Chapter 37 Kobe Bryant(1/2)
surrenders
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 30 to 21 by 9 points.
Already already leading by 11 points, Al Jefferson hit a strong hit against Bynum at the end, narrowing the point difference to 9 points.
Li Wan got 2 assists, but his condition was not very good tonight. He failed to hit in 3 shots.
Zeke Hearn joked: "Did the last game be too hot and used up all the feeling in this game?"
Whitman yelled at McCants. If it weren't for this guy, the Timberwolves could have narrowed the gap even more: "Sebastian, you go in the second quarter!"
The black man whose name was called stood up from the bench and walked to Whitman.
Sebastian Telfair, Marbury's cousin, was a super talent listed in "Sports Illustrated" with LeBron James in high school and was well-known throughout the United States. Once he entered the NBA, his talent was obviously not as good as his own.
No matter how outstanding he was, the Trail Blazers drafted him in 2004 and played for the Celtics two years later. This summer, the police found marijuana and a loaded pistol in his car, and the Celtics management took advantage of the situation and traded him.
Here comes the Timberwolves.
Whitman would definitely not want to use such a guy with a problematic personality and insufficient potential, but who made McCants' game so outrageous?
Phil Jackson laid out the tactics, and when they were disbanded, Kobe looked at Li Wan standing next to him expressionlessly: "Arrogant guy, your scoring now is just zero, where is your scoring explosiveness? Or is it just that one point?
If this is the case, then you should learn to respect it and at least learn to reply to text messages!"
Li Wan:……
Wow, there are such stingy people in this world!
Li Wan still didn't know what Odom had caused trouble for him. Kobe was so aggressive, so he simply said it: "Tell me, how many points should I score before this matter can be over? Another 5 minutes and 11 points?"
Kobe had a ridiculous expression on his face. How could a man who hadn't scored yet be so confident?
"It seems that you were really beaten in the first scene..."
"Then it's settled, I will score 11 points in 5 minutes again, but there is a prerequisite. If you are on the court, you must also cooperate with me and help me contain it. I will be the main attack!" Li Wan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Kobe and directly fought.
He said, "If I really do it, this will be the end of it, okay?"
Kobe nodded and said in a strong tone: "Sure, let's try it!" He was a little angry and laughed. He didn't believe that Li Wan could really do it.
The second quarter of the game begins.
The Lakers still brought out the substitute lineup first. This time it was a full substitute lineup. When Li Wan saw Telfair on the opposite side, he called Jordan Farmar and Turiaf to his side and called himself
expressed his thoughts.
The two people nodded, indicating that they knew, and Kobe said "hum", pretending to be a ghost!
The Lakers had the first offensive right in the second quarter. Jordan Farmar held the ball through half court. Facing Marbury's cousin, he called Turiaf's pick-and-roll. Instead of going to the right side of the screen, he started from the left.
He directly accelerated to break through. Telfair was deceived and when he tried to catch up again, Jordan Farmar had already completed the attack.
The score difference comes to 11 points!
"uh-huh!"
When Jordan Farmar retreated from defense, he raised his eyebrows at Telfair. This successfully angered him. He dribbled the ball back to the Lakers' half. Telfair, who was chattering trash, looked for a breakthrough space. Jordan
-Farmar gave up the right side and successfully led him into the Lakers' circle.
The Lakers took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack!
13 points!
Li Wan is still just guessing about McCants' shortcomings and problems, but he is very sure about Telfair's shortcomings and problems. Looking at the game videos of this kid when he was with the Celtics, you can often see special features.
Elfer becomes irritable after the opponent scores against him, or fails to guard the opponent. He will blame himself strongly, and then only focus on the basket.
It can be said that this is a competitive spirit, or it can be said that he is trying to get the best of his own abilities, or it can be said that this is a very self-expression. Being famous all over the United States too early makes him very concerned about face.
When Li Wan saw him play, he only said one thing to Jordan Farmar and Turiaf: hit a pick-and-roll goal, and then double-team him together.
The former "best high school student in the United States" was indeed the same as when he was with the Celtics. Facing Jordan Farmar's goal, he once again fell into the corner of having to prove himself.
Seeing that the score difference was getting wider and wider, Whitman had no choice but to call a timeout.
At 2 minutes and 45 seconds, the main players on both sides returned to the court. Like the Suns, the Timberwolves did not have a strong ball-holding small forward, so Li Wan continued to be left on the court.
This was Phil Jackson's arrangement after receiving the signal from Kobe's eyes. Although he didn't know what happened between Kobe and Li Wan, he tended to think that "the two people were using some method to eliminate the gap between them."
"Already 15 points ahead? You don't have to wait for garbage time to fulfill what you said, right? Yes, garbage time is indeed easier!" Kobe pointed at the scores of the two teams and looked at Li Wan.
Li Wan replied: "That's what I played on the court too!"
Kobe curled his lips: "We are not talking about the same thing, man, you can try to do what you said in garbage time. This is in our bet. I have no objection, but you just seemed to have missed another 1 shot."
The ball was 0 out of 4, do you still dare to continue shooting?"
"Man, if this is your way of provoking a general, I have to say, it's really bad!"
Li Wan rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
Now he finally understands why Kobe is respected and feared by others in the team, so he avoids him. He has nothing to say about his strength, and his personality is really bad!
Put so much pressure on a rookie, are you Michael Jordan?
Kwame Brown is sitting next to you. Do you want me to be like that?
"I will do what I say, and you must do what you promised and cooperate with me!"
Watching the opponent serve, Li Wan said the last sentence and walked towards Corey Brewer: "Long time no see, Corey."
Brewer said nothing, but his eyes showed fighting spirit.
Last night, Brewer's college teammates all called him one by one and asked him to give Li Wan a look. He has been waiting to face Li Wan. Now, this moment has finally come...
You have to pay the price for your actions.
Brewer was about to make a move, but Whitman's signal from the sidelines was that he was playing in the wrong position. Walker, who was on the court at the fourth position, was used to hit Li Wan at the third position. Three years in college allowed Brewer to learn to obey tactical arrangements.
"Fat Toutuo" successfully faced Li Wan with the ball outside the three-point line, and shot without any fake moves.
The ball flew straight to the basket.
Walker celebrated early and performed his ugly celebration "butt dance" towards Li Wan.
But before his fat ass "Duang Duang" could swing, the ball flying into the basket hit the left and right twice and flew out. Odom protected the backboard with a "pop" sound.
Watching Li Wan start walking quickly, Walker quickly stopped shaking and chased after Li Wan. He walked so fast that he almost stumbled, and looked a little embarrassed.
The Timberwolves successfully intercepted the Lakers' fast break.
Li Wan stood outside the three-point line on the left, looking at Brewer who kept taking small steps back and forth next to him, then turned his head slightly and glanced at Odom next to Walker on the baseline, raised his hand slightly, and pointed without leaving any trace.
Pointing to the position in front of the high post on the right, and seeing Odom nodding, he immediately started to move around Kobe on the left side of the arc.
"Qiu Qiu Qiu, it's your fault for being late!"
As Li Wan shouted, Kobe immediately handed the ball "hand to hand". Brewer asked Kobe to block it. Li Wan successfully opened the distance and Randy Foye came up to fill in. This was done by Li Wan.
In the speculation, Odom followed him in moving without the ball. When he reached the right side of the three-point line, Odom also came up in time to cover.
Walker didn't dare to step forward. Alcoholism had caused his physical condition to be worse than before. He was 33 years old and had the physical functions of a 37-year-old. If he went up, he was afraid that he would be passed by Li Wan.
Li Wan saw the opportunity and took advantage of Odom's screen to take an open three-pointer...
Missed!
0 out of 5!
It feels really cold tonight!
Fortunately, Li Wan didn't believe that he could score the goal. He rushed towards the inside as soon as he took the shot. Walker was not as fast as him, and the Timberwolves only had Al Jefferson inside.
He was very strong in grabbing rebounds, but the Lakers' Odom and Bynum were underneath, two on one, and the rebound belonged to the Lakers, and was given to Li Wan, who came in through an air cut.
This time, Li Wan didn't let the opportunity slip away and scored this layup!
"Man, you're not going to score 11 points in 5 minutes this way, are you?"
Kobe sneered from the side.
Li Wan stared at Brooke who was running over and replied: "You don't care how I do it, as long as I can get 11 points in 5 minutes!"
These words choked Kobe and he was speechless.
Walker once again tried to shoot a three-pointer against Li Wan in a misplaced position. Because he didn't score just now, the Lakers did not change their defensive strategy. Li Wan still switched defenses with Odom. Walker made a three-pointer and the ball was in the basket again.
After rolling half a circle, he fell out. The "butt shaking dance" stopped again in the middle of the twist, and his face looked as bad as if he couldn't poop.
Li Wan still made a move without the ball, and Brook followed him. Li Wan also took the opportunity to make a reverse run to misplace the position. Defense has never been Brook's strong point. When he reacted and Li Wan reversed, he could only follow
Walker switches defense.
"ball!"
Li Wan quickly gestured towards Kobe again.
Kobe always felt that something was a little strange, and quickly realized, no, if you don't reply to my message, I still have to be your "passer", right?
"Mamba" felt that he shouldn't have made this bet with him, which made this guy ask him for the ball so confidently.
Zeke Hearn also noticed this: "Kobe once again passed the ball to the Chinese newcomer. He seemed to like this rookie very much!"
