Chapter 365 Another Raider: Millsap

Drip!

At the beginning of the game, Li Lei showed a strong desire to attack.

On the first attack, Li Lei called Gasol's pick-and-roll. After switching to Boozer, he used his flexibility to continuously change directions to Boozer, hit the basket and scored a layup.

Bang, swish!

2: 0.

In the second round, Li Lei called the pick-and-roll again.

Kirilenko knew that Boozer couldn't guard Li Lei, and once he shifted gears, he would be given military training.

So Kirilenko subconsciously looked back to observe Gasol's position, trying to prepare in advance and squeeze through the pick-and-roll.

At this moment, Li Lei seized the opportunity, pulled it up directly, raised the knife and dropped it.

Kirilenko came to his senses and rushed forward, how could there be time?

Swish!
and also.

5: 0.

"Hohohoho! Stone's desire to attack today is quite strong."

Director Zhang Weiping exclaimed in front of the CCTV camera.

"That is. And Stone's attack power is too strong now, you must not have any openings. Kirilenko's defense is so good, just look back, and Stone seized the opportunity to hit him."

Yu Jia nodded in agreement, and analyzed.

"Yes, Stone's offense is too powerful now! Throughout NBA history, only Larry Bird, Elgin Baylor, and Jamal Mashburn are better than him in offense at the third position."

The two commentators boasted about Li Lei.

Of course, they're telling the truth.

In today's NBA league, which team dares to ignore Li Lei's existence, and which defensive player dares to claim to guard Li Lei.

Looking back, Deron attacked with the ball.

After a pick-and-roll with Boozer, he squeezed all the way to the basket.

Gasol switches defenses aggressively, trying to block Deron.

Deron took the initiative to find a confrontation, and after relying on Gasol, he gained room for his shot and made a throw.

Gasol was helpless.

"Little fat man, you are in great shape, and you are the top bulldozer in the league."

But at this moment, Gasol saw Deron behind him, and a big hand patted him.

Gasol was instantly confident.

Snapped!
It was Li Lei, who slapped Deron's shot away with a slap.

"..."

There was an uproar at Energy Solutions Arena, and Salt Lake City fans felt uneasy.

Is this the strength of MVP?

Not just a strong offense, but a tough defense as well.

Offense and defense in one!
Li Lei won the MVP over Nowitzki. Many fans expressed dissatisfaction. After all, the Mavericks' record is much better than the Grizzlies.

But when it comes to defense, these fans are speechless.

Nowitzki's defense can only be said to be active and not to hold back.And Li Lei is one of the best defenders in this league, the gap is too big.

Relying on Li Lei's outstanding performance, the Grizzlies took the advantage and made a great start of 10:4.

Drip!

At this point, coach Jerry Sloan called a timeout and replaced Boozer with Millsap.

This is a bold substitution.

In any case, Boozer is the Jazz's No. [-], while Millsap is only a second-round pick.

Ordinary veteran coaches would not make such a bold move.

The Jazz attack.

Deron and Millsap played a pick-and-roll, and the moment they were separated, Millsap cut to the basket.

Deronford was so conscious that he lobbed the ball over.

Millsap received the ball and rushed in like holding a dynamite bag.

Milicic made up the defense, but was pushed back by Millsap and hit the rebound to shoot.

Bang, swish!

Drip!

At the same time as the goal was scored, the whistle sounded.

"Hoohoho!"

The entire energy solution arena exploded directly.

Salt Lake City fans yelled and jumped.

It's crazy, Millsap hit a 2+1 as soon as he came up.

Are you sure this is a second round pick?

Even on the Grizzlies bench, Carlisle looked envious: "Salt Lake City has found a treasure!"

Millsap walked to the free throw line and made a solid free throw.

Looking at his strong body and ugly face, no one can imagine that his touch is extremely soft, not even inferior to some white players.

With Millsap's successful 3-pointer, the score became 10:7.

A 3-point difference is really not worth mentioning on the basketball court, a three-pointer.

The fans in Salt Lake City were extremely excited and spontaneously cheered for the home team: "Defense! Jazz! Jazz! Defense..."

Li Lei dealt the cards at the top of the arc, trying to teach Millsap a lesson and let Gasol sink to the low post to play Millsap in singles.

Gasol sat down, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned against Millsap to dig in.

Snapped!
Millsap, however, remained unmoved.

Gasol is not convinced.

Millsap, though strong, was much shorter than he was.

Gasol suddenly became competitive: I don't believe I can't move you.

Not to mention that Gasol is a technical and intelligent player, who can't be a little passionate about a 26-year-old guy?

"what!"

With a ruthless heart, Gasol roared angrily, digging in with all his might.

Bang!
The sound of the two men's muscles colliding resounded throughout the audience, and the fans' blood surged when they heard it.

But Millsap remained motionless.

Gasol was subjected to the reaction force, but he could not stand still and staggered.

Millsap took the opportunity to make a shot, relying on his long arm, and dropped the ball knife all at once.

At this moment, the temperature in the energy solution arena rose rapidly, and it became hot in an instant.

Many Salt Lake City fans stood up directly, raised their arms and shouted, cheering loudly for the home team. Many people had unbelievable smiles on their faces: This second-round show is really surprising!
The Jazz seized the opportunity and launched a wave of defensive counterattacks. Deron Williams ran all the way, using his strong body to lean on the old Jones, pressing the old Jones for a layup.

Swish!
10: 9.

Looking at the Grizzlies bench, there was a burst of restlessness, and everyone was slightly uneasy.

So in the next round, Li Lei performed the operation himself. After calling the pick-and-roll, he switched to Millsap and "fucked" him himself.

What Li Lei didn't expect was that Millsap was very active and his footsteps were much faster than Boozer's. He switched defenses in place at the first time and directly blocked Li Lei's breakthrough space.

Li Lei's attack was a bit reluctant, and the shot missed under Millsap's interference.

Bang!

"My God! Millsap guarded Stone!"

The on-site commentator exclaimed.

In front of the CCTV camera, Director Zhang Weiping couldn't help but lose his voice: "This Millsap is amazing!"

Yu Jia analyzed: "Coach Sloan replaced Boozer with Millsap because Boozer's footsteps were too slow, and he suffered a disadvantage when switching defenses against stones. Millsap's footsteps were relatively fast, and switching defenses did not suffer so much. Long's purpose!"

In the last round, only individual Salt Lake City fans stood up.

And now, a third of Salt Lake City fans jumped out of their seats.After all, Millsap was defending against Li Lei, one of the league's superstars!
Sloan was all smiles.

Even he didn't expect Millsap to perform like this.

And this is not the first time. In the first game, Millsap was a surprise player.

The Jazz made another defensive counterattack.

10: 11.

Go-ahead!
