Chapter 342 Adjustment of Raptors

During the break, Li Haoyu walked to the bench, Westbrook raised his right hand and clapped forward, and Grant quickly pulled Westbrook's hand down:
"What if I touched your hand and Lee started to strike iron? You must know that you made 3 of 0 three-pointers before, which made a huge contribution to Oklahoma's steel production."

After thinking about it for a while, Westbrook thumped Li Haoyu's chest with his right hand. After all, metaphysics, no one can say for sure, if it really affects Li Haoyu, it would be bad.

Donovan came and patted Li Haoyu on the shoulder: "I knew you could do it! Take the time to rest."

On the other side of the Raptors bench, Nurse yelled at the bench lineup: "Look at the score! 18 to 35, do you know what this means? That ghost Mamba took over your heads in 4 minutes. 20 points! The defense just shames me!"

Powell lowered his head and said: "Coach, he is really difficult to guard. I really tried my best."

Nas also knew in his heart that it was unrealistic to rely on him to defend Li Haoyu. You must know that the main lineup in the last game relied on tactics to limit this tricky ghost mamba, but Li Haoyu's fiery performance in the first quarter had a great impact on him. Be sure to cheer up your players.

Siakam raised his head and said: "Coach, let me play at the beginning of the second quarter, and bite the score on the offensive end!"

Nas: "Is your physical fitness okay?"

"Coach, this game means a lot to us, I don't want to watch the damn ghost Mamba keep scoring off the court, and give Kawhi more time to rest."

Lowry also volunteered: "Coach, my condition is much better."

Nurse: "Don't be brave, in order to keep up with Russell's crazy advance speed, your physical exertion is very serious."

Lowry looked at Nas with firm eyes: "Coach, I may not be able to contribute like Kawhi or Siakam on the offensive end, but I can fight! For many years, the outside world has judged me as a postseason player. Sai Ruandan, I must prove myself!"

Nurse nodded slightly: "You replace Powell later, plus Van Vleet and Lin, and Siakam inside, this offensive firepower is very powerful, what I need is you to bite the score!
Li's hands are too hot today, so don't give him a chance to make a long three-point shot. Everyone rushes forward, and he breaks through and then flanks. As the kings of the North, you will definitely be able to do it! "

Dip~ The referee signaled the players of both sides to return to the court, and the second quarter began.

Lowry and Siakam walked to the technical table and made a substitution application.

Barkley: "Nurse is really paranoid in the three small lineups. I doubt that it is impossible for him to use a small forward in the rotation lineup in his dictionary."

Pierce: "Lee's offensive firepower is too strong. No one in the Raptors can limit the fiery ghost Mamba. It is understandable to send a strong and thin lineup."

The Raptors attacked, Lowry took the basketball from Ibaka, and after reaching the top of the arc, everyone cleared the space on the left.

Siakam took Noelle to the bottom corner, received the ball and sensed the defense with his back, and Noelle went up with all his strength.

Siakam turned to the baseline with his right foot as the axis, raised the ball with his legs bent, shook Noelle, and took the opportunity to rush to the inside. On the other side, Morris let go of Ibaka, shrinking the basket to defend the Raptors' inside breakthrough.

Siakam passed the ball to the bottom corner on the right, where Ibaka was in ambush, and Li Haoyu rushed to the bottom corner at 45 degrees on the right to try to interfere.

Ibaka passed the ball to Van Vleet at a 45-degree angle. He was suppressed by Li Haoyu in the first quarter.

shuh~
Hollow into the net, 21 to 35, after Siakam played, the Raptors recovered their offensive rhythm in the second quarter.

The Thunder attacked, and Li Haoyu's defender was replaced by Jeremy Lin, who was taller among the three guards. However, his height was still 6 cm behind the Ghost Mamba, so of course we had to make good use of our advantages.

When Li Haoyu ran to the front court, he directed his teammates to land on the right side of the court, freeing up space on the left side for singles with the ball.

Reaching the low position on the left, Jeremy Lin tried his best to prevent Li Haoyu from getting a deeper position. This time the opportunity to play was hard-won. He must show his best performance, but the ghost mamba is too flexible, constantly adjusting the angle, eating away at the Space, coupled with strength, has certain advantages, receiving the basketball in one step outside the three-second zone.

After getting the ball, Li Haoyu immediately dribbled the ball behind him, 45 degrees Lowry kept in mind Nass instructions, and decisively let go of Schroeder to the low position.

If Schroeder is passed back at this time, Lowry can return to the defense in time, and Li Haoyu dribbles back to the bottom corner without any haste. In the hands of Schroeder, who was vacant on the wing.

Lowry quickly turned around, and Jeremy Lin also looked to the flank, Li Haoyu seized the opportunity, passed through the gap between the two, and accelerated to cut to the basket.

Schroeder received the ball, saw that his teammates had started, and smashed the ball to Li Haoyu's chest with both hands. This is the fastest way to pass the ball.

Li Haoyu dribbled the ball to the inside, and Siakam on the other side rushed at full speed. In the first quarter, watching Li Haoyu score again and again off the court, and he could only stand by, made him angry. Now he finally has a chance to defeat the ghost Mamba spirit.

Stepping into the three-second zone, Li Haoyu made a two-step emergency stop, hooked the basketball with his right hand and raised it upwards, Siakam, who was eager to defend, jumped up with all his strength, but when he reached the air, he realized that Li Haoyu hadn't made a move, and could only watch him helplessly. Easily wiped the board and scored 2 points, 21 to 37.

In the next 2 minutes, the Raptors failed to prevent Li Haoyu from scoring, but on the offensive end, with the involvement of Siakam on the inside and the firepower of the three guards on the outside, the Raptors were able to bite the score, and the point difference remained unchanged. About 15 minutes.

At 9 minutes and 40 seconds of the second quarter, the two sides battled 28 to 43, the Thunder led by 15 points, and the main players of both sides returned to the field.

Seeing the main force of the Raptors gearing up, Pierce expressed his thoughts: "In the first quarter, a large part of the reason why the main force of the Thunder was able to draw with the Raptors was that the visiting team didn't feel good. As for the Thunder can safely and boldly shrink the inside line, even Kawhi can hardly score under the attack.

After inter-section adjustments, if they can regain their touch, the Thunder's main force will be under tremendous pressure. "

O'Neill: "That's right, the Thunder's lineup lacks outside restraint. The Raptors were out of focus for a while, but the Thunder's iron is quite stable. Watching Russell make 3 three-pointers in the first quarter, I was thinking, what if If there is a chance, I will definitely ask him to compete, maybe I can beat him."

Barkley: "Don't dream, I can guarantee that in training, if Russell is calm, he can easily beat you!"
