Pick Westbrook

Chapter 24

Hammond, who was on the second floor, saw this scene, his stomach burst into laughter one after another.

"Elson's look is cheap!"

Li Lai also couldn't help but smile slightly.

Francisco Elson is indeed a living treasure on the court, otherwise he would not frequently spray trash at Westbrook.

However, his popularity in the team has always been good, and everyone is willing to get along with him.

Seeing this, the candidate for the designated veteran hanging in Li Lai's heart was finally settled.

Francisco Elson, who has been in the league for 6 years and is also an insider, should be the only one designated by Yi Jianlian as a veteran.

After confirming this matter, Li Lai immediately found Elson on the field and told him what he was thinking.

The latter laughed, and said proudly: "Don't worry, coach, this matter is on me, and I will definitely return you the extremely flamboyant Yi Jianlian in a short time."

Li Lai, who was originally confident about this matter, felt a little uneasy after hearing what the other party said.

"Don't teach Yi Jianlian badly!"

Day two.

The Bucks practiced freely.

Maurice Williams came to the training hall without warning.

He finally returned to the team.

There was anger on Li Lai's face.

The team's joint training has already gone through more than half, and even the preseason is about to start. What does it mean that Xiao Mo has returned to the team at this time?
"Is there any team in the league that hasn't announced a team practice during this period of time?
Even if James, Kobe and others who participated in the Olympics are already training, how can he dare to act like this? "

Seeing that Li Lai was approaching the verge of a volcanic eruption, Hammond quickly smoothed things over and said, "Boss, don't be impulsive!
Maurice Williams has always acted perversely, and even last season's team boss Michael Reid couldn't hold him down.

So we just let it go and let him get used to it.

But his strength is nothing to say. Last season, he averaged 18 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and he has already shown the potential to become an All-Star player. "

To be precise, it is not potential, but ability.

Li Lai knew very well that Xiao Mo would indeed be an All-Star in the future, and he was also a combo guard with full offensive power.

It's just that the passing ability is slightly worse.

Don't be confused by his average of 6 assists per game last season. This is because of Michael Reed's excellent shooting ability and Bogut's top pick-and-roll.

He is also embarrassed to be responsible for the combination of sudden passes in offense with the ball and the passer most needed by the team's offense under the tactical system.

Therefore, in the future, all coaches will use him with offense first.

"Maurice Williams averaged 3.2 turnovers per game last season, and his high assist-to-turnover ratio also proves that he is indeed not a very good passer.

Otherwise, people in the rivers and lakes say how it came about. "

If Li Lai remembered correctly, Xiao Mo in his previous life was the one who dared not pass the ball even on James' fast break.

At this time, Xiao Mo had already arrived on the field.

After Yi Jianlian saw the other party, there was obviously some unnatural emotion on his face.

Yi Jianlian, who was still a rookie last season, was bullied the worst by his teammates in the locker room by Maurice Williams.

"Come on, let me see if you have trained well during the off-season."

Xiao Mo took a basketball and shot a three-pointer on the court, and made a steady hit, and then beckoned everyone to go to the court for training.

This is completely like a team boss.

And his behavior that doesn't care what other people think can no longer be described as perverse.

Simply a stabbing player!
"Lu, hurry up and coach the game!"

Hammond gestured.

Seeing that Li Lai's face was still in a bad mood, he hurriedly said with a sad face and aggrieved face: "Boss, don't try to make any crooked ideas again.

Maurice Williams is indeed a problem player, but his ability is completely nothing to say, if you don't believe me, just look at his performance on the court. "

Li Lai took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotional attack.

The Bucks are almost all young players now, and they really need a veteran with good strength and experience to help them grow.

Originally, Li Lai also took a fancy to Xiao Mo's ability to disrupt battles and his ability to become an All-Star player just by attacking.

But he never expected that the opponent turned out to be a player with such a serious problem.

Compared with the later generations of the nerve knife JR, I am afraid that it is not too much.

"Then fight and see how capable he is!" Li Lai said calmly.

Game start.

Tyronn Lue coached Group A: Westbrook, Mo Xiao, Marshall, Villanueva and Yi Jianlian.

Li came to coach Group B: Dragic, George Hill, Malik Rose, Austin Crocier and Elson.

Yi Jianlian actively grabbed the rebound, and Westbrook held the ball across the half.

According to past tactics and habits, at this time the two are going to pick and roll at a high position.

But this time Xiao Mo walked to the center line, not only blocked the pick-and-roll route of the two, but also directly opened his hand for the ball and said, "Come on, rookie, give me the ball, and I will teach you how to win."

Although Westbrook was unhappy with the opponent's tone, but he has always won the first game, and it is impossible for him to destroy the team's overall offense at this time.

So Westbrook still gave the ball to Mo Mo.

It was George Hill who defended Xiao Mo.

call!
"The first step is quick!"

Xiao Mo, who lowered his center of gravity, passed the inexperienced George Hill in just one step, and then went straight to the basket.

Elson rushed over to make up the defense, but was passed by the opponent with a flash in the air.

Swish!
Steady layup hit.

This goal stunned everyone present.

"Although his temper is a little bit bad, but this strength is really there." Hammond said with a smile, wiping off his sweat.

Li Lai also took a slightly surprised look at Xiao Mo.

As expected, he was the best second-in-command next to the opponent during the young Zhan period. This offensive strength is indeed good.

Just relying on this trick, Xiao Mo is enough to secure a team's starting list.

Dragic and Elson picked and rolled, and George Hill cut in to receive a pass and also returned one.

If the last goal proved Xiao Mo's excellent offensive ability, then this goal completely exposed his weak defense.

It's not that Xiao Mo has no defensive ability, but his attitude!

"Dragic and Elson's pick-and-roll were almost covered by Yi Jianlian and Westbrook. It was supposed to be a good defensive shot, but it was easily scored because of Xiao Mo's distraction from the bottom line."

Li Lai shook his head.

Such a defensive attitude may have risen to the level of eye contact.

There was back and forth on the court. Compared with the team in Group B, the offense was more blooming, and the team in Group A was almost controlled by Xiao Mo alone.

And when he was attacking, he didn't look at his teammates' positions and passing the ball at all, so the scene on the court was very strange.

After the confrontation match, Xiao Mo scored 40 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists alone, while the entire Group A scored 56 points.

In the end, Group B won again with 70:56.

Tyronn Lue held his head speechlessly on the sidelines. He had arranged many tactics for the team, but he didn't know that he couldn't play any of them on the court.

"Xiao Mo, the ball master, can hardly pass the ball!"

On the court, Xiao Mo, who lost the match, was still cursing.

"40 points can't bring you to victory, you newcomers have something to learn!"

Westbrook had 6 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and was extremely dissatisfied on the sidelines.

Although he has not officially played an NBA game, he also knows that it is impossible to lead the team to win with a style of play like Morris Williams.

Yi Jianlian had 2 points and 8 rebounds. In this game, he had almost no offense except for rebounding, blocking, and defending as he did in the regular season last season.

"I knew it!" Villanueva shook his head speechlessly.

As early as the beginning of the summer league, he said that he can only be the third scorer of the volleyball team at best, and Westbrook is the second at best.

Because Maurice Williams is there, he has to be No. [-].

"enough!"

Li Lai finally couldn't bear Xiao Mo's willful behavior and let out a roar.

"This game is the worst game I have ever seen, and the score in Group A is also the lowest since the training camp started!

And this is all because of you! "
