Chapter 173: Fighting the Bull Again

After beating the Pistons on the road, Li Shihao flew with the team to Washington to play against the Wizards.

The Washington Wizards have completely lost all illusions this season, and fans understand that the Washington Wizards have completely entered a period of rebuilding, and there is no suspense left.

Since the "gungate" incident was exposed, the Wizards' big3 has completely disintegrated, and the cost of Arenas' season reimbursement combined with the consequences of ruining his reputation has made no team in the league dare to let such a time bomb stay in the team.

Although the United States is a society that legally owns guns, anyone who thinks that there is a teammate who plays with you will raise the gun in his hand at you at a certain moment because of gambling money and other trivial matters, and when the gun is pointed at your head, I am afraid that no matter how good the friendship is, it will turn into a life-and-death feud.

The bad impact of this incident was so great that the Pauline family, who were at the helm of the Washington Wizards, even had the idea of selling the team at one point.

In today's Washington Wizards lineup, there is no star who can be worthy of the big responsibility, and the Washington Wizards have really become the bottom team in the league, and there is no chance of turning over.

The Wizards are currently in the second-to-last place in the East, with a 17-37 record, and are definitely heading straight for the top three picks, and now, the Wizards' management is already sending scouts to scout the talented players in the NCAA.

Especially like John Wall, the main core of Kentie Tower University, this talented guard template is Derrick Rose, and the outstanding performance of the Bulls' top pick has made John Wall's draft market soar.

The management of the Wizards has also set their sights on this young man who is a draft favorite, and with their league-bottom record, it is not surprising that there will be a great chance of getting the top three spots in the draft, and even with a little luck, it is very likely that they will get the top pick.

Nature. John Wall of Kentita University has become the subject of the Washington Wizards, who are even considering a rebuilding with John Wall as the centerpiece.

The Timberwolves played the Washington Wizards away from home, and there was no suspense in the result, and the Timberwolves once again besieged the Washington Wizards, easily allowing the latter to hand over their victory.

Li Shihao only played three quarters before leaving work, and the Washington Wizards after the "gungate" incident was exposed, there was no longer a trace of competitiveness. Many players were banned by the league, and the Washington Wizards in such a situation did not fall to the bottom of the league, which is what surprised Li Shihao.

After a night's stay in Washington, the Timberwolves boys, who had played two straight road trips, finally took the team flight back to Minnesota.

Although Minnesota is still cold at this moment, and there is still snow in the city, it makes the Timberwolves feel extremely warm.

After playing back-to-back away games a lot, Li Shihao and his team understand how happy it is to play at home, and the Timberwolves boys have become accustomed to everything Minnesota.

This time. They will be at home against the Bulls, once the undisputed unbeatable team in the league, who have arrived from Chicago.

It's just that it was already the glory of Michael Jordan's time, and the Bulls are still fighting to reach the semifinals!

Chicago fans found their future leader, Derrick Rose, a young man who gave Chicago fans all their fantasies, and they were blown away by the stunning performance of the young point guard, who thought they had found the most suitable team leader for the post-Jordan era!

A future superstar who can lead the Chicago Bulls back to championship glory!

This year, if there is no Li Shihao's sideways killing. I'm afraid Derrick Rose will refresh people's impression of him again.

The young man was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time this year, becoming the Bulls' second All-Star player since Jordan. And, at just 21 years and 133 days, Derrick Rose became the youngest All-Star in Bulls history.

It broke the record of 21 years and 359 days held by Michael Jordan.

As the god of basketball, Michael Jordan has set many records, and the record broken by Rose may be the less dazzling of a long list, but this record has made Rose's potential favored by everyone.

This year's Bulls are not as good as last year's. The winning rate of more than 50% barely retains the eighth place in the East, which is related to the unusually strong Western powerhouse this year and the strong outburst of the little emperor LeBron James.

As a consequence of the explosion of the collective record of a bunch of strong teams in the West, more teams in the East have suffered from the fish pond.

The Cleveland Cavaliers led by the little emperor LeBron James not only did not get defeated by the strong collective strength of the West, but also had a unique record, far ahead of the rest of the league's 29 teams.

These are all reasons why the Eastern team's record has declined compared to previous years. However, this did not affect Derrick Rose's popularity in the United States, the nickname of "Windy City Rose" became more and more famous in the league, and Derrick Rose's jersey sales have ranked fourth in the league, surpassing a class of previous superstars, and it is entering the ranks of superstars.

It's a pity that coincidentally, there is an outlier like Li Shihao in the west, with a Chinese background identity, the same excellent ability to lead the team, and the average data per game is not inferior to Derrick Rose in his rookie season, and even better than a lot.

In the same way that the rookie season will lead the team to the playoffs, or in the brutal competition of the West, people want to know which of the two new generations of young guards collides together, and who will be the best one!

This season, the Timberwolves, the Thunder and the Bucks have exceeded the expectations of the media and fans, especially the rise of the Timberwolves is a little too fast, and in the past decade, there are not many rookies who can bring the team to the playoffs in their first season.

Counting the superstars of the 03 platinum generation, it seems that Cameron Anthony and Flash Wade have done this, while the little emperor LeBron James is happily brushing the data in his first season.

Therefore, the fans and the basketball media are tolerant of the rookie players in the league, and as long as the rookie players can lead the team to the playoffs in the first three seasons, they can prove that the rookie is good.

However, this year, it seems that Lee Shihao and Brandon Jennings are about to replicate this legendary feat! It was their young rookie season.

In contrast, Li Shihao's gold content is higher. Brandon Jennings is not the only core, with Bogut by his side as a helper, he is not fighting alone.

Both rookies have taken the team to the threshold of the playoffs and proven their potential.

And the Russian City Thunder are not bad, Kevin Durant is a rookie in '07 and Westbrook is a rookie in '08. One third-year, one second-year, the season is not over, and their tug-of-war for the playoffs is not over yet.

When the season is over, whether the Russian City Thunder can get the last playoff ticket is the biggest topic of the year!

The new generation of stars is blooming their own brilliance, they are not willing to hide their light and heat in the light of the Mesozoic stars, Derrick Rose, Li Shihao, Durant They are as the leaders of the new generation of stars, and then attack the superstars.

Inside the Minnesota Target Center. It was packed with media and fans who were all waiting for the Timberwolves vs. Chicago Bulls game to begin.

Chinese kid Bruce Lee vs. "Windy City Rose" Derrick Rose, the strong dialogue between the two, who can win in the end?

Although Derrick Rose has not won the league's scoring championship and other honors, most players in the league understand the strength of this kid, and even Li Shihao is well aware of Rose's offensive ability.

Rose's breakthrough was terrifying, reaching the point of being weird, and he was able to change direction without slowing down. Such a breakthrough was too much pressure on the knee, but Derrick Rose was able to withstand it without changing his face. And basically every night can perform such a wonderful breakthrough action.

Li Shihao knows very well that once Derrick Rose goes all out to attack, there are not many players in the league who can block him.

It's just too difficult to let go of an All-Star like Derrick Rose in a one-on-one matchup.

There are many teams in the league that can beat the Chicago Bulls, but there are very few teams that can beat the Chicago Bulls by relying on the strength of their stars, and most of them rely on the overall strength of the team to crush and defeat Derrick Rose.

round offensive strength in terms of strength. Derrick Rose is undoubtedly much better than Li Shihao, if the two of them fight one-on-one, to be honest, Li Shihao will not be Derrick Rose's opponent, and it is very likely that he will be blown up very badly.

Ross couldn't solve it with just one extremely sharp breakthrough. How many defensive experts in the league are helpless, and what is the way to limit Li Shihao?

However, basketball is a five-player game, which is far from being as simple as a one-on-one bullfight, at least in terms of overall strength, the Timberwolves are better than the Chicago Bulls.

Li Shihao is not as good as Derrick Rose in terms of offensive ability, but in terms of comprehensiveness, Li Shihao has to win too much, especially in terms of organizing attacks.

This season, Li Shihao's progress in this area is the greatest, after Steve Nash and Jason Kidd and other passing masters, Li Shihao's passing skills are not perfect, at least a little better.

With the passing weapon in his hand, Li Shihao will not be too inferior when facing Derrick Rose, at least when he is behind on the offensive end, he can rely on passing assists to perform and get back.

In this year's All-Star Game, Derrick Rose only scored 8 points, 4 assists and 3 steals, and Derrick Rose, as a rookie, did not get enough playing time, and even if he played, most of the ball was controlled by the superstars of the 03 generation.

Naturally, this has caused a collective resentment among Chicago Bulls fans, who are outraged that their future leader has been treated unfairly.

However, Li Shihao swiped the data in the first half of the West, which made head coach George Carr change his impression and increase his playing time.

Compared with the two, Li Shihao once again became an outlet for fans, and countless sunspots poured onto the Internet and started the "anti-Li" trend.

It's a pity that there are not many Chinese Americans in the United States, and this incident did not cause much repercussions after all, and was forcibly pressed by the alliance.

The league is counting on two young men to fight each other to earn more ratings and topicality, how can they allow some disruptive rhetoric to cause trouble.

Today's Chicago Bulls are quite similar to the Cavaliers of the little emperor LeBron James, and the team's offense mostly relies on the play of one superstar player to drive the rest of the players, so as to establish an advantage and lead the team to defeat the opponent.

Unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers in previous years, the current Bulls roster is much more reasonable than the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the depth of the roster is much deeper.

Noah: They're not comparable to the Cavaliers' CBA teammates!

Moreover, today's Derrick Rose has not reached the dominance of the little emperor LeBron James in previous years.

Tonight's game will depend on who has the better ability to lead the team between the two stars of the Timberwolves and the Chicago Bulls.

The Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls are not very good defensively, and compared to the Celtics, Spurs, Orlando Magic and other strong teams known for their defense, the Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls seem a little mediocre.

When the two teams play against each other, neither team can completely limit the rhythm of the other party.

The real test is the ability of the star to lead the rhythm, whether he can control the game in his own hands, which is the most critical factor affecting the outcome of the game.

Today's Timberwolves have a lot of offensive points and are evenly distributed, Marc Gasol can score, and Kevin Love's three-point shot, although the accuracy is not high enough, but with the advantage of high shots and difficult defense, it can still have a certain threat in the game, and no one dares to ignore the firepower of the high battery.

Brewer's cutting ability is also becoming more and more proficient, he is like a sharp knife, and he can easily disrupt the opponent's defensive layout when he enters the enemy line.

Ryan Gomez is the last offensive firepower, the young lad is transforming into a shooter, he can get a consistent shooting percentage per game, and his shooting percentage is gradually improving, which can provide a lot of offensive firepower for the team.

It can be said that the current Timberwolves are not a team that relies on Li Shihao to score alone, Li Shihao is more responsible for the team's offensive organization, as well as providing lethal firepower at critical moments.

Compared with Derrick Rose, Li Shihao's heavy responsibility is much easier.

Derrick Rose knows very well what Lee Se-ho wants tonight, and what the Minnesota Timberwolves need most at the moment is to win, one game at a time, which can allow them to get rid of the chase of the Russian City Thunder and secure the victory of the playoff ticket!

However, Derrick Rose will not let Li Shihao get his wish easily, and Rose, who was holding his breath at the All-Star Game, has obviously endured it to the limit.

He has always wanted to find an opportunity to share the victory with Li Shihao, but there are always accidents.

However, it won't be tonight, Li Shihao has no way out, Derrick Rose believes that no one will help Li Shihao to win this victory, Li Shihao can only rely on himself! (To be continued.) )
