Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 33: Then the problem is even more serious

Li Wan’s performance was not over, and before the time came to take advantage of the “nerve knife” badge, he shook Raja Bell with a beautiful feint from outside the three-point line, rushed inside to complete a layup, and increased his single-quarter scoring to 11 points. It also opened the score gap between the two teams to 8 points.

Bryant didn’t let that point difference catch up with the Suns. With a variety of superb singles techniques, he responded to the Suns’ goal after goal.

In fact, it can be seen that the Suns’ flanks dare not wrap Kobe so casually because they are afraid of Li Wan’s three-pointers, and in a one-on-one situation, few people can limit Kobe. At least that person is not in the sun. ”

Su Qun’s words aroused recognition.

Director Zhang couldn’t help but say: “Yes, Kobe is not easy, finally someone can help him attract defense… And you see, this action is really beautiful! You look at this footstep, the opponent really can’t be prevented, Kobe is Kobe! ”

Su Qun was speechless, and once again sighed in his heart: On explaining Kobe, I might as well guide.

The beep that symbolized the end of the game sounded, and the score was frozen at 107-97, and the Lakers defeated the Suns by 10 points.

Kobe, who scored 32 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, shook his fist excitedly and pulled his jersey fiercely, two years, two full years, do you know how I got over these two years!

If the real hard power is not as good, Kobe Bryant will not be so angry, but he lost to the Suns, and the lead was reversed in several games.

This one is also almost …

It’s good to have Li Wan!

Excited, Kobe looked around the audience to look for Li Wan’s figure, and found that he was talking to the beautiful woman just now in front of the bench, and snorted speechlessly. But there was no disgust in his eyes, at least tonight he proved that he had a big heart, not a heart and no lungs.

“Thank you, swear boy, for feeling cool tonight! ”

That beauty didn’t hurry to leave, just now Li Wan’s three-point rain made her fiercely excited, until now, her fair skin is still a little red, tonight she is really too happy.

“It’s what I do best, so I’m not surprised! ”

When Li Wan spoke, the beauty took the initiative to shake hands with him, and the cold white slender fingernails were coated with reddish nail polish, but the middle finger was not applied.

After the palm touched, Li Wan had an extra small note in his hand.

Kupchak on the sidelines kept standing, waiting for Li Wan’s eyes to meet, nodding with satisfaction, and then leaving, and he immediately sent a text message to the old Bass to report the situation.

Old Bass, who received the news, had a reassuring smile on his face, took a mysterious small pill from the table next to him and took it, and galloped.

“Bonnie, you did a great job! ”

“Yay! ”

Bonnie’s hair was disheveled, and with a scream, she saw that the position of the management was getting closer and closer to her.

After the game, the Lakers opened the locker room, allowing media reporters to conduct free interviews with players. As soon as Li Wan finished his bath, the reporters were crowded, and Bynum, who was soaking in an ice bucket, had to give way to a more corner to soak. Two vague scoldings came out of his mouth.

He finished the game today, scoring 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting, 2-of-5 free throws, plus seven rebounds, which were suppressed by 23-plus-11. This performance also left him uninterviewed.

In the final fourth quarter of the game, Li Wan played almost the entire quarter, and was not replaced until 9 minutes and 15 seconds, and the Lakers replaced the more experienced Luke Wharton and held the last two minutes. Combined with more than four minutes in the first half, Li Wan got a total of nearly 16 minutes of playing time, and he ranked first in the substitute rotation.

Phil Jackson sought stability, and the lineup has not changed much in this game, the main players are more than 35 minutes, and Kobe Bryant played 40 minutes.

Li Wan’s data was finally fixed at 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 0 turnovers, shot 13 times, hit 7 of them, shooting 53.8%, 3 of 3 free throws, shooting 100%, 3 three-pointers, shooting 66.6%!

In fact, when he played about 10 minutes, he had 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

In the next six minutes against the Suns’ main player, he found that he was no longer so easy to get rid of, and as a defender above the league’s first line, they have a strong ability to adapt to change. Fortunately, the projection threat is always there, even if he can’t get the ball and can’t get his shot, Laga Bell or Grant Hill defending him don’t dare to let him go. In terms of containment, the help he brought to Kobe Bryant in this game was the most.

Of course, now he is surrounded by the press corps, not because he pinned down Kobe, but because he quickly cut 11 points in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter.

Even for an All-Star, it’s not easy to score 11 points in a single quarter.

What’s more, Li Wan is still a rookie and did this in 4 minutes.

The Suns’ reporter asked a very pointed question: “Lee, as a rookie player, you constantly taunt Barbosa, a veteran of the league for many years, on the court, does this mean that you lack the respect you deserve for the league’s veterans?” ”

The other reporters looked at each other, they knew very well that the Suns reporter had dug a pit, and he maliciously guided Li Wan’s trash talk in the direction of disrespecting veterans. If the answer is not good, Li Wan is likely to cause the collective anger of the old guys of the alliance.

Li Wan’s expression did not change much, and his reaction was very fast: “Trash talk is part of the league, but also the history of the league, countless classic pictures, all related to trash talk, as a player, I think there is nothing wrong with following this culture!” ”

His answer made the Suns reporter who asked the question lose his temper. He talked to Li Wan about respect, and Li Wan talked to him about the culture of the alliance. Perfect to avoid the minefield of the veteran and answer his questions.

Other reporters at the scene were also a little impressed by Li Wan, he was not mature like a rookie.

Barbosa scored 15 points tonight, which looks good, but his face in an interview tonight has always been dark, and at least half of these 15 points were scored when he faced the rest of the Lakers, and when facing Li Wan, he was completely downsided, as the “best sixth man” last season, it is really shameful enough to let a little ghost who came out of the bench beat him like this.

When the media asked him to evaluate Li Wan’s performance, he glanced coldly at the reporter who asked the question: “How is his performance, don’t you know?” ”

At the same time, at the Lakers’ post-game press conference, when the reporter in the audience asked Kobe to evaluate Li Wan again, Kobe thought carefully and said: “He is not an ordinary rookie!” ”

The local reporters in Los Angeles in the audience showed a knowing smile, and at the end of the first preseason game not long ago, they also asked Kobe to evaluate Li Wan, who played brilliantly at that time, and Kobe said at that time, “It’s just a preseason game.” ”

Now, Bryant has changed his tune.

Li Wan’s performance is indeed worth his change, and the two times the Lakers fell behind, it was he who played a counterattack with the bench. Not to mention the explosive scoring power of scoring 11 points in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter.

The ability to bear such a critical moment is indeed not something that an ordinary rookie can have.

After the press conference, Bryant returned to the locker room and saw Li Wan gone, with pity in his eyes, and he thought of saying “good job” to Li Wan in person.

He should have said it at the first time after the game, but at that time he himself was also very excited, patronizing and shaking his fists, and when he reacted to see Li Wan, this kid was picking up girls, and he was also pulled by the reporters on the sidelines. Then take a shower and attend the press conference, and have been busy until now.

On the way home, Bryant thought about it or felt that he should encourage the rookie, went home to find Li Wan’s mobile phone number, and sent a message: Good job, boy!

“Ding! ”

The mobile phone prompt on the table sounded, and the fair-skinned girl picked it up, and it was the excited female spectator sitting on the sidelines. She shouted into the bathroom: “Hani, there’s a text message.” ”

“Do you have a note name?” ”

It was no one else in the bathroom, it was Li Wan.

“I’ll see… No. ”

“Oh, that’s not important, let it go! ”

“Okay… By the way, I just took 6, is it enough? ”

……

1 a.m.

Vanessa, who was sleeping in a daze, woke up and found that her husband was unhappy with the mobile phone, and did not know who he was competing with, and tentatively shouted, with a slightly hoarse voice: “Darling? ”

Kobe saw that he woke up Vanessa, and quickly kissed and comforted: “Oh, sorry, I’m just thinking, are rookies so arrogant now?” The team boss sends him messages and he doesn’t reply? ”

Vanessa instinctively had a headache, and this man was petty and offended, but she didn’t sleep directly, blinking her Kazilan’s big eyes, helping to guess: “Could it be that he didn’t save your phone at all?” ”

Kobe’s face not only did not improve, but became more serious: “OK, then this problem is more serious!” ”
