I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 87 The initial meeting is general, the injury strikes (4000 chapters)

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Bucks and their team continued to fly to the southwest by plane, and then they will encounter the devil's away game one after another - the top three in Texas.

The three NBA teams located in Texas have always been strong in the West.But at the moment, Texas is in a situation where the top two are at the same time, and Mosaic is rotten through the center of the earth and is heading straight for the No. [-] pick.

In Texas' three-game streak, the Bucks will first encounter the Dallas Mavericks, currently third in the West.

It is worth mentioning that the Ninth National Games in China was successfully concluded not long ago. Wang Zhizhi ended his domestic trip and returned to the Mavericks in early December.

After more than half a month, Wang Zhizhi already has a place on the Mavericks' bench.

In other words, the next game will be the first Chinese derby in NBA history.

He Li came all the way to Dallas as a guest. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw Wang Zhizhi bringing a group of people to the airport to pick him up.

As soon as the players get off the plane, theoretically they have to go to a special hotel with the team, but if there are special circumstances, they can also be taken care of.

Therefore, George Karl allowed He Li, Wang Zhizhi and the others to leave first, and then join the main force after the old continuation and discussion were finished.

"He Li, hello! I'm Wang Zhizhi."

"Nice to meet you, He Li. I'm Wang GiGi's agent, Jeff Schwartz."

"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. I've heard of you for a long time! I'm the rough translator, Chen Weiming."

Before He Li and Wang Zhizhi met, the two had also been in contact by phone for several days.

But this is the first meeting, so it will inevitably be a little "unspeakable".

In fact, He Li is fine, not a difficult person to get along with. Wang Zhizhi is more introverted and shy, doesn't talk much, and doesn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Wang Zhizhi's manager and translator seemed to have something to say to He Li.

He Li got into Wang Zhizhi's car with a suitcase containing his personal belongings. After getting in the car, He Li felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he took the initiative to pat Wang Zhizhi and started to talk about it.

"GiGi, you did pretty well! I watched the game you just came to!" He Li deliberately called it GiGi.

There is no "zhi" in English, so we can only find the similar GiGi.

Of course, He Li was definitely not the first to call Wang Zhizhi that way.The title of Wang GiGi has already been called by thousands of people.

"Really? Thank you very much." Roughly scratched his head, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say much.

"Although I don't know you well, you may not be able to get along in the NBA like you are now!"

It was generally too boring, and He Li was also quite depressed. It would be boring to have an awkward chat with him alone.

Although there were other people in the car, He Li didn't want to listen to the general manager and translator.

Is it necessary to listen to them?It's really not necessary.

What He Li wants to say at this time is that last night he deliberately watched the details of the game against the Wizards when he just returned to the NBA.

He Li spent a long time preparing for this encounter today, who would have thought that it would be so boring.

It's like accumulating a punch, but it hits the cotton in the end, it's very uncomfortable.

In other words, roughly the first regular season game of this season, they played really well.

In that game, Nowitzki happened to be absent due to injury, so he probably had more playing time and shooting opportunities.

Roughly in the second quarter off the bench, he made three shots and did not perform well.

But in the third quarter, the Wizards took the Mavericks, the third in the West, by 22 points in two and a half quarters without Jordan's efforts.

At this time, the old Nelson chose to give up the game, removed the main players such as Steve Nash and Juwan Howard, and replaced them with substitute players roughly the same as Edondo Najera.

But who would have thought that he roughly hit three goals in a row, one of which was a three-pointer, scoring 7 points in a row, and Eduardo Najera hit two goals during the period.

The two substitutes suddenly exerted their strength and turned into bench gangsters, chasing 11 points in a row.

There are quite a few fans of Chinese descent in the Wizards, and because of the sudden outbreak, Wang GiGi's applause continued to come from the scene.

He Li also learned from the video after watching the video, hoping to touch the general idea and have something to talk to him about, but who would have thought that this would be a boring gourd, and he would not be able to fart for a long time.

Speaking of that game, Nash played and hit a valuable three-pointer, and the Mavericks instantly narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points.

Old Nelson felt that there was something to be done, and replaced the main force to chase points, but in the end he angered the old hooligan.

Originally, Jordan made 15 of 3 shots in the first three quarters and only scored 6 points. He performed more like Kobe than Kobe.

But in the fourth quarter, Jordan pressed the button of the gods, and the king returned, and at the critical moment, he did what a master should do.

第四节打满的乔丹，6投4中，罚球7投7中，单节砍下15分4篮板的恐怖数据。

When He Li watched the video, he really felt that Kobe was very similar to Jordan, or that superstar players should be like this.

He Li asked himself that he couldn't make such an amazing move in the fourth quarter.

If He Li only made 15 of 3 shots in the first three quarters, he might have defended himself to death in the fourth quarter, and he would never dare to make a few random shots to create a crazy scoring performance.

But Kobe can do it, Jordan can do it even better.

This made He Li have to admire.

Seeing the roughness in the game, He Li felt that there was no difference between himself and the roughness.

In the fourth quarter, it is to give up the ball. If there is a good shot opportunity, you can take one or two shots, but if there are no good opportunities, you can honestly be a role player.

He Li is not underestimated, but the reality is indeed like this.

However, there is no need for He Li to worry.Now that the body and skills are not at their peak, He Li is not a superstar player now, so what, we are not out of time.

He Li understands what he is, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

He Li is not like the No. 21 rookie who is about to meet next time. After entering the league, he basically does not see any progress. Even after seven or eight years, he has not improved but regressed!

As a result, with this retreat, the traditional center was set back 50 years.

……

He Li had been in touch with Dashu for a while, and it was really boring. Although Dashu said he had some ideas, but he didn't want to reveal them, so He Li couldn't help if he wanted to help.

It can only be said that Chairman Yao can adapt to the NBA, but generally cannot adapt to it. This is indeed not unreasonable.

He Li rested all night in Dallas, and he was in good spirits the next day.

During the daytime of the next day, He Li was practicing at the American Airlines Center Gymnasium, and he and Da Da met again, but in a mode of not talking much.

He Li has nothing to say about this.

Time soon arrived at night, and the game between the Bucks and the Mavericks officially began.

In this game, He Li got the chance to play in the opening 4 minutes, and it was the kind that got the right to shoot.

There is one thing to say, the current lineup of the Mavericks is quite restrained by the Bucks.

The Mavericks lineup is much better than the Bucks, with Juwan Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, and Danny Manning on the inside. This made Ray Allen and the big dog who wanted to hit the basket very depressed.

Teams that originally had an inside advantage can play fast breaks.However, the Mavericks have Finley, Nowitzki, and Nash. The fast break is not only not weak, but it seems to have stronger firepower.

At least the Mavericks play fast break, and Finley and Nowitzki can fast break one-stop and go directly to the basket.

The Bucks can only score points by shooting, and have few opportunities and abilities for layups and dunks.

It was precisely because the Bucks' lineup was restrained and the configuration advantages could not be brought into play, George Karl quickly replaced He Li when the team fell behind by 4 points in the first 5 minutes.

He Li replaced the big dog who was training with the iron, but Ray Allen didn't let go of the ball and wanted to find a chance to hit the basket.

This seems a little brainless!
But it's also understandable, after all, it's a critical moment, and people don't kill themselves for their own sake.

Ray Allen operated fiercely like a tiger, making two fouls suddenly or making shots. He made 7 of 1 shots in the first quarter and 4 of 4 free throws. But looking back, he only scored 6 points.

As for He Li, with the assist of Cassel, he made 4 of 3 shots in the first quarter and scored 6 points.

He Li's high efficiency in the first quarter was not due to playing Nowitzki, but after playing Danny Manning.

As a veteran, Danny Manning has no problem with defensive experience, but he is a glass man himself and he is getting older.

He Li singled out Danny Manning in the interior, and his efficiency was relatively high.

Of course, after the first quarter, Old Nelson paid attention to He Li.

The Mavericks led by 4 points in the first quarter, but the advantage is not great.

Carefully reviewing the first quarter, Nelson found that He Li was a point that cannot be ignored.

"I don't doubt that he can score on the court, but while scoring, he also grabbed a lot of rebounds and even passed assists! It's incredible!"

"Zhu Wan, your next task is to restrict He Li, don't let him shoot so easily again!"

"Dirk, if there is a suitable opportunity, I hope you can make more contributions on the defensive end!"

Obviously, the old Nelson used Uncle Huo to defend He Li alone, and let Nowitzki see the opportunity to double-team He Li.

As long as He Li can be restrained, the Bucks' limited inside scoring ability will become almost non-existent.

At that time, the Bucks can only see the feel of the three musketeers, and this will be a very risky thing for the Bucks.

The second quarter started soon, He Li continued to play, and with He Li leading the team, there were Dagou and Cassel, but Ray Allen was not on the stage.

After all, Ray Allen's choice in the first quarter was indeed a bit irrational.

If you play a weak team, George Karl can still let Ray Allen come, but the Mavericks right now are the top three teams in the Western Conference.

If the Bucks want to win this game, naturally they can't mess around.

In fact, sometimes, when the head star is not available, a sudden replacement may have a miraculous effect.

He Li made a pick-and-roll for Reed who had just played, and Reed jumped in front of Nash all at once.

Nash tried to defend for a while, and then began to gnash his teeth.

"Looking taller than me, jumping higher than me, and shooting left-handed, that's pretty outrageous!"

Reed made a shot and hit a three-pointer against Nash's defense.

"Don't worry, I lost you just now!" Finlay ran over to comfort Nash.

He Li was about to return to defense, and laughed out loud when he heard this: "Not only do you have Michael, we also have it!"

It happened that Reid and Finley were facing each other. Both of them were named Michael. Both of them had stable mid-range shots, good breakthroughs, and looked very strong.

When Finley heard He Li's words, he was a little unhappy: "You compare this kid to me?"

"Let's wait and see!" He Li didn't know, because of his words, Finley targeted Reed a little cautiously.

However, Reid is quite strong, and he has no problem with confrontation when attacking. In addition, he was underestimated by Finley, so he also got angry when attacking.

结果在第二节比赛中，雄鹿靠着6投3中，三分球3投2中拿下8分的里德，成功兑子7投3中拿下6分的芬利。

Among the remaining four-on-four, He Li packed away Uncle Huo and Nowitzki.

Nowitzki just suffered from injuries a while ago, and his state has not been very good recently.

With Anthony Mason's defense and He Li's assistance, Nowitzki only made 7 of 2 shots in the first half.

As for Second Uncle Huo, it was also because of injuries that his performance was average.

In addition, facing a player like He Li who can ignore defense and offense, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

何力在第二节12分钟的比赛时间里，打出了6投4中总计8分4篮板1助攻的数据。

Uncle Huo and Nowitzki together only had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

It is precisely because of this that the Bucks relied on He Li and Reed to contain the opponent's main players, and with Cassel sorting out the team's offense, the Big Dog's warmed up feel turned the tables against the wind.

After the first half, the Bucks led the Mavericks by 6 points.

It was also because of the advantage that He Li ran to the Mavericks bench for a while during the intermission.

Maybe He Li is also a coquettish person in his heart. He is alone in a foreign land, and he can't show the anger accumulated for several months to people who can understand.

Even though he didn't like He Li's behavior in general, He Li himself enjoyed it.

He Li ran to Da Da and said in Chinese: "Be patient and wait, I will try to let you play early in the next quarter."

What did He Li say?Bench players who don't see a chance to play come on early?This means that the game will reach the garbage time ahead of time?
What He Li said was subtle, but the meaning expressed in the subtext seemed very arrogant!
At other times, He Li's saying that might be a bit of a shame.

But for the delay in getting the chance to play, there is something urgent about it.

"In any case, I have to thank you. You are a good person, I'm not very good at talking, sorry." I thanked He Li roughly, but then fell silent again.

He Li came here in high spirits, but returned in frustration, he could only put all his unvented interest into the competition.

When the third quarter played for almost 7 minutes, as expected, the Mavericks were further opened up by the Bucks in the third quarter, and the score difference between the two teams suddenly became 20 points.

The Mavericks used up a lot of their main force in the first two quarters. Except for stamina monsters like Finley, everyone else had to go down to rest.

With Dirk Nowitzki and Uncle Huo absent, He Li is even more demanding in the Mavericks' interior.

Before playing in the third quarter, George Karl found that He Li scored the most efficiently in this field, so he arranged the tactical position for He Li during the intermission.

He Li also has the "unlimited fire right" for a period of time, so it's so fun to play!
Maybe it was too fun to play, or maybe it was because he didn't let go of his emotions before, He Li couldn't help but cast several iron-blooded big mid-range shots in the third quarter.

Seeing this, he shook his head again and again: "I really can't do it."

If you can't do it, there is nothing you can do. You have to face what you have to face.

Old Nelson looked at the main force as if he couldn't hold on anymore, he had no choice but to break the pot and let the substitute play.

The old Nelson was a little humane. Before He Li went off the field, he arranged for General to play and let General defend He Li.

"Your defense is really bad! Confrontation, we must strengthen the confrontation!"

He Li taught by precepts and deeds, and then he was a thought-provoking iron-blooded big shot.

After the shot, He Li had already scored 26 points and 11 rebounds. Since he only had 4 assists, it was a bit difficult for him to score, so the current data is enough.

In order to avoid too much embarrassment, after the dead ball session, he took the initiative to apply for exit.

So far in the game, He Li's data and performance are all better than Nowitzki's. Although the two did not match up much in this game, He Li is the more beautiful side after all, and He Li has the right to enjoy the sweet fruits of victory first.

He Li already has all-star player data, and bullying is generally meaningless.

They are all their own people, so there is no need to fight each other.

Next, He Li clocked out of get off work in the three quarters with peace of mind, focusing on the banner of health-preserving basketball.

I thought it was nothing to worry about, but I didn't want Ray Allen's sudden show, and flashed his own waist.

Ray Allen: Don't say anything, give you a split, no, dunk it!

Ray Allen broke through the basket and dunked, but he didn't want to jump too hard. After completing the dunk, he landed unstable and was injured.

The specific injury is not very clear in a short time, but after all, Ray Allen fell to the ground after dunking.

This made Uncle Huo, who had just taken off and blocked the block, panic: "It's really not me, I didn't touch him, he poured it himself, he is purely touching!"

Fortunately, when Ray Allen was injured, the Bucks still had a great advantage. George Karl saw that Nelson was still using the main force to chase points, so he chose to go all A's.

The final score was 109 to 102. The Bucks defeated the Mavericks by 7 points and won the first victory of the Texas Devils.
