The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 546, the duel of power forwards.

Li Senlin VS Nowitzki
This is one of the highlights of the pre-match media hype.

This season, because of Jim Buss' fierce operation, the Lakers traded the decent All-Star Gasol for the aging Carter. Carter was not in good condition and did not make up for Gasol's scoring. Forward Lewis is also not strong.

As a result, Li Senlin, who is 201 tall, was frequently pushed to the power forward position to confront the opponent's inside line.

Li Senlin is fine, but he may be more vulnerable to injury.

There is no doubt that Nowitzki of the Mavericks is the top power forward in the league, and Li Senlin is a man from one to four.

The collision between the two of them tonight is bound to be sparks hitting the earth.

The performance of the two in the first half did not disappoint the fans.

Both are representatives of almighty, and Li Senlin led the Thunder to eliminate the Mavericks last season, so their duel has a sense of top scorer competition and revenge.

Nowitzki scored 22 points in the first half, and Li Senlin scored 32 points. .

But even though Li Senlin is the super giant of the visiting team, there are still many fans on the scene who were impressed by his personal charm, and cheers began to replace boos.

Intermission.

Lakers locker room.

Because the score was tied in the second quarter, everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

Carter said to Li Senlin: "Li, do you still plan to attack like this in the second half?"

Li Senlin was sitting in front of his closet to rest at this time, panting heavily, raised his head and replied, "I don't want to attack like this either."

Then Li Senlin took a deep look at Carter.

The Mavericks consume too much for Li Senlin. Li Senlin hardly takes a few shots open. Every time the Mavericks attack the Mavericks, they start to defend from him receiving the ball. Marion is too familiar with him. He is very familiar with Li Senlin. Every attack habit is well understood. If Li Senlin feels uncomfortable, he will force Li Senlin to that area. When his teammates feel average, Li Senlin has to spend more energy to deal with the calf striker. defense.

Throughout the first half, Li Senlin was both a father and a mother.

In back-to-back situations, neither Paul George nor Lu Wei was completely hardened when fighting tough battles, and their handling of the ball was unreasonable.

If it weren't for Lu Wei's two unreasonable shots and Paul George's singles error, the Lakers might have led by 5 points now.

Of course, Li Senlin would not choose to blame his teammates in this situation.

Carter fell silent when he heard Li Senlin's words.

He knew what Li Senlin meant. Li Senlin didn't have a suitable helper, which caused him to carry too many things now.

Carter touched his head and didn't say much.

This problem can only meet Li Senlin's requirements for "helpers" only after Kobe comes back.

It's not that Lu Wei, George and others are not good enough.

It's just that Li Senlin's standards are too high.

Last season, Li Senlin stayed with teammates at the level of Westbrook and Durant, and now he will inevitably "look down" on his current teammates.

Intermission time.

Bryant also watched Lakers games together on ESPN in Los Angeles.

The commentator asked a sharp question: "Kobe, the Lakers seem to be inseparable from Lee, and now many opponents expect you to cause some trouble for Lee after returning to the team."

Kobe said frankly to the ESPN commentator: "I have no quarrel with Lee. We have a good relationship in private. We discussed buying a plane some time ago, and my two daughters like him very much, so I expect the Lakers to fight. The guys can give up, I unconditionally support any action he takes."

Black commentator: "Then who is the boss of the team?"

Kobe smiled and said, "Of course it's me. That guy has money, but he never pays for meals with me. He said he pays for it every time in OKC. After he came to the Lakers, he naturally had to let me pay for it."

Black commentator: "Then after you return, how will the ball be divided?"

Kobe: "I'm like Lee, I can do anything, the coach asked me to play center, and I can do it"

Kobe knew Li Senlin's hard work, and he really wanted to come back, but the doctor told him that he could only come back in the playoffs at the earliest.

Kobe continued: "I like him very much. I appreciate his attitude towards training. Occasionally this guy will arrive at the training hall at 4 o'clock in the morning with a flashlight, haha."

For the Lakers fans, Kobe's remarks undoubtedly boosted their confidence.

Kobe and Li Senlin seem to have a good relationship in private.

Kobe's paranoid character didn't make Li Senlin feel uncomfortable, and Li Senlin didn't seem to value the boss position so much.

Although the Lakers fans have been worried about the relationship between Thanos Lee and the Black Mamba before, whether the two top super giants will be difficult to tolerate each other, Kobe and the others love each other very much, but Li Senlin is the future of the Lakers, and fans are afraid that Li Senlin will be because of There was a dispute over the possession of the ball with Kobe.

But now hearing the news of Li Senlin's appreciation from Kobe, many people are still shocked.

After all, the words from Kobe's mouth are still much more credible than TNT, ESPN and other media streams.

Also excited are Chinese fans.

In China, Kobe is now the second most popular player. Of course, people who hate him may also be the most in the world. Anyway, they heard affirmative words from the Lakers boss. The performance has more expectations.

This season, Chinese fans can be said to be heartbroken.

First of all, Yao Huang suffered the most serious injury in his career. The injury is extremely pessimistic, and he is very likely to retire.

Secondly, the Chinese team had a poor record of 1 win and 4 losses in the World Championships. They entered the round of 16 by luck, and after losing the game, they shouted the slogan of training.

The Chinese team is the only team that dares to take the World Championships to train and not compete for honor. All of this makes Chinese fans feel angry and ashamed.

And Li Senlin has almost become the fans' only hope.

We have 1 win and 4 losses because "the best player in our country did not come!", our strength is still the top eight in the world.

All this makes Chinese fans full of expectations.

With Li Senlin joining the Lakers in July, and when Li Senlin got the affirmation from Kobe, it made them even more excited.

Many people began to call on Li Senlin to enter the national team as soon as possible on various occasions.

However, Kobe's affirmation did not make fans of other NBA teams take it seriously. Almost 90.00% of the voices on the fan forums were ridicule and black.

The combination of Li Hei and Ke Hei is also the largest fan group in the world.

"The strong female offender and Cha Zhennan are two solo players. Oh, God, if Kobe comes back and both of them insist on singles, then the Lakers will definitely usher in disaster."

"I can imagine the Staples rim guards resigning en masse. They can't accept the destruction of the rim by two lone dudes at the same time. It will double their workload."

"Speaking weakly, I hope that the boss and Lao Li will join forces and the Lakers will win the championship!"
