Chapter 51 Joint Practice 2

"hehe."

Li Luo knew that he would have more or less troubles when he joined the team. But he didn't expect that he would encounter such troubles from the first day of joint training.

Faced with such a challenge on the court, if Li Luo did not agree, his treatment at the Celtics would be very difficult.

In the final analysis, strength speaks for itself on the basketball court.

The bench players did not make a shot in one round, even though they had taken chances according to the tactics. But the talent of the starting team kept the defense from being out of position.

The offense changes sides, and now it's the starting side's turn.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire stadium became very strange.

Everyone knows what kind of practice tactics this round of attack is. It is actually a test for Li Luo.

Especially under the instruction of the team boss.

Everyone on the court was pulled aside, including the off-field staff who also noticed the difference in the atmosphere.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Luo and his opponent - the team's backup power forward Wen Baker.

Speaking of Vin Baker, he was a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA team member. After the collective bargaining agreement in the 1999-00 season, he gained 45 kilograms in one offseason due to alcohol abuse.

This caused him to fall directly from a rising star to having trouble finding a job.

This season, due to the departure of Antoine and Walker, Wen Baker also started to think about it. As a result, Li Luo, who just came here, obviously doesn't care about martial ethics.

He looked like he was going to be in the starting lineup as soon as he came. This made Vin Baker extremely angry.

Now, Wen Baker can directly face Li Luo, which makes him feel that it is a God-given opportunity. He can grab the power and return to the starting lineup today!

"Come on, boy!"

Wen Baker opened his arms, creating a large defensive area, and engaged in a one-on-one duel with Li Luo.

Li Luo dropped the ball and swayed slowly. Wen Baker stared at Li Luo's waist.

This is what makes it difficult for these old football hooligans. Even though Wen Baker's current physical condition is far inferior to that of the past, alcohol and fat have almost destroyed the body that he relies on for survival.

But similarly, many years of playing experience means that he will never make any unnecessary moves on the court. This is what Vinbeck does when he is defensive.

I just stare at my opponent's waist and let him adjust his steps and shake his shoulders, but I won't do it.

In this way, even though the opponent has to be a beat slower in starting the defense, he will not be easily passed.

Li Luo's initial shaking didn't work, but he wasn't too discouraged. He was just trying his opponent.

But there are ways to play without taking risks.

When Li Luo saw that the opponent was not moving, he immediately adjusted his style of play, turned his back slightly and started to advance sideways.

"Ha, you guys still want to play from behind?" Wen Baker was overjoyed. After losing his speed, Wen Baker's heavy weight actually gave him a strength advantage when defending the inside. Defending from behind was exactly what he wanted.

The two of them had physical contact in just a moment, just when Wen Baker was about to increase his efforts to drive this ignorant boy out of the penalty area.

Li Luo took advantage of the push provided by Wen Baker and took a step back. At the same time, he stared at the ground with both feet and jumped up high.

Li Luo was very relaxed in the air. Because he had a full take-off, this shot was even more beautiful than Pierce's shot just now.

"Whoosh!"

This beautiful goal made the head coach Jim O'Brien on the sidelines slap him, and even Auerbach nodded.

"Hey! Captain, how did I do?"

After scoring the goal, Li Luo was like a primary school student waiting for praise.

"You are very good."

As the saying goes, a connoisseur will know if he's there as soon as he takes a shot. Li Luo's ball fully reflects his good physical fitness and technical and tactical level.

No matter how uncomfortable he felt, Pierce still had to admit that this guy was pretty good.

"Wen Baker! Give him some resistance next time!"

Pierce retreated and shouted to Wen Baker.

His meaning was obvious, "This is your chance to fight for your place in the team. Don't embarrass me!"

Wen Baker was also upset. Not only did he lose face because he failed to guard against the ball just now, his poor performance must have been seen by the management on the sidelines.

This is all the fault of that Chinese boy!

Wen Baker thought secretly. Not to be outdone, he said:

"Atkins, give me that ball..."

At this point in the game, it can be said that the purpose of the training game has completely deviated from the purpose, and it has become a battlefield where everyone is fighting each other for tactical status.

Jim, O'Brien couldn't help but worry that his authority as a coach had been damaged, and it was a small matter that no one listened to his orders. Anyway, with Auerbach here, he, as the head coach, did not have that much authority.

He was just a little worried. Li Luo, a newcomer, encountered such a big backlash on his first day. Can he gain a foothold in the Celtics?

Atkins was a little confused. Today's scene made the substitute guard not know how to play.

"Atkins, give him the ball and let's see how the No. 2 pick defends?"

Pierce spoke now. As a role player, Atkins obviously has his own survival strategy.

For example, if you want to stay in the team for a long time, don't offend the team boss.

Since the captain has given instructions, what else is there to say? What does the chaos have to do with me? I am just a loser,,,,,,,,

Take the ball, you,,,,,,,

The ball went smoothly to Vin Baker's hands. Tony and Delk, who were guarding Atkins, didn't even reach out to interfere with the pass.

It seems that the Celtics' starting point guard is also smart and does not want to get involved in this dispute between the big guys.

Wen Baker, who has lost a lot of mobility this season, only has simple inside attacks. However, I don’t know if I should say that this person’s foundation is really good, and he can still win even though his body is broken.

11.3 points and 5.7 rebounds.

This data can be considered as a qualified inside substitute.

Wen Baker received the ball with his back and immediately bumped into Li Luo who was defending behind him.

The force used was a bit too much, and he even bumped into Li Luo with his shoulder.

"cao!"

Li Luo felt angry in his heart! These old golfers are so dishonest in playing, they are playing tricks on them, right?

If he were facing an opponent on the court, Li Luo would fall back immediately, and Wen Baker's exaggerated movements would probably result in an offensive foul immediately.

But this is still a team training match!

Li Luo didn't know if he could get a foul by falling to the ground, but one thing is for sure, if he does this, he will probably be called a "softie"!

Never show any weakness, this is the rule of survival at the NBA level.

Wen Beike pushed him a few times. Li Luo took the first step and took half a step back before forcefully facing the opponent's impact with his chest.

Wen Baker also found it a bit unbelievable. The toughness of this Chinese boy was far beyond imagination. This impact-like human shield center with some "little skills" did not dare to try to make a hard pass easily.

Is this man tough?

Wen Baker is really in a state of being unable to get off. Since he has not broken the space, he cannot take advantage of his shooting. There is no guarantee of hitting now.

But you let him pass the ball out, right? You just worked so hard to get the ball for so long, do you really think that I, Wen Baker, have no face?

Wen Beike must have never heard of such a saying, hesitation will lead to defeat.

Just when he didn't know what to do with the ball, Li Luo's quick hands helped him make a choice.

"Bang!" Li Luo reluctantly rushed forward and swatted the ball out of Wen Baker's hand.

The ball bounced toward Vin Baker's thigh and rolled into the frontcourt.

Li Luo, who had prepared to leave early, immediately jumped over everyone and rushed to the front court.

Get the ball, take a step forward, and start collecting the ball one step outside the three-point line...

"Bang!"

Li Luo raised the ball like fire and almost smashed it into the basket.

The rim was rattled by this heavy dunk. Li Luo, who had completed the slam dunk under the rim, was shouting selflessly to vent his emotions.

"Damn, this kind of dunk is so cool!" After adding points and strengthening his body, Li Luo finally has the capital to be in the top ten.

The nine people on the court were shocked by Li Luo's dunk, including Wen Baker, who had just been intercepted. He also forgot his frustration.

"Stop, kids!" Auerbach said from the sidelines.

"Are you finally going to intervene? This training session this afternoon was really difficult."

Head coach Jim O'Brien had been in extreme pain for a long time, and no one on the court listened to him. When Auerbach spoke, he thought his nightmare was finally over.

Unexpectedly, Auerbach just smiled and said to everyone:

"Li Luo, you exchange with Wen Baker. From now on, you will be the temporary captain of the substitute team."

Having said that, the cunning old man's eyes kept wandering over Pierce and Luo Li.

"Yes, you are really just worried about the world being in chaos. You are just watching the fun and are not afraid of big trouble!" Coach Jim almost collapsed.
