Chapter 358 The direct competition with the demon knife

After an unexpected loss to the Trail Blazers, all the Lakers realized their shame and were brave, winning a wave of 4 consecutive victories.

Even though there is a strong team like the Dallas Mavericks in this game, the Lakers still won. The team's record has reached an astonishing 51 wins and 11 losses!
In fact, by March, this will be an extremely tragic period of war for all teams in the league.

The top four teams in the East and West must hold their current positions, so as to ensure their home court advantage in the playoffs.

The 5th to 6th in the East and West will desperately go upstream, and the remaining 7 to 8th will also fight bloody for their playoff spots.

As for the 9th to 12th places, if there is still a little possibility of hitting the playoffs, they will not give up lightly. For example, the Golden State Warriors, who are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, are only two short of the Denver Nuggets. If they win, they still have a chance to catch up.

As for the remaining 5 or 6 teams that are still at the bottom, life is not to say that they can live comfortably, and they also have competition.

Compete for the top three picks in the annual draft!
Therefore, they also have to ensure that they lose every game with justification, so that the players can not complain, and they can barely afford the ticket prices of the fans.

This is definitely a technical activity!

Don't you see that the Thunder team later, from the team management to the players and fans, were all ready to play badly. As a result, Brother Pao came and unexpectedly brought a winning culture to the team.

By the time the detonator reacted, it was already too late.

Gan!
This is not the result I want!

It's no wonder that after one season, the Thunder happily sent Brother Pao away like sending off the plague god.

……

We have already reached this stage of the regular season, and the situation in the league is also obvious.

What should be contended for and what should be badly played will be a direct showdown!

As far as the Lakers are concerned, it is unlikely that they will fall to second place in the Western Conference after the regular season.

Currently ranked second in the Western Conference is the New Orleans Hornets with 41 wins and 15 losses... Brother Cannon again!
The sudden rise of the Hornets is definitely beyond most people's expectations.

A team that couldn't even make the playoffs last year, this year's "Duang!" made it to the top four in the Western Conference, and even No.2.

It is also because of this that Paul ranks second only to Kobe in the current regular season MVP rankings. This is a little guy who is only in the third grade, and he has already become a behemoth!
But although the Hornets are very strong, if the opponent wants to meet the Lakers, they have to break into the second round no matter what.

Therefore, Paul and his Hornets are not the Lakers' focus.

Is it enough to just rank first in the Western Conference?

Obviously, for the ambitious Kobe and the Lakers trying to reach the top this season, No. [-] in the Western Conference is not enough to satisfy them.

What they want is the number one in the entire league.

And now the only one that can compete with the Lakers is the Celtics in the East.

Jin Haoke has never forgotten that this season's Celtics will achieve 66 wins and 16 losses, the second highest record in team history.

Even in the entire history of the NBA, it is enough to rank close to the top ten.

Don't look at the last time the three old men deliberately took turns to give up the league's first throne to the Lakers, but everyone knows that this is just the Celtics' exhaustion plan.

If the Lakers really relax because of this and the record slips, Jin Hao is sure that the Celtics will definitely catch up.

After all, the regular season championship is also a very rare honor. Even the Celtics, one of the two giants in the league, had to go back to the distant past when they won the league's first record last time. The 1987~88 season.

That was the era when the black and white duo of Magician and Big Bird dominated the league!

Therefore, although the Lakers have just won a wave of four consecutive victories, the team boss Kobe still looks quite serious.

This kind of Kobe is too familiar to other Lakers players, especially Odom, an old fritter who has been with the Lakers for some years, and just shudders at a glance.

Fortunately, the NBA has a long history since its inception, and everyone knows what stage it is now.

So after Kobe just put on a face, all the members of the Lakers participated in every joint training very honestly, and no one dared to neglect in the training!

After all, not everyone can bear the anger of the Black Mamba.

Seeing his teammates training hard, Jin Hao felt a little nostalgic for that guy Radmanovic.

When Radmanovic was still there, he and Odom, the two LSPs, often took their teammates to relax.

Even Jin Hao, a pure child, was spoiled by them.

But it's good that this guy is gone, now the Lakers are left alone with Odom alone, and the atmosphere of the team has also been greatly improved compared to before.

……

After the team's joint practice, Jin Hao went to the gym for an hour and then left. When he got home, An Xiaoxi told him some news.

"Ahao, you have moved up another place in the MVP rankings, and you are now ranked eighth."

For her boyfriend's outstanding performance, no one knows better than An Xiaoxi... He is even more proud.

"is it?"

Jin Hao also became interested, and transferred the notebook in front of An Xiaoxi to his side.

"A rookie, but he is the eighth MVP!"

"Let's mourn for the players of the 07 class. A great devil appeared in their generation!"

"According to relevant news reports: Durant said in an interview with the media that he has no hope!"

"..."

Since the 1971-72 season, the NBA has not limited the number of entries on the regular season MVP rankings.

You must know that before this, there were only five players on the regular season MVP rankings every year, not like the current dozen or even twenty or thirty players.

And since Jin Hao unexpectedly entered the No.9 of the MVP last time, he never fell down again.

It's just because Jin Hao's performance hasn't changed much, and he is a substitute after all. If he is allowed to be in the top row, where will the face of the stars of other teams be put?

Therefore, Jin Hao's ranking has always been ninth and has not changed.

But when Jinhao won the rookie game MVP, the three-point champion, and the All-Star game MVP that even the league super giants coveted in the All-Star Game, his status in the league began to rise with the naked eye.

After the All-Star Game, Jin Hao's statistics did not drop but rose, and after the Lakers came to No. [-] in the league, neither the fans nor the media dared to ignore Jin Hao, a first-year rookie.

Under the many voices, Jin Hao's MVP ranking finally had a new change.

No.8!
Deserved!

While Jin Hao's reputation is getting louder and louder, the fear of the Lakers from the other 29 teams in the league is becoming stronger and stronger.

It is absolutely rare in NBA history that two of the top ten players on the MVP list are on the same team.

As far as this season is concerned, only Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili of the Spurs are most similar to the current situation of the Lakers.

The current head of the Spurs star Tim Duncan ranked seventh on the MVP list, which is the one ahead of Jin Hao.

And Manu Ginobili, who played the peak performance of his career this season, appeared at No.11 in the MVP list, almost entering the top ten.

More importantly, among the top [-] players currently on the MVP list, only Jin Hao and Ginobili are the team's substitutes, and the remaining [-] players are all leaders of their own teams without exception. star.

For Jinhao, Manu Ginobili has always been a player he pays close attention to.

In addition to the shock brought to him by the elusive demon knife in later generations, the more important thing is that Ginobili has a direct conflict with him in the waiting season.

If I remember correctly, Ginobili was the best sixth man in the NBA in the 07-08 season, and this was also a goal Jin Hao set for himself at the beginning of the season.

Since we want to be a substitute, then we have to be the best, even stronger than 90% of the starting players in the league!
For Ginobili, Jin Hao still loves him very much and is full of admiration for him.

Because in the increasingly impetuous Vanity Fair of the NBA, few people maintain a low-key and humble attitude like Ginobili, and have played for a team for more than ten years.

But one size fits all!
Admiration is all admiration, as long as Ginobili stands opposite him on the battlefield, he will definitely knock him down without hesitation.

The best sixth man can only be mine!
　It's a holiday, and I'm finally going home, and I wish all book lovers a happy new year in advance!
