Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 257: If you need a time to start, then it’s probably now!

The passionate Kevin Garnett then contributed on the defensive end.

Under Li Wan’s close entanglement, Paul Pierce, who looked embarrassed, finally twisted out of the space, and just about to shoot in the face of the basket, he was slapped by the “wolf king” in the face.

What is the name of “the first sword on the shore, the first to cut the person in the heart”!

After covering Kevin Garnett, he didn’t dare to look at Pierce, pretended not to know, and slipped by.

But if you change someone, you must not beat your chest again, and make a roar!

That’s Pierce, after all, this is the man who let him give up the trade veto and go to the Nets together. Although I am not in the same team now, there will be a little bit of it…

If you can’t blush goodbye, you can only blush~

Bill Wharton “sighed” out: “I have to admit that the New York Knicks’ defensive suppression this season is really terrifying!” ”

In November, the New York Knicks conceded only 88.6 points per game, ranking in the top 4 of the league’s fewest points conceded, and among the 10 teams averaging more than 100 points per game, they conceded the fewest points!

The most significant change in the New York Knicks this season is to improve the suppression of the defensive end while ensuring their firepower.

Like this round, Kevin Garnett suddenly joined the defensive strategy during Li Wan single-handedly defending Paul Pierce, and the New York Knicks have tried and tested this season…

Especially when Li Wan entangles his opponent, this defensive strategy is even more effective.

At the same time, teammates help to supplement defense, which can also make Li Wan’s counterposition appear eager, which greatly increases the probability of his frontal steals, averaging 3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in November, that’s how it came!

As of this game, all the players opposite Li Wan had not shot more than 40% per game!

Including Kobe…

He…… Not alone in the fight!

The strength of the defensive end has also made the New York Knicks the team with the highest defensive counterattack success rate this season.

This game with the Nets, this characteristic is also reflected, the first quarter of the game is not over, the New York Knicks have completed at least four ~ five successful defensive counterattacks.

On this alone, the New York Knicks have scored double-digit scoring.

At the very moment, the New York Knicks also led 20-10.

It’s time for the Nets to step up and stabilize the situation for the team…

Then a familiar scene from Kevin Garnett played out again:

Chris Paul single-handedly pushed the team forward on his shoulders, Paul Pierce spread his hands on the side, and the difference chased it as a “bigger and bigger”.

12 points, 15 points, 17 points…

Looking at the wider and wider point difference, Kevin Garnett, who was still feeling guilty about his good brother at that time, looked at the Nets with chicken feathers, and suddenly his heart was only rejoicing.

Fortunately, the buddy sneaked away, just these two people as teammates, he can’t win the championship even in 2023!

The Nets ended up losing their first “New York derby” in their move to Brooklyn by 86-110, 24 points.

The first time after the game, Kevin Garnett went to find Paul Pierce and wanted to have a parting hug in the parting arena, but Pierce was not in the mood to touch him at all at this time, he now wants to go to the hotel, call a group of dancers, and start a live broadcast to accuse Kevin Garnett of betraying him!

Li Wan scored another 27 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game.

However, not many reporters discussed the game after the game…

Winning was too easy for Paul Pierce and Chris Paul to discuss with him.

More importantly, in the next game, the New York Knicks will face no one else, it is…

Orlando Magic!

With the New York Knicks playing a dominant performance on the defensive end in November, Li Wan himself is also extremely outstanding on the defensive end, and the voice about “Li Wan winning the Defensive Player of the Season Award” is also getting louder!

Howard was naturally unhappy, and after the first “mouth cannon”, he expressed his desire to win back the “Best Defensive Player Award” in front of the camera several times…

Just looking at the current situation…

Li Wan has become more and more active in competing for the “Best Defensive Player Award”!

First, the defensive quality of the New York Knicks this season is definitely one of the best in the league; The second is Li Wan’s personal defense, which is also obviously different from the past few years. – The outside core of almost every game of the New York Knicks this season has been defended by Li Wan, and the effect is remarkable.

Alliance officials have always liked fresh people and things.

Take the All-Star Make-up thing, the same data, the same performance, the 34-year-old veteran, if not at the level of President Hill, basically the league will choose the younger one.

Of course……

In addition to liking fresh people and things, there is also a reason that the exposure of the league is inseparable from controversial gimmicks, such as Harden’s loss to the All-Star in 2023, the degree of discussion of losing the election is definitely higher than the degree of discussion of being selected!

It’s the same now, compared to Howard, who has won the “Best Defensive Player Award” three times, Li Wan, who must have won the “Best Defensive Award” for the first time, is more talkative of others.

In addition, this league has not had an outside player win the “Best Defensive Player Award” for a long time, and Li Wan’s popularity is so high, he is about to win the “triple championship” and become another “god” player after Shaq O’Neal.

Who do you think the league will give this award to?

Naturally, he is the one with a higher degree of topic!

Not to mention, if Li Wan wins the “Defensive Player of the Season Award”, he will step on Howard’s position, which makes Li Wan win this award, full of traffic.

The attitude of the Union does not lie.

On December 3, the New York Knicks hosted the Orlando Magic, and the league temporarily adjusted to “All-American Live”.

Originally, the Knicks had a “national broadcast” with the Magic, but that was when Li Wan returned to the Magic home court in January.

Now because of the dispute over the “Defensive Player of the Season Award”, the conflict between Li Wan and Howard has caused a large number of onlookers from the “melon-eating masses”, and the league simply put on the “first episode” of the “Best Defensive Player Award” competition in advance! — Originally, they also wanted to see if the Magic team this season was qualified to be a rival to the New York Knicks.

Although the Magic currently have a good record, ranking third in the East, they have the Bulls under them, second only to the New York Knicks and the Heat…

Well, you can always trust Steve Nash’s ability to lead the team during the regular season.

Before the start of the game, it was obvious that Howard’s expression was different from before, let alone giggling, not even smiling, and even practicing free throws.

It’s this “bang” sound…

Stan Van Gundy quickly asked his assistants to stop him.

What are you…

Is it to remind the opponent that you can use the “chopping Huo” tactic against you?

Long snacks!

How old are you all these years?

Seeing the assistant’s dissuasion, Howard scratched his head in embarrassment: “Dude, I really practiced free throws in the summer, trust me!” ”

The teaching assistant was not surprised at all: “I know, three days, or four days, or five days?” ”

He is well aware of Howard’s character, belonging to “three days of fishing, two days of drying the net”, he must have practiced, but he definitely did not practice much, and it is estimated that he gave up in a few days.

The embarrassed smile that reappeared on Howard’s face proved that he guessed right…

“Warcraft” is also helpless, obviously when he “quenched”, he was very patient, how to run to the free throw line, there is no certainty at all?

With Li Wan’s appearance, Howard gave up thinking about this question and his expression became serious again.

Since Li Wan won the championship again last season, “Warcraft” understands that it is a little difficult for him to catch up with Li Wan in the number of championships… Even if he doesn’t want to admit that after leaving Li Wan, the road to the NBA has indeed been a lot more difficult, but he also knows how unscrupulous it is to win the championship in this “giant era” with the current Magic Team roster!

But……

Can’t win the championship, he admitted!

But defense has always been what he is best at, and in this matter, Li Wan suddenly launched a “shock” on him, and he did not allow himself to lose to Li Wan in this matter!

This time, fighting for his self-esteem, he is going to fight hard!

The live big screen gave the starting lineup on both sides at this time:

“New York Knicks: No. 1 Beverley, No. 2 Danny Green, No. 3 Lee Wan, No. 4 Kevin Garnett, No. 5 Tyson Chandler! ”

The Magic haven’t changed much this summer.

The starting line-up is the same as last season:

“No. 1 Steve Nash, No. 2 Joe Johnson, No. 3 Techoglu, No. 4 Anderson, No. 5 Howard; ”

The biggest gimmick of this game was the “Best Defensive Player Award” battle between Howard and Li Wan.

Therefore, the “Wolf King” faced Anderson with the ball and easily turned over and scored 2 points on a jumper.

The ball was scored against Anderson, but his eyes were on Howard: Come on, come on to defend me, such a defensive quality, do you still want to grab the best defensive player award with my family Giegie?

The provoked Howard was angry, his palms itching more and more, and Steve Nash saw this in his eyes and shouted: “Run!” ”

It’s just that the rest of the Magic team is running, but he…

was stopped by Beverley in the backfield, and changed his speed several times before he rushed from Beverley’s stalker to the front court.

But at this time, the New York Knicks were all in position, guarding the joint defense, waiting for him.

Look at the New York “Inside Twin Towers” on the left and right sides of the basket. No matter how eager Howard was, Steve Nash could only throw the ball into the hands of the “Eagle King” on the flank and let him single.

Don’t, don’t, don’t!

Joe Johnson waved his hand frantically, but the ball still reached his hand.

Looking at the confident stare at him in front of him, as if to say, “Here, brother? Li Wan put on a posture, and he felt the urge to lie flat immediately.

In the playoffs last season, facing Li Wan’s defense, he directly lost his self-confidence.

So much so that in this game, he had no desire to hold the ball at all.

On the night when he had the least desire to attack, the first attack of the Magic team was handed over to him to handle!

It’s really not good to introduce “the only hope of the whole team”!

Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of Howard, who wanted the ball inside, and immediately started a “triple threat pose”, deceived a passing space, and immediately hit the ground and stuffed it towards the inside.

Can……

“Snap! ”

One arm intercepts the ball directly.

Advance prediction from Danny Green.

Stealing well, he also glanced at Joe Johnson.

The face is full of incomprehension …

No!

We all stand in defense, you still dare to pass the ball like this?

Are you looking down on our defense?

Joe Johnson looked at his appearance and was ridiculous:

Is this a steal that is too easy?

This is too easy to steal, right?

No……

It’s easy, you can not steal!

While stealing, you think I’m passing the dish, right?

Wow, playing for so many years, I haven’t been so insulted!

Joe Johnson went after Danny Green. But the ball had long been transferred from Green’s hand to Li Wan’s hand at this time, and there was an exclamation on the sidelines, and Li Wan subconsciously turned his head and glanced at it with afterlight, and saw the “Warcraft” running wildly.

To say that this Howard dynamic talent is indeed top-notch.

The height of the number five, but the speed is comparable to the average sports striker.

Pity……

Li Wan is much faster than the average sports striker.

“Phew! ”

Split with one hand to score with ease.

4-0！

Howard, who rushed to see Li Wan complete the violent buckle, caused cheers from the audience.

It is worth saying that the reporters on the sidelines recorded this photo, and a few years later, this photo also became the best “silent interpretation” of the gap between Howard and Li Wan.

Once again, it’s the Magic’s turn to attack.

Beverley still used his backcourt bite to force Steve Nash to slow down his entry into the frontcourt.

And when he passed the half, the New York Knicks set up a defensive formation again.

One thing that is well known is that when Steve Nash can’t pull up the tempo, his influence on the court as the number one is directly halved.

Stan Van Gundy watched Howard force a missed shot under the basket, and Tyson Chandler took the rebound and looked back at Beverley with a dumbfounded look.

He really didn’t expect it…

Someone could actually limit Steve Nash in such a way!

This guy’s full-field entanglement ability is awesome!

As a defensive expert, Beverley has the urge to keep Stan Van Gundy drooling.

In fact, Beverley’s defensive ability is powerful, but it is not enough to limit Steve Nash to this appearance. The most important problem for the effect to be so obvious lies with Steve Nash himself.

He’s 38 years old!

Youdao is “afraid of being strong”, and at this age he ran into Beverley, the most unreasonable number one in the league’s defense…

This game is enough for Steve Nash to suffer!

This is also reflected in these two rounds. Against Beverley’s close defense, Steve Nash struggled through the half. Now he still has some physical strength, what if he consumes more time later?

Hey~

Beverley showed a simple smile, but in the eyes of Steve Nash, it was tantamount to “the devil’s smile”.

The New York Knicks looked at the defeated Magic team everyone, and their expressions seemed to say:

That’s it?

Before the start of this game, D’Antoni emphasized several times that the defensive end must always play with momentum.

This makes the New York Knicks think that the Magic team is a hard bone, but in the current situation, it is all ah!

Are you sure you’re already pushing hard?

We haven’t made any effort yet, they seem to be about to fall?

All right……

It was mainly D’Antoni and Mike Brown who did not expect that Beverley’s entangled defense would have this good effect on Steve Nash.

The New York Knicks put more energy on the offensive end.

Kevin Garnett continues to provoke Howard with the ball under the basket.

“Warcraft” made up this time, with a big hat that covered the sky, proving the gold content of his three-time “Defensive Player of the Season Award”.

Just as he was about to shout “Magic basket, don’t challenge”, a figure grabbed the ball he had covered and rushed straight in front of him.

“Phew! ”

Howard felt his whole head buzzing.

At the same time, the body involuntarily fell off the field.

Amid the heaven-shaking cheers, he looked at the figure with his hands released from the basket.

New York Knicks No. 25…

Li Wan!

“MVP！ ”

“MVP！ ”

“MVP！ ”

He stood like this, looking condescendingly at Howard who was sitting on the ground, listening to the shouts of the field at this moment, in Howard’s eyes, Li Wan was like a god!

Even a voice sounded in Howard’s heart:

Challenge him…

How dare you?

The atmosphere of the scene reached its climax, and in this round of cheers, the momentum of the New York Knicks easily overwhelmed the Magic.

And sometimes, this competition is more powerful than whoever has more energy!

The New York Knicks completely mastered the rhythm, and until the end, they won 120-89,31 points to end the “All-American Live”.

At the same time, this “Defensive Player of the Season Award” battle has basically come to an end.

Anyway, in terms of the result of this game…

Lee Wan had four steals and three blocks on the defensive end, and Joe Johnson defended only 6-of-19 from the field and had five turnovers. Compared to the defensive answer sheet he handed over, Howard only had 2 blocks, 1 steal in this game, and shot 60% from the field with his Tyson Chandler!

At the same time, at least 70% of the New York Knicks’ points in this game came from the basket.

Howard is very defensive for the first basket impact, but who makes his partner Anderson, a “high battery” who has no rebound-grabbing ability?

The advantage in rebounding gave the Knicks a lot more “second offensive chances” this game.

When you finally intercept the first line of defense and turn around to face the “air attack” of Levan or Tyson Chandler on the basket, don’t say that Howard is a “Warcraft”, even if it is “Superman”, it can’t be stopped…

Whether it was Li Wan’s impact or Tyson Chandler’s height, when they jumped up and were already close to the “bombing range”, Howard only got out of the way, but followed the basket with the burial.

Li Wan’s “Riding Howard” who scored the “five best goals today” is the best proof.

Beverley also received a lot of attention this night.

Steve Nash, this person, you want to say beat him up, then nothing unusual, most of the number one position in this league is waiting for the night of confrontation with Steve Nash for “Christmas”!

But if you can limit his performance on the offensive end, then…

It will definitely cause a lot of buzz!

Two-time regular season MVP in his own system, no matter what kind of defender he faces, he can always play with ease, after all, he is not fighting alone, and his blocking rate has always been high in the league’s guard line.

It is really difficult to limit him under such circumstances!

But now Beverley has done it!

It also allowed him to rise again in the defensive position of the No. 1 position.

But at the same time, there is another voice that is getting louder:

Steve Nash is really old!

The reason is also simple…

Beverley’s way of defending him is not a very unexpected move, but a “close entanglement” of Rotten Street, even if Beverley himself is already at the top level of the league in this regard, but if Steve Nash will be limited by the entanglement, how can he win two regular season MVPs.

There will be parallel goods, including the Finals MVP, there may be a less high-quality winner, only the regular season MVP… Those who can win this award are definitely not ordinary people!

Bill Wharton also said at the end of the game: “It is foreseeable that in the coming time, other teams will use the same way against Steve Nash!” ”

After all, this is the lifeblood of the Magic team!

The Magic, who averaged the top 4 points in the league this season, ended up with just 89 points in the game with Steve Nash on the line… This shows Steve Nash’s influence on the Magic.

To say that Bill Wharton’s foresight is really not covered.

The Magic were just 3-3 in the next six games.

Many teams have begun to play a full-court defense of Steve Nash like the New York Knicks, all kinds of close confrontations.

Steve Nash’s performance also became a “barometer” for the Magic, and when these personal confrontations made him overwhelmed, the Magic lost all!

The Magic’s ranking was also quickly overtaken by the Bulls after these six games, falling to fourth place in the East.

Howard was a little confused.

Against the New York Knicks, he not only lost chips to compete for the “Defensive Player of the Season award”, but also lost his position in the “top three” in the East…

Is this Li Wan really restraining me?

No wonder “Warcraft” thinks so!

Because he found that once he grabbed something with Li Wan, something unfortunate would happen to the team and him immediately!

Don’t talk about anything else, let’s say that when he grabbed the position of the boss of the Magic team, just grabbed his hand, the Magic team immediately fell from the position of the league’s mighty position, and he also changed from the top five position in the league, the future “center façade”, to a “passing Internet celebrity” that no one cares about…

Could it be that Li Wan will witchcraft?

After the New York Knicks won over the Magic, it was another “three-game winning streak” before losing to the Grizzlies in “back-to-back” and losing their first game in December.

To say that the Grizzlies have played really well this season, they are currently fourth in the West.

The arrival of Iguodala has brought not only changes on the defensive end to this team, but also the strategy, passing and team cooperation on the offensive end, all of which have been greatly improved by his arrival.

To talk about the person “first brother”, as long as you don’t let him be a “big brother”, he can give the league’s first-class performance in other aspects.

Of course, if you want to say that these abilities of his are practiced in the position of “big brother”, there is no problem.

The 76ers did not spend a lot of time on him and let him grow. Players with the general “second master” attribute really do not have such a growth environment as him.

So how important it is to be at the top of talent!

If you can’t be a “big boss”, you can be a “second boss”.

Like Grant Hill, who has been physically scrapped, he can still rely on defense to gain a foothold in the league at the end of his career.

In addition, Mike Conley’s growth this season is also the reason why the Grizzlies can climb to fourth place in the West.

So far this season, he has averaged 21.4 points, 7.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game, averaging 20 plus per game N years ahead of schedule, becoming another representative player of the league’s “offensive No. 1”.

His resurgence has taken a lot of pressure off Zach Randolph and allowed him to be more comfortable on the inside.

Averaged 22.4 points and 10.6 rebounds this season.

When a team has a dual core inside and outside, it is doomed that this team is a difficult team to beat, and even if this game is not “back-to-back”, the New York Knicks have to work hard to win…

Of course, this law…

Except for the Kings!

Tyrek Evans, who did not go astray, averaged 21.5 points and 5.6 assists per game, plus the “cousin” who grew up averaging 17.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, but still could not make this team rise, and they are still the fish belly of the West this season.

Gathering Adelman and the “Gorgeous King” seems to have spent all the city’s luck.

On December 16, the New York Knicks beat the Kings 115-98 and 17 points to avoid a “two-game losing streak”, and then left for San Antonio, and on December 18, they continued to challenge their arch-rival Spurs!

As the “elderly wheelchair” on the ESPN list that will completely age before the start of the new season, the Spurs “troika” has once again shocked this league.

So far, Tony Parker is averaging 20.8 points and 7.6 assists per game, Tim Duncan is averaging 17.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, and Manu Ginobili is averaging 11.8 points and 4.6 assists per game…

Looking at the data alone, you don’t know what the old man of time took away from them…

Especially the Spurs No. 21 named Tim Duncan.

Do you think you’re a rookie this season?

Hey, hey, hey!

You were a champion in ’97, and you entered the league after graduating from your senior year, it’s been 15 years, and you’re averaging 17.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game…

What are you doing?

Such a first-class performance, coupled with the fact that the Spurs are still ranked second in the West, has made many media praise and praise Tim Duncan.

Special mention to Tim Duncan’s age…

It’s really rare that a 36-year-old can still have this kind of performance and ability to lead a team!

If you don’t consider the record, you can’t average 30 points per game!

When Kevin Garnett saw these reports, he would return unconvinced: “Who is not 36 years old!” ”

So far this season, the “Wolf King” has averaged 13.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 50% from the field!

The performance is very comprehensive…

The media that boasted about him was much less than that of Kwatim Duncan…

No way!

Although he is in New York, the exposure of the New York media is focused on Li Wan. After all, this is the “child of destiny” that the New York Knicks have not had in 40 years since its establishment, and no one else can really be seen in the eyes of the New York media at this moment.

All the glory of New York, in the eyes of this group of New York media, was brought by Li Wan…

Kevin Garnett…

Don’t blame Li Wan!

Between good brothers, there is no need to calculate so clearly.

But he didn’t allow Tim Duncan to be so showy.

As for the feud between them, it really has been around for a long time, and if I had to give it time, Kevin Garnett remembers that it was a regular season game in the 2001-02 season, and he was ejected from both games against Tim Duncan.

Since then, Kevin Garnett has looked down on Tim Duncan, and of course, he knows that Tim Duncan doesn’t look at him either.

Then let’s see, 36-year-old me, and 36-year-old Tim Duncan, who is the strongest 36-year-old!

Kevin Garnett is ambitious, and he came out in good form in this away game against the Spurs, hitting two consecutive jumper shots.

Took the opening lead for the New York Knicks.

Only when the first quarter hit 8 minutes and 15 seconds, Li Wan accidentally twisted his ankle and had to leave the field to check.

After that, the Spurs gradually took the initiative, and at 5:14 in the second quarter, they led by 9 points.

“Coach, I’m really okay, I’m fine! ”

“No, you are injured, very serious, you must continue to observe! ”

“I’m really fine, coach, you see I can still jump, if you don’t believe it, I can still jump!” ”

“Even if you dance a little swan dance today, in my case, you are seriously injured and cannot play!” ”

“……”

At halftime, at Li Wan’s strong request, he finally stood on the sidelines and watched the New York Knicks lose 98-109 to the Spurs.

Tim Duncan scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, outscoring Kevin Garnett’s 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, winning both games and winning statistics.

When the final whistle sounded, a sullen smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Li Wan looked in his eyes, and at that time he was not strange, why Crawford wanted to give him a T, just this burning smile, Li Wan if Crawford, directly arranged for him to be “banned for life”.

“Are you all right, man? ”

Kevin Garnett’s expression could not hide his frustration, but when he walked in front of Li Wan, his expression immediately turned into worry, and at the same time there were hundreds of millions of points of nervousness.

He was won by Tim Duncan, which is not a big deal.

Especially compared to Li Wan’s injury, it is not even Mao.

I haven’t lost once or twice in so many years, not worse this time, but if Li Wan is seriously injured, then this season he will not win the championship again…

At his age, how many years can he fight as the main force?

Can’t really wait for the 39-year-old to sit on the water dispenser and shake a white towel to win the championship?

“No big problem! ”

Li Wan’s answer made him feel at ease.

“Snap! ”

Li Wan slapped him again.

Kevin Garnett looked at Levan with some doubt. Is it what I care about not enough, let me continue to care?

“Don’t worry too much, lose tonight, next time we win it back together!” ”

His cranky thoughts were interrupted by Li Wan, and this passage was like a warm current, which made Kevin Garnett’s whole person warm.

He really…

I cried to death!

Li Wan is really my good brother!

At this moment, Li Wan’s brother value in Kevin Garnett’s heart is 10086.

Early the next morning, Donnie Walsh took Li Wan to the best orthopedic hospital in New York to take a film, and after determining that it was only a slight sprain, he finally felt relieved.

With the results coming out, there are countless New York fans who are relieved together.

Li Wan was injured and retired, but he frightened them!

“It’s only a minor sprain, but we have to take it seriously and treat it like a foot injury throughout the season. Li Wan must not be allowed to score on the field with an injury…”

Although there was no problem, Donnie Walsh held a two-person meeting with D’Antoni, and in the end they agreed to let Li Wandao rest for two games.

Anyway, there are no hard bones to gnaw next.

And as far as the New York Knicks’ current record is concerned, it is enough to cope with the worst plan of not having Li Wan present these days.

No wonder they are so cautious, the critical period of the “triple crown”, any wrong step, they may become the sinners of the whole of New York.

And as far as the short temper of New York fans, once they become sinners, the city is afraid that it will not be able to stay…

In this way, Li Wan learned what it means to “have a kind of rest, so that the head coach thinks you have to rest!” ”

But these days, he can focus on negotiating a new contract with Nike.

His new contract with Nike expires this summer.

Although at the first time, Nike sent a representative to complete the renewal immediately, but Taryn chose to wait and see the offers of other sneaker brands in the principle of maximizing interests, which was also to force Nike’s most sincere offer.

To say that Taryn’s trick really works.

At the beginning, Nike offered a 10-year 300 million contract extension, which is also a sky-high contract for a player. Even Tyren was a little moved.

But Adidas made a move at this time…

They promised to set up an independent sub-brand for Li Wan, like Nike’s AJ, and let Li Wan own the right to operate it.

When Nike learned the news, he was stunned…

They were well aware that Adi did it on purpose.

The purpose is to force them to complete the renewal of Li Wan at a greater cost.

But even if they knew that this was Adi’s intention, they seemed to have only this choice.

In the NBA, they have competed with Adi for many years, and now they have finally completely gained the upper hand, they don’t want to make trouble, especially this person is Li Wan!

The 2012 Olympics have just ended, and in terms of his global reach… If Nike doesn’t keep up with the offer and watch him turn his head to Adidas, who knows if he will be Adidas’ comeback weapon?

You know, Nike was able to gradually form a confrontation situation from Adi’s suppression, relying on…

That’s Michael Jordan!

As far as Li Wan’s current momentum is concerned, it may be Michael Jordan of the 21st century!

This person, they must be grasped in the hands …

Therefore, even if it is Adidas’ Yang Scheme, they can only keep up with the chips –

Isn’t it a sub-brand? We followed!

Li Wan never expected that the biggest beneficiary of the war between the two brands would actually be him… How profitable Boss Joe’s AJ is, let’s just say that it easily supports the operation of the Hornets! The annual net profit is less than 100 million!

Li Wan’s “PG1” has only this number of sales so far, of course, it is only “PG1”, and the “XL” that is on the right track is now making money much stronger than the “PG1” in the same period.

This woman’s money is indeed easy to earn…

If there is one more NIKE sub-brand for Li Wan to operate…

This year’s net profit of two or three small goals, I am afraid that it will soon become a reality!

Li Wan didn’t say a word, and signed directly with Nike.

After Nike’s headquarters knew that the contract was completed, although there was a feeling of a miserable victory in his heart, thinking about it, he was more bound to Li Wan, and felt that Nike’s future in the NBA was bright.

To know…

Li Wancai is 24 years old!

Even if he hits the age of 34, there are still ten years left!

That’s enough for Nike to turn the NBA into “Nike’s NBA”!

Sacrificing a small piece of cake for a whole cake is actually not a big deal, right?

After Nike’s new contract was officially signed, it immediately caused a huge discussion in the entire league.

When asked by the media about Michael Jordan’s opinion on this matter, Jordan said: “When a player can reach the dominance of Li Wan, no matter what happens, he deserves it!” ”

His answer was decent.

The media continued to ask the bottom line: “Do you think Li Wan will pose a threat to your status?” ”

Jordan’s answer was still calm: “When he gets two trifecta, let’s discuss this again!” ”

This remark attracted a lot of media support.

In their opinion, it is indeed too early to discuss whether Lee can surpass Michael Jordan.

But……

Barkley said: “The impact of Nike’s contract extension is undoubtedly huge, because it reminds us what kind of guy Li Wan is…”

“He’s accomplishing something incredible! He’s doing what a lot of Michael Jordan’s successors didn’t do in the ’00s. ”

“It’s true it’s too early to talk about this, but one day in the future, when we suddenly talk about the distance between Li Wan and Michael Jordan…”

“If a start time is needed… Well, it’s probably now! ”

From now on, Li Wan officially rushes to Michael Jordan!

In the midst of the outside world’s discussion, on December 20, the New York Knicks without Li Wan hosted the Toronto Raptors.

This summer, the Raptors traded Kyle Lowry from the Rockets.

The “garbage brothers” were officially formed.

DeRozan is averaging 18.1 points so far and Lowry is averaging 12 points and 6.4 assists per game, and under their leadership, the Raptors are currently in the 7th place in the East.

After 3 years, he is back in the playoffs.

In the face of this new army, the New York Knicks played very anxiously, and the lack of Li Wan’s influence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was undoubtedly revealed.

There is no Li Wan on the offensive end, and he can only rely on Kevin Garnett to organize the attack, but his physical ability is okay as a “second master”, and the whole time he holds the ball is a little inadequate.

Defensively facing DeRozan and Lowry, who are in great form tonight, the Knicks’ outside line rarely shows a trade-off.

In the end, if it weren’t for DeRozan’s 0.7-second timeout, the New York Knicks would have fallen to their home court.

So even if they win, New York fans still want to sing out loud:

Li Wan, you come back quickly, I can’t bear it alone!
