Coach Lee

Chapter 623 I hope you are right (37)

An All-Star game originally planned for Michael Jordan, turned out to be changed by Li Nan's ultra-long three-pointer.

After the All-Star Game, Li Nan and the Nuggets also became "targets of public criticism".

The "crazy targeting" from the Magic, Wizards, Lakers, 76ers and other teams made almost every game of the Nuggets a tough game.

Of course, the Nuggets are not vegetarians. Soldiers come to cover up water and soil. Although the record has dropped a little, it has little impact. They are still a member of the vanguard of the league.

.

And the Wizards after the All-Star break are finally on track.

This is also due to the recovery of their core player Jordan.

It seems that he was "hit" by the All-Star Game, and Jordan would always teach the boy who was facing him on the court.Whether it was playing ball or trash talking, Jordan hit his opponent hard in every way.

Among them, the worst is Paul Pierce, who was recorded in a small notebook by Jordan.

Since the first time he played against Jordan, Jordan has never let this kid go.

The first time was to score 40 points on top of Pierce. After the All-Star Game, Jordan scored 50 points and 51 points in two consecutive games against the Celtics, leading the Wizards to educate Pierce hard. pause.

Pierce expressed his innocence: I didn't steal your MVP.There is a wrong and a debtor, so who should you go to?

Jordan: I am thinking about the future of the country, I am doing it for your own good!
Of course, if possible, Jordan may say: I just like to find soft persimmons.

Because of Jordan's efforts, the Wizards have now caught up to the second place in the Eastern Conference, almost tied with the Pacers led by head coach Thomas.

Looking at this posture, this year's Wizards still have ideas about the playoffs and the final championship.

.

On the other side, the Lakers, O'Neal is back.

Before O'Neal returned, Kobe's single-core team was already on the right track.

What people didn't expect was that when O'Neal returned, the Lakers suddenly seemed to start over, and they didn't advance but retreated.

Kobe led the team to No. 8 in the Western Conference. As a result, as soon as O'Neal came back, the Lakers dropped to No. 5 with 2 wins and 3 losses in 10 games.

The media came out to speak for Kobe.

"Shaq or Kobe, I think the Lakers have made a decision."

"Who is leading the team?"

"Kobe should be the leader of the team!"

The Lakers struggled for nearly half a month, and at the beginning of March, they finally got better.They started to catch up slowly.

It is impossible to chase the first group, and there is no big problem in the playoffs.It's just that, with the home field advantage in this playoffs, they have nothing to do.

.

Soon, after March passed, the structure of the alliance became very obvious.

The top four in the West, proud of the entire league.With almost 4 games left in April, the top four teams in the Western Conference have already confirmed their playoff spots.

1. Mavericks, 53-20
2. Kings, 52-20
3. Nuggets, 51-21
4. Spurs, 50-22
5. Timberwolves, 44-28
6. Lakers, 42-30
Ninth in the West, Houston Rockets, 37-35.
The top four in the West is a competitive group, and then there is a competitive group.

For the remaining Bees in April, for the top four in the Western Conference, the competitive pressure is not as great as the teams behind.

The Nuggets won two consecutive games at the beginning of the month and temporarily took the number one throne.

The next opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Just happened to meet old Jim leading Syracuse University to the NCAA finals.

Taking a break from their busy schedule, Li Nan and the others also stopped by to have a look.

.

On April 4th, the 7 NCAA Finals was held at Columbus University in Ohio State. The two sides were: University of Kansas vs. Syracuse University.

Although Columbus University's record in the NCAA is not very good, their basketball stadium is definitely the most luxurious, even more embarrassing than the NCAA giants such as Duke and North Carolina.

The entire arena is spacious and bright, with complete audio facilities, which is no worse than many NBA arenas.

Although Ohio has the Cleveland Cavaliers, fans prefer the NCAA.

After all, the records of the two teams are not very good, the NBA is too commercial, and the NCAA game is more pure.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely hot.

In addition to the fans of the two teams, the locals in Columbus are also extremely excited.

When Li Nan and Wang Dazhi appeared on the sidelines, there was a small commotion at the scene.

"Wow! Lee!"

"MVP! Li, you are the MVP in my heart!"

"King! Ah, the King is back! Our King is back!"

"That's Ben! That's my idol!"

The appearance of the Nuggets caused a commotion at the scene, such as autographs and handshakes.

The players on both sides didn't come over to say hello, but just watched, looking at one of the Nuggets.

"Is that person Li? It doesn't look like much."

The players were indifferent, but Old Jim walked over with a smile on his face.

"Li, are you here?"

The Syracuse University players also dropped their jaws.

Is this still their "cruel" old Jim?

Anthony, who was sitting on the sidelines, just glanced over there, seeing that old Jim and Li Nan were pointing at him, Anthony also turned the direction lightly.

What was old Jim saying to them?Must be talking about me, right?They are also old Jim's disciples, they have won the NBA championship, and I can't fall behind.

.

The game starts soon.

Anthony, wearing the No. 15 orange jersey and an orange headband, was very eye-catching.

Anthony, who is already a starlet in the NCAA, as long as he scores a goal, there will be huge cheers on the scene, and there are even screams from some girls.The momentum was much more sensational than when Li Nan and the others entered the arena just now.

Anthony involuntarily glanced at the sidelines. Old Jim did not stand on the sidelines to direct, but was talking to Li Nan who was sitting in the back row. Their eyes were still looking at him.

Anthony knew they must be discussing themselves again.

No matter what you say today, you have to play well!

On the field, Anthony started his attacking kaleidoscope performance, and every goal drew exclamations from the scene.

Under Anthony's strong attack, Syracuse University opened up a double-digit lead early in the first half, and Syracuse University completely suppressed this opponent.

On the sidelines, Old Jim didn't watch the game very much, but talked to Li Nan happily about Anthony.

"Lee, you gave me really good advice. Cameron is really great. He is the best college student I have ever coached."

"Ahem." Wang Dazhi coughed from behind.

Old Jim also smiled, "Oh, one, one, hahaha."

But Li Nan ignored them and said, "Old Jim, to be honest, Cameron is not as good as you said. You still didn't listen to the advice I gave you."

Old Jim knew that Li Nan was talking about cultivating Anthony's overall view and the ability to organize passing balls.

"No, Lee, I tried. But this kid's obsession with offense got the better of me in the end. He's a natural offensive nuke."

Li Nan also mentioned his concerns, "However, he might not be LeBron's opponent in the NBA."

"That's not necessarily true, is it? It's like Michael and the magician, who is better between the two? I think they are neck and neck, and the outcome depends on their impromptu performance." Old Jim's face was full of confidence, It's confidence in your perfect work.

Li Nan smiled faintly, "Well, I hope you are right."
