Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 24 Trail Blazers
"It's here, it's here, let's go, let's go!"

Odom, who was dressed in black and trendy clothes, threw away the poker cards in his hand and hurriedly got off the plane.

The flight process is very boring, so players will find some entertainment on the plane.Texas Hold'em is one of the most common entertainment.

Li Wan is not good at playing Texas Hold'em.

Today, because of the small number of people, Odom yelled several times, and he could only go to the table.

Seeing everyone throwing cards in such a hurry, he didn't say anything. He gathered up the wad of dollars in front of him, stuffed them into his bag, and got off the plane together.

"Dude, didn't you say you weren't good at poker?"

Odom couldn't hold back in the end, and asked Li Wan on the bus.

Li Wan nodded: "I'm really not good at it. In my field of expertise, there is no Texas hold'em..."

Bynum said angrily beside him: "You are like Kohler Kardashian saying that her butt is different!"

This made everyone in the car laugh.

Except for Kobe who sat at the back.

And Odom looked at Bynum, raised his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Andrew, that's sexy!" He forbade others to say that about his "goddess".

Hey, it really is a bad fate!
Li Wan sighed inwardly when he saw Odom, who had not yet become a boyfriend and girlfriend with Kohler, the "protective boy".

Bynum, who lost money, was still in a bad mood. Li Wan looked out the window and automatically ignored it. He could understand that Bynum was unhappy seeing him, because Bynum lost the most among the few people on the plane. He lost about 5. In dollars, Odom was less than him, and he also lost more than 3000.

Li Wan was the only one who won, and he earned almost $1 in just a few hours on the plane.

It's not how good he is, but the "charity gambling kings" of the Lakers are too good. It is normal for one person to kill three families in a "dimension reduction strike".

That's why he usually doesn't play with them.

If you win more, it is inevitable that you can't handle the relationship between teammates well.

Today he believed it would not be, because it was only after Odom shouted N times that he reluctantly agreed.Winning 1 is not too much.In fact, it doesn't matter even if Bynum and Odom blame him, he is not an American, and he has no habit of drawing a gun for this.

As soon as he stayed in the hotel, Li Wan received a call from Greg Oden. Before he left, he took out a wad of winnings from his bag, counted about 5 dollars, and handed it to his colleague. Carl who lives in the hotel: "Later, you should go to the nightclub with Lamar and the others, right? Give him this, and tell them to drink."

Carl took it and said he knew.

"Bah!"

When Li Wan walked out of the hotel, a Land Rover parked not far from the hotel entrance honked its horn.The door of the rear car opened, and a man like a hill showed his head.With an excited smile on his face, a thick layer of forehead lines formed from his smile.

Again, black people generally don't look old, except for Greg Oden.

"How? Recovered..."

When Li Wan was speaking, he looked at his leg. The right knee was still tied with a thick protective gear.

The draft ended in June, and in July Greg Oden followed Li Wan's suggestion and went to Phoenix to check with the "miracle doctor" team. Sure enough, the problem was found...

During this examination, the doctor found broken bones stuck in the cartilage in his knee, which could not bear the heavy training at all. If it was not removed, it would be stuck and cause wear and tear, and it was very likely that he would be reimbursed for his rookie season.

"It's okay, thanks to you, let me go to review, the situation is not so bad now, maybe I will be able to play before December."

There was a bit of joy on Auden's young and mature face.

"It's just that the doctor also said that my situation is more complicated. I didn't pay attention to my injuries in high school, leaving hidden dangers. Now I have only eliminated some potential factors, and I still need to continue to observe."

When he said this, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Looking at Oden's older face due to worry, Li Wan said with relief: "Take your time, Mourning's kidney failure can return to the court, you just have some hidden diseases left by the original injuries, and they will be cured. But I advise you to keep in touch with the doctor who performed the operation for you this time."

Li Wan knows the Trail Blazers very well. This team can be called the "grave center".In addition to the unspeakable Feng Shui theory, it also has a lot to do with the "veterinary team" of this team.As far as Auden's situation is concerned, it is necessary to keep in touch with the "miracle doctor team".For the champion with an annual salary of 406 million, this is not an unaffordable fee.

Auden felt that Li Wan was right.

"By the way, did Mike call you?"

Li Wan and Oden boarded the car, sat in the back, greeted the driver, and drove the two honorary students of Oklahoma University to the restaurant that Auden had reserved. On the way, they chatted with Mike Conley.

"Fuck, chatted until 3 a.m., complained more than Jada Pinkett-Smith said Will Smith wasn't home. When did he say that?"

Li Wan has not answered Mike Conley's calls since then.

He can also understand that Mike Conley became famous in high school. From the moment he entered Oklahoma State University, he became the core of both offense and defense. Later, he became the No. [-] pick in the first round of the draft. I haven't encountered any setbacks. Now that I have entered the league and encountered some problems, it is normal to be a little frustrated.

But understanding is understanding, not answering the phone is not answering the phone.

The only thing that gave Li Wan a headache was that the next time he saw Mike Conley, he was afraid that the kid would chatter even more.Now he hopes that Mike Conley can secure the starting position of the Grizzlies early.That way he won't be so irritable.

Of course, he knew, and soon Mike Conley would have no such worries.

It's nice to have dinner with old teammates again, especially if it cost a few hundred dollars.As Cook said that night while looking at the moon, see you next time, and they will all be millionaires.

The effect of the treat was quite obvious. When we met again the next morning, Bynum was no longer eccentric, although he was not very enthusiastic.

Li Wan didn't care if he could become good friends with Bynum in private, as long as he could cooperate on the field, that was enough.After getting along, he could feel that Bynum was like a spoiled child, and it was unnecessary to pay too much to be friends with such a person.

This summer, the Trail Blazers have undergone major changes.

Brandon Roy and Aldridge, who were selected in 06, played well. Roy even won the "Best Rookie" in 06. In the history of the Trail Blazers, the last best rookie was 71~ Sydney Wicks in the 72 season, 34 years ago, gave the management the confidence to send away the only statistical All-Star player in the team, Zach "Lazy Man", and the era of the "Blazers Prison Team" is completely over.

What is left is endless sighs. Regardless of the criminal record, that Trail Blazers team is really full of talent.

When all the members of the Lakers entered the field, about 00 to [-] fans booed together.For the Portlanders in the "Rose City", the Lakers are their sworn enemies.If it weren't for them, the Trail Blazers would have won the cup for the second time in [-].

It's just that they regard the Lakers as their mortal enemies, but the Lakers have never seen them. At the Staples Arena, the only ones who can make the Los Angeles people boo like waves are the Boston Celtics.

Li Wan felt the boos from the audience. This was his first away game in the NBA. It may be because of the small number of spectators. He felt that it was not much different from the NCAA regular season away game.

In this game, Kobe and Brandon Roy's "Double Snake" dispute is the biggest attraction. The more mature Roy can already face Kobe in a decent offensive and defensive confrontation.

To say that the management of the Supersonics or the Thunder has a good vision at this time, 06 is a real "draft year" in the traditional sense, but their two choices are very good.

It is worth mentioning that both Aldridge and Roy were acquired through trades, which is undoubtedly more difficult, not to mention that Roy still has knee risks.

During this period, the game, trade-offs, and changes in psychological activities may ruin the deal. Just like Thomas, he traded aggressively and wanted to choose Li Wan, but at the last moment, he finally chose to give up. Wilson Chandler, who seemed more secure at the time, was played.

Li Wan also felt what a high-level defense in the league looks like in this game.When facing him, Li Wan couldn't be as calm as in the previous round.

In addition, on the offensive end, Li Wan felt an unprecedented level of difficulty when he played against the new core of the Trail Blazers who was about to become an All-Star player.

Starting-level defensive ability is somewhat insufficient in front of such a comprehensive player.

In the end, his single-defense effect was not very good. Roy made 9 of 5 shots when facing him.

After Li Wan cooperated with his teammates, he gradually gave some responses on the defensive end.But on the whole, Roy was still suppressed when he met Roy alone on the defensive end. He did not do as well in blocking the flanks as he did in the previous game, and he was excellent against Chandler.

Phil Jackson felt a little regretful, but considering that Kobe's defensive effect on Roy was not very good just now, he didn't think it was a big problem.

And even though he failed to limit Roy on the defensive end, Li Wan still felt good on the offensive end. He broke out in the third quarter and single-handedly scored 7 points, helping the Lakers to complete the lead in the score during that time.

This kind of scoring explosiveness is what the Lakers urgently need on the bench.

15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover. This is the last statistic of Li Wan in this game. He got such a statistic in 25 minutes and 18 seconds. Although he didn't have a brilliant performance in the previous game, his efficiency is not low.

107 to 98, the Lakers left Portland with a victory.

The current preseason record is 2 wins and 0 losses.

　Wake up early two more, brothers come to count votes.
