Chapter 219: Nine Consecutive Wins!
In March, it's time for the NCAA National Championships. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Old people are coming, new people are coming, and Kansas has a lot of talented teenagers entering school this year. All Li Dong knows is a talented high school student like Sheikh Diallo.
So when Lawrence's media deliberately approached him, a "successful" senior, he also gave a lot of words of encouragement.
"Actually, everyone played well, and there were a lot of players who grew in the process of playing and were able to fight for the glory of the school. The game of basketball is not as complicated as you think, as long as you are willing to take the time to train, are willing to study the footage carefully, and seriously reflect and improve, the progress will be obvious......"
Mr. Li's official rhetoric sounded like that of a standard politician.
After the small video interview, it was circulated to the University of Kansas, and won the collective praise of the students of the University of Kansas, especially Sheikh Diallo, who was named, was even more excited, and said in an interview with the media that his idol was Li Dong, and he would definitely play hard and strive to enter the NBA like his seniors in the future.
Just when the basketball world's eyes were attracted to the NCAA tournament, Li Dong and his magic team quietly began a wave of winning streaks.
After the All-Star break, the Magic defeated the Pacers, Knicks, 76ers, Mavericks and Bulls, and counting the Spurs before the All-Star break, it was already a wave of six consecutive wins.
However, because the time span between the six consecutive wins is too large, everyone has not yet felt the feeling of such a winning streak.
After defeating the Suns, fans suddenly discovered that the Magic had completed a seven-game winning streak! The record is not much worse than the fourth-place Eagles.
The winning streak has led to an unprecedented wave of ticket buying among fans, and some die-hard fans have even approached Skels directly to inquire about buying tickets for next season's season.
By the time the Warriors visited Amway Arena, Orlando fans were even more looking forward to it.
Warriors star Curry said: "I will definitely win this game, although the Magic are very strong, but they don't have anyone who can guard me from the outside......"
Whenever this happens, no one can convince anyone, and Oladipo immediately countered on Twitter: "We have the strongest outside defensive lineup, and we can defend anyone in the league." ”
Barnes, who is also a social expert, responded in minutes: "The Magic can't beat us, and the seven-game winning streak is coming to an end in our hands." ”
The two teams are engaged in a war of words on social issues, and they are both young people with great enthusiasm, so naturally no one is convinced.
Li Dong found it very boring, even though his Twitter has been @ countless times.
"We're going to force the Warriors to make turnovers, and while the Warriors have one of the most firepower on the outside of the league, they're also the teams with the most turnovers in the league, and if we can get the Warriors into a spiral of turnovers, we're going to win." Skels raised his right hand high before the game, a bit like a pyramid scheme boss.
But he's right, and at least Curitt, the Thunder's star player, is a regular on the turnover list.
From the very beginning of the game, the two teams played very hotly.
Curry broke through the interior in a row, and let the Magic interior Vucevic commit two fouls in less than three minutes, making the entire Magic team form a passive situation on the court.
After Oladipo and Li Dong began to use color, the Warriors said that the Magic outside line couldn't prevent them, so why couldn't they themselves prevent the Magic?
As far as Thompson and Green's defense is a little more passable, Curry and Barnes at this stage, one is not much better defensively due to physical limitations, and the other is defending with his own talent, which is not much worse than Li Dong.
Turnovers, leaks, counterattacks, dunks, fast-break threes.
The hottest scene became the main theme of the game, and the fast-paced game made the scores of the two teams rise rapidly, and the audience was addicted, but the brows of the two coaches were deeply furrowed.
At the end of the first half, even Li Dong had two fouls.
Oladipo saved Durant today, and the offensive end completely let go of his own possession.
Oladipo, who is completely focused on defense, is terrifying, although he is not as tall as Thompson, but with his outstanding reach and strength, he still puts a lot of pressure on Thompson on the defensive end, Thompson only scored 7 points in the half, but spent 10 shots, and also had 4 turnovers, playing a mess.
Fortunately, with Curry, this guy had an eye-catching performance today, scoring 16 points in the first half and dishing out 7 assists, but in terms of turnovers, he was also high, with 3 turnovers in the half.
Thanks to the high score of the defensive counterattack, in the absence of Vucevic, the Magic actually led the Thunder by 7 points at halftime, 53-47!
In the second half, the Magic still dominated the game.
The Warriors have organized multiple comebacks, and they are always close to catching the Magic by a few points.
Until the final quarter, when Oladipo, Li Dong and others were rested, and a group of substitutes were bombarded on the court, the Warriors launched the first successful shockwave since today.
As a substitute, Sean Livingston can make a jump shot, assist a teammate, and retreat to defend steals.
In an instant, the Warriors chased the score to 82-84 by only two points, just over a minute into the final quarter.
This sudden change caught Skyls off guard, and although the bench players led by Evan Fournier and Frye are not particularly luxurious in the league, they are definitely not the kind of soft persimmons that can be handled casually, but Livingston of the Warriors plays like an All-Star.
"This guy ......" Li Dong naturally saw Livingston's bravery, and the two were also familiar with each other, but Li Dong had been with him before, and he never thought Livingston was so powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so good today.
Skyles decisively called a timeout and took the lead for the entire game, but he didn't let the boat capsize at the last minute.
The morale of the Warriors was completely mobilized at this time.
The main team did not return to the field, but the substitutes made the white-hot atmosphere even more intense.
Three minutes later, the Warriors overtook the Magic by four points, Li Dong and others returned to the court, and at this time, the main forces of the two sides returned to a seven-seven-eighty-eight, and the game entered the decisive battle period.
As a result, as soon as Li Dong came up, he hit a three-point shot half a step away from the three-point line!
The Warriors' high-spirited momentum was instantaneous, and the eyelids of Curry, Thompson and others jumped, and Li Dong was ...... It's so arrogant.
But the fans liked his unreasonableness, and the people who supported him immediately fell into madness!
Li Dong just didn't want to be reversed by someone else after leading the whole game, this feeling was like a boiled duck and then stolen by a stranger.
So he started to exert his strength, almost to the limit......
The decline of the magic is obvious, but Li Dong is in good shape, constantly projecting from the outside and constantly scoring.
After playing in the fourth quarter, Li Dong alone won more than 80% of the team's scores, and the overall score difference between the two teams was about the same.
Li Dong didn't realize it himself, and before he knew it, he was already the most trusted teammate of the team.
With just two minutes left in the end, they led the Warriors by six points.
Li Dong scored another 40+ points, and so far in the fourth quarter, he has scored 17 points alone, and his ability to score consecutive points is almost off the charts, and when Durant's hand is locked and cold, he looks more capable of scoring than the scoring champion.
In the end, the Magic beat the Warriors by 6 points at home.
It looks like he won by only 6 points, but the process is extremely difficult, Li Dong's sudden ultrasound performance in the last quarter was like a joke with everyone in the Warriors, and when everyone reacted, he had already scored 23 points with an invincible attitude, and he took the offense alone!
This is also Li Dong's personal highest score in the final quarter, he scored 47 points in the whole game, almost scoring 50+ points.
The most commendable thing is that his highlight performance was after back-to-back games, after the two teams had a big war of words, and it was a slap in the face!
The eyes of the whole league are once again locked on this rookie who is constantly creating some unusual topics, and when it comes to which is better or better with Downs, the Minnesota media is left with a stubborn and unchanging tune.
Two days later, it was still Amway Arena to face the king!
After a tough game, the Magic narrowly defeated the Kings 107-100, and Li Dong relented a little in this game and "only" scored 25 points.
The Magic, on the other hand, won nine in a row, the first time since the Howard era!
