Chapter 367 Tuning Ben Simmons, Kwame Brown Has a Dream
The 76ers returned to the stage of the playoffs, and the attendance rate of the audience in the Wells Fargo Center Arena has gradually recovered, reaching the peak in recent years.
Each game can basically sell more than 80% of the tickets.
Fans are actually willing to grow with the team, but the prerequisite is...
You give the fans hope.
The current 76ers are doing this, so the Phillies are gradually returning.
The last time Fuguo Center Arena was so enthusiastic was in 01. At that time, the absolute core of the team was Allen Iverson... Originally, he was defeated by the Pistons, and then fell quickly. This time he Although he was not neglected by his teammates in the Pistons, he gradually lost his voice, but this is the process of history. If he did not leave at the most glorious time, even the "super giants", their fall would be Also always silent.
I don't know when, this league lost the voice of Allen Iverson.
And Philadelphia, after 12 years, finally saw two talented young people: Embiid and Ben Simmons!
It can be seen that Ben Simmons is more popular than Embiid.
No wonder, the average data of 15 plus 8 plus 8, no matter how you look at it, is rushing to "the next man who averages a triple-double per game". Compared with "20 plus 10" Embiid, this future is even brighter A lot.
Just like online dating, the excitement brought by the unknown is not comparable to someone like Embiid who has played for the third season and whose statistics stop at "20 plus 10". Otherwise, I am afraid that the core position of this team will be taken by Ben Simmons.
The "Philadelphia New Favorite" even came to say hello to Li Wan before the game started.
Li Wan already knew that this guy had praised him severely before the game, so he was looking forward to Ben Simmons' expression after the game.
The reporters next to them quickly snapped this photo of Li Wan and Ben Simmons in the same frame. They had already thought of countless titles in their minds, waiting for the end of the game to further intensify the relationship between Li Wan and Kobe. contradiction".
The big screen at the scene also showed the starting lineups of both sides at this time:
"Columbus Explorers: Li Wan at No. [-], Wiggins at No. [-], Anthony at No. [-], Sabonis Jr. at No. [-], Adams at No. [-];
Philadelphia 76ers: Ben Simmons at No. [-], JJ Redick at No. [-], Covington at No. [-], Dario Saric at No. [-], Joel Embiid at No. [-];
Speaking of which, the shortest starting player for the Columbus Explorers this season is Wiggins, but he is 2 meters tall!
In other words, the entire Columbus starting lineup is above 2 meters, so it is called the "Five of Columbus Deaths" by the media!
而在高度这方面，费城76人首发阵容真的丝毫不差，除了雷迪克的身高只有1米93以外，其他人的身高均在2米以上，而且要比哥伦布探索者队更夸张，本-西蒙斯身高2米08、考文顿身高2米06、萨里奇身高2米08、恩比德身高2米13.
It can be said that, except for the second position, the Columbus Explorers' starting lineup has no height advantage.
At the same time, it doesn't matter if you are tall. Covington and Saric are strikers who conform to the trend of the "small ball era". Both of them have an average three-point shooting rate of close to 40% per game.
In addition, Embiid's three-point shooting rate is also averaging about 30% per game, which is a bit but not much, but the opponent can't keep playing.
So the offensive system of the Philadelphia 76ers is very simple, that is, Ben Simmons uses a breakthrough to double-team the opponent, and then distributes the ball to his teammates to shoot a three-pointer. If the opponent does not double-team, he will use his tall height to make a breakthrough. After completing the scoring at the basket, since the teammates are all outside the three-point line, there is a lot of space, and the change of direction enhances his breakthrough ability...
When the opponent can't make a shot, they can rush for rebounds together.
It's such a simple and rough style of play that allows Ben Simmons to get an all-around data of 15 plus 8 plus 8 per game...
In fact, it can also be seen from here that Ben Simmons really met a good teammate.
Why doesn't he need projection ability?
Because his teammates shared the burden for him, he only needs to repeatedly break through and score the ball, and he can easily make his statistics gorgeous and win the game at the same time.
Therefore, for some rookies, the team's lineup is too good, which is really not a good thing. This will easily give him the illusion that "I am already invincible".
This may also be why, when LeBron entered the Cavaliers, he sent Ricky Davis away.
In order not to be proud and complacent, he really made me cry to death!
The game started quickly, and after Embiid grabbed the initiative for the team, he immediately went to the basket to ask for a position.
To say that when he was young, Embiid's playing style was similar to his appearance. Although his skills were good, his playing style was very rough. He always went to the inside to play hard. It may be due to too many injuries. This guy is getting farther and farther away from the basket. Basket, only to simply regard himself as an outside player.
This is not the only case like this.
When Griffin first debuted, he was as violent as he wanted. After a few major injuries, he also started to stay away from the basket...
It can only be said that injuries do make people involuntarily change their style of play.
but……
You can change your style of play, but you can't be soft!
Ben Simmons faced Li Wan in the previous scene, and was about to break through, but found out that this guy...
so far away from me!
The "telescope defense" reappeared on the court, and Rajon Rondo on the bench twitched slightly with his "poker face". He was disgusted by this trick back then.
The disgusted look won't go away, it's just now transferred from his face to Ben Simmons'.
Maybe even uglier...
you……
What means?
Ben Simmons has doubts on his face!
Aren't we in the same group! ?
I just praised you before the game!
Ben Simmons, with mixed feelings, really wanted to make a direct shot and let Li Wan pay the price for defending him like this, but... the ball is in his hand at the moment, it weighs a thousand catties, and he can't lift it up.
He finally decided to grit his teeth and rush towards the basket. However, he was 2 meters tall and rushed like a truck. However, with a buffer distance, Li Wan accurately predicted his position and stabilized his position. Stand still, waiting for him to rush over.
This is……
Want to call me an offensive foul?
I am so special!
Ten thousand mud horses galloped past Ben Simmons' heart, but he just slammed on the brakes and quickly transferred the ball from his hand to Redick's hand who came to the side to respond.
Redick didn't get rid of Wiggins, so he didn't have a chance to shoot at all. Being surrounded by Wiggins, the ball almost dropped.
The news came out quickly, and in the end Covington made a three-pointer at the buzzer, without even touching the basket, and the ball fell out of the baseline.
The auditorium, which was bursting with cheers, was completely silent at the moment.
Tonight's conversation with Columbus, according to many media, is a hard battle to test the Philadelphia 76ers, a new army. They are also looking forward to this collision, but the result...
Was it so ugly in the first round?
Ben Simmons looked at Li Wan who was holding the ball in front of him, his expression was no longer as friendly as before.Instead, it was full of resentment.
Li Wan was not surprised by his reaction.
This is a baby spoiled by the media because of his talent.
How outrageous was he later?
Let's put it this way, even Rivers, the head coach who specializes in "boiling chicken soup", failed to make him focus on the game.Instead, he didn't play a game and asked the team to pay his salary.
Such a person, do you expect him to have a good face for Kobe?
You expect him to respect Li Wannang?
This is impossible!
but……
No one cares if a person who is beaten hates himself, because for Li Wan, this is just to let Ben Simmons know how far he is from the best guy in the league.
As for whether this can "wake up" Ben Simmons...
Li Wan only had one answer:
Shut up my hammer thing!
When Li Wan held the ball and was about to force a breakthrough, Adams quickly stepped forward and set him a pick-and-roll.
Ben Simmons gets a solid block, but Embiid switches well in front of Lee Wan, using his great wingspan for the delay.
But Li Wan had already considered that such a thing would happen, so after bypassing Adams, he chose to step back and take a direct shot outside the three-point line.
This step back was something Embiid didn't expect. Even if he tried to straighten his arms, the distance between him and Li Wan could pass through a train.
"Shh!"
Easy three-pointer.
3-0!
It was the Philadelphia 76ers' turn to attack again, and Ben Simmons wanted to respond, but seeing Li Wan take out the "telescopic" defensive method again, his face was full of tangles, hesitating about the next move.
Even the audience on the sidelines couldn't help shouting: "Hey, man, let this goddamn guy see your shot!"
Ben Simmons glanced at the basket a few times, seeing that Li Wan still didn't make up, the final choice was...
Pass to Redick next to him.
He still didn't dare to vote!
The Phillies at the scene almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
They knew that Ben Simmons had a problem with his shooting ability, but they didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
It's so far away, I still don't dare to shoot!
There was a slight booing sound, which disappeared in a flash, but it was still heard by Ben Simmons. He gave Li Wan a vicious look. In his opinion, if it wasn't for Li Wan, he would not have been booed at all.
Redick gives the ball to Embiid.
"The Great" set of gorgeous footsteps, turned from the side of Adams into the inside, and successfully completed the goal for the 76ers.
2-3!
There was a lot of cheers at the scene.
Judging from these two rounds, it seems that the "Great Emperor" is more able to support the future of the 76ers.
Enraged, Simmons came up to confront Li Wan with his body.
This is another strength of Simmons!
His defensive ability is very good, and with his tall stature, he can defend with ease even in misplaced defenses.
Right now, he also wants to give Li Wan a little color by defending.
Li Wan turned around halfway, leaning against him with his shoulders sideways, waiting for his teammates to open up the space, then he immediately turned around and accelerated, trying to force a breakthrough. Ben Simmons showed his excellent physical talent, a beautiful sliding step Moving sideways, it was well intercepted in front of Li Wan...
Well, this is what he imagined!
Because after he slid sideways, he realized that Li Wan's forward turn and breakthrough was just a feint.
A step back opened up a greater distance, and Li Wan raised his hand to make a mid-range shot, a steady hit!
5-0!
Barkley looked at Simmons who was thrown back, and shouted excitedly: "Wow, this is the gap between the league's new stars and the league's No. 1!"
As a rookie, Ben Simmons' statistics in the first season of his professional career are certainly very gorgeous, but look at how embarrassed he is in front of Li Wan now. The gap between the two sides is really not a star, but obvious...
And this, in the following time, Simmons also noticed that as the first quarter passed, Li Wan put more and more pressure on him, and when he faced Li Wan, he was still powerless as always.
At 4 minutes and 35 seconds into the first quarter, Li Wan finally couldn't help letting Simmons, who was so far away, try a jumper. This stiff jumper posture made people feel like he was throwing a brick. Bigger than others.
He also discovered one more thing...
Li Wan, this damn guy...
Is it intentional to only use projection in offense?
Kenny Smith also discovered this: "Li Wan basically didn't get past the basket in this game. He was able to get past the basket several times, but he still chose to move sideways and shoot a jump shot. Is this going to prove to Ben Simmons the importance of shooting?"
Finally, Ben Simmons, who couldn't stand it anymore, chose to play the pick-and-roll outside with the ball, but when he faced Wiggins at the second position, Barkley couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
no……
This is too shocking, isn't it?
Barkley really didn't expect that it would be enough for Li Wan to defend Ben Simmons with a "telescopic style", and even Wiggins chose to take two big steps back, just looking at him like this, with that simple and honest face , as if saying: "Vote, I'll let you vote!"
special!
Ben Simmons really wanted to hit the ball hard.
We are all "champions", is it necessary to catch others' sore spots and poke their wounds?
The shot against Li Wan just now really took all his courage. Even if Liang Jingru came and sang "Courage" to him ten times, he would not dare to make a shot.
That poor posture embarrassed even himself.
Hey!
I still can't believe it!
Ben Simmons continues to run the pick-and-roll with his teammate, this time the guy in front of him...
It's Carmelo Anthony!
This time it was not only Barkley who laughed, but even Kenny Smith and Shaq O'Neal laughed.
Because Anthony stood directly in front of the reasonable collision zone, looked at him with a "spirited" face, and made a urging gesture towards him: "Hurry up and shoot, I still have to grab rebounds!"
Three people in a row stayed away from him, giving him room to attack.
Ben Simmons wanted to cry.
These defending champions are so rude!
After hesitating for a long time, he still chose to pass the ball. This scene completely disgusted the Philadelphians off the field.
It's all like this and you still don't take action to prove yourself and give a response?
no……
In this case, Kobe was right, right?
You should practice your projection well, why just...
They immediately began to feel that Ben Simmons was a little "down".
I really liked this newcomer!
In this way, Ben Simmons finished the game almost in humiliation.
129 to 101, the Philadelphia 76ers ended tonight's home game with a 28-point defeat.
The fans in the auditorium all left when the game reached the third quarter.
Some of the fans who came for the name of Philadelphia's "Twin Stars" left the scene with a "what the hell" expression on their faces.
The guy who yelled "believe in the process" is not bad, this guy who yelled at Kobe "I have my own way of ruling the game" really didn't see it.
The moment the game whistle sounded, he just felt that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. He greeted Li Wan cheerfully before the game, and left the scene through the home team player channel as soon as the game ended, and refused. After all the interviews, if there is no accident, a ticket will be indispensable tomorrow.
What he did proves the saying:
Not a big deal, but a big temper!
If this talent is given to Chris Paul, this league will definitely produce another "super giant".
As for what kind of success can be achieved...
I do not know!
Chris Paul's character is actually a "double-edged sword"!
Carmelo Anthony looked at him so angry that he almost wanted to laugh, so he still contradicted Kobe?
After the game, when a reporter asked, "Did it be discussed this time, let's defend Ben Simmons like this together", he did not give a positive answer, but said: "When you expose your shortcomings, If you haven’t planned to correct it yet, don’t blame others for targeting, this alliance is just like that!”
Li Wan heard the same question, but he didn't answer directly. He just finished what he didn't finish in the last interview: "It is a good thing to have character, but the premise of having character is that you can settle anyone's doubts about you. After all, the league speaks by the performance of the game!"
It was also at this time that the media finally understood what Li Wan really wanted to say. ——"If you have the ability, just like me back then, you will answer all the doubts with your performance!"
When these words reached Ben Simmons' ears the next day, he almost choked back again: "Even he couldn't score 15 plus 8 plus 8 in his rookie season, did he?"
But because his performance in this game last night was really bad, he only hit 12 goals in 3 shots, shot 25% from the field, and made 4 turnovers, and only got 3 rebounds and 3 assists.Where can I say anything harsh.
The main thing is...
The Philadelphia 76ers have only played 1 game against the Columbus Explorers this season, and there are 2 more games to play.
This guy just choked Kobe on the field because he choked him back. If he choked him directly, he might torture himself in the next game when they met on the field.
Ben Simmons has to admit, he was counseled!
Reports about this game also became the headlines of many media on the second day:
"34 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, only 4 breakthroughs in the game, Li Wan used practical actions to tell Ben Simmons how important shooting is! "
《34分11篮板7助攻碾压7分3篮板3助攻4失误，李万为科比出气！》
"Great victory by 28 points, the "No. 16 Scholar" was humiliated in [-], Li Wan: After all, this league speaks by the performance of the game! "
……
The happiest among them is undoubtedly the Los Angeles media.
Of course they don't want to see Li Wan and Kobe break up.
And from the game between Columbus and the Philadelphia 76ers, it can be seen that Li Wan also let out a bad breath on Kobe's behalf.
Kobe happened to have an event that afternoon, and when he appeared in front of the camera, he talked about this matter: "yep, I watched the live broadcast, well, I think this game proves what I said, if Ben Simmons With a better shot, he wouldn't have had that happen to him!"
You can tell he's in a good mood...
What the reporters didn't notice was that when they were talking about this matter, Vanessa next to Kobe rolled her eyes slightly.
Because last night, Kobe did watch the live broadcast.
And I watched it with Snake and Gigi.
When he saw Li Wan humiliating Ben Simmons with a "telescopic" defense, Little Snake said: "Dad, the godfather must be afraid that I will be sad when I know this!"
He knew that some media said that Kobe had broken up with Li Wan.
Seeing Li Wan doing this on the court at this moment, he felt that the godfather was taking care of his emotions.
Unexpectedly, Kobe snorted coldly: "Little guy, you think too much of yourself, he just thinks it's more fun..."
Little Snake thought about Kobe's words seriously, and finally insisted on his own ideas.
Kobe said again: "Even if it's not for fun, it's not because of you, you've only met him a few times!"
"Dad, are you trying to say that Uncle Li Wan did this to vent your anger?" Gigi spoke at this moment.
Kobe laughed and showed an absurd expression, which was exaggerated: "I didn't think so, how could I think so?"
Little Snake was about to take the opportunity to say that it was because of him, but Kobe caught his eager expression, and immediately said, "It's not because of you, Snake!"
In the end, the bickering ended with little Snake crying.
Thinking of Kobe dying Tsundere last night and making his son cry, Vanessa was really angry and funny.
"So, are you going to invite him as your guest of honor at your retirement ceremony?"
A reporter mentioned Kobe's retirement ceremony.
After communicating with the Lakers management, the time for Kobe to retire his jersey has also been set, and it will be on December 12, the day before "Christmas Eve".
That day was also the home game between the Lakers and the Columbus Explorers this season.
Kobe shook his head: "No, I didn't intend to invite Li Wan..."
"I have a good relationship with him. He is my son's godfather, but we haven't played together for too long. In my basketball career, I think, I have more important things to thank!"
A simple sentence is:
He is not important to me at all!
"So, to retire your jersey against the Columbus Trailblazers, is it the management's idea, or is it your opinion?"
Just this sentence made Vanessa laugh directly. She knew the inside story and retired her jersey in the game against the Columbus Explorers. This was Kobe's idea.
He did not choose to retire his jersey in the game against the Spurs, but chose to retire his jersey in the game against Columbus, which is tantamount to saying...
Between Pau Gasol and Li Wan, he chose Li Wan!
Kobe was "silenced" and could only repeat: "He is my son's godfather."
In the end, he said directly: "Stop this interview!"
Even the two reporters couldn't help laughing this time.
On December 12, the Columbus Explorers challenged the Jazz away.
Li Wan ran into Lillard.
Last season, Lillard's scoring average reached a career high of more than 27 points per game, officially becoming one of the best scorers in the league. This season, his scoring average remained at around 27 points per game, but his The efficiency is not good, the average field goal percentage is only about 43%.
He is a bit like Allen Iverson, an offensive player who trades shots for statistics.
But players like them often cannot use their scoring percentage to evaluate their performance in a certain game.Because a lot of games are won by their continuous shots.
You can't blame his style of play just because he lost a game and his efficiency is sluggish.
It was like this with Allen Iverson back then, and it's like this with Lillard now.
After averaging 27 points per game for two consecutive years, Lillard has ushered in the peak of his career.
Under the leadership of him and Gordon Hayward, the Jazz reached the top six in the Western Conference this season.
This is the best ranking the Jazz have achieved since they had him.
But there is no way, just entered the league and encountered this "super giant era"!
It is difficult for the general "Big Three" to achieve good results in such a league, let alone a team like the Jazz that no "super giant" is willing to join...
In this match, he can be regarded as showing his style of play in front of Li Wan.
The guy who regarded Li Wan as an idol back then scored a career high of 55 points tonight, leading the team to defeat the Columbus Explorers by 6 points!
After this game, the media blew up Lillard.
In fact, Lillard's ability to enter the "Big 75" was largely due to his style of play.
A player with amazing instant explosive power like this really attracts fans.
It's just that the ability to lead the team is really lacking.
Originally, he was the highest stop in the Western Conference finals. Now he has only entered the playoffs once, and then he has been in the "demons and ghosts" for so many years in the West, and he has just returned to the playoffs this year.
Columbus had its second loss in December, and the time came on December 12, four days before Kobe retired his jersey.
The eyes of the entire media are also focused on Los Angeles at this time.
Kobe's retired jersey is undoubtedly a big event for this league!
But until December 12rd, the media still didn't know who Kobe invited to speak at his retirement ceremony.
Li Wan has responded to this question several times, but he has not received Kobe's invitation.
Originally, he didn't want to know who Kobe invited, but after these media reporters asked questions, he was really curious.
On December 12, after Li Wan arrived in Los Angeles, Kobe took the initiative to drive and invite Li Wan to have a meal at home. Little Snake asked, "Godfather, did you teach the champion in Philadelphia for me?"
Li Wan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
He didn't know why Snake said this suddenly.
Kobe coughed in embarrassment, and asked Snake, "Have you finished your crotch dribble today? Hurry up if you haven't finished!"
In a word, little Snake left with an aggrieved expression.
Li Wan asked, "Man, who did you invite tomorrow?"
Kobe's expression was weird for a moment, and then he showed a thoughtful expression: "Man, you are not... angry?"
After finishing speaking, Kobe had a "great victory" expression on his face.
Li Wan: "..."
He really didn't expect Kobe's current brain circuit to be like this.
In the end, Kobe did not tell Li Wan who he invited.
But Li Wan didn't care, and he didn't expect Kobe to tell him.
On December 12, the much-anticipated Kobe Bryant retirement ceremony officially arrived.
The auditorium that night can be said to be star-studded.
Iverson, Pierce, Fisher, Butler, Scott and other Kobe's teammates and friends all came to the scene.
What's interesting is that Phil Jackson, who has left the Lakers, was not there. He just posted a post, congratulated Kobe, and called him "the great player of the Lakers."
As for the reason, many media have speculated that the conflict between him and Kobe was too deep.
Of course, these are all speculations for the sake of gimmicks.
Many media in Los Angeles gave the real answer: Phil Jackson left the Lakers in a disgraceful way. He left voluntarily after failing to enter the management team. In any of these aspects, it is impossible for him to appear on the Lakers' home court.
It is worth mentioning that Bill Russell and "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were also present.
To say that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as the star of the Lakers, has a reason to attend such an occasion.
Didn't you see "Lord Baylor" also came?
But Bill Russell has rarely been on the road because of his advanced age these years. Except for the awards ceremony of the finals, it can be said that it is very important to see this "Historical Lord of the Rings" in other places. Unbelievable thing.
But he showed up at Kobe's jersey retirement ceremony.
It can be seen what kind of recognition Kobe has received...
When Kwame Brown saw Bill Russell, he stood next to Li Wan and kept sighing. He regretted it: "If I had known that Bill would be here tonight, I would have brought all the rings from the finals!"
The photo of the active "Lord of the Rings" and the "Historical Lord of the Rings" is something you can brag to your son and grandson!
Li Wan: "..."
This b is really getting worse and worse now.
But although he didn't bring the ring to Los Angeles, Kwame Brown couldn't hold back in the end and ran to take a photo with Bill Russell.
Not to mention, the media really gave face, and they really "clicked" around them and took pictures non-stop.
Ok……
Even Li Wan has to admit that this photo is indeed very popular!
You know, if Kwame Brown wins another championship trophy, he can become "the player with the third most championship rings in NBA history", second only to Bill Russell and Sam Jones.
At the same time, he is the only player who is not from the Celtics!
But Kwame Brown is obviously more than this "small goal". After taking a photo with Bill Russell, he returned to Li Wan's side, with a bit of enthusiasm in his eyes, which made Li Wan subconsciously stay away from him.
He said: "Li Wan, I have a dream..."
