Chapter 202: On the night of 83 minutes, the chain reaction is coming!
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
The 20,000 New York fans at Madison Square Square stood up as soon as the fourth quarter began, cheering for Leewan's historic moment.
It's sad to say.
The arena is known as the "mecca of basketball".
I have witnessed miracles again and again.
But in so many miracles, 99% of the "miracles" were created by players from the opposing team.
New Yorkers, in line with the principle of "fairness, justice and openness," cheered for these "miracles."
But......
Even Knicks fans who are as thick-skinned as the city wall and have no honor or disgrace at all, whenever they witness these "miracles", why don't they want the players who play these "miracles" to wear ......
It's a Knicks jersey!
But there is no way, there are only so many stars in the history of the Knicks.
The most important thing is that the "miracles" played by these people are not at the same level as those played by the rest of the league in Madison Square at the same time.
People pose on the top of the mountain, and the "miracles" of the New York Knicks are, at best, to see the scenery halfway up the mountain......
However, the bitterness is sweet!
After half a century of waiting, the New York Knicks "The New King Arrived", and at the same time brought a performance that went beyond the "miracle".
At 7 minutes and 15 seconds in the fourth quarter, Li Wan's single-game score in this game had reached 78 points.
is still 3 points away from Kobe's 81 points......
Seriously, if it weren't for the fear of getting in the way, they would have liked to watch the rest of this game on their knees.
Although the game is not over yet, this night, there is no doubt, will be Li Wan's "night of the gods".
They felt that just standing and watching was no longer enough to express their admiration for Li Wan!
Li Wan carried the ball forward amid the cheers of the audience.
Off the court, Rivers had already sat on the bench with his head in his hands, his head buried in his knees.
It's rotten......
On the field, the eyes of the Celtics were fixed on Li Wan's body, adjusting their positions as he moved.
Li Wan looked at the group of people opposite with blazing eyes.
He could see the panic in the eyes of the gang.
And he felt like he had entered a whole new state......
It's like, every time he makes a shot, he will definitely be able to hit......
He remembered that Michael Jordan seemed to say that it was called ...... Zone Mode!
Well......
"Kuroko's Basketball" is a documentary, and it has once again got a real hammer.
Although he has logged in to the account of the "God of Basketball" several times, this is the first time Li Wan has really entered this field.
Perhaps only by achieving this realization can it be the real "peerless" mode, right?
Paul Pierce stopped at him.
Behind him......
Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett are on standby, ready to pack and force Lee Wan to pass.
Not coming up directly to wrap the clip is the last bottom line of the Boston giants.
No one can make the Celtics completely abandon the defensive formation and desperately pack the box!
Including tonight's Li Wan.
Even if he had formed such a threat, they would not do it!
As Levan got closer, Paul Pierce involuntarily took half a step back, while holding his throat in his throat.
The Adam's apple kept rolling up and down, as if his heart was beating at the moment:
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crazy Pounding ......
Since picking up basketball at the age of 5, Paul Pearce has never been so flustered......
Well......
Also......
He has never been scored so many points on top of his head!
"Whoa—"
The sneakers rubbed against the floor, making a screeching sound that drowned out the cheers of the audience, but Paul Pearce could hear it clearly, his body moving closely, only to see Li Wan suddenly "dribble from behind" and give the ball to the other hand.
Continue to change direction very fluently......
The "ho-ho" on Paul Pearce's lips is getting louder and louder.
The feet follow the movement.
saw that Li Wan's body suddenly stopped.
Subconsciously stopped.
watched Li Wan pull the ball back to ......
Sam Gold!
Paul Pierce sat on the ground as if a tall building had collapsed after the ball.
Looking up, Li Wan, who shook him away, looked down from top to bottom, and suddenly gave him a strong sense of oppression......
Li Wan did not break through directly, but retreated to the outside of the three-point line, and before Rajon Rondo pounced, he made a three-point shot and hit the ball steadily.
3 points scored!
81 points......
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
The shouts of the New York fans sprinted through the arena.
Li Wan used this season's signature "let the opponent sit down and watch" style singles to tie Kobe's 81 points that year!
"***, this kid ......"
David Stern watched Li Wan score this game, and it was also rare that he couldn't control his emotions and cursed.
At this moment, the NBA president who has become international and the shopping mall is really happy like a little old lady who has never seen the world.
However, Le Guile, the next second, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made several calls in a row.
Looking at his serious appearance, it seems as if there is a big battle waiting for him to start......
If you roughly divide the development of the NBA, there are about two periods, one is before David Stern became president, and the other is after David Stern became president.
And after Stern took over the alliance, there were only a few opportunities for the development of the alliance.
The most recent one was in the summer of '07......
Kobe Bryant's "Dragon Slaying Night" grabbed all the traffic in the divisional semifinals of the football league. Let the NBA get more attention from the whole world.
The slogan "Where Miracles Are Born" was also launched that summer.
After that, the NBA was on the fast track, and the impact of Michael Jordan's retirement gradually faded.
The 11-year "collective bargaining agreement" is just around the corner, and LeBron James's "decision one" has greatly displeased many owners of small ball cities, and the league shutdown is almost a certainty.
For his part, David Stern doesn't want the league to shut down for too long......
He's been figuring out how to do it lately......
Li Wan's "night of becoming a god" came at the right time!
At this moment, David Stern seems to have a pager in his hand:
Attention from all sides, attention from all sides, the alliance has officially entered the state of "red temperature alert"!
The Coalition Patriarch is thinking about the future of the entire Alliance. On the side of Boston, when Angie, the "little parent" of the Celtics, saw Li Wan shaking the sky again and shaking Paul Pierce to the ground, he immediately took out a few documents from the file bag next to him and began to seriously think about the future of this team......
He didn't have to wait any longer, and he could already conclude that the Celtic gang could still help the "Green Army" at the moment......
Trade yourself for the future of Boston!
The first thing he had to understand was......
What are the good assets of the rest of the league right now.
There's a saying:
To make a trade, first you have to use your imagination.
Looking forward to picking and searching, how to do this transaction?
Anyway, at the end of the day, there must be fools coming in......
I really can't help it......
Angie's eyes fell on the Nets.
Looking at the names above, his eyes lit up with a "huh".
The Nets have rebuilt well, a room full of talent!
"Ahh
Billy King, who was far away in New Jersey, sneezed at the same time and shook for no apparent reason.
He felt that there were Diao people who wanted to harm him!
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
The cheers from the audience continued.
The next historic moment continues to come.
At 10:15 of the fourth quarter, Li Wan dodged Kevin Garnett's long arm and spun the ball into the basket.
This goal was scored, and Li Wan's score in this game came to 83 points!
The difference between the two teams has also come to almost 20 points.
D'Antoni called a timeout as soon as Celtic counter-attacked.
Let Li Wan enjoy the moment that belongs to him.
The New York fans in the stadium looked more than just excited......
Some are insane; Some swayed their bodies wildly; Others, shouting and shouting, began to cry, and the more they cried, the more they cried, and finally evolved into a howling and crying.
Madness has always been a label on New York fans, but tonight's New York fans exposed another side of them:
What a temperament!
They can not only cheer for the team, they can not only boo the team, they can also show their feelings......
Just first, you have to know where their g-spot is!
Originally, I thought they didn't have a g-spot, but now it seems that ......
It had to be Li Wan's "Kato Hawk's Hand" to touch that G-spot.
No, I'm crying tonight!
Li Wan walked down the field, and cameras followed him at the scene, surrounding him 360 degrees.
From now on, any frame of his action may become a "classic picture" in the NBA in the future.
There was a sudden accident on the sidelines, and in the sideline seat where Li Wan was passing, Spike Lee suddenly got up and bowed down to Li Wan.
The appearance was so pious that Li Wan was embarrassed to dodge the ......
But what he didn't expect was ......
Under the leadership of the great director of Hollywood, a group of fans knelt down in the audience......
Crazy cheers, coupled with "devout believers".
How could the reporters on the sidelines miss such a good picture, and recorded one photo after another from the right angle.
"Damn, brother, you're too sloppy, aren't you?"
Artest came running, shook his hand and shook it, followed by an excited bear hug.
Da Yao also ran over and patted him on the shoulder.
He's looking stupid tonight anyway......
The timeout was quickly lost, and D'Antoni glanced at Li Wan and asked, "Are you still fighting?" ”
Li Wan looked at the time, there was still more than 1 minute.
At the end of the game, it is certain that the side effects of "opening and hanging" made him collapse in his seat, but he is in good shape now, and if he continues to fight, he can still grit his teeth and hold on.
But he waved his hand at D'Antoni: "Forget it! ”
The point difference has come to almost 20 points, plus it has broken Kobe's 81 points, and playing again is nothing more than to score three or four more points. Since he can't break Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game, he really has no reason to play again.
D'Antoni was not surprised, calling on Nate Robinson and putting on a "back three" lineup to play the next 1 minute or so.
The minds of the fans at the scene were still on Li Wan.
Especially the group of fans who relied on the Knicks bench, one by one, tried to get closer to Li Wan, posing excitedly and taking selfies.
Some people who are anxious have already turned on their mobile phones to surf the Internet, wanting to see the evaluation of Li Wan's "Battle of the Gods" on the Internet.
And the most tormenting thing at the moment......
It has to be the Celtics.
When the whistle blows, which symbolizes the end of the game.
They left Madison Square without looking back.
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, in particular, are ahead of everyone......
The entire Celtics became Levan's backdrop.
Among them, the two of them are the worst!
In this game, Pierce was the one who defended the main game, and Garnett was the one who helped defend.
Thinking about the Rose who was the main defense of Kobe Bryant back then, he was still the "Michigan Five Tigers", and after the game, he became the "81-point background board" that everyone laughed at, and Matt Bonner, who assisted in the defense, had an additional nickname of "Red Mamba......
Now it's their turn......
As two people with bigger names, I don't know how to be complained about by the outside world!
When Paul Pierce collided with Rivers, he almost fell to his knees crying: "Coach, I don't want to play basketball ......"
Kevin Garnett, on the other hand, thinks about his age, 35 years old......
Or, retire on the spot, right?
Rivers' expression wasn't very good-looking......
The team ended up losing by 16 points......
For teams that have lost to the Knicks this season, the difference is not particularly large.
But it's not a matter of losing a few points at this time, Li Wan scored 83 points......
On his head is a big word "danger"!
"We've been working hard in this game, but everyone knows that a player like Li Wan will have such a night, and it will be completely his...... Tonight is one such night! ”
But even in this case, Rivers did not forget to praise Li Wan after the game.
It's not that I mean to be generous.
But......
As the head coach, you don't know when Li Wan will become a soldier in his hands!
Well......
It's just that while he fantasizes about coaching Li Wan, Anji sent him a message:
- A sad news......
Rivers didn't finish the rest of the content, and just closed it. Tucking his phone back into his trouser pocket, he calmly looked at the Celtics players in the car with their heads down.
Say goodbye in silence.
He knew that someone would have to pay for tonight.
He's the one who pays for it.
But when he thought that on the playing field, these people were rushed to pieces by Li Wan, Rivers knew that his departure was just the beginning!
Boston's "Big Three" era headed for disintegration in the first season of Ray Allen's departure.
- Lei ...... Much more important than any of us thought!
This is the last message Rivers sent to Angie before getting on the plane. He knew that this passage would not save anything. After getting off the plane, he still had to pack his luggage, but this sentence came out with feelings, and he didn't hold it in his stomach.
Originally, he was going to tell the gang in front of him.
The contradictions in the locker room he was not unclear, but just pretended not to know.
But looking at this group of frustrated men, I am afraid that if this sentence angers a few of them, then he is in danger......
The underrated Ray Allen looked at Li Wan, first high-fived, then hugged again.
Before the game, he expressed his attitude to Li Wan:
No matter what, he wants to win this game!
As a result, they won!
It doesn't have anything to do with him, though......
But just watching Li Wan "chopping melons and vegetables" on the field, his heart was really excited:
It's enjoyable, it's enjoyable!
Refreshing!
It's really cool!
Watching Li Wan soar from the first quarter to the last quarter, making Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce doubt their lives, this scene is really a 40-degree high temperature in the summer, and a glass of ice Coke is directly refreshing......
The host on the sidelines waited for Li Wan to hug his teammates, then walked to the side with a smile and congratulated: "This is an incredible night, Li, even if it has happened at this moment, I still can't believe that you will do such a thing, you just scored 52 points......"
Li Wan smiled: "Maybe it's those 52 points that make me find ...... feeling"
His expression was calm.
After all, during the team's training game yesterday, he knew that he would be able to register as the "God of Basketball" in tonight's game against the Celtics.
Coupled with the fact that the Celtics lost Ray Allen and traded Perkins, the chemistry of the entire roster was completely destroyed, and in terms of their ability, they are actually eighth or ninth in the East, or even less.
It's destined to be an incredible night!
It's just that he didn't expect that on such an incredible night, he would finally score 83 points!
broke Bryant's single-game record of 81 points......
His first reaction was:
It's going to be a big profit again!
Miami.
The Heat's home game against the Los Angeles Clippers is over.
Relying on Wade's stunner, the Heat struggled to hold on to their home court.
LeBron James's "big triple-double" of 35 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and in the end, Wade's shot was LeBron's pass!
It was also this pass that gave LeBron his 10th assist.
As soon as he hit the shot, LeBron James rushed up and hugged Wade excitedly.
Worthy of my good "Pippen"!
Then he ran to say hello to Griffin.
The Heat have now climbed to third place in the East, although there is a huge gap between them and the Knicks and Bulls. But in terms of record, the Clippers can't match them at all.
The main reason why this game was so difficult to play was Griffin's body.
"'09 Champion" wanted to do something bad on the inside tonight, Chris Bosh didn't have a temper in the face of him, allowing him to get a luxurious "double-double" of 28 points and 12 rebounds, plus Jordan Jr.'s 10 points and 12 rebounds, the Clippers were even the leading side for a while.
Fortunately, the outside of the Clippers is Mo Williams, who used to be LeBron's "old subordinate".
As if wanting to repay the "little emperor", he took him to the All-Star bench, and Mo Williams shot 0-of-7 from beyond the three-point line in this game.
Iron, all the "forehead lines" of Little Jordan have come out to "iron......
"Man, good job!"
LeBron James hugged Griffin and affirmed the latter's performance on the court. I couldn't help but hug little Jordan again.
I can't help but fantasize in my heart:
This sleeping dragon and phoenix chick, if you have one person, you can go to the world!
It's a pity......
I don't know if Chris Bosh can trade for Griffin or ......
Little Jordan is good!
The host on the sidelines waited quietly, and LeBron James made eye contact with her, thinking about the question this reporter might ask:
"What do you think of Griffin......
"How did you decide on the Heat's last offense? You're up to draw the defense and Dwynn to finish the offense? ”
……
He also replied in his heart, but the reporter's question was:
"The New York Knicks' home game against the Celtics is over, Levan scored 83 points, you ...... right"
"Much, how much?"
The host was still talking, but LeBron James was stunned and repeatedly confirmed that what the reporter said was indeed 83 points, not 38 points......
This...... How did the guy do it?
There are all kinds of turbulent waves in my heart, but the words I say are absolutely standard answers:
"He's such a player, seriously, you may not believe it, but I really think that Lee Wan will score at least 70 points in this game because he played really well in the last game against the Eagles, and I know it's not the end, it's the beginning...... Sure enough, he broke out and performed much better than I could have imagined! ”
Wade also knew the news, stared blankly at the reporter in front of him, and the first thing he said was the same as LeBron James: "Are you sure it's 83 points, not 38 points?" ”
When the reporter showed Wade the photo of Li Wan holding a "83" point blank paper, he was convinced that Li Wan really scored 83 points!
"Incredible, really incredible, what more can I say? It's an incredible guy......"
The tone muttered, he still needed a little time to digest it all.
He immediately thought of the "Kobe Bryant's 81-point dragon slaying night" in 06, and that night also made him feel incredible.
But......
And that's all!
Now hearing that Li Wan scored 83 points in a single game, in addition to being shocked and incredible, he also felt a strong pressure......
No way, no matter how strong Kobe Bryant was at that time, it wouldn't have much impact on him, and he could still say from the perspective of a bystander: Oh, brother!
You can even score a 9.
But right now, the New York Knicks are one of the Heat's biggest hypothetical enemies in the playoffs this season......
The Heat team can't win the championship this season, and they are destined to be scolded by 10,000 people!
If you can't make it to the finals......
Hiss!
Wade took a deep breath.
Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it!
The melancholy made his cheeks look even more swollen.
I would have known that I wouldn't have forced the "old man" so hard...
Los Angeles.
4 a.m.
Bryant woke up again.
He didn't sleep soundly that night.
Misty Lake woke up several times.
When he woke up this time, he didn't plan to sleep again.
Carefully getting up and covering Vanessa, who was still asleep, he quietly went out of the room.
took out his mobile phone and took a look, but saw a news pop up on the bay window of his mobile phone:
"With 83 points in a single game, Li Wan "fought as a god", attracting worship from New York fans! 》
Tong Kong shrank slightly.
Kobe Bryant wiped it, and the mobile phone screen, especially the "83 points" area, was wiped a few times.
After finally making sure that he was not mistaken, he searched the Internet for relevant news.
This is unsearchable, and Google pops up hundreds of thousands of related reports......
One of the photos stands out:
Li Wan shoots a three-pointer.
What stands out about this photo is the ......
The player defending Li Wan fell to the ground.
And this player who was shaken down......
Paul Pearce!
This guy ......
Kobe Bryant's mood suddenly became complicated......
He suddenly thought of the early morning before Levan left Los Angeles for Orlando. In fact, every time Li Wan shocked him, he always thought of that early morning. It's just another time.
At that time, he could feel Li Wan's ambition:
He doesn't want to be just a "Pippen", he wants to be Jordan!
Later he also proved himself.
In the second season of his career, he won the Finals MVP trophy in his 12th career season!
Now he is sweeping the league with the New York Knicks with a strong performance of "triple-doubles" per game......
Originally, Kobe Bryant thought that this should be Li Wan's temporary limit.
I didn't expect ......
This guy gave him a huge shock so quickly!
To be honest, this is the time when Pediatrics feels the pressure for the first time in a long time.
33 years old is actually not too old, after all, Michael Jordan started his second "triple championship" after this age.
What can Jordan do......
Kobe Bryant thinks he can do it too!
But the speed of Li Wan's rise is too terrifying......
After thinking about it, he called his agent: "Man, I've decided, buy me a helicopter!" ”
Los Angeles was so congested that he couldn't get up at 4 a.m. to go to the arena every day......
In order not to waste too much time on the road, Bryant has always had the idea of buying a helicopter.
It's just that I haven't made up my mind.
At present, Li Wan scored 83 points in a single game, which made him feel the ferocity of the "back wave".
He didn't want to retire with four championship rings, so he couldn't just watch Lee Wan leave him behind.
Although Kobe Bryant now feels that he is 1v1 heads-up, he can still win Li Wan......
But even the proud "Mamba Snake" has to admit it......
The gap is not big anymore!
After making the call, Bryant drove off to the Toyota Center.
The sky gradually brightens.
The media coverage continued overnight, and the next day it directly hit the entire American ......
Ninety percent of the reports you can see are talking about it.
The Ohio State Newspaper devoted two large pages to the incident.
At the same time, Li Wan received a call from the head coach of the university, who congratulated Li Wan and revealed a message to Li Wan: the school is considering making a personal bronze statue in front of the stadium!
This made Li Wan's eyes light up.
Whether it's in the NBA or in the NCAA, building a bronze statue is definitely the highest honor a player can achieve on his home team, and given the impact, it's a little more difficult to get such an honor in the NCAA.
After all, no matter what, a player can play NCAA for his alma mater for four years, and Li Wan, who has only played for a year, is actually the end of retiring his jersey.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
Levan is the exception, according to his college head coach: The Ohio State basketball team is not a giant in the NCAA. The championship they brought to this team was also the first NCAA championship in 50 years.
The school has also been lacking an Ohio celebrity who has an impact in the sports industry......
Fundamentals are the foundation of a school.
The more capable alumni there are, the stronger Ohio State's foundation will be.
In the sports industry, the rise of Li Wan has made the NBA feel incredible, and it has also made Ohio schools feel that Li Wan will become a cross-era NBA player.
I've been observing.
At the same time, he instructed the Ohio State Newspaper to enhance the influence of the Ohio State Newspaper in the coverage area for the four of them.
Li Wan's "83 minute night" made the school officially make up its mind to promote this matter.
However, for the time being, it is only a plan handed to the school board, and the specific needs to be taken slowly, and the coach revealed it to Li Wan, hoping that he will pay more attention to this aspect......
Li Wan nodded and thanked the coach.
"Did the three of them call you?" Before hanging up, the coach asked again.
Li Wan deliberately sighed: "Coach, they are no longer the original simple them, and when they see the results of their alumni, they will only be jealous......"
"What?"
As soon as the coach heard this, he became angry at that time.
Don't know, Ohio Staters help Ohio Staters?
What the hell is there to engage in infighting here?
"Lee, wait for ......"
He'll have to talk to the other three about it.
Five minutes later, Lee Wan received his first call, from Mike Conley.
"Wow, Li, you don't do anything related to people!" Mike Conley really didn't expect that there would be such a brazen person in this world.
Last night, this product specially pulled a meeting video, which was half an hour.
During this time, they did not insert their mouths once.
It turns out to be jealousy, right?
"Wait, you'll have to diarrhea in the next game!" Auden also called afterwards and scolded "viciously".
Li Wan smiled "hehe": "I'm sorry, I'll rest next time...... 135 points in two games, Greg, you probably don't understand what it's like! ”
"All of them~"
……
ESPN organized a "roundtable" to discuss "what is the highest score in a single game of Li Wan's career......
83 points is scary, but as far as Li Wan's "January Law" is concerned, there may be a "90 points in a single game" next year, which is a very scary and bold idea.
But among the 7 experts, 4 experts actually believe that Li Wan's "highest score in a single game" is likely to continue to rise in the future.
The reason is very simple, this guy is only 22 years old, far from the age of the best physical fitness!
"Maybe it will break Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game!"
Because the person who said this was Bill Wharton, it surprised the outside world even more!
Barkley excitedly said he was right.
After all, it was before the start of this game that he said that Li Wan's madness must be more than 52 points, and the result is ......
Li Wan gave him an "83 points"......
This Nima!
Even if he had a hunch that Li Wan would play a crazier performance, he felt a little scary!
No, it's not a little, it's scary!
In addition, the "Cleveland Honest People" also carried out a large-page detailed report on the game, and at every turn, Li Wan called it "the pride of our Ohio state!" ”
While the Los Angeles media and Olam Multimedia reported on the incident in detail, they questioned the two general managers again:
Do you regret it?
Outside the Amway Arena, the parade was obviously much more spectacular, with at least 3,000 people marching in detail.
Howard drove to the team for training by himself, and looked at the Magic fans paraded on the road one by one, his face was a little bitter.
After the "Christmas War", the atmosphere at Amway Arena took a sharp turn for the worse, and if the team did not perform well and lost the game, there would be bursts of boos in the audience.
Looking at the current posture of the parade, I am afraid that the next days will be even more difficult.
Li Wan......
Another blow to him!
Howard rubbed his face for no apparent reason.
He felt......
It hurts!
At the same time, for the first time, such a thought arose in his heart:
It seems that Li Wan is indeed more suitable to lead the team than me......
He's the natural boss......
Is it?
Howard's brows furrowed, and his self-esteem turned this declarative sentence in his heart into a question!
He didn't accept that he lost to Li Wan like this......
Take it easy!
Take it easy!
I'm definitely the best fit for Orlando!
If Orlando is restless right now, Boston is a complete mess.
The arrogant Bostonians felt humiliated in this game.
The "Green Army" has never been so cowardly!
"Is this still the Green Army?"
"Boston needs cardinals!"
"It's time to rebuild, Rivers get out of class!"
These are the banners that appeared at the entrance of the North Shore Gardens Arena early the next morning.
The management was quick to respond to the extreme thoughts of these fans:
Rivers, class is out!
……
And these reports are just the beginning.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, David Stern was interviewed about Li Wan's 83 points in a single game: "When a player completes such a performance, then what is there to say, the league is about to enter a new era, this is beyond doubt!" ”
The meaning of this statement is simple and easy to understand:
Lee Wan will be one of the faces of the NBA in the next phase!
After Li Wan knew David Stern's statement, he was not very surprised.
Because the original David Stern also expressed a similar opinion after "Kobe Bryant's 81-point dragon slaughter night": If Kobe Bryant wants to move the Lakers to the East, we may agree, because as the representative of the NBA today, everything should be unfolded for him.
You must know that Kobe Bryant was a controversial negative figure at that time, and the controversy about the Eagle County incident was with him until Kobe Bryant won the Oscar.
In such a situation, Kobe Bryant, who scored 81 points, directly dispelled this concern and re-established his identity as the "face of the league".
Li Wan, an NBA player who has always had a positive image, scored "83 points in a single game", and it was not surprising for him to say such things in an interview.
But what he didn't know was that David Stern set off for Asia immediately after the interview.
Before the plane took off, his eyes were full of excitement......
The old "collective bargaining agreement" will officially expire on July 1.
However, the battle between labor and management had already begun at this time.
The specific situation is that the management has been "crying poor", and the labor side feels that these bosses are too greedy...... From the attitudes of both parties, it can be seen that the "collective bargaining agreement" is very likely to not be able to be successfully renewed after expiration, and it is even very likely to enter a long-term shutdown like in 98!
This is undoubtedly what he, the president of the alliance, does not want to see.
But in the current situation, it is useless to rely on him alone.
He had been troubled by this for a long time.
But after Li Wan's "god show", David Stern found a way to break the game. - Broadcast contract!
The NBA's broadcast partnership with ESPN is still three years away.
During this time, ESPN has not talked to them about the broadcast contract, and apparently wants to see the outcome of the "collective bargaining agreement......
If ESPN can be allowed to renew the contract at a high price in advance, everyone will have meat to eat, and the sharing problem will not be so tight!
Now what David Stern has to do is to get ESPN to come up with a high-priced broadcast contract extension.
His plan is also simple......
Go to a radio and television station in Asia and talk to them about the broadcast contract.
Get a high enough rebroadcast contract from them and send the message to ESPN.
As ESPN, which also wants to take the "globalization" route, if there is no NBA overseas exclusive broadcasting rights, it will inevitably affect their growth.
The media industry has seen further growth. During this time, whoever can get one step closer will be able to sit firmly on the "dragon head......
If during this period of time, there is no overseas exclusive broadcasting rights of the NBA, there will inevitably be a vacuum in the ESPN basketball sector...... You must know that although the NBA is still the third in the United States, it is a real boss in the world!
But the NBA will not be unable to continue to "globalize" because it has lost the ESPN channel.
To put it bluntly, after the opening of the Chinese market, the "internationalization" trend of the NBA has been unstoppable by the media.
The end result is ......
ESPN paid a sky-high price to renew the contract in advance, and driven by huge benefits, the labor and management quickly compromised, signed the contract, and entered the next 10 years......
Li Wan's 83 points......
It couldn't have come at a better time!
David Stern walked away.
With such a large amount of coverage, even some Americans who don't watch basketball will more or less hear similar words: 83 points, Huaxia, Li Wan, handsome guy, kneeling......
In fact, this night, like the "81 Dragon Slaying Night" that year, was a starry night.
The Spurs hit the Warriors with a 134-138 score. Stephen Curry made nine three-pointers on this night, setting a new record for the number of three-pointers he had just set new in a single game.
The Bulls scored 46 points against the disheartened Hornets, and the Hornets scored 58 points after the third quarter...... Derrick Rose scored a career-high 45 points in this game.
Plus LeBron James' "30-point triple-double......
But Li Wan's edge was too strong, covering the brilliance of these people.
The protagonist of the next day's report, except for Li Wan, is Li Wan!
Even the teams that had games that night, when they were interviewed, the reporters' questions were also related to Li Wan.
Tim Duncan said with a blank face: "At first I thought someone else
I got it wrong, I saw this news in some news overlay, and when I saw 83 points, I felt that something wasn't quite right, and I was very surprised, and I thought someone must have got the numbers wrong...... Until I saw the highlights of Li Wan in this game, I could only shake my head, God came to Madison last night, and the Celtics witnessed God's performance again! ”
In fact, his reaction was far less calm than what he said now.
His first reaction at the time was......
Guffaw!
can finally let the outside world forget his troubles of being deducted twice by Li Wan in a game!
Kevin Garnett is really ......
What a brother!
He called Kevin Garnett right then.
After a lot of comfort, Kevin Garnett was almost moved to tears in his comforting voice.
If he hadn't held back his laughter, he would have been better friends with Kevin Garnett.
It's a pity that I didn't hold back......
Call again, people's phones are turned off!
Well......
Tim Duncan feels that Kevin Garnett is shutting down, not blocking him.
Popovich said in an interview: "Even if Jesus comes to defend Levan tonight, there will be problems!" ”
