The world's best combo guard

Chapter 47 46 [Topic Maker]

In Brucher's view, this is a big challenge for Li Hao. If this kid from China can survive, then he will have a bright future.

But to be honest, Brucher is not optimistic about Li Hao.

In the afternoon, Li Hao locked himself in the video room, and he watched those videos over and over again, watching how the Lakers led by the ok combination played the triangle offense during the previous three consecutive championships.

After watching, Li Hao frowned. He found that the actual situation in the video was not the case. Shaquille O'Neal was indeed the absolute executor of the triangle offense, but Kobe was not necessarily so.

Li Hao deliberately watched the first game of the 2000~2001 season finals, which was the game where the Lakers lost to the 76ers.

Li Hao found that, judging from that game, Allen Iverson's state was hot, but the Lakers' final loss was their own problem, especially Kobe. He seemed to be obsessed with singles throughout the game. Unwilling to hand over the ball, and unwilling to run without the ball.

This made Li Hao feel a little bit emotional, a super giant is a super giant, so what if you challenge the authority of your head coach?
Thinking about himself again, he was a little upset. Phil Jackson seemed to treat him well on the surface, but in fact, he didn't value himself at all. In the final analysis, he was still not strong enough.

At the same time, Li Hao was a little puzzled. Since Phil Jackson didn't value himself, why did he specially arrange for the coaching staff to give him special training?

Li Hao was a little confused.

"Forget it, take everything slowly. Since you want to learn the triangle offense, you must first learn how to play off the ball. During this time, I will try my best to play off the ball." Li Hao finally comforted himself like this. Besides, There was nothing he could do. When he insisted on coming to the Lakers, he actually considered the triangle offense, but at that time he didn't expect the triangle offense to be so complicated.

In this way, for the next two days, Li Hao continued to work hard to understand the triangle offense in the tactical training. Although he still looked at a loss, to the coaching staff, they were very satisfied with Li Hao's performance, because Li Hao's attitude At least no problem.

When the Lakers were preparing for the preseason, in the outside world, about Li Hao's response to McCalm in the press conference before, it was no surprise that it aroused heated discussions in the entire league.

From this point of view, Li Hao is already very powerful, because at least he is known by more people in the league now.

When everyone is talking about the Lakers, they can already remember that the Lakers have a young man from China, although this Chinese young man looks "somewhat arrogant".

"Sports Illustrated"'s Jack McCalm was deflated at the press conference, which made him very upset. The next day he talked freely on a talk show, directly saying that Li Hao is a guy who can only talk big. Dare to compare himself to Jordan, he appealed to everyone to wait and see, before long, Li Hao will be kicked out by the Lakers, and then rushed back to China in despair.

McComb's remarks were expected by many people, after all, this is an out-and-out "black man of the yellow race".

However, the "Los Angeles Times"'s strong support for Li Hao has left many people confused. As the mouthpiece of the Lakers, the "Los Angeles Times" has always been used to speaking out for the Lakers, but this does not mean that they will not criticize some of the Lakers' practices. Just like a year ago, they criticized Jerry Buss by name for being too cold-blooded, and even forced away the three-peat champion Jerry West.

And now they have actually maintained this Chinese guard who has not proven himself in the Lakers at all.

The "Los Angeles Times" defended Li Hao in this way. They directly opened an album report for Li Hao. The article described how Li Hao grew up from the Chinese Aoshen team step by step, and finally called on everyone to support Li Hao.

People don't know why the "Los Angeles Times" pays so much attention to a Chinese defender, but there is no doubt that the criticism and support from Jack McCalm of "Sports Illustrated" and the "Los Angeles Times" did cause a wave in the entire league. Hot discussion frenzy.

"Since I entered the league until now, I have been subjected to doubts and discrimination. I want to say to Ah Hao, you just need to be yourself and play hard."

Yao Ming, Li Hao's compatriot of the Houston Rockets, directly stood up to speak out amidst this heated discussion. Although Yao Ming's voice was a bit tactful, everyone knew that he was supporting Li Hao.

Yao Ming's voice has won the support of many people, especially the domestic fans. Everyone supports Yao Ming even more, because under such circumstances, Yao Ming can withstand the pressure of public opinion and support Li Hao. This is enough to show that Yao Ming is the current Chinese basketball player. The identity of No.1.

In addition to compatriot Yao Ming supporting Li Hao, some Lakers teammates also voiced their support for Li Hao. He is the best Derek Fisher with Li Hao at this stage.

During this time, Fisher often stayed in the training hall because he wanted to lose weight. Here, he saw Li Hao who worked very hard every day, so he wanted to make friends with Li Hao.

Fisher was the starting point guard of the Lakers in the past two seasons, and he is also a very talented player. Therefore, when Fisher took the initiative to show his affection, Li Hao naturally recognized the wink. In this way, the relationship between the two We talked more and became good friends.

Now when McCalm openly questioned Li Hao, Fisher couldn't bear it any longer. He faced the reporter and directly refuted McCalm.

"Jack he better keep his mouth shut, Lee is a great player, he's a good guy"

Fisher's angry rebuke made this wave of hot discussion more and more high. When the Espn columnist Bill Pelton, who had questioned Li Hao's draft prospects before the start of the draft, published an article supporting Jack McCalm between the lines. After the article, this wave reached its peak.

The protagonist of the two camps was confronted and debated by Li Hao. For Li Hao, this was something he never thought of before entering the NBA.

He thought that he would be questioned, and he was prepared to face it, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and there would be such a big force.

Fortunately, his team already has Song Yu, a media publicist.

Song Yu told Li Hao that the most important thing to do at this time is to ignore these doubts. As long as you always believe in yourself and your heart is strong enough, such doubts will be meaningless. On the contrary, it will bring him heat and attention. and popularity.

"Sister, you're still taller." Li Hao had no choice but to give Song Yu a thumbs up. He had to admit that there was indeed no fluctuation in his heart now.

One day later, after the preseason games kicked off one after another, the wave of heated discussions caused by Li Hao finally began to subside, and more people focused their attention on the preseason games...
