Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

Chapter 29: The opener is coming

On October 28, the NBA 07~08 season officially kicked off, and the Lakers' home opener is also today.

During the regular training in the morning, representatives of reporters from various media have been eagerly pouring into the Staples Center to find the purpose of their trip. —Most people went straight to Kobe.

Zhou Lingan, a female reporter from the domestic Sina.com, was also among them, but she was not looking for Kobe, but Li Wan, a Chinese player in the team.

This year can be regarded as the NBA's "draft year" and also the domestic "draft year". First, Yi Jianlian of the Guangdong team was selected with the sixth pick in the first round, and then Li Wan was selected with the 19th pick in the first round. God's "little magician" Sun Yue was also selected by the Mavericks in the second round, but he had to play in Aoshen for a year before entering the NBA.

Selected 3 domestic players in one year, which is unique in the past.

Li Wan had a very good performance in the summer league and preseason games, which caused heated discussions in China. Now the entire domestic news reports about basketball are divided between him, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. And his popularity is getting higher and higher, has surpassed Yi Jianlian, and because Yao Ming didn't play much in the preseason, his popularity also overshadowed Dayao.

Therefore, the opening game of the Lakers was broadcast by domestic TV stations and online media that can broadcast the game, including Sina NBA.

According to the guidance of the arena staff, Zhou Lingan successfully found Li Wan. Fortunately, he just ended the interview with others. Zhou Lingan explained his intention, and Li Wan readily agreed.

"How is it? Are you still used to living in Los Angeles? Oh, no, you've been living in the United States for several years, so you probably won't be used to it."

Taking advantage of the time the camera master was playing with the camera, Zhou Lingan and Li Wan chatted to get closer, so that the interview could be more natural. It's just that this small talk is more like Zhou Ling'an asking and answering herself.

"Sorry, it's my first time..."

Zhou Lingan, who felt that she had screwed up, scratched her head and laughed a little embarrassedly. Her crescent eyes looked very lively.

Zhou Ling'an is not such an amazing beauty, she feels more like the little girl next door to Li Wan. Of course, this is Li Wan's feeling, and everyone's aesthetics are different.

"then you…"

Zhou Ling'an, who was racking his brains, seemed to have thought of something again, and Li Wan, who was next to him, suddenly raised his hand.

"Snapped!"

A slap sounded from the back of her head, Zhou Ling'an turned her head, Li Wan opened her big hand, and was hooking a basketball and pulling it back, a big loop held the ball firmly, and a very handsome fingertip turned the ball. Judging from the sound just now, if it wasn't for Li Wan's blocking, the ball would probably knock her out.

If it wasn't Li Wan, but Kobe Bryant, Li Wan believed that Zhou Ling'an would also be stunned.

Li Wan looked in the direction the ball came from. Odom was embarrassingly touching the back of his head and smiling apologetically at him. Obviously, this guy was the initiator.

This is not the first time. In training games, Odom often passes the ball to Phil Jackson standing next to him.

"Hey, man, your pass sucks!" Li Wan returned the ball.

Odom caught the ball and said to Li Wan, "Tell that girl, sorry, and... I like her!"

"I'm fine, it's not your fault!"

The voice was so loud that Zhou Lingan also heard it, and turned her head to show a smile of refusal and welcome. Li Wan secretly said, "You can come to the United States for an interview at such a young age, you really have two strokes."

"I think we can lean against the wall!"

Li Wan pointed to the side of the training ground, where there was a wall blocking it.

"I think so!"

Zhou Lingan nodded in agreement, the back of her head was still chilling.

The uncle of the camera changed places with them, and followed him with the camera on his back. Anyway, it was just a matter of adjusting the focus, which was not troublesome.

With the end of the cameraman's debugging, the interview officially began. Zhou Ling'an was very professional and immediately entered the interview stage. After finishing the opening remarks, she turned her head to look at Li Wan, her red lips were bright: "Hello, Li Wan, can you talk to us on Sina? say hi to the audience?"

Zhou Ling'an's tone for the interview was a bit heavier than her usual tone, a little less like the little girl next door, and a little more professional.

Li Wan greeted her as she said, and Zhou Lingan continued to the next question: "Now everyone in the country knows that you have a nickname called a dirty talker. Do you think this will affect you?"

"If it doesn't affect my performance on the field, then it won't!" Li Wan thought about it and added, "Trash talk is part of the game."

Zhou Lingan nodded. She agreed with this. When she first stood on the sidelines and listened to the conversation between the NBA head coach and the players from both sides, she was taken aback by the violence of the conversation.

"Then what are your expectations for your career debut?"

"I just hope my performance can be better than I think!"

Li Wan was a little nervous in his heart. The regular season is different from the preseason and the summer league. What kind of performance he can play will only be known after playing.

However, he has already done what he needs to do. Looking back on the whole summer, he has worked hard enough, so now, there is nothing to worry about.

The interview ended soon. When Li Wan went back to training, Odom sneaked over, put his hand on his shoulder, and hooked him closer. The strong perfume smell on his body made Li Wan feel pungent. .

"Hey, bro, did that beauty leave her contact information? I feel like she likes me!"

"Should keep it, but I forgot to give it this time. Next time, ask for it yourself, man!"

After Li Wan finished the call, he went back to warm up. Odom was stunned for a while, before he figured out what it was all about. He turned his head and went to pester Li Wan again.

Bryant noticed his roguelike appearance, coughed lightly, and issued a "death stare", Odom smirked and turned around, picked up the ball at the speed of light, and threw himself into training.

As the opener draws closer, the guy's air pressure is noticeably lower.

A lot of Lakers fans came to Staples tonight, more than Li Wan in any of the past few games. Nearly 20,000 seats were filled, and it was dark!

The new season slogan shouted by the Lakers is really appealing.

Li Wan also received the biggest cheers since he entered the Lakers when he played. And in the stands, he also saw many female fans holding signs with their names. The crooked Chinese that was written looked like the oracle bone inscriptions just excavated by the archaeological team.

He also watched for a long time before he understood: this Nima can actually be "Li Wan"!

Kupchak also came to the scene. He hopes that the Lakers can win this game, so that Kobe can be more patient, and he will have more time to continue to "stand by."

NBA general managers must endure loneliness.

The Suns didn't change much this summer, they just signed Grant Hill, the former "All-Star vote king" from the free agency, to reinforce the flank.

In the new season, they are still centered on Steve Nash and Stoudemire, and play "run-and-gun tactics".

With resentment, Kobe played singles with the ball in the first round of the game. Lagabel, known as the "Kobe Terminator", was facing a big enemy at this moment.

He has a trump card against Kobe, but it can only be used once. He didn't want to use the trick so quickly. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Kobe's throat was aching and a little blocked. He skillfully accelerated to the left of Lagabel to break through. When he was about to approach Lagabel, he quickly turned around, held the ball to levitate, tested the resistance behind him, and felt that the opposite side was not moving forward. The meaning of oppression, Kobe turned around before closing the ball, and made a fallback jumper. Lagabel was not slow to follow, but he could only watch the ball fly from Kobe's hand, cross the arc, and fall into the basket.

2-0!

The Los Angeles natives who had not sat down at the beginning of the game watched the ball go into the basket and cheered.

Kobe Bryant scored the first goal, and he was out of control. He hit the attack one after another. He combined his back-to-back technique with his turn-and-break technique. Whether the Suns were Lagabel or Grant Hill, the effect was not very good. .

Only after the first quarter, the Lakers were still 24-27 behind by 3 points.

The Suns can't guard against Kobe, and the Lakers can't guard against the tandem of Steve Nash of the Suns.

The hero of the first quarter belongs to Stoudemire. With his explosive physical fitness, he received the ball from the basket many times, and completed dunks. In just one quarter, he scored 8 points.

The "Little Shark" Bynum, who had high expectations before the start of the season, was a little different from him and had almost no memory.

In addition, Grant Hill contributed 2 3-pointers.

Judging from the end of the first quarter, Hill's transformation after joining the Suns this season is obvious. The offensive end suddenly released cold arrows, and the main focus is on the defensive end, taking on the role of "flanking gate".

He's doing well so far.

Kobe Bryant made 3 of 6 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 9 points, but the team's backwardness kept him cold when he came off the court. He walked to the bench and covered his face with a white towel, exuding a low pressure of "no one ignores me".
