Aaron Iverson has been struggling lately.

Especially after the third round of All-Star voting came out.

There have been three 30+ games and two 40+ games.

Such a small person, quite capable.

His mind is on the bright side, and he wants to reclaim the All-Star starting spot.

Appreciation is appreciation, but he doesn't feel that he has reached the age where he should make way for his juniors.

This season, he averaged 26.4 points, 7.1 assists and 2 steals per game, and his points and assists were the highest on the Nuggets, and he was still a supergiant performance.

Including this game, he took out all his combat power from the beginning, after scoring the first goal with great momentum, and then scored consecutive difficult shots, even with Kwame Brown to help make up the defense, Li Wan's defense was still as brittle as Maddie's knee in front of him.

The whole world knows the reason why Allen Iverson goes to the right side, but no one can defend it, Li Wan also found it, all the ball-holding singles of this guy are forcing the defender's center of gravity to shift to the left, if you don't follow the past, he will continue to cheat, after all, your body will can't help but follow the left side, at this time, he uses a large change of direction, one step past you.

That's the breakthrough art of Aaron Iverson.

Li Wanyuan called him "the strongest breakthrough".

In fact, before the league allowed joint defense, Allen Iverson was indeed the same as Shaq, an existence that no one in the league could restrict, and it reached its peak in 01, which led to Shaq's sentence "He is the younger me!" ”

By the end of the first half, Allen Iverson had 16 points on his own.

But even so, it was the Lakers who took the lead.

Li Wan doesn't have a breakthrough like Allen Iverson, but he also has an advantage in playing Allen Iverson, and his method is ...... It's also a lie!

How the steal of "Answer" came about, the people of the alliance are basically clear.

I especially like the out-of-position interception.

In '01, Larry Brown paired "African Mountain" Mutombo and "King of Blocks" Ratliff on the inside, which allowed him to lose his position unscrupulously.

But the Nuggets don't have that kind of defensive ability.

As long as he is deceived out of position, it will be easy for Li Wan to break through or attract a pass that has been defended.

The Nuggets are averaging 110 points per game this season, which is the top three in the league, but they are also conceding a whopping 107 points, which is also in the top three in the league.

You must know that the Heat, which is currently ranked first in the East, concedes only 108 points per game.

They are known for scoring and conceding points.

Lee Wan scored 10 points in the first half, plus five assists.

Three were given to Kobe.

Not surprisingly, tonight is the rhythm of feeding Kobe Bryant "full".

Well, on the books of the main Lakers right now, Odom has never had the desire to attack, and only occasionally gets excited and actively participates in the offense.

This is also related to the fact that he smokes too much and has a lack of concentration.

Even so, he still won the "Best Sixth Man", which shows how exaggerated his talent is.

Kwame Brown can finally eat a little "cake" now, but only under the basket. His style of play has long been set, and even if he regains his confidence, it is only more change in attitude, which mainly improves the defense and is of little use for the offense.

Luke Wharton is more of a smart workhorse than a tackler, and his talent is more in the playmaking and running, and it is unrealistic to expect him to receive the ball and throw a few long distances in a row.

Therefore, only Kobe Bryant can improve his assist conversion rate.

In the first half, Kobe Bryant and Cameron Anthony were also "thunderous", and they were more energetic from the beginning, and both of them even had two fouls on their backs, both of which were given to each other.

The encounter between the representative of the league score and the soon-to-be representative of the league score is so tense and exciting.

In other words, if Anthony defends Kobe Bryant every night, then he might be able to get the "best defense" at the end of the season.

For Kobe, he really worked hard!

Before the game against the Lakers, George Karl never emphasized who was going to defend Kobe.

Everyone knows this. Everyone knows who's going to defend Kobe.

The whole court fought fiercely, and the game quickly came to 7 minutes and 15 seconds in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers temporarily lead by four points at 108-104.

Seeing that he couldn't defend his opponent, George Karl twitched his head and put Jr. Smith on the court again.

The "Anshi Rebellion" reached a bond.

Li Wan is the same as when he played the Nuggets away before, and he has a continuous ball to play Kobe Bryant's mismatch, Carmelo Anthony has Kobe Bryant in his eyes, but he has Kobe Bryant in his eyes, which is a bad thing.

First, Li Wan scored a three-pointer of his own, and then assisted Kobe Bryant to break through Jr-Smith who switched defenses with the ball in a row to complete the score.

With this wave of scoring spurts, the Lakers defeated the visiting Nuggets by 7 points, 118-111.

Allen Iverson scored 40 points and added seven assists. Li Wan scored "only" 20 points in the end, which was exactly half of his.

Although the game was lost, the data was won.

What fans love to watch the most is the star's soaring score, not to mention that Allen Iverson is so good-looking when he plays the ball.

He continued to soar like this, and Li Wan felt that the All-Star starting position he had finally won was not guaranteed. However, Li Wan did not suffer too much about this gain or loss.

After all, this is one of the league's "popular kings" for many years, with a deep heritage, Li Wan remembers that when he went to school before the time, one of the posters of "Basketball Herald" was Allen Iverson wearing the back of the Philadelphia 76ers, and all the boys in the class at that time went to buy this issue of "Basketball Herald" for Allen Iverson's poster.

It can be seen that the group of "Ai fans" is huge.

The "small group" of Allen Iverson, which was chased by domestic fans in those years, is an existence that stars of the magnitude of Kobe Bryant and Maddy can't touch.

Li Wan thinks that if he really loses to Kobe and Allen Iverson, there will be no problem.

After all, the two defenders with the most ruthless popularity traffic were met by him.

Kobe Bryant scored 15 points in a single quarter tonight and scored 38 points in the game, beating Carmelo Anthony's 25 points. Let the "melon" know once again that the future is yours, but the present is not the future.

After winning the game and winning the data, "Black Mamba" was very happy, and Odom dared to ask Li Wan loudly in the locker room "Do you want to go to the nightclub"!

Li Wan shook his head, and when the interview was over, he first walked around the door of the stadium and didn't see Yin Wanka.

Let's go?

Impossible......

I haven't given my clothes yet......

Li Wan thought about it, reacted, and went to the VIP channel.

He suddenly reacted that the courtside position where Yin Wanka was sitting today was close to Nicholson, which was almost all old people, and the Lakers management also prepared a VIP parking lot for these "honorable" fans.

Yin Wanka is not outside the stadium, so it is very likely to be in the parking lot.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Wan entered the parking lot, a car flashed. Running towards the car, the window next to the driver's seat opened, revealing a face with a sweet smile and capable makeup, which was Yin Wanka.

When she just watched the game, she was still wearing a khaki windbreaker and didn't take it off for the whole game, and Yin Wanka, who was sitting in the car, had already taken off her windbreaker.

Li Wan also knew the reason.

It was a black lace vest.

This rich girl really loves to find excitement!

Is it to pretend to be obedient to her father's well-behaved appearance every day, and she is sick?

Li Wan felt that it was very possible.

After all, she later backstabbed her father, and there was related revelations: in order to get her father's love, she spent a lot of effort to please her father.

These thoughts were just for a moment, Yin Wanka unlocked the car, and after Li Wan got in the car, the two of them didn't say a word, and got down to business first.

This battle was Li Wan's battle for the first time in half a month, and Yin Baka lay like this for a long time, half loud, as if he had just woken up, and lit a slender lady's cigarette.

The hand holding the cigarette was placed casually outside the car window, and the pink color on the nails was unexpectedly harmonious with this cigarette.

She reached out and stroked the ends of her scattered hair, brushed it back a few times, and looked at Li Wan at the same time, her eyes were almost drawn.

Looking back at the suit in the back seat of the car, Yin Wanka reluctantly said: "The clothes were sent back to you, what excuse should I have next time?" ”

This is to make an appointment next time.

Li Wan didn't think much about it: "If you want to think about it, you can put the clothes here, so that you can have an excuse at any time." ”

"Heh~" Yin Wanka smiled like a flower and nodded in agreement, "Then it's decided." ”

After smoking a cigarette, Yin Wanka has to go back to the company, and the price of coming out to watch the ball all night is that she has to go back to work overtime all night, but tonight's experience makes her feel that it is worth it.

Before Li Wan got out of the car, she suddenly asked again: "Li, do you have any plans to buy a house in the area east of Sunset Avenue?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Wan tilted his head and glanced at her.

"You can buy a set, and I think in a year you'll see that it's a good investment."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Wan is not stupid, so he can naturally understand what Yin Wanka is saying. When he got back to his car, he immediately called Taryn to ask about the situation over there, and he didn't do it directly.

The United States is experiencing a subprime mortgage crisis.

There are too many housing price bubbles, and he can't just rely on Yin Wanka's words to smash millions of dollars in vain.

However, after learning that the land tax over there has been stable at a relatively high range, and there have been rumors of investment in business circles, Li Wan feels that he can try it.

Real estate investment in the United States mainly depends on whether it is next to a business district, and whether it is next to a school, other factors have little impact. At the same time, in areas with high land taxes in the United States, the price of houses is generally relatively stable and fluctuates less.

Even if Yin Wanka's information is wrong, how much money he throws out, he should be able to recover the principal. - It is worth mentioning that Li Wan sent back 50,000 US dollars before, and his parents also bought a set of two bedrooms and one living room worth one million RMB in the magic capital.

Li Wan hadn't figured out what to invest specifically, but now that cheap information was not used and wasted, he asked Taryn to inspect it and help him choose a house of about one million there.

If a year later, there is really an investment in the business district, the return is still very considerable.

Early the next morning, the Los Angeles media continued to promote "Kobe Bryant and his Pippen".

Yesterday's performance of Li Wan made Allen Iverson suppress, but he still sent 20 plus 10 data, and the cooperation with Kobe Bryant was so harmonious.

At the critical moment, it was also his continuous cooperation with Kobe Bryant that won the game.

Li Wan, who passes the ball, Kobe Bryant who is a tackler, is there anything more "Jordan Pippen" than this?

It's just that without waiting for Lakers fans to have more imagination, the Lakers suffered a "three-game losing streak"!

first challenged the Spurs away, allowing Tim Duncan to cut down the luxury data of 30 plus 12 on the inside, and that night, he dreamed back to 03;

Then returned to the home game against the Wizards, Jamison played the same as Nowitzki, scoring 28 points in a single game, plus the play of Arenas and Jimmy Butler on the outside, and finally narrowly beat the Lakers by 7 points;

Kobe Bryant averaged 30 plus per game in these two games, and Li Wan also had a regular statistic of 18 plus 10 in these two games, and both of them played at the level they should have, but in the end they just didn't win.

The final game of the "three-game losing streak" was played by the Boston Celtics.

If in the first two games, the Lakers could still play back and forth with the opposite side, then this game with the Boston Celtics made all Angelenos understand how far the Lakers, with Kobe Bryant and Li Wan as the core, are still from the championship.

In this game, Thibodeau, the man behind Rivers, took a different path, and did not care about Kobe Bryant, who scored points, but set his sights on Li Wan in the No. 1 position.

Layers of encirclement, cutting off the connection between Li Wan and Kobe, coupled with various close defenses, this game, Li Wan was a little "exposed", with a 37% shooting rate, only 10 points, and 4 turnovers.

Kobe Bryant scored 35 points alone, but the Lakers still lost to the Celtics by 15 points......

Throughout the game, the Lakers did not get a single lead in the score.

After this defeat, there are only 4 days left in January and only 18 days left before the free trading market closes!

ESPN wrote an article that caused a heated headline - "The Lakers have reached the threshold of decision, now or in the future!" 》

Li Wan scored 52 points in a single game, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that his future is limitless, and according to his current growth rate, he will inevitably become one of the best players in the league in a year or two.

It's really not surprising if the Lakers see him as a non-sale!

The key is......

Would Kobe Bryant want to?

The whole league knows that the 30-year-old Kobe Bryant is desperate to win the championship and be the absolute core of the team.

If Li Wan grows up in two years, who will be the absolute core of the Lakers team at that time, I'm afraid no one can guarantee it, right?

Even if Li Wan is still willing to assist Kobe Bryant at that time, when he arrives in the contract year, he will have the highest salary and the positioning of the outside world in the future...... These two points alone have forced him to compete for the position at the heart of the team.

You know, there has always been a saying in the league that Pippen has not taken off the "second" hat in his entire career because he has been by Michael Jordan's side for too long and missed the best stage of his own growth and honing his ability to take charge of himself.

The way to play this thing is to be fixed......

Li Wan's temper and personality have been seen by the entire league, and he is definitely not willing to be just the second leader of the team!

"It is true that Bynum will return next season, and the Lakers are still the favorites for the championship, but don't forget, after entering the league in 05, Bynum has been reimbursed twice in three seasons!"

As a commentator, Bill Wharton rarely expressed his opinions off the court, but this time he rarely spoke in front of the media: "Maybe it's a bit alarmist, but these are really a difficult choice for the Lakers to face!" ”

Kobe Bryant's last summer is still in front of him, and if he ends up in the first round or semifinals this season, who knows what he will do this summer!

Moreover......

"There is only one last chance left for the Lakers!"

Yao Ming has just signed a two-season contract extension, and Tim Duncan and Nowitzki are unlikely to move the nest.

In addition to these three, Kevin Garnett has just joined the Celtics and is absolutely impossible to leave the Celtics once he wins the championship.

The rest can be regarded as being in the prime and can partner with Kobe......

Only Pau Gasol remains!

If you miss the Spaniards, there is one impossible option left on the market - Shaq O'Neill.

This "old diesel engine" still has oil.

Can......

Everyone knows that before proving that he can win the championship without leaving Shaq, Kobe Bryant will not be teammates with Shaq again.

And Shaq, who is constantly injured, is in his prime with Pau Gasol......

Those who don't know the ball know who is more worthy of chasing.

Barkley also regretted the current situation of the Lakers: "Winning Li Wan in the draft is the most beautiful thing the Lakers team has done in addition to keeping Kobe, but unfortunately, in this season, they selected Li Wan......"

If it was 05 and 06, when Kobe Bryant himself was still honing his skills, Li Wan was selected, then there would be no problem for the Lakers!

Now......

I was not born, and I was old.

It took 10 years for "Michael Jordan" to wait for Pippen.

You say, can "Michael Jordan" not be in a hurry?

You know, Kobe's goal is not just a Shaq, his ultimate goal is undoubtedly to become another scoring guard after Michael Jordan to win the "three-time championship MVP" achievement.

To the maximum, catch up with Jordan!

At 30 years old, every season is truly invaluable......

Just look at LeBron James, who was later 26 years old.

Why leave Cleveland?

The Cavaliers, who have squeezed the salary space into a deformity, can no longer carry his championship dream, and he desperately needs a championship to prove himself!

The 26-year-old LeBron is so anxious, let alone the 30-year-old Kobe Bryant!

Kupchak did start again.

After the loss to the Celtics, Buss Sr. called that night to ask him to restart the trade plan.

But there were dark clouds on his withered countenance.

Before hanging up the phone, he asked Old Bass again, as he had done before, "Can Li Wan trade?" ”

Old Bass, who gave an affirmative answer last time, hung up the phone after silence this time.

This meaning can be understood as default......

But if there is a problem with the transaction, and he backhands and refuses to admit it, then it is him, the general manager, who is behind the blame!

Kupchak's face was so sad that he really wanted to lock the office door and cry bitterly.

It's so hard to be the general manager of the Lakers!

Originally, Li Wan was selected in the summer, but he thought that he would get a "king" who "can attack and retreat". As a result, it became a "hot potato".

I knew that I was still fighting with Phil Jackson, and if I heard him trade early, wouldn't it be Phil who was the one who took the blame!

In his seventies, Kupchak finally understood that sometimes, when it looks like he has won, he has actually lost......

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that the media will not expect all kinds of analysis, and it is speculated that Li Wan's name appears more and more in transaction rumors.

No way, ESPN has already set the atmosphere to this extent, Kobe Bryant or Li Wan, and fools know who the Lakers choose.

Li Wan didn't seem to be bothered by the trading messages at all, he still lived his life, tried his best on the court, trained off the court, and went on the lace news.

On January 30, the league officially announced the All-Star starting list.

Kevin Garnett was the same as before, because of Yi Jianlian's threat, he was supported by public opinion and won the only All-Star "ticket king" in his career.

The All-Star roster in the East was finally released, and the starting five were: Jason Kidd, Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Howard;

Among them, Howard is on the All-Star starting list for the first time in his career.

It's time for him to go in too!

Last season's all-three in the league, and this season's stats reached the average of 20 points and 12 rebounds per game that can only be played by a top-level insider.

On the West side, the final roster is: Kobe, Li Wan, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming.

Li Wan was really surprised when he saw that he was still in the top two of the Western Guard Line.

Because Allen Iverson's performance in the last week was so hot, averaging more than 35 points per game, Li Wan secretly voted for him.

Unexpectedly, he could actually hold it!

The coalition faced skepticism from the Denver media and released a final phase of voting.

Judging from the results, 56% of Li Wan's votes came from China, and Allen Iverson also ate a lot of dividends on the other side of the ocean, of which 45% came from China.

The 10% gap is actually not obvious, it is only about 70,000 votes, and after removing the 70,000 votes, Li Wan still beat him by about 30,000 votes in this round.

In the end, Li Wan also won the final victory with an advantage of 170,000 more votes.

Interestingly, judging from the official data released by the NBA, in the last two days of January, Li Wan received more votes in various states in the United States.

It was just when the rumors about trading him were getting more and more......

California accounted for 12% of the total votes cast in Phase IV.

The others are made up of the states of the United States.

Two of these states stand out in particular.

Is this a welcome gesture to me?

Good......

New York State and Ohio each add 10 points to their impression scores!

But Ohio seems to have only one NBA team, right?

Cleveland Cavaliers ......

Could it be that I have one of the "brother basketballs" this time?

He was bored studying the voting percentage of each state, and the domestic fans were jubilant as soon as they learned the news, and their efforts for many days finally paid off, and "Li Wanba" was very lively, very lively:

"Li Wanniu pen!"

"It's not easy, it's 170,000 more votes, but squeezing out the peak Aaron Iverson, this is enough to blow for a lifetime!"

"Two Chinese players appeared for the first time in the All-Star Game, which is awesome!"

"I'm bound to the TV now, wherever I go, it must be mine on the day of the New Year!"

"Upstairs talent!"

"It's a pity that Yi Jianlian didn't get in, otherwise there would have been 3!"

"Don't mention Sister Lian, as soon as he says it, he will be angry, the sixth pick in the first round, that's it?"

"Major injuries are a real problem......

"People are good! Angrily picked up 2 points and 1 board, UAE smiled slightly, he has won the trust of the head coach! ”

……

It's not that they don't know the news that Li Wan may be traded, it's just that in their opinion, Li Wan is an All-Star starter......

Everywhere you go should be the treatment of the boss, right?

In that case, they have nothing to worry about.

And as far as Li Wan's ability is concerned, there is no need for them to worry......

He is not Yi Jianlian......

With the continuous injuries of the United Arab Emirates, he only played ten minutes many times, scored a pitiful 2 points and 1 board, coupled with the praise of the media, the number of "easy black" in China officially reached a certain scale.

At the same time, a big deal was suddenly rumored in the NBA.

Pat Lyley suddenly made a deal with Suns general manager Steve Kerr without warning, "Shark" traveled west to Phoenix, and "Hacker" Marion was used as a bargaining chip for the Suns to unlock the "Single for O'Neal" achievement.

It can be seen from here that now O'Neal is in the league, he has officially retired from the top ranks, and now he is only a player between the first line and the first line in the eyes of the general managers of each team, and because of injuries, the value is still declining indefinitely.

The "Shark" swam a total of 5 times.

From the beginning of Orlando "west" to Los Angeles, then from Los Angeles to Miami, and now "swim" to the West Coast, he will travel east twice.

Since then, though, the influence has been getting smaller and smaller each time.

But why would Steve Kerr, the general manager of Phoenix, and Griffin, the future general manager of the Cavaliers, be willing to gamble on him?

This has to be said that the iron law of league building.

All the templates for building the team of the general manager are the template for the lineup of those champion teams.

The Bulls "Iron Triangle" won two "two consecutive championships", and many stars at the end of their careers chose to follow their footsteps and form the "Big Three", and then the "OK" combination was born in 00, and the template for winning the championship of the entire league changed again.

It has become the "one inside and one outside" that most teams are still pursuing.

Maddie went to the Rockets in 04, why did the outside world look forward to it so much, because in the eyes of most media and experts, it has reached the core conditions of the "championship template".

Then, Shaq O'Neal and Wade won the championship in '06, proving that a strong enough outside player can also win the championship with an interior "second assistant".

This is also the reason why the Lakers have had scandals with every big man after 07.

Kobe, strong enough!

Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Yao Ming, whoever partners with him will guarantee a championship......

Originally, Pau Gasol went to the Lakers, and Popovich immediately said that this was a naked robbery, just because he knew that giving Kobe Bryant a Gasol could win the championship!

From this, it is understandable why Steve Kerr brought in Shaq, he just wanted to fight according to the "OK" combination model.

After all, halfway through the season, the Suns are currently ranked sixth in the West, fatigue has been shown, the potential of this team has been squeezed out, it is better to fight, it will be done, if it is not traded, push to the rebuild.

Later, it was revealed that Kerr was already targeting Stephen Curry at this time, wanting to snatch him as Steve Nash's successor, but unfortunately in the end the Warriors cut off the beard, and in desperation, he chose to resign to calm the anger of the Phoenix people.

Of course, no one knows what the situation is.

It is worth mentioning that this trend of building an "OK" combination has almost stopped in the past two years, LeBron James has been fighting the Celtics in the East for three years, learning from the pain, bringing talent to Miami, forming the "Peak Three", so far, the "Big Three" has become the championship model......

It's just that the Menglong team won the championship in 19, and the small card "single core" led the team to change the atmosphere of the league, and the Lakers got LeBron James to form an "OK" combination mode of "one inside and one outside" again.

The NBA, it's also a circle......

On the first day of February, there was such a big commotion, and the splash was also very large......

The first to bear the brunt is the Lakers, Shaq went to Phoenix, which means that they don't even have an imaginary impossible object, and there is only one Pau Gasol left on the market now!

Ready-made "champion template", to or not to ......

Kupchak was also entangled.

In recent days, he has reconnected with Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace, but the other party will bite and not let go, and there is no need to talk about it.

Kupchak also understands......

If Li Wan didn't score that 52 points, he wouldn't want it.

Now Li Wandu has become the second rookie in history to score 50 points in a single game in his rookie season after Allen Iverson, and if he does not ask to be put on the negotiating table, he is afraid that the position of general manager will be removed the next day.

Switching Kupchak to the opposite position, he is now only more resolute than Chris Wallace.

But if you have to join Li Wan......

Kupchak felt that he had lost ......

Yes, even if Li Wanshan replaced Pau Gasol, he felt that he had lost!

No way, Pau Gasol's ceiling is already there, an all-star player, the best two-in-command......

But what about Li Wan?

As far as he was doing in New York, no one knew what his limits were!

But that's from his point of view......

It's impossible to give a peak Pau Gasol and give him two first-round picks...... Right?

Kupchak, though he thought it was impossible, called and asked, and Chris Wallace listened, silent, his hands trembling slightly, gritting his teeth and forcing himself to put the microphone down gently.

Only then did he scold: "Fxxk, you!" ”

Resentful tone, resentful expression!

It was also the first time he had heard that the peak All-Stars had to be a rookie and have to take a first-round pick, no, Kupchak actually mentioned two!

Wow, the big city is different from what the world has seen!

Is it all like this?

Chris Wallace instantly felt that his pattern had not opened.

While the negotiations were at an impasse, Li Wan won the second "Rookie of the Month" trophy in his career.

The photo in the middle has changed a pose, and it is still so handsome.

In the month that just ended, even if there were cruel "7 consecutive visitors" and non-stop gossip, but because of Bynum's season reimbursement, he got more ball possession and shooting opportunities, and his average points per game in January increased again, breaking through 20 points for the first time, with an average of 21.4 points per game, and thanks to his partner Kobe, the number of assists is also full, with an average of 8.6 assists per game, which is already the league's first-class assists.

Plus 4.8 rebounds per game and 1 steal.

This allowed him to successfully defeat Kevin Durant, who also averaged a new monthly high in points per game, to reclaim the "Rookie of the Month" in the West.

Kevin Durant averaged 23.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, except for scoring, he was not as good as Li Wan, and his average point per game advantage was not obvious.

It is not surprising that he lost to Li Wan.

Durant knows this in his own heart.

Li Wan scored 52 points in a single game, and he also held back his strength to prove himself, but the problem was that he was really tired when January came, and other teams in the league touched his offensive habits, resulting in no matter how much he brushed for the rest of the month, he did not score more than 25 points in a single game.

This month is scrapped, and next month, Kevin Durant vows to work hard to get his "Rookie of the Month trophy" back!

He still has a lot of handsome poses that are useless!

Li Wan was not very satisfied with his performance last month, and his hip pull in the second half of the game almost missed his average shooting rate of 39% in January.

Three-point shooting percentage was even lower, at 35.3 percent......

It's really a "moment of brightness" with Kevin Durant!

Fortunately, there are not many rookies who have a good shooting percentage in January, including Al Horford, who has won three consecutive Eastern Conference "Rookie of the Year Awards", and his shooting percentage in January is about 45.5%.

As an inside line, this is clearly unqualified.

The Western "Player of the Month Award" belongs to Da Yao as Li Wan knows. He averaged 25.4 points and 12.3 rebounds per game this month, leading the team to a 12-3 record.

It is worth mentioning that the game with the Warriors at the end of January was the same as the original, and Da Yao's data of 30 plus 15 led the team to win.

At this time, no one knew that a winning streak that was about to go down in NBA history was about to begin!

Taryn met with Li Wan.

Li Wan asked him to buy the house, after careful comparison, he found a few experts in the industry to discuss, synthesized the opinions of these people, and chose a house with a good location to buy it, but the money was a little out of budget, about 1.3 million, after the house was bought, Li Wan still had less than 1 million left in his hand.

Fortunately, at the end of the month, Nike had already hit Li Wan's card with 50% of the first year's sneaker endorsement fee, that is, 6.25 million US dollars, otherwise, Li Wan would have tightened his belt again.

In addition, he also brought the news that David Stern called and wanted to ask if Li Wan was willing to participate in the three major challenge events.

Li Wan was not surprised.

After 52 points, he can be said to be the hottest person in the league, especially in the recent trade message, David Stern is impossible to ignore the huge topic he carries.

That is, Yao Ming's own height is not suitable for any of the three major challenge events. Otherwise, Yao Ming back then would have to choose one of the three.

It's just that Li Wan refused.

He's going to play the Rookie Challenge again, and he's going to play the All-Star Game again, plus the "Big Three Challenge" in between, does he have any rest this All-Star Weekend?

Well, the key is these three items, he is not confident that he will win the championship in any of them, so let's wait for next year's "miraculous skills" to go further......

And only if he rejects David Stern, the latter will realize his vision at another event!

"Of course I want the four of us in Ohio to play the Rookie Challenge together, it's a cool thing!"

The All-Star bench lineup in the East and West has also been selected in the past two days, and it is estimated that the event team is now arranging the rookie challenge roster.

Like him, Oden, Conley and Cook will respond to reporters' questions in the same way.

With his current popularity and the impact of rejecting David Stern's Big Three Challenge, it should be a sure thing for the four of them to enter the Rookie Challenge together.

Because only in this way can the gimmick of this rookie challenge come to the maximum.

to make up for the traffic lost by Li Wan not participating in the second day of the All-Star game.

Everything was as Li Wan expected, on February 3, just after the Lakers' game against the Timberwolves, he got the news from reporters: he, Oden, Cook, and Conley were all selected for this rookie challenge.

The remaining five spots are: Yi Jianlian, Kevin Durant, and Noah, Horford, and Brewer of the University of Florida.

All the players from the two teams in the NBA in the NCAA Finals last year will cooperate on the stage of the Rookie Challenge, especially the contradiction between Li Wan and Noah is well known, not to mention the fans, even Li Wan himself feels an inexplicable expectation!

It just so happens that the next game is the Lakers taking on the Heat away.

Coming to the enthusiastic Miami, Cook, who had just learned that he could play the Rookie Challenge, warmly entertained Li Wan and called out the hottest girl.

However, for this kind of Ying* girl in a nightclub, Li Wan just touched and enjoyed it, and did not communicate in depth. He has always avoided women with similar professions.

And as his fame grew, he even went to nightclubs less often.

In order to prevent an illegitimate child from coming out of nowhere, Li Wan's current targets are all those celebrities, models, and celebrities. In the entertainment industry, the moral bottom line is relatively low, and it is not taken seriously, let alone causing unnecessary trouble, and there are no messy ideas.

You could see that Cook was really happy, drink after drink, and never close his mouth. - I don't know if the teeth of black people will appear whiter,

On January 5, the Lakers' away game against Miami officially arrived.

Sending off Shaq O'Neal, the Heat's "swing rotten" plan was implemented more thoroughly. Except for Wade, everyone else on the team is mainly brushing points, this state, Li Wan has seen it in the New York Knicks before, no wonder Cook averages 8 plus 3 per game and still feels that he is hopeless, and this kind of team with this data really can't attract the attention of the league.

108-98, the Lakers easily walked away from Miami to win.

Li Wan seemed to be able to see that in the general manager's office, Lipper Laili showed an old fox-like smile, and said in his heart: It's stable, it's stable!

On January 7, the Lakers' next stop was to challenge the Cavaliers on the road.

As soon as he walked out of the away players' tunnel, Li Wan received a warm "welcome" from the fans in the stadium, and they all looked excited and resentful, as if Li Wan had done something to them.

It seems that so many votes in Ohio have nothing to do with Cleveland.

�

game, the Cavaliers fans ended up leaving the arena with a smile on their faces.

Yes, as they wished, the Cavaliers defended their home court and took out the Lakers who came to challenge them on the road.

Kobe Bryant scored 30 points, Li Wan scored 21 points and 8 assists, and his performance was as normal as ever.

But the Lakers still lost the game by 9 points.

LeBron James played very eye-catching, with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, just 2 assists, and won a "triple-double", with a shooting rate of 50%!

He was one of the heroes who were able to win the Cavaliers.

Also, the reason why the Cavaliers can win......

is the big Z on the inside, he played the same as Yao Ming in this game, with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, and he was powerful on the inside of the Lakers.

The Lakers lost on the inside again.

After Bynum's season is reimbursed, as long as the opponent's interior line is above the league average, whether it is offensive or defensive, the Lakers' interior line will inevitably be exploded.

Also, Odom's No. 4 position with an outside style of play plus a Kwame Brown, such an inside combination really can't make people expect much.

And after this loss, the outside world rumors about the Lakers trade reached a peak.

After all, there are only 7 days left before the start of All-Star Weekend, and in these 7 days, the Lakers must have a decision.

Judging from their current situation, if there is no big deal, I am afraid that they will have to fall in the first round of the playoffs, or the second round......

Now the problems on the inside of this team are just too big!

"OK, got it, that's a pity......"

"Smack!"

Kupchak hung up the phone, and he already knew the news of the Lakers' loss against the Cavaliers on the road.

In the past two days, he has changed his mind......

If you really build a team with Kobe and Li Wan as the absolute core, then what is missing from this team?

Michael Jordan's phrase "we're one rebound away from a championship" came to mind.

Yes!

Wouldn't it be nice to add an inside gate like Rodman?

But he really didn't expect it......

The general managers of other teams in the league are associated with collusion, and they say the same, but all the trading partners who have some ability say "Li Wan must be put on the negotiating table!" ”

Each one has a resolute attitude......

Because they all know that changes to the Lakers are imminent, and if they don't change now, then there will inevitably be even more shocks this summer.

At this time, how could the general managers of other teams let go of this opportunity for Kupchek to be the "wronged leader"?

What's more, since you Lakers came to Los Angeles, how many years have you robbed the core of others, and now that these teams have a chance to take revenge, will they be slaughtered ruthlessly?

His predicament seems to be normal!

"Whew!"

The office was silent, and Kupchak could clearly hear the sound of the wall clock "Kacha, Kacha", and the shaking of the nerves in his brain, again and again.

Now it's clear that the whole league is waiting for the Lakers to hand over Leewan.

In such a situation......

Kupchak had to formally consider trading Li Wan.

If Li Wan is taken out as a bargaining chip, then it is natural to choose the best object, and there is no doubt that it is Pau Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Although the Bulls brought out Ruel Deng and Ben Gordon, and the Pistons brought out Rasheed Wallace, as long as the Lakers released Leewan, then the other two would have to take a break.

And it's hard not to think of their follow-up moves at such a cost to run for Pau Gasol, who is best suited for Kobe, especially with the Bulls......

But!

Anyway, it's a loss to take out Li Wan and only exchange it for one Pau Gasol!

Kupchak told Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace what he thought: "I need more chips, this is a super rookie who can score 52 points in his rookie season!" ”

As he said this, the 70-year-old Lakers general manager felt his heart bleed.

Chris Wallace was calm this time, and he also knew the reaction of the other team's general managers, and he returned to the lead, which made him very relaxed.

When people work in a relaxed state, they will be more efficient.

"I can get you more out of it, man, let's video link up and I'll introduce you to a collaborator who can make us both happy with the end result!"

I wouldn't be satisfied with anything.

Kupchak muttered silently.

Let him take out Li Wan, no matter who he gets back, he won't feel that he earned.

Get your computer ready and click on the Chris Wallace video request.

In the three-way call, Kupchak saw himself and Chris Wallace, and in another frame, the man posed for the camera and slowly moved his hand away.

Kupchak narrowed his eyes.

He saw it clearly.

Otis Smith, general manager of the Magic.

When did this guy hook up with Chris.

Kupchak saw that it was him, and his face was full of surprise, this was someone he had not expected at all.

Chris Wallace also officially stated his trade plan at this time: "I will give you Paul Gasol and a second-round pick, and the Magic will give you Jamil Nelson, the starting point guard on their current roster, as well as JJ Redick and Ariza......"

"That Li Wan ......"

"Will be traded to the Magic!" Smith, the general manager of the Magic, spoke.

You don't want Li Wan?

Kupchak almost blurted out at Chris Wallace.

This person he now regards as a treasure, Chris Wallace doesn't want it?

But considering that Li Wan didn't score 52 points in a single game at the beginning, this guy didn't even mention Li Wan's name, so it's not surprising that Kupchak didn't even mention it.

This grandson is now completely captivated by the genius OJ Mayo, who is known as the "combination of Michael Jordan and Kobe"!

If Kupchak had told him what he was doing at the moment, Chris Wallace would have been excited: "You're right! ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

He's really thinking about OJ Mayo right now.

Although Li Wan is good, he observed that this guy's singles ability is not outstanding, and the scoring is mainly based on Kobe's breakthrough after being contained, or catching and shooting, and he can only rely on blocking and dismantling to get rid of the defense with the ball.

The Grizzlies don't have Kobe, and he can't perform as well as he did with the Lakers.

OJ-Mayo is different, look at his skills and his physical fitness, the future emperor superstar of the second position of the alliance!

And to sell Li Wan, he can get two first-round picks from the Magic and a second-round pick, and the Lakers also need to give him a first-round pick and an expiring contract player to balance the trade, which is equivalent to saying that he has earned three first-round picks with Pau Gasol! It can also clear the space for tens of millions of salaries.

When he does business to his job, he wants to ask who else!

Kupchak did not agree at the first time.

Even if this pay is indeed very ideal, it can meet all the problems of the Lakers now, the interior line, the wing defense, and even the offensive ability of the No. 1 position after Li Wan leaves.

Nielsen is averaging 10.9 points and 5.6 assists per game this season and has scored more than 16 points in his last three games, and is getting better and better.

With Kobe Bryant's containment, his stats can definitely get better.

But......

This matter is too serious, this is Li Wan with 52 points in a single game!

Old Bass didn't speak, he really, couldn't make up his mind.

At the same time, Li Wan also learned about this from Tyron, and when he heard that he would be traded to the Magic team, his eyes lit up.

Originally, he didn't pay attention to trade rumors, because he knew the end result, and if he left, it would be the Grizzlies.

Memphis......

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match him.

And to run there, it's to compete with Mike Conley for the No. 1 spot. - He is playing the most comfortable in the No. 1 position now, and the trend in the league in the future is to get the ball at the No. 1 position, so he doesn't need to change positions in a hurry.

The devil knows when he'll be able to get out of here......

You can't just get involved in a management deal so quickly, right?

Not to mention whether Chris Wallace listens to him or not, even if he listens, who will come to a small place like Memphis?

Orlando is different, although it is also a small city, but it has already developed!

The next few years were a strong period for the Magic.

The most important ......

If he's not mistaken, Jamison will have a big explosion next season, averaging 16-plus-7 per game and making the Eastern Conference bench at All-Star Weekend.

This shows that the No. 1 position will not have a small offensive role in the Magic team.

On the other hand, who will be the starting point guard of the Magic team next season?

Nelson and Alston, one can rush, the other can pass and catch the ball, who are these two together?

Isn't this him Li Wan?

Therefore, his status on the Magic team will not be affected.

Data and status are guaranteed.

Looking at the Lakers again, if the Lakers don't make changes for him this year, who will be the first to be held accountable if they can't produce results in the future?

It's definitely him!

How much love is now, how deep will the hate be when the time comes......

If the Lakers make a change and he doesn't go, Pau Gasol comes in, and that's the best outcome for the Lakers.

For him, not really.

The arrival of Pau Gasol will inevitably occupy a role on the offensive end, and he remembers that the "old fish" Fisher averaged less than 10 points per game, which began after Pau Gasol arrived.

Even if his tactical position is certainly higher than that of Fisher, it is unlikely that he will be higher than Gasol.

The "triangle tactic" style of play is there, and there is no example of the No. 1 position.

And after Bynum returns, he will definitely have to occupy a certain amount of shooting rights, he wants to stay here, and the ball may not be enough next year.

Over there, Nelson Jr. relied on the playing style of the Magic team next year and made it to the All-Star for the first time in his career, and his tactical status here has all declined......

How to choose, does Li Wan still need to think about it?

Other than that......

The brain circuit of Chris Wallace is really incomprehensible!

It is worthy of the general manager who gave Pau Gasol for nothing.

Don't say anything, you don't lose money when you get Gasol Jr.

This is purely hindsight, the Lakers took the initiative to send him a second-round pick at that time, because there was really no player who could balance the salary, Chris Wallace had two choices at that time: Sun Yue or Gasol Jr., his choice was to let the Lakers choose, the Lakers chose to keep Sun Yue, and Gasol Jr. went to Memphis.

Chris Wallace didn't take "Big White Bear" seriously the whole time......

Of course, Li Wan didn't know that before he scored 52 points in a single game, Chris Wallace didn't even mention his name when he was negotiating, otherwise he would definitely refresh his perception of Chris!

"But Kupchak didn't say yes to ...... at the first time"

Taryn didn't have any doubts in his words, and Li Wan knew what he meant.

I'm afraid of backing the pot, I'm afraid of being difficult to do......

The general manager of the Lakers is really tough enough!

Li Wan said: "Then let's be this bad guy, we have been wandering in the trade rumors for half a month, and it is time to have an end!" ”

To be precise, the rumors of trading him have not stopped since the beginning of the season and have reached a climax recently.

So it's not an exaggeration to express your dissatisfaction and want to leave, right?

Taryn said that he understood, and immediately called Kupchak, and as soon as the phone was connected, he heard Taryn's voice on the phone: "Li Wan, apply for a deal!" ”
