Chapter 254: Guilt
Chapter 254: Guilt
When is the day of the "little emperor" LeBron James' ascension to the top?
Many people can't answer this question, there is no doubt that LeBron James is now gradually approaching his prime, he is becoming more and more versatile, and the jokes that he was able to play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position now seem to be a reality.
The first person in the East seems to be only one hand's distance away for LeBron James today, and perhaps as long as LeBron James raises his tiptoes a little higher, he can easily touch this position.
Even if there are famous superstars such as Paul Pierce, "Warcraft" Howard, and Dwyane Wade in the East in the league, they seem to be a little worse than LeBron James in terms of personal ability.
Today's LeBron James is indeed getting closer and closer to the position of the first person in the league, last year, the "little emperor" LeBron James won the first regular season MVP trophy in his career, along the way, the opponents defeated, what is the strong opponent such as Kobe Bryant and "Queen Bee" Chris Paul?
The regular season MVP not only considers the player's personal data, but also tests the player's ability to lead the team, the latter of which largely determines whether the superstar can step into the regular season MVP!
The playoffs are in the middle of the second round, and at this time, the major awards of the regular season have also been released, and only the award of the regular season MVP has just been announced.
Even if this result is a certain amount of speculation and prediction in everyone's minds, when the regular season MVP candidate is announced, the most jubilant city in the United States must be Cleveland in the east.
"Little Emperor" LeBron James once again reached the top, and he won the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year, becoming the second after Steve Nash. There is a player who has won the MVP for a second time, and after such a gold-rich trophy is in his hands, it at least means that LeBron James has the qualification to be inducted into the Hall of Fame after retiring in the future.
However, LeBron James, who is far away in Cleveland, is not too happy, and he is still in a bad mood. In this year's playoffs, it seems that he will sink again, this time, in the hands of the Celtics!
This kind of taste is very uncomfortable, in the weak East, there are not many teams that have the strength to compete for the championship, just one or two teams a year, in such an environment, LeBron James can be said to have grown up extremely quickly. He became one of the superstars in the league today.
However, it's useless to be a superstar who doesn't win the championship!
In the early stages of his career, the Wizards and Pistons stopped him, and now when he defeated those two mountain-like opponents and planned to attack the championship, he found that he had a stronger and more spicy opponent in front of him.
LeBron James woke up from a championship dream again, and he found, at least in the East. At the small forward position, "Truth" Pierce is still an opponent he must face. Powerful and terrifying.
At this point, LeBron James found that at this moment, there was still no one around him who could give him substantial help, which was no different from in 07.
Opposite. At the home target center in Minnesota, it was crowded with Timberwolves fans, wearing uniform team blue and white cultural jerseys, holding slogans, and shouting loudly in the arena:
"Victory. Refuse to sweep, this is Minnesota! ”
"Bruce, please lead us to victory!"
"Love, grab more rebounds and get the Phoenix guys back!"
…………
In the arena, many old Timberwolves fans have tears in their eyes, and some female fans even put on makeup and cry, most of them are local Minnesota fans, and many of them watched the game from the time of the "Wolf King" Garnett.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have a short history, but they are a resilient team, they also have a glorious history, they have also reached the Western Conference Finals, and the team has also had regular season MVP-level players in their history, which are all missed by Timberwolves fans!
Now, the team has reached the most difficult time, falling behind 0-3, and if they can't win the next game, they will be swept out by the Phoenix Suns, how can this result not make these Timberwolves fans uncomfortable.
"Bruce, tonight may be the last victory, I only have one request, you let go of the fight and give full play to your strength!" Timberwolves head coach Frank listened to the cheers of the audience and closed his eyes and said.
Frank understands that the series is down 0-3, and in such a dangerous situation, the Minnesota Timberwolves want to win four games in a row, and the probability of reversing the promotion is too small.
Looking through the history of the league, there is no 0-3 down, and the strength to reverse the promotion, reasonable people understand that the Minnesota Timberwolves have stepped on the edge of the cliff with one foot, and the Phoenix people only need to push it lightly, and the young Timberwolves will fall off the cliff.
However, Frank Vogel is very open, he is a rookie head coach, this season under his coaching, the Minnesota Timberwolves jumped from the Western Conference to the playoff powerhouse, and also completed the black seven feat in the first round, leading the team to the playoffs, in which his coaching ability cannot be erased.
At this moment, he felt a trace of guilt in his heart for Li Shihao, this young disciple, whom he had met when he was in New York, had thought that this time of teaching would allow Li Shihao to embark on the path of transformation that he idealized.
Unfortunately, the plan can't keep up with the changes, there are too many variables in a whole season, and there are countless strong opponents encountered, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics, each of the strong teams is not a good match.
For this reason, Li Shihao's changes in the team system are also constantly changing, and it has to be said that Li Shihao has paid a lot.
Stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant were given great tolerance by the team in their rookie season, and even in order to cultivate the core of the team, at the expense of the team's record, let the core players who were still rookies brush up on the data, and use a lot of shooting rights to exercise the strength of the players.
In this, Timberwolves head coach Frank can be said to have a share of responsibility, it is he who formulated the team's tactical policy, and Timberwolves head coach Frank has a guilt in his heart.
After all, the relationship between them is not an ordinary coaching relationship, but a mentor and a friend.
