Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

On the first day of November, the Lakers continue to sit at home, and they will face the challenge of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Before training in the morning, Li Wan, who ended the interview, found Odom: "If there is someone, Kobe would text him, but he didn't reply..."

"You didn't reply to Kobe's message?"

"Yeah~" Li Wan leaked a voice from between his teeth, "You're so quick to react, if it was on the court, I think Phil would be happy!"

"For his health, I won't." Odom suddenly realized, "No wonder Kobe treated you like that yesterday, you're screwed, man, I told you, this dude is very vengeful, very very very vengeful!"

Odom's face had a bit of sympathy, and at the same time he couldn't believe it. Kobe always texted him in seconds. Even his mother couldn't let him do that. Of course, Kobe didn't usually text him.

He couldn't believe that Li Wan dared not reply to Kobe's text messages.

"There's a reason for that, but it doesn't matter anymore, if I had a time machine to go back to that time, I'd definitely text him back, that's not what I'm asking about, man, I just want to know, what should I do? Do it so that he won't keep targeting me!"

The Lakers opened the training ground this morning, and a large number of reporters entered the arena. Kobe Bryant has yet to find Li Wan, but after meeting his eyes a few times, Li Wan is very clear that this stingy man did not let this matter go. .

He now knows how stingy Kobe is!

"It's not easy, unless you can get 11 points in five minutes like the last game..."

"It's so simple... No, it's okay? Is it so coaxing?"

Li Wan did not expect Odom to propose such a plan.

Odom spread his hands: "He's just such a weirdo. As long as he wins, everyone is a good brother. If he loses, in his eyes, farting is a death penalty."

"Okay... I'm Sean Connery tonight!"

Although Li Wan doesn't understand, what he has to do now is to let this matter pass quickly. Kobe was at ease as the boss of the Lakers, he continued to develop quietly, and the well water did not make river water. Kobe looked at him with snake-like eyes all day long.

This summer, there was a "big deal boom" in the league, and many of the league's star players have changed their families, including the NBA's top power forward "Wolf King" Garnett.

He left the Timberwolves for 12 years and moved to Boston, forming the Boston "Big Three" with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

The Celtics have become the league's top tycoon and the closest team to the championship this season. Minnesota started rebuilding with a lot of chips from Kevin Garnett's "1-for-7" trade, waiting for the next "Wolf King" to be born.

The media in Minnesota is still very optimistic. The Celtics sent a good chip, especially Al Jefferson. Experts are unanimously optimistic that he will become an NBA first-level inside player.

Al Jefferson did not let them down either. In the Timberwolves' first game, he handed over "20 plus 10" data. This made the Timberwolves fans look forward to this game with the Lakers immediately. They wanted to see what kind of performance Al Jefferson would play when he met Bynum, known as the "Little Shark". .

The result is being educated...

In the last game, he only scored 11 points because he was in the transition rhythm of offense and defense, and he played a somewhat embarrassed Bynum. As soon as this game came up, he showed his skillful low-post singles.

Al Jefferson's lower set was very stable, but Bynum swayed out of the space with his footsteps and scored the ball twice.

The Lakers fans at the scene suddenly gave out huge cheers. They have been looking forward to this scene since Buss Jr. selected Bynum in 2005. From 2005 to 2007, for three full years, they finally waited for Bynum's growth.

Bynum also had some smugness on his face, looking to the sidelines, looking for ESPN reporters. He wanted to ask these guys, would they dare to underestimate him?

Coupled with Kobe's performance, when the first quarter reached 9 minutes and 15 seconds, the Lakers had easily led by 7 points. Phil Jackson waved his hand and let Li Wan and the others play.

The starters on the field only left Fisher.

Odom gave a high five when he came off the court, walked to Li Wan, and whispered to him: "If you widen the point difference to more than double digits before Kobe goes off the court, I think that must be over."

Li Wan nodded and made an "OK" gesture with him.

Kobe noticed Odom whispering to Li Wan, slowed down and waited for him to come up, with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "When did you have such a good relationship with him?"

"Hey Kobe, I'm his big brother, just take care of him."

"Really?" Kobe thought of something and asked again, "If you send him a message, will he reply?"

"Go back, he..."

"Okay, got it!"

"Uh…"

Odom looked at Kobe's more gloomy back, looked back at Li Wan with some embarrassment, and quickly took two steps to sit next to Kobe.

"Actually, I don't often pay..."

He wanted to explain a few words, but Kobe turned his head and looked at him without moving his eyes, making him automatically mute.

Li Wan on the court didn't know that Odom was causing trouble for him,

Rashard McCants of North Carolina holds the ball forward.

When Li Wan saw him, he thought of a very interesting point mentioned by the Lakers scout.

McCants is full of evil due to character reasons, including conflicts with former North Carolina coach Duch and current North Carolina coach Williams, fights with the American U20 team, and cutting his throat in front of fans. Considered a locker room bomb by scouts, he was not selected by the Timberwolves until the 14th overall pick in the first round. But since he entered the league, there has not been any negative news about him.

Along with his personality change, there is also his style of play.

Before the draft, his template was: the poor man's version of Allen Iverson, with a very sharp breakthrough. But in the two years he has entered the league, he has become more and more fond of shooting from the outside. The template also changed from "Poor Man's Allen Iverson" to "Poor Man's Ray Allen".

Li Wan specifically studied his career after entering the league, and also found a teacher from the university's psychological club to help analyze his changes, and finally came to the conclusion: McCants should not be able to stand up.

Injuries made him afraid of confrontation, and it also caused him to focus more on long-distance shooting when he chose to attack.

But this conclusion was researched by Li Wan himself. When facing him on the first ball, Li Wan did not dare to move too far forward, and maintained a forearm distance, until McCants used the "hesitation step" all the time. Forcing Li Wan to step back, this made Li Wan more daring to post forward. McCants didn't have room to shoot. He gritted his teeth and walked in. Seeing Turiaf defending, he dribbled high and shot.

Miss!

Turiaf retreated at the same time as he was shooting, watching the rebounding ball was too far out, and he couldn't reach it. Just when he saw Li Wan rushing over, he stuck in position and resisted Walker, who wanted to go around and grab the rebound. .

Li Wan successfully rushed the board, and looked for Jordan Farmar's position to fake a pass. Randy Foye, who was originally blocking him, grabbed the position ahead of time, and the space in front of Li Wan became wider.

Vujacic ran very fast on the flanks, and Li Wan, who was still in the center line, passed the ball from a long distance, so that the ball was comfortably caught by him, and he made a layup.

"Vujacic succeeded in fast break, assisting hand Li~wan!"

"wow!"

"This pass reminds me of another famous surgeon, John Hunter. The Chinese newcomer's pass is as precise and sharp as a scalpel in his hand!"

"Thisgreat!"

Staples’ on-the-spot commentary, Chick Hearn, was also ignited by Li Wan’s pass. Once again, seeing such a sharp pass from him, he originally wanted to say that this ball is like “Magic” Johnson, but think about it. This is this kid's second regular season game, so don't bother him. Temporarily changed the word to the mouth, and described it as a "scalpel" again, but changed the doctor.

The counterattack succeeded and faced McCants again. Li Wan did not try this time, and kept reaching out to interfere with his dribble. McCants did not dare to go inside and gave the ball to Randy Foye.

Randy Foye, who had first-rate physical fitness, was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he called Jefferson's pick-and-roll to get rid of Fisher. Throw in the face box and score the ball.

Timberwolves head coach Randy Whitman applauded him for the ball. When he accepted the Timberwolves, Randy Foye was traded. At that time, his confidence was damaged because of the abandonment of the Blazers. A year later, he entered the second grade, and he seemed to have regained the courage he had in college.

As far as talent is concerned, Randy Foye is definitely at the top of the league, and he has the aptitude to grow into an All-Star.

Whitman likes him more than McCants, whose style of play is becoming more and more monotonous.

"We have one more!"

Fisher opened his mouth to stabilize his teammates, which was Phil Jackson's role in keeping him on the court.

Li Wan can feel that the entire defensive formation of the Timberwolves is very aimed at his off-ball movement. Kobe also saw it, and blew a sigh of relief: "To this arrogant guy, what's the use of targeting? The Timberwolves are really bad! It's worse than the avocado supplement GIGI eats!"

Odom pretended not to hear, he was afraid that he would say something wrong again.

"Bang!"

Turiaf missed the basket, the ball was held by Jefferson, the Timberwolves counterattacked, and Randy Foye attracted the defense and passed the ball to McCants.

perfect!

Randy Foye's passing timing made Whitman want to high-five.

Great!

But McCants, who was rushing fiercely, noticed that after Li Wanneng made a layup with him in time, his momentum weakened, and the counterattack missed the blue sky.

Li Wan grabbed the ball and quickly counterattacked. After completing the connection with Turiaf, this time he did not let the opportunity to score at the basket slip away and scored smoothly.
