Chapter 231 "Christmas War", Sao Nian, you are playing with fire
12 month 23 day.
The New York Knicks ushered in the last game before the "Christmas Game".
The opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies.
After completing the "Black Eight" in the playoffs last season, they ushered in a transformation this season, but because this season's East and West are too powerful, so many to the point of magic, they are only ranked fifth in the West.
Originally this season, the Grizzlies reached fourth in the regular season.
Currently ranked ahead of them are:
Spurs, Lakers, Thunder and Clippers!
Look at the names of these teams and think about the players on these teams...
It doesn't seem like a bad thing for the Grizzlies to rank fifth!
What kind of "fairy bureau" is that?
No shame in being behind them!
What's more, when these teams meet the Grizzlies, they will also feel their bones are weak.After all, the name of the "Western Meat Grinder" is not for nothing. Any team that meets the Grizzlies will lose its skin even if it does not die.
So far, the "fairy teams" who lost to the Grizzlies are the Spurs and the Nets.
As for the Heat and the Lakers who won them, the next game against other teams ended in defeat!
"Under the immortal, I am invincible, and above the immortal, I am invincible"...
This sentence can't be more appropriate to describe this Grizzlies team!
The Knicks also feel stupid about this team. D'Antoni thought for a long time and felt that this was a hard fight, even if it was a hard fight...
He doubled down on the Knicks' record in December.
Since losing to the Clippers, they have won another wave of winning streak, and it is almost Christmas, and the Knicks have not lost yet.
In this case……
Then this bitter battle will not be fought!
Cook has performed well recently, and this is another "Ohio Brothers" civil war. D'Antoni simply rested Ray Allen and pushed Cook into the starting second position.
When Cook heard D'Antoni's arrangement, his whole face was full of astonishment.
no……
Did happiness come so suddenly? !
He thought it was a dream until the game started the next day.
After all, he hasn't started since his rookie season.
The huge cheers at the scene made him sure that this was really...
Not a dream!
The excitement made him want to go big.
It's just that he soon discovered that he couldn't seem to play this "high-end game".
The Grizzlies' starting lineup for the new season has changed. They put OJ-Mayo, the "Jordan-Kobe combination" who Chris Wallace believes is more talented than Li Wan, to the bench. ——It took Mayo three seasons to prove that he is indeed "the combination of Jordan and Kobe". However, it has to be in the low-end game. The level of the NBA is a bit high. When the opponent is getting more and more accustomed to his style of play , His efficiency on the offensive end is even more sluggish.
The current lineup of the Grizzlies actually does not lack ball handlers and scorers. Whether it is Mike Conley or Rudy Gay, they all have the ability to play with the ball.
Tony Allen is officially in the Grizzlies' starting lineup...
The Grizzlies in the "Black and White Bears" era ushered in their strongest lineup.
Whether facing Rudy Gay or Tony Allen, he couldn't shoot so freely.Especially Tony Allen, who now has a "Kobe Terminator" on his head, and Kobe himself admitted that "his defense is the most stressful to me", has become a nightmare for all outside players.
It wasn't until Li Wan succeeded in consecutive singles against Mike Conley that the defender in front of Cook became Mike Conley.
Anyway, the one who saves the brother has to be the brother!
Cook didn't just say this to Li Wan.
If it weren't for Li Wan's singles ability, the Grizzlies would not have changed.
but……
It was also Mike Conley who defended in front of Cook.
Just let him hit the first three-pointer of the game!
One makes him less stressed, and the other makes him less stressed...
Really, it's so hard to choose!
However, if you ask Cook, Li Wan and Conley fell into the water at the same time, who do you save, he will definitely give the answer without hesitation:
Li Wan!
Then let Conley grab Li Wan's leg and pull him up together...
What, you said that Cook was hinting to Conley to hug Li Wan's thigh too?
Don't make trouble!
I don't mean that~
Mike Conley had that beeping dog look on his face.
He had been slapped all over the face by Li Wan just now.
The face is not dry yet!
Cook gave him another face*!
This is so...
Is Lao Tzu filming the theme of nren beheading?
Do not!
Conley feels that he is still a little bit harder.
At any rate, they still have the director shouting "click"!
The head coach on his side couldn't bear to call a timeout.
Just put your hands in your pockets and watch from the sidelines, confirming that sentence:
I had my hands in my pockets that year and didn't know what my players were being abused.
On the defensive end, it's okay to let these two hangers target them like this.
On the offensive end, Li Wan and Cook also stared at him. It was not until the end of the first quarter that Conley scored his first 2 points of the game.Then he waited until the first half was almost over before he scored the second goal of the half game...
8 of 2 shots!
And this is not just a halftime situation. In the second half, Mike Conley still lost himself in the targeted defense of Li Wan and Cook.
To say that these two people know him enough!
Let the two of them join forces, Mike Conley twists his ass, and they know, cover your nose, this is a loud and smelly "loud fart"!
92:87.
The Grizzlies finally won the game by 5 points.
It's just that Conley, who won the game, was not happy. He only scored 13 points and shot 33.3% from the field, and was blocked by Cook and Li Wan respectively.
But that's not the most important...
"Please, please!"
Cook rushed to Conley as soon as the game ended.
The night before the game, the three of them met for dinner.Hearing that Cook was also in the starting lineup, Conley proposed at the time to take a gamble:
"Tomorrow, the one with the lowest field goal percentage will be treated to dinner!"
Now the game is over, although Cook's score is not as high as Mike Conley, he only scored 11 points, but his shooting percentage reached 40%!
Not to mention Li Wan's shooting percentage...
Even against the "Kobe Terminator" and Rudy Gay...
He also shot 50% from the field!
Lower than usual, but much higher than Conley's.
Conley really wanted to ask, "Is it cheap!"
Just for a meal, when two people are defending, they target him like this!
However, what frustrates him even more is...
Cook took a total of 10 shots in this game, 3 of which were scored against him, which is equivalent to saying...
The 40% shooting percentage is basically fed by him!
What a surprise!
Blue skinny mushrooms!
Fortunately, at least the game was won.
Mike Conley said: "This is what you pay for me, hehe~"
The laughter is very annoying, he did it on purpose!
However, at this time, he found that Li Wan and Cook were also laughing:
whee!
"???"
Conley slowly picked out 3 question marks.
This is also the last game of the Grizzlies before Christmas, so the team has an early holiday. Many players have stayed in New York, and some of them have family members in New York.
Conley stayed, too. His wife and kids are in Memphis, but he had to keep his promise.
When Conley checked out at the bar with a five-figure bill in the middle of the night, he knew what Li Wan and Cook were laughing at!
These two hangers!
"Anyway... I won the game!"
Conley comforted himself in a low voice as he signed the bill.
When I left the bar, it was already December 12th, which was Christmas Eve. As usual, there was a lot of snow in New York, but Mike Conley always felt that the snow was heavier than before.
At the same time, an inexplicable and bleak BGM appeared in his mind: snowflakes fluttering, north wind rustling...
In the morning, NIKE specially sent someone to deliver the "Christmas War Special Edition Signature Shoes" to Li Wan.
It is worth mentioning that Nike has always wanted Li Wan to release a "Christmas limited edition", but Li Wan refused, so until now, there are only three "signature shoes" of Li Wan.
This year, the Nike representative also asked Li Wan for his opinion. After getting the same answer as before, his answer surprised Li Wan: "Dude, we will design a special edition signature shoe for Christmas Wars for you. However, this pair We will not mass-produce the shoes, even if they are limited editions, we don’t plan to release them, there is only one pair in the world!”
Hearing this, Li Wan was taken aback for a moment.
This is the only pair in the world...
Implication:
Boss, we're sending you money!
After all, there are countless examples of limited-edition shoes sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Li Wan himself can also bring added value to the shoes. A pair of the world's only "Li Wan signature shoes" should sell for 70 million dollars, which should not be a problem.
After Li Wan received the shoes, he took a special look at them. He was very considerate. He didn't just change the leather with "Li Wan's third-generation signature shoes", but specifically redesigned the entire shoe.
The "snowflake" symbolizing Christmas is decorated as a whole, whether it is No. 25 representing Li Wan or the 19th pick in the first round, they are all marked by snowflakes.
At first glance, the whole shoe has no design, but if you look carefully, you will find that it is full of small details.
In short, two words describe it:
Pull the wind!
Taylor's eyes lit up when he saw the shoes.Although he didn't say anything, he actually said everything:
want~
Li Wan asked Tai Lun to call at that time.
Early the next morning, Taylor, who learned the "thickening" technique from Li Wan until midnight, just woke up when he saw the same style of "Li Wan Christmas Limited Edition" women's shoes on the table.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the numbers formed by snowflakes on these shoes are not the 25th, 19th, etc. related to Li Wan, but other numbers...
When Taylor saw the most obvious number, he thought, isn't this the number of Grammys I have?
Looking at other numbers, Taylor found his birthday and debut date...
But apart from these numbers, she also had several numbers that she didn't know what they meant, so she searched online and found out:
"Have I posted so many songs already?"
"Oh, this is the total sales of my albums?"
"This... is the number of days I have known Li Wan..."
……
When Taylor checked all the numbers, she immediately had a special feeling:
Isn't this my "natal shoe"!
Li Wan also woke up at this time, Taylor shook the shoes happily, she liked it very much!
But she has a question:
Nike is too kind to Li Wan, right?
If these two pairs of shoes, Li Wan and Taylor, were to be sold together, the influence of the two of them in their respective fields might not even be worth $200 million.
So rushing to send money...
Especially a big factory like Nike!
Li Wan told her: "When you are in the contract year, you can do whatever you want!"
200 million knives may seem like a lot, but if compared with the contract price given by Li Wan for the next contract extension, this 200 million knives is nothing.
even……
It can't be counted as money!
Anyway, no matter who it is, they don't think that if the Knicks and Li Wan can't agree on the final price, it will be because of $2 million...
On December 12th, it officially arrived.
New York, which was already very lively, became more and more lively on this day, with wave after wave of popularity on the street, and all religions celebrated the arrival of Christmas in their own ways.
Add some gunshot accompaniment from time to time...
The "breath of freedom" unique to American fills the streets and alleys.
Madison Square tonight can be described as "crowded".
The ancient Madison Square has existed for a long time. Although it has been expanded twice, it can only accommodate more than 1 fans, but tonight it temporarily increased to 8 seats.
It made the whole venue look "black and oppressive".
However, the congestion in the back row does not affect the "starlight" in the front row.
It was another year of "competition for beauty". Taylor Swift became the focus of tonight by virtue of the "same style couple shoes" with Li Wan.
Kylie Jenner has also gotten close-up shots many times because of this.
She's sitting next to Taylor Swift tonight.
Since the two reached a cooperation, they have been going out and going together recently, making hot news frequently.
Build momentum for their products. ——Like tonight, the big red lips on the two people's mouths, the manicures on their hands, and some small decorations on their wrists are all new products they launched this season.
When Li Wan came on stage, he showed them another wave of shots.The live dj played "Black Cat" very appropriately.
Seeing his relaxed appearance, "Black Mamba" was furious...
Doesn't this guy know what I said before the game?
Before the game started, Corbett emphasized: "This is a war! We want revenge, and this is the beginning..."
With just this one sentence, the smell of gunpowder in this game immediately became stronger.
But now Kobe looks at Li Wan like this, as if...
This is him...
One man's war?
Hemp egg!
A well-known thing, Kobe is narrow-minded, let him hold a grudge, and understand everything!
He has already decided that when the competition starts, he will give Li Wan a blow!
Ok……
"Ha, haha, hahaha, Lin, can you see if I hang up!"
In the warm-up half of the Lakers, Nick Young made a hook from outside the three-point line, hooked the ball into the basket, and immediately yelled at Jamie Lin next to him.
Jeremy Lin "uh" for a long time, suddenly noticed a strong line of sight, and quickly signaled to Nick Young to stop playing.
But Nick Young, who was in high spirits, couldn't understand his movements at all. Instead, he said: "You have one, Lin, you have one too, and I'll see if you hang it!"
Just after he finished speaking, he shivered suddenly.
Why is it suddenly a little cold!
Is the air conditioner in this arena turned on a bit...
Nick Young turned his head to look for the air outlet, only to find that Kobe was looking straight at him, with a face full of "Come on, come on again, let me see if you hang!"
In just one second, "Shaoxia Yang" became honest...
He also understood why he felt cold.
Having been with Kobe for so long, the nervous Nick Young gradually realized how paranoid and terrifying his new boss Kobe is!
However, he also has dreams, and he is eager to be recognized by Kobe!
Don't forget, when he first came to the Lakers, Kobe had great expectations for him!
Now he...
Waiting for a chance to prove yourself!
Before the start of the game, Li Wan chatted with Yi Jianlian for a few more words, but because Kobe's gunpowder smell was too strong, the chat between the two lasted less than 10 seconds and ended.
Ah Lian said in a low voice in Chinese:
Wow, brother, Kobe's character...
He hesitated to speak, it seemed that he hadn't finished, but he said everything!
Li Wan was a little surprised, because Ah Lian is a hard-working and self-disciplined player, so he should be loved by Kobe, no matter what...
Are you complaining?
But thinking about how Kobe did everything possible to set him up and repeatedly made him "forced" to watch Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning, Li Wan figured it out immediately:
Kobe's love seems to be even more painful!
"beep!"
The referee's whistle aroused the excitement of all the New Yorkers. The game hadn't even started yet, but the shouts of "Li Wan, Li Wan" had already been heard one after another.
Kylie Jenner looked at the pious New York fans in the auditorium, and was also slightly taken aback.
Although she knew that Li Wan was the "King of New York", she knew very well how arrogant New Yorkers really are. She doesn't really watch football, but she really didn't expect to see a different side of New Yorkers here...
On the field, Pau Gasol helped the team grab the initiative.
Holding back all his strength, he wanted to give Li Wan a "smackdown", reminding him that this was a war, Kobe asked for the ball without hesitation, faced Artest, and pushed up sideways.
"The Beast" thought he was going to hit back, so he simply took another step back.
But at this moment, Kobe suddenly turned forward, using his footsteps to directly form a dislocation, and then left Artest behind him with a step.
Artest's reaction was not slow, but his body really couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
I could only watch Kobe squeeze past him.
"Bah!"
Kobe, who rushed to the basket, made a one-handed "violent split" and smashed the ball into the basket.
2-0!
All the New York fans were stunned by the smash.
"OMG, you hit so hard right from the start?"
Kenny Smith's eyes widened, and he really wanted to ask: Kobe...
Did you take gunpowder?
Is this "Christmas War" so fierce from the start?
When the "Black Mamba" came off the basket, he took a special look at Li Wan, hoping to see the seriousness on this guy's face.He believes that this dunk will make him realize how much he values this game.
The result is...
"Kobe, you're still old after all!"
"That's it" on Li Wanyi's face?
Looking at the heavy ball, there is still a long distance between the shoulders and the basket, and the movements are not stretched enough.
Of course, Li Wan understood very well that Kobe was catching the ball with one hand. With such a small hand, he "draws the bow fully", and the ball is easily released.It is not easy to accomplish this!
You can't ask Kobe, the "slam dunk king" by the standards of most "slam dunk kings"!
In addition, at the age of 33, Kobe, who is about to turn 34, also has traces of the arrival of the "old man of the age". The whole momentum is obviously not as strong as it was in 10 years!
If Kobe was ten years ago, among other things, Tyson Chandler would have seen the "explosive head" wearing the Lakers No. 8 jersey flying past him before he could react...
Li Wan immediately looked for an opportunity to respond to Kobe's dunk.
When Tyson Chandler stepped forward to help him block a chance to go to the basket, but Bynum failed to intercept it immediately, seeing the space in front of him, Li Wan knew that the opportunity...
Here comes it!
He accelerated immediately, changed direction with one body forward, avoided Kobe's defense interference, and rushed to the basket from the other side, while exerting force on both legs.
Bynum tried to jump up to intercept, but when he jumped up and landed again, he realized that Li Wan actually...
still floating in the air...
This is……
Bought a house on the basket?
Subconsciously shrugging his shoulders and holding his head, Li Wan's whole body in the air was tense, and he was about to pull into a "reverse bow", and then he "tomahawk dunked" and smashed the ball into the basket.
"Bah!"
There was a louder cracking sound than Kobe's buckle just now, causing the quiet scene to burst into cheers.
Li Wan's buckle cleared the haze over Madison Square!
Kobe was stunned...
What Li Wan said just now still rings in my ears:
Kobe, are you really old?
He didn't admit it at the time.
But now he has to admit that compared to Li Wan's dunk, his dunk is really an "elderly dunk"...
Kelly watched the replay on the big screen, looked at Li Wan's strong waist, and couldn't help saying to Taylor: "Sister, you must be very lucky, right?"
After speaking, she couldn't help clamping.
She reacted to Li Wan's buckle!
Taylor is a little shy. Compared with the average western girl, her personality is not so bold.Especially compared with the women of the Kardashian family, her personality is more oriental.
However, she couldn't hold back in the end, and gave a soft "hmm".
Among the [-] aspects that Taylor is most satisfied with Li Wan, this aspect ranks in the top three, and not necessarily only the third.
Kobe Bryant, who wanted to "dismiss him", was instead "anti-general" by Li Wan. Taking advantage of this momentum, the New York Knicks made a fierce start. At 5 minutes and 15 seconds, they had already scored 18 to 14. , leading by 5 points.
Kobe started amazingly, but as the game progressed, it can be seen that tonight's state is mediocre. He missed a layup twice against a defender!
Just a defender...
Isn't this the same as a vacancy!
and so……
pass on:
Kobe did not make progress for two consecutive empty blues!
Paul Gasol stood up at this time, facing Lewis, first scored with a hook, and then made a high-post support, narrowing the point difference to only one point.
Mike Brown quickly changed and put Rasheed Wallace on the field.
The appearance of "Roaring Tianzun" made Paul Gasol no longer so calm and freehand.
Li Wan stood up at this time and contributed consecutive mid-range shots, one of which was against Kobe's supplementary defense and scored with a top shot.
After scoring the goal, Li Wan smiled.didn't say anything.
But the success angered Kobe.
In this case, not saying anything is equivalent to saying something:
Kobe, are you really old?
Yes!
This hanging man must want to say this!
At the end of the first quarter, Kobe, who was eager to respond, finally missed a shot. The Lakers fell to 29 points 36-7 and entered the second quarter.
Kenny Smith glanced at the statistics. Kobe took a total of 6 shots in the first quarter, but only hit 2 of them, and his shooting percentage was 33.3%!
Compared with him, Li Wan's performance was much better. He also took 6 shots, but hit 4 goals, and his shooting percentage was 66.6%!
Exactly twice as much as Kobe...
"It's hard for the Lakers to play now!"
Kenny Smith's reference is last season's Finals.
The Lakers lost on the bench lineup.
Although Nick Young and Yi Jianlian were introduced this season, Kenny Smith does not think that this can change the huge gap between the two benches.
If you want to talk about reinforcements from the bench, the New York Knicks are the real reinforcements!
Odom, Cook, Stevenson and others are all sitting on the bench!
But what he didn't expect was...
During the substitute rotation period, the Lakers really caught up with the 7-point difference to 1 point.
Odom probably fought fiercely with his wife Khloe Kardashian at home on "Christmas Eve" last night, and then went to a nightclub to have a good time. The whole state tonight is called a downturn.
There was even an outrageous mistake of catching and dropping the ball.
Cook did throw in a 3-pointer.
But his firepower is obviously much inferior to that of "Yang Shaoxia" on the opposite side.
2分半，3分钟不到的时间，尼克-杨贡献了8分，4投3中，罚球2罚1中……要说这家伙也算是“10时代”著名的“神经刀”了。
If the vote is passed, it is also a "single player is picturesque" role.
Tonight, probably is such a night.
Under his continuous firepower, the 7-point difference quickly narrowed to 1 point.
Even D'Antoni was called timeout by him.
What Kobe didn't do, Nick Young did!
He walked down the field with great arrogance.
New York Knicks?
Defending champion?
Huh~
It's just that!
By the way, he also glanced at Kobe.
He wanted to see what the latter looked like...
Poker face……
Ah!
Ok, that's not enough, is it?
Then I will continue to work hard!
Nick Young's heart was extremely inflated at the moment.
He suddenly thought of what he had been longing for all along:
Playing in line with Kobe's expectations...
Now it seems that...
It's tonight!
Phil Jackson is also very satisfied with Nick Young's performance. The Knicks changed the main players during this timeout, and he did the same, putting the main players on the court. However, Ariza at the third position was withdrawn by him, and Kobe He was pushed to the third position, and Nick Young continued to play the second position!
If you are not careful, you will become the main force, so you say...
Can Nick Young perform well?
Maybe after this game, he will officially enter the starting list of the Lakers!
The game resumed, and a confident Nick Young was faster than Bryant, asking for the ball from Deron.
Delong first glanced at the speechless Kobe, and then at "Yang Shaoxia". Seeing that he insisted on asking for the ball, he really wanted to remind him: Sao Nian, you are playing with fire!Sao years!
Nick Young refused to listen, and faced Ray Allen for seven or eight seconds, failing to shake out the offensive space...
But he was not in a hurry and continued to dribble fancyly.
Kobe couldn't stand it anymore, and clapped his hands toward him for the ball.
Nick Young glanced at him, and Kobe hurriedly raised his hand in a "two-handed catch" gesture, and Nick Young he...
Voted by myself!
Deron was dumbfounded again.
"Shh!"
But tonight's Nick Young is really good enough, this forced shot actually made it in!
Kobe's swear words stuck to his mouth like a creeper crawling all over the wall.But the ball went in, and he couldn't say a word.
The constant law of the court:
As long as the ball is scored, it is a good goal!
So much so that Nick Young didn't know that he had "died" once, and continued to "play life" on the court.
Kobe gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
Because of his state tonight...
Really average!
At the end of the first half, Nick Young's head went even higher.
He only played in the second quarter and played a total of 10 minutes. Nick Young scored 10 points in a single quarter in the second quarter. The efficiency of scoring one point in one minute is the highest in the entire team.
At the same time, 10 points in a single quarter is also the highest in the team.
Li Wan scored 14 points in the second quarter, but the Knicks only led by 4 points. Nick Young's performance should be remembered!
This is how ESPN's live broadcast introduced the second quarter of the "Christmas War":
No one thought that this would be a "war for points" between the students of the same year in 07!
The scores on both sides must have been thought of...
But before the game started, everyone thought it was Kobe and Li Wan!
It turned out to be Nick Young and Li Wan.
Nick Young, who returned to the locker room, glanced at his stats, then at Kobe's stats, and said solemnly: Kobe didn't play very well today!
No wonder when I went back to the locker room, I ignored everyone and just lay there alone listening to music with headphones on.
Nick Young's eyes revealed thoughts, and after a million bit of struggle, he walked towards Kobe.
Kobe was shaking his head slightly to the music, closing his eyes and resting his mind, when he suddenly felt that someone was gently pulling him. When he opened his eyes, it was the cautious Nick Young.
When he opened his eyes, he seemed to be frightened.
The guy flinched back.
"What?" Kobe pulled his earphones away, and looked at the Lakers rookie who ignored his requests several times in the second quarter, but every time he was lucky and scored top shots.
He has to take back his previous evaluation:
In the 07 class, there is really no normal person!
Nick Young didn't know that Kobe was disgusting him. He thought Kobe was losing his temper because he didn't perform well!This is also in line with his impression of Kobe.
This guy is so paranoid!
Nick Young stretched out a finger, indicating that he would only say one sentence and leave after speaking:
"Boss, take your time to find your form, and I will support you!"
Kobe: ...
I am special!
Seeing Nick Young nodding seriously, "Black Mamba" was completely speechless.
His silence, in the eyes of Nick Young, has another meaning:
Moved!
Moved!
Boss, I am touched!
Ok……
I must keep going!
As the new year approaches, the probability of relatives coming to dinner suddenly at home has also increased...
