Chris Paul didn't expect Li Yan to be so direct. He put away his smile and nodded: "I'm waiting. I hope your strength is worthy of your arrogance."
Li Yan said tit for tat: "This sentence is also given to you."
Round for the first grade team.
Li Yan held the ball past halftime, and Chris Paul stood in front of Li Yan.
Unlike Li Yan in the last round, Chris Paul was fully focused. He had already boasted, so he naturally had to keep his words.
To be honest, the matchup between Li Yan and Paul looks very funny, as the height difference between the two is too big.
This is not a standard matchup, but Paul has plenty of confidence.
He never fights unprepared. For today, he had studied Li Yan's game videos for a long time.
Paul knew that Li Yan's shooting was not good, and his offensive methods were mostly breakthroughs and behind-the-back hooks.
Although Li Yan's ball-handling skills are very good, his center of gravity is high, and it will be difficult to face a point guard like Paul.
Chris Paul stared at the basketball intently, feeling Li Yan's change of rhythm.
As a master of stealing, Paul has accurate judgment and quick start. No matter how fancy Li Yan's dribbling is, he is confident to complete the interception when Li Yan breaks through.
coming!
Li Yan's focus shifted forward. When basketball was on the rise, experience told Paul that Li Yan's next step was to make a breakthrough.
Innocent! Chris Paul snorted coldly, waiting for the moment when Li Yan started dribbling.
However, the basketball was not missing.
Paul suddenly felt a strong wind blowing above his head. Li Yan was still standing in front of him, but the basketball was gone.
"Boom!" Paul's response was the buzz of a basketball exploding into the basket and the laughter and applause of the audience.
Paul, who looked confused, only saw the scene clearly through slow-motion playback.
The moment Li Yan moved his center of gravity forward, he completed the pass over Paul's head, and his hand holding the ball almost scratched Paul's scalp.
Paul never thought of stopping Li Yan from passing the ball. In his opinion, Li Yan passing the ball meant surrendering; but he did not expect that Li Yan would make such a playful street ball move.
"Damn boy." The laughter from the fans on the sidelines made Paul furious.
"Do you only know how to pass the ball?" Paul mocked: "Speak harsh words and then escape from a direct confrontation with me."
"Chris, I find that the hardest part of your body is your mouth."
"you……"
When it comes to "trash talk", Li Yan, a former Internet key player, is several orders of magnitude better than Paul. Talking to Li Yan is just asking for trouble.
Paul's ball-handling skills are very skilled, but when Li Yan concentrates, he can't take advantage.
However, when the first-grade team was playing alone, Paul and Deron worked together.
This makes Li Yan very helpless. He has no problem guarding one, but if he defends two, he will need teammates.
But the current first-grade team is in disarray, young people are competitive, and even the same team is not monolithic.
After Roy got the ball, he didn't consider Li Yan at all, he just did it.
Roy has always been the most outstanding rookie. Before Li Yan came out, he was leading the list of best rookies.
But now, public opinion unanimously believes that Li Yan will come from behind to complete the lead.
Roy held his breath and frantically showed off his scoring skills.
However, his opponent, Deron Williams, was angry. He didn't know why the rookie kept scoring on his head.
He had no defense at all, but this rookie rushed over again and again for no reason.
Deron Williams blocked Roy on the next defensive possession and knocked Roy out of the air.
Then on the offensive end, he used his strong body to carry Roy and hit a layup.
Deron Williams shook his arm and challenged Roy: "Don't take yourself too seriously. I'm here to deal with Li Yan today. I don't want to waste energy on you at all."
Roy is a man with a strong ego, and Deron Williams' words simply add salt to his wounds.
Roy had no beef with Li Yan, he was just not convinced why Li Yan was favored by the media.
But this damn fat man in front of him actually looked down upon himself so much, which was unbearable.
Next round.
Facing Deron Williams, Roy easily changed directions to open up space, and then made a cool pull-up to complete the score.
Roy said contemptuously to Delong: "Little fat man, I don't even have eyes for you. To be honest, Li Yan is a hundred times better than you."
"You are riding a horse..." Delong suddenly became angry: "Li Yan is a thousand times stronger than you."
Li Yan on the side: Damn it, am I that strong?
After all, they are all young players. As long as they have the desire to win, the intensity of the game will inevitably increase.
Delong and Roy were at loggerheads, so naturally he no longer had time to deal with Li Yan with Paul.
Paul's various small moves were simply too slow in front of Li Yan, who had mastered the "Five Lightning Whips". Li Yan immediately struck with heavy punches, giving Paul enough confrontation on both offense and defense.
Both offense and defense were suppressed, and Paul could only call Deron for help.
But Deron, who was having a real man duel with Roy, naturally couldn't care about Paul.
Paul looked at Deron Williams above and persuaded him: "Don't go up there. Didn't we agree to deal with Li Yan? What else is more important than this?"
"Fake!" Deron Williams said through gritted teeth: "I hate it when people say I'm fat!"
