Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 36: Is it so good?

On the first day of November, the Lakers continue to sit home as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Before the morning training, Li Wan, who ended the interview, found Odom: “If there is someone, Kobe Bryant texted him, but he didn’t reply…”

“You didn’t reply to Kobe’s message? ”

“Yay~” Li Wan’s voice leaked out from between his teeth, “You react so fast, if it’s on the court, I think Phil will die happily!” ”

“For his health, I won’t. Odom suddenly realized, “No wonder Kobe Bryant did that to you yesterday, you’re finished, man, I told you, this guy is very vindictive, very, very, very vengeful!” ”

Odom’s face was a little sympathetic, and at the same time there was disbelief. Kobe Bryant sends him messages in seconds, and even his mother can’t get him to do it to this extent, of course, Kobe Bryant usually doesn’t send him messages.

He really couldn’t believe that Li Wan actually dared not return Kobe’s text message.

“There’s a reason for this, but it doesn’t matter anymore, if I have a time machine to go back to that time, I’ll definitely send him a message back, I’m not asking about this, man, I just want to know what to do so that he doesn’t continue to target me!” ”

This morning, the Lakers opened the training ground, a large number of reporters entered the arena, Kobe Bryant has not looked for Li Wan so far, but after a few eye encounters, Li Wan is very clear that this stingy man did not let this matter pass.

He also knows now how stingy Kobe is!

“It’s not an easy thing to do, unless you can get 11 points in five minutes like in the last game…”

“So simple… No, that’s okay? Is it so good to coax? ”

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

Odom stalled his hands: “He is such a weirdo, as long as he wins, everyone is a good brother, but if you lose, in his eyes, farting is a capital offense.” ”

“Okay… I’m Sean Connery tonight! ”

Although Li Wan didn’t understand, all he had to do now was to let this matter pass quickly. Kobe Bryant is at ease to be the boss of the Lakers, he continues to develop quietly, and the well water does not violate the river water. Kobe Bryant looked at him with snake-like eyes all day, holding who was affected.

This summer, the league has seen a “big trade boom,” and many of the league’s star players have changed their courts, including NBA’s top power forward Garnett.

He left the Timberwolves after 12 years and moved to Boston, forming the Boston “Big Three” along with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

The Celtics became the league’s top powerhouse and were closest to a championship this season. Minnesota began to rebuild with a large number of chips from the Kevin Garnett “1-for-7” trade, waiting for the birth of the next “Wolf King”.

Minnesota’s media is still optimistic, the Celtics are sending good chips, especially Al Jefferson, and experts are unanimously optimistic that he will become a first-line interior player in the NBA.

Al Jefferson didn’t disappoint either, and he handed over “20 plus 10” numbers in the Timberwolves’ first game. This made Timberwolves fans look forward to this game against the Lakers, and they wanted to see what kind of performance Al Jefferson would play when he met Bynum, known as the “Little Shark”.

The result is to be educated…

In the last game, because he had been in the rhythm of offensive and defensive conversion, he only scored 11 points, and Bynum, who played a little suffocating, showed his skillful low-post singles as soon as this match came up.

Al Jefferson’s next set was steady, but Bynum stunned and shook out of space with his footsteps and scored the ball twice.

The Lakers fans at the scene immediately let out a huge cheer, and they have been looking forward to this image since Buss Jr. selected Bynum in ’05. From ’05 to ’07, for three full years, they finally waited for Bynum to grow.

Bynum also had a smug look on his face and looked to the sidelines, looking for ESPN reporters. He wanted to ask these guys, did he dare to underestimate him?

Coupled with Kobe’s play, by the time the first quarter reached 9 minutes and 15 seconds, the Lakers had easily led by 7 points, and Phil Jackson waved his hand to let Li Wan and them play.

Only Fisher was left in the starters on the field.

Odom high-fived when he got off the court, walked up to Li Wan, and whispered to him: “If you stretch the point difference to more than double digits before Kobe Bryant goes off the court, I think that matter will definitely pass.” ”

Li Wan nodded and gestured to him with an “OK” gesture.

Bryant noticed Odom whispering to Li Wan, slowed down and waited for him to come up, with a little 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. ”

“Is it? Bryant thought of something and asked, “If you send him a message, will he reply?” ”

“Come back, he…”

“Okay, got it! ”

“Uh…”

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

“Actually, I don’t often take it…”

He wanted to explain two sentences, and Kobe turned his head and looked at him motionlessly, making him automatically silence.

Li Wan on the field did not know that Odom had caused him a mess.

North Carolina-born Rashad McCantz carries the ball forward.

When Li Wan saw him, he thought of an interesting point mentioned by Lakers scouts.

McCantz is full of bad personality reasons, including a clash with former North Carolina coach Duher and current North Carolina coach Williams, fighting with the U20 team in the United States and cutting his throat in front of fans. It was considered a locker room bomb by scouts and was not selected by the Timberwolves until the 14th 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: a poor version of Allen Iverson, with a very sharp breakthrough. But in the two years since entering the league, he has become more and more fond of projecting on the outside. The template also changed from “poor man’s version of Allen Iverson” to “poor man’s version of Ray Allen”.

Li Wan specifically studied his career after entering the league, and also found a teacher from the university psychological club to help analyze his changes, and finally concluded that McCantz should not be hard.

Injuries have made him afraid of confrontation, and it has also made him focus more on long-range projection when choosing offensively.

But this conclusion was developed by Li Wan himself, and when the first ball faced him, Li Wan did not dare to move too forward, probably maintaining a small arm distance, until McCantz had been forcing Li Wan to retreat with a “hesitation step”, which made Li Wan more daring to post forward. McCantz didn’t have room to shoot, gritted his teeth and walked in, saw Turiaf defending, made a high dribble, and shot the shot.

Not hit!

Turiaf retreated while he shot, watching the rebound bounce ball very far out, he couldn’t reach it, just saw Li Wan rushing over, and then stuck against Walker, who wanted to bypass to grab the board.

Li Wan successfully rushed to the board, looking for Jordan Farmar’s position to fake the pass, Randy Foyer, who had originally blocked him, grabbed the position in advance, and the space in front of Li Wan suddenly became wide.

Vújašić ran fast on the flanks, and Li Wan, who was still in the middle line, passed the ball from a long distance, catching the ball as comfortably as possible and scoring a layup.

“Vujasić quickly attacked, assist Li ~ Wan! ”

“wow！ ”

“This pass reminds me of another famous surgeon, John Hunt, whose pass is as precise and sharp as a scalpel in his hand! ”

“This great！ ”

Staples live commentary Cheek Hearn was also ignited by Li Wan’s pass, and once again saw him such a sharp pass, he wanted to say that this ball is like “Magic” Johnson, but think that this is the kid’s second regular season, or don’t trouble him. I temporarily changed the word to my lips and described it as “scalpel” again, but with a different doctor.

Counterattacking and facing McCantz again, Li Wan did not test this time, constantly reaching out to interfere with his dribbling, McCantz did not dare to go further inside and give the ball to Randy Foyer.

Randy Foyer, who is physically fit, did not rush to attack, but called Jefferson’s block and successfully got rid of Fisher. Pitch in the frame and score the ball.

Timberwolves coach Randy Whitman applauded him, and when he accepted the Timberwolves, Randy Foyer happened to be traded, when his confidence was damaged because of the abandonment of the Blazers, and he didn’t slow down for a year, and entering his sophomore year, he seemed to have regained his college boldness.

In terms of talent, Randy Foyer is definitely at the top of the league, and he has what it takes to grow into an All-Star.

Compared to McCantz, who has become more monolithic in play, Whitman prefers him.

“One more of us! ”

Fisher spoke up to stabilize his teammates on the field, 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 running. Kobe also saw it, and blew a breath of disdain: “Do you still need to target this arrogant guy?” The Timberwolves really suck! WORSE THAN THE AVOCADO SUPPLEMENT THAT GIGI ATES! ”

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

“Bang! ”

Turiaf missed the basket, the ball was held by Jefferson, the Timberwolves countered, and Randy Foyer attracted the defense and passed the ball to McCantz.

perfect！

The timing of Randy Foyer’s pass made Whitman want to give him a high five.

That’s great!

But McCantz, who was originally rushing fiercely, noticed that after Li Wanneng followed him for a layup in time, his momentum suddenly weakened, and he counterattacked the blue in the sky.

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

Get up early and count the tickets, brothers!!!!
