The decline in physical fitness affected his condition. Li Wan failed to make a good shot even if he had a chance. In addition, he felt that the Knicks had increased their defensive intensity. Li Wan's style of play became much more team-oriented. His containment made his teammates

With scoring performance.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 110-98 and won the first game of the preseason.

Li Wan played 28 minutes and 15 seconds, making 10 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal.

He made all 6 shots before the first half and scored 14 points!

The shooting percentage is as high as 66.6%!

However, there were 3 mistakes.

However, both times occurred in the fourth quarter when Li Wan's physical fitness was not enough.

This is understandable.

Anyway, Phil Jackson understood very well and was very satisfied with his performance in this game. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You showed your ability and did a good job."

Then he added: "But this is only the first game of the preseason. There are still many tests you have to go through. If you continue to maintain this momentum, you will become an even better player."

Li Wan nodded.

Phil Jackson is right.

He also knew that this was just a preseason game, and no one showed their true skills. Moreover, his condition at the beginning of tonight was indeed a bit good. After turning on the "Psycho Knife" badge, he felt so hot that he almost exploded.

Already.

It can only be said that this was a smooth game, and it will be impossible to maintain such a high level in the future.

He is mentally prepared for this.

Fortunately, his state appeared in a game where he needed to prove himself, which made him very happy.

His eyes glanced to the other side, and he happened to meet Thomas's eyes.

The "Smiling Assassin" had been looking at Li Wan just now, and when he saw Phil Jackson talking to him with a smile, he felt sour in his heart.

Originally, at this time, he should be smiling and encouraging Li Wan...

But who scared him in the draft?

He looked at Li Wan's statistics with envy, and then looked at Chandler's statistics, which showed 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, a shooting percentage of over 30%, and 5 turnovers.

The entire performance was completely crushed by Li Wan, not to mention how shabby it was.

He felt like there was a lump in his chest, and he couldn't get up or get down. When Michael Jordan named him as "the Dream Team without me", he had never felt so bad.

But he still had to comfort Chandler who was downcast.

This game is just the beginning of his career. The NBA has never been a place for debate. Even now it seems that Chandler is much less talented than Li Wan, let alone the speed of improvement.

But his abilities are pretty good and he can survive in this league.

She walked next to him, held his arm tightly, brought him closer to her, and encouraged him: "It's okay, Wilson, men are always like this, the first time.

, don’t think it’s you who can’t do it, it will get better later!”

Phil Jackson was already being interviewed at this time, and he said with an old god's face: "I have already said that everyone will see a different him. Among the rookies in the new season, the biggest surprise will be him! This is just the beginning.

That’s all!”

His calm look made the reporter next to him couldn't help but ask: "Did you expect him to perform like this tonight?"

I can predict a ghost!

Phil Jackson hopes and expects Li Wan to perform well and become a better player.

But what he thought of as a "good performance" was completely different from what Li Wan showed tonight.

But when the words came to his lips, he became: "We are very aware of his strength and the level he can achieve. He was the first person to be replaced by the Lakers when they made substitutions tonight. This proves our understanding of

His abilities are clear, after all... we watched him grow up step by step!"

This remark caused an uproar among the reporters at the scene.

At this time, they also realized that the reason why they were so surprised was because Li Wan could not perform like this no matter how good his condition was.

He can make progress, in addition to his own efforts, there must be someone helping him. This person... "Zen Master" is worthy of being a "Zen Master". This ability to train new people is really strong!

Phil Jackson was very satisfied with the effect and ended the interview with a click.

Kobe was also surrounded by reporters. When asked about the performance of the newcomers, he curled his lips disdainfully: "This is just a preseason game. If I can win the championship if I perform well in just one preseason game, then I

Now you can build a house with rings..."

As he spoke, he was still complaining in his heart: "Look at these guys who have never seen the world!"

But after the staff dispersed the reporters who were interviewing him, he secretly walked to the trainer he knew well and looked around with a guilty look on his face, as if he was afraid of being discovered: "Do you have Li's contact information? Give it to me.

"

The trainer was surprised, but he quickly took out his cell phone and gave him Li Wan's phone number. Kobe looked at it and wrote it down, then checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he asked the trainer to keep it secret and not let others know about it.

.

Li Wan also learned about Kobe's comments from the reporters surrounding him, and smiled without taking it seriously. In the preseason, in front of stars of that level, it was really nothing.

However, today's performance really allowed him to regain the enthusiasm he had when he hit the buzzer beater in the NCAA Finals.

Look at these people around!

The Lakers reporters looked at his humble appearance with joy in their eyes and in their hearts.

Who doesn't like a new guy who's got the chops and won't cause trouble?

After answering the question, he returned to the locker room, took out his cell phone and saw the message sent to him by Greg Oden.

——Man, you went crazy again, tonight was great, see you tomorrow!

After briefly replying "OK", he packed up and planned to go back. Odom also wanted to ask him to go to the nightclub, but this time he refused. Tomorrow the entire Lakers team will fly to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers. This will

This is the first away game of his NBA career. He wants to rest early.

Odom didn't force it. He could also see that Li Wan, who ranked third on the team in playing time tonight, was very tired. The young man's physical fitness was indeed an issue when he first entered the league and he needed a good rest.

When Li Wan arrived home, Kobe was already there.

Vanessa, who had jet-black curly hair and was wearing black silk pajamas, came up to her with a smile. Kobe changed clothes and wanted to go back to the room to take a look at his second daughter GIGI, who was born last year, which made Vanessa flip through the pages.

Rolling his eyes and "attacking" with his little pink fist, the two of them came to the door of the room, stopped consciously, and entered the room in a low voice.

Seeing that GIGI was already asleep, Kobe touched the little guy's pink face with his hand, poked a small hole in it, couldn't help but smile, and didn't disturb him anymore.

Back in the living room, watching the basketball news on TV, he suddenly thought of Li Wan, who played brilliantly tonight.

Do you want to send a message to encourage this newbie Li Wan?

His performance was really good today...

But think about it, this is only the first preseason game, so let’s take another look!

Kobe gave up the idea again.

Two updates early, please recommend and support!!!
