Chapter 49 Return to the bench
After several starts, Li Tian's condition also fluctuated, not as explosive as the previous substitute.
"Li, I hope I will return from injury and will not cause trouble for you." Milicic was the first person to stand up and speak for Li Tian. The two had a very harmonious relationship. He didn't want his return, so he let Li go.
Tian returned to the bench again, affecting the relationship between the two.
"Milisic, it's okay, don't worry, I think if you treat us to a big meal, it should be fine, is it Paul?" Li Tian was not unhappy because Milicic returned and brought himself back to the substitute.
.
"No problem, but we will win the game tonight." Milicic likes peace and is a person who has no desires and no desires. He didn't expect to win the game today.
"Don't worry, we will win this game. The old wolf king has gone and the new wolf king has not arrived yet. This is our opportunity."
Gasol, who returned to the familiar power forward position, also became more confident and he was also very happy without having to face Garnett.
The Timberwolves now have no player who can limit themselves. With Li Tian, he can help him improve his inside defense, and his life will be much better.
Returning to the substitute did not affect Li Tian. Several starting games made him very rewarding, especially when facing the Spurs.
In recent days of training, Li Tian has improved again. On the bench, you can try it in the competition and test the training results.
Only Conley was still frowning, and he couldn't play in this game.
Conley's self-confidence is gradually fading over time.
"Conley, don't worry, you will have a chance." After comforting Conley, Li Tian continued to train.
After adding strength training, Li Tian trained from morning to night every day, dragging his tired body every day and going back very late.
The entire Grizzlies, watching Li Tian train crazy, were also motivated, and their training was much more active than before.
"Lee, you should be very familiar with Cory Brewer, right?" Miller came over to ask him about Brewer's information.
"Brewer, not very familiar with him, you know I didn't live a very good life at the University of Florida."
After Li Tian was injured, only Horford continued to comfort and help him, and other players did not like him. Because he occupied a position in the team, he could not play, which also had an impact on them.
"Sorry, I mentioned your memory again." After being in contact for a long time, everyone knew what happened to Li Tian in college.
"It's okay, his mid-range shot is very lethal, but his long shot is not very good, so you can put it aside. His health is pretty good and he has a certain ability to break through. He needs to pay more attention when defending this aspect."
Li Tian angrily expressed his understanding of Brewer. Since the end of the championship, the two of them have never seen each other again.
"Miller, don't worry, I will help you with the defense."
"Haha, Li doesn't need it. Although he and you are both rookies, he is much worse than you. I just know in advance and there is no problem in preventing him."
After the training, everyone started preparing for the evening game.
Being mentioned from the bench to the starter, and before going through a few games, he was arranged to return to the bench again, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Li Tian finally knew why some players chose to retire even though they still had the strength to continue to compete in the NBA.
It is really hard to accept a successful player who makes him a substitute for a new player. Unless he has never won the championship and joins the team, he has the chance to win the championship, he is better off retirement.
At the end of the first quarter, Gasol and Milicic performed poorly, but Stoudemire performed brilliantly, and the Grizzlies still led the Timberwolves with a 21-26, 5 points at the beginning.
Li Tian and Lowry appeared at the same time, and the match against Li Tian was his college teammates.
"Li, do you need help? I know, you have had some unpleasant things in you, and I think it's better to solve it on the court."
Lowry knows Li Tian, who treats friends very well; treats those who have had conflicts, but they are not so friendly. Just look at Durant. Every time you meet Durant, it's a salute.
After being beaten up, Durant was almost beaten to doubt his life.
"Haha, Lowry still knows me. After playing the game, we will train together."
When Lowry heard the word "training", he almost fell to the floor. After playing the game, he still trained, so that people would not live.
Lowry passed the half with the ball, and the Timberwolves did not have a team defense like the Spurs, nor did they need to have a double pick-and-roll.
Li Tian quickly pulled from the bottom line to the high position, and Lowry was waiting on the route Li Tian raised early, and Brewer followed Li Tian.
He handed the ball to Li Tian.
Li Tian hit the ball and made a quick three-pointer.
"Swish!"
Three-pointers hit a steadily.
The whistles and shouts of fans at the scene rang out again.
The recent training results are pretty good, and my actions have accelerated.
"He has really recovered, but why does he feel that his three-pointer is stronger than before?" Brewer whispered something when he saw Li Tian take action.
"Cori, what's wrong? Lee hit the ball just now, it was not your fault."
"Nothing." Brewer shook his head.
"Li, you're faster." Lowry praised Li Tian.
"Lolly, you're about to be there, I'm stronger."
"Li, this is not good for you. Be honest in life. You are a rookie. Don't refute it casually."
After saying that, he ran away quickly with laughter.
After the change of sides, the Timberwolves' purpose is to train rookies and play badly, and to strive to get a better draft pick next year.
Brewer held the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to break through Li Tian head-on.
He didn't believe that Li Tian's knees had completely recovered. It would be nonsense to say that Li Tian was faster than him. Before the injury, Li Tian's speed was only a little stronger than himself, and he would definitely not be able to catch up with him now.
Brewer dribbled the ball in a row, suddenly stepped left and accelerated to break through the basket.
With a big step, Brewer felt that he would definitely be able to get rid of Li Tian's defense, and Milicic was blocked by his teammates at the basket.
Brewer made a layup three steps and ran towards the basket, just the moment he made a layup.
What he didn't expect was that Li Tian not only caught up with him, but also completed the jump the moment he took action.
"Oh, my god, what did I see? Li Tian successfully grabbed Brewer's hat. This ball is so satisfying."
"Haha, it's still my brother Tian who is strong and doesn't say anything, you just don't discuss the hat."
"It's worth escaping this class."
The audience was cheering for Li Tian’s hat-catching just now, and in a blink of an eye, Lowry and Li Tian had already passed half.
Just as the fans exclaimed, the Grizzlies had already launched a quick counterattack.
Lowry hit the basket and attracted the defender. Li Tian had already ambushed at the bottom corner three-point line.
The Timberwolves' defense was very messy and they didn't see Li Tian at the bottom corner at all.
Lowry hit the ball with a crotch, and Li Tian received the ball and adjusted it.
Take off and take a three-pointer.
DJ shouted, "Let's cheer for Tian Li again, three points."
Li Tian made a three-pointer, and the Grizzlies have already led the Timberwolves by 11 points.
Chapter completed!
