2 Chapter Fifty

The offense and defense were switched, the ball was changed to the Timberwolves, and Li Shihao attacked with the ball.

At this time, Love and the others are very considerate and distanced themselves, leaving room for Li Shihao to attack.

At this time, Li Shihao had to score a goal to prove himself, no matter from the tactical level or his personal face.

Steve Nash is the top point guard in the league and has been famous for a long time. If Li Shihao can rely on his personal ability to score a goal in front of Steve Nash and respond to the goal of Nash and Stoudemire just now, it will undoubtedly be very good. The earth boosts morale.

Li Shihao did not refuse this kindness, he knew very well that when it was time to come by himself, he had to come by himself, and he was absolutely not hypocritical about this.

At this moment, the defensive player in front of him became Dragic. This kid was a rookie selected by the Suns in 08. He entered the league a year earlier than Li Shihao. Although he was a second-round rookie, he was a Very aggressive point guard.

Dragic is regarded as the successor of Steve Nash by the management of the Phoenix Suns. They originally just wanted to find a suitable substitute for the core Nash in the draft to share Nash's playing time. The son of Nash is no longer at his peak, and his physical strength and state have begun to decline significantly. For the Phoenix people, it is natural to find a suitable point guard to take over the banner of Steve Nash.

Everyone understands the importance of a point guard to the team. An excellent point guard can connect the team together and blend them into a whole without obvious flaws.

This is the most amazing thing about point guards.

This is the same as leading troops to fight in ancient times. Excellent commanders can always manage well, integrate resources and troops in their hands, and maximize their effects.

Dragic's ability to attack the basket is very good. He can always find gaps on the court. He is a left-handed guard. This habit makes his shots weirder and more difficult to guard than ordinary guards.

Dragic is not quite like Steve Nash. He is a point guard whose first goal is to score. Maybe it is the status of a second-round pick that makes him more eager to play his worth. This excellent point guard from Yugoslavia is the first choice It will be its own attack.

However, the Phoenix Suns do need players like Dragic. It is enough to have Steve Nash in the team, and there is no need to train a point guard who controls the ball. Otherwise, the role of Steve Nash will be overlapped.

Tonight, Dragic and Steve Nash partnered in the backcourt, playing the position of shooting guard. His first task is to score and defend, and connecting the teams does not require him to put in too much energy.

Dragic is still somewhat similar to Nash. He is very good at playing pick-and-rolls, and the cooperation with Stoudemire is not bad at all. The level of tacit understanding sometimes rivals Steve Nash, which is extremely sharp.

In this game, Dragic was assigned to defend Lee Se-ho. The Yugoslavian’s defense was pretty good. He didn’t become a defensive black hole like Nash. Dragic’s athletic ability is not bad, and he is willing to work hard on the defensive end. It is also one of the reasons why he can stand out from the bench.

Li Shihao stared at Dragic's every move with his eyes, but at the same time, the movements in his hands did not stop. He controlled the rhythm of the dribble, dribbled the ball to the left and killed it.

Dragic didn't want to let Li Shihao in, he followed up, waving his long arms, interfering with Li Shihao's sight.

Li Shihao took a step back slightly and opened up a little distance, as if he wanted to take off and shoot.

Dragic really got the trick. He subconsciously thought that Li Shihao was going to shoot a jumper, but he didn't expect that Li Shihao quickly retracted the action in his hand. In half a breath, Li Shihao directly dribbled the ball and turned to the right, passing Dragic The defense, reached the paint area.

This time difference was pinched so well that it not only deceived Dragic's block, but also used this short period of time to directly find the opportunity to attack.

The Suns are empty at the basket and no one is guarding it. Seeing this, Stoudemire had no choice but to bite the bullet. His defensive ability is not good, but at this moment he is the one closest to the basket. He was able to cover the defense in a short time.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Shihao's mouth, he is waiting for you!

Li Shihao dribbled the ball like flying, and the moment he rushed to the basket, he saw the ruthlessness in Stoudemire's eyes out of the corner of his eye, and saw a big black hand block it.

A gust of wind swept through the air, with an astonishing momentum.

Li Shihao got short and turned around to avoid it. At the same time, he didn't stop his hands. When his body drifted past the basket, he shot lightly. The basketball was gently pushed out from his fingertips. The strength was just right, and it landed firmly on the basket. Bumped twice, and fell into the net.

The fans in the audience were excited and cheered when they saw the goal, and the referee on the sidelines immediately blew his whistle, not only counting the goal as valid, but also adding a foul to Stoudemire.

When Stoudemire saw the referee giving this penalty, his anger rose in his heart, and he was going to discuss with the referee. The foul action just now can be judged or not, and it happened to be stuck on the foul line. Stoudemire couldn't accept a foul.

How could he be caused 2+1 by a Chinese rookie kid?

What's more, before the game, he also vowed to the media that the Chinese kid would never dare to go into his basket, and he didn't expect to fall here directly.

The referee would not listen to Stoudemire's explanation. Seeing this big black man walking towards him, he immediately raised his eyebrows and nose, stuffed the law enforcement whistle into his mouth again, and prepared to give Stoudemire another shot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Steve Nash and Richardson immediately persuaded Stoudemire and swallowed the penalty that the referee was about to blow out.

Seeing this, the referee on duty walked away resentfully, muttering something in a low voice.

In the game, the authority of the referee is unquestionable. Stoudemire is not the top star of the Phoenix Suns. Why should he give you preferential treatment? If you call a foul, you have to continue!

Li Shihao has no objection to this penalty. This is Minnesota's home target center. It is normal to be taken care of by the home whistle. When they were at the American Airlines Center in Phoenix, they were tortured by the away whistle. Now they are back at home to change the situation. Enjoy the benefits of the home court, and I am willing to accept it.

After all, in the NBA, you can't resist such a home whistle. It has survived with the league for decades, and to a certain extent, it will become a major way for the league to influence the eastern and western teams. For anyone who plays in the league For players, you can't say no to it.
