Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 18 Preseason Arrival

Phil Jackson voted for him, and Li Wan reciprocated with Li: "Coach Phil takes good care of me, not only Coach Phil, but also Coach Phil Handy, they all take care of me Plus."

When Kupchak saw these two interviews, his hand holding the coffee cup kept shaking with anger.

Wow, this old thing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

In a simple sentence, the reason for not choosing Li Wan at that time was attributed to others.At the same time, he also labeled himself a "teacher".

It wasn't that he didn't choose Li Wan at the beginning, but that when other people coached, they didn't tap Li Wan's greater potential.

Now that he met him, the real shining point in Li Wan was also stimulated!

The more critical point is that Li Wan's attitude confirmed Phil Jackson's words.

A potential crisis let him resolve it quietly.

When Old Bus learned about this from Kupchak, he also nodded helplessly.

It is indeed not an easy task to deal with the person who caught his daughter.

The main reason is that the old boy reacted too quickly. He just tentatively stated that "the newcomer from Huaxia will trade him for his worth", and the old boy immediately guessed that this was digging a hole for him.

However, Phil Jackson said with such confidence that "Li Wan will be the biggest surprise among the rookies", Bass is looking forward to the upcoming preseason, what kind of performance Li Wan can play...

When the ESPN reporter interviewed Li Wan, he also mentioned that the first game of the preseason is coming soon, and whether he has some thoughts about this game in his heart.

Li Wan said bluntly: "No matter who it is, in such a situation, they will hope that they will perform well!"

In the NBA07~08 season, the first game of the Lakers preseason game, sitting at home, was going to face none other than the New York Knicks.

When Thomas saw this scene, he felt that he had been targeted by the NBA commissioner.

Now the outside world has spread that in the 07 draft, Thomas originally wanted to choose Li Wan, but at the last moment he chose Wilson Chandler instead.
The New York media was paying attention to this game, and they were looking for an excuse to let Thomas go.

The Huaxia rookie performed well in the summer league. It is said that he beat Wilson Chandler who was playing against him very well.

It's just that it's summer league, and no one will talk about summer league.

Although the preseason is not an important game, it is similar to the warm-up match, but in terms of intensity, it is not much different from the early stage of the regular season.

If Li Wan blows him up again, then the public opinion war can start first.

Li Wan sat on the bench, turned on his system and took another look.

“视野：85（90）；控球：65（82）；传球：65（85）；中投：61（82）；三分：60（85）；突破：57（85）；上篮：57（80）；背身：19（50）；扣篮：58（84）；原地扣篮：31（45）；进攻卡位:50（60）；空切：71（84）；无球跑位：71（83）；”

On the offensive attribute page, he has made considerable progress.As his ability to handle the ball rises, his passing ability has also reached the league level. With his excellent vision, sometimes he will pass some passes that make Phil Handy sigh.

It can be said that it has basically reached the level of the league's substitute rotation.

It may sound like it's only at the level of the middle reaches of the league, but he has most of his abilities, not one or two of them. It's not an exaggeration to say that his comprehensive ability on the offensive end is "half-step starter".

He is quite satisfied with such growth in one summer.

"Li, get ready to play!"

Phil Handy's voice came suddenly, telling him to get ready to play.Without hesitation, he took off his training uniform and walked towards the player waiting area.

Maurice Evans watched Li Wan pass by him with disdain and hostility in his eyes.

This Huaxia man really threatened his playing time!

"Look, the newcomer is here!"

"So fast? Let him go after the first substitution? Didn't you say that Phil didn't agree to choose him, and it was all Kupchak's idea?"

"Kupchak is a beater, it should be old Bass's idea."

"Dude, when did you hear this news? It's already out of date! At yesterday's media open day, Phil Jackson seldom praised people, saying that Li Wan was the biggest surprise."

"Normal. There is a saying in our hometown that men are all eels, let alone old men!"

Li Wan was standing in the waiting area, ready to go on stage, and the voices of discussions from the sidelines reached his ears one after another, but he ignored it, handsome men are bound to be discussed, this is something in the Ganges.

The Los Angeles media made a lot of hype about his summer league data before, and with the words of Phil Jackson, Lakers fans are now very curious about him.

Thomas, who was standing on the opposite side of the bench, saw Li Wan and waved to the bench. Chandler took off his training clothes and walked quickly in front of him.

With a trademark smile, Thomas asked, "Are you doing well tonight?"

Chandler nodded confidently: "Of course, don't worry, coach, I will never disappoint your expectations!"

After the summer league, Chandler trained himself hard, and now he is stronger than before, and he feels... this time he will definitely do it!
Satisfied with his confident look, Thomas patted his ass and let him play.

Chandler's strength, during the Knicks training camp, he stood on the sidelines to see clearly.It is not a problem to average 10 points and 3 rebounds per game in the new season. In this rookie class, he definitely has the upper-level strength.

No matter how Li Wan transforms, it is impossible to transform into one of the top few newcomers this year, right?
This is unscientific!

"beep!"

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the Lakers insider "Little Shark" Bynum hit the former "Little Shark" Eddie Curry with his back and made the latter a defensive foul and made two free throws.

An easy free throw.

Li Wan took his seat on the field, and Turiaf on the field took the initiative to say hello to him, and he raised his hand in response.In the Lakers, Turiaf is one of the few people that Li Wan feels the least airs.

Odom also took good care of him, but it felt like "I am the big brother, you are the younger brothers".

On the contrary, Turiaf may be a second-round pick. He feels empathy for these rookies with poor prospects, and treats them very kindly.

It's a pity that the French have developed armpit sweat glands, so he can only "avoid and stay away".Li Wan felt a little guilty about this, and wanted to hug Turiaf more often when he had a bad cold, as an apology.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he turned his head and saw that Wilson Chandler was staring at him.

"I didn't expect to meet so soon, but why didn't your mouth twitch this time?"

While speaking, Li Wan glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Thomas who was on the bench next to him.

"Smiling Assassin" was also looking at him, their eyes met, and Thomas could clearly feel Li Wan's fighting spirit.

Listening to his words, Chandler frowned, his whole body was tense, and he didn't respond. He wanted to respond to Li Wan's trash talk with practical actions!
