Chapter 158: Strife at the End of the Season

The Lakers also had a game that night, and the Los Angeles media, who knew the news, told him the news of the Magic's loss to the Celtics as soon as they interviewed Kobe.

Kobe Bryant looked at the gloating expressions on his faces, and shook his head speechlessly.

He hadn't forgotten the pale expressions on the faces of these guys yesterday when they knew that the Magic had scored 69 points against the Hornets......

It was as if the sky was about to fall.

Why did the Magic lose to the Celtics in this game, and immediately it was like opening champagne directly?

"If the Lakers have to see who the opponent is to win the championship, it can only show that our own strength is insufficient......" Kobe Bryant swallowed his throat and said with a solemn expression, "No matter who the opponent is, I believe that the Lakers' defense of the title is unstoppable!" ”

Kobe Bryant's expression was calm, but the tone of his voice was resolute.

He's clearly confident......

He also has reason to be confident!

They won tonight's game and after winning this game, they sealed their 60th win of the season!

They are the first team in the league to do so this season!

This is a sign of their dominance this season......

When his teammates are no worse than others, Kobe Bryant is really not afraid of any opponent!

Moreover......

Li Wan is indeed good enough!

It can be said that he is the most powerful newcomer in the past decade......

And it's not just about the data......

If you talk about the data, LeBron, who averaged 27 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game in the second year, has risen much higher than him, and the data is much fiercer.

But if you look at the results of your team, then LeBron is far behind!

In '97, Tim Duncan, who led the Spurs to the championship in the second season of his career, was able to suppress Lee Wan in both statistics and team results.

Maybe that's why most of the league was messed up with Tim Duncan back then......

The current Wembanyama has caused at least seven or eight teams to be rotten, but if it is compared with the rotten atmosphere of the league in the 96~97 season, it is really a big deal!

Tim Duncan's dominance also proves that he deserves it......

Who can make a team competitive all the time?

Even LeBron, the "pride of the sky", has not made the playoffs in his career.

But Tim Duncan has never missed the playoffs in his entire career!

Li Wan's strong career start, in front of him, can be a draw, and even if he can't win the championship this season, Li Wan will be compared to Tim Duncan.

Of course, worse than Tim Duncan in his senior year, it's not a shameful thing......

After all, when Li Wan was his age, Tim Duncan was still thinking about how to deal with sharks in the sea in college!

However, strong is strong, as a person who has come over, Kobe really doesn't think that Li Wan can fight his way out of the encirclement from the East, even if he is, he will have a lot of headaches for the current Celtics and Cavaliers.

There's still a lot more for him to go through......

Moreover, even if he really met the Magic team in the finals, Kobe Bryant didn't mind sending Li Wan a period of growth!

The reporters in Los Angeles looked at Kobe Bryant's appearance and gradually felt at ease.

In fact, in their hearts, this year's O'Brien Cup has been engraved with the Lakers' name, and it is only temporarily stored in the president's office at the NBA headquarters in New York.

David Stern......

President of the Alliance??

no,no,no……

He's the one who looks at the trophy for the Lakers!

Occasionally, I have to take a rag to wipe the dust off it......

But anything, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!

If the Magic make it to the Finals, they have this in case...... Only if the Magic team can't make it to the finals, there is absolutely no such eventuality.

Dignified Los Angeles, "Purple and Gold Dynasty", can it be a rookie background board?

No, absolutely not!

The Los Angeles media really don't want to see that happen, and in that case, the New York bunch of lunatics will mock them for at least three months.

It's just that Kobe doesn't understand it, they can understand it, in Kobe's opinion, this is a typical "weak thinking", and hell if he can figure it out!

Other media outlets have also shifted their attitudes toward the Magic.

On the second day of the 69-point win over the Hornets, most of the headlines were:

"With a 69-point win over 7th in the West, this team is ready!"

"69 points to slaughter the Hornets, set a historical record, defend the champion, don't think you are stable!"

"What else is there to say, this is the best era for the Magic!"

……

Look at the momentum, it is really coming, and the wind belonging to Orlando will blow throughout the NBA league.

But after this game, the headline of the media became:

"A mountain that is difficult to climb, this season, is it still the Celtics vs Lakers?"

"The Magic lost to the Celtics again, and a problem was exposed in the fierce battle!"

"If we can't solve this problem, then the Magic will never be able to win the championship!"

……

Who would dare to believe that this is just the first time in one night, the media's evaluation of the same team!

And this is public opinion!

It is not static, but ever-changing.

Let's put it this way, if they win the championship this season, then Los Angeles' decision to trade Li Wan last year will be approved for nothing.

But if they lose this season and the Lakers win another championship next season, then trading Li Wan will be the right decision again......

If you want this matter to be finalized, it will take at least 5 years.

After comparing the number of championships of the Lakers in the past 5 years, as well as the growth rate of Li Wan and his achievements, whether the Lakers traded Li Wan was the right choice can discuss a result that will not be repeated.

The Magic continued their next schedule, and after losing to the Celtics, they quickly snapped a two-game winning streak, only to lose to the Atlanta Hawks on March 30......

The fourth in the East on this night was completely crazy, and all the people broke out.

One by one, the basket was as wide as the sea, and the shooting rate of the whole team was as high as 55%!

In the end, they scored 19 three-pointers to walk away from the Magic's home court.

Li Wan was also helpless after the game, when he saw Bibby hit two three-pointers in a row against his defense, he knew that tonight's game, unless Turkoglu broke his leg, or Howard just cracked, or he would definitely not win......

There are always two nights when the opponent will be unspeakable.

That's obviously the case with the Eagles tonight.

The next day, many media ridiculed: Li Wan, who has been "nerve knife" all day long, also let his opponent "nerve knife".

Li Wan said frankly: This feeling is really unpleasant...... However, it's cool to happen to someone else, I'll definitely return it, wait!

I don't know if this scared the Hawks, and in the next game, the Hawks shot 2 of 16 three-pointers......

The unexpected loss ended the Magic's March run with an 11-4 record.

It was also this defeat that they failed to get 60 wins at the end of March!

They currently have a 59-16 record.

At the same time, because of this defeat, the difference between their wins and Celtic came to 2.

With seven games left in the season, the Celtics, the No. 1 position in the East, are gradually seizing.

Although some are unwilling to be robbed of the first position. However, now that the chances of competing for first place in the East have become smaller, Stan Van Gundy has also adjusted his strategy and began to prepare for the playoffs.

April 1, the first day of April.

In the Magic's home game against the New York Knicks, Antonio = McDyes, who has barely played much this season, got nearly 20 minutes of playing time.

Lewis had to sit on the sidelines because of a sudden "arm discomfort" before this game.

In addition, the adjustment he made was the use of Michael Petrus......

In fact, since the previous win against the Boston-Celtics, Michael Petrus's playing time has been increasing.

It's also so that he can better adjust to the playoffs.

The Knicks currently sit second from bottom in the East and continue to have a bright future.

Speaking of which, Li Wan's birth gave the general managers of the entire league, especially the general managers who were in a mess, a basis.

09 is a draft year, so what's wrong with it?

Was Li Wan optimistic about it at that time?

Wasn't he also selected with the 19th pick in the first round?

If there can be a first time, there is a good chance that there will be a second time!

They......

Bet!

Since Kupchak was able to use the 19th pick in the first round to select Li Wan in the '07 draft, then we can draft the next Jordan, the next Li Wan, the next Kobe, and the next ...... in the draft

Who isn't a gambler anymore!

The Knicks saved the win for the future, so even though the Magic tweaked their roster and gave some players a chance to adapt, they beat New York 108-99 to claim their 60th win of the night.

At the same time as the final whistle blew, all the Orlandos in the audience stood up, and the entire arena resounded with a huge cheer.

The last time the Magic team won 60 wins in a single season was in the 94~95 season, and unconsciously, 13 years have passed. They've finally caught up with who they used to be!

However, the next day, the Orlan media did not make a big splash about the incident.

They are suppressing their feelings......

Waiting for an even more exciting moment to come.

This day did not keep them waiting long either.

On April 3, the Magic team took on the Toronto Dragons away team.

The Magic team knew what this game meant, so they played excitedly from the start.

Chris Bosh met Lewis again.

If he is gone, the Menglong team will also be gone......

So much so that the Magic team opened a 20-point gap at 6 minutes and 5 seconds in the third quarter of this game, and finally won 100-81, a 19-point victory!

Their tally for wins this season has officially reached 61......

This is the best record in the history of the Magic!

"61 wins broke the all-time record, this is the best era for the Magic!"

"Orlando has a new OK combination, this time, stronger!"

"After 13 years, the Magic team has set a new record in team history, and this time, we are going to take it one step closer!"

……

The next day's headlines were all about the Magic's breaking all-time record.

The whole of Orlando celebrated, and there was even a fan parade......

The more you play, the more you play, the fan square in front of Amway Arena resounded unanimously:

"Magic, champion!"

"Magic, champion!"

"Magic, champion!"

Although it is a bit of a shame, Orlando fans feel that God should understand why they are so excited!

That's 13 years!

The Magic continue their road trip.

On April 5, they came to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers.

With the Magic having little hope of regaining the top spot in the East, the Cavaliers are likely to be their opponents in the playoffs semifinals.

For this matchup, Stan Van Gundy takes it very seriously.

As a result, LeBron James only played the first half of this game, and did not play a minute in the second half, sitting on the bench and watching the Cavaliers lose to the Magic 88-99.

Mike Brown generously admitted after the game that they didn't want to expose too much for the sake of the upcoming playoffs.

When Li Wan heard this, he almost laughed out loud......

As for you, Mike Brown, what else can you have but a set of "give the ball to LeBron"?

To be reasonable, as far as the Cavaliers lineup is concerned, a change person, such as Popovich, can definitely play some tricks.

Mike Brown made them pawns in LeBron's system.

But......

With LeBron's ability now, it seems that he can only play in his comfort zone.

In 2011, he couldn't adapt to the team's adjustments, and his style of play changed.

Now that he is only 09 years old, he is naturally even worse.

Didn't you see that if you didn't get the ball later, it directly became "Zhan Yijie"?

In a situation where LeBron has to hold the ball......

It is also true that it is difficult for others to show all their abilities.

After the Magic won against the Cavaliers, the entire Eastern Conference standings suddenly became clear. Li Wan then also entered the team's rotation.

Kevin Durant did a big job during this period, scoring 50 points in a single game again, and he became the only player to score 50 points in a single game twice this season.

The other person is none other than LeBron James!

Kevin Durant's future suddenly became brighter.

The Oklahoma media shouted to Li Wan for him: "The battle for the best player in the 07 class is not over yet!" ”

The next day, Greg Auden slashed 35 plus 15 and also joined the "group chat".

The Portland media also said: "Yes, it's not over yet!"

On April 12, the Magic took on the Heat.

This is their fourth and final game of the season.

Stan Van Gundy waved his hand, and Howard and Lee Wan were both on the bench.

Cook was relieved when he learned the news, because on the Heat's side, Spoelstra also gave Wade a break. If the Magic team has a neat lineup, if it doesn't work, it will have to reproduce the "69" misery.

Cook watched that game, and just watching it in front of the TV, he could feel the depression on the Hornets' bench.

In "Rookie Pecking at Each Other", the game time ends.

The Magic narrowly defeated the Heat by 100-94, 6 points, and ended all the schedules of the 08~09 season with a victory on their home court.

Their record was also 64-18 at this moment......

Ranked second in the East.

This record is 5 more wins than the Magic team that originally didn't have Li Wan!

First place in the East belongs to the Celtics, who have a 65-17 record.

The loss in the Finals made the team even more hungry for a championship, and they had to win three more games than their contemporaries.

After strengthening this summer, it was favored by countless experts, and before the start of the new season, ESPN considered the Cavaliers to be the strongest team under the Lakers, with a final record of 63 wins and 19 losses!

Originally, they were the first in the league's regular season at this time.

66-16.

However, the "butterfly effect" formed by the arrival of Li Wan has made the Magic team stronger and made the Celtics more eager for championships.

The Cavaliers faced more headwind, so much so that they lost three more games than they would have otherwise.

This may seem like a low score, but in fact, the gold content is even higher.

You know, there are a total of 3 teams with 60 wins in the East this season!

In comparison, there is only one team in the West with 60 wins, and that is the Lakers......

66-16!

They won 1 more than their contemporaries.

There's nothing to say about it, even if you don't consider the butterfly effect, it's normal to win one more game, or lose one more game.

Do it all over again, and who can guarantee that every game will be the same as it was?

Li Wan has played a total of 77 games this season.

Didn't play the full 82 games......

He averaged 23.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block while shooting 47.2% from the field, 42.2% from three-point range and 88.8% from the free throw line.

Compared to his rookie season, he averaged 19.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks per game.

It's really an all-round transformation!

Of course, the increase in most of these data is inseparable from his better physical fitness.

For example, these 6.4 rebounds, which are 1/3 more than last season's him, is his rebounding awareness suddenly better?

No!

Li Wan's rebounding awareness has always been very good.

It's just that his eyes saw it, but his body couldn't keep up.

Again, steals and blocks are the same thing.

The same opportunity, put in front of him, now he can grasp most of them with his super physical fitness; And in the first grade, it is even possible to be used by opponents.

The increase in assists is on the one hand the increase in passing and control ability, and on the other hand, it is also related to the gradual increase in the number of games played by Li Wan, the accumulation of experience, and the enrichment.

As for scoring......

Li Wan dared to pat his chest and say, he was definitely delayed by the Magic team, if he was replaced by other teams, this season, he would average at least 26 plus per game!

But there are losses and gains......

Although he sacrificed some of his points, his efficiency increased significantly.

This is not only his own personal ability, but also has a lot to do with the containment of his teammates.

Can't always score less because of the hindrance of his teammates, and the high efficiency is purely Li Wan's own awesomeness, right?

Anyone who let him see the remarks of "Li Wan is awesome when he wins, and CBA who loses his teammates" under his Twitter, he will all "delete and ban" a set of "delete, ban".

Although some teams in the league will promote this path when promoting their own players, in Li Wan's view, anyone in any team complements each other.

Some people are All-Star when they are not teammates with you, they are three-team in the league; I became a teammate with you, and it turned out to be a CBA......

Doesn't that mean you don't have the ability to lead the team and make your teammates better?

Li Wan has always believed that he is a person who is awesome and can make his teammates more awesome!

Howard's final stats this season are fixed at 22.4 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 steal and 1.6 assists per game.

All the figures are an improvement over his original period.

In particular, the average points per game has risen by 2.4 points per game.

Li Wan: Look, that's what I'm talking about, make your teammates better!

He also became the final "rebounding king" and "blocking king" this season......

This is the first time in his career that he has won the "rebounding king" for a second consecutive year, and it is also the first time he has won the "blocking king......

Of course, as far as Li Wan knows, this season is the first time in Howard's career......

And many more!

As the curtain of the regular season fell, the list of matchups in the first round of the NBA 08~09 playoffs was officially released.

The Boston Celtics, who are the first in the East, will face the dilapidated "Motor City"!

Allen Iverson fights Ray Allen again.

As soon as this title came out, "memory killing" struck instantly.

The '01 playoffs were the year of Aaron Iverson's godhood.

And Ray Allen is a very bright stepping stone on his way to becoming a god.

Now the two meet again in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but unfortunately, the 76ers logo on Allen Iverson has become the Detroit Pistons.

Ray = Aaron is still so green.

It's just changed from Bucks Green to Celtic Green.

The Cavaliers, who are third in the East, will face the Heat, who are sixth in the East.

"03 infighting", LeBron vs Wade, is another round of the series that people are looking forward to.

The Hawks, who are fourth in the East, face the Bulls, who are fifth in the East, with Derrick Rose.

The "Civilian Five Eagles" encircled and suppressed the "Windy City Roses", and this round of the series was also exciting.

Compared with these three rounds, the first round of the Magic team this year still has no gimmicks.

Their opponents......

The seventh team in the East is the Philadelphia 76ers......

The composition of the squad has hardly changed from last year.

So much so that it is difficult to find something to talk about.

It can't be Louis Williams vs Jamal Crawford, right?

Luckily!

The Magic team has Li Wan, who is making trouble, and they believe that even if there is no gimmick now, there will definitely be at the press conference later.

Li Wan finished washing, sat down at the press conference, adjusted the microphone, and looked at the reporters on the field who were a little familiar but couldn't name them, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: Time flies really fast.

Before you know it, another season has passed......

The reporter's question is still those questions, whether they are satisfied with their own performance this season and the team's final results.

After Li Wan answered briefly, a reporter from ESPN stood up and said: "Lee, in the first round of the playoffs, you are going to meet the Philadelphia 76ers, for this series, I would like to know, what is the score you predicted?" ”

Li Wan only hesitated slightly, and then gave his answer:

'I thought it would be 4-0 but I respect their fighting spirit, so ...... It will probably take 5 games before we can tackle this opponent! ”

The reporters in the audience were stunned for a moment.

At first, Li Wan said that he respected the fighting spirit of the 76ers, and they thought it would be 4 to 2, or 4 to 3.

Outcome......

5 settlement battles?

Or is it just a possibility?

You call it "respect", right?

But after being stunned, their eyes were full of excitement.

Anyway, the goal was achieved, and they believed that when the Philadelphia 76ers guys found out the news, they would definitely be annoyed.

This round of the series......

Have fun watching!

At the same time, they admired Li Wan very much.

This kind of ability to break the opponent's defense in one sentence is really not available to ordinary people!

At the same time, Oklahoma, Kevin Durant, Westbrook and head coach Brooks are also sitting in a row, and they are also having a press conference.

It's just different from the Magic's press conference.

All their problems are related to the next season.

21-61.

This is the report card of the SuperSonics' first season after changing their name to the Thunder and relocating to Oklahoma.

It's not a bad question anymore, it's just rotting into a mess.

But Oklahoma's media were happy with the result.

This can allow the Thunder to select another player with a high pick to enter the Thunder team this summer and form the "Thunder Three Less".

Look at "Big Brother" Kevin Durant, who just finished his second season of career, averaging 26.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

The shooting percentages were 47.8 percent, 42.3 percent, and 86.3 percent.

Among them, the average points per game ranks fourth in the league, second only to Wade, LeBron, and Kobe......

Speaking of the 07th class, all the special mouths are full of Li Wan.

As everyone knows, above Li Wan, there are even more fierce firepower!

They believe that in time, Kevin Durant will prove who is the best man in the class of '07!

Kevin Durant......

That's what I thought too!

Especially on April 8, after he cut his second single game of the season with 50 pluses, this idea is even more certain.

Speaking to the media, he said excitedly: "It has not been a successful season, but I believe that we will have a bright future, and I believe in myself, my team-mates, and the management. ”

After saying this, he also turned his head to look at the "turtle" next to him, his eyes were full of love.

Don't think crooked!

It's the kind of love that a brother has for his brother......

His "second brother" is really fantastic, especially after entering 09, as he adapts more to this league, he plays better, and finally plays the whole season, his statistics are 15.8 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.3 steals per game!

Whether it's a score, an assist, or a steal, it's all in the top of the 08 class.

In terms of data alone, there is really not much gap between Derrick Rose, who was first in the first round, and Oj Mayo, who was third in the first round.

Kevin Durant feels that Russell is like himself last year, although he is not the final "best rookie", but in terms of performance, he is definitely the one who deserves this award.

With such a "second brother", why worry about the great cause!

He looked at Westbrook, and the media in the audience also looked at Westbrook at this time.

The future "Turtle" is now more adaptable to these magnesium lights, and in the face of everyone's eyes, he is not at all hesitant, and said: "This season is very new for me, I feel that I am adapting, so I have spent this season, I have not done my best in many aspects, I have a lot of things to improve, so ...... I'm looking forward to next season and I'll see more changes for everyone! ”

Who made me have no reliable "big brother"!

This was Westbrook's last sentence, silently uttered in his heart...... Judging from the two games between the Thunder and the Magic, his "big brother" really can't do it to Li Wan on the other side!

Rely on yourself for everything!

This "modesty" satisfied Kevin Durant, who was sitting next to him.

And voila!

And voila!

Look at my second brother's humble appearance!

Seriously, there were a lot of people, otherwise he would have to take a bite of Westbrook's face.

How to put it......

Every minute at the beginning is wonderful!

Kevin Durant probably didn't expect Westbrook to yell at him one day: "Don't talk to this damn nigga!" ”

Not to mention the reporters in Oklahoma off the stage.

They literally almost shouted: "Everyone in the alliance waits, in three years, the Son of Thunder will rule the entire alliance!" ”

Keep in mind that Kevin Durant and Westbrook aren't all the Thunder have......

The Thunder also have a high pick this summer!

Since general manager Sam Presti has succeeded in scratching the lottery twice, it is not difficult to bring another super talent to Oklahoma City, right?

In case you get a "champion lottery", choose Griffin, the "pride of the sky" of the University of Oklahoma......

omg!

Oklahoma reporters are thrilled just to think about it......

"If this year's rookie of the year wasn't OJ Mayo, I would think it's really unfair, he's definitely the best rookie of the year, anyone who has watched him play will be convinced of it!"

Memphis, Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace is actively canvassing for his "baby Gada" to be named "Rookie of the Year."

Throughout the season, OJ Mayo, known as the "combination of Jordan and Kobe", averaged 18.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1 steal per game......

His points per game average is the highest of any rookie in the entire class of '08!

Seriously, the data really doesn't pull the crotch, and it's worthy of the braggadocio of those experts before the draft.

So, Chris Wallace was boastful, and OJ Mayo, who was sitting next to him, was also smug. I couldn't help but nod slightly: That's right, that's right, Chris Wallace is right!

I'm the most different fireworks in the '08 session!

"Best Rookie", who else is me!

Chris Wallace apparently didn't know there was such a saying:

The result of spoiling a child is to kill the child......

Mike Conley in the locker room couldn't have looked so happy.

He had just finished an interview with only two or three reporters surrounding him. - OJ Mayo's outstanding play made his No. 4 pick in the first round last year a little wildflower that no one cares about in Memphis.

However, he really couldn't be unconvinced.

Compared to OJ Mayo, who handed over 18.5 points, 3.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in his rookie season.

Mike Conley, who entered the second season of his career, averaged 11 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Among them, the average points per game increased by 0.6 points, the average assists per game increased by 0.1, and the average steals per game increased by 0.2.

Progress cannot be said to be none, only that it is not obvious......

If it is said to be "turtle speed", it may be an insult to "turtle speed"!

With his rate of progress, I don't know if he will be able to play the statistics of the OJ-Mayo rookie season at the end of his career.

Some were born in Rome, and some were cattle and horses all the time.

Mike Conley, who comes from a sports family, feels inferior for the first time......

Or maybe it's not the first time I've felt this way......

At the end of this season, Li Wan averaged 23.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game.

Greg Oden, averaging 18.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, is also a significant increase compared to last season;

Cook, like him, is only a turtle speed, currently averaging 9.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per game......

But the question is......

Cook's team status is there, it's a substitute, he can say he's not playing time, what can Conley say?

The most important ......

The Magic are currently second in the East and the Trail Blazers are third in the West......

Even the Heat are fifth in the East......

- Mike, are you going to see the playoffs?

- Mike, are you going to see the playoffs?

- Mike, are you going to see the playoffs?

Looking at this uniform text message format, Mike Conley suddenly felt that Memphis was so cold this winter, much colder than when he came last year!

He really didn't expect that the "Ohio Four Little Ones" would be the first to fall behind!

That's why I'm unhappy, right?

Mike Conley suddenly figured it out......

He was more afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up with his former college teammates than he was to OJ Mayo's brilliance.

In particular, he was the second person under Greg back then.

We'll see!

I'll definitely catch up next season!

The depression on Mike Conley's face faded away, replaced by a drive of energy.

He decided that from tomorrow onwards, he would enter the special training.

And he thought about it, he wanted to find a senior who was similar to his physical fitness and height in all aspects, and study hard. - As for who to find, he already has a goal, and asked his father to help contact him.

As the children of a sports family, the most important thing their family lacks is the network of people in the sports industry.

It's just that although Mike Conley in the past has an introverted personality, he is also arrogant and doesn't think that he will be worse than players of the same type.

But now, the blow of two consecutive seasons, and the speed at which the rest of Ohio are moving forward, caused a sense of crisis that made him decide to let go of this pride ......

The phone opened, and inside was a message from his father.

The number is in front and the name of the contact person is in the back......

It's none other than Tim Hardaway, the "bug" who will be retired by the Heat at the beginning of the new season next year!

As the originator of the NBA's crotch change, Tim Hardaway is only 1.83 meters tall, but he averaged 23.1 points per game when he was at his peak!

And the ability to score is exactly what Conley lacks now......

The next morning, when Li Wan woke up, he glanced at the news on the Internet.

It's hilarious.

In particular, the discussion about "Best Rookie" is more intense than imagined!

At this stage of the season, the probability of the rookies on the shortlist winning the "Rookie of the Year" is actually quite clear.

It's just that something else is involved in this controversy......

The Chicago media saw Chris Wallace's remarks at the press conference and unceremoniously shot back: "Best Rookie belongs to OJ Mayo? Honestly, when the Bulls make the playoffs, the discussion about that is over! ”

The Memphis media is not without a lie: "Really? Then you should really look at the original Carmelo Anthony! ”

In the beginning, it was just the Chicago media fighting Memphis.

But when the Memphis media mentioned Carmelo Anthony back then, the Cleveland media were undecided...... What is it about LeBron that you are fighting for?

The Denver media responded aggressively like a hornet that was stabbed and flew out of a hornet's nest: "No matter how many years have passed, there will still be media reporters who remember the best rookie when Carmelo Anthony was hacked!" ”

I don't blame them for being so angry, at that time, Carmelo Anthony's statistics were not bad at all compared to LeBron, not to mention the record, the Cavaliers did not make the playoffs in the East, while the Nuggets at that time made the playoffs in the West.

Originally, the Denver media thought that no matter what, Anthony could share the "best rookie".

But the last ......

Defeated!

The reason why Carmelo Anthony's performance in the second season has not advanced and regressed, whoever is targeted by the league will feel unhappy and a little discouraged, right?

Fortunately, now, our "Guagua" has survived!

Take a look at the Nuggets' standings this season!

Second in the West, pressing the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Rockets and other strong teams under him!

They waited for 5 years, and finally waited for the "melon ripe and falling"......

"But what the alliance owes Cameron, what do you pay!"

The Denver media was so excited, and the Cleveland media didn't budge.

This came and went, and the people and horses of the Quartet fought together.

Tearing that called a fierce one.

"yes, yes, why isn't the best rookie with the highest score?"

"When is the best rookie going to look at the team's record, isn't it always based on data?"

"I think the league should pay attention to this, it's not anyone, it's all in the league when you enter the league!"

"I've always felt that last season's rookie of the year should have belonged to Kevin Durant, Lee has so many good teammates, what does Kevin have? Kevin only has himself! ”

In a room in Oklahoma, there was the sound of a crackling keyboard.

Kevin Durant, who has been on vacation, looks at this topic as if he has taken a stimulant. Switched seven or eight trumpets to speak for OJ-Mayo, and "by the way" to speak for himself.

It was also this farce that caused everyone to focus on the final result of this year's "Best Rookie".

They all want to know who will win the final "Best Rookie" by OJ Mayo, who has the highest scoring average on the rookie list, and Derrick Rose, who has more comprehensive statistics and a better team record!

April 14th.

On the second day after the end of the regular season of the 08~09 season, the long-awaited league official issued an announcement announcing the final result: Derrick Rose became the "Rookie of the Season" in the 08~09 season!

His election sent the Denver press to their feet and loudly questioned the official: "So, where the hell did Carmelo Anthony lose?" ”

Naturally, the alliance will not issue a special notice for some old things.

And, as the final results came out, the eyes of attention also dispersed.

All they care about is a few bowls of "noodles", as for whether the final result makes people feel wronged......

As long as they weren't wronged, it didn't matter at all!

It was also at this time that the Philadelphia 76ers' response to Li Wan's words came into the eyes of the outside world.

Andre Miller bluntly said: "Obviously Lee doesn't really understand what our fighting spirit looks like, otherwise, he would never say such big things!" ”

This reply is obviously strongly targeted, and it also makes this round of the series a little more interesting and aggressive.

It's just that the Philadelphia media are a little disappointed......

The 76ers players they expect to stand up for in response to Lee Wan are not Andre Miller, but another Andre - Andre Yoongodara!

After all, it was for him that the Philadelphia 76ers decided to send Allen Iverson away.

Now, three seasons later, the transformation they were expecting from Yoongodala has still not happened......

In their questioning, Yoongodala finally said: "We will prove that the 76ers are not as weak as he thinks......"

The Philadelphia media was speechless for a while.

Is this called a response?

You worship him directly!

Forget it, don't reply in the future!

It was also at this time that they finally thought of a possibility: Yoongodala's personality may not be suitable to be the boss of the team, or maybe Allen Iverson should have been kept as the boss in the first place......

Finally......

The 08~09 season playoffs kicked off.

The opener is here on April 15th!

The four matchups on the first day of the playoffs are......

East: Celtics vs. Pistons;

Cavaliers vs. Heat;

West: Nuggets vs. Hornets;

Spurs vs Rockets;
