Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 51 Bet
In the 06-07 season, the Nuggets traded Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers, and Denver formed the "Golden Two Guns". Coupled with George Karl's coaching, this team has become the firepower of the league. One of the most ferocious teams, with an average of 105.3 points per game, which ranked third in the league last season. There are only two teams that focus on "running and bombing", the Suns and the Warriors. They are taller.

Compared with these two teams, "everyone has soup to drink", the firepower of the Nuggets is more concentrated. Carmelo Anthony averaged 28.9 points per game, and Allen Iverson averaged 24.8 points per game. The two of them contributed half of the team's points.

For the Lakers, how to limit the firepower of these two people is the key to whether they can contain the Nuggets and prevent them from running.

Of course, for the Nuggets coaching team, how to limit Kobe is also a test.

Li Wan was sitting on the bench, watching the Nuggets players step onto the court one by one in the dark. He saw JR-Smith first, still with the same expressionless face during the interview, and high-fived his teammates angrily and walked to the center of the court.

He is very popular in Denver, and everyone likes a player who can score all kinds of unreasonable goals when he feels like that.

Just look at the Los Angeles fans, how much they love Li Wan.

However, Li Wan's attention was quickly attracted by Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony.It can be seen that Denver has the "answer", which has a great impact on Carmelo Anthony. The most intuitive one is the change in appearance. Like Allen Iverson, he left the iconic "land" Ditch", it looks like the "fat brother" of Allen Iverson's family who is two sizes older.

Denver fans like the change in Anthony's appearance very much. "Big Shark" once said that if Allen Iverson had a height of 1 meters, no one else in this league would matter.Now Carmelo Anthony is looking at a living "replica of Allen Iverson", and after Iverson arrived, Anthony's scoring average last season also broke through his career high, reaching 98 points, which is good The change shows that Carmelo Anthony is becoming an increasingly impeccable top scorer.

It would be even better if he didn't learn from Allen Iverson to wipe his ass off the sidelines and get involved in trouble.

Li Wan looked at them, and suddenly thought of a question, will teammates be "assimilated" with each other?Things like hobbies, and Carmelo Anthony, who imitated Allen Iverson and left "digging ditches".

Odom didn't think about it for a second: "It's a matter of course!"

He first touched his head, then pointed to Fisher, and finally pouted to signal Kobe who was two places away.

"Dude, we all have the same hairstyle!"

"Including Andrew, haven't you noticed that he shaves his scalp more and more frequently recently?"

"Sooner or later, you will be just like us..."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Wanmaosheng's hair.Li Wan pushed it away with his hands, and was a little worried about the fate of his hairstyle. He didn't want to play basketball with a bald head. At the same time, he also understood why the hair of the Argentine on the Spurs was getting shorter and shorter.Isn't Tim Duncan just like Bynum, but with a faint layer of black scalp!
Tim Duncan's hands are poisonous, and so is the entire Spurs!
Tim Duncan, who didn't watch the retirement, kept his dreadlocks?
Because of Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, the Nuggets became the most loyal team in the league, and soon Li Wan also felt the brotherhood between them.

Three people with three pairs of eyes looked at him together, provocatively.

Kobe noticed this scene, stood next to Li Wan with the ball in his hand, and supported Li Wan with his actions, and Odom also walked over.

The eyes of the two sides filled the stadium with the smell of gunpowder.

The Nuggets fans at the scene seemed to feel it, and they all booed the Lakers hugely.

"This game is interesting!"

TNT, as the official partner of the NBA event broadcast, broadcast the game, and also sent Kenny Smith, the "golden partner" of TNT's basketball section, and "Big Mouth" Barkley to explain the game.

Kenny Smith had just sat down firmly in the studio, and when he saw the real-time images on the live screen, he suddenly found it interesting.

He started to talk to Barkley, and after teasing Kobe and the "Golden Two Guns", he said about Li Wan: "Who do you think will perform better in this game, the rookie Li or Jr, and who can fulfill their performance in this game?" As I said before the game, I am the more comprehensive player."

"As you know, since 02, I have never said that a certain Chinese player can't do this. It was like this two days ago, and it is still like this now. I am more optimistic about Li, because he is Yao's compatriot."

Two days ago, TNT broadcast the Bucks game live. Yi Jianlian was in a sluggish state. He only had 31.9 points and 6 rebounds in 5 minutes.Switching to other high-ranked rookies would inevitably be ridiculed by him, but Yi Jianlian did not.

Barkley believes that Yi Jianlian just needs to adapt, just like Yao Ming did back then.

"So, you are more optimistic about Li Wan's performance in this match?"

Kenny Smith turned his head and glanced at Barkley who was also looking at him. Seeing him nodding, he said again: "I think Jr. Smith's performance will be better, do you want to bet on something?"

The audience watching the TNT channel became excited when they heard this.They like to watch TNT channels, and a large part of them come here because of the "golden partner" bet.

"What's the bet?" Barkley's face was a little uncertain, but for the sake of the program effect, he still had to answer.

"Well, if the person who performed better in this game is JR Smith, you can run naked outside the Pepsi Center in Denver, shouting, JR Smith is the league's most insane knife!"

"Why are you running naked?" Barkley's face was absurd.

"Because of nerves!"

"Then what if Li Wan performed better?"

Barkley read four words from Kenny Smith's eyes: He wants to cheat me!But he still gritted his teeth and continued to cooperate.

"Then it's my turn to kiss the donkey's ass, how about it, is it fair?"

Kenny Smith spoke very frankly, with confidence in his eyes, and Barkley cursed in his heart: Bitch!

Can you not be confident?If Barkley bet on jr-Smith, he would be confident too!
Just kidding, one is a veteran who has played in the league for 3 years and scored 30 points many times, and the other is a rookie who has only played five or six games in the league and his performance is very unstable.

No matter how you look at it, it is more likely that jr Smith will perform well!
Not to mention, Li Wan had to adapt to "altitude sickness".

But the effect of TNT's programs is often supported by the gags of the two of them, as well as some heavy-duty but very entertaining bets.

"Okay, Kenny, you will definitely lose!" Buckley agreed, and raised the bet again, "But you have to kiss the donkey's ass naked!"

Kenny Smith was the first to speak and finished the bet. It would be a disappointment if he didn't agree, but for the one in [-] possibility, Barkley increased the punishment for Kenny Smith.

In case Li Wan performed better than jr, it would be a shame to just let Kenny Smith kiss a donkey's ass.

"Heh~ I agree!"

Kenny Smith sneered, not taking it seriously at all.In his opinion, jr Smith has won!
