9 month 2 day.
PG1 released Li Wan's version of "Last shot".
This is the seventh peripheral product after "Let the World Focus on Orlando", "Mr. 52 Points", "Break the Blues" and "Mr. 36 Points in the Playoffs".
Prior to this, PG1 also launched the "Crazy Night" version of the second round of the playoffs, and the "Crazy Night" in the round of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics.
But so far, the first four models have been discontinued, and the best-selling "Brutal Beat the Blues" has sold all 4 pieces. Li Wan made a profit of 10 million knives for this set of peripherals alone.
Adding up the 4 models, if two of the series are still in stock, Li Wan probably earned 1300 million.
This is also the reason why he has not received many advertisements in China.
The money they earn from endorsement promotion is not as much as Li Wan's own brand.
Don't consume your own image value so much.
Especially after launching the "Rainbow Wristband" series with Nike, it sold very well and made almost 3 million dollars.
Coupled with the remaining 750 million knives in the first year of Nike’s sneaker endorsement, Li Wan’s bank card already has 3500 million knives, converted into RMB, and there are two small goals.
How else can I make money selling meat muffins!
At present, there are only 1 models that PG3 is promoting, and the most promising one should be the new "Last Shot", because this Li Wan is going to be launched in China.
Of course, the price must be cheaper than that of the United States.
Li Wan's price is 200 RMB per piece, which is almost 4/1 of the price in the United States.
This is the same reason that Nike's shoes in the United States will be much cheaper.
They all built up popularity in the country and used their influence to expand abroad...
That afternoon, Li Wan received his first signature shoe from Nike. ——"Nervous Knife".
This is a spliced version of magic color and Lakers color, which are intersected and fused. protection.
In this way, Nike simply designed a Velcro to hide the shoelaces together.
Added a layer of mystery.
Just like Li Wan before the start of the game, you would never imagine what kind of shocking performance he will play tonight.
It is worth mentioning that on the "Nervous Knife" model for fans, there is also a design on the Velcro, which is inlaid with a translucent round box with a small dice inside, which moves with the feet , will keep scrolling, 3 for a while, 6 for a while, 9 for a while...
It can be said to be a small design with full fit.
Originally, there was a special "China Tour" for this shoe in the summer, but Li Wan decided to play in the Summer Olympics, so the China Tour was cancelled, and the release time was temporarily put on hold.
Thankfully it was shelved!
The Nike people really didn't expect that Li Wan would make another big commotion on the stage of the Olympic Games.
Now, taking advantage of this global hot wind, Nike doesn't want any promotional activities. Is there any better publicity than this?Li Wan's first "signature shoe" has been launched urgently!
Of course, if the Huaxia tour can't be done, there is still a press conference, including the video MV about this shoe, which is clearly arranged.
With Li Wan's current popularity, it is indeed worth Nike's effort.
At the same time, the free market has once again made a big move.
A deal that would have been made came...
The Bucks sent Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons in exchange for Richard Jefferson and $3 million in cash from the Nets.
At this time, Bobby Simmons has long lost the style of the "Most Improved Player Award" back then, and is completely a substitute among pure substitutes.
There is no potential and no future.
That is to say...
pass on...
Yi Jianlian replaced Richard Jefferson, the "beast wing" who averaged 22.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game last season!
This shows that the Nets are very optimistic about Yi Jianlian's growth.
Although he was injured all the time in his rookie season, his overall performance still has great potential. He...
Ok!
The main reason is that the Nets have gradually begun to rebuild.
at the same time……
The chief assistant coach of the Nets in the new season is "Silver Fox" Harris.
Yes, that's the Harris who put Kobe on the bench and led the China men's basketball team to the top eight in 04.
He has always admired Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian's ability to participate in the Olympic Games in 04 was inseparable from him.
Now, it's the same situation.
When the Nets wanted to send Richard Jefferson away, he immediately recommended Yi Jianlian!
In terms of Yi Jianlian's short five years in the NBA, the coaching staff of the Nets undoubtedly valued him the most. His ability is indeed no problem, as evidenced by his rookie season scoring 5 points in a single game.
but……
The body is too brittle!
Every injury will consume the management's patience with him.
If Li Wan remembers correctly, he will miss about 20 games due to injury in the new season.
However, the original difference is that now that Yi Jianlian has won the Olympic Games, he doesn't have to rush to prove himself.
Although Li Wan's appearance brought him unlimited pressure at the beginning, after the Olympics, in the eyes of the Chinese media, it is certain that Li Wan is "Dayao's successor."
Yi Jianlian, who is not under so much pressure, might really adapt slowly and stay in this league.
Of course, his style of play must be changed. In theory, he is more suitable to be a space-type four that complies with the "small ball era".
Templates...
The Hawks' starting No. 05, the [-] No. [-] Marvin Williams!
9 month 6 day.
I don't know if the training camp for the new season will start soon, and another big deal will be born.
Li Wan knew that the Rockets sent Bobby Jackson, Dante Green and the 2009 first-round pick to get Beast Artest from the Kings.
However, before the deal was announced, Li Wan already knew about it.
Yao Ming sent him a message in the morning: Tomato, Artest is coming to the Rockets!
He is really worried!
As far as the Rockets' current lineup is concerned, as long as he and McGrady remain healthy, at least they can still have a glimmer of fantasy about the championship.But now that Artest comes, if there is a "Toyota incident" and the Rockets are forced to rebuild, then his last peak period will be doomed to waste.
Although Li Wan knew that the final result of this transaction was not bad, at least Artest had successfully completed his mission in Space City.
Just talking about the premise of this deal, the Rockets chose to gamble at a stage when Yao Ming was least suitable for gambling. It can be seen that they did not take Yao Ming's sacrifice of contract salary seriously.
Maybe I was also grateful for a month or two, but that's all.
It is estimated that Yao Ming was also depressed, so he sent him a message.
But no matter what, Artest's strength is really worth mentioning, especially on the defensive end. He and Battier made the Rockets' perimeter an impregnable wall.
This is also the reason...
The media at home and abroad have already blown it up anyway.
As long as Artest doesn't mess up, then this Rockets team has the strength to win the championship!
In fact, this time the experts really didn't miss it.
In the original 08-09 season, the Rockets were the only team that played seven games in the series against the Lakers. The Lakers' other opponents in the playoffs this season, including the Magic that entered the finals, failed to do so. to this point.
The same is true. Later, many Rockets fans regretted that if Yao Ming hadn't been injured at that time, maybe the Rockets would have been the final champion...
On September 9, after Li Wan and Taylor wrote a poem goodbye all night, they departed for Ohio, and the "Four Little Cubs of Ohio" reunited again at Ohio University.
Watching his jersey slowly rise above the Ohio University arena, Li Wan recalled those youthful years.
The current Li Wan has no objection that he is a "bad guy".
But in the NCAA, they fought together with Mike Conley, defeated one powerful opponent after another, and finally won the championship. Thinking about those days now, Li Wan couldn't help but say something in his heart:
It's still cool!
Then, as honorary students of the school, Li Wan and others donated $10 to their alma mater.
Li Wan's first retired jersey was born in this way.
"Lee, I'll see you during the regular season. I'll let you see how I've grown this summer!"
Mike Conley is confident.
It can be seen from his figure that he has indeed undergone some hard training this summer.
but……
Li Wan is very clear that, as a representative player of the league's rapid progress, the name Conley is far from being noticed by the media.
Greg, on the other hand, doesn't know if it's because he got to know Li Wan. I heard that he went to China this summer to set bones. , should recover pretty well.
Maybe this time, he will become the representative of the rising star at position 5.
Of course, he thought so in his heart. Before he left, Li Wan tidied up Auden's clothes: "Can you dress a little more stylishly? People in their sixties are always the same as those in their eighties..."
Done.
Seeing the "old man" chasing after him at a brisk pace, without worrying at all, Li Wan can be sure now that he is indeed recovering well.
On September 9, when the plane landed at Orlando Airport, Li Wan stepped out of the hatch, stretched comfortably, and looked up at the sky. The sky in Orlando is always so sunny.
Li Wan suddenly had an impulse.I want to snap my fingers handsomely, and then shout: Orlando, your king is back!
amount……
Sure enough, it’s true that you can’t watch too much Hot Blood Fan, because if you watch too much, people will fall into the second grade...
He recently reviewed "Slam Dunk" again.
Back in the rented apartment, Tyron had already had someone clean it in advance, so looking at it, it didn't look like a house that I haven't been back to for months
Coincidentally, just after packing up, Howard called: "Hey, buddy, the new season is about to start, let's have a party to celebrate?"
Ok……
It's very Howard.
However, it is indeed a very good idea, because Howard also invited new people.Before training, everyone should get acquainted with each other first, which is really conducive to the running-in between each other.
Li Wan believed that Howard had this meaning.
He agreed.
Howard, who heard his promise, was also secretly relieved.
Generally speaking, this kind of early training before the start of the season, or parties, are organized by the team's "big brother".
Yes, Howard is declaring his sovereignty in this way.
Magic, I am the leader!
Li Wan was willing to cooperate with him, he was very happy.
Feel free to be my "Kobe"!
I, Dwight Shaq Howard, will lead you to the "three-peat"!
During the Olympics, "Warcraft" felt that he had learned how to be the boss of a team...
Of course Li Wan didn't know that he was thinking about this matter, otherwise he would definitely be dumbfounded.
because……
He doesn't like the position of the boss of the Magic at all.
For Li Wan, the Magic is just a better choice than the Lakers. It can get rid of the bond between Kobe and his "Pippen" image in public opinion faster, and it also gives him more opportunities to grow with the ball.
But if he really wants to choose a team and put his brand on it, even the "Li Wan Era" of this team, then...
I'm afraid Orlando's name will not be among the top 20 choices.
Who cares about this small ruined temple!
Therefore, at present, he is very clear about his position, an "alliance mercenary" like Kevin Durant...
It was also for this reason that he was so slow, and he didn't realize that Howard had become somewhat wary of him, fearing that he coveted the position of "Magic team leader".
The party was held in a temporarily rented villa. Since Howard was the leader of the party, the overall style was somewhat inappropriate.
Those "celebrities" in the atmosphere group wear as cool as they want.
I'm afraid that others don't know what they do.
The fabric is so cheap that even the cherries can't cover it.
Tolerance is great, even if you take two steps, you have to lift it...
But looking at their faces of "Quick* me", Li Wan knew...
on purpose.
"Hey man, welcome to the Magic!"
"Welcome, Jason!"
"Hey man, we're teammates again!"
Li Wan greeted the newcomers one by one. Of course, he greeted Kwame Brown more enthusiastically, after all, he was more familiar.
He didn't immediately ask Jason Williams about dribbling skills. Training camp is coming soon. This is the last few days of vacation, and everyone wants to enjoy it.
A fun and successful party ended. On September 9, most teams chose to open their training camp on this day.
In Boston, Paul Pierce changed into his training uniform and headed to the training ground. Before he entered, he heard the panting sound of "ho ho ho". It's Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, they've been training in full swing.
Seeing Paul Pierce come in, the eyes of the other two were full of energy.
With the arrival of the new season, version 2.0 of "The Last Carnival" of the old guys is officially launched.
In Houston, Yao Ming changed his training clothes and was changing his shoes when Artest came in. The two of them were taken aback for a moment. They didn't expect that the first time they met, they would be alone.
The atmosphere is somewhat awkward.
Yao Ming handed over a forced warm smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
Unexpectedly, Artest took the initiative to walk in front of Yao Ming: "Yao, you may have concerns, I understand very well, but I believe that you will soon see what I can bring to this team!"
Such a sincere attitude is very different from the ferocious "beast" in Yao Ming's previous impressions.It also made him smile again, this time no longer reluctantly:
"Welcome to Houston, Ron!"
In Cleveland, LeBron James entered the training ground at the buzzer, looking at the old and new teammates who were already undergoing personal training, his eyes were full of confidence:
"Guys, let's make a big scene in Cleveland!"
And in the first team training game later, watching his teammates throwing the ball one by one, he was even more sure that this time...
Sure!
I won the championship, what can I say?
Cleveland, this is for you!
Ok……
That's a good sentence!
In Denver, Carmelo Anthony looked at the familiar locker in the locker room with a strange name written on it: Chauncey Billups, feeling very complicated.
In the future, there will be no buddies who are hi together, what's the point of playing in the NBA!
There was no sweet smile on "Melon"'s face.
Now that you can't enjoy yourself, let's focus more on the game field...
Thinking this way, he no longer waited for other teammates to arrive, and went to the training ground to practice first.
When he arrived, he found that Chauncey Billups was already practicing free throws.
The latter also noticed the movement, looked towards him, and saw Carmelo Anthony approaching, he also took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Carmelo, I am looking forward to our new season, hope, I I can help you!"
Put yourself in a word...
Anthony felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face at that time, and suddenly he couldn't remember the appearance of his big brother who took him to eat, drink and have fun.
This new Big Brother is a little drunk and a little heady.
Yes!
it's time!
It's time for me, Carmelo Anthony, to be the "boss" too!
Los Angeles.
Kobe walked out of the parking lot expressionlessly. A staff member passed by and suddenly remembered something. He chased after him and said, "Kobe, there is a courier for you. It's been a long time since I sent it. I just put it in the locker room for you."
express delivery?
Kobe froze for a moment, he didn't remember buying anything online.
Moreover, even if he bought something, he should fill in his own address!
It was probably sent by a fan!
"The sender seems to be Li Wan..."
What the staff member said next made him stunned again.
Why did the hanging man send me a courier all of a sudden?
Kobe went to the locker room with a strange expression on his face, and sure enough, he saw a courier with the sender's name on it:
Li Wan!
What a bitch...
Kobe picked up the courier and pinched it, guessing in his heart: It's so thin, it should be a document or something.
What could it be?
Thinking to himself, Kobe didn't even look at it, and threw it directly into the trash can.
He felt that if he opened it, he would be caught by Li Wan, so he chose...
dont see!
As long as I don't look at it, the hanging man can't fix me.
Ok……
He is indeed quite familiar with Li Wan now.
As a result, after changing his clothes, Kobe couldn't help it, and picked it up from the trash can again.
Man, after all, it is no match for that curiosity.
Even the "Black Mamba" is no exception.
But when he picked it up, he hesitated again.
To open, or not to open, that is the question...
If Director Zhang were to explain this scene, it would definitely be: "Hey, Kobe is fighting wits and courage with the trash can, this looks good, let's see how Kobe will deal with it..."
"Crack!"
In the end Kobe tore it apart.
Inside is the photo of him supporting Li Wan, and next to it is a passage from Li Wan: Thank you, Pippen!
Gan!
Just say it can't be opened!
Kobe angrily stuffed it back into the trash can.
"The bitch actually said I was Pippen?"
That night, Kobe, who was already asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and cursed fiercely.
punishment!
wait!
He can't wait for the schedule of the new season to come out, and then mark the date of the game against the Magic!
"Nice! Dwight, you are getting more and more proficient at turning around. It seems that you have grown a lot in the national team this summer!"
On the first day of the Magic's training camp, there was an intra-team training match, led by Li Wan and Howard respectively, to compete against each other.
At the beginning of the game, Howard's performance was very active, continuously outputting unlimited output to Gortat behind him.
Now the "Polish Hammer" is indeed a hammer.
The confrontation at the basket was completely suppressed.
Ewing watched in tears off the court. He felt that Howard must have absorbed his teachings from last season and strengthened them during the summer with the national team.
"Warcraft" is about to start!
Tremble, the entire alliance, the "second generation of orangutans" is coming back!
Ewing believes that Howard, who has evolved in this way, will become the absolute overlord of the restricted area.
Don't think it's just such a turn around, but with Howard's explosive physical fitness, it's so difficult to guard!
Howard became more excited when he heard Ewing's praise, and even showed off his "new skills".
Hit the board at two consecutive 45-degree angles at mid-distance.
Yes.
Howard also developed a mid-range shot this season!
Li Wan has an impression of this matter. Originally, in the first month of the new season, Howard showed it from time to time in the game.
It's just that he probably discovered later that the position of his jumper seems to be able to easily complete the dunk by taking a step forward...
A shot with a 40% shooting percentage, and a slam dunk with a 100% shooting percentage...
This is still a hair!
Gradually, this skill is also lost.
"Kwame, come up!"
Li Wan took advantage of their team's substitution opportunity at this time.
"Let him see the finals-level defense!"
Li Wan patted Kwame, and then dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Michael Pietrus was defending him.
Pietrus, nicknamed "French Jordan", is also a member of the "Golden Generation" in 03, and his pick is not low, the 11th pick in the first round.
The best physical fitness is his advantage in the draft.
It's just that in the Warriors for 5 years, he didn't have the opportunity to hone his ball-handling ability. Instead, he developed a very stable three-pointer and a very good individual defensive ability.
With his fixed style of play, he has become synonymous with wing players who can defend and catch and shoot.
During the NCAA period, Li Wan played in the same style as him. On the offensive end, he catches and shoots or cuts and catches the ball for a layup. On the defensive end, he has a good flank defense ability.
Therefore, although Li Wan's physical fitness is not so outstanding, Michael Pietrus has become his template.
It can also be seen from this why most players cannot reach the level of their own templates.
Because of the template given by the scouts, most of the abilities are only stronger than the player's.
After Li Wan's crotch continued to shake Pietrus' center of gravity, he cut in with the ball and did not directly shake off Pietrus, but in the confrontation, he still scored the ball!
Stan Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of my father, no, as expected of Li Wan!
Van Gundy watched Li Wan's games in the Olympics. At that time, he could see that Li Wan's ball-handling and breakthrough ability had improved. Now he is facing Pietrus' ball-handling ability. In the new season, Li Wan will surely complete the task of the Magic's "sharp row" better.
This "knife" is even sharper!
Pietrus looked at Li Wan, who was jogging back to the defense, with some surprise in his eyes.
At first I heard that he was Li Wan's model.
His thought was, could this fucking template be me?
Now, oh no, not now, but since the second month of last season, his mind has changed:
This fucking template could be me?
He should be my template, right?
How can I be better than him?
seriously……
Michael Pietrus really felt that Li Wan lived the way he wanted.
The handsome appearance of this breakthrough with the ball is what Michael Pietrus thought he would look like on the court if he could hold the ball.
"Hey, Dwight, I'll bet you $100 that you won't score in the next round. Do you dare to bet?"
When it was Howard's turn to attack, Li Wan shouted at Howard.
When Howard heard this, dissatisfaction appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: Didn't you see the state I was in just now?
Without even thinking about it, he agreed: "Then you are ready to sign the check, Li!"
He didn't pay attention to Lang Kwame Brown, the No. 01 pick in [-].
No. [-] and No. [-]...
There is also a gap!
"White Chocolate" dribbled the ball halfway through the court at this time, and was about to direct his teammates to move, but saw Howard standing two steps outside the three-second zone, pushing Kwame Brown behind him, making a gesture of asking for the ball Get ready for action.
Li Wan's voice was so loud, so Jason naturally heard it. Originally, he wanted Howard to catch the ball in a more comfortable position, but seeing how confident he was, he passed the ball without hesitation.
Successfully catching the ball, Howard's expression at this moment can definitely advertise for Rejoice. At the same time as the ball exploded, his buttocks were pushed back, and then he turned around quickly, but Kwame Brown, who should have been pushed away by him, was angry expression.
"fxxk you!"
After a loud curse, there was a bang.
Howard missed the goal!
Not only did he miss, but the entire shooting posture was completely deformed.
Ewing, who was quite happy just now and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, was stunned for a moment at this moment.
This……
Why did you go back to a year ago?
No, not as good as a year ago!
In fact, it is very clear from his point of view that Howard did not completely push Kwame Brown away.He took a small step back, the most important center of gravity did not shake at all, and quickly moved laterally to complete the interception.
"Beautiful, Kwame, that's it!"
Li Wan waited to give Kwame Brown a high-five, and then said to Howard, "Dude, don't forget my $100!"
Howard was very upset, full of dissatisfaction, so when it was their turn to attack again, Howard took the initiative to say to Li Wan: "Do it again, dare you?"
"can!"
Li Wan's answer was too straightforward, and Howard became more and more upset. He held back his strength, and this time he exerted more force, but he soon discovered that something was wrong...
No!
why this guy...
It's so difficult!
Howard also specially practiced the top of the back this summer.
No matter how strong the spear could not fall, they all surrendered under his back!
He really didn't expect...
There are still such brave people in the world!
He suddenly remembered what he had just thought:
There is also a gap between the number one scholar and the number one scholar!
Coauthored me below, I am 0?
"Dangdang!"
No entry again!
One time may be luck, but both times are similar. Even because Howard has increased the number of pouts this time, Kwame Brown's core ability is undoubtedly revealed...
"Warcraft" top him is really strenuous!
Li Wan was not surprised at all. You must know that even after Dayao gained weight in the first year, playing Kwame Brown in singles under the basket is still a very strenuous task.
It wasn't until Dayao's complete weight gain ended and he really took root in the ground that Kwame Brown gradually couldn't stand him anymore.
Yao Ming has such a stage. Among the same type of players, Howard, who is not considered outstanding in his lower body strength, can succeed in singles at the basket?
Howard wants to deal with Kwame Brown, then it must be a more refreshing catch and shot.
Or the second offense after grabbing a rebound.
Using the best physical fitness to beat Kwame with a weak foothold is the way to gain the upper hand.
Li Wan knew the two of them thoroughly, so he naturally dared to make this bet with Howard.
The confrontation training in the team ended soon. Li Wan took the check signed by Howard for 1 dollars and pushed it back with a smile: "Dude, as long as you promise me one request, I don't need this money..."
"what?"
Howard looked at him curiously.
It's not that he is reluctant to part with a thousand dollars. Last summer, he just signed a five-year 5 million maximum salary contract. In his eyes, $8500 is just a tip casually stuffed into the collar of a bitch.
Li Wan also knew that Howard didn't like the thousand dollars, and he just wanted to use this bet to express his thoughts to Howard:
"From now on, your singles practice with the ball under the basket must be against Kwame Brown. When you can easily score on him, this requirement will be void..."
Howard probably didn't expect Li Wan's request to be this.
This……
It was right in his heart.
Being restricted by Kwame Brown today, Howard is also holding a breath in his heart!
Even if Li Wan doesn't say it, he still has the idea of fighting Kwame Brown one-on-one again...
Really macho, dare to face macho!
"Okay, Li, I promise you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, and Li Wan gave him a high-five, and the agreement took effect.
As such...
When Howard faces the Lakers' top defense in the future, he should be able to adapt a lot... right?
Yes, even though the new season hasn't started yet, Li Wan is already preparing for the finals.
Kwame Brown's top defense at the basket is definitely better than "Crispy Shark". If Howard can score easily on top of him, then he can definitely score easily on Bynum.
Of course, with regard to Howard's two moves, Li Wan didn't expect that in the finals, Howard could already hold the ball under the basket and easily push Brown to score.
As long as he can adapt to this intensity, Li Wan will be very satisfied.
In the next few days, the training camp gradually got on track.
After the new teammates became more integrated into the environment, Li Wan also formally asked Jason Williams for advice on dribbling breakthroughs.
This scene was so impressive in the mind of "White Chocolate", that it was still unforgettable when he was interviewed n years later:
"At that time, I had only been in the team for a few days. During daily training, he suddenly walked up to me and said very seriously, Hey, White Chocolate, I want to improve my dribbling and breakthrough ability. You can Do you have any good advice?"
"At that time, he was already the hottest new star in the league, and he defeated Meng Ba in the Olympic final, but he was still learning humbly and making up for his own shortcomings. Progress, can the rest of the alliance survive? God! Fortunately, I am not in the same era as you..."
His impression of Li Wan also completely changed when Li Wan took the initiative to ask for advice.
"He was destined to succeed and be a great player..."
This was the last sentence White Chocolate said when recalling this past, and it was also the only thought in his mind at the moment.
"Sure, of course!"
He readily agreed to Li Wan, and taught him all his understanding of ball possession and breakthrough throughout his career.
After Li Wan had a better understanding of some details, it was boring training...
Knew it!
Not enough talent, enough training!
He understood why there were so many small details in Kobe's post-up singles.If only he could smoke a cigarette in the air like Michael Jordan, waiting for his opponent to land first before making a shot.
What little details does he need to study!
The same is true for Li Wan. If he is really forced to drain all his talents, does he still need to practice his dribbling breakthrough skills like this?
The "white chocolate" passing style was added to the proficiency panel package when Jason Williams patiently guided Li Wan to hold the ball.It's just that Li Wan probably doesn't know how to learn...
Such fancy stuff!
What is there to learn...
"Jason, how did you do that elbow pass?"
I won't learn a fart!
If you are not good at playing, what are you playing!
This frightened Stan Van Gundy a lot. He looked at Li Wan and couldn't help but remind him, "Li, your main task is to score...you haven't forgotten, have you?"
In fact, after "White Chocolate" started his career with the Heat, his entire style has become very down-to-earth.
But impressions are really hard to get rid of!
Van Gundy will never forget the basketball that suddenly flew towards him during the game against the Kings n years ago...
The feeling was not much better than when his younger brother hugged Mourning's thigh.
With the further improvement of Li Wan's dribbling skills, Stan Van Gundy also set the Magic's starting list for the new season:
Number one: Li Wan;
Second position: Raja Bell;
Third position: Turkoglu;
Fourth position: Lewis;
Fifth position: Howard;
Then there are the benches. Li Wan's first bench is Jason Williams, and the second bench is Arroyo; Raja Bell's benches are Michael Pietrus and Bogans; Turkoglu's The substitute is also Pietrus; Lewis's substitute is Antonio McDyess; the fifth position's substitute is naturally Kwame Brown who came for Li Wan.
Gortat, Brian Cook, Adonal Foyer are sitting next to the water cooler;
At the beginning of October, Otis signed Tyronn Lue with a basic salary and a face of "you know the ball very well".
This is the final spot on the Magic's 15-man roster.
The media in Orlando were quite satisfied with Otis' actions in the summer and gave him an A rating.
If Orlando Multimedia is one of its own, then ESPN's rating of Otis should be considered fair, and it also has an A- rating.
Above Otis, only Cavaliers general manager Griffin!
His operation reached A+!
But it's also normal. No matter how the Magic strengthen, they will also strengthen the bench. The Cavaliers have strengthened almost the entire starting lineup.
Can this be compared?
It is also for this reason that the Cavaliers rank second in the major media's predictions for the new season finals, only behind the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Even the Celtics were squeezed behind them.
It's just that after the official release of the team's schedule for the new season on October 10, Li Wan has reason to suspect that this is to create momentum for LeBron and Kobe.
Two of the strongest "single weapons" in the current alliance.
LeBron James, who won the "scoring champion" last season, has "great achievements", and will have a strong impact on Kobe who is sitting on the throne this summer!
The slogan "23vs24" was shouted again.
Coupled with the predictions of the major media in the previous two days, the Lakers and Cavaliers are the two strongest teams in the new season.
For a while, the new season has not yet played, and the names of the two teams in the finals have already been written:
Cleveland Cavaliers VS Los Angeles Lakers!
And this year's "Christmas War"...
It's the warm-up for the finals!
Yes, on December 12, the "Christmas dinner" arranged by the league is the Lakers' challenge to the Cavaliers at home.
As for the Magic team speculated by some media before...
They did have a "Christmas War", but it was not the Lakers, but the Celtics who eliminated them in the playoffs last season.
Obviously, from the league's point of view, the Magic's goal for the new season should be to continue to challenge for the Eastern Conference seat. The first thing to do is naturally revenge, and they will defeat the Celtics who defeated them in the Eastern Conference Finals... …
Then talk about other...
Of course, if it is said that the favorites to win the championship, then these four teams are all included.
All have a chance of winning.
There are also the Spurs, the Rockets...
This season has not yet started, but fans are already full of expectations. When 8 ESPN experts talked about who will be the final champion of the 08-09 season in the "round table meeting", six different answers appeared rarely!
Just like after Michael Jordan retired, NBA guards flourished. Under the "four shooting guards", there are also a group of outstanding second positions such as Arenas, Michael Reid, Dwyane Wade, and Ray Allen. ...
"OK" disintegrated, "Stone Buddha" was getting old, and Kobe, who had just won the first finals MVP of his career, was not stable. Now the league has officially entered the "era of championship competition"!
Who will become the next Michael Jordan or Shaq O'Neal, for the time being, I really can't give an accurate answer.
Some people are thinking about the championship, while others are staring at the schedule in a daze.
Just like Kevin Durant children's shoes.
He hasn't taken his eyes off the schedule for 15 minutes, and he's watching...
It's the Oklahoma City Thunder's first game of the new season against...
not someone else...
It is the Orlando Magic that owns Li Wan!
What is "the enemy's road is narrow", this is "the enemy's road is narrow"!
However, just in time...
Then Kevin - Durant's mind.
He hoped that in the new season he could meet Li Wan as soon as possible.
He wanted everyone to know that even though Li Wan was brave and invincible enough in the Olympics, he, Kevin Durant, was still above him!
It's wrong not to give me the "Best Rookie"!
Kevin Durant is thinking about Li Wan, and Li Wan is...
Researching preseason opponents.
There are no newcomers in this year's Magic team, and there is no need to investigate any players, so Stan Van Gundy has long said that the preseason will be used as a regular season for rotation. This is also to run out the team's chemical reaction as soon as possible.
Although the starting lineup only changed one person.
But this "one-star four-shot" style of play was summed up by Stan Van Gundy during the playoffs at the end of the regular season last year.It is equivalent to saying that the entire team's system has changed.
The adjustment period is naturally longer.
Of course, Li Wan also believes that even if they play as a regular season, it is impossible for their main force to play for such a long time in the preseason. The season has not even started yet, and no head coach would be so yelling at his players. them.
Especially "Coach Anxi" he is very experienced...
The main Magic also included two games at home in the preseason.
The Rockets, Nets and Magic are all included in the NBA's trip to China this time. It is of course a good thing to go back to China, but if the schedule is too tight, it will be torture.
It's no less than playing "back to back"...
"Hey, Lee, did you see that when you came?"
Kwame Brown entered the room at this time and asked Li Wan excitedly.
Li Wan knew what he was talking about and nodded, "I see."
The makeup photos for the new season have been taken a few days ago. He and Howard, as the absolute core of the team, took a core photo, and then made a big poster and pasted it on the advertising wall of the Amway Arena.
Orlando Multimedia also called out the new "Hardaway and Shaq O'Neal" very cooperatively!
Don't ask why not the Orlando version of the "OK" combo.
The question is that we in Orlando also had a combination of inside and outside line back then, and the results were also very good. We reached the finals all the way, but lost to the peak "big dream" Rockets in the end.
They believe that Li Wan and Howard can definitely reshape the glory of Orlando.
Do not!
It is to achieve greater glory!
However, when Howard saw this report, he was somewhat unhappy. Who is Hardaway and who is O'Neal?
He always felt that these media bastards were hinting at something!
Turkoglu also entered the locker room at this time. When he saw Li Wan, he patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Morning!"
He also saw the poster, but he was not angry.
With Li Wan's performance in the playoffs, and his performance in shooting down Luxurious Mengba in the Olympics, the Magic would be a fool not to regard him as the absolute core of the team.
Are the Magic's management stupid?
Silly!
But when there is no problem with the contract and the team's salary space, it is not so stupid...
For Turkoglu in the contract year, the decline in the status of the team was originally a matter of concern.
However, after such a long time in the training camp, Li Wan still gave him the right to organize and did not occupy the ball. This is a good thing for him.
As long as he has the ball, there is no need to worry about the data.
The data is good and the team's performance is good, so should he worry about his next contract?
So he doesn't care about the status of the team at all.
At the same time, he became more and more grateful to Li Wan.
From Turkoglu's point of view, Li Wan can completely occupy the ball and grasp both organizational and personal offenses.
If there are still physical concerns in the rookie season, then based on his observations this month, Li Wan's physical fitness is much better than before.
There is no such thing as organizing an offense with one hand and not having enough physical fitness.
Unless you invest in the defensive end at the same time, it may still not be enough...
But with regard to the configuration of the second and third positions, and a bunch of defensive "tools", Li Wan does not need to consume much physical energy on the defensive end.
There is no reason to affect Li Wanba's possession of the ball, but he just didn't occupy it...
between!
Refer teammates!
Is there a better teammate than Jie?
there is none left!
Absolutely no more...
Recently, Turkoglu often dreamed of how he disliked Li Wan when he first joined the team. He felt that his situation at that time was really small!
I have to learn more from Wango in the future.
Li Wan also didn't know his little thoughts.
otherwise……
Li Wan will not tell Turkoglu, what if he dominates the ball and causes the original championship-level lineup to be unable to exert its power?
Anyway, from his point of view, the organization right of the Magic is given to Turkoglu, which is a "quasi-champion" level team, plus he...
That is the finals level team!
It is hopeful to win the championship!
In the case of not worrying about the right to shoot, he actually doesn't care so much about the right to the ball...
As long as he is not such a "sharp row" position, even if he doesn't want to cause trouble, Turkoglu will definitely grab the ball.
Jesus couldn't even keep it.
Now in this way, the physical energy he saves on the organizational end can be used on the defensive end.
He, plus Lagabel, Michael - Pietrus, and Howard, now run out of defensive strength, he believes, will definitely make the entire league look sideways.
just wait!
This time the Magic is not just as simple as "shooting with one star".
Thank you, Regret, for your tireless reward.
1.The new season starts tomorrow!
