Chapter 337: Cleveland, This Is......
After scoring 84 points in the previous game to lead the team to win the third game of the series, Li Wan scored 71 points in a single game to help the team win the fourth game of the finals.
Not to mention scoring 70 points in a single game in two consecutive games.
Even if it is just such a single game of 70 plus, it is an unprecedented performance in the history of the finals, as for whether there will be another Li Wan in the future......
I don't know!
One thing is certain......
At least at present, among the current group of stars in the league, it is basically impossible to give birth to such a phenomenal supergiant.
ESPN even thinks that "this is already a great performance beyond the level of Michael Jordan".
"Don't forget, Lee Wan and the Cavaliers are facing a 73-win team in the league......"
This means that Li Wan played such an inhuman performance in the face of the strongest opponent. If this is a team that is not so strong, it must not be even more exaggerated?
However, some media put forward different opinions: "We can see that when facing other opponents, Li Wan often does not play such a strong performance, because he always leaves that stage to his teammates, and he himself chooses to stand up when the team needs him the most, just like the third game of the series Kwame Brown was injured, just like the fourth game of the series Pekovic was injured...... At that moment, Li Wanfang will play a stronger performance......"
"From that perspective, maybe we have to thank the Warriors' defense, and it's the team that they've put in danger that we've seen such an incredible individual show!"
Of course, the article was attacked by the crowd shortly after:
"What's that, thanks? The Warriors are a bunch of trash! β
"This is the second time in a row that there has been a stepping incident, and it was done by the same person, and we have to suspect that this team is doing these things on purpose!"
"The league should warn the Warriors that this is not the way to win!"
β¦β¦
And after Li Wan spoke out, the criticism of the Warriors and Green became more and more intense.
From head coach Steve Kerr to Stephen Curry, they have all been the targets of shelling.
Even the Warriors announced Green's injuries: a broken nasal bone, a severe contusion to his lower back, and misalignment.
It has been confirmed that he will miss the next game in the finals.
But there was still no sympathy.
Because the Cavaliers' injury report on Pekovic has also come out.
Green's stepping up has caused Pekovic's old injury to become more and more complicated, as far as is known......
It is quite possible to choose to retire this summer!
After Li Wan said that "Green's career is a career, and Pekovic's career is also a career", this account was naturally all counted on Green.
Seeing the whole situation escalate, the Warriors management had to impose an intra-team penalty on Green: a $100,000 ticket and a 10-game suspension.
Then Green, who was still in the hospital bed, recorded a sincere apology video.
Of course, an apology is an apology, and it is definitely impossible to make him admit that he deliberately stepped on his feet. - He knew very well that if he really said that, the punishment at the alliance level alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.
If some things are not on the table, then there is nothing, but if they are on the table, then it is ......
I don't know if the tragic scene in the video has aroused the sympathy of netizens, and the criticism of Green and the Warriors has become much quieter.
There are even quite a few people who stand up to speak for Green:
"He's already been punished, and I think this matter can be turned over!"
However, before the game began, there was a grapevine that "the reason why Green apologized was not really guilty, but because he received death threats from the Pekovic family......"
Fortunately, once this kind of news is exposed, there will be a mysterious force to suppress it on the spot, so it has not caused a wide range of discussions.
Li Wan was asked before the game: "Green has apologized, do you think this matter is in the past?" β
Li Wan shook his head: "What I am more concerned about now is to win the fifth game, win the championship trophy this season, and then other things, although I am not the party, but I still feel that this matter is not completely over!" β
His remarks made the voices of public opinion, which had finally been reduced, suddenly burn violently again.
At this time, the Golden State Warriors have a feeling of stormy weather.
Li Wan's words are comparable to butterflies in the tropical jungle of the Amazon.
But there is still no official action...... This can't be blamed on them, after all, as an official, they can't intervene without evidence.
It's like a mess of the league's teams, although the league strictly prohibits it and is not allowed to mess up, but this kind of thing, as long as the team concerned doesn't say it, the league can't do anything.
But if the team concerned showed a little bit of horse's feet, just like the Mavericks in the 22~23 season, Jason Kidd just felt it when he was interviewed by the media, and they immediately seized the opportunity, intervened in the investigation, and successfully punished the Mavericks.
Although they are angry about the Warriors' behavior, as long as the Warriors bite to death, this is an accidental act, and it is not that they intentionally want to do it, and there is nothing the league can do about it.
Li Wan knew what the alliance was, so he never expected the alliance to do anything for him.
Moreover......
He doesn't need the alliance to do anything for him, which will be criticized in the future.
You can't despise that person, understand that person, and then become that person, right?
The privileges of the alliance, he doesn't want it, and he doesn't care.
He has his own plans!
Before that happens, though, there's a more important thing, and that's to bring this season's championship from Golden State back to Cleveland, fulfilling the promise made to Cleveland......
The Oracle Arena was packed tonight, but they were more worried tonight than they were in the first two games of the Finals.
Although G4 is finished, both sides reimburse a player.
But the Cavaliers are only reimbursed for Pekovic with the attribute of "wonder soldier", and what they reimburse is the core of the team's tactical system!
Without Green, it means that the "Death Five" can't fight, and without the "Death Five", how can Stephen Curry's characteristics be brought to the extreme?
As can be seen from the predictions of major media before the game, most people believe that the Cavaliers will easily win Game 5 of the Finals and lift the championship trophy at Oracle.
David Stern was also on the scene at the moment.
When the big screen at the scene was given to him, the audience was overwhelmed with boos.
As for the reason......
After Green stepped on his feet again, news came out of David Stern's office: David Stern was dissatisfied with the Warriors' repeated stepping behavior, and even spoke to the referee association on the phone.
David Stern's high attention can be said to be one of the key factors in the wave after wave of public opinion in the outside world.
Look at the devastation of the Warriors players as they appear on the court during the home ceremony.
It is obvious that these people are not lightly disturbed by the public opinion of the outside world.
In this state, how can you fight to the death?
What more good looks do you say Warriors fans can give David Stern?
They can't wait to rush up and gnaw David Stern directly!
Sure enough, the Warriors made a coordination error in the first round, and Bogut, who finally jumped to the ball, skimmed the ball to Stephen Curry, who dribbled to the frontcourt and gave it to Kerry Thompson, who received the ball at the top of the arc.
Thompson turned his head and flicked the ball towards the wing.
As a result, Yin Godala chose to cut into the air. The ball flew straight into the hands of the fans on the sidelines.
The first round was wasted.
And the impact of the absence of Green at the top of the arc is clearly revealed.
This station looks simple, but it is really not a simple thing to operate.
In the defensive rounds that followed, the Warriors once again showed the impact of their absence on the defensive end of the floor when Green was missing.
Yoongodala is still responsible for gnawing Lee Wan on the outside, but when Lee Wan and Adams' pick-and-roll cooperation threw him away, the rest of the Warriors interior line did not have as timely defensive maneuver as Green.
As soon as Bogut ran to the halfway line, Li Wan had already thrown the ball high towards the basket, and after the ball fell to the level of the basket, it was clenched by a pair of big hands, and then smashed into the basket.
Adams took the dunk in the air.
2-0οΌ
In the Warriors' counterattack round, Stephen Curry faced Li Wan's entangled defense in the frontcourt, and finally came to block and dismantle while waiting on the dribble, and when he was about to shoot around the screen, Wiggins next to him immediately wrapped it up.
Curry switched to a pass and gave it to Barnes on the wing.
The North Carolina Eagles raised their hands and threw ......
Miss!
Barnes actually had a three-point performance, which was definitely not obvious.
Inside Chris Bosh rushes for a rebound.
Steve Kerr looked at the interior rim that had become so weak without Green, and he also spread his hands helplessly.
Before he could stop, the Cavaliers' counterattack was already complete.
The Warriors contracted quickly, but they couldn't stand the Cavaliers' rim attack, and Lee Wan passed the ball to each other with Wiggins and Chris Bosh, and the final frame went back to Lee Wan.
Before he could figure out how to attack, he threw himself into the air first, and in the face of Bogut's interference, he finally decided to dodge Bogut's hand in the process of changing hands in the air, and then complete the crackling with one hand.
"Phew!"
4-0οΌ
Li Wan deliberately hung on the basket for a while, and only then did he fall when he saw that he had no feet waiting for him when he landed.
He did this very well, and when Barkley saw it, he laughed strangely. Thousands of miles away, in the Quick Loan Arena, there was a cheer from the full audience.
Li Wan's action to express dissatisfaction, in their opinion, Thai pants are spicy!
The opening game was two violent dunks, and the Cavaliers' momentum obviously made the Warriors a little dizzy, coupled with the absence of the usual "command brain" Green, they missed another hurried shot in the next round of offense.
Adams protected the rebound himself and gave the ball to Leewan.
In the frontcourt, when he was directing his teammates to run, he suddenly hit the inside line, and a "one-arm crackling dunk" against the defender directly caused Steve Kerr to call a timeout.
6-0οΌ
The Warriors fans on the scene, who were already a little worried, are even more worried. The entire arena is about to become "the largest library in the Golden State".
Steve Kerr took the tactical board and laid out a detailed offensive routine.
The immediate priority is to quickly score a goal and break the "scoring drought".
Stephen Curry's performance of Lee Wanshi's dribbling struggle was seen by him, so he gave the finishing right to Yoongodala in this round.
Tactics are worked out......
But you have to be able to fight, that's a good tactic!
The Warriors who returned to the court, even the first two combinations were completed in a situation of embarrassing mistakes, and the whole offensive operation was really a bit unsmooth.
The Cavaliers changed their defensive strategy at this time, expanding out in various ways and not giving him a chance to shoot threes.
With the final six seconds left in 24 seconds of offensive time, Thompson made a high-profile plea to the inside, which went straight into the hands of Chris Bosh.
The Cavaliers fought back again.
The scene was completely silent.
And the Cavaliers are getting more and more hilarious.
For the rest of the day, the Warriors became visibly impatient and overwhelmed.
Even if there is a chance for all kinds of shots, how to shoot and how to shoot.
It wasn't until 6:14 of the first quarter that Kerry Thompson scored the first goal of the game.
At this time, the Cavaliers had already scored 19 points in wave after wave of offense......
Seeing that the first quarter is about to play "garbage time"!
The Warriors can only call one more timeout.
"The absence of Green is too big an impact on this team!" Bill Wharton said, "A lot of the Warriors' tactics are opened from Green's point, and in his absence, the Warriors can only rely on strong shots and strong kills, and there is no smooth coordination at all......
But with the Cavaliers' defensive lineup, it is difficult to form an effective offense with a backcourt combination of the "Splash Brothers" alone.
Of course, the most important thing is that the current "Splash Brothers" are still on the rise, not the "Splash Brothers" who have experienced the world in the future, although they have just won a championship trophy, but if they really want to say, they are indeed still on the road, and they are not so sophisticated.
Without Green, they don't feel like they're running right!
Stephen Curry, in particular, was his explosive year, and his performance would not have been more than that.
He's the MVP of the regular season!
It's a pity that he met Li Wan, who was at his peak.
It feels like "Fliggy" Barkley met Michael Jordan in the championship that year.
Barkley was still beaten like that grandson by Jordan.
He was not as mature as Barkley at that time, and he was naturally even more restrained in the face of Li Wan.
It can only be said that there is a difference between the regular season MVP and the regular season MVP!
Thanks to the whistle of this game, there was nothing wrong, otherwise I am afraid that the Warriors will be even worse at this moment......
However, they are the defending champions and their scoring momentum has changed significantly after this pause. Finally, at the end of the first half, the Warriors scored 15 points at the end of the first quarter after a slump in the first half, and on the Cavaliers' side, wave after wave of offense, their final score was fixed at 36 points.
Other words......
In the first quarter alone, the Cavaliers won by 21 points!
David Stern saw the situation and was ready to get up and run to the backcourt, waiting to come out with the O'Brien Cup.
It's still hairy!
It can be seen that there are already Warriors fans who have secretly left the court......
They couldn't afford the Warriors losing their last game with a rout.
The fans can't accept it, and neither can the Warriors players.
As soon as the second quarter began, their overall fighting spirit increased significantly, and then their entire offensive state changed. The Warriors' first offense in the second quarter was the cooperation of the "Splash Brothers", Kerry Thompson received a pass from Stephen Curry and hit a 3-pointer.
Then, the same combination was repeated, but this time it was Kerry Thompson who passed the ball to Curry, and the "schoolboy" hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
These two consecutive three-pointers made the scene a little more noisy.
It's just that the opponent they are facing is not the "best in history" of relying on teammates in the early stage and "whitewashing" with one goal at a critical moment, and they are facing ...... is the hardest man at the critical moment of this alliance - "God" Li Wan!
In the face of Yin Godala's defense, he called for a block and then rushed directly to the inside to complete the score. Then another misplaced three-point shot against Stephen Curry stopped the Warriors' offensive wave one by one.
Even, the offensive on the Warriors' side stopped, but Li Wan's offensive continued.
scored 19 straight points in the second quarter......
Li Wan used his toughest performance to let the Cavaliers still maintain a 24-point advantage into the second half in the Warriors' fierce counterattack.
As soon as the second half came up, the resilience of the Warriors was still good, but on the Cavaliers' side, others also turned into howling wolves under Li Wan's performance in the second quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the score difference came to more than 30 points.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Steve Kerr once again emphasized tough defense: "As long as we fight hard enough, then any game can be won!" β
With that, he glanced meaningfully at Bogut.
In 05, Zhuangyuanlang secretly complained.
Of course he knew what Cole meant...... This is to make him "clumsy"!
But what's the wind out there now!
If he dares to do this, he will definitely become a loss to the outside world.
So he ......
Don't want to!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, his eyes were evasive.
Steve Kerr had no choice but to call another timeout to remind Bogut.
If you don't come up with a killer move, it's too late to win the game...... After Bogut's delay in the fourth quarter, there were only more than six minutes left.
But the difference is almost 30 points......
Even if Li Wan is sent down, it is a little difficult to chase so many points in such a short time.
Can't put it off any longer!
Bogut saw that Steve Cole was so insistent and wanted to mess with him in this league, so he could only nod his head.
It's just that Li Wan keenly noticed this, and he also deliberately warned Bogut with his eyes, seeing that this guy was still approaching him intentionally or unintentionally, he could only remind his teammates to pay attention to his feet.
"There's another clumsy person, and he's going to make trouble!"
When he said this, whenever the Cavaliers jumped up, they would subconsciously glance at their feet.
In this way, even if the other party stretches their feet, they can take precautions early.
It's just that in this way, the mind can't help but be a little distracted, and the Warriors took the opportunity to narrow the gap to within 20 points.
There are just over 4 minutes left in the clock.
It's too late, it's still too late......
But what he didn't notice was that the Warriors' breathing began to grow heavier. - Don't forget, this team experienced a tie-break in both the Western Conference semifinals and finals.
Now the scale of confrontation in the finals is also close to that of ten years ago......
As the finals came to the fifth game, the hidden dangers of physical fitness were gradually revealed.
For the next two or three minutes, the Cavaliers only maintained their current defensive intensity, and the Warriors themselves plummeted due to fitness problems.
And when the time fell below the last one and a half minutes, the Quick Loan Arena was already full of cheers......
Even they, who have always been safe, watched the Cavaliers lead by 20 points at this time, and finally couldn't restrain their inner restlessness:
It's time to win the championship!
It's time to win the championship!
Many Cleveland people's eyes have begun to redden.
However, just as the clock was ticking to the last minute, Leewan, who was passing by Steve Cole with the ball, suddenly rushed towards the latter. The latter was defenseless and was thrown straight to the ground.
"Phew!"
There was a dull sound, and before Steve Cole could react, what had happened, he felt like he had been hit hard in the face, and his eyes were full of stars.
"Phew!"
Another punch, this time to his cheek, while he could clearly feel something flying out of his mouth, and that was......
Several teeth!
Then Li Wan hit faster and faster, and Cole could only hold his head in embarrassment to protect his face.
Until Li Wan was pulled away, he subconsciously wiped his face, but saw bright red.
This is......
What the hell is the situation?
He got up and wanted to lash out at Li Wan.
But Li Wan had already twisted away from the person who was holding him next to him, and left the scene in the referee's blowing.
The footage of the scene was repeatedly given to David Stern on the sidelines at this time.
The latter was also confused, not knowing what he was discussing with the entourage next to him, and then glanced at Li Wan in the away team's passage.
When Li Wan left the scene, a group of reporters surrounded him, and they were watching from the sidelines, and they wanted to know why Li Wan suddenly made a move towards Steve Cole. Li Wan didn't say anything, just said: "I said, this matter is not over!" β
Then under the protection of the staff, he entered the locker room.
A small TV in the locker room was showing a live game.
With 43 seconds left on the clock, the Cavaliers' lead was 19 points. With such a time and such a lead, even if Maddie starts the "Maddie Moment", he can't even think about winning.
Li Wan was also sure of this, and only then did he move towards Steve Cole.
The game restarted after the team doctor gave Steve Cole a lengthy stop to the bleeding.
Stephen Curry hit a free throw to close the deficit to 15 points......
The ball was taken by Wade across the court, and seeing that he had not been in a hurry to attack, the Warriors had no choice but to foul.
Wade hit one free throw to bring the margin to 16 points.
When it was the Warriors' turn to counterattack, Stephen Curry was alive without Li Wan's defense, and in less than 7 seconds, he grabbed a three-pointer and narrowed the gap to 13 points.
But under Wade's consumption, there were about 30 seconds left, and now there are only the last 22 seconds left, Tyronn Lue put Wade, Paul Pierce, these "old fritters" on the court, to ensure the success rate of receiving the ball, and the Warriors can only continue to foul.
It was Paul Pierce who made the penalty this time.
"Truth"'s free throws at critical moments are still stable.
2 free throws and 2 hits, and the difference was 15 points again.
The Warriors bet on three points again, but this time Stephen Curry's shot missed.
The ball was possessed by Adams, and the Warriors stopped fouling.
Wade slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, and Barnes picked up the ball and then made a quick layup. "The Flash" doesn't chase either, just watches. The "North Carolina Eagles" made a mistake in the middle of the rush, and the blue in the sky didn't go in, and Chris Bosh protected the rebound and quickly threw it to Wade.
Wade looked at Barnes as he stomped the ball under his feet.
You're going to grab it again!
This wave of commotion directly embarrassed Barnes.
At this moment, the Cleveland Arena was already boiling with cheers one after another, and then they reached unity, gradually becoming bigger and bigger, as if to penetrate the distance of thousands of miles and send their excitement to San Francisco......
We......
It's finally a champion!
Li Wan walked towards the scene at the first time of the game, and when he walked out of the passage of the away team's stadium, the cameras of the reporters on the scene were all focused on him at the same time.
He gestures to the camera in celebration before shouting, "Cleveland, this is for you!" β
This shout, the quick loan stadium that was already cheering and shaking the sky, was completely boiling at this time.
No, it's not just the cheers of the Quickloan Arena.
Rather, the cheers of the fans can be heard everywhere in Cleveland.
It's as if this city, which has been sleeping for more than 50 years, suddenly "woke up" and let out a long howl!
Champion!
Champion!
After more than 50 years of "no crown curse", they finally ushered in their first championship!
Let's remember his name:
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
The streets of Cleveland were crowded with fans as fast as they could, excitedly chanting the same name.
At the scene, when everyone in the Cavaliers entered Li Wan, they almost all reacted the same:
Howling and rushing towards Li Wan.
Li Wan did not dodge and let them "swallow him".
Before he could come to his senses, he was picked up by everyone in the Cavaliers and began to throw him into the air.
Li Wan enjoyed the embrace of his teammates.
It wasn't until the championship trophy was about to play that he ran to say hello to Stephen Curry, who was still waiting there.
The latter had discouragement in his eyes, and he lost badly against Li Wan. There is a feeling that there has been no progress at all over the years.
But now he has a more important question to ask: "Why fight Steve?" β
Li Wandao: "You should know your coach better than me, he has to be responsible for this matter!" β
Curry looked slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted to what Li Wan was talking about. Then he showed a little worry: "Wouldn't it be too impulsive?" β
The nature of playing a coach is not the same as playing a player.
The last man to play coaching was "Mad Man," who ended up being banned from the league for 68 games......
Although he beat his own coach, Li Wan beat someone else's coach.
But the bad influence of this matter is here, and Li Wan is afraid that he will not be able to escape the severe punishment of the alliance.
Li Wan could feel Curry's concern as a friend, and he patted Curry on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.
This is the best explanation he has for the injuries of Kwame Brown and Pekovic......
As early as when Kwame Brown was injured, he thought about what to do to explain the best way to this matter:
Win the game?
Well......
And that's just the basics!
So what about other than winning the game?
may beat up all the people who are in the black hands on the other side, and vent his anger for his brother.
Green has been beaten to the hospital by Pekovic, but he is not the only one who has done it. He's the executor, and there's a guy who hints at him doing it, or condones it, standing on the sidelines!
That's why Li Wan said that this matter is not over.
Especially when he felt that Steve Kerr still had similar thoughts in this game, he was even more determined to beat up all the people in this gang.
He didn't know if he could stop this phenomenon at once, but at least he could vent his depression......
As for what punishment the alliance will give in the end, Li Wan doesn't care.
If you have the ability, give him a season ban package!
Just take a break......
Steve Kerr had been paying attention to Li Wan's movements, and when Li Wan and Stephen Curry finished greeting him, he immediately walked over to Curry and asked why he was beaten.
Curry gave him a complicated look, and finally only reminded him of two words: "Stepping ......"
Cole was stunned on the spot......
At this time, the scene was almost ready, and the Cavaliers were all gathered in the center of the court, waiting for David Stern and O'Brien to enter the Cup.
This time, all eyes were on anticipation.
Including Kwame Brown, who is already wearing 6 championship rings, is also looking forward to it at the moment.
didn't win the championship last season, although he said "I can finally take a break", but Kwame Brown still misses this golden trophy in his heart.
This thing, if you have it, you have it, and if you don't have it, you don't have it.
Nothing can be crafted......
After two years, he can finally touch this trophy again.
The seventh seat~
He suddenly wanted to call Michael Jordan: Man, when you chose me, and then when you scolded me, did you ever think that I would end up winning 7 championships?
γ
"I would like to announce that the 2015~2016 NBA championship is...... Cleveland...... Cavaliers! β
With David Stern's announcement, the O'Brien Cup was lifted by Leevan.
Cleveland also boiled to its apex at this moment.
One shout after another echoed through the night sky.
From today onwards, this is no longer the "uncrowned capital"!
The trophies then passed through the hands of the individual players.
When Wade received the trophy, he tried to put on a calm face, and he couldn't control it anymore.
From '06 to '16, ten years, he finally embraced the O'Brien Cup again!
And most importantly......
He proved himself!
Even with such a broken body now, as long as he is on the right team, he can still win the championship, and he can win the championship as the main player of the team!
The destruction of Shu is not my sin!
Then Joe Johnson also kissed the championship trophy.
That's why he pushed down other bigger contracts and joined the Cavaliers with a base salary.
The sacrifice of the summer finally paid off for him...... His career is complete!
"It's my turn, it's my turn!"
Joe Johnson hugged it for a while, Chris Bosh held it around and yelled twice, and then Wiggins and Adams, the two newcomers, couldn't hold back any longer, rushed to the front of the championship trophy and held it in their arms.
Is this the championship trophy?
Really......
Bright!
The media reporters at the scene began to vote for the final finals MVP.
In fact, there is no accident in this award, it must belong to Li Wan.
You must know that Li Wan, who returned to the finals stage after a year, handed over an exaggerated data:
In the first game of the series, he had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists;
29 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in the second game;
In the third game, he had 84 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists;
In the fourth game, he had 71 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists;
Game 5: 33 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists;
Averaged 49 points, 9.6 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game......
Yes!
Li Wan's scoring average is a jaw-dropping 49 points per game......
With this kind of perverted scoring ability, who else can compete with him for the Finals MVP?
Even a voting media reporter bluntly said after the game that even if the Cavaliers lose this round of the series, the first choice for MVP in the finals here must be Li Wan!
It's really incredible......
In the end, Li Wan also passed unanimously and was elected as the final MVP of the finals!
The sixth Finals MVP of his career has officially arrived......
When Li Wan took the trophy from David Stern's hand, it was obvious that although his smile was bright at the moment, there was a bit of reluctance in it.
Obviously, Li Wan's actions towards the end of the match made it difficult for him to do it now.
Of course, Li Wan had expected this and was already ready. So at this moment, he sensed David Stern's headache, but he didn't feel the slightest hesitation, responded with a calm smile, and took the Finals MVP trophy in the hands of the league president.
As he lifted the MVP trophy for the Finals, Cleveland was shouting again.
"Everybody knows it's a big year for us, it's a big year for us, and I said we're going to leave a championship for Cleveland, thanks to my team, thanks to my teammates, we worked together to get it done at this last chance...... Finally, I want to repeat what I said when I first came back on the field, not just for myself, but for all of us as a team......"
"See this championship trophy?"
"Cleveland ......"
βthis is for youοΌβ
Lewan didn't know what kind of response his shout had elicited in Cleveland.
But he knew it must be crazy......
After the game, Li Wan attended the press conference.
A large number of reporters surrounded him.
Their question......
It's all about Li Wan's violent beating of Steve Cole.
They couldn't figure out why Li Wan wanted to beat Cole.
Could it be that Green's stepping on this matter was instigated by Cole, and Li Wan found evidence?
Impossible?
Who would betray their manager?
Especially since Green was personally pulled up by Cole, there is no reason to do so!
While they were thinking wildly, Li Wan had already begun to answer their doubts: "In our country, there is such a saying, which is called the fault of the father if you don't raise it; If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy ......"
Since Li Wan is a literal translation into English, he did not explain what this sentence meant, but continued: "In the team, the duties of the head coach are actually the same as the teacher, and Green has repeatedly stepped up, even if he did not do it intentionally, it means that no one has deliberately reminded him to pay attention to this aspect......
"Do you think it's Cole's fault?"
"That's what I'm trying to say, like the original Bowen, his repeated stepping, in my opinion, is that Popovich didn't restrain his players......"
It is said that when Popovich heard Li Wan's words the next day, he immediately felt the chrysanthemum shrink.
You know, Cole was at fault, and Li Wan directly beat this kid violently.
Now Li Wan still thinks he is wrong......
He can't afford to take such a beating!
When the reporters heard this, their expressions were obviously a little stunned.
They didn't expect Li Wan's angle to be so tricky.
But here's the magic:
They were convinced!
They felt that Li Wan was ......
Reasonable!
However, it is also for this reason that they have a premonition that something is not good.
It is foreseeable that the lives of a group of sub-managers will be threatened as a result......
After all, the division is famous, and once there is a team to step up, the players of other teams will also use Li Wan as a reason to beat the opponent's head coach......
Unless, the alliance will punish Li Wan harshly and make an example of the monkey.
But in terms of Li Wan's influence in this alliance, the alliance ......
Can this be done?
Their doubts......
It's not unreasonable!
Because at the moment, David Stern is really distressed.
Especially when I learned about Li Wan's rhetoric in front of the media, an idea came to my mind:
It must be punished severely!
Otherwise, the NBA would have to be in chaos......
Or a one-season ban?
He proposed this hypothetical punishment to his assistant.
The assistant reminded him: "President, you may have forgotten that we signed a new broadcast contract with ESPN, which stipulates that Li Wan must broadcast 40 live broadcasts in the United States every season......
"If it doesn't reach this amount, they can deduct up to 10% of the annual broadcast fee, almost 400 million ......"
Just for this matter, is it really worth evaporating 400 million at once?
The assistant did not ask this question directly, but looked directly at David Stern and expressed it with his eyes.
ββ¦β¦β
David Stern was silent.
That's not a small number!
Especially with the sharp rise in broadcast contracts, the expenses of each team have suddenly increased a lot.
It looks like 400 million, but is it really 400 million less in next year's financial statements?
?? When the salary cap is declining and the whole league has to pay the luxury tax, the losses of these bosses will have to be doubled.
At that time, he still has to be chopped alive by these bosses?
As the president of the alliance, you are in turn making money from our capitalists, right?
Is it worth beating Steve Cole to Steve Kerr, can he be banned for an entire season?
David Stern believes that such statements will not be heard in the light of day......
Oh yes!
Others don't know, anyway, in David Stern, Li Wan's influence is no different from Michael Jordan, who is the year old.
