Big Apple City, Lakers' away game, Li Wan's home game, the game officially started.
The two lineups are:
Lakers: Li Wan at No. [-], Kobe Bryant at No. [-], Luke Walton at No. [-], Odom at No. [-], Kwame Brown at No. [-];
Knicks: Nate Robinson at No. [-], Crawford at No. [-], Quentin Richardson at No. [-], David Lee at No. [-], Zach Randolph at No. [-];
The Knicks' lineup this season highlights two words: offense, offense, or fucking offense!
And in terms of configuration, two shooting guards plus two fours form the flanks and inside line on both sides. The degree of deformity of the lineup can show the degree of Thomas' messing around in the Knicks over the years.
The Lakers took the initiative. Amidst the cheers, Li Wan held the ball across half court and came to the frontcourt. Facing Nate Robinson, who was 1 meters and under, his eyes drifted to the side a few times, and he raised his hand. shoot.
"Bang" sounded.
The Lakers' first iron of the game was made by Li Wan.
Sure enough, after staying with the "Iron King" for a long time, the "Iron" attribute will be affected.
Kwame Brown confronts Zach Randolph and grabs the rebound.
The future "Grizzly Bear", he really doesn't work hard now!
Looking at his current state of hanging, who would have thought that he could become the most competent leader of the Grizzlies team since its establishment?
Therefore, oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges.
The same lad, with a curly turban, is a craftsman, but if he wears a floral turban, he's a gangster, a West Coast singer.
Li Wan watched Kwame take the ball and quickly cut to the inside. When he entered the free throw line, the ball was in front of him. He took the ball and turned around, avoiding David Li Bai's short arm, and turned the ball back. scored.
2-0!
There was an overwhelming cheer at the scene.
I don't know, I thought it was such a wonderful goal.
All members of the Knicks auditorium became "Sun Zhengping".
Nate took the ball to the front court, showing his ability to disrupt the game, and he rushed with the ball. The only thing that stands out is: reckless!
But at this moment, the entire formation of the Lakers was standing firmly. He managed to get into the basket without seeing who it was, and the ball was taken away.
Zach Randolph, who was still unable to lift his spirits just now, now his eyes are shining, he was caught in the pinch between Kwame and Odom, grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around close to Kwame, and lightly Get the ball into the basket.
In this round alone, Zac's ability to lift weights with ease and perfectly combine strength and skill was perfectly displayed.
There are many top players in the league below the neck, and the representative name cannot be avoided without Zach Randolph.
Li Wan's next round of offense was given to Kobe, and he didn't intend to reveal his ambition to score 33 points as soon as he came up.
The enthusiasm of the New York fans made him play this away game like a home game. The problem that came with it was that the Knicks players regarded him as a thorn in their side.
If he shoots wildly as soon as he comes up, these guys will definitely target him deliberately.
If it was a defense of "it doesn't matter if you lose the game, as long as Li Wan can't score", Li Wan would definitely not get 33 points.
Kobe faced Ah Q, the only defensive player in the Knicks, and made an easy shot.
It was the Knicks' turn to attack again, and it was still Nate Robinson's attack. He wanted to win this ball by relying on the distance he flew in the air, but after flying for a long time, he found that Li Wan's long arm was still above his head.
This man is so long!
"Snapped!"
Li Wan easily overshadowed Robinson, and then he cooperated with Kobe. According to the pre-match agreement, Li Wan was given the finale.
6-2.
Li Wan scored 4 points.
The first two rounds of the Knicks are their normal style of play this season, and their biggest trick is that they have no tricks.
Also, if there is no such style of play, how can it be possible to occupy the position of deputy squad leader in the east where "the strong are like a forest"?
Seeing this, the face of "Zen Master" is no longer so tense.
After winning this game, the Lakers won three consecutive victories in the first three games of their "7-game streak".
At the same time, it will be a full week before Bynum will be reimbursed for the season. It seems that the crisis can be passed safely.
Thank you so much for this race!
In the first three games, they met the tenth in the East, the ninth in the East and the No.13 in the East...
This is going to meet the Eastern [-], so everyone can probably see what "Grandpa KFC" would look like if he was bald.
"Shh!"
With Li Wan hitting the last shot of the Lakers in the first quarter, the first quarter of the game ended. The Lakers, who played steadily and took the lead from the start, have been pressing the Knicks. From the 4-point lead at the beginning, until now, the advantage Came to 8 points.
The point difference between the two teams was also Li Wan's score in the first quarter.
Even though he deliberately hides his desire to score, he can't stand the protagonist tonight!
There were many more shots than usual. Unknowingly, he completed 7 shots in the first quarter and hit 3 of them, including 1 three-pointer and 1 free throw.
After a 2-minute break in the second quarter, Phil Jackson turned his head and asked with his eyes, and Li Wan came on.
There was another loud cheer at the scene.
At this time, the Knicks' substitute rotation was still there, and Li Wan met Wilson Chandler again, playing with the ball, and the latter had no temper at all.
In the summer league, he still had a slight advantage against Li Wan. In the preseason, he had no advantage. Now, with Li Wan's explosive power reaching 72 points, his waist strength At 74 o'clock, he fell into an obvious disadvantage in front of Li Wan.
Chandler, who averaged 7.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, is now at the level of an NBA substitute rotation.
With Thomas dismissed shortly after and New York enters the Donnie Walsh era, he will be heavily reused.
It is worth mentioning that, I don’t know if Li Wan is too brilliant, which makes him too mediocre. Even if 7 plus 4 is the normal level of the No. 17 pick in the first round, Thomas is giving him less and less playing time. Both have 19 minutes of playing time, and now he can only play 15 to 17 minutes per game.
The ball rolled into the basket, and the Knicks spectators howled again.
Li Wan slapped Chandler in the face and was able to touch their G-spot.
Thomas gradually replaced the team's starting lineup. During this period, Li Wan scored another goal, and his score reached 12 points.
33 points away, 21 points away!
Looking at Nate Robinson who returned to the field, Li Wan was not polite, and made another three-pointer.
The ball fell into the frame.
Nate Robinson, who is 1 meters high, can hit his knee when he jumps up.
In the first few rounds, Li Wan was still afraid of his small hands. After a few trials, he found that Nate really couldn't cover him, and he didn't seem to have any defense in his eyes.
On the contrary, there is a little more urging: vote, vote, hurry up, I have to attack too!
Everyone knows that the current Knicks are like a mess. Of course, "Little Potato" also knows that Thomas's get out of class is not at noon, it will be sooner or later, and there will definitely be a huge change at that time.No one knows what will happen after this change. His idea now is to get more data as soon as possible, so that even if he is traded to another team, he can still have a chance to compete for employment based on the data.
It is too difficult for a person with a height of 1 meters to be in the NBA!
This is why Nate Robinson is desperately participating in the dunk contest.
After scoring 15 points, Li Wan's "Nervous Knife" badge officially lit up.
When he took the ball to the frontcourt, he was not polite at all. After calling Kwame Brown to help with the screen, he pulled it up and shot. The effect of the "nervous knife" is to increase the offensive ability by 10%.
As Li Wan's strength in all aspects increased, this badge began to truly reveal its power.
Take Li Wan's mid-range shooting ability as an example. His current mid-range shooting ability is 71 points, an increase of 10%, which is 7.1. With this 7.1, his mid-range shooting ability has come to 78, which has reached the All-Star level. The barrier is over.
And this, except for Li Wan, no one knows!
Including the opposing defender.
They knew that Li Wan had a good scoring explosiveness, but they didn't know exactly what level Li Wan's shooting ability belonged to during this period.
As for Li Wan who knows his specific abilities...
Of course I am extremely confident at the moment!
"Shh!"
Easy hit.
17 points!
Seeing that there were more than 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Li Wan suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart: How about a 30-point half?
Everything went so well tonight.
The away fans are more enthusiastic than the home fans.
The Knicks' defense at this stage is weaker than he expected, and it is close to the nature of an exhibition game.
All of them just want to brush up the data on the offensive end.
However, it's quite normal. The Knicks averaged 7-8 points less than their opponents per game, and it became even more exaggerated after entering January, averaging as few as 1 points per game.
With such a loss of points, one can imagine how the defensive strength is.
Li Wan now is like Jennings in 09.
On the night they scored 55 points, the Bucks faced the Warriors against Curry and Monta Ellis.
The defensive ability of these two people is really "creeping dragon and phoenix chick" and "moment bright" compared with tonight's Nate Robinson and Crawford.
Jennings' rookie season data was 15.5 points and his shooting percentage was 37.6%. Li Wan's scoring ability must be higher than his.
Then brush!
Li Wan, who made up his mind, watched Zach Randolph complete the goal—this buddy also scored 15 points tonight, 2 points less than Li Wan.
In terms of brushing "statistics", this is an absolute master. Li Wan only catches teams like the Knicks and Raptors before he can brush like crazy. He can easily score 20 plus 10 every night.
Li Wan feels that how much Zach swipes every night depends entirely on what kind of data can get 1 million per year.
Tonight, he watched from the side, and also secretly "learned" a trick: pretending not to see his defender, which can save energy.
No, already scored 17 points, and Li Wancai was only panting slightly.
The feeling of not defending but attacking is really great!
It's a pity that it's only tonight, otherwise Kobe would have taken him to the side and yelled at him viciously: "Take care of your damned person!"
After figuring out the defensive bottom line on the opposite side, Li Wan quickly passed the ball to Kobe, and then strode past Nate in a big stride. When his shoulders were lowered against Nate Robinson, the ball returned to his hand again.
Inside David - Lee filled out.
Li Wan didn't avoid it at all.He deliberately found David Lee's side to break through.
Although Zach didn't defend, he was a natural "human wall" when he stood there. Although David Lee was motivated, he was too soft. When he confronted Li Wan, he was blocked as an insider.
Li Wan is not a defender who can bully people with strength.
"Dangdang!"
It's a pity that the layup failed to score.
Compared with mid-range shooting, Li Wan's breakthrough ability is not so good.David Lee protected the rebound.
It is worth mentioning that usually a player with a good rebounding ability is not bad in confrontation, but David Lee is an exception. Regardless of his softness, he can grab more than 11 rebounds per game.
Especially protecting defensive rebounds, he has a set.
Li Wan didn't want this round to end like this, he stretched out his hand to pat the ball, David Lee vigilantly hid the ball to his shoulder, behind him, Kwame Brown's small eyes were staring at him all the time.
Reach out quickly...
At this time, the benefits of small hands are reflected.
Switching to any other inside line, this must be a foul, but Kwame Brown stunned to poke the ball out.
Li Wan caught it quickly with his eyes and hands, and once again confronted David Lee and scored the ball.
When he jumped up, David Lee was still looking for the ball and didn't notice it at all, so the referee whistled and Li Wan got a 2+1 chance at the basket.
Thomas couldn't help covering his face.
Until this time, he had to admit...
He was fired for no reason!
What's wrong with this inside line?
Li Wan high-fives Kwame Brown.
The moment Li Wan saw him poke the ball out, there were only four words in Li Wan's heart: I am so relieved!
It's not in vain that he taught Kwame a set of "self-spiritual encouragement methods", and he often checked his homework. Now, at this moment when he needs help the most, he can even do steals!
Also gratifying is Phil Jackson.
Now he's probably willing to let Kwame Brown hold his baby.
He really didn't expect that Kwame Brown's manual was actually in Li Wan's hands.
Kobe watched Kwame high-five Li Wan with a smile, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Dog, you have changed!
He tried to motivate Kwame Brown a lot, but two years later, it didn't help.
Li Wan came, and the phrase "fxxk you" made him feel more and more present on the court.
It's hard not to be convinced by Kobe...
This rookie is still a little bit...
No, why!
Kobe was still unconvinced.
For others, it takes a step back to open up the world, but for Kobe, it takes a step back, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he gets.
Building a good relationship with teammates is a compulsory course for a leader.
Now that he didn't do it, Li Wan actually did it?
Doesn't this mean...
This rookie is really ambitious!
Don't leave after school, the grove behind the school is singled out!
"???"
Li Wan thought that Kobe was giving him a high five when he came up, but it turned out that the high five was a high five, because the look in his eyes somewhat displeased him.
Which muscle is wrong here?
Li Wan ignored him, walked to the free throw line, and hit the free throw steadily.
The score has officially reached 20 points!
30 points away from halftime, only 10 points away...
Li Wan's desire to attack was even higher.
22 points!
24 points!
27 points!
By the time the players on the New York Knicks realized that the Chinese rookie on the other side was about to make a big fuss, the entire Madison Square was surrounded by loud cheers.
From 20 minutes to 27 minutes, Li Wan only took 2 minutes and 14 seconds, which is the remaining time of his "Nervous Knife". After the "Nervous Knife" badge dimmed, he was only 30 points away from 3 points!
At the end of the first half, there are more than 3 minutes left.
Thomas watched Li Wan, who suddenly "exploded" scored 3 points in a row in the 12 minutes of the final result, increasing his scoring speed to 27 points in the halftime. The shock in his eyes unconsciously revealed that he himself created a lot of famous scenes The top star in NBA history, but at this moment, he was still shocked by Li Wan's performance tonight.
There are so many geniuses in the NBA, and there are endless newcomers at the historical level, but even in the long history of the NBA, Li Wan's performance so far in the rookie season is conspicuous enough!
Phil Handy's squinted eyes were also full of emotion.
When Li Wan came to the Lakers for trial training, he recorded by the side. When Li Wan played in the summer league, he was the team's head coach, and then the playoffs, regular season...
He has witnessed almost every transformation of Li Wan with his own eyes.
From being inconspicuous, he had to rely on the China market behind him to become the Lakers' choice, and now he is holding the ball in high spirits and rushing to his own 30 points in the half.
This kid, the speed of progress is really terrifying!
He is very clear that the Lakers will soon undergo a drastic change. This point Kupchak conveyed the opinions of the old Bass. Phil Jackson knew it, so he naturally knew it.
Li Wan is likely to become a link in the deal...
Although as an assistant coach, he has no right to speak, but at this moment, he only has one feeling: if he abandons Li Wan, it will be the biggest mistake for the Lakers!
"Defense, defend!"
"Pay attention to the location, pay attention to the location!"
The Knicks' players finally realized that if they didn't defend, there would be big problems!
They don't care about the team's winning or losing, but they must care about their own face. Let a rookie score 30 points in the half, this is really...
No face!
They had to defend the remaining 3 minutes and stop Li Wan from scoring 30 points in a single game.
"Come on, Li Wan, go on!"
In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith took off his coat and suit as early as Li Wan scored 23 points.The ghosts are screaming until now.
The 30 points he was looking forward to in a single game is finally coming!
After witnessing the regret that Li Wan fell short of 2 points and 3 points a few times before, he was very excited at this moment, and his commentary style changed from "sensible and boring Kenny Smith" to "Barkley style" next to him. .
And Barkley, who used to be dominated by exaggerated commentary style, became "sane" at the moment, and touched Kenny Smith's arm several times to make him not be so excited.
I'm so excited now, when Li Wan really scores 30 points, Barkley really doesn't dare to think about what will happen to this guy.
Kenny Smith just turned his head to look at him, and patted him on the shoulder instead: "Man, right away, the person who has kissed the butt will add another one!"
As soon as these words came out, the dead memory suddenly attacked Barkley, and he felt that he couldn't control how much he remembered. He stood up and shouted together: "Let's go Li Wan, score 30 points!"
At the moment of shouting, saliva splashed everywhere.
Memories flooded back. Bill Simmons laughed at him when he kissed the ass of a donkey.
This time it's your turn, little black boy!
Hurry up and wash your mouth clean!
They were already very excited, but there were many people in the audience who were more excited than them!
The whole court roared like a tsunami, Li Wan's face was full of momentum, he gasped for breath, but the hand holding the ball did not slow down the speed of the ball, and called Kobe to catch the ball from the flank, and he went to the inside Cutting tactics.
But this time he didn't go inside, but suddenly ran back and ran back outside the three-point line. Robinson reacted quickly, but his legs were short. Li Wan got the ball, made a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and shot immediately. Li Wan just entered this position when the "Nervous Knife" was opened, and Robinson was very aggressive in sticking forward.
"Dangdang!"
"beep!"
The sound of the shot hitting the iron sounded at the same time as the referee's whistle.
There was a sigh at first, and then it turned into a huge cheer.The appearance of bouncing around one by one, seems to be back to the time when they won the championship in 73.
No one knows why they can be so high!
It's just that they can be so high!
Perverted New York fans...
In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith is already slapping the table. Li Wan’s free throw percentage is 86.4% per game. Letting him make free throws is no different from giving him points. Coming to 3 minutes!
say!
Bill Simmons!
say!
If Bill Simmons hadn't worked for ESPN, TNT's rival, Kenny Smith would have called him right now to tell him to wash his mouth and prepare to kiss his ass.
Do you still dare to underestimate Chinese players?
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
The scene of the New York Knicks became more and more crazy. When Li Wan hit the first free throw, all the New Yorkers in the audience shouted "MVP" as if they were drunk!
Li Wan couldn't help turning his head to look twice. He really didn't expect that it was the first time in his career that he heard someone call him "MVP" under such circumstances.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wan took the remaining two free throws without hesitation, just as Kenny Smith thought.
30 points!
30 points!
Li Wan broke his career scoring record so far in a single game at halftime!
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
Nearly 2 people shouted at the same time, and Li Wan was like the owner of Madison Square, accepting the praise of believers.
Until this moment, the Knicks, who were playing at home, had to call a timeout. This was done to ease Li Wan's scoring rhythm, and also to calm down the bastard-like New York fans.
"Nice, buddy!"
Odom immediately walked to Li Wan's side and rubbed his head excitedly.
He thought that Li Wan's performance tonight would be very good, but he really didn't expect it to be so crazy.
"Are you going to run for 50 points tonight, kid?"
Ok?
What Odom said made Li Wan stunned for a moment.
50 points...
It seems that it is not impossible!
Originally, his idea was to score 33 points and complete the task.
But now, halftime is basically over...
He still has 2 quarters left. Although he lost the "nerve knife" badge, the Knicks' defense is here. As long as their seriousness passes, they will definitely start to play badly again.
After all, if they really had fighting spirit, they wouldn't be ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference.
A bunch of newcomers to the Bulls lost their spirits because of the betrayal of the management, and they are still ranked No.11 in the East, which shows how bad the No.13 in the East is.
The Knicks ended up winning 23 games this season.
It's as pulpy as O'Neill's grandma came to play.
The most critical thing is not their defense.
In the game against the Suns, Steve Nash was also "Chinese New Year's dumpling", but the opponent started to run and the pace was very fast, and Li Wan's physical fitness did not allow him to attack all kinds of onslaughts.
Today is different, the halftime is over, it feels almost the same as the usual 1 quarter...
After learning how to be lazy from Zach Randolph, Li Wan didn't take it seriously on the defensive end. In this way, he basically played one round and rested one round, maintaining ideal physical fitness.
Physically fit, in good shape, with poor defense on the opposite side...
Li Wan couldn't think of any reason not to continue scoring.
Moreover, under his "staring defense", the Knicks have been clinging to the score. Don't forget, Zach Randolph is also full and half full in the face of Odom and Kwame Brown's defense today. The game scored 20 points!
Then have a crazy "50 Cent" night!
Li Wan, who is drinking Gatorade, has bright eyes. His current age should be 20 years and 81 days. If he remembers correctly, the current "youngest Mr. 50 points" in the NBA is LeBron James.
As for how old...
When he returned to the locker room, he specifically checked: 20 years and 80 days!
If Li Wanzhen scores 50 points tonight, he will be one day away from the "youngest" record.
Although this record will be broken later.
But what a bonus 50 points in a single game is to a rookie!
Jennings relied on this 55 points in a single game to become the absolute core of the Bucks, even though his average shooting percentage in his rookie season was only 37%...
After scoring this 50 points, even if he is traded by the Lakers, he can definitely be reused in the new team.
Tai Lun's intelligence network is also available. When the Lakers management made moves, Li Wan learned from Tai Lun that he was likely to leave the Lakers.
He needs more chips.
It's not just the "nervous knife" attribute.
50 more points in a single game...
It could not be better!
At the end of the first half, Li Wan scored 32 points in the final half.Back in the second half, amidst the cheers of the audience, he continued to attack hard.Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought. Seeing that Li Wanzhen scored 30 points in the first half, the Knicks, who were serious players at the end of the second quarter, returned to the "statistics" mode at the beginning.
Li Wan scored another 10 points in the third quarter.
Nate Robinson, who was facing him, also scored 8 points in a single quarter.
Everyone is very happy!
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Kenny Smith got the news from the director: "Wow! An amazing record, if Lee can score 50 points in this game, then he will become the second youngest Mr. 50 points in the NBA, And it’s only one day away from LeBron James, the youngest man with 50 points!”
At the same time, the big screen of the Knicks was also informed of the news.
The New York fans were excited again, but Li Wan, who was about to play, scolded in his heart: *!
In order for him to score 33 points in this game smoothly, when the reporter before the game asked him how he would perform in this game tonight, it was rare that he did not pretend to be * and said "do his best".
When he made up his mind to get 50 points, he even gave up the trash talking. What he insisted on was to keep silent and take this "second youngest" record.
Now, with the on-site director doing this, all his hard work was in vain!
He can be sure that he will definitely be targeted again when he plays later...
No, how could a rookie do such a stupid thing!
For the Knicks players who have been booed by New York fans for a whole game, Li Wan is definitely the most envious player. How could they let Li Wan get what they want at this time?
Phil Jackson keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere of the game. Before switching back to the main team, he called a timeout to pave the way for Li Wan to score 50 points.
Everyone has no opinion...
The results of Li Wan's team operation after entering the league in September are fully reflected at this moment.
Odom considers himself his "big brother" and is extremely loyal;
In Kwame Brown's eyes, he is the only one now, even Kobe is almost gone;
Luke Wharton is a tool man in the starting lineup. After Li Wan reached a cooperation with him, he has always cooperated with each other and enjoyed it;
As for Kobe...
This guy knows how to compromise now since he learned a hand from Michael Jordan.
Of course, Li Wan also knows that tonight's cooperation will be the Toyota Center Arena at 4:[-] in the morning.
But the huge gain of 50 points is still worth getting up from the bed at 4 o'clock in the morning.
In this way, Li Wan, a rookie who has only been in the league for half a year and has only played in the regular season for two and a half months, has enjoyed the No. 2 or No. 07 pick in the first round of [-] since the fourth quarter, which is very difficult to enjoy. Player treatment.
Everyone on the field cooperated with him to score points!
Help him get this second youngest "Mr. 50" record.
However, even if all the players made dunks for him, it was not easy for Li Wan to score. After two or three minutes in the fourth quarter, he scored 3 points through free throws.
The guys from the New York Knicks were really ruthless. Everyone's attention was focused on Li Wan, and even Luke Wharton, who was in a big open position, directly emptied it.
They no longer defend with the goal of winning, but try to defend to prevent Li Wan from scoring 50 points.
The game gradually gets ugly.
For the next time, everyone in the Lakers team was trying their best to send the ball to Li Wan, while the Knicks and the others repeatedly double-teamed Li Wan.
This scene is very similar to the last moment when Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game, and it also resembled the last moment when Booker scored 70 points and David Robinson scored 70 points...
The final moments of these scenes are almost all the same.
Everyone revolves around the same guy passing and defending.
Those teams failed to stop Chamberlain, Booker, and Robinson, and the Knicks couldn't stop Li Wan from scoring 50 points.
1 minute and 13 seconds before the end of the game, Li Wan officially scored the first 50 points of his NBA career with a free throw!
When the ball went into the basket, everyone on the field, the Lakers and the Knicks, were relieved.
The noise from the scene, like the hot air when the cage drawer just came out of the oven, "boomed" and spread to every corner of Madison Square.
The crazy New Yorkers took off their shirts. Men and women, as long as they can jump and scream, are shaking and shouting desperately, like a big "wildy" scene, hey Get a batch.
New York fans who love to work hard also released their ultimate "big move" at this time. In the auditorium behind the Lakers bench, a row of New York fans pulled out the banners they had prepared a long time ago: Come to New York, Trash talker, the Big Apple is your home!
All the fans in New York knew that Thomas originally wanted to choose Li Wan. Now they laughed at Thomas, but it didn't affect that they already regarded Li Wan as their own family.
The game will continue, but no one cares.
When the buzzer sounded, everyone in the Lakers rushed to Li Wan immediately to celebrate the second youngest "Mr. 50 Points" in NBA history!
And at the end of the game.
Kupchak, who was far away in Los Angeles, hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
He just got off a call with Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace.
The Grizzlies made some changes this summer. Jerry West resigned due to physical and mental exhaustion, and Chris Wallace replaced him.
Often the change of the general manager means the beginning of the team's transaction.
Therefore, all teams that intend to change will pay great attention to the Grizzlies' movements in the new season.
Which, of course, also includes Kupchak.
Especially in the last week, the two of them had phone calls no less than 10 times, and the two sides made it clear: Chris Wallace said on the phone just now that he was considering sending Pau Gasol to the rest of the team. team!
Kupchak also expressed his desire to get Pau Gasol. ——Looked at each team, and now in Kupchak's heart, there is no better signing than Pau Gasol!
During the phone call just now, the two sides briefly discussed the bargaining chips that must appear in the transaction.
Needless to say, the Grizzlies are naturally Paul Gasol.
The Lakers here...
To Kupchak's delight, there was no Li Wan's name.
But two first-round picks.
Although Kupchak has known it before, the scouts of the Grizzlies have frequently been in and out of the University of Southern California since last November to investigate the 11 No. 08 pick OJ-Mayo. "The combination is very interested, so it is very likely that Li Wan will not be wanted.
Here we will focus on Chris Wallace, the new general manager of the Grizzlies.
He is different from the general managers of most teams in the league. He is not an industry insider, that is, he is not a coach, player or scout. He is a personnel director and once served as the personnel director of the Heat.
Because of this, his team building ideas are different from most general managers.
For example, he once sent Joe Johnson, a potential stock, to the Suns in exchange for two immediate combat powers, allowing the Celtics to successfully enter the final Eastern Conference finals.
This is also Paul Pierce's only trip to the Eastern Conference Finals before the Celtics formed the "Big Three".
In addition, he also has the failure case of signing Wen Baker's alcoholism and finally falling short...
Judging from his overall style, he doesn't care about the current performance of the players, he pays more attention to what the team needs.
The Grizzlies have Rudy Gay at the 3rd position, Mike Conley at the 1st position, and the more talented OJ-Mayo in Southern California...
Of course, Li Wan is not what he must have.
Kupchak felt like he had completely analyzed the psychology of Chris Wallace.When he thought that he might bring in Pau Gasol while keeping Li Wan, the corner of his mouth could not stop smiling.
Heh, the little "Zen Master" still wants to fight with me?
What are you fighting with me for?
With the deal done, Kupchak feels like he has a "lifetime contract"...
But before he could show his imagination, the phone rang again.
Or Chris Wallace.
"I have to add Li Wan's name to the transaction!"
The first words on the phone made Kupchak's smile freeze.
His silence made Wallace think of something: "It seems that you don't know yet, but soon, I think you will know... Newcomers from China must join our negotiations!"
The unquestionable tone in his tone made Kupchak's lips tingle.However, Wallace's words made him realize that something terrible should have happened, which caused Wallace to change his attitude.
The Lakers have a game tonight...
It seems to be hitting...
Knicks?
Kupchak glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer at the corner of the table. At 9:[-], the game should have just finished.
Did Li Wan perform well?
An idea came to Kupchak's mind, and Kupchak thought it was very possible.
But what kind of performance can make Chris Wallace call immediately after hanging up the phone and ask to add Li Wan's name to the transaction?
so eager...
30 point?
No effect.
35 point?
40 point?
Well, very likely!
Chris Wallace, a "cook" who has become a monk halfway, has never seen this before!
While he was muttering, the phone in his pocket rang. He picked it up and saw that it was BOSS's phone.
what's the situation?
Kupchak was stunned for a moment, and quickly said to Chris Wallace, "I still need to find out about the situation", then immediately hung up the phone on his side, took the phone, saw that it was the answer button, and then pressed it .
Chris Wallace's "go and return", coupled with the sudden emergency call of the old Bass, Kupchak felt that his hands were shaking slightly.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous!
"Suspend all transactions with Li Wan!"
On the phone, Old Bath's voice was serious and earnest, not like a temporary idea after drinking too much.
Kupchak was really stunned.
He is now sure that Li Wan must have played something extraordinary.
but……
What kind of performance is it!
It actually allowed Chris Wallace to quickly add him to the trading list, and Old Buss also called anxiously.
"Okay, BOSS!"
He agreed, and as soon as he ended the call, he called Phil Handy.
Now that the game has just ended, he is the only one who has time to answer the phone.
The bell rang three times, the phone was connected, and the voice on the other end was extremely noisy.
"Dude, what's going on?" he asked bluntly.
"Li Wan scored 52 points!"
Phil Handy was very loud, almost shouting, because there was so much noise next to him that he couldn't hear his own voice clearly.
These words were transmitted to Kupchak's ears through the microphone, and the voice suddenly became louder!
The sound is like a bell, and it's like thunder reaching the sky!
Kupchak almost lost his grip on the phone.
5... 52 points?
52 points!
WTF!
Kupchak finally understands why Chris Wallace and Bass are so impatient?
52 points!
A rookie scored 52 points in a single game!
Hey?
How old is Li Wan?
Kupchak immediately thought of the "Mr. Youngest 50 Points" record. He checked it online and found that he was 20 years and 80 days old.
Li Wan's birthday seems to be in October, right?
As a qualified team general manager, he must have a general understanding of the team's players' birthdays.
There is hope!
Kupchak checked again. Li Wan was born on October 10. In terms of conversion, he is 11 years old and 20 days old!
WTF!
Is it just one day away?
What difference is there!
Li Wan is the youngest Mr. 50 Cent!
After noticing this, Kupchak understands why even the old Bass lost his composure.
50 points has always been a watershed between super giants and stars, especially outside players, who have never scored 50 points, and are embarrassed to call themselves "super giants" when they go out.
Li Wan scored 52 points tonight, tantamount to touching the ceiling.
For such a newcomer, of course, how to deal with it should be more cautious.
What's more, the recent record of the Lakers is not bad, and the winning streak swept away the tense atmosphere. Old Buss also regained his sanity at this time and re-examined the next changes of the Lakers.
For Bynum to be reimbursed, there must be changes, but it is really impossible to come to a conclusion within a week or two.
Maybe Li Wan didn't know it himself, he scored 52 points in a single game, and directly postponed a deal that was about to happen.
Also after answering the phone, the person who changed his face was Bill Simmons.
Ten minutes ago, he just wrote an article "Ten Questions about China's Rookies", challenging Li Wan from various aspects. Because he was too serious, he didn't watch the game between the Lakers and the Knicks tonight.
He really looked down on Li Wan from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as he finished writing, he posted it on his blog, Twitter and various social spaces.
What makes him a little strange is that there are usually some netizens who agree with his point of view, but this time he just posted it, but what he got was all kinds of ridicule, and a lot of "Bill must not have watched the game!", "Everyone Don't tell him."
Just when he was wondering, his friend called him in a hurry.
"Hurry up, delete those silly words you wrote, Huaxia newcomer scored 52 points!"
"What, what? You're not kidding, are you?"
"It's true, man, that guy is crazy, he scored 32 points at halftime..." His friend was a little helpless at the end.
52 point?
5... 2 points?
Bill Simmons muttered, his face full of unbelievable shock.
He didn't even think it was possible for Li Wan to score 30 points in a single game, especially after he missed by a few points several times. Kenny Smith laughed at him during the commentary, and he really wanted to.
Kenny...
Kenny Smith!
Bet!
Bill Simmons suddenly remembered his bet with Kenny Smith.
Now Li Wan scored 52 points in a single game...
That is to say...
Do I have to kiss a donkey's ass?
As soon as this idea came out, Bill Simmons immediately thought of Kenny Smith and Barkley's ugliness when they kissed the ass of the donkey. Is it his turn to show such a ugliness now?
I……
Bill Simmons...
Going to kiss a donkey's ass...
Under the crowd of fans all over the country?
Bill Simmons panicked for no reason, then his hands went numb, his eyes blurred, and he fell on the bed with a "boom".
The room was quiet for a moment, only the anxious voice of his friend on the phone: "Bill? Bill? Bill, what's wrong with you, Bill?"
Seattle, the Sonics also have a game tonight, and they are going to face the Los Angeles Clippers.
The prefix of this team alone is enough for Kevin Durant to output desperately in this game.
In the end, facing the weak No.13 in the West, Kevin Durant, who is No.15 in the West, broke his single-game scoring record. He is now the one who scored 33 points!
hum!
Isn't it just scoring!
I got all 31 points, but I still can't get 33 points?
Those hanging people in Ohio, bow down to the unlimited output of my uncle!
At the end of the game, although the Sonics did not win the game, Kevin Durant returned to the locker room and took a sip of Gatorade, then stretched his legs, freed his scythe-like feet from the shoes, He plucked his ears, and then looked at the reporters surrounding him.
Well, you can start bragging!
A black reporter sniffed his nose twice, and an unpleasant smell kept coming into his nose, which made him want to frown.
"Kevin, do you know that the Lakers have a game tonight?"
Kevin Durant frowned, this is not a compliment to me, why mention the Lakers?
If this is the "Grim Reaper" ten years later, it might just be a blank stare.
Kevin Durant, who is still a "primary school student", nodded patiently, wanting to see what the reporter wanted to say.
Can it be more important than his career-high 33 points in a single game?
"Li Wan scored 52 points in the game between the Lakers and the Knicks tonight. Do you have anything to say about that?"
"w, what?"
Kevin Durant plucked his ears again. He felt that his ears were blocked by earwax just now, and he was hallucinating.
The reporter patiently repeated his words: "Li Wan scored 52 points in the game between the Lakers and the Knicks tonight. Do you have anything to say about that?"
"w, what?"
Kevin Durant stuck his finger in his ear hole again and gave it a hard stir.
No, why is there so much earwax in my ears tonight?
"Li Wan tonight...52 minutes..."
"what?"
"Li Wan..."
"what?"
"plum……"
After confirming it about six or seven times, Kevin Durant finally confirmed that he didn't have earwax, he had tinnitus!I need to see an ear doctor...
otherwise……
He heard, why is it that Li Wan scored 52 points tonight?
WTF?
real or fake?
52 point?
I don't know what's so good about that, but it's the Huaxia newcomer who was favored by Scarlett, who scored 52 points tonight?
Kevin Durant really doesn't want to believe it.
main……
He managed to catch up with Greg Oden's 33 points in a single game, but Li Wan directly scored 52 points!
This……
How to chase!
When Kevin Durant was in high school, because the arena was too far away and the coach was strict with him, he chose to give up basketball. It was his dear mother who gave him a "maternal love" and asked him to cover his mouth and start a new life. Picked up the basketball.
After that, he never flinched when it came to basketball.
At this moment, he felt that he was about to be slapped again!
