Chapter 365 In the name of Li Wan, save New York!
The direct consequence of these two transactions is that the pattern of the East has completely changed.
The Eastern Conference rankings that ended in November can be seen:
The first is the Columbus Explorers, 14 wins and 2 losses;
The second is the Toronto Raptors, 12 wins and 3 losses;
Before the original transaction, they had 3 games without playing, and they had already lost 3 games, which was the same record as the Bulls, but after Paul George joined, they had a wave of 3 consecutive victories.
Paul George's improvement on the Raptors' wing defense has been remarkable.
It was also this wave of 3 consecutive victories that opened up a gap of 1 win between them and the third Chicago Bulls.
In the absence of Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls finished playing in November and ranked third in the Eastern Conference. For this result, the Chicago media and fans are quite satisfied.
The advantage of a "super team" is "many strengths", and the disadvantage is "only these few strengths". Any injury to a "super giant" will be fatal to the decline in the strength of the entire team.
For example, the Lakers later were directly swept away by the Suns because of thick eyebrow injuries.
So they are ranked third in the Eastern Conference, and the two teams in front of them are "behemoths". They can accept such a result.
The fourth is the Milwaukee Bucks.
Just as the experts predicted before the start of the season, the Bucks this season have reached the upper reaches of the Eastern Conference in one fell swoop.
The fifth is the Wizards.
After the trade, they also had a winning streak. The arrival of Howard brought this team an inside defense, as well as the ability to attack twice, plus the "double guns" outside...
John Wall's average data this season is 19.6 points and 9.4 assists. It doesn't look very good, and it is at the level of an ordinary All-Star. However, in the same season as before, the Wizards reached the playoffs, and John- In 6 playoff games, Wall averaged 26 points, 11 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.
Few people even remember that during that time he was the No. [-] point guard in the Eastern Conference, the top three, and even the top two in the league's best organization position!
And Bradley Beal's annual salary this season has officially entered the 2 million mark, and his scoring average has also reached the Wizards' first average of 22.3 points per game. It is worth mentioning that so far this season His field goal percentage is 48% so far!
Extremely efficient scoring efficiency...
This classic combination of "two outside and one inside" reminds Washington fans of the "Three Musketeers" period, although Howard and Jamison have different styles.
but……
This team is indeed the same as it was back then, and it has enough competitiveness in the East again.
This is the top five in the Eastern Conference after the first month of the new season, compared to the top five in the Eastern Conference after the regular season last season...Columbus Explorers, Bulls, Celtics, Nets, Wizards...
Except that Columbus is still the first, and the Wizards are still the fifth. The competitive team in the East has undergone a big change!
Compared with the "changing rivers and lakes" in the east, the pattern in the west is a bit stable:
The first is still the Warriors. They lost only 11 game in 16 games in November;
The Hornets are still in second place, having lost 11 of their 16 games in November;
The third is still the Trail Blazers, they lost 11 games in November...
1, 2, 3...
The number of losses corresponds exactly to their Western Conference standings.
With the end of November, the East and West "Player of the Month Awards" also have their final results.
The eastern side belongs to the "garbage brothers".
Ok……
As the number of MVPs in the regular season tied with Michael Jordan last season, and the number of championships surpassed Michael Jordan, Li Wan was "disliked" by the league again.It is said that this is David Stern's last season in the position of president, and he will resign as the president of the league in January next year.
But this little Jewish old man does things properly. Even if he is about to retire, he is still promoting newcomers. He knows that if this league wants to survive, it needs generations of stars to stand up.
For these players with strong performances, especially those who do not have much attention, they must be given enough exposure when they perform well and achieve new results.
This is also one of the techniques for promoting newcomers.
所以即便李万在11月份拿到了场均33分12.5篮板6.5助攻3抢断2.5盖帽，东部的“月最佳”还是给到了猛龙队的德罗赞以及洛瑞。
德罗赞在11月份场均24分5.2助攻1.1抢断；洛瑞场均20分6.2助攻1.1抢断……两个人加起来，让猛龙队高居东部第二，超出了很多媒体还有专家的预想……
This is the first time in the history of the Raptors that a "double" has won this award.
It's a pity that "Xiao Hua" who took over later didn't learn it.
Let’s talk about the regular season MVP. He gave Jokic the regular season MVP when he didn’t have to give him the regular season MVP; , chose another "cry bag" that was suddenly opened in a certain game, and the result... Jokic ushered in a season of super gods, and Embiid was pulled into his crotch again. !
Why don't you jump ship now!
This alliance can be saved again.
The "Player of the Month Award" in the West was given to LeBron James.
整个11月份，他场均可以拿到28.5分8.5篮板7.5助攻1.5抢断1盖帽。用他在11月份最后一场比赛打完后的话来说就是:
I have completely recovered my feeling!
This season, with LeBron and the Warriors playing stronger dominance. ——So far, the Warriors have won at least 15 points in every game except for the one they lost.
This dominance is just four words:
Scary!
Because of this, the media began to brag about LeBron James again.
After winning the "Player of the Month", LeBron James emphasized again: "We have experienced some things, but now, we have solved everything very well. I feel that we are the most correct combination now. We're going to have an unimaginable season!"
What this means is: if you lost in the past, it was because the combination was wrong, the atmosphere was wrong, anyway, it was all wrong, everyone wrote it off, and the score was still 0 to 0. From now on, it is the real PK, whoever wins, who is the best Awesome!
Typical "one win" stands for all...
Some media asked about this year's "Christmas War".
This year is still the Warriors VS Columbus Explorers.
But last time it was the home of the Warriors, and now it is the home of the Columbus Explorers.
With Columbus winning the championship, and the changes that Li Wan brought to the city after he arrived in Columbus, Columbus is now called "bringing the world into focus" and has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
In terms of exposure, it is no less than places like San Francisco.
From the fact that the Dahanghai Arena has undertaken six or seven world-class music concerts this summer, as well as many movies, and it has also begun to come to Columbus for filming, it can be seen that this place has become another "entertainment capital".
Putting the home of the "Christmas War" here has no shortage of influence!
LeBron James talked about this "Christmas War" and avoided the topic related to Li Wan. Instead, he mentioned Carmelo Anthony again. It ended in November. Carmelo Anthony came to Columbus 11 years ago. In each game, he averaged 16 points, 23.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 3 steals per game.
The data can show that he integrated into Columbus very quickly, and there is no "acclimatization". What the data can't show is the change in his attitude.
Whether it is the willingness to share the ball on the offensive end and not obsessed with singles; or the active top man on the defensive end, they all embody the same four words:
It's ripe!
The evaluation given by "ESPN" is: "Carmelo Anthony is expected to save his career in the middle and late stages of his career!"
A complete reversal is impossible, he has already missed this stage.
After all, it is 33 years old!
But from now on, if he corrects his attitude and hugs Li Wan's thigh tightly, he can still make up for some regrets in his career.
Just like his reputation...
LeBron James said: "I am looking forward to meeting him on the stage of the Christmas game. We are brothers. Before we entered the league, we had a duel that attracted attention, but this is the first time in the NBA in the Christmas game. I thought it would not take so long to meet on stage, but luckily what should come has come!"
These words aroused the feelings of many fans.
The "Peerless Twins" back then was indeed the focus of many people's attention.
Everyone thought at the time that it was with O'Neal and Tim Duncan.After Kobe, this era will be the era of "Peerless Twins". In the 2.0 version of "Black and White Two Heroes", I didn't expect such a monster to appear in the 07 session, directly ruling the 10s...
Although there are still 18 and 19 championships pending, but...
Li Wancai is 29 years old. At this age, no one would think that he cannot rule for another two and a half years, right?
Anthony felt a little uncomfortable hearing these words from LeBron James.
Because this season, LeBron mentioned himself more times than in previous years.
However, he didn't think too much about this close friend who had known him for more than ten years, and the "savior" who once saved his life in the sea, and responded, "I also look forward to meeting him in the Christmas war." , I believe, this is enough to attract people's attention!"
03 "Peerless Twins" met in the "Christmas War"...
This name alone can sell tickets!
On December 12, the Columbus Explorers ushered in their first game in December.
This game still has some meaning for Carmelo Anthony.
Because of this game he will return to Denver to challenge the Denver Nuggets.
This is where his career started. He played here for 7 years and successfully led the team to the Western Conference Finals, which is the best result in the history of the Nuggets.
This result is actually enough for the Nuggets to retire his jersey.
In the team history of the Nuggets, a total of 5 jerseys have been retired so far, and some of them have played longer than him. However, Anthony has been in the Denver Nuggets for 7 years, and all of them have reached the playoffs, and one of them has reached the Western Conference. In the finals, these results are evidence that even if Anthony has only played in this city for 7 years, there is no "one person, one city", and there is a high probability that his jersey will be retired.
It's just that after Jokic's arrival, especially after Jokic's performance, it directly became a small probability... because Jokic was wearing the No. 15 jersey.
If Jokic performs better than Anthony and leads the team to the Western Conference Finals, how will the Nuggets' management choose?
You know, when Anthony left the Nuggets, it was not peaceful...
The Nuggets may not retire his No. 15 jersey, so where should his jersey be retired... This question Anthony actually thought about when he was in the Clippers.
At that time, his thought was that as long as he could achieve results in the Clippers, then he would definitely become a star of the Clippers. Anyway, Los Angeles, a big city, retired his jersey here. It seems that it is better than in Denver. ?
Standing at the home court of the Nuggets at this moment, Anthony thought of his thoughts at the time, and suddenly thought of the grudges he had for other Western teams in those years. He thought that if they hadn't blocked him, he would have gone to the finals to beat Li Wan. It was tidied up.
Thinking of this naive idea, Carmelo Anthony couldn't help but smile...
In fact, he is not concerned about where his jersey will be retired now, and the reason is very simple... The attitude of the Columbus management towards Chris Bosh proves that as long as he can succeed here, then he is very likely to be here Retire your jersey...
Having a place to retire his jersey is enough for Anthony!
So when he returned to Denver at this moment, he felt more calm in his heart.
The Denver Nuggets are currently ranked 9th in the West, just one step away from the playoffs in the West.
约基奇在这个赛季场均可以拿到18.6分10.1篮板7.2助攻1.2抢断，投篮命中率49.8%，三分球命中率39.8%……除了投篮命中率略有下滑，从52.4%变成了49.8%，其他数据均有明显的涨幅。
The same is true, more and more experts are beginning to pay attention to this "pork belly essence".
However, even though his statistics are already very versatile, Li Wan is very clear that this lump of "pork belly" has not really entered his peak period.
Speaking of which, a big reason why Jokic was so awesome later was that he experienced this transformation from a "data brush" to a real "regular season MVP".
Before him, all the dominant super giants had such a process...
Needless to say, Michael Jordan, he is the best. After he "upgraded to fight monsters", he also trained Scottie Pippen, the greatest "second master" in NBA history;
Before O'Neill won the "three consecutive championships", he also had all kinds of sweeps to eat;
After Kobe parted ways in the "OK combination", the same person enriched the arsenal for two seasons, and only then did he have the influence on the court later;
Including Stephen Curry, before there was no "five minors", he was also constantly enriching his arsenal, from only shooting, to practicing dribbling and breakthrough, and then to the top three-pointer, every step The "transformation" is in line with the growth trajectory of the past group of "super giants".
And LeBron James, Kevin Durant...
There is such a process.
But for those "super giants" who are not good enough, if you look at their growth trajectory, you will find that there is a lack of such a period of data explosion...
Except for Li Wan...
He entered the data explosion period and the period when he led the team to the "four consecutive championships" coincided.
This also greatly accelerated his steps towards "President Hill"!
But he is a "wall hanger" after all.
In this game, it can also be clearly felt that Jokic's performance is still very immature when facing these real super giants. In addition to not shooting high enough, his number of turnovers is also higher than usual.
In the end, the Nuggets lost to the Columbus Explorers by 108 to 119, 11 points.
However, head coach Malone didn't care that Jokic's performance in this game was not as good as usual. He patted Jokic's butt comfortingly and told him not to take it seriously.
He is only 23 years old, and he already has such a game performance. The future... is definitely bright!
In addition to Jokic, Murray scored 19 points in this game.
So far in the new season, his scoring average has also soared to 16.8 points, which is already the performance of a second-rate scorer in the league.
It is worth mentioning that one or two media said that "the shadow of Li Wan can be seen from Murray".
The reason is that:
He always hits some incredible goals!
It looks very much like Li Wan who just debuted!
Even just one or two media outlets are enough to show how incredible Murray's performance is at certain moments.
You know, this is Li Wan's peak period, and the media and experts in the league dare not say that there is any rookie like him, because the result of that is to be "attacked by groups".
At such a time, it takes enough courage to say that Murray is like Li Wan, even if it is only at certain times, and it is only a faint shadow.
Murray still needs to show enough performance.
Needless to say, in this game, he really accomplished a similar "magic stroke" against Li Wan. A three-pointer that Li Wan had completely blocked his sight was thrown into the basket abruptly.
But Li Wan didn't give him a thumbs up. Instead, he used three consecutive three-pointers of the same difficulty to make him doubt his life.
Who is okay to give a thumbs up to the opponent on the court!
This alliance is really like a "friendship game between brothers".
The goat fan who did this also called it "respecting the opponent"!
Are you sure you didn't take the initiative to show your favor so that you can bring your talent over in the future?
However, although Li Wan chose to make him doubt his life on the field, after the game, when talking about Murray's goal, he still gave affirmation: "When he can hit more similar goals, he will be a great player." Great scorer!"
Hearing this, Murray was very encouraged: "I grew up watching the match between Kobe and Li Wan. I look forward to that matchup, and I also hope to do the same thing as Kobe!"
Ok……
Murray is a "Comit."
After the 23-year Western Conference Finals in the original time and space, he said this: "When I watched the game, people said that Kobe was the nemesis of the Nuggets, but now I have no chance to play against him and beat him in the frontcourt. If Kobe still With the Lakers, this Western Conference Finals might reach the tiebreaker, and of course I have always believed that we will win."
Look at you giving him a thumbs up on the playing field is a fart!Although they were perfunctory to you, they turned around and said, "Kobe leads the team, we will fight harder"!
so……
Winning people's hearts still depends on the performance on the field.
After Li Wan knew Murray's words, he also remembered that Murray was a "Comi", and felt that beating Murray was too light.
Ok……
He's not unhappy because Murray is "Comi"~
Li Wan is very clear...
The players who grew up watching him play haven't entered the league yet!
The person Tyronn Lue praised the most after the game was Sabonis Jr.
整个11月份都没支棱起来的小萨博尼斯在这场比赛打出了可以说是新赛季以来最好的表现，23分8篮板6助攻1盖帽。
Especially these 6 assists fully demonstrated his coping ability in the high position.
This is what Tyronn Lue has been looking forward to.
If there is something wrong with Jokic, the defense is indeed not so satisfactory, and there is nothing to argue with.
So Sabonis said modestly after this game: "I hope to continue my performance on the field."
On the 4th, the Columbus Explorers continued to challenge the away game, this time it was Li Wan's "old club" New York Knicks.
Excited New York fans ran to the airport to pick him up. The crowds made people think of the scene when Li Wan just transferred to the New York Knicks.It is now the 4th year since Li Wan left the New York Knicks, but New York fans are still full of nostalgia for him.
"ESPN" reported on this: "Please stop saying that New York fans are enough jerks. If that's the case, look at their attitude towards Li Wan. When you give them a shocking enough era, then New York fans will be like this." The most loving fans of the era! It’s just that no one has done such a thing before...I’m afraid no one will be able to do such a thing in the future!”
The attention of the outside world in this game is still quite high.
Because this is the first time in the 17-year "No. [-]" Fultz's career that he faced Li Wan.
When reporters asked Fultz how he felt about this before the game, he said: "There is no doubt that this is an exciting moment. When Li Wan won the championship in 09, it was the first year I officially started to play basketball. Watching him go to the top step by step, becoming the greatest player of this era, and growing up, I have been looking forward to this day since I was sure that I will enter the NBA!"
Li Wan: Huh?
Two days ago, the player who was talking about watching him play had not yet entered the league. Unexpectedly, a 17-year "champion pick" appeared and disclosed his identity as a "fan boy".
Li Wan has always been a "fan", so before the start of the game, he approached Tyronn Lu: "Dude, leave this guy to me to defend!"
Tyronn Lue was not surprised by this at all. When Fultz said that he was a fan of Li Wan, he had already expected such a "teaching party" of "Welcome Fultz to the NBA" !
In this way, Li Wan was ready to fight against Fultz.
Looking at Fultz's scouting report...
So far in the new season, Fultz has averaged 15.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game... Among all the rookies in the 17th session, his statistics are not so outstanding.
相比场均15.8分8.1篮板8.2助攻的“留级生”本-西蒙斯、场均20.5分3.5篮板3.7助攻的米切尔、场均16.1分6.1篮板的库兹马以及15.2分5.2助攻的小丹尼斯-史密斯……
He really doesn't have any obvious advantages, it can only be said that he has not broken away from the first rank among the students of the same class.
But at this time, Li Wan suddenly remembered that he seemed to be reimbursed for the season with the 76ers after only playing a few games.
It seems that during an injury in the summer league, he got a strange disease called "neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome". ——It’s scary to say that the original Fultz averaged 76 points, 18.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game when the 5ers played in the summer league. This son has a promising future", and then he was injured and got a strange disease.
Even later, he encountered a strange disease such as a torn ligament that ruined his career.
The praise from the "God of Basketball" is so unpretentious and terrifying!
可以这样说，原本的富尔茨遭遇了一个外线球员可以遭遇的所有倒霉事情，除了丢掉生命……但他还是在2022~2023赛季打了60场首发，场均29.4分钟的时间，每场比赛可以拿到14分3.9篮板4.7助攻1.5抢断……投篮命中率51%！
Fate has tossed him for 5 seasons, but he still handed over such a report card. Compared with Milicic, a European golden boy, he didn't play for 2 years and was directly abolished.It can be seen that Fultz's talent is fierce.
And after being selected by the New York Knicks this time, it seems that even his luck has improved. Not to mention that he didn't get injured in the summer league, and he hasn't encountered any strange things so far.
It was only at that moment that I could say "the choice of fate".
Fultz, who is not injured, is slowly fulfilling his talent in the New York Knicks, and is even about to realize his dream of facing Li Wan...
amount……
Ok!
Although they competed on the same stage, Fultz, who was only a freshman, obviously couldn't do it against Biao.
Especially Li Wanfang was very serious.
On the first ball, Fultz just wanted to show off his outstanding explosive power, but it turned out that Li Wan accurately predicted his change of direction and broke the ball from his hands.
Turning your head is a fast break.
And the moment Li Wan got the ball and started to walk, Fultz was frightened. He thought he was already a genius whose physical talent exploded. Tatum, Lonzo Ball and other equally talented players, he has never looked at them.
At this moment, Li Wan's explosive power made him feel the gap.
Does Jie mean "god"?
He tried his best to give him a confrontation, but it was a pity that he had only honed his physical strength through the NBA for less than half a season, and he was directly pushed away in just one blow.In their Upper Marlborough, Maryland dialect, it is:
God, you can kill my brother!
But this was just the beginning. In the following time, Li Wan worked harder on the defensive end. In the end, Fultz took 17 shots and only hit 5 of them.
The hit rate is not even 30%.
However, after the game, Fultz was very excited. Facing the media, he said: "I can feel Li Wan's seriousness. To be honest, it feels great to be beaten by him as an opponent! Looking forward to playing against him next time!"
His remarks won Li Wan's "likes".
This kind of spirit is a plus for Li Wan.
Sure enough, our fans are all this kind of guy who gets more and more courageous when he gets frustrated.
He said bluntly: "I like this guy. Maybe the New York Knicks will enter the next stage under his leadership. I think the New York Knicks must protect this guy. If there are no injuries, he will be a very good player." Guy!" So he added a few words.
Even if Fultz is so unlucky that he explodes, if the team's management and team medical team can pay more attention to his growth, it should be able to make him have a healthier physical fitness, right?
To be honest, some teams have that kind of ethos, and you have to accept it if you don’t agree, such as Portland, or the original Philadelphia 76ers. Starting from Embiid, this team’s top picks every year Experienced the season reimbursement of the rookie season.
And judging from the fate of Embiid, Ben Simmons and Fultz in the original time and space.
Embiid is the luckiest of them, but it goes without saying how often he gets injured...
The other two, Ben Simmons's weird back injury can't heal anyway, and Fultz also suffered from a weird or even a rare disease that is rare in a century.
However, such a thing is difficult to encounter in other teams...
You have to suspect that this is caused by the ethos of the team.
Get out of there and maybe have a completely different career.
For example, the current Wiggins and Wiggins, who was originally traded to the Timberwolves by the Cavaliers, are players with completely different attitudes. Now Wiggins is full of energy in the game!
Li Wan's words are no less than an "imperial decree" to the management of the New York Knicks, or in other words, to the New York fans, no less than an "instruction". After the successor of the New York Knicks", the entire team, no, it should be said that the attitude of the entire city towards Fultz suddenly changed.
Fultz has gained much, much more heat than before!
In the face of these heats, what Fultz felt the most was the affirmation from Li Wan. He immediately thought to himself:
In the name of Li Wan, save New York!
Barkley couldn't help teasing: "Obviously, this is still Li Wan's city, it hasn't changed!"
In this game, Sabonis Jr. still played brilliantly, scoring 18 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. In front of Jahlil Okafor, he played very easily.
Played a good performance in two consecutive games.
Tyronn Lue is more confident: "I think he will remember how he feels now, and then turn his performance into normal. He will still go through tests, but I believe that he can overcome these problems, because he is indeed better than the original. More progress!"
Little Sabonis is obviously very uncomfortable with his head coach praising himself one after another. He really wants to say something, begging for "milk".
Because in the next game, he will face a test.
In the next game of the Columbus Trail Blazers, they will return to the home court to face the challenge of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Facing Aldridge and Oden's "inside combination", Sabonis Jr. ushered in the first hard battle in December.
It is worth mentioning that the day before the start of the game, Sabonis Jr. received a call from his father. His father, Arvedas Sabonis, who is known as the "roof of the world", will watch him play on the spot. !
