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

Chapter 251 Away Trouble
It is said that the playoffs are the real stage to test superstars. Many stars who performed well in the regular season were unable to perform in the playoffs and lead the victory.

For example, before Gasol went to the Lakers, he never won a playoff game, nor did he turn the tide. In addition, he is a white foreigner, so he will inevitably be labeled as "soft".

This may also be a hidden reason why Kobe was able to win the MVP. After all, Gasol's strength cannot be recognized, so he can only praise Kobe.

Li Chengming's performance in the first two games of the playoffs was actually mediocre, and because the team won both games, so the criticism against him was not that great. In addition, he is still a rookie after all, and the outside world still has a certain degree of tolerance .

If this is still the case in the third and fourth grades, then it is estimated that it will have to be criticized directly-of course, if it is really maintained, because "no progress" will inevitably be criticized.

It's just that Li Chengming scored another 30+ game soon, and his overall performance in the first round was not bad. The team is also second only to Howard and Turkoglu, and he is also worthy of his best rookie. name.

Unexpectedly, a king bomb was released in the second round. You must know that so far in the playoffs, there have been only five 40+ points in dozens of games before, and they were five players, Kobe, McGrady, Duncan, Paul Sh and Parker.

The highest was Kobe's 49 points in the second game against the Nuggets, with a shooting percentage of 67% and 10 assists. Combined with his efficiency, it is no exaggeration to say that he blew up the Nuggets with two guns.

Both Duncan and Bosh helped the team win with 40+15. In the sixth game against the Jazz, Tracy McGrady usually scored 40 points and 10 rebounds in a large double-double. Unfortunately, the team lost in the end. Still out.

As for Parker's 41 points, it also happened in the series against the Suns. In the third game, Parker scored 65 points and 41 assists with 12% shooting, and Duncan also scored 20+10 in the same game. When facing the Hornets of the youth army, did they pull it instead?

Among them, Bosh is the youngest, but as a representative of the 03 Platinum Generation, a two-time All-Star, and the leader of the Eastern Powerhouse Raptors, Bosh is also considered a famous star.

In contrast, a rookie like Li Chengming achieved such a performance, and it happened to be facing another Cavaliers led by James, a representative of the 03 generation. James even served as a good background board to set off Li Chengming.

At the same time, this actually made the outside world much less controversial about the MVP.

After all, Gasol is so "soft" and Li Chengming is so "hard". Is there any doubt as to who is the better helper, Kobe or Howard?
Even if Gasol performed well in the Lakers, there are reasons to say that after coming to the Lakers, he was driven by Kobe and changed.

Even if Howard is an indispensable defensive core of the Magic, his performance from the first round to now is basically the most stable in the team, and the media can also compare Li Chengming with him in offense, so of course this is incomparable.

In fact, it means that if you look pleasing to the eye, you are fine with everything, but if you don't like it, you are nothing.

The media is looking at the direction of the wind, and the direction of the wind is obviously led by the alliance. After all, the MVP has been selected, so you can't beat yourself in the face, and you have to find ways to make up for it.

好在是科比足够争气，这个季后赛他是目前为止30+最多的，而且差一分能50+、差2、3分能40+的机会他都放弃了。

He had already averaged 33.5+5.3+6.3 per game in the first round, and it seems to be the same trend in the second round.

If the Lakers can make it to the finals or even win the championship, and he can maintain this performance, then this season will definitely be a season of "spirituality" for Kobe.

And now more and more people feel that the next three MVP favorites may meet together. Kobe may face Paul in the Western Conference Finals first, and then face Howard in the Finals.

Of course, there are only two rounds in the second round so far, so many things are hard to say.

What if the old guys of the Spurs get back to their form and come back?

What if the Raptors regain their touch from the outside and go black to the end?

On the contrary, the Lakers and Magic, the outside world thinks that they are relatively stable, and there is still a high probability of reaching the conference finals.

In fact, in Li Chengming's view, Howard, Kobe, and Paul all have a reason to win this season's MVP - anyway, he can't win it himself, so it doesn't matter.

Howard's biggest advantage is a good record, but he focuses on defense and suffers from statistics. After all, rebounds can affect DPOY's choice, but they can't affect MVP.

He doesn't look like James, he can still have an all-around title, and he doesn't have many assists.

He can't compare to Li Chengming in this aspect. Li Chengming's data panel is very comprehensive, and he can often fill in any data. This also makes sometimes his performance not so good, and the data is passable.

And he may not take so many shots, but rarely when his hands feel cold, his shooting percentage is above 55%. Pull back, if the previous game is not good, the next game will definitely explode.

Of course, in this explosion, some people naturally worried that he would pull his hips in the next one, and he really "pushed his hips" in the end.

Due to the schedule, there was no game on the second day, and it took another day to reach the second round of G3.

First, in the other two games, the Celtics came to Canada, home of the Raptors, and lost another city.

The home whistle of this game can be said to be quite partial, which is somewhat unfavorable to the Celtics with a high defensive intensity. Garnett and Pierce have been in foul trouble one after another, which also makes it very difficult for Rivers to deploy personnel.

At this time, Ray Allen should have stood up, but his projection today is not in shape.

If it weren't for other players to stand up, the Celtics might not last until the fourth quarter.

However, after Garnett made five fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics' defense collapsed, and they were beaten 9:0, and the point difference was also widened to 20 points, completely losing the suspense of chasing points.

No one scored 20 points on the Celtics side. Although it is true that they are not doing their best defensively, it is true that they have problems offensively. It can only be defeated.

This is more or less the intention of the league to create suspense. After all, the Raptors are also the "only hope" of Canada, and it is also a market that the NBA values ​​very much.

The Raptors took a 2:1 lead again in the series, which was unexpected and reasonable.

When the Celtics lost their first home game, this was the foreseeable price.

Next, they need to fight their backs in the second away game. If they fall behind 1:3, they might be overturned by the Raptors.

On the other hand, the Spurs and the Hornets, the Spurs who came to the away game are actually fighting with their backs. They have a reason not to lose this game. After all, if they lose again, they will fall behind by 0:3, which is more dangerous than the Celtics. It is basically certain To ruin the series.

Popovich made a bold change on the spot and put Ginobili in the starting lineup. As a result, both Parker and Ginobili were 30+.

Duncan didn't take many shots, but he did all the dirty work, grabbing rebounds and blocking shots. His defense was also the key to allowing the Spurs to take the lead in the third quarter and contain the Hornets' counterattack in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

The GDP is strong, and the role players also performed well, so although the Hornets Paul and West performed equally well, the others did not play well, and they could not attack or defend, so they could only swallow This defeat.

It is crucial for the Spurs to win this away game. At least the momentum has come back a lot, and there is still room to play later.

Then it was the Magic's turn the next day, and they also had trouble on the road.
