Chapter 141 A Little Snake
The time came to August 11.
Half a month into the new season.
Just like many media predicted before the start of the new season.
The Cleveland Cavaliers with "23" and the Los Angeles Lakers with "24" have shown strong momentum since the beginning of the season.
Although the defending champion lost Kwame Brown, the current starting No. [-] in the league's top defensive strength, Bynum returned from injury, allowing the Lakers to still have the most powerful "three highs" inside the league.
In 9 games, which also included a "back-to-back", the Lakers had the best start with 8 wins and 1 loss.
This result is even better than last year's!
Kwame Brown's departure obviously didn't have any impact. — At least not so far.
The slogan "The Lakers are the championship again" has also been shouted by the media in Los Angeles.
The Cavaliers, who have gone through a wave of great strengthening in the offseason, also lived up to expectations. The upgrade of the LeBron James system allowed the Cavaliers to have the best start to the season in the "Little Emperor Era"...
7 wins and 1 losses!
Le "Di" and Ke "Di" face each other across the shore, the situation where the king does not see the king, coupled with the "23vs24" wind blowing more and more violently, the scenario of the Cavaliers playing the Lakers seems to be true!
But at this moment, many media outlets in the league suddenly discovered that besides the light of the Lakers and the Cavaliers, there is a faint "star" shining more and more dazzlingly...
That is……
Orlando Magic!
A wave of three consecutive victories at the beginning, and a 29-point victory over the Thunder in the opening game, caused some movement, but compared to "23vs24", there are really not many.
Then the number of consecutive victories in the opening game came to 5 consecutive victories, becoming the only team among the 30 NBA teams that has not tasted a loss so far in the new season, and the attention suddenly increased.
Immediately after...
Six straight wins!
Seven consecutive victories!
Eight straight wins!
It's been half a month since the start of the new season, and they're still winning streak...
Now, the attention of many media had to shift to them.
"23vs24" is a good book...
But the magic team is so strong, there is really no way to ignore it!
It was also at this time that the media suddenly discovered that Howard and Li Wan of the Magic had grown into top stars in their respective positions.
Let's talk about Howard first, the average of 22.1 points and 13.2 rebounds per game has not changed much from last season, but the average of blocks per game has quietly increased from 2.1 per game to 3.1 per game!
Although blocks and steals are sometimes deceptive, there are still times when they are convincing...
It can be seen from the game that Howard has really entered his peak period. The protection of the basket and the defense of his teammates are more comprehensive and timely than last season.
Speaking of the two points...
Dwight Howard officially launched an impact on the "Best Defender" award!
再说李万,赛季刚刚开始第二场比赛,便单场拿下了36分,现在8场比赛打完,他的场均数据是21.3分5.2篮板7.2助攻1.2抢断1盖帽,相比上赛季结束后的场均19.6分4.3篮板6.9助攻1抢断0.8盖帽,整体全面上涨。
However, the biggest increase in...
It's his field goal percentage...
Compared with last season's 41.3% field goal percentage per game, 39.8% three-point field goal percentage per game, and 84.5% free throw percentage per game.
So far, Li Wan has averaged 45.5% field goal percentage, 42.3% three-point field goal percentage, and 88.45% free throw percentage per game.
How exaggerated is this data...
Let's put it this way, so far in the new season, Kobe has averaged 47.1% field goal percentage, 35.1% three-point field goal percentage, and 85.4% free throw percentage per game...
LeBron James is shooting 48.9 percent from the field, 34.4 percent from three-point range, and 78 percent from the free-throw line...
No. 23 and No. 24 of the finals have been "reserved". Compared with Li Wan, there is no obvious advantage in shooting percentage.
Although there are still "point-cutting shows" with more than ten points in a single quarter, in terms of overall state, in the 8 games, Li Wanyi has almost never been in a downturn all night.
His ability to adjust is getting better and better.
"I have always been a steady player, maintaining a stable performance is what I have always been doing..."
Of course, even though they were all aware of this, the reporters standing in front of him couldn’t help but complain silently when they heard Li Wan say that he was a “steady player”:
steady?
Does this word have anything to do with your "nervous knife"?
Li Wan looked at their "believing" eyes, and was very satisfied: "Obviously you think so too..."
The reporters laughed.
People in America love dry humor...
Although Li Wan has already adapted to this way of speaking, he can't help but say in his heart: Is this funny?
"Okay, let's talk about something I'm not that interested in..."
Li Wan glanced at the time, it was almost time to end the interview, he motioned the reporters to ask the questions they really wanted to ask.
"This is your first return to Los Angeles since the trade, Lee, do you have any expectations for tomorrow's game?"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a reporter eagerly asking questions.
Li Wan smiled: "My expectation, I think you have already analyzed it very comprehensively for me, it's hard for me to have any other expectations..."
There was another burst of laughter at this statement.
As early as a week before the start of this game, many media people have indeed been paying attention to the arrival of the game between the Lakers and the Magic.
It also analyzed Li Wan's various behaviors in slices.
When Li Wan performed well in the game, they would say "adjust to the best condition, Los Angeles, are you ready?"
If Li Wan leaves the game early, they will say, "To save energy for the Lakers, Li Wan clocks off work in three quarters, he really wants revenge..."
Even the fact that Li Wan did not return to his apartment in Los Angeles this time was interpreted by many media as...
Throw out distracting thoughts and save your strength to beat the Lakers.
Even if they know that Taylor is not in Los Angeles at all, but has returned to the company headquarters in New York to finalize the release of the album, Li Wan can't do much when he goes back.
But they still read too much...
It's no wonder that since the Lakers won the championship, the attitude of some media in Los Angeles has indeed changed a bit too much. When there was no report in the summer, they often analyzed Li Wan's deal twice, and finally came up with a "this deal Very successful" conclusion.
After the new season, there are various analyzes of the Lakers' prospects for defending the title and the possibility of building a "Lakers Dynasty".
With Li Wan's temper, this tone is definitely unbearable.
The first and only chance to return to Staples in the new season, can he not grasp it?
If he is not sure, he is not Li Wan!
The media guessed right, Li Wan did have the idea of doing a big job in tomorrow's game, and even...
"Tell Kobe, don't cry when he loses, the crown falls on the ground, but you can't pick it up..."
Li Wan officially declares war!
The eyes of these reporters lit up.
You can add oil and vinegar...
About 20 minutes later, when the interview with Li Wan was over, they rushed to the Toyota Center in a hurry. When Kobe heard Li Wan's declaration of war, he snorted disdainfully: "Then he can try, can you make me bow my head?" ..."
In this reply, the smell of gunpowder came up immediately.
A reporter struck while the iron was hot: "Will you defend him personally tomorrow? Like in the Olympic Games..." He stuttered, because when he mentioned the "Olympic Games", Kobe's cold eyes glanced at him instantly. When he came over, he was just a small reporter. He had never seen this before, but he still bit the bullet and finished his question.
"Then let's see if he has the ability to let me switch defenses..."
Is there, don't you know?
Didn't the last lore of the Olympic Games be thrown in front of you...
Two reporters murmured in their hearts, but they dared not speak out.
The two of them talked harshly to each other in the air, which ignited the audience's enthusiasm for watching, but also made many Lakers fans feel mixed feelings.Compared with the media, the loyalty of the fans is undoubtedly much higher, and the time of nostalgia is longer.
Just like my fire remnants, it's 2202, and there are still a lot of them!
For Li Wan, who returned to the Staples Center for the first time after the trade, even if he is no longer wearing the Zijin Lakers jersey, but the Orlando Magic uniform, they can boo Li Wan , I can't shush more or less.
The boos eventually turned into cheers.
Li Wan looked at the enthusiastic Lakers fans, not to mention, he really remembered the days when Kobe called him "Pippen"...
Kupchak also came to the scene, and he was very grateful to Li Wan.
The phrase "active transaction" helped him solve a lot of trouble.
Anyway, without the big boss saying a word, Li Wan put him in the best situation at that time.
Originally, he planned to make a tribute video to Li Wan, but unfortunately, the big boss rejected it. He paid tribute after only playing for half a season with the Lakers. Does Zijin Dynasty lose face?
Kupchak only came to the scene by himself to show his attitude.
I will always remember your kindness!
Li Wan shook hands with him, and soon, with the arrival of the Lakers' home ceremony, Kobe came out amidst overwhelming cheers, and met Li Wan's eyes.
"Jordan" and "Pippen" of the Lakers officially met tonight as opponents on the court...
what?
You said the Olympics?
Does the Olympics count?
It's all between countries...
Have you heard of Basketball Without Borders?
Besides, their careers are NBA players, and this is their real battlefield.
No matter how well you played in the Olympics...
Isn't Barkley still unable to get tough because there is no NBA championship?
What Li Wan didn't expect was that Kobe even came to say hello to him.
He didn't say anything, just slapped a newspaper on his chest, and left...
Li Wan picked it up and saw that it was the newspaper he had sent to Kobe. Kobe had crossed out his line, and it became: You're welcome, Pippen, this is what a big brother should do.
Ah……
Li Wan made him laugh.
So, this Kobe is really stingy, and he is holding back his strength to pay back such a little prank.
He didn't look any further, and threw it to the eager reporters on the sidelines.
This group of people scrambled for a ball, finally caught it, and shot it with a "click click"...
Isn't this the tidbit that fans love to watch!
Afterwards, Li Wan greeted Odom and others, and even the two Phils ran over and chatted with him.
Kenny Smith in the TNT studio couldn't help but said: "To be honest, changing Li Wan's jersey to the Lakers' jersey is really not against the peace at all."
Compared with Li Wan, the Magic team is obviously not so enthusiastic about Nelson Jr.
Even Stan Van Gundy, who once loved Nelson the most, just nodded towards him.
Little Nelson looked puzzled at the teacher who once loved him the most. He called Stan Van Gundy several times in the summer, but they didn't get through. It took a long time for Stan Van Gundy to reply him with two words:
Busy!
This……
Little Nelson was very sad. He felt that his teacher was avoiding him.
Stan Van Gundy doesn't know how to explain it, Nelson Jr. is undoubtedly great, but Li Wan is not just great, he is really kind of, very special...
In short, now Stan Van Gundy only has Li Wan in his eyes, and he didn't answer the phone because he wanted to tell Little Nelson...
Don't call me in the future, I'm afraid Li Wan will misunderstand.
"...Today, the prize we are giving out is Li Wan's No. 23 Magic jersey. Send a text message A or B to choose the team you support. A represents the home team, B represents the visiting team. One spectator will get a rare jersey in the festival game!"
In the CCTV-5 studio, after Yu Jia read the oral broadcast, he looked at the two commentators next to him. They were still Director Zhang and Su Qun who were very familiar to the audience.
Today's focus battle will naturally be broadcast live in China.
Director Zhang Yu Jia immediately rubbed his hands impatiently after he finished reading the manuscript: "Today, the game was so good..."
Li Wan vs. Kobe.
And the overall strength of the Magic and the Lakers is also very strong.
One didn't lose a game, and the other only lost a game...
This is bound to be a wonderful game!
Director Zhang's analysis is also more "literary nonsense" than usual...
How much "nonsense literature" is it...
After more than 1 minute of analysis, he ended like this: "So, I think tonight, anyone can win..."
In his sound of analysis, the game officially started.
lineup on both sides;
Lakers: Nelson Jr. at No. [-], Kobe Bryant at No. [-], Ariza at No. [-], Pau Gasol at No. [-], Bynum at No. [-];
Magic: Li Wan at No. [-], Raja Bell at No. [-], Turkoglu at No. [-], Lewis at No. [-], Howard at No. [-];
"Dude, just shoot today, I'm on the inside, don't worry!"
Howard slapped Li Wan's chest before going on the field.
Yesterday, the league announced the latest week's "Player of the Week Award", and the name of "Dwight Howard" was impressively written on the Eastern side.
Li Wan was on the candidate list, but in the end he couldn't compete with him...
"Warcraft" is very happy to be affirmed by the league. The little gap between him and Li Wan, at least tonight's game against the Lakers, will definitely not exist.
It's just that Howard, who had patted his chest, failed to grab the first strike.
There are billions of embarrassments~
Nelson Jr. gave the ball to Kobe in the frontcourt.
Kobe faced Raja Bell, accelerated his breakthrough after three threats, and went straight to the penalty area.
Among the many "Kobe Terminator", Raja Bell is considered a "unique skill brother", but when he didn't use the "unique skill", he just gave a push and watched Kobe rush past him.
Powerless.
Although they have not played together for a full season, Gasol, who is like-minded, quickly pulled to the middle distance to make room for Kobe.
Howard comes to help, but Bryant jumps up, brushes past him, and dunks.
From a visual point of view, this is equivalent to a slam dunk!
"Warcraft" obviously hesitated.
As a result, no interference was given.
Don't blame him, everyone has the moment when the "shadow of childhood" breaks out.
There were cheers everywhere, including Kenny Smith and Barkley in the TNT studio, who were surprised to the point of pain because of the dunk.
"It seems that Kobe is very excited tonight!"
How long has Kobe not played like this?
Tonight's opening, people can't help but think of him when he was still "Peter Pan".
"I heard you like dunking very much now?"
Kobe looked at Li Wan provocatively.
That expression seemed to say: Then you try it now and give me a response!
So, having such a vengeful "predecessor" is really a kind of torture.
I have told others everywhere, do you have small hands?
what?
Howard serves to Li Wan.
Phil Jackson and Phil Handy looked at Li Wan seriously, er, well, serious ass, but looking forward...
When you greeted Li Wan just now, do you know what they said?
"Your physical fitness has become stronger now?"
"Be serious tonight, fight hard, and show us later, your progress..."
……
Take a look, is this what a normal enemy coach can say?
This game may have been rumored outside, and Kobe took it seriously, but for the two Phils, this is an ordinary regular season.
If you win, you won't be awarded the championship trophy directly...
I don't know what everyone is excited about!
Therefore, when Li Wan passed by them, he rolled his eyes unceremoniously.
After halftime, he refocused on the game.
Little Nelson looked at him nervously, subconsciously raised his trouser legs.
Li Wan: ...
Is it because this group of bad defenders likes to do this?
Pretending to be serious about defense?
Lowering his center of gravity, Li Wan rushed past Little Nelson without even changing his rhythm.
Sure enough, I can't prevent it!
Little Nelson's expression of "I tried my best" made Kobe speechless.
fortunately……
There is Bynum under the basket.
When Li Wan rushed inside, Howard immediately made room for him under the basket.
It's just that in the eyes of "Little Shark", Howard didn't run out along the bottom line at all, but was fully focused on waiting for Li Wan to rush inside.
As for that "Warcraft", does he have the ability to shoot?
stop talking...
But at this moment, Li Wan really passed the ball.
Howard took it and made a shot with a very stiff posture.
Buckley looked at this gesture and was almost amused.
So ugly!
Grandma O'Neal's shooting posture is better than this, right?
"Dangdang!"
Facts have proved that Howard still has to practice the zero-degree middle distance.
But his shot did scare Bynum, a swoop out of the paint.
Pau Gasol, who guards against Lewis, quickly returns to the defense.
The "considerate" side is undoubtedly revealed.
Li Wan competed with Kobe at the basket first.
"Snapped!"
The first to grab the rebound was Li Wan.
Seeing that Kobe didn't protect the rebound, he immediately put his whole body on it, preventing Li Wan from making the next move easily.
Especially the trash talk...
But Li Wan's explosive power is not what it used to be. When Kobe posted it, Li Wan had already charged up his legs and jumped up on the spot.
"Bah!"
The sound of dunks sounded above Kobe's head.
"Hey, Li Wan dunked Kobe at the basket!"
The cctv-5 studio exploded immediately.
Everyone was so excited that their expressions changed significantly.
The Staples Center also subconsciously let out a burst of shouting... No, Li Wan is wearing a Magic jersey, and it is our number 24!
Wake up, you nostalgic party!
It's 2008...
Don't leave this "Li Wan" alone.
"You saw it too, please correct me, don't need to hear it, it's true!"
Li Wan patted Kobe, who looked a little dazed, and returned to defense in a "jet" low-altitude flight posture, celebrating this insignificant buckle by the way.
League No. 1?
number 24?
black Mamba?
snort!
A little snake, if you say buckle it, you will buckle it!
Li Wan's button was replayed on the big screen at the scene.
It can be clearly seen that Kobe underestimated Li Wan's second take-off speed. When he pressed up, Li Wan had actually completed charging. Before the two of them had contact, Li Wan had already "857" on Kobe's head. .
"This guy's current body..."
Phil Handy couldn't help but sigh.
He really wanted to study Li Wan's body.
It's a pity that I don't have this chance...
Or jump to the Magic?
Odom on the bench was also stunned.
OMG!
my Lord!
Is my "little brother" so fierce now?
Kobe's expression completely switched to the "Black Mamba" mode.
After asking for the ball, he made a sharp operation and drove the ball into the basket again.
4-2!
then……
"My God, is Kobe going to defend Li Wan by himself?" Kenny Smith shouted.
He was a little surprised, but thinking about Kobe, he didn't think it was such a surprise...
"Come on, boy!"
Kobe stared straight at Li Wan with fighting intent in his eyes.
Li Wan let out a "huh".
"Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
After speaking, he gave the ball to Turkoglu on the wing.It doesn't mean to single out Kobe at all.
Ariza, who had won the title of "Rattlesnake" in advance, resisted and took two steps back...
He is not very good at defending such a large tonnage flank...
Including in the finals of last season, Kobe was also the main defense, and his defense method of assisting defense limited Paul Pierce.
And when Ariza's contract expired, the reason why the Lakers gave up on him was that he couldn't stand Pierce and replaced him with Artest.
Of course, one of the main reasons why his agent failed to renew the contract was that his agent was constantly arguing with Kupchak to increase the total amount of the contract renewal as much as possible.
Kobe played this game extremely strong from the beginning.
This seems to be in line with Kobe's personality, he is such a paranoid person!
But this is him from before, Li Wan knows very well...
After the arrival of Pau Gasol, Kobe's playing style became much more reasonable. The biggest change: He couldn't play so fiercely when he came up, and he would keep his physical fitness until the critical moment to stand up and solve the game.
Especially after winning the championship now, it is even more impossible to do like tonight.
Pau Gasol's large amount of support with the ball is the norm for this "two consecutive championships" Lakers.
and so……
Li Wan knew very well that Kobe wanted to get himself into a 1v1 situation with him.
As for why this is done, we can know from the reverse deduction of this result.If Li Wan does not play alone, then the ball holder will become Turkoglu.
Kobe wants him to play singles, which naturally means that he doesn't want Turkoglu to play singles.
because……
Ariza can't handle it!
"Dangdang!"
"Bah!"
What happened next quickly proved this point.
Turkoglu carried Ariza on his back and broke into the inside line smoothly. It was a good shot opportunity. Unfortunately, the ball missed, but Howard successfully made a dunk to complete the second attack.
The entire offense of the Magic can be said to be devastating, and Ariza retreated so fast that Paul Gasol is still considering whether to return to the inside to supplement the defense.
4-4!
"Kobe, you almost succeeded, but unfortunately you were dunked by me, which made me feel very unchallenging..."
He smiled and watched his teammates complete the goal, and by the way stimulated Kobe standing in front of him with a more gloomy expression.
Seeing this scene, Raja Bell next to him kept swallowing his saliva.
Brother!
Can you stop irritating him?
You don't have to defend him, do you?
But what he didn't expect was that Kobe didn't take the initiative to catch the ball in the next round. Nelson Jr. took the ball to the front court, and Pau Gasol stood in the high position in time. When he caught the ball, Ariza and Kobe were on the other side Bryant's flank crossed and ran back, and Kobe dropped low to attract the defense.
Ariza, who ran out of space, also caught the ball at this time and made a smooth shot.
"Shh!"
Three points scored!
A typical "triangle offense".
Pau Gasol in the high post forms a big triangle with Kobe and Ariza on the other side.
If Bryant drops low and doesn't attract the defense, he'll get a 1-on-1 opportunity to bully Raja Bell with a deft post-up.
But if it attracts the defense, then Ariza will be able to get an open shot.
At this time, Ariza's receiving priority is also above Kobe.
Because he is in the "1v0" that he most wants to see in the "triangle offense" running position.
To put it bluntly, although the "triangle tactic" is a "superstar singles tactic", it is also a "superstar containment tactic".
When they attract the defense, the other points that form the triangle with them are bound to be open.
Stan Van Gundy didn't say anything, and it was eerily quiet tonight.
Tyronn Lue, who wanted to become a "champion coach", glanced at Stan Van Gundy curiously, but found that he didn't know what to record there.
He tried reaching for his neck, but still couldn't see anything.
At this moment, he suddenly became envious of "Neck Ten".
Tyronn Lue also did not expect that a short neck would actually become an obstacle to the "Road to a Famous Marshal".
Stan Van Gundy is remembering...
nothing else!
It is just some of the problems that the Magic have encountered so far when they have encountered the Lakers, and some adjustments.
For these players, this is a stage to show themselves, to revenge, to revenge.
But for him as the head coach, it is the best opportunity to collect intelligence.
Everything about the regular season is about adjustments...
He believed that Phil Jackson, who had his hands in his trouser pockets across the way, thought so too.
In addition...
If he knew that the "KFC old man" likes to pretend so much, he would definitely not go to KFC to buy hamburgers.
On the field, Turkoglu made a three-pointer with a welcome shot.
Ariza watched the ball fall into the net pocket, shook his head slightly, very helpless.
Compared with his defensive ability, his defensive ability against the striker is really not very good.
Phil Jackson just looked at it, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking-should I let Jenny wear a "stepmother skirt" or a hip-wrapped skirt tonight?
The first half of the game ended quickly, and the two sides almost didn't call a timeout, so the players were free to play.
The score was 54-50.
The Lakers at home are the leading side.
However, their leading score was not made by the starting lineup, but by Odom on the bench with Jordan Farmar and the others.
Odom, who became the team's sixth man last season, showed good adaptability.
This season, he is fully familiar with the bench, and his performance is getting better and better. After 9 games, he averaged 12.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game.
He, together with Nelson Jr., who was used to connect the firepower in the starting lineup, formed the Lakers' ferocious bench firepower.
Compared with them, the Magic's bench does not have such a point that can grab points.
so that...
In the first half of the substitute rotation stage, the Magic lost by almost 7 points.
It's not a problem Stan Van Gundy can solve.
Speaking of which, it can also be seen from here that the Magic really lack ball holders.
Even now, there are only two ball-holding points, Turkoglu and Li Wan...
And the two of them are the two indispensable links of "One Star Four Shooting".
It is simply impossible to continue playing during the substitute rotation like Nelson Jr. did. ——Even without Nelson, the Lakers can hold the ball on the court, Kobe and Gasol, and even Bynum can hold the ball and pose a threat.
Of course, this problem cannot be solved in this game.
Van Gundy had to solve the problems he could solve first.
Howard scored only 9 points in the first half, shooting 8 of 4 from the field.
Compared with his usual hit rate, it is about 15% lower, or even more.
Clearly, he was in trouble.
Bynum's top defense and Pau Gasol's help defense made him uncomfortable...
There must be another person to share his pressure on the inside!
Van Gundy looked to Kwame Brown.
I have an idea in my heart.
There is another problem, which is to chase points as soon as possible. This problem, it can be solved...
He looked at Li Wan...
Give the ball to Li Wan!
At the same time, Tyronn Lue was also thinking silently in his heart.
He had just analyzed the problem from the perspective of the head coach, and he also felt that he had to recover the points first in the second half.
After all, there is Kobe on the opposite side.
It is still leading the score, and the pressure is not so great at the critical moment.
Who does the Magic rely on to chase points? Needless to say!
Tyronn Lue then noticed the glowing eyes of Stan Van Gundy looking at Li Wan.
Can't help but be delighted:
I got it right!
He felt that he was getting closer to the throne of head coach!
The second half began quickly, and Li Wanyi came up against Nelson's mid-range jumper, narrowing the point difference to 1 point.
"Ten points..." Yu Jia glanced at the statistics.
Su Qun muttered, "Li Wan's attack hasn't been done much today!"
Director Zhang also said: "Well, the same is true for the Lakers. A group of people played blindly, and Kobe couldn't get the ball all the time."
The Lakers counterattacked here.
Kobe holds the ball and hangs it into Gasol's hands.
"Sister-in-law" didn't move at all, watching Kobe cut without the ball and hit the ball back into his hands.With a body forward, Kobe made a layup.
Howard had already made up quickly, but when he reached out to shoot, he was still a step late.
Kobe's "not stingy with scoring" judgment on the offensive end is really too decisive, even if it is a fleeting opportunity, he can grasp it.
Of course, there are also reasons for Gasol's timely return.
When I didn't see Kobe returning to defense, he hugged his waist!
It can be seen how satisfied he is with Gasol's "handwork".
The point difference returned to 3 points, and the ball was still given to Li Wan.
Little Nelson was more serious about defending than just now, and he was no longer just carrying his trouser legs.
Now there are still small steps!
There is an attitude...
I can't prevent it, I really can't prevent it!
How tall is he!
The official data says 1 meters.
Actual height...
Such a height caused his weight to be only 91kg even if he is considered heavy among the same height.
Without Li Wangao, Li Wanzhong, and no explosive power, how do you let him defend?
"Little Broken Step" was stepping on happily, and Li Wan rushed past him again.
Kobe made up just in time.
As soon as Li Wan saw him, he pinned the ball behind his back and "passed the ball with his elbow" again.
Kobe was also deceived, and subconsciously chased to the other side.
Before the ball reached the position where he gave way, it was caught by Raja Bell who followed in, and he made a successful basket!
The "elbow pass" reappears, this time at Staples Center.
Watching the back defense on the big screen, there are only two words in the minds of Lakers fans: coquettish!
Director Zhang also let out a "huh": "This, this is interesting, this..." I heard that Li Wan played "Elbow Pass" before, and this time I saw it for the first time!
Although Stan Van Gundy had worries in his eyes, seeing Li Wan make two breakthroughs with the ball, the Magic scored both goals, and it finally showed that there was more, and he was gratified.
This is the biggest difference between Li Wan and Turkoglu.
Li Wan's ability to hold the ball to attract double-teams is too strong!
Turkoglu can hold the ball and break through, but his ability to attract double teams is really not enough compared to Li Wan.
The most important point is...
Li Wan's height and weight do not have an obvious advantage in the third position, but he has excellent vision and plays the first position!
This height and weight advantage made his breakthrough sharper.
The Lakers counterattacked, and the ball was given to Paul Gasol again.
Supported by the high position, the ball was given to Nelson Jr., who made a mid-range catch.
This is the key to Nelson Jr.'s ability to squeeze out Fisher's starting position.
Fisher's best catch and shoot happens to be what Nelson Jr. is also good at.
And better at it!
"Kwame, you go!"
Van Gundy watched Pau Gasol once again succeed in high position support, and immediately replaced Kwame Brown.
This guy can no longer be organized so comfortably in a high position.
When Bynum saw Kwame Brown playing, his eyes became brighter!
He also has expectations for this game.
He wants to compete with Kwame Brown to see who is more suitable for the fifth position of the Lakers...
As for why...
Naturally, because he was reimbursed last season, Kwame Brown won the championship with the team, and he still performed very well on the stage of the finals.
The smile of falling to the ground holding the backboard has become a classic picture of the NBA Finals!
Therefore, his departure has caused many concerns in the Los Angeles media: Will the Lakers' top defense at the basket encounter problems.
Bynum, whose mind is as small as his brain, was unhappy when he heard this. He said several times in front of the media, "With me, the Lakers will have no problems at the basket."
As a result, several media responded: You should stay healthy this season first.
Now he was even angrier.
As a result, although Bynum proved in 9 games that he can make up for Kwame Brown's vacancy, he can also provide the ability to hold the ball that he does not have.
But if he doesn't teach Kwame Brown a lesson on the court, he won't be reconciled...
He had been waiting for the opportunity in the first half, but unfortunately there was no such opportunity.
just now……
opportunity finally arises!
It's time for revenge!
Bynum's fighting spirit is even higher.
Pau Gasol is a little uncomfortable.
Kwame Brown switches to Bynum, and Howard follows up against the high post Pau Gasol.
You know, once Paul Gasol supports Howard, he has his back to Howard.
And this gesture opened a new door for Howard...
It's similar to the black silk that "accelerates attack speed".
Constantly pushing his hips, Pau Gasol couldn't stand still at all. Li Wan looked at Gasol's swaying delicate body, couldn't take care of himself, shot decisively, and slapped the ball away.
Along with Kwame Brown, Michael Pietrus.
He and Raja Bell took turns consuming Kobe in the first half, and now it's his turn again.
Li Wan poked the ball into his hand, he caught it and immediately dropped it.
Kobe followed behind him, but was surprised to find that...
I can't catch up with myself!
Huh~
What is "French Jordan"!
Do you really think this physical fitness is fake?
But just as he crossed the free throw line, Kobe thought he was going to score and was concentrating on him, but he hit the ball to the side, where No. 23 of the Magic picked up the ball and it was a "gliding dunk"!
how to say!
Li Wan originally thought that Raja Bell's EQ was good enough, but he didn't expect that Michael Pietrus was not inferior to him at all.
Spread out these two flanks...
He is so happy!
The point difference is officially overtaken by 1 point.
The Lakers tried again to get the ball into Pau Gasol's hands.
Unfortunately failed...
Facing Howard, Pau Gasol is obviously struggling!
It’s not surprising that Pau Gasol needs a top defensive partner no matter what top inside line he faces. In the international arena, it’s his younger brother, last year it was Kwame Brown, this year it’s Bynum...
Without them, if he were to face off against these powerful insiders, the result would be one word: Miserable!
He's not a powerful insider, he's just a delicate... "sister-in-law"!
Without his support, the Lakers' triangle position is somewhat deformed.
Seeing that the 24-second attack time was about to run out, Kobe caught the ball and pulled up the wing to make a three-pointer.
"Shh!"
"It has to be Kobe!" Director Zhang immediately regained his energy, "Let's watch the replay, oops, how difficult it is! It has to be Kobe, it's really amazing, if it's someone else, the ball will definitely be gone..."
The point difference once again turned into the Lakers leading.
There was also a burst of cheers immediately at the scene.
The game gradually became anxious, and the fans became more focused on the game.
Gradually forget that there is a player on the opposite side named Li...
"Bah!"
hiss!
Li Wan is amazing!
Just when the fans at the scene were immersed in Kobe's chasing points and were about to "forget" Li Wan, Li Wan suddenly called a pick-and-roll, rushed into the inside and dunked vigorously under the cover, making the Lakers fans immediately "recall" once.
The one on the opposite side...
It was Li Wan who once staged the "Nervous Knife Moment" at the Staples Center!
"The Lakers really have nothing to do with Li Wan!" Barkley couldn't help shaking his head seeing Li Wan rushing into the penalty area so easily and bombing the basket.
Thanks for the reward of Kongtaixi.
1 today.
