Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 269: The Finals Begin

May 25.

The fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals begins.

It’s also the American Airlines Center arena.

Tonight’s audience is obviously less crowded than the last one, although it still looks full, but compared to the oppression of the crowded explosion of the last one, there is a big gap.

It can also be seen from the state of the Heat before the game that the loss in the third game still had a great impact on them, and they were all listless.

There is no state of fighting a “life and death battle” at all.

Especially LeBron James.

There are even some movements that dodge the camera.

It is no wonder that after the referee’s report came out, the doubts he caused have not dissipated until now.

In the pre-game interview before the start of the game, reporters asked more about LeBron’s questioning of the penalty.

This greatly affected LeBron James’ entire form.

The first ball of the game, he almost missed the pass…

As a result, the Heat didn’t have the upper hand as they did in the first two games. By the end of the first quarter, they were 29-35 points, trailing by six points.

However, falling behind so much is not just because the Heat’s side is not in the right state, the New York Knicks suddenly adjusted their playing style tonight, and immediately started the rhythm and played against the Heat.

At the same time, improve the strength on the defensive end.

Through the way of pressing the whole court, the Heat, who were already in a somewhat poor state, could not keep up with their beat at all. As a result, the advantage was successfully established.

They played so smoothly, coupled with the 3-0 pressure, the Heat side was even more flustered, and soon had to rely on star scoring to maintain the situation.

LeBron James and Wade found some form in the second quarter, but the New York Knicks did not make targeted arrangements, but instead came up with the first and second games of the press-paced “positional battle” style of play, and did not rush to attack the Heat.

The six-point difference lasted until 8:56 into the third quarter of the game, and the Heat gradually became impatient, and the more anxious they were, the slower the Knicks played…

Just like that, the Heat, eager to chase points, began to make mistakes, and the New York Knicks seized on their mistakes and extended the gap of 6 points to 8, 10, 12…

In the end, the game was over, and the New York Knicks once again won the home court of the Heat. When the whistle, which symbolizes the end of the game, is not a single fan in the audience.

Big score 4-0!

They officially eliminated the Heat!

This is the third year in a row that the New York Knicks have swept the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

It is also the fifth consecutive year that LeBron James has been swept by Li Wan.

The 0-20 record is really bright red and dazzling for LeBron James fans!

When the final whistle sounded, Kevin Garnett turned his head to look at LeBron James next to him, instinctively wanting to go over and say something to him, but he thought about it carefully and didn’t know what to say to LeBron James…

Because LeBron is not like him, he spent 12 years in the Timberwolves, he changed teams, and his teammates are also very powerful, Wade and Chris Bosh, when they became teammates with LeBron in 10 years, one was a top 5 star in the league, and another was at least a top 20 star in the league.

Stars of this level are teammates, and the lineup is really luxurious enough.

It ended up like this…

Kevin Garnett thought for a long time and finally came up with the following word:

Unlucky!

Huddled at the peak age, originally took the script to make the league finale, but I didn’t expect it, and actually met Li Wan, the “Michael Jordan” of the 10s!

The “Big Three of the Heat” are as unlucky as the original Ewing, it seems…

Also normal huh?

Ewing: Again, I’ve only been swept by Jordan once! And they are three times, who is more unlucky, understand?

Wait, wait for me to retire, Li Wan has no helpers, while he is looking for new teammates, try to win a championship!

Kevin Garnett looked at LeBron James’s back and silently chanted in his heart.

As for why he didn’t say it in person, first, there is no chance, second, there is no chance, and third, there is no chance!

Before he could reach out to LeBron James to “hug”, the guy turned with an iron face, turned and entered the home team player tunnel. There was no intention to greet him at all.

No matter what…

Kevin Garnett turned to find Lee Wan.

They want to go to the finals!

Thinking of this happy thing, Kevin Garnett’s face was full of smiles, and he couldn’t help but howl twice.

However, before he could lunge at Li Wan, the rest of the New York Knicks had already pounced and surrounded him.

A mixture of excited shouts echoed in the silent home arena of the Heat.

Wade stood there, his eyes glanced at the noisy New York Knicks with complicated eyes, and on the way to the locker room, he suddenly felt his eyes hot and painful.

And then I couldn’t suppress it anymore and cried…

Lost again!

Lost again!

Thinking back to the spirit three years ago, and looking at the embarrassed appearance now, Wade’s heart gave birth to a strong sense of frustration. This frustration made his “Dao heart” broken.

It’s really not an exaggeration…

He didn’t even want to continue his career anymore!

Although he did not have a championship three years ago, he still had status, and now, he does not have a championship, and his status is still not …

Chris Bosh roared away.

Just as soon as he arrived in the dressing room, his eyes showed a little ease, and he took out his mobile phone and contacted his agent:

– Man, help me see what kind of contract I can probably sign if I jump out of the contract.

The message was sent, about a minute, and there was a reply:

——OK！

Chris Bosh didn’t send anything more, turned off his phone, and squeezed it tightly.

Passed!

Passed!

Three full years, finally passed!

I, the “Dragon King”, am about to return to my free body…

As in previous years, the Eastern Awards simply ended.

Li Wan attended the post-game press conference, and a reporter asked: “The contracts of the Heat’s Big Three are about to expire this summer, do you think the Heat will continue to retain the current roster next season?” ”

Li Wan was deliberately stunned for a moment before he spoke: “Sorry, when did I become the general manager of the Heat?” ”

This caused a lot of laughter.

Li Wan couldn’t hold back and smiled: “Man, you should ask Pat Riley about this, he can give you the most accurate answer.” ”

To be honest, Li Wan feels that the Heat’s “Big Three” will definitely be gone when this summer ends.

No matter how tempting the paper strength of this lineup looks like, the problem is…

I haven’t made it to the finals once in three years!

Such a lineup, no matter how much it looks forward, is destined to be dismantled, and this is this alliance. All for the championship!

However, this is just his opinion, and the devil knows what Pat Riley will do in the end. Li Wan didn’t want to worry about others, so he directly refused to answer and went around.

Journalists also perceived this meaning, and the next question:

“Do you think the Thunder can win three consecutive games and reverse the Spurs like last year, when they were 3-1 down? ”

Li Wan only thought for a moment, and spoke: “If such a thing is so easy to happen, it will not be a small probability event!” ”

Last season’s Spurs roster had obvious holes and lacked defensive core on the outside.

This season is different, Leonard has grown up, coupled with the addition of Dior and others, making the team’s tactics on the offensive end richer, and it is really difficult for the Thunder to reverse such a “new Spurs” with enhanced offense and defense.

In addition, Li Wan personally looks forward to meeting the Spurs.

His first championship in the New York Knicks was the Lakers led by the previous “league first” Kobe; The second opponent to take is the league’s new force Thunder!

Now the small ones and the middle ones have been cleaned up, if only the Spurs team of the “veteran representative” were done again.

That’s really dominating the NBA!

Then the other side can start his own era…

If you play Kevin Durant for two years in a row… That’s not interesting!

The script of “07 Double Heroes” is really not as good as Li Wan’s “gun to pick NBA old, middle-aged and young”!

Kevin Durant learned of Li Wan’s remarks before the fifth game of the series began, and angrily said to the reporter who interviewed him: “Then let’s see what the result looks like!” ”

After that, he held the “Mjolnir”, and under the witness of the “Oklahoma fathers and fellow countrymen”, he single-handedly cut 43 points, helping the team rewrite the big score to 2-3!

Before getting on the plane, he told the Oklahoma media: “Wait, I’ll be back here with the team, the Thunder’s journey won’t fall here!” ”

That look, man is just one word, Thunder fans only say it once.

They were also particularly excited to run to Li Wan’s Twitter message:

“See? Miracles are happening! ”

“Li, I think you should be afraid of meeting Kevin on the stage of the finals, so you think this is a small probability event, right? ”

“Wait, Li Wan, wait for us to return to the stage of the finals and take revenge on you! ”

This should be the first time that such a large number of Kevin Durant fans have come to Li Wan’s Twitter to shout. Kevin Durant, who has completely transformed this year, has indeed surprised many Oklahomans.

Let this gang become his die-hard fans.

Only soon, the “Wanjia Army” who heard the news all dispatched, and Li Wan did not need Li Wan to respond to anything, and soon broke through this force, and Li Wan’s Twitter restored the previous peace.

Well……

Although Kevin Durant has a group of die-hard fans who belong to him.

But really speaking of fans, Li Wan, who has won the first “three-in-a-row regular season MVP” in his career, is the real surge in the number of fans again.

It can be said that now his fan base still has a number, which is completely the original “Kozhan Combination”!

After all, originally Kobe Bryant in this period had honors, no data, and was called the “Iron King”; And the original LeBron had data and honor, but was not convincing, and decided to make him a representative of the “deserter who huddled for warmth”.

Li Wan is different, to have data with data, to honor with honor, to be efficient and efficient, anyway, what you like, you can always find the answer in him!

There may be people who don’t like such players, but absolutely no one hates them.

Sometimes, passers-by fans…

That’s powder too!

Coupled with the fact that a certain number of “die-hard fans” have arrived, if the fans hedge, Li Wan’s fan base can really say unceremoniously:

Everyone here is rubbish!

In particular, Li Wan will also usher in an opportunity to “purify”.

As long as he can win this year’s championship and become another player who has led the team to play a “three-in-a-row” since Shaq O’Neal, then it can be expected that many passers-by fans will quickly transform into his “diehard fans”.

No matter what kind of competition, the champion will always enjoy the most magnesium lights, as well as all kinds of flowers and applause.

On May 27, some media asked Li Wan again: “Now, do you still think it is impossible for the Thunder to reverse the Spurs?” ”

Li Wan was still very firm: “Of course, this is originally a difficult thing to do!” ”

“So what if they do it again? ”

Li Wan thought for a while: “Impossible! ”

If it does…

Then I can only thank Kevin Durant for sending me the championship.

There is nothing to express, just return him a big gift package called “4-0 sweep”, anyway, this thing is also sent for the second time, he will definitely like it!

Yes……

This is why Li Wan answered so firmly.

Since his own doubts can make Kevin Durant even crazier, then of course he has to give this guy some fierce material!

Although he would prefer to play the Spurs.

But this is considered from the perspective of the gold content of the “three consecutive championships” and his best opponent if he wants to open the next era.

If you consider the difficulty of the opponent, then he chooses the Thunder!

Later, many fans once regretted that if the “Thunder Three Youngsters” had been in one team, what a dominant team it should be… This statement is more based on the fact that all three eventually became “regular season MVPs”, but the current situation is that Kevin Durant has just transformed into a regular season MVP-level player, Westbrook has a bit of a superstar, and James Harden belongs to the star flavor that has just played his own.

Kevin Durant will have to wait at least two more seasons for these two men to truly peak.

In addition, behind the Thunder is Brooks, the head coach who only has a set of tactics called “youth is blind gil” tactics, and he is completely unable to “make the best use of his talents and materials”.

If they make it to the Finals, the New York Knicks will book the championship in advance!

Kevin Durant didn’t know that Li Wan’s mind was so twisted, anyway, he was mad when he heard Li Wan continue to say “impossible”.

In the sixth game of the series, he went wild again.

He scored consecutive points from the start, and by the end of the first quarter, he had reached 12 points in the game. By the end of the first half, his score had reached 28 points!

“Crazy, crazy! This guy is really crazy! ”

As a loyal “iron fan” of Li Wan, Barkley is now rarely surprised by the performance of other stars in the league… Because no matter how crazy they are, in front of his family Li Wan Giegie, that’s all.

But tonight, he was really shocked by Kevin Durant’s performance.

It’s just that……

“It’s still hard for the Thunder to win tonight! ”

Kenny Smith watched the score at halftime, 50-45.

On the leading side is the Spurs.

On the night when Kevin Durant was so aggressive, they still led by five points into the second half.

Popovich’s tactics today are simple, since you Kevin Durant can score so much, then I will let you score!

His approach is to always use Leonard to defend Kevin Durant single-handedly, and use the rest of his defensive power to limit the rest of the Thunder.

This defensive tactic is somewhat similar to what the Spurs did when they faced the Suns in the ’05 Western Conference Finals.

Maybe a little easier…

After all, the Thunder don’t have an organizable person like Steve Nash who needs to focus on.

Although Westbrook is more aggressive than Steve Nash, his scoring efficiency is really far worse than Nash, and once this person is in a hurry, then any outrageous operation can be seen.

The Thunder were in a hurry, and the point difference was widened more and more.

Rao was Kevin Durant who scored another 13 points in the third quarter, and the Spurs still extended the gap to more than 10 points.

In the fourth quarter, with Kevin Durant’s fitness problems, the offensive momentum was less violent, and the Spurs finally laughed 109-96, 13-point difference.

The big score was 4-2, officially knocking the Thunder out.

In the same situation as last year’s Western Conference finals, they refused to be reversed again!

Tim Duncan gave Kevin Durant a “touch-and-head kill” after the game: “Dude, the future is yours!” ”

When Kevin Durant tried to dodge, it was too late.

After hugging Tim Duncan with a resentful face, he left the scene, chanting words in his mouth:

the future is yours!

Don’t think he doesn’t know, Tim Duncan gave this sentence to LeBron James 6 years ago.

Look at LeBron now, is the future coming?

On the contrary, this old man entered the finals again!

Isn’t that a lie?

Kevin Durant decided to go to Europe in the summer to find the best wizards and exorcise him.

He left the court at the same time that the Spurs were already awarding the Western Conference Finals trophy.

Re-lifting the Western Conference championship trophy after 6 years, you can see that every player in the Spurs team has a smile on their face, including the usual “old Duntou”.

However, when he was laughing, he also looked around twice and found that there was no bald head that was eye-catching at the scene, which revealed a more reassuring smile.

A reporter from the sidelines recorded this “family photo” of the Spurs.

And this photo also caused a heated discussion the next day.

Because……

“Facial paralysis isn’t going away, it’s just transferred from Tim Duncan’s face to Leonard’s! ”

“The Spurs have really found a new successor! ”

“Leonard is really a natural Spurs man! ”

……

Leonard came to the second season of his career.

In the regular season, there is already a lot of improvement.

So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 13.5 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.8 steals per game, while shooting an astonishing 54.4%!

More and more media refer to him as “the successor of the Spurs after Tim Duncan”!

When talking about Popovich’s trade of George Hill for the Pacers’ first-round pick No. 15 the year before and the selection of Leonard’s trade, their comments also changed to “the old coach is as bright as a torch”, “Popovich is too discerning”, “So the Spurs have Popovich is the most fundamental reason why they can enter the playoffs in 20 years”!

Now, looking at Leonard’s “facial paralysis”, they feel that this person was born to belong to the Spurs!

It’s just that……

Leonard saw these reports, but pouted slightly: “What did he choose well, this is clearly because I worked hard enough, right?” ”

How much sweat has he shed in the training hall in the past two years?

How wet stretch vests are!

So much effort and sweat, the result has all become the vision of this old man?

Sure enough, in this team, all the credit will be tied to Popovich!

He was upset!

Kevin Durant was even more upset, because after Li Wan learned that they were eliminated, he said directly: “Look, I’ll just say it, it’s really difficult for such a thing to happen a second time in a row, even if it’s the same two teams!” ”

That tone made him even more angry than Scarlett’s phrase “Damn, give up, even if you win the game, you won’t be able to drink the old lady’s bath water”.

This pair of dog men and women!

Wait and see!

Kevin Durant cursed viciously, then pulled out his keyboard.

Well……

In the face of the failure of the media’s bold words, he did not dare to go out in the past two days, for fear of being seen by fans. This depression in my heart can only be vented through the trumpet.

The good news is:

He loves and is good at this way of venting!

As the dust settles on the Western Conference Finals, the final opponent of this year’s Finals is also officially decided.

Another set of duels that no one expected…

Of course, this refers more to the fact that the Spurs reached the Finals!

Especially before the start of the new season, ESPN, which was clamoring that this year’s “troika” would completely fall apart, is covering its face with ice cubes at home at the moment.

This slap of the Spurs team directly gave them eyeballs to fly!

But it does make people’s eyes wide…

After all, the last time the Spurs reached the Finals was in the summer of ’07, six years after this year.

During these six years, Tim Duncan, the cornerstone of the team, has been in ups and downs, averaging only 13.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game the year before, setting new career lows.

Everyone thought he was old, but as a result, he warmed up strongly, and this year he returned to the stage of the best team in the league!

Bill Walton said: “Seriously, if the Celtics, who have won 8 straight games, are the highest mountain in the entire league, then this Spurs deserves the longest river in the league!” ”

From Tim Duncan winning the championship with the Spurs in ’98 to reaching the Finals again this year, the time span is 15 years!

Even more exaggerated…

The partners who are now accompanying Tim Duncan are still Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, who came to the Spurs in 0203!

How terrifying is this staying power?

Let’s put it this way!

In the original timeline, this league has a “chosen son” with endless potential, his teammates from the best two in the same class of 03, to the fifth pick in the first round in 08 plus 11 years of champions, and then to 12 years of champions, worked hard to change teams several times, and finally won the number of championships, not comparable to the Spurs in the Tim Duncan era!

So Bill Walton called the team “the longest river”, which in Liwan’s opinion, is the most appropriate. ESPN also turned around in time, calling the Spurs “the best interpretation of the spirit of ‘veterans don’t die’!” ”

In the media rendering, the heat about the finals quickly rose.

Speaking of which, this finals showdown, there is really no lack of gimmicks.

Whether the Knicks can win the championship and complete the biggest gimmick of “three consecutive championships” is not to say.

Lee Wan and the Spurs trace their feud back to Bruce Bowen.

Just say that the feud between Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan is enough for most media to publish more than a dozen reports.

The battle for the “number one forward” in the league that year to the battle for the “number one forward” in history, although with the success of Tim Duncan with 4 titles, there is no suspense for discussion.

But Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan met for the first time in the Finals.

On the highest stage, what kind of performance these two people will contribute, it really makes some old fans look forward to it.

I’m old and old, I didn’t expect to see such a scene!

There is also a gimmick, naturally Leonard, the “successor of the new Spurs”, can play what kind of performance he can play in the face of Li Wan, which also makes many fans full of expectations.

In this discussion.

On the first day of June, the 12~13 season finals officially started at the home of the New York Knicks.

The sideline audience that night was “star-studded”.

All the big names gathered together.

Among them is Taylor, who has not been seen for a long time.

A simple black T-shirt and a pair of blue denim trousers with a nipped-in waist show off her entire slender curves.

Her face had excitement visible to the naked eye.

In fact, she originally planned to wait until the final game to win before coming to watch the game,

However, she is worried that the Spurs will not survive Game 5 of the series, after all, the New York Knicks have been too fierce this season, and they have not lost a game so far.

And……

As the New York Knicks get closer and closer to winning the championship, she really feels like a year in the recent period, and she can’t wait for time to pass. Then after Li Wan won the championship, let God make up for this time for her.

In the end, she ran over in the first game.

Seeing Li Wan on the field, she shouted excitedly, looking at this radiant man, she couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart: He…

Seriously, right?

Or is it casual?

No, it shouldn’t be casual!

He never jokes on such topics!

Seriously, for sure!

Well!

Her thoughts were spinning a thousand times, and just as she was about to compose a song in her head, Li Wan called out to her: “Taylor! ”

“Huh? ”

She looked up, and Li Wan did not walk towards her, but stretched out 4 fingers and shook them.

With just this one move, Taylor suddenly showed a bright smile.

This scene was captured by sideline cameras throughout.

“What does that mean? Barkley never expected that Li Wan stretched out 4 fingers and could actually make Taylor laugh so much that he couldn’t close his legs.

Li Wan’s finger…

Is it so powerful?

Kenny Smith thought about it, “4” is a sensitive number, and he immediately thought of 4 victories: “It should be after winning the finals, what is the agreement between the two people…”

Barkley felt…

Or is his own idea more reliable.

It must be Li Wan’s fingers that are powerful.

He really didn’t think there was any convention that would make Taylor laugh like this.

The gag between the two of them officially begins.

Call~

Kevin Garnett took a deep breath before coming on the field and slowly exhaled again.

This is the third time in his career that he has reached the finals, and he really didn’t expect that he would be nervous…

All right!

What should have come to mind too…

After all, this is very likely, it is the only chance in his life!

Whether you can close the gap between yourself and Tim Duncan before retiring depends on this time! Can you hold the O’Brien Cup, also look at this time!

“Let’s go, guys, and win tonight! ”

Li Wan’s voice sounded beside him.

Kevin Garnett suddenly felt relaxed for a long time…

He didn’t expect that in just one season, he actually trusted Li Wan so much, and even became dependent… But thinking about the “miracles” he witnessed after becoming teammates with this guy, he suddenly relaxed even more…

No matter how tough this series is, he has only one sentence:

There is nothing to say, anyway, Li Wan will make a move!

“Toot! ”

Amid the roar of the audience, the starting lineups on both sides stepped onto the field.

The live large screen gives the lineup on both sides:

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

Spurs: No. 1 Tony Parker, No. 2 Aaron Afflaro, No. 3 Leonard, No. 4 Tim Duncan, No. 5 Thiago Split; ”

Kevin Garnett walked to the center of the field to prepare for the jumping ball, and it was Split who came out jumping the ball.

Speaking of which, this guy is still the same student as Li Wan, and he is a big European center selected by the Spurs with the 27th pick in the first round in ’07. But it wasn’t until 10 years before I came to the NBA.

As a big center from Europe, Split is also similar to other European insiders, without physical fitness…

Kevin Garnett jumped to the ball with ease.

Li Wan dribbled through the half.

In the first round, he played Leonard.

Looking at the expressionless latter, he tried to drag to the right, and found that Leonard had a tendency to cling in the process of traversing, and Li Wan circled the ball behind his back and attacked towards Leonard’s other side.

At this time, the problem of Leonard’s lack of coordination was exposed.

When the pace under his feet changed, Li Wan had broken through from his weak side, and he could only symbolically “look back” to try to steal, Li Wan defended his hand early, and the ball protector slapped his “dark claw” away.

When Tim Duncan hesitated to make up for it, Li Wan simply shot and the ball fell into the net.

2-0！

The cheers at the scene suddenly became a few degrees louder.

Taylor also clenched his hands into fists, pulled them hard, and rejoiced: “Yes! ”

“Leonard is still young! ”

Barkley commented.

Li Wan’s goal was a little easier.

Kenny Smith said: “The main Li Wan’s offensive skills are too rich, and I have found that now Li Wan’s ability to read defense is better, and he can make quick judgments every time!” ”

The offense really doesn’t drag on at all.

Every movement is simple and practical, and it is very comfortable to watch!

Kenny Smith didn’t learn Chinese, or he would have said: The road is simple!

It was the Spurs’ turn to attack.

Tony Parker held the ball and used Split’s cover to get rid of Beverley’s “mad dog” entanglement and go straight inside, but Tyson Chandler covered him well.

He also threw the ball directly to the right at a 45-degree angle, and Afraro now bypassed the low cover given by Tim Duncan, successfully ran out of the open position, and received the ball.

“Ugh! ”

Three-point hit!

As the Spurs’ biggest deal last summer, Afraro surprised Popovich, averaging 11.2 points and 42.5 percent three-point shooting to complement the Spurs’ flanking firepower.

For example, after the Spurs’ “hammer tactic” helped him get around the open position, he also proved his trust with a three-point goal.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, we still have one! ”

Li Wan went to the front court and continued to “name” Leonard.

Xiaoka learned from the experience and no longer stood “up and down” this time, and Li Wan directly carried his hands “Crawford-style” on his back in an attempt to pass him in one step.

But Leonard’s static talent is indeed excellent, and when he moves half a step slower, his long arm is still in front of Li Wan, especially the big hand, which is like a fan, forming enough interference.

Li Wanjian did not completely get rid of it, simply changed the rhythm step by step, after dribbling the ball, suddenly an in&out, the amplitude is very large, almost the same as “Sam Gaard”, where did the young Leonard see this, the core foot shifted, and the whole body fell to the other side.

Once again, he watched Li Wan rush past him.

Split subconsciously crossed under the basket.

Can……

This ball Li Wan started too fast, plus Leonard rarely was so simply shaken, by the time Split saw Li Wan complete the breakthrough, Li Wan was almost to the basket.

“Phew! ”

It was also for this reason that as soon as Split arrived at the basket, he felt a huge impact rush him out, and at the same time a slam exploded above his head.

“Toot! ”

The referee blew the whistle.

Li Wan beats 2 plus 1!

The cheers from the audience suddenly enveloped the stadium like the water level on the levee soaring during a rainstorm.

“King of New York! ”

“King of New York! ”

“King of New York! ”

……

In the cheers, Li Wan walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily.

The score is 5-3!

Popovich decisively called a timeout, and called Leonard to the side with a serious expression.

Although, Leonard grew up step by step in this environment.

He is undoubtedly a piece of jade, but without Popovich’s teaching, it is not possible to completely dig him out for other managers.

The game resumes.

I don’t know if Popovich’s preaching is useful, anyway, when Leonard plays, everyone can tell that he is in a bad mood.

Bill Wharton looked at Leonard and said, “This is indeed a blow!” ”

Leonard’s progress has earned him countless praises, especially before reaching the finals, and the media directly praised him to the height of “Duncan’s successor”!

As a result, as soon as the finals came up, he was continuously “named” by Li Wan like a “primary school student”.

This “falling together” gap will definitely affect his mood.

Fortunately, the Spurs have always been steady, and Li Wan’s “2 plus 1” did not affect the team’s form.

Pausing back the first attack, they played again.

Tony Parker finds Tim Duncan after breaking through.

“Stone Buddha” could not find a good opportunity in the face of Kevin Garnett’s “spider long arm”, and chose “inner transmission” to Split.

The European big center followed up inside and scored an easy layup.

Although Split is a big European center, he does not follow the “technical flow” like the traditional European insider. He is more blue-collar, and the top defense and follow-up are his strengths.

This season, he averaged 24.6 minutes per game, contributing 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds, as evidenced by his 56% shooting percentage. You must know that if his data is converted to 36 minutes, it is an average of 15.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, which is a proper league top blue-collar data.

Tim Duncan’s numbers have picked up this season, thanks really to his explosion.

Of course, it’s all interconnected.

He relieved Tim Duncan of physical pressure such as top defense, and Tim Duncan also helped him attract a lot of defense and let him score easily.

Just like the attack just this round.

The difference returned to a 5-5 draw.

Li Wan continued to flank and name “military training” Leonard.

Leonard chose to take the initiative this time, interfering with Li Wan’s dribbling with his long arm.

But Li Wan did not entangle with him at all, and after the ball protector slapped Leonard’s long arm away, it was a direct explosive force to open the way.

He knows very well that he is against Leonard, and the advantage must be in his dynamic talent. If you really grind and play slowly with Leonard and see how Kobe looks when facing him, it’s really not a good choice…

Therefore, Li Wan’s breakthrough this time did not have a little skill, it was all talent!

“Ugh! ”

“Toot! ”

When the ball went into the frame again, Popovich called a timeout again.

He barely cared that 30 seconds earlier, he had called a pause.

In the whole league, Popovich is definitely the first manager to take a timeout or improper suspension, as long as the situation on the field is not satisfactory to him, he will immediately call a timeout, until he is in a satisfactory position.

When Leonard came off the field, his face, which had been “paralyzed”, was a little more obviously depressed.

Li Wan faced him three times in a row to complete the score, which really discouraged him.

Especially for the third time, he also chose to take the initiative, but he could only watch the latter complete the breakthrough from next to him.

He felt as if he was chained to an iron frame, and in the face of Li Wan, he did not have the slightest resistance power.

He couldn’t help but ask: Is the gap really so big?

Popovich did not talk to Leonard again this time, and now the situation is already obvious, with Leonard’s current defensive experience, he can’t prevent Li Wan at all, and he has to experience it again.

He chose to change: “Aaron (dragon), you are on!” ”

Afraro’s expression was a little apprehensive, Leonard’s miserable appearance in his eyes, he really didn’t think he could prevent Li Wan, but now, what could he say? All he could say was, “Yes, coach!” ”
