On December 18, the Lakers left Orlando to challenge the Magic.

It was their last away game before Christmas.

Turkoglu has been looking forward to this match for a long time.

The last experience in Los Angeles was really bad, and he wanted to bring the same experience to Li Wan.

But as a result, he was "caught" twice......

It was also at this time that the "Turkish agent" discovered that this rookie was too good at "bullying too many people".

In addition, Li Wan shot 5 of 7 three-pointers in this game.

The Magic's No. 3 Tekoglu and No. 4 Lewis are too slow, and Nelson is too short, so Li Wan can easily run out of the open space and complete three-point shots against anyone.

To say that these brothers are also desperate for Howard to win the "Best Defensive Player Award", the defense that can be missed is definitely given to Howard to interfere......

At the end of the game, Li Wan left Orlando with 20 points, eating hot pot and singing.

Otis Smith, who was the general manager of the Magic team at the time, was also watching the game from the audience, and was also full of praise for Li Wan after the game, when the reporter asked him if he had any ideas about trading Li Wan.

He had a speechless smile on his face.

Who wouldn't want to get Li Wan as long as the price is right?

The problem was that Kupchak's asking price was too hard, and he heard that Thomas offered a first-round pick and any player on the roster to trade, but he was turned down.

Other general managers also tried to make offers after that, and the results were the same, and Kupchak felt that there were not enough chips.

Gradually, they all reacted, Kupchak had no intention of trading Li Wan at all, and now no one has made an offer to Kupchak.

Back to Los Angeles with a win.

On Dec. 19, they faced the Clippers "back-to-back".

In this game, the Lakers are at home and the Clippers are on the road.

For the Clippers though......

It doesn't matter whose away game or whose home game it is.

Anyway, the people sitting on the sidelines are all Lakers fans!

Fortunately, in this game, the Clippers won in the end, which can be regarded as a vicious breath!

After all, for the few Clippers fans, December was really not pretty, and the team's core Brand, who was accidentally injured in practice, ruptured his left Achilles tendon and was reimbursed early for the season.

This is destined for another season for the Clippers to compete for the "lottery spot".

The era that belongs to the Clippers doesn't know when it will come.

Under the influence of "back-to-back", Li Wan's performance was sluggish again, and once again the single-game score did not reach 2 digits, and only scored 7 points.

On December 21, after a day's rest, the Lakers continued to sit at home and face the challenge of the Seattle SuperSonics.

In December, the two favorites of the Western "Rookie of the Month Award" met again.

After entering December, Kevin Durant has obviously become more adaptable to the rhythm, shooting 45.3% per game and averaging 22.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

Especially since December 10th, that is, the day when Li Wan's relationship with Scarlett was reported, Kevin Durant scored 25 points, 24 points, 28 points, 20 points, and 21 points in 5 consecutive games of 20 plus!

The personal ferocious offensive firepower is vividly displayed.

Although in these five games, the SuperSonics have only won one game......

But it doesn't matter, rookie, good data is better than anything else!

This is especially true for the patient management of the supersonic team.

When they met before the game, Li Wan could feel that Kevin Durant's hostility towards him had deepened again, but this time he knew the reason very well, before the online media reported his scandal with Scarlett, and the comments at the bottom had several extreme comments, which he once thought were Kevin Durant's trumpet.

It's just that the hostility is no longer obvious, Kobe Bryant stared at the whole process and cleaned him up.

Li Wan once again brushed up 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in the supersonic team's sparse outside defense, with a shooting rate of 50%!

In fact, his recent form is also good, he scored 18 points against the Rockets, 20 points against the Magic, plus the 21 points tonight, and the "back-to-back" games against the Clippers, he did not play well because of the impact of physical fitness.

Kevin Durant seems to be really angry, and he took the initiative to provoke him when he lost last time, but this time he didn't say hello to Li Wan, and left this "sad place" without looking back.

But before leaving, he glanced at a sideline audience: Scarlett was sitting in that position, right? I don't know if there is still a smell of her on it.

Bynum also let out a bad breath tonight.

This breath is almost holding him back for a week!

played against the Rockets, he had 7 points and 6 rebounds, which made his pre-game rhetoric a laughing stock;

Playing the Magic team, in the face of "Warcraft", he got the data of double 10, in fact, he played better than the previous game, but Howard got the data of 16 plus 20, in comparison, it is really a bit ugly;

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

In the game against the Clippers, his physical fitness was affected, and he watched Chris Carman score 21 points and 12 rebounds above his head, while he only had 8 points and 6 rebounds, and he was blown up again.

Of course, some media believe that it is normal for him to be blown up in these games.

Yao Ming and Howard don't need to be said, the top five positions in the league's top 5, although Chris Carman is not as good as the two of them, and the Clippers are also terrible, but his average of 15 points and 12 rebounds per game is here, which is much better than Bynum......

After such a loss, Bynum faced Nick Collison in this game, he shot 8-of-11 and 2-of-4 free throws, scored 18 points, and also had 11 rebounds.

It's a pity that after the game, there was still no media to praise him.

Barkley said bluntly: "Nick should not be in the top eight among so many centers in the West, if Andrew can't play well in front of him, then there is no need to call it a little shark, it's almost the same as calling it a small fish!" ”

Hearing this evaluation, Bynum and Barkley had a two-day "war of words".

Bynum said ruthlessly: "If it's 1v1, I dare to guarantee that if you can't even score a goal, you will be killed by me!" ”

Barkley said, "Wait until you win the regular season MVP, come and tell me about it" to complete the counter-kill.

Seriously, as long as you don't talk to legendary stars like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, with the honor of Barkley's career, it's still stable.

On December 23rd, it rained again in Los Angeles, and with 2 days left before Christmas, the Lakers welcomed their last opponent before the "Christmas War" - the Dallas Mavericks!

The Mavericks, who were the No. 1 in the regular season last season, have completely wilted after experiencing the "Black Eight", and after nearly two months of adjustment, they are still ranked seventh in the West.

One blow, and then the decline......

The 06 Finals and the 07 first-round playoffs suffered a big wave for two consecutive seasons, especially last season, the Mavericks, who were invincible in the regular season, who would have thought that they would fall in the first round?

However, the Lakers still take this game very seriously, because the Lakers have lost to the Mavericks before.

Kobe's principle is that on the same team, he will never accept losing twice in a row.

Before the game, he sat on the bench with a cold air all over his body.

Looking at him, Li Wan knew why snakes like to bask in the sun......

The big screen at Staples' home stadium gave the starting list for today:

Lakers: No. 1 Li Wan, No. 2 Kobe, No. 3 Luke Wharton, No. 4 Odom, No. 5 Bynum;

Li Wan is still the starter.

Although the Lakers lost the offensive firepower of the bench rotation lineup in the last game, with Li Wan's momentum now, no matter what the situation, unless Li Wan is injured, it is impossible to put him on the bench.

The Mavericks also made some changes on their side, with "Little General" Johnson putting Jason Terry on the bench to keep the Mavericks on fire.

Well......

Mainly, the backcourt composed of Jason Terry and Devin Harris really has no defensive ability, the Lakers already have Kobe Bryant, plus the eye-catching Li Wan, the backcourt ability should not be underestimated, and Johnson doesn't want to see it, the game has just begun, and the back line of the Mavericks has been beaten into a sieve.

Replacing him in the starting line-up was Eddie Jones.

Once the starting guard of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is also a good big brother who is also a teacher and friend.

Joining the Mavericks this summer, he missed his last home game against the Lakers due to injury, and he has just returned in the last few games, and he was pushed to the starting position by Johnson due to his tough defense.

He went out of his way to say hello before the game, and this was the only time he laughed today.

When Eddie Jones came on the field, there was also a lot of cheers from the audience.

Some new fans didn't know who he was, and old fans took the initiative to tell them about those years when the Lakers were still in the quagmire, when Eddie Jones and Shaq O'Neal were the hope of the Lakers.

At the small forward position, it's Josh Howard.

On the inside, Nowitzki and Dampier are still on the inside.

In terms of configuration, tonight's Mavericks have both offense and defense.

But if you add attitude......

When Dampier jumped the ball, he didn't even bother to straighten his hands.

Li Wan controlled the ball over half the court, and the first ball was given to Kobe Bryant's "old friend competition".

This year's Eddie Jones is already 36 years old, and in 8 days, he will be 37 years old, and time has taken away his physicality and left only enough experience.

If you are facing an average defender, you can still make up for it with experience.

But in the face of Kobe, it is a little bit not enough.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant beat him when he was still in high school.

Holding the ball and taking a tentative step to the side, seeing that Eddie Jones didn't mean to come up, Kobe Bryant simply broke through with the ball, while lowering the center of gravity, leaning on his shoulder, Eddie Jones failed to block his breakthrough, and hurriedly slid to intercept, but Kobe Bryant at this time, a stop-and-go jump shot.

Eddie Jones, whose entire center of gravity shifted back, could only watch the ball fly out of Kobe's hand in a daze.

"Bang dang" sounded, the ball knocked out, and Kobe Bryant was too anxious.

Bynum jumped off with Dampier stuck, grabbed the ball first, and then shook Dampier away with a feint after landing, and slammed it with one hand.

2-0！

The "Little Shark" ball was really beautiful, and there was a lot of shouts at the scene.

The team abused me thousands of times, and I treated the team like my first love!

That's what the fans ......

Some time ago, Bynum was scolded very badly in the media, and they were also angry, but as long as he played well, they would still send cheers as soon as possible.

Harris carried the ball to the front court and called Dampier to block and dismantle, and when Li Wan squeezed through, this guy stepped him through with pure speed, the Mavericks guard who later set a "Guinness World Record for Dribble Speed All Over the Court" in the Nets, pulled his hip back to his hip in the playoffs, and the speed was really fast.

Li Wan hadn't eaten the exhaust gas of the counterpoint for a long time.

This one is eaten.

Harris scored a layup, Li Wan dribbled to the front court, did not rush, but commanded the run, and gave the ball to Bynum under the basket.

Bynum is now eager to show himself, after getting the ball, he felt the resistance behind him a little, and immediately held the ball and singled, Dampier is known as the "second center in the West", Li Wan feels that he is missing two words: countdown!

It was just a feint again, and Dampier was shaken away, but fortunately, Nowitzki made up for it this time, reaching out to interfere with the hand, Dampier was not active in defense, and he was still very active in grabbing defensive rebounds.

is also, relying on grabbing defensive rebounds back then, he got 70 million from Cuban for 7 years.

The Mavericks launched a counterattack.

Harris rushed too fast, made a mistake on the dribble, Li Wanbai picked up a steal, Eddie Jones replaced the position for the first time, and Li Wan failed to go fast.

"Come on, let me see what the newcomers who have been hot lately are capable of!"

In the face of Li Wan, Jones was much more confident, and his expression also carried the posture of the alliance's predecessors.

"At least you won't lose to a high school student......"

Li Wan replied without saltiness, and there were two people who became uncomfortable.

Eddie Jones had long heard of Li Wan's reputation as a "trash talk boy", and he just threw out trash talk to try his "poisonous tongue", but the result was ...... Almost knocked him out in one sentence.

This kid speaks, one step to the stomach!

There is also a person whose mouth trembles slightly, and the person who lies down the gun......

He really wanted to ask, if you don't bring me for trash talk, will you die?

The heart-piercing Eddie Jones also became very serious, but Li Wan let him know what it means to be "afraid of boxing and being young", stunned from outside the left three-point line, slanted all the way, used his footwork, and completed the breakthrough at the top of the arc, attracting Nowitzki's defense under the basket, and then jumped up and stuck to him with a "pit pass" on his back to assist Odom to jump hook and score.

Nowitzki was still looking around for the ball when it flew out of Odom's hand.

Li Wan's pass really stunned him.

The big screen kept replaying Nowitzki's search for the ball, and the cheers on the scene were also overshadowed by a burst of cheers.

Li Wan returned to the defense and looked at Kobe: "No wonder you were able to beat him in high school!" ”

Eddie Jones almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

This rookie is really bullying!

If you have the ability to wait for you to be 37 years old, we will ...... again

Forget it, when this rookie is 37 years old, I'm 55, and I still can't beat it......

There is no hope in this life, let's work hard in the next life.

Kobe Bryant had an expression of "don't be beaten by Lao Tzu", he decided to talk to Li Wan at the end of this game, spray trash talk in the future, and then take him with him, then see you at the Toyota Center Arena at 4 o'clock in the morning!
