Chapter 34 The Flash of the Turks
Li Qi's lineup is really bad. In fact, John Nash shouldn't have traded Wells to the Grizzlies for Wesli Person. The latter is a mediocre glass man, and the former was the one who played the most brilliantly in the first round of the playoffs last season, especially the 45 points in the second game. When the Blazers fell behind [-]-[-], he was the one who led the team to counterattack. Although he was still eliminated, Wells' performance was undoubtedly qualified.

But in order to clear some unnecessary obstacles for Li Qi, John Nash chose to send him to the Grizzlies, in exchange for Wesley Person with a better temper, the first-round pick protected by the top three in 04 and some cash.

Compared with Wells, Wesley Person is better than the opponent in terms of shooting, and he has a brother named Chuck Person, a former professional player.

Apart from these two points, Li Qi really couldn't see that the glass man was better than Stick Wells.

Li Qi patted the ball and reached the front court. He was not familiar with Lynch Hunter, but Lynch Hunter was quite familiar with him, especially after watching a bullfight next to him.This average-sized point guard chose the most direct way to challenge Li Qi-steals, which is the most common method for a small point guard to face someone taller than the opponent.

Facing this steal, Li Qi pulled the ball back. At the same time, his right hand dexterously passed the ball behind his left hand. He slapped the ground and took a step forward with his left foot. With a bang, he knocked Lynch Hunter away and came directly to the left side of the elbow area. The madman let go of Derek Anderson and chose to help defend Li Qi.

Li Qi didn't pass the ball to Derek Anderson against the madman, but directly chose to shoot on the spot.

Bang Madman smashed his hand on Li Qi's again, but the ball went in.

Derek Anderson is a little unhappy. This second place is very unique. He has vacant seats, but he still hasn't passed the ball.

Li Qi really felt that there was something wrong with John Nash's vision. He sent away Wells who was capable, but left a mediocre guy like Derek Anderson. The opponent had ACL surgery before entering the NBA.

So even if the ball is passed to him in an open position, the opponent will not be able to score if he goes inside with the ball. Li Qi attaches great importance to statistics, because he knows that in the future, everything will be about statistics.

Several assistant coaches on the sidelines didn't understand Li Qi's offensive choice. D'Antoni understood it but didn't say anything. As a player, he understood Li Qi's approach, and he personally didn't like Derek Anderson very much.Given his physical condition, it is undoubtedly difficult to get free throws.

Lynch Hunter didn't get another chance to shoot and passed the ball to his teammate to get an assist. Li Qi began to bully the opponent with his weight. His weight was not very big, but it was enough to suppress the former. Like a tank, he pushed the former to the inside. points.

Derek Anderson glanced at Li Qi like a resentful woman. This No. [-] pick is a bully. They all pass the ball to Okur, the Turk, and don't pass the ball to himself. Why?

If Li Qi could understand his inner monologue, he would definitely answer, Okur averaged [-] three-pointers per game in his career and made [-] hits. In your career, you took [-] three-pointers and only made [-] hits. Why should I pass the ball to you? I'm not your father.

Okur got his first point, and he was still very happy. Just now he went to the outside to run, which was a completely natural reaction, because he knew that he and Milicic had no advantage at all. Although his weight was exactly the same as that of the No. [-] pick, but for some reason, Okur felt that he was no opponent on the inside.

Lynch Hunter started to increase his speed, and Li Qi lowered his center of gravity. If he didn't lower his center of gravity, he would repeat the tragedy of the old hooligan defending Iverson. Although Lynch Hunter was not as short as Iverson, his speed was quite fast.

Crack. Crack. Crack, Lynch Hunt smashes the ball to the ground.He dribbled the ball to his right hand and chose to break through from this side. The former did not move, and still maintained a close posture.

At the same time, his hand was already on the ball. Lynch Hunter quickly pulled the ball back and passed it to the madman on one side. The madman took the ball and easily passed Derek Anderson. When he got to the inside, he dunked and scored.

Li Qi's lineup is nothing but defensive. Of the five players on the court, he is the only one with defensive ability. For the remaining four, Elbaron is still in the stage of playing with instinct. He can't play much against the technical flow of Randolph and Milicic.As for Okur?The word defense does not exist in the Turkish dictionary at all.

Li Qi continued to put pressure on Lynch Hunter. He asked for a cover for Okur. The latter came near the right elbow. Milicic did not come over, but Madman and Lynch Hunter double-teamed Li Qi.

Dale Ellis, the insider, played the third position today. His speed obviously couldn't come to defend Okur, so he could only watch the Turk score another three-pointer.

"Wow, Rich and Mehmet actually played such a wonderful cooperation, it should be the first time for them to work together."

D'Antoni asked a few assistants, and his brother Mark D'Antoni answered him, "Yes, this is the first time the two of them have cooperated. The previous rich went to New York after playing the summer split, and he just came back today."

As for why Li Qi went to New York, D'Antoni didn't ask. His management of players is not militarized, but very humane.

"Mark, you recorded this pick-and-roll. It may become the key to our success in the new season. Both Mehmet and Darko can play this tactic with Rich, and Dell and Zach are very sure about the offense in the interior. I am really looking forward to the arrival of the new season."

D'Antoni was very emotional. If he rejected the Blazers' invitation and continued to be an assistant to Frank Johnson, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life. This Blazers might really be able to play the basketball he imagined.
