The world's best combo guard

Chapter 199 196 [Battle Emperor]


Li Hao smiled subconsciously. As for the so-called ESPN columnist Perlman, maybe the day when the Western Conference Finals ended would be the darkest day in his life.

27 straight wins!

28 straight wins!

...

30 straight wins!

Which team can stop the 30-game winning streak of the Purple and Gold?
On December 12, BJ time, the Atlanta Hawks did it.

That's right, the Eagles, a big team, beat the Lakers in an upset that night. This result stunned everyone.

Maybe it's really not a polite saying that there are no underdogs in the NBA.

After losing the game, the Lakers shook their heads helplessly, but it didn't matter, for them, they couldn't afford to lose.

.........

December 12, BJ time, Cleveland, USA, Quicken Loans Arena, the home court of NBA team Cavaliers, the 14-2004 season Lakers and Cavaliers game will be staged immediately.

LeBron James has performed very well this season. To a certain extent, he is fulfilling the talent of the Chosen One. Perhaps apart from Li Hao, James is the best rookie in the 03 season. Even if his performance in the new season has reached a new level Dwyane Wade can't hold him down either.

Because the game attracted enough attention, people wanted to see how much sparks the two would have against each other.

As for the Lakers, Kobe's truce for this game gave Li Hao and James a stage for a head-to-head confrontation.

With more than an hour before the start of the game, from the outside of the Quicken Loans Arena, it seemed that a large number of fans from all over the world were pouring in.

To a certain extent, this is not surprising. The attractiveness of NBA focus games has never been doubted. Obviously, this game is a head-to-head confrontation between "Little Emperor" LeBron James and Lakers No. 10 Li Hao.

Of course, what is not strange will also be accompanied by some strange things, that is, among the frantically pouring crowd, there are many fans wearing the Lakers away jersey No. 10.

Perhaps at this time, people have to admit that Li Hao has already begun to conquer the whole of America, and even the whole world.

This game was originally the Cavaliers' home game, and there were very few away fans who came with the Lakers, but now because of Li Hao's relationship, the atmosphere of the Lakers fans has become much stronger.

And everyone should know that in such a focused game, any factor may become the most important factor in determining the final result of the game.

There are still 20 minutes before the start of the game, and the entire Quicken Loans Arena is already full of stands, and there are huge crowds of people.

…………

After 20 minutes, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Lamar Odom helped the Lakers get the ball in the first wave of offense in the jump ball.

The basketball then came to Li Hao's hands, and as Li Hao advanced with the ball, it was officially announced that the focus match had started.

Lamar Odom helped the visiting team Los Angeles Lakers get the first offensive ball of the game, and the Lakers advanced with the ball on the [-]th"

When Kobe is not on the court, the first wave of offense will obviously end with Li Hao, the absolute leader on the court.

Therefore, when Li Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he just passed the ball to Caron Butler, then asked for the ball from Caron Butler, and then faced James and directly shot a mid-range fadeaway jumper.

Without Kobe, the Lakers' strongest point of involvement, the Cavaliers naturally locked the most threatening point of the Lakers' outside line on Li Hao.

Therefore, they also directly let LeBron James be responsible for defending Li Hao, which shows what kind of defensive pressure Li Hao will face in this game.

After all, LeBron James' ability on the defensive end is also absolutely top-notch. This may be the reason why the 03 draft is recognized as the year of the draft. Whether it is Li Hao or Wade, as well as Chris Bosh and LeBron James, they are all that kind Both offensive and defensive players.

However, even so, Li Hao didn't hesitate to take the shot, and shot directly at James.

"brush"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and got into the basket under the incredible eyes of everyone.

"Haha, Lakers No. [-], facing LeBron, hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper, really calm and confident"

Immediately after the Cavaliers' offense, Cavaliers player Jeff McGinnis passed the ball to James immediately after holding the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. He is also a point guard. He is not as proactive as Li Hao. Shot privilege, it can be said that as long as James is there, the first shot privilege is almost out of his turn.

So, without saying anything, basketball soon came to James' hands.

Maybe it was because he didn't want Li Hao to be too tired, or maybe it was Rudy Norwich's tactics. Rudy Tom and Norwich didn't let Li Hao defend James at the beginning, but let Caron Butler defend. Ke Fisher makes up defense at any time.

Therefore, after James received a pass from Jeff McGinnis, the first thing he faced was Derek Fisher's full defense.

Derek Fisher is also a defensive champion with excellent athletic ability, there is no doubt about it, but when facing James, he also seems a little powerless.

No way, James' terrifying body and tank-style breakthroughs make it seem difficult to resist, let alone matchup.

Of course, as far as Derek Fisher is concerned, he will not shrink his head because of this. Even if he knows that he is invincible, he must go head-on.

The first attack is very important, at least in terms of morale, you can't lose, that is to say, the first attack must be completed, and it must be completed beautifully.

Facing Derek Fisher, James held the ball in both hands, and then took a tentative step. At the moment Fisher pounced, he suddenly stepped out with a right step, and immediately started, holding the ball to the basket in an instant.

"boom"

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, LeBron, the dunk is so good, it's really bloody"

That's right, James is James, the domineering little court emperor, who directly opened up the rhythm of the Cavaliers' game with a dunk.

While fighting again, Li Hao passed the ball to Lamar Odom, and Lamar Odom immediately hit Varejao with a post-up single, and the shooting touch looked very soft.

"Lamar also made a mid-range shot. Perhaps in such a critical game, the state of the core players on both sides will be revived under stimulating factors."

Immediately afterwards, McGinnis also hit a layup.

After the first 3 minutes of the battle, both sides shot very high, especially the Lakers. It is unbelievable that without Kobe, they will explode with such great energy and start the game directly. 5 consecutive hits.

Of course, if you think about it calmly, you won't be so surprised. The Lakers led by Li Hao's single-core team are also very strong.

That's right, whether it's Li Hao, Lamar Odom, or Caron Butler, whether it's a mid-range shot, a breakthrough, or an outside three-pointer, their performance is unbelievable.

On the Cavaliers side, under the leadership of James, they also performed very well.

So, 18:16!After the first 3 minutes, the Lakers led by 2 points.

Of course, it can also be seen from this score that the defensive strength of the two sides was not too great in the opening stage.

The high shooting percentage between the Cavaliers and the Lakers in the opening stage can be regarded as a visual enjoyment for the fans at the scene. After all, the battle against Biao is much better than that kind of boring game.

Soon, the first quarter of the game entered an official timeout. At this time, the score on the sidelines became 28:31
After experiencing a high shooting rate in the first 3 minutes, the shooting rates of both sides gradually dropped.

On the Cavaliers side, with James still unstoppable, they overtook the score and temporarily led the Lakers by 3 points.

During the timeout, the cameras on the scene also showed some special features.

For example, sitting on the Lakers bench, Kobe in a suit with a dull expression.

Another example is Li Hao's wife Ling Sixue who is in the VIP area.

After returning from the timeout, neither side made any personnel adjustments. The main reason was that the first few minutes of both sides' starting games were not too problematic.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers attacked first. After James advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt with the ball, he encountered Li Hao's defense for the first time.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time in this game that Li Hao took the initiative to face James on the defensive end, so at this moment, everyone's eyes widened to see what will happen in this wave of matchups.

"Give up, LeBron, you should understand that this is not a level contest at all, you have no chance against me"

Facing James, Li Hao spat out trash talking. He knew that James usually didn't like this on the court, but he still wanted to try.

"Wake up, boy, I am the real Chosen One"

What surprised Li Hao was that James actually responded to his trash talk. The content of the response is not important at this time, the important thing is the response.

"Really? LeBron, you know, from the moment I entered the league, it was destined that this league would not belong to you"

Li Hao continued to attack with trash talk, but this time, James ignored him and focused his attention on this attack.

Of course, as far as James is concerned, although he looks dismissive of Li Hao in front of him on the surface, in fact, in his heart, he still attaches great importance to Li Hao.

After all, Li Hao is already a superstar. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he can't deny that Li Hao is the best rookie in the 03 class and the best player in the 03 class so far.

Still throwing the ball with both hands, still taking a tentative step first, but Li Hao is not Fisher, so he was not fooled, and James also failed to make a breakthrough as a matter of course.

"Aww, coming from LeBron and the Lakers No. 10 head-to-head, this is absolutely blood-fueled"

The tentative step did not fool Li Hao, and James was not disappointed because of it, after all, it was in his imagination.If Li Hao was fooled by such a simple tentative step, then he really misjudged the person.

Since the road to breakthrough was not easy, James simply gave up. He decided to shoot on the spot. As for passing, to be honest, James really didn't want to do that in this wave of offense.

Shooting in place, inside the three-point line, to be honest, this is not James' best shooting position, but he can only shoot from this position at this time, because if he moves his position now, it will only happen twice.

He is not good at mid-range, but he still has to shoot, and facing Li Hao, who has excellent defensive ability, James chose to use his body without hesitation.

Immediately, without Li Hao not paying attention, James immediately held the ball and stuck it to his body, and then turned to the right side of his body holding the ball, and shot a jumper with an instant fallback.

Seeing James' shooting action, Li Hao's pupils suddenly dilated. This shot is really difficult to defend. The key is that James shot from a high position.

“Must try”

In an instant, Li Hao immediately took a step back, and then, his whole body rushed forward in the direction of James' shot.

"LeBron's fadeaway jumper, the Lakers' No. [-] is fully defending"

At this moment, everyone in the arena widened their eyes.

Li Hao felt that he was flying, and at a certain moment, the corner of his mouth cracked, because his brain nerves told him that his right index finger touched something, even though, at this time, the right index finger was still accompanied by pain.

"Oh, what happened? LeBron James' fadeaway jumper was blocked. Incredibly, the Lakers' No. [-] actually blocked LeBron head-on."

On the court, even though the basketball had already flown off the court at this time, Li Hao felt very happy, because this was the first time in his career that he blocked LeBron James, and it was a head-on block in such a critical game.

That's right, it was the first time to block a shot. Although the two played against each other twice in the regular season last season and had many matchups, in fact, Li Hao had never blocked James before.

"I said, with me here, this alliance is destined to have nothing to do with you"

At this time, Li Hao, who had completed the block, did not forget to make James uncomfortable.

James' face was expressionless at this time, and no one could tell whether he was angry or not, but what was certain was that Li Hao's block made him lose face.

"Boy, the game is far from over"

Putting down such a sentence coldly, James quickly threw himself into a new offense.

Although Li Hao blocked James, the basketball was thrown out of bounds by him, which meant that the ball still belonged to the Cavaliers.

Subsequently, McGinnis missed a breakthrough layup, Brian Cook grabbed the rebound, and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

After Brian Cook grabbed the rebound, he handed it to Li Hao immediately. After Li Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he encountered James' defense immediately.

This makes this wave of offense equally interesting.

"Boy, cast, cast with all your strength"

It seems that James was still affected by the ball just now, and at this time, he also took the initiative to talk trash to Li Hao.

To a certain extent, Li Hao is "successful", because in the entire league, there are really not many people who can make James take the initiative to talk trash.

Although the little emperor is young, like Li Hao, both of them belong to the kind of players who are very calm on the court.

"you will see"

Li Hao replied coldly, and then made a cryptic gesture towards Fisher, and immediately, Fisher rushed over and stood between Li Hao and James.

Li Hao asked Fisher to cover him. He was not stupid enough to fight James with his body.

The next second after Fisher stood in the middle, Li Hao immediately chose to shoot. Similarly, it was also a fadeaway jump shot...
