Chapter 115: Huang Mamba and Kobe
Li Tuanjie squatted at the free throw line, held the basketball with both hands under his crotch, took a deep breath, and slowly threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket with both hands.
"DUANG......" EMBARRASSING SOUND OF IRON......
Li Tuanjie almost vomited blood, what is the situation, he is so unlucky? With a free throw shooting rate of up to 85 percent, you actually let yourself touch that 15 percent misses?! That's unlucky, isn't it?
Li Tuanjie looked embarrassed, he had already used the very indecent way of making free throws in the urinal, and he even missed the free throws, there is nothing more embarrassing in the world!
The fans who watched the game at the scene suddenly burst into laughter, originally they looked at Li Tuanjie and thought that Li Tuanjie had really mastered the essence of the urinal penalty shot, but they didn't think about it, and the first shot ended in iron!
As for Kenny Smith and Barkley in the TNT commentary room, they laughed together, and they didn't have to guess to know that Li Tuanjie's iron striking would definitely become a laughing stock for the two of them!
……
The little bulls looked at each other a little, they knew Li Tuanjie better, and knew that Li Tuanjie was definitely not the kind of personality who loved to be showy!
In the minds of the Mavericks and the management, Li Tuanjie has always had a sense of stability that does not match his age, which is also the biggest reason why everyone is optimistic about Li Tuanjie's future growth!
Originally, no one in the Mavericks would expect Li Tuanjie to do such an "outrageous" thing......
"Is it because I'm going to be traded, so I just start to give up on myself?!" The Mavericks, including head coach Johnson on the sidelines, couldn't help but have this idea in their minds.
A layer of fine sweat appeared on Li Tuanjie's forehead, mainly because he was in a hurry, and this time he was a little embarrassed......
……
After receiving the basketball from the referee again, Li Tuanjie looked at the basket intently.
"Surely it won't be so unlucky, it's impossible to hit that fifteen percent probability twice in a row!"
"Huh!" Sure enough, as Li Tuanjie thought, this time the urinal penalty was hit, which made Li Tuanjie breathe a sigh of relief!
For Li Tuanjie's second free throw, the fans at the scene didn't have any applause, mainly because they felt that the second free throw hit was probably Li Tuanjie's blind cat touching a dead mouse......
……
The Mavericks and the head coach Johnson on the sidelines were also relieved to see Li Tuanjie hit the urinal for the second time!
Most of the worries of the Mavericks are that they don't want to see Li Tuanjie go astray, judging from Li Tuanjie's current development, he has a great chance to grow into the core player of his team, if Li Tuanjie gives up on himself, then the situation is not easy to say.
And the bigger reason for head coach Johnson's concern is in the upcoming deal!
At present, the places where the teams value Li Tuanjie are that Li Tuanjie's peers are incomparable to the stability, coupled with very good immediate combat power, once Li Tuanjie's next performance does not meet the expectations of the management of these teams, then let alone whether they can change to a reliable inner line, whether those teams are willing to spend the price to introduce Li Tuanjie is still a matter of two words.
Now head coach Johnson is most worried that Li Tuanjie is really as the Mavericks think, because the Mavericks want to trade themselves, and become self-defeating, which will make the Mavericks fall into a very passive situation!
……
Although everyone is very worried about Li Tuanjie, it is not good to say much, after all, this is the free throw method chosen by Li Tuanjie, and it is normal to hit two free throws and one hit!
If you blame Li Tuanjie and cause Li Tuanjie to have any negative emotions, it will be more than worth the loss.
……
At present, the two most eye-catching players on the field are Li Tuanjie and Roy!
At the end of the first half, Huang Mamba had already scored an astonishing 20 points!
And Li Tuanjie's performance is not inferior at all, scoring 17 points!
Judging from the current performance of rookies in the preseason, the best rookie of the season, if nothing else, will be produced in Roy and Lee Tuanjie!
Today's game is a battle between rookie kings!
Although Li Tuanjie has all kinds of shortcomings in this game, but the three-point strength he showed is really surprising, no one thought that just by changing his shooting posture, Li Tuanjie's three-point score would become so deadly!
The shot is as fast as lightning, as long as a little use of the blocking, few players can keep up with Li Tuanjie's shooting rhythm, and the shooting rate is very amazing, the entire first half, Li Tuanjie appeared for 18 minutes, shot 7 three-pointers, hit four of them, and exceeded the 50% shooting rate!
Fans can't help but think of Nowitzki when he was young, and there is an unrealistic idea in his heart, is Nowitzki's three-point strength so strong when he was young? It doesn't seem to be!
Could it be that Lee Tuanjie's future achievements will surpass Nowitzki's? It's unbelievable!
And Huang Mamba's performance is really eye-catching, he is too much like Kobe, and even much better than Kobe's performance in the same period!
In today's league, when it comes to who is the first quarterback, I am afraid that more than ninety percent of fans will think of Kobe Bryant for the first time, Kobe Bryant averaged more than 35+ points per game last season, and has many magical performances that are unparalleled in the past!
For example, against the Raptors with 81 points in a single game, such as against the Mavericks with 60 points in the third quarter, although the Lakers' record led by Kobe Bryant last season was not ideal, but considering the strength of Kobe's teammates, it is extremely difficult for Kobe to lead the Lakers to achieve a shooting rate of more than 50%!
Last season's Lakers, in addition to Kobe, the strongest strength was probably Lamar Odom, who was used as a bargaining chip in O'Neal's trade......
Odom is a player, of course, very famous, but this reputation actually has nothing to do with his performance on the court!
Admittedly, Odom in his rookie season was magical, averaging 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game......
But then, it may be due to personality reasons, Odom's data has not increased in the slightest, and the peak of his entire career is also this data, which can be described as the peak of the rookie......
Of course, Odom's strength is not weak, as a second-in-command, his strength is quite qualified! For example, Josh Howard and Terry in the current Mavericks lineup, in terms of strength, are actually not much stronger than Odom.
The Lakers are miserable because of the lack of middle-level combat power, except for Kobe's high-end combat power and Odom's semi-high-end combat power, there is really no player who can handle it in the entire Lakers lineup.
