Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 107: You really can’t beat the mouth cannon

The Utah media also complained about “Little Fat”.

The phrase “If DeLong wasn’t in Utah, he’d definitely be an All-Star starter” expressed their attitude.

And that’s exactly what Delon Williams wants to hear the most.

The whole state of Utah favored Delon, and Jerry Sloan did the same, and probably for this reason, and later Delon Williams became more and more arrogant, believing that all success was his own effort, and even that Jerry Sloan limited him with the system, otherwise he could reach a higher ceiling.

To a certain extent, Delong is not much different from the later “small steel cannon” Lowry, both are system players.

As for why DeLong made 3 All-Star appearances and won two All-Second Teams and fell early, while Lowry won a Best Third Team and scored 6 All-Stars, 3 of which were starters and won championships.

It may be that Lowry knows better than him how many pounds he has.

It’s just that they are crying out for Delon, and the eyes of the outside world are mainly focused on the Eastern Conference forward position, and the people who shout for Kevin Garnett are one after another.

On the Los Angeles side, “gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are sounding”, creating momentum for Li Wan!

He is not very close to Steve Nash, as long as he increases his efforts, it is estimated that after the second stage of voting, he can immediately overtake Steve Nash.

Although “Children of the Wind” averaged 16.2 points, 11.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, his demeanor is still the same, and he has just won two consecutive regular-season MVPs.

But Li Wan is really the biggest surprise in the league this season!

His fan-attracting personality, the court style that makes people look forward to it, and his off-court anecdotes make his whole person full of infinite charm…

It’s normal for such a person to play in Los Angeles and make the NBA All-Star starter!

Even if he is a rookie who has only played for two months.

Anyway……

Los Angeles fans think so!

Moreover, Li Wan has averaged 16.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks so far, shooting 43.1% from the field, 39.1% from three-point range and 83.6% from the free-throw line. Just 1.6 turnovers per game.

This data is not compared with anyone, and it is still enough to be an all-star.

It’s just that in the All-Star level, there is no advantage…

But is the All-Star comparison just data?

The popularity bonus outside the field is also important!

Los Angeles fans: It’s our holiday after all!

When seeing Li Wan so close to the starter, most fans in Los Angeles only have one sentence in their hearts: regard this as the only opportunity in this life to help Li Wan squeeze into the All-Star starter…

It’s not just Los Angeles fans who think this way.

Domestically, it is also busy.

“You have one vote, I have one vote, and my brother will debut tomorrow!” ”

“If you don’t do it, if I don’t do it, Li Wan will be knocked down!” ”

“You work hard, I work hard, my brother will do miracles!” ”

“If you don’t vote, I won’t vote, Li Wan can come out one day!” ”

……

Li Wan was so close to the All-Star starter that it made them excited.

No, the slogans are all shouted!

It is said that the momentum scared the little sisters of Hahan Hari next door, and they were all complaining one by one: This is also too much of a rice circle! No, we’re going to have to step up!

No one could have imagined that Li Wan’s birth would accelerate the development of the “rice circle culture.”

This may be the worst effect Li Wan has had so far.

Of course, Li Wan can guarantee that he will definitely not “collapse”, so fans don’t have to worry about whether he will have a friend from Guangdong.

Speaking of which, this is not only the case with “Li Wanba”, but also with “Arab Emirates”.

Although the UAE league rookie season has not been very good so far, it has been much lower than everyone expected…

However, to see a Chinese player on the All-Star Weekend, that is one!

At this time, Huaxia fans still know that the muzzle has always been outside.

Li Wan has remained calm about this matter, and David Stern has not yet expressed his position, which means that the original change in the rules of the All-Star vote is likely to happen again.

Longing for uncertain things is not Li Wan’s style.

His idea has always been not to have too much hope, and when he really achieves his goal, he will say: this is actually nothing remarkable…

It’s just that the media thought he had already begun to pretend.

This result…

It’s not bad.

The all-star topic did not get any exciting answers in Li Wan.

A reporter asked Li Wan what he expected from Tonight’s confrontation with DeLong Williams: “What kind of performance do you think you will play, better than him or worse than him?” ”

After the question, he added: “In the first stage of the vote, Delong only ranked 6th in the Western Defender…”

The meaning of this is clear and direct: No, no, it won’t be the third and the sixth, right?

Li Wan glanced at the guy’s work card, ESPN…

No wonder!

Li Wan once suspected that these people had all been trained at UC.

Farts are big, and they can also make the city stormy.

“One thing I can be sure of,” Li Wan looked at the reporter and said lightly, “I think he wants to beat me now more than I want to beat Delon Williams, because I am ahead of him.” ”

“So…”

“You should interview the challenger and see what he thinks! ”

Although he knew what this reporter thought, Li Wan still did what he wanted and began to pretend.

Mainly, he knows very well that now, in the eyes of Delon Williams, he must be a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.

Since the relationship cannot be eased, then simply deteriorate to the end!

With so many players in the league, they can’t all be brothers, right?

As soon as Delon Williams heard this, a fire rushed to his brain, and he couldn’t control it like eating a mustard mound, and nodded with a calm face: “YEP, then let’s see what this newcomer is capable of!” ”

Pick, challenger?

I’m the absolute core of a team, challenging you as a rookie?

Thanks to what you say!

“Little Fat” is angry …

The hostility of the Jews to Li Wan has also reached new heights.

40 minutes before the game, when Li Wan walked out of the away players’ tunnel, he could clearly feel that his ears were “buzzing”.

Depend on……

It’s almost tinnitus!

It’s good that the regular season comes once, and this is a few more times, which is definitely torture.

Li Wan feels a little sorry for the other teams in the Northwest Division, because they have to come here twice every season just in the regular season, plus the playoffs, four or five times a year, it’s exciting to think about.

If you change teams in the future, you must also stay away from the Northwest Division…

The invective of the fans filled Li Wan’s ears, but this was what was on his mind.

The season has been two months, “back-to-back” have been played twice, and they have eliminated the Bulls and Celtics respectively, especially the latter one, which is still on the stage of “Christmas War”.

Li Wan is not a fledgling pure newcomer now.

With experience, I am less afraid of away boos.

Even if the Energy Solution Arena is the famous “Devil’s Home” in the league, Li Wan’s feeling is just… just so so。

There will be an impact, but not to make him gaffe.

Kobe probably didn’t think he had grown to this point, seeing that he was still tying his own shoelaces, he spat out disdainfully: “Is this scared by the Jazz home court?” Are you going to tie it until the end of the game? ”

There is a coldness that makes your mother think you are cold;

There is a kind of fear, so that Kobe feels that you are afraid;

Li Wan still tied his shoelaces unhurriedly, stood up and stomped twice, feeling almost the same, he pulled the white bracer on his hand.

It is worth mentioning that as he played more and more games and his performance became more and more present, his bracers also attracted the attention of some reporters, who recorded the bracers that Li Wan wore when facing different opponents in each game.

Yes……

Sometimes, these journalists are such perverts!

Especially the male reporters, who are not interested in women’s stockings, but are interested in his bracers, look like they want to do something on them.

Li Wan still can’t say anything, if he says it, he will be fined, it’s really …

Free America!

They found some patterns in this, Li Wan’s bracer color will change with the color of the opposite team.

For example, today he wore a white strip, and when he played against the Rockets before, he wore a red one.

What makes them a little strange is that they rarely see Li Wan wearing green, such as when playing the Celtics, he wears a gold bracer…

The reporters felt very strange, and after the interview, they learned that Li Wan did not like green.

This caused some Green Conservancy to revolt: what did green do wrong, why don’t you like green!

Fortunately, there were not many people in the association, and it did not cause any major impact.

Li Wan has also joined the NBA “quirk” lineup so far.

But compared to others, he vomited before the game, and he didn’t change his socks for another season, and his “quirks” were clean and hygienic, giving people a feeling of two words: comfortable.

Delon entered to the cheers of the audience, his eyes not for his avid Jazz fans, but for the first time he looked at the opposite bench.

That Huaxia man…

He seemed to be telling jokes to his teammates, and the smile on his face was very bright.

Boom!

Delong gritted his teeth and warmed up.

Li Wan’s laughter gave him another reason to beat this rookie!

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineup of the two teams at this time:

Lakers: No. 1 Li Wan, No. 2 Kobe, No. 3 Luke Wharton, No. 4 Odom, No. 5 Kwame Brown;

Although Bynum, who was wearing a jersey, looked at the name on the Lakers’ No. 5 position in a daze, a week has passed, but from the results of the examination, I don’t know why, his ankle still has pain.

Jazz: No. 1 Delon Williams, No. 2 Ronnie Brewer, No. 3 Kirilenko, No. 4 Boozer, No. 5 Oku;

It was this lineup that tortured Dayao to some pain.

After seven games in the series, he averaged only 44% per game, which is a bit low for an inside player.

However, if it is said that Yao Ming dragged down Maddie, it is not necessary.

Maddie averaged 25.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists in these seven games, shooting 39.4% from the field and 25.0% from three-point range. With a salary of 16.9 million a year, his efficiency is really not higher than Yao Ming, who has a salary of 12.6 million a year.

Odom jumped to the ball for the team.

As soon as Li Wan took the ball, it caused a “tsunami” on the sidelines.

Delon Williams looked at him with a defiant gaze: “Come on, rookie, let me, the challenger, see what the All-Star vote has third…”

Before he finished talking in the trash, Li Wan had already thrown the ball to Kobe.

“Excuse me, what did you say? ”

“Actually passing? Shhh ”

Delong saw that Kobe Bryant had a singles fight, and concentrated on fighting with Li Wan.

“That’s what you said, you’re going to pass the ball, you’re a dog! ”

It’s just that after just one round, Delong’s mouth was like stained with glue, and he couldn’t speak. Li Wan’s words, he really didn’t know how to answer…

Is it possible to say “use a pass against you”?

Isn’t that a solid thing about him being a dog!

Where is the point guard who does not pass the ball …

But he lost his voice, but Li Wan spoke again, and returned the original words: “Coward! ”

“Don’t you dare too? Delong held back for a long time, holding out such a sentence.

Li Wan smiled, he felt like he was arguing with a primary school student, and waved his hand: “You better go back to practice your trash talk!” ”

Boring!

It’s really not interesting!

If only it had traveled fifteen years earlier, or the old men of the 90s spoke nicely.

“Ugh! ”

On the court, Kobe Bryant on the flank operated and hit a mid-range two-pointer in front of Kirilenko.

Kirilenko is the Jazz’s main force in limiting Maddie in the playoffs.

Also the league’s top wing defender.

But in fact, he is not very efficient defensively against super outside scorers.

Take Kobe, for example…

Although Kirilenko has a brilliant record of four in a hood. But in the playoffs, the two played 13 games, and Bryant had a 10-3 record. In terms of statistics, Kobe Bryant averaged 31 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting 48.5% from the field.

Therefore, some supergiants who have been limited by Kirilenko should really reflect on whether they are supergiants…

If you really want to keep talking about “sometime”, then Millsap on the Jazz bench also has something to say!

Oku served to Delong.

The cheers at the scene were so loud that “Little Fat” looked like the Utah emperor.

Just after half-time, Boozer appeared at the top of the arc.

The Utah Jazz, since the day Jerry Sloan took the helm, has not changed his style of play.

He has been playing for 21 years in these 21 years, blocking and dismantling!

He Sloan is the promoter of the alliance’s blocking and demolition tactics, and has developed this tactic to another level, and the “small block and large mutual demolition system” is basically the structure completed by him. Popovich’s Spurs and other coaches can be seen in the use of blocking tactics.

Li Wan saw that Delong was looking at Boozer from time to time, and immediately mocked: “Why, ready to be a dog?” ”

Delong, who was about to pass the ball to Boozer, heard this and took the ball back two steps, asking his teammates to pull him away.

Dog?

Scold!

He wants to single Li Wan!

Play and play, make trouble, don’t joke with the “little fat” single.

Li Wan’s expression became focused.

DeLong Williams was also known as a “naked finisher” at his peak, known for his dribbling rhythm changes and double directions.

Most importantly, he also has a solid body.

Even if he doesn’t shake his opponent, when the opponent’s center of gravity shakes, he can crush like a tank and complete the layup.

It was also this trick that made “58” have no temper at all.

Li Wan knew that he couldn’t defend himself alone, and took the defensive tactic he was best at: calling people!

Kwame Brown coughed in understanding.

Li Wan boldly blocked it, because there was someone behind him, and he didn’t care which way Delong went, no matter where he went, Li Wan blocked his right side.

Delong “cheated” Li Wan in this way and rushed into the inside, but behind Li Wan, another “black big man” rushed out, and under the interference of his long arm, Delong made a layup and hit the iron.

Oku grabbed the rebound, and a small throw that seemed to press the slow down button missed.

He is still more suitable for putting “cold arrows” on the outside.

Odom protected the rebound.

Fortunately, he was one step faster, or he would have had to let Boozer grab an offensive rebound.

Phil Jackson didn’t say anything, the Jazz were originally fierce in grabbing rebounds, averaging 3~4 more rebounds per game than the opposite. With Bynum gone, Kwame Brown on the court, and tonight’s rebound explosion is predictable.

If the Lakers want to win tonight, they have to play efficiently.

“Is that your defense? I can’t see you in front of my eyes at all! DeLong tried to launch the Trash Talk Challenge again.

Li Wan’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes were constantly observing his teammate’s running, and he replied lightly: “It turns out that you just scored a goal?” ”

“Then I’m still…”

Delong’s expression froze, and he wanted to fight back, but Li Wan didn’t wait for him to reply, and he suddenly held the ball.

Again?

It’s good that I finish talking about trash talk!

Little rookies don’t talk about martial virtue!

Delong reacted immediately, and the words stopped when they came to his lips, almost biting his tongue.

A muffled “boom”.

Delong, who had just moved half a step, hit the “iron plate”, and this time, his teeth really bit his tongue, and his expression suddenly became painful.

Li Wan had already rushed into the inside line to challenge Boozer and pulled the space to the left, and Kwame Brown understood it, using his mobility to overtake Oku and enter the inside early.

When the ball arrived, Kwame Brown completed the dunk with both hands.

“fxxk you！ ”

With both hands clenched into fists and shouted, Kwamei’s face showed a fierce look, but when he arrived in front of Li Wan, he raised his hand to give Li Wan a high five.

Kwame Brown doesn’t have much, but he is the top in the league because of his excellent physicality.

Oku bent down to pick up the ball a little helplessly, and at this moment, he felt a little like Dayao at that time.

The pace is too slow, and I really have more than enough energy.

The ball was given to Delong again.

As soon as he arrived at the front court, Li Wan clapped his hands provocatively and asked him to single-handedly play again.

Delon Williams looked at Kwame Brown behind Li Van, and then at Boozer who actively blocked it, and made up his mind: forget it, a dog is a dog!

He can shake defenders to make shots, but after attracting the defense, he has more options for passing the ball to his partner.

Boozer is the Jazz’s “scoring leader” this season, averaging 21.1 points per game.

Delong squeezed Li Wan with his weight, gave the fast down Boozer, and the “New Utah Double Fire” completed the linkage, and Boozer scored the first 2 points of the Jazz.

“Anti-Bone Boy” is short, but the offensive skills as a power forward are still basically full.

“Hello, Takashi! ”

Li Wan gave Delong a new nickname.

Delong almost couldn’t help but rush away directly and punch Li Wanlai.

If Li Wan hadn’t come to Artai for such a set of combination punches…

He must think he can win, but if he loses, it will be a lifetime thing.

Like Atai, 50 years later, on a variety show, bragging about how fierce he was when he played the NBA, the host suddenly came to the sentence “You were beaten by Li Wan”, I was afraid that I would immediately “die in the society”.

He pretended not to hear.

Li Wan gave the ball to Kobe again, and his mouth continued: “Seriously, you really have the ability to be a dog.” ”

DeLong replied: “I thought it was you who was holding the ball now!” ”

“No, are you going to compete with a rookie? Li Wan looked surprised, “Wouldn’t it? ”

Delong:……

Why is this rookie’s angle always so tricky?

“You have more votes than me! ”

“It’s so popular, I’m also troubled…”

Delong felt speechless, Li Wan suddenly ran, scared Delong also quickly followed, but Li Wan just pretended to run position, and stopped after trying to move, Delong ran too fast, but opened a little distance with him.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Kobe won’t pass the ball! ”

Li Wan comforted him, as if comforting a kindergarten child.

Delong:……

“Ugh! ”

Kobe scored again, and when he returned to defense, he glared at Li Wan.

Do you TM say trash talk must take me?

Obviously, he heard Li Wan’s words just now.

Li Wan gave him a thumbs up: “Awesome!” ”

Successfully reaped a roll of Kobe’s eyes.

Delong, who completely fell into the downwind in the “mouth cannon” link, had a skyrocketing desire to attack in the next round, and Li Wan carried him hard, and to Delong’s surprise, this time Li Wan actually kept entangled and did not completely give him to Kwame Brown behind him.

This made Delong a little alert, and hurried to find Boozer’s position.

Turning his head and bumping into Kobe, he walked around from the side, and his hand reached for the ball in his hand.

Delong showed his dribbling ability, quickly changing hands in his crotch, but he forgot that on his other side, it was Li Wan’s long arm.

“Snap! ”

Successful steal!

Li Wan held the ball quickly.

The Jazz defended very quickly.

There were at least two players in front of Li Wan, but the positions of these guys were not completely secure.

There are still opportunities for quick attacks…

It’s just that he can’t handle it.

That……

It’s up to you!

Go on, Pi, Kobe!

A horizontal pass, the angle is a little big, Kobe expected, when rushing, there is slowly approaching Li Wan, so he grabbed the ball.

Flashing and moving…

Kobe Bryant showed a “peerless waist” to complete the goal.

The game just started, and I scored 6 points in a row!

Kobe Bryant killed crazy!

6-2.

During the defense, Li Wan heard Jerry Sloan’s scolding: “Damn, what the hell are you doing?” ”

For such an iron marshal, you can not score, as long as the tactics come out!

But now, the tactics are not spoken, and they plunge headlong into the opponent’s defensive trap, like a wild boar running around, falling into a hole covered with dry straw.

Can he endure?

If he can endure it, he will not eat 413 technical offenders in his coaching career!

Delong crossed his waist and waited for the ball, did not speak, and he was really a little upset at this moment.

Li Wan fanned the flames next to him: “Yes, can you play according to the coach’s intention?” You’re so disobedient, Jerry, do you want to trade him to the Lakers for me? ”

Li Wan’s words were sincere.

Leaving aside the city’s team, let’s talk about the Jazz’s tactical system – blocking and dismantling plus UCLA offensive tactics.

This is a system with position one and number four as the core.

Among so many tactics in the alliance, it may also be the “run-and-bomb system” and attach so much importance to the No. 1 position.

Delong is strong, but the system cannot be ignored for his bonus.

Sloane:……

He had an expression on his face that he didn’t know what to say.

After studying Li Wan’s coach, you can see that he is a very intelligent ball carrier. Can play well the manager’s intentions.

No manager would refuse to coach such a player.

Including the old handsome.

When he led the assistant team to study the Lakers, his thoughts often went off track: What would happen to him if I coached Li Wan.

But……

There should be no one who can’t think of exchanging the current Delong for Li Wan, right?

Wow, this newcomer!

Really tumult!

Sloan has seen a lot of people who like to talk in the trash, and this one is also a heavyweight…

Li Wan is doing right, so the voice is loud!

It can be heard from the audience at the front point.

Compared to the silent Sloan, the reaction of the Jazz fans on the sidelines was much stronger, and one by one there was a crazy boo, which filled the entire stadium.

Li Wan returned to his defensive position amid boos, waiting for Delong to move forward.

Delong didn’t speak again this time, and his expression became completely serious.

Boozer moved in arc this time, and he also responded positively, leaning towards Boozer’s side.

Oku pulled outside the three-point line on the other side, luring Odom to chase him out.

Kwame Brown’s attention is on Li Wan, ready to make up for the defense after blocking.

But the moment he came out, Boozer turned handsomely and cut into the basket, and Delon immediately gave the ball to his hand, and the latter scored on a rebound.

A typical UCLA-style offense of the Jazz.

Try to open up the inside space so that the number four has sufficient movement paths.

Then the number one and four will judge the playing style by themselves.

This shows how important point guards and power forwards are in the Jazz’s system.

This round, Delong and Boozer chose to run back after the fake block.

“Oh roar, it’s beautiful, Takashi! ”

Li Wan mocked as usual, but this time Delong just glanced at him and calmly returned to defense.

He scored six points and three assists with seven minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter, but only one turnover.

The Jazz also led the 28-25 lead into the break.

“Rookie, playing basketball is not something you can win by mouth! Instead of trash talk, you should really exercise your bad ball skills! ”

Li Wan finished the first quarter, and although he gave 3 assists, he only had 2 points.

And Delong’s side plus the previous assist, a total of 4 assists, scoring and assists are higher than Li Wan, which also allowed him to recover when he left the court, and began to pick things in areas he was not good at.

Li Wan smiled and nodded: “Thank you.” ”

Delong:……

Did I praise you!?

I said that you should really exercise your basketball skills better than trash talk, that is, praise you for being good at trash talk?

WTF！

This new face is also too thick skin, right?

Delong’s good mood was swept away.

Boozer next to him looked at him stunned, shook his head slightly, when did he as a partner realize that his mouth cannon really couldn’t beat Li Wan, or was it better to play with peace of mind?

Phil Jackson called the man in front of him, and as if he finally reacted, the game began, took out the tactical board to write and draw, and while writing, said with his mouth: “We can’t let this guy play so easily anymore…”

The guy he said is naturally Delong!

The first one is here, and there will be another one later.
