Chapter 242: And This Operation? Back to the first place in the East!
Nick Young's words "moved" Kobe.
As soon as the second half came up, the "Black Mamba", who had been in little shape, showed his bloodthirsty fangs and scored continuously, and he had already scored 7 points when the game time reached 3 minutes and 24 seconds in the third quarter.
You must know that at the end of the first half, Kobe Bryant only scored 9 points.
In other words, he finished his first half in less than three minutes.
Phil Jackson looked at him, stunned, and specially recalled that when he was in the locker room, did he give him a set of "love horses and chickens"......
Probably shouldn't!
This is just a "Christmas game", and it is a regular season, and Phil Jackson rarely survives the "chicken soup" in such a non-refutable game, except for the need to beat some players.
In the end, the result of thinking is also ......
No!
That's weird!
Why is this guy so reluctant all of a sudden?
Nick Young, who was sitting on the bench, shook his legs with excitement:
What a work this wave!
What a work!
In his opinion, Kobe Bryant is so excited because his words played a decisive role, Kobe Bryant ......
I was moved!
Well, you can see from that......
The wrong process can lead to the right result!
Nick Young was quick to say:
When it's my turn to play, I must play better and let Kobe Bryant continue to be moved!
Kobe Bryant is crazy!
D'Antoni called a timeout and changed the line-up.
After more than two months of running in the lineup, "Mustache" can be regarded as finding a set of playing styles that belong to the New York Knicks in the new season.
There are two main points:
If you throw it, put all the pitchers on the field!
The Knicks' outside shooting group is top-notch, and with full firepower, none of the opponents the Knicks have faced in this league can match this team's firepower......
In addition, when Li Wan is preparing to play singles, he must also ensure that these top outside projections are on the court, which is to create the maximum singles space for Li Wan.
Li Wan faced the stage set up by D'Antoni, and did not live up to his trust, firing with full firepower and training a DeLong Williams.
Jerry Sloan's "UCLA" system covers up a lot of problems for Chubby, including......
His defensive problems!
The problem of slow traversal movement was vividly exposed in the face of Li Wan's explosive power.
He didn't dare to get too close, Li Wan's height was there, he was different from a certain 183, he was not an opponent that Deron Williams could recklessly rely on purely on tonnage and strength.
Phil Handy can only let Ariza help with the defense.
But after Li Wan scored two goals, he just opened the "Nerve Knife" badge, and he was in improved condition, playing one or two.
All kinds of violent attack frames, the New York fans who watched the scene called "OMG"!
These balls shook their hearts "Dongdong Dong" straight beat!
Refreshing!
It's so cool!
At Christmas, I have to watch Li Wan's dunk and watch other coughs.
Seeing that Ariza's reinforcement didn't play a role at all, Phil Handy glanced at Phil Jackson and smiled helplessly:
I'm out of tricks anyway!
Phil Jackson's expression was not flustered.
Again......
It's just a regular season!
And......
If you really lose to Li Wan like this, it's not a big deal!
Such a thing, not once, not twice or three times!
Seeing that the score difference was about to continue to widen, the "Black Mamba" continued his "furious offensive" with a lot of strength.
The court once became the Lakers' "Jordan" vs "Pippen" vs. Biao.
Of course, from a media point of view, this style of painting is ......
It's finally normal!
Before the game began, what they expected was the confrontation between Li Wan and Kobe.
It's a big holiday, and it has to be this kind of "super giant pair of giants" of "Mars hitting the earth" to be enjoyable!
Finally, at the end of the third quarter, Li Wanjiu scored 20 points in a single quarter, and Kobe Bryant was not to be outdone and scored 17 points.
But with 2:31 left in the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied 85-85.
As for who brought the Lakers closer by trailing the score......
He endures and he is strong!
Lao Tzu Nick Young!
That's right!
Again, our "Yang Shaoxia", his state tonight is really good, even if he "ran wild" in the first half, he came up again in the second half, the "feel" was still hot, and there was even a ball, dislocated in the face of Li Wan, he didn't even adjust, he shot directly, hit Li Wan off guard, and the ball was hollow into the frame......
Li Wan shook his head in convincing.
This kid won't secretly be on my "basketball god" tuba, right?
Bryant looked tangled.
Nick Young was really good tonight.
But this guy ......
Just ignored his request again!
In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant finally scored 3 points less than Li Wan in the first quarter, and in the opinion of "Black Mamba", it was because Nick Young's exaggerated strong shot was not passed to him.
But here's the problem......
When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't scold!
This guy threw all the balls, and he wanted to say "boy, your shot is too unreasonable", but he didn't have a chance!
Seriously, it's the first time he's so eager for his teammates to shoot, and he can't scold his swear words on his lips, it's really uncomfortable!
What made Kobe Bryant speechless the most was that when he shot back to the goal, he had to turn his head and hand him a "believe" look.
Don't worry, I'm here, you just have to lie down in peace!
I'll lay you Grandma O'Neal on a leg!
"Black Mamba" was so angry that he seemed to have just swallowed an elephant and turned into a He Dou Bibi.
But aside from this, Kobe Bryant thinks it's very good, especially if he can win Li Wan!
After being won so many times by this killer, Kobe Bryant felt that no matter what way it was, as long as he could win Li Wan once, it would be good!
Well......
Yes!
Kobe Bryant's obsession with defeating Li Wan has unknowingly reached this point!
He didn't notice that the relationship between the two people fell one by one.
Li Wan, who was supposed to be the challenger, was sitting on the throne at the moment, waiting for Kobe Bryant to attack him.
Of course, from Li Wan's point of view, Kobe Bryant is indeed just a "little snake" who was defeated by him twice in the finals!
However, Kobe Bryant, who is determined to play this game as a "war", and Nick Young, who is determined to make Kobe "rest assured", do provide the Lakers with sufficient firepower.
Fortunately, Li Wan's strong performance in the third quarter allowed him to continue to attract the defense and create enough offensive space for the Knicks' perimeter.
The Seattle Twins fired two shots to fuel the fun.
Then Artest also "accompanied" a shot.
In addition, Li Wan also fired continuously outside the three-point line.
The Lakers' firepower didn't pierce the Knicks, and likewise, the Knicks' firepower couldn't knock the Lakers out, and the two sides were evenly matched until the final 34 seconds.
Li Wan took the lead with a mid-range jumper after blocking and dismantling, and the score was rewritten, and the New York Knicks were 98-96, leading by 2 points. It gave the Lakers 23.4 seconds.
The scene sounded the cheers of "MVP" for the first time!
Bryant grabbed a shot and missed a 3-pointer, but fortunately Pau Gasol protected the rebound.
Phil Jackson called a timeout and glanced at the time 15.8 seconds.
He handed over the decision to Kobe: "Whether it is a three-point kill or a two-point drag into overtime, the decision is yours!" ”
"Zen Master" believes that he must know what to do in terms of the big scenes that Kobe Bryant has experienced!
Kobe nodded solemnly.
What he didn't notice was that Nick Young also nodded solemnly and slightly.
So far in the game, "Young Young" has scored more than 30 points, and he is in such good shape, and it is another offensive round for the Lakers, and Phil Jackson has no reason to put him back on the bench.
As soon as Nick Young heard the "Zen Master" say that he would hand over the ball to Kobe Bryant to solve, he cursed in his heart at that time:
Aren't you embarrassing my boss?
Just missed a three-point shot!
If Nick Young is not mistaken, Bryant didn't make a layup before making the three-point shot.
Failed to score two shots in a row, and you still let him play the last attack?
If this doesn't go in......
The media must not scold him to death?
Thinking of Kobe's ardent hopes for him before the start of the new season, and then thinking about his state tonight, Phil Jackson handed over the last attack to Kobe, but Nick Young secretly made a plan to save the "Mamba Snake" in his heart!
"Both!"
Beering.
Sure enough, the Knicks' defense was very focused on Kobe's movement from the start.
As long as the "Black Mamba" stepped forward to get the ball, they would not hesitate to move in advance and move closer to Kobe, once he got the ball, I was afraid that the two closest Knicks to him would be wrapped together.
】
Nick Young saw this situation and immediately made up his mind. Be sure to save the "Mamba Snake"!
The five-second tee time was fast and Pau Gasol could only give the ball to Delon Williams first.
"Chubby" dribbled and waited in place, and Pau Gasol went up to the top and immediately gave the ball to Gasol.
The attention of "sister-in-law" has been on Kobe, and "Black Mamba" also ran back at this time and ran out of the vacant position.
Almost at the same time, Gasol threw the ball towards his hand!
What is "Koga's tacit understanding"!
The ball is about to go into Kobe's hands.
Once again, Black Mamba glanced at the time on the timer: 5.6 seconds!
Glancing at the defensive position on the opposite side again.
I thought I could end the game with a three-pointer......
But just when the ball was about to fly into Kobe's hand, Kobe Bryant's face suddenly crossed one hand and held the ball in his hand.
It's Nick Young......
Kenny Smith screamed, "He steals Kobe!" ”
omg!
What I saw!
Even the old commentator for more than ten years is dumbfounded at the moment!
What kind of operation is this......
Lao Tzu believes in your evil!
Kobe Bryant was also speechless, clapping his hands desperately: "Ball, ball, ball, give me the ball!" ”
But in Nick Young's eyes, where is Kobe, who is fully committed to Artest, the defender in front of him, and ......
It's how to take the Knicks' basket.
I'm going to......
Save the game!
Save Kobe!
There was a commotion at the scene.
Nick Young's steal stunned the explanation, which broke Kobe's mentality and stunned the New York Knicks fans.
Growing so big, what game haven't they seen?
What classic moment they haven't seen?
But "Yang Shaoxia" has never seen it.
The extra loud noise, coupled with Artest's close defense, made Nick Young a little more impatient, and the speed of his dribbling was a little different from usual. After all, he has only been with the Lakers for a year, and he has not experienced any decent big scenes with the Wizards.
With a blank head, he chose to hold the ball and burst strongly, but he stumbled, jumped up under the basket and shot, but it was like getting out of his hand.
"Bang dang" sounded!
At the same time, a beep sounds.
Nick Young used an extremely outrageous single to bury the entire "Christmas War" that he fought with Kobe Bryant.
Kobe's expression changed from "incomprehensible" to gloomy, and at this moment he was really full of anger and had nowhere to vent.
Nick Young kept complaining: "He grabbed my hand, he grabbed my hand, why don't you blow it, referee!" ”
But his venting fell in Kobe's eyes, and he felt like a clown.
Li Wan......
Finally enough time to react to all this.
He was so engrossed in the defense for this last attack, but he didn't expect so much to happen.
It's too dense!
He had to digest it......
To say that this "Yang Shaoxia" is really worthy of "Yang Shaoxia", when he should play awkwardly, he does not hesitate at all!
Look at Kobe, he was angry with the same emoji as him.
At the moment when Nick Young stole Kobe, as a former teammate and Kobe's "Jordan", Li Wan felt a little distressed about Kobe.
At the same time, he had a thought in his heart:
Could it be that the second half of Kobe's career is destined to be tragic?
According to the original script, the Lakers will usher in a "new F4" next season, Howard alone is enough to give Kobe Bryant a headache, and now God has sent Nick Young in advance, plus Jamie Lin, who did not play on the bench, what about the others, Li Wan doesn't know, anyway, he has begun to look forward to the Lakers' next season......
The game is over.
The data on both sides is also frozen.
Li Wan got 39 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 block;
Ray Allen scored 17 points and hit three three-pointers;
Lewis scored 16 points;
Artest scored 14 points;
Including Tyson Chandler also had 12 points and 9 rebounds;
The entire starting lineup scored in double figures.
But there is an obvious problem, and it can be seen from this data table that this team is indeed missing 2 leaders!
Whether it's Ray Allen or Lewis, they certainly have enough points, but the rest of the stats are a bit far from being the 2 masters.
In the history of the NBA, except for LeBron James, who requires his second leader to have the ability to make a decisive decision at critical moments, other "championship team-level bosses" will not hesitate when they need him to step up and score.
What they need is an "all-round master" who can be busy in and out of the world to share the pressure.
At present, the work of the Knicks' "big boss" and "second master" is actually all done by Li Wan alone!
On the Lakers' side:
Bryant had 36 points, six rebounds and four assists;
Deron Williams had 15 points and 6 assists, and he completely became a "dribble guard" in this game, basically not touching the ball;
Pau Gasol had 17 points and 11 rebounds;
Plus Nick Young's 31 points.
In fact, on the Lakers' side, it looks like they should be the one who wins, and they did almost win, if Nick Young hadn't come to such a "sassy operation"!
"There was a foul on the other side and he held my hand until the last minute, but the referee didn't find ......"
Nick Young faced the media interview after the game, and he still looked wronged.
Kobe Bryant watched next to him and silently ordered a song "One of My Resentful Teammates Who Can't Afford to Lose"!
If you don't have this ability, don't you take this porcelain job?
"Dude, what the hell is going on with you?"
"Do you think you already have the right to make your last shot?"
"It's not that simple, man, you really should reflect on it......"
On the airliner back to Los Angeles, without the spotlight of the media, Kobe Bryant finally had no patience and sprayed trash talk at Nick Young.
Rejoice!
Joyfully!
For a moment, Kobe Bryant suddenly felt that losing was not a big deal, it was just a regular season game...... At least he held back the whole swear words and had a chance to vent!
Think about it again, if Nick Young really completes the stunner under such circumstances, then he may be arrogant with the Lakers in the future!
Luckily......
Luckily, I didn't get in!
Artest is well defended!
But......
How can this newcomer be so uncounted?
It's hard to bring a team!
Kobe Bryant complained silently in his heart, but if his complaints were heard by Shaq, he would definitely roll his eyes and say to him:
"You know!"
In fact, this Christmas fight, Shaq O'Neal also watched.
At the last moment, Nick Young stole a teammate's pass to Kobe Bryant, and he went to open a bottle of champagne......
Little snake, little snake!
You also have today!
Hahahahaha!
This Christmas, what a joy!
Nick Young dropped his head to the crotch of Kobe Bryant's mouth, but he still said weakly: "The other side really fouled, he grabbed my hand!" ”
Kobe Bryant looked at this kid, he couldn't afford to lose, shook his head, and felt that this "rotten wood" could not be withered.
Well, actually, when Nick Young stole that ball and made his own shot, Kobe Bryant kicked the guy out of his future plans.
It's better to harm other people with this kind of "thorn"!
However, he can't just tell Kupchak to trade this kid for me now, and then others will think how careful he is!
Moreover......
This happened!
It doesn't matter if he says it or not, as a qualified Lakers general manager, Kupchak knows what to do!
But Kobe Bryant didn't expect that this thing would really be reversed, and on December 26, the league officially issued a special notice: the referee made a mistake in the last moment of the "Christmas War" and did not see Artest's foul on Nick Young. This allowed the Lakers to miss an opportunity to equalize, which led to the loss.
When Nick Young saw the news, he jumped out of bed, tweeted, and retweeted the league's announcement:
"I'll just say it, I'll say it, I'll say I was fouled at the time!"
Seven or eight crying face emojis were added to the back.
Yesterday, he scolded Kobe Bryant on the plane, but he wronged the child!
Artest immediately had a nickname "New York Grappler".
It can be seen from the official video released by the league that from the moment Nick Young began to break through to the free throw line, Artest's hand kept grabbing his wrist until Nick Young jumped, and then let go.
This is also why Nick Young's shot looked the same as taking it off.
When Artest was interviewed, he replied very firmly: "In the past, let it pass, it doesn't matter what it looks like, the final result of the 'Christmas War' is that we won!" ”
His words, which can be described as "real damage" and "critical attack", directly beat Los Angeles "crazy", and all kinds of accusations against the alliance are endless.
Li Wan has actually always felt that this kind of referee report after the game is very cerebral palsy.
Except for making the losing side more annoyed, it has no effect at all.
The same is true, when the official announcement of the alliance came out, everyone was still talking about it, but after only one morning, no one discussed this matter.
At Montevideo High School in Florida, a black high school student with a tiger head and a tiger brain watched this video repeatedly, and his face was full of surprise:
It can still be like this!
Learned!
Learned!
watched it intently, until a teammate from the school team came to call his name: Embiid, it's time to go to the arena, or the coach will scold again!
He reluctantly closed the video.
On the way, he looked up Artest's information, and he wanted to see if the former winner of the "Best Defensive Player Award" had ever held a training camp.
He wanted to learn two more tricks......
Artest's foul really opened the door to a new world for him.
On the same day, the league officially announced, as always, that the first phase of the 12-year All-Star Weekend starter voting was officially opened!
After Li Wan finished the training, he forwarded the voting link.
Although his influence is unlikely to make the final Eastern Conference starting list, or, even if he can't make the Eastern Conference starting list, he will definitely be able to make the bench.
But Li Wan showed the stability of "Li's" at the moment.
When it comes to tasks, it's better for him to be positive.
This template, when the season is over, Li Wan is decided!
What he said......
Jesus couldn't stop it!
On December 27, the New York Knicks traveled to the Golden State to challenge the Golden State Warriors.
For the first time in the new season, Lee Wan met Stephen Curry, one of the faces of the future league!
This is the fifth time in Li Wan's career that he has played against Curry.
But compared with the previous 4 times, this time Li Wan felt a sense of urgency.
It's not that Curry gave him a tricky feeling in this game......
Stephen Curry, as he had to be, suffered an ankle crisis this season.
Seriously, he also has a good back, but in the contract year, he encountered an injury. "Christmas" didn't last, and the season was reimbursed...... In this game, he directly wore a suit to watch on the wall.
The Knicks also won comfortably 128-102.
Leewan's sense of urgency comes from the Warriors head coach in front of the bench. -- With physical health challenges this summer, Nelson Sr. announced his resignation and Mark Jackson took over as the new head coach of the Warriors!
Many "ten-year fans" may not know this head coach, but in fact, he participated in the whole process of building the Warriors' "five small" lineup, but when the lineup was formed, he was picked by Steve Kerr!
Yes!
Essentially, Steve Kerr is no different from Larry Brown back then.
His only contribution may be to elevate Green to the starting line-up.
But before that, the growth of newcomers is inseparable from the cultivation of Mark Jackson.
Sending Monta Ellis away to create the backcourt combination of the "Splash Brothers" was finalized during his coaching!
Moreover, the head coach of the Warriors after Mark Jackson leaves is Steve Kerr.
More and more familiar names mean that the "Cosmic Brave" is just around the corner!
Li Wan did not deliberately sabotage the idea formed by this "four years and three crowns" team. If his team is short of a player, he's going to try to get it.
But the current situation is that the Warriors are a group of players, and he doesn't have to do it.
Their growth cycle is too long!
For the current New York Knicks, defending the title is the number one goal.
And it is impossible to defend the title and train newcomers at the same time.
is as strong as the Warriors, and it took a year to make a lot of fresh blood grow into the main force of the team.
What the New York Knicks need more now is immediate combat power, such as a powerful player in the playing year, or a veteran with rich experience!
What's more......
The new template is imminent, which makes him want to touch this legendary "cosmic brave".
This is an idea that will naturally arise after reaching a certain stage of strength.
Invincibility......
It's really lonely!
Although there are still many challenges to Li Wan in the alliance at the moment, if you really want to say it, more than half of the alliance's heroes and strongmen have fallen within two or three years, and at that time, Li Wan was only 27 years old, and he didn't want to go through the peak period of "loneliness as snow......
Moreover, as far as the "butterfly effect" he formed, I really can't say whether the Warriors will be affected......
He doesn't have to do it himself, as the protagonist, he has to have a B grid!
Just because they can win 3 crowns in 4 years, they were deliberately demolished?
This pattern is too small!
If this is the case, the most important thing he should dismantle is the Heat team that was supposed to win the championship this year and next year, and the two championships in the past two years are actually considered an "elite little boss......
If you're not afraid of the Heat, there's no need to be afraid of the Warriors.
Stephen Curry has identified one thing tonight......
Li Wan is indeed targeting him!
Normally, when the Warriors do, they have to make a logo three-point shot.
I didn't shoot a single shot in this game......
Seashell......
Just pretend to be in front of me, right?
Three-point shooting is Stephen Curry's most confident aspect, and when he saw Lee hit half-court three-pointers again and again, he really couldn't hold back, wondering if his three-point talent was not as top as he thought.
In the end, he relied on the summer to blow up his old father and his younger brother Seth Curry, which regained his self-confidence.
Li Wan, won't your conscience hurt?
Yes!
December 29 and December 30.
The New York Knicks ushered in their second "back-to-back" of December.
In the first game, the New York Knicks met the Timberwolves again, and Li Wan educated the "golden boy" again, leaving Minnesota with a "triple-double" of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.
He traveled to Boston with the team that night.
In their next game, the Knicks will take on the Boston Celtics.
This is a team that is being rebuilt, and the overall combat effectiveness is not strong, and their goal is to sign for the high draft pick in next summer's draft.
Therefore, in the face of this must-win game, D'Antoni did not arrange a rotational rest, or "go all-in", and the Chicago Bulls played the last game of the year yesterday and lost to the Thunder.
This loss left the New York Knicks with only 0.5 wins!
That means that if the New York Knicks can win against the Celtics, they will be tied with the Bulls, relying on their previous win-loss relationship. The Knicks will squeeze out the Bulls and climb to the top spot in the East.
On the last day of 11 years, if you can blow up the chrysanthemums of the Bulls!
It's also a good New Year's gift......
This vote, D'Antoni did it!
As expected, the Celtics didn't struggle much before they were taken out.
By the end of the third quarter, the New York Knicks had stretched the score to 89-70.
However, Rajon Rondo proved at least one thing, his assists are really not won by the "Big Three", even with these "kindergarten kids", he still averaged 10.6 assists per game this season, including this game He also contributed 9 assists.
It's just that in the face of the fiasco, no data can arouse his interest.
Not to mention that in the opposite team, there are Li Wan and Ray Allen.
In front of these two opponents who he cares about the most, losing like this, Rajon Rondo's "poker face" can't help but hurt a little more!
Eventually, just like that, on the evening of December 30, 2011, the New York Knicks squeezed out the Bulls and climbed to the top spot in the East.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time this season that the New York Knicks have sat in the first place in the East.
The New York media couldn't help but want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
It's back!
It's back!
The "Master of Kings", it's back!
On December 31, the Knicks, who ended their "back-to-back", returned to New York to rest, and Li Wan just had time to set off "cannons" with Taylor on Chinese New Year's Eve!
From 10:50 to 0:50, the results of this "cannon":
Taylor threw away his armor, he was unconvinced, and it was another hand-to-hand fight, and after being smashed by Li Wanzhi Huanglong, he sweated profusely and waved the white flag.
The battle ended, and 2011 also became 2012......
It's a new year on!
Some people reached a settlement with 2.09 million in the New Year.
On the first day of the new year, Li Wan received the "Eastern Trophy of the Month" in December from the league's official mail.
Li Wan, who averaged 27.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 13.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game in December, regained the No. 1 position in the East with the New York Knicks 13-2, and also made his handsome photos appear on the trophy of the "Player of the Month" in the East.
The West's Player of the Month award goes to Carmelo Anthony.
Averaging 25.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, the Clippers went 12-4 in December, the second-fewest losses in the West.
The Spurs lost the fewest games in the West in December, losing just two. But the players of this team, in David Stern, have long been denied personal honors such as "Weekly Awards" and "Monthly Awards......
It's also in the "best lineup" that I will think about it.
