Chapter 847: The Fourth Regular Season MVP
Aldridge did not live up to his expectations, Rose's pressing was seen by him as a rush, he immediately lifted up and stuck Rose, just when Aldridge came up to stand still, Lillard dribbled the ball and suddenly accelerated, and he decisively broke through behind Aldridge.
This is the block, and then it starts to be dismantled, Lillard's breakthrough attracts the attention of Caron Butler, Lillard does not give the latter a chance to pester him, and quickly breaks forward with the ball, Aldridge shakes off Caron Butler, immediately turns back and jams Rose, and then moves from the wing to the basket, ready to receive the pass.
In this way, the power of the pick-and-roll comes out, and within a small range, the opponent of the Trail Blazers is in a dilemma: if Kaloon Butler, who was eyeing Aldridge at the beginning, runs to defend Lillard and does so now, then Lillard can pass the ball to Aldridge, who is much higher than Ross and can use his mid-range shooting skills to prepare for scoring. And with Rose still behind him, he can easily score a layup, and if Charon Butler still has an eye on Aldridge, the Trail Blazers have more opportunities, and Lillard's mid-to-long-range shooting can definitely kill the Pelicans crying.
Lillard passed the ball to Aldridge, who paused slightly after getting the ball, stabilized his upper body and made a jumper, scoring two points accurately.
Rose gave Li Feng a look, and the latter wiped the sweat on his hands, ran up and whispered after serving:
"My medium and long-range investment may not be so deterrent."
Rose rolled his eyes and said:
"You don't know how much more powerful your advantage is than that guy, so why bother with mid-pitch? I won't let you cover me in a high position, after blocking it, you will directly attack the basket, fly directly, the higher the better! ”
Li Feng suddenly realized, Rose suddenly accelerated, but after arriving in the front court, he did not attack rashly, and he poured the ball between him and Thornton and Kaloon Butler. Finally got the ball again, and by this time he was in the penalty area on the wing.
In this process, Ross was waiting for Li Feng to settle down, and when he saw the latter standing firm under the basket, the muscles in his legs began to tense.
Lillard followed Rose vigilantly, Li Feng suddenly rushed up and directly stuck Lillard, Rose did not run to the basket like Lillard, but retreated horizontally, looking up at the hoop while retreating.
Robin Lopez was in a hurry. You can only run out of the box to make up for Rose.
At this moment, Stotts, who had been standing on the sidelines, suddenly changed his face, and it could almost be said that his face was like ashes. Van Gundy was the opposite, he stood up with a fist and shouted:
"Raised by a son of a bitch, just do it, you two stinky boys are a fucking natural pair!"
Robin Lopez exited the restricted area, the ball in Rose's hand flew to the hoop, and Li Feng shook off Lillard and rushed into the restricted area. Like a rocket fired, he leaned his shoulders sideways into the sky, his feet on the floor and flew up, and there was no obstacle in front of him after catching the ball. No second word, buckle fuck!
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the hoop began to shake violently.
Stotts yelled at Batum next to him:
"What are you looking at? Don't let Lillard go against that damn New Orleanian, you go defend. You go and keep an eye on him so that he can't catch the ball! ”
Batum nodded hurriedly, but he was sneering in his heart. Didn't you take Lillard and Aldridge to rebuild, why do you need me to help every time!
No wonder Batum is selfish, he has the NBA's top physical qualities, and he also has a top ball quotient, and his ability to attack and defend is even more to the Trail Blazers, he is cultivated as a core, but since Scott drafted Lillard, his status has been greatly reduced both on and off the court, and he is no longer less than a day or two.
Even if Batum made his own shot, Rose still mixed near the inside line, this time he didn't pass the ball, Stotts is a ruthless character, and he saw the only flaw in this tactic at a glance, that is, Li Feng wants to fall into position and Rose wants to pass the ball before cooperating, as long as Batum follows him and lets him pass the ball and then there is no chance to return to receive the ball, then this set of tactics is over.
The problem is that Rose is one of the top point guards in the NBA, and he can still get to the basket without passing the ball and breaking through with the ball on his own.
Li Feng came out again to block Batum, Rose broke through the vacancy, Robin Lopez was stunned, he was in a hurry and didn't know whether to go out to make up for the defense or stick to the penalty area.
Rose helped him make a choice, and after pulling out the vacant space, he immediately put away the ball and was about to jump, Robin Lopez subconsciously went out to make up for the defense
The ball shot, "Boom!" With a bang, Robin Lopez looked back and saw a No. 0 jersey fluttering behind him like a battle flag!
"32 defense, let's change tactics, OK? Listen to me, don't care who breaks through, who stands in the box, listen to my boys, AK stands in the low post of the penalty area, Robin Lopez is on the left wing of the penalty area, Aldridge is on the right wing of the box, Lillard and Myers are out, and they can rotate at any time outside, understand?"
Stotts quickly drew lines on the tactical board, sweat on his forehead.
In just one quarter, the Pelicans outscored the Trail Blazers by 15 points, and they scored 34 points, compared to the Trail Blazers' measly 19 points.
In these 34 minutes, Li Feng and Rose teamed up to score 24 points, and the former almost slammed the Trail Blazers rim crookedly, and the one who blocked and played was a success.
After a short break, the players returned to the court, and Lillard organized the offense, which was organized and ended with a long-range shot from Batum.
Rose smiled and jogged to the three-point line, his body bent to break through, Batum hurriedly spread his legs, but at this time, Rose shook his wrist and passed the ball to Li Feng under the basket, and then he ran inside.
Batum pushed him hard, Li Feng himself took the ball to the high post, he hit Batum, and the latter subconsciously wanted to take the ball in Li Feng's hand. Li Feng naturally knew his intentions, he also put the ball away while hitting Batum, and then threw it forward, Rose who got rid of Batum just received the ball, and after getting the ball, Rose ran with the ball for two seconds, he crashed directly into Robin Lopez's arms, blocking Robin Lopez's way, and then passed the ball back, Li Feng got the ball again, he was on the top arc of the penalty area, was in the middle, faced the hoop and shook his wrist softly, and easily sent the ball into the hoop.
"It's that simple."
Li Feng smiled and said to Robin Lopez:
"You have to work harder. Boy, I haven't used my strength, why did you fall? ”
Lillard was not convinced, he sneered:
"Do you think that's a pick-and-roll? Do you think it's that simple? Since you want to play this, then I'm going to open your eyes! ”
The Trail Blazers players scattered, Aldridge still came up and prepared to cooperate with Lillard in a pick-and-roll, Rose was blocked, and just as Lillard was about to take the next step, a huge figure enveloped him, and he looked up. saw Li Feng's smiling face full of bad intentions.
Aren't you a pick-and-roll? Aren't you playing alone on your own? There is a kind of you who come by yourself, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, Li Feng seems to have met the big bad wolf of Little Red Riding Hood, and directly surrounded the unlucky Lillard.
Lillard's rapid change of direction, he couldn't get rid of Li Feng, who was strong defensively, he wanted to pass the ball to Aldridge, but according to the tactics, Aldridge ran too far forward, and his vision was blocked by Li Feng, and he kept stepping back to find Aldridge. As a result, he went backward and Li Feng also went backwards, and his speed and agility were not much inferior to him.
There was no way, Lillard could only pass the ball to Batum behind him angrily, and he didn't dare to throw the ball high to the basket. Because he was afraid of being cut off by Li Feng.
But the worry still appeared, although Li Feng did not cut off his ball, but Rose rushed out from behind Li Feng and broke the ball that Lillard had just passed. The body slumped down and rushed forward like a fast horse. Fortunately, Batum was fierce enough, and he preemptively caught up with Rose, waving his arms to entangle him. The speed that forced Rose had to be slowed down. Rose changed direction so hard that his knee was almost out of shape, and as a result, Lillard came up from behind, making it difficult for him to dribble.
But Rose didn't care, he kept messing around, and when Li Feng reached the low position, he immediately jumped up and passed the ball over.
After Li Feng got the ball, he smashed it into the hoop, Aldrie screamed strangely and wanted to stop him, but Li Feng rode him, let him reach out and grab his arm, dance his arms hard, and hang Aldridge's arm to make a strong buckle.
"If this continues, Li Feng will become a general."
Van Gundy lamented, this was not his intention, he wanted a forbidden area king, not a dunk king. However, Li Feng's attack method is very useful, not only the successful dunk but also a foul on Aldridge, after successfully scoring the ball, Batum's long shot just hit is equivalent to a waste of effort, and the score gap is still as big as ever. Matthews broke through with the ball, and Arenas was completely shaken by him, and even his pants were almost taken away. After passing Arenas, Matthews went straight into the penalty area, saw Li Feng, who was making up, he dribbled a shot to deceive the other side to get closer to him, and then immediately passed the ball to Robin Lopez.
Robin Lopez was moved by this pass, what is called a brother, this is called a brother! This pass is too timely, as long as you come to a coaxing dunk, the bad impact of Li Feng's poor defense before will drop a lot.
Robin Lopez glanced at Li Feng out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the latter was very close to him, holding the ball firmly on his waist with both hands, and he was about to make a violent dunk posture when he jumped up.
A big slap came up, and Rose rushed to Robin Lopez's side with lightning speed, slapped the basketball in the latter's hand hard, and directly dropped the racket. As the former leader of the Bad Boy Army, you must not underestimate Rose's ruthlessness.
The referee blew him for a thug foul, but it didn't make up for the damage that Robin Lopez suffered, Robin Lopez felt like he didn't feel his hands anymore, he raised his hand behind his back to his eyes, and saw that there were five clear finger marks on it, and it was swollen!
"Damn, this guy is really rough and thick-skinned, my hands hurt so much."
Ross grinned to himself, Li Feng hugged his neck and said:
"You're so soft-hearted, man, if you hadn't given him that slap, he would have been concussed by my big hat if he jumped and dunked!"
The two laughed at the same time, Robin Lopez almost blew his lungs, and what made him even more angry was that Rose's slap was really hard enough to affect his shooting touch, and he didn't hit two free throws steadily.
Li Feng grabbed the rebound, he threw it to Rose, reached out to ask for the ball after entering the inside line, and turned around to the ball two times in a row and took the ball from the left wing of the penalty area to the right wing of the penalty area, Robin Lopez followed him with a fire in his heart, but Li Feng suddenly took a step back, and then a small figure appeared in front of Robin Lopez.
Rose took Li Feng's pass and quickly dribbled under his hips in front of Robin Lopez while shaking his shoulders to break through, Robin Lopez's flexibility has always been his shortcoming. It's still possible to keep up with Li Feng, but being shaken by Ross like this, he is a little dizzy. At this time, Rose easily picked his wrist, Robin Lopez couldn't block it, and watched the basketball fall into the hoop.
Stotts could no longer sit on the bench and watch the play, so he decisively called a timeout and gritted his teeth at Miles Leonard beside him:
"You go on, three people block and help Lillard and Aldridge!"
Miles Leonard was full of ambition, patting his hard chest and running the train with his mouth full:
"Don't worry. See if I don't beat them into meatloaf! ”
Stotts was silent, he felt that it seemed to be a mistake for him to change people like this, Robin Lopez was a doer despite his limited ability, but this Miles Leonard seemed to be loyal, but in fact it didn't seem to be very reliable. Miles Leonard Genbong did not have a chance to play against Li Feng, Robin Lopez went off the field and Aldridge went to the inside, Stotts had high hopes for this proud disciple, and he expected Aldridge to use his strength against Li Feng. But the gap between the two is too big.
Rose passed the ball more often, and Li Feng didn't suffer at all against Aldridge, who desperately squeezed the former to push him away with just a pout, and then turned back and awkwardly hooked up for the layup. Hit!
Robin Lopez went off the court, and the Trail Blazers had another shortcoming, that is, rebounding. Robin Lopez is not very flexible, but his height, reach, and strength are there. If you can't beat Li Feng, you can disgust him, what about Aldridge?
Arenas misses a shot from distance, and Aldridge bends over. Li Feng had already jumped up, grabbed the rebound and threw it to Thornton, who hit a jumper.
Rose broke through the basket and threw the iron, Aldridge hurriedly jumped, Li Feng jumped at the same time, but grabbed the rebound above his head, and then passed back to Rose, who threw again and hit!
Stotts:
“……”
Porter, who was hell-bent on a miracle, led the Trail Blazers to a crushing defeat in New Orleans, and it was not at all clear from this game that the two teams had been inextricably separated not long ago.
Derrick Rose had a total of 25 points, 16 assists and seven steals in the game, beating Lillard, who was opposite him, and Millet had only 12 points, six assists and eight turnovers.
And Li Feng played the inside dominance of his rookie period in this game, scoring 33 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists, 7 blocks and 5 steals of 5*5 counts, which shocked the league again.
The Portland Trail Blazers were sent to fish by the Pelicans 4-1, and at this time, when the second round was about to begin, the MVP, the most important award of the regular season, was released.
Li Feng has a very strong opponent this year, not LeBron James, not Chris Paul, but Carmelo Anthony.
The Heat's record this year is not good, and Paul is not as good as Anthony, and there is that in the first round just completed, the Nets swept the opponent strongly, and Anthony's table is no worse than Li Feng.
Although he is the MVP of the regular season, the recent table xiàn still affects the current vote to a greater or lesser extent.
The regular season MVP is voted for by two basketball journalists, sports magazine editors, and game commentators from across North America, each of whom holds a vote to select in turn the five players they consider to be the best players in the regular season schedule this season.
Among them, 10 points will be added to the first ballot, 7 points will be added to the second ballot, 6 points will be added to the third ballot, - points will be added to the fourth ballot, and l points will be added to the fifth ballot. Since the ballot was submitted before the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs, it is completely impossible for the player's first round of the playoffs to be considered by voters.
Li Feng or Anthony, who will help the team more? It's hard to say who is more qualified to be the MVP, and experts originally felt that the dispute between Li Feng and James last season was worrying enough, but this season it was even better.
In addition, Anthony has changed his style of play this season, with 51 double-doubles, including four triple-doubles, and the Nets have been brought up by Anthony this year.
Anthony's personal performance is not bad, averaging 28.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, and the key thing is that he has 4.3 assists and 1.7 blocks, so Anthony surpassed LeBron James at once.
Needless to say, Li Feng has a soft hand with three doubles and two doubles, and his average points per game are only 23.8 points because the team has too many scorers, but he averages 10.5 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 4.7 steals and 3.8 blocks per game. Steals and blocks are the first in the league.
The selection of Anthony as MVP seems to be a novelty, and it is even more natural to choose Li Feng as MVP.
But the final result came out, and Li Feng still won very thrillingly, he received 6 first votes and 6 second votes, for a total of 489 points. Anthony received five first-place votes, which was almost the same as Li Feng, but on the second-hand ballot, he only had four.
NHA officials commented on this:
"Li Feng is a great international player, he is one of the players who has gone the furthest on the path of NHA globalization, and he has always been committed to expanding the game of basketball to the world, which is amazing. In addition, Li Feng's all-round skills can be used in any position, and he is dominant in any position, and he is an unprecedented great. As for his ability, we don't think there is any need to say more, because he is definitely a well-deserved core of the team and the cornerstone of winning the championship."
Li Feng was elected as the MVP of the regular season for four consecutive years, which has attracted the crazy pursuit of major media and fans. It also caused huge controversy, and soon after the news of Li Feng's award was officially announced, voices of praise and doubts began to pour in from all directions. The whole of China is applauding Li Feng, while Miami and Brooklyn are showing injustice to James and Anthony, and the playoffs, which have been in the spotlight, have become extremely lively at this time.
The New York Times was the first to write an article praising Li Feng's well-deserved election, saying that the Tyrannosaurus rex had brought an incredible performance over the past year. One season for the Pelicans' new lineup to finish first in the league, he has been able to play any position and brought countless classic games.
Li Feng's four consecutive MVPs are enough to go down in history, and the MVP is the best praise for Li Feng's performance last year.
The Washington Post called Li Feng's award a great miracle and an indelible contribution to the NBA, and the reporter said:
"Before the awards began, many people thought that Anthony was more likely to win, after all, Li Feng already had three, and Li Feng was still young. At the same time, Anthony's table is not bad, and he is also the biggest favorite before the game, but in the end, Li Feng still won, which shows that Li Feng has been recognized by everyone. The Tyrannosaurus rex has become an idol for fans all over the world. ”
Today is a festival for Chinese fans, after experiencing the sadness of the London Olympics without Li Feng, Li Feng won the MVP and simply pulled the Chinese fans to heaven, and it is said that countless Li Feng's fans rushed to the streets and sang to the sky that night. Be in ecstasy. Even crazier fans took firecrackers to the streets in defiance of the ban, causing quite a few fires.
The Chinese media has even exhausted the praise of Li Feng, almost like a text. We sang the praises of our great leaders. "Weekly" said that Li Feng is the embodiment of magic, Li Feng will never have a limit, Li Feng's ball skills are more powerful than Michael Jordan, his basketball has crossed the limit of human beings, more aliens than aliens, Anthony and James lost to Li Feng is not wronged at all.
"Sports Weekly" touted even more boundless. What they said made Li Feng himself get goosebumps, and the reporter of "Sports Weekly" said:
"Being able to compete with Li Feng for MVP is actually an affirmation of Carmelo Anthony, it's not that he's not good enough, but that Li Feng is too perfect!"
Of course, not everyone has compliments, and Miami is the most angry.
The Miami Sports Newspaper attacked:
"The selection of MVP is irrational, many Chinese reporters do not know much about the NBA, just from the media hearsay, feel that Li Feng is a Chinese, but made such a result is very magical, and then selected him, in fact, this selection is more based on irrational impressions, in the future MVP selection will become unfounded, unconvincing, and then lose charm.
The headline of the "Miami Evening News" was "Li Feng's award is an insult to the fans", and the newspaper's reporter said sensationally:
"It must be admitted that there is suspense in the announcement of the MVP this time, but the suspense is very small, but the final result shows that this is the biggest suspense in the MVP selection, the Pelicans' record is indeed higher, but the record is not an absolute value, they ignore the efforts of LeBron, a native American, which is very unfair."
