Chapter 2 Twenty Seven
Li Shihao looked at Frank Vogel's blue eyes and felt the latter's heavy trust. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I understand what I should do at this time. The team needs me now!"
The head coach Frank Vogel showed a smile on his face. He nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Li Shihao's shoulder lightly, suddenly seemed to think of the heavy pressure on his proud disciple, and slowly withdrew his hand, no longer speech.
Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel sighed cryptically after Li Shihao returned to play. Li Shihao has accomplished a miracle feat like a dark horse this season, leading last season's weak team to the stage of the playoffs. It certainly surprised many people.
But who would have thought that he is still a 22-year-old young man. Even in the US federal law, he is only a young man who has just grown up for more than a year. He needs to learn too much. Seems too cruel for him!
"Three-pointers, now that we are behind, we can only rely on three-pointers to chase points, and at the same time we must use tenacious defense to stabilize the situation." Li Shihao observed the situation on the field and thought silently in his heart.
At the same time, Li Shihao glanced at the Mavericks center Dampier who was firmly stuck behind Marc Gasol. The latter was looking angry, obviously not in a good mood. Visky and Jason Terry's shooting touches are hot, and I'm afraid the situation will be very bad.
Although the current leading result has saved Mavericks center Dampier from being criticized, it has already annoyed this blue-collar insider who claims to be the second center in the West. Er and Kevin Love, two brats who are so stubborn, can't even grab a rebound. It is undoubtedly a shameful thing for him, and it makes him feel ashamed.
Li Shihao looked at Dampier thoughtfully, and then he understood that Mavericks center Dampier may be a breakthrough point. If he uses fouls to make the latter fall into a foul crisis, or even beat him down, I am afraid that the Mavericks' inside defense It immediately drops a notch.
Thinking of this, Li Shihao's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.
Mavericks center Dampier is just a blue-collar, but he was able to get a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions because of his excellent defensive skills, which is enough to make up for Nowitzki's gap at the basket when he pulls out to shoot.
Although Mavericks owner Cuban has always spent a lot of money on team building, he is not stupid. An inside player like Dampier who has excellent defensive ability and is willing to do dirty work like a substitute under the basket is not expensive at all. Low, after all, this is an era when big men are scarce.
The Timberwolves' lineup changed, and Dakomilicic replaced Kevin Love, who could have provided some three-point firepower.
Li Shihao understands the thoughts of head coach Frank Vogel. At this time, he and Ryan Gomez are enough for the three-point firepower, and a big man with excellent footwork is needed to attack the Mavericks' inside fortress. Cic's skill is not bad, and Marc Gasol's partner is also stronger than the Mavericks' Nowitzki + Dampier.
After the change of the lineup, the effect was really different. Li Shihao not only fired from the outside, but also fed Milicic and Marc Gasol again and again. The inside of the Timberwolves was instantly strengthened. Some are overwhelmed.
Although Dampier's defensive ability is excellent, but facing the joint attack of Marc Gasol and Milicic, he soon fell into a situation where two fists were hard to beat and four-handed, and he began to be stretched.
Especially Darko Milicic, this substitute boy became a surprise soldier of the Timberwolves as soon as he came on the court. When the Mavericks focused on Marc Gasol, Milicic got more offensive opportunities. Whenever he gets the ball, with Marc Gasol on the screen, he can always
Get a chance to play one-on-one with Mavericks center Dampier.
Dakomilicic, who has excellent footwork, played Dampier with ease and ease. He not only made three consecutive attacks with hooks and turnaround jump shots, but also made Mavericks center Dampier a foul and scored a 2. +1 chance.
The situation suddenly turned around. After the Timberwolves replaced Love and joined Milicic, they completed the internal upgrade in an instant, and the Mavericks' internal defense immediately became anxious.
Dakomilicic is very smart. He spent an unpleasant rookie period in the Pistons. Now, after going through many teams, he came to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was finally reused, which naturally made him cherish this hard-won Chance.
He clearly sees his own position. He and Kevin Love are at power forwards at the same time, and their positions overlap, but their effects on the field cannot overlap. Otherwise, what awaits him is probably a trade.
Kevin Love can bring stable and reliable rebounds, and can bring a certain amount of three-point firepower. Once the high-position fort is pulled out, it is a point that the enemy cannot ignore.
Dak Milicic saw his opportunity from it, the ability to attack inside, this is what the Timberwolves lack!
My inside footsteps are already excellent, and I have a good foundation before. Now as long as I work hard in this area, I can bring a stronger inside attack ability to the Timberwolves. Based on this alone, I am afraid that Frank Vogel will Will not put himself on the bench in the playoffs.
Sure enough, Dakomirisic made the right bet. From the previous few games, head coach Frank Vogel saw the improvement of his inside offensive ability and placed him in an important position in the playoffs.
Dakomilicic, who got the chance to play, naturally rallied and hit the basket. Facing the blue-collar insider Dampier, Dakomilicic was just like Marc Gasol, full of dissatisfaction. 03 The second place in the platinum generation, I don't even have an annual salary of tens of millions, but you, a blue-collar worker, can get it, why?
However, as Dakomilicic played more times inside, the Mavericks gradually began to shift their defensive attention to the inside, and even Nowitzki did not dare to easily pull out long shots.
After all, there is no such thing as a long-range shot with a high shooting rate at the basket. If you don't defend the inside and exchange blood with the Timberwolves, the Dallas Mavericks will always suffer.
However, no one noticed that Li Shihao had secretly hit three three-pointers. He made 5 of 3 shots in the first half. It was obvious that his three-pointers had become hot, and his murderous intent had already emerged.
