Chapter 290: He was already thinking about where Li Wan's bronze statue should be placed in the Quick Loan Center
During this time, the "General Manager of the Season" and "Manager of the Season" awards also had their final results.
The "General Manager of the Season Award" belonged to Donnie Walsh, and when Kevin Garnett was traded for Chris Bosh, the deal was mixed in public opinion at the time.
Some say good, some say bad.
But doubts still occupy the vast majority.
However, it turned out that the deal was completely fine.
Chris Bosh staged the return of the "Dragon King" and regained his 20-plus-10 stats as one of the best interior players in the league.
And Kevin Garnett, not only has his form declined greatly, but he has also been injured for the season, which is not good news for him to suffer such a big injury at such an age.
The Heat ended up in fifth place in the East.
All these stats and examples make Donnie Walsh's deal a "big deal"!
It also allowed him to win the "General Manager of the Season" award again.
This is the second time Donnie Walsh has won the "Best General Manager Award" in the Lee Wan era.
As for the "Coach of the Season" award, it belongs to the Raptors' head coach this season, Dwyane Casey.
The "Trash Brothers" brought the Raptors back to the playoffs last season, and this year they went one step further, climbing to third place in the East, behind the New York Knicks and Bulls.
Compared to these two teams, or the rankings of these high-ranking teams in the West, it is clear that the Raptors have achieved more surprisingly this season.
This is also the first time Casey has won this award.
With the announcement of these two awards.
In the first round of the playoffs, except for the New York Knicks, who completed the promotion. The Bulls also defeated the Magic 4-1 to enter the second round of the playoffs.
Orlando fans sang "Song of Missing" that night.
There are still two rounds of the series left in the East.
One round is a game between the Raptors and the Nets, and another round is a game between the Heat and the Pacers.
The former is currently tied at 2-2.
In the regular season this season, although the Raptors rushed fiercely as a new army, the problem that this team is a newcomer was undoubtedly revealed in the playoffs.
The current big score of the Heat and Pacers game is also tied 2-2.
The Pacers' wing can't solve the ball holding of LeBron James and Wade, and the same Heat team can't resist the ravages of the Pacers' interior after the lack of Kevin Garnett, 4 games, the "black version of Yao Ming" averaged 15.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, and he really played like a star inside.
On the Western side, the Thunder easily won the Jazz 4-0 with lightning speed.
Lillard, who entered his second season of career, still fell in the first round of the playoffs, but he still improved a lot this season.
He averaged 20.6 points and 5.6 assists per game in the regular season, and he was already an All-Star level guard.
It is estimated that the All-Star will be in the next season or two.
It's actually quite helpless to be able to beat the Thunder team......
After all, Kevin Durant is already fierce this season, not to mention winning the "scoring champion" again after three years, and he is still the most favorable winner of this season's "regular season MVP".
But the Thunder team is not just him, and he is extremely ferocious.
"second" Westbrook averaged 23.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game this season, and "third" James Harden also averaged 20.6 points, 3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in the regular season this season;
It's also the only team in the league where only three players average more than 20 points per game!
One of them is also the "scoring champion", which is the only one in the history of the NBA, and there is no other semicolon!
is so ferocious, and where can the Jazz, a team that is on the road to rebuilding, contend with, and it is actually normal to be swept.
The Spurs played five games against the Warriors and eventually eliminated the latter 4-1.
On the second day of the series, there was a grapevine within the Warriors that they were ready to change the head coach, and the next list was also available, and the name closest to the new Warriors head coach at the moment was: Steve Kerr!
The Lakers have also played five games against the Grizzlies.
Mark Gasol is obviously in his prime, his presence makes Asik very uncomfortable under the basket, fortunately the "Grizzly" Zach Randolph is old, and Pau Gasol is no longer one-sided in the face of him, and has the power to fight back.
So this inside line is a draw.
But on the outside side, although the Grizzlies have gone Iguodala, Tony Allen is very successful in defending Kobe, coupled with Mike Conley's offensive ability is now much stronger, and the Grizzlies, who are fifth in the West, are leading 3-2, and one more win can complete the reversal and enter the second round of the playoffs.
In addition, there is an unfinished series in the West for the Trail Blazers to play the Clippers.
"Lin Crazy" was crazy in the regular season, but in the face of a group of "old men" of the Clippers, his inexperience was also exposed. Since the Trail Blazers used him as the team's "engine", most of their tactics have been initiated from the No. 1 position, and his limitation has led to the unhappiness of the entire Trail Blazers on the offensive end.
The Clippers have won back-to-back games, losing just one game at the Trail Blazers' home court, and are currently leading 3-1.
But just before Game 5 of the Clippers-Trail Blazers series began.
The American gossip media "TMZ" suddenly exposed a private recording of Clippers owner Sterling, in which Sterling used racist remarks to ask his girlfriend not to take Nigo into his arena.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the entire alliance.
The Clippers, led by Carmelo Anthony, refused to play for the Clippers, and the black people in the league also came out to blame Sterling and demand an explanation from the league.
David Stern was quick to deal with it, imposing a lifetime ban on Sterling, as well as a $2.5 million fine and demanding that Sterling immediately take action against the Clippers.
After the penalty came out, a large part of the noise was silenced, but during this period, the Clippers were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in three consecutive games, and finally stopped in the first round.
fxxk!
Carmelo Anthony was naturally angry.
You must know that although they did not sweep the New York Knicks in the regular season this season, they still drew 1-1 with the Knicks, with a winning rate of 55, at least there is a possibility of winning.
As a result, now, because of Sterling's stupid fork, the team's hearts have suddenly dispersed, which is really special......
It's a "dog luck" alliance!
After this battle, Carmelo Anthony feels that it takes dog luck to survive in this league!
The Lakers were eliminated before the Clippers were eliminated.
The Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 4-2 to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
Kobe Bryant averaged 23.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game throughout the 6-round series, which is still the data of top players, but anyone who watched the sixth game of the series knows that Kobe Bryant is old. He is no longer the "omnipotent" "black mamba" of 0809!
Now he needs a strong ......
"Jordan"!
Right!
That's the feeling that he can handle most things, but in the most critical moments, he has to hand the ball to someone else to handle it, because when the game really gets to that point, the 36-year-old Kobe Bryant will be physically underwhelmed.
Even if he is a well-known "physical monster" in the alliance, even if he has endless fighting spirit.
But the body's instinctive reaction may be able to rely on fighting spirit to overcome in those one or two rounds, but it can't rely on fighting spirit to suppress that exhaustion throughout that time.
"Black Mamba" is not a pervert like the "God of Basketball" after all.
It is also an undoubted fact that the 36-year-old Kobe Bryant's dominance of the game is far from catching up with Michael Jordan of the same age.
This makes the Los Angeles Lakers urgently need to face a problem:
Kobe Bryant is old, and the team was eliminated in the first round, so what should be the next step?
The reporter asked Kobe: "Will you call Li Wan this summer?" ”
Bryant barely hesitated: "No, I won't call him!" ”
The reporter asked a different way: "Do you want Li Wan to join the Lakers?" ”
This time Kobe Bryant thought for a moment and said, "I don't rule out this happening......"
But he added: "But I won't call him!" ”
The meaning of this is also very simple, he can come, but he still has to grab the position of the boss!
If he hadn't been convinced, he wouldn't have been able to convince him......
After Li Wan heard Kobe's answer, he was not surprised, and faced the reporter, he said: "This is the Kobe Bryant I know......"
Just like when Michael Jordan was still active on the court as an NBA player, he didn't look at any of the juniors in the league, and all the good things started after he really retired.
Now, it's just another reincarnation.
With the elimination of the Lakers and the Clippers, the Western Conference semifinals have a final result...... In the second round of the West, the Thunder will face the Grizzlies; The Spurs are up against the Trail Blazers;
The Ohio Four made it to the semifinals again this year.
On the Eastern side, the remaining two groups also had a final result, the Nets forced the game into a "tie-break", but in the end, the Raptors were slightly better, 4-3 eliminated the Nets and entered the second round of the playoffs, waiting for them is the Chicago Bulls;
The Heat and Pacers also played a "tie-break". LeBron James turned on the "all-out Zhan" mode in the "cornfield", and scored a "quasi-triple-double" of 38 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists to help the team reach the second round and meet the New York Knicks on the playoff stage for the fourth consecutive year.
However, this time it is not the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
After a season of absence, the Heat made a lot of money.
During this time, the league continued to announce the "Season Awards".
The "Sixth Man of the Season" belongs to Leewan's former teammate Jamal Crawford, who averaged 18.8 points and 4.3 assists per game with the Suns this season, making him the first player in NBA history to win the "Sixth Man of the Year" award three times in a row.
Of course, he is definitely more successful now than he was at the same time, because he is still the "super sixth man" of the championship team......
Li Wan didn't forget to tweet congratulations to Crawford: Witness history, you'll always be the best, man!
What Li Wan didn't expect was that this guy actually commented below: A living legend.
At that time, Li Wan felt that his little thumb was cold......
Along with the Sixth Man of the Season award, the Team of the Season was announced.
"Best Team: LeBron James, Kobe, Leewan, Kevin Durant, Howard;
Best Second Team: Stephen Curry, Derrick Rose, Chris Bosh, Aldridge, Oden;
Best three: Westbrook, Paul George, Love, Cousins, Al Jefferson; ”
Compared to last year, this year's "best team" has changed a lot.
First of all, Howard is back in the first line, and LeBron James, who was replaced to play the No. 1 position this year, also returned to the first lineup, squeezing Rose to the second team.
Entering the tenth year of his career, LeBron James has proven that he is "Magic" Johnson!
In addition, Chris Bosh has also returned to the "best team" after five years, and he is still the "best second team" that equals his best result in history.
When Li Wan knew the news, Chris Bosh happened to be next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Welcome back to the best team, Chris!" ”
It can be seen that Bosh is also very excited, his hands are clenched tightly, and the sound of "cough cough" keeps coming out of his throat, as if he is accumulating something, trying not to let it explode.
This is going to be the "Dragon King's Roar" again!
However, it's no wonder that he is so excited, even Chris Bosh didn't expect that in the first year after leaving the Heat, he would turn over again and become the "Dragon King of the North" who is quite famous in the league!
True......
Thanks to Li Wan!
In fact, Li Wan guessed wrong, Chris Bosh has been suppressed, and what he didn't shout out was not his "Dragon King Roar", but one of his questions: After leaving the Knicks, where are you going to go?
If, what he said......
If!
Please bring me with you if you can!
Chris Bosh really enjoyed working with Leewan.
Anyway, his contract expires next year, and he is an absolute free man!
Some people return, and some people lose again.
For example, Wade, who just returned last season, was undrafted again this year.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that this year's "new forces" are fierce, with those like Chris Bosh who are back, and Kevin Love, Cousins, Al Jefferson, Aldridge, and others who have never been in the "best team......
Some media looked at this "new force" and sighed: "Unconsciously, it's time for the alliance to be renewed!" ”
The shortlist for the "Best Defensive Formation" is:
"Best Defensive Team: Leewan, Beverley, Leonard, Paul George, Ibaka;
Best Defensive Second Team: Jimmy Butler, Tony Allen, Hibbert, Marc Gasol, Joaquin Noah; ”
Not only has the "best lineup" changed a lot, but even the "best defensive lineup" has also changed a lot, with a lot of fewer regulars and a lot more unfamiliar names.
Like Ibaka, Paul George, and Hibbert and the like, which makes the media even more certain......
The renewal of the Alliance, it is coming!
On May 2, the New York Knicks could finally resume their playoff schedule after a few days off.
Next up is their first game of the second round of the playoffs.
Sit at home against the Miami Heat!
Chris Bosh was in a significantly different state before the start of this series than he was when he played the Raptors before.
Although the Raptors are also his old club.
But before he left, the fans there gave him more cheers and screams, so to speak, the Toronto fans, even if they are booing fiercely now, for Chris Bosh, just four words:
Dull.
It's a different story for Miami Heat fans.
In the past three years, these people have never had a good face for him, and just mentioning him must be all kinds of "mouth fragrance", which is an absolute shame for Chris Bosh, who was once in the ranks of the league's "supergiants".
Now, the chance for revenge has arrived!
In this series with the Miami Heat, he asked these guys to open their "dog eyes" to see clearly what kind of player they had insulted!
So the day before the game, Chris Bosh threw himself into adjusting his form.
Just by looking at his face, everyone knows that he is eager to perform in this series.
Compared to the sharpening of knives here, the whole atmosphere on the Heat side is a little worse.
It's no wonder that during the regular season, in addition to the "Christmas War", the two teams also played two other games, with Kevin Garnett, they lost a few points, without Kevin Garnett, good guys, the two games combined lost by 50 points, it is worth saying that in one of them, they still faced the New York Knicks without Tyson Chandler, but they still can't beat it.
It can be said that this season's Heat team has at least some hope of winning against others, that is, against the New York Knicks, they really have no chance of winning at all!
Especially without Kevin Garnett......
Seriously, they really want the Heat owners to be like Sterling and suddenly make some "racist" remarks, so that they have a reason to strike the game and protest solemnly.
It's a pity that the Heat owners didn't get what they wanted.
Speaking of which, since Sterling's recording was revealed by the media, the current league bosses are all very honest. After all, with Dolan, within a year, there have already been 2 bosses who have had an accident because they were recorded in private. It's hard not to associate this group of "human spirits", so much so that when David Stern held a boss meeting recently, these people paid special attention to their behavior and did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
For these capitalists, there is nothing better than making money quietly!
Lu Xun's "making a fortune out of silence" is also applicable abroad.
The attendance at Madison Garden Plaza that night was more than just "full".
There is no way, Li Wan's games are one less game, and now they have come to the number of games that can be counted down, and they expect the Heat to hold two more games. But they also know that the abilities of LeBron James and Wade are simply not enough to pose a threat to the New York Knicks.
The leader of the "03 Golden Generation", just so so!
As a result, LeBron James and Wade really didn't surprise New York fans, and as soon as they came up, the Heat fell into passivity. And the whole state of the New York Knicks came up very quickly, especially Chris Bosh, who was in hot form, and at the beginning of the game, he broke through the basket twice with the ball, and also caused a foul on Haslem, which became 2 plus 1.
With his play, the New York Knicks quickly led by five points, and at the end of the first quarter, they were 33-25, leading by eight points.
Chris Bosh had seven points and three rebounds in the first quarter.
Spoelstra looked at Bosh and felt strange again.
He's looking forward to seeing Chris Bosh "call the rain" under the basket, and now he's finally doing it, but he's doing it against the Heat......
My heart is sour, what's the matter with wanting to cry inexplicably?
Haslem was also a hell of a ghost.
Is this guy that hard?
In his memory, when he was paired with Chris Bosh, he was always forced to be eaten by his opponents, and he still needed his help to avoid being "pierced through his bottoms" by his opponents.
Now what's going on with this guy......
Piercing his bottoms?
Chris Bosh: Hehe, you don't want to think about what kind of monsters I used to carry! Can you compare to these monsters? can't compare, I don't have the ability to know!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Bosh continued to play well, and the New York Knicks successfully stretched the margin to double digits, and at halftime, Chris Bosh's stats were fixed at 12 points and 6 rebounds.
Barkley looked at Chris Bosh's stats, but he was thinking of another man, and he looked at Kenny Smith: "You say, why is Chris Bosh suddenly so good?" ”
In just one summer, the "Dragon King" is back!
There must be something greasy in this!
At this time, Kenny Smith did not understand what Barkley was really trying to say, and carefully analyzed it from the New York Knicks' lineup. Barkley saw him like this, immediately interrupted, and reminded: "This season, Li Wan's ball handling proportion is significantly less. ”
Although he gave Kevin Garnett the ball last season, Li Wan's ball handling ratio is still around 27.6%, not that he doesn't want to concede more, but Kevin Garnett's age, there is only so much he can digest.
And this season, Li Wan's ball holding rate is only 23.8%!
That's a really frightening number for the absolute core of the team, and for an outside player.
If Kenny Smith still doesn't understand Barkley's words at this time, then he has been partnering with this "dead fat man" for so many years, and he understands: "Li Wan knows how to make his teammates have a good performance, and at this point, neither LeBron nor Dwyane is inferior to him!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Barkley nodded frantically, which was really what he wanted to express:
LeBron James "abolished" his teammates, and Li Wan can strengthen the performance of his teammates!
Chris Bosh at this moment is the best proof of this!
Their discussion also caused a huge discussion after the game.
LeBron's fans certainly disagree:
"If you want to talk about ruining teammates, can there be Kobe Bryant's ruined teammates?"
"Players like Mo Williams, who will never be able to make it to the All-Star, rely on LeBron to get into the All-Star, saying that LeBron wastes his teammates, is Barkley brainless!"
"Chris Bosh, who couldn't even play the Eastern Conference Finals before coming to the Heat, shouldn't he give up the ball? This is also called a waste teammate?? ”
……
In addition to consistently stepping on Kobe, they "cite scriptures" and make various statements to prove that LeBron James really does not waste his teammates.
It's a pity that the sentence "Dragon King" returns, plus the sentence "Wade was the MVP of the Finals before he brought his talent to the South Coast, and now he can't even enter the best team", a direct lore!
In the end, 121-104, the New York Knicks won by a big score, easily won the first victory of the series, and rewrote the big score to 1-0!
Chris Bosh had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, and the "20 plus 10" stats were majestic.
LeBron James's stats in this game were also very good, with 26 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Regardless of whether you win or lose, the data of the "little emperor" is always stable.
This point, even if it is a "sunspot", it is not acceptable!
What?
The "Zen master" said that he was "the one who shared the cake"?
This "bastard head coach" is really sour when he speaks!
You have the ability, you also go to "cut the cake"!
Wade's stats are a bit ugly, he only got 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in this game.
Because the New York Knicks "punched hard" him in this game, Li Wanlai was used to limit the whole game.
After all, the current Heat team is mainly the "twin stars" of LeBron James and Wade, and if they want to win, they basically rely on the excellent performance of the two of them.
In this case, as long as one of them can be restricted, is it equivalent to "cutting off" "one arm" of the Heat?
LeBron James is in full swing, and he is a "cake maker", even Li Wan is difficult to limit him, but Wade is different, he fell from his peak, and with Li Wan's "Defensive Player of the Season Award" level of defensive ability, he can naturally be steadily limited.
You must know that when Wade faced the Spurs in the finals this season, he averaged only 15.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game, in addition to 3.6 turnovers per game.
It was this kind of play that made LeBron James give up "brother basketball" and run back to play "hometown basketball".
Therefore, when Mike Brown said his plan, Li Wan gave him a thumbs up directly.
Easily won the Heat, Li Wan's statistics in this game were 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.
Three of those tackles were stolen from Wade's hands.
At that time, Barkley was sighing: "The Flash of the year is also old!" ”
Although it is true that he is getting older, after all, the current "Flash" is actually only 32 years old......
It's not a big age for an outside player.
It can only be said that the side effects of the lack of meniscus in the knee and Pat Riley's "death*" are gradually becoming apparent.
The Heat, who lost the first game of the series, then lost the second and third games of the series one after another.
During this period, Lewan won the "Best Defensive Player Award" this season, which is the first outside player in NBA history since Sydney Moncliffe to win the "Best Defensive Player Award" in a row.
And a trivia fact: Moncliffe is also the first player in the league to win the "Defensive of the Season" award.
On May 8, the fourth game of the series between the New York Knicks and the Heat arrived as scheduled.
Although swept was expected by Miamians.
can look at the 3-0 score, they are still like a fish in the throat, like a thorn in the back, especially ...... Chris Bosh continued to shine in Game 2 and Game 3 of the series.
In particular, in the third game of the series, Chris Bosh, who came to Miami, scored a new series high of 30 points.
Looking at Chris Bosh's formidable posture on the court, Miami fans really want to refuse to "wake up", they feel like it's a nightmare. That's not the Chris Bosh they know!
You lie!
You're lying!!
There is a saying that if you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, then slam his head......
Chris Bosh, who was completely hilarious, staged "boss dunks" again and again in front of more than 16,000 Heat players in the fourth game of the series.
After abusing the frame, there is naturally a "dragon king's roar" one after another.
The quiet "Miami Library" makes Chris Bosh's roar particularly abrupt.
The fans at the scene also explained the state of the Heat team in the game tonight from the side.
To put it simply, it can be described in three words:
Oops!
Not to mention biting the score, they can't even play a decent counterattack.
The only "normal" person in the audience may be LeBron James.
"All-Out Zhan" scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, but unfortunately they never closed the score since they fell behind by two digits in the whole game.
Speaking of which, this is also a typical LeBron James-style "single-core lead" game result.
No matter how brilliant his stats are, even if he scores 50 points, the final result is a loss. It was the same with the Spurs in '07 and then against the Warriors in '18.
With a 118-103 advantage, a 15-point advantage, the New York Knicks won Game 4 of the series and officially eliminated the Heat with a score of 4-0.
Another year of "sweeping" of LeBron James.
Now Leewan's record against LeBron James in the playoffs has reached an exaggerated 24-0!
Kobe Bryant's numbers have been called to him, and LeBron James has still not been able to win even a small game against him in the playoffs.
But LeBron is certainly not to blame for this series.
After 4 games, LeBron James averaged 31.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and he really did it to the extreme.
Compared to him, Wade's performance in this series can be described as "extremely miserable".
In the face of Li Wan's defense, after 4 games, his highest score in a single game was only 16 points, and the lowest score in a single game, which was the fourth game of the series just played, he only scored 8 points......
If Li Wan's defense two years ago had already made him lose his temper, then now Li Wan's defense makes him want to kneel down and sing "conquer" immediately. As soon as the game ended, he walked towards the home team's tunnel in frustration.
LeBron James said hello to Chris Bosh before turning around and walking towards the home team's tunnel for players.
However, Wade went into the locker room, and LeBron took the elevator directly to the parking lot below. It seems that he was not going to say anything to Wade.
Chris Bosh was still yelling loudly.
He was so excited to see the Miami leave the stadium in disgrace.
I even feel that the suffering in Miami in the past three years is worth it, it is worth it!
Why don't you like to read slap in the face!
That kind of pleasure really can't be obtained by doing anything else......
"Do you think the Heat can maintain their current lineup?"
After the game, a reporter asked Li Wan:
This question looks similar to the one asked Li Wan last season, but last season, the reporter asked whether the Heat would maintain the current lineup? And this season, the reporter asked whether the current lineup can be maintained?
Although it was only a word difference, the Heat management has now gone from active to passive.
Because this summer, LeBron James' contracts with Wade will both expire, and it will be up to them to reinstate their status as a full free agent, and whether they renew their contract or leave.
So the real question this reporter wants to ask is: Do you think LeBron and Wade will renew their contracts with the Heat? Will the two of them still be together?
Li Wandao: "I don't even know where I'm going next year, how can I know about them?" ”
The same question was asked half an hour later by Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.
Wade shook his head, I don't know.
He really doesn't know!
With his poor performance, he's not sure the Heat will renew his contract at what price. It's even more uncertain when Pat Riley will renew his contract.
LeBron James was in a trance when he heard this question.
Is this the end of four years?
He remembered that he had just arrived on the South Coast in high spirits, as if it was just yesterday.
How to ...... now?
Before you know it, four years have passed?
Looking back on these four years, he must admit that it was a failed four years.
For the sake of the championship, he did not hesitate to leave Cleveland and come to Miami with infamy. He gave up all the aura and took the most difficult path for the championship.
But as a result, in this difficult road, he stumbled to the end, still didn't get what he wanted, and was in a mess.
Now he is no longer the "pride of the sky" of the alliance!
This can be seen from the alliance's main promotion of the "07 Double Hero", and now he is still the "supergiant" of the alliance, but he is already the "supergiant" of the alliance's "second order".
Whether he admits it or not, it's still true.
And he's 28 years old!
At this age, no matter what, it can't be considered young......
Now that he has time, the time left for him is not a lot of problems, but it is about to bottom out.
Thinking about the time when he made his debut, he caused a sensation in the league, and now he has played for a whole decade, but he still has no results, and LeBron James's heart is surging with unwillingness one after another.
No way!
I can't just go down, absolutely not!
Michael Jordan also didn't get his first championship ring until he was 28 years old, and he won the second "triple crown" of his career at the age of 36......
If you do that......
Actually, I still have a long career ahead of me!
With a self-consolation, LeBron James's eyes were a little more hot. As long as he makes the right choice next, there is still hope for him to catch up with Jordan!
On May 12, two days after the New York Knicks eliminated the Heat, all eyes were on the annual lottery meeting.
This "top pick" is about Wiggins.
Therefore, there is a lot of attention.
In the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the first pick in the draft lottery, and the second and third picks in the first round were the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers, respectively.
It is worth mentioning that this draft draw was originally the second consecutive year that the Cavaliers won the first pick, and it was also the third in their four years!
This is the first time in the history of the NBA that this has happened.
In addition, the probability that the Cavaliers will get the "top pick" this time is only 1.8%, which is the same as the probability of the Chicago Bulls getting this pick in '08.
All I can say is......
The league is really partial enough to the small city of Cleveland.
After all, since the league had the draft, there are still 7 teams that have not received the top pick from beginning to end, namely the Jazz, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Heat, Pacers, Hornets and Thunder!
And the Cleveland Cavaliers are the 17th team in the league, and the team has not been established for that long, plus this "champion pick", they already have 7 "champions".
What is the "forced rise"!
However, it can also reflect the city of Cleveland to a certain extent, and it is really too small for no one to go......
Right now......
Although last season's "champion pick" made "Boss Joe" cut off his beard, but with this addition, the Cleveland Cavaliers still got 6 "champion picks" in team history, which is still the top in the league.
Cavaliers owner Gilbert tweeted excitedly after learning that the team had a 1.8% chance of getting the No. 1 pick.
Now he is more sure to pursue Li Wan!
Yes......
Although LeBron James' contract also expires this summer, he has no idea of pursuing LeBron James at all.
Just kidding, you were going to leave, you left when you left, and now you want to come back...... This "love" is something you can buy if you want to?
Of course, LeBron James didn't show that he wanted to come back, but he didn't forget his vow: he must let the Cavaliers win the championship before LeBron James!
And who is the most restrained LeBron James in this league......
Do you still need to say it?
24-0!
And Li Wan went out of Ohio State University, and the Ohio newspaper's publicity for him over the years has made him have a huge influence in the entire Ohio, if you can have him, it is not only the Cavaliers, but also Gilbert's own business.
In addition to being the owner of the Cavaliers, he and his brother mainly run the largest trust in the United States. Meantime...... They also built two casinos in Ohio......
If the Cavaliers can have Leevan, doesn't that mean they can do better business in Ohio?
It's not that he dislikes it......
Akron is indeed a small place!
What a "child of Akron"!
If we want to pursue, then pursue the "Son of Ohio"!
As for how to attract Li Wan to join, he has already thought about it:
The first was naturally to use his own enthusiasm to comfort Li Wan's heart that was hurt by Dolan; The second is naturally money, looking at the entire league, when it comes to throwing money, the Trail Blazers buddy can make him a little jealous; Third ...... Naturally, it was to build a lineup, originally there were not many chips, just one Owen, but now he has got a "champion sign"! It is not difficult to create a set of lineups for Li Wan that he wants!
Li Wan is so strong, he won't arm LeBron James to the teeth like he did in 09, and he can't win the championship!
Therefore......
He was already thinking about where Li Wan's bronze statue should be placed in the quick loan center.
