Chapter 56 - Hope of debut
And Li Jiejie’s first show got 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and it only took six minutes. This game is not over. Next, Li Jiejie must have the opportunity to enter the game. no problem!
For a player who was in the first round of the 14th overall pick in the draft year, Li Tuan’s performance is already very outstanding!
When the first quarter ended, relying on the outstanding performance of the Mavericks on the field, the Houston Rockets led by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady did not have any advantage. The score is still the Mavericks leading.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Tuan didn’t get a chance to play. Head coach Johnson put another team power forward Austin Croshill on the field.
There are currently three power forwards in the Mavericks lineup, namely Nowitzki, Li Tuanjie and this Austin-Crossier!
Obviously, Croshill is Li Tuanjie’s current biggest competitor, and the two will share the time for Nowitzki’s next break!
As for the strength of Crohir, Li Tuan did not really care about it. In general, in terms of experience, this 97-year veteran who entered the league is definitely richer than Li Tuan, but there is a big gap compared to Li Tuan in other respects. , Li Tuanjie is confident to beat Crohill in the competition and win more playing time!
This is Crohill’s first season with the Mavericks. Last season he was still playing for the Pacers!
Head coach Johnson sat on the side of the court with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood. He was able to select an excellent young man such as Li Tuanjie with only fourteenth pick in his draft year. It was a lucrative business.
Admittedly, Johnson doesn’t think where the upper limit of Li Unity can be, but the current Li Unity is very suitable for the Mavericks’ lineup. In the absence of Nowitzki, Li Unity can provide a lot of firepower support!
The cost-effectiveness of Li Tuanjie makes Johnson very satisfied!
……
The second quarter started, Crowhill and the Mavericks came off the bench, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were off the field!
Both sides of the lineup of half main force and half substitute, played back and forth, the score was anxious.
Only three minutes later, Van Gundy called a timeout again and put McGrady and Yao Ming back on the field!
“Damn, what the **** is Van Gundy! This is just a pre-season game, not the finals. Isn’t the star under his hands unsuccessful?!” Johnson is very annoyed. Generally speaking, the pre-season is used to run-in the lineup , Plus exercise a rookie, anyway, the result does not count into the official record, so the meaning of the two sides is over, very few teams will let their own star playing too long.
Can Van Gundy obviously does not care about these rules, he wants to win!
“Damn, we are also on the starting lineup, Van Gundy wants to win, we want to win even more!” Coach Johnson directly sent the Mavericks’ main starting lineup…
……
Li Tuanjie was sitting on the bench, a little disappointed. He originally thought it was only a preseason game, and he should not have committed a lot of effort, but he did not expect that Fan Gandi was so real.
Fan Gandy is really not important, Li Tuan can be miserable. If you fight at this rhythm, if the two sides get angry, then the situation will not be good!
Know that Li Tuan now has a mission, if the mission is completed, it’s okay to say, it doesn’t matter if he plays next!
But his task has not been completed yet. If the two sides are angry, the head coaches on both sides will use the main lineup to die, then he will not get the playing time, and the end will be very miserable…
The punishment for mission failure, let Li unite to shudder at the thought!
Now Li Tuan is only one shot away from completing the task and three points to double his score. If you are lucky, maybe only one shot is needed to solve the task!
……
This game gradually developed towards the scene that Li Tuan did not want to see. The two sides really got angry. Of course, this is mainly because the head coaches of both sides are angry.
Mavericks coach Johnson is angry that the Rockets ranked last in the Western Conference last season, did not even make the playoffs, and the Mavericks are the first in the Western Conference, such a strength gap, just play a preseason game, Van Gundy put on In a desperate posture…
So annoyed Johnson, did not give the Rockets a chance, the Mavericks main lineup has been staying on the court.
……
When the game is in the middle of the fourth quarter, Li Tuanjie still has no chance to enter the game. Nowitzki has been on the field for most of the next game except for the rest of the game in the second half of the first quarter.
The home fans at the scene were all very happy. The main reason why the pre-season fares are cheap is that the team’s main lineup generally does not play for a long time. UU reading www.uukanshu. At present, the Mavericks’ main force is almost full of the audience. Their fare is almost super value, almost comparable to the level of the playoffs.
Domestic fans shouted one by one, what about a good Chinese derby? Yao Ming has been playing for more than thirty minutes, and Li Unity’s playing time is only six minutes…
“Poor, it stands to reason that Li Tuan’s performance in the second half of the first quarter is very exciting, and it shouldn’t be the only time to play!”
“This is also something that can’t be done. Didn’t Van Gundy keep Yao Ming and McGrady on the field? The scores of the two sides have not been pulled apart, only a single-digit difference of 8 points. Once the Mavericks are on the bench, maybe Will be defeated by the opponent and win the game!”
“Anyway, judging from this game, although Li Tuan has not played a lot of time, but the future performance is still worthy of our expectations!”
Domestic fans have complained about Li Tuanjie. Most of the rookies in the pre-season stage can get a lot of appearance opportunities, but Li Tuanjie was unlucky and met Fan Gandi…
“Lying trough, don’t you really want to dance an elephant dance in front of tens of thousands of people in a while? Then my career hasn’t started, it’s almost the end…” Li Tuan looked at the remaining time of the game, Somewhat anxious!
If a team on both sides is exploded and the game enters garbage time, then Li Tuan still has a chance to appear, but the Rockets are only eight points behind. According to Van Gundy, he will never surrender…
And the Mavericks have the lead, surrender is even more impossible…
For a time, unless there is any chance to change, Li Tuanjie has lost his hope of debut!
It doesn’t matter if you can’t make it, it’s the punishment for not being able to complete the mission!
