After the interview, all members of the Lakers team got on the bus to the airport. The atmosphere in the car was a bit dull. Even Odom, who usually talks the most, closed his eyes and meditated at this moment.

Next will be the Lakers' first "back-to-back" in the new season.

What is memorable is that Li Wan will meet Yi Jianlian in the first "back-to-back" game of his career.

The two of them have been compared together by domestic fans since the draft.

At this moment, on domestic social software, fans can be seen discussing this game everywhere. Most people are optimistic about Li Wan:

"Didn't you watch the game against the Nuggets? How can the UAE compare!"

"Li Wan's condition is actually unstable. Ah Lian was just injured before. After adapting to these games, he might be able to perform well again!"

"Take it down, are the Lakers' twin towers fake? Can Yi Yi be the opponent of these two? He should chew on the Green Arrow first and gain the trust of the head coach!"

…

These comments were sent to him through Twitter private messages by some good-hearted fans over the wall.

Li Wan was speechless.

Yi Jianlian has not been going well since he announced his participation in the draft. After endless negotiations with the Bucks, he finally got the promise of starting.

I thought everything was fine.

But Larry Kryskowiak thought that what the Bucks management promised had anything to do with my head coach. Yi Jianlian made it clear to him on the first day he entered the training camp and asked him to talk to Verano

Watts compete for jobs.

Yi Jianlian had already arrived in Milwaukee and had just gotten off the plane. Faced with this request, he could only agree.

After getting used to it, I scored 16 points, 19 points, and 15 points in a single game in the past few days.

It's a pity that at this time, he sprained his ankle again during training. He took two days off before coming back. His scoring in the last three games has returned to 6 points, 5 points, 5 points...

As a result, the situation was once again sluggish, and the voices of ridicule in the country gradually became louder again.

But Li Wan knew that this was not the end, but the beginning.

If nothing changes in the future, Yi Jianlian will be stuck in a "time loop" for the rest of the season, scoring more than ten or even twenty points in several consecutive games, then getting injured, then sluggish, and then again.

Play well and get injured again...

More than a decade later, when many people analyze Yi Jianlian's failure to gain a foothold in the NBA, the first thing they mention is his character, but in fact, constant injuries are also a big trouble.

It’s really a bad fate!

Li Wan didn't read any more, but read the news on the Internet about his game with Kevin Durant.

"The most powerful scoring machine after Michael Jordan, is this it? The Chinese rookie is obviously much more ruthless than him!"

"After watching this game, my biggest feeling is that Kevin Durant is a taller version of Ray Allen. He is destined to be left behind by Lee, just like Ray Allen was beaten by Allen Allen.

Fusen and the others keep their distance!"

"To be honest, after watching this game, I feel that if the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in November is not a newcomer from China, it would be too boring!"

…

Look, these "literary giants" are so good at talking.

Li Wan read it with great interest, especially when he knew that Kevin Durant was probably reading these comments at the moment, and maybe he even used a trumpet to reply, which made it even more interesting.

"Da da da da da!"

In a room in a single apartment in Seattle, the lights were turned off, and only a desk lamp was on beside the bed. Kevin Durant, who was as slender as a tall bamboo pole, was staring at the screen of his mobile phone intently, pressing his fingers quickly, making a sound like

Gatling, who was radiating blue light, had a serious expression, as if he was going through a war.

Li Wan guessed right. Kevin Durant returned home and was reading online comments about this game. He became more and more angry. He skillfully switched to his trumpet and began to output:

"Do you know how hard Kevin works?"

"I'm sorry, no matter how much you ridicule, Kevin Durant still leads the scoring list right now!"

"It's boring if it's not Li Wan? What you said is so interesting. Have you ever seen someone who averaged 20 points per game and failed to win the Rookie of the Month award?"

…

On November 22, the game between the Lakers and Bucks started.

After a few days of adaptation, Yi Jianlian re-adapted to the NBA game rhythm. He made several secondary attacks in the paint and performed very well. He scored 6 points at the end of the first quarter.

Unfortunately, at 4 minutes and 15 seconds of the second quarter, while fighting for a rebound again, he stumbled, sprained his ankle, and fell to the ground in pain.

Injured again...

It can be seen that the head coach of the Bucks is also very helpless. It is not that he cannot see that Yi Jianlian has potential and talent, but his body is too fragile and if he gets injured frequently, then all talk about talent and potential will be empty talk.

This "Chinese Rookie Derby" ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

The Lakers took away the victory from Milwaukee 95-87.

After the game, Li Wan saw the limping Yi Jianlian not leaving the field. He knew that Yi Jianlian wanted to say hello to him, so he walked up.

"congratulations!"

Li Wan performed very well in this game, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, without making any mistakes, and his shooting percentage was over 45%. For a rookie, you can't ask for more.

To be honest, he was envious!

It's not that I envy Li Wan's performance, but that he doesn't have injuries...

Yi Jianlian's voice was originally a "subwoofer", and because of his depression at the moment, his voice was even lower and a little unclear. Li Wan didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only persuade him to calm down and don't

Too anxious, recovering from injuries is more important, staying healthy is more important than anything else.

Yi Jianlian nodded helplessly. He felt aggrieved, but he had to accept the result.

On November 23, the Lakers visited Phoenix for a "back-to-back" visit.

This season's second game against the Suns, from the beginning of the game, it can be seen that the Lakers' status has been obviously affected by the schedule. They cannot keep up with the Suns' offensive and defensive transitions.

Fisher also sprained his foot during the pursuit and limped away from the scene.

In the end, the Lakers lost to their opponents 100-111.

The Suns got their revenge on their home court.

However, after the game, Kobe's expression was not too gloomy. He knew that losing in this situation was inevitable, and he could only blame the schedule.

Li Wan's game was extremely bad.

He made 3 of 10 shots from the field, 1 of 2 free throws, and only scored 7 points.

This is the lowest score he has scored in a single game since entering the league.

There were also 3 turnovers.

It was the first time he was facing "back-to-back" and he was not used to it. Coupled with his physical problems, the "Nerve Knife" badge could not protect him.

Li Wan did not think about his problems in this game after the game. In the past, he would look back and reflect, but at this moment, he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep.

He was so tired that he had no energy to think.

The media seized the opportunity and ridiculed him again. "ESPN" columnist Bill Simmons wrote in his article: "As the season progresses, the biggest problem of the Chinese newcomer has been exposed. He is becoming more and more...

It's becoming more and more unstable, and soon he will be knocked back to his original shape!"

His column has had a considerable influence on the NBA media industry, and many media outlets have begun to look down on Li Wan.

What was completely unexpected was that Kenny Smith, who had just been slapped in the face, stood up and shouted to him from a distance: "I bet the Chinese newcomers will get better and better!"

He is now just like Barkley back then, completely convinced of Li Wan.

In his opinion, Bill Simmons just wants to kiss the donkey's ass.

What Kenny Smith didn't expect was that Bill Simmons actually jumped on his opposite side and asked him what he was betting on. Kenny Smith said: "Then let's follow the old TNT tradition, whoever loses kisses the donkey's ass!

"

Good guy!

This has become an "old TNT tradition"!

Bill Simmons was a little hesitant and didn't dare to take the initiative.

Kenny Smith’s trash talk followed: “I knew this coward wouldn’t dare to gamble!”

As soon as these words came out, Bill Simmons did not hesitate: "Then come!"

He really thinks Li Wan is not good, just like he thinks Yao Ming is not worthy of being the No. 1 pick in 2002.

In the end, the two people agreed that as long as Li Wan can score 30 points in a single game this season, then Kenny Smith will win, and if not, then Bill Simmons will win!

Now the fans in the United States were excited, and the domestic fans on the other side of the ocean were even more excited. They all shouted, asking Li Wan to treat Bill Simmons to a "donkey meat butt show" again.

They have been unhappy with this guy for a long time.
