I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 86 "The Last Battle" (February 2004)
"Richard!"

Liu He woke up Jefferson.

Under Jefferson's still unconscious eyes, Liu Hebiao uttered an extremely classic trash talk.

"Come on, you almost stopped me!"

The Nets attack.

Kidd missed a shot from outside the three-point line, Martin grabbed an offensive rebound and succeeded in the second attack.

12: 4.

Looking back, Jefferson was thrown away by Liu He's counter-run.

It seems that this guy's mentality has collapsed.

Liu He received Payton's pass, pulled up and shot.

"Mosquito" Kidders rushed over to make up the defense, but his height of 196cm was too disadvantageous and did not cause much interference to Liu He at all.

Swish!
15: 4.

Liu He scored 15 of the Lakers' first 13 points, blowing up the Nets by himself.

Exactly, 3 minutes over.

Hanging force mode is over.

Beep!
Lawrence Frank called the second timeout.

Back from the timeout, the mosquitoes began to mark Liu He.

Jefferson switched on Kobe.

Before coming on stage, Kobe glanced at Liu He.

Even Kobe was shocked by Liu He's opening state, and even felt threatened.

too strong!
This also aroused Kobe's fighting spirit.

Isn't it Jefferson? If you can blow it up, so can I.

Jefferson: ...

At this time, he still knew nothing. With the encouragement of his teammate Kenyon Martin, he regained his morale and wanted to play a wonderful performance to make up for the dismal start.

however……

Facing Jefferson, Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then suddenly started after a series of tentative steps.

Jefferson blocks laterally.

Kobe suddenly pulled the ball back and pulled it up.

Swish!
17: 4.

The Nets attack.

Collins scored from Kidd's wonderful pass.

17: 6.

But looking back, Kobe started...pull back...the second start, a ball-handling combo to play Jefferson, clean him up, and go straight into the penalty area.

Clever O'Neill blocked Collins with his bulk early on.

Kobe was still in no man's land, performing a wave of pull-bar dunks.

boom!
19: 6.

The Nets attack.

Mosquito received a pass from Kidd and hit a three-pointer.

Swish!
19: 9.

Under Kidd's combing, the Nets' offense gradually opened up.

However, in just a moment, Kobe faced Jefferson and pulled it up directly.

Swish!
22: 9.

"Roar!"

Kobe roared when he landed, and looked at Liu He, he could beat Jefferson too.

As for the "victim" Jefferson, he was completely confused.

why?
Why are you all targeting me?
The Lakers scored a total of 22 points, 20 of which were all on his head.

Liu He scored 13 points and Kobe Bryant scored 7 points.

Could it be that everyone thinks that I, Richard Jefferson, are easy to bully?

Well, I'm just a bully.

Anyone who is scored 20 points in front of him by his opponent has to doubt himself and his life.

The Nets attack.

Jefferson received a wonderful pass from Kidd and made an open shot to make a three-pointer.

Looking back, Kobe easily passed Jefferson in one step and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

24: 9.

Jefferson has been completely lost, and his defensive ability has dropped to 0.

Beep!
The Nets did not end the first quarter and have been suspended for the third time.

Kenyon Martin rushed to Jefferson and pushed him hard: "What are you doing?"

The game was not over yet, and the Nets fought on their own.

Martin is a well-known "brainless" in the league. Throughout his career, many teammates accused him of being the "source of evil" in the team's locker room.

But tonight, Jefferson played really badly.

Otherwise, Martin wouldn't be so out of control.

Martin has been playing hard all the time, and on the defensive end, he is doing his best to do his own thing. He even makes up for and assists in the defense of the whole team, and encourages his teammates with words.

But when I was working hard, my teammates became colanders, making all my efforts in vain.

Can Martin not be annoyed?

If it were an ordinary person, maybe he was holding back and went back to the locker room.

But "Brainless" Kenyon Martin didn't care about that much.

Especially when I think of Jefferson's pre-game pretense... I'm not Peja, I have a better defense, I won't let a rookie score so many points on me!
Martin was even more annoyed.

You have a "feather" defense!You have been beaten into scum by rookies.

Thus, the present scene happened.

Martin and Jefferson of the Nets Trident fought themselves.

Of course, the performance of Liu He and Kobe can only be said to be the trigger, not the root cause.

In fact, the Nets made it to the finals in the first two seasons in a row, but their heads were shaved twice, which made everyone realize...the Trident did not have the strength to lead the team to win the championship.

This season is actually the Nets' last fight.

As a result, there was a "Galactic Battleship" Lakers team in the West, and a "Five Tigers" Pistons team in the East. The two teams were invincible, and the mentality of the Nets had already exploded.

Even they themselves know that it is impossible for the Nets to win the championship this season. This is the last season of trident cooperation.

The seeds of instability have already been planted, and the performance of Kobe and Liu He is tantamount to watering and speeding up the growth of the seeds.

Seeing that the Nets were fighting internally, Liu He hurried to join in the (hot) fight.

As a result, the system prompts: Conflict +1.

Fuck... what a surprise!

Is this also possible?

After that, when other teams fight, I can't miss it.

But after thinking about it, this kind of direct infighting on the court may not happen once in a few years, and it is too slim to be met by myself.

Soon, Martin and Jefferson were pulled apart.

But the entire Nets team was shrouded in a shadow of despair, no longer fighting.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Nets 128:102.

刘河砍下全场最高的42分8篮板2助攻3抢断3盖帽。

This is also the first time in Liu He's career that he scored 40+ points.

In the last battle in February, he scored 2 points, and Liu He also added important weight to the subsequent selection of the best rookie of the month. The balance of victory has moved away from Anthony and favored Liu He.

Kobe had 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.

O'Neal had 22 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks.

The Big Three scored 92 points together.

Almost topped the Nets team's scoring.

At the end of the game, the Lakers' record came to 49 wins and 9 losses.

In addition, Liu He made 7 three-pointers in this game. The number of three-pointers made this season has reached 219, ranking tenth in history.

……

In this regard, February has passed by in a hurry.

It's time for the monthly awards.

This month's player of the month:
On the Eastern side, Kenyon Martin was the most vocal. As a result, when the game broke out and Martin beat his teammates, the league would definitely not push him.

In the end, the league awarded this honor to O'Neal.

West side:

加内特场均25.6分13.7篮板5助攻1.6抢断2.2盖帽，用超级豪华的数据无可争议地拿下月最佳球员。

Regardless of whether Garnett is strong or not, the ability to collect data is really invincible. In this era, there are few rounds and the data is compressed. Garnett can generate such data in this era, which is indeed amazing.

Consider the Pistons' opponent's goal every night after the Pistons are combined: score more than 70 points.

You can know how much data is compressed during this period.

And the Pistons aren't the only team in the league that excels at defense.

The Spurs teamed up by Duncan and Bowen.

The Pacers teamed up with O'Neal and Artest.

The Timberwolves joined by Garnett and Sprewell.

Of course, there are also the offensive and defensive Lakers.

The defense of these teams is extremely strong.

Coupled with the fact that the handcheck rule has not been canceled, the early 21st century can be called the era with the lowest scoring and strongest defense in the entire NBA history.

Looking back at Garnett's data, is the gold content particularly high?

Then there is the selection of Rookie of the Month.

In the east, the competition is a little more intense than in previous months.

詹姆斯场均21.2分5.6篮板4.7助攻1.5抢断1盖帽。

韦德场均19.4分5.2篮板4.2助攻1.3抢断0.5盖帽。

Hinrich averaged 14.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game.

Wade and Hinrich's performance can be called excellent, but unfortunately still can not threaten the performance of James.

As for the west side, it is still the competition between Anthony and Liu He.

安东尼2月份数据大爆发，场均27.1分6.3篮板2.6助攻1.3抢断0.4盖帽。

但是刘河也不逊色，2月份场均25.8分6.9篮板3.9助攻2.8抢断0.9盖帽。

The long-term absence of Kobe and Malone gave Liu He the opportunity to "scrub the data".

In addition to suffering some losses in scoring, Liu He's other statistics were completely crushed.

This is because in the week after the All-Star Weekend, Liu He was targeted by other teams and held back.

All in all, the data gap between the two is not big.

However, in the head-to-head confrontation not long ago, Liu He defeated Anthony, and the statistics of that game also suppressed Anthony.In addition to the last game, Liu He scored a high score of 42 points... Liu He still has the advantage.

In the end, Liu He and James teamed up and won the Rookie of the Month honor for the third consecutive month.

The mentality of Denver fans collapsed.

Anthony averaged 27.1 points per game, which is more than the bosses of many other teams, and he couldn't win the best rookie of the month.

"Meilon's life is really hard, why did he meet Liu He?"

"That is, in the west. If Mellon was in the east, he would have won the prize properly."

"Let James take advantage of it. Bah! What kind of champion is only worthy of ashes in the west. Liu He or Anthony, which one won't hang him?"

……

But what other fans feel is that... the quality of the 2003 rookies is too high.

The statistics of Liu He, Anthony, and James have been able to beat the bosses of many teams.

The data of Wade and Hinrich can also match the second-in-command of many teams, and it is more than enough.

Additionally, this month:

约什·霍华德场均10.9分5.8篮板1.2助攻0.7抢断1.3盖帽。

克里斯·波什场均10.3分5.7篮板1.2助攻0.8抢断1.1盖帽。

Barbosa averaged 8.8 points, 2.3 points, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Kaman averaged 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

TJ Ford averaged 6.1 points, 2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game.

Pachulia had 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds.

Diaw averaged 4.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

David West had 4.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists.

These people have gradually become important rotations in their respective teams.

In addition, in the 03 class, there are still some that have not been played yet, and will have a place in the future: Korver, Perkins, Pietrus, Kapono...

These players will affect the pattern of the entire NBA in the next 10 or even 20 years.

……

Time to enter October.

The regular season has also come to the final stage.

Teams began to suffer frequent injuries.

The Lakers are no exception.
Kobe, Fisher, Grant Sr., Fox, and George have all been absent one after another.

This allowed Liu He's system to clean up a wave of data.

Of course, because of this period of time, the Lakers' schedule is relatively easy, and there are no particularly strong opponents. The Lakers still maintain a record of unbeaten victories.

Until March 2004, 3.

The Lakers are in Minnesota once again.

Minnesota was a little warmer in March, just like the mood of the Lakers.

According to news from the Lakers, Karl Malone will return in this game, and the entire Lakers team is finally in order.

Sitting on the plane, Liu He looked at the system:
Host: Liu He.

Age: 20.

Height: 204cm, arm span: 215cm, weight: 100kg.

弹跳：65、速度：81、力量：85、耐力：70、平衡：68、爆发力：69、核心：70、柔韧：65。

Under the basket: 47, mid-range shots: 79, three-pointers: 86.

控球：70、传球：76、视野：78、突破：66、背打：23。

Rebounds: 56, running positions: 83, pick-and-rolls: 73.

Single defense: 77, assistance defense: 82, steals: 74, blocks: 48.

[Hundred steps through Yang] (Level 243 badge, 500/12 three-pointers. Increase [-]% three-pointer ability.)
[Vietnam War and Bravery] (Level 8 badge, 20/5 conflict. Increase dynamic talent by 3%, [-] minutes.)
[Break the boat and sink the boat] (Level 7 badge, 20/5 injuries. Increase finishing ability by 3%, [-] minutes.)
[Beautiful and beautiful] (A badge, 1/3 All-Star. Increase viewing by 20%.)
Talent points: 0.

At present, Liu He has scored 243 three-pointers, ranking third in history.

Ahead of him are:
First, Dennis Scott, 267.

Second, George McLeod, 257 credits.

According to Liu He's output, in about 7 games, Liu He will be able to complete the final surpass and create a new historical record.

Of course, this game has also attracted the attention of the entire league.

Because the Timberwolves are one of the few teams that can pose a slight threat to the Lakers.

Although almost no one believes that the Timberwolves can beat the complete Lakers, most fans expect a miracle to happen.

In the face of the menacing Lakers, the Timberwolves also seem to feel a huge threat.

Coach Philip Sanders ordered the Timberwolves to adopt closed training, rejected all outside interviews, and claimed to be fully prepared for the game.

At this moment, Barkley expressed his views on the show.

"This is the Timberwolves' last chance!"

"Carl suffered a serious injury after all. He has been absent for too long, which will inevitably affect his competitive state. He has just come back and will definitely struggle. So this is actually the weakest time for the Lakers. In the future, with Malone's With a recovery, the Lakers will only get better."

"So, the Timberwolves want to beat the Lakers, this is the best and last chance!"

Barkley's words won the nods of Cole and Smith.

Fans who watched the show also agreed.

Even Minnesota fans think so.

So, after the closed training session, Garnett shouted:

"I will regard this game as the last battle of my career!"

This sentence greatly encouraged the momentum of the Timberwolves, and also made Minnesota fans cheer up.

The major media even named the game "The Last Battle".

This is the real bottom line!
Soon, the Lakers in Minnesota felt the momentum.
