The world's best combo guard

Chapter 144 141 [Cassel's back singles]

Even if he completed the dunk by relying on Garnett, it is only a dunk according to common sense, and it should not cause too much sensation.

But in fact, not only did it cause a sensation, it should have caused a very big sensation.

Because until this moment, the fans suddenly woke up. The first impression Li Hao left on them was offense.

Maybe it's because since entering the playoffs, Li Hao has been focusing on the defensive end, which made everyone gradually forget about his offense.

But people should be clear that, compared to defense, what Li Hao in the regular season made everyone remember was his offense.

Especially during the low period of the Lakers, Li Hao officially announced his rise with one incredible offensive feast after another.

The unbelievable scenes of killing the King, the Christmas match against Biao Wade, etc., reappeared in the fans' minds with this dunk.

Looking at the actions of all the players on the Lakers bench, headed by the ok combination, who are waving towels and arms vigorously at the moment, it is enough to prove what Li Hao's dunk indicates.

This indicates that as long as the team needs it, as long as Li Hao is willing, he can immediately step forward and help the team on the offensive end.

Kevin Garnett and Li Hao knew each other. They were teammates during the All-Star Game, and they also endorsed the same sports drink together.

To be honest, the two have absolute mutual appreciation and respect. Kevin Garnett will not look down on Li Hao because he is a first-year rookie, and Li Hao will not get tired of Garnett's tough qualities.

But as far as Garnett is concerned, he absolutely does not want to be dunked by someone, let alone Li Hao.

After all, the tougher a player is, the stronger his self-esteem is.

Kobe is one, Allen Iverson in Philadelphia is one, and Garnett of the Timberwolves is also a typical representative.

"Olo, you fucking stay in the box"

Being dunked by Li Hao, Garnett instantly became angry, but he could not vent this anger on Li Hao, because he knew that Li Hao would not bear his venting.

Therefore, he yelled at his teammate Olo, because in his opinion, Olo was actually responsible for Li Hao's success in the ball just now. Olo's defensive choice just now was very unwise. He should go head-to-head with an old fritter like Karl Malone to get stuck, but use his frame protection ability to cover more of the basket. If he did this just now, Li Hao would not have many opportunities for dunks.

Olo was aggrieved by Garnett's yelling, because sometimes you can do what you want, for example, you don't want to go head-to-head with Karl Malone, but there is no way, if you don't do that, Karl Malone will Will catch and layup easily.

Olo tried to argue, but after another thought, he decided to forget it. Now Garnett has just won the regular season MVP. He is in the limelight and is the new favorite of Minnesota. Go against him at this time, unless Olo doesn’t want to stay in the Timberwolves. up.

Li Hao, who returned to the defense, just took all this into his eyes. Although he didn't hear what Garnett said to Olo, he knew that Garnett must have expressed dissatisfaction with his teammates because of his dunk just now.

Every team leader has his own way of leading the team. You can't judge a team leader's leadership ability because of a detail, just like you can't think that this guy is not a qualified leader because Garnett complains about his teammates.

In fact, the entire league knows that Kevin Garnett is a very good leader. His fighting spirit and passion on the court often change the temperament of the entire team in an instant.

Li Hao just felt that for ordinary NBA players like Olo, it was really not an easy task to stay in the NBA all the time.

The law of the jungle preys on the strong, and the NBA also has a strict biological chain.

And those players who can stay here for a long time may be the real superstars!

On the defensive end, Li Hao faced Sam Cassell, and Cassell's most feared offensive weapon was post-up singles.

Don't be fooled by his appearance, this guy actually has a very deep attainment in post-up singles.

Just give an example.

This guy once said that looking at the entire NBA history, among all guard players, except for Michael Jordan, he only recognizes his post-up singles ability.

Cassel can say these words blatantly, which is enough to prove his ability.

Cassell is very smart, with very solid basic skills, and is very good at using his body to create a good shooting space for mid-range post-up singles.

For this ball, Li Hao guessed from his movement with the ball that this guy didn't plan to pass the ball, and he planned to hit himself with this ball.

Li Hao immediately adjusted his defensive position and pulled in the distance with Cassel, because the first rule of defending post-up singles is to get as close as possible to the offensive player and not give him the opportunity to open up space.

On the right side of the paint area, when Li Hao entangled with Cassel, who was attacking the ball, he quickly attracted a lot of people's attention.

Everyone stared intently at the actions of these two men, wanting to see the result of the ball.

Li Hao studied Kassel before the game, so why didn't Kassel pay attention to Li Hao before the game?
After all, Li Hao in the series with the Trail Blazers seemed to be the core of the Lakers' defense. From the perspective of Cassel's preparations, he had to study Li Hao's defensive habits.

In Cassel's view, Li Hao's defense has a habit, that is, he found that Li Hao likes to cling to people, that is, defense with brown sugar.

Cowhide candy defense puts a lot of pressure on offensive players, but from another perspective, offensive players can also take advantage of this.

That's a foul!
So this ball, Cassel didn't think about hitting the shot directly. From the very beginning, he aimed at fouling, and he was very confident in his free throws.

When Li Hao stretched out his hands and rushed towards Kassel, Kassel immediately leaned sideways and took the initiative to lean on Li Hao, and then pushed forward two steps against Li Hao, then quickly turned around, and he was about to come out in a posture of opening his hands to shoot. .

Li Hao habitually planned to slap with his right hand, but in the next second, Li Hao quickly stopped the movement in his hand, because he suddenly realized that Kassel's movement was not like that kind of resolute shooting movement.

"No, this is a fake move"

Li Hao suddenly woke up, and the whole body that was rushing towards Cassel pulled back instantly. Thanks to Li Hao's physical flexibility is at a historical level, otherwise he might really be unable to hold back this defensive move.

It is definitely not easy to make fake moves so that it is difficult for people to see at once. For example, at this moment, Kassel's whole body seems to be about to be out of balance.

Seeing that Li Hao was not fooled, Cassel suddenly became nervous, because he couldn't hold on anymore, his body lost his balance, and the basketball in his hand slipped out the moment his body lost his balance.

On the other side, Li Hao's right hand quickly grabbed the basketball...
