Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 352: My stupid apprentice, let Master Wei teach you one last trick!

“It’s too hard, it’s too hard, Li Wan is really too hard!”

“Seriously, in the last few rounds of attack and defense, I really feel like Michael Jordan is playing!”

“Now the number of offensive and defensive rounds of basketball, as well as the conversion speed is much faster than in the past, in this case, in the last moment of both the offensive and defensive ends played such an amazing performance, Li Wan really deserves to be ‘God’!”

……

Obviously, it was not just Thibodeau who was subdued, but fans on the Internet were also dumbfounded.

After Barkley commented on the game, he felt that he was not too enjoyable to praise in the TNT studio, and specially posted a real-time update on Twitter: “What a warrior! ”

The major media are also various praises.

While praising Li Wan, Kevin Durant was also ridiculed by the group.

The New York Times, in particular, put two photos, one of which he looked like in a post-match interview and said, “We have no opponents in the East”; There is also a photo of Li Wan who was blasted at a critical moment last night, sitting in a post-match press conference.

This “one positive and one negative” forms a sharp contrast, and the program effect is full.

In fact, since last night, a large number of netizens have appeared under Kevin Durant’s Twitter, leaving exactly the same message, asking Kevin Durant, is there still no opponent in the East?

The already depressed Kevin Durant felt even more panicked when he saw these messages under private messages and Twitter.

But now his mind is full of pictures of himself being completely exploded by Li Wan at a critical moment, and he doesn’t even have the mind to decompress the “keyboard theory” that is usually the most decompressed, tossing and turning in bed, turning over and over and over and can’t sleep.

Finally, it wasn’t until after 5 o’clock in the morning that he slept groggily.

As a result, in the dream, Li Wan did not “let go” of him, and actually staged “Inception”, all kinds of crazy buckles on his head, he didn’t know how many times he was buckled, and when he finally fell to the ground, Li Wan’s cold voice came from his ears:

“You’ll never try to defeat me, Kevin!”

It was this sentence that directly woke up Kevin Durant.

Gasping for air.

My heart is constantly rejoicing:

It’s good to be a dream, it’s good to be a dream!

But he just comforted himself like this, but his nose didn’t sour for a reason.

What just happened is indeed a dream…

But in reality, up to now, hasn’t he defeated Li Wan even once?

It’s not a dream, it’s like a dream!

I really……

Is it impossible to defeat Li Wan?

In fact, after coming to the Bulls last summer, Kevin Durant has always believed that he will definitely not fall into Li Wan’s hands this time.

The phrase “we have no opponents in the east” is also not casual.

I really think so.

Just kidding, he has a regular-season MVP, plus Derek Ross, the quasi-regular-season MVP, plus Jimmy Butler, the endorsement of Lee Wan’s endorsement of Plan B…

Let’s take a look at another Plan B spokesperson that Li Wan is looking for!

In less than two years, he became the NBA’s new regular-season MVP…

In other words, Jimmy Butler is completely the “future regular season MVP”!

In front of the three MVPs, even if Li Wan is a goat, then he should kneel, right?

Don’t mention Chris Bosh and Wiggins, of the two, Chris Bosh is 33 years old, and he has also taken a year off during the period, and he is definitely not at his peak now, at most an All-Star level, and Wiggins is still improving, Kevin Durant himself is good enough, but it took him a lot of time to grow from the “scoring champion” to the “regular season MVP”.

Wiggins’ current stage, let’s put it this way, “half-step all-star”!

Li Wan is just these two helpers, how can he fight with the three of them?

And from the process of the first game, it can also be seen that the Bulls’ sudden change of moves made Chris Bosh and Wiggins directly unfinished, but under such circumstances, Li Wan stood up and blocked the attack of the three of them with the strength of one person…

It is true that there is a blessing of the system of “giving the ball to Li Wan’s tactics”, but this is also too …

Isn’t that awesome?

This is also the reason why Kevin Durant is so desperate.

Can such a guy really be defeated?

However, when the team assembled in the afternoon, Thibodeau was in a good mood, he looked back at last night’s game, reviewed the whole process, and he was sure that with just another ten minutes, the Bulls could definitely beat the Columbus Explorers.

Because Li Wan was indeed already “the end of the strong crossbow” at that time, there was a possibility of collapse at any time, but there was not much time left for the Bulls…

But Mirotic came on as a “surprise soldier”, and that was from the second quarter.

If the first quarter starts, the Bulls can put on a “surprise formation” from the previous game…

Can you see Li Wan being dragged to death?

He was well aware of what public opinion was like, so he made a point of speaking out before the training began.

The effect is still obvious…

This can be seen from Kevin Durant’s expression.

When he first arrived at the arena, the guy’s face was full of frustration, and after Thibodeau finished talking about his discovery, his face began to light up with hope.

It’s like a revival of confidence!

“Guys, believe in yourself, we can walk away from the home of the Columbus Explorers with a win!”

Meanwhile, the Grand Nautical Arena.

The Columbus Explorers have also assembled at the arena to prepare for training.

Wiggins and Chris Bosh looked very serious.

Last night’s battle, judging from the data, their performance was not bad, but from the process point of view, they can say that they have not given Li Wan enough help since the second quarter.

When the whole team replayed the first game together, the two of them looked at their sleepwalking performance, and their faces were hot.

This made their expressions different at the moment, and the training was full of seriousness before.

Even at the end of daily training, when everyone left the stadium one after another, they still ignored it and concentrated on their own training.

The eyes of the two people carried the same fire:

In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, you must give Li Wan enough help!

In the name of “two (three) in charge”!

As night fell, they finished their practice.

And thousands of miles away in San Antonio.

Game 6 of the Spurs-Warriors series is also on schedule.

Popovich is a vengeful man.

Although Leonard was “not” injured, his most beloved disciple was padded, can this hatred not be rewarded?

If you don’t report it, it’s not a spur man!

Steve Cole…

O my foolish apprentice!

Let the teacher teach you one last trick!

The ultimate meaning “off the air conditioner” was used by Popovich.

On the way home, Kevin Durant listened to the radio saying that when the air conditioning at the Spurs’ home court tonight could not be turned on because it was in disrepair, he immediately recalled the Western Conference Finals that year, and he had unforgettable memories of the Spurs.

The same “air conditioner broke”, he played to the end of that game, directly felt that he was wearing a “water suit”, and he himself was like about to dehydrate, as long as the whole person fell down, I was afraid that he would be so tired that he could no longer get up.

In that environment, in the end, he also broke his foot…

Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but shiver.

It’s really too… “devil”!

When he thought that the Warriors were going to play in such a “devil’s home” tonight, he felt a little sorry for Stephen Curry… Well, although in the end in the three-point contest, Stephen Curry still lost to Li Wan, but… Kevin Durant, the person he identifies, will not be easily changed.

When Steve Cole entered the arena, he cursed in anger.

Can he not know what Popovich’s mind really is?

The most important thing is that the Spurs also played 5 minutes late tonight… This meant that the Warriors waited another 5 minutes in this scorching environment.

This will definitely be fined by the Union.

But……

Popovich: 50,000 knives, for a game to win, if you were me, would you change?

The answer doesn’t need to be said at all.

Such a surprise move gave the Spurs a head start.

The opening game was a 7-1 scoring wave.

The sweltering arena makes the Warriors run two steps like gasping, and the “little fast spirit” of the past is nowhere to be seen.

Leonard, who was not “injured”, seemed to really not be “injured”, continuing the state before accidentally letting Pachuria pad his foot hurt in the last game, and hit the ball to the basket in various positions.

At this moment, let alone others, even Popovich felt that his “Tim successor” would really be a machine.

You know, although I entered so late for 5 minutes, about 45 minutes less than the Warriors, what kind of environment is this? In such a hot and uncirculating place, even if you only stay for 10 minutes, it will be uncomfortable, this is human body instinct, just look at what kind of state the “proud son of heaven” is in such an environment.

At this kind of moment, the test is people’s spiritual power…

As long as Leonard stays on the field, it seems that he will not be disturbed by any external factors.

Such a performance surprised Popovich.

The Spurs thus established their lead, which they continued into the end. In Game 6 of the final series, the Spurs relied on the “air conditioning” tactic to defeat the Warriors 109-100 at their home court.

The “Splash” brothers were evaporated in the heat tonight, and the two men made a total of 15 three-pointers, hitting only 3 shots…

As for LeBron James, when he played 6 minutes left in the last quarter tonight, he had a direct leg cramp and was carried down by the team doctor, and before leaving the court, his data was 16 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, just looking at these three statistics, he is still all-round…

But if you study it closely, you will find that it is unbearable… He shot 41 percent from the field, 0 of 6 from three-pointers, and had five turnovers.

In this extremely harsh playing environment, LeBron James has been greatly affected.

The three of them played so badly that even though Green and Iguodala played supernatural and scored at various baskets, they still lost by 9 points.

Steve Cole’s face cried until the game whistle sounded, and when he turned his head, his former mentor Popovich was looking at him with a seemingly evil smile, waiting to shake his hand.

He showed a helpless expression.

I have to admit that his teacher taught him another lesson.

The big score is 3-3 draw!

After the game, LeBron James’s leg cramps were met with a great deal of ridicule.

The reason is also very simple, you LeBron James is known as the “proud son of heaven”, physical talent is the first gear in the history of the entire league, the top, how come everyone else has no leg cramps, but you cramps?

To be honest, these words are a bit inhumane, after all, this is an injury, whether it is fans or the media, it should be more worried about LeBron James’s situation than cynicism.

But……

This is the way of the world.

Just like a basketball novel, every chapter will mention LeBron James, a complete “little sunspot”, so there are many fans who are bored with this and aesthetically tired, and from the appearance of many dissatisfied voices…

Since the frequency of “black” is high, it is necessary to bear the voice of dissatisfaction.

LeBron James is the same, all kinds of marketing he is “the proud son of heaven”, “talent first”, “kings in the world”, and even “self-proclaimed goat”, then he must be spit on when he does not perform well and has criticizing behavior.

This is the case now.

You can’t eat dividends, and you don’t allow others to say it, right?

That would only lead to greater discontent.

Later in LeBron James’s career, his sunspot number skyrocketed, including some “passerby fans” turning “black” more and more frequently, which has a lot to do with his fan criticism.

A small team vividly interpreted those twelve words: question the “rice circle”, understand the “rice circle”, become the “rice circle”…

Of course, the power of the “Zhan Fan” of this world is far less powerful.

But the media company that LeBron James bought is still giving him talent and self-discipline one article after another!

This makes him have leg cramps at the moment, but it has made many media turn on the “spit mode”…

The Spurs and Warriors are sure to play “grab seven.”

The other semifinals in the West ended the “best-of-seven” battle a day later, and in the end, the Hornets came out on top, defeating the Blazers for the second year in a row and advancing to the final Western Conference finals.

The Trail Blazers perfectly strengthened the No. 3 position in the summer and waited for the further growth of No. 2 C.J. McCroom, but still couldn’t climb the mountain of the Hornets.

But……

Portland fans are just as satisfied as they were last year.

The reason is also simple:

“The Hornets haven’t had a win at our home turf!”

“We just lose and have no advantage!”

“Such failures are never failures!”

……

They insisted that this year the Portland Trail Blazers were tied with the Hornets because if there was an eighth game in the series, placed on the home court of the Blazers, they believed the final big score would be 4-4!

They can’t take the Hornets at the New Orleans Arena, and the Hornets can’t take them at Rose Garden.

The Hornets seem to agree, and they gave the Portland Trail Blazers’ biggest Risbai after the game.

Then one by two began to look forward to the Western Conference Finals.

Last year’s “grab seven” lost to the Warriors, which made them very unconvinced.

This year……

Even if the Warriors have LeBron James on board, they firmly believe that they will be able to settle the account with the Warriors!

This time, it’s up to us to fight “Lee”!

Half an hour after the Western Conference semifinals, the second game of the Explorers-Bulls series officially began at the Age of Discovery Arena.

Wiggins and Chris Bosh’s expressions when they came on the court today were the same as the expressions on Young and Sue’s new rap at the peak, full of anger. Just look at their expressions and tell that they want to get back to the field.

And an angry person …

It’s Tyron-Lue!

Although the Columbus Explorers won the last game.

But winning wasn’t so cheerful…

Especially compared to the opposite Thibodeau, he looks more wooden.

Whether it is the decisive replacement of Gibson in the second quarter, the use of Mirotic, or the arrangement of Li Wan in the fourth quarter, even if the second arrangement is not good, but that is because Li Wan is too strong, in the case that the physical trough has turned on a red light, it can also hard top the opponent’s “fire onslaught”, it is simply not a person!

On the other hand, in the first game of Tyronn Lue’s Eastern Conference Finals, there was no arrangement except for the death of Li Wan.

With Li Wan, you can do whatever you want, everyone knows this, but you are also too much to do whatever you want!

As a head coach, Columbus’s lineup played to the end, playing “dead with Li Wan”, is this like words?

You must know the opposite Thibodeau, but the head coach who is famous for defensive tactics, he does not have deep knowledge on the offensive end, it is said that Tyronn Lue, who can figure out the “give the ball to Li Wan tactic”, should not be as bright as Thibodeau on the offensive end!

In addition, the last minute was too greedy for time to let Li Wan rest, almost allowing Kevin Durant to chase the difference to 3 points…

In short, one by one, let the outside media complain!

Naturally, Tyronn Lue wanted to get back on the field.

After careful research, he unleashed his first big move at the beginning of this game…

Before the game, Thibodeau also thought that this time he directly pulled out the Bulls’ new offensive formation, which can definitely take advantage from the opening.

It’s not that he underestimates Tyronn Lue’s ability to adjust.

Instead, he knows very well that Mirotic has a lot of options with Noah, and the outside is full of teammates who can hold the ball and single, no matter which point to pass, it is the endpoint that can guarantee the completion of the shot.

In such a situation, you say, is there any way to limit this set of cooperation for the Bulls?

There can’t be!

Even if there were, it would not have been possible to come up with it so quickly!

But……

Soon Tyron-Lue let Thibodeau know what a “master tactician” is!

For Mirotic’s point, tonight, the Columbus Explorers’ defensive approach is very aggressive, not giving him the opportunity to easily receive the ball in the high post, and after he catches the ball, he uses a bag tactic, forcing him to shoot quickly, not giving him time to find the right teammate…

Mirotic is a veteran who has played in the Europa League for many years, but he is a third-year freshman in the NBA.

The pace of the NBA and the European league is very different, which is why many “European hegemons” come to the NBA and cannot play well.

When Mirotic was subjected to more targeted confrontations and pockets, he was unable to attack at familiar points and could not patiently look for teammates, and his performance was no longer as bright as the first game.

The “dual-drive” Bulls had half as much horsepower at once.

As for Noah’s problem, everyone knows that he can respond, but he does not have such top-level response ability.

For example, if the league’s top strategy is “Sabonis the Great”, then Noah is the equivalent of “Sabonis Jr.”. Of course, compared with the little Sabonis who grew up later, Noah’s strategy is still a little far away.

He is more like his old partner Al Horford, an “inside jack-all”, but where he can be expected to really stand up, it will be somewhat disappointing.

Tyronn Lue’s preparation is much more than that…

In addition to targeting Mirotic, he also targeted Derrick Ross, number one.

In this game, he was very diligent in his rotation of the number one position.

At 4:35 in the first quarter, he replaced Brogdon and took Beverley, and at 7:12 in the first quarter, he took Beverley and replaced George Hill.

Using the “three-man rotation” to deplete Derrick Ross’s physical energy fiercely.

Rose is the guy who could have won the regular season MVP at the age of 21.

Even in the face of such a three-man consumption, he still scored 8 points in a single quarter, but his efficiency and his turnovers were significantly higher than in the first game.

In this way, the “dual drive” of the first game of the Bulls has one less “drive”, and the “three guns” outside are also missing “one gun”. In the first quarter, their fierce attack suddenly became less sharp.

According to the “theory of court relativity”, the Bulls’ offensive momentum has decreased, which is equivalent to the Columbus Explorers’ offensive momentum has become stronger.

At 6:14 in the second quarter, the Columbus Explorers built a 12-point advantage on a steady shot.

Seeing that they can always be so suppressed into the second half.

With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Tyronn Lue replaced Li Wan early to take more rest now.

He didn’t continue to let Li Wan stay on the court to open the point difference, and the Bulls can’t be knocked to death with a stick.

You have to take your time.

And……

Tyron-Lue admits that the Bulls’ “three musketeers” are indeed aggressive, but if, he means if, if Columbus enters the fourth quarter with the current point difference, or even smaller, when the time comes, he will take out the “Li Van bomb” that he has been “meticulous”, how will the Bulls cope?

The moment he high-fived Li Wan and watched Li Wan sit down on the bench and wipe his sweat with a towel, Taryn Lu really wanted to shake a fan in his hand.

His calmness contrasted sharply with the impatience on the other side.

At this moment, Thibodeau’s face could not see his calmness at the beginning of the game.

Now he just wants to shout those five words…

Here’s what to do!

He really didn’t expect the “bass” on the other side to be so resilient.

It’s actually just a sample, so many formations have been taken out, and the effect is so good!

Thibodeau one head and two large.

Kevin Durant is still doing well.

But just because he’s good, it’s still too difficult for the Bulls to win this game…

Derek Ross has to play better efficiently… It should be possible, it will definitely be.

He believed in Derek Ross like he believed in his wife.

He knows what kind of ability Ross has, and he also believes that when Ross adapts to the defense in front of him, he will play better again, and “explosive seeds” are possible!

Half a minute after the game, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and Beverley, who was hi, suddenly mocked Jimmy Butler, who had played tepid so far, Butler looked at him and looked at him, and seemed to be amused by Beverley’s words, but turned his head, and when it was the Bulls’ turn to attack, Jimmy Butler misplaced in front of Beverley and asked, holding him to complete the layup.

Then he turned his head towards Beverly and pressed his face to the output.

Beverly wanted the other party’s reaction, so he didn’t avoid it at all, and the two people had a “kiss” posture in that “mouth-to-mouth” output, but their hands were quite restrained.

The referee saw that this “conflict of reason in the impulse” did not sound the whistle, but only separated the two people.

Unexpectedly, Jimmy Butler got out of control from behind this ball and continued to catch Beverley output.

Second shot, keep going!

Beverley was still a little unconvinced, and turned his head to Butler and sent another “drink on the head”.

For three consecutive rounds, Beverley was directly stunned, and Taryn Lue watched the 12-point gap narrow to 6.

The scene was silent, and Thibodeau, who had pressed the treasure on Derek Ross, was also stunned at the moment.

He must admit that he really does not understand offense.

But……

“Well done, Jimmy, pretty, just fight, just fight!”

Thibodeau didn’t care about this at all.

When Jimmy Butler also plays a “King Bomb” level performance, it means that the Bulls have three “King Bombs”… What kind of game, they have no hope of winning?

Tyronn Lue could only rush to replace Beverley.

When the “mad dog” comes down, he subconsciously hides from people. That frustrated look was as if someone had kicked him fiercely.

Li Wan returned to the field less than a minute later.

Jimmy Butler played with confidence and then hardened, even though Levan quickly continued his offensive form, only to stretch the gap back to nine points before halftime.

Taryn Luna was angry, and after returning he pointed at “PayPal” and cursed: “What do you say you provoked that rush for?” ”

Is “sharp pulling” stimulating?

Li Wan offered to defend Jimmy Butler, and Taryn Lue agreed.

The effect is still obvious, in the first 6 minutes of the second half, under Li Wan’s focused defense, Jimmy Butler, who exploded in the second half of the second quarter, died down, only scored 3 points in 6 shots, and was covered by Li Wan in person.

He wasn’t as mature as he was later…

In addition, Tyronn Lue continued to change formations in the third quarter, pushing the Bulls with a large amount of the ball into Kevin Durant’s hands.

Kevin Durant ended up scoring 15 points in the third quarter alone, plus 17 in the first half, and before the start of the fourth quarter, he had 32 points, and if nothing else, he will score another 40 points in this game…

But the result…

Something went wrong!

At the end of the third quarter, Tyronn Lue looked at Kevin Durant’s data sheet, not only did not panic, but even wanted to laugh a little.

Because at the end of the third quarter, Kevin Durant has played 30 minutes on the court and shot more than 20 times, if you count the number of fouls, then he has shot more than 25 times, and on the defensive end he and Jimmy Butler are the main force in defending Li Wan…

Such a consumption at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is definitely not small for a big man who is more than 2 meters 11 meters accustomed to outside play!

So……

It’s time to close the net!

Taryn Lu revealed tonight’s ultimate killing move: the other way, the other body!

Your Excellency’s style of play against Li Wan at both ends of the last last game is indeed very sharp, and now, I use this trick on Kevin Durant, I don’t know if Your Excellency and Kevin Durant can stand it!

The answer was revealed in the fourth quarter at 7 minutes and 15 seconds…

Kevin Durant: I’ve tried my best, but I really can’t eat anymore!

He broke through with the ball, but was covered by Brogdon and the ball, and at that moment, Kevin Durant, who was lying on the ground, really wanted to cover the quilt and sleep directly.

His lead-filled legs and sore and swollen arms reminded him that his body was overloaded!

This round is also the final round of the whole game.

With Kevin Durant down, and Jimmy Butler falling into a slump after being contained by Liwan, the entire Bulls’ “trident” was left with only Derek Rose.

He did break out, but he had already consumed so much fitness in the “wheel war” that Tyronn Lue had prepared for him, which made him simply unable to “support a team alone”.

Especially when the opposite “Liwan bloodline” opened, all kinds of “position, position”, took the Bulls away in an instant.

122 to 111.

With an 11-point difference, the Columbus Explorers take another home court, and then they will travel to Chicago with a big 2-0 score for the third game of the series.

Kevin Durant lowered his head again.

In the end, his score was fixed at 39 points, which was 1 point away from 40 points, which is good, but he cut 32 points in the first three quarters, but only cut 7 points in the final and most crucial fourth quarter…

It is far from Li Wan’s 16 points in the fourth quarter.

Most importantly, he was treated the same way as Li Wan in the fourth quarter, and he was able to survive until the last minute…

From personal performance, to energy at key moments, and mental power, Kevin Durant was defeated, making his already heavy head heavier.

In addition to him, Derek Rose had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, which was a bit better than the previous game.

But now the situation is that if the Bulls want to win, Derrick Rose alone is not enough to play like this, he has to get better!

And in addition…

Jimmy Butler!

He broke out in the second half of the second quarter, and he beat Beverley, and finally finished with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, which was not much better than the previous game. However, his explosive power surprised many people.

After the game, a reporter from the Bulls suggested in an interview with Thibodeau: “If Jimmy Butler can still play the second half of the second quarter, can he be used as a strategic point!” ”

You know, at that time, the Explorer team directly used Li Wan to defend him!

If Jimmy Butler can attract Leewan’s defense, isn’t Kevin Durant completely liberated?

Thibodeau looked at him deeply, and there was a little more thought in his eyes, this reporter’s words are indeed worth studying…
