Chapter 21 is like a rainbow

Nash looked into the distance through the beautifully carved wooden window, and his tone was a little embarrassed: "I was friends with Stephen's father, and my rookie season was miserable, and it was under those circumstances that I got to know Dyer, he has a very good temperament, as a marksman, he told me how to adjust my shot when I was questioned, and it was in that situation that I formed an indissoluble bond with the Curry family." ”

"And Stephen, as the son of Dyer, the star he admires the most in addition to his father, is actually me, which I didn't expect, but this kid's physical fitness is not outstanding, he was able to become a star player in high school, all because the high school league competition did not reach enough intensity, when he graduated from high school, he was disappointed, no famous school was willing to throw an olive branch to him."

"The most disappointing thing for him was that Coach K of Duke University gave up on him because he was too thin!"

"At that time, he was depressed all day, and he felt that his father was a successful NBA player, and he couldn't even enter the college league, which had been on his mind for too long!"

"Stephen was very much like me at that time, I was rejected by dozens of universities, and I told him about my experience and hoped that he would not give up the place of basketball in his heart!"

"The day before he left for Davidson Academy, I told him that you have a natural talent, and if everybody questions your defense, then use your offense to break them down, whether it's scoring or passing!"

Nash's words were calm and natural, and he brushed aside the years when he was questioned, but Li Shihao understood that the past hit Nash hard, but this thin Canadian still bloomed his dazzling light and became the soul leader of the immortal totem in Phoenix!

"When everybody questions your defense, then you use your offense to break them down, whether it's scoring or passing!" Li Shihao muttered this sentence in a low voice, how much faith power is contained in this sentence!

Li Shihao vaguely saw the invincible Suns during the two seasons when Nash won the MVP, the attack power was the best in the league, and the bombardment came out, and the mercury-like fast attack picture!

Xiao Si interrupted with a smile: "Okay, Bruce, stop clinging to Steve's words, this guy will always look like this philosophical, this restaurant is a Chinese restaurant with a lot of characteristics in Phoenix, hurry up and try it!" ”

Li Shihao smiled and nodded, and began to enjoy the food with Nash.

…………

In the evening, when the night of Phoenix covered the whole city, the American Airlines Center was full, filled with many Suns fans, and the shouts and cheers of all people resounded in the arena, and Li Shihao, who played away in the NBA for the first time, couldn't help but be infected by this home atmosphere.

Is this the Suns fans that Nash has infected with his offensive art?

The warm atmosphere of the fans tonight was something Li Shihao had never seen in Minnesota, and there were even many Canadian stars on the sidelines.

Avril, Jim Carrey, James Cameron and other celebrities watched the pre-game activities leisurely on the sidelines, looking interested.

What made Li Shihao a little speechless was that Justin Bieber's baby also came, and after seeing Li Shihao standing in the Timberwolves' half of the court practicing three points, Justin was unwilling to be lonely and shouted on the sidelines: "Bruce, I'm optimistic about you!" If you play well in this game, I will consider being your fan! ”

The frivolous tone between the words couldn't be concealed, and as soon as Justin Bieber's words were shouted, they were recorded in a small book by many media reporters around him, which made Justin feel embarrassed and glanced at Li Shihao proudly.

Li Shihao was a little speechless, Justin Bieber's private life is wonderful, this baby doesn't care about his off-field image at all, his ability to toss is really not small, if he becomes his own fan, it is really a terrible thing!

Soon the game starts and the referee blows the whistle to kick off!

On the Timberwolves' side, Love and Smalls battled for the ball, and as expected, Smalls easily dialed the ball to his own half. Although he was injured, he still beat Kevin Love in bouncing.

Nash took the ball and controlled the half court, and in the face of Li Shihao's defense like a big enemy, Nash chuckled and said, "Bruce, take it easy, don't be too nervous!" ”

After speaking, a quick breakthrough to the right, causing Li Shihao to quickly make up for the defense to the right, Nash's slender arm took the ball and shook it gently, the ball accurately took an arc, hit the ground and passed to the hands of Xiao Si on the inside line, Xiao Si roared angrily after receiving the ball, jumped up directly, and angrily deducted one on the head of Al Jefferson, scoring two points for the team to open.

The audience suddenly burst into fierce cheers, Nash nodded at Li Shihao with a smile, and quickly turned back to defense.

Li Shihao recalled Nash's passing route just now, secretly analyzed, and found that Nash's understatement pass was not to be underestimated, pinched the gap in the Timberwolves' route, and after deceiving himself to make up for the defense, he easily passed the ball to Xiao Si's hands, and this passing skill has reached the realm.

Li Shihao has a fighting spirit in his heart, he will never give up the game because his opponent is too strong, and in the face of an opponent like Nash, his condition is getting better and better.

Since I can't keep you on the defensive end, then I'll compete on offense, as long as I bite the score tightly, there is still hope of victory in the final quarter of the game!

After exchanging the ball, Li Shihao faced Nash's defense, easily made a mid-range jumper, and easily threw the basketball into the net with a soft hand.

Nash smiled helplessly, the defensive end had always been his weakness, and he was used to it.

In the next four minutes of the game, Nash began to assist his teammates one after another, and one by one relaxed and comfortable passes perfectly connected the Suns' inside and outside, and the Suns, who began to attack mode, fired again and again, and began to cover the firepower suppression in the half!

In the face of such powerful firepower, the Timberwolves could only rely on Li Shihao's organizational offense to barely bite the score.

In just four minutes, the Suns went on a 13-point offensive spree, while the Timberwolves only scored eight points, five points behind!

McHale quickly stood up from the dugout and called a timeout.

Mike's face is a little unpleasant, and it is a bad sign that the Suns have such a good offensive touch at the beginning of this game.

He looked at Li Shihao and said, "Bruce, is there any pressure to face Nash?" I need you to bite the score and interrupt the Suns' Nash rhythm as much as possible! ”

Li Shihao smiled bitterly and nodded, he could only do his best, now that the Suns team has gained momentum, it is not easy to suppress them.

After the pause, Li Shihao improved his concentration on the defensive end, when Nash passed the ball to Jason Richardson, Li Shihao suddenly reached out and cut the ball, stealed the ball, quickly dribbled the ball to counterattack the opposite basket, and scored an easy layup.

However, at this moment, the Suns' offensive firepower is too strong, and they feel hot and hot, and they can cause great damage to the Timberwolves inside and outside.

Li Shihao stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, shouting to his teammates: "Steady, defend, don't be impatient, freeze them with defense!" ”

Under the excellent performance in the first few games, the players in the Timberwolves team have a certain trust in the strength of Li Shihao, a rookie, and even Al Jefferson, who began to resist Li Shihao, also has a trusting attitude towards Li Shihao's strength.

At the beginning of this season, Li Shihao's contribution to the team is not insignificant, as a rookie, he can blend the team together in a short period of time, which is undoubtedly extremely rare among rookie players!

As the game progressed, the Suns' firepower was not cut and they still maintained a strong desire to attack.

After the first quarter of the game, the score of 32:25 made Li Shihao a little helpless.

Although they tried their best to catch up with the score, the Suns were always able to control the score gap to about 7 points, which was a huge blow to the team's morale.

The lion never rushes to swallow its prey in one bite, and taking the time to enjoy the hunt will make the prey even more crazy!

After the start of the second quarter of the game, the Suns did not let Steve Nash play immediately, but instead took out a bench lineup led by Grant Hill to continue the firepower.

Nash is now over 35 years old, and how to maintain good form is something that the team should consider.

Despite this, the firepower on the Suns' bench continued the hot hand of the main players, and the Timberwolves did not reduce the score under the efforts to catch up, but gradually pulled away.

Li Shihao looked at the situation and said to head coach McHale: "Head, let me play, the team needs effective offense and defense now!" ”

McHale frowned, he wasn't unaware of the current grim situation, he opened his mouth and asked: "Bruce, is your physical strength okay, can you hold on, the game still needs you in the end!" ”

Li Shihao nodded, his eyes firm and powerful.

McHale sighed, he was not an academic coach, he couldn't come up with tactics to deal with the situation in time, and what he could do now was to rely on the player's own ability!

After Li Shihao came on the court, he quickly found the offensive flaw of the Suns, caused a break, quickly counterattacked with the ball, and in the face of Grant Hill's quick arrival to make up the defense, he dribbled behind the ball with his right hand, and passed the basketball to the hands of Brewer on the outside, who easily hit the empty three-point shot.

After the initial freeze, the Timberwolves' shooting guard has warmed up a bit, and a three-pointer successfully helped the team pull back the three-pointer.

Li Shihao's expression is serious, facing the imposing Suns team, how to grab a victory has become his most difficult problem now!
