PFC Chapter 229 Status Zhang Nuan, Fight the Nets Again
Chapter 229 Status Zhang Nuan, Fight the Nets Again
Chapter 229 The status is getting better, and the Nets will fight again
Seeing D'Antoni take Beverly to the court, Brooks also immediately pulled on James Harden.
As the third pick in the first round in 09, the last piece of the puzzle of the "Three Young Thunder", James Harden, who entered the third season of his career, has gradually grown his beard.
Faintly has the length of the original "bearded generation".
He grew longer and stronger.
11~12赛季到目前为止，詹姆斯-哈登场均可以拿到16.8分3.8篮板4.8助攻1抢断。
In fact, from the data of the "Three Young Masters of Thunder", it can be seen that all of them are "almighty monsters".
In the season when Westbrook won the regular season MVP by relying on his "triple double", James Harden actually lost two or three rebounds per game from his triple double...
When D'Antoni saw James Harden on the field, he immediately waved to the bench and called Cook up.
Last year, Li Wan had Beverly with his left hand and Artest with his right hand successfully suppressing the "Three Young Men of Thunder".
It's just that Artest is struggling to defend against Kevin Durant right now, and he will deal with James Harden later, D'Antoni is afraid that he will not have enough energy.
Of course, this is what "Mustache" doesn't understand. If he asks Li Wan, Li Wan will tell him...
Are you thinking too much and not having enough energy?
How much energy does one elbow require?
With Tyson Chandler's second attack at the basket, the foul was successful, and the rotation players waiting to play on both sides officially entered the field.
Tyson Chandler's free throws fluctuated. When it was high, it was 75%, and when it was low, it might be about 65%.
This is also the reason why few teams will cut this "rough brother", it is too easy to overturn!
After he scored both free throws, the New York Knicks barely led by 4 points.
The battle that followed was obviously much more intense.
Especially Westbrook, if he was already an aggressive rooster when he faced Li Wan just now, then at this moment, he is completely Wu Er who met Ximen Qing.
Damn you, you made me lose such a big person last year!
But just after getting stronger, Westbrook immediately realized that it was wrong...
How is this guy...
Crazier?
Westbrook's attack is very fierce, so the inertia is very strong, and the average number one really dare not go up.Beverly looked as though the one standing in front of him was not Westbrook, but Brooks of the Rockets.
Take the initiative to hold on, and continue to exert strength.
The crazy appearance, plus the hair that keeps shaking with his movements, can be described in three words:
sick!
When Westbrook found himself unable to get rid of this mad dog, he was already entangled.It also brought Beverly to the cage specially prepared for him by the Knicks.
It has not been a day or two since Westbrook has been looking forward to another battle with Beverly. Naturally, he didn't want to come up for the first attack, so he was so embarrassed and forced to turn around, but the floor under his feet didn't know whose sweat it was, so he slid and sat on the floor. He fell to the ground, and at the same time stretched his calf, and felt an uncomfortable feeling in his muscles.
"beep!"
The referee blows the whistle.
Westbrook made a dribble error.
But seeing his uncomfortable face, the game was not in a hurry to start.
Kevin Durant and James Harden immediately surrounded him.
Especially Harden, with a hint of impatience in his ignorant eyes.
He and Westbrook are "old brothers". At this moment, seeing Westbrook's mouth twitching in pain, he also empathized with the expression "I'm in so much pain".
"Maybe it's a strain!"
The team doctor came and gave a conclusion after the examination.And quickly called for a stretcher.
After seeing the team doctor's examination, Westbrook was put on a stretcher, and the Thunder fans went crazy, and one by one began to greet Beverly's family frantically.
Beverly can be considered a bastard.
This kind of accusation is nothing to him at all!
But at this moment, he showed an aggrieved expression.
no……
Didn't see the replay?
I didn't even touch him!
Is this also my injury?
Actually, it's not that the Thunder fans didn't see it.
But the problem is that Westbrook is on a stretcher, who knows what the end result will be!
The Thunder's momentum this season is so good that it is entirely possible to create new brilliance. Westbrook, who averaged 23.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game and shot 45.6% from the field, is now suddenly injured. From the statistics, it can be seen that he is very important to the entire team. How important is the team.
without him now...
Who knows how much the Thunder will be affected this season...
What if the rising momentum stops abruptly...
Thinking of these worst results, Thunder fans naturally want to find a "punching bag", and Beverly, who is mainly defending Westbrook, naturally becomes their target!
At this time, who cares whether you have met Westbrook or not.
Anyway, you got in touch with him, it's that simple!
Just like the original Dayao retired, many people talked about Kobe's collision.
But in fact, Dayao himself said that Kobe hit my numbness.
And even if he hit his knee, it was his right knee, and what really caused Dayao to retire was his left ankle...
And the doctor made it clear that it is a stress fracture.The simple explanation is that the risk of major injuries is increased.
This disease does not develop once or twice.
This happens only when you are under load for a long time...
Therefore, after the original Dayao participated in the Olympics, he was reimbursed for consecutive seasons and had no choice but to retire.
In this life, even though the coaching staff of the New York Knicks were careful and careful, Dayao was still reimbursed in the national competition.
Just a few wear and tear values.
It's over when it's used up.
But at that time, who cares how many bowls of noodles you ate!
There is a kind of mistake called "I think you are wrong"!
Li Wan patted Beverly's shoulder comfortingly, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Westbrook on the stretcher.In his impression, this season was originally a "shortened season", but Westbrook still played the entire season, not missing a game.
His "Turtle" promotion path should start from next season.
Why is it now... ahead of schedule?
Is it possible...
Li Wan's gaze returned to Beverly beside him... In this life, he snatched Beverly after the Heat waived him.
So Beverly was not the same as before. He had to go to the Development League to level up, and then let the white-skinned pig look for treasures in the "garbage dump" and bring them back to the Rockets. Only then did he gradually become famous.
He directly earned the name "Mad Dog" in the Knicks!
and so……
Beverly gained a firm foothold in the league ahead of schedule, which affected Westbrook's "advancement line". Has the "evolution of injuries" come ahead of schedule?
Intro, doesn't it mean...
When Westbrook returns, will this Thunder team be stronger than it was at the same time?
You know, the original Thunder team reached the finals of this season, and now it has become stronger...
What!
Is this what it feels like to raise a "dragon" by yourself?
However, this "evil dragon" is destined to become stronger, and this will happen later. The current situation is...
With Westbrook's injury and retirement, the Thunder lost a "thigh", the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Knicks gradually gained the upper hand. In the TNT studio, Barkley and Kenny Smith gradually stopped analyzing the game situation, but extended the topic to off-court, all kinds of nasty jokes.
What they didn't know was that at this time, the ratings recorded in the background skyrocketed!
This is the same as for some exciting games, you have to watch the official professional commentary, but for some fun games, you have to watch the two-way stream...
Professionals do professional things!
This explains that the "fun person" of basketball must be the "golden partner" of TNT.
Especially after Shaquille O'Neal came in, that's true, you can even hear the basketball in the commentary.
At 4 minutes and 15 seconds of the third quarter, as Ray Allen hit a three-pointer again, the Knicks led by 10 points.
Kenny Smith, who was making jokes at this moment, suddenly remembered that he was a commentator, and began to look at the data, showing his "professional" side: "So far this season, the Knicks have not lost a 10-point lead. Over the game!"
When Barkley heard this record, he immediately became excited: "The Thunder are gone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin Durant on the field seemed to prove him wrong, and suddenly turned on the "furious" mode, making various top three-pointers, which made Artest helpless and made him sit on the bench. Cook at the table was helpless.
Most of the time he was on the court, he was mainly defending Kevin Durant. He knew very well how depressed Artest was at the moment.
He obviously did everything, but he just couldn't stop it!
This is Kevin Durant's...
"Reaper Mode"!
Li Wan couldn't help but muttered:
It's really grown up!
Also, when you see this guy pull out the "Dual Change", you should realize that this guy has officially stepped into his peak.
At 8 minutes and 21 seconds, the Thunder quickly narrowed the point difference to 5 points.
The main hero is naturally Kevin Durant. In the past 3 minutes, "Xiao Shuai" scored 9 points alone.
What is the league's "scoring champion"!
"This guy is really strong, I think Kevin Durant this season is enough to rank in the top 5 in the league!" Drexler looked at Kevin Durant's "show" just now, Slightly stunned, before speaking, he specifically recalled the "genius scorers" in this league, and wanted to find a player with a similar style to Kevin Durant to compare.
But he suddenly discovered...
No!
Absolutely not!
From the history of the NBA, Kevin Durant has embarked on a path that belongs entirely to him.
When he entered the league, Kevin Durant's template was Tracy McGrady, but now...
Not at all!
At least Drexler doesn't think McGrady has such a strong top-shooting ability, although his pull-up jumper is a signature move.
But you know everything, McGrady's signature move is the lowest scoring efficiency among the signature skills of so many stars in the league.
You can't take a "McGrady moment" for the rest of your life, can you?
If you really want to say that, Millsap is also one of the players with the strongest shooting ability. Who hasn't had a "Millsap moment"?But in fact, Millsap is not a top shooter at all.
The same is true for Tracy McGrady. What makes him stronger is his ability to break through.
Drexler really can't find a player with a similar style in the league like Kevin Durant, who doesn't care about it and pulls it out when he feels it can be shot.
"Is the state so good?" Barkley was also a little dumbfounded, "Then this game is difficult for the Knicks!"
After finishing speaking just now, Li Wan called a pick-and-roll and counterattacked against Ibaka from mid-range.
The ball fell into the frame with a "shua".
Barkley: ...
Damn me!
I shouldn't have distrusted "Li Shen"!
Mike Brown also began to change his lineup at this time, asking the players facing Kevin Durant to create more physical confrontations, allowing him to take shots in more intense confrontations.
Kevin Durant's rhythm was disrupted.
In addition, it has been onslaught for so long before...
"Dangdang!"
Artest didn't reach the ball in front of him, but Kevin Durant, who added an emergency stop, shot wide of the frame.Looking at the sweaty "little handsome", Mike - Brown waved toward the bench again, so that Odom is ready to take over.
D'Antoni didn't make any adjustments offensively because...
It doesn't matter, Li Wan will make a move!
"Shh!"
It was still mid-range, and this time Ibaka rushed up much faster, but the ball still flew over his head and fell steadily into the basket.
The ball went into the basket, almost hollow!
"So steady!"
Drexler, who was still praising Kevin Durant just now, watched Li Wan hit the mid-range twice in a row, and his eyes unconsciously focused on Li Wan.
Bill Walton reported a set of statistics at the right time: "Li Wan is the most accurate player on key shots this season, as high as 52.3%! Kevin Durant ranks third, averaging 50.2% per game..."
"Glider" raised his eyebrows slightly.
Two "big heart" players?
In the cctv-5 studio, Director Zhang twisted his buttocks and sat up straight: "This game is so good!"
He was already looking forward to it.
The subsequent development of the game did not disappoint him sitting upright, and Li Wan continued to respond, which made Kevin Durant explode into a stronger "small universe".
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, they continued to run wild.
All kinds of unreasonable shots are like opening the "Reverse Melancholy Little Prince Badge".
This outrageous state put a lot of pressure on Li Wan.It was the first time he had encountered such a strong opponent since Kobe Bryant at his peak. Even on the scene, Kevin Durant beat Li Wan by a small hand.
However, as the game came to the last 5 minutes, Kevin Durant's unresolvable fatal problem broke out... His physical fitness began to have problems!
The louder breathing made his movements less coherent, and the accuracy of his shots plummeted.
In the last 2 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter, as he missed another shot and Li Wan scored two points again, the Knicks led by 10 points again. At this moment, the suspense of the game was completely gone. suspense.
Finally, the buzzer sounded, and the game time was all over.
The score was also fixed at 107 to 94.
The Knicks beat Westbrook's Thunder in the first quarter by 13 points.
Barkley looked at Kevin Durant's data sheet and was secretly speechless. When Westbrook was injured and went off the field, he really didn't expect the Thunder to last that long.
"This Kevin Durant, he is really amazing now!" Director Zhang also gave a thumbs up.His data column was finally fixed at 42 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Kevin Durant actually only scored 11 points in the first half, and the other 31 points were scored in the second half.
Scored 14 points in the third quarter and a full 17 points in the fourth quarter!
"If it wasn't for Li Wan, maybe he really won..."
Kenny Smith glanced at Li Wan's data: 36 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists.
Most of his points were also scored in the second half, including 12 points in the third quarter, and... 17 points in the fourth quarter!
But his 17 points are very different from Kevin Durant's 17 points:
Of Kevin Durant's 17 points, 13 of them were scored in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. In the remaining 6 minutes, he had physical problems and only scored 4 points.
As for Li Wan's 17 points, the distribution is relatively even, with 6 points in the first 8 minutes and 6 points in the last 9 minutes...
So, does it work soon?
The key is to last!
Especially for men, 6 minutes is really different from 12 minutes!
What made Li Wan most satisfied was the "Nervous Knife" badge, which had already been lit up in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, he relied on a "Strong Heart" badge to fight against Kevin Durant. Biao.
It is equivalent to saying that with almost no badges, he can fight Kevin Durant "you come and go" just by virtue of his own attributes.
And Kevin Durant is a historical scorer who has already started "Death Mode"!
I, Li Wan, have come this far by myself!
"He is very strong. He is already a super giant in this league. The Thunder have a guy who can lead them to a higher level. The future is his!"
Kevin Durant's performance also conquered D'Antoni. After the game, the Italian was full of praise for "Little Handsome".
The media in Oklahoma were very happy, but the last sentence of "Mustache" always felt weird to them...
D'Antoni continued: "Li Wan once again proved that he is the cornerstone of this team. If it weren't for him, it would be very difficult for us to win tonight..."
Of course, he did not forget to praise Li Wan.
Right now, the Knicks' record is not as good as last season, and there are many discussions outside about Li Wan, questioning whether his real strength is worthy of such a high evaluation.
This is "Long Night" belonging to Li Wan.
D'Antoni felt that he had to be a "torch" for Li Wan and give him enough warmth.
In fact, he understands Li Wan's difficulties better than anyone else.
After playing for a month, D'Antoni also fully grasped all the situation of this new New York Knicks.
To be fair...
This team lacks a real second-in-command.
Li Wan is currently averaging 25.8 points per game, ranking first in the team.
But after him, Ray Allen, who is 36 and about to be 37 years old, only scored 14.5 points. Lewis' tactical status has declined, and now he only has 15.5 points. None exceeded 15 points.
The player who disappointed D'Antoni the most was Vince Carter.
Averaged just 6.7 points per game...
His knee problems are so severe that D'Antoni can't use this card at all. ——For this point, we have to mention the "butterfly effect" again. Under the influence of Li Wan, Vince Carter failed to go to the Suns to "nirvana rebirth" this time, so that without the care of the "miracle doctor", he Many of his old illnesses have been bothering him.
With such a poor performance, Vince Carter's mood has been very low recently.
Li Wan, who felt that he was also responsible, had a special talk with him: "I have a friend..."
His friend, of course, is Greg Oden.
When Vince Carter heard that Phoenix has a "miracle doctor" who can treat his problems, his eyes lit up at that time, and he has been running between Phoenix and the Knicks recently.
So many media thought that Vince Carter was about to be sold to Phoenix.
Not to mention the organization side, Li Wangao ranks first in the league in assists per game, with an average of 12.5 assists per game, but below him, there is no one with more than 4 assists...
This is an offensive problem.
On the defensive end, Tyson Chandler, who has high hopes, can now be sure that he has the ability to assist defense and protect the frame, but his current state cannot reach the level of becoming a defensive core.
Many times, Li Wan had to lead the defensive end.
In short, the situation of the Knicks now is...
There are more soldiers and fewer generals, "Jordan" lacks "Pippen", so the offense and defense can be grasped.
Li Wan thought he was a bit like Michael Jordan in 89, but he didn't have the offensive and defensive strength of Michael Jordan at that time. You must know that Michael Jordan at that time still couldn't win the championship.
Now he is in a difficult situation, and his reputation has declined, so it is normal...
But he was in no hurry.
When he becomes an All-Star this time, completes the mission, and obtains a new template, he believes that he will have the energy to solve problems!
Of course, if you really want to worry...
I was very lucky the first two times. Whether it was Jr-Smith from the B-level card pool or DeRozan from the A-level card pool, it was considered a full-luck operation. I don’t know if I will draw S-level card this time. You will encounter the "Law of Conservation of Character"!
James Harden was criticized after the game.
In this game, the Thunder had no chance of winning.
Kevin Durant once pulled the point difference to 5 points. If James Harden could stand up and continue the firepower at that time, and let Kevin Durant breathe a sigh of relief, maybe they won this game.
As a result, James Harden made 3 of 1 shots during that time, and his performance was sluggish. It was not as good as when he was surrounded by "big brother" and "second brother".
After the whole game, his statistics were only 10 of 3 shots, 5 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 points. In addition, he had 3 assists and 3 turnovers.
Far from his usual performance...
James Harden is also a little wronged.
Kevin Durant encountered a "wheel battle", and he also encountered a "wheel battle". Mike Brown kept changing people, so that he was constantly adapting to the defender's style. For him, it was really blue and thin .
The good news is that Westbrook's injury report came out. The strain was a bit serious, but it didn't hurt the soft tissue. He will be able to return to the court in about a month.
This news made the sky in Oklahoma suddenly clear again!
This game allowed them to see how immature Kevin Durant is now, how immature James Harden is, and how important Westbrook is to this team!
12月6日，跟12月7日，纽约尼克斯迎来了12月的第一波“背靠背”。
Originally, D'Antoni planned to give up one of the games strategically, and even arranged for players to rest. In the game against the Milwaukee Bucks on December 12, Kwame Brown and Cook entered the starting lineup.
But the result was unexpected!
In these two games, the Knicks fought hard.
Relying on the three-point shooting from the outside...
On December 12th, in the first "back-to-back" game against the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks made a total of 6 outside 3-pointers, and a "three-point rainstorm" directly flooded Charlotte.
Ray Allen threw 4 three-pointers in this game, and Lewis also threw 3 3-pointers.
On December 12, as Cook, who played the first game of the season, exploded with excitement, the Knicks played a more violent "storm" in Milwaukee, making 7 of 30 three-pointers.
Cook contributed 5 of them, Ray Allen threw 5, Lewis threw 3, Li Wan also threw 3...
It was also at this time that the media gradually discovered that after entering December, the Knicks' three-point shooting seemed to have regained the style of last season.
Especially Ray Allen and Lewis, in the 12 games that have been played in December, of the two of them, one has scored 4 three-pointers, and the other has a little less, but also reached 15 three-pointers !
Although others did not perform so steadily and strongly, it was not difficult for Cook to break out and score 5 three-pointers in a single game...
Winning this round of "back-to-back", the Knicks won the "7-game winning streak" and at the same time, it also allowed their record to tie with the second-ranked Nets in the East.
Just because of the gap between each other, they are still ranked third in the Eastern Conference.
But just so...
The Knicks entered the fifth game in December, which is against the New Jersey Nets at home!
Here comes the chance to knock the Nets off the horse!
Nets head coach "Little General" Johnson also knew the importance of this game to the Nets, and pointed out before the game: "How to prevent this team's three-pointers will be the key to our victory! We We did a good job in the last game, and in this game, I hope we can continue the defensive state at that time!"
These words touched the sensitive nerves of the Knicks.
After playing the Nets at that time, the Knicks unanimously chose to be "hard-spoken", looking for various reasons to explain the reason why they lost to the Nets, but they did not admit that the Nets were very strong.
The main reason, apart from the fact that they killed the Nets in the playoffs last season, the more important point...
They are not satisfied!
Especially Ray Allen.
Not to mention the grievances with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
This jj-Redick or something, there is a big problem at first glance, not to mention the awareness of defensive running. According to the current state, "Gentleman Lei" looked back at the game video at that time, and he found that the ball actually Can I go in?
Just wait, this time I must let you see what kind of level the "League's No. [-] three-pointer" is!
Madison Square is still on fire.
Mainly, the third championship banner has just been raised, and they kneel down to Li Wan. Although the current situation is not as dominant as last season, the record is still at the top of the second echelon. The performance of the first echelon, "turning faces" so quickly, this is too bitch.
Although they are bitches, they don't want to be such bitches...
Bitches are different from whores!
They are convinced by Li Wan!
Of course, in the final analysis, it is still the grades that speak!
Right now, the New York Knicks have the longest "30-game winning streak" among the 7 teams in the league, and they seem to be the best team at present. Doesn't this mean that the "defending champion" is back!
What else is there to say!
It's over!
It can be seen that Johnson is really concerned about the Knicks' recent three-point status. During the warm-up match, he looked at the warm-up Knicks from time to time.
When he saw them making consecutive three-point shots, before the game started, he once again emphasized to the Nets: "Listen, guys, you must pay attention to the opponent's outside line, and don't give them the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer." Space, suppress their three-point firepower, we will definitely have the last laugh in this game!"
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce also nodded vigorously.
When they saw Ray Allen's eyes, they knew that this was a war!
And for all the members of the Nets who want to win the championship, they are very clear that even if the New York Knicks are not so strong this season, Li Wan's past "turning decay into magic" operations are still in front of them, so they can only keep going. Only by defeating the Knicks who own Li Wan can they feel at ease.
But as soon as they came up, they were hit in the face first.
Ray Allen catches the ball on the wing, his body still floating in the air, and throws the ball into the basket.
jj-Redick looked like he had seen a ghost.
You call that "catch and shoot"?
This season, Redick played the "strongest season" of his career, averaging 12.8 points per game, shooting 42.3% from the field and 43.4% from three-pointers.
In the first game against the Knicks, he scored 14 points and made 3 3-pointers.
Compared with him, Ray Allen's performance in that game was obviously much inferior. n hits 1.At that time, he was thinking that it belongs to the "renewal" of the shooter class, and it came...
But as soon as the game came up, Ray Allen told him with practical actions, what is "your uncle or your uncle"!
With this method, Redick feels that he will not be able to match it after another 100 years of practice.
3-0!
The atmosphere of the Knicks' home court was detonated at the beginning.
The Nets launched a counterattack. Facing Ray Allen's defense, Chris Paul chose his own singles. Ray Allen didn't have too much contact with him and directly put him in the middle distance.
When he entered the three-point line, the Knicks quickly switched defenses. Chris Paul looked up and saw that the defender in front of him had become Li Wan.
step back jump shot...
Miss!
Kevin Garnett grabbed the offensive rebound and launched a second attack, but encountered Li Wan's "nail board cap".
The ball hit the backboard with a dull sound, and what Kevin Garnett saw was the lost youth.
The "Wolf King" back then, when did people become so "hard hated"!
The Knicks counterattacked.
Chris Paul tried to force Li Wan to stop through small moves.
But Li Wan has been dealing with him for so many years. He has learned the tricks of "Dirty Paul" so many times.Immediately facing sideways, he took the initiative to push Paul away.
Immediately after exerting his strength again, Paul had no choice but to reach out and tug on Li Wan's jersey, but Li Wan charged too hard and staggered him directly.
He is as fierce as an "Iron Man"!
Chris Paul, who was sitting on the ground, saw the "Nets foul No. 3" signaled by the referee, with a mournful face, he signaled to his teammates.
Speaking of which, this is also a "little master of spreading hands"!
I have something to do today, I have 8 words for a small change, I will remember how many words I owe, and I will definitely pay it back, please rest assured!
