Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 59 59. Richard at Full Firepower (please subscribe, please recommend)

After dinner at Westbrook's house, they opened a bottle of red wine together, and the two had a good talk.

Nina was pregnant, and Richard did not sit for long, and left after thanking the host for his hospitality.

At this time, the city is brightly lit, joyful and peaceful, and there are crowds of people passing through the business district. Various business activities and celebratory crowds make the city full of vitality, as enthusiastic as the home fans.

Turning on the phone, it displayed the last message I sent with Luo Xi, "May the Lord bless you."

The Lord has indeed blessed me, otherwise there is no chance of being reborn, and I can still play, live, and chase my dreams in such a place.

When we arrived at the player's dormitory, the taxi driver said sympathetically, "Are you from the basketball team? The staff have to work during the holidays. You are also working very hard."

Don't you look like a player yourself?Such a tall person, such a strong body...

Is it really a problem with your clothes?
……

After Christmas Eve, the attention of Thunder fans returned to the stadium.

"Tonight against the Timberwolves, the team will definitely win three consecutive victories!"

"Although the two champions of the Timberwolves are strong, we also have Russell and Richard."

"I bet Richard will score more than 20 tonight."

"Westbrook got a triple-double in the last game. I really look forward to this game!"

……

The team players were unaware of the raging discussions on social media, and they started intense training again.

Shooting drills.

Recently, the team's shooting percentage is a bit low, and Donovan also arranged training in a timely manner to find the touch before the game.

"Boom...boom!"

"Boom...boom!"

The consecutive shots attracted the attention of the players. Under the simulated defense of the trainer, Richard still kept hitting every shot.

Face-to-basket dry pull jumpers, step-back shots, and tentative step shots, none of them slipped through the net.

"Hey, have you noticed that Li Cha has a lot of firepower recently?" Adams bumped into Kanter, and the two were called bearded brothers, and they had an unusually good relationship.

"That's right, I didn't even have the ball." Kanter's tone was full of sorrow, but his expression was a hippie smile.

It is more important for the team to win than to score more goals, and it is not a contract year.

"Hey, don't you guys need to practice shooting? What are you looking at here?" Westbrook is more in control than the coach. Anyone who doesn't practice seriously will be mentally attacked immediately.

The onlookers were immediately evacuated, and only Brother Beard continued to point.

"Hey, you two!" Westbrook continued to yell, "If you don't practice shooting, just run back and forth!"

The two burly men trembled from the yelling, obediently obeyed the order and ran back.

"It's quite accurate." After Westbrook scolded others, he leaned aside and watched Richard's shot.

That night, the game against the Timberwolves officially began.

The home fans had a good festival, and the atmosphere on the scene was very high, which provided a great boost to the home team.

Westbrook felt that the fans were also very excited, and he directly attacked the opponent's inside line when he went on the court.

The Timberwolves were caught off guard and fell behind in the opening game.

The Thunder team also maintained a good firepower output, and the training effect in the afternoon was obvious, and the players guaranteed their shooting percentage.

Seeing his teammates perform well, Westbrook sent out consecutive assists. It seems that today is another triple-double result.

The Timberwolves rely on Towns to score points inside to stabilize the situation, and Wiggins can occasionally stand up to stop the team's bleeding, so that the score will not increase quickly and be beaten in the first quarter.

The Thunder took the lead throughout the game, and Richard waited 8 minutes before coming off the bench.

"Richard~~" A fan screamed out Richard's name, accompanied by sparse applause.

Hearing the cheers, Richard's heart was surging, his blood was surging, and he just wanted to show his better side.

It feels so good to be noticed!

The teammates on the field had vaguely given up the main attacking position to Richard, and received a pass from Morrow on the field.

With LaVine on his back, Richard half-turned and turned his back, shaking his opponent away, and scored 2 points with a jumper.The good feeling of training in the afternoon is still there.

In terms of defense, LaVine's impact was also firmly stuck by Richard, and he missed the throw.

With the Medal of Insight, Richard's defensive ability has improved by more than a little bit.

The offense already relies on dribbling and fake moves to make the opponent lose their defensive position, and the use of insight is not too much.

In terms of defense, with insight, you can rely on accurate judgment to block opponents, rather than relying on experience or psychological games.

It can reduce physical consumption and maintain better offensive firepower.

At this moment, Richard had the illusion that he ruled both offensive and defensive ends.

With the continuous singles attack, Richard continued to score, and the Thunder's score led more and more.

The atmosphere of the audience became more and more high, and the atmosphere in the first quarter reached a climax.

第一节战罢，雷霆32:25领先7分，李察德6投3中得到7分。

At the beginning of the second quarter, Richard continued to play singles, with pull-up jump shots and breakthrough layups.The Timberwolves changed their tactics, and the outside feel was good. The three-pointers were gradually opened, and the score was slowly approaching.

When the rotation time came, Westbrook played again.The Timberwolves also put the starting lineup back on the field.

Westbrook organized tactics, and Richard made an air cut to the 45-degree angle of the mid-range, which is where he scored most efficiently.

Hands up for the ball.

Westbrook passed the ball inside, Richard took the ball and turned to face the basket, stabbed out tentatively, and then made a breakthrough.The threatening action once again tricked the opponent into starting, but Richard pulled the ball back and stepped back for a jumper.

However, Towns didn't know where to jump out to make up the defense. It was the right time for Richard to make a shot, and he barely adjusted his shot but missed it.

When returning to defense, Westbrook encouraged Richard, "The choice is good, it's just the opponent's tactical target."

Richard was secretly unhappy.

The Timberwolves attacked, scored the ball inside, and handed it to Towns. Towns singled Kanter with delicate skills.

Richard happened to be defending in the same direction. Seeing that the opportunity was just right, he took a few steps back and reached out to grab Downs' ball.

The steal was successful, and Westbrook took the lead and rushed to the front from the side of the court.

Richard dribbled the ball and sprinted wildly on the other side.

The Timberwolves guard is also desperately catching up.

"Pass!" Westbrook raised his hands and asked Richard for the ball.

The Timberwolves defender was about to catch up between the two of them. Richard hesitated for half a second, and instead of passing the ball, he made a layup.

Although the defender followed suit, he still failed to defend successfully. Richard scored 2 points in a quick break.

Turning around, the Timberwolves gave the ball to Towns again, still at the same angle, and Richard rushed over to take the ball again.

This time Towns was prepared, let go of Richard's hand, and passed the ball to the outside guard, and the opponent took a three-pointer easily.

Westbrook takes possession of the ball and Richard asks for it again.

Westbrook still passed the ball to Richard.

Richard played hard again, changed direction in advance and broke through the defense, and went straight to the basket, but Downs sat under the basket and waited for Richard's arrival.

Richard didn't panic at all, he saw that the opponent was standing still and did not dare to move, he stepped on the European step to bypass the defense and got up to layup.

With his arms stretched very long, he avoided the blockage from the side. Richard threw the basketball to the basket and fell heavily on the ground.

The basketball rolled twice but failed to score. Richard smashed the floor angrily, stood up quickly, and chased after him to defend.

The Timberwolves still scored the ball inside, and Towns scored 2 points with a hook.

When the rotation time is up, Richard takes a break.After playing 6 minutes in the second quarter, he made 8 of 4 shots and scored 8 points.

Until the end of the first half, Richard did not play again.

The Thunder relied on Westbrook and Adams' pick-and-roll to lead the Timberwolves by 10 points into the second half.

"Li Cha, you have a very good touch. At the same time, you can pass the ball more, and other teammates may have better opportunities." During the intermission, Westbrook took an opportunity to pull Richard and whispered.

"Okay Russell, I see. Thank you for reminding me." Richard listened a little absent-mindedly, thinking about how to break through and seize the opportunity to score again.

Westbrook looked at Richard very seriously, but the other party didn't respond, he just shook his head and returned to his seat to rest.

The battle continued in the second half. The Thunder kept the initiative and controlled the score advantage in their own hands. The Timberwolves also continued to launch counterattacks, but Westbrook used points and assists to suppress the momentum.

"Li Cha, you have to play more patiently and pay attention to the rhythm. Our side has a lot of leads, and when the opportunities are not particularly good, we don't need to gamble on offensive and defensive steals." Donovan pointed to the situation on the field while giving instructions to Richard.

Richard had been sitting on the sidelines watching for a long time at this time, and his emotions gradually calmed down. Only then did he understand the reason why the coach didn't let him play.

Seeing that Richard had recovered from his excitement, Donovan waved his hand and replaced him.

In the 6th minute of the third quarter, Richard played again. This time, Richard became much more patient and stopped forcing the ball, focusing on his running position and tactical execution.

Seeing Richard playing, Towns' defense attention once again focused on Richard, but Westbrook kept killing him in the penalty area and causing damage.

In the remaining 6 minutes of the third quarter, Richard only took 2 shots, hit both shots, and scored 4 points.

The Timberwolves lost another 8 points in a single quarter, and the point difference has reached 18 points.

The fourth quarter was reduced to garbage time.It's just that the Timberwolves did not replace the young starters for training, so the Thunder also used the starters to fight.

In the fourth quarter, Westbrook stopped exerting himself, played lightly and leisurely, and used assists to drive his teammates to score. Richard once again played singles. After the opponent's defensive strength dropped, his shooting percentage returned to a high point.

最终森林狼102：116输了14分。李察德20投11中拿到25分。

Score 20 or more in three straight games.
