Chapter 320 The largest single-game point difference record in the playoffs
Author: ruthless love for the common people
When the Cavaliers won the fourth pick in the first round of 2016, everyone from the Nets also arrived in Cleveland on a special plane.
Carmelo Anthony was the first to come out of the plane. Looking at the poster of Li Wan that could be seen as soon as he left the airport door, his eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit.
The clouds in Cleveland in May became a little restless.
Even the wind carries a stinging pain.
Um……
I came to Cleveland just to hurt Li Wan and this city!
Carmelo Anthony believes that after this series, he will be known as "Lee Wan's nemesis".
Before the game, he once again expressed confidence: "We can definitely beat the Cavaliers!"
May 17, Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland.
The NBA Eastern Conference Finals begin first!
"Come on, guys, let's play a wonderful game and win the first victory in the series!" Carmelo Anthony asked his teammates to cheer him on before the game.
Just before entering the game, while still in the locker room, as the game time approached, he keenly felt the tension of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.
He was not surprised by this. These two guys had lost to Li Wan too many times. These painful pasts made them not believe that they could still beat Li Wan. Carmelo Anthony had already stressed to them in the locker room at that time.
: "We have each other. This is our most powerful weapon, a weapon so powerful that no one can defeat us!"
Now, he said this again.
Reporters on the sidelines sighed, from the Nuggets to the Clippers, from the Clippers to the Nets, have they ever seen such a passionate Carmelo Anthony?
Tonight, he is in the "boss state" that Denver fans have been looking forward to for n years and have never seen before!
Looking at Carmelo Anthony with such fighting spirit, Howard had some doubts in his eyes. Although he and Carmelo Anthony now have a very good relationship, listening to Carmelo Anthony's words,
He actually held back something in his heart:
Is it true?
Can we really defeat Li Wan?
I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me...
This is the fourth time in Howard's career that he has met Li Wan in the playoffs. His partner has changed from Felton at the beginning to Joe Johnson and Steve Nash, and then to Chris Paul.
With Carmelo Anthony...
This is his return to the Eastern Conference finals stage after 7 years. In terms of final results, this is indeed his best year, but in fact, he is more inclined to believe that... this time it was his good fortune that he did not meet Li in advance.
Wan and the Cavaliers, otherwise the difference in results wouldn't be much...
Of course, looking at Carmelo Anthony who is so ambitious at this moment, he must not be able to emulate others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, so he nodded fiercely and responded.
Anthony looked at Howard who was so positive and nodded with satisfaction.
His teammates are all so positive, and he is still able to "defeat" Li Wan. This is a sure thing!
You're not going to beat the Cavaliers 12-3 at the start, right?
Haha~( ̄▽ ̄~)~
The big screen at the scene showed the starting lineups of both sides:
"Cavaliers: No. 1 Li Wan, No. 2 Joe Johnson, No. 3 Wiggins, No. 4 Chris Bosh, No. 5 Adams;
Nets: Chris Paul at No. 1, Bogdanovic at No. 2, Carmelo Anthony at No. 3, Thaddeus Young at No. 4, Howard at No. 5;”
Amid roaring cheers, the game officially began.
Howard successfully jumped to the ball for the Nets in the opening game.
The first time Chris Paul reached the frontcourt with the ball, he gave the ball to Carmelo Anthony, who was actively asking for the ball.
Facing Wiggins at a 45-degree angle on the flank, Anthony's signature "triple threat" started. However, compared with when he was young, he has obviously increased his tonnage and lost explosive power. With this starting speed, Wiggins can easily keep up.
, the card stopped his breakthrough.
Seeing that the breakthrough was blocked, Anthony stopped and simply "posted up", but when he turned to face the frame, Li Wan quickly double-teamed him, and Carmelo Anthony, who had already raised his hand, forced the shot but failed.
middle.
Under the basket, Howard anticipated rushing to the basket, but with Adams blocked, he could only watch as Chris Bosh grabbed the rebound.
The Cavaliers counterattacked and the ball was given to Li Wan 2 seconds later.
Seeing that the Nets had only one Chris Paul on defense, Li Wan didn't hesitate at all, stepped forward and ran over Chris Paul to complete the attack.
2-0!
Paul spreads his hands towards his teammates. How can he defend against this?
Anthony continues to ask for the ball from the wing.
The Cavaliers' defense against him was obvious. They used Wiggins's confrontation to let him hit him with a back. When he was halfway through the back hit, Li Wan quickly stepped forward and formed a double-team with Wiggins.
The effect of this move was obvious. Carmelo Anthony's second shot was once again interfered with by Li Wan.
Ordinary people in the same position would not be able to cause such interference.
But who made Li Wan's hands almost as big as cattail leaf fans?
When Carmelo Anthony faced his hand, he felt that the bright lights in the arena dimmed.
Howard still failed to grab the offensive rebound, and Adams blocked his position accurately. "Warcraft" showed a pained expression when he returned to defense.
If he just failed to grab rebounds or offensive rebounds twice in a row, Howard would not be so frustrated. But because he could clearly feel it during the confrontation, and Adams was very aware of some of his little moves.
But the problem is...
It seems like he and this guy haven't faced each other a few times, right?
Why is it so familiar?
His eyes inadvertently slid over to the Cavaliers bench, where Kwame Brown was looking at him with a playful expression.
No wonder!
Howard immediately understood why Adams was so used to him.
Behind the courage is the master Kwame Brown!
When they were on the Magic team together, Brown often played the "two-person game under the basket" with him. He really knew him better than the bitches he frequented in nightclubs.
Basically, if you stick your butt out, you will know what to fart!
This made him turn around and look back at Carmelo Anthony, feeling even more confused:
Can we really win?
This time the Nets retreated very quickly. When Li Wan reached the frontcourt with the ball, their defensive formation had already been set up. Looking at Chris Paul, who was a whole head shorter than him, Li Wan also
You're welcome, he took a step back with a feint, pulled up and shot, and the ball was released quickly. Chris Paul, except for jumping up and giving Li Wan a knee, could only watch as Li Wan completed the shot.
"Whoosh!"
The crisp swishing sound.
Chris Paul has despair in his eyes.
How to prevent this!
5-0!
Anthony was defended for two consecutive rounds. This round he did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, but signaled Chris Paul to play it himself.
After "cp3" called Howard's pick-and-roll, he made a throw in front of the free throw line. As soon as his arm was raised, Wiggins jumped out from nowhere, and his fingertips successfully rubbed the ball surface.
"Bang!"
The ball hits the basket and pops out directly.
When Howard went to the inside, Adams got stuck again. With his ability to get up from the basket, when he desperately reached for the ball, Li Wan protected the ball in front of him.
Another counterattack.
This time, only two people from the Nets successfully retreated, one was Carmelo Anthony and the other was Chris Paul.
But for the Cavaliers, Li Wan broke through the middle with the ball, and Chris Bosh and Wiggins on the left and right wings also kept up with his rhythm.
Three on two in the frontcourt!
Looking at Anthony and Paul who were desperately retreating, Li Wan slowed down in front of the free throw line and shot. Seeing this situation, Anthony rushed forward. Li Wan seized the gap and passed the ball to Chris Bosh on the wing.
Shi's "inside pass" assisted Wiggins to complete an easy dunk.
7-0!
While Wiggins showed a silly smile, the referee blew the whistle and Jason Kidd called a timeout.
"Guys, wake up, don't be fooled. We are already on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals and show our intensity!" Kidd believed that the Nets had not yet recovered from the intensity of the semifinals.
To be continued...
