Chapter 107 You really can’t beat the talker
The Utah media also complained about "Little Fatty".
The sentence "If Deron is not in Utah, he will definitely be an All-Star starter" expresses their attitude.
And this is exactly what Deron Williams wants to hear most.
The entire Utah State favored Deron, and Jerry Sloan did the same. It may be for this reason that Deron Williams later became more and more arrogant, thinking that all success was his own efforts, and even thought that Jerry
Lee Sloan used the system to limit him, otherwise he could reach a higher ceiling.
To a certain extent, Deron is not much different from the later "Little Steel Cannon" Lowry. They are both system players.
As for why Deron made three All-Star appearances, won two All-NBA Second Teams, and then died early, while Lowry made one Best Third Team, made six All-Stars, and started three of them.
Won the championship.
Maybe Lori knows how much he weighs better than he does.
It's just that they are complaining for Deron, and the outside world's attention is mainly focused on the forward position in the Eastern Conference. People are complaining for Kevin Garnett one after another.
Over in Los Angeles, there was "noisy gongs and drums and loud firecrackers" to build momentum for Li Wan!
The difference in votes between him and Steve Nash is not very large. As long as he intensifies his efforts, it is estimated that after the second stage of voting, he will be able to overtake Steve Nash immediately.
Although the "Son of the Wind" averaged 16.2 points, 11.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, his style is still the same, and he just won two regular season MVPs, so his momentum is there.
But Li Wan is really the biggest surprise in the league this season!
His unique and fan-attracting personality, his on-court playing style that is full of expectations, and his interesting anecdotes off the court make him full of infinite charm...
It is normal for such a person to play in Los Angeles and become an NBA All-Star starter!
Even though, he is still a rookie who has only played for two months.
Anyway...
Los Angeles fans think so!
Moreover, Li Wan has averaged 16.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game so far, shooting 43.1% from the field, 39.1% from the three-point range, and 83.6% from the free throw line. He only makes 1.6 turnovers per game.
If you don't compare this data with anyone else, you are still qualified to be an All-Star.
It's just that at the All-Star level, there is no advantage...
But is the All-Star competition just about statistics?
The popularity bonus off-site is also very important!
Los Angeles fans: This is our holiday after all!
When they saw that Li Wan was so close to the starting lineup, most fans in Los Angeles had only one sentence in their hearts: treat this as the only opportunity in this life to help Li Wan squeeze into the All-Star starting lineup...
It's not just Los Angeles fans who think this way.
Domestically, things are also getting busy.
"You have one vote, I have one vote, and my brother will make his debut tomorrow!"
"If you don't do it and I don't do it, Li Wan will be knocked down!"
"If you work hard and I work hard, my brother will do miracles!"
"If you don't vote, and I won't vote, how can Li Wan get ahead?"
…
Li Wan was so close to starting in the All-Star Game, which made them extremely excited.
No, the slogans were shouted out!
It is said that the momentum scared the little girls from Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan next door, and they all complained: This is too fanciful! No, we have to increase our efforts!
No one could have imagined that the emergence of Li Wan would accelerate the development of “rice circle culture”.
This may be the worst impact Li Wan has had so far.
Of course, one thing is that Li Wan can guarantee that he will definitely not "collapse", so fans don't have to worry about whether he will have a friend from Guangdong.
Speaking of which, this is not only the case for "Li Wan Bar", but also for "Alian Bar".
Although the UAE's rookie season has not performed well so far, far below everyone's expectations...
But, if you can see a Chinese player during the All-Star Weekend, that’s one!
At this time, Chinese fans still know that their guns are always facing the outside world.
Li Wan remains calm about this matter, and David Stern has not expressed his position yet, which means that the original change in the All-Star voting rules is likely to happen again.
Having longing for uncertain things is not Li Wan's style.
His idea has always been not to have too high expectations. When he really achieves his goal, he will say: This is actually nothing special...
However, the media thought he had started to pretend.
This result...
Not bad.
The All-Star topic didn't elicit any explosive answers from Li Wan.
A reporter asked Li Wan what his expectations were for tonight's matchup with Deron Williams: "What kind of performance do you think you will perform, better than him or worse than him?"
After asking the question, he added: "In the first stage of voting, Deron was only ranked 6th among Western Conference guards..."
The meaning of these words is clear and direct: no way, no way, it’s not like the third place can’t beat the sixth place, right?
Li Wan glanced at the guy's work ID, ESPN...
No wonder!
Li Wan once suspected that these gangsters had all been trained at UC.
Even if it's a big deal, they can make the city full of trouble.
"One thing I'm sure of..." Li Wan looked at the reporter and said calmly, "Rather than me wanting to beat Deron Williams, I think he wants to beat me now because I'm ranked in front of him.
"
"so……"
"You should interview the challenger and see what he thinks!"
Although he knew what the reporter was thinking, Li Wan still followed his wishes and started to pretend.
Mainly, he knows very well that in the eyes of Deron Williams, he must be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.
Since the relationship cannot be eased, then it will simply deteriorate to the end!
With so many players in the league, they can’t all be brothers, right?
When Deron Williams heard this, a fire rushed to his forehead. He couldn't control it as if he had eaten mustard. He nodded solemnly and said: "Yep, let's take a look at this newcomer."
What on earth are you capable of!"
Pick a challenger?
I am the absolute core of the team, challenge you, a rookie?
Thank you for speaking out!
"Little Fatty" is very angry...
The hostility of Utahns towards Li Wan has also reached a new level.
40 minutes before the game, when Li Wan walked out of the visiting team's tunnel, he could clearly feel his ears buzzing.
Depend on……
My ears are ringing!
Fortunately, it only happens once in the regular season. It would be a torture to have to do it several times.
Li Wan feels a little sorry for the other teams in the Northwest Division, because they have to come here twice every season just for the regular season. If you add the playoffs, it will be four or five times a year. It is exciting to think about it.
If you change teams in the future, you should stay away from the Northwest Division...
The fans' curses filled Li Wan's ears, but this was what he was thinking about.
The season has been going on for two months, and we have played twice "back to back", and we have defeated the Bulls and Celtics respectively, especially the last one, on the stage of the "Christmas Day War".
Li Wan is not a newbie now.
With experience, I am less afraid of boos in away games.
Even though Energy Solution Arena is the league's famous "devil's home stadium," Li Wan's feeling is just... just so so.
It will have an impact, but it won't make him lose his temper.
Kobe probably didn't feel that he had grown to this point. Seeing that he was still tying his shoelaces, he vomited disdainfully: "Are you scared by the Jazz's home court? Are you going to tie them until the end of the game?"
There is a kind of coldness that makes your mother think you are cold;
There is a kind of fear that makes Kobe think you are scared;
To be continued...
