Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

Chapter 72: end of november

For Fisher, the good news is that the Lakers' next game will be away to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks' backcourt combination Jason Terry and Devin Harris are both good players. Whether it is Gibson of the Cavaliers or Tinsley of the Pacers, there is a certain gap between them. Li Wan The challenge in this game is much bigger than the previous two games.

As long as Li Wan's performance in this game is not good, then Fisher's starting position at No. 1 will be stable.

At least in the eyes of "Old Fish", this is the case!

After all, he and Phil Jackson have a relationship of seven or eight years, and he can't lose his starting position because of an inconsistent rookie.

so…

Devin Harris and Jason Terry, take all your form and blow this rookie up hard!

If it weren't for the away game, Fisher might have gone to church to pray. Perhaps because he didn't go to church to pray, Fisher's wish was not fulfilled.

In this game with the Mavericks, Li Wan had a strong sense of presence from the very beginning. First, he played a "2 plus 1", and then assisted his teammates to score consecutively.

Under his leadership, the Lakers played a 12-5 scoring wave.

At this time, Kobe didn't even exert his strength.

Phil Jackson watched the Lakers' well-organized offense on the court, and with joy, glanced at Fisher.

Seeing that he was watching the game well, "Old Fish" suddenly turned his head to look at him, and immediately understood that the old man didn't hold back his farts.

Sure enough, Phil Jackson approached with a good look on his face: "Derek, go back and let the team doctor check it out, maybe it's not clear enough, in case there is a hidden danger and it relapses, you are here with us. One of the most important members of the playoffs!"

"You don't want to... sit on the cold bench then?"

Seeing his earnest appearance, Fisher was in a trance and almost nodded, but fortunately he responded in time.

I believe you a ghost, you bad old man is very bad!

"Coach Phil, believe me, I'm really good!"

Fisher opened his small eyes and looked straight at Phil Jackson. He hoped that the coach who had trusted him so much would continue to trust him.

Phil Jackson finds it boring.

Fisher now makes him feel like a girlfriend who doesn't love anymore, but just can't bear to say goodbye. The problem is that this girlfriend still wants to go back to the past.

Can…

Li Wan is really delicious!

Do people who have fought with aunt still think that little girl is having fun?

It's just a pity that the Lakers ended up losing this good start tonight.

The turning point of the game occurred at 5 minutes and 15 seconds of the third quarter. Nowitzki shot like a **** and kept getting into the basket. Phil Jackson changed formations in a row and asked different inside players to defend him, but it didn't work. Great effect.

While the inside line was blown up, Jerry Stackhouse, a veteran of the Mavericks' bench, also stood up to continue the firepower. On the other hand, on the Lakers side, after Li Wan got the starting lineup, there was no play on the bench. the point.

These two factors allowed the Mavericks to complete a wonderful comeback at their home.

When Dirk Nowitzki hit a key goal at 10 minutes and 15 seconds in the fourth quarter, allowing himself to score 30 points in a single game and widening the difference to 10 points, the Dallas people at the scene couldn't help standing up for him. Cheers, cheers for him.

For the Mavericks, the past two years have been two years of prosperity, but also two years of embarrassment.

They had a good record in the regular season. In the 2006 finals, they were reversed by the Heat with a 2-0 lead and eliminated 4-2; they were the first in the Western Conference in 2007. The Warriors let the latter play a heartwarming round of "Black Eight Miracles" and were eliminated 2-4.

It was also the first-round upset of the playoffs this year, which made Nowitzki's "soft egg" hat more solid.

But at this moment, they cheered Nowitzki unforgettable, and they wanted to let the "German tank" know that even if the whole league is mocking you, we still believe in you, and when you are at your best, we will send The most exciting cheers on!

Nowitzki is undoubtedly lucky to have met Mark Cuban and met a Dallas man who is willing to believe him. In the end, he also performed a persistent "miracle" in the future!

Kobe Bryant made 9 of 23 shots in the game. He was not in very good shape today. I don't know if Jason Terry was wearing his shorts and sucked all his "spirit".

Although Terry's overall performance was mediocre in this game, when he was most needed to score, he made two consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the situation.

Li Wan scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. Compared with Devin Harris' 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the advantage is obvious.

Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson frowned on the sidelines, but he couldn't say anything. The Dallas media didn't blame Nowitzki very much, but all the anger was on Harris, who had him for two consecutive years. Named "The Most Disappointing Player in Dallas."

His performance in the playoffs in the past two seasons is really not easy to wash.

but…

The Mavericks need a 1 who can control the tempo of the game.

That's the biggest problem Johnson felt in this game.

The Mavericks were suppressed in the first half, and a large part of the reason was the confusion in the command of the back line.

Devin Harris and Terry basically play singles with the ball.

Against the background of them, the Chinese newcomer on the opposite side has a strong organizational ability that makes people drool!

Leaving from Dallas, the Lakers’ November games have all ended. In 15 games, they have played 11 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference, second only to the Hornets, which are the first in the Western Conference, one win away.

From last season's final seventh in the Western Conference to the current second in the Western Conference.

This result is beyond expectations.

After all, the Lakers management did not make a big move this summer and did not introduce reinforcements. Just look at Kobe's ugly face in training camp before the season. He is not optimistic about the new season.

Unexpectedly, the growth of Bynum, and the "good lottery" of Li Wan, of course, the most important thing is that the "good lottery" of Li Wan actually made such a big change in this team. .

It is no exaggeration to describe it as "earth-shattering".

When the Los Angeles media summarized in November, they described Li Wan as "the most surprising Lakers player this season"!

And when November 30 comes, not only the media in Los Angeles, but also the media in the entire league will be overwhelmed with a wave of compliments.

ESPN called Li Wan "the most surprising player in the first month of the season" and tied with Danny Granger for the top two on the list. Yes, ESPN's list is not just an evaluation of the Lakers, UU read www. Instead, uukanshu.com screened within the entire league, and Li Wan was still the top two on the list!

"Bleacher" said: "Kupchak's draw has given Celtics' Ainge an opponent in the award for the best general manager."

Boston made a big move this summer. General Manager Ainge made two big trades. They acquired Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen from the Timberwolves and Seattle respectively, forming the "Big Three Celtics". God of War.

"Bleacher" will discuss the Lakers' draft and Boston's movement together, which shows the surprise that Li Wan has brought to the entire league.

As for "Sports Illustrated", they have contacted Li Wan's agent Tai Lun and invited Li Wan to shoot the cover of the magazine, which will be used for the cover of the first issue of "Sports Picture" in December.

It's no wonder that in the summary of November, the media's eyes are all on Li Wan.

Before the start of the new season, who would have thought that this defensive rookie, who averaged only 6.6 points per game in the NCAA freshman year, could score double-digit points multiple times in a single quarter in his first month in the league. Len Iverson is a super-giant pair, averaging 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game, shooting 43.3% from the field, 39.8% from three-point range, and 85.6% from the free throw line. Only 1.4 turnovers per game!

This is what the data shows, but what the data can't show... His flamboyant personality, the attributes of the "nerve knife", these labels make his whole person more attractive!

When Kobe Bryant mentioned Li Wan, a rookie who often engages with his mentality, he had to admit that this kid has brought new vitality to the Lakers, and his existence is becoming more and more important to the Lakers!
