Start without the ball

Chapter 54

After Li Haoyu made this three-pointer, the score came to 71 to 67.

The Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 4-point lead.

On the bench, George:
"Li is so interesting, I didn't expect this tactic to really work"

Westbrook: "That's my man!"

On the other end, Li Haoyu didn't know that he had been recognized by Westbrook as a sewer creature.

The rest time passed quickly, and the fourth quarter began.

Bucks lineup: center Henson, power forward Ilyasova, small forward Snell, shooting guard Brown, point guard Bledsoe.

Thunder lineup: center Noelle, power forward Grant, small forward Diallo, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

Thunder attack.

Schroeder held the ball at the top of the arc and gave it to Diallo at 45 degrees to the left.

Diallo to Noelle in the low post.

Li Haoyu landed in the bottom corner on the right, facing Brown, and said:
"Hey, were you lost and couldn't find me before?"

Brown: "Shut up, I will really guard you this time."

The moment Brown opened his mouth, Li Haoyu took a sharp step towards the bottom line.

Brown quickly shifted his focus and followed.

When Li Haoyu saw that Brown was being fooled, he immediately started in reverse and ran to the free throw line.

When Brown reacted and was about to pursue, he crashed into Grant's arms.

Li Haoyu successfully came to the free throw line, received a pass from Noelle, and made a mid-range shot.

The basketball spun a few times on the rim and fell to the outside. Li Haoyu was a little bit unlucky.

Bucks attack.

After Bledsoe came to the top of the arc, Schroeder came to the basket hard, turned twice and had no room to shoot, and then passed the ball to Snell on the outside.

Snell was within the 45-degree three-point line on the left, suddenly received the ball after dribbling, lifted the ball, and made a gesture to shoot.

Diallo was very excited after he came on the court, jumping high, trying to cover Snell to show his talent.

After Snell picked up Diallo, he moved forward, and after touching Diallo, he threw the basketball in his hand.

"drop"

The whistle sounded and Diallo violated Snell's shooting cylinder.

Snell's shot hit the iron, but he got 2 free throws.

Li Haoyu shook his head and sighed, the current rookie is really too frizzy.

Obviously Li Haoyu has forgotten that he was beaten 3+1 by Lu Wei.

Snell made one of two free throws.

71:68.

Thunder attack.

Schroder gave the ball to Diallo on the wing.

Diallo had just been fouled by Snell, and he felt a little unhappy. After taking the ball, he started to speed up and tried to force Snell.

The frizzy young man was quickly caught by Snell. Diallo couldn't stand the confrontation, stopped, and distributed the ball to Li Haoyu, who was 45 degrees on the right.

After getting the ball, Li Haoyu made a fake shot.

Brown was so focused that he wasn't fooled.

Li Haoyu passed the ball to Grant in the low post on the right.

Brown thought he had finally succeeded in defending, and when he secretly rejoiced, Li Haoyu moved and ran to the right corner.

As Brown was about to follow, he bumped into Diallo, who was coming to cover.

Li Haoyu came to the right corner smoothly, received a pass from Grant, and made a three-pointer.

"Shu~"

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and entered the net.

74:68.

Brown reached the frontcourt and fell 45 degrees to the right, reaching out to Brad for the ball to get back on the field.

Bledsoe glanced at Brown, thinking that no one can defend and still want the ball, no!

Bledsoe called Henson to step forward for a pick-and-roll, used the pick-and-roll to rush to the basket, and chose to throw in the face of Grant's supplementary defense.

"boom"

Bledsoe scored a shot, and after Grant got stuck, Li Haoyu accepted the rebound with a smile.

Thunder attack.

Li Haoyu came to the right corner with the help of two screens, and made a mid-range shot after receiving a pass from Diallo.

"boom"

Hard work!
Fortunately, Noelle squeezed away Henson, got the rebound, and passed it back to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu made another three-pointer.

"Shu~"

This time Li Haoyu lived up to the efforts of his teammates and added an assist for Noelle.

77:68.

The Thunder players off the field stood up and raised their hands to signal Li Haoyu.

Westbrook said to George:
"With Li here, the game was really easy."

George: "Wait, don't give up the lead."

Westbrook: .
The Thunder led by 9 points, and Budenholzer requested a timeout.

Donovan told the crowd back on the bench:

"Noelle, you protected your rebounds very well. Now we hold a 9-point lead. You guys have a good rest. The next game will be handed over to Russell and the others."

Then the main lineup was gathered and tactics were arranged.

The timeout passed quickly, and the main lineups of both sides returned to the game.

Guigui was eager to win consecutively, and did not act as a demon, and most of the ball was handed over to George.

George also maintained his touch and kept attacking the city.

On the Bucks side, facing the shrinking of the Thunder, Antetokounmpo was unable to break through, and the outside shooters were also misfired.

Middleton made 5 of 1 three-pointers in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Thunder won the game with a score of 96 to 89.

The Thunder have won 9 consecutive victories, ranking first in the league.

Although Li Haoyu was frozen by the Bucks' resolute defense change after the opening game, after adjustments, Li Haoyu continued his efficient performance.

In this campaign, Li Haoyu made 9 of 6 shots, including 7 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

After the game, Tengxing Sports reporter Lin An interviewed Li Haoyu.

Lin An: "Congratulations on your victory in this powerful dialogue. In the first quarter, the Bucks focused on your off-ball running position. Can you tell me how you dealt with it?"

Li Haoyu: "The Bucks' defense switch is really difficult, but after Grant showed his excellent low-post skills, the Bucks didn't dare to switch defenses unscrupulously, and then I let go of my hands and feet to attack."

Lin An: "Is the three-pointer at the buzzer in the third quarter a tactical arrangement by Donovan or an impromptu decision by you?"

Li Haoyu: "This is the tactic I discussed with the coach."

Lin An: "Okay, thank you for accepting our interview."

After the interview, Li Haoyu suddenly asked Lin An:
"Where's the barbecue lately?"

Lin An: "The leader arranged for him to join the Warriors, what's wrong?"

Li Haoyu: "It's okay, just ask."

After speaking, Li Haoyu returned to the locker room, and Westbrook came over. In this game, Tie Gui scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

Westbrook: "Bro, if I don't play with you, I will have fewer assists. I don't have a triple-double today."

Li Haoyu: "Why do you worry about data all day long?"

Westbrook: "You still think about rebounding every day. I didn't take many shots in the fourth quarter. I gave the ball to George very selflessly, and I didn't score 20 points."

Li Haoyu: "In the game ahead of you, you should be 20 early, okay, who is to blame for the 4-for-0 three-pointers?"

Westbrook: "I suspect you stole my shooting bag."

Li Haoyu: "Wake up, your peak season is not as accurate as mine."

After finishing speaking, Li Haoyu ignored Tie Gui and walked to the bathroom.
