i just can throw in

Chapter 205 Twin Stars Shine
Back from the timeout, the Hornets had the ball, and Rubio took the ball and advanced quickly, wanting to play a fast break.

As soon as he brought the ball to the frontcourt, Lillard rushed forward and blocked him tightly.

The breakthrough he was proud of didn't work at all in front of the defender.

In desperation, he had to ask his teammates to come up to pick and roll.

Brother Nongmei moves very fast and has long legs. He came behind Lillard in two or three steps and turned into a thick wall, blocking the opponent firmly.

Rubio took advantage of the situation to break through and rushed in two steps. Just as he was about to make a mid-range shot, his boss came up to defend.

No, do you want to target me like this?
While dribbling, Rubio sprayed "garbage" and tried every means to get rid of the defense, but his height, wingspan, strength and speed were not as good as Li Yu's.

Seeing that he was about to be forced to make a mistake, he quickly distributed the ball. Another rookie of the Hornets, Rivers Jr., shot the ball as soon as he caught it.

Bang Dang, hit an iron with anger.

Love was about to take the rebound, a long arm stretched over his head, and picked the basketball away like a monkey holding the moon.

After Brother Nongmei landed, he didn't make any adjustments. With a wave of his long arm, the basketball came out of his hand.

2:7, the Hornets finally opened.

Le Fu felt a little helpless when he saw this scene.

"This guy moves so fast, he goes out to finish the pick-and-roll, and he can come back to grab rebounds, and he has a good shooting touch. He is a strong opponent!"

He felt a sense of crisis. The era of the four power forwards is coming to an end. Among the power forwards in the new era, no one has yet become king.

In the West before, the only person who could compete with him for this position was Blake Griffin, and now there is one more person.

In the Timberwolves' offensive round, Lillard held the ball and made a shooting action in the frontcourt, which attracted the attention of two defenders, and he was about to be capped by Bloody.

Others' hands were about to cover his face, but he still had a cold face, and with a horizontal swing, he sent the ball into Li Yu's hands.

At this time, there is no defender in front of the latter, and there is a big open opportunity.

Li Yu raised his hand and shot, a three-point arrow that pierced the Hornets' net.

2: 10.

The No. [-] pick in the team scored a goal. Coach Monty thought that his tactics or scolding had an effect.

Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves slapped him backhand, allowing the point difference to continue to widen.

Ashuai's eyes were full of brilliance, and he found that Li Yu's shot was easy and freehand, just like shooting in daily training.

"It seems that the combination of Damian and Lee will be the biggest factor in determining the upper limit of the team."

Rubio brought the ball to the frontcourt, and after a pass, the defender in front of him was replaced by Li Yu.

He couldn't hold back, and asked, "Boss, did you just vote casually, or did you use your miraculous talent?"

"You can cast whatever you want."

"By the way, the level of trash talk you just spat is too low, I don't even bother to refute you."

Rubio opened his mouth wide, could it be said that the boss has improved again?It's only an off-season, but he has become stronger, right?
And also said I can't talk trash?
Rubio was very angry, so without hesitation, he asked Brother Nongmei to come out and set him a pick-and-roll, rushed to the inside, found that there was no chance, and passed the ball to Brother Nongmei.

Brother Nongmei held the ball to face Li Yu, a misplaced opportunity.

He has a barefoot height of 208cm, a wingspan of 227cm, and comprehensive skills inside and outside. He is known as the next Garnett.

But he was relatively thin, and he chose to play with his back, but he couldn't beat Li Yu all at once.

It shouldn't be, the leading star of the Timberwolves is not famous for his defense, so why is he so difficult?

In fact, defending Brother Nongmei, Li Yu also had a lot of pressure. After all, the height and wingspan of the two were a level apart, so he didn't dare to push hard.

He can only follow the opponent's hard chisel, fight and retreat, and when he reaches the paint area, he starts to exert his strength.

Feeling the opponent's strength, Brother Nongmei turned around and shot a mid-range jumper.

Because of his height and wingspan, he has a high shot point and is not afraid of blocking the defender in front of him.

My post-up singles still have a certain effect against the star players of the Timberwolves, and I can play like this in subsequent offensive rounds.

However, before he had time to be happy, this shot was blocked by Love from behind.

In the back-up singles round just now, Brother Nongmei was too focused and did not pass the ball at all. Love saw the opportunity and decisively completed the block.

The Timberwolves played a defensive counterattack. Lillard and Li Yu Ssangyong came out of the hole and rushed to the frontcourt like the wind. The basketball was passed continuously in the hands of the two, which dazzled Rubio who followed.

Li Yu rushed to the basket, holding the basketball with one hand.

Bang Dang, an unremarkable dunk.

2:12, unknowingly, the Hornets fell behind by [-] points.

In the next round, Rubio became impatient and took the ball to the frontcourt, one step away from the three-point line, and actually chose to shoot a three-pointer.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu felt a bit of astonishment: Xiao Ao is really impatient.

Rubio's shooting rate is not high, about 42%. For a point guard, this shooting rate is really eye-catching. However, his three-point shooting rate is even less impressive, only 30.1%.

Love was ready to grab a rebound. When he saw the basketball hit the front of the basket, he quickly "calculated" the rebound's landing point in his mind.

However, after the basketball bounced up, when it fell back down, it actually rubbed in.

Rubio let out a happy roar when he saw the basketball he shot reach the depths of the net.

At 5:12, Coach Monty touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

Regardless of whether Rubio's goal was caught or not, for the team, this goal is very critical.

Rubio yelled, "Back off!"

After scoring a three-pointer, he was full of enthusiasm and felt that he had a chance to beat his old club.

In the offensive round of the Wolves, Li Yu received a pass in the frontcourt and faced Rivers' defense.

Speaking of which, Little Rivers is a bit older, but when he sees Li Yu, he should be called a senior, because they are all from Duke University.

It's just that this year's Duke University players are completely inferior to Li Yu's team, and there are no particularly high-ranked players.

Probably because of the matchup with the senior, Rivers Jr. seemed very excited and had a very active defensive attitude.

It's just that there is too much difference in physical fitness between the two. Li Yu pulled out a jumper and made a mid-range shot over his head.

"Not only is he talented, but he also works hard. After just one year in the league, he made up for his shooting shortcomings.

No wonder K is handsome, he is often talked about. "

Little Rivers felt bitter in his heart, he was quite conceited, he didn't want to rely on his father's name to enter the NBA, and he didn't want to hear others say, look, this is the son of the famous coach Rivers, he has to rely on his talent and hard work, Play a world in the NBA.

After being selected by the Hornets, he has been training hard throughout the offseason, hoping to compete for the title of best rookie after the start of the regular season.

Even if he is on the same team as the No. [-] pick, he still has to fight for this once-in-a-lifetime award.

But he didn't expect that in the first game of the regular season, he would be taught to be a man.

After the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by 22 points at 36:14, thanks to the cooperation between Li Yu and Lillard.

In this quarter of the game, the two scored 28 points together and scored 14 points each.

Such a result made the fans of the Wolves collectively climax. The team's lineup this year is more powerful than last year, so they are looking forward to how far the team can go this season.

On the other hand, the Hornets' bench is bleak.

The No. [-] pick buried his head in the towel, he couldn't figure it out, the head star on the opposite side was only a second-year player, how could it make people feel powerless?

He has a firm heart and is never afraid to challenge the strong, but playing against Li Yu made him feel at a loss.

His physical talent is at the historical level, and he has good skills. He has the title of super genius before entering the NBA, and he has a bright future.

However, he felt that compared with Li Yu, his title of super genius was too worthless, right?

The Timberwolves have a huge lead, so the main players can be off the court and get a full rest. The only starting player on the court is Lillard, who plays with Ariza, JR and other rotation players.

The first attack of the second quarter was initiated by the Hornets. Rubio tried to shoot a three-pointer again. This time he shot more decisively. Before Lillard defended, he pushed the basketball out.

Swipe, it is actually hollow into the net.

On the sidelines, on the Wolves' bench, Li Yu and Love looked at each other, seeing strong shock in each other's eyes.

Little Ao stole someone's shooting bag.

The first goal can be attributed to his good luck, but the second goal can be scored, which is a bit abnormal.

Is this still the little Ao who is called Tiewa?
The two felt the need to re-examine their old teammate.

Hitting another [-]-pointer, Rubio tore his jersey furiously, yelled at the Wolves bench, pointed to the rim, then pointed to himself.

Crazy... Xiao Ao is going crazy.

In the Timberwolves' offensive round, Lillard steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt. Without Li Yu as a restraint, the resistance he encountered became greater.

Facing Rubio who had entered a "mad" state, Lillard was forced to make a mistake.

Rubio completed the steal, like a wild dog running free, quickly rushed to the frontcourt of the Timberwolves, rushed to the basket and dunked with both hands.

With one attack and one defense, Rubio scored five points in a row, forcing the point difference into single digits.

Coach Monty yelled, "Pay attention to defense!"

The Hornets players, because of Rubio, increased their energy on the defensive end and forced rookie Lillard to make mistakes again.

The Hornets caught the defense and counterattacked, and the role player Roger Mason soared into a three-pointer.

The Hornets played an 8-0 spurt, and the difference between the two teams was only six points.

Damian's offense is still efficient in the NBA.

But after all, he is a rookie and cannot adapt well to the NBA level.

Ah Shuai took his time and dispatched troops.

"Lee, Kevin, you two are ready to warm up and play."

In the next offensive round of the Wolves, Lillard forced the basket, causing a defensive foul and winning a free throw.

He made two free throws and was replaced. When he got off the field, he was a little frustrated.

Li Yu gave him a high-five and said peacefully, "Don't worry, this is just the first match."
