Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 24: The Trail Blazers

“It’s here, it’s here, let’s go, let’s go! ”

Odom, dressed in a black and trendy suit, threw away the playing cards in his hand and got off the plane with a roar.

The flight of the plane is very boring, so the players will find some entertainment on the plane. Texas Hold’em is one of the most common entertainments.

Li Wan is not good at Texas playing Texas Hold’em.

Today because of the lack of people, Odom shouted several times, and he could only go to the table.

Seeing that everyone was so anxious to throw cards, he didn’t say anything, gathered a wad of dollars in front of him, stuffed them into his bag, and got off the plane with him.

“Man, didn’t you say you’re not good at playing Texas Hold’em? ”

Odom finally didn’t hold back and asked Li Wan on the bus.

Li Wan nodded: “I’m really not good at it, in the field I’m good at, there is no Texas Hold’em…”

Bynum said in a weird way: “You’re like Kohler Kardashian saying his ass is not big!” ”

This made the whole car laugh.

Except for Kobe Bryant, who sat at the back.

And Odom looked at Bynum, raised his hand, and said dissatisfied: “Hey, Andrew, that’s called sexy!” He forbade others to say that about his “goddess.”

Hey, what a bad fate!

Li Wan looked at the appearance of Odom, who had not yet become boyfriend and girlfriend with Kohler, and sighed in his heart.

Bynum, who lost money, was still in a yin and yang strangeness, Li Wan looked out the window and automatically ignored, he could understand that Bynum was unhappy with him, because on the plane, Bynum was the most lost among several people, losing about 5,000 dollars, and Odom was less than him, and also lost more than three thousand.

Only Li Wan won alone, and in just a few hours on the plane, he earned almost 10,000 US dollars.

It’s not how powerful he is, but the Lakers’ “charity gambling kings” are too dish. “Dimensionality reduction strike” It is normal for one person to kill three families.

That’s why he doesn’t usually play with them.

If you win more, you will inevitably not handle the relationship between your teammates well.

Today he believes not, because this is what Odom shouted N times before he reluctantly agreed. Winning 10,000 is not too much. In fact, even if Bynum and Odom get rid of him, it doesn’t matter, he is not an American, and he has no habit of pulling out a gun for this.

As soon as he stayed at the hotel, Li Wan received a call from Greg Oden, and before leaving, he took out a stack of money won from his bag, counted about 5,000 knives, and handed it to Carl, who lived in the same hotel with him: “You should go to the nightclub with Lamar later, right?” Give this to him, and say that they will be invited to drink. ”

Carl took it and said he knew.

“Ding! ”

Li Wan walked out of the hotel, and a Land Rover parked not far from the hotel door sounded its horn. The door of the rear car opened, and a hill-like man showed his head. With an excited smile on his face, a thick layer of forehead lines on his smile.

Again, blacks generally don’t look old, with the exception of Greg Auden.

“How? restored…”

When Li Wan spoke, he looked at his leg, and his right knee was still tied with a thick protective gear.

After the draft in June, Greg Auden followed Li Wan’s advice and went to Phoenix to check with the “Divine Doctor” team, and sure enough, something went wrong…

During this examination, the doctor found that there was a broken bone stuck in the cartilage in his knee, which could not withstand the training of large exercise, and if it was not removed, it would be stuck and cause wear, and it was likely to be reimbursed for his rookie season.

“It’s okay, thanks to you, let me double-check, it’s not so bad now, maybe I’ll be able to play before December.” ”

Auden’s young man’s face was a little more happy.

“It’s just that the doctor also said that my situation is more complicated, and the injuries in high school were not taken seriously, leaving hidden dangers, and now it has only eliminated some potential factors, and I still need to continue to observe.” ”

When he said this, he couldn’t help but be a little worried.

Looking at Auden’s face that looked older because of worry, Li Wan was relieved: “Take your time, Mo Ning’s kidney failure can return to the court, you just have some dark diseases left by the original injury, which will be cured.” However, I advise you to keep in touch with the doctor who will perform the operation on you. ”

Li Wan is well aware of the Blazers, which can be called the “center grave”. In addition to the unspeakable feng shui theory, it also has a lot to do with the “veterinary team” of this team. In the case of Auden, it is necessary to keep in touch with the “Divine Doctor Team”. For the champion with an annual salary of 4.06 million, this is not an unaffordable expense.

Auden felt that Li Wan was right.

“By the way, did Mike call you? ”

Li Wan boarded the car with Oden, sat in the back, greeted the driver, and drove two honorary students of Ok Orn University to the restaurant Auden’s reservation, and talked about Mike Conley on the way.

“I called, and I talked until 3 a.m. that day, complaining more than Jada Pinkett Smith said Will Smith wasn’t home. When did he say that? ”

Lee hasn’t taken another call from Mike Conley since.

He can also understand that Mike Conley became famous in high school, from the moment he entered Okyo State University, he became the core of both the offensive and defensive ends, and later became the first round fourth pick in the draft, this kind of high-profile genius, almost did not encounter any setbacks, and now enters the league to encounter some problems, some frustration is quite normal.

But understanding is understanding, not answering the phone is not answering the phone.

The only thing that made Li Wan feel a little headache was that the next time he saw Mike Conley, I was afraid that this child would be more chattering. Now he hopes Mike Conley will secure the Grizzlies’ starting lineup sooner. This way he won’t be so irritable.

Of course, he knew, soon Mike Conley wouldn’t have that trouble.

It felt good to have dinner again with my old teammates, especially this meal that cost hundreds of knives. As Cook said that night while looking at the moon, see you next time and they’re all millionaires.

The effect of the hospitality was still quite obvious, and when we met again the next morning, Bynum was no longer yin and yang, although not much enthusiastic.

Li Wan didn’t care if he could become good friends with Bynum in private, as long as he could cooperate on the field, that would be enough. After getting along, he could feel that Bynum was like a spoiled child, being friends with such people, giving too much and not necessary.

This summer, the Trail Blazers have undergone a big change.

Brandon Roy and Aldridge selected in 06 played at the level, Roy won the “best rookie” in 06, in the history of the Trail Blazers, the last best rookie was Sydney Wicks in the 71~72 season, 34 years ago, which gave management the confidence to send away the only all-star level player in the team Zach “Lazy Man”, the era of “Blazer Prison” is completely over.

What is left is endless sighs, and criminal records aside, the Trail Blazers are really full of talent.

When the Lakers entered the stadium, about five or six thousand fans booed together. For the Portlanders of “Rose City,” the Lakers are their mortal enemies. If it weren’t for them, the Trail Blazers would have won the Cup for the second time in ’00.

It’s just that they regard the Lakers as mortal enemies, but the eyes of the Lakers have never seen them, and at the Staples Arena, the only one who can make the Los Angeles people boo the waves together is the Boston Celtics.

Li Wan felt the boos from the audience, this is his first away game in the NBA, probably because of the small number of spectators, he feels that it is not much different from the NCAA’s regular season away.

In this game, the “double snake” battle between Kobe and Brandon Roy is the biggest attraction, and the further mature Roy can already carry out offensive and defensive confrontation in the face of Kobe.

To say that the management of the SuperSonics or Thunder at this time is indeed good, ’06 is a real “draft year” in the traditional sense, but both of their choices are very good.

It is worth mentioning that Aldridge and Roy were both obtained after their trade, which is undoubtedly more difficult, not to mention that Roy also has knee risk.

The games, trade-offs, and changes in mental activity during this period could ruin the deal, just like Thomas, who boldly traded upwards and wanted to choose Li Wan, but at the last minute, he finally chose to give up and win Wilson Chandler, who seemed more secure at the time.

Li Wan also felt what the league’s upper-level defense is like in this game. When facing him, Li Wan could not be as calm as the last game.

In addition, on the offensive end, when playing against the soon-to-be All-Star-level player Blazers Xinnu, Li Wan felt an unprecedented degree of trickiness.

The defensive ability of the starting level is somewhat inadequate in front of such a well-rounded player.

In the end, his solo defense was not very effective, and Roy shot 5 of 9 against him.

After Li Wan cooperated with his teammates, he gradually gave some responses on the defensive end. However, on the whole, when the defensive end met Roy, he was still suppressed, and the blockade flank did not do the last game, and he faced Chandler well.

Phil Jackson has some regrets, but thinking that Kobe Bryant’s defense effect on Roy just now is not too good, I don’t think this is a big problem.

And despite the defensive end failing to limit Roy, Li Wan still felt quite a good feeling on the offensive end, and broke out in the third quarter, single-handedly cutting 7 points in a row, helping the Lakers complete the score comeback during that time.

Such scoring explosiveness is something the Lakers desperately need on the bench.

15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, this is Li Wan’s last data in this game, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to get such data, although not as brilliant as the last game, but not inefficient.

107-98, the Lakers left Portland with a one-game win.

The current preseason record is 2-0.

Get up two times early, and the brothers come to count the tickets.
