Chapter 187 Livingston Lost His Opportunity
On the Bulls' bench, a group of young players sat there dejectedly.

Pippen and Cartwright looked at each other, and Pippen was about to come forward to comfort and improve the morale of the Bulls.

But Wang Shipeng suddenly said: "What's wrong with everyone? Why are you like an eggplant beaten by Shuang."

Seeing everyone looking up at him, Wang Shipeng smiled and said, "There is nothing to worry about. That guy Elton made [-] of [-] shots in the first quarter. I don't believe that guy can maintain such an abnormal shooting percentage in the second quarter." .”

Milicic and Chandler would have blamed themselves a lot.The two of them felt that their failure to hold down Brand led to the team's first-quarter loss.They didn't even have time to look at Brand's stats, they just remembered how the guy made shots, and even felt a sense of powerlessness afterwards.

Pippen and Cartwright looked at each other and nodded to each other. Wang Shipeng is becoming more and more like a leader, which should be good news.

Today's game did not receive the treatment of being broadcast live across the United States.However, the Tianchao Sports Channel broadcast the game live.

At this time, Zhang Weiping in the commentary was also saying: "Fans and friends, don't worry, the Bulls are currently behind to a large extent because of Brand's abnormal shooting percentage, and he will never be able to maintain this throughout the game." Shooting percentage. Once his shooting percentage returns to normal, the Clippers will be finished."

On the Bulls side, Cartwright also followed up with Wang Shipeng's words.However, the Bulls are more stubborn.

Roger Mason asked, "Coach, what if Brand has been so accurate?"

As soon as Mason finished asking, he saw that his teammates around him looked like idiots, and Mason also reacted instantly.

Mason patted his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.His question just now was not very professional.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cartwright clapped his hands: "Come on, kids, just do what you said just now. If that guy Elton can really maintain a 70.00% hit rate, we will admit it."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Shipeng and Milicic did not play, and Marcus Fizer and Stephen Mobley played.Chandler stepped up to center.And the number one position is Roger Mason.

Cartwright gave them the task of holding on for 5 minutes, handing over the offensive end to Turkoglu's organization, and Mobley's main attack.On the defensive end, Fizer and Chandler teamed up to limit Brand.As for Kaman, leave him alone if he stays away from the basket.

Wang Shipeng sat leisurely in his seat, he was not too worried about the competition.Even if Mobley can't maintain the score, resting for a few minutes before playing is enough to reap the game.

Wang Shipeng believes in his own strength, and Brand is not enough to make him feel powerless.Because Wang Shipeng knew that Brand was absolutely incapable of maintaining the touch for a long time, especially when he saw Brand playing again.

Brand knew this too, and no one knew his situation better than himself.So he negotiated with Livingston from the beginning, he was responsible for attracting the defense, and Livingston was responsible for the offense.

Sean Livingston, another talented high school student in the American High School League after LeBron James.

Unlike LeBron James, Livingston's high school career was more of a pure point guard.

After graduating from high school, his outstanding performance in the senior season made Livingston selected to the All-American First Team.Duke, North Carolina and other top universities in the United States have cast olive branches on him.

But a stellar performance in high school and an impeccable rookie season for LeBron James before him fueled Livingston's pursuit of fame and fortune.

He was unwilling to accept the training of university, but chose to pursue career directly.

In draft projections, he is said to be able to get the same pick as Howard.Livingston, who was finally selected by the Clippers with the fourth overall pick, also became the highest-ranked high school point guard.

But Livingston's body is too thin to adapt to the high-intensity confrontation of professional leagues. After all, there is only one LeBron James.

The Clippers are still patient with Livingston's training, and they are not in a hurry to use him as a savior like James, but slowly let him adapt step by step.

But today it is obvious that Livingston cannot be allowed to slowly develop insignificantly.He has to take responsibility for the team's offense.

Livingston held the ball and faced Roger Mason who was defending him. He really didn't pay attention to the little man in front of him.

Even Livingston didn't choose to break through, but pulled a jumper immediately after a feint.

A long two points accurately drilled into the basket.

Livingston gave Mason a disdainful look.He thinks this guy is probably the most lax defense he's ever faced in his career.I really don't know how such an old guy can gain a foothold in the league.

And soon Mason showed Livingston why he was in the league.

Back on the offensive end, Mason quickly got rid of Livingston who was defending him with the help of Fizer's pick-and-roll.Then he received Turkoglu's point and hit the basket.

Seeing Mason's arrogant celebration, Livingston bit his lip hard.He didn't even look at his teammates, and he went straight to the fast break after getting the ball.

Well, it's just the fast break that Livingston thinks.Mobley had already followed ahead of time and was not thrown off by Livingston.

If it was Livingston who came back after a serious injury with a broken leg, of course he would know to pay attention to his back.Most of the blocks that can be selected for the top five goals and top ten goals are chasing big caps.

But now Livingston is only 19 years old, and he is still a child who has not experienced severe beatings in society, so he is desperate when he gets excited.

And so a block that would go down in the top ten of Mobley's career was born.

Livingston was stunned as he watched the basketball fall to the ground and quickly be controlled by Mobley.

Brand is also confused, this is what the team said is a talented high school student who can rival James, and a future superstar.

In the first quarter, he didn't have a lot of roles, so it's all right, but in the second quarter, what kind of thing is he playing.

Brand felt his physical strength and shook his head helplessly.Forget it, let's do it ourselves, this game must be won.

Brand himself actually didn't expect that the first energy saving performance would be so good.It's stressing him out right now.It's okay if the Clippers win this game, it will definitely become a milestone night in his career.But if you lose, it will be really embarrassing.

So when he saw Mobley swaying Jarich to make a mid-range shot, Brand simply forgot Livingston.

Livingston's first chance to rise was lost just like that.

Ask for votes, guys.
