The decline in physical fitness affected the state, Li Wan failed to hit a good shot, and felt that the Knicks improved their defensive intensity, Li Wan's style of play was a lot of teamwork, and his containment allowed his teammates to score performances.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won the first game of the preseason with a 110-98 victory over the New York Knicks.

Li Wan played 28 minutes and 15 seconds, shooting 10 of 15, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

He made all 6 shots in the first half and scored 14 points!

Shooting 66.6%!

There were 3 mistakes.

However, two times occurred in the fourth quarter, when Li Wan's physical fitness was not enough.

This is understandable.

Anyway, Phil Jackson understood and was satisfied with his performance in this game, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You showed your ability and did a good job." ”

He added: "But it's only the first game of pre-season, you still have a lot of tests to go through, keep this momentum and you'll be a better player." ”

Li Wan nodded.

Phil Jackson is right.

He also knew that this was just a preseason game, and everyone didn't show their real skills, and he was in a really good state at the beginning of tonight, and after he opened the "Nerve Knife" badge in his hand, he felt even hotter and almost exploded.

It can only be said that this is a smooth race, and it is impossible to maintain such a height in the future.

He was mentally prepared for this.

Thankfully, he's in this form in a game where he needs to prove himself, and that's what makes him happy.

His gaze swept to the other side, just in time to meet Thomas's gaze.

Just now, the "smiling assassin" had been looking at Li Wan, and when he saw Phil Jackson talking to him with a smile, his heart couldn't be more sour.

Originally, at this time, he should have been smiling and encouraging Li Wan......

But who let him coax him in the draft!

He looked at Li Wan's data, his eyes were hot, and then he looked at Chandler's data, 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting in the early 30% range, and had 5 turnovers.

The whole performance was completely crushed by Li Wan, not to mention how shabby it was.

He felt that his chest was blocked with a breath, and he couldn't go up or down. When Michael Jordan named "the Dream Team and he didn't have me", he never felt so bad.

But he still had to comfort the depressed Chandler.

This game is just the beginning of his career, and the NBA has never been a place to talk about it, even if it seems that Chandler is much less talented than Lee Wan, not to mention the speed of improvement.

But his own ability is still good, and he can mix in this alliance.

Walked up to him, grabbed his arm tightly, let him get closer to him, and cheered up: "It's okay, Wilson, men, it's all like this, it's all like this for the first time, don't think that you can't do it, it will be fine later!" ”

Phil Jackson was already in an interview at this time, and said with an old look on his face: "I have already said, everyone will see a different him, and the biggest surprise in the rookie in the new season will be him!" And that's just the beginning! ”

His calm look made the reporter next to him couldn't help but ask, "Did you expect him to play like this tonight?" ”

I can predict a ghost!

Phil Jackson expects and expects Lee Wan to play well and become a better player.

But the "good performance" he thought about was different from what Li Wan showed tonight.

But when it came to his lips, it became: "We know very well what he is capable of, and he was the first person to be substituted by the Lakers tonight when they made a substitution, which proves that we are clear about his ability, after all...... He is something we have watched grow up step by step! ”

This remark caused an uproar in the circle of reporters at the scene.

At this time, they also reacted, the reason why they were so surprised was because the original Li Wan couldn't perform like this even if he was in good shape.

He can improve, in addition to his own efforts, there must be people helping him, this person ...... "Zen master" deserves to be a "Zen master", this ability to train newcomers is really too strong!

Phil Jackson was pleased with the results and ended the interview.

Kobe Bryant was also surrounded by reporters, and when asked about the rookie performance, he pouted disdainfully: "It's just a preseason game, if it's just a preseason game to win the championship, then I can build a house with a ring by now......"

As he spoke, he was still complaining in his heart: "Look at these guys who haven't seen the world!" ”

It's just that after the staff dispersed the reporters who were interviewing, he secretly walked to the familiar trainer and looked around with a thief's face, as if he was afraid that people would find out: "Do you have Li's contact information?" Give it to me. ”

The trainer was surprised, but quickly took out his mobile phone and gave him Li Wan's phone, Kobe Bryant looked at it and wrote it down, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked the trainer to keep it secret and not let others know about it.

Li Wan also knew Kobe's evaluation from the reporters who surrounded him, and smiled unseriously, in the preseason in front of stars of that level, it was really nothing.

However, today's performance really made him regain the heat he had when he hit the NCAA Finals.

Look at the crowd!

The Lakers reporter looked at his humble appearance, happy in his eyes and happy in his heart.

Who doesn't love a newcomer who has the strength and doesn't cause trouble?

After answering the questions, he returned to the locker room, pulled out his phone and saw the message Greg Oden had sent him.

- Man, you're rampage again, great tonight, see you tomorrow!

After a brief reply of "OK", he packed up and planned to go back, Odom also wanted to call him to go to a nightclub, this time he refused, tomorrow the Lakers will fly to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers, this will be the first away game of his NBA career, he wants to rest early,

Odom was not reluctant, he could also see that Li Wan, who was the third in the team in playing time tonight, was very tired, and the fitness of young people who had just entered the league was indeed a problem and needed to rest.

When Li Wan arrived home, Kobe Bryant had already arrived home.

Vanessa, with her curly black hair, greeted her with a smile in her black silk pajamas. KOBE CHANGED HIS CLOTHES AND WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE ROOM FIRST TO TAKE A LOOK AT HIS SECOND DAUGHTER, GIGI, WHO WAS BORN LAST YEAR, WHICH MADE VANESSA ROLL HER EYES, AND THE LITTLE PINK FIST "ATTACKED", AND THE TWO OF THEM CAME TO THE DOOR OF THE ROOM WITH A FIGHT, STOPPED CONSCIOUSLY, AND ENTERED THE ROOM IN A LOW VOICE.

Seeing that GIGI was already asleep, Kobe Bryant touched the little guy's pink face with his hand, poked a small hole, couldn't help but smile, and didn't bother anymore.

Back in the living room, looking at the basketball news on TV, he suddenly thought of Li Wan, who played brilliantly tonight.

Do you want to send a message to encourage Li Wan, a little newcomer?

He did really well today......

But come to think of it, this is only the first preseason game, so let's take a look!

Kobe Bryant dismissed the idea again.
