Chapter 300 Chasing the Scoring Champion

Before the All-Star Game, the Jazz's record was 44 wins and 5 losses, reaching an astonishing 26 consecutive victories.

To be honest, before Stockton was injured, the three giants of Lee Mars really scratched each other. They made a good start at the beginning of the season. Free time.

Fortunately, with the rematch of the main force, the momentum of the Jazz continued unabated. In the next week, they played three big games and became 29 in a row. It hit the record of 29 consecutive victories created by the wealthy team the Lakers.

But things are always improving. The Lakers' 70-game winning streak in the early 33s is not as valuable as it is now. Not only are there fewer teams, but the entire basketball system is not ideal. The biggest highlight after the star game.

As for the trade deadline shortly after the All-Star break, there were not many turmoil. The most concerned one is probably a deal between the Eagles and the Clippers. The Eagles traded Wilkins for Danny Manning of the Clippers. No one cares what the team considers.

As for Jazz.

Although Stockton is basically reimbursed for the season, the Jazz urgently needs to find an economical and practical player to replace him, but in fact... this job is not so easy to do. On the one hand, there are no suitable players, and there is no A suitable bargaining chip. On the other hand, the Jazz's current salary has exceeded the salary cap. The cost of finding a player to temporarily replace Stockton far exceeds the benefits of this operation plan.

So for the Jazz at this stage, Li Shengli and Malone are still teaming up to dominate the inside, waiting for Stockton's return, and on the way to a 30-game winning streak, almost every team in the league seems determined to intercept a Wave.

……

On February 2, the Jazz landed in Boston.

The background of the Celtics team is terrible. With 16 championships in hand and an unprecedented eight consecutive championships, the Celtics occupy a pivotal position in NBA history.

However, when the dynasty always declines, the Celtics, who have always been regular visitors to the Eastern Conference playoffs, are not having a good time this season. They are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, and the root cause of all this is... the number one scoring grenade cultivated by one hand Gee Lewis died unexpectedly of a heart attack early in the season.

Reggie Lewis averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game last season. In terms of this data alone, he is definitely the Celtics' leader and a first-line all-around star in the NBA. Without him The Celtics are really not a strong team, and everyone has seen the dawn of the Jazz's 30-game winning streak.

The Jazz locker room before the game.

"Li, let me take the lead in this game!" Ma Long lay down and received the pre-match foot massage from the team's technician, even though the technician's elder brother wrinkled his nose and was about to be suffocated by a pair of big stinky feet.

"Can you do it? There are still several ahead of you. It doesn't seem easy for you to win the scoring title once." Li Shengli curled his lips.

"Don't talk nonsense, I sacrificed so much this season to help you get Larry Johnson down, and you have the heart not to help me?" Ma Long looked at Li Shengli affectionately, "You have to step on your horse this season. You won the rebounding and blocking champions, and you have no chance for the scoring champion. If you don’t help me win the scoring champion, are you still a person?”

As Ma Long said, Li Shengli currently averages 18.3 rebounds per game, followed by Rodman's 17.3 rebounds per game. As for the average of 4.5 blocks per game, he also ranks first, followed by the Denver Nuggets Muto Mbo's 4.1, not surprisingly, this season's two kings have been contracted in advance.

If Stockton was here, the assists leader would not have run this season, and the Jazz could hold the three kings. Obviously, Stockton is no longer good, and Malone has a "bad heart", and he wants to get a scoring leader to be printed on his personal resume. .

The competition for the scoring title is fierce now.

Jordan is the first with 30.1 points, the general is second with 29.8 points, O'Neal is the third with 29.6 points, and Malone is the fourth with 29.2 points. With half of the schedule left this season, it is really hard to say who will win the scoring title, because the competition for the top four is very difficult. achieved within 1 point.

Needless to say, Jordan, even as the Bulls' No. 7 scorer, scoring [-] consecutive games is very fucked up, but compared with before, this season is the most hanging one, because the general is too tight.

As for O'Neal, this guy has adapted to the NBA environment more and more after a season of honing, and this season broke out in the small universe, scoring 29.6 points as the core of the Magic insider.

As for the general, with Rodman, a coolie power forward who works hard, his offense is liberated, and this season is also the closest he has come to scoring. He is struggling in every game.

back to jazz...

The situation here is somewhat similar to that of the Spurs, the only difference is that Li Shengli will be more comprehensive and stronger than Rodman, so as long as the Jazz is willing to sacrifice shots and score to fulfill Malone when the game is sure to win, Malone is hopeful. Wang's is also the most promising to hit the MVP of the regular season.

As for whether Li Shengli is willing to sacrifice, Ma Long doesn't have to think about it, because he knows... no matter how Li Shengli plays around, those who should give him a ride will still give him a ride.

……

"Shit, what do you think about Shaq?" Malone said angrily, because it was O'Neal who stood behind Malone in points per game.

"How do I know, this guy is getting more and more fierce. If Hardaway is raised, the water in the East will be muddy, and maybe he can reach the Eastern Conference Finals this season." Li Shengli shook his head, "But even if you exceed Shaq, you have Robinson and Jordan in front of you."

"Never mind him, I'm playing against the Celtics today. It's still the old rule. If you have an advantage, let me score. I must win the scoring title this season."

"Scratch? Are you really not afraid of fans calling you a big brush?"

"Fuck you, how do you think the scoring champion came to be? If you really want to be serious, which one didn't you win?" Ma Long said disdainfully: "Also... John is missing the assists champion, what's wrong with me being the scoring champion?"

"Whatever you want, there are still 30 games in the regular season this season, it's all up to you."

"30 games are enough. It's better to meet someone from Ewing's side, otherwise the game will not be enjoyable. It's better to be like the All-Star game."

But addictive?

Where did this violence come from?

Li Shengli has convinced Ma Long's belligerence.

In the All-Star game, Larry Johnson was elbowed and had a concussion for 5 games. Kemp hugged O'Neal, and there were constant conflicts. In view of the special nature of the All-Stars, I have never seen an All-Star who can still fight. , The official punishment for this after the game is only a fine, not a suspension, which can be regarded as turning a major event into a minor one.

So, both Malone and Kemp were bled, but Li Shengli and O'Neill were the ones who had the most bloodletting, because they had to pay for the damage to the stadium facilities... O'Neill paid for the electronic advertising screen that was blown up by him, and Li Shengli paid for the blown one The camera, and what's more, even a few chairs on the Eastern bench have been ticketed.

But compared to the fine, Ewing's side is really aggrieved.

Coming aggressively, he retreated in disgrace.

This year's chaotic All-Stars ended with Ewing as the loser, but even if someone retires in this dispute, there will be fresh blood joining the battle. When the latecomers recall this horrific history, they can only give evaluation one……

In this turmoil, no matter who they are, their whole life is a life of fighting. There is a beginning, but there is no end.
