So I am the god of basketball?

The media also talked about the "scoring king."

After Jordan entered April, he strategically gave up the pursuit of the "scoring king". Even so, it was equivalent to Meng Lang breaking his way to continue to win the "scoring king". But compared to the championship, this "scoring king" is really worthless!
Rather than losing the "scoring champion", Jordan was more afraid of losing the championship!
At his age, as well as his status in the world, everything should be focused on the championship, not other awards.

Jordan knows this very well.

In this way, Meng Lang finally became the "scoring king" this season with an average of 32.6 points per game. This was also the first time he won this award in the fourth season of his career.

The reporter asked a very interesting question: "Michael won the first 'scoring title' starting from the third season of the season and has won it for 7 consecutive seasons. Dream, do you think you can replicate this miracle?"

Meng Lang said: "I just won my first 'scoring title', and you ask me this question. I don't know whether you are too confident in me or too unconfident in Michael. What you think he can do, I It can definitely be done well. Well, no wonder, I have indeed exceeded many people’s imagination, otherwise you wouldn’t ask me this!”

The reporter was embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to provoke some more opposition between Meng Lang and Jordan, but Meng Lang is now an absolute media veteran. In the face of these "pits", not only can he avoid them, but he can also counterattack and let questions be asked. The reporter felt embarrassed.

In addition to Meng Lang winning the "scoring title", the Lakers also had Charles Barkley, who averaged 12.8 rebounds per game and successfully won the "rebounding title".

Rodman's average of 14.3 rebounds per game is actually much higher than him. However, Rodman only played 52 games this season. In terms of attendance rate, it was not enough to participate in this selection. So in the end, this award still belongs to Buck. profit.

This is the first time Barkley has won the title of "Rebounding King" since the 1986-1987 season. It's a coincidence that it happened exactly 10 years ago.

The reporter asked him if this meant anything, and Barkley's answer was straightforward: "It means that there are many ways for me to affect the game. With the Lakers, I don't need to play like I did with the Suns."

It also succeeded in making the reporter who asked the question shut up in anger.

After the last press conference of the regular season, Meng Lang returned to the locker room and found Chuck Daly waiting in the locker room. Other Lakers players had not left either. Meng Lang was the last to end the interview. After he entered the locker room Afterwards, Chuck Daly said: "Listen guys, tomorrow will be the same as usual, 9: in the morning, I hope to see you in the arena!"

This is his way of telling everyone...

The real battle begins now.

The Lakers' playoff schedule is quite favorable.

Their opponent in the first round was the Los Angeles Clippers.

This means they don't need to go to the road and can play the entire first-round series in Los Angeles.

Given the advanced age of all members of the Bulls, the Lakers have a clear physical advantage in the first round.

But in Chuck Daly's view, if the physical advantage is not used well, it will affect the state of the game.

When a team is used to fighting in a high-pressure state, they will only become more and more courageous! This is especially true for the Bulls with Jordan.

How the Lakers can make good use of this physical advantage is to increase training and adjust to the best state...

If the Lakers' goal this season is to win the championship, then this is destined to be a protracted battle!

On April 4, the day after the regular season ended, the league officially gave the final "Rookie of the Year" results for this season. As originally, Allen Iverson became the final "Rookie of the Year."

A total of 38% of the votes were received.

Marbury, as his biggest competitor for the "No. 30 pick", is also a close second when it comes to competing for the "Best Rookie of the Year". This season, he received a total of 8% of the votes, which is more than Allen Iver. Sen was down %.

其实他场均15.8分7.8助攻的数据，相比阿伦-艾弗森的23.5分4.1篮板7.5助攻要差很多。

If it were someone else, the difference in votes would never be so small.

It can be seen that in the early days of his career, Allen Iverson's influence in the media was really very small, while Marbury, as the "Son of New York", enjoyed a lot of exposure from the New York media, which made him even a small player like Milwaukee. The city can also have enough exposure to compete for "Best Rookie".

In fact, it can be seen from this incident that honors are indeed heavy, but there are various factors that determine its ownership. It is not just pure data and performance on the court, but factors off the court are also very important.

Allen Iverson's "gangster background" has always been something David Stern hates.

Kobe didn't even get a single vote.

I heard that he specially posted the newspaper report on the matter on the basketball court's basket. He originally wanted to motivate himself, but ended up smashing too much iron and directly smashing it...

Well, this is also a way to vent!
Meng Lang was interviewed during this period, and the reporter mentioned this matter as expected: "Do you think it is fair that Kobe didn't get a single vote?"

Meng Lang said: "He will definitely feel that he is the best rookie, so this matter will not cause him any trouble!"

The reporters laughed at this, but when they thought about it carefully, it was indeed in line with the image of Kobe in their eyes. This is a child who refuses to admit defeat.

Ok……

child!

When this kind of character appears in a child of 17 or 18 years old, everyone will think that this child is very good and very competitive.

But as he gets older, he is still so paranoid and stubborn, and everyone will think that he is incorrigible and has such a bad personality!

Different ages require different personalities.

As Guo Degang said, it is normal to be crazy before the age of thirty, but if you are still crazy after the age of thirty, it is destined to be difficult to make a difference.

On the court, the age difference is even smaller.

When you first entered the league, you could be very aggressive, because age is your asset.

But after two or three seasons in the league, if you are still unable to realize your talent and potential, you must learn to accept your fate.

And once your talent is fulfilled, this arrogant age can be extended appropriately!

Just like later in 02, Kobe wanted to compete with Shaquille O'Neal, the league's number one player at the time, for the position of "team boss," but everyone thought it was normal because he also showed that ability.

Who is willing to be the "second child" for the rest of his life?

To a certain extent, Kobe can be regarded as a "spoiled" child.

At least the Los Angeles media has been tolerant of him. Just like much of the nation's media is being tolerant of LeBron.

This is a fact!

Chuck Daly's emphasis was very successful. During the three days of training before the start of the playoffs, the Lakers were in a tight state. Everyone practices more consciously. This atmosphere continued until the playoffs began.

In fact, there is not much controversy about the Lakers winning the first round of the playoffs. Most of the media are optimistic about the Lakers advancing, and even saw them sweep the Clippers 3-0.

The Clippers themselves entered the playoffs this season by accident. I'm afraid even they themselves didn't expect that they would actually make the playoffs this season. Meng Lang felt that he had to kowtow in front of Tim Duncan.

If it weren't for the large-scale failure of the Western Conference, it would be really difficult for the Clippers to enter the playoffs with their original lineup.

Just look at their record.

Only 36 wins…

The winning rate is only 43.9%!

Last season, the team with this winning percentage ranked ninth in the Western Conference, and last season, this winning percentage ranked tenth in the Western Conference.

It is equivalent to saying that the Lakers' opponents in the first round are teams that have gone home to fish at this time in previous years. As long as you pay a little attention and don't treat the other side as a human being, the boat will definitely not capsize.

And with the current state of alert for all members of the Lakers team, they can't do it even if they want to!

On April 4, the day before the playoffs started, Meng Lang suddenly saw on the news that Monica had come to Los Angeles and was preparing to join the team for filming. He found the phone number that Monica left for him at that time.

After Cleveland came back, Meng Lang never called Monica. The reason was simple. The more anxious he was, the less anxious he was. Monica is not a prostitute like Jenny Buss or Scarlett. If you meet and chat well, you can go to bed directly when you feel something.

I only had three relationships in a few decades. And they are all long-term relationships. It can be seen from this that Monica is the kind of woman who is very cautious about her feelings. If you want to have a story with such a woman, you shouldn't be too impatient. Taking your time is the right choice.

Meng Lang is also ready to fight a "protracted war".

The call went over and was answered quickly. A gentle female voice said: "Hello?"

"it's me……"

"You finally called..." Monica's tone contained some anger. Because since she gave Meng Lang her phone number, she had to answer almost every unfamiliar number. She has no habit of answering the phone before going to bed, and has developed a "conditioned reflex" to open her eyes immediately even if she hears a phone call in her sleep. She was afraid that the strange number she didn't answer happened to be Meng Lang's, which would cause a misunderstanding. "Are you okay? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup later?"

Meng Lang smiled and said, "How long has it been? If I'm still not recovered, then how heavy is your foot? Don't worry, I'm fine..."

"That, that's good..."

"I was watching the news today. Have you come to Los Angeles?"

"Well... I recently took on a new role... What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to invite you to watch another game. The game will start tomorrow. I have prepared the tickets for you. You must be there on time!"

"I……"

"I'll send you the time on your phone. See you then. Don't be late!"

"Oh, eh? No, no, wait, wait a minute..."

Monica only heard a busy signal, and then saw that Meng Lang's text message had been sent, with the time and seat number written on it. She held her phone and read the text message for a long time, and finally replied "ok".

Meng Lang snapped his fingers coolly and walked around the living room a few times with "Second Dream" in his arms. After making the little guy giggle, he returned to the room to rest contentedly. Monica promised him to come to the game, which he expected.

When making an appointment with a woman, don't get entangled. The more entangled you are, the more likely the woman will be more hesitant than you.

Anyway, for a woman who is interested in you, no matter how simple and direct you make her date, she will come in the end; for a woman who is not interested, no matter how nice you say it, she will most likely not go out with you.

In many cases, whether a method works or not depends on the person!
Of course, just because Monica agreed to Meng Lang come to watch the game, she was not necessarily interested in Meng Lang. But for a person with her personality, she definitely felt a little guilty about kicking Meng Lang, so it was reasonable to agree.

Early the next morning, Staples Center was bustling with activity.

The annual "playoffs" are coming, and this is the most exciting time for Lakers fans.

This year will be even more exciting than in previous years. The atmosphere that only existed in the "Magic Johnson Era" is back this season!
Groups of fans wearing Lakers jerseys hang out in front of Staples Center. Those with tickets waited for the stadium to open, while those without tickets waited until dark, then went into the fan bars around the stadium to wait for the show to take place.

The reporters sighed at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, feeling vaguely that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it. Forty minutes before the game started, looking at the packed house of Lakers fans and the Clippers players entering the venue from the visiting team's tunnel, they finally came to their senses:

Isn’t this also Los Angeles?

Where are the Clippers fans?

Why are we only seeing Lakers fans now?

It is said that Lakers fans are powerful. Now it seems that this is no longer a question of whether they are powerful or not.

The Clippers are completely redundant here!
They can only explain this situation by saying "this game is the Lakers' home court." But only the local media in Los Angeles know that two fans wearing Clippers jerseys may still be seen on the sidelines of the Clippers and Lakers game during the regular season. But as long as we make the playoffs...

Well, this is actually the first time they have seen such a situation, because they can’t remember the last time the Clippers met the Lakers in the playoffs. Anyway, the Clippers have not been there in the past ten years. Met the Lakers in the playoffs. The main reason is that they have entered the playoffs too few times, and if they want to meet the Lakers, it will be even less.

Well, in fact, we can see from the results why Lakers fans have such an overwhelming advantage!
There was some commotion in the courtside camera at this time, because at the entrance of the fan tunnel, an amazingly beautiful woman was walking towards the sidelines. She didn't look dressed up, but she just raised her hands and looked away. Once you have long curly hair, you will look so gorgeous:
Monica Bellucci actually came to watch the Lakers game!

This is……

For Meng Lang?

It's no wonder that these reporters made such an association immediately. It was really Monica's famous kick towards Meng Lang during the All-Star Game. Fans across the United States know this.

Is this to "settle the knot"? (End of chapter)
