Chapter 251 NBA Peace Award, Peak LeBron is officially launched
The times change unexpectedly.
Even Kobe Bryant didn't expect them to stop in the Western Conference semifinals this season.
Perhaps, he thought of it, but he kept avoiding it.
Reporters asked about the Lakers next season.
At present, the Lakers' core roster is challenged by age, the entire salary space is also bloated, and more importantly, this is the first time they have been "swept by a gentleman" since 08.
Everything says a thing:
It's time for the Lakers to make some big trades!
Can......
The current situation......
Even Kobe Bryant, he doesn't know where the Lakers will go in the future.
Los Angeles fans were in mourning, especially on May 11, after the league announced its regular season MVP.
In this peak season of the "giant era", Li Wan became the final 2011~2012 regular season MVP with 95% of the votes!
This is another player since Kobe Bryant to win the regular season MVP.
LeBron James won the award once after Kobe Bryant, but failed to defend his title.
As a result, Li Wan, who had just ended the dispute for the "scoring champion", has now ended the dispute for the regular season MVP......
Li Wan: But I'm too busy!
However, careful netizens have pointed out that the next dispute that needs to be ended by Li Wan......
Since 02, the NBA champions are: Lakers, Spurs, Pistons, Spurs, Heat, Spurs, Lakers, Magic, Mavericks, New York Knicks......
Before you know it, 10 years have passed, and a variety of factors have led to the fact that no team has ever defended its title.
If the New York Knicks can win the championship this season, then this "10-year dispute" will usher in the final result!
Barkley joked: "In this case, I feel compelled to award Lee Wan an NBA Peace Award!" ”
No matter how chaotic the place is, as long as Li Wan appears, the dispute will definitely end!
Seeing these jokes, Lakers fans are really bitter and bitter, tons and tons of wine and tons
This "nuclear pigeon" ......
Flew out of Los Angeles!
Who would have thought that the 20-year-old rookie who ran away from the Lakers back then was only a few years old, 24 years old, in fact, 23 years and hundreds of days old, he won 2 championship trophies and 2 finals MVPs, plus the regular season MVP he got now......
Li Wan has achieved the "2 plus 2 plus 2" ......
There are two stats that Kobe Bryant has not been able to do so far in his entire career!
"In the first place, Kobe Bryant should have been sent out!"
"I don't believe that Li Wan and Gasol can't win the championship!"
"I should have known that Kobe Bryant should have been sent to the Bulls for a year, and maybe I could make up the backcourt lineup of Li Wan and Derrick Rose!"
……
Lakers fans are crazy......
Or rather, utter madness!
The speed of Li Wan's rise is too fast, and his strong momentum is even closer to President Mountain, which makes them red-eyed.
People with red eyes have lost their minds, and various remarks have emerged on the Internet.
Just like when the Wizards had a poor record, some fans were crazy and insulted Jordan there, thinking that he was not worthy of being called the "God of Basketball", and now many fans in Los Angeles openly question the choice to send Li Wan away.
Even......
If you had to send a player away, Kobe Bryant ......
Isn't it possible?
As much as Lakers fans complain, New York fans rejoice.
And the heartache of Lakers fans at the moment will make them unconsciously think of their "licking dog" career back then, who said that "licking dogs" licked to the last left, now, look at everything about the New York Knicks, isn't this "everything"!
That night, countless New York fans opened the champagne early and slipped on their knees in the living room.
What?
You say, the Eastern Conference Finals haven't started yet, isn't it a little early to open champagne?
Hehe, isn't this the norm for New York fans?
It doesn't matter, anyway, "President Li" will wipe their butts clean for them!
They believed that even if this bottle of champagne was drunk in advance, there would be no problems......
Some Lakers fans defected on the spot because they couldn't accept it, showing their dog tags as "ten years old fans of the Clippers".
In fact, they have been following this team for a long time......
The Clippers are really good enough right now, facing the Thunder, who are ranked higher than them in the regular season, and actually lead 3-2 in the series.
When the final whistle of the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" sounded, looking at the score of 109-103, Carmelo Anthony almost raised his head and roared, 09 to now, 3 years, he is finally back on the stage of the Western Conference finals!
Think about the opponent in the Finals, most likely it is the New York Knicks, it's not that he doesn't believe in his brother, but the Heat team struggled to beat the Pacers in the first round, and they still want to enter the Finals?
Impossible......
What's more, the Clippers and the Heat were tied 1-1 in their two games, while the New York Knicks were swept 2-0 by them in the regular season.
Who is easier to deal with, at a glance!
Carmelo Anthony would rather meet the New York Knicks in the Finals than the Heat......
"Melon" was already thinking about what to carve into the championship ring, and he didn't notice the change in Kevin Durant's eyes.
The unwillingness in the eyes of the Thunder fans at the scene, the "little handsome" can be seen.
These made him, who was already unwilling, even more unwilling......
The next day, when Kevin Durant saw Li Wan win the regular season MVP for the second year in a row, that unwillingness was raised to another level.
Can't lose!
You can't afford to lose!
The Thunder are clearly the better of the two teams in the regular season; Li Wan won the regular season MVP and reached the Eastern Conference Finals......
No matter how you look at it, he can't just fall like that!
Win!
I have to win!
The decisive Kevin Durant started Game 6 of the series with a completely different desire to fight than the previous games.
Anthony was pulled out twice in a row by him in front of him, and he angrily intensified the intensity of the confrontation, and the result was ......
"Huh!"
Or a goal!
Even this time the goal was more decisive.
The first time he received the ball on the wing of the three-point line, looking at Carmelo Anthony who had already made up the defense in front of him, Durant did not hesitate at all, and raised his hand to pull it out.
The ball hits the net.
Anthony met a pair of eyes with outstanding temperament.
Indifferent......
It's like, just scored an ordinary goal with nothing to say.
It was also this ball that made Anthony feel a familiar pressure, he once heard Kobe Bryant tell a story: when you meet a player who will make you feel pressure as soon as you get the ball, you have to be careful, then it proves that you have met an opponent of the same level as you, or even stronger!
"Melon" was thoroughly serious on the defensive end.
Although the defensive end has always been a point that "Anbraw" avoids talking about when bragging, if you really push them, they will talk to you about the '09 Western Conference Finals, Anthony's "textbook" defense against Kobe's back.
As a "heavy forward", Anthony's size and tonnage doom him to be a good outside top defender.
But like most "heavy fronts", there is tonnage, and some flexibility and speed will inevitably be lost, not everyone is like LeBron's weird guy, that weight, but there is still that flexibility and speed.
Precisely defending Kevin Durant, flexibility is a little more important than tonnage.
Otherwise......
With a "double change of direction", Anthony was completely out of place with Kevin Durant, watching him complete a dashing high jump shot next to him.
With such a long height, he can complete such a coordinated jump shot.
Blame, monster!
Kevin Durant made the '03 "Peerless Twins" feel his inhuman side......
Let the genius feel the genius, this is the "Grim Reaper" Durant!
Anthony soon discovered that his little defensive ability was simply not enough in front of Kevin Durant.
Let's use a better offense to fight against him!
Anthony's scoring ability is doubtful, but against the crazy Durant, after a while, he found that he seemed to be ...... It's getting downwind......
In terms of scoring explosiveness, the two are actually about the same, but in terms of incomprehension, Kevin Durant is still above Carmelo Anthony.
The point is, that "Grim Reaper" scythe is too sharp!
In the end, Kevin Durant scored 40 points in a single game, including 35 points in the first three quarters and only five points in the final quarter......
It's not that Kevin Durant's hand is dumb, it's his physical ......
Not enough!
The only thing that can guard Kevin Durant, whether now or in the future, may be his physical fitness......
However, Kevin Durant's physical fitness is poor, so we have to talk about his height, no matter how coordinated his limbs are, he is still 2.11 meters tall.
It is impossible to do these unbelievable outside actions at such a height, and the physical consumption is not large!
No matter what God does, he has to leave a tooth mark on the "apple......
Just like LeBron, who has no body to solve and has a self-disciplined style, it is a truth that his "big heart" has been taken away.
But before Kevin Durant's fitness problems, the Thunder had opened up a 10-point deficit.
Under the leadership of the "Grim Reaper", other "talent monsters" of the Thunder team also showed their talents.
Just like Yoon Bacca, Griffin was defended very well in this game.
Griffin, who averaged 23.4 points per game in the first five games, only scored 17 points in this game.
Yoon Bhaka made five blocks in this game.
As the Clippers' two "scoring mainstays", Carmelo Anthony failed to surpass Kevin Durant, and Griffin was limited. The beep sounded, and at the end of the game, the Clippers also lost Game 6 of the series by 8 points, 101-109.
The big score was a 3-3 draw.
Kevin Durant made good on his promise and brought the series back to Oklahoma.
And that's not the end......
It's the beginning!
Kevin Durant, who scored 40 points in the last game, continued to maintain an excellent hand in this game, and three consecutive three-pointers shot the Clippers away.
Carmelo Anthony's career ended in tragedy, and there is another key factor, the more critical the battle, the more he can't stand up.
If he scored 33 points in a single game and Kevin Durant's 40 points in the last game, it can be said that he is not left behind. So after the first quarter of this game, Anthony with 5 points in a single quarter and Kevin Durant with 15 points in a single quarter really have a sharp contrast......
So much so that at the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led by 8 points.
This advantage made the Thunder fans excited all over the court, the home court advantage was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, the cheers on the scene were higher than a while, forming a burst of "sound waves", the Thunder team as a representative team of "league youth", also showed their infinite vitality at this moment, it is really how loud the cheers on the scene are, how fierce their firepower at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Billups stepped up at the critical moment and tried to take over the Clippers' offensive end to stabilize the situation, but after only two rounds, he couldn't hold on.
"Flounder" is the team's final bottom line, and when Billups is also messed up, the Clippers are completely messed up.
The Thunder defeated the Clippers by 99-80, 19 points, and won 4-3 on their home court to reach the final Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row......
yes!
Kevin Durant clenched his fists hard, jumped up excitedly, and threw a punch into the air.
His excited appearance was in stark contrast to Anthony's iron-looking expression. Sure enough, the smile doesn't go away, it just shifts from one person's face to another's.
That's why Lu Xun said that the joys and sorrows between people are not the same.
Kevin Durant celebrates and wants to find Anthony for a hug.
He could feel it himself that his performance in the last two games of the series was different from the previous five. The fact that he can have this form has a lot to do with Carmelo Anthony pushing him into a corner.
If he ends up winning the championship this season, he'll add Carmelo Anthony's name to thank everyone.
Besides, he felt that he had a relationship with Anthony.
Kevin Durant's first game of his career faced Anthony.
In that game, "Melon" let him see the ability of the NBA's top scorer, and he was directly stunned!
Now he has been forced out of the "strongest combat force", saying that "Anthony is Durant's guide", even Kevin Durant himself feels that it is very reasonable!
It's just that Anthony obviously doesn't have such a mood, how beautiful the fantasy picture is at 3-2, how lost he is at the moment.
What's more......
In the last two games of this series, the biggest "pot", he has to carry it himself!
Against Kevin Durant, he fell into the disadvantage all the way, which gave his self-esteem a big blow, you know, he thought the reason why the team lost last year was not that he couldn't, but that his teammates couldn't.
But now, Kevin Durant has given him a "big smack" with his actual performance.
I don't know if the rest of the Clippers can do it, but you Carmelo Anthony, not very well!
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
The cheers of the audience gradually unified, and Kevin Durant stood in center of the stage, enjoying the cheers of all the Thunder fans, and the moment was ...... He's like a god of war.
And in the last two games of the series, he did perform like a god of war!
The two spots in the Western Conference Finals are hereby determined:
The Spurs, who are first in the West in the regular season, vs the Thunder, who are second in the West!
In the East, the Bulls and Heat also had results......
4-2!
The Heat defeated the Bulls to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
Derrick Rose's performance is actually very good, averaging 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in 6 games, an absolute MVP-level performance.
But this performance was still not enough for the Bulls to win the series against the Heat.
The two teams drew 2-2, Wade and LeBron broke out on the road, the former scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, and the latter scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the first three quarters.
"Jenway" wasn't done yet, Chris Bosh also shot 3-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 18 points in the game...... This score is not much for the "giants", but in the second season of the "Big Three", after everyone understands the ability that Chris Bosh can play under this system, Chris Bosh scored 18 points, which is enough to say "well done"!
The "Big Three" all played up, and even with Derrick Rose scoring a series-high 39 points in this game, the Bulls still swallowed a loss at home.
The result of the "Three British Battles against Lu Bu" was that "Lu Bu" was defeated and retreated.
What's more, Derrick Rose does not have the courage of "Lu Bu......
The Heat, who returned to their home court, took advantage of the victory and won the sixth game of the series.
For the second year in a row, the Eastern Conference Finals will be staged in New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat!
It is also known that before entering the finals, there is still a big battle waiting for them, and on the night when the Miami Heat eliminated the Bulls, the "Big Three" looked less excited, but more serious and serious.
To be honest, meeting the New York Knicks this season will definitely have a better chance of winning than meeting the New York Knicks last season.
But the problem is that in the first two rounds, the New York Knicks, who looked inferior to last season, still reached the final Eastern Conference Finals with only one loss.
Among the defeated teams, there are even powerful "bosses" like the Magic team! - Last season, the Nets and the Heat played inextricably in the playoffs, but such a team was eliminated by the Magic 4-1, I thought the Magic team was strong enough, but it turned out to be 4-1, and the New York Knicks beat them quickly, easily like pinching an ant to death!
Even this ant, as everyone knows, is a "man-eating ant......
No, there are media who issue "soul torture" there:
Is this season's New York Knicks really easier to beat than last season?
A: Before the New York Knicks lost, I'm afraid no one knew!
The only thing LeBron James, Wade, and Chris Bosh know is ......
If they still stop in the Eastern Conference Finals this season, what awaits them will inevitably be endless ridicule and ...... Forever nailed to the pillar of shame!
On May 15, the day before the Eastern Conference Finals began, the league's "lottery meeting" was held as scheduled.
The Hornets, who have just changed their bosses, like to mention the "champion sign".
The Hornets have only the third-to-last record in the league this season, starting with "Boss Joe's" Bobcats.
It is reasonable for these two teams to get the "champion sign", but Li Wan, who knows David Stern's urine very well, knows very well that there is definitely an operation of "Lord President" in this.
David Stern's urine sex is to "push" the boat with the current.
Anyway, the difference between "Boss Qiao" and whether he gets the champion or not is not very big.
It's really not black, the current long-awaited "thick eyebrows" Anthony Davis, in Jordan's eyes, really doesn't necessarily look good!
May 16th.
The day after the Heat arrived in New York, the Eastern Conference Finals arrived as scheduled.
The first thing that night was the "Regular Season MVP" award ceremony!
It's been a few days since this award was announced, but for Knicks management and New York fans, if it's just Li Wan silently receiving the official courier from the league.
So what is the difference between this award and not?
The most important thing is that Li Wan received the "regular season MVP" trophy last year, not at home in New York, and if they miss it this year, they can't stand it.
It's the same from Li Wan's point of view, brocade clothes walk at night, isn't that just no clothes?
Before the Eastern Conference Finals, Li Wan specially received the second regular season MVP trophy of his career at home!
Compared with last year's regular season MVP trophy, this trophy is undoubtedly more golden......
After all, the New York Knicks' lineup is there, and it's hard not to win!
If Li Wan hadn't averaged a triple-double per game, his personal bonus would definitely not be as good as the team's bonus.
This season is different, "single-core leading" to win the first place in the East in the regular season, and this alone is enough for him to beat other contenders.
Li Wan's 95% vote rate this season also proves this.
The DJ at the scene cheered one after another, completely crazy, and began to show talent "report the name of the dish": "Now standing in front of you is the 2007 ......"
The speed of speech is comparable to that of Mu Ye singing "Rap God......
The atmosphere is full all at once.
The Knicks aggressively took the first offense.
The big screen on the scene repeated the starting lineups of both teams again:
"Heat: No. 1 Chalmers, No. 2 Wade, No. 3 LeBron James, No. 4 Chris Bosh, No. 5 Joel Anthony;"
"Knicks: No. 1 Levan, No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Artest, No. 4 Lewis, No. 5 Tyson Chandler;"
Li Wan went to the frontcourt, and Chalmers intercepted him as the first line of defense, and his confrontation was fierce, much fiercer than the description of this guy in the scouting report. Li Wan simply carried it on his back.
The thick body made the 1.88-meter-old Chalmers lose his temper at once.
It is the natural advantage of enough "capital"!
As long as you have enough height and tonnage, as well as static talent and anti-interference, it is actually a matter of turning around......
What?
You say that someone who can't move 2.03 meters can't move a dwarf who doesn't have 1.80 meters?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, you have the ability, you say the name of that person!
Chalmers lost his temper, and secretly muttered in his heart:
Is that why I didn't end up being Li Wan?
After entering the league for so many years, the "talent monsters" around him have been reminding Chalmers all the time why he has become mediocre after entering the league.
This is just another time!
Slowly move to the top of the arc, waiting for Ray Allen to get around the vacant position, Wade's defensive ability is very strong, and in the second position, it may be that "Master Joe" can press him, and even Kobe, compared with him, is not as good.
But Wade doesn't mean he doesn't have his shortcomings on the defensive end.
For example, his off-ball defensive ability is much worse than his performance against the ball carrier.
Later, against Stephen Curry, he also said more than once that Curry is harder to defend without the ball than Curry with the ball......
It can be seen that his ability to defend without the ball is indeed relatively weak!
It is mainly reflected in the defensive awareness......
One round-the-cover, coupled with two decisive and quick counter-runs, Ray Allen successfully pocketed an open space outside the right three-point line, and Li Wan also "dealt cards at the top of the arc" at this time, giving the ball to Ray Allen's hands.
"Huh!"
Arrested!
3-0!
The Heat fight back.
Compared with last season, the most obvious change in the Heat team is that LeBron James no longer hesitates when receiving the ball, and he is also very skilled in directing his teammates to run after receiving the ball.
Artest continued to create confrontations with him, LeBron James glanced at the basket, and when he saw the empty space under the basket, he also immediately exerted his strength, and the terrifying explosiveness made him speed up suddenly. During the confrontation, Artest felt an unstoppable impact and rushed him to the side.
This feeling is very foreign to him!
He was stunned for a moment, and could only watch LeBron James rush to the basket.
Tyson Chandler watched the "little emperor" domineering crush under the basket, and when he wanted to make up for it, it was too late.
"Phew!"
One-armed buckle!
LeBron James only used this one goal to show his domineering at his peak to the fullest......
What is the "ultimate in physical fitness"!
In the history of the NBA, Shaq O'Neal on the inside and LeBron James on the outside, these two people are absolutely unique in their impact under the basket!
Li Wan looked at LeBron's domineering button, and also knew that LeBron James, who was at his peak, was officially launched!
"My, my!"
Artest finally reacted, raised his hand to signal to his teammates, and said "sorry".
It was the turn of the New York Knicks to attack again, Li Wan went to the front court, quickly called Tyson Chandler's block, and successfully got to the basket for the first time, Li Wan gave the ball to Tyson Chandler.
Old Anthony really dared to resist!
is 2.06 meters tall, but is not afraid of Tyson Chandler, who is 2.16 meters, just between the "boxing champion" and the basket.
For a player like him, if he wants to survive in the league, there is only one way to go.
Even though it has become a background board many times, old Anthony is still in front of him for the first time at this moment.
"Phew!"
The sound of a dunk exploded above his head.
Tyson Chandler's slam dunk allowed the cheers of the entire scene to regain the "mountain and tsunami" of the opening.
It can be clearly seen through the replay that after Chandler and Anthony had a confrontation in the air, his body did not shake, and his hands were more forceful, and he smashed the ball into the basket.
When Kenny Smith saw this goal, he immediately thought of Jordan Jr.'s "death dunk" this season...... However, compared to Jordan Jr.'s guard who was Knight at the time, Tyson Chandler played against a "pure" big center.
It's more difficult, so it's more visually striking.
The impact of LeBron James' dunk disappeared in this moment.
5-2 lead.
The Heat still gave LeBron James the right to handle the ball.
At the same time as the "Little Emperor" got the ball, Artest's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was even more energetic to fight with LeBron James.
This time, Artest's entire cheek was bulging, obviously ruthless, but the result was ......
LeBron James still seized on a momentary misalignment, squeezed Artest, and completed the bombardment of the basket, this time Tyson Chandler predicted in advance, quickly made up the defense in place, and interfered successfully.
Chris Bosh got the rebound in the duel and the second offense successfully completed the goal.
4-5!
D'Antoni's expression began to become serious.
Although before the start of this series, the general opinion of the coaching staff was that Artest's current state would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of LeBron at the peak, Artest's decline in defensive deterrence this season is obvious.
You don't even have to look at the data to see it.
Not to mention the coaching staff who spend all day staring at the data.
It's just that when all this really happened, D'Antoni was still unconsciously worried. Fortunately, Li Wan had already given him the second "tip", and thinking that the coaching staff had prepared a contingency plan, D'Antoni was a lot more relieved.
On the field, Li Wan patted Artest on the back.
Forced by LeBron James twice in a row, Artest received a strong impact.
Ever since Artest started playing, he hasn't been beaten up by anyone else......
No way!
Artest shook his arm, he had to be a little harder!
