Chapter 362: My stupid apprentice, let the teacher teach you one last trick!

"It's too hard, it's too hard, Li Wan is really too hard!"

"Seriously, in the last few rounds, I really feel like Michael Jordan is playing!"

"Now the number of offensive and defensive rounds in basketball, as well as the conversion speed, are much faster than in the past, in this case, in the last moment, the offensive and defensive ends played such an amazing performance, Li Wanzhen deserves to be 'God'!"

……

Obviously, it was not only Thibodeau who was convinced, but also the fans on the Internet were dumbfounded.

After commenting on the game, Barkley felt that he couldn't praise it in the TNT studio, and specially tweeted a real-time feed: "What a warrior! ”

The major media also praised all kinds of praise.

While praising Li Wan, Kevin Durant was also ridiculed by the group.

In particular, the New York Times put two photos, one of which was his high-spirited appearance when he was interviewed after the game and said, "We have no opponents in the East"; There is also a photo of Li Wan who was beaten up at a critical moment last night and sat at the post-match press conference.

This "one positive and one negative" forms a stark contrast, and the program effect is full.

In fact, since last night, a large number of netizens have appeared under Kevin Durant's Twitter, leaving exactly the same message, asking Kevin Durant, is there still no opponent in the East now?

Kevin Durant, who was already depressed, felt even more panicked when he saw the private messages and these messages under Twitter.

But now his mind is full of pictures of himself being completely exploded by Li Wan at a critical moment, and he doesn't even have the heart to the most decompressing "keyboard argument", tossing and turning in bed, turning and turning, and can't sleep.

Finally, it wasn't until about 5 o'clock in the morning that I fell asleep groggily.

As a result, Li Wan didn't "let go" of him in the dream, and actually staged "Inception", all kinds of crazy violent buckles on his head, and he didn't know how many times he was deducted, and when he finally fell to the ground, Li Wan's cold voice came from his ears:

"You'll never try to beat me, Kevin!"

It was this sentence that directly woke Kevin Durant up.

Gasping for air.

I keep rejoicing in my heart:

It's a dream, it's a dream!

But he had just comforted himself like this, but his nose was sour for no reason.

What just happened was indeed a dream......

But in reality, up to now, hasn't he defeated Li Wan even once?

It's not a dream, it's better than a dream!

I really......

Is it impossible to defeat Li Wan?

In fact, after coming to the Bulls last summer, Kevin Durant has always believed that he will definitely not fall to Li Wan's hands again this time.

The phrase "we have no opponents in the east" is not a casual statement.

But that's what I really think.

Just kidding, he's a regular season MVP, plus Derrick Rose, a quasi-regular season MVP, plus Jimmy Butler, Leewan's approved spokesperson for Plan B......

Take a look at another spokesperson for Plan B that Li Wan is eyeing!

In less than two years, he became the NBA's new regular season MVP......

In other words, Jimmy Butler is completely the "future regular season MVP"!

In front of the three MVPs, even if Li Wan is a goat, then he should kneel, right?

Don't mention Chris Bosh and Wiggins, among these two people, Chris Bosh is 33 years old, and he also took a year off during the period, and now he is definitely not in his peak state, at most he is an All-Star level, and Wiggins is still improving, Kevin Durant himself is good enough, but it has taken him a lot of time to grow from "scoring champion" to "regular season MVP".

Wiggins' current stage, let's put it this way, "half-step all-stars"!

Li Wan is just these two helpers, how can he fight with the three of them?

And it can also be seen from the process of the first game that the Bulls' sudden change of tactics made Chris Bosh and Wiggins directly unable to rectify, but in such a situation, Li Wan stood up and blocked the attack of the three of them with the strength of one person......

It is true that there is the blessing of the system of "giving the ball to Li Wan's tactics", but this is also too ......

Awesome, right?

That's why Kevin Durant is so desperate.

Can such a guy really be defeated?

However, when the team gathered in the afternoon, Thibodeau was in a good mood, he looked back at last night's game, reviewed the whole process, and he was sure that with just ten more minutes, the Bulls would definitely be able to defeat the Columbus Explorers.

Because Li Wan was indeed at the "end of the crossbow" at that time, there was a possibility of collapse at any time, but there was not much time left for the Bulls......

But Mirotic came on as a "wonder soldier", and that was from the second quarter.

If the first quarter starts, the Bulls can put on a "strange formation" from the previous game......

Can you see Li Wan being dragged "to death"?

He knew very well what public opinion was like, so he specially said his thoughts before the training began.

The effect is still obvious......

You can see it from Kevin Durant's expression.

When he first arrived at the arena, the guy's face was full of frustration, and after Thibodeau told him about his discovery, his face began to glow with hope.

It's like reinvigorating confidence!

"Guys, believe in yourself, we can leave the home of the Columbus Explorers with a win!"

At the same time, the Grand Nautical Arena.

The Columbus Explorers have also gathered at the arena to prepare for the training camp.

Wiggins and Chris Bosh looked very serious.

In last night's game, judging from the data, their performance was not bad, but from the perspective of the process, they can say that they did not give Li Wan enough help since the second quarter.

At that time, when the whole team reviewed the first game together, the two of them looked at their sleepwalking performance, and their faces were hot.

This made their expressions different at the moment, and the training was full of seriousness.

Even at the end of the daily training, when everyone left the stadium one after another, they still turned a deaf ear and concentrated on their own training.

In the eyes of the two people, with the same fire:

In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, you must give Li Wan enough help!

In the name of "two (three) masters"!

As night fell, they finished their training.

And thousands of miles away in San Antonio.

Game 6 of the Spurs-Warriors series also came as scheduled.

Popovich was a man of grudges.

Although Leonard was "not" injured, his most beloved disciple was stepped up, can he not avenge this revenge?

If you don't report it, it's not a spur!

Steve Cole......

O foolish apprentice!

Let the teacher teach you another trick at the end!

The ultimate mystery of "turning off the air conditioner" was used by Popovich.

Kevin Durant, who was on his way home, listened to the radio saying that when the air conditioner at the Spurs' home court could not be activated tonight because it was in disrepair, he immediately recalled the Western Conference Finals that year, and his unforgettable memories with the Spurs.

is also "the air conditioner is broken", he played to the end of that game, and he directly felt that he was wearing a "water suit", and he himself was about to become dehydrated, as long as the whole person fell, he was afraid that he would be so tired that he could no longer get up.

In that environment, he ended up stumbling on his foot......

Thinking about it now, he shuddered unconsciously.

It's really ...... "devil"!

When he thought that the Warriors were going to play on such a "devil's home" tonight, he felt a little sorry for Stephen Curry...... Well, although in the end, Stephen Curry still lost to Lee Wan in the three-point contest, but ...... Kevin Durant is the person he believes will not be easily changed.

When Steve Kerr entered the arena, he was so angry that he yelled.

Could he not know what Popovich was thinking?

Crucially, the Spurs have five minutes left tonight...... That meant the Warriors waited five more minutes in this scorching environment.

This will certainly be fined by the Union.

But......

Popovich: 50,000 dollars, for a game to win, if you were me, would you change?

The answer doesn't need to be said at all.

Such a trick gave the Spurs an opportunity.

The opening game successfully hit a wave of 7-1 scoring.

The stuffy arena made the Warriors run two steps like gasping, and the "little fast spirits" of the past were nowhere to be seen.

Leonard, who was not "injured", continued the state before accidentally injuring Pachuria's foot in the last game, hitting the ball to the basket in various positions.

At this moment, let alone others, even Popovich felt that his "Tim successor" would be really a machine.

You know, even though I was 5 minutes late, I spent about 45 minutes less than the Warriors, but what kind of environment is this? In such a hot and uncirculated place, even if you just stay for 10 minutes, you will be uncomfortable and abnormal, this is the instinct of the human body, just look at what kind of state the "pride of the sky" is in such an environment.

At this moment, the test is people's spiritual strength......

As long as Leonard stays on the field, it is as if he will not be disturbed by any external factors.

Popovich was pleasantly surprised by such a performance.

The Spurs established a lead and continued that lead into the final stretch of the game. In Game 6 of the final series, the Spurs relied on the "turn off the air" tactic to defeat the Warriors 109-100 on their home court.

The "Splash" brothers were evaporated in the heat tonight, and the two men made a total of 15 three-pointers and hit only 3 of them......

As for LeBron James, when he played 6 minutes left in the final quarter tonight, he suffered leg cramps directly and was carried down by the team doctor, and before leaving, his statistics were 16 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists......

But if you study it carefully, you will find that it is unsightly...... He shot 41 percent from the field, shot 0 of 6 from three-point range, and had five turnovers.

In this extremely hostile playing environment, LeBron James has been greatly affected.

The three of them played so badly that even if Green and Iguodala played superbly and scored various baskets, they still lost by 9 points.

Steve Cole's face was crying until the whistle blew, and when he turned his head, his former mentor Popovich was looking at him with a smirk, waiting to shake his hand.

He looked helpless.

I have to admit that his teacher taught him another lesson.

The big score is 3-3 draw!

After the game, LeBron James's leg cramp was ridiculed to a great extent.

The reason is also very simple, you LeBron James is known as the "pride of the sky", and his physical talent is the first gear in the history of the entire league, the top, why don't everyone else have leg cramps, but you have cramps?

To tell you the truth, these words are a bit inhumane, after all, it is an injury, whether it is the fans or the media, it should be more worried about the situation of LeBron James than it is cynicism.

But......

This is the way of the world.

Just like a certain basketball book, LeBron James, a complete "little black man", will be mentioned in every chapter, so there are many cases where fans are bored with it and aesthetically fatigued, and there are many dissatisfied voices......

Since the frequency of "black" is high, it has to endure the voice of dissatisfaction.

LeBron James is the same, all kinds of marketing he is "the pride of the sky", "talent first", "reigning in the world", and even "self-proclaimed GOAT", so he will be complained about when he performs badly and has criticized behavior.

That's the case now.

You can't eat the bonus, and you don't allow others to say it, right?

That will only lead to greater discontent.

In the later stages of LeBron James' career, the number of his sunspots skyrocketed, including the increasing frequency of some "passerby fans" turning "black", which has a lot to do with his fan control.

A small team vividly interpreted the twelve words: question the "rice circle", understand the "rice circle", and become the "fan circle......

Of course, the power of the "Zhan fans" in this world is far less powerful.

can't stand the media company that LeBron James bought, and it's still giving him talent and self-discipline one after another!

This made him have leg cramps now, which made many media turn on the "spit mode......

The Spurs and Warriors are sure to play a "tie-break".

The other group of semifinals in the West ended the "tie-break battle" a day later, and in the end, the Hornets came out on top, defeating the Trail Blazers for the second year in a row and advancing to the final Western Conference Finals.

The Trail Blazers made a perfect addition to the No. 3 spot in the summer, and also waited for the No. 2 No. 2 C.J. McRum to grow further, but they still couldn't get over the Hornets mountain.

But......

Portland fans are just as happy as they were last year.

The reason is simple:

"The Hornets haven't won a single game on our home turf!"

"We just don't have an advantage!"

"Such a failure is never a failure!"

……

They insist that the Portland Trail Blazers are tied with the Hornets this year, because if there is an eighth game of the series on the Trail Blazers' home court, they believe that the final big score will definitely be 4-4!

They can't take the Hornets at the New Orleans Arena, and the Hornets can't take them at the Rose Garden.

Say, the Hornets seem to agree with that, giving the Portland Trail Blazers the biggest Resbby after the game.

Then one by two began to look forward to the Western Conference Finals.

Last year's "tie-break" lost to the Warriors, which made them very unconvinced.

This year......

Even if the Warriors have LeBron James joining, they firmly believe that they will be able to settle this account with the Warriors!

This time, it's up to us to fight "Li"!

Half an hour after the end of the Western Conference semifinals, the second game of the series between the Explorers and the Bulls officially kicked off at the Age of Exploration Arena.

Wiggins and Chris Bosh had the same expressions on the court today as they did when Young and Sue rapped at the top, full of anger. Just look at their expressions and know that they want to get back on the field.

And an angry man......

It's Tyronn Lue!

Although the last game Columbus Explorers still won in the end.

But it wasn't so easy to win......

Especially compared to Thibodeau opposite, he looks more wooden.

Whether it is the decisive replacement of Gibson in the second quarter, the use of Mirotic, or the arrangement of Li Wan in the fourth quarter, even if the second arrangement is not good, but it is because Li Wan is too strong, in the case of the physical fitness slot has lit up the red light, he can still resist the opponent's "fire attack", it is simply not human!

On the other hand, Tyronn Lue's first game in the Eastern Conference Finals was not set up in any way except for the death of Lee Wan.

With Li Wan, you can do whatever you want, everyone knows this, but you are too much to do what you want!

As a head coach, Columbus's lineup played to the end and played as "dead Li Wan", is this like a word?

You must know that the Thibodeau on the opposite side, but the head coach who is famous for his defensive tactics, he does not have a deep accomplishment on the offensive end, and it is said that Tyronn Lue, who can figure out the "give the ball to Li Wan's tactics", should not be as bright as Thibodeau on the offensive end!

In addition, at the last moment, he was too greedy for time to let Li Wan rest, which almost allowed Kevin Durant to chase the difference to 3 points......

In short, one by one, the outside media is full of complaints!

Naturally, Tyronn Lue wants to get back on the field.

After careful study, he unleashed his first big move at the beginning of this match......

Thibodeau thought before the game that this time he would definitely have an advantage from the opening by directly pulling out the Bulls' new offensive formation.

It's not that he underestimates Tyronn Lue's ability to adjust.

But he knows very well that Mirotic and Noah have a lot of options, and there are teammates who can hold the ball and play alone, no matter which point they pass to, they are the end points that can guarantee the completion of the shot.

In a situation like this, you say, is there any way to limit the Bulls' fit?

It can't be!

Even if there were, it wouldn't have been possible to come up with it so quickly!

But......

Soon Tyronn Lue let Thibodeau know what a "master tactician" is!

In response to Mirotic, the Columbus Explorers defended aggressively tonight, not giving him an easy chance to receive the ball in the high post, and after he received the ball, they adopted a trap tactic to force him to shoot quickly and not give him time to find a suitable teammate......

Mirotic is a veteran who has played in the Euroleague for many years, but he is a third-year freshman in the NBA.

The rhythm of the NBA and the European league is very different, which is why many "European hegemons" come to the NBA and cannot play well.

When Mirotic was subjected to more aggressive targeted confrontations and packs, he was unable to attack at his familiar points and could not patiently find his teammates, and his performance was no longer as bright as the first game.

The "dual-drive" Bulls had half the horsepower at once.

As for Noah's problem, everyone knows that he can respond, but he doesn't have such top-level response ability.

For example, if the league's top strategy is "Big Sabonis", then Noah is the equivalent of "Little Sabonis". Of course, compared with the little Sabonis who grew up later, Noah's strategy is still a little far away.

He's more like his old partner Al Horford, an "inside jack-of-all-trades", but if you expect him to really stand up in any area, it will be somewhat disappointing.

Tyronn Lue's preparations are much more than that......

In addition to targeting Mirotic, he also targeted Derrick Rose in the number one position.

In this game, he was very diligent in the rotation of the No. 1 position.

At 4:35 in the first quarter, he replaced Brogdon and took Beverley, and at 7:12 in the first quarter, he took Beverley and replaced George Hill.

The "three-man rotation" is a hard drain on Derrick Rose's physical energy.

Rose is worthy of being the guy who could have won the regular season MVP at the age of 21.

Even in the face of the attrition of such three people, he still scored 8 points in a single quarter, but his efficiency and his number of turnovers were significantly higher than in the first game.

As a result, the Bulls' "dual drive" in the first game was one less "drive", and the "three guns" on the outside were also missing "one gun". In the first quarter, their aggressive offense suddenly became less sharp.

According to the "Theory of Relativity on the Field", the Bulls' offensive momentum has decreased, which is equivalent to the Columbus Explorers' offensive momentum has become more aggressive.

At 6:14 in the second quarter, the Columbus Explorers built a 12-point advantage in a steady game.

It looked like they could keep pressing them into the second half.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, Tyronn Lue replaced Lee Wan early to give him a little more rest now.

He didn't continue to let Li Wan stay on the court to open up the difference, and the Bulls couldn't be killed with a stick.

You have to take your time.

And......

Tyronn Lue admits that the Bulls' "three musketeers" are indeed aggressive, but what if, he is saying, if Columbus enters the fourth quarter with the current point difference, or even smaller, and then he takes out the "Lee Wan bomb" that he has been "fighting", how will the Bulls deal with it?

High-fived Li Wan and watched Li Wan sit down on the bench and wipe his sweat with a towel, Tyronn Lu really wanted to shake a fan in his hand.

His calmness contrasted sharply with the impatience on the other side.

At this moment, Thibodeau's face could not see his calmness at the beginning of the game.

Now he just wants to shout those five words......

What to do!

He really didn't expect the "perch" on the other side to be so adaptable.

It's actually just a sample, and so many formations have been taken out, and the effect is so good!

Thibodeau has a head and two large.

Kevin Durant is still doing well.

But it's just that he's good, and it's still too difficult for the Bulls to win this game......

Derrick Rose has to play better efficiently...... It should be possible, it must be possible.

He believes in Derek Ross as much as he believes in his wife.

He knows what kind of ability Rose has, and he also believes that when Rose adapts to the defense in front of him, he will play better again, and "explosive seeds" are possible!

After another half a minute of the game, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and Beverley, who was hilarious, suddenly mocked Jimmy Butler, who was so tepid so far, Butler looked at him and ignored him, looked at his appearance, and seemed to be amused by Beverley's words, but when it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Jimmy Butler specially misplaced in front of Beverley to ask for a layup against him.

Then, he turned his head towards Beverly, and put it close to his face.

What Beverly wanted was the other party's reaction, so he didn't avoid it at all, and the two of them were "kissing" in that "mouth-to-mouth" posture, but their hands were quite restrained.

As soon as the referee saw that this "impulsive and rational conflict", he did not blow the whistle, but just separated the two people.

Unexpectedly, Jimmy Butler was out of control from this ball and continued to catch Beverley's output.

Second throw, keep going!

Beverley was still a little unconvinced, and turned Butler to deliver another "slap in the face".

For three consecutive rounds, Beverley was directly stunned, and Tyronn Lue watched the 12-point deficit narrow to 6 points.

There was silence at the scene, and Thibodeau, who pressed the treasure on Derrick Rose, was also stunned at the moment.

He must admit that he really does not know how to attack.

But......

"Well done, Jimmy, pretty, just hit like this, just hit like this!"

Thibodeau didn't care about it at all.

When Jimmy Butler also plays at the level of "King Bomb", it means that the Bulls have three "King Bomb" ...... What kind of game, they have no hope of winning?

Tyronn Lue had to rush to replace Beverley off the court.

When the "mad dog" ended, he subconsciously avoided people. That frustrated look was as if someone had kicked him hard.

Li Wan was back on the pitch after less than a minute.

Jimmy Butler played confidently and hardened the ensuing days, and even though Levan quickly continued his offensive form, he only stretched the deficit back to nine points before halftime.

Taryn Luna was angry, and when he went back, he pointed at "Bao Baoqing" and scolded: "What do you say you are provoking that rush?" ”

Is it possible to stimulate the "sharp pull"?

Lee Wan offered to defend Jimmy Butler, and Tyronn Lue agreed.

The effect is still obvious, in the first 6 minutes of the second half, under Li Wan's focused defense, Jimmy Butler, who broke out in the second half of the second quarter, died down, only scored 3 points in 6 shots, and was covered by Li Wan in person.

He wasn't as mature as he was later......

In addition, Tyronn Lue continued to change lineups in the third quarter, pushing a lot of the Bulls' possession into Kevin Durant's hands.

Kevin Durant eventually scored 15 points in the third quarter, plus 17 in the first half, and by the start of the fourth quarter, he had already scored 32 points, and if nothing else, he would score another 40 points in this game......

Results......

Something happened!

At the end of the third quarter, Tyronn Lue looked at Kevin Durant's data sheet, not only did not have any panic, but even wanted to laugh a little.

Because at the end of the third quarter, Kevin Durant had been on the court for 30 minutes and had taken more than 20 shots, and if you count the number of fouls, then he had made more than 25 shots, and on the defensive end, he and Jimmy Butler were the main players in defending Leevan......

The consumption of both offensive and defensive ends is definitely not small for a big man who is more than 2.11 meters and is used to playing outside!

So......

It's time to close the net!

Tyronn Lue showed his final killer move tonight: return the other way!

Your Excellency's style of play against Li Wan at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends at the last moment of the last game is indeed very sharp, and now, I will use this trick on Kevin Durant, I don't know if Your Excellency and Kevin Durant can stand it!

The answer was revealed at 7:15 of the fourth quarter......

Kevin Durant: I've tried my best to hold on, but I really can't take it anymore!

He broke through with the ball, but was covered by Brogdon with the ball, and at that moment, Kevin Durant, who was lying on the ground, really wanted to cover the quilt and fell asleep directly.

Lead-filled legs, and sore and swollen arms, everything reminded him that his body was overloaded!

This round is also the round in which the whole game is closed.

With Kevin Durant down, and Jimmy Butler in the doldrums after being contained by Leevan, the entire Bulls' "trident" was left with Derrick Rose alone.

He did explode, but he had already consumed so much energy in the "wheel fight" that Tyronn Lue had prepared for him that he simply couldn't "support a team by himself".

Especially when the "Li Wan bloodline" on the opposite side opened, all kinds of "moves, moves", and took the Bulls away in an instant.

122 to 111.

With an 11-point deficit, the Columbus Explorers have another home game, and they will travel to Chicago with a 2-0 score for the third game of the series.

Once again, Kevin Durant lowered his head.

At the end of the game, his score was fixed at 39 points, one point away from 40 points, which was good, but he scored 32 points in the first three quarters, but only scored 7 points in the final and most crucial fourth quarter......

It is far from Li Wan's 16 points in the fourth quarter.

Most importantly, he was treated the same way as Li Wan in the fourth quarter, and he was able to survive until the last minute......

From his personal performance, to his energy at key moments, and his mental strength, Kevin Durant was completely defeated, making his already heavy head sink even more.

In addition to him, Derrick Rose had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance was a little better than the previous game.

But the current situation is that if the Bulls want to win, Derrick Ross can't just play like this, he has to get better!

And ......

Jimmy Butler!

In the second half of the second quarter, he broke out, beating Beverley, and finally got 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, which was not much better than the previous game. However, his explosiveness surprised many people.

After the game, a reporter from the Bulls suggested in an interview with Thibodeau: "If Jimmy Butler can still play like he did in the second half of the second quarter, can he be used as a strategic point?" ”

You know, at that time, the Explorers directly used Li Wan to defend him!

If Jimmy Butler can attract Leewan's defense, won't Kevin Durant be completely liberated?

Thibodeau looked at him deeply, and there was a little more thought in his eyes, this reporter's words are indeed worth studying......

(End of chapter)
