Chapter 44: No. 21 newcomer

After getting off the plane and coming to the hotel, Li Tian did some simple strength training and went back to watch Duncan's game video.

When I saw the game between Yao Ming and Duncan, I found that Yao Ming's defense against Duncan was also good. The two of them were exploding each other in the last game.

"Brother Yao, have you rested?" Li Tian called Yao Ming.

"Li Tian, ​​why are you calling at this time? It's time now. You are not ready to rest. Will your spirit of the game tomorrow be affected?" Yao Ming is still very concerned about the game between Li Tian and Yi Jianlian.

"Yes, it's because of tomorrow's game that I haven't had a rest yet. I'm going to defend Duncan tomorrow, and I feel guilty. I just saw the replay of your game with him, so I want to ask you how to defend Duncan

Is it better?" Li Tian directly explained his purpose.

"Yeah, I'll think about it."

After a moment.

"I considered your strengths and weaknesses. On the offensive end, you pull him down the outside line and use your speed to get rid of it. On the defensive end, you must set a little distance from him, leaving yourself with enough space to jump, pay attention to him

The CET and the pace.”

"Thank you, Brother Yao, I will pay attention. You can rest early."

After Li Tian hung up the phone, he found that what Yao Ming and Gasol said were similar. He used his bounce, speed, strength and footsteps to be much worse than Duncan in terms of technology.

After thinking for a while, Li Tian took a break.

"Hey, Li is so envious, I still can't play." Kang Li complained to Li Tian.

"What do you envy me? Otherwise, let's change, you can defend Duncan." Li Tian was still immersed in thinking about how to defend Duncan.

"I think, but Mark doesn't allow me to sit on the bench in this game." Conley's eyes were silent.

Li Tian felt a little sympathetic to Conley. He had almost a month since the first round of No. 4 pick in 2007, and he had not played many times. Look at Durant and Horford, who were ahead of him, are already the future of the team.

Let’s look at the players who are picking up later. There are many people who play more than him. Yi Jianlian has Bogut who has overwhelmed the team’s No. 1 pick. Li Tian is even more surprising. His playing time is much more than Conley.

"Conley, don't be discouraged. I believe you will definitely get a contract worth 100 million yuan in the future. Now you have less playing time. You can keep training. When you have the opportunity to play, you can use the performance that shocks the world and blind them.

Titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.” Li Tian encouraged Conley, and it was really not easy to live with him.

Listening to Li Tian’s encouragement to him, Kang Li’s eyes lit up again.

"Hey, the head coach's employment is really a mystery, I really can't understand his personnel arrangements." After Conley left, Gasol's daily complaints began.

"I don't know if I am confused or not. What I know is that I have to defend Duncan today, and I am still nervous now."

Li Tian still doesn't have much experience in Duncan's defense now, after all, he is the man who may become the first in history.

"Haha, seeing you like this, I feel better today. I don't have to face Duncan anymore. It's beautiful to think about it." Gasol laughed.

"You have to help me defend. If you don't run away, you will be given a block for you." Li Tian refused to let Gasol refute and left with great strides.

Gasol, who was still there, was stunned and threw the blame to himself half again.

"Li, don't leave, I haven't agreed yet, I protest."

Li Tianli ignored him and continued to move forward.

"Guide Zhang, who do you think will win today's game?" Yu Jia first raised a question that could be answered without thinking.

"No need to ask this, it's easy to answer. No matter what aspect the winner is the Spurs. If the Grizzlies don't have cavalry, the two quarters of the game may end." Director Zhang felt that the Grizzlies had no chance at all.

"Okay, then in this game, we just look forward to Li Tian being able to perform well."

Mark looked at the players' expressions and expressions and knew that there was no hope in this game. He kept losing and the team's problems were never solved, so it was too difficult for me.

The game began and the Spurs jumped to the ball.

Li Tian ran directly to Duncan and defended closely.

Parker held the ball, and Bowen stepped forward to help Parker with the pick-and-roll.

Duncan pulled Li Tian down to his shooting hot zone, which opened up space for Parker's breakthrough, and on the other hand, he came to his high shooting percentage area.

Parker did not break through the basket, but walked around Duncan and handed the basketball player to Duncan.

Duncan held the ball and did not despise Li Tian because he was a rookie.

Li Tian was fully focused and stared at Duncan's every move.

A little distance from Duncan, which was just right to prevent Duncan from breaking through the basket, but also interfering with Duncan's sudden mid-range shot.

Duncan tried several times, but Li Tian was unmoved.

He gave up the idea of ​​breaking through Li Tian and prepared to play Li Tian with his back.

Li Tian supported Duncan's back with his left hand, preventing Duncan from pushing himself under the basket.

Duncan kept using fake moves and combined with the changes in his footsteps, and Li Tian was still deceived by Duncan.

At the moment when Li Tian’s center of gravity was shaken, Duncan suddenly took action.

Li Tian had no time to stabilize his body, so he jumped hard and rushed towards Duncan's shooting.

Just as the basketball was about to reach its highest point, Li Tian touched the basketball and the trajectory of the basketball changed.

"Li Tian's reaction speed was too fast. When the center of gravity was shaken, he still used his bounce to successfully block Duncan." Yu Jia kept applauding with both hands, and the entire live broadcast room was filled with his applause.

"This ball blocked Duncan, but it can still be seen that Li Tian still lacks experience. There are many areas that need improvement, and there is still a lot of room for improvement." Director Zhang still saw that Li Tian lacks experience.

Gasol struggled to grab the rebound, and the Spurs players had already started to return to defense. Gasol, who grabbed the rebound, saw that there was no hope of a fast break, had to hand the ball to Navarro.

Position offense and defense are the Spurs' special skills. There is no player who can chisel the Spurs' defense line.

Navarro held the ball, and the only way for the Grizzlies is to create open space for Li Tian and then open up the space.

Gasol sinks to the bottom line, Duncan follows Li Tian closely, Li Tian activates his running skills, constantly changing the direction and speed of his running. Duncan almost couldn't keep up with Li Tian's pace several times, but in the end he still reluctantly follows.

He got on Li Tian's pace.

Guy suddenly came up to pick and roll for Li Tian, ​​blocking Duncan behind him.

After receiving a pass from Navarro, Li Tian made a three-pointer and made a three-pointer.

The Spurs are still playing Duncan, but Li Tian failed to block Duncan. The moment Duncan suddenly jumped, Li Tian secretly snatched Duncan. Duncan's attack posture changed, his shot was disturbed, and the basketball bounced out.

Li Tian defended Duncan without taking off, turned around and stuck Duncan who shot, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

The Grizzlies successfully launched a quick counterattack, and Navarro made a layup.

The Grizzlies started 5-0 and played the Spurs 5-0.

"Ding!"

Popovich called a pause.

"This, just one minute of the game, the Spurs called a timeout. Li Tian stopped the Spurs." Coach Zhang couldn't believe it. It was probably only Popovich who called a timeout so quickly.
Chapter completed!
