Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 19 Teammates Who Can't Turn Passes Into Assists Are Scraps
There were quite a few DVDs in the hotel, but Li Qi didn't watch them, and fell asleep after talking on the phone with Helene Cohen.

At 03:30 the next day, Li Qi and his teammates came to the home of Westminster Griffins - Beckenfield Stadium for the summer league match.

The first opponent of the Blazers was the Nuggets led by Melon Anthony. Anthony did not change history because of Li Qi, a time traveler.

The Nuggets' summer league lineup seemed much weaker than the Trail Blazers, but in their lineup, Li Qi saw a figure that surprised him. That person was Xue Yuyang, who was selected by the Mavericks and traded to the Nuggets.

The opponent has not yet signed a contract with the Nuggets. Denver decides whether to sign based on his performance in the summer league. The inside partner with Xue Yuyang is Birdman Anderson.Then Li Qi didn't know the other two guards of the Nuggets.

Xue Yuyang looked at Li Qi full of envy. This boy who is more than three years younger than him has already become the No. [-] pick in the NBA, and it is still unknown whether he can stay here, eh.

Li Qi and Anthony were chatting, and he came over, "You are Li Qi, I heard Director Zhang and the others mentioned you, congratulations on becoming the second pick."

Li Qi naturally understands what it means to reach out and not smile, "Thank you, let's work hard together."

The NBA career of this player can only be described in two words - ups and downs, Li Qi is just a player, he can't change anything.

The game started soon, and Li Qi still played the first position, Blake the second position, Kok Penny the third position, Milicic the fourth position, and Elbaron the fifth position.On the Nuggets side, there are two old black partners in the backcourt, Anthony at position [-], Birdman at position [-], and Xue Yuyang at position [-]. Seeing this formation, Li Qi looked at Xue Yuyang sympathetically.

During the jump ball, El Baron easily passed the ball to Li Qi, who took the ball to the frontcourt.

The first position of the Nuggets is a black man less than 1.8 meters tall. He knew that he was not Li Qi's opponent, so he chose to steal the ball.

The head coach of the Nuggets is a little confused. What kind of play is this? Shouldn't the point guard pass the ball to organize the offense?The Nuggets guard was a little unconvinced. He wanted to return one, but as soon as he dribbled the ball, Anthony wanted the ball. Li Qi immediately moved laterally to the opponent's passing path, giving the opponent one step away.

This kind of small guard basically doesn't shoot very well, so he relies on breakthroughs to make a living.If he could shoot deadly shots, he wouldn't be playing in the summer league. The little guard remembered the coach's order before the game and forcibly fed the ball to Anthony. Anyway, Li Qi's wingspan is not very long, so what are you afraid of?

Li Qi didn't try to stop him in front of him, but just raised his arms, and Anthony's vision of passing the ball near the waist on the right was completely blocked.

Swish, the ball went straight to the air.The two commentators at the scene were amused and laughed.

"Rich's height in the first position actually became the key to hinder the opponent's pass. He was like a wall. The pass just now was really too reckless."

"Yeah, since there is no space, it shouldn't be passed on."

…………

The head coach of the Nuggets did not speak. He was just an assistant coach to let Anthony improve his statistics. That was the main thing, and everything else was secondary.

Li Qi's three-pointer just now made the little defender stop letting him go. He chose to defend again. Li Qi bent down and quickly patted the ball to his left hand. He took a step forward and passed the defender directly.

Birdman Anderson, the most active Nuggets man, made up from the inside. Li Qi threw the ball in the direction of the basket through him. Bang, Milicic flew up under the basket and smashed the ball hard into the basket.

"Whoa, how did you see me through that guy, I thought you'd do it yourself." The Serbian buckled, feeling relieved.

Li Qi glanced at the opponent, "When he came over just now, I guessed that Melo would not defend you, so I passed it there, but even if Melo did defend, you should be able to score with your bounce."

Milicic smiled and said nothing.In the next round of the Nuggets, Anthony finally received the ball. He hit the New Zealander with his back, and after turning around, he hit a small hook.Melon doesn't say anything else, this offensive method is really incomparable to Li Qi and James at present, he has all the offensive weapons now.But he just likes sticking to the ball too much and doesn't like defending.

Anthony scored his first point, and then showed that melon-like smile. His smile is really healing, and he is much more temperamental than Anfernee Hardaway. Unfortunately, he was born ten years later.

Blake was also unwilling to be lonely. He got rid of the opponent's guard, made a circle from the left, and ran beyond the three-point line on the right, but the guy couldn't even defend against him. Li Qi passed the ball and Blake hit an open three-pointer.

This guy lives by shooting. He really doesn't have any breakthrough ability. If his breakthrough ability was better, he wouldn't be so low in the draft.

Li Qi contributed a three-pointer and two assists at the beginning, and Anthony naturally carried out the singles to the end. This time, he carried Kirk Penny to the inside, hung on the opponent's body, completed a split dunk, and caused the latter's foul at the same time.

This New Zealander is messing around. He was dunked by Anthony. Are those physical test data made up?No wonder I lost the election.The defense is not good, and the offense is rigid. Except for waiting for the ball to come over, he doesn’t know how to move. Li Qi has never been used to this kind of brain-dead teammate, because teammates who wait for the ball in place have the lowest assist rate. This is Li Qi’s experience in high school in New York for three years.Teammates who can't turn passes into assists are useless. This is what Li Qi believes in.

Kirk Penney, a New Zealander, had a mentality that exploded. He was the only one who didn’t make any contribution out of five players in the starting lineup. El Baron had dunks and blocked shots in the paint. Except for fouls, his other stats were all 0. He was autistic like a superstar, and he didn’t like to talk to anyone.

In the final analysis, the NBA is also a matter of sophistication. Otherwise, why some players with poor statistics can play in the NBA for many years, and some players with good statistics can't continue to play in the NBA. Emotional intelligence is indispensable no matter what social system they are in.

Mark D'Antoni saw that Coke Penny didn't play much, and immediately replaced him with a jumper, and the game continued.
