Chapter 358: Crying "Letters", Wiggins' Harvest Year
The Bucks walked peacefully.
After trailing by more than a dozen points in the first quarter, the Bucks' outside projection group, led by Jabari Parker, a 14-year rookie, showed high morale, which made the Bucks stalemate for a while, but more than 5 minutes before the end of the first half, the Bucks thought they could go into halftime with a difference of about 13 points, and they relaxed their vigilance a little.
The Explorers took the opportunity to launch a 10-0 scoring wave, expanding the margin to more than 20 points at once.
This sudden wave of force undoubtedly stunned the young people of the Bucks, and it can be seen from their expressions that everything has happened, but they still have a look of "Huh? What just happened? Aren't we a dozen points behind? How did it become more than 20 points? β
Kenny Smith said: "The gap between the Bucks and the Explorers is really not just a difference in strength......
In terms of experience, there is at least one "former Heat team" between the Bucks and the Explorers!
Why is it the "former Heat", you ask?
After all, it was the team that had played against Li Wan the most times in the playoffs.
You don't care what the final record is, even if you don't win a game, it adds up, it's the team that has played the most games!
You can also get experience from being beaten......
In this way, the 20-point margin lasted until the end of the game, and the Explorers beat the Bucks by 27 points on their home court to claim their first playoff victory in the city, 129-102.
Winning that is called a hearty.
If the incident takes place in New York.
Maybe it's a night of "full freedom".
The Columbians were more reserved, plus the city banned guns, so ......
The group of fans chose to spend the night in the streets.
Sleepless all night!
In the first game of the series, Li Wan scored 38 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, a typical "Columbus Li Wan-style" data.
But it is worth mentioning that it only took Li Wan 3 and a half quarters to win this data.
His efficiency continues unabated even after making the playoffs!
Barkley shouted more than once in the live broadcast room: "This is Li Wan, this is Li Wan!" β
Aside from him, the top scorer on the Explorers' side is Wiggins.
He scored a total of 27 points, which is above the "Wiggins constant." ββAlthough with Li Wan's efforts, this Wiggins is more combative than the original Wiggins, but his playing style is here, and the law of "Wiggins constant" still exists, but it is a little higher than the original, and the original Wiggins constant is 18~20 points. The current "Wiggins" constant is about 19~23 points.
But in this game, in the face of the menacing appearance of Jabari Parker, he also responded with a more present scoring ability than usual. In addition to those 27 points, he also grabbed seven rebounds and five assists, as well as two steals and two blocks.
It can be said that it contributes on both offensive and defensive ends......
His stats are very good, and Jabari Parker, who is playing against him on the court, is also very good, with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal...... 48% shooting from the field and 35% from three-point range!
During this period, he singled Wiggins and scored several goals, which was once the key to the entire Bucks being able to maintain a gap of more than a dozen points.
It is also after this game that Jabari Parker's wind rating has increased significantly, and he has also washed away the doubts that existed before due to injury.
The 14-year-old "Zhuangyuanlang" is not a "parallel import", and his "Bangyanlang" is also not a "parallel import"!
He proved himself in such a fiasco, but someone had to pay for this fiasco, and it was none other than "Brother Alphabet" who received the "Most Improved Player Award" on the morning of the game.
Like the four games he played against the Explorers during the regular season, "Brother Alphabet" once again lost himself in the Explorers' "Iron Bucket Formation".
The game played 38 minutes, shooting exactly 33.3% from the field, and got 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 turnovers.
The winner of the "Most Improved Player Award" has made a lonely improvement in terms of his performance in this game.
Drexler bluntly stated: "In my opinion, Jabari seems more suitable for this award!" β
Jabari Parker averaged 14.4 points per game last season, and this season has soared to more than 20 points, which is actually quite large, and he is also on the list of "Most Improved Player Awards", but still lost to his teammate "Brother Alphabet".
It's just that according to the results of this game, the progress of "Brother Alphabet" has a tendency of "longer longboard and shorter shorter", and in this game, his lack of projection ability is vividly displayed.
The results of the other three matches played on the same day as this match were also followed.
The Raptors and Celtics played a game in the face of many pundits before the playoffs.
Before the start of the game, they thought that the gap between the upper and lower teams in the East and West this year was too large, so it was likely that there would be a lot of "4-0" and there would not be too much anxiety.
As a result, the Raptors, who are sixth in the East, gave them a ruthless "big fight" in the first game on the road.
They narrowly outscored the Celtics by 113-107, 6 points to claim their first win of the series;
Judging from the overall results, the main reason is that Thomas Jr., the "strongest 175 on the surface", has a greater confrontation on the stage of the playoffs, which makes it more difficult for him to score than in the regular season.
Even if Stevens has created offensive tactics specifically for him, it will still be difficult to completely cover up his shortcomings in height.
Thomas Jr., who averaged 29.5 points per game in the regular season, ended up contributing only 23 points in the first game of the playoffs, and shot less than 40% from the field!
However, after the game, the Boston media broke the news that Thomas Jr.'s poor performance was not because the opponent's defense made him uncomfortable, which may be partly due to this, but the more important reason was that his relatives died suddenly, which affected Thomas Jr.'s state.
Then the entire Celtics also spoke, stating that they would support Thomas Jr. and would not question his performance on the court...... Seriously, this may be a rare "warm moment" for the ruthless dynasty of the "Green Army".
Of course, no one noticed such a "warm moment", and Angie did not speak out about it.
Well......
He is already analysing the performance of Thomas Jr. in this game, and how much it is worth at most!
He has to give a contract extension this summer, and he can't let his boss suffer......
On the Western side, the Spurs and Grizzlies ended up 109-100, with the Spurs winning by nine points.
The problem for the Grizzlies is that no one can limit Leonard, who handed over a 33-point scoring statsheet in the playoffs in the first year of Tim Duncan's absence.
At the same time, in this game, the "card frame version of Jordan" was officially launched, and the problem that the Grizzlies couldn't save was infinitely magnified in his mid-range projection after mid-range projection.
Another set of matchups is the "focus battle" New Orleans Hornets vs Thunder in the first round.
This game is somewhat similar to the original contemporaneous Rockets playing the Thunder.
Well, originally this Hornets was a "strengthened version" of the Rockets.
The whole process, let's put it this way, "a swarm of bees encircled and suppressed Xiao Li Wan"!
As a result, Westbrook showed the huge gap between him and Li Wan in this game:
In the first three quarters of his play, the Thunder team bit the score, and the commentator kept shouting "I seem to see Li Wan, I seem to see Li Wan", but after the first three quarters of the game, Westbrook continued to hit the interior line and caused his physical fitness to begin to have problems, and in the last quarter of 7 shots and 0 shots, the Hornets easily opened up the difference in the fourth quarter, and defeated the Thunder with a score difference of 119 to 104, 15 points......
Westbrook scored another "big triple-double" of 38 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists, but in terms of game dominance, it is really not the same as Li Wan.
On April 16, the other 4 sets of matchups also came as scheduled.
Kevin Durant geared up before the game with a "I'm going to blow up this Hawks from the start" posture......
And when the game starts, he does the same.
Constantly asking for the ball on the wings, "standing stick singles", and the infinite fighting spirit made him look like he was covered with a layer of flames.
The Hawks are flanked by Sephorosa, Korver's former teammate with Kevin Durant, and both of these two are toys in front of Kevin Durant's projection.
The former's footsteps can't keep up, and the latter's reach can't keep up.
In the first quarter alone, Kevin Durant scored 15 points.
Under his ferocious attack, the Eagles could not hold on at all and gradually fell.
But Kevin Durant continued to storm and didn't look like he's stopped.
seems to be constantly outputting towards his cheating girlfriend, and he is still asking while firing wildly:
"I'm good?"
"I'm good?"
"I'm good?"
β¦β¦
By the end of the first half, Kevin Durant had scored 28 points, and by the end of the third quarter, he had scored 42 points...... The Hawks were also bombarded into scum, and by the end of the third quarter, the margin had reached more than 20 points.
Because Derrick Rose also played well, constantly humiliating the "future black" Schroder with his explosiveness, he scored 25 points at the end of the third quarter.
The "double star" forced, and before Jimmy Butler could start to get tough, the game was over.
117 to 94, 23 points of victory!
The Bulls got off to a good start on their home court......
When the final whistle blew for the game, Kevin Durant finally had a feeling of refreshment when he looked at the expressionless faces of the Hawks as they left the court one by one.
How happy were you?
The Nets and Wizards won the game with the Nets 110-99, 11 points.
Although the "Big Three" of the Nets is already a "dilapidated giant wheel", they can still handle the two young "double guns" in Washington at will.
This big win can make the whole of New York buzz.
All kinds of "zero-dollar purchases" and the sound of shootings resounded throughout New York.
There are 3 games left to cheer for Li Wan at home......
The happier they are, the harder it is for the Nets.
This feeling of knowing that it is the "master's task" and marrying someone back is really uncomfortable!
Can......
They can't afford to lose to the Wizards, right?
Then the media doesn't know how to ridicule their brothers!
They are all people who want to save face, and they can't afford to lose that person!
On the Western side, the Warriors won by 30 points 128-99.
LeBron James cut a "triple-double" and got 25 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Speaking after the game, he praised his team-mates: "We're going to keep winning like this, I'm happy with my team, I believe in my team-mates, we're the right combination, no one can beat us!" β
Here's what he's been doing since the "Christmas War":
Compliment your teammates from all angles!
Green also responded positively to his words, calling him an "incredible player": "The longer you play with him, the more you can feel that incredible energy in him, he is the best player in the league!" β
In addition, the Trail Blazers also defeated the Clippers by 104-93, 11 points.
After Carmelo Anthony left, the team's outside line was completely insufficient, and the combination of Griffin and Jordan Jr. as the Clippers' dependence, in front of Aldridge and Oden, there was no obvious advantage, although the game did not open up too much of a score, but as far as the whole scene is concerned, the Trail Blazers pressed the Clippers from beginning to end, maintaining a score difference of 8~10 points......
Bill Wharton said: "The difference in strength between these two teams is bigger than the score shows!" β
Judging by the results, the four-group matchups on the second day of the playoffs are more in line with the predictions of the media and experts before the start of the playoffs than the four-group matchups on the first day of the playoffs.
The difference in strength on both sides is a bit big, and the downstream teams have no to play at all......
On April 16, Columbus, Grand Navigation Arena, the second day of the Explorers vs. Bucks series, arrived.
After a day of recuperation, the whole expression of "Brother Alphabet" still does not seem to have recovered from the last game and the comments after the game, and the whole person's expression looks very gloomy and depressed.
It was clear that he had a temper that he wanted to vent on the pitch, but it was clear that he was questioning his ability to vent that temper.
The Columbus Explorers are too ......
Restrain him!
Without the ability to project, he could only choose to break through, and Columbus's "Iron Bucket Array" was like a big net that spread out, completely enveloping his whole person, and he didn't have a temper at all.
There is a saying that "cowardice before fighting", and "Brother Alphabet's fear of Columbus's "iron bucket formation" made him fall into the struggle to keep up with the previous game from the very beginning of this game.
And the whole process of this game, no, it shouldn't be said that it is the process of this game, but plus the two games after returning to Milwaukee...... the performance of "Brother Alphabet" in these three games, it is almost "the scene reappears and reappears", there is no change at all, it is all about letting the "Iron Bucket Formation" clean up well from the beginning, without a little temper.
In the final four games, his highest score in a single game was 16 points, and the lowest score was in the single digits, and he averaged 13 points per game in four games, in addition to averaging 7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.
If these statistics are barely enough, then he is averaging about 34% shooting per game and 5.5 turnovers, which is really not enough......
I didn't see it at all.
He had already made public opinion a little nervous after the first game, but after these 4 games, he completely lost his temper, directly covered his eyes with his arms, and cried.
His teammates tried to comfort him and almost got an "iron elbow......
It turns out that this "monster" is also devastating when it cries.
Chris Bosh couldn't stand it anymore, and seized the opportunity to hug him, and after making sure he couldn't hurt himself, he said, "Man, you're still young, the future is yours!" β
"Brother Alphabet" listened to the comfort from his opponent and looked up sharply, almost scaring Chris Bosh into "oops".
The snot bubbles on my face are too ......
But if you think about it carefully, it's no wonder that he has an unbalanced mentality, this is not the first year he has been beaten like this, and last year the Bucks also let Li Wan and the Cavaliers get a fat beating.
If you want to say that you were beaten last year, it doesn't matter if you were beaten up last year, the first time you entered the playoffs, you don't have much experience, but this year it's the second time, and "Brother Alphabet" also won the "Most Improved Player Award", but the result is still beaten so that you don't have a temper at all......
Can this child not be heartbroken?
Kenny Smith was summing up the Bucks-Explorers series, saying, "Before the regular season, we all thought the Bucks had two big wins this season, but now, after this series, I feel like Jabari is a more trustworthy player than Antetokounmpo, and if he is the core, maybe we can build a Milwaukee version of the '90s Bulls......"
This was a surprising statement, but Barkley and Shaq O'Neal next to him also agreed with his words after thinking about it carefully.
Because Jabari Parker's performance in the first playoff game of his career is really commendable, averaging 21.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in four games.
Although there were some struggles in the later stages of the series due to the change in Columbus's defensive intensity, his form was significantly more consistent than that of "Brother Alphabet".
And this was his first "show" in the playoffs!
His flank singles are indeed very reminiscent of Carmelo Anthony in his youth.
Coupled with the all-round skills of "Brother Alphabet", it should be no problem to become a "strengthened" Pippen......
Of course, theory is theory, and even if this combination is really changed according to Kenny Smith, even if Jabari Parker can see Carmelo Anthony's shadow in him, it can ......
Between Anthony and Michael Jordan, there is still a Kobe!
How far the duo can go, there really is no one who can give him a ticket.
However, if "Brother Alphabet" continues to perform like this in the playoffs, it will be better than now, and it will definitely be no problem!
And just like that, the Columbus Explorers easily eliminated the Bucks 4-0.
Li Wan averaged 38.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in the four games of this series;
Chris Bosh became the "three-master" in this round of the series, and in order to let Wiggins better prove that his 14-year "champion" status is well deserved, he took the initiative to give up a lot of shots in this round of the game against the Bucks, focusing more on helping defense and passing.
From this, it can be seen that the person who had a good life back then went to the Heat team without saying a word, and happened to meet two "good old people" who were willing to sacrifice. Let him successfully complete the "dove occupies the magpie's nest" step by step.
At the end of the series, Chris Bosh averaged 18.5 points, 10 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game;
Wiggins averaged 26.5 points, 8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block per game in this series...... Under the intensification of Jabari Parker, the "Eye-catcher" of the same time, Wiggins played his most ferocious series since entering the league.
Otherwise, the media has been saying that what kind of performance Wiggins can play depends entirely on the pressure from the outside and his personal aggressiveness!
Of course, if someone pushes him in the air, secretly gives him an elbow, and beats him into a cartilage fracture, then there is really no pressure or any aggressiveness.
The Columbus Explorers defeated the Bucks 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
They advanced to the second round on the same day as the New Orleans Hornets in the West, and the entire four-game "brother matchup" between James Harden and Westbrook was the same as the replay.
The first three quarters were in full swing, and in the final quarter, the Thunder were gradually pulled apart because of Westbrook's lack of fitness.
In the end, Westbrook, who averaged 37.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 12.5 assists per game in the entire series, tried his best and failed to help the team win even one game. Eliminated by James Harden 0-4.
James Harden's performance in these four games was not as strong as Westbrook's, but he also averaged 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 13.5 assists per game......
New Orleans media immediately said after the Hornets officially eliminated the Thunder: "The competition between James Harden and Russell Westbrook has a final result, not only in this series, but also in their regular season MVP battle!" β
In their opinion, James Harden is already ahead of Westbrook, the only remaining opponent......
It's Li Wan!
However, the data performance of the latter in the first round, they did not move at all.
However, the voting for the regular season MVP is about to start in the next few days......
They don't have the slightest choice but to pull James Harden's Russell Westbrook, who has a good chance of beating.
In addition to the Hornets, who also advanced to the next round 4-0, the remaining two sets of matchups: the Celtics just won one game on the Raptors' road, changing the score to a 2-2 draw. Thomas Jr., encouraged by the entire team, regained 90% of his regular season form, which allowed them to lose only two of their next three games;
The Grizzlies and Spurs also tied 2-2.
After the Spurs won the first game, the Grizzlies immediately won the second game, and then the Spurs won the third game, and the Grizzlies held on to their last home court.
The trend of this series is basically "you give me a punch, and I will definitely give you a slap back".
In the third game of the series, Mike Conley scored 34 points against Leonard, who scored 28 points, and it was the most star-studded game of the series. It's a pity that in this game, the "old demon knife" chatted about juvenile madness and scored 19 points, helping Leonard withstand the scoring pressure. The Grizzlies also missed the opportunity to take a big lead in the series.
Early the next morning, a large number of media made headlines the photo of "Brother Alphabet" hiding his face and crying.
When everyone on the Hawks saw this scene, their mood immediately improved a lot because of Kevin Durant's desperate pursuit.
Although they are now also trailing the Bulls by a large score of 0-3 and have not won a single game in the series so far, they ...... Even though I was depressed, I didn't feel like I wanted to cry.
At best, I feel helpless.
Looking at the photo of "Brother Alphabet", you can really feel his pain through the screen.
It's good I didn't meet the Explorers!
And just like that, the Eagles ended their season in a less depressed mood.
Kevin Durant can score 33.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4 assists in 4 games in this series, shooting 55% from the field!
It's just that there is no smile on his face.
When the game was about to end, he kept staring at the Eagles, and kept muttering in his heart:
Cry!
Cry!
Cry, you cry for Lao Tzu!
Originally, Kevin Durant thought that he must have put enough pressure on the Hawks, but after the photo of "Brother Alphabet" crying came out, he knew very well that the pressure he gave was not enough......
Oh yes!
This "alphabet brother" is too, it's okay for you to cry a hammer!
Lao Tzu fell twice in the finals, and he didn't cry, look at you again......
There's no such thing!
The Warriors also swept the Kings 4-0 to advance to the next round.
In addition to these two teams, the Trail Blazers currently lead the Clippers 3-1; The Nets also held the match point and failed to win their second home game with the Wizards, and John Wall and Beal were adamant about not going down in front of their fathers and fellow villagers.
This is a big deal for New York fans......
Can you hurry up, can't you just eliminate the Wizards without losing a game?
Although the current situation, the Wizards cannot complete the feat of winning four games in a row after falling behind 0-3, which has not been seen in the entire history of the NBA.
But they're really in a hurry!
It's been so long since I've seen Li Wan Giegie, they really ...... I miss it so much!
At this time, the league announced two awards: "Best Head Coach" and "Best General Manager".
The "Best General Manager" ultimately belongs to Jerry Krauss of the Bulls.
In fact, the competition for this award is also fierce, and Warriors general manager Bob Myers is less than 5% short of the vote.
I have to say that the Golden State Warriors get LeBron = James is also very exciting, no less than the Bulls get Kevin Durant, it can only be said that which of these two people can win this award is completely to see who has a better personal relationship with reporters.
As a result, Klaus, a veteran general manager who has been up and down in the industry for decades, has won the final victory.
The "Best Head Coach Award" belongs to Stevens, who has just coached the Celtics for a year!
The Celtics have been reborn under his tutelage and are the only head coach of so many teams this year who hasn't finished in the top three in the East and West on paper.
His share of votes was significantly higher, almost 90%!
After those two awards, the Nets also defeated the Wizards in Game 5 of the series, knocking them out 4-1 and reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second year in a row.
The night was like a nightclub in New York, and the noise continued all night until dawn.
With a second season in a row to cheer on Giegie in the playoffs, how can you make them not thrilled?
The Nets went to Columbus to prepare for the semifinals against the Explorers amid the New Yorkers' "shouts and cheers."
The league announced the "best team" of the season that afternoon:
"Best Team: Leewan, James Harden, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Anthony Davis;
Best Second Team: Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Wiggins, Leonard, Oden;
Best three: Derrick Rose, Thomas Jr., Green, Aldridge, Howard; β
The fight for this year's "Best Team" can be said to be extremely tragic.
Derrick Rose is only in the "best three" team, and Thomas Jr., who is averaging 29.8 points per game this season, is only in that position...... If you only look at the performance of the two of them, there will definitely be people who will cry out for them.
But......
Look at the name again!
Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, and Levan and James Harden......
The top three guys on the regular season MVP list this season, as well as Stephen Curry, the leading point guard with the best record this season and the regular season MVP last season, can average 26.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game......
The two of them are only in third place, which seems quite reasonable.
Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler, including Lillard, are all the more plausible.
And this year's tragic is not only the back line, but also the competition on the front line.
"Brother Alphabet", Paul George, Chris Bosh, these players who are not bad at the strength of the front line, also failed to see their names on the list......
The intensity of the competition can be seen.
In addition to the "Best Team", the "Best Defensive Team" also had results:
"All-Defensive First Team: Green, Anthony Davis, Leonard, Leevan, Rudy Gobert;
Best Defensive Second Team: Tony Allen, Howard, 'Antetokounmpo', Paul George, Wiggins; β
The "All-Defensive Team" has two new faces.
If Gobert's selection as the "block king" as the "best defensive team" is expected, then Wiggins' selection of the "best defensive team" is a bit unexpected.
Especially when Li Wan heard the news, he was even more stunned.
He really didn't expect Wiggins, who was motivated, to even be able to enter the "best defensive formation".
However, if you really want to say it, Li Wan has indeed given a lot of help, after all, the "Levi" bag is currently the most feared "double bag" tactic in the entire league.
It is estimated that a large part of the reason why Wiggins entered the "best defensive formation" came from Columbus's "double bag" tactic!
This season has also become Wiggins' "good year", not only into the "All-NBA" but also into the "All-Defensive Team...... As a result, the Columbus Explorers have become the only team to have two players in the "Double All-All" team this season!
And this is the eighth consecutive year that Li Wan has won the "double first team" since 10 years......
In the history of the NBA, only Lee Wan has ever done such a thing.
But he's one short of Michael Jordan's record of 9 "double 1 team"!
Well......
However, it allowed him to tie Kobe Bryant.
It has become one of the only two "double teams" in NBA history.
By the way, the so-called "all-rounder" has only 5 "double formations", behind Tim Duncan, who is ranked 7 times.
Obviously, the "all-round" of this "goat" is only shown on the offensive end......
On May 2, before the start of the first game of the series between the Columbus Explorers and the Nets, the remaining sets of series also had final results: the Celtics eliminated the Raptors 4-2 after losing one game and met the Bulls in the semifinals;
In the West, the Grizzlies and Spurs also finished with a score of 4-2, and Mike Conley was once again eliminated in the first round, but unlike the original huge doubts, Mike Conley can leave with his head held high this time.
He averaged 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in those six games.
Shooting 47.5% from the field, 40% from three-point range, and 88.8% from the free-throw line!
Averaged only 1.5 turnovers per game......
I really can't be too harsh on this kind of performance.
Even if he is holding a "big 100 million yuan contract".
Therefore, in the final analysis, this player still has to rely on his own performance, whether it is for a high salary or a self-proclaimed "GOAT"!
There is no corresponding performance, and they try to cover it up, but they will only be booed and complained about even more.
The Trail Blazers eliminated the Clippers before the Grizzlies were eliminated.
For the second year in a row, the Hornets and Trail Blazers met the Hornets on the semifinals stage......
In this way, the final result of the 4 semi-final groups was reached:
On the Eastern side, the Explorers vs the Nets; Bulls vs Celtics; On the Western side, the Warriors vs. the Spurs; Trail Blazers vs. Hornets;
And on May 2, the Columbus Explorers and Brooklyn Nets game started first.
The atmosphere of the Age of Discovery became more devilish with the arrival of the semi-finals, and the management specially prepared a unified cheering T-shirt for all the fans present, and the whole scene became a blank slate.
Everyone on the Nets appeared on the side of the court, like a small boat, on the surface of the stormy sea. Before the game even started, it was already shaky. If you really wait for the game to start, you are afraid that a wave will come, and you can directly shoot it flat.
That's how Drexler felt as he watched the Nets' group warm up.
It's no wonder that he thinks so, compared to last year's momentum, this year's Nets team is indeed a little less interesting in terms of form.
However, he can also understand that after being beaten so many times by Michael Jordan back then, he also calmed down, lose and lose, and losing to the "first person" is actually nothing good.
This is the "state of life"!
When Li Wan's height gradually came to a position that ordinary people could not reach, it would not be a shame to lose to him.
On the contrary, after fighting with him for so many years, they can pat their chests and say:
"I'm proud~"
"Cameron was in good shape tonight!" Chris Webber noticed that it is not that the entire Nets team is not motivated, and Carmelo Anthony has a feeling that he is waiting to release his absolute energy in the game, which makes him look forward to Carmelo Anthony's performance in this game!
Well......
Since the Nets have not won against the Explorers in the regular season, Chris Webb feels that paying attention to the performance of the Nets players is more meaningful than focusing on the wins and losses of this game!
