Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife
Chapter 302: Warm "Big Brother Next Door" Li Wan
After awarding the ring, Li Wan put on the No. 25 Cavaliers jersey again.
The New York fans watched in pain.
Thinking back to Li Wan who just wore No. 25 of the New York Knicks, it was like a dream after a hangover. When I woke up, I only had a splitting headache and one sentence:
Dolan really deserves to be damned!
Speaking of which, the original No. 25 representative player of the Cavaliers was named Mark Price.
Announced his retirement in 1998, and the Cavaliers retired his No. 25 jersey in 1999.
However, after Li Wan decided to join the Cavaliers, Gilbert didn't need to say anything, he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Li Wan is the representative of No. 25 in the entire league, and he is absolutely qualified to wear the number 25 of any team in this league." 25, including the Cavaliers!"
As soon as these words came out, Mark Price's popularity rose several times immediately.
Kenny Smith saw the No. 25 of the Cavaliers on Li Wan's body, and remembered it, saying: "No matter what Li Wan wants to do now, I'm afraid the people of Cleveland will agree!"
They're eager to see Lee leave Cleveland with a championship trophy before the Cavaliers move to Columbus.
Something like continuing to wear the No. 25 jersey cannot even be called a "requirement".
"As far as Li Wan's ability is concerned, it's normal for people in Cleveland to treat him like this. If I were Mark Price, I would do the same thing! Because with Li Wan's ability, I can definitely save this city!"
A hoarse voice sounded.
The person who answered the call was not the usual Barkley, but a "mountain of meat" next to Barkley.
Yes, Barkley is already very fat, but this person sitting next to him is like a "meat mountain".
This person is not someone else...
It was Shaq O'Neal, the former "inside overlord" of this league!
This summer, he signed an agreement with TNT and became a full-time commentator for TNT.
And the combination he joined is the "golden partner" formed by the prestigious Barkley and Kenny Smith.
When the TNT official announced the matter, it directly filled the expectations of the outside world.
Shaq is also eloquent, so they are looking forward to Shaq's performance in this "golden partner".
At this moment, listening to Shaq O'Neal's answer, Barkley instinctively felt a sense of crisis...
This guy... I'm afraid he's not a "Li Chui" right?
No, I can't be compared to him!
He immediately grinned and shouted: "It's not just the city of Cleveland. With Li Wan's ability, all the teams in this league are eager to get such an opportunity!"
Um?
After Barkley finished speaking, Shaq O'Neal's eyes also changed, because Barkley's words made him feel a sense of crisis:
This guy…
Don't be a "Li Chui" right?
No, I can't be compared to him!
Shaq - O'Neal's reason is also very simple.
The fifth championship trophy in his career was won by following Li Wan's ass.
Beating Kobe Bryant on stage in the Finals, it felt like...
Not to mention how cool it was!
Moreover, among the three people in the TNT studio, he and Li Wan were teammates, so the relationship should be the closest, such a close relationship...
If he hadn't praised Li Wan as the most ruthless person, I didn't know, and thought he had a problem with Li Wan!
At the scene, at the referee's whistle, the game officially started.
The Cavaliers' lineup is: Li Wan at No. 1, Dion West at No. 2, Wiggins at No. 3, Chris Bosh at No. 4, and Kwame Brown at No. 5.
In fact, Cody Zeller has certain training value.
At his peak, he averaged 11.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.
But his style of play...
Unlike the traditional white insiders, Cody Zeller has good athletic ability, has certain offensive ability and offensive methods, is good at offensive and defensive transitions, and has excellent defensive ability.
However, his advantage is not obvious in the confrontation under the basket, where white insiders are better at.
Simply put, it is a "poor man's version" of Chris Bosh.
He will, Chris Bosh will, and what Chris Bosh lacks he can't make up for.
For the Cavaliers who are aiming for the championship this season, his training priority is definitely not as good as that of Wiggins...
The lineup for the New York Knicks is: No. 1 Beverly, No. 2 Jr. Smith, No. 3 Paul Pierce, No. 4 Chris Humphries, No. 5 Tyson Chandler ;
It can be seen from the lineup that they are basically the remnants of the New York Knicks from last season.
The current salary of the New York Knicks this season has just exceeded the salary cap, reaching a little over 70 million.
Not even the luxury tax line...
It's not that they don't want to surpass, but...
No player wants to come at all.
First, Li Wan, as the chairman of the players union, has great influence.
The players in the league must stand firmly with Li Wan at this moment, especially the super giants. Whoever goes to the New York Knicks at this time is destined to be alienated by other players in the league.
Secondly, the era that Li Wan left with the New York Knicks was too brilliant.
Unless it is hard to think about it, no matter which star goes to the New York Knicks and becomes the new head star, it will end in four words:
Suffer old crime myself!
As far as the group of New York fans fed by Li Wan is concerned, the "eight consecutive Eastern Conference champions" and "five overall runner-ups" probably don't look up to them.
There is no such thing as "4 consecutive championships", at least there must be "3 championships in 4 years", or "2 championships in 4 years" is the bottom line...
otherwise…
Don't think that because they miss Li Wan so much, it means they have changed their sex!
Do you know what is "preference"? ?
If after taking over the New York Knicks, you can't win a championship in 4 years, these New York fans will definitely return to their appearance four years ago, and all kinds of yin and yang will make you worthless.
It can be seen that the New York Knicks are not a good choice whether it is the pressure of public opinion or performance.
Ghosts will come!
In the end, there was really no way. The new president of New York, Mills, was forced to **** jr-Smith with a contract of 55 million for 4 years, which was much higher than the market price.
It's also the biggest signing the New York Knicks have made this summer...
In the past four years, for the Knicks, signings, which have never been a problem, are now so difficult to start.
"The New York Times" bluntly said on this matter: "The New York Knicks are staring into the abyss!"
ESPN also commented on this phenomenon: "It's hard to believe that this team has just achieved another 'four consecutive championships' achievement after the Celtics."
This was originally the precipitation of the "Dynasty".
result…
Dolan's words destroyed this precipitation.
Li Wan, as the "No. 1 player in the league", is treated like this, which is a terrible thing.
It is also for this reason that the current New York City is devastated just now.
The influence of this matter can only be slowly washed away by time, no one knows how long it will take, and after the influence of this matter is eliminated, will the New York Knicks fall into the abyss again...
It was the New York Knicks who took the initiative.
Beverley took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Paul Pierce on the wing before Li Wan posted it.
"Truth" faced "Xin Ke Zhuang Scholar", after careful observation, he took out the middle-aged uncle's favorite "back single".
Wiggins didn't feel anything at first, but as Paul Pierce stepped up his efforts, he suddenly became a little overwhelmed. There's no way, whether it's high school or college, where has he seen such an "old pervert" who plays like this!
In particular, this league is becoming more and more "small ball", and Paul Pierce's singles footsteps are almost becoming "rare".
The resistance behind him was getting smaller and smaller. Paul Pierce put his hands together and was about to turn over and shoot a jumper, but at the moment he turned around, Li Wan double-teamed him in time and interfered for Wiggins.
"Brother Wolfberry" is excellent in all aspects, but his wingspan is a little short.
But Li Wan is different in this respect...
That length!
Wiggins saw it and called "Big Brother"!
Paul Pierce was "pasted".
With a sound of "Boom", "Truth" turned over and missed a jumper.
Fighting under the basket, Tyson Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound, but was destroyed by Chris Bosh next to him.
Dion Waiters quickly took the ball in his hands and turned his head to make a fast break.
The speed of Wiggins' offensive and defensive transitions is very fast, and Paul Pierce, who has old arms and legs, is left behind in one step.
Li Wan accelerated at the same time, Beverly said that he absolutely did not "let the water go", he really wanted to "bite" Li Wan, but before he could get close to Li Wan, Li Wan had already pulled away from him by three or four bodies .
"This athletic ability..."
In the ESPN commentary booth, Bill Wharton looked at Li Wan and Wiggins who were "going hand in hand".
would love to yell:
This should be the "outside duo" with the most athletic talent in the league.
The cheers at the scene grew louder at this time.
If Li Wan was still in New York City, this ball must have been his dunk.
Now that Li Wan is about to start a show, they...
But you have to shout with all your strength!
but…
No one expected that Li Wan and Wiggins were about to rush to the basket, and Waiters, who was holding the ball, had no intention of passing the ball, and dribbled the ball on his own, heading straight to the basket.
But at this time, the New York Knicks' defense also kept up.
"Bang" sounded.
Under the incomprehensible eyes of everyone, Waiters shot and hit the iron.
Fortunately, Li Wan jumped high in the crowd and succeeded in clasping with both hands, which allowed the cheers to continue and become even louder!
Just while cheering...
In the ESPN commentary booth, Bill Walton and Drexler looked at each other.
no…
Why not pass it on?
Is it possible...
"Should you be nervous?"
In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith explained for Dion Waiters.
Otherwise, he didn't know why Dion Waiters didn't pass the ball to Li Wan.
Anyway, if he was killed, he didn't think that Dion Waiters deliberately didn't pass the ball to Li Wan and wanted to attack by himself.
Wake up!
Standing in front of you is a 5-time championship winner, 5-time Finals MVP winner, 3-time regular season MVP winner, 2-time season best defensive player award winner, the greatest active player in the league, and the officially certified goat of the 10s , "Living Legend" Li Wan!
Could there be a player who deliberately didn't pass the ball to him?
Doesn't that mean he didn't die fast enough?
so…
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
But, Rao Kenny Smith desperately denied himself. When he saw that Dion Waiters would attack by himself as long as he got the ball in the next time, completely ignoring the operations of his teammates, he felt...
It must be because I didn't wake up!
Or maybe after getting up this morning, I woke up in the wrong way!
Otherwise, how could such outrageous things happen in this world?
"This guy..." O'Neill couldn't help complaining, "Don't you think Li Wan is here to assist him?"
This sounds off the charts.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible, after all, this is also a fine tradition of the Cavaliers.
Wasn't Ricky Davis that year?
Ignoring Nike's overwhelming advertisements for the "little emperor", let LeBron carry the bag and shoes, let LeBron carry the bag and shoes; Without hesitation.
Was that the ball he dunked?
What was deducted was his own "life" in the Cavaliers!
It's like Dion Waiters at the moment, don't look at the shots one by one, the shots are very happy, is this shot a ball?
Isn't this shot definitely not the number of days he has been in the Cavaliers this day?
As he throws more balls, he keeps risking... -1, -1, -1 days with the Cavaliers!
The New York fans at the scene couldn't stand it anymore and booed him wildly.
And they are ready, when the game is over, they must greet the fans of the Cavaliers and the management of the Cavaliers:
What the **** is going on with you?
Is this how we treat our treasure?
That's what you did to trick our treasure into Cleveland?
Is there any reason!
Is there still Wang Fa!
But their booing, falling into Waiters' ears, directly stimulated his adrenaline.
Listening to these boos, Waiters had one thought in his mind:
I got booed?
I got booed?
I got booed by big name New York fans?
Dion Waiters has heard it a long time ago. The most important thing that New York fans pay attention to visiting team players is booing. If you can make New York fans boo instead of cheering, then congratulations, you have successfully conquered New York Fans, walked into their hearts.
Hi…
I thought it was so difficult!
That's it!
Dion Waiters shot more and more vigorously, and finally the game ended. Dion Waiters played 34 minutes and 16 seconds, made 20 crazy shots, scored 8 of them, and shot 40% , scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Looking at the data alone, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
But he caused huge controversy after the game.
Therefore, during the game, he ignored Li Wan's open space many times and forced shots.
And his number of shots is also higher than Li Wan.
Li Wan only took 17 shots in this game...
Facing questions from the media, Dion Waiters said nonchalantly: "There's nothing to say. I think it's a good shot, so I'll make it. Facts have proved that my approach was not wrong..."
Even if he made such a shot in this game, the Cavaliers still won.
With a score difference of 110 to 101 and 9 points, they successfully won the first game of the new season.
but…
With the strength of the New York Knicks, it's hard for the Cavaliers to lose this game. —You must know that in the team strength ranking list of the major media before the start of the new season, the highest ranking of the New York Knicks is the 27th overall pick in the league, and the lowest ranking is directly at the bottom of the league.
"Bleachers" commented on the New York Knicks in the new season: "The No. 1 pick in 2015 is already waving towards them, and this may be the only way for the New York Knicks to rebuild!"
With the league superstars avoiding the New York Knicks one after another, cultivating new potential stocks has become the most realistic way for the New York Knicks to rise.
The good news is that in the 2015 NBA draft, there are also many "genius rookies" with good talents, such as Towns. In the just-concluded NCAA preseason, he used his talent to prove that he will become a superstar in the "small ball era" NBA.
However, this "genius rookie" directly said in an interview: "If the New York Knicks get the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft, I hope they don't choose me!"
It seems that even this most realistic path is difficult for the current New York Knicks...
Dion Waiters ended the interview with an attitude of "I'm right". The reporters brought his words to Li Wan, and Li Wan suddenly said, "I'm going to be 27 soon!"
His words caught the reporters by surprise.
What does it mean that the donkey's head is not right with the horse's mouth?
Li Wan continued: "There are new blood coming out of this league every year. I have been in this league for 8 years, and there have been some changes. For me, it is not a bad thing. The Cavaliers need to grow, and this is also a part of growth. Let's see what happens next!"
cooked!
cooked!
Li Wan can be regarded as thoroughly familiar with it!
This was the first thought in the reporters' minds after hearing what Li Wan said.
This circle is too big, but it expresses everything I want to express...
Really are…
Hate it!
Li Wan has matured, they are very happy;
They didn't like Li Wan's speech without thorns anymore;
I can no longer use Li Wan's words as a gimmick to provoke trouble!
They actually prefer the rebellious and loud Li Wan, rather than the current "Boss Li" who always pays attention to the atmosphere of the team!
Actually...
It's not that Li Wan wants to "make big things into small things", he is not such a person!
Being provoked by such a young rookie, he still hasn't lost his temper, so don't take his position as the "first man in the league".
However, he was afraid that after he erupted, he would scare Dion Waiters instead. At that time, due to the public opinion and psychological burden of the outside world, he would not be able to play, so Tyronn Lu would not give him such a long playing time. ?
And Li Wan didn't bear it for nothing during the training camp?
This is not allowed!
For Li Wan now, the most important thing is not to rub **** Dion Waiters, a young rookie.
Instead, let him play his worth and get more and better chips for the Cavaliers!
In the end, the reporters were unable to pry any explosive words from Li Wan's mouth. But their minds were spinning quickly, and Li Wan couldn't get any breaking news from the interview.
Wouldn't it be possible to intensify the conflict by conveying his words to Dion Waiters, the "stupid young man"?
How else could it be said that many things were nothing serious at first, but suddenly became "big things" because of the involvement of reporters?
These people can really pick things up!
Facts have proved that Dion Waiters does have some brains, but not much. Upon hearing Li Wan's reply, it meant "making big things into small things", and continued to output face-to-face: "I will stick to my style of play!"
As soon as these words came out, many experts secretly sighed in their hearts:
This is dead!
They are all "thousand-year-old foxes"... It's okay if Li Wan doesn't have a radical attitude, but the Cavaliers' management and coaching staff have allowed Dion Waiters' "lone wolf" behavior, so there is only one answer left:
Wait for him to show his worth.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"That's all for Li Wan. It's shameful to be bullied by a rookie when changing teams. Sure enough, Kevin Durant has more temperament as the core of the team!"
After Kevin Durant found out about this, he went crazy with joy again.
What is "times come and go"!
He really felt that since Li Wan left the New York Knicks this summer, everything went smoothly for him.
Not to mention the skyrocketing personal wind reviews, you can often see Li Wan's "fun things"!
Hey, winning first is not considered winning, and winning later is the real winner in life!
After the trumpet sent the comment, Kevin Durant got excited again.
That night, he scored 39 points in the Thunder's opener against the Toronto Raptors, easily leading the team to their first victory of the new season.
Li Wan woke up the next day and also saw the news that the Thunder had won. But he just took a quick look, and quickly looked down... This is not the news he cares about.
he cares about...
"The Golden State Warriors beat the Utah Jazz by 118 to 100 with 18 points. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson scored 52 points to help the team win the first season. "
found it!
Li Wan clicked on the news page and carefully read the entire game.
The performance of the Utah Jazz in this game is actually not bad.
In the third grade, Lillard and the fully grown Gordon Hayward jointly grabbed 44 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists. Under the leadership of the two of them, the Jazz also played with the Warriors. .
Until 5 minutes and 13 seconds into the third quarter, the new head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr, suddenly dispatched a set of "five small lineups" without a center, and immediately launched a wave of 11-3 offensive waves, which opened the The score difference. The Warriors played more and more, and finally won the opening game beautifully with 18 points.
Many media have noticed Steve Kerr's "five small lineup".
But at the moment, most of the media's evaluations are "weird" and "rare"...
Barkley even said: "This is not a long-lasting lineup. The Jazz lost because they had no defense..."
Um…
Two words stand out:
Toxic milk!
Obviously, at the moment Barkley didn't know what kind of lineup he was seeing. Just like the opening line of "The Wandering Earth":
At first, people thought it was just an ordinary wildfire.
It was not until this "mountain fire" started a prairie fire that people discovered...
This is not ordinary.
It's really unusual...
Because this is what allowed the Warriors to rise successfully. In the future of the original time and space, they played the "Five Deaths" of "3 championships in 4 years".
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Barnes, Iguodala, Green…
The Warriors relied on this lineup to completely usher in the "small ball era" in the NBA.
From then on, all inside players who moved slowly were ruthlessly eliminated by the league!
This is also a historic moment!
I'm coming!
Li Wan was also very excited.
After waiting for so long, he beat LeBron 24-0, and "Cosmic Brave" finally showed up.
This made him more active in training Wiggins.
I also look forward to more amazing performances from Dion Waiters, who has become more and more arrogant in his walking posture.
After reading the news, Li Wan drove off to Quicken Loans Arena, parked his car in the underground parking lot, and happened to see a "perch head" drilled out of the car next to him...
"Hey man, why do you look so slouch?"
Seeing the helplessness on Tyronn Lu's face, Li Wan felt amused, and asked a question with a laugh.
Tyronn Lu waved his hand angrily: "Don't mention it, I was almost killed by that **** Dion!"
That guy was talking nonsense in front of the media, as if he was the future of the Cavaliers. While the fans scolded him, they also came to question Tyronn Lue, why should such a fool be given such a long playing time?
Many fans on the Internet have already called Tyronn Lue to Waiters.
There are even "conspiracy theories" that say: "Actually, Tyronn Lue is unhappy with Li Wan, and Dion Waiters is just a grab in his hand..."
Brother, can your imagination not be so rich!
If you can think so...
Why not become a screenwriter!
At that time, Tyronn Lue responded to that comment with a trumpet.
That comment was quickly sent back to him:
Coincidentally, I am the screenwriter!
This shit!
The pressure is really too much!
Although he had cooperated with Li Wan before, Li Wan's momentum at that time was not at the same level as Li Wan's momentum now.
He thought that even if Dion Waiters grabs the ball, it will attract attention and form public opinion, it will take some time...
For such a long time, he has already let Dion Waiters play the performance Griffin wanted, and then traded him out of the Cavaliers!
At that time, even if public opinion rises, it can be extinguished quickly.
But it turns out...
It's only been one game, and the whole world is already shaking.
He couldn't help but think of Jordan!
Li Wan's influence is really too scary!
Fortunately, he prefers to have a crew cut now. If it was still the "dimples" he had when he was young, he might lose it all in three days...
Li Wan looked at him like this, and patted his shoulder helplessly.
Well, Tyronn Lu can only stay in the position of "Dou E".
In the words of the hot blood fan in the second class, it is...
All for Cleveland!
Li Wan changed his jersey in the locker room, and when he arrived at the training ground, he found that someone was already there. —He came very early. As the core of the team and enjoying the status of the team leader, Li Wan naturally has to lead by example. Let others see that while he is enjoying all the resources, he is also making sweat that ordinary people don't have.
This is a way to convince teammates and balance their hearts.
It's like your classmate studying from 9 to 5 in the morning, with better grades than you in the end, got a school scholarship, and was publicly named and praised by the school, setting a model, you can completely accept it.
It's just that when he arrived at the training ground, he found that Wiggins was already practicing in it.
And it can be seen from his state that he has not just arrived, he has obviously been practicing for a long time.
because of him…
sweating!
Wiggins, who may not sweat after a game, can sweat.
This amount of training...
When Wiggins came this morning, he probably saw Cleveland at 4:30 in the morning.
"Morning, buddy!"
Li Wan was very pleased.
Positive training is a signal that explains Wiggins' attitude at this time:
He wants to be in good shape and play well.
Seeing Li Wan, Wiggins showed his signature smile and greeted Li Wan. But he didn't say much, and re-invested in his own adjustments.
Li Wan practiced for a while, and then said: "Andrew, you can rest for a while, you don't want to disappoint the home fans in this game tonight, do you?"
These words hit the bullseye, Wiggins was about to shoot the ball, but retracted it, and sat down on the bench next to Li Wan's training ground with the ball in his hands. He seemed to be looking at Li Wan, but the calm expression obviously had something on his mind. .
Li Wan was almost done warming up. He glanced at the time and saw that it was time for the team to train. He stopped training and sat next to Wiggins.
Wiggins brought him a bottle of Gatorade, pondered for a while, and decided to reveal his heart to Li Wan. Since he entered the Cavaliers, Li Wan has really taken care of him. When the training camp was closed, I often took him to fight bullfights to help him quickly adapt to the confrontation intensity of the NBA.
From time to time, I would say warm words to him.
In Wiggins' heart, Li Wan is as warm as the big brother next door.
The kind of person he could speak his mind to.
"Lee, I'm a little nervous." Wiggins seemed afraid that what he said was incomplete, and said again, "I'm afraid I won't be able to play the performance that the Cleveland fans expect... You don't know, they are really, too enthusiastic!"
Since the closed training camp until now, he has received four or five boxes of gifts from fans.
This heavy love makes him unconsciously have the same thought in his mind every night before he lays down: until now, he is not number one in the world, Andrew, Andrew, how can you sleep? !
Li Wan looked at him and nodded imperceptibly.
He was tempted to say, no, silly boy, I know exactly how enthusiastic they are.
I even know the lineup to support you in the audience tonight...
This is what I arranged from the beginning to the end!
Wiggins looks like this now, he is very satisfied...
But he had to remind Tai Lun that this support cannot be increased.
The current Wiggins is under pressure from these cheers, enough for him to work hard.
If you add more, then you will be anxious...
When it gets to that point, it's just the opposite.
This is why Li Wan always took the initiative to talk to Wiggins. He has to understand Wiggins' mental state.
"Listen buddy, there is nothing to worry about. Your ability lies here. As long as you work hard, you can hand in an answer that satisfies everyone, including the people of Cleveland!"
Li Wan comforted him, and finally patted him on the back.
The timing of the back slap is also particular. For this reason, Li Wan consulted several experts in psychology. —From here, you can understand how much Li Wan cares about Wiggins!
No way, this is his "Pippen" after all!
He has to get Wiggins into the shape he wants.
As long as Wiggins grows up step by step according to his vision, then...
Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" should be replaced by someone else, right?
Wiggins felt the sense of power coming from his back. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that when Li Wan's hand came up, his restless heart immediately eased a lot.
"Thank you, Lee!"
There was gratitude in Wiggins' eyes.
At the same time, he thought: It’s great to meet such a warm "big brother" like Li Wan in his rookie season!
After appeasing Wiggins, Li Wan saw Dion Waiters stepping into the training hall with unrecognizable steps, the two of them looked at each other, and just a little bit, Dion Waiters blurted out: "Xiao Li, Come pick up the ball for me later, I'll practice shooting!"
that feeling...
It must be very cool!
However, Waiters only dared to think so.
Li Wan did not dare to challenge his authority (Witters' perspective), and likewise, he did not dare to challenge Li Wan's authority too much.
If this guy gets in a hurry, isn't the gain outweighed by the loss?
The current situation is very good. As long as he doesn't care about himself and can let himself let go on the court, Waiters feels good.
Um?
I'm still very satisfied!
Of course, this is only at this stage. When I get the feeling, I'll be an All-Star, and I'll become a super giant in the league. At that time, my ambition will be more than a billion points!
Just wait, Lee...
Wait for me to give up the throne of "League No. 1"!
The presumptuous smile was suppressed by Dion Waiters because...
The head coach is here!
Since the media were saying that Tyronn Lue was actually on his side, he greeted Tyronn Lue friendly.
"Bass"'s face gradually stinks amidst his greetings, and he can't wait to punch this kid directly.
If you are asked to play data, can't you just play data well?
It must be so embarrassing!
It caused Lao Tzu to suffer from this innocent disaster.
"Dion, you run 10 laps around the field first."
The more he thought about it, the more angry he was, Tyronn Lue yelled at Dion Waiters.
Waiters: ? ? ?
"Any comments?" Tyronn Lu showed his tough side.
Waiters really wants to have an attack, but think about what is said on the Internet, and think about it. If he really has an attack, he might anger Tyronn Lue and let this guy be pressed on the bench. , I lost the watermelon"...
"No, no comment!"
Waiters ran laps decisively.
At the end of the afternoon training, Tyronn Lue once again emphasized the tactical arrangement for tonight.
In the second game of the new season, the Cavaliers back at home will face the New Orleans Hornets, where the "No. 1 pick" has been for 12 years.
Originally, this team had nothing to do with Li Wan, but after this summer, everything changed...
They fired the original head coach Williams, and the new coach who took over the team was none other than the "quadruple champion coach" D'Antoni.
The "mustache" who left because of Li Wanming's injustice proved his current market conditions. He resigned on the front foot, and then got a new job on the back foot, becoming Anthony Davis' teacher.
The Hornets management's requirements for him are also very simple, hoping that in his hands, Anthony Davis' scoring ability can be improved. —Anthony Davis's defensive ability is beyond doubt. In the future, he will definitely be one of the best inside defenders in the "small ball era". It is this scoring ability...Last season, he averaged 20.4 points per game, and he needs a knowledgeable head coach Give him "feel the pulse", D'Antoni, as the head coach who has brought out a violent power forward like Stoudemire, is his teacher, which is perfect.
However, this is also the biggest change for the Hornets this summer.
As far as their overall strength is concerned, what kind of results they can achieve this season depends entirely on the performance of Anthony Davis.
And tonight is also the team's new season opener.
Based on the strength of the Cavaliers on paper, it should not be a problem to win the Hornets and achieve two consecutive victories.
The biggest problem is, this paper strength...
Tyronn Lue glanced at Waiters, and secretly sighed: I can't fully play it!
With his glance, Waiters felt it very keenly, and he also understood what Tyronn Lue meant:
Tonight, I will leave it to you!
Okay, coach, I will never let you down!
When his "Love Like Fire" was about to burst through his chest, the time for the Cavaliers' home opener of the new season arrived as scheduled.
40 minutes before the game, Quicken Loans Arena was already full of fans.
It was the most crowded opener since 2010...
No!
It should be said that this is the most crowded home opener since Gilbert owned the Cavaliers.
Not even the LeBron James days can compare to tonight.
Because the voices supporting him come from Cleveland, unlike Akron and Li Wan, the voices supporting him come from the whole of Ohio.
Especially in Columbus, which is only two and a half hours away from Cleveland, Li Wan's "maternal family" couldn't wait to feel the home atmosphere, and they came to Cleveland to cheer for Li Wan.
I heard that the Quicken Loans Arena temporarily added hundreds of seats tonight, and opened the standing ticket area. As a result...
Outside the Quicken Loans Arena, there are still a large number of fans entering the stadium without tickets.
Gilbert also came to the scene tonight, looked at the overcrowded auditorium, and began to rejoice in his choice of summer.
How could such momentum have been seen in the past four years!
Although he doesn't expect the team to make money, but after all, capitalists, who would like to lose money if they can make money?
The Cavaliers have been losing money for so many years, and now they're making money for him, and he's really...
Hi, I feel like my life has reached its peak!
When Wiggins came on the court, he subconsciously looked towards the sidelines, looked at the support posters in all directions, saw the familiar names and familiar faces, and clenched his hands involuntarily.
Tonight, we must play well...
In fact, Wiggins' performance in the first game was not bad, scoring 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. In the case of Dion Waiters' crazy shots, this data is actually not bad.
Of course, it is a bit far from the amazing feeling that a "champion scholar" should have.
The loudest cheers sounded when Li Wan appeared on the stage.
D'Antoni's eyes unconsciously looked towards the player tunnel of the Cavaliers' home team, where a familiar figure walked out of the player tunnel.
Li Wan...
he came!
It's just that Li Wan's body is no longer the familiar orange jersey, but the red and white jersey of the Cavaliers.
It's still the same number 25, but D'Antoni knows that he no longer belongs to him.
But, even so, watching Li Wan enter the arena, his eyes were still a little excited.
Because when he saw Li Wan, he thought of those exciting years.
It was also during this period that he transformed into a "champion coach".
This summer, what he signed was an annual salary of 40 million yuan for four years... This price is definitely a contract that only top coaches can sign in the head coaching business.
Really, thanks to Li Wan!
He took the initiative to greet Li Wan.
Li Wan also greeted him with a smile.
For him, D'Antoni resigned as the head coach of the New York Knicks. For him, it was really a touching thing.
At this time, the scene gave the starting list of both sides:
"For the Cavaliers: Li Wan at No. 1, Dion Waiters at No. 2, Wiggins at No. 3, Chris Bosh at No. 4, Kwame Brown at No. 5;
The Hornets' starting lineup is: Jrue Holiday at No. 1, Eric Gordon at No. 2, Quincy Pondexett at No. 3, Anthony Davis at No. 4, Alec at No. 5 West-Akinsa;”
Zhu Holiday was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 17th overall pick in the first round of 2009. In the fourth grade, he averaged 17.7 points and 8 assists per game, becoming another representative guard in the "2009 Guard Year".
After the rookie contract ended, the Philadelphia 76ers also renewed his contract with him for 4 years and 41 million, but just after the renewal, he suffered an injury, and the 76ers chose to trade him to the Hornets.
Coincidentally, Eric Gordon, the "Rookie of the Lottery" in 2008, was known for his physical fitness when he first entered the league. Later, he went to the Nuggets in a trade, but... Years of injuries kept him going around In the middle of the transfer, he still came to his original team, the Hornets.
This pair of "backcourt stars", plus the 12-year "champion pick" Anthony Davis, who is about to enter the third season of his career, is the signature of the Hornets this season.
It can also be seen from here that the strength of the Hornets is the inside line and the two guard points.
The front line has not been their strong point this season.
Starter Quincy Pondexter is certainly not a star player.
He entered the league with the 26th pick in the first round of 2010, and his current position is a "3D" player.
His strong body and good athletic ability give him the ability to defend the second and third positions. However, he is not a defender with an upward level, especially when he is defending the third position, what stands out is his "steadiness":
Don't ask for meritorious service, but ask for no faults!
Facing this guy, Wiggins has great hopes of playing well.
special…
Behind him, there is Li Wan, the "warm big brother".
On the first ball, Chris Bosh beat Anthony Davis in a jump ball, and the ball went to Li Wan.
D'Antoni, who was so familiar with Li Wan, decisively arranged a double team...
He would rather let Li Wanchuan "die" than let Li Wantou "die"!
Li Wan was aware of this situation and called Chris Bosh's pick-and-roll in advance. Taking advantage of the gap formed by Bosh, he went to the basket with the ball and attracted the Hornets' inside double-team. s.
"Boom!"
Wiggins smashed the buckle with one hand and completed the basket.
2-0!
There was a loud cheer at the scene.
When it was the Hornets' turn to attack, Holiday immediately called Anthony Davis' pick-and-roll, but Li Wan successfully squeezed away "Big Eyebrow Brother" to ensure that he could interfere with Holiday.
Seeing this, Holiday quickly passed the ball through.
Wiggins on the side has been paying attention to this side. After seeing Holiday's pass, he immediately stepped up and successfully intercepted the ball.
Davis bent over to accept the loneliness.
Wiggins took the first step to get the ball in his hands, and the Cavaliers' fast break.
But seeing Li Wan and Wiggins advancing side by side, passing the ball to each other, it was like two gusts of wind blowing across the court, and they were within the three-second zone of the Hornets in a blink of an eye.
The Hornets have someone to return to defense in advance...
Based on defense and positioned as a "3D player", Quincy Pondexett is standing under the basket at this moment.
He proved his enthusiasm.
But he really wanted to not be so positive.
But now, he can only bite the bullet and go on.
Wiggins seemed to be the last one to make a layup. While he jumped up, Pondexett also jumped up, but Wiggins threw the ball into the air. To be precise, it should be above Pondexet's head. The position, then let go.
Pondexett only heard a burst of exclamation, and then felt a shadow appearing above his head.
look up...
It's number 25 for the Cavaliers.
"Boom!"
From top to bottom, Li Wan dunked the ball into the basket and also rode Pondexett under his crotch.
"boom-"
Pondexett felt as if his brain had exploded.
This was not his hallucination. Li Wan's buckle made the Cleveland people Qi Qi shout loudly. These shouts are like explosions.
can't help...
They didn't even realize they were yelling...
Including Gilbert in the box, who was so excited that he stood up straight away.
There is no way, Li Wan's buckle is too explosive!
4-0!
It entered a "climax" at the beginning.
The Cavaliers successfully grasped the initiative.
But at this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Dion Waiters stood up and made 0 of 2 shots decisively, breaking the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm.
The Hornets took this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. Anthony Davis received the ball in the three-second zone, turned his head and put it into the basket, scoring the team's first 2 points tonight.
4-2…
MD!
Looking at Dion Waiters who disrupted the rhythm, Tyronn Lu cursed inwardly:
This coin, really **** it!
day6.
Start speeding up tomorrow.
