Start without the ball

Chapter 159 After the Raptors Game
Li Haoyu was originally on the sideline to interfere with Green's serve. After the game was over, when he watched the Raptors rush towards Siakam, he felt a little disappointed.

Today he scored 36 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, but the efforts of the whole game were buried in the last 0.8 seconds, which is too difficult.

Grant was also annoyed. He was distracted by Leonard running towards the top of the arc, and Gasol came to cover him. When he realized it was too late, he could only watch Siakam dunk lore .

Westbrook on the field looked at the lonely look of his teammates, walked into the field, and came to Li Haoyu's side:
"Man, you were good enough today. You know you made a three-pointer in Leonard's face. They were lucky. I'm not here this time. Next time we'll kick their ass together."

Li Haoyu was also a little helpless, but this was just a regular season, the game was over, it was useless to be upset, so he cheered up and prepared to go back to the locker room.

"Wait a minute, please! Can I have an interview?"

Li Haoyu turned around and found that it was Zhang Manyuan, the front reporter of Yangshi Sports.

Li Haoyu: "Okay, try not to pierce your heart."

Zhang Manyuan had a hearty smile on his face: "Okay."

With the camera in place, Zhang Manyuan contacted the director, and the interview began.

Zhang Manyuan: "In this game, you still played well, scored 36 points, and your opponent Leonard scored 32 points. In this scoring contest, it is obviously you who won. What do you do about it? Opinion?"

Li Haoyu: "It's a pity that we didn't win this game, which makes me very sad. We had the lead, but we couldn't seize the opportunity."

Zhang Manyuan: "It's a pity that you failed to win, but before 0.8, when you faced Leonard with the ball, you made a difficult pullback. Can you ask why you didn't dribble?"

Li Haoyu: "Leonard's body is superior and his defense is extremely strong. If I dribble, there is a risk of being intercepted. On the other hand, in the eyes of these players, I have never played cards according to common sense at critical moments. I have been unlucky." They don’t dare to act rashly, so I can take the initiative.”

Zhang Manyuan: "When you shot, Leonard's palm completely blocked your sight. How did you complete the shot?"

Li Haoyu: "The intuition of the shooter, I knew the basket was there, and I completed the shot with muscle memory."

Zhang Manyuan: "The three-pointer was really tough. Unfortunately, the last 0.8 seconds ruined the game. Can you talk about the situation at that time?"

Li Haoyu: "I was interfering with the serve. I didn't know much about the situation on the court at the time. I only knew that Leonard was rushing to the top of the arc. I once thought that he would execute the last shot. I didn't expect the Raptors to secretly hide Chen Cang on the plank road." , After Gasol covered Leonard, helped Siakam get rid of the defense and rushed to the basket, Raptors coach Nurse arranged a perfect tactic."

Zhang Manyuan: "Before I also thought that it would be Leonard who made the last shot. Thank you very much for accepting the interview. I wish you good luck."

After the interview, Li Haoyu was about to go back to the locker room, when Leonard came to say hello:
"Great game, you are really strong, you can make that three-pointer in front of me."

Li Haoyu: "For you, this game may be great, but for me, today is not a good day."

Leonard: "It's all over, come on in the playoffs."

Li Haoyu: "You know, seeing your cold expression on the field, I really didn't expect you to come to say hello."

Leonard: "I'm really not good at talking, but I think I should come over and say hello, you are very strong."

"Next time I will take Russell and George to defeat you!"

Leonard smiled faintly and turned away.

When Li Haoyu returned to the locker room, everyone was silent. The usually lively locker room was very quiet at this time. It was frustrating to lose the game at the last moment.

Looking at his listless teammates, Li Haoyu knew he should do something, and clapped three times to attract everyone's attention:

"Hey, why don't you talk like a dead person, cheer up."

Grant's expression was still very frustrated: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't follow Siakam."

Schroeder: "I am also responsible. If I am more accurate in the third quarter, maybe we will be able to end the game then."

Veteran Felton stood up: "Guys, those guys from the north are just lucky, this game is over, don't blame yourself."

Li Haoyu: "Yeah, this is a regular season. Besides, Russell and George were absent and we played with them until the last moment. If they were on the court, wouldn't it be 40 points against them? Let's cheer up .”

Ferguson: "Brother Li, don't worry, if I meet the Raptors next time, I won't let Leonard score easily. I have figured out his routine."

"That's right, everyone, be optimistic. If you lose this time, it will be fine to beat them back the next time you meet. Next time we will press them to the ground and rub them together."

Grant: "That kid Siakam counted him lucky today, and I will definitely watch him to death next time."

"And me! Although I played against Lowry in the fourth quarter, the chubby guy broke through too many times in the first three quarters. Next time, I won't be able to defend him!"

Li Haoyu raised his hand in the air and called his teammates over: "Come here, where is this?"

The generals of Thunder stood up one after another, put their hands on Li Haoyu's palms, and shouted in unison.

"OKC!"

"who are we?"

"Thunder!"

"What should I do next time I meet the Raptors?"

"Kick their ass!"

"Is Ferguson iron?"

"iron!"

Ferguson asked weakly: "Can't you use Brother Gui?"

Everyone regained their expressions, and the locker room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

At this time, Raptors head coach Nurse was being interviewed at a media conference.

Zhang Manyuan: "Some Huaguo fans jokingly call you a tactical genius. What do you think of this title?"

Nurse: "Really? I like this title very much. It is an affirmation of my tactical ability."

Reporter: "The last alley-oop lore tactic was very successful, is it your masterpiece?"

Nas adjusted his glasses and said proudly:
"Of course, I realized that the Thunder would focus on Kawhi, so I designed him as a bait to help Siakam rush inside to complete the lore."

Reporter: "Why do you prefer the three small lineups? You must know that the three small lineups once put you in a passive position."

Nurse thought to himself, you think that labor and capital are thinking, and I don’t have a backup small forward, so I have to let shooting guard Powell play as a guest, and Kobe Bryant plays small forward, and the backup shooting guard has to let Van Jordan comeo, it’s not easy to come up with this set of three small forwards up.

Nas: "Ahem, I have my own intentions for this lineup."

Reporter: "Thunder player Li Haoyu scored 36 points in this game, and even hit a crucial three-pointer at a critical moment. What do you think of this player's strength?"

Nurse: "How strong is it? Man, his influence on the court is unimaginable. We tried different methods to limit him in this game, but you saw that he still scored 36 points. If it weren't for me His tactical ability is outstanding and he has arranged an exquisite tactic, the winner of this game is him, the strength of this Huaguo rookie is absolutely beyond doubt."
