Chapter 109: The Most Promising Person to Surpass Jordan
Zhang Zhiyuan did not go to the post-game press conference, leaving Kobe to bear the doubts alone.
However, this is not a big deal to Kobe.
After all, he is a man who has experienced the test of Eagle County.
At that time, the media's questioning was even more sharp, but Kobe still survived.
Of course, the process must be very painful.
Faced with doubts from the media, Kobe firmly refused to admit that he was playing for points, saying that this was the way he played today. He lost just because his performance was not good enough.
Moreover, the Lakers actually didn't lose much, only 7 points.
It's a pity that Kobe can't fool the media.
The news after the game still said that he was brushing the data, which led to the loss.
You can’t fool the media, and you can’t fool your heart either.
Kobe felt uncomfortable when he thought that Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points while he only scored 50 points.
The next day, the Lakers conducted some relaxing tactical training in the morning, and then gave the players a day off. After all, there was a game the next day, so there was no need to practice too hard.
Odom and Fisher went to the nightclub, Bynum went to play games, Kwame Brown went shopping, and Kobe chose to practice extra.
He is working hard on three-pointers and has begun to see results.
The shooting percentage during shooting training has been significantly improved than before.
Zhang Zhiyuan is also practicing, and there are two of them.
For three consecutive games, Kobe Bryant's score was higher than Zhang Zhiyuan's.
But it's useless. Fans on the Internet are still discussing who is stronger between him and Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points in a game, while Kobe only scored 50 points. This contrast was so obvious that Kobe's strength has been questioned.
Although everyone used to talk about the Los Angeles Twin Stars, most fans actually still have a standard in their hearts. They believe that Kobe is the boss of the Lakers and Zhang Zhiyuan is only the second in command.
But after Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points in a game, many fans quietly changed their views.
Although it is not necessary to conclude that Zhang Zhiyuan is better than Kobe, many fans already believe that the two are at least on the same level.
There are also a small number of fans who directly believe that Zhang Zhiyuan is already stronger than Kobe.
This kind of voice on the Internet made Kobe very depressed.
Although he has three championships, he won all three championships as the second in command.
Therefore, he must win the championship this season as the leader. Zhang Zhiyuan cannot even compete as an equal.
On the 25th, in the Christmas Day game, the Lakers faced the Mavericks at home.
In the end, 121 to 138, the two teams played a very high score, and the Lakers won in the end.
Kobe finally felt comfortable. He thought the media should praise him now.
However, when he saw the news after the game, he almost died of anger on the spot.
[The two stars combined to score 72 points, the strongest firepower combination in history.]
Good guy, the media didn't comment on him alone, but directly praised their combination.
Damn it.
Kobe wanted to complain, why was it not mentioned in the news when Zhang Zhiyuan scored 86 points that the two Los Angeles stars scored 104 points together? Why only Zhang Zhiyuan's 86 points were mentioned.
Kobe felt the world was full of malice.
On the 27th, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves.
On the 29th, the Lakers defeated the Clippers.
On the 31st, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies.
At this point, all games in December have been played.
The Lakers played 17 games this month, with 15 wins and 2 losses, and a total record of 27 wins and 4 losses, continuing to lead the league.
However, the Celtics' performance is also very strong. New
In December, they had 14 wins and 2 losses, and their overall record was 26 wins and 5 losses, only one game behind the Lakers.
The third place is still the Pistons, currently 24 wins and 7 losses.
Overall, there is not much change from November.
In other words, the status of the Cavaliers and Mavericks has declined, and the Magic's ranking has improved again.
After the games in December, the league announced its Player of the Month.
The winner in the Eastern Conference was Howard, with 23.7 points, 16.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks, while shooting 59% from the field.
Ranked first in the league in rebounds and blocks, ranked in the top 20 in scoring, and the team's record ranked third in the Eastern Conference.
His award is well deserved.
Others simply can't compete.
The Celtics have a good record, but the player data is too scattered.
James' statistics are pretty good, 30.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, but the team's record is worse than that of the Magic.
Moreover, his data is still slightly inferior to Howard.
There is no suspense about the Eastern Conference, and there is no suspense about the Western Conference's Best of the Month.
Zhang Zhiyuan won the Best of the Month for the first time and received 30 honor points.
He averaged 33.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game in December.
The field goal percentage was 53%, the three-point shooting percentage was 47%, the free throw percentage was 95%, and the efficiency value ranked first in the league.
Except for the rebounding data, which embarrasses the small forward, the other data are perfect and no one can compete.
Kobe averaged 30.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in December, which is pretty good data.
But I am afraid of comparison in everything.
His shooting percentage was only 43.6%, which was quite embarrassing in front of 53%.
The same is true for Paul. It was he who won the Best of the Month award this month.
It's a pity that now there is an extra Zhang Zhiyuan, and he has missed the best first month of his life.
Paul's statistics are 25.6 points, 10.8 assists and 3.0 steals, with a shooting percentage of 48.3% and second in the league in efficiency.
This kind of data is not even the best in a month, and Paul's fans have fainted in the toilet.
The competition for Best of the Month is actually very fierce, and it is a very valuable award.
After playing the game in December, the time has entered 2008.
There is no league game on New Year's Day, so Zhang Zhiyuan watches TNT programs at home.
Barkley, Smith, Scottie Pippen, and Rodman discuss this season's MVP.
"Kevin Garnett, no doubt about it."
Pippen took the lead in expressing his views, and many fans and spectators couldn't help but sneer.
If Pippen only supported Garnett's election, fans wouldn't think there was any problem, but Pippen insists on adding that there is no doubt, which is a bit outrageous.
When comparing records, statistics, and appearance, Garnett has no advantage, so why is there no doubt? There is a big doubt.
"Bo Xue, how come there is no doubt? Why was he elected?"
Buckley asked.
"Of course it's the team record."
Pippen said.
"The Lakers are No. 1 now."
Smith reminded.
"It's just temporary. The Lakers have more ups and downs and are definitely not as stable as the Celtics. If we continue to watch, the Celtics will eventually surpass the Lakers. Moreover, even if the Celtics' record is not as good as the Lakers, I still
I will insist on choosing Garnett, because the Celtics' record has improved the most. Last season they only had more than 20 wins, and they can win at least 40 more games this season. The Lakers won 42 games last season, and even if they win 62 this season
Even though we won, we only improved by 20 games..."
Pippen discussed endlessly.
It was really difficult for him, but he helped Garnett find an advantage point.
However, this advantage relies on the fact that the Celtics were so rubbish last season, which is really not something to be proud of.
"If the Celtics just have one more Garnett and win 40 more games, then there is no problem in selecting him. However, at least 20 of these 40 games are due to Ray Allen. So I think Garnett is still
If he is not qualified enough, Howard should be elected. His data, his defensive role, he single-handedly supports the Magic."
Rodman also expressed his opinion, and his choice turned out to be Howard.
Maybe it's because Howard grabs a lot of rebounds, which suits his taste.
Or maybe he just wants to prove the importance of defense, the importance of rebounding, and his importance in this way.
After all, his scoring data is so eye-catching.
Only by emphasizing the importance of rebounding can he become a star.
"Howard is very good, but the Magic's record is much worse than the Lakers. I think the MVP still has to be selected from the team with the best record."
Smith said.
"Then who do you think it should be, Kobe Bryant or Zhang?"
Buckley asked.
Of course he deserves Smith's support, but for the sake of the program's effect, he still knows the truth and is ready to play devil's advocate.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's Zhang."
Smith said, the way he said it was quite unsavory, at least Ke Mi was very unhappy after hearing it.
Smith then elaborated on his point of view.
"First of all, in terms of statistics, he is completely adequate, averaging 28.8 points per game, as well as scoring performances of 86 points and 70 points in three quarters. Secondly, his role is also obvious, directly helping a team that has been on the edge of the playoffs to become the number one champion.
Seeded team. His efficiency, his shooting percentage, and his tactical role are irreplaceable and unparalleled."
Fortunately, Kobe was training and didn't watch this show, otherwise he would have been pissed off.
Three people were discussed, but his name was not included, which is very outrageous.
In the end, in order to play against Smith, Barkley finally expressed his opinion. He said: "First of all, I also admit that Zhang is a very good player. It is a pity that he is in the Lakers. What is the label of the Lakers? It is Kobe's ball."
No matter how well Zhang plays, he has only been here a few months. Kobe has been with the Lakers for almost 12 years. If I have to choose the MVP among the Lakers, it must be Kobe."
These words seemed to support Kobe, but Komi felt a little weird when he heard about the championship.
What this means is that if Kobe can win MVP, it must be based on seniority, not strength. This is a kind of high-level black.
In fact, Kobe's current average is 29.9 points per game, which is higher than Zhang Zhiyuan.
If Zhang Zhiyuan is qualified to be elected as MVP, Kobe Bryant is obviously qualified too.
"Nonsense, neither the Lakers nor the Celtics are qualified. They are all star players, either dual-core or triple-core. Only the Magic are single-core, so the MVP must be Howard."
Rodman shouted, as if shouting loudly could determine the outcome of the debate.
"If Howard can do it, then Paul is even more qualified. In the past, Nash could win the MVP with 15 points and 11 assists. Now Paul's data is 25 points and 11 assists. Is there any reason not to win?"
Barkley broke the news.
"Nash was elected with 15 points and 11 assists because he helped the team improve from 29 wins to 62 wins. Therefore, the MVP should still be selected from the Celtics, and it must be Garnett."
Pippen said.
"You don't draft a bunch of guys who average 30 or 2,510 per game, but you pick a player who averages 189? Do you know how many players in the league have numbers over 189?"
Smith complained.
The team's record is important, but the players' data also speaks volumes.
Garnett's data clearly shows that he is only one-third of the Celtics, not the only core.
.......
The four of them argued with each other, but in the end they didn't come to a conclusion.
However, through their discussions, fans have basically determined who this year's mvp will be selected from.
As of now, there are only 5 that are competitive.
Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Zhang Zhiyuan, Garnett, Howard.
Coincidentally, the five of them happened to form a starting lineup, with all positions from No. 1 to No. 5 available.
Some fans exclaimed, is this the strongest starting lineup in the league and the best team this year?
Kobe and Garnett are both veteran stars, while Zhang Zhiyuan, Howard and Paul are all new generations.
As a result, some fans couldn't help but lament that the league was about to be dominated by a new generation of stars.
This program received high ratings. After the program was broadcast, some people were happy and some were sad.
Fans of Zhang Zhiyuan, Paul and Howard are naturally the happiest. For them, it is best to win the MVP, but they can accept it if they don't.
Garnett fans began to worry. Although the team's record was so good, it was a pity that their idol's statistics were not impressive.
They can't wait to give some suggestions to the Celtics coaching staff and let Garnett improve his statistics.
Kobe's fans are also a little panicked. Although Kobe has the biggest advantage at the moment, Zhang Zhiyuan's presence always makes them feel a little uneasy.
If Zhang Zhiyuan scores two more 86 games at the last moment, he might steal the tower.
However, the most depressing ones are James fans.
The little emperor has been shouting for more than 4 years, but as a result, not only has he not won the MVP award, he is not even qualified to be discussed.
During their argument, Barkley even mentioned Duncan and Stoudemire, but I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but they didn't mention James.
This is quite heartbreaking for Jamie.
Not only is Jamie depressed, Stern is also depressed.
The league spent so many resources to promote James, and even risked being criticized by the media and fans by allowing him to "steal".
But even so, I still can't hold it up.
There is no championship, no mvp, no scoring champion, no best team...
Now James really has nothing.
The other highly praised Kobe Bryant is in slightly better condition, but because of Zhang Zhiyuan's presence, it may be difficult for him to receive a higher evaluation.
Not to mention surpassing Jordan, even succeeding Jordan is a bit uncertain.
"Will the league be dominated by a Chinese player in the future?"
Stern was surprised to find that the person currently most promising to surpass Jordan is Zhang Zhiyuan, who the league has not spent any resources to promote.
This made Stern feel sad and happy.
Fortunately, the alliance finally has a potential figure who can support the card, and the alliance does not need to spend resources to support him.
Sadly, this player is Chinese. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
