Chapter 154: This won't be the last of the season
When the basketball falls into the hoop, there are 0.8 seconds left in the clock.
The East is once again leading by two points.
At the same time, reporters on the sidelines recorded this photo:
Screaming, wide-eyed, and with an expression of incredulity from the audience.
No. 24 of the Supplemental Defense......
Paralyzed No. 3 ......
Levan, who reached out to Chris Paul and wanted to pull him up.
When the ball was thrown out of his hand, the man never looked at the basket again......
He heard what Li Wan shouted to Kobe Bryant before the kill: "I will kill you here!" β
The moment he shook Chris Paul with the ball, he remembered again, Michael Jordan's "last shot";
The final arrogance is very much like Arenas in '07;
Chris Paul, who was on the ground with his hands on the ground, just looked at Li Wan.
The bright lights on the stadium are very dazzling.
When the man stretched out his hand, it just blocked the overhead light.
With his back to the light, Li Wan is like a "god".
He could clearly see the peaceful smile on Li Wan's face, without a little excitement, as if he had just done something insignificant.
Look at the hand that is close in front of you.
At this moment, he knew very well that he would never be able to catch up with the man in front of him in the matter of pretending......
It's just all-star ......
It's just all-star ......
I'm going to show generosity!
I'm going to show generosity!
Li Wan's attitude, so many cameras are shining, if I don't stretch out my hand, doesn't it seem stingy?
Chris Paul is in front of the camera, that's so polite!
After a moment's hesitation, he held out his hand.
But at this time......
Li Wanta......
He actually pulled his hand back again.
fxxkοΌ
Paul was furious!
You can bully me, but you can't bully me like that!
It's really not a sassy operation, or on the way to prepare for a saucy operation?
He thought that Li Wanlian's action of pulling his hand was also a link in this set of "Lian Huan".
If Li Wan can explain......
That's really a Chris Paul mistake.
Li Wan knew very well that this was just a quasi-lore, and there were still 0.8 seconds left in the time, and if he came to a pass that spanned the whole court, it would be enough to complete the lore in the air.
It's hard!
But here tonight, a large group of people are the best at playing and basketball talent in the world, and this is not necessarily impossible for them.
As an "old 6", Li Wanke can't let other old "6" steal at the last second of the game!
While returning to defense, he also glanced at Kobe.
Well......
His main defense is this old "6".
However, he was clearly overthinking.
The referee had just signaled for Shaq O'Neal to serve, but the Western Gang had not recovered from the ball just now.
Including Kobe, his eyes at the moment are also complicated.
When Li Wan made a move, it can be said that he was the closest audience......
is also because the distance is too close, Li Wan's goal made Kobe, who has seen countless big scenes, a little Bengbu.
When the ball goes into the basket, his first reaction is ......
Why, why am I again?
In the Olympic finals, he also watched Li Wan complete his shot.
The only difference, at the time, was luck, this time......
"Black Mamba" reluctantly admits that this is Li Wan's strength.
This guy's mouth is getting more and more able to spray, and his strength is indeed getting stronger and stronger.
You know, the person who was shaken down by him was Chris Paul, who in this league except for Deron Williams could make him so embarrassed?
Seeing that there was no movement, George Carr suddenly remembered that there was still a pause in his hand that was useless, and he was about to take it back and add it to his coffee, so he immediately raised his hand.
"Both!"
The referee's whistle blows and the game goes into timeout.
Howard rushed over as soon as possible.
I had a collision with Li Wan to celebrate.
Turkoglu also trotted over and high-fived him: "So handsome, Lee, this will definitely be the most classic picture of All-Star Weekend!" β
The two of them are even more fortunate at this moment, this guy who is always creating a big scene......
It's their teammates, not their opponents.
My brother is so handsome!
In the TNT studio, the shocked Kenny Smith was also buzzing, and after realizing it, he came back to his senses and said, "This should be the most classic shot of the All-Star Game, right?" β
Barkley, is regretting......
Even when he was sitting in the studio, he could feel a sense of shock!
They should have gone to the game to commentate.
Hearing Kenny Smith's question, Barkley's mind began to work, and he shook his head slightly: "It's not ......"
But just as Kenny Smith was stunned, he spoke again, "But it's almost ......."
Speaking of the classic footage of the All-Star Game......
What can you think of?
Maddie's "White Horse Silver Gun", self-throwing and self-deduction?
Allen Iverson's "big four" in the same frame when he dumped Kobe Bryant in a street action scene?
Still is......
Shaq O'Neal's "one-kiss relationship" with Maddie?
Kobe Bryant's youthful vigor when he rejected Malone's active blocking?
Or ......
LeBron James' flat-frame dunk?
Michael Jordan's All-Star version of "Last Shot"?
They're all classics!
And Li Wan's ......
Holding the ball and shaking Chris Paul, in his designated position, under the gaze of Kobe, completed the "quasi-lore"! also made a more arrogant "support" action than celebrating in advance.
Barkley doesn't think this will be the most classic shot of All-Star Weekend.
In the NBA, the only thing that is not controversial......
Only:
Michael Jordan is the first person in the NBA!
Anything else will always be more or less controversial.
Li Wan's shot, compared with the most classic shots of other All-Star weekends, can't sit firmly in the first position.
It's just that, in Buckley's view, any shot should not be in front of it.
"Lee, good!"
Stan Van Gundy watched Li Wan approach, and the sluggishness on his face slowly dissipated, and he gave Li Wan a thumbs up.
Players from other Eastern Conference All-Star teams also ran to give high-fives.
Among them is LeBron James.
"Bro, that's so handsome!"
Li Wan: ???
If memory serves, this is the first time LeBron has called him that.
It is worthy of being the "social flower" of the alliance!
Wade followed Li Wan's ass, the camera was very close to him, but no one paid attention to him.
He felt lonely again.
In addition, there is a sense of crisis!
Kobe Bryant is still so powerful, and now there is a newcomer named Li Wan......
Dwyane Wade definitely wants to create his own era, especially at the moment when he won the Finals MVP trophy in the 06 Finals, and he firmly believes that the NBA will have his own era!
But just now, watching Li Wan shake Paul down, and completed the quasi-lore under Kobe's gaze.
Think back to that moment......
Wade doesn't think that in the same situation, he can have such an excellent performance as Li Wan......
He had a strong premonition:
If you want to get results, it may be only two years!
But......
It's not like he hasn't approached Pat Lyley to talk to him about reinforcements. But every time he talks about it, Pat Lyley has only one sentence:
Be patient, boy! Trust me, there will be times in Miami!
For this "old father" general manager, Wade can only choose to believe.
Even, at the moment, he was impatient, but he was just secretly muttering in his heart: Don't worry, don't worry, Pat Lyley will give me a satisfactory explanation!
On the big screen at the scene, Li Wan's lore was replayed, and again and again, the cheers of the audience were getting louder and louder.
CCTV-5 live broadcast room.
The commentary booth is watching the replay.
The moment Chris Paul fell to the ground just now, Yang Yi's voice crackled:
"Oh my God, Lee Wan shook Chris Paul!"
Looking at the replay at this time, I still couldn't help repeating, muttering: "This is Chris Paul!" β
Yu Jia glanced at him.
In a round not long ago, they also felt that Kobe Bryant's "super loop" completed between Li Wan and Wade was an All-Star "Top Ten Ball in History".
Now watching Li Wan complete such a quasi-lore, I immediately feel that if Kobe Bryant's goal just now is the "top ten goals in history" of the All-Star, then Li Wan is the first in All-Star history!
There are too many elements, and for a while, they don't know which angle to start boasting about.
Director Zhang, who has been silent, set an example at this time: "This ball, Kobe really can't make up for it, if he moves, Li Wan will definitely pass the ball, Wade is waiting, the small three points are usually not allowed, and the critical moment is swishing!" β
Yu Jia and Yang Yi were ridiculous when they heard this.
Co-author, you have been watching it for a long time, just to make up for Kobe?
Is it a question of who is to blame for this ball?
"Li Wan is too good, this ball!" Yu Jia hurriedly led the topic towards Li Wan, and then said again, "The UAE probably knows how big a gap there is between himself and Li Wan now!" β
Yang Yi......
He often doesn't fit into the commentary because he's too normal, especially when working with these two.
A "UAE black", without the UAE game, he can also talk about the UAE.
A "Kobe fan", but whenever Kobe Bryant's game is played, the main perspective is definitely Kobe. is also when Kobe Bryant hits Da Yao, he will jump sideways repeatedly.
"Both!"
The beep sounded, the commentary was suspended, and George Karl laid out a catch-and-shoot tactic.
That is, the famous "Starburst" tactic.
In the end, they also managed to run out of position and let Kobe get the ball, but unfortunately in 0.8 seconds, Kobe did not adjust at all, including the change of hand shape.
It's just too difficult!
The ball pops out of the frame......
While the ball was still in the air, the red light on the rebound lit up.
It's over!
There are no miracles!
In the end, under Li Wan's quasi-lore of pretending to be full, the Eastern All-Stars won the final victory by 2 points and refused to overtime.
Kobe Bryant, who didn't talk to Li Wan for the entire All-Star weekend, came to congratulate him after the game. No matter what, it's just an All-Star Game, he wants to win, but he doesn't count too much if he loses.
Li Wan high-fived him, stretched out two fingers towards him, and said with a smile: "The second time, do you say there will be a third time?" β
Kobe Bryant rolled his eyes: "You can try!" β
The regular season between the Magic and the Lakers is over, and if they want to meet this season, they will have to wait until the Finals.
Li Wan's meaning is obvious, he just wants to say......
Wait, Brother Kobe, I'll kill you again in the finals!
Well......
It's Kobe Bryant's brother!
From Kobe's point of view, he felt that what Li Wan said was such a sentence.
Don't you see that he is shooting more and more mid-range now?
Who shoots the Magic mid-range?
Who does the Lakers shoot mid-range?
Whose influence, do you need to say?
Of course, Bryant knew that this thing would definitely not admit it, and he would not force it......
Li Wan is a tsundere, he knows it very well!
Li Wan may not know what Kobe Bryant means so much in his eyes.
Otherwise, you have to be "scared" and dumbfounded......
The "Black Mamba" of Dihua is also invincible!
Invincible and shameless......
Shaq O'Neill also ran over to high-five and hug Lee.
"Future ......"
"Don't come in the future, you want it!"
Li Wan opened his mouth to interrupt his intelligent spell casting.
These people open their mouths and close their mouths with the sentence "The future is yours", and ......
It's an all-star, okay?
All future All-Stars are mine?
I want this all-star future to be of any use!
Leewan's interruption sent Shaq O'Neal into a stunned smile. But fortunately, everyone in the entire alliance knows that Li Wan has a flamboyant personality.
He didn't care about this reaction, and took advantage of Li Wan's inattention, stroked his hair twice, and ran away.
In this way, it can be regarded as a breath of relief......
Let you cover me and rob me MVP!
"Heh~"
Li Wan tugged at the corners of his mouth speechlessly.
Let's just say that these NBA stars are all in their thirties, why are they still as naΓ―ve as children.
"Lee, which of the two of us do you think will get the MVP?"
Howard ran over at this time and excitedly handed the statistics of this game to Li Wan.
Li Wan took a look, and his final statistics in this game were 23 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks; Howard's stats were 25 points, 16 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal;
Looking at it as a whole, it's half a catty.
However, according to the practice of All-Stars, it is the one with the highest score on the winning side who gets the final MVP.
Li Wan patted Howard on the waist.
Don't ask why you don't slap your ass......
Asking is for fear of sending the wrong signal......
"Congratulations, man!"
Li Wan didn't feel sorry either, his original intention was just to destroy the original script.
Now that it has been achieved, the task of this "big villain" has been completed, so in the end, whoever wins the MVP on their side, he is OK.
What's more, now that this person has been determined, it's Howard!
He didn't feel any regrets!
The All-Star MVP belongs to Howard, so isn't the Finals MVP......
Howard grabbed him by the hand......
Li Wan subconsciously moved his big belly outward, and matched his movements in a slightly weird posture.
"Don't, man, if it were me, I'd call you by then!"
Howard patted his chest and promised.
"Can you stop pushing so hard!"
Li Wan rubbed his aching chest.
The first time I saw it, I promised to pat someone else's chest when I was pleasing it.
Howard had a "silly" expression.
If this is in the ** love bar, it is guaranteed to make a bunch of gay want to fall in love.
Soon David Stern took to the stage with the results.
His smile was exchanged for a wave of boos.
But his expression didn't change at all, but he was used to it, and even felt that it wasn't enough to taste: Don't the people of Phoenix have anything to eat? Your boos aren't half as big as Madison Square Garden!
After the boos ended, he also announced the final results: "Who won the MVP of the 2009 All-Star Weekend was ...... Dwight Howard! β
Really......
No surprises at all!
Gave Howard, the highest scoring player in a single game.
The scene booed again.
In the CCTV-5 studio, the three commentators who listened to the results had a little more regret on their faces, and Yang Yi couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Is it gone?" Gone? β
In their opinion, this all-star MVP can be awarded to Li Wan and Howard!
Without waiting for him to speak again, and without waiting for Yu Jia and Director Zhang next to him to respond to his words, David Stern's words paused and continued: "There are ...... Li Wan! β
Li Wan, who was high-fived Howard and pushed him onto the court, was stunned at first when he heard this, and then reacted in Howard's hug and hug.
There was a little more excitement on his face.
It's just not a pity that you can't get it, but if you get it, it's different.
Li Wan is not a person who is not flattered, and it is the first time he has won an All-Star MVP.
Especially when he thought of this award, he was even more excited when he originally belonged to the "OK" combination Kobe and O'Neal!
The Orlan multimedia on the sidelines immediately recorded the scene of the Magic team's "OK" group hugging each other.
Then he smiled and watched Li Wan Howard walk up to the court and take over the All-Star MVP trophy from David Stern, which was the best All-Star for them!
It doesn't get any more complete than that!
Kenny Smith looked at the result and smiled at Barkley.
When they only heard Howard's name just now, the two of them didn't understand it either.
If Li Wan, who played such a classic picture, couldn't win the All-Star MVP, it would be too boring.
Now this is the result they want to see.
In the CCTV-5 studio, Director Zhang was also clapping: "MVP, MVP!" β
The excitement is beyond words.
After all, this is the first MVP trophy in the history of Chinese players.
Da Yao can't get it, paddling is one thing, and there is another......
I really can't get it!
His style doesn't fit into All-Star Weekend.
Now Li Wan fills that gap.
Even more excited than him were the fans who were watching this scene on the Sina NBA website, and they quickly took screenshots and posted them to various post bars, as well as various social media:
"Li Wan has made history again!"
"The MVP belongs to Howard and Li Wan!"
"The Lakers OK combination didn't get the All-Star MVP, but the Orlando OK combination did!"
β¦β¦
In fact, they have been busy for quite some time.
Just now, Li Wan blocked Shaq O'Neal on the front, and the "last shot" that shook Chris Paul, and they all took screenshots and posted them on various websites as soon as possible.
Provide first-hand information to the fans who want to see it, but can't see it.
More real-time than real-time news!
Of course, compared to the American side, they do know some of the news a little bit slower.
Fieldside reporter Frank released a short video on his social media, which was a 10-second video he shot at the time, and you can clearly hear the sentence "I want to kill you here" before Li Wan's last attack.
In just a few minutes, the video went viral all over the Internet, Facebook, YouTube, ...... And so on and so forth.
For a while, the fans on the Internet exploded again:
"I'll go, isn't this the Larry Bird All-Star version?"
"Come on, big bird, I want to hear what he says about Li Wan!"
"Oh my god, how can you make me not love this guy!"
"Taylor, hurry up and break up with Li Wan for my wife, you are not worthy!"
β¦β¦
Bird's story takes place in the 80s, a long time ago for modern fans, and everyone who hears this story for the first time will feel a tingling in their scalp!
It's really so good!
At the same time, they also regret that the current group of people in the alliance are crazy, and they may be crazy to the level of Bird, which is indeed too few.
Arenas' early turn was enough for them to go crazy for a while!
In terms of level......
Obviously, the "big bird" is even more ruthless!
I don't know if I'll ever see a player like Bird again in my lifetime.
This is the inner thought of many fans.
I didn't expect that!
This "lifetime" series is really updated!
As a fan, Li Wan, a star, can really chase it!
There is more than him who can really pretend!
There was a commotion on the Internet, and Li Wan and Howard held up the All-Star MVP trophy in a boo.
Howard spoke first, he was obviously a little excited, so he was a little incoherent, and he didn't know what he said for a long time, anyway, the fans could know that he was happy. After saying that, he handed the microphone to Li Wan next to him.
Now the boos are even louder!
"Thank you, thank you!"
Li Wan's first sentence directly made the scene laugh a little more.
Bryant began to roll his eyes again.
How shameless this person is......
It's outrageous!
The scene gradually quieted down, and Li Wan spoke again: "First of all, I am very grateful to Kobe Bryant for not coming to defend me, and then I also thank Chris for accompanying me in such a scene......"
The low-key opening made Kobe Bryant stunned.
Helping to exculpate and leaving Chris Paul stunned.
The expressions of the others are different, but the meaning to be expressed is very clear: You are not the Li Wan we know, who are you!
Until Li Wan's next words reached their ears again: "Of course, the most important thing is that I and Howard are too strong!" β
Really!
This little outfit is more flavorful, and it will come up with a "scratch"!
Kobe Bryant didn't have any expression this time, he was too lazy to be surprised.
Finally, Li Wandao: "I believe this is not the result that everyone expected, and I also believe that this will not be the last ...... of this season."
"Alright, I don't have anything more to say, good night, Phoenix!"
The audience was booed again, but David Stern's eyes were full of light.
This All-Star Weekend was a great success!
The popularity of the NBA has also soared repeatedly in the past two days, looming as a threat to the two "alpine" football and baseball of the four major professional leagues in the United States.
As the focus of the heat, Li Wan naturally became David Stern's "treasure in the eyes".
It was right to promise him a "horse" dunk in the first place!
Look at how much movement it has caused this time.
If you can live like this, you won't have to worry about the next All-Star Slam Dunk Contest......
ββ¦β¦β
Just thinking of this, David Stern, who was originally happy, suddenly frowned slightly.
Two days have passed, and there has been no substantial progress in the negotiations between the joke and the LeBron team, who treat him with the same attitude as they do towards the media:
There is no explicit mention of participation, nor is it stated that there will be no participation.
Such a reaction undoubtedly made David Stern a little unhappy!
You must know that even Michael Jordan back then, in the face of his invitation, would not have such a lake-like attitude.
Even if he didn't end up participating in the "slam dunk contest" as David Stern wished, he also went to the "three-point shooting contest" and left a terrifying "legend".
Where there is a record, there is my "old rascal" Michael Jordan, not the highest, that is also the lowest!
Now, LeBron James has not even reached the popularity of Michael Jordan at that time, and he has begun to "make peace" with him, this tone, jokes can be endured, and he David Stern doesn't want to bear it!
He had to make it happen!
It's not just that the 2010 All-Star Weekend will be the final year after the collective bargaining agreement expires, and it's a time when results are in dire need of whitewashing.
Also because next year's home game is Dallas!
The city of Dallas has coordinated with the owners of the Dallas Cowboys, who agreed to cede the AT&T Stadium, which will be completed just next year, to the NBA for the All-Star Game. - This is a stadium with a capacity of 100,000 fans!
At that time, the All-Star Game will break many NBA historical records.
In what is destined to be an extraordinary All-Star weekend, David Stern certainly hopes that there will be more gimmicks to make this All-Star "a classic of classics"!
Li Wan and LeBron James met in the "Slam Dunk Contest", which is definitely the breaking point of next year's All-Star!
He's going to make it happen!
Wait......
"Congratulations, Li Wan!"
The more David Stern thought about it, the more excited he became, and when he finally shook hands with Li Wan, he congratulated Li Wan again.
From the tone of his greeting, Li Wan could clearly feel that he was definitely in the shape of a beautiful knife in David Stern's eyes at the moment.
Well......
Not bad, at least, that's what David Stern loves the most!
All-Star Weekend came to a successful end. Early the next morning, almost all the sports headlines in the media were swiped by Li Wan.
Originally, he had already taken out a few stunned dunks at the horse game on the second day of the All-Star Game, attracting the attention of fans.
Now he's making a big splash in the All-Star Game.
In fact, originally, halfway through the game, when he covered Shaq O'Neal's dunk head-on, it once made many media reporters think that this ball should be in the coverage of many media.
But judging from the things that happened later, this ball is really not even worthy of "lifting shoes".
Before the lore, say to your opponent "I'll kill you in this position"!
Like Michael Jordan, the "last shot" after shaking off the opponent!
A more arrogant way to celebrate in advance than Arenas!
Anyone who performs a similar action during a quasi-lore or lore ball.
It's going to be a classic!
And Li Wan, this kid......
What the hell, it's all done!
The special background board is still Chris Paul, with Kobe Bryant......
It makes this lore look even more classic.
This may be why the whole scene erupted in huge cheers at that moment, but when Li Wan and Howard lifted the All-Star MVP trophy at the same time, they sent boos.
They are fans of the NBA first and then fans of the Suns.
The cheers are affirmation of Li Wan, the boos are unhappy with Li Wan, and there is sympathy for their own players......
I don't like you as a person, but I am sure of your strength, and these two points are not contradictory.
The passage when Li Wan finally lifted the All-Star MVP trophy also caused a huge heated discussion in the media.
'I'm sure it's not what you were expecting and I'm sure it won't be the last time this season [happens]."
This clearly means that there will be some big accidents.
So far, there is still 1/3 left in the 08~09 season......
There aren't a lot of things that can make a big fuss.
First in the regular season?
This is not a big surprise at all......
As far as the Magic team currently ranks first in the East and second in the All-Star team, it is a favorable contender for the first place in the regular season.
"Scoring champion" or "assist champion"?
Well......
Barely counted.
But it's hard.
Li Wan's average of 23.4 points and 7.5 assists per game looks good, but the gap between the first place on the two lists - the first on the scoring list per game is Wade, who averages 30.2 points per game, and the first on the assists per game list is Chris Paul, who averages 11.2 assists per game - the gap is a bit big.
As far as Li Wan's team positioning is concerned, he does not have the conditions to challenge these two data lists.
Regular season MVP?
This one is for sure!
However, the possibility of wanting to make a disturbance in this matter is often small.
After all, most of the season has passed, and public opinion has gradually stabilized, either Kobe Bryant or LeBron James.
Everyone else is slightly less on the momentum.
Li Wan is only in the 9th position on the list.
It's a bit of a routine MVP possibility, but not much.
If the counterattack is really successful, it will definitely be a big surprise for the eyeballs.
After all, Li Wan is only 20 years old now, less than 21 years old, and he is about to be elected, and he will break the NBA's record of "the youngest regular is MVP".
But in practice, it is not realistic.
The regular season MVP must be the team's undisputed boss.
Li Wan is controversial in this regard.
In addition, without the support of public opinion, it is really unrealistic to want to sit on the throne of the regular season MVP.
The rest of the things......
won the championship, which was a "big accident"!
At the end of '08, the Magic team had climbed to the second place on the list of the lowest odds for spinach.
But after the game in January, the Magic gradually fell to the fifth position: 2.1 to 1.
Even the Rockets surpassed them.
The main theme of the alliance's media propaganda is still "23vs24", or the 21st century "Hukai War" version 2.0.
In short, it doesn't have much to do with the Magic.
In such public opinion, once you win the championship, it will naturally be a "big accident"!
When Levan returned to Orlando, he contacted Taryn as soon as possible.
The video of him dunking in the "horse" game is in the early 1 million views on YouTube, and it has only been two days.
Yesterday's lore also included the video of Cap Shaq O'Neal, which also saw a rapid increase in views.
These popularity proves that there is a lot of money waiting for Li Wan to earn.
Li Wan didn't care about the rest of the things, and in the afternoon, Li Wan accepted an exclusive interview with domestic fans and worshiped domestic fans for a year.
After being interviewed, I saw a very interesting news.
Larry Bird commented on Leewan's imitation of his "teaser kill" at All-Star Weekend: "Good job, but mine is harder to ......"
First affirm, then negated.
Typical "big bird" speech.
This statement also caused heated discussions, and many media even helped the current new fans recall the genuine "Bird Teaser Lore" back then.
Li Wan never thought that he had worked hard to pretend to be a comparison, but the heat made Bird rub it, and he was so angry that he directly named him: "Bird, I want to dunk with you, I can let you have one hand!" β
Bird:......
The Green Army successfully saw Li Wan's shamelessness.
β¦β¦
On Feb. 18, the day after All-Star Weekend, the NBA regular season was back in flames.
The Magic at home are challenged by the Atlanta Hawks.
They played seven games against the Celtics last season and played the entire series before losing to the Celtics.
At that time, many media were saying that the Eagles would inevitably rise in the new season.
And at the beginning of the new season, the Hawks proved that these guys didn't fart this time.
At the moment they have also stabilized their rankings.
Fourth ...... in the East
This season's Eastern "top three" is really a bit scary, and ranking in this position is really good for the Hawks.
Well......
Again, it's the limit.
In terms of ceilings, this Atlanta's "Civilian Five Eagles" is much more ordinary than the one in the future.
Originally, they also reached third place in the East next season.
Later, the "Civilian Five Eagles", who won the "Player of the Month Award" together, played the first place in the East and had a record of "undefeated in a single month......
This game exposed problems that the Eagles couldn't solve.
The score remained deadlocked until 6:15 of the third quarter, when Lee Wan stepped up and hit back-to-back shots to extend the margin to more than 9 points, during which Joe Johnson stepped up and responded with a blow before ......
There will be no sound!
This is the biggest drawback of the "civilian team" and the key problem they usually don't get far in the playoffs.
When the score was scorching, none of them could step up and score.
Joe Johnson is a good "singlesman" and can step up once in a while, but that's about it......
108 to 97.
The Magic ended the Hawks' "three-game winning streak" before the end of All-Star Weekend and brought their own winning streak to four.
However, Stan Van Gundy's goal is to win the remaining six games of the month.
After the All-Star break, the competition in the regular season has also come to its fiercest.
The 9th and 10th teams are working towards a playoff spot.
The teams in fifth and sixth place are struggling to gain home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs and avoid some of the "natural predators" in the upper ranks.
The competition between the top teams is just as fierce.
Especially in this year's East, everyone wants to take advantage of the fisherman's profit and wait for the results of the other two teams on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Although the Magic currently sit in the first place in the East, the gap between wins and games is not very obvious.
The Cavaliers are one win ahead of the second-place Cavaliers and three wins ahead of the third-place Celtics.
There are 32 games left in the regular season, which is not even a fart......
That's why Stan Van Gundy stresses every day the importance of staying first in the East.
In this repeated emphasis, the Magic team quickly adjusted from the holiday state of All-Star Weekend.
Even if the next wave of "three consecutive guests" and the last wave of "back-to-back" are still carried out, they are like Menglong crossing the river, like a bamboo.
February 20th.
Coming to Washington again.
Arenas had just finished two games of the new season when he suffered another major injury at the season reimbursement level.
The Wizards, whose core is not there, have no master.
The Magic team had a wave of "attack waves", and before the end of the half, they had already played a 25-point difference.
Originally, there was only 6 percent of the attendance in this game, but with this wave of attacks, there were only 2 percent left, and they were all fans who came specifically to see Li Wan.
It's just that with such a big advantage, Stan Van Gundy can't keep Li Wan on the court all the time.
At 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the third quarter, this year's new All-Star MVP was already sitting on the sidelines drinking Gatorade's bragging pen.
"This kid has a good style of play......"
Jason Williams suddenly looked at a certain Wizards player on the court and complimented.
Li Wan was a little puzzled, Williams, who has a gorgeous style of play, thinks that people with a good style of play definitely play well!
Arenas is injured, and there are still people like this on the Wizards' roster?
Follow his eyes......
Seeing the person who was praised clearly, Li Wan was not surprised at that time.
Sudden rhythm pause!
Coherent dribbling!
Silky turn!
There was also a "clang" sound of striking iron......
It's no one else......
It's "you are strong, you are strong, Lao Tzu Nick Yang"!
It turns out that this kid is now playing as a bench with the Wizards?
Li Wan also remembered in hindsight that Nick Young seemed to be in the same class as him, both of them were rookies last year.
Looking at the current style of play, it is not far from the "Yang Shaoxia" of "Kobe Bryant wants the ball and I play singles" in the future.
In the first game of the final "three-in-a-row", the Magic team won by 30 points!
On February 22, the second away game of the Magic team's "three consecutive aways".
What they're going to challenge is the Chicago Bulls.
Li Wan is going to meet the 08 champion again.
The game was also adjusted by David Stern to be "All-American Live".
In fact......
As far as the outside world is concerned, this game should not reach this level.
Even at present, Derrick Rose can contribute 17.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1 steal per game. The Bulls' record also unknowingly climbed to fifth place in the East......
In all likelihood, it will be a rehearsal for the Eastern Conference semifinals.
There is also the contradiction between Noah and Li Wan as a gimmick!
This game also did not reach the "national live broadcast", and it was also a temporary "national live broadcast" treatment.
To know?
On the same day as this game, there was also a game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics.
It turned out that the game was not "national live", and David Stern instead listed the game as "national live".
Someone smelled something wrong.
Li Wan was also a little surprised when he saw Derrick Rose's stats, because Derrick Rose's current average per game data is better than his original one.
And he didn't hear that Derrick Rose struggled at the end of the season, but he should be getting better and better, otherwise, he would not have been able to score 36 points in the first game of the playoffs, setting a record for scoring in the first game of a playoff rookie.
According to the original growth trajectory of Derrick Rose, his current average per game data should increase by the end of the season!
This......
It wasn't until after the end of this game that Li Wan understood the reason.
It's not complicated.
It's the arrival of Rasheed Wallace that takes all aspects of the pressure off him, allowing him to switch at any time like Billups did when he was with the Pistons.
Come to think of it, with such a "best second master", how could Derrick Rose not be able to play better average data per game than originally possible?
Plus, the arrival of Rashid Wallace didn't just make Derrick Rose profitable.
Noah also learned a lot by following his ass.
As a "one-time defense" in a single season in the future, although it is the most watery in this honor, Noah's playing style is highly overlapping with Hualaishi.
With his help, Noah averaged 8.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this season, compared with his average of 6.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in the same period.
Even the "girl chirping" pitch was developed for him in advance.
It can help Rose reduce pressure and play better individual performance; and to coach Noah and make the latter grow quickly, it's no wonder that the Bulls sent two main rotations at that time, and brought in "Roaring Tianzun" from the Pistons.
As it turned out, this was quite true.
Both newcomers benefited.
The team's record has also benefited!
The Magic won this game very hard, and at the last moment, Lewis made two consecutive three-pointers, which made it a dangerous one.
106-99 victory over the Bulls.
Noah was not depressed after the game, he could feel that the strength of the team was getting closer and closer to the Magic!
Someday, he'll be able to respond once!
He even thought about what he would say to Li Wan at that time:
Noah's riposte, although late, arrived!
After that, the Magic team won a streak, and even the "back-to-back" gritted their teeth to resist.
There is only one game left until the end of February when Stan Van Gundy wants to win all the games.
On February 27, the Magic will take on the Boston Celtics away!
