The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 492, Practitioner of "Magic Ball Theory".

At the dining table, the snacks for the two of them were almost finished.

Li Senlin didn't know how Yi Jianlian found this dim sum restaurant in Washington. The Cantonese-style tea tastes good.

"Lin, what do you think about the national team?"

"Uh, I have no idea now!"

Li Senlin thought for a while and replied.

Li Senlin abused people everywhere in the NBA, and he was so aggressive that he beat Stern into submission.

But no matter how popular the Lakers are, they are just a club team in the United States.

Now domestic fans are eagerly hoping that Li Senlin can put on the jersey of the national team and see how Li Senlin can kill all sides in the international arena.

Due to various reasons, Li Senlin has not played a game for the national team so far.

Ah Lian is also someone who has been there, and he understands.

If the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team can't be crushed in Asia, apart from the problem of the coach, it is nothing more than a problem of the players' aggressiveness. Li Senlin also has his own ideas about not wanting to play this kind of garbage game.

For Li Senlin, except for the Olympics and the World Championships, the level of other competitions is too low and has no training value. If you want to play, at least the Olympics and the World Championships!
"However, Brother Yao said that you have some opinions on the Basketball Association."

Yi Jianlian smiled.

Yi Jianlian thinks that maybe Li Senlin came to the United States to play because he was not very popular in China.

"Although there are opinions, this is not the main reason."

Li Senlin knocked on the table, but at this time he didn't pay attention to the Basketball Association.

Li Senlin is not in the system. When Li Senlin went abroad, he was never worried that the Provincial Sports Bureau suddenly asked to build a gymnasium for them, and then sent Lakers players to help and guide them. He also asked for a commission from Li Senlin's salary before allowing it The matter of Li Senlin playing in the NBA.

The tragedies of Ma Jian, Da Zhi, and Yao Ming did not happen to Li Senlin.

Ah Lian was born in Guangdong very smoothly. The Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team is not counted in the Sports Bureau, so he didn't have so many obstacles
Yi Jianlian has seen a lot of friends who are troubled by system problems. In these respects, he understands many of Li Senlin's decisions very well!

"Oh, that's good. If you have something that you can't communicate with the relevant leaders, you and I can talk about it, brother Yao. We still have some right to speak in the national team."

"Well, it's mainly because I'm too tired and need some time to rest."

"Brother Lian, I don't want my life to be just basketball. I even thought about retiring after winning three consecutive championships, and then go to singing, filming movies, playing variety shows and so on."

Li Senlin expressed his opinion, he and Ah Lian can chat quite well, sometimes it's okay to talk about your own thoughts and worries.

Li Senlin received calls from some idiots in China, and wanted him to go back to play hot chicken games like the National Games.

"Haha, I see, I support you! You are much better than me and Brother Yao, and you will achieve even greater achievements."

Yi Jianlian being Li Senlin and Yao Ming complaining is a way to relieve stress.

NBA No.1 is not so easy to be.

The burden on Li Senlin is too heavy, and Yi Jianlian also hopes to prolong Li Senlin's career as much as possible.

But Li Senlin has to retire to play professional singing and filming. Ah Lian's brain capacity is not enough.

The two chatted for a while before leaving the restaurant.

The evening of July 11.

The game between the two teams is played at the home court of the Wizards.

After the Wizards got the new boss Leon Sis, everything seems to be about to turn a new page.

Yi Jianlian's joining this summer has made the Wizards have more highlights in the new season. Although he is only a substitute role, under the influence of the contract year, Ah Lian worked very hard and trained very hard every day.

In addition, the return of Arenas and the appearance of No. [-] pick Wall have brought a new look to the Wizards.

The status of the Wizards has been very bad in recent years, especially last season.

Boss Pauline passed away, Arenas fell into the "gun door", and the two main players, Jamison and Butler, were traded. In the end, they only got a record of 26 wins and 56 losses.

In such an unfavorable environment, some players have shown potential that has never been seen before. For example, the second-round pick Bratcher, he broke his personal scoring record many times in the game and almost got a triple-double. At the end of the season, he has become an insider that cannot be ignored in the league. This is the only bright spot of the Wizards last season.

Judging from the lineup changes in the summer, the Wizards did not lose any major players, and they even made a relatively good addition to the bench.

Yi Jianlian's deal is quite a bargain. After all, he was a starter in the first three seasons. Now the Wizards may use him as a substitute. This is already a profit, and Yi Jianlian's shooting ability will bring great benefits to the team.

Hinrich's addition could provide the Wizards with the veteran leadership they need, and he'll be a good mentor for Wall.

In the main lineup, the Wizards ushered in the return of Arenas. After being suspended for the gun incident last season, Arenas seemed to have matured. He has always hoped to use this season to prove himself again.

Although the addition of the No. [-] pick Wall shared Arenas' right to shoot, the general did not easily hand over the boss's position to Wall so early.

The arrival of Wall, the legendary No. 1 talent at the No. 1 position, will inject new vitality into the Wizards.

In the previous games, Wall has fully demonstrated the strength of the No. [-] pick and is in good condition.

The Wizards' schedule after the start of the new season is not easy at all. In November, they encountered many strong teams in the East, including the Celtics, Heat, Magic, Hawks, etc., resulting in their current record.

The Wizards' team advantage is also very obvious. Arenas returned and combined with Wall's best backcourt.

When the Wizards selected No. [-] overall pick Wall, their question followed: Can Wall and Arenas coexist?

This is an important factor directly related to the Wizards' record in the new season.

If handled properly, the Wizards are likely to form a frightening pair of backcourt combinations in the league. Arenas will reduce the pressure more and focus on scoring, while Wall's excellent athletic ability will make him quickly in the No. 1 position. Shine, the Wizards will have a very good core group.

But judging from the previous games, they obviously did not meet expectations.

Against the Lakers, the Wizards have some advantages, but not many.

In the game that night, the Lakers made full use of the Wizards' youthful inexperience, weak rebounding, chemical reaction, and lack of defense.

The Wizards were completely blown away.

The Wizards' young inside players, McGee, Bratcher, Armstrong, Yi Jianlian, Seraphine, Booker, these players all add up, and the Wizards' frontcourt only has 14 seasons of NBA experience, which is no different from the Lakers' insiders.

No. [-] pick Wall is just a rookie.

The Wizards' interior configuration does not have a particularly prominent player who is good at rebounding. Whether Bratcher or Yi Jianlian, they prefer shooting rather than rebounding.

This aspect has been fully verified in the game. Jordan has completely exploded the inside of the Wizards, and Li Senlin has 7 assists on Jordan.

Even if the Wizards are conscious inside, they do not have any advantage in physical confrontation with opponents, especially when facing Jordan.

On the perimeter defensive end, the Wizards are also relatively weak.

Whether inside or outside, looking at the whole team, only Wall and Hinrich are the best defenders, and other players do not have the awareness and skills of defense.

But the offensive rhythm led by Li Senlin is far from what Wall can hold.

So the Wizards have some tragedies.

The Wizards are not a team with stable centripetal force, and it is easy to get distracted.

Head coach Saunders has always been known for his lack of restraint.Secondly, there are several "problem characters" in the Wizards, including Arenas, the protagonist of "Gun Gate".

Their problems stand out.

The Lakers did not let go of this problematic team.

120:100.

The Lakers The Lakers regained their power in the three-point rain, scoring 70 points in the half, setting a new halftime high for the next season.

Li Senlin scored 21 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds.

Yi Jianlian had 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Carter scored 22 points, Lewis scored 12 points, and the two new aids played well.

After the game, the statistician was surprised to find out.

The Lakers made less than 10 mid-range shots in the offense. Most of the shots were either under the basket or three-pointers. Half of these 10 shots were Li Senlin's singles in the low post.

Although the three-point shooting rate is only 36%, the victory lies in the number of shots.

As a result, the Wizards were dragged into a fast-paced game by the Lakers early, leading to a 20-point halftime deficit, and their defense collapsed early.

So the Lakers won 6 consecutive victories and won 3 consecutive victories in the Eastern Expedition.

In the eyes of the fans, the Lakers' victory came very simply, and it was a big victory at every turn.
