Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife: Chapter 8 Domestic praise

"Is this Li?"

"Is this Li?"

"WTF!"

"Could this be Li?"

Madison Square Garden, Thomas the "Smiling Assassin" watched the video of the game just passed from Las Vegas and slapped the table hard.

He took out Li Wan's scouting report and called the scout who wrote the report: "Dude, is this called lack of ball-handling ability? This is called lack of shooting ability? Is this called lack of offensive means?"

After asking three times in a row, the scout on the other end of the phone was busy from last night until 3 pm. When Thomas called, he was sleeping and asked him directly. It took him a long time to say, "What?"

"Fuck you, look at the summer league you just finished, look at your scouting report, and you'll know what I'm talking about!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone ruthlessly, because it was too strong, the phone that hung up bounced again,

"fxxk!"

Thomas has made many decisions that turned out to be wrong, but he has never been so upset as he is now, because he temporarily changed his mind in the last ten minutes and chose the more secure Chandler.

If in the end Lee Wan comes out and is much more successful than Chandler...

hiss~

OK!

Thomas didn't look any further, just glanced at the post-match stats sent together, and closed his eyes again in despair.

No, can the gap be so big?

Who is the 21-year-old rookie with outstanding combat power?

After thinking for a while, Thomas took out his mobile phone, called Chandler, tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and asked softly, "Man, what's going on today? It's not you, I know very well, yours The strength can definitely be better!"

"I, I, I..." Chandler hesitated for a long time, "I need to get used to two games, yes, get used to it, and although I don't use this as an excuse, I seem to have eaten something wrong today. I've been feeling unwell, so I'm in a bit of a bad state..."

"Is that so?"

The signature smile reappeared on Thomas' face.

"That's fine, hey, man, I believe you can definitely play better, it's just a summer league game, don't worry about it, adjust well, and play the rest of the summer league games."

"Okay, coach, I'll adjust as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest!"

Thomas reached out and hung up the microphone gently, his expression not as annoyed as before.

Chandler's game was just unwell, which gave him hope and room for imagination.

and…

"This is the summer league, and it's just the first game. Who knows, is his state normal, or is it just like that lore like a flash of inspiration?"

Thomas tries to think on the bright side.

Phil Handy thinks so too, but he is not pessimistic about Li Wan, but out of prudence. As a qualified chief assistant coach of the Lakers, he cannot rush to call Phil just because of a game. Michael Jackson, told him that Li Wan's shortcomings had been improved by himself in many ways.

He picked up Li Wan's scouting report with great interest and read it page by page.

He had read this report at least a hundred times, and he could memorize it.

But right now, he's focused as if he's reading the report for the first time.

He wondered why Li Wan had so many changes in just one month, which greatly compromised the accuracy of the scouting report about him.

"I started playing basketball in my third year of high school..."

"Is that the reason?"

Because the time he has been in contact with basketball is too short, he needs to improve in many aspects, and the college has two talented teammates, Oden and Conley, and he is destined to have little opportunity to show on the offensive end.

So it has not developed the ability to hold the ball?

"It seems to make sense!"

Phil Handy's eyes gradually brightened.

If this is the reason, then Li Wan's potential is much greater than the average 19-year-old rookie!

It is understandable that progress is so fast!

Li Wan didn't know that Phil Handy had begun to "dihua", otherwise he must have looked at him with a look of approval: "You are really accurate, I am a genius, and I can improve so fast, completely On my own!"

He was quite satisfied with his performance in Game 1 of the Summer League.

Except for the fitness calculation error. - He originally thought that his 50 points of physical fitness should be enough to play in the summer league.

But he found out after the game that the rhythm and confrontational intensity of the summer league were much more intense than he thought. This is the real-life version of The Hunger Games by Gary Ross.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that the person opposing him tonight is Chandler, and Li Wan himself has continued to attack for a long time. It was the first time he had enjoyed the "unlimited right to fire", and it was inevitable that he was a little addicted to it.

The next morning, Li Wan got up and went to the arena. On the way, he checked the news on his mobile phone for a while, but after searching for a long time, he could not find any reports about the summer league.

For the media, the reporting value of the summer league is not as good as the matter of "Nowitzki went out to sea and caught a fish".

Including high-traffic Los Angeles media.

They are now all thinking about Kobe Bryant's negotiations with the Lakers management, and they have no time to think about anything else.

Also, if Kobe does move to the Bulls, what's the use of a rookie who plays well in summer league?

Li Wan played the next two summer league games without anyone's attention, and his performance is getting better and better.

He scored 20 points in the second summer league game, and again scored 21 points in the third summer league game, scoring 20+ in two consecutive games. Although his fouls and turnovers in these two games are still high, 6 fouls and 5 turnovers and 5 fouls and 5 turnovers.

Phil Handy didn't care about his two aspects.

The rhythm of the summer league is so fast, due to the non-stop relationship and the lack of tactical cooperation, in terms of offense and defense transition, even the NBA regular season is not comparable.

Mistakes are normal.

Especially Li Wan is only a 19-year-old rookie.

There has been a lot of domestic coverage of his performance in the summer league:

"Take another 21 points, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Chinese teenagers show adaptability! 》

"This rookie is a bit fierce, Li Wan averaged 20 points per game, galloping in the summer league! 》

"The outside hope of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is actually him? Li Wan's summer league performance exceeded expectations! 》

…

All kinds of compliments are about to blow him to the sky.

Originally, domestic fans and domestic media had no concept of the summer league. They thought it was a place for a group of draft competitions. The intensity must be very low, and it must not be comparable to the CBA.

Well, there are fans in the domestic media during this period, because Yao Ming became the top center in the NBA, and Yi Jianlian was selected 6th overall in the first round, which has indeed swelled to a certain extent.

Only now, they don't think so.

In order to prepare for next year's Olympic Games, all members of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, except Yao Ming, including Yi Jianlian, who was just selected with the sixth overall pick in the first round, participated in this summer league.

I thought that even without Yao Ming, it would be easy for the national team to play in a league of this level. As a result, after three games of the summer league, the Huaxia men's basketball team did not win a game.

Yi Jianlian showed his immature side in the confrontation of the high-strength team.

Wang Zhizhi averaged about 17 points per game, which is already a thigh-level performance in the team.

No one thought that without Yao Ming, this Chinese men's basketball team would have difficulty even playing in the summer league...

At this time, Li Wan averaged 20 points per game in the summer league, and he played more powerful firepower than Wang Zhizhi. How can he not let the domestic media and fans admire him!

In the domestic discussion, the Lakers also ushered in their 4th game in the summer league. Their opponent is none other than the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team!
