Chapter 186: It's up to who's going to fire the first shot!
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Dwight!"
"Dwight!"
"Dwight!"
"Rashad!"
"Rashad!"
"Rashad!"
……
The scene continued to echo with the shouts of unity, from Lewan to Howard to Lewis.
It seems that they will not stop until the names of the Magic players are shouted one by one.
So excited, it's conceivable that tonight in Orlando will have a sleepless night. However, it is also conceivable that the patrolmen have a busy time.
American fans are restless, and that's not just a matter of yelling at two throats......
Li Wan high-fived and hugged his teammates one by one.
That includes Dwight Howard.
This time, he was able to sweep the Cavaliers neatly, and it is inseparable from this guy's cooperation.
Although I don't know what the future holds, at least at this moment, they are still partners in the same boat.
The Cavaliers players had already left the scene by this time.
When LeBron James walked out of the tunnel of the away team, he ignored all the reporters who wanted to interview him and went straight into the team's chartered car.
He needs to be quiet.
Everyone knew he needed to take a break.
In the past two years, he has had a difficult time.
It was supposed to be the most promising two years, but it was swept twice in a row by Li Wan and Howard. This kind of blow, no matter who it befalls on the head, is not something that can be digested so quickly.
Especially......
When you are full of ambition and think that you will definitely be able to pick the fruits of victory.
This feeling of frustration is doubly doubled!
So much so that he was stuffy at the moment, and he didn't know what to do next.
He thought of his high school basketball coach, Drew Joe, at this time. The latter started playing basketball and gave him a lot of experience in basketball and was his enlightenment teacher. LeBron has always believed that without Joe Yins, there would be no current self. Maybe......
His own enlightenment teacher will know what his next path should be.
took out his hand, but found that there was a text message sent to him by Qiao Yinsi lying inside:
- If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first. Don't be anxious, child, you are still on your way to success and can see it.
These words got LeBron James in thought......
At the same time, the media suddenly broke the news: Hornets owner George Sheen is officially considering peddling the team.
As one of the poorest owners in the NBA, George Sheen, in addition to the team, is worth 100 million.
Seeing the team's rapid rise and fall under the leadership of Chris Paul, he finally ran out of patience and chose to shoot the Hornets.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
First, David Stern called George Sheen and told him not to act impulsively. - He wasn't trying to keep George Sheen. In this business game, it's normal for someone to be out, but for someone new to the table, Stern has to know who he is. Avoid having a strong or ulterior motive to join in, and play this hard-to-build "game".
Then it was Chris Paul who secretly clenched his "cannon fist" and officially submitted a "trade request" to the New Orleans Hornets. ….
The news that the Cavaliers were "Black Eight" was intertwined with these two news, which immediately caused a storm.
The next day, there was a sharp increase in media coverage.
The "melon-eating masses" also did not stop talking, and one after another flowed out of the trail.
But even with so much news, the fact that LeBron James was "Black Eight" still occupied the biggest headlines.
ESPN posted: "LeBron nemesis? Li Wan and Howard have swept the 'Little Emperor' for two consecutive years,
!」
"The Bleachers" bluntly said: "Maybe we overestimate LeBron James's current ability!"
"***" joked as always: "I don't know if Cleveland will be able to break their crownless curse in another 50 years!"
……
was swept by Li Wan and Howard twice in a row, and this time, as the only team in the league with a record of 60 plus, it was even "Black Eight".
Doubts about him suddenly became louder.
But at this time......
Cleveland reported a bad news! - The Youmamen incident, it's coming.
Reports reported that Cavaliers player Delonte West had an affair with LeBron James's mother, and the East Window incident caused LeBron to be unable to turn his mind on the court.
Then came a wave of follow-up reports.
The voice of public opinion questioning LeBron instantly rotated 180 degrees, and all began to sympathize with LeBron's experience. thinks that he is excusable for losing this time, and no matter what happens to anyone, it is impossible to have a good state.
Barkley fired directly at LeBron James' team: "This really sucks, you can't divert the public attention in this way, you used it once last year, didn't you?"
After losing to the Magic last year, there were reports that "LeBron James's right shoulder was affected by an injury and could not be lifted to complete the dunk at one point", and he also took the trouble to put a picture of a layup, with the text: "If it were a normal LeBron, he would definitely dunk this ball!"
"Everybody loses sometimes, it's normal, Michael couldn't beat the Celtics, he couldn't beat the Pistons, but there weren't so many reasons and excuses, no one was invincible, instead of doing that, it was better to find a way to improve his influence on the court, such as ...... Practice that damn shot!"
Outcome......
He was unanimously criticized.
Giegie has encountered this kind of thing now, why don't you let Giegie go!
Don't you have any compassion at all?
This matter has been boiling over for two days.
During this period, the Lakers easily eliminated the Thunder 4-0.
Kevin Durant averaged 35% shooting per game in this series, and Kobe Bryant tuned him.
Originally, he thought he was the "scoring champion" of the new department, even in the face of Kobe, there was a fight. Now after playing, I realize how wrong I am......
But think about it, this is the star I saw on TV since I was a child, and I can't beat it......
Seems normal, right?
Besides, the Thunder are the "youth army" and can make the playoffs in the second season of the relocation, which is very fast.
He is confident that neither the media nor Thunder fans will be disappointed this season.
The future is theirs!
Kobe didn't say this to him, he, said it himself! ….
It's just that at the post-game press conference, a sentence from a female reporter almost made Kevin Durant break the defense directly.
She said, "Do you think you're inferior to Li Wan!"
Also the eighth place to enter the playoffs.
The Magic swept the Cavaliers and completed the "Black Eight";
The Thunder were swept by the Lakers.
In addition to showing that "eighth" and "eighth" are also different, does it also show that Kevin Durant's ability to lead the team is not as good as Li Wan?
This is where this question arises.
Kevin Durant was in a hurry at the time, and took out his usual trumpet sharp thinking and tricky angle: "Although the Magic team is the eighth in the playoffs in the East, they are the defending champions in the end, they have some problems, solve these problems, and get back to their original form, isn't this result normal?"
"Aside from the records of the two teams, isn't this the same as last year, both sweeps?"
Not a little bit of progress!
Like us, we didn't make the playoffs last year, but this year we did!
What does this mean?
It means that I am the one who leads the team with better results!
Li Wan has never proven himself in a rebuilding team!
Although Kevin Durant did not directly shout out this sentence in his heart, he still vaguely pointed out that the situation between him and Li Wan, as well as the situation of the two teams, cannot be confused......
It turns out that even journalists can't be opponents in the face of the brave and combative "keyboard warriors".
Kevin Durant's call left the female reporter speechless and sat down with a sneer.
"Xiao Shuai" was interested, and looked around, as if asking:
Still! Yes! Who!
The 09~10 season belonging to the Thunder team has come to an end.
In the following days, several other sets of duels were also resolved.
Wade watched the Celtics' big three hug each other, walked lonely to the visiting team's locker room, and just entered the players' tunnel, he saw a swarm of reporters gathered around, and he instinctively felt annoyed.
Think about your age again.
Wade suddenly spoke, determined, "This will be the last time I will be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!"
Endlessly lead the team on their own, and then fall in the first round of the playoffs.
Not even a single person to speak.
"The Flash" has had enough!
Even though Pat Lylie had a huge success in his third year of career, he reached the limit of his patience.
This is his contract year.
There are also n big fish waiting in the free market in the summer.
He wanted Pat Lyley to think he was "pushing the palace".
He is indeed "forcing the palace".
But there is no way, from the summer of '06 to the present, he is like Pat Lyley's mistress, chasing him every day and asking "when will you get a divorce, stay with me", Pat Lyley says "right away" every time, but does not act. He didn't want to wait any longer, he was 28 years old, and if he waited any longer, he would immediately be "old and decrepit". As far as the status of "mistress" is concerned, "old age and decay" means that he will soon have no bargaining chips to "force the palace".
So......
Now for the showdown, old scumbag!
This time, you don't want to mess around with "right away" again!
As the league's "second scoring guard" at the moment, Wade's words detonated the entire media the next day. ….
Kenny Smith was very surprised, in his memory, this was the first time Wade stood up and directly singled out his attitude.
First Chris Paul, then Wade......
Barkley laughed, "This summer is really worth a big job!"
In addition to Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh can all jump out of their contracts and become completely free agents.
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in the second order......
Also this summer, the contract expires.
While Paul Pearce certainly won't leave, Ray Allen ......
If the Celtics can't win the championship this time, it's not for sure......
In short, it can be said that it is a "gathering of big names".
In fact, it can be seen from here why these stars, including Wade, are so restless.
I missed such a great opportunity this summer, but I don't know when it will be available!
With so many surprises one after another, it seems that there are no more "Best General Manager" and "Best Head Coach" announced by the NBA next.
The "Best General Manager" goes to John Hammond of the Bucks; "Best Head Coach" belongs to Thunder Brooks.
The two teams have one thing in common.
That's ......
The team is rebuilding, but it has reached the final playoffs.
The day after the two awards were announced, the Magic also welcomed their second opponent in the playoffs, the Chicago Bulls.
This year's Chicago Bulls are the same as last year's Chicago
The Gagos Bulls are no different.
Derrick Rose averaged 20.4 points per game this season and officially entered the ranks of "All-Star" scorers.
But compared to last year, the improvement is not so great.
The same goes for other young people, like Noa......
He's just like Mike Conley last year, you can't say he hasn't improved, but the extent of that improvement, it's limited.
The Magic easily defeated the team 4-1 to reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the third year in a row.
After five games, Li Wan averaged 25.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, shooting 48.7% from the field, 40.2% from three-point range, and 84.5% from the free throw line......
Absolutely supergiant!
Howard's performance was not bad, averaging 18.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game while shooting 55.2% from the field......
During this time, Howard also won the "Best Defensive Player Award" for the second consecutive year that he has won this award.
After becoming Big Ben, he is another player to win the award in a row.
Achieving this achievement, on the NBA's all-time presidential hill, Howard can actually plant the flag!
But he wasn't happy.
Because everybody is talking......
Lee Wan is one step closer to winning the second Finals MVP trophy of his career......
He is already regarded as the second leader of the team......
You say, can he be in a good mood?
However, he still has a chance to prove himself.
Eastern Conference Finals ......
It's his chance to counterattack!
The league then announced the best team for the 2009~2010 season.
Howard was re-elected as "One Burst One Defense."
Other members of the "best team" are: Kobe, LeBron, Kevin Durant and ......
Li Wan!
Yes......
Li Wan also entered a burst this time. ….
Relying on the performance of the "180 Club", he squeezed out Wade, the original member of the first group.
For the first time in his career, he entered the "best team".
For this result, Li Wan was actually not so surprised.
It would be strange if his regular season averages didn't make it to the "first burst".
If the "180 Club" was really so easy to enter, it wouldn't have so many members now.
But what he didn't expect was ......
Not only did he get into the "best team", but he also got the "best defensive team"!
As early as January this year, the media found that Li Wan has improved a lot in terms of opposition defense this season, and the final data performance of almost every player who is opposite him is inferior to the season average.
At that time, Li Wan knew that he could enter the "Best Defensive" team this season.
But even then, he just thought he would be in the "best defensive second team".
Behind him stood a Defensive Player of the Season winner. Even Li Wan has to admit that his defensive effect is so good, and it is inseparable from Howard's defense.
Unexpectedly, he still entered the "best defensive team".
It seems that his influence in the alliance has indeed reached a certain level now......
Sometimes it's like that, even if your ability doesn't reach a certain height, as long as the league and the media think you can do it, you can squeeze out others and get this award or a certain position.
Right......
And who!
In this way, it is equivalent to the Magic team having two "double teams"!
Orlando Multimedia farts flip through history and find that Orlando has made history again!
This is the first time in the history of the NBA that there are two "double teams" in the same season and the same team.
Hi Da Pu Ben!
It is worth mentioning that Oden also entered the "best second team" this time.
This is due to the withering of talent at the No. 5 position, and it also has a lot to do with the excellent record of the Trail Blazers.
At the end of the season, the Trail Blazers finished second in the West, and have eliminated the Spurs and are in a fierce battle with the Suns. And after 5 games, they are now leading 3-2.
[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @
Okay, I didn't give up......
The Lakers fell in the second round.
The news caused a stir the next day.
Boy!
It was only last year that one tore the script.
This year, one is not enough, and here comes another!
You have to think that my book is not good, please say it early!
David Stern really didn't expect that even if LeBron is unreliable, why is it that even your "black mamba" is unreliable?
However, Nowitzki's "tearing the script" made him realize one thing:
Greatly, times have changed!
Don't "23" vs "24", it's spring when a hundred flowers bloom!
He immediately realized that if Nowitzki really climbed up from the trough, wouldn't this be the best illustration of the NBA's "never give up"?
And......
This is a real "one person, one city"!
Really......
No matter how good the script is, it can't compare to what happens in life.
The bloody things can't be compared, and the bloody things can't be compared.
The Los Angeles media is heartbroken.
In addition to scolding Bynum, their eyes looked at Orlando in unison:
Li Lang, it has been several years since February 08, and the sun is still blazing in Los Angeles, I don't know how Orlando is. I remember you very much, and when I see your prestige outside, I am very happy, and my heart is relieved. However, in the eventful autumn of the Lakers, recalling the transactions of the year, I often sigh and regret to myself, if my brother is still here, why bother Mamba alone. ….
For fear that Li Wan wouldn't understand, they also came to a simplified version:
Every year when the Lakers lose, I always think of someone who used to like me and I like him too......
The Orlando media saw that Los Angeles was scolding Kupchak there and regretting the original deal, and immediately gloated: Very well, reward a jar of "drunken life and dream death"!
May 15th.
The league announced this year's "Regular Season MVP".
Actually, there is not much suspense......
When the Cavaliers led the league with 61 wins, it already meant that the man's name had been written on this year's regular season MVP trophy:
LeBron James!
It's just that Cleveland people were looking forward to this day.
Right now......
It's a little embarrassing.
LeBron James didn't expect that the first regular season MVP of his career would be won under such circumstances.
Speaking of which, he did get a little bit out of the situation every time.
Especially in the championship thing......
There was always a bit of skepticism.
With the announcement of the final prize, the four spots in the East and West finals also have a final list.
East: Magic vs. Celtics;
West: Trail Blazers vs. Mavericks;
Before the start of this season, except for the Magic team, I am afraid that no one would have thought that these three teams would go to the Eastern and Western finals.
Whereas......
Even if it was the Magic team, no one would have thought that they would actually reach the Eastern Conference Finals in such a form.
To sum up the season in one sentence, it is:
Tear the script, tear the script, or tear the script......
Yes!
The script is torn again!
The Magic swept the Cavaliers before and quickly eliminated the Bulls with a score of 4-1, and in the eyes of most of the media, this team has regained its previous form and will become the most favorable contender for the championship this season!
After all, it's two "double arrays......
Outcome......
The Celtics settled the Magic with ease 4-2.
The reason is very simple, three words:
Howard!
Again, this one was taken out
His "unparalleled" singles skills under the basket.
What's even more infuriating than before is ......
I don't know if it's because I've seen Kobe's shortness, the more critical this thing is, the more you have to hold the ball and play alone.
No matter how you command, it's useless.
Determined to be the most beautiful cub in the team.
The Celtics were originally the team to reach the Finals this season, and the Magic didn't have much of an advantage over them. Every game is in between millimeters.
Howard looked like he was just holding the ball seven or eight times.
However, it is particularly deadly.
Artest was stunned several times.
Every time he "woke up" and saw that Howard was holding the ball again, he was dizzy again......
Li Wan averaged 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 9 assists per game, and still could only watch the team lose Game 6 of the series.
What makes Li Wanhu the most is ......
Howard actually ran to comfort him for the first time, saying something "This season's regrets, we will make up for it next season, believe me, Lee, I will not let you down next season!"
Next season?
Still coming?
Li Wan didn't even bother to squeeze a smile. ….
Walk straight to the locker room.
The reporters on the side followed one by one, ready to grab the most advantageous position when Li Wan stopped.
As a result, the crew of the Magic team came up and stopped them.
Li Wan entered the locker room to find his mobile phone and sent a text message to Taryn as soon as possible:
- Man, get ready to apply for a trade, we've got to get started in the next two days.
Taryn quickly replied to the text message, saying that he would do it immediately!
After explaining this matter, Li Wan's whole expression eased a lot.
It's just that he went out of the locker room door again, but he heard the reporter on the side say to him, "Oh no, Artest and Howard are in trouble in front of the media!"
Ha?
As soon as Li Wan heard this, he hurriedly ran towards the "eucalyptus scene".
Sure enough, I saw two groups of people moving in different directions.
It should be separated.
At first, he didn't know who these two groups were.
But soon Artest's swearing voice came from the left side: "You damn fellow, listen, you'll never reach the heights you thought you were, Shaq was right, you're on a level off them!"
Li Wan also learned the cause and effect from the reporter next to him at this time.
It turned out that when Howard was interviewed, a reporter asked: "In this round of the series, you have significantly more singles with the ball at key moments, but the efficiency is not ideal, do you think this is a good choice?"
Howard replied confidently, "You don't think it's a good choice, it's just because I didn't go any further, once I scored these goals, there were no more doubts, and I'm sure next season, you'll see my improvement in this area, and we'll be back in ......the Finals and win the championship."
In the end, he even shook his head.
It seems like it's really next season, and he's already holding the championship trophy at the moment, and ...... The MVP trophy of the finals is up.
At this time, Atai happened to be passing by, and when he heard this, he immediately became angry, and shouted directly at him: "If it weren't for you, we would have won the championship this season, do we have to wait for next season?" I know very well that you just don't want to see Li Wan win the MVP of the Finals, so that others will think that this team is Li Wan's!"
This struck Howard's mind, and he jumped to his feet as if he had stepped on a cat's tail.
The two of them just got into a fight.
Fortunately, the on-site staff separated the two people in time.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as spraying.
I'm afraid I'm really going to do it!
Losing the Eastern Conference Finals is the first big fight, which is rare in the development of the NBA for decades, right?
But now
, even if it is not done, the bad effects have already been done.
To be sure, next season this team will either have no Artest or no Howard.
Just the importance of two people in the team.
The team is self-explanatory......
But it just so happened that Li Wan also had a reason to leave.
First of all, Artest's words have almost made the "boss dispute" between him and Howard clear.
The media are not fools.
In fact, there has been media analysis before that Howard has such a large number of balls under the basket this season just to increase his presence on the offensive end, so that his influence on the Magic team can surpass Li Wan. ….
It's just that Li Wan, as a party concerned, has not expressed his position.
In addition, Artest only bombarded Howard for playing selfishly in front of the media at that time, and did not put this matter on the bright side.
Now it's different.
Artest's words tonight can be regarded as clarifying the "boss dispute" between Li Wan and Howard.
What will follow is endless media suspicion or speculation.
The "boss battle" of many teams has intensified, and these suspicions and speculations have contributed to this.
It's entirely fair to say ......
At this point, unless Li Wan or Howard publicly states that the other party is the boss of the team.
Otherwise, it's not over!
But the question is......
Artest has already accused Howard, not once, but now twice.
At this time, Li Wan suddenly said something "Howard is the boss of this team", isn't that equivalent to backstabbing Artest?
If the boss of any team has such a situation, it is destined to be difficult to have teammates who will stand up for him. It's the human sophistication of the locker room.
Therefore, at this time, Li Wan and Artest are equivalent to standing in the same boat.
If the team trades him, Li Wan must stop it!
In this way, it is the second time that it has interfered with the trade of the Magic team management.
With the arrogance of the management of the Magic team......
Even if he is Li Wan, I'm afraid it will be impossible to endure it anymore, right?
Unless, of course, Magic management decisively drops Howard and trades him away. Then Li Wan has no reason to leave.
After all, the team has traded Howard away for you, how determined you are!
If you're gone, no team will want to put you at the core!
Things are interlocking, and now ......
It's up to who's going to fire the first shot!.
Ruthless love for the common people
