I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 213 With 20 points in the first quarter, Boozer steals the show!

After the 75ers suspended, Larry Brown replaced the backup power forward Derek Coleman to limit He Li.

You may be unfamiliar with Derek Coleman. In fact, Coleman was once a well-known No. [-] figure in the NBA.

Coleman was the No. 90 pick in [-]. Because of his excellent physical talent, he was at his peak when he debuted!

In the rookie season, he beat the rookies of the same class to win the best rookie. The third season of the rookie was the third team of the best team. Then in the fourth year, he entered the All-Star Game as an All-Star starter, and at the same time won another third team of the best team.

Then in the fifth year, because of signing a big contract, I started my career of clocking in and going to work with peace of mind.

Some people describe Coleman in this way, playing the same basketball, sweating the same amount, holding the same statistics, and receiving the same contract.

Because Coleman's physical fitness is good enough, even if a team lives on its laurels, it can still get along in the league.

Even if he is as fat as Rainman Kemp, but Kemp can't play, Coleman is still eligible to be the starting power forward of the NBA playoffs.

If we say who is the most similar to Wiggins among the previous top picks?It is definitely not a big dog with similar data, but the 90 champion Coleman.

However, this Coleman has been abandoned for more than ten years after entering the NBA, but in recent years he has repented and turned his prodigal son back.

This is mainly Larry Brown's personality and ideological education.

There is one thing to say, Larry Brown is indeed a rookie killer, but he is quite good for veterans.

Coleman had been depraved for a long time, but under the infection of Larry Brown, he decided to change his mind and play again.

Last season, Coleman also served as the starting power forward for the 75ers, averaging 15.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

But this season, after the 75ers traded for Keith Van Horn, under the persuasion of Larry Brown, Coleman was willing to be a substitute, and his main task was to lead the second team.

Closer to home, although Coleman was once the No. [-] pick, he is old after all.

Even though Coleman's prodigal son turned around, changed his mind, continued to train, and kept in shape, his body did not lose weight so quickly, and his state was not as good as when he was young.

He Li doesn't need to pay too much attention to dealing with a fat man like Coleman, just find a comfortable place outside the three-point line to shoot.

Coleman's slow pace couldn't keep up with He Li's speed at all. When Coleman noticed He Li's shot, He Li had already thrown the ball before Coleman took off to block the shot.

He Li feels good today, and of course he has the effect of making his shots more stable after gaining weight.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, He Li made 8 of 6 shots, all of which were three-pointers, and also made 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 19 points efficiently.

Today is the opening match of the new season of 02-03, and the game will be broadcast live across the United States. No one wants to lose!
Not to mention that Iverson, the head player of the 75ers, is the one who will not admit defeat. Iverson wants to help the 75ers regain the top and win the championship.

And if they want to win the championship in the new season, the defending champion Bucks must win and defeat no matter what!

For the first time this season, not only Iverson didn't want to lose, but all the 75 players didn't want to lose.

All, under the leadership of Iverson, the Bucks did not lead by many points, basically maintaining around 10 points.

"Allen Iverson passed Ray Allen, broke into the basket and once again challenged Bucks center Joel Przybilla to make a killing."

The audience saw that Iverson stood on the free throw line naturally, and they had to sigh with emotion. Iverson's breakthrough is really strong, and his play is really hard!

Now the Bucks' outside defensive ability is not bad.

The Bucks play zone defense and can switch defenses, so how can they help in defense.

Under such circumstances, there are very few players in the league who can break through such layers of perimeter defenses and enter the penalty area on their own.

But Iverson still did it!

On the basis of running without the ball, Iverson faced Ray Allen's defense, found space, and immediately attacked after receiving the ball.

Unlike other breakthrough players who still need to see six directions and listen to all directions, Iverson is breaking through this area of ​​"one force down ten times", directly accelerating, ignoring the Bucks' outside defense and entering the inside.

This speed, this skill, this unhesitating desire to attack, is really too strong, too hard!
You must know that after Iverson passed someone, He Li and others still chose to follow up and double-team Iverson.

As long as Joel standing under the basket can block Iverson for a while, He Li and others' defense can still keep up.

But Iverson, knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, is inclined to go to the mountain, and directly confronts Joel, causing damage.

A small guard who has just recovered from a serious injury and claims to be 183, but in fact he is not yet 183, took the initiative to find a 216 white tank center to cause damage...

In the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly like a mayfly shaking a tree and a mantis turning a cart.

If He Li encountered such a situation, he would definitely stop suddenly without hesitation and make a big jump shot.

But Iverson, who was born in football, is looking for confrontation when he goes up, just to be positive.

The ball was not scored, but the momentum came out!Made Joel a foul, and there are two free throws.

This is Iverson's style of play, Iverson's attitude.

He Li was really moved when he saw Iverson like this.

What moved He Li was: "Why bother, it's just playing a ball, why pay for the risk of injury?"

If it is a critical moment in the playoffs, He Li will fight Iverson like this, but it is only a game in the regular season, and He Li will use more simple, relaxed, and healthy games to solve it.

Besides, even if He Li didn't score the ball, wouldn't there be teammates?

Iverson and Kobe's lone hero style of play is indeed tough, good-looking, and attracts fans, but He Li thinks that you don't understand what team basketball or brother basketball is.

Sometimes, playing basketball is not about drinking tea, shouting "My second brother is invincible", and winning the game?

In fact, Iverson is not without helpers. Both Coleman and Van Horn can score on the court.

However, compared to Iverson's tough tactics of blindly causing damage, Coleman and Van Horn played relatively softly, either mid-range shots or three-pointers.

Although there are points, the hit rate needs to be improved.

Soon, with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Larry Brown couldn't help calling another timeout.

Larry Brown's coaching experience is indeed rich, and his on-the-spot arrangement ability is quite good.

It was ineffective to send Coleman to defend He Li before. Larry Brown did not call a timeout in a hurry, but it was because he needed to observe He Li carefully and think about how to really limit He Li.

Now that Larry Brown is getting along, it's natural to call a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Larry Brown re-deployed Aaron McGee.

This is not that Larry Brown is poor, but that while Aaron McGee is defending He Li, Coleman is allowed to defend He Li near the free throw line.

In fact, Van Horn is the most suitable candidate to act as a help defense, but Van Horn needs to score in the second quarter, so take this opportunity to let go and rest.

With the lineup of 75 people, Larry Brown will let Iverson take the opportunity to take a breather on the defensive end.

Therefore, we will not make a defensive strategy of guard defense and double-teaming He Li.

Larry Brown used Aaron McGee to attract He Li to shoot from the outside. Even if Coleman assisted in slow defense, Larry Brown did not believe that He Li could always maintain such a good touch.

After all, He Li's three-point shooting rate is unreasonable.

Even when the finals were in full swing, He Li's three-point shooting percentage was not as terrifying as in the first quarter.

Then, if He Li continues to make such reckless outside shots, it can be assumed that He Li's hit rate will drop next.

As a result, the Bucks wasted some offensive opportunities, lost some rebounds, and gave the 75ers some opportunities to counterattack.

In this regard, Larry Brown said he was happy to see it.

Of course, Larry Brown hopes that Aaron McGee and Coleman will cooperate to limit He Li and help the 75ers win this game.

However, before Larry Brown saw any effect, He Li relied on a fake hand-off, a fake fax rushed into the basket and dunked a dunk.

"I am the slam dunk king, you have to understand, I am the slam dunk king!"

At this stage, He Li uses shooting as the main scoring method, but it does not mean that only shooting can score.

It is also because the 75ers' outside defensive players did not interfere too much with He Li's shooting, and because he felt really good today, He Li dared to shoot so wildly in the first quarter.

If it was the level of defense strength of Kobe and Pierce, He Li would definitely hit it more, um, a mid-range iron-blooded jumper...

Of course skyhooks are not out of the question.

Simply put, He Li is still very smart to play.

If a brother stands up, play brother basketball.

If there is a regular season where you can fish in troubled waters, you can play healthy basketball.

If there is a chance to steal a chicken, He Li will go to the basket and dunk one without hesitation.

You know, today's special is the opening game of the new season broadcast live across the United States!

If he blindly shoots three-pointers, even if he becomes the all-star vote leader this season, He Li will be sprayed as a softie by other fans, right?
If you want to get rid of the bad image of "soft guy", you still have to buckle up more if you have the opportunity.

It happened that Coleman stood up to help defend him, and it happened that Van Horn was off the court to rest. The 75ers played at the basket for 10 minutes, and the already panting second-round pick center Todd Markloch.

When He Li relied on his own projection threat and played a triangle offense with Kassel, there was a wave of fake hand-offs.

When He Li took advantage of Aaron McGee's inattention, quickly passed the defensive player, and strode into the basket, no one on the 75ers side could stop He Li.

Although He Li gained weight, his bounce didn't drop much.

If you continue to participate in the slam dunk contest, the free throw line dunk should be okay, but it may be a little difficult to play the crotch and turn around, or it may not be stretched enough.

However, today is the actual regular season, and there is no need for performances.

Of course, He Li added some elements of acting to the 75 dunks this time, but what He Li performed was handwork, not footsteps.

He Li rushed to the basket, still relying on talent, one step before the free throw line, three big steps flying into the sky, one-armed windmill dunk.

At this time, the gifted high school student in front of the TV set of a black family in Akron suddenly stared straight at him!

"It turns out that basketball can still be played like this?!"

It is said that after He Li dunked the basket, he took the initiative to ask for a foul in the 75ers' offensive round.

Before the first quarter was over, He Li had already scored 20 points in a single quarter.

There are only so many players and points for a team in a game. In order to give the three musketeers some opportunities to perform, He Li consciously chose to go off the field and rest first.

In the new season, He Li aims to defend his title. He Li feels that the obstacle to defending the championship is not outside, but within the wall.

The rise of He Li last season has affected the possession and statistics of the three musketeers, and this will continue to be the case this season.

But the three musketeers have already won the championship in the Bucks, and perhaps they still maintained the defending championship at the beginning of the season, sincerely and unanimously.

But as time goes by, perhaps they will think more and more about themselves.

This is human nature, and it is easy for He Li to think of it, and he can understand that everyone will inevitably have such thoughts.

Now that He Li has thought of it, he naturally won't wait for conflicts to arise before resolving them.

As the head of the Bucks, He Li said that he should take precautions and set the tone at the beginning of the season.

He Li's scoring data in the first quarter was similar, and in the middle two quarters, he tried his best to meet the shooting needs of the three musketeers.

As for whether they can play the data they are satisfied with, that is their own business.

He Li will only work as hard as possible in the middle two quarters, and distribute the ball well, and try to exert enough influence on his teammates.

As for the Bucks wanting to train rookies and help the veterans run the lineup, isn't there still a fourth quarter?

He Li said that if I didn't score points in the fourth quarter, no one should say that I also play in garbage time, so I will lose the face of fmvp?

No matter what the outside world thinks of him in the new season, He Li said that he still has to try.

But today is the opening game, and audiences all over the United States are watching the game, so He Li didn't do that.

If he was criticized, He Li's reputation would be ruined.

He Li was already a softie before, and Americans habitually look at other people with colored glasses, He Li does not want to be notorious.

Having said that, in the game between the Bucks and the 75ers, the Bucks took a 12-point lead in the first quarter alone.

He Li went down to rest first in the first quarter, but He Li also played a lot of time in the second and third quarters.

Before the end of the third quarter, the score was already 76 to 101, and the Bucks had widened the point difference to 25 points.

Among them, He Li made 14 of 10 shots, 10 of 7 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. With a 100% true shooting percentage, he scored 28 points.

In addition, there are 7 rebounds and 13 assists.

He Li scored such gorgeous statistics in the three quarters of the opening game, which can be said to be enough to attract attention.

However, it was He Li who wanted to retire. When the three quarters clocked in, someone in the Bucks snatched the limelight that should have belonged to He Li.

At the last 1 minute and 43 seconds of the third quarter, Boozer took advantage of He Li's pick-and-roll and then received He Li's lob and went inside for a dunk.

This is the second time Boozer has scored since he came on the court in the third quarter, and it was also the fifth time that Boozer came off the bench and scored in a sports game.

Coincidentally, Boozer scored 2 points every time. After this score, as a rookie who played the NBA regular season for the first time, scoring in double figures is still worth celebrating.

However, Boozer celebrated in a different way.

I saw Boozer after the dunk landed, baring his teeth and claws excitedly, roaring hysterically, then half-turned and gave Ollie, trying to open Sharingan for the referee who was standing on the baseline and didn't notice.

It's a pity that the referee is not Harden, and Boozer is not Artest.

Although Boozer's strikes were not that heavy, the angle of his strikes was a bit strange.

In short, if you score in double figures, let's kill a referee to add to the fun!
Well, heroes beforehand, bears afterward.Unlike Artest's toughness, Boozer panicked when he saw the referee lying on the ground covering his crotch.

"I won't be suspended, right?

It was the first time to meet such a good boss, and it was the first time to score in double figures in the regular season.

Two things worthy of celebration coincided, but why did it become like this? "

Boozer is stupid. If it weren't for the boxing referee, his career should be smooth.

But then, I'm afraid something will happen.

Seeing the referee's face gradually turning pale in pain, Boozer became even more flustered.

"The referees won't belching about this, will they? I'm going to jail? Will my rookie salary be enough to pay my lawyer's fees?"

"Referee, I was wrong, I'm begging you on my knees now, can you not die?"

Just when Boozer was panicking to the referee about his physical condition, the referee wanted to push Boozer away.

"Don't come here! It's terrible, this is a live broadcast across the United States!

Even if I'm fine, now everyone in the world knows that I have a problem!
If you are like this, how can I have the face to go to nightclubs in the future!

You hurt me, can you just laugh it off! "

The referee feels that there is nothing to love about life, and even if there is nothing wrong with the body, he will die socially.

The referee said that he didn't want to be ashamed, but today, Zhenjill, it's embarrassing...

It is said that such an accident occurred on the field, and the game could only be temporarily suspended.

However, since it was a live broadcast across the United States, the schedule for the opening match had already been arranged.

The audience for the next game between the Lakers and the Mavericks has already entered the Staples Center, and it is not good to keep them waiting for a long time.

For this reason, the game at the Bradley Center will continue soon.

The Bucks have reduced the suspense of the game to almost nothing in the first three quarters, and the suspense caused by Boozer's temporary play is also outside the game.

So in the next fourth quarter of the game, even if the 75ers had Iverson on the court to lead the team to chase points, the Bucks played back and forth with the 75ers just as a substitute player in the second team.

Even the previous 25-point lead didn't consume much.

Until the end of the game, the scores of the two teams were 103 to 126. Both teams scored high points, but the Bucks, who were superior, won a good start to the new season with a super high score of 126 points.
