Chapter 251 is directed at Dragic

Since his high school days, Li Shihao has followed his grandfather to the other side of the ocean, grew up in the United States, and his ball skills have also been honed well.

It has to be said that it is not for nothing that the NBA can become a world league, and it is absorbing all kinds of talented rookies from all over the world and from the United States every year.

Among them, American rookies account for the vast majority. Just as Brazil once claimed to be the kingdom of football, the basketball environment in the United States has produced a number of outstanding young people to showcase themselves on the basketball stage.

In the three years of the NCAA, Li Shihao did not have too bright moments, he was unknown in the first year, and in the second year, he just sat firmly in the position of the team's starting point guard, and when he really came to the fore, it was the crazy March period in the third year.

It was that game against the University of Connecticut that catapulted him to fame, and a record six overtime games that instantly spread his name across the United States, which increased the value of his summer draft.

The three years in the college league gave him a huge buffer time to prepare for his future landing in the NBA.

Since the league began banning high school students from the draft, many talented rookies have begun to change their strategy and begin to use the NCAA as a pedal, landing in the NBA league with the help of a year of NCAA seniority after a full year in the NCAA.

This situation occurs every year, and the basketball geniuses of the United States are like carp across the river, countless, and these talented basketball players who can stand out are all momentary figures, and their greatest characteristic is that they are extremely confident in themselves.

But for many talented basketball players, a year in the NCAA may seem like too short. It doesn't add much experience to them, they are still far from maturity.

Li Shihao is very glad that he chose to participate in the NBA draft at the first time, but hibernate in the NCAA league for three years, honing his skills until the time is ripe. I signed up for the draft.

When he was a freshman, Li Shihao couldn't even guarantee playing time, he belonged to the marginal figure in the college team, and he didn't have to expect to participate in the NBA draft, I'm afraid the NBDL wouldn't want him.

Later, in his sophomore year, he secured the starting point guard position, and his draft prospects were only selected in the middle and late stages of the second round, and he could even fall out of the second round. Become an undrafted rookie.

In the end, in his junior year, he successfully counterattacked, using the crazy performance in Crazy March to enter the lottery area in one fell swoop, and was finally picked up by the Timberwolves who held the first-round pick in the draft.

Compared to the NCAA, the NBA is another field, and many NCAA college stars have killed all sides. In the NBA, they tend to be role players and start off the bench. Some who can't hold on will even quit the NBA stage and be eliminated by this league.

There are still very few rookies like Derrick Rose who can kill all sides as a freshman in the league, and even Kevin Durant, the star of the current Russian City Thunder, is a rookie who is constantly playing iron and relying on a lot of shooting opportunities in exchange for personal data when he first enters the league. You know, Durant is still the rookie of the 07 session.

Li Shihao was able to go all the way to the end this season because of the three years in the NCAA period, there were no three years of dormancy and three years of buffer. He definitely won't adapt to this league so easily.

Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Deron Williams, Chris Paul...... There are too many excellent No. 1 positions in this league, and for Li Shihao, who first entered the alliance, every square is not easy to deal with.

But after he adapted to this league, a season of tempering made his strength improve rapidly.

The stronger the environment, the more able it is to train people, and this is true!

After the big brother Yao Ming gained a firm foothold in the NBA, his strength improved rapidly, and finally he was able to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the top of Asia and all the way to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games.

In the second round of the playoffs, the Timberwolves faced the Phoenix Suns, who had lost two games in a row, and the situation was precarious.

Li Shihao can't guard Nash, and Nash can't guard Li Shihao, both sides understand this, so the Suns chose to let the young and aggressive Dragic defend themselves and not give themselves a chance to shoot easily.

In this game, if you want to win and get back a game with a big score, you must start by yourself and blow up a position, which will trigger a chain reaction and drive the rhythm of the whole team.

In the first two games, Steve Nash perfectly controlled the rhythm of the game, even if he couldn't defend himself, he was still able to maintain the offensive firepower just right, and the point difference never changed much, and finally the Timberwolves were trapped alive in the game.

Dragic is very athletic, although he is a white player, but he is not as bad as some black players in this regard, he can keep an eye on Li Shihao and not give Li Shihao a chance to jump easily.

Fortunately, Li Shihao has an excellent sense of rhythm, and in the face of Dragic's defense, he can find the flaws in Dragic's defense through the gap in the dribbling rhythm, use realistic feints to bring up Dragic's movements, and then explode instantaneously and break through Dragic's defense with the ball.

That's the best way to face the young Suns guard!

In the past season, Li Shihao has made great progress in both ball control ability and explosiveness, which is no longer the same as when he first entered the league.

That's why many media people and TV commentators are willing to vote for him at the Rookie of the Year award.

Lee has not only proven himself to be one of the best rookies this year, but he has also proven his own potential for improvement, the latter being particularly important.

The selection of the best rookie needs to consider this aspect, and the selection of the best rookie in a rookie is very deliberate, after all, if the second and third places surpass the first place in the future to become a legendary star in history, then the fun will be great.

Stephen Curry's strength was not very impressive at the beginning of the season, but after a season, he has overtaken Jennings of the Bucks and become the third in the rookie list, and this rate of improvement has also changed many people's opinion of him, thinking that he can adapt to this league and become a star.

However, Li Shihao has shown even more improvement this season than Curry.

Facing Dragic tonight, after Li Shihao found the right way, he pinched it accurately, and after playing with confidence in the breakthrough, he could even switch his style of play and use his strength to eat Dragic after starting.

This method is also extremely effective, in terms of strength, Dragic is too bad for Li Shihao, and he can't withstand Li Shihao's strong beating at all.
