Chapter 107: You Really Can't Beat the Mouth Cannon

The Utah media also complained about "Chubby".

The phrase "If Delon is not in Utah, then he is definitely an All-Star starter" expresses their attitude.

And that's exactly what Deron Williams wants to hear the most.

The whole of Utah is very fond of DeLong, and Jerry Sloan is the same, probably for this reason, and later Deron Williams became more and more arrogant, believing that all success was his own efforts, and even thinking that Jerry Sloan used the system to limit him, otherwise he could reach a higher ceiling.

To a certain extent, DeLong is not much different from the later "Little Steel Cannon" Lowry, both are system players.

As for why Delon made 3 All-Stars and won two best second-team and fell early, while Lowry won a best three-team and made 6 All-Stars, 3 of which were starters, and won the championship.

Maybe Lowry knows better than him how many pounds and taels he has.

It's just that they are crying out for Delon, and the eyes of the outside world are mainly focused on the Eastern forward position, and the people who cry out for Kevin Garnett are one after another.

In Los Angeles, "gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison" to build momentum for Li Wan!

The difference between him and Steve Nash is not very large, as long as he increases his efforts, it is estimated that after the second phase of voting, he can immediately surpass Steve Nash.

Although the "Son of the Wind" averaged 16.2 points, 11.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, the style is still the same, and he has just won two regular season MVPs in a row, and the momentum is there.

But Li Wan is really the biggest surprise in the league this season!

His fan-attracting personality, his style on the pitch full of anticipation, and his off-the-field anecdotes make him full of infinite charm......

It's normal for such a person to play in Los Angeles and make the NBA All-Star starter!

Even if he is still a rookie who has only played for two months.

Anyway......

That's what Los Angeles fans think!

Moreover, Li Wan has averaged 16.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks per game so far, shooting 43.1% from the field, 39.1% from three-point range, and 83.6% from the free throw line. Just 1.6 turnovers per game.

This statistic is not compared with anyone, and it is still enough to be an All-Star.

It's just that in the All-Star level, there is no advantage......

But is the All-Star Ratio just stats?

The popularity bonus off the field is also important!

Los Angeles fans: It's our holiday after all!

When they saw that Li Wan was so close to the starter, most fans in Los Angeles only had one sentence in their hearts: take this as the only chance in their lives to help Li Wan squeeze into the All-Star starter......

It's not just Los Angeles fans who think this way.

Domestically, it is also busy.

"You have one vote, I have one vote, my brother will make his debut tomorrow!"

"If you don't do it, if I don't do it, Li Wan will be defeated!"

"You work hard, I work hard, and my brother will have a miracle!"

"If you don't vote, I won't vote, when will Li Wan come out!"

……

Li Wan was so close to the All-Star starter that it made them very excited.

No, the slogans are all shouted!

It is said that the momentum frightened the little sisters of Ha Han Hari next door, and they were all complaining in super talk: This is too much of a rice circle! No, we need to step up!

No one could have imagined that Li Wan's birth would accelerate the development of "fan circle culture".

This may be the worst influence that Li Wan has had so far.

Of course, there is one thing, Li Wan can guarantee that he will definitely not "collapse", so fans don't have to worry about whether he will have a friend in Guangdong.

Speaking of which, this is not only the case with "Li Wan", but also with "UAE Bar".

Although the performance of the UAE rookie season so far has not been very good, it is much lower than everyone's expectations......

However, if you can see a Chinese player during the All-Star Weekend, that is one!

At this time, Chinese fans still know that the muzzle of the gun has always been external.

Li Wan is calm about this matter, and David Stern has not yet expressed his position, which means that the original change in the All-Star voting rules is likely to happen again.

Having a longing for the uncertain is not Li Wan's style.

His idea has always been not to have too much hope, and when he really achieves his goal, he will say: this is not really a big deal......

It's just that the media thought he had started to pretend.

This result......

Not bad.

The all-star topic didn't get any exciting answers from Li Wan.

A reporter asked Li Wan what he expects from tonight's matchup with Deron Williams: "What kind of performance do you think you will play, better than him, or worse than him?" ”

After the question, he added: "In the first stage of voting, Delon is only ranked 6th among Western defenders......"

The meaning of this is clear and direct: no, no, it won't be the third and the sixth, right?

Li Wan glanced at the guy's work card, ESPN......

No wonder!

Li Wan once suspected that these people had all been trained at UC.

If you do a big thing, you can also make them all over the city.

"One thing I can be sure of ......" Li Wan looked at the reporter and said, "I think he wants to beat me more now than I want to beat Deron Williams, because I'm ahead of him." ”

"So ......"

"You should interview the challenger and see what he thinks!"

Although he knew the reporter's thoughts, Li Wan still did what he wanted and began to pretend.

Mainly, he knows very well that now, in the eyes of Deron Williams, he must be a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.

Since the relationship cannot be eased, then simply deteriorate to the end!

There are so many players in the league, they can't all be brothers, right?

As soon as Deron Williams heard this, a fire rushed to his head at that time, and he couldn't control it like eating mustard, and nodded with a calm face: "Yep, then let's see what this newcomer is capable of!" ”

Pick, challenger?

I'm the absolute core of a team, challenging you a rookie?

It's a shame for what you said!

"Chubby" was angry......

The hostility of the Judah towards Li Wan also reached new heights.

40 minutes before the game, when Li Wan walked out of the tunnel of the visiting team, he could clearly feel that his ears were "buzzing".

Depend on......

It's almost tinnitus!

Fortunately, the regular season is only once, and it will take a few more times, which is definitely torture.

Li Wan felt a little sorry for the other teams in the Northwest Division, because they had to come here twice every season just for the regular season, and if they added the playoffs, four or five times a year, it was exciting to think about.

If you change teams in the future, you should also stay away from the Northwest Division......

The invective of the fans filled Li Wan's ears, but this was the matter on his mind.

It's been two months since the season, and the "back-to-back" has been played twice, and they have also beaten the Bulls and the Celtics respectively, especially the last one, which is still on the stage of the "Christmas War".

Li Wan is not a fledgling pure newcomer now.

With experience, there is less fear of away boos.

Even if the Energy Solution Arena is the league's famous "devil's home field", Li Wan's feeling is just ...... just so so。

It will have an impact, but not so much that it will make him lose his temper.

Kobe probably didn't think he had grown to such a point, and seeing that he was still tying his shoelaces, he spat out disdainfully: "Is this scared by the Jazz's home court?" Are you going to tie it until the end of the game? ”

There is a kind of cold, which makes your mother think you are cold;

There is a kind of fear, which makes Kobe Bryant think you are afraid;

Li Wan still tied his shoelaces unhurriedly, stood up and stomped his feet twice, feeling that it was almost over, he pulled the white bracer on his hand.

It is worth mentioning that as he played more and more matches and his performance became more and more present, his bracers also attracted the attention of some reporters, who recorded the bracers that Li Wan wore against different opponents in each match.

Yes......

Sometimes, these journalists are so perverted!

Especially the male reporters, who are not interested in women's stockings, but are interested in his bracers, and look like they want to do something on them.

Li Wan can't say anything yet, and if he does, he will be fined, it's really ......

Free America!

They found some patterns in this, and the color of Li Wan's bracers would change with the color of the opposing team.

For example, he wore a white one today, and he wore a red one when he played against the Rockets before.

What makes them a little strange is that it is rare to see Li Wan wearing green, such as when playing against the Celtics, he wears gold bracers......

The reporters felt very strange, and only after the interview did they know: Li Wan does not like green.

This provoked a revolt from some Green Conservation Societies: what did Green do wrong, why not like green!

Fortunately, there are not many people in the association, and it has not caused any major impact.

Li Wan has also joined the NBA's "quirks" lineup.

However, compared to others, he vomited before the game, and he didn't change his socks for a season, his "quirks" are clean and hygienic, and he feels comfortable in two words: comfortable.

Delon entered the stadium cheering, and instead of the Jazz fans who were fanatical about him, Delon immediately looked at the bench opposite.

That Chinese man......

He seemed to be telling a joke to his teammates, and the smile on his face was very bright.

Shh

Delon gritted his teeth to warm up.

Li Wan's laughter gave him another reason to beat this rookie!

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups of the two teams at this time:

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

Although Bynum, who was wearing a jersey, looked at the name of the Lakers at the No. 5 position in a daze, a week has passed, but judging from the examination results, I don't know why, his ankle still hurts.

Jazz: Deron Williams at No. 1, Ronnie Brewer at No. 2, Kirilenko at No. 3, Boozer at No. 4, Oku at No. 5;

It was this lineup that tortured Da Yao a little painfully.

After 7 games in the series, the average shooting rate per game is only 44%, which is a bit low for an interior player.

However, if Yao Ming dragged down Maddie because of this, it is not necessary.

Maddy averaged 25.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in these seven games, shooting 39.4% from the field and 25.0% from three-point range. With a salary of 16.9 million a year, his efficiency is really not higher than Yao Ming, who has a salary of 12.6 million a year.

Odom jumps to the ball for the team.

As soon as Li Wangang got the ball, it caused a "tsunami" on the sidelines.

Deron Williams looked at him with a defiant gaze: "Come on, rookie, let me, the challenger, see what the All-Star vote is ...... third"

Before he finished his trash talk, Li Wan had already thrown the ball to Kobe.

"Excuse me, what did you say?"

"Actually passing the ball? Hey, coward! ”

DeLong saw that Kobe Bryant had a singles posture, and concentrated on fighting with Li Wan.

"That's what you said, if you want to pass the ball, you're a dog!"

It's just that, in just one round, Delong's mouth was like glue, and he couldn't speak. Li Wan said this, he really didn't know how to answer it......

Is it true to say "I still use a pass to deal with you"?

Doesn't that confirm the fact that he's a dog!

Where is the point guard who doesn't pass the ball......

But he lost his voice, Li Wan spoke again, and returned the original words: "Coward!" ”

"Don't you dare too?" Delong held back for a long time and held back such a sentence.

Li Wan smiled, he felt like he was arguing with elementary school students, and waved his hand: "You better go back and practice your trash talk!" ”

Boring!

It's really not interesting!

It would have been nice if I had traveled fifteen years earlier, and the old men from the 90s would have spoken nicely.

"Huh!"

On the court, Kobe Bryant on the wing operated and hit a mid-range two-point shot in front of Kirilenko.

Kirilenko was the main force for the Jazz in restricting Maddy in the playoffs.

Also the league's top wing defender.

But in fact, he wasn't very effective defensively against super outside scorers.

Take Kobe Bryant......

Although Kirilenko has a brilliant record of four Kobe Bryants with a hat. But in the playoffs, the two played against each other in 13 games, and Kobe Bryant had a 10-3 record. In terms of statistics, Bryant averaged 31 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting 48.5% from the field.

Therefore, some supergiants who have been limited by Kirilenko should really reflect on whether they are supergiant-level stars......

If you really have to talk about it "at some point", then Millsap on the Jazz bench has something to say!

Oku serves to Delon.

The cheers at the scene were so loud that "Little Fat" looked like the emperor of Utah.

Just after half-time, Boozer was at the top of the arc.

The Utah Jazz, since the day Jerry Sloan came in, the style of play has not changed.

In the past 21 years, he has also played 21 years of blocking and dismantling!

He Sloan is the promoter of the league's blocking and demolition tactics, and has developed this tactic to another level, and the "small blocking and big mutual demolition system" is basically the structure completed by him. Popovich's Spurs have a number of other head coaches who can be seen in the use of pick-and-roll tactics.

Li Wan saw Delong sneering at Boozer from time to time, and immediately sneered: "What, are you ready to be a dog?" ”

Delon, who was about to close the ball to Boozerze, heard this, and took two steps back with the ball, allowing his teammates to pull him away.

Dog?

Scold!

He's going to single Li Wan!

Play and play, make trouble, don't make jokes about the "chubby" single.

Li Wan's expression became focused.

At his peak, Deron Williams was also known as a "bare-footed finisher", known for his dribble rhythm changes and double change of direction.

Most importantly, he also has a stocky body.

Even if he doesn't shake off his opponent, when his opponent's center of gravity shakes, he can crush like a tank and complete a layup.

It was also this trick that made "58" have no temper at all.

Li Wan knew that he couldn't defend himself, so he held on to his best defensive tactic: calling people!

Kwame-Brown coughed in understanding.

Li Wan boldly blocked it, because there were people behind him, and he didn't care which way Delong went, no matter where he went, Li Wan blocked his right.

Delong "deceived" Li Wan in this way and rushed into the inside line, but behind Li Wan, another "big black man" rushed out, and under the interference of his long arm, Delong made a layup.

Oku grabbed the rebound, and a small throw that seemed to have pressed the slow release button missed.

He is still more suitable for putting "cold arrows" on the outside.

Odom protected the rebound.

Fortunately, he was one step faster, or else he would have had to let Boozer grab an offensive rebound.

Phil Jackson didn't say anything, the Jazz team was quite fierce in grabbing rebounds, averaging 3~4 more rebounds per game than the opposite side. Bynum wasn't there, Kwame Brown was on the court, and it was predictable that the rebounds would blow up tonight.

If the Lakers want to win tonight, they have to play efficiency.

"Is this your defense? I can't see you in front of my eyes! DeLong tried to launch the "trash talk challenge" again.

Li Wan's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were constantly observing the running position of his teammates, and he replied lightly: "It turns out that you just scored a goal?" ”

"Then I'm still ......"

Delong's expression froze, and he wanted to fight back, but Li Wan didn't wait for him to reply, and suddenly held the ball.

Again?

Anyway, let me finish the trash talk!

Rookies don't talk about martial arts!

DeLong reacted immediately, and the words stopped when they reached his mouth, almost biting his tongue.

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

Delong, who had just moved half a step sideways, suddenly hit the "iron plate", and at this time, his teeth really bit his tongue, and his expression suddenly became painful.

Lewan had already rushed inside to challenge Boozer and pulled a little space to the left, and Kwame Brown understood and used his mobility to overtake Oku and enter the interior early.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

When the ball arrived, Kwame Brown completed the dunk with both hands.

“fxxk you!”

With both hands clenched into fists and shouted, Kuamei looked fierce, but when he arrived in front of Li Wan, he raised his hand and high-fived Li Wan naughtily.

Kwame Brown doesn't know much, but his ability to block and pick and roll is among the best in the league, thanks to his excellent physical fitness.

Oku bent down to pick up the ball a little helplessly, and at this moment, he felt a little like Da Yao at that time.

The pace is too slow, and I really have more than enough heart.

The ball was given to DeLong again.

As soon as he arrived in the front court, Li Wan clapped his hands provocatively and asked him to singled himself again.

Deron Williams looked at Kwame Brown behind Li Wan, and then at Boozer, who was actively blocking, and made up his mind: Forget it, the dog is the dog!

He can shake off defenders and shoot, but when he attracts defenders, he has more options to pass the ball to his partner.

Boozer is the Jazz's "scoring champion" this season, averaging 21.1 points per game.

Delon squeezed Lee Wan away with his weight and gave Boozer to the fast down, and the "New Utah Twins" completed the linkage, and Boozer scored the first 2 points of the Jazz game.

The "anti-bone boy" is short and short, but the offensive skills as a big forward are still basically full.

"Hello, dog!"

Li Wan gave Delong a new nickname.

Delong almost couldn't help but go straight and punch Li Wanlai.

If Li Wan hadn't come to Ah Tai with such a combination punch......

He must have thought he could win, but if he lost, it would be a lifetime thing.

Like Atai, 50 years later, he appeared on a variety show, bragging about how hard he was when he played in the NBA, and the host suddenly said "You were beaten by Li Wan", but I was afraid that I would "die" immediately.

He pretended not to hear.

Li Wan gave the ball to Kobe Bryant again, and his mouth continued: "Seriously, you really have the ability to be a dog." ”

DeLong replied: "I thought you were the one holding the ball now!" ”

"No, are you going to compete with a rookie?" Li Wan looked surprised, "Wouldn't it?" ”

Delong:......

Why is this rookie's angle always so tricky?

"You have a higher vote than me!"

"I'm so annoyed by the popularity of ......"

Delong felt speechless, Li Wan suddenly ran up, so frightened that Delong also hurriedly followed, but Li Wan was just a pretended to run, and stopped after a tentative step, Delong ran too fast, but pulled away from him a little.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Kobe Bryant won't pass the ball!"

Li Wan comforted him, as if he was comforting a kindergarten child.

Delong:......

"Huh!"

Kobe Bryant scored again, and when he returned to defense, he glared at Li Wan.

Do you have to take me with you if you TM talk trash?

Apparently he heard what Li Wan said just now.

Li Wan gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome!" ”

successfully harvested Kobe Bryant's white eye.

Delong, who completely fell into the disadvantage in the "mouth cannon" link, had a sharp offensive desire in the next round, and Li Wan carried him hard, which surprised Delong a little, this time Li Wan actually followed the entanglement and did not completely give him to Kwame Brown behind him.

This made Delon a little alarmed, and he hurried to find Boozer's location.

Turning his head and bumping into Kobe, he walked around the side and reached for the ball in his hand.

DeLong showed his dribbling ability and quickly changed hands under his crotch, but he forgot that on the other side of him, was Li Wan's long arm.

"Smack!"

Successful steal!

Li Wan held the ball and went down quickly.

The Jazz were very quick to come back.

There are at least two players in front of Li Wan, but the position of these guys is not completely stable.

There are still fast-break opportunities......

It's just that he can't handle it.

That......

It's up to you!

Come on, Pi, Kobe!

A horizontal pass, the angle is a bit big, Kobe Bryant expected, when he rushed, he slowly approached Li Wan, so he grabbed the ball with one hand.

Flashing and moving......

Kobe Bryant showed a "peerless good waist" to complete the goal.

At the beginning of the game, he scored 6 points in a row!

Kobe Bryant is crazy!

6-2.

During the defense, Li Wan heard Jerry Sloan's yelling: "Damn, what the hell are you doing?" ”

For such an iron handsome, you can not score, as long as the tactics are played!

But now, the tactics have not been played, and they have fallen into the opponent's defensive trap, like a wild boar running around, falling into a hole in the ground covered with dry straw.

Can he endure it?

If he can endure it, he won't eat 413 technical fouls in his coaching career!

DeLong waited for the ball and didn't speak, and he was a little upset at this point.

Li Wan fanned the wind next to him: "Yes, can you fight according to the coach's intentions?" You're so disobedient, Jerry, why don't you trade him to the Lakers for me? ”

Li Wan said this with sincerity.

Aside from the city team, let's just talk about the Jazz's tactical system - pick-and-roll plus UCLA offensive tactics.

This is a system with the number one position and the number four position as the core.

Among the many tactics of the alliance, it may also be the "run-and-bomb system", which attaches so much importance to the No. 1 position.

Delong is strong, but the system's bonus to him cannot be ignored.

Sloane:......

He had an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say.

Having studied Li Wan's coach, it can be seen that he is a very smart ball handler. It is very good to play out the intention of the manager.

No manager would refuse to coach such a player.

Including the old handsome.

When he led the team of assistant coaches to study the Lakers, his thoughts often drifted off: what would happen to him if I were to coach Li Wan.

But......

There shouldn't be anyone who can't think of exchanging the current Delong for Li Wan, right?

Wow, this newcomer!

Really sassy!

Sloan has seen a lot of people who like to talk trsh-talk, and this one is also a heavyweight......

Li Wan is doing the right thing, so the voice is loud!

You can hear it from the auditorium at the front point.

Compared to the silent Sloane, the reaction of the Jazz fans on the sidelines was much stronger, and one by one they let out crazy boos that filled the entire stadium.

Li Wan returned to his defensive position amid boos and waited for DeLong to move forward.

DeLong didn't speak again this time, and looked completely serious.

Boozer moved towards the arc this time, and he also responded positively, leaning towards Boozer's side.

Oku pulled on the other side to the outside of the three-point line, drawing Odom into chasing him out.

Kwame Brown's attention is on Leewan, ready to make up for it after the pick-and-roll.

But at the moment when he came out, Boozer turned around handsomely and cut into the basket, and Delon gave the ball to his hand as soon as possible, and the latter scored on a rebound.

A typical Jazz UCLA-style offense.

Try to open up the inside space so that the number four position has enough movement path.

Then the first and fourth positions will judge the style of play.

This shows how high the priority of point guards and power forwards is in the Jazz system.

In this round, Delon and Boozer chose to run back after the fake block.

"Oh roar, it's beautiful, dog!"

Li Wan mocked as usual, but this time Delong just glanced at him and calmly returned to the defense.

Then he was even more fired, with the remaining 7 minutes and 15 seconds of the first quarter, he scored 6 points and handed out 3 assists, but only had 1 turnover.

The Jazz also led with him and went into the break with a 28-25 lead.

"Rookie, you can't win basketball by mouth! Instead of trash talking, it's time for you to work on your bad ball skills! ”

Li Wan finished the first quarter, although he handed out 3 assists, but he only scored 2 points.

And Delong's side plus the previous assist, a total of 4 assists, scoring and assists are higher than Li Wan, which also made him recover when he left the game, and began to stir up trouble in the field he is not good at again.

Li Wan smiled and nodded: "Thank you." ”

Delong:......

Did I praise you!?

I said that instead of trash talking, you should really work on your basketball skills, just complimenting you on trash talking?

WTF!

This newcomer is too thick-skinned, right?

Delong's good mood was swept away.

Boozer next to him looked at him and shook his head slightly, when will his partner realize that his mouth cannon really can't beat Li Wan, or is it better to play with peace of mind?

Phil Jackson called the man in front of him, and he seemed to finally react, and the game began, taking out the tactical board to write and draw, and as he wrote, he said, "We can't let this guy play so easily......"

The guy he's talking about is naturally Delon!
