Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 181: Management Should Come Up with a Better Way

The sky in Oklahoma is gloomy again!

Kevin Durant didn’t figure it out after taking the trumpet to match 100 netizens, he was still working hard for 60 points per game, how could Li Wan get 75 points!

Even more infuriating…

Yesterday, the Thunder also played, away from the Phoenix Suns, this season the Suns are back on the road, the “fast down whirlwind” reappeared in the league, currently ranked third in the West, behind the Lakers and Blazers.

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

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

This is the first time the team has reached this position since moving to Oklahoma from Seattle.

Another personal season high, another return to the playoff stage, Kevin Durant was ready, woke up the next day, the whole network reported, fans all kinds of crazy praise of him.

Outcome……

Waking up the next day…

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

“Kevin, go and see, Li Wan’s single-game score has reached a new high! ”

“OMG, Kevin, Li Wan got 75 points! ”

“Okay, Kevin, Li Wandu added 70 in a single game, you get a 43 points? If you can’t go to the development league, cut 80 points there, anyway, it is also an NBA league…”

……

All the brains said were Li Wan’s 75 points!

Especially the last netizen, look, is that talking about human words??

At that time, he couldn’t hold the fire and began to fight…

But even though there was a lot of artillery fire on his side, the media reports he saw in his eyes:

Li Wan, Li Wan, or special Li Wan!

As for the fact that he scored 43 points to help the team get back into the playoffs…

In addition to the media in Oklahoma…

Nobody cares!

Kevin Durant is angry, but helpless, and during the normal rest of daily training, he sits alone on the bench on the sidelines, sighing and sighing.

Not far away, James Harden noticed this:

“Russell, did you say Kevin was out of love? ”

What came to Westbrook’s mind…

After yesterday’s game with the Suns, the squeezed Kevin Durant got on the plane and went to sleep, when Westbrook was sitting next to him and heard his dream words, what “how can you take the initiative to kiss him”, “no bath water” and so on…

I immediately felt that Harden was right.

“It should be a broken love! ”

As soon as Harden heard this, he wanted to date his big brother and go to a nightclub tonight to hi pi, he went to a newly opened bar last night, the girls in it are very good, one by one, big belly, just like watermelon, round and rumbling. Harden’s eyes straightened. He also thought he had reached heaven.

He believes Kevin Durant will feel the same way then.

Westbrook continues to dislike in his heart…

This “big brother” really can’t do it! Let a woman hurt like this!

If Oklahoma is cloudy, Los Angeles is rainstorm…

Every highlight of Li Wan is also when they are “snapped” in the face.

And as Li Wan won more and more honors, his performance became more and more exaggerated, and every time he hit Los Angeles in the face, it was multiplied.

This time, the “75 points” in a single game is super doubled!

Angelenos are tempted to pour a cup of cappuccino for Kupchek, the kind that is full…

Get out of here, you!

Yes, every time there is a liquidation, there must be one name in the list that must eventually be brought out: Mitch Kupchek.

The cup was filled with cappuccino, and Otis took a sip first.

He didn’t have alcohol in his coffee cup, but he was drunk like a dog!

No way, Li Wan is too fragrant!

Give him a confused fragrance!

Sure enough, I made the right choice…

How badly Kupchak was scolded by the people of Los Angeles, Otis was praised by Orlando.

He gambled on Li Wan’s deal with two first-round picks and Nelson Jr., the first pick, and now it is a veritable “first hand” in Magic history.

No other deal compares to this one.

The impact of Li Wan’s 75 points in a single game continues.

Barkley suddenly stood up and spoke: “Actually, I really don’t think there is anything remarkable about Li Wan’s 75 points in a single game… Jennings scored 55 points against this team, and Li Wan scored 85 points against this team, which can be considered a normal performance. ”

“75 points is really less…”

“Stephen Curry, really no defensive ability! ”

The previous remarks proved Barkley’s reasoning ability as a “logical genius”, and the latter remarks, n years later, made him the first documented “Kuhei”…

Amid the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the Magic moved on to the next game.

Back at home, they face the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Lee Wan welcomed old fellow Mike Conley, who had never seen this guy smile so happily.

No wonder…

This guy’s progress this season is finally no longer a snail crawl.

Averaged 16.8 points, 5.6 assists, 1.4 steals per game…

Complete first-line level…

The Grizzlies have OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay outside this year, and Zacrandolph inside, and the ball is simply not enough points, and in this situation, Mike Conley can still get this number to prove his ability.

It can also be seen from the shooting percentage, which averages 45% shooting per game, which is a career high so far.

I don’t know if the data came up, people are also confident, Mike Conley shaved off the “mouth” shaped beard, and by the way made a “ground ridge ditch” …

Sure enough, the idols of this small man outside line are basically Allen Iverson.

I don’t know if it’s a breakthrough addiction, or in order to fully align with Allen Iverson, Mike Conley’s entire style of play is much more radical than the original.

Originally, Conley was a very traditional No. 1 position, holding the ball in his hand, and the first thing in his mind was to pass the ball.

And now, his first choice after blocking is to attack the frame most of the time.

But also…

The desire to attack did not increase, how could the score rise so much at once.

But then, there’s a problem:

OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay are not pure pitchers, they prefer one-on-one singles.

When there is no ball, they cross their waists and watch from the sidelines.

This has led to a sense of confusion on the outside of the Grizzlies that “whoever gets the ball will play singles.”

This is one of the reasons why they are still in tenth place in the West and have not made the playoffs…

Well, one of them…

Another reason is that OJ Mayo’s growth has not been as expected, and he averaged 18.5 points per game in his first season, not only did not improve a little, but also regressed this season.

He averaged just 16.8 points per game.

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

This proves that OJ Mayo is not regressing, but improving.

He played with less ball, more shots, and better efficiency!

So……

Applaud!

Seriously, if it weren’t for the fact that the Grizzlies are still sitting in the tenth place in the West, I don’t know, I would have thought that the Grizzlies were in the top four in the West this season…

But it can’t be said that the Grizzlies have gained nothing at all!

Zach Randolph…

That’s their biggest gain!

This season, Randolph seems to have changed as a person, no longer affected by off-court affairs, and his concentration on the court has improved, with an average of 48.8% shooting per game, cutting 20.8 points and 11.2 rebounds of “20 plus 10” luxury data.

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

At that time, he was a little transparent with only 16.4 minutes of playing time per game at the Blazers…

This is something that no one expected!

Including Chris Wallace.

Just facing the media:

“There’s something about him that fits with Memphis, and I think that’s why I traded him to the Grizzlies and why he can get back on the court…”

The highlight is a face!

Do you believe that he can “turn back”?

You are clearly hungry for the salary space generated by the imminent expiration of his contract!

You slut!

Some media have also asked Zach Randolph why he can be so focused on the field this season, rather than being affected by off-field events.

Randolph smiled slightly, did not say much, and said in his heart:

Hehe, laugh to death, you think it’s me who doesn’t want to?

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

In Zach Randolph’s view, there is no “prodigal son” that Memphis can’t afford to wrench.

If so, stay another year!

His “turning back”, coupled with the growth of Marc Gasol …

This is Gasol Jr.’s second season in the NBA, and his average has improved again, averaging 14.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, in addition to 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks and 2.3 assists.

In addition to not having long-range shooting ability and playing low under the basket, he has all the other aspects that the interior should have!

In this way, the Grizzlies have assembled the “inside twin towers” above the league’s first-line level.

The two of them present a huge challenge to the Magic’s interior line.

Especially Howard, who did not want to live up to Li Wan, worked hard to hone singles, and became a “Huo apprentice” again, making people educate a little temper, and the “little beast” at this moment is like a “little bearer”.

Fortunately, the Magic’s outside shooting group was accurate tonight, and they barely managed to hold on to this home court 103-94.

Li Wan 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 55% from the field again!

Howard shot 6 of 15, 4 of which were all sports scorers, scored 15 points, rebounded a lot, and 13 rebounds with guaranteed quality.

But with the tenth in the West so anxious, Orlanis naturally not happy.

This is to meet a strong …

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

Artest played well tonight, locking up Anthony, the current top small forward, on the defensive end, and keeping the latter on 7-of-18 shooting, a 39 percent shooting percentage.

As a result, Howard went down on a 5-of-17 shooting from the basket…

There was a “momentary Yuliang” with Anthony.

It was so covered that it was almost impossible to distinguish between southeast, south, and north.

The “Beast’s” patience was exhausted, and in the rest of the schedule, he began to grab the ball with Howard on the court. The chaos within the Magic team went further.

The number three and number five play their own, even if Li Wan is Michael Jordan, it will not save the team, not to mention, he does not have Michael Jordan’s ability now…

Not even more!

The Magic went 2-3 in the next five games, and before they knew it, they had fallen to sixth place in the East.

The overall strength of the East has become significantly stronger this year, and the Charlotte Bobcats, currently ranked eighth in the East, also have a 50% win rate!

Fortunately, the Magic had a good enough record in November, otherwise they would not even be able to make the playoffs now.

Oran Multimedia was a little dumbfounded, and at the beginning of the season, they never imagined that the Magic’s script would be like this.

The announcement of the All-Star Weekend lineup at the end of January gave Orlando a little comfort…

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

That said, the Magic still have three All-Stars on the team this year.

They, or in the center of the world!

But they can lie to themselves, and ESPN unceremoniously put the Magic on the “most disappointing team” list when it came to the halftime summary.

In addition to the Magic, there are the Boston Celtics in it…

Although it was expected that the dominance of this team will decline further as the “Big Three” is one year older, the decline rate from the first and second in the East to the fifth in the East is now beyond everyone’s expectations.

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

In the 07~08 and 08~09 seasons, the Boston Celtics were the first in the regular season, once reaching the Finals, and once stopping the Eastern Conference semifinals because of Kevin Garnett’s injury.

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

But judging by the overall record and the changes they have made to the league landscape, they are undoubtedly successful.

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

It’s just that for this team, time is the biggest enemy…

The first half of the third season has shown, in ESPN’s view, the decline has been revealed, and the era of the Celtics’ “Big Three” has not yet arrived, it has ended.

It’s not so much a disappointment as a regret!

After all, the “invincibility” shown by the Celtics in the regular season last year made many media believe that they would be the ultimate winners of the season, and the “Big Three” were destined to achieve their dreams.

Outcome……

In vain: Hey!

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

One of them is second in the West and one is eighth in the West.

Their situation is similar, it belongs to the rotten reconstruction, and it is time to pick the fruit.

It’s just that no one expected that this fruit would grow so quickly and bear such a big fruit!

Plus, there are amazing players.

Zach Randolph’s name is prominently listed.

In addition, amazing players, and…

All members of the ’09 draft!

Remember the summer of ’08, just after the end of the 08th draft, there were many media shouting “’09 is a small draft year, except for the top three picks, all other signings are garbage!” ”

This voice is gradually getting louder as the ’09 draft approaches…

But now!

If anyone else said that the ’09 draft was a “draft junior”, then it must be embarrassing, or maybe he doesn’t understand the ball at all!

Now the ’09 draft has a new name:

“Year of the Defender”!

Tyrek Evans, Flynn, Stephen Curry, Jennings…

And that’s not even counting the guards James Harden and DeRozan, who have gradually established themselves in the team’s main rotation…

If you count them all…

As a result, ESPN believes that the time has come for the league’s defenders to be renewed.

Because not only did a lot of excellent defenders born in 09, but also Li Wan in 07 and Ross in 08, several excellent defenders have entered the league.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

They naturally replaced many defenders who had been struggling to make a living in this league.

And this is the cruelty of the NBA update.

What’s even more brutal is that there are a lot of players, and no one even knows when they left the league.

Magnesium lamps always belong to the most popular gang of people!

There are very few who can turn away under the magnesium light!

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

However, the continuous emergence of excellent defenders has also made good big men even scarcer in recent years.

There is only one Oden who has emerged so far in ’07, and Kevin Love and transfer student Mark Gasol in ’08 are barely the big men on the inside who can have a central position.

’09…

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

Others, either the water drops, or the upper limit can see the head, at most the height of the “top blue collar”.

And to be able to reach the level of Shaq O’Neal and Tim Duncan, looking around the entire league, it may be possible for Oden and Howard.

ESPN concluded that the two men would be in a hurdle for the next decade.

And the team that gave up the two of them, ESPN can only evaluate in one word:

Stupid!

ESPN’s opinion was listened to by many Orlando media.

They thought it was really time to give Howard some time to hone his singles skills at the basket so he could maximize his value!

“There is no doubt that he can reach the heights of Shaq! ”

Oran Multimedia’s conclusions caused displeasure from Shaq O’Neill.

He responded to the media: “I think they should forget what Shaq did in the last game to the future of the league in their eyes!” ”

December 27, Magic vs. Cavaliers game.

Shaq O’Neal had 17 points and 10 rebounds in front of Howard, easily suppressing Howard with 15 points and 9 rebounds, who also accumulated five fouls.

Even Shaq O’Neill, who is about to “shark wither”, can still easily solve Howard!

“Next time, we won’t lose! Howard responded forcefully to Shaq’s shout.

The contradiction between the two people reached its peak at this moment!

Speaking of which, the Magic team was a bit bleak during this time.

However, I don’t know if it is the stimulation of Li Wan’s 75 points per game, and the entire league has become more exciting and exciting during this time.

From January 16, to the current February 1st.

There were a total of 11 single 50 plus appearances across the league.

There are also 12 “triple-doubles”.

It was a period of time in the “data explosion”.

Kobe Bryant was especially crazy during this time!

He contributed 11 times in a single 50 game.

The opponent is his old “ATM”: Sir Utah!

And even crazier than 50 plus a single game is his other stat:

On December 5, he killed Wade with 0.4 seconds before the end;

On December 17, 5 overtime whistles beat the Bucks 107:106;

On January 17, 2.3 seconds quasi-kill the Kings;

On January 19, 4.3 seconds to tie the Trail Blazers and enter overtime;

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

Show his big heart to the fullest!

But according to Barkley:

This was killed by Li Wanjue out of the shadows, and now he began to take revenge on society. ——Last year, from the beginning of the Summer Olympics to the end of the season, Li Wanyi completed the whistle killing in front of Kobe Bryant a total of 3 times, two times face-to-face, and once Kobe Bryant’s defense, but the distance was less than 30cm…

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

Kobe Bryant has been waiting for this game for a long time, and speaking to the media before the game, he bluntly said: “We will leave Orlando with victory, and this is just the beginning!” ”

What that means is that we’ll win you guys in the regular season and wait until the finals… How we won you in the regular season, and when the time comes, how do we win you!

Such a provocation, can you endure?

Li Wan sharpened his knife Huo Huo, it’s a pity…

No eggs!

Howard’s battle with Artest once again made victory slip away.

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

Back in the parking lot and getting into the car, he finally couldn’t help it, and slapped the steering wheel in front of him fiercely.

But he also knows that instead of suffering for a few seasons, it is better to end this season.

After days of court competition, the relationship between Artest and Howard became more and more tense.

On February 7, the Magic suffered a “three-game losing streak”, giving up the seventh place in the East and dropping to the eighth place in the East.

Artest and Howard almost staged “All-Wuxing” again during daily training.

On Feb. 10, four days before All-Star Weekend, the Magic couldn’t even sit still in eighth place in the East, and their November record advantage depleted them and fell to ninth place in the East.

If there is a hot search at this time, you can definitely see such an entry: feel sorry for Li Wan!

Since February, Li Wan has averaged 26.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. 53% shooting, 41.2% three-pointers, 90% free throws…

You simply can’t find any problems in him.

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

I want to win!

And he didn’t have any complaints yet, whether the media reporter mentioned Artest or Howard in front of him, he tried to say as good things as possible for both of them.

Mature enough to make people want to hug him…

There are indeed female fans who do this.

The photo leaked, and Li Wan received Taylor’s “13 call for death”.

After finishing the incident, she saw that the whole situation of the magic team was so bad, and she knew that Li Wan must be under a lot of pressure, so she customized a valuable high-tech mattress for him, which not only could not burn, but also recorded various data in detail, massaged to relax, and ensure sleep.

The day after the Magic fell out of the top eight in the East, a rumor broke out from the Magic general manager’s office: Otis was considering sending Artest away before the free trade market closed.

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

What he was waiting for was the moment when the rumors were happening.

Because that means…

He can shoot at the management!

With the arrogant self-esteem of the Magic team management, he definitely can’t stand him pointing fingers at the management.

This is not Li Wanhu’s words, but there are traces to follow:

What do you think Shaq O’Neill left Orlando and suffered those humiliating treatments? Just because he wants a contract of 20 million a year?

You know, Shaq was only 26 years old at that time, and everyone knew if he was worth 20 million!

Including Magic team management.

But Shaq made one of the Magic’s most taboo problems: pointing fingers at management!

A year before the expiration of Shaq O’Neill’s contract, when Hardaway needed to sign a big contract, when he heard that the Magic did not want to give Hardaway a big contract, he immediately fired at the management and helped Hardaway put pressure together, and finally Hardaway successfully got the big contract.

But Shaq O’Neal forced the palace, and the Magic management took note…

Think about it, in the Magic’s short history, Shaq O’Neal led the team to the Finals, even if the Magic didn’t want to sign him with a big contract, why ask twice in a row: Stay Hardaway or Stay Shak; Is Shaq worth 20 million…

This is clearly insulting him in order to avenge the revenge of helping Hadawei force the palace last year.

To say that Hardaway is indeed low enough, Shaq helped him so much at that time, but when Shaq needed help, this guy was stuffy and didn’t dare to let a fart go.

Because he knows the urine nature of the Magic team management!

Coincidentally……

Tim Duncan in 00, who just won the championship with the Spurs in 99, is very powerful, but it is such a league super newcomer, after negotiating the contract, he asked “Can I take my family on the passenger plane”, decisively refused, without hesitation for a second.

It reminded Tim Duncan of San Antonio’s tenderness.

Later, Maddie, who won the “scoring champion” for two consecutive seasons, forced the palace to threaten, let them use the 04 title to sign for an instant combat power…

As a result, no matter what season you are the “scoring king”, give Lao Tzu roll!

Including Howard, who was later at his peak, he said that he would either trade me or strengthen the team. The response received, too… Go to your Los Angeles!

Is Li Wan strong enough now?

Very strong, the youngest “60 points”, “70 points” Mr. and the finals MVP!

But compared to “one of the four centers” Shaq O’Neal, rookie season double team, the second year led the team to win the championship and Finals MVP Tim Duncan, there are two consecutive “scoring champion” Maddie, “league number one center” Howard… And where can it be strong?

They all left the Magic because they forced the palace or asked the management to ask them.

Can Li Wan’s shelling be an exception?

Apparently not!

Let the Magic trade him…

This is Li Wan’s ultimate goal.

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

It’s not the Magic team that broke up with teammates and left, but they wanted to win and couldn’t stand some idle operations from the management, so they left!

This step is also very important…

It’s naturally easy to mess with Howard directly…

However, breaking up with teammates once this kind of thing happens may be someone else’s problem, if it happens twice or three times, then in the eyes of outsiders, you are also a problem!

As a result, some teams hesitate to consider whether to sign you and establish you as their core.

Don’t you see that “toughest man” Jimmy Butler left the Bulls, and if there was a problem in the locker room, he was the first to be dumped?

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

Li Wan will not make other teams hesitate once to break up, and his future is still very bright.

But he still has a long career, so…

Try to save this opportunity until the next time, until he is really full-fledged, every team is out of reach, no matter what happens, it is always up to him, it is never too late to be willful…

It’s like “Ou Shenxian”!

What happened to the foxes, the Nets still treat him as a treasure.

Even if something happened to the Jews, the management’s first thought was not to give up on him, but to help him eliminate the impact as much as possible.

In short…

Don’t wave!

Obscene development first!

As for whether shelling the management will make the management of other teams think that you are a prick …

This is why Li Wan will bombard when the trading rumors come out!

When a team has Lee Wan, Howard, Lewis, Artest… And with an astonishing 11-3 record in the first month of the new season, when there was a problem with the atmosphere in the team, the solution was to trade one of them…

Go out and inquire, will the other management think that it is Li Wan who stabs the head, or that the management of the Magic team is stupid?

They will absolutely say: If this were me, I would definitely sort out the contradictions between the players and get this team back on track!

Otis is a fool!

There is a way: peers are wronged!

The general managers of the 30 teams in the league all think that the other 29 general managers are stupid!

Moreover, Li Wan’s character of “wanting to win” has already been established.

This makes other team generals feel that Otis does not know how to cherish it!

If the Magic really want to trade Li Wan…

Their reaction…

Come, come, Li Wan, come to the arms of uncle, uncle must specially build a set of “ship new” championship lineup around you, whoever you want, I will get you whoever you want!

Therefore, when the reporter asked about the rumors of Artest’s trade, Li Wan did not hesitate to speak: “In my opinion, this is not the right way, we have had great success in the first month of the new season, we can grind a good chemistry… If I traded any player for the sake of harmony in the team, I think I would be disappointed, it’s not what I expect! ”

“Management should come up with a better way! ”

Today there are relatives at home, 8 thousand words, tomorrow to make up, plus the 1,000 owed before, tomorrow 13 thousand.
