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

Chapter 250
Kobe once again led the team to No. 60 in the Western Conference this season. Although he failed to win [-]+ games, considering that there were no good helpers in the early stage, Odom was gods and ghosts, Bynum was on and off, and everyone else was penniless. Saul came here around the time of the All-Star Game and only played in the latter half of the game.

Compared with the other two popular players, Paul has West, and his record and matchup are not as good. Howard has Lewis, Turkoglu, and Lee Chengming. Compared with the inside, the league still prefers the outside attack. player of.

This was the case before, but it still caused quite a bit of controversy after it came out. After all, when it comes to personal performance, Paul and Howard are obvious to all this season, and the team's record has improved a lot, especially the Magic team. The direct jump to the first place in the league is still a historical record of 66 wins.

So a saying is naturally rampant, that is, Kobe's MVP is more like compensation for him.

Although Kobe won the most first votes, there seems to be no suspense in the result, but it does not hinder the criticism from the outside world, especially the two competitors, Paul and Howard, have both received the media's attention.

One is the No. 04 pick in 05, and the other is the No. [-] pick in [-]. Howard just finished his rookie contract extension last year, and Paul is still in his rookie contract. , Leading the team results are obvious to all.

MVP is yet another award that could very well be missed, and no matter what they think of Kobe, it's impossible not to think nothing of it.

It's just that it's hard to say too much in front of the media.

Paul only said "respect everyone's vote". In fact, the implication is that he respects but does not understand or approve. He certainly thinks he is more suitable. Otherwise, he would have nothing to say about losing to Howard. After all, the record of the Magic is indeed too good. It's okay to talk about the record.

If the Celtics do not have an MVP favorite, it is because there is no particularly outstanding stat in the team, then Howard does not have this problem. He has scored 20+20 many times in the regular season, and even 30+20, 40+15 With the ancient data, even if those celebrities criticize him as a blue-collar, his performance is real.

And Howard is the leader in rebounds, he is the leader in assists and steals, what kind of king are you compared to this season, how can you be sure that you are better than others?
It's just that he is the best in the team, but he can't convince the crowd.

As for Howard, his attitude was much clearer. He said, "I think I also deserve this award, maybe many people don't know me yet."

In any case, the results will not change, Bryant will also receive the MVP trophy at Staples.

This time, the game between the Jazz and the Lakers started first. It seemed that they were stimulated by Kobe's winning the award. The Jazz's anti-offenders still caused some trouble for the Lakers. They even had to overtake the score in the fourth quarter.

But the Lakers still had the last laugh relying on their strength. Kobe scored another 30+, which seemed to be a response to the outside controversy.

But the key to the Lakers' victory in this game is actually the inside line. They not only restricted the opponent, but also played very well. Both Gasol and Odom scored 20+. Relying on the frequent sprints of Gasol and Kobe, the Jazz Getting into foul trouble, he also lost hope of finally catching up with the score at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

And the stars are well brought, and the role players are easy to play. This time the Lakers have another role player stand up. The old fish Fisher also scored 20+, and the shooting efficiency is amazing.

In the end, the Jazz lost again at Staples, and the Lakers led 2:0.

The second game between the Magic and the Cavaliers was almost exactly the same as the previous game. The difference was that the Cavaliers gave up the flank attack on Li Chengming and tried to defend alone.

As a result, Li Chengming exploded, and he almost killed them all by himself.

This time Li Chengming only played 31 minutes, made 20 of 15 shots, including three three-pointers, 10 of 8 free throws, and scored 41 points. This is the first 40+ points in the playoffs, and he is also the first rookie this year 40+ in the playoffs, and the youngest player with 40+ in the playoffs.

This battle also allowed Li Chengming to steal everyone's glory at once, whether it was Kobe who scored 30+ in two games, James who recovered and scored 25 points on the opposite side, or the same team who scored 15 points and 24 rebounds Howard with 7 blocks.

Just like the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, the Magic also relied on the inside to win, and unlike the Jazz's inside, they could resist twice at least. This time, the Cavaliers' inside was completely broken.

Wallace made six fouls with more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Big Z was also troubled by fouls. He played only 26 minutes. …

In fact, after Li Chengming came on the court in the first quarter, he found that the opponent's defensive strategy had begun, and he began to score wildly.

No one in the Cavaliers can match him in the low post. Single defense is tantamount to letting him go, it depends on his own state.

And obviously, after the last game, Li Chengming found the feeling. Except for the lack of physical strength due to the short rest time, the whole person feels good.

In this case, she was naturally unparalleled and opened the point difference to double digits within 3 minutes.

In the second quarter, James came up and continued to chase points through breakthroughs. The Cavaliers also recovered from the outside line, but they were still 13 points behind and entered the second half.

In the third quarter, Van Gundy did the same. As a result, Li Chengming played the entire quarter, scoring 20+ points alone, and the Cavaliers completely collapsed.

James took more shots this time, 24 of 7, and 4 of 0 three-pointers. The difference is that he made more free throws, 15 of 11.

Although Turkoglu and Li Chengming can withstand the impact of James, besides his strength, he actually has speed. When he starts to make a decisive breakthrough, if he fails to keep up with the first attack, Li Chengming and the others will easily fall into a passive position. Rhythm, and then fouled due to physical contact in the entanglement.

Today the referee is also more face-saving. If James wants to foul, he really gives it.

During the intermission, Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with Li Chengming and the others because they fouled and fouled, but they were too gentle, so they should be more fierce, not the kind of fierceness that would hurt James, but a head-on confrontation. I don't believe that Li Chengming's physique can't beat James.

Of course, this scale is not easy to grasp. With the winning chance in hand, Li Chengming and the others don't want to go too far, and Van Gundy will not force it, and it would be bad if the referee accidentally caught it and judged it as malicious.

Now the situation of the Magic team is good, there is no need to do such a thing that is not necessarily beneficial.

In addition to putting more pressure on the Cavaliers and James in this game-after all, they are now two games behind by a big score, and they must compete for victory after returning to the home court, which puts Li Chengming on the cusp.

For now, of course, it's positive.

However, Li Chengming has long known the virtues of these media, and he will not be affected because they step on him, nor will he be flattered because they praise him.

The media are all fools, they fall with the direction of the wind. If he performed well this time, he will be blown to death. If he does not perform well in the end, he may be given the nickname of "the god of war with the wind and stealth against the wind".

But if you play well, you should enjoy yourself in time. In the locker room, Li Chengming was spoiled by his teammates' water fights. After taking a shower, he had to face the media's guns and short guns. Almost all of them were positive problems.

After all, the media can only fight against the wind, and tonight must be holding Li Chengming.

And the good news after the game also came along. First, a commercial cooperation that was still in the process of being finalized was directly finalized because of Li Chengming's performance in this game and the post-match impression he brought.

At the same time, media invitations have also increased.

Not to mention the constant stream of business invitations in China, because Li Chengming is determined to join the national team, and he will definitely return to China after the NBA game is over, and he will stay in China during the offseason. The schedule is already full ahead of time, and those that are now even have to be scheduled until next year.

This is not all about this game, it is Li Chengming's accumulation of a season, and it is destined to have such a sudden explosion under the explosion of the playoffs.
