The world's best combo guard

Chapter 49 48 [Double Penny]

"Phil, outside of the triangle, Lee looks good, and you know I didn't have as much faith in this kid as you did at first, but honestly, I'm changing my mind"

On the Lakers bench, offensive coach Judy Brucher watched Li Hao and said to Phil Jackson.

"Judy, what made you change so quickly? Was he playing well in the two rounds just now? Or was he working hard in the usual training?" Phil Jackson cast a glance at Li Hao and said casually.

"Man, it turns out that you also noticed that Li is a very hard-working kid." Blucher looked at Phil Jackson in surprise.

"So what? It's useless to work hard to get ahead in the NBA? After all, basketball is a talent sport."

Blucher was a little disappointed. He heard a general idea from Phil Jackson's words, that is, he didn't care about Li Hao's hard work at all, or he thought Li Hao had no more outstanding talent.

Brucher shrugged helplessly. He seemed to be asking, you haven’t seen Li Hao play much, so you said he has no talent. Isn’t that nonsense? This is not advisable behavior for a teaching assistant, unless he wants to lose his job.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, the intensity of the game began to increase virtually.

The reason is very simple. After three quarters, the difference between the two sides has not widened, and both sides have a chance to win the game. For either side, if they have achieved the goal of running the lineup and can win the game, it will undoubtedly be satisfactory. In this case, both parties naturally have no reason to give up.

After Li Hao gradually felt that the intensity of the competition was increasing, the desire for confrontation hidden deep in his heart was also quickly mobilized. He likes challenges, even if the challenge fails, it doesn't matter.

At this time, the only thing Li Hao wants to pray is that Phil Jackson will not replace him, but let him stay on the court. He wants to feel the game that has been promoted to the real NBA level at this moment.

As for his physical strength, it's okay, he hasn't played for a long time, so he can fully adapt.

Phil Jackson did not replace Li Hao. In fact, he planned to replace Li Hao with Fisher, but was rejected by Fisher. Fisher's reason was simple. Li Hao played well, so he should let him He stayed on the field.

Phil Jackson was a little surprised by Fisher's performance. He didn't seem to be so kind in his impression, but he didn't refuse Fisher's kindness, but gave Li Hao a few words during the timeout.

"Lee, the game has come to this point. You should be able to feel the situation on the court changing. Your task is very simple, that is to give the ball to Devin (George) as much as possible and let him end the game."

Phil Jackson replaced Devin George as the starting small forward. Obviously, between Li Hao and Devin George, he chose to trust Devin George without any hesitation.

This made Li Hao, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, feel a little uncomfortable. It was just a preseason game, and this old guy didn't believe in himself.

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, Li Hao nodded superficially, then turned and walked towards the court. As for what he thought in his heart, who knows.

81: 78!

This is the score between the two sides after the regular timeout of the fourth quarter. The Lakers temporarily lead by 3 points, and they have the ball.

Li Hao started to advance with the ball. When he crossed the halfway line, Li Hao took a glance. The Suns were facing him with "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway, who was in the 1993 No. [-] show and was also a former superstar.

It's just that Penny is now in the later stages of his career, plagued by injuries, and has long lost his courage.

Of course, even so, Li Hao didn't feel relaxed at all. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, he was a figure who used to rule over one side. Li Hao seemed very cautious.

"Are you that Chinese defender? You have a great reputation, but in my opinion, that's just child's play"

Hardaway, who took the initiative to find Li Hao, even spat trash talk at Li Hao, which made Li Hao who was in control of the ball a little stunned. My good guy, is this the standard NBA star player greeting a rookie?

As for Hardaway saying that he knows himself, Li Hao is not surprised. Two days ago, the news about his high-profile counterattack to McCalm at the press conference was circulated throughout the league, and many people knew that it was not a big surprise.

"Penny? I'm sorry, you're old." Li Hao shook his head at Hardaway. On the one hand, this was a counterattack. In fact, it was also Li Hao's helplessness. He felt that he was too poor to say anything. A little technical trash talk.

The duel between Li Hao and Hardaway has attracted a lot of attention. Hardaway is a rare tall point guard in the NBA and a former superstar. Li Hao is also 197cm tall. Rookie, so everyone wants to see if the collision between these two will be a little different.

Facing Hardaway, who was taller and stronger than him, and was stimulated by Hardaway just now, Li Hao at this moment had already put the task entrusted to him by Phil Jackson to the sky. He planned to play this ball single.

The moment he decided to play singles, Li Hao realized that if he wanted to pass Hardaway, he had to use ball-handling skills and speed to complete it.

So he took a look at the positions of the players on both sides of the inside line, and then decided to rush in from the right side. Facing Hardaway's approaching body, Li Hao instantly pulled back and dribbled the ball, then leaned on Hardaway's right arm, holding the ball in his right hand, Accelerating suddenly, Hardaway flashed by quickly.

In the next second, the right hand was changed to the left hand, and the speed increased again. He swayed outside the baseline and cleverly avoided Sean Marion's dunk.

"boom"

When the sound of the dunk sounded, the entire arena erupted into violent cheers.

And Li Hao completed all this in less than 4 seconds from the beginning to the end.

The fans were applauding and cheering, and Li Hao was also accepting high-fives and bumping shoulders from his teammates to celebrate. Only Hardaway's face was not very good, and his mind was a little confused. He never expected Li Hao to have such a fast speed. Speed, and I didn't expect Li Hao's ball-handling skills to be so good.

Before that, he knew that the Lakers had a Chinese defender this season, but that was what he heard from the news in the league these two days.

Do you want to say that you know this Chinese defender?Hardaway was sure, he didn't understand at all, he didn't even know that Li Hao could not only play point guard, but also shoot guard.

Hardaway felt a little humiliated, and listening to the cheers of the Staples home fans, he found it even more difficult to accept.

"Boy, I'll find my way back"

Hardaway, who was holding the ball forward, swore inwardly.
