Coach Lee

Chapter 743 When the strong are strong, the weak are weaker

"Welcome to the Denver All-Stars!"

The Denver Nuggets' press releases have been reported one after another, and the NBA is also working hard to promote it.

And everyone's focus quickly shifted from the Nuggets' 6-game winning streak, Li Nan's explosive output, and Barkley's slap in the face.

Everyone's new focus is the Denver All-Star Game!

Especially the dunk contest!
Kobe, McGrady, Carter, all participate!
What kind of dunk contest is this?
Although Li Nan hasn't said it yet, it can already be predicted that Li Nan will also participate in this dunk contest.

Then,

That is,

The Slam Dunk Contest of the Century is coming!
"Wow!!!!!!!!"

Countless NBA fans are excited.

The second round of all-star voting, which has already started, also saw a surge in the number of voters.

If the tickets for the All-Star Game hadn't been on sale yet, they might have been sold out by now.

.

However, at such a juncture, the Nuggets, which everyone thought was about to take off, started losing again after six consecutive victories.

The Nuggets lost to the third-to-last underdog in the Eastern Conference, the Charlotte Bobcats.

In this season, the Bobcats with All-Star power forward Chris Webber, All-Star guard Michael Finley, championship guard Andre Miller, giant Gerald Wallace and No. [-] Yi Jianlian did not Played a beautiful record.

More than half of the current schedule, the Bobcats only won 9 games.

It is obviously a strong team lineup, but the team has played such a bad record.

There is no way, there are not many teams in the league that are really big. It is not easy for the Bobcats to win.

It's just that many Bobcats fans who "come here especially" expressed their dissatisfaction with the team.

However, the little boss Jordan also stood up: "Don't worry, give them more time and be patient!"

The staff up and down the Bobcats was in no rush.

They are very patient and patiently cultivate the team rookie Yi Jianlian, giving Yi Jianlian a lot of opportunities in each game.

On the court, on the training ground, and off the court, Olajuwon and Webb are also Yi Jianlian's teachers.

The Bobcats team building idea is very clear: the young No. [-], Yi Jianlian!
We just want to cultivate Yi Jianlian!Like Yao Liang!
From the perspective of Bobcats management, Yi Jianlian's talent is even better than Yao Liang, and he is completely the next Olajuwon, the next Chris Webber, and the next Duncan.

Although Yi Jianlian's performance on the court is still very young, his average performance of 24 points per game also made him rank first in the rookie rankings.

In today's game against the Nuggets, Yi Jianlian even played against Milicic.

On both ends of the offense and defense, Yi Jianlian did not lose the wind in the slightest.

30 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks,

Yi Jianlian played the best game of the season.

A career-high 30 points, a career-high 12 rebounds, a career-high 7 assists, and a career-high 4 blocks.

After the game, Li Nan had a good chat with Yi Jianlian's teammates.

Chris Webber, Michael Finley, Gerald Wallace, Andre Miller coach Rudy Tomjanovich, Olajuwon, owner Jordan
Li Nan greeted everyone well.

Moreover, after the game, Li Nan also hosted a banquet for the Bobcats at a Chinese restaurant in Charlotte.
Treat your opponent to a big meal after losing the game?
Finally someone saw through Li Nan's operation.

"As long as it is a team with Chinese players, the Nuggets have a high probability of losing, because Li is showing mercy and releasing water."

As soon as the news came out, some people raised doubts.

"I can't say for sure about this. After all, Li Nan also won the highest 50 points in the game. Where is the water? If 50 points are also water, then there will be no match-fixing in this world."

"No! The Nuggets are letting water out! Lee's game state is completely different. Before the six-game winning streak, Lee was fully committed to the state, but in the game against the Bobcats, Lee's state was very relaxed. He Didn't try my best."

Another round of debate in the media has begun.

Then, the Nuggets beat the Mavericks at home.

89-109
The Nuggets beat the Mavericks by 20 points.

The Mavericks have Chinese player Butt.

The opposition has its reasons.

"Look, the evidence is here! Li definitely didn't release the water!"

However, just a few days after the words of the opposition came out, the Nuggets lost again.

The Nuggets lost to the Eagles in the East again.

The Eagles have three Chinese players, Wang Dazhi, Wang Shipeng and Xue Yuyang.

After that, the Nuggets lost at home to the Western underdogs Jazz.

The Jazz have no Chinese players.

Now, the media people are ".".

Someone also summed up the Nuggets:

If you meet the strong, you will be strong!This is the bloodiness of the Nuggets!
This is the sympathy of the Nuggets!

Some people also think that this is a stocking tactic of the Nuggets.

"Like last season, the Nuggets have adopted a self-stocking tactic. This is to fully train the team's young people. When the Nuggets' record declines, the Nuggets will ask Lee to lead the team to win. Competition. Maybe only Li can do it?"

An expert is an expert, and the analysis is so clear that it is easy for people to believe it is true.

.

It was in this atmosphere that January passed away quietly.

February is here.

On the first day of February, the league announced the best of the month.

Li Nan turned out to be the best player of the month in the Western Conference!
Li Nan's personal data is indeed exploding. 40.3 points, 9 rebounds, 8.3 assists
However, the Nuggets' record of 9 wins and 6 losses is not very good.

掘金队的1月战绩完全在西部是排不上号的，湖人12-4，太阳12-2。

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be given to Li Nan.

However, after looking at the candidates in the East, you will know why.

The best in the East was given to James,
The Cavaliers are 8-5.

James averaged 25.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game.

Li Nan's record is so poor that he can get the best of the month, I still have to thank James.

.

In February, as the All-Star Game approached, the NBA officially announced the results of the All-Star Game voting and the list of All-Star players.

East and West All-Star starters:

Li Nan became the all-star vote king for the first time, with 2806060 votes
