Chapter 252 System Players

Long before the game, Li Shihao carefully watched the game video of the Phoenix Suns, which especially brought out the game clips of Dragic, and with the post-game data analysis, Li Shihao was able to find out where Dragic's weaknesses were.

The Timberwolves lost to the Phoenix Suns in the previous two games, and Li Shihao couldn't find a reason for the loss at that time.

The Phoenix Suns' lineup is not too strong compared to the Timberwolves, especially on the inside, whether Gasol Jr. is partnered with Kevin Love or with Dacomi Risic, he is an unstoppable interior combination for the Suns.

In terms of outside offense, the strength of the Timberwolves' cards is not much inferior, Li Shihao and Steve Nash are half open, although that is the reason why Nash is older and has less playing time for a whole quarter, but in such an integrated calculation, the difference in strength between the two sides is not big, but the Timberwolves' loss of points is still significant.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

No one sees it better than Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel, who stands on the sidelines every game, carefully observes every detail of the game, and even if there is an omission, he will look through the game footage over and over again after the game into the night, and what he sees is sometimes crucial.

After Phoenix suffered two heavy defeats, head coach Frank gave Li Shihao a stack of videos, among which he even singled out Dragic's editing, with the intention of hoping that Li Shihao could find out Dragic's weaknesses and target them.

In the playoffs, there are variables in every game, whether it is a losing team or a winning team, a change of lineup is highly likely, and Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel has sensed the Suns' intention to use Dragic as a surprise team.

Dragic is really good, his defensive ability is not bad. The left-handed habit makes his left and right hands have the ability to finish, which makes people unguardable, and the opposing player will always lose to his weird offensive power.

However, in tonight's game, Dragic was the focus of attention by Cory Brewer. Steve Nash handed it over to Li Shihao.

As soon as this strategy was introduced, the situation on the Timberwolves court was instantly eased, and the rhythm of play was restored.

In the first two games, the Timberwolves' defensive focus was on Steve Nash, Stoudemire, Grant Hill and others.

After these competitions, Li Shihao has to admit. He underestimated the strength of Dragic, this Yugoslav kid, is definitely a potential stock, full of potential.

At the beginning of the season, Li Shihao, who had just entered the league, met Mo Williams of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and to be honest, although the latter was able to average 15.8 points per game this season, Dragic was higher in terms of potential.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed short of people. The management of the knights has been looking for helpers for the little emperor James for so many years, but they are all useless helpers. To be honest, Mo Williams is already a relatively reliable teammate.

Dragic's efficiency in the game is much higher than that of Mores, and at the same time, not as worrying as More's defense.

The Phoenix Suns' attitude towards Dragic is conservative and they are still a championship contender in such a strong team. Dragic did gain a lot of valuable game experience, but his playing time and shooting power were certainly not comparable to that of Morewills.

Li Shihao even guessed that if Dragic and Mo Williams tried to change owners with each other, I am afraid that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be a little more terrifying this year.

Li Shihao understands that Dragic is indeed a rare talent in the No. 1 position. In time, he will definitely become the star point guard in the league, but all this is based on the premise that a team is willing to develop him.

At least for now, the Phoenix Suns belong to Steve Nash, and the Suns management has no plans to rebuild.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Shihao deliberately increased the number of singles, facing the defender Dragic, and the Yugoslav boy obviously did not have a good way to face Li Shihao's hard and strong beating.

Li Shihao has gained weight this season, but it is a reasonable weight gain, and his flexibility and speed have not been affected, but he has accelerated a lot in explosiveness.

The precedent of big brother Yao Ming's weight gain was placed in front of Li Shihao, and Li Shihao naturally did not dare to gain weight indiscriminately.

For defenders, the impact of weight gain is more pronounced than that of interior players, and the consequences of mistakes can be more serious, ranging from ankle sprains to season reimbursements.

Li Shihao's upper limb muscles are much thicker, and you don't need to deliberately bulge up, you can see the muscles with obvious undulations. The lumps are hard and solid, which has made him much less stressed this season against a lot of strong No. 1 players.

In this, he has paid a lot of hard work, and the sweat in the power room is no less than the shooting practice, and he can still recall the fatigue of sweating like rain.

Steve Nash created scoring opportunities by blocking and dismantling Marc Gasol, and when he assisted his teammates to complete scoring opportunities, Li Shihao was always able to return the favor, either by beating Dragic to score points on his own, or by using excellent passing awareness, passing the ball to tear apart the defense and assist his teammates.

The situation was stalemate for a while, and the score gap between the two teams has been maintained at about 7 points.

However, the Phoenix Suns always hold a seven-point advantage, which makes them play with much less pressure than the Timberwolves' young lads.

On the commentary seat, Reggie Miller watched Li Shihao shuttle through the crowd like a swift and agile butterfly, using his arsenal to create scoring opportunities for the Timberwolves step by step, so the picture of carrying the team forward couldn't help but make Reggie Miller's eyes shine again and again, and he let out a sigh of admiration from time to time.

Reggie Miller also admires Li Shihao, although the NBA league respects physical fitness, but there are still players like Reggie Miller in it, Miller's physical fitness is mediocre, and he relies on his constant running in the league and accurate three-point shots.

And Li Shihao's performance tonight made him also admire.

It's very rare that a player who is not very physical can also show enough leadership qualities to lead the team forward with his individual ability.

Reggie Miller's eyes were fixed on Li Shihao's swift and fast breakthrough pace in the picture, penetrating the lethal pass, and couldn't help but sigh: "I think, Bruce Lee has also become one of the few system players in the league, he already has the ability to build a system for a team, and Minnesotans have picked up the treasure." ”
