Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 18: Preseason is coming

Phil Jackson threw in peach, and Li Wan reciprocated: “Coach Phil took good care of me, not only Coach Phil, but also Coach Phil Handy, all of them took good care of me. ”

When Kupchak saw these two interviews, his hand holding the coffee cup was shaking in anger.

Wow, this old thing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

In a simple sentence, the reason why Li Wan was not chosen at that time was attributed to others. At the same time, he also labeled himself as a “tuning expert”.

At the beginning, it was not that he did not choose Li Wan, but when others were coaching, Li Wan’s greater potential was not tapped.

Now that I met him, the real shining point on Li Wan’s body was also stimulated!

More importantly, Li Wan’s attitude is true to Phil Jackson’s words.

A potential crisis quietly defused him.

When Old Bass knew about this from Kupchek, he also nodded helplessly.

It is worthy of being the one who soaked his daughter, and it is indeed not an easy thing to deal with him.

The main thing is that this old boy reacted too quickly, he just tentatively said that “the newcomer in Huaxia will trade him for a price”, and the old boy immediately guessed that this was digging a hole for him.

However, Phil Jackson said so confidently that “Li Wan will be the biggest surprise among rookies”, and Buss is still looking forward to the upcoming preseason, what kind of performance Li Wan can play…

When interviewing Li Wan, ESPN reporters also mentioned that the first game of the preseason is coming, and whether he will have some thoughts about this game.

Li Wan said bluntly: “No matter who it is, in such a situation, they will hope to play well!” ”

NBA 07~08 season, the first game of the Lakers’ preseason, sitting at home, to face no one else, it is the New York Knicks.

When Thomas saw this scene, he felt that he had the NBA director targeted.

Now the outside world has spread that in the 07 draft, Thomas originally wanted to choose Li Wan, but he re-elected Wilson Chandler at the last minute,

The New York media is paying attention to the game, and they are looking for an excuse to let Thomas get out.

The Chinese newcomer performed well in the summer league and heard that Wilson Chandler, who was opposite him, was very bad.

It’s just that it’s a summer league, and no one will say anything about the summer league.

Although the preseason is not an important game, it is similar to the warm-up game, but in terms of intensity, it is not much different from the early days of the regular season.

If Li Wan blows him up again, then the public opinion war can be started first.

Li Wan sat on the bench, clicked on his system and took another look.

“Field of view: 85 (90); Possession: 65 (82); Passing: 65 (85); CIC: 61 (82); Three-pointer: 60 (85); Breakout: 57 (85); Layups: 57 (80); Back: 19 (50); Dunks: 58 (84); Dunk in place: 31 (45); Offensive card slots: 50 (60); Empty cut: 71 (84); Off-ball runs: 71 (83); ”

Offensive attribute page, he has made a lot of progress again. As his possession has increased, his passing ability has also reached the league level, and with his excellent vision, he sometimes makes some passes that Phil Handy sighs.

It can be said that it has basically reached the level of substitute rotation in the league.

It may sound like it’s only mid-table in the league, but he’s most of the abilities, not one or two, and it’s not an exaggeration to say “half-step start” for his comprehensive ability on the offensive end.

He is quite satisfied with such growth in a summer.

“Lee, get ready to play! ”

Phil Handy’s voice came out of nowhere, getting him ready to play. He did not hesitate, took off his training clothes and walked towards the players’ waiting area.

Maurice Evans watched Li Wan pass in front of him with a bit of disdain and a little hostility in his eyes.

This Huaxia man really threatened his playing time!

“Look, the newcomer is on the field! ”

“So soon? The first substitution put him on? Didn’t it say before that Phil didn’t agree to choose him, it was all Kupcek’s idea? ”

“Kupchek is a beater, it should have been the idea of the elder Bass. ”

“Man, when did you get all this news, it’s long outdated! At yesterday’s media open day, Phil Jackson rarely opened his mouth to boast, saying that Li Wan was the biggest surprise. ”

“Normal, there is a saying in our hometown, men are eels change, let alone old men! ”

Li Wan stood in the waiting area, ready to play, the discussion on the sidelines reached his ears one after another, he ignored it, handsome men, it is inevitable to make people talk, this is a matter in the Ganges.

The Los Angeles media has previously hyped up his summer league statistics, coupled with Phil Jackson’s words, Lakers fans are now very curious about him.

Thomas, who was standing on the sidelines of the bench opposite, saw Li Wan and beckoned to the bench, and Chandler took off his training clothes and walked quickly in front of him.

With a signature smile, Thomas asked, “Are you okay tonight?” ”

Chandler nodded confidently: “Of course, rest assured, coach, I will definitely not live up to your expectations!” ”

After the summer league, Chandler trained himself fiercely, and now he is stronger than before, he feels… This time he definitely can!

Thomas was very satisfied with his confident appearance and patted him on the butt to let him play.

How good Chandler is, he stood on the sidelines during Knicks training camp and could see clearly. Averaging 10 points and 3 rebounds per game in the new season is not a problem, and in this rookie, he definitely has the strength of the upper level.

No matter how Li Wan transforms, it is impossible for him to transform into one of the top newcomers in this session, right?

This is unscientific!

“Toot! ”

The referee’s whistle sounded on the court at this time, and Lakers inside “Little Shark” Bynum hit the former “Little Shark” Eddie Curry on his back and made the latter’s defensive foul and made two free throws.

One easy hit.

Li Wan landed on the field, and Turiaf on the field took the initiative to say hello to him, and he raised his hand in response. On the Lakers, Turiaf is one of the few people Li Wan feels the most uncomfortable.

Odom also takes good care of him, but the feeling of “I am the big brother, you are the little brother”.

However, Turyaf may be from the second round show, and he empathizes with their gang of newcomers with bad prospects and treats them very kindly.

It is a pity that the developed underarm sweat glands of the French allow him to only “avoid”. Li Wan was a little guilty about this, and when he wanted to catch a cold, he hugged Turiaf more often, and he should make amends.

Listening to the footsteps approaching, he turned his head and saw Wilson Chandler looking at him intently.

“I didn’t expect to meet so soon, but why didn’t your mouth twitch this time? ”

While speaking, Li Wan intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Thomas on the bench next to him.

The “Smiling Assassin” was also looking at him, his eyes facing each other, and Thomas could clearly feel Li Wan’s fighting spirit.

Chandler listened to his words, his brows locked, the whole person tensed, and did not respond, he wanted to respond to Li Wan’s trash talk with practical actions!

Get up early and ask for recommendations.
