I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 15 Hiding in the arms of the coach and breastfeeding

Appearance ceremony.

Visiting Lakers:
Center: O'Neal.

Power Forward: Malone.

Small Forward: Liu He.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant.

Point guard: Payton.

That's right, the day before the game, head coach Phil Jackson approached Liu He and told him that he was going to start.

As expected of me!
Started in the second game of his career, which is unique among rookies at the end of the first round.

Home team Suns:
Center: Jack Voskull.

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire.

Small Forward: Shawn Marion.

Shooting guard: Joe Johnson.

Point guard: Stephon Marbury.

In this game, Devin George was very happy.With Kobe's return, Liu He's chances of making calls will definitely be greatly reduced.

Then his chance to regain the starting position came.

He is full of anticipation.

At the beginning of the game, Stoudemire relied on his jumping ability to win the first attack for the Suns.

Marbury took the ball and pushed forward quickly, and the Suns accelerated.

Before the Lakers could react, Marbury and Stoudemire completed an alley-oop dunk.

boom!
0: 2.

"Roar!"

Stoudemire, who landed, looked at Liu He, beating his chest and roaring.

Liu He glanced at Ma Long expressionlessly, turned around and ran to the front court.

Malone: ​​"..."

Although you didn't say anything, why do I feel like I've committed a crime?

But it is.

Hehe, the newbies nowadays are really getting more and more self-righteous.It's just a dunk, so arrogant.

I also have to go up the intensity.

CCTV-5, Director Zhang frowned and explained: "This Stoudemire is full of momentum! Sure enough, he has an impact. But this guy doesn't seem to be very friendly to Liu He. Well, it's the Lakers' turn to attack. Kobe asked for the ball, and Payton gave it... That's right, it has to be played like this, which is very reasonable."

As soon as he saw Kobe holding the ball, Director Zhang's smile instantly bloomed.

Yang Yi, who cooperated with him, was still frowning.

"But the Suns' defense against Liu He is very strict tonight! Look, Joe Johnson has been staring at Liu He, following closely."

Director Zhang looked away from Kobe wistfully, looked at Liu He who was nearby and said, "That's nothing to do. Liu He's three-pointer in the last game was too powerful. I am the head coach of the Suns, and I will take strict precautions against him."

For this point, Liu He actually expected it, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, but it was still within Liu He's acceptance range.

But, Liu He didn't force it either.

There is only one ball on the basketball court. Kobe and O'Neal may not be able to score enough points. Malone and Payton are also waiting to be fed. Liu He himself does not expect to have too many opportunities. He can drink some soup.

Moreover, no matter how good you are Joe Johnson, can you defend me like this for 48 minutes?

Sooner or later there will be a chance.

But now, since I can't do much on the offensive end, I can do something else.

In the offense of the Lakers, Kobe singled out Marion, the wing gate, pulled the ball back after a breakthrough, and then opened the distance and went straight back for a jumper.

Marion jumped high, his gibbon-like wingspan almost touched the basketball.

Swish!
2: 2.

"Hey, this ball is too difficult. As expected of Kobe! He has missed so many games and training, and still has such a high level of competition. Come up."

Weiping Bryant was thrilled.

But if he dared to say that in front of Liu He, Liu He would give him a blank stare. This is all his history of blood and tears.

The Suns attack.

Marbury tried to replicate the whirlwind of the start.

However, the experienced Payton made a fierce press when Marbury received the ball, successfully delaying Marbury's speed-up, the Suns' fast break was stillborn, and the Lakers returned to defense smoothly.

This is the experience and ability of the veteran.

However, in the frontcourt, Marbury still showed absolute speed. After continuous changes of direction, he accelerated to break through Payton.

Payton's footsteps really can't keep up with speed-type defenders.

At this time, Liu He appeared, blocking the route that Marbury broke through.

"Nice! Nice make-up defense."

Peyton thought to himself, immediately chased after him, and cooperated with Liu He to pinch Marbury back and forth.

Marbury has more than 7 assists in 8 seasons of his career, but don't think he can't pass the ball just because of his nickname of "Lone Wolf".

Liu He supplemented the defense, and Joe Johnson was the vacancy.

Marbury knew it clearly.

Just get the ball into Johnson's hands, and it's a good opportunity to open up.

But he ran into a problem. The Chinese rookie on the opposite side had wingspans beyond his imagination, and his palms were so big that he felt like covering the sky, blocking his passing route.

Marbury, who was caught off guard, didn't pass the ball for a moment, and was immediately pressed fiercely by Payton behind him, and was attacked by trash talk.

"Hey, kid, your passing ability is 76 times worse than Iverson's. No wonder the [-]ers chose him and didn't even look at you."

"No wonder the Timberwolves chose Garnett and dumped you like garbage."

Fuck, Payton's trash talk is also ruthless.

Don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and don't expose your weaknesses when you curse someone.Payton is specifically targeting the opponent's Achilles' heel.

Marbury was taken aback for a moment.

At this moment, Liu He seized the opportunity.Reach out and poke, steal.

At the same time as the steal, Liu He squeezed past Marbury, grabbed the basketball, and went straight down.

The speed of the Suns is very fast, and Marbury, Marion, and Stoudemire are closely chasing behind.

Especially Stoudemire, aggressively wanted to give Liu He a little color.

But this guy's athletic ability is really outrageous, such a big man can run so fast.

The moment Liu He ran to the frontcourt and was about to make a layup, Stoudemire and Marion flew up. Two talented monsters and four big hands covered the sky.

Fortunately, Liu He didn't jump at all, he bowed to avoid the two, and then threw the ball into the sky.

In an instant, the No. 8 player knocked away the thin Marbury, rose from the ground, received the basketball in the air, and bombed towards the basket.

Both Stoudemire and Marion, who had just landed, wanted to die.

At this moment, they didn't even have the ability to dodge, they could only watch Kobe work high above their heads.

boom!
Kobe dunks Stoudemire and Marion.

4: 2.

oh oh oh.
The ball exploded directly, and the Phoenix fans exclaimed.

On the Lakers bench, the bench players began to wave towels, and even the Zen master whistled with his thumb and index finger in his mouth.

Compared with Stoudemire's dunk at the beginning, Kobe's dunk is directly three floors higher.

Kobe himself was also very excited, and excitedly gave Liu He a high-five. After all, such a dunk has a chance to be included in the highlights of his career.

Liu He was not that excited. Although Kobe dunked Stoudemire, it was fun, but it was not him after all.

It's a pity that his athletic ability is average and he doesn't have this dunk ability.But as a man with hooks, that day won't be too far away.

Liu He returned to defense silently.

Payton patted his ass: "Little man, the defensive defense just now was beautiful, and it helped my brother a lot."

Liu He smiled: "Thanks to your trash talk, I was able to get 1 steal and 1 assist."

The two smiled at each other.

Help is mutual, you are valuable, others will respect you.

The Suns attack.

Marbury held the ball, this time he did not rush to attack, but observed the situation on the field.

On Payton's left is Kobe, and on the right is the Chinese rookie with long arms and big hands, which is difficult to deal with.

After thinking twice, Marbury still chose to go to the right.

In any case, Kobe is a well-known defensive champion in the league, and no matter how you look at it, it is easier for the rookie to crack.

After a quick start, a quick stop and a quick start, Marbury showed his housekeeping skills, changed his invincible rhythm, and successfully broke through Payton.

But Payton didn't do nothing. He gave Marbury a fierce body contact when he wiped it, causing Marbury's body to stagger and fail to fully accelerate.

Therefore, Liu He easily blocked Marbury.

But this time Marbury was prepared, leaped high, and passed the ball to Joe Johnson.

However, Liu He's arm was too long, and it still interfered. Marbury passed the ball, but Johnson didn't feel comfortable catching it, and he stumbled to hold the ball firmly.

When he was holding it firmly, he found that Liu He had come back and stood in front of him.

"Liu He hasn't scored yet today, but he is very active in defense."

Director Zhang explained.

Today's third-year Joe Johnson is still an immature starter, not the later singles Joe and Eagle King.Johnson's real explosion was also this season, but he had to wait for Marbury to be traded and Stoudemire to be reimbursed for the season, allowing him to step in and get enough tactical status before he achieved explosive growth.

At least for tonight's singles, Joe's offensive ability is still very average. Coupled with the comprehensive suppression of Liu He's height, wingspan, and weight, Joe Johnson tried twice in a row, but failed to throw the ball.

Holding the ball for too long, Payton seized the opportunity again.

"Joe, have you been standing here waiting for the kindergarten bus home?"

Payton began to press fiercely while outputting with his mouth.

Joe Johnson panicked and diverted the ball to the far side, but forgot about Liu He on the other side.

Liu He seized the opportunity again, made a precise steal, and launched a fast break again after grabbing the ball.

This time, Kobe was like a shark smelling fresh blood, pushing away Marion and running to the frontcourt.

Liu He made a long pass, slightly higher.

But Kobe jumped high and still got the ball in his hands.

Seeing that the opponents were all thrown away, Kobe took a big step, jumped high, and made a 360-degree spin dunk in the air.

boom!
6: 2.

Kobe was hilarious, and started to perform directly.

The fans were all stunned by Kobe's performance, and they were so addicted.

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson is grateful to Tex Winter: "Old man, if it weren't for you, I might lose an important puzzle."

Kobe's performance is of course great, but without Liu He's excellent defense, Kobe would not get so many offensive opportunities.

So in essence, the Lakers are currently leading, and Liu He's contribution is the greatest.

A rookie with the 25th overall pick who can shoot, defend and pass... that's too sweet.

As for Brian Cook, Phil Jackson just wanted to ask: "Who is that? I haven't heard of it. Don't say any more, I'm afraid Liu He will misunderstand. I have nothing to do with that Cook."

Old Winter also smiled happily. What else can he pursue at his age?Being able to find an excellent basketball seedling is enough to make him happy for a long time.

Compared with the laughing Lakers coaching staff, coach Frank Johnson on the opposite side is not calm.

He roared loudly: "Stephen, control the tempo and play reasonably. What we need now is the success rate."

Let the Lakers play a defensive counterattack, and the morale of the Suns will collapse.

On the court, Liu He, who has already scored 2 assists and 2 steals, was talking to Payton: "Gary, your trash talk is so cool, I have to learn it."

Payton smiled happily. There are really very few young players who are good at trash talking, and many people are unwilling to learn...but trash talking is obviously a part of basketball.

Unexpectedly, this little rookie was willing to learn. As a master of trash talking, Peyton didn't want his stunt to be cut off, so he was willing to teach Liu He.

"First of all, you have to be bold enough to say it."

Peyton directed.

Liu He nodded frequently.

The Suns are attacking, and the outside line cannot be opened continuously. Marbury is worrying about how to launch the offense.

But I saw Stoudemire stuck Malone and reached out for the ball.Marbury gave it decisively.

Stoudemire leaned against Malone and hit with his back.

However, after two pushes, Ma Long was found to be motionless.

What's even more embarrassing is that Malone put his hands in his pockets and just quietly looked at Stoudemire with a hideous expression on his face. He even tried his best to feed, but still couldn't move forward half a step.

To be honest, Stoudemire has outstanding athletic ability and can run and jump, but his lower body is his weakness (analogous to Warcraft Howard), especially in the face of a muscular stick like Malone, Stoudemire, whose back technique is still very rough, really has no advantage.

"You are so fucking soft, softer than my poop when I have diarrhea."

Marlon spat out trash talk and a chest bump.

Stoudemire's center of gravity was unstable for a moment, and he made a dribble error.

The Lakers had another wave of defensive counterattacks.

8: 2.

Coach Frank called a timeout directly.

Ma Long patted Liu He on the shoulder: "Did you see that, just talk trash like that."

Obviously, Ma Long heard the conversation between Liu He and Payton, and he also wanted to tutor the young rookie.

Liu He nodded with a serious face, took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and shouted to the sidelines with a serious face: "Coach Frank, let Stoudemire end the game and hide in your arms to feed. He is still a baby and can't play at all."

Malone: ​​"..."

Peyton: "..."

No, we taught you to talk trash, and didn't let you spray on the coach.

Although the effect is very good.

Stoudemire instantly became angry, and was about to rush towards Liu He, but was stopped by Frank.

Ma Long, Payton: What is talent?What the hell is talent!

But this talent is a little too good!

We just sprayed the opponent, and Liu He sprayed directly from the player to the coach.

Peyton said leisurely: "Little man, I advise you to talk less trash in the future."

Liu He looked puzzled, just now you supported me in learning trash talk, why did you change your mind now?
Payton explained: "Your trash talk is too hurtful, and sooner or later you will get spanked."

Liu He: "..."

Payton: "You know what? I've played for so many years, and I've had dozens of conflicts because of trash talking. But I think you have hope to surpass me in one season."

Liu He: "..."
