Chapter Twenty-Eight: Montaelis's Obsession

Curry didn't dare to relax at all about Li Shihao's ball-holding offense, and his old friend had a few pounds and taels, and he knew best.

He bowed down and stood one meter in front of Li Shihao, put his hands on his knees, pretending to be relaxed, and squinted and smiled at Li Shihao while he was on defense, looking like an innocent big child.

But his position is extremely tricky, firmly blocking Li Shihao's breakthrough route, as long as Li Shihao tries to break through in an instant, he will be easily intercepted by Curry in that position.

This hand bet is that Li Shihao will not easily shoot three points, Curry clearly understands the personality of this old friend, and without absolute certainty, Li Shihao will never make an irrational decision easily.

Looking at Curry's cute face and smiling extraordinarily brightly, Li Shihao suddenly had a bad taste in his heart, and smiled playfully at Curry, and the whole person copied Curry's shooting action, and suddenly took a step back, opened up the shooting space, put on a standard jump shooting posture, and jumped into the air.

Curry was shocked, he didn't expect Li Shihao to really let go of the shot, and in a hurry, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to try to block Li Shihao's shooting sight, when Curry saw a smile on the corner of Li Shihao's mouth, Curry faintly rose in his heart for a while, oh no, fooled!

It's too late to regret at this moment, Li Shihao's body paused slightly in the air, and he stayed in the air perfectly for just a second, and then Curry saw Li Shihao's hands straight up.

"Smack"

A crisp sound sounded, and the basketball came out of his hand, with a graceful arc through the sky above the court, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

Li Shihao was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that his three points today would feel surprisingly good, and he could still hit easily under the interference of Curry's beaters.

As soon as Curry's feet landed, he hurriedly raised his hands, wanting to prove that he had not fouled, but from the perspective of Fang Cai, the referee clearly saw the moment when Curry was beating.

A crisp whistle sounded, and the referee blew Curry's foul mercilessly, and Li Shihao successfully got a 3+1 opportunity.

This time, there was no cheering in the Oracle Arena, and the Warriors fans were still a little hard to accept when they saw the scene in front of them.

However, the Chinese compatriots in the stands were excited, and they were also honored to see their hometown juniors playing so well.

In this game, many well-known celebrities in the Chinese world came to the Oracle Arena, kung fu superstar Jet Li, black Chen Jianzhou and his girlfriend Fan Weiqi, Zhang Ziyi and many other well-known figures came to the scene, wanting to see Li Shihao's demeanor on the field.

There was silence in the arena, Li Shihao smiled at Curry, easily hit a free throw, and successfully scored 3+1, free throws as one of the basic skills of basketball, he is naturally very familiar, he has worked hard in this regard, and when he was in college in New York, he often practiced sweaty in winter.

Curry was put on the spot so easily by Li Shihao, and naturally wanted to get it back in the next offense, but he didn't want the leader of the team, Monta Ellis, to suddenly say: "Stephen, give me the ball!" ”

Curry was stunned, he had to give up the idea of attacking alone, and handed over the ball, as the current leader of the team, Montaelis still has a very deep position in the team, and he wants to play alone, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

Monta Ellis dribbled the ball, looking at Li Shihao with a hint of hostility in his eyes, and he said with a hint of disdain: "Rookie, this is Oakland, there is no place for you to speak, I will let you know what the real NBA is!" ”

Li Shihao was stunned, he didn't understand why Montaelis was so hostile to him, he had never been against Montaelis before.

A cold smile crossed the corner of Monta's mouth, and he said fiercely: "Rookie, I will let you understand that you are worthless at all, and you are not worthy of the evaluation that Tang gave you!" ”

It dawned on him why Monta Ellis was so hostile to him, and it turned out that Don Nelson's proposal to use him and Curry as the core of the Warriors' future team this summer was known to him, which was undoubtedly crazy and futuristic, but it also undoubtedly pierced the young leader's heart.

As one of the main players who participated in the crazy Black Eight series the year before, Montaelis is an extremely determined person who will not change his opinion because of the outside world, this kind of person is often referred to as paranoia. Once they decide something, they won't change it easily!

Don Nelson, as the meritorious coach who led the Warriors' revival, undoubtedly has a very high status in the hearts of Monta Ellis's players, and even in the eyes of Monta Ellis, he can be said to be Don Nelson's single-handed!

Monta Ellis was a second-round pick in '05, without the glamour of a first-round pick, and was drafted by the Warriors at the end of the second round that lacked attention.

He played hard, tried hard to show himself, and even qualified to start at one point, but he still failed, thinking that he would never receive God's favor again.

But when the elder Nelson re-emerged and announced his coaching of the Golden State Warriors, a little fire burned in the young player's heart, and he was expecting a special attention from him, just a little attention!

However, to Montaelly's ecstasy, Nelson Sr. saw his talent as he had a lot of potential to tap into, and later fulfilled his promise by giving him plenty of playing time, and that season Nelson Sr. brought the young player to a unique twist, and the young scoring duo began to show his offensive talent.

At that time, he thought he was the luckiest man and was favored by God!

But Don Nelson's attempt to trade him for a first-round draft pick in the hands of the Warriors this summer has undoubtedly left the talented young guard feeling a sense of loss, and he can't understand why he is not as good as a league-proven Chinese rookie in the eyes of head coach Don Nelson.

He had to prove himself! It was a decision he made before the start of this game!

At the beginning of this game, he saw Li Shihao shoot the first three-pointer in the opening game in the face of Curry's defense and caused Curry's beaters to foul, and after successfully playing 3+1, Monta Ellis couldn't help but burn a wave of anger in his heart, and he couldn't accept that Li Shihao was so proud on his home court.

He must make Li Shihao understand that he is not worthy of Don Nelson's attention to him at all, and he wants to defeat and even destroy this rookie in front of head coach Don Nelson in this game!

This alliance belongs to the strong! No matter how potential and talented you are, as long as you haven't grown up, you have the possibility of being strangled in the cradle.

Montaellis, who has been on the bench all the way to the present, knows this clearly, he has seen too many rookies like Lee Se-ho, who are talented and praised by the outside world, but they often end up flashing away like a shooting star, burning their own light and then disappearing into endless darkness.

In Monta Ellis's eyes, Li Shihao has such characteristics, the confrontation is not strong, and the physical fitness of the yellow race is destined to make it difficult for this Chinese rookie to take on big responsibilities.

Monta Ellis's breakthrough speed was very fast, and in the face of Li Shihao's defense, he easily changed the frequency of the dribble, and passed Li Shihao with a very fast step, and the whole person rushed into the basket.

Lee Se-ho tried to chase after Montaelis, but was blocked by Bidrins on the inside outside of the paint area, and Montaelis was only one step away from the basket!

There is a blazing flame in his eyes, nothing can stop him, he will use his actions tonight to tell everyone that he is the leader of the Warriors, Stephen Curry is not good, Li Shihao is even worse, in the league's guard group, he is still the most dazzling one!

Montaelis lowered his right hand to the ball, dodging Lefou's block, and made a soft-touch layup that put the orange elf into the basket smoothly.

Two points were scored, one person broke through into the inside line, forced a single score, and a lonely heroic scoring performance made the atmosphere in the Oracle Arena instantly high.

When Montaelis landed, he punched his chest and roared angrily.

"Almost!" Lefu gasped, a little unwilling, the timing of his block had just been mastered, as long as the direction of the shot was more accurate, predicting the trajectory of Monta Ellis's layup, he would be able to contribute a hot hot pot hat!

Now, it has become one of Montaellis's background boards, which makes him a little depressed!

"Don't be in a hurry, play steadily, and defend them!" Li Shihao was not discouraged by the ball, he understood that the point guard, as the brain of the team, must always maintain his calm and sober thinking.

How to lead the team to victory is what he should do!

McHale clasped his hands in front of his chest, stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Bruce, hand over Montaelis to Brewer, control the pace of the game, and stabilize the situation!" ”

Li Shihao nodded, and took advantage of a gap in the interior to pass the basketball to Al Jefferson on the inside, allowing Al to score singles.

Al Jefferson's low-post singles skills are still okay, and in the face of Biedrins' defense, Al Jefferson easily hit a board toss and hit a two-point shot.

Biedrins can't limit Al Jefferson on the offensive end at all in this regard!
