The world's best combo guard

Chapter 78 [75]

"We have to admit that Lee's coming off the bench has brought a lot of trouble to Popovich's team. He has already scored 9 points. For Lee's hot state on the offensive end, Popovich can only use veteran Horry. for targeted defense.”

When Horry replaced Ginobili, many people were surprised by this. There is no way, Li Hao is in such a good state. Regarding this, Phil Jackson did not realize that he originally let Li Hao play. Taking on the heavy responsibility of defense, but I didn't expect this guy to just open up the situation from the offensive end.

25: 19!

The Lakers lead by 6 points.

Staples erupted in applause when Horry appeared on the court, because Horry has been a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for the past six seasons, and he is also an important part of the Lakers' three-peat. So the fans haven't forgotten him, but now he steps into this arena as a Spurs player, and always feels a little uncomfortable.

Horry is famous for his three-pointers. To be honest, his power on the defensive end is declining. The reason why Popovich sent him to defend Li Hao is that Horry is at least more experienced than the young Ginobili. .

In this Spurs team, the best perimeter defender is naturally Bowen, but Bowen has his own mission. He has to keep an eye on Kobe all the time. Therefore, defending Li Hao can only be left to Horry.

From this perspective, Li Hao's sudden outburst disrupted Popovich's pre-match deployment.

Horry's appearance first helped the Spurs on the offensive end. The left corner received the inside Tim Duncan to score the ball, and then hit a three-pointer.

As for the defensive end, his restrictions on Li Hao are no better than Ginobili's, because just after he hit a three-pointer, Li Hao turned around and hit him back. three-pointer.

"Yes!"

When Li Hao hit a shot again, the entire arena was completely boiled because of him. For the Lakers fans, Li Hao's explosion was too timely, and unexpected surprises are always unbelievable.

Jessica Alba felt that she was more interested in this Chinese boy waving his arms on the court. Before that, she had never seen a Chinese guard who played in Staples.

Finally got it tonight.

Who said the Chinese are not suitable for the NBA?

Isn't this Chinese Li playing well?Even superstar style, Jessica Alba thought in her heart.

After the first quarter, the Lakers at home unexpectedly led the Spurs by 10 points, and everyone knew that the Chinese defender, the Chinese Li, caused this situation.

The substitute scored 15 points in a single quarter. People feel that if this game continues to develop tonight, it is really not certain who will win. As long as Li Hao is still in hot form, maybe the Lakers may be in the game. End the losing streak tonight.

"Lee, how do you feel?"

During the break between festivals, Phil Jackson came over and patted Li Hao on the shoulder and asked.

"Boss, I feel pretty good," Li Hao replied confidently.

"In this case, then you continue to play in the second quarter, remember, continue to maintain your rhythm, I will let Derek cooperate with you"

Li Hao was stunned. For the first time, he felt that Phil Jackson really trusted him and asked Fisher to cooperate with him?In other words, Kobe will rest after the game, and he will lead the team alone on the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, for the Spurs, Popovich chose to let Tony Parker return to the court. He wanted Parker to touch the Chinese defender, because both Ginobili and Horry proved that they could not stop Li Hao .

Tony Parker's defensive ability is also very average. The reason why he let Parker and Li Hao collide is that Popovich wants Parker to handle Li Hao on the offensive end. He is still very optimistic about Parker's offensive ability.

Compared with Ginobili, Li Hao has done more research on Tony Parker, because Parker has similarities with him in terms of speed. From the bottom of his heart, Li Hao wants to compete with Parker in terms of speed.

Therefore, after seeing Parker back on the court, Li Hao looked forward to the next game.

The Spurs were the first to attack. After Parker pushed the ball into the frontcourt, he did not attack by himself, but handed it over to Duncan. This was specially arranged by Popovich during the intermission.

Obviously, judging from the Lakers lineup in this game, Duncan is basically invincible inside. In this case, the team should not hesitate to hand the ball to Duncan inside, and it is impossible to head-on with the hot Lakers outside.

Duncan lived up to expectations. Facing Karl Malone, he easily completed the rebound and shot.

This trick is Duncan's signature, so Malone, who is in poor form tonight, has nothing to do about it.

Fortunately, for the Lakers, apart from Li Hao and Kobe tonight, Devin George also had a good touch. In the next round, he immediately responded to the Spurs with a mid-range shot.

At 2 minutes and 36 seconds into the second quarter, Li Hao and Parker finally went head-to-head.

Parker attacked with the ball, and Li Hao was in charge of defense.

Compared to Li Hao, Parker is shorter, but this also makes him more flexible than Li Hao. Both of them are fast, but in terms of explosive power alone, Li Hao is stronger than Parker.

To defend Parker, you must pay attention to his misplaced jumper and spinning top.

So Li Hao stuck to it very tightly, not giving Parker a chance to misplace and spin the top.

After a few quick dribbles, Parker brushed Li Hao's left side and dashed toward the basket. Li Hao held back his right hand, which was about to foul, and followed Parker to the basket.

Li Hao knows very well that he has an advantage in height, and his speed is not inferior to Parker, so as long as he follows Parker closely, he has a great chance to complete the block.

Sure enough, when Parker rushed to the basket with the ball for a layup, Li Hao flew up from behind Parker, and directly slapped the ball on the backboard.

"God, pegboard cap from China Lee"

Fight back!

When Brian Cook grabbed the rebound, he quickly passed the ball long distance to Li Hao who was going down fast.

Bang!
Li Hao dunked successfully!

One defense and one attack, Li Hao used his ability of both offense and defense to detonate the entire arena in an instant. The adrenaline hormones of the home fans continued to soar. Without giving up because of this, they are still full of energy and still eager to win.

Popovich stood on the sidelines, walking back and forth. He knew that this game was going to be troublesome. It might not be so easy to beat the Lakers. The Chinese defender was in such a hot state. In this state, no one could guard against him. Popovich had a hunch that even if he let Bowen play, it might not work.
