Playing against the league's top players is a very important experience opportunity for a rookie. Of course, the rookie must have tough nerves and a strong heart, otherwise it will easily be psychologically shadowed, which will lead to failure.
Ingram obviously doesn't have to worry about this issue. Ingram's original experience can be said to be very miserable. He was criticized verbally and written by almost the entire Los Angeles media and Lakers fans, but in the end he didn't play out the same way.
And this time together is not in vain. Although Ingram is usually a taciturn person, it does not mean that he never says a word.
After being easily scored by Paul George, the Lakers counterattacked and Li Hao held the ball, but this time Li Hao did not do it himself, but passed the ball to Ingram.
"Paul, guard our rookie, he is the one facing you." Li Hao did not forget to tease Paul George when passing the ball.
In this game, Paul George was guarding Li Hao, and the arrangement of the Pacers head coach is also obvious. Li Hao is not only the core of the Lakers' tactics, but also the engine of the Lakers' offense. If you can hold down Li Hao, you can hold down Li Hao. Lakers offense.
However, it is not easy to hold down Li Hao. There may be someone who can hold down Li Hao in his rookie season, but since last season, no one can really hold down Li Hao.
At best, they can only restrain each other, just like Leonard, where offense and defense explode at the same time, which is actually similar to Paul George.
However, when playing against Paul George last season, he spent most of the time facing off against Najia. After all, last season was Nachi's last season, and almost every player in the league wanted to face off against Najia.
Paojiao said nothing because Li Hao had already started running, and after Li Hao started running, all Paul George could do was follow Li Hao as much as possible.
On the other side, Ingram also completed the scoring. Facing Monta Ellis, who was more than ten centimeters shorter than himself, Ingram made a sudden jump shot.
The former core of the Warriors and Curry's former boss has reached the end of his career. He will be waived by the Pacers next season, and then completely disappear from the NBA.
"Look, Monta can't stop our rookie." Li Hao was very happy to see Ingram score two points.
Paul George ignored Li Hao, and in the next wave of attacks, Monta Ellis wanted to regain face, but unfortunately, he was no longer the Warriors boss he once was, and once a player like Monta Ellis As you get older, your level drops especially sharply.
Although Wade, who is guarding Ellis, is three years older than Ellis, players are different. Wade can still become a superstar in the league even if he gives up one meniscus in the league, while Ellis obviously There is no such strength.
However, the Pacers still scored. Ellis missed a throw under Wade's defense, and Turner completed the score with Yi Jianlian's tip-in.
When the Lakers attacked, Li Hao and Wade had a hand-to-hand cooperation. The Flash went straight to the Pacers' basket from the other side of Li Hao. Turner tried to block Wade, but Wade dodged and completed a layup.
The Pacers' third wave of offense was initiated by Jeff Teague, but under Li Hao's defense, Jeff Teague never got a good chance, and had no choice but to pass the ball to Paul George again.
Ingram's defense is still working hard, but he is too immature now. He easily changed hands and passed him under the crotch. Then Paul George rushed to the block and easily completed the layup under Randall's defense.
In the opening stage, both sides' shooting percentages were surprisingly high, especially in the first two minutes. After Paul George scored the second goal, Li Hao finally scored his first score of the game.
Facing Paul George, Li Hao also used a crotch change of hands to change direction, but then the two completely reversed. Paul George rushed in, while Li Hao retreated.
Paul George's reaction was really fast. He immediately followed up when Li Hao retreated, but he still couldn't stop Li Hao from scoring.
Because Li Hao jumped too high, even though Paul George was a few centimeters higher than Li Hao, his hand still couldn't touch the basketball and couldn't stop Li Hao from shooting.
Brush – silky smooth.
But when it comes to silky smoothness, Paul George doesn't give in too much, and then a wave of attacks,
Paul George completed a fadeaway jumper in front of Ingram, quite like his former idol.
But when it comes to fadeaway jumpers, we have to look at Li Hao, who was taught by Jordan's trainer Grover and passed down by Kobe Bryant.
Ingram couldn't stop Paul George, and Paul George couldn't stop Li Hao from scoring. Facing Paul George's defense, Li Hao used a picturesque fadeaway to let him know who was the true successor to the fadeaway.
In the next short period of time, the game completely became a scoring show between Li Hao and Paul George. Paul George's offensive skills are quite comprehensive.
But when it comes to comprehensiveness, Li Hao has something to say. In the past summer, Li Hao practiced another offensive technique, which is fingertip picking.
Speaking of picking the blue, it is also related to Lao Dengtou. In the summer, when Lao Deng came to coach Li Hao, he talked about the offensive technique of picking the blue.
Picking the blue is a specialty of several ancient behemoths, including Chamberlain, Dr. J, Julius Erving, and Spurs iceman George Gervin.
In front of Paul George, Li Hao used the blue pick for the first time. Not to mention, watching the depressed expressions when the basketball slipped through the fingertips of Paul George and Turner, and the two could not touch, it felt very... wonderful.

Speed, strength, jumping, various skills and experience, after the first two seasons of experience, Li Hao has become one of the most terrifying players in the league.
Although there is a saying that every inch has its shortcomings and its strengths, even a player as strong as the basketball god has shortcomings.
But this sentence does not apply to Li Hao. Products produced by the system must be high-quality. Because of habits, this product has no shortcomings.
