crazy style of play.

This guy is obviously in high spirits too.

Li Senlin holds the ball, without James' marking, he is much more relaxed, and he feels less restrained.

Marking him is Mo Williams.

Dribbled the ball to the right, jumped up and smashed the pass again, this time it was given to Johan Pedro who cut inside.

Johan Pedro was lucky enough to get stuck in the post battle with Ben Wallace.

A layup was made.

31:24.

Li Senlin added another assist.

. . .

The game progressed quickly. After the start of the second quarter, the offense of both sides went smoothly.

Li Senlin launched "Miao Chuan Tian Wang LV1" almost every time he attacked.

Although the skill was activated, it was not successful every time.

That's why they tried their best to maintain the point difference, and didn't let the Cavaliers widen the score.

Li Senlin was off again with 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the second quarter.

At this time, his data has changed to 0 points and 8 assists. Although the scoring is still on the hook, the 7 assists in a single quarter have proved his hard work in this quarter. .

"Good job, Lee."

Durant greeted Li Senlin who was walking towards the bench from the sidelines.

Durant knows how powerful the Cavaliers are, and he has also seen Li Senlin's enthusiasm on the court. He was unable to play due to injury, which made him very distressed.

But as the boss of the team, he still needs to come out and use words to motivate his teammates. He is still very clear about this.

"KD, if you don't make a comeback, we won't be able to hold on."

Li Senlin complained to Durant.

Without Durant, he played very hard. In addition to taking on Durant's scoring tasks, he also had to carry other teams' defensive leaders. This seemed too much pressure for Li Senlin, who only rated C+ .

"Haha, you guys played well, I can come back after two more games."

Durant looked at the Thunder generals who were fighting hard, and he wished he could come back immediately and fight James for [-] rounds.

It's a pity that whether he can play or not is not up to him, but in the hands of the team doctor and the head coach.

The task of the Thunder team this year is not to hit the playoffs, as long as the scene looks good, there is no need to take risks and send the team's future core to fight.

At least the team management and coaching staff think so.

But Durant and Westbrook are not like this. They are very confident and conceited. They want to lead the team to the playoffs. They both have a heart eager to win! !Therefore, they want to win every game.

"yeah."

Seeing that Li Senlin reversed his decline in the second quarter and soared his assists again and again, Milan in front of the TV kept cheering.

Lao Mi regretted letting Milan come to watch the game.

Hey, what Li Senlin said, he went soaring, James, why did you just go on and on?

Lao Mi is worried.
