Chapter 833 The Heroes Compete! (4K)
What’s exciting about this season?
Before the start of the season, people thought there were several highlights of this season.
The first is the collapse of the God Dynasty Lakers. What will happen to them? The Lakers have always dominated the league as an absolute ruler. And now, how will other teams make trouble for this former king?
What kind of performance will the GOAT Kobe perform in such a team full of losers and newcomers? Will his performance improve further after leaving O'Neal, or will it plummet? Nobody knows.
The second is whether O'Neal can win his first career MVP in Houston, the team's lineup and its matching, and his own strength is also at its peak. After so many years of hard work, winning an MVP will be the best reward for O'Neal.
Some people even think that the main contributor to the Lakers' five championships is O'Neal. O'Neal should be the MVP and FMVP. This year O'Neal, the league's No. 1 center, will lead the Rockets to win the championship again. In this way, it is self-evident who is the real protagonist of the five consecutive championships.
The third question is who will be the new king of the alliance. There are so many top teams that have suddenly emerged this summer! There will be a bloody storm in both the west and the east.
The battle for regular season record will be fierce, and there may be another legendary team with 70 wins.
The competition for MVP among the players will also be fierce. There are too many MVP-level players in the league! Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Iverson, Hill, Carter, Garnett, McGrady.
These players all have MVP qualities, and their teams also allow them to fully demonstrate their abilities.
The fourth point is the battle for the scoring champion.
The competition for the scoring title has never been as fierce as it has been in the past few years.
Kobe won three scoring titles in 6 years, namely 31.4 points, 41.9 points, and 38.9 points.
Among them, the scoring title in the first year of his career was taken away by Jordan, and the scoring title in 2000 was taken away by Iverson. In 2002, because of assisting O'Neal, his scoring dropped sharply. In the end, McGrady averaged 34.6 points per game and won the scoring title. .
What about this year?
This year, Kobe and O'Neal also started at least 30+. Iverson and Tracy McGrady are also regulars at 30. In addition to them, Carter, the new MVP Hill who is led by a single core, and Nowitzki all have the ability to average 30+ per game. !
This year will be the most fierce competition for the scoring champion!
In the past week since the league started, various speculations about the new season have come true, while others have been completely overturned!
"Win! The Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers and won this city derby!"
Three consecutive wins!
This year's Clippers once showed signs of rising.
This is the fourth year of Michael Olowokandi's career, and he is also 26 years old. At such an age, it should be the time for the center to mature!
At the same time, they also have Elton Brand, the Bulls' 1999 No. 1 pick! Brand, who was able to score 20+10 points in his rookie year, was selected as an All-Star last season and is a thorough All-Star level insider.
At the same time, with the No. 1 pick in 1998 and 1999 as a partner inside, and Corey Maggette and Quentin Richardson on the outside, this lineup created by Baylor once gave people hope of rising.
But in Los Angeles, only one team can always be king.
"Lakers 142: 89 Clippers!!! The Lakers' fast whirlwind continues!"
"It's too scary! The Lakers' offensive firepower is so fierce!"
"Everyone is here! The entire Lakers team made 18 three-pointers!"
"Kobe scored 26 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers! Kobe scored a triple-double in three consecutive games!"
"Yao Ming, the No. 1 pick! Facing the Candy Man and Captain Brand, he scored a career-high 21 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal and 3 turnovers!"
"Who is the most popular No. 1 pick now? Is it Sugar Man? Or Brand? Yao Ming used the first three games of his career to perform better every game, clearing the name of the parallel No. 1 pick!"
Before the start of the season, who would have thought that the Lakers could win three consecutive victories?
Who could imagine Yao Ming playing like a quasi-All-Star?
The Lakers' offensive firepower seems not to have been affected at all by O'Neal's departure, but has become more aggressive!
That is to say, the Spurs, the league's top team, can slightly restrict the Lakers' offense. The other Trail Blazers and Clippers were defeated when facing the Lakers!
The Clippers didn't even ask Kobe to perform. They surrendered under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Lakers role players.
In the confrontation between the three No. 1 picks, Yao Ming won!
First, the sugar man hit the three-point line.
Then, under the angry defense of the 2.03-meter Brand, he used his dream steps and continuously relied on his height advantage in the mid-range, just like an adult beating a child, unlimitedly attacking Brand.
What makes Brand even more angry is that he can't even beat Stephen Jackson on the offensive end.
Wu Sheng is definitely good at dealing with players who are no taller than him! Death Coil makes it difficult for Brand to attack.
The collapse came very quickly. Brand, as the boss of the Clippers, missed consecutive attacks. The Lakers' defensive counterattacks gave even the Spurs a headache, not to mention the Clippers, who were talented but undisciplined. Players.
Crush!
Kobe Bryant scored a triple-double in three consecutive games!
The Lakers' performance directly shattered a group of people's glasses!
"Kobe?" O'Neal suddenly woke up from his bed in the Houston mansion!
"Darling, what are you dreaming about?" O'Neill's female companion rubbed her sleepy and fluffy eyes.
"Nothing, nothing." O'Neill gasped.
He would not tell anyone that he dreamed of Kobe winning the MVP trophy again, and also holding the championship and FMVP rings.
Kobe raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly, as if he was mocking and said: "Shaq, he fucking needs me."
damn it!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This scene cannot be allowed to come true.
We must win the MVP and championship before Kobe!
O'Neal couldn't imagine Kobe laughing at himself after winning the honor he dreamed of.
If Kobe was the first to raise six fingers, O'Neal would probably go crazy with jealousy!
I'm afraid the entire alliance will fall into ridicule of itself.
"Three consecutive triple-doubles, right? I will risk my life in the next game!"
In the game against the Suns the next day, O'Neal made 19 of 35 shots and scored 53 points, 31 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal and 6 turnovers! Led the Houston Rockets to a victory over the Timberwolves!
"Tracy, this season will be your season." The Celtics defeated the Heat 117:92. After the game, the Cardinal found Tracy McGrady, who scored 41 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in the game!
This talent is enviable even to God! It finally turned into combat effectiveness!
Tracy McGrady won the scoring title last season!
And now, having an all-around helper like Penny Hardaway by his side is just like Jordan having Pippen by his side! Maddie was completely liberated.
In the first three games of the season, he steadily scored 43 points, 47 points, and 41 points with a shooting rate of over 50%!
Three consecutive 40+!
Who was the last player to do that in Boston?
Larry Bird!
In Auerbach's view, the current McGrady is no worse than Larry Bird, and is even several levels better than Bird on the defensive end!
McGrady is now one of the most versatile offensive and defensive players in the league!
Unlike Iverson and Karl, who conserve their energy on the defensive end, McGrady, under the training of Auerbach, has been able to lead the offense and defense like Jordan and Kobe!
There are many top attackers in the league!
But players who can take into account both offense and defense at the same time are all best team players. After Jordan, Malone, Pippen, Olajuwon and others gradually grow old and retire, there are really not many left!
McGrady was undoubtedly the most shining player last year! On the offensive end, he won the scoring title, and on the defensive end, he was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team!
too strong! This is a talent that even Cardinal Auerbach would envy.
If Bird had McGrady's talent, I'm afraid Kobe would not be so secure in his status as the number one player in NBA history.
"Coach, do I have a chance to win the MVP?" McGrady's eyes revealed desire. He felt that his abilities had finally reached their peak under Auerbach's guidance!
Especially with Penny's assistance, he became stronger!
No player can limit himself this season, and almost all of his shots can ignore the defense!
"Why not? Shaq's record in Houston is definitely not as good as ours, and Kobe can't do it alone."
"This season belongs to you!"
"Domineering defense!!! Portland Pacers win 5 consecutive games!"
"It's too strong! The Pacers' defense is too strong! They have limited the opponent's score to less than 70 points in three games this season! Horrible!"
"Kid!!! Germany!!! Jason Kidd scored 8+9+11! He has become the best German engine on this team! He has assisted a triple-double in three consecutive games!"
"Reggie Miller! DeMille's three-point shooting percentage in the first three games this season was as high as 51.6%! He averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game!"
"Junior O'Neal! This insider has undergone a transformation this year and has become the league's new 20+10 All-Star center! His steps are faster than the forwards! His defensive sense is as good as Garnett's! At the same time, he also has a skill Small mid-range shot!”
"Ron! Artest! This young small forward is so strong! Last season he could use his strong body to pressure opponents and averaged more than 2 steals per game. This season Artest's defense With the addition of Larry Bird’s system, it’s even better!”
"The Bulls traded away Brand and Artest. I really don't know what they want to do!?"
"The Pacers became the fourth team in the league to win all five games!"
powerful!
The defensive pressure of the Pacers team is really amazing.
The defense line composed of Kidd, Artest, Harrington, and O'Neal is impenetrable!
Even if the aging Miller's defense declines, he will still use an endless stream of small moves and offensive runs to consume the physical energy of opposing players.
"Hiss." Magic, who manages the Mamba Academy in Spain, turned off the TV and the game between the Hornets and the Grizzlies.
mad!
The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Hornets 97:82, suppressing the Hornets, ending their opponent's 4-game winning streak, and winning their 6th consecutive victory this season!
There are actually 5 teams that remain undefeated in the league!
Lakers, Grizzlies, Pacers, Rockets, Celtics!
horrible!
This season has been horrible!
In previous years, after the first 5 to 7 games, there were only one or two teams that could remain undefeated. And in most cases, due to the schedule, we didn't encounter too many strong teams and won by luck.
Half a month of regular season schedule is enough to make many teams stumble.
And this year! There are actually five teams that have been invincible since the start of the season!
Kobe averaged a triple-double of 37+10+10 in 6 games!
O'Neal averaged 35+18 per game!
The Pacers limited their opponents to less than 82 points per game!
With the help of Penny, McGrady has performed an all-around offensive and defensive performance second only to Kobe among outside players in recent years!
With Payton helping to defend and organize the team, Carter hit a career-high 32+7+7! He faced up to the new MVP Grant Hill and won!
The Grizzlies' state in this game, Carter's state in this game, Magic is scared to watch.
So stable! Carter's scoring is too stable and efficient!
He actually blasted Hill?
Hill is a player who can compete with Kobe!
This season's Hornets Jordan retired and became the team's minor owner. But the team's hard power has not dropped much.
The young players on the Hornets' bench are so good. Gerald Wallace and Ricky Davis have all grown into players who can stand on their own.
MVP Grant Hill, coupled with a former championship-level team, this team is still a popular team in the Eastern Conference.
And this team was actually beaten by the Grizzlies throughout the game!
Battier's defense against Hill was so good!
Battier has long arms and legs and is good at closing his eyes for defense!
Hill is a breakthrough player. He really didn't dare to risk having his eyeballs poked out and rush forward against Battier's finger.
This is just a regular season game after all!
Gasol! This Spanish center has an incredible wingspan!
Coupled with his all-around skills, he has become the absolute core of the Grizzlies team.
Gasol and Raheem, the performance of this combination on the offensive end is amazing.
With such strong teammates to restrain him, Carter played too unscrupulously.
Carter is the team's free man, not what the team needs him to do, but what he wants to do.
Carter switches infinitely in offensive mode, organizational mode, and off-ball mode according to the situation on the field. Grant Hill has no way to defend Carter like this!
"There are really more and more talented stars now." Magic smiled. A perimeter superstar of Carter's level was a ruler like Dr. J in the past.
And now there are endless such players.
It's not basketball that makes these superstars, it's these superstars that make basketball more exciting!
Basketball is getting more and more exciting and great!
This Grizzly Bear has undoubtedly demonstrated a historical level of ability!
Carter performed at an MVP level!
"Next game, the Grizzlies will face the Lakers at home"
"One of the five undefeated teams is going to be eliminated."
