Chapter 155: Anyone can, but Li Wan can't
After All-Star Weekend, the Magic haven't lost yet.
Like them......
The Celtics haven't lost yet.
Although they are still three wins behind the Magic, they are a little closer to the Cavaliers' wins, and they are now one win away from the Cavaliers.
If they win tonight's game, the gap between them and the Magic will be reduced to two!
Even, as long as they win tonight, even if the Celtics have the same record as the Magic, they can rely on the win-loss advantage between the two teams to become the first in the East.
For the Green Army, who did not win away from home before reaching the Finals last season, the first place in the East will allow them to unload a lot of baggage when the playoffs come.
It is also for this reason that tonight's game of the Green Army can be described as carefully prepared and ready for battle.
He played very well from the start.
Their starting lineup: Rajon Rondo at No. 1, Ray Allen at No. 2, Paul Pierce at No. 3, Kevin Garnett at No. 4, Perkins at No. 5......
The tacit understanding between them can be said to be getting better and better!
The Magic tried to form a counterattack several times in the first quarter, but they were all suppressed.
The Celtics led 27-23 heading into the second quarter.
As soon as the second quarter came up, there were still substitute lineups on both sides.
As soon as Crawford dribbled the show, he felt like a "black butterfly", and after Eddie House, who was on the opposite side of the show, was stunned in place, he made a light jump, opened up space, and scored a mid-range jumper!
25 to 27.
There are still 2 points left in the difference.
On the Celtics' side, Eddie House wanted to fight back, but in the face of Michael Petrus's defense, he hurriedly shot and bounced out of the frame.
McDees protected the rebound and gave it to Crawford as soon as possible.
Seriously, Crawford's current treatment with the Magic is a bit like the 76ers' version of "A" on the bench.
That year, the 76ers relied on "four guarantees and one" to reach the finals.
The power of this system is still there.
But this "one" is crucial.
Crawford certainly doesn't have the firepower of Allen Iverson.
But the problem is that he is not facing the elite of his opponents.
It's the opposing side's bench.
In terms of effect, it really has a fight with the 76ers of that year.
It's really hard to have guys on the bench who can limit Crawford's scoring......
It's not ......
Crawford once again singled House to complete the scoring.
This time it's still a 3 point!
Rivers had no choice but to get the starting lineup back on the court.
"River Document" had a bit of depression on his face.
In fact, at the beginning of January, the Celtics did have a bench player who could Conte Crawford.
Tony Allen, who was selected with the 25th pick in the first round in 04, ushered in a metamorphosis this season, and as a result, Tony Allen, who was reimbursed for the season just last season, was injured again and reimbursed for another season.
Otherwise, with his defensive ability, he will definitely make Crawford unable to eat and walk around!
At the moment, we can only let the "Big Three" play a little earlier and stabilize the situation.
Kevin Garnett rubbed his face as he got up.
The All-Star weekend break didn't make his leg discomfort go away, but the Celtics are currently attacking the first place in the East, and he can't ask Rivers for a time off.
He knows exactly what this Eastern Conference No. 1 position means to the Celtics.
At this time, as the toughest man in the whole league, he can't retreat!
Stan Van Gundy saw the opposite side change the main force on the field, and immediately changed to the starting lineup.
In terms of the arrangement of this game, "Coach Anthy" is completely arranged according to the playoff level. After all, the Celtics are one of the Magic's imaginary enemies.
He also beat the Magic before.
For such a team, Stan Van Gundy hopes to have more information before the playoffs begin.
Lewan high-fived Crawford.
The latter had seven points tonight and was very efficient on 3-of-6 shooting, including one three-pointer.
The only problem may be fitness.
At this point, just over two minutes into the second quarter, Crawford's chest was already exaggerated.
This is also the reason why Crawford has such a great singles ability, and the final way out is still on the bench.
The first attack belonged to the Celtics.
Rajon Rondo held the ball in front of Li Wan, who let him go two steps away, but still chose to make an indomitable breakthrough.
Li Wan was so far away, calmly judged his breakthrough path and intercepted him. It's just that the breakthrough of Rajon Rondo in this period, many times, is just to make room for the outside line.
Like this ball.
Rajan-Rondo moves at the same time.
Paul Pearce made a good quality cover on the wing of the three-point line.
Ray Allen is as agile as a fawn.
Bypass Pierce while throwing Raga Bell out of the way.
Ran right behind Rajan Rondo.
Take the ball and shoot.
3 points in!
This season, the three-point feel of "Junzi Lei" is really stable, as if his hands have been roasted in an invisible microwave oven, as long as there is an opportunity, it can be grasped.
The difference narrowed to 1 point at once.
The Magic counterattacked, and Turkoglou took two steps inside with the ball, forcing the entire Celtics defense to shrink, and it was also a pass to the outside.
Li Wan grabbed it and was about to make a move, and after the realistic feints tricked Rajan Rondo into getting closer, he immediately broke through with the ball with a low center of gravity.
To say that this Rajon Rondo deserves to be the "best defensive second team" of the original season, when he pounced, the whole center of gravity was stunned.
The lowered rhythm of the body also completely kept up with Li Wan.
The last 9 seconds of the 24-second offensive round.
Li Wan simply pulled out of the three-point line, and then asked his teammates to pull away.
Rajan Rondo's "poker face" did not change at all, and his eyes were fixed on Li Wan.
Li Wan moved with 5 seconds left.
The continuous rhythm paused, forcing Rajan Rondo to step forward and reach out to break it.
A sudden "dribble jump from behind" successfully got rid of Rajon Rondo, elbow mid-range, and Li Wan faced Kevin Garnett's defense and hit the ball.
This ball Li Wan started suddenly, Rajon Rondo didn't react, Kevin Garnett was similar, and the quality of the defense was not high.
This "dribble jump behind the back" is really easy to use!
Since Li Wan learned his signature from Crawford, the more he used it, the more practical it became.
Compared to Crawford, his explosiveness is better, so the whole body is a little more erratic than Crawford.
It's just that Li Wan feels that there is still something missing, and he can create his own signature moves on the basis of Crawford's move.
The difference is 3 points.
Thibodeau looked at Li Wan, who was returning to the defense, and silently wrote this paragraph in his notebook: An excellent singles player can no longer easily give him space for singles, and his label of "nerve knife" will make us pay the price.
The Magic's side is also adjusting.
The Celtics' "Fawn" was so agile that Stan Van Gundy had to let "Van Go" deal with him.
Raja Bale switches to the No. 1 position.
Compared to Leevan, Raja-Bell is more proactive.
When Rajon Rondo wanted to break through, he was the first to break his dribbling rhythm and the opportunity to break through was fleeting, and he could only give the ball to Paul Pierce on the wing.
Ray Allen's side deliberately bypassed Paul Pierce several times, looking like he wanted to play "hand-to-hand", in fact, he intended to force the Magic side to change defenses.
It's just that Li Wan chased and blocked well, and the Magic team was not fooled.
Seeing that the offensive time was approaching, Paul Pierce took out his signature back shot, and after all kinds of squirming, his body looked like he was about to lose his balance, and he shot and scored in the middle distance!
The margin is back to 1 point.
Stan Van Gundy watched Ray Allen and Paul Pierce stand up separately, knowing that if they continued to fight like this, Boston's "Big Three" would have to feel hot.
When the time comes, with the tandem of Rajon Rondo, this game will definitely be unplayable.
So try to give Paul Pierce enough space to play and let Tekoglu figure it out on his own.
The Celtics' side defended in the exact opposite way.
Thibodeau asked the whole team to keep an eye on Li Wan, and as soon as he showed signs of singles, he immediately helped to wrap the bag, although Li Wan got several assists as a result.
But he really didn't get many more singles opportunities.
However, Li Wan, who noticed this, was more focused on finding singles opportunities in the future, forcing the opponent to wrap up and deliver "cannonballs" to his teammates to help them fire.
The effect is not bad.
At 8:14 of the third quarter, Lewis hit his fourth three-pointer of the game, while Turkoglu also threw in three three-pointers.
This season, among the 30 teams in the league, if there is any team that shoots the most dangerous three-point shot, at least half of the media's first reaction must be the Magic.
So far, the Magic have made 15 or more 3-pointers or more in a game, about 20 games, winning 17 games and losing only 3 games.
Thibodeau is still sticking to his current defensive style.
At the end of the third quarter, the Magic led by seven points on the road.
Turkoglu 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists;
Lewis had 18 points, five three-pointers, and at the end of the third quarter, he threw in another three-pointer;
It's just that Thibodeau looked at the statistics as if he hadn't seen it, with satisfaction in his eyes.
Li Wan has 14 points so far......
No less!
But eighty percent of them are catch-and-shoot shots, or secondary offenses.
The percentage of off-the-ball offenses is small.
Since he consciously wanted to cut off Li Wan's singles, he almost didn't get any singles opportunities.
That's it!
Thibodeau grabbed the tactical board and walked in front of the "Big Three", and then it was time for the second phase of his defensive plan.
"River Document" stood next to Thibodeau and listened carefully, at this moment, you can't even tell who is the head coach and who is the assistant coach.
Paul Pearce 19 points......
Ray Allen 11 points and Kevin Garnett 10 points......
Stan Van Gundy looked at the stats with a satisfied smile as well.
His plan is to let only one of the "Big Three" shine.
At the moment, the Magic team has done a great job.
Then, it's time to move on to the second stage......
Stan Van Gundy also came up with his tactical board.
"Both!"
1:16 of the fourth quarter.
That's pretty much the time for both sides to start in the playoffs.
It's clear that it's not just the Magic who are making this game like a playoff game.
And the Celts!
The first leg that came up belonged to the Celtics.
Rajon Rondo, who was holding the ball, searched and tried to rush twice, but finally gave the ball to Paul Pierce to solve the problem.
Thibodeau's eyes narrowed.
The other side seems to have used "pressing" to defend......
"Truth" did hit the ground tonight.
Turkoglu was already well defended, his whole body was close to the whole time, and finally put his hand in front of Pierce, but the ball still fell into the basket.
“fxxk!”
Tekoglu watched the ball go in and muttered.
It's scary enough.
Paul Pierce saw his frustration, and the "repeater" style of trash talk came online again: "You can't guard me, you can't guard me, you can't guard me!" ”
Really say the important things three times......
It was the Magic's turn to attack.
When Li Wan arrived in the frontcourt, this time, it was Stan Van Gundy's turn to narrow his eyes......
Celtics' defensive routines......
It's actually a "pressing" defense!
In fact, the defensive thinking of the two managers is different.
Stan Van Gundy's purpose in strengthening the defensive confrontation is still to suppress the rest of the Celtics and continue to let Paul Pierce attack.
And Thibodeau's idea is to first limit Li Wan's singles, and then, by increasing the defensive intensity, to cut off the Magic's outside projection!
It's hard to do, but who made them Boston Celtics?
Thibodeau is very confident in the Celtics' defensive system he has built!
He believes that no team can survive the Celtics' defensive system this season. Including the Magic team is the same!
"Four-stard" huh?
Plug the barrel of your gun, I'll see how you shoot!
The Boston players didn't disappoint Thibodeau either, and after about two or three rounds of adaptation, the Celtics completely choked the projection "lifeline" of the Magic's Turkoglou and Lewis.
In about 3 minutes, only Raja Bell threw in a three-pointer.
But......
His three-point team alone is a drop in the bucket for the Magic.
The Magic team opened the score and was slowly pressed.
7 points!
5 points!
3 points!
Seeing that the score difference is getting closer and closer......
At this point, Howard stepped up and pushed past Perkins with a one-handed dunk to score his 17th point of the game.
It can be seen that Howard showed better form against the Celtics tonight.
Kevin Garnett teamed up with Perkins, and the impact he brought is still there.
However, compared to the first game of the season against the Celtics, it is obviously not as impactful.
This is the result of almost a season of special training!
This is perhaps the best news Stan Van Gundy has seen so far in the fourth quarter.
"Both!"
Thibodeau called a timeout for Rivers at this point.
"River Document" did not hesitate at all, and immediately raised his hand.
I don't know the degree of cooperation, and I thought that I skipped the "marionette" in the kimchi country.
The Celtics' reporters saw this scene, but they had their own understanding: Coach Rivers really didn't have a little frame and was very good at listening to the opinions of the assistant coaches......
Stan van Gundy, who is also a prominent representative of defensive coaching, probably knows the reason for Thibodeau's timeout at this time. - Next, it's definitely going to be a three-second bag for Howard, or a counter to attrition, squeezing him out of the basket.
This is the most common and most effective way to deal with an interior player like Howard who relies on talent to eat.
Frankly......
If Stan Van Gundy had been Thibodeau, he probably wouldn't have called this timeout.
In the Western Conference finals of the 05~06 playoffs, the Spurs vs. the Suns, the Suns' Xiaosi averaged 37 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in this round of the series, but the Suns were still eliminated by the Spurs 4-1.
In this series, Popovich allowed Smalls to score, severing the connection between Steve Nash and the rest of the team, turning "Kombat Whirlwind" into "Kombat Blocking."
The Suns are completely dancing "two-person turns".
The performance of Xiao Si in this round of the series also illustrates the embarrassment of the "pie-eating" interior on the offensive end, no matter how outstanding their performance is, there are too few of their scores that can affect the course of the game.
Howard is also in this problem.
But well......
Thibodeau's caution is a good thing for the Magic.
With the Celtics still need to cut off the two three-pointers of Turkoglou and Lewis, once they still need to target Howard, then Li Wan will inevitably have a chance to play alone.
At the critical moment of the game, it is time to show the cards.
"Give the ball to Lee!"
This is Stan Van Gundy's only set-up for the Magic on the offensive end.
Tyronn Lue has an expression I knew!
He's ready to try it out in the summer to see if he can become a teaching assistant seamlessly......
He felt that he had mastered the manager's strongest move!
The pause ended quickly.
The game resumes.
The Magic's defensive strategy remains the same, still defending others and letting Paul Pierce single.
Well......
To put it bluntly, Stan Van Gundy finalized the defensive strategy against the Celtics from the beginning of the game, and what he wanted in his heart was to let Li Wan and Paul Pierce score points at the critical moment when the bayonets were red......
If Stan Van Gundy had spoken this idea, many experts would probably have thought he was crazy!
Although Paul Pierce has never sat in the first place in the league's small forward position, he is also a super scorer who has averaged more than 25 points per game in five seasons.
Before the "Big Three" was formed, he averaged 26.8 points per game in the 05~06 season. 06~07 season average 25 points per game......
When it comes to scoring, there are really few people in the league who can hold Paul Pierce down......
Li Wan......
Although he also averaged 23.4 points per game this season, the gap with Paul Pierce still seems a bit big, right?
But that's where Li Wan is in Stan Van Gundy's heart right now.
Having witnessed too many "miracles" about Li Wan, Stan Van Gundy now has the highest level of respect for Li Wan.
His most trusted scorer in key moments, the top three certainly has Leewan's name, but not Paul Pearce's name.
"Huh!"
Paul Pearce hit a three-pointer and Stan Van Gundy's thoughts were interrupted by a loud shout from the scene.
After this goal, the score of the two teams was tied.
The pressure has completely come to Li Wan......
Paul Pierce has clearly hit the hip!
Whether Li Wan can keep up with Paul's scoring rhythm will largely determine whether the Magic team can go to the end of this game!
Stan Van Gundy watched Lee Wan go to the front court and the opposite side gave him a chance to play singles.
I thoroughly understood Thibodeau's thoughts......
No wonder he didn't give Li Wan a chance to play singles before, and would rather empty other players than force Li Wan to give up singles.
Dare to love is to suppress Li Wan's state!
But!
Stan Van Gundy was still unfazed, and glanced at Thibodeau on the other side.
Seeing the latter's appearance of an old god, he put his eyes back on the field.
Li Wan held the ball to find the possibility of a breakthrough, and after a continuous pause in the rhythm, he once again "dribbled and jumped" to shoot.
I thought I had distanced myself from Rajan-Rondo.
Unexpectedly, it was about to close the ball in hand.
Rajan Rondo's "poker face" appeared in front of Li Wan again.
This guy actually followed!
This made Li Wan a little surprised......
Looking at Rajan-Rondo, who was getting closer and closer.
The movements in his hands were a little flustered, and Li Wan directly gave a "left hand to right hand", and rushed past Rondo with a ghostly expression on his face.
Perkins wanted to intercept it.
Lewan grabbed the ball with one hand and shoved it behind him, forcing him back behind Howard.
Taking a quick step, Li Wan completed the shot before Kevin Garnett could return to defense.
It's as if you're being handsome!
2 points scored!
"He's dribbling for a violation!"
Rajan Rondo yelled at the referee who had just stood behind Li Wan.
The referee glanced at his companion under the basket frame, and saw that he did not signal that Li Wan had fouled, and chose to ignore Rajon Rondo in front of him.
Rondo was anxious: "He really fouled, why don't you believe it!" ”
The referee didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
Believe you?
Are you Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant?
Rondo was very angry, watching Li Wan pass by with a smile and a grin, and he really wanted to give a punch.
Li Wan is also really angry, and he lightly dropped a sentence: "The referee is useless, otherwise, Lajan, you call the police!" ”
Rondo, who was originally dark-skinned, turned even darker with Li Wan's words......
Li Wan's goal is indeed a violation!
He gives the ball directly from his left hand to his right hand, without dribbling in the middle, and then dribbling, which belongs to the second dribble!
It's just that the No. 1 referee was standing behind Li Wan at that time and couldn't see it; The referee in the bottom corner is standing under the basket again, looking at the left and right sides of the court, plus being blocked by the back of Rajan Rondo, and he can't see it; Not to mention referee No. 3, he was not at the scene of the "accident".
Because Li Wan's whole movement was too smooth, the referees didn't notice anything unusual.
At this time, it is impossible for the referee to watch the video return defense because of Rajan Rondo's words.
If anyone could challenge it......
Don't fight that game, there's only a challenge left.
However, although Li Wan looked relaxed, he also shouted "lucky" in his heart.
Other than that......
His gaze was a little more solemn.
Since Rajon Rondo can keep up with his jumps, it shows that he does have some aspects of the ball holding pattern, which Rajon Rondo can see.
It seems that with his current ability, for the "best defensive formation" level, he can't do "one trick fresh, eat all over the sky", and he has to change more......
The difference opened up by 2 points again.
The Celtics fought back, and there was gradually more unified cheering on the scene.
There are more than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and every attack at this time is indeed critical!
Rajan Rondo's face was still unhappy and depressed, and the breakthrough was much bigger. But he forgot who he was up against, and Raja Bell wasn't used to him......
It's going to be fierce, isn't it?
Then be fierce!
He responded even more crudely.
aroused the anger in the heart of Rajan-Rondo, who was already unhappy, rushed to the basket, and secretly gave an elbow.
When the painful Raja Bell jumped up, he also unceremoniously pushed hard, and Rajan Rondo fell to the ground, rolled around by the way, and stood up again, his eyes were red, and he glanced bloodshot, and rushed towards Raja Bell.
Luckily, Kevin Garnett was next to him and pulled him down.
The referee also blew the whistle quickly and gave Raja Bale a foul for a malicious push.
Directly sentenced him out of the field......
I*!
Things happened suddenly, and they ended quickly, when Li Wan reacted......
Raja Bale has been sent off!
He subconsciously glanced at his badge wall......
"The Little Prince of Reverse Blues" badge......
It's not lit!
Shivering and cold, isn't this a sudden accident?
Li Wan was angry.
He felt it was a systemic bias.
Does my brother have to be beaten to be considered an accident?
Yes!
Li Wan looked up again at the defense on the big screen.
It was found that the whole conflict process was just Raga Bell pushing Rondo a little, and then it was over.
When Rondo rushed up to punch Raja Bell, Kevin Garnett stopped him.
Rondo's fist was already in swing and was only 20 centimeters away from Raja Bell.
Apparently......
The second stage of the "Little Prince of Reverse Melancholy" badge lit up, and it was only 20 centimeters short.
Can this "wolf king" pull the rack so fast?
Aren't you the toughest man?
Why don't you help your brother beat up Raga Bell!
Amid a cheer of excitement, Ray Allen executed a technical free throw.
His 95.2 percent shooting allowed him to score that point solidly.
And then they still have the ball......
The ball went to Rajon Rondo and the man who defended him was Michael Petrus.
He didn't play much in this game, and when he came up to face the intensity of Rajon Rondo, he was a little confused.
He forcibly pushed it open.
Rajan Rondo, who rushed into the inside, broke through with a fake fax shot, and after Howard, the last line of defense of the Magic team, did not dare to move, he immediately raised his hand and played a one-handed board......
As soon as the ball flew out of his hand, he stepped out of the way, and a figure flew out of his way, slamming the ball on the rebound.
This is the top hat that Rajon Rondo is familiar with!
But......
What's going on?
Isn't this game a game against the Cavaliers?
Li Wan: Hehe, who made me the 23rd!
Howard showed his maneuver and followed Lee Wan to hold his peged ball securely.
In the air, he subconsciously wanted to smash the basket, but fortunately remembered that it was his own basket.
Li Wan held the ball, barely paused, and rushed towards the Celtics' defense zone with the ball.
This momentum frightened the Celtics, who sped up their defense.
In addition to Rajan Rondo, there is also Levan.
Li Wan also determined one thing at this time, Rondo did find some kind of pattern, Li Wan's rhythm change, he couldn't effectively get rid of him at all, and finally turned around after a forced grab and wiped past him.
The margin is only 1 point ahead......
For the Magic team, Li Wan's offense is crucial.
Li Wan's choice......
Still singles!
Rajon Rondo became more and more confident the more he defended......
Lee Wan kept his face calm and somewhat passively dribbling the ball, and from time to time the ball protector blocked Rajan Rondo's hand that wanted to disrupt his dribble.
My mind was spinning fast, too.
With his current ability in all aspects, it is not difficult to master a new breakthrough skill with almost one and a half months left in the playoffs.
The question is how to move from mastery to mastery, which is the key.
Therefore, even if he learns a new move now, Li Wan does not dare to use it at the moment of life and death in the game.
Now, it's more realistic to be the most proficient at the moment "dribbling and jumping", plus some tricks......
"Dribbling behind the ball" is the limit for Crawford, and it is difficult for him to add some change of direction or misdirection. can be Li Wan's physical fitness, "dribbling and jumping behind the back" is not his limit.
Especially now that it is more mastered......
Li Wan thought about it sullenly, and suddenly a certain picture just now flashed in his mind.
This one......
Looks like you can give it a try!
Immediately, Li Wan changed his posture, and the whole dribbling rhythm became more aggressive.
Rajon Rondo undoubtedly has very good defensive conditions.
The height is considered high in the No. 1 position, which is comparable to the arm span of the front line, and there is a giant palm the size of the average No. 4 position.
It's hard not to be a good defender for someone like that.
Let alone......
He also has a brilliant brain.
Li Wan, who made up his mind, did not hesitate to dribble this time, took out a set of rhythm changes that he was most familiar with, pressed into the three-point line, and suddenly "dribbled and jumped behind his back......
Rajan-Rondo did not disappoint him a little, and followed closely, showing no signs of being out of position at all.
At this time, Li Wan held the ball with a stabbing step, forcing Rajan Rondo back, and at the same time, took a step back and made the appearance of shooting with the ball.
The sudden distance widened so that Rajan-Rondo had to lunge forward.
Li Wan saw that the left hand that was about to close the ball suddenly raised, and the right hand of the levitating ball swiped to the left side.
In a standard "worship Buddha" posture, after deceiving Rajan Rondo to get closer, Li Wan, who had accumulated strength early, held the ball in his left hand, forced the left side, rushed into the basket, and returned the ball to his right hand in the face of Kevin Garnett's supplementary defense!
At the same time, a slap skimmed Kevin Garnett's interference hand.
"Phew!"
One-handed snapping!
With a small body like Kevin Garnett, once the interference of the long arm is useless, the physical confrontation will not have much impact on Li Wan.
Playing with the body, it has to be Perkins next to him.
But his movement speed was too slow, and he didn't dare to empty too much space for Howard.
The difference is back to 3 points!
Li Wan clenched his fist fiercely.
He's excited!
All the way to this moment......
He really felt his growth completely!
You must know that at this time, he has four badges, the "Nerve Knife" badge has not been opened, and the second stage of "The Little Prince of Reverse Melancholy" has also not been opened.
This goal also has nothing to do with the "classical art of mid-pitching".
But he still scored under the defense of Rajon Rondo and the defense of Kevin Garnett, even if they certainly didn't work as hard as they did in last year's playoffs......
This is still something that was difficult for him to accomplish last season.
Stan Van Gundy's glowing lenses were uncontrollably satisfied.
He trusted Li Wan, and now Li Wan has also responded to his trust with his performance, which also proves that he is worthy of trust!
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bench on the other side again, and Thibodeau, who had just been strategizing, began to flip through the scouting report about Li Wan......
Thibodeau was really surprised......
As he recorded in his notebook in the first half, he thought that Li Wan was a good singles player and needed to be careful not to let him score in a row, otherwise there would be big trouble, but that was all.
But the current situation ......
He deliberately targeted Li Wan's singles, and in the time before the game, he never gave Li Wan a chance to play singles, he thought that such a targeting would make Li Wan suddenly need him to bear the pressure of singles at a critical moment, and there would be a slump, thus burying the team's victory.
This level of targeting is really ruthless for a second-year rookie.
Even if this person is Li Wan!
Of course, this was Thibodeau's previous thoughts, and now I watched Li Wan face Kevin Garnett's long-arm interference and score a dunk.
He knew that Li Wan's danger level was even higher than he imagined.
For him, he must definitely be taken care of at the All-Star level!
The game......
"Huh!"
On the court, Li Wan held Rajan Rondo's hand and completed a mid-range jumper again. - Uh, just now it almost relied on Li Wan's personal ability, and the badge bonus was very small, but this top shot was not only his personal ability, but the "Nerve Knife" badge also lit up!
Li Wan, who was watching back to the defense, made a "shhhhh
Thibodeau shook his head helplessly.
If you lose this game, it should be for the sake of this information......
Pay for it!
At the moment, Thibodeau is very happy, but fortunately this is the regular season......
On the big screen of the North Shore Garden, Li Wan made a "shhhh
Celtics fans, at this time, showed their stubbornness as a giant team, and in the face of Li Wan's provocation, they booed even more frantically.
Suddenly, a "boo storm" filled the entire stadium.
In the midst of this boo, the Magic happily walked away with victory.
107 to 99!
Li Wan played a full 37 minutes, shooting 12 of 21, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and 31 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Shooting 57.1% from the field!
Of course, this shooting percentage must have moisture.
Because in the first two quarters, he basically caught and shot to score.
With Li Wan's current ability, it is naturally very stable for him to eat "cakes".
But the media won't think so much, all they see is four words: Li Wan is awesome!
"Slashing 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Li Wan led the Magic team to successfully take revenge on the Celtics!" 》
"To Biao Paul Pearce, Li Wan has metamorphosed again? 》
"He's already a player at another level? Thibodeau: I must admit that I don't value him enough! 》
"Magic's revenge on the Celtics, this time they took the win away from the road! 》
……
Judging from the reactions of all parties after the game, the Magic team won this game against the Celtics, which had a deep impact!
The first is Li Wan's performance......
In last year's playoffs, including the first time he faced the Celtics this season, Li Wanke did not have such an efficiency, with a shooting rate of 57.1%!
Who is not confused about this?
Plus, the Magic didn't win on the Celtics' home court last season!
This......
They won!
Does this mean that their "fear of Kai" has disappeared?
No matter what it is, it has made the outside world's attention to the Magic team rise again.
The Los Angeles media rarely analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Magic team for the Celtics......
They......
I'm starting to panic!
Compared with seeing the Celtics again in the Finals, they don't want to see Li Wan and the Magic team......
After all, they and the Celtics are also old "dead rivals", and they have a record of playing each other, each with their own wins and losses.
But in case of losing to the Magic......
They can already imagine what kind of ridicule will be there outside!
"I yelled and sent people away for the championship, and I did win the championship, but I didn't expect people to come and snipe the next year!"
"It's very likely that the Lakers will send away n championships for the sake of one championship!"
"That's why we say be patient, right, Los Angeles!"
……
If Li Wan came to snipe at the age of 21, he would have succeeded!
Then the Lakers will definitely laugh out of their teeth!
Even if they send Li Wan away and get a championship, if Li Wan can get not one, not two, but three or four......
Then five or six years later, as Li Wan further achieves fame, and when it comes to this deal, the Lakers will definitely have a hat called "stupid" on their head!
If this player only played after leaving the Lakers, it would be better, because because of the situation at that time, no one knows what kind of future he has......
With the pinnacle Paul Gasol in front of you, who can not be tempted?
However, Li Wan has only played 2 months in his rookie season, and he has scored 52 points in a single game, which is only one day away from LeBron's youngest Mr. 52 points.
This kind of performance is equivalent to clearly marking the price there: Lao Tzu is the future of the alliance......
So......
After the Magic won this game against the Celtics, or on the road.
The Los Angeles media is in a hurry!
They would rather play the "Lake Kai War" 2.0 against the Celtics, and would rather see "23" vs "24" meet in the Finals......
They also don't want to see the Magic make it to the Finals.
That's definitely the most painful picture!
If you win the championship......
That picture is even more unthinkable!
On this day, Los Angeles has one more name: the City of Anxiety!
At the same time that they changed from the "City of Angels" to the "City of Anxiety", March arrived.
For magic?
?? It wasn't a good start to March......
They just finished beating the Celtics, and they immediately faced a "back-to-back".
After finishing their "back-to-back" with a 1-1 record, the league's test for them isn't over......
Then they rushed to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' schedule in March is simply heaven compared to them, with a three-game home game and a beautiful recuperation.
While people are sleepy and tired, they are sitting at home and ready for everything.
The game ended with the Cavaliers holding on to their home court 100-89 to complete their revenge.
The Magic team was out of whack.
Including Li Wan, he scored 17 points in this game.
Shooting less than 40 percent from the field......
In this season, Li Wan has shot less than 40% of the games in a single game, and so far, there may only be three or four games......
Probably for this reason, the sky in Los Angeles is bright again!
They joined the rest of the media in frantically promoting "23vs124......
If you want to describe it, then Los Angeles at this moment is like Lin Xian'er in "Xiao Li Flying Knife......
Anyone can ...... in the finals
Anyone can, but Li Wan, "Ah Fei", can't!
