Start without the ball

Chapter 242 The first match of the series is (じ☆veぷ☆炎) the helmsman of the boss adds more

On April 4, the Oklahoma City Thunder will face their second-round opponent, the Portland Trail Blazers.

After the first round of the game, Li Haoyu has adapted to the intensity of the playoffs. What he has to do is to maintain his form. Two hours before the game, he came to the Pisacek Energy Center as usual to find his shooting rhythm.

Passing by the security room, the chubby black uncle greeted with a smile: "Hey, you came early again. You are really hardworking. No wonder you are so accurate in the game. Practice to your heart's content. No one here will chase you away."

It seems that Uncle Security also knew about being kicked out of the AT&T Center last time. Li Haoyu responded with a smile, went to the locker room, changed his clothes and sneakers, and came to the stadium.

Today's arena is more elaborately arranged than the first round. The slogan "dust to dawn" can be seen everywhere, and the blue jerseys are placed on the seats. The fans who enter the stadium will wear this jersey to print and dye the entire arena. Into a blue ocean.

Li Haoyu picked up the basketball, walked to the left corner, and took off to shoot.

bang~
When the first ball was ironed, Li Haoyu moved his arm slightly, and when he ran to the basket to pick up the ball, the staff who were arranging the venue came over:

"Hey, Lee, can I pass the ball for you?"

"Of course, it couldn't be better, thank you."

"It's an honor, you don't know how much we like you now, look, I'm still wearing Air Fear of God 1~"

Li Haoyu has a bright smile on his face. Since he showed his strength in the playoffs against the Spurs, there have been more and more fans. They went to the pet supermarket to buy cat food for Ju Miao (this stupid dog likes canned cats), supermarkets The boss offered to waive the order, but Li Haoyu quickly refused.

Even when he went to the restaurant to eat, the boss asked the waiter to pack a pizza and give it to Li Haoyu. If he refused to accept it, he would not let him go. Full, this pizza was finally eaten by an orange creature.

With the team's lowest salary but playing at the thigh level, Li Haoyu has become a heartthrob in Oklahoma City, and now he can really pay for it with his face.

With the help of the staff, Li Haoyu spared himself the burden of picking up the ball and concentrated on shooting. Half an hour later, Li Haoyu was sweating a little, and Lillard walked in.

The Trail Blazers guard first came to Li Haoyu's field to say hello: "Hey, Li, you seem to be in good shape.

Can I practice shooting over there?I know you are a person of grace, you shouldn't drive me away like DeRozan. "

The staff looked at Li Haoyu, he was waiting for a look, as long as Li Haoyu gave some hints, he would take the initiative to drive away the leading star of the Blazers.

It has to be said that Lillard has a high emotional intelligence. He first came to say hello, and then made a request in an irresistible way.

"You don't have to do this, just practice as you like, even if you don't come to say hello, I won't drive you away."

Lillard nodded with a smile and walked to another court. Li Haoyu also continued his shooting practice. Later, Grant and Ferguson also arrived one after another.

An hour before the game, the whole team arrived at the arena. After a full warm-up and stretching, Donovan led the team back to the locker room.

"Later, we will meet our opponents in the second round. I know some of you think you have already advanced, but I want to remind you that they defeated the No.3 Denver Nuggets in the West. Don't underestimate their offensive firepower."

After Donovan looked at the crowd, he continued:

"Today's tactical points have already been reminded yesterday. Russell is the main attacker when attacking. Their inside line does not have Alder to protect the frame, so they can break through boldly.

On defense, pay attention to the pick-and-roll of the two guards holding the ball. They are very fast, so you must be more careful, and the inside line must follow up to delay. "

Looking at his watch, Donovan cleared his throat and asked with the loudest voice: "Boys, go and win your first victory. I'll wait for your triumphant return!"

Veteran Felton reached out "one, two three"

thunder!
Calling out the team name in unison, Thunder soldiers walked out of the locker room and waited at the entrance of the passage.

At this time, the Trail Blazers players were on the field, and the fans booed all over the field to demonstrate to the visiting team.

When Lillard entered the court, the lights of the Pisacek Energy Center went out, and a bright beam of light illuminated the road ahead of the Thunder.

With the sound of DJ's introduction and the deafening cheers of fans, everyone stepped onto the battlefield tonight.

"Now the MVP of the 2019 All-Star Rookie Challenge, the MVP of the 2019 All-Star Game, the champion of the 2019 three-point contest, our future hope, from Huaguo-Li! Hao! Yu!"

The Thunder fans roared 'Hua Guo Li' short and powerfully, full of momentum.

George came out immediately, and the fans applauded, but the shouts were not as enthusiastic as Li Haoyu.

Westbrook's appearance ignited the entire Pisacek Center, and the fans were crazy for him. Here, he has unparalleled influence.

After the entrance ceremony, players from both sides returned to the bench to make final preparations. TNT arranged for O'Neal and Barkley to be today's guest commentators.

O'Neal: "The Thunder have been resting for almost a week, and they should have made sufficient preparations for this game."

Barkley: "Not necessarily, the Blazers have experienced a life-and-death battle, and their game state is better."

O'Neill: "Then you mean you are optimistic about the Blazers' away win?"

Barkley: "Fat man, I didn't say that, even if the Blazers are in better shape, it's hard to win, man, this is Pisacek! Look at this blue ocean, listen to this crazy cheering, It is very difficult for them to win, not only have to face away pressure, but also have strong Thunder players waiting for them, and you have to know, the Blazers have never advanced to the Western Conference Finals in recent years!"

O'Neill: "Now the outside world is unanimously optimistic about the promotion of the Thunder. Is it true that no one thinks that Portland can advance?"

Barkley: "Yes, that's who they are."

O'Neill: "This is too cruel, but the combat power shown by the Thunder is indeed much higher than that of the Trail Blazers, and Lillard's record is one-sided when he meets Russell. It is reasonable for everyone to make this prediction. , but basketball is full of possibilities, let's wait for the game to start."

The referee signaled the players to take their positions, and the main players of both sides stepped onto the battlefield tonight.

Trail Blazers starters: center Kanter, power forward Aminu, small forward Harkless, shooting guard CJ McCollum, point guard Lillard.

Thunder starters: center Adams, power forward Grant, small forward Paul George, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Westbrook.

The referee threw the ball into the air, Adams jumped up too early and missed the rising basketball, Kanter picked the ball up, and the Blazers took the lead.
