156: Damn, it’s really a boxing match(1/2)
Although the Mavericks won, Nowitzki scored a game-high 32 points.
But the German doesn't get the praise and respect he deserves.
People say that Nowitzki's game is too soft, and that as a long man he shouldn't just think about shooting three-pointers.
"If you grow so tall, you have to go low. What if he doesn't feel good about three-pointers next time?"
"It is unimaginable that as a tall man, he can only misplace himself to beat a small man. To be honest, he is not domineering enough to win."
"For a guy who looks like a softie, the Mavericks may be very good in the regular season. But in the playoffs, he is just waiting to be dealt with. Guess what Karl Malone and Tim Duncan will do to him?"
As we all know, Dirk's reputation has always been bad.
If it hadn't been for the championship in 2011, I would have been labeled a softie until I retired.
Li Ang was also speechless. Aren't you bullying honest people?
As long as you can win, you don't care how others play.
To put it bluntly, it’s not because he is not a local player from his country.
If a local white power forward performed like this, the next day all the players would call him second to Larry Bird.
There is no way, after all, it is an old and world-famous double standard.
Nowitzki, who won the game, was questioned, but Leon and the Raptors, who lost the game, were not criticized verbally. The Mavericks won, but they seemed not to win.
After all, although the Raptors lost, their record so far this season is still excellent.
But after losing this game, Li Ang found that Wilkens would always stare at him with interesting eyes on the training ground, and from time to time he couldn't help but bite his lip while watching him.
It gave Li Ang a chill down his spine.
And, the most outrageous thing is that Wilkens actually told Li Ang for the first time: "Lee, I think you should improve your shooting."
You know, Wilkens' previous requirement for Li Ang on the offensive end was to cut in and play in the low post.
Why, are you really planning to let me develop into a shooting guard?
"Dale, if you have nothing to do, teach Li Ang more about shooting and correct the details of his shooting movements. By the way, I have a little trick for practicing shooting in interference. Under normal circumstances, there is no outside pass. Do you want to try it?"
Ten minutes later, Wilkens came over with a sports headband.
It's the kind that James will use to block his hairline in the future.
But the difference between this sports headband and ordinary headbands is that Wilkens attached a cardboard shell cut into the shape of a palm to the headband.
After Li Ang puts on the headband, it is equivalent to having a big hand blocking Li Ang's eyes, simulating a state of being disturbed.
Li Ang's eyes were completely dark now and he couldn't see anything.
What is the difference between this special code and shooting with eyes closed? What is the difference between me and Lao Hu?
"Come on, let's try a shot." Wilkens looked at Li Ang expectantly. He believed that Li Ang had this talent.
After all, Li Ang has made great progress in shooting this year, which shows that his potential has not been fully developed.
Li Ang bit the bullet and shot the ball when he could only see the basket through the gap between his fingers.
As a result, after casting, I heard neither the sweet "brush" nor the "duang" of blacksmithing.
Instead, he let out a scream: "Ah!"
Li Ang quickly took off his headband and took a look. Oh my god, this ball didn't even find the backboard. It hit the head of Mark Jackson who was standing near the baseline with a precise parabola.
The training ground was eerily quiet, and the corners of Wilkens' mouth twitched.
To be honest, he didn't expect Li Ang to be able to hit the ball the first time he used this thing, but he also didn't expect it to be so crooked.
It seems that he still underestimated Li Ang's shooting ability.
But it doesn't matter. Cultivating a player is a long-term project, and Wilkens didn't expect Leon to become a talent in one day.
As long as he practices like this day after day, Li Ang will definitely be able to become a non-interfering and uncomfortable person.
So in the afternoon training, when Li Ang was practicing shooting in one half of the court, everyone else would squeeze into the other half.
If you don’t have a good eye for basketball, you won’t dare to stand with Li Ang anymore.
Even if Li Ang's shot is deflected, it will never be deflected to the other half.
In these days of shooting with my eyes covered every day, the time has come in December.
Unconsciously, it has been a month since the new season started.
The ever-stronger Karl Malone became the Player of the Month in the first month of the new season.
During this period, there is really only one NBA Player of the Month for each month, instead of being divided into Eastern Conference Player of the Month and Western Conference Player of the Month like in the future.
The Players of the Month are divided into East and West. Li Ang remembers that it seems to have started next season.
That’s why when competing for honors, people generally don’t point out the winner of the month.
Because the 2001-02 season is used as the dividing line, the gold content of the best months before and after is different, so we cannot compare them directly.
Even at the age of 37, Malone can easily win the Player of the Month Award. I have to say that this guy is really capable.
People say that he is self-disciplined and that he can only train day after day because he can't find a place to play in Salt Lake City.
But in fact, this illegitimate child is so capable of being black when he is pulled out, and his body is still so good, it is simply terrifying.
Carter was a little disappointed. He thought his two 40-point performances this month were enough to win the best of the month.
Who knew it would be given to Malone in the end.
This is no joke.
The main reason for Carter's loss was that he missed three games.
And Malone, who is as diligent as a postman, has never missed a game, so he is the best player of the month.
Does it feel unreasonable? Does it feel completely illogical?
That's right, if the media votes are reasonable, how come Deng Shu doesn't have a DPOY?
Of course, Malone's performance in December was indeed very good. Not only did he lead the Jazz to the No. 1 record in the Western Conference, he still had an output of 23-10.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this state, if Malone can win a few championships, people will probably be talking about him now.
Carter is aggrieved and can't win the best award of the month, so what's the difference between me and a salty fish like McGrady!?
Taking a step back, what's the difference between me and an inferior guard like Kobe?
Carter is already thinking about the best thing of the month, while Li Ang is still wearing that ridiculous headband and working hard on the training ground.
To be honest, if Li Ang had obtained a system that relied on blacksmithing to upgrade, he would probably be strong enough to kill Jordan by now.
Oh, it seems that it has indeed been done.
In these crazy days of blacksmithing, the competition in December has also begun.
As a result, as soon as December came, the Raptors overturned the Clippers.
Against the Clippers on December 1, Odom and Olowokandi, two talented players with the Austrian surname, both played very hard.
Speaking of which, Odom seems to have failed in front of Leon.
No, no matter how big the situation is, the three brothers in Queensbridge District will basically not be able to fight well against Li Ang.
But today they are in a state of suspected human-to-human transmission.
Carter, Mark Jackson and Dell Curry, they turned into Toronto's three-shot rejection team today, allowing Leon to grab 9 offensive rebounds in total.
So everyone understands, right?
High emotional intelligence: Li Ang's offensive rebounding ability is quite explosive.
Low EQ: The Raptors guards' shooting is lackluster.
On the Clippers side, although Olowokandi and Odom were as unsatisfactory as ever, Quentin Richardson and Kenyon Dooling performed very well and laughed in this iron match.
at last.
Li Ang scored 18 points and 18 rebounds in the game, and he just had to eat an 18-point fruit plate at night.
But in the end, I still couldn’t withstand the madness of the three rejected bids.
88 to 83, the Raptors narrowly lost to the Clippers on the road, suffering their first losing streak since the start of the season!
Raptors fans are not angry yet, but Lakers fans are almost angry to death.
The Lakers can't beat the Raptors, and the Raptors can't beat the Clippers. Damn...
No matter who you lose, you have to lose to the Clippers!
There are so many fans in the league, do you have to choose him?
How are we, the Lakers, inferior to him?
Speaking of which, the Raptors' two consecutive losses were exactly at the hands of Western Conference teams.
Therefore, reporters couldn't help but ask a question at the new conference after the game: "Can you prevent the team from falling into the quagmire of three consecutive losses?"
After losing to two Western Conference teams in a row, in the next game, the Raptors did not encounter an opponent that could bring them back. Instead, they happened to run into the Utah Jazz, the No. 1 player in the Western Conference!
To be continued...
