Ahead of Game 4 of the series, the New York Knicks finalized their new starting lineup:

"No. 1 Leewan, No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Paul Pearce, No. 4 Chris Bosh, No. 5 Tyson Chandler;"

Don't talk about others, even Li Wan was a little stunned when he saw this lineup.

Can this be in a team, and there is still a king's law?

Is there still a heavenly principle?

It's good that it's not all in the peak, if it's all in the peak......

Let's put it this way, if David Stern doesn't engage in black-box operations, it will not be a problem to win 6 consecutive championships!

D'Antoni's idea was that since he had decided to play against the Thunder, he would simply put out the most ferocious combination of firepower......

The next day, the fourth game of the finals came as scheduled, and when the commentators on the major commentators saw these five people walking on the court together, they also had some surprise on their faces:

Is it really a combination that can be put together?

Think about their age, though......

Ray Allen is 38 years old, and Paul Pierce is 37 years old, both of whom are "old men".

The rest of Chris Bosh has just been injured by the Heat, and when he came to the New York Knicks, it was once considered a small loss for the New York Knicks......

Therefore, surprise is surprise, and it is not like some groups, and they directly buckle the hat of "huddle".

And......

How can this be mixed up?

Levan was staying in New York, and Ray Allen and Pierce came to the door on their own initiative.

And some people, when others have already formed a team in twos, announce that they will take their talents to the south coast and forcibly join the group.

To give an inappropriate example, it is also divorced, Li Wan's side is a woman who takes the initiative to knock on the door and live together in his own home; And someone is divorced, and he runs to knock on someone else's door, lives in someone else's house, and has to exercise the owner's rights.

This wave!

This wave is forcibly "soft rice and hard eating"!

The cheers reached their climax when the Thunder took the court.

The last victory made the Oklahomians see how good the limit of the "Thunder Three Less" is, and also made them full of confidence in the "Thunder Three Less".

Until the last minute, they were convinced that anything was possible......

Maybe......

They went back to New York with a 2-2 draw!

Their eyes were filled with light.

The eyes of the generals of the Thunder team are full of fighting spirit!

The game started quickly.

In the jump ball stage, Tyson Chandler faced Ibaka and successfully jumped to attack first.

Li Wan held the ball to the front court, Kevin Durant intercepted it, came to him, and when he wanted to take a step forward, Li Wan lowered his center of gravity and broke directly to the right side, and with the cover of Tyson Chandler, a gust of wind rushed into the interior.

Perkins, who came out, didn't even have time to react to block, and watched Li Wan rush into the basket.

Ibaka was indeed "tough" enough, and the dunk in the first game of the series didn't seem to have any effect on him at all, and he still rushed straight up in this round to block.

Lee Wan gave the ball to Chris Bosh, who was following up.

Ibaka turned his head back to defense, and the "Dragon King" immediately returned the ball to Li Wan's hands.

"Phew!"

One-handed cleavage.

2-0！

Thunder's offensive round.

As soon as Westbrook arrived in the front court with the ball, Li Wan became entangled.

In the confrontation, Westbrook tried to tear a hole directly through strength and explosiveness. - This move is also his most common move against Beverley, and he restrained Beverly to death, and he didn't have a temper at all.

But when he bumped into Levan, Westbrook felt as if he had hit a wall for a while.

"Phew!"

With a dull sound, Li Wan didn't have anything to do, but he stumbled by himself.

Li Wan seized the opportunity, quickly pulled out the ball, and took the ball to blow the horn of counterattack.

There was an exclamation of surprise, and then all turned into boos.

Huge boos came and went, Li Wan "spread his wings", jumped one step before the free throw line was a "gliding split", and simply smashed the ball into the basket.

"Phew!"

The momentum is sinking.

4-0！

Li Wan scored four points in a row at the beginning.

Kenny Smith shook his head secretly and said in his heart:

This pervert!

When Li Wan pushed forward the counterattack, the "Wang Bang" combination followed behind him.

There is no doubt about the talent of these two people, but even the talent of these two people cannot get close to Li Wan in this "pursuit battle".

How much worse it was at the beginning, but when Li Wan completed the dunk, the difference seemed to be wider......

This shows that Li Wan's explosiveness and speed are stronger than these two people in all aspects.

Brooks motioned to give the ball to Kevin Durant.

The "Little Coach" has been in good form this season, facing Paul Pierce on the wing, forcing his shot and getting the ball into the basket accurately.

3 points in betting!

The home court of the Thunder team, which had lost its voice because of Li Wan's successive attacks on the frame, was filled with cheers.

Once again, it was the New York Knicks' turn to attack.

When Li Wan arrived in the frontcourt, he immediately glanced at Paul Pierce, and saw that he couldn't wait to return the fighting spirit, so he sent the ball towards his hand.

"Truth" took the ball and did not disappoint him.

Kevin Durant just faced Paul Pierce and although he was very relaxed, but in the same way, when Paul Pierce showed a lewd smile and said, "The kid just shot great, that uncle is going to fight on his back now", Kevin Durant's expression suddenly became stiff.

He has confrontations, but when compared to "old fritters" like Paul Pearce, his confrontation is a bit inadequate.

After the huge "arch" of the big belly generally pushed Kevin Durant to the point of love, Paul Pierce turned over and hit the jumper with ease to hit the mid-range.

After scoring this goal, Paul Pierce shook his head as he defended, as if to say, "Kid, uncle hasn't enjoyed it yet, why are you soft!" ”

The difference is 6-3!

The Thunder fought back again, and the ball was still in the hands of Kevin Durant.

Paul Pearce decisively stuck up to him, and when he tried to force a breakthrough, Tyson Chandler also made up for it at the first time.

When Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were deployed on the flanks, Tyson Chandler made one point for D'Antoni before he came on the pitch:

Supplemental defense, supplemental defense, or special supplemental defense!

Kevin Durant finally broke through Paul Pearce, looked at Tyson Chandler who was in front of him, and wanted to drop the ball to the inside, but the pass was wrong and was successfully intercepted by Li Wan.

Seeing that it was another counterattack, Westbrook, who had no choice, chose to foul.

Brooks hurried to make a substitution at this time and brought James Harden on the court.

Although he only played less than 3 minutes in the opening game, he could feel that just relying on the "king bomb combination", he could no longer keep up with the speed of the opposite side on the offensive end, and he had to put James Harden on the court earlier.

Li Wan went to the frontcourt, Paul Pierce went around the wing to catch the ball, deceived Kevin Durant, and opened the distance for Chris Bosh near the baseline on the same side, Li Wan passed the ball directly to the latter's hand, Bosh, who got the ball, held the ball alone, saw that Ibaka did not dare to defend it, and made a three-point jumper.

"Bang dang" sounded, missed!

The Thunder rushed to the basket with the New York Knicks' perimeter players, but Tyson Chandler grabbed the rebound early and took advantage of his height and reach to get a dunk on Perkins' head.

Perkins was helpless as if he was a fat man of 400 pounds.

He's really desperately trying to grab rebounds, but he's really ......

I can't jump!

8-3！

Once again, it was the Thunder's turn to attack, and Westbrook and James Harden did a cross run outside the three-point line, which smoothly formed a mismatch with Ray Allen. Then there was a "violent push", Ray Allen's physical fitness was actually not bad, but he was 38 years old, so he was crushed all the way into the inside line.

When the inside line formed an encirclement, he quickly passed the ball to the leaking Ibaka hand.

"18 Cards" mid-range hit......

5-8！

James Harden showed his role as soon as he came up.

If Severosa was still on the flank, Li Wan and Ray Allen would not have needed to switch defenses so quickly, and they could slowly bypass each other and continue to follow their targets.

Seferrosa had a three-point shot and a good percentage of shots, but only during the regular season.

He averaged 24.1% 3-pointers per game in the playoffs!

And he only averaged 1.4 shots per game......

However, seeing that the Thunder team relied on cooperation to score this time, D'Antoni was not in a hurry, and still watched with confidence.

Sure enough, in the next round, Ray Allen, who had not been moving, simply pulled up and responded with a three-pointer after taking out the vacant position on the outside.

The score came to 11-5.

Brooks hurriedly called a timeout.

Drexler shook his head.

The offensive firepower of the New York Knicks is too ferocious, especially on the opposite side is the "Thunder Three Less" who scored 92 points in the last game with three people, and against the backdrop of the three of them, it is even more ferocious that the New York Knicks have fierce firepower.

"No wonder, take down all the defense, just this firepower, what else do you need to defend, just go ahead!" Kenny Smith is also lamenting.

What they lamented, and what Brooks discovered, was clear, and he knew very well that if the Thunder still wanted to win, then there were only two ways, the first was to try to improve the defense and use the defense to limit the offense of the opposing side.

As soon as the thought crossed Brooks' mind, he gave up.

Just this New York Knicks, if they don't pull the "best defensive lineup" over and want to limit their offense, it should be no fun!

Then there is only the second option......

"I believe in your ability, you also have to believe in your ability, don't be burdened, release it to your heart's content, the last game has proved that as long as you play well, then, the whole world will make way for you!"

The second option is:

Dried this bowl of "chicken soup" and ......

Done!

This bowl of "chicken soup" has an obvious effect, as soon as Westbrook comes on the field, he is obviously more combative than just now, and he is about to rush in when he catches Li Wan, but he is covered by Li Wan's "head-on hat", and he is dizzy.

In the first round, the Thunder's offense ended with Westbrook being blocked.

Brooks subconsciously wanted to cover his face.

How did I forget this dude!

This guy can't drink any chicken soup!

Westbrook, just four words:

Reject mediocrity.

Either "kill a thousand enemies" or "damage a thousand yourself", and never do the "cowering" thing.

Just now, this was obviously going to "kill a thousand enemies", and then "lose a thousand yourself".

The New York Knicks successfully completed the counterattack, Chris Bosh received a pass from Leewan, and made a three-pointer in the bottom corner, making the difference 14-5......

1 more point!

The New York Knicks could stretch a double-digit deficit.

The game was less than five minutes into the game.

Seashell......

D'Antoni was also stunned, he didn't expect that the "all-outfit" New York Knicks would be so fierce, what kind of "defense" is this? Just go straight to the end.

He patted Mike Brown next to him: "Man, this game, you can be a spectator in peace!" ”

Kevin Durant stepped up again, and in the face of Leewan and Paul Pearce's reinforcements, he actually came back with a drifting move and dribbled the ball into the basket.

It's a pity that this shot doesn't look at the difficulty of scoring, otherwise this goal will be scored as 5 points......

And in the next round, when he was tired and tired and finally hit a difficult goal, Li Wan and Tyson Chandler completed the block, and Perkins couldn't make up for it in time, giving Li Wan an easy jump shot.

"Huh!"

The ball falls into the basket.

The margin is back to 9 points.

Seeing Li Wan's relaxed face, and not even a little change in breathing because of this goal, Kevin Durant suddenly felt the urge to cry.

That's too much of a bully!

Why did he score so easily?

Kevin Durant doesn't have much time to think about this question, because when it is the Thunder's turn to attack again, the first thing he has to think about is ...... than thinking about why Li Wan can score so easily

How to put this damn ball in the basket of the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks are almost fixed for his defensive style...... Paul Pearce was close to him, and then Leewan and Tyson Chandler watched the situation and made up the defense.

Kevin Durant's speed is above the 37-year-old Paul Pierce, but the problem is that the confrontation given by this guy makes him unable to fully exert his strength, which leads to the fact that when Kevin Durant finally got out of position and could continue to attack under the basket, the New York Knicks and other defensive players have already woken up, yawning, and waiting for him to enter the "cage".

By the way, he also gave him a math problem of "chickens and rabbits in the same cage": say that there are 6 feet on the field now, and guess how many of them are here to make up for you!

"Bang dang!"

Unable to rush to the basket, Kevin Durant, who had limited vision, simply shot directly.

This time, the difficult shot missed.

Ibaka desperately grabbed the offensive rebound, and when he was looking for offensive opportunities, he was hard pressed by Chris Bosh, and when he twisted his foot to find his teammates, the referee blew the whistle:

Ibaka walking!

"Damn it!"

The "Congolese man" muttered a sentence in his mouth and slapped the ball hard, looking a little more irritated.

Once again, the Thunder's offense ended without a hitch.

Brooks watched the score gradually expand, and at 8 minutes and 56 seconds in the first quarter, he chose to call another timeout.

This pause still works......

After this timeout, the Thunder's gradual widening margin narrowed back to 10 points.

Don't get me wrong!

It's not that there is anything changing on the Thunder's side, but on the New York Knicks' side, when Brooks called a timeout, they chose to make a substitution, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were both replaced in that round, and Li Wan returned to the No. 3 position.

The wind stopped, the rain cleared, and Westbrook, who was back in front of Beverley, was on the line again.

He scored seven straight points in the rest of the first quarter to help the team enter the second quarter with a 29-39, 10-point deficit.

At the end of the first quarter, the data on both sides were:

Li Wan 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists; Ray Allen 6 points; Paul Pierce 6 points; Chris Bosh 8 points; Tyson Chandler 5 points...... The main thing is a "rain and dew even", more flowers.

Compared to the New York Knicks, the Thunder's scoring is more concentrated:

Kevin Durant had 11 points, Westbrook had nine and James Harden had six...... The three of them combined for a total of 26 points, and the remaining 3 points were all taken by Ibaka.

The rest of the Thunder didn't score.

Of course, the Thunder didn't make any substitutions in the first quarter, Kevin Durant and Westbrook both played the whole first quarter, and James Harden didn't go off the court after replacing Sefrosa.

Nick Collison replaced Perkins at 7:45 in the first quarter, but he, like Perkins, focused on "defensive presence" and had an offensive opportunity, but unfortunately, he couldn't take it.

However, as soon as the second quarter came up, the lineup became more advantageous for the New York Knicks, in addition to Li Wan still resting off the court, Paul Pierce and Chris Bosh were both taken by D'Antoni in advance.

In other words, although the Heat did not achieve the same results this time, Spoelstra still made a huge contribution to the league, such as his tactical system of "always making sure a giant is on the court", which was used by other coaches in the league......

That's the case with D'Antoni right now.

Although it was Chris Bosh and Paul Pierce who came up, in the face of the Thunder team who did not have the "Thunder Three Less" on the floor, this lineup can really be described as "luxurious".

Brooks watched the score difference that he had finally chased close and was slowly pulled away by these two men, and at 2 minutes and 21 seconds in the second quarter, he could only bring the "Thunder Three Less" back on the court.

It is worth mentioning that he originally only planned to play James Harden, after all, he played late in the first quarter, and he was also the most physical among the "Thunder Three Less".

Results......

Jie De Anthony played "fuel tactics" with him, you have James Harden, then I have Ray Allen.

In the end, Brooks could only pull all the "Thunder Three" back on the court.

With the first quarter full, the speed of returning to the court is faster than that of the opposite core, and a foreseeable hidden danger is buried......

At 6 minutes and 34 seconds in the third quarter, the "Thunder Three Less" suddenly erupted collectively like the third game of the series, and the three of them scored 15 points in 3 minutes, once again showing their terrifying talent.

Even if Li Wan also opened the "Nerve Knife Badge" at this time, the scoring explosiveness of the "Thunder Three Less" together is obviously not something that Li Wan can compete with by increasing his offensive ability by 10%.

But just when the fans at the scene were feeling better, the hidden dangers that the Thunder had planted in the second quarter exploded......

At 4:15 of the fourth quarter, Kevin Durant, Westbrook and James Harden had physical problems one after another......

It's no wonder that they soared all the way in the last game, and this game was forced to barely have much rest, with such intensity, even if it is an "iron man", I am afraid that I can't stand it.

What's more, they are not iron men yet......

The Thunder began to make frequent turnovers.

Looking at their appearance, D'Antoni's old god appeared on his face, and a "divine smile" of "it was really as I expected".

Another important reason why he wants to speed up the pace with the Thunder is that:

Physical!

The Thunder team has played 7 games with the Spurs, and Popovich also used the "air conditioning" tactic, and in the first three games of the finals, especially the third game won by the Thunder team, the entire Thunder team's demand for the "Thunder three less" is like a young woman in her thirties and forties.

Moreover, at this time, we have to mention Westbrook again......

This "reckless man" is someone else's "reckless" with him, he will definitely follow the representative of recklessness to the end, don't talk to me about any organization, don't talk to me about any rhythm, it's over!

It is also thanks to him that the New York Knicks can pull the pace faster and faster so smoothly......

If it's Jason Kidd or something, this "war of attrition" for the Thunder's physical fitness may not be on track so soon!

And now that "the wood is in the boat", D'Antoni is also with his hands in his pockets, and he doesn't know what "pause" means. In fact, he still has 4 timeouts in his hand that are useless, but in the case of the Thunder team, he knows very well that these 4 timeouts can be left in his hand to "lay down".

At this time, you really can't give the other side a chance to breathe.

The devil knows if this short 30-second break allowed them to break through the "fatigue limit" and find their "self".

Therefore......

Don't scream!

Don't scream to death!

In Brooks' "resentful" eyes, the game was lost. - Don't ask why Brooks doesn't call a timeout, just ask...... I've run out of fucking things!

In the end, the game was over, 128-109, and the New York Knicks defeated the Thunder by 19 points, won the fourth game of the series, and returned to New York with match points.

Li Wan finished the game with a series-high 40 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

In this game, when the "Thunder Three Less" had physical problems, the New York Knicks actually led by 11 points, but it was at this time that Li Wan broke out and scored 10 points in a row, helping the team's point difference to expand to more than 10 points, and thus locked the win.

When Li Wan scored in a row, all the commentators were stunned.

They didn't expect that the game was already in the fourth quarter, and this guy still had such physical fitness and such explosive power.

Don't have to defend Kevin Durant's Leewan......

It's too strong!

"He's sacrificed so much for this team!" Barkley sighed.

Defense has never been the core job of a team, but Li Wan took the initiative to take on the responsibility of defending Kevin Durant in the first few games.

Kevin Durant scored 37 points, the first time in the series that he scored less than Lee Wan in a single game.

However, before his physical problems, his score was higher than Li Wan's, and at that time Li Wan only scored 25 points, and he had already scored 33 points.

It's just that Li Wan then scored 10 points in a row, quickly overtaking the score, and also opened up the gap between the New York Knicks.

In Kevin Durant's eyes, what he sees is that the distance between himself and Li Wan is getting farther and farther......

He's so close that there are so many!

Of course, this is his own idea, but the commentary seat is full of sighs for him.

In this game, Kevin Durant, who is not the main defense of Li Wan, averaged 55% shooting per game, which was 5 percentage points higher than his previous three games.

It's scary!

It was also in this matchup with Kevin Durant that Paul Pierce was once again glad that he was with the New York Knicks...... As far as a guy like Kevin Durant is concerned, apart from the New York Knicks, Paul Pierce really can't think of which team he is on that can win him steadily!

However, although he was blown up by Kevin Durant on the defensive end, he also completed his task perfectly on the offensive end, and he scored 18 points in 30 minutes tonight, which did a good job of containing the Thunder's wing.

Li Wan scored 10 points in a row in the fourth quarter, and it was inseparable from the fact that he had already pinned down the Thunder's flank in front of him and opened up enough space!

Westbrook had 19 points, five rebounds and four assists tonight, in addition to six turnovers and shooting 33.3 percent from the field.

Facing Li Wan tonight, he used the same tactics he used to deal with Beverley against Li Wan, and the result was to hit himself on the head and bleed.

With Li Wan's current physical fitness, it is indeed not a difficult thing to defend against a "stunned youth" like Westbrook.

Just kidding, LeBron James said that he can defend everything, almost the LeBron James No. 1 version of Westbrook, can he prevent it? After all, Westbrook is one size smaller than LeBron James in every way, and ......

Compared with Westbrook's god-like shooting ability, LeBron James can be said to be a "god shooter"!

Li Wan still restricts him very easily.

James Harden scored 19 points.

Shooting 40 percent from the field......

In this game, he and Ray Allen belonged to "mutual torture", although Ray Allen could not limit his offense with the ball, but similarly, in the offensive round of the New York Knicks, he could only desperately chase Ray Allen.

Originally, fitness was a big problem for James Harden. This time he followed behind Ray Allen's ass, consuming physical energy all the time, making his physical energy consumption even faster than usual.

So much so that although he played a few minutes later than the "King Bomb Combination", the speed at which his physical energy was consumed was not slower than theirs.

Before Kevin Durant was tired, he was tired.

"Lee, first of all, congratulations on winning tonight's game, after this victory, you also managed to get match point, and then you will return to your home court, which could also be your last game with the New York Knicks...... What I want to know is, do you have any special preparations for this game? ”

After the game, the eyes of reporters have been set on the next match.

Winning the Thunder again, the New York Knicks are only one last game away from "four consecutive championships".

At the same time, this will also be Li Wan's real "last dance" at the New York Knicks!

Otherwise, if he wants to return to his home court to win the championship, he will have to play the 7th game of the series, and with Li Wan's character, he will definitely not allow such an unsafe thing to happen.

So......

Game 5 of the series is a game that cannot be missed, even for the New York Knicks, who hold three match points.

Reporters want to know Li Wan's attitude towards this game and the performance he wants to play in this game.

"I hope ...... It was a night that would please all New Yorkers! ”

Li Wan's reply was brief, but it exploded in New York the next day.

New York-born Hollywood actress Alexandra D'Addario affectionately "confessed": "You know what? Li Wan, in the case that you are about to leave New York, no matter what kind of performance you play, we will not be satisfied, but will feel sorry! ”

Her words spoke to the hearts of most New York fans, and it also made her Twitter gain 300,000 followers in half a day.

This is Li Wan's current popularity and influence in New York.

Any female star who expresses a good impression of him is an object of concern in the eyes of New York fans, not to mention the others, this mouth ...... It's sweet!

Grief and reluctance permeated New York.

Knicks fans really don't want tomorrow to come so soon, or even ......

"Li Wan, if you don't win the championship, won't you leave?"

"If the New York Knicks don't win this championship, Li Wan, will you stay?"

"I suddenly don't want to see the New York Knicks win the championship, so maybe Li Wan won't be gone!"

……

In their impression, Li Wan has always been a very responsible "domineering president", so that they can "open champagne" in advance without scruples, such a person is absolutely impossible to allow himself to leave when he is a "total runner-up", oh, sorry, the "runner-up" has no trophy!

Since the "runner-up" does not have a trophy, what are you going to exchange for the "championship" trophy?

It is absolutely impossible for Li Wan to allow himself to leave as the "overall runner-up......

So......

Kevin Durant, can you give some strength and beat Leewan?

Yes!

A similar voice suddenly became louder.

New York fans are completely crazy, for them who have always regarded the championship as their fate and only looked at the results and did not look at people, Li Wan has unknowingly become a more important existence than the championship trophy!

At least that's the case for now......

They are well aware......

Without Li Wan, New York would have such a championship trophy at most, but if Li Wan continued to be in New York, there would be N championship trophies!

Well......

This is the "talk of experience" they realized when they looked at the sad Angelenos!

Look at how many O'Brien Cups, Angelenos have lost to a championship!

This is a typical "small loss", they think they have earned, but in fact they have lost their leggings.

Even more exaggerated......

When New York fans teach their children, they scold the "Los Angeles cubs" who are "stupid"!

Kevin Durant is angry......

He felt insulted!

Damn New Yorkers, do you really think we're going to lose?

I actually came to cheer!

Wait, wait and see us win back one game at a time, and finally come back and win the championship!

Kevin Durant still has a heart that wants to be reversed......

Brooks is a little more practical than him, and his goal is not to win three in a row, but to ......

"Next game, let's win it back!"

Yes!

His goal is to win one more game.

In the current situation, as long as one more win, even if the Thunder lose Game 6 of the series, it can make the New York Knicks unhappy.

He went through the newspapers today, so he knew very well how important Game 5 of the series was to the New York Knicks and to Leewan.

Without thinking about playing Game 7 of the series, if they want to end the "Lee Wan era" for the New York Knicks perfectly, then they will have to win tomorrow's game.

"Think about how regretful Li Wan will be when he didn't finish the last game of his New York Knicks career on his home court and lift the championship trophy, and how sorry New York fans will be!"

It would be even better if the sixth game of the series was deliberately abandoned because of this!

Even if they lose, the Thunder are still honored.

You know, no team has been able to force Li Wan to Game 7 of the series in the finals!

Brooks's words are very effective, before the start of the fifth game of the finals, his words made the Thunder team full of energy, especially Kevin Durant, who was already holding his breath and wanted to win three games in a row, was even more energetic, vowing to win the fifth game of the series, leaving Li Wan with some imperfect regrets!

On the New York Knicks' side, D'Antoni also talked to Li Wan once.

"Man, don't worry about it tomorrow, and try to break the single-game scoring record in the finals!"

The current NBA Finals single-game highest score belongs to Elgin Baylor!

In the 1962 NBA Finals, Baylor scored 61 points against the Celtics, creating the "scoring myth" of the Finals, and this "myth" has not been broken even by the "God of Basketball"!

However, even though "Baylor" scored 61 points, in the end of that game, the Lakers were defeated by the Celtics led by Russell......

What do you mean by that?

That's fate!

This kind of performance can't make the team win, and then think about the "Baylor Ye" "no championship" in his entire career...... It's quite reasonable!

When Li Wan heard D'Antoni's words, he had a feeling at that time:

Floated!

Floated!

This "mustache" is completely floating!

This is the stage of the Finals, and without thinking about how to win, he actually instigated the core of the team to break the historical record of the NBA Finals......

This trainer ......

It's really in vain that Li Wan took him to win the "three consecutive championships", and is about to get the "four consecutive championships"!

You must know that there are two people tied with him for the "triple championship", but if the New York Knicks win the "4 consecutive championships", then he De Antoni and even Phil Jackson will squeeze down, second only to the "Cardinal"!

Of course, as far as the Celtics' "eight consecutive championships" record is concerned, it is estimated that no team will be able to break it until the NBA collapses......

After all, this is not something that can be completed by just one generation of "core lineup", in order to continue the team's "core lineup", the "Cardinal" has played many tricks, and almost the entire NBA has completed his "2k game" alone, which ensures that the "Green Army" can always be strong.

Now that the league's official control of the league is above any team, it is difficult for any team to achieve "8 consecutive championships".

Even, the New York Knicks' "four consecutive championships" should not have appeared.

Fortunately, this "triple crown" is in the transition stage of the league's president, and David Stern wants a happy result, but catches up with the "joke" to clear up.

It also coincided with the signing of a new broadcast contract by the alliance, and Li Wan's "last dance" was needed as a gimmick to ensure exposure to the outside world......

That's what gives the New York Knicks a chance to continue to dominate the league.

It's not that David Stern doesn't want to move, it's that the current situation needs to be stable!

I don't know how long I will have to wait for the next opportunity like this......

Besides, with the advent of the era of big contracts flying all over the sky, people's hearts are fluctuating, and they want big contracts with a little bit of data, and they think that they have to be the absolute core of the team when they get a big contract, if you dare to let me sit on the bench, I dare to play "who is undercover" with you, even if there is a "big brother" with 4 crowns in the team, people are not convinced.

Even if there is such an opportunity, it will be difficult to achieve such an achievement.

In four years, there will always be some contradictions that will be infinitely magnified......

In this way, it is equivalent to saying that he D'Antoni will become the second person in the "head of the alliance" under the "cardinal"!

This honor is in his body, unless D'Antoni himself doesn't want to play, or he is afraid that he can do it to death in the position of head coach.

Thinking about it this way, it is also understandable why D'Antoni thinks so much about Li Wan.

However, Li Wan refused.

The Thunder is the team with 3 regular season MVPs in the end, and it cannot be underestimated.

In fact, from the very beginning, Li Wan didn't plan to make any big moves in this "last dance", just take a 40 or 50 points......

The main thing is to win the game.

His previous reply to reporters can be understood as ......

Bait!

Make the Thunder guys think he wants to do something, and then target him to help the rest of the team score more easily!

As long as you can win the fifth game of the series and lift the O'Brien Cup at home, that's enough!

Li Wan replied to D'Antoni with a smile: "I have left enough legends for this city, and I don't need to deliberately leave something at the end!" ”

D'Antoni couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

Good B!

I give 9 points!

But he also knew that Li Wan was telling the truth...... If Li Wan didn't have enough legends in the past four years, then other NBA players really relied on the defense......

Maybe it's because of Li Wan's truth that people want to kick him twice, right?

It's so bad~

At the end of the conversation, D'Antoni suddenly said to Li Wan: "Li, it's a pleasure to work with you!" ”

Li Wan looked at D'Antoni and could feel his sincerity, and nodded: "Me too!" ”

Finally, on June 9, the fifth match day of the finals arrived.

Outside Madison Square Garden, there was a depression, and the "retention" posters that could be seen everywhere made all the New York fans present red-eyed.

Dolan quietly bought a season ticket to Moscow.

Because there are no tears in Moscow.

When Li Wan drove by, he deliberately stopped the car and glanced at the fan square twice, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.

Seriously, he's had a great time with the New York Knicks for the past 4 years.

If it weren't for Dolan's words, he wouldn't have had the heart to leave.

Can......

After all, we have to look forward!

Li Wan restarts the car.

As the last battle of the New York Knicks players, it's coming!

The atmosphere in the stadium was much more normal, and when Li Wan appeared, the audience sent huge cheers and shouts, although they were reluctant, they still hoped to witness Li Wan's fourth cup in New York.

It's better than watching Li Wan win the cup at the Thunder's home court through the screen......

Kevin Durant looked at Li Wan with great desire, and they who were successfully "brainwashed" by Brooks now have an idea of returning to their home court with the game.

In that way, even if they lose, they can be regarded as adding a little imperfection to everyone in the New York Knicks!

David Stern was also on the scene tonight, watching Li Wan walk onto the court, his eyes were somewhat embarrassed.

Originally, he thought that he would come to the New York Knicks' home court as a spectator this year, but he didn't expect the "joke" to happen, resulting in him still being the president.

I knew that he wouldn't have awarded Li Wan the "GOAT of the 10s" so soon.

Li Wan, who won the "three consecutive championships", relied more on his continuous publicity and momentum, and brought the aftermath of "The Night of Becoming a God", which pushed him to that position.

It's just David Stern trying to satisfy his own selfishness:

There are two "gods" in the NBA, one in the "David Stern era" and the other in the "David Stern era".

If you really want to be more serious, Li Wan, who is still the "four-time champion", is more suitable to sit in this position.

Of course, even if you sit early, there is nothing wrong with it, and it just so happens that this year's championship can make Li Wan sit more firmly in this position.

Winning this championship, Li Wan has 5 championship trophies and 5 finals MVPs, as well as 3 regular season MVPs......

In terms of hard stats, he has caught up with the top five echelons in the league, and he doesn't even need to think about his age.

If you think about age......

That's even more terrifying!

Let's put it this way, when Li Wan really wins his fifth "championship" trophy, Michael Jordan's "basketball god" position will definitely not be so stable anymore.

But......

Li Wan maintains the current situation, and there is really no problem in catching up with the "God of Basketball".

Do you want to exceed ......

That's a bit harder!

You must know that the reason why Michael Jordan is a "god" is that in addition to playing more than n terrible performances and statistics in his 15-year career, it also has a lot to do with his off-court influence.

His two retirements have caused a noticeable decline in the NBA's attention......

It's no exaggeration to say that Michael Jordan was the NBA in the 90s!

Although countless ratings are showing that Li Wan's influence in the NBA is becoming bigger and bigger, after all, this is still due to the development of the times, and it is impossible to count it all on him.

Moreover, Michael Jordan also made Wall Street shake twice, this kind of influence is really not something that a basketball player can have!

Especially when Li Wan didn't really play against Michael Jordan...... Just like in football, Pele is the "king of the ball", Maradona is also the "king of the ball", Messi is still the "king of the ball", there is no unified statement that which one must overpower the other, the main reason is that they have not met on the field.

Therefore, in addition to continuing his momentum on the court, Li Wan must also have more influence on the court.

It can be seen from here how difficult it is to become the "best in history", it is really not a matter of winning 4 championship trophies and winning an all-time total scoring title!

It's a pity......

He's going to leave New York next......

This makes David Stern a little sorry too.

At the same time, I began to think about how to help Li Wan continue to maintain his influence off the field in the new team......

The current form is already clear, Kobe Bryant has slipped from his peak, which means that the bright 00s have officially become a thing of the past, this is a new era, which belongs to the era of Li Wan.

Since he is still in this position, what is there to say......

Holding Li Wan is the best choice!

It just so happens that "international players" has become the main theme of "NBA internationalization", which is also a wonderful move for the NBA to continue to expand its influence in the world!

As for how to hold it, David Stern really doesn't have any ideas for the time being, and the main reason is very simple......

He doesn't know which team Li Wan's next home is now!

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle interrupted David Stern's thoughts.

The fifth game of the finals has officially begun!

The New York Knicks successfully grabbed the first offense, Li Wan strode and dribbled to the frontcourt, and when Kevin Durant pushed in front of him, the pace slowed down slightly, but when the distance between him and Kevin Durant was closer, Li Wan suddenly made a force and forced a breakthrough.

Kevin Durant reacted, and when he subconsciously exerted his strength, the two had already confronted each other.

There is mental arithmetic and no intention.

Li Wan pushed Kevin Durant away and rushed straight inside. Ibaka stared at Li Wan with his eyes, and had a "life and death" race with him, but in the end, Li Wan was better, grabbed half of the body, and there was a confrontation in the air, Li Wan's body leaned to the side, but his excellent arm span still allowed him to press the ball into the basket.

"Phew!"

In the first goal of the opening game, Li Wan forced himself against Ibaka and completed a one-arm split.

The domineering ball shook the cheers on the scene!

This ball......

It's tough!

day1！
