Chapter 55 It’s time for me to give this newcomer some help

"This kid is crazy, this kid is absolutely crazy!"

Barkley saw sweat breaking out on his forehead. Under the light, his whole face looked oily, like pig's head meat. He didn't want to run naked. He definitely hoped that Li Wan would perform well, but now, this was no longer just a good thing.

Performance, this is completely super high level!

This made his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He really couldn't believe that Li Wan was so hot tonight!

Again?

The audience was completely silent.

Denver fans looked at each other, a little surprised, with their mouths wide open as if they could fit two golf balls in. They looked at Li Wan, who spread his hands to defend himself and yelled "bitch", and even lost the courage to boo.

How dare you boo a monster like this? They are not as big-hearted as New York fans.

No way, no way...

Vujacic on the bench muttered to himself: I won’t continue to fight with Carmelo Anthony!

He couldn't believe that Li Wan was at that level, but Li Wan was in such a state that he had no choice but to believe it.

There is really no chance to compete with this guy!

However, what he was thinking did not happen. Li Wan's goal brought the game point difference to 22 points. Kobe no longer acted as a bystander and stood up and used his superb skills to gradually widen the point difference to 28 points.

It's almost 30 minutes.

George Karl looked at the Nuggets who had no fighting spirit on the court. In order not to affect the next game, he had no choice but to replace all the main players and announced the arrival of "garbage time" in advance.

Li Wan was also replaced at the end of the third quarter. He continued to be the main offensive force and suffered from "altitude sickness", which made him sit off the court for 30 seconds, still panting.

But now, no one would laugh at him for being a "physically weak chicken".

Li Wan's performance tonight left a deep impression on everyone who saw it.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 120-100 at home by 20 points, starting the new season with 4 wins and 1 loss.

Kobe scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in three quarters, shooting over 50% from the field;

Li Wan scored 11 points in the first half and 14 points in the second half. He also scored 25 points in the three quarters of "clocking out". In addition, he also had 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.

TNT's live cameras frequently showed the Chinese newcomer who went berserk in the third quarter. Kenny Smith had a look of helplessness on his face. Jr. Smith finally scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. His scoring performance was already in the new season.

The current high is a new high. His performance is not bad, but Li Wan's performance is too good. He is in superb form tonight, no matter who stands opposite him, I am afraid he will be unlucky.

Jr. Smith slipped through the tunnel of the home arena as soon as the game whistle sounded. At this moment, he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to use marijuana to numb himself.

The trouble he caused had to be wiped by someone. After Allen Iverson hugged Kobe, he walked towards Li Wan: "Well done, man, you are much better than I thought!"

Before the game, he cast a hostile look at Li Wan, which meant that he didn't take Li Wan seriously at all. But at this moment, all Li Wan saw in his eyes was emotion.

"Looking forward to the next match. Also, don't worry about things on the court. Jr didn't do it on purpose, he was just too excited!"

What Allen Iverson said was Jr. Smith's gesture at that time.

Li Wan didn't mind. Anyway, he fought back, and tonight he became the winner in terms of statistics and wins and losses, so there was no need to take it to heart.

The media captured the hug between him and Li Wan. On this night, this hug represented a lot.

Li Wan then returned to the bench to pack his things. Suddenly, Lakers staff members ran over and surrounded him. After questioning, they realized that this was Kupchak's arrangement.

"The outside is crowded with reporters who want to interview you."

This is to prevent Li Wan from falling into the "tiger's mouth" and leaving a handle on sensitive topics.

Li Wan was protected when he entered the visiting team's tunnel. The reporters were blocked by the staff and could only conduct interviews from a distance. Their questions were not surprising and were related to Li Wan's gesture.

Li Wan said calmly: "Someone attacked me like this, and I attacked him like this. If you want to ask anything, you should ask him first."

After saying that, he went back to the locker room to pack his luggage. The Lakers did not open the locker room today. When Li Wan arrived in the locker room, the staff also breathed a sigh of relief.

This night of great victory ended like this.

On the passenger plane heading to the next stop, Li Wan was still thinking about what happened today. It was not the conflict with Jr. Smith. The winner's calmness made him no longer need to hold on. Looking at the entire league, although Jr. Smith is

The league's famous "nerve knife", but now he is barely a second-rate player, and the feeling of beating him is not as good as playing against Allen Iverson at that time.

He was thinking about the outcome of this battle.

His physical problems were completely exposed in this game, which is likely to become the focus of other team's head coaches in the future. How to allocate his physical fitness has become his most important issue at the moment.

Also, although they scored 25 points in this game, the bottom line is that the Nuggets' perimeter defense was so bad. They basically got rid of the first defender and found the open space. There was no connection between the three perimeter players.

If in the next game, he is no longer so calm when running into open spaces without the ball, he cannot be anxious, because this is a normal phenomenon.

Even other teams will target his running habits because of his outstanding performance in running without the ball in this game, and it will be even more difficult to get out of the open space!

He must have such preparation and awareness.

The good news is that now that his ability to run without the ball and catch the ball is shining brightly, it is time to increase his personal offense with the ball. He can definitely defeat his opponents without a single measure!

In other words, he should be able to continue to be "powerful" for a while.

He was thinking about the problem. Kobe, who was wearing an eye patch not far away from him, was not asleep. He was thinking about today's game. He had not been as happy as he is today since he "broke up" with Shaquille O'Neal.

.

When he scored 25 points in this game, the point difference between the Lakers and the Nuggets was almost 25 points, and he was not tired at all today.

This made him re-examine the Lakers and the teammates around him. In three years, he seemed to have a good group of teammates around him. This team did not need him to carry the burden alone. Others

People can also help him take on a lot of responsibility. Of course, most of this feeling comes from the newcomer named Li Wan.

In the first game of the season against the Suns, he came on as a substitute and led the team to overtake twice; in this game, he withstood the opponent's counterattack, giving him enough physical strength to face the critical moment that required him to make the final decision.

And the game with the Wizards, the game with the Magic...

Kobe took off his blindfold and looked at Odom and others who were playing Texas Hold'em at the card table, and then at Li Wan who was carefully analyzing the scouting report next to him. He felt that he had the best player in the past three years.

A group of teammates.

The gap between the strength of the Nuggets and the Lakers is definitely not as big as shown today, but they did it today! Needless to say what this means.

Maybe, I should give this newcomer a little help...

He can definitely grow better!
