Chapter 70: This is exactly the guy the Lakers have been looking for
The audience was in an uproar.
They love trash talk kids, that's true, and they also know that Li Wan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. But Rao is like this, they didn't expect that Li Wan would dare not pass the ball to Kobe.
This is ......
It should be worse than beating Kobe Bryant in the locker room, right?
Phil Jackson and Phil Handy looked at each other, and they didn't expect this to happen.
In the studio, Zhang Weiping was surprised, and his small eyes were twice as big as usual because of surprise.
"Ho ho, Kobe Bryant wants the ball, don't give it! That's interesting! ”
It is also because Li Wan is a Chinese player that he uses "interesting" to describe it, which would have been unreasonable if it were other players on the Lakers.
LeBron didn't expect that Kobe Bryant would ask for the ball, and the Chinese newcomer would actually wave his hand at him.
But think about this guy's ability to manipulate his own mentality just now......
It really looks like he can do it.
Li Wan did it!
At that moment, LeBron James looked at Kobe Bryant with a little more sympathy.
He's only been a few minutes, and he can't stand this rookie anymore, Kobe Bryant must have had a hard time in the past few months, right?
Odom wiped his braised egg face and shook his head slightly, thinking to himself why didn't he have a long memory?
Could it be because he was targeted in the training camp and is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate here?
Kobe Bryant, too. However, he didn't say much, and trotted back to the left flank.
Li Wan signaled to play the second tactic.
This tactic is the Lakers' pick-and-roll strategy, and Bynum needs to go to the high post to help him block and pick-and-roll.
"Little Shark" was reluctant in his heart, but a few days ago in the game, Odom cooperated with Li Wan and scored 4 points in a row. After hesitating for less than a second, he quickly lifted it high to the right.
Score!
No shame!
Daniel Gibson took advantage of the small man, used his speed, and jammed the position well, and he could follow the first time Li Wanhuan covered.
Li Wan noticed this, did not take Bynum's blocking side, depressed the center of gravity, and forced a breakthrough.
Gibson couldn't stop it at all.
Drew Gooden on the inside defended it, and Li Wan took advantage of the situation to hit the ball from his side to the basket, and Odom, who was completely empty, made an easy layup.
"What a ball!"
Derrick Fisher stood up and applauded the Lakers' goal.
It was the first time since the start of this game that he applauded and cheered for the Lakers so hard.
The reason for everything is naturally that Li Wan refused to give the ball to Kobe......
In his opinion, Li Wan and Kobe Bryant are definitely "mortal enemies", even if Li Wan performs well, "Zen Master" and Kobe Bryant will not agree to him playing as a starter.
Rookie is still too young!
If you perform a little better, you won't know your "younger brother".
Just follow my ass and learn what it means to be "steady"!
The worries are gone, you say, can he not be excited?
Su Qun coughed, helped his square glasses, and began to cooperate with the replay to talk about tactics, "Li Wan first wants a block, but the intention of this block, not to cooperate with Bynum, he didn't go to that side at all, he let Bynum come out, in fact, to let Big Z come out, without Big Z on the inside, there is only one Drew Gooden left under the Cavaliers basket, and he can't stop Li Wan from cooperating with Odom at all!" ”
Director Zhang agreed: "Li Wan played very reasonably, and this ball finished very exciting!" ”
Only Bynum was not very happy.
I don't give you a block, it's Odom to score, I give you a block, or Odom scores, I'm not blocking and dismantling for nothing!
The Lakers broke the scoring drought, and Phil Handy didn't rush to applaud, but gave instructions to the Lakers players who passed in front of him.
LeBron soon spotted the Lakers' change of formation and began to defend the "2-2-1" combination. It's his nightmare, and that's what Popovich used in this year's Finals. He averaged just 22 points per game, shooting 35.6 percent, 20 percent and 69 percent from three, and had 23 turnovers in four games.
Nightmares are not so easy to break, even if he is LeBron James, LeBron who has not developed consistent projection ability really does not have the ability to deal with joint defense.
In this round, the Cavaliers ended in iron.
"You can't win a championship like that!"
Li Wan was the last player to follow, and he did a good job of reaching out to block LeBron's view and successfully disrupting his shot.
LeBron glanced at the referee, Li Wan's action just now was very big, why didn't he blow it.
The referee glanced at the audience, the indignant appearance of these fans and the boos were still in front of them, where did they dare to blow it!
Took the ball from Bynum's hands, this time Kobe Bryant did not come out to catch the ball again, and in the last round, Li Wan commanded the team's run and successfully scored, giving him no reason to take the ball back.
Li Wan is still the offensive routine just now, this time Gibson chose to pass from the back of his ass, the big Z crossed in front of him, delayed, and very smart reached out to interfere, Li Wan had no angle, passed to Bynum who ran back to the basket.
After a glance, a player wearing a Lakers jersey flashed past him from beyond the three-point line, ran behind him, and he immediately turned around and passed.
Standing there was Kobe Bryant.
This ball is a bit off, and you have to hook your hand to get the ball.
Bryant made a slight adjustment and hit the ball.
Three points scored!
The Lakers overtook the score!
"Rookie, you should practice your passing!"
Bryant's voice came from behind him.
Li Wantou didn't reply: "It's because you're standing off, buddy!" ”
LeBron tried a mid-range jumper, stiff gestures, jumped up and leaned on the left crooked body, the ball was thrown like a shot put, and the basket came up with a "bounce" and fell into the basket.
Danger after risk!
LeBron couldn't help but secretly clench his fists in the return defense.
Phil Jackson looked at the goal with a look of indifference, he didn't believe LeBron could shoot them to death.
Li Wan continued to shout blocking and demolition, and this trick seemed to have become a headache for the Cavaliers.
Big Z left the three-second zone, and the problem of slow foot movement was infinitely exposed, and at the same time, Drew Gooden's ability was not enough to take on the core of a team's rim.
Big Z is not under the basket, and his defense seems weak.
The final shot was still given to Kobe, and he was holding the ball in the open position again, and sent the ball into the basket again.
hit twice in a row, Li Wan did not command to continue to block and dismantle, this set of tactics is easy to use, but let the Cavaliers slowly get acquainted with it, in fact, it can also be returned, Li Wan chose to change the style of play.
It's a very important ability as a number one, and he has to know what tactics are best for him.
continued to "feed the ball" to Kobe, and his state did improve a lot, holding the ball and singled Larry Hughes, hitting the middle distance steadily, and scoring 7 points in a row!
Mike Brown had to call a timeout.
This was already the second timeout he called in the first quarter.
Kobe Bryant was cheered by the audience when he left the game, but Phil Jackson ran to pat Li Wan on the shoulder, and after 4 minutes and 15 seconds on the court, he scored two points himself, but he had already handed out two assists.
With indirect assists, the Lakers' current nine points are all related to him.
But the real reason why Phil Jackson ran to meet him was the strategic thinking he showed in the game, rejecting Kobe's intentions, it can be seen from the subsequent feeding that Li Wan is trying to help Kobe Bryant create better scoring opportunities and help him get back in shape, the effect is still obvious, after 3 shots and 0 hits, Kobe Bryant hit 3 balls in a row, pulling the shooting rate back to 50%!
In addition, the use of blocking and dismantling tactics to empty the Cavaliers' basket, as well as the timing of changing tactics in time to make Kobe Bryant's flank kill, Li Wan's judgment is very in place!
That's exactly who the Lakers have been looking for!
Phil Jackson decided to talk to Kobe Bryant and told him not to care about Leewan's refusal to give him the ball as much as possible.
