Chapter 201: ESPN's Cohei Nature
After the game, the Lakers players rested in the hotel for a night, and the next afternoon, they flew back to Los Angeles.
The main reason for this arrangement is that at the end of the regular season, the players need to relax to relieve some of the pressure.
After all, it's definitely beneficial for players to be able to maintain a relaxed mood for a while before the playoffs begin.
Of course, because of Chu Xuan's special arrangement, the players didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they just relaxed in a nightclub in San Antonio, after all, they didn't completely get to the time of relaxation, behind them, there were more cruel and fierce battlefields waiting for them.
When the plane landed in Los Angeles, there were thousands of fans to pick up the plane, such a scene made Chu Xuan extremely surprised, he really didn't expect the fans to do anything, and the formation was still so huge.
"It's put a little bit of pressure on me all of a sudden, and if we don't get what we want in the playoffs, I'm afraid I'm going to feel sorry for these passionate fans."
Chu Xuan muttered to himself, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
However, in turn, his heart is also more motivated, and he has been encouraged to a certain extent.
In the NBA, fans have the habit of picking up the plane, which is a long-standing tradition in the NBA, usually to celebrate winning a championship. Of course, sometimes a similar situation can arise when a team can get a super-rookie.
In any case, this huge situation is a great encouragement to the Lakers players and coaching team, and their hearts are extremely satisfied.
Of course, it can also be said that the rare pick-up by Lakers fans this time definitely reflects the degree of recognition that the Lakers have received this season.
Obviously, fans should be very happy with the Lakers' record so far.
59 wins, this is the highest consecutive win in the season achieved by the Lakers after the 08~09 season.
And this record is naturally extremely weighty. After all, in the NBA, there aren't many teams that can play close to 60 wins. Moreover, in recent years, the record of the first place in the west is only this grade.
So, no matter how you look at it, the Lakers' record this year is very good.
*******
As the dust settles on the regular season, the media/pundits/fans are starting to pay attention to some of the awards this season, as well as predictions for the playoffs.
In the west, the Thunder was the most mentioned, and the double starlight was so bright that the others seemed a little overshadowed in front of them.
And the only one who can match or even better than the two of them is LeBron James in the East.
This season, because of Wade's reimbursement in the second half of the season, James led the team forward alone and played an unprecedented individual performance, it can be said that this season is the best season James has played, there is no one.
And, there is no doubt that James has undoubtedly locked up the MVP award this season with his explosive individual performance and the Heat's No. 1 record in the league.
James is still the first person in the league, and after him, there is Dewey, and this is everyone's opinion after the end of the season.
The strongest three in the league, this is not disputed.
After them, Bryant is the most talked-about player and the most popular.
This season, Kobe Bryant is 36 years old, which is the twilight of a player. In the case of a major injury, Kobe Bryant was able to play a 20+5+4 individual performance, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
In terms of individual performance alone, Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly still one of the best scoring guards in the league.
And if you add the age of 36 and a history of major injuries, this "one" should undoubtedly be removed.
If you add to this the Lakers' 59-win streak in a single season and 31-game winning streak, then Kobe's achievements are indescribable.
Many believe that Kobe Bryant is the fourth-best player this season, behind James and the Thunder.
Obviously, such a Kobe Bryant should be one of the biggest contenders for MVP.
Of course, even though James has almost locked up the MVP, Kobe's final ranking on the MVP list is undoubtedly an affirmation of Kobe's efforts this season.
Therefore, Lakers fans very much hope that Kobe Bryant will get a very high MVP ranking, and some people even think that this season's MVP trophy is not an exaggeration for Kobe.
At the end of the season, Sports Illustrated and Time magazine gave the cover of this issue to James and Kobe Bryant respectively, which is also a great proof.
"23vs24, their competition seems to continue. Moreover, with the Lakers' record recovery and successful replacement, they will definitely appear on the stage of the Finals in the next few years. ”
ESPN summed up the season by saying that the two men had accomplished a fetish.
This can also reflect how influential the two people are in the hearts of fans in this era.
And, how many people are expecting to see Janko face off.
Obviously, if this battle cannot become a reality, then it will definitely be the greatest regret of this era.
And judging from the current situation, it seems that this scenario may become a reality this year, although it is too difficult.
However, for the fans, the longing is of course essential.
In this anticipation, Kobe Bryant is more likely to be considered the fourth best player in the league this year.
However, there are also many people who feel that Griffin, who played 26+10 in a single season, should be the fourth person.
Obviously, in this case, whether Kobe Bryant is TOP4 or TOP5 is also a big controversy.
At this time, ESPN's ranking caused an uproar.
"Through the comparison of performances this season and the contribution to the team, the best five-man group in the league should be James/Westbrook/Durant/Griffin/Harden. Then it should be Howard/Irving/Anthony/Curry/Leonard. ”
Suddenly, the whole world erupted in discussions, and fans frantically commented on the irrationality of this ranking, obviously, the most reasonable explanation should be that ESPN's Kehei nature began to attack again.
And Magic Johnson criticized mercilessly: "No Kobe Bryant in the top five? Not even in the top ten? This is definitely the most **** ranking. ”
When Chu Xuan saw the news, he couldn't help but laugh disdainfully, Kobe's contribution this season is definitely the biggest in his career, and his role is not something that can be simply reflected by data.
There is no doubt that Chu Xuan is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and he is full of thoughts about Kobe Bryant.
"Kobe Bryant's 10th outlet? Apparently I'm used to it. But, then again, they did a good job this time, and Kobe Bryant finished the season with a few dozen spots higher than he did at the start of the season. Maybe say thank you. @kobebeyant right? Chu Xuan wrote on Twitter. (To be continued.) )
