Chapter 233 The first game of the new year, do you want to be so fierce!
At the same time, the league announced the first week of the All-Star starting voting results.
Li Wan became the "vote king" in the first stage with 78 votes.
Howard, who opened the second place, has about 10 votes.
This data is really scary. You know, Howard was able to get 68 votes in the first round, not just because of his own popularity.Since Li Wan crushed him in the playoffs last season, the exposure of the Magic and Howard has obviously dropped from the top level to the next level. If it goes down again, I am afraid that even the title of "Super Giant" will be lost. .
There is no way, since Vince Carter left, the reputation of this team comes from Howard alone. At the same time, he also feels the helplessness of "leading the team alone".
The Magic are currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, with a tepid record.
Fortunately, the host of this year's All-Star Weekend is Orlando.
Howard enjoyed the popularity bonus of being the "host".
All previous All-Star "hosts", his total number of votes is much higher than usual.
But even with this bonus, Howard, as No.2 in the first round of total votes, was still 10 votes short of Li Wan!
From this it can be seen that...
What a big city New York is!
Of course, Li Wan also knew that the strong rebound of the New York Knicks in December was also the reason why his votes rose so fast.
After seeing the number of votes in the first round, Li Wan muttered two words secretly:
Steady!
It's not that the "All-Star Ticket King" is stable, but that the task is stable!
For previous All-Star starters, the competition for defenders is more intense, but basically they can win a starting position with around 150 million votes.
Li Wan got nearly 80 votes in the first round, and there were three more rounds of voting left. To gather 70 votes, it was not a matter of grasping!
not to mention……
January has always been Li Wan's "breakout month". Counting the four seasons that have ended, except for the first season, Li Wan was the final "Best Player of the Month Award" in every month of the other seasons!
In this month, Jordan and Kobe have to step aside...
The reason is also very simple:
January and February are the most tiring periods in the league every season, and most teams in the league will have an "injury wave" at this time.
"Injuries" exist like "scourges" for other teams.But here in Li Wan, it is the best "gas station"!
Boss, how can teammates prove their abilities if they don't get injured?
It has to be a teammate who is injured, stand up and prove yourself!
No, he just won the prize in the morning, and just learned that he was the "All-Star Ticket King" in the first stage at noon. During the warm-up training in the afternoon, Li Wan got another "good news":
Nate Robinson twisted his foot during practice.
between……
Tell me!
I'm so sorry!
On the first day of the new year, you have to do a big job!
Let me see who this "unlucky guy" is:
Oh hoo, Washington Wizards!
It turned out to be John Wall, the "unlucky old man"!
Fine!
Li Wan remembered that John Wall had been dissatisfied with the evaluation of the "second child" he gave him before, and he yelled there several times, "I will let Li Wan know me correctly!"
Then tonight!
Li Wan ran to ask D'Antoni for "unlimited fire rights".
When D'Antoni first heard Li Wan say that he had a request, he was quite puzzled. In this team, do you still need to make a request?You are not as good as Donny Walsh than me D'Antoni!
Without any hesitation, he said directly: "Li, you say it!"
Who are we with whom!
After Li Wan finished his request, D'Antoni smiled.
hello hello~
Why do I think so!
Isn't this thing in your hand all the time?
Do you still need to talk about this?
Vote, you can vote hard!
Can you not celebrate having won the "Best of the East Month"?
D'Antoni promised so happily, Li Wan was also gearing up and waiting for the game tonight.
However, while waiting to enter the field in the home channel, he looked at Tyson Chandler thoughtfully, and suddenly thought that he had already scored 83 points in a single game on the scoring side, and then he could score 90 points in a single game. Or 100 points or something, with his current ability and physical fitness, it is actually very reluctant.
But if he only scores a single game with less than 83 points, Li Wan feels that it is not enough to enjoy himself...
He has to make another big move!
As for assists, to be honest, it depends on the state of your teammates. If the state is not good, even if you feed it to your mouth, he can spit it out for you in a fancy way.
Right, who's the younger one!
Therefore, Li Wan has to find some aspects that can be improved by relying on teammates instead of looking at the player's status, such as:
rebound!
When Tyson Chandler heard that Li Wan wanted to grab a few more rebounds in this game, he didn't hesitate at the time and directly agreed.
This season, he averaged 12.1 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, among which the scoring is a new high in his entire career. In New York, he seems to have found the happiness of the Hornets.
wrong……
This is obviously happier than when he was with the Hornets.
Anyway, with Chris Paul's height, sometimes the pass is too stealthy, even Tyson Chandler will be surprised.
because……
Many times, he can't see Chris Paul there!
Unlike Li Wan, he has a height that can be found at a glance.
Besides, Li Wan just won the "Best of the Month in the East", and Li Wan wanted to perform at the "Best of the Month" level, what's wrong?
It's normal!
Just like Tyson Chandler will always reward himself for a [-]v[-] on certain days...
"Then, what should I do?"
He even specifically asked about points of attention, wondering what he needed to do.
Li Wan thought for a while:
"Just do as usual, multi-position, mainly to prevent the opponent from jumping!"
Oh!
"Champion" made an "OK" gesture.
That's it!
Everything is ready, now waiting for the show!
Everything is ready for Li Wan.
In front of the Wizards bench, John Wall was also full of fighting spirit waiting for the start of the game, especially when Li Wan came out of the Knicks home player tunnel, his adrenal hormones soared, and he looked like he couldn't wait. It looks like it's going to be a big fight.
No wonder he was so confident.
So far this season, let's not talk about the record of the Wizards, just talk about his own state, averaging 20.4 points, 8.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
It is already the data that can only be played by the top number one.
That is to say, the team's performance is a bit worse, otherwise, John Wall can now have his own seat on the current league's best No. [-] list.
But the poor performance of the team seems not to be blamed on him.
Arenas did not have a "gun shot" this time, and the Wizards management did not have the heart to kick the former "son of the city" out of the team.
After all, after Michael Jordan retired for the third time, it all relied on the "general" to keep the fans in this city looking forward to the team.There is hard work without credit!
Besides, John Wall's ability to grow so fast is inseparable from his guidance!
Of course, if you really want to say, Arenas' role for the Wizards this season may also be about cultivating John Wall.
Back from the injury this time, coupled with giving way to John Wall, the "flat-headed brother" who kept proving himself through performance amid doubts, this time he was finally addicted to the luxury of billions of contracts and couldn't extricate himself .
Tweeting videos all day for others to see how he makes toilet paper out of a dollar knife and wipes his ass there.
Old people can't count on...
small……
The third position is this year's rookie Jordan Crawford.
Although this buddy dunked LeBron in the Nike training camp that year, his skills are really rough, and as a rookie, there are still many aspects that need to be exercised on the court.
The fourth position is Blatche, who can't eat cakes, and the fifth position is McGee who often loses concentration and likes to wander...
Such a group of "ghosts and snake gods" as teammates, don't forget Wall, even if Bill Russell comes, I am afraid that the championship ring in his hand will have to be wiped clean before leaving!
Therefore, John Wall's goal tonight is very clear, that is:
Let Li Wan see his progress and prove that he is not just the "second child"!
Li Wan also noticed his energetic eyes.
really……
Even those in their early twenties look the same!
Pretentious, the heart is higher than the sky!
Li Wan thought back to himself at that time, the same was true...
However, now he has found the fun of those "strange sorghum".
Torturing the rookie, making the rookie's eyes lose light, it is exciting to think about it.
Li Wan, already looking forward to it!
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the buzzer sounded, and the game officially started.
Li Wan glanced at his system, and the second stage of the "Little Prince of Reverse Melancholy" badge lit up the moment he stepped on the court.
The fun has begun!
Just now at the home court ceremony, after entering the scene, Li Wan has been warming up. At this moment, the second part of the badge is opened, and he is in a full state. Looking at John Wall who is eyeing him, Li Wan feels that a burst of opening is needed.
and so……
He had just reached the midfield, and he glanced at the basket several times.
John Wall didn't react at first, but when he did, his face was full of astonishment:
You, what are you doing?
But, he didn't make it up!
He felt that Li Wan was definitely trying to seduce him to come forward and pester him, and then wanted to use his explosive power to pass him directly.
This is already the second season of his professional career, he is no longer a rookie, he can't be fooled by such a clumsy trick!
he……
Shot!
In John Wall's random thoughts, Li Wan, who had aimed at the basket several times, really raised his hand and shot, and the logo made a three-pointer...
There was an exclamation at the scene.
The astonishment on their faces was not much less than that of John Wall.
It's the first day of the new year...
Do you really want to play so big?
"Shh!"
The ball flew straight into the rim, hit the rim, and fell straight into the net.
in!
The cheers of the audience broke through the ceiling of the arena in a second.
Madison Square Garden: I Cracked!I'm overjoyed!
On the Knicks bench, almost all the players stood up like their butts were on fire, pulling each other to prevent their teammates from getting too excited and stepping on the line.Surprised expressions appeared on his face.
really?
John Wall's eyeballs nearly popped out.
Ambitiously waiting for the game to start, he saw the "big gift" from Li Wanyi, and his expression perfectly interpreted his mood:
I can't understand!
Arenas was also stunned.
Is this still the little rookie who cursed and hid behind Kobe and didn't dare to guard me?
Do you want to hang like this!
Hey, time!
It's really a butcher's knife!
"Come, come, come, run, run!"
Philip Sanders yelled and clapped desperately to wake up these guys from Li Wan's opening "King Bomb".
In fact, if I really want to say, in the "small ball era", this is not a very shocking operation. Curry will not talk about it. The "logo" three-pointer is already his exclusive symbol. In addition, Lillard also With Paul George, there have been "famous scenes" near the middle circle.
But now is not the "small ball era", but just the "giant era".
Although the status of the three-pointer has risen a lot, it is just a bunch of players who shoot "big three-pointers".
Like Li Wan's direct shot of the logo in the middle circle, it was still at the beginning of the game...
How explosive it is, needless to say!
Don't you see that even Arenas, who scored 60 points on Kobe's head, looks a little restless?
The "general" who dared to turn around early and celebrate the lore did not expect that such a "reckless person" would appear in the arena.
Including Sanders, he was not shocked, but quickly recovered from the shock.
As long as the reaction is fast enough, no one will notice, and he was stunned...
John Wall's emotions were obviously affected. After dribbling the ball at halftime, he looked at the basket impatiently several times, making it clear that he wanted to respond in time.
An early change of direction.
Then John Wall took the ball and forced it in.
I don't know if John Wall's speed is too fast, even Li Wan didn't react to this change of direction.
nice!
Sanders' lips curled up.
This "one-step pass" was not as explosive as Li Wan's "three-pointer in the middle circle", but it was quite exciting, and he could barely regain his position!
This kid, his ability to withstand stress has really improved!
But as soon as Sanders raised the corner of his mouth, the situation on the field changed drastically:
John Wall, who broke through Li Wan's defense, challenged Tyson Chandler, trying to complete the shot by taking an early shot.Although this ball can be passed to teammates, but...
In front of Li Wan, John Wall was thinking more about getting back the scene!
As a result, just as he raised his hand, Tyson Chandler took a quick step and blocked him quickly.
Forced John Wall to show his "peerless waist", dodging in the air, finally bypassing Tyson Chandler's hand, the ball was covered by a big hand before he pulled the lever .
"Snapped!"
Chasing hat from Li Wan!
"Good job!"
Mike Brown rubbed the top of his head like a "salted egg" with a smile.
For him, the assistant coach in charge of the Knicks defense, Li Wan's chasing the cap moved him far more than the "logo" three-pointer just now.
He smiled and boasted: "The tacit understanding between Li Wan and Tyson is getting better and better!"
In the new season, Artest's dominance on the defensive end has further declined. Last season, he also entered the "Best Defensive Second Team", and now he can rely on his body to carry people.
Once you encounter those fast and explosive ones, you will soon be unable to keep up.
So the Knicks' defensive core has been changing this season.
Last season, Tyson Chandler was highly rated on the defensive end, and many people even complained about him because he didn't get the "Best Defensive Player Award" in the end.
Mike Brown wanted to use him as the core to build the entire Knicks' defensive system.
But judging from the state of Tyson Chandler this season, it is really difficult to support the Knicks' defensive end by him alone.
In early December, Li Wan joined the defensive core package, and the entire defensive system of the New York Knicks began to rely on these two people.At present, with the running-in time, it is getting longer and longer.
It seems to have some effect.
Facing a "breakthrough player" like John Wall, Li Wan and Tyson Chandler have been able to complete the front and rear pincers very well.
After a while of running in, I'm afraid that a breakthrough player with a stronger breakthrough ability will have a headache facing the combined force of these two people, right?
As for who it is...
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I won't name names!
Of course, it can be seen from the "Christmas War" that this defensive system still lacks sufficient restrictions on ball holders with outstanding projections.
There are many factors that affect...
But in Mike Brown's view, if Li Wan was Artest's peak period, or Tyson Chandler was him last year, the Knicks' defensive system would be invincible!
The blocked ball landed.
Tyson Chandler wanted to take it, but thought it could be counted as a rebound, so he stood still and blocked McGee behind him.Watching Li Wan hold the ball in his hands next to John Wall, who was covered in sevens and eights.
Quick counterattack!
The speed with which the Knicks transitioned between offense and defense scared the Wizards.
"Mustache" smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame!
"Be optimistic about your own people, be optimistic about your own people!"
Sanders yelled from the sidelines again.
However, Li Wan made another "big three-pointer" shot less than half a meter away after halftime.
The auditorium still let out an exclamation first, and then exploded with a "pong"!
Still question first, then affirm.
In again!
In again!
Li Wan's "small logo with three points" actually entered again...
"What is he doing!"
"What the hell is he going to do!"
The sports commentator who broadcast the game locally in Washington looked excited.
They are in a hurry!
no way……
Who plays like Li Wan?
Is this playing basketball?
Isn't this playing 2k!
No, not right!
The two commentators can be regarded as "old 2k".
When they played 2k, they couldn't do such a ridiculous thing!
Facing such an opponent, whose child can stand it!
They really don't want to see John Wall suffer such a big...
At the scene, Sanders also called a timeout.
League geniuses come and go, and he has never seen a monster playing like Li Wan.
The referee's whistle blew, and the New York fans in the auditorium were completely excited. In just 30 seconds of timeout, they actually played "Human Wave"!
D'Antoni's small eyes were smiling too hard to see.
Li Wan told him yesterday that he wanted "unlimited firepower" today, and he agreed without hesitation.Li Wan's team status and his overall performance are here, and he has this right.
But he really didn't expect that Li Wan, who got the "unlimited fire right", would play basketball like this...
Say it early!
I said earlier that you took the "unlimited fire right" to play like this...
Do you still need Li Wante to tell him?
hang!
It's really too hanging!
Of course, D'Antoni has already seen it, Li Wan is about to explode!
So he once again emphasized Li Wan's "unlimited firepower" to the rest of the team.
In fact, there is no need for him to say...
With Li Wan's opening two shots, it wasn't just the Wizards team who were stunned, the Knicks were also shocked.
Only "Little Potato" was very moved.
Did he remember that there was a previous report that once a teammate was injured, Li Wan would always fight with his teammate's effort on the court.
tonight……
Li Wan is obviously playing with his hard work!
Who doesn't know...
His "Little Tudou" is a "King of Wave Casting"!
Unexpectedly, the relationship between Li Wan and I was already so close.
Really...
Impressed!
Pause back.
The Wizards teamed up outside, Arenas received a pass from John Wall, and missed a chic pull-up, Tyson Chandler kept his mission in mind, pushed McGee up, and the rebound was right in front of his eyes , was caught in Li Wanshun's hand.
Got another rebound.
Good brother, a quilt!
The Wizards expanded their defensive formation, and John Wall followed Li Wan all the way from the backcourt.
Scared of being voted!
Seeing this, Li Wan was not polite, and immediately used his explosive power to throw Wall behind him with his first swift step, and rushed straight to the basket.McGee showed his athleticism and physical gifts.
The huge arms cover the sky and the sun...
To be honest, the league only had enough pressure when McGee and a few other people could interfere with Li Wan alone at the basket.
Li Wan didn't try hard either, he immediately passed the ball from the waist of the jumping McGee to Tyson Chandler behind him.
"Bah!"
Clasp both hands.
The "boxing champion" ate his next cake happily.
8-0!
Look at this bright red score.
Sanders scratched his head anxiously.
This damned Li Wan, if he doesn't stick to him, he will make all kinds of unreasonable "inhuman three points".
Ok……
Originally, he wanted to use "large three-pointer" to describe Li Wan's two shots.
But he thought about it carefully, this is too flattering "big three points"!
Whose "large three-pointer" is like playing hooligans!
If there are rules to be established, Sanders insists on disagreeing, this is a "three-pointer"...
But now that he is close to him, he immediately plays a breakthrough ball again!
Sanders really has no temper at all.
In the end he decided to...
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Trumpeting his hands and yelling on the sidelines is the only thing he can do to help the team as the head coach of the Wizards.
He's out of luck anyway...
How to restrict Li Wan, leave it to these Wizards players to figure out their own way!
If you can't think of a way, that's okay, just grow up!
Sanders lay down.
But he didn't think about it either. The Wizards were a group of "stinky fish and rotten shrimps" this season. As the head coach, he was lying down. What else could others think of?
Ever since, Li Wan, who has logged into the "God of Basketball", "comes and goes freely" and "dominees" in the Wizards' defense...
When the first quarter hit 7 minutes and 14 seconds, the Knicks' lead had reached as much as 15 points.
"Mike, Mike!"
Mike Brown poked D'Antoni twice at this time.
"Mustache" was standing in the VIP audience ticketing area, and he was very happy to see Mike Brown's interruption.
"???"
You better be busy!
Mike Brown covered his mouth with his hand and whispered in his ear:
"It's time to replace Li Wan!"
"what?"
D'Antoni looked surprised.
Should Li Wan be replaced at this time?
He glanced at Li Wan on the field again, seeing Li Wan scoring another goal, his eyes were full of reluctance.
This is inappropriate!
Seeing him hesitate, Mike Brown said again:
"If we don't change, we will lead by 20 points!"
"You don't want Li Wan to be called 'garbage time' by the media and still count on the court, do you?"
!!!
D'Antoni nodded approvingly.
I have to admit that he, Mike, didn't think about this matter.
Fortunately, another Mike on the coaching staff of this team can be considerate.
He immediately replaced Li Wan.
This was destined to be a night when Li Wan's data exploded.
If the game can be more anxious, the gold content of this data will naturally be even higher!
D'Antoni is a little curious about:
Mike Brown obviously looks like a corned egg, and he is clearly a dark and stupid big guy, why... he is so careful and thoughtful in this kind of matter?
Mike Brown smiled "hehe". He didn't know how other coaches won the "Best Head Coach", but he knew very well that his "Best Head Coach" was definitely not just because of the record of the Cavaliers. There are other……
After this incident, Mike Brown decided to find an opportunity to persuade D'Antoni: The head coach's business is very deep!you can't grasp...
let me come!
Hey!
It's just that D'Antoni's substitution attracted abuse from all the Knicks fans.
There is no other meaning, they are just like D'Antoni just now, they are seeing it well...
Just about to take off your pants, did you tell me Disc?
Who can bear this?
D'Antoni was not angry when he heard the scolding, but smiled slightly, not caring.
He felt it was worth it to recite some infamy for Li Wan!
In this way, Li Wan's statistics in the first quarter were fixed at 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
Without him on the court, the Wizards really slowed down. Although they failed to play any effective offense, they still rewritten the point difference to 12 points at the end of the first quarter.
Li Wan was also the Knicks player with the most points after the first quarter.
Just the player with the second most points, the name is a bit unexpected.
Not Ray Allen, not Lewis, but Tyson Chandler!
In the first quarter alone, he scored 8 points, which is 4 points short of his average per game this season...
As the boss of the team, Li Wan has already put on the table his explosive "statistics show" tonight, and his teammates have agreed.
But at the same time, he didn't forget his identity, and he couldn't eat meat by himself, while the people under him were drinking porridge with clear soup and little water.
Tyson Chandler gave up the rebound, so he naturally has to make up for this guy in other places, such as letting him eat two more "cakes" on the scoring end...
He is definitely not because he is greedy for assists~
"OK, guys, we played very well in the last few minutes. Next, let's follow this rhythm and let us gradually catch up with the score!"
The Wizards outscored the New York Knicks in the closing minutes of the first quarter, giving Saunders an opportunity to give his players chicken soup.
However, if I really want to say...
The Wizards also felt that they had slowed down.Continuing to maintain the state just now, perhaps, can really turn the situation of this game into a stalemate.
The most important point is reflected in John Wall's tightly clenched fist:
Never admit defeat easily!
If you don't admit defeat, you will still have a chance, if you admit defeat, then you will have no chance at all!
It's just that the bowl of chicken soup has just been finished. As soon as the second quarter came up, Li Wan, who rested for three or four minutes, hit an unreasonable three-pointer from the flank.
This three-pointer is the closest from outside the three-point line among Li Wan's current three-pointers.
John Wall's hand had already covered Li Wan's face.
This ball...
But still got straight into the basket.
The point difference came to 15 points again!
On TNT TV, Smith spread his hands and said helplessly: "Look at John Wall's expression, he must be doubting the basketball philosophy he usually accepts now!"
Barkley said, "To be honest, it's too early..."
What he meant was that John Wall began to doubt his life now, it was too early!
The game has just started, and Li Wan's state tonight, no matter from any angle, is showing the same thing:
This will be another iconic night of his career!
The "unlucky guy" now feels that he is a "unlucky guy", but after this game, his mentality still doesn't know what it will be like.
Arenas, who has been paddling, responded with a three-pointer at this time.
Barely added a smile to Sanders' face on the sidelines.
Including D'Antoni's heart, Arenas also enjoyed this three-pointer:
Yes, yes, resist!
Revolt!
Only if you continue to resist like this, can Li Wan continue to be on the field and complete these incredible goals...
There has never been a day when D'Antoni hopes so much that the opponent's state can be better, and even better!
"Dude, take your time, we are behind you!"
Arenas made a three-pointer and patted Wall on the back to calm him down.
But in just 13 seconds, he doesn't know if John Wall has recovered his calmness, anyway, he is not calm anymore.
Because Li Wan...
Another three-pointer was hit!
"OMG!"
"Come home, let's go home, let's go home!"
In the ESPN studio, Drexler pretended to get up and pack his things for get off work.
Li Wan is in great condition...
Okay, let the narrators feel scared too!
The first game of the new year, why not be so fierce!
