Chapter 30: The Enemy of Life

"Oh my God, Monta doesn't look like a normal second-round pick, he's showing the offensive performance of one of the league's top shooting guards, and he's completely turning scoring into an art!"

When Monta Ellis scored 12 straight points in five minutes of the third quarter, the game's commentator, Jeff Van Gundy, spoke in amazement.

"His performance tonight is completely crazy, he keeps breaking through to the basket, constantly impacting the Timberwolves' interior, look at the Timberwolves' interior performance, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love have been fouled four times, let me see the current Monta Ellis score, now he has scored 37 points, he can always put the basketball in at the right time, it will be as easy for him tonight as eating and drinking!"

Jeff Van Gundy saw Montaelis constantly attacking the Timberwolves' interior and hitting the net with difficult layups, and the former Rockets head coach had praise in his eyes.

Monta Ellis's scoring method is very peculiar, he always shoots the spinning basketball into the basket through the rebound force on the rebound when he goes to the basket, this means is extremely effective in the face of interior defense, this trick is Monta Ellis slowly groped out, in 07 Black Eight, if Monta had this move at that time, presumably the Mavericks would have lost faster.

Charles Bucklina glanced at Jeff Van Gundy with some disdain in his eyes, and he interrupted Jeff Van Gundy's chatter: "NO! I don't think he's the league's top shooting guard, he's still a long way from that, and tonight's outburst was just an accident! ”

Charles doesn't seem to be optimistic about Monta Ellis, he has a shadow on the position of shooting guard, and he had several chances to win a championship, but he was ruined by the shooting guard named Michael Jordan, even if that person is his long-time friend, he can't let go.

In this performance, Montaelis was indeed explosive, constantly hitting hard, breaking through, and scoring in the middle of the shot, and he completely showed his offensive means perfectly in this game.

However, Charles Barkley still stubbornly believes that Montaelis is still not the league's top scoring guard tonight, and the deepest reason is probably not even clear to him, Jordan has perfectly interpreted the meaning of the position of scoring guard, so that as Michael Jordan's friend and rival for many years, Barkley can hardly accept that any scoring guard can easily get the title of top scoring guard.

"Monta Ellis was in great shape tonight, but that doesn't mean he's in the ranks of the best shooting guards, his offense is still not consistent and efficient, and this outbreak may just be due to the effect of the Timberwolves' defensive system and the obvious results, if you meet the best defensive team in the league, I think it will be difficult for Monta to perform tonight!"

"And I think Kobe Bryant will do better than him in this area!" Charles Barkley's expression was a little serious, not his usual hippie smile, quite touching.

Jeff Van Gundy glanced at Barkley in surprise, he didn't expect Barkley to say this, you know, Barkley has always had a black fan attitude towards Kobe in the league, often criticizing Kobe's shooting and ball problems, tonight it was rare to see Charles Barkley rarely praise Kobe's scoring methods!

Jeff Van Gundy smiled, not to dwell on it, he was not disgusted with Li Shihao, a rookie, he was willing to coach the Rockets because of the little giant Yao Ming, and his coaching career for several years made him have always had an expectation for Yao Ming.

He wants to watch the little giant he trained to complete his dream of winning the championship instead of him, but this season's Yao Ming's season reimbursement makes him feel sad in his heart.

Since the start of the new season, he has often watched the Timberwolves games, and he wants to see how this Chinese rookie from the same ancient oriental country as China's Yao can perform!

To his surprise, the young man showed an extremely mature way of playing, and he was gradually making his mark on the Timberwolves, and the whole Timberwolves began to gradually become stronger!

Jeff Van Gundy pulled his suit and tie, coughed, picked up the technical statistics, and wanted to check the statistical performance of the players of the two teams in this game, when he moved his eyes to Li Shihao's column, he sighed:

"It's unbelievable that Bruce is going to set a new record in his career!"

Charles Barkley's eyes were a little curious when he heard this, and he put his big head on Jeff Van Gundy's technical statistics document, and his huge head restlessly moved on Van Gundy's clean and straight suit, and the live broadcast caused many viewers in front of the TV to laugh.

Charles took a look, his big mouth opened and closed, and exclaimed, "Is Bruce going to get his first triple-double?" Unbelievable! ”

13 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, this is the data handed over by Li Shihao in the third quarter of the game, efficient and incredible!

In the third quarter of the game, Li Shihao did not abuse the right to shoot, but distributed the ball reasonably, and kept passing the ball to the interior in the first two quarters, allowing the Timberwolves' interior line to gradually open up the situation, and when the Warriors' Montaelis charged their interior, the Chinese rookie gradually shifted his offensive focus to the outside.

Constantly assisting Brewer and Roberts from the outside, but his own strong shots are very few, and the 13-point data is basically all open shots, which creates a situation where the Timberwolves lead the Warriors by 8 points.

Monta Ellis' performance in this game is not outstanding, his scoring performance has undoubtedly been a great help to the team, and it can be said that if he did not maintain uninterrupted offensive firepower in this game, it would be an irreparable defeat for the Warriors.

In this game, Curry shot 3 of 11 from beyond the three-point line, showing some struggle, and Biederins on the inside could not provide effective help, this game can be said to be Monta Ellis hanging for the Warriors, if Monta Ellis once fell into a cold state, then the Warriors will inevitably suffer a scoring drought.

Defeat will be irretrievable!

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Shihao's eyes, there were 2 minutes and 47 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, he only needed to give the Warriors one more final blow, then what awaited the Timberwolves would be a low-hanging fruit!

Then then, it's time for him to fire!

Li Shihao controlled the ball at the top of the arc, facing the marking of his friend Curry, he smiled, lowered the center of gravity of his body, changed his rhythm in an instant, and quickly broke through to the right.

Facing Li Shihao, who suddenly broke into the penalty area, Bidelins' face flashed a trace of cruelty, and he quickly rushed over, and a big hand that covered the sky and the sun tried to block Li Shihao's attack.

Weirdly, Li Shihao jumped up in the air, his body curled up in the narrow space under the basket, but the hands holding the ball gradually stretched out, the white and powerful arm hit Biedrins's blocking hand, the wrist shook slightly, and he used a wrist force to accurately send the basketball into the basket.

2+1！ Biedrins stood stunned, a little hard to believe in the face of the referee's decision, he had blocked it in such a timely manner, why was this yellow-skinned kid still able to put the basketball into the basket?

The entire Oracle Arena became somewhat quiet, and then an aggressive crowd of fans began to boo Lee Shihao, unhappy that the rookie was performing his "clumsy" scoring skills on their home court.

Li Shihao listened to the boos of the audience, with a faint smile on his face, and steadily hit the free throw, adding a point to the team.

He never stops himself because of the doubts of the outside world, which only makes him more eager to be strong!

In the next game, Li Shihao launched a personal strong attack and began to lead the team to open the score in his own way!

Outside the three-point line against Curry's defense, he suddenly had a cold arrow, a three-point shot, and the basketball hollowed into the net with a soft hand, and shot his second three-pointer of the game!

In the face of Monta Ellis's change of defense, Li Shihao hit hard with his back, shook off Monta Ellis's block, turned around and threw a mid-range jumper, and the basketball hit the board into the basket and scored two points.

Broke through to the basket and took advantage of Kevin Love's cover to easily hit two points with a folding layup.

Steal Montaellis's pass halfway, quickly attack the basket, quickly counterattack at lightning speed, and hit a graceful gliding dunk!

…………

When the third quarter ended, the Timberwolves led the Warriors 104-81, and the huge 23-point gap made the main players of the Warriors have a little gloomy on their faces, and they can't believe that this is their performance tonight.

This is Oakland's Oracle Arena, the home of the Golden State Warriors, who were easily beaten by their opponents and will be looking to get a heavy defeat on their own home court tonight!

There's nothing worse than that!

In the fourth quarter that followed, Warriors head coach Don Nelson did not send the main lineup again, but replaced the bench, and they abandoned the game, and the 20-point gap basically lost the suspense of the game.

The old Nelson saw that the team's main players were a little depressed, so he no longer insisted on it, and simply began to run in the substitute lineup.

He didn't say anything to Monta Ellis, who performed well tonight, but instead asked Stephen Curry to sit next to him, looking at Li Shihao, who was being substituted, with an indescribable glint in his cloudy eyes.

"Stephen, did you see Bruce's performance in this game?"

"Coach, he played well, and I didn't play as well as I should, today I failed, but I'm not going to give up!" Curry clenched the white towel in his hand and gritted his teeth.

He and Li Shihao have been friends for many years, he recognizes Li Shihao, and now Li Shihao is ahead of him, but he does not allow himself to give up, he will definitely catch up with Li Shihao!

"Stephen, he's a real point guard, he's going to be your lifelong enemy!"
