Start without the ball

Chapter 175 Meeting the Lakers Again
The final score of the game was 102 to 119. In the first game of Westbrook and George's return, the Thunder beat the Timberwolves by 17 points.

The three thunderbolts combined to score 64 points, of which Li Haoyu scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in just three quarters, completely crushing Wiggins' 18 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. In the contest, Li Haoyu won a complete victory.

Westbrook played for 1 minute in the fourth quarter, got a rebound and fouled out. In the comeback battle, the Turtles scored another triple-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

George got back to his form late, and he didn't play in the fourth quarter. His statistics were only 17 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.

After the game, ESPN reporter Howard interviewed Westbrook who had just returned.

Howard: "First of all, congratulations on winning today's game. The opening stage was not smooth. What happened at that time?"

Westbrook: "George and I have just recovered from our injuries. We haven't played for a month. We need time to adapt to the rhythm of the game. The Timberwolves played very well in the beginning. We couldn't find our status for a long time. Fortunately, Lee played after the timeout , From then on, George and I gradually found our status and finally won the game."

Howard: "In the previous games, Lee was often placed in the rotation lineup. This game is also the longest game the three of you have played at the same time. How do you feel?"

Westbrook: "Amazing! Lee's ability is beyond your imagination. We can easily find the offensive rhythm when he is on the court. He is the catalyst of our offense. He also has excellent finishing ability. You can also see that he is on the court. Then we started chasing points.”

Howard: "Okay, then why did you play in the fourth quarter?"

Those who should come will always come, but Westbrook has rich experience in dealing with reporters, and said with a serious face:

"Next question."

Seeing that Westbrook was a little displeased, Howard changed the topic:
"Will the three of you start at the same time in the next game?"

Westbrook certainly hopes that Li Haoyu can start, the assists are so cool!
"I hope so, but it depends on the manager."

Howard: "Okay, thank you for accepting today's interview and good luck to you."

In a villa in Los Angeles, a petite woman finished her creation by the piano, stretched her waist and said:

"Ah~ I finally finished writing this song~ I'm exhausted."

The assistant on the side said: "You can rest well for the next two days~"

"I haven't watched the NBA live yet, can you help me watch the Thunder's games these two days?"

The assistant flipped through the phone, checked the schedule and said:

"Tomorrow night the Thunder will play at home against the Lakers, and we can fly to Oklahoma City in the morning."

The woman said excitedly:
"Wow, that's really great~ OK, you book a ticket, let's have a big meal first to celebrate the completion of this song."

Assistant: "There's really nothing I can do with a foodie like you."

At five o'clock the next day, in an ordinary apartment in Oklahoma City.

This bowl is big~
Don't be vain.

Truth~
This big bowl of lasagna is also expensive.

Li Haoyu woke up from his sleep and turned off the alarm clock.

Because Li Haoyu was often shocked by electric shocks during training, he is very sensitive to electricity now. This big bowl of rough noodles can make Li Haoyu feel the fear of being shocked by electric shocks, and it is perfect as an alarm clock.

Moreover, using this song as an alarm clock is like being shocked by an electric shock. After waking up, Li Haoyu will not feel the slightest sleepiness. Li Haoyu enters the training space with the ball in full swing.

A few hours later, when Li Haoyu exited the space, the progress of the cross step was 1161/10000 on the left and 1203/10000 on the right.

After washing up and having breakfast, Li Haoyu drove to the training hall to practice shooting, and his teammates arrived one after another.

Today the Thunder will play against the Los Angeles Lakers. After all the players are here, everyone comes to the conference room to prepare for tonight's game.

Assistant coach Bayer led everyone to analyze the Lakers game video, and then arranged defensive tactics.

Finally, Donovan got up and said: "You all know the situation, I will now announce today's starting list, center Adams, power forward Grant, small forward Paul George, point guard Russell, shooting guard—— "

After a pause, Donovan raised his voice:
"Li Haoyu!"

This is a decision he and Bayer have considered for a long time. Li Haoyu, Westbrook and George will start at the same time!
Half an hour before the game, the domestic media got the news that the three will be playing at the same time.

Duan Ran: "This is the first time Westbrook, George, and Li Haoyu have started at the same time. This is Thunder's affirmation of Li Haoyu!"

Yang Yi: "Yes, Li Haoyu's role in the Thunder was similar to that of Louis Williams before, but it's different now. Li Haoyu has won a more important role through his strong performance."

Duan Ran: "Yes, coming off the bench is not conducive to Li Haoyu's growth, just like Lu Wei and Ke Lu, who are top-notch but can only be stars instead of first-line stars. The first game against the Thunder is to vigorously cultivate Li Haoyu."

Yang Yi: "Today's Thunder's opponent, the Lakers, is not doing well recently. Lonzo Ball was reimbursed for the season. After a wave of three-game losing streak, the Lakers are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference. The playoffs are in jeopardy. They need a victory to stop the decline. "

Duan Ran: "The Lakers spent a lot of money to sign LeBron James, but they still have to fight for the playoffs."

Yang Yi: "The lineup does not match, James needs to customize a lineup."

Duan Ran: "Now it seems that Brother Yuzi is really strong, perfectly compatible with various lineups, plug and play."

On the court, the jersey is warming up, George feels much better, and has hit 5 goals in a row.

Li Haoyu was finally put on the starting lineup today. He was in a good mood. He dribbled the ball to the center circle. After a run-up, he threw the ball to the basket.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and fell into the net~.

The fans applauded Li Haoyu one after another. This is the home court of the Thunder. As the star of the game, Westbrook also came to the middle circle with an entertaining spirit, and shot after a run-up.

The arc is much lower than that of Li Haoyu, and the basketball flies to the basket and then delays.

Unexpectedly, the basketball hit the back and fell into the basket.

"Shit! Russell also hit a three-pointer in the center circle!"

"It seems that our boys are in good condition!"

Westbrook hit a three-pointer in the circle and looked at Li Haoyu triumphantly: "Bro, I can do this too."

Ha. Turtle swelled.

Li Haoyu decided to dispel the arrogance of the turtle, came to the three-point line, picked up the ball and said: "Do you know this?"

Then Li Haoyu kicked off the ground, aimed at the basket, and pulled out the basketball in his hand in an extremely standard posture.

Using the left hand!
"Shu~"

The basketball went into the net hollow, and Guigui walked away in a daze, he really didn't know how to do this.

After beating the inflated iron turtle, Li Haoyu continued to warm up and came to the side near the bench at 45 degrees to prepare to shoot.

"Li Haoyu, come on!"

Behind him came the sound of cheering in Mandarin!The voice was very sweet, Li Haoyu looked back, it turned out to be her!
