Chapter 414

During the offseason, Popovich actually heard the news that Li Lei and Kobe practiced together, and Li Lei learned the back frame technique.

But he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Technology is not something that can be learned through practice.

O'Neal's free throws may never happen in a lifetime.

The COSCO shots of later generations of Alphabet Songs have been practicing every offseason, but they still can't practice.

Howard followed Olajuwon to learn fantasy footsteps, but he was still a rough guy at the end of his career.

……

In this regard, the most powerful people should be McGrady and Kobe, who learned how to shoot in one summer.

But there are only these two people in NBA history.

Others who don't hone in on a new technique for several seasons.

"He was bluffing."

Popovich thought of it mentally, which made him feel at ease a lot, and slowly sat back on the bench.

But halfway through the sitting, Popovich felt a little embarrassed again, so he shouted to the court: "Bruce, don't be fooled, he won't play by himself, he must choose to split the ball."

Bowen nodded and focused his defense on interfering with Li Lei's pass.

But right now.

Li Lei suddenly lowered his center of gravity, supported Bo Wen with his back, and punched hard.

Snapped!
The sound of muscles colliding resounded throughout the audience.

Bowen, who was concentrating on defending the pass, was a little caught off guard, and was directly pushed off his back, embarrassed.

Bowen tried his best to make himself stand still.

But before he could stand still, Li Lei's second impact had already come.

Bowen couldn't take it anymore, and fell back directly.

Boom!

Bowen hit the floor hard.

But Li Lei seized the opportunity, turned around directly, soared into the air, and clasped his hands heavily.

boom!
2: 0.

In order to protect Bowen, and also to prevent himself from stepping on something when he landed, Li Lei hung on the hoop and roared to the sky: "Roar!"

In an instant, the entire FedEx center exploded.

"Hoohoho!"

All the Memphis fans at the scene jumped up to cheer for Li Lei.

They raised their hands high, worshiped Li Lei, and shouted in unison: "MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

……

Li Lei's first goal in the fifth year of his career was groundbreaking.

Popovich was embarrassed. If it weren't for his wrong reminder, Bowen wouldn't have fallen so badly.

But Popovich couldn't bend down to apologize to Bowen. He could only pretend to be cold, but he thought in shock: "Just looking at Stone's actions just now, it seems that he has really learned the back-up technique."

Of course, with only one round, Popovich can't be sure.

When Bowen walked past the bench, Popovich asked, "Bruce, are you okay?"

Bowen nodded: "Sir, don't worry, I will guard him in the next round."

After saying this, Bowen himself began to doubt himself.

In the Western Conference finals last season, Li Lei averaged 35 points per game against Bowen, and created an NBA playoffs highest score of 66 points.

If this can be counted...

There is nothing in this world that cannot be prevented.

Bowen immediately changed his words: "If that guy dares to continue to come to the low position..."

It's just that it sounded like he didn't have any confidence at all.

The Spurs attack.

Finley's long two-pointer went out of the frame.

Three overtimes yesterday and back-to-backs tonight, the Spurs players are in a very average state.

Gasol received the rebound and the Grizzlies attacked.

In the frontcourt, Gasol continued to hold the ball at the free throw line, and Milicic took Duncan out.

Li Lei went straight to the low post, stuck Bowen with his body, and easily caught the ball.

"You don't want to score again!"

Bowen said imposingly behind Li Lei.

Li Lei raised the basketball high and pressed his butt against Bowen. He didn't want to laugh when he heard this, but he couldn't help it.

I'm professionally trained and generally don't laugh unless I can't help it.

"why are you laughing?"

Hearing Li Lei's laughter, Bo Wen was furious.

Li Lei laughed even harder.

The other party didn't want to answer you, and threw a Szczerbiak, a Francis, a Maddie, and three Carters at you...

After finally holding back his laughter, Li Lei didn't move his pivot foot, and swept the other foot to feel Bo Wen's position.

This is the technique that Jordan taught Kobe back then, and Li Lei learned it from Kobe.

After knowing what was in his mind, Li Lei directly exerted his strength.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Bowen defended with all his strength and almost threw himself on Li Lei, but he couldn't help but retreat.

Every time his muscles collided, Bowen would feel an iron wall hit him, making him complain endlessly.

But Bowen could only live with it.

Bear with it and get used to it.

However, at the edge of the paint area, Bo Wen felt that Li Lei's strength had surged again.

Bowen was so pushed that he nearly overturned.

Li Lei seized the opportunity and turned over and made a jump shot.

Swish!
and also.

4: 0.

Swish!
Popovich rose from the bench again, shocked.

He was absolutely sure that this man had mastered the back-up technique proficiently.

"What a genius!"

To learn a skill in one summer and be able to use it proficiently in regular competitions, isn't that a genius?
On the opposite bench, Zhu Fangyu showed a serious face: "Hmph! During the Asian Cup, the boss has already mastered the back-up technique."

Anyone who has watched the Asian Cup will know this.

However, Popovich, including the entire coaching staff and players of the Spurs, is obviously not included.

This is also normal.

American basketball dominates the world. Even if they lose consecutive Olympic and World Championships, they still feel that the sky is the boss, the earth is the second, and the U.S. team is the third.

Not to mention the Asian Cup, even the European Cup, Americans don't like it, how can they pay attention?

And now, Americans are paying the price for their arrogance.

The Spurs attack.

Affected by physical strength, the attack still returned in vain.

The Grizzlies grabbed the ball, switched offense and defense, and Li Lei continued to drop low.

"Teaming! Watch out for double-teaming! Don't give him a chance!"

Popovich stood up for the third time in the game and shouted a reminder to the team.

On the other hand, Carlisle, who is facing him, has still folded his arms and watched the game calmly, feeling extremely comfortable.

Li Lei continued to take the ball in the low position, sat down and dug in.

Duncan didn't help defend immediately, but waited for Li Lei and Bo Wen to compete before rushing forward, trying to catch Li Lei by surprise.

Old Deng is smart.

However, this is an underestimation of Li Lei. Li Lei received true passes from Kobe, Yao Ming, and Gasol. Breaking double teams is also a basic course. He immediately held up the basketball and passed the ball outside when Duncan was about to pounce.

Milicic received the ball and fired directly.

Finley lunges to help.

But the height difference of 10cm is like a natural moat, which is beyond reach.

Milicic easily hit a three-pointer.

Swish!
7: 0.

The FedEx Center exploded in an instant.

Memphis fans continue to revel.

Their king is stronger and invincible!
