Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 186: It Depends on Who Shoots the First Shot!

“Li Wan!”

“Li Wan! ”

“Li Wan! ”

“Dwight! ”

“Dwight! ”

“Dwight! ”

“Rashad! ”

“Rashad! ”

“Rashad! ”

……

The scene continued to echo with a unified cry, from Lee Wan to Howard to Lewis, the shouts continued.

It seems that they will not stop until the names of the Magic players are shouted one by one.

With such excitement, it is conceivable that Orlando will have a sleepless night tonight. However, it is also conceivable that the patrolmen are busy.

American fans are agitated, it’s not a matter of just yelling at two throats…

Li Wan and his teammates high-fived and hugged one by one.

That includes Dwight Howard.

This time can sweep the Knights neatly, and the cooperation of this guy is inseparable.

Although I don’t know what the future holds, at least for this moment, they are partners in the same boat.

The Cavaliers players had already left the scene by this time.

When LeBron James walked out of the visiting players’ tunnel, he ignored all the reporters who wanted to interview him and went straight into the team charter.

He needs to be quiet.

Everyone knew he needed a reprieve.

In the past two years, he has had a hard time.

What should have been the most promising two years turned out to be swept twice in a row by Li Wan and Howard. This kind of blow, no matter who it falls on, is not something that can be digested so quickly.

Especially……

When you are complacent, thinking that you will definitely be able to pick the fruits of victory.

This feeling of frustration is doubly doubled!

So much so that at the moment, he was holding his head, and he didn’t know what to do next.

He thought of his high school basketball coach Drew Joyce at this time. The latter gave him a lot of experience in basketball at the beginning of his basketball game and was his enlightenment teacher. LeBron has always believed that without Joyce, there would be no current self. Maybe……

His own enlightenment teacher will know what his next path should be.

He took out his hand, but found that there was already a text message sent to him by Joyce lying inside:

– If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first. Don’t worry, kid, you’re still on your way to success and you can see it.

This made LeBron James think…

At the same time, the media suddenly broke the news that Hornets owner George Sheen was officially considering peddling the team.

As George Sheen, one of the poorest owners in the NBA, in addition to the team, his personal worth is 100 million.

Seeing the team’s rapid rise and rapid fall under the leadership of Chris Paul, it finally ran out of patience and chose to shoot the Hornets.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

First, David Stern called George Sheen and told him not to act impulsively. – He’s not trying to keep George Sheen. In this business game, it’s normal for someone to be out, but the new person at the table, Stern has to know his background. Avoid big hands with strong or ulterior motives joining and play this hard-to-build “hand” out of the game.

Then Chris Paul secretly clenched his “cannon fist” and formally submitted a “trade application” to the New Orleans Hornets.

The news that the Knights were “Black Eight” was intertwined with these two news, which immediately caused a shock.

The next day, the volume of media coverage rose sharply.

The “melon-eating masses” also did not stop talking, and one after another the trails flowed out.

But even with so much news, LeBron James was “Black Eight” still dominated the biggest headlines.

ESPN posted: “LeBlanc nemesis? Li Wan and Howard have swept the ‘Little Emperor’ for two consecutive years!”

“Bleachers” bluntly said: “Maybe we overestimate LeBron James’ current ability!” ”

The New York Times teased as always: “I don’t know if Cleveland will be able to break their crownless curse in another 50 years!” ”

……

He was swept by Li Wan and Howard twice in a row, and this time, as the only team in the league with a record of 60, it was even “black eight”.

The doubts about him suddenly became louder.

But at this time…

Cleveland reported a big news! – The Youmamen incident, here it comes.

It was reported that Cavaliers player Dronty West had an affair with LeBron James’ mother, and the East Window incident caused LeBron to be unable to turn his mind on the court.

Then came a wave of follow-up reports.

The public opinion questioning LeBron instantly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and all began to sympathize with LeBron’s experience. I think that he lost excusable this time, and anyone who happens to such a thing cannot be in a good state.

Barkley fired directly at LeBron James’ team: “This really sucks, you can’t divert attention by such a way, it was already used once last year, didn’t you?” ”

After losing to the Magic last year, it was reported that “LeBron James’s right shoulder was unable to lift up to complete a dunk due to injury”, and also carefully put a picture of a layup, with the text: “If it was the usual LeBron, he would definitely dunk this ball!” ”

“It’s normal for anyone to lose sometimes, Michael couldn’t beat the Celtics, he couldn’t beat the Pistons, but there weren’t so many reasons and excuses, no one was invincible, instead of doing that, it was better to think of ways to increase his influence on the court, such as… Practice that damn shot! ”

Outcome……

He was unanimously criticized.

Giegie is now experiencing this kind of thing, why don’t you let Giegie go!

Don’t you have any compassion?

This matter has been boiling for two days.

During this period, the Lakers easily eliminated the Thunder 4-0.

Kevin Durant averaged 35% shooting per game in this series, and Kobe Bryant stunned him.

Originally, he thought that he was the “scoring king” of Xinke, even if he faced Kobe, there were some fights. Now after fighting, I find out how wrong I am…

But think about it, this is the star I saw on the TV since I was a child, and I can’t beat it…

Seems normal, right?

Besides, the Thunder are a “youth army” and can make the playoffs in the second season of the move, which is already very fast.

He believes neither the media nor the Thunder fans will be disappointed this season.

The future is theirs!

Kobe Bryant didn’t say this to him, he, said it himself!

It’s just that at the post-game press conference, a word from a female reporter almost made Kevin Durant directly break the defense.

She said, “Will you feel inferior to Li Wan!” ”

Also eighth place into the playoffs.

The Magic swept the Cavaliers and completed the “Black Eight”;

The Thunder were swept by the Lakers.

In addition to showing that “eighth” and “eighth” are also different, does it also mean that Kevin Durant’s ability to lead the team is not as good as Li Wan?

This is where this comes the question.

Kevin Durant was in a hurry, showing his usual shyness of thinking and tricky angle: “Although the Magic are the eighth in the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs, they are the defending champions, they have some problems, solve these problems, and get back to their original form, isn’t this result normal?” ”

“Putting aside the results of both teams, isn’t this the same as last year, it’s all sweeps? ”

Not a little bit of progress!

Like us, we didn’t make the playoffs last year, but we did this year!

What does this mean?

It means that I am the one who leads the team better!

Li Wan has never proven himself in the rebuilding team!

Although Kevin Durant did not directly shout this sentence in his heart, he still vaguely pointed out that the situation between him and Li Wan, and the situation of the two teams cannot be confused…

It turns out that even journalists cannot be opponents in the face of the brave and combative “keyboard man”.

Kevin Durant’s call left the female reporter speechless, smiling and sitting down.

“Xiaoshuai” was interested, his eyes looked around, and he seemed to be asking:

Still! Yes! Who!

The 09~10 season belonging to the Thunder came to an end.

In the following days, several other groups of duels were also resolved.

Wade watched the Celtic trio embrace, walk lonely to the away locker room, just entered the players’ tunnel, and saw a crowd of reporters surrounding him, and he instinctively felt annoyed.

Think again about your age.

Wade suddenly spoke, with determination: “This will be the last time I will be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!” ”

Endless solo team leadership, then collapse in the first round of the playoffs.

There was not even a single person to speak.

“The Flash” has had enough!

Even though Pat Riley made him hugely successful in the third year of his career, he reached the limit of his patience.

This year is his contract year.

There are also n big fish waiting in the free market in the summer.

He wanted Pat Riley to think he was “forced into the palace.”

He is indeed “forcing the palace”.

But there is no way, from the summer of ’06 until now, he has been chasing him every day like Pat Riley’s mistress, asking “when will you divorce, stay with me”, Pat Riley says “right away” every time, but does not act. He doesn’t want to wait any longer, 28 years old, wait any longer, and immediately “old age and decay”. As far as the status of “mistress” is concerned, “old age and decay” means that he will immediately have no chips to “force the palace”.

So……

Let’s have a showdown now, old scumbag!

This time, don’t think about messing around with “right away” again!

As the current league’s “second shooting guard”, Wade’s words detonated the entire media the next day.

Kenny Smith was surprised, in his impression, this was the first time Wade stood up and directly pointed out his attitude.

First Chris Paul, then Wade…

Barkley laughed: “It’s really worth a lot this summer!” ”

In addition to Cameron Anthony, LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh can jump out of contract and become full free agents.

Paul Pierce and Ray Allen of the second order…

Also this summer, the contract expires.

While Paul Pierce certainly won’t be leaving, Ray Allen…

If the Celtics can’t win the championship this time, then it’s not certain…

In short, it can be said that it is a “gathering of big names”.

From here, you can actually see why these stars, including Wade, are so restless.

Such a good opportunity this summer, missed it, but I don’t know when it will be available!

So many fierce materials one after another, but it seems that the “best general manager” and “best head coach” announced by the NBA next do not pay much attention.

The “Best General Manager” went to Bucks John Hammond; The “best head coach” belongs to Brooks of the Thunder.

Both teams have one thing in common.

That is…

The rebuilding team made it to the final playoffs.

The day after the two awards were announced, the Magic also welcomed their second playoff opponent, the Chicago Bulls.

This year’s Chicago Bulls are no different from last year’s Chicago Bulls.

Derek Rose averaged 20.4 points per game this season, officially entering the ranks of “All-Star-level” scorers.

But compared to last year, the improvement is not so great.

The same goes for other young people, like Noa…

He’s like Mike Conley last year, and you can’t say he’s not improving, but it’s really limited.

The Magic easily beat the team 4-1 to reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the third year in a row.

In five games, Li Wan averaged 25.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, shooting 48.7% from the field, 40.2% from three-point range and 84.5% from the free-throw line…

Absolutely super-standard!

Howard’s performance was not bad, averaging 18.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, shooting 55.2% from the field…

During this time, Howard also won the “Best Defensive Player Award”, which was his second consecutive year of winning the award.

After becoming Big Ben, another player to win the award.

To achieve this result, on the president hill in NBA defensive history, Howard can actually plant the flag!

But he wasn’t happy.

Because everyone is saying…

Li Wan is one step closer to his second Finals MVP trophy of his career…

Completely treat him as the second boss of the team…

You say, can he be in a good mood?

Still, he has a chance to prove himself.

Eastern Conference Finals…

It is his chance to counterattack!

The league then announced the best team for the 2009~2010 season.

Howard was re-elected as “One Defense.”

In addition, the members of the “best team” are: Kobe, LeBron, Kevin Durant and…

Li Wan!

Yes……

Li Wan also entered a burst this time.

With his “180 Club” level performance, he squeezed out the original team of members Wade.

For the first time in his career, he entered the “best team”.

For this result, in fact, Li Wan was not so surprised.

It would be strange if his regular season averages couldn’t be “in the first minute.”

If the “180 Club” were really so easy to enter, it would not have so many members now.

But what he didn’t expect was…

He not only scored in the “best team”, but also in the “best defensive team”!

As early as January this year, the media found that Li Wan has improved a lot in opposing defense this season, and almost every player who plays with him has a final statistical performance that is inferior to the season average.

At that time, Li Wan knew that he could enter the “best defensive” team this season.

But even then, he just thought he would make the “best defensive second team.”

Behind him stands a “Defensive Player of the Season award” winner. Even Li Wan has to admit that his defensive effect is so good, and it is inseparable from Howard’s assistant defense.

Unexpectedly, he still entered the “best defensive team”.

It seems that his influence in the alliance has indeed reached a certain height now…

Sometimes it’s like this, even if your ability doesn’t reach a certain height, as long as the league and the media think you can, you can squeeze out other people and get this award or a certain position.

Right……

So who!

In this way, it is equivalent to the Magic team having two “double formations”!

Åland multimedia fart flip through history and discover that Orlando has made history again!

This is the first time in NBA history that two “double-one teams” have appeared at the same time in the same season, the same team.

Hi Dapuben!

It is worth mentioning that Auden also entered the “best second team” this time.

This is due to the withering of the No. 5 talent, and it also has a lot to do with the excellent record of the Trail Blazers.

At the end of the season, the Trail Blazers finished second in the West, have eliminated the Spurs, and are in full swing with the Suns. And after five games, now it is 3-2 ahead.

Xiaosi completely closed his mouth.

He is the “best three” of the season.

Just as Yao Ming was not convinced before that he was a champion, Xiaosi also looked down on Auden, a “rising star”.

But judging by the current performance of the two people, Smalls has 22 points and 5.1 rebounds, and Auden has 18.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The offensive end is slightly inferior, but on the defensive end Oden has a much stronger presence than Less.

The data is not comparable, and the record is not comparable.

The “little bully” has no other way but to close the microphone.

Fortunately, he closed early.

Because of the sixth game of the series, even if the Suns returned to their home court, the Blazers still took the final victory and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

The rose garden is boiling at this moment!

10 years…

10 years!

It has been 10 years since reaching the Western Conference Finals in 00, and after several ups and downs, the Blazers have finally reached the Western Conference Finals again.

If the opponent is still the Lakers…

It’s even better!

The Portlanders of Rose Garden want their team to complete their revenge.

But the Dallas people tore up the script.

Game 6 of the series.

With the final whistle sounding.

There was a huge cheer at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, and all the “cowboys” were excited…

They, won!

After winning this game, the Mavericks officially changed the score to 4-2!

Mavericks, eliminated the Lakers!

Got the last place in the Western Conference Finals.

The “Black Mamba” had a look of reluctance on his face.

He played well, averaging 27.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists while shooting 45.3 percent from the field.

But it didn’t work just for him to play well.

The Lakers’ interior was completely exploded in this series!

How to describe it…

Two words:

Toy!

Nowitzki’s offense, coupled with Tyson Chandler’s defense.

Dallas inside “one attack and one defense”, stunned to break the Lakers’ “three highs”!

What kind of move is that?

Bryant looked at Nowitzki, who was hugging his teammates on the other side of the court, and suddenly thought of his weird shooting posture.

This guy just used the kind of shooting style that was not the same as ordinary people, and broke his “sister-in-law” one after another.

The Dallas people in the audience were also looking at Nowitzki on the court.

At this moment, the body of the “King of Nuotian” is glowing!

From ’06 to now, 4 years, this man has experienced a lot.

Dallas people have seen a lot of reports about LeBron James in the past two days, and the media believes that LeBron James is too bumpy. But in the eyes of Dallasians, LeBron James’s ups and downs are really less than one-tenth compared to Nowitzki.

What he is going through now, Novitsky has experienced.

Only now, he is standing up again!

Still in this land, still wearing the Mavericks jersey.

Even though this only made it to the Western Conference Finals, Mavericks fans in the scene still wanted to shout and show their love:

Finally waiting for you, it’s good that I didn’t give up…

The Lakers fell in the second round.

This news caused a shock the next day.

Boy!

I only tore up the script last year.

One is not enough this year, here comes another!

You guys have to think that my book is not good, please say it early!

David Stern really didn’t expect that LeBron is unreliable, how come even your “black mamba” is not reliable?

However, Novitsky’s “tearing up the script” made him realize one thing:

Great, times have changed!

Don’t be “23” vs “24”, a hundred flowers bloom, it’s spring!

He immediately found that if Novitsky climbed up from the trough again, wouldn’t this be the best illustration of the NBA’s “never give up”?

And……

This is the real “one person, one city”!

Really……

No matter how good the script is, it can’t compare to what happens in life.

Bloody things can’t compare, and bloody things can’t be compared either.

The Los Angeles media is heartbroken.

In addition to scolding Bynum, their eyes looked at Orlando in unison:

Li Lang, it has been several years since February 08, Los Angeles is still blazing, I don’t know how Orlando is. I cherished Ru and saw that Ru Wei’s name was outside, and I was very happy and relieved. However, in the eventful autumn of the Lakers, remembering the transaction of the year, he often sighed and regretted bitterly, if his brother is still here, why is Mamba alone.

For fear that Li Wan would not understand, they also came with a simple version:

Every year when the Lakers lose, I always think of someone who used to like me and I liked him…

The Orlando media saw Los Angeles scolding Kupchek and regretting the original deal, and immediately gloated: Well said, reward a “drunken dream death”!

May 15.

The league announced this year’s “regular season MVP.”

Actually, there is not much suspense…

When the Cavaliers lead the league with 61 wins, it already means that the man’s name has been written on this year’s regular season MVP trophy:

LeBron James!

It’s just that the people of Cleveland were looking forward to this day.

Right now……

It’s kind of embarrassing.

LeBron James also did not expect that the first regular-season MVP of his career would be won under such circumstances.

Speaking of which, he does get something out of the way every time.

Especially reflected in the championship thing…

Always a bit skeptical.

With the final prize announced, the four places in the East and West finals also have a final list.

Eastern side: Magic and Celtics;

West: Trail Blazers vs Mavericks;

Before the start of this season, except for the Magic, no one would have thought that it would be these three teams that would reach the East-West finals.

Whereas……

Even the Magic team, no one would have imagined that they would actually reach the Eastern Conference Finals in such a form.

To sum up the season in one sentence, that is:

Tear the script, tear the script, or the special tear script…

Yes!

The script is torn again!

The Magic swept the Cavaliers before and quickly eliminated the Bulls 4-1, and in the eyes of most media, this team has regained its previous form and will become the most favorable contender for the championship this season!

After all, it is two “double and one formation” ah…

Outcome……

The Celtics made it easy to beat the Magic 4-2.

The reason is also very simple, three words:

Howard!

This product once again came up with his “unparalleled in the world” basket singles technique.

Even more infuriating than before…

I don’t know if I watched Kobe’s short video, the more critical the moment, the more you have to hold the ball and play singles.

It is useless to direct how you want.

Iron heart to be the most beautiful cub in the team.

The Celtics were originally the team that reached the Finals this season, and the Magic didn’t have much advantage over them. Every game is in millimeters.

Howard looked at just holding the ball seven or eight times.

However, it is especially deadly.

Artest was stunned several times.

Every time he “wakes up” and sees that Howard is getting the ball again, he gets dizzy again…

Li Wan averaged 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 9 assists per game, and could only watch the team lose Game 6 of the series.

What made Li Wanhuo the most was …

Howard actually ran to comfort him for the first time, saying, “This season’s regrets, we will make up for it next season, believe me, Lee, next season I will definitely not let you down!” ”

Next season?

Still coming?

Li Wan didn’t even bother to squeeze a smile.

Walk straight towards the dressing room.

The reporters on the side followed one by one, ready to grab the most advantageous position when Li Wan stopped.

As a result, the Magic crew came up and stopped them.

Li Wan entered the dressing room to find his mobile phone, and immediately sent a text message to Tyron:

– Man, prepare the trade application, we have to act in the next two days.

Taryn quickly replied to the text message, saying to do it immediately!

After explaining this matter, Li Wan’s entire expression eased a lot.

It’s just that he went out of the locker room door again, but heard the reporter on the side say to him: “It’s not good, Artest and Howard are making trouble in front of the media!” ”

Ha?

When Li Wan heard this, he hurriedly ran towards the “crime scene”.

Sure enough, I saw two groups of people moving in different directions.

It should be separated.

At first, he didn’t know who the two groups were who.

But soon came Artest’s cursing voice from the left side: “You damn fellow, listen, you will never reach the height you think, Shaq is right, you are a level worse than them!” ”

Li Wan also knew the cause and effect from the reporter next to him at this time.

It turned out that when Howard was interviewed, a reporter asked: “In this series, you have significantly increased the number of singles with the ball at key moments, but the efficiency is not ideal, do you think this is a good choice?”

Howard confidently replied: “You don’t think it’s a good choice, just because I didn’t go further, once I score these goals, there will be no doubts, I believe that next season, you will see my progress in this area, we will go back to the Finals and win the championship…”

At the end, he even shook his head.

It really seems like it’s next season, and he’s already holding the championship trophy at the moment, and… The Grand Finals MVP trophy is up.

At this time, Ah Tai happened to pass by, and when he heard this, he immediately became angry and shouted directly at him: “If it weren’t for you, we would have already won the championship this season, do we have to wait for next season?” I know very well that you just don’t want to watch Li Wan win the Finals MVP, then others will think that this team is Li Wan’s! ”

These words poked Howard’s careful thoughts, and he jumped his feet as if he had stepped on a cat’s tail.

The two of them just got into trouble.

Fortunately, the staff on the scene separated the two people in time.

Otherwise, it’s not just about spraying at it.

I’m afraid it’s really going to happen!

The first time to lose the Eastern Conference Finals, this is also rare in the development of the NBA for decades, right?

But now, even if it is not done, the bad effects have already been made.

To be sure, next season the team will either be without Artest or without Howard.

In terms of the importance of two people in the team.

It’s self-evident how the team chooses…

But it just so happened that Li Wan also had a reason to leave.

First of all, Artest’s words have almost made clear the “boss dispute” between him and Howard.

The media are not fools.

In fact, there have been media analysis before, Howard has such a large number of baskets this season, is to increase his presence on the offensive end, so that his influence in the Magic can overwhelm Li Wan.

It’s just that Li Wan, as the party, has not expressed his position.

In addition, Artest only bombarded Howard for playing selfishly in front of the media at that time, and did not put this matter on the surface.

It’s different now.

Artest’s words tonight can be regarded as picking out the “boss dispute” between Li Wan and Howard.

What follows will be endless media speculation or speculation.

The “boss battle” of many teams has intensified, and these suspicions and speculations have contributed to it.

It’s all right to say…

At this point, unless Li Wan or Howard publicly state that the other party is the boss of the team.

Otherwise, it’s not over!

But the question is…

Artest has already outspoken to blame Howard, not once, but now twice.

At this time, Li Wan suddenly said “Howard is the boss of this team”, isn’t that equivalent to backstabbing Artest?

If any team boss has such a situation, it is bound to be difficult to have teammates who can replace him. It’s a dressing room.

Therefore, Li Wan and Artest at this time are standing in the same boat.

If the team trades him, Li Wan must be stopped!

In this way, it is the second time to interfere with the transaction of the Magic management.

With the pride of the Magic management…

Even if he is Li Wan, I’m afraid it won’t be possible to endure it anymore, right?

Unless, of course, Magic management decisively abandons Howard and trades him away. Then Li Wan had no reason to leave.

After all, the team traded Howard for you, what a determination!

If you leave, then there will definitely be no team willing to put you at the core!

Things are intertwined, and now…

It depends on who will fire the first shot!

8,000 words today.

The reason, as in the previous offseason, has to turn over some information.

But I wrote everything I wanted to write for the first three years.

The first point is the Lakers’ deploration.

A lot of brothers say I gave the Lakers that championship because I like Kobe.

I like Kobe Bryant, it’s actually nothing.

Just like I also admire LeBron, the 15 Finals, which specific game, I forgot, he fought until the moment of exhaustion, and finally defended the victory, and smashed the ball hard, which is actually quite moving.

But the thing I can’t stand is that if he loses, his team will make a lot of off-court factors, as if this guy doesn’t win must be off-field factors.

It is not necessary to create a god like this.

Without this team, LeBron would still be a player who could not be avoided in the NBA in the 10s, and when you talk about that decade, you must mention his name.

It’s like talking about 00~10 years, you can’t bypass the name Kobe.

Ahem, pulled away.

Back to this championship in ’08.

The most painful thing should be that they think their choice is right, but time has proved that their choice is actually wrong, and this regret is the most profound.

The other is the book of Boston’s “Big Three”.

I don’t think that three players who are still at their peak get together and win the championship in the first year, what is “veteran does not die”, what kind of veteran does not die?

So combined with these factors, this crown must be lost.

Until this season, the “old Big Three”, who has struggled for three years, met Nowitzki, who has returned from the trough, which is the “veteran spirit” I want to talk about!
