Basketball: starting from the nerve knife
Chapter 229
Seeing D’Antoni bring Beverley to the court, Brooks also immediately pulled James Harden.
As the third pick in the first round of ’09, the last piece of the puzzle of the “Thunder Three”, James Harden, who entered the third season of his career, gradually grew bearded.
It faintly has the length of the original “bearded generation”.
He grew longer and stronger.
So far in the 11~12 season, James Harden has averaged 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1 steal per game.
In fact, it can be seen from the data of the “Thunder Three Few” that these are all “all-round monsters”.
The season when Westbrook won the regular season MVP with a “triple-double”, in fact, James Harden was two or three rebounds less than averaging a triple-double…
D’Antoni saw James Harden on the pitch and immediately beckoned to the bench and called Cook up.
Last year, Li Wan’s left-handed Beverley and right-hand Artest successfully suppressed the “Thunder Three Youngsters” He did not forget the picture.
It’s just that at the moment, Artest is very hard to defend Kevin Durant, and when he goes to deal with James Harden later, D’Antoni is afraid that he will not have enough energy.
Of course, this is that the “mustache” does not understand, if he asks Li Wan, Li Wan will tell him …
You think too much and don’t have enough energy?
How much energy does it take to have a cubit?
With Tyson Chandler scoring a second offense and making a foul, the rotation players waiting on both sides to officially take the court.
Tyson Chandler’s free throws are high and low, 75% when it’s high, maybe 65% when it’s low, and it’s obviously good tonight, hitting all two consecutive free throws.
This is also the reason why few teams will cut this “rough brother”, it is too easy to overturn!
After he made both free throws, the New York Knicks narrowly led by four points.
The ensuing battle was noticeably more intense.
Especially Westbrook, if he was already an aggressive rooster when he just faced Li Wan, then at this moment, he was completely seeing Ximen Qing’s Wu Er.
You shit, I lost so much people last year, damn it!
But as soon as he competed, Westbrook immediately found that it was not right…
How does this guy …
More crazy?
Westbrook attacked very fiercely, so the inertia was very strong, and the general No. 1 position really did not dare to go up hard. Beverley didn’t stand in front of him, but the Rockets’ Brooks.
Take the initiative to resist, but also continue to exert force.
The appearance of madness, coupled with the hair that constantly shakes with his movements, can be described in three words:
Sick!
Westbrook was already entangled when he found out he couldn’t get rid of the mad dog. He also took Beverley to the cage specially prepared for him by the Knicks.
Wei Shao is looking forward to another big battle with Beverley is not a day or two, naturally does not want to come up to the first attack, so embarrassed, forced to turn around, but the floor under his feet does not know whose sweat, let him slide directly on the ground, at the same time calf swiped, muscles came from an uncomfortable feeling.
“Toot! ”
The referee blew the whistle.
Westbrook made a dribble error.
However, seeing his uncomfortable face, the game was not in a hurry to start.
Kevin Durant and James Harden immediately surrounded them.
Especially Harden, with a bit of impatience in his ignorant eyes.
He and Westbrook are “old brothers”, and at this moment, watching Westbrook hurt so much that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he also showed an expression of “I’m in pain” with empathy.
“Probably a strain! ”
The team doctor arrived and gave a conclusion after the examination. And quickly shouted a stretcher.
After seeing the team doctor’s examination, Westbrook got on a stretcher, and the Thunder fans went crazy and began to frantically greet Beverley’s family one by one.
Beverly is also a jerk.
This kind of accusation is not a problem for him at all!
But at this moment, he showed an aggrieved expression.
No……
Didn’t you see the replay?
I didn’t even touch him!
Did I get hurt too?
Actually, Thunder fans don’t see it.
But the problem is that Westbrook got on a stretcher, and the devil knows what the result will be in the end!
The Thunder have such good momentum this season, it is entirely possible to create new glory, averaging 23.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, shooting 45.6% from the field Westbrook is now suddenly injured, and you can see from the data how important he is to the entire team.
Now without him…
Who knows how much the Thunder will be affected this season…
In case the upward momentum just stops abruptly…
Thinking of these worst-case outcomes, Thunder fans naturally want to find a “punching bag”, and Beverley, who is mainly defending Westbrook, has naturally become their target!
At this time, who cares if you have run into Westbrook or not.
Anyway, you made contact with him, it’s that simple!
Just like the original Dayao retirement, many people say Kobe’s hit.
But in fact, Dayao’s own statement is that Kobe hit my numbness.
And even if he hit the knee, it was the right knee, and what really caused Dayao to retire was his left anle …
And the doctor clearly said that it is a stress fracture. The simple explanation is that the risk of major injuries increases.
This disease does not develop once or twice.
Such a situation arises only if it is in a state of load for a long time …
Therefore, the original Dayao was reimbursed for consecutive seasons after participating in the Olympics, and had no choice but to retire.
In this life, even if the coaching staff of the New York Knicks is careful and careful, Dayao is still reimbursed in the national competition.
That’s just a few wear values.
When you run out, you’re done.
But at that time, who cares how many bowls of powder you eat!
There is a kind of fault called “I think you are wrong”!
Li Wan patted Beverley’s shoulder comfortingly, and couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at Westbrook on the stretcher. In his impression, the original season was a “shrinking season”, but Westbrook still played the whole season, no less.
His “Turtle” promotion should start next season.
How now… Ahead of schedule?
Could it be…
Li Wan’s gaze returned to Beverly beside him… This life because he snatched Beverley after the Heat cut him.
So Beverley didn’t have the same as the original, and had to run the Development League to level up, and then let the white-skinned pig “garbage heap” look for a baby and bring back the rocket, which slowly made a name for himself.
He received the name “Mad Dog” directly in the Knicks!
So……
Beverley gained a foothold in the league ahead of schedule, affecting Westbrook’s “promotion line”, and “injury evolution” came early?
Doesn’t that mean…
When Westbrook returns, will this Thunder team be stronger than the original contemporary?
You know, the original Thunder team reached the final of this season, and now it is stronger…
What’s it!
Is this what it feels like to cultivate a “dragon” with your own hands?
However, this “evil dragon” is destined to become stronger, and this is also a matter of later, and the current situation is…
With Westbrook’s injury, the Thunder lost a “thigh”, the situation took a sharp turn, and the Knicks gradually gained the upper hand. In the TNT studio, Barkley and Kenny Smith gradually stopped analyzing the game situation, but extended the topic to the off-field, all kinds of jokes.
What they don’t know is that it was also at this time that the ratings recorded in the background skyrocketed!
This is the same as some wonderful competitions, you have to see the official professional commentary, but some games that are looking for fun, you have to watch the second flow…
Professional people do professional things!
This “fun person” who explains basketball must also be TNT’s “golden partner”.
Especially after Shaq O’Neill joined, it was really, you can even hear basketball in the commentary.
At 4:15 in the third quarter, with Ray Allen hitting another three-pointer, the Knicks lead had reached 10 points.
Kenny Smith, who was gagging at this point, suddenly remembered that he was a commentator and began to look at the data to show his “professional” side: “So far this season, the Knicks have not lost a game with a 10-point lead!” ”
When Barkley heard this record, he immediately became energetic: “That Thunder team is gone!” ”
As soon as his words fell, Kevin Durant on the court seemed to be in order to prove him wrong, suddenly turned on the “furious” mode, and various top three-pointers made Artest helpless, and Cook sitting on the bench helpless.
He has spent most of his time on the court, mostly defending Kevin Durant, and he knows how depressed Artest is at the moment.
Obviously everything was done, but I couldn’t stop it!
That’s what Kevin Durant is…
“Reaper Mode”!
Li Wan couldn’t help but chant:
It’s really grown to the fullest!
Also, when you see this guy take out the “double change direction”, you should realize that this guy has officially stepped into his peak.
At 8:21, the Thunder quickly closed the gap to 5 points.
The main hero, naturally, is Kevin Durant, who scored 9 points by himself in the past 3 minutes.
What is the league’s “scoring king”!
“This guy is really strong, and I think Kevin Durant this season is enough to finish in the top 5 in the league! Drexler looked at Kevin Durant’s wave of “show show” just now, slightly stunned, before speaking, he specifically recalled the league’s “talented scorer”, and wanted to find a player similar to Kevin Durant’s style to compare it.
But he suddenly found out…
No!
Not at all!
From NBA history, Kevin Durant has embarked on a path that belongs entirely to him.
When he entered the league, Kevin Durant’s template was Maddie, but now…
Not at all like that!
At least Drexler didn’t think Maddie had such a strong top shot, although his dry jump shot was a signature move.
You can understand that Maddie’s signature moves are the least efficient in scoring among so many star signature skills in the league.
You can’t take a “Maddie moment” for a lifetime, right?
If so, Millsap is also one of the most capable players, who doesn’t have a “Millsap moment”? But in fact, Millsap is not a top scorer at all.
Maddie is the same, he is stronger than his breakthrough ability.
Like Kevin Durant’s way of shooting regardless of the situation and feeling like he can shoot, Drexler really can’t find a player with a similar style in the league.
“Is the state so good? Barkley was also a little dumbfounded, “Then this game, the Knicks are difficult!” ”
Still just finished speaking, Li Wan called a block, and completed the counterattack against Ibaka from mid-range.
The ball “bang” fell into the frame.
Buckley:……
I’m damned!
I shouldn’t have disbelieved in “Li Shen”!
Mike Brown also began to change formations at this time, asking the player who was in line with Kevin Durant to create more physical confrontation and let him shoot in a more intense confrontation.
Kevin Durant’s rhythm was disrupted at once.
Plus it’s been storming for so long before…
“Bang! ”
Artest didn’t reach in front of him, but Kevin Durant, who added a quick stop, shot deflected from the frame. Looking at the sweaty “little handsome”, Mike Brown beckoned to the bench again, leaving Odom ready to take over.
Offensively, D’Antoni didn’t make any adjustments because…
It doesn’t matter, Li Wan will make a move!
“Ugh! ”
Still in the middle range, this time Ibaka pounced much faster, but the ball still flew over his head and fell steadily into the basket.
The ball went to the basket and was almost hollow!
“It’s so stable! ”
Drexler, who was just praising Kevin Durant, watched Li Wan hit the mid-range distance twice in a row, and his eyes unconsciously focused on Li Wan’s body.
Bill Wharton duly reported a set of statistics: “Li Wan is the most accurate player on key balls this season, up to 52.3%!” Kevin Durant is third, averaging 50.2% per game…”
“Glider” raised his eyebrows slightly.
Two “big heart” players?
In the CCTV-5 studio, Director Zhang twisted his butt and sat up straight: “This game is beautiful!” ”
He was already looking forward to it.
The next development of the game did not live up to his sitting upright, and Li Wan kept responding, allowing Kevin Durant to burst into a stronger “small universe”.
As soon as the fourth quarter came on, it continued to rampage.
All kinds of unreasonable shots are just like opening the “Anti-Melancholy Little Prince Badge”.
This outrageous state put a lot of pressure on Li Wan. Since the peak Kobe, he has encountered such a strong opponent for the first time, and even on the scene, Kevin Durant even pressed Li Wan’s hand.
However, as the game came to the final 5 minutes, Kevin Durant’s fatal problem that had been unsolvable erupted… His physical fitness is starting to go wrong!
The loudening breathing sound made his movements less coherent, and the accuracy of his shots plummeted.
In the last 2 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter, as he deflected another shot, and Li Wan scored two points again, the Knicks’ lead gap returned to 10 points, and the suspense of the game, at this moment, completely disappeared.
In the end, the beep sounded, and the race time was all over.
The score was also fixed at 107 to 94.
The Knicks defeated Westbrook’s Thunder by 13 points in the first quarter.
Barkley looked at Kevin Durant’s stat and secretly said that when Westbrook was injured, he really didn’t expect the Thunder to last that long.
“This Kevin Durant, it’s awesome now! Director Zhang was also giving a thumbs up. His stats were fixed at 42 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Kevin Durant actually scored 11 points in the first half, and the other 31 points were taken in the second half.
I scored 14 points in the third quarter and a full 17 points in the fourth quarter!
“If it weren’t for Li Wan, maybe he would have really won…”
Kenny Smith glanced at Liwan’s stats: 36 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists.
Most of his scoring also came in the second half, with 12 points in the third quarter and the fourth quarter… Also 17 points!
But his 17 points are very different from Kevin Durant’s 17:
Of Kevin Durant’s 17 points, 13 were scored in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, and with 6 minutes remaining, he had only 4 points due to physical problems.
And Li Wan’s 17 points, the distribution is relatively even, the first 6 minutes took 8 points, the last 6 minutes took 9 points…
So, is fast useful?
The key is to last!
Especially for men, 6 minutes and 12 minutes are really different!
What makes Li Wan most satisfied is the “nerve knife” badge, in the third quarter, it has already been lit up, and in the fourth quarter, he is completely against Kevin Durant with a “strong heart” badge.
It is equivalent to saying that almost without blessing the badge, he can fight with Kevin Durant just by virtue of his own attributes.
And Kevin Durant has turned on the “Grim Reaper Mode” all-time scorer!
I, Li Wan, actually relied on myself and came to this step!
“He’s strong, he’s already a supergiant in this league, the Thunder have guys who can take them to the next level, and the future is his! ”
Kevin Durant’s performance also conquered D’Antonis, and after the game, the Italian was full of praise for the “little marshal”.
The Oklahoma press is happy, but the last words of “mustache”, they always feel something strange …
D’Antoni continued: “Levan has once again proved that he is the cornerstone of this team, if it were not for him we would hardly have won tonight…”
Of course, he did not forget to praise Li Wan.
At present, the Knicks’ record is not as good as last season, and there is a lot of discussion about Li Wan, questioning whether his real strength is worth the high evaluation of “sitting on three and looking at one”.
This is the “long night” that belongs to Li Wan.
D’Antoni felt the need to give Li Wan a “torch” to give him enough warmth.
In fact, he understood Li Wan’s difficulties better than anyone at the moment.
After a month of fighting, D’Antoni also thoroughly grasped the whole situation of this new New York Knicks.
Say something that is not partial…
This team lacks a true second-in-command.
Li Wan is currently averaging 25.8 points per game, the first on the team.
But after him, the 36-year-old Ray Allen has only 14.5 points, Lewis has slipped tactically and now has only 15.5 points, and the rest of the team, although there are still three or four points averaging double-digit points, have not exceeded 15 points.
The player who disappointed D’Antoni the most was Vince Carter.
Averaging only 6.7 points per game…
The problem with his knee was so severe that this card D’Antoni couldn’t be used at all. ——For this point, we have to mention the “butterfly effect” again, under the influence of Li Wan, Vince Carter failed to go to the Suns to “Nirvana Rebirth” this time, so that without the care of the “divine doctor”, many of his old diseases have been plaguing him.
With such poor performance, Vince Carter’s mood has been low recently.
Li Wan, who felt that he was also responsible, specially talked to him once: “I have a friend…”
His friend, of course, was Greg Auden.
When Vince Carter heard that Phoenix had a “miracle doctor” who could treat his problems, his eyes lit up, and he has been running around Phoenix and the Knicks recently.
So much so that many media outlets thought that Vince Carter was about to be sold to Phoenix.
Not to mention the organizational side, Li Wan ranks first in the league in assists per game, averaging 12.5 assists per game, but below him, there is no one with more than 4 assists…
This is a problem on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, Tyson Chandler, who has high hopes, can now be determined that he has the ability to assist the defense and the ability to protect the frame, but now his state is not up to the level of becoming a defensive core.
Many times, Li Wan had to lead the defensive end.
In short, the situation with the Knicks now is…
There are many generals and few generals, and “Jordan” lacks “Pippen”, and the attack and defense are grasped.
Li Wan thinks that he is a bit like Michael Jordan in 89, but he does not have the strength of Michael Jordan’s offensive and defensive integration at that time, and you must know that Michael Jordan at that time still could not win the championship.
Now he is in a difficult situation, and the wind evaluation has declined, which is normal…
But he wasn’t in a hurry.
When he becomes an All-Star, completes the mission, and gets a new template, he believes that he will have the energy to solve the problem!
Of course, I really have to say that I am worried…
The first two times are too good, whether it is jr-smith in the B-level card pool, or DeRozan in the A-class card pool, it can be regarded as an operation full of luck, this time I draw S-level, I don’t know, will encounter the “law of conservation of character”!
James Harden was blamed after the game.
In this game, the Thunder were not without a chance to win.
Kevin Durant once pulled the point difference to 5 points, if James Harden can step up at that time, continue the firepower, and let Kevin Durant breathe a sigh of relief, maybe they will win this game.
As a result, during that time, James Harden shot 1 of 3, his performance was sluggish, and he was not as good as when the “big brother” and “second brother” were covered.
At the end of the game, his stats were just 3-of-10 and 4-of-5 from the free throw line, scoring 11 points, in addition to three assists and three turnovers.
A far cry from his usual performance…
James Harden is also a little aggrieved.
Kevin Durant suffered a “wheel war”, he also suffered a “wheel war”, Mike Brown keeps changing, so he is constantly in the process of adapting to the defender style, which is really blue and thin for him.
The good news is that Westbrook’s injury report came out, the strain was a bit serious, but it didn’t hurt the soft tissue, and it took about 1 month to get back on the field.
This news made the sky in Oklahoma suddenly clear again!
This game made them see how much Kevin Durant is now, how immature James Harden is, and how important Westbrook is to this team!
On December 6, and December 7, the New York Knicks ushered in the first wave of “back-to-back” in December.
D’Antoni had planned to strategically abandon one of the games, and even arranged for the player’s rotation, and on December 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks, Kwame Brown and Cook entered the starting lineup.
But I didn’t expect it!
In both games, the Knicks fought hard.
Relying on three-point shooting from the outside…
On December 6, the first game of “back-to-back” played the Charlotte Hornets, and the Knicks made a total of 16 outside 3-pointers, and a “three-point rainstorm” directly flooded Charlotte.
Ray Allen made four three-pointers in this game, and Lewis also made three 3-pointers.
On December 7, with Cook, who played the first game of the season, burst into excitement, the Knicks put on an even more violent “storm” in Milwaukee, shooting 20 of 30 from three-point range.
Cook contributed 5 of them, Ray Allen threw in 5, Lewis threw in 3, Lee Wan also threw in 3…
It was also at this time that the media gradually discovered that after entering December, the entire Knicks’ three-point accuracy seemed to have regained the charm of last season.
Especially Ray Allen and Lewis, in the four games they have played in December, the two of them, one has already made 15 three-pointers, and the other is a little less, but also reached 10 three-pointers!
Although others do not play so smoothly and strongly, like Cook, it is not difficult to burst up and throw 5 three-pointers in a single game…
Winning this round “back-to-back”, the Knicks won “7 straight wins” while also tying their record with the Nets, the second place in the East.
Just because of the difference between each other, they are still in third place in the East.
But exactly…
The Knicks enter their fifth game in December, hosting the New Jersey Nets!
Here’s the chance to knock the Nets off the horse!
Nets head coach “Little General” Johnson also knew the importance of this game to the Nets, and pointed out before the game: “How to defend this team’s three-point shot will be the key to our win!” We did very well in the last game, and this one, I hope we can continue the defensive form we were at that time! ”
These words touched the sensitive nerves of the Knicks gang.
At that time, after playing the Nets, the Knicks all chose to “talk hard”, finding various reasons to explain their loss to the Nets, that is, not recognizing that the Nets are strong.
The main reason, in addition to the fact that they took out the Nets in the playoffs last season, is more important…
They are not convinced!
Especially Ray Allen.
Not to mention the grudges with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
This JJ Redick or something, there is a big problem with the running position, not to mention the awareness of the defensive running position, “Junzi Ray” according to the current state, looking back at the game video at that time, he found that this ball can not score?
Wait, this time I must let you see what kind of level the “league’s first three-point king” is!
Madison Square is still enthusiastic.
Mainly, this third championship flag has just been raised, and their gang has also knelt down to Li Wan, although the current situation is not as dominant as last season, but the record is still the top of the second echelon, the performance of the quasi-first echelon, so quickly “turn over”, this is also too bitch.
Although they are bitches, they don’t want to be such bitches…
Bitches are different from bitches!
To Li Wan, they obeyed!
Of course, in the end, it’s still the grades!
At present, the New York Knicks have the longest “7-game winning streak” among the 30 teams in the league, which seems to be the best team in current form, doesn’t this mean that the “defending champion” is back!
Then what else is there to say!
It’s over!
It can be seen that Johnson really cares about the Knicks’ recent three-point state, and during the warm-up game, he glanced at all the Knicks from time to time.
When he saw them shooting three-point shots in a row, before the game began, he once again stressed to the Nets: “Listen, guys, you must pay attention to each other’s outside line, don’t give them space to shoot three-pointers, suppress their three-point firepower, we can definitely laugh last in this game!” ”
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce also nodded vigorously.
When they saw Ray Allen’s eyes, they knew that this was a war!
And for all the Nets who want to win the championship, they know very well that even if the New York Knicks are not so strong this season, Li Wan’s past “turning decay into magic” operations are still in front of them, so that they can only rest assured by constantly defeating the Knicks who have Li Wan.
Just as soon as they came up, they were first slapped in the head.
Ray Allen received the ball on the flank, his body still floating in the air, and threw the ball into the basket.
JJ Redick had a ghostly look on his face.
You call this “catch-and-shoot”?
This season, Redick played the “strongest season” of his career, averaging 12.8 points per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 43.4 percent from three-point range.
In his first game against the Knicks, he scored 14 points and made three 3-pointers.
Compared to him, Ray Allen was significantly inferior in that game. n cast 1 in 1. At that time he was thinking, belonging to the “new generation” of the shooter class, it came …
But as soon as this game came up, Ray Allen told him with practical actions, what is called “your grandpa or your grandpa”!
This method, Redick felt that he could not compare to it after practicing for another hundred years.
3-0!
The Knicks’ home atmosphere was detonated in the opening game.
The Nets launched a counterattack, Chris Paul faced Ray Allen’s defense, chose to play his own single, Ray Allen did not have too much contact with him, directly put him in the middle range.
The Knicks quickly switched defenses as soon as he entered the three-point line, and Chris Paul looked up to see that the defender in front of him had become Li Wan.
Stepback jump shot…
Not hit!
Kevin Garnett grabbed the offensive rebound and launched a second attack, but encountered Li Wan’s “nail board hat”.
The ball hit the rebound with a dull sound, and Kevin Garnett saw the lost youth.
When did the “wolf king” of that year let people be so “nailed to the big hat”!
The Knicks fought back.
Chris Paul tried to stop Li Wan with a small movement.
But Li Wan has been dealing with him for so many years. He has also learned the methods of “dirty Paul” so many times. Immediately turned sideways and took the initiative to push Paul away.
Immediately exerted his strength again, Paul helplessly reached out and pulled Li Wan’s jersey, but Li Wan rushed too fiercely and directly took him to a stumble.
He is fierce like an “iron man”!
Chris Paul, who sat on the ground, saw the “Nets foul No. 3” signaled by the referee, cried and motioned to his teammates.
Speaking of which, this is also a “little hand-stall master”!
There is something today, the little more 8,000 words, I remember how many words I owe, I will definitely pay it back, please rest assured!
