Chapter 108: Utah is too high

The Jazz exposed their problems during the bench rotation. – There is no good sixth man on the bench.

Later All-Star Millsap is now just a rookie who has just started his second season, averaging only 8.2 points per game and only one hand and a half volley, which makes it rare for the Lakers not to let the opponent pull too many points in the bench rotation stage.

Since Li Wan entered the starting lineup, the Lakers met the top four teams in the east and west, and it is normal for them to fall behind by four and a half points when starting the game.

At 3:14 in the second quarter of the game, when both sides switched to the starting lineup, the Lakers trailed by only 2 points, and the bench even recovered 1 point for them.

“Well done! ”

Kobe Bryant once again showed his “winning” side, high-fived his teammates one by one.

Elegant, easy-going and kind!

Delong Williams also maintained his form for the second half of the first quarter.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Li Wan completed a breakthrough layup and scored the ball.

Rubbing his aching chest, Li Wan finally understood why someone called Delon Williams “LeBron No. 1”.

This kind of tank-like collision is indeed not something that the No. 1 position can have.

“Rookie, see what? That’s the gap between you and me! ”

DeLong gestured first to the top of his head and then to his own knee.

“I’m here, and you’re only here! ”

Just during the break, he had been holding his breath and preparing trash talk, and he also prepared several, and as soon as he succeeded, he immediately sprayed out towards Li Wan.

Triumphant expression.

Li Wan smiled and shook his head: “Delong, do you know how many meters above sea level Utah?” 1340 meters! ”

“??? ”

Delong was made into a “Nick Yang” face by Li Wan’s cold words.

Why do you suddenly say that the altitude of Utah is up?

“This is not playing basketball and want to change careers to become a geography teacher? ”

Li Wan smiled, didn’t say anything, gave the ball to Kobe, and then quickly ran without the ball, Delong did not follow in the first time, Li Wan’s no-ball feint in the first quarter played him, he is still impressed, see that he really ran up, so he quickly followed.

However, slipping across the line allowed Kwame Brown to block it firmly.

Li Wan ran out of the empty position, the ball flew from Kobe’s hand, Li Wan, who held the ball, raised his hand to shoot, and Kirilenko, who was defended over, actually did not pounce.

After yesterday’s training match, Sloan specifically mentioned when explaining the tactics that after the Huaxia rookie runs and catches the ball without the ball, he likes to use a shooting feint to mobilize the opponent’s center of gravity first, and then start to break through…

Kirilenko is clearly a “top student”, and he takes the words of the old handsome to heart.

Li Wan, who noticed that he did not save forward, simply shot directly and scored 2 points.

Another month passed, and Li Wan’s mid-range shooting ability officially broke through the 70 mark and reached 71 points.

Now he is not disturbed, even if the shooting rhythm changes, it will not have much impact.

Moreover, Kirilenko was stunned for a moment, making sure that he had to shoot before he pounced, giving Li Wan time to adjust.

One more one…

The difference is 2 points, and Li Wan’s “strong heart” badge is lit up!

“fxxk! ”

Sloan cursed unsurprisingly.

“What are you hesitating about? ”

Kirilenko is very aggrieved, obviously that’s what you said, the Chinese newcomer may fake the real sudden, don’t rush forward too ruthlessly, or jump.

And now again…

Wow, old man’s mouth!

Delong once again held the ball strongly, Li Wan was never a passive beaten person standing in place, quickly shouted for a bag, this time it was Delong, who entered the state, he has been paying attention to Boozer’s movements, and the Lakers side of the bag, he gave the ball to Boozer.

Odom followed out to defend Oku.

Boozer singled out Kwame Brown and picked the basket.

“fxxk you! ”

Kwame Brown cursed.

“Anti-bone boy” looked confused, you scored a goal, scolding is okay, why did I score a goal, you still scold!

This should be my celebratory “time”!

Delong stared at Li Wan, what this rookie said just now, he didn’t understand what it meant for a long time, and he was embarrassed to ask, so he could only wait so blankly.

*!

I hate this kind of half-talking!

The Lakers continued to give the ball to Kobe, Li Wan continued to run without the ball, just easily got rid of DeLong’s him, this time continuous reverse running, once again threw DeLong away.

Peak Delong, in the offensive end with Boozer, Li Wan really can’t limit his play, even if he calls his brother, it is only barely a little interference.

Phil Jackson was well aware of this, so he took a different approach.

Li Wan made Delong so annoying, this guy definitely doesn’t want to see Li Wan score, so let him spend some energy on the defensive end!

Like most “heavy defenders,” DeLong’s footsteps on the defensive end are problematic.

More importantly, Jerry Sloan’s UCLA system spoils him to the point where he can spill over the defensive stuff to someone else.

It’s like… Kirilenko.

Can……

That’s in the face of other people!

In the face of Li Wan, a hateful rookie, he really didn’t want to see this guy score!

However, Li Wanwuqiu’s moving footsteps are obviously much better than him.

For the first time, he could still say that he didn’t notice the sudden change of play on the other side, and this time he was thrown away so easily, Delong’s face began to burn.

Watching Li Wan once again take the ball outside the three-point line, he turned around and was about to shoot.

Delong was anxious, and he didn’t know where the force came from, and the whole person pounced.

“Bang dang” sound!

Li Wan missed the projection, looking at Delong, who was in a hurry, he smiled: “Don’t worry, this is also very difficult for me!” ”

Delong:……

No!

You didn’t put it in, you can pretend to compare, right?

And also……

You just said what the altitude is for, but you continue to say ah!

Curiosity dies of Delong.

Oku protected the rebound, but his slow ball protection action allowed Kobe, who was incarnated as the “old six”, to find an opportunity and slap it down.

Kwame Brown grabbed the ball.

Bryant couldn’t believe that Kwame Brown could actually hold the ball!

It was even harder for him to believe that the first person this man looked for after taking the ball was actually Li Wan?

WTF!

How long has he been with you?

Don’t remember the encouragement I gave you?

In order to take care of your fragile heart, I scold you for being quieter than anyone else!

This rookie has only been here for a few months?

In the incomprehensible gaze of “Mamba”, Li Wankong cut to cause Oku’s foul.

Oku was annoyed that this ball was not something he wanted to block, but when Li Wan rushed in, his steps were too slow to jump.

Li Wan asked with his eyes: Now, do you know how miserable it is to be targeted for slow steps?

Oku is actually slow, but he has a three-point move to Yao Ming.

This shows how important it is for the center to score three points!

The on-site invective was heaven-shattering, and the audience had firepower all the time, which is the characteristic of Salt Lake City’s “Devil’s Home”.

Utah is a depressed city, and the fans seem to want to vent their dissatisfaction before entering the stadium.

Li Wan hit both free throws in the noise, and glanced at Delong in the retreat.

Delong’s eyes were filled with expectation, do you want to say? Are you going to say it?

Scold me!

Scold me!

Forehead……

In order to know why Li Wan said the altitude of Utah, Delong went crazy…

But Li Wan still only smiled faintly, waiting for him to attack again with the ball.

What’s it!

Cursing secretly in his heart, Delong broke through the ball to Kirilenko on the outside, and the “AK47” finally rushed once, and put the ball into the basket with his long arm.

Really put!

It’s the kind of shot that can obviously be buttoned, but insists on gently putting down…

The long arm is fully extended, really a “gibbon”.

Li Wan felt that Kirilenko could usually walk with two hands!

Take the ball in the backcourt, switch attack and defense on both sides, Kobe Bryant in the front court once again arced the ball at the top, he accidentally hit one, “bang”, the ball bounced into Oku’s hand, this time he learned to behave, and held the ball in his arms with both hands.

The Jazz’s counterattack opportunity, DeLong’s speed of advancement is particularly fast, the Lakers still block his attack on the outside, slightly stabilized a hand, Boozer cut in, DeLong gave the ball slowly, and the two people made a mistake.

Sloan scolded again.

Such a good opportunity to fight back was actually wasted.

Delon pulled his jersey with an irritated expression.

No……

What the hell is he going to say!

What answered him was Li Wan’s running back, Kobe Bryant this time came a sudden straight ball, Li Wan just entered the inside line, put the ball into the basket precisely.

“Black Mamba” has the ability to pass, but it depends on whether he wants to pass or not.

Again, he’s really not a good organizer.

Good No. 1 got the ball, the first thought was to observe the position of his teammates, and Kobe’s first thought was to let me put this damn ball in the basket…

6 points!

Three minutes into the second quarter, before he knew it, Li Wan had cut 6 points, averaging 2 points in 1 minute.

This efficiency…

Letting him run without the ball is obviously a good idea.

The Jazz didn’t expect Li Wan to suddenly play without the ball…

After all, this guy has been the Lakers’ chief point guard since entering December, and the ability he showed without the ball in the first month has gradually been forgotten.

Now Leng Buding takes it out, the killing caused is a bit big!

Sloan quickly called a timeout.

Now the best way is to change someone to defend Li Wan, Delong really can’t keep up.

But at this time, change people and defense…

Sloan glanced at Delong’s expression, this little fat man really didn’t want to.

“Fight more double blocks! ”

Sloan thought about it, then ensure the efficiency on the offensive end first.

Speaking of which, the Lakers don’t have Bynum tonight, and the Jazz should have the advantage on the inside, but they didn’t put too many tactical endpoints on the inside.

There are many reasons for this…

Among them, the most important thing is that Delong wants to prove his ability in this game, not a rookie like Li Wan can touch porcelain!

This is tantamount to saying that from the beginning…

The Jazz are in the set!

However, the adjustment still had an effect, Delong and Boozer worked more resolutely, a classic block down, Boozer put a basket to complete the score.

Unknowingly, Boozer’s score in this game has reached double digits.

He wanted to get Delong to give a high five, and this assist was beautiful.

But Delong’s gaze had long followed Li Wan.

You suddenly say the altitude of Utah, what the hell do you want to do!

Delong followed very closely, and Li Wan, who noticed this, immediately hung up the fifth gear and rushed up, Delong followed behind him, his expression was so single-minded.

At this moment, Delong’s eyes only left Li Wan’s back!

Well?

How is this back getting closer?

Well?

How did he turn around and jump.

Got the ball?

I*!

“Phew! ”

“Toot! ”

In the collision, Li Wan raised his hand indiscriminately, and was judged by the referee to be a shot, even if the ball deflected to 108,000 miles, it still gave him two free throws.

The fans immediately stopped working!

Impulsively threw a bottle of mineral water, and then was invited out by at least 3 spectators!

But I didn’t expect that the referee on duty was also a violent temper, and added Delong’s foul and escalated it to a malicious foul.

Delong was a little confused, I didn’t say a word!

Referee: You didn’t say it, but you have more than 10,000 mouths!

Anyway, he sentenced!

At that time, that hit Li Wan directly to the ground, really want to be sentenced to a technical foul, there is no problem.

Just now, the referee still gave the home whistle, which is an ordinary foul.

25 thousand knives, just flew like that.

Delong looked at the “ancestors” who were still chattering, and couldn’t help but cry in his heart: Having you is my blessing!

He was also really convinced!

“How many points? ”

“8 points! ”

“It’s coming, right? ”

“It should be coming! ”

“Looking forward to it? ”

“I’m looking forward to it! ”

This happened on the Lakers bench, between two Phils, an unpretentious conversation.

Li Wan scored continuously, and the frequency is getting faster and faster, in their opinion, this is the trend to send “nerves”!

Since Li Wan entered the starting lineup, he has sent fewer and fewer “nerves”, but this is understandable, after all, he has so much to do that he can no longer just focus on scoring.

Physical fitness is a problem in itself…

Therefore, they are not disappointed either.

But……

When Li Wan showed signs of “nerves”, they were still looking forward to it.

The scoring show of Huaxia newcomers can’t be seen enough.

“Ugh! ”

“Ugh! ”

Two free throws hit steadily, or the Lakers possession of the ball, half-court serve.

Li Wan stepped on small broken steps, Delong looked at his appearance, and he couldn’t judge for a while.

Kobe actively moved to ask for the ball, and after taking the ball, he stepped past Kirilenko, who was clinging to him.

The ball was also too ambitious for the “AK47”, and when Odom served, he suddenly felt that he could break the ball.

The result of the rash was that Kobe Bryant broke through easily.

Delong was the closest person to Kobe, and he didn’t move after hesitating, 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’s hand rose and fell, and he scored three points…

11 points!

11 points!

“Huaxia newcomer, this is soaring? ”

Jerry Sloan listened to the almost nonsense exclamation of the assistant teacher next to him, and his weather-beaten face was also a little moved, and his eyes with obvious bags and deep sunken eye sockets couldn’t help but narrow.

Watching this little newcomer play on the sidelines for the first time was a bit shocking.

He wasn’t a rookie guy, and even DeLong Williams played nearly 40 games off the bench in his first season.

This is not only him, Phil Jackson, Larry Brown are the same.

Larry Brown’s problem is the most serious.

However, now, looking at the spirited Li Wan on the field, he probably understood why Phil Jackson trusted Li Wan so much.

Such a performance cannot be invisible to even the most rigid manager.

This guy…

11 points?

Delong also noticed after this time that Li Wan’s score had unknowingly surpassed him.

“Come on, let’s prevent this group of bitches on the other side! ”

“Right away there is a 10-point advantage! ”

Li Wan shouted back to defense, his expression open, stimulating the Jews on the sidelines.

Boos still filled the arena, but it was obvious that the guys’ confidence was no longer enough.

“Wow… Plum! ”

In a hotel in Memphis, Mike Conley was watching the game, and when he saw this time, he couldn’t help shaking his head and looking at the strong man next to him.

The strong man’s dark skin, like the bark of an ancient tree, is none other than Greg Auden.

Tomorrow, January 1, 2008, the Blazers take on Memphis away, the two of them finished eating, there was nothing to do in Memphis, remembering that there was a Li Wan game tonight, so they returned to the hotel.

Just saw Li Wan start to score …

Mike Conley looked at Auden, and Auden was also looking at Conley, and after looking at each other for several seconds, Conley spoke first: “Lee really sacrificed too much in college!” ”

Right now……

After seeing Li Wan’s increasingly frequent crazy performances, he believed that Li Wan was originally very strong and was just sacrificing for the team.

This point of view is not only his own, but also raised by many media.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why he can improve so much in half a year!

In addition, the point that he began to play basketball since his third year of high school has also been repeatedly mentioned by the media.

In short, Li Wan’s performance is too different from the NCAA, first of all, excluding his soaring strength in this half a year, then there are only two possibilities: first, Li Wan is a genius; Second, Li Wan sacrificed too many personal roles for the Ohio team to win the championship.

Although the second point is difficult to understand, it can only be understood so now.

Li Wan thus received another batch of tears from Ohio.

“Li, what a good brother of ours! ”

In Auden’s exclamation, Li Wan broke through again to create a kill and win two free throws.

As Li Wan kept scoring and the whistle kept blowing, the Jazz were also a little confused.

Don’t stretch your hand when it’s time to stretch out, and stretch your hand straight when you shouldn’t.

With only the final 30 seconds left in the second quarter, these two free throws were made to bring Li Wan’s single-quarter score to 13 points and the Lakers’ lead to 10 points.

Li Wan and his teammates exchanged high-fives, walked towards the free throw line, passed by Delong, learned his appearance just now, gestured to the position above his head, put it on his chest, and said in his mouth: “You think you are here, but in fact you are here…”

“You think I’m here…”

He stretched out his other hand, bent over and gestured to his knees, then raised his hand to his chest as well, but slightly above the level of the other hand.

“But I’m actually here! ”

Then he walked to the free throw line and calmly scored these two free throws.

Individual score 13 points in a single quarter!

The Lakers’ leading point difference is officially 10 points!

Delong’s trash talk sounded in Delong’s ears again, exactly the second half he had been wondering:

“Utah is so high! ”

“Man, you’ve been in the plateau for too long…”

“If you look down, you’ll see that rookies are climbing up much faster than you think! ”

The second one is more, 5,000 words, and today the same 10,000 2 update.

End of December.

Next is ’08!
