Chapter 202 The night of 83 points, the chain reaction is coming!
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
The 2 New York fans at Madison Square Garden all stood up after the fourth quarter began, witnessing Li Wan's historic moment with cheers.
It's quite sad to say.
This arena is known as the "Basketball Holy Land".
Witnessed miracles again and again.
But among so many miracles, 99% of the "miracles" were created by players of the opposing team.
In line with the principle of "fairness, justness and openness", New Yorkers sent cheers for these "miracles".
but……
Even Knicks fans who are as thick-skinned as a city wall and have no intention of sharing honor and disgrace, every time they witness these "miracles", why don't they wish that the players who performed these "miracles" are wearing...
It's a Knicks jersey!
There is no way, there are only a few stars in the history of the Knicks.
Most importantly, the "miracles" played by these people are not at the same level as those played by other players in the league at Madison Square at the same time.
People pose on the top of the mountain, and the "miracles" of the New York Knicks are at best, watching the scenery halfway up the mountain...
However, it’s a blessing in disguise!
After half a century of waiting, the New York Knicks "arrived" with a performance that surpassed the "miracle".
At 7 minutes and 15 seconds of the fourth quarter, Li Wan's single-game score in this game has reached 78 points.
From Kobe's 81 points, it is only 3 points away...
To be honest, if they weren't afraid of being unsightly, they really wanted to watch the rest of the game on their knees.
Although the competition is not over yet, this night, without a doubt, will be Li Wan's "Night of Conferring the Gods".
They felt that just standing and watching was not enough to express their admiration for Li Wan!
Li Wan held the ball forward amidst the cheers of the audience.
Off the court, Rivers had already held his head in his hands, sat on the bench, and buried his head in his knees.
It's broken...
The eyes of the Celtics on the field were fixed on Li Wan, adjusting their positions as he moved.
Li Wan looked at the group of people opposite him with piercing eyes.
He could see panic in the eyes of the gang.
And he felt that he had entered a brand new state...
It's as if, every time he makes a shot, he will definitely hit...
He remembered that Michael Jordan seemed to say that this is called... zone mode!
Ok……
"Heizi's Basketball" is a documentary, and it once again got a solid hammer.
Although he has logged into the account of "God of Basketball" several times, this is the first time Li Wan has really entered this field.
Perhaps only when this comprehension is achieved is the real "Wu Shuang" mode?
Paul Pierce stopped him.
behind him...
Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett are on standby, ready to double-team and force Li Wan to pass the ball.
Not directly coming up to double-team is the last bottom line of the Boston giants.
No one can make the Celtics completely abandon the defensive formation and double-team desperately!
Including Li Wan tonight.
Even if he had made such a threat, they wouldn't do it!
As Li Wan got closer and closer, Paul Pierce involuntarily took half a step back while swallowing his throat continuously.
The Adam's apple keeps rolling up and down, just like his heartbeat at the moment:
Bah!Bah!Bah!
beating like crazy...
Paul Pierce hasn't been this flustered since he picked up basketball at age 5...
Ok……
Too……
He has never been scored so many points above his head by anyone!
"Ah-"
The screeching sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor was drowned out by the cheers of the audience, but Paul Pierce could hear him clearly. His body followed closely, but Li Wan suddenly "dribbled the ball behind his back" to the to the other hand.
Continue to change direction very fluently...
Paul Pierce's "ho ho ho ho" sounded louder and louder.
The feet follow closely.
But Li Wan's body suddenly stopped.
Subconsciously followed and stopped.
But seeing Li Wan pull the ball back...
"Sam Gold"!
After the ball, Paul Pierce sat down on the ground like a tall building collapsed.
Looking up, Li Wan, who was shaking him away, looked down from top to bottom, which immediately gave him a strong sense of oppression...
Li Wan didn't make a direct breakthrough, but retreated beyond the three-point line. Before Rajon Rondo pounced, he made a three-pointer and hit the ball steadily.
3 points scored!
81 points...
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
The shouts of New York fans sprinted across the arena.
Li Wan used this season's iconic "let the opponent sit and watch" singles, tying Kobe's 81 points!
"***, this kid..."
David Stern watched Li Wan score this game, but he was also rarely able to control his emotions and yelled loudly.
At this moment, the NBA president, who made the NBA go international and dominated the shopping malls, was as happy as a little old lady who had never seen the world.
However, Le Guile, the next second he immediately took out his mobile phone and made several consecutive calls.
Looking at his serious appearance, it seems that there is a big battle waiting for him to start...
If the development of the NBA is roughly divided, there are about two periods, one is before David Stern became the president, and the other is after David Stern became the president.
After Stern took over the league, there were only a few opportunities for the development of the league.
The most recent one was in the summer of 07...
Kobe Bryant's "Dragon Night" stole the traffic of the NFL conference semifinals.Let the NBA receive greater attention from the entire world.
The slogan "Land of Miracles" was also launched that summer.
Then the NBA hit the fast track, and the impact of Michael Jordan's retirement faded.
The 11-year "labor-management agreement" is just around the corner, and LeBron James' "Decision [-]" has dissatisfied many bosses in small ball markets. The suspension of the league is almost a certainty.
As far as David Stern is concerned, he doesn't want the league to stop for too long...
Recently, he has been thinking of a way...
Li Wan's "Night of Becoming a God" came at the right time!
At this moment, David Stern seems to have a pager in his hand:
Pay attention to all aspects, pay attention to all aspects, the alliance has officially entered the "red temperature alert" state!
The leaders of the league are thinking about the future of the entire league.On the Boston side, when Angie, the "little parent" of the Celtics, saw Li Wan swaying through the sky again and knocking Paul Pierce to the ground, he immediately took out a few documents from the file bag next to him, and started Seriously thinking about the future of this team...
He no longer needs to continue to observe, and now he can draw a conclusion: the help that the Celtics can bring to the "Green Army" is...
Use yourself to change Boston's future!
The first thing he has to understand is...
What high-quality assets do other teams in the league now have.
There is a sentence how to say:
To make a deal, first of all you have to use your imagination.
Looking forward to digging and searching, how to do this deal?
Anyway, in the end, there must be fools in the game...
There is really no way...
Angie's eyes fell on the Nets.
Looking at the names above, his eyes lit up with a "swish".
Laobi, the Nets have rebuilt well, a room full of talents!
"Ah!"
Billy King, who was far away in New Jersey, sneezed at the same time and shook for no reason.
He felt that some villains wanted to harm him!
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
The cheers at the scene continued.
The next historic moment also continues to come.
At 10 minutes and 15 seconds into the fourth quarter, Li Wan evaded Kevin Garnett's long arm and spun the ball into the basket.
With this goal scored, Li Wan scored 83 points in this game!
The point difference between the two teams also came to almost 20 points.
D'Antoni called a timeout immediately after the Celtics counterattacked.
Let Li Wan enjoy the moment that belongs to him.
The expressions of the New York fans in the audience are not just excited...
Some looked crazy; some swayed their bodies crazily; and some cried while shouting, crying harder and harder, and finally turned into howling.
Crazy has always been a label on New York fans, but tonight's New York fans exposed their other side:
True temperament!
Not only can they cheer for the team, they can not only boo the team, they can also show their true feelings...
Just first, you need to know where their G-spot is!
I thought they didn't have a G-spot, but now it seems...
It had to be Li Wan's "Hawk of Kato" to touch that G-spot.
No, I'm going to cry tonight!
Li Wan walked off the field, followed by cameras on the scene, surrounding him in 360 degrees.
From now on, any frame of his action may become a "classic picture" in the NBA in the future.
There was an accident on the sidelines, and Spike Lee suddenly stood up at the side seat where Li Wan passed by, and knelt down to Li Wan.
His appearance was so pious that Li Wan shyly avoided it...
But what he didn't expect was...
Under the leadership of a big Hollywood director, another group of fans knelt down in the auditorium...
Crazy cheers, plus "devoted believers."
How could the reporters on the sidelines miss such a good picture, one by one they found the right angle and recorded one photo after another.
"Damn, brother, you are too fierce, aren't you?"
Artest ran over, shook hands with him, and then gave him another excited bear hug.
Dayao also ran over and patted him on the shoulder.
Tonight, he looked stupid anyway...
The timeout time ran out quickly. D'Antoni glanced at Li Wan and asked, "Are you still playing?"
Li Wan looked at the time, there was more than 1 minute left.
At the end of the game, it is certain that the side effect of "cracking" made him paralyzed on the seat, but his current state is not bad, and if he really continues to play, he can still grit his teeth and hold on.
But he waved his hand towards D'Antoni: "Forget it!"
The point difference has come to almost 20 points, plus it has broken Kobe's 81 points, and playing again is nothing more than three or four more points.Since he can't break Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game, there is really no reason for him to play again.
D'Antoni was not surprised. He called on Nate Robinson and put on a "three-back" lineup for the next minute or so.
The hearts of the fans were still on Li Wan.
Especially the group of fans leaning against the Knicks bench, trying to approach Li Wan one by one, posing excitedly and taking selfies.
Some anxious ones even turned on their mobile phones to surf the Internet, wanting to see the evaluation of Li Wan's "Battle of Conferred Gods" on the Internet.
And the most tormenting moment...
It has to be the Celtics.
When the whistle sounded to signify the end of the game.
They left Madison Square Garden without looking back.
Especially Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are ahead of everyone...
The entire Celtics became Li Wan's background board.
Among them, the two of them are the worst!
In this game, Pierce is the one who defends, and Garnett is the one who helps defend.
Think about how Rose, who was the main defense against Kobe, was still the "Michigan Five Tigers". nickname...
Now it's their turn...
As two people with bigger names, they still don't know how they will be complained about by the outside world!
When Paul Pierce collided with Rivers, he almost cried and knelt down: "Coach, I don't want to play basketball..."
Kevin Garnett is thinking about his age, 35 years old...
Or, retire on the spot?
Rivers' expression is not very good either...
The team ended up losing by 16 points...
Among the teams that lost to the Knicks this season, this point difference is not particularly large.
But now it's not a matter of losing a few points, Li Wan scored 83 points...
On his head is a big word "dangerous"!
"We have worked very hard in this game, but everyone knows that a player like Li Wan will have such a night, which belongs to him completely... Exactly tonight is such a night!"
But even under such circumstances, Rivers did not forget to praise Li Wan after the game.
It's not intentional to appear generous.
But...
As the head coach, you don't know when Li Wan will become your pawn!
Ok……
But while he fantasized about coaching Li Wan, Anji sent him a message:
——A very regrettable news...
Rivers didn't finish reading the next content, so he just closed it.Putting the phone back into his trouser pocket, he calmly looked at the Celtics players with their heads bowed in the car.
Farewell without a word.
He knew that someone had to pay for tonight.
He's the one paying the bill.
But when he thought about how Li Wan had blown this group of people to pieces on the field, Rivers knew that his departure was just the beginning!
Boston's "Big Three" era came to disintegration in the first season after Ray Allen left.
——Ray... is much more important than any of us think!
This is the last message Rivers sent to Angie before boarding the plane.He knew that this passage could not save anything.After getting off the plane, he still had to pack his luggage, but this sentence came out of feeling, and he didn't hold it in his stomach.
Originally, he was going to tell the group in front of him.
It's not that he doesn't understand the contradictions in the locker room, he just pretends not to know.
But looking at this group of frustrated players, I am afraid that this sentence will anger some of them, and then he will be in danger...
The underrated Ray Allen looked at Li Wan, first clapped his hands, and then hugged him again.
Before the game, he expressed his attitude to Li Wan:
No matter what, he wants to win this game!
As a result, they won!
Although it has nothing to do with him...
But just watching Li Wan "cut melons and vegetables" on the field, he was really excited:
It's fun, it's fun!
Cool!
It's so cool!
Watching Li Wan soar from the first quarter to the last, making Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce doubtful, this scene is really 40 degrees in summer, and a glass of iced Coke is refreshing ...
The host on the sidelines waited for Li Wan to finish embracing his teammates, then walked to the side with a smile, and congratulated: "This is an incredible night, Li, even at this moment that has happened, I still can't believe it, you To do something like this, you just scored 52 points..."
Li Wan smiled: "Maybe it was the 52 points that made me feel..."
His expression was fairly calm.
After all, during the team training match yesterday, he knew that he would be able to log into the "God of Basketball" account in tonight's game against the Celtics.
In addition, the Celtics lost Ray Allen and traded Perkins. The chemical reaction of the entire lineup was completely destroyed. As far as their abilities are concerned, they are actually eighth and ninth in the Eastern Conference, or even less. .
This is bound to be an incredible night!
It's just that he didn't expect that on such an incredible night, he finally scored 83 points!
Broke Kobe Bryant's single-game record of 81 points...
His first reaction was:
Another big hit!
Miami.
The Heat's home game against the Los Angeles Clippers is over.
Relying on Wade's lore, the Heat struggled to hold the home court.
LeBron James scored 35 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the "big triple-double". In the end, Wade's lore shot was LeBron's pass!
It was this pass that allowed LeBron to score his 10th assist.
The first time the hit was made, LeBron James rushed up and hugged Wade excitedly.
It is indeed my good "Pippen"!
Then he ran to say hello to Griffin.
The Heat have now climbed to the third place in the East, although there is a huge gap with the Knicks and the Bulls.But in terms of record, the Clippers can't compare with them at all.
The main reason why this game was so inseparable is because of Griffin.
The "No. 09 pick in 28" wanted to do evil in the interior tonight. Chris Bosh didn't have any temper against him, allowing him to get a luxurious "double-double" of 12 points and 10 rebounds, plus Jordan's 12 points and [-] rebounds , The Clippers were even the leading side at one point.
Fortunately, the outside line of the Clippers is once LeBron's "old subordinate" Mo Williams.
It seems that he wants to repay the "Little Emperor" and took him to the All-Star bench. In this game, Mo Williams made 7 of 0 shots from outside the three-point line.
Iron ah, "iron" out of Jordan's "forehead lines"...
"Good job, dude!"
LeBron James hugged Griffin, affirming the latter's performance on the court.I couldn't help but hugged little Jordan again.
I can't help fantasizing:
This crouching dragon and phoenix chick, if there is only one person, the whole world can go!
such a pity……
Don't know if Chris Bosh can trade Griffin or...
Little Jordan is also good!
The host on the sidelines waited quietly. LeBron James met her eyes and thought about the question the reporter might ask:
"What do you think of Griffin's performance..."
"How did you decide the Heat's final attack? You will attract the defense, and Dwyane will end the offense?"
……
He also thought about the answer in his heart, but the reporter's question was:
"The home game between the New York Knicks and the Celtics is over. Li Wan scored 83 points. Are you right..."
"How much, how much?"
The host was still talking, but LeBron James was stunned, and repeatedly confirmed what the reporter said, it was indeed 83 points, not 38 points...
How...how did this guy do it?
There are all kinds of turbulent waves in my heart, but the words I say are absolutely standard answers:
"He is such a player. Seriously, you may not believe it, but I really think that Li Wan will score at least 70 points in this game, because he played very well in the last game against the Eagles. I knew that was not the end, but the beginning... Sure enough, he broke out and performed much better than I imagined!"
Wade also knew the news, stared blankly at the reporter in front of him, and the first sentence he spoke was the same as LeBron James: "Are you sure, it's 83 points, not 38 points?"
When the reporter showed Wade the photo of Li Wan holding the "83" white paper, he was convinced that Li Wan really got 83 points!
"It's incredible, it's really incredible, what else can I say? This is an incredible guy..."
With a muttered tone, he still needs a little time to digest all this.
He immediately thought of the "Kobe's 06-point dragon slaying night" in 81, and that night also made him feel incredible.
but……
And that's all!
Now hearing that Li Wan scored 83 points in a single game, apart from being shocked and unbelievable, he also felt a strong pressure...
No way, no matter how strong Kobe was at the time, it would not have much influence on him. He could still say from the perspective of a bystander: Oh, brother is awesome!
Even scored 9 points.
But now, the New York Knicks are one of the biggest imaginary opponents of the Heat in the playoffs this season...
If the Heat can't win the championship this season, they are destined to be reviled by thousands of people!
If you don't make it to the finals...
hiss!
Wade took a deep breath.
Don't dare to think! Don't dare to think!
The melancholy made his cheeks look even more swollen.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have pushed the "old man" so hard...
Los Angeles.
4 points in the early hours.
Kobe woke up again.
He didn't sleep well that night.
Woke up several times in a daze.
When he woke up this time, he didn't intend to sleep again.
Getting up carefully, covering Vanessa who was still sleeping soundly, he quietly left the room.
He took out his phone and took a look, only to see a news pop up on the phone window:
"83 points in a single game, Li Wan's "Fighting the Gods", attracting New York fans to worship! "
The pupils shrank slightly.
Kobe wiped it, and the phone screen, especially the "83 points" area, wiped it several times.
After finally confirming that he read it correctly, he searched the Internet for related news.
This search was unstoppable, Google popped up hundreds of thousands of related reports...
One photo in particular stands out:
Li Wan shot a three-pointer.
What is striking about this photo is that...
The player defending Li Wan fell to the ground.
And this player who was knocked down...
Paul Pierce!
This guy……
Kobe's mood suddenly became complicated...
He suddenly thought of the early morning before Li Wan left Los Angeles for Orlando. ——In fact, every time Li Wan shocked him, he would always think of that early morning.It's just one more time.
At that time, he could feel Li Wan's ambition:
Don't want to be just "Pippen", he wants to be Jordan!
Later he also proved himself.
In the second season of his career, he won the finals MVP trophy that he only got in the 12th season of his career!
Now he is leading the New York Knicks to sweep the entire league with a strong performance of "triple double" per game...
Originally, Kobe thought that this should be Li Wan's temporary limit.
did not expect……
This guy gave him a huge shock so quickly!
To be honest, Kobe felt the pressure for the first time in a long time.
The age of 33 is actually not too old. After all, it was after this age that Michael Jordan started his second "three consecutive championships".
Things Jordan can do...
Kobe thinks he can do it too!
But the speed of Li Wan's rise is too frightening...
After thinking about it, he called his agent: "Dude, I've decided, help me buy a helicopter!"
Los Angeles is too congested, and it is impossible for him to get up at 4 am every day to go to the arena...
In order not to waste too much time on the road, Kobe has always had the idea of buying a helicopter.
Just never made up my mind.
Right now, Li Wan scored 83 points in a single game, which made him feel the ferocity of the "back wave".
He doesn't want to retire with 4 championship rings, so he can't just watch Li Wan leave him behind.
Although Kobe now feels that he is 1v1 heads-up, he can still beat Li Wan...
But even the proud "Mamba" has to admit...
The gap is not big anymore!
After finishing the phone call, Bryant drove off to the Toyota Center.
The sky gradually brightened.
The media reports did not stop overnight, and directly impacted the entire United States on the second day...
Overwhelming, 90.00% of the reports you can see are discussing this matter.
The Ohio State newspaper used two large pages to report on this matter.
At the same time, Li Wan received a call from the head coach of the university, who congratulated Li Wan and revealed a piece of news to Li Wan: The school is considering building a bronze statue for him in front of the arena!
This made Li Wan's eyes light up.
Whether in the NBA or the NCAA, building a personal bronze statue is definitely the highest honor a player can get on his home team. Considering the impact, it is more difficult to get such an honor in the NCAA.
After all, no matter what, a player can play in the NCAA for his alma mater for four years. For Li Wan, who has only played for one year, his retired jersey is actually over.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
Li Wan is the exception. According to the original words of his university head coach: The Ohio State University basketball team is not considered a wealthy family in the NCAA.The championship Li Wan brought to this team is also the first NCAA championship in 50 years.
The school has also been lacking an influential Ohio star in the sports industry...
The heritage is the foundation of a school.
The more capable alumni, the more stable the foundation of Ohio State University.
In the sports industry, the rise of Li Wan made the NBA feel incredible, and it also made the Ohio school think that Li Wan would become a cross-generational NBA player.
Been watching all the time.
At the same time, he instructed the Ohio State Newspaper to enhance the influence of the Ohio State Newspaper's coverage area for the four of them.
Li Wan's "Night of 83 points" made the school officially make up its mind to promote this matter.
But for the time being, it is just a plan handed over to the school board, and the specifics have to be worked out slowly. The coach revealed it to Li Wan, and hoped that he would pay more attention to this aspect...
Li Wan nodded and thanked the coach.
"Did the three of them call you?" Before hanging up, the coach asked again.
Li Wan sighed on purpose: "Coach, they are not the same as they used to be. They will only be jealous when they see their alumni achieve results..."
"what?"
When the coach heard this, he became angry at that time.
Don't know, Ohio State guys help Ohio State guys?
What the hell is infighting here?
"Lee, wait..."
He had to talk to the other three about it.
Five minutes later, Li Wan received his first call from Mike Conley.
"Wow, Li, you don't do anything related to people!" Mike Conley really didn't expect that there would be such a brazen person in this world.
Last night, this guy specially pulled a conference video, and he chatted for half an hour.
During this period, they didn't insert their mouths once.
The result is jealousy, right?
"Wait, you'll have diarrhea in the next game!" Oden also called afterward, cursing "viciously".
Li Wan smiled "hehe": "I'm sorry, I'll take a break for the next game... I scored 135 points in two games, Greg, you may not understand what it feels like!"
"dududu~"
……
"ESPN" specially organized a "round table meeting" to discuss "What is the highest score in a single game of Li Wan's career..."
83 points is scary, but according to Li Wan's "January Law", next year there may be a "90 points in a single game". This idea is scary and bold.
But among the 7 experts, 4 experts actually believed that Li Wan's "highest score in a single game" is likely to continue to rise in the future.
The reason is simple, this guy is only 22 years old, far from the age of the best physical fitness!
"Maybe it will break Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game!"
Because the person who said this was Bill Wharton, it surprised the outside world even more!
Barkley was excited to say he was right.
After all, it was before the start of the game that he said that Li Wan's madness must have exceeded 52 points, and it turned out...
Li Wan gave him an "83 points"...
This Nima!
Even if he had a premonition that Li Wan would perform even crazier, he still felt a little scary!
No, it's not a little bit, it's scary!
In addition, the "Cleveland Candide" also carried out a large-scale detailed report on the game, calling Li Wan "the pride of our Ohio state going out!"
While the Los Angeles media and Orlando Multimedia reported on the matter in detail, they questioned the two general managers again:
Do you regret it?
Outside the Amway Arena, the street parade this time is obviously much more spectacular. After counting it carefully, there are at least 3 people in the parade.
Howard drove to the team's training by himself, looking at the Magic fans parading on the road, his face was a little bitter.
After the "Christmas War" passed, the atmosphere in the Amway Arena took a turn for the worse. Once the team performed poorly and lost the game, there would be bursts of boos from the audience.
Looking at the current posture of the parade, I am afraid that the next days will be even more difficult.
Li Wan...
Another blow to him!
Howard rubbed his face for no reason.
He feels...
It hurts!
At the same time, for the first time, this idea came to his mind:
It seems that Li Wan is indeed more suitable to lead the team than me...
He is the natural boss...
?
Howard frowned, his self-esteem turned the statement in his heart into a question!
He didn't accept it and lost to Li Wan...
Take it easy!
Take it easy!
I'm sure the best for Orlando!
If Orlando is now restless, then Boston is completely messed up.
The proud Bostonians felt humiliated in this game.
The "Green Army" has never been so useless!
"Is this still the Green Army?"
"Boston needs a cardinal!"
"It's time to rebuild, Rivers is out of class!"
These are the banners that appeared at the entrance of the North Shore Garden Stadium early the next morning.
The management also quickly responded to the extreme thoughts of these fans:
Rivers, get out of class!
……
And these reports are just the beginning.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, David Stern was interviewed about Li Wan's 83 points in a single game: "When a player completes such a performance, there is nothing to say. The league is about to enter a new era. This There is no doubt about it!"
The meaning of this statement is easy to understand:
Li Wan will become one of the faces of the NBA in the next stage!
After Li Wan knew David Stern's statement, he was not very surprised.
Because the original David Stern also expressed a similar opinion after "Kobe's 81-point Dragon Slaying Night": If Kobe wants to transfer the Lakers to the East, we may agree, because as the representative figure of the NBA today, everything Everything should be done for him.
You must know that Kobe was a controversial negative figure at the time. The controversy about the Eagle County incident was still with him until Kobe won the Oscar.
Under such circumstances, Kobe, who scored 81 points, directly allowed David Stern to dispel his concerns in this regard and re-established his identity as the "face of the league".
Li Wan, an NBA player who has always had a positive image, scored "83 points in a single game". It is not surprising for him to say such words in an interview.
But what he didn't know was that David Stern set off for Asia immediately after the interview.
Before the plane took off, his eyes were full of excitement...
The old "labor agreement" will officially expire on July 7.
But the battle between labor and management has already started at this time.
The specific situation is: the management has been "crying poor", and the labor side thinks that the bosses are too greedy... From the attitudes of both parties, it can be seen that the "labor-management agreement" may not be able to renew the contract smoothly after the expiration, or even It is very likely that it will enter a long-term lockout like it did in 98!
This is undoubtedly what he, the president of the league, does not want to see.
But in the current situation, it is useless to rely on him alone.
He has been troubled for a long time by this.
But after Li Wan's "Fengshen Show", David Stern found a way to break the situation. ——Broadcast contract!
The NBA's broadcast partnership with ESPN is still three years away.
During this period of time, ESPN has not talked with them about the rebroadcasting contract. Obviously, they also want to see the results of the "labor agreement"...
If ESPN can be allowed to renew the contract at a high price in advance, everyone will have meat to eat, and the issue of splitting will not be so tight!
What David Stern has to do now is to let ESPN take the initiative to offer a high-priced broadcast contract extension.
His plan is also very simple...
Go to broadcasters in Asia and talk to them about broadcasting contracts.
Get a high-enough broadcast deal from them, and put the word on ESPN.
As ESPN, which also wants to take the "globalization" route, without the NBA's overseas exclusive rights, it will definitely affect their growth.
The media industry ushered in further growth.During this period of time, whoever can take a step closer will be able to sit firmly on the "leader"...
If during this period of time, without the NBA's overseas exclusive broadcasting rights, ESPN's basketball section will inevitably have a vacuum period... You know, although the NBA is still the third in the United States, it is the real leader in the world!
But the NBA will not continue to "globalize" because of the loss of the ESPN channel.
To put it bluntly, after the opening of the Chinese market, the NBA's "internationalization" trend has become unstoppable by the media.
The end result is...
ESPN paid a sky-high price to renew the contract in advance. Driven by huge interests, the labor and management quickly compromised, signed the contract, and entered the next 10 years...
Li Wan scored 83 points...
It was so timely!
David Stern is gone.
With such a large amount of reports, even some Americans who don’t watch basketball will more or less hear similar words: 83 points, Huaxia people, Li Wan, handsome guy, kneeling...
In fact, this night, like the "81 Points Dragon Slaying Night" back then, is a night full of stars.
The Spurs hit the Warriors with a high score of 134 to 138.On this night, Stephen Curry set a record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game not long ago with nine three-pointers.
The Bulls beat the distracted Hornets with 46 points. After three quarters, the Hornets only scored 58 points... Derek Rose scored a career high of 45 points in this game.
Add to that LeBron James' "30-point triple-double"...
But Li Wan's sharpness was too strong, covering the brilliance of this group of people.
The protagonist of the report the next day, besides Li Wan, is Li Wan!
Even the few teams that had games that night, when they were interviewed, the reporters' questions were related to Li Wan.
Tim Duncan said with a blank face: "At first I thought someone else made a mistake. I saw this news in a news floating window. When I saw 83 points, I felt something was wrong. I Very surprised, I thought someone must have got the numbers wrong...until I saw Lee Wan's highlights from this game, I could only shake my head, God came to Madison last night, the Celtics witnessed God's show again !"
In fact, his reaction was far less calm than what he said now.
His first reaction was...
Laugh wildly!
Finally, the outside world can forget the embarrassing fact that he was dunked twice by Li Wange in one game!
Kevin Garnett is really...
good brother!
He called Kevin Garnett at the time.
It was a good comfort, and Kevin Garnett was almost moved to tears in his comforting voice.
He and Kevin Garnett would have become better friends if he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Unfortunately, I didn't hold back...
Call again, the phone is turned off!
Ok……
Tim Duncan thinks Kevin Garnett is shutting down, not blocking him.
Popovich said in an interview: "Even if Jesus comes to defend Li Wan tonight, there will be problems!"
