Chapter 107
The Utah media also complained about "Little Fatty".
The sentence "If Deron is not in Utah, then he is definitely an All-Star starter", expresses their attitude.
And that's exactly what Deron Williams wants to hear most.
The whole state of Utah favors Deron, and Jerry Sloan is the same, which may be the reason. Later, Deron Williams became more and more arrogant, thinking that all success was his own efforts, and even thought that Jerry Sloan Lee Sloan limited him with the system, otherwise he could reach a higher ceiling.
To a certain extent, there is not much difference between Deron and the later "Small Steel Cannon" Lowry, both of whom are system players.
As for why Deron made 3 All-Stars, got two best second teams and fell early, and Lowry won an best third team, made 6 All-Stars, 3 of which were starters, even more so. Got the championship.
It may be that Lowry knows how much he weighs better than him.
It's just that they called for injustice for Deron, and the outside world's eyes were mainly focused on the forward position in the East, and the people who called for injustice for Kevin Garnett were one after another.
Over there in Los Angeles, "gongs and drums are loud, and firecrackers are blasting together", creating momentum for Li Wan!
The difference in votes between him and Steve Nash is not very large. As long as he increases his efforts, it is estimated that the second stage of voting will end, and he will be able to overtake Steve Nash immediately.
Although "Son of the Wind" averaged 16.2 points, 11.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, his demeanor is still the same, and he just won two regular season MVPs in a row, and the momentum is there.
But Li Wan is really the league's biggest surprise this season!
His fan-absorbing personality, his court style full of expectations, and his off-court affairs make him full of infinite charm...
It is normal for such a person to play in Los Angeles and start the NBA All-Star!
Even though, he is still a rookie who has only played for two months.
Anyway...
Los Angeles fans think so!
Moreover, Li Wan has averaged 16.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks per game so far, shooting 43.1% from the field, 39.1% from the three-point range, and 83.6% from the free throw line.Only 1.6 turnovers per game.
This data is not compared with anyone, and it is still qualified to be an All-Star.
It's just that at the All-Star level, there is no advantage...
But is the All-Star comparison just about data?
Off-site popularity bonus is also very important!
Los Angeles fans: It's our holiday after all!
Seeing that Li Wan is so close to the starting lineup, most fans in Los Angeles have only one sentence in their hearts: take this as the only opportunity in this life, and help Li Wan squeeze into the All-Star starting lineup...
It's not just Los Angeles fans who think this way.
At home, it is also busy.
"You vote, I vote, brother will debut tomorrow!"
"If you don't do it, if I don't do it, Li Wan will be defeated!"
"You work hard, I work hard, and my brother will perform miracles!"
"If you don't vote, if I don't vote, when will Li Wan get ahead!"
……
Li Wan was so close to the All-Star starting, but they were overwhelmed with excitement.
No, the slogans are all shouted out!
It is said that the momentum scared the little sisters next door, Han Han Ha Ri, and they all complained: This is too fanciful!No, we have to step up our efforts!
No one would have imagined that the birth of Li Wan would accelerate the development of "fan circle culture".
This may be the worst influence Li Wan has had so far.
Of course, there is one thing, Li Wan can guarantee that he will not "collapse the house", so fans don't have to worry about whether he will have a friend from Guangdong.
Speaking of which, this is not only true of "Li Wan Bar", but also of "A Lian Bar".
Although the Arab League's rookie season has not been very good so far, it is much lower than everyone's expectations...
But, if you can see a Chinese player at the All-Star Weekend, that's one!
At this time, Huaxia fans still know that the guns are always open.
Li Wan remained calm about this matter. David Stern has not expressed his position yet, which means that the original change of the All-Star voting rules is very likely to happen again.
It is not Li Wan's style to have longing for uncertain things.
His thinking has always been not to hold too much hope, and when he really achieves his goal, he will say: This is actually nothing special...
It's just that the media thought he had already started to pretend.
This result...
Not bad.
The All-Star topic didn't get any explosive answers from Li Wan.
A reporter asked Li Wan what kind of expectations he had for tonight's matchup with Deron Williams: "What kind of performance do you think you will play, better than him, or worse than him?"
After the question, he added: "In the first stage of voting, Deron only ranked sixth in the Western Conference guard..."
The meaning of these words is clear and direct: no way, no way, no way the third can't beat the sixth, right?
Li Wan glanced at the guy's work ID, ESPN...
No wonder!
Li Wan once suspected that these hangers had been trained in UC.
Even if it's a big deal, it can make them mess up the city.
"One thing I can be sure of..." Li Wan looked at the reporter and said lightly, "Compared to my desire to beat Deron Williams, I think he wants to beat me now because I am ahead of him. "
"so……"
"You should interview the challenger and see what he thinks!"
Although he knew what the reporter was thinking, Li Wan still did what he wanted and began to pretend.
Mainly, he is very clear that the current him, in the eyes of Deron Williams, must be a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.
Since the relationship cannot be eased, it will simply deteriorate to the end!
With so many players in the league, they can't all be brothers, can they?
As soon as Deron Williams heard this, a fire rushed to his forehead, and he couldn't control it as if he had eaten mustard. He nodded with a sullen face and said, "yep, let's take a look, this newcomer What's the deal with it!"
Pick, challenger?
I am the absolute core of a team, challenge you a rookie?
Sorry for what you said!
"Little Fatty" is very angry...
The hostility of the Utah people towards Li Wan also reached a new height.
40 minutes before the game, when Li Wan came out of the visiting team's tunnel, he could clearly feel his ears buzzing.
Depend on……
Almost ringing in the ears!
Fortunately, it only came once in the regular season, and it would definitely be torture if it had to come a few more times.
Li Wan feels sorry for the other teams in the Northwest Division, because they have to come here twice every season just for the regular season, plus the playoffs, four or five times a year, which is exciting to think about.
If you change teams in the future, you have to stay away from the Northwest Division...
The fans' abuse filled Li Wan's ears, but this was what he was thinking about.
It's been two months since the season, and they've played "back to back" twice, and they also beat the Bulls and the Celtics respectively, especially the last one, which was still on the stage of the "Christmas Game".
Li Wan is not a pure newcomer who is just fledgling.
With experience, I am not so afraid of boos away from home.
Even though Energy Solutions Arena is the league's famous "Devil's Home Stadium", Li Wan's feeling is just... just so so.
It will affect it, but it won't make him lose his temper.
Kobe probably didn't think he had grown to this point. Seeing that he was still tying his shoelaces, he spat out disdainfully: "Is this because you were scared by the Jazz at home? Are you going to tie them until the end of the game?"
There is a kind of coldness that makes your mother think you are cold;
There is a kind of fear that makes Kobe think you are afraid;
Li Wan still tied the shoelaces firmly, stood up and stamped his feet twice, feeling that it was almost done, he tugged on the white wristband on his hand.
It is worth mentioning that as he played more and more games and his performance became more and more presentable, his wrist guard also attracted the attention of some reporters. They recorded that Li Wan faced different opponents in each game. Wristbands worn from time to time.
Yes……
Sometimes, these reporters are just so perverted!
Especially those male reporters, who are not interested in women's stockings, but are interested in his wristbands, and look like they want to do something on them.
Li Wan can't say anything yet, and if he does, he will be fined, really...
Free America!
They discovered some patterns from it. The color of Li Wan's wristbands would change with the color of the opposing team.
For example, today he was wearing a white one. When he played against the Rockets, he wore a red one.
What makes them a little strange is that it is rare to see Li Wan wearing green ones, for example, when he was playing against the Celtics, he was wearing gold wristbands...
The reporters felt very strange, and only after the interview did they know: Li Wan doesn't like green.
This aroused the resistance of some green protection associations: what did green do wrong, why don't you like green!
Fortunately, there are not many people in the association, and it did not cause any major impact.
Li Wan has also joined the NBA "weird" lineup.
However, compared to others, he vomited before the game and did not change his socks for a season. His "quirk" is clean and hygienic, giving people the feeling of two words: comfortable.
Deron entered the arena amid the cheers of the audience. He didn't look at the fanatical Jazz fans for him, but looked at the opposite bench for the first time.
That Chinese man...
He seemed to be telling jokes with his teammates, with a bright smile on his face.
whispering sound!
Deron gritted his teeth and warmed up.
Li Wan's smile gave him another reason to beat up this rookie!
The big screen at the scene gave the starting lineups of the two teams at this time:
Lakers: Li Wan at No. [-], Kobe Bryant at No. [-], Luke Walton at No. [-], Odom at No. [-], Kwame Brown at No. [-];
Although Bynum was wearing a jersey, he stared blankly at the name on the fifth position of the Lakers. A week had passed, but judging from the examination results, he still felt pain in his ankle for some unknown reason.
Jazz: Deron Williams at No. [-], Ronnie Brewer at No. [-], Kirilenko at No. [-], Boozer at No. [-], Okur at No. [-] position;
It was this lineup that tortured Dayao a little bit.
After 7 games in the series, the average field goal percentage is only 44%, which is a bit low for inside players.
However, if it is said that Yao Ming has dragged McGrady because of this, it is unnecessary.
麦迪在这7场比赛，场均25.3分5.9篮板7.3助攻，投篮命中率39.4%，三分命中率25.0%。拿着1690万一年薪水的他，效率真不比一年薪水1260万的姚明高。
Odom jumped to the ball for the team.
As soon as Li Wangang took the ball, it caused a "tsunami" on the sidelines.
Deron Williams looked at him with provocative eyes: "Come on, rookie, let me, the challenger, see the third place in the All-Star voting..."
Before he finished his trash talk, Li Wan had already thrown the ball to Kobe.
"Excuse me, what did you say?"
"Passing the ball? Tch, coward!"
Seeing that Kobe was about to play singles, Delong concentrated on flirting with Li Wan.
"That's what you said, you want to pass the ball, you are a dog!"
However, in just one round, Delong's mouth was as if covered with glue, and he was speechless.He really didn't know how to respond to Li Wan's words...
Is it true to say "I still use a pass to deal with you"?
Wouldn't it be a fact that he is a dog?
Where is the point guard who doesn't pass the ball...
But when he lost his voice, Li Wan spoke again, repeating the original words: "Coward!"
"Don't you dare to do the same?" Delong held back for a long time before choking out such a sentence.
Li Wan smiled, he felt as if he was arguing with a primary school student, and waved his hand: "You should go back and practice your trash talk!"
No fun!
It's boring!
It would be great if we traveled 15 years earlier, and the old men in the 90s still spoke better.
"Shh!"
On the court, Kobe on the wing made a pass and hit a mid-range two-pointer in front of Kirilenko.
Kirilenko is the Jazz's main force in limiting McGrady in the playoffs.
Also the league's top wing defender.
But in fact, his defensive efficiency is not very high when facing super outside scorers.
Take Kobe for example...
尽管基里连科有着连帽科比四个的辉煌战绩。但季后赛2人对战13场，科比取得10胜3负的战绩。在数据上，科比场均打出31分5.7篮板6.3助攻的全面数据，投篮命中率达到48.5%。
Therefore, some super giants whose hands and feet are restricted by Kirilenko should really reflect on whether they are super super stars...
If you really use "a certain moment" to talk about things all the time, then Millsap on the Jazz bench also has something to say!
Okur serves to Deron.
The cheers at the scene were so loud that "Little Fatty" looked like the king of Utah.
Just after he passed halftime, Boozer appeared at the top of the arc.
The Utah Jazz, since the day Jerry Sloan entered the coach, his style of play has not changed.
He has played pick and roll for 21 years, and he has also played for 21 years!
He, Sloan, can be regarded as the promoter of the league's pick-and-roll tactics, and has developed this tactic to another level. The "small pick-and-roll system" is basically the structure completed by him.Popovich's Spurs and other head coaches can see his shadow in the use of pick-and-roll tactics.
Seeing Delong slamming at Boozer from time to time, Li Wan immediately sneered, "Why, are you going to be a dog?"
Hearing this, Deron, who was about to pass the ball to Boozer to support him, took two steps back with the ball and asked his teammates to pull him away.
dog?
Ah!
He wants to single out Li Wan!
Play for fun, make trouble for trouble, don't make fun of the list of "Little Fatty".
Li Wan's expression became focused.
Deron Williams at his peak was also known as a "bare-foot terminator", known for his dribbling rhythm changes and double direction changes.
Most importantly, he has a solid body.
Even if he didn't shake the opponent away, when the opponent's center of gravity shakes, he can crush like a tank and complete the layup.
It was also this trick that made "58" lose his temper at all.
Li Wan knew that he couldn't defend alone, so he used his best defensive tactic: call someone!
Kwame Brown coughed knowingly.
Li Wan boldly blocked it, because there were people behind him, and he didn't care which way Delong went. No matter where he went, Li Wan blocked him on the right.
In this way, Delong "lied" Li Wan and rushed into the inside line, but behind Li Wan, another "big black man" rushed out. Under the interference of his long arms, Delong made a layup.
Okur grabs the rebound and misses a small floater that seems to be slowing down.
He is still more suitable for "cold arrows" on the outside.
Odom protected the rebound.
Fortunately, he was one step faster, otherwise, Boozer would have to grab an offensive rebound.
Phil Jackson didn't say anything. The Jazz were very aggressive in rebounding, averaging 3-4 more rebounds per game than their opponents.With Bynum absent and Kwame Brown on the court, it was predictable that the rebounds would explode tonight.
If the Lakers want to win tonight, they have to play efficiently.
"Is this your defense? I can't see you at all!" Deron tried to launch the "Trash Talk Challenge" again.
Li Wan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were constantly observing his teammates' running positions, and he replied lightly: "So, you scored a goal just now?"
"Then I still..."
Delong's expression froze, and he wanted to fight back, but Li Wan rushed with the ball without waiting for him to reply.
Come again?
Anyway, let me finish the trash talking!
Little rookies don't talk about Wude!
Delong reacted immediately, and stopped when he reached the edge of his mouth, almost biting his tongue.
There was a muffled "boom".
Delong, who had just moved half a step sideways, bumped into the "iron plate". This time, his teeth really bit his tongue, and his expression suddenly became painful.
Li Wan has already rushed into the inside to challenge Boozer, and pulled the space to the left. Kwame Brown understood, used his mobility to overtake Okur, and entered the inside ahead of time.
When the ball arrives, Kwame Brown dunks with both hands.
"fxxk you!"
Clenching his fists with both hands and shouting, Kwame showed a fierce look on his face, but when he got in front of Li Wan, he raised his hand and gave Li Wan a high-five.
Kwame Brown doesn't know much, but his pick-and-roll quickness and ability to defend against pick-and-rolls are among the top in the league, thanks to his excellent physical fitness.
Okur bent down to pick up the ball helplessly. At this moment, he felt somewhat like Dayao at that time.
The pace is too slow, I really have more than enough energy.
The ball was given to Deron again.
As soon as he arrived in the frontcourt, Li Wan clapped his hands provocatively, asking him to single him again.
Deron Williams looked at Kwame Brown behind Li Wan, and then at Boozer who actively blocked him, and made up his mind: Forget it, let the dog be the dog!
He can shake the defender to make a shot, but after attracting supplementary defense, he has more choices to pass the ball to his partner.
Boozer is the "leading scorer" of the Jazz this season, averaging 21.1 points per game.
Deron pushed Li Wan away with his weight and gave it to Boozer who was about to come down. The "New Utah Shuangsha" completed the linkage, and Boozer scored the Jazz's first 2 points of the game.
"Anti-Bone Boy" is short and short, but as a power forward, his offensive skills are basically full.
"Hello, Goulong!"
Li Wan gave Delong a new nickname.
Delong almost couldn't help but ran away and punched Li Wanlai.
If Li Wan hadn't used such a combination of punches at Artest...
He must think that he can win, but if he loses, it will be a matter of his life.
Like Artest, who went on a variety show 50 years later, bragging about how fierce he was in the NBA, and the host suddenly said, "You have been beaten by Li Wan", I am afraid that he will be "dead" immediately.
He pretended not to hear.
Li Wan gave the ball to Kobe again, and continued: "To be honest, you are really good at being a dog."
Deron replied: "I thought it was you holding the ball now!"
"No way, are you going to compare team status with a rookie?" Li Wan looked surprised, "No way?"
Deron: ...
Why is this rookie's angle always so tricky?
"Your votes are higher than mine!"
"So popular, I'm also very troubled..."
Delong felt speechless, Li Wan suddenly started to run, and Delong was so frightened that he quickly followed suit, but Li Wan just made a false move, stopped after a tentative step, Delong ran too fast, and pulled away from him instead a little distance.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Kobe can't pass the ball!"
Li Wan comforted him, as if comforting a kindergarten child.
Deron: ...
"Shh!"
Kobe scored again, and when he returned to defense, he glared at Li Wan.
Do you have to take me with you when you talk trash?
Obviously he heard what Li Wan said just now.
Li Wan gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
Successfully harvested a supercilious look from Kobe.
Delong, who was completely at a disadvantage in the "talking" link, had a soaring desire to attack in the next round. Li Wan gave him a hard shoulder. To Delong's surprise, this time Li Wan actually kept pestering him, and did not completely kill him. Give way to Kwame Brown behind him.
This made Deron a bit vigilant, and hurried to find Boozer's position.
Turning his head and bumping into Kobe, he came around from the side and stretched his hand towards the ball in his hand.
Deron showed his dribbling ability and quickly changed hands, but he forgot that on the other side of him was Li Wan's long arm.
"Snapped!"
Successful steal!
Li Wan took the ball and went down quickly.
The Jazz came back very quickly.
There were at least two players in front of Li Wan, but the positions of these guys were not completely stable.
There are still chances for a quick break...
It's just that he can't handle it.
that……
It's up to you!
Come on, Pi, Kobe!
A cross pass, the angle is a bit wide, Kobe expected, when rushing, he slowly approached Li Wan, so he caught the ball in one go.
Flickering...
Kobe showed his "peerless waist" to complete the goal.
At the beginning of the game, we scored 6 points in a row!
Kobe is crazy!
6-2.
While returning to defense, Li Wan heard Jerry Sloan yelling and cursing: "Damn it, what are you doing?"
For such a Tieshuai, it is not necessary to score goals, as long as the tactics are played out!
But now, let alone the tactics, he plunged into the opponent's defensive trap, like a wild boar running around, falling into a hole covered with dry straw.
Can he bear it?
If he can bear it, he won't suffer 413 technical fouls in his coaching career!
Deron waited for the ball with his hips on his hips and said nothing. He was really upset at the moment.
Li Wan fanned the flames beside him: "Yes, can we play according to the coach's intention? You are so disobedient, Jerry, why don't you trade him to the Lakers for me?"
Li Wan said this with sincerity.
Leaving aside the city and the team, let's just talk about the Jazz's tactical system-the pick-and-roll plus UCLA's offensive tactics.
This is a system with the No. [-] and No. [-] positions as the core.
Among so many tactics in the league, it may be the "run and bomb system", which attaches so much importance to the number one position.
Delong is strong but strong, but the addition of the system to him cannot be ignored.
Sloan: ...
He looked like he didn't know what to say.
Anyone who has studied Li Wan's coaches can see that he is a very smart ball handler.It can well express the intention of the head coach.
No head coach would refuse to coach such a player.
Including the handsome.
When he led the assistant team to study the Lakers, his thoughts often went astray: If I came to coach Li Wan, what would happen to him.
but……
There should be no one who can't think about it, exchange the current Delong for Li Wan, right?
Wow, this new guy!
Really hot!
Sloan has seen a lot of people who like to talk trash, and this one is also a heavyweight...
Li Wan acted righteously, so his voice was loud!
The auditorium a little ahead can hear it.
Compared with the silent Sloan, the reaction of the Jazz fans on the sidelines was much stronger. One by one, they booed wildly and filled the entire venue.
Li Wan returned to his defensive position amid boos, waiting for Deron to move forward.
Delong didn't speak again this time, and looked completely serious.
Boozer moved in an arc this time, and he responded positively, leaning towards Boozer.
Okur pulled out to the three-point line on the other side, attracting Odom to chase him out.
Kwame Brown's attention is on Li Wan, ready to defend after the pick-and-roll.
But the moment he came out, Boozer turned handsomely and cut into the basket. Deron immediately gave the ball to his hands, and the latter made a layup to complete the score.
A typical Jazz UCLA offense.
Try to open up the interior space as much as possible, so that the fourth position has sufficient movement paths.
Then the [-]st and [-]th positions can judge their own style of play.
From this, it can be seen how much priority the point guard and power forward have in the Jazz's system.
In this round, Deron and Boozer chose to run back after the fake pick-and-roll.
"Oh, that's beautiful, Goulong!"
Li Wan taunted him as usual, but this time Delong just glanced at him and calmly returned to defense.
Then it was full of firepower. In the remaining 7 minutes and 15 seconds of the first quarter, he personally scored 6 points and sent 3 assists, but only made 1 turnover.
Under his leadership, the Jazz entered the break with a 28-25 lead.
"Rookie, you can't win with your mouth in basketball! Instead of talking trash, you really should practice your bad basketball skills!"
After Li Wan finished the first quarter, although he sent out 3 assists, he only scored 2 points personally.
As for Delong, plus the previous assist, he got a total of 4 assists. Both scoring and assists were higher than Li Wan's.
Li Wan smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
Deron: ...
Did I praise you! ?
I said that instead of talking trash, you should really practice your basketball skills, just to praise you for being good at talking trash?
WTF!
Isn't this rookie too thick-skinned?
Deron's good mood was swept away.
Boozer next to him looked at him deflated, and shook his head slightly. When will his partner realize that his mouth can't really beat Li Wan, or is it better to play with peace of mind?
Phil Jackson called people to the front, he seemed to have finally realized that the game had started, he took out the tactical board to write and draw, and while writing, he said: "We can't let this guy play so easily... ..."
The guy he was talking about was naturally Deron!
The first update arrives, there will be another update later.
