The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 249 Li Xun is the GOAT in my mind
In the first half, under Li Xun's strict defense, Wade only scored 6 points. In the second half, Lowry and DeRozan switched defenses and scored 14 points, which happened to score 20 points.

To say less is certainly not less.

In a game of the level of the Eastern Conference finals, it is not bad to be able to score [-] points.

But compared to Wade's normal level, such a score is obviously unqualified.

And James scored a lot in the first half, scoring 17 points, but in the second half he was targeted by Li Xun, and he only scored 7 points.

A total of 24 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, the data is certainly not bad.

But counting on such a statistic to lead the team to win the Pistons is definitely a dream.

As for the third giant, Boozer, he scored 17 points and 11 rebounds tonight, which cannot be said to be bad, but it is not good enough.

The Big Three of the Heat scored 61 points together. If it were another team, they might have at least [-]% chance of winning.

But sorry, they are facing the Pistons tonight.

According to the analysis of experts, if you want to win this Pistons team, either someone in the team has played a historic explosive performance.

For example, Terry's explosive performance of 14 points on 32 shots in the Western Conference semifinals, and his teammates can't be too pitiful.

Or all members of the team will work hard, and the shooting rate will crush the Pistons.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for these teams to be the opponents of the Pistons. Let alone win the series, it will be difficult for them to win a single game.

For the Pistons, Li Xun scored 30+ points, and Yao Ming also played a full 10 minutes tonight, scoring 20 points and 11 rebounds.

He has completely justified his name tonight.

Many fans have been rumoring that Boozer can beat Yao Ming, but in fact this is completely false.

The reason why Boozer was able to beat Yao Ming during the Jazz period was entirely due to the advantages of the team's lineup, and his statistics were not necessarily better than Yao Ming.

库里上半场砍下了16分，下半场就只打了5分钟，最终拿到了18分2篮板7助攻的数据进账。

The rubbish brothers DeRozan and Lowry combined to score 27 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists tonight. Whether it is offense or defense, they are particularly mature and stable.

DeRozan himself is not that kind of frivolous player, and Lowry is not young. After this year, his rookie contract will end.

Ray Allen, who came off the bench, continued his amazing three-point performance. He made 4 three-pointers, scored 3 of them, and scored 12 points.

As a substitute, being able to score 12 points with such an efficiency, it can be said that Ray Allen's annual salary of tens of millions is definitely a bargain.

Just imagine if Ray Allen is in the Heat, give him more playing time, maybe he can really shoot a cold arrow and kill the Pistons.

Li Xun is very satisfied that he snatched Ray Allen to the Pistons. This is his most satisfying operation this season.

The data of Baibian, who debuted in the first game, is almost negligible.

But his role on the field should not be underestimated. When defending Bargnani alone, the effect is amazing.

Bargnani is the opening shot a good three-pointers.

In the next game, he never scored three points again.

If there is no white border to restrict Bargnani tonight, although the Pistons will not lose, it is certainly impossible to win so easily.

It is not surprising that the Pistons are united and can defeat the Heat so easily.

The first game was won so easily, and the next second game was still the home court of the Pistons, and they were still defeated by the Pistons.

In this game, Lowry fully played his worth.

He played 25 minutes in the game and took 13 shots, including 7 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 6 of 5 mid-range shots, and directly scored 29 points.

In terms of offensive efficiency, it is even comparable to Terry of the Mavericks.

After the game, Lowry clamored for a treat.

On occasions like the Eastern Conference finals, with Lowry playing such statistics, it is almost certain that he will be able to sign a good contract next.

Judging from Lowry's performance in the past few years, he actually signed a contract with an annual salary of around 400 million at most.

It's not even as big as Sun Yue's contract amount.

But once this game is over tonight, as long as he can continue to prove his strength in the next few playoff games.

Then he might even get an annual salary of tens of millions.

Point guard players can generally sign a good contract now, especially a point guard with outstanding defense like Lowry is even more popular.

After the two home games, the next two games will go to the Heat's home court.

In the current pre-match press conference, no one has asked Li Xun how confident he is in eliminating the Heat in a few games.

Because the answer is already very obvious, after the Heat have played the next two games, their vacation should also come.

Sure enough, after two home games, the Heat were defeated across the board.

Especially in the last game, the audience lost to the Pistons by as much as 37 points.

It's not that the Pistons are scoring points, but that after the last 5 minutes of the game entered garbage time, the Pistons really couldn't find weak chickens to play.

Lowry came on the bench and scored 5 points in just 13 minutes.

It has to be said that Lowry really played his worth in the playoffs.

Originally, Dumars didn't think much of Lowry at all, thinking that Li Xun was joking when he said that Lowry was the future All-Star point guard.

But looking at Lowry's performance recently, he knows that Li Xun may not be joking.

This stocky little man seems to have the strength of an all-star level.

This made Dumas very helpless.

Because after the end of this season, Lowry's contract expires.

Although the Pistons can match the contract for this kind of restricted free agent, the problem now is that it is impossible for the Pistons to renew Lowry with an annual salary of 1000 million US dollars.

Now Dumars regrets it a bit. He knew that he should not have signed Ray Allen with an annual salary of tens of millions.

The biggest problem for the Pistons is the contract extension.

There are too many outstanding newcomers in the team now, so when they sign contracts, they must give priority to the future contracts of Li Xun, Curry and DeRozan.

All three will sign new contracts after next season.

When the time comes, which one of the three will let go, Dumas must be extremely reluctant.

Especially Li Xun, if Li Xun runs away, is this piston still a piston?
As for Curry and DeRozan, these two are young All-Star guards. As long as Dumars is not a fool, he will definitely give priority to solving the contract issues of these two.

So Lowry has no choice but to watch Lowry leave the Pistons freely.

Although it is said that the operation of signing first and then changing can be carried out, it can be signed first and then changed, and the players who are exchanged will also take up salary space.

Unless the Pistons take advantage of some space next season and exchange for some players with only one-year contracts, then it can be manipulated.

"Huh? Howard!"

"Yes, Howard!"

Dumars suddenly remembered the Howard incident that Li Xun had mentioned to him in the second half of the season.

An ecstatic smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Lowry and Baibian have played very well this year. The combination of the two to replace Howard is perfect.

Moreover, Lowry's signing first and then changing can also solve Howard's salary matching problem.

Dumars was relieved for a while, and he was not so reluctant to leave Lowry. At least Lowry's departure gave the Pistons a lot of benefits.

At the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat, which had high hopes, were directly shaved bald by the Pistons led by Li Xun.

In the eyes of the fans, this result is a bit unexpected but not unexpected.

The Pistons are tyrannical and have a terror dominance comparable to the Trident Bulls. It is true that the Big Three of the Heat cannot be their opponents.

Surprisingly, the Big Three of the Heat were so vulnerable that they didn't even win a game under the Pistons.

Even losing to the Pistons by as much as 18 points per game.

This is completely in the category of being hoisted and hammered.

You must know that during the regular season, the Pistons only won by about [-] points against those weak teams, such as the Eastern Conference Wizards and so on.

Of course, if the Pistons beat these weak chickens in the regular season, they must stop.

This is the third consecutive year that Li Xun has led his team to the finals.

What's even more terrifying is that this season is only the third season of Li Xun's career.

A rookie as dazzling as Li Xun has never appeared in the entire NBA history.

In fact, no matter if it is a fan, an expert, or other players in the league, no one will regard Li Xun as a rookie.

The Eastern Conference finals are over, and the Western Conference is coming to an end.

The Mavericks have already held a 3:1 advantage and pushed the Thunder's three young masters to the edge of the cliff.

A day later, the Mavericks beat the Thunder in Game [-] and won the Finals tickets.

Although the Thunder wasn't swept, they actually suffered an ugly loss.

The main reason is that Durant did not play at the level he should have, averaging 43% of his shots per game, which is not as good as his regular season level.

Of course, if you want to talk about war criminals, Durant's scoring average of 28 points per game is definitely not up to him.

The real cheater is Westbrook. Westbrook's offensive efficiency in this round of the series is hard to describe.

If the Thunder lose [-] points, Westbrook must at least score [-] points.

An average of 37% shooting rate per game, and the average number of key shots per game is as high as 20 times, second only to Durant's 21 times!
Nowitzki averaged only 17.4 shots per game.

With Westbrook's shooting rate, and his three-pointers shooting less, it is reasonable to say that the more he shoots, the more likely he is to lose.

Even if Westbrook's field goal percentage can be increased by five points, reaching 42%, which is not a good level, the Thunder may have a chance to beat the Mavericks.

The main reason is that Harden's performance in this round of the series is outstanding, averaging only 8.4 shots per game, and his shooting percentage is quite high.

It is said that it is the Thunder's three young masters, but it is actually the Thunder King's combination. Harden is really a marginal man.

If it is really the third young man, it is impossible for Harden to take twice as many shots as Westbrook and turn a corner.

As a result, Wang Bo's combination didn't blow up, and he accidentally injured himself.

On June 6, the first game of the finals is coming soon.

This time Li Xun was also asked how many games he could end his opponent.

I thought that Li Xun would say that the battle would end in four games this time. After all, in the eyes of the fans, the Heat are much better than the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' ability to reach this point this year has actually exceeded everyone's expectations.

Facing such an opponent, the Pistons can sweep the Heat, can't they sweep the Mavericks?
As a result, Li Xun's answer once again surprised the reporter.

"Facing a team like the Mavericks, it's hard to say how many games you can win against them."

"If we're lucky enough, or if the Mavericks are bad enough, we could win the championship in four games."

"Of course, if our luck is bad enough, I think this round of the finals will be dragged into a tiebreaker."

"However, I still have great confidence in the Pistons. I firmly believe that the final winner must be our Pistons."

In the eyes of the reporters, these remarks were completely out of Li Xun's style.

Today's Li Xun is so humble for the first time?

In fact, Li Xun is really not humble, because playing against a team like the Mavericks is really like this, and it really depends on luck.

First of all, Nuo Tianwang is really hard to guard against.

Even for Li Xun, in a one-on-one situation, it is actually very difficult to restrict Nuo Tianwang.

The main reason is that Nuo Tianwang's shooting posture is too incomprehensible. Unless Li Xun is ten centimeters taller and his wingspan is twenty centimeters longer, then he has a chance to block Nowitzki.

Secondly, Terry is a nerve knife. He and Nowitzki played a two-person pick-and-roll, and the effect was a bit scary.

Once he surrenders to him, Curry is the younger brother.

Then there is the old demon Kidd.

Kidd is a pure weirdo. Although he is nicknamed Ji Bugong, his three-pointers are not for display.

The three-point shooting percentage is even higher than the mid-range shooting percentage, which is outrageous.

In addition, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Pistons in terms of defense and offense.

In addition, there are sharp shooters such as Peja, Barea, and Stevenson on the Mavericks bench.

Once they all surrender, the Pistons are really hard to parry.

That's why Li Xun didn't talk big.

He can say big things when playing against the Heat, that's because he is really sure to wash the Heat with blood.

How can the Heat have so many sharpshooters? They don't have a basket, so how can they fight against the Pistons.

After Mavericks boss Cuban heard Li Xun's words, he went crazy with joy.

When the whole world is not optimistic about the Mavericks at all, Li Xun gives them enough respect.

"Li Xun is a player who understands the ball. He knows better than anyone how to lead a team to victory."

"The Pistons are the most powerful team I have ever seen, even stronger than the Trident Bulls and any championship team in history."

"It is an honor for our Mavericks to play against such an opponent."

"However, our Mavericks are also very strong. As Li Xun said, if we are lucky enough, we have every hope of defeating the Pistons."

"By the way, Li Xun is the GOAT in my mind, he is the greatest player in history in my mind."

Everyone carried the sedan chair, seeing Li Xun respecting the Mavericks, Cuban also praised Li Xun.

Cuban has always been very outspoken.

But this time he said that Li Xun is GOAT, which directly caused an uproar.

Li Xun has only won one championship now, and the result is GOAT?Where does this make Jordan's face go?

After Li Xun found out, he was also speechless. This time, he had caused Cuban a lot of trouble.

Isn't this blackmailing yourself?
Jordan is a six-champion double dynasty, and it's not a nomadic dynasty.

Li Xun felt that at least he would not dare to lick his face and say that he was GOAT before he won six championships and established two three-peat dynasties.

How thick-skinned would it be to admit it?
