The world's best combo guard

Chapter 140 137 [Bad news outside the venue]

The Lakers won the second game of the series through a tactic that looks very different, which in the eyes of many people is already a signal.

What signal?
That is, this Lakers team may be really ready to hit the championship. Compared with last season, they looked a little weak, but now they are strong and strong.

Especially Li Hao, the best rookie in the new division, has continuously brought miracles to everyone this season.

"He seems like an all-around fighter, I think we're still underestimating him"

Someone commented on Li Hao like this.

Judging from the data alone, Li Hao in the playoffs is not as impressive as the regular season, but in fact, fans who have watched the playoffs know that Li Hao actually played a greater role in the playoffs.

Especially when Kobe puts the main task on the offensive end in the playoffs, Li Hao can fully assume the responsibility of being the core of the defensive end of the backcourt.

As the core of backcourt defense, Li Hao can not only do a good job in single defense, but also serve as the core hub of team defense.

The best defense is offense!

Although Phil Jackson defined Li Hao as a 3D player in this playoffs, in fact, Li Hao is far more dangerous on the offensive end than a 3D player. Sex to create space for teammates.

In other words, although Li Hao, who is 1 meters tall, cannot go from one to five, at least he is very comfortable in the rotation of the backcourt and striker.

And this kind of Li Hao is the most troublesome for opponents. If you play a team like the Lakers, you must first focus on the ok combination. Now with a player like Li Hao, maybe any team will be at a loss.

"In my opinion, Lee today is very similar to the former Scottie Pippen. Of course, here I only refer to the work he does on the court."

Oscar Robertson said so in a talk show.

After what Robertson said, if you think about it carefully, the two really have some similarities.

Pippen, the Bulls' second three-peat champion, is the kind of guy who is absolutely both offensive and defensive. Under normal circumstances, he will take the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of the team's defensive end and hand over the offensive end to Jordan. Because of his versatility, Opponents can't completely regard him as a defensive leader, because in this situation, Jordan often plays with ease on the offensive end.

If the ok combination is compared to Jordan + Rodman, then Li Hao is undoubtedly Scott Pippen, because he almost plays the same role as Scott Pippen.

Of course, unlike Scottie Pippen, many people are more optimistic about Li Hao's future, because his current potential, both offensively and defensively, is not comparable to that of Scottie Pippen who believed in the Lord this season.

In this case, even if the Lakers have not won the championship this season, many diehard Lakers are already imagining the birth of a new Zijin Dynasty.

The only premise is that they pray that Mitch Kupchak can perform a magical operation again and successfully keep Shaquille O'Neal this summer.

Kobe's contract expires in 2006, and Li Hao's rookie contract expires in 2007. If Shaquille O'Neal can successfully renew his contract with the Lakers, it will be at least a long-term contract of more than 4 years.

Kobe and O'Neal can get rid of the past, and Li Hao will grow further. In the next 3 to 5 years, there will be no team in the league that can threaten the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA will once again accept the rule of the Zijin Dynasty!

The Lakers diehards have a good idea, but in fact, it is not easy for Mitch Kupchak to do this.

Because just two days ago, the famous NBA reporter Wolfsky broke the news of a very interesting news.

That was O'Neal's agent, Perry Rodgers, having dinner with Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni in Phoenix.

This is very hot news.

Phoenix finally ushered in the hope of rising in the second half of this season after several hibernations. Although they failed to make the playoffs this season and even had a poor record, the team has many potential players and the team has With enough salary space, they can even eat two top-paid players at the same time.

As for the head coach, when Mike D'Antoni took office in the middle of this season, the bombardment he advocated was seamlessly connected with the small ball tactics that the Suns have insisted on in the past few years. Although he failed to lead the team to turn the tide in the end, many people can see that Phoenix next season is bound to be a strong rising force.

As we all know, Suns coach Mike D'Antoni has publicly expressed his appreciation for O'Neal more than once.

In this case, the dinner between Perry Rodgers and Mike D'Antoni can't help but make people think.

The Suns already have the best rookie Stoudemire in 2002. If O'Neal can join, plus the Suns still have the ability to take down a superstar, such as the rumored Steve Nash of the Dallas Mavericks during this period It is possible to leave the Mavericks after this season.

At that time, the Phoenix Suns may be another Sacramento Kings team. Under the leadership of Mike D'Antoni, they will create a wave of pleasing games throughout the league.

For Lakers fans who are used to being in high places, this is naturally the last thing they want to see.

"When we look at the Lakers' offense this time, Shaq is absolutely open, and he has already gestured to Kobe, but to be honest, we all saw that Kobe chose to go it alone, and finally missed the shot. Maybe people What should you think of?"

The house leaks and it rains all night!

Wolfsky's revelations have not yet been settled, and a Los Angeles magazine called Basketball World published a picture of the game where the Lakers played against the Trail Blazers on the headline of the magazine.

The purpose speaks for itself!

The ok combination is centrifugal and immoral, and the contradictions have reached the point of being irreconcilable.

Perhaps people know that the ultimate purpose of this magazine is to attract attention, but it cannot be denied that no one will really not be shaken by this. The news of the discord between the OK group has been rumored in the past two seasons.

The ok combination was discordant, and Shaquille O'Neal's agent talked with Suns coach Mike D'Antoni.

It seems that this summer, the duo that the Los Angeles Lakers once made the entire league covet are really going their separate ways.

For the Lakers, that will be a very big loss. Although O'Neal has not won three consecutive championships in the past two years, it is undeniable that he is still the well-deserved No. [-] center in the league.

It is hard for Lakers fans to imagine the level to which the strength of the Lakers will drop after losing their inside core.

They were still imagining the future just now, but now it seems that this future is not what they imagined. After all, the combination of Kobe + Li Hao is not as good as the combination of OK + Li Hao!
