Chapter 119: The crisis is approaching

Li Shihao pinched the ball in his hand, took a deep breath, and looked directly at Conley in front of him.

He put away all the contempt, this kid is not simple, he is a difficult character to deal with, although this kid's passing ability can only be regarded as the middle of the league in the league, but he has the most essential qualities of a point guard.

He is willing to share the ball!

This is seen from the goal just now, Li Shihao clearly saw a firm belief in Conley's eyes, that belief was burning, Li Shihao believed that such a person is definitely not a person who easily admits defeat!

When Conley forcibly started the breakthrough, even if he thought of the possibility of a feint, Li Shihao still chose to defend his breakthrough, but he didn't want it to be a deception.

“Fake”

Li Shihao whispered this word repeatedly in his mouth, and his eyes flashed with bright brilliance.

Eyes can't deceive people, if he encounters the right opportunity, that kid will definitely not give up the opportunity to attack, he will definitely make a decisive move and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Li Shihao looked at Conley, who was smiling lightly in front of him, and a strange thought suddenly rose in his heart, will this kid become a first-class point guard in the league?

The guard position is one of the most competitive positions in the league, especially the number one position, which is too crowded, and in an era when big men are extremely scarce, the competitive pressure on small men has become more and more suffocating.

What team doesn't hold a potential big man in his hands like a treasure?

On the other hand, how many young and immature little players break into this business league every year and fight hard in this highly competitive position.

Now, Li Shihao is surprisingly optimistic about the shy young man in front of him, just by intuition!

He is not tall, although he is fast, but among so many No. 1 players in the league, he is still mediocre, and his passing ability is average, not outstanding.

He was drafted by the Grizzlies with the fourth overall pick in '07 and is now in his third season, but he is still as low-key and unobtrusive as his first season.

Durant is about to win the scoring title, and Derrick Rose and Westbrook, who are one year later than him, are also famous, and they have accumulated a large number of fans all over the United States.

But Conley, who smiled as gently as the big boy next door, was still so low-key, looking like an ordinary starting point guard of a team, and there was nothing conspicuous in the crowd.

That instinct told him that Conley was the same kind of person as he was, and that he was essentially a man of firm conviction like himself, undefeated by any difficulties and obstacles.

Such a person will not be afraid of any challenge, and sooner or later he will complete his transformation and enter the ranks of the league's top point guards.

Maybe not necessarily a legend, maybe not a championship, but this guy is definitely one of the most needed pieces of the puzzle!

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Conley's eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he still had a calm and breezy expression on his face, but a strong fighting spirit rose uncontrollably in his heart!

"Bruce, this is Memphis, if you want to take away a victory, you have to defeat me first!"

This game, the Grizzlies have been preparing for a long time, since the team management traded Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis has been ridiculed all over the United States, and when it comes to the Grizzlies, everyone will think of a stupid and stupid Grizzlies.

A print media outlet in Los Angeles even published an ironic cartoon of a gentleman in a crisp suit holding out his cane to tease a large grizzly bear with a stupid drawing.

And the provocative object is actually a No. 16 Lakers jersey!

The moral of the painting couldn't be clearer, with the Angelenos getting the most out of the deal while still brazenly mocking the Memphis fans who fell victim.

As a Grizzlies player, Conley can't pretend he can't see this, he can't turn a blind eye.

In tonight's game against the Timberwolves, the Los Angeles print media once again released their stupid pregame predictions, and they once again mocked innocent Memphis fans.

They think the Memphis Grizzlies will be bitten by the vicious Timberwolves to the point that there are no bones left!

There's nothing more humiliating to be a Memphis Grizzlies player, and all the Grizzlies are holding their breath that they're bound to defend their victory at home tonight!

"Chase out the Minnesotans!"

"This is Memphis! Grizzly Territory! ”

…………

Quite a few loyal Memphis fans held up their homemade placards and waved them in an attempt to cheer on the home Grizzlies players!

The atmosphere at home is gradually rising, and many fans have even taken out their anger at the Los Angeles media ridicule on the Timberwolves players.

In the entire FedEx Arena, the momentum was rising, and Li Shihao could clearly feel that Kevin Lefour's movements were inevitably sluggish, and they were shocked by the momentum behind their backs.

They've been affected by the Grizzlies' home court, and the pace of the dribble is starting to get messy, and their shots are starting to get a little rushed, and they're starting to be less rational in their timing.

The Timberwolves are finally going into a scoring drought, and the adverse reactions that have not been shown in the first three away games have been vividly played at the moment, and all the adverse factors have accumulated until tonight, and finally exploded!

Lee Se-ho passed the ball to Gomez on the outside, who was in the open position, and there was no Grizzlies player on the side, in this case, the outside projection was actually short, the basketball was smashed directly high on the edge of the basket, and the rebound was easily grabbed by Zach Randolph.

The latter was thrown to Conley, who ran wildly all the way, and the Timberwolves didn't have time to quickly return to defense, so they had to watch Conley hit an easy layup.

Li Shihao glanced at his teammates around him, and saw that Gomez, who was not very firm-minded, was even in a trance, and the game was getting more and more unfavorable.

Li Shihao held back the eagerness in his heart, he understood that the last thing he could not mess with at this time was him, he was the leader of the team, at this time, if he messed up, the Timberwolves would really have a fiasco here!

Li Shihao clapped his hands, attracting the attention of his teammates, he looked around at everyone and shouted: "Steady, don't worry, look at the score above your head, it's only eight points behind now, strengthen the defense, let's slowly chase the score back!" ”

When they heard this, they raised their eyes and looked at the bright red score above their heads, 43:35!

It's only eight points behind, why did it look like it was going to fail just now?

Lefu reined in their minds, calmed down their troubles, and began to focus on the defensive end.

Conley slotted into the Timberwolves' restricted area and made a very covert ground-hitting pass that was long to Al Jefferson on the side.

This ball is excellent in terms of timing and passing angle, but Li Shihao has already predicted Conley's passing intention, and directly kills from the side, intercepting the pass halfway.

The moment he saw Li Shihao complete the steal, Brewer immediately spread his feet and rushed to the opposite half.

Li Shihao threw it to Brewer, and the basketball pass angle was a little high, and it flew directly to the top of Brewer's head.

As if he had cooperated many times, Brewer jumped high, grabbed the ball above his head, and smashed it directly into the frame!

“BOOM――”

Brewer looked up to the sky and roared, and his right hand slammed his chest fiercely, the momentum was amazing!
