Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 310: Before the Christmas War

Return to the first battle.

Li Wan handed over a gorgeous data sheet:

52 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

In particular, the Cavaliers, who have won 2-6 in their previous eight games, defeated the Hornets, currently ranked second in the league.

It’s even more surprising.

This is also too obvious for the improvement of the team, right?

Is that really a bug?

Basketball is not a discussion, but the news is…

Therefore, early the next morning, the headlines of the major media were all related to this game, or rather, all related to Li Wan.

The group of commentators led by Barkley blew Li Wan “in the sky and nothing in the ground”, and the reporters in the United States naturally wanted to report it when they saw that the cowhide was blowing so much, so that everyone knew that they “licked” Li Wan’s posture.

It’s just that the media at this moment don’t know what Li Wan will look like next.

On December 18, Li Wan returned to the second battle and played Bobcat again.

Li Wan, who just threw 11 three-pointers in the last game against the Hornets, continued to feel hot in this game, throwing 6 three-pointers in the first half, and when he clocked out of work in the third quarter, the number of three-pointers he hit in the game had reached 8, and finally Li Wan scored a “quasi-triple-double” of 45 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in this game.

On December 20, Li Wan returned to the third game, facing the old owner Orlando Magic, this time he was crazy in the first half, throwing 7 three-pointers, and finally the game ended, Li Wan hit a total of 10 three-pointers, and scored a total of 52 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists.

Tonight’s Amway Arena is packed, marking the first time this season the arena has reached full capacity.

Unknowingly, every season Li Wan’s return to the city has become a festival for these fans.

And Li Wan’s crazy performance also made Orlando fans burst into tears…

Woo hoo, Giegie still loves us!

If he didn’t love, he wouldn’t hurt us so hard!

The game also made Li Wan the first player in NBA history to shoot at least 7 three-pointers in 3 consecutive games.

Even Stephen Curry, who is crazy outside the three-point line this season, can’t reach Li Wan’s state.

But Li Wan’s performance is not over, on December 22, Li Wan faced the Dallas Mavericks and made 9 three-pointers again…

Reporters asked why he was in such a hot state.

Li Wandao: “I have rested for a long time, my brothers are very hard, and now… It’s their turn to rest! ”

When the Cavaliers heard Li Wan’s words, they felt that Cleveland in December was not very cold!

There are such “bosses” who feel like they are in spring every day!

Li Wan really, it’s so warm!

The reporters went on to ask: “So do you think your performance beyond the three-point line will continue?” ”

Li Wandao: “In the game, it definitely can!” ”

This made all the reporters around him laugh.

Also……

This is undoubtedly a stupid question.

Who can always hit 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 feel no different from 2K games, he is a human after all!

If you are a person, there will be ups and downs in the state.

Although Li Wan’s state is already known for being stable in this league, he averages 7 three-pointers per game, which is still too exaggerated!

But if Li Wan knew that they understood it this way, I am afraid he would say a word:

You’re all thinking wrong!

Averaging 7 three-pointers per game, it is really not difficult for Li Wan now.

After all, the “Neural Knife” badge is too buggy!

At the beginning of the season, his three-point shoots were not as good as they are now, mainly because 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 three-pointers were only an auxiliary means…

Just like the “mid-range shooting king” Houston, his stepping line can be accurate for three points, but once he pays attention to the three-point line at his feet, his accuracy immediately declines. Does this have anything to do with strength?

It’s more a matter of shooting habits.

Habits are scary things, and once set, it’s really hard to change.

Li Wan is also because he has not been playing for a long time, coupled with his strong ability to adjust, he has been able to achieve the new season for more than a month, gradually get rid of the dependence on relying on mid-range jump shots to solve problems, and begin to consider using three-pointers to increase the threat!

That’s why he began to outshoot Stephen Curry in his three-point shooting in the back… It was only injuries that delayed his “transformational performance”.

Otherwise, the madness of the moment should have happened in early December.

Therefore, Li Wan’s “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 the rest of the league’s head coaches will not let him shoot outside the three-point line, and the three-point targeting for him will definitely increase later. ——It can be seen from the opponent’s defensive strategy in the past few days that the head coaches of other teams in the league have increasingly targeted Li Wan’s three-point shot, and against the Dallas Mavericks, Li Wan can clearly feel that the Mavericks even studied his shooting hot spots outside the three-point line, and there were a few angles in the position of resolutely not letting him stand.

Of course, even if the opponent targets, Li Wantie has a dozen shots, and he can also average 7 three-pointers per game.

But the problem is…

The matter of “lang investment” has nothing to do with “stable Li Wan”.

What he is better at solving battles in an easier and more targeted way!

If this way requires him to give up part of the stage to his brother, he will not hesitate. This is also the reason why Chris Bosh became a “dragon king” in seconds by his side, and Wiggins can grow steadily.

Compared to him, the “best player of all time” is not very good in this regard.

Until the age of 82, he still liked to keep the whole cake for himself and distribute it by him.

This is also the reason why there are no rookies around him to emerge, and occasionally the flash of inspiration is only when he is injured that he seizes the opportunity to emerge.

December 23.

The Knights, after playing the Mavericks, immediately rushed to the Jewish Sirs.

Although Li Wan did not mean to rest in this “back-to-back”, Taryn Lu still decided to let him take a turn off, and 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 say Christmas, he also nodded and did not refute anything.

This season’s “Christmas Wars” program still has the Cleveland Cavaliers’ name.

And their opponents …

It was none other than the Bulls who defeated the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals last season!

Such a “moment of revenge” is worth Li Wan’s round break.

However, although Li Wan took a break, the Cavaliers won this “back-to-back” game.

Wiggins played very aggressively in this game, usually looking at the silly face with a bit of rare ferocity. He ended up with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, as well as 2 steals and 1 block.

The performance is not average excellent…

On the car back to Cleveland, Wiggins, who was sitting with Li Wan, suddenly turned his head towards Li Wan and said, “Li Wan, this time… I will definitely not hold you back any longer! ”

The resolute gaze made Li Wan stunned.

He still doesn’t quite fit into such a hot-blooded Wiggins…

Wrong!

It should not be said that Wiggins, who is not adapted to such a hot-blooded one.

It should be said that it is…

Not very comfortable with the increasingly hot-blooded Wiggins at the moment.

Such a warlike look is sure that “Brother Goji” can have?

Li Wan smiled and nodded.

This piece of jade can also be regarded as chiseled out by him!

Meanwhile, the Bulls also wrapped 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 this opponent is, after all, the bottom in the East, the New York Knicks, who have not won five games so far in the new season.

Even if they won, the Bulls crowd wasn’t too happy.

Thibodeau, in particular, spoke to an interview after the game and bluntly said that the victory was nothing to be happy about for the Bulls.

“This was supposed to be a win, and I’m more focused on the next game against the Cavaliers than this game…”

Li Wan’s recent momentum is really fierce.

Now there is also a special rotation for the “Christmas War”, and everyone knows that this is for the Bulls.

The opposite side is preparing to win this “Christmas War”, he naturally does not want the team to lose to the Cavaliers…

“It’s going to be a tough fight, but I’m sure we can have the last laugh! Because…… We have Derek Ross! ”

“In my opinion, he is no less than Li Wan’s player!”

Derek Ross is averaging 27.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.4 steals so far this season… There is no significant improvement in performance compared to last season, and even many aspects of the data have regressed.

But if you look closely at Derek Rose this season, you can clearly see his progress.

He……

There is a projection!

In particular, his shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line reached a new career high of 37%!

A “Windy City Rose” that has not suffered major injuries and developed its projection ability in advance…

Of course, that’s not all his hole cards.

Jimmy Butler!

The “Plan B” member, whom Li Wan’s favor, also honed his three-point shooting ability this summer.

He is currently averaging a career-high 37% from three-point range per game!

As he developed relatively consistent shooting ability with Derek Ross, coupled with the Lul Deng, who already had first-class shooting skills…

In this way, the biggest flaw of the Bulls this season: no three-pointers, made up!

In Thibodeau’s opinion, this Bulls can achieve better results than last season…

Well……

Last season, they finished runners-up without trophy.

Better results than overall runners-up…

Is that still said?

Overall Champion!

The entire Bulls are also working in this direction this season.

It is worth mentioning that after winning against the New York Knicks, they overtook the Nets and reached the first place in the East for the first time this season.

At this moment, they can be described as imposing!

At this time, usher in the “Christmas War” with the Knights, and naturally have to win!

No matter where the Cavaliers are currently standing, for any team in the league to go for a championship, it must be defeated.

Only after beating the Cavaliers in the regular season can you shout the slogan “We are champions”!

A more important point:

Last season, the Bulls stepped on the Cavaliers to reach the Finals.

Won last season, lost this season…

This will be a blow to anyone!

So, you can’t lose!

It was also for this reason that the Bulls, as if playing “back-to-back”, hastily ended the interview and returned to Chicago early.

Before they returned to Chicago, the Cleveland Cavaliers had arrived in Chicago.

It was “Christmas Eve” in American time.

Li Wan and Taylor at the hotel and the “Little Li Wan” video.

Unconsciously, “Little Li Wan”, who was born in the summer, is almost 6 months old.

But if you look at the body type…

How the hell is it only 6 months?

That’s at least 1 year old, right?

“I was still awake and ate my hands, and I fell asleep after a while.”

Taylor tried to focus the lens at “Xiao Li Wan”, and when the lens focused, revealing the clear appearance of “Little Li Wan”, let Li Wan look at it for more than ten seconds, and she pointed the lens at herself again.

Behind her stood Gigi Hadid.

When Taylor turned the camera at her, she also greeted Li Wan warmly: “Hello, brother-in-law.” ”

Li Wan smiled at her.

He knew that this Christmas, several of his son’s godmothers would come to the house to spend the holidays with him.

Think about the scene of Yingying Yanyan at that time, and then think that my son will probably grow up in such an environment in the future…

Is it?

Don’t you mind “Jia Baoyu”!

After greeting Hadid, Li Wan chatted with Taylor Swift for a while, and when it was almost over, Taylor Swift glanced to the side twice, and suddenly lifted her clothes, inside…

It is a black QQ underwear with openwork.

The balloon that has become bigger than usual because of the increase in N is somewhat tempting to look at at the moment.

“Miss you!”

After the bold move, Taylor Swift gave a kiss in the air, and then hurriedly hung up the video as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Li Wan’s mind replayed the moment when she lifted her clothes, extremely profound.

OK……

Not a chick!

Otherwise, you can sleep this night?

December 25 arrives.

Although it was away, Li Wan still prepared gifts for everyone, each with a Rolex watch.

Including Taryn Lu also received gifts from Li Wan.

Flattered, his expression was more like “sea bass”.

Meanwhile, in the Bulls’ locker room, Thibodeau was mobilizing pregame: “… Remember, we are number one in the East, which means we are the best team in the East, this is our home stadium and I believe that no one can beat us here! ”

His prestige with the Bulls is undoubted, and his words directly ignited the flames in the eyes of the Bulls players. One by one, they walked towards the home players’ tunnel.

The moment they came out of the home players’ tunnel, the deafening cheers of the audience “poured down” and poured into their heads. They were also a little stunned.

Chicagoans have always been supportive of their home team.

But it’s still rare for Bulls fans to be so excited in the opening game.

They can feel what these guys are cheering about:

You have to win, guys, we believe in you, and you can win the Cavaliers tonight!

Lee Wan and Jimmy Butler were photographed on the sidelines before the game.

Show off their new sneakers together.

Plan B unveiled Li Wan’s second signature shoe this summer: the Cleveland Promise. It also gave Jimmy Butler his first signature shoe: Little People, Big Stage.

And tonight, Lee Wan and Jimmy Butler wore their “Christmas limited edition” again.

Not only the two of them, but also the feet of Stephen Curry, who is away from Miami at this time, is also the “Christmas limited model” that has just been launched.

After finishing the group photo, Jimmy Butler looked at Li Wan very seriously, and said word by word: “Li, there is no doubt that you have made me who I am now, if it were not for your inspiration, I might not have gained such attention so quickly, 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 was not saying cruel words, but like he was in… Recite the full text?

In the end, the serious face was even more cramped and uneasy.

Well……

No way, this is the first time he has spoken ruthlessly to Li Wan.

Man!

The first time was 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 impression, and his heart actually produced an old father’s relief:

Okay, this pig in my family has grown up and knows arch cabbage!

“Learn trash talk, boy, this is too bad!” Li Wan thought in his heart, but his mouth shot back mercilessly, and at the same time he looked disgusted, “I hope your performance in a while can be a little harder than your mouth, otherwise I will be too disappointed!” ”

Well, write the outline of this season that was sorted out before, and the plot when it was written, and when it is re-combed, I want to write again, but it’s too late, and then the more anxious I am, the more I can’t write, the brain is like paste, just put it for a day, tomorrow 15,000 for everyone to make up.
