MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 130 lakers championship
The full Auburn Hills Arena is silent at the moment.
In the center of the arena, the Magic team with less than 20 to 30 people who had just voted in front of 20,000 people was extraordinarily noisy.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, I just think they are noisy...
Master Lu, it's good to use it!
However, the Pistons audience in the auditorium did not feel that they were noisy. At this moment...
They didn't even have the strength to feel the Magic's celebratory noise.
June 1, 2007.
The "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" in the Eastern Conference finals.
LeBron stepped forward in a frustrating fourth quarter, scoring 29 of the team's final 30 points and helping the team win in overtime.
It was the "darkest hour" in the hearts of Pistons fans.
At least that's what they thought at the time.
until just now...
When Li Wan applied for a timeout and returned to the court, they discovered that it was far from the most desperate and helpless moment for the Pistons.
At any rate at that time, while LeBron James was scoring crazy points, the Pistons were also scoring continuously, and it was finally through overtime to decide the winner.
They can't do anything about LeBron James' historic physical talent, but it inspires their fighting potential.
Is this sport really about talent?
Hamilton and Wallace stood up respectively, and successively used the crucial middle distance to drag the game into overtime.
proved...
Talent does matter!
Hard work can close the gap!
Although they lost, when the Pistons players came off the court, they were more unwilling than they were helpless for the talent of LeBron James.
They are still struggling...
So the next game, they limited LeBron James to 27.2 percent from the field.
If there is no outbreak of Gibson, the Eastern Conference finals will usher in the tiebreaker!
And now...
When they looked at the big screen, Billups staggered, but the first reaction was to pounce on him and try to reach his hand forward as far as possible; Prince's long arm, which was all-powerful, swept in front of him; Rasheed Wallace's Hands almost touching the ball...
When they saw such a defense, Li Wan's ball went straight through the net, and their hearts were full of helplessness.
They understood what Popovich said after the "McGrady moment": The whole process is like you're lying in bed and watching him cut your heart one by one, but you can't do anything.
Not that nothing can be done...
And tried everything, but found that nothing was working.
They are all so helpless...
How desperate should the Pistons players on the field be?
Look at the appearance of "Pistons 4 Tigers" after the game!
Obviously they are, but to Detroit people, they are so unfamiliar...
The full of fighting spirit of "fighting the sky and fighting the earth, wanting to beat the sky and the half son" has disappeared.
This is the most important thing the Pistons have ever lacked, but tonight, Li Wan's limit goals against common sense time and time again broke up!
Everyone knows that even Pistons fans have to admit that this team has no chance of fighting again...
Excited to the madness of the entire Magic team, Li Wancheng lost about 30 seconds, maybe 40 seconds of body control.
He was shoved and swayed by all kinds of shoves, and then by the collective high toss, allowing him to enjoy the gravitational imbalance.
until they're done...
Li Wan is about the same.
The second effect of the "Little Prince of Reverse Melancholy" badge is awesome, but for him now, it was abruptly raised, although he enjoyed the thrill of wantonly swaying his talent for nearly 15 minutes.
The side effects that can be brought are also very large...
Other than that, Li Wan felt that the physical fitness tank had been emptied.
In addition, the whole body is a little weak.
Watching the ESPN reporter squatting next to him, waiting to interview him. He panted "hoho": "Would you mind if I just lay there for an interview?"
The reporter "ha" laughed, of course not!
Tonight's Li Wan, let alone interviewing him lying down, even if he was interviewing with hot pot and singing, he would shake his head without hesitation, and even help Li Wan order a Wagyu beef to add to the fun.
It was an incredible night.
He is also a senior reporter of ESPN. Although it is a pity that he has not experienced the "black and white competition", he has witnessed the whole process of Michael Jordan's "Road to God".
Then there's Shaq O'Neal's Los Angeles "Preached God".
As well as Tim Duncan's "Fujio Mingwang"-like stability and "extremely long standby".
But even so, he still couldn't hide his excitement in the first sentence at the beginning of the interview: "This is a great night!"
The only thing that makes him feel a little bit regretful is that...
This is not the Magic's home court.
Otherwise, the whole scene will definitely be even more crazy.
but…
The 20,000 Detroit fans who were proud of the Jagged Pistons lost their voices collectively...
This scene gave him another kind of shock.
In fact, compared to inside the arena, it was the most shocking picture when a large number of Pistons fans gathered outside the arena before the start of the game.
The Orlando Magic team reporter who witnessed the exit screen, Mike Trudell wrote in his article:
"Countless Detroiters left the Palace of Auburn Hills in despair, as if there were no believers in Jerusalem, scattered and aimless. Detroit, which was under the subprime mortgage crisis and in danger, was hit hard again, spiritual beliefs collapsed, and light and peace were taken away. It's hot. The long night is coming, and the Motor City is doomed to sleepless tonight!"
After Bogans' examination was over, he asked the team doctor to push him back to the locker room. There was a small TV in the room, but he didn't dare to turn it on. He was so nervous in the locker room waiting for the final result.
He felt tormented every second.
It only took 20 minutes from the start to the end of the game, but he felt the same as it had been 20 years.
Look at the time again, it's 40 minutes...
Is the game over already?
Why haven't you come back yet?
Is it possible to cry on the sidelines?
It's all because of me!
If I don't get hurt, just hold on for a while...
Is the result different?
He is suffering.
The door was pushed open!
The team doctor who had just pushed him in rushed in.
There was uncontrollable excitement on his face.
"We won, we won, we won!"
Won?
Won!
actually...
Won!
!
Bogans shook violently.
Almost jumped up with excitement.
This news made him suddenly enlightened, showing an excited look: "Really?"
"Of course, after you left the court, Li scored 26 points by himself. You don't even know how wonderful that goal was!"
So exciting that the team doctor forgot about Bogans in the locker room.
Like everyone else, he was so focused on the game that he was afraid of missing even a second.
Because, it is very possible, in that second, Li Wan will complete the incredible picture.
He was also in the middle of the celebration, and suddenly thought of Bogans who was waiting in the locker room, so he hurried over.
"How much, how much?"
Bogans' mouth was shaking.
2, 26 points?
26 points?
Bogans looked at the team doctor and nodded affirmatively.
The shock in his heart even made him forget the constant foot pain.
"I've never been a person who likes to make promises, but I can promise we'll leave Detroit with a victory!"
He suddenly recalled the promise Li Wan had made to him before he left the field.
He really did...
With a performance of 26 points in a single quarter...
As Bogans, who grew up watching Michael Jordan play, he still remembers many of Michael Jordan's supernatural moments.
But at this moment, without watching the video, Bogans still can't imagine how the highest score in the first 4 games was only 25 points, and the shooting percentage in a single game never exceeded 40%, how did Li Wan score in front of the Jagged Pistons 26 points in a single quarter...
He watched Jordan "become a god" and inevitably became Jordan's fans, fans, and even reached the level of "illegitimate meals" for a time.
But at least tonight...
Li Wan replaced Michael Jordan as the target he was willing to look up to.
There was even a bit of fanatical worship.
How far is the worship?
Let's just say...
If he is a woman, he must marry a man like Li Wan!
It is not only Bogans who has such an idea.
The domestic post bar has long gone crazy.
In addition to the various posts of "Brother Wan and Niu Bi" and "Brother Wan, I want to give you a monkey", a group of fans are already imagining the scene of Li Wan and Yao Ming teaming up in the upcoming Olympic Games!
Such an outside line, coupled with the NBA's top inside line...
It's not that domestic fans are floating...
They feel that breaking history is a sure thing, and they can be delisted if they get it wrong!
Not bronze, not silver, and gold is not unimaginable!
After all, basketball is not a sport like football.
On the football field, it is useless to just have one or two awesome people.
It's different on the basketball court.
A Yao Ming made the Huaxia men's basketball team an international quasi-first-class team.
Another Li Wan, that is definitely the top international team!
Such a team...
Wouldn't it be appropriate not to have a small goal of "sit three, look two and fight for one"?
"With Li Wan, we can at least make it to the top 4 this year..."
Yao Ming thought so too.
He just watched the entire Magic vs. Pistons game.
When Bogans fell to the ground, he thought the Magic were going to lose.
Although this guy is not the tactical core of the Magic's starting lineup, in such a situation, any bad accident will become a burden for others.
But he didn't expect that Li Wan would have such potential in such desperate situation...
When the buzzer sounded, Yao Ming felt his body tremble slightly unconsciously.
Li Wan let him see the picture of the men's basketball team breaking through the top 8 and entering the top 4 in this year's Olympic Games.
From 1998 to now, in 10 years, from a young rookie covered by seniors, to the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team and the torchbearer of the Olympic Games.
Yao Ming's only regret is that he still failed to break through the threshold of the top 8 in the Olympic Games.
The birth of Li Wan gave him hope, and his performance tonight made him sure that the Chinese men's basketball team with Li Wan can definitely realize the dream of two or three generations of Chinese basketball players: from the top 8 to the top 4!
so…
"If he has any requirements, it's best to agree to all of them... Don't worry, his temper is a bit problematic, but he won't make any excessive demands."
On the phone with Yao Ming, he is from the "Property Management Center".
He has arrived in Orlando and is about to meet Li Wan and formally invite the latter to join the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.
In fact, according to the meaning of "property management", it is enough to call Li Wan after the training camp and let him report. There is no need to do such a grand event.
The national team is calling people, are there still people who can't come?
It was only Yao Ming's request several times, and they had to agree.
Now, it seems to be right.
They also knew what happened in Detroit not long ago, and refreshed their understanding of Li Wan.
This 20-year-old boy may really be the key to the success of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team in the Olympic Games...
However, what Yao Ming said to them in the end made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Whatever he asks, it's best to agree to it...
Do we really need to keep our stance this low?
Yao Ming may have also heard the reluctance in their words, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and even his brows were slightly wrinkled. He could already have a hunch that Li Wan's joining the China Men's Basketball Team would not go well.
Maybe when the time comes, his attitude needs to be a little tougher!
Los Angeles.
The Lakers, who played the fifth game of the series on the same day as the Magic, officially eliminated the Jazz 4-1 after overtime. After 5 years, Kobe returned to the stage of the Western Conference finals!
Two rounds left, 8 victories!
Just like the elimination of the Nuggets before, Kobe Bryant didn't have a smile on his face tonight.
The championship is still on the way, and they still need to remain vigilant.
But what the reporter said to him next made him stunned for a moment...
Li Wan…
28 points in the last quarter...
Destroy the Pistons...
He clearly knew these words, but he never thought that one day, these words would be put together!
Kobe, who has seen strong winds and waves, believes that he knows Li Wan, and will no longer be surprised by any news about him, has a brief absence at this moment...
This guy…
How did it get done?
Although last year's LeBron James just did that once in the Eastern Conference finals, judging from the regular season record, this year's Pistons are more aggressive than last year's Pistons. Many media say they saw the Pistons in 0506. shadow.
Although Kobe knows that it is definitely not as good as the original, but looking at the regular season match, the defensive ability is really strong!
Anyway, Li Wan's performance in the first 4 games of this series was not as good as the previous round against Menglong. He was really not surprised at all.
Originally, he expected the strength of this Magic team to last until Game 6 of the series.
Yes!
"Black Mamba" thinks the "trash boy" who almost became his "Pippen" is going to be slapped in the face this time!
Can result...
How did you do it?
Kobe is still more curious about this!
No matter how he imagined it, he couldn't imagine Li Wan scoring 26 points in the final quarter against the Pistons.
It's a piston...
The "old fairies" who suffocate their opponents as they fight more and more...
What the **** did Li Wan do!
When he had doubts in his heart for the third time, a reporter brought him a playback picture.
Before seeing it, Kobe couldn't imagine how Li Wan did it.
After watching, he...
Is this Li Wan?
Could this be the hanged man?
I don't know, I thought it was Michael Jordan wearing No. 23 of the Magic team!
Kobe sighed like a "glider" in his heart.
No wonder, how long has he been studying Jordan?
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the person who is most familiar with Jordan's body. Li Wan's last jump shot really gave him the illusion that Li Wan was Jordan!
Yes…
Only the god-level performance of Michael Jordan can complete such a performance!
Kobe understands what's going on, but there are still all kinds of stormy waves in his heart...
If it were in "Breaking the Sphere", Kobe would definitely take a breath of air at this moment, and said in horror: "This child is so terrifying, he must be my enemy in Los Angeles, and he must not stay!"
Kobe was so surprised, let alone everyone else...
In the next day's media, Li Wan's name swiped again:
"With 28 points in the final quarter, the Pistons were destroyed, and Li Wan's "nerve knife" exploded again! 》
Li Wan, who scored 42 points in the battle of "Tianwang Mountain" and scored 28 points in the final quarter, Los Angeles, do you regret it? 》
"Pistons "Tianwangshan" meets "LeBron James" again, Sanders: No, he is even more desperate than LeBron James! 》
…
42 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists...
28 points in the fourth quarter...
Made 5 of 5 3-pointers in a single quarter…
On the stage of the playoffs, facing the traditional giant Detroit Pistons, it is already very difficult to complete any of the above three items, and it is worth reporting!
And Li Wan...
Do all three!
This can cause, naturally, it is impossible to just sigh or be surprised at this level of reaction, this is a "big shock" at the national level!
Many legendary superstars have stood up and expressed their incredibleness.
Barkley agrees with Sanders: "It's really crazier than what LeBron James did last year..."
Last year's LeBron James scored 25 points in a single quarter and 29 of the last 30 points, perfectly explaining "what is historical physical talent".
And Li Wan last night...
The whole thing is the extreme operation that makes the defender helpless!
so…
Last year's Pistons ended up dragging the game into overtime anyway.
And this year's Pistons, when there were 3 minutes left in the game, there was almost no communication on the field, and their anger was broken at that moment.
So much so that in the end they lost 14 points!
The "New York Times" once again pulled Thomas out and whipped his body, defining him as "the sinner in the history of New York"!
Thomas was about to cry, but would I have hesitated if you hadn't ridiculed me to trade up for draft picks?
If I don't hesitate, will I still change it?
How irritating!
He was too aggrieved, even more aggrieved than Michael Jordan for not letting him into the "Dream Team", for playing better than the ball, and for taking an elbow from Karl Malone.
It's a pity that after he was dismissed from the New York management, his reputation in the NBA has become disreputable, and there is no channel to vent his grievances. He can only complain on Twitter.
As a result, hundreds of records were refreshed, and none of them could be read...
As for Li Wan's first home team, the Los Angeles media where the Lakers are located, today's report should have been a joyous celebration of the Lakers entering the Western Conference finals.
After knowing Li Wan's performance last night, the media suddenly felt that the food in their hands was not fragrant.
The whole mood is in four words: pain, too much pain!
At the same time as the "shock" in the United States, Li Wan returned to Orlando with the team, and the Magic fans came to pick up the plane again, and this time, the scale was much larger than before, inside and outside, three layers inside and three layers outside.
When Li Wan's figure appeared in front of them, the crowd cheered as if they had been trained:
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
…
Since Li Wan came to Orlando, Magic fans have not been dissatisfied for a day! And last night, Li Wan's operation after Bogans was injured and left the court made him completely enter the hearts of Magic fans!
If there is now a media campaign to ask "who is most likely to lead the Magic to the first championship in team history", they will definitely fill in Li Wan's name without hesitation...
Yes, they were conquered!
That performance last night...
How many are not conquered?
Li Wan responded to these cheers with a smile and waved. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he had heard an "MVP" on such a scale.
Originally he was in Los Angeles, no matter what kind of performance he played, the most he could cause was the shouting of his name in unison.
Because, that's the Lakers...
Los Angeles during this period, Kobe Bryant is irreplaceable MVP.
The light of others is automatically masked.
That's why I came to Orlando...
Li Wan is undoubtedly very excited, and he also believes that no one will not be excited by this!
He smiled in response to everyone's cheers, and the rest of the Magic consciously pulled away from him.
They know that this is what Li Wan's crazy performance last night deserved.
This includes Howard...
It's just that his expression is somewhat unsightly.
Since being selected by the city in 2004, he has consciously believed that he is Orlando's "son of the city", carrying the responsibility and obligation for the Magic to win the first championship in history.
He has also been working hard in this direction, one step a year...
But at this moment...
Hearing what he thought was "his people" shouting "MVP" for others, his heart sank.
Even if this person is Li Wan.
He couldn't help but want to ask...
Orlando, why?
Obviously it's me first!
"What's the matter, Dwight? Why is your face so bad, why is it uncomfortable?" Turkoglu, who was next to him, noticed Howard's expression was a little more serious, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.
"Oh, it's okay, maybe I haven't woken up yet..." Howard hurriedly concealed his expression, showing a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Turkoglu didn't think much about it. On the plane just now, Howard did sleep until the plane landed.
When they came out of the airport, the magic team disbanded, and Li Wan was surprised to find that Tyron had come to pick up the plane.
"How did you come?"
This guy shouldn't be in Orlando lately.
Tai Lun waited for him to get in the car. He didn't start the car in a hurry, but turned to look at Li Wan: "Well, the person in charge of the property has called..."
Li Wan raised his eyebrows, is he coming?
Hmm... it's time to come!
Tyron told the whole thing again.
It turned out that the property management directly called Li Wan and failed to get through, so he called Tai Lun. After Tyron knew the purpose of the property management, he did not dare to make a decision by himself, so he came to Orlando in the middle of the night last night.
"They said that if it was convenient, they would like to meet and talk tonight."
After Tai Lun conveyed everything he said about the property management, he stopped talking and waited for Li Wan to make his own decision.
Li Wan didn't even think about it, and said directly: "I'm gone, I'm too tired, there will be a game tomorrow... Didn't I ask you to write a contract earlier? You ask them to meet at night, if you agree, just tell The time and place of my training camp is fine, if you don’t agree with it…”
Li Wan paused for a moment, and sighed regretfully.
"If you don't agree, then forget it..."
"Row!"
Tai Lun nodded, and after sending Li Wan to his home, he asked the property management person to meet. When they heard that Li Wan could not come to meet because of the competition, and entrusted the agent with a plenipotentiary representative, they were very dissatisfied. Yao Ming made a phone call.
Approximate meaning: This is the person you recommended? Are you still polite?
Yao Ming didn't expect that this could be related to attitude. Everyone explained the reason. There will be a game tomorrow, so you must be fully prepared for the game.
It's people's work after all!
But they still had to be patient and let them talk to Tyron first to see Li Wan's attitude.
In fact, the property management people have nothing to do, because the above means that as much as possible to ensure that Li Wan can participate in the men's basketball team this time.
It's all about getting results!
If they give up the invitation because of this, they will not be able to make a difference when they go back.
so…
Dissatisfaction turned into dissatisfaction. In addition to complaining that it was really troublesome not in the **, they still met with Tyron.
When seeing the contract that Tyron came up with, the requirements above, they…
It's fried again!
First, do not register with the Basketball Association, only join the Olympic Games in the form of a contract. After the Olympic Games, the cooperation will be terminated;
Second, an NBA-level trainer team and logistical support must be deployed;
Third, during the game, it is not expected that non-basketball professionals will lead or command the team;
There are not many requirements, only three,
But looking at each one, people couldn't help but want to scold his attitude and thoughts.
Yao Ming's head was about to explode when he heard their complaints, but they didn't agree to compromise.
What does this look like!
In the future, other players will follow suit. Will property management still have prestige?
Seeing that he couldn't talk to them, Yao Ming hung up the phone and made a call directly to the country. After explaining the pros and cons, he got the guarantee from the country, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was actually ready, and shouted at "Property Management": If Li Wan doesn't come, I won't fight!
Don't underestimate Yao Ming's determination...
Back then, he just came to the NBA by threatening to retire.
This year, his belief that he wants to break through history in the Olympics is no worse than coming to the NBA back then!
Fortunately, it didn't go to the worst.
Li Wan quickly got feedback from Tai Lun, and it is not surprising that the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history is right in front of us, and there are still the advantages of the host. I am not so optimistic about delisting, even if it is to break the best record in history. , rushed into the top 4, which is tempting enough.
As for what is not registered in the property management, the Chinese men's basketball team cannot be called.
Do you know what "special talents, green channels" mean?
When a person is important enough, the world will give in for him.
Just like Xiaoguzi later...
The first one is fine, what's the problem with the other two?
Li Wan's purpose in doing this is also very simple, to avoid a lot of trouble with the "property management" after he has registered in the property management for the Olympic Games.
The most realistic, you are a registered athlete, the money you make is not...
In short, Li Wan, who was afraid of trouble, chose to cut across the board.
The second is to configure an NBA-level training team to ensure that his own body will not be manipulated by those unprofessional teams.
But he can't bring the team into the team by himself, so he is suspected of playing a "big name".
In doing so, he does not have to "play a big name" and is worthy of his own body.
After all, his body has cost nearly 400,000 knives since last summer...
However, this time, the firmness of the property management was a bit unexpected. He originally thought that even if the property management agreed to his request, it would have to go through Yao Ming's efforts, but he did not expect to agree so quickly...
Yao Ming: Then you don't know, I have worked hard!
This is basically settled.
The next day, the Orlando Magic returned to home for Game 6 of the series.
Magic fans heard good news before the game: Bogans, who left the game early last game, just twisted his ankle. After two days of rest, he was almost better. He played in Game 6 of the series without any problems at all. .
All in place, now waiting for the Pistons to come in.
They're ready for a huge boo!
only…
When all the Pistons appeared at the Amway Arena, not only the reporters on the sidelines, but also the Orlando fans on the scene were full of surprises...
Is this really the iron-blooded Pistons?
The whole team was lifeless and looked like a walking corpse that had drained its soul. Many fans feel that the Pistons in the NBA2k games they play are more like real people than they are.
Speaking of 2k, there is another very interesting story. In 2k07, Li Wan's ability value was 61 at the beginning. After the preseason, 2k adjusted his ability value to 69. When the regular season ends in February, 2k adjusted his stat to 74 again. I heard that after Li Wan's game last night, a group of fans went to make trouble again, and felt that 74's stat was still too low.
If 2k changes him again this time, it will be the 4th adjustment.
This guy…
It’s okay to toss in the alliance, and the virtual space is not spared.
2k programmers, because of him, don't know how much code has been re-typed.
Otherwise, some players keep saying, where is Li Wan, what about the "nerve knife" attribute? What about the big heart? Just an ordinary Lakers (Magic) rookie!
Li Wan was a little surprised, but not so surprised.
The fans and reporters at the scene were surprised by the fact that in their impression, the Pistons could not collapse.
But Li Wan has seen the defunct Pistons. In the original 2009 playoffs, the Pistons entered the league as the eighth place in the Eastern Conference and were eliminated 4-0 by the Cavaliers. They had no power to fight back.
The situation back then was similar to what it is now.
The only difference is...
The original Pistons lost their temper because Billups left, making others think they had been betrayed by management and didn't want to play.
The current Pistons team, the spirit in their hearts, was beaten to death by Li Wan's superb performance last night!
It's like the "garbage brother" of the Menglong team later, it is a reason that it is misfired when it encounters LeBron. LeBron can make eight finals, and these two brothers are really helping and clearing obstacles...
Such a Pistons team is obviously incompetent.
Not to mention that the Magic team who returned to the home court is full of momentum, especially Howard, whose performance and enthusiasm are much better than the first 5 games of the series.
Li Wan vaguely saw the shadow of the peak of Howard in this game.
It seems that this round of series Howard has grown up!
Of course he couldn't think of it, but what Howard was thinking at the moment was...
What about MVPs?
What about the MVP's voice?
Can't this performance make you sound the voice of MVP?
He's taking on the Magic fans...
In the end, at the end of the game, Howard scored 16 points and 15 rebounds in the "Double 15" data, and also got 4 blocks, helping the team beat the Pistons with a score difference of 108 to 93, 15 points.
From the Magic's score and the difference between the two teams, it can be seen that the "Iron Piston" really collapsed.
Li Wan also performed very well in this game, with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.
3 of them were given to Howard.
In addition, Lewis was fed three times and Turkoglu twice.
The remaining one, of course, was given to Bogans.
With his assists, the Magic took off.
In addition to Howard scored 16 points, Lewis threw 4 three-pointers in this game and scored 16 points, while Turkoglu scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
It can be said that tonight is the magic team's full force, won the fourth victory of the series.
When the buzzer sounded in the audience, Li Wan's sentence sounded again: Pistons will die, magic will stand!
Nine days ago, when Li Wan shouted this slogan, the whole Orlando was cheered up...
But at the time, not many people thought that this could really be done!
It's a piston after all!
Unexpectedly...
It was a success!
And, most importantly!
Just look at the Pistons guys off the court...
They were apparently really "dead".
Kenny Smith said: "An era is over!"
4-2!
The Magic officially eliminated the Pistons and reached the Eastern Conference finals again after 12 years.
When the news spread all over the United States, many fans still couldn't believe that the "Iron Piston" really fell like this.
Orlando Magic…
It looks like a real revival!
With the decline of the old dynasty, the Magic has officially entered the sight of the entire league.
The rise of any strong team is accompanied by a tough battle. Obviously, winning the Pistons' Magic Team is equivalent to finishing the battle of proof that belongs to them.
Many media believe that the Celtics or Cavaliers are in serious trouble.
They also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Magic against these two teams:
Against the "Big Three" of the Celtics, although the Magic has no obvious advantage, it also has no obvious disadvantage.
Although Pierce is difficult to defend, Turkoglu is also a great threat to the Celtics' flank;
Bogans just finished defending Hamilton in the second round, and against Ray Allen of the same style, there must be no problem in adaptability;
In the interior, it is difficult for Perkins to limit Howard's performance. Although Kevin Garnett is currently the best helper in the league, don't forget that the Magic's No. 4 is "long-range battery" Lewis, Kevin - Garnett is really not necessarily able to cover everything;
If against the Cavaliers, the disadvantage may be even smaller.
Gibson used a season to prove that he is indeed not a "crown prince", and the Cavaliers need to pay attention, it is still just a LeBron James...
But this season's LeBron James won the season's "scoring champion", but he really wants to talk about the degree of evolution...
Especially on the offensive end, there is really not much change.
It is nothing more than that the body is more sluggish, and the rush is more fierce.
Projection remains fraught with instability.
Having said that, as far as his style of play, such a rush, is doomed to be unstable...
LeBron without a shot...
The Spurs have personally demonstrated how to defend!
precisely:
The Magic have Howard, and the defensive end is only stronger than Tim Duncan in 2007.
Perfect for the Spurs' defensive system.
Seriously, in the 2009 Cavaliers in the playoffs, everyone had a fight, and it was really hard to fight against the Magic, and that was for them...
However, this point has not yet been noticed by the media.
When they analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams the Magic encountered, they also highlighted one person... Li Wan!
In the 6 games of the second round of the series, Li Wan averaged 20.6 points, 5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks. It looked good, but in fact, it was all due to the super **** in the 5th game. It looks ugly.
Just look at this guy's shooting average...
He averaged 39.5 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from 3-point range per game, including Game 5 where he shot more than 50 percent from the field.
otherwise…
I really don't see it.
Can!
Since Game 5 of the series, whether it's the Cavaliers or the Celtics, dare to underestimate him?
The answer is obvious.
And the more uncomfortable point is that even if he was locked in the first and second games, it does not mean that he can be taken lightly in the next few games.
Look at the Pistons, isn't the defense against him good enough in the first 4 games?
Shouldn't the fifth explosion still be an explosion?
The worst thing is that once he explodes, it will not just make people feel prickly or have a headache...
That's straight to death!
The media analyzed Meng Ruhu all the time, but it started with the Western Conference finals. The Lakers, who eliminated the Jazz 4-1, met with the Spurs, who eliminated the Rockets 4-1, in the Western Conference finals.
This is also an old show in the NBA playoffs.
Their story can be summed up simply as:
You are here, I am here.
You're not here, I'm here.
You are back, I am still here.
Kobe Bryant, who had run out of thousands of sails, met Tim Duncan again.
Years make "Heiman?
??" became vicissitudes.
"Rookie No. 21" is still "Rookie No. 21".
Another year of "Huma" war...
Tim Duncan put a thousand words into one sentence:
You are old, Kobe!
But he still had the urge to say something to Kobe: The future is yours!
The Western Conference finals are here.
The Magic are still waiting for their Eastern Conference finals opponent.
As Li Wan knows...
The second round met the Cavaliers' Celtics, who played seven more games...
Even the process is exactly the same as the first round!
The Celtics have won all four home games.
3 away games, the Celtics have lost!
4-3!
Celtics tough out Cavaliers…
Now you know how difficult it is for them, right?
As long as they lose one more game in the first two rounds, their championship will be gone!
For the Celtics, who led the league with 64 wins in the regular season, this was something they could never have imagined before the playoffs started.
co-authored…
The regular season is all about acting, right?
The three old guys just stumbled into the Eastern Conference finals.
Waiting for them is the Magic Team, who has rested for three days and is full of energy.
To be honest, the Celtics "Big Three" are a little bit flustered.
As a result, the Eagles and Cavaliers, who had not had a good record in the first two rounds, bit a piece of meat from them, which made them somewhat embarrassed against the Magic team with a better record;
Second, the Magic beat the Pistons! That iron-blooded piston, even if the Boston Celtics encounter it, is not guaranteed to win...
It's such a team, but the Magic are finished.
Three to...
As the media said, as soon as the Chinese rookie broke out, who can guarantee that they will not become the next Pistons team to be broken up!
They watched the defense in that game, and even if they were not there, they could see the unreasonable goals on the screen, which turned the Pistons from fighting spirited resistance to insensitivity.” The Walking Dead", seriously, the game was over, and the hearts of all three were throbbing violently.
Rivers even said bluntly, "This Eastern Conference Finals is the Finals!"
In the previous game, he let everyone in the Celtics play as the finals, and the next Eastern Conference, in his opinion, is the opponent at the finals level...
Thibodeau did not give the Celtics any rest time, and the "death" attribute attacked. The next morning after the Cavaliers were resolved, they began to practice for the Eastern Conference finals.
In the Celtics, whether it is the "Big Three" or other players, you have to ask them if they are tired?
must be tired!
Can…
Some are eliminated and there is time to rest.
Now, the immortal will be stronger in the end!
During these few days.
The league announced the remaining awards one after another.
The "Best Defensive Player Award" belongs to Kevin Garnett as before.
44% of the votes.
When this result came out, Howard was furious!
If he didn't win this award, he was prepared...
But with only 2% of the vote, isn't it a bit too disrespectful to me?
After all, I'm the "rebounding king" this season!
Worth saying, almost...
Marcus Camby got the award again, coming in second.
In this regard, Li Wan can only say one thing: these guys really only look at the data!
"Block King" is "Defensive Player of the Year", right?
This season, the Magic can be ranked third in the Eastern Conference. Howard's defense has played a lot of roles. It can only be said that the new army that has just risen is really not taken seriously.
Later Derrick Rose, if he hadn't said those words before the start of the season, he probably wouldn't have won the regular season MVP...
These are the unspoken rules of the league.
NBA…
Also pay attention to a seniority ranking.
Then in the first game of the Western Conference finals between the Spurs and the Lakers, Bryant also received the ultimate award of the regular season this season. It is also the first in Bryant's career. If there is no change in the future, it will also be his only regular season MVP award. .
Los Angeles reporters and Lakers fans lamented that it was not easy.
It is said that Kobe's superb performance when he won two "scoring champions" in the past two years has long been eligible for this award.
Now I have finally won this heavyweight award that fits my status!
In terms of superstars, if you don't have a regular season MVP, really...
Are embarrassed to go out!
Kobe Bryant, who won the MVP, was also a bit more aggressive than usual that night, and the Spurs didn't have enough wings for him to play.
His offense gradually formed a check. On the No. 1 position, Nelson Jr. used his breakthroughs to pierce Tony Parker's defense constantly. Coupled with Paul Gasol's restrictions on Tim Duncan on the offensive end, the Lakers The team easily won the first game of the Western Conference finals with a smooth offense.
110 to 97…
Watching the helpless Spurs leave the field alone, the next day a group of media chanted "Lakers championship" in unison.
No wonder, along the way, a 4-0, and a 4-1, and now the first game against the Spurs is so easy, the Lakers have not even seen their upper limit.
Look east.
The Celtics stumbled in the first two rounds, and their chances of winning the championship plummeted.
In these two rounds of "tie-breaks", they exposed big problems: First, under the strict rhythm, the Celtics' penalty area is prone to problems. It is true that Kevin Garnett is good at offense and defense. Why did he come to Boston from Minnesota to continue chasing the championship dream? Isn't it because he can only care about one side?
At the same time, the entire team relies too much on mid-to-long shots.
Ray Allen's restraint from beyond the three-point line was only a restraint. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, he hardly played much.
Especially the second-round series against the Cavaliers:
Averaged just 9.3 points per game while shooting 32.8 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from the field.
Without his long shot, Rajon Rondo is another "shooter"...
You can imagine how much the Celtics rely on the mid-range.
Any team that exposes so many problems is unlikely to be a favorite for a championship.
And the Magic's problem...
Lee Wan decides on their cap...
In other words, the Magic can't give Li Wan much support. In the few games that the Pistons won, except for the third game of the series, which was opened with constant tactical changes, the other games were all inseparable from Li Wan. Wan's performance, including the last game, was also Li Wan's "dealing" of various cards. This team's running-in on both ends of the offense and defense has not yet reached their best state.
Moreover, although this team is compared with the Celtics and Cavaliers, there is not much problem.
But if the opponent is replaced by the Lakers...
That problem is still quite big~www.novelbuddy.com~ The most intuitive, the Lakers have Lamar Odom on the bench, and the Magic team is on the bench. Looking around, there is no Mao.
Therefore, the Lakers have become the biggest favorite right now.
However, after the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, all the reviews were reversed immediately.
Because Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Ray Allen suddenly felt hot, and threw 7 three-pointers in a game, proving that Bogans can follow Hamilton, but it does not mean that he can follow him.
Compared with Hamilton, he is more accustomed to shooting from the mid-range, and Ray Allen prefers to shoot three-pointers. In addition, Ray Allen's ability to get rid of himself is much better than Hamilton.
Bogans really didn't know what to do with him.
The first game of the Eastern Conference finals, 100 to 89, the Celtics easily won.
