Chapter 65 Rookie Wall

Li Du is trying every means to improve his basketball skills, but it is not so easy to find a path that suits him to improve. Not to mention Li Du, even players who have been playing in the NBA for many years may not be able to find it. You must find your own path.

Just when Li Du immersed himself in basketball, other teams seemed to have found a way to deal with the Lakers with Li Du through their performance against Li Du and the Lakers this season.

After several consecutive games, Li Du's role on the court became less and less critical!Although under his defense, no matter who the opponent is, it is still difficult to score, but the teams with the team's second outside core will no longer be dominated by Li Du alone as they did at the beginning of the season Big mess.

As a result, the Lakers lost against the Hornets, Pacers, and the Jazz for the second time. They only won a big victory against the Clippers in the same city and vented their anger.

With the poor record of the Lakers, the media began to question Li Du and the Lakers.Many commentators said in their articles that Li Du's ability is overestimated. He may be a strong defensive player and an excellent running shooter, but he can only be used as a role player for the Lakers and cannot Can't be the key player for the Lakers to win.

The Lakers' lineup this season still has obvious flaws, and their strength has not increased much compared to last season. Li Du's strong defense made everyone mistakenly think that he is the biggest surprise of the Lakers and even the entire league this season.But it turns out that he is still just a rookie, maybe a very strong rookie, but he is not the cornerstone of the Lakers' rise this season as everyone expected!
The comments of the "Los Angeles Times" were very objective. They did not smear Li Du, nor did they ignore Li Du's shortcomings because Li Du was a local player in Los Angeles.

In an article titled "A Fantastic Rookie Hitting the Rookie Wall", they said: "Lee's strength is unquestionable. He quickly gained a foothold in the NBA with his magical defense that can see through opponents, and once became a headache for every team. From this point of view, as a player who has just entered the NBA, Lee is successful! He is indeed worthy of the title of a magical rookie. Lee's current strength is enough for him to be respected by everyone in the NBA. If he leaves the Lakers, I believe that every team will open their arms for Li!"

"Similarly, no matter how amazing Li Du is, he is just a rookie player. When he first entered the NBA, Li Du caused countless teams and players a headache with his defense. It’s not as thorough as it is now, and I haven’t thought of a way to deal with him. Now, as the season progresses, each team has found a way to deal with Li Du! Like many rookies, after being thoroughly studied by the opponent, Li Du The role in the game will be reduced accordingly. This is the law that has always been in the NBA!"

"Now, Li Du has hit the rookie wall. As Los Angeles fans, we can only hope that Li Du can break this rookie wall as soon as possible and make himself stronger! Li Du is a very smart player, I believe he can solve this problem!"

Li Du is very troubled. With more and more games, each team has more and more thorough research on themselves, and his role in the team is getting smaller and smaller, but his progress is too slow. Techniques such as stop jump shots and post-up singles are still in practice and cannot be applied on the court!

When Li Du and the Lakers coaching staff were worrying about how to use Li Du to maximize Li Du's effect, on December 12, the Lakers played against the Eastern powerhouse New Jersey Nets at home.In this game, Li Du met his favorite super guard, Jason Kidd!

During the warm-up, Li Du ran up to Kidd regardless of recklessness, and said excitedly to Kidd: "Senior, hello! I have loved watching you play since I was a child. Can you take a photo with me after the game?"

Li Du's "nightmare for opposing players" has swept the league. Of course Kidd knew him, but he didn't expect that Li Du was still a fan of his own. At that moment, Kidd smiled and agreed: "Of course, Li! Unexpectedly, you, known as the 'nightmare of opposing players', actually like me to play, this is my honor! Thank you!"

After getting Kidd's consent, Li Du returned to his own half and began to warm up.Kobe looked at Kidd and asked Li Du: "Li, do you know Jason?"

"I don't know." Li Du scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I just liked his playing since I was a child. When I saw him this time, I went up to say hello and asked for a photo with Senior Kidd."

Kobe smiled. Li Du is indeed still a rookie, and when he meets a star he liked before, he is still like a fan.Suddenly, Kobe's heart moved, and he asked Li Du mischievously: "Li, otherwise, after the opening, you go to defend Jason, how about it?"

"I'm fine, but will the coach arrange this?" Li Du didn't know what Kobe was thinking, so he agreed immediately.

"I'll talk to Phil!" Kobe laughed and said, "You just have to try your best to defend and don't make it easy for Jason!"

Li Du spread his hands and said, "Okay, I will try my best!"

Watching Li Du start to practice boxing and adjust his state, Kobe smiled secretly in his heart and thought to himself: "Li, enjoy the wonderful time of beating your idol!"

Under Kobe's suggestion, sure enough, the Zen master arranged for Li Du to defend Kidd, Kobe for Carter, and Odom for Richard Jefferson. The three of them wanted to block the Nets' Trident!

Since Vince Carter joined New Jersey in the 04-05 season, the Nets have been one of the top teams in the East. Compared with when Kenyon Martin was in the Nets before, their offensive range is wider and the offensive rhythm is more open and smooth. , and the scoring efficiency is also higher.

Especially driven by Kidd, the triple-double king, the fast-breaking three-headed monster composed of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson is even more difficult to guard against.

Last season, Kidd averaged 13.2 points, 9.8 assists, and 8.7 rebounds. The Nets not only had Kidd's comprehensive data, but Carter was the same, but he was more offensive. He averaged 22.3 points and 5.6 assists per game. , and 6.8 rebounds.

Jefferson is the offensive finisher, but he also averaged 19.7 points, 2.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game.

The horror of the Nets lies in this!All three of them, each one is well rounded!Moreover, Carter is still a terrible player called "half man, half god" by fans for dunking!
It will be more difficult for the Lakers to stop the Nets' offense tonight than in all previous games!
