Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife: Chapter 139 Pre-match rhetoric
Falling in love with youkanshu.com, basketball: starting from the nerve knife
October 26.
108 to 94, the Nuggets took away the victory at the Magic's home court.
This is their sixth preseason win, and yes, the Nuggets haven't lost in the entire 2008-09 preseason.
After the game, Carmelo Anthony, who scored 32 points in this game, was very confident in the face of the camera: "I have seen a lot of reports, so I know that we are underestimated. In the championship discussion list, I I believe, the name of the Nuggets will appear soon..."
The reporters were stunned when they saw Anthony's serious expression.
Is this really that carmelo Anthony who has a lot of trouble off the court, thinks about local clubs all day, and learns to dress from behind Allen Iverson's ass?
how now...
Does it look like that?
Could it be that the melon is "ripe"?
Watching Carmelo Anthony walk out of the press conference, many reporters were thinking of a "ripe" report.
"Chancey, is that so?"
Carmelo Anthony, who stepped off the stage, walked up to Chauncey Billups, who was watching from the outside of the room, and asked excitedly.
Billups nodded: "This is a manifestation of daring to take responsibility, but a good leader doesn't just talk about it, but to do it himself, it's not an easy thing to do. , but trust me, I will definitely help you get this done, you really are the best teammate I've ever seen..."
While talking, Billups stretched out his hand and looked at him expectantly. Carmelo Anthony reached out without hesitation and shook hands with him.
Eyes full of fighting spirit.
03 "Golden Generation", Dwyane Wade has "prove" success as early as 2006, and now LeBron James has also become the "No. 23" favored by the league.
Those are two of the top five picks.
Not to mention the not-so-excellent Chris Bosh, who has won a "Coach of the Season" Mitchell.
Only he has nothing.
Except for Milicic, who was out of the water, he was actually the worst among the top five picks in the 03 generation. Carmelo Anthony, who noticed this, suddenly had a sense of urgency.
I can't wait...
He didn't think about another question at all...
He had a lot of fun with Allen Iverson in the first 5 seasons, why is he suddenly so concerned about the gap with his classmates...
Billups breathed a sigh of relief.
It was far easier than he thought to change Carmelo Anthony's mind. Originally, he thought that this guy had lost his goal of struggle. Under the big contract and data, he lost himself.
champion?
Not even a dog!
As it turns out now, Anthony just lacks a mentor like him...
In this way, he can be regarded as a powerful helper...
As the first passive trade player of the "Pistons Five", Billups naturally wants to prove something.
Just like...
Finals MVP has no parallel imports!
Then he will let everyone see why he is the MVP of the 2004 Finals!
On the other hand, after finishing the interview, Li Wan returned to the locker room, stretched out comfortably, and could hear the joints rattling. The 6 preseason games were finally over.
As he expected, the "China trip" was very torturous. It was a 12-hour flight plus jet lag, and we played two games in 3 days. After returning, the jet lag continued. After a day off, we met again tonight. Here comes the game against the Nuggets.
How confused are the Magic's minds?
Let's put it this way, the plane on the night of the 18th arrived in China on the 20th.
Um?
Where did the 19th go?
Come back after the game on the 26th, eh? Why is it still the 26th?
It's all about time and space...
It is also for this reason that in the last game against the Nuggets in the preseason, Stan Van Gundy let the main players warm up on the court, then came down to rest, and fully prepared for the opening game.
The Magic lost tonight's game, and the final record was fixed at 4 wins and 2 losses.
Run-in is the main thing, so Li Wan basically does not play singles with the ball. He may only play four or five times in a game, and most of the points are scored by receiving the ball.
Therefore, in 6 games, averaging 22.3 minutes per game, he can get 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks. Shot 48.2 percent from the field, 42.3 percent from three-point range, and 88.5 percent from the free throw line.
It is only 1 point away from the "180" club!
Too bad it's just preseason...
otherwise…
Well, Stan Van Gundy still squints happily, like a Maitreya.
Li Wan's efficiency is really fragrant!
Even if he drops a little bit in the regular season, he can accept it.
What makes him happy is not just this one thing. Howard's 20 minutes of playing time in the preseason can get a double-double of 15 and 10, and the efficiency is equally amazing.
Orlando's two core players in the new season are really...
So much looking forward to it!
On October 28, the opening game arrived.
Kevin Durant, wearing a green beret, came out of the bus coquettishly...
"Kevin!"
Hearing a fan calling him, he immediately turned his head, looked for the fan, nodded in approval, and extended his long bamboo-like arm to point at the fan. -Boy, you know the ball very well!
In Orlando, I like Kevin Durant.
I have to say, bro, good taste...
He was about to sympathize with the fan, but unexpectedly the fan had another sentence: "Beware of being beaten and crying by Li Wan!"
As soon as these words came out, the fans burst into laughter.
Yes!
I'm thinking too much!
How can Orlando have my Kevin Durant fans?
As long as Kevin Durant is now in the dark room with his phone, he will definitely fight this fan for 300 rounds.
now...
Kevin Durant froze, turned his head and pretended not to hear. Now he has just put down his schoolbag, and he has not yet exposed his own thoughts so quickly.
The one who came out behind him was Westbrook, the "baby turtle" in a Tang suit.
Speaking of which, Agui has always been at the forefront of the fashion circle and is an absolute NBA fashionista.
He and the temperamental Kevin Durant formed the new look of the Thunder in the new season...
Go back to the locker room and quickly change into the jersey.
Thunder version of Kevin Durant officially launched.
There are still quite a few reporters coming to Amway Arena today.
Although the league still arranged the game between the Lakers and the Spurs on this day, and the game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, the first matchup of the new season between the two same students last season, Li Wan and Kevin Durant, Equally interesting.
As a result, Li Wan just defeated the Dream Team in the summer, especially his lore shot, and became the "lone hero" in the hearts of most of Ahmai Rickon's fans. They can't wait to watch Li Wan's game;
Secondly, Li Wan's high efficiency in the preseason has attracted a lot of media attention. Similarly, Kevin Durant's performance in the new season's preseason has also improved significantly, with a shooting percentage of 49.2%. 20 points in 25 minutes per game.
The efficiency, and the speed of scoring...
It's hard not to look forward to the showdown between him and Li Wan in the opening game of the new season.
"I will prove who is the best newcomer in 2007..."
The so-called "the team is poor and the ambition is short, and the horse is thin and hairy". I know that with the strength of the Thunder, the Magic team, which reached the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs last season, and played 7 games with the Celtics, could not play at all. Wen Durant didn't talk about whether he could win, but only said that he and Li Wan would perform better.
A reporter told Li Wan about Kevin Durant.
As soon as Li Wan heard it, he knew that Kevin Durant was still holding on to the matter of losing the "Rookie of the Year", and he was still brooding!
However, he was not surprised by this.
Kevin Durant is such a vulnerable person.
Green can plant a thorn in his heart with a single word, so much so that he has won two finals MVPs, and he still wants to prove his heart to the Nets.
Of course, the end result is to close the loop of the "Green's formula".
Originally, he had no opponents in his rookie season, and successfully won the "Rookie of the Year", a result that satisfied him. But now, with the appearance of Li Wan, he lost the election.
His stubborn personality seems to be exposed to the public eye faster than before.
Anyway, as far as Li Wan knows, the original Kevin Durant will definitely not say such extremely offensive words at this time to show his determination.
Successfully awakened the darkness in Kevin Durant's heart, and Li Wan responded directly to his challenge: "Kevin Durant is undoubtedly strong and talented, without me, he would be in the 2007 class. The strongest newcomer..."
Li Wan had already finished speaking, but in an instant, the kind Auden flashed through his mind.
His words continued: "Of course, he has to use a lot of effort to defeat Greg first."
"But now, they're here to fight for second place..."
Without me, he would be the strongest rookie in 2007...
But now, they are here to fight for second place...
hiss!
This guy has not only improved his skills in a summer, but also trash talk?
However, such a confident Li Wan also made these reporters a little curious, what kind of progress Li Wan has made without seeing him for a summer.
In other words, what kind of progress made Li Wan kill Mengba this summer!
"See you on the field, let's see what happens..."
Kevin Durant is not good at trash talking in front of the camera.
He prefers to shout from behind the screen: key here!
but…
In fact, it is fierce enough now. After two rounds of spraying, Li Wan also frequently made golden sentences, which is enough to make the outside world look forward to this game.
In the afternoon, with the influx of Orlando, the Amway Arena, which had been quiet for a summer, was revived. —Although there are already spectators in the pre-season, how can there be a mere 7,000 or 8,000 people?
The entire arena was like a blast. No matter where you stood in the arena, your ears were filled with noise.
The Thunder had entered the arena at this time and warmed up in advance.
Westbrook looked curiously, is this the NBA road game?
It really is…
Kind of exciting!
Although Agui also experienced "March Crazy" and played in a bigger field.
But those are neutral arenas, so it is impossible to have such neat boos.
Everyone's expressions were extremely aggressive, as if this group of people had to kill them for the team before the game started.
"Snapped!"
He was a little stunned because of these boos, and Kevin Durant slapped him on the shoulder:
"Don't worry about these boos, warm up and let the other side know how good we are!"
Agui nodded, saying that the eldest brother is so handsome, and everything listens to "eldest brother".
Thunder coach Brooks watched the interaction between the two of them on the sidelines. Kevin Durant with Westbrook looked like a big brother with a little brother.
Very pleased.
It's great that the future of the Thunder are so camaraderie.
Soon, it was time for the home team to enter the field.
The constant boos at the scene also turned into deafening cheers at this time.
Westbrook subconsciously covered his ears.
Originally, he thought that the boos just now were loud enough, but he didn't expect that these fans still had strength.
Howard is satisfied with his appearance tonight.
Finale!
There is no doubt that he is still the first core of this team.
He was too happy, he didn't notice at all, when Li Wan appeared, the cheers on the scene were even more full. It's like a cup of water that has been filled with an arc, and it is completely full, reaching the peak!
Orlando fans welcome Howard, but obviously look forward to Li Wan, who has made a big noise in the summer.
Kevin Durant stood on the court with the ball in one hand, and his eyes sharpened when he saw Li Wan play. The "sword" in his hand is also sharper!
With you, I can only fight for second place, right?
Let's see, who is the second child!
The big screen at the scene released the starting list of both sides:
Magic: Li Wan at No. 1, Raja Bell at No. 2, Turkoglu at No. 3, Lewis at No. 4, Howard at No. 5;
Thunder: Thabo Sefoloza at 1, Desmond Mason at 2, Kevin Durant at 3, Jeff Green at 4, Nenad Kos at 5 tich;
Due to the move away from Seattle and the appointment of new coach Brooks, the entire Thunder team has changed a lot.
At the same time, Kevin Durant officially moved to the 3 position.
Jeff Green, the original 3, was moved to the 4.
The five is Nenad Kostic, a restricted free agent they acquired from the Nets this summer.
Looking at Westbrook sitting off the court, Li Wan was a little surprised. How dare this guy come to the NBA, and he still plays from the bench?
But also...
Westbrook, who has not yet entered the factory for "overhaul", has a somewhat ordinary talent at present. He still needs some time to grow and adapt to the rhythm of the league.
During this period of time, the Thunder team is really willing to pay for the training of rookies.
After running with Kevin Durant for one season, and then with Westbrook for another season, Harden may be a little bit miserable later. He has been trained as the sixth man, and he has not sacrificed the team's record for him.
For the first time in team history, it reached the playoffs in the next season.
As far as the new team is concerned, the speed of entering the playoffs is already very fast.
Just look at the Bobcats, they have been building the team for 4 years, and they are still working hard to reach the playoffs for the first time in team history...
Against the background of the peers, the management of the Thunder team is even more excellent!
"All!"
The beeps stimulated the screams of the audience.
Li Wan tugged the elbow pad on his arm and walked over to Kevin Durant, saying hello: "Hey, man, look at my elbow pad today, isn't the color a bit ugly?"
More than a little ugly!
Ugly!
Although he didn't say it, Kevin Durant didn't hesitate at all in his heart.
only…
After complaining, he looked down and saw his jersey inadvertently.
There is a little blue stripe next to the white.
The same color as Li Wan's elbow pads...
Forehead…
Kevin Durant, who found that he had been tricked, looked up again, and Krstic and Howard in the center of the court had already jumped high and started to fight for the ball.
In the end, Howard was the team and won the first attack.
"Everyone, take it easy..."
"It's just the opening game, don't make the game garbage time in one quarter,"
"Let our fans enjoy themselves!"
Li Wan slowly paced from the backcourt to the frontcourt, speaking as irritating as possible.
The key is that his voice is very loud!
The eyes of the five Thunder team members suddenly became more angry.
I can't wait to eat Li Wan alive.
The ball goes to Turkoglu.
The Turks licked their tongues with excitement when they saw the name "Kevin Durant" written on the small forward position on the Thunder's starting roster tonight.
hey hey hey!
I got the ball now, and looking at Kevin Durant's small body that was almost unchanged from his rookie season, he didn't hesitate to use a "meat bomb shock"!
There is almost nothing in the way.
Kevin Durant, in Turkoglu's eyes, is as thin as a membrane, and it breaks with a gentle poke.
Krstic stood on his feet early and stood outside the reasonable collision zone. The benefits of Turkoglu's slow breakthrough were revealed. A "Eurostep" staggered from him, and Lewis looked at Jeff Green, who was about to move. , Seeing that he didn't dare to step forward, a Howard who didn't watch the pass and hit the ground to the basket.
"Bah!"
Howard, "Superman", jumped up vertically and hit the Thunder's basket with an air strike.
The dunk sound came from the horn on the basket, causing a huge shout from the audience.
Magic's first goal of the new season, a powerful dunk from "Warcraft" Howard!
2-0!
"wow!"
Howard smiled and shook his head, just like this at the beginning, it's really comfortable!
One star...
Thunder coach Brooks watched the Magic score a goal so easily and happily, and silently recited the name of this tactic.
Compared with the "one star and four shots" of the Olajuwon Rockets, the Magic's "one star and four shots" does not use the inside line as the axis, but instead uses a small forward to break through to score the ball.
Before the center has the ball, the entire formation is cut to create a single shot at the basket...
Is this the concept of "triangle tactics" added?
"wow!"
The exclamations at the scene interrupted Brooks' thinking, and he looked up at the court, just in time to see the picture of Kevin Durant "man on the left and right" and asking Li Wan to cut the ball.
The exclamation also reached its maximum at this time.
Mason quickly retreated.
As the "Slam Dunk King" of the 2002 All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, physical fitness has always been the capital of Mason's foothold in the league.
only…
So fast!
Mason subconsciously returned to defense while Kevin Durant's entire body was shaking.
At least two or three steps were pulled out.
Mason originally thought that he could set up a defensive posture in advance and wait for Li Wan to get down quickly.
But the current situation is that as soon as he stepped on the three-point line, Li Wan over there rushed in front of him.
Only one step away...
What kind of acceleration is this?
Is it that explosive?
Even if I am 31 years old and my physical fitness has indeed declined, I shouldn't be caught up so easily, right?
The actual situation should not be overthinking.
Mason can feel that if he doesn't reach out and try to intercept...
No chance!
Do not…
There is no chance!
Just as he turned around in a daze, Li Wan leaped past him like a cheetah.
Mason vaguely saw what he looked like when he was young.
Taking a big step inside the free-throw line, Li Wan jumped up directly, gliding and dunking.
Li Wan returned to the defense and smiled at Mason: "Draw a sketch for me, Draymond, you are so close to me, you should see it clearly, right?"
As a well-known player in the league who uses the NBA as a sideline. Mason wants to be a painter more than an NBA player.
So much so that he never practiced football in the off-season, and shut himself up in a small dark room all day to paint.
This is the kind of player who has been in the league for 10 years...
It can be seen how easy it is for talented people to play in the NBA!
Many people really, working hard for an hour, it is better to spend 10 minutes exercising after Mason finishes painting two paintings, and progress faster.
However, Mason is indeed talented enough to paint. He has successfully opened many art exhibitions. Even David Stern bought his paintings and hung them in his office.
In Li Yunlong's words, this **** is a genius!
Mason's reaction was beyond Li Wan's expectations. His eyes lit up and he replied, "Okay!"
I don't mean to take it as trash talk at all.
Li Wan was suddenly speechless.
This is also a true love of painting!
Just like Howard is the true love to save the stray girl.
4-0!
The ball is brought to the front by Thabo Sefolosa.
When Kevin Durant caught the ball this time, he glanced vigilantly and found Laga Bell's position and Li Wan's position.
Only then did he turn his attention to Turkoglu in front of him.
With Kevin Durant being moved to the 3, he's still scoring more on catch-and-shoot. The ability to hold the ball is also under further development.
This has a lot to do with Mason's degeneration.
A guy who draws all day in the offseason, how good can you expect him to be on the ball?
In this way, Kevin Durant not only has to undertake the Thunder's perimeter shooting task, but also undertake the Thunder's perimeter breakthrough task...
But under such circumstances, Du Xiaoshuai was stunned in the second season of his career, averaging a high shooting rate of 47.4% per game.
You know, LeBron James, the "chosen son" known for his efficiency, has this hit rate in the second season of his career.
But most of LeBron's shots, 70 percent, or even 80 percent, end at the basket.
Kevin Durant is the end of all kinds of shots...
It can also be seen from this that Kevin Durant is a "humanoid weapon".
Also, without this ability, it is impossible to win the "scoring champion" for 3 consecutive seasons, a total of 4 "scoring champions".
Also noticed the change in his scoring method, this game Stan Van Gundy arranged "absolute double team".
It means that when Kevin Durant singles against Turkoglu with the ball, the perimeter player closest to him must help with the defense.
In the round just now, Laga Bell and Li Wan formed a horn, and forced them at the same time. When Kevin Durant reacted and hesitated to go left or right, Li Wan had already taken the ball out of his hand. Poke off.
If it wasn't for the fright in the round just now, he wouldn't have been able to find Li Wan and Laga Bell's position immediately after halftime.
One thing is for sure.
Let Kevin Durant and Turkoglu go one-on-one, and there is only one result. Whoever has the ball, the other party can't help him.
Turkoglu's tonnage is unstoppable by Kevin Durant, but in the same way, Kevin Durant's substantial change of direction is also unstoppable by Turkoglu.
id=wzsy>
That is, the current Kevin Durant has not fully developed his ability to hold the ball. Otherwise, the consequence of Turkoglu's defensive ability and serious defense is that Durant has an extra "bare foot terminator". No.
as it is now...
Still a big change.
One of the things about Kevin Durant's abnormality is that his big change of direction is not used to break through at all. Under normal circumstances, he prefers to connect lateral moves to further widen the distance between him and the matchup.
Seriously, given his height, with a big change of direction and a lateral step, who can keep up?
It is also outrageous. A guy with a height of 2.11 meters has such good physical coordination.
This is Xiaoshuai's most terrifying talent.
At 2.11 meters tall, he plays like a defender...
Who is not in the wrong place!
But he is also very accurate!
Of course, this is talking about "complete body", Kevin Durant in the black robe of death.
Durant isn't holding the ball to that extent right now.
and…
It's self-defeating...
Kevin Durant made such a big lateral step, which greatly reduced the distance from Li Wan on the other side.
With an explosive power of 82 points, Li Wan can exert his strength at any time.
Like this round...
When Kevin Durant jumped up, Li Wan on the side came over.
Playing against Kevin Durant, who is dislocated by everyone, facing Li Wan's 2.19 meters long arm interference, he really can't suppress his height and wingspan.
"Bang" sounded.
It seems to be the restraint of fate.
Kevin Durant's first shot this season, facing Li Wan's long arm, shot out of the frame.
"This is your life, Kevin..."
While speaking, Li Wan quickly rushed towards the Thunder team.
Kevin Durant turned his head and saw Howard quickly giving the ball to Turkoglu, who made a long-range pass to the ground, as if he was adrift, and the ball slid quickly to Li Wan.
Of course, this is if it's a waste of water.
Turkoglu's technology is a bit too bad.
Because the ball bounces too high...
But this, if it's a pass...
That would be so beautiful.
The height of the bounce, Li Wan does not need to slow down, he can hold it in his hand with a hook.
Durant rushed to the horse.
The distance between the two is a bit far.
Kevin Durant was thinking about outflanking and getting into position in advance.
but…
Li Wan's explosive power and speed are not the same as before, so that he is not behind Kevin Durant at all.
Seeing the basket getting closer, the "spark" in Thor's eyes became more and more vigorous.
This is my life, right?
Then I Kevin Durant will now be the best!
He wants to give Li Wan a big pegboard hat!
Yes, it must be possible!
But at this moment, Li Wan suddenly raised his hand...
I knew you had to start early!
Kevin Durant reacted almost immediately.
What is the best way to "play big" at the basket?
Isn't it time difference!
Durant jumped up and snorted.
Sure enough, it's really a game on the offensive end, where is this kid...
Eh?
Jumping Kevin Durant suddenly found one thing, that is...
The ball doesn't seem to be heading towards the basket at all, does it?
Isn't this directly hitting the board?
Then bounce back...
Again…
Self-inflicted deduction?
When Kevin Durant had this idea in his mind, he had already landed, and the lights in the arena dimmed, causing him to look up unconsciously, and what he saw was the Magic's No. 23 jersey.
A handsome two-handed dunk!
Kevin Durant's head was like a thunder blast.
He was so dumbfounded that he looked at Li Wan, who was hanging from the frame, and gave him a bright smile: "Be harder on defense, Kevin, let's win tonight's top five goals!"
Stan Van Gundy looked at Ewing next to him, with a smile on every piece of flesh on his face: "Li's physical fitness has improved a lot..."
At such a fast speed, Li Wan's self-throw and self-dunk is actually very difficult, because the ball flies out with inertia, and the rebound speed will be faster, but if the physical fitness is not so good, it is easy to jump late.
It can be said that with just this shot, it can be seen that Li Wan's physical fitness has already entered the first line of the league...
Going up, that's Howard-level...
Li Wancai is 20 years old, and his physical fitness is definitely likely to increase further.
That is to say...
What is the experience of having two "Warcraft" in one team, Stan Van Gundy will take you to experience it.
The fans at the scene also looked at it.
Li Wan's "self-throw and self-deduction" Kevin Durant did not expect, nor did they expect it.
When they saw that Kevin Durant jumped up and down like a fool, and then Li Wan dunked on his head, their brains "hum".
They didn't know what to do except scream.
As for Westbrook, who was still encouraged before the game, looking at his "big brother" at this moment, he grinned a little embarrassedly.
This "big brother" seems unreliable!
6-0!
The atmosphere in the auditorium, which was like a dance party, obviously put a lot of pressure on the Thunder.
The key Kevin Durant's expression is also a little dull.
Brooks quickly called a timeout...
He is very clear...
This is stunned!
If he doesn't call a timeout and wake up Kevin Durant and the rest of the Thunder, the game will never be played.
In addition, he immediately shouted to the bench, "Russell, wait for you!"
Although this is a rookie, his ability to hold the ball and break through is much better than Sapo Sefoloza. Letting him play is also to relieve Kevin Durant's ball-handling pressure.
He also didn't think clearly about this game. Kevin Durant's strong desire to fight before the game made him feel that he should give this kid more opportunities to perform with the ball.
But now it seems that he has the ball, but not much.
Especially against the Magic's defense...
It was only two rounds, and Brooks could see it. The Magic's No. 3 position looked like a loophole, but the speed of the other two on the perimeter was really...
One word soon, I only say it once!
Kevin Durant passing Turkoglu is useless.
Because this is "Iron Lock Hengjiang".
Why don't you try two more?
A bold idea came to mind, and Brooks felt he could try it.
Of course, Kevin Durant is already a little confused, and it is not suitable to use it now to test the evolution of the offensive end. He looked at Westbrook, who was eager to try after hearing that he could play:
"Russell, it's over to you..."
Probably "you are the best", "the last hope of the whole village" and other words, Brooks is also the first time to be a coach, inexperienced, not very good at fooling.
Fortunately, Westbrook is also just entering the league and is easy to get on.
Brooks's words sounded a little fake, but they filled him with energy!
Are young people these days so foolish?
Brooks didn't know if he was too foolish or Westbrook was too foolish.
In short, after Westbrook got the ball on the court, his self-confidence and radiance made Brooks look sideways slightly.
Is this the vigor of young people?
Actually, there is another reason...
"Big Brother" doesn't work...
Then I'll do it myself!
Li Wan watched the future "God Turtle" play, glanced at the time, it was less than 2 minutes, Westbrook should be very grateful to me, right?
After all, if it wasn't for him, how could the Thunder make a substitution so quickly?
But soon, Li Wan discovered that this kid not only didn't thank him, but also meant "kindness and vengeance". He glanced at the side with the ball, pretending to give it to Kevin Durant, but it was a sudden acceleration, and he broke through.
Westbrook is definitely a straight man, with a strong sense of strength, not only Li Wan is familiar with the later Westbrook, not only because of his appearance, but because of...
His breakthroughs are always straight!
I really don't take any corners, just like a stupefied young man who just came out of the society...
Can this hit a wall?
Teacher Li Wan decided to give him a good lesson today.
Quickly traverse the card position, the current Westbrook really does not have such a strong impact, even if Li Wan just believed his eyes, it took a half a beat, but a quick back, coupled with the traverse, is still very fast blocked his next move.
Westbrook was forced to stop and the ball changed from left hand to right hand.
Suddenly appearing on his right, Westbrook was startled, he quickly grabbed it with both hands, and passed it out. It was a young man. This passing action was too big. It would be difficult for Li Wan to not predict success. !
Fast break!
The two people who rushed in the front this time were Raja Bell and Li Wan.
Undoubtedly a fast break opportunity.
Li Wan passed the ball to Laga Bell when he was about to reach the basket, but the latter paused and watched him rush towards the basket and gave a high toss.
Introduce new teammates!
Is "Location" broken?
"Bah!"
The cooperation between the Magic team's backcourt, "bombing the frame", and at the same time blowing up the scene!
Brooks finally couldn't help it and covered his head.
8-0…
The four goals scored by the opposite side were all dunks!
It's not the worst.
The worst part is...
The Thunder haven't played a decent offense so far.
Westbrook and Kevin Durant, who just had the ability to handle the ball, are also suffering. At the beginning of the new season, they encountered Raja Bell and Li Wan.
The backcourt combination of the other 29 teams in the league, there are really few teams in the backcourt defense that can be better than them...
It's not about paying tuition anymore.
This Nima is the "school bully" who pulls to the woods behind the school for military training after school!
How do you let Westbrook know this first year that it's not every night that he encounters such a terrifying backcourt combination?
Brooks Online and more…
Very urgent!
At the end of the first quarter, the Magic led 34-20.
When Westbrook came off the court, he kept thinking: "If I rush faster, I should be able to stop it, and if I rush faster, I will definitely not be able to stop me!"
Look, what have you forced the child into?
He wanted to accuse Li Wan, you you you, didn't you just come from this stage?
oh no...
Brooks reacted suddenly.
Li Wan, who was in the second grade, was bullying the first grade, but when he was in the first grade, he was bullying the seniors there!
He hadn't been through this time.
So it's impossible to empathize, right?
If he asks Li Wan, Li Wan will definitely shake his head, which is not the case, it still feels a little bit, after all, there were indeed a few who made him feel the pressure of confrontation last season.
But during the most difficult period, he threw all the things he couldn't solve to Kobe.
His "Pippen" is still very good!
It's all settled for him...
Just don't want to wait for him to grow up like Jordan, otherwise, he will definitely be playing in Los Angeles for a few years.
uh, far away...
so…
A bit of a feeling, but not much!
At the beginning of the second quarter of the two sides, they were all alternate lineups on the bench. The Thunder's biggest substitute was Nick Collison, and the Thunder's first jersey was his.
It's just that his characteristic of "defending the strong and attacking the weak" is the only reason why his jersey can be retired, in Li Wan's opinion...
Just "live" for a long time!
The Thunder team was just established, and he was;
The Thunder entered the finals, and he was;
The "Three Young Masters" of the Thunder team left one by one, and he is still...
The walking "Thunder Team History Book", when the Thunder team urgently needed to do something to ensure player loyalty, he was taken as a model and brought out.
did you see?
You don't need your good performance!
Just need your heart
Then, the next retired jersey is you!
In addition to him, the Thunder bench also has "wandering champion" Joe Smith.
As the biggest victim of the "Yin-Yang Contract", Joe Smith is stunned to be able to change teams to stay in the league for a year, which is really rare. It's a pity that because of the "yin-yang contract", the image and reputation have completely collapsed, and no team is willing to sign a long-term contract with him.
These two people are all on the Thunder's bench.
Nothing to score...
Actually...
The Magic team is similar. Jason Williams' current ability is more suitable for being a "spiritual leader" like Haslem of the Heat.
In addition to him, there is only Arroyo left.
As for the others, they are all functional players, and they are especially useful when paired with the starting lineup at certain times!
That's why ESPN gave Otis an A-.
The depth of the bench is indeed there, but the team still lacks a stable sixth man...
If you can make up for this, then this Magic team is really scary!
Neither side had any offensive ability, and within 2 minutes, the audience was about to be sleepy.
Fortunately, at this time, Stan Van Gundy and Brooks have changed the starting lineup.
After Kevin Durant played this time, he showed his ability to adapt. Instead of making a big change in direction, he took advantage of his long legs to rush directly to the basket. .
pretty!
Brooks looked at Kevin Durant's sudden change, shouted in his heart, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Indeed…
"Snapped!"
Brooks hasn't finished his praise yet, just watch Howard slap Kevin Durant's layup.
As soon as I came back, there was a big movement. This is the starting lineup of the Magic team!
The Orlando people at the scene are not sleepy immediately!
The arena was filled with cheers again.
However, in Li Wan's view, Kevin Durant's round was very good, at least he activated the "second form" of the Magic's defensive formation. At that time, he gave a thumbs up to Kevin Durant, who was returning to defense: "A good shot, although it didn't score..."
Kevin Durant: …
If you don't score, what kind of good goal is that?
Stan Van Gundy watched with pride as Howard fanned Kevin Durant's offense.
This is the current Magic team. There is a layer of "chains across the river" outside, but when the opponent breaks through to the inside line, they will find...
This Nima, there is no road in it at all!
Howard has evolved again. Now, his defense is faster than before, and the quality is still very high!
Do you know what a "steel castle" is?
Stan Van Gundy believes that after the regular season this season, all the media will use the word on the Magic.
At the end of the first half, the Thunder team was completely stunned!
They lost themselves in the Magic's defense, and what's worse, they couldn't defend their opponents. Li Wan scored 12 points in the first half, including 5 dunks, and 2 points were dunks that were destroyed. Free throws.
Tonight, he was completely the "Beast Rough Brother" style of play, plus another "Warcraft" with rough skills, they directly regarded the Thunder's inside line as "Happy Valley".
Playing with the rim in front of the Thunder gang.
In the end, before the third quarter was over, Brooks raised his hand, stopped playing, and surrendered...
He raised the white flag!
No way, look at Westbrook's unlovable appearance...
Brooks felt that if he didn't replace the kid again, Westbrook would announce his retirement on the spot after the game was over.
Kevin Durant didn't look much better either.
Before the game, he held back a lot of energy and wanted to make a big noise in this game.
He believed that he had the ability.
As long as 1v1, the Magic absolutely can not stop him.
result…
He thinks it's right, I don't know...
Because the opposite, not 1v1 with him at all, it's all "gang fight"!
As soon as he got the ball, the eyes of the other four were fixed on him.
He made 6 turnovers tonight!
Four of the mistakes were made by people in singles.
He really did not expect that the dignified "Magic Team" was actually the "Old Sixth Team"!
how?
Is your magic trick to take the ball out of my hand in a hundred old ways?
This team is so shameless!
Wait, when I have stronger teammates, I have to settle this account with you!
Kevin-Xiao Yan-Durant silently made four in his heart.
As a result, Li Wan's slow and leisurely voice came from the side...
"Let's take it easy... This team can't stand the fight, is it okay now? No one has to play!"
Blue veins plus 1.
Blue veins plus 2.
Blue veins add 3, add 4, add five...
Kevin Durant was very angry, but seeing that the Thunder had fallen behind by 25 points, he suddenly said no fxxk.
It's irritating people, but Li Wan is right, they are indeed a little bit unstoppable.
108 to 79, this is the final score of the two teams.
It's just one point away, the difference is 30 points...
Even fans who didn't watch the game, through this point difference, can roughly guess what kind of a crushing game this is.
Orlando is satisfied.
The momentum of the Magic's opening game made them feel that the Magic's future in the new season is promising!
Especially the expectations for Li Wan are a little more!
The style of play has become more difficult, and that's fine...
return…
After the whole game, Li Wan did not play in the fourth quarter, only played 25 minutes and 16 seconds, but scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
If you look at his shooting percentage, it's even more fragrant...
14 shots, 8 hits, a hit rate of 57%!
A perimeter player with such a high hit rate, if it continues, the "nerve knife boy" can completely change his name to "efficiency boy"!
If Li Wan knew about this, he would definitely say: "Actually, it's not that you can't be called an efficiency boy..."
Those "nerve knives" broke out and had the strength of all-stars or even superstars, but they still failed to become all-stars or superstars. In the final analysis, they were "nerve knives" and were not stable enough.

It's safe to say that every All-Star, Superstar or Supergiant transitions from the "Neuroknife" stage.
Anyway, his first signature shoes have come out, and Li Wan has gradually become more and more interested in taking off the hat of "Nerve Knife".
Don't underestimate the impact of a fixed label.
Take McGee as an example. Shaq's "Big Five" made him not very smart, so many teams immediately refused to accept him when they heard that he was coming for a tryout, leaving him without a job for a while.
The same is true of "Neuroknife", which always gives people a feeling of instability.
Which team would be the absolute core to cultivate such a player?
Although Li Wan has done a lot of great things now~www.mtlnovel.com~, in the first season of his career, he can accept this label, and even calls himself a "nerve knife".
But now that he is gradually transitioning to a higher level, this label must be torn off.
A person who can perform stably in ordinary times can burst out with greater energy at critical moments...
That's what all-stars, superstars do!
Other Magic players:
"Howard of Warcraft" almost hit a 100% shooting rate. He made 10 of 11 shots and scored 20 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. In the second half of the game, the Thunder didn't dare to rush to the basket any more. The support was frightened;
Turkoglu scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, a data that fully reflects his characteristics.
Lewis scored 10 points. He should be the only one in the Magic who was "beaten" tonight. He hit 2 of 7 three-pointers.
Jeff Green limited him well.
The Thunder team on the other side started with a collective "amnesia".
Kevin - Durant 22 shots, in exchange for 15 points, 31% hit rate is different from the preseason. In addition, there were 6 turnovers.
But even so, he was the Thunder's highest-scoring player tonight.
Jeff Green came in second with 11 points, most of them after garbage time;
Westbrook, who was originally a substitute, got a lot of time in this accident. As a result, he made 3 of 11 shots, and was "military training" so that he almost lost his mind.
None of the others scored in double figures…
