Start without the ball

Chapter 5 Summer League Finals (seeking collection, recommendation and investment)

Today the Spurs will compete with the Los Angeles Lakers for the Summer League title.

At this time, Harmon, who usually doesn't arrange tactics very much, also paid attention to it, and called the players for a short pre-match meeting before the game.

At 8 p.m., the Thomas and Mack Center ushered in the summer league finals.

The arena is also touching and finally full.

For the Lakers, Magician and Walton also came to watch the game now.

The game starts soon.

It was the Lakers centers Ayres and Metu who jumped the ball.

Ayers is a veteran, a second-round pick in 11 years, and has served as a rotation player in many teams.

And followed the Spurs to win the championship in 14, and then wandered in the Development League and overseas leagues, during which he played in Shanxi Fenjiu.

Metu easily jumped to get the ball, and White advanced with the ball.

In the previous summer league coaches would not take the initiative to arrange, so players are not familiar with traditional positioning.

Today is different. After Walker reached the front court, he first sank to the bottom corner and bounced to the flank with the help of cover to meet White.

Li Haoyu also sank to the bottom corner, and it was Hart who defended Li Haoyu.

Hart is about the same height as Li Haoyu, and his weight is indeed 10KG heavier, so he has an advantage in confrontation.

But this is not a problem for Li Haoyu, first he called Mei Tu to cover.

Li Haoyu clung to Meitu's arm tightly, without giving Hart any space to squeeze through, and bounced to 45 degrees.

In the narrow space in the bottom corner, Hart had no place to go around and was completely blocked.

He used a screen to switch Hart to Metu, and after the switch, it was Ayres who defended Li Haoyu.

The speed of big center Ayers is only about 50, and Li Haoyu throws off Ayers with a speed of 74 and goes to the basket.

Walker saw Li Haoyu successfully get rid of it and hoisted the ball to the basket.

Li Haoyu bent his legs, kicked off the ground, caught the ball and dunked successfully!
2:0.

The buckle also announced the official start of today's game, and the fans in Las Vegas also applauded the ball.

Li Haoyu pointed to Walker who was passing the ball. The competition is competition. If you don't express your thanks, it would be bad for this boy Lemon to play me.

The bald Mamba Caruso warned the strong-side power forward Jonathan Williams to pay attention to the defense next time, catch the ball and advance with the ball.

Hart sank after reaching the frontcourt, waiting for the Bald Mamba to reach the frontcourt.

The bald mamba came to the frontcourt, and Ailes also ran to Hart, preparing to cover and let Hart catch the ball.

Hart bounced to the flank with the help of a screen, and the bald Mamba saw Hart pop up and passed the ball.

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out and intercepted the pass!
It turned out to be Li Haoyu!

Hart didn't walk close to Ayers when he used the cover before, leaving a certain gap.

The young man is still too immature, you know Li Haoyu has been shocked hundreds of times because of this kind of mistake.

Li Haoyu successfully squeezed through the gap left.

When Hart was standing at 45 degrees waiting for the ball, Li Haoyu ran two extra steps to intercept the pass!

The rest will fall into place!
2 more points for a dunk.

4 is better than 0!

However, after scoring, Li Haoyu also lamented that he had a lot of opportunities to cut and fast break, but there were too few dunk tricks.

Fly in the ointment!
In the Lakers round, this time Hart did not sink to the bottom corner, and fell directly at 45 degrees, and the bald mamba also fed the ball.

Hart held the ball and faced Li Haoyu, first made a tentative step, Li Haoyu was unmoved, if you have the ability, you can directly charge, as if I could defend against it.

Seeing that Li Haoyu didn't move, he chose to make a three-pointer.

Although Li Haoyu couldn't cover it, this kind of dry drawing could still interfere a little bit, and with the tight opening, it was no surprise that he hit the iron.

After Li Haoyu interfered with Hart's shot, he knew that the ball should be gone, so he rushed forward.

And Hart was still observing his shot, and didn't realize that Li Haoyu was about to make it.

Metu took the rebound and found Li Haoyu with a long pass.

After getting the ball, Li Haoyu did not dunk, but a layup.

Li Haoyu thought in his heart that he had already deducted two points at the beginning, and he should use the most economical and energy-saving method after getting up.

Well, one bang and then decline, three and three, layup is right.

You'd be naive if you really thought so!

The truth is. Li Haoyu didn't catch the pass well, he couldn't move up and the jump height was not enough, so he ended up with a layup.

After all, the score came to 6-0, and only 52 seconds passed!
Now the bald Mamba was in a hurry, and after reaching the frontcourt, he did not choose to pass to the supporting small forward Mikaeluk.

He reached out and called Ayers to cover. Ayers' screen quality was good, and White was blocked.

Metu replaced the anti-bald Mamba.

Caruso saw that he was being defended by a big man, so he rushed to the end and was about to make a layup.

But he underestimated Metu's athletic ability, Metu has been following Caruso, just waiting for him to make a move.

"Crack!" Metu put on a volleyball hat and slapped the ball out of the boundary.

Lakers bottom line.

After the Lakers No. 3 Mikaeluk received the ball in the low post, the other Lakers players pulled away.

Mikaeluk is 203 cm tall, 5 cm taller than the opposing Walker.

I wanted to use my height advantage to play back, but I found that I couldn't stand Walker.

Although there is a 5 cm difference in height between the two, they weigh exactly the same.

In the end, Mikaeluk made a hasty shot and missed the basket.

Metu took off the rebound and handed it to Xiaobai.

Li Haoyu fell to the left 30 degrees after arriving in the frontcourt,
Xiaobai pushed forward with the ball, came to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Metu.

The Lakers chose a big delay, and Xiaobai passed the ball back to Metu at the top of the arc.

Facing Hart, Li Haoyu first took a step to the left, and Hart shifted his center of gravity slightly.

Li Haoyu seized the opportunity to start in reverse and ran towards Metu.

After a handoff with Meitu, Li Haoyu got the ball at 50 degrees.

Li Haoyu was not in a hurry, and waited for Hart behind him.

Hart was a step slower than Li Haoyu when he started, and with Meitu's cover, it was not easy to rush to Li Haoyu.

Seeing that Li Haoyu didn't move after receiving the ball, Hart let go of his hard pursuit.

Let go of your heart and stand firm on your feet!

Li Haoyu waited for you to stand firmly and pass the ball to Walker on the right.

After passing the ball, start to accelerate and run to the right bottom corner again.

Because Hart's feet were already firmly on his feet, he didn't expect Li Haoyu's sudden start, so it was difficult to react.

Li Haoyu ran to the right corner and received a pass from Walker, and the player went up and down!
"Swipe~" Li Haoyu scored another three points!

The score is 9 to 0!

The Spurs' bench was boiling, and they stood up one after another, raising their hands in gestures.

Harmon on the sidelines applauded repeatedly.

"Wonderful! A seemingly hesitant holding of the ball made Hart stand dead in place. The sudden rhythm made Hart unexpected, and he was finally left far behind!"

The audience on the sidelines were also excited. Although they couldn't see the essence of this movement, they knew that Li Haoyu scored 1 points in a short period of 40 minute and 9 seconds!

"Wow, this Chinese man treats Hart like a dog!"

"Yeah! 9 points in a row, and 2 dunks!"

"Looking at Hart's distressed appearance, he is either on the way to chase No. 69, or he is completely thrown away!"

"I kind of like the number 69"

Lakers coach Myles Simon requested a timeout.

Simon yelled at Hart: "You can't keep up with an undrafted pick? Stop kidding! I want you to freeze him later! Freeze understand?"

Then Simon made some arrangements, but the Spurs bench was much easier.

Metu: "Li, your running position is really cool!"

"Want to learn?" Li Haoyu asked with a smile.

Metu: "Of course I do!"

Li Haoyu: "You are too fat to learn!"

Metu: "I'm a muscle!"

Arguing to no avail, Metu could only lean back on his seat and look up at the sky.

Harmon calmed everyone down: "Well done, they will adjust their defense in a while and focus on Lee. After the space is opened, the strong side can play pick-and-roll and attack with the ball."

The pause time passed quickly.

The Lakers served in the front court, and Hart relied on the cover of the free throw line to the low post on the right and successfully received the basketball.

The receiving position was very deep, and the others hurriedly pulled away.

Hart turned over and made a mid-range shot after dribbling away from Li Haoyu.

The score was 9-2.

Li Haoyu is also very helpless, such a deep position allows Hart to receive the ball, and there is no player next to him who can help defend his teammates.

Hey, I'm still in poor health.

While sighing, Li Haoyu also came to the frontcourt, and Hart posted it just after the midfield line.

Li Haoyu slowly led Hart to the bottom corner.

Hart obeyed the coach's instructions and continued to confront Li Haoyu after reaching the bottom corner.

On the other side, Walker and the power forward also sank to the bottom corner.

Only White, Metu and their defenders were left in the middle.

Metu covered the bald Mamba Caruso and made a successful pass.

After receiving a pass from White, he made a powerful dunk with both hands and scored another 2 points!
The score was 11-2.

Back on the defense, Hart refused to give up, switched sides, and once again got into position in the low post, ready to continue back-hitting Li Haoyu.

Wow, why are you so stinky and shameless.

Isn't it just a little thinner, and looks a little more handsome than you, as for such a deadly back beater!
Hart couldn't hear the thoughts in Li Haoyu's heart, so he took a step inside.

Li Haoyu glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and then raised the corner of his mouth.

The body changed an angle to hit Hart, giving way to the bottom line.

When Hart felt that the bottom line was empty, he was overjoyed!Take advantage of the opportunity to turn around and rush from the baseline to the basket.

Let you sneak on me, I will dunk back this time, the kind that is more violent than your mediocre dunk!

Hart immediately took off and flew to the basket.

Halfway through the flight, a black shadow rushed over.

Crack~ Hart ate a hot pot.

The ball was blocked, and Li Haoyu on the side picked it up.

After passing the ball to Xiaobai, Li Haoyu and Meitu clapped hands.

"Your defense is terrible, do you want to learn how to block shots?" Metu finally counterattacked successfully!
Originally quite a simple and honest child, the good ones don't learn, just learn to be glib.

Li Haoyu: "No, you have to thank me, I'm called a helper!"

Metu:? ? ? ?

I thought I would win back a victory, but I was choked back again.

What he doesn't know is
In addition to helping the risk, there is also the help of the black mamba.

In addition to the assist, there is also the assist of pushing the Mamba.

As expected of the Zijin Legion, it has a long history and talented people from generation to generation.

While joking, Li Haoyu came to the front court again, and Li Haoyu and Hart came to the bottom corner again.

After White reached the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Walker, and then ran to Li Haoyu's side.

The Lakers are still wide open in the middle, and the Spurs power forward made a cover for Walker.

Walker took a step with the help of a screen and then made a mid-range shot.

Bang, strike out.

I haven't shot for a long time, and my hands are a little cold.

If you want to get into the rotation, you have to keep the touch all the time, and the rotation players don't have many opportunities to get hot hands.

Walker has already lost on this front.

In the next game, the two sides came and went, and Li Haoyu also made two three-pointers, but failed to hit.

With more than 1 minute left, the two sides replaced the rotation players.

The first quarter ended 24-12.
