There is a list of "most surprising players", and of course there is also a list of "disappointing players".

Yi Jianlian, who was the 6th pick in the first round of this year, is impressively listed.

The reason for the disappointment given by ESPN experts is not that his data is bad.

As of the end of the first month, although Yi Jianlian stopped and stopped, he could still get 8.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in an average of 25 minutes per game. Side-by-side comparison, Joakim Noah, the 9th pick in the first round, who is also an interior player, averaged 6.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, and had a slight scoring advantage.

"Originally, we expected Huaxia Yi to beat the trash talk boy, but as a result, Li Wan's performance exceeded expectations too much, the same Chinese player, Li Wan only had the 19th pick in the first round, but Yi Jianlian was the 6th pick in the first round, his performance was undoubtedly a little disappointing, I know that there are factors affecting injuries, but it can't just be such a performance."

These words are actually the views of domestic fans and the media.

The fundamental reason why Yi Jianlian is facing such a big controversy is that everyone's expectations for him are too high. And when he fails to meet that expectation, he will naturally be counterattacked.

In front of Yi Jianlian is the Lakers' Andrew Bynum.

Also on the list.

ESPN wasn't optimistic about Bynum at first, 3 points were sincere, 7 points wanted to make some gimmicks, but this guy really couldn't do it!

averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds per game, which is certainly a career high for him, but it is far from what the outside world expects from him.

It's not just ESPN who named him the "most disappointing Lakers player", the Los Angeles media also thought his first month performance was unsatisfactory, just barely satisfactory.

Bynum was very angry when he saw the news, and during the training match on the afternoon of November 30, he could be seen very irritable and frequently asked for the ball.

Phil Jackson frowned and watched from the sidelines, not worrying about Bynum's mentality.

He knows the character of this thing very well.

Don't look at him angry now, but when the daily training is over, he will definitely be the first to slip away.

This guy's self-control can't even reach Kobe's little finger.

"Are you going to ask Derek again, are you sure it's all right?"

Phil Handy listened to his question and laughed a little speechlessly: "Man, I've asked three times, even if I ask ten more times, this answer won't change." ”

"Hey!"

Li Wan started 3 games, and his performance in this position during this period is not only good, but very good!

Calm command, and excellent big-picture vision.

Li Wan held the ball in his hand, and his talented appearance made him very satisfied.

The Lakers have been lacking someone who can organize the ball properly, to put it more bluntly, someone who knows when to give the ball to Kobe.

Derek Fisher is obedient enough, but that's about it.

He didn't have any ideas of his own at all on the court, played as a good point guard, and played as a dribble guard. Kobe Bryant got into the horns on the offensive end while playing, and a large part of the reason for this is related to the fact that he always gives the ball to Kobe Bryant unconditionally.

Look at Li Wan, don't hesitate at all when it's time to refuse!

Of course, Jackson can't blame Fisher for this, this is the way the "old fish" survives in this league.

It's just that Phil Jackson didn't have a choice before, and now he wants the Lakers' No. 1 position to be a calm commander.

However, "Old Fish" will make a comeback in the next game, and Li Wan's starting position needs to be temporarily relinquished. After all, this is his "old partner" who has been with him for so many years, and he can't let Fisher sit on the cold bench because of an injury.

At least...... Let him start four or five games first, and then talk about it, Phil Jackson will feel a little better!

Phil Handy said at this time: "Lee's return to the bench is not necessarily a bad thing, and the firepower he provided in the bench rotation phase is also something we urgently need, which is something that the old fish can't make up for." ”

"Zen Master" nodded, he knew that Phil Handy was not wrong, in the last game, losing to the Mavericks, it was one thing to be blown up inside, and it was also one thing that the bench did not have enough firepower.

"If only there were two Li Wan!"

Thinking of the end, he couldn't help but say a word.

Phil Handy listened to him and smiled: "This is not a newcomer who can be easily obtained!" ”

Phil Jackson laughed as he had to admit that Li Wan was indeed not an easy guy to get.

Soon, Li Wan also learned from Phil Handy that he was going to return to the bench for the next game.

He felt a little regretful in his heart, but this situation was within the scope of his expectations, and it was not unexpected.

Moreover, although Phil Jackson let him return to the bench, when he was training on the court today, Li Wan still played the No. 1 position, and tomorrow he will also let him play as the No. 1 position......

This at least proves that he plays the No. 1 position, and Phil Jackson is quite satisfied.

The next thing he has to do is to compete with Fisher!

I don't know when I'll be able to stabilize my starting position......

The first full month of the new season has passed in the blink of an eye, and he has only started three of the 15 games, and he is still 53 games away from the 56 games of the mission.

In the new season, there are only 67 games left.

I have to say, it's very difficult!

But Li Wan didn't want to give up, the average playing time and average data per game were up to standard, and the task was completed by 50%, so he had no reason to give up.

Take your time and don't rush.

Li Wan knows that the most important thing for him now is to stabilize his mentality and maintain his performance.

When Fisher heard that Li Wan would be the No. 1 substitute in tomorrow's game, his muscular body shook slightly, and the already obvious eyebrow bone became more prominent as his eye sockets contracted.

Fisher knows Phil Jackson well, which is why he has always been trusted by the "Zen Master", and he knows very well that Jackson likes to use those tall guards.

Li Wan is 2.02 meters tall, and when he is in the No. 1 position, he does not have any obvious shortcomings, but he has many eye-catching No. 1 characteristics.

And the performance on the field these days......

All kinds of factors converge into one sentence: the old man is very satisfied with Li Wan, and this period of substitution time is estimated to be just a transition.

fxxk！

Fisher cursed inwardly

At the beginning, the Lakers chose Li Wan, he was not nervous, he read Li Wan's scouting report, which mentioned that his dribbling skills are not up to par, which means that it will take him a long time to practice his dribbling ability, or he will never be able to practice his dribbling ability!

Therefore, even if Li Wan showed excellent communication skills with his teammates and top-level vision, he was not worried.

But who would have thought that in just 4 months from the summer to now, he has practiced a decent ability to hold the ball. Who would have thought that this guy would be a genius when it comes to ball sense!

In fact, time went back 5 months, and Li Wan didn't expect that he would be an extremely talented genius in dribbling! He didn't expect it, the system thought of it.

Jr-Smith's card rockets his dribbling ability.

There's no way, the life of the open is so strong!
