Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 22 Post-match interview
The decline in physical fitness has affected his state. Li Wan missed a good shot with a good opportunity. In addition, he felt that the Knicks had improved their defensive strength. Li Wan's style of play was quite a team. With scoring performance.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 110 to 98 and won the first game of the preseason.

李万全场打了28分15秒，15投10中，三分球6投3中，罚球2罚2中，全场砍下了25分4篮板4助攻1抢断。

He made all 6 shots in the first half and scored 14 points!
The shooting percentage is as high as 66.6%!

There were 3 mistakes.

But both times happened in the fourth quarter, when Li Wan's physical fitness was not enough.

This is understandable.

Anyway, Phil Jackson understood very well and was very satisfied with his performance in this game. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have shown your abilities. Good job."

A sentence was added later: "But this is only the first game of the preseason. You still have a lot of tests to go through. If you continue to maintain this momentum, you will become an even better player."

Li Wan nodded.

Phil Jackson had a point.

He also knows that this is just a preseason game, and everyone has not shown their real skills, and he was in a good state at the beginning of the night. After he felt the "Nervous Knife" badge, he felt so hot that he was about to explode up.

It can only be said that this is a smooth game, and it is impossible to maintain such a height in the future.

He is mentally prepared for this.

Fortunately, he was in this state in a game where he needed to prove himself, which made him very happy.

His gaze swept to the other side, meeting Thomas's gaze.

The "Smiling Assassin" had been looking at Li Wan just now, and when he saw Phil Jackson talking to him with a smile, his heart felt sour.

Originally, at this time, he should be smiling and encouraging Li Wan...

But who made him cowardly in the draft!
He looked at Li Wan's stats with keen eyes, and then looked at Chandler's stats, 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, his shooting percentage was over 30%, and he made 5 turnovers.

The whole performance was completely crushed by Li Wan, not to mention how shabby it was.

He felt that there was a breath in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down.When Michael Jordan called the "Dream Team and he didn't have me", he never felt so bad.

But he still had to comfort a dejected Chandler.

This game is just the beginning of his career, and the NBA has never been a place for discussion. Even now it seems that Chandler is much less talented than Li Wan, not to mention the speed of improvement.

But his own ability is still good, and he can survive in this alliance.

Walking to his side, holding his arm tightly, bringing him closer to him, cheering up: "It's okay, Wilson, men are like this, it's like this the first time , don’t think it’s you who can’t do it, it will be fine in the future!”

Phil Jackson was already being interviewed at this time, and he said with an old-fashioned look on his face: "I have already said that everyone will see a different him. Among the rookies in the new season, the biggest surprise will be him! This is just the beginning That's all!"

With his calm expression, the reporter next to him couldn't help asking: "Did you expect him to perform like this tonight?"

I can predict a ghost!

Phil Jackson expects and expects Li Wan to perform well and become a better player.

But the "good performance" he thought of was different from what Li Wan showed tonight.

But when the words came to the mouth, it became: "We are very aware of his strength and the extent he can achieve. He is the first person to be replaced by the Lakers tonight when they make a substitution. His abilities are clear, after all...he grew up step by step as we watched him!"

This remark caused an uproar among reporters at the scene.

At this time, they also realized that the reason why they were so surprised was because the original Li Wan couldn't perform like this no matter how good he was.

He can make progress. Apart from his own efforts, there must be someone helping him. This person... "Zen Master" is indeed a "Zen Master". The ability to train newcomers is really too strong!

Phil Jackson was very satisfied with the effect, and ended the interview with a point.

Kobe was also surrounded by reporters. When asked about the performance of the rookie, he curled his lips in disdain: "This is just a preseason game. If you can win the championship if you perform well in just one preseason game, then I will Now you can build a house with rings..."

While talking, he was still complaining in his heart: "Look at these guys who have never seen the world!"

But after the staff dispersed the interviewing reporters, he sneaked up to the familiar trainer and looked around with a guilty look on his face, as if he was afraid of being found out: "Do you have Li's contact information? Give me a look. "

The trainer was very surprised, but quickly took out his mobile phone and gave him Li Wan's phone number. Kobe looked at it and wrote it down, and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he asked the trainer to keep it secret and not let others know about it. .

Li Wan also learned of Kobe's evaluation from the group of reporters surrounding him, and smiled nonchalantly. The preseason game is really nothing in front of a star of that level.

But today's performance really made him regain the enthusiasm he had when he hit the lore in the NCAA Finals.

Look at the crowd around here!

The reporters of the Lakers looked at his humble appearance and were happy in their eyes and hearts.

Who doesn't like a rookie who is capable and won't cause trouble?
After answering the question, he returned to the locker room, took out his mobile phone and saw the message sent to him by Greg Oden.

— Dude, you went berserk again, it was a great night, see you tomorrow!

After a short reply of "OK", he packed up and planned to go back. Odom wanted to call him to go to the nightclub, but this time he refused. Tomorrow, all the Lakers will fly to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers. It is the first away game of his NBA career, he wants to rest early,

Odom didn't force himself. He could tell that Li Wan, who played third in the team tonight, was exhausted. The young man's physical fitness is indeed a problem when he first entered the league, and he needs a good rest.

When Li Wan arrived home, Kobe had already arrived.

Vanessa, who had curly black hair, walked up to her with a smile in her black silk pajamas.Kobe changed his clothes and wanted to go back to the room to take a look at his second daughter GIGI, who was born last year. Vanessa rolled her eyes beautifully, and "attacked" with a small pink fist. The two came to the door of the room fighting , stopped consciously, and entered the room in a low voice.

Seeing that GIGI was already sound asleep, Kobe touched the little guy's pink face with his hand, poked a small hole, couldn't help smiling, and didn't bother anymore.

Back in the living room, watching the basketball news on TV, he suddenly thought of Li Wan who played brilliantly tonight.

Do you want to send a message to encourage Li Wan, a newcomer?
He performed really well today...

But think about it, this is only the first preseason game, let's watch it again!
Kobe dismissed the idea again.

　Wake up two more early, ask for recommendation and support! ! !
