Basketball: Start with the nerve knife

Chapter 8 Domestic Compliments
"This is Li?"

"This is Li?"

"WTF!"

"Could this be Li?"

At Madison Square Garden, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas watched the video of the game just passed from Las Vegas, and slapped the table hard.

He took out Li Wan's scouting report and called the scout who wrote the report: "Dude, is this called inability to hold the ball? Is this called inability to shoot? Is this called lack of offensive means?"

Three questions in a row. The scout on the other end of the phone was busy from last night until 3 pm. When Thomas called, he was sleeping. He was stunned to ask him directly. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "What?"

"You fucking watch this summer league game you just finished, and then read your scouting report, and you'll know what I'm talking about!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone violently, because it was too hard, the hung up phone bounced again,

"fxxk!"

Thomas has made many decisions that proved to be wrong, but he has never been so upset as he is now, because he changed his mind temporarily in the last ten minutes and chose the more secure Chandler.

If Li Wan succeeds in the end and is much more successful than Chandler...

hiss~
OK!
Thomas didn't read any more, just glanced at the post-match data sent along with him, and closed his eyes in despair.

No, can the gap be so big?
Which of the two of them is a 21-year-old rookie with outstanding immediate combat power!
After thinking about it, Thomas took out his mobile phone and called Chandler. He tried to calm down his tone and asked softly, "Dude, what's going on today? It's not you, I know very well, your The strength can definitely play better!"

"I, I, I..." Chandler hesitated for a long time, "I need to get used to two games, yes, get used to it, and although I don't use this as an excuse, I seem to have eaten something wrong today. I have been feeling uncomfortable, so the state is a bit poor..."

"Is that so?"

Thomas' trademark smile returned to his face.

"It's okay, hey, buddy, I believe you can definitely play better, it's just a summer league, don't worry about it, adjust well, and play the rest of the summer league."

"Okay, coach, I will adjust as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest!"

Thomas reached out and hung up the microphone lightly, his expression was not as upset as before.

Chandler's game was just unwell, which gave him hope and room for imagination.

and……

"This is the summer league, and it's just the first game. Who knows, is his state normal, or is it just a flash of inspiration like that lore?"

Thomas tried to look on the bright side.

Phil Handy also thought so, but he was not pessimistic about Li Wan, but out of caution. As a qualified chief assistant coach of the Lakers, he couldn't rush to call Fei Wan just because of a game. El Jackson, telling him that Li Wan's shortcomings have been improved by himself in many ways.

He picked up Li Wan's scouting report with great interest and read it carefully page by page.

He has read this report at least a hundred times, and he can memorize it by heart.

But now, he was as focused as if he were reading the report for the first time.

He wanted to know why there were so many changes in Li Wan in just one month, which greatly compromised the accuracy of this scouting report about him.

"I only started playing basketball in the third year of high school..."

"Is that the reason?"

Because the time he has been in contact with basketball is too short, he needs to improve in many aspects, and he has two talented teammates, Oden and Conley, in college. He is destined to have little chance to show off on the offensive end.

That's why he hasn't developed the ability to hold the ball?

"It seems to make sense!"

Phil Handy's eyes gradually brightened.

If this is the reason, then Li Wan's potential is much greater than the average 19-year-old rookie!
It's understandable to progress so fast!

Li Wan didn't know that Phil Handy had started to "dimorph", otherwise he must have looked at him with approval: "You are so accurate, I am a genius, I can improve so fast, it is completely impossible I rely on myself!"

He was quite satisfied with his performance in the first game of the summer league.

In addition to physical calculation errors. ——At first, he thought that his 50 points of physical fitness should be enough to play in the summer league.

But after the game, he realized that the rhythm and fierceness of the summer league were much fiercer than he thought.This is exactly the real-life version of "The Hunger Games" shot by Gary Ross.

Of course, it was also related to the fact that Chandler was facing him tonight, and Li Wan himself continued to attack for a long time.This is the first time he has enjoyed the "unlimited firepower", so he is inevitably a little addicted to it.

Early the next morning, Li Wan got up and went to the arena. On the way, he used his mobile phone to check the news for a while, but he couldn't find any reports about the summer league after searching for a long time.

For the media, the reporting value of the summer league is not as good as "Nowitzki caught a fish in the sea".

Including the high-traffic Los Angeles media.

All their thoughts are now on the negotiations between Kobe and the Lakers management, and they have no time to take care of others.

Also, if Kobe does go to the Bulls, what good does it matter how good you are as a rookie in summer league?
Li Wan played the next two summer league games without anyone paying attention, and his performance is getting better and better.

第二场夏季联赛他拿到了20分，第三场夏季联赛他再度砍下了21分，连续两场拿到了20＋。虽然这两场他的犯规数跟失误数仍然是居高不下的6犯规5失误以及5犯规5失误。

Phil Handy didn't care about his two problems.

The pace of the summer league is so fast. Due to the non-stop watch and the lack of tactical cooperation, in terms of offensive and defensive transitions, it can't even compare with the NBA regular season.

Mistakes are normal.

Especially since Li Wan is just a 19-year-old rookie.

There was a lot of coverage domestically about his Summer League performance:

"Take another 21 points, Huaxia teenagers show their adaptability! "

"This rookie is a bit fierce, Li Wan averaged 20 points per game, galloping in the summer league! "

"The outside hope of the Huaxia men's basketball team is actually him?Li Wan's performance in the summer league exceeded expectations! "

……

All kinds of compliments almost blow him to the sky.

Originally, domestic fans and the domestic media had no idea about the summer league. They thought it was a place where a group of undrafted players competed. The intensity must be very low, and it must not be comparable to the CBA.

Well, there were fans in the domestic media during this period, because Yao Ming became the top center in the NBA, and Yi Jianlian was selected with the 6th overall pick in the first round, which really swelled to a certain extent.

Only now, they don't think so.

In order to prepare for next year's Olympics, the Huaxia men's basketball team, except Yao Ming, and everyone else including Yi Jianlian, who was just selected with the 6th pick in the first round, participated in this summer league.

I thought it would be easy for the national team to play this level of league without Yao Ming, but after three games in the summer league, the Huaxia men's basketball team didn't win a single game.

Yi Jianlian showed his immature side in the confrontation between the high-strength teams.

Wang Zhizhi averaged about 17 points per game, which is already a thigh-level performance in the team.

No one thought that without Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team would have difficulty even playing in the summer league...

At this time, Li Wan averaged 20 points per game in the summer league, and his super firepower was higher than that of Wang Zhizhi. How can we not impress the domestic media and fans!
In the midst of domestic discussions, the Lakers also ushered in their fourth game in the summer league. Their opponent is none other than the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team!
