MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 50 The battle of the nerve knives

Dare to cast like this is naturally the "Nerve Knife" badge lit up.

Two consecutive three-pointers, the difference came to more than double digits, obviously stunned the Magic team. Van Gundy had to call another timeout. It's just that the suspension this time was the same as the one in the third quarter, and it didn't have any effect. Kobe returned to the court and played all kinds of singles with the ball. The Magic team was powerless, and finally they fell in the Staples Arena.

108 to 96, the Lakers won by 12 points.

Before the "small ball era" has completely arrived, this point difference is still quite large. Some media with exaggerated headlines will even use the adjective "big victory" in the case of such a score difference.

Kobe is happy.

Not just because he had 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Also because they beat the Magic.

Before this game, the Magic had lost a game, and they are currently tied for the first place in the Eastern Conference. They are one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference. They were able to take two fouls in the first quarter and beat him without playing much. Such a team is enough to show the strength of the current Lakers lineup.

He finally has a helping hand and doesn't have to go it alone like he did in the previous two seasons.

Li Wan eventually scored 16 points, and after two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, he barely scored.

Although he only played about 20 minutes in this game, he was always on the court from more than 5 minutes in the third quarter to 7 or 8 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Not to mention that he has been responsible for organizing and attacking for a long time, and his physical fitness has some problems in the latter point. Phil Jackson also replaced him more than 9 minutes into the fourth quarter and brought Fisher back on the court. When Fisher was waiting on the sidelines, he clearly heard some sighs.

Many Lakers fans didn't want to let Li Wan off the court.

Fisher was unhappy.

Also frustrated with him is "Little Shark" Bynum.

Tonight's game, although the Lakers won, it has nothing to do with him, or it has something to do with him. If it wasn't for him, the Lakers might have won more easily.

He was dragging his feet all night.

It took 33.4 minutes to get 11 points and 7 rebounds. It looks okay, but when put together with Howard's "big double-double" data of 28 and 16, there is really no comparison.

He was blasted!

And it was obviously blown up.

That means he's still a long way from being the league's best big man.

Howard, who performed well, came to greet him with a giggle, hugged Kobe first, and shouted to Li Wan, "Kid Neuroknife, I remember you, wonderful performance!"

There is no competitive spirit, which may be the most criticized point of the peak "Warcraft".

But there is no denying that he was really strong in his prime!

Turkoglu's expression was ugly. In this game, he finally got 14 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds, but he also made 5 turnovers. For the "Turkish Agent" who averaged only 1.6 turnovers per game in his career, this data is a bit dazzling.

And all of this is thanks to the newcomers of Huaxia. He was "arrested" twice by this guy!

Like Howard, also remember this newcomer!

See you in Auckland!

He murmured silently in his heart, when the time comes, he must pay the bill back.

Li Wan, who returned to his outstanding performance tonight, has once again become the darling of the media.

Late at night, Phil Jackson and Phil Handy returned to the Toyota Center to prepare for the next two away games.

"You said... how about letting Li Wan play No. 1?"

Phil Jackson suddenly asked. After the game ended tonight, he has been staring at Li Wan's data report. If it is said that Li Wan's organization and passing were just a flash of inspiration, then this game really showed a lot.

16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, shooting 50%!

This is the data that Fisher may not be able to play a game all season, and Li Wan only took 20 minutes to get this data. And the gap between the two of them is more than that.

Compared to Fisher, Li Wan has better defense, more ideas, and... more popularity!

Fisher is more than Lee Wan...

Maybe it's age and experience.

There is still a question mark on the latter item. As far as Li Wan's golf quotient is concerned, Fisher's experience is not necessarily an advantage.

Phil Handy put down the data and didn't rush to express his views, summed up Li Wan's advantages for Phil Jackson: "He has a very good independent offensive ability, a good vision, both offensive and defensive ends. Can take the pressure for Kobe…”

Why not let him play number one?

Phil Handy, who was summing up, and Phil Jackson, who was listening, had this idea in their minds almost at the same time.

It is true that Phil Jackson thought at first that he would use Li Wan as the sixth man of the team. But ideas are not immutable.

"Maybe it really can, just like Allen Iverson became the MVP of the regular season after switching to the No. 2 position. Maybe Lee can play the No. 1 position and perform better!"

Phil Handy saw the light in "Zen Master"'s eyes, and finally made his point.

"But...not now!"

Just after speaking his point of view, he suddenly turned a corner, Phil Jackson also nodded, he knew what Phil Handy's concerns were, Li Wan showed a lot of No. 1 qualities, but his own There are also big problems, such as instability, and physical problems.

Right now, it's better for him to stay in the sixth man position.

Originally Phil Jackson didn't immediately want to put him at the starting No. 1 position. But this is an idea, a workable idea, an idea that can be implemented in the future!

At 1:30 p.m. the next day, the entire Lakers flew to Denver to challenge the Nuggets away.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Wan had "altitude sickness" and adjusted a few breaths and inhales. He can already imagine how tiring it will be to play at the Pepsi Center in Denver at an altitude of 1,606 meters.

"Hey, rookie, isn't the altitude sickness uncomfortable?" Odom noticed Li Wan's strangeness and laughed, "But it's good for you to go to Salt Lake City, at least the altitude there is lower."

Utah is located on a plateau of 1206 meters above sea level, and there are some of the loudest fans in the world, hence the name "Devil's Home".

Li Wan ignored Odom, but asked thoughtfully: "I was thinking, if I come here for aerobic training in the summer, will it help my physical fitness."

"Of course there is, at least it works better than eating sea cucumber." Odom rubbed his chin full of stubble and gave serious advice, "When I was lazy and didn't want to train, my fitness coach asked me to eat sea cucumber every day. He told me that eating sea cucumber for a long time can improve physical fitness, and to a certain extent, it can also improve physical fitness."

"But I came back to train later, and that thing really has no taste at all!"

As if thinking of some painful return, Odom showed disgust on his face, and gradually revealed a wretched smile: "Compared to sea cucumber, abalone is more delicious, tender and juicy."

Li Wan got into the car with his bag and didn't listen to his nonsense anymore. After arriving at the hotel, he went to the temporary arena to practice shooting. He had to get used to the altitude sickness here as much as possible.

Back at the hotel after training, Odom came to him again. Excitedly, Li Wan declined him in advance: "I don't want to eat abalone!"

Just now, he practiced "self-picking and self-casting" for about an hour, and he was obviously much more tired than usual at this stage. Until now, his cheeks are still a little red.

Guangyuan is a bit attractive, and then looking for a **** the plateau, Li Wan is afraid that he will not wake up until tomorrow night when he is "drunk".

"No, man, something interesting happened, and jr-Smith thinks you're just an open shooter waiting for a pass from your teammates. You can't compare to him!"

"Congratulations, rookie, you were finally attacked!"

"Is this something to be congratulated too?"

Li Wan turned on the computer he brought, connected to the hotel's network cable, searched for relevant content on the Internet, and quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

This morning, the Nuggets opened the arena, and an ESPN reporter interviewed Jr-Smith: "A lot of people are saying recently that the Lakers' newcomer, Lee, has a very good scoring explosiveness, just like you, what do you think about this? ?"

Jr-Smith curled his lips in disgust, and comparing him with Li Wan made him very unhappy: "He is just a rookie who has played 6 games, and this is my fourth year in this league, I can handle the ball, Can shoot, pass and play. I have many labels in this league. The label of explosive scoring is only part of me. Besides, I don’t think his explosive scoring can be stronger than mine. !"

What does it mean to not have a clear understanding of oneself, this is a lack of clear understanding of oneself.

Li Wan does not deny that jr-Smith's "Needle Knife" attribute is higher than him, and the feel is coming. It may be better than when he turns on the "Nerve Knife" now, but he can pass the ball and organize. Is he right against these two? What's wrong with words?

Li Wan stopped browsing the news, found information, and began to study jr-Smith's video and scouting reports.

Early the next morning, during the Lakers’ pre-game free interview, Li Wan surrounded several reporters and asked him for his opinion.

"I'm definitely not the same as him. I can handle the ball, shoot, pass and organize, and I will have a lot of labels on my body. The ability to score explosively will only be part of my label!"

Some reporters didn't react: "Isn't this Jr Smith's point of view?"

"Yeah!" Li Wan nodded, "but he obviously doesn't know himself, but it's okay, after this game, he will know!"

Li Wan is very confident, and he has nothing to be unconfident about.

He now has all the talents of jr-Smith, and he also has better physical and static talents than him. He also has advantages in terms of ball quotient and strength. It can be said that he is an "enhanced version of jr-Smith".

Although he has not yet exhausted all his potential, jr-Smith has not yet ushered in his peak.

His response was undoubtedly fueling the fire.

This regular season, which was originally full of highlights because of Kobe Bryant's "Golden Double Guns", now has another highlight as jr-Smith and Li Wan shout to each other in the air.

Many media have described this conflict as a "neural knife battle"!
