Start without the ball

Chapter 142 Cuban
The Thunder came off the bench, and everyone was in a good mood because of the lead.

Donovan: "Everyone is doing a good job. Li, your rebounding is very good, but the Lone Ranger will make adjustments next. We can't take it lightly. Li, is it okay for you to attack so aggressively at the beginning?"

Li Haoyu replenished the water and said, "It's okay, coach, don't worry, I have a B number."

Due to the rush in the opening phase, Li Haoyu's physical energy was indeed consumed too much. When he was about to face a decline, Carlisle's timeout was just enough to slow him down.

Grant on the side asked worriedly, "Li, you won't stop making fried rice for me in the future, will you?"

Li Haoyu said with a smile:
"Don't worry, we are brothers, of course there is no problem with fried rice."

The audience behind the bench was much quieter. If the Thunder were behind, the Mavericks fans would be crazy about BB. However, now that the score is behind, Dongcic is suppressed by Li Haoyu on the scene, and the Mavericks fans can only pretend to be dead for the time being.

Back in the game, the Lone Ranger attacked.

Matthews came to the front court and gave the ball to Barnes at 45 degrees on the left.

Then the Lone Ranger guard led Schroeder to the left corner. At this time, Doncic went to the left corner and blocked Schroeder.

Matthews cut to the basket along the baseline, so fast that Li Haoyu had to switch defenses to follow.

Doncic and Schroder were left in the left corner, forming a dislocation, and Barnes passed the ball.

Dongcic thought that if I can't touch Li Haoyu, I can't arrange this 185cm defender?Then he started dribbling against Schroeder.

Schroeder couldn't bear the confrontation and retreated again and again. With space, Doncic made a mid-range shot.

"Shu~"

Two points hit, 10 to 5, the Lone Ranger's timeout paid off, and Dongcic was no longer obsessed with defeating Li Haoyu.

Schroeder was a little upset by Doncic's arrangement:

"Brother Li, that kid misplaced me!"

Li Haoyu: "Don't worry, I will let Adams help you get G back soon."

The Thunder attacked, Li Haoyu ran forward, landed in the left corner, and said to Doncic:
"Young man, why don't you play singles with me, don't be discouraged, your body is superior."

Doncic: "You can't even believe a single punctuation mark in what you said. Just wait, the victory in this game must belong to our Lone Ranger."

Li Haoyu thought to himself that this kid has regained his mentality, this is not going to work:
"Didn't you say you wanted to beat me? How did your team beat me? Afraid?"

Just as Doncic was about to say something, Adams and Grant surrounded him with strongman locking men tactics.

Poor, weak and helpless Doncic was locked in the bottom corner by two Thunder insiders.

Li Haoyu took the opportunity to run 45 degrees to the left and took Kleber away. After receiving the basketball, Grant cut to the basket along the baseline and took Jordan away.

Only Doncic and Adams were left in the left corner, and Li Haoyu lobbed the ball.

Adams rolled Doncic into the three-second zone and hit an easy hook.

12 to 5, the Lone Ranger attacked, and when Doncic ran forward, Barnes came over and said:
"Don't forget that kid had a foul, get him out and the rest of the Thunder are rotten fish and shrimp."

Only then did the Doncic Wizards react, came to the left 45 degrees, and took the basketball from Matthews with a smile on his face.

Li Haoyu must have thought of nothing good when he saw this kid smirking, and quickly realized that he was trying to use the home whistle to arrange me down.

Dongcic dribbled the ball a little, and immediately rushed to Li Haoyu's right hand.

If it was normal, Li Haoyu would definitely move ahead of time and stand still to make an offensive foul, but today's referee was a bit biased, and if he didn't handle it well, he might be called a second foul.

Immediately, Li Haoyu decided to stand still. Dongcic was so happy that he was suppressed by Li Haoyu after the opening. At this time, Li Haoyu did not act, so he just passed Li Haoyu in one step!
Doncic decided to go inside and make a dunk to boost morale, but suddenly his hands were empty.

It's Li Haoyu!

Stand still and let Dongcic go, thinking that Dongcic, who had passed his opponent with one step, neglected to protect the ball. Li Haoyu left the basketball in place from behind Dongcic. The person passed, but the ball did not pass.

Steal!

Seeing Li Haoyu break the basketball, Schroeder at the top of the arc immediately ran forward.

Li Haoyu passed the lob and Schroeder made a successful layup.

14 is better than 5

O'Neill: "This Dongcic was frozen by Li Haoyu, he never took advantage of the Huaguo defender."

Barkley: "Dongcic is superior in height and weight in all aspects, but his brain is really not as good as Li Haoyu."

O'Neal: "Do you remember what Cuban said? Doncic's golf intelligence is the best among rookies in this class!"

Barkley: "Has Cuban been slapped in the face less often? Doncic is indeed a good player, but it is too far away for someone like Li Haoyu who dares to let his teammates go to the middle circle to sing."

O'Neill: "With the lowest salary in the league to play such an outstanding performance, the Thunder really took advantage of it. I have to admire the Thunder's management's vision for selection."

In the next game, Doncic gave up going it alone, and the Lone Ranger's offense began to improve.

But the Thunder's offensive remained, and it was difficult for the Lone Ranger to resist. At the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled 34-20.
The Thunder led by 14 points.

柯凡：“宇子哥第一节已经拿到12分2篮板4助攻了还有2次抢断，反观东契奇只拿到5分3助攻，第一节中李浩宇可是完胜东契奇啊！”

Yang Yi: "Today's Li Haoyu is really too strong, he has an extremely impressive performance on both offense and defense!"

Ke Fan: "I think Cuban can't sit still at this time. Doncic, who he said is the best golfer, was completely crushed by Brother Yuzi."

Yang Yi: "Tell a ghost story, Westbrook and George are coming back soon."

Barrage.

"@cuban came out and got beaten."

"Cuban has always said whatever he wants, just listen to it as a joke."

"The Lone Ranger still blackmails me Yuzi brother at this level?"

"Tui, team safety, don't go back."

On the sidelines, Cuban looked a little anxious. He thought that Li Haoyu would have good strength, but he didn't expect that Li Haoyu not only completely suppressed Doncic in the matchup, but also led the team to take the lead.

What's even more annoying is that Li Haoyu didn't do rebounds anymore. Two tough offensive rebounds were hung on the data panel, which made Cuban unacceptable.

Cuban said to the assistant next to him:
"How come no one noticed such a strong person during the draft!"

Assistant: "His performance in the NCAA was not outstanding, and he only appeared in people's vision in the summer league."

Cuban: "You can tell Carlisle in a while that you can lose this game, but you must let Doncic beat Li Haoyu in terms of statistics at any cost. Do you understand what I mean!"

Assistant: "Understood."
