Chapter 53: Can You Appear? (Ask for Tickets)

In addition to the shrinkage of mission rewards, what really made Li Tuanjie dissatisfied was the mission failure punishment......

The nature of this mission failure penalty should be the same as the punishment Bennett suffered for leaking information in the first place!

According to Bennett, punishments other than erasure do not damage the host's body, but can cause indelible damage to the host's spirit......

At the beginning, Bennett was punished by the host for wetting his pants in public, and he was embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house......

And if Li Tuanjie fails the mission this time, the end is estimated to be worse than Bennett, and the system is very likely to make Li Tuanjie do some crazy things in front of tens of thousands of people in the stadium......

For example, peeing pants, such as running naked, such as dancing elephant dance......

"Well, if the mission fails, should I just kill myself on the spot...... Save yourself so embarrassed that you don't have the courage to live......" Li Tuanjie thought with a wry smile.

……

Just when Li Tuanjie was thinking about it, the game on the court had already begun to fight.

The starting lineup of the Rockets, center Yao Ming, power forward Hayes, small forward Battier, scoring guard Maddy, point guard Alston!

Some people may wonder, isn't Maddie a small forward? How do you get on a point guard?!

In fact, Maddie is a typical swing man, and it is impossible to say whether he is a forward or a defender......

The starting lineup of the Rockets released two players who were very good defensively, namely Hayes and Battier, for the obvious purpose, that is, to limit the offensive rhythm of the Mavericks!

The Mavericks' offense ranked first in the league last season, and once the Mavericks open up the situation, it will be difficult for the Rockets to pull it back.

Although this is only a preseason game and does not count towards the regular season record, no one wants to lose if they can win, and if the Rockets can win against the Mavericks, it can also play a certain role in improving their morale!

The two sides played back and forth, and several stars on the field showed their skills, which made the fans on the scene very enjoyable.

Yao Ming, Maddy, and Nowitzki are all proper Hall of Fame level players, and such a game is undoubtedly full of highlights!

Even Li Tuanjie watched it on the bench, and the strong personal ability of the top star made Li Tuanjie extremely envious!

At the end of the half-quarter, the Mavericks led by three points, and the two sides played inextricably and were almost tied.

If the two cores of the Rockets, namely Yao Ming and Maddy, can stay healthy, the Rockets' record in recent years will definitely not be so bad as the first round, and even the playoffs last season could not be made.

Yao Ming almost beat Dampier in the first six minutes, hitting four of his five shots, whether it was scoring or rebounding, all of them were Dampier.

may be because Dampier said that he was the second center in the league and ignored Yao Ming, so every time Yao Ming caught Dampier, he played extremely hard......

Yao Ming's current status in the NBA league, as Shark O'Neal gradually ages, really has the feeling of sitting on the league's No. 1 center......

Although Howard is definitely better than Yao Ming in terms of personal data, he can't stand Howard's ability to be beaten every time he meets Yao Ming......

……

The only weakness of the Rockets' starting lineup is probably the numerical guard Alstom, which is an ancestor-level figure in the neural knife world......

Although Alstom's performance in the NBA is really not very good, his status in the street ball world is like Jordan's status in the NBA!

"The Emperor of New York Streetball", "The Only Street Ball Player in History to Own a Sneaker Contract", "Possession Supremacy", all these titles all highlight Alstom's top status in the streetball world.

In this half of the game, Alstom's performance was a little bad, and he even threw a three-point shot that made the fans boo......

If it weren't for Yao Ming and Maddy's excellent play, the Rockets would now be more than just three points behind the Mavericks.

……

Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy called a long timeout, and it looks like he's going to reframe his tactics against the Mavericks.

……

"Good play, guys, this offseason training has not been wasted, and in the next game, Devin Harris will pay attention to his defense and not give Maddie too many opportunities to go to the free throw line......" Mavericks head coach Johnson first praised the performance of the starters on the courtline on the sidelines, and then pointed out some shortcomings.

Devin Harris is a player who entered the NBA in '04, and he is in a similar situation to Lee Tuanjie, who was drafted by the Washington Wizards and then immediately traded to the Mavericks!

This is the third season of his career and the first season of starting, and there is certainly a big gap in terms of experience compared to the old players, when defending Maddie, he made some mistakes that should not be made, and was fouled twice by Maddie.

"Well, we still have a few preseason games to run, and I'm sure when the regular season officially starts, we'll be the best team in the league!"

"Next, Dirk, Dampier, Harris, the three of you should rest for a while!" Johnson took three of the starting line-up, and it was clear that he was going to be on the bench!

As soon as he heard this, Li Tuanjie's heart instantly rose to his throat, Nowitzki went off the break after playing half a quarter? Doesn't that mean you have a chance to appear?!

"Jerry, you can take Harris's place and play for a while, find out how it feels like the game!" Johnson began to arrange substitutes.

The one who is called Jerry is none other than Jerry Starkerhouse.

There are many stories about this All-Star, as a 95-year-old scout, Stackhouse was selected to the All-Star team twice, and there are many career highlights, but his reputation is completely disproportionate to his strength.

With a career of 12 years and four teams in his career, it's hard to imagine an All-Star-caliber player going to be on the road at the peak of his career......

The main reason for this situation is his personality, which is a thorn, threatening the team to ask for a lot of playing time, asking for shots, asking teammates to create offensive opportunities for him, which is still secondary, and the most famous deed of his career was when he was with the Philadelphia 76ers, because he fought with Allen Iverson for the right to fire, and was traded by Philadelphia to the Detroit Pistons......

Throughout Starkerhouse's ten-year career before coming to the Mavericks, he couldn't shake off the two labels of cancer and selfishness......
