"Bryant said you just took advantage of the division of the Player of the Week Award into the East and the West, otherwise you wouldn't have won so many Player of the Week awards. He didn't agree with the idea that you surpassed David Robinson's performance in his rookie season."

"David Robinson is one of the best players in NBA history. It is an honor for me to be discussed with him. But I am curious, how many times did Kobe win the Player of the Week in his rookie season?"

"Kobe Bryant didn't win the Player of the Week award in his rookie season."

"So that's the case, he's jealous! He may have played for so many years and never won four Player of the Week awards in one season, and he's feeling unbalanced."

"Bryant won five Player of the Week awards last season, tied for second place in history with Duncan's five Player of the Week awards last season. The highest in history was Duncan's six in the 2001-02 season."

"...Just treat what I just said as nothing, let's move on to the next question."

…

On the day Liu Xiu won his fourth Player of the Week award, the Lakers arrived in Portland in the afternoon.

Kobe and Liu Xiu never dealt with each other, so the media naturally found Kobe and asked him.

Kobe Bryant's answer was no surprise, but then he interviewed Liu Xiu...the warden pretended to overturn his position!

When this interview clip was reported, some people laughed at it, but some people thought Liu Xiu was more interesting than imagined.

The purpose of these interviews is to create highlights for the next game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers.

At present, the top three in the Western Conference seem to be the Timberwolves, Spurs, and Trail Blazers. Each team has 3-4 games left. The Trail Blazers are currently third in the Western Conference with 56 wins and 22 losses, and the Lakers are fourth. With a team record of 54 wins and 24 losses, the Lakers seemed to have little hope.

but!

When we first entered April, we saw that the top five teams in the Western Conference still had 8-10 games left. The Lakers, who were ranked fifth at the time, all had a record of 51 wins and 21 losses. It seemed that the top five teams could all win 60 games. It looks like this, but the Lakers have recently won 3 games and lost 3 games.

Now with 57 wins and 21 losses, it is difficult for the Spurs to win 60 games. The Kings have been overtaken by the Lakers at 54 wins and 25 losses.

As for the Trail Blazers, who are currently ranked third in the Western Conference, they have really become a dark horse in people's minds, and this is why Liu Xiu's performance is becoming more and more recognized.

There are many strong matchups at the end of the season. Between the winners and the losers, each team's record at the end of the season is not good. It is hard to say that the Lakers will be the first in the Western Conference.

But the more so, the happier the Alliance will be!

Looking at the Eastern Conference, they won their 60th victory of the season yesterday, improving their record to 60 wins and 19 losses, leading the league.

But not much is discussed about them.

Because the Pistons, who have the second-highest record in the Eastern Conference and the third-highest ranking, only have 49 wins and 29 losses; the Nets, who have the third-highest record and the second-highest ranking, have only 45 wins and 33 losses.

The Pacers are far ahead and there is no suspense.

At the end of this season, the Eastern Conference was not as competitive as last season when the first to fifth place records were 50 wins, 49 wins, 48 ​​wins, 48 ​​wins, and 47 wins respectively.

We all know that the Pacers are strong, and we all want to see how the Pacers will fare in the playoffs.

But the end of the Pacers' season was really uneventful. No one even discussed Artest's award of the Week.

Controversy, suspense...these are more attractive!

…

…

There was a back-to-back game on the 10th and 11th. Thanks to returning to home for the second game of the back-to-back, the Trail Blazers players were able to have a good rest at home on the 12th.

Just a certain anonymous but energetic rookie went to receive the trophy, be interviewed, and pretended to be a failure...

On April 13th, the Trail Blazers’ fourth-to-last game day of the season arrived.

At 7:10 pm, the Lakers and Trail Blazers entered the court one after another.

There were many "uninvited guests" at the scene, but no one could chase them away. They bought tickets to come in - Lakers fans of the public enemies of each team!

When Liu Xiu entered the stadium, he saw some Lakers fans booing him at the top of their lungs. These people occupied hundreds of seats in the front row opposite the technical stage.

Liu Xiu complained in admiration: "Lakers fans are really brave. There are 12,000 people around them. Aren't they afraid of getting beaten?"

The little flying squirrel responded: "I am a fan of the Nobles, and I am confident that one can fight a hundred. They have already had a fight this year, and they were very brave."

"Oh? What's going on? Tell me!" The warden's Bagua soul burned.

"Every time the Lakers play away games at the end of the season, Nobles fans will go to every away game to cheer louder than anyone else. No one except the Lakers players look down on them... There will always be people who can't stand them.

They went to Memphis to play a game two days ago and won. The noble fans celebrated at the scene and started fighting with the farmers over there..."

Setting up the idle goal formation, Liu Xiu looked at the player detection reports from the opposite side.

"Kobe Bryant, 25 years old... ability evaluation is 98, offense is 96, defense is 98...

Shaquille O'Neal, 32 years old, 216 cm, 144 kg, C, ability evaluation 99, offense 100, defense 92..."

Liu Xiu is already numb. If he loses weight, he can rise to the second highest ability rating in the league, higher than Kobe and Garnett who work hard every night on both offense and defense...

He felt a little sorry for the little blacksmith opposite... Oh?

Liu Xiu suddenly received a series of reminders to cure Kobe Bryant, and it was very violent!

Looking up, he saw that the big screen had just switched content, but he still caught sight of the content - his four best-of-the-week performances this season and his highlight moments.

Sure enough, the little blacksmith was jealous!

But this has been posted for a while, right? The fans at the scene have been screaming for a while.

The little blacksmith's reflex arc is indeed a bit longer than that of ordinary people...

The strength of the OK group put Liu Xiu under great pressure.

The other two giants of the Lakers...

"Gary Payton, 35 years old...ability rating 77...

Karl Malone, 40 years old...ability evaluation 83..."

Karl Malone has been hampered by injuries and has missed 39 games in total, but his strength is still there. In the recent game against the Spurs, Malone scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming the first triple-double in NBA history.

The oldest player.

Payton's decline is serious. There are some skills that you may rarely use in normal times, but you can't live without them. Payton's performance at the borderline level of a first-class star at the beginning of the season is because he can complete the basic work arranged by the team.

Occasionally, you can rely on your personal abilities to do things beyond the requirements that can help the team.

But after all, there are few extra things, and there are naturally few related skills to perform. In addition, at his age, he has really deteriorated over time.

After the weekend, Payton averaged 8.6 points and 4.5 assists per game. His offensive efficiency dropped seriously, but his defense of 84 was still very good.

…

"The Archmage: State of the Game."

Copy object:

Teammate: Zach Randolph…

Opponent: Kobe Bryant, because the host has the buff: Mamba players, the host can copy Kobe Bryant's characteristics and transformation talents one additional time.

Characteristic Transformation Talent 1: Physical Surge, Characteristic Transformation Talent 2: Center Booster.”

"Physical strength surge: Whenever the host has obvious physical decline, it can pick up the collar of the jersey, and the physical strength will quickly recover to a level that will not affect the host's technical movements; whenever the host completes a round of offense or defense, it can pick up the shirt collar

The physical impact of the previous attack or defense will quickly fade and your mind will be calmer."

"Center booster: When an inside teammate receives a pass from the host, there is a certain probability that he will enter a hot state, and there is a certain probability that it will be easier to find the rhythm of shooting or passing... (Note: The probability is affected by the match between the inside player and the host's play style.

Degree, tacit understanding, strength of inside players... and other factors affect it.)"

The game was about to start. Liu Xiu put on the magnesium powder and completed the copy of his talent and walked onto the court.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Myers, Randolph, Dale Davis.

Lakers starting lineup: Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone, O'Neal.

When Kobe came on the court, he saw the fiery eyes of the interesting rookie opposite him.

He felt the excitement... and desire in the eyes of the rookie across from him?

He also felt a little excited. He had also become the target of challenges from rookies, just like when he first entered the NBA and tried to challenge Jordan.

Liu Xiu's eyes... are naturally due to the two talents he copied from Kobe!

At 7:30 in the evening, O'Neal defeated Dale Davis to win the jump ball, and the Lakers took the lead.

Payton advanced to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Malone, and then stretched to the wing.

Malone lobbed the ball to O'Neal, and Dell-Davis fought hard against O'Neal...unable to bear it, O'Neal took a step forward after receiving the ball, forcefully attacked Dell-Davis, and smashed the ball into the basket through Dell-Davis.

.

O'Neal's time from receiving the ball to dunking was so short that the technical desk regarded Malone's lob as an assist!

Compared with the previous few games, the feeling has completely changed!

Playoff Shark!

In transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu attacks with the ball, and the Lakers defend him tightly!

Unlike the team that initially judged Liu Xiu based on experience, now the Lakers treat Liu Xiu as a giant player!

Liu Xiu changed direction in front of his body and Miles took the initiative to screen, but failed to get rid of the defense and was cut off by the Lakers defense.

Liu Xiu made a prompt decision and took the initiative to attack Kobe who was coming up to defend him. He turned over and took a mid-range shot...
