I just play ball

Chapter 237 Go to NMD Basketball Dream

Seven p.m., Staples Center.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please applaud and welcome the Los Angeles Lakers players!" The DJ shouted loudly, and the fans cheered, and the whole arena was like a boiling water furnace that was about to reach 100 degrees Celsius. "They are championship players, FMVP winner, future President Hill player, Li Yue from China!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Li Yue followed the lights and ran out of the player tunnel. He never expected that the DJ would call himself the future President Hill player. Although the audience laughed out of goodwill, he still felt a little ashamed.

Li Yue ran into the field, high-fived his teammates standing on both sides one by one, and then stood at the end of the line to wait. Gasol, Iguodala, and Landry followed suit, and the fans cheered one after another. a wave.

"The last one, he is Kendall Marshall, the king of assists from the University of North Carolina!"

After the DJ finished speaking, the bright lights immediately focused on the exit of the player tunnel. Marshall ran out with a face full of excitement. The audience stood up and applauded to welcome him.

After the entrance ceremony, the scene entered the national anthem performance. Li Yue, as a foreigner, stood on the bench and observed around.

On the sidelines, Richard Gere, Sharon Stone and other Hollywood stars who expressed their opposition on Twitter all attended in costumes. Leonardo, Mark Wahlberg and others also came to join in the fun. The scene was full of stars .

There are several fans in the left stand holding a sign that reads: Li Kichar, shut up!
Seeing this, Li Yue sighed in his heart. Although these fans came to support him, doing so was tantamount to cheating. Keir and others just wanted to attract attention. After all, they were all past stars and wanted to take this opportunity to turn around.

Li Yue couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of Richard Gere as the leading actor in "The Story of Hachiko", because sometimes the communication barrier between people is bigger than the communication barrier between people and dogs, and the reason for this strange phenomenon is The reason is arrogance and unwillingness to communicate.

The national anthem ended in a blink of an eye, the lights were turned on, and Li Yue walked quickly to the technical stage.

As usual, he had an awkward dance with Nick Young. The two people danced through the big central screen and was seen by the audience, making them laugh out loud. Even Sharon Stone pretended to be interested and insisted on pretending to be An attitude of being right about things and not about people.

"Hi, mentor, hello!" Giannis Antetokounmpo came over and greeted Li Yue excitedly.

"Hello." Hearing that the other party called him a mentor, Li Yue quickly reached out his hand, "How are you doing recently?"

"Very well, I've been training the way you taught me every day," Giannis said. "There have been some noticeable improvements."

"Oh?" Li Yue suddenly became interested, "Are you going to start the battle today?"

"Yes!" Giannis nodded excitedly, "Unfortunately, John Hansen was absent due to injury, and I got the chance to start."

"Then you are going to be a power forward?" Li Yue looked at the Bucks' bench, "Or what other position?"

The Bucks have piled up tall men this season. There are seven players over 200 centimeters, including Ilyasova and Larry Sanders. They are relatively rare in NBA teams. Head coach Larry Drew likes to do that when he coached the Eagles before. Now It was still the same, and I was really not sure how to arrange it for a while.

"I will be the starting small forward, and I will directly confront you." Giannis said with a fluttering nose, shortness of breath, and was obviously very emotional. "Please show your [-]% strength and let me feel where the gap is."

Li Yue nodded and smiled, and patted Yanni on the shoulder, "Don't be too humble, your physical condition is very good, I will try to be bold in defense later, and I should also make bold moves on the offensive end. I suggest you make more use of your height and wingspan advantage. "

"I remember!" Giannis nodded seriously, "I'll go and get ready first."

"Go." Li Yue waved his hand, and had another high opinion of this young man.

"How did he call you a mentor?" Nick Yang, who was waiting next to him, asked, "What did you teach him?"

"Some training methods, I am very optimistic that he can achieve greater achievements in the future."

"Then you play it later, and don't smash the basketball dreams of young people."

The long whistle sounded, and the two teams started to enter the field and stood still. Li Yue analyzed the Bucks players one by one.

Point guard Luc Credno, apart from poor defense, is quite satisfactory in other aspects.

Shooting guard Brandon Knight is good at using the pick-and-roll to break through and has a high shooting percentage, but the real strength lies in his tough character. Last year, he was knocked down by Irving twice in a row in the All-Star Rookie Challenge. No confidence was lost.

Small forward Giannis doesn't need much analysis. His current skills are rough and he relies entirely on his body to play.

Power forward Ilyasova can shoot from the three-point line, and his offense with the ball is quite average. As a white man, he has poor bounce and slow lateral movement, which makes him suffer on the defensive end, but he has a high IQ and is good at pick-and-roll coordination.

The center is Larry Sanders, a defensive insider who is good at blocking shots and rebounding. His other skills are relatively rough, especially the ability to finish at the basket, which is particularly poor among the starting centers.

With just such a few people, it is reasonable to say that they can play a dozen, so that they will not have a losing streak at the beginning of the new season.

But after studying the Bucks game video many times, Li Yue found that the reason for the losing streak was that the head coach Larry Drew insisted on playing the way he did in the Eagles, hoping that the team's big men would initiate the offense, but Ilyasso Watts and Sanders cannot be compared with Horford, Josh Smith and others, which eventually caused the Bucks to perform extremely poorly on the offensive end. In the past 6 games, the scoring average per game ranked third in the league, and the average conceded points per game ranked sixth in the league. It's strange not losing streak.

The short whistle sounded, and the referee walked to the middle circle holding the ball, making gestures left and right, and then threw the ball upwards.

Snapped!Gasol got the first touch and slammed the ball toward the Lakers halfcourt.

Marshall stepped forward to pick it up and pushed forward slowly, the audience cheered and encouraged.

Li Yue received the ball from the right wing, raised his hands high and waited for a moment, confirmed Gasolka's main position, and immediately threw a pass in.

Gasol took the ball and played with his back, swaying from side to side continuously, easily gaining space, and turning back smartly to make a mid-range shot.

The basketball smashed the basket and hit the iron, Ilyasova grabbed the rebound and handed it to Ridnour, and the Bucks launched a counterattack.

Ridnor took the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to the uplifted Knight. The latter caught the ball and moved it to the top of the arc, using Ilyasova to cover and break through.

Everything went well, but Iguodala squeezed through the screen to complete the interception. Knight was forced to pull the ball back, observe for a while and then hit the left corner to pass the ball.

Giannis received the ball, facing Li Yue sideways, hesitating for a moment with his hands raised high, then suddenly sank his shoulders and exerted strength, slamming the ball and jumping.

"It's too rough, there's no protective action, too nervous." Li Yue sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand at will, and the basketball fell from Giannis' hands and rolled out.

Knight picked up the basketball, wanted to shoot but was locked by Iguodala, and quickly passed the ball to the left corner.

Giannis received the ball, and there was not much time left in the attack, so he jumped up and shot.

Li Yue, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped up, and with a snap, he faced the big hat and went to NND basketball dream.
