Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife: Chapter 125 East and West are messed up into a pot of porridge
The targeted training of the Magic team is in full swing.
The east and west have become more and more chaotic in the past two days, and it has almost turned into a pot of porridge.
Let’s talk about the Rockets who have won the previous two games and have a high probability of being able to “Black Seven”.
Tracy McGrady was affected by his ankle sprain. As expected, he did not play in the third game of the series. In this game, Dayao was alone. Although he scored 25 points and 12 rebounds, he still lost the game.
After the game, there was a lot of controversy, and they all went to McGrady.
The Houston media is very dissatisfied with the Rockets' first high salary and no work.
To this end, the Rockets and McGrady had to hold a special press conference. In order to prove his innocence, McGrady even showed the media his injured ankle.
It can still be seen that it is really swollen.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal, and the "Houston Chronicle" published an article calling McGrady a "weak deserter."
This is Houston's most official and widely read newspaper.
For a time, there were many more radical voices among the fans...
However, the fourth game of the McGrady series still chose a truce, and the Hornets pulled one back at the Rockets' home court.
The big score was 2-2.
Seeing that last year's misery is about to be staged again, the entire Houston is boiling, but all Houston fans have more or less great opinions on McGrady.
The crucial fifth game will start at the New Orleans Arena, and the Houston media is mad and condemned, trying to force the game. - They stand on the commanding heights of public opinion, Maddie can't see their faces...
At the same time, the game between the Jazz and the Mavericks is also becoming more and more intense. Whoever wins this game will win the next game. The "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" is obviously in sight.
Coupled with the upcoming "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" between the Celtics and the Eagles...
In the first round, three teams played to a 2-2 draw in the first four games.
It also includes the Celtics, who have been leading the regular season record list before!
I am afraid that when the preseason started, no one thought that the first round of the playoffs would be so intense, right?
and this…
It's the playoffs!
Some happy, some sad...
Several of their battles are unknown, but the Lakers escaped from Denver, took the Nuggets 4-0, and became the first team to advance in the first round of the Western Conference.
George Karl obviously bullied an honest man like Curry. Facing the Lakers, when the Nuggets were at a disadvantage, he did not arrange any shameful tricks.
Watching the Nuggets lose Game 4 of the series by 18 points!
The Lakers are back in the second round of the playoffs after three seasons...
The buzzer sounded, and Kobe high-fived with his teammates one by one, but compared to the appearance of others, his face was a little less smiling. Ariza, who was laughing happily at first, couldn't laugh anymore.
This…
What a freak!
Are you not happy that you got promoted?
If he asked Kobe, Kobe would definitely tell him: "If your goal is a championship, it's too early to laugh now..."
Easy to laugh into next season.
In addition, the Spurs lead the Suns 3-1.
The arrival of Shaq did not produce the chemical reaction that Steve Kerr wanted. Instead, because of the "fat shark" dragged down, the Suns' offensive and defensive conversion speed was seriously delayed.
In the face of the Spurs who eliminated them last season, the Suns have a "heart of revenge", but they can only watch the opponent open the score.
As for the two remaining teams in the East...
The Wizards with Arenas in them failed to stop the Cavaliers last year, not to mention the Wizards who lack the "General" now. Under the eyes of Washington fans, the Cavaliers won the third game of the series and advanced to the next level. ,a step far!
The Pistons and the 76ers also came to a 3-1 score, winning the first game of the 76ers, allowing the Pistons to win three straight games.
To say the 76ers guys obviously haven't played mahjong, or they must know...
I would rather be slashed with a thousand knives than be the first!
As the opponents in the second round were gradually determined to be the Pistons, the training atmosphere of the entire Magic team suddenly became more serious and a little more fiery.
Sharpen the knife to the piston.
The Magic didn't expect the Philadelphia 76ers to knock out the Pistons.
They prefer to meet the Pistons in the second round, and then complete the revenge!
It may be difficult to fight, but this is the way of transformation of the strong. Only by defeating the Pistons who seem to be superior and impeccable in their eyes can they move forward even more!
so…
Pistons…
Quickly beat the 76ers, come and take a beating!
The Philadelphia 76ers didn't want to lose this series so quickly. In Game 5 of the series against the Pistons, the guys who came back to Detroit broke out and pulled it back with a big score of 3. -2!
Although the next road is still difficult to walk, they need to win two more games to reverse the victory and complete the "Black Seven", but there is fire in their eyes!
They played 3-2!
The other 3 groups of "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" also have the final decision.
The Celtics who returned to the home court had the right taste. Once again, the big score was easy to "boil the eagle". The Los Angeles media immediately issued an article: Atlanta is over.
In the heart of the Boston media, thousands of grass and mud horses roared and galloped past...
As it turns out, their aggressive tactics are of no use to Denver, and that's a "sugar man" who can't help.
But Los Angeles' aggressive approach to Atlanta really worked. Didn't they see dissatisfaction written on their faces when they left the North Shore Garden Plaza one by one?
The next time the Celtics go to Atlanta, it is estimated that it will be a hard fight...
west coast.
The Hornets captured the "Tianwang Mountain", and McGrady still did not play. The Rockets, which led 2-0, lost three straight games and are currently behind 2-3.
The media in Houston is going crazy.
Talking is becoming more and more vicious...
The Jazz had the last laugh in the "Five Fight" with the Mavericks.
Johnson's face gradually grew a little more disturbed.
All-Star weekend, the Mavericks sent Harris, is a signal.
If the big evolution doesn't work, it means that the head coach is going to be dismissed...
If you lose, someone has to stand up and take the blame, right?
The first round of the playoffs has gradually come to fruition.
During this period, the league announced the season's "Best Sixth Man Award" and "Most Improved Player Award".
The previous award belongs to the Argentine Manu Ginobili, who is gradually becoming bald, averaging 19.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
"Demon Knife" is still in the best time of his career!
Speaking of which, although he is already the most famous "sixth man on the team" in the NBA, Manu Ginobili is the first time he has won the "Best Sixth Man" award.
Last season, which was originally very loud, was finally robbed by Barbosa.
An interesting point is that last season, Barbosa defeated Ginobili with about 25% of the votes last season; this season, Ginobili also defeated Barbosa with about 50% of the votes.
The Most Improved Player Award belongs to Rudy Guyon.
Turkoglu's data has been somewhat lower since Li Wan came, averaging only 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, which is not much different from the original data.
But originally he also defeated Rudy Gayin with a slight advantage.
Rudy Gayin, who averaged only 10 points per game last season, doubled his scoring average this season, reaching the passing line of an All-Star player, averaging 20 points per game.
He was also Turkoglu's biggest opponent, and as Turkoglu's data declined, he successfully completed a comeback at the end of the season.
Turkoglu has long been mentally prepared, but when everything happens, it will inevitably be a little bit sad.
This is the first time he has come this close to an award since he entered the league...
However, when he is sad, he is still very open-minded on the surface. When others comfort him, his answer is probably like "I am lucky, I lost my life".
Li Wan analyzed the award for him:
"Look at McGrady, who won this award in 2000, and now he's scarred. O'Neal, who won the award in 2001, is also scarred. Arenas, who won the award in 2002, has been reimbursed for this season. Zach Randolph, who won the award in 2003, has become a Rubbish contract, 2004 winner Bobby Simmons, bruised, 2006 winner Dior, the second year after winning this award, became a substitute, this year even shortened the playing time, and last year's Monta Eli Si, I just won this award, it's no surprise..."
"Do you think your life is harder than theirs?"
When Turkoglu heard Li Wan's words, he felt a little guilty at the time.
Domestic people are very superstitious, and foreign people are even more superstitious because of the freedom of education.
Take Michael Jordan, who wore those North Carolina shorts his entire career…
Why?
Just because he believed that these pants were his switch to turn on the "God descends to the earth" mode.
What's more, Li Wan is not lying to him, this award did carry a "magic" in the first ten years of the 21st century.
Let's just say Turkoglu, who originally won this award...
In the second year after winning this award, although the Magic entered the finals and signed a big contract with the Menglong team in the summer, Turkoglu quickly lost himself in the cold Toronto and was soon out of the league.
As for the "Most Improved Player" Danny Granger in the next 2009, needless to say, the peak also fell due to injuries.
Therefore, in Li Wan's view, this award cannot be won if it can be won.
It's no fun.
Turkoglu also felt a chill behind his back the more he thought about it, and there was a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.
he thinks…
Li Wan is right!
So, his mind changed.
Gain my life, lose my luck!
This time, the mood is completely open-minded...
The Memphis media warmly celebrated Rudy Guyon becoming the first player in Grizzlies history to receive the "Most Improved Player Award"!
You see, this ancestor is not rich, and being a team leader is a great thing for the ancestors to smoke!
If this were in Los Angeles...
Unless the person who won this award is Li Wan.
Otherwise, it is estimated that there are even very few reports...
On April 25th, in the sixth game of the Celtics-Atlanta series, they returned to the Eagles at home again, and they showed their "young without limits" attitude, all kinds of youthful offense and defense, hard. Shengsheng defended his home court while trailing by 6 points.
Here comes the first "tiebreaker" of the 2007-08 playoffs!
It actually happened in the series between the No. 1 and No. 8 Eastern Conference.
"If the first season of the Celtics "Big Three" was "Black Eight", it would be the biggest joke in NBA history! 》
"The heart of the championship can not match the momentum of young people? Who would have thought that the Celtics would play a tiebreaker in the first round of the playoffs! 》
"Is the second "Black Eight" coming after the first round of NBA reform? This time in the east? 》
…
When the sixth game between the Eagles and the Celtics was concluded, the public opinion in the outside world suddenly changed.
The media who were more optimistic about the Celtics turned their heads one after another and shouted, "After the first round of reforms in the playoffs, the first black eight in the East will be born."
Even the Los Angeles media, who had been criticizing the Eagles before, changed their scathing attitude towards Atlanta in the past and said bluntly: "Great battles always come unexpectedly, and a youth storm from Atlanta blows into Boston!"
No wonder the media have changed their attitudes...
In any round of the series, when it comes to the crucial seventh game, any paper advantage counts.
The most test of "tie-breaker" is the momentum!
And now, after winning the sixth game, the Eagles, who have a "tiebreaker" in sight, and the Celtics who have a "championship heart" and regard this season as their "last hope of winning the championship".
Which side has more fighting spirit and passion, and which side has more pressure, the answer is self-evident.
On the same night, the Rockets and the Hornets ushered in the sixth game of the series, this game at the Rockets' home...
Maddie…
up!
Just like what Li Wan knew, he played in a closed position!
For the first time, there were a few different emotions in his eyes that hadn't woken up.
That's a decision!
It's better for a soldier to stand up and die, and fall on the court than to sit off the court and listen to the crazy boos from the audience...
the most important…
The number on the bank card reminds Maddie that he has a debt from Houston to pay!
This battle is not just to prove that I am a warrior, I will not watch the team lose, but more importantly, the money and love will end, and I will never owe each other again!
As for the effect on the body...
fuck him!
The "Yao Mai Combination" teamed up once again, putting out all the McGrady, and Yao Ming, the invincible insider, they successfully defended the home court and won 97-82, 15 points.
Maddie looked at the timer that was reset to zero, and the determination in his eyes still did not retreat.
He has given up his career, can he not break his "personality"?
Hornets and Rockets, the first "tiebreaker" of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs is about to start.
Interestingly, the winning side is "Black Eight", and the winning side is "Black Seven"!
In the first round of the 2007-08 season, the east and west were all messed up into a pot of porridge...
The Jazz defeated the Mavericks in Game 6 and advanced to the next round while eliminating their opponents 4-2.
In the second round of the playoffs, their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers who have been resting for four days and are ready to go!
On April 26, the other three groups were also divided.
west.
The Spurs were 3-1, allowing the Suns to win a game at home, but to Phoenix, they also successfully took the victory away.
By the way, I also sent the Suns back to go fishing.
4-2!
The Spurs reached the second round of the playoffs for the eighth straight year.
In fact, since the acquisition of Tim Duncan, the Spurs have fallen in the first round of the playoffs in the 1999-00 season, and the others have at least entered the second round...
The only year to fall in the first round of the playoffs...
Tim Duncan is injured...
Yes, he didn't hit!
This is the ability of Tim Duncan to lead the team!
Later, there were five positions in the NBA, and there were only two undisputed positions, one was a shooting guard, and the other was a power forward.
Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan, the dominance of two people compared to other people in the same position is really hard to compare the mind...
The powerful Tim Duncan also made the Spurs an "alternative dynasty" in NBA history.
east.
The Cavaliers defeated the Wizards 4-2.
The moment the team was eliminated, Arenas suddenly "fired" at the management: "I'm tired of the team losing to the Cavaliers all the time!"
The management team of the Wizards was stunned, and the reporters at the scene looked at each other...
no!
You're out of season and you haven't played games, what are you tired of?
It is said that Arenas' brain has never been normal since this time.
But Wizards fans are tolerant of Arenas.
This has to be traced back a long time ago, when Michael Jordan announced his third comeback, putting the Wizards at the center of public opinion in the NBA.
When I heard that the "God of Basketball" was going to make a comeback in the Wizards, a bunch of Washingtonians were boiling. After all, this team has no championship in the history of the team, and isn't Michael Jordan the best at winning championships?
It can be said that the anticipation was suddenly full.
As a result, two years later, Michael Jordan left the entire Washington with a piece of chicken feathers.
It was also at this time that Arenas arrived. With his explosive personal performance, flamboyant style of play, and solid leadership ability, Washington's "chicken feathers" flew into the sky.
Since then, Arenas has become a symbol of the city.
Almost what he said, the Wizards fans followed by saying "Arenas was right"!
This time is no exception.
The Wizards fans were unhappy when they heard that Arenas, one by one, like "licking dogs", they made trouble outside the arena for half the night.
Another set of Eastern Conference matchups played together the same night.
The Pistons and the Philadelphia 76ers, who are also the most concerned by the Magic, also have a winner.
Philadelphia failed to hold its home court…
4-2!
The Detroit Pistons advance to the next round.
their opponents...
Li Wan and the Magic Team!
"It's interesting now!"
In the TNT studios, Barkley was already looking forward to the game.
Li Wan had a conflict with Rasheed Wallace during the regular season.
The Pistons played against the Lakers in February was also marked by many live broadcast platforms.
It was only after the All-Star Weekend that Li Wan moved to Orlando. The Magic had played against the Pistons three times in the regular season. In the end, Li Wan failed to have a regular-season rematch with Wallace.
Originally some media also regretted.
Now…
Sorry it's all gone!
Yes, there are more expectations, because the contradiction between the two teams has become deeper in the first round of the playoffs!
After the match, Rasheed Wallace didn't shy away from the reporter's challenge at all, showing the "Roaring Heavenly Zun" reckless smile on the court: "Actually, I hope the second round will start tomorrow, yes Yeah, I don't think we need a break to play the Magic, you know, when we got to the Finals, a lot of people on this Magic team weren't even in the league!"
"They still don't know what this alliance is like!"
"But it's okay, soon they will know what the top team in the East needs to have! Basketball doesn't lie, don't think that sweeping the Menglong team can provoke the Pistons."
"Little rookies, you are still far from there!"
…
"Is it that far off? I think Rasheed Wallace might still be in his own world..."
This time, Li Wan didn't pretend that he didn't see it.
Rasheed Wallace's provocation reached his ears, and he responded unceremoniously.
"Let a guy who can only make breakthroughs score 25 points in overtime in the fourth quarter. Such an insider should be ashamed to commit suicide! O'Neal's grandma came to defend, and it is estimated that the effect is better than him!"
"The Pistons didn't make it to the Finals last year, and Rasheed Wallace should take the primary responsibility!"
"He's a sinner to all of Detroit!"
This knife is very accurate.
LeBron James said it would be better if it didn't hurt him, a pure passer-by.
The "Cleveland Honest" wanted to respond, but the "Ohio State" kept staring at it. I heard that Li Wan will go back to school this summer to participate in the jersey retirement ceremony, whether it is tied to Ohio University or Ohio State. Certainly deeper.
They don't want to hear the "Ohio State Journal" asking "what's your champion" anymore...
Cleveland's media ultimately chose to remain silent.
Since LeBron James came to Cleveland, the media in this frontier town has been jumping around. It is rare to see them slumped. I didn’t expect to meet Li Wan and be treated obediently.
And Rasheed Wallace, completely runaway...
But on April 27, the eyes of the outside world were still focused on Boston and New Orleans.
There, each has a battle that could change the fate of a dozen players.
Tonight's North Shore Gardens are a bit more chill than usual.
Boston's "Big Three" are more serious than the other.
Serious and decisive...
They have nowhere to go. Tonight's battle will determine whether they can continue their journey this season or become a laughing stock!
Betting on everything, they were under a lot of pressure, and it made them look ruthless when they saw the Eagles on the opposite side.
Before the series started, who would want these "chicks" to be able to push them to this point...
but!
everything is over!
Must end!
Compared with their solemnity, the young Eagles are more excited.
There is always some history that needs to be rewritten, why not us?
"Eagle" can also spread its wings and soar!
Two completely different expressions were inspired by two completely different states. —The Eagles are full of fighting spirit, and the Celtics…
Full of blood!
live to death...
In the end, blood won over fighting spirit.
because…
Even if they lose at this time, it is an acceptable ending for the young Eagles. After all, they have fought seven **** games against the Celtics, who are the eighth in the Eastern Conference!
So, 89 to 81, when the final whistle sounded, the first reaction of the Celtics was to breathe a sigh of relief. They finally got out of the situation with no way out...
As for the Eagles...with regrets in their eyes, they still comforted their teammates with high fives.
They have done a great job.
Although the "Black Eight" failed in the end, the Eagles were labeled by many experts: one of the eastern powerhouses next season!
They believe that after this war, the "young eagle" has transformed into an eagle!
Boston's "Big Three" thought so too, and sent their own blessings to their counterparts; "The future is yours!"
The inheritance of the alliance may all start from this moment.
Compared to this, the atmosphere in New Orleans is different...
Maddie gave himself another shot to seal.
Second stitch!
It looks tragic and tragic.
The Rockets know from top to bottom, from players to coaches, that this game has to be won.
This victory is McGrady's explanation to the Houstonians, and it is also the Rockets' explanation to McGrady!
Such beliefs...
The Hornets don't.
Chris Paul frowned, couldn't shout, threw the ball multiple times, and watched as the Rockets took the win from their home court.
tiebreaker…
The Rockets won!
Although not as difficult as "Black Eight".
But "Black Seven" is also rare!
the most important…
"Yao Mai Group" took off the hat of "not enough in the first round".
Especially Maddie!
From the sentence "If it was last year, I'd already be thinking about my opponent in the second round", he stopped in the first round and became a shackle hanging over his head.
Now…
He can finally let go!
Let it go along with the debt to Houston.
Two needles closed, in exchange for the Rockets to advance to the second round.
This is the toughest moment of McGrady's career. The difference from the original is that this time the process is tragic, but the result is undoubtedly good!
In front of the media after the game, he also announced without any burden that he would not continue to play in the second round of the playoffs.
"I think I need to rest..."
McGrady chuckled, because he saw worry on the faces of Houston media reporters again.
I don't know if I'm worried about the consequences of his two-shot closure, or what the Rockets will do without him in the second round.
who cares…
Maddie's heart still has only one sentence:
Go to his Houston!
Li Wan also saw the news of the Rockets "Black Seven" the next day.
Not surprisingly, when McGrady decided to play closed, in fact, there was no suspense between the Rockets and the Hornets.
Playing the Rockets must make Yao Ming uncomfortable, otherwise it will be really difficult to suppress them.
The Hornets simply can't do that.
Now his only doubt is that the original McGrady was closed with 6 shots, and he exchanged his entire career for a tragic performance. The 08-09 season still averaged 15 points in 35 games.
Only 2 stitches this time...
Will it be better?
This Li Wan didn't know, anyway, he knew that Ding Yanyuhang had a shot and closed his entire career.
So there seems to be no difference between two needles and six needles.
With the promotion of the Rockets, the first round of the eight groups of the 2007-08 playoffs had a complete result.
The second round of the Western Conference playoffs is the "Texas Civil War" in which the Lakers play the Jazz and the Rockets play the Spurs.
The Eastern Conference semifinalists were the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons.
Among them, the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons will start the first game of the series tonight at the home of the Detroit Pistons.
The Magic have been adjusting for two days in Detroit.
Um…
At the same time, it also played a mouth gun for two days.
The smell of gunpowder permeated Detroit.
From the perspective of public opinion, the outside world is more optimistic about Detroit.
Rasheed Wallace had all kinds of disdain for Li Wan and the Magic, but he was right about one sentence. When the Pistons played in the finals, many players from the Magic had not yet entered the league.
Their worst record in years to come was also the Eastern Conference finals.
Their background and experience are not comparable to Li Wan and the Magic.
And the playoffs...
Isn't it just about heritage and experience?
"Damn it, wait to be beaten and cry!"
"You'll soon learn what a stupid thing it is to provoke Detroit, **!"
"**Clown, you suck!"
…
Obviously, Li Wan and Rasheed Wallace's talk made Detroit people hate him. When Li Wan walked out of the visiting team's tunnel with the Magic teammates, the Pistons fans did not attack Howard. He didn't attack Turkoglu either, all the boos and swear words were directed at Li Wanlai.
Li Wan waved at them: "Thank you, thank you, I rarely feel like a star."
After he finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up to the person who booed him the most.
"You can be more excited!"
His shout should have been heard by the fan. He immediately suppressed the restlessness in his heart, leaned forward with his whole body, and raised his **** at Li Wan excitedly. However, he leaned too far out, plus A bunch of Pistons fans behind him were excited too.
After a shoving and shaking, he fell directly from the fan stand.
The one facing the ground...
The exclamation was drowned out by the endless boos.
Pistons fans minus 1.
"So, don't get excited as a person." Li Wan took advantage of this to tell Bogans a reason for being a person.
Bogans nodded blankly.
The mentality of this newcomer shocked him, an honest man.
It also gave him a new understanding of the word "fearless"...
Detroit people love this team, a lot more than Li Wan thought.
The current boos, he thought it was the limit,
Really big!
I can't stand it anymore!
But I didn't expect that when Rasheed Wallace came on the court, with his provocative actions, these guys booed Li Wan even more.
Rasheed Wallace walked to the center of the venue with a ferocious expression and waved to Li Wan. - He saw that in the previous game against Toronto Menglong, Li Wan always challenged Chris Bosh like this before the game.
He deliberately imitated, trying to provoke Li Wan's anger.
Li Wan almost laughed when he saw him beckoning.
This also came to help me open the badge.
Although he couldn't say it, Li Wan still expressed his gratitude to Rasheed Wallace in his heart.
"Rookie, don't be afraid, this is just a welcome gift!" Wallace gestured to the boos from the sidelines, "You'll know soon, as a rookie, you are too arrogant!"
Li Wan's mouth crooked: "Is Milicic's attitude good? I think he should be doing well now..."
The name "Milisic" made Wallace's chest gag.
When Larry Brown PUA Milicic, he watched from the sidelines and pretended not to see it.
"in addition…"
Li Wan's words continued.
"I also prepared a welcome gift for you, just wait!"
After that, he smiled provocatively again, and turned back to the Magic team's bench.
Pistons fans in front of the bench immediately booed him.
They didn't know what Wallace said to Li Wan. But looking at Wallace's ugly expression and the calmness on Li Wan's face when he returned to the bench, they also knew that this "conversation" ended in Wallace's failure again.
Wallace looked at Li Wan's figure walking to the bench, his teeth were about to shatter.
"OK, guys, after adjusting for so long, the day has finally come. I've been listening to the boos for half an hour. I'll go up later. I hope you can stop the boos immediately."
"I don't like such a noisy away game!"
Stan Van Gundy's tone was full of confidence. He looked at the five people in front of him, his expression as relaxed as possible.
But deep in his eyes, he couldn't help but be dignified.
After all, this is a veteran Eastern powerhouse that has reached the Eastern Conference finals for five consecutive years.
Another championship trophy in hand.
It is definitely not comparable to the "little three" of the Menglong team.
What he said was harsh, but in fact it was more that he hoped that such a thing would happen.
If the Magic start out with an advantage, this game will be a lot easier.
Once at a disadvantage, I am afraid that the "dead memory" will immediately attack the players of the Magic team.
The good news is that the upcoming Magic are in good shape.
Needless to say, Li Wan...
Stan Van Gundy hasn't seen him nervous since he came to Orlando.
The other players have more energy on their faces!
The hatred that was swept away last year should be repaid this year!
The big screen on the scene gave the starting lineups on both sides at this time:
Pistons: Billups at No. 1, Richard Hamilton at No. 2, Tayshaun Prince at No. 3, Antonio McDyess at No. 4, Rasheed Wallace at No. 5 ;
Magic: Li Wan at No. 1, Bogans at No. 2, Turkoglu at No. 3, Lewis at No. 4, Howard at No. 5;
"There are no changes on both sides tonight, and it is still the usual lineup this season."
In the -5 studio, Yu Jia saw that the players still had some time to play, so he asked Director Zhang, who had not seen him for a long time, "Director Zhang, what do you think the Magic need to do if they want to win tonight?"
Instructor Zhang gave a familiar "ah" first, and then showed his teeth and claws: "I think the Magic team should do a good job of defense tonight, and then play their own offense well, ah, as long as the Magic team can defend the opponent and score by themselves, then I'll be able to win this game very smoothly..."
"Well, Director Zhang is right!"
Sun Zhengping nodded in agreement and showed an expression of sudden realization.
Oh, so it is!
As expected of Zhang's guide.
Yu Jia didn't interrupt, and watched the two of them perform as if listening to cross talk.
until the game officially starts.
Howard jumped the ball with Rasheed Wallace on the field.
"Warcraft" successfully jumped the ball.
Sun Zhengping shouted: "Good shot!"
Directly to Zhang Zhizhi who wants to say something can't be done.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt, and Rasheed Wallace made a provocation and asked him to shoot: "Come on, break through, rookie, aren't you very good at dunking?"
"Put one on my head!"
Li Wan glanced at him and gave the ball to Turkoglu, who was on the flank to catch it. Then I heard Rasheed Wallace sneer clearly.
Turkoglu pushed hard from the flanks and faced "The Little Prince" Prince. The "bulldozer" breakout arguably happens to be Prince's least defensive offense.
Last year, when LeBron James rampaged on the flank and Li Wan mocked, the Wallace who blamed him was actually Prince. I couldn't hold the first shot, and when LeBron rushed up, Rasheed Wallace really had nothing to do.
He's not a rim protector at the level of Tim Duncan and Howard and Kevin Garnett after all.
However, if he can't stand LeBron, there is still no problem with the "Little LeBron" of Tekoglu.
Turkoglu reluctantly threw the ball back, Bogans took the ball,
It was an open spot, but he hesitated and didn't vote.
Missed shot.
He can only continue to move the ball.
In the end, Lewis missed the shot.
Rasheed - Wallace mixed with Howard, McDyess successfully protected the ball.
The cooperation of these two people complements each other.
In terms of tacit understanding and adaptability, it is no worse than Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace.
The only weakness is that the defensive range of these two is really not as broad as that of Daben.
In addition, McDyess is also old, 32 years old, and has declined for two years from his peak. The ability to protect rebounds is a bit underwhelming once he encounters top insiders.
Therefore, once this time, the Pistons coach Saunders will put Rasheed out to deal with the more powerful inside.
This time, Wallace played at No. 5.
He also really pushed Howard hard and successfully prevented him from getting the rebound.
The Pistons counterattacked. Billups took the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Li Wan, he chose to cross the three-point line with Hamilton, and by the way came a "hand-off" pass.
"Mask Man" catches the ball and shoots.
When Li Wanbu came to him, he had already shot.
The ball was caught.
3-0!
Li Wan watched Hamilton give Billups a high five.
These two people, one was the No. 2 position given up by Michael Jordan, and the other was a former "parallel pick", but after coming to the Pistons, they both got a new life.
Hamilton became the "CIC King".
Billups even became the "finals MVP"!
When Bogans returned to the defense, he was scolded by Stan Van Gundy.
Even though this is the first round, "Coach Anxi" wants to play an advantage in the beginning. What is Bogans doing with this sudden stage fright?
The ball is handed to Turkoglu from Li Wan's hand.
In the first round, the Magic didn't get in, but the vacancy came out.
There is no problem with the tactics, but if the execution is more determined, it should be fine?
? problem.
Turkoglu also thought so, and rushed much more firmly than the first time.
The ball is the same as before, the chance came from Bogans, but unfortunately the shot didn't go in.
Wallace repeated his old tricks to help McDyess protect the lower rebound.
It's the Pistons' offensive round again, considering the "hand-off" speed on the opposing backline is too fast. Li Wan agreed with Bogans early on that if the opponent crosses again, he will resolutely switch defenses.
Therefore, Billups passed the ball to Hamilton this time, and Li Wan rushed up immediately.
Hamilton's shot softened, and the ball bounced out of the box.
McDyess faced Lewis on the inside, took the offensive rebound calmly, shot a close-range shot, and scored the ball in the second offense.
Shooting is pretty much McDyess' only offense.
He's not like the other "black and hard" who prefer hand-to-hand combat, he prefers a gentleman's shot to settle the fight.
Li Wan gave the ball to Turkoglu again, and at the same time strengthened his movement.
Judging from the current situation, the opponent is obviously shorting the idea of Bogans from the beginning. After two rounds, they were even firmer on this style of play.
Li Wan must use the movement to mobilize the entire defense of the Pistons more, to ensure that the entire defense of the Pistons can not focus on Turkoglu.
Lewis ran back spiritually and took the ball from the outside. He was originally shooting, but suddenly he saw Howard's open space. He was about to pass the ball, but the gap was topped by Rasheed Wallace.
In desperation, he could only transfer the ball, and Bogans returned the ball to Li Wan.
Attack time and 10 seconds.
Li Wan clearly felt that the entire team was a little abnormal.
Whether it is Bogans or Lewis, they are too stable and want to find a more secure way to score.
This is actually a retreat.
Although they said that they wanted to defeat the Magic team and complete their revenge, last year's fiasco was clearly still engraved in the memory of these guys.
Including Howard...
Normally he would let McDyess shoot that one?
Morning rushed up and slapped the ball and fan flew.
It was because he was worried about Rasheed Wallace behind him that he did not dare to make up defenses.
In fact, McDyess's passing ability, "passing inside", can he pass it?
I don't have that ability, you know!
His more prominent point is mainly that he can help the team open up space and grab the board.
In fact, he is a good fit for Dayao.
The whole team becomes cautious because they want to win...
Li Wan knew that it was useless to restrain him no matter what.
It's time to play the role of his "sharp knife row".
Lewis' counter-run pulled out the shooting space. Although he didn't make a shot, it also shifted the entire center of gravity of the Pistons. Li Wan's receiving position was on the other side, and there was only one Billups in front of him.
After taking the ball, Li Wan did not stop, a "Li Meng-style" breakthrough with the ball.
Billups was thrown behind him as soon as he made physical contact.
Although the "MVP of the 2004 Finals" knew that Li Wan's current breakthrough was fierce, but after all, it was the first contact and there was no clear concept.
When Li Wan rushed in with a "bomb" next to him with a big stride, it was too late if he tried to exert his strength.
Rasheed Wallace just stopped Lewis from passing the ball in order to fill the position, and he was out of position. When Li Wan rushed in, he just returned to his position, which is in front of Li Wan.
Definitely can't go.
Rasheed Wallace could only reach out to destroy, but Li Wan's explosiveness really surprised him. When he reached out, Li Wanzao jumped up and smashed the ball towards the basket.
He had to wreak havoc.
"Bah!"
The dunk sounded above his head.
There were also exclamations from the scene.
"All!"
and the referee's whistle.
"Pistons No. 36 defensive foul, Magic No. 23 free throws twice!"
Yes…
Two free throws!
Rasheed-Wallace made a force to destroy, causing Li Wan's ball to smash out of the frame.
Knocked off...
But even so, Wallace was frightened enough.
"Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong!"
Amidst the boos, he could clearly hear his heart beating wildly.
At the same time, the palms are sweaty and the soles of the feet are weak.
He could see it clearly, but it was just a little bit short. If Li Wan jumped a little higher and his core strength was better, he would definitely get a dunk on top of his head!
This Chinese rookie...
Wallace swallowed hard.
"How about this meeting ceremony? Don't be nervous, I just scare you, but maybe next time..."
Li Wan passed by him, dropped the sentence coldly, and gave him a meaningful glance at the same time.
He was actually a little regretful.
This goal could have been dunked, if he was given a little more time to tap the potential of his body a little more.
Now he has no problem with dunking Chris Bosh and Bargnani without confrontation.
But against Rasheed Wallace, it is indeed a little difficult to complete the separation.
If this deduction failed, Rasheed Wallace must have taken precautions next, and it is estimated that there is no drama for the time being...
However, this button obviously frightened Wallace. Li Wan was so provocative, in exchange for his still a bit confused expression.
But it didn't work out...
Li Wan sighed inwardly.
In the face of boos and interference from the audience, he executed two free throws and made a steady hit. Li Wan turned his head to look at Howard and the others.
"Guys, the Hawks can push the Celtics to Game 7, are we worse than them?"
"Or, are the Pistons better than the Celtics?"
!
!
After two questions, the expressions of these people changed.
They must be better than the Eagles!
And the Pistons are definitely not as good as the Celtics!
Since the Eagles can push the Celtics to a "tiebreaker" and almost "black eight", then it's not very difficult for us to kill the Pistons, right?
them…
Got it!
The Pistons' offense, I don't know if it was Li Wan's breakthrough just now, Billups chose singles this time.
It's just that Li Wan followed very well and couldn't find a chance to shoot. He hoisted the ball behind Li Wan to Rasheed Wallace who was at the basket.
In the face of Howard's defense, Wallace calmly used his "straight-arm shot", but his entire state obviously hadn't recovered from being almost dunked just now. The ball flew out of his hand and a basket came directly. "Crossing the Bridge" on the Basket!
Director Zhang pointed and said, "This is because Li Wankou was stunned, and I don't know how to fight..."
Sun Zhengping: "That's right!"
The two just watched Li Wan separated the buckle, and they screamed and screamed. When they found that the buckle was flying, they sighed and sighed.
Howard turned to chase the ball, but was stunned to protect the rebound before McDyess.
His historic agility, explosiveness and jumping ability are on full display in this moment.
See this iconic way to grab the board.
Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines nodded slightly, he knew Howard was back!
But his expression remained serious.
In the frontcourt, Li Wan once again gave the ball to Turkoglu, pushed it forward, and separated it. Bogans took the ball for the third time, and his expression was much more determined than before.
"Shh!"
The 3-pointer goes through the rim.
5 to 5!
The expression on Stan Van Gundy's face finally softened~www.mtlnovel.com~ When the ball reached Li Wan, he almost called a timeout.
The Magic team's timid appearance made him want to roar.
Unexpectedly, Li Wan stood up at this time and made a foul with a breakthrough dunk, which directly eliminated all the concerns of these guys.
This is the No. 1 "Sharp Knife Row" he imagined.
Think back to when Nelson Jr. was just traded, he still felt a little bit dissatisfied with Otis' approach.
He really likes little Nelson.
Of course, now, he still likes little Nelson very much.
but…
He had to admit that his situation was small at the time!
The Magic Team, which is still in the process of transformation, really needs a sharper "knife" from Li Wan!
