NBA bench saves national team

Except for Qin Feng, Durant, and James, the top superstars shining in the league, other superstars did not give in too much.

Dwight Howard continued his dominance in the restricted area, averaging 17.9 points, 14.1 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 1.4 assists per game this season.

Including the two data kings of the rebounding king and the blocking king!

Although the scoring has dropped significantly compared to last season, this does not affect his role on the defensive end.

Moreover, Howard performed strongly in the first half of the season after being traded after being traded in the second half of the season, helping the Timberwolves reach the playoffs!

The league's No. [-] center deserves its name.

For now, there is no inside player who can shake Howard's dominance in the penalty area.

Chris Paul averaged 10.9 assists per game and won the assists title.

After being traded to the Clippers, Paul ushered in a new life, his career reached another level, and he had great ambitions to win a championship.

With Paul's strong performance, the Clippers are also firmly among the Western Conference powerhouses.

科比本赛季场均打出28.5分6.5篮板7.9助攻1.5抢断0.7封盖的数据表现，依然是联盟前五的超级明星。

Among them, the number of assists per game also created a career high.

There are also older generation superstars such as Nash, Nowitzki, Duncan, etc., who are still at their peak and have performed extremely well.

But no matter how good or outstanding these superstars are, there is still a huge gap compared with Qin Feng.

Many media and basketball experts also expressed their feelings that Qin Feng is really sitting on the king's seat, overlooking the competition of these superstars.

No one can take his throne from him, not even close.

This is very scary.

Immediately afterwards, the NBA's major media began to predict the season awards.

Qin Feng undoubtedly became the most mentioned name again.

More than 90.00% of the predictions are that Qin Feng will once again win the two heavyweight awards of regular season mvp and best defensive player, and achieve the achievement of three consecutive mvp and three consecutive best defensive players.

Make history!

The winners of the regular season awards are of course fans looking forward to, but the nba officials will not announce the names of these winners until a long time later.

Prior to this, the playoffs had already started.

February 4th, US time.

The nba playoffs officially kicked off.

A total of 4 games were arranged on the first match day.

Two in the West and two in the East.

The most eye-catching series is undoubtedly the Lakers vs. Timberwolves series.

Although the Timberwolves entered the playoffs on the last train and are considered a team in the first round, fans are still full of expectations for this young team with a balanced offense and defense.

I want to see how the Timberwolves can perform in the playoffs.

This year is definitely hopeless, but next year there is a great opportunity to make a difference in the playoffs.

of course.

The premise is that they can retain free agent Dwight Howard in the summer offseason.

......

Two hours before the game.

The Staples Center is already packed with people, and there are no seats left.

Lakers fans have been looking forward to this moment for too long.

In recent years, they have been championship-level teams, but every time they go to the playoffs, they fail in the first three rounds of the playoffs. They only broke into the finals and won the championship in the year Qin Feng retired.

This makes the fans very sorry.

now.

The Lakers signed NBA superstar Qin Feng in the offseason last year, which instantly improved the team's strength by several levels.

The Lakers also played strongly in the regular season, achieving the league's first record, and the record of 70 wins also created a new record for the number of regular season wins in the history of the Lakers.

So the Lakers' playoffs are very worth looking forward to.

All Lakers fans are eagerly looking forward to the team being able to play an unrivaled game in the playoffs, and then go all the way to win the championship!

Audience side.

Celebrities from all walks of life also came to help out.

Nicholson, "Magic" Johnson, Scarlett, Beckham and other stars gathered together to support the Lakers.

These stars sat in the front row, talking and laughing, and their aura was very strong.

Everyone is waiting for the game to start.

at this time.

The two teams are conducting pre-match interviews.

Lakers interview room.

The three giants, Qin Feng, Kobe, and Gasol sat in turn, with stern faces and murderous looks in their eyes.

"Qin, this will be your first playoff game with the Lakers, how do you feel?"

a reporter asked.

"No feeling! I just want the game to start quickly, and then sweep the Timberwolves to advance to the next round."

"For me, these playoffs are of no interest. The only thing I want to play is the finals!"

Qin Feng said, with impatience in his tone.

The whole world knows that what he wants to do most is to avenge the loss of last season's finals.

"Qin, what do you think of the Timberwolves team? Do you think the configuration of the Timberwolves can pose a threat to you?"

a reporter asked.

"This is a team with great potential. I hope they can bring me some surprises, otherwise this round of the series will be very boring."

"The Timberwolves' configuration is very good, but they can't threaten us yet! There is no team in this league that can threaten us."

Qin Feng said, very domineering.

"Kobe, stepping into the playoffs again, how do you feel?"

a reporter asked.

"I hate losing! I don't want to fail again! I want to be the last winner in this year's playoffs!"

Kobe said through gritted teeth.

Thinking of the losses in the playoffs in the past few years, he was very angry.

"Cole, as a rookie coach, you have a record of 70 wins in your first coaching season. What do you think?"

a reporter asked.

"This is not due to me alone, this is due to our team, and I am very honored to be able to join the Lakers team."

"I will continue to work hard to help the team go further."

Cole said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He is also very clear that his coaching career started very successfully.

Regardless of the future, even now, he has already created many records.

After interviewing a few more questions, the reporters ended their pre-match interviews.

Timberwolves pregame interview.

The reporters seized on a problem, and that was Harden's going to the nightclub.

Gossip media reported before that during the two days when the Timberwolves came to Los Angeles to prepare for the playoffs, Harden went to nightclubs for two consecutive days.

In this regard, Harden said that such behavior will not affect his state in the game...

After completing the pre-match interview.

Players from the two teams walked through the long tunnel to the spotlighted court and began their pre-match warm-ups.

The audience also gave out huge cheers.

The atmosphere in the entire arena suddenly became tense and intense.
