Chapter 210 The gold content of James MVP is not that high!
"It's so late and you can't get up, you little bastard, Lao Zhang, go and wake Xiao Yu up!"

"Oh, it's hard for him to take a rest, why are you so lenient?"

"I'm lenient? He still sleeps at [-] o'clock. He has been sleeping for several days. He doesn't sleep at night and can't get up during the day. If this goes on, he will be useless... Go, wake him up, I have this dumpling It will be finished immediately, let him eat while it's hot."

"All right, all right, you know how to love children..."

Zhang Haijun grumbled, stood up from the large and soft sofa, went to Zhang Yu's bedroom on the second floor, knocked on the door, and shouted in a rough and loud voice:
"Xiaoyu, get up and eat dumplings! It's almost noon, get up!"

Bang bang bang!
He waited for a while, but there was no movement inside the door, so he increased his strength and repeated it.

"Well... oh--I see, Dad, I'll get up in a while... um..." Zhang Yu's lazy voice came from inside the door.

"Hurry up, I'm going to order dumplings, don't you like to eat freshly cooked dumplings, you won't be able to eat them if you are late!" Zhang Haijun warned, turned and went downstairs.

Five minutes later, Zhang Yu, with her fluffy hair on her head and the neckline of her nightgown folded messily inwards, walked out of the bedroom sleepily. Her legs seemed to be stuck to the floor, swinging feebly, and the slippers under her feet came out. The sound of "clap clap".

Holding the stairs with one hand, he came to the first floor. Li Yinghua had just finished making dumplings and was tidying up the chopping board. Seeing Zhang Yu's appearance, he glared at him:
"Look at you, you don't stand up... Hurry up and brush your teeth, and eat dumplings later, pork and green onions, your favorite stuffing!"

Zhang Yu hadn't fully woken up from his sleep yet. Hearing this, he just nodded mechanically and walked to the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Zhang Yu, who had finished washing, stood in the open kitchen, staring longingly at the frying pan in front of him, which was filled with boiling water, and the snow-white and small dumplings were sinking and floating. Zhang Haijun was holding a large colander, skillfully Stir vigorously to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.

Zhang Yu took Li Yinghua and Zhang Haijun to Chinatown to buy this Chinese-style frying pan. Li Yinghua was not used to American-style frying pans, and Zhang Yu didn't have a frying pan at home, so he had to buy one.

Not only pots, Li Yinghua conducted a big sweep in Chinatown and bought a lot of kitchen utensils and seasonings with Chinese characteristics, so that Zhang Yu no longer has to worry about how to cook Chinese food.

After a while, the pot of dumplings was cooked. Zhang Haijun picked up some dumplings with a large colander, shook them up and down to filter the water, then lowered his hand and tilted his hand lightly, and the dumplings in the colander obediently fell to the side. plate.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Zhang Haijun glanced at Zhang Yu with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face were affected by the smile and became more fine. Then he went to scoop up the remaining dumplings in the pot.

"okay!"

Zhang Yu impatiently picked up the plate, took two steps in three steps, quickly came to the table, put down the plate, and sat down quickly.

There was already a small bowl poured with vinegar and a bowl of peeled garlic on the table. Zhang Yu picked up a garlic clove with his left hand, and picked up a slippery dumpling with chopsticks in his right hand. He took a small bite and put it in the vinegar bowl. After dipping it in, let the old Jin province vinegar bought from Chinatown dip into the stuffing, put the whole thing in your mouth, and then bite off a small half of the garlic clove.

"Huh, huh..."

The dumplings just out of the pan were very hot, so hot that Zhang Yu kept opening his mouth to breathe, and he had taken a course in sports nutrition at Butler University, so he knew that hot food was not good for the esophagus, but Zhang Yu hadn't eaten Li Yinghua for more than half a year He made dumplings, he didn't want to think about so many things today, he just wanted to have a hearty meal of dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions.

"Eat slowly, and no one will grab you. This child is already an adult, earning so much money, and he is still the same as when he was a child. He is not afraid of being burned..."

Beside Zhang Yu, Li Yinghua, who had just packed up the chopping board, rolling pin and gourd ladle, looked at him with a smile. He was wearing an apron with a lot of white flour on it. His eyes were full of kindness, but his mouth was not serious. Counting down.

"call……"

Not long after, Zhang Yu ate two and a half plates of dumplings, slumped on a chair, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The dumplings made by Li Yinghua had thin skins and big fillings, and he was so full that he didn't want to move at all.

"Are you full?" Li Yinghua put a dumpling in his mouth, took a bite of garlic, chewed slowly, and looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face:

"I'm full, Mom, the dumplings you made are still delicious. I've been to Qilu Dumpling Restaurant and Fengtian Dumpling Restaurant in Chinatown, and they are not as delicious as yours!"

"Then I'll wrap some leek stuffing tomorrow, and give you a different taste." Li Yinghua laughed.

"Then why are you in a hurry, I'll pack it in two days, and you can fry some meat for me tomorrow." Zhang Yu said strangely.

"Your mother and I will go back in two days, and we can't make dumplings for you anymore." Zhang Haijun added some vinegar to his small bowl, interjecting.

"Go back? Why go back? Aren't you two doing well here?" Zhang Yu asked in surprise.

Snapped.

Li Yinghua put down his chopsticks, dissatisfied:
"Okay? What's better? Except that the house is bigger, there is no place to play, there are not many people on the street, it is more deserted than our hometown village, and they are all foreigners. I can't understand what they are saying, plus Last time you played cards, you missed one of four! This is not the end, you don’t even have a cooking pot, and you have to drive to buy something. Take me and your dad for twenty miles to Chinatown, where the people Most of them speak Cantonese, and I can't understand... What's so good about the United States? I can't stay here for a day, so hurry up and buy a plane ticket. Your dad and I are going back instead of staying in this crappy place. Already!"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, picked up his phone and checked the time. Today is May 5th, and it has been 5 days since the Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs.

After the Warriors lost the game against the Suns in Game 6, Zhang Yu booked plane tickets for his parents, and Zhang Yu had obtained passports in China last summer. Li Yinghua and Zhang Haijun flew to San Francisco 4 days ago, their first visit to the United States.

In the past few days, Zhang Yu has enjoyed the leisurely life of reaching out for clothes and opening his mouth for meals. Although Tina served him before, Tina is not as good as Li Yinghua. Li Yinghua knows Zhang Yu's living habits. The feeling of home, eating well, sleeping soundly, even Li Yinghua's nagging and complaining about his living habits sounded so kind.

But now, Li Yinghua and Zhang Haijun are clearly unable to adapt to life in Oakland. The top mansions in the Glenview community are not attractive to them. Zhang Yu took them to several Michelin three-star restaurants, and they are not used to them either. For them, the past few days in the United States are boring and boring. They just want to go back to Qidu, their familiar hometown, and live a leisurely life.Zhang Yu smiled helplessly and said:
"Okay, Mom, then I'll book you two days later... no, three days later, let Xiao Sun take you back, okay?"

Xiao Sun is a 22-year-old college student hired by Zhang Yu from China, majoring in English. He accompanied Li Yinghua and Zhang Haijun to the United States. He lived in a hotel in San Francisco these days.

"Okay, what else do you want to eat, I'll make more for you these two days, so that you won't be greedy anymore." Li Yinghua nodded with satisfaction.

"After I've been busy for a while, I'm going back to China next month, and then you can make it for me." Zhang Yu said with a playful smile.

Li Yinghua scolded with a smile:

"Little brat, I'll take care of you wherever you go, right? Let your dad do it for you!"

……

After putting all the dumplings in a fresh-keeping bag, putting them in the refrigerator, and putting the dishes in the dishwasher, Zhang Yu sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.

Since the TV channels are all in English, even though there are paid Chinese channels for Chinese people, the content is biased towards European and American aesthetics. Li Yinghua and Zhang Haijun don't like to watch them, and they haven't watched much TV these days.

So when the TV was turned on, it was the ESPN channel. Bill Simmons, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and several commentators gathered around an oval table to discuss yesterday's game.

Bill Simmons said in his usual sharp tone:

"...How weak is the Eastern Conference? Last night, the Eagles lost to the Magic by a full 43 points!! Only three of them scored in double figures, namely Josh Smith's 14 points, Joe Johnson's 10 points, and Pachuli Ya’s 12 points! And this is a team ranked third in the East in the regular season! I dare say that if the Eagles are in the West, they will definitely not be able to beat the Warriors, and it’s not just the Eagles. Since 2000, there are only two Eastern Conference teams The team has won the championship, gentlemen, the west is strong and the east is weak, it has developed to a shocking level, we must face up to this problem!"

"So, Bill, what are you trying to say?" Jeff Van Gundy asked a little confused.

"Ahem, what I want to say is..." A sly light flashed in Bill Simmons' eyes, "James' MVP doesn't have that much gold content!"

"Oh Bill, are you kidding me?" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Mark Jackson also shook his head again and again:
"This is nonsense. The Cavaliers are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. James' statistics and efficiency are top-notch. His MVP is undisputed!"

Bill Simmons retorted:

"Really? If you put the Cavaliers in the West, can they still win so many wins? With all due respect, there are many teams in the East that don't even have the strength of the NBA. They should go to the Development League! Look at the No. 7 team in the West this year. The eighth place in the West is poor. The Lakers are only 6 games ahead of the Trail Blazers. They fought 20 games in the first round before deciding the winner. What about the East? The Cavaliers lead the Bulls by 11 games. The gap between the Lakers and the Hornets, and the Hornets rank No.[-] in the West! James’ dominance is fake, it’s a fact!”

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head:
"No, Bill, I don't think so..."

Zhang Yu watched several people besiege Bill Simmons, smiled, put down the remote control, and watched several commentators line up with interest.

On May 5, the league announced that James was elected as the MVP of the regular season. He won the award again and received the trophy at the University of Akron. His Cavaliers teammates also rushed to the scene to help out.

On April 4, the Cavaliers eliminated the Bulls with a big score of 27:4. On May 1, they defeated the Celtics 5:1 and made a good start in the Eastern Conference semifinals. When accepting the award, he released a bold statement:

"The MVP of the regular season is just the beginning, he will attack the MVP of the finals!"

In the next few days, the discussion about James' winning the MVP became a hot topic. The outside world generally believed that this was the beginning of James' harvest of honor. Cavaliers fans even discussed the possibility of James hitting the Grand Slam and winning MVP+fmvp+one defense+DPOY sex.

But there are also people who question James' MVP. The MVP should belong to Kobe. Although the Lakers' victory is not as good as that of the Cavaliers, the competition in the West is much fiercer than that in the East, and the Lakers' record is more valuable.

Of course, this kind of people only occupies a very small part, and Bill Simmons is the representative figure among them. Most people believe that, no matter from the perspective of record or statistics, James is the undisputed MVP of this season.

It's just that Bill Simmons is not just talking about it. The results of the first round of the playoffs are his most powerful argument.

东部除了老鹰队以4:3艰难战胜雄鹿队晋级半决赛外，其余三轮对决的强弱差距都非常明显，骑士队和凯尔特人队分别以4:1的比分绅士横扫了公牛队、热火队，魔术更是4:0横扫了黄蜂队，而且在东部半决赛G1中，以114:71狂胜了老鹰队43分！
It can be said that the top four in the Eastern Conference, except for the Eagles, are completely on two different dimensions from the rest of the Eastern Conference teams. The Magic, Celtics and Cavaliers are the only three competitive teams. The team is just a fat sheep for them to grab the win.

In the West, no round of series ended with a sweep or a gentleman sweep. Except for the Warriors' 2:4 loss to the Suns, the Lakers and the Trail Blazers fought in 6 games, and the final point difference in each game was within 6 points. G6 Lakers It was only a 3-point victory over the Blazers, and was almost dragged into the tiebreaker.

Roy averaged 6 points, 27.4 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game in 5.8 games, and hit key shots repeatedly. He played against Kobe and showed a very strong strength. The Tapes Center received applause and the respect of the Lakers fans.

The Jazz even successfully defeated the Nuggets 4:2 and successfully advanced to the next round.

Of course, the number of wins of the two teams is exactly the same, and the strength is between the two teams. It will not surprise anyone who wins or loses.

But the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 4:3 and completed the miracle of black seven, which is an amazing achievement.

Under Popovich's coaching, the Spurs have played smooth team basketball. The GDP combination has shown a tacit understanding like a husband and wife, and their cooperation is very pleasing to the eye.

Although Nowitzki was able to score 54.7 points with a 26.7% shooting rate in this round of the series. All scored more than 14 points, and Nowitzki had only Butler as a reliable scorer, and his interior defense was extremely weak. He eventually lost to the Spurs. Black seven background board.

For a time, Nowitzki and Ruandan almost completely equated, and the Mavericks ushered in their darkest moment.
