MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 131 Stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals and Li Wan beat Kevin Garnett to tears?
, basketball: starting from the nerve knife
In Game 2 of the series, the Magic exposed their lack of bench strength again.
On the Celtics bench, Eddie House, James Posey and "Alien" Cassell; on the Magic team's bench, the only one who can name is Ken Young- Doolin, although there is still a "Polish Hammer" in the future, but this season, he played 6 games in the regular season, and only 6.8 minutes of playing time per game. Now he is a "hammer".
Among the teams that have not been eliminated in the East and West finals, the Magic's bench is definitely the weakest, and there is no one...
At this stage of the playoffs, they are basically the seeded players in the finals, the kind that are armed from head to toe. The Magic team is also armed, but it may only be a set of armor.
It's not just the Magic that has such a problem. It takes time for the newly promoted tycoons to settle down.
And just like that, the Celtics easily started 2-0.
But the media in Boston couldn't laugh...
Not only because of Li Wan, but also because of the first two rounds of the playoffs, Boston also solved the opponent very simply, but on the road, they began to lose again.
They are all in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Celtics, as the "King's Division" with 64 wins, have yet to win an away game.
This is not just "away bug", it's simply "away pus".
So, in the end, we will have to wait until the Magic's home game on May 17 to know.
On May 16, the third game of the Western Conference finals kicked off. After the Lakers successfully won two home games, they went to San Antonio. At the same time, the NBA's annual lottery conference officially arrived.
The top five in the league last season were: Heat, SuperSonics, Grizzlies, Clippers and New York Knicks…
Among them, the Heat with the highest probability of winning the No. 1 pick is naturally the Heat with a record of only 15 wins and 67 losses in the regular season.
Pat Riley's slump is insane.
The probability is there, the "God Operator" is not at ease, and sent a capable cadre Dwyane Wade to participate in the lottery meeting. I hope he can be the same as in the 2006 finals, and he will be there!
The other four teams with the lowest record also sent "lucky things" in their opinion:
The person who participated in the lottery on behalf of Seattle was Kevin Durant, a temperamental man whom he hadn’t seen for a long time;
The person who participated in the lottery on behalf of the Grizzlies was Mike Conley;
The person who drew lots on behalf of the Clippers was "Master Baylor" who "doesn't have that kind of fate and doesn't believe in fate";
In the middle of the season, the newly rebuilt New York Knicks were officially demolished. With the idea of "new people, new things and new luck", the newly appointed head coach Mike D'Antoni came. —The day after the Suns were eliminated, Steve Kerr decisively fired Mike D’Antoni. He felt that his thinking was fine, but D’Antoni was the problem. "Run and Boom".
Unfortunately, these people did not bring good luck to their respective teams.
The number one pick is still the same as what Li Wan knew, belonging to the Chicago Bulls with only a 1.7% probability.
Miami is still the same as before, getting the second overall pick in the first round.
quite high...
It's just that Li Wan estimated that Pat Laili's face should be ugly.
Such a big old man, and his status in the rivers and lakes is also there. David Stern plays as much as he wants to, without giving any face.
That!
Don't blame me for being ruthless!
In the dimly lit room, Pat Riley smashed the chess set in front of him.
Clear the chessboard...
I declare... stop playing!
Chicago has a group of carnival fans. In order to celebrate this big good thing, many fans also like to mention "prison tour", "City of Sin" is especially sinful on this day.
It's really... happy, killing me to cheer everyone up.
On May 17, the Magic and the Celtics started the third game of the series.
Yesterday, the Spurs, who were also behind 0-2, returned to the home court and successfully pulled back a game, rewriting the big score to 2-1.
Coupled with the fact that the Boston Celtics have yet to win a road game, Orlando, from the media to fans, thinks this is a good sign.
So much so that when the Celtics entered the field ahead of schedule, they watched as a group of bidders sold Seoul.
There is also Sun Zhengping in the -5 studio who has this feeling. He frowned: "I feel like the Celtics didn't sleep well last night!"
When the Magic team, especially Li Wan, came out, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Look, I don't know, I thought the Celtics were 0-2 behind, and the Magic team will definitely win this game tonight. It's gone!"
Director Zhang didn't say a word during the period with Su Qun, and when he heard Sun Zhengping say "definitely won", his expression was as outrageous as it was outrageous.
This game has not been played yet, is it sure to win?
Old grandson, we can get "justice"!
Sun Zhengping said "auspicious words", and the game officially started, with both sides starting:
Celtics: Rajon Rondo at No. 1, Ray Allen at No. 2, Paul Pierce at No. 3, Kevin Durant at No. 4, Perkins at No. 5;
Magic: Li Wan at No. 1, Bogans at No. 2, Turkoglu at No. 3, Lewis at No. 4, Howard at No. 5;
Howard jumped the ball steadily in the contest with Kevin Durant.
The Magic's lead.
After Li Wan got the ball, it could be seen that not only the Celtics players on the court were nervous, but Rivers and Thibodeau off the court were also more upright than usual.
This is how Li Wan is treated in this series.
As long as you get the ball, it will definitely be the focus of the Celtics.
Li Wan held the ball against Rajon Rondo, and after attracting a double-team on the flank, gave the ball to Turkoglu.
The Turks raised their hands.
3-0!
Li Wan's set of sudden points has now joined the Magic's "offensive package". Because he can pass Howard on the inside and three pitchers standing outside the three-point line.
The choice is too wide...
Well, the standard Magic's version of "One Star, Four Shots".
Originally, it would take until the 2008-2009 season when Nelson Jr. further developed to achieve the effect. This time, because of the arrival of Li Wan, the Magic team got it out in advance.
Rajon Rondo looked at Li Wan, who was "watching from a distance", and his "poker face" was expressionless.
Not only was there no expression on his face, but he was also expressionless in his heart.
Life is like,,, if you can't resist, you just lie down.
Besides, some things just get used to...
Not only get used to it, but also self-comfort...
He's so far away from me, it's not that I can't shoot, it's that I'm too good at driving.
The current Rajon Rondo would be surprised if he saw that the opposite was not a "telescope" defense.
Little thing, definitely didn't pay attention in class.
If there is no breakthrough, there will be no double team, no double team. After Rajon Rondo commanded his teammates to land, he gave the ball to Paul Pierce on the flank.
I have no idea of attacking myself.
Turkoglu intercepted it for the first time.
Defense has never been the strength of the "Turkish Agent", especially after moving to the 3rd position, he has no explosive power and slow pace. When encountering those explosive animals, there is nothing he can do.
For example, in the first round of this year's playoffs, he defended Moon, who had no ability to hold the ball. He was exploited by the opponent's slow footsteps and made several empty cuts.
But well...
Playing the Celtics in this series so far, his defense of Paul Pierce has been very successful.
His advantage is that his skin is rough and fleshy, and he can fight.
Just a little restraint Paul Pierce's "floor flow" play.
That is, the explosive power of Turkoglu is really close, otherwise the restraint is really not just a little bit!
Barely resisting the high post, Paul Pierce turned over for a jumper, attracted Bogans on the flank, and immediately threw the ball into Ray Allen's hands.
"Shh!"
3-3, the points difference is tied.
Ray Allen has made 10 3-pointers in the first two games of the series.
Those who said he was the "lowest contribution of the Big Three" in the first two rounds were all gone.
Look at the state of this game as soon as it comes up, it looks like it will be a game with a lot of presence.
Bogans shook his head, the ball almost flew over his fingernails, and he almost intercepted it.
Li Wan patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, the game has just started."
His words fell into Bogans' ears, as if with magic power, and suddenly the latter was resurrected with blood.
Giving the ball to Turkoglu in the frontcourt, Li Wan began to move without the ball. Bogans, who was just inspired, suddenly made a counter-run cover while moving. Li Wan successfully got rid of Rajon Rondo's pursuit. Three-pointer from the bottom corner.
6-3!
As soon as Li Wan scored, the entire arena was immediately filled with cheers.
Thibodeau in front of the Celtics jumped as if his tail was being stepped on: "Change defenses faster, the opposite is crossed, can't you react?"
Strange to say...
The Celtics' switching quality at home is pretty good.
This time, even if Bogans's cover was suddenly given, Li Wan would not be completely empty.
Once again it was the Celtics' turn to attack.
The Magic concentrated a lot of defensive resources in the mid-range. Paul Pierce had no choice but to push the defense and break through the basket.
Howard let him know with a big hat, the magic team's penalty area, if you are so brave, you can sell it!
With the ball in Li Wan's hands, the offense and defense switched, and Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen's retreat and defense were quite fast. Li Wan simply gave up the fast break with the ball.
However, just when the Celtics thought the Magic was going to land first, Li Wan, who held the ball beyond the three-point line, raised his hand and shot. Rajon Rondo was glancing at the side from the corner of his eye, and Li Wan's shot was somewhat caught off guard.
When he raised his hand, the ball had already flown from Li Wan's hand.
9-3!
Magic open with 3 3-pointers...
Called a timeout directly to the Celtics.
Instructor Zhang is not surprised.
In the third game of the series, Li Wan gradually gained a nickname called "Two goals must be stopped".
It means that as long as Li Wan scores two goals in a row, the Celtics will definitely call a timeout, which is a little exaggerated compared to the actual situation. But it did happen a few times that Li Wang immediately called a timeout after scoring two goals.
The most outrageous one was in the first quarter of the previous game. Li Wan missed four shots in front and just scored two goals in two consecutive rounds. The Celtics immediately and resolutely called a timeout.
Even though they were 8 points ahead...
Sun Zhengping took this opportunity to ask: "Director Zhang, please briefly comment on the start of the Magic team today..."
The "Zhang Guiding Classroom" that I like to hear and hear has started again: "The Magic team played very reasonably at the beginning, shot inside and outside, and played very reasonably, I, pass out and play back, pass out and play back, you burst, he defended, and then divided , the outside shot and the hit rate, such a team is difficult to guard..."
Others don't know, anyway, Sun Zhengping's face is full of satisfaction.
After the time-out time passed, Li Wan, who felt very good, returned to the court and continued to strengthen his personal attack.
Scored 9 points in a single quarter.
Under his play, the Magic also ended the first quarter with a 29-22 lead.
Three games into the Eastern Conference finals, this was the first time the Magic led into the second quarter.
After this section was played, Li Wan had a feeling...
No wonder the Celtics never won away.
This defensive quality is at least a notch worse than when they were at home.
As for the reason, Li Wan really doesn't know, it's still these people...
But there was one thing he knew.
No wonder the Celtics haven't won on the road.
The team that originally relied on defense to win, but the quality of the away defense has declined. Where else can they win?
And, they have all the home-court advantage. The series started with "military training" for the opponents for two games. After helping them get used to the high intensity, they couldn't show the defensive quality of that level...
According to the NBA theory of relativity, this is to set yourself a "weak"!
In the second quarter, Li Wan felt the change in the opponent's defensive formation and was extremely focused on his breakthrough. He didn't hesitate and immediately surrendered the ball.
The offensive end is dominated by running without the ball.
As for the defensive end, he took the initiative to ask Ying to defend Ray Allen.
Cut off this "life-saving straw" for the Celtics.
In the first quarter, the Magic led by double digits. Ray Allen made two consecutive shots, a three-pointer and a three-pointer on the line, keeping the difference in double digits.
Bogans is 1.96 meters tall, Li Wan is 7cm taller than him, and has better explosiveness.
The most crucial point...
Do you know what a 2.19-meter wingspan is?
When Ray Allen saw Li Wan coming up, his expression suddenly became nervous.
He soon discovered that his nervousness was not without reason.
At 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the second quarter, he made his first shot in the second quarter. He felt that the space he opened was good enough and the shot was fast enough, but Li Wan just touched the ball.
Although it was not shot directly, the ball fell into Howard's hands without even touching the basket.
Ray Allen put his hands on his hips, numb...
On the Magic team's side, Turkoglu "sold cards" to Li Wan. Compared with Ray Allen, Li Wan is obviously not so dreadful.
Too…
Ray Allen's height is 1.96 meters, and his wingspan is even worse, only 1.99 meters.
As long as Li Wan pays a little attention to the distance between himself and Ray Allen, he can shoot directly by raising his hand.
"Shh!"
And he was in really good form tonight. Before the first half was over, he had already made 3 3-pointers.
10 points difference.
Rivers boiled "chicken soup" on the sidelines, and Thibodeau pushed "Alien" Cassel to the No. 1 position.
Compared to Rajon Rondo, this guy has a shot.
He proved this in the first round of the game. After the "community boss" dribbled the ball slowly after half court, facing Bogans, he suddenly raised his hand and scored head-on...
Bogans is obviously not suitable for this, and it is obviously different from the offensive rhythm of most other players.
Relying on the game of the brain, this kind of player is more suitable for Li Wan to defend.
And that's what Thibodeau thought...
Forcing Li Wan to go back to defending the No. 1 position.
Ray Allen is currently the Celtics' highest scoring player in this series, scoring 28 and 22 points in the two games.
If he stalls on the offensive end, it can be said to be worse for the Celtics, who are not rich in offensive firepower.
but…
Stan Van Gundy simply ignored his evolution.
"Alien" is 39 years old, and "Coach Anxi" doesn't believe that tonight's Magic team can make a little old man die.
Other than that, does he have the stamina to make 25 shots?
"Shh!"
Of course, the main point is that the Magic have been scoring, and the gap is wide enough to allow him to watch for a while.
No, Lewis throws in another one!
The number of three-pointers he made in the first half also came to 2 this time.
The Celtics' defense is therefore more passive.
As the defensive core of Kevin Garnett, he has been helping Perkins to make up defenses in this round of the series, otherwise Howard would have to be turned upside down.
But that's when Lewis isn't open...
Now that "Mr. Billionaire" has made two three-pointers, he naturally can't turn a blind eye.
That means he has to follow Lewis to the 3-point line.
As soon as he left, Howard's eyes on Perkins changed immediately.
In this round of the series, because of Kevin Garnett's help, Howard has been taking the Celtics, the "meat bucket" Perkins, who has nothing but meat.
The first two games were 12 points a game and 11 points a game.
His stats haven't been this miserable in a long time.
Right now, with only one Perkins beside him, he felt compelled to stand up and "raise a cup".
Perkins said that when you "raise a cup", you "raise a cup", why is there a "cup" after "a cup"? Leave my "unlimited refills", right?
At the end of the first half, the Magic's lead was as high as 15 points.
If it weren't for Ray Allen hitting a 3-pointer at the buzzer, I'm afraid the difference would be even bigger.
Stan Van Gundy looks at the Magic's stats in the first half.
10 of 15 from 3-point range...
6 for 8 inside...
This "prosperous world" is what he saw in his dream, the most perfect appearance of the Magic team.
Li Wan scored a team-high 15 points in the first half. In the second half, he felt a little ups and downs, but after making 2 of 6 shots, he successfully opened the "Neural Knife" badge.
After his research for this period of time, the uncertainty of the opening of the "Neuroknife" badge is higher than before.
At present, 8~12 goals are likely to open the "nerve knife".
The number of consecutive throws and openings is almost in this range...
The Celtics, who had no time to play, had no more time to play after Li Wan turned on the "nerve knife".
In particular, Stan Van Gundy ignored the adjustment of Thibodeau's replacement of "Alien" in the first half, so that no one in the Celtics' bench rotation could top it.
Cassell, 39, is really just a firefighting player.
The fourth quarter is 7 minutes and 15 seconds, and the score has more than 4 minutes to end!
The Magic team has replaced Li Wan and others to drink Gatorade on the bench.
It was the first "garbage time" for the Magic since the second round.
But that's "one star, four stars"...
Similar to the three-point shooting style of the later "small ball era", once the feel is turned on, even the Celtics "Big Three" can only watch the dazzling 20-point difference and sit on the court in a daze.
108 to 87, this score makes the Boston media want to be quiet...
Although it has long been expected that the away game may be lost, it can be slaughtered by 20 points...
They really didn't expect it!
The New York Times came with a question that hits the soul: "Celtics, do you really have the heart of a championship?"
This sentence caused a lot of discussion in the outside world.
The Celtics entered the playoffs, and they stumbled too much along the way, and they didn't have the sub-child that the "Big Three" should have.
20 points have been slaughtered now...
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't have the temperament of a championship.
It can be seen that these words really deeply stimulated the Celtics, the fourth game of the series, although these guys still did not show their defensive dominance at home.
But on the offensive end, Boston's "Big Three" all found their former selves tonight.
After all, they are all stars who have averaged more than 24 points per game in a single season. With their different offensive firepower, they dragged the score to the end.
The Magic, who ended up making 18 3-pointers last game, made another 19 this time around, but they couldn't get past the Celtics this time.
In the last 5 seconds of the game, the Magic team had the ball, and the two sides battled to a 95-95 tie.
Rajon Rondo, who has always been the "dealer" in this series, was shocked.
Time for revenge!
"Christmas Battle" and the Rookie Challenge. In the last two tactical games, he lost to Li Wan. This time, he will definitely win it back!
Taking another look at the Magic's data sheet, Rajon Rondo determined that the ball would go to Li Wan or Turkoglu, who are currently in the best state.
"Lewis must be a bait!"
"Howard is also very likely to fly..."
He whispered softly, took the tactical board that Thibodeau took the initiative to hand over, and formulated the defense for the last round.
Can result...
He guessed wrong, and the Magic gave Bogans the last chance.
After Li Wan attracted the help of Ray Allen, Bogans immediately cut to the basket, Turkoglu gave the ball to him and scored a layup.
To say that this lore goal was really thrilling...
It can be seen from the referee's review that as long as it is 0.2 seconds later, the ball is considered to be overtime.
It can really be said that...
luck!
But isn't victory sometimes accompanied by some luck?
Bogans, who had completed the lore, roared.
This round of the series so far, his pressure is really too much.
The biggest pot of the Magic's first two losses in the first two rounds is on his back...
Tonight, he finally became a hero!
In fact, the plan that Van Gundy made at the beginning was really in Rajon Rondo's idea. The first person was Li Wan, and the second person was Turkoglu.
The two of them are not only the ball-handling core of this team, but also the two players in the team's best offense tonight.
But Li Wan, who knew that Rajon Rondo was powerful, finally raised his hand to express his opinion. - This ball is for Bogans!
It's not that I want him to make up for what he has done, this reason is too ridiculous...
There are three main reasons:
First, the magic team and the opponent's score are tied, even if they do not score, there will be overtime;
Second, in a situation where the Magic can win even with just one point, the Magic's lore is not necessarily a three-pointer or a mid-range...
Third, Rajon Rondo is definitely a "tactical master". Letting the most unexpected person to end the game this night is the most certain offensive opportunity.
Besides, Li Wan and the four of them are obviously better at pulling formations than Bogans, and he may even end up empty.
The results also proved that Li Wan's idea was not wrong...
The last-minute game, Rajon Rondo lost!
His expression was even more frustrated than when the Magic slaughtered them by 20 points two days ago.
Li Wan, who scored a team-high 25 points in the last game, scored another 22 points in this game, also scoring 20 points in two consecutive games after a long absence.
Howard was not so happy tonight. In the last game, he added 20 to 10. In this game, he only added 10 to 14. Listening to Li Wan passing by, the sound of "MVP" sounded sporadically.
He really couldn't smile.
Even in the face of the media...
But what he didn't expect was that his abnormal appearance was interpreted by the media as: "Warcraft" has grown up!
"He knows that even if they pull back two games, the score between them and the Celtics is still 2-2. They still have the most difficult battle of Tianwangshan to fight, and now is far from the time to relax!"
Li Wan was a little surprised when he saw these comments, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that Howard really has something on his mind these days.
Could it be…
Really made me grind out the "Champion Heart"?
shouldn't be...
I haven't changed him yet!
Li Wan is not "Sister Li"...
Howard was also a little surprised.
I just made a face in front of the media, how did I become responsible?
And just like that, with a 2-2 scoreline, the Celtics continued their embarrassing "game winless" and returned to Boston.
Fortunately, the news from the west gave them a little more peace of mind.
The Spurs have drawn 2 games in a row at their home.
In this way, the Western Conference finals are also tied 2-2, and the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" will also be played.
In Zhang's words, it's...
This game is so good!
See how the two sides battle wits and courage!
May 20.
At the same time as the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" in the Western Conference finals kicked off, the league announced the NBA's best lineup for the 2007-08 season:
"Best Team: Chris Paul, Kobe, LeBron, Kevin Garnett, Howard;
Best Second Team: Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming;
Best three teams: McGrady, Li Wan, Paul Pierce, Boozer, Stoudemire;"
…
"All-Defensive Team: Shane Battier, Kobe, Camby, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan;
All-Defensive Second Team: Bruce Bowen, Raja Bell, Howard, Chris Paul, Prince"
…
The best defense is no different from the original.
It's just that Bruce Bowen and Sean Battier have switched positions.
I don't know if Li Wan's slap has drawn the shadows. Now, when Bowen is defending, he really doesn't dare to be so "yin". He used to rely on "black hands" to gain a foothold in the league. Now he doesn't dare to use it. Straight down, Shane Battier achieved the lead and was selected for the first team.
His performance is really good enough...
The Rockets' backline this year is Alston and Tracy McGrady. On the defensive end, he is really "a **** and a pee" and "a father and a mother", which is really not easy.
The best lineup...
As Li Wan expected, Yao Ming, who was not injured this season, replaced Stoudemire and became the best second team, while Stoudemire, who was originally the best second team, fell to the third team.
Vertex
This time, Dayao is also avenging the revenge that he was overwhelmed by Stoudemire because of his poor record last season, and he was not selected for the first round.
But what he didn't expect was that he actually entered the best team, although it was only the best third team...
But it's not easy!
The last player to make the All-NBA team on his debut was Tim Duncan in the 1997-98 season.
Of course, "Stone Buddha" is a lot more awesome, and it's the best time to debut...
It's like saying that they were the five most powerful people of the season...
Jie is a rookie!
It is understandable why the 96-97 season, the league will be rotten in large numbers.
Compared with him, Li Wan doesn't seem to be very great, only three times.
But you must know that historical rookies such as LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 20 extra per game in their rookie season, failed to do this.
so…
Scary enough!
Anyway, Li Wan didn't really think that he would be in the best lineup at first.
However, since he entered, Li Wan thought about it seriously, the best third-team player he had squeezed out...
Like Manu Ginobili?
His data this season is 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. In contrast, Li Wan's averages are 19.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks per game.
and…
He is only the "Best Sixth Man", how does he compare to Li Wantang's starter?
Immediately, Li Wan felt that he was qualified to win this award, because Dwyane Wade, a super defender, was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and the competition for defenders this year was not so fierce.
Of course, if Li Wan wants to look at the matter of "he entered the best third team" from the perspective of David Stern, there are no doubt two words:
heat!
Li Wan did not guess wrong...
When David Stern wrote Li Wan's name on the best third team, he looked surprised at the joke and said: "It's been a long time since there has been a phenomenal rookie in the NBA..."
Back then, LeBron James was hot enough because Nike gave him all kinds of publicity, and David Stern gave him the "best rookie" enough, and the Cavaliers' record was not shared with him by Carmelo Anthony." The Best Rookie Award" has already caused quite a bit of controversy.
Because in the summer of 2003, Yao Ming lost to Stoudemire just because his record was not as good.
Now LeBron, who is not as good as Carmelo Anthony, has won the "Rookie of the Year"...
Hasn't this made it clear to the world that LeBron James is the "Future King"?
Under such circumstances, the "best lineup" should not be quarreled with public opinion?
Can Stern understand the truth that it is too much?
Li Wan's situation is different now.
Whether it's his own performance or the team's record when he was on two teams, including the popularity, it's enough for him to push.
Especially now, as he said, the league hasn't had a phenomenal rookie in a long time.
From Tim Duncan in the 97-98 season to Li Wan in the 07-08 season, it is exactly ten years!
Li Wan never thought that he would be able to enter, let alone the outside media.
Obviously, the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" in the Western Conference Finals is about to start tonight, but the media are all talking about Li Wan.
As a rookie who successfully entered the best team in another rookie season after Tim Duncan, Oran Multimedia is naturally not stingy with all kinds of praise, and is about to praise Li Wan as "Jordan in his rookie season".
As for the New York media and the Los Angeles media, as always, one "whips the corpse", and the other is "painful"...
Fortunately, that night, the Lakers won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" and got the match point, otherwise, it would be "pain and pain"!
It is worth mentioning that Howard, who likes to mention the "first defense and second defense", finally showed a smile, because Oran Multimedia called him "the cornerstone of the team" and "the unshakable foundation of the Magic team"!
With his status in the team recognized, he immediately "turned from cloudy to sunny", and the big boy's smile came back.
But the smile didn't last long.
Not long after the game started that night, Howard shut down.
Not only was he autistic, the suffocating defensive pressure returned as the Celtics returned home.
The Magic are basically all autistic...
In the first two games, he hit a total of 7 three-pointers, and Lewis, who shot 50%, made 1 of 6 shots tonight.
Li Wan was also limited by the Celtics' timely switch and scoring...
However, under the high-intensity defense, Li Wan, who missed seven or eight shots in a row, turned on the "Neural Knife" badge and hit two three-pointers in three minutes. With two mid-range shots, Rivers shouted three times in a row. Pause, but it didn't affect his feel.
Almost crying...
Fortunately, Thibodeau's timely lineup adjustment, effective defense, and Li Wan's "Nervous Knife" badge arrived, the Celtics won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" without a hitch.
Li Wan scored 20 points alone, the third consecutive game with 20 points. Unfortunately, when all the Magic team members pulled their hips, his performance was similar to that of "Jingwei Reclamation", and it was not enough to watch.
But ESPN's reporter said in the report the next day that "Li Wan can leave the North Shore Garden with his head held high."
Because in addition to 20 points, Li Wan has the highest 6 rebounds since the series, and the highest 7 assists in the team, plus 2 steals.
Really tried my best!
The Celtics holding match point came to Orlando again.
However, they are still one game away from entering the finals. Even if they came to the away game this time, the sense of pressure on the defensive end still exists.
It's normal to think about...
Three old guys who are 100 years old together and haven't touched the floor of the finals, facing what may be the only chance in this life...
You say, can they not be very motivated?
The Magic continued their slump in Boston, trailing from the start, never leading once at halftime.
The Celtics' defensive quality went up a notch when the second half started.
Looking at the backward points difference of nearly 10 points.
The last quarter of game time is left.
Rivers felt stable, and the expression on his face gradually eased.
I also secretly cursed in my heart: I think in the future who would dare to say that it was my problem to be reversed in the first round of the 2003 playoffs!
Look at the change of Polish people, I immediately entered the finals!
But just when he thought he was about to wash away his shame.
On the field…
Bogans fell to the ground again in pursuit, clutching his ankle in pain. —Don’t ask why it’s him again, the last round of defending Hamilton just suffered, and now he has met Ray Allen, who is more ruthless of the same type. Just really can't stand it.
And this time it was obviously more serious. The team doctor touched his foot lightly, and he twitched in pain...
Ray Allen's back run is really too hard!
Li Wan also started the "30% state" increase again.
With two consecutive 3-pointers, Rivers looked serious again.
Thibodeau also quickly called a timeout...
When they came off the court, Kevin Garnett and Pierce kept looking up at the replay of Lee Wan on the big screen.
Why did this guy look so familiar with these two unreasonable three-pointers just now?
Seems like I've seen...
It's not just them who feel this way.
The Magic fans at the scene stood up at once...
Are you coming?
Li Wan came over to give an answer after a pause, yes, the "Magic Jordan" who broke the Pistons is here again!
Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo were slapped by him one by one.
Amid the growing cheers, Li Wan scored one goal after another, successfully helping the team to complete the reversal before the end of the game.
During the period, the "Big Three" broke out with "will to survive" and counterattacked wildly. Li Wan faced greater resistance on both offense and defense than the Pistons before. It was not until the last minute of the game that he killed the game with a three-pointer.
100 to 91.
Li Wan once again staged a crazy final show, scoring 20 points in a single quarter, helping the team to defend the last home game of the series with difficulty.
The big score came to 3 to 3, and it was tied again!
At this time, the cheers at the scene have become unified:
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
For the second time, Li Wan heard Orlando fans shouting "MVP" for him on a large scale...
This time at Amway Arena!
At this moment, Li Wan, who was sitting on the ground and waiting for his teammates to be pulled up, seemed to have overcome all obstacles, overcome all difficulties, guarded the city-state, and waited for the "king" to be crowned.
"Good job, man!"
Howard's mind was complicated, and he stepped forward to help Li Wan immediately.
The second time I saw Li Wan stand up and perform "impossible" at a time of team crisis, he felt...
This is what Lee Wan deserves...
When I show a more convincing performance, Orlando will also remember that I am the master of this city!
Howard has decided to continue training this summer.
The player who jeopardized the absolute core of his team has appeared, and he has to work harder...
If Li Wan knew that he had forced out Howard's aggressiveness like this, he would undoubtedly be very happy.
As for now, looking at the back of the Celtics leaving the field lonely, looking at the crazy Orlando people in the field, looking at the hand in front of him
He murmured softly, but it was enough to pass through the microphone: "Who doesn't have the heart of a championship!"
The media coverage the next day was absolutely crazy!
In just half a month, Li Wan once again staged such a crazy and familiar "Final Show"...
Although compared to the last 28 points in the final quarter, this time it was only 20 points in the final quarter, and it did not shoot the opponent to death like the last game. The winner was not determined until the last half minute. Now, I'm afraid it will be the last 20 seconds or even 10 seconds...
But the opponent is the Celtics with 64 wins after all, a stronger opponent, but Li Wan still staged a similar show!
This newcomer...
too crazy, right?
The nickname "Li Crazy" was officially launched.
The Los Angeles media, who was still celebrating the Lakers' finals yesterday, were in pain again.
In addition, more media began to consider the possibility of the Magic entering the finals.
Li Wan looked at these reports, but did not think it was possible.
If nothing else, Bogans confirmed that it was a soft tissue contusion.
This man who ran nearly 108,000 miles in two rounds is really a waste of time...
Certainly not the next game.
Although Bogans' tactical position in the team is not high, he is also a main force at the second position. Without him, the Magic team's bench would have to be transferred from the Magic team's bench.
That's the only Arroyo left on the Magic's bench...
The bench couldn't hold up at all.
In addition, when the Celtics "Big Three" left, there was fire in their eyes, and they also had the reason of "never lost at home in the playoffs" to support their beliefs.
Their hearts are still lingering, and the Magic have no chance of winning.
In the end, the Celtics used a suffocating defense to guard the Magic to only 70 points. Although they themselves only scored 80 points, it can also be seen that the Magic has concentrated all their energy on defense. How hard is it to score.
Li Wan scored 13 points and Turkoglu scored 15 points, the only two players on the Magic team who scored more than 10 points.
Miserable is a word, and the Magic team is so miserable that it can't be said.
The first time the game ended, "Old Wolf King" Kevin Garnett couldn't hold back his emotions, he covered his face with his hands and cried.
From 1995 to 2008, in his 13-year career, he was finally going to touch the floor of the finals.
Crying and crying, he suddenly thought of the rookie opposite him who impressed him. As a senior in the league, he should say something.
So, the "Wolf King" walked up to Li Wan with red eyes, looking at the green face, unconsciously remembering that at that time, his feelings came up again, sobbing and saying, "The future is yours."
Speaking of hugging Li Wan, Li Wan watched him cry with snot and tears, and finally chose to wipe him with a white towel.
I don't know how many media have recorded this scene...
It was originally a very friendly interaction between the seniors and juniors of the alliance.
But it was passed on and passed on, and after 10 years, Mengxin posted this photo in Hupu and asked:
"Who won the Magic or the Celtics in 2008? This photo looks like Li Wan beat Garnett to tears, comforting him?"
id=wzsy>
…
There is no way, some things are passed on, and they will gradually drift away like this...
Li Wan left the field with the team and walked into the player tunnel of the visiting team. He looked back at the center of the court.
The loss of the first series in his career, the "tiebreaker" loss to the "Big Three" seems to be quite satisfactory.
Li Wan doesn't have that kind of paranoia about champions~www.novelbuddy.com~ He knows very well that this is not his era, and more importantly...
Just do your best, and ask for a clear conscience in everything.
After returning to the locker room to get things, Li Wan had already adjusted from the playoff mode to the vacation mode. After a busy season, he was going to give himself a week off.
The phone rang at this moment, Li Wan picked it up and took a look
- Kobe Bryant!
Li Wan picked it up: "A Ferrari..."
"..." Kobe was silent and said after a while, "You know what I'm going to say?"
"You? Just you?"
Immediately after the game was over, I hurriedly called me...
What can I ask if I don't know?
Li Wan murmured inwardly, and then said, "I want to know the weakness of the Celtics from me... a Ferrari!"
