PFC Chapter 125
Chapter 125
Chapter 125
The Magic's targeted training is in full swing.
In the past two days, the east and west have become more and more chaotic, and it is almost a mess.
Let’s talk about the Rockets, who have won the previous two games and have a high probability of being a "black seven".
Tracy McGrady was affected by the sprain. As expected, he did not play in the third game of the series. In this game, Dayao was alone. Although he scored 25 points and 12 rebounds, he still lost the game.
After the game, there were many controversies, all of which went towards McGrady.
The Houston media is very dissatisfied with not doing anything with the Rockets' highest salary.
For this reason, the Rockets and McGrady had to hold a special press conference. In order to prove his innocence, McGrady even showed his injured ankle to the media.
Indeed, it can still be seen that the swelling is severe.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal, and the "Houston Chronicle" published an article calling McGrady a "weak deserter."
This is the most official and most popular newspaper in Houston.
For a while, there were many radical voices among the fans...
However, McGrady chose a truce in the fourth game of the series, and the Hornets pulled back another game at the Rockets' home court.
The big score was 2-2.
Seeing that last year's tragedy is about to be staged again, the whole Houston is boiling, but all Houston fans have more or less great opinions on Tracy McGrady.
The crucial fifth game will start at the New Orleans Arena, and the Houston media condemned like crazy, trying to force him to play. ——They are standing on the commanding heights of public opinion, and McGrady can't see their faces clearly...
At the same time, the game between the Jazz and the Mavericks is becoming more and more fierce. Whoever wins this game will win the next game. The "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" is obviously in sight.
Coupled with the upcoming "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" between the Celtics and the Eagles...
In the first round, three teams drew 2-2 in the first four games.
It also includes the Celtics who have been leading the regular season record list before!
I'm afraid when the preseason began, no one expected that the first round of the playoffs would be so intense, right?
and this……
It's the playoffs!
Some are happy and some are sad...
Their situation is unknown, but the Lakers escaped from Denver and took the Nuggets away 4-0, becoming the first team in the first round of the Western Conference and the first team to advance.
George Karl obviously bullied honest people like Curry. Facing the Lakers, when the Nuggets fell into a disadvantage, he didn't arrange any shady tricks.
Watching the Nuggets lose Game 18 of the series by [-] points!
The Lakers returned to the second round of the playoffs after three seasons...
The buzzer sounded, and Kobe gave his teammates high fives one by one, but compared to the appearance of others, his face was a little less smiling.Ariza, who was still smiling happily, couldn't laugh anymore.
This……
What a freak!
Aren't you happy to be promoted?
If he asked Kobe, Kobe would definitely tell him: "If your goal is a championship, then it's too early to laugh now..."
Easy to laugh until next season.
In addition, the Spurs lead the Suns 3-1.
The arrival of Shaq did not produce the chemical reaction that Steve Kerr wanted. On the contrary, because of the drag of this "fat shark", the speed of the Suns' offensive and defensive transitions was seriously delayed.
Facing the Spurs who eliminated them last season, the Suns have a "revenge heart", but they can only watch the opponent open the score.
As for the remaining two teams in the East...
The Wizards with Arenas failed to stop the Cavaliers last year, let alone the Wizards without the "General" now. The Cavaliers won the third game of the series under the noses of the Washington fans and advanced ,a step far!
The Pistons and the 76ers also came to the score of 3-1, winning the 76ers in the first game, allowing the Pistons to win three games in a row.
To say that the guys from the 76ers obviously haven't played mahjong, or they must know...
I'd rather be scratched by a thousand knives than be the first!
As the opponents in the second round were gradually determined to be the Pistons, the training atmosphere of the entire Magic team suddenly became more serious and a little hotter.
Sharpen the knife to the piston.
The Magic didn't expect the Philadelphia 76ers to knock the Pistons out.
They hope to meet the Pistons in the second round and complete their revenge!
It may be difficult to play, but this is the transformation path of the strong. Only by defeating the impeccable Pistons in their eyes, can they move forward even more!
and so……
Pistons...
Hurry up and beat the 76ers, let's get beaten!
The Philadelphia 76ers didn't want to lose this round of the series so quickly. In the fifth game of their series against the Pistons, the guys who came back to Detroit broke out and successfully pulled back a big score of 3 -2!
Although the next road is still difficult, they need to win two more games to reverse the victory and complete the "Black Seven", but there is fire in their eyes!
They scored 3-2!
The other three groups of "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" also had their final resolution.
The Celtics returned to the home court with all the right tastes. Once again, they easily "boiled the Eagles" with a big score. The Los Angeles media immediately issued an article: Atlanta is gone.
In the minds of the Boston media, there are tens of thousands of mud horses roaring past...
Facts have proved that their aggressive method is of no use to Denver, that is, a bunch of "sugar people" who cannot be supported.
But Los Angeles' aggressive approach to Atlanta really worked. Didn't you see these "little hawks" leaving the North Shore Garden Plaza one by one, with dissatisfaction written on their faces?
The Celtics will go to Atlanta in the next game, it is estimated that it will still be a tough battle...
west coast.
The Hornets captured the "Tianwang Mountain", McGrady still did not play, the Rockets, leading 2-0, lost three games in a row, and are currently trailing 2-3.
The media in Houston is going crazy.
The words are becoming more and more vicious...
The Jazz had the last laugh in the "Tie Five" against the Mavericks.
Johnson's face gradually became a little more disturbed.
The Mavericks sent Harris away during the All-Star Weekend, which is a signal.
If the big change doesn't work, it means that the head coach is going to leave get out of class...
If you fail, someone has to stand up and take the blame, right?
The first round of the playoffs gradually came to fruition.
During this period, the league announced the season's "Best Sixth Man Award" and "Most Improved Player Award".
The previous award belongs to the Argentine Manu Ginobili who is gradually becoming bald, averaging 19.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
"Demon Sword" is still in the best state of his career!
Speaking of which, although he is already the most famous "sixth man of the team" in the NBA, it is the first time that Ginobili has won the "Best Sixth Man" award.
Last season, which was originally very popular, was finally robbed by Barbosa.
The interesting point is that last season Barbosa beat Ginobili with around 50% of the votes with around 25% of the votes; this season Ginobili also beat Barbosa with around 50% of the votes.
The "Most Improved Player Award" belongs to Rudy Gay.
Turkoglu's data has dropped a bit since Li Wan came, averaging only 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, which is not much different from the original data.
But originally he also defeated Rudy Gay with a slight advantage.
Rudy Gay, who averaged only 10 points per game last season, has doubled his scoring average this season and reached the passing line of an All-Star player, averaging 20 points per game.
He was also Turkoglu's biggest opponent. As Turkoglu's data declined, he successfully completed the comeback at the end of the season.
Turkoglu has long been mentally prepared, but when everything happens, it will inevitably be a little bit sad.
This is the first time he has been so close to a certain award since he entered the league...
But the sadness is the sadness, he is quite open-minded on the surface, when others comfort him, his answer is probably similar to "I'm lucky if I get it, but my life is lost".
Li Wan analyzed the award for him:
"Look at Tracy McGrady, the winner of this award in 00, who is now full of scars. O'Neal, the winner of 01, is also full of scars. Arenas, the winner of 02, is reimbursed for this season. Zach Randolph, the winner of 03, has become Rubbish contract, Bobby Simmons, the winner of 04, is full of scars, and Dior, the winner of 06, became a substitute in the second year after winning this award. Si, I just won this award, nothing unexpected..."
"Do you think your life can be tougher than theirs?"
When Turkoglu heard Li Wan's words, he felt a little guilty.
People in China are very superstitious, and people abroad are even more superstitious because of the freedom of education.
Take Michael Jordan, he wore those North Carolina shorts his entire career...
why?
Just because he believes that these pants are the switch for him to turn on the "God Avatar" mode.
What's more, Li Wan wasn't lying to him. This award did carry a "curse" in the first ten years of the 21st century.
Let's just talk about Turkoglu who originally won this award...
Although the Magic made it to the finals in the second year after winning this award, and signed a big contract with the Raptors in the summer, Turkoglu quickly lost himself in the cold Toronto, and soon faded out of the league.
As for the "Most Improved Player" in 09, Danny Granger, needless to say, the peak also fell due to injuries.
So in Li Wan's view, this award, if you can't get it, don't get it.
It's not a fun thing.
The more Turkoglu thought about it, the more he felt chills down his back, and he felt grateful for his survival after the catastrophe.
he thinks……
Li Wan is right!
Ever since, his mind changed.
Gain my life, lose my luck!
Now, the mood is completely open-minded...
The Memphis media warmly celebrated Rudy Gay becoming the first player in Grizzlies history to win the "Most Improved Player Award"!
You see, this ancestor is not rich, and being a group leader is a great thing for the ancestral grave to smoke!
If this were in Los Angeles...
Unless the person who won this award is Li Wan.
Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be very few reports...
On April 4th, in the sixth game of the Celtics-Atlanta series, the Hawks, who returned to the home court again, showed their "young and unlimited" attitude, various youthful offense and defense, tough With 25 points behind, Shengsheng defended his home court.
Here comes the first "tie-break" of the 07-08 season playoffs!
It actually happened in the series between No. [-] in the Eastern Conference and No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.
"If the Celtics "Big Three" are "black eight" in the first season, it will become the biggest joke in NBA history! "
"The heart of a champion can't match the drive of young people?Who would have thought that the Celtics would play a tiebreaker in the first round of the playoffs! "
"Is the second "black eight" after the first round of NBA reform coming?This time in the East? "
……
When the conclusion of the sixth game between the Eagles and the Celtics was finalized, the public opinion of the outside world changed suddenly.
The media, who were originally more optimistic about the Celtics, turned their guns and shouted, "After the first round of reforms in the playoffs, the first black eight in the Eastern Conference will be born."
Even the Los Angeles media, which had been criticizing the Eagles before, changed their previous harshness towards Atlanta, saying bluntly: "Great battles always come unexpectedly. A youthful storm from Atlanta has blown into Boston!"
No wonder the attitude of the media has changed...
In any round of the series, when it comes to the crucial seventh game, any paper advantage will not count.
The most important test of the "tie-break" is momentum!
And now, after winning the sixth game, the Eagles, who are close to the "tie-break", and the Celtics, who have a "championship heart" and regard this season as "the last hope of winning the championship".
Which side has more fighting spirit and passion, and which side has more pressure, the answer is self-evident.
On the same night, the Rockets and the Hornets ushered in the sixth game of the series. This game was at the Rockets' home court...
Maddie...
On it!
Just like what Li Wan knew, he entered the game under the guise of being closed!
For the first time, there were some different emotions in his sleepy eyes.
That is a kind of determination!
It is better for fighters to stand up and die on the court than to sit on the court and listen to the crazy boos of the audience...
the most important……
The number on the bank card reminded McGrady that he had a debt from Houston to pay back!
This battle is not only to prove that he is a fighter and will not just watch the team lose, but more importantly, the money and love will be settled, and there will be no more debts!
As for the effect on the body...
Fuck it!
The "Yao-Mac Combination" teamed up again, sacrificing all of McGrady, plus the invincible insider Yao Ming, they successfully defended the home court and won by 97 to 82, 15 points.
McGrady looked at the timer that had returned to zero, and the determination in his eyes still did not retreat.
He has risked his career, how can he not break his "virgin status"?
Hornets and Rockets, the first "tie-break" of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs is about to start.
What's interesting is that winning over there is a "black eight", and winning here is a "black seven"!
In the first round of the 07-08 season, the east and west were in a mess...
The Jazz defeated the Mavericks in the sixth game, eliminated their opponents 4-2, and advanced to the next round.
In the second round of the playoffs, their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers who have rested for four days and are ready to fight!
On April 4, the other three groups also had their results.
Western.
In the case of the Spurs 3-1, the Suns won a game at home, but when it came to Phoenix, they also successfully took away the victory in the away game.
By the way, I also sent the Suns back to go fishing.
4-2!
The Spurs entered the second round of the playoffs for the eighth consecutive year.
In fact, after getting Tim Duncan, the Spurs fell in the first round of the playoffs in the 99-00 season, and the others at least entered the second round...
The only year that fell in the first round of the playoffs...
Tim Duncan is injured...
Yes, he didn't fight!
This is Tim Duncan's ability to lead the team!
Later, among the five positions in the NBA, there were only two undisputed positions, one was shooting guard, and the other was power forward.
Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan, compared to other people in the same position, the dominance of the two people is really incomparable...
The powerful Tim Duncan also made the Spurs an "alternative dynasty" in NBA history.
east.
The Cavaliers defeated the Wizards 4-2.
The moment the team was eliminated, Arenas suddenly "fired" at the management: "I'm tired of the team losing to the Cavaliers!"
The management of the Wizards team was stunned, and the reporters on the scene looked at each other...
No!
You are reimbursed for the season and haven't played a game. What are you tired of?
It is said that Arenas's mind has never been normal since this time.
But the Wizards fans are very tolerant of Arenas.
This matter has to be traced back a long time ago, when Michael Jordan announced his third comeback, which made the Wizards stand at the center of public opinion in the NBA.
When they heard that the "God of Basketball" was going to return to the Wizards, a group of Washingtonians were excited. After all, this team has no championship in team history, and isn't Michael Jordan the best at winning championships?
It can be said that the sense of anticipation was full at once.
As a result, after two years of flying around, what Michael Jordan left for the entire Washington was a feather in the ground.
It was also at this time that Arenas arrived. With his explosive personal performance, flamboyant style of play, and his ability to lead the team, Washington's "feather from all over the place" flew into the sky.
Since then, the Arenas has become a symbol of the city.
Almost anything he said, the Wizards fans followed up and said "Arenas is right"!
This time is no exception.
When the Wizards fans heard that Arenas was upset, one by one, like "licking the dog", they made a fuss outside the arena for half the night.
Another set of Eastern Conference matchups played together the same night.
The Pistons and the Philadelphia 76ers, which the Magic are most concerned about, also decided the outcome.
Philadelphia failed to hold its own home...
4-2!
The Detroit Pistons advance to the next round.
their opponents...
Li Wan and the Magic!
"It's interesting now!"
In the TNT studio, Barkley was already looking forward to the game.
Li Wan had conflicts with Rasheed Wallace during the regular season.
The Pistons beat the Lakers in February was also marked by many live broadcast platforms.
Only after the All-Star Weekend, Li Wan moved to Orlando. The Magic had played against the Pistons three times in the regular season, and in the end, Li Wan failed to have a regular season rematch with Wallace.
Originally, some media felt sorry.
just now……
Sorry it's all gone!
Yes, more expectations, because the conflict between the two teams became deeper during the first round of the playoffs!
After the game, Rasheed Wallace didn’t evade the reporter’s challenge at all, showing the unrestrained smile of “Roaring Tianzun” on the court: “Actually, I hope the second round will start tomorrow, yes Yes, I don’t think we need to rest at all when we play the Magic, you know, when we reached the finals, many people on this Magic team have not yet entered the league!”
"They don't know what this league is like yet!"
"But it's okay, they will soon know what the top team in the East needs to have! Basketball doesn't lie, don't think that sweeping the Raptors can provoke the Pistons."
"Little rookies, you are still far behind!"
……
"Is it still far away? I think Rasheed Wallace may still be living in his own world..."
This time Li Wan didn't pretend he didn't see it.
Rasheed Wallace's provocation reached his ears, and he responded unceremoniously.
"Let a guy who can only break through score 25 points in overtime in the fourth quarter. Such an insider should be ashamed to commit suicide! O'Neal's grandma is probably better than him!"
"The Pistons didn't make it to the Finals last year, and Rasheed Wallace should be largely responsible!"
"He's a criminal in Detroit!"
This knife is very accurate.
LeBron James said it would be better if it didn't hurt him, a pure passerby.
"Cleveland Candide" really wants to reply, but "Ohio State News" has been watching there. I heard that Li Wan will go back to school this summer to participate in the jersey retirement ceremony, whether it is tied to Ohio University or Ohio State. Definitely deeper.
They don't want to hear the "Ohio State Journal" ask "what champion are you"...
The Cleveland media ultimately chose to remain silent.
Since LeBron James came to Cleveland, the media in this border town has been very excited. It is rare to see them deflated. They did not expect to meet Li Wan and be subdued.
And Rasheed Wallace went completely berserk...
But on April 4, the eyes of the outside world were still focused on Boston and New Orleans.
There, each battle that could change the fate of a dozen players is about to start.
Tonight's North Shore Garden was a bit more chill than usual.
Boston's "Big Three" are more serious than the last.
Serious yet decisive...
There is no way for them to retreat. Tonight's battle will determine whether they can continue their journey this season, or become a laughing stock!
They were under a lot of pressure in the first battle where everything was gambled, and it also made them look ruthless when they saw the Eagles on the opposite side.
Before this round of the series, who would have thought that these "chicks" could push them to this extent...
but!
everything is over!
It must end!
Compared with their solemnity, the young Eagles are more excited.
Some history needs to be rewritten, why not us?
"Eagle" can also spread its wings and soar!
The two completely different expressions evoked two completely different states. --The Eagles are full of fighting spirit, and the Celtics...
Full of blood!
live to die...
In the end, blood vigor overcame fighting spirit.
because……
Even losing at this time is an acceptable ending for the young Eagles. After all, they fought seven bloody games against the No. [-] Celtics in the Eastern Conference!
So, 89 to 81, when the final whistle sounded, the first reaction of the Celtics was to breathe a sigh of relief. They finally came out of the situation where there was no way out...
As for the Eagles... They had regrets in their eyes, but they still comforted their teammates with high fives.
They've done a great job.
Although the "Black Eight" failed to be staged in the end, the Eagles were labeled by many experts: one of the Eastern Conference powerhouses next season!
They believe that after this battle, the "young eagle" has transformed into an eagle!
The "Big Three" in Boston also thought so, and sent their blessings to their counterparts one after another; "The future is yours!"
The inheritance of the alliance may all start from this moment.
Compared to here, the atmosphere in New Orleans is different...
McGrady gave him another shot to seal it off.
Second stitch!
The appearance is tragic and tragic.
The Rockets know from top to bottom, from the players to the head coach, that this game must be won.
This victory is McGrady's explanation to the Houstonians, and it is also the explanation of the rest of the Rockets to McGrady!
Such a belief...
The Hornets don't have one.
Chris Paul frowned, couldn't shout, dropped the ball many times, and could only watch the Rockets take the victory from their home court.
Tie-break...
The Rockets won!
Although not as difficult as "Black Eight".
But "Black Seven" is also rare!
the most important……
"Yao Mai combination" took off the hat of "failed in the first round".
Especially Maddie!
After the sentence "If it was last year, I would already be thinking about my opponent in the second round", stopping in the first round has become a shackle hanging over his head.
just now……
He can finally let go!
Along with the debt owed to Houston.
Two needles closed, in exchange for the Rockets to advance to the second round.
This is the hardest moment of McGrady's career. The difference from the original one is that this time the process is tragic, but the result is undoubtedly good!
In front of the media after the game, he also announced without burden that he would not continue to play in the second round of the playoffs.
"I think I need a break..."
McGrady chuckled lightly after he finished speaking, because he saw worry on the faces of reporters from the Houston media again.
I don't know if he is worried about the consequences of his two injections, or what the Rockets will do in the second round without him.
who cares……
There is still only one sentence in Maddie's mind:
Fuck him Houston!
Li Wan also saw the news about the Rockets' "Black Seven" the next day.
Not surprisingly, when McGrady decided to play closed, the Rockets actually had no suspense against the Hornets.
Playing the Rockets must make Yao Ming uncomfortable, otherwise it will be really difficult to suppress them.
The Hornets can't do that at all.
现在他唯一的疑惑就是，原本的麦迪打了6针封闭，拿整个职业生涯换了一场悲壮的演出。08~09赛季35场比赛还是场均贡献了15分。
Only 2 shots this time...
Will it be better?
Li Wan didn't know about this. Anyway, he knew that Ding Yan Yuhang had been blocked by an injection, and his entire career would be over.
So there seems to be no difference between two needles and six needles.
With the promotion of the Rockets, the first round of the eight-group matchup in the 07-08 season playoffs has completely come to fruition.
In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers played the Jazz and the Rockets played the "Texas Civil War" against the Spurs.
The Eastern Conference semifinalists are the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons.
Among them, the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons will start the first game of the series at the home court of the Detroit Pistons tonight.
The Magic have been adjusting for two days in Detroit.
Ok……
At the same time, I also played mouth guns for two days.
The smell of gunpowder filled Detroit.
From the perspective of public opinion, the outside world is more optimistic about Detroit.
Rasheed Wallace was disdainful of Li Wan and the Magic, but he was right in one sentence. When the Pistons played in the Finals, many Magic players hadn't even entered the league.
Their worst record in the following years was also the Eastern Conference Finals.
Their background and experience are not comparable to Li Wan and the Magic.
And the playoffs...
Isn't the comparison the background and experience?
"Damn it, wait to be beaten and cry!"
"You'll soon learn how stupid it is to provoke Detroit, ****!"
"**clown, you suck!"
……
Apparently, Li Wan's talk with Rasheed Wallace made Detroit people hate him. When Li Wan walked out of the visiting team's tunnel with his Magic teammates, the Pistons fans didn't attack Howard. He didn't attack Turkoglu either, all the boos and swear words were directed at Li Wan.
Li Wan waved his hands towards them: "Thank you, thank you, I rarely feel like a star."
After speaking, he gave a thumbs up to the person who booed him the most.
"You can be more excited!"
His shout should have been heard by the fan, and he immediately couldn't restrain his inner restlessness, leaned forward with his whole body, and excitedly pointed the middle finger at Li Wan, but his body leaned too far out, and A bunch of Pistons fans behind him were also excited.
After a burst of pushing and shaking, he fell directly from the fans stands.
The one facing the ground...
The exclamation was drowned in the endless boos.
Pistons fans minus 1.
"So, don't get excited as a human being." Li Wan used this incident to tell Bogans a truth about being a human being.
Bogans nodded blankly.
The mentality of this newcomer stunned him, an honest man.
It also gave him a new understanding of the word "fearless"...
People in Detroit love this team very much, much more than Li Wan thought.
The booing at the moment, he thought it was the limit,
Really big!
I can't stand it anymore!
But I didn't expect that when Rasheed Wallace came on the stage, following his provocative actions, the boos of these guys towards Li Wan suddenly became louder.
Rasheed Wallace walked to the center of the field with a grim expression, and waved to Li Wan. ——He saw that Li Wan would always provoke Chris Bosh like this before the game against the Toronto Raptors.
He deliberately imitated, trying to provoke Li Wan's anger.
Seeing him waving, Li Wan almost laughed out loud.
This is also the one who came to help me unlock the badge.
Although he couldn't say it, Li Wan still expressed his gratitude to Rasheed Wallace in his heart.
"Rookie, don't be afraid, this is just a meeting ceremony!" Wallace signaled the booing from the sidelines, "You will know soon, as a rookie, you are too arrogant!"
The corner of Li Wan's mouth twitched: "Then Milicic's attitude is considered good? I think he should be doing well now..."
The name "Milisic" made Wallace feel a lump in his chest.
When Larry Brown PUA Milicic, he watched from the sidelines and pretended not to see it.
"in addition……"
Li Wan's words continued.
"I also prepared a meeting gift for you, just wait!"
After speaking, he smiled provocatively again, turned around and returned to the Magic team's bench.
Pistons fans in front of the bench immediately booed him loudly.
They didn't know what Wallace had said to Li Wan.But seeing Wallace's ugly expression, and the calmness on Li Wan's face when he returned to the bench, they also knew that this "conversation" ended in Wallace's failure again.
Wallace was about to grit his teeth as he watched Li Wan walking towards the bench.
"OK, guys, after adjusting for so long, this day is finally here. I've been listening to the boos for half an hour. I'll get up later. I hope you can stop the boos right away."
"I don't like such a noisy away game!"
Stan Van Gundy's tone was full of confidence. He looked at the five people in front of him with an expression as relaxed as possible.
But deep in the eyes, there is still unstoppable solemnity.
After all, this is a veteran team in the Eastern Conference that has reached the Eastern Conference Finals for 5 consecutive years.
There is another championship trophy in hand.
It's definitely not comparable to the "little three" of the Raptors.
He said it harshly, but in fact it was more that he wanted such a thing to happen.
If the Magic start with an advantage, the game will be much easier to play.
Once at a disadvantage, I'm afraid that "dead memories" will immediately attack the players of the Magic team.
The good news is that everyone on the upcoming Orlando Magic is in good shape.
Needless to say, Li Wan...
Stan Van Gundy hasn't seen him nervous since he came to Orlando.
The faces of other players are more motivated!
The revenge that was swept away last year should be repaid this year!
The big screen at the scene gave the starting lineups of both sides at this time:
Pistons: Billups at No. [-], Richard Hamilton at No. [-], Tayshaun Prince at No. [-], Antonio McDyess at No. [-], Rasheed Wallace at No. [-] ;
Magic: Li Wan at No. [-], Bogans at No. [-], Turkoglu at No. [-], Lewis at No. [-], Howard at No. [-];
"There is no change on both sides tonight, and it is still the usual lineup this season."
In the cctv-5 studio, Yu Jia saw that the players still had some time to play, so he asked Director Zhang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, "Director Zhang, what do you think the Magic needs to do well if they want to win tonight? "
Director Zhang let out a familiar "ah" first, and then barked his teeth and claws: "I think the Magic team should do a good job of defense tonight, and then play a good job of their own offense. Ah, as long as the Magic team can defend their opponents and they can score, then We will be able to win this game very smoothly..."
"Well, Director Zhang is right!"
Sun Zhengping nodded in agreement, and showed a suddenly realized expression.
Oh, so it is!
As expected of Director Zhang.
Yu Jia didn't interrupt either, and watched the performance of the two of them as if listening to a cross talk.
Until the game officially started.
Howard jumps the ball with Rasheed Wallace.
"Warcraft" succeeded in jumping the ball.
Sun Zhengping yelled: "Good shot!"
It's impossible to tell Director Zhang who wants to say something directly.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt, and Rasheed Wallace provocatively asked him to make a shot: "Come on, let's break through, rookie, aren't you good at dunking?"
"Put one on my head!"
Li Wan glanced at him and gave the ball to Turkoglu who came to receive the ball from the wing.Then there was a distinct sneer from Rasheed Wallace.
Turkoglu made a strong push from the flank, facing the "little prince" Prince. "Bulldozer" breakthrough can be said to happen to be the offensive method that Prince is least good at defending.
When LeBron James was rampaging on the wing last year, when Li Wan taunted, he blamed Wallace, but Prince was actually to blame.The first time he failed to defend, and when LeBron rushed up, Rasheed Wallace really had nothing to do.
After all, he is not a rim protector at the level of Tim Duncan, Howard and Kevin Garnett.
However, if you can't stand LeBron, there is nothing wrong with Turkoglu, the "little LeBron".
Turkoglu had no choice but to throw the ball back, Bogans took the ball,
It was an open spot, but he hesitated and didn't vote.
Shot missed.
He can only continue to move the ball.
In the end, Lewis made a strong shot and missed.
Rasheed Wallace got mixed up with Howard, and McDyess managed to protect the ball.
The cooperation of these two people complements each other.
In terms of tacit understanding and adaptability alone, it is no worse than Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace.
The only weakness is that the defense range of these two people is indeed not as wide as that of Daben.
In addition, McDyess is also old, 32 years old, and has fallen from his peak for two years. His ability to protect rebounds is not enough once he encounters a top insider.
Therefore, once this happens, Pistons coach Saunders will put Rasheed out to deal with a more powerful insider.
Wallace played the fifth position this time.
He did push Howard hard and successfully prevented him from getting a rebound.
The Pistons counterattacked. Billups took control of the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Li Wan, he chose to cross the three-point line with Hamilton and made a "hand-to-hand" pass by the way.
"Masked Man" catches and shoots.
When Li Wanbu came in front of him, he had already made a move.
The ball fell into the net.
3-0!
Li Wan watched Hamilton high-five Billups.
Of these two people, one is the second position given up by Michael Jordan, and the other is a former "parallel importer", but after coming to the Pistons, they both gained a new life.
Hamilton became the "CIC King".
Billups even became the "Finals MVP"!
When Bogans returned to defense, he was scolded by Stan Van Gundy.
Even though this is the first round, "Coach Anxi" is determined to gain an advantage at the beginning.What about Bogans' sudden stage fright?
The ball was handed over to Turkoglu from Li Wan's hand.
The Magic didn't go in or out in the first round, but the vacancy came out.
There is no problem with the tactics, but if the execution is a little more resolute, there should be no problem.
Turkoglu thought the same way, and he rushed much more resolutely than the first time.
The ball was the same as before, the opportunity came to Bogans, but unfortunately the shot missed.
Wallace repeated his tricks and helped McDyess protect the rebound.
It was another offensive round for the Pistons, considering that the "hand-to-hand" speed on the opposite back line was too fast.Li Wan made an agreement with Bogans early on that if the opponent crossed over again, he would resolutely switch defenses.
Therefore, Billups passed the ball to Hamilton this time, and Li Wan rushed forward immediately.
Hamilton made a soft shot and the ball bounced out of the frame.
McDyess faced Lewis inside, calmly received the offensive rebound, made a close-range shot, and scored the ball in the second offense.
Shooting is almost the only means of offense for McDyess.
Unlike other "black and hard", he likes hand-to-hand combat, and he prefers a gentleman's shot to solve the battle.
Li Wan gave the ball to Turkoglu again, and at the same time strengthened his running position.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the opposite side has the idea of shorting out Bogans from the very beginning.After two rounds, they strengthened their style of play even more.
Li Wan must use running to mobilize the entire defense of the Pistons to ensure that the entire defense of the Pistons cannot be concentrated on Turkoglu.
Lewis counter-runs spiritually and takes the ball from the outside. He, who was supposed to make a shot, suddenly saw Howard's open space. He just wanted to pass the ball, but the open space was blocked by Rasheed Wallace.
In desperation, he could only transfer the ball, and Bogans returned the ball to Li Wan.
There are 10 seconds left on the shot clock.
Li Wan clearly felt that the whole team was a little abnormal.
Whether it is Bogans or Lewis, they are too cautious and want to find a more secure way to score goals.
This is actually a retreat.
Although everyone said that they wanted to beat the Pistons and complete their revenge, the fiasco of last year is obviously still engraved in the memory of these guys.
Including Howard...
Normally he would let McDyess take that shot?
Zao rushed up and slapped the ball away.
It was because of his scruples about Rasheed Wallace behind him that he didn't dare to defend.
In fact, as far as McDyess' passing ability is concerned, "passing inside", can he pass it?
I don't have that ability, you know!
His more prominent point is mainly that he can help the team open up space and grab rebounds.
In fact, he is very suitable for Dayao.
The whole team became cautious because they wanted to win...
Li Wan knew that no matter how much he restrained him, it was useless.
It's time to play his role as "Sharp Knife Platoon".
Lewis's reverse run opened up the shooting space. Although he didn't make a shot, it also shifted the entire center of gravity of the Pistons. The position where Li Wan received the ball was on the other side, and there was only Billups in front of him.
After taking the ball, Li Wan did not stop, a "Li Meng style" breakthrough with the ball.
As soon as Billups made physical contact with him, he was thrown behind him.
Although the "MVP of the 04 Finals" knew that Li Wan's current breakthrough was fierce, it was the first contact with him after all, and he didn't have a clear concept.
When Li Wan took a big stride and rushed in carrying the "bomb" from beside him, it was too late for him to exert his strength.
Rasheed Wallace had just blocked Lewis from passing the ball in order to make up for his position, and was a little out of position. When Li Wan rushed in, he just returned to his position, which was in front of Li Wan.
If you go, you will definitely not be able to go.
Rasheed Wallace could only reach out to destroy it, but Li Wan's explosive power really made him unexpected. When he reached out, Li Wanzao jumped up and was smashing the ball hard towards the basket.
He had to wreak havoc.
"Bah!"
The dunk sounded above his head.
There was also exclamation from the scene.
"beep!"
and the referee's whistle.
"The Pistons made a defensive foul on No. 36, and the Magic made two free throws on No. 23!"
Yes……
Two free throws!
Rasheed Wallace broke the ball hard, causing Li Wan's ball to go out of the frame.
buckle fly...
But even so, Wallace was terrified enough.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
At the scene full of boos, he could still clearly hear his heart beating wildly.
At the same time, the palms were sweating and the soles of the feet were weak.
He could see clearly, it was only a little short, if Li Wan jumped higher and had better core strength, he would definitely hit a hard dunk on top of his head!
This Chinese rookie...
Wallace couldn't help swallowing.
"How about this meeting ceremony? Don't be nervous, I'm just scaring you, but maybe next time..."
Li Wan passed by him, dropped this sentence coldly, and at the same time gave him a meaningful glance.
In fact, he felt a little regretful.
This goal could have been dunked, if he was given a little more time to unearth the potential of his body a little more.
For him now, there is no problem with dunking Chris Bosh and Bargnani who have no confrontation.
But against Rasheed Wallace, it is indeed a bit difficult to complete the dunk.
This buckle failed, and Rasheed Wallace must have taken precautions next time. It is estimated that there will be no play for the time being...
But this buckle obviously frightened Wallace. Li Wan's provocation got him still a little confused.
But in the end it didn't work...
Li Wan sighed inwardly.
Facing the boos and the interference from the auditorium, Li Wan executed two free throws and made a steady hit. Li Wan turned to look at Howard and the others.
"Guys, the Hawks can push the Celtics to Game [-]. Are we worse than them?"
"Or, the Pistons are better than the Celtics?"
! ! ! !
Asking a question in two sentences caused the expressions of these people to change.
They are definitely better than the Eagles!
And the Pistons are definitely not as good as the Celtics!
Since the Eagles can force the Celtics to a "tie-break" and almost a "black eight", then it is not very difficult for us to kill the Pistons, right?
them……
Got it!
The Pistons' offense, I don't know if it was Li Wan's breakthrough just now, Billups chose singles this time.
It's just that Li Wan followed very well and couldn't find a chance to make a move. He lobbed the ball behind Li Wan and into the hands of Rasheed Wallace under the basket.
Facing Howard's defense, Wallace calmly used his "straight-arm shot", but his overall state obviously has not recovered from the almost dunk just now, the ball flew out of his hand and came directly to a basket "Crossing the bridge" on the basket!
Instructor Zhang pointed and said, "This is because Li Wan was duped in a daze, I don't know how to hit him..."
Sun Zhengping: "That's right!"
These two just looked at Li Wan's buckle and yelled like hell. When they found that the buckle flew away, they sighed again, only chattering, and their expressions were as regrettable as they were.
Howard turned around to chase the ball, but he was in a hurry to protect the rebound before McDyess.
His historical level of flexibility, explosive power and jumping ability are fully displayed at this moment.
See this iconic way of grabbing the board.
Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines nodded slightly, he knew Howard was back!
But his expression was still serious.
In the frontcourt, Li Wan gave the ball to Turkoglu again, pushed it in, and released it. Bogans took the ball for the third time, and his expression was much more determined than before.
"Shh!"
A three-pointer goes through the hoop.
5 to 5!
Stan Van Gundy finally softened his face.
When the ball was in Li Wan's hands just now, he almost called a timeout.
Seeing the cowering appearance of the Magic, he couldn't help but growl.
Unexpectedly, Li Wan stood up at this time, made a breakthrough dunk and made a foul, which directly wiped out all the worries of these guys.
This is the "sharp knife row" he imagined as the No. [-] position.
Think about when Nelson Jr. was just traded, he still felt a little bit dissatisfied with Otis's approach.
He really likes little Nelson.
Of course, now, he still likes little Nelson very much.
but……
He had to admit that his situation was small at that time!
The Magic team, which is still undergoing transformation, really needs Li Wan's sharper "sharp knife"!

Happy National Day, brother Meng.
