Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 73: End of November

The good news for Fisher is that the Lakers’ next game will be to take on the Dallas Mavericks on the road.

The Mavericks’ backcourt combination of Jason Terry and Devin Harris are all good players, whether it is Gibson of the Cavaliers or Tinsley of the Pacers, there is a certain gap compared to them, and Li Wan faces a much bigger challenge in this game than the previous two.

As long as Li Wan’s performance in this game is not good, then Fisher’s starting position in the No. 1 position is still stable.

At least in the opinion of the “old fish”, it is so!

After seven or eight years of relationship with Phil Jackson, he can’t lose his starting spot because of a rookie with an erratic performance.

So……

Devin Harris and Jason Terry, take out all your forms and blast this rookie!

If it weren’t for the away game of this fight, Fisher might have gone to church to pray. Perhaps because he did not go to church to pray, Fisher’s wish was not fulfilled.

In this game with the Mavericks, Li Wan’s presence was very strong from the beginning, first playing a “2 plus 1” by himself, and then continuously assisting teammates to score.

The Lakers, under his leadership, played a wave of 12-5 scoring.

At this time, Kobe Bryant didn’t even exert his strength.

Phil Jackson looked at the Lakers’ methodical offense on the court, and with joy, glanced at Fisher.

“Old Fish” saw that he was watching the game well, suddenly turned his head to look at him, and immediately understood that this old man did not hold back his fart.

Sure enough, Phil Jackson approached, looking good for him: “Derek, go back and let the team doctor check it again, maybe it’s not well, in case of hidden dangers, when the time comes, you are one of our most important members of the playoffs!” ”

“You don’t want to… Sit on a cold bench then, right? ”

Looking at his serious appearance, Fisher was in a trance, almost nodded, but fortunately reacted in time.

I believe you are a ghost, you old man is very bad!

“Coach Phil, trust me, I’m really well! ”

Fisher looked straight at Phil Jackson with his small eyes, hoping that the manager who had trusted him so much would continue to trust him.

Phil Jackson found it boring.

The current Fisher makes him feel like a girlfriend who doesn’t love anymore and just can’t bear to say that he broke up, the problem is that this girlfriend still wants to go back to the past.

Can……

Li Wan is really fragrant!

People who have fought with their aunt, will they still think that the little girl has a lot of fun?

It’s just a pity that tonight’s game, which started well, the Lakers ultimately lost.

The turning point of the game came at 5:15 in the third quarter, Novitsky shot like a divine help, constantly burrowed into the basket, Phil Jackson changed the formation continuously, let different interior players to defend him, did not play a good role.

While the inside line was burst, the Mavericks bench also stood Jerry Starkhouse, a veteran to continue the firepower, on the other hand, on the Lakers side, after Li Wan got the starting lineup, there was no point on the bench.

These two factors allowed the Mavericks to complete a spectacular comeback on their home turf.

When Nowitzki hit a key goal at 10:15 in the fourth quarter to bring his single-game score to 30 points, stretching the gap to 10 points, the Dallas people in the audience couldn’t help but stand up and cheer for him.

The past two years have been two heyday, but also embarrassing years for the Mavericks.

They had a decent record in the regular season, and in the ’06 Finals, they were reversed by the Heat and eliminated 4-2 after leading 2-0; In ’07, the first in the West, they met the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, allowing the latter to play a round of the “Black Eight Miracle” and were eliminated 2-4.

It was also the upset in the first round of this year’s playoffs, which made the “soft egg” hat on Novitsky’s head more sturdy.

But at this moment, they cheered for Novitsky mercilessly, they wanted to let the “German tank” know that even if the entire alliance is mocking you, we still believe in you, and when you are at your best, we will send the most excited cheers!

Nowitzki was undoubtedly lucky to meet Mark Cuban and meet Dallas people who would believe in him. In the end, he also staged a “miracle” of persistence in the future!

Kobe Bryant shot 9 of 23 from the field, and he was not in very good shape today, and I don’t know if Jason Terry wore his pants and sucked all his “essence” away.

Although Terry was mediocre overall, he steadied the situation with two consecutive three-pointers when he was most needed to score.

Li Wan scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, compared to Devin Harris’s 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, which is a clear advantage.

Mavericks coach Avery Johnson frowned on the sidelines, but he didn’t have much to say, and the Dallas media didn’t blame Nowitzki much, but took all the anger out on Harris, naming him “the most disappointing player in Dallas” for two years in a row.

His playoff performance in the past two seasons is really not washable.

But……

The Mavericks need to have a No. 1 position that can control the pace of the game.

That’s what Johnson feels the biggest problem in this game.

The Mavericks were suppressed in the first half, in large part because of the confusion of the command of the guard line.

Devin Harris and Terry basically played singles by themselves.

The Chinese newcomer on the opposite side is so strong in organization that people drool!

Leaving Dallas, the Lakers’ November games are all over, and in 15 games, they have an 11-4 record, ranking second in the West and only to the Hornets, who are first in the West, one win away.

From finishing seventh in the West last season to currently second in the West.

This achievement exceeded expectations.

After all, Lakers management didn’t make a big move this summer and didn’t bring in strong reinforcements. Just look at Kobe’s stinky face at training camp before the season, he is not optimistic about the new season.

But I didn’t expect that Bynum’s growth, as well as the draw of Li Wan’s “good signing”, of course, the most important thing is that Li Wan’s “good signing” actually made such a big change in this team.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as “earth-shaking”.

When the Los Angeles media summarized in November, they described Li Wan as “the most surprising Lakers player of the season”!

And when November 30 arrived, not only the media in Los Angeles, but also the media of the entire league came with a wave of praise.

ESPN called Li Wan “the most surprising player of the first month of the season”, tied with Danny Granger for the top two on the list. Yes, ESPN’s list is not only evaluated in the Lakers, but screened in the entire league, and Li Wan is still the top two on the list!

“Bleachers” said: “Kupcek’s draw gives Celtic’s Ainge an opponent in the Best General Manager award. ”

Boston made a big move this summer, and General Manager Angie made two big deals, getting Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen from the Timberwolves and Seattle, respectively, to form the “Celtics Big Three”.

“Bleachers” puts the Lakers’ draft and Boston’s movements together, which shows the surprise that Li Wan brought to the entire league.

As for Sports Illustrated, they have reached out to Li Wan’s agent, Tyren, to invite Li Wan to shoot the magazine cover, which will be used on the cover of the first issue of Sports Picture in December.

It is no wonder that in the November summary, the eyes of the media are on Li Wan.

Before the start of the new season, who would have thought that this defensive rookie, who averaged only 6.6 points per game in the first year of the NCAA, could repeatedly cut double-digit points in a single quarter in the first month of entering the league, and against a supergiant like Allen Iverson, he could average 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game, shooting 43.3% from the field, 39.8% from three-point range and 85.6% from the free-throw line. Just 1.4 turnovers per game!

This is reflected in the data, and the data does not reflect … His flamboyant personality, the attributes of “nerve knife”, these labels make his whole person more attractive!

When Kobe Bryant mentioned Li Wan, a rookie who often engages in his mentality, he also had to admit that this kid has brought new vitality to the Lakers, and his existence is becoming more and more important to the Lakers!

Thanks to Ming Muzi for the 305 coins.

Get up two times early, brothers, a new month has begun, ask for votes, ask for votes!!!
