Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 282: LeBron Sticks Li Wan Upside Down

At the end of the first quarter, Chris Bosh scored 11 points, in addition to three rebounds and one assist.

Full of presence.

With his play, the New York Knicks ended the first quarter and also led by 9 points.

As the second quarter on, Derek Ross scored nine straight points to help the team close the gap to five points.

Mike Brown shouted several adjustments on the sidelines that did not have the desired effect, and was about to make a timeout, and Levan stepped up at this time, first singled out Jimmy Butler, shook the latter’s center of gravity with rhythm, and then took a step forward from the free throw line and hit a jumper.

The spread was extended back to 7 points.

Turning his head, Derek Rose continued to break through Beverley with the ball.

Beverley is known in the league for “death entanglement” and even entered the “best defense” team this season.

You know, originally he actually only entered the first formation, plus 2 times the second formation.

And now, he has only played by Li Wan’s side for two years, and he has already entered a second team, and his growth rate and experience in big scenes are much better than the original.

But even so, in the face of Derek Ross, who has escaped injury, the “bite” he has always been best at does not play a too obvious role.

Again, in the face of talent, hard work does not form too good a limit.

Moreover, the Bulls have a special offensive system for Derrick Rose, and almost every round, inside players will spontaneously come up to block Rose.

It is also under the specially supporting blocking and demolition system that Derrick Ross’s breakthrough is even more “like a tiger with wings”.

“Phew! ”

With a one-arm dunk, Derek Ross went straight up and down to complete his signature “unframed dunk” to narrow the score back to 5 points.

The New York Knicks continued to give the ball to Li Wan, facing Jimmy Butler, Li Wan did not have many luck this time, but directly broke through with the ball, but just when Jimmy Butler fell back, wanting to distance himself from Li Wan and continue to stay in front of Li Wan, Li Wan was a “quick puller”, again mid-range jumper, and successfully completed the shot.

“Ugh! ”

One more goal!

Mike Brown’s hand, which had signaled to pause, had now clenched into a fist and clenched it fiercely.

yes！

The cheers at the scene were also bursting one after another…

Li Wan once again proved with practical actions what it means to “say nothing, anyway, Li Wan will shoot”!

With Derrick Rose’s breakthrough successfully intercepted in the next round, the Bulls’ counterattack from the beginning of the second quarter was just choked.

The New York Knicks went on to give the ball to Chris Bosh.

Boozer, who had just mixed up for two rounds, began to have “nightmares” again…

Chris Bosh doesn’t know if he’s in particularly good form tonight or if it’s just a dozen Boozer.

He continued his strong performance in the first quarter, scoring another 7 points before the end of the first half, which means that he ended up scoring 18 points throughout the first half, in addition to 5 rebounds and 2 assists…

This performance is not only the performance of the “second in charge of the team”!

This is clearly the performance of the “big boss of the team”!

The New York Knicks also took advantage of the trend to stretch the gap to 11 points.

But LeBron James looked at Chris Bosh’s performance and the difference between the two teams, but just wanted to say:

This Li Wan give me I don’t win?

Chris Bosh’s numbers in the first half were undoubtedly outstanding.

Even compared with Li Wan’s 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, it is not much worse.

But LeBron James saw very clearly that the rounds that Li Wan stood up for basically had two characteristics, the first of which was: the opposite side was forming a counterattack; The second feature is that the defensive arrangement on the opposite side is aimed at Chris Bosh.

That is to say, when Chris Bosh is taken care of, or the opponent forms a counterattack, it is Li Wan who stands up to score and helps Chris Bosh relieve the pressure…

After retiring from the achievements, he “hid his merits and fame” and devoted himself to the defensive cause…

And that’s not all, Chris Bosh’s two assists in the first half were both points scored by Li Wan when he broke through the limit.

These……

Isn’t it all what he is best at?

In terms of ball-holding breakthrough ability, can Chris Bosh compare to him LeBron James?

Speaking of this passing ability, it is even more LeBron James’ old job!

No, why does this guy have Li Wan?

The more LeBron James thought about it, the more sour it became, and his heart felt like eating a lemon.

Because as far as Li Wan, who does not eat the ball, can stand up at critical moments, and can catch and shoot the ball, isn’t it the most complementary partner with him?

This should be God’s gift to him!

How now…

Instead, he became Chris Bosh’s partner, cheapening this “long-necked monster”?

There must be some stubble in this, or some misunderstanding!

If, before this game, LeBron James came to the scene just to listen to the team’s opinion, come to the sidelines to brush the presence in order to maintain the heat. So at this moment, after watching half of the game, he really had an urge to play with Li Wan in his heart.

He couldn’t wait to call his agent and explain his thoughts.

This is naturally a “bombshell”, there has been no reply for a long time, and it took about ten minutes for LeBron James to finally receive a reply:

——It takes a lot of planning, man, you know, our options are getting fewer and fewer, and every decision that follows will be very deliberate!

LeBron James wasn’t surprised by his agent’s reaction.

And he knows that his agent is not wrong, the Heat’s loss in the past four years, the impact on him, can not be said to be great, can only be said to be great!

“Decision Two” must be cautious!

Of course, if LeWan-LeBron James had thought at the moment, he would have absolutely corrected his point:

Your team, it’s not just because you didn’t win a championship with the Heat, they’re cautious from start to finish.

After the original LeBron James finally lost to the Spurs this season, his contract expired and he was ready to go back to play “hometown basketball” to make up for his mistakes. His team started the classic “1 plus 1” contract.

In the end, LeBron James stayed with the Cavaliers for another 4 years, but because of two “1 plus 1” contracts, he can return to full free agent status at the end of each season.

It can be said that the initiative is held to the fullest.

It was also during this time that the “Eight Sages” signed LeBron James’ agent and relied on the “8 plus 8” data to get 80 million contracts from the Cavaliers.

Also by helping the “Eight Sages” get a big contract, Richie Paul officially made his name and worth, and quickly became one of the top agents in the league.

Looking at LeBron James and his team’s operations alone, you really can’t see the slightest affection for the Cavaliers management, including sympathy!

And this peak period of 2 “1 plus 1” contracts, can be regarded as the precedent of “super giant” contract renewal.

This abacus can be clearly heard by the whole United States…

The second half started quickly.

The New York Knicks were still in the first half of the tempo.

Chris Bosh played regular time, when the opposite Bulls had a counterattack or when Chris Bosh’s defense increased, Li Wan took over the offensive burden and stabilized the situation with his personal ability.

The double-digit margin lasted until the end of the game.

113-101, the New York Knicks beat the Bulls by 12 points to win their first Eastern Conference Finals game, 1-0.

Li Wan’s statistics were finally fixed at 29 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, in addition to 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Chris Bosh’s stats were no exceptional, with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. Just looking at this data, it really makes people feel that Bosh is also the big core of this team, and the status of Li Wan should be the same.

However, just as LeBron James saw the trick, the commentators also saw the New York Knicks’ current offensive routine in the second half, with Chris Bosh in charge of most of the time and Li Wan specializing in attacking key balls.

Saying that, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in Barkley’s mind:

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen!

Isn’t this the division of labor between Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls?

ESPN’s side also felt the New York Knicks’ offense, with the shadow of the Chicago Bulls in it.

Although compared to Pippen’s all-rounder, Chris Bosh is a little worse.

But Li Wan’s pocket, and the support of a group of powerful veterans, his role on the field will not be much worse than Scotty Pippen.

The same game let everyone see how stable Li Wan can play at key moments when he has a qualified second-in-command.

The Bulls didn’t do badly today.

I scored a total of 101 points!

You know, the Bulls of the Thibodeau era were known for their defense, and they averaged just 95.4 points per game this season.

Therefore, their firepower on the offensive end tonight is actually not weak.

Derek Ross scored 33 points, and he played well, playing above the par level, after all, he averaged 26.5 points per game in the first round of the playoffs and 25.4 points per game in the second round, a total of 11 games, of which only 3 points were scored in a single game.

Now he scored 33 points in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It shows how hot his state is.

Jimmy Butler was a little worse, and he was defended by Lee Wan and scored only 8 points tonight.

Kluer Deng scored 20 points and supported the “second master” on the offensive end.

It is said that the absolute core of the Bulls played the performance they should have, and this game should not be won by certainty, but also by going back and forth, and in the end it is only right to lose the game.

But everyone who watched this game knows that the rhythm of the whole process is under the control of the New York Knicks, or in other words, Li Wan.

The Bulls fought back several times, and finally relied on Li Wan to stand up in time and ended without a problem.

His key ball ability tonight is really desperate.

Jimmy Butler crossed his head at the waist, he rarely felt so helpless on the defensive end, but tonight against Li Wan, he really felt helpless again and again.

The gap between him and Li Wan is almost as high as Mount Everest.

He stood at the foot of the mountain, with no end in sight.

This feeling, really the more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel…

“nice！ ”

LeBron James stood up at the end of the game, clapped his hands, and cheered Chris Bosh, but his afterglow had been consciously or unconsciously observing Li Wan’s movements, and when he noticed that he walked to the bench, he quickly stepped forward and waited to give him a high five.

When Li Wan found out, LeBron was already in front of him.

The so-called “reach out not to hit the smiley person”, he and LeBron have no hatred, smiled and nodded, and also reached out to pat him.

“Man, congratulations, you did a great job tonight! Seriously, it’s incredible…”

A long passage “flew” out of LeBron James’s mouth.

Out of courtesy, Li Wan stood up, and when he finished speaking, he solemnly said: “Thank you.”

LeBron was satisfied with getting him back to the bench.

A flash of joy flashed in the corners of his eyes.

Mission accomplished!

Sure enough, before he left along the audience, a reporter stopped him at the scene: “Hey, man, you said a lot to Li Wan just now, can you reveal what you talked about?” ”

LeBron said truthfully: “I just wish him a win tonight, he played great… Nothing else. ”

The reporter obviously didn’t believe it, this time of conversation, not a sentence or two, only said this?

LeBron affirmed again: “Just talked about that. ”

The same question was asked to Li Wan, and Li Wan’s answer was similar to LeBron’s: “He just congratulated me on winning tonight’s game…”

This makes the media even more suspicious.

The next day, LeBron James came to the New York Knicks home to watch the game, which occupied a lot of traffic page.

Especially after the game, LeBron James said almost ten seconds to Li Wan, which made many media speculate whether the two brothers had already made an appointment to transfer to the same team in the summer?

“The league is about to usher in the finale, who can stop LeBron from joining forces with Li Wan!” 》

Especially one of the media companies, the title is called an eye-catching, curious netizens followed the media to find the entertainment company LRMR to which it belongs…

Good guys, isn’t this LeBron James’ company?

Doing a gimmick for yourself, right?

Li Wan was also stunned when he saw the news, and then he remembered that LeBron James created the media because he was tired of the media changing the narrative of what he did, or choosing their own narrative method…

Well……

This means that he does not agree with what others say, what he looks like, he has to say it himself!

To put it more simply:

I control my public opinion!

This may explain why the later LeBron has to put the Kings’ logo P at every turn, and add a “goat” to the suffix of his Twitter dynamic at every turn.

He does have a country where he can fantasize about himself!

This operation is indeed very American!

This wave of public opinion was strong enough that on the next day’s no match day, many media reporters deliberately ran to Madison Arena to squat Li Wan, wanting to see his views on this matter.

Li Wan did not have the idea of “the bullet will fly for a while”, and said directly: “We really didn’t talk about anything else, he congratulated me on winning the victory and playing a good performance, other than that, we didn’t talk about anything else…”

“So do you have plans to join forces with LeBron? A reporter asked directly.

And this is also the question that Li Wan is looking forward to, and his answer is very clear: “No! ”

The idea of the LeBron James team is to muddy the free market so that they can increase their influence, have more initiative, and facilitate operation.

Just imagine, if they really blackmailed Li Wan to order the alliance.

At that time, Li Wan will inevitably be affected.

So he has to give the answer “one is one, two is two”.

Let the whole league know who is the “big and small king” in the offseason, and who is the “big king” in the “big and small king”!

Li Wan’s answer was very direct, and LeBron James’s team was also a little stunned.

Doesn’t it say “reach out and don’t hit the smiley person”?

We are all so proactive, you can actually give such a desperate response…

And as Li Wan’s answer was exposed by the media, the views of netizens immediately changed:

“I thought it was a two-way rush, it turned out to be LeBron upside down! ”

“I still wonder, with Li Wan’s strength, where do I need to join forces with LeBron James!” Didn’t that pull LeBron to his thief ship? ”

“The latest news, in fact, the Heat did not have the idea of forming a Big Three at that time, but Wade and Chris Bosh led the team, and as a result, LeBron James joined the South Coast without saying a word, so that the two of them passively got on LeBron James’ boat! ”

“I wondered, if there was no news of LeBron James joining at that time, why ESPN also specifically connected Chris Bosh and Wade to let them talk about the prospects of the Heat after joining forces…”

“Then Li Wan has to be careful, don’t let LeBron James’s team pit at that time! ”

……

In China, on the “hot search” function that Weibo has just launched, the hot word “LeBron sticks Li Wan” has also rushed to the first place on the “hot search” list.

Li Wan’s words made LeBron James’ team fall into infinite passivity.

This is also the reason why Li Wan saw LeBron before the start of the game last night, knowing that he came with a task, and when this guy came to the door after the game, he stopped specifically.

He’s more than polite.

There’s a lot of work in this!

In order to make public opinion what it is.

In this way, no matter which team Li Wan joins in the summer, he can avoid falling into the same situation as Wade and Chris Bosh.

After all, the LeBron and James duo is indeed fragrant enough, and the general manager of the general manager of the general manager of the general manager of the team cannot resist such a temptation.

Now, the current public opinion has formed, and “LeBron sticks to Li Wan” has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If Li Wan joins the new team later, LeBron’s team will be the same as going to the Heat, and then play the trick of “forced boarding”, the outside world will also have a clear understanding:

It was not Li Wan who premeditated with him, but LeBron James himself pasted it upside down!

People who post upside down…

Does the status of the team still need to be said?

There is no way, as far as LeBron James’ team frequently encountered the operation of the porcelain “basketball god” later in his career, Li Wan must guard against this hand.

Let them know that they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you playing “Chat Zhai” with me!

Oh no, the LeBron James team is a thousand-year-old fox, and Li Wan’s side is a thousand-year-old …

This wave of “borrowing power” allowed LeBron-James team to “steal chickens and lose rice”, and Li Wan got to take no effort and easily won the title of “The Man Who Made LeBron Upside Down”!

On May 20, the second game of the Eastern Conference finals continued.

Thibodeau learned well in this game, no longer let Li Wan contain his defensive arrangements, and all defensive arrangements went towards Chris Bosh.

The idea was to put Derek Rose against Lee Wan and lock up the rest of the New York Knicks.

This idea, in fact, is not a problem.

Derek Ross is indeed one of the league’s best “scorers.”

But the problem is…

Li Wan can remove the “one” of the suffix.

In terms of scoring explosiveness alone, even Kevin Durant, who regained the “season scoring title” this year, has to kneel down and sing “Conquest” in front of him. In any case, Kevin Durant has only scored 58 points in a single game in his career. And what about Li Wan… Just 80 plus took it 2 times!

It’s really not comparable at all!

As the game progressed, Thibodeau also discovered the problem.

This can break through, but it really can’t do this can shoot!

Coupled with Li Wan’s state coming up particularly quickly tonight, he made three consecutive 3-pointers during the hottest period, and Derrick Rose directly called a timeout.

This scoring momentum, even if he stepped on his shoes and smoked, it would not be able to catch up!

Rest, rest, take a break…

In the end, the New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls 110-94 and 16 points to win their second victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Derek Rose scored a new playoff high this year, scoring 37 points.

The shooting percentage is also above 47%…

That’s 2 percentage points higher than usual.

It’s not too much to say it all.

If he were the scoring core of the other teams in front of him, maybe this game would have been taken down for him.

But who let him face Li Wan!

Li Wan scored 47 points, in addition to 7 rebounds and 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Focused on the scoring end, he was full of fire and gave Jimmy Butler another night of amnesia.

Just this guy’s confused eyes after the game, Amumu came, and he had to hug and leave.

It’s so pathetic!

Barkley teased Thibodeau’s defensive setup in this game: “I don’t know what Tom was thinking, he actually thought he could win the New York Knicks with a star pair. ”

“I don’t mean to look down on Derek Rose, he’s one of the best players in this league, but it’s still a big way from Lee Wan’s level. ”

Kenny Smith said: “Tom is a defensive coach, he is really not good at the offensive set-up, so sometimes it is normal for him to have some problems thinking on the offensive end. ”

The two of them sang and drank, which made the Chicago media half angry.

But they didn’t have the words to refute it…

Because……

Despite the anger, Kenny Smith and Barkley are telling the truth.

Even if they evaluate the scoring ability of Derek Ross and Li Wan themselves, they can’t say against their will that Derek Ross has Li Wan’s level scoring explosiveness.

Well……

From this, we can understand why, in the eyes of some groups, repeating what their family Giegie said and done, is blackening their Giegie…

Because the words they said and the things they did were indeed black spots!

So……

Can’t mention it!

To mention is that life is not satisfactory!

Why do you only stare at these “stupid” things that our family Giegie has done? Why not pay attention to his data?

The matter of his family Giegie can’t be mentioned, but a mouthful of “Jiobi” and “helicopter” is particularly energetic.

However, Derek Ross’s assessment of TNT is rare: “The series is 0-2 down, the biggest responsibility is indeed on me, I did not take the lead, played better than Li Wan, I will continue to work hard, we will return to New York again, wait, let’s see what happens next!” ”

It can be seen that Derek Ross plays a pivotal role in this team and even in the city.

With just one paragraph, he restored the fighting spirit of the whole of Chicago.

On May 22, the third game of the Eastern Conference finals moved to Chicago.

Derek Ross, who had set the flag the day before, led the game and showed a decisive effort at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Under his leadership, the entire Bulls also burst into a strong desire for survival, as Derek Ross said:

They’re coming back to New York again!

Strong willpower allowed them to play the most anxious first half, and at the end of the two quarters, they trailed by only 4 points, and when the second half began, the Bulls’ main players exploded in unison, scoring 37 points in a single quarter, helping the Bulls build an eight-point advantage.

When your hand is about to poke your opponent’s eye, they can still shoot the ball into the basket, you should know that this is a night for your opponent…

At the moment, most people in the New York Knicks have this in mind.

A lot of times, their defense doesn’t lose position and interferes very well, but the opponent is able to complete the goal.

However, Li Wan’s last-minute “scoring wave” scared the Chicago Bulls into a cold sweat.

Li Wan hit all 4 shots in the end, but the opposite side responded in time, causing Li Wan to cut 40 points, but failed to help the team get the final victory.

105 to 100, a 5-point difference, the Chicago Bulls held their home court and changed the big score to 1-2!

It was also the New York Knicks’ first playoff loss of the season.

Derek Ross fulfilled what he said he said he was going to do, and after winning the third game, the series would definitely have to go back to New York!

The Chicago media took this opportunity to praise Ross fiercely.

Even if he doesn’t end up being the next “Li Wan”, he is indeed the best defender player in “Windy City” after Michael Jordan!

The team holding its breath has become the New York Knicks…

No way, just the unreasonable feel of the third game of the Chicago Bulls series, who loses has no temper!

They admit that this Bulls is indeed much better than the opponents they faced in the first two rounds of this year’s playoffs, and has the ability to win them, but the problem is… This winning method is an exaggeration.

This is no longer playing basketball!

This is obviously burning “dog luck”!

In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks put a different amount of vigor into the defensive end.

Aren’t you very good at top throwing?

Come, Lao Tzu is now pasted like this, see how you enter!

If you have the ability, you will continue to burn your “dog luck”!

Facts have proved that the “dog luck” thing is indeed not available in every game, and the consumed “dog luck” needs to sacrifice other games to ensure the “conservation of character”.

In this game, the Bulls encountered “character conservation”, and how arrogant their shooting was in the last game, how embarrassing this game was.

The clearest example is Ruhr Deng, the last game the British shot 5 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and in this game shot 1 of 7 from outside the three-point line, that is called a “pole and pole”!

110-89, 21-point victory, allowing the New York Knicks to complete the “revenge” and win the fourth game of the series, while the score came to 3-1, the New York Knicks successfully won the Eastern Conference finals match point!

Chicago fans expected this result.

After all, the mutual restraint between the two strong points of Li Wan and Chris Bosh is indeed not something that ordinary teams can limit, not to mention that there are so many high-quality “puzzles” around them.

In fact, Derek Ross was surprised that he could do what he had set.

Well……

All right!

And it’s not just their surprise, New York fans are also surprised to see the Chicago Bulls win Game 3 of the series under Derek Rose. At the same time, the evaluation of Derek Ross soared.

Now in the hearts of New York Knicks fans, Rose is already the “second guard in the league” after Li Wan!

Yes, that’s right, whoever let them watch Li Wan’s home game more, in their eyes, this young man has a great future.

The core of the team in the first two rounds didn’t do it, and now Derek Rose did!

Then you must give a thumbs up!

After successfully getting the match point, the next game is home to the New York Knicks, so Li Wan paid a little attention to the current situation in the Western Conference Finals.

It is worth saying that the Thunder won the first game of the Western Conference Finals, and Li Wan did not take it seriously.

But now, with the Eastern Conference Finals playing 4 games and the Western Conference Finals coming to the 5th game of the series, Li Wan suddenly felt that something was wrong…

How does this Thunder team look …

It’s time for the finals!

It’s really not that Li Wan said it casually, but after the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder immediately won the second home game, although the Spurs returned home and adjusted and also won two home games, changing the big score to a 2-2 draw.

But the fifth game of the series was at the home of the Thunder, and the “Thunder Three Youngsters” broke out in unison, cutting 89 points together, helping the team gnaw the “Battle of Tianwang Mountain” and rewriting the big score to 3-2.

The Thunder are one step away from advancing to the Finals!
