Chapter Twenty-Five: A Response from Oakland

When the live broadcast cut back to the game, the entire target center was seen cheering, many fans wearing Timberwolves jerseys cheering and shouting, standing up and shouting "Bruce", and many young couple fans even hugged and kissed in public.

On the court, Li Shihao raised his head, his eyes were calm and waveless, his hands were raised high, and he stretched out three fingers to point to the sky, and the fans in the audience reacted more fiercely when they saw this picture!

Barkley exclaimed, pulling his fat cheeks and wondering: "What happened just now, did the great Sir Charles miss any wonderful shots?" Let's take a look at the previous replay! ”

I saw a figure in a blue jersey flashing from the crowd on the huge screen above the stadium, intercepting an orange elf as fast as lightning in his hand, rushing to the opposite half of the court at a very fast speed, facing the opposing player who quickly made up the defense, one turned over, and with the strong inertia in the state of hurry, turned over and pressed the enemy player under him, straightened his arm, and poured a domineering violent buckle on the basket, and the whole process was full of violent beauty!

Barkley exclaimed, and glanced at Kenny Smith on the side, with some surprise in his eyes, the number 11 on the back of the player in the blue jersey was very clear.

This Chinese rookie is not simple!

Barkley recalled that when Li Shihao was violently buckled in the picture of Fang Cai, the fierce eyes of this Chinese rookie, and then compared with the calm and waveless eyes now, it is unbelievable that Fang Cai's wonderful violent buckle is what this thin young man is doing now!

"This rookie is strong!" Both Kenny Smith and Barkley had this sentence in their minds.

At this moment, Blanton Jennings on the court was in a trance, and he was stunned to recall Li Shihao's amazing dunk.

Is this really what the Chinese kid who can't fight can do it?

He had already tried his best to block it, but he was still dunked under him by a violent dunk, rubbing his chest that was still a little painful, Brandon Jennings bared his teeth and sighed, he still underestimated him.

This Chinese kid may be his lifelong enemy!

From the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Li Shihao began to show the ability of an excellent point guard, not only to help the team on the offensive end, but also to help the team connect inside and outside through passing, blending the offense and defense of the entire team, and all the transitions between offense and defense were smooth and free, which was a step up from the performance of the first game with the Suns.

Kenny Smith was a little amazed and sighed twice, as the hero of the Rockets Olajuwon two consecutive championships, he played the role of point guard.

The players who were able to make a name for themselves in Jordan's era were naturally not bad, and he had played against many No. 1 superstars with different styles of play, such as Gary Payton, Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Stockton, ...... He has seen countless powerful point guards, and he has a deep understanding of the position of point guard, so he can naturally see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages of Li Shihao's performance tonight!

As a rookie, he can straighten out the team's offense and defense one by one, and play a wonderful team smoothly, which is enough to compare with many famous point guards in the league!

The Chinese-American rookie has been progressing too fast, and he's learned a lot from Nash after his experience with the Suns, and the two-time MVP Canadian's playmaking on the offensive end is a textbook game. The young Timberwolves were crushed, and in the final quarter of the game, they couldn't even see the teamwork that the team should have, and they were completely caught up in a disorganized offense.

After that game, countless media believed that the Chinese rookies who were in the limelight at the beginning of the season met the rookie wall, and their game status would drop greatly in the following games, and they would no longer have the same dazzling performance as before!

However, what people didn't expect was that several tragic defeats did not knock him down, but made him stronger in the setbacks, if the Timberwolves before the losing streak, the coordination between offense and defense was still a little obscure, and now the Timberwolves are like a wolf pack, seemingly scattered, but can always quickly carry out effective offense and defense in an instant.

It can be said that whether on the offensive end or on the defensive end, the Timberwolves did an extremely good job in this game, and under the organization of Li Shihao, the Timberwolves carried out a series of tactical cooperation such as blocking and dismantling, covering, etc., can be perfectly implemented, like flowing water, it is hard to imagine that this is a rookie player can do.

The Timberwolves showed a completely different form in this game than before the losing streak, and the young team seems to have found a new wolf king, and the former wolves that roamed the West are embracing a new leader!

“ThekingoftheWolf！” Kenny Smith slowly spat out the word in his mouth, looking a little cautious.

He turned out the player statistics, and when his fingertips touched Li Shihao's half-court data, the surprise in his eyes became even stronger, only in half time, the Chinese rookie bombarded 11 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and the efficiency value on the court was extremely amazing.

Recall the amazing prowess of this amazing rookie!

First of all, in the face of Brandon Jennings's fierce defense on the outside, two three-point jumpers calmly shot, Li Shihao, who felt hot, perfectly ignored Blanton's strict defense, and still threw the basketball into the basket easily with his excellent state, his hand made the basket as wide as the sea!

Bruce then quickly broke through to the interior and set up Kevin Love for the basket in the moment of attracting the bag, who received the ball and scored two points on Australian center Bogut to save face.

Finally, Brewer, who assisted the outside point guard, easily hit a mid-range jumper in an unguarded state and scored two points cleanly.

Within ten minutes, this set of combination punches continued to bombard the defensive line of the Bucks, shattering the inside and outside lines they had just formed, and immediately stunned the young men of the Bucks.

Bucks head coach Skells didn't expect the team to collapse so quickly in an instant, and quickly called a timeout to try to stop the Timberwolves' hot state.

But to Skels' disappointment, the timeout was still ineffective, and when the game came back, the Timberwolves continued their hot form perfectly until the end of the third quarter, waiting for the rest time to enter the break, and the Bucks trailed by a full 27 points!

There is still a full quarter to go before the end of the game, but the 27-point gap is already a trench in front of the Bucks, which is difficult for this group of young players to cross!

It can be said that by this time in the game, the Timberwolves have the winning chips in their hands.

The Timberwolves fans in the stadium began to cheer and cheer for the home team!

This season's Timberwolves have given them hope, and their favorite team is gradually moving towards the road of revival under the leadership of this Chinese rookie, which is this thin yellow-skinned youth, in a completely different way from KG, to make the team stronger and stronger!

In the stands, many fans took off their No. 11 blue jerseys, raised their right hands in the air, cheered and waved, and the entire target center fell into a jubilant atmosphere.

Charles Barkley, who was in the live broadcast seat, rubbed his drooping eyelids, yawned a little boredly, and complained: "Is this the game brought about by the 'Mr. Fifty-Five' who was in hot form before?" Too bad! The suspense of this game has gradually lost its suspense, and from the second quarter onwards, the rhythm of the whole game began to be controlled by the Timberwolves, and I didn't see any meaningful teamwork from the Bucks' offense and defense, which was really disappointing! ”

Kenny Smith nodded, there is really not much suspense in this game, it is too difficult to expect the Bucks to fill in the huge gap of 27 points in the fourth quarter of the game and lead the team to complete a big reversal, if such a scene really occurs, either God is hiding in the Bucks wearing the No. 23 jersey, or the target center staged a sci-fi masterpiece with amazing special effects!

Then in the fourth quarter, Riskells gave up the game, replaced all the benches on the court, and when the final whistle blew, the Timberwolves defeated the Bucks with a score of 103-87, and this home victory ended their losing streak.

After this game, the Timberwolves went to Portland Rose Garden to play away against the league's young powerhouse, the Trail Blazers, and after a hard-fought battle, the Timberwolves won the game without danger with their increasingly mature tactical cooperation and the Trail Blazers' inaccurate prediction of the game.

The Timberwolves are on a two-game winning streak after three straight losses!

They are about to travel to Oakland on November 10 to challenge the Golden State Warriors, and the topic of Lee Shihao against his old opponent Stephen Curry in the NCAA period has also become more and more heated by the media.

Countless people want to know who of these two rookies with very similar styles can win the final victory of the game that night and complete the proof of their strength!

When an ESPN reporter intercepted Li Shihao and asked him how he felt about the upcoming game against the Warriors, Li Shihao said to the camera with a rare smile: "In this game, I will go all out, and I will let Stephen see my transformation now!" The winner of the contest will definitely be me! ”

The ESPN reporter was a little stunned when he got this answer, he didn't expect the always low-key and silent Chinese kid to give such a gunpowder answer.

He then happily rushed out the manuscript overnight, and ESPN published the transcript of the special correspondent's interview on time the next day.

When the news reached Oakland, it was already late at night, and Stephen Curry, who has now gradually established himself in the Warriors, said to the local media in Oakland when faced with this provocative news: "I will not let Bruce win easily, here, I have a stronger desire to win!" ”
