Chapter 1928 Once You Take Action, You Can’t Hold It Back

Even though the 4-win gap seems large, this is actually the smallest lead the Lakers have had in the past five seasons. In the most popular 2009-2009 season, the Lakers once led the league by 15 wins. , and in other seasons it was almost around 10 games, and being caught up to only 4 games already speaks volumes.

This also means that in the last month, if the Lakers are not careful or the Heat continue to maintain their form, the Lakers are still very likely to be caught up or even overtaken.

The only good news is that Ji Feng played 13 times in these 15 games, averaging a triple-double of 30.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 12.5 assists per game. He still averaged 29.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 12.4 assists and 3.2 steals per game this season. 1.6 blocks, 65.8% shooting, 58% three-point shooting, and 98.5% free throw shooting. He continues to lead the league in scoring, assists, and steals. This is why he can win the MVP award. The biggest reason for suppressing James on the list.

But as the outside world said, Ji Feng does need to be nervous.

Although James' data is a little worse than Ji Feng's, and the team's performance is also one point weaker, MVP is sometimes selected not only based on data and results. The judges' voting is still subjective. Many times people think Those who have a tight grasp on the candidates will unexpectedly lose the election.

The most famous one is of course the MVP battle between Jordan and Malone in the 1996-97 season. Malone was very good that year, and the Jazz were not bad either. But in terms of statistics, Jordan was still better than Malone. In addition to scoring more assists, he also had more steals, Malone is surrounded by almost all data such as playing time, field goal percentage, effective field goal percentage, true shooting percentage, offensive contribution, defensive contribution, BPM, overall player performance, net efficiency, etc. Malone also has more rebounds, and The Bulls still won 69 games that year, the second-highest number of wins in history at the time, second only to the 72 wins created last season. However, in the end the MVP went to Malone.

This also made Jordan very popular, and he went crazy in the playoffs and won the championship all the way.

This is also the most controversial term in the history of regular season MVP.

The biggest reason for this result is aesthetic fatigue. It's not that Jordan is not strong, it's because he was stronger last year, which caused everyone to have higher demands on him.

Now this kind of argument also appears between Ji Feng and James. Many media have said that compared with Ji Feng and the Lakers, the Heat and James have made more obvious progress. Many people have even begun to build momentum for James, but he will end up. Directly canvassing for votes.

This also made many fans of Ji Feng and the Lakers so angry that they started fighting with James fans online. They also left messages on Ji Feng's social network saying: "Ji Feng, come out quickly, don't take a nap, otherwise James will Going to steal the house!”

However, under such circumstances, Ji Feng remained unmoved and continued to play the game calmly. He had no obvious emotional fluctuations after losing. Instead of making a declaration of competition during the interview, he praised the Heat and James for their good performance.

According to O'Neill's words: "Ji Feng is like a monk."

Translated into Chinese: health care is written all over the face!

Does Ji Feng regard honor as dirt?

Did Ji Feng feel he had enough honors and no longer wanted to compete?

of course not!

There is no such thing as honor. Every mountain is higher than the next. Although Ji Feng is now honored, and among all the people who have made their debut for 5 years in history, no one can compete with Ji Feng, but looking at the entire NBA In history, there are many more honors than Ji Feng.

If nothing else, take their crazy-hyped regular season MVP as an example. Ji Feng is the youngest player in history to win three regular season MVPs. He is also the youngest player in history to win three regular season MVPs after Bill Russell, Chamberlain, and Bird. He is the fourth player to achieve three consecutive regular season MVPs. This honor is already abnormal enough. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, O'Neal, Duncan and others have not been able to achieve three consecutive regular season MVPs. In addition, he is the only player to achieve three consecutive regular season MVPs after Jordan and O'Neal. After that, he became the third player to win three consecutive Finals MVPs, and he also became a historical MVP and FMVP player.

It goes without saying how valuable this honor is, everyone understands it.

But he is not without opponents.

Ji Feng's goal is to reach the top of basketball. The more honors, the better. These are necessary conditions for reaching the top. In terms of regular season MVP, Jordan has 5, Chamberlain has 4, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has even more. I got 6 seats, which is the goal that Ji Feng is chasing.

Moreover, no one has ever won four consecutive regular season MVP awards in history. Ji Feng naturally wants to break this record himself. This is why he takes the least rest among the Lakers.

But it is indeed very difficult to break this record, and James is indeed a great opponent. However, Ji Feng is so relaxed. In addition to implementing the low-key tactics they have formulated long ago, the most important reason is that he is confident!

If it were placed in the Cavaliers, James would definitely be a huge threat if he could play like this, but in the Heat, hey, hey, I'm sorry, Ji Feng is sure to kill Lao Zhan.

In addition to Ji Feng's better statistics in the first game of the season and leading the team to victory, Ji Feng's statistics are also more perfect and the team's winning rate is also higher. Of course, with Malone in front of him, he can't say that he is absolutely stable. , but Malone and James are different.

Leaving Cleveland last season gave James the title of 'traitor'. Don't let too many people badmouth him. Things have gotten better this season, but they are limited. He is still the public enemy.

Ji Feng is still a star that the league strongly supports, and his image is positive enough. The media advantage that James has absolutely over others does not exist with Ji Feng.

When it comes to his relationship with the media, Ji Feng is simply unrivaled.

So no matter what the outside world says, Ji Feng still sits firmly on Diaoyutai until April, the most critical month.

Of course, Ji Feng also knows very well that if he wants to continue to stabilize himself and the team's situation, it's time to make an impact in April!

"I'll just practice with you!" Ji Feng muttered to himself as he looked at the Hornets fans next door on the night of the 1st. He might not have let go for a long time, and tonight was just a warm-up for the sprint in April!

jump ball!

Aminu, an unknown acquaintance next door, was turned into a scum by Bynum. His physical fitness was really worrying, and in this case, Ji Feng let him see what a super body is!

breakthrough!

One step to pass, then three steps to smash!

"It's a pity that I escaped." Ji Feng landed with a regretful look on his face, which scared Aminu next door to the point where he almost wanted to retire on the spot!

After the dunk, the Lakers directly started to teach the game. Ji Feng repeatedly broke into the paint, passed when someone was on defense, and hit when no one was around. For a while, the Hornets' defense was riddled with holes.

Ji Feng scored 16 points and 6 assists in a single quarter to try his best.

Ji Feng, who was enjoying himself, played 12 minutes in the second quarter and scored a season-high 26 points and 3 assists. He scored 42 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in the half!

The Hornets couldn't stand it anymore and surrendered early, leaving Ji Feng's score to regretfully stop at 52 points...
