Chapter 181 The management should come up with a better way

Oklahoma is overcast again!

Kevin Durant played against 100 netizens with a trumpet, but he didn't understand. He was still working hard for 60 points in a single game. How could Li Wan score 75 points!

What's even more irritating is...

The Thunder also had a game yesterday, and they challenged the Phoenix Suns in an away game. This season, the Suns are back on their feet again. The "Quick Whirlwind" has reappeared in the league. It currently ranks third in the Western Conference, second only to the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

Kevin Durant squeezed it all out, scoring a season-high 43 points and leading the team to a 108-100 exit from the American West Arena.

After this victory, the Thunder officially entered the top eight in the Western Conference and returned to the playoffs.

This is the first time the team has reached this position since Seattle moved to Oklahoma City.

It was a new personal season high, and it brought the team back to the playoffs stage. Kevin Durant had already done a good job. When he woke up the next day, the whole network reported wildly, and the fans praised him in all kinds of ways. psychological preparation.

result……

wake up the next day...

There are many personal private messages in the background of his Twitter account, but they are all:

"Kevin, go and see, Li Wan's scoring in a single game has reached a new high!"

"OMG, Kevin, Li Wan scored 75 points!"

"Is it okay, Kevin, Li Wan has 70 plus points in a single game, and you get 43 points? No, go to the Development League, score 80 points there, and come back, anyway, it is considered a league under the NBA..."

……

All he said was Li Wan's 75 points!

Especially the netizen at the end, look, is that speaking human language? ?

At that time, he couldn't hold the fire, and started to fight...

But even if his side is full of fire, the media reports that he saw:

Li Wan, Li Wan, what the hell is Li Wan!

As for the fact that he scored 43 points and helped the team get back to the playoffs...

Except for the media in Oklahoma...

No one cares!

Kevin Durant was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He sat alone on the long bench on the sidelines during the normal break of daily training, sighing.

Not far away, James Harden noticed this:

"Russell, do you think Kevin has fallen out of love?"

What did Westbrook think of...

After the game with the Suns yesterday, Kevin Durant, who was drained, fell asleep on the plane. Westbrook was sitting next to him at the time, and heard him talking in his dreams, "How can you take the initiative to kiss?" Him", "there is no bath water" and so on...

Immediately felt that Harden was right.

"It should be broken love!"

When Harden heard this, he wanted to make an appointment with his big brother and go to a nightclub tonight to have fun. He went to a newly opened bar last night. Same, round and round.Harden stared straight.He thought he was in heaven.

He believes that Kevin Durant will feel the same way then.

Westbrook continued to dislike him in his heart...

This "big brother" is really not good!Let a woman hurt like this!

If it's cloudy in Oklahoma, it's raining in Los Angeles...

Every time Li Wan's highlights are also when they are "slapped" in the face.

And as Li Wan received more and more honors and his performance became more and more exaggerated, every time he slapped Los Angeles in the face, the damage was doubled.

This single game "75 points" is super doubled!

Angelenos would love to pour Kupchak a cappuccino, the full one...

Get out of here now, you!

Yes, in every liquidation, there must be a name in the list that must be picked out in the end: Mitch Kupchak.

Otis took a sip of the cappuccino that was filled to the brim.

There's no alcohol in his coffee cup, but he's drunk like a dog!

No way, Li Wan is too fragrant!

He was confused by the fragrance!

Sure enough, my original choice was correct...

As bad as Kupchak was scolded by the Los Angeles people, Otis was praised so badly by the Orlando people.

He gambled heavily on Li Wan's deal with two first-round picks and the starting No. [-] pick Nelson Jr., which is now the veritable "first deal" in the history of the Magic team.

There is no other deal that can compare to this deal.

The impact of Li Wan's 75 points in a single game is still continuing.

Barkley suddenly stood up and said: "Actually, I really don't think Li Wan's 75 points in a single game is so great... Jennings scored 55 points against this team, and Li Wan scored 85 points against this team." To [-] points, it can be regarded as a normal performance."

"75 points is really less..."

"Steph Curry, he really has no defensive ability!"

The previous statement proved Barkley's reasoning ability as a "logic genius", and the latter statement, after n years, made him the first well-documented "lib black"...

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the Magic continued to fight for the next game.

Back at home, they ushered in the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Li Wan welcomes his old buddy Mike Conley, he has never seen this guy smile so happily.

No wonder...

The guy's progress this season is finally no longer a snail crawl.

Averaged 16.8 points, 5.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game...

Complete first-line level...

The Grizzlies have OJ-Mayo and Rudy Gay on the outside this year, and Zach Randolph on the inside. The possession of the ball is not enough. Under such circumstances, Mike Conley can still get this data, which proves that he Ability.

It can also be seen from the shooting percentage that the average shooting percentage of 45% per game is a new high in his career so far.

I don't know if the data came up, and people are confident. Mike Conley shaved off the "mouth" beard, and by the way, he made a "ground ditch"...

Sure enough, the idol of this small outsider is basically Allen Iverson.

I don't know if breakthroughs are addictive, or in order to fully match Allen Iverson, Mike Conley's entire style of play is much more aggressive than before.

The original Conley was a very traditional No. [-] position. With the ball in hand, the first thing in his mind was to pass the ball.

But now, after the pick-and-roll, his first choice is to attack the frame most of the time.

But also...

The desire to attack has not increased, so how can the score increase so much all of a sudden.

But in this way, there is a problem:

Neither OJ Mayo nor Rudy Gay are pure pitchers. They prefer to play one-on-one.

When there was no ball, they watched from the sidelines with their hips akimbo.

This has led to a chaotic sense of "whoever gets the ball will play singles" on the outside of the Grizzlies.

This is also one of the reasons why they are still ranked tenth in the Western Conference and failed to enter the playoffs...

Well, one of the...

Another reason is that oj-Mayo's growth is not as expected. He averaged 18.5 points per game in the first season. Not only did he not make any progress this season, but he even regressed.

Averaged only 16.8 points per game.

Chris Wallace showed his optimistic side. In an interview, he said that the Grizzlies this season are very different from the past. This team has more scoring points, and OJ Mayo needs to bear less Yes, but although Mayo averaged fewer points per game this season, his average shooting percentage per game is 1.5% higher than last season!

This proves that oj-Mayo is not regressing, but improving.

He used fewer ball possessions, higher shooting percentage, and played better efficiency!

and so……

applaud!

Seriously, if it wasn't for the Grizzlies still sitting in the tenth position in the West, I don't know, I thought the Grizzlies would be in the top four in the West this season...

But it cannot be said that the Grizzlies have gained nothing!

Zach Randolph...

It is their biggest gain!

This season, Randolph seems to be a different person. He is no longer affected by off-court affairs, and his concentration on the court has improved. With an average shooting percentage of 48.8%, he scored 20.8 points and 11.2 rebounds in the "20 plus 10" luxury data.

This efficiency is his new high since the 02-03 season.

At that time, he was a little transparent in the Trail Blazers who averaged only 16.4 minutes per game...

No one thought of this!

Including Chris Wallace.

Just facing the media:

"There's something about him that fits with Memphis, and I think that's why I traded him to the Grizzlies, why he can get his focus back on the court..."

What stands out is the appearance!

Do you believe that he can "turn the prodigal son back"?

You are obviously greedy for the salary space created by his contract expiring soon!

You are asshole!

Some media also asked Zach Randolph, why this season can be so focused on the game, instead of being affected by off-court events?

Randolph smiled slightly, and didn't say much, but said in his heart:

Hehe, laugh to death, you think I don't want to?

First of all, in Memphis, it has to let me have an off-site affair?

In Zach Randolph's view, there is no "prodigal son" that Memphis' dullness can't overcome.

If so, stay for another year!

His "coming back", coupled with Marc Gasol's growth...

This is Gasol's second season in the NBA. His average data has once again improved to an average of 14.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, in addition to 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks and 2.3 assists.

Except for lack of long-range shooting ability and low-post play under the basket, he has all the other aspects that should be in the paint!

In this way, the Grizzlies have collected the "inside twin towers" above the league's first-tier level.

The two of them brought a huge challenge to the Magic inside.

Especially Howard, who didn't want to disappoint Li Wan, tried his best to hone his singles, and became "Huo's apprentice" again, which made people have no temper at all. The "little beast" at this moment is very much like "Xiao Shou".

Fortunately, the Magic's outside shooting group was accurate enough tonight, and they barely held the home court with 103 to 94.

Li Wan scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 55% again!

Howard made 15 of 6 shots, 4 of which were all sports scores. He scored 15 points and had a lot of rebounds, 13 rebounds of high quality and quantity.

But playing so anxiously against No. [-] in the Western Conference, the Orlando people will naturally not be happy.

This requires encountering a powerful...

Sure enough, in the next game against the Denver Nuggets, fourth in the West, they lost by 10 points.

Artest played very well tonight. On the defensive end, he locked Anthony, the current top small forward, and defended the latter with 18 of 7 shots, which is a worthy 39% shooting percentage.

Turning around, Howard made 17 of 5 shots from the basket...

There was a "moment bright" with Anthony.

It was so covered that it was almost impossible to tell the difference between south, east and north.

The patience of "The Beast" was exhausted, and in the next game, he began to compete with Howard on the court for the ball.The chaos inside the Magic went further.

The third position and the fifth position each play their own roles. Even if Li Wan is Michael Jordan, that won't save the team, not to mention, he doesn't have the ability of Michael Jordan now...

It's even worse!

In the next 5 games, the Magic had 2 wins and 3 losses. Before they knew it, they fell to sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

The overall strength of the Eastern Conference has become significantly stronger this year. The Charlotte Bobcats, currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, also have a 50% winning rate!

Fortunately, the Magic's record in November was good enough, otherwise, they might not even be able to make the playoffs now.

Orlando Multimedia was a little dumbfounded. At the beginning of the season, they never expected that the Magic's script would be like this.

The announcement of the All-Star weekend lineup at the end of January gave Orlando a little bit of comfort...

This year, Li Wan and Howard were re-selected to the Eastern Conference starting lineup, and Lewis also entered the Eastern Conference All-Star bench as a substitute player.

In other words, there are still 3 All-Star players in the Magic this year.

They are still in the center of the world!

But they can lie to themselves like this, but ESPN unceremoniously put the Magic in the list of "most disappointing teams" during the halftime summary.

In addition to the Magic, there is also the Boston Celtics...

Although it has long been expected that this team will inevitably decline further as the "Big Three" is one year older, but from the previous No. [-] in the East to the current No. [-] in the East, the speed of decline still exceeds Everyone expected.

For this team, ESPN's comment is: Obviously, they have tried their best, but they lack a little luck!

In the 07-08 season and the 08-09 season, the Boston Celtics had the first record in the regular season. Once they reached the finals, and because of Kevin Garnett's injury, the Boston Celtics stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

If there is only the "champion theory", then the formation of the "Big Three" is undoubtedly a failure.

But judging from the overall record and their changes to the league structure, they are undoubtedly successful.

In the past two years, no one dared to say that the Celtics were not the top team in the league.

But for this team, time is the biggest enemy...

What has been shown in the first half of the third season, in ESPN's view, the decline has been revealed. The era of the Celtics' "Big Three" has not come yet, and it is over.

It is not so much disappointment as regret!

After all, the "invincibility" shown by the Celtics in the regular season last year made many media believe that they will be the final winner of the season, and the "Big Three" are destined to realize their dreams.

result……

Only one sound remains: Hey!

There are disappointing teams, and there are naturally surprising teams, such as the Portland Trail Blazers and the Thunder.

One of them ranks second in the West, and the other ranks eighth in the West.

They are all in the same situation. They belong to the demolition and reconstruction, and it's time to pick the fruit.

However, no one expected that the fruit would grow so fast and bear such a large size!

Plus, there are surprise players.

Zach Randolph's name is on the list.

Another surprising player, and...

All members of the draft in 09!

I still remember the summer of 08, just after the 08 NBA Draft, there were a lot of media shouting, "09 is a small draft year, except for the top three picks, all other picks are rubbish!"

With the approach of the 09 draft, this voice gradually became louder...

but now!

If anyone still says that the 09 NBA Draft is a "small draft year", then he must be embarrassing, or he doesn't understand the game at all!

The 09 draft now has a new name:

"Year of the Defender"!

Tyreke Evans, Flynn, Stephen Curry, Jennings...

This is not counting James Harden and DeRozan, who have gradually established themselves in the team's main rotation lineup...

If you count them all...

Therefore, ESPN believes that the time has come for the league's guards to be replaced.

Because not only many excellent guards were born in 09, Li Wan was the representative in 07, Rose was the representative in 08, several excellent guards have already entered the league.

The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach.

They naturally replaced many defenders who had made a living in this league.

And this is the cruelty of the NBA's replacement.

The crueler point is that there are many players who don't even know when they left the league.

The spotlight always belongs to the group of people who are most in the limelight!

Those who can turn around and leave under the spotlight, really, very few!

They are all the people at the tip of the pyramid...

However, the continuous emergence of excellent new guards has also made excellent big men even more scarce in recent years.

From 07 to now, there is only one Oden. In 08, Kevin Love and transfer student Marc Gasol can barely be regarded as the inside big men who can have a core position.

09...

So far, there is still only one, and that is Griffin.

For others, either the water will fall, or the upper limit can still see the head, and at most it will be the height of the "top blue collar".

And the insiders who can reach the level of Shaq O'Neal and Tim Duncan, looking around the entire league, may only be Oden and Howard.

ESPN draws a conclusion from this: These two people will be looted for the next ten years.

As for the team that gave up the two of them, ESPN can only use one word to evaluate:

stupid!

Many Orlando media have listened to ESPN's opinion.

They believe that Howard should really be given some time to polish his singles skills at the basket, so as to maximize his value!

"There's no question he can reach Shaq's heights!"

Orlando Multimedia's conclusions aroused Shaquille O'Neal's dissatisfaction.

He responded to the media: "I think they should have forgotten what Shaq did to the future of the league in their eyes in the last game!"

On December 12, during the game between the Magic and the Cavaliers.

沙克-奥尼尔面前霍华德17分10篮板,轻松压制了15分9篮板的霍华德,后者还累积到了5次犯规。

Even Shaquille O'Neal, who is about to "shark wither", can still easily solve Howard!

"Next time, we won't lose!" Howard responded strongly to Shaq's call.

The conflict between the two reached its peak at this moment!

Speaking of which, the Magic has been a bit bleak during this time.

However, I don't know if it was because of the stimulation of Li Wan's 75 points in a single game, the entire league has become more exciting and exciting during this period of time.

From January 1th to the current February 16st.

There have been 11 single-game 50-plus times in the entire league.

There are also 12 "triple doubles".

It's been a period of time known as the "data explosion".

Kobe was especially crazy during this time!

He contributed to one of the 11 50-plus games in a single game.

The opponent is his old "ATM cash machine": Utah Jazz!

What is even crazier than 50 plus in a single game is another statistic of his:

On December 12, Wade was killed 5 seconds before the end of the game;

12月17日,加时赛5压哨绝杀,107:106胜雄鹿;

On January 1, 17 seconds to kill the Kings;

On January 1, the Trail Blazers were tied in 19 seconds and entered overtime;

Yes, the new season is only halfway through, and he has already contributed 4 lore or quasi-lore.

Show his big heart to the fullest!

But according to Barkley:

This is because Li Wanjue was out of the shadows, and now he is taking revenge on the society. ——From the Summer Olympics last year to the end of the season, Li Wan made a total of 3 buzzer-beating shots in front of Kobe, twice face-to-face, and once Kobe assisted defense, but the distance was less than 30cm...

Such a strong Kobe and the Lakers are the opponents of the Magic's first game in February.

Kobe has been waiting for this game for a long time. Before the game, facing the media, he said bluntly: "We will leave Orlando with a victory, and this is just the beginning!"

What this means is that we will win you in the regular season first, and then wait until the finals... How did we win you in the regular season, and then we will still win you!

Such a provocation, can you bear it?

Li Wan sharpened his sword furiously, unfortunately...

Useless!

The rivalry between Howard and Artest once again let the victory slip away.

Li Wan scored 36 points, the highest score of the two teams, but he still watched Kobe walk away with victory.

After returning to the parking lot and getting into the car, he finally couldn't help but slapped the steering wheel in front of him hard.

But he also knows very well that instead of suffering for several seasons, it is better to end this season.

In the days of competition on the court, the relationship between Artest and Howard has become increasingly tense.

On February 2, the Magic suffered a "three-game losing streak", ceding the seventh place in the East and falling to eighth in the East.

Artest and Howard almost performed "full martial arts" again during daily training.

On February 2th, four days before the All-Star Weekend, the Magic couldn't even sit in the eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Their record advantage in November exhausted them and dropped them to the ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

If there is a hot search right now, you can definitely see such an entry: I feel sorry for Li Wan!

自2月份到目前,李万场均贡献26.5分5.5篮板6助攻2.5抢断1.5盖帽。投篮命中率53%,三分球命中率41.2%,罚球命中率90%……

You can't find any problems with him at all.

Whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, what you can see from him is only three words:

I want to win!

And he didn't have any complaints. Whether the media reporters mentioned Artest or Howard in front of him, he tried his best to say good things for them.

So mature that people want to hug him...

There are indeed female fans who do this.

After the photos leaked out, Li Wan received Taylor's "13call".

After seeing the overall situation of the Magic team so bad, she knew that Li Wan must be under a lot of pressure, so she customized a valuable high-tech mattress for him. Not only can it not burn, but it can also record various data in detail, and massage and relax , to ensure sleep.

The day after the Magic fell out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference, a rumor suddenly broke out from the general manager's office of the Magic: Otis is considering sending Artest away before the free trade market closes.

When Li Wan heard the rumor, his eyes lit up, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief: It's finally here!

What he was waiting for was the moment when the rumors broke out.

because it means...

He can shoot at the management now!

With the proud self-esteem of the management of the Magic team, he absolutely can't stand him pointing fingers at the management.

This is not Li Wan's nonsense, but there are traces to follow:

Why do you think Shaquille O'Neal left Orlando and was treated humiliatingly?Just because he wants a 2 million year contract?

You know, Shaq was only 26 years old at the time, and everyone knew whether he was worth 2 million!

Including the Magic management.

But Shaq committed one of the most taboo problems of the Magic: pointing fingers at the management!

The year before Shaq O'Neal's contract expired, it was when Hardaway needed to sign a big contract. When he heard that the Magic did not want to give Hardaway a big contract, he immediately fired at the management and helped Hardaway put pressure together. , In the end Hardaway succeeded in getting a big contract.

But the matter of Shaq O'Neal forcing the palace, the management of the Magic team took note...

Think about it, in the short history of the Magic, Shaquille O'Neal led the team to the Finals, even if the Magic didn't want to sign him with a big contract, why did they ask twice in a row: keep Hardaway or keep Shaq? ;Shaq is worth 2 million...

This is clearly an insult to him, to avenge his help in Hada's intimidation of the palace last year.

To say that Hardaway is really low enough, Shaq helped him so much at the time, but when Shaq needed help, this guy just kept his head down and didn't dare to fart.

Because he knows the urine of the Magic management team!

Coincidentally...

Tim Duncan in 00, who just led the Spurs to win the championship in 99, is extremely majestic, but he is such a super rookie in the league. After negotiating the contract, he asked "Can I bring my family on the passenger plane?" He refused decisively. Without hesitation for a second.

It reminded Tim Duncan of the tenderness of San Antonio.

Later, McGrady, who won the "scoring champion" for two consecutive seasons, threatened the palace and asked them to use the No. 04 pick in [-] to exchange for immediate combat power...

In the end, no matter what season you are "scoring champion", get out of here!

Including Howard, who was at his peak later, told him to either trade me or strengthen the team.The response I got was also... Where is Sayou, go to your Los Angeles!

Is Li Wan strong enough now?

Very strong, the youngest Mr. "60 points", "70 points" and the MVP of the finals!

But compared to "one of the four major centers" Shaq O'Neal, Tim Duncan who led the team to win the championship in the second year and the MVP of the finals in the rookie season, and Tim Duncan, who has been the "scoring champion" for two consecutive times, McGrady, "League No. [-] Center" Howard...how strong can he be?

They all left the Magic because of forcing the palace or making demands with the management.

Can Li Wan's bombardment be an exception?

Obviously not!

Let the Magic trade him...

This is Li Wan's ultimate goal.

His forbearance is just to hope that when he leaves the team, he will have a good reputation.

It wasn't the Magic that broke up with teammates and left, but wanted to win and couldn't stand some mediocre operations by the management, so they left!

This step is also very important...

It's easy to break up with Howard directly...

However, breaking up with teammates and leaving the team once may be someone else's problem. If it happens twice or three times, then in the eyes of outsiders, you are also a problem!

In this way, when some teams consider whether to sign you and establish you as the core, they will hesitate.

Don't you see that "toughest man" Jimmy Butler left the Bulls after he broke up with the Bulls, was he the first one to be dumped if there was a problem in the locker room?

It wasn't until the Heat were able to regain their footing.

Li Wan won't make other teams hesitate once he has a quarrel. His future is still very bright.

But he has a long career ahead of him, so...

Try to save this opportunity for the next time, when he is truly full-fledged, every team can't wait, no matter what happens, when he is the main one, it's not too late to be self-willed...

Just like "Ou Shenxian"!

No matter what happened to Fox, the Nets still regard him as a treasure.

Even if the Jewish incident happened, the management's first thought was not to abandon him, but to help him eliminate the influence as much as possible.

All in all...

Don't waver!

Let's develop obscenely first!

As for whether bombarding the management will make the management of other teams think you are a thorn...

That's why Li Wan bombarded him only when the rumors about the deal came out!

When a team has Li Wan, Howard, Lewis, Artest... and has an astonishing record of 11 wins and 3 losses in the first month of the new season, when there is a problem with the team atmosphere, the solution is to One of them deals...

Going out to inquire, would the other management think it was Li Wan's assassin, or would they think the Magic management was an idiot?

They will definitely say: If it were me, I would definitely clear up the conflicts between the players and get this team back on track!

Otis is an idiot!

There is a saying: peers are enemies!

The general managers of the 30 teams in the league think the other 29 general managers are idiots!

Besides, Li Wan's character "want to win" has already been set up.

This makes the general managers of other teams feel that Otis doesn't know how to cherish!

If the Magic really want to trade Li Wan...

their reaction...

Come on, come on, Li Wan, come to Uncle's arms, Uncle will definitely build a "ship new" championship lineup around you, whoever you want, I will get you here!

Therefore, when the reporter asked about the rumors about Artest's trade, Li Wan said without hesitation: "In my opinion, this is not the right way. We have achieved great success in the first month of the new season." , we can work out a good chemical reaction... If any player is traded for the harmony of the team atmosphere, I think I will be very disappointed, this is not what I expect to happen!"

“Management should come up with something better!”

 There are relatives in the family today, 8 words, make up tomorrow, plus the 1 owed before, [-] tomorrow.
