Chapter 34: Thank you for your 249 days of companionship
Chapter 34 is 249 days
Just when the league was going to see how the Lakers could stay competitive this year, the news came out that Ewing, the symbol of New York, announced that he would not execute the final year of his contract and peacefully part with New York to join the Lakers.
At the same time, the Lakers have cleared a few players who want to find a big contract, and introduced some players who are bent on winning the championship, the strength of the Lakers in the regular season is still in domination, and compared with last year, the big fat O'Neal is obviously a little lax, but the Lakers with Kenjiro and Kobe Bryant plus a group of strong players also played the first in the league to enter the playoffs, but this year, no matter how luxurious the Lakers are, no matter how high the Lakers' reputation for winning the championship is.
But this year is destined to be Iverson's year, and to be honest, the best performers this year should be Duncan of the Spurs and Kenjiro of the Lakers, both of whom played 82 games and contributed more than 20+10+3 statistics.
It's just that Duncan's Spurs really disgusted David Stern, and the most critical market is small and there is no topic, which makes Duncan suffer a lot, you must know that basically according to Duncan's performance, it should be no problem to overwhelmingly win three MVPs in his entire career, but even if Duncan has won two MVPs, in the case of high first-round ticket predictions, they are all narrowly defeated opponents, and I believe everyone should understand the problem.
As for Kenjiro because of the existence of O'Neal, everyone stops Kenjiro from the second leader of the team, even if O'Neill has been off for more than ten games due to injury, O'Neal's vote rate is also above Kenjiro.
Iverson's victory, a big part of the reason for the league's praise, this year's Iverson data full explosion of the reason, for the impact of the inside is very strong, the average free throw per game is more than ten times.
In this way, Iverson lifted the MVP trophy after missing eleven games, but also won the scoring and stealing titles, and by the way, this year's All-Star Most Valuable Player was also won by Iverson.
The Lakers are the league-wide champion, but Iverson also led the 76ers to the playoffs with the best finish in the East.
The Lakers, with the support of a group of veterans, finally woke up in the playoffs, and O'Neal also began to show the performance that the league's No. 1 center should have, and the Lakers sang all the way.
Garnett, the unlucky wolf king in the first round, was once again educated by O'Neal with a big ass, and with veterans like Ewing and Barkley, the Timberwolves who beat it had no power to fight back.
Young Garnett was no match for these seasoned old rascals at all, and was basically pressed to the ground and rubbed.
The troika facing the Mavericks in the second round was just that the team's boss Finley was not strong enough and performed very badly, but the youngest Nowitzki showed amazing talent and was not soft at all in the face of an opponent like the Lakers.
The duel between the two teams directly Kenjiro and Nowitzki has become a major attraction of the game, Kenjiro's shooting action has borrowed something from Nowitzki, but Kenjiro can't be as efficient and unsolvable as the other party, such a shooting posture requires too much talent, and it is not something that can be learned if you want to learn it at all.
Fortunately, Kenjiro is not ashamed, and the two are considered to have exploded each other, and many people found out after the game that Kenjiro's shooting hotspots and Nowitzki are very interesting, one has a long range and likes the front basket, and the other likes to like the bottom corner at close range.
And both of them have range beyond the three-point line, but Kenjiro uses the three-point shot more as a containment weapon so that he can have a chance to cut inside, while Nowitzki relies heavily on three-point performance, and many people think that it is like the two will have good chemistry on a team.
The Western Conference Finals faced the old rival Kings, who eliminated the injury-stricken Spurs 4-2, and this year the Kings climbed from eighth to third place last year, and Peja's growth allowed the Kings to basically complete all the pieces of the puzzle for the championship.
If it weren't for the injury plague at the core Webb, he would probably have had a surprising season.
It was the king who met O'Neal at his peak and Kobe Bryant who entered the peak plus the stable Kenjiro, and there was no suspense and another 4:0 sweep, not that the king didn't work hard, but the current Lakers were too strong and didn't know how to lose.
The finals are coming, and everyone is ready to see if the Lakers will win the championship by winning 12 consecutive games, and the Lakers did not give the 76ers a chance at all, basically finishing the game in a crushing posture.
Coming to the home court of the 76ers, the owner of Philadelphia told the Lakers with his own actions that there is oppression and resistance, and the Lakers, who have become enemies in the eyes of the league, Iverson played 52 minutes in the third game, made 42 crazy shots, accounted for half of the team's shots, and won one game with the 76ers.
In this game, Kenjiro played a short time because of fouls, and Ke Slag once again turned into a blacksmith, and the Lakers Big Three were two shorters, even if O'Neal scored 40+20 terrifying data, it did not prevent the Lakers' defeat.
After that, the Lakers didn't give Iverson any chance, Kenjiro also witnessed Iverson's domineering step over the wrestling Lu, and less than a minute into the game, Iverson hit a key shot in front of the only person who was known as the only one who could defend himself, announcing that the Lakers were dead, and the rescue was ineffective and lost the first game of the playoffs.
This is completely a gimmick, just throw the pot Lu Na data, don't say it's a guy who defends Iverson, even if it's a guy who can't guarantee the time on the field, it's just a little trick played by the Zen master, tell the strong team in the east that you see this is the secret weapon to defeat Iverson, welcome to buy it.
Soon recruited by the ambitious Jordan's Wizards, the strong Lakers are moving towards their third championship, but O'Neal, the biggest contributor to the two-time championship, thinks that the Lakers themselves play a bigger role than the sky, which caused Kenjiro and Kobe Bryant's dissatisfaction, unlike the two, Kenjiro's three-year contract expires after this year.
So in the 02 season, Kenjiro increased his number of shots, and Kenjiro, who averaged more than 15 shots per game compared to last year, increased the number of shots to 20 this year, and Kenjiro also showed a high-quality shooting rate, so that the rest of the Lakers had nothing to say, although the shooting distance was not as close as O'Neal, but the shooting feel and height matched with the unsolvable shooting posture became Kenjiro's answer to the Lakers.
In the 15 games that O'Neal missed, Kenjiro directly replaced O'Neal as the Lakers' center, with 25 shots, none of the 15 games scored less than 30 points, none of the rebounds were below 15, and the performance of assists and blocks was also eye-catching.
O'Neal is off the court but can see Kenjiro's determination, and the Lakers have the best record in the league with 70 wins this season.
At the end of the regular season, many people want to see the jokes of the big fat man, Kenjiro and Kobe Bryant are both famous training ascetics in the league, and if O'Neal stays healthy this year, he may have another MVP.
It's just that now this trophy belongs to Kenjiro, and the Lakers still lost one game in this year's playoffs, but not in the finals, Kenjiro said that the team's boss is still O'Neal, but the number of shots has not decreased, and it still remains at an average of about 25 times per game.
In addition to losing one game against the Kings, the Lakers still won the third championship in all games, and finally O'Neal turned into a big shark again in the finals, averaging 36 points, 12 rebounds (3 frontcourts), 3.8 assists and 2.8 blocks per game in four games, but this data still did not win the third FMVP in his life.
Kenjiro's 37 points, 14 rebounds (4.5 frontcourt), 6 assists and 4 blocks are even more convincing, and Kenjiro also won his first FMVP.
The Lakers also did not give others a chance to get involved in the new FMVP, and directly announced that they had signed Kenjiro with a three-year maximum salary.
Kenjiro and Kobe Bryant are friends in the Lakers, better friends, the two live very close, and they usually train together, but Kenjiro is holding O'Neal, although Kobe is not happy with O'Neal, but Kenjiro helps to calm down.
It's just that it's unpleasant, as O'Neal said, he paddled off the court or in the regular season, because he wanted to accumulate energy to perform in the playoffs, which made Kenjiro and Kobe, who also want to be the first person on the team, think.
Envy and hatred can be explained very well, both of them are envious of O'Neill's talent, and they also hate people with such talent who always like to engage in things, and they are both quite successful.
Seeing that the Lakers are about to achieve a hegemony that is even more terrifying than the Jordan-Bulls era, O'Neal also feels that Kenjiro is a threat to him, and he has restrained a lot in training and games.
In the 03 season, Kenjiro used his already rich honor points to buy a large number of physical fitness packages, and led the Lakers to 75 wins in the regular season, once again becoming the Most Valuable Player and the Most Valuable Player of the Finals in a row.
In the same year, he married Tomomi and Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi, who had been training in American universities for several years, entered the NBA, Sakuragi was traded by the Lakers, and Rukawa Kaede was selected to New York by the fourth place in the first round.
O'Neal and Kenjiro and Kobe, the most dominant combination in the last four centers, the three created the Lakers' super dynasty for 12 consecutive championships, and O'Neal announced his retirement to end this terrifying record.
It's just that although O'Neal is the initiator of the dynasty, Kenjiro and Kobe are the continuators of the dynasty.
O'Neal scored two FMVPs, Kenjiro eight FMVPs, and Kobe Bryant twice.
After O'Neal retired, Kenjiro and Kobe Bryant also led the Lakers to continue their journey of dominance, even if they were targeted by the whole league, the two won two championships before retiring, and Kobe Bryant also won his first regular season MVP trophy in the 13th season, and became the Finals FMVP.
And Kenjiro announced his retirement in 2018, and in the season of retirement, the Lakers won the championship again, Kenjiro became the MVP of the regular season for the sixth time, and was crowned FMVP in the finals, the Lakers won 4:2, Kenjiro averaged 34 points, 22 rebounds, 13 assists and 5 blocks per game in six games, which made many people regret that Kenjiro could continue to play, but at this time basketball was not so important to Kenjiro, and what he was chasing had already been obtained, and the loss of freshness was the biggest enemy.
