Chapter 523: Western Finals!

"For me, it's that simple to play such statistics, because I have such ability." After the game, facing the three layers of media inside and outside, Li Ba said these words with his chin raised.

None of the media reporters dared to object on the spot, because the opponents would humiliate themselves, and Li Ba would definitely slap him in the face with data on the spot, so his words received a lot of applause.

Some reporters also remained silent, they are part of the media who opposed Li Ba.

"I heard that after this round, the league will announce the winner of the MVP, and I still have the same attitude. If I am not the MVP of this season, then I will not accept or agree with anyone who gets this honor, including Shaquille O'Neal. And Tim Duncan, and of course Steve Nash."

Li Ba said again.

He finally said: "It's my honor, you don't need to give it to me, but I will definitely have my attitude, I will tell you my attitude directly, I don't approve of you."

The reason why he said these words is because he knows that although the league has replaced a group of scoring reporters, it does not mean that he will get a fair scoring.

He knew very well what was there and who he was.

To put it simply, he would be naturally rejected here.

Back in the locker room, Li Ba looked at his phone, and there were a lot of caller IDs.

Then it rang again, it was Dayao.

"Dayao, haha, congratulations to me?"

"You kid, you're amazing, and you got another 4-double? Other super giants want to get 4-double, but they never have a chance in their lifetime. Are you just playing around?"

Dayao's tone seemed surprised.

"Hammer, I have taken YOU!" The voice of the bus sounded.

The two lived together, both at Dazhi's house.

"That's how I can!" Li Ba laughed triumphantly.

"It seems that the Mavericks really can't beat you, the Western Conference finals are secured!" Dayao said enviously.

"Hammer and Dazhi are doing well this year, maybe they can really reach the top." Bus also said enviously.

Although he also has a ring, he has not entered the Spurs' playoff list. The ring is just a souvenir for him and has no gold content.

But Li Ba is different from Dazhi. If he can reach the top, one will be the core boss of the team, and the other will be an important rotation player. The gold content is completely different.

Dayao said again: "Tie Hammer, it seems that you are right. It is really not easy for a defensive team to come back. The Mavericks are basically finished."

As Dayao said, in Game 4 on the 15th, the Suns made another victory. In the second series, they swept the Mavericks and entered the Western Conference Finals.

In the G4 game, Li Ba did not hit a 4-double, nor did he hit a 5*5. In 32 minutes, he made 7 of 8 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, 6 steals, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 turnover. foul.

He wanted to play the whole game, but it was possible to complete 5*5, or even hit a 4-double, but in order to save his energy, he chose to end.

In the second series, he averaged 15.5 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 8.25 steals, 3 blocks, 1.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. Compared with the first series, rebounds and blocks decreased, and steals increased.

The number of rebounds decreased because the Suns improved their zone defense, which greatly suppressed the number of shots taken by the Mavericks. In addition, the Suns had too many fast breaks, and the overall number of rebounds also decreased significantly.

And the Mavericks didn't have any inside offense, which made his blocks a lot less, and the overall data was not as impressive as the first series.

But the existence of two quadruple-doubles actually made his second series data not weaker than the first series.

In the first series, he averaged a triple-double plus 5*5. In the second series, he averaged the same triple-double, but without 5*5.

But overall, in these two series, he is the strongest performer among all the players participating in the playoffs in the league, and none of them.

The next day, the Suns returned to Phoenix and were welcomed by countless fans. The team lined up from the airport to the city.

On this day, the Suns and Li Ba made countless media headlines.

"Although the Hammers put up incredible numbers in the first two series of the playoffs, it only represents the playoffs. In the regular season, he did not show such dominance. I mean, These are two different things, and I would like to advise those ladies and gentlemen who are grading, you should judge them according to their regular season performance, which is the most fair."

Jonathan Fagan, a well-known basketball commentator and one of the media people who scored the league this time, said so in his Yahoo Sports column.

The well-known basketball commentator Christine Laidlow, who has always supported Li Ba, also updated his ESPN column, in which he said:

"Mr. Fagan mentioned that scoring should be based on the performance in the regular season, so I would like to remind everyone that in the regular season, the statistics of the Hammers are unmatched."

Spurs coach Popovich also accepted an interview with the media this time. He said: "The media has the power to score freely. This is the power given to them by the law and the league. It should not be influenced by anyone, including the Chinese player."

A large number of media people expressed their views on this, but generally speaking, those who support Li Ba are in the minority.

This also means that the possibility of Li Ba winning the MVP is still not very high.

On the Internet, the number of fans in the United States who support Li Ba is obviously not as large as the number of people who support Nash, Duncan and O'Neal.

But outside the United States, people who support Li Ba account for the majority.

"Hammer, you still offended the media too much." Bill Duffy came to Li Ba's house and chatted with him.

He was very helpless. Li Ba's personality was beyond his control. This was the result of offending the media and not choosing Nike and Adidas.

He has tried his best to use his contacts, but it is useless, and it is a drop in the bucket.

"Bill, I told you, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter this year, and it doesn't matter next year. But one day I will tell everyone with statistics. If the honor doesn't belong to me, then you will become a joke." Li Ba didn't any regrets.

Man, why should you be so cautious when you are angry?

In New York, the league headquarters, Stern felt a little helpless when he got the MVP.

"Mr. Stern, if the result is changed again, the fairness of the alliance will be criticized by all the media once the news gets out," Bald Xiao said.

"Sir, this result actually represents the will of most of the media. The Hammer only won 26 of the 111 first-place tickets."

Vice President Russ Granik said.

"..." Stern was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said to Las Granik, "You can announce it as planned."

He can no longer manipulate the ownership of the MVP. Although he does not want the media to influence the league through scoring, nor does he want the capital forces behind the media to intervene in the operation of the league, the league cannot do without the media.

The purpose of opening up the rating qualifications to the media was to curry favor with the media and promote the alliance, so it was impossible to offend them too much, and it was impossible to question their fairness again and again.

On May 20th, the second round was finally over.

In the West, the Suns and the Spurs will meet in the Western Conference Finals.

In the East, the Pistons and the Knicks will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Western Conference Finals will start on May 22, while the Eastern Conference Finals will start on May 23.

On the 21st, the league finally announced the honor of the season's heaviest pound.
