453: The road to advancement in hell difficulty(2/3)
The next day, with the help of Li Ang, Kobe defeated Arenas and successfully won the All-Star MVP trophy.
Arenas really wants to call the police. This All-Star Game is a show for both humans and ghosts. Why should I be the one getting beaten?
The three-point contest was ignored yesterday, but Arenas was taken seriously during the All-Star Game today.
To what extent does it matter? Li Ang was keeping an eye on Arenas throughout the game!
Moreover, Li Ang's defense is very serious and does not show any disrespect at all.
Arenas is convinced. Damn it, why are you so serious about becoming an All-Star?
Why am I always the one who's hurt!?
Seeing other people flying and escaping in various performances, but being guarded so that he didn't even have a chance to make a move, Arenas felt like he really wanted to take out the big treasure.
He didn't take it seriously when he should take it seriously, and he didn't despise it when he should take it seriously. An All-Star with only Arenas injured was born.
Li Ang actually didn't want to guard against Arenas, but he had no choice but to see how pitiful the cauliflower snake was and decided to help him.
In this way, Kobe won the AMVP trophy and avenged Staples' 60 points.
Kobe thought that after winning the AMVP, he would become the focus of this All-Star Game.
However, after the game was over, Li Ang was still the most popular.
Kobe felt that he was lonely as an AMVP.
Although the MVP is in my hands, it seems to be in Li Ang’s body!
There is no way, after last night's miraculous three-point performance, it was already destined that this would be an All-Star weekend belonging to Li Ang.
After the All-Star game, Li Ang once again became the star of the league.
The league also began a secret investigation into referee Donaghy.
Li Angke has not forgotten how Donaghy treated the Suns last season.
Now that the Spurs' problem has been temporarily solved, it's time to solve Donaghy's problem.
Li Ang may not be able to remember other things. But when it comes to grudges, he remembers them very well.
During the league's investigation, the regular season has not stopped.
The Suns' momentum did not weaken due to the All-Star Weekend. After returning, the Suns had another winning streak.
Moreover, in a game against the Mavericks in early March, Li Ang led the team to a successful revenge with a performance of 38 points in a single game!
To be honest, the Mavericks in this history are indeed very strong, especially offensively, they are simply invincible.
In the original history, the Mavericks were defeated by the Warriors, mainly because Dirk was guarded.
In that series, as a power forward, Dirk's shooting percentage was less than 40%.
With Dirk being guarded, all the offensive pressure fell on Chouhuo. Chouhuo was strong, but not to the point where he could take the lead on his own.
But now, Dirk has Tracy McGrady by his side. After so many years of partnership, these two have already trusted each other and have a perfect understanding.
What's more, the current McGrady is still a darkened McGrady. With his desire to win aroused, he is even more terrifying than usual.
The crossfire between the two, coupled with Terry's cold shots from time to time, made the Mavericks' offense impossible to defend against.
The two teams fought fiercely until the last 32 seconds, with the Mavericks trailing by 4 points.
At this time, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer, and Li Ang successfully got the rebound from the new card king Xiao O's position.
But instead of passing the ball, Li Ang chose to push for a breakthrough himself!
Facing McGrady, the first line of defense near the court, Li Ang used a smooth change of hands behind his back to pass McGrady cleanly. Then Li Ang entered the penalty area and was surrounded by Mavericks players for a while.
This creates a one versus four situation!
But in the crowd, Li Ang did not choose to pass the ball, but relied on a group of Mavericks players to force a layup.
Li Ang's original intention was to commit a foul, but he didn't know that the referee didn't call it.
This is the case with NBA referees. For them, viewing ability is sometimes more important than impartiality.
They won't do things like stopping the game at critical moments unless they have to.
Li Ang's layup under the defense of three people naturally bounced out of the frame, but just when the Mavericks thought they could reverse the situation, Li Ang grabbed the rebound over the heads of four Mavericks players, and then jumped on the spot and succeeded in the second attack!
Li Ang's strong one-on-five this time opened the point difference to 6 points!
As for the game time, there were only 20 seconds left, and Li Ang almost killed the game!
After this wave of one-on-five, Li Ang glared at Dirk and the darkened Tracy McGrady and yelled.
In the west, if you want to climb to the top, you have to ask me if I agree!
Dirk and McGrady looked at Li Ang showing off his power and were very unconvinced.
Although the Mavericks reached the top of the Western Conference last season, they did not meet the Suns.
Although the Suns were eliminated in the second round last season, it was because they were full of injured players.
This season, the Suns are healthy and the Mavericks are stronger.
Who will eventually become the talker in the West is also full of suspense.
Dirk and McGrady will no longer be weak. If the Mavericks meet the Suns in the playoffs this game, it will definitely be an extremely bloody battle.
On the Mavericks side, Li Ang finally completed his revenge.
But the wasp's revenge did not go smoothly.
After the All-Star Game, the Suns met the Hornets twice and won the game.
But despite winning the game, Li Ang failed to complete the task of educating his son Paul.
Li Ang is also very helpless. He plays the No. 1 position and Li Ang plays the coach. They can't play together at all in the game.
Without being able to match up with the villain, it would be difficult for Li Ang to play a round that would embarrass Paul.
Li Ang can't defend Paul by himself and then let Nash defend Peja, right?
Then Nash couldn't be shot by Peja until he rolled his eyes?
Nash didn't know how to guard the No. 1 position, and there was no possibility of switching defenses with him.
There was no way to directly humiliate Paul, so Li Ang could only start with the score.
The Suns won both games, once by 8 points and once by 14 points.
To be honest, I won a lot. After all, I beat the Hornets by an average of 11 points per game.
However, although this point difference is not small, it is not enough to make Paul feel ashamed.
Ever since, Li Ang failed to make a date twice, and he was very annoyed!
What's even more annoying is that since the two sides will no longer meet in the regular season, Li Ang's mission of educating the younger generations cannot be completed!
There is only one Paul missing from completing the task, and Li Ang is really unwilling to do so.
Paul is not willing to give in, why? Why can’t I defeat that bastard!
Next time, next time he meets me he won't be so lucky!
It's a pity that there will be no next time. It's not that I, Paul, can't do it, it's that I don't have the chance to abuse Li Ang!
But if they are unwilling to give in, both parties can only accept this reality.
Li Ang was unable to complete the task of educating the younger generation this season, and Paul was unable to defeat Li Ang.
However, as the regular season progressed, both Li Ang and Paul discovered that the situation was still changing!
In original history, the Hornets were only tenth in the Western Conference, two full spots short of the playoffs.
But in this history, at the end of the regular season, Li Ang discovered that the Hornets might become seventh in the Western Conference!
In the original history, the Hornets could only be ranked tenth because Paul only played 64 games that season and missed almost 20 games, while Peja only played 13 games before being reimbursed for the season.
The absence of these two people will naturally have a great impact on the Hornets' record.
But throughout this history, Paul and Peja have always been very healthy.
Ever since, the day before the final game of the regular season, the Hornets defeated the Nets and actually finished with 41 wins and 40 losses.
At this time, the Warriors and Clippers were also 41 wins and 40 losses!
Because the Hornets met the Warriors four times this season and won three times, and beat the Clippers three times. Therefore, even if the Hornets, Warriors and Clippers win the next game, even if the records of the three teams are all 42 wins, the final one will advance.
A wasp too!
As a player who is extremely driven to win, Paul will naturally not let go of any opportunity to lead his team into the playoffs.
Just like that, in the final game of the regular season on April 18, Paul scored 32 points, defeating the SuperSonics, which had no hope of the playoffs.
And the Warriors unexpectedly lost to the lousy Trail Blazers!
This means that the last ones to advance to the playoffs will be the Clippers and Hornets.
The Hornets qualified for the playoffs in seventh place, and the Clippers became eighth in the Western Conference.
But the warriors who created the Black Eight Miracle in the original history have no chance to create another miracle!
