Chapter 327 Cleveland, this is...
Chapter 327 Cleveland, this is...
After scoring 84 points in the previous game and leading the team to win the third game of the series, Li Wan scored 71 points in a single game to help the team win the fourth game of the finals.
Not to mention scoring 70 points in a single game in two consecutive games.
Even if it's just such a single game of 70 points, it is an unprecedented performance in the history of the finals. As for whether there will be another Li Wan in the future...
do not know!
But one thing is certain...
At least among the current group of stars in the league, it is basically impossible for such a phenomenal super giant to be born.
ESPN even believes that "this is already a great performance beyond the level of Michael Jordan."
"Don't forget, Li Wan and the Cavaliers are facing the league's 73-win team..."
This means that Li Wan played such an inhuman performance against the strongest opponent.Wouldn't it be even more exaggerated if it was a team that was not as strong?
However, some media put forward different opinions: "We can see that when facing other opponents, Li Wan often does not play such a strong performance, because he always leaves that kind of stage to his teammates, and he himself , choose to stand up when the team needs him most, just like Kwame Brown was injured in the third game of the series, just like Pekovic was injured in the fourth game of the series... At that moment, Li Wanfang will play a stronger performance..."
"From this perspective, perhaps we have to thank the Warriors for their defense. It was they who pushed this team into danger. We just saw such an incredible personal show!"
Of course, this article was attacked by the group shortly afterwards:
"What the hell, thank you? The Warriors are a bunch of garbage!"
"This is the second consecutive stepping incident, and it was done by the same person. We have to suspect that this team is doing these things intentionally!"
"The league should warn the Warriors, this is not the way to win!"
……
After Li Wan spoke out, the criticism of the Warriors and Green became more and more violent.
From head coach Steve Kerr to Stephen Curry, they have all been the target of bombardment.
Even the Warriors announced Green's injuries: a fractured nasal bone, a severe contusion and dislocation of the waist.
It has been confirmed that he will miss the next game of the finals.
But there was still no sound of sympathy.
Because the Cavaliers' injury report on Pekovic also came out.
Green's stepping affected Pekovic's old injury, which made the injury situation of "European Great Pyrenees" more and more complicated. As far as we know so far...
It is very likely that he will choose to retire this summer!
After Li Wan said "Green's career is a career, and Pekovic's career is also a career", the account was naturally all on Green.
Seeing the escalation of the whole situation, the Warriors management had to punish Green within the team: a $10 ticket, plus a 10-game suspension.
Then Green, who was still on the hospital bed, recorded a sincere apology video.
Of course, the apology belongs to the apology, and it is definitely impossible for him to admit that he was stepping on purpose. ——He knows very well that he really wants to say that, and the punishment at the league level alone is enough for him to drink a pot.
If some things are not on the table, then nothing will happen, but if they are on the table, then it will be...
I don't know if the tragic appearance in the video aroused the sympathy of netizens, and the criticism about Green and the Warriors was much smaller.
Many people even stood up to speak for Green:
"He has already received the punishment he deserves. I think this matter can be turned over!"
However, before the start of the game, there was a gossip saying that "the reason why Green apologized was not because he was really guilty, but because he received death threats from the Pekovic family..."
Fortunately, as soon as this kind of news is exposed, mysterious forces will immediately suppress it on the spot, so it did not arouse large-scale discussions.
Li Wan was asked before the game: "Green has apologized, do you think this matter has passed?"
Li Wan shook his head: "I am more concerned about winning the fifth game and the championship trophy this season, and then other things. Although I am not the person involved, I still feel that this matter has not yet been fully resolved. Finish!"
His words made the voices of public opinion, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, burn violently again.
At this time, the Golden State Warriors have a precarious feeling again.
Li Wan's words are comparable to butterflies in the Amazon jungle.
But the authorities still didn't take any action... It's not their fault. After all, as officials, they can't intervene without evidence.
It's like the bad performance of the teams in the league. Although the league strictly prohibits it, as long as the teams involved don't talk about it, the league can't do anything about it.
But if the team in question showed even the slightest bit of flaws, like the Mavericks in the 22-23 season, Jason Kidd only felt it when he was interviewed by the media. They immediately seized the opportunity, intervened in the investigation, and succeeded. The Mavericks were fined a pass.
Although they were annoyed by the behavior of the Warriors, as long as the Warriors were killed, it was an accidental behavior, not because they intended to do so, and the league couldn't do anything about it.
Li Wan knew the nature of the alliance, so he never expected the alliance to do anything for him.
Besides...
He doesn't need the league to do anything for him, but that will be criticized in the future.
You can't despise that one, understand that one, and then become that one, right?
He doesn't want the privilege of the alliance, and he doesn't care.
He has his own plans!
However, before that, there is one more important thing, and that is to bring this season's championship back to Cleveland from Golden State, fulfilling the commitment to Cleveland...
The Oracle Arena is full of seats tonight, but compared to the murderous look they showed in the first two games of the finals, they are more worried tonight.
Although G4 was over, both sides reimbursed a player.
But what the Cavaliers reimbursed was only Pekovic with the attribute of a "surprise soldier", and what they reimbursed was the core of the team's tactical system!
Without Green, it means that the "Death Five" can't fight. Without the "Death Five", how can Stephen Curry and his gang's characteristics be brought to the extreme?
It can be seen from the predictions of the major media before the game that most people believe that the Cavaliers will easily win the fifth game of the finals and hold the championship trophy at the scene of Oracle.
David - Stern also came to the scene at the moment.
When the big screen was given to him at the scene, boos from the audience were overwhelming.
As for the reason...
After Green stepped up again, news came from David Stern's office: David Stern was dissatisfied with the Warriors' repeated stepping behavior, and even called the Referees Association specifically.
David Stern's high attention can be said to be one of the key factors for the wave after wave of public opinion from the outside world, becoming more and more turbulent.
Take a look at the slumped look of the Warriors players when they came out in the home ceremony!
It can be clearly felt that this group of people has been disturbed by the public opinion from the outside world.
In this state, how can we fight to the death?
What kind of face do you think Warriors fans can give David Stern?
They can't wait to rush up and eat David Stern directly!
Sure enough, the Warriors made a mistake in coordination in the first round. Bogut, who finally jumped to the ball, passed the ball to Stephen Curry. Leigh Thompson.
Thompson turned his head and threw the ball toward the wing.
As a result, Iguodala chose an empty cut.The ball flew straight into the hands of the fans on the sidelines.
It was such a waste of the first round.
And it clearly shows the impact of the lack of the top of the arc at Green Station.
This station at the top of the arc looks simple, but it is really not a simple thing to operate.
In the subsequent defensive possession, the Warriors once again showed the impact of their lack of Green on the defensive end.
Iguodala is still responsible for biting Li Wan on the outside, but when Li Wan and Adams' pick-and-roll cooperation throws him away, the rest of the Warriors inside do not have the timely defensive mobility of Green.
As soon as Bogut ran to the center line, Li Wan had already thrown the ball high towards the basket. After the ball fell to almost level with the basket, it was tightly grasped by a pair of big hands, and then slammed into the basket.
Adams made an empty dunk.
2-0!
In the counterattack round of the Warriors, Stephen Curry's entangled defense against Li Wan in the previous scene, finally waited for the pick-and-roll while dribbling, and when he bypassed the screen and was about to shoot, Wiggins next to him immediately double-teamed.
Curry switched to a pass and passed it to Barnes on the wing.
"North Carolina Eagle" raises his hand and casts...
Miss!
Barnes actually had a three-point performance, and it was definitely not obvious.
Inside Chris Bosh rushed to grab the rebound.
Steve Kerr looked at the weak inner line guard without Green, and helplessly spread his hands.
Before he could stop, the Cavaliers' counterattack had already been completed.
The Warriors shrunk quickly, but the Cavaliers were too aggressive to attack the frame. Li Wan, Wiggins and Chris Bosh passed the ball to each other, and finally the attack frame returned to Li Wan.
Before he could figure out how to attack, he threw himself into the air. Faced with Bogut's interference, he finally decided to avoid Bogut's hand during the mid-air change, and then completed the split with one hand.
"Bah!"
4-0!
Li Wan deliberately hung on the basket for a while, and then he landed after seeing clearly that there were no feet waiting for him to land.
He did this action very clearly, and when Barkley saw it, he gave a strange laugh.And in the Quicken Loans Arena thousands of miles away, cheers erupted from the packed auditorium.
Li Wan's gesture of expressing dissatisfaction, in their opinion, Thai pants are hot!
There were two dunks in the opening game, and the Cavaliers' vigor obviously made the Warriors a little dizzy. Coupled with the absence of the usual "commanding brain" Green, they missed another hasty shot in the next round of offense.
Adams protected the rebound himself and gave the ball to Li Wan.
When he directed his teammates to run in the frontcourt, he suddenly rushed into the inside, and a "one-armed dunk" facing the defender directly caused Steve Kerr to call a timeout.
6-0!
The Warriors fans, who were already a little worried, were even more worried now.The entire arena is about to become "the largest library in Golden State".
Steve Kerr took a tactical board and worked out a detailed offensive routine.
The immediate priority is to quickly score a goal and break the "scoring shortage".
Stephen Curry saw Li Wanshi struggling with the dribble, so he gave Iguodala the right to end this round.
Tactics are drawn up...
But it has to be able to fight, that is a good tactic!
Back on the court, the Warriors even completed the first two cooperations with barely enough mistakes, and the entire offensive operation was really not smooth.
The Cavaliers changed their defensive strategy again at this time, expanding outward in various ways and not giving him a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
Seeing that there were still 24 seconds left in the 6-second attack time, Thompson made a high-profile begging inside, but it was directly hung into the hands of Chris Bosh.
The Cavaliers fought back again.
The scene was completely quiet.
The Cavaliers are getting better and better.
In the following time, the Warriors obviously became impatient and at a loss.
Even if there are opportunities for various shots, they are still shot and missed.
It wasn't until 6 minutes and 14 seconds into the first quarter that Klay Thompson scored the first goal of the game.
At this time, the Cavaliers have already scored 19 points in wave after wave of offense...
"Garbage time" is about to be played in the first quarter!
The Warriors could only call one more timeout.
"The lack of Green has had a huge impact on this team!" Bill Walton said, "Many of the Warriors' tactics start from Green. Without him, the Warriors can only rely on strong shots. Forcibly killing, there is no smooth cooperation at all..."
But with the defensive lineup of the Cavaliers, it is difficult to form an effective offense with just the backcourt combination of the "Splash Brothers".
Of course, the most important thing is that the current "Splash Brothers" are still on the rise, not the "Splash Brothers" who have experienced the world in the future. Although they have just won a championship trophy, if you really want to say, they are still there. On the road, not so sophisticated yet.
Without Green, they felt that no matter how they ran, it was wrong!
Especially Stephen Curry, this year was his explosive year, and his performance would not have been just that.
He is the MVP of the regular season!
It's a pity that he met Li Wan who was at his peak.
It feels like "Flying Pig" Barkley met Michael Jordan in the championship that year.
Barkley was beaten like that grandson by Jordan.
He was not as mature as Barkley at that time, and he was even more restrained when facing Li Wan.
It can only be said that there is a difference between the regular season MVP and the regular season MVP!
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the whistle in this game, otherwise the Warriors would be even worse at this moment...
However, they are the defending champions after all. After this timeout, their scoring momentum has changed significantly.Finally, at the end of the first half, the Warriors scored 15 points at the end of the first quarter despite the downturn in the first half, while the Cavaliers, with wave after wave of offense, made their final score fixed at 36 points .
That is to say...
In the first quarter alone, the Cavaliers won by 21 points!
David Stern saw this situation and was about to get up and run to the backcourt, waiting to come out with the O'Brien Cup.
This is still hairy!
It can be seen that some Warriors fans have already left the field sadly...
They couldn't accept that the Warriors lost their last game in a rout.
The fans can't accept it, and the Warriors players can't accept it either.
As soon as the second quarter came up, their overall fighting spirit rose significantly, and their overall offensive state changed accordingly.The first offense of the Warriors in the second quarter was the cooperation of the "Splash Brothers". Klay Thompson received a pass from Stephen Curry and hit a 3-pointer.
Then, it was the same cooperation again, but this time it was Klay Thompson who passed the ball to Curry, and the "elementary student" hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
These two consecutive three-pointers made the scene a little more noisy.
However, the opponent they are facing is not the "best player in history" who relied on his teammates in the early stage and "washed" a goal at a critical moment. What they are facing... is the toughest man in this league at a critical moment-"God" Li Wan !
Facing Iguodala's defense, he called the pick-and-roll, rushed inside and scored.Then there was another misplacement against Stephen Curry's three-pointer, which stopped the Warriors' offensive one by one.
Even the Warriors' offensive stopped, but Li Wan's offensive continued.
19 straight points in the second quarter...
With Li Wan's strongest personal performance, the Cavaliers entered the second half with a 24-point advantage despite the fierce counterattack of the Warriors.
As soon as the second half came up, the resilience of the Warriors was still good, but on the Cavaliers side, the others also turned into howling wolves under Li Wan's performance in the second quarter. Instead of dancing disco, they used fierce offensive , Swallowed the Warriors alive.
After the third quarter, the point difference came to more than 30 points.
Steve Kerr once again emphasized the tough defense before the start of the fourth quarter: "As long as we fight hard enough, then any game can be won!"
After speaking, he glanced at Bogut meaningfully.
The number one scholar in 05 complained secretly.
Of course he knew what Cole meant...it was making him "clumsy"!
But what's the noise outside now!
If he dared to do this, he would definitely become the target of criticism from the outside world.
so he……
In no mood!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, his eyes avoided in various ways.
Steve Kerr had no choice but to call a timeout again to remind Bogut.
If you don't come up with a killer move, it will be too late to win the game... After Bogut's delay in the fourth quarter, there are only more than 6 minutes left.
But the difference is almost 30 points...
Even if Li Wan is sent down, it will be difficult to chase so many points in such a short time.
Can't delay any longer!
Seeing Steve Kerr being so persistent and wanting to be in this league, Bogut could only bite the bullet and nod.
It's just that Li Wan noticed this keenly, and he specially warned Bogut with his eyes. Seeing that this guy was still approaching him intentionally or unintentionally, he could only remind his teammates to pay attention to their feet.
"There are clumsy people again, and they are going to make trouble!"
When he said this, whenever the Cavaliers jumped up, they would subconsciously glance at their feet.
In this way, even if the other party stretches their feet, they can take precautions early.
It's just that, the mind was a little distracted, and the Warriors took the opportunity to narrow the point difference to less than 20 points.
There are more than 4 minutes left in the time.
In time, in time...
But what he didn't notice was that the breathing of the Warriors group gradually became rough. ——Don't forget, this team has experienced tie-breaks in the Western Conference semifinals and finals.
Now the scale of confrontation in the finals is almost as close as ten years ago...
As the finals came to the fifth game, the hidden dangers in physical fitness were gradually revealed.
In the next two or three minutes, the Cavaliers just maintained their current defensive strength, and the Warriors themselves suffered a sharp drop in efficiency due to physical problems.
And when the time fell below the last minute and a half, the Quicken Loans Arena was already full of cheers...
Even they who have always been safe, seeing the Cavaliers leading by 20 points at this time, finally couldn't restrain their restlessness inside:
To win the championship!
To win the championship!
The eye sockets of many Clevelanders have begun to turn red.
But just when the time fell below the last minute, Li Wan, who passed Steve Kerr with the ball, suddenly rushed towards him.The latter was defenseless and was thrown directly to the ground.
"Bah!"
There was a dull sound, and before Steve Cole could react, what happened, he felt a heavy blow to his face, and staring at him.
"Bah!"
Another punch, this time on his cheek, and at the same time he clearly felt something fly out of his mouth, it was...
So many teeth!
Then Li Wan beat faster and faster, Cole could only hug his head in embarrassment to protect his face.
Until Li Wan was pulled away, he subconsciously wiped his face, but saw bright red patches.
This is……
What the hell?
He got up and wanted to scold Li Wan angrily.
But Li Wan had already turned away from the person who was holding him, and left the scene under the whistle of the referee.
At this time, the live shots were repeatedly shown to David Stern on the sidelines.
The latter also looked confused, not knowing what he was discussing with the entourage next to him, and then he glanced at Li Wan in the passageway of the visiting team.
When Li Wan left the arena, a group of reporters surrounded him. They were watching from the sidelines at the time. At this moment, they wanted to know why Li Wan suddenly attacked Steve Kerr.Li Wan didn't say much, just said: "I said, this matter is endless!"
Then, under the protection of the staff, he entered the locker room.
The small TV in the locker room is showing the game live.
With the final 43 seconds left, the Cavaliers led by 19 points.At such a time, such a lead, even if McGrady starts the "McGrady Moment", he can't even think about winning.
Li Wan was also sure of this, and just moved towards Steve Kerr.
The game resumed after the team doctor gave Steve Kerr a lengthy hemostasis.
After Stephen Curry executed a free throw, he hit the shot and narrowed the point difference to 15 points...
The ball was taken across the court by Wade, seeing that he was not in a hurry to attack, the Warriors had no choice but to foul.
Wade steadily hit a free throw, and the point difference came to 1 points.
It was the Warriors' turn to counterattack. Stephen Curry was alive without Li Wan's defense. In less than 7 seconds, he grabbed a three-pointer and narrowed the point difference to 13 points.
But under the consumption of Wade, there were still about 30 seconds left, and now there are only the last 22 seconds left. Tyronn Lue put Wade, Paul Pierce, these "old fritters" on the court, guaranteed The success rate of receiving the ball, the Warriors can only continue to foul.
This free throw was made by Paul Pierce.
"Truth"'s free throws at critical moments are still stable.
2 free throws were made, and the point difference reached 2 points.
The Warriors bet on a three-pointer again, but this time Stephen Curry's shot missed.
The ball was taken by Adams, and the Warriors did not foul.
Wade dribbled the ball to the frontcourt slowly, but Barnes made a dip and made a quick layup. "The Flash" didn't chase, just watched. The "North Carolina Eagles" made a mistake in the middle of the day, and the blue didn't score in the sky. After Chris Bosh protected the rebound, he quickly threw it to Wade.
Wade looked at Barnes while stomping the ball under his feet.
You come to grab it again!
This wave of coquettish manipulation directly embarrassed Barnes.
At this moment in the Cleveland Arena, the audience was already boiling, with all kinds of cheers one after another, and then they reached a unity, gradually becoming bigger and bigger, as if they wanted to penetrate the distance of thousands of miles and send their excitement to San Francisco ...
we……
Finally a champion!
Li Wan walked towards the scene as soon as the game was about to end. When he walked out of the visiting team's arena, the cameras of the reporters on the scene were all aimed at him at the same time.
He made a celebratory gesture towards the camera, and then shouted: "Cleveland, this is for you!"
With this shout, the Quicken Loans Arena, which was already full of cheers, was completely boiling.
No, it's not just the Quicken Loans Arena cheering.
But the cheers of fans can be heard everywhere in Cleveland.
It was as if this city, which had been sleeping for more than fifty years, suddenly "woke up" and let out a long howl!
champion!
champion!
After more than [-] years of "curse without a crown", they finally ushered in their first championship!
Let's remember his name:
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
"Li Wan!"
The streets of Cleveland gathered a group of fans at the fastest speed, and they shouted the same name excitedly.
At the scene, everyone in the Cavaliers had almost the same reaction when Li Wan entered the field:
Howling, he rushed towards Li Wan.
Li Wan did not evade, allowing them to "swallow" him.
Before he could recover, he was picked up by everyone in the Cavaliers team and started to throw him into the air.
Li Wan enjoyed being surrounded by his teammates.
It wasn't until the championship trophy was about to come out that he ran to say hello to Stephen Curry who was still waiting there.
There was discouragement in the latter's eyes, and he lost badly in the fight with Li Wan.There is a sense that there has been no progress at all over the years.
But now he has a more important question to ask: "Why did you hit Steve?"
Li Wandao: "You should know your coach better than I do, he has to be responsible for this matter!"
Curry was slightly taken aback, but he immediately realized what Li Wan was talking about.Then he showed a bit of worry: "Will you be too impulsive?"
Playing a coach is not the same as playing a player.
The last person to hit a coach was "Madman," who was eventually suspended by the league for 68 games. …
Although he beat his own coach, Li Wan beat someone else's coach.
But the bad influence of this incident is here, and Li Wan is afraid that he will not be able to escape the alliance's severe punishment.
Li Wan could feel Curry's concern as a friend. He patted Curry on the shoulder and didn't say anything else.
Here's his best answer to Kwame Brown and Pekovic's injuries...
As early as when Kwame Brown was injured, he thought about what to do, which is the best explanation for this matter:
win the game?
Ok……
This is just the basics!
What about winning the game?
Maybe he would beat up all the people who did the tricks in front of him, and vent his anger for his brother.
Green had already been beaten by Pekovic and taken to the hospital, but he was not the only one who did the trick.He is the executor, and there is a guy who hints that he does it, or condones him to do it, standing on the sidelines!
That's why Li Wan said that this matter is not over.
Especially when he felt that Steve Kerr still had similar thoughts in this game, he strengthened his mind and wanted to beat up the gangsters.
He doesn't know if he can wipe out this phenomenon at once, but at least he can express his depression...
As for what punishment the alliance will give in the end, Li Wan doesn't care.
If you have the ability, give him a season suspension package!
Just take a break...
Steve Kerr has been paying attention to Li Wan's movements. After Li Wan and Stephen Curry finished greeting, he immediately walked towards Curry and asked why he was beaten.
Curry gave him a complicated look, and finally just reminded two words: "Stepping..."
Cole was stunned on the spot...
At this time, the scene was almost ready, and all members of the Cavaliers gathered in the center of the court, waiting for David Stern and the O'Brien Cup to enter.
This time, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Including Kwame Brown, who already wears 6 championship rings, is also looking forward to it at this moment.
He didn't win the championship last season. Although he said "I can finally take a break", Kwame Brown still misses this golden trophy in his heart.
This thing, if it is there, it is there, if it is not, it is not.
Nothing can be synthesized...
After two years, he was finally able to touch the trophy again.
The seventh seat~
He suddenly wanted to make a phone call to Michael Jordan: Dude, when you chose me back then, when you scolded me later, did you ever think that I would win 7 championship trophies in the end?
"Now I announce that the 2015~2016 season NBA championship is... Cleveland... Cavaliers!"
With the announcement of David Stern, the O'Brien Cup was won by Li Wan.
Cleveland also boiled to the top at this moment.
A burst of shouts resounded through the night sky.
Starting today, here is no longer a "capital without a crown"!
The trophy then passes through the hands of the various players.
When Wade took the trophy, he tried hard to put on a calm face, but couldn't control it anymore.
From 06 to 16, ten years later, he finally embraced the O'Brien Cup again!
the most important is……
He proved himself!
Even with such a dilapidated body, as long as he is on the right team, he can still win the championship, and he can win the championship as the main player of the team!
The destruction of the Kingdom of Shu is not my fault!
Joe Johnson then kissed the championship trophy.
This is the reason why he turned down other bigger contracts and joined the Cavaliers with a basic salary.
Xia Tian's sacrifice finally paid off for him... His career has come to an end!
"It's me, it's me!"
Joe Johnson hugged it for a while, and Chris Bosh took it and yelled around twice. After that, the two rookies Wiggins and Adams couldn't bear it anymore, and they rushed to the front of the championship trophy and threw it In my arms.
Is this the championship trophy?
It really is……
Bright! !
The media reporters on the scene began to vote for the final MVP.
In fact, there is no accident in this award, it must belong to Li Wan.
You know, Li Wan, who returned to the final stage after a year, handed over an exaggerated statistic:
In the first game of the series, his data was 28 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists;
The second game was 29 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists;
The third game was 84 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists;
The fourth game was 71 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists;
The fifth game was 33 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists;
Average data per game: 49 points, 9.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists...
Yes, that's right!
Li Wan's scoring average is an eye-popping 49 points per game...
With such a perverted scoring ability, who else can compete with him for the finals MVP?
Some media reporters who voted even bluntly said after the game that even if the Cavaliers lose this round of the series, Li Wan must be the MVP No. 1 pick in the finals here!
This is really unbelievable...
In the end, Li Wan passed unanimously and was elected the final MVP!
The sixth finals MVP of his career has officially arrived...
When Li Wan took the trophy from David Stern, he could clearly feel that, compared to the past, although his smile was bright at this moment, it was a bit reluctant.
Obviously, Li Wan's actions at the end of the game made it very difficult for him to handle now.
Of course, Li Wan had anticipated this and was already prepared.So at this moment, he noticed David Stern's headache, but he didn't have the slightest bit of uneasiness. He responded with a frank smile, and took the finals MVP trophy from the league president.
When he held up the Finals MVP trophy, Cleveland was full of cheers again.
"Everyone knows that this is a year of great significance and burden for us. I said that we will leave a championship for Cleveland. Thanks to my team and my teammates. Ladies and gentlemen, we worked together and finally accomplished this at this last chance... In the end, I still want to repeat what I said when I just returned to the court. This time I did not just say it for myself, but It's for all of us on this team..."
"Have you seen this championship trophy?"
"Cleveland..."
"This is for you!"
Li Wan didn't know what kind of response his shouting caused in Cleveland.
But he knew it must be crazy...
After the game, Li Wan attended the press conference.
A large number of reporters surrounded him.
their questions...
It's all about Li Wan beating Steve Kerr violently.
They couldn't figure out why Li Wan wanted to beat Cole.
Could it be that Cole instigated Green's stepping, and Li Wan found evidence?
impossible?
Who would betray their head coach?
Especially since Green was promoted by Cole himself, there is no reason to do so!
When they were thinking wildly, Li Wan had already begun to answer their doubts: "In our country, there is such a saying, it is the fault of the father if he does not teach; the laziness of the teacher is the laziness of the teacher..."
Since Li Wan is a literal translation from English, he did not explain the meaning of this sentence, but continued: "In the team, the duties of the head coach are actually the same as that of the teacher. Even if he didn't do it intentionally, it means that no one specifically reminded him to pay attention to this aspect..."
"You said, should this fault be attributed to Cole?"
"This is what I want to express, just like the original Bowen, his repeated stepping behavior, in my opinion, Popovich did not restrain his players..."
It is said that when Popovich heard what Li Wan said the next day, he immediately felt his chrysanthemum shrink.
You know, Cole was at fault, and Li Wan beat the kid upright.
Now Li Wan still thinks he was wrong...
He can't stand such a beating!
When the reporters heard the last sentence, their expressions were obviously a little bit astonished.
They didn't expect Li Wan's angle to be so tricky.
But here's the magic:
They were actually persuaded!
They think what Li Wan said...
Makes sense!
However, it was also for this reason that they had a premonition that something was wrong.
It is foreseeable that the life safety of a group of head coaches will be threatened...
After all, teachers are famous, and once a team steps in, players from other teams will use Li Wan's excuse to beat up the opponent's head coach...
Unless, the Alliance severely punishes Li Wan and kills the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.
But regarding Li Wan's influence in this alliance, the alliance...
Can it be done?
their doubts...
It's not unreasonable!
Because at this moment, David Stern is indeed in distress.
Especially after learning about Li Wan's rhetoric in front of the media, a thought immediately popped up:
Must be severely punished!
Otherwise, the NBA must be in chaos...
Or, ban for one season?
He raised this hypothetical punishment with his assistant.
The assistant reminded him: "President, you may have forgotten that when we signed a new broadcast contract with ESPN, there was a stipulation in it that Li Wan must broadcast 40 games across the United States every season..."
"If they can't reach this amount, they can deduct up to 10% of the annual broadcast fee, which is about 4 million..."
Just for this matter, is it really worth evaporating 4 million at once?
The assistant didn't ask this question directly, but looked directly at David Stern and expressed it with his eyes.
"..."
David Stern was silent.
This is really not a small number!
Especially with the surge in broadcast contracts, the expenses of each team have also increased a lot.
It looks like 4 million, but when next year's financial statements show 4 million less, the salary cap will fall, and the entire league will pay more luxury taxes, the losses of these bosses will probably double.
At that time, he will not be killed by these bosses?
As the president of the alliance, you are making money from us capitalists in turn, right?
It's a fart for Li Wan to beat Steve Kerr, does he need to be banned for a whole season?
David Stern believes that such remarks must be heard by then...
What!
Others don't know, anyway, with David Stern, Li Wan's influence is no different from Michael Jordan's New Year's Eve.
Jimmy Bartern is tough enough!
In addition, today's game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, although there are still some flaws, but it is still a bit like a playoffs.At least you can watch it as a fan.
After all, it is competitive sports, so let's really leave the game to the players.
The last thing I want to say is that the credibility of the league has declined really fast since the spinach was picked up. Today’s match between the Bucks and the Heat was, in previous years, an extreme performance by a star. The influence of the playoffs, but there are still people calling "fake games".
It is estimated that in less than a year, all competitions will no longer be convincing.
