Chapter 169 Start the fight, the Hornets

Early the next morning.

Li Shengli reported to the team and started training again. The Hornets rested after the game in Minnesota last night. They will arrive in Salt Lake City at noon today to conduct simple pre-match training and prepare for the evening game.

However, regarding the result of the game between the Hornets and the Timberwolves, Li Shengli is still clear, because the sports newspapers were full of reports on this game in the morning, and the result was a bit unexpected... At 120:90, the Hornets bloodbathed the Timberwolves with 30 points.

Although a game does not represent anything, the Hornets still maintained a relatively amazing combat effectiveness without Li Shengli. This surprised some fans who were disappointed and angry with the Hornets management's trade of Li Shengli. What surprised them most was Big Mom Larry Johnson's performance.

30 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 caps!

In the case of the Hornets losing the inside ace Li Shengli, Johnson broke out with all his strength and scored this large double-double data, although compared with the 38 points and 16 rebounds Li Shengli scored in the previous game against the Rockets. Quite a few, and the opponents are not at the same level, but it still gives Hornets fans hope again.

In this regard, the Hornets management is naturally happy to see the results.

The trade of Li Shengli was indeed criticized, but there was no way... the bids of the teams for Johnson were too low to meet their requirements. On the contrary, the Jazz's bargaining chip was too suitable for the Hornets, so they sold it to Li Shengli.

Fortunately, Larry Johnson did not disappoint them. He led the team to bloodbath the Timberwolves with 30 points, and this large double-double data is enough to prove... Trading Li Shengli and strengthening the team did not scold them like the outside media They are so mentally retarded.

……

Li Shengli doesn't care about Johnson's statistics. The only thing that surprised him in this game is...

In the fourth quarter of the game, Mourning was knocked off by Johnson's black elbow criminal and left the field directly. In the interview with the Hornets after the game, Johnson, who was present, shamelessly mocked Mourning as a soft guy who fell down at the first touch and deliberately liar.

Damn, this grandson is jumping a little bit?

Not only did the criminal hurt others, but he also mocked Mourning?

Li Shengli felt aggrieved for Mourning. Although he didn't know what happened in the fourth quarter, one thing is certain... Mourning suffered a big loss, otherwise it would be impossible for him to retire directly.

As for Larry Johnson.

Ma Long was waiting to pack him up and make a big gift for Li Shengli, but Li Shengli felt that Mourning, who had suffered a disadvantage, would like this gift more.

Larry Johnson?

Do you really think that I can't hold you down after I leave?

……

The more you look forward to it, the longer it will be. Finally, it is night and the game is coming soon.

Li Shengli is sitting in the Jazz locker room, surrounded by a group of new teammates and opposite a group of old teammates. It feels quite complicated, but a game is a game, and he is already mentally prepared.

"Lee, this is your first game to join the Jazz. Although the opponent is the Hornets, you must not be soft!" Jerry Sloan joked, and Malone and Stockton looked at each other... soft. It's impossible to be soft-handed, probably I can only persuade him not to be too hard-handed, right?

"Don't worry, coach!"

"Okay, let me say a few words first..."

After the warm-up ended, Jerry Sloan began to arrange tactics, which were different from Alan. Although he had a good relationship with the players off the field, Jerry Sloan who entered the state was definitely concise and capable, without a word of nonsense. Everyone's offensive and defensive tasks are assigned to points.

As for Li Shengli...

Originally, Jerry Sloan didn't intend to let him play the starting center. After all, the original starter Mark Eaton was the veteran of the Jazz. Even if he was to replace him, it would take a few games to make the transition. It was a respect for the veteran...

But this game is slightly different, because the opponent is the Hornets.

As far as the Jazz are concerned, getting Lee Victory is a great joy, but the owner Larry Miller is still very angry after being blackmailed for two years of draft picks, and he deserves to beat the Hornets.

As for Li Shengli personally, before leaving the team, he was given a disgusting ticket by the management. He should stand up and use this performance to prove the shortsightedness of the Hornets and give the Jazz and Jerry Sloan Show your worth.

In this regard, Mark Eaton, who is about to retire, said that it doesn't matter, and Jerry Sloan didn't talk nonsense, and directly put Li Shengli in the starting lineup.

……

At this time, the cheers of the fans in the Triangle Center Arena, the Jazz's home court, were loud, because this game was Li Shengli's first show to join the Jazz, and the moment Li Shengli played, the cheers reached the peak, and everyone was looking forward to this game .

Jazz starting lineup, center Li Shengli, power forward Malone, small forward Tyrone Corbin, point guard Stockton, shooting guard Jane Furhenris.

Hornets starting lineup, center Gominsky, power forward Johnson, small forward Newman, point guard Boggs, shooting guard Jeff Malone.

At the center position, the newly joined Isaac Austin did not appear, but at the shooting guard position... Jeff Malone topped Curry's starting lineup.

……

After the debut, the two sides shook hands head to tail.

The Jazz are talking and laughing with old teammates Jeff Malone and Isaac Austin. After all, they were teammates in the trenches a few days ago. Even though they have become opponents now, the relationship is still good.

As for the Hornets, Li Shengli is the same. When they met Curry and Boggs, they shook hands. One person punched Li Shengli in the chest. Li Shengli's 'deep' friendship, but when Li Shengli wanted to get back, the two brothers just slipped away without giving Li Shengli a chance.

Only Larry Johnson...

In the previous game, they scored 30+13, and their self-confidence was extremely inflated. The handshake before the opening even directly skipped the three Jazz cores of Li Shengli, Malone and Stockton.

Needless to say, Li Shengli has both new and old grudges. Before he left, he was beaten up. Johnson hated him so much that his teeth itch, and Karl Malone... stared at him in the All-Star game and made his All-Star debut It has become a joke, and it is also extremely hated. As for Stockton, who wears a pair of pants with Malone, he will naturally not give a good face.

court death?

This is pure courting of death!

It is difficult for Karl Malone to understand how much Larry Johnson has swelled to make him have the courage to provoke himself, and Stockton is also stern, staring at Johnson who has gone away.

"How to say?"

"Kill him!"

Stockton asked directly, while Malone answered more directly.

"Look, Li, today I will teach you how to fight and kill a person in a reasonable way!" Enraged Ma Long was murderous.

"That's right, Li, watch carefully. We all know your previous record, every time you are too passive. But you have to know that any opponent who has malicious intentions towards you, you can't wait for them to make the first move, it's best The best way is to ... kill them in advance." Stockton sternly nodded.

It has to be said that although Li Shengli is a rookie, Ma Long and Stockton still regard him as a teammate of the same level. After all, Li Shengli will be the catalyst for the uncrowned Jazz for a long time to come, and carry the expectations of Shuangsha .

Malone: ​​"Li, are you ready?!"

Stockton: "Target Johnson, kill him!"

Li Shengli: "No problem, give him to me!"

Ma Long: "Leave it to you? That's not necessarily the case. As long as this trash dares to fight back, I won't let him play in the first quarter. Of course... I really hope that he can hold on for a while longer."

……

What the hell?

Listening to the conversation between the three, the jazz generals felt their hearts pounding.

For a long time, the Jazz has a Karl Malone. As long as the opponent is not clean, Malone will stand up and teach him to be a man, but now he has added a super-strike Li Shengli, no accident... The Jazz's future games will definitely be clean enough to become A model for the entire league.

In fact, in the face of the victorious Malone team on the inside, it doesn't seem to be okay to be unclean, right?

One person has one big elbow, whoever eats will burp.
