Chapter 283: I'm going to win the MVP!

In the blink of an eye, the new season has started more than 20 days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On November 20th, there will be a key matchup at the Energy Arena, the home stadium of Oklahoma, between the Los Angeles Lakers and the home team, the Thunder.

It was the highlight of the day, and one of the most talked-about games in the league this season.

The two teams, the young players are full of talent, and they are the most promising championship teams, and when these two teams meet together, it is undoubtedly a match where Mars collides with Earth.

As of the end of the game, the Lakers' record was 10-1, ranking first in the West.

The Thunder, on the other hand, only had a 7-5 record due to Durant's slump at the beginning of the season, ranking fifth in the West.

Although there is a gap between the two sides in terms of record, it does not mean that the Lakers will be able to beat the Thunder.

On the contrary, the Lakers' only loss in their last 11 games has been to the Thunder, and at home. In that game, the Thunder narrowly outscored the Lakers 88-84 with excellent defense, and Westbrook hit two three-pointers in key moments.

And today's encounter is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Lakers to take revenge.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xuan took the players to the energy arena to adapt to the venue, and then had a short warm-up game.

He then arranged for the nutritionist to prepare the food, and after the players had eaten, they went to rest.

About an hour later, it was time for the game to start.

Under the introduction of the DJ on the spot, the players appeared one after another.

The atmosphere was extremely hot, and the fans showed unimaginable enthusiasm for the game.

The banners around the Energy Arena are all about encouraging the home team to beat the Lakers.

Obviously, there is nothing more rewarding than beating last season's champions.

Daniel, the Thunder's on-site reporter and courtside correspondent, is doing interviews on both sides of the game and gathering useful news footage.

This time the Thunder hosted the Lakers, and there were a lot of gimmicks and highlights.

And as a journalist who eats by creating focus, Daniel naturally will not give up the opportunity to interview.

In the current Lakers team, the most worthy of being interviewed are the Twin Towers and Kobe, and then the head coach Chu Xuan.

Because Chu Xuan was busy discussing things with Nash and Payton, Daniel found Kobe Bryant, who practiced dribbling on the sideline.

"Hey Kobe, you seem serious today, are you under some pressure against Russell?"

Hearing such meaningful words, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, is this guy here to mock him?

"Kobe, from the last 11 games, your transition has been very successful. You could be the league's assist leader this season, and you're still a threat in the scoring charts. Can you talk a little bit about how you did that? You know, this is your first season as a point guard, what made you transform so quickly? ”

In the first 11 games of the season, Bryant averaged 15.8 points and 9.0 assists per game, averaging just 11.8 shots per game. In terms of assists, he is second behind Rondo. During this period, he averaged more than 10 assists per game and ranked first.

It was a shocking success, and in terms of individual performance, Bryant did find a way to balance offense and organization, and his individual shots per game were 7.3 fewer than last season, while his assists soared.

Many people have found that Kobe's passing awareness and skills are top-notch, as Magic Johnson said before, it's just a matter of whether Kobe Bryant is willing to pass the ball, not that he doesn't have the ability to pass a lot of assists.

"I just think about the team, put the organization first, and then everything falls into place, it's as simple as that." Kobe Bryant said lightly.

"Admittedly, your performance in the No. 1 position is also star-calib, not inferior to Chris Paul at all. However, against Russell on the 11th, you only contributed 4 points and 9 assists, which is far from average. Is it fair to say that Russell is making you feel the pressure? Or rather, Russell is guarding you? ”

Daniel's interview was clearly biased in favor of the Thunder, and he seems to have been creating a matchup gimmick between Kobe Bryant and Westbrook, which is that Kobe old is no match for Westbrook.

"If I wanted to, I could get 30 points in front of him. However, now I'd rather have 10 assists under his defense. Russell is a good player, but no one can lock me up. Last time I was a little bit out of form and this game I'm going to show that I can play well easily. ”

……

Daniel left satisfied.

His goal has been achieved, and now the whole world is watching the matchup between Westbrook and Kobe, and fans want to see if Kobe Bryant will really put on a good performance against Westbrook, the "new first man in the league", as he himself said.

However, judging by Westbrook's momentum right now, Kobe Bryant will definitely face a very big challenge.

Westbrook has ushered in a big explosion this season, he has frequently put on amazing and life-turning performances at the beginning of the season, he can contribute 30.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, and is the absolute leader of the Thunder. And, looking at the entire league, there is absolutely no one other than Anthony who can threaten Westbrook in terms of individual performance.

Just two days ago, ESPN columnists ranked Westbrook at the top of the season's player list, believing he would be one of the three best players of the season.

Such a view does not raise too many questions, as Westbrook was already the league's best trio last season, and he finished third in the MVP race. And this season, he has brutally rushed to the first place and led the league in scoring.

Obviously, the old Kobe Bryant in transition is not optimistic about Westbrook enough, and his voice is indeed not strong enough.

When Daniel interviewed Westbrook, the guy was full of arrogance: "My goal this season is to be the MVP and be the best player in the league." No matter who the challenge is, I will accept it and give it my all. I like to improve my feelings......"

Westbrook's words were so complacent that he seemed to have forgotten to consider the feelings of his old partner Durant.

Of course, for Westbrook, he is this kind of character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and his momentum is his greatest asset, which allows him to unleash his maximum potential.

Maybe it's not appropriate for him to be the MVP and the first person in the league, but judging from his individual performance this season, he does have the strength. (To be continued.) )
