Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Way I Ended the Game (Part I)
Sometimes, in order to win the game, players have to sacrifice something, such as outside evaluation, personal data, and even more, for Li Shihao, these are not even important, what he needs to break is his long-standing belief in basketball.
The old footage of the Magic gave him his first fantasy of this position, and he realized for the first time the charm of the point guard in this position; In the finals of 01, that person faced the Lakers OK combination in full swing, and used his own breakthroughs to break through the offense again and again, completing his obsession with basketball. In 04, the grassroots player led the invincible army of Motor City to the finals, facing the gorgeous F4 Lakers, he used his unpretentious style of play to cleanly defeat the Lakers 4:1, shattering the Los Angeles people's championship dream......
Now, it's his turn to be the centerpiece, and he needs to step up and prove his ability to finish the game in his own way!
Chris Paul quickly dribbled to the top three-point position of the arc and shot a three-pointer with his hand, and Brewer, who was caught off guard, could only watch the basketball fly into the air, and a pair of long arms could only interfere with the vision.
"Huh!"
The basketball landed firmly in the net bag, and there was a splash of nets, and Paul's hand picked up, and Cory Brewer was no longer able to effectively block him.
Brewer passed the ball to Lee Se-ho and smiled at him, now is the time for the core of the team to step up.
Li Shihao took the ball, quickly changed direction, changed the rhythm, shook off Peja's defense, and rushed into the penalty area, David West hurried over to make up for the defense, stretched out his long arm to try to block.
In the narrow penalty area, Li Shihao seems to have returned to the days when he first played, the same scoring difficulty, the same defensive suffocation, but no one could stop the self at that time!
Looking up at the basket, he threw his right hand, found a gap from the crowd, avoided David West's block, threw the basketball steadily, and crossed a high and narrow parabola over the penalty area, and after the basketball reached the highest point, it lost all momentum and fell into the net bag.
The score was recovered, and at 83-85, the Timberwolves continued to lead by a narrow two-point margin.
Chris Paul's pupils shrank slightly, staring at Li Shihao, his expression flashed a little complicated, in fact, he had a good impression of this Chinese rookie, but they were in the same position, and the Chinese kid's excellent performance in his rookie season was destined to be ordinary.
He could be the biggest rival in his future career, just like Derrick Rose......
And what Chris Paul needs to do is to use his own ability to defeat Li Shihao, and use his strength to break down the psychological defense of the Chinese kid, so that he can have a shadow of failure, this is the best way!
Fight to Victory! There is more to the basketball court than just competing skills, as a star from Wake Forest, Chris Paul's psychological level is not much worse than Duncan's!
"It seems that the game is about to enter the climax, and the aces of the two teams will enter the showdown, which will make the ticket price worth it this time!" Charles Barkley smiled, his eyes full of excitement, as if he had seen a beautiful woman.
There's nothing more exciting than a star-to-star matchup, especially heads-up in the same position, where the outcome of the game is prioritized over the individual abilities of the players, and it doesn't get much more exciting!
????“ Yes, however, the Chinese kid didn't look restrained at all, he still had a cold expression on his face, as if nothing could interfere with him, it seemed that this would be an extremely fierce matchup, I really wanted to know which of the two point guard stars would win! Kenny Smith also smiled and said that no one would be unhappy that there was a star duel in the game, which was tantamount to watching a duel between knights!
Byron Scott, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't sit still, so he replaced Peja and brought on the team's veteran James Posey.
When it comes to the best defensive role players in the league, you can name a number of them: Bruce Bowen, Ragha Bell, Ruben Patterson, Sean Battier, ......
But you can't forget one person, James Posey, the winner of two championship rings. He is one of the league's veritable championship puzzles.
The Heat's championship in the 05-06 season made everyone realize the name "Posey", he is "Mr. June"!
The Miamins traded James Posey that year, and they were looking to win the championship to see the veteran who was so strong that it didn't disappoint them.
James Posey contributed to Miami's first championship trophy, with the humble black player averaging less than 28 minutes per game to contribute seven. 3 points and 5. 7 rebounds, 42% three-point shooting rate is the first for the Heat.
Whenever the game is deadlocked, James Posey can always get up from the bench and save the team with his three-point shot, and many fans in the league still remember that the last game of the 06 Finals was James Posey who completely ended the Dallas people's dream of winning the championship with a fatal three-pointer with 3 minutes left before the end of the game.
James Posey did not have Uncle Bao's "unscrupulous means" on the defensive end, but relied on his veteran experience and accurate judgment to carry out targeted defense. He can even defend a power forward who is 3 inches taller than him when he doesn't have a physical advantage, and no offensive player in the league can take his defense lightly with the ball.
???? Chris Paul dribbled the ball steadily across the halfcourt, watched as the inside West got stuck in his position, and reached out to him for the ball.
Li Shihao saw this out of the corner of his eye, and he was concerned about it, and sure enough, Paul gave up going it alone this time and passed the basketball to David West under the basket.
After David West received the ball, he began to hit Kevin Love with his back, Li Shihao squinted at James Posey beside him, and saw that he and David West looked at each other, and there was some understanding in his heart.
Lin Fei inadvertently turned sideways, making way for a gap between James Posey and the basket, David West really turned over and made a jumper, and Kevin Love reached out to try to block.
David West, however, switched the ball to a pass in an instant, and the ball shot straight through the wall to James Posey outside the box.
James Posey was about to catch the ball and shoot, but he didn't want a yellow arm to appear in the air and block the ball's path.
"Damn it!" James Posey scolded angrily, he understood that his tacit understanding with David West had been seen through.
Li Shihao cut off the ball and shouted, "Attack!" Brewer responded, and the basketball passed to Brewer.
Although Cory Brewer was a little empty in physical strength, he still went down as fast as a lightning bolt and hit the basketball with an easy layup.
