Chapter 54: Bitches, Keep Coming
After the timeout, the game resumed, and Bryant went up to exert his strength, and he scored eight points in a row with free throws, and the Lakers led by 14 points at halftime, 56-42.
The smile on Kobe's face was almost uncontrollable. Bynum saw a smile flashing across his face several times, and he was so frightened that he secretly said in his heart: I must not smoke marijuana like this again next summer, the stamina is too great, and I haven't slowed down until now!
Another person who can't hold back is Barkley, who has never been so loud since he made a commentary: "The newcomers in China are really amazing!" ”
At the end of the first half, Li Wan had already scored 11 points, plus 2 rebounds and 2 assists!
He shot really well tonight!
The "Nerve Knife" badge is not turned on, and the hit rate is also above 50%.
Of course, it is also inseparable from the three "defensive masters" on the outside of the Nuggets.
On the other hand, J.R. Smith, the problem of "poor shooting selection" written on the scouting report was undoubtedly revealed, and when he was desperate to respond, he was like a fly hitting a spider's web, and the Lakers' defense tied him tighter and tighter, and after that technical foul free throw, he only scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting, a total of 5 points in the first half, and 1 rebound, and other statistics were zero, but there were 2 turnovers!
Compared with Li Wan, there is an obvious gap.
In the second half, if the Lakers play a "scoring tide" as soon as they come up, and the Nuggets can't stop it, the game will enter "garbage time", and no one will compare who played better in "garbage time". If Phil Jackson pretended to beep a little more and put Lee Wan on the sidelines in "garbage time", J.R. Smith wouldn't even be qualified to play better than him in "garbage time".
At the thought of this, Kenny Smith scratched his head with both hands, and he regretted it.
I knew I wouldn't have dug this hole for Barkley, but now it's good that he didn't jump into the hole, but Kenny Smith himself fell into it, and Barkley threw dirt in his face with excitement.
Barkley looked at his old partner with a smile, and at this moment he was glad that he stood firm and did not question the Chinese players. Otherwise, it will be planted on the donkey's ass again.
The second half of the game started quickly.
Kenny Smith's worst fears came true, as the Lakers came up with a scoring wave that stretched the margin to 18 points.
Barkley feels like the overall situation has been decided at the moment, killing leeks and waiting for the closing dealer, and he will win steadily, if it is not for working hours, he would want to contact Kenny Smith immediately!
"Huh!"
But at this time, Jr-Smith, who was replaced, took the ball in the frontcourt, faced Kobe's hand sealed to his face, and shot down accurately from outside the three-point line.
It's just that there was no cheering at the scene, and the Lakers continued to play a scoring wave, and there was a 15-point difference, which made the Denver people lose enthusiasm.
In the retreat of JR-Smith, there was no pompous celebration of the past, but like a cheetah re-disappeared in the forest, waiting for the next shot.
Bryant responded from mid-range.
The difference came to 17 points.
Jr-Smith had to be direct this time, taking the ball and pulling it out, Jordan Farmar was in front of him, but he could only watch him shoot the ball into the basket.
Another three!
There was a bit more hustle and bustle at the scene!
Seeing that Jr-Smith scored 6 points so quickly, tying Li Wan's score, Kenny Smith's face was also a little more excited: "It's not over yet, it's not over yet!" ”
If the Nuggets follow JR-Smith's momentum to play a wave of counterattacks, then the role and performance played by JR-Smith will be able to stabilize Li Wanyi's head.
Jr. Smith still looked back with a blank face, which made Kenny Smith feel that J.R. Smith would continue his performance.
"Smith" will not give up faith in "Smith"!
"Li, you can go up too!"
The "nerve knife" on the opposite side went crazy, and Phil Jackson's first reaction was to put his own "nerve knife" on the court. Isn't it just a nerve? Just come on!
And just now he put Li Wan and Kobe Bryant on the court together, and there was no problem on the wing.
Li Wan used team communication to limit Jr-Smith well.
JR-Smith, who had been expressionless, saw Li Wan playing, and his whole face sank. At this time, the Lakers put Li Wan on the court, making it clear that they thought Li Wan could limit him.
Are you kidding!
Jr-Smith became more determined to get the ball.
Aaron Iverson was brotherly and gave the ball to him.
After the first half of the competition, Li Wan has a little understanding of JR Smith, in defense, no longer add too much close winding defense, compared to physical fitness and explosiveness, JR Smith must be the dominant side, Li Wan has not fully tapped the entire dynamic potential now, as for static talent, Li Wan does not have too obvious advantages, he has the league's top static talent, and JR-Smith High School participated in the draft, every scout will mention that he is the golden body of the second position, regardless of height, The arm span or weight is just right.
Li Wan has the advantage of brains.
In the case of being forcibly eaten by the other party, Li Wan chose to ensure that he could give until interference, and then forced Jr-Smith to a position where the shot was not so good relatively speaking. Jr-Smith's outrageous degree of poor shooting selection in the first half refreshed Li Wan's perception of the timing of his shot.
In Jr-Smith's mind, it seems that as long as there is an opportunity to make a shot, it is a good choice to make a shot, and there will never be the slightest hesitation.
"Bang dang!"
In the first round of Li Wan's defense in the second half, Jr-Smith still did not change, he was forced by Li Wan to go to the free throw line, and Odom's block made him have to shoot early.
The ball pops out of the frame.
Phil Jackson looked at Li Wan, who had an effect as soon as he got on the court, and his trust in his defensive ability deepened.
Fisher got the ball in the backcourt, Li Wan went to the Nuggets' defense area first, he was thinking about how to defend the next round, and inadvertently met Kobe Bryant's eyes, he signaled the position at the top of the arc, Li Wan could understand, it should be for him to cooperate, playing a "hand-to-hand" tactic at the top of the arc, but he didn't expect that Kobe actually took the initiative to communicate with him.
Fisher dribbled forward, and after Kobe Bryant got the ball, he followed Kobe's instructions and pulled to the other side of the three-point line.
Li Wan moved to the top of the arc without the ball at this time, Kobe Bryant passed the ball to him, and then quickly went around behind him, Li Wan made a move to pass the ball, Jr Smith was fooled, and he was delayed early for Anthony to catch up with Kobe.
Li Wan felt the resistance in front of him disappear, collected the ball and rushed to the basket.
In the face of Camby's supplemental defense, Li Wan scored the ball with a handsome puller, and he felt really good tonight.
At the same time, the "Nerve Knife" badge also lit up at this time.
This pull-up goal was his sixth goal of the game!
“nice!”
This time it was Barkley's turn to scream, and Li Wan's performance on both offensive and defensive ends after coming on the court was so excited that he spat around.
Allen Iverson hit one of his own in this round, rushed to the basket, and also pulled the rod to make a layup, and he scored the ball and got a chance to add a free throw.
Bynum raised his hand in annoyance, noticing Kobe's gaze that wanted to eat people, and his entire shoulder suddenly shrank. At the critical moment when the opponent was about to get up, his foul was too deadly and too arrogant for the opponent.
The free throw was steadily hit, and the margin was 12 points remaining. Allen put his hand next to his ear and made his classic celebratory gesture.
Li Wan communicated with Odom this time and asked him to help cover at the bottom line. Seeing Odom nodding, Li Wan also slipped quickly to the bottom line as soon as Fisher went to the front court to give the ball to Kobe, and the next second he ran under the basket, Odom stood in the position where he ran past and successfully intercepted.
But Bynum didn't know why he was also moving towards the bottom line, and finally got rid of JR-Smith's Li Wan, because of his blocking, he was caught up by JR-Smith again.
“fxxk!”
Phil Jackson, who has always liked to beep on the sidelines with his hands in his trouser pockets, scolded, and his voice was much sharper than usual because of excitement.
However, Li Wan reacted quickly, after a forward no-ball running feint, he quickly reversed, and once again used Odom to cover back to the original three-point line, Kobe Bryant held the ball from outside the three-point line at this time, and the Nuggets basket in a mess, their eyes were attracted by him, and the three of them pounced on Kobe Bryant together.
Kobe Bryant, who was flying in the air, took advantage of the situation to give the ball to Odom under the basket, Odom passed the ball to Li Wan who was standing in the bottom corner, and among the three people who just pounced on Kobe, there was JR Smith who was supposed to follow Li Wan.
"Huh!"
Li Wan got up and down, and while scoring the 16th point of the game, he also brought the difference back to 15 points.
George Karl was about to call a timeout, and the Nuggets' defense was in disarray, and his face was gone. It's just that when Allen Iverson got the ball, he was full of desire to hold the ball forward, and he was in his own attacking rhythm. He didn't dare to call a timeout again, and if he interrupted rashly at such a time, it was very likely that there would be an unnecessary misunderstanding with the core of the team.
The biggest difference between the NBA and the Europa League is that NBA stars have a lot of freedom and decision-making power on the court.
Fisher really couldn't prevent Allen Iverson, Li Wan watched Allen Iverson move forward, and said "I'll make up for it" behind Fisher. Fisher stepped forward very decisively to confront.
Tonnage was the only weapon he could use in position one.
With Allen Iverson's speed, it was no surprise that he erased him in the first step, and pulled the lever to complete the score on the arm of Li Wan.
Allen Iverson scored 5 points in a row!
This physical quality is truly historic!
Where do ordinary NBA stars have such speed and waist strength!
Do you think Jr. Smith's card can be mutated into Allen Iverson?
Forget it, let's not do it, the "speed king" has many injuries.
It's just that the cheers on the scene haven't completely ended, and on the Lakers' side, Li Wan, who went out of the circle, scored another three-point shot.
It's soaring!
“OMG!”
Kenny Smith, who has always been black-faced, watched Li Wan respond to Allen Iverson's score with two consecutive three-pointers, and his tone couldn't stop being surprised.
Rao is that he is ready for JR-Smith's performance tonight is not as good as Li Wan!
But he didn't expect that Li Wan could actually fight against Allen Iverson!
This is a four-time scoring champion!
"The Nuggets are really bad at changing defenses!" Phil Jackson watched Li Wan run out of the empty seat again, and complained to Phil Handy next to him.
Phil Handy knows exactly what Phil Jackson wants to hear.
"The main thing is that you adjusted the lineup in time, put Li Wan on the lineup, and disrupted their original deployment."
After he said this, Phil Jackson's face immediately had a smile on his face, as if he had eaten bee poop. The head coach with weak on-the-spot reaction likes to be praised by others for his ability to adjust in time!
On the court, Li Wan communicated in time, let the basket shrink the defense, and he responded to Allen Iverson with two consecutive three-pointers, which is certainly impossible for the superstar to make him so proud.
So he's definitely going to attack on his own again.
Odom had no problem, and Kobe's gaze made Bynum also nod slightly in agreement.
Li Wan's analysis of the mentality of these superstars is very accurate, Allen Iverson held the ball to the frontcourt, paused slightly, and immediately accelerated, Fisher subconsciously lifted his pants, and then reacted that Allen Iverson was already eating breakfast under the basket.
"Bang dang!"
The Lakers' "twin towers" interference was successful, and Allen Iverson missed a layup. Odom quickly transferred the ball to Kobe's hand, and the Lakers had a fast-break opportunity.
Li Wan and Kobe, the Nuggets once again chose to let him go and intercept Kobe.
"Huh!"
Lee Wan made the Nuggets pay a terrible price.
Fast break three-point score!
His third three-pointer.
The Nuggets fans at the scene were stunned, and the Nuggets players on the bench on the sidelines were also stunned, including J.R. Smith, the "nerve knife", with incredible eyes in his eyes.
This guy, Alan Iverson scored, he scored!
Allen Iverson is not scoring, he is still scoring!
This "nerve knife"!
J.R. Smith scolded in his heart: It's too unreasonable, right?
Allen Iverson's whole rhythm was completely out of order, he was in a hurry, urging Camby to serve, and now he was covered in like an ant crawling.
He has to respond with a ball to feel better.
But George Karl called a timeout at this time, and the difference was 19 points. He had to call a timeout to slow down the tempo and let the Nuggets, especially Allen Iverson, calm down.
It's just that Allen Iverson didn't appreciate it, looked at him irritably with the ball, and asked him "why"!
George Carr didn't talk to him directly, let the assistant coach pull him aside, but he muttered fiercely in his heart: Why? Because you can't beat that rookie.
The panting Li Wan got a chance to rest, and with the continuous running and shooting, his physical energy was consumed very quickly, and sure enough, now he can't be the main attacker for a long time, and his physical recovery can't keep up.
This time, without waiting for him to ask for Gatorade, Phil Jackson personally handed him a glass of Gatorade.
Li Wan once again refreshed his worldview, although this is not the first time Li Wan has done such a thing, but this time he is the four-time scoring champion Allen Iverson!
"Do you still vote?"
30 seconds flashed by, and last time again, Kobe Bryant asked him.
Li Wan looked at the remaining time, there were still 24 seconds, which should be enough for him to fight again, so he nodded firmly: "Vote!" ”
The Nuggets served in the half, and Allen Iverson, who had recovered his senses, burst the ball to Carmelo Anthony and hit it steadily from mid-range.
Kobe Bryant took the ball in the backcourt this time and quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, showing a full desire to attack, but when Li Wan reached the three-point line at the top of the arc, he immediately passed the ball to Li Wan.
Li Wan took the ball and threw it, and J.R. Smith in front of him jumped up in fright.
"Beautiful shooting feints!"
Barkley shouted, and in the midst of his shouting, Li Wan moved sideways to the left, adjusted his shot, and the ball crossed a perfect arc and fell into the basket.
Li Wan hit three points again!
"Come on, bitches, keep coming!"
Li Wan, who was retreating, clenched his fists and roared, and in response to him, there was a dead silence at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
