After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 102 Ten consecutive victories and All-Star voting

"The Magic team has won ten consecutive victories, and he is the biggest contributor?"

"The Orlando Magic have won ten consecutive victories and continue to occupy the first place in the league!"

"Who can stop it? No. [-] center + best rookie, a new inside combination?"

"Li Chengming, another Chinese superstar is rising!"

After the game, the news of the Magic's victory became known through social media. Although the game itself did not receive much attention, it was only broadcast live on local TV stations in Orlando and at a certain time on TNT, but because The shock brought by the first ten-game winning streak this season still made headlines.

(I made a mistake before. At this time, there is no team with ten consecutive victories. Please correct it here)

The two teams that were expected to achieve ten consecutive victories before, one is the Celtics and the other is the Silver and Gray Spurs.

However, both teams failed after their first eight consecutive victories, while the Magic had won four and five consecutive victories before, but this time it came to ten consecutive victories, which is a completely different concept.

At present, because the Magic have played 3 more games, with a performance of 20 wins and 3 losses, they beat the Boston Celtics with 18 wins and 2 losses, and the San Antonio Spurs with 18 wins and 3 losses. They continue to rank first in the Eastern Conference and the league. on the throne.

Especially in the recent period, several games have reached the final stage one after another, but they can rely on the performance of Li Chengming and others to overwhelm their opponents and win at critical moments, which also shows their resilience.

Generally speaking, when looking at the strength of a team, the record is a good measure, but after all, the regular season is a regular season, and there are also teams that have the kind of regular season dragons and playoff bugs, so the spirit shown in this process Appearance is also important.

Obviously, there have been some changes from the lineup expected before the start of the season, especially the Magic team that has joined the X factor of Li Chengming. It has both the abuse attributes of a strong team and the pressure resistance and resilience of a championship team. .

Although the outside world is still not very optimistic about them, thinking that the defending champion Spurs and the Celtics who formed the "old Big Three" are the first championship group, but they still put them in a position that is only one level away from the total. The stage of the finals proved that the Pistons and Cavaliers are almost the same.

Of course, the season has only reached more than a quarter of the schedule. This summer, many teams have undergone lineup transformation. Some teams may have experienced the pain of running-in at the beginning, and they can directly soar into the sky in the second half. , There are also teams that may rush too hard at the beginning, and then plummet.

How far the Magic can go depends on whether they can sustain the long season and the core players continue to grow.

In addition to the game itself, other things are going on. After the game against the Bucks, the results of the first stage of the NBA All-Star voting have also come out.

Garnett ranked first in the league with 735664 votes, followed by Howard (626487), James (596468) and Kobe (569302).

At the same time, the three Chinese players from Huaguo are all on the voting list. Dayao is naturally the undisputed number one in the western center position, and is ranked eighth in the total votes with nearly 44 votes.

In fact, this is still under the circumstances that the NBA officials have imposed restrictions on domestic fans. After all, Dayao won the All-Star vote with the support of domestic fans, which was naturally unacceptable to NBA executives.

However, Tian Tianyi and Li Chengming did not enter the league's announced list for the main game. Fans could only rely on their handwritten names to support him. Even so, the two still entered the top five forwards in the Eastern Conference. Li Chengming It even beat Bosh to be in third place for the time being.

At the same time, Li Chengming is also the first vote among the rookies in this year, with a total of about 13 votes, followed by Durant (113314), Scola (101981) and Space Yi (97094). .

After the votes came out, most of the controversy was not big. Although Garnett's statistics did not explode this season, the record of the Celtics has improved significantly. He has contributed a lot to his leap from outside the playoffs to becoming the league's number one record.

Garnett was originally very popular, but the accumulation has completely exploded now.

Compared with the down-to-earth Duncan and the non-native Nowitzki, among the three power forwards today, the media in the United States are obviously more pursuing the offensive and defensive all-round type like Garnett.

Not to mention Howard, another local super center, everyone expects him to become the second O'Neal, and his performance so far has not disappointed.

Even free throws are exactly the same as O'Neal, um...

Originally, his popularity was comparable to that of James, but because of Li Chengming's relationship and the addition of domestic fans, he naturally improved to a higher level.

As for Li Chengming, the controversy from the outside world is not that big, because Li Chengming's performance, especially the amazing performance in the last few games, has indeed exceeded many people's expectations, and this kind of counterattack routine is also the media chasing the heat. their favourite.

Fans are also very interested in how a "foreigner" like Li Chengming came to the United States to pursue his dream, which in itself is a huge traffic.

In this case, the media is even eager to blow Li Chengming to the sky, as long as the fans love to watch it.

Anyway, no matter what he did, he couldn't shake Howard's position as the leader of the team, and of course they were happy to see this kind of foreigner playing support.

As for Durant, there are still so many people over his head, and the media don't have much resources to praise him. What's more, compared to Li Chengming, his advantage of unlimited shooting power is still there.

When the second half of the season doesn't care about winning or losing, he should also get used to the rhythm of NBA games, and his performance will gradually improve.

During this period of time, it was precisely because the rest of the Magic team did not perform well. If Lewis and others recovered a bit, Li Chengming's possession of the ball would definitely drop.

And as long as the ball and shots are insufficient, no matter how efficient he is, it is impossible to average 20+ per game, so it is impossible to compete with Durant for the best rookie.

According to the current situation, having two 20+ stars in the same team is already great. Howard must be counted as one, Lewis is also indispensable, and there is also Turkoglu, the core of the organization. Li Chengming wants to divide They're tough on the ball.

Of course, no matter how many people support him now, if Li Chengming falls, there will only be more people who will be trampled on.

Bosh's fans should have the biggest opinion on Li Chengming. As the "Dragon King" of the 03 generation, he is not as brilliant as James, Wade, and Anthony, but he is also the boss of the playoff team, not to mention that there is an entire Canadian team behind Toronto. As for the fans, it turned out that they "condescended" behind a rookie like Li Chengming.

However, Li Chengming's current leading votes are not large. This is also because the fan base is not very good. They may overtake them at some point in the future. Anyway, as long as they are not in the top two, it is unlikely to enter the main match, so the impact is actually not. very big.

On the contrary, it is Durant and the United Arab Emirates. There are more people who dispute them. Durant is because many people now think that he is a data brush, too many shots are not efficient, and he is a pure blacksmith.

Although the media and many fans are optimistic about his future development, at least for now he is not qualified enough.

What happens to him in the future is a matter for the future, but it is impossible to overdraw now, right?
Of course, it is also the same reason. The competition for forwards in the West is much greater than that in the East. Durant is only ranked seventh, which means that the fans are playing for fun, and it is impossible to enter the main game.

The most controversial is the United Arab Emirates. Even in China, many people question his qualifications.

The ghost knows what these people think. The All-Star itself is actually a voting project. Everyone can watch whoever they want to watch. The official wants to restrict domestic fans. Some people in China also think that it should be restricted, because " Disgrace".

Who is ashamed, do they have such a big face, do foreigners know them?

Pure nonsense...

After Dayao became the king of votes and then the official changed the rules, many people began to say that it was because Dayao's "not worthy of the name" that the officials were angered, and the NBA began to change the rules at will in order to formulate the rules.

Now it's Li Chengming's and Kong Tianyi's turn to do it again, are they going to force the official to change the rules again?

Li Chengming's performance is too hard, he can't move, people want to have a record, and the data is not bad. The rookie averaged more than 17 points in the first two games and had 40+ and 30+ performances in a row. He is a frequent savior. , at least in the third and fourth tactical positions in the team, and played an effect comparable to that of the second master.

As long as he is not a blind person, it is impossible to use Li Chengming as an example.

But Ah Lian is different. Who told him that his performance is not satisfactory, and he is on a bad team, and he can't even understand the statistics. With ready-made examples like Durant in front of him, he can't "learn"?
Many people in China who boast that he is better than Durant have their faces swollen. At this time, they have to turn around and black him.

The fans in the United States are even more dissatisfied, especially the Pierce fans who are temporarily suppressed by Space Yi. The Celtics, as a veteran giant in the United States, have always had a lot of fans.

In the past, the record was not good and the voice was not loud, but now they are going to compete for the championship. They have always been the number one before, but now they have played fewer games, otherwise they will still be the number one. Seeing that "it is incumbent on us to restore the glory of the Green Army" , can you tolerate such an outsider like a little green deer running wild?
We're the Hulk, yours is at best a green bit.

So Ah Lian did nothing, but invisibly provoked a large number of Boston sunspots.

Interestingly, after the voting results were announced, the Bucks happened to have a match with the Celtics, and they were crushed happily in Boston, and the UAE only scored 10 points.

In particular, Pierce on the opposite side seemed to be as energetic as he scored 32 points. The UAE, who had been reminded by the agent, was silently bearing the boos of the North Shore Garden fans.

Then in back-to-back home games against the Timberwolves, the UAE scored a personal high 22 points to beat Garnett's former team. (Garnett:?)
If I can't beat the Hulk, I can't beat your husky?
Well, it's not really a pain, because the score was only three points away in the end, and the Timberwolves almost completed the turnaround.

And the biggest hero is not the United Arab Emirates, but Michael Reed, who hit 7 three-pointers.

However, this outbreak still makes the country feel excited, and the Bucks fans will not say that the UAE is not as good as Li Chengming for the time being.

In the game played on the same day, the Magic played against the Grizzlies at home. Li Chengming played 19 of 11 shots in 4 minutes and scored only 13 points.
