"Kobe, Kobe!"

The MVP shouts from the tsunami at Staples Mountain made everyone watching feel excited. Looking at the Zijin No. 24 in the center of the field, everyone thought that this man's performance today was worthy of the MVP call. Xinli has brought the Lakers, who have almost no advantage in the fiercely competitive West, to the present!

It was he who pulled the Lakers back from the brink by scoring again and again. In this crucial game against the Suns, almost no one can think that the Lakers can beat the Suns. This is the penultimate game of the Lakers regular season , is also the strongest opponent they have encountered in the closing stage. Although they know that it is difficult for them to win, Kobe still has to fight. Now the Lakers rank seventh in the West with a record of 40 wins and 39 losses. Seeing that they are far from the sixth in the West The Nuggets still have three victories. In the last three games, there is obviously no hope. Logically speaking, they don't need to fight so hard. They can take a rest in the last few games to prepare for the playoffs. But the Golden State Warriors behind them are closely following the Lakers. Their record is 39 wins and 40 losses.

In the end, everyone thought that the Warriors would not be able to catch up with the Lakers. After all, the Lakers still held the advantage of four wins at that time, but in the final stage of the regular season, the Lakers finally had a problem. A wave of four consecutive losses directly put the Lakers All the advantages of the Lakers have been lost. On the other hand, the Warriors have become more and more courageous. They have only lost one game since April, so this game, including the remaining two games, is extremely critical for the Lakers. They cannot afford to lose. up!

Although neither the Mavericks nor the Suns are easy to play, they are more willing to face the Suns than the Mavericks. If they face the Mavericks, their weak inside will definitely be hammered by the MVP of the regular season. The big man is definitely the strongest offensive insider in the league now, bar none!

Dirk Nowitzki has played 74 games for the Mavericks so far this season, averaging 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, leading the team to the league's first record. Great transformation. Now he is not only the strongest power forward in history. Scoring is like finding something out of a pocket for him. Now he is also the best in the league in terms of driving his teammates. With his powerful offense Under the influence, the Mavericks' offensive firepower ranks second in the league, with an average of 100 points per game, second only to the Suns' 103 points. In the entire league, only the Suns and the Mavericks score on average Over a hundred, which is incredible in this slow-paced era.

The Suns' offense is strong because of their tactical requirements, and the Mavericks' offense is that they have Nowitzki. In the few games without Nowitzki, they have almost never won, so Nowitzki was elected as the MVP of the regular season There is almost no doubt that Nash is second only to him in the regular season MVP rankings, followed by Kobe and Duncan. There is no doubt that it is impossible for the league to make Nash MVP three times in a row. This is not in line with the intention of the league. .

So although the Lakers are not very good inside and outside, compared to the mediocre inside, they still have Kobe on the outside!

Moreover, in the playoffs, the player's touch fluctuates greatly. For the Suns, if their hand feel is poor, the Lakers have a chance. With Kobe, the league's strongest single-handed player, They won't be afraid of either team in their muscular playoff battles.

So no matter where you look at this game against the Suns, it is very important. Once they lose, they will easily fall to the eighth position in the Western Conference. Ready for the season.

Although everyone knows that it is almost impossible to go far in the cruel playoffs with the current incomplete lineup of the Lakers, but no one will give up until the end. After all, what if?

Kobe made an emergency stop in the face of Lagabel. Seeing that Lagabel was standing firmly and was not deceived by his shooting fakes, Kobe's body did not stagnate at all. He turned around with his left foot as the axis and then raised the ball to make a shot. , this realistic fake action could not help but attract the shift of Lagabel's center of gravity, but Lagabel's body stood very straight, Kobe, who wanted to make a foul, saw that Lagabel didn't give him a chance at all, Kobe turned around Twirling in the air, using an extremely weird posture to avoid the interference of Lagabel's big hand blocking the shot, the ball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced into the basket.

In an instant, the dull Staples Arena, which had watched the gap between the Lakers and the Suns gradually widen, boiled. Almost all the fans were cheering for Kobe's difficult goal. He lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground. Kobe roared even more. He was very tired from fighting wits and bravery with Lagabel, the best defensive player in the league. hope.

Gao Tian, ​​who witnessed the ball at close range, couldn't help applauding Kobe's ball in his heart. It was definitely a good ball in terms of difficulty and details. Lagabel defended it very well, but Kobe was The ball can always be scored in various ways, even if it is the most difficult action, even if Kobe is pushed into a desperate situation, but as long as Kobe has the ball, the game is not over yet, and defensive players cannot take it lightly.

Although Kobe has put in all his efforts, he can't do all the things of a team by himself. Facing a team like the Suns with a strong inside line, Bynum of the Lakers played only 36 minutes in the inside line. With 12 points and 6 rebounds, such a sluggish performance made all the Lakers fans sigh. Although the opponent is very strong, it is even more sad that the teammates are not strong. After all, there was a chance.

In the end, under the scoring of Gao Tian and Nash, the Suns defeated the Lakers 118:103. After the game ended, the Suns were only three games away from the playoffs, and now almost all the team rankings in the East and West are determined. In addition to the fact that the Lakers and the Warriors will be the eighth in the Western Conference, which is almost certain to lose, there is still some suspense. As long as the Lakers lose one of the next two games, they will give up their seventh in the Western Conference. The opponents of each team in the first round of the playoffs have basically been determined.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Sonics and the Kings in a row. Although the Warriors also won the remaining games, they still ranked eighth in the Western Conference. This made many people regret, and the Warriors fans were even more uncomfortable. Just being out is really not a good result, but there is no way, the fact is settled.

After the Suns won the Jazz, they lost to the Rockets in the last game of the regular season. In the end, the Suns ranked second in the Western Conference with 64 wins and 18 losses. This is also one of the best regular season records in their history. The opponent in the round has finally been determined, the seventh Lakers in the West!
