Ewing didn't take this matter seriously, but in terms of Li Wan's scoring ability, he surpassed himself, which was a normal thing. As long as Li Wan fights for a long time, don't talk about him, Abdul-Jabbar is so old, he has to be superseded!

No way, it's such a ferocious momentum!

But when the New Yorkers made such a fuss, he muttered a little in his heart.

Am I still a symbol of New York?

Then he thought about it......

Suddenly reacted, oh, by the way, Li Wan is too, and more symbolic than him!

In 4 years, he brought 4 championship trophies to the city, and if he played in New York for 15 years like him, he would not have won 15 consecutive championships!

I don't need to be enlightened by others, Ewing has figured it out himself.

Especially when I saw the 09 championship ring I got as an assistant coach, it was even more impossible!

If it weren't for the fact that the Magic team also had a game that night, he would have bought a ticket to go to the scene of the Grand Navigation Arena and witnessed Li Wan overtaking himself......

22 points is really not a difficult thing for Li Wan.

Especially in the eyes of these Columbians, if they are in better shape, they can score 22 points after the first quarter.

Why is Li Wan liked by so many fans?

In addition to the fact that his performance is really explosive, which makes people can't help but like it, there is another reason:

He's too much of a fan!

Take tonight as an example, knowing that everyone is waiting to see him surpass Ewing, so he was full of desire to attack as soon as he came up, and he had already scored 18 points after the first quarter, and the second quarter was full of firepower, and it was only a few minutes before the starter returned to the court, and he scored the 23rd point of the game, and his career total of 24816 points.

It has officially moved up to 22nd place in the overall score list.

And this is the eleventh season of his career, and no one in the gang before him has a career less than 15 seasons, including Michael Jordan.

But he's only 7,476 points away from Michael Jordan right now......

This point, in terms of Li Wan's average scoring performance per game, can be completed in 3 seasons at most......

But that was also Li Wan's fourteenth season......

In this way, he scored 32,292 points one season earlier than Michael Jordan...... From this aspect, Michael Jordan's bull break can be felt even more.

The New York Knicks returned home with a 25-point defeat, but New York City was singing and dancing to celebrate Li Wan's overtaking Ewing on the total scoring list.

On the way home, Fultz looked at the New Yorkers who were celebrating excitedly, and once again felt the indelible mark left by Li Wan on the city, and he suddenly had some doubts: "Can I really carry the New York Knicks in the post-Li Wan era?" ”

What kind of performance should be played to make the city's impression of Li Wan a little faint but so lost?

Fultz felt like he wasn't supposed to be in the car, but in training management.

On January 14th, the day finally came, David Stern held a press conference to announce that he was officially stepping down as NBA commissioner, at the end of this press conference, he said: "I am fortunate to have experienced the era of black and white, witnessed Michael Jordan's god moment, and now, Li Wan's transcendence moment, I know that even if I step down from this position, I will be bound to this league forever, I like everyone's label for me, I have dedicated most of my life to the NBA, and I also hope, This league can get better and better, and now, it's time to go from president to spectator, and I think, I can have new feelings, this is the best of times, the NBA, the place where miracles happen forever! ”

Shortly after this press conference, the NBA stars also expressed their Resbby to David Stern through different social media.

When Li Wan mentioned David Stern, he was also full of respect: "He changed this league, if it weren't for him, this league may not exist a long time ago, it can be said that he is the father of the NBA, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, and he also entered the FIBA Hall of Fame, these are all great proofs of his greatness, and the greatest respect is given to David Stern!" ”

Then the reporters asked Li Wan to evaluate Mark Tatum, the new NBA president, there is a way of "a son of heaven and a courtier", David Stern era praised him as the protagonist, now in the era of Mark Tatum, are you worried that there will be some variables, although the reporters interviewed did not ask a clear question, but their words are all towards this topic.

Li Wan naturally couldn't be fooled, he said: "I'm just a player, playing the ball on the court is what I should do, I will congratulate Mark Tatum, and I hope he can do better than David Stern......"

In the end, he made a small joke: "I'm 30 years old, and I'm already an old man in this alliance, so don't trouble me!" ”

These words won the laughter of the audience.

The Columbus Explorers' regular season journey continues.

Although David Stern has retired, and the league's surname is Tatum, in the short term, nothing has changed, and it doesn't even feel like the league has changed presidents.

On January 30, the Columbus Explorers suffered their first "two-game losing streak" of the season after a wave of seven consecutive wins, and then another consecutive wave of wins until the end of the month.

Li Wan continued the "January madness", during this time, he cut 60 plus twice, 50 plus four times, and only scored less than 40 points in 1 game.

Throughout January, he averaged 43.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game......

Although Columbus lost a total of 3 games throughout January, with a record of 12 wins and 3 losses, he still won the "Player of the Month" award in the East in January.

However, in January of previous years, it was Li Wan's outstanding, but this year is not ordinary, on the Western side, James Harden of the New Orleans Hornets averaged 37.8 points, 12.4 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, which is completely worthy of him.

Especially in one of the games, he cut down the "triple double" of "60 plus"!

It was also after this game that most of the media shouted the slogan "James Harden regular season MVP...... After being counterattacked by Li Wan last year and unfortunately missing out on last season's regular season MVP, his performance this season is easier to impress these media people.

If nothing else, he can be regarded as locking up the regular season MVP award in advance.

Anyway, the "January of the Month" in the west has already been picked up by him.

Although the Hornets lost a total of four games in January, his performance, combined with the fact that "Thick Eyebrow" missed about five games with an injury, made this award even more deserving.

LeBron James tweeted: The obscured light will eventually bloom again, it just takes time......

This remark has attracted a lot of media coverage.

They think LeBron is complaining about himself.

Because the Warriors only lost 2 games in January, and he averaged 28.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game in January.

The "king" couldn't figure it out......

As for the "Rookie of the Month" in the East and West.

Ben Simmons cried and was confused for a while, Mitchell successfully snatched a "Rookie of the Month" trophy from his hand, Michael Jordan tweeted overnight, congratulating him on winning the "Rookie of the Month Award", in the history of the Bobcats, the last player to win the "Rookie of the Month" award was Okafor, it was 04 years, and Michael Jordan has nothing to do with half a dime.

Although Porzingis, who he chose before, played a value, he did not win the "Rookie of the Month", and he happened to be in the East with Towns that year......

This year's Mitchell broke that embarrassment for the Bobcats.

Some media said, "This is the most exciting Michael Jordan I've ever seen, he won the regular season MVP himself, maybe not so excited!" ”

The "Rookie of the Month" in the West still belongs to Kuzma.

Recently, he has been in the limelight, and he has made a lot of noise.

Jeanie Buss watched his game live, and showed a satisfied smile in the audience on the sidelines, this smile was captured by the cameraman on the sidelines, and suddenly he became the future "new core" of the Lakers!

The title of "handsome and able to fight" officially spread.

On Feb. 1, this year's All-Star starting lineup was released along with the East-West Player of the Month.

This year's All-Star Weekend is back at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which is destined to be a star-studded All-Star Weekend.

The All-Star starting lineup for the East and West is as follows:

On the eastern side, on the guard line are Li Wan, who is the "ticket king", and DeMar DeRozan, who was selected to the All-Star starting lineup for the first time.

This is also the tenth time that Li Wan has won the All-Star "Ticket King", which makes him surpass Michael Jordan and become the first player in the NBA to win the All-Star "Ticket King" ten times.

DeRozan benefited from Derrick Rose's injury, coupled with the Raptors' really enough bulls this season, to successfully enter the starting list.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that the eastern guard line has unknowingly come to the time of renewal.

Wade is old, and now he's a substitute, and after Pat Riley's expulsion, his reputation in this league is almost gone.

As for the new generation, Irving has not played well so far, the performance of Beal and John Wall's team is not good enough, and Jimmy Butler, the only one who can compete with DeRozan, finally lost to DeRozan in the vote.

However, it's not just the guard line that has begun to renew itself, with the top three forwards being Kevin Durant, "Antetokounmpo" and Paul George......

Two stars from the 10s began to compete for power.

It's just that Kevin Durant's fierce performance this season, averaging 32.3 points per game, coupled with his "never abandonment" of Chicago, made the Chicagoans firmly choose to canvass for him.

The number five is also a newcomer......

"The Great" Embiid aroused the enthusiasm of all Philadelphia people to vote for him with the phrase "believe in the process"!

Five positions, three 10's stars, two new faces!

If last year's "blood exchange" was just in the bud, then this year has really entered the explosive stage.

The changes on the western side are not very big, and they are firmly tied to the record......

On the guard line are the "09 Doubles" Stephen Curry and James Harden; The forward position is Anthony Davis and LeBron James, and the No. 5 position continues to be held by Oden. - Although he has not yet entered the Finals, in this era of withering centers, Oden has been the starter of the NBA All-Star for 8 consecutive years since 10, a record that has caught up with many legendary stars.

Speaking of which, this year's Cousins averaged 25.4 points, 13.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, which was ferocious, and the Kings also unknowingly climbed to the fifth place in the West, almost robbing him of his starting position.

However, after Li Wan spoke, Oden's votes instantly opened up to 200,000 votes and successfully held the starting position......

What is the "sophistication all-star starter"!

directly played the All-Star Weekend as "Peak Rap Season 2".

Cousins was angry, and it just so happened that the Kings' first game in February was against the Columbus Explorers.

Before the game, Cousins was very angry and said: "I will prove that I have the quality of an All-Star starter." ”

Before the start of the game, when I saw Li Wan, I was also unhappy.

Should I say it or not, even Li Wan has to admit that Cousins has the qualifications to be "unhappy" this season.

In terms of scoring, he averaged 25.4 points per game, the standard "supergiant scoring watershed", and stars who couldn't get an average of 25 points per game were embarrassed to call themselves "supergiants". This is indeed a qualitative change.

Cousins entered the league in 2010, his eighth season, and finally completed this qualitative leap.

He averaged 13.4 rebounds per game and currently ranks fourth in the league.

In front of him are Li Wan, who averages 13.6 rebounds per game, Jordan Jr., who averages 15.1 rebounds per game, and "Zhuang Shen", who averages 16 rebounds per game.

He is also averaging 5.4 assists per game.

Go out and inquire, in the NBA, there are a few interior players who can average 5.4 assists per game.

The Clippers' Griffin counts as one, the Bucks' "alphabet brother" counts as one, and the other interior players, even if they are good at passing, like Sabonis Jr., who exists as an interior strategy point in Columbus, only averages 4.6 assists per game, an average of nearly 1 per game.

Not to mention that he also averages 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

It can be said that both offensive and defensive ends have played to new heights!

Oden's 21.4 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game are not a clear advantage in front of him, but look like they are at a disadvantage......

What a pity!

This night when Cousins wanted to make a big fuss, he ended up with a miserable 15 points and 8 rebounds, shooting 40% from the field, which was 7% lower than his usual point!

He shot 0-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, far from his 34.1 percent mark this season.

Cause......

It's in his temper tonight.

When he first entered the league, some experts bluntly said that Cousins has a promising future, and he has all the conditions for success, but there is one thing he must do well, and that is to control his temper!

Cousins is too prone to "child" tempers on the court.

That's why he was the league's "technical foul king" for two seasons before.

This guy frowned when he didn't play well on the field; The referee complained about him too much; Once he is in a bad state, eh~ his mood is even worse.

This is a fight where he wants to prove himself.

He's going to prove himself in front of Leewan, and the starting center position in the West this All-Star Weekend should be his.

This impatience was seen by Tyronn Lue, and when he was laying out his tactics tonight, it was called a target, specifically studying Cousins' recent catch-and-shoot hotspots, as well as shooting hotspots, and studying his preferences.

This is embodied on the pitch:

When he actively asks for the ball, he frantically packs the ball, when he wants to play alone, he doesn't give him space to play alone, and when he wants to pull away from the outside to shoot one, he also forces him to hit the basket......

Cousins' face was full of displeasure before the game, and it became more and more wrinkled as the game progressed.

At 3:15 in the third quarter, he also ate a technical foul.

The mentality exploded like this, do you think he can still play well?

Evans had a good game, finishing with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Although he failed to become the top No. 1 in the league, he still played at a first-line level, and his explosive performance on the court made him sell his jerseys in Sacramento all the time.

But the Kings are winning now, obviously when Cousins is playing better, and he also occupies a more important position in the team's tactics, and it is not surprising that he has become a "barometer" of the team's victory and defeat.

Tyronn Lue, as the head coach of this year's Eastern Conference All-Star team, took Cousins' data table for this game after the game and said with a smile: "Obviously, he is not ready to be an All-Star starter!" ”

Cousins was happy to receive another ticket, because after the game, he was depressed and did not attend the post-game press conference. However, with his annual salary of 18.06 million, a fine of 50,000 yuan is not a big deal.

Li Wan was surrounded again after the game.

It's not a big deal that he's surrounded by reporters, but tonight he did complete a historic overtaking, since surpassing Ewing on January 15, but in eight games, Lee Wan surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers' celebrity, the league's "logo man" Jerry West, and climbed to 21st place on the league's all-time scoring list.

But this month, Li Wan's road to transcendence has just begun.

On Feb. 5, Lee overtook his teammate Vince Carter to move up to 20th place on the all-time scoring list.

After the game, Vince Carter recorded a video and passed the note with 20 written on it from his hand to Li Wan's hand, which he posted on his Twitter and became a hot topic on Twitter that night.

On February 8, Li Wan once again surpassed his teammates......

This time, it was the super scorer "Melon" Carmelo Anthony who was surpassed.

The moment Li Wan surpassed himself, Anthony, who was on the court, gave Li Wan a thumbs up.

He is known for his scoring ability, and the points he only got in 15 seasons were surpassed by Li Wan in 11 seasons, and when he thought of Li Wan in his rookie season, he still made his debut as a substitute, which made him feel even more bullish!

On February 12, in the Columbus Explorers' final game before the All-Star Weekend, Li Wan once again surpassed and came to 18th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

He was surpassed by the Pacers legend Reggie Miller!

After completing the leap over the former "all-time three-point king", Li Wan's career total score came to 25,300 points!

But then, Li Wan's road to transcendence had to be stopped slightly.

He is now 313 points away from Alex Inglish, who is 17th on the NBA's total scoring list, and according to Leewan's current points per game average, it will take 10 games to surpass, and that is already in March!

Of course, Li Wan's climb this season is jaw-dropping enough, before the start of this season, Li Wan was ranked 24th, and now he has climbed to 18th place just over the halfway point of the season.

As far as the current media calculations are concerned, there are still about 32 games left in the schedule, and in terms of his current average points per game, he can still score at least 1,000 points, according to his current total score, plus this 1,000 points.

Then his total score will come to 26,300 points!

In the meantime, surpassing Inglish and surpassing Kevin Garnett, he is 95 points away from the 15th place Celtics legend in the all-time scoring list, Brogdon's template John Havlicek, and 98 points away from Paul Pearce, who is also a Celtics legend in 14th place......

Although Li Wan has also come to the eleventh season of his career, when the data honors begin to increase wildly and solidify his historical status, such an increase rate is indeed a bit too scary!

But it's no wonder that no matter who goes through this stage, it is already in the second half of his career, including the original LeBron James, who has only begun to improve his ranking on the major overall lists since the 15th season of his career.

And other supergiants, such as Michael Jordan, have retired in the 15th season of his career, waiting to be overtaken......

Only Li Wan, who is less than 30 years old, has already come to such a stage...... Naturally, the rate of growth is a little more ferocious than these stars who are approaching the end of their careers.

On February 14, the long-awaited '18 All-Star Weekend officially arrived.

The whole of Los Angeles entered the atmosphere of All-Star Weekend early, and the streets were full of posters and banners related to All-Star Weekend. Interestingly, because Kobe Bryant has retired, and the rookies of the entire Lakers team can't afford to carry such a big stage at present, only Kuzma was selected for this All-Star Rookie Game, and the "ball brother" who had high hopes before the start of the season suffered an injury and missed this rookie season.

There is no star flavor in the first place, but this time it is directly diluted.

As a result, many posters of Li Wan appeared on the streets of Los Angeles.

Well......

Anyway, he can be regarded as a former Lakers player!

Just think of it as the "mother's" welcome to him this time!

The first day of All-Star Weekend was the old tradition of the Celebrity Game plus the Rookie Challenge.

In the future, a certain Wu who stepped on the sewing machine and became the second squad leader appeared on this stage for the second year in a row.

Rapper Quavo, who played for the Clippers, scored 19 points and 5 rebounds and won the MVP of this year's All-Star Celebrity Game.

After the Masters, there was the Rookie Challenge, where two sophomores from the Columbus Explorers, Brogdon and Sabonis Jr., were selected for the Rookie Challenge, only this time one of them represented the international team and the other represented the American team.

The first time they appeared on the court as opponents, it was fun for both of them.

Li Wan also appeared on the sidelines to cheer for the two people.

When they were in position, they continued to provoke both sides on the sidelines, and all kinds of arch fires became a unique scenery on the sidelines.

In the end, the World League defeated the United States 155-134. Bogdan Bogdanovic shot 9-of-16 from the field, hit 7 three-pointers, and finished with 26 points and 6 assists to win the MVP of the rookie game.

It is worth mentioning that Bogdan, who is a rookie of the Kings, signed the most expensive rookie contract in history last summer: 3 years and 27 million!

However, the current fifth place in the West for the Kings also proves that the money is well spent.

As a rookie, Bogdan averaged about 40% three-point shooting per game and scored 11 points!

It is the most important outside firepower component of the Kings this season......

Also, the top scorer in this game was Celtics Jaylen Brown, the sophomore pick scored 35 points in this game!

Brogdon was second only to him in this game, and was the second leading scorer on the American rookie team's side, scoring 27 points in the game, but unfortunately, except for the two of them, the rest of the American team played poorly, and the game lost its suspense early.

Sabonis Jr. played for the international team, and the final statistics were 13 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, a cheap "quasi-triple-double".

After the Rookie Challenge, the first day of All-Star Weekend is over.

That night, there weren't many fans discussing the two games, and more fans were already talking about the "Big Three" event on the second day of the All-Star Weekend.

In particular, the Skills Challenge was the most discussed, and as for the reason......

Li Wan announced his participation in this year's Skills Challenge!

When the league announced the news, the outside world's attention to the Skills Challenge was also full!

This year's Skills Challenge has a new twist, no longer the East and West PK, but a battle between outside players and inside players.

After all, the Skills Challenge has been taken away by inside players for two consecutive years, and before the start of this year's Skills Challenge, Li Wan jokingly said to the media: "I'm here to protect the last glory of outside players!" ”

Of course, even if it is a joking expression, it means that once Li Wan loses, he will inevitably be slapped in the face!

This year's Skills Challenge has a total of 8 players:

Louis Williams, Jamal Murray, Levan and Spencer Dinwiddie represented the guard, while Lauri Markkanen, Al Horford, Joel Embiid and Kristaps Porzingis represented the interior.

The situation of the game is group confrontation, four inner lines and four outside lines to fight each other, and the champion and runner-up are determined by eliminating and promoting! - This rule is different from the original, although the original grouping is also a contest between the inside group and the outside team, but it is a duel between the big man and the big man, and the game between the outside line and the outside line, by the strongest of the four inside lines, and the strongest of the four outside lines are facing off. Compared with the original, this time it is obviously more interesting and more in line with the theme!

After the draw and grouping, Li Wan's opponent in the first round was Porzingis, the strongest of the four.

Compared to a few other guys, this guy is a pure small forward play.

However, "passing, controlling, and cutting" are Li Wan's forte, he took the lead and ran a good time of 28.5 seconds, which put a lot of pressure on Porzingis, and he made two mistakes in the passing link before passing the ball in, and the three-point shot used up all the balls, and the final result exceeded 40 seconds.

Li Wan easily entered the semifinals, and against Embiid, he also won again with a solid 28.1 seconds.

On the other hand, Dinwiddie also managed to reach the Finals, and this year's Skill Challenge champion has a solid basketball foundation, which is also the biggest reliance on slowly gaining a foothold in the league as a second-round pick in 14 years.

However, Li Wan once again ran a good time of 28.6 seconds, defeating Dinwiddie by about 2 seconds and lifting the final skills challenge championship trophy.

He completed three consecutive sets of PK with a time of about 28 seconds, which also showed everyone the excellent and steady basic skills of this "GOAT"!
