Chapter 286 The Li Wan Who Wants "Perfect" and the Thunder Team Who Don't Want Him to
Chapter 286 The Li Wan Who Wants "Perfect" and the Thunder Team Who Don't Want Him to be "Perfect"
Before Game [-] of the series, the New York Knicks finalized their new starting lineup:
"Li Wan in position [-], Ray Allen in position [-], Paul Pierce in position [-], Chris Bosh in position [-], Tyson Chandler in position [-];"
Not to mention others, even Li Wan was a little stunned when he saw this lineup.
This can be in a team, is there still a law?
Is there any reason?
Fortunately, not all of them are at their peak, if all of them are at their peak...
Let's put it this way, if David Stern doesn't engage in black-box operations, it won't be a problem to win his 6 consecutive championships!
D'Antoni's idea is that since he has already decided to fight against the Thunder, he simply chooses the combination with the most fierce firepower...
The next day, the fourth game of the finals came as scheduled. When the commentators on the major commentary platforms saw these five people walking on the field together, they also had some surprises on their faces:
Is Jie really a combination that can be put together?
However, considering their age...
Ray Allen is 38 years old, and Paul Pierce is 37 years old. These are "senior old people".
The remaining Chris Bosh was also just injured in the Heat. When he came to the New York Knicks, it was once considered a small loss for the New York Knicks. It was Li Wan who made his heart "love like fire" again and burned. stand up……
Therefore, the surprise is the surprise, and it is not directly labeled as a "group" like some groups.
and……
How can this be confused?
Li Wan was staying in New York, and Ray Allen and Pierce took the initiative to find him.
And some people announced that they would take their talents to the south coast and join the group forcibly when others had already formed two teams.
To give an inappropriate example, it is also divorced, Li Wan's woman came to knock on the door on her own initiative, and lived with him in his own home; Living in someone else's house, but also exercising the rights of the owner.
This wave!
This wave is forcibly "soft rice hard food"!
The cheers on the scene reached their climax when the Thunder team entered the field.
The last victory allowed the Oklahomans to see how amazing the limits of the "Three Young Masters" are, and it also made them full of confidence in the "Three Young Masters".
Until the last moment, they firmly believe that everything is possible...
maybe……
They returned to New York with a 2-2 tie!
Their eyes are full of light.
The eyes of the thunder team generals are full of fighting spirit!
The game starts soon.
In the jump ball stage, Tyson Chandler confronted Ibaka and successfully jumped off the initiative.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt, and Kevin Durant intercepted it. When he got in front of him and wanted to take a step forward, Li Wan lowered his center of gravity and directly broke through to the right. With the cover of Tyson Chandler , A gust of wind rushed into the inside line.
Perkins, who came out, didn't even have time to block the reaction, and watched Li Wan rush into the basket.
Ibaka is indeed "tough" enough. The dunk in the first game of the series seemed to have no effect on him at all. This round he rushed straight up, trying to block it.
Li Wan gave the ball to Chris Bosh who followed up.
Ibaka turned his head back to defend, and "Dragon King" immediately returned the ball to Li Wan.
"Bah!"
Split buckle with one hand.
2-0!
The Thunder's offensive round.
As soon as Westbrook reached the frontcourt with the ball, Li Wan got tangled up.
In the confrontation, Westbrook attempted to directly tear a hole through strength and explosive power. ——This move can be regarded as the most common move he used to face Beverly, and it restrained Beverly to death, without any temper.
But hitting Li Wan, Westbrook felt as if he had hit a wall.
"Bah!"
With a dull sound, Li Wan was fine, but he staggered.
Li Wan seized the opportunity, took out the ball quickly with sharp eyesight, and took advantage of the opportunity to take the ball and blow the horn of counterattack.
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, and then it all turned into boos.
There were huge boos one after another, and Li Wan "spread the eagle's wings", jumped one step before the free throw line and made a "gliding dunk", and simply smashed the ball into the basket.
"Bah!"
Power down.
4-0!
Li Wan scored four points in a row at the start.
Kenny Smith shook his head secretly, thinking:
This pervert!
When Li Wan pushed forward to counterattack, the "Wang Zha" group followed behind him.
There is no doubt about the talents of these two people, but even with the talents of these two people, in this "chasing battle", they cannot get closer to Li Wan.
How much was the difference at the beginning, and when Li Wan completed the dunk, the distance seemed to be wider...
This shows that Li Wan's explosive power and speed are stronger than these two people.
Brooks motions for the ball to Kevin Durant.
"Xiao Shuai" is indeed in good condition this season. Facing Paul Pierce on the flank, he forced a shot and accurately dried the ball into the basket.
3 points scored!
The Thunder's home court, which had been silenced because of Li Wan's consecutive attacks, was filled with cheers.
It was the New York Knicks' turn to attack again.
When Li Wan came to the front court, he glanced at Paul Pierce for the first time, seeing his eagerness to return a fight, and sent the ball towards his hand.
"Truth" took the ball and did not let him down.
Kevin Durant faced Paul Pierce just now, although it was very easy, but in the same way, when Paul Pierce showed a wretched smile and said, "The kid just voted very well, the uncle is going to hit the back now", Kevin Durant's expression suddenly became stiff.
He has confrontation, but if he is compared with "old fritters" like Paul Pierce, his confrontation is not enough.
After the huge "arch groove" of the big butt generally made Kevin Durant so unlovable, Paul Pierce turned over and made a jumper and easily hit the mid-range.
After scoring the goal, Paul Pierce shook his head while returning to the defense, as if to say, "My kid, uncle is not satisfied yet, why are you so soft!"
The score difference is 6-3!
The Thunder counterattacked again, and the ball went to Kevin Durant.
Paul Pierce stuck up decisively and confronted him. When he tried to break through forcefully, Tyson Chandler also immediately made up defense.
When Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were placed on the wing, D'Antoni emphasized one thing to Tyson Chandler before he went on the court:
Supplementary defense, supplementary defense, or f*cking supplementary defense!
Kevin Durant managed to break through Paul Pierce. Looking at Tyson Chandler who was in front of him, he wanted to lob the ball to the inside, but he made a wrong pass and was successfully intercepted by Li Wan.
Seeing another counterattack, the helpless Westbrook chose to foul.
Brooks hurriedly made a substitution at this time and brought James Harden on the field.
Although he played less than 3 minutes in the opening game, he could feel that just relying on the "Wang Zang Combination" could no longer keep up with the speed of the opponent on the offensive end. He had to put James Harden earlier. Put on the pitch.
Li Wan went to the frontcourt, Paul Pierce went around to catch the ball from the wing, and after deceiving Kevin Durant, opened the distance for Chris Bosh near the baseline on the same side, and Li Wan passed the ball directly to the latter In his hand, Bosh got the ball and played singles with the ball. Seeing that Ibaka didn't dare to defend, he shot a three-pointer.
"Bang Dang" sound, miss!
The Thunder rushed to the basket with the New York Knicks' outside players, but Tyson Chandler grabbed the rebound early, and with the advantage of his height and wingspan, he dunked on Perkins' head .
Perkins felt helpless as if he was a 4-jin fat man.
He's really trying to rebound, but he's really...
I can't jump up!
8-3!
It was the Thunder's turn to attack again, and Westbrook and James Harden crossed positions outside the three-point line, successfully forming a dislocation with Ray Allen.Then there was a "violent push". Ray Allen's physical fitness is not bad, but he is 38 years old, so he was crushed all the way into the inside line.
When the inside line formed an encirclement, he quickly passed the ball to Ibaka who leaked out.
"18 cards" mid-range hit...
5-8!
James Harden showed his role from the beginning.
If Sefolosha was still on the flank, Li Wan and Ray Allen would not need to switch defenses so quickly, but could slowly bypass each other and continue to defend their targets.
Sefolosha has a good three-point shot and a good shooting percentage, but only in the regular season.
He averaged 3% of his 24.1-pointers in the playoffs!
And only 1.4 shots per game...
However, D'Antoni was not in a hurry seeing that the Thunder team scored goals through cooperation this time, and still watched with confidence.
Sure enough, in the next round, Ray Allen, who had been quiet all the time, went out from the outside line and simply pulled up, raised his knife and dropped it, and responded with a three-pointer.
The score came to 11 to 5.
Brooks hastily called a timeout.
Drexler shook his head.
The offensive firepower of the New York Knicks is too fierce, especially against the "Thunder Three" who scored 92 points in the last game. Against the backdrop of the three of them, the firepower of the New York Knicks is even more fierce.
"No wonder, the defense has been taken down. With this firepower, what defense is there? Just face it!" Kenny Smith also sighed.
What they lamented was also the problem Brooks discovered. He knew very well that if the Thunder still wanted to win, there were only two ways.
As soon as this idea flashed through Brooks' mind, he gave it up.
As far as the New York Knicks are concerned, if you don't pull the "best defensive team" over and try to limit their offense, it should be a dead end!
Then there is only the second way...
"I believe in your abilities, and you also have to believe in your own abilities. Don't be burdened, just release it to your heart's content. You guys have proved it in the last game. As long as you perform well, the whole world will give way to you!"
The second way is to:
Dried up this bowl of "chicken soup", and then...
It's done!
This bowl of "chicken soup" was very effective. When Westbrook came on the stage, he was obviously more motivated than before. He caught Li Wan and wanted to rush in, but was covered by Li Wan's "face-on big hat", which made him dizzy.
In the first round, the Thunder's offense ended with Westbrook being blocked.
Brooks subconsciously wanted to cover his face.
How could I forget this buddy!
This buddy can't drink chicken soup!
Westbrook is a man, just four words:
Reject mediocrity.
Either "kill a thousand enemies", or "destroy a thousand yourself", and never do the "cowardly" thing.
Just now, it was obvious that he was rushing to "kill the enemy a thousand", and then "damage himself a thousand".
The New York Knicks successfully counterattacked. Chris Bosh received a pass from Li Wan and made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The handicap came to 14-5...
Another 1 points!
The New York Knicks can open up a double-digit point difference.
And the game started in less than 5 minutes.
between……
D'Antoni was also stunned. He didn't expect that the "full output" New York Knicks would be so fierce. What kind of "defense" is there?Just be reckless in the end.
He patted Mike Brown next to him: "Man, you can be a spectator in this game with peace of mind!"
Kevin Durant stood up again, facing Li Wan and Paul Pierce's supplementary defense, he actually made a drifting back move and drove the ball into the basket.
It's a pity that this shooting is not scored based on the difficulty, otherwise the goal is scored, let alone 5 points...
And in the next round when he was exhausted and finally hit a difficult goal, Li Wan and Tyson Chandler completed the pick-and-roll, Perkins failed to make up in time, and Li Wan had an easy jump shot. Chance.
"Shh!"
The ball falls into the basket.
The point difference returned to 9 points.
Seeing Li Wan return to defense with a relaxed face, without even a slight change in breathing because of this goal, Kevin Durant suddenly felt the urge to cry.
This is too bullying!
Why is it so easy for him to score?
Kevin Durant didn't have much time to think about this question, because it was the Thunder's turn to attack again. Instead of thinking about why Li Wan scored so easily, the first thing he had to think about was...
How to put the damn ball in the rim of the New York Knicks.
The New York Knicks' defensive approach to him has almost been fixed...Paul Pierce entangled him closely, and then Li Wan and Tyson Chandler watched the situation and double-teamed him.
Kevin Durant's speed is higher than that of the 37-year-old Paul Pierce, but the problem is that the confrontation given by this guy prevents him from fully exerting his strength. By the time he got stuck and could continue to attack the basket, the New York Knicks and the support players had already woken up, yawned, and waited for him to enter the "cage".
By the way, I also gave him a math problem of "chicken and rabbit in the same cage": said that there are 6 legs on the field, guess how many of them are here to defend you!
"Dangdang!"
Unable to rush towards the basket, Kevin Durant, who has limited vision, simply shot directly.
This time the difficult shot failed to hit.
Ibaka desperately grabbed the offensive rebound. When he was looking for an offensive opportunity, he was hard-pressed by Chris Bosh. When he twisted his feet to look for his teammates, the referee whistled:
Ibaka go!
"damn it!"
"Congo Man" muttered something in his mouth, and slapped the ball hard, his expression a little more irritable.
Once again, the Thunder's offense came to nothing.
Brooks watched the score gradually expand. At 8 minutes and 56 seconds in the first quarter, he chose to call another timeout.
This pause still works...
After this timeout, the Thunder narrowed the gradually opened point difference back to 10 points.
Don't get me wrong!
It's not that there was any change on the Thunder side, but that the New York Knicks chose to make substitutions when Brooks called a timeout. Both Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were replaced in that round. Li Wan Returned to number three.
The wind stopped, the rain cleared up, and Westbrook, who faced Beverly again, was fine again.
In the rest of the first quarter, he scored 7 points in a row, helping the team enter the second quarter with a 29-39, 10-point difference.
After the first quarter, the data on both sides are:
李万8分2篮板2助攻；雷-阿伦6分；保罗-皮尔斯6分；克里斯-波什8分；泰森-钱德勒5分……主打的就是一个“雨露均沾”，多点开花。
Compared with the New York Knicks, the Thunder's scoring is more concentrated:
Kevin Durant scored 11 points, Westbrook scored 9 points, and James Harden scored 6 points... The three together scored 26 points, and the remaining 3 points were all from Iran. Baccarat's.
The rest of the Thunder didn't score.
Of course, the Thunder did not make any substitutions in the first quarter. Kevin Durant and Westbrook both played the full first quarter. After James Harden replaced Sefolosha, he never left the field again. .
Nick Collison replaced Perkins at 7 minutes and 45 seconds of the first quarter, but like Perkins, he focused on "defensive presence" and had a chance to attack, but unfortunately, He couldn't grasp it.
But in this way, as soon as the second quarter came up, the New York Knicks had more advantages in the lineup. Except for Li Wan who was still resting off the court, Paul Pierce and Chris Bosh were all picked up by D'Antoni in advance. field.
Speaking of which, although the Heat did not achieve the same results this time, Spoelstra still made a huge contribution to the league. For example, his tactical system of "always ensuring that a giant is on the court" was recognized by the league. Other coaches use...
That's the case with D'Antoni right now.
Although it was Chris Bosh and Paul Pierce who came up, facing the Thunder without the presence of the "Three Young Men of the Thunder", this lineup can really be described as "luxury".
Brooks looked at the score difference that was finally approaching and was slowly opened by the two hangers. At 2 minutes and 21 seconds of the second quarter, he could only bring the "Three Thunders" back on the field.
It is worth mentioning that originally he only planned to play James Harden. After all, he played relatively late in the first quarter, and it is reasonable to say that he is also the most physically fit among the "Thunder Thunder".
The result can be...
Jie D'Antoni played "refueling tactics" with him. If you play James Harden, then I will play Ray Allen.
In the end, Brooks could only pull all the "Three Young Thunder" back to the court.
When the first quarter was full, the speed of returning to the court was faster than that of the opponent's core, and a foreseeable hidden danger was buried...
At 6 minutes and 34 seconds of the third quarter, the "Thunder Thunder" suddenly exploded collectively just like the third game of the series. The three scored 3 points in 15 minutes, showing their terrifying talent again.
Even though Li Wan activated the "Nervous Knife Badge" at this time, the combined scoring power of the "Three Young Masters of Thunder" obviously cannot be countered by Li Wan's 10% increase in offensive ability.
But just when the fans at the scene felt better, the hidden danger planted by the Thunder in the second quarter broke out...
At 4 minutes and 15 seconds of the fourth quarter, Kevin Durant, Westbrook and James Harden had physical problems one after another...
It's no wonder that they fought the whole game in the last game, and they were forced to have almost no rest time in this game. Even "Iron Man" couldn't stand this kind of intensity.
What's more, they are not iron men...
The Thunder began to make frequent mistakes.
Seeing them like this, D'Antoni's old god showed a "magic smile" that "is exactly as I expected" on his face.
Another very important reason why he wants to speed up the tempo with the Thunder is:
physical fitness!
The Thunder have played 7 games against the Spurs, and Popovich also used the "turn off the air conditioner" tactic. In the first three games of the finals, especially the third game won by the Thunder, the whole The Thunder's demand for the "Three Young Men of the Thunder" is like a young woman in her thirties and 40s.
Moreover, at this time, I have to mention Westbrook again...
This "reckless man" is a representative of others who "reckless" with him, he will definitely follow reckless to the end, don't talk to me about organization, don't talk about rhythm with me, just do it!
It is also thanks to him that the New York Knicks were able to speed up the tempo so smoothly...
For Jason Kidd or something, this "war of attrition" for the Thunder's physical fitness may not be on track so soon!
But now "the deal is done", D'Antoni also has his hands in his pockets, and he doesn't know what a "timeout" is.In fact, he still has 4 useless timeouts in his hands, but in the case of the Thunder team, he knows very well that these 4 timeouts can be kept in his hands to "cub".
At this time, you really can't give the opponent a chance to breathe.
Who knows, did this short 30-second rest period allow them to break through the "fatigue limit" and find their "self".
therefore……
not called!
Do not call to death!
In Brooks' "resentful" eyes, the game was lost. —Don't ask why Brooks didn't call a timeout, just ask...fucking run out!
In the end, the whole game ended, 128 to 109. The New York Knicks beat the Thunder by 19 points, won the fourth game of the series, and returned to New York with the match point.
李万在这场比赛最终砍下了系列赛新高的40分，另外还有10篮板14助攻3抢断以及2盖帽。
In this game, the New York Knicks actually only led by 11 points when the "thunder three" had physical problems, but at this moment, Li Wan broke out and scored 10 points in a row by himself, helping the team to expand the point difference to . More than 10 points, and the victory is sealed.
When Li Wan scored consecutively, all the commentators were stunned.
They never expected that the game was already in the fourth quarter, and this guy actually still had such physical fitness and played with such explosive power.
Lee Wan who doesn't have to guard Kevin Durant...
too strong!
"He sacrificed too much for this team!" Barkley sighed.
Defense has never been the job of a team's core, but Li Wan took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of defending Kevin Durant in the first few games.
Kevin Durant scored 37 points. This is the first time in this round of the series that he scored lower than Li Wan in a single game.
However, before his physical problems, his score was higher than Li Wan's. At that time, Li Wan had only scored 25 points, while he had already scored 33 points.
It's just that Li Wan scored 10 points in a row and quickly overtook the score, allowing the New York Knicks to widen the gap.
In Kevin Durant's eyes, what he saw was that the distance between himself and Li Wan was getting farther and farther...
He is so far behind!
Of course, this was his own idea, but the commentary was filled with admiration for him.
In this game, Kevin Durant, who was not Li Wan's main defense, averaged 55% of his shots per game, which was 5 percentage points higher than his previous three games.
Simply scary!
Also in this matchup with Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce was once again glad that he came to the New York Knicks... For a guy like Kevin Durant, in addition to the New York Knicks, Paul Pierce also I really can't think of which team I am in, and I can beat him steadily!
But, although he was blown up by Kevin Durant on the defensive end, he also completed his task perfectly on the offensive end. He played 30 minutes tonight and scored 18 points, which is very good. Pinned down the Thunder's flank.
Li Wan scored 10 points in a row in the fourth quarter, which was inseparable from the fact that he had already contained the Thunder's flanks and opened up enough space!
威斯布鲁克今晚的数据为19分5篮板4助攻，此外还有6个失误，以及33.3%的投篮命中率。
Facing Li Wan tonight, he used the same method he used against Beverly to deal with Li Wan, but in the end he hit himself badly.
With Li Wan's current physical fitness, it is really not difficult to defend against a "stupid young man" like Westbrook.
Just kidding, LeBron James said that he defends everything, almost the LeBron James No. [-] version of Westbrook, can he not defend?After all, Westbrook is smaller than LeBron James in every way, and...
Compared with Westbrook's nagging shooting ability, LeBron James can be said to be a "magic shooter"!
Li Wan restrained him very easily.
James Harden scored 19 points.
40% shooting from the field...
In this game, he and Ray Allen belonged to "mutual torture". Although Ray Allen could not limit his offense with the ball, he could only chase Ray Allen desperately during the offensive round of the New York Knicks. Run.
Originally, physical fitness was a big problem for James Harden.This time, following Ray Allen's ass, he was consuming energy all the time, which made his energy consumption even faster than usual.
So much so that although he played a few minutes later than the "Wang Zha Combination", his physical energy was consumed at the same rate as them.
Before Kevin Durant got tired, he was tired.
"Li Wan, first of all, congratulations on winning tonight's game. After this victory, you also successfully won the match point. Then you will return to the home court. This may also be your last game in New York Knicks What I want to know is, do you have any special preparations for this game?"
After the game, the reporter's eyes have been placed on the next game.
Winning the Thunder again, the New York Knicks are only one game away from "four consecutive championships".
At the same time, this will also be Li Wan's real "last dance" in the New York Knicks!
Otherwise, if they want to return to the home court to win the championship, they will have to play the seventh game of the series. With Li Wan's character, he will definitely not allow such an unsafe thing to happen.
and so……
Game 5 of this series, even for the New York Knicks with 3 match points, is a game that cannot be missed.
The reporters wanted to know Li Wan's attitude towards this game and the performance he wanted to perform in this game.
"I hope...it's a night that will please all New Yorkers!"
Li Wan's reply was very brief, but it exploded in New York the next day.
New York-born Hollywood actress Alexandra Daddario affectionately "confessed": "You know what? Li Wan, when you are about to leave New York, no matter what kind of performance you play, we will not Satisfied, but regretted!"
Her words spoke out the aspirations of most New York fans, and also made her Twitter followers increase by 30 within half a day.
This is Li Wan's current popularity and influence in New York.
Any female celebrity who expresses affection for him is worthy of attention in the eyes of New York fans. Among other things, this mouth...is very sweet!
Sadness and resentment pervaded New York.
Knicks fans right now really don't want tomorrow to come so soon, or even...
"Li Wan, if you don't win the championship, won't you leave?"
"If the New York Knicks didn't win this championship, Li Wan, would you stay?"
"I suddenly don't want to see the New York Knicks win the championship, so maybe Li Wan won't leave!"
……
In their impression, Li Wan has always been a very responsible "dominant president", allowing them to "open champagne" in advance without any scruples. It is absolutely impossible for such a person to allow himself to leave. A "overall runner-up", oh sorry, no trophy for "runner-up"!
Since the "runner-up" has no trophy, what do you want to exchange for the "championship" trophy?
It is absolutely impossible for Li Wan to allow himself to leave as the "general runner-up"...
and so……
Kevin Durant, can you help us beat Li Wan?
Yes!
A similar voice suddenly became louder.
The New York fans are completely crazy. For them who have always regarded the championship as their life, and only care about the results and not the people, Li Wan has become a more important existence than the championship trophy without knowing it!
At least for now at this moment...
They know very well...
Without Li Wan, New York would only have one championship trophy at most, but if Li Wan continued to be in New York, there would be N championship trophies!
Ok……
This is what they learned from looking at the sad Los Angeles people!
Look at how many O'Brien Cups the Los Angeles people have lost for a championship trophy!
This is a typical "small loss, big loss". They thought they had made a profit, but in fact they lost even their underwear.
Even more exaggerated is...
When New York fans taught their children a lesson, they called "Los Angeles kids" even if they were "stupid"!
Kevin Durant is mad...
He felt insulted!
You bloody New Yorkers, do you really think we're doomed?
Actually came to boo!
Just wait, wait and see us win game by game, and finally come back to win the championship!
Kevin Durant still has a heart to turn around...
Brooks is more practical than him, and his goal is not to win three games in a row, but to...
"Next time, let's win it back!"
Yes!
His goal is to win another game.
As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as they win one more game, even if the Thunder lose in Game [-] of the series, it will still bring some discomfort to the New York Knicks.
He read today's newspapers thoroughly, so he knows exactly how important Game [-] of the series is to the New York Knicks and to Li Wan.
Without considering the seventh game of the series, if they want to perfectly end the "Li Wan era" of the New York Knicks, then they must win tomorrow's game.
"Think about it, when Li Wan didn't play the last game of his New York Knicks career at his home court and won the championship trophy, how regretful he would be, and how regretful the New York fans would be!"
If Game [-] of the series is deliberately forfeited because of this, all the better!
Even if they lost, the Thunder would be honored to lose.
You know, no team can force Li Wan to the seventh game of the series in the finals!
Brooks' words were very effective. Before the start of the fifth game of the finals, his words made the Thunder team full of energy, especially Kevin Du Rand, now full of energy, vowed to win the fifth game of the series and leave some imperfect regrets for Li Wan!
As for the New York Knicks, D'Antoni also had a chat with Li Wan.
"Dude, don't worry about voting tomorrow, and try to break the single-game scoring record in the finals!"
The current highest score in a single game in the NBA Finals belongs to Elgin Baylor!
In the 1962 NBA Finals, Baylor scored 61 points against the Celtics, creating a "scoring myth" in the finals, and even the "God of Basketball" failed to break this "myth"!
But even though "Lord Baylor" scored 61 points, the Lakers were defeated by the Celtics led by Russell in the end of the game...
How do you say that?
This is life!
This kind of performance can't make the team win, and then think about "Baylor"'s entire career "no championship" seems... quite reasonable!
When Li Wan heard D'Antoni's words, he had a feeling at the time:
Gone!
Gone!
This "mustache" is completely gone!
This is the stage of the finals, without thinking about how to win, they are actually instigating the core of the team to break the historical record of the NBA Finals...
This coach...
It's not in vain that Li Wan took him to win the "three consecutive championships" and is about to win the "four consecutive championships"!
You must know that there are two people tied with him in the "three consecutive championships", but if the New York Knicks win the "four consecutive championships", then D'Antoni can squeeze out even Phil Jackson, second only to the "red shirts". bishop"!
Of course, as far as the Celtics' record of "eight consecutive championships" is concerned, it is estimated that until the collapse of the NBA, it is impossible for any team to break it...
After all, this is not something that can be accomplished by just one generation of "core lineup". In order to continue the team's "core lineup", the "Cardinal" played so many tricks that he almost completed the entire NBA's "2k game" alone. , This ensures that the "Green Army" can always be strong.
Now that the league officials have more control over the league than any team, it is difficult for any team to achieve "eight consecutive championships".
Even the "four consecutive championships" of the New York Knicks shouldn't have happened.
Fortunately, this "three consecutive championships" is in the stage of handing over the rights of the league president. David Stern wanted to have a satisfactory result, but he caught up with the "joke" thing.
It also coincided with the alliance signing a new broadcast contract, requiring Li Wan's "Last Dance" as a gimmick to ensure the exposure of the outside world...
This gave the New York Knicks the chance to continue dominating the league.
It's not that David Stern doesn't want to move, but the current situation needs to be stabilized!
I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next opportunity like this...
What's more, with the advent of the era of big contracts flying all over the sky, people's hearts are floating. If you play a little bit of data, you want a big contract. If you get a big contract, you think you have to be the absolute core of the team. If you dare to let me sit on the bench, I will dare Playing "Who is the undercover agent" with you, even if there is a "big brother" with 4 crowns in the team, they will still be dissatisfied.
Even if there is such an opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve such an achievement.
In four years, some contradictions will always be magnified infinitely...
In this way, it is tantamount to saying that D'Antoni will become the second "chief coach" of the league under the "Cardinal"!
With this honor, unless D'Antoni doesn't want to play anymore, he may be able to work as a head coach to death.
Thinking about it this way, I understand why D'Antoni is so considerate of Li Wan.
However, Li Wan refused.
After all, the Thunder is a team with 3 regular season MVPs, which cannot be underestimated.
In fact, from the very beginning, Li Wan didn't intend to make any big noises in this "last dance", just get a score of 40 points and 50 points...
The most important thing is to win the game.
His previous reply to the reporter can be understood as...
Bait!
Let the Thunder team think he wants to do something, and then target him, so as to help the rest of the team score more easily!
As long as they can win the fifth game of the series and win the O'Brien Cup at home, that would be enough!
Li Wan replied to D'Antoni with a smile: "I have left enough legendary stories for this city, and I don't need to deliberately leave something at the end!"
D'Antoni couldn't help giving a thumbs up:
Good B!
I give 9 points!
But he also knew that Li Wan was telling the truth... If Li Wan's legendary stories in the past four years were not enough, then other NBA players really relied on their defense...
Maybe it's because Li Wan told the truth that people want to kick him so much?
I owe you a beating~
At the end of the conversation, D'Antoni suddenly said to Li Wan: "Li, it's a pleasure working with you!"
Li Wan looked at D'Antoni, could feel his sincerity, and nodded: "Me too!"
Finally, on June 6, the fifth match day of the finals arrived.
Outside Madison Square Garden, there was a low air pressure, and the "retain" posters that could be seen everywhere made all the New York fans present red-eyed.
Dolan quietly bought a season ticket to Moscow.
Because Moscow has no tears.
When Li Wan drove by, he deliberately stopped the car, and looked towards the fan square, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.
Seriously, he's had a great time with the New York Knicks for four years.
If it weren't for what the silly Dolan said, he wouldn't even have the intention of leaving.
Can……
After all, we have to look forward!
Li Wan restarted the car.
As the last battle of New York Knicks players, here it comes!
The atmosphere in the arena was much more normal. When Li Wan appeared on the stage, there were huge cheers and shouts from the audience. Although they were reluctant, they still hoped to witness Li Wan's fourth time in New York. Hold a cup.
It's better than watching Li Wan win the Thunder's home cup through the screen...
Kevin Durant and the others looked at Li Wan full of desire. After being successfully "brainwashed" by Brooks, they now have one idea, which is to bring the game back to their home court.
That way, even if they lose, they can be regarded as adding a little imperfection to everyone in the New York Knicks!
David Stern also arrived at the scene tonight, watching Li Wan walk on the court, there was some sigh in the depths of his eyes.
Originally, he thought that he would come to the New York Knicks as a spectator to watch the game at home this year, but he didn't expect the "joke" to happen, and he is still the president now.
Had I known that he would not have awarded Li Wan the "goat of the 10s" so soon.
Li Wan, who won the "Three Consecutive Championships", relied more on his continuous publicity and momentum, and the aftermath of "The Night of Becoming a God", which pushed him to that position.
This is just David Stern trying to satisfy his own selfishness:
There are two "gods" in the NBA, one in the "David Stern era" and the other in the "David Stern era".
If it is true, Li Wan, the "four consecutive champions", is more suitable for this position.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being seated earlier, it just so happens that this year's championship will allow Li Wan to sit more firmly in this position.
With this championship, Li Wan has 5 championship trophies, 5 finals MVPs, and 3 regular season MVPs...
In terms of hard statistics, he has already caught up with the top five echelons in the league, and he doesn't even need to consider his age.
If you consider your age...
That's even more terrifying!
Let's put it this way, when Li Wan really wins his fifth "championship" trophy, Michael Jordan's position as the "God of Basketball" will definitely not be so stable anymore.
but……
It is indeed no problem for Li Wan to maintain the current situation and tie the "God of Basketball".
would like to exceed...
That's a bit more difficult!
You must know that the reason why Michael Jordan is a "god" has a lot to do with his off-court influence in addition to his horrific performance and statistics in his 15-year career.
His two retirements have caused a significant decline in the attention of the NBA...
It is no exaggeration to say that in the 90s Michael Jordan was the NBA!
Although countless ratings show that Li Wan's influence in the NBA is getting bigger and bigger, but this is still due to the development of the times, and it is impossible to count it all on him.
Moreover, Michael Jordan also made Wall Street shake up twice. This kind of influence is really not something a basketball player can have!
Especially when Li Wan and Michael Jordan have never really played against each other... Just like in football, Pele is the "king of the ball", Maradona is also the "king of the ball", Messi is still the "king of the ball", There is no unified statement that which one must overwhelm the other end. The main reason is that they have never met on the court.
Therefore, in addition to maintaining his momentum on the court, Li Wan must also have more influence on the court.
From here, we can see how difficult it is to become the "best in history". It's really not just a matter of winning 4 championship trophies and winning a historical scoring champion!
such a pity……
He's leaving New York next...
This makes David - Stern also a bit regretful.
At the same time, I began to think about how to help Li Wan maintain his influence off the court in the new team...
The current form is very clear, Kobe has slipped from his peak, which means that the bright 00s has officially become the past tense, this is a new era, the era of Li Wan.
Since he is still in this position, what else is there to say...
Holding Li Wan is the best choice!
It just so happens that "international players" have become the main theme of "NBA internationalization", which is also a wonderful move for the NBA to continue to expand its influence around the world!
As for how to support it, David Stern really has no idea for the time being, and the main reason is very simple...
He still doesn't know which team Li Wan's next home is!
"beep!"
The referee's whistle interrupted David Stern's thinking.
The fifth game of the finals officially begins!
The New York Knicks successfully seized the initiative, and Li Wan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. When Kevin Durant was in front of him, his pace slowed down a little, but just between him and Kevin Durant When the distance between them got closer, Li Wan suddenly exerted his strength and forcibly broke through.
Kevin Durant reacted, and when he subconsciously exerted his strength, the two had already had a confrontation.
Mindful and careless.
Li Wan pushed Kevin Durant away with one push and went straight to the inside.Ibaka fixed his eyes on Li Wan, and ran with him in a "speed of life and death". In the end, Li Wan was the best and grabbed half of his body. When there was a confrontation in the air, Li Wan's body tilted to the ground. On one side, but his excellent wingspan still allowed him to press the ball into the basket.
"Bah!"
On the first goal of the game, Li Wan forcibly confronted Ibaka and completed a one-armed dunk.
The domineering goal caused the cheers on the scene to shake the sky!
This ball...
Too tough!
day1!
