Chapter 1 The Attacking Chinese Kid
Tonight is the last game of the Timberwolves in February. After tonight, they can bid farewell to the tail of February.
March is coming, and the cold weather in Minnesota has improved recently, gradually getting warmer. Although compared with other cities in the United States, it is still unbearably cold, but for Li Shihao and his players who are resident in Minnesota, this is a great opportunity. It's really good news.
After the weather gets warmer, their hand feeling will also improve. Who would want to play with extremely cold hands endlessly? It's too slow to get up like that, and the warm-up time is simply not enough.
It’s really because he is not in charge and doesn’t know about Chai Migui. When Corey Brewer was absent, Li Shihao, who was alone in charge of the team’s perimeter defense, felt the "mountain" of the defensive pressure.
Without the help of Corey Brewer's shot defense ability, the Timberwolves' perimeter defense is like a colander, which is a good target for everyone to pinch.
If the defensive end can't find it, the offensive end needs to use more effort to make up for it, otherwise what awaits the Timberwolves is a regrettable failure.
In these few games without Corey Brewer, Li Shihao averaged 27 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals per game. back.It shouldn't be like this!
In order to belittle Li Shihao's ability to lead the team, the experts specially collected a lot of convincing data, which is extremely complicated. At the same time, it raised the value evaluation of the rest of the Timberwolves.
Especially Corey Brewer, if the Timberwolves management is willing to put Corey Brewer on the shelves in the summer, there are even teams in the league willing to exchange the 2010 first-round pick!
You must know that although Corey Brewer is also a first-round pick, Corey did not play his due strength. Instead, he became a blue-collar player who contributed more to the team on the defensive end. I can't do too much.
This also reduces his value to a certain extent!
But this season, under the incitement of the national media, and at the same time, a group of highly educated and socially influential experts are making trouble, Corey Brewer's value has been raised a lot, and the Timberwolves' management has won a lot of balls. The offer made by the team.
These are all under the pressure of general manager McHale's office work, and no decision has been made.
Timberwolves general manager McHale's idea is naturally to wait for the end of this season before trading Corey Brewer to maximize value.
However, Li Shihao's outstanding performance made these experts who had been dancing happily before unable to sit still. After Brewer's absence, Li Shihao's record did not suffer much decline. Although the efficiency value of the defensive end dropped a lot, but Li Shihao also has more ball possessions on the outside, his self-attack autonomy has been more developed, and his offensive firepower has been released more.
What the experts in the United States did not expect was that after Li Shihao's offensive firepower was fully released, he would be in such a terrifying state, even in a state of invincibility in the west.
What puzzles the experts is that the Chinese kid they have studied for a long time does not have any commendable killer features. On the offensive end, he does have many scoring methods, such as fadeaway jumpers, breakthrough layups, emergency stop jumpers, and step-back jumpers. , Three-pointers, Li Shihao dabbled in these more or less, but he didn't rise to the point of being very proficient.
Compared with Kobe's backwardness and Wade's breakthrough, Li Shihao seems to be inferior to Carmelo Anthony of the Nuggets.
As one of the superstars of the 03 Platinum Generation, Melon Anthony is also regarded as an offensive kaleidoscope player with rich and diverse scoring methods. Once the touch comes, he can use various methods to score goals on your head.
Melo Anthony used to be the favorite of LeBron James in his rookie season, and even had an advantage in the competition for the best rookie, but after a few seasons, Melo Anthony still did not get enough honors to prove his Strength, which actually made people's evaluation of Melon drop a lot.
At least as a scoring kaleidoscope recognized in the league, he must win the league scoring champion once. Even Wade, who is not outstanding in CIC, has won the scoring champion once, and Melo Anthony still has no scoring champion title. This is undoubtedly disappointing.
And the Chinese boy Li Shihao seems to be even worse. As a newcomer to the league, he hasn't even won the best rookie yet. In the competition for the scoring champion, he can't even rank in the top ten. It seems that his scoring ability is not worth it at all. people value.
But Li Shihao severely slapped these experts who looked down on him in the face with practical actions!
The scoring data of 27 points per game was obtained without Corey Brewer, and during this period of time, the Minnesota Timberwolves only lost one game. Obviously, Li Shihao does not have the so-called cancerous attributes in it .
However, once the words have been spoken, it is like splashing water, and it is difficult to take them back.
For the sake of their authority, these experts will continue to be black with the cheek.
They think that three or four games are nothing, and they are not worth proving anything. The Chinese kid just took advantage of the schedule. During this period, the teams they met were all teams that were restrained by the Timberwolves. Li Shihao was able to lead the team to win. is normal!
Li Shihao ignored these widely circulated remarks in the United States. For him, it is normal to be hacked when he is famous, especially in the United States where he is not familiar with the place where he is born.
Even a superstar like Kobe James has been hacked by many people in China, let alone a rookie player like him.
Thinking about it from another angle, I was hacked in the United States as a Chinese, and Kobe and James were hacked in China as Americans. It seems that I have taken advantage of it, at least one less scolding is not!
Against the Trail Blazers led by Brandon Roy, this game was not as difficult as imagined.
Brandon Roy has just returned from injury. He was injured during the All-Star Weekend, and he withdrew from the All-Star Game because of this, which disappointed many fans. Now that he has just returned, his state has obviously not returned to his best state.
Without Brewer's possession to distribute the ball, Li Shihao has a lot more chances to play singles, and his offensive efficiency in rounds is really much higher than Corey Brewer.
Li Shihao didn't take many shots. He made 20 of 11 shots and scored 34 points and 5 rebounds. Among them, he made 7 of 4 three-pointers. He continued the fiery three-pointers against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Without deliberately distributing the ball, Li Shihao's organization of the team is much smoother and more comfortable, and his control over the rhythm of the game has also increased a lot.
This surprised Li Shihao. I don't know if Corey Brewer would feel a mouthful of old blood spurting out when he found out!
