Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 113: The Choice That Must Be Made

Allen Iverson has been fierce lately.

Especially after the third round of the All-Star first round of voting came out.

There have been three 30+ and two 40+.

Such a small person, quite a capable.

His mind is on the bright side, and he wants to regain his All-Star starting spot.

Appreciation is appreciation, but he does not feel that he has reached the age to make way for his juniors.

This season, he averaged 26.4 points, 7.1 assists and 2 steals per game, scoring and assists are the highest on the Nuggets, and he is still a supergiant performance.

Including this game from the beginning of the full combat power, after scoring the first goal aggressively, and then scoring consecutive difficult shots, even with Kwame Brown to help make up for the defense, Li Wan’s defense in front of him is still as brittle as Maddie’s knee.

The whole world knows the reason why Allen Iverson took the right wing, but no one could prevent it, Li Wan also found it, all the singles of this guy holding the ball, is to force the defender’s center of gravity to shift to the left, if you don’t follow the past, he will continue to lie, there is always a moment, your body can’t help but follow to the left, at this time, he uses a large change of direction, step by step from your side.

This is Allen Iverson’s breakthrough art.

Li Wanwan called him “the strongest breakthrough hand”.

In fact, before the league allowed joint defense, Allen Iverson was indeed the same as Shaq, an existence that no one in the league could limit, and reached its peak in 01, which led to Shaq’s phrase “He is the little me!” ”

By the end of the first half, Allen Iverson alone had 16 points.

But even so, it was the Lakers who led the way.

Li Wan does not have a breakthrough means like Allen Iverson, but he also has an advantage in playing Allen Iverson, and his method … It’s also a lie!

How the “answer” steal came from, the people of the alliance are basically clear.

I especially like misplaced interceptions.

In ’01, Larry Brown paired the “African Mountain” Mutombo and the “Blocking King” Ratrice on the inside, which allowed him to lose his position unscrupulously.

But the Nuggets don’t have that kind of defense.

As long as he is tricked into losing his position, then it will be easy for Li Wan to break through or attract a defensive pass.

The Nuggets are averaging 110 points per game this season, top three in the league, but they also concede a whopping 107 points, also in the top three in the league.

You must know that the Heat, who are currently ranked first in the East, have only lost an average of 108 points per game.

They are known for their ability to score and their reputation for losing points.

Li Wan scored 10 points in the first half, along with five other assists.

Three were given to Kobe.

Not surprisingly, tonight is another rhythm of feeding Kobe Bryant.

Well, on the books of the main Lakers now, Odom has never had the desire to attack, and only occasionally comes to the occasion that he will actively participate in the offense.

This is also related to his excessive sucking and mental concentration.

Even so, he still won the “best sixth man”, which shows how exaggerated his talent is.

Kwame Brown can finally eat a little “pie” now, but only under the basket. His style of play has long been set, and even if he regains his confidence, he only has more changes in attitude, which mainly improves the defense, and is of little use for the attack.

Luke Wharton is more of a smart ordinary workhorse than an attacker, and his talent is more on display in the position of strategy and running, and it is unrealistic to expect him to catch the ball and shoot several long distances in a row.

Therefore, only Kobe Bryant can improve his assist conversion rate.

In the first half, Kobe and Cameron Anthony were also hot, sweating, panting, and competing from the beginning, and the two even had two fouls, both of which were given to each other.

The encounter between the representative of league scoring and the soon-to-be representative of league scoring is so tense.

Speaking of which, if Anthony defends Kobe Bryant every night, he may be able to enter the “best defensive team” at the end of the season.

For Kobe, he really worked hard!

George Carr never emphasized who was defending Kobe Bryant before the game against the Lakers.

Everyone knows this. Everyone knows who defends Kobe.

The game quickly reached the fourth quarter of 7 minutes and 15 seconds.

The Lakers temporarily led by four points at 108-104.

Seeing that he couldn’t prevent his opponent, George Carr twitched his head and put JR Smith on the court.

The “Anshi Rebellion” reached a bond.

Li Wan is the same as when he played the Nuggets game before, and he asked for the ball to play misplaced with Kobe Bryant, and it is good for Cameron Anthony to have Kobe in his eyes, but he has Kobe in his eyes, which is a bad thing.

First, Li Wan’s own three-point score, and then assisted Kobe Bryant to break through the changing defense of JR Smith with the ball to complete the score.

With this wave of scoring climax, the Lakers defeated the visiting Nuggets 118-111,7 points.

Allen Iverson finished with 40 points and seven assists. Li Wan’s score ended up “only” 20 points, exactly half of him.

Although lost the game, won the data.

What fans love to watch the most is not the star score, not to mention that Allen Iverson is so good when he plays.

He went on so fast, Li Wan felt that the All-Star starting position he had finally won was going to be lost. However, Li Wan did not suffer too much in this regard.

After all, this is one of the league’s “popularity kings” for many years, with deep roots, Li Wan remembers that when he crossed over to school, one of the posters of the “Basketball Vanguard” was Allen Iverson wearing the back of the Philadelphia 76ers, and the boys in the class bought this issue of the “Basketball Vanguard” as long as they watched the game, for this poster of Allen Iverson.

It can be seen that the group of “Ai fans” is huge.

The Allen Iverson “small group” chased by domestic fans in those years is a star of the magnitude of Kobe Bryant and Maddie, and they can’t touch the existence of porcelain.

Li Wan felt that if he really lost to Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson, there would be no problem.

After all, the two defenders with the most ruthless popularity have met him.

Bryant scored 15 points in a single quarter tonight, scoring 38 points and beating Cameron Anthony’s 25. Once again, let the “melon” know that the future is good, but now is not the future.

Winning the game and winning the data, the “Black Mamba” is very happy, and Odom dares to ask Li Wan loudly in the locker room “whether to go to the nightclub”!

Li Wan shook his head, and after the interview, he first walked around the entrance of the stadium and did not see Ivanka.

Let’s go?

Impossible…

The clothes haven’t been given to me yet…

Li Wan thought about it, reacted, and went to the VIP channel.

He suddenly reacted, the sideline position where Ivanka sat today was next to Nicholson, which was almost a big guy year, and the Lakers management also prepared a VIP parking lot for this group of “honorable” fans.

If Ivanka is not outside the arena, then it is most likely in the parking lot.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Wan entered the parking lot, there was a double flash from the car. Running towards the car, the window next to the driver’s seat opened, revealing a sweet-smiling, well-made face, it was none other than Ivanka.

When she first watched the game, she was still wearing a khaki trench coat, and she didn’t take it off for the whole game, and Ivanka who was sitting in the car had already taken off her trench coat.

Li Wan also knew the reason.

It was a black lace vest.

This rich girl really loves to find excitement!

Is it every day to pretend to obey her father’s well-behaved appearance, holding back the illness?

Li Wan thought it was very likely.

After all, she later backstabbed her father, and there was a related revelation: in order to get her father’s love, she didn’t spend much effort to please her father.

These thoughts were just for a moment, Ivanka unlocked the car, and after Li Wan got into the car, the two people didn’t say a word, and got down to business first.

This battle was Li Wan’s battle after half a month, and Ivanka lay like this for a long time, half ringing, as if she was only awake, and lit a slender lady’s cigarette.

The hand holding the cigarette was casually placed outside the car window, and the pink color on the nails was unexpectedly harmonious with this cigarette.

She reached out and ruffled the ends of her loose hair, brushed it back a few times, and at the same time looked at Li Wan, her eyes were almost able to draw.

Looking back at the suit in the back seat of the car, Ivanka reluctantly said: “The clothes have been sent back to you, what excuse should I make next time?” ”

This is to be about next time.

Li Wan didn’t think much about it: “If you want to, the clothes can be put here, so that you can have an excuse at any time.” ”

“Huh~” Ivanka smiled and nodded in agreement, “Then it’s settled.” ”

After smoking a cigarette, Ivanka still has to go back to the company, and the price of coming out to watch the ball for one night is that she has to go back and work overnight, but tonight’s experience makes her feel that it is worth it.

Before Li Wan got out of the car, she suddenly asked again: “Li, do you have any plans to buy a house in the area east of Sunset Avenue?” ”

“Huh? ”

Li Wan tilted his head and glanced at her.

“You can buy one, and I think in a year you’ll find out that it’s a good investment.” ”

“Uh-huh! ”

Li Wan is not stupid, naturally he can understand what Ivanka is saying. Back in his car, he immediately called Taryn to ask, the situation over there, did not directly do it.

The United States is experiencing a subprime mortgage crisis.

There are too many housing bubbles, and he can’t just use Ivanka’s words to smash a million knives in vain.

However, after learning that the land tax over there has been stable in a relatively high range, and there has been a rumor of investment in business circles, Li Wan felt that he could try it.

Real estate investment in the United States mainly depends on whether it is next to the business district, and whether it is next to the school, other factors have little impact. At the same time, in areas with high land taxes in the United States, the price of houses is generally relatively stable and fluctuates less.

Even if Ivanka’s intelligence is wrong, how much money he smashes out, he should be able to recover the principal. ——It is worth mentioning that the 50,000 US dollars that Li Wan sent back earlier, his parents also bought a set of two bedrooms and a living room worth millions of RMB in the magic capital.

Li Wan hadn’t thought about what to invest in, but now that cheap intelligence was not used and wasted, he asked Tyren to investigate and help him choose a house of about one million there.

If after a year, there is really investment in the business district, the return is still considerable.

Early the next morning, the Los Angeles media continued to promote “Kobe and his Pippen.”

Yesterday, Li Wan’s performance was suppressed by Allen Iverson, but he still sent 20 plus 10 data, and his cooperation with Kobe Bryant was so harmonious.

The key moment is also his continuous cooperation with Kobe Bryant to win the game.

Li Wan, who passed the ball, Kobe Bryant, as a tackler, is there anything more “Jordan Pippen” than this?

Just didn’t wait for Lakers fans to have more ideas, the Lakers suffered a “three-game losing streak”!

First challenged the Spurs on the road, let Tim Duncan cut the luxury statistics of 30 plus 12 on the inside, and that night, he dreamed back to 03;

Then back at home against the Wizards, Jamison played the same as Nowitzki, cutting 28 points in a single game, coupled with the play of Arenas and Caron Butler on the outside, and finally beat the Lakers by 7 points;

Kobe Bryant averaged 30 plus per game in these two games, and Li Wan also had regular statistics of 18 plus 10 in these two games, and both men played at their level, but in the end they didn’t win.

The last game of the “three-game losing streak” was against the Boston Celtics.

If in the first two games, the Lakers can still play back and forth with the opposite side, then this game with the Boston Celtics makes all Los Angeles people understand how far the Lakers with Kobe and Li Wan as the core are from the championship.

In this game, the man behind Rivers Thibodeau took a different approach, did not care about the scoring Kobe, but set his sights on Li Wan on the No. 1 position.

Layers of containment, cut off Li Wan’s connection with Kobe, coupled with a variety of close defense, this game, Li Wan is a little “original”, 37% shooting percentage, only 10 points, in addition to 4 turnovers.

Kobe Bryant scored 35 points alone, but the Lakers still lost to the Celtics by 15 points…

In the whole game, the Lakers did not take a single lead in the score.

After this defeat, January has 4 days left and only 18 days before the free exchange closes!

ESPN wrote a heated headline – “The Lakers have reached the threshold of decision, now or in the future!” 》

Li Wan scored 52 points in a single game, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that his future prospects are limitless, and at his current growth rate, in a year or two, he will inevitably become one of the best players in the league.

It’s really not surprising that the Lakers treat him as a non-sale!

The point is…

Would Kobe be willing?

The whole league knows that the 30-year-old Kobe is desperate to win the championship as the absolute core of the team.

Really wait for Li Wan to grow up in two years, who will be the absolute core of the Lakers by then, I’m afraid no one dares to guarantee, right?

Even if Li Wan is still willing to assist Kobe Bryant at that time, when it comes to the contract year, his top salary, and the positioning of him in the future … These two points alone have forced him to compete for the core of the team.

You know, the league has always had a saying that Pippen has not taken off the “second old” hat throughout his career because he has been around Michael Jordan for too long, missing the best stage of his growth and honing his ability to be alone.

The way to play this thing is that it will be fixed…

Li Wan’s temperament has been seen by the entire league, and he is definitely not willing to be just the second in charge of the team!

“It is true that next season Bynum is back, and the Lakers are still the favorites, but don’t forget that after entering the league in ’05, Bynum has been reimbursed twice in three seasons! ”

Bill Wharton, as a commentator, rarely speaks off the court, but this time he rarely speaks to the media: “Maybe it’s alarmist, but these are really a difficult decision for the Lakers to face!” ”

Kobe Bryant’s compulsion last summer is still in sight, and if he ends up in the first round or semifinals this season, who knows what he will do this summer!

Moreover……

“There is only one last chance left for the Lakers! ”

Yao Ming has just extended his contract for 2 seasons, and Tim Duncan and Nowitzki are unlikely to move.

In addition to these three, Kevin Garnett has just joined the Celtics, and once he wins the title, it is absolutely impossible to leave the Celtics.

The rest can still be regarded as at the peak, and can partner Kobe…

Only Paulo Gasol remains!

Missing out on the Spaniards leaves an impossible option on the market – Shaq O’Neill.

This “old diesel” still has oil.

Can……

Everyone knows that before proving that he can win the championship without leaving Shaq, Kobe Bryant will not be teammates with Shaq again.

And the injury-ridden Shaq and Paulo Gasol are at their peak…

Anyone who doesn’t know the ball knows who is more worthy of chasing.

Barkley also regretted the current situation of the Lakers: “Winning Li Wan in the draft is the most beautiful thing the Lakers team has done in addition to keeping Kobe Bryant, but unfortunately, this season, they selected Li Wan…”

If it was 05 and 06, when Kobe Bryant himself was still honing his skills, he chose Li Wan, then there would be no problem for the Lakers!

Now…

I was not born, I was born and I am old.

It is equivalent to spending 10 years “Michael Jordan” waiting for Pippen.

You say, can “Michael Jordan” not be in a hurry?

You know, Kobe’s goal is not just a shake, his ultimate goal, without a doubt, is definitely to become a shooting guard who won the “three-game championship MVP” achievement after Michael Jordan.

To the maximum, catch up with Jordan!

At the age of 30, every season is really invaluable…

Just look at the later 26-year-old LeBron James.

Why leave Cleveland?

The Cavaliers, who had already squeezed salary space, could no longer carry his championship dreams, and he desperately needed a championship to prove himself!

26-year-old LeBron is so anxious, let alone the now 30-year-old Kobe!

Kupchek has indeed started again.

After losing to the Celtics, the elder Bass called that night to ask him to restart the trading plan.

But on his withered face, dark clouds were thick.

Before hanging up the phone, he asked the old Bass again, just like the previous time, “Li Wan can trade.” ”

Old Bass, who gave an affirmative answer last time, hung up the phone this time after silence.

This meaning can be understood as a default …

But if there is a problem with the transaction, and he backhands and does not admit it, then it is him, the general manager, who is behind the pot!

Kupchak was so sad that he really wanted to lock the office door and cry bitterly.

It’s hard to be the general manager of the Lakers!

Originally, Li Wan was selected in the summer, and he thought that he would get a “big king” who “can attack and retreat”. Instead, it turned out to be a “hot potato”.

I already knew what to fight with Phil Jackson, listen to his early trade, and the one who backed the pot would become Phil!

Kupchek in his seventies finally understood that sometimes, it seems to have won, but in fact it has already been lost…

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that the media did not expect all kinds of analysis, and speculated that Li Wan’s name appeared more and more in the transaction rumors.

No way, ESPN has already set the atmosphere to this extent, Kobe Bryant or Li Wan, fools know who the Lakers choose.

Li Wan didn’t seem to be bothered by the transaction message at all, but still lived his own life, doing his best on the field, training and training off the field, and lace news on lace news.

On January 30, the league officially announced its All-Star starting list.

Kevin Garnett, as he was, because of Yi Jianlian’s threat, he was supported by public opinion and won the only All-Star “ticket king” of his career.

The Eastern Conference All-Star Team was finally released, with the starting five: Jason Kidd, Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Howard;

Among them, Howard was on the All-Star starting roster for the first time in his career.

It’s time for him to go in too!

Last season, he was the league’s best three, and this season’s statistics are 20 points and 12 rebounds per game that can only be played by top insiders.

On the western side, the final list is: Bryant, Li Wan, Cameron Anthony, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming.

Li Wan was a little surprised when he saw that he was still in the top two of the Western Defender line.

Because Allen Iverson’s last week was so hot, averaging more than 35 points per game, Li Wandu secretly voted for him.

Unexpectedly, he could actually hold it!

The league, facing questions from the Denver media, released the final stage of voting.

Judging from the results, 56% of Li Wan’s votes came from China, and Allen Iverson’s dividends on the other side of the ocean also ate a lot, of which 45% came from China.

The 10% gap, in fact, is really not obvious, it is about 70,000 votes, remove these 70,000 votes, Li Wan still beat him by about 30,000 votes in this round.

In the end, Li Wan also won the final victory with an extra 170,000 votes.

Interestingly, according to the official data released by the NBA, in the last two days of January, Li Wan’s votes in the American states increased.

It was precisely when there were more rumors about trading him…

California’s vote accounted for 12 percent of the total votes cast in Phase IV.

The rest are made up of American states.

Two of these states stand out.

Is this a welcome to me?

Good……

New York State and Ohio Impression score plus 10 points each!

However, Ohio seems to have only one NBA team, right?

The Cleveland Cavaliers…

Could it be that this time the “brother basketball” has me?

He was bored to study the proportion of votes in the states, and the first time the domestic fans learned the news, they rejoiced, and the hard work of many days finally paid off, “Li Wanba” is very lively, very lively:

“Li Wanniu Pen! ”

“It’s not easy, it’s 170,000 more votes, but squeeze out the peak Allen Iverson, this is enough to blow for a lifetime!” ”

“Two Chinese players appeared for the first time in the All-Star Game, awesome! ”

“I’m already tied to the TV now, and wherever I go, it has to be mine on New Year’s Day!” ”

“Great talent upstairs! ”

“It’s a pity that Yi Jianlian couldn’t enter, otherwise it would be 3!” ”

“Don’t mention Lian Mei, as soon as he says that he will be angry, the sixth pick in the first round, that’s it?” ”

“Major injuries are really a problem…”

“People are good! Angrily picked 2 points and 1 board, the UAE smiled slightly, he has gained the trust of the head coach! ”

……

It’s not that they don’t know the news that Li Wan may be traded, but in their opinion, Li Wan is an all-star starter…

Everywhere you go, it should be the boss’s treatment, right?

In this case, they have nothing to worry about.

And as far as Li Wan’s ability is concerned, there is no need for them to worry …

He is not Yi Jianlian…

With the UAE League’s consecutive injuries, he played only ten minutes many times, scored a pitiful 2 points and 1 board, coupled with the media tout, the number of domestic “easy black” officially reached a certain scale.

At the same time, the NBA suddenly made a big deal.

Pat Riley suddenly reached a deal with Suns general manager Steve Kerr without warning, the “Shark” traveled west to Phoenix, and the “hacker” Marion used the Suns chip to unlock the “single exchange O’Neal” achievement.

It can be seen from here that O’Neill is now in the league, he has officially retired from the top ranks, and now he is only a quasi-first-line player in the eyes of the general manager of each team, and because of injuries, his value is still declining indefinitely.

“Shark” swam a total of 5 times.

From the beginning, Orlando “traveled” to Los Angeles, then from Los Angeles “east” to Miami, and now “toured” to the West Coast, and then he will travel east twice.

But since then, the influence has been smaller and smaller.

But why did Steve Kerr, the general manager of Phoenix, and Griffin, the future general manager of the Cavaliers, still want to gamble on him?

This has to say, the iron law of alliance building.

All the templates for general manager team building are the lineup templates for those champion teams.

The Bulls “Iron Triangle” won two “two consecutive championships”, and many stars at the end of their careers chose to follow in their footsteps and form the “Big Three”, and then the “OK” combination was born in 00 years, and the championship template of the entire league changed again.

It has become the “one inside and one outside” that most teams are still pursuing.

Maddie went to the Rockets in ’04, why did the outside world look forward to it so much, because in the eyes of most media and experts, it has reached the core conditions of the “champion template”.

Then, Shaq O’Neal and Wade won the championship in ’06, proving that a strong enough outside player can win the championship with an inside “second assistant”.

This is also why, after 07, the Lakers have had scandals with every big man.

Kobe, strong enough!

Kevin Garnett, Paul Gasol, Yao Ming, whoever partners with him, guarantees a championship…

Originally, Paul Gasol went to the Lakers, and Popovich immediately said that this was a naked robbery, because he knew that giving Kobe a Gasol could win the championship!

From this, it is understandable why Steve Cole brought in Shaq, he just wanted to fight according to the “OK” combination model.

After all, halfway through the season, the Suns are currently ranked sixth in the West, fatigue has been shown, the potential of this team has been squeezed out, it is better to fight, become a success, do not establish a trade, push to rebuild.

Later, it was revealed that at this time, Kerr was already targeting Stephen Curry, wanting to grab him as Steve Nash’s successor, but unfortunately finally let the Warriors cut off his beard, and in desperation, he chose to resign to calm the anger of the Phoenix.

Of course, no one knows.

It is worth saying that this trend of creating an “OK” combination has almost stopped in the past two years, LeBron James fought with the Celtics in the East for three years, painfully determined, brought his talent to Miami, formed the “peak Big Three”, so far, the “Big Three” has become the winning mode…

It’s just that in 19 years, the Raptors won the championship, and the “single-core” leadership of the small card changed the atmosphere of the league, and the Lakers got LeBron James to form an “OK” combination model of “one inside and one outside” again.

NBA, it’s also a circle…

On the first day of February, there was such a big movement, and the splash was also very large…

First and foremost is the Lakers, Shaq went to Phoenix, which means that they don’t even have imaginary impossible objects, and there is now only one Paul Gasol left on the market!

Ready-made “champion templates”, to or not …

Kupchek is also tangled.

In recent days, his connection with Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace has become close again, but the other party bites and does not let go, does not take out Li Wan, there is no need to talk.

Kupchak also understands …

If Li Wan hadn’t scored that 52 points, he wouldn’t have wanted it.

Now Li Wandu has become the second rookie in history to score 50 points in a single game in his rookie season after Allen Iverson, and if he is not required to be put on the negotiating table, he is afraid that the general manager position will have to be swallowed the next day.

Switching Kupchek to the opposite position, he is now only more determined than Chris Wallace.

But if you must join Li Wan…

Kupchak felt that he had lost …

Yes, even if Li Wandan replaced Paul Gasol, he felt a loss!

No way, Pau Gasol’s ceiling is already there, All-Star player, the best two…

But what about Li Wan?

As far as what he did in New York, no one knows where his limits are!

But this is from his point of view …

It is impossible to give a peak Paul Gasol and give him two first-round picks… Right?

Kupchek called and asked, although he thought it was impossible, and Chris Wallace listened, silent, his hands trembling slightly, gritting his teeth to force himself to gently put the microphone down.

Only then did he scold: “fxxk, your yard!” ”

Resentful tone, resentful expression!

He also heard for the first time that the peak All-Star changed a rookie, and he had to take a first-round pick, no, Kupchek actually mentioned two!

Wow, big cities have seen the world differently!

Is that how they are traded?

Chris Wallace instantly felt that his pattern was not open.

While negotiations stalled, Li Wan won his second “Rookie of the Month” trophy of his career.

The photo in the middle has changed its posture, still so handsome.

In January, which just ended, even if there was a brutal “7-game away streak” and non-stop gossip, but because of Bynum’s season reimbursement, he got more possession and went out of the phone, and his average points per game in January increased again, breaking through 20 points for the first time, averaging 21.4 points per game, and thanks to his partner Kobe, the number of assists was also full, averaging 8.6 assists per game, which is already the league’s first-class assists.

Add in an average of 4.8 rebounds and 1 steal.

This allowed him to defeat Kevin Durant, who also averaged points per game, and reclaimed the “Rookie of the Month” in the West.

Kevin Durant averaged 23.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, except for scoring, he was not as good as Li Wan, and his advantage in scoring per game was not obvious.

It is not surprising to lose to Li Wan.

Durant himself knows this.

Li Wan scored 52 points in a single game, and he also held his breath to prove himself, but the problem was that when January came, he was really tired, and other teams in the league touched his offensive habits, resulting in how he spent the rest of the month brushing, and he didn’t score more than 25 points in a single game.

This month is wasted, and next month, Kevin Durant vows to fight hard to get his Rookie of the Month trophy back!

He still has a lot of handsome postures that are useless!

Li Wan was also not very satisfied with his performance last month, and his crotch pulling in the second half made him almost miss 39% shooting percentage per game in January.

Three-point shooting is even lower, at 35.3 percent…

It’s really “bright for a while” with Kevin Durant!

Fortunately, few rookies shot well in January, including Al Horford, who won three consecutive Eastern Conference “Rookie of the Year awards”, and shot about 45.5% in January.

As an insider, this is clearly substandard.

The Western “Player of the Month Award” belongs, as Li Wan knows, to Dayao. He averaged 25.4 points and 12.3 rebounds that month and led the team to 12-3 losses.

It is worth saying that the game with the Warriors at the end of January was the same as the original, with Dayao 30 plus 15 data leading the team to win.

At this time, no one knew that a winning streak that was about to go down in NBA history was about to begin!

Tyren met with Li Wan.

The house that Li Wan asked him to buy, after careful comparison, he found several experts in the industry to discuss, synthesized the opinions of these people, and chose a house with a good location to buy, that is, the money was a little over the budget, about 1.3 million yuan, after this house was bought, Li Wan had less than 1 million left in his hand.

Fortunately, at the end of the month, Nike had already hit 50% of the first-year sneaker endorsement fee, that is, 6.25 million US dollars, into Li Wan’s card, otherwise Li Wan would have tightened his belt again.

In addition, he also brought a news, David Stern came to a call, want to ask if Li Wan has the intention to participate in the three major challenge events.

Li Wan was not surprised.

After 52 points, he is arguably the hottest person in the league, especially since he has been in the trade message recently, and the huge topic he carries is impossible for David Stern to ignore.

That is, Yao Ming’s own height is not suitable for any of the three major challenge events. Otherwise, Yao Ming back then was afraid that he would also have to “choose one of the three”.

It’s just that Li Wan refused.

He has to play the Rookie Challenge again, and he has to play the All-Star Main Game, plus the “Big Three Challenges” in between, does he still have a rest this All-Star weekend?

Well, the key is these three, he is not confident of winning the championship, wait for next year’s “Shengong” to go further…

And only if he rejects David Stern will the latter realize his vision at another event!

“I certainly want the four of us in Ohio to play the Rookie Challenge together, which is a cool thing! ”

The East and West All-Star substitutes have also been selected in the past two days, and it is estimated that the tournament team is now arranging the rookie challenge list, and as soon as Li Wan was interviewed that day, he officially opened the “Cook Grab the Position” in accordance with the agreement on the night of “Christmas Eve”.

Like him, Auden, Conley and Cook will respond to reporters’ questions in the same way.

With his current huge popularity and the impact of rejecting David Stern’s three major challenges, the four of them entering the Rookie Challenge together should be a sure thing.

Because only in this way can the gimmick of this Rookie Challenge come to the maximum.

In order to make up for the traffic lost by Li Wan not participating in the second day of the All-Star game.

As Li Wan expected, on February 3, just after the Lakers’ game against the Timberwolves, he got the news from reporters: he, Auden, Cook, and Conley were all selected for this rookie challenge.

The remaining five places are: Yi Jianlian, Kevin Durant, and the University of Florida’s Noa, Horford, and Brewer.

All the players who entered the NBA from the two teams in the NCAA Finals last year will cooperate on the stage of the Rookie Challenge, especially the contradiction between Li Wan and Noah is well known, this combination is not to mention the fans, even Li Wan himself, feel an inexplicable expectation!

It just so happens that the next game is when the Lakers take on the Heat.

Coming to the enthusiastic Miami, Cook, who had just learned that he could play the Rookie Challenge, warmly welcomed Li Wanyi and called out the hottest girl.

However, for this kind of nightclub girl, Li Wan only touched it, had an addiction, and did not communicate in depth. For women with similar professions, he has always avoided it.

And after becoming more and more famous, he even went to nightclubs less often.

In order to prevent an illegitimate child from appearing out of nowhere, Li Wan’s current targets are all on the bodies of those celebrities or models and celebrities. In the entertainment industry, the bottom line of morality is relatively low, and it is not taken seriously, let alone cause unnecessary trouble, and there are no messy ideas.

It can be seen that Cook is really happy, drink after drink, this mouth has not closed. ——I don’t know if black teeth will appear whiter,

On January 5, the Lakers’ away game against Miami officially arrived.

With Shaq O’Neal gone, the Heat’s “swing rot” plan was carried out more thoroughly. The whole team except Wade, everyone else is dominated by brush points, this state, Li Wan has seen it before on the New York Knicks, no wonder Cook averages 8 plus 3 per game or feels that he is hopeless, in this kind of team to take this data, really can not attract the attention of the league.

108-98, the Lakers easily took the victory from Miami.

Li Wan seemed to see that Pat Riley showed an old fox-like smile in the general manager’s office, and chanted in his heart: Stabilized, stabilized, this is stable!

On January 7, the Lakers’ next stop is to take on the Cavaliers on the road.

As soon as he walked out of the away players’ tunnel, Li Wan received a warm “welcome” from all the fans, one by one, with an excited and resentful look, as if Li Wan had done something to them.

It seems that so many votes in Ohio have little to do with Cleveland.

In this game, Cavaliers fans ended up laughing and leaving the arena.

Yes, as they wished, the Cavaliers guarded the home court and took out the Lakers, who came to challenge on the road.

Kobe Bryant scored 30 points, Li Wan 21 points and 8 assists, and the performance was normal as always.

But the Lakers still lost the game by 9 points.

LeBron James played very eye-catching, 29 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, just 2 assists, won a “triple-double”, shooting as high as 50%!

He is one of the heroes who can win for the Cavaliers.

Plus the reason why the Cavaliers can win…

is the big Z on the inside, he played the same as Yao Ming in this game, 23 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, and was a blessing on the inside of the Lakers.

The Lakers lost again on the inside.

After Bynum’s season reimbursement, as long as the opponent’s interior line is above the league average, whether offensively or defensively, the Lakers’ interior will inevitably be exploded.

Also, Odom’s No. 4 position with an outside style of play plus a Kwame Brown, such an inside combination really does not make people expect much.

After this loss, the rumors about the Lakers trade reached a peak.

After all, there are still 7 days left before the start of the All-Star weekend, and these 7 days, the Lakers must have a break.

From their current situation, if there is no big deal, I am afraid that they will have to fall in the first or second round of the playoffs…

Now the problems inside this team are too big!

“OK, got it, that’s a pity…”

“Snap! ”

Kupchek hung up the phone, and he already knew the news of the Lakers’ loss to the Cavaliers on the road.

In the past two days, he has changed his mind…

If you really build a team with Kobe Bryant and Li Wan as the absolute core, then what is missing from this team?

Michael Jordan’s phrase “we’re one rebound away from a championship” came to his mind.

Yes!

Wouldn’t it be enough to add an inside gate like Rodman?

But he really didn’t expect it…

The general managers of other teams in the league are linked to collusion, saying okay, but any trading partner with some ability is “Li Wan must be put into the negotiating table!” ”

One by one, the attitude is resolute…

Because they all know that change for the Lakers is imminent, and if it doesn’t happen now, there is bound to be even greater shock this summer.

At this time, how could the general managers of other teams let go of this opportunity for Kupchak to be the “unjust leader”?

What’s more, since your Lakers came to Los Angeles, how many years have they robbed the core of people, and these teams now have a chance to take revenge, will they not slaughter them fiercely?

His predicament seems to be normal!

“Whew! ”

The office was quiet, and Kupchek could clearly hear the “click, click” of the clock hanging on the wall, and the shaking of nerves in his brain, one after another.

Now everything is obvious, want to change, the whole league is waiting for the Lakers to hand over Li Wan.

In a situation like this…

Kupchak had to formally consider trading Li Wan.

If Li Wan is taken out as a bargaining chip, then the natural choice is undoubtedly Paul Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Although the Bulls took out Ruhl Deng and Ben Gordon, and the Pistons took out Rashid Wallace, as long as the Lakers came out of Li Wan, then the other two could only rest.

And they spent so much money running for Paul Gasol, who is best suited for Kobe, especially the Bulls, it’s hard not to think of their follow-up moves…

But!

Anyway, it’s a loss to take out Li Wan and change only one Pau Gasol!

Kupchek told Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace about his thoughts: “I need more chips, this is a super rookie who can cut 52 points in his rookie season!” ”

When he said this, the 70-year-old Lakers general manager felt that his heart was dripping blood.

Chris Wallace was calm this time, he also knew the reaction of the general managers of other teams, and he was back in the lead, which made him very relaxed.

When people work in a relaxed state, their efficiency will become higher.

“I can give you more to gain, man, let’s video connect and I’ll introduce you to a collaborator who can make us both happy with the end result!” ”

I should not be satisfied with anything.

Kupchek muttered silently.

Let him take out Li Wan, no matter who he exchanges back, he will not feel earned.

Get your computer ready and click on Chris Wallace’s video request.

On a three-way call, Kupchek saw himself, then Chris Wallace, and in another frame, the man positioned the camera and slowly moved his hand away.

Kupchek narrowed his eyes.

He saw clearly.

Magic general manager Otis Smith.

When did this guy hook up with Chris.

Kupchak saw that it was him, and his face was full of surprise, this was someone he didn’t expect at all.

Chris Wallace also officially said his trade plan at this time: “I will bring you Paul Gasol and a second-round pick, and the Magic will give you Jamil Nelson, the starting point guard on their current roster, as well as JJ Redick and Ariza…”

“Then Li Wan…”

“Will trade to the Magic! Magic general manager Smith spoke.

You actually don’t want Li Wan?

Kupchek almost blurted out at Chris Wallace.

This person he now regards as a treasure, Chris Wallace actually does not want?

But think that Li Wan didn’t score 52 points in a single game at the beginning, and this guy didn’t even mention Li Wan’s name, and Kupchek is not surprising.

This grandson is now completely fascinated by the genius OJ Mayo who is known as “Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant”!

If Kupchek were to say what he was saying at the moment, Chris Wallace would definitely be excited: “You’re right! ”

He’s really thinking about OJ Mayo right now.

Although Li Wan is good, he observed, this guy’s singles ability is not outstanding, the scoring is based on the breakthrough after Kobe Bryant’s containment, or the catch and shoot, and he can only rely on blocking and dismantling by holding the ball to get rid of the defense.

The Grizzlies don’t have Kobe, and he can’t be as good as he was on the Lakers.

OJ Mayo is different, look at his technique and his physical fitness, the future emperor superstar of the second place in the alliance!

And selling Li Wan, he can get two first-round picks from the Magic, and a second-round pick, and the Lakers also need to give him a first-round pick and an expired contract player to balance the trade, which is equivalent to saying that he has earned three first-round picks with a Pau Gasol! It can also clear up space for tens of millions of salaries.

To do business to do his job, he wants to ask, who else!

Kupchak did not say yes at the first time.

Even if this reward is indeed very ideal, it can meet all the problems of the Lakers now, the inside, wing defense, and even after Li Wan leaves, the offensive ability of the No. 1 position can be filled.

Nelson is averaging 10.9 points and 5.6 assists per game this season, and has scored more than 16 points in the last three games, and is getting better and better.

With Kobe’s containment, his numbers can definitely get better.

But……

This matter is too serious, this is Li Wan who has 52 points in a single game!

Old Bass didn’t speak, he really, couldn’t make up his mind.

At the same time, Li Wan also learned about this from Taryn, and when he heard that he would be traded to the Magic Team, his eyes lit up.

Originally, he didn’t care about trade rumors because he knew the final outcome, and if he left, it would be the Grizzlies.

Memphis……

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t match him.

And to run there, is to compete with Mike Conley for the number one spot. – He is now playing the most comfortable position in the No. 1 position, and the trend in the league in the future is that the No. 1 position takes the ball, and he doesn’t need to change positions with a roar.

The devil knows when it will come out of the mix…

You can’t get involved in management deals so quickly, can you?

Not to mention that Chris Wallace listened to him, even if he did, who would come to a small place like Memphis?

Orlando is different, although it is also a small city, but it has already developed!

The next few years were a strong period for the Magic.

The most important thing…

If he’s not mistaken, Jamison will have a big blast next season, averaging 16 plus 7 per game and making the Eastern Conference bench on All-Star weekends.

This shows that the No. 1 offensive scene on the Magic team will not be less.

On the other hand, who are the Magic’s starting point guards next season?

Nelson and Alstom, one can burst, the other can pass and catch and shoot, who are these two combined?

Isn’t this him Li Wan?

Therefore, his status on the Magic team will not be affected.

Data and status are guaranteed.

Looking at the Lakers’ side, if the Lakers don’t make changes for him this year, once they can’t get results, who will be the first to be held accountable?

It must be him!

How deep the love is now, how deep the hatred will be when the time comes…

If the Lakers had made a change and he hadn’t gone and Paul Gasol had come, it would have been the best outcome for the Lakers.

Not quite for him.

The arrival of Pau Gasol is bound to take part in the offensive end, and he remembers that “Old Fish” Fisher averaged less than 10 points per game, starting after the arrival of Pau Gasol.

Even if his tactical position is definitely higher than Fisher, it cannot be higher than Gasol.

Where the “triangle tactic” is played, there is no example of the number one strategy.

And after Bynum returns, he will definitely have to occupy a certain shot, he wants to stay here, and the ball may not be enough points next year.

Over there, Nelson Jr. relied on the Magic team’s style of play next year to reach the All-Star for the first time in his career, and the tactical status of this side has all declined…

How to choose, does Li Wan still have to consider?

Other than that……

Chris Wallace, this little thing brain circuit is really incomprehensible!

It is worthy of the general manager who gave Paul Gasol for nothing.

Don’t say anything, get little Gasol is not a loss.

This is purely hindsight, the Lakers took the initiative to send him a second-round pick, because there was really no player who could balance the salary, Chris Wallace had two choices: Sun Yue or Gasol Jr., his choice was to let the Lakers choose, the Lakers chose to keep Sun Yue, and Gasol Jr. went to Memphis.

Chris Wallace didn’t take “Great White Bear” seriously the whole time…

Of course, Li Wan didn’t know that before he scored 52 points in a single game, Chris Wallace didn’t even mention his name when he was negotiating, otherwise he would definitely refresh his cognition of Chris!

“But Kupchak didn’t say yes at the first time…”

There was no doubt in Tyran’s words, and Li Wan also knew what he meant.

Afraid of the back pot, afraid of the difficulty of doing …

The general manager of the Lakers is indeed tough enough!

Li Wan spoke: “Then let’s be this bad guy, we have been dangling in the trading rumors for half a month, it should be over!” ”

To be precise, the rumors of trading him have not stopped since the beginning of the season and have recently reached their climax.

So it’s not too much to express your dissatisfaction and want to leave, right?

Tyren said that he understood, and immediately called Kupchak, and as soon as the phone was connected, he heard Taryn’s voice on the phone: “Li Wan, apply for a deal!” ”

No one guessed this result, right?

I buried the thread several times in front.

Morris Evans was mentioned twice, and he was cut and given a close-up, because he was the one the Lakers used to trade for Ariza.

If he is gone, the deal for Ariza is naturally gone.

At this time, the Magic naturally have chips to participate in the game, Nelson, Ariza, Redick plus Paul Gasol, the Lakers in the current league-wide demand that they hand over Li Wan, the best return.

Li Wan also helped the Grizzlies get three first-round picks.

Needless to say, the Magic strengthened the No. 1 position.

If anyone still talks about reducing wisdom in this deal, then I really have nothing to say.

For Li Wan, I think this is also the best arrangement!

Where is the coolness, I shouldn’t need to say it, right?

I don’t think anyone has ever used this routine!

Finally, I was a fan of Allen Iverson a long time ago, and then I didn’t fan anyone, and I won’t forcibly hack anyone, some of the views I quote are also objective facts, in this world, there is no perfect star, especially the Internet is so developed, black material can immediately know, I hope that brothers treat the novel as entertainment, don’t be so on the line, everything is mainly relaxed and happy.

Today is 13,600 to give, this is Li Wan’s first season, the story is still long, brothers with regrets don’t worry, everything has a dream come true, but after all, Li Wan is the protagonist, it is impossible to be a little brother for so long.
