Chapter 242: Regular Season MVP

Playing at the Lakers' home court, Wang Cannon couldn't ask for it, because compared to playing at home, Wang Cannon still felt that being away from home could stimulate his passion more, especially watching the Lakers fans at home support the Lakers, but they could only helplessly watch the team lose the game.

As for how to win, Wang Cannon is not too worried, the Lakers' interior line is indeed slightly stronger than the Clippers' interior line, but it is only slightly stronger, and once he joins, then the word slightly stronger can be completely removed.

Negro's troubles are not a problem at all in Wang's eyes, because Negro forgot one thing when he first thought about how to deal with the Lakers' interior line, and that is Wang's defensive ability on the inside.

This season, Wang Cannon is mainly responsible for the Clippers' offense, so much so that Negro has forgotten a little about what Wang Cannon is best at.

When Wang Cannon first joined the alliance, he played in the position of power forward! And it's not once or twice that he plays a cameo as a center forward on the field.

Since joining the Clippers, the Clippers have rarely played the interior because of the storage of Griffin and Jordan Jr., but this does not mean that Wang Cannon's interior defense is no longer good, and the 99 interior defense has 99 block steals are not used to watch.

After the second game, Wang Cannon talked to Nigro once.

The conversation was very concise and to the point.

"Coach, in the next game, I'm going to defend Bydam, there are only two things you need to think about, the first one. How to limit Kobe, and second, how to limit Gasol. โ€

Wang Cannon's arrogant words surprised Negro, to be honest, he really didn't believe that Wang Cannon could defend against Bidham, after all, the height gap between Bidham and him was too big, as long as Bydam used a hook on the inside, Wang Cannon couldn't defend it no matter how high he jumped.

But since Wang said so, Negro can only gamble, because he doesn't know what to do, Griffin and Jordan Jr. have too little experience in the playoffs. To put it another way. They are still too young, compared to Bydam, who followed the Lakers in the playoffs at the age of 17, and Gasol, who is in his early 30s.

Since Wang Cannon took the initiative to ask to defend Bydam, the defensive arrangements of the others were much easier. Jordan Jr. went to defend Gasol. Griffin goes to defend Ci Shiping. Anyway, the current speed of Ci Shiping is not as good as before, even if Griffin defends, there will be no big problem.

Kobe Bryant is still defended by Matthews. His defense against Kobe Bryant in these two games has been very good, and apart from Wang Cannon, the entire Clippers team can't find another person who has done such a good job like Matthews.

The only thing that worries Negro is the king cannon.

Looking at Wang Cannon who warmed up, Negro couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, this season, he has witnessed many times Wang Cannon's perverted moments, but no matter how perverted, Wang Cannon is also a person after all, and the defense of the inside line is very consuming, in this case, can Wang Cannon still maintain the high efficiency of the previous offense?

Before the game, there was another hiccup, and that was the presentation of the regular season MVP award.

Previously, Wang Cannon relied on an average of 30 points, 16 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks per game to finally defeat James, Durant and his teammate Paul and others, and was successfully elected as the MVP of the regular season.

To be honest, Wang Cannon is 26 years old this year, compared to Rose, the youngest regular season MVP, this award is not a special thing at his age, like Kobe James and these guys are about the same age when they get the MVP, Wang Cannon as a hanger, winning the regular season MVP is not something to boast about at all.

But to others, things are not so simple.

How many years has it been since Wang Cannon joined the Alliance? Two years!

In just two years, let's see how many accolades he has won.

In the 10-11 season, Wang Cannon was the league's rebounding king, steal king, blocking king, and the best defensive player, the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the MVP of the All-Star Game, and in the playoffs, he also won the Finals MVP.

In the 11-12 season, Wang Cannon is even more sรจ, and the regular season honors have added a scoring champion and regular season MVP honors on the basis of the previous ones, if the Clippers can go all the way to the finals in the playoffs, Wang Cannon will definitely be the winner of the Finals MVP if nothing else, so that Wang Cannon is equivalent to winning all the MVP honors this season, and such a thing has never happened in the entire NBA history.

Many people don't know if the Clippers can get to that point, but if they do, Wang Cannon is likely to become the first person in the league.

Originally, for the awarding of the MVP trophy in the regular season, the most elected Wang Cannon could choose the location, as long as it did not interfere with the game schedule.

Wang Dacang thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know where to hold this award ceremony.

In the end, Wang Cannon had an idea, and said bluntly to the NBA officials: "Don't bother with that, just give it out before the game with the Lakers!" โ€

Wang Cannon said this, and the official personnel of the NBA are not easy to say anything, after all, this kind of thing has not been clearly stipulated, since Wang Cannon has said so, it is just right, and the official staff of the NBA have to run around with Wang Cannon.

As a result, Wang Cannon's regular season MVP award ceremony was simply built on top of the Staples Center Arena.

Although this is the home court of the Lakers, it is also the home court of the Clippers, and it is not a big deal for Wang Cannon to do this, of course, this is in the eyes of others.

In the eyes of Lakers fans, this is naked show-off and provocation.

What's the big deal? Isn't it just a regular season MVP? Is it necessary to provoke us in front of us so blatantly? It's like we didn't take it!

Actually, the regular season MVP is such a thing. The Lakers are really scarce, although Kobe Bryant is once the first person in the league, but the honor in this area is pitiful, in the entire career, Kobe Bryant only won one regular season MVP in 2008, for a player who dominates the entire league, it is indeed a little little, after all, like James, there are already two regular season MVPs, and the number of regular season MVPs of the former basketball god Jordan is as high as 5 times.

Wang Cannon although this is the first time to win the regular season MVP. But considering that he has only been in the league for two years to achieve such results. It's really a little jealous.

When Stern personally handed over the regular season MVP trophy to Wang Cannon, there was quite a lot of applause on the court, of course, these applause did not come from the Lakers' home fans. It's the Clippers fans.

See this kind of scene. Wang Cannon couldn't help but laugh. That's what he was looking for, and yes, he chose to play the award ceremony on the Lakers' home court. The main reason is to disgust the Lakers.

Now, including Lakers fans and Lakers players, they all look unhappy, especially Kobe, who is standing on the sidelines and watching this side, his face is black and scary, although he is a black man himself.

"Congratulations, Wang Cannon." Stern looked at Wang Cannon with a smile on his face.

For Wang Cannon, Stern still likes it very much, although his perverse personality makes people a little headache, but when Yao Ming retired and Chinese players were in the NBA, such a Chinese player suddenly popped up, and the promotion of the NBA in China is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, so even if Wang Cannon himself is a troublemaker, Stern will turn a blind eye, as long as Wang Cannon is not particularly excessive.

For Stern, it makes sense to indulge a player and effectively promote the league as a whole.

"Say something! New Regular Season MVP! After Stern smiled and took a photo with Wang Cannon, he handed the microphone to Wang Cannon.

"Ahem." Wang Cannon didn't shirk either, took the microphone directly, and then coughed twice pretendedly.

Lakers fans immediately scolded.

"Damn! Gotta sรจ what! โ€

"Didn't you just win a regular season MVP? Do you think you're creating a dynasty? What's the big deal? โ€

Wang Dacang looked at the rather chaotic scene at the scene, and his heart was immediately happy, such a scene was completely in his expectation.

It's really fun to do this kind of thing.

"I'm glad I got this award, and here, I want to thank CCTV, American TV, Clippers TV, etc., for taking the wrong manuscript."

Wang Dacang's words made the fans of the Celestial Empire sweat profusely, but the fans at the Staples scene were confused, because they couldn't understand what Wang Dacang said in Chinese just now.

"What is he talking about? Chinese? โ€

"Like, it's like the one on TV."

"Basketball is a five-player game, so winning this regular season MVP is inseparable from the support of the Clippers' teammates and coaches." This time, they all understood what Wang Cannon said, because it was said in English. "In return for their support, I will definitely thank them with an even better example."

Listening to Wang Cannon's well-behaved speech, the fans present were a little different, is this still Wang Cannon? In the past, when Wang Cannon was interviewed, didn't he say something that made people sweat?

Soon, of course, they didn't think so.

"So, I will do my best to win this game, and try to win all of them in the next games, and make it to the Western Conference Finals."

When Wang Cannon said this, the entire Staples Arena fell into a brief silence in an instant.

The smile on Stern's face, who was standing next to Wang Cannon, stiffened a little.

In just a moment, the entire arena exploded again, and then it became extremely noisy.

"What a joke! There must also be a limit to arrogance, and the next game will sweep the Lakers and advance to the finals? Who are you when you are? How dare you say such a big thing? โ€

"Idiot! You'll pay for your words! Kobe Bryant and the Lakers will let you know! Those who say it are responsible for it! โ€

Wang Cannon's short sentence completely aroused the anger of the entire Lakers. Wang Cannon's arrogant attitude made this giant team feel extremely humiliated.

It has always been the Lakers who have swept others, when has the Lakers fallen to the point where they are said to be swept by others?

Fortunately, the Lakers' home court at this time is no longer full of Lakers fans, and nearly half of the seats are filled with Clippers fans, so when Wang Cannon was sprayed wildly by angry Lakers fans, there were many people who supported Wang Cannon.

"Well done! King Cannon! You're right! The Lakers are not our opponent at all, sweeping them can show our strength, losing one game before is already a big mistake, and we must not make mistakes like before in the next game! โ€

Praise like this also filled the stadium.

"Hehehe." Stern laughed dryly, even when he faced this situation after decades of dominating the League. I didn't know what to say for a while. "The game is about to start, play well."

After saying such a dry remark, Stern left in a hurry, in case the Lakers fans were angry. It's not good to throw some mineral water bottles and the like at the king cannon and get yourself involved.

Stern was clearly overthinking. Lakers fans though furious. But still maintaining a certain calm, they also know that in this case. If you want to teach Wang Cannon a lesson, the best way is not to use your fists.

In the NBA, the best solution to the problem is always basketball, and winning or losing can mean a thing.

Instead of doing some crooked and messy things, it is better to start the game as soon as possible, and let the Lakers use the actual table xiร n to teach this guy who speaks wild words a good lesson.

So, soon, the pre-match preparation was over, and the players from both sides stood in the middle of the court ready to jump the ball.

When Bydam stood in the middle circle, he was slightly stunned, because the king cannon was standing opposite him.

"Are you going to jump with me?" Of course, Bydam knows that Wang Cannon, who has a perverted bouncing power, may not be able to jump to basketball, but since Wang Dacang joined the Clippers, he basically doesn't participate in things like jumping ball, after all, the Clippers still have bouncing men like Griffin and Jordan Jr.

Therefore, when he saw Wang Cannon appear in this position, somehow, a bad feeling rose in Bydam's heart.

On the other side, Wang Cannon was also observing Bydam.

It's not once or twice against Bydam, and to be honest, in today's league, Bydam is already the best center second to none, although he is not very good himself.

No way, who makes the current league excellent interior line extremely scarce?

Compared with Noah and Gasol Jr., super blue-collar centers who major in defense and rebounding, Bydam, a center who has studied offense with Abdul-Jabbar for many years, is already quite good.

With good interior defense and status singles, the entire league can't find an interior player like Bydam.

Although Howard is better than Bydam, he is much worse in terms of offensive means, after all, Howard relies more on his body to play.

The Nets' Lopez is a little better than Bydam in terms of offensive means, but he is much worse in rebounding, interior defense, etc.

All in all, Bydam has indeed grown into one of the league's leading centers.

But then again, this so-called one of the league's top centers is seen from the current perspective, if it were changed to the previous era when the four centers were rampant, Bydam might just be an ordinary starting center, that's all.

O'Neal, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, which of these people is not an average of 25+10 per game, rich in offensive ability, and almost insoluble storage? Not to mention Bydam, even Howard, the league's recognized No. 1 center, was probably just a slightly better first-class center in that era.

It's no longer the time when the center rules the league, the small forward is the mainstream of the era.

James, Durant, Anthony, all sorts of small forwards are in charge, and the role of the center has been minimized.

This season, even Wang Cannon has been playing the small forward position. Indeed, when it comes to offense, the current league tactical setup is more suited to the outside than to the inside.

Therefore, if you want to defend Bydam, it will not be particularly difficult.

First of all, Bydam will certainly not have a lot of possession, and secondly, Bydam's offensive range is limited to the inside, as long as it is targeted, it will definitely have a very good effect.

At this time, the referee had already walked between Wang Cannon and Bydam with the ball.

After looking around at Wang Cannon and Bydam, he talked about some precautions for the game, and then threw the basketball into the air.

Wang Cannon and Bydam stared at the basketball, jumping up at the same time almost at the moment when the basketball rose to its highest point.

However, the bounce of the king cannon is obviously much better than that of Bydam, although the baydam is much higher than the king cannon, but the king cannon still preemptively preempts the basketball to the rear.

Paul received the jump ball and drove it toward half court, and at this point, Game 3 of the Clippers vs. Lakers series of the playoffs officially began.

On the defensive end, Wang Cannon is ready to defend Bydam, but on the offensive end, the Lakers are still responsible for defending Wang Cannon, although Ci Shiping can't limit Wang Cannon at all, but the Lakers can't find other suitable players to mark Wang Cannon.

Ci Shiping is the main defense, and others can help defend at any time, which is already the best way for the Lakers to deal with Wang Cannon.

As for the pack-and-pack tactics, they basically gave up after Paul made a couple of excellent open balls. (To be continued......)
