MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 289 end of season
February 13.
On the last day before the All-Star Weekend, the curtain of the regular season closed, and all the heroes who participated in the All-Star Weekend came to New York one after another.
New York, which has been bustling for half a month, is even more shining now.
After Li Wan made an appointment to have dinner with Conley and Oden, he took the initiative to find Stephen Curry: "Dude, congratulations on becoming the All-Star starter..."
Curry was also very excited, but what he was more curious about was what Li Wan wanted him for.
Li Wan didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Dude, is your sneaker contract with Nike about to expire? Are you interested in joining Plan B?"
"Primary school student" froze for a moment.
He didn't expect Li Wan to come because of this matter.
its not right!
He said: "You should have news inside Nike, right? You should know why they didn't renew my contract..."
nike has a special star rating system.
In this set of assessments, Stephen Curry's upper limit is only a second-rate star.
This set of evaluations is evaluated from various dimensions. Although sometimes there will be "fish that slipped through the net", but more often, it can indeed allow Nike to avoid a lot of risks.
All in all there are pros and cons...
The downside is that because of this system, they let Stephen Curry go and let Under Armor take advantage of it.
Plan b is a sub-brand of Nike, Li Wan does know Nike's assessment of Stephen Curry.
But their evaluations are no match for Li Wan's "Sky Eye". He knows very well what kind of energy is in Stephen Curry who supports Under Armor alone.
He is definitely impossible to miss.
So he said very firmly: "I don't trust any comments, I only believe in my eyes, and my eyes are the ruler. In my opinion, you have a place in the future NBA, so..."
"Join plan b, let's fight a beautiful turnaround together!"
While speaking, Li Wan has been observing Stephen Curry.
After he finished these words, Curry was obviously moved.
When people are alive, don't they just fight for one breath?
As Li Wan said, it's a beautiful turnaround!
Ever since, Li Wan hit the iron while the iron was hot and stated his contract conditions: "For a three-year signing fee of 20 million, I will also give you signed shoes, and 15% of the sneakers will go to you..."
20 million in 3 years, which is nearly 7 million a year.
It doesn't look high, and it doesn't fit Stephen Curry's current status as an All-Star starter.
But because of his injury problems, many brands now avoid him. Even the final transaction price of Under Armour, which was fishing in troubled waters, was actually only 4 million...
Later, after Curry won the championship for 15 years, Under Armor added another 1 million to him, and gave him another 15% share of the signature shoes.
Compared with Under Armor's offer, I can't doubt how sincere Li Wan's offer is. Didn't you see that Curry's face was more or less surprised and unexpectedly excited?
He really didn't expect Li Wan to sign him, let alone Li Wan even thought about the price. And so sincere.
between…
Is it really true?
Am I dreaming?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it is impossible to dream so beautifully!
Um…
It is impossible to be so beautiful in a dream!
After Li Wan left, he immediately called his father.
After his father listened patiently, he brought Curry's agent to New York that afternoon.
"Sign it, son, there's no hesitation!" Old Curry meant to sign, "Don't forget, you can make this All-Star because of their saying that they want to vote three times with you on the logo in the middle circle." point!"
With such a big influence, if you follow along, you will definitely have soup to drink!
The love of parents is far-reaching.
Stephen Curry is well aware of how bad his ankle injury is, and who knows if the next game will be the last game of his career.
At this time, his thinking is that it is a little bit to get a little bit.
Curry's agent had a little more thought. He felt that he should take the quotation contract given by Li Wan to talk to Nike or other brands: "This is an opportunity!"
It's just that as soon as the words came out, the old Curry didn't say anything, and Curry was anxious: "No, no, we can't do this!"
This is too unreasonable!
Li Wan gave him enough respect, but in the end he used people as "stepping stones" after changing hands... He couldn't do such a thing.
and…
"I think plan b is a good fit for me..."
Let's fight a beautiful turnaround together!
Li Wan's words echoed in his ears.
In fact, this is the sentence that really touched Stephen Curry.
Because from the time he started learning basketball to the present, he has indeed always been "Plan B" as others have said. When Duke tried out that year, the old K thought he was too thin to play in high-level leagues, and finally passed him.
he thinks…
Like Li Wan, turn yourself from plan b into plan a!
The old Curry noticed the momentum in his eyes, and made a decision again: "Okay, that's the decision, sign plan b!"
In this way, Li Wan reached a verbal agreement with Curry, and when Curry's contract with Nike expires this summer, he will switch to plan b.
On February 14, the All-Star Weekend officially started.
On the first day of the Rookie Challenge, Lillard won the final "Rookie Challenge mvp". Facing the reporter's interview, he said: "A kid from Orlando, I hope I can become the next Li Wan!"
On the second day, as the host, Li Wan led the team to participate in the "Shooting Star". A "logo three-pointer" detonated the audience that night, and became the most impressive scene on the second day of the All-Stars.
In addition, whether it is the skills challenge, the three-point shooting contest, or the slam dunk contest, there is no impressive memory point.
Especially the slam dunk contest, it is even more complaining, it is really impossible to find some professional dunk future!
Sign someone a two-way contract or something...
After all, it's better than watching some action that doesn't feel fresh here.
Because of this, after the end of the second day of the All-Star Weekend, the media reporters complained again and again.
If it weren't for the end of the All-Star Weekend, I'm afraid that the hat of "the worst All-Star Weekend in the past five years" has already been worn on New York's head.
Faced with these complaints, the New York media did not panic at all. Like the Knicks fans, they silently recited the same sentence:
It doesn't matter, Li Wan will make a move anyway!
New York fans: nonono, follow me, d, i, a~o, hang up, don't worry, anyway, Li Wan will make a move!
Li Wan watched the crazy praise of the New York media, and immediately felt Alexander, but as the "host", he really had to consider the quality of the All-Stars.
Then tomorrow's All-Star Game...
After thinking for a while, Li Wan already paid attention in his heart, and his eyes became firm.
In this way, amidst the complaints and expectations, February 16th, the third day of the All-Star Weekend, arrived.
Compared with the previous two days, the auditorium on the sidelines tonight is even more star-studded.
After Kevin Durant played, he has been haunted, because in the sidelines of the audience, he saw the face that was thinking day and night, the cold white face was expressionless, and the bright red lips were eye-catching.
It was none other than "Miss Widow" Scarlett.
The eyes of the two were still in contact for a moment, and Kevin Durant was sure that Scarlett had seen him, but just as he was about to say hello, Scarlett turned her face away at the speed of light.
Kevin Durant, who had raised his hand at this time, looked extremely embarrassed.
Fortunately, a fan next to him thought Kevin Durant was greeting him and responded positively, which made Kevin Durant less embarrassed...
No wonder!
He looked at Scarlett who turned her head, and secretly swore in his heart: Today you ignore me, tomorrow...
It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw Scarlett, who had been expressionless, suddenly burst into a smile. This smile immediately made Kevin Durant feel that he was in love.
The words in my heart also became: Tomorrow, tomorrow I will lick until you can't afford to kneel!
Scarlett, I want to drink your bath water!
As Kevin Durant swallowed, the cheers grew louder after another.
It was also at this time that Durant realized that it was no wonder that Scarlett smiled so beautifully, and it was Li Wan who appeared on the stage.
gtmd Li Wan!
wait and see!
Kevin Durant, who had already thought about this All-Star Game, made up his mind to win the All-Star MVP trophy in front of New York fans!
Because when the reporter interviewed Li Wan before the game, he was listening not far away. When the reporter asked Li Wan if he would work hard for the All-Star mvp tonight, Li Wan gave an affirmative answer: "This is My home field, so, of course!"
Li Wan has offended me so many times now...
It should also give me a boost!
But when the game started, Kevin Durant was startled when he saw Li Wan's determination to win the All-Star mvp. Not only was he startled, but the fans were also taken aback.
After all, after Li Wan won the MVP of the All-Star Game, he has never been able to exert himself on this stage. So far, except for the year when he won the All-Star MVP, in these All-Star Games that Li Wan participated in, the score The game with the most points was only 16 points, and the game with the fewest points was only 8 points.
Even though he is the host this time, he also said before the game that he has thoughts about this All-Star MVP trophy. But everyone really didn't expect that Li Wandan scored 17 points in the first quarter alone.
It has already scored higher than any competition that did not win the All-Star MVP.
Seeing him so slated to win, the rest of the East's All-Star team began to play for him more, to put on the show, starting in the second quarter.
During the All-Star Weekend, it was all about being a man of the world.
For example, before the 2003 All-Stars started, everyone knew that this was the All-Stars who accompanied Michael Jordan to "study"; for the 2006 All-Stars, the Western Conference is also fully cooperating with McGrady to take the All-Stars mvp...
Needless to say, Li Wan's current status in the arena.
He wants to win this year's All-Star mvp, who dares to compete with him?
Even if there is a sneaky person who wants to engage in "old six" behavior, he can't escape D'Antoni's eyes. As the head coach of this year's Eastern Conference All-Star team, he has been observing the situation.
For example, a certain No. 6, without the possession of the ball, was walking on the court. He saw it and immediately replaced him.
Maybe he doesn't care, not playing will help him rest.
But there is always someone who wants to fight!
This year's Eastern Conference bench has a bunch of emerging forces.
After all, there are those who are willing to play with Li Wan!
In this way, with the help of "good karma", Li Wan scored another 14 points in the second quarter. One person scored 30 points in the first half, and the various "scoring shows" were dazzling.
After the performance in the first half alone, the outside world's criticism of this year's All-Star Weekend suddenly reversed.
They left messages one after another, admitting that they had spoken too loudly before, so it turned out that the big ones were left here!
Speaking of which, I have to thank Popovich for his cooperation...
This guy saw that Li Wan was in such a hurry, so he deliberately wanted to give Li Wan strength. With his eyesight, he couldn't see who was working **** the field in the Western All-Star lineup.
Ever since, he put all these people on the field.
For example, those led by Kevin Durant...
They can watch fun, waste their physical strength, and let the Spurs' old All-Stars rest, why not do it?
Popovich smiled!
In their unrelenting confrontation, this game was far more heated than the average regular season.
It's a real job, and it's a group of stars. When it feels like it's all kinds of unreasonable goals, it's an eye-stimulating one. You think, can the fans shout "excellent" after watching it?
Kevin Durant ended up scoring 23 points in the first half.
With their hard work, even though Li Wan scored 30 points, the Eastern Conference only led by 6 points 66-60.
As soon as the second half came up, the atmosphere calmed down a bit. Li Wan and Curry first paid off the debts owed to the fans. The two confronted each other on the logo at the center line for two or three rounds, and finally Li Wanxian made a "logo three-pointer". end.
Then, the two sides began to confront each other again.
Li Wan's form tonight was good enough, but Kevin Durant on the opposite side also turned on the "death mode", and his response one after another was exciting.
The two confronted each other all the way.
The point difference has been floating between 6 and 9 points in their continuous goals.
At 8 minutes and 45 seconds of the fourth quarter, with Kevin Durant hitting another three-pointer, the point difference was even closer to 4 points.
A close-up shot of the scene showed Kevin Durant who was on defense. After hitting the three-pointer, he looked determined, as if he regarded this as a war.
Scarlett on the sidelines suddenly got up at this time and shouted at him: "Damn it, give up, even if you win the game, you won't be able to drink my mother's bath water!"
With just one sentence, Kevin Durant, who was comparable to "Thor's Hammer" and "Decided to Kill", was stunned and dizzy at that time, and his movements also slowed down a lot.
Watching Li Wan break through Deron Williams and rush into the basket from his side.
"Boom!"
A heavy one-handed snap.
The point difference returned to 6 points.
The Eastern All-Stars defended against the Western All-Stars' subsequent attack, did not give another chance, and won the final victory with a 132-120, 12-point difference.
In the final attack of the Eastern All-Stars, Li Wan scored. His iconic mid-range jumper opened the point difference to 12 points and also allowed him to score 50 points.
This is the start of the NBA All-Star Game, the first time a player has scored 50 points on this stage.
The New York fans at the scene couldn't hold back anymore, and cheered everywhere:
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
…
Li Wan embraced these cheers with open arms.
Under the lights of the arena, he smiled profusely while sweating profusely.
Scarlett, who "should decide the outcome", looked at the smiling man in front of her, sat down contentedly, and watched him accept the worship from fans from all directions in the arena.
She didn't notice at all that Kevin Durant was also looking at her, his eyes full of resignation.
Stinky woman!
"Xiao Shuai" cursed fiercely.
"Let's congratulate Li Wan for being the mvp of the 2013 All-Star Weekend!"
There was no suspense. Li Wan, who scored 50 points and led the team to victory, won the second All-Star MVP trophy in his career after the game.
The host asked him to deliver his acceptance speech, and he said: "I hope this performance is enough to make you remember that this year's All-Star Game is in New York, it is a success!"
Cheers filled Madison Square Garden as he dropped the microphone.
The fans in the auditorium responded to Li Wan's words with positive shouts.
If such an All-Star game is not successful enough, their New York fans will definitely not agree!
Judging from the comments on the Internet, not only the fans at the scene thought it was a success, but all the fans who watched the All-Star Game tonight thought it was a success.
Including those fans who complained about this year's All-Star Weekend before, they also changed their minds after this game.
The New York media couldn't help but burst into tears looking at the criticism that Li Wan single-handedly reversed:
Li Wan, it's great to have you in New York!
In this way, with the end of the All-Star Game, this year's All-Star Weekend has officially come to an end.
As usual, as the All-Star weekend came to an end, the nba free trade market also closed its doors.
Compared with previous years, this season's free trade market was a little quieter in the 24 hours before closing the door, with no big deals happening. It's no wonder that many media predicted before the start of the new season that the Lakers and Spurs would rebuild or age this season, but instead became the "dark horses" in the West. Without a team that collapsed, transactions would naturally be impossible to talk about.
The only deal that caused discussion was the signing of Tracy McGrady by the Spurs at the buzzer.
Use a "basic salary veteran" contract.
It's embarrassing that the league's top scorer, who was once glorious, has been reduced to this field in just a few years.
However, some media published a report that raised a question: McGrady and Yao Ming, who delayed whom?
The discussion caused by this issue is obviously much louder than the discussion after the exposure of the Spurs' signing of Tracy McGrady.
The answer from the New York media was: Yao Ming cooperated with Tracy McGrady in the Western Conference semifinals; Yao Ming cooperated with Li Wan and won the finals. Tell me... who delayed who!
There is a saying, whoever protects the celebrity of the family!
As a major contributor to the third championship in the history of the New York Knicks, it is naturally impossible for the New York media to let the answer become "Yao dragged down McGrady".
Compared with the strong protection of the New York media, McGrady is a bit miserable.
Although he has played for three or four teams, none of the team's media is willing to give him a voice...
This made his "old age" in the league even more bleak.
Li Wan's first reaction after learning that McGrady joined the Spurs as before was:
Steady!
This is equivalent to adding a layer of "debuff" for the Spurs!
Maddie is really poisonous!
No matter what kind of situation, he can be ashamed.
"Reversal" seems to be something engraved in his blood. Of course, more often than not he is reversed.
On February 18th, the New York Knicks restarted their regular season journey. Vince Carter finally came back. All journeys.
Just before the All-Star Weekend, they lost a total of 3 games, plus this 5-game winning streak, their record in February was 9 wins and 3 losses, not the team with the best record in the East.
The Heat lost just one game all of February.
With 28.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.5 blocks, LeBron James won his first "best of the month" this season, ending Li Wan's "triple" record.
However, after the official announcement of the award, he said directly: "In my opinion, this award should not only belong to me, but also to my good brother Dwyane, and Chris, we got it together This award, especially, I want to talk about Dwyane again, without his sacrifice, there would not be such a strong Heat team, I hope everyone will not underestimate his ability because of this!"
This "brotherly love" speech directly caused Wade to fall into the trap. He grabbed LeBron and hugged him several times in a row. While embracing, he choked up and shouted: "Good brother, good brother!"
Li Wan noticed the abnormal scene of LeBron James.
In his impression, during the recent period, LeBron James has been helping Wade speak, which made him a little puzzled: Could it be that the relationship between the two brothers has become stronger because of greater setbacks? alright?
Um…
Then I'll work harder and see if I can bend these two brothers!
Li Wan's motivation to win the championship has been increased by 1!
Chris Bosh watched these two perform "brotherhood" in front of him, and there was only one feeling: I shouldn't be in the locker room, I should be outside the locker room.
No, not right!
I shouldn't be outside the locker room, I shouldn't be on the Heat!
What!
Let me see the memo, how far away from leaving the Heat...
132 days!
Soon, soon!
I'm about to be free!
Seeing this number, Chris Bosh was agitated at the time, and one of them couldn't hold back and cried out loud. LeBron and Wade thought that Bosh was moved by their "brotherhood" and pulled him together. come over.
The three cried together.
However, although the Heat's record in February was very good, losing two games less than the New York Knicks, Li Wan and the Knicks were not worried.
The advantages they accumulated in the first few months are enough for them to complete the rest of the schedule at their own pace, while maintaining their No. 1 position in the regular season.
You know, even though the Heat only lost 1 game in February, they are still 5 games behind the New York Knicks.
Not to mention the other teams in the Eastern Conference. Starting from the 6th place in the Eastern Conference, the win gap has already exceeded double digits.
On March 15, with 15 games left in the season, the New York Knicks secured a playoff berth early. It means that even if they lose all the next 15 games, they can still enter the playoffs as the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
On April 2, the New York Knicks secured the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference six games ahead of schedule.
This is the No. 1 seat in the league. It was not confirmed until April 10, with 3 games left in the schedule.
The Thunder are really strong this year. After briefly handing over the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference to the Spurs, they regained the position and only lost one game in March, narrowing the gap with the New York Knicks. In 4 games, the New York Knicks felt a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, the New York Knicks have already recovered from the downturn in early February, withstood the pressure of the Thunder, and finally had the last laugh with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses.
On April 15th, as the Jazz and the Lakers played the last game on the official NBA schedule, the 2012-2013 NBA regular season came to an end.
The quarterfinals of the East and West are officially determined.
In the East, compared with last season, the head has not changed much. The New York Knicks are still in the first place, and the Bulls are slightly weaker, but they are also in the third place. The second is the Heat.
Only from the third place, this change is a bit big.
The first is the departure of Kevin Garnett, which caused the Nets to slip to the seventh place in the Eastern Conference;
The Pacers, the representative player of the Eastern Youth Army, took advantage of the end of the season to overtake the Magic and ranked fourth, driving the Magic to fifth.
The sixth is the Eagles who traded the "Eagle King".
Originally, they planned to rebuild, but they didn't expect that after building and building, they actually killed the sixth place.
With "Eagle King" they ranked sixth, without "Eagle King" they still ranked sixth, this "Eagle King"...
Joe Johnson's reputation is being persecuted again...
The eighth is also a new face.
In the third season after Chris Bosh left, the "King of the North" Toronto Raptors returned to the ranks of the playoffs under the leadership of DeRozan and Lowry.
It is also worth mentioning that the Bobcats are the team with the lowest record in the Eastern Conference this season, and they are also the team with the lowest record in the entire league. In the history of this team, there has never been a "No. 1 pick".
That is to say...
The 2013 No. 1 pick this summer is likely to be theirs, and Li Wan also hopes to be theirs, because... the 2013 No. 1 pick bumped into Michael Jordan, the picture is so beautiful, Li Wan really wants to see it!
Compared with the changing eastern pattern.
The changes in the west side are not very big.
The top five are still the Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Clippers, and Grizzlies, but the rankings between them have changed a bit, becoming the Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Grizzlies, and Clippers Team.
It was not until the sixth position that new faces appeared. —The "Youth Storm" Warriors from Golden State.
It's just that the seventh is an old face again, the eighth Salt Lake City Jazz last season;
The eighth is also an old face-Portland Trail Blazers!
Originally, because of Oden's injury, this team once fell out of the top eight, but after the All-Star Weekend, Oden came back, and with the stable twin towers, they returned to the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs.
The "Ohio Four" once again made it to the playoffs.
Following the schedule of the top eight seats in the East and West, various "data kings" of this season will also be released together.
Li Wan averaged 37.1 minutes of playing time per game this season, scoring 36.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.8 blocks. He shot 55.8% from the field, 43.2% from three-pointers, and 92.4% from free throws!
Among them, the average playing time per game, average points per game, average steals per game, average field goal percentage per game, and average free throw percentage per game have all created new career highs.
Such exaggerated data also allowed Li Wan to win this season's "Scoring Champion", "Assists Champion", and "Stealing Champion". This is the first time in NBA history that a player has achieved this.
Li Wan took the "first blood" in NBA history again.
And when a reporter asked him if this was the best regular season of his career, Li Wan said bluntly: "Of course!"
Not to mention the overall improvement of most of the data.
What's even more exaggerated is that Li Wan's efficiency has not been affected at all when the average playing time has increased by two or three minutes per game. The scariest thing is to enter the "180 Club" for the second time in his career!
In fact, this is also forced.
After the All-Star Weekend, the Thunder performed so well that even Kevin Durant's reputation has picked up a lot, posing a threat to him winning the regular season mvp again.
Although the level of threat does not make Li Wan feel pressured.
But under the circumstances that Li Wan is bound to win this year's regular season mvp, he does not allow a little potential factor to threaten him to get this award.
Therefore, after March, Li Wan took the initiative to increase his playing time, which also allowed him to play even more exaggerated statistics.
Judging from his reputation after the end of the season, Li Wan gave himself 100 points for this wave of active changes in response to potential threats.
David Stern also gave him 1 percent.
Such awesomeness, not in vain. Since "Night of Becoming a God", he has been building momentum for him.
As for the other data kings...
The "rebound king" belongs to Howard, averaging 12.4 rebounds per game. He can get this award thanks to Love's injury.
In the matter of grabbing rebounds, others don't know about Love's skills, but Li Wan is convinced anyway.
The "block king" belongs to Yin Baka, and the "three-point king" belongs to Curry. He has thrown 272 three-pointers this season!
It is worth mentioning that this season's "Iron Fighting List" has a new player.
This season's "Iron King" belongs to "Thunder Three" Westbrook.
The young master's style of play has really changed from a "little turtle" to an "old turtle".
On April 16, the second day after the end of the season, the official announced the "Best Rookie" of the season for the first time. Without any surprises, this award belongs to Lillard.
This is also the rookie with the lowest pick of the "Best Rookie" after Li Wan in 2007.
Lillard once again stated that he would target Li Wan and move on.
In front of Li Wan, the domineering "Director Li" has become a "little brother of Li", which makes Li Wan consider whether to sign him into Plan B.
Anyway, if you really want to talk about the temperament of "I can't help it", Lillard must have it.
But if he really wants to sign, Li Wan is really not sure if he can get it, mainly...
too expensive!
In 14 years, that is, next year, Adidas spent 100 million yuan to **** Lillard.
In the initial stage of plan b, Li Wanke couldn't offer such a price.
Subsequently, this season's "Most Improved Player Award" was also freshly released, belonging to Paul George.
Danny Granger is still injured as before, and it is still a serious injury at the level of reimbursement for the season.
Just when the Indiana media thought that the Pacers had to accompany the league again this season, Paul George stood up and averaged 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, giving new hope to the "cornfield".
With such an outstanding performance, he was selected as a substitute for this year's Eastern Conference All-Star.
Now he has also won the "Most Improved Player Award".
But this award is really poisonous. Everyone who won this award was injured. Paul George also failed to break out of this rule. The broken leg injury when he was training with the national team in the future made people feel that he was gone.
As a result, he turned the injury into a "background board", "rebirth from a broken leg", and became a player at the mvp level in the regular season again.
April 18.
The awards are almost over, and the curtain of the playoffs has officially opened.
The New York Knicks at home ushered in their opponents in the first round of the playoffs:
Toronto Raptors.
Although the "Trash Brothers" have brought the Raptors to a new height, it cannot be said that there is no threat to the New York Knicks, it can only be said that it is not felt.
The pre-match predictions of the major media are all 4-0!
Speaking of which, Li Wan increased his playing time in March because his opponents in the first round of the playoffs were not strong.
Whether it's the Raptors, the Eagles at the time, or the Bucks, the 76ers...
It's all the same shape for the New York Knicks:
4-0!
The "trash brothers" are naturally not convinced by the media's predictions.
They want to prove themselves, but...
A week later, it turned out that although they had intentions, they were powerless.
Not surprisingly, the New York Knicks swept the Toronto Raptors 4-0.
"Trash Brothers" were really called "garbage" in this round of the series.
DeRozan, who averaged 18.1 points per game in the regular season, averaged only 14.4 points per game in this round of the series, and his field goal percentage dropped from 44.5% per game in the regular season to 40.4%!
Lowry's situation is similar. In the second half of the regular season, Lowry scored 20 points in 7 games in 8 games and won the nickname "Small Steel Cannon". Facing Beverly's full-court bite, Lowry averaged only 9.8 points per game. Points, not even 40% shooting...
After this round of the series, Toronto not only lost this season, but also the next season. Anyway, based on the performance of the "garbage brothers", no one would think that their future can be expected.
Except for themselves...
After the fourth game of the series, Lowry's "touching the head" to DeRozan and DeRozan's healed expression were really touching.
Anyway, Li Wan watched this scene.
I always feel that the relationship between them is much stronger than Wade and LeBron...
At least no matter which one, they didn't backstab each other after they separated, but they still miss each other's youth from time to time.
Li Wan and the two hugged each other with high fives, and left Toronto with Knicks.
He played this series with ease.
As for how easy it is...
You can tell by looking at the data. In 4 games, he averaged 27.5 points, 8 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 2 blocks per game. Maybe this stat doesn’t look like much at first glance, it’s a lot worse than Li Wan’s average per game in the regular season, but if we add another premise...
This is the data that Li Wan played in an average of 30.5 minutes per game. Does it feel different immediately?
The Raptors really couldn't withstand the impact of the New York Knicks!
In 4 games, the average score difference was 28.5 points.
Among them, the first and fourth games of the series were finished in the third quarter, and the New York Knicks withdrew all the main players, because at that time, the lead of the New York Knicks had already exceeded 30 points.
Of course, what satisfied Li Wan the most was Danny Green's performance.
DeRozan's poor performance was all defended by Green. Although Li Wan was also on the flank, but watching him deal with DeRozan calmly, Li Wan knew very well that this guy started with the New York Knicks after a season. After a lot of training, the experience pool finally rose to a certain size.
The "shortest board" on the defensive end in the New York Knicks starter is not short now!
Except the Knicks swept the Raptors 4-0.
The current situation of the other three matchups in the first round of the Eastern Conference is as follows: the Heat lead the Nets 3-1; the Bulls lead the Eagles 3-1; the Magic and the Pacers are tied 2-2.
In the first two groups of duels, the strength of the higher-ranked teams was significantly stronger than their opponents, including the Heat and the Nets.
Although the Nets have three All-Star players, Chris Paul, Pierce and Lopez, the conflict between Paul and Pierce has become increasingly serious and has reached the point of irreconcilability. As long as the team falls behind, These two will often start fighting for the ball.
The balance of victory and defeat is often completely dumped on the Heat here.
After the Magic and the Pacers played 4 games, it can be described in three words:
50-50!
The "Eagle King" was persecuted again. When he faced Paul George, he played very hard. To be honest, when seeing this scene, the general manager of the Magic team in the office felt that last year's contract was too big...
This is the case here in the East.
In the West, the Thunder also easily advanced to the next round with a 4-0 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Oden was once again defeated by Kevin Durant. At the press conference after the game, he said very frustrated: "This repeated failure is tiresome. This is not what I want to see. I don't want to experience similar Failed!"
The signal released in these words made the Portland media feel a sense of crisis, and the phone in the general manager's office of the Trail Blazers was rang off half an hour later.
The other three groups: the Spurs lead the Jazz 3-1; the Lakers lead the Warriors 3-1; the Grizzlies lead the Clippers 3-1;
All "3-1" leads, the most surprising of which is the matchup between the Grizzlies and the Clippers.
It's not that they didn't expect the Grizzlies to take the lead.
There are actually many media experts who think that the Grizzlies will win the final victory.
But almost no one thinks that after four games, they will lead the Clippers 3-1.
