Phil Jackson didn't guess wrong, Thomas is really under a lot of pressure at the moment, perhaps, much more than Phil Jackson thought.

Chandler is averaging 8.6 points per game so far, which is worthy of his 17th pick in the first round, but the problem is ...... It's too much different from Li Wan!

And this 17th pick in the first round was originally prepared for Li Wan!

In addition to the external calls for him to leave class, there is also a force within the management that has long seen him unhappy, and is preparing evidence that he has abused his power for personal gain and engaged in "peachy" games over the years, and is preparing to "send him away" in a wave.

Thomas panicked, but he had one last resort, picked up the phone on the table, he dialed a phone he had wanted to dial a long time ago, and after three quick beeps, the phone finally connected.

"Dude, what's the matter?"

"Mitch, I heard that you also put Chinese newcomers on the shelf, so I am willing to send out two first-round picks, plus any player on the team, in exchange for Chinese newcomers!"

The person who answered the phone was the general manager of the Lakers, Kupchak, who was a little surprised by Thomas's broken attitude, but this chip, if you want to say that you are not impressed, it is also nonsense, the New York Knicks are now in the penultimate position in the East, and next year is recognized by the media as a "draft year", the New York Knicks, which is almost certain of a high pick, can definitely select a very talented player, plus a first-round pick and anyone in the Knicks, let alone change Li Wan, even if it is an All-Star player, I'm afraid that's the bargaining chip, right?

Only half a month after the regular season began, Li Wan's value has skyrocketed to this extent?

"Let me think again!"

Kupchak hung up the phone without hesitation.

"I'll think about it again" actually just doesn't want to.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Wan's future value is much more valuable than what Thomas provides, basically, if he is not an All-Star player in his prime, he will definitely not be able to replace him.

At this time, Thomas was completely desperate, covered his face with his hands, stood still for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard, and his dark skin was about to turn red.

What did you say you were trying to do, Thomas!

The slap is crisp and loud, but if the size of the slap represents his degree of remorse at the moment, then the slap is still too small......

After reading his physical test report, Li Wan, who felt that he was good again, let Kobe Bryant beat him up again in the team training match, which was more ruthless than ever!

At the end of the show, Li Wan collapsed on the floor panting, and Kobe Bryant coldly threw down a sentence: "The model show is indeed much better than the stadium at 4 o'clock in the morning, but this is the price." ”

￥%&%…… &*%*

Li Wan stared at Kobe's back, and his heart was full of national quintessence.

Wow, is there really such a small pervert in this world?

However, now that I can keep up with him, this can be regarded as progress, right?

In fact, Li Wan really wants to train with Kobe Bryant and hone his single defense ability, which he is more lacking.

But the problem is that the time chosen by this snake is too underworld, the competitiveness is still strong, and the person is still paranoid, and training with him is to torture himself.

Forget it......

Orcs, never slaves!

On November 16, the Lakers sat at home and faced the challenge of the Hawks.

The Hawks management has done a good job in the past few seasons, starting with two potential stocks in the 2004 draft: Josh Childres, the 6th pick in the first round, and Josh Smith, the 17th pick in the first round; In the summer of 2005, the team acquired Joe Johnson from the Suns on a sign-and-trade basis, and selected Marvin Williams on a first-list basis.

At this point, the Hawks' rebuilding core roster is beginning to take shape, and after this year's draft with the third pick in the first round of the draft, Al Horford is gradually showing its strength.

Currently in ninth place in the East, they will return to the playoff stage after nine seasons.

Nine years......

Do you know how Atlanta fans have spent the past nine years?

They only hope now that this talented Eagles can last a little longer in their heyday, and even if they can't win the championship, they won't fall so quickly.

Phil Jackson didn't have much of a plan for this game, and the Hawks climbed to ninth place in the East, which is a huge improvement compared to themselves, but compared to the Lakers, the gap is huge.

It's not a level contest at all.

Phil Jackson felt that even if he just relied on hard power, he could directly crush his opponent.

But, the Eagles don't want him to feel, they want to feel for themselves.

All the players were in very good shape tonight, and the Lakers didn't have a seven- or eight-point lead until 5 minutes and 14 seconds in the third quarter, and before the situation could stabilize, a "nerve knife" jumped out of the Hawks, that is, Josh Childis, who had an "explosive head". With his weird shooting posture of "crooked machine gun", "Boom" scored three 3-pointers in a row, leaving the difference to only 2 points at once.

To say that this guy is really good enough.

Although his body is thin, his physical explosiveness is not weaker than that of Josh, another Hawks team.

And compared to the other Josh, he is obsessed with projection, but his shooting skills are sparse. Once this Josh comes to the touch, it is very scary, and it is just a routine operation to score three points in a row like tonight.

Speaking of scoring talent alone, he is above Josh Smith.

It's a pity that the defense is sparse, and the small forward position is basically nothing he can defend.

Originally, at the end of this season, the Hawks immediately offered a five-year contract extension of 33 million, and after giving Josh Smith, who was in the same position as him, an annual salary of 10 million, the Hawks management also offered him such a contract, which shows the team's recognition of him.

It's just that the temptation came at this time, Greece's Olympiacos offered a contract worth more than twice as much as the Hawks, and also promised a single-family house, a full-time driver, a personal chef and even a maid, and as long as Childis wanted to return to the NBA, he could leave at any time, without a buyout fee.

Seriously, the European league uses these things to test NBA players, even those stars, I'm afraid they have to be stunned, not to mention Childis, who just got rid of the "child labor contract" and his teammates who entered the team in the same class as him got tens of millions of contracts.

He decided to challenge his weakness.

As a result, Childis spent two years in Europe and millions in salary arrears, which became a negative example of the NBA going to Europe to pan for gold.

However, it is enough to make the people of the European League work so hard to poach people, which is enough to prove that this person has some ability.

Once he feels it, the "convulsive" physique that can explode is one of his skills.

Phil Jackson faced this situation, but he didn't panic at all, and he still wanted to laugh a little. Than the "nerve knife", I'm sorry, I'm really not afraid this season!

"Lee, it's time for your show!"

His voice was so loud that the Eagles head coach Mike Woodson next to him heard it, and Li Wan has been in a good mood lately, and Woodson, who was a little worried, took the assistant coach's record from the side, and looked like a ghost.

2 of 7 shots in the first half!

In this state, no matter how optimistic you are, you can't say okay?

This old man is smoking a cigar and is very high......

Woodson shook his head speechlessly.

Even if it is a "nerve knife" like Childris, if it is only this kind of shooting rate in the first half, he will basically not give much more ball in the second half.

Phil Jackson actually said that his acting time had come......

When the game is over, he must remind Phil Jackson to see a brain department. This is somewhat of a sign of Alzheimer's.

What surprised him even more was that when Li Wan appeared, the Los Angeles fans in the audience actually resounded with a burst of enthusiastic cheers. When you close your eyes and listen to the cheers, you would never have imagined that this would be a treat that a rookie can enjoy.

Especially this rookie only shot 2 of 7 in the first half!

It seems that it's not just Phil Jackson who is nervous, it's the entire Los Angeles people who are nervous.

"Bang dang!"

came up to the first attack, Li Wan didn't seem to have gotten rid of the slump in the first half, and the shot made a crisp sound, "refining" his sixth "fine iron" in this game.

Look!

Woodson had an unexpectedly expression.

It's time for this Angelenos and Phil Jackson to go and see the brains!

But the Lakers' trust in Li Wan once again exceeded his imagination, and after this missed shot, they continued to play for Li Wan.

Li Wan's mentality is also really good, his state is sluggish like this, and he is so decisive in his shot.

This time the cover given by his teammates was very good, and Li Wan shot very calmly, and the ball crossed an arc and fell straight into the basket.

Entered!

The scene, exploded!

Staples Arena was buzzing.

The Angelenos shouted out the cheers that had been held in their throats before, and the whole arena seemed to shake slightly.

Pay attention to transposition!

Woodson's hands kept spinning, allowing the Eagles players on the court to switch up a little faster.

Li Wan, who was running without the ball, keenly noticed this, and he received the ball at the top of the arc, suddenly stopped, and Childis, who was afraid of his projection, quickly defended closely.

There is hardly any distance, and the two of them are just close to each other, let alone shooting, even if it is difficult to jump.

But this is what Li Wan wants, the quick start brought by his excellent explosiveness, wiped past Childis, Li Wan went straight to the inside, faced Al Horford's upward movement, slowed down the rush, and made a move to shoot. Horford wanted to step forward, but he was afraid that he would suddenly accelerate again and break through his block.

In this psychological game, the final winner belongs to Li Wan, who took advantage of the time difference to score a layup.

Two more points!

The sudden breakthrough with the ball made Woodson frown slightly, and while Joe Johnson scored Kobe Bryant with a mid-range back-to-back single, he also made up his mind not to change his defensive strategy, but to block his catch-and-shoot shots.

Li Wan was not polite at all, once again using his explosive power to break through the Hawks who were sticking to him, and passed the ball to Odom under the basket, assisting him to put the ball into the frame.

A wave of 7-2 "scoring tide"!

Under the leadership of Li Wan, the Lakers stretched the gap to 7 points.

Woodson had to reach out to signal to the referee's bench and ask for a timeout. When the whistle blew, the atmosphere in the auditorium became more and more intense. He looked at the Lakers No. 91 who waved in response to the Lakers fans, and said to himself: He really adjusted his state back......

At this moment, Woodson's gaze at Phil Jackson changed.

He thought of Phil Jackson's confident shouting at that time, as if he was more sure than Li Wan himself, this guy would definitely be able to perform.

That's what it is...... The power of trust?

Woodson felt like he had opened the door to a new world and found the secret to Phil Jackson's success!
