I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 77
On the Heat's bench, a group of thorns were laughing and joking with Butler.

"Caron, after all, you played in the league for a year, but you were completely overwhelmed by a rookie who just entered the league. You have lost all the face of us old players."

Originally, Butler was angry when he was suppressed by Li Xuan, but when he was stimulated by his teammates, he burst out and roared: "How can you single out and lose to the rookie in the team? The face of an old player."

Eddie Jones couldn't bear it anymore. This was the shame of his life. It would be embarrassing for him to find out the old account and say it in front of everyone.

Immediately, Eddie Jones rushed to Butler to educate him and let him keep his mouth shut.

In an instant, the Heat's bench was in chaos, and the two people who had the conflict were immediately pulled back by their teammates without causing any greater impact.

"Enough! Do you still see me as the head coach who wants to fight after the game is over and solve it privately? Now it's live broadcast across the United States. Do you really want to be on the headlines tomorrow?" Stan Van Gundy roared.

"The two of you stay on the bench and calm down. Love and John will take their place." Stan Van Gundy began to arrange offensive and defensive tactics after arranging the players.

"John, you have only one task, which is to prevent the opponent's No. 10 player from catching and shooting. You are the best defender in the team. I believe you can complete it."

"Leave it to me! I'll make that kid lose points." John Wallace said confidently.

Stan Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to lay out offensive and defensive tactics.

On the other side, the Mavericks bench.

Nash and Li Xuan were standing at the front of the bench eating melons.

"They seem to be arguing about something, and they can't hear what they are saying because they are too far away."

"How about we take a closer look?"

"Let's forget it, shit! It seems to be fighting."

"I didn't expect to see such a hot scene in the first official game, why don't we join in the fun."

"It still doesn't work, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death."

At this moment, Old Nelson shouted: "Why are you two joining in the fun over there? Why don't you roll over to listen to the tactics and want to make me angry?"

"Coach, we'll be right there."

Li Xuan and Nash said in unison, and then returned to the bench, following the old Nelson's arrangement.

At the end of the timeout, the referee blew his whistle to signal players from both sides to play.

The lineup of the Mavericks is: Delk, Lagabel, Li Xuan, Jamison, Sean Bradley.

The Heat's lineup is: Alston, Wade, John Wallace, Odom, Haslem.

The Heat had the ball, and Alston dribbled the ball across half court and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.

Since only Alston in the Heat's rotation has the ability to make three-pointers, the Mavericks' defense has shrunk very tightly, leaving little room for the Heat to break through.

The Heat's two breakthrough players, Wade and Alston, suddenly encountered difficulties. The inside line was already very crowded, but now it is even more difficult, and they can only be forced to shoot from the outside.

With the help of Haslem's cover, Alston broke into the penalty area, attracted the defense, and then distributed the ball to Wade, who cut in from the right.

Wade received the pass, did not enter the crowded inside, and directly stopped and made a jumper to shoot.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the net, steady hit!
14: 20!

It didn't take long for the Mavericks to fight back.

Delk dribbled the ball to the top of the arc to organize the offense, observed the position of his teammates, and waited for the opportunity to appear.

Li Xuan ran quickly without the ball, nimbly shuttled through the crowded inside "jungle", and suddenly broke out at the fastest speed and rushed outside the right three-point line.

Wallace, who followed closely behind, chased and defended, but was firmly blocked by Jamison, who had made an off-ball screen in advance, and completely lost Li Xuan's figure. He could only pray that his teammates could make up the defense in time.

As soon as Li Xuan came beyond the three-point line, Delk, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, immediately passed the ball over. After so long, there is still some tacit understanding.

After receiving the ball, Li Xuan didn't have time to make adjustments, because he saw Odom quickly make up the defense, pulled up directly, and shot a three-pointer.

Seeing this, Odom, who came to supplement the defense, rushed to interfere, but failed to block the basketball. He couldn't help being shocked and said: "This rookie has something, not only has a high shot point, but also a fast shot speed. What's wrong with this shit? Defend!"

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

14: 23!

The Mavericks' bench was already in full bloom at this time, applauding and applauding one after another.

"Beautiful! Xiao Li hit a three-pointer with a textbook-style pull-up jumper, which has the charm of McGrady." Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Li Xuan's shooting rate is very high for this kind of open three-pointer. He is good at grasping any opportunity." Yu Jia also made his own comments.

In the next round, Alston missed a mid-range jumper, and the basketball bounced off the hoop. Li Xuan snatched it and passed it to Delk to dribble forward.

Li Xuan ran quickly and came to a 45° angle outside the three-point line on the right, ready to catch the ball.

Delk, who was advancing with the dribble, took a look and immediately passed the ball.

As soon as Li Xuan received the basketball, Wallace caught up and failed to get the best shot.

"Give up! I won't give you another chance to shoot!"

Wallace, who was chasing and defending, quickly stepped forward to defend.

As we all know, when a player shoots a basketball, he needs to raise his arm.

Under the defense, Li Xuan had no good chance to make a move at all.

Of course, this kind of post defense also has disadvantages, that is, if the post defense is too tight, it is easy to be passed by the opponent in one step.

Before the game, Wallace had read Li Xuan's player profile and knew that his offensive ability with the ball was very poor, so he didn't have to worry about being broken.

Seeing Wallace defending himself in such a way, Li Xuan sneered in his heart, and couldn't help complaining silently: "No matter how poor my ball handling ability is, I still have a little bit of basic breakthrough skills, not to mention that I also had special training in the summer. The technology has improved a bit.”

No more wasting time, after Li Xuan released the ball, he suddenly turned around and passed Wallace, and dribbled directly towards the basket.

Wallace, who was passed by, looked confused. Didn't he say that he has no offensive ability with the ball?The turning around and breakthrough just now was really fast, I was passed by without even realizing it, the player report is really cheating!

After passing Wallace, Li Xuan did not rush into the crowded inside line, but came to a position three or four steps away from the edge of the penalty area on the right, directly rose from the ground, and hit a mid-range jumper.

14: 25!

"Hahaha, good shot! It seems that the Heat's information is outdated, and now Xiao Li still has some offensive ability with the ball." Director Zhang laughed, and he was very happy to see Li Xuan's gradual progress.

In the next few rounds, both sides scored and scored, and the point difference was controlled at about 7 points.

With Wade failed to score the last attack, the first quarter of the game ended.

The players on the field quickly returned to the bench to rest and prepare for the next game.
