The world's best combo guard

Chapter 82 79 [Invitation]

With 19 points behind, Popovich took the lead in withdrawing the main force not long after the fourth quarter and announced that he would give up the game.

For Popovich, losing this game is no big deal, it's just an insignificant regular season, what really makes him a little depressed is the existence of Li Hao.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what kind of talent this Chinese defender has. As long as he is given time, he can play a very good or even phenomenal performance.

The current Chinese guard is not too scary, but it is conceivable that after a regular season of growth, what kind of existence this Chinese guard will sublimate into in the playoffs, that is the scariest.

Popovich is very clear that in this season's Western Conference Finals, the San Antonio Spurs' biggest opponent is still the Lakers, even if it seems that the Lakers have some difficulties even entering the playoffs.

The four giants and Phil Jackson are enough to give him a headache. Now there is a talented rookie. Although Popovich is confident, he has to face up to the gap in hard power.

Perhaps from now on, the Spurs have to start making some preparations for this Chinese defender. Popovich took a deep look at Li Hao.

Lakers bench, Li Hao did not play in the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson just asked him if he would like to play again, taking advantage of the heat to improve his scoring in a single game, but was rejected by Li Hao, he is not a data slave, think Just let things take their course, there is no need to score points.

For Li Hao's choice, Phil Jackson is very pleased. To be honest, he has seen too many talented rookies in his coaching career, but not many can really stand out in the end.

why?
Among them, there are not many people who are down-to-earth and neither arrogant nor impetuous.

It is rare for Li Hao to be able to withstand the temptation of such gorgeous statistics.

114: 101!

In the end, the Lakers, who were sitting at home, beat the NBA team in the Western Conference, ending their opponent's eight-game winning streak and also ending their own four-game losing streak.

The Lakers were able to unexpectedly win the Spurs, not because the Spurs did not play well in this game. On the contrary, the Spurs have already played very well in this game on the offensive end. The head star Tim Duncan made 19 shots In 14, he scored 33 points efficiently, and the other two in the GDP combination also scored 41 points in total.

The reason why the Spurs lost by a big margin was entirely because of Li Hao. Anyone who watched the game knew that they basically lost to one person, a first-year rookie.

Li Hao, whose name is destined to resound throughout the NBA after this game, became the youngest 20+ player in NBA history at the age of 27 years and 40 days. This record is enough to shock the past.

When the referee blew the end of the game, the entire Staples fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Players from both sides had a post-match handshake and greeting session. Not everyone would participate in this session, such as Li Hao, who has no acquaintances in the Spurs, so he got up and planned to leave directly.

But what he didn't expect was that Popovich, who had just finished greeting Phil Jackson, suddenly called his name.

"Lee, you were unbelievable tonight"

Popovich opened his arms towards Li Hao.

"Thank you, senior." Although a little surprised, Li Hao quickly walked over and hugged Popovich.

"Young man, being able to perform like this as a first-year rookie is enough to prove your talent. Keep going, this league will belong to you sooner or later." Popovich patted Li Hao on the shoulder hard.

Although he was helpless against Li Hao on the field tonight, it didn't mean that he hated this kid because he lost the game. On the contrary, he admired this kid quite a lot. So, as a senior, he felt that he had to do something for this kid. What does the child say? After all, everyone is working hard in this alliance, and they all hope that this alliance will get better and better.

"I will, I have always admired your coaching ability"

Li Hao and Popovich separated, but his heart is warm, and this alliance is often not just pure interests.

More than 200 reporters frantically filmed Li Hao, but Li Hao gave the only interview opportunity to ESPN, after all, ESPN is one of the best.

"Li, there is no doubt that you are the best player in the audience tonight. Can you talk about how you feel at the moment?" ESPN female reporter Audrey the blond beauty gave the microphone to Li Hao.

"It's great, you know it's not easy, the opponent is the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, I think I did a good job tonight, as for"

Before Li Hao could finish speaking, a chilling feeling came from his head. When he looked back, Fisher poured a glass of cold water on his head, and Fisher ran away laughing. .

Li Hao laughed helplessly, this is really fucking exciting.

"Yeah Yeah! Can you talk about how you communicate with your teammates? We saw that you often communicate with Kobe during the game." Audrey was also amused by Fisher's little sabotage.

"My teammates saw that I was in a hot state, so they chose to believe in me. They gave me the chance to shoot. I am very grateful to them. Yes, I often communicate with Kobe. Kobe told me to shoot with confidence."

When Li Hao returned to the locker room, he was teased by his teammates again. As soon as he entered the locker room, a bucket of cold water poured down his head, almost knocking Li Hao down.

"Li, I have to treat you, I can't just let you go." Rick Fox opened his mouth wide and yelled at Li Hao.

The other teammates were also laughing, and the locker room was full of joy.

"Lee, let's have dinner later, I will introduce a friend to you"

When Li Hao took a shower and changed his clothes and was about to leave, Kobe, dressed in casual clothes, stopped him.

"All right"

Li Hao is still very interested in Kobe's invitation. After all, this is the boss of the team. If you don't give him face, you don't give yourself face.

When Li Hao and Kobe drove away in their own cars one after the other, a nanny car followed and left at the same time.

And around the corner on the other side of the parking lot, two beautiful girls are sitting on a Porsche watching all this.

These two girls are none other than Ling Sixue and Jin Wan'er. Ling Sixue didn't want to secretly look at Li Hao in the parking lot, but Jin Wan'er insisted on doing this. Forcibly held back by Ling Sixue.

"Xue'er, you are too reserved. You have been in the United States for nothing these past few years. You are still Bai Fumei. You don't even have the courage. Let me tell you that after passing this village, there will be no such shop. With Li Hao's Excellent, there will be no shortage of suitors around you, when the time comes, someone else will get you first, just wait and cry." Jin Wan'er educated Ling Sixue with an old-fashioned attitude.

"Little girl, you're still talking about me," Ling Sixue slapped Jin Wan'er's forehead hard...
