The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 424: Fall on the battlefield, a fast car

　　 Last season, the Lakers lost 2-4 to the Spurs and stopped in the Western Conference semifinals. Kobe was extremely sad and burst into tears in public.

　　 During the offseason, Kobe decided to have knee surgery, but he did not hold himself, and had a relationship with a 19-year-old white girl.

　　 The regular season is about to end, and this lawsuit has finally come to a conclusion.

　　 The allegations against Kobe were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

　　 Throughout the season, although he has a luxurious F4 lineup, Kobe is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable person.

　　 No matter where, what happens, or any interview, Kobe will wear the hat of a suspect and spend time in moral torture of public opinion and occasional court trials.

　　 But Kobe's heart is as hard as a rock, and this kind of thing will not knock Kobe down.

　　 He belongs to the typical more frustrated, more courageous type, hurried back to the court after each trial, followed by a venting slaughter, grabbing the highest score in the game.

　　 Even, Kobe has left the classic "rules of driving" this season.

　　 On March 17, the Lakers played against the Blazers at home, and Kobe played the role of savior. With the Lakers still 7 points behind in the last 1:40, Bryant hit 3 consecutive three-pointers, dragging the game into overtime.

　　 After entering overtime, Kobe scored 9 points in a row to help the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers and ended the previous seven-game losing streak!

　　 In the end, Kobe played 50 minutes and made 23 of 39 shots, including 8 of 12 three-pointers, scoring 65 points and leading the Lakers 116-111 to complete a shocking reversal.

　　 Kobe scored a personal season-high 65 points in the entire game, and also created a personal scoring record in a single game in the NBA this season.

　　 On March 19, still sitting at home, Kobe played 45 minutes and made 17 of 35 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and scored 50 points again.

　　 This time it was the three-headed monster of the Minnesota Timberwolves who fell under the knife of Kobe.

　　109-102, the Lakers won at home.

　　 Kobe broke the Lakers’ record for 44 years, becoming the first Lakers player to win 50+ in two consecutive games in 44 years.

　　 On March 23, at the Pyramid Stadium in Memphis, the Lakers opened the first stop of two consecutive Southwest Division tours.

　　 Kobe played 45 minutes and made 20 of 37 shots. Among them, he made 3 of 7 three-pointers. The audience swept 60 points and led the Lakers to a 121-119 victory over the Grizzlies.

　　 Kobe's 60 points made it another record, becoming the first player in Lakers history to hit 50+ in three consecutive games.

　　 At the same time, Kobe is also the first player in the NBA in 20 years to hit 50+ in three consecutive games after Michael Jordan from April 13 to 17, 1987.

　　 March 24th, New Orleans Arena.

　　 Kobe played 47 minutes, made 16 of 29 shots, made 16 free throws, and scored 50 points to help the Lakers defeat the Hornets 111-105.

　　 From March 17 to 24 in four consecutive games, Kobe scored all 50+.

　　 Throughout the history of the NBA, only two players can score 50+ in 4 consecutive games.

　　 One is Kobe, and the other is Wilt Chamberlain.

　　 Chamberlain scored 50+ in 7 consecutive games in the 1961-62 season.

　　 Kobe's performance not only recaptures the hearts of the fans, but also allows Vanessa to try to help her husband through the lawsuit.

　　 As the saying goes, behind every successful man, there is a smart woman.

　　 Of course, there is a price to make a woman rational.

　　 Kobe bought a diamond ring worth 4 million dollars to Vanessa.

　　Originally, as the trial progressed, Vanessa's forgiveness, and the team's record recovery, everything was developing in a good direction.

　　 But at this time, Kobe did a mysterious operation.

　　 When he summed up his experience and lessons in the face of the media, he also involved his teammate O'Neal.

　　 He said that O'Neill can always deal with men's and women's affairs so that the antelope horns will not show signs, and will use banknotes to seal women's mouths. This cost is no less than 1 million US dollars.

　　 O'Neal was furious at hearing.

　　 This boy is all in dirty water, and he wants to pour some on himself, which makes it clear that he can’t get along with him.

　　 There was originally a gap between the two, and the trouble was even more incompatible. The OK group was already at risk of being knocked out.

　　 In addition, Payton has always been unable to integrate into the triangle offense, and Malone has been invaded by injuries. Although F4 is prosperous on the surface, it has actually existed in name only.

　　......

　　 The Dallas Mavericks achieved the best record in team history of 62 wins and 20 losses in the 02-03 season and reached the Western Conference Finals in one fell swoop.

　　 Under the leadership of Nowitzki, Finley, and Nash's troika, the Mavericks played well, but unfortunately, they became the downed party again in the battle of the bulls and horses.

　　 fell at the feet of the Kings and Spurs for two consecutive years, making Cuban, the most avid boss of the NBA, very annoyed.

　　 So, in the summer of 2003, Cuban waved his banknotes and started making waves in the transfer market.

　　 In a trade involving 8 people, the Mavericks used Van Exel as the main bargaining chip, and the trade came to Jamison. In the season before coming to the Mavericks, Jamison averaged 22.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.

　　 Jamison can play the 3rd and 4th positions, and he can play the role of attacking weapon in the Mavericks at any time, and it can also give Nowitzki more time to rest.

　　 The red-eyed Cuban has lost his mind.

　　 With the front line already reinforced, he brought Antoine Walker, one of the Boston Gemini stars, to Dallas.

　　 This boy is 2.08 meters tall and has a strong stature. He can obviously get a lot of space on the inside, but he prefers three-pointers and is obsessed with it.

　　Compared with Jamison, Walker also has no fixed position, and he constantly wanders around the 3rd and 4th positions. However, Walker has a more comprehensive style of play and is said to be able to play from the first position to the fifth position.

　　 The Mavericks used Lavrenz as the main bargaining chip and traded to Walker.

　　 In the season before joining the Mavericks, Walker averaged 20.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.

　　 These two trades allowed the Mavericks to retain the core of the Troika last season while trading in two All-Star players.

　　 Five-star Dallas made Cuban direct his goal to the championship.

　　 But as the season progressed, this seemingly firepowered lineup performed somewhat unsatisfactory.

　　 Nowitzki, Walker, and Jamison are all power forwards and their positions overlap.

When the five stars are playing at the same time, Nowitzki can only be topped as a center, and Nowitz is basically an outside-based power forward. Now there is a Walker who prefers to be outside. In addition, Jamison is also dominated by outside shooting, and the Mavericks' defects in inside defense are exposed.

　　 In order to maintain the balance of the lineup, the team coach Sr. Nelson had to put Jamison on the bench as the sixth man.

　　 The Mavericks, who were originally aiming to win, had a far lower winning percentage at the end of the regular season than the previous season.

　　 Five stars in a row, not worthy of the name.

　　......

　　 The Timberwolves are the most successful combination in the league this season.

　　 The Timberwolves are Garnett’s team, and Garnett is the symbol of the Timberwolves.

　　 In cold Minnesota, Garnett is a veritable wolf king **** milker.

　　 However, Garnett has a sorrow of seven in and seven out.

　　 Until the 02-03 season, they made the playoffs 7 times in a row, but were eliminated in the first round 7 times in a row.

　　 Seven in and seven out, the fast gunners have already handed in their guns to release the flood.

　　 Garnett is going to die too.

　　Although Garnett was carrying the league's highest billion-dollar contract at the time, if the Wolf King wants to change the court, most of the players are willing to take over.

　　 In order to keep Garnett, the Timberwolves went crazy during the crazy offseason.

　　 At the time, the general manager of the Timberwolves was NBA star McHale. He first used a deal involving four teams to bring Sprewell, one of the Knicks backcourt double shots, to his command.

　　 Putting aside personality and off-court factors, Sprewell is definitely the league's top scorer.

　　 In the season before joining the Timberwolves, he had scored 40+ three times and made 9 consecutive three-pointers against the Clippers, setting an NBA record.

　　 McHale was willing to take a gamble on Sprewell.

　　 Then, they set their sights on Kassel, one of the three musketeers of the Bucks. In the previous season, Kassel reached the peak of his career, averaging 19 points and 8 assists per game.

　　 Because Ray Allen and Payton switched clubs, Cassel had to start at the same time as Payton, partnering with a combination of two point guards.

　　 At the end of the season, Payton's contract expired and the Bucks signaled that Payton would be renewed early, which gave Cassel the idea of leaving.

　　 The Timberwolves seized the opportunity and used Joe Smith as the main bargaining chip to bring Cassel to Minnesota.

　　 In this way, the three-headed monster of the Timberwolves was officially born.

　　With the strong small forward Szebiak, the Timberwolves have built a team with the strength to win the championship.

　　 Unlike Dallas, which puts together the stars, the Timberwolves’ stars perform their duties and have a balanced lineup.

　　 In 30 games before and after the All-Star Game, the Timberwolves, who successfully completed the break-in, had a record of 25 wins and 5 losses.

　　 Approaching the end of the regular season, the Timberwolves even ranked first in the Western Conference.

　　 If there are no accidents, they will achieve the best record in history since the establishment of the team.

　　The prospect of the new Timberwolves in the playoffs has made Minnesota fans full of expectations.

　　 They also seem to be the most promising team in the Western Conference to reach the Finals.

　　......

　　 In addition to the three arms race teams that have attracted much attention this season, the Spurs and the Kings cannot be ignored.

The Spurs, which has always been stable, did not make major lineup changes. They just sent away Stephen Jackson, who was not stable in performance, and corrected Manu Ginobili. The 03-04 season also officially became the first year of the GDP combination. .

The Kings have driven high and low this season. They played very well at the beginning of the season. Peja Stojakovic even played MVP-level performance, but Chris Webb’s comeback broke the ball. The good chemistry that had already formed between the teams, losing streak at the end of the regular season, some lost their way.

　　 This situation occurred when the playoffs were approaching, and the Kings' playoff prospects were not very promising.

　　 In addition, the Rockets of Yao Ming and Francis are firmly ranked in the top eight in the Western Conference, and Yao Ming's first playoff tour seems to be set.

　　......

　　In the Eastern Conference, with Artest's joining and O'Neal's maturity, the Indiana Pacers will dismount the Nets, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive years, and become the Eastern Conference No.

　　The players in the Pacers have been running for many years. The veteran Reggie Miller is the team's pinnacle. The Pacers are listed as the most popular candidate for the Eastern Conference championship.

　　 The rise of the Pistons is amazing.

　　 Joe Dumars personally traded, according to the "bad boy army" model, step by step to create a new piston.

　　 Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince joined one after another. The "scrap" discarded by these other teams has become treasures under him.

　　 The arrival of coach Larry Brown and the arrival of "Roaring Heaven" Rasheed Wallace this season have complemented Detroit's final championship puzzle.

　　 They have made rapid progress this season, and their record is second only to the Pacers with tacit understanding and stable lineup.

　　......

　　 The New Jersey Nets did not get reinforcements after losing Shentong. They paid the price.

　　 was surpassed by the Pacers and Pistons one after another in the regular season, only ranked third in the East, and has been unable to catch up with the first two teams.

　　 Corey Kidders performed fairly well. The Nets under Kidd's control is still a very terrifying team, but it seems that there is something missing compared to when Shentong was in.

　　Passion and vitality?

　　 may also be a show.

　　 In short, the Nets want to beat the Pacers and Pistons in this season's playoffs, and they need to play beyond the regular season.

　　......

　　 There is also an X-factor team that cannot be ignored in the East.

　　 The Cleveland Cavaliers with two thighs, Shentong and James.

　　In the middle of the season, the Cavaliers once reached the second place in the Eastern Conference, but they lacked stamina.

　　The starting lineup of Big Z, Boozer, James, Shentong, and McGinnis has enough competitiveness in the East, but the bench is too bad.

　　 Except for Dajuan Wagner, Eric Williams and Jason Capono, the other players are all embarrassed.

　　 Tony Barty, who was originally expected by the team, has performed disappointingly this season.

　　 As long as the Cavaliers do not make mistakes in the last few games, they should be able to secure their fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Their opponent in the first round of the playoffs is most likely the Miami Heat with Wade and Odom.

　　......

　　 It is said that after completing optional tasks and obtaining the MVP of the All-Star Game, Shentong soon received the "Avril Lavigne's Special Reward".

　　 When the agreed Sunday comes.

　　 Shintong opened his eyes.

　　 "Avril Lavigne, when did you go to the nursing school for further studies?"

　　Avril Lavigne with a smile ~www.ltnovel.com~ walked catwalk to Shentong.

　　 "Shhh, let me check your body."

　　 "How is it? Do you have a fever?"

　　 "I have a very severe fever, 70°C."

　　 "What should I do?"

　　 "It doesn't matter, drink this, you can lower 1 degree."

　　 After speaking, Avril pulled off the shoulder strap.

　　 Shen Tong's breathing is a little short.

　　 "How can I reduce it by 1 degree?"
