I just play ball

Chapter 321 The First Step of Alliance No.1

After completing the post-match interview, Li Yue returned to the locker room and called his teammates for a simple celebration.

But the owner Jim Buss rushed in to participate, and the magician and other celebrities also joined. The locker room became extremely hilarious, and finally decided to have a group dinner.

Walton was once again left behind as a team representative to attend the press conference. Others rushed to Malibu Beach ahead of schedule. Everyone sat on the bus and sang songs in turn. They didn't think about the second round or the Western Conference Finals. They just enjoyed the experience. victory.

Arriving at the restaurant, everyone ordered their own meals, chatted and waited for the food to be served, and waited for Wharton's arrival.

Someone proposed to read Twitter comments aloud, and Nick Yang readily acted as the reader. According to him, before the game was over, there were already three hot topics related to the Lakers. The main content was to praise Li Yue and Kobe Bryant.

The two scored a total of 91 points in this game, and the series averaged a total of 65 points per game, far surpassing the OK combination in 01, and also far surpassing the combination of Pippen and Jordan, becoming the strongest duo in NBA playoff history.

In addition, the Lakers ranked third in the history of the first round of the playoffs against the Warriors, ranking ahead of them are the 10 points of the Magic against the Hawks in 101 years, and the 09 points of the Nuggets against the Hornets in 121, but if only Counting the average point difference per game, the Lakers are the second in history this time, and the first is the Lakers in the 85-86 season, when they averaged 31 points per game against the Spurs.

There is also a record for the number of three-pointers hit in a single game. Li Yue surpassed three retired players to reach the top in the first battle, which perfectly matched his title of winning the All-Star Three-point Contest with a full score. First.

What is more special is that Carter, Ray Allen, and Rex, who originally held the record at the same time, were all shooting guards, while Li Yue was a small forward. This made many commentators and fans lament that the basketball game is evolving rapidly.

Rex also tweeted Aite Li Yue, hoping to have the opportunity to discuss three-point skills together, but some staff members suggested not to have any contact, because the other party's reputation in the circle is too bad, and he was accused of being involved in a theft incident .

Li Yue kept it in mind, and changed the subject to talk about the recently released movie "Captain America 2".

But the teammates had little interest. Instead, they discussed another "Draft Day" about NFL football. They all lamented why there were no movies about NBA, because classic movies about basketball, such as "Coach Carter" and "Road to Glory" etc. Wait, it's either about high school basketball or the NCAA, but none of it has anything to do with the NBA.

After discussing and discussing, I finally came to a general idea: the league intervenes too much in the game, making the process and results often dramatic. Now that the new president has taken office, it has intensified, which is much more interesting than filming.

But the boss Jim pointed out that the main reason is the lack of copyright. 2K has not been able to obtain the right to use the portraits of Barkley and others until now. If you want to adapt a movie related to the NBA, you need to obtain a series of authorizations, but the audience is too small. Few producers are willing to take risks. In the final analysis, it is market behavior and has little to do with alliance practices.

Chatting and chatting, Wharton finally arrived, and the dinner officially started, which lasted about two hours.

...

Back at the apartment, Li Yue checked the relevant news while making a video call with Chen Xi.

In the battle between the Thunder and the Blazers at Tianwangshan, Durant played abnormally. Fortunately, Westbrook stood up and finally won by 2 points and successfully won the match point. In the east, the Raptors also narrowly won by 2 points, and the Pacers lost. The Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Looking at the overall situation, except for the Lakers and the Heat who advanced ahead of schedule, all other teams showed a tiebreaker trend.

That season has never been as intense as it is now, but ESPN statistics show that the ratings in the first round have not improved any more.

Many commentators have analyzed this phenomenon. Some think that the results of the first round are not important enough. Some think that the Lakers are too strong to cause the result to lose suspense.

Chen Xi noticed that You Shan was absent-minded, and asked if something happened, and he briefly told about the dinner party.

Chenxi proposed to try to prepare a movie about the NBA, and ask him to integrate resources as a producer. It just so happened that the market for this area was blank, and he might be able to receive great returns. It would be best if the NBA officially injected capital.

Why not spend the money of the alliance, do your own business, and enjoy a common name?
Li Yue immediately contacted Taylor, explained his thoughts clearly, and asked the team to carry out preliminary preparations.

...

After a day off, the Lakers resumed regular practice on May 5.

Considering that the Rockets have already won the Tianwangshan battle in the away game, and the Clippers were exhausted because of boss Sterling, the coaching staff decisively started to study how to deal with the Rockets, and all past analysis records were called out.

But after a careful review, I found that the Lakers have an overall advantage except for the center position, even if the center position is not too far behind, because the Rockets mainly play outside, and every time Howard gets the ball in the low post, he is basically in a single-handed state and can easily deal with it.

That night, the Wizards played the fifth game against the Bulls, and Li Yue paid attention to it all the way.

Thibodeau's dead grass main force's routine produced strong negative feedback. The Bulls only scored a poor 15 points in the first quarter, and even scored an even poorer 11 points in the third quarter. They scored a total of 69 points in the game. Unfortunately, they lost in the first round.

At the same time, the Spurs played against the Grizzlies. The two teams fought fiercely until the last moment. Duncan made two free throws to seal the victory and helped the Spurs take a 3-2 lead. However, almost all media believed that the two teams would have a final tiebreaker.

Li Yue participated in the training step by step. The whole team used the extra time to practice various routines, and everyone learned how to defend Harden correctly to avoid being fouled too much and causing rotation problems.

The core is not to reach out easily. Harden has a big body, thick arms and strong strength. Even if he sends the ball to the defender, he may not be able to cut it off. You must resist the temptation, and the outside line should mainly interfere with shooting.Harden also has a trick to step back and shoot, especially the mid-range emergency stop and retreat. If you can defend, you can defend.

...

Time came to May 5 in a blink of an eye. The Rockets beat the Clippers at home and successfully advanced to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

At noon on the 4th, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner updated Twitter and invited Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to make a bet on the winner of the Western Conference semifinals. activity, Eric readily accepted.

Just as the public was discussing whether Turner deliberately wanted to wear the Lakers jersey, the NBA's official Twitter update announced that Li Yue was elected as the MVP of the 2013-2014 regular season.

The award ceremony will be held before the first game against the Rockets. Li Yue's personal phone was instantly rang, and he received congratulations from all over the world one after another through text messages, Twitter, Twitter private messages, Facebook, INS and other channels.

Chenxi left a message that he will fly to the United States to attend the awards ceremony. Li Yue forwarded the official NBA Twitter and wrote: "Thank you! This is the first step of my personal goal. I will try to do more next time, so stay tuned!"
