: Soaring points through the air

Kobe once again led the team to the first place in the Western Conference this season. Although he failed to win 60+ games, considering that there was no good helper in the early stage, Odom was ghosting, Bynum was playing intermittently, and everyone else was broke.

Sol came here just before the All-Star Game and only played in less than half of the subsequent games.

Compared with the other two popular figures, Paul has West, whose record and matchups are not as good. Howard has Lewis, Turkoglu, and Li Chengming, and compared to the inside, the league still prefers to focus on outside offense.

players.

This was the case before, but it still caused a lot of controversy after it came out. After all, when it comes to personal performance, Paul and Howard have seen it all this season, and the team's record has also improved greatly, especially the Magic.

Directly jumping to the top of the league is still a historic record of 66 wins.

Therefore, a theory has naturally become popular, that is, Kobe's MVP is more like compensation for him.

Although Kobe received the most first-place votes and there seemed to be no suspense in the result, it did not prevent criticism from the outside world, especially the two competitors, Paul and Howard, who both received heavy attention from the media.

One of them was the No. 1 pick in 2004, and the other was the No. 4 pick in 2005. Howard just finished renewing his rookie contract last year, and Paul is still in the rookie contract period. Both of them are undoubtedly the new superstars of the younger generation. Their personal performance

, the results of leading the team are also obvious to all.

MVP is another award that is likely to be missed. No matter how they feel about Kobe, it is impossible for them to have no idea about it.

But it’s hard to say too much to the media.

Paul only said "respect everyone's vote." In fact, the implication is that he respects but does not understand or approve. Of course he feels that he is more suitable. Otherwise, he would have nothing to say if he loses to Howard. After all, the Magic's record is indeed much better.

It's okay to talk about results.

If the Green Army does not have MVP favorites, it is because no one in the team has particularly outstanding statistics, 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 ancient statistics, even if those celebrities continue to criticize him for being a blue-collar worker, his performance is genuine.

Moreover, Howard is the rebounding leader, he is the assists leader and steals leader. What kind of leader are you this season? Why do you think you are better than others?

Just being the best in the team can't convince everyone.

As for Howard, his attitude was much clearer, saying, "I think I am worthy of this award, maybe because many people don't know me yet," which was a hint that the judges did not care about football, but only about fame and qualifications.

No matter what, the result will not change, and Kobe will also win the MVP trophy at Staples.

The first game this time was between the Jazz and the Lakers. It seemed that they were stimulated by Kobe Bryant's award. The Jazz turned away, which still caused some trouble for the Lakers. In the fourth quarter, they even had to overtake the score.

But the Lakers still had the last laugh relying on their strength. Kobe Bryant scoring 30+ points again seemed to be a response to external controversy.

But the key to the Lakers' victory in this game actually lies in the inside. Not only did they restrict the opponent, but they also played very well. Gasol and Odom both scored 20+. Relying on the frequent sprints of Gasol and Kobe, the Jazz

He got into foul trouble and lost hope of catching up with the score at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

Moreover, if you lead the stars well, it is easy for the role players to perform well. Another role player for the Lakers stepped up this time. The veteran Fisher also scored 20+ and his shooting efficiency was 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 went in almost the same direction as the previous game. The difference was that the Cavaliers gave up their attack on Li Chengming and tried to defend alone.

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

Li Chengming only played 31 minutes in this game. He made 15 of 20 shots, including three three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points. This was his first 40+ points in the playoffs, and he was also the first among this rookie class.

40+ points in the first playoff game, and he is also the youngest player currently with 40+ points in the playoffs.

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

Howard with 7 blocks.

Just like the game between the Lakers and Jazz, the Magic relied on the inside to win this game. And unlike the Jazz, whose inside was able to resist a few times, the Cavaliers' inside was completely beaten this time.

Wallace committed six fouls with more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Big Z was also troubled by fouls. He played only 26 minutes. His performance as a substitute inside was even worse, allowing Li Chengming and Howard to do whatever they wanted...

…

In fact, after Li Chengming came on the court in the first quarter, he discovered that the opponent's defensive strategy was starting, and he started to score like crazy.

No one on the Cavaliers can match him in the low post. For him, single defense is like giving up. It all depends on his condition.

It is obvious that Li Chengming found his feeling after the last game. Except that his physical strength has not fully recovered due to the short rest period, he feels very good.

Under such circumstances, she naturally went to great lengths and opened the point difference to double digits within three minutes.

In the second quarter, James continued to chase points through breakthrough points. The Cavaliers also recovered from the outside, but still trailed by 13 points entering the second half.

In the third quarter, Van Gundy followed suit. As a result, Li Chengming played the entire quarter and scored 20+ points alone. The Cavaliers completely collapsed.

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

Although Turkoglu and Li Chengming can withstand James' impact, he actually has speed in addition to strength. When he starts to break through decisively, if they don't keep up with him in the first time, Li Chengming and the others can easily fall into passivity.

Rhythm, and then a foul was caused due to physical contact during the entanglement.

The referee was also more considerate today. When James wanted to foul, he actually gave it to him.

During the halftime break, Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with Li Chengming because they committed a foul, but they were too gentle. They should have been more ferocious, not the kind of ferocity that wanted James to be injured, but a head-on collision.

I don’t believe that Li Chengming’s body type can’t compete with James.

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

Now that the Magic are in a good situation, there is no need to do something that may not necessarily be beneficial to a bad character.

In addition to putting more pressure on the Cavaliers and James - after all, they are now two games behind and must fight for victory after returning to the home court - this game also puts Li Chengming at the forefront.

Of course, so far it's positive.

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

The media are just idiots who follow the direction of the wind. If he performs well this time, they will praise him hard. If he performs poorly in the end, he may be nicknamed "the god of war with the wind and the invisible head against the wind".

However, if you play well, you should be happy in time. Li Chengming was drowned in the locker room by his teammates in a water fight, and he had to face the media's long-term criticism after taking a shower. Almost all of them were positive problems.

After all, the media can only fight with favorable conditions, and they will definitely support Li Chengfa tonight.

The good news after the game also came with it. First, a business cooperation that was still in the process of being finalized was directly finalized due to Li Chengming's performance in this game and the post-game impression it brought.

At the same time, media invitations have also increased.

Not to mention that there has been an endless stream of business invitations in China, because Li Chengming has confirmed to join the national team and will definitely return to China when the NBA games are over. After that, he will probably stay in China during the offseason. During this period, Li Chengming’s

The schedule is already full in advance, and those that are too much now may even have to be scheduled until next year.

This is not all about this one game, but Li Chengming's accumulation over the course of a season. With the explosion in the playoffs, he is destined to have such a sudden outbreak.
