Start without the ball

Chapter 139 The Game Begins

In the Thunder locker room, Li Haoyu changed his jersey and stepped onto the court to warm up with his teammates.

As soon as they walked out of the player tunnel, the Dallas fans on both sides began to arrange.

"I came to see the NBA game, not to see you monkey!"

"Monkey, you will know what cruelty is today!"

"Go to CBA, it suits you better!"

"How many rebounds does Mr. Li plan to do today?"

Li Haoyu raised his middle finger, and when he was about to face the stands, Grant quickly grabbed Li Haoyu's hand.

"Are you crazy? There are fans filming! Shinobu calmed down for a while, and responded to them with the game."

Sure enough, Li Haoyu looked around, and the fans had already prepared their mobile phones, waiting for him to be irritated.

Carving his own impulse, Li Haoyu walked into the court and began to warm up.

"Shu~"

"Shu~"

"Shu~"

Scoring three three-pointers in a row, I feel pretty good today.

After the warm-up, the staff signaled the players to return to the channel and wait to play.

Accompanied by DJ's introduction, all Thunder members walked out of the passage.

When the DJ reported Li Haoyu's name, the American Airlines Center booed all over the sky, and the momentum seemed to break through the ceiling.

If it was Li Haoyu at the beginning of the season, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, but now, Li Haoyu, who has grown into a strong contender for the best rookie, ran out of the channel calmly and stood at the end of the team.

After the Thunder's appearance, the lights on the scene were turned off, and a beam of bright lights shone on the passage of the home team's Mavericks. When Luka Doncic, the future of Dallas, stepped into the American Airlines, the Dallas fans responded with warm cheers.

After Dongcic stood still, he looked at Li Haoyu with strong hostility in his eyes.

Grant: "The kid is staring at you."

Li Haoyu: "Let him see, he will suffer later."

At this time, Dirk Nowitzki stepped onto the court, and the fans greeted the retiring Finals MVP with deafening cheers.

After the entrance ceremony, players from both sides returned to the bench to make final preparations.

Li Haoyu gathered his teammates together:
"Let the Texans see the power of thunder! We will proceed according to the pre-match arrangement, but there is one thing that needs to be changed, Adams and Grant, you must protect the backboard as soon as possible, and we must play more fast breaks!"

Grant: "Don't, just like Brother Turtle said, brush your own rebounds and let others grab lemons. You have to stick to your heart and don't change your style of play just because the Texans mocked you."

Li Haoyu: "I am not compromising with the Texans, you will know in a while!"

Adams pinched Grant's arm: "You mean I can get a rebound? Hey, why doesn't it hurt? Am I dreaming?"

Grant: "That's my arm!"

Li Haoyu: "Stop arguing, be serious! Who are we!"

Everyone roared in unison: "Thunder!"

Li Haoyu: "What is our goal today?"

"Kick a Texan's ass!"

Li Haoyu: "That's right, go, and demolish the American Airlines Center with me!"

After the preparations, the players from both sides returned to the field to take their positions.

Lone Ranger starters: center Jordan, power forward Kleber, small forward Doncic, shooting guard Barnes, point guard Matthews.

Thunder starters: center Adams, power forward Grant, small forward Ferguson, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "The Thunder's lineup is at a disadvantage. Grant's height and weight are not as good as Kleber's. Ferguson's weight is far inferior to Doncic's. Brother Yuzi is also at a disadvantage against Barnes' height and weight. Schroeder's height is also poor. Matthews is 10 centimeters, except for the center position, the Thunder has a disadvantage in almost every point."

Yang Yi: "George and Westbrook are absent, this is the strongest lineup the Thunder can come up with."

On the court, the referee threw the ball into the air, Jordan made a jump ball, and the Mavericks took the lead in attacking.

Knowing that he is not as tall and fast as Barnes, Li Haoyu chose to defend Doncic.

Matthews came to the frontcourt and saw Li Haoyu defending Doncic at 45 degrees to the left, and passed the ball.

After Doncic got the ball, he signaled Kleber to pull away from the left side, and he wanted to play singles!
TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "Did the match start on the first ball?"

Barkley: "It's dry without foreplay."

On the field, Doncic doesn't have many BBs, and after dribbling, he bulges to the right, and his height and weight are so unreasonable.

However, he overlooked one point!That's speed!

During the entrance ceremony, Li Haoyu knew that Dongcic wanted to defeat him, not to mention that his height and weight had a huge advantage, and anyone would fight hard in this situation.

The moment Dongcic moved, Li Haoyu moved immediately, and stood on the path of Dongcic first, waiting for him to hit him, and then fell down.

"Drip~"

Li Haoyu fell to the ground and looked at the referee, this dog actually signaled to block the foul!
Before his teammates came to pull him, Li Haoyu immediately got up and negotiated with the referee.

"I was already standing when he hit it. This ball is an offensive foul with the ball!"

Referee: "All I see is a block."

Li Haoyu was about to argue, but Grant quickly pulled the team bully away.

At this time, the broadcast screen was replayed, and the footage showed that Li Haoyu had indeed gained a firm foothold before Dongcic hit him.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "Obviously, this is a misjudgment."

Yang Yi: "I hope Brother Yuzi won't affect his mentality because of this."

Barrage.

"Isn't this referee cheap?"

"Special referee?"

"The home whistle has begun"

The first round of the confrontation ended with the referee's whistle, and the Lone Ranger fans continued to put pressure.

"I knew you couldn't guard Doncic!"

"Monkey, the referee won't listen to you, go back and find your mother!"

"As long as you can still make fouls, go back and practice for two years!"

"Ball certificates, circumstantial certificates, sponsors, co-organizers, all units are ours, how do you fight us?"

Li Haoyu calmed down quickly and could not affect his mentality because of the penalty.

On the field, Doncic served the ball outside the line and passed it to Matthews at the top of the arc.

Matthews knew that Li Haoyu must pay attention to the defensive scale for a foul, and signaled his teammates to vacate the low post on the left and command Doncic to take a position.

Doncic easily got to the basketball one step outside the three-second zone.

Li Haoyu knows that there must be a gap in strength. If he defends normally, it must be for nothing. Let's deal with his mentality first.

"Boy, the best rookie is mine, don't even think about it!"

The 19-year-old young and energetic Dong Qiqi heard that he was unhappy, and dribbled hard to push back!
This is what we were waiting for, Li Haoyu withdrew to the side the moment Dongcic dribbled the ball and headed over!
Doncic rushed to nothing!
Without Li Haoyu behind him to slow him down, he gradually lost his balance.

Fortunately, Doncic responded in a timely manner, received the basketball in time, and passed it to Matthews at the top of the arc before falling to the ground.

There is not much time left, Matthews made a decisive shot after receiving the ball!

　Thanks to the boss of [Not Envious of Immortals] for the reward.
