NBA: Starting with James Harden

"Lee, I'm not saying anything bad about you, the playoffs are coming soon, you need to control yourself, you may be young, but don't go too crazy, you are very important to the team"

"Li, you must not be weak."

""Fuck!"

In the locker room, teammates were making all kinds of jokes with Li Zhen.

Li Zhen also walked towards Marion to teach him a lesson. The

Mavericks' locker room is mostly composed of veterans, and they all understand the emotional issues between young people and women.

The scene was very chaotic. Although they were not young anymore, they all looked like a bunch of old kids, even Nowitzki got involved. Carlisle, who had just heard the door being pushed open, looked at the group of old guys helplessly.

They didn't look like veterans who had just finished a fierce game.......

Kidd stood beside Carlisle.

Kidd looked at Li Zhen with a somewhat proud look in his eyes.

Kidd didn't expect Li Zhen to grow so fast in the game.

The guy who had asked him for advice on passing the ball before has now become the team's organizing master.

""Jason, this kid has great skills and willpower," Carlisle said.

"Well, he has always been the hardest worker."Kidd said with a smile.

Every morning, Li Zhen is one of the first players to come to the gym for training.

As a young man, Kidd knows that such a habit is not easy for a rookie like Li Zhen.

"Well, Donnie and I both hope that he can become the leader of this team and take over Dirk's responsibilities."Carlisle said

"I will do my best to help him."Kidd said.

Carlisle patted Kidd on the shoulder and said nothing more.

Kidd's contract will expire next season, and the Mavericks' best chance to win the championship is in the next two years.

If nothing is achieved in these two seasons, then those veterans who should retire will retire, and those who should be traded will be traded.

At that time, Li Zhen will be the only hope for the Mavericks to rebuild and rise, and even Nowitzki will eventually become his assistant.........

After winning this game, the Mavericks' ranking is basically determined.

As long as the Mavericks don't have an extreme losing streak and the Nuggets keep winning, the ranking will not change.

In addition to the Mavericks and the Lakers, other teams in the West have also entered the sprint stage of the playoffs.

The difference between third and eighth wins is only between three to four games, and there will be changes as long as one win or one loss.

And almost every team wants to pick opponents, and every team has a team they prefer to meet.

Of course, it's not just the West, the Eastern Conference teams are the same.

This also leads to the fact that the closer it gets to the end of the season, the greater the impact of the win-loss relationship of a game will have.............

The Mavericks played the last few games without much desire.

Their main task is to help Nowitzki get back to form.

Li Zhen played as a substitute as usual, and his time has decreased to a certain extent.

The players of the third lineup have received more time, and Carlisle strictly implements the policy of protecting every player who has to bear certain responsibilities in the playoffs.

Because of the decline in playing time, Li Zhen's average score has also dropped to 32 points!

Although there is no chance to compete for the honor of scoring champion, he is still qualified to rank.

In the average scoring list, Durant, who is after Li Zhen, averages 30.1 points per game.

Although fans did not ask for the scoring champion rule to be changed for Li Zhen, after all, the scoring champion still needs to play more games.

It's just that this ranking makes Durant look a little embarrassed.

Durant has also been desperately cutting points during this period. He wants to surpass Li Zhen's average score.

But Li Zhen is very cheap. He will brush up points when playing against weak teams. After a few games, unless Durant can brush up 160 points in the last two games, he can surpass Li Zhen.

Durant played 80 games this season. To improve by 1 point, he would need 80 points. To improve by 2 points, he would need 160 points. This was obviously impossible. Durant had no hope of catching up with Li Zhen, so he had to give up.

Li Zhen also became the first rookie whose average score was higher than the scoring champion, but he could not win the scoring champion honor.

Not winning the scoring champion did not affect Li Zhen's mood.

Reba's visa was successfully obtained, and her flight ticket was also bought. She would be here soon. Li Zhen's mood was getting better and better.

In the penultimate home game against the Warriors, Li Zhen scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to help the team win. This was his 8th triple-double this season.

This triple-double ranks second in history.

The rookie player who scored the most triple-doubles in a single season was Oscar Robertson (1960-61 season, 26 times), ranked second was Li Zhen, and ranked third was Magic Johnson (1979-1980 season, 7 times).

In the last game against the Timberwolves, Li Zhen scored 35 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds to help the team win the game again.

Li Zhen's continuous outbursts also made fans look forward to his first playoff game!!!

After the game against the Timberwolves.

Li Zhen's data was also fixed at 32 points, 7.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game. Such average data is shocking for a rookie. You know, this is the data that Li Zhen played in only 34 minutes per game.

Li Zhen played a total of 27 games, which is not a small base.

Li Zhen was compared with the ancient beast by the media and fans.

At the press conference after the game, Li Zhen was surrounded by reporters.

As one of the most dazzling rookies this season, Li Zhen came from behind and asked the league to change the rules for him. It is almost certain that he will win the"Rookie of the Year"!

Such Li Zhen is worthy of reporters' pursuit.

The reporter asked:"Li, what are your expectations for your playoff debut? How many points do you plan to get?"

Li Zhen smiled and said:"To be honest, I have been waiting for the playoffs for a long time. As for how many points I can get? I don't know, I will try my best!!"

In addition to the upcoming playoffs, what made Li Zhen happy was that Reba came a day after the regular season ended.

On the plane.

Reba was a little nervous. Was she coming to watch the game considered to meet her online friend in person?

Did she really just treat him as an ordinary friend? Reba herself was a little unclear.

Li Zhen arranged everything for Reba, including tickets, itinerary, etc....

Reba didn't need to worry about these.

On the plane, Reba was thinking about how she should look when she met Li Zhen for the first time.

What should she say when they greeted each other for the first time?

Although the two chatted well through text messages and video, what would it be like in reality?

Was she really as good as he said? Reba was a little unconfident.
