095: The rookie who is not afraid of MVP
Although it is difficult to play Jazz and Malone, no matter how difficult it is, Li Ang has to do his best to do his best.
After all, the team has lost three consecutive times, so it is not that true if they continue to lose.
To be honest, if Uncle Butch didn't say "Li Ang might be able to cause some trouble for Malone", this game might not be so eye-catching.
But Uncle Butch made Li Ang so popular, which really made the game popular.
It is simply a walking hot search manufacturing machine.
This coach is really worry-free.
Li Ang didn't expect that he would have such a thing in his first comeback. He just came back and hadn't adapted to the process, so he went to hell.
The first game of the starter was just a match for Odom, and the second game of the starter was just a match for Malone...
This is a bit too fast.
Li Ang is about to face Carl Malone head-on, and this game is related to whether the Raptors' losing streak will continue.
Therefore, all Toronto fans are extremely concerned about this game.
These days, everyone has noticed that more reporters have come to the training hall to interview, which is probably the star effect.
It is not Li Ang’s star effect, but Carl Malone’s star effect as the regular season MVP last season.
If you are involved in such a star, even if you are his opponent, you will instantly become the favorite of journalists.
Of course, not all those who are rivals with Malone have such superstar treatment.
The reason why Li Ang is so popular among reporters is because he is strong enough.
It’s not the hard strength of averaging double-double, but the hard strength of riding Olovokandi in the last game!
If Li Ang meets Ma Long like this, that's exciting!
Everyone was looking forward to something that could happen to Li Ang and Ma Long and create a different spark.
"Lee, who do you think you and Karl Malone will lie down and go out first?"
"Is your elbow hard or Malone's?"
"How many stitches are you going to let him sew on his head?"
Li Ang:...
Let me make it clear again, I am a serious basketball player!
Reporter: A serious basketball player who made 0 of 5 shots outside the three-point line?
Although Li Ang repeatedly emphasized that he only wanted to use basketball to solve the problem.
But it is obvious that the reporters don't believe it very much.
On the other hand, Malone did not shy away from similar questions.
"You won't see Lee sucking at me, I promise. If he does, he might have to rest for several more games."
Ma Long smiled at the microphone, and he didn't take Li Ang seriously from beginning to end.
It's normal. If Li Ang was an MVP, he wouldn't take a rookie who had just played a starting game seriously.
The reason why Carl is so excited is that he thinks that the confidence of the cute dragon coach is very interesting.
Others really like the feeling of destroying their opponents' confidence in front of others.
He will let everyone see how big the gap between MVP and rookie is. Whether it is the gap in basketball or the gap in other places.
There is no difference between us postman or not.
The day before the competition started, even Oakley told Li Ang in a rare sight on the plane to Salt Lake City: "Be careful tomorrow night and be careful!"
Who is Oakley? In the past games, he reminded Li Ang that the personal safety of his opponents should be the main focus.
But this time, he reminded Li Ang to pay attention to safety.
This shows that even an old butcher like Oakley is afraid of Ma Long's three-pointer.
But Li Ang was not nervous, but was eager to try it.
The kind of mental retardation of Olovokandi, he doesn’t feel much accomplished if he wins.
Our Lao Li is playing MVP!
On the evening of November 26, countless fans' eyes were gathered at the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City.
In the past, Toronto Cute Dragon and Utah Jazz can be described as having no highlights.
But Li Ang's comeback made this game quite a lot.
When Li Ang appeared on the basketball court, the fans of Salt Lake City booed.
The Energy Program Arena is one of the most notorious devilish home courts in the league in this era. Here, no matter whether you are Jordan or Big Dream, only Jazz players can win the favor of fans.
After a while, everyone from the Jazz also appeared.
Li Ang saw Ma Long at a glance in the crowd. That guy's figure was really outstanding.
Only when you see Carl Malone, do you know how stupid it is to say that "the arm cannot twist the thigh".
"Don't be nervous Li Ang, my cousin and I are your strong backing!" McGrady leaned over to say.
Li Ang was very moved. Tracy, who had thin arms and legs, actually dared to face Ma Long with him.
This is called a life-threatening brother!
As a result, when Li Ang’s tears were spinning in his eyes, McGrady added: “If something happens, Vince and I will definitely bring you off the ground immediately and not let you suffer too much.”
Li Ang’s tears instantly returned, I thank you!
Before the game started, Ma Long also came up to say hello to Li Ang.
"Be careful, don't treat me like Olovo Kandy. You should ask your Vice Chairman Thomas what it felt like to be out of body."
The "soul out of body" that Ma Long refers to was the elbow strike at the smiling assassin in 1992.
That made Thomas faint for a few minutes on the spot, scaring Thomas's wife to tears on the spot. Afterwards, Thomas sewed dozens of stitches.
When the commentators recalled, they would use one word to describe the elbow strike - almost killing people!
Moreover, Malone has always admitted in front of the media that he did it on purpose.
Ma Long is here to say hello, he is here to pretend to be there.
If an ordinary rookie heard Ma Longti's elbow hit Thomas, he would probably be scared.
But Li Ang was not afraid, but also replied leisurely: "Oh, okay, I have done all those who won six championships, but I can't handle anyone who has never won the championship?"
Don’t pretend to be like this, let me tell you Ma Erlangzi, I don’t want to use your trick, and I won’t be happy with that!
Li Ang deliberately said this trash talk loudly, and all the players who started the Jazz team heard it.
Suddenly, they all lost their voices and stared at Ma Long nervously.
Li Ang was hurting when he stepped on Ma Long!
The Jazz generals were really afraid that Malone would run wild on the spot, so they didn't even hit the ball and sent Li Ang away.
Malone was indeed angry. This may be the most annoying trash he had ever heard after the sentence "The postman didn't go to work on Sundays."
After all, there is no championship, which is the biggest pain in his career.
The key point is that this sentence is said from a rookie. It is a dignified MVP and is looked down upon by a rookie.
OK, OK. Good boy, I have a genital!
Next, I have 48 minutes to torture you slowly, and you'd better stick to the end!
Ma Long turned and left, while Li Ang quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Damn it just now he thought Ma Long was going to do it!
Both sides have their own starting positions. After Li Ang came back, the Raptors' starting style was still the same: Elvin, Christie, Carter, and Oakley's master and apprentice.
Jazz's side: Stockton, national father-in-law Hornersek, Brian Russell, Malone and the first big white bear Ostag.
The Jazz is stronger than Menglong in terms of paper lineup and hard strength.
Salt Lake City fans are also looking forward to the team easily crushing these cute little dragons.
At the beginning of the game, the referee threw the ball into the air.
The Big White Bear easily won the basketball with his height of 2.18 meters. Stockton slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, waved his hand, and played the pick-and-roll in the first round!
It is worthy of being the best pick-and-roll duo in history, no doubt about it.
That's what the Jazz's ball is, they can play pick-and-roll from the beginning until the end of the game.
Ornamental?
That was not what Old Sloan considered, nor was he caring about it.
Old Sloan's purpose is: I am not to be a head coach to please the fans, but to win.
Malone hid dribbling defender Elvin Williams with a pick-and-roll.
After Stockton broke through, he was about to shoot, but found that No. 3 was standing in front of him.
"Li, he was very energetic in his first game of his comeback and his assisting defense was excellent. Sure enough, with him, the Raptors' defense is not the same level at all!"
However, just after the live commentator was praised, Stockton gave the ball to Malone with one strike. The latter took off directly after two steps and scored with one hand.
After the dunk landed, Ma Long showed off his muscles that were bigger than Li Ang's butt, and was very arrogant.
This is the Utah Jazz, who attacked with a stern position, without so many fancy things.
But it can always produce the most exciting scenes.
Li Ang glanced at the senior Elvin speechlessly. Ning would have a role other than dribbling through half the game!
Why does a small pick-and-roll make you hang tightly?
Elvin scratched his head embarrassedly. It was not that he couldn't squeeze through the pick-and-roll just now, but that he didn't dare to squeeze through.
If Ma Long suddenly raised his elbow, he would have been suddenly carried away.
The Raptors attacked, and Li Ang helped Carter set up a cover and quickly cut in, but Ma Long pressed Li Ang tightly. The arm that was thicker than his legs was placed on Li Ang, making him unable to rush up at all.
Seeing this, Carter had to play solo by himself. After he changed direction and opened up a little space, he pulled up a jump shot on Horacek's head.
But unfortunately, Carter seems to have not found the feel yet and continues to make irons.
Ma Long pushed his big elbow away, blocked Li Ang, and jumped up to take the ball down.
Just when everyone thought the Raptors' offense was over, Li Ang risked his face being hit by an iron elbow and stepped forward to try to cut the basketball in Malone's hand!
Don't say it, Li Ang really succeeded.
Ma Long probably didn't expect that Li Ang would dare to play his own ball. After all, Ma Long would habitually swing his elbows after grabbing the rebound, and most people knew that he had this habit.
You want the ball, you can.
Take your life to bet.
Over time, almost no one would cut Malone's ball when he just grabbed the rebound, so Malone didn't have much defense.
As a result, this time, Ma Long really fell.
Li Ang successfully slapped the ball, but the ball flew out of bounds. If it fell out of bounds, it would still be the Jazz's ball.
Li Ang jumped desperately, jumped out of the bottom line and caught the ball back!
Leon fell heavily out of the baseline, and the regained ball was caught by Christie.
He opened the fire decisively from outside the three-point line, made a steadily shot, and lived up to Li Ang's sacrifice.
3-2, the cute dragon team responded!
"This is what Lee does, this is how important he is to Menglong!
He turned a failed attack into a scoring point.
Ladies and gentlemen, that powerful young guards are back!"
Li Ang got up, grinning in pain.
Alas, it's a pity that there are no cheerleaders girls near the NBA baseline, otherwise my flying save would be braver.
Although it hurts a little, Li Ang thought it was worth it if he could get ma Long as soon as he got up.
So when passing by Ma Long, Li Ang shrugged at the strong man with anger and distorted expression: "Go and scare other rookies, Carl."
Carl Malone has been rampant in the alliance for decades, and the deterrence force has been tightly grasped.
But today, even a rookie can't be intimidated.
He touched his elbow in anger and ran towards the frontcourt, preparing to increase his strength.
Chapter completed!
