"Past games have taught us that nothing is impossible. We just need to win Game 6 and the series is back on the starting line. ”

Three days later, Chu Xuan encouraged the players.

"Like Cleveland, who would have thought that this team would make the playoffs and even play the Kings against the Heat? The playoffs are the most uncertain tournaments. The fact that the impossible is happening is giving us great inspiration on how to be confident. ”

While speaking, Chu Xuan took the fifth game of the No. 12 Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavaliers and the Heat as an example, which was a game that was talked about. Because in this game, the Cavaliers cornered the Heat, relying on James's 51 points and Bosh's 38 points, and finally the Heat got lucky.

Although the Cavaliers are still honored, because for this team, no one thought that it would be able to play this role with the Heat.

According to the predictions before the start of the series, experts unanimously felt that the Heat would let the Cavaliers win at most 1 game, but the Cavaliers once led the Heat 2-1, creating an unimaginable magic.

Part of Chu Xuan's motivation and self-confidence also comes from this, he feels that as long as he doesn't give up, there will be hope for everything, and even miracles will happen.

"Although the Thunder won three games in a row in the series, they proved not to be terrible. In the last game, we allowed them to score only 67 points, which is the best indication that we can still do it again. So, let's move on, and the glory of victory will bloom in every corner of Oklahoma. ”

……

As soon as the Lakers arrived at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, they felt the hostility there.

Fans surrounded the bus, and some people even attacked the Lakers players with excessive verbal expression, in a vain attempt to disturb their normal minds.

However, how could the people who had already gone through Chu Xuan's countless ideological work be affected by these little tricks.

As a result, in the photos taken by onlookers, the facial expressions of the Lakers players are surprisingly consistent, that is, full of calm and disdain, as well as strong confidence.

"Occupy their locker rooms first, then their stadiums, and plant the victory flag here."

Green, who is currently known as the "Big Mouth" to the outside world, began to shout again.

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Obviously, no matter whether Green is flamboyant or arrogant, what he said is indeed everyone's inner thoughts.

"Okay, don't bother with that, get out of here and get some rest in the locker room." Chu Xuan reminded.

The players were a bit tired from the bus ride, and it was clear that getting in the best shape was the priority.

***********

Locker room.

The players were changing their gear, and some of the players who were resting barefoot in front of the locker after changing their jerseys were playing with their phones.

At that moment, Green suddenly shouted.

"Wow, the MVP results have come in, James has been elected MVP, the fifth MVP in six years!"

The sound immediately grabbed everyone's attention.

After Chu Xuan heard it, he immediately took out his mobile phone and looked at it.

Sure enough, the media has already written about the results.

On May 14, according to the NBA's official selection results, LeBron James of the Miami Heat got 121 first-place votes and became the first unanimous MVP in history. At the same time, he also set a new record by winning the regular season MVP five times in six years.

In this MVP ranking, Russell Westbrook is in second place, Kevin Durant is third, James Harden is fourth, and Blake Griffin is fifth...... Kobe Bryant was eighth.

Considering the performance of the MVPs, there is no doubt that this is the best MVP battle in history. ”

After reading the MVP rankings, Chu Xuan couldn't help but look at Kobe.

This season, Kobe Bryant's performance is still star-level, and the Lakers have a 59-23 record second only to the Heat.

However, in the selection of MVP, Kobe Bryant was only ranked eighth, which made Chu Xuan a little dissatisfied.

However, Kobe's expression was quite flat, he was smiling, but there was something bitter in that smile.

For the origin of this bitterness, Chu Xuan can understand.

You must know that James has always been compared with Kobe, and he was once regarded as the first person in the league, which is naturally what Kobe Bryant does not want to see.

So the two of them have been fighting in secret, so you rarely see any intersection between the two of them.

Of course, in front of the public, the two of them are still relatively friendly, but that is just the appearance.

There is no doubt that two people who are rivals cannot be good friends.

And in his entire career, Kobe Bryant currently has only one MVP.

However, James, who is less than 30 years old, has already won his fifth MVP trophy.

This is completely an achievement that crushes Kobe.

So it's not hard to imagine that Kobe Bryant won't be in a good mood.

Everyone talked about James being elected MVP, but Kobe Bryant didn't say a word, lowered his head and wore socks calmly.

Chu Xuan sighed slightly, came to him and sat down.

"Kobe, the level of status does not lie in the present, everything is determined at the end. You still have a chance to chase your sixth championship ring, but he may not be able to do it for the rest of his life. So, I want you to be calm. ”

Kobe Bryant looked at Chu Xuan, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, to be honest, he once felt that he was inferior to James, but his paranoid personality was unwilling to admit it, he was not convinced, he wanted to fight, this is his character.

"I know, I don't care what happens to him, at this age I'm just going to play the last few seasons. After all, even Michael, at this age, it is difficult to get such an honor again. Bryant said calmly.

"Kobe, I don't think you can think like that, doesn't history always have someone to make it? Nothing is impossible, maybe next season, you can get the second MVP of your career. Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "Moreover, it is true that he is the MVP this season, but we are completely capable of defeating the MVP." It's definitely the most wonderful feeling. ”

When Kobe Bryant heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, he can beat James, judging from the current situation, as long as the Lakers rush out of the West, it is completely possible, after all, the Heat Big Three only have James and Bosh left.

"Chu, you're right, this is really a very good target." Bryant had a small smile on his face.

Chu Xuan smiled and was noncommittal. (To be continued.) )
