MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 208 This fifty points is more or less deliberate.
Falling in love with you Kanshu, basketball: starting from the nerve knife
"Ho **** ho **** ho..."
Howard gasped.
Looking at the rebound with the red light on, and the final score of 90-84.
Just three minutes earlier, the Magic were down seven.
Seeing that he was about to be "overwhelmed" by the Philadelphia 76ers, Ewing suddenly whispered in his ear:
Think about what Li Wan would do!
Howard was shocked immediately, his hair exploded, and then he jumped up and looked at the field, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
And in the 3 minutes after the game restarted, he used 2 blocks and 3 rebounds, including 2 offensive rebounds... to help the team complete the overtake.
Stan Van Gundy looked at Howard in the last 3 minutes, especially familiar...
Suddenly remembered, this was the "Orlando Warcraft" in his impression.
The way he leads the team to win should not be singles with the ball, but relying on defense to help the team win!
He really wanted to say something to Howard:
Now, you should know what your style of play looks like, right?
If Howard is willing to lead the team in the way he is good at and not obsessed with possession, based on his performance in the final three minutes of the game, there is no way the Philadelphia 76ers will drag the series to Game 7...
But since he said in front of the media that he would reorganize the Magic's offense, there has been an irreparable rift in the relationship between the two of them.
Standing on the sidelines at this moment, he can only say one thing:
pity!
Howard didn't know what Stan Van Gundy was thinking at the moment. Amidst the cheers of the audience, he looked up at the championship banner and murmured silently in his heart:
Li Wan...
I'm coming!
Another game that same night: Trail Blazers vs. Thunder.
It is also a "tie-break"!
Auden walked off the stage lonely.
He lost!
He texted Mike Conley immediately:
Brother, avenge me!
Mike Conley was actually watching the game, and said confidently at the time: Leave it to me!
Kevin Durant opened the "**" and crossed out Oden's name...
You are the No. 1 pick in Ohio in 2007, right?
Next…
Ohio Mike Conley!
All must die!
May 1.
The Orlando Magic arrive in New York, ready to go.
That same morning, the league continued to announce the remaining awards for the season.
The Most Improved Player of the Season award belongs to the…
Derrick Rose!
The happiest thing about this award is the New York media.
As a favorable contender for the regular season mvp award this season, Derrick Rose won the most improved award, which means that he will miss the regular season mvp award.
But in terms of his performance this season, it's really unreasonable not to give him an award...
Therefore, the "Most Improved Player of the Season Award" fell on him.
The Chicago media is also very clear about this.
Therefore, seeing the results of this award, it is more about Li Wan...
Commonly known as:
acid!
To say that the New York media is really embarrassing. On May 2, before the first game of the series between the New York Knicks and the Magic, they actually asked Li Wan in advance what it would be like to win the regular season mvp Feeling.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Wan to go crazy with them, so he simply said: "I am looking forward to it..."
Just ended this topic in a hurry...
Some media asked again: "Li Wan, at which game do you think the Knicks will end the series?"
Li Wandao: "If you let me say it, I hope it will be within 5 games... However, the Magic team is also a team with a lot of background, so the specific situation will only be known after the game!"
The first half sentence is Li Wan's sincere words.
The second half of the sentence is to make up for my former teammates.
Howard is a be with him, but the relationship between the rest of the team and him is good! There's no need for such a low EQ...
You know, there are some things that don't need to be said, in terms of behavior... just do it!
It’s just that in Howard’s view, Li Wan’s words are still a bit arrogant…
Even, in his opinion, Li Wan obviously looks down on him!
Just wait and see, Li Wan!
I will definitely be the first man to slap you in the face!
He was ruthless in his heart, but Howard didn't shout it out in front of the media, mainly...
He also has a lake in his heart!
You have to ask him what Hanhu...
Before the game, the New York Knicks home ceremony was in progress.
I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Howard always feels that when Kwame Brown, Dayao, and Shaq O'Neal come out of the home player tunnel, they all subconsciously glance at him.
At the same time, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
as if to say...
Come on, brother!
Finally, I'm looking forward to you!
I have been waiting for you for a long time!
To be honest, just this moment, he really felt the chrysanthemum, a tight...
The cheers on the scene suddenly became louder, which brought Howard back to his senses. He looked towards the home team's player tunnel, just in time to see Li Wan jogging into the arena.
The cheers became louder and louder, and just one appearance made a group of fans in the audience go crazy.
Howard didn't dare to imagine how crazy these fans would be if Li Wan scored a wonderful goal.
If you really win the championship...
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
A familiar shout suddenly echoed in Howard's ear, and the Madison Square Garden in front of him didn't know when it became the Amway Arena.
Crazy cheers sounded!
"Warcraft" remember, it was the summer of 2009...
In a flash again, in front of Howard's eyes, everything was back to the original.
I don't know if it was the enthusiasm of the New York Knicks fans that reminded him of the Orlando fans back then; or he felt that the enthusiasm of the Orlando fans back then was the future that would happen in Madison Square Garden...
Is this taming a bunch of new loyalists?
Howard has to admit that the current New York fans are too similar to the Orlando fans at the time!
In just one season, Li Wan successfully conquered another city...
But he is still working hard to gain the recognition of Orlando fans!
The gap is too big…
Howard's eyes were full of unwillingness!
He suddenly felt that these grandsons were a little too noisy, and later, he must shut up these guys!
Game time is coming soon.
Howard, who added an "anger buff" to himself, stepped forward to jump the ball.
Very fast response.
When the ball reached the highest point, Howard jumped up and successfully grabbed the initiative.
Look at Yao Ming on the other side...
He just stepped up symbolically, and didn't even jump.
It's like saying:
Let you go first!
Felton held the ball across the half, and Howard made a high-quality screen in the elbow area, and then quickly went down. Felton's pass was also very timely, but when he rushed towards the basket with the ball, he realized that Dayao and Lewis on the opposite side had retracted to the basket.
Jumping high to pass the ball, Artest has been paying attention to Howard's movements, and at the same time as he jumps, he immediately moves towards the corner.
The ambush there was Gallinari.
"Snapped!"
The ball is intercepted.
Artest had the ball before Gallinari got it.
It's a pass error...
Stan Van Gundy jumped to his feet and yelled, "Hey boy, what are you doing!"
Fortunately, the Magic's mobility is really enough, and the timely return to defense prevented the New York Knicks from fighting back.
Artest waited for Li Wan to hand over the ball after he came to the frontcourt.
Li Wan looked at Felton in front of him, and it was a shot one step ahead of the three-point line...
Felton's reaction was half a beat slow, which interfered with Li Wan's Bolingue.
The ball flew over his head and went right into the basket.
3-0!
On the first goal of the game, Li Wan came up and hit a three-pointer.
"Oh~"
The Beijing films directed by Zhang are more intense.
"Li Wan's state is good enough tonight!"
The Magic fought back.
Kenny Smith noticed that Howard stepped forward to pick and roll, cooperated with the ball to go down, and said uncertainly: "This should be Dwight's strategy for dealing with the big center of the Knicks basket?"
Barkley nodded, and he thought so too.
"It's just...the New York Knicks seemed to have thought of what he would do. Yao Ming didn't follow at all, and Lewis also stayed inside, waiting for him to rush to the basket..."
In the -5 studio, the three narrators also noticed this.
Yang Yi thought the arrangement of the New York Knicks was very good: "Anyway, you Howard has no shooting ability. If you have the ability, then you can throw it from the outside. If you can use the mid-range shot to kill me, I admit it, but don't you dare to shoot?" vote, then...
"It's passed on again!" Su Qun shouted, interrupting his words.
The editor-in-chief interrupting the deputy editor-in-chief was so smooth.
Yang Yi didn't feel any discomfort.
"Snapped!"
Lewis caught the ball, but it flew straight out of his hands and out of the field.
"Is this intended to use Howard as a passing center?" Su Qun complained again.
Howard, can he pass the ball?
I don't have the ability to know!
Not to mention in the NBA, in the Wan Wan League, he also can't pass the ball well!
This is not within his scope of business...
Stan Van Gundy was also in a panic. His face, which was white and fat, had a happy face, but now he was entangled into an old pumpkin.
He knew that he must be being ridiculed by many commentators now!
But God testifies!
I didn't let him play himself as a "playmaker"!
In fact, he doesn't even want to see Howard rushing to the basket with the ball...
Can you really do a good job on the defensive end?
He wanted to call a timeout and yell those words at Howard.
The point is, he doesn't listen to me either!
depressed!
The Magic didn't even touch the basket, so even though they still had the ball, there wasn't much time left to attack.
In seven or eight seconds, the Magic made a hasty shot, and it ended in a strike.
Amidst the cheers at the scene, Li Wan held the ball for halftime, and this time Felton rushed over before he reached the three-point line, in case Li Wan made another three-pointer suddenly and caught him off guard.
But this is exactly what Li Wan wanted, and he immediately launched the "McGrady" first step, and rushed past Felton in just one click. The latter felt a gust of wind blowing, and then the person in front of him disappeared.
"Shrink, shrink!"
Stan Van Gundy waved furiously.
The second round of the match had just begun, and his sharp voice was already a little hoarse.
After Li Wan left, he gradually changed back to that "Roaring Xiao Emperor"...
Howard watched Li Wan rush into the basket, hesitated for a moment, then saw Li Wan take off first and hit the board with a high head-on hit.
5-0!
The first 5 points of the game between the New York Knicks and the Magic were all scored by Li Wan...
Seeing his performance so well, Howard was a little anxious.
He has to step up and do something for the team.
Stan Van Gundy watched him move so aggressively, and he really beeped in his heart: Can't you be honest for a while?
What made him happy was that Felton didn't hand over the ball this time, but rushed towards the basket by himself, just...
"Snapped!"
Li Wan followed behind him unhurriedly, just like a "big hat covering the sky".
The ball went straight up and down. Fortunately, Felton dodged quickly, otherwise, he would have "amnesia in place" and asked "who am I, where am I, and what am I doing"...
Howard's enthusiasm made a contribution at this time, and he quickly caught the ball. During the run, Dayao stepped forward. He was about to rush towards the basket, but when he saw Dayao, he immediately turned a corner.
At the same time, the movement of his hand also turned a corner.
good guy...
The "jump tick" between the marches!
Dayao's defensive ability at the basket made Howard awaken the "skyhook" blood.
But this sudden hook jump during running is too difficult, even "Skyhook" himself has to weigh it.
"Bang Dang" sound, it's iron!
Howard wanted to grab the rebound by relying on better jumping, but the height of Li Wan who rushed to grab it was somewhat scary, and his shoulders were almost flat.
"Aerial Walk" took the ball with too much momentum and was a little unsteady.
But while he was supporting the ground with one hand, the ball in his hand was already dribbling.
The feet are even more charged forward...
The posture is like that of short track speed skating when cornering, so handsome!
The New York female fans who watched the game had hearts in their eyes!
My brother is so handsome...
It was not in vain that we waited for 2 and a half years!
The Magic once again kept up with the Knicks' counterattack and quickly built a defensive formation while returning to defense.
It's just that Li Wan rushed to the free throw line, suddenly made a pass fake to deceive the defender in front of him, and then "jumped" to the basket, reached forward and hit the ball into the basket.
7-0!
Barkley noticed something was wrong: "The New York Knicks obviously studied the Magic's retreat in a targeted manner!"
Su Qun is also talking about this: "It can be seen that when the Magic defended against the Knicks counterattack, they almost always defended one-on-one. At most, they were some fake delays that looked like double-teams. Everyone else vote!"
Li Wan should have discovered this problem too!
"For several times in a row, he has a strong tendency to pass the ball, but in fact, he is always looking for opportunities to attack by himself!"
Stan Van Gundy seems to have noticed this problem too. When Li Wan scored a goal, he quickly asked for a timeout...
Li Wan high-fives his teammates.
D'Antoni and Mike Brown look at each other and smile.
The Magic's defense tonight was really guessed by them...
However, speaking of which...
Thank you very much Li Wan!
D'Antoni and Mike Brown, one is good at playing offensive games, and the other is good at defense...
On the offensive end of "positional warfare", they really did nothing.
Although it is possible to directly say "give the ball to Li Wan", and push this thinking to Li Wan. But they are the head coaches after all, they can't really be "hands-off shopkeepers"!
Li Wan probably heard their conversation, and after the training, he said to them: "Think about what Stan would do!"
At first, D'Antoni and Mike Brown didn't understand what was going on...
Thinking that Li Wan still couldn't forget Van Gundy, he was a little jealous of that fat man.
But soon figured out what Li Wan was going to say...
push back!
According to the lineup that the Magic may put up, as well as the defensive method, to formulate corresponding countermeasures, the final conclusion, isn't it a routine they can use?
The two immediately cos into the "Magic team coaching staff" and began to play tactics.
Then he changed back to his original identity, and formulated corresponding countermeasures according to the offensive and defensive tactics used by the opponent in the regular season.
In this way...
Not only the problem of mobile warfare is solved, but even the offensive position that neither of them is good at is solved!
Mike Brown took out the tactical board at the first time, quickly patted the board, and asked everyone to gather quickly: "Next, we will fight around Li Wan and help him create offensive space..."
Stan Van Gundy will definitely press the rhythm after this timeout, and after entering the slow rhythm, the opponent will definitely make arrangements for Dayao...
This is a certain thing!
During the regular season, the Magic were always beaten like this!
The Knicks now continue to allow Li Wan to play singles with the ball, which is definitely a surprise "show routine"...
result…
It really did not surprise the two of them!
The Magic began to press the tempo and targeted Dayao heavily. As soon as he got the ball, they immediately double-teamed him and did not give him a chance to make a shot.
Li Wan pretended to let Dayao come forward to ask for a position, and then quickly rushed to the basket, or Dayao wanted to turn into a pick-and-roll, covering him to complete a mid-range shot.
When the Magic reacted, the Knicks' offensive focus was still on Li Wan. Li Wan made 6 of 8 shots, 1 of 2 3-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 16 points!
At this time, less than 8 minutes had just passed in the first quarter.
Relying on Li Wan's output, the Knicks' lead easily reached double digits.
Stan Van Gundy looks like his bottoms were stripped...
Why are you playing this kind of "anti-routine" with him tonight?
In his impression, D'Antoni and Mike Brown are not such head coaches who can play positional warfare!
He looked towards the bench on the other side.
D'Antoni standing there with Mike Brown...
A look of confidence!
Stan Van Gundy found the scene vaguely familiar...
Soon, he reacted...
This, isn't this what I used to be?
In the first two seasons, with Li Wan, he was also full of confidence and shining...
But as Li Wan left, the confidence in Stan Van Gundy's heart gradually dissipated...
Many years later, Stan Van Gundy officially put down the coach, announced that he would not come back to coach again, and wrote an autobiography. In this autobiography, he mentioned Li Wan and said:
He's an unbelievable guy, he can make the whole team go up, not just his teammates, but his coaches...
Van Gundy believes…
D'Antoni and Mike Brown must have been sublimated by Li Wan, otherwise, IQ could not suddenly occupy the high ground!
Some envied that they could have Li Wan. Stan Van Gundy looked at the court, looking for Li Wan. He really wanted to rush up and ask:
Am I still your favorite coach?
But he was afraid that Li Wan's answer would be:
Don't call me in the future, I'm afraid the two Mikes will misunderstand...
"All!"
The first quarter ended quickly, and Li Wan finally scored 22 points in the first quarter, helping the team widen the lead to 13 points...
Although it was only the end of the first quarter, the tone of the game was settled:
Have a good time hunting tonight!
The New Yorkers in the stands twisted their bodies to the sound of the music.
They start to enjoy!
Howard looked at the bright red score with a gloomy expression, all kinds of thoughts in his eyes, suddenly he stood up and walked towards Stan Van Gundy.
"Coach Anxi" was discussing with the assistant coach whether the game could last until the third quarter, when Howard suddenly appeared in front of him and stared at him, which made him somewhat nervous...
He's heard some messy things off Howard's court.
If there were not so many people, he really wanted to say something first:
We are different!
Stan Van Gundy's mind turned into "Nine Turns", and his heartbeat became "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
These words made Stan Van Gundy's heart tremble wildly, and there was relief in his eyes.
Woke up!
Woke up!
This "Warcraft" finally woke up from madness!
Stan Van Gundy slapped Howard hard, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm waiting for this day..."
"So please help me create space as much as possible, I know it's hard, but I believe in you, Stan, you are the best coach!"
"Eh?"
Stan Van Gundy, who was quite moved at first, was stunned by Howard's next words...
Gan!
Glad it's early!
Just to put it bluntly, he has been beaten so many times before, and he hasn't changed his temper, so how could he suddenly wake up!
I'm still so cool, I'll go and stay there...
Don't say "I'm the best coach", I'm the "fattest coach"!
My heart is full of complaints, and the expression on Stan Van Gundy's face is also very perfunctory...
but…
I see how charming Qingshan is, but I expect Qingshan to see me like this...
What Howard is thinking at this moment is that Stan Van Gundy should have been shocked by his responsibility. So in his opinion, the perfunctory look on Van Gundy's face was full of surprises and a sense of shock!
Maybe I'm still thinking:
I didn't expect Dwight to be so manly!
Ok…
Fortunately, Stan Van Gundy didn't know he thought so, otherwise he would have to be given a nickname:
"Pushin Beast"!
In his opinion, Howard has not understood a problem until now...
That is:
I can give you the chance to make singles...
But you are facing a "big center" like Dayao, how successful can you play in singles?
However, he is too lazy to argue with Howard. Judging from the follow-up reaction of his desire to rectify the Magic's offensive system in February, Otis is on Howard's side.
so…
If you want to continue to hold the ball, I will let you continue to hold the ball!
All Stan Van Gundy can do right now is...
Do a good job on the Magic's defensive end...
But soon, he discovered that it was a hundred million points of difficulty to do a good job on the defensive end!
Tonight's New York Knicks are determined to beat Li Wan.
When he realized it later and changed Raja Bell to defend, Li Wan had already fully recovered.
No one knows better than him:
How difficult it is to kill the crazy Li Wan!
Although Raja Bell was once the "best defensive team" in the league, but this year Raja Bell is 35 years old, and his overall state is not as good as before.
How can we guard against Li Wan who is slowly climbing to the top in front of him!
22 points in a single quarter, 32 points at the end of the first half, and 12 points in a row in the second half...
At 6 minutes and 15 seconds into the fourth quarter, Li Wan scored 51 points in this game!
All the New York fans stood up at this moment. — In Li Wan's state tonight, if he doesn't sit down, who would dare to do so?
The cheers at the scene came one after another, and there was a riot outside the arena.
Li Wan performed so well tonight, they had to do something to vent, such as "purchase for zero yuan", or smash a car or something!
Extremely high New Yorkers, I really don't know what time I will be high tonight...
How high they are, how down Orlando people are!
The game started from the second quarter, and it was almost an "ace vs. ace" of the two teams...
Li Wan with the ball and Howard with the ball, what kind of impact each will have on the team, will be most intuitively presented in the rest of the game!
Wan Li keeps scoring, Howard...
Keep hitting the iron!
Mike Brown saw that Howard was determined to play singles, and then prepared several "luxury packages" for him. Basically, as long as Howard holds the ball to the basket, he will immediately be treated as "male on the left and right".
Even sometimes, not one, not two, not three or four...
But because of two consecutive pass errors at the beginning of the game, Howard did not dare to pass the ball at will in the face of double-teaming...
So much so that in the last quarter, Howard was like a fish covered in a net, unable to move at all.
He took it out on Stan Van Gundy.
How about helping me open up the offensive space?
The other side double-teamed me so brazenly!
My husband, no, where are my teammates?
Where are my teammates?
8-of-22 from the field, Howard's final field-goal percentage of the game...
36% hit rate...
This is a shooting percentage that even outside players can't pass.
Therefore, even if Howard finally got "20 plus 15", the Magic still defeated the New York Knicks by 25 points.
In Game 1 of the series, the Knicks won easily.
When Kenny Smith was summing up after the game, he joked: "How do I feel that I have seen this scene before?"
Barkley said: "This is another team that died after the first quarter of Game 1 and was buried in the fourth quarter of Game 4!"
This big score is written as 1-0 and read as 4-0!
This game also made a big noise on the second day.
Not because the New York Knicks won the Magic.
Even if they win by 25 points...
But in terms of the strength of the New York Knicks sweeping the Magic in the regular season, this point difference can only be said to be...
Play normally!
The reason for the commotion was Li Wan's final data:
53 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
The shooting rate is as high as 50%!
This is Li Wan's first 50 plus in a single game in the playoffs!
It's not that he doesn't have the ability...
But the timing of this first single 50 Canadian is a bit intriguing...
But, it's the Magic!
How much intentional!
The media began to do "reading comprehension" again, analyzing Li Wan's intentions.
First of all, everyone knows that Li Wan is a very vindictive player, basically anyone who underestimated him was slapped in the face by him, and he slapped him hard!
The phrase "Los Angeles, thisforyou" is still an unspeakable pain in the hearts of Lakers fans...
It is also a classic moment of the nba finals!
For Los Angeles, he held back such a trash talk.
Now it's Orlando's turn...
In fact, before the official start of the series, many media were already looking forward to Li Wan's performance in this round of the series.
result…
It really didn't disappoint the big guys. This time, they did such a ruthless job!
Scored 50 plus points in the first round of the series...
Now, the outside media are looking forward to Li Wan's next performance in the series...
May 3rd.
The game between the New York Knicks and the Magic came as scheduled.
Stan Van Gundy learned his lesson this time. He targeted Li Wan from the very beginning, with the attitude of "I don't care about other people scoring, as long as Li Wan doesn't score, that's fine".
The New York Knicks coaching staff sensed Stan Van Gundy's defensive intent.
I almost burst out laughing, by the way, a b-box...
It's not that they disrespect the opposing coaching staff...
only…
How did we guess again?
This is too easy to guess, right?
Yes, D'Antoni and Mike Brown guessed before the game that Stan Van Gundy would definitely not let Li Wan ignore the 50-point game, so in this game, they returned to the regular rhythm of playing the Magic in the regular season.
Let Dayao, Shaquille O'Neal and Kwame Brown take turns loving "Warcraft Baby".
As a result, "the inside line blooms and the whole line is revitalized", although the process is different, the situation in the third quarter of the game is the same as the previous game:
Lost to the Magic again!
99 to 80, this time the main attack was on the inside, and the number of rounds was a little less, so the win was a little less, and only 19 points were won...
and…
There was also a little bit of a bad situation.
In the fourth quarter, when Dayao landed, he probably twisted his knee and stood there with a painful expression. D'Antoni hurriedly called the team doctor and sent him back to the locker room.
Dayao never returned to the court after that.
This sudden change made the atmosphere of the scene not as indulgent as the previous one.
If something really goes wrong with Dayao...
The Knicks had a bright future, but I'm afraid it's going to be bleak.
Maybe they have to follow the old path of the Celtics.
Fortunately, the New York Knicks issued an announcement soon after the game to reassure all fans:
It did twist a bit, but it's not a big problem, and I can come back after four or five days of rest at most! It means that the next two away games to Orlando should not be played!
When the New York fans heard this, they immediately lost their worries...
It's just two games off. Now they are leading 2-0. Even if they lose two games in a row in the away game, when Dayao returns, then they still want to clean up the Magic, how can they clean up?
To put it bluntly, they don't care about the outcome of the next two games. In their hearts, the complete New York Knicks are invincible!
The hearts of New Yorkers are clearly revealed at this moment...
As for all members of the Magic team hearing the news, especially Howard, his first reaction was...
Here's your chance!
That damned Yao Ming is not here, just because a 38-year-old "big shark" wants to gnaw his "monster"?
Go dreaming!
Even with Kwame Brown, it is impossible to be his opponent!
In his opinion, the main reason why the insiders of the New York Knicks can suppress him back and forth is...
They don't talk about Wude!
It's always gang fights!
Really rude!
This time, there are finally two people on the order, so let's show you the ability of "Warcraft"!
Orlando Multimedia also felt that the opportunity had come...
It is not a chance to win this round of the series. After the first two games, their current mentality is the same as that of the Indiana media.
Losing is definitely losing!
But now that Yao Ming is injured, maybe they can steal two victories, so that the big score in this round of the series will not be so ugly.
The New York Knicks beat the Pacers 4-0, and they played 4-0 again. Doesn't that mean they are the same as the Pacers?
As the "nba champion" two years ago, Orlando doesn't want to be put together with a team that has no championship in team history...
On May 4, amidst the hustle and bustle of discussions, the New York Knicks arrived in Orlando.
What Li Wan didn't expect was that there were even Orlando fans holding up his poster with the Magic last year to pick him up!
This seems to be Li Wan's "die-hard fan"...
Li Wan greeted them cordially, which was the only thing he could do!
In the afternoon, the league officially announced the best team and the best defensive team of the season...
In the New York team, Li Wan was selected as the "Best Team".
Along with him, he was also selected:
Derrick Rose, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Howard;
Kobe, who was still selected for the "Best Team" this season, was squeezed out this time.
No way, whether it is Derrick Rose or Li Wan, this season is too fierce!
In addition to the "Best Team", Li Wan was once again selected for the "Best Defensive Team".
The other New York players selected to the two "Best Teams" are:
Dayao, who was selected to the "Best Second Team".
Just talking about the team's record, in fact, Dayao should make a team, but his statistics this season are really not very good, averaging 17.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
There is a certain gap with Howard's average of 18.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.
In addition to Dayao, members of the "Best Second Team" include Kobe Bryant, Wade, Nowitzki, and Paul Gasol;
The remaining "best three" members are: Westbrook, Chris Paul, Zach Randolph, Greg Oden...
In other words, except Dayao and Li Wan, none of the New York Knicks were selected for the "best team."
However, there is another New York player who entered the "Best Defense Team"...
Relying on his performance on the defensive end and the team's record, Ci Shiping was selected into the final "Second Team of the Best Defense Team"...
This must be given. For a team with 72 wins and 10 losses, if only Li Wan and Dayao are in the "best team", the honor will be a little less.
You know, so far, these player awards at the end of the season have nothing to do with the New York Knicks!
between…
Can't justify it, really can't justify it!
On May 5, the second day after the official announcement of the "best lineup", it was also the day of the third game of the series between the New York Knicks and the Magic.
The league continues to announce the next awards:
Defensive Player of the Season Award!
There were no surprises in this award, once again won by Howard...
He also became the first player in NBA history to win the "Best Defensive Player Award" for three consecutive times. Although he does have a lot of unreliable places.
Seriously...
I really regret that a player who has achieved this kind of achievement did not enter the 75th major...
Before the start of the night's game, David Stern arrived and personally presented Howard with the "Best Defensive Player Award" trophy.
The Orlando people at the scene also cheered vigorously. The volume was so loud that Howard could only dream of it!
This made him unable to bear it and secretly worked hard in his heart:
This match must be won!
Stan Van Gundy looked thoughtfully at Howard's "Best Defensive Player Award" trophy, pulled Ewing to his side and said, "Dude, I have something for you!"
"Gorilla" listened carefully to Van Gundy's words, immediately walked up to Howard, and whispered to him: "Dude, I think tonight, you have to let the opponent see how powerful your best defensive player is!"
"You just won this award, you don't want the Magic's defense to be blown up, do you?"
Howard thought about it...
That's the reason!
Immediately said: "Got it, Patrick, you are right, watch my performance patiently!"
Stan Van Gundy saw that Ewing gave him an "ok" comparison, and quickly called Felton to his face: "Listen, this game needs Vince Carter more!"
Felton froze for a moment, a little embarrassed.
He knew that the offensive end of this team, Stan Van Gundy, didn't count.
But the majesty of "Coach Anxi" was still there, and he gave a cold "hmm", making Felton nod quickly.
Stan Van Gundy was taken aback when he saw the lineup of starting players on the field. It wasn't Shaquille O'Neal who replaced Dayao at the fifth position, but Kwame Brown?
This…
Are you not resisting?
Still don't plan to find a breakthrough from Howard?
Howard was overjoyed when he saw Kwame Brown on the field. The "single desire" in his heart gradually increased. Fortunately, Ewing coughed in time: "Dude, don't forget what I just said!"
Howard could only regain his composure temporarily.
"Snapped!"
I don't know if he jumped too much with Dayao. Howard didn't jump when he faced Kwame Brown.
The ball landed in Li Wan's hands.
As soon as Kwame Brown stood at the basket, Li Wan crossed positions with Ray Allen on the outside. Seeing that Felton was thrown away by Ray Allen, he quickly gave the ball to Ray Allen.
3-0!
Come up to the first ball, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is just a three-pointer, and it is very easy to score.
It's the Magic's turn to fight back.
When Felton arrived in the frontcourt, he glanced at Howard anxiously. Seeing that he really didn't intend to come up, he immediately rushed to the basket against Li Wan.
Vince Carter and Raja Bell crossed positions in the third position, and Vince Carter successfully stood in front of Ray Allen.
When he got the ball, Vince Carter didn't stop in shape, just rushed straight to the basket, bypassed Kwame's interference, and scored the ball.
2-3!
To be honest, if he was five or six years younger, Carter would have dunked the ball if he rushed into the basket!
But it can still be seen that he also has a "peerless waist".
Li Wan is still crossing positions with Ray Allen.
Ray Allen, who came up and threw a goal, is extremely attractive to defend at the moment.
Li Wan has been paying attention to his position, which has also made the Magic's entire defensive formation more and more close to Ray Allen. But at this moment, Li Wan didn't turn his head, and directly hit the ball to the flank that he had never seen before.
Don't look at the pass!
There…
Lewis who came out raised his hand and hit a three-pointer!
6-2!
Another three-pointer scored!
Seeing this familiar figure hit the offense in his familiar way, the eyes of the Orlando people at the scene were full of nostalgia.
They miss it, and the Seattle fans without the team miss it even more...
Long time no see, "Seattle Gemini"!
This is their... youth!
