Chapter 310 Before the Christmas War
Back to the first battle.
Li Wan handed over a gorgeous data sheet:
52 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
In particular, it also took the Cavaliers, who had 8 wins and 2 losses in the previous 6 games, to defeat the Hornets, which is currently ranked second in the league.
It's even more surprising.
Isn't this too obvious for the improvement of the team?
Is it really such a bug?
Basketball isn't a game, but the news is...
So the next morning, the headlines of the major media were all related to this game, or in other words, they were all related to Li Wan.
The group of narrators headed by Barkley boasted that Li Wan "is in the sky, but there is nothing in the earth", and the American reporters saw that the bullshit was so big, so they naturally reported it to let everyone know that they "licked" Li Wan's posture .
It's just that the media at the moment don't know what Li Wan will be like next.
On December 12, Li Wan returned to the second game and played the Bobcats again.
Li Wan, who had just thrown 11 three-pointers in the last game against the Hornets, continued to feel hot in this game. He threw six three-pointers in the first half. The number of three-pointers has reached 6. In the end, Li Wan scored 8 points, 45 rebounds and 10 assists in the "quasi triple-double" in this game.
On December 12th, Li Wan came back for the third game against his former owner, the Orlando Magic. Hit 20 three-pointers and scored a total of 7 points, 10 rebounds and 52 assists.
Tonight's Amway Arena is full of seats, this is the first time this season this arena has reached a "full attendance" state.
Unknowingly, Li Wan's return to this city every season has become a festival for these fans.
And Li Wan's crazy performance also made the Orlando fans burst into tears...
Woohoo, giegie still loves us!
If he didn't love, he wouldn't hurt us so hard!
This game also made Li Wan the first player in NBA history to score at least 3 three-pointers in 7 consecutive games.
Even Stephen Curry, who is crazy like wanting Haotian from beyond the three-point line this season, can't reach Li Wan's state.
But Li Wan's performance was not over yet. On December 12, Li Wan faced the Dallas Mavericks and scored 22 three-pointers again...
Reporters asked why "he was in such a hot state".
Li Wandao: "I've rested for a long time, my brothers have worked very hard, now...it's their turn to rest!"
When the players of the Cavaliers heard Li Wan's words, they felt that Cleveland wasn't very cold in December!
With such a "boss", they feel like they are in spring every day!
Li Wan is really so warm!
The reporters continued to ask: "So do you think your performance outside the three-point line will continue?"
Li Wandao: "In the game, definitely!"
These words made all the reporters around him laugh out loud.
Too……
This is undoubtedly a stupid question.
Who can keep hitting at least 7 three-pointers in a single game?
Wake up, this is the real NBA, not a 2k game!
Although Li Wan's recent performance does make people feel that there is no difference from the 2K game, but he is human after all!
As a human being, there will be ups and downs in the state.
Although Li Wan's state is already famously stable in this league, his average of 7 three-pointers per game is still too exaggerated!
But if Li Wan knew that they understood it this way, he would probably say something:
You are all wrong!
It is really not difficult for Li Wan to average 7 three-pointers per game.
After all, the "Nerve Knife" badge is too buggy!
At the beginning of the season, his three-pointers were not as good as they are now. The main reason is that he changed his style of play and needed time to adapt.
In the past, he was more accustomed to using mid-range shooting to solve problems, and the three-pointer was just an auxiliary means...
Just like "CIC King" Houston, his three-point line is accurate, but once he is made to pay attention to the three-point line under his feet, his accuracy immediately drops.Do you think it has something to do with strength?
This is more a matter of shooting habits.
Habits are terrible things, once established, it is really hard to change.
It is also because Li Wan's style of play has not been established for a long time, coupled with his strong adjustment ability, that he has just completed the new season for more than a month, and gradually got rid of relying on mid-range jumpers to solve problems, and began to think more about using three-pointers. Ball to increase the threat!
That's why he's starting to outshine Stephen Curry in ferocity in his late [-]-point shots...only injuries have delayed his "transformation gig."
Otherwise, the madness at this moment should have happened in early December.
So what Li Wan said, "In the game, it will definitely work" does not mean that his state will have ups and downs.
What he wants to say is that other head coaches in the league will not let him shoot outside the three-point line, and the three-point targets for him will definitely increase in the future. ——From the opponents’ defensive strategies in the past few days, it can be seen that the head coaches of other teams in the league have increasingly targeted Li Wan’s three-pointers. In the battle against the Dallas Mavericks, Li Wan can clearly feel that , The Mavericks even studied his shooting hotspots outside the three-point line. There are so many angles that they are determined not to let him stand.
Of course, even if the opponent is targeting, Li Wantie makes more than a dozen shots with his heart, and he can still average 7 three-pointers per game.
But the problem is...
The matter of "wave casting" has never had anything to do with "steady Li Wan".
What he is better at is solving battles in an easier and more targeted way!
If this method requires him to give up part of the stage to his brother, he will not hesitate.This is also the reason why Wiggins can grow steadily when Chris Bosh becomes the "Dragon King" in seconds by his side.
Compared to him, the "best player in history" is not so good in this regard.
Until the age of 82, he still likes to keep the whole cake for himself and distribute it by him.
This is also the reason why there are no rookies around him who can take the lead. The occasional flash of inspiration was when he was injured, and he just seized the opportunity to take the lead.
12 month 23 day.
After the Cavaliers beat the Mavericks, they immediately rushed to the Jewish Jazz.
Although Li Wan didn't intend to take a rest in this "back-to-back", Tyronn Lu decided on his own to let him take a rest, and he also gave a reason that Li Wan could not refuse:
"Christmas is coming and we have more important things to do!"
When Li Wan heard him talking about Christmas, he also nodded and did not refute anything.
This season's "Christmas Game" program still has the name of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And their opponents...
It is none other than the Bulls who defeated the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals last season!
Such a "revenge moment" deserves a rest for Li Wan.
However, although Li Wan took a rest, the Cavaliers won this "back-to-back" game.
Wiggins played very aggressively in this game, usually looking at his silly face with a bit of rare ferocity.In this game, he finally scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, in addition to 2 steals and 1 block.
The performance is not generally good...
On the car back to Cleveland, Wiggins, who was sitting with Li Wan, suddenly turned his head and said to Li Wan: "Li Wan, this time... I will never hold you back again!"
Li Wan was taken aback by his determined gaze.
He is still not quite used to such a hot-blooded Wiggins...
wrong!
It shouldn't be said that he doesn't adapt to such a passionate Wiggins.
It should be said...
I don't quite adapt to the increasingly hot-blooded Wiggins at the moment.
Are you sure "Brother Wolfberry" can have such a fighting look in his eyes?
Li Wan smiled and nodded.
This piece of rough jade was chiseled out by him!
Meanwhile, the Bulls also wrap up their game tonight.
Facing Li Wan's old club, the New York Knicks, the Bulls took the game with little effort.
128 to 108, a 20-point victory.
But after all, this opponent is the New York Knicks, who are the last in the Eastern Conference. So far in the new season, they have not won 5 games.
Even if they won, everyone in the Bulls was not too happy.
Especially Thibodeau, facing an interview after the game, bluntly said that this victory has nothing to be happy about for the Bulls.
"This is a victory that should have been won. Compared with this game, I am more concerned about the next game against the Cavaliers..."
Li Wan's recent momentum is really too fierce.
Now they have taken a break specially for the "Christmas Game", and everyone knows that this is aimed at the Bulls.
The opponent is preparing to win this "Christmas game", and he naturally doesn't want the team to lose to the Cavaliers...
"This will be a tough battle, but I believe we can have the last laugh! Because...we have Derrick Rose!"
"In my opinion, he is no less a player than Li Wan!"
So far this season, Derrick Rose has averaged 27.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game... Compared with last season, his performance has not improved significantly, and even many aspects of the data have regressed.
But if you carefully observe Derrick Rose this season, you can clearly see his progress.
he……
There is a cast!
Especially the shooting percentage from outside the three-point line has reached a career high of 37%!
A healthy "Wind City Rose" who has not suffered major injuries and has developed projection ability in advance...
Of course, this is not all his cards.
Jimmy Butler!
This "Plan B" member whom Li Wan is optimistic about also practiced his three-point shooting ability this summer.
At present, his average three-point shooting percentage has reached a career high of 37%!
As he and Derrick Rose developed a relatively stable shooting ability, plus Luol Deng, who already had first-class shooting skills...
In this way, the biggest flaw of the Bulls this season: no three-pointers, has been made up for!
In Thibodeau's view, this Bulls team can achieve better results than last season...
Ok……
Their result last season was the runner-up without a trophy.
A better result than the overall runner-up...
Is there anything more to say?
champion!
The entire Bulls are also working in this direction this season.
It is worth mentioning that after winning the New York Knicks, they overtook the Nets and reached the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference for the first time this season.
At this moment, they can be described as imposing like a rainbow!
At this time, the "Christmas War" with the Cavaliers is ushered in, and it is natural to win!
No matter where the Cavaliers are currently ranked, for any team in the league, if it is going to the championship, it must beat this team.
Only after defeating the Cavaliers in the regular season can you yell out the slogan "We are the champions"!
The more important point:
The Bulls stepped on the Cavaliers to enter the Finals last season.
We won last season, but we lost this season...
This would be a blow to anyone!
So, absolutely can't lose!
It is also for this reason that the Bulls hurriedly ended the interview and returned to Chicago early as if they were playing "back-to-back".
The Cleveland Cavaliers arrived in Chicago before they returned to Chicago.
That day is "Christmas Eve" in American time.
Li Wan had a "Little Li Wan" video with Taylor at the hotel.
Before he knew it, "Xiao Li Wan" born in Xia Tian was almost 6 months old.
But if you look at the body shape...
It's only 6 months?
It's at least 1 year old, right?
"Just now I was awake and eating my hands, but I fell asleep after a while."
Taylor tried her best to focus the camera on "Xiao Li Wan", and waited for the camera to focus, revealing the clear appearance of "Xiao Li Wan". Li Wan looked at it for more than ten seconds, and she pointed the camera at herself again.
Behind her stands Gigi Hadid.
When Taylor pointed the camera at her, she also warmly greeted Li Wan: "Hello, brother-in-law."
Li Wan smiled at her.
He knew that this Christmas, his son's godmothers would come to his house to spend the holiday with him.
Think about the scene of Yingying and Yanyan at that time, and think about how my son will probably grow up in such an environment in the future...
Is that right?
Would you mind "Jia Baoyu"?
After greeting Hadid, Li Wan chatted with Taylor Swift for a while. At the end, Taylor Swift glanced to the side, and suddenly lifted her clothes, inside...
It is a hollow black QQ underwear.
The balloon, which has become bigger than usual due to the swelling, looks somewhat attractive at the moment.
"Miss you!"
After the bold move, Taylor Swift kissed in the air, and then hung up the video in a hurry as if afraid of being discovered.
The moment she lifted the clothes was replayed in Li Wan's mind, which was extremely profound.
fine……
Not a chick!
Otherwise, can you still sleep tonight?
Comes June 12th.
Although it was an away game, Li Wan still prepared gifts for everyone, a Rolex watch for everyone.
Including Tyronn Lu also received a gift from Li Wan.
Flattered, he showed a more "bass" expression.
At the same time, in the Bulls locker room, Thibodeau was mobilizing before the game: "...Remember, we are the number one in the East, which means we are the best team in the East, and this is our home court. I believe that no one can beat us here!"
His prestige in the Bulls is beyond doubt, and his words directly ignited the flames in the eyes of the Bulls players.One by one, gearing up, they walked towards the home player's tunnel.
The moment they came out of the home player channel, the deafening cheers of the audience "pouring down", pouring all their brains into their heads.They were also a little dazed.
Chicagoans have always supported their home team.
But Bulls fans who are so excited at the beginning are still rare.
They can feel what these guys want to express in the cheers:
Must win, guys, we believe in you, you can definitely win the Cavaliers tonight!
Before the game, Li Wan took a photo with Jimmy Butler on the sidelines.
Show off their new sneakers together.
"Plan B" gave Li Wan a second signature shoe this summer: the Cleveland Promise.It also gave Jimmy Butler his first signature shoe: Little People, Big Stage.
And tonight, Li Wan and Jimmy Butler put on their "Christmas Limited Edition" respectively.
Not just the two of them, Stephen Curry, who is away in Miami at this time, is also at the foot of the "Christmas limited edition" that has just been launched.
After the group photo was over, Jimmy Butler looked at Li Wan very seriously, and said every word: "Li, there is no doubt that you have made me what I am today. If it weren't for your encouragement, I might not have achieved it so quickly. This kind of attention, but tonight, I want you to leave with your head down, just like the Eastern Conference finals, please be ready to accept my challenge!"
It can be seen that Jimmy Butler should have prepared these words in advance.
Because he gave Li Wan the feeling that he didn't seem to be talking harshly, but rather... reciting the full text?
In the end, the serious face was filled with embarrassment and uneasiness.
Ok……
There was no other way, this was the first time he had spoken harshly to Li Wan.
man!
The first time is always a little nervous.
Li Wan nodded, with relief on his face, watching the Butler in front of him gradually overlap with the Butler in his memory, he actually had an old father's relief in his heart:
Okay, my pig has grown up and knows how to make cabbage!
"Learn to talk trash well, kid, this is too bad!" Li Wan thought in his heart, but he fought back mercilessly, and at the same time looked disgusted, "I hope your performance later will be better than Harden your mouth, or I will be too disappointed!"
Uh, the outline of this season I sorted out before was written, and it conflicted with the plot when I wrote it. After reorganizing, I want to write again, but the time is too late, and then the more anxious I am, the more I can’t write it. One bad day, 1 will be made up for everyone tomorrow.
