Chapter 193: Invitation

Corey's offensive ability is almost none, which is his biggest problem, and the biggest constraint on his ability on the court.

If Corey has an offensive weapon in his hand that can be practiced to the mid-table level of the league, even if it is a breakthrough, then the overall strength of the Timberwolves will rise a lot.

It's a pity that Corey has a good talent, but his offensive ability has not been developed for a long time, and this can't be blamed on him, God is fair, while giving Cory Brewer excellent physical fitness, it also gives him a problem of low offensive ability.

However, the drawbacks of Corey's absence still exist, and the Timberwolves' outside defense without Cory Brewer's blocking, it is like a huge sieve, full of loopholes, blocking this end, and leaking that end, which is completely the rhythm of demolishing the east wall and making up for the west wall.

Such a situation may not be remarkable in the regular season and can be covered up with excellent offense, but Li Shihao understands that once this huge weakness on the defensive end enters the playoff stage, it will become a time bomb at any time, and if it can't be repaired, at that time, it will eventually make the team suffer from itself.

The playoffs are a stage of defense, and no one dares to deny that no championship team in the history of the league has poor defensive ability, at least they can do both offense and defense, and only such a team can defeat strong opponents on the thorny road to the playoffs, and finally reach the top of the championship.

Recently, Li Shihao's average points per game have increased, the reason is that the three-point shooting rate has increased a lot, which is undoubtedly a lot better than the beginning of the season, at least now, Li Shihao dares to shoot seven or eight three-pointers per game, which was unthinkable before.

Li Shihao used to envy Stephen Curry's three-point ability, although Curry was his best friend. But it can't hide the envy in Li Shihao's heart.

Stephen Curry led Davidson College to a miracle during the NCAA period, and now, the NCAA season three-point record seems to have been set by Stephen Curry!

He has an excellent long-range shooting ability, and he is fully able to improve his offensive range by a large circle, and the opponent will also be anxious when defending himself, facing a player who has expanded his offensive range by more than half. Anyone has a headache.

Now, Li Shihao's three-point shooting technique, which he has been struggling with, has also improved, and it is in vain that he has been practicing this skill hard.

He used to love the three-point shot deeply, but unfortunately the three-point shot didn't love him at all.

Now after hard work, the three-point shot has finally changed his opinion and began to favor him.

With a reliable three-point shooting technique, Li Shihao's confidence in the outside jump shot has also increased a lot, and the opponents who used to look extremely tricky are now much easier to match.

Confidence comes from one's own strength. After Li Shihao's three-point shooting skills improved, his confidence naturally soared, and he was in good shape during this period and played an extremely good game, which is not surprising.

After the win over the Trail Blazers, the media evaluation has changed a lot, and the Timberwolves have been on good momentum lately, although they have missed Cory Brewer. However, the record did not decline, which obviously disgraced many of the media that claimed before the game that the Timberwolves would lose in a row.

In the guarantee of news sales. The media still pinched their noses and admitted it, no longer insisting on blacking Li Shihao vigorously, but began to use some praise words, but everyone understands that this is only temporary, if the Timberwolves' record declines once it declines. I'm afraid that the first ones to jump out and sing the opposite tune are still these uncrowned kings.

The next game is against the Golden State Warriors, playing away and heading to California.

This game against his friend Stephen Curry's team undoubtedly made Li Shihao feel a little relaxed and happy in the tight schedule.

Curry is a good friend of Lee Shihao's friends since high school, and the two met during a bullfight on the streets of New York. At that time, Curry looked like a teenager and provoked Li Shihao, who was practicing seriously.

At that time, Curry was still very arrogant, thinking that he had perfectly inherited his father's shooter genes, and was obsessed with three-point shooting.

In that bullfight, Curry was dumbfounded, 11 balls decided the winner, and Li Shihao finally won Curry with a 7:4 advantage.

Although Li Shihao's three-point shot is not as accurate as his, his one-handed shot is extremely sharp, and he can almost go out with the nickname of "Little Prince of Medium Pitching".

Curry doesn't have any good ways to defend Li Shihao, he is not good at defensive ability, and it is good if he doesn't become a colander.

The bullfight between the two is to compare whose offensive ability is outstanding, and after a contest, Li Shihao is better after all.

After all, Li Shihao was still struggling to hone his breakthrough skills at that time, and in terms of breakthrough, Curry was still very uncomfortable when defending.

Li Shihao arrived in Oakland with the team's flight, and as soon as he got off the plane, Stephen Curry's call arrived.

Curry's voice in the microphone was a little envious and jealous: "Bruce, you've been in the limelight too much lately, but you can overshadow me!" You're going to be out of luck! ”

There was some indignation in Curry's words, and Li Shihao could even think of Stephen Curry gritting his teeth in front of the phone.

He couldn't know more about this old friend, and his showy personality made him the focus of attention everywhere, especially with a cute Zhengtai face, which was very lethal.

However, Stephen Curry is still very likable and very good to his friends, Li Shihao came to Oakland to play away football this time, and Stephen Curry took the initiative to invite Li Shihao to dinner.

The location was set in San Francisco's Chinatown, and you have to take a car from Oakland to cross the Ocean Bridge, and the other end of the bay is San Francisco across the sea.

San Francisco's Chinese atmosphere is too strong, not worse than New York, and even better in some places.

Stephen Curry set the location in a quaint Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and the disinfection fee will not be low by looking at the decoration, and the taste here is estimated to be very authentic.

After entering the NBA league, the two of them were divided into different teams, and there were too many games in one season, and it was difficult to have a lot of free time. Fortunately, the two of them are in the West together, and they have four meetings every season, and they can meet a few times from time to time.

It's good that two people don't touch each other, but when they meet and chat together, they will have a sour taste, making it more sour than the sour plums that women eat during pregnancy.

The topic was stirred up by Stephen Curry first, which made him suffocate.

I saw Curry take a bite of spicy tofu, his mouth was on fire, and he exhaled for a while before he said, "Bruce, you're much luckier than me!" (To be continued.) )
