Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 167: Advancing to the Finals

Bull Rose’s shooting ability has not been very good.

He usually kills by breaking through.

Such players are generally afraid of bags.

Just look at LeBron in the ’07 Finals…

“Rose” is no exception.

Plus the Bulls’ No. 2 spot is still Hinrich.

In fact, Hinrich’s shooting ability is not weak, and the three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is as high as 42.2%!

It’s already the level that only the best three-point shooters in the league can achieve!

But his projection needs to be adjusted, plus the shot speed is not too fast…

If he were a purer No. 2 pitcher, Ross might not be that tough!

Bulls head coach Winnie DeNagro tried to block Rashid Wallace and Noah respectively in an attempt to give Derek Ross more room to break through.

Ross’s talent is here, when he has more room to break through, he can burst out more powerful breakthrough ability, maybe he can use speed to directly break through the bag…

This also shows how terrible Derek Ross’s talent really is.

Some players, you know he’s going to break through, but you just can’t stop it, like Allen Iverson, like Irving…

Compared with these two, I have technology, I was suddenly overlooked, and I can comfort myself, people play ball well, I also want to strengthen ball control training.

Practice more “two-handed ball control” at home at night.

Derrick Ross’s breakthrough is to hit people purely by talent, leaving you completely unresponsive temper, and just want to go home right away, wash and sleep.

your basketball dreams!

Playing the Celtics, the Bulls relied on Derrick Rose and the inside to constantly block and stun the Green Army.

But that’s the Green Army…

Without Kevin Garnett, the overall athleticism is not outstanding…

The Magic are different, Li Wan and Raga Bell’s guard line, plus Dwight Howard’s defense, not to mention the “copper wall and iron wall”, a fly can’t fly in,

That is also the “iron rope river”, one after another.

Derek Ross’s breakthrough was blocked one after another.

Once the scalpel-like breakthrough is gone, Ross’s lack of organizational ability as a rookie, and the problem of his own vision is not excellent enough.

At the end of the first quarter, the Magic managed to stretch the gap to more than 7 points.

In the second quarter, Pooh adjusted his style of play and allowed Hinrich to control the ball for a while.

As the “brain-type” No. 1 position, “not running fast, not jumping high” Hinrich, can be regarded as a representative of playing ball with his brain. It’s just that……

As soon as he had the ball, Derek Ross could only stand on the flanks.

And like Hinrich, there is no way to attract defenses and involve formations.

That’s where the NBA is interesting.

Although Hinrich’s form dropped a lot last season, he still averaged 12 points and 6 assists per game, while Derek Rose was almost at his peak.

Looking at the values alone, the two people are definitely a very good backfield combination.

But because both men need a lot of possession, once one of them has the ball, the other can only stand by and stare dry…

And because of this…

Hinrich’s ball handling did not make the Bulls’ offense smoother, but more rigid…

As the absolute core of the former “Bulls Revival Society”, Hinrich is known as “able to make a good shot”.

But in the end, it turned out that he did do both, but neither was proficient.

It’s okay for him to suddenly release a cold arrow…

Ask him to carry the flag…

Especially after experiencing a sudden decline in form in the 07~08 season…

It cannot be said that there is no hope at all, only that there is no possibility!

No way, the ball had to go back to Derek Ross.

Look at Laga Bell in front of him, and then look at Li Wan next to him, “Rose” looked bitter, slapped the ball twice, gritted his teeth and rushed.

Li Wan’s tacit cooperation with Raga Bell intercepted his ball.

2-on-1 up front…

Derek Ross watched as Levan and Bale passed the ball back and forth, and finally scored with a one-handed dunk.

The live commentator made a “it’s all over” gesture.

In TNT studio, Kenny Smith also said: “It’s over, obviously, Derrick Ross’s breakthrough has been adapted…”

With the Magic completing such a crisp steal at the backcourt, Derrick Rose’s next situation is only more difficult.

At halftime, the difference between the two sides was in double digits.

Ross shot 3-of-13 from the field for just eight points and four turnovers.

Kenny Smith wasn’t wrong, when Levan and Raja Bell teamed up to make a steal less than 2 minutes later, and they completed the steal again.

Derek Ross looked a little bit at the time…

Stunned Qing~

If Ben Gordon hadn’t summoned Ben Ordon to “bankrupt Jordan shooting bag”, I am afraid that this half-time difference would have been more than 15 points.

Ben Gordon scored 11 points in the second quarter…

Seriously, God fortunately didn’t give this guy a “ball-holding” skill point, otherwise this guy’s scoring explosiveness would definitely be Li Wan in ’04!

Of course, now there are more and more labels on Li Wan’s body than before.

This season has added labels such as “stable”, “good passing”, “good overall view”, “excellent organizational skills” and so on…

It has become synonymous with another “dual guard” in the NBA!

There is not just one “good scoring explosiveness”.

Barkley watched Derek Rose return from the dressing room.

He still held his head against his head, and the 15-minute break did not change the child’s mood.

Also, he played really badly in the first half of this game.

Arguably, his worst game since the playoffs.

“That’s the growing pains, boy! ”

He sighed.

Everyone comes this way, and only after experiencing these difficulties can more colorful roses bloom.

Even if the first half was bad.

He remains bullish on Derek Ross.

Even more optimistic about this “Windy City Rose”.

After all, the defensive power invested by the Magic team is also real.

But in such a situation, Derek Ross’s “flash of light” at some times, you can still see him in him, that will definitely become a superstar potential!

The most important thing…

It’s to keep a good mindset!

The picture was given to Li Wan at this time.

Barkley secretly said in his heart: Don’t be affected by this guy…

This kid is not human!

It’s normal to compare to him!

In fact……

Looking at the first two rounds of the series alone, Ross is better than Li Wan last year.

But the general view from the outside world is that Li Wan’s performance is better.

In addition to the stronger strength of the opponent, it is also related to Li Wan saving the team alone several times!

This is where Derek Ross can’t get better.

Although his performance is also at the thigh level of the team, compared with Li Wan, it lacks that sense of shock.

When the team is in a desperate situation, often he can only sink with the team, but Li Wan can always bring incredible performances.

Of course……

It’s just a rookie, no one will judge him too much, and it’s already great to be able to play at the thigh level of the team!

If only anyone could be like Li Wan, who played against the sky on the stage of the playoffs from time to time, dragging the team forward alone…

Li Wan will not be so hot!

Let’s put it this way…

If you score, Derek Ross is a 100-point performance in his rookie season, and there are basically no obvious flaws!

He can lead the Bulls to the final Eastern Conference finals!

When was the last time the Bulls reached the Eastern Conference Finals?

98 years!

But Li Wan’s 100 points…

Yes, the rating is only 100 points…

But it can’t be said that Ross, who scored 100 points, is not good…

This score is already more than 99.9% of geniuses!

So, even if tonight’s game ends up, the Bulls lose 95-110 at the home of the Magic. The most said by Kenny Smith is…

“There is a certain gap between the two teams, like last year’s between the Magic and the Celtics…”

It was only because of the X-factor of Li Wan that the Magic survived Game 7 of the series.

Bulls……

“If you can last 6 games, even if you succeed! ”

Barkley asserted.

Some media have said this before, and the attitude of the Chicago media at that time was disdainful…

Survive 6 games as a success?

We have Derek Ross, only 6 games?

Don’t be funny, be careful we pick the Magic directly!

Right now……

They think it’s really good to be able to last 6 games.

The change in attitude so quickly has to do with Derek Ross’s first game:

At the end of the game, Derek Rose shot 6-of-22, 1-of-4 from three-pointers, and 5-of-7 free throws, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists while shooting 27.2 percent from the field, while making six turnovers.

Such data also made the Chicago media realize that this “rose” is far from **, and it will take a little time…

It is no exaggeration to say that Derek Ross is the root of their self-confidence, and now that it is gone, they naturally recognize reality.

The smell of gunsmoke in the Eastern Conference finals was reduced a lot.

The Magic continued to soar and very simply took a second home game.

He then won Game 3 of the series at the home of the Chicago Bulls.

The big score came to 3-0!

Just as the outside media was wondering if the Magic were about to sweep again, the dead Chicagoans began to erupt in Game 4 of the series.

This is the most accurate game of the Chicago Bulls in this series, and even in this year’s playoffs, with an average team-wide shooting rate of more than 55% and a three-point shooting rate of more than 50%!

In the end, the game also ended with Derek Rose breaking through the basket 2-1 to seal the victory, and won a tough 108-106 victory, changing the big score to 1-3.

Next game…

He will move to Orlando.

Noah, who scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, shouted fiercely after the game.

Derek Ross, who scored a new 25-point series high, also clenched his fists.

Not being eliminated from their home court is the last stubbornness of the Bulls’ “youth army”.

And they did!

Long after the game, the Chicago fans in the audience did not want to leave for a long time, responding to the Bulls’ stubbornness with cheers.

They also know that the next game to Orlando, just afraid that the Bulls will be the last game of the season.

But……

At this moment, Chicago fans want to tell the Bulls warriors with cheers…

Playing like this this season is already very happy for them!

Especially you…

Derek Ross!

The outbreak of this game at a critical moment made Chicago fans believe that Derek Ross is the man the entire Windy City has been waiting for!

Orlando fans…

I’m happy too!

The Magic lost this game, although it is a pity, because so far in this year’s playoffs, the Magic have not lost two series and are about to complete three rounds of “sweeps”.

As a result, it was still at the last step.

Falling short.

However, it feels like to see the Magic win the Eastern Conference championship and return to the stage of the Finals after 14 years…

It’s cool to think about!

Winning the championship requires a sense of ceremony!

Even more so for breaking records…

They naturally want to witness the moment when the Magic lift the Cup on their home turf.

May 23.

Once again, the Amway arena was packed.

Nearly 22,000 Orlantons arrived, and even the fan tunnel was almost full.

Witness a historic moment for the Magic team!

Many fans at the scene also carried their own Eastern Conference championship flags and shook them at the scene.

The Magic didn’t disappoint the excited fans either.

The game was tough from the start.

The Bulls obviously didn’t expect that the Magic put the tiebreaker moment in the opening game, and there was a very obvious discomfort.

Their defensive membrane was punctured.

Then he fell into a state of extrication.

Watching the Magic team go in and out, shoot and shoot…

But there is no way to stop it.

The most ruthless is Howard, and those big hands are buttoned and buttoned.

Before the end of the third quarter, the Bulls trailed by 20 points.

100 to 78…

When the score froze, the cheers filled the stadium.

Orlando greeted the historic moment with hysterical cries.

After 14 years…

The team finally reached the finals again.

Li Wan walked towards Ross in cheers.

The camera follows all the time.

You can see a bit of frustration in Derek Ross’s eyes.

Although he has a hunch of his own, this game will be his last in his rookie season. But when this moment came, he couldn’t help but feel a little more depressed in his heart.

“That’s the last lesson you’re going to learn, rookie! If you want to win, you have to lose first! “Lee Wan is sure that Derek Ross will be very satisfied with the quality of his teaching!

However, he obviously did not notice that there was a little more resentment in Ross’s expression.

’09 “Best Rookie” felt that Li Wan…

Don’t talk about martial virtue!

The outside world talked a lot about the two of them.

Derek Ross is well aware of this, too.

He also took a special look at the analysis of the two of them from the outside world…

I even thought about it myself:

Li Wan’s attack, he should be unstoppable.

But in the same way, Li Wan should not be able to prevent his breakthrough.

So, this Eastern Conference finals, the two of them should be…

Mutual explosion?

Well……

This was what Derek Ross had in mind before the Eastern Conference finals began.

He thought it would be the sword and shadow between the two super newcomers, attacking and defending each other, to prove who was the best guy among the two!

Anyway, the blockbusters that Ross has seen are like this…

As a result, he really didn’t expect it!

Throughout the series, Li Wan never singled himself out!

Not only is there no single defense …

Also took Pitrus and Raga Bell to the whole game, from the first game to the last game, as long as he and Li Wan matched, it must have entered the encirclement of the Magic’s guard line!

This guy…

Do you know that you are a superstar?

Shouldn’t one supernova meet another supernova and can’t help but want to single out on the court?

Why is this guy’s brain circuit leading people to fight together?

To put it bluntly, Lee Wan ruined Derrick Ross’s “heroic dream”.

If this series taught Derek Ross anything…

That is to let him know, what is called “no matter how high the martial arts, I am afraid of kitchen knives”!

What else is called…

Don’t Bi Lian!

Li Wan was very satisfied with the fighting spirit in Ross’s eyes, did not say anything, turned his head and began to look for the figure.

Rashid Wallace, thinking he was looking for himself, quickly lowered his head and hid behind a nearby reporter, only to find that Noah was already hiding.

A “squatting pit” look

“Huh? ”

Two people look at each other.

Noah felt the familiar smell from Wallace’s body and hurriedly gave him a “pit”.

was about to lock Li Wan’s position, and then secretly left the scene, what they didn’t expect was that Li Wan separated the crowd and stood in front of them:

“Hey, that’s here, Joaquin, I said how could I not find you! Sorry, this time I was lucky, I won again! ”

Noah laughed, revealing an expression that was uglier than crying.

Speechless.

What made him even more annoyed was that he bet that now on his phone, the Florida dead ghosts had sent messages to laugh at him.

Fortunately, Li Wan quickly looked away from him.

Because Li Wan…

He saw the incoming one again – Wallace!

“Roaring Tianzun” staged a wave of textbook light-speed changes for Noah: “Li, I was about to go to find you, I never saw you, sure enough, the future is yours!” Man, you won again! ”

Noah had a learned expression on his face.

Sure enough, as a newcomer, I have a lot to learn!

Li Wan smiled and gave Rashid Wallace a high five, saying, “I still like your unruly look!” ”

Rashid Wallace had now recovered from his embarrassment.

Hearing Li Wan’s words again, his expression did not change at all, but smiled.

He could hear that Li Wan’s words were ridiculed, and there was not much malice.

In the five games of this series, Li Wan averaged 28.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game.

He shot 46.8 percent from the field, 42.4 percent from three-point range and 88.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Even on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, this guy’s performance is still so terrifying!

This is enough to prove that this guy’s future is promising…

Losing to such a person, shame?

Surely there is no shame!

Like Carl Malone lost to Michael Jordan twice in the Finals, would anyone think Carl Malone is weak?

Others will only think that Michael Jordan is too strong!

It’s normal for Carl Malone to lose!

As the only team in the East to push the Magic to Game 5 of the series this year, Rashid Wallace actually felt… They can leave this with their heads held high.

You know, as strong as LeBron and the Cavaliers, there is no way to force the Magic to the fifth game!

OK!

That’s really it!

Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that dead memories have been attacking Rashid Wallace…

Li Wan is now in his eyes, four words: unattainable!

The Eastern Conference champions trophy also came to the center of the stadium at this time.

At this time, the cheers of the fans at the scene were even louder.

Especially when Li Wan and Howard lifted the trophy together, the “blue ocean” continued to churn, forming waves one after another.

Most of the Orlantons who were here tonight were actually seeing the Eastern Conference champions trophy for the first time.

After all……

The last time the trophy was seen at the Amway Arena was 14 years ago.

Young fans had not grown up at that time, and young fans were not born…

Perhaps this explains why…

Tonight, the slightly older fans in the audience were already crying.

14 years!

How many 14 years can there be in life?

The old man who sent the beast head to Li Wan also came to the scene tonight, but he didn’t appear on the sidelines until the end of the game. He was afraid of distracting Li Wan.

While that’s impossible, when it comes to the Magic’s Eastern Conference Finals, he doesn’t want to be an X-factor that could affect Li Wan’s performance.

Li Wan smiled and ran to greet him.

The old man was noticeably more enthusiastic than before.

Now that the Eastern Conference Championship trophy is in hand, there are 4 wins left before the championship!

Sure enough, his vision was not wrong.

Li Wan is the guy who will bring Orlando the first championship in team history!

He looks forward to the moment when the dream really shines into reality. When the time comes, he will go to his father’s cemetery to tell him the good news.

Later……

Don’t give him dreams!

The son is also old and can’t sleep well in the first place…

The award process for the Eastern Championship is simple.

No streamers, no winning speeches, just a simple Eastern Conference finals trophy.

Because, as everyone knows, the battle is not over yet!

“We’re going to take at least one win from Los Angeles and go back to Orlando to finish them off!” ”

In a hotel in Denver.

Bryant was watching TV.

On TV, it was Li Wan who interviewed media reporters.

This provocative remark made the entire expression of the “Black Mamba” become very serious.

Take at least one victory from Los Angeles …

At least?

“Cut! ”

Kobe Bryant smiled angrily.

He pulled out his mobile phone and called Paulo Gasol: “Man, let’s end this series, I can’t help but give some little color to some imp who doesn’t know the sky!” ”

The Lakers’ Western Conference Finals with the Nuggets started a day earlier than the Eastern Conference Finals.

So yesterday, they had already played the fifth game of the series.

However, in the first few games of the series, they played a 2-2 draw, and although they won the fifth game of the series, the big score was only 3-2.

They still need to win a game.

Game 6 of the series in Denver…

In terms of the Nuggets’ first five games, the Lakers won at most 70% of the Nuggets’ winning percentage.

The mature Cameron Anthony paired with the current Nuggets’ roster system is a bit surprisingly tricky.

But after watching tonight’s game, Kobe Bryant has a little more motivation to end the series. – The devil knows what the bitch will say in front of the media if the Lakers lose the sixth game of the series!

After talking to Paul Gasol on the phone, Bryant called Odom again.

Hearing the dynamic music on the other side of the phone, as well as the noisy human voice, he instinctively frowned and said in a deep voice: “You can come back!” ”

It wasn’t loud, but half an hour later, Odom ran back with Bynum honestly and reported in front of Kobe’s door.

Tomorrow this game…

Be sure to win!

Li Wan…

Wait for me!

The light in the room was already dark, and Kobe Bryant, who got into the bed, clutched the quilt, but his eyes were shining.

Some things become more angry the more you think about it.

Especially careful with the eye …

Meanwhile, a bus stopped outside Orlando International Airport.

One by one, the Magic players got out of the car, and they had to go to Los Angeles early to adjust their condition.

Before getting on the plane, Howard looked back at the entire airport, and glanced at Li Wan next to him, who was still excited just now, and at this moment it seemed to return to reality: “Are we really going to Los Angeles?” ”

The meaning of this sentence is actually …

Are we really going to the Finals?

From the moment he was selected by the Magic with the first pick in the first round in ’04, his goal was to bring the Magic team to a revival and prove that the Magic team was right about his choice!

Because……

When the Magic won the top pick in ’04, Maddie didn’t want the Magic management to choose Howard, and directly said: “I don’t want to play with high school students!” ”

He wants to choose an instant combat power, or use the champion signature to trade one instant combat power back…

This saddened Howard.

It is clear that Maddie himself is a high school student who entered the league, Howard believes … Maddie should understand the difficulties of high school students better!

Why is there such malice?

So for the Magic team to insist on choosing themselves, Howard is grateful and wants to lead the team to play well!

Right now……

After so many years of hard work, after Li Wan’s arrival, they took one step at a time, breaking through the second round to the Eastern Finals, and breaking through the Eastern Finals to the Finals.

“Lee, are we going to win the championship? ”

The plane was about to take off, and Howard turned his head to glance at Li Wan next to him.

Li Wan looked out the window, heard Howard’s inquiry, and turned his head to look back at him: “Of course, there is no doubt about it…”

A faint tone, but with no doubt.

Howard didn’t expect Li Wan to be so confident…

There was inquiry in his eyes.

Li Wandao: “Because we are the best partner!” ”

After speaking, he smiled!

Howard also laughed, he liked Li Wan’s words.

Then he repeated: “Yes, we are the best partners!” ”

And then……

He went to fight Texas…

Li Wan put on an eye mask to sleep.

Like the Lakers, after 2 months with the Magic, he was no longer eligible to participate in the Texas Hold’em event…

In about 9 hours, the plane came with a preview.

Los Angeles has arrived!

Li Wan took off the blindfold and glanced out the window.

It’s dawn.

Looking at the weather, obviously the sun is shining!

I don’t know if it’s because I came to California.

While still on the plane, Li Wan felt a burst of dryness.

He was fucked awake again!

Turning his head and glancing at the cabin, the card game didn’t know when it dispersed, and they were all backwards at the moment. The entourage of the Magic Team is waking up the sleeping beasts.

The moment the plane stopped, Li Wan grabbed his backpack and was the first to walk out.

That familiar dryness came to my face.

Li Wan took out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack and put them on.

He was tempted to shout:

Los Angeles……

I, Li Wan, are back!

Wipe……

Good middle two!

I already knew that I didn’t watch “Breaking the Sky” on the bus yesterday!

Originally, Li Wan read an e-book recorded in MP4, but now he can catch up chapter by chapter.

To say that the current potato update is really fierce…

10 chapters of asking for a monthly pass at every turn…

Li Wan almost forgot, it turned out that he was such a potato.

Opening his phone and taking a look, Taylor texted him to ask if he had arrived.

Li Wan took a picture of the airport.

Taylor couldn’t wait to run to the airport to meet him.

Li Wan sent Taylor the address of the hotel where they were staying.

At first, Taylor was ready to come to pick up the plane, but Li Wan felt that as soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, he acted separately from the team, which was somewhat of a sense of collectivity.

With the finals just around the corner, he can’t let his teammates have such thoughts and affect the atmosphere of the team.

Anyway, before coming, Stan Van Gundy has already said that today is a day off to adjust his state.

In this way, after staying in the hotel, Li Wan will be fine when he goes to see Taylor again. Because at that time, these guys will not be at ease to stay in the hotel.

But here…

Bright and green Los Angeles!

It’s hard to take a day off, of course, you have to play cool!

1 and a half hours later.

When Li Wan checked into the hotel and walked out again, the horn of a high-end Ford modified car at the door sounded twice, and the window on the right side rolled down, revealing the standard pretty face.

Cool white skin, and the iconic big red lips.

It was Taylor, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Taylor was much more anxious than Li Wan thought.

When the car drives to a remote place, it has to run errands.

Sure enough!

The longer this relationship is talked about, the more active and rogue the girl becomes.

The reserved nature that was lost at first sight is gone.

I don’t know…

I thought the roles were reversed!

However, with his superb skills and super strength, Li Wan quickly took the initiative.

Taylor was suppressed, but did not directly admit defeat, but became more and more courageous…

The stormy fight lasted for more than one hour.

Taylor smiled satisfactorily and began to look in the rearview mirror in the car, sorting out his makeup.

Li Wan cast a puzzled look at her.

What do you think you’re going to meet next!

Taylor seemed to notice Li Wan’s inquiring eyes, smoothed the lipstick with his fingers, and spoke: “Li Zi will arrive later, let’s pick her up…”

“Li Zi? Li Wan was stunned, “Why is she here?” ”

“It seems to say that my uncle and aunt missed me, let her come and see me…” Taylor showed a “no way, I’m just so likable” expression.

Li Wan suddenly realized: “No wonder you are so anxious…”

Not even wearing “Smurfs” …

Subconsciously counting the days, it should not be so coincidental, right?

Los Angeles media and Denver media also noticed that the Orlando Magic arrived in Los Angeles.

Media reactions on both sides were mixed.

The Denver media is cranky.

Before the Western Conference Finals was over, you went to Los Angeles, who is this looking down on?

Didn’t say, this game must be won!

The Los Angeles media is worried.

The Magic are starting to adjust, and they haven’t played the Western Conference Finals yet…

Didn’t say, this one must be won tonight.

There is something today, I will come back after 2 pm, 8,000 words, and I will make up tomorrow.
