Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 22: Post-Match Interview

The decline in physical fitness affected the state, Li Wan failed to hit a good shot with a good chance, coupled with the feeling that the Knicks improved the defensive intensity, Li Wan’s playing style was a lot of teamwork, and his containment allowed his teammates to score performance.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 110-98 to win the first game of the preseason.

Li Wan played 28 minutes and 15 seconds, shooting 10 of 15, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and recorded 25 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

I shot all of the first 6 in the first half and scored 14 points!

Shooting 66.6% from the field!

There were 3 mistakes.

However, both times occurred in the fourth quarter, when Li Wan’s physical strength was not enough.

This is understandable.

Anyway, Phil Jackson understood and was satisfied with his performance in this game, patted him on the shoulder, and said: “You showed your ability, well done.” ”

It added: “But this is only the first game of the pre-season, you have a lot to go through, keep up this momentum and you will become a better player.” ”

Li Wan nodded.

Phil Jackson is right.

He also knew that this was just a pre-season game, no one showed his real skills, and he was really in good shape at the beginning of tonight, and after he opened the “nerve knife” badge, he felt even more hot and exploded.

It can only be said that this is a smooth game, and it is impossible to maintain such a height in the future.

He was mentally prepared for this.

Fortunately, he was in this state in a game where he needed to prove himself, which made him happy.

His gaze swept to the other side, just in time to meet Thomas’s gaze.

Just now the “Smiling Assassin” had been looking at Li Wan, and when he saw Phil Jackson talking to him with a smile, his heart couldn’t mention how sour.

Originally, at this time, he should have been smiling and encouraging Li Wan…

But who let him be instigated in the draft!

He looked at Li Wan’s data, his eyes were hot, and then he looked at Chandler’s data, 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting more than 30% from the field, and had 5 turnovers.

The entire performance was completely crushed by Li Wan, not to mention how shabby.

He felt that his chest was blocked by breath, and he couldn’t go up or down. When Michael Jordan called “the dream team and he didn’t have me”, he never felt so bad.

But he still had to comfort a dejected Chandler.

This game is just the beginning of his career, the NBA has never been a place for discussion, even if it seems that Chandler is much less talented than Li Wan, let alone the speed of improvement.

But his own ability is still good, and he can mix in this alliance.

Walked to his side, grabbed his arm tightly, let him get closer to him, and cheered up: “It’s okay, Wilson, men, it’s all like this, the first time it’s like this, don’t think it’s you can’t do it, the back will be fine!” ”

Phil Jackson was already being interviewed at this time, and he was saying with an old god: “I have already said, everyone will see a different him, and the biggest surprise in the rookie in the new season will be him!” This is just the beginning! ”

His relaxed look made the reporter next to him couldn’t help but ask: “Did you expect him to play like this tonight?” ”

I can expect a ghost!

Phil Jackson expects and expects Li Wan to play well and become a better player.

But the “good performance” he thought about was different from what Li Wan showed tonight.

But the words became: “We know his strength, the extent to which he can go, he was the first person on the Lakers to be replaced on a substitution tonight, which proves that we are clear about his ability, after all… He is something we watched grow step by step! ”

This caused an uproar among the reporters at the scene.

At this time, they also reacted, the reason why they were so surprised was completely because the original Li Wan could not play such a performance even if he was in good condition.

He can improve, in addition to his own efforts, there must be someone to help him, this person… “Zen master” is worthy of “Zen master”, this ability to adjust newcomers, is really too strong!

Phil Jackson was pleased with the effect and ended the interview so far.

Kobe Bryant was also surrounded by reporters, and when asked about the performance of the newcomer, he pouted disdainfully: “It’s just a preseason game, if it’s just a preseason game to win a championship, then I can now build a house with a ring…”

As he spoke, he was still complaining in his heart: “Look at these guys who have never seen the world!” ”

It’s just that after the staff dispersed the reporter who was interviewing, he secretly walked to the trainer he knew well, and looked around with a thief’s heart, as if he was afraid that people would find out: “Do you have Li’s contact information?” Give it to me. ”

The trainer was surprised, but quickly took out his mobile phone and gave him Li Wan’s phone, Kobe looked at it and wrote it down, and carefully compared it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked the trainer to keep it secret and not let others know about it.

Li Wan also knew Kobe’s evaluation from the group of reporters surrounding him, and smiled seriously, the preseason is indeed nothing in front of stars of that level.

But today’s performance really allowed him to regain the heat of the NCAA Finals hit at that time.

Look at the gang that is around!

The Lakers reporter looked at his humble appearance, happy in his eyes and happy in his heart.

Who doesn’t like a newcomer who has strength and won’t cause trouble?

After answering the questions, he returned to the locker room, pulled out his phone and saw the message sent to him by Greg Auden.

– Man, you’re running away again, great tonight, see you tomorrow!

After a brief reply of “OK”, he packed up and planned to go back, Odom also wanted to call him to go to the nightclub, this time he refused, tomorrow the Lakers all fly to Portland, challenge the Trail Blazers, this will be the first away game of his NBA career, he wants to rest early,

Odom was not reluctant, he could also see that Li Wan, who was third on the team tonight, was very tired, and the young man’s physical fitness when he first entered the league was indeed a problem and needed a good rest.

When Li Wan arrived home, Kobe was already home.

Vanessa, who was wearing black curly hair, greeted her with a smile in black silk pajamas. Kobe changed his clothes and wanted to go back to the room first to take a look at his second daughter GIGI, who was born last year, causing Vanessa to roll her eyes, the little pink fist “attacked”, the two came to the door of the room with a fight, consciously stopped, and entered the room quietly.

SEEING THAT GIGI WAS ALREADY ASLEEP, KOBE TOUCHED THE LITTLE GUY’S PINK FACE WITH HIS HAND, POKED A SMALL PIT, COULDN’T HELP BUT SMILE, AND DIDN’T BOTHER ANYMORE.

Back in the living room, watching the basketball news on TV, he suddenly thought of Li Wan, who played brilliantly tonight.

Do you want to send a message to encourage Li Wan, a little newcomer?

He did really well today…

But think about it, this is only the first preseason game, let’s take another look!

Kobe dismissed the idea again.

Get up early and ask for advice and support!!!
