Chapter 352 My Stupid Apprentice, Let My Master Teach You One Last Move!
"It's too hard, it's too hard, Li Wan is really too hard!"
"To be honest, the offense and defense in the last few rounds, I really feel like Michael Jordan is playing!"
"The number of offensive and defensive rounds in basketball now, as well as the transition speed are much faster than in the past. Under such circumstances, he played such an amazing performance on both ends of the offense and defense at the last moment. Li Wan really deserves to be a 'God'!"
……
Obviously it wasn't just Thibodeau who was defeated, the fans on the Internet were also dumbfounded.
After Barkley explained the game, he still felt that he was not enough to boast in the TNT studio, and even sent a real-time dynamic on Twitter: "Really a warrior!"
There are also various praises from the major media.
While praising Li Wan, Kevin Durant was also ridiculed by the crowd.
Especially the "New York Times", they specially posted two photos, one photo was his high-spirited appearance when he said in an interview after the game that "we have no opponents in the East"; Always blowing up, sitting in the post-match press conference with a slumped look.
This "one positive and one negative" formed a sharp contrast, and the effect of the program was full.
In fact, since last night, a large number of netizens have appeared under Kevin Durant's Twitter, leaving exactly the same message, asking Kevin Durant, is there still no opponent in the Eastern Conference?
Kevin Durant, who was already depressed, felt his chest was congested when he saw the private message and the comments on Twitter.
But now his mind is full of images of himself being completely blown up by Li Wan at the critical moment, and he is actually not even thinking about the most decompressed "keyboard discussion", tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Finally, it was not until after 5 o'clock in the morning that I fell asleep drowsily.
As a result, Li Wan didn't "let go" of him in the dream, and actually staged "Inception", where he dunked all kinds of crazy things on his head. He didn't know how many times he was dunked. Li Wan's cold voice came:
"You'll never try to beat me, Kevin!"
It was this sentence that directly woke up Kevin Durant.
Breathing heavily.
I keep rejoicing:
Fortunately, it is a dream, fortunately, it is a dream!
But just now he comforted himself a few words, but his nose turned sore for no reason.
What just happened was indeed a dream...
But in reality, hasn't he defeated Li Wan even once?
Not a dream, better than a dream!
I really……
Is it impossible to defeat Li Wan?
In fact, after coming to the Bulls last summer, Kevin Durant has always believed that he will definitely not fall into the hands of Li Wan this time.
The phrase "we have no opponents in the East" is not a casual talk.
But really think so.
Just kidding, he is the regular season MVP, plus Derrick Rose, the quasi-regular season MVP, plus Jimmy Butler, the endorser of Plan B approved by Li Wan...
Let's take a look at another spokesperson for Plan B that Li Wan has spotted!
Jie became the new NBA regular season MVP within two years...
In other words, Jimmy Butler is completely "future regular season MVP"!
In front of the three MVPs, even if Li Wan is the goat, he should kneel down, right?
Not to mention Chris Bosh and Wiggins, among these two, Chris Bosh is 33 years old, and he also took a year off during the period. He is definitely not in his peak state now, at most he is a complete Star level, and Wiggins is still improving. Kevin Durant is already good enough, but it took him a lot of time to grow from "scoring champion" to "regular season MVP".
Wiggins' current stage, let's put it this way, "half-step All-Star"!
Li Wan only has these two helpers, how can he fight against the three of them?
And from the process of the first game, it can be seen that the Bulls' sudden change of tactics made Chris Bosh and Wiggins unable to deal with it directly, but under such circumstances, Li Wan stood up. Come out, with the power of one person, block the attack of the three of them...
It is true that there is a system blessing of "give the ball to Li Wan's tactics", but this is too...
So awesome, right?
This is why Kevin Durant is so desperate.
Can such a guy really win?
However, when the team gathered in the afternoon, Thibodeau was in a good mood. He watched last night's game and replayed the whole process. He is sure that as long as there are 10 more minutes, the Bulls can definitely beat Columbus. Explorers.
Because Li Wan was indeed "at the end of his strength" at that time, and he might collapse at any time, but the time left for the Bulls was running out...
But Mirotic played as a "surprise soldier", and that started in the second quarter.
If the first quarter starts, the Bulls can put up the "odd array" of the previous game...
Will we be able to see Li Wan being dragged to "death"?
He knew very well what the public opinion outside was like, so he specially expressed his thoughts before the training started.
The effect is still very obvious...
It can be seen from the expression of Kevin Durant.
When he first came to the arena, the guy's face was full of frustration, and after Thibodeau finished his discovery, his face began to shine with hope.
It seems to have regained confidence!
"Guys, believe in yourself, we can walk away from the home of the Columbus Explorers with a win!"
At the same time, the Grand Navigation Arena.
Everyone from the Columbus Explorers team has also gathered in the arena to prepare for training.
Wiggins and Chris Bosh looked very serious.
In the battle last night, judging from the data, their performance was not bad, but judging from the process, it can be said that they didn't give Li Wan enough help after the second quarter.
When the whole team replayed the first game together, the two of them watched their sleepwalking performance, and their faces were hot.
This made them look different at the moment, and the training was full of seriousness.
Even at the end of the daily training, when everyone left the arena one after another, they still turned a deaf ear and concentrated on their own extra training.
There was the same fire in the eyes of the two people:
In the second game of the Eastern Conference finals, Li Wan must be given enough help!
In the name of "two (three) masters"!
As night fell, they just finished extra training.
And thousands of miles away in San Antonio.
The sixth game of the series between the Spurs and the Warriors also arrived as scheduled.
Popovich is a man with a grudge.
Although Leonard was "not" injured, his most beloved disciple was stepped on. Can he not avenge this revenge?
If you don't report, you are not a Spurs!
Steve Kerr...
My stupid apprentice!
Let the teacher teach you one trick at the end!
The ultimate esoteric "turn off the air conditioner" was used by Popovich.
On the way home, Kevin Durant listened to the radio and said that the air conditioner at the Spurs home court tonight could not be turned on due to disrepair. He immediately recalled the Western Conference Finals that year, and his unforgettable memories in the Spurs .
It's also "the air conditioner is broken". At the end of the game, he felt that he was wearing a "water jacket", and he himself seemed to be dehydrated. As long as he fell, he would be exhausted. I can't get up anymore.
In such an environment, he sprained his ankle in the end...
Thinking about it now, he shivered subconsciously.
It's really..."devil"!
When he thought that the Warriors were going to play in such a "devil's home court" tonight, he felt sorry for Stephen Curry... Well, although Stephen Curry still lost to Li Wan in the three-point contest, but... ...Kevin Durant, the person identified by this person, will not be easily changed.
When Steve Kerr entered the arena, he was furious and cursed.
Could he not know what Popovich was thinking?
The most important thing is that the Spurs played 5 minutes late tonight... This means that the Warriors waited another 5 minutes in this environment where the air can be scorching.
This will certainly be fined by the league.
but……
Popovich: 5 dollars, in exchange for a game victory, if you were me, would you change it?
The answer goes without saying.
Such a strange move gave the Spurs a head start.
In the opening game, they successfully played a wave of 7-1 scoring.
The sweltering arena made the Warriors feel like they were panting for two steps, and the old "little fast spirit" was gone.
Leonard, who was not "injured", seemed to be really not "injured". He continued the state before he accidentally injured Pachulia's foot in the last game, and hit the ball in various positions to the basket.
At this moment, let alone other people, even Popovich felt that his "successor to Tim" might really be a machine.
You know, although I entered the game 5 minutes late and stayed here for about 45 minutes less than the Warriors, what kind of environment is this?Even if you stay in such a hot place with no air circulation, you will feel uncomfortable even if you just stay for 10 minutes. This is a human body instinct. Just look at the state of the "Heaven's Proud Son" in such an environment. up.
At this moment, the test is the spiritual power of a person...
As long as Leonard stays on the court, it seems that he will not be disturbed by any external factors.
This performance surprised Popovich.
The Spurs thus established a lead, and in the following time, extended this advantage to the end.In Game 6 of the final series, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 109-100 at their home court by relying on the "turn off the air conditioner" tactic.
The "Splash" brothers were evaporated under the high temperature tonight. The two made a total of 15 three-pointers and only hit 3 goals...
As for LeBron James, when there were 6 minutes left in the last quarter tonight, he suffered leg cramps and was carried off by the team doctor. Before leaving the field, his statistics were 16 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Just look at these three items Data, still omnipotent...
But if you study it carefully, you will find that it is unsightly... 41% shooting rate, 6 for 0 three-pointers, and as many as 5 turnovers.
In this extremely harsh game environment, LeBron James has been greatly affected.
The three of them played so poorly that even though Green and Iguodala played superbly and scored at various baskets, they still lost by 9 points.
Steve Kerr's face kept crying until the game whistle sounded, and when he turned his head, his former "mentor" Popovich was looking at him with a seemingly smirk, waiting to shake his hand.
He showed a helpless expression.
I have to admit that his teacher taught him another lesson.
Big score 3 to 3 tie!
After the game, LeBron James' leg cramps were met with a lot of ridicule.
The reason is also very simple. You LeBron James is known as the "Heaven's Proud Son". Your physical talent is the first and the best in the history of the league. Why do you have cramps instead of others?
To be honest, these words are a bit inhumane. After all, this is an injury. Whether it is fans or the media, it should be more worried about LeBron James' situation, rather than cynicism.
but……
Such is the way of the world.
Just like a certain basketball novel, every chapter will mention LeBron James, a complete "little black boy", so many book fans are bored and fatigued by this, and there have been many dissatisfied the sound of……
Now that the frequency of "blackness" is high, we have to bear the voice of dissatisfaction.
The same is true for LeBron James. He is "the proud son of heaven", "the first talent", "the ruler of the world" and even "self-proclaimed goat" in various marketing. When he behaved, he was complained about.
This is the case now.
You can't eat the bonus, and you don't allow others to talk about it, right?
That will only usher in greater dissatisfaction.
In the latter part of LeBron James' career, the number of his blacks rose sharply, including the increasing frequency of some "passer-by fans" turning "black", which has a lot to do with his fans' criticism.
A small team vividly interpreted those twelve characters: question the "fan circle", understand the "fan circle", become a "fan circle"...
Of course, the power of "Zhan fans" in this world is far from that strong.
But the media company bought by LeBron James is still building momentum for his talent and self-discipline one after another!
This caused him to suffer from leg cramps right now, and instead caused many media to start "tucao mode"...
The Spurs and the Warriors are determined to play a "tie-break".
The other group of semifinals in the West ended the "tie-break" one day later. In the end, the Hornets were even better, defeating the Trail Blazers for the second consecutive year and advancing to the final Western Conference Finals.
The Trail Blazers perfectly strengthened the third position in the summer, and waited for the further growth of CJ McCrum at the second position, but they still failed to climb the mountain of the Hornets.
but……
Portland fans are as satisfied as they were last year.
The reason is also very simple:
"The Hornets haven't won a game at our home court!"
"We are completely lost because we have no advantage!"
"A failure like this is never a failure!"
……
They insisted that this year the Portland Trail Blazers had a tie with the Hornets, because if there is an eighth game in the series, it will be played at the home court of the Trail Blazers. They believe that the final big score must be 4-4!
They can't take the Hornets at the New Orleans Arena, and the Hornets can't take them at the Rose Garden.
Speaking of which, the Hornets seem to agree with this statement. After the game, they gave the Portland Trail Blazers the biggest Rui Sibai.
Then one or two began to look forward to the Western Conference Finals.
Last year's "tie-break" lost to the Warriors, which made them very unconvinced.
This year……
Even if the Warriors have LeBron James joining, they firmly believe that they will be able to settle the account with the Warriors!
This time, let us fight against "Li"!
Half an hour after the end of this round of the Western Conference semifinals, the second game of the series between the Explorers and the Bulls officially started at the Age of Navigation Arena.
The expressions of Wiggins and Chris Bosh when they played today are just like the expressions of Yang and Su when they rapped on the peak, full of anger.You can tell by their expressions that they want to find their way back.
And one more angry man...
It's Tyronn Lue!
Although the Columbus Explorers won the last game.
But winning is not so easy...
Especially compared with Thibodeau on the opposite side, he looks even more dull.
Regardless of whether it was the decisive replacement of Gibson in the second quarter and the use of Mirotic, or the arrangement against Li Wan in the fourth quarter, even if the second arrangement did not work well, it was because Li Wan was too strong. It's not human to be able to resist the opponent's "focused fire attack" when the red light is already on!
On the other hand, in Tyronn Lu's first game in the Eastern Conference finals, there was no arrangement other than Li Wan who died.
With Li Wan, he can do whatever he wants, everyone knows this, but you are doing too much!
As a head coach, Columbus played to the end of the lineup and played "Li Wan", is this plausible?
You must know that Thibodeau on the opposite side is a head coach known for his defensive tactics. On the offensive end, he does not have very deep attainments. It is said that Tyronn Lue, who can figure out the "give the ball to Li Wan tactic", should not be inferior to him on the offensive end. Thibodeau is bright!
In addition, the last moment was too greedy for time to let Li Wan rest, and almost let Kevin Durant chase the point difference to 3 points...
In short, one after another, the outside media is full of complaints!
Tyronn Lue naturally wants to get back on the field.
After careful research, he released his first big move at the beginning of the game...
Thibodeau was still thinking before the game, this time he directly took out the Bulls' new offensive formation, which can definitely take advantage from the beginning.
It's not that he underestimated Tyronn Lue's ability to adjust.
But he is very clear that Mirotic and Noah have a lot of choices, and there are all teammates outside who can hold the ball and play singles. No matter which point the ball is passed towards, it is the end point that can guarantee the completion of the shot.
Under such circumstances, you said, is there any way to limit the Bulls' coordination?
Impossible!
Even if there is, it is impossible to figure it out so quickly!
but……
Soon Tyronn Lue let Thibodeau know what a "master tactician" is!
Regarding Mirotic’s point, the Columbus Explorers’ defensive approach tonight is very aggressive. They don’t give him a chance to easily catch the ball in the high position. Give him time to find the right teammate...
Mirotic is a veteran who has played in the European league for many years, but he is a third-year freshman in the NBA.
The game rhythm of the NBA is very different from that of the European leagues, which is why many "European overlords" can't play in the NBA when they come to the NBA.
When Mirotic faced more aggressive targeted confrontation and double-teaming, he was unable to launch an attack at a position he was familiar with, and he was unable to find his teammates patiently. His performance was no longer as good as in the first game dazzling.
The "dual-drive" bulls lost half their horsepower at once.
As for Noah's problem, everyone knows that he can cope, but he doesn't have such a top coping ability.
For example, if the league's top support is "Big Sabonis", then Noah is equivalent to "Little Sabonis".Of course, compared with the little Sabonis who grew up later, Noah's support is still a little bit far away.
He is more like his old partner Al Horford, he is an "internal jackpot", but if you expect him to be really strong in any aspect, you will be disappointed to some extent.
Tyronn Lu's preparations are far more than these...
In addition to targeting Mirotic, he also targeted Derrick Rose at the No. [-] position.
In this game, he was very diligent in the rotation of the first position.
At 4 minutes and 35 seconds into the first quarter, Brogdon was replaced and Beverly was replaced, and at 7 minutes and 12 seconds into the first quarter, Beverly was replaced with George- Hill.
Using the "three-person rotation" severely consumed Derrick Rose's physical energy.
Rose deserves to be the guy who could have won the regular season MVP at the age of 21.
Even in the face of the consumption of such three people, he still scored 8 points in a single quarter, but his efficiency and the number of turnovers have increased significantly compared to the first game.
As a result, the Bulls' "double drive" in the first game lost one "drive", and the "three guns" outside also lost "one gun".In the first quarter, their fierce offense suddenly became less energetic.
According to "court relativity", the Bulls' offensive momentum has decreased, which is equivalent to the Columbus Explorers' offensive momentum has become stronger.
At 6 minutes and 14 seconds of the second quarter, the Columbus Explorers established a 12-point advantage in steady play.
Seeing that they can keep suppressing them into the second half.
With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Tyronn Lu replaced Li Wan in advance, allowing him to take a break now.
He did not continue to let Li Wan stay on the court to widen the point difference. The Bulls cannot be killed with a single blow.
It has to be taken slowly.
and……
Tyronn Lue admitted that the Bulls' "Three Musketeers" are indeed very aggressive, but if, he means if, if Columbus enters the fourth quarter with the current point difference, or a smaller point difference, to At that time, he took out the "Li Wan Bomb" that he had been "dogging", how should the Bulls deal with it?
After high-fiving Li Wan, watching Li Wan sit down on the bench and wiping his sweat with a towel, Tyronn Lu really wanted to shake a fan in his hand.
His calmness was in stark contrast to the impatience on the other side.
On Thibodeau's face at this moment, he couldn't see his calmness at the beginning of the game.
Right now, he just wants to shout out those five words...
What to do next!
He really didn't expect the "bass" on the opposite side to be so adaptable.
It's just a sample of one game, so many changes have been taken out, and the effect is still so good!
Thibodeau has one head and two big ones.
Kevin Durant's performance is still very good.
But only because he is outstanding, it is still too difficult for the Bulls to win this game...
Derrick Rose has to be more efficient...should be, will be.
He trusts Derrick Rose like he trusts his wife.
He knows what kind of ability Rose has, and he also believes that when Rose adapts to the defense in front of him, he will play in a better state again, and "explosion" is possible!
After another half minute of the game, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Beverly, who was playing high, suddenly mocked Jimmy Butler, who had been playing tepidly so far. Butler ignored him and looked at him, as if He was also amused by Beverly's words, but he turned his head, and when it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Jimmy Butlert misplaced himself in front of Beverly and made a layup against him.
Then, he turned his head towards Beverly, outputting close to his face.
What Beverly wanted was the other party's reaction, so he didn't evade at all. The two of them were outputting "mouth to mouth" with a "kiss" posture on their faces, but their hands were quite restrained.
The referee saw this "impulsive and rational conflict", so he didn't blow the whistle, but just separated the two people.
Unexpectedly, Jimmy Butler was out of control after the ball, and continued to catch Beverly for output.
Second vote, keep going!
Beverly was still a little unconvinced, but turned around and Butler delivered another "wake-up call".
For three consecutive rounds, Beverly was directly stunned, and Tyronn Lue watched the 12-point difference shrink to 6 points.
The scene was silent, and Thibodeau, who was pressing Bao on Derrick Rose, also had a blank expression at the moment.
He has to admit that he really doesn't know how to attack.
but……
"Well done, Jimmy, beautiful, just do it, do it!"
Thibodeau doesn't care about this issue at all.
When Jimmy Butler also played "King Bomb" level performance, it means that the Bulls have three "King Bombing"... What game, they have no hope of winning?
Tyronn Lue could only quickly replace Beverly.
When "Mad Dog" was off the stage, he subconsciously hid from people.That depressed look, as if someone kicked him hard.
Li Wan re-entered the game less than 1 minute later.
Jimmy Butler played confidently in this wave, and then became more and more hard. Even though Li Wan quickly continued his offensive state, he only opened the point difference to 9 points before halftime.
Tyronn Luna was so angry that he pointed at "Bei Baoqing" and cursed after returning, "Why did you provoke that Jiba?"
Can "quick pull" be stimulating?
Li Wan volunteered to defend Jimmy Butler, and Tyronn Lue agreed.
The effect is still obvious. Six minutes before the second half, under Li Wan's focused defense, Jimmy Butler, who exploded in the second half of the second quarter, died down. He only scored 6 points in 6 shots and was blocked by Li Wan in person. got one.
After all, he is not as mature as later...
In addition, Tyronn Lue continued to change formations in the third quarter, forcing the Bulls to force a lot of the ball into Kevin Durant's hands.
Kevin Durant finally scored 15 points alone in the third quarter, plus the 17 points he scored in the first half. Before the start of the fourth quarter, he had scored 32 points. If nothing else, he Will score another 40 points in this game...
The result can be...
Surprise!
At the end of the third quarter, Tyronn Lue looked at Kevin Durant's data sheet, not only did he not panic, he even wanted to laugh.
Because at the end of the third quarter, Kevin Durant had already played 30 minutes on the court and took more than 20 shots. If counting the number of fouls, then he had taken more than 25 shots. Jimmy Butler is the main force defending Li Wan again...
This kind of consumption on both ends of offense and defense is definitely not small for a big man over 2 meters who is used to playing outside!
and so……
You can close the network!
Tyronn Lu showed the final killer move tonight: return the other in the same way!
You played very sharply against Li Wan at both offensive and defensive ends at the last moment of the last game. Now, I am using this trick on Kevin Durant. I don’t know if you still have Kevin Durant Can you bear it!
The answer was revealed at 7 minutes and 15 seconds of the fourth quarter...
Kevin Durant: I've tried my best to hold on, but I really can't take it anymore!
He made a breakthrough with the ball, but was blocked by Brogdon with the ball. At that moment, Kevin Durant, who was lying on the ground, really wanted to cover himself with a quilt and fell asleep directly.
The lead-filled legs, as well as the sore and swollen arms, everything reminded him that his body was overloaded!
This round is also the final round of the whole game.
With Kevin Durant down and Jimmy Butler falling into a slump after being contained by Lee Wan, only Derrick Rose was left in the "Trident" of the entire Bulls.
He did explode, but he had consumed too much physical energy in the "wheel battle" prepared for him by Tyronn Lue, which made him unable to "support a team by one person".
Especially when the "Li Wan Bloodline" on the opposite side opened, all kinds of "moving positions, moving positions" took the Bulls away in an instant.
122 to 111.
With an 11-point difference, the Columbus Explorers will take another home game, and then they will go to Chicago with a big score of 2 to 0 for the third game of the series.
Kevin Durant put his head down again.
In the end, his score was fixed at 39 points, which was only 40 point away from 1 points. It is said to be good, but he scored 32 points in the first three quarters, but only scored 7 points in the final and most critical fourth quarter. point……
It is far from Li Wan's 16 points in the fourth quarter.
Most importantly, he was treated the same as Li Wan in the fourth quarter, but he was able to last until the last moment...
From personal performance, to energy at critical moments, and mental strength, Kevin Durant's failures made his already heavy head even heavier.
In addition to him, Derrick Rose scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance was better than the previous game.
But the current situation is that if the Bulls want to win, Derrick Rose's performance is not enough, he has to become better!
Moreover……
Jimmy Butler!
In the second half of the second quarter, he broke out and beat Beverly. In the end, he scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, which was not much better than the previous game.However, his explosive power surprised many people.
After the game, a team reporter from the Bulls suggested when interviewing Thibodeau: "If Jimmy Butler can still perform like the second half of the second quarter, can he be used as a strategic point!"
You know, at that time, the Explorers directly used Li Wan to defend him!
If Jimmy Butler can attract Li Wan's defense, wouldn't Kevin Durant be completely liberated?
Thibodeau took a deep look at him, and there was a little more thought in his eyes. There is indeed something worth studying in this reporter's words...
