Chapter 186 Against the Peak "Queen Bee"
Chapters 2 and [-] against the peak "Queen Bee"
There are still six days before the end of the regular season, and the teams that hope to sprint for the playoffs have exerted great momentum at this moment and started the last fight.
After the Timberwolves beat the Golden State Warriors, they rose to seventh in the Western Conference rankings, successfully overtaking the San Antonio Spurs and becoming the new seventh in the Western Conference.
Next, the Timberwolves only need to ensure that their wins continue, more than the San Antonio Spurs.
The San Antonio Spurs are very helpless. They are only following the Oklahoma City Thunder at the moment. The Oklahoma City Thunder, which has not entered the playoffs in two seasons, has an indescribable desire for the playoffs.
There are obstacles in the front and chasing soldiers behind, which is the situation encountered by the old Spurs.
With time running out in the regular season, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich gave up on the idea of sprinting in the final stretch.
Just like the Spurs' label in the league, slow heat and stability, these two are the reasons why the San Antonio Spurs can gain a foothold in the league and are strong, but at the same time, it also makes this team lose its impact at critical moments.
At least, at this moment, it is difficult for the San Antonio Spurs to reach the seventh position in the Western Conference through a wave of winning streaks. Now that the Timberwolves occupy the ranking, the old Spurs generals can only watch helplessly.
The Timberwolves did not lose the chain in the final stage. In four games in six days, they achieved a record of two wins and two losses. The 50.00% win or loss has allowed them to ensure that they will enter the playoffs as the seventh place in the Western Conference.
On April 4, the Timberwolves lost at home to the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant, and once again lost in front of the Lakers' three-high plus black Mamba lineup, and there was no suspense in the loss.
Kobe personally marked Li Shihao, and his strong perimeter defensive skills made Li Shihao feel the well-deserved reputation of the Black Mamba.
I have to say that Kobe is indeed the one who most resembles Michael Jordan in the league. Even though there are many Jordan successors promoted in the league, Kobe is probably the only one who can be as dominant on the outside as Jordan.
Not only is there no one who can limit his offensiveness, but he also needs to have top perimeter defensive capabilities. This is where Michael Jordan is terrifying.
You must know that Michael Jordan was in the glory days of the four major centers, but as an outside player, he was selected to the best defensive team every year. This record is enough to make many outside players feel overwhelmed.
On April 4th, all members of the Timberwolves flew to New Orleans to face the Hornets led by "Queen Bee" Paul. The team is back in playoff contention.
Unfortunately, due to the absence of Chris Paul for most of the games this season, the Hornets have no one to lead the team out of the western siege. Now the Hornets, under the dismal record, have regained their impact in the playoffs, but it is too late. Tonight, their record was too far behind and they had already announced in advance that the playoffs were hopeless.
But tonight's Chris Paul is obviously in good condition. He doesn't intend to give the Timberwolves a victory in advance. This time he went all out and showed his peak state. The defense line was messed up, but fortunately Li Shihao had already gained experience and did not panic. Instead, he immediately used his control ability to help the team regain their rhythm.
Chris Paul is a well-known opponent in the league who is good at disrupting the opponent's rhythm. Li Shihao feels completely uncomfortable in the matchup.
Countless small moves, ghostly breakthroughs, and lightning-fast steals all made Li Shihao feel an unprecedented pressure.
However, this made Li Shihao extremely excited.
Since he entered the league, he has encountered countless strong players at the No. [-] position, but none of them are the No. [-] point guard in the league.
Today's No. [-] point guard in the league is "Queen Bee" Chris Paul. He is the existence that all No. [-] players want to fight against. How many people in the league want to beat him with their own hands.
Lee Se Ho finally met Chris Paul in his prime tonight, before the end of the season.
When Li Shihao performed astonishingly like a dark horse this season, the American media is more of the virtue of not eating grapes and saying grapes are sour.
This year's Rookie of the Year is actually not a native American player, which naturally makes the Americans, who are superior in the basketball field, feel quite uncomfortable, panicking like eating a dead fly.
American experts with mental illness naturally have more doubts about Li Shihao, who is of Chinese origin. They think that Li Shihao's performance is actually not high in gold.
In fact, Li Shihao will always perform poorly against the top players in the league, such as Steve Nash and Jason Kidd.And these prejudiced and arrogant American experts, on this issue, mostly ignored the fact that Li Shihao was a rookie.
This time, Li Shihao's match against "Queen Bee" Chris Paul, who has been in better shape recently, is regarded by many as a touchstone challenge. Li Shihao's own strength can basically be easily verified from this battle.
Indeed, Li Shihao began to feel uncomfortable when he encountered Chris Paul who was in his peak state.But he quickly adjusted.
Many strong players in the first position in the league have been blown out by Chris Paul, but the little fat Deron is the most outlandish one in the league.With a strong desire to attack, he has never been counseled against Chris Paul.
Relying on his excellent physical fitness, the chubby Deron Williams is basically in a state of restraint when he meets "Queen Bee" Chris Paul.Although Li Shihao doesn't have the muscular body of little fat Delong.But physical fitness is on par with Chris Paul.
Although Chris Paul has a black physique, his physical fitness is really not that strong. Maybe he will be better than Li Shihao in the first two years, but after entering the league this season, Li Shihao deliberately strengthened his physical fitness. Chris Paul has suffered injuries this season. After coming and going, the strengths and weaknesses of the two in terms of physical fitness have been reversed.
Chris Paul is good at breakthroughs, while Li Shihao is more accurate in mid-range shots. The two are in a state where neither can defend the other. From the beginning of the game, they entered a state of mutual explosion.
Chris Paul's height at the time of official registration was 180 centimeters. When he was put on the court, compared with Li Shihao, his height was seven or eight centimeters shorter. When defending Li Shihao's mid-range shot, Chris Paul Paul was also very uncomfortable.
In the case of height advantage, Li Shihao also frequently used the trick of the second jumper, which has a tendency to piss Chris Paul to death.
