MTL - Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife-Chapter 207 Advance to round 2
Falling in love with you Kanshu, basketball: starting from the nerve knife
There was still a little time to wait for the game, and Li Wan took another look at the battle report between the Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers.
In the eyes of experts, this round of the series is one of the most suspenseful series in the first round of the playoffs.
The final result did not disappoint the experts...
The Philadelphia 76ers narrowly beat the Magic 97 to 89 with 8 points, won the first victory in the series, and completed the "down to the top".
Andre Miller scored 35 points and 6 assists in this game, blowing out the opposing Felton.
As the No. 1 "monster", Andre Miller is really capable of dealing with those guys who are not as strong as him or have obvious loopholes!
And Howard faced the combination of Stoudemire and Dalembert, and he couldn't take advantage of both offensive and defensive ends. When Gallinari in the fourth position faced the Twin Towers of the 76ers, it was difficult to give enough support to "Warcraft"!
Of course, the most critical question is...
After Howard was restricted, the Magic lacked a "second scorer" who could stand up!
With Vince Carter's current ability, it is really difficult to rely on his singles to bite the offensive end without creating shooting opportunities for him!
Can…
Around Vince Carter's offensive tactics, during the regular season, the Magic did not practice a few sets...
The other side got used to it quickly.
Coupled with Howard's own lack of attractiveness with the ball, it is difficult for Vince Carter to catch the ball comfortably.
In the first game of the series, Vince Carter scored 11 points in the first half, but only scored 5 points in the second half...
However, the media all know what happened to the Magic this past season, so all accountability after the game is directed at Howard.
"What ability is Stoudemire, what ability is Howard?"
"You let Howard hold the ball, can he hold the ball? Those who don't have that ability know!"
"It's all right now. I lost Game 1 of the series, and I'm going to lose Game 2 and Game 3. Then I went home. There's nothing to lose..."
…
Howard was very aggrieved, but in the face of these doubts, he could not find a reason to refute.
18 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, shooting 50% from the field...
Is there a problem with the data?
no problem!
But if a team's head is only this data in the playoffs, then there is a problem...
Howard himself knows that the main problem lies in this aspect!
He must give a more powerful answer on the offensive end in the next game!
Li Wan glanced at the replay of the match.
Just one thought after watching him...
What's going on with Howard now?
Are you so bewildered?
The desire to hold the ball is even higher than Li Wan's impression of going to the Lakers!
Almost every possession wants to rely on his own ball to attack, or attract the defense and pass the ball...
This is really treating himself as a "super center" playing!
But because his defensive appeal is not as good as that of a real "super center", many times the opponent's double-teaming of him is just a fake delay. He ran over, stretched out his hand and went back.
But Howard's own passing ability limits him to some emergency passing operations. When he sees someone delaying, he will pass the ball immediately. As soon as the ball reaches the outside line, the delayed defender on the opposite side returns to his opponent.
It is equivalent to saying that holding the ball attracts loneliness and consumes time.
But Howard dared to show his hands towards his teammates...
I have all the vacancies, why can't you make the shot?
he can't figure it out...
Vince Carter had two rounds, and because of this, he hit the iron and was greeted by him!
The degree of bewilderment really exceeded Li Wan's imagination...
Could it be that I put too much pressure on him?
Ok…
This possibility is really possible, after all, he got a "Galaxy Battleship", tied the best record in history with 72 wins and 10 losses, and averaged 3 doubles per game in his personal season...
If Li Wan is Howard, he must also be "Alexander"!
Most people who have been impatient for a long time will gradually lose their minds...
Gaze back to the TV.
The game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs has begun.
On the first attack, the Spurs scored smoothly. They looked really good tonight at home. After scoring the first goal, they scored the next few attacks one after another.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs also had a slight advantage of 29 to 26.
Popovich also seemed to know that this advantage was nothing. In the second quarter, he raised his hands and yelled on the sidelines. Amidst his urging, the Spurs opened the point difference to 8 points at the end of halftime.
This advantage is a bit obvious.
Especially when this team is still the Spurs.
This season, when they led by more than 8 points, the number of games they lost in the end was not many.
From this point of view, the impact of Tim Duncan and Ginobili's unhealed injuries is not very great...
Or let me cover it with rotation?
As expected of me!
Popovich arranged tactics in the midfield. Looking at the leading score, he couldn't help but secretly opened a bottle of "champagne" in his heart.
But at 3 minutes and 14 seconds into the second half, the situation changed suddenly, and the Spurs' methodical offensive rhythm suddenly appeared problematic. The Grizzlies defended their offense for 5 consecutive rounds, and took advantage of the situation to play a wave of 6-0 scoring. The point difference was reduced to 2 points.
Called a timeout directly to Popovich.
But this timeout did not make the Spurs recover. Instead, it was another wave of suffocating defense by the Grizzlies, allowing the Spurs to make 2 of 6 shots in the following period...
Six minutes into the third quarter, the Spurs haven't even scored 10 points...
The Grizzlies took a step closer and officially overtook the score.
Leading 57 to 54!
Tony Allen has a full sense of presence on the defensive end during this time, and he cut off Tony Parker many times alone...
Popovich called another timeout.
But the Spurs are exhausted, but the Grizzlies can continue to improve their defensive strength.
At 6 minutes and 15 seconds of the fourth quarter, Tim Duncan had a poignant scene:
After grabbing the second rebound in the front court, his first attack was blocked by Gasol Jr., the ball fell into his hands, and his second shot was blocked by Zach Randolph.
When he was about to take the third shot, Mike Conley rushed out of nowhere and stole the ball directly from him.
The Grizzlies counterattacked, and the point difference was unknowingly led by them by 8 points...
Conley succeeded in the steal, and Tim Duncan didn't return to the defense quickly when he landed, but put his hands on his knees, panting heavily, and his old appearance made the Spurs fans on the scene suddenly react. Since 1997, Tim Duncan was selected -Duncan, in his 14th year in San Antonio...
Tim Duncan, who has been as stable as an old dog for so many years, often makes Spurs fans feel that time has never left any traces on this "facial paralysis".
But at this moment, they really felt:
turn out to be…
"Stone Buddha" will also grow old!
The final score was 92 to 81. The Grizzlies took the lead in winning the first game of the series at home in San Antonio with an 11-point advantage.
This is naturally an unexpected result.
The media reports on the second day shocked the experts who had sworn before the series that "the Spurs will definitely sweep the Grizzlies 4-0" dropped their jaws.
However, at this moment, they can still speak hard, this is the first game of the series.
"Even if we lose this game, it doesn't prove anything..."
"Who doesn't eat turkey for Christmas! The Grizzlies just ate turkey, and it won't change the result!"
"The Spurs have been leading in the first half. It was only at the beginning of the third quarter that their offense went wrong, which allowed the Grizzlies to seize the opportunity! Such a situation will never happen again!"
…
But then the Grizzlies won Game 2 of the series and headed back to Memphis with a 2-0 lead.
When all members of the Grizzlies team showed up at the Memphis airport, the fans of the Grizzlies team spontaneously came to pick up the plane, and the eager welcome of the Grizzlies team showed a warm current in the hearts of all the Grizzlies team members.
Many years later, when Mike Conley recalled this scene, he still couldn’t forget the expressions of the Memphis people at this moment. He said: “At that time, I really realized what an amazing thing Li Wan did. What a great thing you are doing!"
It was obviously not only him who was inspired, but also Zach Randolph, Gasol...all the Grizzlies players realized at this moment that they were fighting for the city!
This fighting spirit made the burning fire in their hearts even more blazing, and they successfully won the third game of the series...
3-0!
When the big score came to such a score, no matter how stubborn the expert was, his mouth softened at this moment, admitting that he spoke a little loudly to the Grizzlies at the beginning.
They're starting to look at this Grizzlies...
"Their defensive ability is underrated, and the toughness of this team is underrated! Well...these guys are the underrated bunch, and Memphis is an underrated city!"
The outside world changed their minds one after another, and the Memphis people were completely climaxed. In the fourth game of the series, a large number of Memphis people poured into the arena. They want to witness with their own eyes that this team completed the fifth "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history!
And the day before the game...
Indiana, Conseco Arena.
The New York Knicks and the Pacers took the lead in the fourth game of the series.
Before the game, the atmosphere in the arena was a bit dull.
There are still quite a lot of Indianans who came to the arena to watch the game tonight, and the entire arena was at least 90% full, but the big score of 3-0 overwhelmed them, and they couldn't be happy.
Although before the start of the series, they knew that the Pacers' loss to the Knicks was an inevitable ending. As a youth team, this is their "compulsory course":
If you want to win, learn to lose first!
But now the problem is...
This "class" was really painful.
In the first three games, the average loss was 31.4 points per game!
Almost halftime is over, and there is no suspense in the game.
They are really afraid that after the "tuition fee" is paid, these Indiana cubs don't want to go to school anymore...
So, how important this "teacher" is.
A good teacher is persuasive and persuasive, so that students can't help but be full of hope for the future and can't wait to meet new challenges; but if they meet that kind of perverted teacher, they will really ruin the students!
The current New York Knicks are such "bad teachers".
No, in the fourth game of the series, they didn't hold back from the very beginning, and the Pacers seemed to be fixed by iron rods, unable to move, and could only endure silently...
They, the audience, can only watch the Pacers being played with...
When the third quarter ended and the Knicks led by more than 30 points again, a thought popped up in the minds of Pacers fans:
It seems that losing 4 games in a row is not bad...
As far as the current situation is concerned, getting out early and getting rid of it early can be regarded as a kind of "blessing"...
In the end, there were no twists and turns in this game. The New York Knicks once again killed the Pacers, officially sending the latter out 4-0.
When the whistle sounded, Li Wan hugged Paul George who was closest to him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Man, your career has just begun, and the future is yours!"
George, who was still depressed at first, really eased up a little when he heard Li Wan's words.
I don't know if it was because after the first two games of the series, Frank felt that the Pacers were hopeless and wanted to leave; or he had already begun to look forward to the future.
In short, the important task of defending Li Wan was entrusted to him.
Then in the two games that just ended, he was educated by Li Wan in various ways, and he knew what the top outside players in the league looked like.
He has to admit that even if Li Wan is like the current president of the Pacers, he only fights with his left hand and keeps his right hand for the second round, he can't defend at all...
This gap like a natural moat brought him a sense of frustration, even stronger than the frustration of losing the game.
But after hearing what Li Wan said to him, he felt that his efforts should have had some influence on Li Wan, making the latter recognize him.
The mood is not so low.
But it didn't last too long. When he saw Li Wan's game statistics:
38 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, shooting 50% from the field, 42.8% from the three-point range, and 80% from the free throw line...
1 turnover, followed by 2 fouls.
Look at your data again:
4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls…
Thinking about it again, Li Wan didn't just perform so well in this game...
In the 4 games that have been played in the series, Li Wan averaged 34.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game!
This is the data he got when he averaged only 31.4 minutes per game...
Such a gap...
Not to mention surpassing, how long will it take me to catch up!
Paul George suddenly raised his head, looked at the back of the Knicks No. 25 who was walking away, and wanted to rush up immediately to stop him: You said the future is mine, are you serious? is that true? Do you dare to say that NBA players don't lie to NBA players?
Also in doubt is Denver's Carmelo Anthony.
Tonight is also Game 4 of the series between the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets.
The Nuggets, who were able to fight the Lakers in 6 games in the Western Conference Finals two years ago, met the Lakers again in this year's playoffs, but they didn't even survive the fourth game.
Billups is really old, and he has lost his best helper.
It's really...
too difficult!
At the final whistle, 98-108, the Nuggets lost Game 4 of the series, their last chance.
This opportunity was not seized, and the final big score was fixed:
4-0!
They are eliminated!
Kobe ran to hug him: "Your performance is good enough!"
It was this sentence that made Carmelo Anthony doubtful:
my performance...
Is it really good enough?
He glanced at his stat sheet. In four games, he averaged 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game...
like…
Good enough indeed!
At least compared to Kobe's 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists, it's not bad at all!
So why can't I win?
Carmelo Anthony's gaze continues to slide...
For the Lakers, except for Kobe, the data of the others are:
Deron Williams averaged 18.5 points and 8 assists per game;
Pau Gasol averaged 16.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game
and also…
Bynum averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds per game!
Look at the Nuggets here:
Except for Chauncey Billups who had 16 points and 7 assists on the sidelines.
Among the others, there is not much data to see.
Then Anthony will understand...
Why can't he win the game when his performance is good enough!
He needs help!
A few more teammates like Chauncey, or another teammate stronger than Chauncey!
As long as this condition is met...
He believes that he will definitely achieve greater success!
So, on the night of being eliminated, Carmelo Anthony called his agent and asked him to have a good chat with the general manager of the Nuggets about the reinforcement work in the summer.
I don’t know if I suddenly thought of my age. I’m already 27 years old, but I haven’t made it to the finals. Thinking about it, even Kobe recognized his performance and thought he was good enough. The last sentence was particularly strong: If this summer If there is no good reinforcement result, then trade me!
Denver's undercurrent is surging, and more media attention is still focused on the playoffs.
April 25.
The playoffs of the 2010-11 season passed unknowingly, and a week passed.
Last night, both the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference produced the first team to eliminate their opponents and reach the second round of the playoffs.
The New York Knicks in the east, and the Los Angeles Lakers in the west!
For a while, the names of Li Wan and Kobe were put together again...
It is worth mentioning that since Deron Williams came to Los Angeles, the Los Angeles media have committed the same old problems again. Seeing that the New York Knicks also reached the second round of the playoffs without a fight, and the Lakers They also swept away their opponents, and they immediately became excited:
You better make it to the finals!
We are waiting for you in the finals...
They want revenge in 2009!
Naturally, it is impossible for the New York media to let the Los Angeles media provoke their own "urban dad" so much, and immediately set off a wave of counterattacks.
The exchange of fire between the largest and second largest cities in the United States was earth-shattering.
The official announcement of the "Best Head Coach Award of the Season" and "Best General Manager Award" did not attract any attention.
All the New York media and Los Angeles media are busy with one thing:
Speak harshly!
After arguing like this for two days, the New York media discovered, oh, the "Best Head Coach of the Season" and the "Best General Manager of the Season" are actually our New York Knicks...
Immediately, the event was celebrated again.
D'Antoni won this award for the second time in his career, the last time was with the Suns. However, it was also his encounter with the Suns that made him very clear that this broken award is worthless!
Or the name "Champion Coach" is more bluffing...
So he didn't have the slightest joy, he only thought about the New York Knicks winning the championship!
Donnie Walsh is quite happy. After all, there are so many wonderful operations this summer, and there is even a suffocating "Heat Big Three peak group"...
Last summer, say:
Fairies fight!
Really not too much!
In the end, he defeated others and won this award. This is definitely the most valuable one among the "Best General Manager Awards" over the years...
Of course, he knew very well that he was able to defeat Pat Laili mainly because of Li Wan and the others, without the 72 wins and 10 losses that tied the best record in history...
I'm afraid he can't compete with Pat Larry!
Li Wan is really my lucky star!
April 26th…
The second day after the New York Knicks eliminated the Pacers, the Grizzlies led 3-0 at their home court and ushered in Game 4 of the series.
The Grizzlies home court, which usually only has more than 18,000 seats, had a total of nearly 20,000 fans tonight, and even the fan aisle was crowded.
Looking at such enthusiastic Grizzlies fans, each of these Grizzlies players also had decisive belief in their eyes. From the very first moment of the game, they put up a suffocating defense!
Speaking of which, it was originally this round of the series that transformed the entire Grizzlies into a frightening "reverse team" in the West.
And now, transformation is coming as expected!
The Spurs gradually lost themselves in this "meat grinder" defense.
Tim Duncan lost weight for two consecutive seasons, and the foreshadowing planted was also revealed at this moment.
Without tonnage, he lost the "autonomy" of the low position. Whether facing Zach Randolph or Gasol Jr., he can only passively accept everything.
"Stone Buddha" has become a "clay Buddha" that cannot protect itself...
Although there has been a saying among Spurs fans:
A sports car in adversity is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation slashes demons!
But if Tim Duncan loses his matchup dominance, even if Ginobili breaks the waist of his water snake, he can still only watch the team's point difference continue to widen.
4 points…
6 points…
8 points!
The gap is getting bigger and bigger, but the time is getting less and less.
When the final buzzer sounded, Popovich covered his face in desperation…
The spurs…
Was "black eight"!
The cheers at the scene were louder and louder at this moment, "Gao Le Gao"...
Even uncontrolled front row fans flooded into the arena together, and surrounded Zach Randolph who was standing in the center of the court and shed tears of gratitude.
It doesn't matter what the impression this rough-looking "big black bear" has left on the league in the past, and no matter how unpopular he was once.
Available in Memphis…
He is the hero of this city!
The fifth "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history was born!
this time...
Remember our name, Zach Randolph, and his Grizzlies!
Mike Conley was also very excited and kept muttering:
I did it, I did it!
I did it too!
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Spurs left the court with their heads bowed.
In the 2010-11 season, he swept the entire league with fast-paced play, won 61 wins and won the first place in the Western Conference, and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!
Early the next morning, this "Black Eight Miracle" also became the headlines of the major media...
The Ohio State News once again used two pages to introduce this "Black Eight Miracle", and the headlines are particularly eye-catching: The NBA has "Black Eight Miracles" for the second consecutive year, with players from Ohio State University in the first year, and Ohio State University players in the second year. State University players.
Mike Conley also pulled the "group chat" immediately.
Li Wan spoke first before he got angry: "Before you get black, I'm already black!"
Conley: …
He chose to turn his gun around and said to Greg Oden: "Brother, can you do it? I'm already waiting for the second round, are you coming or not? No, no, not even Even the Thunder can't solve it?"
These words caused Greg Oden to experience layer after layer of "forehead wrinkles", and he suddenly aged a few years.
They are fifth in the Western Conference this season, and they met the most talented "Thunderstorm" in the league in the first round. If Luo Yin hadn't been injured, the talents of the three of them could still meet this opponent, but this season Luo Yin Yin was injured, and there were only him and Aldridge. It was really difficult to play against the Thunder!
At present, they have played 4 games and are tied 2-2...
Looked okay, each won two games, but the fifth game was at the Thunder's home court, and they all lost by more than 10 points at the Thunder's home court...
I really don't have much hope of winning...
When Mike Conley heard this, Niu coaxed: "It's okay, it's okay, even if you lose, I will avenge you when the time comes!"
Auden rolled his eyes, didn't make steamed buns to fight for breath, and said "wait for me", and he "exited the group chat".
Li Wan saw that Conley was still a little unsatisfied, and immediately said, "I'll wait for you in the finals!"
After finishing speaking, I left immediately...
"I…"
Conley watched the screen go black and could only shut up in embarrassment.
Although he won the Spurs and was still a "black eight", he really didn't dare to make a final appointment with Li Wan. The Lakers are too domineering...
Cook watched everyone exit the "video conference" and silently closed the video...
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Seeing these buddies getting better and better, he really felt envious from the bottom of his heart...
If Mike Conley was with him in the first two seasons of his career, then from the third season of his career, he has slowly fallen behind the others.
After Li Wan and Greg Oden secured the All-Star starting position, Mike Conley's data gradually reached the league's top point guard level...
Only him, as the Heat formed the "Big Three", his playing time was further compressed, and he has now become a marginal player on the team, and he hasn't even played 60 games this season.
In Spoelstra's system, he is already a dispensable sacrificial child.
And for the Heat, whose salary space is already tight, every penny this summer has to be used wisely. It is basically impossible for him to get a contract extension with this team...
But in terms of his playing time...
And the embarrassing data of 3.4 points and 2 rebounds per game...
If the Heat don't renew his contract, will other teams renew his contract?
Maybe this will be his last season in the NBA!
Although I have a hunch that I will be the first among the four to be eliminated by the alliance, but it's only been four years, isn't it a bit too fast?
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app! It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Ok…
From a talent point of view, maybe...
This is inevitable again!
There is indeed a gap visible to the naked eye between his talent and the other three...
"Buzz~"
But at this time, the phone vibrated. It was a text message from Li Wan. When I opened it, I saw a short sentence:
—Keep working hard, opportunities belong to those who are prepared!
These words warmed Cook's heart.
Originally, when he watched the three people quit the "group chat" one after another, he thought that everyone had subconsciously ignored him.
did not expect…
Li Wan still noticed his emotions.
Otherwise, he couldn't have sent such a paragraph!
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
Two more pieces of information, from Conley and Oden:
— Don't worry, brother, you can do it!
— Come on, buddy, don't worry, the difficulty is only temporary!
In fact, from a long time ago, Cook felt that he met the best teammates in his basketball career in college, and at this moment, he was even more convinced of this...
two words:
Tears!
He couldn't care less about being depressed!
After getting up and packing up, I ran to the arena for extra practice.
—Maybe this still cannot escape the fate of being eliminated by this alliance, but before I am officially eliminated, I will do my best!
Cook did not send out this sentence, but wrote it in his memo to motivate himself.
April 30.
American Airlines Arena in Miami.
Game 6 of the Heat-Eagle series.
At 4 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two sides was 90 to 80.
The Heat's lead.
The advantage is obvious, but not enough for the Heat to win the game. So Spoelstra's expression is still very serious.
The current big lead is the Heat, 3 to 2.
But if this game is lost, the big score between the Heat and the Eagles will become 3 to 3.
No game is more uncertain than "tie-break".
On the line of life and death, no one knows what problems will arise during the competition.
So winning tonight's game is very important!
"All!"
The referee's whistle sounded at this time.
Spoelstra was a little uneasy when he saw the foul number indicated by the referee: "Hey, man, what the **** are you doing!"
Following his line of sight, it is James Jones, the "three-point king" of this year's All-Star Weekend.
The foul was his fifth of the game.
Among the previous 5 fouls, 2 fouls were the same as this time:
After switching defenses, if he didn't switch back in time, he could only stop with a foul!
This has nothing to do with defensive ability, this is distraction...
And the reason he was distracted was because he was 0 for 4 from beyond the arc tonight...
The downturn on the offensive end made him always thinking that he must make up for it on the offensive end. As a result, he was always looking for the ball...
It was also he who lost his mind again and again and paid for the foul.
Just now Spoelstra cursed.
Immediately, he gestured to a figure on the bench: "Dai Kui'en, come on!"
When Cook heard his name, he froze for a moment, and when Chris Bosh got up to play next to him, he stabbed him together.
He really didn't expect that he would be taken on stage at such a critical moment.
Looking at the frustrated James Jones, he really wanted to hold the latter's hand and say happily: Thank you!
As for whether this kind of mentality of "dead friends will never die poor people" is a villain, he can't care about it.
With his current status on the team...
Such a situation must occur to have his playing time, right?
Taking a deep breath and stepping onto the court, Cook concentrated on the game. The Eagles just made two free throws and chased the point difference to 8 points.
The Heat counterattacked. After Wade came up to catch the ball this round, he gave it to LeBron again.
There is still time in the game, and he has to save effort to play the last 5 minutes.
Right now, LeBron James has to get the ball.
The "little emperor" held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the flank and observed the Eagles' running position. In the last 5 seconds of the attack time, he broke through with "hot eyes" and found Cook, who was open, and threw the ball into his hands.
Nice pass!
Cook adjusted slightly, but shot without hesitation.
The ball fell into the net!
"Nice!"
LeBron James offered to high-five Cook.
Secretly muttered in my heart: This guy feels good, you can continue to help him create vacancies!
Spoelstra's expression didn't change much. Instead, he glanced at James Jones on the bench. He replaced Jones, just wanting him to calm down.
In his heart, James Jones must be more useful.
It's just that I didn't expect Cook to be so powerful, and he scored one as soon as he came up.
Now James Jones should have a sense of crisis, right?
Ok!
It's right to have a sense of crisis!
Let's see if you still can't get distracted!
At this moment, what he was thinking about was putting James Jones on the court in the first few minutes.
After all, 5 fouls, you have to think about it.
But in less than 3 minutes, when Dai Quinn Curry received LeBron's "extreme pass" again and completed a 3-point goal. The way he looked at Cook changed slightly.
At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that it seemed that Daequan Cook was also an important member of the Heat's rotation in the past...
Since when did I forget him?
He can't remember...
Cook's "scoring show" continues.
He found that the other party had no defense against him at all...
Head coach of the Eagles: You guy who only played 6 minutes in the playoffs, what am I doing against you?
Suddenly such a "Cheng Yaojin" came out, the head coach of the Eagles had no choice but to call a timeout.
Spoelstra looked at Cook who was drinking water, then at Jones on the bench, and finally broke his heart:
Fuck Jones!
Give me a good reflection on the bench!
You are really outrageous tonight!
The moment Cook knew he could continue to play, he let out a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that he would be replaced by Spoelstra.
With the psychological burden removed, Cook is more comfortable, and he has LeBron James as a good teammate, so he doesn't have to worry about making shots.
At 10 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter, he hit a three-pointer again.
After his goal, the point difference came to more than 12 points...
In the end, 109 to 96, the Heat relied on his x factor to smoothly win the sixth game of the series and advance to the second round of the playoffs!
After the game, Cook also stood under the spotlight.
Although it is not in the center, it is obviously much better than the previous "Dogs Don't Pay Attention".
One of the reporters asked:
"Tonight's state is very good. Before the start of this game, did you think that you could play such a performance?"
Cook really wanted to shout out Li Wan's words. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared...
But he who is familiar with "Emotional Intelligence" is very clear that saying this is to put Spoelstra on the fire. So I opened my mouth very modestly: "I didn't expect it, I can only say that my luck is good tonight..."
Li Wan also found out about this the next day.
He was not surprised.
In fact, the original Cook also won the "Three-Point Shooting Contest" at the All-Star Weekend.
Only this time, because of the rivalry with Mike Conley, the strength is stronger!
As a result, he did not get this award as he originally did.
But under the stimulation of Li Wan and others, he must be more diligent than before...
God rewarded him for such a night, in Li Wan's opinion, it really wasn't too much...
He also believes that the 3-for-3 in the fourth quarter of this playoff game will also allow him to regain some of Spoelstra's trust.
If there is another similar performance in the next game, I'm afraid I don't have to worry about the contract renewal this summer!
Every point in the playoffs is more convincing than in the regular season!
The team that broke out at the same time as the Heat was the Nets...
The Bulls, who were supposed to enter the Eastern Conference finals this season, ended up in the first round...
The Nets staged a "black seven" and eliminated the second place in the Eastern Conference 4-2!
This result made Li Wan a little bit embarrassed. This should have been the most brilliant season for Derrick Rose and the Bulls. It's a pity that because of the "butterfly effect" he brought, they have been a bit bleak this season.
Not to mention the elimination in the first round, the record of the youngest "regular season MVP" in history may have nothing to do with Rose...
However, at this point in the "Butterfly Effect", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is beyond Li Wanneng's control.
Besides, Derrick Rose this season is a bit miserable, but he reached the Eastern Conference finals in the first two seasons of his career, and his results are much better than his original ones!
It can only be said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and if there is a loss, there must be a gain...
In addition, as the Heat entered the second round of the playoffs, the media also discovered an interesting phenomenon:
In 2007, Ohio's "four little ones", except for Greg Oden, everyone else has entered the second round of the playoffs.
If the Trail Blazers also enter, then Ohio will undoubtedly create another record!
Last summer, the University of Kentucky stole the show. All five players in the draft were selected in the first round...
This broke the record set by the Ohio "Little Four" at the time...
But now, Ohio State University can finally stand upright again: the draft is just for fun, it depends on the quality
It's the playoffs! You five players from Kentucky were selected in the first round together, which is awesome, but the playoffs are the "dinner meal", why can't you see your people?
At the same time, the "tie-break" between the Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers also came to fruition...
After a fierce battle, the Magic defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 98-90.
The results of the four teams entering the second round of the Eastern Conference have been announced, and the grouping has been officially announced:
Nets vs Heat!
and also…
New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic!
In the first season after Li Wan left Orlando, he met the Magic in the playoffs...
