Chapter 393 The end of the regular season
This season, the All-Star starting lineup has undergone another huge change.
On the eastern side, from No. [-] to No. [-], they are:
Li Wan, Derrick Rose, "Antetokounmpo", Paul George, Embiid.
If "Antetokounmpo" entered the starting lineup because of Kevin Durant's departure, then Embiid entered the starting lineup because of Howard's sinking.
"Warcraft" averaged 14.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game to prove that the Wizards' choice last summer was not wrong. He is indeed old.
In fact, some media already believe that the contract given by the Wizards is still a loss!
The result of his private life being indiscreet is that Howard's decline rate is very scary every year.
Now he is more suitable to be an auxiliary inside line, rather than a heavy-duty inside core.
The West is not only ranked "devil" this year, but also "devil" in the competition for the All-Star starter:
James Harden, Stephen Curry and Westbrook compete for the two starting guard spots on the guard line, and there are also Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Anthony Davis at the forward position. Contest for two seats.
In the end, James Harden and Curry were selected again on the guard line, while Kevin Durant and LeBron James were at the forward position.
Don't ask why James still won, the question is to vote for him as a professional, and he is in Los Angeles, which is the most important thing.
At the center position, Oden once again became the starting center with 21.3 points and 11 rebounds, as well as the team's third record in the Western Conference.
Looking at it this way, it seems that Kevin Durant replaced Anthony Davis, but the change in the league's structure cannot be seen from this simple change in one seat.
After the starting lineup had its final result, soon the bench lineup also had its final result.
Columbus is currently ranked second in the East. A total of three players have been selected to the All-Star lineup. In addition to Li Wan in the starting seat, there are two seats for Carmelo Anthony and Wiggins.
The players with the most All-Star selections this year are the Warriors and the Raptors.
On the Raptors' side, "Trash Brothers", Paul George and Marc Gasol were selected to this year's All-Star; on the Warriors' side, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Green and Kevin Du Rand four people selected for the final lineup.
Ibaka and Iguodala looked across the bank with a slightly embarrassed expression.
In addition, this year, there is finally no large-scale "newcomers" replacing "old people" entering the lineup.
The update of the alliance has temporarily entered a stable period.
On February 2, news came from the Boston Celtics that they traded Kyrie Irving to the Lakers in exchange for one of their first-round picks, Kuzma.
This transaction happened very suddenly, but it did not cause much discussion.
First of all, Kyrie Irving is now a guy who barely reaches the All-Star line. He has no achievements and no hard-core honors. Even if he was traded to the Lakers, the Lakers also took out Kuz Ma, although he also formed the "four all-star lineup" of LeBron James plus Chris Paul and Kyrie Irving plus Jordan.
However, the strength of this lineup is still a bit behind the current "Big Three" in the West.
More importantly...
Just LeBron James and Chris Paul standing in the backcourt together, the ball is obviously not enough. Now with Kyrie Irving who can't play without the ball, this ball Quan became even more nervous!
Is this backcourt really compatible?
A reporter complained about LeBron James at this time: "This is already his 15th season in the NBA. Why can't he see a relatively stable shooting?"
You know, even Jordan has figured out a pretty good free throw percentage this season!
Not to mention the self-disciplined LeBron who is there every summer!
It seems that this projection talent is bad!
When LeBron James saw the news, he almost "vomited blood" in anger. Damn, trading Irving has something to do with me?
Can you come to me even in this meeting?
There is another reason why these experts are not surprised that Irving was traded, that is, Tatum's growth this season is not as good as expected. In the opinion of many experts, Irving's existence has affected the growth of "Tanhua". The Celtics' record this season is only the sixth position in the Eastern Conference. As the core, Irving's ability to lead the team is not qualified. Under such circumstances, he was sent away.
On February 2th, the All-Star Weekend came.
In the previous 7 games, the Columbus Explorers won a wave of 7 consecutive victories. They were undefeated in February. Li Wan's performance was as strong as ever. In these 2 games, 7 games Both scored 5 points, and there were two more games with more than 50 points.
A very exaggerated number. Among the many games that have been played this season, Li Wan's lowest score in a single game is 43 points. That is to say, if the rotation is not counted, he has won 50 games in a row with 40 points!
This performance is no longer a matter of bursting or not, but from ancient times to the present, unprecedented!
Every time this group of media calculates these data, they can't help showing incredible expressions.
It's really too perverted!
Such a hot state has also allowed Li Wan to average 55.8 points per game. Although not as hot as in January, it is still a god-level performance that surpasses Chamberlain.
And in the All-Star Weekend, Li Wan also continued his explosive performance, scoring 66 points and 18 three-pointers in the All-Star Game, breaking the record in these two aspects of the All-Star Weekend to a "new" record high.
With this explosive performance, Li Wan also helped the Eastern and Western All-Stars win the victory, and he himself won the third MVP of the All-Star Weekend.
That put him tied with Michael Jordan.
Although Li Wan himself wanted to complete the task.
But no one knows about this matter. The outside world speculates that Li Wan is swearing sovereignty to Michael Jordan. Otherwise, when Charlotte held the All-Star Weekend, he did not perform as badly as before, but instead played " God-level performance"?
In fact, a better explanation is that Li Wan's form this season is really good, so it's not surprising that he continued his excellent form during the All-Star Weekend.However, such an explanation obviously has no explosive point. For the media and fans who are looking forward to the explosive point, they are more inclined to think that Li Wan is swearing sovereignty to Michael Jordan, and this is the way to let everyone know , Michael Jordan's era has passed, and now it belongs to Li Wan's era!
Michael Jordan didn't respond to these remarks, and Li Wan didn't respond either, because if he responded to such remarks, it would satisfy the media!
Li Wan has been in this league for 12 seasons, how can he let the media succeed?
This is impossible!
After the All-Star Weekend, the free market was also closed. Last summer’s big deals caused the free market to undergo a round of “cleansing.” So this year’s All-Star Weekend ended without any big deals in the free market, and it ended very quietly.
The first game after the All-Star weekend is the Columbus Explorers' away game against the New York Knicks.
This is the first time Li Wan has returned to New York in the new season.
Li Wan's outstanding performance this season has made the people of New York hungry.
But they can only be greedy here, because Li Wan already belongs to Columbus.
Whenever they think of this matter, New York fans can't wait to find Dolan immediately and shoot him directly.
It's a pity, since Li Wan left New York, this B has been very cautious. He didn't give them this opportunity at all, and he didn't show up in public. It is said that he hasn't returned to China for several years in Europe.
It just sounds miserable, but New Yorkers aren't about to forgive him.
Ok……
No matter how miserable he is, can he be as miserable as them?
Even the joy of cheering for Giegie at home was deprived by this hanging man. You said, can they forgive?
This damn, is a deadly enmity!
The record of the New York Knicks has improved slightly this season, currently hovering between No. 12 and No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. The main reason for their rise is the growth of Fultz, the next "King of New York" formulated by Li Wan.
本赛季，17年“状元郎”数据上涨明显，截止到目前为止场均可以贡献20.4分5.5篮板6.5助攻，已经可以拿到“20加5加5”的数据了。
Such statistics can be contributed in the second season of his career. If Li Wan's four years in the New York Knicks were not too good, I am afraid that the New York fans would have fallen by now.
Before Li Wan came to New York, the city's core players counted as one, and there was no guy with such a bright future.
It's a pity that after meeting Li Wan, Fultz's growth rate is still a bit slow in their opinion. Of course, because of Li Wan, they are willing to continue to give enough time to grow.
And it's only some fans who think it's slow, and most fans have given more expectations.
However, in this game, they still unconsciously turned into "Li Wan's fans" and cheered for Li Wan's attacks again and again. This is the only game in New York this season. Wan, they are really reluctant to give up even a second.
and so……
From the beginning of the game, they directly showed off their "identities":
Stop pretending!
I want to call Li Wan crazy!
In this game, Li Wan also lived up to the expectations of these New York fans. He scored the first 2 points in a single game in February. Just for this performance, the New York fans shouted "Enjoyment! Excitement!"
Also after watching Li Wan's performance...
It's no wonder that some New York fans feel that Fultz's growth is still too slow.
In front of Li Wan, I am afraid that no matter who it is, the speed of growth will be considered slow by New York fans, right?
After playing the New York Knicks and the Columbus Explorers' focus in February, only the Philadelphia 2ers are left.
It's not that this team can cause any trouble to Columbus. The media and fans simply love to watch Li Wan teach Ben Simmons.
The 16-year No. 7 pick has recently been regarded as "a horseshoe disease in the spring breeze". In the first 19 games of the All-Star Weekend, he averaged 8 points, 9 rebounds and [-] assists per game. He felt aggrieved for not being able to enter the bench. With this posture, it seems that he can work hard for the All-Star Weekend next season.
After the All-Star Weekend, his momentum has been maintained. In one of the games, he scored a "triple double" of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
It's just that Ben Simmons was not very happy on the night after getting this data, because...
Thinking of the next game, their opponents are Li Wan and the Columbus Explorers. How do you think Ben Simmons can be happy?
Who knows, will this "senior Jianghu" give him another "defense package"?
To say that Ben Simmons really knows Li Wan well enough, he really guessed right, Li Wan once again prepared a "telescope package" for him in this game, and Ben Simmons was once again autistic.
He really has no basket!
When playing against other teams, he could still use his back to bully other people's height, so he didn't dare to fight against Li Wan.
That would only be more embarrassing.
Before the start of this game, the Philadelphia 76ers had 7 wins and 1 loss, including a wave of six consecutive victories, and directly entered the top three in the Eastern Conference. However, they lost to the Columbus Explorers by 1 points in this game.
Their model is that the "double stars" work together, and both are indispensable.
在本-西蒙斯只拿到了7分7篮板5助攻5失误的情况，费城76人光靠着恩比德一个人自然不可能赢下比赛。
At the end of February, Columbus had a fierce momentum this month, losing only 2 game in 14 games.
This ferocious momentum also allowed them to continue in March...
It wasn't until March 3th that they lost their first game of March.
During this period of time, Li Wan's momentum has not diminished, but has increased, averaging 58.4 points per game!
Such a state is also the key to the Columbus Explorers' winning streak.
Speaking of which, Li Wan really seldom has "sad mileage" moments!
As long as he plays well, the team will win in most cases.
And during this period of time, they also gnawed down a lot of "hard bones", such as the Hornets and Trail Blazers they lost before, this time they both won back.
However, the last time they played against these two teams, it was the Columbus Explorers team with a small number of players, and this time, it was the opposing team with a small number of players.
The head coaches of the Trail Blazers and Hornets have obviously thought it through. It is already the end of the season, and the playoffs will not meet the Columbus Explorers until the finals. If you win, you can gain momentum, but what if you lose?That would also take a toll on the morale of the entire team.
If that's the case, there's no need to take the risk.
Losing this game is no big deal.
After losing the game on March 3, the Columbus Explorers also entered the rotation adjustment stage. In the last 20 games, they lost 13 of them.
After finally winning the Celtics in the last game of the season, the Columbus Explorers ended the journey of the 69-13 season with a record of 18 wins and 19 losses.
When I woke up early in the morning, my father-in-law’s family had visited relatives for several days. I was stunned, and then I realized that I said last night that I would come here for dinner today, and I couldn’t understand their dialect at all... But I am a person Resolutely continue to update for two days! ! !
