Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but still held Taylor Swift's hand.
how to say? Tenderer than Iverson’s! Li Yan made an evaluation in his heart.
Taylor on the opposite side was a little disappointed. Although she felt her heart beating faster when she held Li Yan's big hand, she didn't have the refreshing feeling of soaring into the sky during the last game.
Do you have to shake hands during a game to feel that way?
Li Yan knew what Taylor was expecting. Well, looking at those watery eyes, Li Yan also wanted to satisfy her.
However, his physical strength is full now, and activating his skills would be a bit of a waste.
You should know that the ball control master (junior) has a limit on the number of times and can only activate it once a day.
Although the Timberwolves' strength is average, they are well prepared. Chinese people always like to have a backup plan when doing things, and Li Yan is the same.
"Well, if you really want to shake hands, you can do it during the game." Seeing that Taylor Swift had no intention of letting go, Li Yan reminded her.
"Ah!" Taylor then realized her gaffe. When she heard Li Yan's words, she was pleasantly surprised again: "Oh! Okay, I'll wait for you!"
…………
Li Yan returned to the court. Kenyon Martin walked up to Li Yan and said with a wicked smile: "Li, do you know that beauty well?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "We think we know each other!"
"I see that you have been holding hands for so long, it doesn't look like a normal relationship!" Kenyon Martin joked: "It's okay, you are in love with me, it's normal."
"No, I love basketball!" Li Yan said and continued to warm up.
"Ding! The mission is now released: block Kevin Garnett twice during the game, and you will get Kevin Garnett's exclusive skills."
The system's voice suddenly appeared in Li Yan's mind.
"Damn!" Li Yan cursed in his heart: "System, you scared me again."
The system explained: "Host, don't blame me. You didn't call me before, but the competition is about to start, and the task still needs to be released."
Li Yan: "Well, I wrongly blamed you. System, can you tell me what skill Garnett has?"
System: "No!"
Li Yan: "You are really decisive and don't hesitate."
System: "Thank you for the compliment!"
Li Yan: "(⊙O⊙)..."
No matter what, if you have skills, you will definitely make money without losing money.
What skills can "Wolf King" Garnett have?
If you can make a "iron-blooded jump shot", it will be a big improvement for you.
By the way, why is it the task of blocking shots again? The system should be renamed. The "God of Blocking" system is quite appropriate.
After the warm-up, Li Yan returned to the locker room to wait for the appearance ceremony.
This is Li Yan's first start in the NBA.
When the DJ at the scene read Li Yan's name, the Pepsi Center gave out warm cheers.
It can be seen that Li Yan is still quite popular now.
Li Yan trotted to the court and observed the Timberwolves players.
"Wolf King" Garnett was so black that he closed his eyes tightly and muttered something. Good guy, he looked very "iron-blooded" at first glance.
I have to say that sometimes image building is important.
Kevin Garnett, a lanky big man whose offensive methods mainly focus on jump shots, became the representative of a tough guy because of his domineering action of beating his chest and roaring after hitting the mid-range shot.
If we talk about defense, Garnett is still very tough, but his offensive toughness is just an impression.
In fact, most of Garnett's offense is based on mid-to-long distance fadeaway jumpers and back-up turnaround jumpers, and his offensive power at the basket is minimal.
The game is about to begin.
Starting lineups for both sides:
Nuggets: Li Yan, Allen Iverson, Linas Kleiza, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby;
Timberwolves: Mike James, Randy Foye, Ricky Davis, Kevin Garnett, Mark Blount.
The referee whistle blows.
Camby and Garnett jump ball in the middle circle.
Marcus Camby was the second pick of the 1996 golden generation, so he certainly still had talent.
It has been rumored in the NBA that the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick are bound to have success. Iverson, the "answer" for the No. 1 pick, has no hope, and Camby, the "No. 2 pick", has not reached the expected heights.
Camby is a slender big man with long arms and good bounce. He has excellent shot-blocking ability and can protect the basket and rebound. He is an excellent defender of the penalty area in the league.
He handles the ball well for a player of the same height and is great at passing the ball from the high post, but is clumsy in outside shooting, has poor finishing ability, and is often injured.
It can be seen that Camby and Garnett have many similarities. They can be called a weakened version of Garnett without a basketball.
The referee blew the whistle and a jump ball determined the winner. Garnett defeated Camby.
Mike James advanced with the ball. As soon as he came to the frontcourt, Li Yan went up to press for him.
Mike James is not fast, and after a quick operation, he could not get rid of Li Yan's defense.
Garnett got stuck in the high post and reached for the ball. Mike James quickly passed the ball over.
The pass was a little high, but not a big problem for a man who is said to be able to touch the top edge of the backboard.
Garnett jumped slightly, stretched his long arms, and took the basketball into his arms.
Garnett carried Kenyon Martin with his back, swayed from side to side, and showed off a wave of shoulder fakes.
Then he suddenly took off, turned around and shot a jumper.
Garnett's jump shot is matched with his long arms, the release point is ridiculously high, and it also has a little fade.
Even for a guy like Kenyon Martin, there is nothing he can do against Garnett.
The basketball drew a rainbow in the air, and "Wha!" hit the net hollowly.
Garnett opened the scoring for the Timberwolves.
"Oh! Garnett's jump shot is still as accurate as ever."
In the studio, Yu Jia and Director Zhang worked together to explain.
Since Li Yan performed well for two consecutive games, the Nuggets game was immediately mentioned. There is no way the audience likes to watch it, but Yang Ma still understands public opinion.
Nuggets round.
Li Yan holds the ball from the backcourt. With his performance in the previous game, his teammates are very confident about Li Yan.
Mike James is at a disadvantage in terms of his size in front of Li Yan. If Li Yan is proficient in ball-handling and attacking skills, he can always play in misplaced singles.
It's just that Li Yan's shooting is not very sure now. Mike James has obviously studied Li Yan. He kept a little distance and focused on preventing Li Yan's breakthrough.
Li Yan did not force the ball forward, but called Kenyon Martin to step forward to cover.
After completing the pick-and-roll, Li Yan passed the ball to Martin.
At the beginning of the game, Li Yan did not activate the skill "Cake Master".
The result is that Kenyon Martin was blocked by Garnett.
Garnett's lateral movement was too fast, and he instantly completed the defense and blocked the shot.
The basketball flew directly out of the baseline.
"ah!"
After "Wolf King" Garnett landed, he beat his chest and roared.
The Wolf King roars and asks if you are iron-blooded or not?
At this time, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Li Yan's mind.
"Ding! The host witnessed the famous NBA scene, the roar of the "Wolf King", triggering a hidden mission:
After completing the block on "Wolf King" Garnett, beat his chest and roar at Garnett for a chance to get extra attribute points! "
Li Yan: Uh (⊙O⊙)…
