Chapter 1 Three-Point Shootout

Li Shihao can deeply feel Curry's feelings.

The NBA is not the same as the NCAA. In the college league, you usually play a maximum of four seasons. After you graduate from college, you will leave the NCAA stage.

But the NBA is a professional league. There are people here who have played for nearly 20 years. As long as you can play, as long as you have a team willing to accept you, you can continue to survive in this league.

For rookies like Li Shihao, their competitive pressure is too great, and they can feel the pressure of suffocation every day, which is not felt in the NCAA.

In the NCAA, they are all laughing and proud, and only in the last March Madness will they gather together to fight against each other.

But in the NBA, they have to face the basketball superstars accumulated in various periods in the United States.

The 96 Golden Generation, the 03 Platinum Generation, and other talented players from the draft period gathered together to fight for their own foothold.

Li Shihao and Stephen Curry are both rookies at the No. [-] position, and they are both in the highly competitive Western Conference. Naturally, they can deeply understand the suffocating pressure of the Western Conference.

The West is really full of strong players, there are too many outstanding players on the back line, and rookies like Li Shihao and Stephen Curry face too much competitive pressure.

The top eight strong teams in the Western Conference basically have good guards, and they can basically rank in the forefront of the league.

The Nuggets have Chauncey Billups, the Mavericks have Jason Kidd, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant, and the Suns have Steve Nash. Even the young Timberwolves this season, Li Shihao has averaged 20+5 per game. The entire league is the strength of first-line guards.

Li Shihao embarked on the road of leadership one step ahead of Stephen Curry. Although he led the Timberwolves on a rampage this season and embarked on the road to the playoffs, Li Shihao experienced more difficulties than Stephen Curry. The feeling is also deeper.

Leading the team forward as a team leader in the rookie season sounds gratifying, but the bitterness behind it is also huge, big enough to make these young people who are still very young feel miserable and confused.

However, Li Shihao and Stephen Curry are both people with firm beliefs, and there is a madness in their bones, and they will not give up lightly!

This meal was very enjoyable. After pouring out the grievances accumulated in his heart for more than half a season, Curry once again returned to that hippie smiling face, and his face was full of smiles again, leaving Li Shihao speechless.

Since there was still a game in the evening, neither of them had eaten too much, and seven or eight full was enough.At the dinner table, they were also self-disciplined players who did not drink alcohol. Li Shihao did not have the habit of drinking. Curry had a cute face and was often considered a minor, so naturally he would not have this habit.

After the two chatted at the dinner table, they went back to Auckland together.

It has to be said that Li Shihao and Curry are considered to be one of the players with a lot of money in this rookie class. Both Li Shihao and Curry were signed by the wealthy Adidas, and the amount of the contract is not small. Young rookies are extremely jealous.

As for the German's sneaker curse, Li Shihao and Curry are not too worried. Neither of them is the kind of player who relies on frequent breakthroughs to score offensively. Relying on a good shooting touch can still add scoring firepower to the team.

The injuries caused by those sneaker curses are not a big problem for them. On the contrary, Derrick Rose needs to be careful. He is a master who is good at breakthroughs.

The game was held as scheduled in the Oracle Arena in Oakland. Many Chinese fans came to the scene. Many of them came from Chinatown in San Francisco to watch their compatriots play.

The DJ at the scene obviously also knew about Li Shihao's Chinese identity, and also understood the friendship between Li Shihao and the team's rising star Stephen Curry. He did not make things difficult during the player introduction, but called Li Shihao out with a passionate voice.

It has to be said that the atmosphere at the scene was very warm. When Li Shihao first emerged from the player tunnel, he heard waves of cheers and shouts. Many fans wearing yellow Warriors jerseys are now Calling Li Shihao's name.

"Bruce!"

"Bruce!"

"Bruce!"

…………

Even many diehard Warriors fans at the scene were driven by the intense atmosphere and began to shout Li Shihao's name, and the entire Oracle Arena seemed to become Li Shihao's home court.

This stunned the players of the Warriors. Why did their own fans become fans of the New York Knicks and learn to rebel at home. This is Oakland. When did it become the home of the Chinese kid?

Perhaps it was because of the presence and support of many Chinese fans. Li Shihao's performance in this game was not bad, and he received the support of the "home" fans. Li Shihao was in a brave state and his scoring ability exploded. cognition.

After the opening, Stephen Curry made an open shot, pierced Yang with a hundred steps outside the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer. The basketball went into the net steadily and won the three-pointer for the Golden State Warriors.

Stephen Curry is obviously very confident in the three-pointer. After he scored, he glanced at Li Shihao, his eyes were full of provocation, and he almost said, come if you have the ability!

Seeing this scene, Li Shihao couldn't help laughing. Without hesitation, he decisively shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line, and a long-range three-pointer came. The ball went into the net as hollow as a basketball, tying the score 3-3.

This made Stephen Curry very surprised. He played against Li Shihao. Although Li Shihao had some ability in the three-pointer in the past, he was not outstanding. He rarely dared to shoot so confidently in the opening game. Tonight, I don’t know whether it is confidence or Not to be outdone?

Li Shihao did not let Curry down. He continued to shoot three-pointers, as if he and Curry had started a three-pointer.

Throughout the first half, Li Shihao took 6 shots and made four three-pointers, while Curry took seven shots and hit five three-pointers. The wonderful three-point duel between the two also made the Oracle Arena cheer Again and again.

Two rookie guards in 09 started a three-point shootout under their noses. This kind of score is simply a small-scale All-Star three-point contest. The fans who bought tickets tonight felt that the value of the tickets came back.

Although the Golden State Warriors' record this season was not outstanding and they were at the bottom of the league, they still bought tickets for tonight's game out of pocket.
