CIATB Chapter 320 The largest single-game point difference record in the playoffs
Chapter 320 The largest single-game point difference record in the playoffs
While the Cavaliers won the fourth pick in the first round of 2016, the Nets also arrived in Cleveland by special plane.
Carmelo Anthony was the first to walk out of the plane cabin, looking at Li Wan's poster that could be seen as soon as he got out of the airport gate, his eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit.
The clouds in Cleveland in May have become a little restless because of this.
Even the wind carried a piercing pain.
Ok……
I am here in Cleveland, and I am here to hurt Li Wan and this city!
Carmelo Anthony believes that after this round of the series, he will wear the hat of "Lee Wan Kexing".
Before the game, he once again confidently said: "We will definitely beat the Cavaliers!"
On May 5, Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
The NBA Eastern Conference finals are the first to start!
"Come on, guys, let's play a wonderful game and win the first victory in the series!" Carmelo Anthony asked his teammates to cheer together before the game.
Just before entering the court, when he was still in the locker room, as the game time approached, he keenly felt the tension of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.
He was not surprised by this, the two had already lost to Li Wan too many times, and these painful pasts made them not believe that they could still defeat Li Wan.Carmelo Anthony had already emphasized to them in the locker room at that time: "We have each other, this is our most powerful weapon, a weapon so powerful that no one can defeat us!"
Now, he said it again.
The reporters on the sidelines sighed, from the Nuggets to the Clippers, from the Clippers to the Nets, have you ever seen such a passionate Carmelo Anthony?
Tonight, he is the "boss state" that Denver fans have been looking forward to for n years and have never seen before!
Looking at such a fighting Carmelo Anthony, Howard has a bit of doubt in his eyes. Although his relationship with Carmelo Anthony is already very good, but listening to Carmelo Anthony's words, He actually held back a sentence in his heart:
Is it true?
Can we really defeat Li Wan?
I don't read much, so don't lie to me...
This is the fourth time in Howard's career that he has met Li Wan in the playoffs. His partner has changed from Felton to Joe Johnson and Steve Nash, and then to Chris Paul. With Carmelo Anthony...
This is the first time he has returned to the Eastern Conference Finals in 7 years. In terms of final results, this is indeed his best year, but in fact, he is more inclined to think that... this time he was lucky, and he did not meet Lee in advance. Wan and the Cavaliers, otherwise the difference in results would not be too big...
Of course, looking at such an aggressive Carmelo Anthony at this moment, he must not be able to grow others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, so he nodded fiercely and responded.
Anthony looked at Howard who was so positive, and nodded with satisfaction.
His teammates are so active, and he still "beats" Li Wan, so be careful!
If you don't know how to start, you can play the Cavaliers 12-3, right?
Haha~(￣▽￣～)~
The big screen at the scene gave the starting lineups of both sides:
"The Cavaliers: Li Wan at No. [-], Joe Johnson at No. [-], Wiggins at No. [-], Chris Bosh at No. [-], Adams at No. [-];
Nets: Chris Paul at No. [-], Bogdanovic at No. [-], Carmelo Anthony at No. [-], Thaddeus Young at No. [-], Howard at No. [-];
In the cheers of mountains and tsunami, the game officially started.
Howard successfully jumped to the opening possession for the Nets.
The first time Chris Paul held the ball to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Carmelo Anthony, who was actively asking for the ball.
Facing Wiggins at a 45-degree angle on the flank, Anthony's signature "three threats" started, but now he has significantly increased tonnage and less explosive power than when he was young. With this starting speed, Wiggins can easily keep up , the card stopped his breakthrough.
Seeing that the breakthrough was blocked, Anthony, who stopped his pace, simply played with his back, but when he turned to face the frame, Li Wan quickly double-teamed him, and Carmelo Anthony, who had already raised his hand, forcibly made a shot. middle.
Under the basket, Howard predicted the rush to the basket, but under Adams' position, he could only watch Chris Bosh grab the rebound.
The Cavaliers counterattacked, and the ball was given to Li Wan after 2 seconds.
Seeing that the Nets had only one Chris Paul retreating, Li Wan didn't hesitate at all. He bullied him and crushed Chris Paul to complete the attack.
2-0!
Paul spread his hands towards his teammates, how to prevent this!
Anthony continued to flank for the ball.
The Cavaliers' defense against him is very obvious, that is, through Wiggins' confrontation, let him hit back. When he hit half of the back, Li Wan quickly stepped forward and formed a double-team with Wiggins.
The effect of this trick is obvious. Carmelo Anthony's second shot was once again interfered by Li Wan.
Ordinary people in the same position really can't form such a disturbing force like him.
But who made Li Wan's hands almost as big as cattail fans?
Carmelo Anthony felt the arena's bright lights dim as he faced his hand.
Howard still couldn't grab the offensive rebound, and Adams pinpointed his position. "Warcraft" showed a pained expression as he returned to defense.
Howard wouldn't be so frustrated if he just failed to grab rebounds twice in a row, or an offensive rebound.It's because in the confrontation, he can clearly feel that Adams is very clear about some of his small movements.
But the problem is...
He didn't seem to have matched up with this guy a few times, did he?
How come, so familiar?
He glanced casually across the Cavaliers' bench, where Kwame Brown was looking at him playfully.
No wonder!
Howard suddenly understood why Adams was so used to him.
Behind Dare is Kwame Brown, an expert!
When they were in the Magic together, Brown played a lot of "two-person games" with him. He really knows more about him than the bitch he often goes to nightclubs.
Basically, just stick a butt, and you know what to fart!
This made him turn his head back to look at Carmelo Anthony, and he was even more puzzled:
Can we really win?
This time the Nets retreated very quickly. When Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt, their defensive formation had already been set up. Looking at Chris Paul, who was a whole head shorter than himself, Li Wan did the same. You’re welcome, after a feint forced him to take a step back, he pulled up and shot, and the ball was released quickly. Apart from jumping up and hitting Li Wan’s knee, Chris Paul could only watch Li Wan complete the shot.
"Shh!"
There is a crisp netting sound.
There was desperation in Chris Paul's eyes.
How to prevent this!
5-0!
Anthony was defended for two consecutive rounds. In this round, he did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, but signaled Chris Paul to play by himself.
After "cp3" called Howard's pick-and-roll, he made a throw before the free throw line. Just as his arm was raised, Wiggins jumped out of nowhere, and his fingertips successfully rubbed against the ball.
"Dangdang!"
The ball hits the basket and pops right out.
When Howard went to the inside, Adams was stuck again. Relying on his ability to strengthen under the basket, when he desperately reached for the ball, Li Wan protected the ball from in front of him.
Another wave of counterattacks.
This time the Nets successfully retreated to only two people, one was Carmelo Anthony and the other was Chris Paul.
But for the Cavaliers, Li Wan broke through the middle with the ball, and Chris Bosh and Wiggins on the left and right wings also kept up with his rhythm.
Three to two in the frontcourt!
Looking at Anthony and Paul who were desperately retreating, Li Wan slowed down before the free throw line and made a shot.Seeing this situation, Anthony hurried forward.Li Wan seized the gap and gave the ball to Chris Bosh on the wing. Bosh "passed inside" and assisted Wiggins to complete an easy dunk.
7-0!
While Wiggins smirked, the referee blew his whistle and Jason Kidd called a timeout.
"Guys, wake up, don't be fooled, we have already stood on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, show our strength!" Kidd thinks that the Nets have not recovered from the strength of the semifinals, Thought this was the second round against the Bulls?
This is already the Eastern Conference finals, and the opponent has also become the Cavaliers who have won 37 consecutive victories in the regular season!
and so……
Wake up, everyone!
Watching Jason Kidd so excited, Carmelo Anthony's first reaction was...
The coach is right!
It's just that we haven't adapted yet, and when we adapt, we will definitely win!
Carmelo Anthony, who had just been beaten 7-0, regained his fortitude.
At the same time, the Cavaliers' bench, Tyronn Lue didn't take the tactical board, and looked at the Cavaliers' starting lineup without sweating: "Okay, guys, I feel that the warm-up is over, Give the opponent some more strength!"
Everyone in the Cavaliers nodded, and when they entered the field, there was another burst of cheers like a storm.
With less than 2 minutes into the game, they know very well that if nothing else happens, they will see the Cavaliers end the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals with a big victory.
"beep!"
The referee blows the whistle and the game restarts.
In the first round, Chris Paul continued to find Howard on the inside for a pick-and-roll, but this time the Cavaliers' defense became more aggressive. He was forced back two or three steps.
Carmelo Anthony had to run to meet him.
When he got the ball, Wiggins' confrontation with him was full, and after he finally got the ball to the frontcourt, the double-team came up again.
For more than ten seconds, the Nets didn't have a chance to make a shot.
Not to mention the chance to make a shot, not even a chance to open up the singles with the ball...
"Quick cast, quick cast, time is running out!"
Kidd's urgent urging came from the sidelines, Anthony could only force his shot, and the ball hit the basket's neck with a "bang".
But this time Howard grabbed the rebound.
"Snapped!"
With a sharp blow, the shot of "Warcraft" was destroyed.
Adams signaled to the referee in time.
Watching Howard walk to the free throw line, Bill Walton, Drexler and Chris Webber looked at each other in the ESPN commentary booth.Bill Walton said: "The Cavaliers fought hard in this game!"
Drexler said with a smile: "It's no wonder that before the start of the Eastern Conference finals, the Nets shouted to the media several times, saying that they will definitely beat the Cavaliers and enter the finals. Can the Cavaliers hold back?" With a stomach full of fire?"
Chris Webber looked at the screen with some doubts. Until now, he still doesn't understand why the Nets are so confident...
Not to mention that this team played 7 games against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals last season just relying on Li Wan alone. This season alone, they once played 37 consecutive victories, which is the best in the entire league. This record is enough to make all the teams in the league look sideways, right?
Instead of being vigilant, the Nets took the initiative to provoke...
"Dangdang!"
"Shh!"
Howard, who struggled to complete two free throws at the free throw line, successfully scored the first point of the game for the team.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt, faced Chris Paul, and made another "dry shot", and the ball fell into the net.
Chris Paul shook his head helplessly, he really has no temper at all.
10-1!
Anthony once again asked for the ball from the flank. This time facing Wiggins' defense, he chose to turn halfway to the other side, which allowed him to successfully avoid Li Wan's interference. Although Chris Bosh made up for it, But Bosh's hands are as small as his feet, the interference is not great, and the ball successfully enters the frame.
3-10…
"Defend, defend, defend!"
Anthony, who hit the shot, yelled at the team and took the initiative to switch defenses with Chris Paul.
Since he is "Li Wan's nemesis", of course he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Li Wan!
Li Wan, who has no height advantage, did not shoot directly this time, but gave the ball to Joe Johnson next to him, and then tried to quickly get rid of Anthony without the ball.He is well aware that "Melon" has poor off-ball defensive habits.
But what he didn't expect was that when he didn't hold the ball, Anthony still stuck to him tightly, and he would have some physical confrontation from time to time.
Kenny Smith looked at it and called it "good guy".
He hasn't seen Carmelo Anthony who is so desperate on the defensive end for a long time.
In my impression, it still had to be in the Western Conference finals in 09...
The battle between the Nuggets and the Lakers.
However, enthusiasm cannot solve all problems. Li Wan's off-ball running ability is now at 90. After a "sudden brake", and then his teammates covered him, he successfully distanced himself from Anthony and caught the ball again. In his hand, Li Wan's shooting action tricked Anthony into leaping forward, passing in front of him, completing a split dunk with one hand while gliding, and incidentally caused a foul by Thaddeus Young.
"Bah!"
"beep!"
The referee indicates that the goal is valid, and a penalty can be added.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
This ball directly turned the entire Quicken Loans Arena upside down. When Li Wan made a shot, the unified "MVP" sound resounded throughout the arena.
Carmelo Anthony watched Li Wanwen make a hit and add a penalty, rewriting the score to 13-3...
It was 1 point more than the opening "scoring climax" he thought the Nets could play before the game!
between……
how can that be possible?
Anthony is not "Sister Li".
Ever since he joined the Clippers, in the n games he played against Li Wan, he has never been beaten so badly by Li Wan at the beginning...
And soon, he discovered the difference between Li Wan and the Cavaliers...
They also...
Too hard?
Carmelo Anthony watched as Chris Bosh fell on the front row of spectators in order to save an "out-of-bounds ball". Wiggins staggered towards the ball holder when he lost his center of gravity against his body, With the basket, Adams stuck the Nets behind him alone, and helped Li Wan grab a defensive rebound...
No!
How did this Adams grab rebounds like this?
At the end of the first quarter, the Nets, which failed to resist the strength of the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive ends, were directly hit by 18 points.
Barkley looked at the score at the end of the first quarter: 35 to 17, and couldn't help hiccupping.
That's it?
This is how provocative before the game looks like the real thing!
He really thought that the Nets had mastered some "key killer move"!
Now it seems that the "key killing move" has not been mastered, but the "key flow" has been mastered... In the pre-match interview, the confident quotations allowed them to successfully "break the circle", infinitely raising the fans' expectations for them... …
It's just that in the current situation, they are going to become "clowns"...
how can that be possible?
How is this possible?
Carmelo Anthony is sitting on the bench, still refusing to accept the reality, obviously he is the "Lee Wan Buster"!In the previous regular seasons for so many years, he was almost always the one who had the last laugh. He even swept Li Wan's team in the regular season. Why is it that in the first quarter of the Eastern Conference Finals...
Just got knocked out?
wrong……
Should still not adapt!
When I get used to it, it will be fine. This time is the moment to test my ability as a superstar. As long as I don't lose the chain, there will definitely be opportunities in the future!
have the ability...
Just hit me 35-17 again!
At the beginning of the second quarter, "Melon" came on the court angrily. This time he was more active on both ends of the offense and defense. Looking at him, the second quarter of the first game of the Eastern Conference finals seemed to be the final decisive battle...
Being so devoted, he also drove the momentum of the Nets. Although the point difference did not widen much, he managed to stabilize the current situation. At the end of the half, he scored 18 points in the first quarter. The Cavaliers led "only" by 19 points.
In other words, the Cavaliers only scored 1 point more than the Nets in the second quarter...
I will say it!
There must be something wrong!
How else could it be possible?
Carmelo Anthony now insists that the Nets' rout in the first quarter was largely a result of not being familiar with the intensity of the Cavaliers.
In the ESPN commentary booth, Drexler looked at the performance of the Nets in the second quarter, and also thought that the Nets had slowed down: "Maybe after halftime rest and adjustment, they may still narrow the point difference." ..."
This means that Anthony in the locker room did not hear it, otherwise, he would have to give him a thumbs up no matter what:
Know the ball!
Jason Kidd also said to the Nets before returning to the game: "The most critical moment has passed, guys, keep our momentum, and the game will end in two quarters. 19-point recovery in the third quarter is everywhere in this league right now, and I believe it will be another one tonight...Come on, guys, let's make a good comeback!"
A surge of passion burst from the hearts of every Nets player.
It’s just that when the third quarter came up, Li Wan faced Carmelo Anthony’s close defense, bypassing Adams and made a direct three-pointer. Anthony didn’t expect Li Wan’s shot to be so tough this round, and he chased it back. Sometimes, subconsciously want to fight, the result...
"beep!"
The referee whistles!
then……
"Shh!"
The ball fell into the frame.
"Yes!"
Li Wan, who was sitting on the ground, clenched his fists hard. This scene caught the eyes of the Cleveland people at the scene, and immediately aroused a loud "MVP" sound.
"Shh!"
3 plus 1 were scored, and this started with 4 points, which made the Nets fall behind by 23 points...
Even in the faster-paced "small ball era", the 23-point difference is enough to beat the game.
More importantly, it was this goal that made the Nets finally regenerate a little bit of fighting spirit...
For example, Howard just heard Jason Kidd finish speaking in the locker room and yelled "Duck!" But now seeing Li Wan hit "3 plus 1", the thoughts in his heart changed again. became:
I just knew it... I just knew it!
He is used to it anyway!
Because, this is already the number of times he was beaten by Li Wan to lose his temper...
In his opinion, this year's Eastern Conference Finals is just another one!
Anthony wants to fight back, but today Li Wan, Wiggins and Chris Bosh clearly stared at him.
No matter which way he turns, he will definitely be surrounded and surrounded.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that at this time, the shortcomings of wing singles were revealed.
Flanking singles requires the teammates of the ball holder to pull him aside, which leads to his teammates at this time in a wait-and-see state of "hands on waist", and the entire tactical movement is also in a "dead end" state.
This gives the double-team players more opportunities to wait for an opportunity to come forward and contain them.
At this time, players with the ability to play the ball may pose a greater threat...
But players who don't have the ability to play the ball can only force their shots when facing double-teams.
This is why it was so difficult to see flanking backs in the later NBA.
Compared with low-post singles, it has higher tactical significance. After the flanking backs attract double-teams, the tactical effect of pulling the air defense is too poor...
Especially in the more mature "small ball era", a player with the ability to catch and shoot the ball must be more marketable than a player who can play singles...
Facing the defense, Anthony shot out of the frame. This time, Howard stepped forward to protect the rebound. After a desperate hand-to-hand fight at the basket, Howard successfully caused a foul.
2 free throws and 1 hits!
Looking back, Li Wan still called the pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, bypassing the screen and even shooting directly.
Anthony, who had just been made a "3 plus 1", didn't dare to be so aggressive this time, so that this time he could only watch Li Wan make a three-pointer.
Come on!
The difference is 26 points!
Jason Kidd had no choice but to call a timeout amidst the crowd.
He couldn't help but glanced in Li Wan's direction.
This guy……
Are you sure it's not a monster?
Carmelo Anthony also stared blankly at Li Wan who hit another three-pointer.
This was the first time he looked at Li Wan with this look.
He would like to ask:
Brother, what did you eat?
Why are you so fierce?
He refused to believe what had just happened.
But the score, the timeout called by Kidd, and the uproar and tsunami of the audience made him believe that Li Wan scored 1 points in a row in less than 7 minute...
Moreover, they are all facing him!
Even, he couldn't even stop the foul...
Li Wan exited amidst cheers, and glanced at the "Nervous Knife" badge that lit up in the system.
In the first half, he made a mid-range shot at the buzzer. After the shot was made, the "nervous knife" badge lit up. This is why Li Wan shot so decisively in the second half...
With the "nervous knife" in hand, isn't that what I have in the world?
The game continued in the following time, and Jason Kidd changed his defense against Li Wan after the timeout.
As long as Li Wan picks and rolls, he immediately arranges to switch defenses.
It's just because Li Wan's shot was too fast, he could only arrange for Howard who followed him to defend.
But outside the three-point line, "small fight big"...
After meeting each other, Li Wan rushed past Howard and easily completed the dunk.
9 points in a row!
Kenny Smith shouted: "Li Wan, still scoring!"
28 points difference...
The cheers from the entire scene couldn't stop at all. The Nets launched an offense amidst the cheers, obviously impatient, even passing the ball was rough, a communication error, Carmelo Anthony missed the ball position, but Paul passed the ball out.Anthony turned around quickly, almost dodging his waist, but he could only watch Wiggins hold the ball in his hands.
Another counterattack from the Cavaliers.
The ball is in Li Wan's hands.
Seeing that the opponent didn't intend to attack him, they just kept shrinking back, and he raised his hand as a "chasing three-pointer".
The moment the ball was scored, the decibel level of this arena was the strongest in history. I don’t know how many bombs fell on this arena.
"31 points!" Kenny Smith said; "Li Wan's three-pointer killed the game!"
Drexler watched dumbly, he didn't forget the prediction he made during the halftime break, and it turned out...
Less than 3 minutes into the third quarter, his face was sorely drawn.
The collapse of adults is often in an instant, and the same is true for the adults of the Nets...
After Li Wan's three-pointer, their eyes lost their light...
In the next offensive and defensive battle, their negativity was also obvious. Looking at them, Barkley couldn't help but think of the scene when he faced Michael Jordan in the finals. He said: "I understand that the Nets The current situation of the team, and their thoughts..."
This is the feeling of powerlessness when facing the "God of Basketball"!
Of course, this is just his current thinking. When the game continues, he finds that the little difficulty he has suffered is nothing compared to the huge frustration that the Nets are facing now. little witch...
35 points, 40 points, 45 points...
By the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers' lead had reached 48 points...
"What is the record for the largest point difference in a single game in the playoffs?" Barkley asked Kenny Smith.
Kenny Smith said: "58 points..."
In these respects, he is professional.
"Coincidentally, the creator and the victim are also present at the moment..."
In the second round of 09, Carmelo Anthony's Nuggets beat Chris Paul's Hornets by 58 points.
"It is worth mentioning that at the end of the regular season that year, Li Wan's Magic team gave Chris Paul's Hornets a 61-point victory, which is also the current regular season history. Biggest point difference in a single game...Dwight Howard was also the center of the Orlando Magic!"
What is "complete elements"?
This is called "to lose everything"!
"Shaq, do you think there will be a new maximum point difference in a single game in the playoffs this time?" Barkley looked at O'Neal again.
O'Neal nodded with certainty: "Of course!"
"What if Jason Kidd replaces the starting lineup at this time and directly raises the white flag?" Barkley asked again.
O'Neal answered without the slightest hesitation: "In my opinion, even so, the Cavaliers can create a new historical record!"
The atmosphere is here, even if you replace the starting lineup and put the bench lineup on the court, can the Cavaliers' bench spare you?
This is impossible!
And the facts are not beyond Shaq - O'Neal's expectations.
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Jason Kidd really waved the white flag and didn't get any starters.
Tyronn Lu also followed the rules of the rivers and lakes, and asked Li Wan and other starting factors to "check in and get off work".
But another embarrassing weakness of the Nets is exposed at this moment. Their stronger starting lineup is their starting lineup.In terms of the bench, they have no advantage over all teams in the entire league.
But the Cavaliers can rank in the forefront of the league before the strength of the bench.
This season's "Best Sixth Man" is on this team...
So as soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Cavaliers, who were also on the bench, caught the Nets bench who had no fighting spirit and played an 8-0 scoring climax.
The point difference between the two sides has reached 56 points, which is only 2 points away from the record for the largest point difference in a single game in the NBA playoffs.
Jason Kidd jumped anxiously and wanted to call a timeout, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he could only watch helplessly.
The bench players of the Nets also seemed to feel that a historic moment had arrived, and they suddenly burst out with a "will to survive". With this fighting spirit, they tenaciously survived for 6 minutes, and the game was coming to an end Well, the 2-point difference couldn't be narrowed, and Wade immediately stood up:
What more to say!
It's my "Flash" shot!
A "Misty Step" and a "Wade Throw", the Cavaliers' leading point difference came to 60 points...
"beep!"
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 122 to 61...
The Cavaliers just hit twice the point difference of the Nets.
The final score difference of 61 points is also the largest score difference in a single game in the new NBA playoffs.
"Okay, today's game is over here, I hope the Nets can adjust well, and look forward to their next match..."
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Nets are gone.
On the NBA stage, encountering such a big loss is enough to cause a team to collapse, especially this is the stage of the playoffs.The next thing the Nets have to face is still the Cavaliers...
The thought of playing three games against a team that outscored them by 61 points, not to mention the Nets, even Bill Walton, an outsider, felt his eyes darkened.
Too Nima is cruel!
The live footage was first given to the Cavaliers.
The 61-point victory didn't make them too excited. They just high-fived each other and walked towards the home player tunnel.
Li Wan, who scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game, is being interviewed. When the camera zooms in, he can clearly hear him answering questions: "This is a good victory, but that's all. That's it, we still need to win three more games to enter the finals, everyone knows what kind of situation we are in now, we want to leave Cleveland with a championship trophy, compared to this, other things, not so much It's important..."
61 points, a nice big win...
Listen, is this human?
The camera also scanned the Nets team...
Carmelo Anthony looked confused.
It seems that something that has been firmly believed has been shattered.
Chris Paul buried his head in the towel, not getting up for a long time.
Dwight Howard is relatively normal, he is used to being abused by Li Wan.But the big boy's smile on his face was not as good as before, replaced by a bitter smile.
Early the next morning, the news that the Cavaliers beat the Nets by 61 points in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals swept across the United States like snowflakes.
Almost all the media believe that the Cavaliers can already study their opponents in the finals...
"This is really too exaggerated. Are you sure this is the Eastern Conference Finals?"
"I want to know, where does Carmelo Anthony get the confidence that they can beat the Cavaliers?"
"Is this the so-called pretending to be the biggest B and being beaten the hardest? Do the Nets still dare to say that they can beat the Cavaliers?"
……
Laughs filled the entire network.
Carmelo Anthony looked at these jeers, and silently searched the past regular season games between Li Wan and him.
He has watched these videos countless times, and it is these videos that make him firmly believe that he is "Li Wankexing"...
But this time, looking through these videos, what he wants to know is why he was able to beat Li Wan before, but this time he was defeated by Li Wan with 61 points!
Is it because I'm not as good as I used to be?
他回想自己在东部决赛第一场的数据：17投6中，罚球6发4中，拿到了16分，另外还有6个篮板以及5次失误。
Li Wan, Wiggins and Chris Bosh's double-teaming is too ruthless!
The Nets collapsed from the very beginning of this game, and it really has something to do with him...
Is it just because I'm weak?
That's what Anthony really wants to know.
After going through all the videos quickly, he realized that it was not just because of him alone, but also because his teammates had also become weaker...
Chris Paul and Howard are very famous, but after the first game, the two had 16 points and 8 assists, and the other had 14 points and 9 rebounds, and made 10 of 3 free throws...
Compared with the two of them, his former Clippers teammates Griffin, Jordan Jr. and Billups earlier are obviously more powerful.
He can't, and his teammates are not as good as before, so he lost 61 points?
like……
Is this reason not enough?
He continued to watch the video, and he was bound to find the key points!
At the same time, the first game of the Western Conference Finals also officially started.
Before the game, the league officially announced the regular season MVP of this season.
Although the performance against the Thunder in the semifinals caused quite a bit of controversy, the regular season MVP voting at this time had already been decided at the end of the regular season.
and so……
Stephen Curry was successfully elected as the "regular season MVP" with 33.4% of the votes.
He has been Li Wan's "second child" several times on the data list, but this time he finally put Li Wan under him.Li Wan's vote rate is actually very high, 28.6%.
14.5% higher than James Harden.
During the 37-game winning streak of the Cavaliers, it was a period of time when Li Wan's calls for the regular season MVP gradually increased.
such a pity!
In the end, the Warriors' record of 73 wins and 9 losses made the media more recognized...
Of course, there is another very important reason:
Stephen Curry is the first time, and Li Wandu has won the fourth regular season MVP of his career...
In terms of freshness, Li Wan is at a disadvantage!
That night, Stephen Curry also received the first regular season MVP trophy of his career under the witness of all Warriors fans.
When the cheers of "MVP" filled the entire Oracle Arena, the momentum of the Warriors was also full.
However, the Hornets are obviously rushing to smash the field. The state of both sides is very fast. You come and go. After the first quarter, the two sides are 33 to 31. The Warriors at home barely lead by 2 points .
But as soon as the second quarter came up, James Harden hit a three-pointer from the outside and put the Hornets ahead again.
Afterwards, the two sides took the lead alternately. At 6 minutes and 14 seconds into the third quarter, the two teams' fight at the basket became the fuse of the game...
Anthony Davis was driven to the ground by a big move by Thompson next to him, but the referee didn't see it. When Green got the rebound and landed, his feet happened to be mixed with Anthony's hands who wanted to protect his head.
Fortunately, Anthony's subsequent reaction was quick, and he subconsciously moved away...
At this time, Green was already preparing to "trample on the war", and because of Anthony's "four or two moves", he lost his balance and fell to the other side... That's why there was no eye-catching scene in the future.
In the end, each side played fifty big boards.
While eating a technical foul.
But after that, the two sides who already had beef escalated even more.
Green, in particular, began a deliberate retaliation.
Thanks to the sharp eyes of the baseline referee, Green, who spotted the malicious action, expelled him from the field.
At this time, the Warriors have not activated the "residual blood buff", and the situation on the court has completely turned to the Hornets.In the end, the Hornets made a "good start" in the Western Conference Finals at the Warriors' home court with a score of 118 to 109.
After the game, Anthony Davis said directly: "Green is a villain with no professional ethics. He shouldn't be on the court. Such a person should be suspended forever!"
The support he received was not small. After all, it was not the first time that Green committed a crime, especially after he became famous, the number of such small actions became more and more, and the nature of the actions became more and more serious. bad!For example, in the semifinals against the Thunder, he once used some controversial moves towards Westbrook, but in the end the referee only gave a first-level malicious foul.
This allowed him to escape unharmed.
Unexpectedly, this time, his behavior was even worse!
At that time, if Anthony Davis didn't dodge, the consequences would be really unimaginable...
However, it may also be because Anthony Davis avoided that moment, and there was no bad result. Even though Anthony Davis continued to protest after the game, the league did not impose additional penalties.
