At the end of the first quarter, Chris Bosh scored 11 points in a single quarter, in addition to three rebounds and one assist.

Full of presence.

With his play, the New York Knicks finished the first quarter and also led by 9 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Derrick Rose scored nine points in a row to help the team close the gap to five points.

Mike Brown yelled several tweaks on the sidelines that didn't have the desired effect and was about to call a timeout, when Levan stepped up and first singled out Jimmy Butler, shaking the latter's center of gravity with rhythm, and then hit a jumper one step before the free throw line.

The margin was re-extended to 7 points.

Turning his head, Derrick Rose continued to break Beverley with the ball.

Beverley is known in the league for "Death Coiling" and even made it to the "Best Defensive" spot this season.

You must know that the original he was actually only in one formation, plus two second formations.

And now, he has only been a starter by Li Wan's side for two years, and he has already entered a second formation, his growth rate, and the experience of big scenes, compared with the original, is much better.

But even so, in the face of Derrick Rose, who has escaped injury, the "bite" he has always been best at, but it does not play a too obvious role.

Again, in the face of talent, hard work does not form too good a limit.

Moreover, the Bulls have a special offensive system for Derrick Rose, and almost every round, there will be interior players who will spontaneously come up to block Rose.

It is also under the specially matched blocking and dismantling system that Derrick Rose's breakthrough is even more "like a tiger with wings".

"Phew!"

With a one-arm dunk, Derrick Rose went straight up and down to complete his signature "unframed dunk" and narrowed the score back to 5 points again.

The New York Knicks continued to give the ball to Li Wan, facing Jimmy Butler, Li Wan did not dribble more this time, but directly held the ball to break through, but just when Jimmy Butler fell backwards and wanted to distance himself from Li Wan and continue to stay in front of Li Wan, Li Wan was a "quick gun", another mid-range jumper, and successfully completed the shot.

"Huh!"

One more goal!

Mike Brown's hand, which had signaled for a timeout, was now clenched into a fist and clenched hard.

yes！

The cheers at the scene were also one after another......

Li Wan once again proved with practical actions what it means to "have nothing to say, Li Wan will make a move anyway"!

With Derrick Rose's breakthrough in the next round successfully intercepted, the Bulls' counterattack in the second quarter was just pushed down.

The New York Knicks continued to give the ball to Chris Bosh to handle.

Boozer, who had just mixed up for two rounds, began to have "nightmares" again......

Chris Bosh doesn't know if he was in particularly good form tonight or if he was on the side of Boozer as soon as he hit him.

He continued his strong first quarter, adding seven more points before the end of the first half, which means that he finished the first half with 18 points, in addition to five rebounds and two assists......

This performance is not just the performance of "the second leader of the team"!

This is clearly the performance of the "team leader"!

The New York Knicks also took advantage of the situation to stretch the gap to 11 points.

But LeBron James looked at Chris Bosh's performance and the difference between the two teams, but just wanted to say:

I won't win this Li Wan give me?

Chris Bosh's stats in the first half were undoubtedly outstanding.

Even compared with Li Wan's 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, it is not much worse.

But LeBron James saw very clearly that the few rounds that Li Wan stood up in basically had two characteristics, the first feature was: the opposite side is forming a counterattack; The second feature is that the opposing defensive set-up is all aimed at Chris Bosh.

In other words, when Chris Bosh is taken care of, or the opponent forms a counterattack, it is Li Wan who stands up and scores to help Chris Bosh relieve the pressure......

After retiring after success, he "hid his merit and fame" and devoted himself to the cause of defense......

And that's not all, Chris Bosh's two assists in the first half were when he broke through the limit, and Li Wan showed up to complete the score in time.

These......

Isn't it all what he's best at?

When it comes to the ability to break through with the ball, can Chris Bosh compare to his LeBron James?

Speaking of this passing ability, it is even more LeBron James's old job!

No, why does this guy have Li Wan?

The more LeBron James thought about it, the more sour it became, and his heart felt like eating a lemon.

Because a person like Li Wan who doesn't eat the ball, can stand up at critical moments, and can catch the ball and shoot the basketball, isn't it the most complementary partner to him?

This should be a gift from God!

How to ...... now?

Instead, he became Chris Bosh's partner, and cheapened this "long-necked monster"?

There must be some stubble in this, or maybe there is some misunderstanding!

If it is said that before the start of this game, LeBron James came to the scene just to listen to the team's opinions and come to the sidelines to brush up on the presence in order to maintain the heat. So at this moment, after watching half of the game, he really had an urge to play with Li Wan in his heart.

He couldn't wait to call his agent and explain his thoughts.

This is naturally a "bombshell", there was no reply to the message for a long time, and it took about ten minutes before LeBron James finally received a reply:

- It's going to take a lot of planning, man, you know, we're getting fewer and fewer options, and every decision that follows is going to be very deliberate!

LeBron James wasn't surprised by his agent's reaction.

And he knows that his agent is not wrong, the impact of the Heat's losses in the past four years on him cannot be said to be great, but can only be said to be great!

"Decision 2" must be cautious!

Of course, if Levan knew what LeBron James was thinking at the moment, he would definitely correct his opinion:

Your team isn't just cautious because you didn't win a championship with the Heat, they've been cautious throughout.

After the original LeBron James finally lost to the Spurs this season, his contract expired and he was ready to go back to play "hometown basketball" to make up for his mistakes. His team started the classic "1 plus 1" contract.

In the end, LeBron James stayed with the Cavaliers for another 4 years, but because of the two "1-plus-1" contracts, he can return himself to full free agent status at the end of each season.

It can be said that the initiative has been grasped to the fullest.

It was also during this time that the "Eight Wise Kings" signed LeBron James's agent and got a contract of 80 million from the Cavaliers by relying on the data of "8 plus 8".

also relied on helping the "Eight Sage Kings" get a big contract, Rich Paul officially launched his fame and worth, and quickly became one of the top agents in the league.

Just looking at LeBron James and his team's operations, you really can't see that he has the slightest affection for the Cavaliers management, including sympathy!

And the 2 "1 plus 1" contracts at the peak of this peak can be regarded as creating a precedent for the renewal of "supergiants".

This abacus can be heard clearly by the whole United States......

The second half of the game started quickly.

The New York Knicks were still at the tempo of the first half.

When Chris Bosh plays regular time, when the opposite Bulls have a counterattack or the defense of Chris Bosh increases, Li Wan takes over the offensive burden and stabilizes the situation with his personal ability.

The double-digit margin lasted until the end of the game.

113-101, the New York Knicks beat the Bulls by 12 points and won the first victory of the Eastern Conference Finals, with a big score of 1-0.

Li Wan's stats were finally fixed at 29 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, in addition to 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Chris Bosh's stats weren't far behind, with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. Just looking at this data, it really makes people feel that Bosh is also the core of this team, and his status should be the same as Li Wan.

However, just as LeBron James saw the cat, the commentators also saw the New York Knicks' current offensive routine in the second half, with Chris Bosh in charge of most of the time, and Levan specializing in attacking key shots.

As he spoke, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in Barkley's mind:

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen!

Isn't this the division of labor between Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls back then?

ESPN's side also felt the New York Knicks' offense, with the Chicago Bulls in it.

Although compared to Pippen's all-round skills, Chris Bosh is a little worse.

But Li Wan's backing, as well as the support of a group of powerful veterans, will not play much worse role on the field than Scottie Pippen.

It was also this game that let everyone see how stable Li Wan could play at a critical moment with a qualified second-in-command foil.

The Bulls didn't play badly today.

A total of 101 points!

You know, the Thibodeau-era Bulls were known for their defense, and they averaged just 95.4 points per game this season.

Therefore, their firepower on the offensive end tonight is actually not weak.

Derrick Rose scored 33 points, and he played even better, playing above the level of scoring, after all, he averaged 26.5 points per game in the first round of the playoffs and 25.4 points per game in the second round, a total of 11 games, of which only 3 were 30 points in a single game.

Now the Eastern Conference Finals have scored 33 points in a single game in the first game.

It can be seen that his state is hot.

Jimmy Butler's performance was a little worse, and he was defended by Lee Wan, who only scored 8 points tonight.

Kruel Deng scored 20 points and propped up the role of the "second leader" on the offensive end.

It is said that the absolute core of the Bulls played the performance they should have, not to say that this game will definitely be won, it should also be a back and forth, and it is a pity to lose the game in the end.

But everyone who watched this game knew that the rhythm of the whole process was in the New York Knicks, or rather, it was under the control of Li Wan.

The Bulls fought back several times, but in the end, they all relied on Li Wan to stand up in time and ended up without a problem.

His ability to play the key ball tonight was really desperate.

Jimmy Butler with his hands on his hips and his head down, he has rarely felt so helpless on the defensive end, but tonight in the face of Li Wan, he really felt helpless again and again.

The gap between him and Li Wan is almost as high as Mount Everest.

He stood at the foot of the mountain, with no end in sight.

This feeling is really frustrating the more I think about it......

“nice！”

LeBron James stood up at the end of the game, clapped his hands and applauded Chris Bosh, but his afterglow had been observing Li Wan's movements, consciously or unconsciously, and noticed that when he walked to the bench, he quickly stepped forward and waited to give him a high-five.

When Levan found out, LeBron was already in front of him.

The so-called "reach out and don't hit the smiling man", he has no grudge against LeBron, nodded with a smile, and also reached out to pat him.

"Man, congratulations, you did a fantastic job tonight! Seriously, it's incredible......"

A long paragraph "flies" out of LeBron James's mouth.

Out of politeness, Li Wan stood on his heels, and when he finished speaking, he said solemnly: "Thank you."

LeBron was satisfied to bring him back to the bench.

A flash of joy flashed in the corner of his eye.

Mission accomplished!

Sure enough, before he left along the audience, a reporter stopped him at the scene: "Hey, man, you said a lot to Li Wan just now, can you tell me what you talked about?" ”

LeBron said truthfully: "I just wish him to win tonight's game, he played great...... Nothing else. ”

The reporter obviously didn't believe it, but the time to talk about it was not one sentence or two, only that?

LeBron reaffirmed: "Just talked about this." ”

The same question was asked to Leewan, who replied similarly to LeBron: "He just congratulated me on winning tonight......"

This makes the media even more suspicious.

The next day, LeBron James came to the New York Knicks to watch the game at home, which occupied a lot of traffic page.

Especially after the game, LeBron James said to Li Wan for almost ten seconds, which made many media speculate whether the two brothers had already made an appointment to transfer to the same team in the summer?

"The league is about to usher in the finale, who can stop LeBron and Li Wan from joining forces!" 》

In particular, one of the media companies had an eye-catching headline, and curious netizens followed the media to find the entertainment company LRMR to which it belongs......

Good guys, isn't this LeBron James' company?

Co-authoring yourself to make a gimmick, right?

Li Wan was also stunned for a moment when he saw the news, and then he remembered that LeBron James's original intention in creating the media was because he was tired of the media changing the narrative of what he was doing, or choosing their own narrative......

Well......

This means that he doesn't agree with what others say, and he has to say it himself!

To put it more simply:

I control my public opinion!

This may also explain why LeBron in the later period has to put the Kings' team logo P at every turn, and adds a "goat" to the suffix of his Twitter activity at every turn.

He does have a kingdom that he can fantasize about!

It's really American!

This wave of public opinion was strong enough that on the next day's non-match day, many media reporters even went to Madison Arena to guard Li Wan, wanting to see his opinion on this matter.

Li Wan didn't have the idea of "letting the bullets fly for a while", and said directly: "We really didn't talk about anything else, he congratulated me on winning the victory and playing a good performance, but other than that, we didn't talk about other ......"

"Do you have any plans to join forces with LeBron?" A reporter asked directly.

And this is also the question that Li Wan is looking forward to, and his answer is very clear: "No!" ”

The idea of the LeBron James team is to muddy the waters of the free market, so that they can increase their influence and have more initiative and ease of operation.

Just imagine, if they really let them blackmail Li Wan to order the alliance.

At that time, Li Wan will inevitably be affected.

So he has to give the answer "one is one, two is two".

Let the entire league know who is the "big and small king" in the offseason and who is the "big king" in the "big and small king"!

Li Wan's answer was very direct, and he was a little stunned when he went directly to LeBron James's team.

Doesn't it say "don't hit the smiling person with a smile"?

We're all so proactive, how can you still give such a heartless response......

And as Li Wan's answer was exposed by the media, netizens' opinions immediately changed:

"I thought it was a two-way rush, but it turned out to be LeBron upside down!"

"I still wonder, with Li Wan's strength, where do you need to join forces with LeBron James! Isn't this pulling LeBron to his thief ship? ”

"The latest news, in fact, the Heat did not have the idea of forming a Big Three at that time, but Wade and Chris Bosh led the team, and as a result, LeBron James joined the South Coast without saying a word, and the two of them passively got on LeBron James's boat!"

"I wonder why ESPN also specifically connected Chris Bosh and Wade to talk about the ......future of the Heat team after joining forces if there was no news of LeBron James' joining forces at that time."

"Then Li Wanke has to be careful, don't let LeBron James's team be pitted by then!"

……

In China, on the "hot search" function just launched by Weibo, the hot word "LeBron upside down Li Wan" also rushed to the first place on the "hot search" list.

Li Wan's words made LeBron James's team fall into infinite passivity.

This is also the reason why Li Wan saw LeBron before the start of the game last night, knowing that he came with a mission, and when this guy came to the door after the game, he specially stopped.

He's more than just polite.

There's a lot of work to be done here!

In order to make public opinion what it is now.

In this way, no matter which team Li Wanxia joins, he can avoid falling into the same situation as Wade and Chris Bosh.

After all, the combination of Li Wan and LeBron James is indeed fragrant enough, and the general manager of the average team can't resist such a temptation.

Now, the current public opinion has formed, and "LeBron sticks to Li Wan" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If Li Wan joins a new team later, the LeBron team will be the same as going to the Heat, and when the trick of "forced ship" is played, the outside world will also have a clear understanding:

It wasn't Li Wan who premeditated it with him, but LeBron James himself posted it upside down!

Upside down people......

Needless to say, the status of the team?

There is no way, as far as LeBron James's team frequently encounters the "God of Basketball" in the latter part of his career, Li Wan must guard against this hand.

Let them know that they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you playing "Liao Zhai" with me!

Oh no, the LeBron James team is the fox of the millennium, and the Li Wan side is the ...... of the millennium

This wave of "borrowing strength" made the LeBron James team "steal chickens and rice", and Li Wan got it without any effort and easily won the title of "The Man Who Makes LeBron Stick Upside Down"!

On May 20, the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals continued.

Thibodeau learned to be good in this game, no longer letting Li Wan contain his defensive set-up, and turned all the defensive set-ups towards Chris Bosh.

His idea was to have Derrick Rose play against Lee Wan and lock up the rest of the New York Knicks.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with this idea.

Derrick Rose is indeed one of the best "scorers" in this league.

But here's the problem......

Li Wan can remove the "one" of the suffix.

In terms of scoring explosiveness alone, even Kevin Durant, who regained the "scoring champion of the season" this year, has to kneel down and sing "Conquest" in front of him. No matter what, Kevin Durant's career high-scoring single-game score is only 58 points. And what about Li Wan...... I took 80 plus alone 2 times!

It's really not comparable at all!

And as the game progressed, Thibodeau also discovered the problem.

This can break through, but it really can't shoot this basketball!

In addition, Li Wan's state came up very quickly tonight, and during the hottest period of his hand, he made 3 consecutive 3-pointers, which made Derrick Rose directly call a timeout.

This scoring momentum, even if he stepped on his shoes and smoked, it couldn't catch up!

Rest, rest, rest......

At the end of the game, the New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls by 110-94, 16 points, and won the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Derrick Rose scored a new playoff high this year with 37 points.

The shooting percentage is also above 47 percent......

That's almost 2 percentage points higher than usual.

It's not too much to say that you have it all.

If it was the scoring core of the other teams in front of him, maybe this game would have been taken for him.

But who made him face it, it was Li Wan!

Li Wan's final score was fixed at 47 points, in addition to seven rebounds and eight assists, two steals and one block.

Focusing on the scoring end, he fired on all cylinders and gave Jimmy Butler another night of amnesia.

Just this guy's confused eyes after the game, Amumu came, and he had to hug him before leaving.

It's so pathetic!

Barkley teased Thibodeau's set-up on the defensive end of the game: "I don't know what Tom is thinking, he actually thinks he can win the New York Knicks by relying on the star against Biao." ”

"I don't mean to look down on Derrick Rose, he's one of the best players in the league, but it's still a long way from Leewan's level."

Kenny Smith said: "Tom is a defensive coach and he really doesn't have a good idea of the offensive end, so it's normal for him to have some problems on the offensive end at times. ”

The two of them sang and drank, and the Chicago media was half angry.

But they didn't refute it......

Because......

As angry as it is, what Kenny Smith and Barkley say is true.

Even if they themselves evaluate the scoring ability of Derrick Rose and Li Wan, they can't go against their will to say that Derrick Rose has Li Wan's level of scoring explosiveness.

Well......

From this, you can understand why, in the eyes of some groups, repeating what their giegie has said and done, is hacking their giegie......

Because the words that their giegie has said, and the things they have done, are indeed black spots!

So......

Can't mention!

Mention that life is not satisfactory!

Why do you only stare at the two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight "stupid" things that our giegie has done? Why not pay attention to his data?

I can't mention the matter of his Giegie, but I can't talk about it with a mouthful of "Jiaobi" and "helicopter".

However, Derrick Rose rarely said about TNT: "The biggest responsibility for falling behind 0-2 in the series is really me, I didn't take the lead and played better than Li Wan, I will continue to work hard, we will return to New York again, wait, let's see what happens next!" ”

It can be seen that Derrick Rose has a significant position in this team and even in the city.

Just one passage brought the whole of Chicago back to fighting spirit.

On May 22, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals moved to Chicago.

Derrick Rose, who had set the flag the day before, took the lead in this game, showing a decisive effort on both offensive and defensive ends. Under his leadership, the entire Bulls team also burst out with a strong desire to survive, as Derrick Rose said:

They're going back to New York again!

Strong willpower allowed them to play the most anxious first half, at the end of the two quarters, they only trailed by 4 points, and when the second half began, the main players of the Bulls broke out in unison, scoring 37 points in a single quarter, helping the Bulls establish an 8-point advantage.

When your opponent's hands are almost in the eye, they can still shoot the ball into the basket, and you should know that this is your opponent's night......

And at the moment, that's what most of the New York Knicks think.

A lot of the time, they didn't lose their position defensively and interfered very well, but the opposition just managed to score.

However, Li Wan's "scoring tide" broke out at the last moment, which scared the Chicago Bulls into a cold sweat.

Li Wan hit all 4 shots in the end, but the other side responded in time, making Li Wan score 40 points, but failed to help the team win the final victory.

105-100, a 5-point difference, the Chicago Bulls defended their home court and rewrote the big score to 1-2!

It was also the New York Knicks' first loss in the playoffs this season.

Derrick Rose fulfilled what he said he said and after winning Game 3, the series would definitely have to go back to New York before it was over!

The Chicago media took the opportunity to praise Ross fiercely.

Even if he fails to become the next "Li Wan" in the end, he is indeed the best defender of the "Windy City" after Michael Jordan!

The team that is holding its breath now becomes the New York Knicks......

No way, just the unreasonable feel of the third game of the Chicago Bulls series, who loses has no temper!

They admit that the Bulls are indeed much better than their opponents in the first two rounds of this year's playoffs and have the ability to beat them, but the problem is ...... This is an exaggerated way to win.

It's not basketball anymore!

This is obviously burning "dog luck"!

In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks put a different effort into the defensive end.

Aren't you very good at top throwing?

Come on, Lao Tzu is now posted like this, see how you get in!

If you have the ability, you will continue to burn your "dog luck"!

Facts have proved that the "dog luck" thing is indeed not available in every game, and the consumed "dog luck" needs to be sacrificed in other games to ensure the "conservation of character".

In this game, the Bulls suffered from "conservation of character", and how arrogant their shooting was in the last game, how embarrassing this game was.

The most vivid example is Ruhl Deng, in the last game, the British shot 5 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, and this game with 1 of 7 from outside the three-point line, which is called a "pole and pole"!

110-89, a 21-point victory, let the New York Knicks complete the "revenge", won the fourth game of the series, and the big score came to 3-1, and the New York Knicks successfully got the match point of the Eastern Conference finals!

Chicago fans were not surprised by the result.

After all, the mutual containment between Li Wan and Chris Bosh, the two strong points, is indeed not something that ordinary teams can restrict, not to mention that there are so many high-quality "puzzles" around them.

In fact, Derrick Rose was able to live up to his flag, which was a surprise to them.

Well......

All right!

It wasn't just their surprise, New York fans were also surprised to see the Chicago Bulls win Game 3 of the series under Derrick Rose. At the same time, the evaluation of Derrick Rose has soared.

Now in the hearts of New York Knicks fans, Rose is already the "second guard in the league" after Leewan!

Yes, that's right, whoever asked them to watch Li Wan's home game more, in their eyes, this young man has a great future.

The core of the team in the first two rounds didn't do it, and now Derrick Rose has done it!

Then you have to give it a thumbs up!

successfully got the match point, and the next game was at the home of the New York Knicks, so Li Wan paid a little attention to the current situation of the Western Conference finals.

It is worth mentioning that the Thunder won the first game of the Western Conference Finals, and Li Wan did not take it seriously.

But now, with the Eastern Conference finals playing 4 games and the Western Conference finals coming to the 5th game of the series, Li Wan suddenly felt that something was wrong......

How does this Thunder team look ......

It's time to enter the finals!

It's really not Li Wan's casual nonsense, but after the first game of the Western Conference finals, the Thunder team immediately won the second home court, although the Spurs returned to the home court after adjustment, and also won two home courts, rewriting the big score to a 2-2 draw.

But the fifth game of the series was at the home court of the Thunder team, and the "Thunder Three Less" broke out together, scoring 89 points together, helping the team to bite the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" and rewrite the score to 3-2.

The Thunder are one step away from advancing to the Finals!
