Chapter 393: Shattered Image
At the end of the game, Li Wan's score was fixed at 48 points.
Originally, there was enough time to score 50 points, but after the game entered "garbage time", Li Wan did not continue to exert his strength, but gave up "show time" to the rest of the Columbus Explorers team.
Therefore, in addition to 48 points, Li Wan also got 15 rebounds and 12 assists.
In the first game of the finals, he got a "triple-double" of nearly 50 points, and Li Wan's state was ......
It really didn't surprise many people......
Isn't this the norm?
Does this still need to be boasted?
In addition to Leewan, Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points, which can also be the second-highest score for the Warriors.
It's 2 points higher than LeBron James.
The Warriors' top scorer was Stephen Curry, who scored 28 points in the first three quarters when targeted, but only scored six points in the fourth quarter as his fitness declined.
The final score was 34 points.
He also had two rebounds and five assists.
LeBron James finished with 22 points, along with eight rebounds and eight assists and six turnovers.
Many people know that LeBron James played a terrible performance when he first faced the Spurs in '07, shooting a dismal 35% from the field and a dismal 20% from three-point range......
But at that time, he at least dared to take action himself!
But what many people don't know is that the original LeBron James faced the Spurs three times in the Finals, and his performance was not just unsatisfactory for the first time, but also when he won the championship in 13 years, he also said that it was very good.
Facing the Spurs in the '13 Finals, LeBron James averaged 18 points, 17 points, and 15 points per game in the first 3 games...... In these three games, the Spurs also achieved a 2-1 record, and the third game played a wave of 113-77 score difference.
14 years can be said to be LeBron James's best year against the Spurs, but it also has a lot to do with the overall tactical adjustment of the Spurs that year.
Seriously, Popovich would be more comfortable and bold in his face against players who don't have much skill.
Letting Xiao Si make a move back then is a good example.
Coincidentally, that year, the Spurs swept the Suns 4-1 and reached the Finals; In '14, the Spurs also swept the Heat 4-1 and lifted the championship.
There are players who have flashy stats, but they really don't play a decisive role in the game.
This is also the reason why LeBron James has played so many "tie-breaks" in the playoffs.
Compared with LeBron James, Jordan only has 3 "tie-breaks" in his career......
Wouldn't it be said that LeBron James had been playing for a long time at this time?
Wouldn't it, wouldn't it?
Therefore, playing for a long time is really a "double-edged sword", there is a good side, and there will be a bad side, but some groups never mention the bad side.
But this set of "brainwashing" also deceives his own people.
Others, who cares about you!
Carmelo Anthony was surrounded by reporters after the game, in addition to scoring 25 points in this game, more importantly, he also had a high shooting rate, about 48%, such a state is not an exaggeration to say "form rebound".
So a reporter asked, "Man, are you because of the media's comments?" Think that the helpers by Li Wan's side this year are the worst helpers around him in recent years? ”
Cameron Anthony said: "These voices don't affect me, I'm still doing my ......"
Well......
Although there is a voice in my heart that keeps saying:
Fuck them, slap the b-faces of these bitches, and let them dare to say that Li Wan's helpers are the worst batch of people in the past!
But on the surface, "melon" still has to maintain its image.
has been in the league for so many years, and can still be hurt by the media or opponents' language, such as responding on Twitter, saying that he is the sun or something, how can you little Karami compare with yourself, there is only one reason, that is, it really pokes the sore spot.
Otherwise, how can someone say two words and get angry?
Oh no, there's another possibility......
The self-proclaimed "best of all-time" GOAT, like his fans, must not repeat what he said, or else it would be "Kuroko"!
When talking about Carmelo Anthony's "rebound", Tyronn Lue did not say anything about the newspaper, but hid his "merit and fame" and showed a faint smile: "I know that any difficulties are temporary for him, he will find his form, this, whether it is Carmelo Anthony or the rest of the Columbus Explorers, I believe, it is the same, I have full trust in them!" ”
Speaking of which, after this game, the entire media's evaluation of Tyronn Lue has risen to a new height, and the reason is very simple, he completely suppressed Steve Kerr in this game, and took the lead in various tactical adjustments.
Steve Cole had all his actions limited tonight.
The whole atmosphere here is quite relaxed.
Although it was only the first game of the Finals, and the whole series could even be said to have just begun, this game of the Columbus Explorers was away, and they played one game first on the road, and then they had no baggage.
The Warriors are different, look at the Warriors' press conference after losing this game, the whole can be said to be "gloomy", whether it is Steve Kerr or Stephen Curry, or Green, who is usually the most nervous, his face is not very good-looking.
They all know very well that losing this game means they have to win the next game, and if they really go to Columbus with a score of 0-2, then there is a good chance that they will be swept away.
Waiting for time on both sides, they are not rushing to be swept away!
You must know that they were 4-1 last time, even if they don't win this time, it should be 4-2, right?
Why not "4-3", you say?
It can only be said that after the first game, the psychology of the Warriors has had some small ups and downs.
The Columbus Explorers pressed the tempo too hard, and their "small ball" couldn't hit it at all.
After the Warriors fell into a positional battle, the problem of lack of singles with the ball was also completely exposed in the first game.
Well......
That's probably the biggest problem!
Not only did they lose the first game of the series, but they also exposed unsolvable problems in the first game.
LeBron James was interviewed after the game, and his ears were full of "29-0", "29-0", "29-0"......
And the media also believe that whether LeBron James can play dominance with the ball has become the key to whether the Warriors can play in the next game to make the series full of anxiety again!
At the same time, it is also believed by the media that this is the key to whether LeBron James can beat Lee Wan in the playoffs for the first time in his career......
There are even some media who infinitely elevate the severity of the problem, believing that this will be a turning point in LeBron James' career, if this time, when he is most needed to stand up and score with the ball, he fails to give a corresponding performance, I am afraid that no team will still treat him as the "super core" of the team in the future!
In fact, if this is another star, he will no longer be the "absolute core" of the team after leaving Cleveland.
Including the original Abdul-Jabbar, he is really not the absolute boss of the Lakers.
LeBron, after changing so many teams, can still call himself the "absolute core of the team".
And it all stems from his sheer talent.
It's just the result......
No one expected that he had not won the championship until now, and he had come to the point of fate......
It can only be said that the luck was a little worse, and I met a super big hanging B.
Is it a shame to lose to "hang B"?
What a shame!
What?
You said that the "hanging" that God gave him is big enough?
Doesn't this just show that God is fair?
gave him the physical fitness that is far from the average star, but gave him a heart that likes to play "clown".
LeBron James is under a lot of pressure because of this, and one thing that's a well-known thing, when LeBron James is under pressure, he never disappoints......
It can be seen from the second game of the Finals that LeBron James is extremely hesitant to choose on the court, and it seems that every round must be sure enough to make a choice.
Let's put it this way......
Cowardly!
Barkley points out the crux of the problem: "LeBron James just cares too much about whether he will make mistakes!" Once you have such a thought, then the game is often not played well! This is a certain thing, no matter who it is, on such a stage, there must be no ideological baggage, but should show an indomitable attitude, don't be afraid to make mistakes, no matter who it is, it will definitely make mistakes on the field! ”
It's a pity that LeBron James, who is standing on the court at the moment, can't hear his words, of course, he won't necessarily change if he hears it, he has been playing like this for so many years, you expect to change his mind in a few words, this is definitely impossible!
Steve Cole kept shaking his head.
I really don't blame him for this attitude, just LeBron James's timid appearance tonight, dogs will shake their heads when they see it, let alone him!
To make matters worse, the Columbus Explorers were in great shape tonight, playing smoothly on the offensive end, especially against the backdrop of the Warriors' constipated offense.
Drexler discovered the "Hua Point": "It feels like the Columbus Explorers will be strong as soon as they beat the Golden State Warriors!" ”
He wasn't just talking about Li Wan.
Since the Columbus Explorers entered the playoffs, there have been a total of three series, and except for Li Wan, everyone else has not played very consistently, especially the game against the Bucks in the second round, and the game against the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals...... The rest of the Columbus Explorers have been up and down to the point where the media thought they might lose the Finals.
But in terms of the two matches in the finals......
In the first game of the finals, Carmelo Anthony immediately "woke up" and scored 25 points!
And in tonight's game, not only Carmelo Anthony continued to perform well, but other members of the Columbus Explorers, such as Wiggins, also found their touch outside the three-point line, and at the end of the first half of this game, he shot 2 of 4 from outside the three-point line, which made the Warriors dare not let him go at all, which also gave Carmelo Anthony and Li Wan a more comfortable output space.
Carmelo Anthony continued to score efficiently in this game, which has a lot to do with his power outside the three-point line!
Steve Kerr obviously laid out a lot of targets for Carmelo Anthony's singles, but because Wiggins opened tonight from outside the three-point line, the Warriors had to set up targets on the defensive end, resulting in the Warriors' singles against Anthony not working very well.
Their own targeting has no effect, and those who are expecting to support themselves have not supported themselves, and the result of the Warriors' second home court in the Finals is self-evident.
101-121, the Columbus Explorers won by 20 points, expanding the score to 2-0!
Since the next game is at the home of the Columbus Explorers, after this game, Chris Webb bluntly said: "It's all over, in my opinion, this year's finals will be 4-0!" ”
The home court was beaten like this, anyway, Chris Webb really hard to believe, and then when it comes to the home court of the Columbus Explorers, the Warriors can stand up.
At the same time, he expressed his disappointment with LeBron James: "This kind of game should have been a game for him to prove his quality, but he did not take the responsibility he should have, perhaps it can be said that he did not win the championship in his entire career, not without reason, his entanglement and cowardice at the critical moment is the biggest problem that he failed to win the championship!" ”
This remark is not ruthless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a direct slap in the face of LeBron James.
But if you really want to say it, compared with the complaints of major media and the complaints of major fans on the Internet early the next morning, Chris Webb's words are a bit insufficient.
"So tell me, what is it about him that makes him the absolute heart of the team forever?"
"The Zen master is not wrong, data is a big cake, and LeBron James chose the one who will share the cake! He always wants to hold all the resources of the team in his hands, and he enjoys this feeling, but unfortunately he can't assign the opponent's style of play, otherwise he is definitely the god of basketball! ”
"All the people who think of LeBron James as the sun should wake up, maybe his talent is really explosive, but he is really not the sun, he is the moon, through the light of others, to show his own light, his teammates have never been bad, but he just can't win the championship!"
"I think the Cavaliers should have insisted that he play for Ricky Davis in the first place, this is a Pippen, but he wants to be Michael Jordan!"
……
In the second game of the NBA17~18 season finals, LeBron James's poor performance of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers completely aroused doubts from the outside world.
The image that his team has been bothering to operate is finally shattered at this moment!
The good news is that there is no yang, and the bad news is that there is a severe cold, dizziness, and the temperature is not high, but it is stuck at that point, which makes you feel warm, and you can't take antipyretics directly, you can only drink more water, promote metabolism, sit in front of the computer, and really can't type a word for a long time.
There are still things I want to write about in the finals, and I definitely can't write what I want in this state today, so let's get stuck, and tomorrow the state will improve, and the finals will end directly.
It is true that the physical fitness has declined a lot, and it is easy to catch a cold when it encounters the season of alternating hot and cold. And it's different every time, it was wind chill before, and it's wind heat this time.
Recently, I am preparing to gradually start to resume sports, and it is really uncomfortable to be so sick all the time.
