"This is Lee?"

"This is Lee?"

“WTF！”

"Can this be Lee?"

At Madison Square Garden, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas slammed the table as he looked at the video of the game that had just been transmitted from Las Vegas.

He took out Li Wan's scouting report and called the scout who wrote it: "Man, this is called no ability to hold the ball?" Is this called no shooting ability? Is this called a lack of offensive means? ”

Three questions in a row, the scout on the other end of the phone was busy from last night to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Thomas called, he was sleeping, and he was stunned directly, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "What?" ”

"Damn it, take a look at this summer league game you just played, and then look at your scouting report, and you'll know what I'm talking about!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone fiercely, because it was too strong, the phone that hung up bounced again,

“fxxk！”

Thomas has made many decisions that have proven to be wrong, but never has he been so annoyed for a moment, because he changed his mind in the last ten minutes in favor of the more secure Chandler.

If in the end Levan comes out, and is much more successful than Chandler......

Hiss~

Don't dare to think!

Thomas didn't look any further, just glanced at the post-match stats that had been sent along with him, and he closed his eyes in a little despair.

Isn't it possible to have such a big gap?

Which of the two of them is a 21-year-old rookie with excellent instant combat power!

After thinking about it, Thomas took out his mobile phone and called Chandler, and asked softly as calmly as possible, "Man, what's going on today?" It's not you, I know very well that your strength can definitely play better! ”

"I'm ......," Chandler thought for a long time, "I need to adapt to two games, yes, get used to it, and although I don't use this as an excuse, I seem to have eaten the wrong thing today, and I have been feeling sick before the game, so my condition is a little bit worse......"

"So?"

Thomas's signature smile resurfaced on his face.

"That's fine, hey, man, I'm sure you'll definitely be able to play better, it's just a summer league game, don't take it personally, adjust well and play the rest of the summer league games."

"Okay, coach, I'll adjust as soon as possible."

"Okay, then don't disturb your rest!"

Thomas reached out and hung the microphone back gently, not looking as annoyed as he had just been.

Chandler was just not feeling well in this game, which gave him room for hope and imagination.

And......

"It's summer league and it's just the first game, so who knows if he's the norm or if it's just a flash of inspiration?"

Thomas tried to think on the bright side.

Phil Handy thinks the same way, but he is not pessimistic about Leewan, but out of caution, as a qualified Lakers chief assistant coach, he can't call Phil Jackson with a roar just because of a game, and tell him that Leewan's shortcomings have been improved by himself in many ways.

He picked up Li Wan's scouting report with great interest and read it carefully, page by page.

He had read this report at least a hundred times and could memorize it.

But now, he's focused as if it's the first time he's reading the report.

He wondered why Li Wan had been able to make so many changes in just one month, which made this scouting report about him so inaccurate.

"I only started to get into basketball ...... my junior year of high school"

"Is that the reason?"

Because his exposure to basketball is too short, he needs to improve in many ways, and with two talented teammates in college, Oden and Conley, he is destined to have little opportunity to show on the offensive end.

That's why you haven't developed the ability to hold the ball?

"Seems to make sense!"

Phil Handy's eyes lit up.

If this is the case, then Li Wan's potential is much greater than that of the average 19-year-old rookie!

It's understandable that progress is so fast!

Li Wan didn't know that Phil Handy had begun to "Dihua", otherwise he would definitely look at him with a look of approval: "You see people are really accurate, I am a genius, I can improve so fast, it is completely on my own!" ”

He was quite happy with his first game of the Summer League.

In addition to the incorrect calculation of physical fitness. - Originally, he thought that his 50 points of fitness should be enough to play in the summer league.

But after playing, he found that the rhythm and intensity of the summer league were much more fierce than he thought. This is exactly the real-life version of Gary Ross's The Hunger Games.

Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that the person opposite him tonight is Chandler, and Li Wan himself has been attacking for a long time. It was the first time he enjoyed the "unlimited firing right", and it was inevitable that he was a little addicted to it.

Early the next morning, Li Wan got up and went to the stadium, and on the way he took his mobile phone to swipe the news for a while, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find a report about the summer league.

For the media, the reporting value of the summer league is not as good as the fact that "Nowitzki went out to sea and hung a fish".

Including high-traffic Los Angeles media.

All of their minds are now on Kobe Bryant's negotiations with Lakers management, and they have no time to think about anything else.

Also, if Kobe Bryant does move to the Bulls, what's the use of a rookie playing well in Summer League?

Li Wan played the next two summer league games without anyone watching, and his performance is getting better and better.

He scored 20 points in the second Summer League game and another 21 points in the third Summer League game, making it 20+ in two consecutive games. Despite these two games, his foul count and turnover count are still high, with 6 fouls, 5 turnovers and 5 fouls and 5 turnovers.

Phil Handy didn't care about either of these things.

The pace of summer league is so fast, due to the non-stop schedule, coupled with the lack of tactical coordination, it is not even comparable to the NBA regular season in terms of offensive and defensive transitions.

It's normal to make mistakes.

Especially Li Wan is just a 19-year-old rookie.

There has been plenty of coverage in the country about his performances in the Summer League:

"Score another 21 points, Huaxia teenagers show adaptability!" 》

"This newcomer is a bit fierce, Li Wan averages 20 points per game and gallops in the summer league!" 》

"The outside hope of the Chinese men's basketball team is actually him? Li Wan's summer league performance exceeded imagination! 》

……

All kinds of praise are about to blow him to the sky.

Originally, domestic fans and domestic media had no concept of the summer league, thinking that it was a place where a group of undrafted players competed, and the intensity must be very low, and it must not be as good as the CBA.

Well, the domestic media and fans in this period, because Yao Ming became the top center in the NBA, and Yi Jianlian was selected with the 6th pick in the first round, which did swell to a certain extent.

Only now, they don't think so anymore.

In order to prepare for next year's Olympic Games, except for Yao Ming, everyone else, including Yi Jianlian, who was just selected in the 6th pick in the first round, participated in this summer league.

thought that even without Yao Ming, it would be easy for the national team to play a league of this level, but after three games of the summer league, the Chinese men's basketball team did not win a single game.

Yi Jianlian showed his immature side in the confrontation of the high-strength team.

Wang Zhizhi averaged about 17 points per game, which is already a thigh-level performance in the team.

No one thought that without Yao Ming, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team would be difficult to even play in the summer league......

At this time, Li Wan averaged 20 points per game in the summer league, playing a super firepower higher than Wang Zhizhi, how can he not impress the domestic media and fans!

In the midst of a lot of domestic discussions, the Lakers also ushered in their fourth game of the summer league, and their opponent was none other than the Chinese men's basketball team!
