Chapter 272 Let's Congratulate Li Wan
N years later, when the Spurs fans at the scene recalled this moment, they only had one feeling:
The world has never been so quiet.
They seemed to be able to hear the beating heartbeats of the fans next to them.
The less than two seconds when the ball bounced and fell on the rim, they felt as if a century had passed.
And the moment the ball fell into the basket.
They feel more...
The sky is falling.
A sigh resounded throughout the Spurs home court.
Meanwhile, Kenny Smith shouted excitedly:
"Lore, lore!"
"Li Wan beat the Spurs!"
"OMG!"
"The ball fell into the hoop!"
"McGrady reappears in the NBA all the time, no, now he should be called 'Li Wan Moment'!"
"35 seconds and 12 minutes, a great show in the finals!"
"Li Wan, can you be a little more crazy?"
……
The voice became hoarse as he shouted, the veins on his forehead popped, and Kenny Smith looked like he was crazy.Barkley next to him was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
He slapped the table abruptly, stood up, and began to walk back and forth in the studio "drawing circles". He returned to the microphone a few times without opening his mouth. In the end, it was only left to slap the table, and the continuous "OMG , OMG!"
In the cctv studio, the voice was not so loud. After all, except for Yu Jia, they were all middle-aged and elderly people, and their breathing was not so full, but their sighs one after another were enough to explain their inner excitement at the moment.
After the ball fell into the basket, the big screen was locked on Li Wan's body.
When the ball scored, he raised his hand domineeringly and gestured to his wrist.Express what I want to say in a simple and understandable way:
This is Li Wan's show time!
It's the "Lee Wan moment"!
While he was making this celebration, the New York Knicks rushed in front of him and rushed him.Everyone's expression is deeply shocked...
Li Wan has surprised them too many times, but this time...
Shocked them to a new height!
D'Antoni and Mike Brown looked at each other, and they both saw the same idea from the other's expression:
How can He De be able to coach such a low-key player in this life?
At the same time as Li Wan made the movement of "wearing the watch", resounding slogans sounded one after another in Madison Square Garden thousands of miles away:
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
……
The Spurs fans at the scene have not recovered from their sluggishness.
It's not just them, on the field.
Tim Duncan looked at Li Wan who was surrounded by teammates, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. When he finally realized, he first glanced at the score and then at the time. He couldn't believe it, he Really experienced the "McGrady moment" again, even... still such an arrogant "McGrady moment"!
Tony Parker put his head in his hands in frustration.
Leonard's entire shoulders also drooped, as if he had received a strong blow.
And McGrady on the bench...
One minute he was still happy with the team's advantage, and one minute later, the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness.
God, is this what you give me back?
Give me back a "McGrady moment"?
What kind of "boomerang" is this!
Sure enough, the "debts" I owed when I was young will have to be repaid when I get old!
Can……
McGrady glanced at his knees, he really wanted to ask God, then what do you owe me here, how can you pay it back?
"Coach, what's wrong with you? Coach, coach!"
After being dazed for a long time, someone finally found that Popovich had fallen headfirst to the ground, and hurriedly called the team doctor.In a hurry, Popovich was carried to check...
After the game, Tim Duncan was interviewed. When asked how to evaluate Li Wan's performance in this game, he said helplessly: "What else can I say? This may be why he was able to win the regular season MVP for three consecutive years." Reason!"
After speaking, he sighed a little dejectedly.
For a moment, the reporters could feel that the "No. 21 rookie" suddenly aged 20 years.
There are also many reporters around McGrady.
Li Wan's 35 seconds and 12 minutes are very similar to his 35 seconds and 13 minutes back then. Naturally, I want to interview the "client" of the year and the "victim" tonight.
McGrady's smile was a little bit bitter: "This is the league. Something incredible happens every day. I did it back then, and now it's his turn. This is a fantastic night. His performance deserves any praise!"
Compared with the somewhat dull atmosphere here, the atmosphere of the New York Knicks is much more enthusiastic.
"Does it need to be said? Li Wan is the contemporary Jordan, he is really incredible, with him, until the end of the game, then you will never feel that the game will definitely lose, because...he can do anything Everything is possible!"
Kevin Garnett, who was wearing gauze, blew Li Wan all the way, no, no, if you said he was blowing Li Wan tonight, then he would definitely not agree.
"Li Wan Moment" can be typed out, what else can Li Wan not do?
D'Antoni said: "This is why I will use up the timeout. At the last moment of the game, handing the ball to Li Wan is the best arrangement. The rest is to wait quietly for him to bring back the victory!"
Beverly said: "When you asked me in the last 35 seconds, did I think I lost the game? Haha, not at all, because Li Wan didn't intend to give up at that time, I knew it was not that simple!"
When reporters asked why Li Wan made such a choice for the last shot, he said: "There will always be a night when the basket will be as wide as the sea in your eyes! At the last moment tonight, for me , is such a moment!"
Logged into the "God of Basketball" size, coupled with the blessing of the "Strong Heart" badge and the "Basket Bouncing" badge, Li Wan felt that he was already giving the ball a lot of face if he didn't directly shoot the ball from the backcourt.
Even if it wasn't because this attack was too critical, he might have chosen the "logo three-pointer" instead of this "small logo" three-pointer.
Hey ~
I am good in everything, but I am too stable!
That is to say, these reporters don't know what Li Wan is thinking at the moment, or else their eyes will pop out... Resisting the pick-and-roll, waiting for the final shot at the buzzer, plus the "small logo three-pointer", what do you care? It's called stability, right?
"Congratulations, Li Wan, you once again scored 50 points in a single game in this game. This is the second consecutive time you scored 50 points in the same round of finals. In the history of the NBA, this is the first time anyone Do something like this!"
A reporter mentioned Li Wan's score.
Before the arrival of the "Li Wan Moment", Li Wan's score in this game had reached 40 points, and with the last 4 three-pointers, his total score came to 52 points!
Reached the 50 plus again!
This allowed him to successfully break history. No matter whether it is Michael Jordan or anyone else, he has never scored 50 points twice in the same round of finals.
Li Wan thought for a while and said, "This is normal. At this stage of my career, it's time for me to challenge these records!"
A faint sentence, but full of domineering.
It's just that the reporters in the audience looked at Li Wan without any surprise in their eyes, and they didn't feel that Li Wan's words were pretending, because what he said was indeed the truth.
现在坐在他们面前这个，是四届全明星“票王”、六届全明星、六次“最佳一阵”、五次“最佳防阵”、3届得分王、2届助攻王、2届全明星MVP、3届总冠军、3届常规赛MVP、3届总决赛MVP获得者……
Li Wan!
After winning tonight's game, the Knicks also rewrote the big score of this year's finals to 3-1. It is still one step away from Li Wan's fourth career championship.
It took Li Wancai 6 years of career to achieve his current achievement.
If he really wins the championship this year, even if Li Wan retires on the spot, he will be one of the top 5 players in history.
Such a guy has a few "historical first" records, which is indeed normal!
While he was still being interviewed, the Internet had exploded. For this era of more and more developed Internet media, even if there is no 40 minutes after the end of the game, it is enough to let the fans know that what happened in San Antonio tonight whats the matter!
What's more, there are so many fans who pay attention to this game.
It didn't take 40 minutes at all. When Li Wan started to hit the first three-point goal of "Li Wan Moment", there were already discussions on the Internet.
As Li Wan scored goals one after another, when the "Li Wan Moment" really hit, all the discussions about basketball on the Internet became discussions about the "Li Wan Moment".
No way, this is so exciting!
Just look at how shocked the entire league was after the "McGrady moment" happened that year.
But now the "Li Wan Moment" is much better than the "McGrady Moment".
Just happening in the finals is enough to kill the "McGrady moment" in seconds.
Not to mention, the arrogance and absolute self-confidence shown by Li Wan's ultimate "pretending art" at the end is a scene of the "famous painting" level in NBA history.
In addition, in this game, Li Wan finally scored 50 points in a single game and sent Popovich to the emergency room of the hospital...
In short, the "McGrady Moment" is bad!
It's "Lee Wan Moment"!
The discussion was so loud that Kevin Durant soon found out about this matter, as before, it was a private message sent to him by a lovely "twitter friend".
Kevin Durant, who was imagining what her bath water would taste like in front of Scarlett's photo, felt that "widow" was not good after watching the video.
I took the basketball to the basketball gym closest to home overnight.
On the way there, Kevin Durant recalled that in the video, Li Wan scored one goal after another, especially the last direct shot after refusing the pick-and-roll. To be honest, he could feel Leon even through the screen. Nader's despair, he couldn't help shouting: "What kind of monster is this, ugh!"
At the same time, Kobe also saw the news of Li Wan's "Li Wan Moment". When he saw Leonard's desperate expression, he suddenly thought of some good performances when this kid was defending him.
This is definitely not a guy who will be easily destroyed.
But at this moment, she was trained by Li Wan to become like this...
"Dangdangdangdang..."
The alarm in the living room suddenly rang at this moment.
It's 12 o'clock...
This is the "healing time" deliberately set by Corbett.
As he gets older and older, he gradually feels powerless in many things. Therefore, recently, every time at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Kobe will allow himself some fragile thoughts. A few muffled thoughts arose:
I might never have a chance to beat this little bitch again, right?
Being arrogant, he usually wouldn't admit this even if it was "healing time", but in this year's finals, as Li Wan played one game after another with extremely dominating performances, he knew very well that this kid's The peak period has officially arrived.
This guy has just entered the peak period, but he is about to completely fall from the peak period...
It is not surprising that some depressing thoughts arise.
Normally, he might immediately correct the depressed thoughts in his mind and cheer up, but now is the "healing time", Kobe did not immediately kill this idea, but thought about it seriously, if he really had no chance After defeating Li Wan, then...
"Vanessa? Are you asleep?"
About 10 minutes later, Kobe got up with an idea and ran towards the bedroom.Vanessa, who was awakened by him, rolled her eyes, sighed sleepily, and opened the bedside table, which was full of New York Knicks No. 25.
Just about to put it on, Kobe stopped her and said excitedly: "Vanessa, let's try, let's have a boy!"
"Huh?" Vanessa froze for a moment.
But Kobe began to undress, his eyes were full of light, just like an owl in the middle of the night.
hum!
I may not be able to beat you, but my son will beat your son and avenge me!
what?
My son can't beat Li Wan's son?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The son trained by my "Black Mamba" is invincible!
While there was a lot of discussion abroad, the domestic basketball news was once again swiped by Li Wan.
The "Li Wan Moment" stunned the foreign fans, and also stunned the domestic "Wan Jiajun". "!"
"To be honest, before Wan Ge took the first three-point shot, I knew there would be a big commotion this time. At that time, the big screen flashed by, but I saw Wan Ge smiling towards the Spurs bench. Just a moment, but the camera didn't capture it, and I knew it at the time, it's safe!"
"I saw it too, I saw it too, and the first thing I thought of was McGrady pointing at the camera before playing 'McGrady Moment'!"
"Brother Wan's smile, you don't look too handsome! I watched it on the computer, and there was no one at home, so it was fine at that time!"
……
Many domestic fans noticed Li Wan's "abnormality" at that time.
And Li Wan's smile towards the Spurs' bench aroused heated discussions in the United States the next day.
However, it is different from domestic ones.
Domestic fans discovered this because of their Leeuwenhoek-level meticulous observation skills, while overseas fans because the reporter who took this photo on the sidelines at the time posted the photo...
Just looking at the photos, you can feel the confidence in Li Wan's smile.
And after he successfully played "Li Wan's Moment", in the eyes of many netizens, this smile is a bit more "emperor-like calm and domineering".
"LeBron James don't call him King, give King to Li Wan, look at how calm he is at the critical moment, this is the real 'king of the world'!"
This comment can be seen everywhere under the comment about Li Wan's photo.
Kenny Smith said: "All greatness is foreshadowed, just like McGrady pointed at the camera confidently before finishing that great performance... I would like to believe that at that moment, God put on New York No. 25 jersey!"
Bill Walton said: "This will definitely be one of the most classic photos in the NBA, and it will also be one of the greatest shots in the NBA Finals! I believe that in n years, this smile of Li Wan will be the same as Michael's. -Jordan's last shot, just as famous!"
The New York media quoted Bill Wharton's evaluation of Li Wan, and on this basis, he also carried out infinite heightening and expansion.
On the morning of the second day of the game, Knicks fans bought the largest advertising wall in Times Square in downtown New York City, and played "Li Wan's Moment" continuously, while in Madison Square Garden, " Li Wan's Smile" was also made into a huge poster and pasted on the advertising wall of Madison Square.
For a time, Li Wan and the "Li Wan Moment" seemed to have become the spiritual belief of the city.
A TNT commentator couldn't help but sighed on Twitter: It's hard to imagine what kind of impact it will have on the city if Li Wan leaves New York.
At first he just wanted to lament Li Wan's influence on New York.
But the result...
The call was sent in the morning, but the person was fired by TNT in the afternoon.
Because in just one morning, the mailbox of TNT headquarters was flooded with complaint letters.
Full of angry warning letters from New York fans.
In order to appease the public's anger, TNT had no choice but to cut him off to appease the anger of these New York lunatics.
Li Wan, who returned to New York overnight, woke up at 10 o'clock the next morning. When he opened his phone, there were all missed calls and congratulatory text messages. Among them, Taylor had the most. She had seven or eight missed calls and more than a dozen text messages. From the content of the message she sent, it can be seen how excited she is.
Li Wanxian called her back.
But the latter should be filming an MV, so after the call was connected, he only said a few words, then said "I'll get back to you later", and hung up.Li Wan didn't care. Taylor was in Hawaii filming a new MV recently, and he was really busy. It's great that he can get through the phone.
"This one or this one? Li Zi, which one do you think your brother will like, I sent you the photo, please help me see."
Taylor is indeed a bit busy at the moment, however, he is not busy filming the MV, but choosing an engagement ring there.
Li Wan worked so hard in the first two games. At that time, she had the idea of proposing marriage without winning the championship. Seeing the "Li Wan Moment" in the morning, especially his smile before the "Li Wan Moment", Taylor was even more excited. No more hesitation, what is Li Wan working so hard for?
Isn't it just to fulfill the promise?
Since he has run so desperately for 99 steps now, I can't watch him there for the remaining one step!
What goes in both directions is called "love"!
This marriage, she made a decision, and even Jesus couldn't stop what she said!
The discussion continued for a whole day.
Amidst the discussions, all members of the Spurs team, once again reduced to the "background board", officially arrived in New York.
Popovich is not with the team and is still receiving treatment in San Antonio, making this Spurs a bit shaky.
Leonard's sullen look caught Tim Duncan's attention.At the end of the day's training, when he left, he was side by side with Leonard, put his hand on the latter's shoulder, and gently squeezed twice.
Leonard turned to look at him, only to find Tim Duncan looking at him.
deadpan...
Just like Leonard's expression at this moment:
He was equally deadpan.
"Man, this is the NBA! Growing up through failure is the only way for everyone!" Tim Duncan patted him on the shoulder after finishing speaking.
In Leonard's eyes, there was thought.
Tim Duncan continued: "Remember, you are only 22 years old. For your age, this road has gone very smoothly..."
Maddie just passed by him.
The voice of "Stone Buddha" suddenly became lower: "Your current height is already a height that some players can only reach in their careers of more than ten years. People can't just look up, it will only make you more and more discouraged. You should look down properly. Or look in front of you..."
He pointed to McGrady who was at the front.When he said look forward, he was looking at McGrady.
"You will have enough self-confidence to accept any failures and succeed!"
After saying this, Tim Duncan didn't say anything else. He just patted Leonard on the shoulder twice quickly, then stood up straight again, and chased after the players in front of him.
Leonard looked at his back, and the frustration in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Even the discussion about the "Li Wan Moment" has been going on, and when he sees the relevant news and sees his helpless expression, the disturbance in his heart can be almost ignored...
This discussion lasted for a long time. After all, Li Wan's performance was too crazy, and it was 50 plus in a single game, and it was "Li Wan's moment". This has been blown for at least three years!
On June 6, after a day of rest, New York fans were looking forward to the fifth game of the Finals.
That morning, Li Wan was driving to Madison Square Garden, and he could already feel the atmosphere of winning the championship along the way.New York fans open the champagne early again.
Let me tell you...
Is Li Wan unsteady?
He managed to save some of his character, and all these New York fans gave him "hohohoh" away.
And as the game approached, even Madison Square Garden became more like a "championship parade".
All kinds of "three in a row" banners can be seen everywhere!
The appearance of ostentatiously passing through the market seems to make people see that the reminder of character minus 1, minus 1, minus 1 keeps popping up...
Needless to say, the Madison Garden players were overwhelmed by fans tonight.
At the same time, the auditorium on the sidelines tonight will be more star-studded than usual.
In addition to various big names, David Stern was also among them. When Li Wan saw him, he nodded to Li Wan with a smile.
Jie frightened Li Wan, and quickly looked away...
Misunderstood ha!
It's all a misunderstanding!
This is not a secret code, this is polite!
There is no py deal between me and David Stern. Even if we win this game tonight, it will be "fair, just and open"!
WTF, what kind of plane are you doing, uncle!
Li Wanshi was startled by David Stern's proactive greeting.
During the finals, you and I engaged in this kind of "nodding acquaintance", did you want to come up with some lace news?
President of the dignified alliance, can you pay attention to your identity?
You are shameless, I still want fame!
Li Wan is not so-and-so, who wears the title of "the godson of the alliance" all day long, and can happily call himself "the number one in history"...
No wonder David Stern is so eager!
"Li Wan Moment", plus the 50 points in the second game of the finals...
The big news that Li Wan just made really made his performance in this finals reach the level of "apotheosis". Combined with his previous two games, one scored 50 points and one assist broke Breaking "Magic" Johnson's single-game record in the NBA Finals...
David Stern's next operation will be justified!
All he has to do now is to wait, to wait for Li Wan to win this year's championship!
This excitement made him forget when he saw Li Wan. This was the beginning of the fifth match of the finals, not the final result...
Hey ~
I didn't expect it either!
After so many years of ups and downs in this alliance, in the end, Li Wan actually "broken his defense" again!
but……
Think about Li Wan's drive, the NBA's recent soaring influence and market value, as well as the discussion on Twitter...
David Stern is very clear that he will "exit" with great glory!
If Jordan wasn't for that "last shot", would he be so legendary?
Can his history be so unshakable?
Obviously not.
It's the same now. David Stern, who produced a Michael Jordan, is already legendary enough. What if another Li Wan is produced?
Even if the NBA plays for another 3 years, the title of "the strongest president" will probably be worn on David Stern's head forever.
Li Wan just doesn't know what David Stern is thinking, otherwise he would definitely say: Even without me, you are still the best president in the league, you don't know how ridiculous your successor's joke is ah!
In addition to David Stern and various celebrities, Greg Oden and Mike Conley also came to the scene.
Although they turned off their mobile phones the night before yesterday and yesterday morning, they must come to witness Li Wan's legendary moment tonight. After all, this is Li Wan's first "three consecutive championships" in his career. To win this championship, he The five flags will be planted directly in front of the President's Hill. If you don't come at this time, it's really not interesting...
"Hey, bro, come to see me holding a cup again after you don't catch any fish?"
However, when Li Wan ran up to the two of them and greeted them with a smile, they suddenly felt that being uninteresting didn't seem like a big deal!
Such a night naturally cannot do without Taylor, she hurried back from Hawaii before she finished filming the MV...
What is worth mentioning is that Yingying Yanyan, who likes Li Wan and has an affair with Li Wan, also came to the scene tonight, and Jenna was sitting next to her, next to her own sister , but at the moment Taylor was extraordinarily calm, looking at this group of people as if he was looking at a group of mistresses.
As long as I'm here, they won't be able to take their place after all!
Taylor, who is about to start working with a certificate, is more confident.
Feeling these expectant gazes, Li Wan felt a little nervous for a long time.
If you ask him if he can win the championship, he can definitely tell you with confidence:
Just kidding, how could it not be taken down!
With a big score of 3-1, Li Wan looked at David Stern's intimacy and eagerness to pounce on him for a kiss. Li Wan was extremely confident that the championship trophy was right in front of him, and he could definitely win it.
only……
Whether it can be taken down tonight is not certain.
He has the determination and fighting spirit to win the championship trophy, but he can analyze the Spurs from an objective point of view. These guys are too stable and have experienced too many storms. The big score of 3 to 1 will certainly have an impact on their mentality. , but it is absolutely impossible for them to collapse directly.
Even if Li Wan just played "Li Wan Moment".
Here's what he knows about Tim Duncan.
The good news is that Popovich is not on the sidelines tonight. He fell down in a hurry at the end of the last game. After the game, he went for a checkup. The whole situation was not very stable. The doctor suggested that he be hospitalized for checkups. In the end, he also Take doctor's advice.
No way, the Spurs on the cliff are important, but life is greater than basketball. At his age, he absolutely cannot fight against his body.
This is also the reason why so many celebrities gathered together tonight, waiting for Li Wan to hold the cup.
Li Wan's state accounted for 7%, and Popovich's absence accounted for 3%...
Isn't this a [-]% certainty?
Knicks Championship!
Ok……
That's why New York fans are so pissed off.
Amidst the anticipation, the game time officially arrived.
The lineups on both sides are the same as in the previous game, without any changes.
For the New York Knicks, there are Beverly at No. [-], Ray Allen at No. [-], Li Wan at No. [-], Kevin Garnett at No. [-], and Tyson Chandler at No. [-];
The Spurs still have Tony Parker at No. [-], Afflalo at No. [-], Leonard at No. [-], Tim Duncan at No. [-], and Splitter at No. [-];
Stepping onto the stage, Li Wan saw another favorable situation.
The Knicks are all excited, and everyone is eager to try. Compared with them, the momentum of the Spurs is a bit low.
The completely different momentum also allowed the New York Knicks to successfully grab the initiative.
Li Wan saw everyone's momentum, so he didn't hesitate immediately, and called Leonard "Military Training", planning to use Leonard's frustrated expression to cheer everyone up.
At this point in the game, Li Wan was already very familiar with Leonard's defense, so after his teammates opened up the space, he shook Leonard's center of gravity very smoothly, and then made a big change of direction in front of his body, A bit similar to "Hardaway's change of direction", he successfully completed a breakthrough and a one-arm dunk under the basket, which caused huge cheers from the audience.
2-0!
To Li Wan's surprise, Leonard's face didn't show obvious frustration like in the previous two games, but he ran towards the frontcourt expressionlessly, ready to devote himself to the Spurs' next game. Attacking.
Such a "facial paralysis" reaction...
Let Li Wan vaguely see the shadow of the "Stone Buddha".
Is this the "Li Wan Moment" for him to evolve?
Tim Duncan also noticed the change in Leonard. Although there was no reaction on his face, his slight nod still showed his approval of Leonard.
Just a few words can make such a big change, a child can be taught, a child can be taught!
perhaps……
Maybe he can really become the "Successor of Stone Buddha"!
Although Leonard has been improving, in Tim Duncan's view, this improvement is the most commendable!
You know, what he experienced was that Li Wan scored 50 points in a single game for two consecutive games above his head.
For a young man who has received various awards before the finals, this is definitely a devastating blow. Many young people who are slowly showing their talents regressed because of too many setbacks in a round of the series. In the end, he died for everyone.
Just like Travis Outlaw, the first-round pick selected by the Trail Blazers in 03, averaged 08 points per game on the bench in the 09-12.4 season, becoming a "dark horse". However, he met the Rockets in the playoffs Battier and Artest's flanks made Battier and Artest play numbly. Since then, he has been out of shape, and his scoring average has never exceeded double digits. He played in the league for three or four seasons and then faded out of the league.
Leonard received much more attention than him, and was obviously beaten harder than him. He changed his mentality so quickly... Even though Tim Duncan and him were teammates, it was still surprising.
Ruzi can be taught, Ruzi can be taught!
Li Wan's successful dunk made the New York Knicks teammates even more excited, but Tim Duncan once again showed his "immobility as a mountain", leading the Spurs to resist tenaciously again and again.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 32-29.
The Spurs trailed by just 3 points.
It can be seen that after the adjustment from the home court and won the first victory of the series, all the Spurs found their state in the Western Conference Finals.At the same time, they showed the calmness that only belongs to the Spurs.
Even when they are 1-3 behind by a big score, they can still stabilize their mentality and play against the Knicks.
However, as the game continued, Li Wan turned on the "nervous knife", and when he continued to score unreasonable goals during this period, the impact of Popovich's absence was immediately revealed.
Speaking of tonight, the assistant coach Mike Budenholzer who stood on the sidelines instead of Popovich will leave the Spurs this summer, join the Eagles, and start his coaching career. "The Eagles, and later coached Antetokounmpo in the Bucks to win the championship and became a "champion coach" level coach.
But now he has not started his career as a head coach after all. He is mainly responsible for the team defense in the Spurs, and this is his instinctive reaction when he sees Li Wan "running away":
Want to limit Li Wan through defense!
This made the Spurs miss the opportunity to continue to bite the score.
Even though they played Budenholzer's defensive arrangement according to Budenholzer's request, they couldn't limit Li Wan's scoring.
At the end of the first half, the New York Knicks successfully opened up double-digit scores.
Li Wan scored 6 points in the first quarter, scored 13 points in the second quarter, and scored a total of 19 points in the first half, helping the New York Knicks end the first half with a 59-48 lead.
When the New York Knicks left the field, the auditorium was extremely excited. Looking at the expressions of these New Yorkers, it can be seen that they are already waiting for the moment when David Stern and Li Wan will present the championship up.
The Spurs did not give up, and they still played their resilience in the second half, once reducing the score to 8 points.
It's just that the wave of scoring from the New York Knicks in the first half allowed D'Antoni to find the weakest part of his opponent tonight.After he and Mike Brown won two championship trophies, they are no longer the kind of "best head coach" who have never seen the world. They have formulated targeted countermeasures to keep the Knicks players on the court. Adjust the offensive and defensive tempo, forcing the Spurs to react at the same time...
Yes, in their view, the weak point of the Spurs tonight lies in their coaching staff.
If Popovich is on the sidelines, no matter how D'Antoni changes or changes the rhythm, the effect will not be obvious, but tonight is Budenholzer, and soon his change can only be made by D'Antoni. And Brown led the way.
The future "champion coach" is 44 years old this year, standing on the sidelines, being pulled numb by D'Antoni and Mike Brown.
After the third quarter, the score was 78 to 63, and the point difference has come to 15 points.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
Shouts are already coming from eager New York fans.
In the auditorium on the sidelines, although Taylor didn't shout together, the hands holding her elbows unconsciously exerted strength, and her whole body trembled slightly, which was enough to show that she was not not excited at the moment, but was just suppressing the excitement.
To say that the Spurs are indeed resilient enough.
Generally, by this time, there will be some ups and downs.
For example, when they played against the Thunder last season, by the end of the game, the "Thunder Four" had no intention of resisting.Disarmed and surrendered early.
After the Spurs came up in the fourth quarter, they still showed their resilience and launched a wave of counterattacks.But the New York Knicks withstood the counterattack.
At 8 minutes and 34 seconds of the fourth quarter, as Li Wan scored the iconic mid-range, the New York Knicks once again opened the score to more than 14 points.
The Spurs, who have been gritting their teeth, are now showing signs of decay...
"The Spurs are no longer playing! It seems that there are no surprises in this game. We can congratulate Li Wan in advance for winning three consecutive championships..."
In the cctv5 studio, Director Zhang heaved a sigh of relief as he watched a few fringe players walk out of the Spurs bench, and congratulated him in advance.
Madison Square at the scene also burst into bursts of cheers, and gradually, the entire venue was drowned in cheers.
Especially when the game time falls below the last minute, the scene can be described as "the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers".
New York's fifth championship and the first "three consecutive championships" in team history are just around the corner. No matter how calm New York fans are, they can't wait to put a horn in their throats at this moment.
They want the world to hear the voice of New York.
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
In the last 30 seconds, unified shouts sounded again, but this time it was not "MVP" or "King of New York", but Li Wan's name.
Although the "King of New York" and "MVP" are exclusive to Li Wan, at this moment, New York fans want everyone to know that the "King of New York", the person who started the "New York Era", is called Li Wan!
"beep!"
And amidst the deafening cheers, the final whistle that symbolized the end of the game sounded. In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith yelled out the words that had been held in his heart for a long time:
"Dear audience friends, we are witnessing a historic moment..."
"Let's congratulate Li Wan and the New York Knicks for winning tonight and the championship this season. This is Li Wan's third consecutive championship with the New York Knicks!"
Since 00~02, in 11 years, another dynasty...
It is coming!
