NBA: James wants to team up with me

The head-on conflict between Kobe and Howard directly led to the failure of the G3 game between the Lakers and Spurs.

This is the gap between Howard, O'Neal and Paul.

The two of them will also have serious conflicts with Kobe because of the ball rights, but no matter how big the conflict is, in the playoffs, the two of them will choose to endure it for the sake of victory and wait until the end of the season to slowly resolve the problem.

But Howard can't do it. As a high school draft player, his mentality is not at the same level as Kobe and James.

Of course, everyone has time to grow up. Howard, who has gradually become a bench blue-collar center in the future, can choose to endure the humiliation of Davis, the younger brother with thick eyebrows, pointing at his nose. That is another matter.

Trailing by a big score of 3:0, although the series is not over yet, for the Lakers, the playoffs are actually over. After all, there has never been a team in NBA history that has achieved a comeback from a 0:3 deficit.

It's just that the disheartened Lakers couldn't hold on to their bottom line until the end. Two days later in G4 of the series, the Lakers lost the game cleanly at their home court, with a big score of 4:0, and were swept out by the Spurs.

The defending champions and the Super Big Three were swept out in the second round. This is definitely the big news in this year's playoffs.

No one could have imagined that the Lakers, who were at their peak, would end in such a tragic way.

In fact, for the Lakers, losing is no longer the most critical issue. The key is that the conflict between Kobe and Howard is now irreconcilable, and Paul has clearly shown his unwillingness to stay with the Lakers.

At the end of this season, both Howard and Paul's contracts will expire. The Lakers are likely to face the risk of losing two superstars at the same time. Moreover, the contracts will expire in vain, and they will not even have the opportunity to use them as trading chips in exchange for high-quality players. .

Even if the Lakers can free up a lot of salary space, it is completely impossible to find one or two stars like Howard and Paul in the free market.

Considering that Kobe is 35 years old and is basically at the end of his prime, the Lakers may have to enter the stage of tearing down and rebuilding in a few years.

After the Spurs and Bulls entered the conference finals one after another, the winner was slowly determined in another group of matches between the East and West.

Different from the clean and tidy crushing of these two teams, whether it is the confrontation between the Heat and the Celtics or the contest between the Thunder and the Nuggets, the battles are stalemate and very fierce.

Heat vs. Celtics, that is, the duel between James and Durant.

Durant, nicknamed Xiao Wang Chong, is now considered a strong opponent of James. Although on the defensive end, it is the former Bulls player Millsap who is responsible for guarding James, but on the offensive end, Durant Te never avoids James, he just fights hard.

Even if James has experience guarding against Wang Chong, he also has a headache against Durant.

And the Celtics don't just have Durant, they also have point guard Rajon Rondo and inside center Al Jefferson.

Even though Jefferson is a low-key person and has been silent in the league. He will be nicknamed the ball-blind evaluator in the future, but his personal ability in his peak period is definitely not bad, and he is also a high-quality insider who can stably average 20+10 points per game.

What the Heat are most afraid of are players with strong inside skills. Although Al Jefferson is on the short side, only 2 meters tall, he weighs more than 08 kilograms, which is heavier than Gasol. It was so crowded that it was swaying here and there.

Durant was surrounded by a lot of good players, which made the Celtics almost fight with the Heat on the court. Both sides won two home victories in the first four games, and the score came to a 2:2 tie.

In the G5 Tianwangshan battle, at the home court of the Heat, Durant broke out strongly and scored 44 points. He suppressed James, who had a triple-double with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and helped the Celtics win Tianwangshan, 3:2. Be the first to win the match point.

Heat fans never dreamed that in the second round, the Heat were already cornered. They had not even met their biggest opponent, the Bulls.

In a desperate situation, the Heat's three giants all showed an amazing will to survive.

系列赛G6，热火116：98客场击败凯尔特人，这场比赛里詹姆斯轰下36分8篮板14助攻，韦德31分5篮板4助攻4抢断，就连波什也在艾尔.杰弗森的压制下，打出22分7篮板的表现。

The three giants combined for 89 points and managed to win the game with half of their feet on the edge of the cliff, evening the score to 3:3.

The tiebreaker between the two sides was held on May 5 at the Heat's home court in Miami.

Before this life-and-death battle begins, the league announced the final results of the season awards.

As expected, the regular season MVP was finally won by James, which allowed James to achieve two consecutive regular season MVPs. Although there is still a big gap with Wang Chong's three consecutive MVPs, he finally has two MVPs. At least James can now be a little on par with Nash in terms of personal honor and historical status.

This time James was selected as the regular season MVP, the controversy was not as big as last year. After all, the gap with his biggest competitor Wang Chong is much smaller this season than last year.

In terms of team record, the Heat only won 4 fewer games than the Bulls this season, and James also led the team to a 27-game winning streak. The only thing that is unjustifiable is that the Heat were beaten 4:0 by the Bulls during the regular season, making it difficult to win. .

In terms of personal data, James averaged 28+8+8 per game this season. Although he is still at a disadvantage compared to Wang Chong, at least the gap is not big.

For the American media, it is really not easy for the league to find an American player who is close to Wang Chong at all levels. Even if it is a hard praise, James must be praised.

After all, the full name of NBA is the American Professional Basketball League, not the World Professional Basketball League. Both the league and the media are more inclined to side with local American players.

Wang Chong, who had already expected this, was not too disappointed or angry. He had already seen clearly.

And there is one thing to say, aesthetic fatigue is a real thing in the NBA. Wang Chong's four regular season MVPs in the past have almost formed a monopoly on the MVP award, unless he can still do better in terms of personal performance or team record. There must be some historic breakthrough, otherwise it would not be so easy to continue to win the MVP.

This is clear when referring to Jordan.

In Michael Jordan's 15-year career, he won 10 scoring titles and led his team to win 6 NBA championships. However, he only had 5 regular season MVP awards, only one more MVP trophy than the current Wang Chong.

Again, Wang Chong is still young, and there are many opportunities in the future. Not every season, the league can find a player like James whose personal data and team record are close to Wang Chong.

The consecutive regular season MVPs greatly increased James' confidence. He performed well in the subsequent tiebreaker and led the Heat to defeat the Celtics with a thrilling score of 4:3.

The Heat played really hard in this series.

In 7 games, Durant averaged 34 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, the highest score of the two teams.

James took full advantage of his versatility, averaging 29.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game, a near triple-double.

However, although they were lucky enough to win the tiebreaker, there was a layer of gloom in the hearts of Miami fans.

Durant, nicknamed Xiao Wang Chong, did not expect to become a serious problem. This Celtics team is not inferior to the Heat at all. They were lucky enough to win this season, but what about next year? What next? The Celtics' lineup is young. Except for Pierce, they are all stars between the ages of 25 and 28. If they continue to grow their current lineup, the Heat will one day be surpassed by the young Green Army.

Of course, what is even more desperate is that there is a 4:0 Chicago Bulls waiting next door, which is a more terrifying opponent than the Celtics.

Wang Chong's threat is much greater than "Little Wang Chong".

Although he failed to win the fifth regular season MVP of his career, the league still compensated Wang Chong.

The Defensive Player of the Year DPOY in the 2012-13 season was won by Wang Chong.

This result seems a bit unexpected, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

The best defensive teams in the league this season are the Bulls, Heat, Pacers and Spurs.

Wang Chong is still more important than Gasol in the Bulls' defensive system. He completely took over and assumed Garnett's defensive work in the Bulls, and did a very good job, averaging 2+2 per game. The blocking and steals are the best proof.

This also allowed Wang Chong to get 28% of the votes in the voting for the best protective player, nearly 10 percentage points higher than James, who ranked second.

The Best Defensive Player Award is essentially a blue-collar award. Very few superstars in the top ten in history would be proud to win DPOY. The number one power forward in history is among the top defensive gates in league history. Tim Duncan has never won the Defensive Player of the Year Award once in his career.

But this does not prevent the fans from following and being proud.

The most typical example is Jordan, who won DPOY once in his career. Jordan fans will use it from time to time to brag about Jordan's dominance, which can both score and defend.

Wang Chong, the DPOY, actually has the same effect.

In the past, Wang Chong has always been known for his super scoring ability. Although his defense is not a defensive black hole, it is not too outstanding. The most common comment from the outside world is that Wang Chong has outstanding static talent, which makes him unnecessary on the defensive end. Spending too much effort can cause considerable defensive pressure on the opponent.

But over the years, Wang Chong's progress on the defensive end is obvious to all. This is actually very scary, because when a player has received all kinds of honors, he has firmly established himself as the number one player in the league but is still not satisfied and wants to continue to get stronger. , becomes more perfect.

Now, Wang Chong, who possesses the strongest spear, also possesses the strongest shield. Is there anyone in the alliance who is really his opponent?

In other season awards in the 2012-13 season, the Rookie of the Year was won by Damian Lillard as before. The rookie season of the much-anticipated No. pick Anthony Davis can only be said to be slightly disappointing. .

The best sixth man is still JR Smith.

Although he did not join the New York Knicks, he still showed strong offensive firepower and sharp attributes on the bench. In the regular season, he averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, making him undisputedly elected as the Best Sixth Man.

The Most Improved Player Award was awarded to the Pacers' Paul George. During the time when the team's core Danny Granger was reimbursed for the season, George quickly grew into the Pacers' new outside core. The Pacers can Ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference, George contributed a lot.

Of course, the importance of these awards is insignificant compared to MVP, DPOY and the upcoming Eastern and Western Conference finals, at least most fans don't care at all.

However, before the start of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, Wang Chong ushered in a very important event, which was even more important than the Eastern Conference Finals or even the championship.

Jessica Alba gave birth to a little princess to Wang Chong.

In fact, after entering May, Jessica officially entered the period of expectancy. It would not be surprising to suddenly give birth to a baby any day. This also made Wang Chong a little worried about her when playing away games. Even if she had two days of rest during the away games, she would have to take time off. Go back to Chicago.

The feeling of becoming a father for the first time in two lives is hard to describe, but when he looked at the pink and jade sculptures, it seemed that he had inherited the excellent genes of his mother Jessica, and would definitely become the daughter of a beautiful woman in the future. Wang Chong felt that he My heart is about to melt.

Wang Chong named his daughter Wang Kexin. The birth of little Kexin finally settled a big stone in Wang Chong's heart. From now on, he can go all out to face the Eastern Conference Finals and even the Finals without any worries.

On May 2013, 5, the Eastern Conference finals of the NBA playoffs were held as scheduled. The venue was the same as before, and it was still the home court of the Chicago Bulls, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls are sitting at home to meet the Miami Heat's Nth challenge, and the starting lineup is, as always, the Bulls' strongest lineup today.

Point guard: Stephen Curry.

Shooting guard: Danny Green.

Small Forward: Jimmy Butler.

Power forward: Wang Chong.

Center: Marc Gasol.

The Heat's starting lineup is also the team's strongest lineup currently.

Point guard Mario Chalmers.

Shooting guard Dwyane Wade.

Small forward LeBron James.

Power forward Sean Battier.

Center Chris Bosh.

Facing the Bulls, the biggest problems that the Heat need to solve will always be those two.

First, there is the issue of Bosh being at a disadvantage against Gasol inside.

Second, there is the issue of how to limit Wang Chong’s scoring.

Since the formation of the Heat's Big Three, these two problems have always been huge mountains in front of the Heat. They have never been able to overcome them. It's just that Wang Chong can't prevent them. The problem of inside losses was caused by Garnett before. After Garnett left, Gasol unexpectedly rose again. This resulted in the Heat's Big Three never breaking out in the Eastern Conference. It was difficult to even touch the floor of the Finals. (End of chapter)
