Pen Fun Club www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!

There was a silence in the stadium of the ATT Center. There was no sound in the audience. Many audience members covered their faces and looked at it with shock.

A single game scored more than 100, which is considered to be something impossible in modern basketball, but Zhang Guan did this miraculously, and exceeded 100 points!

With a score of 101, this number seems to be a pot of ice water, instantly killing the spurs in the hearts of the Spurs. For the Spurs, this 101-point blow to morale is unparalleled. Even if the Spurs have an extremely tenacious will, but in the face of an opponent with 101 points in a single field, they can’t inspire their fighting spirit.

But the game is still not over. As before, the referee stopped the game again, and they started to watch the video of the game again. They still have to determine whether the time has passed when Zhang Guan scored.

Finally, the referee once again decided to return to the watch, the time is 0.5 seconds!

However, this time, the Spurs fans did not cheer, not because 0.5 seconds is not enough for a shot, but because of Leonard’s foul, Zhang Guan also added a penalty.

If it is a front-court serve, 0.5 seconds is enough to throw a ball, but if you rebound after a free throw, there is no chance of a shot in 0.5 seconds. Therefore, Zhang Guan only needs to deliberately throw this ball away, let the basketball bounce on the hoop, and time will run out.

Even with 0.5 seconds left, the Spurs have lost.

Zhang Guan once again reached the free throw line, and the Spurs players stood frustrated on both sides.

“It’s over!” Zhang Guan took a deep breath and aimed at the place where the rim meets the rebound. This position will allow the basketball to bounce higher and consume more time.

“Shoot!” Basketball shot, just hit it, and then bounced high, the Spurs players did not even fight for this rebound, because the basketball has not landed, the sound of the end of the game has already sounded!

The basketball hit the ground directly, the game is over!

“Won, we won!” On the Lakers bench, everyone rushed onto the court and hugged each other.

Black Eight Miracle! They gave the Spurs another dark horse miracle!

From 0-3 to 4-3, no team in the league can do it, but now, the Lakers have done it!

At this moment, every Lakers player seems to see that the road leading to the championship has been laid in front of them. 0 to 3 behind can win four consecutive games, other difficulties and obstacles, what is it!

…

“The Lakers have made a comeback! A 0-3 comeback! A first comeback in history with a 0-3 comeback!”

“My God! Zhang Guan has 101 points, he surpassed Chamberlain’s 100 points! How is this possible? In modern basketball, there are people who can get so many points!”

On May 5, the entire American media was discussing Zhang Guan’s 101 points in a single game, and also discussing the Jedi’s big comeback when the Lakers were 0 to 3 behind. Many media even chanted the Lakers’ slogan to win the championship.

If it is placed in February, the Lakers will definitely be considered a lunatic to win the championship. At that time, the Lakers could not even touch the threshold of the playoffs.

And when they are 0 to 3 behind, the world knows that the Lakers are finished, they can prepare for the next season.

But after just over a week, the Lakers stepped on the powerful Spurs and successfully advanced.

Everyone who has watched this game knows that the Spurs have no problem playing, and it can be said that they have played well. Duncan’s 0.4 second shot is hailed as a classic in the history of the playoffs. But unfortunately, they met a superhuman opponent, a Zhang crown that can get 101 points.

In a modern NBA game, if any player can get a high score of 50 or 60 in a certain game, then the opponent can surrender directly, let alone a super high score of 101 points! Thanks to the Spurs as the opponent, and the Spurs from the 2013 to 2014 season, if they are replaced by other teams, I am afraid they will be defeated long ago.

And the result of this game also affected the selection of regular season MVP.

Originally, Durant was the most popular MVP, and the remaining popular candidates include James, Griffin, Noah and Harden. Their teams have very good records. They entered the playoffs early and their average The data is also very good. Because the Lakers have an average record, they only entered the playoffs on the last day of the regular season, so Zhang Guan’s call to win the MVP is not as good as Durant and James, and at most it is Griffin.

James has won the MVP for the regular season for two consecutive years. People are optimistic about his three consecutive games. Moreover, James is also one of the most popular among American athletes. This is Zhang Guan as a “foreign monk”, really not as good as James. .

Durant’s performance this season is indeed eye-catching, averaging 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists, and in the case of Wei Shao injured, led the Thunder to the first throne in the West, scoring at least 25 in 41 consecutive games. The score also surpassed Jordan’s 40 consecutive games, ranking only after Chamberlain and Robertson, ranking third in history. Compared with Durant, Zhang Guan only led the Lakers to play more than thirty games, which is his biggest weakness.

It’s really unreasonable that a player hasn’t even hit half of the regular season games but has to take the regular season MVP.

However, the appearance of 101 points made the situation of the regular season MVP selection instantaneously reversed.

It is unlikely that any of Chamberlain’s records will be broken by the latecomers, the most memorable of which is the 100 points in a single game, but Zhang Guan scored 101 points, although it was an achievement in the playoffs. , But has already established the image of his first person in basketball in the hearts of the people.

This year, a total of 124 journalists and hosts from the United States and Canada participated in the selection of the regular season MVP. Each judge must select the 1st to 5th picks, including 10 points for the first pick, 7 points for the second pick, and 7 points for the second pick. 3 points 5 points, 4 points 3 points, 5 points 1 point. That is, there are a total of 125 first-place votes.

On May 6, the NBA officially announced that Zhang Guan won the MVP in the regular season of 13-14. Among the 125 first-place votes, Zhang Guan won 122, the remaining 3 were divided between Durant and James, Durant got 2 and James got 1.

He entered the NBA in the first year and won the MVP in the regular season in less than half a season. Zhang Guan is the first and the only one.

Zhang Guan just hurriedly released a winning speech, because on the day of May 6, the Lakers faced the second opponent in the playoffs: Portland Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers ranked fifth in the Western Conference in the regular season. They scored 4-2 to defeat the Houston Rockets, the fourth in the Western Conference, to make the first year of combined “Morden” taste the defeat.

In the controversial series, Howard averaged 26 points and 13.7 rebounds per game, and scored the first center of the NBA. Harden averaged 26.8 points per game, which was unsatisfactory. However, the Rockets coach McHale’s on-the-spot response level is really anxious. , Almost led by the Blazers head coach. In this round of the series, the Rockets scored more points than the Trail Blazers. Among the four losses, three games lost within three points, and the difference is only one ball. If you change to a high-level coach, you can easily make up for the gap in this ball through tactical changes on the spot.

Aldridge Gallierd’s configuration looks more reasonable than the Thunder’s second. It’s just that the Trail Blazers start fiercely and the bench is weak, which is something the entire league knows. In the playoffs, most of the time is the depth of the bench. The Blazers team without the depth of the bench is also destined not to go too far in the playoffs.

In the Western Conference semifinals, although the Blazers are at ease and have home advantage, ranking higher than the Lakers in the regular season, but everyone feels that the Blazers are the weaker side, including the Blazers themselves Think so.

Because the opponent is the Lakers who just reversed the Spurs!

Because there is a Zhang Guan in the Lakers who can score 101 points!

The ability to beat the Spurs in the series is a manifestation of strength, and even the Heat may not be able to do this. And the existence of 101 points in a single game, even if it only exerts 60-70% of the skill, gets a 60-70, is enough for the Blazers to surrender.

Although the Lakers only took a day off and played away, the morale was strong.

From 16 wins and 31 losses to the playoffs, the Lakers experienced a roller coaster journey; from 0 to 3 behind, to a 4 to 3 reversal, the Lakers once again experienced a roller coaster journey. However, these two roller coasters have cast the Lakers’ steely tenacity. 0 to 3 behind the turnaround Spurs, which makes every Lakers player become more confident, even the old players such as Gasol who have won the championship, also completed the transformation in this round of playoffs.

Victory after despair can make the weak people fearless and the vulnerable people tough. On the court, especially in the playoffs, such fearlessness and toughness are the best weapons.

This is the case in the playoffs.

The first match between the two sides, although the Blazers played at home, but the Blazers lost a full 20 points. In the second round of the playoffs, this kind of score gap is uncommon. After all, no one can make it to the second round of the playoffs, and no one is an underdog, and every game of the playoffs will be desperate. A 20-point difference is indeed rare.

The Blazers’ starters are still playing well. Aldridge has a large double-double of 30+15. Lillard is also a quasi-double of 20+10. Batum and Matthews also have good performances. However, after the bench came on, the score was quickly pulled away.

In terms of firepower, the Lakers bench is not weak, as long as it plays normally, it can barely cope with the playoffs. But the Lakers have an additional factor, and that is Nick Young’s nerve knife.

In the case of Nick Young’s lack of power, the Lakers bench is equivalent to the bench of the normal playoff teams, and once Nick Yang’s nerve knife shows power, I believe that many teams’ starting lineups will also find it difficult to parry.

This season, the frequency of Nick Young’s Knife is still relatively high, otherwise it will not be possible to score 17.9 points per game. In the two games that opened the Trail Blazers on the road, Nick Young played well, scoring more than 20 in both games, which is comparable to the total score of the entire Trail Blazers bench.

The bench didn’t give up, and the Blazers lost again in the second game, but this time they only lost 9 points, a big improvement over the first game.

In a series, with two consecutive losses at home, the Blazers are basically a farewell to the playoffs.

On May 10, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles at home.

After a 0-3 turnover and 101 points in a single game, the Lakers returned to Staples like a rebirth. This night, the entire Los Angeles boiled.

Staples Stadium has not been so lively for a long time. The stadium is not only full of seats, but also many big-name celebrities come to help. This is after all Los Angeles, the center of American entertainment, and the world’s largest number of stars. With the victory of the Lakers, the stars are also willing to appear at the Lakers home.

And outside the stadium, it was also packed with fans who did not buy tickets. They were overcrowded on the road, and they cheered for the home team. In order to thank these fans for their support, the Lakers also rented two large screens specifically to broadcast the live game situation.

Staples Stadium has not seen such a grand event for a long time.

…

Under such a home atmosphere, whether it is Aldridge or Lillard, there are some abnormalities. Aldridge entered the second round of the playoffs for the first time, so he has not seen this situation; while Lillard is playing for the first time in the playoffs, lack of experience in the playoffs is inevitable.

The Trail Blazers encountered the Lakers in the playoffs every year, and the shortcomings of inexperience in the playoffs were exposed. To the Lakers’ home court, this shortcoming was magnified several times. The Lakers have players such as Gasol, Farmar and Ci Shiping who have experienced the finals. D’Antoni’s playoff experience is much better than that of the Trail Blazers coach Stotts. The loser seems to become inevitable.

4-0, the Blazers lost two more games, swept by the Lakers, and the Lakers also successfully advanced to the Western Conference finals, they are facing the Thunder and Clippers winners.

The Lakers definitely want to play the Clippers. Now the Lakers are undoubtedly the darling of Los Angeles. Entering the playoffs, the 0-3 Spurs, the Lakers have brought Los Angeles to the miracle again and again, plus a 101 Zhang Guan of the points, the current momentum of the Lakers is probably not much worse than that of the OK combination of the Lakers Dynasty. The same city derby means that every game is the home of the Lakers.

But the Clippers eventually lost to the Thunder with a total score of 2 to 4.

In this round of the series, the Clippers lost nothing wrong. From the statistical point of view, the Clippers have more shots than the Thunder in each game, averaging 10 more shots per game than the Thunder, and there is not much difference between the two sides in shooting rate. Four more assists, three more steals than Thunder, and five fewer turnovers.

However, in rebounding, the Clippers lost 7.2 per game to the Thunder, which is the most important reason for the Clippers to lose. For teams in the playoffs, if there is no abnormal shooting percentage, protecting rebounds is an important thing. The Clippers, with Jordan and Griffin, lost to the Thunder in rebounds.

The Clippers rely on Jordan and Griffin to grab rebounds, while the Thunder’s two rebounders are not center Perkins and forward Ibaka, but Dewey second young! Durant averaged 9.5 rebounds per game, even with Jordan Jr.; and Wei Shao averaged 6 rebounds, 2.2 of which were frontcourt rebounds, which means that he used himself as an inside. From this point, we can see that Wei Shao How desperate to play.

Rebounding is the best in the world. The second player led the team to the Western Conference Finals in this way. They faced the Los Angeles Lakers who were waiting for help.

The war is on the verge.
