Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 6 I am standing in front of you

To be gifted is to be able to do whatever you want.

With the potential of ball control reaching 82 points, the potential of mid-range shooting reaching 82 points, and the potential of three-pointers reaching 85 points, Li Wan now understands why Olajuwon can become a player after only two years of basketball practice. The No. [-] pick in the NBA.

Because for talented people, two years is really long enough.

Take the current Li Wan as an example. In just 14 days, his ball-handling ability has risen from 35 points to 54 points, which has reached the level of an NBA "water cooler" administrator.

The mid-range shot has increased from 34 points to 53 points, and the three-pointer has increased from 30 points to 49 points.

No wonder it is said that hard work is worthless in front of talent.

It was also 8 hours of training, compared to the speed of the tortoise that only increased by a few points after working hard for several months, Li Wan's progress in the past half month can be described as rapid progress.

Of course, this may also have something to do with him focusing his energy on these two aspects, or... it may be that he is too bad.

During the few days of his training, the NBA free market opened, and many big transactions took place, including what Li Wan knew, Kobe submitted a transfer application to the management, and even went to Chicago for a tour.

This caused a major earthquake in the entire league. In recent days, the headlines have been almost all about him.

The optimistic Los Angeles media believes that the Lakers will complete a deal that satisfies Kobe this summer, and he does not really want to leave Los Angeles; the pessimistic media is already analyzing what kind of bargaining chip Kobe will get from the Bulls , is not a loss.

An insider who did not want to be named said: "Lakers, you have today!"

On July 7, Li Wan officially arrived in Las Vegas to join the Lakers Summer League team.

"You're here at last, man, and for a while I was worried you wouldn't make it."

Phil Handy had a special meeting with Li Wan, and he didn't make any demands on Li Wan, but let Li Wan feel comfortable.

"You can actively ask for the ball. I have already told everyone that anyone who doesn't pass you the ball will be replaced by me immediately."

Unlimited fire rights...?

Li Wanzhen did not expect that one day, he would also be able to enjoy the unlimited right to fire.

But it's normal to think about it carefully. The original intention of the summer league is to let the rookies adapt to the faster rhythm and the more intense competition intensity in advance.The 19th pick in the first round may not be a big deal in the NBA, but in the summer league it is a baby golden bump, the team's key training goal.

Just a little bit.

He doesn't seem to need to actively ask for the ball to have a chance to make a shot.

He didn't intend for the ball to leave his hands...

With his current level of ball handling, it is enough to deal with summer league.

That night, Li Wan also saw the Lakers Summer League schedule.

The pace of the Las Vegas Summer League is very fast, with 7 regular season games played in 4 days and all games including the playoffs played in 10 days.The Lakers' opponent in Game [-]... by coincidence, the New York Knicks!

Unexpectedly, he met Wilson Chandler so soon.

On the night of the draft, this guy provoked him twice intentionally or unintentionally. Li Wan still remembers the smug look in his eyes at that time.He is not a generous person on the court.What "a dog bites you, you can't bite it" is fallacious for him.

Shit, it bit me, it's true I wouldn't bite it, but can't I kick it yet?
However, there was someone else who really inspired his fighting spirit.

"Lee, I can see some spirituality in you that other people don't have. That's really great. There is no doubt that we will draft you, and even trade up the draft pick. You can already look at houses in New York , you will be the rookie of the New York Knicks this summer..."

Little Thomas let Li Wan know that a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost, no matter how much he promises, he can't be trusted.No matter what the reason is, let him give up choosing himself, there is only one thing Li Wan wants to do, and let this dog day regret it!
The next day came quickly.

The arena for the summer league is very small. It is rented by a nearby high school. There are only two to three thousand seats in the auditorium. However, this number of seats is not enough for the audience.

Several online media came to the sidelines.

In the past, this was not possible, but now with the development of the Internet, the number of media has increased dramatically, which has given the Summer League some exposure.

When Chandler saw Li Wan, he became the "Dragon King with Crooked Mouth" again, looking at him provocatively.

Li Wan felt that his appointment was a bit seriously ill, so he stretched out his hand to make an international gesture, which successfully angered this guy.

Dare to be arrogant even if you are defeated?
Chandler decided to give Li Wan some flair.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers got the ball. Li Wan asked for the ball in the backcourt.

"Oh?"

Phil Handy was a little surprised.

The scout report clearly stated that Li Wan has no ability to hold the ball, otherwise, he would not have specifically instructed other Lakers to pass the ball to Li Wan.

But now, looking at his confident appearance, it seems... he has practiced holding the ball?
The next scene on the field verified his conjecture.

Li Wan called his teammate's pick-and-roll. Facing Nate Robinson who came up from the supplementary defense, after a solid confrontation, he still dribbled the ball steadily to the basket and passed it to his teammate to score.

This ball, although he didn't score himself, but his ability to hold the ball was shown.

Although this is only the first round, it doesn't explain much, but there is expectation in Phil Handy's eyes.

In the transition between offense and defense, Wilson Chandler waited for Nate Robinson to dribble the ball halfway, clapped his hands for the ball, and "Little Potato" really passed the ball to him.

The purpose of the New York Knicks is obvious, which is to use the summer league to let Chandler adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.

As soon as he got the ball, Li Wan quickly stopped in front of Chandler, preventing him from having room to dribble.

He has the habit of studying opponents during the season, not to mention that Wilson Chandler is still his competitor before the draft, so he is very familiar with it.

Like him, Chandler was a strong defensive player and weak offensive player in college. With his explosive physical fitness, he is a very good wing rim protector.

The offensive end relies on explosive power, he can break through layups and even dunk.

It's just that he doesn't have the ability to hold the ball, and prefers to catch the ball and shoot from a fixed point.

Chandler didn't panic, but started with a "triple threat posture" in an attempt to force Li Wan back.But Li Wan completely ignored his breakthrough threat, and just interfered with him so closely.

Chandler felt like a dog.

I'm already "Three Threats", isn't this guy afraid?
Li Wan: "Three threats"? "War trampled on" that's all!
He simply held the ball and took a big step to the right, forcing a breakthrough, trying to rely on explosive power to pass.

But while he was moving, Li Wan also quickly moved sideways, continuing to stand in front of him.

Under the confrontation, the ball fell from Chandler's hand, and the Lakers teammate Marcus Williams on the side quickly caught the ball.

When Li Wan caught the ball, he immediately played it quickly.Chandler chased after him, thinking that he could catch up easily, but he felt that Li Wan was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Give me the ball!"

Li Wan turned back to ask for the ball, and with a more powerful "motor", he ran in front.Williams obeyed and gave the ball. Li Wan rushed to the basket and had to dunk with one hand.

While he paused to catch the ball, Chandler closed the distance and jumped hard, trying to chase the cap.

But found...

so far!

How can this guy jump so much higher than me?
"Bah!"

Under his unbelievable gaze, Li Wan smashed the ball into the basket hard.

Back in defense, Li Wanyou followed suit and turned into a "dragon king with crooked mouth" and gave Chandler a sarcastic smile.

I'm standing right in front of you, look how much I look like before!
"Your mouth, did it twitch just now?"
