Chapter 274: The season is over, and you can easily advance to the next round

February 13th.

On the last day before the All-Star Weekend, the regular season closed, and the heroes who participated in the All-Star Weekend came to New York one after another.

New York, which has been lively for half a month, is even more shining now.

After Li Wan made an appointment with Conley and Oden to have dinner together, he took the initiative to find Stephen Curry: "Man, congratulations on becoming an All-Star starter......

Curry was also excited, but he was more curious about what Li Wan was looking for him for.

Li Wan didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Man, your sneaker contract with NIKE is about to expire, right?" Interested in joining Plan B? ”

The "schoolboy" was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Li Wan to come because of this matter.

That's not right!

He said, "You should have news inside Nike, right?" You should know why they didn't renew my contract......"

Nike has a dedicated star rating system.

In this set of assessments, Stephen Curry's ceiling is just a second-rate star.

This set of evaluations is evaluated from various dimensions, although sometimes there will be "fish that slip through the net", but more often, it does allow Nike to avoid a lot of risks.

In short, there are pros and cons......

On the downside, because of this system, they let Stephen Curry go and let Under Armour take advantage of it.

Plan B is a sub-brand of Nike, and Li Wan does know Nike's evaluation of Stephen Curry.

But where can their evaluation compare to Li Wan's "eye in the sky", he knows very well what kind of energy Stephen Curry has who supports Under Armour.

He certainly couldn't have missed it.

Therefore, he spoke very firmly: "I don't trust any comments, I only believe in my eyes, my eyes are rulers, you think in my opinion, the future NBA has a place for you, so ......"

"Join Plan B, let's fight a beautiful turnaround together!"

While speaking, Li Wan kept watching Stephen Curry.

After he said that, Curry was clearly moved.

When people live, don't they fight for a breath?

As Li Wan said, fight a beautiful turnaround!

So, Li Wan struck while the iron was hot and said his signing conditions: "With a signing fee of 20 million for 3 years, I will also give you signed shoes, of which 15% of the sneakers will be divided into your ......"

20 million in 3 years, that is, nearly 7 million a year.

It doesn't look high, and it doesn't fit Stephen Curry's current status as an All-Star starter.

But because of his injury problems, many brands are now avoiding him. Even Under Armour, who was originally fishing in troubled waters, was actually sold for 4 million yuan......

Later, after Curry won the championship in 15 years, Under Armour added another 1 million to him, and gave him another 15% of the signature shoe share.

Compared with Under Armour's offer, there is no doubt how sincere Li Wan's offer is. Didn't you see Curry's face with a little bit of surprise and unexpected excitement?

He really didn't expect Li Wan to sign him, and he didn't expect Li Wan to even think about the price. And so sincerely.

Seashell......

Is it really true?

I'm not dreaming, am I?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, it is impossible to dream so beautifully!

Well......

You can't dream of it this beautiful!

After Li Wan left, he immediately called his father.

His dad listened patiently, and brought Curry's agent to New York that afternoon.

"Sign it, smash it, what's there to hesitate about!" Old Curry meant to sign, "Don't forget, you can be an All-Star, and it's also the sentence that people want to shoot three points with you in the middle circle!" ”

With such a big influence, follow the mix, there is definitely soup to drink!

The love of parents is far-reaching.

He knows exactly how bad Stephen Curry's ankle injury is, and the devil knows if the next game will be the last game of his career.

At this time, his idea is that he can catch a little is a little.

Curry's agent thought a little too much, and he felt that he should take the offer contract given by Li Wan to talk to Nike or other brands: "This is an opportunity!" ”

It's just that as soon as these words came out, Old Curry didn't say anything, Curry was anxious first: "No, no, we can't do this!" ”

This is also too inauthentic!

Li Wan gave him enough respect, and as a result, he used people as "stepping stones" when he changed hands...... He can't do this kind of thing.

And......

"I think Plan B is a good fit for me......"

Let's fight a beautiful turnaround together!

Li Wan's words echoed in his ears.

Actually, that's what really touched Stephen Curry.

Because from the time he started learning basketball to the present, he has indeed been what others call "Plan B". When he tried out Duke, the old K thought he was too thin to play in a high-level league, and finally passed him.

He thought......

Like Li Wan, make yourself from Plan B to Plan A!

Old Curry noticed the momentum in his eyes and clapped again: "Okay, it's decided, sign Plan B!" ”

In this way, Li Wan reached a verbal agreement with Curry, and when Curry's contract with Nike expires this summer, he will switch to Plan B.

On February 14, All-Star Weekend officially began.

On the first day of the Rookie Challenge, Lillard won the final "Rookie Challenge MVP", and in the face of an interview with reporters, he said: "A kid from Orlando, I hope I can become the next Leewan!" ”

On the second day, as the host, Li Wan led the team to participate in the "Shooting Star", and a "logo three-point" detonated the audience that night, which also became the most impressive scene on the second day of the All-Star.

Other than that, whether it's the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Shooting Contest, or the Slam Dunk Contest, there are no impressive memory points.

Especially the slam dunk contest, it is even more complaining, I really can't find some professional dunk in the future!

Sign a two-way contract or something......

It's better than watching something new here.

Because of this, after the second day of All-Star Weekend, media reporters complained again and again.

If it weren't for the fact that the All-Star Weekend was still one day away, I was afraid that the hat of "the worst All-Star Weekend in the last five years" would have been worn on the head of New York.

The New York media did not panic at all in the face of these complaints, and they silently recited the same sentence as Knicks fans:

It doesn't matter, Li Wan will make a move anyway!

New York fans: NoNONo, read it with me, d, i, a~o, sigh, nothing to say, anyway, Li Wan will make a move!

Li Wan watched the crazy touting of the New York media, and suddenly felt Alexander, but as the "host", he really had to consider the quality of the All-Star.

Tomorrow's All-Star Game......

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wan already paid attention in his heart, and his eyes became firm.

In this way, amid the sound of complaints and expectations, February 16, the third day of All-Star Weekend arrived.

Compared with the previous two days, tonight's sideline audience is more star-studded.

After Kevin Durant came on the court, he was always in a haunt, because in the audience on the sidelines, he saw the face that he thought about day and night, with a cold white face without expression, and bright red lips that caught people's attention.

It's none other than the "widow sister" Scarlett.

The eyes of the two people still made contact for a moment, Kevin Durant was sure that Scarlett saw him, and just as he was about to say hello, Scarlett turned her face to the side at the speed of light.

Kevin Durant, who had already raised his hand at this time, looked extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, a fan next to him thought that Kevin Durant was greeting him and responded positively, so that Kevin Durant was not so embarrassed......

That's weird!

He looked at Scarlett, who turned his head, and secretly swore in his heart: If you ignore my love today, you will ...... tomorrow

It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw Scarlett, who had been expressionless, suddenly smiled, and this smile suddenly made Kevin Durant feel that he was in love.

The words in my heart have also become: Tomorrow, tomorrow I will lick you so long that you can't afford to kneel!

Scarlett, I'm going to drink your bathwater!

While Kevin Durant swallowed his saliva, the cheers from the scene became louder one after another.

It was also at this time that Durant discovered that it was no wonder that Scarlett smiled so well, and it was Li Wan who dared to appear.

gtmd Li Wan!

Wait and see!

Kevin Durant, who already had ideas about this All-Star Game, made up his mind to lift the All-Star MVP trophy in front of New York fans!

Because when the reporter interviewed Li Wan before the game, he was listening not far away, and when the reporter asked Li Wan if he would work hard for the All-Star MVP tonight, Li Wan gave an affirmative answer: "This is my home stadium, so, of course!" ”

Li Wan has made so many mistakes against me so far......

It's time for me to get a boost too!

It's just that when the game started, Kevin Durant was shocked when he saw Li Wan's determination to win the All-Star MVP, not only he was shocked, but the fans at the scene were also stunned.

After all, Li Wan has not worked on this stage since he won the MVP of the All-Star Game, and so far, except for the year he won the All-Star MVP, Li Wan participated in these All-Star games, and the most points were only 16 points, and the game with the least points was only 8 points.

This time, although he is the host, he also said before the game that he has thoughts on this All-Star MVP trophy. But everyone really didn't expect that Li Wan scored 17 points in the first quarter alone.

It's already higher than any game score that didn't win an All-Star MVP.

Seeing him look so imperative, the rest of the Eastern Conference All-Star team began to play for him more and let him perform at the beginning of the second quarter.

All-Star Weekend is all about a love affair.

For example, before the 03 All-Stars started, everyone knew that this was an All-Star that accompanied Michael Jordan to "read"; The All-Star in '06, the West is also fully cooperating with Maddie to win the All-Star MVP......

Li Wan's current status in the rivers and lakes goes without saying.

He wants to win this year's All-Star MVP, who dares to compete with him?

Even if there is a sneaky and want to engage in the "old six" behavior, it can't escape the eyes of D'Antoni, as the head coach of this year's Eastern All-Star team, he has been observing.

For example, a certain No. 6, who did not have the ball, was walking on the field, and he saw it and immediately replaced him.

Maybe he doesn't care, not fighting will help him rest.

But there is always someone who wants to fight!

This year's Eastern bench can have a bunch of emerging forces.

There are always people who are willing to cooperate with Li Wan to play!

In this way, with the help of "good popularity", Li Wan scored another 14 points in the second quarter. In the first half, he scored 30 points alone, and the various "scoring shows" were dazzling.

After this first-half performance alone, the outside world's comments on this year's All-Star Weekend suddenly reversed.

They left messages one after another, admitting that they had spoken too loudly before, and it turned out that the big one was here!

Speaking of which, we also have to thank Popovich for his cooperation......

Seeing that Li Wan was so urgent, this guy deliberately wanted to give Li Wan strength, and with his eyesight, he couldn't see which people in the Western All-Star lineup were desperate on the court.

So, he put the gang on the field.

For example, the ...... led by Kevin Durant

They can have fun, they can waste their physical strength, and they can also rest a few old Spurs who have made All-Star teams, why not?

Popovich grinned!

In their confrontation with each other, this game was far more hot than the average regular season.

It's a real thing, and it's a bunch of stars, and when the hand comes, it's all kinds of unreasonable goals, that's called an eye-stimulation, you say, can the fans not watch and shout "so cool"?

Kevin Durant ended up scoring 23 points in the first half.

Thanks to their efforts, even if Li Wan scored 30 points, the East was only 66-60, leading by 6 points.

As soon as the second half came up, the atmosphere eased slightly, Li Wan and Curry first paid off the debts owed to the fans, and the two of them faced off on the logo at the middle line for two or three rounds, and finally ended with Li Wan throwing in the "logo three points" first.

Then, the two sides began to fight each other again.

Li Wan's state tonight is good enough, but Kevin Durant on the opposite side also turned on the "Grim Reaper mode", and the response at once made people excited.

The two of them fought against each other all the way.

The point difference has been floating between 6 ~ 9 points in their continuous goals.

At 8 minutes and 45 seconds in the fourth quarter, as Kevin Durant hit another three-pointer, the difference was even closer to 4 points.

The close-up of the scene showed Kevin Durant in the defense, and after hitting the three-pointer, he looked resolute, as if he regarded this as a war.

Scarlett, who was on the sidelines, suddenly got up at this time and shouted at him: "Damn, give up, even if you win the game, you won't be able to drink the old lady's bath water!" ”

In just one sentence, Kevin Durant, who was comparable to "Thor's hammer" and "killing intent has been decided", was stunned and dizzy, and his movements immediately slowed down a lot.

Watch as Levan breaks through Deron Williams and rushes past him to the basket.

"Phew!"

A heavy one-handed clasp.

The margin is back to 6 points.

The Eastern All-Stars defended the Western All-Stars' subsequent attack and didn't give them a chance, winning the final victory by 132-120, 12 points.

The final attack of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, scored by Li Wan, whose trademark mid-range jumper stretched the margin to 12 points and brought his personal score to 50 points.

This is the first time that a player has scored 50 points on this stage since the NBA All-Star Game began.

The New York fans at the scene couldn't hold back any longer, and cheered:

"King of New York!"

"King of New York!"

"King of New York!"

……

Li Wan embraced these cheers with open arms.

Under the lights of the stadium, he was sweating profusely and smiling very brightly.

Scarlett, who "shouted to decide the winner", looked at the smiling man in front of her, sat down contentedly, and watched him accept the bows and worship from fans from all over the stadium.

She didn't notice at all that Kevin Durant was also looking at her, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Stinky woman!

"Xiaoshuai" scolded fiercely.

"Let's congratulate Wan Lee on being the MVP of the 2013 All-Star Weekend!"

There was no suspense, Li Wan, who scored 50 points to lead the team to win the game, lifted the second All-Star MVP trophy of his career after the game.

The host asked him to give his acceptance speech, and he said, "I hope that this performance is enough to remind you that this year's All-Star Game was a success in New York!" ”

Cheers filled the Madison Garden Plaza as he lowered the microphone.

The fans in the audience responded to Li Wan's words with positive shouts.

If such an All-Star Game is not successful enough, their New York fans will definitely not agree!

Judging from the comments on the Internet, not only the fans on the scene thought it was a success, but all the fans who watched tonight's All-Star Game thought it was a success.

Including those fans who previously complained about this year's All-Star Weekend, they also changed their minds after this game.

The New York media couldn't help but burst into tears when they looked at the comments that were reversed by Li Wan on his own:

Li Wan, it's good to have you in New York!

In this way, with the end of the All-Star Game, this year's All-Star Weekend has officially come to an end.

As usual, as All-Star Weekend comes to an end, so does the NBA free trade market.

Compared to previous years, the free market was a little quieter in the 24 hours before closing its doors this season, with no major deals happening. It is no wonder that many media predicted that the Lakers and Spurs, who would rebuild or age this season before the start of the new season, have become the "dark horses" of the West.

The only trade that caused a lot of talk was when the Spurs signed Maddy.

With a "base salary veteran" contract.

The once glorious top scorer in the league has fallen to this field in a few years, which is embarrassing.

However, a media report came out and raised a question: Maddie and Yao Ming, who delayed whom?

The discussion caused by this issue is obviously much louder than the discussion after the Spurs' deal to sign Maddy was exposed.

The New York media's answer was: Yao Ming cooperated with Maddie, but it was only the Western Conference semifinals; Yao Ming cooperated with Li Wan and won the final finals, you say...... Who delayed whom!

There is a way, whose famous house is protected!

As the hero of the third championship in the history of the New York Knicks, it is naturally impossible for the New York media to let the answer become "Da Yao drags down Maddie".

Compared with the strong protection of the New York media, Maddie is a bit miserable.

Although he played for three or four teams, none of the team's media wanted to speak up to him......

This made his "old age" in the league a little more bleak.

Li Wan's first reaction after learning that Maddie joined the Spurs as he had done was:

Steady!

The Spurs are adding a layer of "de buff"!

Maddie is really poisonous!

Any kind of situation can give him a yellow.

"Reversal" seems to be something engraved in his blood. More often than not, of course, he is reversed.

On February 18, the New York Knicks restarted their regular season journey, Vince Carter finally returned, and the New York Knicks also got rid of the struggles before the All-Star weekend, ending all the journeys in February with a wave of five straight wins.

It's just that before the All-Star weekend, they lost a total of three games, and with these five consecutive wins, they had a 9-3 record in February, which is not the best team in the East.

The Heat lost just one game in the entire month of February.

LeBron James won his first "Best of the Month" of the season with 28.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.5 blocks, ending Li Wan's "triple" record.

However, after the official announcement of this award, he said directly: "In my opinion, this award should not only belong to me, but also to my good brother Dwyan, as well as Chris, we won this award together, especially, I want to talk about Dwyane again, without his sacrifice, there would be no such a strong Heat team, I hope everyone will not underestimate his ability!" ”

This "brotherly love" speech directly made Wade fall, grabbing LeBron is a few big hugs in a row, while hugging, he choked up and shouted: "Good brother, good brother!" ”

Li Wan noticed this unusual scene of LeBron James.

In his impression, LeBron James has been helping Wade speak recently, which makes him a little wondering: Could it be that because of the greater setbacks, the relationship between the two has become better?

Well......

Then I'll work harder and see if I can bend these two guys!

Li Wan's motivation to win the championship is 1 more!

Chris Bosh watched the two play out "brotherhood" in front of him with only one feeling: I shouldn't be in the locker room, I should be outside the locker room.

No, it's not!

I shouldn't be outside the locker room, I shouldn't be on the Heat!

Oh yes!

Let me look at the memo, it's still ...... away from leaving the Heat

132 days!

Soon, soon!

I'm about to be freed!

Seeing this number, Chris Bosh was excited, one couldn't hold back, and cried, LeBron and Wade thought that Bosh was moved by their "brotherhood" and pulled him over together.

The three of them burst into tears.

However, despite the Heat's excellent record in February, losing two fewer games than the New York Knicks, Leewan and the Knicks are not worried.

The advantage they had accumulated in the first few months was enough for them to play the remainder of the schedule at their own pace while retaining their top spot in the regular season.

You know, even though the Heat only lost one game in February, they are still five wins away from the New York Knicks.

Not to mention the rest of the teams in the East, which have long since finished 6th in the East, and the win margin has long exceeded double digits.

On March 15, with 15 games left to end the season, the New York Knicks locked up a playoff spot early. This means that even if they lose the next 15 games, they will still be able to enter the playoffs as a top-eight in the East.

On April 2, the New York Knicks played six games ahead of schedule and locked up the first place in the East.

It was this seat at the top of the league that was not decided until April 10, when there were three games left in the schedule.

The Thunder are really fierce this year, and after the first place in the West was briefly handed over to the Spurs, they took back this position, and only lost one game in the whole of March, narrowing the win gap with the New York Knicks to 4 games, which made the New York Knicks feel a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, the New York Knicks have long recovered from the slump in early February, withstood the pressure of the Thunder, and finally had the last laugh with a 66-16 record.

On April 15, as the Jazz and Lakers finished the last game of the NBA official schedule, the 2012~2013 NBA regular season came to an end.

The quarterfinals of the East and West are officially determined.

On the Eastern side, compared to last season, the head has not changed much, and it is still the New York Knicks who sit in the first place, and the Bulls have a slightly inferior momentum, but they are also in third place. The second is the Heat.

It's just that since the third place, this change is a bit bigger.

The first was the departure of Kevin Garnett, which allowed the Nets to slip to seventh place in the East;

The Pacers, the representative player of the Eastern Youth Army, used the end of the season to overtake the Magic and move into fourth place, driving the Magic to fifth.

The sixth is the Hawks, who traded the "Eagle King".

Originally, they planned to rebuild, but they didn't expect that they would actually kill the sixth again.

They are ranked sixth without the "Eagle King", and they are still ranked sixth without the "Eagle King", this "Eagle King" ......

Joe Johnson's wind reviews are being persecuted again......

The eighth is also a new face.

In the third season of Chris Bosh's absence, the Toronto Raptors, the "King of the North", returned to the playoffs under the leadership of DeRozan and Lowry.

It is also worth mentioning that the Bobcats are the team with the lowest record in the East this season, and the team with the lowest record in the league, and this team has not had a "top pick" in its history.

Other words......

The 2013 champion this summer is likely to be theirs, and Li Wan hopes it will be theirs as well, because ...... The 2013 champion signed against Michael Jordan, the picture was so beautiful, Li Wan really wanted to see it!

Compared to the eastern pattern, which has changed a lot.

The changes on the western side are not very large.

The top five are still the Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Clippers, and Grizzlies, but the rankings have changed to the Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Grizzlies, and Clippers.

It wasn't until the sixth position that new faces appeared. - The "Youth Storm" Warriors from Golden State.

It's just that seventh is another old face, last season's eighth Salt Lake City Jazz;

The eighth is also an old face - the Portland Trail Blazers!

Originally, because of Oden's injury, the team fell out of the top eight at one point, but with the return of Oden after the All-Star weekend, they returned to the Western Conference playoffs with a stable twin towers.

Once again, the Ohio Four made it to the playoffs.

With the first eight seats in the east and west scheduled, there are also various "data kings" of this season.

Li Wan averaged 37.1 minutes per game this season, and could score 36.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.8 blocks, shooting 55.8% from the field, 43.2% from three-point range, and 92.4% from the free throw line!

Among them, the average playing time, points per game, steals per game, shooting percentage per game, and free throw percentage per game have all set career highs.

Such exaggerated data also allowed Li Wan to win this season's "scoring king", "assist king" and "steal king", which is the first time in NBA history that a player has done this.

Li Wan took another "blood" in the NBA's all-time record.

And when the reporter asked him if this was the best regular season game of his career, Li Wan said bluntly: "Of course! ”

Most of the data has been improved across the board.

What's even more exaggerated is that when the playing time has increased by an average of two or three minutes per game, Li Wan's efficiency has no impact at all, and entering the "180 Club" for the second time in his career is the most terrifying thing!

Actually, this is also forced.

After the All-Star weekend, the Thunder's performance was so good that even Kevin Durant's comments picked up a lot, and he was a threat to winning the regular season MVP again.

Although the level of threat does not make Li Wan feel pressured.

But with Lee Wan on the verge of winning this year's regular season MVP, he won't allow the slightest potential factor to threaten him with this award.

Therefore, after March, Li Wan took the initiative to increase his playing time, which also allowed him to play more exaggerated statistics.

Judging from his popularity at the end of the season, this wave of active changes in dealing with potential threats, Li Wan gave himself a hundred points.

David Stern also gave him a 100 point.

is so powerful, it is not in vain since the "night of becoming a god", he has been building momentum.

As for the other data kings......

The "rebounding king" belongs to Howard, averaging 12.4 rebounds per game, and he can get this award, thanks to Lefou's injury, if Lefu is not injured, this "rebounding king" is still "Lewolf King".

In the matter of grabbing rebounds, other people don't know Lefu's skills, anyway, Li Wan is convinced.

The "King of Blocks" belongs to Ibaka, and the "King of Threes" belongs to Curry, who threw in 272 three-pointers this season!

It is worth mentioning that this season's "iron list" has changed newcomers.

This season's "Iron King" belongs to the "Thunder Three" Westbrook.

The young master's style of play is really reckless from a "little turtle" to an "old turtle".

On April 16, the day after the end of the season, the official announced the "Rookie of the Year" of the season for the first time, and there was no surprise that this award belonged to Lillard.

This is also the rookie with the lowest ranking in the "Best Rookie" after Li Wan in 07.

Lillard once again said that he would target Levan and move forward.

In front of Li Wan, the domineering "Li Guide" has become a "Li Fan Brother", which makes Li Wan consider whether to sign him into Plan B.

Anyway, if you really want to talk about the temperament of "my life is up to me, not God", Lillard must have it.

But if you really want to sign it, Li Wan is really not sure if he can grab it, mainly ......

It's too expensive!

In 14 years, that is, next year, Adidas spent 100 million to snatch Lillard.

At the initial stage of Plan B, Li Wanke couldn't offer such a price.

Subsequently, this season's "Most Improved Player Award" was also newly released, which belonged to Paul George.

Danny Granger is still injured as before, and it's a serious injury at the season reimbursement level.

Just when the Indiana media thought that the Pacers would have to run the league again this season, Paul George stepped up, averaging 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, giving the "cornfield" new hope.

He was also named to this year's Eastern Conference All-Star bench for such a good performance.

Now he has won the "Most Improved Player Award".

But this award is really toxic, everyone who won this award was injured, Paul George also failed to jump out of this pattern, and the broken leg injury when he was in the national team sparring in the future once made people feel that he was gone.

As a result, he turned the injury into a "background board", "reborn with a broken leg", and re-became a regular season MVP-level player.

April 18th.

The awards are almost over, and the playoffs have officially begun.

At home, the New York Knicks host their first-round playoff opponents:

Toronto Raptors.

Although the "garbage brothers" took the Raptors to new heights, the threat to the New York Knicks cannot be said to be absent, only to be felt.

The pre-match predictions of major media are all 4-0!

Speaking of which, Li Wan's increase in playing time in March was also due to the fact that the opponent in the first round of the playoffs was not strong.

Whether it was the Raptors, or the Hawks at the time, or the Bucks, the 76ers......

For the New York Knicks are all the same shape:

4-0!

For the media's predictions, the "garbage brothers" are naturally very unconvinced.

They have the heart to prove themselves, but ......

A week later, it turned out that although they had a heart, they had a weak heart.

Without any surprises, the New York Knicks swept the Toronto Raptors 4-0.

"Brother Trash" was really beaten as "trash" in this series.

DeRozan, who averaged 18.1 points per game in the regular season, averaged only 14.4 points per game in this series, and his shooting percentage dropped from 44.5% per game in the regular season to 40.4%!

Lowry was in a similar situation, scoring 20 points in seven of the eight games in the second half of the regular season, and earned the nickname "Little Steel Cannon", and faced Beverley's full-court bite, averaging only 9.8 points per game, and shooting less than 40% from the field......

After this round of the series, Toronto not only lost this season, but also lost the next season, anyway, in terms of the performance of the "garbage brothers", no one would think that they have a promising future.

Except for themselves......

After the fourth game of the series, Lowry's "head touch" to DeRozan, as well as DeRozan's healed expression, were really moving.

Anyway, Li Wan watched this scene.

I always feel that the relationship between them is much better than Wade and LeBron......

At least no matter which one it is, they didn't backstab each other after they separated, but they often miss the youth of the other party.

Li Wan exchanged high-fives and hugs with the two of them, and left Toronto with the Knicks.

He played an easy game in this series.

As for how easy it is......

Just look at the data, he averaged 27.5 points, 8 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 2 blocks per game in 4 games. Maybe this data is not good at first glance, compared with Li Wan's average data per game in the regular season, it is much worse, but if you add another premise......

This is the data that Li Wan played in an average of 30.5 minutes per game, does it feel different immediately?

The Raptors really can't withstand the impact of the New York Knicks!

The average of the four games is 28.5 points per game.

After the first and fourth games of the series were played in the third quarter, the New York Knicks withdrew all their main players, because at that time, the New York Knicks' lead had already exceeded 30 points.

Of course, what satisfies Li Wan the most is Danny Green's play.

DeRozan's poor performance was defended by Green throughout the whole process, although Li Wan was also on the wing, but watching him calmly deal with DeRozan, Li Wan knew very well that this guy had finally risen to a certain size after a season of training as a starter for the New York Knicks.

The "shortest board" on the defensive end of the New York Knicks' starters is not short now!

Except that the Knicks swept the Raptors 4-0.

The current situation of the other three groups of matchups in the East in the first round is: the Heat lead the Nets 3-1; The Bulls lead the Hawks 3-1; The Magic and Pacers were tied 2-2.

In the first two sets, the higher-ranked teams are significantly stronger than their opponents, including the Heat and Nets.

Although the Nets have three All-Star level players in Chris Paul, Pierce and Lopez, the conflict between Paul and Pierce has become increasingly serious and has reached the point of irreconcilability, and as long as the team falls behind, the two will often start to fight for the ball.

The scales of victory and defeat are also often in this one that is completely tipped in favor of the Heat.

After the Magic played 4 games against the Pacers, it can be described in three words:

Five-five-open!

The "Eagle King" was persecuted again, and he fought very hard against Paul George. To be honest, when I saw this scene, the general manager of the Magic team in the office felt that last year's contract was too big......

This is the situation on this side of the east.

In the West, the Thunder also beat the Trail Blazers 4-0 to easily advance to the next round.

Oden was once again defeated by Kevin Durant, and in his post-game press conference, he was very frustrated: "It's tiresome to repeat defeats like this, it's not what I want to see, I don't want to experience a similar failure again!" ”

The signal from those words sent a sense of crisis to the media in Portland, and the phone in the Trail Blazers' general manager's office was blown up half an hour later.

Other three groups: Spurs lead Jazz 3-1; The Lakers lead the Warriors 3-1; The Grizzlies lead the Clippers 3-1;

The "3-1" lead, the most surprising of which was the matchup between the Grizzlies and the Clippers.

It's not that they didn't expect the Grizzlies to take the lead.

There are quite a few media pundits who think the Grizzlies will win the eventual victory.

But few thought that after four games, they would lead the Clippers 3-1.

During this time, the league has announced the fate of several awards:

The "Sixth Man of the Season" belongs to J.R. Smith, who averages 18 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

The "General Manager of the Season" belongs to Donnie Walsh.

There is also the "Manager of the Season Award" that goes to D'Antoni.

Along with these awards, this season's "Best Team" and "Best Defense Team" were released.

First Formation: Kobe, Derrick Rose, Levan Lee, Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan;

Second team: Chris Paul, Westbrook, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard;

Three: Wade, Conley, Paul George, Griffin, Oden;

Li Wan's transfer to the No. 3 position directly brought a big change to this year's best team.

LeBron James, who has been selected as the "best team" for 5 consecutive years, failed to make it this time, but there is no way, the "07 Heroes" are too fierce this year, occupying the first and second places in the regular season MVP list.

These two occupy the forward spot, so you can't count LeBron as an interior or a guard, right?

There was no way, he had to fall to the second team.
