Chapter 158 Disputes at the end of the season
The Lakers also had a game that night, and the Los Angeles media, who knew the news, told him the news of the Magic's loss to the Celtics as soon as they interviewed Kobe.
Kobe looked at the expressions of schadenfreude on each of these faces, and shook his head speechlessly.
He didn't forget, the pale expression on the faces of these guys yesterday after they knew the Magic had sacked 69 points in the game against the Hornets...
Looking at them at that time, it seemed that the sky was about to fall.
Why did the Magic lose to the Celtics in this game, and it was as if they could directly open champagne again?
"If the Lakers can only win the championship depending on who their opponent is, it can only show that our own strength is not enough..." Kobe swallowed his throat and said solemnly, "No matter who the opponent is, I believe that the Lakers' defense is unstoppable." !"
Kobe's expression was flat, but his tone of voice was determined.
He's clearly confident...
He also has reason to be confident!
They won the final victory in this game tonight, and after winning this game, they secured their 60th win of the season!
They are the first team in the league to do this this season!
Here's how they've been dominant this season...
When his teammates are no worse than others, Kobe is really not afraid of any opponent!
Besides...
Li Wan is really fierce!
It can be said that he is the newcomer with the most momentum in the past ten years...
It's not just about the data...
In terms of statistics, LeBron, who averaged 27 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game in the second year, has a much higher increase than him, and his statistics are also much fiercer.
But if you look at the performance of your team, then LeBron is far behind!
That is, the No. 97 pick in [-], Tim Duncan, who led the Spurs to win the championship in the second season of his career, was able to suppress Li Wan in both statistics and team performance.
Perhaps this is why most of the league was poor in Tim Duncan back then...
The current Wenban Yama has caused at least seven or eight teams to perform poorly, but if compared with the league's poor performance in the 96-97 season, it really pales in comparison!
Tim Duncan's dominance also proves that he deserves it...
Who can make a team always competitive?
Even LeBron, the "Proud Son of Heaven", has not made the playoffs in some seasons in his career.
But Tim Duncan has never missed the playoffs in his entire career!
Li Wan's strong career start, in front of him, is comparable to a tie. Even if he fails to win the championship this season, Li Wan will be compared by Tim Duncan.
Of course, worse than senior Tim Duncan, this is not a disgraceful thing...
After all, when Li Wan was this age, Tim Duncan was still in college thinking about how to deal with the sharks in the sea!
But strong is strong. As someone who has experienced it, Kobe really doesn't think that Li Wan can break out from the East. Even if he is, he will be very troubled by the current Celtics and Cavaliers.
He still needs to go through more...
Furthermore, even if they do meet the Magic in the finals, Kobe doesn't mind giving Li Wan a period of growth!
Seeing Kobe like this, the reporters in Los Angeles gradually felt at ease.
In fact, in their hearts, this year's O'Brien Cup has already engraved the name of the Lakers, and it is only temporarily stored in the president's office at the NBA headquarters in New York.
David Stern...
Union president? ?
no, no, no...
He is the one watching the trophy for the Lakers!
Occasionally, I have to take a rag to wipe the dust on it...
But for anything, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
If the Magic make it to the finals, they have this just in case... Only if the Magic can't make it to the finals, there is absolutely no such a case.
Can the dignified Los Angeles, "Zijin Dynasty" become the background board of a rookie?
No, absolutely not!
The Los Angeles media really don't want to see such a situation happen. In this case, the lunatics in New York will ridicule them for at least three months.
It’s just that they can understand Kobe even if they don’t understand it. In Kobe’s view, this is a typical "weak thinking". If he can figure it out, he will be damned!
Other media's attitude towards the Magic has also changed.
Most of the headlines on Day 69 of the [-]-point win over the Hornets were:
"69 points beat No. 7 in the West, this team is ready!"
"69 points madly slaughtered the Hornets, creating a historical record, the defending champion, don't think you are safe!"
"There's so much more to say, this is the best era for the Magic!"
……
Judging by the momentum, it is really imminent, and the wind that belongs to Orlando will blow the entire NBA league.
But after this game, the headlines of these media became:
"It's an insurmountable mountain. This season, is it still the Celtics vs. the Lakers?"
"The Magic team lost to the Celtics again, and a problem was exposed in the fierce battle!"
"If this problem cannot be solved, then the Magic will never have a chance to win the championship!"
……
Who would dare to believe that this is the media's evaluation of the same team after only one night!
And this is public opinion!
It is not static, but ever-changing.
Let's put it this way, if Los Angeles wins the championship this season, then Los Angeles' decision to trade Li Wan last year will be criticized for nothing.
But if they lose this season and the Lakers win the championship next season, then trading Li Wan will become a very correct decision...
It will take at least 5 years for this matter to be concluded.
After comparing the number of Lakers championships in the past five years, Li Wan's growth rate, and his achievements, whether the Lakers' trading of Li Wan is the right choice or not is the only way to discuss a result that will not be repeated.
The Magic continued their next schedule. After losing to the Celtics, they quickly won two consecutive victories, but on March 3, they unexpectedly lost to the Atlanta Hawks...
The fourth place in the East this night was completely crazy, and all members broke out.
One by one, the basket was as vast as the sea, and the team's shooting percentage was as high as 55%!
In the end, they scored 19 three-pointers and took away the victory from the Magic's home court.
Li Wan was also very helpless after the game. When he saw Bibby hit two consecutive three-pointers against his defense, he knew that in tonight's game, unless Turkoglu broke his leg, or Howard just Crack, otherwise I definitely can't win...
There are always two nights when the opponent will be too fierce.
That was clearly the case for the Hawks tonight.
The next day, many media ridiculed: Li Wan, who has always been a "nervous knife", also made his opponent "nerve knife".
Li Wan said frankly: This feeling is really uncomfortable... However, it is very cool when it happens to others, I will definitely pay it back, wait!
I don't know if this scares the Eagles. In the next game, the Eagles made 16 of 2 three-pointers...
The surprise loss ended the month of March with an 11-4 record for the Magic.
It was also this loss, they failed to get 3 wins at the end of March!
They currently have a record of 59 wins and 16 losses.
At the same time, because of this loss, the difference between them and the Celtics came to 2 games.
There are only 7 games left in the season, and the Celtics' No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference has gradually stabilized.
Although some are not reconciled to being robbed of the first position.However, since the possibility of competing for the first place in the Eastern Conference has become smaller, Stan Van Gundy also adjusted his strategic layout and began to prepare for the playoffs.
April 4st, the first day of April.
In the Magic's home game against the New York Knicks, Antonio McDyess, who has barely played this season, got nearly 20 minutes of playing time.
Lewis had to sit on the sidelines because of a sudden "arm discomfort" before the game.
In addition, the adjustment he made was the use of Michael Pietrus...
In fact, since winning the Boston-Celtics game before, Michael Pietrus' playing time has been increasing.
This is also done so that he can better adjust to the state of the playoffs.
The Knicks are currently ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference and continue to have a bright future.
Speaking of which, Li Wan's sudden birth gave the general managers of the entire league, especially those who were in trouble, a basis.
So what happened to 09 being a draft year?
Was Li Wan favored at the time?
Wasn't he also selected with the 19th pick in the first round?
Since there can be a first time, it is very likely to have a second time!
them……
Bet!
Since Kupchak was able to select Li Wan with the 07th pick in the first round of the 19 draft, then we can select the next Jordan, the next Li Wan, the next Kobe, the next...
Who is not a gambler!
The Knicks kept the victory in the future, so even though the Magic adjusted the lineup and gave some players a chance to adapt, they still defeated New York 108 to 99 and won their 60th win tonight.
At the same time as the final whistle sounded, all Orlando people in the auditorium stood up, and there was a huge cheer in the arena.
The last time the Magic won 60 wins in a single season was in the 94-95 season. Unknowingly, 13 years have passed.They finally caught up with their former selves!
However, the Orlando media did not make a big report on the matter the next day.
They're suppressing their feelings...
Waiting for more exciting times to come.
This day did not keep them waiting.
On April 4, the Magic challenged the Toronto Raptors away.
All members of the Magic team knew what this game meant, so they played very excitedly from the beginning.
Chris Bosh met Lewis again misfiring.
Without him, the Raptors are gone...
As a result, the Magic team had opened up a 6-point difference at 5 minutes and 20 seconds in the third quarter of the game, and finally won by 100 points with a score of 81 to 19!
Their wins this season have also officially reached 61 wins...
This is the best record in the history of the Magic team!
"61 wins broke the historical record, this is the best era for the Magic!"
"Orlando welcomes a new OK combination, this time, stronger!"
"13 years later, the Magic team has set a new record in team history. This time, we have to go one step closer!"
……
Orlando Multimedia's media headlines on the second day were all news that the Magic had broken a franchise record.
The entire city of Orlando celebrated together, and there was even a fan parade...
The more you play, the more fun you get, and the fans square in front of the Amway Arena resounded in unison:
"Magic, the championship!"
"Magic, the championship!"
"Magic, the championship!"
Although it's a bit of a shame, the Orlando fans feel that God should understand why they are so excited!
This is 13 years!
The Magic continue their road trip.
On April 4, they came to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers.
Since the Magic basically have no hope of regaining the No. [-] spot in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers will most likely become their opponents in the semifinals of the playoffs.
For this game, Stan Van Gundy took it very seriously.
As a result, LeBron James only played in the first half of the game and didn't play for a minute in the second half. He sat on the bench and watched the Cavaliers lose to the Magic 1-88.
Mike Brown generously admitted after the game that for the upcoming playoffs, they don't want to expose too much.
When Li Wan heard this, he almost laughed out loud...
As far as you Mike Brown, what else is there but a set of "give the ball to LeBron"?
To be reasonable, with the Cavaliers lineup, changing someone, such as Popovich, can definitely play tricks.
That's Mike Brown, who abruptly made them pawns in LeBron's system.
but……
With LeBron's current ability, it seems that he can only play in his comfort zone.
In 2011, he couldn't adapt to the team's adjustments, and his style of play changed.
Now that he is only in 09, he is naturally even worse.
Didn't you see that when you didn't get the ball later, did it directly become "Zhan Yijie"?
In situations where LeBron has to hold the ball...
It is indeed difficult for others to express all their abilities.
After the Magic won the Cavaliers, the entire ranking of the Eastern Conference suddenly became clear.Li Wan then also entered the team's rotation.
During this period, Kevin Durant did a lot of work and scored 50 points in a single game. As a result, he became the only player to score 50 points in a single game twice this season.
Another person is LeBron James!
Kevin Durant's future suddenly looked brighter.
The media in Oklahoma called Li Wan on his behalf: "The battle for the best player in the 07 session is not over yet!"
The next day, Greg Oden scored 35 plus 15 and joined the "group chat".
The Portland media also said: "Yes, it's not over yet!"
On April 4, the Magic faced the Heat.
This is their fourth and final match this season.
Stan Van Gundy waved his hand, and Howard and Li Wan were placed on the bench.
When Cook knew the news, he was relieved, because Spoelstra also let Wade rest on the Heat's side.If the Magic team has a neat lineup, it might have to repeat the "69" tragedy.
Cook watched that game, and just watching it in front of the TV, he could feel the depression on the Hornets' bench.
In "Pecking Chickens", the game time is over.
The Magic narrowly beat the Heat by 100 to 94 by 6 points, and ended all the schedules of the 08-09 season with a victory at their own home court.
Their record is also fixed at this moment 64 wins and 18 losses...
Ranked second in the East.
This record is 5 more wins than the original Magic team without Li Wan!
The first place in the East belongs to the Celtics, and their final record was 65 wins and 17 losses.
The loss in the finals made this team even more eager for the championship, and they also won three more games than the Celtics in the same period.
After strengthening this summer, it has been favored by countless experts. Before the start of the new season, ESPN believed that the Cavaliers were the strongest under the Lakers, with a final record of 63 wins and 19 losses!
Originally, they were number one in the regular season in the league during this period.
66 wins and 16 losses.
However, the "butterfly effect" formed by the arrival of Li Wan made the Magic stronger and made the Celtics more eager for the championship.
The Cavaliers encountered more resistance, so that they lost 3 games more than they should have.
This score seems low, but in fact, the gold content is higher.
You know, there have been a total of 3 teams with 60 wins in the Eastern Conference this season!
In contrast, there is only one 60-win team in the West, and that is the Lakers...
66 wins and 16 losses!
They won 1 game more than their original contemporaries.
There is nothing to say about this. Even if the butterfly effect is not considered, it is normal to win an extra game or lose an extra game.
Do it all over again, who can guarantee that the result of each game will be the same as the original?
Li Wan played a total of 77 games this season.
Didn't play all 82 games...
场均数据定格在了23.9分6.4篮板7.2助攻1.8抢断1盖帽，投篮命中率47.2%，三分球命中率42.2%，罚球命中率88.8%。
相比新秀赛季的场均19.6分4.3篮板6.9助攻1抢断0.8盖帽。
It's really an all-round transformation!
Of course, the increase in most of the data is inseparable from his better physical fitness.
For example, the 6.4 rebounds are 3/1 faster than last season's. Has his rebounding awareness suddenly improved?
Do not!
Li Wan's rebounding awareness has always been very good.
It's just that his original eyes saw it, but his body couldn't keep up.
Similarly, stealing and blocking shots are all one thing.
The same opportunity, in front of his eyes, now he can grasp most of it with his super physical fitness; while in the first grade, he might even be used by his opponent instead.
The increase in assists is due to the increase in pass control ability on the one hand, and it is also related to the gradual increase in the number of games played by Li Wan, and the accumulation of experience and enrichment.
As for scoring...
Li Wan dared to pat his chest and say that he was definitely delayed by the Magic. If it were another team, he would have averaged at least 26 points per game this season!
But there are gains and losses...
Although he sacrificed part of his scoring, his efficiency has increased significantly.
This is not only due to his own strong personal ability, but also has a lot to do with the containment of his teammates.
It can't be that the low score is due to the hindrance of his teammates, and the high efficiency is purely because of Li Wan's own strength, right?
As long as he sees the remarks of "Winning Li Wan is awesome, losing teammate CBA" on his Twitter, he will always "delete and mute" a full set.
Although some teams in the league will promote their players in this way, in Li Wan's view, everyone in any team complements each other.
When some people were not teammates with you, they were all-stars and were in the third team of the league; when they became teammates with you, they became CBA...
Doesn't that mean that you don't have the ability to lead the team and can't make your teammates better?
Li Wan has always believed that he is a person who is awesome in himself and can make his teammates even better!
霍华德这个赛季最终的数据定格在了场均22.4分14篮板3盖帽1抢断以及1.6助攻。
All statistics have improved compared to his original period.
Especially the scoring average, which has increased by 2.4 points per game.
Li Wan: Look, this is what I said, make your teammates better!
He also became the final "rebound king" and "block king" this season...
This is the first time in his career that he has won the title of "Rebounding King" and the first time he has won the "Blocking King"...
Of course, as far as Li Wan knows, this season is the first time in Howard's career...
There are a lot more!
With the curtain of the regular season falling, the list of the first round of the playoffs of the NBA08~09 season has also been officially released.
The Boston Celtics, No. [-] in the East, have to face the dilapidated "Motor City"!
Allen Iverson fights Ray Allen again.
As soon as this headline came out, "Memory Killing" hit instantly.
The 01 playoffs was a year when Allen Iverson became a god.
And Ray Allen is a very bright stepping stone on his way to becoming a god.
Now the two meet again in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but it's a pity that things are different, and the 76ers logo on Allen Iverson has become the Detroit Pistons.
Ray = Allen is still so green.
Just changed from Bucks green to Celtics green.
The third-ranked Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference will face the sixth-ranked Heat in the Eastern Conference.
"Infighting in 03", LeBron vs. Wade, is another round of series that people look forward to.
The Eagles, fourth in the Eastern Conference, will face the fifth in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls with Derrick Rose.
The "Five Eagles of Civilians" encircled and suppressed the "Wind City Rose", and this round of the series was equally exciting.
Compared with these three rounds, the Magic's first round this year still has no gimmicks.
their opponents...
The seventh team in the Eastern Conference is the Philadelphia 76ers...
The roster composition of this team has hardly changed from last year.
So hard to find something to talk about.
It can't be the two "nervous knives" of Louis Williams vs Jamal Crawford, right?
Fortunately!
The Magic team has Li Wan who is making trouble. They believe that even if there is no gimmick now, there will definitely be a gimmick in the press conference later.
After finishing washing, Li Wan sat down at the conference site, adjusted the microphone, and looked at the familiar but unnamed reporters on the field, he couldn't help but secretly sighed: Time flies so fast.
Before you know it, another season has passed...
The reporter's question is still those questions, whether he is satisfied with his own performance this season and the team's final results.
After Li Wan gave a simple answer, an ESPN reporter stood up and said, "Li, in the first round of the playoffs, you will meet the Philadelphia 76ers. For this round of the series, I really want to know what score you predicted. ?”
Li Wan only hesitated for a moment before giving his own answer:
"I think it will be 4-0, but I respect their fighting spirit, so... it may take 5 games before we can solve this opponent!"
The reporters in the audience were stunned for a moment.
一开始李万说尊重76人的斗志，他们以为会是4比2，或者4比3.
result……
5 battles to resolve?
Is it just possible?
You call that "respect," don't you?
But after being dazed, their eyes were filled with excitement.
No matter what, the goal has been achieved anyway. They believe that when the guys from the Philadelphia 76ers know the news, they will definitely become angry from embarrassment.
This round of the series...
Have fun watching it!
At the same time, they admired Li Wan very much.
This kind of ability to break the opponent's defense with a single sentence, ordinary people really don't have it!
At the same time in Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant, Westbrook and head coach Brooks sat in a row and were also conducting a press conference.
It's just different from the Magic's press conference.
All their problems are related to next season.
21 wins and 61 losses.
This is the first season after the Sonics changed their name to the Thunder and moved to Oklahoma City.
It's no longer a question of whether it's not bad, it's just a mess.
But the Oklahoma media are very satisfied with this record.
This allows the Thunder to select another high-ranking player to enter the Thunder this summer to form the "Three Young Thunder".
Look at "Big Brother" Kevin Durant, who has just finished his second season of his career, averaging 26.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
The three shooting percentages are: 47.8%, 42.3%, and 86.3%.
Among them, the scoring average ranks fourth in the league, second only to Wade, LeBron, Kobe...
Speaking of the 07 class, everyone's mouth is full of Li Wan.
As everyone knows, above Li Wan, there are even more powerful people!
They believe that in time, Kevin Durant will prove who is the fiercest man in 07!
Kevin Durant...
I thought so too!
Especially after he scored his second 4-plus game in a single game of the season on April 8, he became even more certain about this idea.
Facing the media, he said impassionedly: "This is not a successful season, but I believe that we will have a bright future. I believe in myself, my teammates, and the management!"
After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at "A Gui" next to him, his eyes were full of love.
Don't think about it!
It's the kind of love a brother has for a brother...
His "second brother" is really great, especially after entering 09, as he got more used to the league, he played even better. Finally, after the whole season, his data was 15.8 points per game 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.3 steals!
Whether it is scoring, assists or steals, they are all in the forefront of the 08 class.
In terms of statistics alone, there is really not much difference between Derrick Rose, who was first in the first round, and OJ Mayo, who was third in the first round.
Kevin Durant feels that Russell is like himself last year. Although he is not the final "best rookie", in terms of performance, he is definitely qualified to win this award.
With such a "second brother", why not worry about the great cause!
He looked at Westbrook, and the media in the audience also looked at Westbrook at this time.
The future "Turtle" is now more adaptable to these spotlights. Facing the eyes of everyone, he is not at all afraid, and said: "This season is very new to me. I feel that I am adapting to it. After this season, I have not done my best in many aspects, and I have a lot of areas to improve, so... I look forward to the arrival of next season, and I will let everyone see more changes!"
Who told me not to have a reliable "big brother"!
This is Westbrook's last sentence, said silently in his heart... Judging from the two games between the Thunder and the Magic, his "big brother" can't really beat Li Wan on the other side!
Everything is on your own!
This "humility" satisfied Kevin Durant, who was sitting next to him.
Check it out!
Check it out!
Look at the humble appearance of my second brother!
To be honest, there are too many people, otherwise, he would have to take a bite of Westbrook's face.
How about...
From minute to minute, everything is wonderful!
Kevin Durant may not have imagined that Westbrook would yell at him one day in the future: "Don't talk to this **** nigger!"
Not to mention the reporters in Oklahoma.
They really almost shouted: "Everyone in the alliance is waiting, after three years, the Son of Thunder will definitely rule the entire alliance!"
You must know that Kevin Durant and Westbrook are not all of the Thunder...
The Thunder still have a high pick this summer!
Since general manager Sam Presti has succeeded in scratching the prize twice, it is not difficult to bring another super talent to Oklahoma City, right?
In case there is a "No. [-] lottery" and Griffin, the "Heaven's Chosen One" of the University of Oklahoma, is selected...
OMG!
The media reporters in Oklahoma are getting high just thinking about it...
"If this year's best rookie is not OJ-Mayo, I will feel that it is really unfair. He is definitely the best rookie of this year. Anyone who has watched his game will be convinced of this!"
In Memphis, Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace is actively soliciting votes for his "Baby Gada" to be elected "Rookie of the Year".
Throughout the season, OJ Mayo, known as the "combination of Jordan and Kobe", averaged 18.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1 steal per game...
His scoring average is the highest among the entire 08 rookies!
Seriously speaking, the data is really not hip, and it is worthy of the bragging of those experts before the draft.
Therefore, Chris Wallace is boastful, and OJ Mayo sitting next to him is also full of complacency.I couldn't help but nodded slightly: Yes, yes, Chris Wallace is right!
I am the most different fireworks in 08!
"Best rookie", who else but me!
Chris Wallace obviously didn't know there was such a saying:
The result of doting on a child is to kill the child...
Mike Conley in the locker room was not so happy.
He had just finished an interview with only two or three reporters around him. ——oj-Mayo's outstanding performance made him, last year's No. [-] pick in the first round, a little wild flower that no one cares about in Memphis.
However, he really couldn't bear the slightest dissatisfaction.
Compared with oj-Mayo who surrendered 18.5 points, 3.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in his rookie season.
Entering the second season of his career, Mike Conley averaged 11 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Among them, the average score per game increased by 0.6 points, the average assist per game increased by 0.1, and the average steal per game increased by 0.2.
We can't say that there is no progress, we can only say that it is not obvious...
Saying "turtle speed" may have insulted "turtle speed"!
With his speed of improvement, I don't know if his career is over, whether he can hit the data of OJ-Mayo's rookie season.
Some people were born in Rome, some people have always been cattle and horses.
Mike Conley, who was born in a sports family, felt inferior for the first time...
Or maybe it's not the first time I feel like this...
这个赛季结束，李万场均23.9分6.4篮板7.2助攻1.8抢断1盖帽，华丽程度自不必说；
Greg Oden, averaged 18.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, a significant increase compared to last season;
Just Cook, like him, only has a slow increase, currently averaging 9.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per game...
But the problem is...
Cook's team status is there, just a substitute, he can say that he has no playing time, what can Conley say?
the most important……
The Magic are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference and the Trail Blazers are third in the Western Conference...
Even the Heat are fifth in the Eastern Conference...
— Mike, are you coming to the playoffs?
— Mike, are you coming to the playoffs?
— Mike, are you coming to the playoffs?
Looking at the neat text message format, Mike Conley suddenly felt that Memphis was so cold this winter, much colder than when he came last year!
He really didn't expect that he was the first to fall behind among the "Four Little Ones of Ohio"!
That's why I'm unhappy, right?
Mike Conley suddenly figured it out...
Compared with the brilliance of OJ-Mayo, he is more afraid that he will not be able to catch up with his former college teammates.
Especially, back then he was the second person under Greg.
Just wait and see!
Next season, I will definitely catch up!
The depression on Mike Conley's face faded away, replaced by a drive full of desire.
He decided to enter the special training starting tomorrow.
And he thought about it, he wanted to find a senior who was similar to him in terms of physical fitness and height, and study hard. ——As for who to look for, he already has a target, and asked his father to help him get in touch.
As children of a sports family, what their family lacks most is contacts in the sports world.
It's just that in the past, although Mike Conley had a restrained personality, he also had an arrogance in his bones, and he didn't think he would be inferior to players of the same type.
But now, the blows of two consecutive seasons, and the speed of progress of the rest of Ohio, caused a sense of crisis, so he decided to let go of this self-esteem...
The phone was turned on, and it contained a message from his father.
The first is the number, the second is the name of the contact person...
It is none other than "Bug" Tim Hardaway, who will be retired by the Heat at the beginning of the new season next year!
As the originator of the NBA's crotch change, Tim Hardaway's height is only 1 meters, but he scored an average of 83 points per game at his peak!
And scoring ability is exactly what Conley lacks now...
The next morning, when Li Wan woke up, he glanced at the news on the Internet.
Very lively.
Especially the discussion about "Best Rookie" is more intense than imagined!
At this stage of the season, the probability of the rookies on the shortlist getting the "best rookie" is actually very clear.
It's just that this debate involved something else...
The Chicago media saw Chris Wallace's remarks at the press conference and unceremoniously counterattacked: "The best rookie belongs to OJ-Mayo? To be honest, when the Bulls enter the playoffs, the discussion on this point It has ended!"
The Memphis media was right: "Really? Then you should really look at the original Carmelo Anthony!"
In the beginning, it was just the Chicago media that was fighting with Memphis.
But when the media in Memphis mentioned Carmelo Anthony back then, the media in Cleveland were not calm... What is it about LeBron that you are arguing about you?
The Denver media responded aggressively like a hornet that was stabbed and flew out of a hornet's nest: "No matter how many years have passed, there will still be media reporters who remember that Carmelo Anthony was the best rookie when he was hacked!"
Don't blame them for being so angry. At that time, Carmelo Anthony's data was not bad compared with LeBron's. Not to mention the record. playoffs.
Originally, the Denver media believed that no matter what, Anthony could share the "Best Rookie".
But at last...
Lost!
Carmelo Anthony has found the reason for his lackluster performance in the second season. Anyone who is targeted by the league will feel unhappy and feel a little discouraged, right?
Fortunately, our "Guagua" has survived now!
Take a look at the rankings of the Nuggets this season!
Second in the Western Conference, overwhelming the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Rockets and other strong teams!
They waited for 5 years, and finally "it's ripe"...
"But the league owes Cameron, what do you have to pay back!"
The media in Denver were so excited, the media in Cleveland didn't budge.
After going back and forth like this, people from all directions fought together.
The tearing was so intense.
"Yes, yes, why not the best rookie with the highest score?"
"When does the best rookie depend on the team's record? Isn't it always based on statistics?"
"I think the league should pay attention to this. It's not anyone who enters the league with a strong team!"
"I always think that the best rookie of last season should belong to Kevin Durant. Lee has so many good teammates, what does Kevin have? Kevin only has himself!"
In a room in Oklahoma, there was the sound of crackling keyboards.
Kevin Durant, already on vacation, looked at this topic like he was on a stimulant.Switched seven or eight trumpets, voiced for OJ-Mayo, and "by the way" voiced for himself.
It was also this farce that caused everyone to focus on the final result of this year's "Best Rookie".
They all want to know, who can win the final "Best Rookie" between OJ Mayo, who has the highest scoring average rookie list, and Derrick Rose, who has more comprehensive data and better team record!
4 month 14 day.
On the second day after the end of the regular season of the 08-09 season, the official announcement of the long-awaited league announced the final result: Derrick Rose became the "Rookie of the Season" in the 08-09 season!
His election made the Denver media jump on their feet, asking the official loudly: "So, where did Carmelo Anthony lose?"
Naturally, the alliance will not issue a special announcement for some old things.
Moreover, as the final results came out, the eyes of attention also dispersed.
What they care about is just a few bowls of "noodles". As for whether the final result will make people feel wronged...
As long as they are not wronged, it doesn't matter at all!
It was also at this time that the Philadelphia 76ers' response to Li Wan's words came into the eyes of the outside world.
Andre Miller said bluntly: "Obviously Lee doesn't really understand what our fighting spirit looks like, otherwise, he would never say such big words!"
This reply was clearly targeted, and it also made this round of the series a bit more exciting and aggressive.
It's just that the media in Philadelphia are a little disappointed that...
The 76ers player they expect to stand up and respond to Li Wan is not Andre Miller, but another Andre-Andre Iguodala!
After all, it was for him that the Philadelphia 76ers made the decision to send away Allen Iverson.
Now that three seasons have passed, the transformation of Iguodala they were looking forward to has still not happened...
Iguodala finally said in their questioning: "We will prove that the 76ers are not as weak as he thought..."
These words left the Philadelphia media speechless for a while.
This is called a response?
You just ask him for help!
Forget it, don't reply in the future!
It was also at this time that they finally thought of a possibility: Iguodala's character might not be suitable to be the boss of the team, and perhaps Allen Iverson should have been kept as the boss in the first place...
at last……
The playoffs of the 08-09 season kicked off.
The opening game is coming on April 4th!
The four matchups on the first day of the playoffs are...
East: Celtics vs. Pistons;
Cavaliers vs Heat;
West: Nuggets vs Hornets;
Spurs vs Rockets;
1 words are here, brothers, can you count the votes?
