The world's best combo guard

Chapter 145 142 [Ankle Terminator]

There are consequences to doing anything, especially something that is of a gambling nature.

Cassell wants to draw a foul through a feint. If he succeeds, he will get a free throw opportunity. With his free throw level, he has a good chance of getting two points for the team.

But if he fails, he must bear the corresponding consequences. For example, at the moment when his body is out of balance, he can only watch the basketball slip from his palm.

Li Hao, who was facing him, took the opportunity to grab the basketball and quickly switched to a counterattack.

Li Hao quickly went down the left sideline with the ball, and directly and accurately found Devin George who had rushed to the basket.

"bang"

Devin George's dunk became the last thing Cassell wanted to see.

"YES! Lobby from Lee and Devon"

"It's unbelievable. What's really unbelievable is that Lee actually saw through Sam Cassell's fake moves. You know, post-up singles are Sam Cassell's signature."

"Haha, well, maybe we should understand that Li Hao's defense is not symbolic"

With Li Hao dunking Garnett before successfully defending Cassel with a steal and assisting Devon George to complete the dunk, the atmosphere of the entire Staples was completely ignited in an instant, and the entire arena was like a harbinger of a volcano that was about to erupt. , restless and fanatical.

Seeing that the entire team was going to be completely blown away by the Lakers No. 10, Timberwolves head coach Saunders couldn't sit still and immediately requested a timeout. He couldn't just watch this situation continue.

During the timeout, when Li Hao walked to the sidelines, he received the most enthusiastic cheers from the fans. Everyone knew that Li Hao was really the kind of guy who could step forward when the team needed it.

Phil Jackson walked over and patted Li Hao on the shoulder. To be honest, among all the Lakers players at this stage, Li Hao seemed the most reassuring to him.

Sometimes, Phil Jackson couldn't help expressing emotion. He swore that in his coaching career, he had dealt with various rookies, but it was the first time for such a special rookie like Li Hao .

Why is Li Hao special?
Because he's so unbelievable.

From the outbreak of the regular season to the present, has Li Hao ever been in a bad state?

Of course there are.

But at every critical moment, Li Hao was always able to adjust his state.

This is one of the most unbelievable things about Phil Jackson.

If Li Hao is already the kind of superstar standing at the top of the pyramid, Phil Jackson may not be too surprised that he has such an adjustment ability.

But you know, he's just a first-year rookie right now.

Phil Jackson is a little relieved. He sees infinite possibilities in Li Hao. From another perspective, if the failure of last season allows the team to get a rookie like Li Hao, perhaps from the perspective of the historical wheel, the Lakers are Not bad.

What do you mean?
In Phil Jackson's opinion, Li Hao is bound to become that kind of true superstar.

…………

The ok combination took enough time to rest, so when the timeout came back, Li Hao returned to the bench, and he had to take this opportunity to take a good rest.

The playoffs are different from the regular season, and saving energy is definitely the smartest way.

During the rise of the Timberwolves this season, there is actually another player that has to be mentioned, and that is "Madman" Sprewell.

The so-called "three-headed monster" combination of the Minnesota Timberwolves is actually Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell and Sprewell.

Of course, because Sprewell is relatively the least famous, he is usually the last thing people think of when they mention the Timberwolves triumvirate.

After all, the dude's nickname "Madman" does not mean how arrogant he is on the field, but more refers to his crazy behavior outside the field.

For example, the famous "throat lock" incident, such speeding during the suspension period, etc.

Of course, this guy can be the main core of the Knicks' "Black Eight", and his strength on the court is also very good.

Although he is 34 years old, Sprewell obviously still has the strength to take over the game under certain conditions. For example, in the first round of the playoffs in the battle against the Grizzlies at Tianwangshan, he scored 33 points alone to help the Timberwolves win. Win that game.

When Li Hao returned to the court in the third quarter, because of the Timberwolves' change, he faced Sprewell right away.

Sprewell's state in this game is not very good, maybe the first round of the playoffs is too exhausted, after all, the Grizzlies are not a bone to chew on.

Sanders also knew that he couldn't expect Sprewell to run around like those energetic young people. He just hoped that Sprewell could contain Li Hao on both offense and defense.

56: 51!

In the third quarter of the game, his team was not opened up too many points by the Lakers. With the Lakers' ok combination feeling average in this game, Sanders felt that they had a chance to take away the victory of the game.

Therefore, he hopes that Sprewell can contain the point where the Lakers are currently most active. This task is very difficult, but Sanders can only pin his hopes on Sprewell, because Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell needs to put more energy into the offense.

As a 34-year-old veteran, Sprewell's biggest shortcoming is physical strength and speed.

And this point is Li Hao's most advantageous point relatively speaking.

At 2 minutes and 27 seconds into the third quarter, Li Hao faced Sprewell with the ball.

At the top of the arc outside the three-point line, facing Sprewell's pressing defense, Li Hao roughly observed the positions of his teammates, and found that there were no chances to pass the ball, so he decided to play singles.

Facing Sprewell, Li Hao's whole body sank, he kept dribbling the ball back and forth with his left and right hands, and immediately moved his feet quickly. He knew very well what he needed to rely on to beat a veteran like Sprewell.

That is speed.

Li Hao's dribbling skills are top-notch, coupled with his unbelievable speed, the moment Li Hao started, Sprewell felt a lot of pressure.

Shake left, push, shake right, pull...

Li Hao made a dazzling set of movements in an instant. Sprewell had tried his best to keep up with Li Hao's advancing direction, but he still felt more and more difficult.

Another sway to the left, Sprewell rushed to the left with all his strength, he estimated that Li Hao would break through directly from the left this time.

But in the next second, Li Hao, whose whole body weight was on the left side, suddenly made a move that made Sprewell desperate. He actually insisted on pulling to the right side again with his excellent physical fitness.

Sprewell finally reached the limit. When he tried to keep up with Li Hao's footsteps again, he lost his center of gravity in an instant...

"My god! Li Huang has arrived in Sipu"

When Sprewell fell to the ground, Kenny Smith roared hysterically on the TNT commentary stage!
