Chapter 384: Ray Allen Comes Again to Intensify His Buddy

After the Skills Challenge, it was the Three-Point Shooting Contest, and Booker successfully lifted the three-point shooting contest championship with 28 points, and the league began to take note of the Suns' No. 2 pick in the first round in '15.

Although the Suns have the lowest record in the league this season, Devin Booker's statistics are really not bad, with 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists.

Speaking of which, the later Devin Booker can become the league's top few "scoring machines", which is inseparable from the rotten environment that the Suns have provided for him in recent years.

In this regard, Devin Booker is about the same as Kevin Durant.

They all used pieces of "fine iron" one after another to build the road to the "super scorer"!

Even this season, Devin Booker's shooting percentage is not high, only 43.5 percent...... But since this season, Devin Booker's shooting percentage has never dropped to 46% per game......

The "dunk king" belongs to Mitchell, the "pride of Michael Jordan right now".

It is worth mentioning that Mitchell was originally participating in the "Skills Challenge", but because of Aaron Gordon's sudden injury, he replaced the latter, and his spot in the Skills Challenge was replaced by Dinwiddie.

The original Mitchell focused on "nostalgia", and this time Mitchell is the same, although the last imitation of Carter's "360-degree turn and lever dunk" is most similar to the original version of the Raptors jersey on his body.

But compared to other more aggressive contestants, he finally made Vince Carter on the sidelines teary-eyed.

It's Michael Jordan, who is also on the sidelines, who is not very happy.

Don't pay tribute to your own boss, and put aside that guy who can't beat the eight poles, right?

Can his "Canadian Flyer" have my "First Generation Flyer" classic?

He saw that Mitchell had a backbone in the back of his head.

After the slam dunk contest ended, the second day of All-Star Weekend also came to an end.

Li Wan left with a smile on his face, and shook the "Skills Challenge Champion" trophy in his hand at the camera.

The media was not surprised, because after winning this trophy, Li Wan became the first player in NBA history to win all three major challenges.

The next day's media headlines were all blown up by him.

Perverted physical talent, excellent shooting ability, and such skillful and stable fundamentals......

"I kind of know why this man can dominate an era!"

"Seriously, it was at this moment that I really felt how buggy Li Wan was!"

"I thought that Michael Jordan was already God's best work, but now it seems that after more than ten years of hard work, God broke through himself and created Li Wan!"

……

And the photo of Li Wan smiling at the camera with the championship trophy of the Skills Challenge has also become a very objective poster for sales in the future.

They can understand why Li Wan is so excited, after all...... Another "historical first" was pocketed by him.

But the reason why Li Wan is really happy is because after he won the championship of this "Skill Challenge", there is only one last task left before the upgrade template:

Become the all-time three-point champion of the NBA!

He's still averaging three-pointers per game this season.

He can make about 5.2 three-pointers per game......

By the end of the regular season before the All-Star Weekend, his three-pointer tally for the season had reached 292!

With more than 30 games left this season, it is not surprising that Li Wan's three-point shooting will come to 400 this season...... In doing so, he will become the first player in NBA history to make at least 400 three-pointers in three consecutive seasons.

No one expected that Stephen Curry's crazy three-point shooting season forced an even more crazy Leewan.

And after Li Wan threw these 292 three-pointers, he was only left with the last 35 from the NBA's "all-time three-point shots", and in terms of Li Wan's average three-point shooting speed this season, at most 8 games, he could surpass Ray Allen again and win the "all-time three-point king" crown......

The most important thing is that the SSS-level template is about to be obtained by him!

This game, he is about to clear the level!

The "Zero Krypton Gold" player, after 11 years of hard work, finally brought him to the door of the "last level".

Truth be told, he doesn't care what is behind the "door" anymore.

As far as the JR Smith plus DeRozan and the template combination of Leonard and Stephen Curry that he has now have, he has long been the most buggy existence in this league, and even in the evaluation of the media, he has become the "basketball god" of Michael Jordan!

But upgrading the system to the full level will undoubtedly give Li Wansheng a huge sense of satisfaction.

At least it didn't live up to this opportunity.

The third day of All-Star Weekend arrived as scheduled.

There are plenty of rookie faces heading into All-Star Weekend this year......

Especially on the Eastern side, such as the Wizards' "backcourt double guns" Bradley Beal and John Wall, in addition to the 15-year "champion" Towns who was selected by the Pistons in this time and space, as a super newcomer who can contribute an average of 18.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game "double-double data" as soon as he debuts, Downs has already scored 25.1 points and 12.3 rebounds in the second season of his career, and although he did not go further this season, he still got 24.5 points and 11.5 rebounds......

As far as the data goes, it's really too easy for Downs.

It's just that he has an innate "soft egg" temperament.

Even if he was selected by the Pistons team with the spirit of "iron and blood" this time, it failed to change this temperament.

Three years later, the Pistons still sit in 10th place in the East.

But...... It's a little bit closer to the playoffs, and with his personal data being really gorgeous, he was eventually drafted to the All-Star bench in the East.

There are new selections, there are those who have been eliminated, and Howard, who was the starting center in the East last season, was directly selected for All-Star Weekend this season. First, the Wizards have two people selected to the All-Star bench, and their record has not reached the point where so many people can be selected; Secondly...... After Howard joined the Wizards, his tactical position declined, and his personal data also declined, averaging only 15.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and he really did not have the capital to enter the All-Star bench again.

The West's starting lineup changed before the All-Star weekend, and two or three days before James Harden's All-Star Weekend, which had been crazy for one month in January, injured his thigh muscle, and this injury will keep him out for about half a month, which makes him unable to participate in the All-Star Game.

He was replaced by Russell Westbrook.

This season's "Turtle" performance is still brave and abnormal, averaging 27.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game, which has cooled down a lot compared to last season, but there is a reason for this, the Thunder team has not made any big moves this summer, and the Thunder team in the new season is still dominated by Westbrook single-handedly, but other strong teams in the West this year are at least "doubles", and after a season, everyone is familiar with his style of play, and in terms of limiting his tactics, it is more targeted.

Westbrook's shortcomings are indeed obvious, and these are the reasons for his declining stats, as well as the Thunder's current hovering in eighth and ninth in the West......

But his popularity is as good as ever, ranking third in the Western Conference guard line, narrowly losing to Stephen Curry and James Harden.

Now that James Harden is injured, he naturally replaces him.

It was also James Harden who was injured, and there was a warm scene in this year's All-Star Game: Anthony Davis, who started the game, was not wearing his No. 23, but James Harden's No. 1.

He did this kind of thing during the original '18 All-Star Weekend. It's just that the injury at that time was the "no-brainer" Cousins who was traded from the Kings to the Daigo team.

Now, he's made the same principles as before.

It is said that the "sister-in-law" is gentle, but this "thick eyebrow brother" is not bad at all compared to the "sister-in-law" of the year.

Let's just say that after he won the championship with that person in 20 years, the media people didn't vote for him, and he still blessed LeBron very sincerely, and even later shouted the slogan "411", his choice was also two words:

Believe!

Of course, this also has a lot to do with his agent, Rich Paul......

As for the fact that he rejected the Lakers' contract extension offer for LeBron in the summer of 23, don't think about it, it was Rich Paul who brought "thick eyebrows" to make the Lakers management dare not move LeBron James at will, and they had to "laugh" to cooperate.

It can only be said that LeBron had better not retire, or else......

Of course, there are not no agents as strong as Rich Paul, such as Michael Jordan's agent, but after the retirement of "Flyer", his influence has shrunk a lot.

It's all going to be liquidated!

It's a pity that "thick eyebrows" is such a gentle person.

Well......

However, it is not surprising that there are a few "supergiants" who cooperate with the self-proclaimed "GOAT" who are not "sucked dry".

In this All-Star game, Li Wan didn't play for too long, playing 10 minutes in the first half and 12 minutes in the second half, and the offensive desire was very low, basically passing assists, and in 22 minutes, he sent 11 assists.

The all-star newcomers in the east are full of energy to perform.

But because Li Wan didn't exert his strength, the Eastern All-Stars lost to the Western All-Stars by a margin of 128-139, 11 points.

The Warriors have four players named to the final All-Star team this year: LeBron James, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and "Dream" Green.

D'Antoni gave them plenty of playing time, and with Oden on the inside, they were very pressing.

LeBron James finished with 38 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists to become the eventual All-Star MVP......

Winning the victory, he looked at Oden's eyes shining.

The Warriors found the last piece of the puzzle......

This is his second All-Star MVP since '06, and he said in an interview, "It's been a really good experience, you know, any award in Los Angeles is going to be different!" ”

On the night of his speech, the Los Angeles media reported that "LeBron may join the Lakers in the future", which was complained about......

In Los Angeles, in particular, fans reacted the most:

"What is he doing here?"

"Do the Lakers really want such a wandering bum?"

"I'm starting to miss old Bass!"

……

Rich Paul sent these comments to LeBron James overnight and said:

"Man, we've reached the moment where we can't afford to lose!"

In terms of this reputation, if the Warriors haven't won a championship yet, where they are in the trade market this summer......

LeBron James couldn't help but shudder.

In fact, these news were released by LeBron's team, in order to test the reaction of the outside world.

As a result, it was worse than they thought.

LeBron James seems to show the "pupil of death":

This season, they must succeed!

On February 17, with the end of All-Star Weekend, the free market officially closed, and this year's trading market has not been too heavy-handed in the whistle trading.

However, it is also normal that so far this season, there have been several large transactions, and the handicap of the stars is so big, and it has also reached the "cold period" of the market.

When Levan returned to Columbus, it happened to be Taylor's prenatal check-up day, so he drove Taylor to the hospital for a routine check-up.

In the second pregnancy, Taylor, who had gained experience, was obviously more comfortable than the first, although it was still very hard. - Taylor belongs to the kind of "pregnancy" that is more obvious.

But with experience, she knows what to do to make herself feel better.

"Hani, have you ever thought about donating*?" Towards the end of the day, Taylor suddenly uttered something startling.

Although Li Wan had a "big heart", he was still frightened by her words: "Huh? ”

Taylor was amused by his appearance.

Well, I was simply amused by Li Wan's appearance, and the topic didn't continue, and soon became a tangled debate about what to eat at night. Li Wan felt a little weird, but thinking about this pregnant woman, it was normal to be a little cranky.

The results of the examination were normal and the fetus was developing very well.

From September to now, 5 months have passed, and thinking that in 4 months, he will have a second child, Li Wan's mood is really a little complicated.

Different from the excitement when he had his first child, Li Wan, who had a second child, suddenly had a thought: Is it time for me to enter the next stage of my life?

When this thought appeared, Li Wan himself was a little surprised.

But think about it carefully, now that he has 7 championship trophies in this league and is working hard to pursue his 8th championship ring, as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Wan is still quite confident that he will get another championship ring this season.

After all, in the "Christmas War" against the Warriors, they won a lot, and they all played garbage time.

In addition to this team, the only team they need to pay attention to is the Hornets......

Li Wan never lied to himself, and he didn't think it was an arrogant idea, and Columbus had a big chance of winning this season.

Of course, he quickly remembered what he said on last year's "championship night", "This league should have a Columbian era"!

So at least a "triple crown", right?

For Li Wan, who values commitment, he doesn't want to be said to owe the championship when he leaves the league, which is too low.

"Hani?"

Taylor saw that Li Wan was a little distracted, and shouted. Let Li Wan come back to his senses.

"Are you thinking about donating*?"

Taylor mentioned this matter again, and Li Wan's reaction this time was not so big. Men, after the first time, they can adapt immediately and develop all kinds of tricks.

This applies to any occasion.

He rolled his eyes at Taylor, a look of disgust.

However, when he went back, Li Wan still bought a bouquet of begonia flowers for Taylor "by the way".

Over the years, many of Taylor's little preferences have changed, but for flowers, she still likes the begonia flowers that Li Wan took her to see back then.

On Feb. 18, Christopher Columbus kicked off his first regular-season game since All-Star Weekend.

They faced Towns, who was named to the All-Star team for the first time in his career.

After the era of the "Civilian Five Tigers", the Pistons entered the process of reconstruction, but from 09 to the present 18 years, 10 years, they are still struggling in the quagmire of reconstruction.

This is also the embarrassment faced by most small ball markets, especially the teams that are in a dilapidated city.

To be able to get up, it takes the right time and place, but at such an opportunity, it depends on God's face more than "touching the prize" in the draft conference. No, ten years later, Detroit is still hard to say.

The game ended quickly.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons were already 25 points behind, and this kind of team with only one head card and the top card is still growing, it is too difficult to mediate with Columbus, basically as long as it is prevented, it will be widened.

After a few waves of attack, the Columbus Explorers easily opened up the difference......

Li Wan only played 25 minutes and 14 seconds in this game, but still scored 33 points, and the number of rebounds and assists was a little worse. In this game, Li Wan only grabbed 8 rebounds and only 5 assists......

However, assists and rebounds, Li Wan has long been out of the question.

The decline in assists per game has a lot to do with his current team positioning, for Li Wan, who hopes that his teammates can also play a sense of existence, if the team needs him to give up part of the ball possession, he will not hesitate to give up, in fact, this sign has been obvious since the "give the ball to Li Wan" tactic last season.

This season has become even more evident with the growth of Sabonis Jr. and the arrival of Carmelo Anthony, who is only averaging about seven assists per game this season.

It's already a new low since his rookie season.

There are only rebounds, if there is still a game in November and December, looking at his average of more than 13 rebounds per game, Li Wan, who still has some thoughts about the "rebounding king", gave up chasing the idea of chasing the honor of "scoring king", "assist king" and "rebounding king" for the first time in NBA history after seeing the average of 16 rebounds per game in "Zhuang Shen".

He's so perverted!

As for grabbing so many points in such a short period of time, Barkley keenly noticed the changes in Li Wan's game: "Lee shot a little too many times outside the three-point line in this game!" ”

Normally, Li Wan averages about 11 three-pointers per game, and this game is even more, Li Wan made 15 three-pointers and hit 9 of them very explosively......

Kenny Smith was unimpressed: "If it works, Li Wan will indeed insist on using a certain way of scoring!" ”

Barkley listened to Kenny Smith's explanation and nodded, and Kenny Smith's words, he couldn't refute them.

This is also the most terrifying thing about Li Wan, while he has explosive physical fitness, solid basic skills, and excellent projection skills, this guy also has an extremely calm brain......

He will adjust his attacking style in time according to the situation!

It's a bug-free "winning machine"!

In fact, after analyzing these advantages of Li Wan, it is not surprising that he overtakes Michael Jordan......

Well, well!

It's still shocking, if it's not that it's happened, then no one can believe that there really is a more fierce existence than Michael Jordan, especially for these 90s stars.

However, they soon found out that Li Wan didn't seem to have changed his style of play in this game, but ......

In the next game, the shooting outside the three-point line was strengthened!

"Is this trying to overtake Ray Allen again?"

Some media people have put forward such conjectures.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why Lee suddenly massively increased his projection from beyond the three-point line. In the three games after the All-Star, Li Wan took more than 15 shots from outside the three-point line.

The media asked Li Wan about this situation, and Li Wan said: "There is nothing special about it, I just feel good outside the three-point line recently, so I have increased the number of shots!" ”

The reporters really can't refute it, because after the All-Star break, Li Wan shot more than 50% of his three-pointers while averaging 15 three-pointers per game.

In just 3 games, he made 24 three-pointers!

The state can be said to be quite explosive.

"Of course, wanting to become the all-time three-point king faster is indeed one of the reasons why I did this!" Li Wan suddenly added another sentence at the end, and then laughed first.

In fact, the main reason for him is to hurry up and complete the task of the last "historical three-point king" and open the SSS-level template!

But this reason, he can't say it to the media camera.

February 24th.

Columbus plays the New Orleans Hornets on the road.

James Harden hasn't returned yet.

Chris Paul and Anthony Davis lead the team against Lee Wan and the Columbus Explorers.

Ray Allen once again "supervised the battle" on the spot.

After Li Wan made 24 three-pointers in three games, Li Wan is still 11 minutes away from tying Ray Allen's "all-time three-point king" record, and even according to his current explosive state, it will take 2 games to break this record.

But Ray Allen chose to watch this game live......

Yes, "Junzi Lei" is here to give Li Wan strength again!

He averaged 8 three-pointers per game, and he shot 3 games, so it shouldn't be difficult to make 11 three-pointers in a single game, right?

Li Wan looked at the cunning on Lei Allen's face, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: If you don't say that it is red near Zhu and black near ink, how can this "gentleman Lei" change like this, no wonder it has brought me badly!

Looking back on his career, Li Wan feels that he has met all the "bad guys".

The New Orleans watched as the two men hugged and booed wildly.

What did we do with New Orleans?

Do you really think 11 three-pointers are so easy to take?

Did you know that we are currently the second in the West?

Even without James Harden!

We're not muddy either!

They naturally knew what Ray Allen meant when he came, and they also knew what this hug between Li Wan and Ray Allen meant.

For New Orleans fans, who have risen to become an upstart in the West in the past three years, this is Chiguo's provocation!

Li Wan listened to the increasingly fierce boos from the audience, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart:

You said, in this case, how can you not stuff the big basketball into their mouths, no, into their baskets?

New Orleans needs a "library"!

Especially tonight!

The big screen on the scene gave the starting list on both sides:

"Columbus Explorers: No. 1 Levan, No. 2 Wiggins, No. 3 Anthony, No. 4 Sabonis Jr., No. 5 Adams;

New Orleans Hornets: Chris Paul at No. 1, 'Roundface Den' at No. 2, Ariza at No. 3, Anthony Davis at No. 4, PJ Tucker at No. 5; ”

"Round-faced Deng" has been put on the bench from the starting list since Chris Paul arrived.

With more freedom, he quickly developed after a period of adaptation, averaging 15.6 points and 3.2 assists per game, making him Brogdon's biggest contender for the "Sixth Man of the Year" award.

During the period when James Harden was sidelined with a thigh muscle injury, he returned to the starting lineup.

The average data per game has also increased, and he can average 18.6 points per game during this time!

It is the key to the Hornets being able to maintain 4 wins and 2 losses in 6 games without James Harden.

Another key one is, of course, Chris Paul.

His combination with Anthony Davis has become the Hornets' sharpest offensive weapon during this time.

Chris Paul has regained his form of being the "No. 1 point guard in the league" during this time, averaging 17.5 points and 10.5 assists per game.

However, the Hornets' most outstanding data during this period is Anthony Davis, who can average 32.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, an absolute "inside monster" performance!

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, whether Columbus can win this game easily depends on whether he can limit Anthony Davis's play.

After all, James Harden is not there, and this team is missing a regular season MVP-level guy, and this loss can't be made up. But in this game, the Hornets can scorch Columbus until the last moment, which is equivalent to winning......

"Toot"

The referee's whistle blew and Anthony Davis managed to steal the first attack for his team.

Chris Paul got the ball to the frontcourt, and Anthony Davis was already running to the three-point line to block the pick-and-roll.

Li Wan was blocked tightly.

Chris Paul managed to get the ball inside the three-point line, continued to break through resolutely, attracted the bag, and gave the ball behind him from his crotch, where Anthony Davis, who blocked the pick-and-roll, followed closely behind him, and after holding the ball, he made a layup like an outside player and put the ball in the basket.

2-0!

There have been some things in the past two days, and the 10,000-word update will be resumed later, and the final story will be written safely. Thank you brothers for accompanying me all the way.
