Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

Then they continued on the road to challenge the traditional tyrannical Detroit Pistons in the East.

The two best rookies in the preseason, Li Wan and Stuckey will meet in this game.

There are basically two types of players who can become the core of the team: super talented and extremely hard-working players.

Stucky belongs to the third category. Although he was not a high draft pick, the Pistons really valued him and regarded him as the successor to Billups. Later, the team rebuilt and cultivated him as the absolute core of the team.

It's a pity that there is really no great talent. In the future, the top three on the list of "the core of the team who can't help the team" must have his name.

However, this is all later, only to say that now, his future is bright!

In the two preseason games, he also handed in a good answer, with 15 points in the first game and 16 points in the second game.

This performance also gave him full confidence. When the media asked him and Li Wan, who was the best rookie at the moment, he didn't hesitate: "Of course it's me!"

When Li Wan saw this report, he shook his head again and again.

This kid is so innocent, he jumps when the reporter digs a hole for him!

If his mind is so dull, I am afraid that after the rookie season, the entire league will be his enemy.

And when the game officially started, he was surprised to find that Stuckey was not only pure, but also dazed. Li Wan came up for the first round, and as soon as he got the ball, he immediately blocked in front of him with enthusiasm. He had just cut a stalk of leek and seemed to have a layer of wax on the top of his head. That artificial jasmine The fragrance hit Li Wan's nose.

It can be seen that he has dressed up for tonight.

only…

Li Wanyi changed his usual way of calling pick-and-rolls, changed his direction twice in a row, and then took a step toward the right front. His explosive power at the top level in the league made him throw away Stuckey in one fell swoop.

The scouting report on Stuckey has such a fatal weakness: poor defense and lack of speed.

Generally, players who lack speed are slow to move laterally.

This has nothing to do with the explosiveness of the body, as strong as Derrick Rose, but also has the problem of slow lateral movement. But that didn't stop him from becoming the youngest regular-season MVP in NBA history.

Just on the defensive end, this problem is somewhat fatal.

Li Wanchun crushed him with his dynamic talent.

Don't say it, it feels really cool!

Putting the basket into the basket, Li Wan said to him when he returned to the defense: "You are too slow man, spray less gel water, and study your lateral movement more!"

These words caused Stuckey to get the ball in the backcourt, but he didn't look anywhere, and went straight to Li Wan. With the help of Vujacic, Li Wan easily stopped his attack and waited for Lamar Odom to protect the rebound. , another quick counter-attack, scoring over Stuckey's head.

After scoring another goal, Li Wan rapped directly: "Hey man, if it's better than basketball, it's really several times stronger than you!"

This is a response to his provocation in the face of the media.

Although Stucky is also a pit for people, Li Wan has always had vengeance for his opponents who provoked him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be on the fence with Noah after the draft.

It's the first time for everyone to be a human, why should I let you?

The ESPN reporter on the sidelines lit up, and quickly wrote down Li Wan's trash talk in his notebook.

Stucky's face became more and more stinky under the stimulation of Li Wan.

Li Wan is not worried about him, this guy seems to have played well in the first two games of the preseason, but really, throughout the rookie season, his overall performance in the 2007 class is not ranked.

Averaged 7.6 points, 2.8 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game.

Among the newcomers of the 2007 class, there is an opponent who makes Li Wan jealous, but it is definitely not him.

It's just that Li Wan abused Stuckey very well on the offensive end, and educated people on the defensive end.

In the infinite movement following Hamilton, his physical fitness became a problem.

After the game, Li Wan felt that he could squeeze a basin of water out of his clothes.

Kobe looked at him and wanted to tell him that he was like this against Hamilton. This man was tired of running a dog. After the 2004 finals, he wanted to break Hamilton's leg.

The Lakers lost the game.

Phil Jackson has nothing to dislike.

Li Wan's 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists were better than Stuckey's 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

This is far more important than winning.

2 wins and 1 loss, back to Los Angeles. The moment he got off the plane, the only thought in Li Wan's mind was to go home immediately and lie down on the bed.

Consecutive away games, running around on the road is indeed a great drain on a player's spirit.

Phil Jackson led the assistant coaching team to an overnight meeting. There are 3 games left in the preseason, and then we have to work on the team's tactics and tacit understanding on both ends of the offense and defense.

So, it's time to determine the starting lineup and the rotation.

There are not many adjustments, the only thing that needs to be determined...is the biggest surprise in the preseason - Li Wan.

The immediate combat power he showed is definitely enough for the regular season bench rotation level.

His excellent ball-handling ability and communication skills on the court can be a good glue for the Lakers' bench.

To put it simply, Li Wan is a barrel of panacea, um, a panacea with excellent ball business.

He is also very mature.

The only problem is his physical fitness, but in the first 20 minutes or so, there should be no physical burden.

After further adapting to the intensity of the league, it will not be a big problem if you want to play for 25 minutes.

Phil Handy said everything, Phil Jackson didn't ask other people's opinions any more, and said bluntly: "If nothing else, he will be the first substitute for the second position in the regular season, and he will be the first in the rotation to output firepower. One person chooses."

Vujacic is a qualified No. 2 substitute, but he has it, and Li Wan has it. Li Wan has a lot more that he doesn't have. Like anticipation.

Other assistant coaches have no opinion. Li Wan has shown his potential as a "super sixth man" in three games. If he wants to play his greatest role, this position is the most suitable for him.

Just after chatting almost, the door of the office suddenly opened. Kupchak entered the door with a document, smiling, his two sunken eyes, deep and bright, with a bit of cunning.

"Everyone, it's hard work. At 3 in the morning, if George has such enthusiasm, I don't think he has to worry about whether he can keep his position under his **** next year."

Phil Jackson watched him speak, clenching his fists unconsciously. I really want to give this dangling B face a punch. He always felt that Kupchak didn't have nothing to do and came here.

There are tricks.

"Phil, this is about Lee's quotation. He's been doing well recently, which makes him very sought-after. Look, if there's anything you want."

"You shouldn't have forgotten, right? You asked us to trade the newcomers of China."

With Kupchak putting the information in front of him, Phil Jackson understood why he wanted to smoke this guy.

wow, here comes the trick...

Isn't that the equivalent of forcing him to admit that he was wrong before?

He quietly opened the information bag, as Kupchak said, the offers from other teams are really good, and some strong teams even plan to send next year's first-round picks to get him.

only…

Beautiful!

In Phil Jackson's mind, the current Li Wan of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is part of the team, so players with high IQs can't meet casually.

But he also didn't want to bow his head to Kupchak. His ambition is to enter the management of the Lakers. This time, the disagreement with Kupchak is very big. If he admits defeat in the end, doesn't it prove that his ability to choose is not as strong as that of Kupchak? So how did he get into management?

According to the current momentum of development, he is sure that this matter will be reduced to small matters and trivial matters.

so…

"It's very good, but there are still some gaps from what I want..."

"The Cavaliers are willing to trade LeBron James with anyone other than Big Z."

"Heh, is there anyone else in their team?"

"The Nets are willing to take out Mickey Moore, or even Nenad Krstic, who averaged 16 points per game last season?"

"Heh, a guy who doesn't even get 10 points in the starting lineup and a patient with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee?"

"The Pacers are willing to send Jermaine O'Neal or their first-round pick next year."

"And another badly injured big man? Am I not worried enough? One more thing about his knees? I'm not a masochist."

…

What else Kupchak wanted to say, Phil Jackson said first: "Okay, General Manager Mitch, I have just carefully looked at the offers of other teams, and I don't think I have met my psychological expectations."

The mouth is really hard!

Kupchak once used the 2002-03 Lakers championship ring to cut through the thick glass, but he felt that the diamond ring was not as hard as Phil Jackson's mouth.

Is it so difficult to admit Li Wanqiang?
