Chapter 333: 4:1! Win the championship and win the cup!
This game is the last swan song of Leonard and Menglong, and all Leonard scored 50 points under Wang Feng's full defense, but still failed to help the team win this game, because Wang Feng scored 51 points in the whole game, and it was also under Leonard's full defense.
Although Leonard scored 50 points more shots than Wang Feng, but in terms of results, the two really did not be able to clearly distinguish between the superior and the inferior.
A top superstar is a top superstar, Wang Feng also has to admire, when Leonard is full of strength and is in a hot state, even if he is blessed with multiple badges, he can't completely suppress it.
But when the two are tied, the difference in the strength of their teammates is revealed.
Jimmy, who shot 9-of-15 from the field and scored 22 points efficiently. Butler became the third-highest scorer in the game and the only player outside of the two to score more than 20 points.
It was the addition of Butler's fighting power that made the Lakers slightly ahead of Menglong in terms of total points to achieve the final victory.
After the whistle blew at the end of the game, Leonard looked very unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do, pretending to smile and hug Wang Feng to congratulate him, and then hurriedly left the field and returned to the locker room.
At this moment, Leonard must have a lot of thoughts in his heart, and the loss in the finals may also make him realize that he can't win the championship alone, and with the flapping of butterfly wings, history may change again, after all, leading the team to win the championship and losing the finals are two completely different experiences for a player.
……
"Congratulations to the Lakers, who defeated Menglong 4:1 and won the 2018-19 NBA championship!"
"This is the 17th championship trophy for the Los Angeles Lakers since the establishment of the team, and so far, the Lakers have officially tied with the Boston Celtics in the total number of championships, and they are tied for the top spot in the league with 17 championships!"
In the Huaguo studio, the narrator was even more smiling and overjoyed.
"At this moment, the Lakers are chanting MVP all over the court, we all know who they are shouting, although they have set new records countless times before, but I still want to say here that Wang Feng, who led the team to win the championship and is about to win the finals FMVP, is the first Chinese player in the history of China to win the FMVP award! Once again, he made new history! ”
Although the FMVP award has not yet been officially announced, there is actually no big suspense.
In the 5 games he played in the finals, Wang Feng contributed an average of 41.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.4 steals per game, especially in the final G5 game, scoring 51 points strongly, like a god!
Looking at the history of the NBA, there are only eight players who have scored 50+ points in the Finals (including Wang Feng and Leonard), and this honor is quite golden.
In the entire Lakers team, except for Wang Feng, who averaged 41.6 points per game, the highest scorer was Butler, who averaged 20.4 points per game, and then players such as Ingram, Kuzma, Lopez, Rondo and Rose did not even average 15 points per game.
In this case, if the FMVP can be awarded to someone else, it will become the biggest shady in NBA history, much more serious than the 15-year-old Yoshidala!
Even if the 11 news media people who selected FMVP were indeed secretly manipulated by capital, considering various problems such as the Chinese market, it is impossible to award the award to Butler under great pressure.
Wang Feng's guess was not wrong, ten minutes later, on the makeshift podium, the NBA president personally presented the NBA championship trophy to the team, and also announced the winner of the FMVP, Wang Feng was elected FMVP without any suspense, becoming the first Chinese player to win this honor.
The moment the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy were lifted high at the same time, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis resounded on the court.
"We are champions——!
! ”
……
The Lakers' championship will continue to brew in the coming days.
Before the start of the regular season, no one could have imagined that it would be the Lakers who would win the championship, including the Lakers management.
At that time, Lakers fans were still criticizing the team, accusing them of missing many top superstars such as George, Leonard, and James in a row, and getting nothing in the free market.
However, at the beginning of the season, the Lakers traded for Butler to strengthen the team's forward strength, and Wang Feng's scoring ability further evolved, allowing the team to go all the way, not only winning the regular season record with 64 wins, but also passing the playoffs until winning the championship.
Looking back at the Lakers' playoff journey, this championship is full of gold.
eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers led by James in the first round, defeated the Houston Rockets in seven bloody games with the Warriors last season in the second round, and defeated the five-star Warriors who are considered invincible in the Western Conference Finals.
Although the Warriors are a game, Durant's injury and retirement is a turning point, but in the first four games of Durant's health, it is an indisputable fact that the two teams fought to a 2:2 draw, even if it seems to be at a disadvantage, the Lakers have not lost one more game in the face of the Warriors, whether in the regular season or the playoffs!
In the finals, facing the Menglong team that stood out from the East, the Lakers did not give the other party any chance, and ended the game neatly 4:1.
What's even more terrifying is that this team is still young.
Butler is just 30 years old and at the peak of his game.
Wang Feng is less than 27 years old, and Ingram and Kuzma are just in their early twenties, and the future is promising!
This also means that as long as the existing championship squad can be retained, the Lakers will still be the favorites to win the championship next season.
After all, the breakup of the Warriors looks like a foregone conclusion.
Although the Warriors' management and players are trying to keep Durant as much as possible, judging from the details that broke out in the media that day, Durant obviously doesn't want to continue playing for the Warriors.

In his three years with the Warriors, he only won one championship trophy, and the pressure on Durant, who was burdened with huge infamy, did not decrease but increased.
Durant understands that even if he continues to stay with the Warriors and win a few championship rings, it will not help him get rid of his infamy, and he has always been treated as a mercenary in the Warriors. Curry's team is not his Kevin. Durant's.
No matter where Durant goes, as long as he leaves the Warriors, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the Warriors' combat effectiveness, making them fall directly from a level higher than the league as a whole to the standard of ordinary first-line teams.
Does the combination of Curry + Thompson + Green have the ability to win the championship? A: Of course, they have, but they only have the possibility of winning the championship, in terms of strength, they are close to the strength of the Bucks team with Leonard's Menglong and Antetokounmpo, and they are obviously weaker than the current Lakers.
