Chapter 108 Utah is too high
The Jazz exposed their problems in the bench rotation stage. - There is no good sixth man on the bench.
The later All-Star Millsap is now just a rookie who has just started his second season. He averaged only 8.2 points per game and only one and a half interceptions. score,
Since Li Wan entered the starting lineup, it is normal for the Lakers to fall behind by an extra four or five points when they meet the top four teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences.
At 3 minutes and 14 seconds of the second quarter of this game, when both sides replaced the starting lineup, the Lakers were only 2 points behind, and the substitute lineup even recovered 1 point for them.
"Good job!"
Kobe Bryant once again showed his "winning smile" side, high-fiving his teammates one by one.
Elegant, easy-going, cordial!
Deron Williams also maintained the state of the second half of the first quarter.
As soon as the second quarter came up, he completed a breakthrough layup against Li Wan and scored the ball.
Rubbing his sore chest, Li Wan finally understood why some people called Deron Williams "LeBron in position one".
This kind of tank-style collision is indeed not something that a number one can have.
"Rookie, do you see that? This is the gap between you and me!"
Deron gestured first to the top of his head, then to his own knee.
"I'm here, and you're only here!"
During the break just now, he had been holding back his energy to prepare some trash talk, and he even prepared a few, but as soon as he succeeded, he immediately sprayed it at Li Wan.
A smug look.
Li Wan smiled and shook his head: "Delong, do you know the altitude of Utah in meters? 1340 meters!"
"???"
Delong was turned into a "Nick Yang" face by Li Wan's abrupt words.
Why did you suddenly mention the altitude of Utah?
"Is this because you don't want to play basketball and want to change your career to be a geography teacher?"
Li Wan smiled, didn't say anything, gave the ball to Kobe, and then quickly ran without the ball. Deron didn't follow at the first time. Li Wan's off-ball fake in the first quarter played him. I was still impressed, seeing that he was really running hard, so I quickly followed up.
However, he slipped past the baseline and was blocked by Kwame Brown.
Li Wan ran out of space, and the ball flew out of Kobe's hands. Li Wan, who was holding the ball, raised his hand and was about to shoot.
After the training match yesterday, Sloan specifically mentioned when explaining his tactics that after the Huaxia rookie runs without the ball and catches the ball, he likes to use a fake shot to mobilize the opponent's center of gravity first, and then start to break through...
Kirilenko is obviously a "top student", and he kept the old handsome words in mind.
Li Wan, who noticed that he didn't rush forward, simply shot directly and scored 2 points.
Another month passed, and Li Wan's mid-range shooting ability value officially broke through the 70 mark, reaching 71 points.
For him now, without interference, even if his shooting rhythm changes, it won't have much impact.
Besides, Kirilenko was stunned for a moment, making sure he was going to shoot before jumping up, giving Li Wan time to adjust.
one more……
With a score difference of 2 points, Li Wan's "Strong Heart" badge is on!
"fxxk!"
Sloan cursed unsurprisingly.
"What are you hesitating about?"
Kirilenko is very wronged, obviously it was you who said that the Chinese rookie may make a fake shot, so don't rush forward too hard, or take off.
Now again...
Wow, old man's mouth!
Deron once again held the ball and made a strong charge. Li Wan was never a person who stood still and was beaten passively. He quickly called for double-teaming. As soon as Bian double-teamed, he sent the ball to Boozer.
Odom followed out to defend Okur.
Boozer singled out Kwame Brown and succeeded in picking the basket.
"fxxk you!"
Kwame Brown yelled.
"Anti-Bone Boy" looked dumbfounded, you scored a goal, it's okay to scold, why did you scold me when I scored a goal!
This should be my "time" to celebrate!
Delong stared at Li Wan. He couldn't figure out what the rookie said just now. He was too embarrassed to ask, so he could only wait helplessly.
*!
I hate this half-talking person the most!
The Lakers continued to give the ball to Kobe. Li Wan continued to run without the ball. He just easily got rid of Deron.
At the peak of Deron, with Boozer on the offensive end, Li Wan really has no way to limit his performance. Even if he calls his brother, it is only barely a little bit of interference.
This is also very clear to Phil Jackson, so he found another way.
Li Wan has annoyed Delong so much, this guy definitely doesn't want to see Li Wan score, so let him spend some energy on the defensive end!
Like most "heavy guards", Deron's footwork on the defensive end is also a problem.
More importantly, Jerry Sloan's UCLA system has spoiled him. He can leak people at will and leave the defense to others.
Like...Kirilenko.
Can……
That's the case with other people!
Facing Li Wan, a hateful rookie, he really didn't want to see this guy score!
However, Li Wan's footsteps without the ball are obviously much better than him.
For the first time, he could say that he didn't notice the opponent's sudden change of play. This time, he was thrown away so easily, and Deron's face began to burn.
Watching Li Wan get the ball from outside the three-point line again, he turned around and was about to shoot.
Delong was in a hurry, and he didn't know where a force came from, and he rushed over suddenly.
"Bang" sound!
Li Wan missed the shot. Looking at Delong who was in a hurry, he smiled: "Don't worry, this is very difficult for me!"
Deron: ...
No!
If you didn't invest in it, you can pretend, right?
and also……
What did you just say about the altitude, but you keep talking!
Curiosity is dying of Delong.
Okur protected the rebound, but his slow movement of protecting the ball allowed Kobe, who became the "old six", to find a chance and slapped it down.
Kwame Brown grabs the ball.
It's hard for Kobe to believe that Kwame Brown can hold the ball!
It was even harder for him to believe that Li Wan was the first person the hanging man looked for after taking the ball?
WTF!
How long has he been with you?
Remember those encouragements I gave you?
In order to take care of your fragile heart, my voice of scolding you is lower than that of others!
This rookie has only been here for a few months?
Under the incomprehensible gaze of "Mamba", Li Wankong cut and caused Okur's foul.
Okur was very annoyed, he didn't want to block the ball, but when Li Wan rushed in, his footsteps were too slow and he couldn't jump.
Li Wan asked with his eyes: Now, do you know how miserable it is to be targeted for being slow?
In fact, Okur's pace is also slow, but he has a three-pointer to mobilize Yao Ming.
This shows how important it is for a center to be able to make three-pointers!
There was a lot of abuse at the scene, and the auditorium was full of firepower all the time. This is the characteristic of the "devil's home court" in Salt Lake City.
Utah is a depressing city, and these fans seem to want to vent their dissatisfaction before entering the arena.
Li Wan made two free throws amid the din, and glanced at Delong while retreating.
There is expectation in Delong's eyes, do you want to say something?Do you want to talk?
Scold me!
Scold me!
amount……
In order to know why Li Wan said Utah's altitude, Delong went crazy...
But Li Wan still only smiled lightly, waiting for him to attack with the ball again.
What!
Cursing secretly in his heart, Deron broke through and gave the ball to Kirilenko on the outside. "AK47" finally rushed once, and the long arm put the ball into the basket.
Really let go!
It's the kind of shot that can be buckled, but insists on letting it go gently...
The long arms are fully stretched, and it is really a "gibbon".
Li Wan felt that Kirilenko could walk with two hands!
Taking the ball in the backcourt, the two sides switched offense and defense, and Kobe held the ball at the top of the arc again in the frontcourt. cuddled in his arms.
The Jazz's counterattack opportunity, Deron advanced very fast, the Lakers still blocked his attack from the outside, and stabilized his hand slightly, Boozer made an air cut, Deron was slow to give the ball, and the two made a mistake in cooperation.
Sloan cursed again.
Such a good opportunity to counterattack was wasted.
Deron tugged on his jersey with a troubled expression.
no……
What on earth is he going to say!
It was the back of Li Wan running who answered him. Kobe made a sudden through ball this time, and Li Wan just entered the inside line and put the ball accurately into the basket.
"Black Mamba" has the ability to pass the ball, but it depends on whether he wants to pass it or not.
Another one, he is indeed not a good organizer.
When a good No. [-] gets the ball, the first thought is to observe the position of his teammates, and Kobe's first thought is to let me put the damn ball into the basket...
6 points!
In the 3 minutes of the second quarter, Li Wan scored 6 points before he knew it, averaging 1 points in 2 minute.
This efficiency...
Letting him run without the ball is obviously a good idea.
The Jazz did not expect that Li Wan would suddenly play off the ball...
After all, this guy has been the chief point guard of the Lakers since December, and the off-ball ability he showed in the first month has gradually been forgotten.
Now that it is taken out suddenly, the damage caused is a bit big!
Sloan quickly called a timeout.
The best way now is to change someone to defend Li Wan, Delong really can't keep up.
But at this time, changing players and defending...
Sloan glanced at Deron's expression, this little fat man is really not sure about it.
"Play more double pick-and-rolls!"
Sloan thought about it, then first ensure the efficiency of the offensive end.
Speaking of which, the Lakers don't have Bynum tonight, and the Jazz should have an advantage inside, but they didn't put too many tactical ends in the inside.
there are many reasons……
The most important thing is that Delong wants to prove his ability in this game, not for a rookie like Li Wan!
This is equivalent to saying that from the very beginning...
The Jazz are in!
However, the adjustment is still effective. Deron and Boozer cooperated more resolutely. A classic pick-and-roll went down, and Boozer put the basket to complete the score.
Just so unknowingly, Boozer's scoring in this game has reached double digits.
He wanted to give Deron a high-five, and the assist was beautiful.
But Delong's gaze had already followed Li Wan.
What do you want to do when you suddenly talk about the altitude of Utah?
Delong followed closely. Li Wan, who noticed this, immediately shifted to fifth gear and sped up. Delong followed behind him with such a single-minded expression.
At this moment, Delong only had Li Wan's back in his eyes!
Ok?
Why is this figure getting closer?
Ok?
How did he turn around and jump up.
Got the ball?
I*!
"Bah!"
"beep!"
Amid the sound of the collision, Li Wan raised his hand indiscriminately. The referee judged that it was a single shot. Even if the ball missed a thousand miles away, he was still given two chances for free throws.
The fans at the scene quit immediately!
Impulsively threw the mineral water bottle, and there were at least 3 spectators who were invited out!
But I didn't expect that the referee on duty was also a bad temper, adding Deron's foul and upgrading it to a malicious foul.
Deron was a little confused, but I didn't say a word!
Referee: You didn't say it, but you have more than 1 substitutes!
Anyway, he sentenced!
At that time, it knocked Li Wan directly to the ground, and it was no problem to call a technical foul.
The referee gave the home whistle just now, and it was just an ordinary foul.
2 knives, just like that.
Delong looked at the "ancestors" who were still chattering, and couldn't help crying in his heart: I am blessed to have you!
He is also really convinced!
"What time is it?"
"8 points!"
"Is it coming?"
"It should be coming!"
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"I'm looking forward to it!"
This is an unpretentious conversation between two Phils on the Lakers bench.
Li Wan scored consecutively, and the frequency was getting faster and faster. From their point of view, this was the trend of getting "nervous"!
Since Li Wan entered the starting lineup, his "nerves" have become less and less, but this is understandable, after all, he has more things to do, and he can no longer just focus on scoring.
Physical fitness is itself a problem...
Therefore, they are not disappointed either.
but……
When Li Wan showed signs of becoming "nervous", they were still extremely looking forward to it.
I can't get enough of Huaxia rookie's scoring show.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Two free throws were made steadily, and the Lakers still had the ball and served at halftime.
Li Wan took small steps, and Delong looked at him, unable to judge for a while.
Kobe actively moved for the ball, and after getting the ball, he even missed Kirilenko who was close to him.
This ball is also "AK47" too ambitious. When Odom served, he suddenly felt that he could break the ball.
As a result of his recklessness, Kobe broke through easily.
Deron was the one closest to Kobe. He hesitated for a while and didn't move, but seeing that Kobe was about to enter the three-point line, he still moved towards Kobe.
As soon as he moved, Kobe immediately handed over the ball, Li Wan raised the knife and scored a three-pointer...
11 points!
11 points!
"Is the Huaxia newcomer soaring?"
Jerry Sloan listened to the almost nonsense exclamation of the assistant coach next to him, his weather-beaten face was also a little moved, and his eyes with obvious eye bags and deeply sunken eye sockets couldn't help squinting.
Watching this young rookie play from the sidelines for the first time, it was a bit shocking to him.
He is not a person who likes to use rookies. Even Deron Williams played nearly 40 games as a substitute in his first season.
This is not just him, Phil Jackson and Larry Brown are the same.
Larry Brown's problem is the worst.
However, now, looking at the vigorous Li Wan on the court, he probably understood why Phil Jackson trusted Li Wan so much.
This kind of performance, even the most rigid head coach, cannot be ignored.
This guy……
11 points?
At this time, Delong also belatedly noticed that Li Wan's score had unknowingly surpassed him.
"Come on, let's guard against these sons of bitches!"
"There will be a 10-point advantage soon!"
Li Wan yelled to return to defense with a flamboyant expression, stimulating the Utahs on the sidelines.
Boos still filled the entire arena, but it was obvious that the confidence of these guys was no longer enough.
"Wow... Lee!"
In a hotel in Memphis, Mike Conley was watching the game. Seeing this, he couldn't help shaking his head and looked at the strong man next to him.
The dark skin of the strong man and the forehead lines like ancient tree bark are none other than Greg Oden.
Tomorrow, January 2008, 1, the Trail Blazers challenged Memphis away. After the two of them had dinner, there was nothing much to do in Memphis. Thinking of Li Wan's game tonight, they came back to the hotel.
I just saw Li Wan start to soar...
Mike Conley looked at Oden, and Oden also looked at Conley. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Conley spoke first: "Lee really sacrificed too much in college!"
just now……
After seeing Li Wan's crazy performance more and more frequently, he believed that Li Wan was already very strong and was just sacrificing for the team.
This point of view is not limited to him, and many media have raised it.
Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he can improve so much in half a year!
In addition, the fact that he only started playing basketball in his third year of high school has been repeatedly mentioned by the media.
In short, Li Wan's performance is too different from that of the NCAA. First of all, if his strength has skyrocketed in the past half a year, there are only two possibilities: first, Li Wan is a genius; second, Li Wan worked for the Ohio team to win the championship, sacrificing too many personal roles.
Although the second point is difficult to understand, it can only be understood in this way now.
As a result, Li Wan received another batch of tears from Ohio.
"Li, you are really our good brother!"
Amidst Oden's exclamation, Li Wan broke through again and made a kill, winning two free throw opportunities.
As Li Wan continued to score and the whistle continued to sound, the Jazz were also a bit chaotic.
Don't reach out when it's time to reach out, and stretch out your hand straight when you shouldn't.
There are only 30 seconds left in the second quarter. With these two free throws, Li Wan will score 13 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers will lead by 10 points.
Li Wan and his teammates high-fived each other, walked towards the free throw line, passed by Delong, imitated his appearance just now, gestured for the position of the top of his head, put it on his chest, and said in his mouth: "You thought you were here, but Actually you are here..."
"You thought I was here..."
He stretched out his other hand, bent down and gestured for the position of his knee, and then raised his hand to his chest, but slightly higher than the level of the other hand.
"But I'm actually here!"
Then he walked to the free throw line and made these two free throws with ease.
Individual scored 13 points in a single quarter!
The Lakers' leading point difference has officially come to 10 points!
Li Wan's trash talk rang in Delong's ears again, which was exactly the second half of what he had always wanted to know:
"Utah is too high!"
"Dude, you've been on the plateau too long..."
"If you look down, you will find that the rookie climbs up much faster than you think!"
The second update arrives, with 5 words, and the same 1 update today.
End of June.
Next is 08!
