MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 214 Kobe's sense of urgency

Falling in love with you Kanshu, basketball: starting from the nerve knife

The New York Knicks players hugged each other excitedly, waiting for the Eastern Conference championship trophy, which is two numbers smaller than the O'Brien Cup, to play.

The Miami people who came to watch the game tonight have almost left. The American Airlines Arena in Nuoda is somewhat deserted, which makes their cheers particularly obvious, and there are even echoes.

After the game, they set up a temporary interview stage in the small open space in front of the visiting team's locker room. Although it was a bit crowded and there were no cheers, the expressions of the Heat fans who left without love impressed them. The euphoria is not gone yet.

One after another.

Dayao looked at the Eastern Trophy, smiled until his small eyes narrowed, he moved his hands up and down, touched and touched, his face couldn't stop the love.

Since entering the league in 2002, this is the first time he touched the championship trophy!

this feels really...

So cool!

Thinking about it again, what I'm touching now is the small trophy, and I'm going to touch the big trophy next, Dayao's expression became brighter and brighter.

The fate of this man is truly amazing!

Thinking about this time a year ago, he tried his best, but failed to bring the Rockets full of wounded soldiers into the playoffs. Coupled with his age, he was really sad at that time a feeling of.

At that time, Dayao couldn't help saying in his heart:

Maybe my entire career in the NBA will be like this!

but…

Thinking about representing the Huaxia men's basketball team in the international arena and finally winning the Olympic gold medal, Dayao felt that he was lucky enough to be able to do well in one aspect!

At that time, how could he have imagined that in just one summer, his entire destiny would undergo an earth-shaking change...

From the Rockets to the New York Knicks, Dayao never thought that his most promising season would be his first season away from the Rockets!

He really has the vitality that his career has just begun. The fatigue that would appear in the past halfway through the season, this season until now, has not appeared, but the more he plays, the more energetic he is!

Now he hopes that this season can maintain the current momentum until the end, and bloom the brightest flowers...

"Beep!"

Inside a mansion in a wealthy area of ​​Los Angeles.

Bryant took one last look at the entire Knicks on TV, who were celebrating making it to the Finals.

Turned off the TV.

At that time, when the camera was shown to Li Wan, his childish hole unconsciously shrank, and when the camera was shown to Shaq O'Neal, his childish hole unconsciously shrank again.

Jordan, of course, is the person Kobe wants to surpass most.

It's just that the person who wants to surpass the most is not so much an opponent as a goal that motivates him to keep moving forward.

Speaking of Kobe's entire career, his peak period did not coincide with Jordan's.

Jordan's last championship was in 1998. In that season, Kobe's scoring average doubled, but he only averaged 15.4 points per game.

Michael Jordan, who came back for the third time, is not so much the "God of Basketball", it is better to say that he is Michael Jordan himself.

He is a capitalist who enjoys basketball, and the "God of Basketball" who knows how to use a hammer.

I really want to say the opponent I most want to surpass...

It had to be the two men on TV who made his eyes shrink!

One is the guy he cared about the most before 2009, and the other is the guy he cared about the most after 2009, and now they are all waiting for him in the finals...

And this is one of the most important reasons why he must enter the finals!

wait for me!

Kobe's eyes gradually became sharper with his thoughts. The eldest daughter Natalia just walked into the living room at this time, met Kobe's eyes, and hurried to find Vanessa in fright:

"Mom, come quickly, there are snakes in the living room!"

Kobe: ...

…

"With a 39-point victory, the New York Knicks won Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals and officially swept the Heat 4-0! "

"A strong sweep, the New York Knicks reached the Finals for the seventh time in history! "

"Long time no see, the finals, the last time was in 1999!" "

Early the next morning, the whole of New York was also sensational because of this incident.

The reports flying all over the sky let the whole American people know about this matter in the first place:

The New York Knicks are back on the Finals stage!

In fact, last summer, when Li Wan arrived and attracted a large group of strong players to join him, New York fans believed that another glorious era for this team had come...

But even the most optimistic New York fans dare not think that they will be able to make it back to the finals in just the first season of Li Wan's arrival.

reason:

This team has sunk too much!

Hard to return.

Everything, no matter the team's winning culture or all aspects, needs to be rebuilt. In addition, the reconstruction of this team is so large that almost brothers from "all corners of the world" gather together. needs time.

But as a result, the New York Knicks proved with a rocket-like rise:

A group of people who are really suitable, there is no problem of running in...

When you play, you will be able to exert your greatest power!

No, it was only the first season, and he immediately achieved the best record in NBA history of 72 wins and 10 losses, and also created an undefeated record in the first three rounds of the playoffs in NBA history.

Compared with these two exaggerated statistics, entering the finals is like a small goal accomplished by piggybacking.

Not worth mentioning at all!

This sounds exaggerated, but the strength shown by the New York Knicks this season is completely worthy of such exaggeration.

Li Wan's reputation has once again reached a new height...

And compared to Ewing, who also did the same thing, his reputation is several steps higher.

There are also many reasons. Ewing entered the league in 1985 and was with the New York Knicks for 15 years, but he only led the team to the finals twice, and he has never won a championship.

This is Li Wan's first season, and he has done what Ewing has only done twice in 15 years.

In addition, the momentum of the New York Knicks this season is not comparable to that of the New York Knicks led by Ewing at that time.

Ewing led the team to the Finals in two seasons.

The 93-94 season was the first year that Michael Jordan retired for the first time. The league "warlords melee", and finally Ewing lost to another "four major centers".

In the 1998~99 season, although the "Black Eight" reached the finals as the eighth in the Eastern Conference was full of passion and inspiration, but in the end it was a 1-4 loss. The strongest champion, but also lost to another "four major centers".

That feels, to New Yorkers, like...

Chocolate-flavored shit, or shit-flavored chocolate.

There is a taste that Knicks fans like, but there is also a place that makes New York fans feel uncomfortable.

how to say?

Ok…

Oh, yes, no fun!

Of course, the most important thing is that Ewing's style of play is compared to Li Wan's, and Ewing's appearance is compared to Li Wan's...

All these things add up to the fact that although Li Wan's team performance is as high as Ewing's, the number of times is not as many as Ewing's.

But his voice in New York is much, much higher than Ewing's.

To put it bluntly, Ewing may have won the championship, and Li Wan's reputation is now... Mainly Li Wan's bonuses in other aspects are too great.

It's like an idol who has practiced for two and a half years, can rap, has ideals, can say "what are you doing, boy", and can play basketball, which "little black boy" wouldn't like it?

Can't wait to talk about it all day long!

As for Li Wan really winning the championship...

Hey, we can only wait for the day when we win the championship to know how exaggerated Li Wan's influence will be!

New York fans…

Already waiting!

On the night when the New York media excitedly celebrated, G4 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off. The Los Angeles media kept urging the Lakers "We must solve our opponents as soon as possible and enter the finals", which in turn angered the Thunder.

They played aggressively at the start of the game and took an early lead.

It's just that on the Lakers side, Kobe, who was also "enraged", "exploded" again, scoring 16 points alone in the first quarter, helping the team cling to the score. After that, all members of the Lakers gradually recovered their form, and the momentum of the Thunder continued to be contained, until finally they lost the game by 8 points.

The big score came to 3-1!

The Lakers are only one game away from reaching the finals...

The Los Angeles media is already analyzing the mutual advantages between the Lakers and the Knicks, but Kevin Durant said before the start of the fifth game of the series: "We will bring the game back to Oklahoma, It's not over yet!"

The Los Angeles media laughed and said it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

What is this Kevin Durant capable of, can we not know?

Last year it relied on the defense sample, this year is better, but it also relies on the editor's sample!

On the edge of the cliff behind 1-3, will Kobe still give him a chance to struggle?

In the end, Kevin Durant made good on his promise with a 38-point scoring show, returning to Oklahoma to pose with his brother and the game.

The big score came to 2-3!

The look back when he left the scene at Staples Center became the headlines of the media the next day, as if to say:

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

Staples…

My brother and I will be back!

This game also became Kevin Durant's "fame battle" in the playoffs. He entered the playoffs for the second time in his career. After tonight, he can be regarded as a masterpiece.

The future "Reaper" slightly exposed the scythe in his cloak.

Bill Walton said bluntly: "Kevin Durant has really grown up to the point where we can no longer ignore him..."

Kevin Durant, who heard this, was very happy at first, but as Bill Walton said the next words:

"...Just because he and Li Wan are both rookies in the 2007 class, we can't help but compare him with Li Wan, but in fact, a phenomenon-level rookie like Li Wan may only appear in ten or twenty years. It's unfair to compare other players with this guy...Kevin Durant has really grown up fast compared to other players at his stage, and he is also a genius!"

Kevin Durant is speechless...

He remembers that before the 2007 draft, he was called "the most powerful humanoid scoring machine after Michael Jordan". From 1984 to 2007, it was a span of 23 years. He can be regarded as "twenty years" A once-in-a-lifetime genius" right?

Why now... "He is also a genius"?

On the contrary, Li Wan, who was little-known at the time, became famous because of his lore in the NCAA finals, but now he has become "a phenomenon-level rookie who only appears once in ten or twenty years."

What the hell!

Obviously I was the first!

In fact, it's not just Kevin Durant. Oden, as the "Great King", even now is an All-Star starter, but the outside world's evaluation of him is no longer so enchanting.

There is also the factor of Li Wan, the jewel in front of him.

Michael Jordan's strength cannot affect Olajuwon's "No. 1 pick".

It's just a pity that if Li Wan reaches the height of Jordan, the current achievements of Durant and Oden obviously cannot be compared with Olajuwon...

The evaluation will naturally be lower, and it will no longer be as hyped as before.

Auden didn't care, he had such a good relationship with Li Wan, and he didn't care that the outside world felt that he was not evil enough because Li Wan was too evil.

Besides, this is the fact so far.

But for Kevin Durant, who is simmering in his heart and wants to win the sky, this is unacceptable!

Why should I, "Boss Du", be a head shorter than that guy surnamed Li?

Kevin Durant is unconvinced!

He wants to make a statement for himself...

Just now there is such an opportunity in front of us:

The New York Knicks have already entered the finals. As long as he can also enter the finals, then he will meet Li Wan on the highest stage in the NBA and play a serious game. Everyone outside will know that he won Wen-Durant is not bad for Li Wan!

right!

That's right!

As long as I make it to the finals, I can prove myself!

Kevin Durant has a fire in his eyes:

I need to…

Into the finals!

The idea is solid, it's just...

"Snapped!"

Kobe slapped him awake.

What are you thinking!

Is this the finals where you can go if you say you want to?

have you asked me

Come back next year!

"Kevin, your performance is good enough!"

The score was fixed at 109 to 101, and the Lakers had the last laugh with an 8-point advantage. The Thunder were finally eliminated 2-4 in front of their own fans.

Kobe hugged Kevin Durant on the opposite side for the first time.

From last year to this year, in just one season, this young man with outstanding temperament improved so fast that even he was a little surprised. In his impression, there are really few rookies who can improve as fast as this guy in front of him.

Even because of Kevin Durant, he has a sense of urgency that he can't wait for me.

The last rookie who made him feel this way was none other than Li Wan, that hanging man...

Apart from Li Wan, you are the most improved young generation I have ever seen.

Kobe originally wanted to send this sentence to Kevin Durant, but the applause and cheers at the scene made him feel that he couldn't hear what he was talking about, so he didn't continue to say it, and patted Kevin. - Durant's shoulder as he walks toward his bench.

By the way, I glanced at the auditorium...

The Thunder's home court tonight is full of fans.

Although they lost the game at this moment, these Oklahomans did not lose. Instead, they bid farewell to their heroes with cheers and applause!

The city only had a team in the summer of 2008. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com They made it to the playoffs last year, and this year they made it to the Western Conference Finals...

This is no longer one step at a time. This is a big step in a year and a big step in three years. This season's Thunder team can be called a "Western Powerhouse"!

Falling 2-4 on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder fans really feel that these young people are honored to lose!

this season...

Thanks for your hard work!

Next year will definitely be more exciting!

Their satisfaction is beyond words.

Kobe saw it, and the sense of urgency surged into his heart again.

Not a few years!

so…

We must win the championship this time!

Of course, he had a reason to win this time!

Li Wan...

Shaq...

A "resentment", an "enemy", no matter if he loses to any of them again in the finals, Kobe can't accept it. Now they are running together, how can they lose?

The Los Angeles media shouted at the Knicks as soon as the Lakers won Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals:

"Knicks, don't think it's safe, Kobe and his Los Angeles Lakers are here!"

On the second day of the Western Conference finals, heated discussions about the finals also showed overwhelming momentum.

After this night, no one was discussing the Thunder or the Heat. All eyes were on the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers...
