Chapter 52: Being taught by McGrady
Beautiful Country Local Time December 5, 2007.
Grizzlies visit Houston and challenge mosaics.
"Li, I feel you're very excited today. Is there anything else that can excite you except Paul?" Conley, who had already lost interest in the game, could only liven up the atmosphere in the locker room.
"Conley, I'll give you a chance, I can say it again." Gasol gritted his teeth and looked at Conley.
"Paul, just make a joke, don't be angry." Conley was afraid in seconds.
Conley didn't feel anything to be embarrassed at all. It was not embarrassing to be afraid in seconds. What was embarrassing was that he still had to be afraid after being beaten, so he was not as good as a bachelor who was afraid in advance.
Looking at Gasol, who was furious.
"Conley, your choice is wise." Li Tian applauded Conley's choice.
"Li, it's all because of you that I was implicated. It's really wronged." Gasol was full of grievances.
"Paul, what does it have to do with me?" Li Tian was puzzled.
"Last time I said I had information, was it you? Every time after the game, a beautiful woman handed you a note, but you didn't connect, right?" Gasol was spitting all over his mouth.
"This is all me, is it related to your involvement?" Li Tian likes beauties, but he still has the conservatism of the people of the Celestial Empire and will not do anything casually.
"It's because of this that they think you like men, and that man is still me. Do you think I'm very wronged?"
Li Tian was confused.
Looking up at the ceiling.
Wangtian asked three questions: Am I on earth now? Who are they? What are they doing? What kind of genius logic are these people?
"Conley, it seems that I need to show you the ghosts of Memphis at 3 a.m. during the home game." Once, in order to retaliate against Paul and his two meals, he ate his salary for half a month. At about 3 a.m., he called the few people crazy and called them to go to training.
"Li, I was wrong. You can't call me at three o'clock in the morning. That's terrible."
The few people quickly surrendered, and when they looked back, they all felt terrible.
At three o'clock in the morning, Memphis has only ghosts besides ghosts.
"Squeak" Mark pushed the door open and entered.
Everyone stopped making noise.
"There is only one goal today, which is to win this game." Mark paused when he saw no one responding to his words. "Conley, you still have no time to play today, continue to study."
"I understand, coach." Conley replied weakly.
If you carefully observe Conley's expression now, it is not difficult to see that Conley is like a volcano that is about to erupt. It seems to be calm, but in fact it is ready to go, and it is just a little bit short of Mars.
Conley's voice was cold, and everyone felt Conley's disappointment.
Mark didn't even look at Conley, and continued, "Paul, Milicic, you two must lock Yao Ming and limit Mosaic's inside line. Li, you pinch McGrady, we can win this game steadily."
The three people who were called were stunned.
The three of them looked at each other, said nothing, and nodded to each other.
"Fight hard today and win this game." Mark's one-man show.
Before the game started, Li Tian came to Gasol and Milicic.
"Paul, what do you think Mark is going to do? Does he treat us as a god?" Li Tian was not unconfident, but was confused.
"Stop talking about you, I don't understand where Mark's confidence comes from. We can lock Yao Ming and McGrady." Gasol himself did not believe in himself, nor did he think that he and Milicic could lock Yao Ming.
"Anyway, I don't think I can do it. Yao is just a monster. I lock him up, and Mark is dreaming." Milicic thought this was a fantasy.
"You two are content. I'm against McGrady alone. Have you ever considered my feelings?" Li Tian cried with a sad face. He really didn't look at the calendar when he went out.
"Okay, I admit, it's hard for you, Paul, suddenly I feel that we are not that difficult anymore. If you work hard, there is still a little hope. Look at Lee, do you still feel pain?" Milicic patted Gasol on the shoulder.
"I feel much better after hearing what you said." After that, the two left with a smile.
Li Tian stood alone in the player's passage.
What's the point of asking for this teammate?
"Go away, Li, you will lock McGrady in a while. Come on, look forward to you." Lowry made a cheerful gesture.
"Lorry, don't run away." Li Tian quickly caught up with Lowry.
"Lee, I feel a little sympathetic to you. Lock McGrady, Mark values you too much."
Li Tian looked at Lowry with contempt.
Teammates came one after another to cheer for Li Tian.
"Hello, everyone, today's live game is that the Memphis Grizzlies challenge Houston Mosaics away. In this game, each team has a Tianchao player, namely Li Tian of the Grizzlies No. 0 and Yao Ming of the Mosaics." Before the game began, Zhang Weiping began to introduce the situation of the two teams.
"Teacher Zhang, what do you think of Li Tian's recent performance? It seems that it is not very stable. Can you give a detailed analysis?" Yu Jia helped the fans ask the questions they wanted to ask.
"The head coach of the Grizzlies where Li Tian is, is a rookie coach. He has no coaching experience and has much worse arrangements and training for players. Li Tian's playing time has been unstable recently, and his position on the court is different. It is normal for his unstable performance. If he plays stably in the future, he will be much better." Coach Zhang carefully analyzed the reasons for Li Tian's unstable performance.
"Yes, without a stable playing time, it is difficult to cooperate efficiently. Li Tian successfully restricted McGrady in the last game. Does Li Tian still have a chance to defend McGrady in this game?" Yu Jia was waiting for Director Zhang's answer.
"It's very difficult." Zhang Weiping said two words with difficulty.
“The competition is about to begin.”
Although Li Tian was arranged by Mark to defend McGrady, he continued to be on the bench today.
There has been no change in the starting lineups of both teams.
Milicic beat Yao Ming by jumping the ball, Stoudemire got the player, assisting Guy to make a three-pointer.
At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies had the advantage on the field and kept suppressing the mosaic.
At the end of the first quarter, Guy was intercepted by McGrady.
Bunchi Wells received an assist from McGrady and scored a layup, and the Mosaics overtook the score.
Then Guy missed a shot, McGrady grabbed the rebound and assisted Alstom to make a three-pointer.
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams reached 20-24, and the Grizzlies were 4 points behind the Mosaics.
"What did McGrath play? It's too bad. She missed the shot and made a mistake. Gasol's performance this year was poor, with only 2 points in 4 shots, and McGrath's shooting percentage was also very low. It was just because of his poor touch, Guy did not form an effective defense against McGrath at all." Zhang Weiping said.
"Li Tian has not played yet, so I don't know when the head coach of the Grizzlies will arrange for Li Tian to play. Guy's poor performance is increasingly looking forward to Li Tian's performance in the future." Yu Jia is looking forward to Li Tian's appearance.
"Haha, Yu Jia, you really want to come to whatever you want. Li Tian has already started to warm up on the sidelines." Director Zhang became excited.
"I finally saw Brother Tian coming on stage, look forward to it."
"I'm confused. I'm really confused whether to support Li Tian or McGrady."
Li Tian knew that McGrady felt bad today, but he didn't dare to relax at all. Stars of McGrady's level would find the feel at any time.
"Li, you're unhappy with the Grizzlies. Do you want to have a mosaic?" McGrady was carrying the ball and chatting with Li Tian.
"Hey, McGrady, you can't do this. Shouldn't you talk trash? How could you invite others to join on the court? If you don't let me put a hat on me, I'll think about it; or how about you come to the Grizzlies?" Li Tian suddenly had a very funny feeling. The two people who were in a competitive relationship did not talk trash on the court, but actually grabbed each other.
"Without saying anything, I'm going to start shooting. Are you still guarding me?" McGrady suddenly became serious.
"Come on, I won't give you a cell phone." This is what it should be.
McGrady suddenly accelerated to dribble under her crotch at the top of the arc. Knowing that she felt bad, she was also ready to change her strategy.
The breakthrough also attracted Gasol at the basket to come and make up for the defense at any time. Li Tian’s close defense did not give McGrady a chance to break through.
The continuous fake moves failed to get rid of Li Tian's defense.
Just as time was approaching and Li Tian thought McGrady would definitely force his attack, at this moment, McGrady directly passed the ball back to Alstom, who was standing near the three-point line.
Alstom accelerated directly, got rid of Lowry, who was following the defense, and made a jump shot.
Seeing Alstom hit a shot, he was tricked by McGrady. McGrady had no plans to make a layup at all, and he planned to pass the ball from the beginning.
"I'm too young and need to be trained. Yao, don't you?" McGrady looked at Yao Ming.
Li Tian stared at McGrady with his eyes fixed on him.
"Lorry, we're going to call back." He hit Lowry beside him with his shoulder.
"bring it on."
Lowry held the ball, Bathir defended Li Tian head-on, and McGrady was not far from Li Tian, and he could make up for defense at any time.
When trying to break through Alstom head-on, Lowry has never been known for his speed and is a power player.
Li Tian stepped forward and blocked Alstom. Lowry passed Alstom. Milicic failed to block Yao Ming at the basket.
He could only pass it back to Li Tian, just about to catch the ball.
Just as the ball was about to fall into Li Tian's hand, McGrady rushed over and stole the pass directly.
Li Tian was confused, McGrady wanted to focus all her energy on defense.
Guy's 2 of 8 defenses was not good, so he made up for the defense.
