Start without the ball

Chapter 336 The Confident Smile of the Winner
Before the end of the fourth quarter, some fans could not accept the reality of a big loss and left the field early.

The final whistle sounded, and everyone in the Thunder went to the locker room in disappointment. Li Haoyu was still sitting on the bench, his eyes flushed, and he looked up at the dazzling score. 108 to 81, the finals lost by 27 points at home, what a shame.

In this campaign, Li Haoyu scored 26 points, 16 of which came from free throws. The efficiency of holding the ball was low, and he scored very few sports games. Most of the only 10 points came from speeding up the pace of the game in the second half. down.

Under Nass' targeted arrangement, Li Haoyu also tried radical choices.

Tried to give up defense many times. When the Raptors made a shot, he ran to the front field without defense, and tried to make a long-range shot with his stable three-pointer, but whenever the Raptors made a shot, he ran to the front field. Every Raptors assistant coach will loudly remind his teammates to return to defense in time.

It was obvious that he could catch the ball easily, but when all his offensive routines with the ball were figured out, it was difficult for Li Haoyu to score. He did not have unpredictable dribbling, which greatly limited his performance.

Li Haoyu got up silently and walked towards the passage, and returned to the locker room. Everyone in Thunderclap looked depressed. The defeat was not terrible. The terrible thing was that the core weakness of the team was exposed. The terrible thing was that the 27-point home defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow to morale.

Bayer walked into the locker room: "Russell, Lee, try to hurry up, I have to attend the press conference later."

At this time, Li Haoyu just wanted to find an arena and practice crazily. Unfortunately, the interview in the finals was unavoidable. Audiences all over the world were watching this game. The fans who lost by a big score needed an explanation.

Li Haoyu got up and went to the shower room, took off the compression clothing, and removed the protective gear on his body. The unrestricted muscles no longer resisted the accumulated lactic acid, and his fatigue was evident. Li Haoyu was too tired for this game!On the defensive end, due to Danny Green's self-destructive running, even if the speed is slowed down, the running distance will inevitably increase.

Meanwhile, Donovan was speaking to reporters.

"Hello, I'm Jerami, a reporter from ESPN. Most of the Thunder's offense today is singles with the ball. Did you not prepare enough tactics before the game?"

Donovan sighed and said helplessly:

"We have prepared a lot of offensive tactics, but today's situation has made our tactics invalid. Our offense is based on Lee's off-ball running as the core, but the Raptors' tactics limit Lee's off-ball ability. When our When the tactical core fails, everything becomes empty talk.”

"Hello, I'm Jenny, a reporter from Los Angeles Daily Sports. Will the 27-point defeat affect your morale?"

Donovan: "We are a tenacious team, and we will unite to overcome the difficulties at hand."

Ten minutes later, Li Haoyu and Westbrook came to the press conference. After sitting down, all the reporters on the scene raised their hands. They couldn't wait to ask questions.

Under the instructions of the staff, a blonde female reporter got the right to ask questions first, and she asked bluntly:
"Li Haoyu, hello first, I'm Sandy, a reporter from Canada's Maple Leaf Sports. The team designed a lot of tactics for you, but because of your problem, these tactics became useless.

The Thunder are stuck in inefficient isolations, a game where you can easily catch the ball, but you're evading Kawhi Leonard's defense.

Even if you get rid of it with the help of two inside screens, your offense with the ball in the face of Siakam's defense did not bring much help to the team.

Maybe you don't know it, your performance is being discussed on Twitter, and I will read a few random ones. The reporter picked up his mobile phone and read:
[Dame it, with so many opportunities to play big with the ball, other defenders can't wait for it!Even if he replaces Li Haoyu with DeRozan, who was eliminated in the first round, he can break Siakam into a sieve! 】

【Bull shit!I pull any guy from the community court and he can dribble past Siakam. 】

[In the end, Li is just a pitcher, disappointed. 】

[Dribbling is Lee's Achilles heel! 】

"There are many more, what do you think about this?"

Li Haoyu looked serious, silent for a few seconds, and said: "I am very responsible for the team's big loss today. The Raptors' tactics are very good. I didn't find the rhythm. For this, I would like to express my gratitude to the Thunderball team that supported us." The team apologizes."

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Dallas Post. May I ask if you and Paul George switched roles today and George played on the court, would the team win?"

Li Haoyu: "I can't answer the impossible."

"So do you admit that the team can get to where it is now because of two strong offensive players who spaced you out. In fact, you are just a shooter."

Li Haoyu: "Next question."

The staff motioned for the next reporter to ask a question, but the reporter from Dallas continued to ask: "Do you admit that Luka Doncic is better than you?"

Li Haoyu sneered, and said: "If we can play against each other in the playoffs, I will naturally tell you who is better, but unfortunately I don't have this opportunity."

When it comes to the playoffs, the Dallas reporters look extremely ugly.

The next person asked: "Mr. Russell, in G2, Mr. Li Haoyu and Kawhi Leonard restrained each other. In the 4V4 game, you attacked with the ball, but in that game your The performance wasn't great.

In this game, Lee was also targeted by the Raptors. Although your offensive efficiency with the ball is much better than in the second game, the efficiency is still lower than other games.

May I ask, is the Thunder relying too much on Lee? When he has no rhythm, you can no longer stand up and lead the team to win? "

Westbrook stared fiercely at the reporter who asked the question: "Next question."

After Thunder's interview was over, Nas came to the interview booth triumphantly with his head held high.

"Hello, Mr. Nass, congratulations on winning this game. Your defense was very successful in this game. Can you talk about how you made such an excellent arrangement?"

Nas said with a smile: "Team work! My assistant and I studied a lot of Thunder game videos before the finals, and came to a conclusion that Lee has become the offensive engine of this team. He can make everyone more We can use our own strength well, and if we can limit his performance, we will gain a great advantage.

Since the finals, I have been trying various methods, and this time I finally succeeded!

After the last game, I had a headache after studying the video and seeing Lee everywhere. The words of the assistant reminded me that we let him out of the comfort zone, we found his weakness, his dribbling ability as a team The offensive core of the final team is unqualified! "

"Then sir, can you talk about it. In the second half, you let Danny Green run non-stop to consume Li's physical energy. You must know that this is Li's original creation. You plagiarized his tactics for the second time."

"Whatever you say, the important thing is that we won G4, a big victory! Not only that, but we will win the entire series!" Nass looked like a winner, and he used a tactical retreat to find Li Haoyu's fatal Weaknesses, he's fantasizing about the O'Brien Cup now.
