unfinished glory

Chapter 300 The Contest of CIC

Before the start of the second round, the MVP of the regular season was announced.

Unlike everyone's prediction that Li Chongxiao and Westbrook will fight against each other, the gap between the two is still obvious.Li Chongxiao's first choice rate is around 80%, while Westbrook is only 15%.

看来是李冲霄一些列的降维打击，让评委们不自觉的偏向了他。当然也要他的数据够好。威斯布鲁克场均拿到31.6分10.7篮板10.4助攻，李冲霄的42分8.1篮板6.7助攻也丝毫不差。

More importantly, one only leads the eighth team, and the team wins less than 50%, while the other side is the first in the list, with 64 wins.In the direct dialogue of the playoffs, the situation is also one-sided.

The fifth MVP trophy in his career has already tied Jordan, and the number of championships is also the same.Li Chongxiao has won the scoring title for nine consecutive seasons, and his total points in the regular season have reached 34866 points, surpassing Jordan's 32292 points.

With the main honors of the two sides tied, only a few Jordan fans are still stubborn, and most people have rationally realized that it is only a matter of time before Li Chongxiao surpasses Jordan.

Fans don't have to feel that they have missed Jordan, they have witnessed the era of Li Chongxiao.

Li Chongxiao is not yet 31 years old and is in the golden age of a player.According to his physical condition and self-discipline, playing until the age of 40 is not a problem.During these nine years, he can also accumulate honors and statistics that no other All-Star player can get in his lifetime.

In fact, all players in the league are extremely envious of Li Chongxiao's three advantages.One is his heaven-defying touch. Since he led the team alone, almost every game has been double-teamed by two or more people, but his shooting percentage has always been stable at more than 50%, and this season even reached 55%.

The second is his non-injury attribute. How many times he has been thrown to the ground by malicious fouls, but he can stand up quickly after sitting quietly for a while or receiving simple treatment from the team doctor.James, who is stronger, can't match this point.

The third is naturally his physical strength.He insisted on playing 82 regular season games every season, and at least entered the second round of the playoffs.But no matter the regular season or the playoffs, I have never seen him exhausted.

The only thing restricting his progress now may be the sense of boredom of honor.After many players enter the NBA, they feel fresh at the beginning, but after a long time, the daily training, running, and competition will make them feel seriously tired.Some players can persevere and strictly demand themselves, so they can play for many years.There are also many players who slowly relax, indulging in comfort, and gradually disappear from the crowd and fade out of everyone's vision.

But judging from this season, Li Chongxiao is still thinking about changing teams and competing for the MVP, and he doesn't seem to be tired at all.

……

Leonard was born in the Spurs, and he was also trained along Li Chongxiao's path, and now he has played well.Therefore, the game between the Lakers and the Spurs was rendered by the media as a battle between Li Chongxiao and his successor.Although Li Chongxiao is not old yet, it is far from the time to hand over power.

The Spurs arranged for Leonard to defend Li Chongxiao at the beginning of the game, and they did not dare to use other people as the main defense to avoid being beaten by the latter.However, the Lakers did not allow their core to defend the opponent's core. Usually, they take good care of the team's superstars.

Even under Leonard's main defense, Li Chongxiao still scored a lot of points in the first quarter. To win the MVP, he has to show the quality of the MVP to show the fans at home.Driven by him, the Lakers also maintained a high shooting percentage.

These two teams are mainly mid-range shooting teams, and most of their offenses are completed outside the three-second zone and within the three-point line.

The offensive method of CIC is contrary to the three-pointers and offensive tactics at the basket that the league now advocates.Under the current league's whistle-blowing policy that encourages offense, many teams and players feel the inefficiency of CIC.

The closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score goals. This has been an undeniable truth since the invention of basketball.Therefore, the offense in the three-second zone has always been one of the main research objects of basketball tactics.

Before the previous basketball rules encouraged offense so much, there was a saying in the league that the insider wins the world. Among the top ten superstars in history, centers accounted for four.The center has the most championships, the center has the most MVPs, the center has the strongest scoring ability, and the center has the most points.

Although the three-pointer has a long history, it has not become the mainstream of offensive methods until recent years.Simply calculating the scoring efficiency, it is easy to conclude that the three-pointer is more efficient than the CIC.Under the same shooting percentage, the three-pointer is 1 point more than the mid-range shot; with the same score, 33% of the three-pointers are equivalent to 50% of the mid-range shots.

It is too difficult to hit 50% of the mid-range shots. Among the players who shoot a certain number of players in the league, there are only a few players such as Li Chongxiao, Durant, Paul, Middleton, etc., and nearly 33 players have more than 200% of the three-pointers. .

The three-pointer has a fixed distance and a fixed point, which is much easier to practice, and all role players can practice well.The CIC covers a wide area, covering the entire three-point range outside the three-second zone. Not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary players to practice well, even superstars rarely reach the top.Take Wade as an example, the CIC looks decent, which is just average.

Box scoring also has its limitations.The scoring efficiency in the three-second zone is high, but it is also easy to be defended.It's hard to do too many moves with two people squeezed into a small space. Not every player is O'Neal.

Three-pointers are equally easy to target.For a general three-pointer, a good position can disrupt the opponent's shooting rhythm.When encountering top three-pointers, close defense can also play a very good role.

There are many shooting methods that can be used in CIC, such as emergency stop, turn, back, pick and roll, catch and shoot, dry pull, step back, etc., plus there is no fixed release point and fixed release distance, it is very difficult defense.

This is also Li Chongxiao's sharpest weapon in the past ten years. Whenever he encounters a targeted defense in the playoffs, he will rely on mid-range shots to widen the score and recover the point difference.As he won more and more championships, the new generation of the league imitated him more and more.

Although many teams have adopted the three-pointer as the most common weapon, there are still quite a few followers of the mid-range shot.Even when the Warriors won the championship last season, although Curry's three-pointer was the team's most deadly weapon, Thompson's mid-range shots at critical moments in several games helped the team through the difficulties.

In the few seasons with Li Chongxiao, Thompson's offensive skills have been fully developed, but his ball-handling ability and physical fitness are really average, otherwise it would be more than enough to be the boss of a certain team like Paul George.

Neither the Lakers nor the Spurs have obvious shortcomings in their lineups. The players on both teams have good tactical skills and rarely make mistakes in the game.The coaches all achieve the tactical results they want, and there is no one who restrains the other. In this case, the competition is internal strength.

The combination of David Lee and Aldridge of the Spurs is better offensively than the Lakers' Horford and David West, but the defense is a little worse.Conley in the vacancy is stronger than Jennings now, but Jabari Parker is a player who can become the No. [-] player after all, and his talent is much higher than that of Danny Green.

When the performance of other teammates is evenly matched, the winner of the two teams lies in the core players.Li Chongxiao's offensive ability is much higher than Leonard's. Although he didn't explode in the game, the Lakers' lead is still expanding a little bit.

By 3 minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers' lead had reached 15 points.Seeing that the team is gradually falling behind and will be suffocated a little bit if they don't work hard, Leonard must explode.He was at the horn on the right, and he made 4 consecutive mid-range shots and a three-pointer. He personally played a wave of 11:4 offensive climax, narrowing the point difference to less than ten.

After the timeout, Li Chongxiao also followed up and scored consecutive goals, forming a confrontation with Leonard.In this quarter, he only scored 17 points, 22 points behind Leonard, but it was enough to re-extend the lead to 13 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Leonard, who played the third quarter, had to rest, but Li Chongxiao was still full of energy.Without a strong defense, he played more freely, scoring 7 points in a row, widening the point difference to 20 points in one fell swoop.

After Leonard came on the field, Li Chongxiao started the decisive battle mode and stepped forward to defend alone.One offense and one defense, after half a quarter of the game, Leonard made 6 of 2 shots. The Spurs could no longer recover and lost the first game.
