Chapter 296: Not Always Bullying Honest People
After receiving the prize "on the road", the game between the Lakers and the Clippers will begin.
In addition to these awards, there are no results for the regular season VP selection yet.
The most likely candidates were LeBron James and Kobe Bryant at the time.
In terms of record, James' Heat is 65-17, the best in the league.
And in the regular season, they played a record 27 consecutive wins, arguably the brightest team in the league.
But the Lakers also won 60 wins in the regular season, and although the winning rate is not as good as the Heat, it is not far behind.
Moreover, Kobe Bryant played a different performance in the game than in the past.
At the beginning of the season, he scored like crazy, and in the middle and late stages of the season, he became an organizer, allowing people to see a different Kobe Bryant than they remembered.
You must know that since he played in Italy as a child, Kobe Bryant has developed a solitary and selfish style of play.
Because when he was in Italy, he was the only black player.
Other young European players are too poor compared to him.
So Kobe Bryant was reluctant to pass the ball, he believed in himself more.
This style of play has almost continued Kobe Bryant's career, from a black player on the streets of Italy to a 4-year-old NBA superstar.
As a result, this season, Kobe Bryant actually made a change.
In the regular season, Bryant averaged 27 points per game, ranking second in the league behind Anthony.
He also dished out a career-high 69 assists.
This way of changing one's play, as well as the effect it brings, will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on the media.
Before Kobe Bryant's injury, the most articles published in the Los Angeles media were analysis of Kobe's change in playing style.
Anyway, it's just a few blows.
In this way, in the selection of VP, it will undoubtedly add a lot of impression points to Kobe.
Impression score is very important, and there is also the factor of VP aesthetic fatigue.
Since the VP is no longer the player's own selection, the subjective factor has increased a lot.
For example, if a player always wins the VP, even if his performance is deservedly the strongest in the league next season, he may not be selected.
Because everybody is tired of watching it.
Typical are Michael Jordan in 1997 and Karl Malone in 1998, and it is actually more appropriate for the two to be replaced.
In '97, Jordan deserved to be the first in both team record and on-court performance, but lost to Malone in the selection.
One of the main reasons is that the judges are aesthetically tired and don't want to watch Jordan win the VP all the time.
And as compensation, in 1998, the VP was awarded to Jordan, and in fact, Malone performed a little better this year.
Another example is in 2011, LeBron James won the regular season VP indisputably in '09 and '10.
As a result, he switched to the Miami Heat in 11 years, which caused his reputation among fans and the media to plummet.
In '11, James still played at a VP level, but lost to the fledgling Derrick Rose in the VP selection.
Rose's strength and the Bulls' record are undoubtedly worth a VP, but James' defeat was indeed affected by subjective factors.
Therefore, the candidates for this VP have not been announced for a long time, and it may be delayed until the regional finals.
At this point, Kobe Bryant had already put the VP matter behind him.
Although he bragged in front of the team in the season and said that he wanted to get a VP, he was bragging after all.
Who hasn't blown a few unrealized cowhides in their lives?
Kobe Bryant used to say that he was super Jordan, but now he knows that he can't be super with his toes.
……
The game started at 7 p.m. sharp, and Game 3 was a must-play for the Clippers.
Otherwise, if you really have to be fo, then Li Liangke will be proud.
The Clippers, as expected, remained unchanged, and Negro was really a tendon to the end.
Of course, the Lakers are unchanged and respond to all changes, and they will shoot four stars in one shot.
Tonight's Stamp Center became a sea of red, and although there were a lot of Lakers fans in purple jerseys, most of them still supported the Clippers.
After so many years in Los Angeles, the Clippers have amassed a lot of loyal fans.
This world is like this, where there is a mainstream, there must be a non-mainstream.
When the base is large enough to a certain extent, a small number of non-mainstream groups also have a large absolute number.
The slogan on the side of the court is "No?is big", which is the promotional slogan of this year's NBA, "Big Scene".
Judging from the first two games, the Los Angeles derby was not big at all, and the Clippers lost too crisply.
The Clippers will have to respond somewhat.
Jordan Jr. scored in a scrum for the first goal of the game.
Chris Paul and Griffin blocked and dismantled, and once it didn't work, it didn't work again, and the Lakers changed defenses.
Li Liang switched to Paul one-on-one, and in the bottom corner of the left side, Paul held the ball and singled Li Liang.
This is exactly what Paul wants to see, and it is Li Liang who is beaten.
After Paul's continuous cross-step dribbles, he pulls back and shoots from mid-range!
The ball hollowed into the net and scored the Clippers' first point!
There was jubilation at the Staples Center, and the goal showed Paul's determination.
In the first two games, he started with passing, assisting, and playmaking, and this one he attacked by himself as soon as he came up.
Li Liang took the ball to serve from the bottom line, thinking to himself, it was said that Paul was very similar to Kobe Bryant in personality, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
I lost too much in front of me and lost in a hurry, and I worked hard as soon as I returned to my own field.
Where did you go in the morning? Will you lose more and lose more if you work hard early? Do you have to pretend to be forced and wait for the outbreak?
Just like in the 08 Finals, he was beaten 0:2 by the Celtics in front, and when he returned to Stamp Kobe, he desperately broke through to make fouls and went to the free throw line.
fought down one game, but the fourth game was reversed and directly defeated.
In 10 years, Kobe Bryant realized, and he started to fight in the first game, and he fought for the championship in the seventh game.
It is necessary to start from the first moment, otherwise it will be too late.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant immediately returned the color.
Nash used Li Liang's cover to get into the three-second zone, then came out with a turn and distributed the ball to Kobe Bryant in the bottom corner.
Bryant catches the ball and hits a mid-range jumper.
Billups' attention was on Nash, and even Kobe Bryant was missing.
If Nash found his form in the first round, this round, Kobe Bryant is finding his offensive touch.
Then, the Clippers ran on the outside for half a day and didn't get a chance.
In the end, Paul had to distribute the ball to Griffin, who forced a mid-range jumper and missed.
The rebound popped up, and Billups got the ball, only to almost lose the ball under Li Liang's interference.
In a hurry, Billups hit the ground and passed to Jordan Jr. on the other side, but it hit Jordan Jr.'s leg.
Out of bounds, mistakes.
Paul started quite resolutely, but he didn't shoot the second ball and let Griffin play.
Looking at Kobe Bryant again, the Lakers have a triangle offensive run, and Kobe Bryant has already got a single chance at the waist position.
Li Lianghang passed to Kobe, who received the ball and turned around with a feint to shake Billups.
Then Kobe Bryant went directly to the bottom line and hit the basket with one hand!
The Staples Center was cheered!
Who the hell are you?
Kobe Bryant scored two straight goals in the opening game, and he would dunk.
Therefore, although Paul's personality is very similar to Kobe, he is not Kobe after all.
They used to work together and would be a perfect match, but not anymore.
The next shot, I don't know what the Clippers thought, but they chose to let Jordan Jr. squeeze under the basket, catch the ball and turn around to attack.
Although Jordan Jr.'s position is very good, very deep, and it completely blocks Howard behind him.
But how can little Jordan get into this basket of skills?
Li Liang came from the flank, and gave a big hat in the air to Little Jordan.
Little Jordan fell directly to the ground, but Li Liang did not foul this ball.
Ci Shiping picked up the ball and launched a counterattack.
However, during the counterattack, Howard accidentally touched Paul, and Paul fell to the ground in "pain".
Just now, little Jordan fell to the ground, and the referee didn't blow the foul, and now it's going to be blown.
As soon as he finished blowing, Paul was no longer in pain and got up from the ground.
Li Liang immediately turned on the hair dryer and said to the referee: "What about him acting, don't you see what he plays?" This is a fake fall, he will fall when he touches it, you see his ass is like that, the chassis is so stable, will he fall down when he touches it? ”
The referee tonight is Dan Crawford, and he knows Li Liang.
He reminded, "Bruce, play well and don't stare at your opponent's ass." “
Li Liang had nothing to say, and gave Dan a roll of his eyes.
Paul acted like this, and of course Li Liang had to return one.
The Clippers attacked, Paul missed the shot, and when he grabbed the rebound, Griffin bumped into Li Liang.
Li Liang snatched the ball into his arms first, and then pounced forward, feeling that he had been knocked down by Griffin.
Griffin grabbed the rebound from behind and was a little suspicious of pushing people with elbows.
Seeing this, the referee gave Griffin a foul, and Griffin looked confused.
Damn, Paul acting, why should it be returned to me?
It's Bruce Lee again, and it's bullying honest people again.
The opening situation was not in favor of the Clippers, and Ci Shiping received a pass from Nash in the offense, and also hit a mid-range jumper.
Even Ci Shiping began to hit shots!
Then, Billups countered with the ball and missed a mid-range jumper.
The Clippers' offense has lost its discipline.
Then Howard grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and Billups stepped forward to grab the ball, resulting in a foul.
It's terrible, it feels like it's going to collapse.
The commentary at the scene mentioned that Billups did not score 1 point on 0-of-6 shooting in the last game, which gave the team a lot of damage.
And Negro still trusts Billups a lot.
The Lakers played very relaxed, and Bryant missed a catch-and-shoot jumper from the outside.
But Li Liang grabbed the rebound in the front court and gave the ball to Nash, Nash started with the ball, and with the help of Li Liang's cover, he hit the basket and made a left-handed layup!
It's 8:2, and before the game, the Clippers said that they would fight against the water.
This is the first time to put your feet in the water.
Negro didn't call a timeout either, and the Clippers launched a quick counterattack.
Straight to the backcourt with a quick serve, Paul receives the ball in the middle and makes a long pass to the basket.
Griffinka got into a good position and caught the ball and went straight to the basket!
But after the goal, Griffin had a little physical contact with Li Liang, who was defending him.
Griffin pushed Li Liang with his hand, Li Liang's body was crooked, and he felt like he was going to fall.
The referee took a shot and gave Griffin a technical foul!
Griffin is helpless, why did I foul again!
There was a boo, and the referee was really a bit excessive.
Li Liang just wanted to interfere with Griffin, but he didn't expect the referee to give face so much and blow Griffin's technical foul.
Standing at the free throw line, Li Liang technically fouled the free throw.
He didn't forget to say to the referee: "Dan, blowing technical fouls is too much, in the playoffs, physical contact is normal." ”
The referee warned Li Liang: "No matter how verbose you are, you will also be given a technical foul." ”
Li Liang was unhappy at this time, and after hitting the free throw, he said to the referee: "Why are you unreasonable?" Do you have the ability to blow it? You blow! ”
Well, the referee had never heard of such a request in his life, and turned around and gave Li Liang a technical foul.
The audience was stunned, what happened?
Why did Li Liang also receive a technical foul.
Li Liang, who got the technical foul, had no objection, he walked up to Griffin and said, "I just want to play fair and tell you that I will definitely win you." ”
Griffin didn't speak, but his impression of Li Liang was inexplicably better. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
