The passionate Kevin Garnett then contributed on the defensive end.

Under Li Wan's close entanglement, Paul Pierce, who looked embarrassed, finally twisted out of the space, and just about to shoot in the face of the basket, he was slapped by the "Wolf King" head-on.

What is "the first sword ashore, the first to kill the person you like"!

After covering Kevin Garnett, he didn't dare to look at Pierce, pretended not to know, and slipped past him.

If you change someone else, you can't beat your chest again and roar!

It was Pierce, after all, this was the man who made him give up his trade veto and go to the Nets with him. Although it is not on the same team now, there will be a little bit of ......

If you can't blush when you say goodbye, you can only blush~

Bill Wharton "tsk" out: "I have to admit that the New York Knicks' defensive suppression this season is really terrifying!" ”

The New York Knicks have conceded an average of just 88.6 points per game in November, ranking among the top 4 teams in the league for the fewest points conceded, and they have conceded the fewest points of any of the 10 teams that have scored more than 100 points per game!

The most significant change for the New York Knicks this season is to improve their defensive pressure while maintaining their firepower.

In the course of Lee Wan's single-handedly defense of Paul Pierce in this round, Kevin Garnett suddenly added to the defensive strategy, and the New York Knicks have tried and tested this season......

Especially when Li Wan is entangled with his opponent, this defensive strategy is even more effective.

At the same time, teammates help to make up for the defense, which can also make Li Wan's opponent appear anxious, which greatly increases the probability of his frontal steals, averaging 3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in November, which is how it came!

As of this game, all the players opposite Li Wan have not exceeded 40% of the average shooting rate per game!

Including Kobe Bryant......

He...... Not alone!

The strength of the defensive end has also made the New York Knicks the team with the highest success rate of defensive counterattacks this season.

In this game with the Nets, this characteristic is also reflected, the first quarter of the game is not over, and the New York Knicks have completed at least four ~ five successful defensive counterattacks.

In this regard alone, the New York Knicks have scored in double figures.

At this moment, the New York Knicks also led 20-10.

It's time for the Nets to step up and stabilize the game......

Then Kevin Garnett's familiar scene played out again:

Chris Paul single-handedly put the team on his shoulders and Paul Pierce spread his hands next to him, and the point difference was called "getting bigger".

12 points, 15 points, 17 points......

Looking at the widening point difference, Kevin Garnett, who still felt guilty about his good brother at that time, looked at the Nets with chicken feathers, and suddenly only rejoiced in his heart.

Fortunately, the buddy sneaked away, with these two people as teammates, he won't be able to win the championship even in 2023!

The Nets ended up losing their first "New York derby" in Brooklyn by 86-110, 24 points.

As soon as the game ended, Kevin Garnett went to Paul Pierce and wanted to have a parting hug in the parting arena, but Pierce was not in the mood to touch him at all at this time, he wanted to go to the hotel now, call the group of dancers, and start a live broadcast to accuse Kevin Garnett of betraying him!

Li Wan got another 27 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game.

However, there were not many reporters discussing the game after the game......

It was so easy to win that Paul Pierce and Chris Paul couldn't discuss it with him.

What's more, in the next game, the New York Knicks will face no one else, but ......

Orlando Magic!

With the New York Knicks playing a dominant performance on the defensive end in November, Li Wan himself is also extremely brilliant on the defensive end, and the voice of "Li Wan won the Defensive Player of the Season Award" is getting louder and louder!

Howard was naturally unhappy, and after the first "mouth cannon", he expressed his desire to win back the "Best Defensive Player Award" in front of the camera several times......

Just in terms of the current situation......

Li Wan has become more and more active in the competition for the "Best Defensive Player Award"!

One is the defensive quality of the New York Knicks this season, which is definitely one of the best in the league; Second, Li Wan's personal defense is also significantly different from the past few years. - The outside core of almost every game of the New York Knicks this season has been defended by Li Wan, and the effect is remarkable.

The league officials have always liked new people and things.

Take the All-Star re-entry as an example, the same data, the same performance, the 34-year-old veteran, if it is not at the level of President Mountain, basically the league will choose the younger one.

Of course......

In addition to liking new people and things, another reason is that the exposure of the league is inseparable from controversial gimmicks, take the 2023 Harden not being selected as an All-Star, the discussion of losing the election is definitely higher than the discussion of being selected!

It's the same now, compared to Howard, who has won the "Best Defensive Player Award" 3 times, Li Wan, who must have won the "Best Defensive Award" for the first time, can make others talk about it.

In addition, it has been a long time since an outside player in this league won the "Best Defensive Player Award", and Li Wan is so hot that he is about to win the "three consecutive championships" and become another "god" player after Shaq O'Neal.

Who do you think the league will give this award to?

Naturally, it's the one with a higher degree of topic!

Not to mention, if Li Wan wins the "Defensive Player of the Season Award", he will step on Howard to take the position, which makes Li Wan win this award even more, full of traffic.

The attitude of the alliance does not lie.

On December 3, the New York Knicks hosted the Orlando Magic, and the league temporarily adjusted it to "national live broadcast".

Originally, the Knicks and the Magic had a "national live broadcast", but that was when Li Wan returned to the Magic's home court in January.

Now because of the dispute over the "Best Defensive Player of the Season" award, the conflict between Li Wan and Howard has caused a large number of "melon-eating crowds" to watch, and the league simply put the "first episode" of the "Best Defensive Player Award" on the shelves in advance! - Originally, they wanted to see if the Magic team was qualified to be the opponent of the New York Knicks this season.

Although the Magic currently have a good record, sitting third in the East, holding the Bulls under them, behind the New York Knicks and Heat......

Well, you can always trust Steve Nash's ability to lead the team during the regular season.

Before the game began, it was obvious that Howard's expression was different from before, not to mention giggling, not even smiling, and even practicing free throws there.

It's this "clang" sound......

Stan Van Gundy quickly asked his assistant to stop him.

What the hell are you......

Do you want your opponent to remember that you can use the "Chop" tactic against you?

Let's have a snack!

How old are these years?

Howard scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw the assistant coach's dissuasion: "Man, I really practiced free throws in the summer, trust me!" ”

The teaching assistant was not surprised at all: "I know, three days, or four days, or five days?" ”

He knows Howard's character very well, belonging to "three days of fishing, two days of drying nets", he must have practiced, but he definitely didn't practice much, and it is estimated that he will give up in a few days.

The embarrassed smile that reappeared on Howard's face proved that he had guessed correctly......

"Warcraft" is also very helpless, obviously when he "quenched his body", he was very patient, how could he run to the free throw line, and there was no qualitative at all?

With Li Wan appearing, Howard gave up thinking about this question and his expression became serious again.

Since Li Wan won the championship again last season, "Warcraft" understands that it is a little difficult for him to catch up with Li Wan in terms of the number of championships...... Even if he doesn't want to admit that after leaving Li Wan, the road to the NBA is indeed a lot more difficult, but he also knows that with the current lineup of the Magic team, it is a shame to want to win the championship in this "giant era" where the demons are dancing!

But......

If you can't win the championship, he admits it!

But defense has always been what he is best at, and in this matter, Li Wan suddenly launched an "impact" on him, and he did not allow himself to lose to Li Wan in this matter!

This time, fighting for his pride, he's going to fight hard!

The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides at this time:

"New York Knicks: Beverley at No. 1, Danny Green at No. 2, Lewan at No. 3, Kevin Garnett at No. 4, Tyson Chandler at No. 5!"

The Magic didn't make much changes this summer.

The starting line-up was the same as last season:

"Steve Nash at No. 1, Joe Johnson at No. 2, Tekoglou at No. 3, Anderson at No. 4, Howard at No. 5;"

The biggest gimmick of this game is the battle between Howard and Lee Wan for the "Best Defensive Player Award".

Therefore, as soon as he came up, the "Wolf King" faced Anderson with the ball and scored 2 points with an easy turnover jumper.

The ball was scored in front of Anderson, but his eyes looked at Howard: Come on, come and make up for me, such defensive quality, do you still want to win the best defensive player award from my Giegie?

Howard, who was provoked, was very angry, and his palms became more and more itchy, and Steve Nash saw this in his eyes and shouted: "Run!" ”

It's just that the rest of the Magic team is running, but he ......

was stopped by Beverley in the backcourt, and the speed changed several times before rushing from Beverley's stalking to the frontcourt.

But at this time, the New York Knicks were all in position, guarding the joint defense, and were waiting for him.

Look at the "Twin Towers" of New York on the left and right sides of the basket. No matter how eager Howard is, Steve Nash can only throw the ball into the hands of the "Eagle King" on the wing and let him single.

Don't, don't, don't!

Joe Johnson frantically waved his hand, but the ball was still in his hands.

Looking at him confidently staring at him, it was as if to say, "Come on, brother?" Li Wan put on a posture, and he had an urge to lie down immediately.

In the playoffs last season, in the face of Li Wan's defense, he directly lost his self-confidence.

So much so that in this game, he didn't have the slightest desire to hold the ball.

On the night when his desire to attack was the least strong, the first attack of the Magic team was handed over to him to deal with!

"The only hope for the whole team" is really not good!

Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of Howard who wanted the ball inside, and immediately started in a "triple threat stance", deceived a passing space, and immediately hit the ball and stuffed it towards the inside.

Can......

"Smack!"

One arm intercepts the ball directly.

Advance prediction from Danny Green.

The steal was successful, and he also glanced at Joe Johnson.

I don't understand it all over my face......

No!

We're all standing together, how dare you pass the ball like that?

Are you looking down on our defense?

Joe Johnson looked at him with a burst of absurdity:

Is this too easy to steal?

It's too easy to steal, isn't it?

No......

It's so easy, you don't have to steal!

While stealing, you think I'm passing the ball, right?

Wow, I've been playing for so many years and I've never been so insulted!

Joe Johnson chased Danny Green and went. But the ball had already been transferred from Green's hand to Li Wan's hand at this time, and there was an exclamation on the sidelines, Li Wan subconsciously turned his head and glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and saw the "Warcraft" that was rushing wildly.

To say that this Howard dynamic talent is indeed top-notch.

The height of the number five position, but the speed is comparable to that of the average sporty striker.

Pity......

Li Wan is much faster than the average sporty striker.

"Phew!"

One-handed split slam for easy scoring.

4-0！

Howard, who rushed wildly, watched Li Wan complete the violent dunk, which caused the audience to cheer.

It is worth mentioning that reporters on the sidelines recorded this photo, and a few years later, this photo also became the best "silent interpretation" of the gap between Howard and Li Wan.

Once again, it was the Magic's turn to attack.

Beverley still used his backcourt to bite and force Steve Nash to slow down his pace into the frontcourt.

And after he passed halftime, the New York Knicks set up a defensive formation again.

It's a well-known fact that when Steve Nash can't pull the rhythm up, his impact on the court as the No. 1 position is cut in half.

Stan Van Gundy watched as Howard forced a missed shot under the basket, and Tyson Chandler took the rebound and looked back at Beverley with a dumbfounded expression.

He really didn't expect it......

Someone can restrain Steve Nash in such a way!

This guy's full-court entanglement ability is awesome!

As a defensive specialist, Beverley has the urge to make Stan Van Gundy drool.

In fact, Beverley's defensive ability is certainly great, but it is not to the point where he can limit Steve Nash to this appearance. The most critical issue with the effect being so obvious lies with Steve Nash himself.

He's 38 years old!

There is a saying that "boxers are afraid of being young and strong", and at this age he met Beverley, the most unreasonable No. 1 defense in the league......

This game is enough for Steve Nash to suffer!

This is also reflected in these two rounds. In the face of Beverley's close defense, Steve Nash struggled through the half. Now he still has some physical energy, what about when he consumes it for a longer time?

Hey~

Beverley showed a rustic smile, but in the eyes of Steve Nash, it was tantamount to a "devil's smile".

The New York Knicks looked at the retreating Magic team, and their expressions seemed to say:

That's it?

Before the start of this game, D'Antoni stressed several times that the defensive end should always play with momentum.

This makes the New York Knicks think that the Magic team is a tough nut to bite, but in the current situation, it's all right!

Are you sure you're already pushing hard?

We haven't even made any effort on our side, and they seem to be about to fall?

All right......

Mostly D'Antoni, including Mike Brown, didn't expect Beverley's tangled defense to have this good effect on Steve Nash.

The New York Knicks are putting more energy on the offensive end.

Kevin Garnett continued to challenge Howard with the ball under the basket.

"Warcraft" made up this time, with a big hat that covered the sky and the sun, proving the gold content of his three-time "Defensive Player of the Season Award".

Just as he was about to shout "Magic's basket, don't come to challenge", a figure grabbed the ball he had covered and rushed straight in front of him.

"Phew!"

Howard felt like his whole head was "buzzing."

At the same time, the body involuntarily fell out of the field.

Amid the earth-shattering cheers of the audience, he looked at the figure whose hands were released from the basket.

New York Knicks No. 25 ......

Li Wan!

“MVP！”

“MVP！”

“MVP！”

He just stood like this, condescendingly looking at Howard who was sitting on the ground, listening to the shouts of the audience at this moment, in Howard's eyes, Li Wan was like a god!

Even a voice sounded inside Howard:

Challenge him......

How dare you?

The atmosphere of the scene reached its climax, and in this burst of cheers, the momentum of the New York Knicks easily overwhelmed the Magic team.

And sometimes, this competition is about who has more energy!

The New York Knicks were in complete control of the rhythm until the end, when they won 120-89, 31 points, ending this "All-American live".

At the same time, the battle for the "Defensive Player of the Season" award has basically come to an end.

Anyway, just the result of this game......

Levan made four steals and three blocks on the defensive end, defending the opposing Joe Johnson from just 6-of-19 shooting and committing five turnovers. Compared to the defensive answer he handed in, Howard only had 2 blocks and 1 steal in this game, and Tyson Chandler, who was opposite him, shot 60% from the field in this game!

At the same time, at least 70% of the New York Knicks' scoring in this game came from the basket.

Howard is very good at defending the first basket impact, but who made his partner Anderson, a "high battery" who has no ability to grab the board at all?

The advantage in rebounding gave the Knicks a lot more "second offensive opportunities" in this game.

When you finally intercept the first line of defense and turn your head to face the "air attack" of Lewan or Tyson Chandler on the basket, not to mention that Howard is a "monster", even if it is "Superman", it can't be stopped......

Whether it was Leewan's impact or Tyson Chandler's height, when they jumped up and were already close to the "bombing range", Howard was buried with the basket in addition to getting out of the way.

Li Wan's "Riding Howard" who scored the "Top Five Goals of the Day" is the best proof.

Beverly also received a lot of attention this night.

Steve Nash, if you want to say that you blew him up, it's not unusual, most of the No. 1 positions in this league are waiting for the night of "Christmas" against Steve Nash!

But if you can limit his performance on the offensive end, then ......

It will definitely cause a lot of discussion!

The two-time regular season MVP is in his own system, no matter what kind of defender he faces, he can always play with ease, after all, he is not fighting alone, and his pick-and-roll usage rate has always been high in the league's guard line.

It's really hard to limit him in such a situation!

But now Beverly has done it!

It also made his defensive position in the No. 1 position rise again.

But at the same time, there is another voice that is getting louder:

Steve Nash is really old!

The reason is also simple......

Beverley's way of guarding him is not a very unexpected move, but a "close entanglement" on the bad street, even if Beverley himself is already at the top of the league in this regard, but if Steve Nash was limited by full-court entanglement, how could he win two regular season MVPs.

There will be parallel imports for champions, including Finals MVPs, who are likely to have less high-quality winners, only regular season MVPs...... Those who can win this award are definitely not ordinary people!

Bill Wharton also said at the end of the game: "It is foreseeable that in the coming period, other teams will target Steve Nash in the same way!" ”

After all, this is the lifeblood of the Magic team!

The Magic, who are among the top 4 in the league in points per game this season, ended up scoring just 89 points in this game with Steve Nash being guarded...... It can be seen that Steve Nash's influence on the Magic team.

To say that Bill Wharton's foresight is really not covered.

The Magic have only 3 wins and 3 losses in their next 6 games.

Many teams are starting to be like the New York Knicks, with full-court marking and all kinds of close confrontations.

Steve Nash's performance also became a "barometer" for the Magic, and when these close confrontations left him underpared, the Magic lost all!

The Magic's standings were also quickly overtaken by the Bulls after these six games and fell to fourth place in the East.

Howard was a little confused.

In the battle with the New York Knicks, he not only lost the chips in the competition for the "Defensive Player of the Season" award, but also lost the position of the "top three" in the East......

Is this Li Wan really beating me?

It's no wonder that "Warcraft" thinks so!

Because he found that once he grabbed something with Li Wan, something unfortunate would happen to the team and him immediately!

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that he grabbed the position of the boss of the Magic team, and as soon as he grabbed it, the Magic team immediately fell from the position of the league's strong powerhouse, and he also changed from the top five position in the league, the future "center façade", to a "out-of-fashion Internet celebrity" that no one cares about......

Could it be that Li Wanhui will be witchcraft?

After the New York Knicks won against the Magic, they won another "three-game winning streak" before losing to the Grizzlies in "back-to-back" games and losing the first game in December.

To say that the Grizzlies have played really well this season, and are currently in fourth place in the West.

Iguodala's arrival has brought not only changes to this team on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, such as strategy, passing and teamwork, all of which have been greatly improved because of his arrival.

If you want to talk about the person "First Brother", as long as you don't let him be the "Big Brother", he can give the league's first-class performance in other aspects.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with you saying that these abilities of his are practiced in the position of "big brother".

The 76ers did spend a lot of time on him and let him grow. Generally, players with the attribute of "second master" really don't have such a growth environment as him.

That's why it's so important to be top-notch!

If you can't be a "big master", you can be a "second master".

Just like Grant Hill, whose body has been scrapped, he can still rely on defense to gain a foothold in the league at the end of his career.

In addition, Mike Conley's growth this season is also the reason why the Grizzlies can climb to fourth place in the West.

So far this season, he has averaged 21.4 points, 7.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game, averaging 20 plus per game n years ahead of schedule, becoming another representative player of the league's "offensive No. 1 position".

His resurgence has taken a lot of pressure off Zach Randolph and allowed him to be more comfortable on the inside.

He averaged 22.4 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this season.

When a team has a dual core inside and outside, it is destined to be a difficult team to beat, and even if this game is not "back-to-back", it will take a lot of effort for the New York Knicks to win......

Of course, this law ......

Except for the Kings!

Tyrick Evans, who has not deviated, averaged 21.5 points and 5.6 assists per game, plus his "cousin" who has grown up to average 17.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, but he still can't make this team rise, and they are still the belly of the West this season.

Assembling Adelman and the "Gorgeous King" seems to have spent all of the city's luck.

On December 16, the New York Knicks beat the Kings 115-98, 17 points, avoiding a "two-game losing streak", and then left for San Antonio, and on December 18, they continued to challenge their rival Spurs away!

As the "senior wheelchair car" that will be completely old on the ESPN list before the start of the new season, the Spurs' "troika" has once again shocked the league.

So far, Tony Parker is averaging 20.8 points and 7.6 assists per game, Tim Duncan is averaging 17.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, and Manu Ginobili is averaging 11.8 points and 4.6 assists per game......

Just looking at the data, you don't know what the Old Man of Time took away from them......

Especially that Spurs No. 21 named Tim Duncan.

Do you think you're a rookie this season?

Hey, hey, hey!

You're the top pick in '97, and you entered the league after graduating from your senior year, it's been 15 years, and you're still averaging 17.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game......

What are you doing?

Such a top-notch performance, coupled with the fact that the Spurs are still ranked second in the West, has made many media outlets praise Tim Duncan.

Special mention was made of Tim Duncan's age......

It's really rare to have this kind of performance and ability to lead the team at the age of 36!

If you don't consider the record, you won't be able to average 30 points per game!

When Kevin Garnett saw these reports, he would be very unconvinced when he returned: "Who is not 36 years old!" ”

So far this season, the "Wolf King" has averaged 13.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 50%!

The performance is very comprehensive......

There are far fewer media to boast of him than Kwartim Duncan's......

No way!

Although he is in New York, the exposure of the New York media is focused on Li Wan. After all, this is the "child of destiny" that the New York Knicks have not had in the 40 years since it was established, and there is really no one else in the eyes of the New York media at this moment.

All the glory of New York, in the eyes of this group of New York media, is brought by Li Wan......

Kevin Garnett......

Don't blame Li Wan!

Between good brothers, don't worry so clearly.

However, he did not allow Tim Duncan to be so showy.

As for the feud between them, it really has been going on for a long time, and if you have to give it time, Kevin Garnett remembers that it was a regular season game in the 2001-02 season, and he was ejected from both games after scolding Tim Duncan.

Since then, Kevin Garnett has looked down on Tim Duncan, and of course, he also knows that Tim Duncan also looks down on him.

Let's see, 36-year-old me and 36-year-old Tim Duncan, who is the strongest 36-year-old!

Kevin Garnett was ambitious, and he was in great shape for the away game against the Spurs, hitting two consecutive turnaround jumpers.

Gave the New York Knicks an opening lead.

It's just that when he played 8 minutes and 15 seconds in the first quarter, Li Wan accidentally twisted his ankle and had to leave the court for inspection.

After that, the Spurs gradually took the initiative, and at 5:14 in the second quarter, they led by nine points.

"Coach, I'm really fine, I'm fine!"

"No, you're injured, it's serious, you have to keep watching!"

"I'm really fine, coach, you see that I can still jump small, if you still don't believe it, I can still jump big!"

"Even if you dance a little swan dance today, you will be seriously injured and unable to play in my place!"

“……”

At halftime, at the strong request of Li Wan, he finally watched from the sidelines, watching the New York Knicks lose to the Spurs 98-109.

Tim Duncan scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, beating Kevin Garnett's 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, winning both the game and the numbers.

When the final whistle blew, a sullen smile appeared on his lips.

Li Wan saw it in his eyes, and it was not strange at that time, why did Crawford give him a T, just this smiling smile, if Li Wan was Crawford, he would directly arrange a "lifetime ban" for him.

"Are you alright, man?"

Kevin Garnett's expression couldn't hide his frustration, but when he walked in front of Li Wan, his expression immediately turned into worry, and at the same time, there was a little bit of nervousness.

He was won by Tim Duncan, and it wasn't a big deal.

Especially compared to Li Wan's injury, it is not even Mao.

It's not like I've lost once or twice over the years, not bad this time, but if Li Wan is seriously injured, then he won't be able to win the championship again this season......

At his age, how many years can he fight as the main force?

You can't really wait for the 39-year-old to sit on the water cooler and shake a white towel to win the championship, right?

"No big deal!"

Li Wan's answer reassured him.

"Smack!"

Li Wan slapped him again.

Kevin Garnett looked at Li Wan with some confusion. Is it that I don't care enough to keep me caring?

"Don't worry too much, we lost tonight, next time we will win it back together!"

His cranky thoughts were interrupted by Li Wan, and this passage was like a warm current, which made Kevin Garnett's whole body warm.

He really ......

I'm crying to death!

Li Wan is really my good brother!

At this moment, Li Wan's brother value in Kevin Garnett's heart is added to 10086.

Early the next morning, Donnie Walsh took Li Wan to the best orthopedic hospital in New York to shoot a film, and after confirming that it was only a slight sprain, he was finally relieved.

As the results came out, there were countless New York fans who were relieved.

Li Wan was injured and retired at that time, but it frightened them!

"It's just a minor sprain, but we have to take it seriously and treat it like a foot injury that has been going on all season. You must not let Li Wan score on the court with an injury......"

Although there was no problem, Donnie Walsh held a two-person meeting with D'Antoni, and they finally agreed to give Li Wanduo a two-game break.

Anyway, there's nothing hard to gnaw on.

And with the current record of the New York Knicks, it is enough to deal with the worst plan of not having Li Wan on the floor these days.

No wonder they will be so cautious, during the critical period of the "Triple Crown", any wrong step, they may become the sinners of the whole of New York.

And with the tempers of the New York fans, once they become sinners, the city will not be able to stay......

In this way, Li Wan learned what it means to "have a kind of rest, so that the head coach thinks you have to rest!" ”

But these days, he can concentrate on negotiating a new contract with Nike.

His new contract with Nike expired this summer.

Although at the first time, Nike sent a representative to complete the renewal of the contract immediately, but Taryn chose to wait and see the offers of other sneaker brands in line with the principle of maximizing profits, which was also to force Nike's most sincere offer.

To say that Tyron's trick really worked.

At the beginning, Nike gave a 10-year contract extension of 300 million, which is a sky-high contract for a player. Even Taryn was a little excited.

But Adidas shot at this time......

They promised to set up an independent sub-brand for Li Wan, just like Nike's AJ, and let Li Wan have the right to operate independently.

When Nike learned the news, he was stunned......

They are well aware that Adi did it on purpose.

The purpose is to force them to renew the contract with Li Wan at a greater cost.

But even if they knew that it was Adi's deliberate doing, they seemed to have only this choice.

In the NBA, they have competed with Adi for many years, and now they have finally gained the upper hand, and they don't want to make any extraneous branches, especially this person is Li Wan!

The 2012 Olympics had just ended, and in terms of his global influence...... If Nike doesn't keep up with the offer and watch him turn his head to Adidas, who knows if he'll be Adidas' weapon for a comeback?

You must know that Nike was able to gradually form a confrontation situation from Adi's suppression, relying on ......

That's a Michael Jordan!

As far as Li Wan's current momentum is concerned, it may be Michael Jordan in the 21st century!

This person, they have to catch in their hands......

So even if it's Adidas's scheme, they can only keep up with the chips-

Isn't it a sub-brand? We followed!

Li Wan never expected that the biggest beneficiary of the battle between the two brands would be him...... How profitable is Boss Joe's AJ, let's put it this way, easily supporting the operation of the Hornets! The annual net profit is less than 100 million!

Li Wan's "PG1" has only reached this number in sales so far, of course, it is only "PG1", and the "XL" that is on the right track is now making money much faster than "PG1" in the same period.

This woman's money is indeed good......

If there is one more sub-brand of NIKE for Li Wan to operate......

This year, I am afraid that the net profit of two or three small goals will soon become a reality!

Li Wan didn't say a word, and signed directly with Nike.

Nike's headquarters knew that after the contract was completed, although there was a feeling of a miserable victory in his heart, thinking about it, he was more bound to Li Wan, and he felt that Nike's future in the NBA was bright.

To know......

Li Wan is only 24 years old!

Even if he fights until he is 34 years old, then there are still ten years left!

That's enough for Nike to turn the NBA into "Nike's NBA"!

Sacrificing a small piece of cake for the sake of a whole cake isn't really a big deal, right?

After Nike's new contract was officially signed, it immediately caused a huge discussion in the entire league.

Some media asked Michael Jordan for his opinion on this matter, and Jordan said: "When a player can achieve the dominance of Li Wan, no matter what happens, he deserves it!" ”

His answer was decent.

The media continued to ask the question: "Do you think Li Wan will pose a threat to your position?" ”

Jordan's answer was still calm: "When he wins two triple championships, let's discuss this issue again!" ”

This remark attracted a lot of media support.

In their opinion, it is indeed too early to discuss whether Li Wan can surpass Michael Jordan.

But......

Barkley said: "The impact of Nike's contract extension is undoubtedly huge, because it reminds us of what kind of guy Li Wan is......

"He's accomplishing something incredible! He's doing something that a lot of Michael Jordan's successors in the '00s didn't. ”

"Admittedly, it's too early to talk about this, but one day in the future, when we suddenly talk about the distance between Li Wan and Michael Jordan......"

"If you need a starting time...... Well, it's probably now! ”

From now on, Li Wan will officially attack Michael Jordan!

In the midst of a lot of talk from the outside world, on December 20, the New York Knicks without Lee Wan sat at home to face the Toronto Raptors.

This summer, the Raptors traded Kyle Lowry from the Rockets.

The "garbage brothers" were officially formed.

DeRozan is averaging 18.1 points per game and Lowry is averaging 12 points and 6.4 assists per game, and under their leadership, the Raptors are currently in seventh place in the East.

It's back in the playoffs after three years.

In the face of this new army, the New York Knicks played very anxiously, and the impact of the lack of Li Wan at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was undoubtedly revealed.

There is no Li Wan on the offensive end, and he can only rely on Kevin Garnett to organize the offense, but his physical fitness is okay as a "second master", and it is a little insufficient to hold the ball throughout the whole process.

On the defensive end, facing DeRozan and Lowry, who were in full form tonight, the Knicks' outside line rarely took care of one or the other.

In the end, if it weren't for DeRozan's 0.7-second overtime, the New York Knicks would have fallen on their home court in this game.

So even if they won, the New York fans still want to sing loudly:

Li Wan, come back quickly, I can't bear it alone!
