Coach Lee

Chapter 478 An Unfortunate Event

In the four consecutive games at the end of January, the Nuggets scored a 1-4 record.

In four games, the Nuggets came out with a Mask Man.After putting on the mask, Hamilton went crazy for four consecutive games, scoring at least 30 points in each game, and his performance was very eye-catching.The mask is like magic.

And Hamilton also beat Tim Duncan to become the best player of the week.

Wang Dazhi's shooting has also changed a lot.In these four games, Wang Dazhi only took about 5 shots, which is very few. However, his shooting rate is only 34%, and he can score 4 to 5 points in each game.

After all, Wang Dazhi has just started training for a thousand shots, and the effect will not be so fast.

Wang Dazhi's shots decreased, but Billups's shot increased to about 15 times.

Billups was a bit restrained at the beginning, and he still looked for his teammates to get more balls.If it weren't for Li Nan's yelling on the field, this guy would still want to continue to pass the ball to his teammates.

After one game, Billups finally started taking more shots.He also gradually dared to attack the opponent's position with a single fast attack, dared to make human moves in front of the opponent, and dared to shoot jump shots in front of the opponent.This is Billups more confident performance.

Ben Wallace's defense is still very good, and it feels like this year's best defensive player is a sure thing.On the offensive end, his role is no longer just to cover and grab rebounds, he can sometimes pass unexpected balls.Of course, his shooting is still the same,
Li Nan's performance in these four games was average, averaging 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.Li Nan's number of shots is no longer an exaggerated 30+, but has been reduced to about 20 times. He gave up some ball rights to his teammates Hamilton and Billups more.

He was helping Wang Dazhi find his shooting status before, so why wasn't he also helping himself find his shooting status?His shooting percentages in the previous seasons were frighteningly high, and he has not been able to adjust back to his best this season so far.Now that Hamilton's efficiency is finally there, it's time for Li Nan to start adjusting himself.

And because of Li Nan's adjustment, Li Nan's competitors quickly caught up and even surpassed the past in the scoring list.

1. Allen Iverson, 31.5 points

2. Tracy McGrady, 30.2 points

3. Li Nan, 29.8 points

4. Vince Carter, 29.7 points

5. Shaquille O'Neal, 28.8 points

January is passing quickly, and February is coming soon.

In early February, the league first announced the player of the month: Allen Iverson

Single-month statistics: Averaged 36.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.2 steals per game. The 76ers had an excellent record of 1 wins and 10 losses in January, helping the 5ers stabilize the No. 76 position in the Eastern Conference at the end of the month.

On the day of February 2, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Kobe is back!
Bryant returned for the Lakers' road game against the Nuggets.

Before the game, Kobe did not forget to make a provocative phone call:
"Li, I'm back, you wait to be beaten!"

That night, the Pepsi Center Arena was a little more lively, and it seemed that there was a 75% attendance rate.Is there a purple-gold "intruder" in the middle of the light blue jersey in the stands? It really is a lot of O'Neal and Kobe fans.

Inside the black phalanx, Zhao Mingming and Diana also looked resentful.

"Diana, I don't like this place, the people here are too unaware of the home team."

"Me too, sometimes I wish that the cake would smear their faces."

Denver fans may be the kindest fans that other teams think, but in the eyes of some hardcore fans, Denver fans are unqualified fans.There is even a lot of grass in them, and the wind blows slightly, and they will fall to and fro on both sides.

The two big girls were talking, when Zhao Mingming suddenly pointed to the front and shouted excitedly: "Ah, Diana, look!"

Of course Diana saw what Zhao Mingming was pointing at.

a cake!
The Rocky Lion, the Nuggets mascot, wandered the stands grinning with a cake in his hands.

"Is this someone's birthday?"

Diana doesn't know why Zhao Mingming is so excited, it's just a cake, what's the fuss about?

"No, it's not!" Zhao Mingming secretly whispered something in her ear.

Diana suddenly smiled, "Really?"

Zhao Mingming nodded.

Then, the two big girls also stared at Rocky Lion, looking forward to the next wonderful moment.

At this time, the big screen on the scene was also aimed at Rocky Lion, watching where he was going next.

The Rocky Lion with yellow hair, blue and white trousers walks a step or two, poses a pose, and interacts with the audience.

Stop-and-go, the Rocky Lions stopped next to a Lakers fan wearing No. 8. The Lakers fan was a young guy in his 20s.

Seeing the mascot coming, he also interacted with the enthusiastic Rocky Lion in a friendly manner, and the two even danced together.

Then, the Rocky Lion said to the Lakers fan, "Lucky friend, I want to congratulate you, you are the first lucky spectator today."

Lucky viewer?The Lakers fan was also pleasantly surprised.I didn't expect the Nuggets to be so friendly at home, and there are even gifts for them. I will come again next time!

Facing the camera, the Lakers fan also said loudly:

"Thank you, thank you, I love the city of Denver so much, and the arena at the Pepsi Center is simply my blessed place!"

Then, Rocky Lion quickly delivered a gift, "Here, this is a lucky cake for you. After you eat this lucky cake, you will definitely be favored by the goddess of luck for a lifetime."

"Thank you."

When the little brother took the cake and secretly admired how friendly the Nuggets are at home and the Rocky Lions are so enthusiastic, a large piece of snow suddenly blurred his eyes.

Mmmmm~~
The sad boy was very depressed, but the rocky lion next to him turned around, his butt was facing him, his tail was shaking and shaking, and he was overjoyed.

In the stands, the Nuggets fans also laughed,

"Ahahahaha~~~"

Zhao Mingming and Diana were also rocking with laughter.

"Our Nuggets are not easy to mess with at home!"

"That's right! No one wants to be presumptuous at our home court!"

Many purple and blue jerseys were quickly put away.

After all, the Rocky Lions just said that this is the first lucky fan tonight, which means that there are more than one fans tonight.
After a burst of on-site activities before the game, players from both sides quickly entered the field.

As soon as the appearance was over, the scene shots were first shown to Li Nan and O'Neill, the leading stars on both sides, and then a close-up was shown to the special characters on both sides after a while.

Hamilton of the Nuggets, Kobe of the Lakers.

wounded on both sides.
Hamilton wore a mask on his face, while Bryant wore a protective gear on his right hand.

Yes, Kobe, who came back tonight, has not fully recovered, and his right palm is still injured.However, he still chose to come back, and he was in a very strong mood to come back.

Phil Jackson originally disagreed, but after knowing that Kobe had worked hard on his left hand for more than a month in order to come back as soon as possible, Phil Jackson also let go.

Now the Lakers really need Kobe.Not only in terms of combat effectiveness, but also because of the mental outlook of the team.

Like O'Neal, the core of the team who is lazy in training and wants to rest more when he is injured, Phil Jackson still prefers Kobe.Of course, if it comes to issues such as strength and the core of team building, O'Neal is of course Phil Jackson's best choice.

On the court, Li Nan and Kobe held hands together.

"Kobe, you don't have to come back in such a hurry."

"I can't wait! Lee, look well, I'm going to surprise you today."

"What's so interesting about you being a second-degree disabled? Lie down obediently, and I'll let you go."

"Hen~ It's still uncertain who will let who go."

Beep beep beep!
The starting players of both sides play.

Lakers:
Ron Harper, Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox, Horace Grant, Shaquille O'Neal

Nuggets:
Chauncey Billups, Li Nan, Richard Hamilton, Wang Dazhi, Ben Wallace

.

When the game started, Kobe really surprised Li Nan.

Left hand!

Snake breakthrough!

Kobe tricked Wang Dazhi with Li Nan's tricks.

Kobe's left hand is a bit demon!

Although Ben Wallace tried his best to make up for it, he was one step short after all.

Kobe made a light layup.

Beautiful!
"yeah!"

Many traitor fans at the scene sent their voices.

However, of course Li Nan would not be so silent, turning around, Li Nan responded with a snake-shaped breakthrough!
After using this breakthrough to attract O'Neill, Li Nan was not greedy, and gave the ball to Ben Wallace.

Air Relay.

Ben Wallace made a dunk over O'Neal's head, hung on the basket for a while after the dunk, and put his feet on O'Neal's head.

Because of this, the two sides almost fought.

Every time Ben Wallace plays O'Neal, the starting spark is inevitable!Of course, today is not a surprise.

The small conflict quickly passed under the coordination of the referee, and the game continued.

O'Neill has just been teased, so naturally he wants to take revenge on the inside.

Overturn the river!

O'Neal is the strongest center of this era, bar none!

As long as he is allowed to get a position inside, the ball can basically be given up.

Although Ben Wallace has amazing arms, but just about to let O'Neill take the position, Ben Wallace is also helpless.

However, O'Neill has returned from strength to strength, but the most outstanding player today is not him, nor Li Nan, but someone else.

The Lakers just scored one, and the Nuggets immediately counterattacked and came back.

In the half-court battle, Billups dribbled the ball in a high position, and the other four started to move while covering each other.

Li Nan bypassed Wang Dazhi on the flank, and Billups immediately passed the ball over.

Li Nan passed Grant who was defending in one step, and went straight to the inside.

O'Neill quickly blocked it, but Li Nan took the ball out.

Near the free throw line, Hamilton had just come around with the help of Ben Wallace's screen, and the ball arrived.

Receive the ball comfortably and pull up straight up.

The defender's Rick Fox reached out to Hamilton from the edge.

However, Hamilton's stern eyes only have the basket!
Focus!

Hamilton is exceptionally focused!
Over Fox's head, shot.

Whoosh!
Go in!

"Yeah, good shot!"

The fans in the stands gave warm applause.

On the field, Hamilton helped the mask on his face, watched the goal calmly, and did not respond to the applause and cheers of the fans in the stands.

Isn't this goal justified?Nothing to be happy about at all.

What Hamilton wants is to win the game!

However, when he returned to the backcourt and saw Li Nan giving a thumbs up, Hamilton grinned.

"Brother, you pass it well!"

Hamilton thought he was able to get back to his state so quickly, no, it made his state better, which is all thanks to Li Nan.

Off the court, D'Antoni, the assistant coach, was a little confused.Since Hamilton brought the mask, the whole situation has completely changed.

"Coach, how did Richard adjust this? It can't really be because of the mask that Li sent, right?"

D'Antoni also couldn't help asking.

Old Jim smiled, "The mask can give Richard a sense of security and allow Richard to concentrate! Of course, the most important thing Richard can adjust is because of Li."

"Because of Lee?"

"If you come early every morning, you'll see."

what did you see?Come early in the morning?
Sure enough, D'Antoni arrived early the next morning, and he finally knew why.It turned out that Li Nan and the others took turns to do targeted "blocking" training on Hamilton every day, and Hamilton's sense of fear naturally dissipated quickly.

However, what surprised D'Antoni even more was that the young people on the team started training at 7 o'clock.This also made him sigh: it is not without reason that some people can succeed.

On the court, the game is still going on.

For the Nuggets, Li Nan's shooting percentage was not very good today, and he used more of a sudden scoring style of play.He sent a lot of assists to his teammates, and he is very likely to set a new record for his assists today.

Li Nan's shots decreased, and Hamilton benefited the most.Today, Hamilton is indeed in good condition. As long as he gets the ball, he dares to shoot. As long as he dares to shoot, he dares to score.Not only mid-range shots and layups, but also Hamilton's three-pointer today.How to vote and how to have.The Lakers couldn't stop it at all.

On the side of the Lakers, Kobe just came back today, still wearing a protective gear on his right hand, but he played the most aggressively.When the team was leading, Kobe was very serious and serious.When the Lakers fell behind, Kobe was even more meticulous and worked very hard.

And although his left hand is not as awesome as he said, it is already very good.He can also score with his left hand on high pressure defenses.

This also surprised the commentators on the scene.

At the end of the game, the Nuggets, who played at home, won.

102-108
Field data:

After the game, Kobe also ran to Li Nan to show off.

"Lee, I scored 35 points! And with my left hand!"

Li Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dude, I only played for 35 minutes today, and I just sent my little brother Richard to beat you all over the floor."

Kobe pouted.

Li Nan said it was simple. In fact, Kobe knew how many opportunities were created by Li Nan's sudden points. If it weren't for the threat of the Lakers focusing on Li Nan, how could Hamilton have so many opportunities?
However, Kobe didn't say this, but changed the subject, "Li, it won't be long before I will catch up with you. The scoring champion is mine."

Seeing that Kobe was so embarrassing, Li Nan suddenly said seriously: "Kobe, I said I released the water because I saw you get hurt today, do you believe it?"

"Hehe~~" Of course Kobe didn't believe it, "Li, we are still good brothers if you don't pretend."

"Well, Kobe, you played really well today."

Hearing Li Nan's words, Kobe smiled happily.

However, at this time, Li Nan changed his tone, "But, I have something unfortunate to tell you."

"what news?"

"Not everyone can win the scoring title? You have to participate in at least 70 games."

Kobe: .
