Start without the ball

Chapter 312 After G1
Scotiabank Arena big screen 103 to 87 impressively high score, the Raptors trailed by 16 points, the fans began to yell.

"Is Van Vleet holding a small video of Nas? His performance should be on the bench."

"Three minors, third minors, and third minors again! Did Nurse win the Milwaukee Bucks and really use the three minors as his trump card? You must know that it is a ghost mamba! The man with the strongest connection is really dying .”

"Nurse is ruining our game, Kawhi is trying to close the gap in the hands of the Thunder Trident, we only lost 5 points before VanVleet came on the court, and he sent 5 points in 11 minutes , dame it."

Nas was in a hurry. He didn't expect Li Haoyu to appear at the beginning of the fourth quarter. According to his pre-match situation, Li Haoyu always appeared at the end of the third quarter and recovered off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Physically preparing for the final battle, and the stubborn Donovan actually made such an adjustment, which caught him off guard.

Now 16 points behind, the Raptors coach hurriedly requested a timeout to try to adjust.

Li Haoyu went to the bench with his head held high, accepting the cheers from his teammates.

Westbrook bumped into Li Haoyu excitedly and said: "Dude, you did fking good job!"

George stepped forward to give a high-five gesture, and said with a smile:

"Kawhi should be mad off the court! Not long after he left the court, Van Fleet lost 16 points."

Grant couldn't help stretching out his sinful right hand to touch Li Haoyu's hair, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to be the most disgusted, so he stretched out his hand to Ferguson's dreadlocks.

"What are you doing!" Tie Sen hurriedly refused.

Grant relentlessly grabbed Ferguson and passed his addiction.

Donovan waited until the players sat down after celebrating and began to arrange:
"We have the initiative now, and then we have to go all out. We must not give them a chance to counterattack. It doesn't matter if we can't defend Kawhi. As long as we can respond on the offensive end, they will not be able to chase the score.

How is your physical condition, Li? "

Li Haoyu wiped off his sweat with a towel: "I'm okay, I had enough rest before."

Donovan: "Well, you are holding on for 2 minutes, killing the momentum of the Raptors' counterattack."

After the timeout, the main players of both sides returned to the field, the Raptors attacked, and Lowry handed the ball to Leonard at 45 degrees on the right.

Leonard faced George's defense, dribbled the ball with his right hand and took a step back, relying on his strong waist to stabilize his figure, and made a three-pointer.

bang-shua~
The basketball hit the back and fell into the frame. Leonard's neat three-pointer blew the horn of the Raptors' counterattack, 103 to 90.

Seeing the hope of chasing points, the home fans began to shout for the home team.

Westbrook knew that he must extinguish the momentum of the Raptors' counterattack, dribbled across the center line, made a gesture, and then handed the ball to Li Haoyu.

Youlin Mamba is at the top of the arc, on the side of the ball, George and Adams stepped forward to pick and roll for him.

Waiting for his teammates to lock up Danny Green, Li Haoyu rushed to the left side covered by George.

As his teammates were blocked, Leonard switched to Li Haoyu, and the Thunder guard did not slow down in the face of the former Finals MVP.

With a sly smile on his mouth, he dribbled the ball with his left hand and grabbed Leonard's arm with his right hand.

The Raptors striker reacted in time and retracted his arm, but this affected his balance, and his sliding speed slowed down slightly. Li Haoyu gained a half body lead.

Leonard did not give up, he was waiting for Li Haoyu to make a shot, and his explosive power was enough to block the shot from behind.

Li Haoyu also knows this very well, but, do you think you can escape Magneto with your back?

When he was about to enter the basket, he suddenly stopped and jumped, and Leonard, who was chasing behind him, bumped into him.

Dip~ The whistle sounded, and Leonard made a personal foul.

Because the brakes were too sudden, Li Haoyu didn't control his figure, and Leonard's collision completely lost his balance. Li Haoyu threw the ball to the basket, and then used his hands to cushion him. The forward taxi stopped for a while.

Westbrook and George hurried over to ask if they were injured. Li Haoyu confirmed that there was no problem after a little movement on the ground, and then stood up holding his teammates' arms.

Pierce: "Lee really worked so hard. The ball was purely for fouling. It hit the ground too hard!"

Barkley: "He's a smart player, and he does a good job of protecting the buffer when he's off balance."

Youlin Mamba stepped onto the Haoyu line, took the basketball, and the Scotiabank Arena was booed all over the sky.

Li Haoyu turned a deaf ear, looked at the basket firmly, and made a free throw.

shuh~
The first free throw was made, 104 to 90.

Li Haoyu took the basketball back from the referee again, and straightened his hair with his left hand. This was a secret signal, and the Thunder players understood it.

Second free throw.

shuh~
Steady hit, Siakam ran to the frontcourt, and Leonard did the same, leaving only Gasol who was ready to serve and Lowry who was responding in the backcourt.

The Thunder players faced the basket and began to retreat. When Gasol picked up the basketball and stepped out of the baseline, the Thunder players suddenly stuck to their defenders like crazy.

Adams came to the bottom line, waving his hands, and interfered with Gasol's free throw. Li Haoyu stepped forward to close to Lowry, who was in charge of responding.

Gasol panicked. The Thunder's sudden pressure caught him by surprise. Li Haoyu was much taller than Lowry, and Lowry couldn't get rid of it without the ball. He looked to the frontcourt.

Leonard, Danny Green, and Siakam were posted to death one after another. The referee swung his arm forward to time the time. Seeing that the time was up, Gasol passed the ball to Danny Green, who was defended by Westbrook, hoping he The height can win in the fight.

Westbrook and Danny Green rushed to the landing point at the same time, and the Thunder Turtles were like the wind at their feet, taking the lead, leaping high to complete the steal, and the Thunder got the ball!
After getting the ball, Westbrook didn't stop and accelerated to the frontcourt. After two steps, Danny Green was left behind.

Lowry hurried forward to try to stop Westbrook, who was accelerating, and Guigui passed the ball to the left corner. Li Haoyu withdrew from outside the three-point line and ambush in the corner when Gasol sent the ball.

After receiving the ball, there was no one in front of him. After taking a deep breath, Li Haoyu stood up, raised the ball and moved his wrist.

shuh~
The basketball fell into the net through a beautiful arc!

108 to 90, after the timeout, although Leonard blew the horn of offense with a strong three-pointer, Li Haoyu scored 5 points in a row to extinguish the momentum of the Raptors' counterattack.

O'Neal: "The Thunder's sudden defense caught the Raptors by surprise, and they made sufficient preparations for the finals!"

Barkley: "I still remember Li Haoyu's tactics after making free throws. Every time he signaled everyone to retreat to the backcourt, but today the Thunder changed their tactics silently. The Raptors players didn't realize the danger at all!"

Off the court, Nurse held his head in his hands in frustration. Before the game, he emphasized that as long as Li Haoyu made a free throw, the rest of the Thunder must be careful when they retreat to the backcourt. This time, before the Thunder pressed the audience, everyone made free throws as usual. Similarly, there was no sign, and the signs of counterattack that had just emerged were extinguished just like that.

Sitting at the end of the bench, Malcolm saw Nurse pacing back and forth, and realized that an opportunity had come. He had been suffering from the insecurity of his contract, and this might be an opportunity.

Walking up to Nass, he whispered:
"Head, I can solve that annoying Huaguo defender once and for all! For the sake of the team, I am willing to do this."

Nas asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Malcolm: "You know, there are bound to be some injuries, don't you?"

Nas said righteously: "We are in a competition, and we must win in an open and aboveboard manner!"

Malcolm: "I'll do it very covertly, like it was an accident."

Nass roared:
"Go back to your place and don't bother me!"

Malcolm had no choice but to return to the bench and looked at Li Haoyu with sinister eyes.

In the next round, the Raptors scored a goal, but Westbrook responded in time, and the point difference remained at 17 points.

Seeing that the momentum of the Raptors chasing points was contained, Donovan replaced Li Haoyu, and the Thunder led the offense by Westbrook.

In the ensuing game, although the Raptors were able to keep scoring, the Thunder were able to respond and time wasted. In the end, the Raptors were unable to recover. With 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Raptors were still behind by 17 points , Nass replaced the main force.

In the end, the Thunder won Game 119 of the Finals 103-[-].

此役，李浩宇拿到35分4篮板6助攻，威少拿下24分6篮板12次助攻，乔治砍下28分。

In the Raptors, Leonard scored a game-high 38 points but was unable to prevent the Oklahoma City team from winning the first game.

After the game, Nas came to the press conference.

After he sat down, the media eagerly raised their hands to ask questions.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Canadian Sports Daily. May I ask why this game was lost by a big score. You must know that the Raptors double-killed the Thunder in the regular season."

Nurse: "Lee is really tricky. You can see that he is constantly causing trouble. Our main lineup is basically balanced. But at the beginning of the second half, he and Grant teamed up to give the team a 5-point lead. Donovan then replaced him.

We should have used his off-field time to catch up to the score or even overtake it, but Russell stood up and bit the score. He won enough rest time for Li Haoyu.

At the end of the third quarter, Lee widened the point difference to 10 points, and he was still on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter to widen the point difference to 15 points.

It can be said that we almost lost this game in the hands of Li. After we go back, we will analyze the problem, and we will definitely impose more restrictions in the next game. "

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Maple Leaf Sports. May I ask Mr. Nass, why do you insist on using three small lineups? It is your formation in the rotation stage that allows Li to score so easily."

Nurse: "My lineup has overturned the mighty Milwaukee Bucks. Please don't question my arrangement."
