Finally, at the end of the first quarter, Chris Bosh scored 11 points in a single quarter, in addition to 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Full of presence.

Under his performance, the New York Knicks ended the first quarter and also led by 9 points.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Derrick Rose scored 9 points in a row, helping the team close the point difference to 5 points.

The adjustments Mike Brown yelled several times on the sidelines failed to achieve the desired effect, and he was about to call for a timeout. At this time, Li Wan stepped forward, first singled out Jimmy Butler, shaking the latter's center of gravity with rhythm, and then went to the free throw line. One step away, a jumper hit.

The point difference was re-extended to 7 points.

Turning his head, Derrick Rose continued to break through Beverly with the ball.

Beverley is known for his "death entanglement" in the league, and even entered the "Best Defense" team this season.

You know, in fact, he only entered once for the first team, plus 2 times for the second team.

But now, after only two years of starting with Li Wan, he has already entered the first and second teams. His growth rate and experience in big scenes are much better than before.

But even so, in the face of Derrick Rose who escaped injury, the "biting" he has always been best at has not had any obvious effect.

Still the same sentence, in front of talent, hard work can't form a good limit.

Moreover, the Bulls have specially equipped Derrick Rose with a special offensive system. In almost every round, inside players will spontaneously come up to pick and roll Rose.

Also under the specially matched pick-and-roll system, Derrick Rose's breakthrough is even more powerful.

"Boom!"

With a one-arm dunk, Derrick Rose went straight up and down, completing his signature "unframed dunk", reducing the score back to 5 points again.

The New York Knicks continued to give the ball to Li Wan. Facing Jimmy Butler, Li Wan was not lucky this time, but directly broke through with the ball, but Jimmy Butler fell back and wanted to distance himself from Li Wan. , when he continued to stay in front of Li Wan, Li Wan "quickly drew his gun" and made another mid-range jumper, successfully completing the shot.

"Shua!"

Another goal!

Mike Brown's hand, which had originally signaled for a timeout, had been tightly clenched into a fist, and he shook it hard.

s!

The cheers at the scene are also one after another...

Li Wan once again proved with practical actions, what is meant by "it doesn't matter, anyway, Li Wan will make a move"!

As Derrick Rose's breakthrough in the next round was successfully intercepted, the Bulls' counterattack in the second quarter was just suppressed.

The New York Knicks continued to give the ball to Chris Bosh to handle.

Boozer, who just played two rounds, started having "nightmare" again...

Chris Bosh didn't know whether he was in a particularly good state tonight, or he was excited when he beat Boozer.

Then he continued his strong performance in the first quarter. Before the end of the first half, he scored another 7 points, which means that his final score in the first half was 18 points, in addition to 5 rebounds and 2 assists...

This performance is no longer just the performance of the "team's second leader"!

This is clearly the performance of the "team leader"!

The New York Knicks also took advantage of the trend to open the point difference to 11 points.

But LeBron James looked at Chris Bosh's performance and the point difference between the two teams, but he just wanted to say:

If Li Wan gives me this, I won't win?

Chris Bosh's statistics in the first half were undoubtedly outstanding.

Even compared with Li Wan's 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, it's not much worse.

But LeBron James can see very clearly that the few rounds in which Li Wan stood up basically had two characteristics. The first characteristic is that the opponent is forming a counterattack; When targeting Chris Bosh.

That is to say, when Chris Bosh was being taken care of or the opponent formed a counterattack, it was Li Wan who stood up and scored to help Chris Bosh relieve the pressure...

After being successful and retired, he "hid his merit and fame" and devoted himself to the cause of defense...

This is not over yet, the two assists Chris Bosh got in the first half were all scored by Li Wan who caught the ball in time when his breakthrough was restricted.

These…

Isn't it what he is best at?

Speaking of the ability to break through with the ball, can Chris Bosh compare with LeBron James?

Besides, this passing ability is LeBron James' old line!

No, why does this guy own Li Wan?

The more LeBron James thought about it, the more sour he felt, as if he had eaten a lemon.

Because someone like Li Wan who doesn't have possession of the ball, can stand up at critical moments, and can catch and shoot the ball, isn't he the most complementary partner?

This should be a gift from God to him!

why now...

Instead, he became Chris Bosh's partner, making this "long neck monster" cheaper?

There must have been some stubble, or some misunderstanding!

If we say that before the start of this game, LeBron James came to the scene just to follow the team's opinion, and came to the sidelines to make a sense of presence in order to maintain the heat. So at this moment, after watching half of the game, he really had an urge to play with Li Wan in his heart.

He couldn't wait to call his agent and explain his thoughts.

This is naturally a "blockbuster". There has been no reply for a long time. After about ten minutes, LeBron James finally received a reply:

——This needs to be carefully planned, man, you know, our choices are becoming less and less, and every next decision will be very cautious!

LeBron James wasn't surprised by his agent's reaction.

And he knew that his agent was right. The Heat's defeat in the past four years had an impact on him. It can't be said to be great, but it can only be said to be great!

"Decision 2" must be cautious!

Of course, if Li Wan knew what LeBron James was thinking at the moment, he would definitely correct his point of view:

Your team is not just cautious because you didn't win the championship with the Heat, their caution is from beginning to end.

After the original LeBron James finally lost to the Spurs this season, his contract expired and he was going back to play "hometown basketball" to make up for his mistakes. His team started the classic "1 plus 1" contract.

In the end, LeBron James stayed with the Cavaliers for another 4 years, but because of the two "1 plus 1" contracts, he can restore himself as a completely free agent at the end of each season.

It can be said that the initiative has been fully grasped.

It was also during this period that the "Eight Sage Kings" signed LeBron James' agent, relying on the "8 plus 8" data, and got a contract of 80 million from the Cavaliers.

Also by helping the "Eight Sage Kings" get a big contract, Rich Paul officially established his fame and worth, and quickly became one of the top agents in the league.

Just looking at the operations of LeBron James and his team, you really can't see that he has a little affection for the Cavaliers management, including sympathy!

And the two "1 plus 1" contracts during this peak period can be regarded as the first renewal of a "super giant".

This abacus can be heard clearly all over the United States...

The second half started quickly.

The New York Knicks were still in the rhythm of the first half.

Chris Bosh played regular time, and when the opposing Bulls counterattacked or strengthened their defense against Chris Bosh, Li Wan took over the offensive burden and used his personal ability to stabilize the situation.

The double-digit point difference was maintained until the end of the game.

113 to 101, the New York Knicks beat the Bulls by 12 points and won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals, with a big score of 10.

Li Wan's data was finally fixed at 29 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, in addition to 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Chris Bosh's data is not too bad, scoring 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. Just looking at this data, it really makes people feel that Bosh is also the core of this team, and his status should be the same as that of Li Wan.

However, just as LeBron James saw the tricks, the commentators also saw the New York Knicks' current offensive routine in the second half. Chris Bosh was in charge of most of the time, and Li Wan was dedicated to attacking key shots.

As he spoke, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in Barkley's mind:

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen!

Isn't this the division of labor between Jordan and Pippen on the Bulls?

ESPN also felt the offense of the New York Knicks, with the shadow of the Chicago Bulls in it.

Although compared to Pippen's all-around skills, Chris Bosh is worse.

But Li Wan's background is supported by a group of powerful veterans. His role on the court will not be much worse than Scottie Pippen.

It was also this game that let everyone see how stable Li Wan can play at critical moments with the help of a qualified second-in-command.

The performance of all the Bulls is actually not bad today.

A total of 101 points were scored!

You know, the Bulls in Thibodeau's era were known for their defense. They averaged only 95.4 points per game this season.

Therefore, their offensive firepower tonight is actually not weak.

Derrick Rose scored 33 points, and he played very well, scoring above the standard line. After all, he averaged 26.5 points per game in the first round of the playoffs and 25.4 points per game in the second round. Only 3 games scored 30 points in one game.

Now he scored 33 points in a single game in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It can be seen that his state is hot.

Jimmy Butler's performance was not good. He was defended by Li Wan and only scored 8 points tonight.

But Luer Deng scored 20 points, supporting the offensive responsibilities of the "second master".

Ordinarily, the absolute core of the Bulls has played what they should have. This game is not to say that they will definitely win, but there should be some exchanges. In the end, it is a pity that they lost the game.

But anyone who has watched this game knows that the whole rhythm is under the control of the New York Knicks, or in other words, under the control of Li Wan.

The Bulls staged a counterattack several times, but finally relied on Li Wan to stand up in time and ended without a problem.

His key ball ability tonight is really desperate.

Jimmy Butler lowered his head with his hands on his hips. He rarely felt so helpless on the defensive end, but facing Li Wan tonight, he really felt helpless again and again.

The gap between him and Li Wan is almost as high as Mount Everest.

He stood at the foot of the mountain, with no end in sight.

This feeling, the more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel...

"Nice!"

LeBron James stood up at the end of the game, clapped his hands and applauded Chris Bosh, but his peripheral vision has been observing Li Wan's movements intentionally or unconsciously, noticing that he is walking to the bench When the time comes, quickly step forward and wait to give him a high-five.

When Li Wan found out, LeBron was already in front of him.

The so-called "don't reach out and hit the smiling face", he has no hatred with LeBron, he nodded with a smile, and reached out to pat him.

"Man, congratulations, you did a great job tonight! Seriously, unbelievable..."

A long paragraph "flyed" out of LeBron James' mouth.

Out of politeness, Li Wan stood still, and when he finished speaking, he solemnly said: "Thank you".

LeBron was satisfied with letting him back to the bench.

A gleam of joy flashed in the corner of his eyes.

mission completed!

Sure enough, before he left along the auditorium, a reporter stopped him at the scene: "Hey, buddy, you talked a lot with Li Wan just now, can you tell me what you talked about?"

LeBron said matter-of-factly: "I just wish him the win tonight, he played great ... nothing else."

The reporter obviously didn't believe it. The time of this chat was not just a sentence or two, but this?

LeBron reaffirmed: "Just chatting about this."

The same question was asked to Li Wan, and Li Wan's answer was similar to that of LeBron: "He just congratulated me for winning tonight's game..."

This made the media even more suspicious.

The next day, the fact that LeBron James came to the New York Knicks to watch the game occupied a lot of traffic.

Especially after the game, LeBron James said to Li Wan for almost ten seconds, which made many media speculate whether the two brothers have already made an appointment to transfer to the same team in the summer?

"The League is about to usher in the finale, who can stop LeBron and Li Wan from joining forces!

Especially one of the media companies, the title is called an eye-catching, some curious netizens followed the media to find the entertainment company lrmr to which it belongs...

Boy, isn't this LeBron James' company?

Co-authoring yourself to make a gimmick for yourself, right?

Li Wan was stunned when he saw the news, and then he remembered that the original intention of LeBron James to create the media was because he was tired of the media changing the narrative of what he did, or choosing their own narrative...

Um…

This means that he doesn't agree with what others say, and he has to say what he looks like!

To put it more simply:

I control my public opinion myself!

This may also explain why LeBron in the later period always had to p the Kings team logo, and added "goat" to the suffix of his Twitter feed at every turn.

He does have a country that he can fantasize about!

This operation is indeed very American!

This wave of public opinion was so strong that on the second day when there was no match, many media reporters went to the Madison Arena to watch Li Wan, wanting to see his opinion on this matter.

Li Wan didn't want to let the bullet fly for a while, and said directly: "We really didn't talk about other things. He congratulated me on winning the victory and played a good performance. Apart from that, we didn't talk about other things." of…"

"Then do you plan to team up with LeBron?" A reporter asked directly.

And this was also the question Li Wan was looking forward to, and his answer was very clear: "No!"

The idea of ​​the LeBron James team is to muddy the water in the free market so that they can increase their influence, have more initiative, and facilitate operations.

Just imagine, if they were really allowed to coerce Li Wan to order the alliance.

At that time, Li Wan will inevitably be affected.

So he has to give the answer of "one is one, two is two".

Let the entire league know who is the "big king" in the off-season, and who is the "big king" among the "big kings"!

Li Wan's answer was very direct, and LeBron James' team was a little stunned.

Didn't they say "reach out and don't hit smiling people"?

We have taken the initiative, yet you can still give such a heartless response...

After Li Wan's answer was exposed by the media, netizens' views immediately changed:

"I thought it was going in both directions, but it turned out that LeBron was posting backwards!"

"I'm still wondering, with Li Wan's strength, why does he need to join forces with LeBron James! Isn't this why LeBron has been dragged into his thief ship?"

"The latest news, in fact, the Heat did not have the idea of ​​forming the Big Three at that time, but Wade and Chris Bosh led the team. As a result, LeBron James joined the South Coast without saying a word, and the two of them were forced to join LeBron. Brown James' ship!"

"I'm just wondering, if there was no news about LeBron James' joining at the time, why did ESPN connect Chris Bosh and Wade specifically to let them talk about the prospect of the Heat team after joining forces..."

"Then Li Wanke has to be careful, don't let LeBron James' team get tricked by then!"

…

In China, on Weibo's newly launched "Hot Search" function, the hot word "LeBron posted on Li Wan" also rushed to the top of the "Hot Search" list.

With Li Wan's words, LeBron James' team fell into infinite passivity.

That's why Li Wan saw LeBron before the game last night. He knew that he came with a mission, but when this guy came to him after the game, he stopped in his tracks.

He was more than polite.

Here, there is still a big job!

The purpose is to make public opinion become what it is now.

In this way, regardless of which team Li Wanxia joins, he can avoid falling into the same situation as Wade and Chris Bosh.

After all, the combination of Li Wanjia, LeBron and James is really fragrant enough, and the general manager of the general team cannot resist such a temptation.

Now, with the formation of public opinion at the moment, "LeBron turned against Li Wan" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If Li Wan joins the new team later, the outside world will have a clear understanding when the LeBron team plays the trick of "forced boarding" just like going to the Heat:

It was not planned by Li Wan and him, but by LeBron James himself!

The person who posted upside down...

Does the status of the team still need to be said?

There is no way, as the LeBron James team frequently touched the operation of the "God of Basketball" in the latter part of his career, Li Wan must guard against this move.

Let them know that they are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing "Liao Zhai!"

Oh, no, the LeBron James team is a millennium fox, and Li Wan's side is ten thousand years...

This wave of "leveraging strength" made the LeBron James team "steal chickens without losing money", while Li Wan got it without any effort, and easily won the title of "The Man Who Let LeBron Fall Back"!

On May 20, the second game of the Eastern Conference finals continued.

Thibodeau has learned his lesson in this game. He no longer let Li Wan restrain his defensive arrangement, and directed all defensive arrangements to Chris Bosh.

His idea is to let Derrick Rose and Li Wan confront each other and lock up the rest of the New York Knicks.

There is nothing wrong with this idea.

Derrick Rose is indeed one of the best "scorers" in the league.

But the problem is...

Li Wan can remove the "one" of the suffix.

In terms of scoring explosiveness alone, even Kevin Durant, who has regained the "season scoring champion" this year, has to kneel down and sing "Conquer" in front of him. Anyway, Kevin Durant's highest score in a single game in his career so far is only 58 points. As for Li Wan... he took 80 plus twice!

Really completely incomparable!

As the game progressed, Thibodeau also discovered this problem.

Those who can break through, really can't do this one that can shoot!

In addition, Li Wan's state came very quickly tonight, and during the time when he felt the hottest, he made three consecutive 3-pointers, which made Derrick Rose directly call a timeout.

This scoring momentum, even if he stepped on his shoes and smoked, he couldn't keep up!

rest, rest, rest...

At the end of the game, the New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls by 110 to 94, 16 points, and won the second victory of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Derrick Rose's scoring in this game set a new high in this year's playoffs. He scored 37 points.

Also shot above 47% from the field...

Faster than 2 percentage points higher than his usual.

It is not too much to say that everything is exhausted.

If it was the scoring core of other teams in front of him, he might have won this game.

But who made him face it, it was Li Wan!

Li Wan's final score was fixed at 47 points, in addition to 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Focusing on the scoring end, he fired with full firepower and gave Jimmy Butler another night of amnesia.

With the confused look in this guy's eyes after the game, when Amumu came, he had to hug him before leaving.

How pitiful!

Barkley ridiculed Thibodeau's defensive arrangement in this game: "I don't know what Tom is thinking. He actually thinks that he can win the New York Knicks by relying on star confrontation."

"I don't mean to look down on Derrick Rose. He is one of the best players in the league, but he is still far from Li Wan's level."

Kenny Smith said: "Tom is a defensive coach, and he is really not good at the offensive end. Therefore, it is normal for him to have some problems with his offensive thinking at times."

The two of them sang and drank, which made the Chicago media half dead.

But they didn't say anything against it...

because…

Although very angry, what Kenny Smith and Barkley said is indeed true.

Even if they evaluate the scoring ability of Derrick Rose and Li Wan by themselves, they can't say against their will that Derrick Rose has Li Wan's scoring explosive power.

Um…

From this, we can understand why in the eyes of certain groups, repeating what their giegie said and did is to blackmail their giegie...

Because what their giegie said, and what they did, are indeed black spots!

so…

Can't mention it!

To mention is that life is unsatisfactory!

Why do you only stare at the four, five, six, seven or eight "stupid" things that our giegie has done? Why not pay attention to his stats?

The matter of his giegie can't be mentioned, but he said "coke ratio" and "helicopter" one by one with extra enthusiasm.

However, Derrick Rose made a rare comment on TNT: "The series is behind by a big score of 02. The biggest responsibility is indeed on me. I didn't take the lead. I played a better performance than Li Wan. I will continue to work hard. We Will be back in New York again, wait and see what happens next!"

It can be seen that Derrick Rose plays a pivotal role in this team and even in this city.

Just such a sentence, he restored the fighting spirit of the whole Chicago.

On May 22, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals was played in Chicago.

Derrick Rose, who set the lag the day before, took the lead in this game, showing a decisive effort on both offense and defense. Under his leadership, the entire Bulls also burst out with a strong desire to survive, as Derrick Rose said:

They're coming back to New York again!

Strong willpower allowed them to play the most anxious first half. At the end of the two quarters, they were only 4 points behind. When the second half started, the main players of the Bulls broke out in unison, scoring 37 points in a single quarter, helping The Bulls established an 8-point advantage.

When your hand is poking your opponent in the eye and they can still put the ball in the basket, you should know that this is your opponent's night...

At this moment, most people in the New York Knicks think so.

In many cases, their defense did not lose their position, and they interfered very well, but the opponent just managed to complete the goal.

However, Li Wan's "scoring surge" at the last moment scared the Chicago Bulls into a cold sweat.

Li Wan made all the last 4 shots, but Naihe responded in time, allowing Li Wan to score 40 points, but failed to help the team win the final victory.

105 to 100, with a 5-point difference, the Chicago Bulls defended their home court and rewritten the big score to 12!

This is also the New York Knicks' first loss in the playoffs this season.

Derrick Rose fulfilled what he called lag, and after winning the third game, this round of the series will definitely end with a trip back to New York!

The Chicago media took this opportunity to praise Ross severely.

Even if he failed to become the next "Li Wan" in the end, he is indeed the best defender in "Wind City" after Michael Jordan!

Now the team holding their breath becomes the New York Knicks...

No way, just the unreasonable touch in the third game of the Chicago Bulls series, whoever loses has no temper!

They admit that the Bulls are indeed much stronger than the opponents they met in the first two rounds of this year's playoffs, and they have the ability to win them, but the problem is... this winning method is too exaggerated.

This is no longer playing basketball!

This is obviously burning "dog luck"!

In the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, all members of the New York Knicks showed a different vigor and devoted themselves to the defensive end.

Aren't you good at top pitching?

Come on, I'm posting it like this now, let's see how you get in!

If you have the ability, you can continue to burn your "dog luck"!

Facts have proved that "dog luck" is not available in every game, and the consumed "dog luck" needs to be sacrificed to other games to ensure the "conservation of character".

In this game, the Bulls encountered "conservation of character". How arrogant their shots were in the last game, how embarrassing this game will be.

The most striking example is Ruhr Deng. In the last game, the British made 5 of 8 shots from outside the three-point line. In this game, he made 1 of 7 shots from outside the three-point line.

The 110-89, 21-point victory allowed the New York Knicks to complete the "revenge" and win the fourth game of the series. At the same time, the big score came to 31. The New York Knicks successfully won the match point of the Eastern Conference Finals!

Chicago fans were expecting this result.

After all, the mutual restraint between the two strong points of Li Wan and Chris Bosh is indeed beyond the limit of ordinary teams, let alone there are so many high-quality "puzzles" around them. .

In fact, Derrick Rose's ability to achieve the lag he set has already surprised them.

Um…

All right!

It's not just their surprise. New York fans were also very surprised to see the Chicago Bulls win the third game of the series under the leadership of Derrick Rose. At the same time, the evaluation of Derrick Rose has soared.

Now in the hearts of New York Knicks fans, Rose is already the "second guard in the league" after Li Wan!

Yes, that's right, who told them to watch Li Wan's home game more, in their eyes, this young man has a great future.

The core of the team in the previous two rounds failed to do it, and now Derrick Rose has done it!

Then you have to give a big thumbs up!

Successfully won the match point, and the next game is at the home court of the New York Knicks, so Li Wan paid a little attention to the current situation of the Western Conference Finals.

It is worth mentioning that Li Wan didn't take it seriously when the Thunder won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

But right now, after four games in the Eastern Conference Finals and the fifth game in the Western Conference Finals, Li Wan suddenly felt something was wrong...

How does this Thunder team look...

Going to the finals!

It’s really not Li Wan’s random nonsense, but after the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder immediately won the second home game. Although the Spurs returned to the home game after adjustments, they also won two home games. It was rewritten as a 2-2 draw.

But the fifth game of the series was at the Thunder's home court. The "Three Young Thunders" broke out together and scored 89 points, helping the team win the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" abruptly, rewriting the big score to 3 than 2.

The Thunder are only one step away from advancing to the Finals!
