Chapter 30 The Enemy of Life

"My God, Monta is not acting like an ordinary second-round pick. What he is showing now is the offensive performance of a top shooting guard in the league. He has completely transformed scoring into an art. !"

When Monta Ellis scored 5 consecutive points in five minutes of the third quarter, game commentator Jeff Van Gundy gasped.

"His performance tonight was completely insane, he kept driving to the basket, kept attacking the inside of the Timberwolves, look at the inside of the Timberwolves, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love have already got four fouls , let me look at Monta Ellis's score now, he has scored 37 points now, he feels hot and can always put the basketball in at the right time, that is like eating and drinking for him tonight Generally easy!"

When Jeff Van Gundy watched Monta Ellis keep attacking the Timberwolves inside and hit the center of the net through difficult layups, the former Rockets coach's eyes were full of admiration.

Monta Ellis's scoring method is very unique. He always uses the strength of the rebound on the backboard to throw the rotating basketball into the basket. This method is extremely effective when facing the inside defense. The trick was slowly explored by Monta Ellis. If Monta Ellis had this trick at the time of the black eight in 07, the Mavericks would have retreated faster.

Charles Barkley glanced at Jeff Van Gundy with some disdain in his eyes. He interrupted Jeff Van Gundy's chatter: "NO! I don't think his performance can be called the top shooting guard in the league. He is far from this rank. There is still a long way to go, this eruption tonight is just a coincidence!"

Charles is not optimistic about Monta Ellis. He has a shadow on the position of shooting guard. At the beginning, he had several chances to win the championship, but he was destroyed by the shooting guard named Michael Jordan. Even if that person is his long-time friend, he can't let go of it.

In this performance, Monta Ellis really exploded. He continued to hit hard, break through, and score mid-range shots. He fully demonstrated his offensive methods in this game.

However, Charles Barkley still stubbornly believes that Monta Ellis' performance tonight is still not considered the league's top shooting guard. The deepest reason may not even be clear to him. Jordan has perfectly interpreted the position of shooting guard. The meaning is that, as Michael Jordan's friend and opponent for many years, Barkley finds it difficult to accept that any shooting guard can easily get the title of top shooting guard.

"Monta Ellis' state is indeed very good tonight, but this does not mean that he has entered the ranks of the best shooting guards. His offensive methods are still not stable and efficient. The outbreak of this game may be just It's just because of the effect of the Timberwolves' defensive system and the conspicuous results, if you encounter a strong defensive team in the league, I think it will be difficult for Monta to perform tonight!"

"And I think Kobe will do better than him in this aspect!" After Charles Barkley said, his expression was a little serious, without the usual hippie smile, and he was quite touched.

Jeff Van Gundy looked at Barkley in surprise. He didn't expect Barkley to say such words. You know, Barkley has always held a black fan attitude towards Kobe in the league, often criticizing Kobe's shots and his actions. On the issue of possession of the ball, it was rare to see Charles Barkley praise Kobe's scoring methods tonight!

Jeff Van Gundy smiled and didn't worry about it. He was not disgusted with Li Shihao, a rookie. He was willing to coach the Rockets because of the little giant Yao Ming. After several years of coaching career, he had always held expectations for Yao Ming.

He wanted to see the little giant he had trained replace him to fulfill his dream of a championship. However, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season this season, which made him very sad. He loved his house and hated him, and Jeff Van Gundy still had a good impression of Li Shihao.

Since the start of the new season, he has often watched the Timberwolves' games. He wants to see how this Chinese rookie who comes from the same ancient oriental country as China Yao can perform!
To his surprise, this young man's playing style is extremely mature. He is gradually imprinting his brand on the Timberwolves, and the entire Timberwolves are gradually becoming stronger!

Jeff Van Gundy pulled his suit and tie, coughed, picked up the technical statistics, and wanted to check the data performance of the players of the two teams in this game. When his eyes moved to the column of Li Shihao, he let out a sigh:
"It's unbelievable, Bruce will gain a new record in his career in this game!"

Charles Barkley's big eyes showed a bit of curiosity when he heard the words. He stuck his head on Jeff Van Gundy's technical statistics file, and his huge head moved restlessly on Van Gundy's clean and straight suit. The audience in front of the TV burst into laughter.

Charles took a look, opened and closed his big mouth, and exclaimed: "Is Bruce going to get his first triple-double? Unbelievable!"

13 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. This is the data that Li Shihao handed over in the three quarters. The efficiency is unbelievable!

In the three quarters of the game, Li Shihao did not abuse his right to shoot. Instead, he distributed the ball reasonably. In the first two quarters, he continued to pass the ball to the inside line, which gradually opened up the inside line of the Timberwolves. When they charged inside, the Chinese rookie gradually shifted his offensive focus to the outside.

Constantly assisting Brewer and Roberts to shoot from the outside, but his own strong shots are very few. The 8-point data is basically all open shots. This performance has created a situation where the Timberwolves lead the Warriors by [-] points.

Monta Ellis' performance in this game is not bad. His scoring performance undoubtedly gave the team a great help. It can be said that if he hadn't maintained uninterrupted offensive firepower in this game, then left The Warriors would be an irreparable fiasco.

In this game, Curry made 11 of 3 shots from the three-point line. With a sigh of relief, if Monta Ellis falls into a state of cold hands, then the Warriors will inevitably encounter a scoring drought.

Failure will be an irreversible result!
A cold light flashed in Li Shihao's eyes. There were 2 minutes and 47 seconds left in the third quarter. He only needed to give the Warriors one final blow, and what awaited the Timberwolves would be an easy victory!
Then, it's time for him to fire!

Li Shihao was controlling the ball at the top of the arc. Facing his friend Curry's marking, he smiled, lowered his body's center of gravity, changed his rhythm in an instant, and quickly broke through to the right. It was fast, but Curry was a little caught off guard, and was suddenly broken through the defense.

Facing Li Shihao who suddenly broke into the penalty area, Biedrins's face flashed a stern look, and he rushed over quickly, trying to block Li Shihao's attack with a big hand covering the sky.

Strangely, Li Shihao jumped up in the air, his body curled up in the narrow space under the basket, but his hands holding the ball gradually stretched out, his white and powerful arms bumped into Biedrins' big block-blocking hand, his wrist lightly With a light flick, he used a force of his wrist to accurately send the basketball into the basket.

2+1!Biedrins stood there in a daze. Facing the referee's penalty, he couldn't believe it. He had already blocked the shot in such a timely manner. Why was this yellow-skinned kid still able to send the basketball into the basket?
The entire Oracle Arena became a little quiet, and then radical fans began to boo Li Shihao. They were dissatisfied with the team's rookie performing his "poor" scoring skills in their home court.

Li Shihao listened to the boos all over the court, with a slight smile on his face, he made a free throw steadily, adding a point to the team.

He will never stop his footsteps because of doubts from the outside world, that will only make him more eager to be stronger!
In the next game, Li Shihao launched a personal attack and began to lead the team to open the score in his own way!

Facing Curry's defense from outside the three-point line, he suddenly shot a cold arrow and made a three-point shot. With a soft touch, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and he made his second three-pointer of the game!
Faced with Monta Ellis' defense change, Li Shihao hit with his back, swayed Monta Ellis' block, turned around and made a mid-range jumper with a fadeaway, the basketball hit the basket and scored two points.

Breakthrough into the basket, with the cover of Kevin Love, a folding layup easily hit two points.

He intercepted the pass from Monta Ellis in the middle of the game, quickly broke into the basket, counterattacked quickly with lightning speed, and succeeded in a graceful gliding dunk!

…………

When the third quarter ended, the Timberwolves led the Warriors by 104:81. The huge gap of 23 points made the faces of the Warriors' main players a little hazy. They couldn't believe that this was their performance tonight.

This is the Oracle Arena in Oakland, the home of the Golden State Warriors, but they were easily broken by their opponents here. They will reap a disastrous defeat at their own home tonight!
There is nothing worse than this!
In the ensuing fourth quarter, the head coach of the Warriors, Don Nelson, replaced the main lineup instead of the main lineup. They gave up the game, and the [-]-point gap made the game basically lose suspense.

Old Nelson saw that the team's main players were somewhat frustrated, so he stopped pressing, and simply began to adjust the substitute lineup.

He didn't say anything to Monta Ellis, who performed well tonight, but let Stephen Curry sit next to him, looking at Li Shihao, who was being replaced, with an indescribable light in his cloudy eyes.

"Stephen, have you seen Bruce's performance in this game?"

"Coach, he played very well, but I didn't play as I should. I failed today, but I won't give up!" Curry squeezed the white towel in his hand and gritted his teeth.

He and Li Shihao have been friends for many years. He recognized Li Shihao. Now Li Shihao is ahead of him, but he won't allow himself to give up. He will definitely catch up with Li Shihao!

"Stephen, he is a real point guard, he will be your enemy for life!"
