Start without the ball

Chapter 22 My Domain
After making the free throw, Li Haoyu did not retreat, found Lu Wei, and posted it.

This is the method Li Haoyu came up with.

Drag Lu Wei into his familiar territory.

Then defeat him with rich experience.

If you can't prevent Lu Wei who holds the ball, don't let him catch the ball.

Lu Wei, who is 185cm tall and weighs only 80kg, has no way to force the ball against Li Haoyu, who is one size bigger.

If you want to attack, you must get rid of Li Haoyu first. It just so happens that Li Haoyu's understanding of running without the ball has broken through the sky.

It is very difficult for anyone to get rid of Li Haoyu without the ball.

Lu Wei, who was stuck, wanted to get rid of this ignorant rookie quickly.

Take a step to the left and then try to suddenly go to the right to catch the ball.

This kind of trick was seen through by Li Haoyu. Lu Wei didn't step on the first step at all, and he definitely wouldn't move in the direction of the first step, so just block him in the opposite direction.

Harrell, who served from the baseline, saw that Lu Wei couldn't get rid of it, and gave the ball to Alexander who came to meet him.

The ball goes to Alexander.

After halftime, Lu Weiben thought that Li Haoyu would relax his defense, but he didn't expect that the Thunder rookie was still sticking to him, showing no signs of letting up.

TNT commentary seats.

Barkley: "It's interesting. This Lee is eyeing Louis. As a rookie, he is really courageous. This is the first quarter. He is so defensive. Is he afraid that he will lose his energy?"

O'Neill: "That's how it should be. Obviously Li Haoyu can't prevent Lu Wei from holding the ball, so just don't let Lu Wei catch the ball."

Barkley: "Let's see if he can do it first."

Lu Wei took Li Haoyu to the left corner, waiting for Harrell's cover.

Li Haoyu observed the situation on the field while sticking close to Lu Wei.

When Harrell came over, Lu Wei walked close to Harrell, Li Haoyu had no room to squeeze through, but it didn't bother him, he turned around with a dexterous back.

With a step inside the three-point line, Scott's cover came to 45 degrees and reached for the ball.

However, Lu Wei made a big taboo and didn't stick close to Scott.

Li Haoyu laughed, he can never defeat me in the field I am familiar with!

He successfully squeezed through the gap left by Lu Wei.

Alexander, holding the ball at the top of the arc, only saw Lu Wei coming to 45 degrees, but did not see Li Haoyu who squeezed through the screen. His sight was blocked by Scott who was making the screen.

Alexander played the ball at 45 degrees and regretted it when he passed it.

Li Haoyu suddenly appeared between Scott and Lu Wei, and slammed the racket forward.

After accelerating, pick up the ball and drive away!

Li Haoyu had already started to speed up, and the Clippers players had no time to return to defense, so they could only watch Li Haoyu dribble to the three-second zone.

After adjusting the stride length, he kicked the ground with his right foot fiercely and rose into the air.

boom!
Li Haoyu ended the attack with a one-handed dunk.

16:26.

Li Haoyu defended Lu Wei without the ball.

After dunking, Li Haoyu ran straight to Lu Wei and posted it again.

Take out the attitude, Li Haoyu is going to fight Lu Wei to the death.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "Did you see that back turn he made around Harrell? It was so beautiful, it didn't waste a bit of time."

Barkley: "Why is his defense without the ball the same as changing someone? There are flaws everywhere when defending the ball. The opponent doesn't have the ball and behaves like Beverly."

The Clippers attacked, and Lu Wei tried to get rid of him, but he couldn't get rid of Li Haoyu no matter what, time wasted like this.

Alexander didn't dare to take the risk of passing the ball anymore. With 24 seconds to end, he made a mid-range shot with the help of Scott's pick-and-roll.

It's hard.

Grant stuck Harrell behind him and was about to take the rebound, when he suddenly saw Li Haoyu running.

As the saying goes, the hand that grabs people is short, the mouth that eats people is soft, and the hand that is stretched out is put down again.

Li Haoyu accepted the rebound with a smile, passed the ball to Felton and ran forward happily.

Seeing this scene, O'Neal couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "The Thunder's big man has no spine at all? It's fine to give up the rebound to Russell. How can a guard come in and let it go?"

Barkley: "When will the unhealthy trend of rebounding be curbed? Back then, we had to fight for rebounds and get stuck in positions. I don't know how many dark elbows we suffered. Now the guards just take the rebounds like this?"

Grant didn't know that because of his concession, he had become a scum in the eyes of the two celebrities.

But he didn't care, it wasn't the rice from Buckley's family.

Li Haoyu reached the frontcourt and sank to the left corner. He had consumed a lot of energy in the past few rounds, so he didn't plan to participate in this attack.

George was at 45 degrees on the right, holding the ball to face Mbah a Moute, the ball changed direction suddenly with his left hand, and at the same time stepped out of his right leg.

Mbah a Moute was wary of George's breakthrough and could only retreat again and again.

George's ball is in his right hand, and he dribbles back to his left hand from under his right leg, and at the same time his body withdraws from the three-point line.

After pulling out the shooting space and making a three-point shot, this kind of ball belongs to George's rhythm.

"Shu~"

Three point hit!

George's three-pointer finally opened the pot.

19 to 26, the Thunder was only 7 points behind.

There were 16 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Clippers held the final attack, and Alexander dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Originally, this attack belonged to Lu Wei, but Lu Wei was stuck on by Li Haoyu like a dog's skin plaster, so Alexander had to come by himself.

After pressing the time to 8 seconds, Harrell came up to pick and roll, and Alexander successfully broke through.

Facing the supplementary defense, Alexander distributed the ball to Mbah a Moute on the wing.

Mbah a Moute made a three-pointer and missed, the lights went on, and the first quarter ended.

Back on the bench Li Haoyu sat on the bench panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

Patterson next to him saw how tired Li Haoyu was, so he asked, "Is it worth it? It takes so much energy to defend, don't be so sticky."

Li Haoyu took a sip of water and said, "I don't want to lose, it's that simple."

Li Haoyu knew what Patterson meant, and asked him to save energy and move more to attack, so that the statistics would look good.

But the Thunder is now behind, and it is impossible to recover the point difference if Lu Wei is not prevented from scoring.

Even if you don't stick to the defense, you can attack one more time.

Li Haoyu only likes victory, he has always been a pure person.

Donovan saw that Li Haoyu was a little tired, and asked, "How is your physical fitness?"

Li Haoyu: "The rest between festivals is enough, no problem."

Donovan: "That's good, I want you to keep guarding Louis."

And the other side.

Clippers coach Rivers gathered the players and quickly arranged two sets of tactics for Lu Wei to catch the ball. He had to ensure that the super bench had the ball in his hands.

After the arrangement was over, Beverly approached Lu Wei and asked, "Bro, is his defense that uncomfortable?"

Lu Wei: "When I had the ball in my hand, his defense was full of loopholes. After two rounds, I thought the score was going to explode today. I didn't expect this rookie to start posting me immediately."

After taking a sip of water, Lu Wei continued: "It's really hard to get rid of it after posting it. It's not your kind of defense that is always confrontational. He seems to know my running route, and he can always find a way to cover it. Can still follow me."

Beverly: "It's interesting, I want to learn from it."

Lu Wei: "Wake up, you're not a scorer and he won't defend you like this."
