"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Dwight!"
"Dwight!"
"Dwight!"
"Rashad!"
"Rashad!"
"Rashad!"
……
The scene continued to echo with unified shouts, from Li Wan to Howard, and then to Lewis, the shouts continued.
It seems that they will not stop until the names of the Magic players are called out one by one.
So excited, it is conceivable that Orlando tonight will usher in a sleepless night.However, it is also conceivable that the patrolmen are busy.
The fans of the United States became restless, it was not just a matter of yelling...
Li Wan clapped hands and hugged with his teammates one by one.
This also includes Dwight Howard.
This time he was able to cleanly sweep the Cavaliers, and this guy's cooperation is inseparable.
Although they don't know what the future will look like, at least at this moment, they are still partners in the same boat through thick and thin.
The Cavaliers players had already left the scene at this time.
, When LeBron James walked out of the visiting team's player tunnel, he ignored all the reporters who wanted to interview him and went straight into the team car.
He needs silence.
Everyone knew he needed to slow down.
In the past two years, he has really had a difficult time.
It was supposed to be the most promising two years, but Li Wan and Howard swept it twice in a row.This kind of blow, no matter who it falls on, is not something that can be digested so quickly.
especially……
When you are full of ambition and think that you will definitely be able to pick the fruits of victory.
This feeling of frustration is doubled!
So much so that at this moment, he was so depressed that he didn't know how to take the next road.
At this time, he thought of his high school basketball coach Drew Joyce.The latter gave him a lot of experience in basketball when he started playing basketball, and was his first teacher.LeBron has always believed that without Joyce, he would not be where he is now.perhaps……
My first teacher will know how he should go next.
He took out his hand, only to find that there was already a text message from Joyce lying in it:
——If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first.Don't worry, kid, you're still on the road to success, and you can see it.
That got LeBron James thinking...
At the same time, the media suddenly broke the news: Hornets owner George Sheen officially considered selling the team.
As one of the poorest owners in the NBA, George Sheen, apart from the team, his personal worth is only [-] million.
Seeing the rapid rise and fall of the team under the leadership of Chris Paul, he finally lost his patience and chose to shoot the Hornets.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
First, David Stern called George Sheen and told him not to make impulsive shots. —He didn't want to keep George Sheen.In this business game, it is normal for someone to be out, but Stern needs to know his identity and background when he is new to the poker table.Avoid strong players or big hands with ulterior motives to join, and play this "card game" that has been built with great difficulty.
Then Chris Paul secretly shook his "cannon fist" and officially submitted a "trade application" to the New Orleans Hornets.
The news that the Cavaliers were "black eight" was intertwined with these two news, which immediately caused a storm.
On the second day, the media coverage increased rapidly.
The "melon-eating crowd" also kept talking, one trail after another flowed out.
But even with so much news, the fact that LeBron James was "black eight" still occupies the biggest headlines.
ESPN issued an article: "LeBron nemesis? Li Wan and Howard have swept the 'Little Emperor' for two consecutive years!"
"Bleacher" bluntly said: "Maybe we have overestimated LeBron James' current ability!"
The "New York Times" joked as always: "I don't know if Cleveland can break their curse of no crown in another 50 years!"
……
It was swept by Li Wan and Howard twice in a row. This time, as the only team with a record of 60 plus in the league, it was "black eight".
Doubts about him grew louder.
But at this time...
Cleveland reported a big news! ——The Youmamen Incident, here it comes.
It was reported that the Cavaliers player Delonte West had an affair with LeBron James' mother, which made it impossible for LeBron to change his mind on the court.
Then came a wave of follow-up reports.
The voice of public opinion questioning LeBron took a 180-degree turn in an instant, and they all began to sympathize with LeBron's experience.I think it is justifiable for him to lose love this time, and it is impossible for anyone to be in a good state if such a thing happens.
Barkley fired directly at LeBron James' team: "This is really bad. You can't use this method to divert the public's attention. You have used it once last year, haven't you?"
After losing to the Magic last year, it was reported that "LeBron James' right shoulder was unable to lift up to complete a dunk due to an injury." LeBron, he will definitely dunk this ball!"
"Everyone loses. It's normal. Michael couldn't beat the Celtics and the Pistons back then, but there weren't so many reasons and excuses. No one is invincible. Instead of doing this, it's better to think Find a way to improve your influence on the court, such as... practice that damn shot!"
result……
He was met with unanimous criticism.
Giegie has encountered this kind of thing now, why not let giegie go!
Do you have no sympathy at all?
This matter has been raging for two days.
During this period, the Lakers easily eliminated the Thunder 4-0.
Kevin Durant shot 35 percent in this series, and Kobe knocked him out.
Originally, he thought he was the "leading scorer" in the new division, even if he faced Kobe, he would still be able to beat him.Now that I finished playing, I realized how wrong I was...
But think about it, this is the star I saw on TV when I was a child, I can't beat it...
It seems normal, right?
Besides, the Thunder are a "youth army", and they can reach the playoffs in the second season of relocation, which is already very fast.
He believes that neither the media nor Thunder fans will be disappointed with this season.
The future is theirs!
Kobe didn't tell him this, he said it himself!
It's just that at the press conference after the game, the female reporter's words almost made Kevin Durant break the defense directly.
She said: "Do you think you are inferior to Li Wan?"
Also No.8 entered the playoffs.
The Magic swept the Cavaliers and completed the "Black Eight";
The Thunder were swept by the Lakers.
In addition to showing that "eighth" is different from "eighth", does it also mean that Kevin Durant's ability to lead the team is not as good as Li Wan?
This problem also arises from this.
Kevin Durant was in a hurry at the time, and showed his usual sharp thinking and tricky angle: "Although the Magic team entered the playoffs eighth in the Eastern Conference, they are the defending champions after all. I solved some problems, solved these problems, and got back to the original state, isn't this result normal?"
"Leaving aside the records of the two teams, isn't this the same as last year, a sweep?"
Not a little bit of progress!
Unlike us, we didn't make the playoffs last year, but made it this year!
what does this mean?
It means that I am the one who leads the team with better results!
Li Wan has never proved himself in rebuilding the team!
Although Kevin Durant didn't directly say the words in his heart, he still vaguely pointed out that his situation with Li Wan, and the situation of the two teams should not be confused...
Facts have proved that even a reporter cannot be an opponent in the face of the brave and skilled "Keyboard Man".
Kevin Durant's call left the female reporter speechless, and she sat down with a smile.
On the contrary, "Xiao Shuai" became interested, and looked around, as if asking:
also!Have!Who!
The 09-10 season belonging to the Thunder came to an end.
In the next few days, other groups of duels were also resolved one after another.
Watching the big three of the Celtics embracing each other, Wade walked lonely to the visiting team's locker room. When he just entered the player tunnel, he was instinctively bored when he saw the reporters swarming up.
Think again about your age.
Wade suddenly spoke with determination: "This will be the last time I will be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!"
Endlessly led the team alone, and then fell in the first round of the playoffs.
Not even a single person to talk to.
"The Flash" has had enough!
Even with Pat Riley making his third year a huge success, he's reaching the limit of his patience.
This year is his contract year.
There are also n big fish waiting in the free market in summer.
He wanted Pat Riley to think he was "pushing the palace."
He is indeed "forcing the palace".
But there is no way, from the summer of 06 to now, he is like Pat Riley's mistress, chasing him every day and asking "When will you divorce, stay with me", Pat Riley every day Say "immediately" every time, but don't act.He didn't want to wait any longer. He was 28 years old.As far as the status of "mistress" is concerned, being "old and decrepit" means that he will immediately lose the bargaining chip to "force the palace".
and so……
Showdown now, old scumbag!
This time, don't try to use "immediately" to get past it!
As the league's "second shooting guard" at the moment, Wade's remarks blew up the entire media on the second day.
Kenny Smith was very surprised. In his impression, this was the first time Wade stood up and directly stated his attitude.
First Chris Paul, then Wade...
Barkley said with a smile: "This summer is really worth doing a lot!"
In addition to Carmelo Anthony in the "03 generation", LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh can all jump out of the contract and become completely free agents.
Next-tier Paul Pierce and Ray Allen...
The contract also expires this summer.
While Paul Pierce certainly won't be leaving, Ray Allen...
If the Celtics can't win the championship this time, then it's uncertain...
In short, it can be said to be "a gathering of big names".
From here, we can actually see why this group of stars, including Wade, are so restless.
Such a good opportunity this summer, I missed it, but I don’t know when I will have it again!
There are so many rumors one after another, but it seems that the next "best general manager" and "best head coach" announced by the NBA are not paid much attention to.
The "best general manager" belongs to John Hammond of the Bucks; the "best head coach" belongs to Brooks of the Thunder.
Both teams have one thing in common.
That is……
The rebuilding team made it to the final playoffs.
The day after these two awards were announced, the Magic also ushered in their second opponent in the playoffs, the Chicago Bulls.
This year's Chicago Bulls are exactly the same as last year's Chicago Bulls.
Derrick Rose averaged 20.4 points per game this season, officially entering the ranks of "All-Star" scorers.
But compared to last year, the rate of improvement is not that great.
Same goes for other youngsters like Noah...
He is just like Mike Conley last year. You can't say he hasn't improved, but the extent of his improvement is indeed limited.
The Magic easily defeated this team with a big score of 4-1 and reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.
After 5 games, Li Wan averaged 25.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, shooting 48.7% from the field, 40.2% from the three-point range, and 84.5% from the free throw line...
Absolute super giant level!
Howard's performance is not bad, averaging 18.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, shooting 55.2% from the field...
During this period, Howard also won the "Best Defensive Player Award", which is the second year in a row that he has won this award.
After becoming Big Ben, another player who won the award consecutively.
With this achievement, Howard can actually plant the flag on the NBA defensive history president hill!
But he is not happy.
Because everyone is saying...
Li Wan is one step closer to the second Finals MVP trophy in his career...
They have completely regarded him as the second head of the team...
You said, can he be in a good mood?
However, he still has a chance to prove himself.
Eastern Conference Finals...
This is his chance to counterattack!
The league subsequently announced the best lineup for the 2009~2010 season.
Howard was re-elected as "One Team One Defense".
Other members of the "Best Team" include: Kobe, LeBron, Kevin Durant and...
Li Wan!
Yes……
Li Wan also entered for a while this time.
Relying on the "180 club" level of performance, he squeezed out the original team member Wade.
Entered the "best team" for the first time in his career.
For this result, Li Wan was not that surprised.
It would be a strange thing if his regular season average data could not make it into the "first team".
If the "180 Club" were really that easy to enter, there wouldn't be only a few members now.
But what he didn't expect was...
He not only entered the "Best Team", but also entered the "Best Defensive Team"!
As early as January of this year, the media discovered that Li Wan had made great progress in matchup defense this season. The final statistics of almost every player who played against him were lower than the season average.
At that time, Li Wan knew that he could enter the "best defense" team this season.
But even at that time, he just thought that he would enter the "Best Defensive Second Team".
After all, there is a "Defensive Player of the Season Award" winner standing behind him.Even Li Wan has to admit that his defensive effect is so good, which is inseparable from Howard's defense.
Unexpectedly, he still entered the "Best Defensive Team".
It seems that his current influence in the league has indeed reached a certain level...
Sometimes this is the case, even if your ability has not reached a certain height, as long as the league and the media think you can do it, you can squeeze out other people and get this award or a certain position.
right……
Who!
In this way, it is equivalent to the Magic team having two "double firsts"!
Orlando Multimedia Pidianpidian went to read history and found that Orlando made history again!
This is the first time in NBA history that in the same season, the same team has two "double first teams" at the same time.
Super Plus enjoy!
It is worth mentioning that Oden also entered the "Best Second Team" this time.
This is due to the withering of talents at the fifth position, and it also has a lot to do with the excellent record of the Trail Blazers.
At the end of the season, the Trail Blazers ranked second in the Western Conference. They have already eliminated the Spurs and are in full swing with the Suns.And after 5 games, they are now leading 3-2.
Stoudemire shut his mouth completely.
He is the "best three team" this season.
Just as he was unconvinced that Yao Ming was the No. [-] pick before, Stoudemire also looked down on Oden, a "rising star".
但就目前两个人的表现来看的话，小斯22分5.1篮板，奥登18.4分9.6篮板3盖帽。
The offensive performance is slightly inferior, but on the defensive end Oden has a much stronger sense of presence than Stoudemire.
The data is incomparable, and the record is incomparable.
"Little Overlord" has no other choice but to shut down the mic.
Fortunately, he closed the mic early.
Because of the sixth game of the series, even if the Suns returned to their home court, the Trail Blazers still took the final victory like a broken bamboo and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
The rose garden is boiling at this moment!
10...
10 years!
It has been 00 years since reaching the Western Conference Finals in 10. After several ups and downs, the Trail Blazers finally reached the Western Conference Finals again.
If the opponent is still the Lakers...
It's even better!
The Portlanders of the Rose Garden are hoping their team can get their revenge.
But the Dallas man ripped up the script.
Game six of the series.
As the final whistle blew.
There was a huge cheer at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, and all the "cowboys" were excited...
They, won!
After winning the game, the Mavericks officially rewritten the score to 4-2!
The Mavericks eliminated the Lakers!
Won the last spot in the Western Conference Finals.
The "Black Mamba" had a look of resignation on his face.
He played very well, averaging 27.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 45.3%.
But it's useless for him to play well.
The inside line of the Lakers was completely exploded in this round of the series!
How to describe it...
Two words:
Toy!
Nowitzki's offense, coupled with Tyson Chandler's defense.
Dallas' inside line "one attack and one defense" abruptly defeated the Lakers' "three highs"!
What kind of trick is that?
Kobe looked at Nowitzki, who was hugging his teammates on the other side of the field, and suddenly thought of his weird shooting posture.
This guy beat his "sister-in-law" one after another with a shooting method that was different from ordinary people.
The Dallas people in the audience are also looking at Nowitzki on the field.
At this moment, the body of "Nuotian Wang" is shining!
From 06 to now, in the 4 years, this man has experienced a lot.
In the past two days, Dallas people have read a lot of reports about LeBron James. The media thinks that LeBron James is too rough.But in the eyes of Dallas people, LeBron James' ups and downs are really less than one-tenth compared with Nowitzki.
What he is going through now, Nowitzki has gone through.
Only now, he stood up again!
Still on the ground, still wearing a Mavericks jersey.
Even though it was just going to the Western Conference Finals, Mavericks fans in the room still wanted to give a shout out and show their love:
I finally waited for you, but luckily I didn't give up...
The Lakers fell in the second round.
This news caused a shock the next day.
Good guy!
It was only a tear-up of the script last year.
One is not enough this year, another one will come!
If you think my notebook is not good, please tell me sooner!
David Stern really didn't expect that LeBron is unreliable, but why are you "Black Mamba" unreliable?
However, Nowitzki's "tearing the script" made him realize one thing:
Wow, times have changed!
Forget "23" vs "24", it's spring when a hundred flowers bloom!
He immediately discovered that if Nowitzki really climbed up from the bottom, wouldn't this be the best illustration of the NBA's "never give up"?
and……
This is the real "one person, one city"!
really……
No matter how good the script is, it can't compare to what happens in life.
Bloody things can't be compared, and bloody things can't be compared.
The Los Angeles media was heartbroken.
In addition to scolding Bynum, they looked at Orlando in unison:
Li Lang, it has been several years since we parted in February 08, Los Angeles is still scorching hot, I don't know how Orlando is.I miss you dearly, and I am very happy and relieved to see your prestige and reputation.However, during the eventful autumn of the Lakers, recalling the transactions of those years, I often sigh to myself, feel pain and regret, if my brother is still here today, why bother Mamba alone.
In case Li Wan couldn't understand it, they also came up with a simplified version:
Every year when the Lakers lose, I always think of a person who used to like me very much, and I also like him very much...
The media in Orlando saw that Los Angeles scolded Kupchak there, regretting the original deal, and immediately gloated and said: Well said, reward a pot of "drunk life and dream death"!
5 month 15 day.
The league announced this year's "regular season MVP".
In fact, there is not much suspense...
When the Cavaliers lead the entire league with 61 wins, it already means that this year's regular season MVP trophy has already written the man's name:
LeBron James!
It's just that people in Cleveland were looking forward to this day.
just now……
It's kind of embarrassing.
LeBron James did not expect that the first regular season MVP of his career was actually won under such circumstances.
Speaking of which, he did come up with something every time.
Especially reflected in the matter of the championship...
Always a little skeptical.
With the announcement of the final prize, the final list of the four places in the Eastern and Western finals was also made.
Eastern side: Magic and Celtics;
West: Trail Blazers VS Mavericks;
Before the start of this season, except for the Magic, I am afraid that no one would have thought that these three teams would reach the finals of the Eastern and Western Conferences.
and……
Even the Magic team, no one would have thought that they would reach the Eastern Conference Finals in such a form.
To sum up this season in one sentence, it would be:
Tear up the script, tear up the script, or just tear up the script...
Yes!
The script is torn up again!
The Magic swept the Cavaliers before, and quickly eliminated the Bulls with a big score of 4-1. According to most media, this team has recovered its previous state and will become the most favorable for the championship this season. Contenders!
After all, it's two "double bouts"...
result……
The Celtics easily solved the Magic 4-2.
The reason is very simple, three words:
Howard!
This guy once again showed his "peerless" basket singles skills.
Even more irritating than before...
I don't know if I watched Kobe's short video. The more critical this guy is, the more he has to play singles with the ball.
It's useless to direct.
He is determined to be the most beautiful cub in the team.
The Celtics were originally the team that reached the finals this season, and there is not much advantage between the Magic and them.Every game counts.
Howard looked like he only held the ball seven or eight times.
However, it is particularly deadly.
Artest was stunned several times.
Every time he "woke up" and saw Howard was taking the ball again, he would get dizzy again...
Li Wan averaged 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 9 assists per game, and could only watch helplessly as the team lost Game 6 of the series.
What angered Li Wan the most was...
Howard actually came to comfort him immediately, saying, "We will make up for the regrets of this season next season. Believe me, Lee, I will definitely not let you down next season!"
next season?
Again?
Li Wan didn't even bother to squeeze a smile.
Go straight to the locker room.
The reporters on the side followed one by one, preparing to grab the most favorable position when Li Wan stopped.
As a result, the staff of the Magic team came up and stopped them.
Li Wan entered the locker room to find his mobile phone, and immediately sent a text message to Tai Lun:
——Dude, prepare the transaction application, we have to act in these two days.
Tai Lun quickly replied to the text message, saying that he will do it right away!
After explaining this matter, Li Wan's whole expression eased a lot.
It's just that he went out of the locker room again, but he heard the reporter on the side tell him: "It's not good, Artest and Howard are fighting in front of the media!"
ha?
As soon as Li Wan heard this, he hurried towards the "crime scene".
Sure enough, two groups of people were moving in different directions.
It should be separated.
At the beginning, he didn't know who these two groups of people were.
But soon Artest's cursing voice came from the group on the left: "You damn guy, listen, you will never reach the heights you think, Shaq is right, you are worse than them level!"
At this time, Li Wan also knew the cause and effect from the reporter next to him.
It turned out that when Howard was interviewed, a reporter asked: "In this round of the series, you played more singles with the ball at critical moments, but the efficiency is not ideal. Do you think this is a good choice?"
Howard replied confidently: "You don't think it's a good choice, it's just because I didn't make progress. Once I scored these goals, there will be no doubts. I believe that next season, you will see Until I improve in this area, we will go back to the finals and win the championship..."
At the end, he even shook his head.
It seems that it is really the next season, and, at this moment, he is already holding the championship trophy, and...the finals MVP trophy.
At this moment, Artest happened to be passing by. When he heard this, he immediately became angry and yelled at him, "If it wasn't for you, we would have already won the championship this season, and we still have to wait for next season." Is it very clear that you just don’t want to see Li Wan win the MVP of the finals, so that others will think that this team belongs to Li Wan!”
These words struck Howard's little mind, and he jumped like stepping on a cat's tail.
The two of them quarreled like this.
Fortunately, the staff at the scene separated the two in time.
Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just spraying on it.
I'm afraid I really have to do it!
In the decades of NBA development, it is rare to see a big fight immediately after losing the Eastern Conference Finals, right?
But now, even without action, the bad influence has already been caused.
To be sure, this team next season will either have Artest or Howard.
Just the importance of two people in the team.
It is self-evident how the team chooses...
But it just so happened that Li Wan also had a reason to leave.
First of all, Artest's remarks have almost made the "boss battle" between him and Howard clear.
The media is not stupid.
In fact, there have been media analysis before that Howard has held such a large number of balls under the basket this season, just to increase his presence on the offensive end, so that his influence in the Magic can overwhelm Li Wan.
It's just that Li Wan, who is the person involved, has not expressed his position.
In addition, Artest only bombarded Howard for playing selfishly in front of the media at that time, and did not bring this matter to the surface.
It's different now.
Artest's remarks tonight can be regarded as clarifying the "boss battle" between Li Wan and Howard.
What follows will be endless media speculation or speculation.
The "boss battle" of many teams has intensified, and these suspicions and speculations are indispensable.
It's safe to say...
At this point, unless Li Wan or Howard publicly stated their position, the opponent is the boss of the team.
Otherwise, this matter is not over!
But the problem is...
Artest has accused Howard of exporting, not once, but twice now.
At this time, Li Wan suddenly said, "Howard is the boss of this team", wouldn't that mean stabbing Artest in the back?
If any team boss has such a situation, it is destined to be difficult to have teammates who can stand in for him.This is the world of the locker room.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Wan and Artest are standing in the same boat.
If the team trades him, Li Wan must stop it!
In this way, it is the second time to interfere with the Magic management's transaction.
With the arrogance of the Magic management team...
Even if he is Li Wan, I'm afraid he can't bear it anymore, right?
Of course, unless the Magic management decisively abandons Howard and trades him away.Then Li Wan had no reason to leave.
After all, the team traded Howard away for you, what a determination!
If you leave, after that, no team will be willing to use you as the core!
Things go hand in hand, and now...
Let's see who will fire the first shot!
8 thousand words today.
The reason is the same as the previous off-season, I have to look up some information.
But in the past three years, I have written everything I wanted to write.
The first point is the regret of the Lakers.
Many brothers said that I gave the Lakers the championship because I like Kobe.
Like Kobe this thing, in fact, nothing.
Just like when I admired LeBron, in the 15 finals, I forgot the specific game, the moment he fought until he was exhausted, he finally defended the victory and smashed the ball hard For a moment, it was actually quite touching.
But what I can't stand is that whenever he loses, his team will come up with a lot of off-court factors, as if if this person doesn't win, it must be because of off-court factors.
There is no need to make gods like this.
Without this team, LeBron would still be an unavoidable player in the NBA in the 10s. When you talk about those ten years, you must mention his name.
It's like talking about 00~10 years, and the name Kobe cannot be avoided.
Cough, far away.
Let's talk about the champion in 08.
The most painful thing should be that they thought their choice was right, but time proved that their choice was actually wrong. This kind of remorse is the most profound.
The other is the book of Boston's "Big Three".
I don't think three players who are still at their peak won the championship in the first year together. What kind of "veteran never dies" is this?
So combining these factors, this crown must be lost.
Until this season, the "big three" who have struggled for three years met Nowitzki who came back from the trough. This is the "veteran spirit" I want to talk about!
