Chapter 869 The rise of the Lakers and Durant's comeback!(1/2)

With all NBA regular season awards being awarded, the NBA in the 2008-2009 season officially bid farewell to the topic of the regular season and completely entered the topic of the playoffs.

However, after the SuperSonics eliminated the Spurs, Leafs, O'Neal and Kobe won the regular season MVP together, and the NBA started to stir up a new topic.

"With the elimination of the Spurs and the recognized strongest team unexpectedly leaving the NBA, an extremely interesting thing will happen in this magical season of the NBA. Now the NBA games have completely entered the rhythm of the playoffs.

But in the previous games, three players jointly won the All-Star MVP and regular season MVP this season. In other words, Yes, Kobe and O'Neal are likely to become the players who dominate this season by winning three MVPs this season!

"

"In Yes's career, he once won three MVPs last season with a dominant performance. In O'Neal's career, he also won three MVPs in the 99-00 season. Among the three, only Kobe did not.

This achievement has been achieved.”

"In the history of the NBA, a total of four players have achieved the achievement of three MVPs in a single season, including Jordan twice, Yes once, O'Neal once, and Willie Reed once. After this season, it is Kobe who becomes NBA history.

The fifth player to achieve three MVPs in a single season, is it Yes or is O'Neal the player to rival Jordan?"

"In the All-Star and All-Star games, yes, Kobe and O'Neal can share the MVP, but in the finals, there is really only one MVP!"

This topic that has suddenly aroused public opinion in the United States is very, very interesting.

After the Spurs, who were previously recognized as the favorites to win the championship, were eliminated, the remaining team was undoubtedly the strongest one.

But the sudden rise of public opinion in the United States never mentions James. Then I think of the topic that ESPN brought up before: Who is the cancer and who is the undercover?

It is very, very obvious what the direction of public opinion in the United States this time is aimed at.

For these media, whether it is Yes, O'Neal or Kobe, there is no problem for any of these three teams to win the championship, but the Heat will definitely not win the championship.

But the Heat are the strongest among all the remaining teams, so even if they don't want it, the Heat have the greatest chance of winning the championship.

If that's the case, let's target this pretentious team first.

If you can break the mentality of this team, that would naturally be the best, but it really doesn't work...

If it doesn't work, there's nothing they can do. They can't replace Yes, Kobe and O'Neal on their own, right?

When the NBA's major awards began to be presented, the first round of the NBA was over. At the same time, the second round of the NBA and the conference semifinals had already taken place.

The Mavericks' game against the SuperSonics on May 4 was already the latest game among the four groups of matchups in the second round.

Prior to this, the first of the other three games in the conference semifinals had already been played.

The first game of the second round of the conference semifinals was the Lakers' home game against the Nuggets. After the Spurs were eliminated, the Lakers and Nuggets automatically became the two biggest favorites. As for the Mavericks and SuperSonics, the Mavericks and the Nuggets

The black spots on Nowitzki's body have not been washed away at all, and the SuperSonics, although the SuperSonics unexpectedly defeated the strongest Spurs with Ye's superb performance in the Spurs, people always like miracles from the bottom of their hearts.

I don’t believe that miracles will always happen.

So it seems that the Lakers and Nuggets are more likely to represent the West in challenging the East.

The Lakers and Nuggets indeed regard themselves as natural representatives of the Western Conference.

So much so that in this game between the Lakers and the Nuggets at home, the two teams really fought with sparks flying, it was extremely exciting!

The Nuggets, who were playing on the road, took the lead right from the start. Anthony scored 16 points on 7 of 8 shots in the first quarter. The Nuggets led the Lakers by 8 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the situation suddenly changed.

In one quarter, Kobe performed even better, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, but what was even more outstanding was the overall strength of the Lakers. In this quarter, Kidd, Zach Randolph, Bynum, Artest, and Ali

Nine players including Zach, Fisher, Batum, and Turkoglu scored, erasing the 8-point advantage Anthony established in the first quarter in one fell swoop, and leading by one point at the end of the half.

The styles of the two teams can be seen from the first half of the game between the Lakers and Nuggets.

The Nuggets have Anthony as the battering ram.

The Lakers have Kobe as the sharp knife, but there are a bunch of machetes next to him!

The Nuggets have a lot of choppers, Billups and Hamilton also performed very well, but Anthony is the main player.

The tone of this game was indeed the same. The two teams kept the score tight until the last two minutes. Even because Anthony was in excellent form in this game, the Nuggets were still the one in the lead.

But with two minutes left in the game, when both teams were nearly exhausted, it became Kobe's stage.

In the last two minutes, Kobe Bryant scored all eight points of the Lakers. On the other side, Anthony, who had already scored 40 points before, didn't score a single point in the last two minutes. I'm tired, I'm really tired. Artest, Batu

Tom, Ariza, Zach Randolph...the Lakers' terrifying forward line really wore Anthony to the point of vomiting!

Among this group of Lakers forwards, Anthony scored 40 points, which is really amazing.

The final result was that it was Billups and Hamilton who faced off against Kobe in the end...

The three of them are really old rivals.

In the end, Kobe defeated the combination of Billups and Hamilton 8-6.

The Lakers also finally defeated the Nuggets 105-103 at home.

Both Kobe and Anthony scored 40 points in this game.

The performance of both of them is worthy of the title of super giant.

But the overall gap between the two teams meant that Anthony, who took 20 shots for 40 points, lost to Kobe, who took 28 shots for 40 points...

At the same time, this contest, which to some extent determines who is the strongest team in the Western Conference, has allowed the whole world to see the gap between the Nuggets and Lakers.

The Nuggets' lineup is already very thick, but compared to the Lakers, it's still too thin.

Especially on the forward line, the Nuggets can't find a substitute for Anthony...

The Nuggets' forward line, except for Anthony, other players in front of Artest, Batum, Ariza, and Turkoglu, no kidding, they are given away...

Even if Anthony has no physical strength, he still has to stay on the court, otherwise the Nuggets will collapse.

Anthony's physical strength is actually not bad, but he was eventually worn down by the Lakers.

It was also after the end of this game that the Lakers' championship odds surpassed all teams except the Heat, and they had the momentum to replace the Spurs as the Western Conference hegemon.

Compared with the sparkling matchup that started first in the West, the first game of the two groups in the East was lackluster.

The Cavaliers easily defeated the Wizards led by Arenas 118-101 at home.

The Wizards were able to beat the Magic because Arenas blasted the Magic's outside line harder than Howard hit the Wizards' inside line.

This does not mean that the Wizards' big man can guard the Magic's Howard.

The Wizards' weak inside line can't even guard Howard.

Can you defend O'Neal?

And how can the Cavaliers' outside line be comparable to that of the Magic? Although Deron Williams can't defend Arenas, he can have a huge impact.

It can be said that after half the game between the Cavaliers and Wizards, there was no suspense.

Arenas is also really unlucky. The Wizards have been able to go so far in the playoffs in the past few seasons because of Arenas' leadership. When it comes to the playoffs, the Wizards really don't have a reliable helper.

It's really thanks to Arenas that he gave up the temptation to join the Grizzlies last summer.

The game between the Celtics and the Heat was not as one-sided as the Cavaliers and Wizards.

But it's actually pretty much the same.

In the Celtics' away game against the Heat, the Celtics trailed by 15 points 36-51 in the first half.

The Celtics are a veteran team that is slow to warm up. More importantly, the Celtics built the team with the SuperSonics as their goal. They really didn't expect such a shameless team to suddenly appear in the Eastern Conference.

After the Celtics played this game, they really felt restricted in all directions.

After halftime, except for Ray Allen who taught his younger brother Ben Gordon a lesson, Garnett slightly beat Chris Bosh. Although James was still a bit undercover offensively in this game, he also beat Pierce on the defensive end.

, the most critical thing is the duel between Wade and Baron Davis. The strength is worthy of Baron Davis, and the speed burst is better than that of Wade. In the first half, Wade not only let Baron Davis

He didn't score a point, making 0 of 4 shots, and he also scored 23 points on 9 of 11 shots.

"Yes, yesterday's game did not stimulate James, but it stimulated Wade..."

According to the trend of this game in the first half, if James hadn't gone undercover on the offensive end in the second half and made 1 of 6 shots in the fourth quarter, I'm afraid the Heat would have closed this game long ago. Of course, although James was inexplicably on the offensive end again.

Being undercover caused the Heat to have some twists and turns in ending the game, but Wade scored another 13 points in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.

This round of showdown between the Celtics and the Heat should have been a strong dialogue, but as long as you watch the game and see that James is undercover, the Celtics can't beat the Heat. Most people will not hold a candle to the Celtics defeating the Heat.

How much confidence there is.

"Before the start of the season, Heat fans always thought that James was the biggest player, but they didn't expect that Wade would be the most reliable for the Heat in the end."

"James felt like he couldn't play anymore after that five-double night. James wouldn't be as useless as Durant, right?"

"Durant's failure is at least due to injury. This is force majeure. James' failure is really embarrassing. His mentality is so unbalanced that he can no longer play."

The game against the Celtics caused James' already low reputation to fall to the ground.

Faced with these doubts, James remained silent.

The Pistons are used to develop new offensive rhythm, and the Celtics are used to hone their own new game rhythm and offensive rhythm!

In the East, no team is more suitable to hone skills than the Celtics!

As for the controversy?

As long as you defeat Yes or win the championship, everything will come back!

As for whether the team can beat the Celtics and continue on?

"Thank you for your kindness..."
To be continued...
