Chapter 206: After tonight, he will become famous
The interview continued, and the reporters chatted and talked about the Knicks' opponents in the first round of the playoffs:
Indiana Pacers.
They are the final eighth place in the East this season.
As a team in the midst of a rebuild, the attitude of the Indiana media is clear that they are happy with the results of this season.
For the New York Knicks, their opponent in the first round, they also put their posture very low:
Learning-oriented!
Li Wan didn't say anything cruel.
Originally, compared to the other three groups in the east:
The Bulls play the Nets; The Heat play the Atlanta Hawks; Magic play Philadelphia 76ers......
The suspense of this group is also minimal.
Even the outside world agrees that the Pacers can win one game and drag the series to Game 5 is considered a success.
Of course, although this is the case, before the playoffs started, the state of the entire Knicks on the training court was very serious, and they did not careless because the opponent lacked strength on paper.
What's more, Li Wan knows very well that this Pacers team is notoriously tough and difficult, and even the "Big Three" of the Heat team took a lot of effort to defeat this team.
Not to be underestimated!
The "Best Rookie Award" in the 10~11 season came out on the second day after the end of the regular season, and there was no suspense, John Wall, who averaged 17.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game, successfully won the award with overwhelming votes.
This is the second season in a row that the "champion" of the year has won this award......
And this record will not be broken until 2013!
That year, Lillard defeated Anthony Davis, the No. 1 pick in the first round, with the 6th pick in the first round, and became the eventual "Rookie of the Year."
In terms of growth rate, it is true that outside players are a bit faster than inside players.
This is especially true in the era of small balls......
Since '07, only two interior players have won the "Rookie of the Year" award, one is Griffin and the other is Downs, and the rest of the years, the "Rookie of the Year" is an outside player......
The Washington media was so excited that they even cued Kwame Brown in an article: "This time we finally picked the real champion!" ”
We have been waiting for this day for 10 years!
Do you know how we spent the last 10 years?
Kwame Brown was speechless: I didn't expect that there was a "team bully" in the team, which would affect people's psychological state so much!
If I had met Li Wan first, I wouldn't have knocked the head of the "big shark" crooked!
John Wall, who won this award, was also relieved, and his rookie season ended perfectly, and he was ready to go fishing......
On April 16, Taylor's world tour finally arrived in China.
The itinerary was quite rushed, but Taylor still met with Li's father and Li's mother, and took a group photo and sent it to Li Wan.
At that time, he was also going to make a video call to Li Wan, but Li Wan was training at the time and did not receive it.
The performance in the domestic station was very successful, and Taylor was also a little surprised, she didn't expect her popularity in China to be so high.
There's a reason for that.
After talking to Li Wan for so many years, in addition to her own popularity, she has long been able to say simple everyday words such as "hello" and "thank you". At the concert, there was a "hello", which fan didn't get lost when he heard it?
I'm afraid that those fans who were originally passers-by fans can become "pure fans" after a concert......
On April 18, the third day of the regular season, the long-awaited playoffs kicked off.
The first game of the series between the New York Knicks and the Pacers will start today.
Li Wan glanced at the newspaper, and the team that fired the first shot of the playoffs with them, as well as the Magic, who were fourth in the East, played the Philadelphia 76ers, who were fifth in the East; And on the West side, the Lakers, who are third in the West, play the Denver Nuggets, who are sixth in the West!
The '09 Western Conference Finals opponents met in the first round of the playoffs this year......
In addition, there is another round of matchups on the Western side: the second-place Mavericks play the seventh-place Suns.
Phoenix brought in Leewan's former teammate Jamal Crawford to fill the bench in the middle of the season.
In this way, the team's firepower is even more ferocious, and it also makes the Suns, who should have been ninth in the West, enter the playoffs as seventh in the West this time.
It's just that their opponent is really hard to play, last season's champion Dallas Mavericks!
Another year of the "Niuyang" war, and the DNA of many fans is ready to move......
Li Wan took a look at the analysis of the "brick family", except for the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers round series, the other three groups of matchups, including the New York Knicks and Pacers, everyone thought that the higher ranked side won.
No way, the Pacers, Suns and Nuggets......
The names of these three teams alone have already been decided, and they will at best make it to the first round of the playoffs......
There really can't be any miracles!
The Philadelphia 76ers have their own advantages and disadvantages against the Magic, mainly depending on which side will play to their strengths and avoid their shortcomings, and the balance of victory will most likely be tilted to that side.
Howard was furious when he saw these reports......
Why are they all smooth sailing, "above and below", but in my case, it is possible to be "below and above"?
"The No. 1 center in the league" is not dominant at all in your eyes!
Wait to be slapped in the face!
The Magic will easily upset the Philadelphia 76ers......
Easier than any of them!
At 6 p.m., Madison Garden Plaza was dark and crowded, all New Yorkers who were there to cheer on the Knicks.
They wore white support uniforms issued by the Knicks management.
Looking at it from a distance, the white color is connected to form a "whirlpool", and in the center of the "whirlpool", the Pacers players are on the court to warm up.
The noise of the scene gradually became unified, into one wave after another, uniform boos.
The game hasn't started yet, but the faces of many New York fans are already excited, even frenzied!
It's no wonder that since the first year of Marbury, the "son of New York" who returned to the Knicks from the Suns in the 03~04 season, led the team back to the playoffs, the team has never made the playoffs.
It's been 6 years!
Now, they can finally shout:
Playoffs, New York is back!
At the same time, they can also shout with more confidence: We are not coming back to prove how great we are, but to prove that what we have lost, New York will definitely get back!
They are confident that this time they will be able to do what they say they will do......
Because this time, they are not back to the playoffs on the "last train", but the first in the league, tying the NBA's best regular season record of 72-10, and returning to this stage!
The "newcomers" after the reconstruction of the New York Knicks are really very different from the previous "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks"!
So......
When Li Wan brought this "new New Yorker" into the scene, the cheers of the audience were deafening, which perfectly explained why everyone was fighting for "home field advantage"!
Playing in such an atmosphere, who is not excited!
And away players, especially teams like the Pacers who are inexperienced and need to pay tuition, in such an environment, there will inevitably be some psychological ups and downs, which are beyond human control.
Didn't you look at all of them with a little big eyes and little eyes, haven't you seen the world come out?
Lance Stephenson is still looking around in a very relaxed manner, feeling the atmosphere of the playoffs.
Install the latest version. 】
It's not just because he has a bad brain and a long reflex arc, but also because of ......
He's on the inactive list!
For the first two seasons of his career, Stephenson was always on the bench, and it was only at the beginning of the third season of his career that he applied his "neurosis" to the game, and many famous scenes were born at one point......
The big screen quickly gave the starting lineups of both sides.
The Knicks didn't make any changes:
Li Wan in the first position, Ray Allen in the second position, Artest in the third position, Lewis in the fourth position, and Yao Ming in the fifth position;
The starting lineup for the Pacers is:
Darren Collison at No. 1, Dundee Jones at No. 2, Danny Granger at No. 3, Taylor Hansblu at No. 4, Royin Hibbert at No. 5;
There is a big difference between the Pacers and the Knicks.
But even so, the media had to find some gimmick.
For example, Luo Yin-Hibbert, known as "Black Yao Ming", paired with "Genuine Da Yao", which is a major highlight of this round of the series.
Like Da Yao, Hibbert is not much of an athlete.
He completely relied on his height and arm length to play on the court.
In terms of arm length, it's really ......
It's not Yao Ming!
After jumping the ball, Da Yao shouted "tomatoes":
With such a long arm, you call yourself "Hei Yao Ming", right?
Why don't you call yourself "Hands-on version of Yao Ming"?
"Cult Believer" Collison held the ball over half the court and faced Li Wan.
This guy is also a talent.
Quasi-all-star level strength, 30 years old, received tens of millions of offer contracts, and said that if you don't fight, you won't play. The reason is that the "cult" he believes in believes that men should no longer be busy with their careers after the age of 30......
And there are many such "cults......
Especially in the black neighborhood, all kinds of "power of faith" are rampant, even these NBA stars are inevitable!
As a more traditional No. 1 position, Collisson's style is to share possession.
He's not a sticky player.
It's just that the Knicks' defensive strategy for tonight is simple:
Li Wan is one-on-one marking.
Resolutely do not wrap up!
Collison soon noticed this as well, and suddenly made a stop-and-go throw in the middle of the move.
When Li Wan stretched out his hand, the ball had already flown by.
Limited interference.
But Collison was afraid of Li Wan's height, so this ball was shot very quickly, and he shook it like a "hot hand", and immediately withdrew his hand.
It's too difficult to shoot too quickly.
The basket is scrambled together.
Hansbrough, who beat Michael Jordan to become the "No. 1 player in North Carolina history", protected the rebound.
But when he made a move, Li Wan rushed over and slapped the ball behind him.
As a "blue-collar No. 4 position", Hansbrough's style of play is simply "Big White Bear".
His positive attitude allowed him to secure a starting position in the team's No.4 position late in the season.
But his limited talent also makes him always deflated on the offensive end.
The moment the ball reached Li Wan's hand, the New York Knicks quickly counterattacked.
Li Wan did not wait for Da Yao, but broke into the enemy camp single-handedly.
The first three players of the Pacers to return to the defense contracted the formation, he quickly raised his hand, only a slight shake, obviously a forward hand, but the ball was a "turning ball" with an arc, bypassing Jones, who was coming over to make up the defense, and accurately fell into the hands of Ray Allen, who was in position outside the three-point line.
Basketball version of "Full Moon Scimitar"!
This must be a stunt that can only be learned after playing ball for many years and playing it handy.
Li Wan played ball, and he was stunned to play big for Taylor, not to mention this little trick!
At the moment, with this passing skill, it is even more so:
Without him, only the hand is familiar!
With a knife in hand, Ray Allen, who officially became the "player with the most three-point hits in history" on January 24 this year, successfully hit another three-pointer for him.
And now, he's hitting the playoff record......
3-0!
Mike Brown kept shouting from the sidelines: "Back to the defense, back to the defense!" ”
As an assistant coach of the Spurs, he also emphasizes the motivation of his players.
Two months after he came to the Knicks, he did instill his own defensive philosophy into the team.
Before All-Star Weekend, the New York Knicks were conceding an average of 99.4 points per game.
D'Antoni is not a coach who pays attention to conceding points, he is more concerned about whether the team can score......
With an average of 118.4 points per game, the highest score in the league in the high game, it is the embodiment of D'Antoni's coaching philosophy.
And after All-Star Weekend, the New York Knicks quickly dropped to 94.7 points per game.
That's almost 5 points lower than the original!
That's an exaggerated number......
The reason for this is that Mike Brown will keep shouting from the sidelines like he is now.
It's no wonder Steve Kerr later said that Mike Brown is one of the few people who can find a presence in an assistant coaching position.
Look at his loud voice on the sidelines, I don't know, I thought he was "acting" the head coach.
The Pacers' counteroffensive.
Collison didn't say a word and called the block.
This successfully disrupted the Knicks' defensive formation. He didn't hesitate any longer and gave the ball to Granger on the flank.
The current "ace" of the Pacers met Artest, the former "quasi-boss" of the Pacers......
Why add the word "quasi"?
Well......
Artest calls himself "boss", and it depends on whether O'Neill Jr. agrees or not.
Vice versa.
If O'Neal Jr. calls himself the "boss of the Pacers", Artest will definitely shake his thick arms to find him "elbows and elbows", and then "twist" his heart!
This is actually one of the highlights of this series.
It's just that the suspense is not too big......
Because......
Danny Granger himself doesn't move fast, breaking through with his tall frame.
This is Artest's favorite.
The "meat grinder" style of defense was activated, and Danny Granger couldn't get rid of it, and seeing that time was running out, he forced a pull-up jump shot......
Miss!
"Hei Yaoming" grabbed the rebound.
His long arms do take advantage.
In particular, his partner is Hansbrough, a "big meat shield" who is also "dead and strong".
Yao Ming was outnumbered under the basket and watched as the opposite side grabbed the offensive rebound again.
Just grabbed the board and showed his long arms, and Hibbert's action on the offensive end suddenly stiffened.
Like most of the "big black" inside lines, Hibbert's hand is not soft.
And with his stiff hook hand, it is doomed that he cannot become a real "Black Yao Ming......
Da Yao protected the rebound this time.
Li Wan held the ball to the front court, called Lewis's block, and successfully opened up the space on the inside.
Da Yao holds the ball and teaches Hibbert on the spot, how does this "hook hand" play!
The ball fell into the basket with a "swish".
5-0!
Hibbert didn't keep up with the rhythm at all during the whole process, and watched Da Yao return to defense, with unconcealed envy in his eyes......
Most of the center's idols aren't Michael Jordan or anything like that......
Just like Da Yao's idol is Sabonis......
In Hibbert's eyes, if he can turn around and hook his hands as handsomely as Da Yao, the road of basketball can be regarded as coming to an end......
Da Yao: Don't be envious, take your arm span for it!
With two consecutive misses, the Pacers' Frank Vogel was a little anxious, shouting from the sidelines for Collison to rush to the basket.
In the first two rounds, although the Pacers did not score, they grabbed offensive rebounds, which shows that they have an advantage under the basket.
Collison did as he was told, and after calling for a block this time, he really rushed into the inside line.
Giving the ball to Hansbru in the chaos.
The latter, although he did not score, caused a defensive foul on Lewis.
Lewis, who held his hands aloft, was a little helpless.
Hansblu's attack in this round was all strength, without the slightest skill, it was simply ......
Beep the dog!
This is the object of his least good defense.
Mike Brown took a look at the situation and looked at D'Antoni.
The latter seemed to know what he was thinking, nodded and let you people from the "Blang family" get on!
Kwame Brown just walked up to the players' waiting area.
Hansbrough missed the first free throw, and he high-fived Lewis to the cheers of the audience and walked onto the court!
Before you know it, the boos have nothing to do with Kwame......
Li Wan was a little surprised to see such a timely adjustment.
He has the impression that Mike Brown is not a very responsive coach on the spot, he is more used to following the pre-game arrangement, step by step.
I didn't expect the response to be so quick this time......
Mike Brown: I'm just slow to react, I'm not blind, it's such a big problem on the inside, even if the bench is tied to a dog, it's time to bark twice!
Well......
Well?
"Huh!"
Hansbru scored the second goal.
The Pacers finally scored the first point of the game!
It's a bit hard to come by......
Li Wan carried the ball to the front court and directly called Kwame Brown's block.
Then he rushed straight to the inside line.
It's just that the ball was given to Da Yao, and the opposite side immediately made a basket, and Da Yao didn't even have a single posture, so he had to throw the ball to the outside.
The ball was back in Artest's hand and back in Li Wan's hand.
In the first round of Lewis's absence, the effects of his absence were already revealed:
Without his containment, it is not a simple matter for Da Yao to get singles space!
With less than 8 seconds left in the offensive time, the New York fans in the audience did not panic at all:
It doesn't matter, Li Wan will make a move!
It's hard to believe that this is the mentality of New York fans at the moment.
As the most vitriolic fans on the planet, they are either mocking their home team or on their way......
And now, Li Wan's visit to the "Big Apple" for only one season has made them trust him......
There are just two words that stand out:
Clever!
Li Wan also lived up to his trust, facing Collisson, holding the ball alone, and easily completing a mid-range jumper.
Collison is 183 tall.
Like the other 183, he jumped up and hit Li Wan's knee at most.
Interference cannot be said to be none, it can only be said that there is, but not much, just a "."!
"Huh!"
The arrest caused a boil in the entire Madison Square.
Kenny Smith, TNT's "golden partner" who commented on the game, asked uncertainly: "When Li Wan scored, the cheers of these New Yorkers were so loud, right?" ”
Barkley nodded: "Of course!" ”
Just now, the live camera gave a close-up of an auditorium, and although the camera was only a flash, Barkley clearly saw the tonsils of the dude.
Say, "How loud you scream!"
And such fans who are crazy about Li Wan, there are still many ...... at the scene
"Both!"
As the cheers faded, Frank Vogel called a timeout.
The start of 7-1, no more no!
And as far as Li Wan's singles against Corrison are so easy, he has to make some arrangements, right?
"Deng Tai, I'll leave it to you!"
He told Jones, who was in the second position, to wait to defend Leewan.
After the timeout, he sent the assistant coach to the bench to inform Paul George that he was ready to play.
As soon as Dundee Jones doesn't work, he'll put George on the court right away.
In fact, late in the regular season, George had already earned Frank's trust, playing 17 starts, and performing well, but a more suitable position for him should be the No. 3 position, which overlaps with Granger's position.
There was no way, and in the playoffs, Frank put Paul George on the bench again.
On the field, Collisson's shot missed again......
After entering the "best defensive team" last season, Li Wan's ability on the defensive end has attracted the attention of many experts in the league, this season came to the New York Knicks, and there are often loopholes in the defense of the second and fourth positions.
Avaging 2.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game also proves how good Li Wan is on the defensive end this season......
Last season, it can be said that he played with the help of Howard, but this time without Howard, he still played a similar statistical performance......
Anyway, in the eyes of many media, Li Wan has locked up the "best defensive period" this season!
Collison is also afraid of Li Wan's defensive prestige, and this shot is similar to the last time......
Hurry!
D press early!
"Rebound!"
Collison also knew very well that the first time the ball was shot, he shouted in a hurry.
Hansbrough and Hibbert are still two people working together, but with the help of Kwame Brown, Da Yao can focus on fighting Hibbert without having to go one-to-two.
The four of them formed a ball, and Li Wan came out from the side to protect the rebound......
Fight back quickly!
It was Li Wan who single-handedly forced the opposing side to shrink the defensive formation, and then quickly passed the ball to Ray Allen on the flank!
The "All-Time Three-Point King" felt obviously very good tonight.
"Huh!"
The ball fell into the net as if it had been dropped on Hiroshima.
With a "boom", Madison Square exploded directly!
10-1!
One more point would send the Knicks' lead to double digits.
Frank didn't wait any longer and motioned for Paul George to come on and prepare to replace Dundee Jones. In that round just now, Jones didn't even touch the corner of Li Wan's clothes.
To deal with this kind of physical perversion, you have to use a physical pervert like Paul George!
The ball was again given to Granger for a single.
Artest pushed a little too hard this time around, giving him a chance to rush to the basket.
Granger, who had the ball in his hand, forced his way through the basket and caused a foul on Kwame Brown.
It's on!
When the sound of "all" sounded, Paul George's expression suddenly became tense.
In the first playoff game of his career, he had to face a top player in the league like Leewan, and Paul George secretly complained in his heart. I really want to take a few "tons and tons" first to relieve the pressure.
Granger saw his little brother come on the court, hit two free throws steadily, and signaled him not to be nervous.
As long as you play well, you'll be fine!
George......
His encouragement was not noticed.
When Li Wan got the ball, there was only Li Wan left in his eyes......
I'll play singles!
Levan, who came to the frontcourt, looked at the serious Paul George and motioned for his teammates to pull away.
The New York fans at the scene took advantage of the gap to send a huge cheer.
Li Wan's singles, they love to watch it too much.
In the face of this super physical fitness man who will be known as "Wheat Di" in the future, Li Wan did not leave his hand at all, and came up as "Maddie's first step".
It can only be said that George before he broke his leg is really full of physical fitness.
His 95% similarity to the "first step of Maddie" was actually followed by him.
However, Li Wan was not in a hurry, and immediately changed his rhythm, using the "dribble and jumping step behind his back", changing direction and breaking through from the other side, and the whole action was done in one go.
I saw the scene with exclamations again and again.
Now every movement of Li Wan carries a dazzling talent that even a blind person can feel.
People can't help but exclaim.
Afraid of disturbing Li Wan, he quickly covered his mouth.
George still kept up with Li Wan, only half a position away, and this half position was not enough for Li Wan to accelerate the breakthrough.
But at this time, Li Wan's body suddenly stagnated, and changed direction again, and when the center of gravity of George's entire body shifted, he immediately pulled the ball back again......
After so many extreme moves in a row, Li Wan's connecting action is "Sam Gold"!
Now Paul George is also at the limit of his body.
His feet slipped and he sat on the ground.
It's good that my foot is twisted......
Otherwise, it's a "crackling fork in place"......
While Li Wan was breaking through, he noticed his "collapse", and his whole body suddenly stopped, and after glancing at him, he scored a mid-range jumper next to him!
All the previous movements that showed his talent were not as chic as his glance......
Some female fans who were already very high, in this moment, were reluctantly clamped, and their expressions reached some kind of strange pleasure!
Frank covers his face at the first time!
This time he sent Li Wan a big ......
He might as well let Dundee Jones continue to defend!
To say that this newcomer has physical fitness and enthusiasm, sometimes it is really not a good thing......
Isn't this waiting to be played by the other party?
Look at Dundee Jones again......
I'm afraid that he won't be able to keep up with the first move!
In this way, you may feel helpless......
But it's never going to be a shame!
"Paul George's buddy is so interesting, as soon as he comes up, he will give Brother Wan a famous scene!"
"I remember, there was a time when Brother Wan scored 3 goals in a game and scored the 'Top 5 Goals of the Day', and the background board was all this person!"
"It turned out to be the 'background brother', I said, why does it look so familiar!"
……
Sina NBA live broadcast room.
Li Wan's shot after shaking down made the messages on the message board scroll faster.
Since that regular season game, Paul George has had an extra nickname in Huaxia, called "Brother Background".
Paul George, who has just come on the field at the moment, has also proved with practical actions that there is only the wrong name, not the wrong "nickname".
The margin came to 12 points.
The most important thing is that the atmosphere of the whole scene is completely hilarious.
This further exacerbates the psychological ups and downs of the entire Pacers, and if their heartbeat rate were to be composed into a tune, it would be "Nervous"!
Kenny Smith looked at the 30-14 margin at the end of the first quarter and quipped, "There are some games where you die after the first quarter, only to be buried in the fourth quarter." ”
The Pacers are going to be even worse.
They couldn't wait for the fourth quarter to be buried again, so they dug a pit directly and buried themselves in advance.
Just 7 minutes and 15 seconds into the third quarter, Frank put the Pacers' main force down and waved the flag to surrender.
In the end, the game ended, and the Knicks won by 40 points 118-78!
Before the Pacers replaced the main team, they actually only lost by 30 points, but in the final quarter, the Knicks' bench lineup was stunned to give another 10-point difference.
Knicks fans were completely refreshed tonight......
Everyone knows that this series between the New York Knicks and the Pacers is a series in which the latter pays for his youth.
But who would have thought......
The Pacers are on Nima's "aristocratic school", and this tuition is scary to death!
Li Wan played a jaw-dropping 24 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in 25 minutes.
If you don't say it, who would have thought that this special thing is actually a "No. 1 position"!
But......
What Li Wan wants to say is: When there are "two card forwards" standing on the inside, and your height is 2.03 meters, and your physical fitness is particularly explosive, then 12 rebounds in 20 minutes is really "you can do it"! - The happiness of the turtle, Li Wan felt it!
That is, the Pacers shot a little early......
If Li Wan is really allowed to play the whole game, if he doesn't have a "30 plus 20 plus 10" data in this game, he doesn't feel like he has played well!
And when I think about it, I can continue to enjoy the "double card forward" treatment for the rest of this series......
Li Wan really can't wait for the next game to come soon!
In addition to him, the rest of the Knicks: Da Yao had 14 points and 7 rebounds, and his scoring performance was not obvious, and his problem was that the Pacers took a firm bag after Lewis went down.
This exposes Da Yao's two commonplace problems: one is the problem of going around the front; Then there's the fitness problem.
These are actually two unsolvable questions......
It's just that in the lineup of the New York Knicks, it was able to cover up ...... In the current normal system of the Knicks, these two points can be bypassed, and through Li Wan and Lewis blocking, forcing the opponent to make the basket only one-on-one.
Ray Allen played 28.9 minutes and scored 16 points, including four three-pointers.
His presence outside the three-point line tonight is where Li Wanneng's confidence lies in constantly pulling away singles.
Artest didn't play well on the offensive end tonight, scoring just eight points in 25 minutes.
His contributions were all on the defensive end, with Danny Granger being prevented by him on 5-of-16 shooting, a 32 percent shooting percentage.
Without this main force on the scoring end, the Pacers' offense was directly locked in. In the end, after 4 quarters, he scored 78 points......
Paul George played a total of 28.9 minutes in this game, with 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Hit rate 40%!
It looks pretty good......
Because he played the whole "garbage time".
The 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in this statistic were all scored in the fourth quarter.
In normal game time, he made 1 of 4 shots, plus free throws, to score a total of 3 points.
However, when defending Li Wan, he played a luxury data sheet of being shaken down 1 time, being shaken off N times, and being fouled 3 times. That is, the other brothers of the Pacers did not hold up.
Otherwise, Li Wan alone would be able to make him leave the scene with 6 crimes!
There's no way, level 30 meets level 82, it's like this......
After the game, a reporter asked Li Wan what he thought of Paul George.
Originally, such a small rookie was not worth asking a special question.
But the Pacers lost so badly in this game that there was nothing worth talking about.
You can't just finish the first game of the series and look forward to the second round of the playoffs, right?
They can disrespect the Pacers, but they have to respect the city of Indiana......
Otherwise, there must be a few "black blacks" who jump out and question whether you are discriminating against black people!
Not an exaggeration......
They all dare to cross the sea to label the Argentine team as "discriminating against blacks", what else is the situation that they dare not buckle the hat?
Li Wandao: "This kid is good, he will become very good, but now he needs to pay some tuition...... Of course, after tonight, he will become famous, and this is the first thing he will face, because the person who shook him down is me! ”
This wave of pretending ratio, even Paul George has to give a "85" score when he hears it, and he sends the rest in the form of "666", don't ask why 85 plus 18 equals 100, ask is not good at math!
But there's one thing that even Paul George can't refute......
He has indeed become more famous because of Li Wan's downfall!
There was even a "non-slip shoes" who came to the door and invited him to endorse, and even the advertising words were prepared for him: wearing xx brand non-slip shoes, my mother no longer has to worry about me being knocked down by Li Wanhuang!
Paul's eyes were green when he saw the slogan, but he didn't hesitate to sign his name on it.
There was no way, the other party gave him a number that he couldn't refuse:
4 million!
It's too much to give......
In the "cornfield" of Indiana, even Danny Granger has a hard time getting such a high-paying business contract.
Make money!
Don't stumble!
Brian Russell cries and faints toilet ...... I made a little fame by being shaken, and this guy made money directly by being shaken!
Boy!
Paul George: What is your "backdrop" and what is my "backdrop"? There is also a gap between the "background board" and the "background board"!
Do you understand the gold content of the "essence of the human background board"?
When Li Wan saw the news, he really wanted to send a text message to Paul George:
V50, look at the strength!
Li Wan also looked at the results of the other three groups.
The Mavericks won 108-94 over the Suns with ease.
Judging by the entire battle report, the Suns have little to no way to fight back.
It's no wonder that the Mavericks' defensive counterattack is not inferior to the Suns in a fast attack, but on the defensive end, the gap between the Suns and the Mavericks is a bit big.
The Suns are in a similar situation to the Pacers......
If you win the entire series, you can win it once!
But Crawford had good news.
This morning, the league officially announced the "Sixth Man of the Season" in the 10~11 season, and Crawford won the award with 15.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
Because this time he came out of the Knicks, instead of going to the Hawks as he originally did, he went to the Magic, so this is the first time he has won this award in his career.
Li Wan also sent a congratulatory text message to the former "teacher" for the first time.
He doesn't feel guilty, at Crawford's age, it won't be difficult to win the "Best Sixth Man" in the future, and when the time comes, it will tie the original career record 3 times, which is also a matter of holding the handle!
You must know that this guy can still win the "Best Sixth Man Award" until the 15~16 season, and now it's only the 10~11 season......
Some people are born "sixth men", and Crawford is such a player......
Such honors can be fought for again, but the championship is not something that can be won if you want to......
Taking the "Best Sixth Man" for a championship and allowing yourself to get a "championship buff" bonus, this deal is not a loss, right?
Besides, he only found out about Crawford's going to the Magic team later......
The Lakers also defeated the Nuggets 108-90 easily.
This group also won by more than 14 points.
This is the impact of the "alliance of giants".
The upstream team of "giants gathered" will inevitably open a notch with the team at the bottom, especially this kind of duel with a large ranking, playing a score difference of more than 10 points, which is really not unusual, but it is common!
Therefore, some experts say that there is not much suspense in the first round of this year's series, except for those teams that are closer to each other, and there is some suspense about the matchup between the Bulls and the Nets......
Li Wan knew it as soon as he saw the news......
The faces of these experts are about to "swell"!
Tonight will be the matchup of the remaining 4 groups of the playoffs.
Among them are the Spurs, who are first in the West, and the Grizzlies, who are eighth in the West......
The Grizzlies actually have a better record than they did at the same time, having won 48 games this season after only 46 games this season.
It's a pity that they are in the west, so ......
Even with almost 50 wins, they are still in eighth place.
How far from the sun?
It's not much, just 1 win.
And this is the West, and the difference between eighth and second is probably only three or four wins...... Of course, this year it is more obvious that there has to be a gap of seven or eight wins.
That's a huge gap to the 61-win Spurs, so for this series, the pundits agreed that the Spurs will win 4-0 over the Grizzlies......
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
After Li Wan's daily training, he practiced for an hour, and he didn't go back, so he turned on the small TV in the locker room and watched it.
As always, the Spurs had serious injury problems in the closing stages of the regular season, especially the injuries of Tim Duncan and Ginobili, which worried Popovich.
Of course, the most fatal problem is the aging of the entire roster, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Jefferson, McDyes, this is the Spurs' main lineup this season, the youngest of which Parker is 29 years old, and the oldest McDyes, 36 years old......
The aging of the squad is much worse than Popovich thought.
And in the first game of the series, this Achilles' heel was also fully reflected!
