Chapter 21 Not a Perfect Answer Sheet
Anthony didn't continue to catch the ball in the paint, and had been fighting against the jumper for almost two quarters. Melon also understood that the opponent was much stronger physically than himself, and relying on strong play would not solve the problem, so he also pulled to the outside and used shooting to solve the problem.

Anthony's adjustment was very timely. Anthony made three consecutive long shots, and Li Qi's three passes were all converted into irons. Mark D'Antoni called a timeout on the sidelines.

"Rich, stop passing the ball to your teammates, it's time for you to step up."

Mark D'Antoni didn't develop any tactics at all.It's just one word that makes Li Qi single.

After a timeout, Li Qi took the ball to the frontcourt, didn’t look at his teammates, and chose to break through the small guard forcibly. The opponent’s single defense could not defend against the former. Relying on his strength and height advantages, Li Qi came to the inside, but the Nuggets didn’t make up for it.

Anthony didn't come to help defend, Li Qi went all the way to the basket, and Birdman rushed over. The tattoos on his arms really dazzled the viewers.Li Qi switched the ball to his right hand, leaned in, lifted the ball up with the strength of his fingers, swiped it, and the ball bounced into the basket.

The birdmen in this period of time are relying entirely on recklessness in defense, not brains.Therefore, it is difficult for him to defend successfully, and in most cases he allows the opponent to score.

Anthony and Li Qi changed their scoring methods. He began to shoot continuously from the outside, while Li Qi continued to go inside to break through.

Because of the improved speed, Li Qi's breakthrough doesn't look so hip-pull anymore. He can do those breakthrough moves, but he is not as skilled as a normal point guard.

But it was enough. After the timeout, Li Qi returned a six-for-three, and one of them was 2+1. Anthony's touch on the outside did not continue. The Blazers successfully defended their advantage and maintained it until the end.

Li Qi scored 22 points, 12 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds in the game. Except for the relatively few rebounds, there was nothing wrong with Li Qi's rebounds. Milicic and El Baron were completely crazy. They grabbed 30 rebounds in the whole game. The team only had 39 rebounds.

Li Qi sent out 12 assists, and the Portland team had 29 assists. The proportion was not terrible, but it was quite good. The score of the game was 110:98, and the Blazers won by 12 points. '

Anthony scored a game-high 30 points on the opposite side. He took a total of 33 shots and only made 4 free throws. Without those 4 free throws, his scoring would not have broken through 30 points. Li Qi was much more efficient than him. He scored 22 points and only used 17 shots. He also had 10 free throws.Well, it seems that the shooting rate is not as good as Melon's, it's just that he has 6 more free throws than the opponent.

Gua Ge also complained about the number of free throws after the game, "Today's referee is too foolish. You, a guard, have 6 more free throws than me, a scorer. It is really unreasonable, but Rich, don't get too complacent. We will compete again in the regular season."

Anthony is very unconvinced about the loss. He has taken 33 shots. Can he still win? After taking 20 or so shots in the NCAA, the opponent will get down. The NCAA is really not at the same level as the NBA.

Li Qi didn't feel particularly good today. He scored 17 of 5 with 10 free throws and only scored 20 points. However, half of this shooting percentage was at the beginning of the second half.This caused the hit rate to go directly to 20.00%.Anthony took 33 shots, and his hit rate was at least 30.00%.

Fortunately, the Internet is not that developed at this stage, so everyone is not very familiar with the shooting rate, true shooting rate, and ball usage rate. Otherwise, this summer league will definitely be full of black spots.

But won the game, isn't it good? Zhang Lili and Yang Yi finished their interview with Xue Yuyang, and they came to Li Qi.

"Little Li, how much do you score for your first summer league game? The full score is 10." Yang Huahua adjusted her glasses, and asked Zhang Lili before asking a question. When interviewing Xue Yuyang, it was Zhang Lili who asked the question first.

Li Qi wiped his sweat, "Five points, I slacked off in the second half and shot too many unreasonable shots, giving the opponent a chance to breathe."

Yang Huahua wanted to ask something else, but Zhang Lili also asked a question, "How do you think Xue Yuyang on the other side is doing today?"

As an early professional basketball player in China, Zhang Lili hopes to see the new generation of players shine on the highest level of basketball.

"I think he is too nervous, and with his style of play, it is more difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA than the average insider."

Li Qi just talked vaguely, and did not completely sentence Xue Yuyang's NBA trip, because in the historical space, the opponent seemed to have no chance to participate in the summer league. This time he can participate in the summer league, which shows that history has shifted to a certain extent. As for what effect this will cause, it is unknown.

Zhang Lili agreed with Li Qi's words, because Xue Yuyang also said that he was very nervous, and the language communication was not smooth, and he could only communicate with his teammates on the court by eyes, gestures, etc., which was very awkward.

Yang Yi and Zhang Lili didn't waste Li Qi's time too much. Li Qi went back to the hotel after taking a shower.

The first summer league game got off to a good start, and the whole team was very happy. Mark D'Antoni sent the video of the game.

Mark D'Antoni is very satisfied with Li Qi's performance. Although Li Qi's shooting percentage was below 30.00% because of his wild shots, as a point guard, he had 12 assists and only 1 turnover in the game, which is very impressive.Although the summer league is not a high-level competition, these participating players are far from being comparable to high school students.

Li Qi's ability to play like this was really beyond his expectations. He and D'Antoni had already prepared for Li Qi to make more than 3 mistakes in the first game, but the opponent only made 1 mistake.

In contrast, although the champion Lang James won his first summer league game, his statistics were not as good as Li Qi. He scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, but he also had 5 turnovers.If it weren't for the Clippers being too weak, the Cavaliers might really capsize in the gutter.
