Chapter 7: Who Are You?
Chandler didn't respond to the taunt, he was still thinking about Li Wan's fast-break dunk just now.
Before the draft, he fought against Li Wan in the trial camp of the New York Knicks, and he shouldn't have such physical fitness!
Phil Handy was also slightly stunned, and immediately found Li Wan's physical test data. This was left over from Lee Wan during the Lakers tryout on June 14.
It has only been about 1 month, and his physical fitness has improved significantly?
In fact, Li Wan has not focused on improving his physical fitness.
The reason why he looks like he's athletic better than he used to be is because of the longer and more resilient Achilles tendon.
A more powerful "engine" can naturally start faster.
Chandler's physical fitness is also at the upper middle level of the league, and it is normal not to catch up with him.
As for the bounce height......
Li Wan's height of 2.02 meters is already taller than Chandler, coupled with his excellent arm span, it is easy to misunderstand that he can jump so high.
Nate Robinson held the ball and hit one, faster breakthrough speed and stronger body, although he was only 1.75 meters tall, he forced the counterpoint, playing like the "LeBron James" in the No. 1 position.
Now he is playing at this level, and it is really not very challenging.
He shouldn't have come in the first place......
Nate Robinson was a rookie in '05 and came off the bench with the Knicks last season, averaging 10.1 points per game. At the start of the new season, he was a third-year student.
In the summer league, most of them are marginalized and undrafted.
He's here, a bit of a "dad beating his son" feeling.
Switching offense and defense, Li Wan still took the ball in the backcourt and dribbled through half the court by himself, and Chandler looked at him no longer with contempt at the beginning.
After experiencing one offense and one defense at the beginning of the game, he can clearly feel that Li Wan has grown a lot.
Is that the benefit of entering the league at the age of 19?
Growing so fast......
Chandler has been practicing a lot in the past month, but at the age of 21, his physical condition is basically formed, and his playing style is gradually set, and he can't feel any change in himself after a month of practice.
Li Wan's progress made him a little jealous, there was still one and a half months before the start of the new season, and the devil knows how much stronger he would be when the new season met.
Chandler, who came up with a tough defensive attitude, made it a little difficult for Li Wan to dribble.
However, he still protected the ball well and waited for his teammates to pick it up.
Judging from his ball-handling performance in this round, Phil Handy is somewhat convinced that his ball-holding level has indeed improved, although it has not yet reached the point of being very proficient, but Li Wan couldn't hold the ball at all a month ago.
The rate of progress is fast enough.
If he knew that Li Wan had raised his dribbling to this level in half a month, he would have been surprised.
"Bang dang!"
The ball left Li Wan's hand and never came back, this is the summer league.
The Lakers' offense in this round ended in iron.
"Little Potato" looked for a chance to give Chandler the ball, but Lee was smart enough to grab the position early and deny Nate Robinson an easy pass.
Nate, who tried to no avail, attacked on his own, and once again went to the basket himself and scored a pick-and-roll.
Compared with the pass just now, he is much more decisive when attacking with the ball. He was originally a master of disrupting wars, and letting him organize attacks at a glance belonged to Deng Chao to make his own movies. - Scrapped.
Chandler followed the example of Lee Wan and tried to grab the position in advance and not let the Lakers pass the ball to him, and Lee Wan, who noticed this, pretended to get close to Marcus, who was holding the ball, but while reaching for the ball, he quickly walked to the basket and ran without the ball. Chandler was thrown out of the way for an early grab. By the time he caught up again, Li Wan had already received the ball and shot.
Cic......
That's definitely not going to be there!
Chandler was confident and ready to rush for the rebound.
Unexpectedly, the ball fell into the net in response to the sound, and it went in very simply.
In, in?
Chandler was stunned and looked at Li Wan, who had once again incarnated as the "Crooked Mouth Dragon King", and couldn't believe it. Phil Handy was still holding Li Wan's scouting report, and when he saw Li Wan throw into the middle distance, he showed the expression of the old man looking at his phone.
- Lack of scoring means, lack of consistency in mid-to-long-range projection from the outside.
This doesn't get ......
That's good!
While Phil Handy was watching the scouting report, Li Wan played another offense, still the same catch-and-shoot shot, and the ball went into the basket again.
Who are you!
Chandler would love to ask.
I'm more physical, I'm able to dribble, and I'm able to catch the ball and shoot from mid-range......
Is this still the same Li Wan?
What a change!
Phil Handy threw the scouting report to the staff next to him, and at least in this game, this report on Leewan, was inaccurate.
It can shoot suddenly, and it has explosive power......
Chandler was a little more hesitant when defending Li Wan.
Li Wan, who played "A Wolf", decisively called the left side to block and dismantle, but when his teammates came up, he did not go to that side, but from the right side, holding the ball and entering.
In the confrontation, he put the basket into the frame.
6 points in a row!
At this time, there was still more than 1 minute left before the end of the first quarter......
It may sound like six points in a row isn't crazy, especially since it's a summer league stage.
But when this happened to Li Wan, a guy who averaged 6.6 points per game in the NCAA 06~07 season, it was a little incredible. Summer League is undoubtedly more intense than the NCAA.
Moreover, the defender of him is Chandler, a 21-year-old rookie with very good immediate ability.
Being able to play such a performance in the summer league with higher intensity can only show that Li Wan has improved.
In fact, he did improve.
Phil Handy stood on the sidelines and was already able to say at least 3 points about the changes in Li Wanhao.
Li Wan, who opened up on the offensive end, continued his form and scored another 6 points in the second quarter.
By the end of the half, he had 12 points in his hands.
In contrast, Chandler, who is characterized by instant combat power, only scored 5 points in the first half. Not even half of him.
It's just that in the fourth quarter of the game, Li Wan's scoring efficiency became lower because of his physical fitness, and the frequency of mistakes became higher. By the end of the game, he had 18 points on 8-of-19 shooting, 2-of-2 free throws, four rebounds, four assists, five fouls and five turnovers.
The Lakers also lost 86-95 to the New York Knicks.
Nate "Little Potato" Robinson scored a game-high 24 points, and he really "quacked" on this stage. If Li Wan remembers correctly, he is still the ultimate MVP of this summer league.
Chandler, who won the game, was not happy, and left with his head down as soon as the game ended.
At the end of the game, he barely scored double-doubles, scoring 10 points, but the shooting percentage was an ugly 3-of-10 shooting, plus 6 fouls and 7 turnovers.
He didn't play like a 21-year-old NCAA junior at all, but like a "four-star" high school student who had just graduated from his senior year of high school.
Before entering the passage, he secretly looked for Li Wan's figure, wanting to say a cruel word to him in his heart, but when the two looked at each other, Li Wan had already turned into a "crooked mouth dragon king", smiling with one hand on his waist, waiting for him to turn his head!
Chandler was like a rat at the sight of a cat, and his steps out of the arena were a little faster.
