Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 63: Falling Short

Heat vs. Lakers.

The “OK” duo met for the seventh time in the regular season, and as always, it was a “big meal” that would only be served on Christmas. But after LeBron James led the Cavaliers to the Finals this summer, David Stern was keenly aware that a new “big meal” was coming, and the Lakers and Heat didn’t have to wait until Christmas to see each other for the first time every new season.

But even after coming down from the stage of “Christmas Wars”, David Stern still gave enough respect to this game: broadcast live across the United States.

It’s just that in this game, Shaq O’Neill himself didn’t know where he was uncomfortable, and was forced by Pat Riley on the bench and hung up the waiver card.

The Heat in the 07~08 season only need to do one thing, that is, to put on a bad loss and strive for a high pick in the 08 draft.

The “God Operator” didn’t want Shaq O’Neill’s sudden blood to disrupt his arrangements for the season.

Even if the game is “live across the United States”.

But can Shaq O’Neill still be considered a “supergiant”?

Big deal, fine…

In this league, it is not easy to get the first record in the league, it is not easy to finish at the bottom, there are a few “rotten masters”, Pat Riley is very clear, the final victory or defeat may be between one or two losses, he must fight every game!

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Heat 99-87 at home.

The Heat with a full roster are not necessarily the opponents of the current Lakers, and without Shaq O’Neal relying on Wade alone, it is even more impossible.

It’s embarrassing to say.

This is probably the fastest decaying championship team, right?

Who would have thought that last year’s Heat, who was still a championship, has begun to make an impact towards the top prize this year.

Pat Riley ran to say hello to Phil Jackson after the game.

The two “old foxes” stand together, and for a while, you can’t tell which side is the winning side.

The narrow eyes of the successful “God operator” almost narrowed into a slit with a smile.

During the game, he almost cheered for the Lakers.

On the 24th, another one, yes, yes, Shaq is watching from the sidelines, rush another one!

No. 91 came up, I like the “nerve knife”, the feel can not be blocked when it comes, beautiful, that’s it, shoot another one!

This may be one of the few “god operators” who can read what he is thinking.

Li Wan remembers that the final result was also as he wished, and the Heat were in the bottom position, winning 15 games in one season!

The league’s second-to-last win is five more than them, which shows how bad the Heat are this year.

Unfortunately, at the ’08 draft, David Stern made a splash and allowed the Bulls to miraculously get the top pick with a 1.7% probability, well, miraculously!

There are definitely miracles, but sometimes they are certainly man-made.

The Heat fell short and only received the second pick in the first round.

Li Wan, who knew the result, watched Pat Riley smile so happily, and felt a little sad about him.

The old man counted the heavens and the earth, and finally followed in the footsteps of the “cardinal”.

Dwyane Wade couldn’t hide his loneliness, he wasn’t in the mood to hug Kobe, slapped his butt, and walked away with his head down.

Wade scored 26 points tonight, and in terms of performance alone, he can score 9 points.

This should have been Wade’s peak, but it turned out to be rotten with the team, I can only say one thing… It’s all fate!

Li Wan hugged Cook after the game, the two played well tonight, Cook scored 10 points, Li Wan faced the undefended Heat outside, scored 18 points and shot 4 three-pointers!

Cook can also be regarded as personally experiencing the “ruthlessness” of his college teammates going crazy.

“You’ve really changed so much from when you were in college! He sighed sincerely, “I feel that you will become an all-star in the future!” ”

Li Wan patted him on the shoulder: “Brother, the pattern is small!” ”

With the system in hand, Li Wan believes that his future is not just an all-star, that may just be the beginning.

Cook looked at his stinky fart and rolled his eyes wordlessly. Then the two looked at each other and smiled, hugged again, and Cook dropped the phrase “see you in Miami” and left the arena with his teammates.

On November 20, Li Wan, who had finished two home games, arrived in Seattle with the team. The Lakers’ next game is to take on the Seattle SuperSonics on the road.

That afternoon, Mike Conley called Li Wan again, telling him to make sure to give Kevin Durant a little color.

Li Wan smiled and agreed, he watched the game between the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies, and Kevin Durant was indeed a projection of Mike Conley behind various blocks. Just looking at it in front of the computer, Li Wan could feel Conley’s suffocation.

Kevin Durant, who set his eyes on the screen and shot back defense, his thin face and high cheekbones, and narrow shoulder width, give this thin and tall ’07 list show a unique temperament.

The scouting report says that Kevin Durant is 2.08 meters tall, but Li Wan knows that he must be more than 2.08 meters.

The SuperSonics are an interesting team.

The current president of the Heat, former “God operator” Pat Riley, has previously proposed a forward-thinking idea: the future of basketball is the sport of five players of about two meters on the court.

Because of this vision, Pat Riley prefers to use sporty interior players, which do not require absolute height, but must be mobile. Also affected by this is George Carr, the current head coach of the Nuggets. He also prefers the brutalist power forward.

Now it seems that P.J. Calesimo also likes this theory and puts it into action, and the average height of the new season of the SuperSonics, except for point guard Earl Watson, is more than 2.06 meters.

In this team with an average height of more than 2 meters, Kevin Durant, who is 2.08 meters tall and above, plays shooting guard.

A shooting guard over 2.11 meters tall!

Li Wan has not checked the NBA’s historical record, but he can be sure that Kevin Durant should be the tallest shooting guard in NBA history.

The SuperSonics have a poor record, but there are quite a few SuperSonics fans who came to watch the game tonight, and more than 90% of the seats are already full of fans. It’s rare to have such support in a team with such a poor record, and apart from the New York fans who always find fun themselves, only those two giants can do it.

There are other reasons to get so many fans on the floor, and last year the Starbucks owner sold the SuperSonics to Clay Bennett in Oklahoma City.

In order to get his team to have a new arena, Clay Bennett negotiated with the city of Seattle several times, but they broke up unhappily. The angry Clay Bennett said, “If Seattle had no plans to build a new arena before ’08, I would have moved the SuperSonics to Oklahoma.” ”

This caused panic among Seattle fans, and a fan battle to “save the SuperSonics” was in full swing. Today’s Seattleiters cherish the days when they owned an NBA team.

Kevin Durant’s entrance was met with huge cheers from the audience, and the ’07 list responded with a simple smile and raised his not thick arms.

He turned his head to look at the Lakers again, looking for something. Li Wan met his eyes, and found that this guy’s eyes showed a fighting intent.

I shouldn’t have messed with him, did I?

Or is he the kind of black man with a bad brain who treats him as a villain like the “Emperor of the Universe”, as Kupchak said?

It won’t!

Well, it may also be…

Thinking that Kevin Durant later broke down his personality in the Nets, Li Wan felt that this guy’s brain was really not good.

It is no wonder that for a person who loves marijuana, it is only a matter of time before a bad brain is a matter of time.

Get up early and ask for more support from your brothers.
