Chapter 351 Never try to target players like Li Wan,(2/5)
Li Wan's physical energy was depleted a little faster than usual.
What's more, he attacks with high frequency, which consumes even more energy!
"However, I still have 5 timeouts on hand. If you can't hold on anymore..."
Tyronn Lue gave Li Wan a "you know" look and patted Li Wan on the shoulder. Li Wan saw this series of actions, which were full of the shadow of "Zen Master".
Sure enough, the first man in his player career is so unforgettable!
Tyronn Lue has been an assistant coach to Stan Van Gundy for so long, but he has gradually become like a "Zen Master".
Li Wan nodded and said nothing more.
The Bulls' sudden change of formation was indeed not expected by the Explorers, and it may not have been in the Bulls' own regular tactics, but at this moment their effects are showing, and it is also a fact that Columbus cannot adapt.
so……
At this time, Li Wan must stand up and continue to hold on to the situation!
You can't just throw the ball to your teammates at such a critical moment and just wait for the "easy ball" when the offense and defense transition, right?
Impossible, whose “boss” looks like this!
Thibodeau's eyes widened when he saw Li Wan come on the court for the first time in the fourth quarter.
He is very angry!
Li Wan was so tired from playing in the third quarter!
If it were him, he would definitely let Li Wan take a rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Tyronn Lue, this "dog transporting bass", would not feel sorry for him as the opponent's head coach!
Get out of here!
Well, the most important thing is that this is too "rogue"!
From the very beginning, both sides were in full strength, so as soon as the fourth quarter started, the atmosphere on both sides was immediately full.
Kevin Durant was really in good shape tonight. In his first attack, facing Li Wan's defense, he raised his hand and shot after a "triple threat" and hit a three-pointer from the front to close the gap.
We caught up with only 6 points left.
Li Wan took the ball directly from the backcourt. He was still directing his teammates' movements after halftime. As soon as he reached two steps in front of the three-point line, he lowered his shoulders and rushed towards the basket.
As he just directed his teammates, the Bulls' entire defense was spread out so wide that there was no time to move back.
Kevin Durant tried his best to cover him in front of him, but he still opened up the shooting space after he entered the basket.
Score 2 points!
The score difference is back to 8 points!
The Bulls' serve was also very fast. Derrick Rose was advancing like a wind. Brogdon was still hesitating whether to hit him. When he stopped his rhythm, Rose had already grabbed the position from beside him.
Kings made up for it, but at this time, the ball passed from Derrick Rose's hands to Jimmy Butler.
Jimmy was in really good shape tonight. He took the ball in the open position and made a slight adjustment. While observing the defense, he raised his hand and shot.
But he was only looking at the front. Li Wan came out diagonally from behind him and slapped the ball away.
The ball flew directly into the hands of Chris Bosh, and it was a fast break opportunity. Tyronn Lue was about to shout "good ball" off the court, but Mirotic caught the ball one step ahead, and a half
After turning around, he paused, then immediately turned forward. With this "tango on the spot", Chris Bosh was swayed to the other side, and he was left open under the basket to complete the goal.
The Spaniard's "surprise effect" tonight continues!
The score difference returned to 6 points.
The joy on Tyronn Lue's face disappeared. He glanced at the time. One minute was about to pass. If the score couldn't be opened in the next minute, Li Wan would definitely have to play the entire fourth quarter of this game.
Already.
Li Wan's rest in the first half was quite normal. He only played 19 minutes of 24 minutes and rested for 5 minutes. When converted to 48 minutes, Li Wan's playing time was only 38 minutes. This is very reasonable in the playoffs.
of playing time.
But now Li Wan has played the entire third quarter. If the fourth quarter is still full, then Li Wan will play about 43 minutes in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals...
The current offensive rhythm is still so fast...
Just this one game may be nothing, but if we fight like this every time!
I'm afraid even Iron Man can't stand it.
Didn’t you hear what the plowing people said?
There is no damaged land, only exhausted cows!
Tyronn Lue suddenly felt that if this was the case, he might have to wait for a few more timeouts in the next game, otherwise, it would probably not be enough for Li Wan to catch his breath.
He was thinking about Li Wan's next rest here.
Thibodeau was lamenting Li Wan's abnormal state.
The fourth quarter started with a fierce battle, and it was another drama of "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu".
But Lu Bu fought with Sanying for a long time, and gradually felt exhausted. He exploited his weakness and fought his way out of the siege, escaping back to Hulao Pass.
Fortunately for "Lu Bu", Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler have been surrounding each other for such a long time and still haven't failed.
Really bad...
So if I trade Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler for Li Wan, will you do it or not?
Four minutes passed quickly in the fourth quarter, and the point difference was still 9 points. The Bulls failed to narrow the point difference as they wished, and Tyronn Lue's idea of defeating the Bulls again was not achieved. The two sides entered a "peaceful development"
"Expect.
But Thibodeau looked at the increasing offense of Chris Bosh and Wiggins, and clearly didn't want the rhythm of the game to continue like this.
If Li Wan is allowed to recover, will the game still be suspenseful?
Therefore, he motioned to the three people on the court, Kevin Durant, and asked them to continue to strengthen their offense.
Kevin Durant responded positively to Thibodeau's gesture. On the Bulls' next possession, he beat Li Wan and successfully put the ball into the basket again with the help of Noah's screen.
The score difference is 7 points.
This time, Tyronn Lue had the problem of "taking the small and losing the big".
After Kevin Durant hit the ball, he chose to continue to play Chris Bosh and Wiggins, two strong points, but for these two points, the Bulls now have good restrictions.
Mirotic's height and Noah's defensive assistance can well limit Chris Bosh's breakthrough. As for Wiggins, Jimmy Butler can also deal with it.
This team's defensive resources are actually very abnormal.
With two "boom" sounds, Chris Bosh and Wiggins each made an iron blow, and the point difference came to 5 points.
Tyronn Lue was a little dumbfounded.
The time of the fourth quarter fell below the last 4 minutes. When Kevin Durant saw that the Columbus Explorers failed to attack again, he took the ball in his hands and dribbled forward hurriedly.
Everyone can see that he wants to make a difference in this round and bring the point difference back to 1 round.
But when he reached the three-point line with the ball, Li Wan, who had not been closely guarding in this game, suddenly increased the intensity of the confrontation and also increased the frequency of cutting the ball.
Kevin Durant, who was used to Li Wan's defense, was a little impatient by Li Wan's sudden increase in intensity. He tried to force Li Wan out of his cylinder with a "big loop" "triple threat posture".
But Li Wan cut the ball with a precise slap.
And when he turned around to chase the ball, he completed a complete victory in the physical confrontation, took the ball in his hand, rushed to the frontcourt alone, and completed a "one-stop" dunk.
Due to the impact of his physical fitness, Li Wan, who was panting heavily, did not stop in the air to think of a move, but just made a simple chop.
Now all his physical energy is used on the blade. How can he waste so much physical energy on fancy moves?
The score difference returned to 7 points.
The cheers at the scene reached a boiling point.
Kevin Durant was still sitting on the ground, facing the hands of Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler stretched out in front of him, he didn't dare to reach out, let alone look at them.
He was supposed to be the team's hero in this round, but in the matchup with Li Wan, he became a "bear" again.
"Man, it's just this round, the game is not over yet!" Derrick Rose could feel his frustration, patted him on the shoulder, and then winked at Jimmy Butler, and the two of them pulled Kay.
Vin Durant pulled him up.
Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout at this time.
Li Wanjie brought him tea and water.
The rhythm of the game almost went to the Bulls' side because of his "greed", but Li Wan single-handedly pulled the rhythm back.
Li Wan~
Really are……
Kenny Smith watched the replay of the ball with infinite emotion in his eyes.
To be honest, he was ready to say at the end of the game, "Kevin Durant played very well tonight. Li Wan did not restrict him very successfully. In this league, Kevin Durant played very well."
There are only a few, or rather, the only ones who can do this!"
