NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 468 Famous Painting of the Century!

The other series are gradually becoming clearer.

The first is the remaining two series in the Western Conference, Spurs VS Thunder. The cooperation of the two-German combination has gradually improved, and the Thunder only has Westbrook to support the team. Whiteside can help some in the paint, but it is limited. The offensive methods still cannot play a decisive role.

In the end, after five fierce battles, the Thunder were eliminated by the Spurs 1:4.

This result was expected. After all, everyone predicted that the Spurs would eliminate the Thunder 4:1.

But another news was beyond Xue Liancheng's expectation.

The regular season MVP was announced. Unexpectedly, Harden was elected this season's regular season MVP with 828 votes, beating Westbrook's 736 votes.

Others may think this is nothing. After all, Harden averaged 29+11+8 per game, an absolute explosion of data. The Rockets' record ranks third in the Western Conference, and even fourth in the league.

The entire Rockets team only has one All-Star like Harden, and the helpers are quite poor. In this era of frequent Big Three, the lineup is not impressive at all.

But they still achieved great success.

Therefore, there is no problem at all for Harden to win the regular season MVP.

The only regret is that Westbrook's triple-double has become an embellishment, which is very regrettable.

However, considering that the Thunder only achieved a record of 46 wins and 36 losses and only ranked seventh in the Western Conference, it is normal that Westbrook failed to win the MVP.

after all……

The Thunder's record has just reached the threshold of the playoffs. It is not outstanding at all, and it is even a serious points deduction. It is really reluctant to give the MVP to Westbrook.

But Xue Liancheng is different. If we follow the historical trajectory, this MVP should have been won by Westbrook, but now he lost to Harden, which means that the butterfly effect has been messed up.

And he estimated that the reason why Westbrook did not win the most important award in his career was mainly because he came to the Western Conference.

He joined the Lakers and pulled the Lakers from being weak to fifth in the Western Conference, thus causing the Thunder, which should have been ranked sixth, to fall to seventh.

Even though there is only one position, the impact is extremely huge.

Seventh means you have just crossed the playoff threshold.

At the threshold of the playoffs, even if you have a triple-double, it cannot offset your lack of leadership ability.

Doesn't the MVP selection refer to your personal data, record, and team leadership ability?

Westbrook only has personal data, and the other two items are quite impressive.

This caused the votes to tilt, and Westbrook directly missed the MVP trophy that should have belonged to him.

This also caused a significant shift in the trajectory of history.

The situation in the east is much more exciting.

In addition to James leading the Knicks to sweep the Hawks again, the Heat and Bucks, Celtics and Cavaliers, Raptors and Wizards all played to 3:3. The results were tragic.

The most surprising thing was the Raptors and Wizards. I didn't expect them to play like this. Everyone generally predicted that the Wizards would defeat the top two in six games.

As a result, the Raptors are tenacious enough. Although the garbage brothers are still garbage, it does not prevent them from occasionally shining and bringing victory to the team.

But even three tiebreakers couldn't steal the limelight of the Lakers' battle.

The warriors are undoubtedly shouting slogans of revenge. They are bound to defeat Xue Liancheng and avenge their previous humiliation.

"Looking at where you will run from this encounter, you will definitely take the Xue Liancheng sacrificial flag."

"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Let me see if Xue Liancheng can do it without the Big Three?"

"Without Oladipo and Wade, he's a joke."

"Yes! Oladipo and Wade are indeed invincible. Their hard-hitting ability is superb, which allows the Heat and Knicks to have stable firepower output."

"Hold together is Xue Liancheng's key to success."

"Don't be swept away. If you are swept away, it will be embarrassing."

The clamor was endless.

Obviously.

The lineup of the Big Four gives them unlimited confidence.

If you still can't win, then you should really consider committing seppuku.

“It’s not certain who will sweep who.”

"We dare not say that we will sweep the opponent, but we are still somewhat confident in defeating the opponent."

"I've never seen such a crazy person, and he still sweeps away? Are you worthy?"

"Four All-Stars, damn me! I actually have the nerve to say that others are in a group."

"A bunch of subordinates have been defeated. They have been losing for two years in a row. How can they forget the scars and the pain so quickly?"

"Yes! A collection of traitors + defeated generals. I wonder what kind of combination this is?"

"This is called a shameless combination. There is no point in shouting. We have to take some practical actions. If we lose in the end, it will be embarrassing."

The Lakers are also fighting back fiercely, telling the Warriors that they are just a bunch of defeated generals + traitors.

Fans from both sides cheered for their home teams.

Players from both sides also exchanged words on Twitter.

Chasing Egg Green is awesome and coaxes: Come on! Let the storm come more violently! See who is the king of the league.

The Big Four combination, and they are all still in their prime years, plus a bunch of high-quality characters, their overall lineup structure is very strong, and it is absolutely unique in NBA history. This is why Green dared to stand up and speak out.

And Randall is also a prick, so when he hears this kind of shouting, he will naturally respond: Ha! The king who was beaten down for two years, hahaha...

Chasing Egg Green: You have to talk about the past, right? Last year you were at the bottom, and the year before that you seemed to be at the bottom, and the year before that you were still at the bottom. After you turned over, you didn’t know what your last name was?

As a die-hard Lakers fan, George couldn't bear hearing this comment: If you want to say anything else, I won't care about you. You have to talk to the Lakers about the past, Wang Defa! Do you deserve it? 16 championships, how many superstars were born, how many legends were written, how many years the Purple and Gold Army dominated the league, why the hell are you talking to me about history?

Thompson also left the game: Ugh! So proud! But what's the use? A person who led the team to 13 wins and 26 losses, what say do you have?
George: I really don’t have a say, but at least I have led a team. Unlike some people, I don’t even have the opportunity to lead a team alone, haha... third-rate stuff!
Durant: Where is the third-rate stuff? let me see? (Posters of top small forwards are hung at the back)
The implication is: In front of Durant, James, and Leonard, you George is just a third-rate guy.

Randall jumped back again: Can't beat him? It doesn't matter, I can't join them if I can't defeat them? ——This is what I understand as third-rate stuff.

As soon as this tweet came out, it immediately became a hot search topic, and the move was amplified...

"Haha! It's heartbreaking to kill someone!"

"It's really disgusting to surrender to the enemy. I don't know that some people are still making such a big deal about it."

"I want to be successful and I want to take shortcuts - which is third-rate stuff I understand."

"Bold! Connotation is me."

"James: No! Read my driver's license number."

"At this moment, Durant probably has the intention to kill someone."

Thompson came out to support: Free agents, can't they come back freely? What's the point?
Chasing Egg Green: What nonsense are you talking to them about? The moment of revenge has arrived.

Behind the words, there was also an angry picture.

Feng Lai, who had been silent, responded directly: Indeed, the raging fire in my heart is burning.

……

The two sides just went back and forth and had a long conversation.

In reality, all members of the Lakers were working hard to practice tactics with their heads down. The training hall was not so lively at all, and there was not much talk. Instead, it was deserted and seemed very depressing.

There seemed to be a smell of gunpowder in the air.

Xue Liancheng didn't pay attention to his teammates' curses on Twitter.

Actually this is normal.

Now is the playoffs, and every game is extremely important. No matter how good the relationship is off the court, once on the court, they are complete enemies and will not show any mercy. Before the war, both sides will do a mobilization, so that they can muster energy, unite together, and build cohesion.

So the Twitter scolding is just the appetizer.

of course.

It can also be embarrassing sometimes.

Just like the Knicks last season, Oladipo, Jeff Green, Vonleh and others also scolded James happily, but James came during the offseason.

Just asking are you embarrassed?

It must be embarrassing!

However, the stance is different and the behavior is different. Under normal circumstances, he will not care about it. If James really cares about it, he will not come to the Knicks. If James is really stubborn, he will not even think about hugging his thigh.

and so……

The real owner didn't take it seriously, so after Oladipo and others were embarrassed, they naturally wouldn't continue to dwell on this issue.

This is the current situation of players in the league getting along.

soon.

Game day arrives.

As soon as Xue Liancheng appeared on the stage, he was greeted by a roaring tsunami of abuse. It was really deafening!

The banners were connected together to form a sea of color.

But he didn't actually take it seriously. He was used to seeing big scenes. He was used to these things and even regarded them as motivation.

I just feel the sound is a bit noisy.

The starting lineup for the Lakers: Xue Liancheng, Courtney Lee, George, Randle, Von Lai.

The starting lineup for the Warriors: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Zaza Pachulia.

That's right.

This Zaza Pachulia is the same Zaza Pachulia who destroyed the Spurs.

It can be said that both sides played with full lineups, which can be regarded as a truly complete team. In other words, after losing, there will be no excuses for injuries or lack of players.

Before the game.

The host of the live broadcast briefly narrated: "There are not many stories between the Lakers and the Warriors in modern times, because when the Purple and Gold Army was strong, the Warriors were still struggling for the playoffs, and when the Warriors rose in the past two years, the Lakers But they fell again. The chance for them to meet in the playoffs was unique, but the story of the Warriors and Xue Liancheng could be written in more than a dozen chapters, because the Warriors lost in the finals in the past two years. Given to the Miami Heat and New York Knicks led by Xue Liancheng, Curry's MVP and scoring champion were also snatched away by Xue Liancheng, so their encounter is highly anticipated."

Commentator: "Indeed, Xue Liancheng has proven his strength countless times. Now, although they have come to Oracle Center as challengers, in my opinion, the real challengers are Curry, Thompson, and Green. , they have not proven themselves in the battle with Xue Liancheng, so this encounter is their battle of proof. The same goes for Durant. He needs to tell the world that he can win the championship, and now. , the Lakers standing in front of them are the biggest obstacle they encounter. "

Commentator: "Both sides are playing with full lineups. There is no doubt that this is definitely a wonderful battle of the century."

And with the referee's whistle.

The war of the century has indeed begun.

That's right.

It was a real fight.

After Vonlei and Zaza Pachulia finished jumping the ball, he suddenly transformed into a beast and punched Green who was running over.

And it's still right in the forehead...

This doesn't stop there.

Feng Lai threw another left hook directly to Green's chin.

then.

next second.

Chasing Egg Green fell to the ground at the sound.

This all happened so unexpectedly that everyone was stunned.

Xue Liancheng didn't know what happened.

By the time they came to their senses, the referee had already taken a stand and prevented the situation from deteriorating further.

At this time, Xue Liancheng had already arrived at Feng Lai's side.

Seeing that Feng Lai was still clenching his fists tightly and his whole body was still shaking, he quickly comforted him: "What happened?"

Hearing Xue Liancheng's voice, Feng Lai seemed to slow down for an instant. He turned to look at Xue Liancheng and said seriously: "I just want to destroy him."

Hear this.

Xue Liancheng felt as if he was struck by lightning, his body and mind were shaken violently, his whole body became numb, and he just stood there motionless.

Why did Feng Lai do this?
Because in the last game of last season's finals, Chasing Green fouled him directly when he was going for a layup, causing him to fall from a height and the entire tailbone tissue was injured.

After the surgery, he took almost half a year off, and then the Lakers suffered a tragic half-season record of 13 wins and 26 losses.

Now meeting again, Feng Lai rushed forward to exact revenge without hesitation.

That's right!

It's revenge.

The revenge Vonleh threatened on Twitter that day was real revenge, not the kind of revenge on the field.

After understanding all this, Xue Liancheng felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling.

He didn't know Vonleh would do this for him.

In fact, he didn't want Feng Lai to do this for him.

But Feng Lai did it resolutely without saying a word.

Why is this again?
Just because Feng Lai really treated him like a brother.

You dare to destroy my brother and leave the root of my brother's illness, which affects his career.

Then I'm going to fuck you.
