Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 36

On the first day of November, the Lakers will continue to sit at home, and they will face the challenge of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Before training in the morning, Li Wan found Odom after finishing the interview: "If there is someone, Kobe sent him a text message, but he didn't reply..."

"You haven't returned Kobe's information?"

"Yeah~" Li Wan let out a voice through his teeth, "You react so fast. If it was on the court, I think Phil would be so happy!"

"For his health, I won't." Odom suddenly realized, "No wonder Kobe treated you like that yesterday, you are finished, man, I told you, this dude is very vengeful, very very very vengeful!"

There was a bit of sympathy on Odom's face, but at the same time he couldn't believe it.When Kobe sent him a message, he always replied in seconds, even his mother couldn't let him do this. Of course, Kobe usually wouldn't send him a message.

He couldn't believe that Li Wan dared not reply to Kobe's text message.

"It's all there for a reason, but it doesn't matter anymore. If I have a time machine to go back to that time, I will definitely message him back. This is not what I want to ask, man, I just want to know, how Do it, so that he will not continue to target me!"

The Lakers opened the training ground this morning, and a large number of reporters entered the arena. Kobe has not yet approached Li Wan, but after meeting his eyes several times, Li Wan knew very well that this stingy man did not let this matter just go away. .

He now knows how stingy Kobe is!

"It's not easy, unless you can score 5 points in 11 minutes like in the last game..."

"It's so simple... No, it's okay like this? Is it so easy to coax?"

Li Wan did not expect Odom to propose such a plan.

Odom spread his hands: "He is such a weirdo. As long as he wins, everyone is a good brother. But if you lose, in his eyes, farting is a capital offense."

"Okay... I'm Sean Connery tonight!"

Although Li Wan didn't understand, what he wanted to do now was to let this matter pass quickly.Kobe can be the boss of the Lakers with peace of mind. He continues to develop quietly, and he will not violate the river.Kobe looked at him with snake-like eyes all day long, letting everyone get hurt.

There was a "big deal boom" in the league this summer, and many star players in the league changed their teams, including NBA's top power forward "Wolf King" Garnett.

He left the Timberwolves, where he played for 12 years, and switched to Boston. Together with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, he formed the "Big Three" in Boston.

The Celtics have become the league's top power, and the team closest to the championship this season.Minnesota began to rebuild with a large number of chips from Kevin Garnett's "1 for 7" trade, waiting for the birth of the next "Wolf King".

The media in Minnesota is still very optimistic. The Celtics sent good chips, especially Al Jefferson. Experts are unanimously optimistic that he will become a first-line NBA insider.

Al Jefferson did not disappoint them either. In the first game of the Timberwolves, he handed over the data of "20 plus 10".This made the Timberwolves fans look forward to the game against the Lakers. They wanted to see what kind of performance Al Jefferson would perform when he met Bynum, known as the "Little Shark". .

The result is being educated...

In the last game, because he has been in the rhythm of offensive and defensive transition, he only scored 11 points, and his performance was a bit aggrieved. As soon as this game came up, he showed his skillful low-post singles.

Al Jefferson's bottom plate is very stable, but Bynum used his footsteps to shake out the space and scored the ball twice.

The Lakers fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers. They have been looking forward to this scene since Buss Jr. selected Bynum in 05.From 05 to 07, for three full years, they finally waited for Bynum's growth.

Bynum also had some complacency on his face, looking to the sidelines, looking for ESPN reporters.He wanted to ask these guys, do they still dare to underestimate him?

Coupled with Kobe's performance, at 9 minutes and 15 seconds into the first quarter, the Lakers had already easily led by 7 points. Phil Jackson waved his hand and let Li Wan and the others play.

Field starters left only Fisher.

Odom clapped his hands when he left the court, walked up to Li Wan, and whispered something to him: "If you open the point difference to more than double digits before Kobe goes off the court, I think that will be over."

Li Wan nodded and made an "OK" gesture to him.

Kobe noticed Odom whispering to Li Wan, slowed down and waited for him to come up, with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "When did you have such a good relationship with him?"

"Hey, Kobe, I'm his big brother, just to take care of him."

"Really?" Kobe thought of something and asked again, "If you send him a message, will he reply?"

"Come back, he..."

"Okay, got it!"

"Uh……"

Odom looked at Kobe's more gloomy back, looked back at Li Wan in embarrassment, and took two quick steps to sit next to Kobe.

"Actually, I don't charge often..."

He wanted to explain a few words, but Kobe turned his head and looked at him without moving his eyes, letting him automatically mute.

Li Wan on the field didn't know that Odom was making trouble for him,

North Carolina native Rashard McCants moves forward with the ball.

When Li Wan saw him, he thought of an interesting point mentioned by the Lakers scout.

Because of his personality, McCants has been full of crimes, including conflicts with former North Carolina coach Duch and current North Carolina coach Williams, fights in the U20 team of the United States, and cutting throats in front of fans.Considered a locker room bomb by scouts, he was not selected by the Timberwolves until the 14th pick in the first round.But since he entered the league, there hasn't been any negative news about him.

Along with his personality change, there is also his style of play.

Before the draft, his template was: the poor version of Allen Iverson, with a very sharp breakthrough.But in the two years since he entered the league, he has become more and more fond of shooting from the outside.The template has also changed from "poor man's version of Allen Iverson" to "poor man's version of Ray Allen".

Li Wan specially studied his career after entering the league, and also found teachers from the university's psychological club to help analyze his changes, and finally came to the conclusion: McCants should not be tough anymore.

Injuries made him afraid of confrontation, and also made him focus more on long-range shooting when choosing offense.

But this conclusion was researched by Li Wan himself. When facing him for the first ball, Li Wan didn't dare to move too far, and kept about an arm's length away. Forcing Li Wan to retreat, this made Li Wan move forward more boldly.McCants had no room to shoot, gritted his teeth and walked in. Seeing Turiaf defending, he made a high position move and shot.

Miss!

Turiaf retreated at the same time as he was shooting. Seeing that the ball bounced off the rebound was far outside and he couldn't reach it. He happened to see Li Wan rushing over, so he blocked Walker who wanted to go around to grab the rebound. .

Li Wan successfully rushed to the board, and found Jordan Farmer's position to pass the ball falsely. Randy Foye, who had come to block him, snatched the position ahead of time, and the space in front of Li Wan's quick descent suddenly became wider.

Vujacic ran fast on the flanks. Li Wan, who was still on the center line, made a long-distance pass. He caught the ball as comfortably as possible and made a layup.

"Vujacic made a fast break and the assist was Li Wan!"

"wow!"

"This pass reminds me of another famous surgeon, John Hunter. The Chinese rookie's pass is as precise and sharp as the scalpel in his hand!"

"This is great!"

Staples' on-site commentator Chick Hearn was also ignited by Li Wan's pass. He saw such a sharp pass again. He wanted to say that this ball is like "Magic" Johnson, but think about it This is the kid's second regular season game, so don't bother him.Temporarily changed the words that came to his lips, and described it as "scalpel" again, just changed the doctor.

The counterattack was successful, facing McCants again, Li Wan did not try this time, and kept reaching out to interfere with his dribbling. McCants did not dare to go any further and gave the ball to Randy Foye.

Randy Foye, who is of first-class physical fitness, did not rush to attack, but called Jefferson's pick-and-roll and successfully got rid of Fisher.Throw in the face frame and score the ball.

Timberwolves head coach Randy Whitman applauded him for the ball. When he accepted the Timberwolves, Randy Foye happened to be traded. At that time, his self-confidence was damaged because of the abandonment of the Trail Blazers. He didn't slow down for a year, and entered the second grade, he seemed to have regained the boldness he had in college.

In terms of talent, Randy Foye is definitely above the league level, and he has the qualifications to grow into an All-Star.

Whitman likes him more than McCants, whose style of play is becoming more and more monotonous.

"We have one more!"

Fisher opened his mouth to stabilize his teammates on the court, which is the effect of Phil Jackson keeping him on the court.

Li Wan can feel that the entire defensive formation of the Timberwolves is very targeted at his running without the ball.Kobe also noticed it, and blew a sigh of disdain: "Is there any need to target this arrogant guy? Timberwolves really suck! Worse than the avocado food that GIGI eats!"

Odom pretended not to hear, he was afraid that if he said something wrong again.

"Dangdang!"

Turiaf missed a shot at the basket, the ball was held by Jefferson, the Timberwolves counterattacked, Randy Foye attracted the defense and passed the ball to McCants.

perfect!

The timing of Randy Foye's pass made Whitman tempted to high-five.

Very good!
But McCants, who had been rushing fiercely, noticed that Li Wanneng followed him for a layup in time, and his momentum weakened immediately, and he counterattacked and missed the blue.

Li Wan took the ball and quickly counterattacked.Completed the connection with Turiaf, this time he did not let the chance to score under the basket slip away and scored smoothly.

　Wake up early and count the votes, brothers! ! ! !
