Chapter 138: The Age of the Great Championship
September 2nd.
PG1 launched the Lee Wan version of "Last Shot".
This is the seventh merchandise since "Spotlight the World on Orlando", "Mr. 52", "Beat the Blues", and "Mr. 36 Points in the Playoffs".
Prior to this, PG1 also launched the second round of the playoffs "Crazy Night" and the round of "Crazy Night" in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics.
However, so far, the first 4 models have been discontinued, and the best-selling "Beat Blues" 100,000 pieces have all been sold, and Li Wan has earned 6.9 million dollars in this set of peripherals alone.
The 4 models add up, and after removing two of the series and a little inventory, Li Wan probably earned 13 million.
This is also the reason why he does not receive many advertisements in China.
The money earned by giving them endorsements and publicity is not as much as the money made by Li Wan's own brand.
Don't consume your image value so much.
Especially after launching the "Rainbow Bracer" series with Nike, it sold very well and earned almost 3 million dollars.
In addition, the remaining balance of 7.5 million dollars in the first year of Nike's sneaker endorsement is 7.5 million dollars, and there are almost 35 million dollars on Li Wan's bank card, which is converted into RMB, and there are two small goals.
Otherwise, sell meat muffins to make money!
At present, there are only 3 models left in PG1 promotion, and the most potential of them should be the new "last shot", because this Li Wan is ready to be launched in China at the same time.
Of course, the price is definitely cheaper than in the United States.
The price that Li Wan is ready to buy is 200 RMB, which is about 1/4 of the price in the United States.
This is the same reason that Nike's shoes in the United States are much cheaper.
They all accumulate good popularity in China and use their influence to expand outward......
That afternoon, Li Wan received the first signed shoe that Nike sent him. - "Nerve Knife".
This is a spliced version of magic color and lake color, intersecting and fused, the picture is very colorful, but because of the splicing, it is not wrapped in a whole piece of skin, and the safety and stability are not enough, so there is a layer inside the shoe to form protection.
In this way, Nike simply designed a Velcro to hide the laces as well.
There's an extra layer of mystery.
Just like before Li Wan started the game, you would never have imagined what kind of shocking performance he would play tonight.
It is worth mentioning that on the "nerve knife" model for fans, there is also a design on the Velcro, which is inlaid with a translucent round small box with a small dice inside, which will keep rolling with the movement of the foot, 3 for a while, 6 for a while, 9 for a while......
It can be said that it is a small design with a full fit.
Originally, this shoe had a special "Huaxia Tour" in the summer, but Li Wan decided to play the Summer Olympics, so the Huaxia Tour was canceled, and the time for sale was also temporarily shelved.
Luckily, it was put on hold!
Nike's people really didn't expect that Li Wan would make a big move on the stage of the Olympic Games.
Now, taking advantage of this global buzz, Nike doesn't want to promote any more publicity, is there a better publicity than this? Hurriedly launched Li Wan's first "signature shoes"!
Of course, Huaxia can't do it, and the press conference still needs one, including the video MV about this shoe, which is clearly arranged.
With Li Wan's current popularity, it is indeed worth Nike's attention.
At the same time, there is another big move in the free market.
A deal that would have been made came......
The Bucks sent Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons in exchange for Richard Jefferson and $3 million in cash from the Nets.
At this time, Bobby Simmons has long since lost the style of the "Most Improved Player Award" back then, and is completely a substitute in a pure bench.
There is no potential and no future.
Other words......
Pass it on......
Yi Jianlian single-handedly replaced Richard Jefferson, the "beast wing" who averaged 22.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game last season!
This shows that the Nets are very optimistic about Yi Jianlian's growth.
Although he has been injured in his rookie season, his overall performance is still very potential, and he ......
All right!
The main reason is that the Nets have gradually begun to rebuild.
Meantime......
The Nets' lead assistant coach for the new season is "Silver Fox" Harris.
Yes, it was Harris who pressed Kobe Bryant on the bench and led the Chinese men's basketball team to the top eight in 04.
He has always admired Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian's ability to participate in the Olympic Games in 04 is inseparable from him.
Now, it's the same thing.
When the Nets wanted to send Richard Jefferson away, he recommended Yi Jianlian for the first time!
As far as Yi Jianlian's short 5 years in the NBA are concerned, the Nets' coaching staff undoubtedly values him the most, and his ability is indeed no problem, as evidenced by the fact that he scored 20 plus in a single game many times in his rookie season.
But......
The body is too brittle!
Every injury takes away from the management's patience with him.
If Li Wan is not mistaken, he will have to miss about 20 games in the new season due to injury.
However, what was originally different was that after winning the Olympic Games, Yi Jianlian now doesn't have to prove himself in such a hurry.
Although Li Wan's appearance brought him infinite pressure at the beginning, after this Olympic Games, in the eyes of the Chinese media, it is certain that Li Wan is the "successor of Da Yao".
Yi Jianlian, who didn't have so much pressure, maybe he really got used to it and stayed in this alliance.
Of course, his style of play will definitely have to change, and theoretically speaking, he is more suitable to be a spatial number four that conforms to the "small-ball era".
Template......
The Eagles' starting No. 4 spot, Marvin Williams in '05!
September 6.
I don't know if the new season training camp is about to start, and another big deal is born.
Still known to Lee, the Rockets sent Bobby Jackson, Dante Green, and a 2009 first-round pick to get the beast Artest from the Kings.
However, before the deal was announced, Li Wan already knew.
Yao Ming sent him a message in the morning: Tomatoes, Artest is coming to the rocket!
He's really worried!
With the current roster of the Rockets, as long as he and Maddie are healthy, at least they can have a little fantasy about the championship. But now that Atai is coming, in case of a "Toyota incident" and the rocket is forced to rebuild, then his last peak will be doomed to be wasted.
Although Li Wan knew that the final result of this deal was not bad, at least Artest successfully completed his mission to the space city.
But just talking about the premise of this deal, the Rockets chose to gamble at a stage where Yao Ming was least suitable for gambling, which shows that they really didn't take Yao Ming's sacrifice in the contract salary seriously.
Maybe I was grateful for a month or two, but that's about it.
It is estimated that Yao Ming was also depressed, so he sent him a message.
But no matter what, Artest's strength really can't be said, especially on the defensive end, he and Battier have made the Rockets' outside line an impregnable wall.
That's why too......
The domestic and foreign media have already blown it anyway.
As long as Artest doesn't make a mistake, then this rocket team has the strength to win the championship!
In fact, this time the experts really didn't look away.
In the original 08~09 season, the Rockets were the only team to play a full seven series games with the Lakers, and the Lakers' other opponents in the playoffs this season, including the Magic team that entered the Finals, failed to do so.
is also the same, many Rockets fans later regretted that if Yao Ming had not been injured at the time, maybe the Rockets would have been the final champion......
On September 8, after saying goodbye to Taylor all night, Li Wan set off for Ohio, where the "Ohio Four" reunited at Ohio University.
Watching his jersey slowly rise above the Ohio University arena, Li Wan recalled those youthful years.
The current Li Wan has no objection to being a "hanging B".
But in the NCAA, with Mike Conley, they fought together, defeated one strong opponent after another, and finally won the championship, and now that I think about it, Li Wan can't help but say in his heart:
It's still cool!
Then, as honorary students of the school, Li Wan and others donated 100,000 dollars to their alma mater.
This is how Li Wan's first retired jersey was born.
"Lee, I'll see you in the regular season, and I'll let you see my growth this summer!"
Mike Conley is confident.
As you can tell from his figure, he has indeed gone through some hard work this summer.
But......
Li Wan knows very well that as a representative player of the league's rapid progress, the name Conley is far from being noticed by the media.
It's Greg, I don't know, it's because I met Li Wan, I heard that he went to China this summer to straighten his bones, and I don't know if he has completely solved the hidden danger of injury, but looking at his happy old man's appearance, he should be recovering very well.
Maybe this time, he will become the rising star representative of the No. 5 position.
Of course, thinking so in his heart, before Li Wan left, he tidied up his clothes for Auden: "Can you dress a little fashionably, a person of sixty is the same as being eighty......
After speaking.
Seeing this "old man" chasing after him like a fly, without worrying at all, Li Wan can be sure that he is indeed recovering well.
On September 10, when the plane landed at Orlando Airport, Li Wan walked out of the cabin door, stretched comfortably, and looked up at the sky.
Li Wan suddenly had an impulse. I want to snap my fingers handsomely, and then shout: Orlando, your king is back!
Forehead......
Sure enough, I really can't watch too much hot-blooded, and I've seen too many people......
Recently, he reviewed "Slam Dunk" again.
Back in the rented apartment, Taryn had already had people clean it in advance, so it didn't look like a house that hadn't been back for months
As it happens, just after packing his luggage, Howard called: "Hey man, the new season is about to start, let's have a party to celebrate, shall we?" โ
Well......
It's very Howard.
However, it was a good idea, as Howard also invited new people. Before training, everyone is familiar with it, which is indeed conducive to running in with each other.
Li Wan believes that Howard has this meaning.
He agreed.
Howard, who heard his promise, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Generally speaking, this kind of early training before the start of the season, or a party, is done by the team's "leading brother".
Yes, Howard is declaring his sovereignty in such a way.
Magic team, I'm the big brother in the lead!
Li Wan was willing to cooperate with him, and he was very happy.
Peace assured to be my "Kobe"!
I, Dwight Shaq Howard, will take you to the "Triple Crown"!
During the Olympics, "Warcraft" felt like he had learned how to be the boss of a team......
Of course, Li Wan didn't know that he was thinking about this matter, otherwise he would definitely cry and laugh.
Because......
He doesn't look down on the position of the boss of the Magic team at all.
For Li Wan, the Magic team is just a better choice than the Lakers, which can get rid of the binding of Kobe Bryant and his "Pippen" image in public opinion faster, and also give him more opportunities to grow with the ball.
But if you really want him to choose a team by himself, and then brand it as his own, or even the "Li Wan era" of this team, then ......
I'm afraid that none of the top 20 choices will have Orlando's name.
Who is rare about this little ruined temple!
Therefore, at present, he is very clear about his positioning, and he is the same "mercenary of the alliance" as Kevin Durant......
It is also for this reason that he is so sluggish, and he didn't realize that Howard was already a little wary of him, afraid that he would covet the position of "Magic Team Boss".
The party was in a temporarily rented villa, and since Howard was the leader of the party, the whole style was somewhat inappropriate.
Those "celebrities" in the atmosphere group are as cool as they are.
I'm afraid that others won't know what they do.
The cloth is saved, and the cherries can't cover it.
If there is tolerance, it is even more difficult to take two steps, and you have to raise it......
But looking at their "hurry * me" on their faces, Li Wan knew......
Deliberately.
"Hey buddy, welcome to the Magic!"
"Welcome, Jason!"
"Hey, dude, we're teammates again!"
Li Wan greeted the new recruits one by one, and of course greeted Kwame Brown, he must be more enthusiastic, after all, he is more familiar.
He didn't immediately ask Jason Williams about dribbling skills, training camp was just around the corner, and it was the last few days of vacation that everyone wanted to enjoy.
A fun and successful party ended, and on September 15th, most teams chose this day to start their training camp.
In Boston, Paul Pierce changed into his training uniform and went to the training ground, and before he went in, he heard the gasp of "ho-ho-ho", thinking that there would be some good pictures, Pierce quickened his pace and pushed open the door of the training ground, inside were Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, they were already in full swing of practice.
Seeing Paul Pearce come in, the eyes of the other two people were full of energy.
With the arrival of the new season, the old guys' "Last Carnival" version 2.0 is officially launched.
In Houston, Yao Ming changed into training clothes and was changing his shoes when Artest came in, and the two of them were stunned, neither of them expected that the first time they met, they were alone.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Yao Ming handed over a reluctant warm smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
Unexpectedly, Artest took the initiative to walk in front of Yao Ming: "Yao, you may have concerns, I understand it very well, but I believe that you will soon see what I can bring to this team!" โ
Such a sincere attitude is very different from the fierce "beast" in Yao Ming's previous impressions. It also made him smile again, this time no longer reluctantly:
"Welcome to Houston, Ron!"
Cleveland, LeBron James pressed the whistle into the training field, looking at the new and old teammates who were already doing individual training in front of him, his eyes were full of confidence:
"Guys, let's make a big scene for Cleveland!"
And in the first team training match later, watching his teammates who threw the ball one by one, he was even more sure that this time he was ......
Definitely!
What do I have to say?
Cleveland, this is for you!
Well......
That's a good sentence!
In Denver, Carmelo Anthony looked at the familiar locker room closet with an unfamiliar name written on it: Chauncey Billups, with mixed feelings.
There will be no more hi dudes in the future, what's the point of playing in this NBA!
"Melon" no longer has a sweet smile on his face.
Since you can't get enough fun, let's put more of your mind on the playing field......
Thinking so, he no longer waited for the arrival of other teammates, and went to the training ground to practice first.
When he arrived, he found Chauncey Billups already practicing his free throws.
The latter also noticed the movement, looked at him, and saw that it was Carmelo Anthony approaching, and he also took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Cameron, I'm looking forward to our new season, hopefully, I can help you!" โ
In a word, put yourself in the right position......
Anthony felt a fresh breeze blowing in his face at that time, and his big brother who took him to eat, drink and have fun suddenly couldn't remember it clearly.
This new big brother is a bit intoxicating and a little addictive.
Yes!
It's time!
It's time for me Carmelo Anthony to be the "boss" too!
Los Angeles.
Kobe Bryant walked out of the parking lot with an expressionless face, and a staff member passing by suddenly remembered something, chased after him and said: "Kobe, there is a courier from you, I have been sending it for a long time, and I just put it in the locker room for you." โ
Express delivery?
Bryant was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember anything he had bought online.
Moreover, even if he buys something, it should be his own address!
I guess it was sent by a fan!
"The sender seems to be Li Wan......"
The next sentence of the staff made him stunned again.
What did that courier do when he suddenly sent me a courier?
Kobe Bryant went to the locker room with a strange look, and sure enough, he saw a courier with the sender's name on it:
Li Wan!
What a bitch......
Kobe Bryant picked up the courier and pinched it, guessing in his heart: It's so thin, it should be a document or something.
What could it be?
Thinking in his heart, Kobe Bryant didn't even look at it, and threw it directly into the trash.
He felt that if he opened it, he would be rectified by Li Wan, so he chose ......
Don't look!
As long as I don't look at it, that person won't be able to fix me.
Well......
He is indeed quite familiar with Li Wan now.
As a result, after changing clothes, Kobe Bryant couldn't help it and picked it up from the trash can again.
People, after all, can't compete with that curiosity.
Even the "Black Mamba" is no exception.
But when he picked it up, he hesitated again.
To open, or not to open, that's the question......
If you let Director Zhang explain this scene, it must be: "Oh, Kobe Bryant and the trash can battle wits and courage, this is good-looking, let's see what Kobe will do with it......"
"Survey!"
In the end, Kobe Bryant still tore it apart.
Inside is the photo of him holding Li Wan, next to which is a passage from Li Wan: Thank you, Pippen!
Gan!
Let's just say you can't open it!
Kobe Bryant was so angry that he shoved it back into the trash.
"That bitch actually said Lao Tzu was Pippen?"
That night, Kobe, who was already asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and scolded fiercely.
Punishment!
Wait!
He can't wait for the schedule of the new season to come out and put a mark on the date of the game against the Magic!
โnice๏ผ Dwight, you're getting more and more skillful now, and it looks like you've grown a lot in the national team this summer! โ
The first day of the Magic team's training camp was an intra-team training game, led by Li Wan and Howard respectively.
At the beginning of the game, Howard's performance was very active, continuously outputting Gortat behind him.
The current "Polish hammer" is indeed a hammer.
The under-the-basket duel was completely suppressed.
Ewing was in tears off the court, and he felt that Howard must have absorbed his earnest lessons from last season and strengthened them during the summer national team.
"Warcraft" is about to leave the division!
Tremble, the whole alliance, the "second generation of apes" is coming back!
Ewing believes that Howard, who has evolved in this way, will become the absolute overlord of the forbidden area.
Don't look at it as just such a turn, but with Howard's explosive physical fitness, it's so difficult to prevent!
Howard became more and more excited when he heard Ewing's compliment, and he also showed off his "new skills" in particular.
Two consecutive 45-degree angles are played in the middle distance.
Yes.
This season Howard also developed a mid-range shot!
Li Wan has an impression of this matter, and in the first month of the new season, Howard still showed it from time to time in the game.
It's just that he probably discovered later that the position where he jumped shot seemed to be able to easily complete the dunk by taking a step forward......
A 40% shooting followed a 100% slam dunk......
This is still a hairy cast!
Gradually, this skill was lost.
"Kwamei, come up!"
Li Wan used their team's substitution opportunity at this time.
"Show him a Finals-level defense!"
Li Wan patted Kwame and then dribbled to the front court himself, and the defender was Michael Petrus.
Petrus, nicknamed "French Jordan", is also one of the members of the 03 "Golden Generation", and the order is not low, the 11th pick in the first round.
Explosive physicality is his strength in the draft.
It's just that during his 5 years with the Warriors, he didn't have the opportunity to hone his ball-handling ability, but instead developed a very stable three-point shot and a very good individual defensive ability.
With his style of play, he has become synonymous with a wing player who can defend and catch the ball and shoot.
Li Wan in the NCAA period is almost the same style of play as him, receiving and shooting on the offensive end or receiving the ball for layups in the air, and has a good wing defense ability on the defensive end.
So even though Leevan's physicality wasn't as outstanding, Michael Petrus became his template.
This can also be seen why most players are not up to the level of their own template.
Because of the template given by the scouts, most of the abilities are only stronger than the player.
Li Wan continued to lower his crotch, shook Petrus's center of gravity, held the ball and cut in, and did not directly shake off Petrus, but in the confrontation, he still scored the ball!
Stan Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction.
It's worthy of my father, no, it's worthy of Li Wan!
Van Gundy watched all the games in the Olympic Games, and he could see at that time that Li Wan's progress in holding the ball and breakthrough ability, and now facing Petrus's ability to hold the ball, it makes him believe that Li Wan will better complete the task of the Magic team's "sharp knife platoon" in the new season.
This "knife" is sharper!
Petrus looked at Li Wan, who was jogging back to defense, with some surprise in his eyes.
At first, I heard that he was Li Wan's template.
His thought was, what the hell could this template be me?
Now, oh no, not now, but from the second month of last season, his mind has changed:
Can this special template be me?
I guess my template is him, right?
What am I better than him?
Seriously......
Michael Petrus really felt that Li Wan lived the way he wanted to be.
This handsome appearance of breaking through with the ball is what Michael Petrus thinks if he can hold the ball on the court.
"Hey, Dwight, I'll bet $100 with you, and you won't be able to score the ball in the next round, do you dare to bet?"
When it was Howard's turn to attack, Li Wan shouted at Howard.
When Howard heard this, his face was unconvinced, and he secretly said in his heart: Didn't you see Lao Tzu's state just now?
Without even thinking about it, he agreed: "Then you are ready to sign the check, Lee!" โ
He didn't take '01 champion Kwame Brown seriously.
Champion vs. Champion......
There are also gaps!
"White Chocolate" dribbled past half court at this time and was about to direct his teammates to run, but Howard stood two steps outside the three-second zone, holding Kwame Brown behind him and making a preparatory move to ask for the ball.
Li Wan's voice was so loud, Jason naturally heard it, originally he wanted to let Howard receive the ball in a more comfortable position, but now seeing that he is so confident, he did not hesitate and passed the ball over.
Successfully catching the ball, Howard's expression at the moment can definitely advertise for Rejoice, while blowing up the ball, his ass pushed back, and then turned around quickly, but he was faced with the angry expression of Kwame Brown, who should have been pushed away by him.
โfxxk you๏ผโ
After a loud scolding, there was a "bang" sound.
Howard's goal, didn't score!
Not only did he not enter, but the whole posture of the shot was completely deformed.
Ewing, who was quite happy just now, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart, also froze for a moment with a stunned expression at this time.
This......
Why did you go back a year ago?
No, it's not as good as it was a year ago!
In fact, from his point of view, it was clear that Howard did not completely push Kwame Brown at that moment. He took a small step back, and the most important center of gravity did not shake at all, and quickly moved sideways to complete the interception.
"Pretty, Kwame, that's it!"
Li Wan waited to give a high-five to Kwame Brown, and then said to Howard, "Man, don't forget my 100 dollars!" โ
Howard was very unhappy, full of unconvinced, so when it was their turn to attack again, Howard took the initiative to say to Li Wan: "Do it again, do you dare?" โ
"Yes!"
Li Wan's answer was too crisp, Howard became more and more unhappy, holding back his strength, this time he exerted more force, but he soon found out that something was wrong......
No!
Why is this guy ......
It's so hard to top!
Howard also deliberately worked on his back this summer.
No matter how much the spear does not fall, it is all under his back, disarmed and surrendered!
He really didn't expect it......
There are still such brave people in the world!
He suddenly remembered what he had just thought:
There is also a gap between the champion and the champion!
Co-author I'm below, I'm 0?
"Bang dang!"
Not in again!
One time it may have been luck, but both times it was a similar situation, and even because Howard increased the number of pouts this time, Kwame Brown's core ability was undoubtedly revealed......
"Warcraft" is really hard to beat him!
Li Wan was not surprised at all, you must know that even after Da Yao gained weight in the first year, it was a very laborious thing to single Kwame Brown under the basket.
It wasn't until Da Yao completely gained weight and really took root in the ground that Kwame-Brown gradually couldn't stand him anymore.
Yao Ming has such a stage, Howard, whose lower limb strength is not outstanding among players of the same type, how can he succeed in basketing singles?
If Howard wants to deal with Kwame Brown, he has to be sharper with catch-and-shoot.
Or a second offense after grabbing a rebound yourself.
Playing Kuamei with explosive physical fitness is an unstable footing, which is the way to gain the upper hand.
Li Wan knew the two of them well, so he naturally dared to make this bet with Howard.
The intra-team confrontation training ended quickly, and Li Wan took the check signed by Howard for 1,000 knives for him, and pushed it back with a smile: "Man, as long as you promise me a request, I ......can do without this money."
"What?"
Howard looked at him curiously.
It's not that he is reluctant to pay a thousand dollars, last summer, he just signed a 5-year contract with a maximum salary of 85 million, and 1,000 dollars is now in his eyes, just a tip casually stuffed into the neckline of a bitch.
Li Wan also knew that Howard didn't look down on this thousand knives, and he just wanted to use this bet to tell Howard what he thought:
"From now on, your singles practice with the ball under the basket must be Kwame Brown, and when you can score easily on his head, this requirement will be nullified......"
Howard probably didn't expect Li Wan's request to be this.
This......
It just went to his heart.
Being confined like this by Kwame Brown today, Howard is also holding his breath in his heart!
Even if Li Wan doesn't say it, he has the idea of going head-to-head with Kwame Brown again......
Really Mengnan, dare to face Mengnan!
"Okay, Lee, I promise you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, and Li Wan high-fived him, and the agreement took effect.
So ......
Howard should be able to adapt a lot when he faces the Lakers' top defense in the future...... Right?
Yes, even if the new season has not yet started, Li Wan is already preparing for the finals.
Kwame Brown's top defense under the basket is certainly better than that of "Crunchy Sharks", and if Howard can score easily above his head, then he can definitely score easily on Bynum's head.
Of course, as far as Howard's two shots, Li Wan didn't expect that by the time of the finals, Howard would be able to score easily against Brown with the ball under the basket.
As long as he can adapt to this intensity, Li Wan will be very satisfied.
Over the next few days, the training camp gradually got on track.
After the new teammates became more integrated into the environment, Li Wan also officially asked Jason Williams for dribbling breakthrough.
This scene was so deeply impressed in the mind of "White Chocolate" that when he was interviewed n n years later, it was still unforgettable:
"I had only been on the team for a few days, and during the daily training, he suddenly walked up to me and said very seriously, "Hey, white chocolate, I want to improve my dribbling ability, can you give me any good advice?"
"At that time, he was already the hottest star in the league, and he also beat Mengpachi in the Olympic final, but he was still humbly studying and making up for his shortcomings, and I was like, God, do you still want to improve? No matter how you progress, will the rest of the alliance still live? god๏ผ I'm glad I didn't ...... with you."
His impression of Li Wan also changed completely in this time when Li Wan took the initiative to ask for advice.
"He was destined to succeed and become a great player......"
This was the last thing White Chocolate said when he recalled this past, and it was the only thought in his mind at the moment.
"sure, of course!"
He happily agreed to Li Wan and taught him his entire career understanding of ball control breakthroughs.
After Li Wan learned more about some details, it was boring training......
Sure enough!
If you don't have enough talent, you can make up for training!
He kind of understands why there are so many small details in Kobe's back singles. If only he could smoke a cigarette in the air like Michael Jordan and wait for his opponent to land first before making a move.
What little details does he need to study!
Li Wan is the same, if he is really allowed to squeeze all his talent dry, will he still need to practice dribbling breakthrough skills like this?
"White Chocolate's" passing style was joined by a proficiency panel package as Jason Williams patiently guided Lee Wan through the rhythm of the ball. It's just that Li Wan shouldn't be able to learn......
Such bells and whistles!
What's there to learn......
"Jason, how do you do that elbow pass?"
Can't learn a fart!
If you don't play handsome, what kind of ball do you play!
This scared Stan Van Gundy so much that he looked at Li Wan and couldn't help but remind, "Lee, your main task is to score...... You haven't forgotten, have you? โ
In fact, after the career of "White Chocolate" from the Heat, the whole style has become very down-to-earth.
But the impression of this thing is really hard to get rid of!
Van Gundy will never forget the basketball that suddenly flew towards him in a game against the Kings n years ago......
It didn't feel much better than when his brother was holding Mourning's thigh.
With the further improvement of Lee's dribbling skills, Stan Van Gundy has also set the starting list for the Magic team in the new season:
No. 1 position: Li Wan;
Position 2: Raja Bale;
Position 3: Tekoglu;
Position 4: Lewis;
No. 5: Howard;
Then there was the bench, with Jason Williams on the first bench and Arroyo on the second bench; Raga Bale's replacements are Michael Petrus and Bogans; Tekoglu's substitute is also Petrus; Lewis' replacement was Antonio McDyce; The bench in the No. 5 position is naturally for Kwame Brown, who came for Leewan.
Next to the water cooler sat Gortat, Brian Cook, Adonal Foyer;
At the beginning of October, Otis signed Tyronn Lue, who has a "you know how to play" with a base salary.
This is the final spot on the Magic's 15-man roster.
The Orlando media were quite satisfied with Otis's summer moves, giving them an A-evaluation.
If Oran Multimedia is its own, then ESPN's score for Otis should be considered fair, and it also has an A- rating.
Above Otis, there is only Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers!
His operation reached A+!
But it's also normal, no matter how strong the Magic team is, it's also on the bench, and the Cavaliers have almost strengthened the entire starting lineup.
Can this be compared?
It is also for this reason that the Cavaliers are second in the list of predictions for the new season finals by major media, only behind the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Even the Celts were squeezed behind them.
It's just that with the official release of the schedule of each team for the new season on October 5, Li Wan has reason to suspect that this is building momentum for LeBron and Kobe.
Two of the strongest "monolithic weapons" in the current alliance.
LeBron James, who won the "scoring title" last season, will have a strong impact on Kobe Bryant, who sat on the throne this summer!
The slogan "23vs24" was shouted again.
Combined with the predictions of major media two days ago, the Lakers and Cavaliers are the two strongest teams in the new season.
For a while, the new season has not yet been played, and the names of the two teams in the finals have been written:
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Los Angeles Lakers!
And this year's "Christmas War" ......
It's the warm-up for the finals!
Yes, on December 25, the "Christmas dinner" arranged by the league is the Lakers to take on the Cavaliers at home.
As for the Magic team that some media speculated before......
They do have a "Christmas War", but not the Lakers, but the Celtics, who eliminated them in the playoffs last season.
Obviously, in the eyes of the league, the goal of the Magic in the new season should be to continue to challenge for the seat of the Eastern Speakers, and the first thing to do is naturally revenge and pick out the Celtics who defeated them in the Eastern Finals......
And then talk about the rest......
Of course, if there are any favourites, then all four teams are included.
All have a chance to win the championship.
There are also the Spurs, the Rockets, ......
This season has not yet started, but it has already made fans full of expectations, ESPN 8 experts in the "round table" to talk about who the final champion of the 08~09 season will be, there are rare 6 different answers!
Just like after Michael Jordan retired, NBA guards bloomed, and under the "big four", there are also Arenas and Michael Reed
, Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen and a number of other excellent No. 2 positions......
"OK" disintegrated, "Stone Buddha" is getting old, Kobe Bryant, who just won the first Finals MVP of his career, is not stable, and the current league has officially entered the "era of competition for the championship"!
Who will be the next Michael Jordan or Shaq O'Neal, for the time being, I really can't give an accurate answer.
Some are thinking about the championship, while others are staring at the schedule.
Take Kevin Durant's children's shoes, for example.
His eyes hadn't left the schedule for 15 minutes, and he was watching......
It is the first game opponent of the new season for the Oklahoma City Thunder......
It's no one else......
It's the Orlando Magic team with Leewan!
What is called "the old enemy road is narrow", this is the "old enemy road is narrow"!
However, it is just right......
It got Kevin Durant's mind.
He hopes that he can meet Li Wan as soon as possible in the new season.
He wants everyone to know that although Li Wan is brave enough to be invincible in the Olympics, he Kevin Durant is still above him!
"Best Rookie" is not given to me, it is wrong!
Kevin Durant has his heart on Li Wan, and Li Wan is ...... at this time
Opponents in the study of preseason.
There are no newcomers to this year's Magic team, and there is no need to scout any players, so Stan Van Gundy has long said that the preseason will also be rotated as a regular season, and this is also to grind in the team's chemistry as soon as possible.
Although the starting lineup was changed.
But this set of "star-studded" style of play was summed up by Stan Van Gundy at the end of the regular season and the playoffs last year. It's like saying that the whole team's system has changed.
The cycle of this adjustment will naturally be long.
Of course, Li Wan also believes that even if it will be played as a regular season, it is impossible to really let their main team play in the preseason for so long, the season has not started, and no manager will be so sneering about his players.
Especially "Coach Anthy", he is very experienced......
The main Magic team also included two domestic games in the preseason.
The NBA's trip to China this time, the Rockets, Nets and Magic are among them, and it is of course a good thing to return home, but if the schedule is too tight, it will be torture.
No less than playing "back-to-back"......
"Hey, Lee, did you see it when you came?"
Kwame Brown entered the house at this time and asked Li Wan excitedly.
Li Wan knew what he was talking about, and nodded: "I saw it." โ
The makeup photos for the new season had been taken a few days ago, and he and Howard, as the absolute core of the team, took a core photo, and then made a large poster and pasted it on the advertising wall of Amway Arena.
Oran Multimedia also cooperated with the new "Hardaway and Shaq O'Neal"!
Don't ask why you don't say the "ok" combination of the Orlando version.
Q is that we Orlando also had an internal and external combination back then, and the results were also very good, all the way to the finals, but in the end lost to the peak "big dream" of the Rockets.
They believe that Li Wan and Howard can definitely restore Orlando's glory.
No!
It is to achieve greater glory!
It's just that when Howard saw this report, he was a little unhappy, who is Hardaway and who is O'Neal?
He always felt like these media cubs were hinting at something!
Tekoglu also entered the locker room at this time, saw Li Wan there, and when he passed by, he patted him on the shoulder cordially and said, "Morning!" โ
He also saw the poster, but he was not angry.
With Li Wan's performance in the playoffs and the performance of defeating the luxurious Dream Eight in the Olympics, the Magic team would be fools if they didn't take him as the absolute core of the team.
Is Magic's management stupid?
Foolish!
But when there is no problem with the contract and the team's salary space, it is not so stupid......
For Turkoglou in a contract year, the team's status dip would have been a cause for concern.
However, after such a long time in the training camp, Li Wan still gave him the right to organize and did not dominate the ball, which is a good thing for him.
As long as he has the ball, the stats certainly don't have to worry about.
The data is good, the team's results are good, so does he have to worry about his next contract?
So the status of the team, he doesn't care at all.
At the same time, he is also more and more grateful to Li Wan.
From Tekoglu's point of view, Li Wan can completely dominate the ball and organize and attack with one hand.
If there are still physical concerns in his rookie season, then according to his observation this month, Li Wan's physical fitness is much better than before.
There is no such thing as organizing an attack and grasping it with one hand, and the physical strength is insufficient.
Unless you put in the defensive end at the same time, it may still be a bit insufficient......
But in terms of the configuration of the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, a bunch of defensive "tool men", Li Wan does not need to consume much physical energy on the defensive end.
There is no reason to affect Li Wanba's control of the ball, but he just didn't dominate the ......
Seashell!
Jie teammates!
Is there a better teammate than Suke?
Without!
Absolutely no more......
Recently, Turkoglu often dreamed that when Li Wan first joined the team, he didn't like him, and he felt that his pattern at that time was really small!
In the future, I have to learn more from Brother Wan.
Li Wan also didn't know his careful thoughts.
Otherwise......
Li Wan will not tell Turkoglu what if he dominates the ball and instead causes the original championship-level lineup to not play its power?
Anyway, from his point of view, the Magic team is organized by Tekoglu, which is a "quasi-champion" team, plus him......
That's a Finals-caliber team!
Winning the championship is expected!
In the case of not worrying about the right to shoot, he actually doesn't care so much about the ball......
But as long as he is not such a "sharp knife platoon" position, then no matter how much he doesn't want to get into trouble, Tekoglu will definitely grab the ball.
Jesus couldn't even save it.
Now, the energy he saves on the playmaking end can be used on the defensive end.
He, along with Ragabel, Michael Petrus, and Howard, is now running in with the defensive intensity, and he believes that it will definitely make the entire league look sideways.
Wait!
This time, the Magic team is not just "star-studded".
