The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 23: A lesson for the man who called himself Iverson Jr.

After two consecutive rounds of scoring, the point difference was further narrowed 41 to 27. If the point difference can be caught up to less than 10 points before the end of the half, there is still room to play in the second half.

Iguodala attacks with the ball. Although he is a striker, he can connect the team's offense and is a rare talent.

I saw him standing still at the top of the arc, and saw that after a few defense changes, Lawson was next to Guy, with a long swing behind him.

"This ball is very imaginative. Gay is 20 centimeters taller than Lawson. He must be slower to turn around than him." Van Gundy nodded approvingly.

Sure enough, Lawson got in like a loach, licked the basket with his backhand, and the ball crashed into the net.

He opened his arms and stuck out his tongue from Scarlett's direction.

"Wow, these niggas are too good at playing." Li Ming walked towards Conley.

"Mike, let's switch defenses, you can go on the offensive with peace of mind." Li Ming said with certainty.

"You...can you? Ty Lawson's footsteps are not slow, and his lower body is very strong, so it's not easy to guard against."

"It's okay, leave it to me, I will break his confidence."

"Okay, it's okay, then you should defend first. If it doesn't work, switch back after a few rounds. If possible, I will help you make up." Conley quickly ran to the opponent's position.

Bayless threw a three-pointer suddenly while Chandler was distracted by Gay inside.

"Yes, yes, after all, he is a big-hearted player who has been baptized by San Antonio." Webber refers to the magic of Bayless in last year's playoffs against the Spurs.

Ty Lawson took the ball and went down quickly. Li Ming stuck to him tightly and let him go to the right. He knew that his attack on the right was not sure about the end of the attack, and there was Guy on the right. The latter's long arm could delay his shot. basket.

Lawson made a large crossover and switched to the left. Li Ming was blocked behind him. Lawson leaned over and tried to drive into the basket, but Arthur suddenly stretched out his arm to stop him.

Lawson jumped up with all his strength, not to mention, this uplifting posture really had a bit of Iverson's shadow.

It's a pity, it's just a similarity in shape, and it's not a two-dimensional problem.

It was also when Arthur stretched out his hand that Li Ming untied Chandler's body. He jumped up from behind, roared, and picked Lawson's ball into his arms with one hand.

If you force yourself to be strong, Lao Tzu is the king.Li Ming looked coldly at Lawson who was full of disbelief, and said indifferently: Now is the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, he passed the ball without looking at the person and threw the ball long. He knew that Gay must be on the way to speed up.Gay's big windmill dunk vented the depression of the whole night, and also increased Li Ming's assists to three times.

Lawson didn't believe in evil, and dismissed Chandler who stepped forward to pick and roll. Yes, he was going to choose to eat Li Ming alone.

"Hehe, a little-known Chinese player dares to preach to me, who will give you confidence." He used more exaggerated body movements to explain what flashy dribbling is.

George Karl on the side shook his head helplessly. The atmosphere in the team is right now. If he is replaced at this moment, it may affect his mood and be detrimental to unity. He can only choose to ignore his occasional willfulness.

Li Ming is unmoved, no matter how fancy he dribbles, he just doesn't move easily, Iguodala shook his head in disbelief, stood with his hips on the right side of the three-point line, yes, he is a team first Players, such a thing is unbelievable in his eyes.

Even when he played next to Iverson back then, he chose to pass the ball first. He has always played such a conscientious role. Although many people criticized him for his lack of leadership, he didn't care.

Lawson dribbled with the ball alone for 20 seconds, and it seemed like half a year had passed between Karl and the players on the field during these 20 seconds.

He finally chose to make a shot. Not surprisingly, it was still an outside jumper, a large two-pointer, but Li Ming was always in front of him, like a swift leopard, and slapped his shot away.

Out of bounds, with 2.6 seconds left in the shot clock, Iguodala called a timeout.

"Brother, you can't do this, you can't be fooled by them, we have a big lead, and getting into singles is not something smart people do." Iguodala said very euphemistically.

Lawson stuck out his tongue apologetically and nodded frequently.

In fact, everyone knows that he will still choose to do so in the next round. He belongs to the kind of person who sincerely admits his mistakes and never changes.

Besides, he always felt that to get back from Li Ming, it was not just losing points, but also face, the ultimate face-how many heroes died because of face.

Stronger than Han Xin, but also trapped to death in Weiyang Palace by Empress Lu, dammit, how can you compare yourself to Han Xin? ?At best, a mindless Xia Houying.

Li Ming took the water handed over by the staff and drank it in a big gulp, his eyes never leaving the home team's bench.As for what his coach said, he didn't listen to a word.

After this timeout, the Grizzlies replaced Arthur and picked up Randolph. It seems that they want to defend their backcourt rebounds and at the same time have an extra point of assurance on the offensive end.

Although Gay is fierce, he is too obsessed with singles, and there are also problems with his shot selection. He is unreliable at critical moments and can only play with the wind.

With the whistle of the referee, the Nuggets served, and Gay covered Iguodala with a pair of long arms. In 2.6 seconds, he could only choose to make a quick shot, so the basket was the best choice.

Iguodala hoisted the ball inside when the five-second serve time was about to expire. Chandler missed the ball under Randolph's interference. Adjust it, and when he wanted to shoot again, the light came on, 24 seconds Violation.

Conley made a quarterback-style long pass. After the ball fell several times at the top of the arc, Bayless shook Fournier's defense at the top of the arc on the left, and ended the offense with another three-pointer.

"The Grizzlies' three-point opening is critical, and it can bring out the Nuggets' inside defenders. This will make it easier for Mike Conley in the second half."

"I don't know what method Lawson will choose to end this offense this time."

"Lawson's breakthrough is one of the important factors for the Nuggets to dominate the West this year. He is a fish in water in George Karl's system." Van Gundy has a lot of experience in using this small man.

Come on, North Carolina ace guard, come on, I'm going to rub you down in one go.

Li Ming started to lead the defense, Lawson dodged left and right, almost eight seconds before halftime.

"Lee's sudden press made him very uncomfortable, which may affect his subsequent shot selection." Van Gundy also wondered about the guard's resilience.

"The smartest way for him at this time is to share the ball. God, they have a strong forward team like Chandler and Iguodala on the team. Their athletic ability is almost impossible for other teams. It's a disaster."

"But he's stuck in singles. I bet one or two more rounds like this, George Karl will definitely put him on the bench. Look."

Iguodala ran back into the penalty area, and Lawson didn't make the ball in time. This fleeting opportunity disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Damn it, pass, buddy, do you know the word pass?" Gallinari also began to become impatient, running back and forth for several consecutive rounds without even touching the ball. Not a good thing to say.

After all, he is not Ray Allen. He needs to touch the ball more to warm up slowly. There is still a long way to go between him and Ray Allen, or a mountain.

Li Ming began to harass Lawson with various tricks, luring him out of control and making him shoot blindly.This Lawson is really a one-sided animal, he really fell for it, and plunged into Li Ming's arms suddenly.

Li Ming fell down and the whistle sounded.Foul by home team number three.

"Ulla..." Some anxious voices began to appear at the home court, and the fans were unwilling to attack with such frequent power outages.

What they need is the feeling of galloping, maybe because of the national broadcast, Lawson's mentality is wrong, he wants to win too much, and wants to show the opportunity too much.

After all, this year is his contract year, and he needs to show excellent performance to impress the managers sitting in the office.The national competition is undoubtedly the best stage.

George Karl finally couldn't help calling a timeout, "Wow, you dare to boast that you are the second generation of Iverson?" Li Ming chased Lawson who was walking off the court, and kept nagging in his ear.

"Yo, it's interesting, it reminds me of male hippos in rut in the animal world." Weber joked.
