NBA basketball rhythm monster

Chapter 103 Rookie Wall

Sometimes, basketball, like life, always makes people feel helpless. Facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the Western Conference powerhouse Dallas Mavericks, the Celtics could not come up with any good way to solve their disadvantage on the court today.

By the time it entered the fourth quarter, the score had fallen behind by nearly 20 points. Faced with such a point difference, Don Nelson on the opposite side waved his hand. Among the main players, only Jamison, the new member of the team, was still on the court. The coach still needed him as soon as possible.

Adapt to the new club's game rhythm.

The remaining players were all substituted and clocked out in the third quarter.

The Celtics are still chasing points, although even Li Luo knows that there is little hope of catching them back. In this slow-paced era, it is unrealistic to chase so many points in one quarter. And it is unrealistic.

The Celtics team does not have a strong three-point ability, which makes the hope of chasing points even smaller.

Li Luo was actually mentally prepared for the fact that he was about to lose, but this was the first time he was really fooled. Li Luo, who consumed too much energy on the defensive end, did not have good statistics today. In the third quarter,

After ten points in the first half, Nowitzki scored 32 points in the third quarter.

Got blown away.

Li Luo asked himself that there was nothing wrong with today's defense. He had done everything he had to do, but the German tanks on the opposite side were just like cheating. No matter how you defend, I will not move.

All kinds of crooked but high-arcing goals were like precise missiles that went straight into the basket.

This kind of one-on-one defensive failure has a huge impact on the defender's self-confidence. This kind of frustration can really make the defender's heart break.

The NBA conducted a survey around 2010, asking who do you think is the most difficult player to guard.

The answer for most of them was not James, who was at the height of his popularity with the Heat, but Kobe, who was already very old and no longer so threatening.

Many players said that James himself cannot be guarded, but his style is that of a person who will pass the ball whenever his teammates are open. He is too rational. He is less rational than a striker and more like a tank defender. Really?

If you can't block it, then you can't block it. The team's insiders can try to make up the defense.

But Kobe's style is too nightmare for defenders. Once this Black Mamba notices that his opponent is showing signs of weakness, he will immediately launch a more intense attack until the opponent is killed.

Moreover, Kobe is obviously better than James in singles. Even if he adds a lot of unreasonable shots, as an opponent, you don't dare to be careless at all, because you don't know whether Kobe will score the next ball.

Therefore, you have to defend Kobe for many rounds in a game. This old snake will make you shed your skin until you die.

Today's Li Luo was completely blown away by Nowitzki in terms of both results and process. The data of 18 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists is not bad for ordinary rookies, but Li Luo is used to it at the beginning of the season.

For viewers who are looking for a ferocious performance, even passing is not considered acceptable.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, O'Brien asked for a timeout, replaced the starter and officially declared his surrender.

Li Luo put a towel on his head, looked at the floor, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. Sweat dripped from his chin and soon formed a small puddle on the floor.

Li Luo didn't say another word until the end of the game. The fact of failure is nothing to avoid. Faced with this kind of pain, only training is the antidote.

"Dududududu..." The game ended with the referee's whistle. Li Luo stood up and walked towards the German tank he had been fighting with for three quarters today.

Nowitzki also noticed this great guy who was mainly defending him, and the two hugged each other.

It was Nowitzki who spoke first:

"Li, you played well today."

Li Luo pouted, "You beat me like a Muggle today, and you did a good job."

"Haha, my rookie season was much worse than yours. I didn't have any meat on my body, and I wasn't that good at shooting. Today, Jamison and I were discussing off the court how long it would take for you to become an All-Star. He bet you that in your second year, I

I bet you can get in this year. Don’t let me down."

"Hey, that's good. Then you can definitely win the money."

In the West, Luo Li didn't dare to make such big claims. Garnett, Duncan Webb and others were targeting the power forward position, but he didn't dare to say that he would definitely make the All-Star team.

But in the Eastern Conference... there are far fewer capable insiders. At least you have to find a substitute All-Star, right?

Saying goodbye to Dirk Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks, the Celtics immediately rushed to San Antonio with the wounds of two consecutive losses. This is the annoying thing about the trip to Texas, you have to in a short time

Challenge three powerful teams in a row. Naturally, the winning rate of the Eastern Conference teams dropped sharply here.

The news that the Celtics and Texas lost two games in a row spread quickly. Li Luo's performance in these two games was not very good, so this time the media put the blame for the loss on Li Luo. This kind of

The rumors were so widespread that even local newspapers in Boston were speculating whether Lelo had hit the rookie wall.

The next day, reports about Li Luo's poor condition appeared on the pages of major media. In order to protect the Celtics' precious rookie Li Luo, coach O'Brien even ordered that relevant matters not be discussed in the locker room.

.

"Hey, Lee, were you educated by Nowitzki in the last game?"

When he arrived at San Antonio's away training arena for training, Pierce took the initiative to mention this matter. As the captain of the team, he also had times when he performed poorly as a rookie. Li Luo was so frustrated when he came off the bench in the fourth quarter.

In that scene, Pierce didn't even dare to comfort him immediately.

If there is no suitable outlet, players will inevitably carry this frustration into the next game.

Just tell me, there will always be a solution.

But Li Luo just said angrily: "Next time if I don't knock over that German tank, my surname will not be Li! Damn it!"

There was no hint of frustration in this tone. Pierce said: "???Are the current rookies with such good mental qualities?"

"Hey, no, Li Luo, you didn't read today's newspaper?" Pierce had forgotten about the coaching ban now. He took the initiative to ask Li Luo.

"You see, I have to read sports newspapers for half an hour every day while eating breakfast."

"Then you can still eat?"

"What? You don't allow others to tell you what you're good at? I'm not the kind of stingy person. Besides, if we lose this round, it will be over if we win it back next time. Except for the champion, no one will remember the other losers."

What a standard Celtics answer. Pierce likes his little brother more and more.

"Let me tell you, Li, judging from my experience, usually two consecutive losses are not reported by so many media. Maybe, someone just wants to compete with you to cause trouble...
