The game continued, and two consecutive three-pointers were hit, which greatly improved the team's morale. The Grizzlies players became more and more courageous as they fought.
The Timberwolves were helpless in the face of Li Tian's three-pointer. If you defend alone, Li Tian can run without the ball and kill you. If you defend alone, Li Tian can't defend you at all. If you double-team, other players will be open. Chances are, the Timberwolves are having a hard time at this time.
The Timberwolves do not have a perfect defensive system, and they often find themselves unable to find the players they are defending when returning to defense. This has happened many times.
They are all weak teams. Timberwolves head coach Whitman called a timeout in order to disrupt the Grizzlies' rhythm.
"Li, your three-pointers are getting more and more accurate, but why are you so stretched in the mid-range and not hitting any of them?" Conley praised Li Tian without forgetting to hurt Li Tian.
"Conley, it's not inaccurate. Don't you know that three points is one more than two points?" Li Tian became more and more shameless.
"Haha, I have never seen such a shameless person. Does Conley know what is the thickest thing in the world?" Gasol was as arrogant as ever.
"I know, it must be the skin of your old bitch." Lori interrupted.
"Lori, your answer is very close." Gasol glanced at Li Tian after speaking.
The bench was rolling with laughter.
Lowry gave Gasol a thumbs up.
With the score leading, Mark also indulged the players a little bit, "Everyone is playing well, just keep it up. Conley, you and Li will cooperate more."
The timeout ends and the game continues.
"Lee, Brewer is coming up." Conley touched Li Tian with his arm.
"Okay, let's continue our performance." After saying that, he got into a defensive position.
He clapped his hands at Brewer.
Although Brewer and Li Tian did not have a direct conflict, they still had some conflicts, just because of the competition for positions in the team and some unpleasantness.
"Li, are you sure you want to provoke me?" Brewer was very confident, because after Li Tian was injured, he had advantages in all aspects.
"Provoke you? I just want to end this game as soon as possible."
Brewer was ignored and angry.
He stopped talking and asked for the ball directly, signaling his teammates to pull away.
After a series of crotch strikes, Li Tian made a covert gesture towards Gasso under the basket.
The two often cooperate with each other, telling Gasol that he will force Brewer to his position under the basket and be ready to cover and block shots.
Gasol understood and slowly moved to the location pointed by Li Tian.
Brewer suddenly accelerated, and Li Tian stepped forward and forced him onto Gasol's defensive line.
After passing Li Tian, Brewer also relaxed his vigilance, thinking that his teammates under the basket would help him block Gasol and Milicic. In the NCAA, he was used to Horford and Noah blocking people under the basket.
Keep your head down and continue to kill the basket.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and Brewer took the ball and prepared to take a free throw.
The referee made a penalty of hitting someone with the ball.
FedEx Arena fans booed.
Brewer blushed and threw the ball to the referee.
"Man, you are so bad at drawing fouls. When will you teach me?" Li Tianzhu looked at Gasol seriously.
"What's the foul? It's because that guy is so tough. No one is looking. He just kills at the basket. It hurts too much." Gasol rubbed his chest.
"Conley, don't tell me, Paul is pretty good." Li Tian blinked.
"Haha, yes, Paul, I think you would be particularly popular if..."
Gasol is so angry. When the game is over, see how I deal with you. Li Tian, I am not done with you.
The Timberwolves did not interfere with Gasol's free throw, but a group of pig teammates successfully interfered.
"boom!"
The first penalty was short and the shot came out.
Teammates stepped forward one after another, patted Gasol's butt and said, "Come on, Paul."
After saying that, I couldn't help but glance at Gasol's chest, which scared Gasol to the point of tightening his grip.
Gasol took a deep breath and adjusted his condition.
The second free throw was a solid hit.
Next, Conley, Li Tian and Gasol had no cooperation from the outside and continued to score. Li Tian also ran out of the open space many times from the outside, hitting 4 of 6 three-pointers, and then hit a 15-7 spurt, and the score difference came to a close. to 20 minutes.
At halftime, Lowry ran to Gasol and circled around.
He muttered something in a low voice, "Li's observation is really careful, but is there something wrong with his orientation?"
Last time Taylor came to watch the game, his teammates changed their views on Li Tian's orientation, and it feels like it has changed again now.
"Lori, what are you mumbling about?" Gasol felt a chill on his back.
"Ahem...it's okay, it's okay. I'm telling you, Li has always had problems with his orientation before. How careful are you observing?" After saying that, Lori left quickly.
Gasol also felt that something was wrong with Li Tian when he heard it. "No, Lowry, just wait for me. You will enjoy it at the end of the game."
Several people in the locker room were chatting happily, but when they saw Mark coming in, everyone stopped talking.
Gasol glared hard at Lowry.
In the second half of the game, neither Gasol nor Li Tian was scheduled to play.
As soon as Gay came into the third quarter, he showed off his power and successfully defeated Brewer in consecutive singles.
The score difference between the two teams has always been about 20 points.
The Grizzlies slaughtered the Timberwolves 80-109 at home with 29 points.
Li Tian played 20 minutes and scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.
...
"Li, do you want to practice more?" Gasol looked at Li Tian with a smirk.
"I want to practice more. I just sweated today. I love training. Let's go." Li Tian walked to the training ground.
"Guys, Lee went to practice more." Gasol whispered to a few people hiding aside.
"Haha, we need to help Li train his movements without the ball." Milicic smiled sinisterly.
The few people were discussing something, and at this time Li Tian had already started three-point training.
"Li, we think your three-pointers are already very accurate, but your running position is still a little bit off. We are here to help you train your off-the-ball running. Brothers, let's get started."
While they were talking, several people took the things they usually use for defensive training and started chasing Li Tian all over the training hall.
"Lee, run faster. I'll take a break first, and you three will chase after me first." After Gasol finished speaking, he sat on the sidelines.
"You guys are so shameless, you are committing murder." Li Tian protested loudly as he ran.
"Conley, if you go faster, you will catch up with Lee. You are a defender and you can't even catch up with the small forward. It seems that you need more practice. I want to give Mark some advice."
Gasol sat off the court and scolded Fang Qiu.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, Hamilton's off-ball movement skills have been upgraded to gold level.]
Li Tian suddenly stopped and finally upgraded.
"Hahaha." Demonic laughter.
Just laughed out loud.
"Bang bang bang", several people kept hitting him with sponge cushions, and Gasol also rushed over.
After being beaten more than ten times in a row, Li Tiancai recovered from the excitement of the upgrade.
He immediately accelerated and started running.
"Haha, you can't catch up, can you?" He became stronger again.
"Well, he seems to be running faster, do you want to chase him?" Conley looked at Lowry.
"Run a ball and block it at the door." He ran so fast and stopped following. They all played the game for more than 30 minutes.
"Lee, stop, I even suspect you are taking drugs." Milicic said, breathing heavily.
"You just took drugs. This is the result of my training. By the way, what are you guys doing here?" Li Tian was still in the excitement of the upgrade, and his emotions slowly calmed down before he realized what these guys were going to do. ?
