Chapter 292: Master of Rhythm

After a night with Staples, Lee Shihao got a win from the Los Angeles Clippers and cemented their position as No. 1 in the West. Happy? Wen? Xs520. COM

The Los Angeles Clippers' top rookie Griffin hit a big double-double of 26 points and 17 rebounds, but he still lost the game and became the background board of the game, but Li Shihao quietly brushed up on 33 points and 7 assists after the game, and was once again named the best in the game, which received wide attention from the media in the Staples Arena.

In the eyes of the media, victory is the greatest value of sports journalism, and not too many media reporters have paid attention to the defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers, and in their eyes, a little mention of the performance of the Los Angeles Clippers in a short space is already a great mercy.

The November schedule is a tight one, and it will be a test for the young Timberwolves, who have changed their roster this season from last season, with the addition of a number of rookie players to the roster, and a combination of problems that have become a problem for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Although the Timberwolves have played an extremely good performance this season, they have firmly occupied a playoff spot in the increasingly competitive Western environment, but there are many problems, rookie players will still have discomfort, in the team, Bledsoe and Jeremy Lin and others have been unstable, they can sometimes contribute statistics that are not inferior to the starters in the game, play extremely efficient performances, but sometimes they will make mistakes and bury the chance to win the game at the most critical moment of the game.

Even the most favored Paul George will have his downturns, but Paul George is a determined man, he will not fall into a state of loss because of a slump in a game, and he is excellent defensively, even if he can't give the team firepower support on the offensive end, he can set an example defensively!

The November schedule can be said to be the devil's schedule, and for a young team like the Timberwolves, once they suffer a losing streak, they are very likely to lose their form, destroy the original chemistry, and fall into a vicious circle.

Therefore, the Timberwolves coaching staff led by Frank Vogel has been maintaining a high level of attention, and it is not easy for the Timberwolves to be formed today, and the loss caused by a slight difference in the pool is too great.

As the team's strategists, they have always controlled the direction of the team, and there will be storms and reefs on the way of the team, and they cannot predict all the dangers, but can only walk on thin ice to lead the team on the right path.

Nowadays, the world's attention is attracted to the small city of Minnesota, the young and passionate Wolves have become the favorite in the eyes of many, and the NBA is a commercial league that is never short of performances and topics.

If teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat turn things up, fans will get tired of it.

In this world, there are always few real fans, and there are many pseudo fans, and many basketball fans are not die-hard fans of a certain star or a certain team, and it is the norm to like multiple teams.

After playing against the Los Angeles Clippers, the team recuperated in Los Angeles, and the next day, they put on their jerseys again to face the Los Angeles Lakers.

The thrill of last year's Finals tie-break is not far away, and the Lakers' star is still the top killer in the league's No. 2 position, and he can still dominate the ups and downs of the league.

But Li Shihao understands that Kobe Bryant has already shown a decline, and although the seven-game battle with the Celtics last year was enough to resonate, it also revealed that Kobe Bryant was old.

Kobe Bryant, who was born in 78, is old after all, and although he is still in the league at the age of 33, Kobe Bryant, who is gradually declining from his peak, knows best that he can no longer suppress this league.

It's not just Lee Se-ho, it's the Super Triumvirate formed on the Miami coast this summer, the German chariot that made a comeback in Dallas, and the old Spurs in the Holy City...... The league is still glamorous on the surface, one of the most exposed leagues in the world, but the undercurrents hidden in the depths are ready to take off.

This year, the Los Angeles people want to defend their title again and complete the desire to complete a third consecutive championship, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

The two armies faced each other, and Staples once again ignited the smoke in the sky.

Kobe Bryant's unyielding temperament made him insist on playing this game again, playing 35 minutes, scoring 34 points and 6 assists, giving the Timberwolves a loss.

Kobe, who was sweating profusely after the game, found Li Shihao and whispered in his ear: "Bruce, you still have a long way to go, just like this, you can't take the victory from me!" ”

Bryant, who managed to win at home, smiled happily and showed his white teeth.

Facing Li Shihao, who is only in his second season, Kobe Bryant told him very sincerely that if he wants to go far in the playoffs, it is not enough to do it now, he must have a killer weapon and evolve one of the items in his arsenal into a strategic weapon.

Only a weapon that can be called a killer weapon can put people to death!

Li Shihao's strength is enough to rank among superstars, and in the face of most of the No. 1 positions in the league, he can easily win 20+10 data.

But it's not enough to win, especially in a thorny playoff campaign.

Li Shihao's physical fitness is not outstanding, he will always meet a No. 1 player with better speed than him, longer arm span than him, and more explosive attack than him, and basketball is a game of five people, although the Timberwolves' current lineup has unlimited potential, but the strength that really cashes in is only four or five out of ten.

Mutual explosions on the basketball court are a frequent situation, and if Li Shihao can't have a killer weapon, he will suffer at a critical moment in the playoffs.

Failing to take it in crunch time could see a repeat of last season's tragic defeat by the Phoenix Suns.

Li Shihao can only smile bitterly at this, he has strengthened the practice of jump shooting this season, and many offensive techniques that he was not very skilled in before have been twisted by him, but he is still a little powerless to evolve a killer offensive weapon.

Kobe Bryant seemed to see Li Shihao's helplessness, but smiled: "Bruce, this is your second season, you are good enough, in my opinion, you are much better than your compatriot Sun Ke, although the physical fitness is slightly inferior to him, but in terms of strength, you are much stronger." ”

"But if you want to improve your scoring ability—"

Kobe Bryant waved his hand and said emphatically: "Rhythm is a very important point, many people in the league actually know how to play, but in the long schedule, in the long career, after experiencing too many failures or other factors, they have forgotten their own rhythm and how to win!" ”

It seems that some hatred is not made of steel, Kobe Bryant sighed, and there was some complexity in his dark eyes: "A real rhythm master, his ability to control the game is really good, they can quickly kill the game with their ability in just half a quarter!" ”

"Even if it's a game that looks evenly matched!"

Li Shihao was thoughtful, Kobe's words seemed to be meaningful, as if he was talking about the retired Michael Jordan, or ......
