Chapter 41 The end of the preseason

The current Li Qi is a person who is shorter than James in height and has the same conditions as the latter. When a small and fast point guard like Ford can't get up to speed, he will lose 90.00% of his whole body.

Terry Stotts knew this very well, so when Ford returned to the defense, he called the opponent to "TJ, don't be obsessed with singles with Rich, your responsibility is to connect the team."

Ford heard the overtones of the head coach, a 175 dwarf who wants to handle a 201 player is no different from a dream, not to mention that they know your technical characteristics and don't give you a chance to make a breakthrough, so they let you shoot from a long distance.

Ford's basketball IQ is not low among point guards, so he adjusted his mentality, but on the defensive end, Li Qi is a BUG when facing the Bucks outside. Although his breakthrough is not taken care of by the NBA like James, once he rushes, it will also make the three Bucks on the outside very uncomfortable.

He is not called a cover at all, but uses his body to force Ford. After Ford was passed, Kukoc assisted in the defense. During the Bulls period, the Yugoslavian's defensive ability was still good, but with the increase of age, the current European Jordan can only rely on experience and attitude to defend.Li Qi dribbled the ball under the crotch and changed direction, and passed Kukoc again. Joe Smith did not come out, but Li Qi saw that the opponent did not come out, and he was not used to it.

In the beginning, Li Qi scored consecutive points inside, and D'Antoni kept nodding on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with Li Qi, because the opponent didn't just rely on his body to play, but he relied on his brain.

Ford listened to what the head coach said and saw that Li Qi let himself go. Ford handed the ball to Reed. Reed was on the strong side against the madman.

However, although Sprewell is old, his body is still there. Reed called a screen, Joe Smith appeared near the left elbow, and Reed rushed to the inside with the screen.Sprewell circled the screen and didn't go around it.But Li Qi let Ford go and rushed directly into the opponent's path.

The commentator on the scene yelled again, "Wow, wow, Rich is like a Ferrari and rushed towards No. 22 of the Bucks, and the opponent was entangled by him." Kevin Calabro also yelled. Portland has drafted many rookies over the years, but there seems to be no one with such physical fitness as Rich, except for the glider.But the glider's defense and ball handling cannot be compared with Li Qi.

Reid didn't expect Li Qi to come so fast. After taking a dribble, he half turned and moved the ball to his right hand. He chose to shoot. Li Qi jumped up and hit the ball directly with a bang. The sound was very crisp.

For the half-turn jump shots of most players in the NBA, Li Qi also made a special study. 90.00% of the players will turn to the right, and only a few percent will turn to the left.So Li Qi was also betting just now. When Reed started to turn around, he also moved sideways. If Reed turned to the left, then the defense this time must have failed.

Of course, there are some talented monsters with balanced left and right hands in the NBA. Dealing with them is a bit more uncomfortable than dealing with ordinary players.

But the Bucks still had the ball. Danga Zuric sent the ball to Kukoc on the sideline. Kukoc got the ball and directly chose an outside shot.

Swipe, Kukoc scored a three-pointer in the top area of ​​the arc, which counted as the Bucks stopped the bleeding.

After changing sides to fight again, Li Qi continued to force Ford. The No. 90.00 pick was really about to break down. He suddenly felt that his idea before the start of the game was ridiculous. As a player who can kill KingJames three times, is an ordinary guard able to deal with it? [-]% of the opponents he can abuse in the NCAA can't find Bei, and Li Qi abuses himself in the NCAA.

Li Qi easily broke through the Bucks point guard again. After thinking about it, Reid still wanted to get back on the field. His weight was about the same as Li Qi, but his height was a little short.

Seeing the core of the Bucks approaching, Li Qi moved his body sideways one step to the left, turned around and changed the ball from left to right at the same time, Reid's lateral movement speed did not keep up, Li Qi hit the inside, Joe Smith rushed over, he didn't want to be dunked twice by the opponent, but the former didn't do that, but handed it to Randolph, who easily scored the ball.

The Blazers played very well, because Li Qi had an absolute advantage against the Bucks' three perimeters, which led to their unusually smooth offense. On the Bucks' side, Terry Stotts replaced Ford at the back and replaced them with Eric Strickland and Damon Jones. Li Qi was really too cruel to be blasted into scum.

And Strickland and Damon Jones didn't have any good defense against Li Qi. They were not as short as Ford 175, but one 185 and the other 190 still had nothing to do with Li Qi.And it's not as fast as the former. The former is short enough to keep up with Li Qi, but these two people can't keep up at all.

Li Qi played another personal show. He made 24 of 12 games, scored 30 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block.And the No. 4 pick Ford was 0 for 1 in the whole game and only [-] assist was recorded. He was beaten by Li Qi in the previous few offenses, so the whole game was muddled.

After playing the Bucks, the Blazers played a few more preseason games. After the entire preseason, Li Qi averaged 22.3 points, 10.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game. His shooting percentage was 40.00% from the field and 30.00% from the three.The free throw percentage is 80.00%.This preseason data ranked second among the 03 rookies, second only to Anthony, who averaged 25 points per game, but Anthony's shooting percentage was only a little over 4%.
