Chapter 167 Advancing to the Finals
Chapter 167 Advancing to the Finals
Bull Rose's shooting ability has not been very good.
He usually deals damage by breaking through.
Such players are generally afraid of double-teaming.
Just look at LeBron in the 07 Finals...
"Rose" is no exception.
In addition, the second position of the Bulls is still Hinrich.
In fact, Hinrich's shooting ability is not weak, and his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs was as high as 42.2%!
It is already the level that can only be achieved by the best three-point shooter in the league!
But his shooting needs to be adjusted, and his shooting speed is not fast...
As long as he is a purer pitcher at the second position, Rose may not be so difficult!
Bulls head coach Vinnie DeNagro tried Rasheed Wallace and Noah to pick and roll Rose respectively in an attempt to create more room for Derrick Rose to break through.
Rose's talent lies here. When he has more room for breakthrough, he can explode with a stronger breakthrough ability, and maybe he can directly break through double-teams with speed...
From this we can also see how terrifying Derrick Rose's talent is.
Some players, you know he will break through, but you just can't guard against them, such as Allen Iverson, or Irving...
Compared with these two, at least I have the skills, and I can comfort myself when I am overwhelmed. They are good at playing ball, so I also need to strengthen ball control training.
In the evening, practice more "two-handed ball control" at home.
Derrick Rose's breakthrough is purely relying on talent to hit people, leaving you with a completely unresponsive temper, just want to go home immediately, wash up and sleep.
Fuck your basketball dreams!
Playing against the Celtics, the Bulls relied on Derrick Rose to pick and roll with the inside to stun the Celtics.
But that's the Green Army...
No Kevin Garnett, no overall athleticism...
The Magic are different. Li Wan and Raja Bell's back line, plus Dwight Howard's supplementary defense, not to mention the "bronze wall and iron wall", not even a fly can fly in.
That is also "iron chain connecting the river", one after another.
Derrick Rose's breakthrough was repeatedly blocked.
Once the scalpel-like breakthrough is gone, Rose's lack of organizational skills as a rookie, and his own vision is not good enough.
At the end of the first quarter, the Magic successfully opened the point difference to more than 7 points.
In the second quarter, Pooh adjusted his style of play, allowing Hinrich to control the ball for a while.
As the "brain-type" number one, Hinrich, who "can't run fast and jump high", can be regarded as a representative of playing with his brain.only……
Once he got the ball, Derrick Rose was stuck on the wing.
And like Hinrich, there is no way to attract defense and involve formation.
That's what makes the NBA interesting.
Although Hinrich's state dropped a lot last season, he still averaged 12 points and 6 assists per game, and Derrick Rose was almost at the peak of his debut.
Looking at the numbers alone, the two are definitely a very good backcourt combination.
But because both of them need a lot of ball rights, once one of them gets the ball, the other can only stand by and stare...
So……
Hinrich's possession of the ball did not make the Bulls' offense smoother, but more rigid...
As the absolute core of the former "Bulls Revival Society", Hinrich is known as "capable of sudden and good shots".
But it turned out that he could do both, but he was not good at either.
It's okay to ask him to release the cold arrow suddenly...
Ask him to carry the flag...
Especially after experiencing a sudden decline in the 07~08 season...
It cannot be said that there is no hope at all, it can only be said that it is impossible!
No way, the ball can only return to Derrick Rose's hands again.
Looking at Raja Bell in front of him, and Li Wan next to him, "Rose" looked bitter, slapped the ball twice, gritted his teeth and charged hard.
The tacit cooperation between Li Wan and Raja Bell intercepted his ball.
2 vs 1 up front...
Derrick Rose watched Li Wan pass the ball back and forth with Bell, and finally scored with a one-handed dunk.
The live commentator made a "it's all over" gesture.
In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith also said: "It's over, obviously, Derrick Rose's breakthrough has been adapted..."
The Magic completed such a straightforward steal in the backcourt, and Derrick Rose's next situation may be even more difficult.
At the end of halftime, the point difference between the two sides reached double digits.
Rose made 13 of 3 shots in the half, only 8 points and 4 turnovers.
Kenny Smith was right. Li Wan and Raja Bell made a steal in less than 2 minutes.
At that time, Derrick Rose looked a little bit...
Lengtouqing~
If it weren't for Ben Gordon calling his own "bankrupt version of Jordan's shooting bag", I am afraid that the score difference in this half will be more than 15 points.
Ben Gordon scored 11 points in the second quarter...
Seriously, it's a good thing God didn't give this guy a "ball-holding" skill point. Otherwise, this guy's explosive scoring power would definitely be Li Wan in 04!
Of course, there are more and more labels on Li Wan now than before.
This season, there are more labels of "stability", as well as labels such as "good passing", "good overall view", "excellent organizational ability"...
It has become another synonym for "combo guard" in the NBA!
There is not only one "good scoring explosive power".
Barkley watched Derrick Rose come back from the locker room.
He still rested his head, and the 15-minute rest period did not make the child change his mood.
Also, he played really poorly in the first half of the game.
It can be said that it was his worst game since the playoffs.
"That's the growing pains, kid!"
He sighed.
Everyone has come this way, and only after going through these difficulties can more vivid roses bloom.
Even with a bad first half.
He is still optimistic about Derrick Rose.
Even more optimistic about this "Wind City Rose".
After all, the defensive power invested by the Magic is also real.
But under such circumstances, you can still see Derek Rose's "flash of inspiration" at certain times, and he will definitely have the potential to become a superstar!
the most important……
Just keep a good attitude!
At this time, the picture was shown to Li Wan.
Barkley thought to himself: Don't be influenced by this guy...
This kid is not human!
But he is normal!
in fact……
Just looking at the first two rounds of the series, Rose is better than last year's Li Wan.
But the general opinion of the outside world is that Li Wan's performance is better.
In addition to the stronger opponent, it is also related to Li Wan's individual rescue of the team several times!
This is where Derrick Ross can't compare.
Although his performance was also at the team's thigh level, compared with Li Wan, he lacked that sense of shock.
When the team is in a desperate situation, often he can only sink with the team, but Li Wan can always bring incredible performances.
Of course……
It's just a rookie, no one will criticize him too much, if he can play at the thigh level in the team, he is already very good!
If only anyone could be like Li Wan, who would perform against the sky in the playoffs from time to time, dragging the team forward by himself...
Li Wan wouldn't be so hot anymore!
Let's just say...
If you rate it, Derrick Rose scored 100 points in his rookie season, and basically can't pick out any obvious flaws!
He led the Bulls to the final Eastern Conference Finals!
When was the last time the Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference Finals?
98 years!
But Li Wan's 100 points...
Is the score is only 100 points...
But it cannot be said that Rose, who scored 100 points, is not good...
This score has exceeded 99.9% of geniuses!
Therefore, even if the game ends tonight, the Bulls will lose 95 to 110 at home to the Magic.Kenny Smith's most uttered line is...
"There is indeed a certain gap between these two teams, just like last year between the Magic and the Celtics..."
It was only because of the X factor of Li Wan that the Magic lasted to Game 7 of the series.
Bulls...
"If you can last 6 games, you will be considered a success!"
Barkley asserted.
Some media said this before, and the attitude of the Chicago media at that time was disdainful...
Will it count as a success if it lasts 6 games?
We have Derrick Rose, only 6 games?
Don't be ridiculous, be careful we picked the Magic directly!
just now……
They feel that it is indeed not bad to be able to last to 6 games.
The rapid change of attitude is related to Derrick Rose's performance in the first game:
全场比赛结束，德里克-罗斯22投6中，三分球4投1中，罚球7罚5中，以27.2%的投篮命中率拿到了17分4篮板5助攻，同时出现了6次失误。
Such data also made the Chicago media realize that it will take some time for this "rose" to bud...
It is no exaggeration to say that Derrick Rose is the foundation of their self-confidence, and now that it is gone, they will naturally recognize the reality.
The smell of gunpowder in the Eastern Conference finals was reduced a lot.
The Magic continued to triumph and won the second home court very simply.
Then he won the third game of the series at the home of the Chicago Bulls.
The big score came to 3-0!
Just when the outside media was terrified that the Magic was about to sweep again, the Chicagoans who were dying to die began to explode in the fourth game of the series.
This is the most accurate game for all members of the Chicago Bulls in this round of the series, and it can even be said in this year's playoffs. The team's average shooting percentage is over 55%, and the three-point shooting percentage is over 50%!
最终，这场比赛也是以德里克-罗斯突破篮下2加1锁定胜局，以108比106艰难扳回一程，将大比分改写成了1比3.
next game...
Going to Orlando again.
Noah, who scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, yelled hard after the game.
Derek Rose, who scored a series high of 25 points, also clenched his fists.
Not being eliminated on his own home court is the last stubbornness of the Bulls' "Youth Army".
They did too!
Long after the game ended, the Chicago fans in the auditorium were reluctant to leave for a long time, and responded to the Bulls' stubbornness with cheers.
They also know that the next game in Orlando, I am afraid that the Bulls will be in bad luck, and there is a high probability that it will be the last game of this season.
but……
At this moment, Chicago fans want to tell these Bulls fighters with cheers...
This season has been like this, which already makes them very happy!
especially you……
Derrick Rose!
The outbreak of this game at a critical moment convinced Chicago fans that Derrick Rose is the one the entire Windy City has been waiting for!
Orlando fans...
I am also very happy!
The Magic team lost this game, although it is a pity, because the Magic team has not lost two rounds of the playoffs so far this year, and it is about to complete three rounds of "sweeping".
As a result, it still fell to the last step.
Fall short.
However, to be able to watch the Magic win the Eastern Conference championship with their own eyes, and return to the stage of the finals after 14 years, this feeling...
It's cool to think about it!
Winning the championship requires a sense of ritual!
Breaking records even more so...
They naturally hope that they can witness the moment when the Magic win the cup at their home court.
5 month 23 day.
Amway Arena was once again overwhelmed.
Nearly 2 Orlandoans attended, and even the fan aisle was almost packed.
Witness the historic moment of the Magic together!
Many fans at the scene also brought their own eastern championship banners and shook them at the scene.
The Magic didn't disappoint the excited fans either.
From the beginning of this game, there was a tough offense and defense.
The Bulls obviously didn't expect that the Magic put the decisive moment at the beginning, and there was a very obvious discomfort.
Their defensive membrane was pierced.
Then he fell into a state of inextricability.
Watching the Magic come in and out, shoot and shoot...
But powerless to stop.
The most ruthless was Howard, who clasped and clasped his big hands.
Before the end of the three quarters, the Bulls were already 20 points behind.
100 to 78…
When the score was fixed, the cheers on the scene completely filled the entire arena.
The people of Orlando greeted the historic moment with hysterical cries.
After 14 years...
The team finally made it to the Finals again.
Li Wan walked towards Ross amid cheers.
The camera has been following.
You can see a bit of frustration in Derrick Rose's eyes.
Although he himself has a hunch, this game will be his last game in his rookie season.But when he really waited for this moment to come, he still couldn't help but feel a little more depressed in his heart.
"This is the last lesson you have to learn, rookie! If you want to win, you have to lose first!" Li Wan believed that Derek Rose would be very satisfied with the quality of his teaching!
However, he obviously didn't notice that there was a little more resentment in Rose's expression.
The "Best Rookie" in 09 felt that Li Wan...
Don't talk about martial arts!
There was a lot of discussion from the outside world about the two of them.
Derrick Rose knows that too.
He also took a special look at the analysis of the two of them from the outside world...
I even thought about it myself:
He probably couldn't defend against Li Wan's attack.
But at the same time, Li Wan probably couldn't prevent his breakthrough.
So, in this Eastern Conference Finals, the two of them should be...
Mutual explosion?
Ok……
That's what Derrick Rose was thinking before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.
He thought it would be a battle between two super rookies, attacking and defending each other, to prove who is the best of the two!
Anyway, all the blockbuster movies Rose has seen are like this...
In the end, he really didn't expect it!
In the entire series, Li Wan never defended against him alone!
Not only is there no single defense...
He also led Pietrus and Raja Bell to double-team the whole game. From the first game to the last game, as long as he and Li Wan matched up, he must have entered the encirclement of the Magic's back line!
This guy……
Do you know that you are a supernova?
When a supernova meets another supernova, shouldn't he be tempted to go head-to-head on the court?
Why is this guy's brain circuit leading people to fight together?
To put it bluntly, Li Wan ruined Derrick Rose's "hero dream".
If this series taught Derrick Rose anything...
That is to let him know what it means to be "no matter how good your martial arts are, you will be afraid of kitchen knives"!
What else is called...
No Bilian!
Li Wan was very satisfied with the fighting spirit in Rose's eyes, he didn't say anything, and turned his head to look for that figure.
Thinking he was looking for him, Rasheed Wallace quickly lowered his head and hid behind the neighboring reporters, only to find that Noah was already hiding.
A "squat pit" look
"Ok?"
The two looked at each other.
Noah felt the familiar smell from Wallace, and hurriedly made room for him.
Just about to lock on Li Wan's position, and then sneak out, what they didn't expect was that Li Wan separated from the crowd and stood in front of them:
"Hey, I'm here, Jokin, I said I couldn't find you! I'm sorry, I'm lucky this time, I won again!"
Noah sneered, showing an expression uglier than crying.
Speechless.
What made him even worse was that he bet that those dead ghosts in Florida had already sent messages on his mobile phone to mock him.
Fortunately, Li Wan quickly looked away from him.
Because Li Wan...
He saw the incoming - Wallace again!
"Roaring Tianzun" staged a textbook-style face-changing at the speed of light for Noah: "Li, I was going to find you, but I haven't seen you. Sure enough, the future is yours! Dude, you won again!"
Noah had a learned expression on his face.
Sure enough, as a rookie, I still have a lot to learn!
Li Wan smiled and gave Rasheed Wallace a high-five, and said, "I still like your rebellious look!"
Rasheed Wallace had recovered from embarrassment by now.
Hearing Li Wan's words again, his expression didn't change at all, instead he was grinning.
He could hear that Li Wan's words were full of ridicule, not much malice.
这轮系列赛5场比赛，李万场均可以贡献28.4分6.4篮板6.8助攻2抢断1盖帽。
The shooting percentage was 46.8%, the three-point shooting percentage was 42.4%, and the free throw percentage was 88.4%.
Even on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, this guy's performance is still so terrifying!
This is enough to prove that this guy has a bright future...
Is it ashamed to lose to such a person?
Certainly not ashamed!
Just like Karl Malone lost to Michael Jordan twice in the finals, does anyone think Karl Malone is weak?
Others will only think that Michael Jordan is too strong!
It's normal for Karl Malone to lose!
As the only team in the Eastern Conference to force the Magic to Game [-] this year, Rasheed Wallace actually thinks ... they can walk away with their heads held high.
You know, as strong as LeBron and the Cavaliers, there is no way to force the Magic to the fifth game!
That's it!
Really good!
Of course, it also has a lot to do with the dead memories attacking Rasheed Wallace all the time...
Li Wan is now in his eyes, four words: unattainable!
The trophy of the Eastern Conference champion also came to the center of the court at this time.
This time, the cheers of the fans at the scene became louder.
Especially when Li Wan and Howard lifted the trophy together, the "blue ocean" kept churning, forming wave after wave.
Most of the Orlando people present tonight are actually seeing the Eastern Conference championship trophy for the first time.
after all……
The last time the trophy appeared at Amway Arena was 14 years ago.
The young fans hadn't grown up at that time, and the young fans hadn't even been born...
Perhaps this explains why...
In the auditorium tonight, the slightly older fans were already crying.
14 years!
How many 14 years can there be in life?
The old man who gave the animal head to Li Wan also came to the scene tonight, but he didn't appear on the sidelines until the end of the game.He was afraid of distracting Li Wan.
Although this is impossible, it is related to the Magic's Eastern Conference finals, and he does not want to become an X factor that may affect Li Wan's performance.
Li Wan smiled and ran to greet him.
The old man was obviously more enthusiastic than before.
Now that the Eastern Conference championship trophy is in hand, there are only 4 victories left before the championship!
Sure enough, his vision was right.
Li Wan is the guy who will bring Orlando the first championship in team history!
He is looking forward to the moment when the dream really shines into reality.When the time comes, he will go to his father's cemetery to tell him the good news.
after……
Don't give him dreams!
My son is also getting old, so I can't sleep well...
The awarding process for the Eastern Conference champions is simple.
No ribbons, no championship speeches, just a simple Eastern Conference Finals trophy.
Because, everyone knows, the battle is not over yet!
"We're going to take at least one win from Los Angeles and come back to Orlando and kill 'em!"
In a hotel in Denver.
Kobe is watching TV.
On the TV, it was Li Wan's interview with media reporters.
This provocative remark made the entire expression of "Black Mamba" extremely serious.
Bring at least one win away from Los Angeles...
At least?
"cut!"
Kobe smiled angrily.
He took out his cell phone and called Pau Gasol: "Man, let's end this series, I can't help showing some color to some ignorant brat!"
The Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Nuggets will start one day earlier than the Eastern Conference Finals.
So yesterday, they finished the fifth game of the series.
However, in the first few games of the series, they drew 2-2. Although they won the fifth game of the series, the big score was only 3-2.
They still need to win the next game.
Game 6 of the series is in Denver...
Based on the state of the Nuggets in the first 5 games, the Lakers have a winning percentage of at most 7% against the Nuggets.
The mature Carmelo Anthony paired with the current Nuggets lineup system is a bit unexpectedly tricky.
But after watching tonight's game, Kobe felt a little extra motivated to end this round of the series. ——God knows what the bitch will say in front of the media if the Lakers lose Game [-] of the series!
After the call with Pau Gasol, Kobe called Odom again.
Hearing the dynamic music on the phone and the noisy human voice, he instinctively frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You can come back!"
The voice was not loud, but half an hour later, Odom ran back with Bynum honestly, and reported to Kobe's gate.
Tomorrow's game...
Must win!
Li Wan...
Wait for me!
The light in the room was already dark, and Kobe, who got into the bed, clutched the quilt, but his eyes were piercing.
Some things, the more you think about it, the more angry you get.
Especially those who are cautious...
Meanwhile, a bus was parked outside Orlando International Airport.
The Magic players got out of the car one by one, and they had to go to Los Angeles to adjust their status in advance.
Before getting on the plane, Howard looked back at the entire airport, and then glanced at Li Wan next to him. He who was still excited just now seemed to have just returned to reality: "Are we really going to Los Angeles?"
The meaning of this sentence is actually...
Are we really going to the finals?
From the moment he was selected by the Magic with the No. 04 pick in the first round in [-], his goal was to bring the Magic back to life, proving that the Magic was right in choosing him!
because……
When the Magic won the No. 04 pick in [-], McGrady didn't want the Magic's management to choose Howard, and said directly: "I don't want to play with high school students!"
He wants to choose an immediate combat power, or use the No. [-] pick to trade an immediate combat power back...
This made Howard very sad.
Obviously McGrady entered the league as a high school student, Howard thinks... McGrady should understand the difficulties of high school students better!
Why is it so malicious?
So Howard is grateful for the Magic's insistence on choosing him, and wants to lead the team to a good result!
just now……
After so many years of hard work, after Li Wan's arrival, they took one step at a time, breaking through the second round to the Eastern Conference finals, and breaking through the Eastern Conference finals to the finals.
"Lee, are we going to win the championship?"
The plane was about to take off, Howard turned his head and glanced at Li Wan next to him.
Li Wan looked out the window, and when he heard Howard's question, he turned his head and glanced back at him: "Of course, there is no doubt about it..."
The tone is light, but there is no doubt.
Howard didn't expect Li Wan to be so confident...
There was questioning in his eyes.
Li Wandao: "Because we are the best partners!"
After speaking, he smiled!
Howard also laughed, he liked what Li Wan said.
Then repeated: "Yes, we are the best partners!"
then……
He's off to play Texas...
Li Wan put on a blindfold to sleep.
Just like with the Lakers, after 2 months with the Magic, he is no longer eligible to participate in Texas Hold'em...
About 9 hours later, the plane sent a notice.
Los Angeles is here!
Li Wan took off the blindfold and glanced out the window.
It's already bright.
Looking at the weather, the sun is clearly shining!
I don't know if it's because of my arrival in California.
While still on the plane, Li Wan felt dry for a while.
He was woken up again!
Turning his head to glance at the cabin, the game of cards broke up at some point, and they were all upside down at the moment.The Magic team entourage is waking up these sleeping beasts.
The moment the plane stopped, Li Wan put on his backpack and walked out first.
The familiar dryness hits my face.
Li Wan flirtatiously took out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack and put them on.
He wanted to shout out:
Los Angeles……
I, Li Wan, are back!
wipe……
Good middle school!
If I had known that I would not have watched "Fights Break Sphere" on the bus yesterday!
Li Wan originally read the e-books recorded in MP4, but now he can follow up chapter by chapter.
To say that the current Tudou update is really fierce...
Chapter 10 Begging for a Monthly Pass...
Li Wan almost forgot that he was such a potato.
Turning on his phone and taking a look, Tyler texted him asking if he was there.
Li Wan took a picture of the airport.
Taylor could not wait to run to the airport to meet him.
Li Wan sent Taylor the address of the hotel where they stayed.
At the beginning, Taylor was ready to pick up the plane, but Li Wan felt that when he first arrived in Los Angeles, he acted separately from the team, and he felt that the collective concept was not strong.
The finals are just around the corner, and he can't let his teammates have such thoughts and affect the atmosphere of the team.
Anyway, before coming here, Stan Van Gundy has already said that today is a day off to adjust his state.
In this way, after staying in the hotel, Li Wan will be fine when he goes to see Taylor again.Because when the time comes, these guys will not stay in the hotel at ease.
Here is...
Los Angeles is full of lights and feasting!
It’s not easy to have a day off, of course you have to have fun!
1 and a half hours later.
When Li Wan checked into the hotel and walked out again, the horn of a high-end modified Ford car rang twice at the door, and at the same time the window on the right was rolled down, revealing that standard pretty face.
Cool white skin, and iconic red lips.
It was Taylor who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Taylor was much more anxious than Li Wan thought.
It is necessary to run errands when driving to a remote place.
Knew it!
The longer the relationship goes on, the more active and rascal the girls become.
All the reservedness I had when we first met was gone.
unknown……
I thought the roles were reversed!
However, relying on superb skills and super strength, Li Wan quickly took the initiative.
Taylor was suppressed, but he didn't admit defeat directly. Instead, he became more and more frustrated...
The stormy fight lasted for about an hour.
Taylor showed a satisfied smile, and began to look at the rearview mirror in the car, arranging his makeup.
Li Wan cast a puzzled look at her.
How do you feel about who you are going to meet next?
Taylor seemed to have noticed Li Wan's questioning eyes, spread the lipstick evenly with his fingers, and said, "Li Zi will be here soon, let's pick her up..."
"Li Zi?" Li Wan was taken aback, "Why is she here?"
"It seems that my uncle and aunt miss me, let her come to see me..." Taylor showed a "I can't help it, I'm just so cute" expression.
Li Wan suddenly realized: "No wonder you are in such a hurry..."
Not even the "Smurfs"...
Subconsciously counting the days, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
The media in Los Angeles and Denver also noticed that the Orlando Magic had arrived in Los Angeles.
The media on both sides had mixed reactions.
The Denver media is cranky.
Before the Western Conference finals are over, you all went to Los Angeles. Who are you looking down on?
Needless to say, this game must be won!
The Los Angeles media was worried.
The Magic have begun to adjust their status, and they haven't finished the Western Conference Finals yet...
It's undeniable that this game must be won tonight.
I have something to do today, I will come back after 2:8 pm, [-] words, I will make up tomorrow.
(End of this chapter)
