Chapter 284: Cruel Central Division
Until the end of the first half of the game, Li Tuanjie did not continue to play, and the score between the two sides that the Bucks were originally leading was easily pulled back by the Lakers!
In the second half, Li Tuanjie continued to play, but this time he learned a lot smarter, although he was still against Kobe, but this time he did not use close defense, but put Kobe Bryant half a step as much as possible!
In this way, Kobe Bryant has no way to break through, and can only use projection to shoot!
And because of this half-step distance, Li Tuanjie can better adjust his body before Kobe Bryant has a tendency to make fouls, so as not to have physical contact with Kobe......
In this way, it will be very difficult for Kobe Bryant to continue to make Li Tuanjie fouls!
But the problem is not nothing, Kobe's projection ability is very strong, and Li Tuanjie's defensive style is definitely not as good as the close defense effect, so Kobe's shooting rate has warmed up a little!
But considering the comprehensive effect, Li Tuanjie's defensive effect of half a step on Kobe Bryant is still acceptable!
……
After appearing in the second half, Li Tuanjie focused more on the offensive end and started the battle with Kobe Bryant!
At the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 41 points, and Li Tuanjie scored 33 points!
At the end of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 57 points, and Li Tuanjie scored 46 points!
The fans at the scene were fascinated, and it was an unparalleled treat for every fan to see the two stars scoring so unscrupulously!
Kobe Bryant's data of 57 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Li Tuanjie's data of 46 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists are completely equal!
But in the end, the Bucks won the game, and the Bucks' lineup was obviously better than the Lakers!
……
"Boy, you're really good, looking forward to the next chance to fight you!" Kobe Bryant chatted with Li Tuanjie after the game!
Although the two were talking trash to each other on the field, it was a matter on the field after all, and after the game, the two felt a little sympathetic to each other......
Unlike the bosses of other teams, Kobe Bryant did not invite Li Tuanjie to join the Lakers, he is a player with strong self-esteem to the point of perversion, so naturally he will not do such a thing.
At the press conference after the game, the two players "touted" each other again, saying that the other party was the strongest player they had ever played again......
……
In recent days, the domestic NBA news has skyrocketed, and the hottest and most headlined news is the matter of Li Tuanjie and Kobe Bryant, which makes Chinese fans very excited, and China has finally come out of a super scorer!
The second most popular is Xia Longwen's acquisition of more than half of the shares of the bucks!
Xia Fangfei called Xia Longwen aggressively, and judging from Xia Longwen's face, Bacheng was scolded by Xia Fangfei again......
"Hey, brother, I really sympathize with you, you really belong to the mouth of the sheep, others can't hide from Xia Fangfei, it's better for you to send it to the door yourself!" Xia Longwen said to Li Tuanjie with a bitter face.
Li Tuanjie laughed: "What? What did Xia Fangfei scold you? ”
"She didn't say anything, she just scolded me for not telling her before I made such a big move, and she got angry...... Actually, I know that she must also have the idea of a buck, but the country is too busy, and she has not had the time to start operating, haha, I took the lead, you say she is not angry! Speaking of this, Xia Longwen couldn't help laughing.
Li Tuanjie knows that there is at least an eighty percent probability of what Xia Longwen said, the market value of the bucks is not high, coupled with the relationship between himself and Xia Fangfei, it is very likely that Xia Fangfei really has the intention of buying the bucks as Xia Longwen said......
……
After the victory over the Lakers, the Bucks' record in the East jumped directly to seventh place, with a 30-31 record, only one win less than the sixth-ranked Nets!
And the next two opponents of the Bucks are very weak, and it is not a problem to win two more games in a row with the current momentum of the Bucks!
Next, the Bucks played against the Hawks at home, and since the Hawks didn't have any decent interior line, Lee Tuanjie was liberated on the defensive end again, and he volunteered to take over the responsibility of defending singles Joe!
In this game, Li Tuanjie really dominated the whole court at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, with 39 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks!
The Bucks fans at the scene were dumbfounded, Li Tuanjie was like a god, leading the Bucks to beat the attacking Eagles, and they couldn't be defeated!
In the end, with a super-large score of nearly 30 points, the Eagles tasted the bitter fruit of failure!
The Nets lost the game against the Spurs, which also means that the Bucks' record officially surpassed the Nets and sat in the sixth place in the East!
At the beginning of the season, the penultimate in the East, with the addition of Li Tuanjie, the Bucks were like playing chicken blood, and their record rose like a rocket, directly rising to the sixth place in the East.
The fifth-ranked Chicago Bulls, regardless of the region, actually rank third in the East, second only to the Cavaliers!
Maybe fans in this era often encounter some wondering situations when watching football!
For example, this season's Bulls have a winning rate of 60%, but they only rank fifth in the East, while the Raptors, who are third in the East, have a winning rate of only 7 out of 5, and the Heat who are fourth in the East have a winning rate of only 5 out of 3.
It turns out that this era adopted a divisional promotion system, rather than a playoff ranking system based solely on results in later generations!
As we all know, the NBA is divided into two leagues, East and West, and each league is subdivided into three divisions under these two leagues!
Northwest, Pacific, and Southwest in the west, Central, Southeast, and Atlantic in the east!
The top four in the Eastern and Western Conference playoff standings aren't all about the record.
It's about where they stand in their respective regions! The teams with the best results in the three divisions automatically occupy the top four spots in the playoffs!
In this way, the Pistons, Raptors and Heat, the three teams with the best records in the three major divisions in the East, will automatically enter the top four in the playoffs, and the fourth spot will be the second place in the region with the best overall record among the three regions......
In this way, the Cavaliers, who have the best overall record in the Central Division, have naturally entered the top four in the playoffs!
The five teams in the Central Division, the Pistons, Cavaliers, Bulls, Bucks plus a Pacers......
It was extremely intense, which is why the Bulls had such a good record, but they couldn't make it into the top four, and his spot was occupied by the second-place Cavaliers!
If the Bulls can surpass the Cavaliers in victory, then they will jump a few levels in a row to move up to the second place in the East, while the Cavaliers will only be able to settle for fifth place in the East......
