Chapter Twenty-Six: Who would have thought that you were such a rookie

I slept until dawn, and when I woke up again, it was almost half past eight.

The training on the second day after playing away from home would not start until half past ten, Li Wan got up unhurriedly, made a high-calorie breakfast, pushed open the balcony door, and a refreshing wind blew him couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As we approach late October, the rainy season in Los Angeles will begin, with at least two or three rains a month.

There is no winter in Los Angeles, and the average temperature is slightly cooler than other seasons, but it is also above 19 degrees, so you can go outside with a light jacket.

opened the news website and took a look twice, although the Lakers lost the last game, his 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists still made the Los Angeles media boast.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of a fan's comment: is also a Chinese rookie, why is the gap so big?

Li Wan then remembered that the Bucks also played the third game of the preseason last night, and it seems that the UAE played in this game.

It was Yi Jianlian's NBA preseason debut, and Li Wan logged into some official reports from the Milwauki ground media and quickly saw the detailed information.

Head coach Larry Criskowiak gave 15 minutes of playing time, and Yi Jianlian left the game with 3 points and 6 fouls during that time.

As the No. 6 pick in the first round of the NBA, this performance is indeed a bit poor.

Fortunately, judging from the post-game interview with the Bucks coaching staff, they did not lose confidence in Yi Jianlian because of this.

The UAE is undoubtedly powerful.

It's just that there are personality problems and personal patience is too poor, he can't adapt to the intensity of the NBA game, and he has frequent injuries, which led to his failure to stay in the NBA in the end.

After breakfast, Li Wan went to the parking lot, where the new car Porsche 911 that Taryn chose for him was parked.

Streamlined bodywork, unique "big eye" headlights, classic red color scheme.

Li Wan really felt that he was also rich and "silver" at this moment.

But it's really expensive enough, the car itself plus some unique designs in the car cost him a total of about 140,000, which made the number on his bank card start with "2" again.

Operating to open the roof, Li Wan started the car and drove out of the parking lot. felt that something was missing, and turned on the classic old song "Busy Hey, ABC". The magical rhythm sounded, and it felt right at once.

Before you can enjoy it, you have already arrived at the Toyota Arena.

The 140,000 dollars are worth it!

Li Wan took off his sunglasses and got out of the car, and at this time, a-yellow modified Dodge Challenger passed in front of him and poured into the empty parking space next to him, which was the hippie's favorite car. Phil Jackson got out of the car, he was a hippie when he was young, and as he got older, he gradually became a "magic stick", just looking at him still driving the Dodge Challenger, obviously not old.

Li Wan saw that he looked sluggish, as if he hadn't slept well, and said, "Morning, Coach Phil, didn't you sleep well?" It rained so hard in Los Angeles last night that it made you noisy? ”

Phil Jackson looked at Li Wan and said in his heart: It's not thanks to you. Last night, he studied Li Wan with Phil Handy for one night, and said: "yes, I thought that there would be a flash flood in Los Angeles because of this, and I thought about whether to leave Los Angeles overnight with my treasured electric guitar signed by John Lennon, but I thought that I was the head coach of the Lakers, so I stayed again, and fortunately, nothing happened......"

After saying that, he laughed first.

It seems that he is in a good mood today.

"That's right, Lee, although there are still 3 games before the start of the new season, but for your use, I discussed with Phil Handy and handed over the substitute rotation lineup to you, but the time to play at the beginning will not be much, about 20 minutes, and the rest is up to you to fight for yourself!"

Li Wan didn't expect that he and Phil Jackson would tell him this as soon as they got into the elevator. He was stunned for a moment and nodded happily.

As far as rookies are concerned, the team's sixth man started his career, and the starting point is not low. Especially Li Wan is different from those geniuses, he is just a rookie with the 19th pick in the first round.

However, since Phil Jackson is already planning to put me in the sixth man position.

So why did Tyronn send me a message last night so I was ready to be traded, and Kupchak was making offers everywhere?

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think much about it, the biggest possibility was nothing more than that Kupchak and Phil Jackson were still fighting in secret, and he was forced to get involved in this struggle, this is not something he can manage, just do your own!

The Lakers returned home for Game 4 of the preseason and were challenged by the Charlotte Bobcats.

As Charlotte's second team, from 02 to now, 5 years, this team is still working hard to make the playoffs for the first time in team history.

The Bobcats didn't make much changes this summer, as they selected Brandon Wright in the draft at No. 8 and were traded to the Golden State Warriors for Jason Richardson, then signed a six-year contract extension with Gerald Wallace, the team's "scoring champion," and nothing else changed.

When Li Wan appeared, the cheers were obviously much louder than when he first appeared.

In the first game of the preseason, Staples Arena was "blown up".

The next two away games were also very good.

Now back at home after four days, the Angelenos are eager to see Lee Wan put on another performance that will excite them to the point of high*. - It's worth mentioning that tonight's Staples Arena was filled with nearly 20,000 seats, which is a remarkable attendance rate in the preseason. The extra people are basically here for Li Wan.

In the audience on the sidelines, there were even excited fans shouting: "Hey, man, if it's better than basketball, it's really several times better than you!" ”

This trash remark that Li Wan said to Starkey at the time was reported by ESPN, which was recorded on the sidelines after the game, and the Internet made the sentence spread all over the United States overnight.

The Los Angeles media, in particular, almost always used this trash talk as a news headline. It's impossible for anyone who follows Lakers news not to know.

This sentence has also become a "buzzword" in the mouths of Lakers fans in the past two days. It's really catchy.

As the game began, Li Wan also understood why Phil Jackson suddenly told him about the use of him during the regular season yesterday.

It can be seen from his substitutions tonight that he is already arranging according to the regular season.

It wasn't until 10 minutes and 13 seconds in the first quarter that Phil Jackson made his first substitution, and it was Li Wan who was substituted.

He took over as Kobe's No. 2 position.

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the scene.

Kobe Bryant was in a trance, and he couldn't remember the last time the crowd could still cheer after he was off the court.

The Chinese newcomers seem to have given Lakers fans one more reason to look forward to it.

Standing in front of Li Wan is Jeff McGinnis, a North Carolina-born veteran. It's also the only ability that the 33-year-old can still rely on on on the court.

Li Wan did not rush to attack with the ball, but ran without the ball. He has the ability to cut into the air with 71 and the ability to run off the ball with 71. This gives him the NBA-level off-ball getaways.

In other words, Li Wan without the ball, in theory, is more powerful than him holding the ball at this stage.

Jeff's experience is really sophisticated, and he made a few changes of direction on the run and couldn't get rid of it.

"Rookie, you always want to go around to the three-point line to catch the ball, am I right?"

Jeff, who was following him, spoke suddenly.

An old ruffian like this, who has been playing on the court for 11 years, always feels panicked if he doesn't say something.

Li Wan, who was running, raised his eyebrows slightly, and Jeff's words made him react instantly. His brilliance in the first few games seems to have caught the attention of other teams, and he has also studied some of his unconscious attacking habits.

There are always people who want to harm me!

Lu Xun is really not wrong.

Li Wan once again made a change of direction without the ball, this time not to the outside, but to the basket.

Jeff didn't expect him to suddenly change his run, and he was shaken off in an instant, just in time to rush in to attract the inside defense of Famar to give the ball to Li Wan's hands.

"Phew!"

Li Wan completed the one-handed split buckle and ignited the scene!

"You don't watch TV shows very often, do you?"

In the midst of cheers, Li Wan stepped back from Jeff's front and dropped the words of response.

"Otherwise, you must know that the villain died from talking too much!"

Jeff recalled that Li Wan suddenly moved towards the inside line just now, and also understood the meaning of Li Wan's words.

It's just that......

Who would have thought that you were such a rookie?
