unfinished glory

Chapter 213 After the season

Li Chongxiao broke another record, and it was a gold-rich record for the highest score in the playoffs, making his superstar title undisputed.

What he lacks now is the accumulation of data and the honor of leading the team. Most people agree that he already has the qualifications to enter the Hall of Fame.

Although Li Chongxiao's performance is so great, most of the media are still not optimistic about their ability to break out of the West.

Five playoff games have exposed the shortcomings of the Grizzlies.In the regular season, they still have multiple strengths that can be used. On a stage like the Western Conference Finals, except for Li Chongxiao, there is no way for other players to make continuous and stable contributions.

Faced with this situation, the tougher the Lakers' defense, the harder it is for the other players of the Grizzlies to play.

Yao Ming played harder and harder every game. Many times he could use easier jump shots or hooks, but he still had to use hand-to-hand combat to get to the basket.Gasol had 5 fouls in the third quarter and his playing time was severely limited.Gasol was lost in collision after collision, facing Yao Ming's defensive shots and not hitting a single one.

The performance of the inside players has also continued to the outside. Other players, including the substitutes, are generally in a downturn.This made the Lakers even more unscrupulous about Li Chongxiao's double-teaming.

Li Chongxiao still maintains a good offensive state, but relying on one person cannot help the Grizzlies win.Even if he scored another 54 points in the sixth game, he still failed to restore the team's decline.

……

With a score of 4:2, the Grizzlies ended this season's journey.For the Grizzlies, this season is not only not a failure, it can even be said to be very successful.

After Li Chongxiao joined, the goal of the Grizzlies was to reach the playoffs, and they were not even confident in the second round he proposed.

For Li Chongxiao, this season is also commendable.A series of performances and honors proved that he can achieve great achievements after leaving the Spurs system.

Winning the honor of MVP in the regular season and eliminating his old club in the playoffs shows that last season, it was not the stage provided by the Spurs that made him successful, but that he supported the Spurs.

Regardless of whether the Spurs' management has regrets or not, at least their fans' intestines are green.Some fans turned from love to hate. The Grizzlies were eliminated, and they were the happiest, even louder than the celebrations of the Lakers fans.

Li Chongxiao didn't pay much attention to these voices, but started his summer plan step by step.

Back home to accompany grandpa and parents, by the way, take pictures of commercials, and do activities.As his achievements have grown and his fame has risen, there have been more and more things off the court.

Although his family is very rich, there is no need to put money on the ground and not pick it up, and this is also the best way to expand influence and increase fame.

After strict screening and quality control, Li Chongxiao still received many endorsements, all of which are top brands in the world.This made him have to spare a certain amount of time every summer to cooperate with these manufacturers in publicity.

His partner is also a top European and American actress or a popular domestic actress.All of a sudden Li Chongxiao's scandals were flying all over the sky, and several hot actresses talked about a simple cooperative relationship on the one hand, and on the other hand they said ambiguous words, making it difficult for the people who eat melons to tell the truth from the fake.

Only Ms. Wang Caixia knew the inside story. On the one hand, she lamented that the old Li's family was upright and emotional, and her son was also a good baby; Conditions, such a good opportunity, and I don’t know how to learn from the “bad” points, so let’s pick one up first. He didn't even have a girlfriend at the age of 23, so his title of "male god" was in vain.

After finally clarifying that there is no problem with his orientation, Li Chongxiao feels quite wronged.

When I was in high school, my grandfather was very strict with me, so I had no chance to play while studying. When I was in college, I tried my best to keep up with the progress of the team, and I couldn't even remember the names of the cheerleaders.

It was so easy to gain a foothold, but I had to change the map.After playing for five years, I have achieved today's achievement, so I can relax a little bit.

Judging from the experience of going abroad in the past few years, Li Chongxiao can be regarded as an otaku who is addicted to the basketball world, and basically does not have many opportunities to meet women, let alone a girlfriend.

Moreover, he will be urged to marry before he is 23, Li Chongxiao really has no way to understand his mother's thoughts, so he can only run away.

……

The results of the Western Conference Finals not only made the Grizzlies overjoyed, but also increased some expectations for the next season.

In the case that the main lineup can be retained, they should have the hope and ability to hit the championship.

The top priority is reinforcement.

Judging from the competition situation last season, the biggest opponent of the Grizzlies is still the Lakers who eliminated themselves.

In the Finals that Li Chongxiao had followed, the Lakers eliminated him for two consecutive years and completed their title defense.

The defenses shown by both sides of the game were tougher than those in the Eastern and Western finals.In the seven games, neither the Lakers nor the Celtics scored more than 100 points in any game, and the overall shooting percentage did not exceed 45%.

The strength of the two sides is very close, and the winner can only be determined at the end of each fight.But the Lakers with two superstars had the last laugh. At critical moments, their offense was more sure and efficient than their opponents.

Kobe launched an attack from the outside, facing the defense of Ray Allen, Tony Allen and Rondo, and Yao Ming used the interior as a pinnacle to deal with Garnett, Perkins and Glenn Davis.

The number of shots taken by the two players is about the same. Yao Ming, who is both inside, has a much higher success rate and has always been ahead of Kobe in scoring.

This time Kobe is no longer as willful as he was in the 2004 finals. He must first ensure the team's victory.In this round of the series, even if he had a little more selfishness and passed two fewer balls to Yao Ming, the result of the game might be different.

In the end, the Lakers won, and Yao Ming won the Finals Most Valuable Player by virtue of scoring more points.

Li Chongxiao sent out his congratulations immediately. While congratulating his old friend, he also felt a lot of pressure.

He won the championship earlier, also two times, but he has never defended the championship.Yao Ming also won two championship rings, and he got it by stepping over the dead body of the Grizzlies.

Faced with such an old opponent, Li Chongxiao was naturally not reconciled. When the management consulted his opinion on the team's transformation, he changed his attitude of not participating before and actively joined the discussion.

The Grizzlies naturally regard the Lakers as their biggest competitor, and the team's reinforcements will also revolve around this.

Based on the situation of last season, the team feels that the key area for improvement is the inside.

The Gasol brothers' performance in the playoffs was mediocre, but it wasn't entirely their fault.They don't have much experience in tough playoff games, so it's inevitable that they will be a little bit at a loss.

The team's tactics also have some mistakes, and they still have advantages in playing against weak teams in the regular season. Meeting the Lakers or Celtics will definitely expose the problem of lack of support.

After all, not everyone is a player like Duncan, Garnett and Howard who can support a defensive system alone.Even big inside players like O'Neal and Yao Ming need the help of good blue-collar and outside defensive players.

Carlisle's opinion is not to renew the contract of Milicic and others, and Li Chongxiao has no objection to adding tougher inside defensive players.

Everyone knows that the best way is to change to a good insider, but Gasol's performance has allowed him to enter the third team. It is very difficult to find a better one.

At this time, it depends on the ability of the head coach. If you play the full strength of a playoff team, and then add a super giant, this is a championship lineup.

　I wrote it on my mobile phone during Chinese New Year, it was too slow.People are trapped in their hometown again, how can they get out?
