NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 117 Five-game winning streak

After returning to Portland, the Blazers waited for work, followed by a wonderful three-game home game, and the opponents were only underdogs such as the Kings, Sonics and Heat.

Li Zheng rejected McMillan's proposal to take a break. Jordan said that there are many fans who have saved money for a long time to watch his games, so he can't let these people down. Li Zheng also doesn't want to let the Portland fans down. What needs to be done is a real Portland hero, not a hypocritical honor harvester.

Li Zheng once again advanced one place on the MVP list, surpassing James and came to second. The media exclaimed that Li Zheng has a great possibility of achieving the miracle of winning the regular season MVP in his rookie season. No player has accomplished this miracle since the two ancient mythical beasts of Sonseld, and Li Zhengzheng is walking on a bright road.

Witnessed by the home fans, Li Zheng also won the two awards of Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month. December is a harvest time for Li Zheng, whether it is on-field performance, off-court attention, or team record. Incomparably, the fans found that the strongest rookie in history and the number one combat power in history that the media often talk about are gradually becoming a reality.

Kevin Martin of the Kings is very good at touching porcelain. His exaggerated physical performance always wins the sympathy of the referee, but facing Li Zheng, he found that his tried-and-tested Bailing style of touching porcelain was completely useless. Li Zheng almost every time Every time, he waited until he made a shot before blocking the shot from a distance. The perverted bullet speed and extreme bounce made Li Zheng do whatever he wanted. What was even more frightening was Li Zheng's dynamic vision and reflex nerves. It was clearly visible in his eyes that Kevin Martin had encountered an absolute natural enemy.

In the end, Li Zheng's backhand defense against Martin became a classic scene. All the fans worshiped Portland's new king. People knew that Portland would be revived, and they also knew that the Trail Blazers would be on the road to a strong team with Li Zheng. Everyone did not expect this moment to come so quickly.

102-84。开拓者轻取国王，场均23分的新型得分手凯文马丁在李正的死亡缠绕下只得到了7分，其中还有2个罚球，而进攻端李正在阿泰斯特的防守下高效砍下28分。

Artest is the most well-known stabbing head in the league. Before the start of the game, he boasted that he would teach Li Zheng a lesson. However, after Li Zheng hit consecutive shots on the head during the game, he elbowed Li Zheng continuously like breaking the defense. The speed of light left after eating two Ts, and then lost Artest, a defensive champion and a player who could contribute 20 points on the offensive end, the Kings gradually fell into defeat.

After the game, Artest strongly criticized the penalty of this game. He also said that Li Zheng's toughness was pretended. revenge back.

Li Zheng was too lazy to deal with this manic guy. Artest did not shy away from referring to the referee and elbowed Li Zheng in turn. Although Li Zheng was not in pain, the referee really found it hard to bear this kind of provocative behavior. The reason for this was attributed to the preferential treatment of Li Zheng by the referee, and Li Zheng himself had nothing to say.

With the defection of No.1 Barkley in the anti-Lee army, the current public opinion environment for Li Zheng can be said to be smooth. At present, Li Zheng has shown extremely strong dominance in terms of statistics and team performance, ranking No. [-] in the scoring list [-]. Second in assists, first in steals, and seventh in blocks. The gaming company has adjusted the odds for Li Zheng to win the MVP, surpassing Yao Ming and James, and becoming the top three MVP candidates with the lowest odds.

The Blazers won three consecutive victories without bloodshed. The Spurs ranked first in the West with 21 wins and 2 losses. The Blazers followed closely with 20 wins and 3 losses in the second place in the West. .

The New Orleans Hornets are an extremely powerful competitor in the West. The pick-and-rolls of Chris Paul and David West, who are gradually reaching the peak, are almost unsolvable. Armor can shoot suddenly, and Tyson Chandler guards the inside. This Hornets team The team is strong, the players perform their duties, and they are closely united by Byron Scott.

Especially the team leader Chris Paul, whose mature style of play and strong overall view allow him to help the team in various senses. He has greatly improved the level of other players and demonstrated Nash's organizational skills. Except for being a little embarrassed when he met Li Zheng, he didn't suffer any losses when he met any player, which is why he can be ranked fourth in the MVP list.

This year's West is extremely wild. Although the Trail Blazers squeezed into the second place in the West, the current ranking does not count at all. Now the gap between the top five teams in the West is extremely small. If the Blazers lose a game, they will be eliminated. Squeeze to fourth in the West, and lose two games and fall to sixth in the West. The teams in the West seem to have completely given up on being bad, and they are all pursuing victory at full speed.

Some experts predict that the threshold for the Western Conference to enter the playoffs this year is very likely to reach an astonishing 50 wins. The powerful teams in the Western Conference not only enter the state ahead of schedule in terms of team strength and game attitude, but many teams are brewing super deals. The Hornets The , Suns, and Spurs all seem to be pursuing suitable players in the free market and trade market.

The Hornets are pursuing the Clippers' super substitute Corey Maggette, who averages 17 points per game and has a very impactful style of play. The Hornets hope that he can make up for Paul's offensive pressure, so that Paul can devote more energy to organizing the team Offensively.

The Suns are said to be planning a super deal. According to reports, the target of the deal is most likely to be the super center Shaquille O'Neal of the Heat. Now the West is a nightmare for all insiders. Little Shark Bynum, Al Jefferson, Noah With Wizki, Duncan and Yao Ming, teams without outstanding insiders can almost announce their farewell to the second round of the playoffs in advance.

The Sun's idea of ​​getting O'Neal to deal with Yao Ming and Duncan is obvious, but the Heat's wild asking price seems to have stalled the deal. The Heat Lions asked for Stoudemire, but how could the Sun put a player who averaged 34.5+9.5 per game and was young? What about the super insider who traded for the Sharks in Nishishan?
After Bowen retired, the Spurs hoped to find a player who could take on the responsibility of perimeter defense. The Rockets' Prince and Battier, and the Suns' La Gabel were their goals, but now the western teams are not willing to trade with each other. It is sensitive, so most transactions are still in the rumor stage, and the big deal that can really shake the league has not really happened yet.

The competitive environment in the Eastern Conference is relatively good. The Heat are focused on playing poorly after Wade’s injury. The Charlotte Bobcats are also waiting for a new savior after a failed draft. The Knicks, Bucks, Bulls, the teams that can play in the Eastern Conference There are not many teams, the Celtics are the best, followed by the Magic, the Cavaliers are third, and the Pistons are fourth. Compared with the purgatory competition environment in the West, the East is heaven.

After the Blazers took the Sonics and the Heat lightly, they won five consecutive victories.The team is thriving. Bill Simmons broke the news from the ESPN column. The news that the Blazers management was planning to trade Zach Randolph for Paul Gasol instantly ignited the media, and then the news that Randolph suspected of refusing to play for the Blazers It is even more suspicious that this promising team is about to collapse.
