You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 290 I Don't Care

"Why are you laughing?"

Kobe at the moment is like a vicious dog, biting whoever he sees, Wei Xia has not forgotten that he is also a rookie.If it made Kobe unhappy and sent him to a supermarket 30 kilometers away to buy water, he would have to tell another white lie—run to a place 30 meters away and wait for an hour, and then take the water and walk back to Kobe at a leisurely pace.

"It's nothing, I just think Vaughn is too ignorant." In order not to end up like Weaver, even the protagonist has to speak out of his conscience.

"Hmph, this is your first obedient sentence today." Kobe stopped being angry with Wei Xia. It seems that he is not as stingy as he flashed in the face, which is really surprising.

Wei Xia originally wanted to ask Kobe for advice on coaxing his girlfriend, but he suddenly felt that his relationship with Serinda Swan still had a chance to be saved.

But he heard from his teammates that Kobe gave Vanessa a diamond ring every time he got angry, and every time he gave it was a style worth millions of dollars.

Although he can afford it, his savings are not rich enough to buy this luxury at will in exchange for a woman's heart.

And, it wasn't his fault.

What's wrong with him?Dedication to art, no matter where it is placed, it is not easy to justify.Just like when he watched Marion Cotillard in "Desperate Express" when he was a child, he naturally blushed and breathed unevenly, and at one point he had the idea of ​​marrying her back home. After growing up, he suddenly awakened one day: Why should I marry a woman who has been seen naked by the whole world?

So his thoughts stopped.

In retrospect, his biggest mistake was miscalculating his own attractiveness, but the truth was right.

To be fair, is Cotillard's nude scene necessary in "Desperate Express"?Apart from stimulating the nerves of the male audience, is there any other reason to shoot?In the end, there is no other purpose than to prove the law that a French goddess who does not take off is not a French goddess.

He thought the same about Swann.

Foreseeing that Kobe's suggestion would be unreliable, Wei Xia didn't ask, but talked about the MVP instead.

Although Kobe averaged 35 points per game, he is the highest scoring champion since Jordan in 1988.But he has not been recognized by the outside world.

Faced with this option, the media's usual thinking logic is the various elements that match players and MVPs, such as personal performance, leadership, and so on.Once the question came to Kobe's turn, the first thought of many media and critics became: What aspects of him are not worthy of being an MVP?For example, has he become selfless, is the Lakers record top, are his teammates better because of Kobe?
This kind of reverse thinking is undoubtedly unfair, just like assuming that the suspect is guilty before the court pronounces the sentence.

But there is no way. Over the years, Kobe has been interpreted by public opinion almost from the standpoint of an anti-MVP.

In addition, among the five annual awards including Most Valuable Player, Best Defensive Player, Sixth Man, Most Improved Player, and Best Rookie, the MVP selection criteria are the most flamboyant in discarding statistics and emphasizing other aspects, so you have to accept the fact that a "thug" who averaged 35.4 points per game and 81 points in a single game can only condescend to the fourth place in the MVP vote.

Since the birth of MVP, the standard of the league has not been fixed.

In the 1955-56 season, the first player in history to win the MVP was Eagle King Bob Pettit. As the league's scoring leader, he averaged the second most rebounds in the league (16).At any rate, they are averaging triple-doubles, one player, one city, and 33 wins per game, reproduced half a century later.It's the first time in history, and the league's standards are slowly being adjusted, which is understandable.

It can be seen from Pettit that the first MVP standard in history is to commend those players with the best statistics and the most eye-catching personal abilities.

The following year, 1957, the judges realized their choice was a bit silly and gave MVP to Bob Cousy, the "Hunedy on the hardwood."It is worth mentioning that in the MVP voting that year, the top five were all white, and the sixth-ranked black Maurice Stokes (Maurice Stokes SF/PF/C) was known as the magician of the 50s. After three years of 16+15+6 statistics, he suffered a serious head injury in a game against the Lakers, resulting in paralysis.

In 1958, the MVP was given to Russell, and the selection criteria became the "best player on the best team" generally accepted by modern fans.

However, within a few years, the monster who claimed to have fucked 37 women entered the league, with a convincing average of 27+10 per game, and promoted the team from the third-to-last rank to the second-to-last position.It appears that he deserved his election.Not to mention that his team lost 1960 more games than the Celtics, let's talk about his improvement of the team's record. The [-] league had only eight teams, which meant that he was taking a team that finished fifth last season to second.Looking at it this way, isn't it so exciting?However, his stats are too shocking, and even an improvement of just three rankings is a real improvement.

The criteria for MVP have changed so far.

It's still a new change that modern fans are happy to accept: a huge improvement over last season.

Of course, this is just data. According to some reports, it can be seen that Lao Zhang turned all the players in the Philadelphia Warriors team except Paul Arizin into trash who would only pass him halftime, but the improvement of the Warriors is real.Significant improvement in the regular season, falling into the playoffs, the monster fighting alone can only fight against the Celtics dynasty, which is at its peak.

After that, "how to make teammates better" and "chemical reaction" have gradually become overused words when measuring the value of players, and the so-called "data maniac" and "personal hero" have been discarded by experts. So we can see that Bill Russell, who has rather ugly data, successfully achieved the MVP three-peat (1961, 62, 63), because he made every teammate find the feeling of victory; by the time Chamberlain's MVP three-peat (1966, 67, 68) was no longer because of shocking the world not because he found a way to play the 5 like a point guard (8.6 assists per game).

During the 1956 years from 1980 to 25, which were voted by players, 23 MVP trophies other than Cousy and Oscar Robertson were awarded to centers-yes, a great center is an object that all colleagues admire and are willing to partner with. Because of his existence, you can get a lot of open opportunities. You don’t care about losing your opponent. , When you randomly interview an active player and ask "Who is the greatest player in the league", the answer still cannot escape "Shaq" and "Duncan".

After 1981, the judges of the MVP were changed from players to reporters, and the aesthetic standards were turned upside down. Dr. J was the first to be rehabilitated.Under the clamor of the media, a MVP campaign kicked off.

Since then, Bird, Magician, and Jordan have jointly monopolized the MVP for the next 9 years. Iverson's 2001 MVP can be called the most inspirational one in history, and Nash in 2005 is well-deserved because of his legendary background.

However, the inherent disadvantages of the 2nd and 3rd players in the MVP selection have not been eliminated-in terms of role assignment, it is difficult for them to become the core of the team's defense, and it is difficult to play enough assists to prove "making teammates better".

It is this kind of embarrassment that in the past 50 years, the NBA has only produced four MVPs at positions 4 and 2, Big O, Dr. J, Jordan, and Iverson.

It is this embarrassment that Kobe wants to challenge now.

If we let Wei Xia answer those few questions.

Did Kobe make his teammates better?
A: At least it made him better.

Did Kobe bring good chemistry?

Answer: Anyone with good eyesight and no prejudice should know how good the Lakers were before Chris Mihm was injured.

Do you think Kobe is the MVP?
A: If even James ranks second in MVP simulation predictions for multiple consecutive periods, why not?

Unfortunately, he has no say in this matter.

Kobe had the same pressure as Jordan back then. He had to face countless doubts and boos.

"I don't care," Kobe's tone was very relaxed, his trembling lips and fierce eyes revealed him, "I don't care at all."

"Cool." Wei Xia had already seen through his mind, "Proud of you."

But I can't expose it, it's uncomfortable.
