"Hey! Li Yan is here."
In the studio, Yu Jia said excitedly:
"Director Zhang, look at the fans at the scene shouting. Li Yan looks very popular."
"Indeed, Li Yan's transformation has been great. His ball control and passing are great." Director Zhang nodded solemnly and said:
"Li Yan must have suffered a lot. Destiny will not let down those who work hard. I hope our young players can follow Li Yan's example."
Li Yan replaced Steve Blake on the sidelines.
There are 8 minutes left in the game, and the Nuggets are 6 points behind 84 to 90.
There is still enough time, but Li Yan can no longer use skills casually, otherwise his physical strength will not last until the end of the game.
Li Yan advanced with the ball and signaled his teammates to stabilize the rhythm.
I don't know why, but Iverson felt a lot more at ease when he saw Li Yan playing.
Unconsciously, this young man has won Iverson's recognition.
Wade went to defend Iverson, and in front of Li Yan was "White Chocolate" Jason Williams.
Jason Williams is a thin white defender less than 190cm tall. His confrontation is not at the same level as Li Yan.
Even if Li Yan's current level of ball-handling attack is not top-notch, it is still enough to deal with such an opponent.
Li Yan started dribbling, directly confronting the Heat, and broke through the Heat's inside line.
After carrying Jason Williams, Li Yan completed a hook.
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and hit the net hollowly.
86 to 90!
"WOW!" exclaimed from the stands.
"Li can actually use a hook. Most outside players wouldn't use this trick."
In the TNT studio, Buckley also opened his mouth in surprise.
"This guy is really the second Magic Johnson, and his hook action is exactly the same."
In the Heat's round, Wade wanted to connect with O'Neal, but Iverson completed the steal.
After completing the steal, the "answer" was all over the place. After a change of direction knocked Jason Williams away, there was no one between him and the basket.
"Whoa!" Iverson scored two points with an easy layup.
88 to 90!
After Li Yan came on the court, the effect was immediate.
Iverson's steal has a "gamble" nature, and if it fails, it can easily cause a loss of position.
With Li Yan filling in, Iverson also dared to try.
The cheers at the Pepsi Center continued, and the atmosphere became lively again.
The Heat requested a timeout.
Pat Riley asked Wade to play to his abilities, and he told "The Flash" to settle down.
According to Pat Riley's observation, Li Yan's ball control and passing abilities are top-notch, and he has excellent tactical qualities.
Li Yan is tall and has long arms, and his static talents are explosive, but his dynamic talents, including speed burst, agility and strength, are not as good as Wade.
Pat Riley is very sure that Li Yan's ability to hold the ball and shoot is not strong. This is why he did not use a mid-range shot but a hook after taking away Jason Williams.
The most important point is that Pat Riley believes that Li Yan's physical strength is not good, and Wade can defeat Li Yan through head-on confrontation.
In general, Li Yan's technical characteristics and playing style are very similar to "Magic" Johnson, but his overall ability is a "weakened version" of "Magic".
After listening to Pat Riley's analysis, Wade was convinced. Through his confrontation with Li Yan, he also felt the same way.
Back to the game.
Wade used a lightning-quick change of direction to get past Li Yan's defense, and he reached the inside.
Li Yan's eyes followed Wade, but his movements couldn't keep up.
With his center of gravity lowered, Wade was like a supersonic fighter jet. Li Yan tried his best but was still left behind.
This is the level of Wade at his peak. When Kenyon Martin was covering the defense, he couldn't even stop Wade from putting the ball into the basket by pulling with his hands.
If this was not the Nuggets' home court, there would be a high probability of an additional penalty for this ball.
"Wow! Dwyane Wade is so fierce. Li Yan made the right decision, but he couldn't keep up with Wade's speed."
Yu Jia explained: "However, there are very few people in the entire league who can guard Wade."
Director Zhang agreed, and he continued: "Indeed, Wade almost single-handedly destroyed the entire Mavericks defense last season, and he truly deserves the FMVP.
In terms of overall strength, Wade is both offensive and defensive. The only player in the league who can overwhelm him at the guard position is Kobe Bryant. "
"It can't be suppressed, Wade is also very strong." Yu Jia expressed a different view: "Kobe has not broken through the first round of the playoffs after O'Neal left."
"Kobe is just a teammate. There is no doubt about his strength." As a die-hard Kobe fan, Director Zhang firmly stands on Kobe's side.
…………
After his teammates missed several openings, Li Yan had no choice but to activate the "Cake Master" skill several times. The Nuggets held on to the score, but Li Yan's physical load was somewhat excessive.
However, in order to win, Li Yan could only grit his teeth and persevere.
"This kid is dying." Wade also noticed the decline in Li Yan's condition.
Li Yan relies on strong willpower to play, and his physical strength has bottomed out.
Facing the "Flash"'s surprise attack, Li Yan was helpless. He felt that his legs were as heavy as lead.
Wade was able to get rid of Li Yan's defense more easily and even completed a pull-up in front of Li Yan.
Mader, Li Yan cursed in his heart. If he could control the release of his skills in the third quarter, there would definitely be no problem with his physical strength.
Whether he won the game or not was secondary. Li Yan felt sorry for his mission.
One attribute point is fine, but "Flash" Wade's skills are a good thing.
As a top shooting guard integrating offense and defense, any of Wade's "stunt skills" given to Li Yan will be qualitatively improved.
But with Li Yan's current physical condition, it is completely impossible to give Wade a big hit, even if it is a sneak attack.
While Li Yan was holding his knees and standing on the outside to "recover blood," Iverson was carrying a "pack of explosives" to attack the Heat's inside line.
"DUang!" Iverson was knocked to the ground by Kapono.
"Beep!" The referee whistle sounded.
Iverson used free throws to extend the life of the Nuggets.
Seeing Iverson working hard, something seemed to awaken in Li Yan's heart.
Yes, what he couldn't stand the most in his previous life was the national football boss who was just waiting to die and had no fighting spirit.
How can you give up on competitive sports so easily?
In the next round, Li Yan mobilized all his strength to hit a half goal.
Li Yan flew to save the ball and the Nuggets got the ball, but Li Yan fell heavily off the court.
"Are you okay?" A sweet girl's voice echoed in Li Yan's ears.
Then Li Yan felt a tender jade hand holding his hand. It was obvious that someone wanted to pull him up.
At this time, the system's prompt sounded in Li Yan's mind: "Stamina replenishment source detected, whether to activate the skill "Ball Control Master"."
Li Yan responded immediately without thinking: "Start!"
