Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

This summer, Bryant played a big game and forced the Lakers to trade him or bring Jerry West back.

In the end, Kobe agreed to wait because of the comfort of old Buss.

But in fact, in the process of this "forcing the palace drama", the Lakers management did not use their crooked brains.

They consulted the management of the Cavaliers and asked them, "Do you want the first person in the league?" If they want it, as long as they open their mouths, the management of the Lakers will send it to them, but they want to get "the future first person in the league". Change.

Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers, smiled and gave the answer calmly: "fxxkyou!"

The deal fell through.

And tonight, the Lakers are sitting at home, and it is LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers to face off.

The league has given enough pomp: the national broadcast.

Domestically, -5 also broadcast the game live.

Yu Jia, Director Zhang and Su Qun who were sitting in the studio looked happy. Three hours ago, the Lakers public relations team announced today's starting list.

At the number one position, it is Li Wan, a newcomer from China!

Tonight is not only the confrontation between "the first person in the NBA" and "the first person in the future of the NBA", but also the first start of Li Wan's career.

Director Zhang gave a "hoo", rubbed his hands together, and took a sip of Beijing: "We have caught up, ha, tonight's game, let me tell you, is absolutely wonderful!"

Yu Jia and Su Qun nodded again and again, and they also looked forward to it.

Su Qun said: "Today, it is estimated that many students skipped class to watch this game. Of course, we certainly do not advocate this practice, but this is indeed a historic moment. The first Huaxia to start in the NBA regular season. Outside players!"

The Staples Arena was already full at the moment, and the crowd was full of people.

"Next, you may not have watched his game, but you must have heard his name lately, let's welcome the crazy trash talker, Lee-Wan!"

The last "ten thousand" word, you can clearly hear Hearn tearing his throat in order to lengthen his voice, and in the audience, hundreds of Lakers fans also broke their throats.

Amidst the huge cheers and the introduction speech that was quite a middle schooler, Li Wan walked out of the home player tunnel. Under the spotlight, he opened his hands, squatted halfway, and moved forward quickly, sliding his hands over his teammates' outstretched arms. Hands, high-fives one by one, and finally walked to the center of the court to make a "settle everything" gesture, which made the atmosphere of the scene even hotter.

Knowing that Li Wan will start tonight, the Los Angeles Lakers fans are also looking forward to it.

Derek Fisher sat on the bench, looking at such a popular Li Wan, his expression was quite painful.

Since 2005, his starting position has not been stable, first Vujacic, then Jordan Farmar, and now another Li Wan.

And it looks like...

The possibility is very high!

With such a high popularity, as long as his performance is stable, he doesn't need to be eye-catching. I'm afraid that the starting position of this position will have to be given up.

Hey, it's really not the right time for this leg cramp.

However, since things had come to an end, he could only pray that Li Wan would be more unstable than usual in this game.

In that way, he may still have a chance, after all, stability has always been his label!

Li Wan looked at the Cavaliers bench. Under the dim light, LeBron James was holding the ball and standing on the sidelines, waiting for the Lakers' home ceremony to end.

A strong body is enough to impress at a glance.

Plus his face...

Black people generally don't look old, except for Auden.

Except LeBron James...

If it weren't for the hair band, everyone would believe 33!

"Okay, the game is about to start!"

Yu Jia looked at the broadcast screen and listened to the beep sounding symbolizing the start of the game, and introduced it in a slow and slow manner.

"The Lakers, as we knew in advance, took Li Wan to the starting No. 1 position. The Cavaliers didn't change the lineup, and it was the original lineup."

"Daniel Gibson at No. 1, Larry Hughes at No. 2, LeBron James at No. 3, Drew Gooden at No. 4, Big Z at No. 5."

"This lineup allowed them to reach the Finals last season, but so far this season, the Cavaliers as a whole, except for LeBron James, are not as good as they were in the Eastern Conference finals."

"Prince is actually okay!" Su Qun interjected.

"Prince" Daniel Gibson, famous last season in the Eastern Conference finals.

If LeBron James scored 25 points in a row in the final moments of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals and gave the Cavaliers the lead in the series, then Daniel Gibson made 3 of 3 3-pointers in the final quarter of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. , the audience scored 31 points, it is the last straw to crush the Pistons.

After the game, LeBron James put his arms around Gibson and shouted to the media crowded in the tunnel: "Make way for our superstar."

The name "Prince" comes from this.

With the explosion in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Daniel Gibson has secured the starting position for the Cavaliers.

"He averaged just 4 points per game last season, and he's already averaging 10 points per game this season! More than doubled."

When the picture was officially given to Da Z and Bynum who were jumping balls, their discussion about Li Wan's opponent came to an abrupt end.

"Snapped!"

Big Z touched the ball first, and Gibson gave the ball to LeBron James who reached out before half court. This scene seemed very familiar to Li Wan.

Sure enough, the No. 1 position next to the super perimeter star has similar functions.

LeBron James took the ball to the frontcourt, stood on the flank, Luke Walton opened his hands and slowly leaned over, watching vigilantly from a distance of one hand.

LeBron glanced at his left side, where Kobe was standing, then glanced at his right side, and at the top of the arc was Li Wan.

Making up his mind, he leaned towards the top of the arc.

Li Wan noticed his movement and was not surprised. Compared with Kobe's supplementary defense, it was naturally easier to deal with him as a rookie.

Suddenly starting, LeBron James showed his terrifying explosiveness. He was already close to Walton, who just reacted and moved laterally.

"Bah!"

After a collision, LeBron James did not sway and squeezed past him abruptly. Li Wan did not hesitate. The first time Walton was squeezed away, he moved to LeBron James' breakthrough path ahead of schedule.

There was a strong confrontation between the two people's bodies, and Li Wan only had one feeling: is this not a whizzing train?

Although he has some psychological preparations, after the confrontation, Li Wan can really feel how fierce the impact of LeBron James is. His strength can already cope with the general striker, but in front of LeBron James, he is very fragile. It's like paper.

It's just that he has followed him to the inside line. If he gets out of the way, LeBron can directly complete the dunk. It is not a good thing to let him dunk like this.

Li Wan gritted his teeth and slammed it up again, this time with significantly more force than before.

"Bang!"

Affected by strong interference, the problem of the stiffness of LeBron's layup emerged, and the ball hit the board and bounced out.

"beep…"

At this time, the referee blew a whistle and called Li Wan's blocking foul.

Is this actually a foul?

There was a burst of dissatisfied boos at the scene, and Li Wan also looked at the referee who blew the penalty very unhappily: "This level of confrontation is also bragging? The finals are like you said, the champion is the Cavaliers. team!"

The referee glared at him fiercely and picked up the whistle again. As long as Li Wan dared to say another word, he would sound the whistle.

Li Wan did not go up.

And his goal has been achieved, and the scene is full of boos.

Curses such as "rubbish referee" and "idiot" came up one after another, reminding the referee that even if it was "All-American Live" tonight, it was the home of the Lakers.

LeBron James heard Li Wan's sarcasm, and his expression was a little ugly when he walked to the free throw line.

It's just that just after he got the ball, Li Wan's voice sounded again: "You rough guy who can only use his body, I bet $10, you can't make the penalty!"

As soon as the words fell, LeBron knocked out a free throw.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that he really didn't make a penalty, Li Wan laughed unabashedly. His laughter also stopped the rest of the Lakers in Bengbu. Kobe's face was expressionless, but the corners of his twitching mouth showed that he endured it. Very hard.

It is indeed a pleasure to watch this rookie engage in other people's mentality.

Zhang Weiping also laughed: "Don't look at Li Wan's foul, LeBron really dares not to enter!"

"Don't forget you owe me $10, LeBron!"

Shouting again, although there was no interference this time, LeBron James made the second free throw, but when he turned his head back to defense, LeBron James' uglier expression showed that he was angry!

Li Wan did not worry.

Since LeBron regards him as a soft persimmon, he naturally doesn't need to be polite.
