Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 99

On December 12, the Lakers set off for Orlando to challenge the Magic.

This is their last away game before Christmas.

Turkoglu has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

The previous experience in Los Angeles was really bad, and he wanted to give Li Wan the same experience.

But as a result, he was "arrested" twice...

It was also at this time that the "Turkish agent" discovered that this rookie was too good at "many people bullying few people".

In addition, Li Wan made 7 of 5 three-pointers in this game.

Turkoglu and Lewis in position [-] of the Magic are too slow, and Nelson is too short. Li Wan can easily get out of the open space and complete a three-point shot against anyone.

To say that these guys are desperately trying to win the "Best Defensive Player Award" for Howard, the defense that can be missed will definitely let Howard interfere...

At the end of the game, Li Wan left Orlando with 20 points, eating hot pot and singing.

Otis Smith, the general manager of the Magic at the time, was also watching the game from the audience, and he was full of praise for Li Wan after the game. When a reporter asked him if he had any thoughts on trading Li Wan.

There was a speechless smile on his face.

As long as the price is right, who wouldn't want Li Wan?

The problem is that Kupchak's asking price is too harsh. He heard that Thomas took the first-round pick and any player in the lineup to trade, but he was rejected.

Other general managers also tried to make offers later, but the results were the same. Kupchak felt that there was not enough bargaining chips.

Gradually they all realized that Kupchak had no intention of trading Li Wan at all, and now no one is making an offer to Kupchak.

Back in Los Angeles with a win.

On December 12, they faced the Clippers "back to back".

On the schedule, the Lakers are at home and the Clippers are away.

But for the Clippers...

It doesn't matter who's away or who's home.

Anyway, those sitting on the sidelines are all Lakers fans!
Fortunately, in this game, the Clippers finally won, which can be regarded as a fierce breath of anger!
After all, for the few Clippers fans, December is really not beautiful. The core of the team, Brand, was accidentally injured during training and caused a rupture of his left Achilles tendon, which was reimbursed early for the season.

This is destined to be another season for the Clippers to compete for the "lotter pick".

The era that belongs to the Clippers does not know when it will come.

Under the influence of "back to back", Li Wan's performance was sluggish again, and once again he failed to reach double figures in a single game and only scored 2 points.

On December 12, after a day's rest, the Lakers continued to sit at home and ushered in the challenge of the Seattle SuperSonics.

In December, the two big favorites of the "Most Rookie of the Month Award" in the Western Conference met again.

After entering December, Kevin Durant is obviously more adaptable to the rhythm, averaging 12% of his shots per game, averaging 45.3 points and 22.3 rebounds per game.

尤其是从12月10号，也就是李万跟斯嘉丽恋情见报的那天开始，凯文杜兰特5场比赛分别拿下了25分、24分、28分、20分、21分的连续5场20加！
The fierce offensive firepower of the individual is fully displayed.

Although in these five games, the Sonics only won one game...

But that doesn't matter. For a rookie, good-looking data is better than anything else!

Even more so for the patient Sonics front office.

When they met before the game, Li Wan could feel that Kevin Durant's hostility towards him had deepened again, but this time he knew the reason very well. Before the online media reported his scandal with Scarlett, the comments below were somewhat This extreme comment, he once thought it was Kevin Durant's trumpet.

It's just that no matter how obvious the hostility is, it's useless. Kobe has marked him all the way, and he has been tidied up.

李万则在超音速队稀烂的外线防守中，再度刷下了21分4篮板4助攻1抢断的数据，命中率高达50%！

In fact, his recent form is also good. He scored 18 points against the Rockets and 20 points against the Magic. Adding the 21 points tonight, he played against the Clippers "back-to-back". , did not perform well.

From Kevin Durant's point of view, he was really angry. He even came to provoke him after losing last time. This time, he didn't say hello to Li Wan, and left this "sad place" without looking back.

But before he left, he glanced at a certain auditorium on the sidelines: Scarlett was sitting in that position that time, right?I don't know if it still smells like her.

Bynum let out a bad breath tonight.

This breath has been holding him back for a week!
In the first game against the Rockets, he scored 7 points and 6 rebounds, which made his rhetoric before the game a laughing stock;

Playing against the Magic, facing "Warcraft", he got the double 10 data, in fact, he played better than the previous game, but Howard got the 16 plus 20 data, in comparison, it is really ugly;
In the battle with the Clippers, his physical fitness was affected, and he watched Chris Kaman score 21 points and 12 rebounds on top of him, but he only had 8 points and 6 rebounds, and was blown up again.

Of course, some media believe that it is normal for him to be blown up in these few games.

Needless to say, Yao Ming and Howard, the current top 5 in the league, although Chris Kaman is not as good as the two of them, and the Clippers are also terrible, but his average of 15 points and 12 rebounds per game is placed on the table. This is much better than Bynum. Bynum is not in a downturn. His real strength is not as good as others...

After such a loss, Bynum faced Nick Collison in this game. He made 11 of 8 shots and 4 of 2 free throws. He scored 18 points and 11 rebounds.

It's a pity that after the game, there is still no media praise for him.

Barkley said bluntly: "In so many centers in the West, Nick should not be ranked in the top eight. If Andrew can't play well in front of him, then he doesn't need to be called Little Shark, but Xiaoyugan is almost the same! "

After hearing this comment, Bynum and Barkley had a two-day "verbal battle" in the air.

Bynum said harshly: "If it is 1v1, I can guarantee that if you can't even score a goal, you will be killed by me!"

Barkley said, "Tell me about this after you get the regular season MVP", and completed the counter-kill.

To be honest, as long as you don't talk to legendary stars like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, with the honor of Barkley's career, it is still stable.

On December 12rd, there was another rain in Los Angeles, and there were 23 days before Christmas. The Lakers ushered in their last opponent before the "Christmas War"-Dallas Mavericks!
The Mavericks, which ranked first in the regular season last season, completely withered after experiencing the "black eight". After nearly two months of adjustment, they are still ranked seventh in the Western Conference.

One bang, then another decline...

The finals in 06 and the first round of the playoffs in 07, two consecutive seasons suffered a big wave, especially last season, the Mavericks, who were invincible in the regular season, who would have thought that they would fall in the first round?
However, the Lakers still attach great importance to this game, because the Lakers lost to the Mavericks before.

Kobe's principle is that with the same team, he absolutely does not accept losing twice in a row.

Before the game, he was sitting on the bench, exuding a cold air all over his body.

Looking at him, Li Wan understood why snakes like basking in the sun...

The Staples home screen gave today's starting list:
Lakers: Li Wan at No. [-], Kobe Bryant at No. [-], Luke Walton at No. [-], Odom at No. [-], Bynum at No. [-];
Li Wan is still the starter.

Although the Lakers lost to the offensive firepower of the substitute lineup in the last game, but with Li Wan's momentum now, no matter what the situation is, unless Li Wan is injured, otherwise, it is impossible to put him on the bench.

The Mavericks also made some changes. "Little General" Johnson put Jason Terry on the bench to ensure the Mavericks' continuous firepower.

Ok……

Mainly, the backcourt composed of Jason Terry and Devin Harris really has no defensive ability. The Lakers already have Kobe and Li Wan who is eye-catching. The ability of the backcourt should not be underestimated. See, the game has just begun, and the Mavericks' backline has been sieved.

The person who replaced him in the starting list was Eddie Jones.

Once the starting guard of the Lakers, Kobe is also a good brother who is both a teacher and a friend.

Joining the Mavericks this summer, he missed the last home game against the Lakers due to injury. He just came back in the last few games. He was pushed to the starting position by Johnson because of his strong defense.

Ke went to say hello before the game, and this was the only time he smiled today.

When Eddie Jones came on the field, there was a lot of cheers at the scene.

Some new fans didn't know who he was, and the old fans took the initiative to tell them about the years when the Lakers were still in the quagmire. At that time, Eddie Jones and Shaq O'Neal were the hope of the Lakers.

At the small forward position, it's Josh Howard.

The inside line is still Nowitzki and Dampier.

As far as the configuration is concerned, tonight's Mavericks have both offense and defense.

But if you add attitude...

When Dampier jumped the ball, he didn't even bother to straighten his hands.

Li Wan had control of the ball for halftime, and the first ball was given to Kobe Bryant for an "old friend's discussion".

Eddie Jones is 36 years old this year, and in another 8 days, he will be 37 years old. Time has taken away his physical fitness, leaving only enough experience.

If you face an ordinary defender, you can still rely on experience to make up for it.

But in the face of Kobe, it's not enough.

Moreover, Kobe beat him when he was still in high school.

Holding the ball, he took a tentative step towards the side. Seeing that Eddie Jones didn't intend to come up, Kobe directly held the ball and broke through. While lowering his center of gravity, he leaned on his shoulders. Eddie Jones failed to block his breakthrough and hurriedly slid The interception, but at this time, Kobe made an emergency stop and shot a jumper.

Eddie Jones, who moved his entire center of gravity back, could only watch the ball fly out of Kobe's hand in a daze.

With a sound of "Boom", the ball knocked out, and Kobe kicked the ball too hastily.

Bynum took off with Dampier in his hands, and hugged the ball first. After landing, he made another fake move to shake Dampier away, and succeeded in smashing and dunking with one hand.

2-0!

"Little Shark" grabbed the ball really well, and there was a lot of shouts at the scene.

The team abused me thousands of times, I treat the team like first love!
This is what fans...

Some time ago, Bynum was scolded miserably in the media, and they were also angry, but as long as he played a good performance, they would still give cheers immediately.

Harris took the ball to the frontcourt and called Dampier's pick-and-roll. When Li Wan squeezed past him, this guy passed him with pure speed. This guy later created the Guinness World Record for "full-court dribbling speed" in the Nets. "The Mavericks guard, the playoffs will return to the hips, and the speed is really fast.

It has been a long time since Li Wan suffered from the exhaustion of the matchup.

I ate this one.

Harris scored a layup, and Li Wan dribbled the ball to the front court. He was not in a hurry, but directed the movement and gave the ball to Bynum under the basket.

Now Bynum is eager to show himself. After getting the ball, he feels the resistance behind him a little bit, and immediately plays singles with the ball. Dampier is known as "the second center in the West". Li Wan feels that he is missing two words: countdown!

It was just another fake move, and Dampier was thrown away. Fortunately, Nowitzki made up this time and reached out to interfere. Dampier was not active in defense, but he was still very active in grabbing defensive rebounds.

That's right, by grabbing defensive rebounds back then, he got 7 million in 7000 years from Cuban.

The Mavericks counterattacked.

Harris rushed too fast and made a dribble error. Li Wanbai picked up a steal and Eddie Jones immediately replaced him. Li Wan couldn't get off quickly.

"Come on, let me see what the latest hot newcomers are capable of!"

Jones faced Li Wan with much more confidence, and his expression also carried the attitude of a senior in the alliance.

"At least I won't lose to a high school student..."

Li Wan replied blandly, there were two people whose expressions became uncomfortable.

Eddie Jones had heard of Li Wan's reputation as a "trash talker" for a long time, and wanted to try his "venomous tongue" when he threw out the trash talk just now, but...he almost KO'd him with one sentence.

This kid talks, one step to the stomach!
Another person with a slightly trembling mouth is Kobe lying on the gun...

He really wanted to ask, if you talk trash and don't take me with you, will you die?

The heartbroken Eddie Jones also became very serious, but Li Wan let him know what "fist is afraid of the young", he was stunned from outside the left three-point line, all the way diagonally, using his footsteps, and completed it at the top of the arc. After breaking through and attracting Nowitzki's defense at the basket, he jumped up and stuck to his back with an "underarm pass", assisting Odom to score with a jump hook.

When the ball flew out of Odom's hands, Nowitzki was still looking around for the ball.

Li Wan's pass really confused him.

The big screen kept replaying Nowitzki's search for the ball, and the cheers on the scene were also overwhelmed.

Li Wan returned to the defense and looked at Kobe: "No wonder you were able to beat him in high school!"

Eddie Jones almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

This rookie is really a bully!

If you have the ability to wait until you are 37 years old, we will...

Forget it, when this rookie is 37 years old, I will be 55, and I still can't beat...

There is no hope in this life, let's work hard in the next life.

Kobe Bryant had an expression of "don't let me down". He decided to talk to Li Wan after the game, and after that he would talk trash and bring him with him. See you at the Toyota Center Arena at 4:[-] in the morning!
