Chapter 508 Short Board
A player without ambition cannot become a top super giant.

James' "ambition" is not limited to Los Angeles, he wants to become the absolute ruler of this league.

And the most important attribute of being a ruler is the championship. Although James has won the championship today, it is far from enough for a star who is almost crazy about the championship.

He wants to win more championships to consolidate his league status.

In addition to the championship, MVP is also a very important bargaining chip. Today, James has won the regular season MVP, the finals MVP and the All-Star Game MVP.

In this season's regular season MVP selection, James has ranked first in the MVP list for 6 consecutive months, but Wade is not far behind. If the momentum of this game continues, James is bound to win this season's MVP.

If James completes the regular season MVP + championship + finals MVP this season, then his No. [-] position in the league will become more and more stable.

James switched defenses in front of Mu Chenfeng, which caused great interference to Mu Chenfeng's offense. The effect was immediate. Mu Chenfeng's shooting rate began to decline, while he himself used his body to force Mu Chenfeng. In terms of confrontation, only Barrett could compete with him.

The place where Mu Chenfeng suffered the impact was aching. Who knows how James' body was tempered, and it was so strong. Mu Chenfeng could only bear the impact silently, but there was nothing he could do.

Looking at the entire league, there are not many players with both physical and technical skills like James, so they are the most troublesome objects for defenders in the league. They cannot be targeted at all when defending. All they can do is "pray".

However, although Mu Chenfeng suffered a disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation, he was still very good at using defensive skills, trying to use some small skills to limit James' offense.

"It's quite capable." James felt that Mu Chenfeng's hard defense had indeed caused a certain hindrance to his offense, but such an effect seemed like a drop in the bucket in the face of absolute strength. James still broke through Mu Chenfeng's defense and directly attacked the basket.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work." Mu Chenfeng sighed, and then a black shadow sprang out from behind him, jumped high, and fixed James' shot on the backboard.

"Catch up." It was Barrett. Barrett completed the supplementary defense at a critical time and successfully prevented James' goal.

It was a clean block and broke James' streak of 54 consecutive games without a block.

It is very difficult for a core player to be able to not be blocked in 54 consecutive games, because they suffer from the most rigorous offense, and the closer he is to the basket, the greater the chance of being blocked.

This time, he thought everything would be all right after getting past Mu Chenfeng, but he never expected that Barrett would appear in the most suitable position at the most inappropriate time, and gave himself and himself a solid big hot pot.

However, a star is a star, and James did not have any mood swings because of being blocked. His first reaction was to grab the rebound and win a second attack for himself.

"Fast break!" Steinmeier's body was like a full bow and arrow, holding the ball in his right hand, ready to shoot the ball. The other players were already down, waiting for his pass.

boom! ! !
James took off almost at the same time as Standemeier passed the ball, blocked his passing route, and blocked Standemeier's pass with almost all his strength with one hand.

"It hurts." James accepted the opponent's full pass with the strength of one hand, and a feeling of numbness was instilled in the whole arm instantly, but the result was very satisfying. The Heat's players were busy in vain, and were strangled in their own half by James' keen judgment.

In the backcourt at this time, a one-on-one situation between James and Standemire was formed, and the other 8 players were in the other half.

James is particularly good at one-on-one duels, especially when the opponent is a relatively slow-moving big insider. James is even more handy in fighting. The continuous change of direction has already made Standemeier dizzy. Coupled with the smooth turning movement, he successfully crushed the opponent's defense, completely ignored Standemeier, and hit the "empty basket".

Standemire just made a few clumsy responses and the ball went in.

It has to be said that Standemeier performed extremely poorly during the entire defensive process. This is not the first time he has been "played" by a flexible forward. Even if he is not a top striker like James, when facing a striker of average strength, Standemeier's performance in "defending the small with the big" is not satisfactory, but it is more straightforward by James, without a trace of resistance.

The Heat's management watched the normal game in the VIP box. They were very dissatisfied with Standermeier's performance. As a team aiming at the championship, such internal strength is obviously not enough. The reason why the team has won 27 consecutive victories is entirely because the Big Three's offense is too incomprehensible, and they have won many games by attacking and attacking. The abilities are very average. If they want to win the championship, they need to improve their inside strength, especially the protection of the basket and the protection of rebounds.

Black Lee sighed softly. The talents of Standemire's inside players have almost been tapped, but the talents of the players are there, and the upper limit is really limited. The loss of the championship last season was also due to inside problems. Black gradually lost patience with the team's current inside. They continue to supplement the strength of the inside.

"The current alliance is too calm, it's time to make some big moves." Black Lee made up his mind and immediately organized all the management to hold an emergency meeting.
