To be gifted is to be able to do whatever you want.

With the potential of ball possession coming to 82, the potential of mid-range shooting to 82, and the potential of three-point shooting to 85, Li Wan now understands why Olajuwon can become the NBA's champion after only two years of basketball.

Because two years is really long enough for a gifted person.

Take the current Li Wan as an example, in just 14 days, his ball control ability has risen from the original 35 points to 54 points, which has reached the level of the NBA's "water cooler" administrator.

The mid-range shot increased from 34 to 53 and the three-point shot increased from 30 to 49.

No wonder they all say that hard work is worthless in the face of talent.

is also training for 8 hours, compared with the turtle speed that has only increased a few points after working hard for several months, Li Wan's progress in this half month can be described as a thousand miles a day.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that he focuses on these two aspects, or it may ...... It's that he turns out to be so bad.

In the past few days of his training, the NBA free market has opened, and a lot of big transactions have happened, including what Li Wan knew, Kobe Bryant submitted a transfer application to management, and went around Chicago.

This caused a major earthquake throughout the league, and the headlines in recent days have almost all been him.

The optimistic Los Angeles media believes that the Lakers will complete a trade that will satisfy Kobe Bryant this summer, and he does not really want to leave Los Angeles; The pessimistic media is already analyzing what kind of chips Kobe Bryant got from the Bulls in exchange for not a loss.

An insider who did not want to be named said: "Lakers, you also have today!" ”

On July 10, Li Wan officially arrived in Las Vegas to join the Lakers Summer League team.

"You're finally here, man, and I was worried you wouldn't make it."

Phil Handy met with Li Wan and did not ask Li Wan anything, but asked Li Wan how to be comfortable.

"You can ask for the ball aggressively, I've told everyone that anyone who doesn't pass the ball to you will be replaced by me at the first time."

Unlimited right to fire...... Is it?

Li Wanzhen didn't expect that one day, he would be able to enjoy unlimited firing rights.

But it's normal to think about it, the original intention of Summer League is to allow rookies to adapt to the faster pace and more intense competition in advance. The 19th pick in the first round may not be a big deal in the NBA, but in Summer League it's a baby bump, and the team's focus is on development.

Just a little.

He doesn't seem to need to be aggressive to get the ball in order to have a chance to make a shot.

He didn't want the ball to leave his hand......

With his current level of possession, he is good enough to handle the summer league.

That night, Li Wan also saw the schedule of the Lakers' summer league.

The Las Vegas Summer League is fast-paced, with four regular season games in seven days and all games including the playoffs in 10 days. The Lakers' opponent in Game 1...... Pretty coincidentally, New York Knicks!

I didn't expect to meet Wilson Chandler so soon.

On the night of the draft, this guy provoked him twice intentionally or unintentionally, and his smug eyes at that time are still remembered by Li Wan. On the pitch he is not a generous person. What "a dog bites you, you can't bite it" is a crooked reason for him.

Bullshit, it bites me, I won't bite it's true, but can't I kick it yet?

However, it was someone else who really inspired him.

"Lee, I can see in you some spirituality that no one else has, that's really fantastic, there's no doubt that we're going to pick you, even including an upward trade draft pick, you can already look at houses in New York, you're going to be the rookie of the New York Knicks this summer......"

Little Thomas let Li Wan know that a man's mouth, a deceitful ghost, no matter how much he promises, he can't be trusted. No matter what the reason is, let him give up choosing himself, Li Wan wants to do one thing, let this dog regret it!

The next day came quickly.

The stadium of the summer league is very small, just in the rented field of the nearby high school, and there are only two or three thousand seats in the audience, but this seat is not enough for the audience.

Several online media came to the sidelines.

In the past, this was not the case, but now with the development of the Internet, the number of media has proliferated, which has given the Summer League a bit of exposure.

When Chandler saw Li Wan, he once again turned into a "crooked-mouthed dragon king" and looked at him so defiantly.

Li Wan felt that he was a little sick, and reached out to make an international gesture, successfully angering this guy.

Defeated subordinates, dare to be arrogant?

Chandler decided to give Li Wan some color and see.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers won the ball, Li Wan asked for the ball in the backcourt, dribbled through the half court, and when Chandler defended it, he still didn't pass the ball.

"Oh?"

Phil Handy was a bit surprised.

The scouting report clearly records that Li Wan has no ability to hold the ball, otherwise, he would not have specifically asked the rest of the Lakers to pass the ball to Li Wan.

But now looking at his confident appearance, it seems to be ...... Got the ball in hand?

The next scene on the field confirmed his suspicions.

Li Wan called his teammate's block, faced Nate Robinson who came up to the defense, and after a solid confrontation, he still dribbled steadily to the basket and passed to his teammate to score.

In this ball, although he didn't score himself, his ability to hold the ball was shown.

Although it was only the first round, it didn't say much, but Phil Handy had anticipation in his eyes.

Switching offense and defense, this Wilson Chandler waited for Nate Robinson to dribble across the halfcourt, clapped his hands for the ball, and "Little Potato" really passed the ball to his hands.

The New York Knicks' goal is obvious: to use summer league to get Chandler used to the rhythm of the NBA.

As soon as he got the ball, Li Wan quickly stopped in front of Chandler and didn't let him have room to dribble.

He's in the habit of studying opponents season, not to mention that Wilson Chandler is all too familiar with his rival before the draft.

Chandler, like him, was a tough guy in college and a weak defender in college, and with his explosive physicality, he was a very good wing protector.

The offensive end relies on explosiveness, and he can break through to layups and even dunks.

It's just that he doesn't have the ability to hold the ball, and prefers to catch the ball and shoot at fixed points.

Chandler did not panic, but started in a "triple threat posture" in an attempt to force Li Wan back. But Li Wan completely ignored his threat of breakthrough and interfered with him so closely.

Chandler had a doggy feel.

I'm all "three threats", isn't this guy afraid?

Li Wan: "Three threats"? "War trampling"!

He simply took a big step to the right with the ball, forced a breakthrough, and tried to rely on explosive power to pass in one step.

But as he moved, Li Wan also quickly moved sideways and continued to stand in front of him.

Under the confrontation, the ball fell from Chandler's hand, and Lakers teammate Marcus Williams on the side quickly grabbed the ball.

When Li Wan grabbed the ball, he immediately went down. Chandler chased after him, thinking that he could easily catch up, but he felt that Li Wan was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Give me the ball!"

Li Wan turned around to ask for the ball, and with a stronger power "motor", he ran at the front. Williams obediently did so, gave the ball away, and Li Wan rushed to the basket to dunk with one hand.

As he paused, Chandler closed the distance and jumped hard to chase the hat.

only to find ......

It's far away!

Why does this guy jump so much higher than me?

"Phew!"

In his gaze of disbelief, Li Wan smashed the ball into the basket.

In the defense, Li Wan did the same, incarnated as the "crooked mouth dragon king", and handed a sarcastic smile to Chandler.

I'm standing right in front of you, and you see how much I used to be!

"Your mouth twitched like that, didn't you?"
