If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard for Li Wan to believe that it would be Kevin Durant and Green who would be on the court together.

December 25th.

The NBA's "Christmas War", this time the protagonist is still the Columbus Explorers and the Warriors, the opponents of last season's Finals.

Li Wan is once again convinced that in the journey of life, the order of appearance is really important.

After being teammates with LeBron James, Green now has a "lot of affection" with Kevin Durant.

When I was interviewed before the game, it was "going out and going in together", and now I am warming up on the sidelines, and I will pass one to you and you throw one to me, not to mention how warm the scene is.

It's no wonder he has such an attitude.

Green had already felt after the training game before the start of the new season, and this year he should be back to his old glory, with the help of Kevin Durant......

As it turned out, his hunch was completely correct.

He returned to the "top of the arc" card, and so far, he has averaged 11.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, which is the absolute peak of Green.

In the new season, he has not just shouted: "I feel like everything is back, I have found my old self!" ”

This is the fourth year of his big contract, and he has the last season left on his contract next year, so it's really important to get his stats and team status back at this time.

In fact, it is not only him who has benefited immensely since Kevin Durant came, but also the rest of the Warriors, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, are all beneficiaries.

Because the opponent now has another pitcher on the outside who wants to pay attention.

Of course, this aspect complements each other, and the opponent cannot completely empty the "Splash Brothers" just because of Kevin Durant.

This is actually a very fatal defensive problem.

For most of the head coaches in the league, it is definitely a challenge to keep these three men at bay.

In the original plane, this should have been an unsolvable problem.

Otherwise, the Warriors would not have won two championships and one runner-up in the three years they have Kevin Durant.

Even many media prefer to believe that if it weren't for the Warriors' own injuries, the Warriors would have been able to win three consecutive championships.

That dominance......

And the original Warriors actually proved that they never needed a ball-handling core, from the "North Carolina Black Hawks" at the beginning to Kevin Durant and Wiggins in the back, all of them are all-round forwards, they can do anything, and they are not too weak in any aspect.

Having Kevin Durant is the top match of this lineup!

In addition to James Harden and the Rockets who brought him trouble during the "two consecutive championships" period, and the Warriors played a "tie-break" in the playoffs, what "Thanos Jan" or the like, he had no temper at all in front of him.

This is the "cosmic bravery" that originally ruled this alliance.

But in this time and space, because of the "butterfly effect", Kevin Durant, who joined the Warriors two years late, still made the Warriors present a "Raptors crossing the river" posture in the West.

This can be seen in their whole state.

At the end of November, the Warriors, Trail Blazers and Hornets presented a "triumvirate", but on December 8, the Warriors still defeated the Hornets 116-110, making their only remaining opponent in the West the Trail Blazers.

So far in December, they have only lost two games.

It is currently the team with the best record in the West.

The Trail Blazers have had some ups and downs after beating the Columbus Explorers at the beginning of the month and have lost four games so far, the same record as the Hornets, and because they lost a regular season game to the Hornets, they are in third place in the West.

The ranking of the west is gradually becoming clearer.

Of course, for the Warriors, the test of whether they really have a championship is never what the record is.

They have the best record in the league in the past three years, winning 70 regular season games for the third year in a row, but the Warriors' home court still doesn't have a championship flag.

To test whether they are really different, we have to see tonight's "Christmas War" with the Columbus Explorers!

Speaking of which, the Columbus Explorers have lost six games so far and are only in second place in the East, and the Raptors have a better record than them.

But......

In the odds of spinach winning the championship, Columbus is still in first place.

The odds are minimal!

In this case, the dealer did not dare to open the market, the main reason is that Li Wan is too violent!

In November, he averaged nearly 56 points per game, and in the first game in December, he cut 60 plus, and then sparked all the way with lightning, and all kinds of 50 plus in a single game, staging non-human behavior.

So far, the schedule of the new season has come to 25 games, and Li Wan has won as many as 22 games with 50 plus!

One of them didn't get because Tyronn Lue chose to rest him.

It is worth mentioning that Tatum was fined 50,000 yuan for issuing a ticket.

Because it was a "live broadcast in the United States", Li Wan, as a "box office guarantee", actually made him absent, ......

What a crime!

That is to say, so far, Li Wan has only 2 games without 50 points, and the others are all 50 plus.

And what does that mean?

Let's put it this way, while Li Wan won 22 single-game 50 pluses, the entire league has only had about 5 single-game 50 pluses, which is equivalent to saying that Li Wan alone has won 50 plus per game, which is more than 4 times that of the entire league.

More crucially, Li Wan has only played an average of 36.4 minutes per game until the scene, which is a very normal playing time...... Compared with Chamberlain, who averaged 48 minutes per game and cut 50 plus, Li Wan averaged 55.4 points per game in less than 37 minutes, which is even more terrifying!

Barkley had this to say: "In the past, we used to use the term "good scoring ability to describe a certain player, but now, I declare that I will use Li Wan to describe a certain guy who has strong scoring ability......"

But the more he said that he felt that it was wrong, in this alliance, after Li Wan played such data, who else could put the label of "Li Wan" in front of him?

Isn't this pure to recruit blackness for yourself?

Then Barkley figured it out......

No one can be the next "Li Wan", but Li Wan can be used as a unit of measurement, for example, Li Wan currently has a total of 8 championship rings, minus LeBron James's ring index, Li Wan still has 8 championship rings.

This shows that LeBron James is a "0"!

Another example is that James Harden is now averaging 37.6 points per game, which is about 67% of Li Wan's average points per game!

Then it can be said that James Harden is "2 out of 3 Leevan!" ”

Hearing his explanation, Kenny Smith could only say one sentence: "It's you!" ”

It has brought Li Wan to a new height!

Even the 0.01% who originally wanted to question Li Wan, who could not average 50 points per game and played a "miracle" comparable to Chamberlain's "miracle", shut up. Li Wan proved with practical actions that he averaged 50 points per game?

If he averages 48 minutes per game, don't add 50 per game, even if he averages 60 points per game, that's what can be done in minutes!

Li Wan once again refreshed the limit of the "God of Basketball"!

It's the guy who's already incredibly powerful, but still makes people feel like he has a lot of leeway, you say......

Does spinach dare to put a handicap?

And this "Christmas War", in the opinion of many commentators, whether the Warriors can win or not mainly depends on whether they can limit Li Wan.

In fact, there is another way, and that is to beat the Columbus Explorers in this matter of scoring again.

The previous Trailblazers won Columbus by relying on the collective strength of the four core players, even if Li Wan scored 60 points, he could still only watch the team fail step by step and experience a rare "frustrated night".

But one undeniable fact is ......

In that game, Columbus was missing a "team-leading scorer" who averaged 20 points per game.

But in this game, Carmelo Anthony is going to play.

With a Cameron Anthony plus a Leewan, Steve Kerr really doesn't believe that any team can limit them by simply scoring them.

Li Wan: Then you think you can limit me by defending?

Needless to say, Steve Cole really thinks so.

However, he also has a theoretical basis, not by taking it for granted.

His basis is Kevin Durant.

The excellent physical condition allows him to interfere to the maximum extent when facing Li Wan, and at the same time, with such a defensive line in front, Iguodala and Klay Thompson and Green are also predictable.

So Steve Kerr believes that the Warriors' "Death Five" system can be a good personal shot against Leewan.

But Steve Cole forgot one thing......

Or rather, all the experts have forgotten about such a thing!

Li Wan doesn't necessarily have to score, he can pass the ball.

He is the player with the most "assists" in the league in the past 10 years.

Well......

At the same time, he is also the player who has won the most "scoring titles".

Heck, casually talking about group data, he is already the first person in the history of the NBA.

In the past in the NBA, no star has won the "scoring champion" and "assist champion" number of times in 10 years, and he can achieve the extreme.

Not to mention, he is still the "steal king" of the NBA in the past 10 years!

This dominance is really......

Simply so!

It's just that this season's average of 55 points per game has made everyone focus only on Li Wan's scoring.

Even these experts are thinking about how to limit Li Wan's scoring.

And in the first quarter of this game, Li Wan reminded everyone of it through continuous passing, and this guy is also a good show to connect the team.

Steve Cole's defense was on target.

In the first quarter, Li Wan was different from the past, only made 5 shots, scored 3 of them, but only scored 8 points in a single quarter, this data is already very good for other players, but for Li Wan, especially the "modern Chamberlain" who scored more than ten or twenty points in the first round at every turn this season. , it can be said that the performance is sluggish......

But in the first quarter, Li Wan passed six assists.

Steve Cole also feels extremely Cao Dan.

The Columbus guys really made him feel like they were deliberately targeting the Warriors.

When they play others, their state is generally not very good, but once they meet the Warriors, these "corner" players, play a stable.

Especially Carmelo Anthony and Wiggins, the two "second children", that is called a good form!

In the first quarter of this game, Li Wan had so many 4 assists, all of which were for the two of them.

It can be said that Li Wanchuan is good, but after all, it has to be said that the state of these two people is really hot.

The Warriors paid a terrible price for themselves to wrap up Leewan.

In the second quarter, Steve Kerr was a little out of his mind.

To wrap the clip or not to wrap the clip, that's a question!

Whether to let Li Wan pass the ball and pass "death", or let Li Wan shoot them "to death" with a shot, which of the two "death" methods is more noble.

Li Wan showed a lot of experience, he saw the Warriors' hesitation on the defensive end, they hesitated, Li Wan was not polite, and helped them make a choice at that time:

Gotta wrap me!

Seeing Li Wan strengthen his personal attack, Steve Kerr no longer hesitated, and immediately continued to resolutely execute the pack.

Li Wan played a few rounds against their defense, and after feeling that they were becoming more and more determined, he began to pass the ball again, thanks to the fact that everyone was already in a state of feeding in the first quarter, so the Columbus Explorers suddenly had a "scoring tide", almost anyone who got the ball could complete the offense, and the Warriors did not react for a while, and were pulled away by a double-digit point difference.

Steve Kerr had to call a timeout.

Then, Kevin Durant showed the biggest change he brought to the team when he joined the Warriors, holding the ball alone to help the Warriors stabilize the situation, and in the next few rounds, Li Wan fought against him for a while, but failed to open the point difference, and the Warriors, who stabilized the situation, began to chase points by relying on the "three-point rain" outside the three-point line.

When the "Splash Brothers" stood next to Kevin Durant, no one dared to say that they could defend them for the whole game, not even Columbus.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors chased the deficit to just five points.

Barkley glanced at the Columbus Explorers' stats:

Li Wan had 16 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, and almost completed a "triple-double" in the first half; Carmelo Anthony scored 14 points, Wiggins scored 11 points, and others also scored 8 points and 6 points, and the whole team showed a trend of "more blossoming".

But Barkley sighed briefly: "It has to be Li Wan who attacks it himself, and this team wins to be happy!"

Since the beginning of the new season, Li Wan has generally strengthened his personal offense, often scoring twenty or thirty points at the end of the first half, such a ferocious offensive, many teams can't even hold on to the first half and are a bit of a rout, this season, it is common for the Columbus Explorers to lead by more than 10 points at halftime.

But in this game, Li Wan focused on the organizational end, and the result was ...... finally made a lot of effort in the second quarter and pulled away from the double digits, but it was slowly grinded back by the opposite side.

Does this mean that Li Wan's shot is the best choice for the Columbus Explorers?

Kenny Smith said: "It could also be because they're playing against the Warriors tonight!" ”

This is currently the first in the West!

Moreover, it is the first place in the west in the situation of "three heroes tied", and this gold content is placed here, and it is definitely not easy to win.

In fact, because the Columbus Explorers lost to the Trail Blazers, this game was seen by many media before the game as the smaller side to win.

It's not that this season's Finals meet, the Warriors will definitely win, and the Columbus Explorers will definitely lose.

It's just this game.

But after watching the first half, their first reaction was......

Are these Columbians going to be as good as they hit the Warriors?

The reason is the same as Steve Cole thinks, but compared to playing against other teams, the difference in Columbus's state except for Li Wan is indeed a bit too big!

This is not for what this is?

As the second half continued, as if to test Kenny Smith's idea, Lee Wan began to step up his individual offense, and his tidal three-point shot began to work.

This is another more significant feature of Li Wan on the field of play in the new season:

This season, Leewan's performance from beyond the three-point line has reached new heights, averaging 7.4 three-pointers per game.

Relying on three-pointers alone, Li Wan can score 22 points per game.

Li Wan can get 50 plus in 36 minutes, which is also an important reason.

The entire Warriors rely on three-pointers to beat their opponents, and this team's three-point shooting is extremely ferocious, making about 14 three-pointers per game.

Seriously, just outside the three-point line, Steve Kerr can say something very domineering:

What haven't I experienced?

But seeing that Li Wan made 5 three-pointers in less than 6 minutes after the start of the third quarter, he could only say: "I really haven't seen this situation!" ”

It's so cruel.

Even Stephen Curry, can't shooting a three-pointer be as simple as eating and drinking?

When Levan hit five three-pointers in a row, the Columbus Explorers also stretched the margin back to more than double digits.

But the Warriors once again showed their resilience, and it was Kevin Durant who took the lead, used his strong individual ability, completed the offense, and successfully stabilized the point difference.

In the fourth quarter of the game, at the insistence of the Warriors, the difference suddenly returned to 6 points.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the difference in points came to within 3 points, a goal difference.

At the critical moment of the two teams, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant hit key shots in a row, but on the side of the Columbus Explorers, Li Wan is not the only one who has the ability to make key shots.

Carmelo Anthony, who gave LeBron James a heartbreak in Game 3 of last season's Finals, once again completed the "quasi-final shot".

119-117, the Columbus Explorers held on to their home win by 2 points and did not lose to the second "Western Three".

Seriously, even if there is Leewan, if he loses to the Warriors after losing to the Trail Blazers, then the prospect of the Columbus Explorers winning the championship will definitely be underestimated, that's for sure!

No one will be looked up to all the time, they all speak with their performance and ability to lead the team, unless this person is in control of the media.

The whistle blew, and the data on both sides was frozen:

Li Wan scored 16 points in the first half, originally thought that this game should be the fourth time this season that he scored more than 50 points in a single game, but he didn't expect that in the third quarter, he threw 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and it was completed in a very short time, and quickly scored 15 points at the same time, Li Wan then made a sudden throw, cut down 8 points, and in the entire third quarter, Li Wan scored 23 points, so that before the fourth quarter, his score soared to 39 points.

11 points in the fourth quarter that needs to be scored, for Li Wan, it is not a very difficult number at all, and even scored 7 points before the end of the half quarter, and finally Li Wan's score in this game was fixed at 55 points. He also had 15 assists and 12 rebounds.

Well!

In this game, Li Wan successfully got a "big triple double" of 50 plus!

In addition to him, Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points, which was not a high score, but in the end he hit a "quasi-lore", a ball top usually dozens of balls.

Wiggins scored 17 points, and it can only be said that it was very Wiggins.

He was outstanding from beyond the three-point line, hitting a total of seven three-pointers.

On the Warriors' side:

Kevin Durant finished with 32 points, six rebounds and five assists. Green got 9 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists; The "Splash Brothers" combined to contribute 7 three-pointers, Stephen Curry chipped in 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Klay Thompson scored 18 points, shooting more than 50% from the field!

If you just look at the statistics of these people, in fact, this game is very good, and it can be said that they have played their usual state.

Of course, this is also normal, after all, the game is over, and the Warriors have only lost by 2 points.

Steve Kerr feels perverted about the state of the Columbus Explorers, but he agrees with the Warriors' performance in this "Christmas game".

In particular, Kevin Durant's performance can be said to have proved his ability to hold the ball in singles, and gave him someone to rely on in the singles link of the team with the ball that he was thinking about.

In this way, when it is necessary to stabilize the situation, the Warriors' options are not just to shoot three-pointers, but to have a more trustworthy way.

The Splash Brothers had time to buffer, and they levelled the margin twice in the game, proving that they have what it takes to chase down any team.

So after this game, it looks like they were beaten by Columbus in the third game of the finals last season, but in Steve Kerr's opinion, this is their most promising year!

After the "Christmas War", the Columbus Explorers have 3 games left.

Lee Wan continued his 50 plus per game average, ending their entire campaign in December with Columbus on a winning streak.

For the entire month of December, the Columbus team was 12-4,

Because of the "back-to-back", there are some tactical adjustments, plus the ups and downs of the players' form, the Columbus Explorers have lost more this month.

In the east, it can only be in second place.

It's even on par with the third-place Bucks.

But even so, the "Eastern Player of the Month Award" in December still belongs to Li Wan.

No way, his average data per game is too perverted, following the average of nearly 56 points per game in November, Li Wan's average score per game this month is still a terrifying 55.8 points, including 2 times 60 plus per game, and it is very coincidental, 1 time at the beginning of the month, and then 1 time at the end of the month.

He also had 13.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists, 3 steals and 1.8 blocks.

Although this alliance has an unwritten rule of "praising the new and not the old", I like "freshness".

But the problem is that when a player is perverted to the level of Li Wan, if you still ignore him, let alone Li Wan doesn't agree, these media reporters and fans will question it first.

The New York Times: "This league will never be able to hide the supergiant that has broken to the top!" ”

In other words, if the supergiant is subconsciously ignored by the "unspoken rules" of the alliance, then please think about it, is it your own problem!

In fact, if this kind of thing had been said before this season, they would definitely not have said this, but would have blamed the league for this and not given Li Wan enough respect.

But after Li Wan played a performance that refreshed everyone's cognition, "The New York Times" immediately changed its face, striving to highlight Li Wan's difference!

Well......

When Barkley saw this article, he immediately said, "In terms of touting, I'm not as good as the New York Times!" ”

This novel angle is really too ......

He can also be regarded as opening the door to a new world, and on the road of touting, there is no strongest, only stronger!

"Brother Alphabet" got some regrets, because this guy has averaged 27.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in the past few years......

With such data, "Brother Alphabet" should have become another new "forward benchmark" in the league this season.

But the result is ......

Li Wan's "Super God Season" made all these people bleak.

After averaging 55.8 points per game for another month, Li Wan's career total came to 28,238 points!

358 points away from Shaq O'Neal's 28,596 points......

In terms of Li Wan's form in December, about 7 more games, Li Wan can surpass Shaq O'Neal.

This speed is actually very fast, but don't forget, the next is January, and in November and December, when the season has been played, Li Wan's average points per game have come to 55.7 points......

Next came the "Crazy January" ...... Who knows if he'll be even crazier!

Supposedly, it won't be......

But because he is Li Wan......

No one dared to pack a ticket and say that he would not play more crazy.

The first race in January.

Before Li Wan surpassed Shaq O'Neal, LeBron James overtook Shaq O'Neal first.

He scored 37 points in his first game in January to take his career tally to 28,605 points, overtaking Shaq O'Neal to No. 7 on the scoring list.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't let Li Wan overtake before surpassing Shaq O'Neal.

You know, everyone knows that when he was only more than 400 points away from Shaq O'Neal, Li Wan was more than 1,000 points behind, if Li Wan surpassed him before he surpassed Shaq O'Neal, then the gap between him and Li Wan in terms of scoring ability is too big, right?

Although this is true, in terms of the form that Li Wan has shown this season, there are few people in the history of this league who are not far behind Li Wan's scoring ability.

But LeBron James didn't want that to happen.

Fortunately, it was put an end to......

The moment he surpassed Shaq O'Neal, the Lakers head coach was going to call a timeout for LeBron James, but what he didn't expect was that before he called a timeout for LeBron James, LeBron James called a timeout for himself.

This operation made the head coach of the Lakers stunned.

He always thought that LeBron James was the fastest when he played the fast break, but now it seems that he called a timeout at such times compared to when he played the fast break!

It's so perverted!

He'll have to digest it.

On the second day of January, the Columbus Explorers also ushered in their first game of January, before which Levan received his second "Player of the Month" award of the season.

It is worth mentioning that when ESPN reported on this incident, it also bluntly said that "this season's regular season MVP competition is actually over!" ”

There won't be anyone who doesn't vote for this season's MVP for this season's Li Wan, right?

If this thing really happens, I am afraid that the reporters who did not vote for Li Wan at that time will be dug up, and then all kinds of "whipping corpses".

And, let's not forget, behind Li Wan stood all sorts of brain-dead New York fans.

Even today, they were happy and ran to set a fire to Dolan's house!

These people are not afraid of going to jail at all, they are even more afraid of Giegie being wronged......

And after the first game of the new year for the Columbus Explorers, the first sentence of many reporters reporting this game was:

It is worthy of Li Wan!

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint them!

What does this mean......

"January Madness", it's coming!

Lee, who averaged 55.7 points per game in the previous two months, scored 68 points in his first game in January.

It was his highest single-game score so far this season.

scored such a score in the first game in January, if you want to say that Li Wan didn't mean it, these reporters really don't believe it!

The 358-point difference with Shaq O'Neal also came to 290 points after this game......

Li Wan's score continued to rise in the future!

Yes, you read that right, even though he scored 68 points in the first game in January, he continued to record season highs in the next few races in January.

In the second game in January, Li Wan scored his first 70 points of the season.

In the third game in January, Li Wan scored 72 points......

It wasn't until the fourth game that his single-game score dropped to 42 points.

But after playing more than 4 minutes in the third quarter, he sat and rested off the court, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that he is taking turns resting, recovering physically, and preparing to continue to go crazy......

And after scoring two single-game 70 plus and one single-game 42 points, he is only 108 points away from Shaq O'Neal......

The next game is the Columbus Explorers away to the Magic.

This is the first time that Li Wan has returned to Orlando in the new season.

There weren't too many questions about Lee Wan scoring more than Shaq O'Neal in total.

Because there is still a difference of 108 points, no matter how you say it, it will take two games!

Everyone agreed that the next game would be a historic moment.

But......

During a training match, Vince Carter accidentally sprained his foot, and the other ......

When the game time came, in the audience on the sidelines, Li Wan saw a familiar figure:

The mountain-like fat appearance, as well as the grassless "boiled egg" hairstyle.

Shaq O'Neal actually appeared on the sidelines of tonight's game, and when he saw Li Wan, his first words were:

"Li Wan, if you have the ability, you will give me more than tonight!"

Well......

He also came to give Li Wan strength! (End of chapter)
