The world's best combo guard

Chapter 77 74 [Popovich’s Discomfort]

He made a steady three-pointer with his first shot. Li Hao felt that his hands seemed to be pretty good tonight. However, on the way to retreat, he was very clear in his heart. Phil Jackson sent him to play, and he still hoped that he would be on defense. End can bring pressure to Ginobili.

On the defensive end, Li Hao met Ginobili as expected, staring at Ginobili who was looking for the next move in front of him, Li Hao's attention was very focused, and he was coordinated in both defensive positions and defensive actions It's very good.

This surprised Ginobili. To be honest, he had no impression of the yellow face in front of him before.

After all, when playing the Lakers, only Kobe deserves his attention in the backcourt position. Maybe Gary Payton has to be added this season, but it seems that this yellow face's ability on the defensive end is still good.

Tim Duncan on the left side of the penalty area asked for the ball, just in time, handed the ball to Tim, Ginobili thought so.

Ginobili dribbled the ball a little, ran to the left with the ball very quickly, and threw the ball to Tim Duncan casually. He had already planned to run without the ball after handing it over to Duncan, but he didn't Thinking of the next second, the basketball that had just escaped from his hands was abruptly snatched away by a figure that shot out between him and Tim Duncan.

"Kobe"

After Li Hao completed the steal, he quickly crossed the half court with the ball. At this time, Kobe on the other side was faster, and he had almost reached the basket without defense.

After hearing Li Hao's shout, Kobe jumped up high.

"Here comes the lob from Lee and Kobe"

"bang"

When the sound of Kobe completing the dunk resounded throughout the Staples Center, the home fans screamed very excitedly at this moment, and they were very willing to see this kind of violent aesthetics that made people dance.

Ginobili waved his fist a little angrily, he blamed himself for his careless pass just now.

Turkoglu made a mid-range shot and helped the Spurs get 2 points.

In order to save Kobe's physical strength, Li Hao was responsible for the backcourt possession and advancement during this period. After holding the ball and advancing to the frontcourt, Li Hao waved at Rick Fox, who quickly bypassed the Spurs player who was facing him, and went up. He made a pick-and-roll for Li Hao before, taking advantage of the small moment when Ginobili, who was in charge of defending him, was separated, Li Hao decisively opened his hand again and shot.

Although it wasn't an outside three-pointer this time, it was also a long-range mid-range shot.

"Swish"

When Li Hao made another shot, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich finally couldn't sit still. He couldn't bear Ginobili's performance for a while.

Since the yellow face came on the field, he has repeatedly succeeded in the matchup with Manu.

"Manu, are you a fucking piece of shit? Why don't you focus on your defensive positioning?"

Popovich spitting directly at Ginobili without a loud voice, for him, this is already commonplace.

Manu Ginobili was directly scolded by Popovich in front of so many people, so he naturally couldn't hold back his face, but he didn't dare to get angry at Popovich, but put all this on Li Hao .

So in the next second, Ginobili became angry, facing Li Hao with an unreasonable snake-like breakthrough, and completed a breakthrough layup. Ginobili, who completed the layup, clenched his right hand fiercely, as if venting his anger.

But then it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the yellow-faced Li Hao made another shot in front of him.

Li Hao knows that Ginobili has a very strong level on the offensive end, but he also knows that this long-haired Argentine is not so good at the defensive end.

Therefore, if there is a slight chance, he will decisively choose to shoot. As for whether he can hit it, he doesn't think so much.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, after Li Hao made a breakthrough layup again, Popovich finally began to ask the assistant coach Mike Budenholzer beside him about Li Hao's situation. Condition.

"Mike, what is the background of this yellow guard?"

"The No. 13 pick in the first round of this year comes from China, where basketball is relatively scarce, and Monk (Battelle), who left the team during the offseason, comes from a country. Regarding his situation, our international scout Simon once mentioned to us , Simon is very optimistic about this Lee, but you know we couldn’t have a good first-round pick at that time, but in the end, RC gave him a second-round guarantee through Lee’s agent,” Budenhall Ze carefully explained to Popovich.

"Munch's compatriot? Well, this kid looks very good, maybe he will adapt here better than Monk." Popovich thought of the big man with a simple and honest personality. To be honest, he thought the big man was good, but I didn't give him too many opportunities for many reasons, maybe I feel ashamed of him!

"The most notable feature of this Lee is his ability to dribble. According to the scout report sent back by Simon, this kid is even one of the best dribblers in this draft. Of course, his speed cannot be ignored. We all know that Otis of the Orlando Magic planned to select him with the 15th pick in the first round, but he was cut off by the old fox Mickey. Six teams, including the Houston Rockets guy Dawson"

"Mike, replace Manu. Although this kid is growing fast, he still has many flaws, especially on the defensive end. His ability needs to be improved more. Let Terry, an old fritter, deal with that Chinese defender." Popovich sighed slightly, he looked at Ginobili's figure with some love and regret and said.

He was selected by the team in 1999 and officially joined the team a year ago. He grew up rapidly and showed his talents on the road to winning the regular season last season. To be honest, I shouldn’t have stricter requirements for this kid, but look at Looking at Phil Jackson on the other side, he felt a little upset.

In the NBA, there is competition among players, but as the head coaches of each team, why not?
Why is Phil Jackson's life always so good, he can always coach the championship team.

Popovich feels that gdp is good enough, and this combination seems to have great potential. Even relying on this combination, he has the hope of completing three consecutive championships and creating a dynasty.

But to be honest, to achieve all this, in the West, at present, their biggest opponent is the Lakers led by Phil Jackson.

Needless to say, how terrifying the ok combination is. This summer, the Lakers management has dealt with Karl Malone and Gary Payton. In Popovich's view, as long as this F4 combination has a little chemical reaction, it is a perfect combination for him. Very strong opponent.

And now, that Chinese guard is also a Lakers player and is also playing for Phil Jackson. This makes him very unhappy, and even a little jealous, because in his opinion, this Chinese guard may become very good...
