The world's best combo guard

Chapter 50 49 [If you are not arrogant, you are still called a young man]

Coincidence or destiny?

When Hardaway held the ball and advanced through the half court, the Lakers defender who met him was Li Hao. Hardaway couldn't help but feel happy, and the opportunity for him to get back to the court was right in front of him.

Hardaway signaled to his teammates that he wanted to single-handedly fight Li Hao, and on the Lakers side, Devin George and the others did not take the initiative to step forward. On the one hand, they did not have much tacit understanding with Li Hao, on the other hand, they also wanted to see Let's take a look at Li Hao's power on the defensive end. After all, in the previous training match, Li Hao surprised them a lot on the defensive end.

Now Li Hao, although he has been training and playing with his teammates for less than a month, he has already gained the recognition and trust of his teammates through some aspects.

"Boy, this is the NBA, I have to let you understand what a real game is? Also, young people, don't be too arrogant"

Hardaway's endless trash talking kept floating in front of Li Hao, Li Hao chose to ignore it, he knew very well the purpose of Hardaway's trash talking.

Seeing that Li Hao was indifferent, Hardaway immediately straightened his face and started dribbling for opportunities to break through or layup.

Hardaway's speed is not particularly fast, but his combination of man and ball is very good. In addition, he also has excellent vision and a strong body.

Facing Li Hao, Hardaway chose physical contact without even thinking about it. He wanted to eat Li Hao raw. After all, in his opinion, Li Hao's physical confrontation is definitely not as good as him.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The special training in the past two months has improved Li Hao's physical fitness a lot, but that's all. It is impossible to withstand a higher intensity of physical confrontation in two months. Today's Hardaway Although he is 32 years old, his physical strength is still at its peak. It is unrealistic for Li Hao to want to compete with him.

After being instantly pushed up by Hardaway, Li Hao couldn't help taking a breath in his heart. He really couldn't bear it, so he could only be pushed back quickly. Of course, he was very smart, and he quickly turned from passive to backward. When it comes to taking the initiative to retreat, Hardaway is unaware of this.

The two of them retreated and advanced, almost entangled with a distance of more than one meter, which was already very close to the free throw line.

At this time, many people thought that Hardaway would continue to follow Li Hao, and then wait for an opportunity to pass Li Hao to complete the shot.

But Hardaway unexpectedly took a step back at that moment, and he planned to shoot immediately.

"Oh, Penny stepped back, he's about to shoot"

Hardaway's unexpected retreat made many people not expect it, but in fact, this does not include Li Hao. Regarding Hardaway's move, Li Hao is honestly on guard, thanks to his long-term defense Defensive habits and awareness formed through extreme efforts.

So, at the moment when Hardaway's mouth was raised and he took a step back to shoot, Li Hao, who was originally retreating, soared into the sky unbelievably quickly, and slapped the basketball that had just escaped from Hardaway's hands. down.

"God! Penny was capped and Lee gave Penny an oversized fondue"

The entire arena was completely boiled, and the noise even reached another peak.

"Pence, let me tell you, is it still a young man if he is not arrogant?"

After completing the cover, Li Hao didn't hide his emotions, but yelled at Hardaway directly.

At this moment, even Phil Jackson, who had been sitting on the bench before, couldn't help standing up. For the first time, Phil Jackson showed interest in Li Hao.

Compared to the fans enjoying the visual impact of Li Hao's blocking aesthetics just now, he saw another possibility from Li Hao. Li, the Chinese defender, may grow into a defensive champion.

Phil Jackson thinks this is too possible. He has seen excellent defensive awareness from Li Hao's defense just now, which is commendable.

"Larry, have time to talk to Lee, this kid has a lot of room for improvement on the defensive end." Phil Jackson turned around and found the team's defensive coach Cary Lewis.

On the court, Li Hao and his teammates had finished celebrating, but the Suns still had the ball because his block just now fanned the ball out of bounds.

At this time, Suns head coach Frank Johnson called a timeout. He was very dissatisfied with the offense and defense. The difference may be further widened.

Hardaway looked a little depressed at this time, and his eyes showed more unwillingness. He was the perimeter ruler in the 90s. He had a chance to go one step further and become the next Michael Jordan, but the damn injured soldier ruined everything. Now he has reached the late stage of his career, and now, in the contest with a Chinese rookie, he was completely defeated, "Are you still called a young man if you are not arrogant?" Hardaway's mind was circling what Li Hao said,
Is it because I am too weak?Or is that Chinese defender too strong?

When Li Hao walked to the bench, he just met Phil Jackson's eyes. He was a little ignorant, because the way he played just now completely violated Phil Jackson's previous instructions. This old guy will not scold him, right?

"Good job Lee, I think it's time for you to talk to Larry"

To Li Hao's surprise, Phil Jack didn't have any dissatisfaction, he just nodded at him and said.

"It seems that as long as you can score, you are king." Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. From this perspective, there is not much difference between the NBA and the CBA. He used to do this often in the CBA.

But Li Hao also knew very well that he had done it just now, if he hadn't done it, maybe there would be another kind of treatment waiting for him.

"Speak to Larry?"

Sitting on the bench, Li Hao recalled what Phil Jackson said just now. Soon, Li Hao understood what Phil Jackson meant. This guy wanted to train himself to be a defensive champion.

Although it sounds uncomfortable, Li Hao thinks there is nothing wrong with it. He is determined to become a superstar, and superstars are usually players with both offensive and defensive skills. If he can improve on the defensive end, it will definitely help him Getting more opportunities in the Lakers is very helpful for him to embark on the road to super giants.

"Director Sun, it seems that Ah Hao is in a very good state today. Up to now, he has scored 11 points, plus 3 assists and 1 block. Even if the game is over, this data is enough to prove Ah Hao's level."

Xu Jicheng said, waving his signature right hand in a circle.

"That's right, in the attack and defense just now, Ah Hao showed us his strength and proved to everyone why he deserves the No. 13 pick in the first round. But in fact, I want to say that this is the Ah Hao we are most familiar with. Hao, his way of playing is always rebellious. I thought he would restrain himself when he went to the NBA, but I didn’t expect him to be more aggressive, but this kind of Ah Hao will only make us like it more.”
