Chapter 345 What I Want More Is Victory
Double attack!
At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves adopted a double-team defensive tactic against Li Lei.
Director Zhang Weiping was shocked immediately: "The Timberwolves' tactics are unreasonable."
The Timberwolves bench, head coach Randy Whitman is also in a daze.
He remembered very clearly that he had never deployed double-team tactics.
Turning his head to look at the assistant coaches, seeing several assistant coaches shaking their heads at the same time, Whitman was even more convinced that he had never deployed such a tactic.
After a few more seconds, Whitman's face became very ugly.
He figured out what was going on.
Trenton Hassell, a role player, has no guts to go against the head coach's tactics, let alone take the initiative to help defend Li Lei.
After all, this matter is thankless.
Then things will be clear.
There is only one player in the Timberwolves who dared to openly violate the head coach's tactics and force other players to change tactics.
Kevin Garnett.
Coach Whitman was furious.
"This bastard Garnett changed his tactics without his permission. How arrogant! This guy doesn't know what respect is!"
However, as an NBA coach who has only coached for three years, Whitman also knows that he does not have enough voice.
If you really want to have a conflict with Garnett, he must be the one who gets out.
So Whitman suppressed his anger and held back.
Facing the double-team, Li Lei didn't flinch, but chose to force his shot. After all, he felt good tonight.
At this moment, Hassell and Davis rushed forward together, causing great disturbance to Li Lei.
As soon as the ball was shot, Li Lei felt very bad.
Bang!
Sure enough, Li Lei hit the iron with his first shot.
And, this is just the beginning.
Under the attack of the opponent, Li Lei made 3 of 0 shots in the start.
The Timberwolves also took advantage of this opportunity to build a lead.
The score is 6:0.
When returning to defense, Garnett chased after him and said quietly to Li Lei, "Don't worry, the game has just begun. You still have a lot of opportunities, so you can shoot slowly."
Seeing the mocking smile on Garnett's face, Li Lei's anger rose instantly, and he couldn't suppress it.
Seeing Li Lei's anger, Garnett became even more proud.
"Why, you still want to do something to me? I'm standing here, come here!"
bitch!
crazy!
moron!
……
Li Lei wished he could beat Garnett to death.
But after thinking about it, this is Garnett's usual style, using trash talk to arouse the opponent's anger.
If he really did it, he would fall into Garnett's trick.
In case of being sent off, then 0 points in the last game.
Don't even think about being the scoring champion.
Thinking of this, Li Lei forcibly suppressed his anger, took deep breaths continuously, and calmed himself down.
Afterwards, Li Lei stopped talking to Garnett and turned around to leave.
Seeing that Li Lei ignored him, Garnett looked disappointed.
Timberwolves attack.
Garnett forced Gasol in the low post, turning over and hitting a jumper.
Swish!
8: 0.
The Grizzlies attack.
Li Lei looked at the scoreboard and felt that his mind was a little confused, should he continue to compete for the top scorer?
Li Lei began to hesitate.
In the front court, as soon as Li Lei got the ball, Davis and Hassell rushed to the mountain.
After Li Lei dribbled the ball, he made a sudden move because he was hesitant and his actions were not firm enough.
Ricky Davis seized the opportunity and cut off the ball in Li Lei's hand.
Fortunately, Li Lei blocked Davis with his body and let the basketball fly out of bounds.
The ball still belongs to the Grizzlies.
There was a commotion at the FedEx Center, and the Memphis fans were very disturbed. KT boards, cardboards, and slogans were all put down.
If the game continues like this, let alone the scoring champion, the Grizzlies will be slaughtered at home by the Timberwolves tonight.
"You can't fight like this!"
Director Zhang Weiping was very worried and angry: "The Timberwolves don't play their cards according to the routine."
"This is the final game. The Timberwolves can't make it to the playoffs anyway. Why bother to fight so hard in the last game? I don't ask you to release water, but you don't have to be so targeted."
Just then, the whistle sounded.
The Grizzlies called a timeout.
Zhang Weiping looked at the court and found that it was Li Lei who called the timeout.
Walking to the bench, Old Jones leaned over: "Why is Kevin (Garnett) crazy? He's targeting you tonight."
Look, Old Jones has seen Garnett's intentions.
At this moment, Li Lei had calmed down, took a sip of water, and said calmly: "I don't blame him, it's because I am not capable enough. If I was strong enough to score in the face of a double team, I wouldn't be in the current situation. "
Old Jones: "..."
Carlisle: "..."
Other Grizzlies players and coaches: "…"
"So, is that why Stone can be a superstar at 22?"
"Find faults in yourself, not in others."
"There is only one reason for failure, and that is that I am not strong enough!"
Everyone couldn't help but think that their hearts were greatly shaken.
Among them, especially Tyronn Lue, a role player who has been teammates with both Jordan and Kobe.
He has the deepest feeling.
Looking at Li Lei's back, he seemed to see the shadows of Jordan and Kobe.
Tyronn Lue shook his head: It's strange, Stone Mingming is much different from Jordan and Kobe, why do I think they look like them?
"Because they have the same character!"
That's... paranoia!
Perseverance to the extreme is paranoia.
Tyronn Lu couldn't help but smile.
"I'm teaming up with another amazing guy."
Immediately afterwards, Li Lei took another sip of water to calm himself down completely.
"Coach, we may have to change our tactics tonight."
Carlisle nodded.
What was the original strategy for the Grizzlies?
Give all the balls to Li Lei, let Li Lei score points, and get the scoring champion.
This is something that the entire Grizzlies team supports, and coach Carlisle naturally knows it.
"You mean, let Paul play support, you run without the ball?"
Carlisle asked.
As soon as Li Lei got the ball, the Timberwolves double-teamed.That being the case.Li Lei playing off the ball is the best solution.
"No!"
Li Lei shook his head: "As long as the Timberwolves are willing, they can double-team without the ball, and I won't even be able to catch the ball."
Carlisle nodded, indeed.
"So, forget about the leading scorer."
Li Lei suddenly said loudly.
Everyone was surprised.
The scoring champion is gone?
"That's right, no more!"
Li Lei said firmly.
Everyone: "..."
After fighting for a whole season, but giving up at the end of the goal, how determined is Li Lei?
"why?"
exclaimed Guy.
He couldn't understand.
Not only him, but other people on the team are also difficult to understand.
Li Lei looked at the scoreboard.
"8:0!"
This number hurt Li Lei's eyes.
"Sure enough, I want victory more than scoring champion!"
Li Lei said with a smile.
The whole place was silent.
This is not the first time Li Lei said this sentence.
In an interview before, Li Lei used this sentence to deal with reporters.
And now, Li Lei said it again, from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps Li Lei himself could not have imagined that a random sentence he made up at the beginning would speak his mind.
"Of course, what I want is not an easy victory, I want to slaughter the Timberwolves!"
"That bastard Garnett, who does he think he is, dare to be arrogant in my territory! I will kill him and let him remember this game for the rest of his life."
"Later, the Timberwolves will definitely continue to double-team me. Be prepared and run actively. As long as there is a chance, I will pass it out. When you receive the ball, don't hesitate to shoot boldly!"
