Chapter 368: Timberwolves’ Linkage

In the first game of the regular season, the media outside were all noisy, but here in Dallas... Motta seemed a little angry because of the loss in the first game. As for Li Shengli's words against him, everyone thought that the Mavericks were already unstable. Something is going wrong.

However... Motta acted as if nothing had happened in the next few days and did whatever he was supposed to do. People had to be surprised by his determination. In fact, Motta also knew his own weight.

Than business level?

In the circle of head coaches, he is probably a second-rate player. As long as the team he coaches has an unexpected decline in overall record, and if he continues like this... everyone will go to coach Qian Sheng, but he will go for it. Go with Bishop Qianbai.

There is no doubt that his turnaround depends on the Mavericks!

Fortunately, the tight regular season schedule temporarily suppressed these conflicts, and the Mavericks' second game was at home, and the opponent turned out to be... the Minnesota Timberwolves!

Isn't this making trouble?

Li Shengli is really annoyed.

O'Neal left, and Mourning came back. Last season, I thought that old enemies like Ewing would come to attack, but what I didn't expect was...the first one to beat me was my own people.

…

November 8th.

The Timberwolves arrived in Dallas and were in the Mavericks locker room before the game.

Motta kept a low profile, said a few words casually, arranged the starting lineup, and gave time to the players. As for the few players who had problems in the last game...it's not that Motta didn't want to change, it was really no one to change for him.

Therefore, the Mavericks' starting lineup for the second game was the same as the previous game, with Li Shengli, Curry, Jones, Smith, and second pick Kidd, while Crotty returned to the bench.

"Lee, Motta seems to be a different person!" Before the game, Curry whispered to Li Shengli. Although Curry was not criticized in the last post-game meeting, Motta's outspoken words were still quite good. Annoying.

"Don't worry about it!" Li Shengli frowned and said, "Don't lose this game again. I really can't afford to lose. If I lose to the Magic and then to the Timberwolves, I have no place to put my face."

"It's not a big problem. The Magic are really good this season, but the Timberwolves are still a little bit behind!" Curry said casually, then turned to Kidd, who was sitting next to him, and spoke again, "Kidd, you are still starting this game. Just keep your mentality stable, we all believe in you!"

"I have no problem, but what I'm worried about now is Jones and Smith!" Kidd was a little helpless and even felt that this game was more difficult to play than the NCAA.

"Don't worry about this. We don't have much time. Let's fight first!" Li Shengli interrupted Kidd. "Let go of the fight after a while. You can pass to me and Curry. Don't be afraid of making mistakes!"

"OK!"

"This is your performance time, it's time for you to prove yourself!"

…

Both sides appear.

Mourning on the Timberwolves side seemed very excited. With O'Neal in front of him, he was bound to win this game, because at this moment, Li Shengli was at his weakest and most isolated. O'Neal made a special phone call before the game to remind him. The content of the call was as follows...

"Mo Ning, your opportunity has come, your opportunity has come to teach Li a lesson, hahahaha!"

"Neuropathy!"

"Listen, as long as you can hold on to Lee and let the Mavericks' offense go to other points, then you will win. None of his teammates can watch. To be honest, if I can't win this, I ...I look down on you!”

"Shaq, you are such a bastard! Hehehe, I have seen what you said a long time ago, just wait for me to take action today!"

"Hey, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Hey hey hey!"

These weird laughs really can't explain the excitement of the two brothers. I always feel that being able to hold down Li Shengli is the happiest thing besides winning the championship. And thinking of this... Mourning looked at Li Shengli and suddenly became distracted, There was an unknown smile on his lips.

Cool!

So cool!

Li, do you have today too?

I never thought it would fall into my hands!

…

Timberwolves starting lineup: center Alonzo Mourning, power forward Sean Lukes, small forward Donyel Marshall, point guard Doug West, shooting guard Isaiah Leder.

Midfield awaits the jump ball.

Mourning's mood has been high until now, and Li Shengli looked at this guy smiling from ear to ear, and he probably understood what happened.

"Brother, you laugh so annoyingly."

"Haha, you don't care about me, today is your unlucky day, just wait to die."

"Did Shaq tell you something?"

"Congratulations, you guessed it right. Shaq asked me to teach you a lesson."

"Damn it, you two bastards don't think about anything good all day long, and you just want to fuck me when you have nothing to do?"

"Don't worry about it, just let me have a good time today, haha!"

…

Are you talking about this?

The referee didn't bother to listen to the shortcomings of these two people, and threw the ball into the air after indicating that he was ready to jump. At this point, Mourning, who was 2.08 meters tall, didn't bother to fight and directly led the team to defend in the backcourt.

At this time, Kidd on the Mavericks side controlled the ball and pushed forward. Li Shengli, as the Mavericks' heavy firepower, made a fierce move inside, but the excited Mourning immediately stepped forward. Even though he is on the short side among NBA centers, he His only disadvantage is his height, and defense... This guy works too hard, and he fights too hard. He uses all his power to attack Li Shengli.

"You guys, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Li Shengli couldn't understand Mourning's excitement. He raised one hand and Kidd's pass was in place. He didn't even need to move his feet. After turning his back, he directly hit the top and turned over for a jump shot. , scored the first goal.

Oh shit!

What the hell is this? This guy is much stronger than before!

Mourning's defense just now was really useless. The strength he relied on was directly eliminated by Li Shengli, and Li Shengli's shot was not high enough for him to block the shot. It was basically impossible to hold down Li Shengli.

People are more likely to die than others!

As the three major cards of the 92 center in the new year!

Mourning knew that O'Neal's lethality under the basket could not be compared to that of O'Neal, but O'Neal also had his weaknesses...the attack distance was too short, but what about Li Shengli, who was on horseback? This bastard has no weaknesses!

Not to mention the flip under the basket, the shot distance is still a hair long, just the turn over jump shot just now, Li Shengli couldn't do it so smoothly in his rookie season, and now his single defense cannot pose much threat to him at all.

"Lucas, it's your turn!"

"Copy that, boss!"

"Help me keep an eye on the defense. As for the offense... I'll hold this guy, and you go and attack Smith alone!"

"Hehe, this is too simple."

…

Can't beat it?

Are you still not allowed to call me teammates?

If you don't accept it, why don't you send a signal?

Looking at Mavericks power forward Smith, the more Mourning thinks about it, the happier he gets!
